Just two guys, and they're having a good time, having a good time, having a good time...

That's right, it's Vince and Joey Avery one-on-one in the Frotquarters this week, just like our apartment in San Francisco so many years ago. We're celebrating the kickoff of NFL season by discussing our favorite gridiron stories of the past couple weeks, from the fake 49ers receiver who thought he could trick everyone by just wearing a helmet everywhere, to the substation conspiracy, to Jed York soliciting prostitutes. Oh yeah, and DK Metcalf's new thoughts on a secret civilization living inside a hollow Earth... beneath Antarctica or something? I dunno, man.

My hypothesis: if you see a football player with "creative" eye black, there's an 85% chance that guy also has some kooky theories. Take that one to the bank.

But before we get to all that, Joey and I belatedly realize that we both recently joined the dead dads club. I purposely avoided a lot of trauma but not going through my dad's stuff in too meticulous of detail, but Joey unfortunately was not so lucky. This is all covered Joey's last stand-up special, so be sure to check that out.

Oh, and were you in the market for some breaking news? Because it turns out ol' Joey has joined the cast of Bad Monkey S2. I swear I didn't know that until he said it, and certainly not when I was writing nice reviews of Bad Monkey S1. Let the record show that the Frotcast has an incredible knack for catching stars on their way up. All while we continue to fail to the middle.

If you're sad about Matt and Brendan missing their second weeks in a row, feel free to send them an outraged email. Matt was flying back from Portland and Brendan found out he had to go to court an hour before showtime, so there wasn't much I could do. I'm convinced that they also somehow sabotaged Joey's internet connection. I was exhausted from driving all night and morning, but you don't see me skipping shows, do you huh huh??? Anyway, I did my best to pull something together even with the universe conspiring against me.

The whole gang should be back next week. In the meantime, go see Joey do comedy.
