Remembering Orlando — Papa’s Basement 498

After all that happened in Orlando on Sunday at Pulse Nightclub, there wasn’t much else to talk about this week. Well, except for Christina Grimmie, a singer from the Voice, getting shot and killed in Orlando. And a toddler getting eaten by an alligator. In Orlando. Clearly, Orlando is Spanish for “Death-pit on an Indian burial ground the size of Shea Stadium.”

Co-host Pete Maybe and I spend 60 minutes talking about the situation in this country with regard to guns, mass shootings and terror. We don’t get preachy because it isn’t helpful, no one enjoys listening to it and we don’t know our asses from our elbows, anyhow. But I do hope you give the episode a chance, because whether you believe your guns should have their own guns with bullets made of even tinier guns or that the extent of weaponry one should legally own begins and ends with a nail file, we think no one will walk away from this episode butthurt. And, if you do, well…I’d tell you to grow the fuck up. But I really can’t afford to lose any listeners, so instead feel free to throw pies at my face and genitals as I dance the Charleston or do whatever else it takes to keep you around. -John

Thanks for listening and stay tuned for details about our upcoming 500th episode shindig. Tell everyone you know to listen to Papa’s Basement as we reach this sub-monumental podcasting achievement. They’ll thank you for this. And if they don’t, then once again have them direct their anger towards John. He’s built for that shit. -Pete
