In the wake of a presidential election that left both sides feeling drained and shocked, it can be difficult making sense of what happened. Feelings to sort out. New realities to adjust to. Futures to brace for. Presented with as little partisanship as possible is the latest episode of Papa’s […]
The only thing that makes this episode an “election day special” is that I was too goddamn busy to post it until election day. We actually bitch about the unofficial hipster man Halloween costume (you get a point if you can name it before you listen to the episode) and […]
Over the weekend, tape leaked of Donald Trump bragging to innocent eunuch Billy Bush that he would walk up to women and grab them by the pussy. And, to be honest, I hated it. Not because I’m a good human being, but fuck him for being born with a silver […]
