Keira Knightley released a topless photo untouched by Photoshop to show that she isn’t perfect and make a case for all women to love their bodies. My co-host Howard and I argue about whether or not she actually managed to accomplish that, with me taking the stance that a naked […]
Wayne Static, frontman of Static-X and singer of this truly catchy masterpiece, died over the weekend. I’m going to go out on a limb and assume it had something to do with drugs. We use the news to talk about my own issues that will probably take me a little […]
I understand that I have five listeners and four of them already listen to Papa’s Football Podcast. But to the one that doesn’t (I’m looking at you, Steve), why aren’t you enjoying the funniest sports show out there dedicated to the most glorious sport ever known to man? This week […]
