Burt Reynolds passed away, prompting me to explain definitively, once and for all, where you go after you die. You’re welcome, theology. And you’re welcome, America. Bill Rohland guest stars. John Papageorgiou – @PapasBasement Bill Rohland – @BillRohland If you truly love the show and realize money is the only […]
After a nine-month hiatus from stand-up comedy, following revelations that he jerked off near and/or via phone with several female co-workers, Louis CK returned to the stage of the Comedy Cellar to perform a 15-minute set. Was this too soon? Not soon enough? It’s a complex issue, and emotions run […]
I’ve never been to the hippie desert free-for-all Burning Man, and I don’t think that will change anytime soon. While the art, attitude and copious nudity all sound fantastic, I enjoy showers and dressing my cats every morning in American Girl doll clothing too much to spend a week in […]
Fan (and free clinic) favorite Pete Maybe is back! Hear all about his adventures since he was last on the show (including not wearing a shirt since April 24th), working at some paying theater gigs (they ARE out there, acting folks) and tips for “living your best life” (his euphemism […]
Sven Lloyd, a DC-area radio personality and comedian, is kind enough to come on and share war stories from his time on Grindr, Growlr, Scruff. As a straight dude who knew of none of this stuff, I can honestly say I was traumatized and delighted in equal measure. You will […]

Forgive the delay in episodes: We honestly don’t know where Travis Dorward is and if he’s alive or dead. But, the show must go on. A revitalzed me, possibly the least-depressed I’ve been in years faces a quandry: What the hell do I do with my life now that I’m […]
Chris Hardwick is an annoying comedian who launched a podcast empire (I’m not jealous) and also spends (well, spent) a lot of time on TV (again, “not jealous,” said the man through clenched teeth). Over the weekend, he was accused of his ex, Chloe Dykstra, of some unsavory behavior in […]
I realize the title makes it sound like Shawn Westfall was there, watching Anthony Bourdain at the end…AND THAT WAS MY INTENT (no, it wasn’t). Mr. Westfall, who runs DC’s Unified Scene Theater talks with me about Anthony Bourdain’s suicide and why it shouldn’t come as a shock that a […]
