Papa's Basement

I binged during Thanksgiving in a way that made me gain literally 10 lbs in the span of 24 hours. I'm still not sure how I'm alive. Eva also tells us what she cooked for the holiday, and I come up with the perfect analogy for what the horrendous dumps of the cat I'm watching smell like. Enjoy!

Mollie's quote serves as the name of our latest episode, where Mollie tells us about a mysteriously stench-filled closet in her new home, I talk about my dwindling options for both Halloween costumes and Halloween parties, and we somehow take a deep dive on various 1970s pop culture touchstones, from Paul Lynde to Kiss.

I summarize a very bad week that included: -My wallet being stolen and some identify theft for good measure -Almost getting run off the road by a crazed hick in a pickup because I drive a Prius -Performing an eviction where I barely avoided entombing an elderly cat in a house, and probably still wound up killing it indirectly.

The glorious Mollie Heckerling brings her Dear Abby best to answering a slew of questions I lob at her, ranging from social media unfollowing etiquette to standard jizz opacity to the IQ of Joey Lawrence and the rest of the Lawrence Brothers.

Eva and I celebrate all that is Sylvester Stallone by each doing our impression of the man as we celebrate his career. (We had no reason for this, it wasn't his birthday or anything. Just the joys of a podcast no one pays money for.) We also discuss the aftermath of my latest live improv comedy show, a new ADHD toy for me to play with, and how I spent a summer between 6th and 7th grade in a John's Hopkins basement teaching myself algebra out of a textbook courtesy of...Dr. Tripathi.

Let's Do This Shit!!!!!!!!!!!": The Marketing of "Passing on the Right", which chronicles how he got ripped off to the tune of several thousand dollars by a publicist that got him jack crap in the end.
