The Internet’s feel-good story of the week, bullied Brandon Jones being embraced by the online community, took its inevitable nosedive when it was revealed Brandon’s parents had white power ties. We give you the details that have come to light because, if we can’t celebrate the 48-hour rise and fall […]
Mere days after being harassed on Twitter for a Tweet that some people deemed homophobic, August Ames, a young, beautiful adult star, took her own life. It’s a tragedy on countless levels, all of which we explore on the latest episode of the Papa’s Basement Show. On top of that, […]
Fans of the show are well aware of the saga that played out with Chris Lingebach a few months ago (you can catch up with everything here). Well, comedian Brendan Cooney, a mutual friend, snuck Chris in studio for an attempt at on-air reconciliation. What follows is 90 minutes of […]
