Papa's Basement

Yes, by law, Mollie and I discuss Chris Rock getting slapped by Will Smith. But I also cover a bunch of random things that happened to me since I last did an episode with Mollie, including getting a lady cop (the technical term) locked out of her vehicle into her car, an extremely embarrassing (but on-brand) moment at the gym, and realizing I might finally be thin enough to be worthy of attention because a gay man complimented my beard.

Eva’s back! In podcast host form! We discuss such important topics as Eva’s baby bragging to the other babies that his mom has kept it TIGHT, me descending into full basic bitch-dom with my recent purchases of a massage gun and a copy of The Body Keeps The Score, and I close things by educating Eva about one of the most disturbing scenes in movie history, courtesy of Midnight Express.

We are actually recording videos of the podcasts now and uploading them to YouTube! So that's a thing! Mollie Heckerling and I also discuss the Ukraine situation, focusing on Louis C.K.'s trip over there (to presumably masturbate in front of Putin to neutralize the target), as well as the ageless caucasoid beauty of Vanna White.

Eva Kriksciun returns as I reveal mini-mental breakdown led me to quit all of my improv-related activities and binge watch Euphoria as I watch my friend's cat. Is that a step in the right direction? Or am I in a bad, bad place? Gotta listen to find out!

John talks about making a Hinge profile, Mollie talks about what she's most proud of after having her kids (it's not what you think), and we discuss the disgusting urban legend (which I choose to wholeheartedly believe) surrounding Hollywood legend Danny Thomas and glass coffee tables.

After shamefully being bested a few years ago by the Clio Yogurt Bar, I throw my hat back in the ring to see if I can master my old foe. Mollie Heckerling and I also discuss how my body is falling apart like an old G.I. Joe toy tugged apart at the limbs despite my recent attempts at fitness.

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.

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.

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 back in town for the holidays, and I was lucky enough to get him on the show alongside Mikael. They're both as funny as ever, and I think you'll love ("and share?," said in my guiltiest Jewish mother voice) the episode. Also, the episode title will make zero sense unless you listen to it, so you kinda have to now?

Oh, and the photo is a shot-by-shot as Mikael surprised us with a massive, audible fart. I love cerebral comedy!

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 to find out! (Or Google, but where is the fun in that?)
