The last time we talked about “Papa John” Schnatter, he was breathing heavily and sweating profusely as he spoke in a bizarre, psychotic monotone voice about how he had just eaten 40 pizzas in 30 days (as the Bible foretold). Papa John was forced out of his pizza company a few years ago when he said the n-word on a conference call WITH crisis managers the company hired to make John seem less racist. I’m not sh-tting you. All of this really happened. Dude was dropping the n-word in crisis meetings about the company’s seemingly – or not so much – racist leanings. And he really did eat 40 pizzas in 30 days too.
So what is Papa John up to these days? I guess MTV wasn’t interested in him, so he shot his own “Cribs” style video showing off his Kentucky mansion/castle and he put it on TikTok. I can’t. Please enjoy.

So we only got to see his foyer? His giant, gaudy, tacky foyer with a sculpture-clock of two eagles f–king? Can you imagine going back to this guy’s house? He’s like “let me show you the foyer, here’s my eagle clock and yes they’re mating.” I’d be like “yeah, imma head out.” And what is with the fake lake edging up to his house? That seems like it’s not structurally sound. Apparently this mess costs $11 million and it’s the most expensive home in Louisville, KY.

I was hoping for a thread on this. The tweets were hilarious.
Man, he’s taking his fall really hard.
Too much money, too little sense…
Also too much face.
Tacky
Some plastic surgeon out there….did the Lord’s work on Papa. HA !!!!
Why have a library if you can’t read?
Ewwwwwwww I can’t.
A giant sculpture of two eagles mating… and no healthcare for his employees.
Yup. Just a reminder this guy went out hard against the ACA because it would cost him, like, an additional 14 cents a pizza.
And customers even communicated to the corporate office that they were will to pay it id if it meant healthcare for employees.
Did he lose all his brain cells, or has he always been this way? His house is tacky AF!
I can see how a person of a certain age would think that this is what a fancy house is supposed to look like. What’s throwing me off, more than the giant mating eagles, is the clash between this gaudy mess and his t-shirt and flip flops look. At least wear a bow tie 😛
This is amazing and exactly what I want his house to look like.
Reminds me of these giant mansions we have in CA in the middle of nowhere where they went all Greek with sculpture gardens and fountains and faux (or not??) giant marble columns in the front. But just like one, and then nothing for 5 miles until there’s a gas station/taqueria. Love them.
“imma head out”!!!! This has had me laughing so hard. Kaiser you are absolutely hilarious!!
Didn’t Papa John’s receive bailout money from the Trump administration? I seem to remember hearing something of the like on one of Seth Meyer’s A Closer Look segments quite recently.
There is something about his face that just creeps me out. I don’t know exactly what it is. His skin or no lips..the doughy texture. He is just so off putting to me.
