Because I'm in the shape you'd assume of a guy who spends most of his life glued to the Internet, a recent trip to the gym ended with me tearing a muscle, which, in turn, resulted in a visit to the ER. Normally, the $2,…

I'm going to come right out and say it: Nirvana's Nevermind is the most overrated album released in my lifetime. Cry all you want to the contrary, but it just makes you sound like an even bigger fool. On the 20th anniversary of its release,…

Since I love being weeks late to everyone's topicality party, it's time to move on to the talk of the Internet circa late-August, the bitchy column Gizmodo intern Alyssa Bereznak wrote about her date with Jon Finkel,…

Let's be honest: People are idiots in the face anything Mother Nature throws at them. And the people of the DC area are bigger idiots than most when it comes to the subject. Forget snow, we can't even handle the rain. Seriously,…

This might be hard to believe, given my Platonically ideal physique and my mind-boggling, go-getter energy levels, but a large portion of my childhood was spent in front of the television watching cartoons. Good or bad, I didn't care.…

Those that listen to my show know that the pomposity of celebrities is a favorite target on mine. Yes, I understand that greedy, morally-bankrupt pillars of industry are the real villains, and some twat prattling on about how yogarobics gave her the be...…

Look. By all accounts, George Clooney seems like a cool guy. A man's man, if you will. But the perfection of his life is really starting to get to me. The guy's internationally famous, great looking (and in that way where it somehow makes you straighte...…

Even though every minute I look at it withers the already-infinitesimal odds I ever enter into a normal relationship…I enjoy me some porn. Which would have been an edgy admission 40 years ago when that meant going to a theater and blowing a furtive …

I have to admit, I’m not the most politically aware guy. I find sports and entertainment news far more interesting, and what political information I do encounter is usually fed to me secondhand by Opie & Anthony or stumbled upon as I wake up on…

So you’re taking a jab at a beloved American icon and the title is a reference to an obscure horror film you and three other people have seen. Way to win over an audience, Papageorgiou. The gang and I discuss the (possibly overhyped) legacy of Steve…

The gang discusses their Halloween adventures in Richmond, containing such incidents as a trip to goth/fetish club, practically banging a girl in front of her fiancee and the sighing of several women large enough to make Tracy Morgan‘s heart skip a …

Given my personality, it was only a matter of time before I scared away the rest of the Papa’s Basement crew and was forced to do a show alone. The experience, albeit somewhat rocky, left me with a newfound appreciation for guys like Bill Rohland, G…

Things start with me screaming ’til I lose my voice about the disrespectful c-u-next-Tuesday I had on my show two weeks ago. My bile sufficiently vented, I turn my attention to The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn and ask my co-hostess what the Hell wom…

I’ve been utterly fascinated with the Duggar family ever since they appeared on my radar a few days ago for snapping photos of themselves fondling their miscarried child. (“Fondle” doesn’t necessarily have a sexual connotation. I f…

Enjoy another solo episode, where I cover such varied topics as saying goodbye to a really fun job, my take on the Tim Tebow phenomenon, why Lindsay Lohan’s breasts in Playboy (link NSFW) were awesome and why I can’t get enough of Jessica Simp…

99 times out of 100, a celebrity dies and I could care less. So why do I find the death of Patrice O’Neal, the most brilliant comedic mind of our generation, so damn depressing? Listen to find out and mourn the passing of a comedy god. (What a way t…

The strip club is a favorite topic on Papa’s Basement. There’s this episode we did after a visit to West Virginia’s Vixens, the home to many a broken girl’s shattered dream. And this article about a visit to Vegas’ Hustler Cl…
