Ok Nice with Patrick Doran
Comedian, skater, and co-host of Podcast About List stops by
If you have a Twitter, then you’ve seen that grinning Kelsey Grammer look alike followed by great stuff like— “telling the guy 7 urinals away from me to “have a good one” and staring at him until he acknowledges me” and “whenever a movie is like “from the executive producer of (different movie)” its like… alright cool? i dont care if that guy lives or dies”.
It’s hard to put a concise label on Patrick. He co-hosts the hilarious Podcast About List, skates, writes some of the greatest jokes I’ve ever seen, and often pulls off a crazy fit, which is an accomplishment on its own. Who else is wearing a TK Krew hoodie with Ice Creams in 2022? Fits like these match Patrick’s unique place in the scene. He isn’t in the business of pandering—his peculiar comedic presence has earned his tweets some consistent appearances in one of my workplace’s slack channels, the highest honor.

What's your day-to-day like?
I wake up every day around like 7:00/8:00 and then immediately try to go back to sleep if I can. If I cant get back to sleep I put like 280mg of caffeine into my body immediately. I was trying to quit drinking energy drinks with cold brew, but I ended up drinking cold brew in the morning and then drinking some kind of energy drink later in the day. im addicted to being hyper af all the damn time. around 10AM i’ll head to the office we share with the Home Planet guys and start recording the podcast or work on something else. if the weather is nice, i’ll go skate at maria hernandez or some place else if im not feeling lazy and want to travel 30 min to skate a curb.
Is there any advice you've been given that you run off of?
My buddy Mike D said “never skimp out on Toilet paper” to me when I was like 17 and it really stuck with me. Ive been in restaurant bathrooms where they have and its the most degrading experience to have to wipe with that pulpy one ply stuff.
What's your go-to beverage?
for a while it was Celsius energy drinks but ive switched over to Yerba Mate because Im tricking myself into thinking thats healthy. I gotta cut back, im sure my heart will explode when im 40.
Favorite piece of art and why?
this is awesome.
Favorite thing you own?
i have this Ice Cream sneakers box that ive been using as like a memory box. gotta lot of great stuff in there. its got a signed Dan Deacon t shirt from the first show I ever attended, a bill clinton playing saxophone tie, hotel keys, a Mike Pence quarter, kingo my roommate alex gave me, etc. Im a huge pack rat and i love to put sentimental value on objects.
Anything you'd like to plug?
My buddies at home planet, and the tour Pod About List is going on in may. You should also check out Alcohol and Hard Drugs, lots of people love that crap so much.
