An incredibly bitchy little podcast, with your host, Sam Georgson. "Hey there, I’m Sam and I love to complain,” sounds like the kind of introduction I would give at an AA meeting except instead of battling alcoholism I’m addicted to being a sourpuss, and well—if the shoe fits!
I consider myself to be pessimistic at best and a downright bitch at my worst. Personally, I think complaining is ridiculously funny, and hey, it’s cheaper than therapy—right?!
But in the past, I’ve received some feedback from my nearest and dearest that I could stand to be a bit more positive, which is what inspired this little passion project of mine.
This podcast is meant to be both an outlet for my bad attitude, and a place where friends, family, and even perfect strangers can come to bitch about, well, anything really. So, to all of my fellow Pessimistic Pattys, let it be known that you’re welcome here!

Closing Time
Picture this: It's 1:30 am, the lights come on, 'Closing Time' starts playing over the speakers, the bartenders have turned on you and there are two big burly guys telling you that you can't wait for your Uber inside. Is there anything worse?
I think not! Owen, James, and I take to the podcast for a deep and intellectual conversation about e-cards, eye doctors, expiration dates, and more. You're seriously not going to want to miss this one babes, xx.

Death Penalty
Do you suffer from road rage or are you medicated? As a proud passenger princess myself, I typically abstain — but I understand the urge, driving is hard! Let it out, bestie! Dylan and I take to the pod to grumble about physical labor and publicly shame people who don't use their turn signals. Join in the fun, you know you want to. ;)

Open Campus Lunch
Did your high school have an open campus lunch or were you one of the unlucky ones? I hate to break it to you, but there is truly no experience that could compare to piling seven deep in a friend's car and zipping across the street to the mall food court for a slice of Rocky Rococo's pepperoni pizza and a pink lemonade. None! Join us for a silly little conversation about drunk McDonald's orders, quicksand, walkable cities and so much more.

iPad Kids
Do you ride or die for Steve Jobs? Don’t worry, you’re safe here! Jake and I take to the podcast to discuss the finest technological advances of our lifetime (caller ID & iPhone cases with kickstands) while simultaneously confessing our unyielding need to touch grass and perhaps create something with our hands, because we contain multitudes!

With the Works
I need to apologize to anyone who listens to this episode and purchases a ticket to Lollapalooza because I said Phoebe Bridgers is on the lineup. That is utter misinformation, she's probably busy that weekend, and I have no idea where I heard this rumor or why it came out of my mouth. Please forgive me!
Okay, now that we got that out of the way. If you're NOT mad at me, consider joining us for a silly little episode about dogs — big dogs, small dogs, hotdogs, Chicago-style dogs, corndogs, etc. You name it, we've got it, just the way you like it. ;)

Who Invented Nicknames
Do you have a nickname? Was it self prescribed or bestowed upon you? Do you prefer your god-given name? What if god isn’t real, then what? So many questions!
While you contemplate your answers, why not join us for a silly little episode about the magic of visiting your local Asian supermarket, the terror of encountering your local Christian Bible thumper, and the harsh reality of taking an overwhelming amount of supplements and vitamins before embarking on your daily commute via your local mode of public transportation. Sounds fun, right?
