I’m going to get the bad news out of the way: This edition of Papa’s Basement, which, hopefully, heralds the arrival of a second episode each week, was recorded in the radio station’s “other” studio. What does that mean to you? Nothing…other than bad mics and acoustics so poor I […]
I finally saw and reviewed Precious . In terms of painting a flattering portrayal of black life, it makes The Birth of a Nation look like Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner. That said, it’s also got some of the biggest laughs I’ve ever enjoyed in a movie. I’m not even […]
The gang performs an hour-long cornholing of Jesse James, husband of Sandra Bullock and faux bad boy extraordinaire. (Ooh, tattoos and motorcycles. You rebel, you!) Sure, most of the time when a C-list celeb gets in trouble for screwing around on his wife I could care less, but: 1. Sandra […]

Yep, after all this time, I’ve finally got a disciple. Vinny sits in with regular co-hosts Joel and Veronica to learn the nuts and bolts of a radio show, and what a show it was! We discuss how we celebrated Valentine’s Day (eating the chocolates I purchased for my mom […]
It snowed? The hell you say! John and Joel discuss what they did while trapped at home and trying to avoid going batshit insane. (One of them played Wii non-stop, drank like an Irishman and got laid repeatedly. The other ate the hundreds of cookies his mother baked until he […]
The gang discusses a variety of current events, raging from the Haiti quake to the NFC-AFC championship games to the Conan O’Brien saga, as well as two subjects very near and dear to the heart of yours truly. In addition, there are two fantastic phone calls that, while not as […]
