Although the second episode uploaded, this is the first episode I recorded with Will and Mikael. I remember nothing about it other than we recorded kinda late, and thus were tired, and also had just met, meaning there was zero chemistry.

I’m overjoyed to return with a new episode after several months of hiatus, and it’s an absolute masterpiece (I say with total impartiality). My dear friend MJ and I talk about our struggles with depression, sobriety and the times we’ve fallen off the wagon spectacularly. I mean, you’ve been high, but have you ever been “I think I’m dead, but I’m going to call the paramedics on myself just to be sure” high? Well, MJ has, and he’s sharing the story of this hell trip and many more. Click here to listen to the latest episode of Papa’s Basement in your browser.

In light of the talk of Cillian Murphy’s starvation for Oppenheimer Mollie Heckerling and I talk about how stupid method acting weight gain/loss has been, and I share the highs and lows of watching my girlfriend’s cat for the week (low – I gave it an incorrect, massive dose of laxative and had to clean the aftermath).

Mollie Heckerling and I return to the mics long enough for me to declare that video games are soul-stealing drugs (that I’m totally addicted to), the perceived downsides of healing ones past traumas, the latest news of Jonah Hill’s ex outing him as a controlling weirdo, and how I walked an audience member at a recent comedy show. It’s a really good episode, and it’s really good to be back. Thank you to all of you that are still listening. But not those that aren’t anymore. No, you among those accursed ranks are dead to me.

I relay to Howard the story of my weekend in Ocean City, MD, filled with troubled trash, mediocre food (although I managed to eat 2 lbs of fudge in 48 hours), and drowning in the crowds of Cruisin’ Ocean City, a car event that made me feel even more than I usually do that this country is doomed.

Mollie is back on the pod as we discuss the new medical diagnosis that hinged on whether or not she urinated herself, as well as her striking with the WGA.

I binged during Thanksgiving in a way that made me gain literally 10 lbs in the span of 24 hours. I’m still not sure how I’m alive. Eva also tells us what she cooked for the holiday, and I come up with the perfect analogy for what the horrendous dumps of the cat I’m watching smell like. Enjoy!
