Papa's Basement

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 finally sent to a nursing home. Please share this if you listen to it and like it, and reach out to me and Mollie. PLEASE!!!

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.

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 attention. VALIDATE US WITH YOUR APPROVAL!!!

John is out of the house and watching his friend's sickly dork of a cat. Hear all about it!

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.

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.

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).

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.

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.
