Ep. 116 New Co Host!!! Gastor Almonte



Heyyyy we’re back with a new episode. Well, not the “We” you may be used to. This week we’ve got a new co host going through the onboarding process. He’s seen HR, he’s got his direct deposit info submitted to the finance department, and he’s ready to rock.

Gastor Almonte is one of my oldest friends in comedy and I admire him very much. He’s a father of two older children and he’s a wise man. Take a listen to this fun convo about child-rearing in NYC in 2024!!!

Also, follow Gastor on all the stuff—- @GastorAlmonte

Ep. 115 – We Hired a Sitter #3



This is my second time posting this episode. I made a mistake on the first upload. Apologies to our loyal listeners who eagerly await each episode drop like it’s the McRib at McDonald’s or Pumpkin Spice Latte back in stock at Starbucks. Basically, this episode is a wild ride in podcast experimentation. It’s Guerrilla Podcasting, folks! Anything can happen. Mistakes get made. Chronology be damned! The last segment in this episode was recorded first! Or was it? I don’t know anymore. But the point is, I messed up editing so this one is correct. I hope you enjoy!!!!

Ep. 114 We Hired a Sitter #2



Hi it’s our second episode of the podcast formerly known as Who Cares About Ross and Patrick. This is WE HIRED A SITTER FOR THIS. Thanks for tuning in.

We talk very very openly about money. How we make it, how we spend it, how much we are debting, etc. You’re welcome! Let our stress be your comfort. Patrick talks about the kind of money he makes (or doesn’t make) as a comic and Ross talks about how changing careers is sending their family onto the precipice of financial ruin.

Also, I celebrated 15 years sober this week (this is Patrick writing by the way). So I recorded a very odd solo segment about feeling grateful about my sobriety. So take a listen if interested. There are rats involved.

Feel free to give us both a follow on IG, we communicate a lot with listeners and producers there. @rosserinstyles and @theholbertreport and @who.cares.podcast

We are thinking of putting together a yoga / creativity retreat in Fall 2024. Would you come?

Also, we are thinking of starting a Patreon to try to proceed with this podcast solvently. We would offer bonus episodes, behind the scenes footage, audience questions, etc etc who knows maybe even tasteful nudes. Would you join a patreon if we started one??


Ep. 113 We Hired a Sitter For This First Episode



This is our first episode back in quite a long time! Our podcast is called “We Hired a Sitter For This” now. One day I will figure out how to change the name of the show and the art, etc, but for now, enjoy our first episode back.


Ep. 112 – Who cares about losing virginity??



Hello and welcome to Topic Town, population two!! On this, our one hundred and twelfth episode- we decide to discuss a specific topic and this first one is spicy. We both tell the stories of how we lost our virginity. So saddle up and get on the T train, you’re headed to pound town! Enjoy this mushroom trip about mushroom tips. Eww this description is gross.


Ep. 111 – Who cares about emergency room nightmares??



When your kid gets a gnarly case of Hand, Foot, and Mouth disease, there’s only one way to get a little comfort: Pretend like it was more painful for you- The Parent. Listen in as we recap what it was like to go to a real life medieval emergency room right here in Brooklyn. We also chat about an even worse trauma: Patrick bombing in grand fashion on the internet.

Ep. 110 – Who cares about anything??



Who cares about anything when world war three is on and poppin?? Who cares about anything when you just had an afternoon romp? Who cares about anything when your toddler is a terrrorist?? Who cares about anything when this could be THE LAST EPISODE OF WHO CARES EVER??

We’re saying “could be” because even if it is, that’s only because we are probably going to change the name of the podcast. Take a listen to find out what we might change it to! And let us know if it’s the best idea you’ve ever heard in your life. If you think it’s a bad idea, piss off.

Ep. 108 – Who cares about literal or figurative trash??



This week Ross and Patrick take you on a tour of their current state which is chaotic, sleep deprived, and impassioned. They’re all over the the place- from Bachelor in Paradise to calling a local city council member about the trash crisis in Bushwick. Can you keep up with their scatter brained diatribes?? More importantly, all Ross wants to know is, have you watched Succession and do you love Kendall as much as she does? Trust me, you don’t. Enjoy!
