Hulk Hogan Says The Magic Word — Papa’s Basement 459
This past Friday, the world awoke to find every mention of Hulk Hogan, the man who put the WWF (I refuse to say WWE) on the map, scrubbed from the […]
Ronda Rousey is a titan in the world of MMA. Unquestionably the sport’s greatest female fighter and, from the outside, what appears to be its greatest draw, her latest victory over Brazilian fighter Bethe Correia has catapulted her name yet again to the front page of Internet news.
To those of us who don’t give a shit about MMA, however, the debate around Ronda isn’t a particularly nuanced one about the marvel of Rousey’s technique or her amazing record. Nope. In fact, I think it is a debate that heterosexual males have when it comes to literally any woman. If you need a further hint, it rhymes with “would I like to stick my Rick in her?” My co-hostess Eva (who is, admittedly, not a man) and I make the case for and against. I don’t want to exaggerate the power of our debate, but, after you hear the segment, I guarantee your reaction to be along the lines of this.
Which isn’t to say the rest of the episode is as rife with girl power and feminist subtexts as that segment. We also cover the murder of Cecil the Lion by a Minnesota dentist and why the allure of game hunting is quite possibly the only act the appeal of which alludes me, Jared Fogle of Subway fame apparently having sex with a 16-year-old (see the earlier part of this sentence), and cover the 2015 Papa’s Basement nominee for Saddest News Story With a Huge Laugh. That last one might be worth the price of episode admission alone (though feel free to argue that point via Twitter with me as you declare that the entire episode was gold and that I still look young and pretty and thin enough to fit into my prom dress, too). Oh, and we didn’t forget the death of “Rowdy” Roddy Piper. God bless that man.
