I watched The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It and offer my thoughts on the entire Conjuring universe (for starters, women love these movies because they all want to have a threesome with Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmigia). And an incident late in the episode drives Eva and I to explore what a John Papageorgiou in an alternate timeline where his mom walked in on him pounding one out looks like.

Mikael and I discuss Zack Snyder's new Netflix flim, Army of the Dead. We also get into why all of Clint Eastwood's movies would be better with orangutans, especially a racist one for Gran Torino. *In this episode, I mistakenly asserted that actor Bill Duke was in the film 48 Hours. He was not, and I have taken my life in apology for this disgusting oversight. Give us your money via Patreon! Click here to listen to the latest episode of Papa's Basement in your browser.

We ponder the question: would you be sad if you learned the world were ending in a month? This might shock you, but I'd apparently be very okay with it.

A conversation about Elon Musk’s Mother’s Day SNL performance leads to Eva and I discuss ing the surprising, original impression I’d go with should I ever stand before Lorne Michaels for an audition.

DMX's untimely death leaves Eva, a drug treatment counselor, thinking she could have saved him had she just been there for him these last few years. Prince Philip also died, and he cheated a lot but it's okay because he was really tall. A reminder that you can't just snap a person's neck like they show in the movies (with that satisfying "crack" sound to accompany it). And a discussion of scenes cut from Forrest Gump, including how Jenny got AIDS, who really killed Bubba, and the many murders committed by Forrest in the name of his racist beliefs.

It's Mikael and Eva in my backyard to record an episode with topics as varied as what I would have done as a king during the days of prima nocte, Eva's incredible impression of Jennifer Tilly, Mikael's desire to give a man a cuckoo-bird cuckolding, the latest in the Thomas Middleditch saga, and why getting your nips pierced is good for the health.

Days away from my 40th birthday, I reflect on my life with a depth, clarity, and vulnerability I rarely offer. JK we discuss dating sites for men with acorn peens, Eva "Size Queen" Kriksciun losing her virginity at age 13 to adult entertainer Peter North, my ability to guess age/race/sexuality/class through hearing a voice alone via my love of stereotypes, and some incredibly disgusting things I used to do to my former college roommate.

Mikael Johnson joins me as we talk...well, I remember we talked the films of Adam Sandler. Ironically (or maybe not ironically, given the episode title), I don't recall a ton about this episode. Oh, yeah, we discussed our Valentine's Day plans as well. There. That's the episode.

Anand "Big Brown" Gahlot is a guy I met over a decade ago as we both operated DC-area podcasts and were attempting to get on-air. Yes, that’s how old we are: we did podcasts before podcasts were even a goal unto themselves (or even called podcasts), and were instead weird little episodic demos for radio jobs that you hosted on a website or burned to CDs that you then handed out to friends. He was always a nice, funny guy, and it was my joy to have him back on the show to talk about our common past, his former show, Big Brown and Burnsie, and his current podcast, Grape Friends. I forget what Grape Friends is about. Either he talks wine with friends or he plays God by granting grapes sentience and then befriends them. It's probably the first one, but I'm holding out hope it's the second. Click here to listen to the latest episode of Papa's Basement in your browser (and here to give us your money via Patreon).

Eva delights in my telling the story of how listening to Tony Robbins in my mid-20s set my life down an objectively horrible path. I also talk about how screwing around with our phones at all times has even ruined my ability to watch quality movies, and I now only stream films that I can comfortably watch half-assed while texting and browsing (e.g., my joyful viewing of Heartbreakers and All The Right Moves) this week. And what would an episode be without talking about your morning coffee followed by a nice caffeine-fuelled puh-poo?

It's snowing, which means I talk with Eva about why I hate snow (that's...that's what I do). I also discuss two folks I know via Twitter that have started OnlyFans accounts and me wrestling with my cheapness in deciding whether or not I wanted to see acquiantances naked, which is the best thing in life, and makes me feel like most people do about a snow day.

Happy New Year! In our first episode of the year, we close the episode with an amazing story of Mikael Johnson getting catfished by a child into driving out to a date that never happened not once BUT TWICE. It's an amazing story, and the rest of the episode is also fantastic, featuring: My autistic level of Metallica knowledge, a summary of what World War I-era plastic surgery looked like (check out War Against War!), and getting into the whole Jen Sterger/Brett Favre flaccid dong pics story with Eva, who has somehow NEVER RECEIVED A D PIC IN HER LIFE!

Snapping a nude to send someone used to mean something. Either you had to use a webcam, which snapped pics with the resolution of a Game Boy, or pull out a digital camera, take your photo, stick the SD card in your computer, and then email the nudes. What barbarism. We also talk the revelation that is DiGiorno's croissant crust pizza, and a local grocery chain by the name of Giant Food doing its best to not be the sketchy old craphole that it is.
