Papa's Basement

Author, comedian, and all-around mensch Mike Sacks joins us to talk about his latest project, the Amazon-exclusive novelization of Passable In Pink , his 80s-drenched, coming-of-age audio book that satirized Pretty In Pink, Sixteen Candles, and every other work in the John Hughes canon. Hear what life has been like for this DMV-area transplant as he rides out quarantine in a Brooklyn apartment with his daughter, a pair of cats, and a browser window permanently open to the Thrasher’s French Fries camera on the Ocean City boardwalk. Has his OCD-driven work ethic and punk rock, DIY attitude been bested by the sounds of nightly fireworks, months without Orioles baseball, and flashbacks to the trauma of childhood trips to see the Capitol Steps? Only one way to find out...(by listening to the episode, in case that was too cryptic for you.)

Mikael Johnson returns from the grave and we record live together for the first time in three months. I'll miss the freedom to go to the bathroom during a recording that recording online afforded, but you're worth it (lol, no you're not).

Our first podcast after so very much news took place. Protests, pandemic, movie references, the "I Take Responsibility" video, and my massive donation to the cause. I think that about covers the episode. (I also think I said it was Virginia Madsen in Ace Ventura, not Sean Young. Probably not the worst thing I said this episode, but it should be noted, nonetheless, as I've thought about it every day since recording. Because I have nothing better to obsessively focus upon.)

I swear we aren't a pack of un-woke gargoyles: The reason this episode fails to touch on peaceful protests, police brutality, and all those other incredibly important events of the last week or so is because we recorded this thing like 10 days ago and I've just been too lazy to upload it until now. Not malicious, just lazy...the Papageorgiou way.

We were originally going to have fellow podcaster Brianna Hunter on the show, but she had to put together a packet and had to reschedule. However, she had mentioned something about Joe Rogan being an "alpha male" in some Twitter post. Which made us debate who's more alpha...and then we got onto the topic in today's title.
