A Cockmaster And A Drill Sergeant — Episode 709

Papa"s Basement ·

2022/01/20

I totaled my car in the snow and recount the harrowing tale for you with co-host Mollie Heckerling. We also talk about the new John Cena / James Gunn show "Peacemaker" on HBO, and Mollie gets into a brilliant exploration of hair metal bands and 80s masculinity that had me flashing back to the days that Mötley Crüe had me spelling "Jöhn" with an umlaut.

Baby Coffins — Episode 708

Papa"s Basement ·

2022/01/11

Mollie somehow tries to talk about infants dying as a bad thing, but I manage to change her tune by reminding her how adorable (and affordable!) a baby-sized coffin must be. We also talk a friend of hers whose cheating husband tried to convince her that she got herpes from gym equipment (and not his philandering penis), and I come clean about genuinely hating dogs as a species.

“Your President’s Large, Irish Balls” — Episode 707

Papa"s Basement ·

2022/01/09

Mikael surprising us with a massive, audible fart. For the better part of two decades, if you were talking improv comedy in Washington, D.C., you were talking Shawn Westfall. The man established the curriculums taught to countless performers in the city, founded and ran his own improv theater (RIP Unified Scene!), and enthralled innumerable audiences with his longtime comedic partner Mikael Johnson as part of the improv duo ShawnMikael[s]. While Shawn left DC and now calls Portland, OR home, he was

Meconium — Episode 706

Papa"s Basement ·

2022/01/03

Remember Eva? She's back! In mom form! Yes, co-host Eva Kriksciun returns to the show after giving birth to talk with me and Mollie Heckerling about being a new mom. They bond over brooding, I sit on the sidelines, kid-cucked, and then Eva introduces the podcast to the term "meconium." Is it an early-90s black metal band that burned down churches in their native Norway? A radioactive byproduct of the Chernobyl disaster? The first name of a prospective first-round draft pick? You'll have to listen

Vickie — Episode 705

Papa"s Basement ·

2021/12/31

Hear the story of Vickie, a middle-aged Greek importer that my mother tasked me with procuring three items from for New Year's Day (a link to my mom's ridiculous email, mentioned in the episode). Co-host Mollie Heckerling and I also meditate on the weird ways that fame can either find us or elude us (in our case, very much elude us), and what it takes to keep going (answer: amphetamines). Not to mention Mollie's amazing segment on what a giant old lady whore she's looking forward to being when

Attached — Papa’s Basement 704

Papa"s Basement ·

2021/12/23

Mollie Heckerling joins the show again as we discuss adult attachment style (aka why certain people you date are fundamentally going to make you batshit crazy), our OCD mothers, how we’re spending Christmas, and why maybe, just maybe, we aren’t going to make it, after all.

Eva Had A Baby, Mollie Joins The Show — Episode 703

Papa"s Basement ·

2021/12/13

Congrats to co-host Eva Kriksciun and her decision to ruin her life. But the show must go on, and comedian Mollie Heckerling has decided to join the Papa's Basement family as co-host. We discuss the past month of our lives, which has seen me living on my own in the city and ask a girl out (yes, I'm actually straight) and Mollie working on a puppet show where the puppets are (possibly literally) made of trash. I really loved this one. I hope you listen. Mollie is funny as hell and deserves the

John’s Halloween — Episode 701

Papa"s Basement ·

2021/11/08

We discuss John's Halloween costume and the party he ultimately attended, as well as the conclusion of his improv classes at his current theater meaning the end of his social life. Also, Aaron Rodgers lying about his Covid vaccination status, and Eva disclosing that she's going to crap the floor when giving birth. Even if she doesn't have to. Oh, and our shared obsession of Blind Date and its host, Rodger Lodge. Yep, that's it. Click here to listen to the latest episode of Papa's Basement in your

The Papa’s Basement 700th Episode Spookstravaganza —...

Papa"s Basement ·

2021/11/01

After 14 years, we have recorded the 700th episode of the Papa's Basement Podcast. I actually reminisce about the show's history for once, instead of celebrating it the way I do most of the anniversary episodes, which is playing a kazoo sound effect and then doing a normal episode.

John’s Date — Episode 699

2021/10/11

I duped someone into going out on a date with me, and she was game enough to come on the show afterward and discuss what that was like (and keeps the crying to a minimum).

Papa"s Basement ·

2021/10/06

I had an entire show planned, then I remembered as soon as Eva and I started recording that it was the 20th anniversary of my dad's death tomorrow. So I did an entire episode about that instead. I promise it's funny, we just talk about his chain smoking and giant Greek immigrant hog. Click here to listen to the latest episode of Papa's Basement in your browser.

The Godfather Horse Scene Is Ridiculous — Episode 696

Papa"s Basement ·

2021/08/28

I reveal to Eva the various maladies that are claiming my rotting, 40-year-old body, and I then bring up a point that my mom made the last time we both watched The Godfather: the severed horse head scene is maybe the most ridiculously implausible scene in an otherwise fantastic movie. Just a real oasis of bs. Give us your money via Patreon! Click here to listen to the latest episode of Papa's Basement in your browser.

I'm embarrassed to type out what this episode's title was derived from, so you'll have to listen and find out.
