Nothing Fits Both Sides of Woman Better Than Podcast

You wanted it, and you got it, and it’s better than they said. It’s the latest episode of MYAM with writer and TrueAnon podcast host Liz Franczak joining Matt & Vince to talk about Mad Men season two episode six, “Maidenform.”

A new campaign for Playtex has all the boys excluding Peggy to talk about what types of women there are, and how they correlate to bras and public figures. This culminates with Peggy dressing like a harlot and sitting on some dude’s lap, but in a cool, empowering way, probably. 

While the men of Sterling Cooper are talking about cups and straps and first ladies and whatnot, Don learns that the women of New York are talking about what he can make that dick do. Bobbie informs him he has a reputation as a good sex-haver. Sounds cool to me, but it makes Don wanna put his tender heart in a blender and watch it spin around to a beautiful oblivion, so he ties her to the bedpoooooost.

Welcome to another episode of The Frotcast, where we got more jokes than Elon’s got babies! We also got more jokes than Elon’s got jokes, according to Miles Klee (former Frotcast guest!) and three other Rolling Stone reporters. It sounds like his act is wearing thin and he needs some new material, or else he’s gonna get the ol’ hook (probably by Steven Miller, who will put him on the next plane to El Salvador, he typed hopefully). While it may not exactly be shocking to hear that Elon is deeply unfunny and annoying, it truly boggles the mind to imagine hanging around the mutant convention that is a Trump cabinet meeting and being THE ANNOYING ONE.

But first, Brendan correctly clocks Mark McGrath as being from Orange County solely by watching how he acts when threatening to kick someone’s ass, and gets called racist by Matt for his troubles/sheer genius.

Next up, are you too busy to tell your parents you’re too busy to call them? Then do we have a cutting edge AI solution for you! Well, that’s pretty much it. It calls your parents, doesn’t even pretend to be you, then chats with them in an incredibly stilted fashion, ostensibly so they’ll kill themselves and you can get your inheritance faster? It’s unclear tbh. Surely all of this AI that is being forced on consumers that works worse than whatever it replaced and has unclear utility and addressable market will be a strong counterbalance to the chaos the tariffs are bringing, he once again typed hopefully.

We round things out by listening to a self-proclaimed British aristocrat, who is basically Matt’s Bri’ish accent personified. It’s almost as eerie as listening to an AI designed to talk to lonely old people, but not quite. That’s a high bar to clear though, this bloke’s accent is bone-chilling. Is he posh? Is he cockney? Is he on the chube? Is he a barrister? Is there bread pie now????

Pick a Pod and Become the Person Who Casts it

Tell your husband you're at a fat farm and throw on this week’s pod with host of the Dopey Podcast, Dave Mannheim, joining Matt and Vince to talk about Mad Men season two episode five, “The New Girl”

The titular new girl could be any number of girls. Bobbie Barrett is Don’s new girl on the side, Jane is the new girl on Don’s desk, engaged Joan is a new girl celebrating (relatively) young love, Peggy feels like a new girl after asserting her place as Don’s peer, and Pete finds out his seed is strong enough to potentially produce a new girl.

Don might have a new girl but he’s the same old mad man. He’s driving drunk with a mistress he sort of hates when he crashes his car so bad he has to call Peggy to bail him out and hide his sidepiece at her apartment until the bruises heal. If anybody asks, it was the blood pressure medicine that caused the accident, not the booze. Feel free to try that as an excuse the next time you do something dumb when you’re drunk.

The boys are back, and if the boys wanna talk tariffs you’d better let ‘em. First we check in on the status of Matt’s ten shares of Yahoo before we break the news that Trump blinked on his economic master plan. Then we make some ass eating jokes. What podcast is this, Planet FUNNY??? Oh brother!!!!!

We take an ol’ ear gander at the new Kanye banger. Let’s just say you will nazi where he’s going with this one! 

The newly radicalized Frotbois then talk about the big White Lotus finale. Furtive glances, unaired grievances, tasteful B-roll shots, ominously foreshadowed events occurring…this one’s got it all! We agree that Walton Goggins rules,Carrie Coon rules, and we would watch an entire show about Parker Posey as a pilled-out idle rich lady. 

To round things out, Matt gets personal by talking about the feud between his dick and balls that is TEARING HIS GOOCH APART.

-Description by Brendan.

This week on the Frotcast, we welcome to the show Nick Stargu, aka DJ Real, and Joey Devine from the Roundball Rock podcast to discuss all the news of the week, from Matt Lieb's beef with a YouTuber who is trying to get him fired, to his wife Francesca's beef with a different YouTuber who fired her. Jesus, is there ANYONE in that house that a YouTuber hasn't recorded an angry 30-minute video about???

After that, we get into this week's main discussion topic, the 2021 musical, Dear Evan Hansen. But first! We explain WHY we decided to discuss Dear Evan Hansen, which involves the Snow White movie bombing, a Variety hit piece about Snow White star Rachel Zegler, and an anecdote about Snow White producer Marc Platt "leaving his family" to fly across the country to convince her to take down a tweet saying "Free Palestine."

All the while, Nick keeps showing Matt his own text message saying "I promise we won't talk about Israel."

That same Marc Platt happens to be the producer of Dear Evan Hansen, starring his son, Ben Platt. It's a strange film, and Matt was put off, as many reviewers were, by the sight of a 27-year-old playing a high schooler. Personally I was fine with his age, it was his styling and above all his haircut that I couldn't get past. You cannot put that haircut on a teenager, let alone a grown man.

Anyway, you get why we're discussing Dear Evan Hansen now. Give it a listen and maybe even a share, just make sure to take your SSRIs.

Bless Me Horny Father For I Have Chased

Shel Keneely is out, but political commentator and co-host of the Majority Report, Emma Vigeland, is in. She joins Matt & Vince to talk about Mad Men season two episode four “Three Sundays.”

Don and the gang are chasing American Airlines, even coming in on Good Friday in their casual wear to workshop a pitch that doesn’t remind everyone of the horrible plane crash. While they’re all hard at work, Sally is drinking her dad’s booze, chasing that perfect feeling you only get from the right amount of rye. 

There’s also a new horny priest in town, and he’s maybe chasing Peggy? Colin Hanks is the new holy man in the Olsen family’s life, and as Emma points out, him and Peggy have sort of a Father Intentola/ Carmella Soprano will they/won’t they thing going on. He never brings Peggy any DVDS to watch, but he also doesn’t bust in his pants in her living room. So it’s a toss-up for best horny priest in Pod Yourself history.

Grab ‘em by the Utzy

Wash that mistress stink off your hand and listen to this week’s pod with author and co-host of Bad Hasbara podcast, Daniel Maté joining Matt and Vince to talk about Mad Men season two episode three, “The Benefactor.”

RIP Jimmy Barrett, you would have loved posting crowdwork clips. During a commercial shoot for an Utz chips campaign, the comedian hired by Sterling Cooper goes full Friar’s Club mode on the Utz CEO’s unsuspecting wife. Don has to clean up Jimmy’s mess, but gets back at him by going third base mode on Jimmy’s wife. 

Back at the office, Harry learns “that mannequin” Cosgrove is has a higher salary, setting off a chain of events that involves a desperate search for an envelope with a window, a call to his wife, a bitch session with Salvatore, and ends with a raise and  a new position as the head of the new Sterling Cooper television department.

In case you missed the news, Biff Wiff, a character actor and professional Santa Claus probably best known from his Detective Crashmore and Shirt Brother sketches on I Think You Should Leave, died last month after battling cancer for a few years prior. Wiff, born Gary Crotty (though he told me no one called him that except for his mother and the police) got his name while performing in a song parody troupe in San Diego. Yes, he was what you would call "a character."

He would go on to memorable cameos in Dave, Everything Everywhere, and Brooklyn 99, but in 2021 he was just becoming a phenomenon. I was obsessed with the Detective Crashmore sketch and so I reached out, Biff said yes pretty quickly, and it turned out that this was his first ever interview about his acting career. I've interviewed tons of people over the course of my career, including childhood heroes (Jack Black, Joe Montana) and half the cast of this season of White Lotus. Biff still stands out as one of the most enjoyable talks I've ever had. I didn't even remember I still had the audio until I was looking for a different file the other day and saw this one. Now that it feels like a genuine historical artifact, I couldn't just keep it to myself.

Relistening to it put a big smile on my face, and I hope it puts one on yours. Biff wasn't just a brilliant actor, a funny guy, and a total character, I also got the sense that he was a genuinely sweet person. Hearing him ask about ME at the end of the interview, and seem like he did it because he was genuinely curious, touched me deeply. I can't pretend to have known him well enough to say "that was Biff," but it certainly sums up the impression he left on me. What a cool guy. RIP, Biff Wiff.

Jamaican Me Dad Die

Don’t think about the president gutting the FAA, just listen to the latest edition of MYAM with Comedian and co-host of the Roundball Rock podcast, Sean Keane joining Matt and Vince to discuss Mad Men season two episode two, “Flight 1.”

RIPete’s dad. In this episode, the Campbell paterfamilias dies in the American Airlines plane crash that everyone in the Sterling Cooper office is joking about. The tragic aviation accident that killed one of their peers is not just laughing matter to these mad men, no, it’s also a business opportunity. Duck thinks American Airlines might want to make some new ads. You know, some print ads that draw attention away from the 95 bodies at the bottom of Jamaica Bay, and towards the skirts on the stewardesses. 

Meanwhile, Paul and Joan get in a fight because Paul is a phony and Joan is both racist and 31. Paul puts her on blast by revealing her age to everyone in the office, because in 1960s America it was much worse to be a 31-year-old woman than to be racist. Don’t think about which is more socially acceptable in 2025 America. Just focus on the pod.

We’re back after a week off spent celebrating the joys of homeownership. The American Dream baby! 

The real reason we’re here is because it’s Martin March (Mart Madness?)! Today we discuss 1997’s Nothing To Lose, a classic buddy crime caper that we all forgot existed. Tim Robbins co-stars as the stuffy white foil to Martin’s zany brand of 90s “urban” antics. I hope we’re not starting to sound repetitive here, but this movie starring Martin Lawrence is both not great and eminently watchable. Top shelf TNT banger, this one. Also, Brendan calls Giancarlo Esposito “Giancarlo Stanton”.

Snow White premiered this week, and because Matt Lieb is on the show he has to make it alllllll about Israel. He even goes on to make it about himself by reading a death threat he received on X. Anyway, Disney finds themselves sitting on a box office dud while standing astride two angry mobs like Larry David at the Palestinian Chicken restaurant. In fact, there are at least three angry mobs, what with the Nazis being angry about the Snow White actress being half Colombian and probably some other exhausting bullshit.

We also break down Airport Theory, which posits: show up 15 minutes before your flight and still make it. Why, that doesn’t sound like a theory at all! Shouldn’t a theory be an explanation of  something, backed by empirical data? Not if you’re a TikTok dipshit! Anyway, for a good time, search Airport Theory on TikTok to laugh at all the people who missed their flights. This leads to discussions of other theories dumb guys made up during the pandemic. 

I have a theory that this post is over.

-Description by Brendan

It’s frot time motherfuckers, and that means we’re gonna recycle some jokes that we made a few months ago about holding space for Defying Gravity. We identified pretty quickly that we’d covered this, which means… we just keep riffing anyway. You knew what this was when you signed up for it, OK?

More importantly, we discuss Hollywood’s biggest night; the glitz, the glamour, the impossibly grandiose speeches, that’s right folks, we have an outbreak of Measles! People forget, Oscar Fever and Measles have similar symptoms. Our secretary of health and human services recommends drinking bleach, which is what watching the Oscars made me want to do anyway. Heyoo!

A Palestinian won an Oscar, and everybody’s mad I guess. Hey, an Israeli won too! Why are you still mad?! Don’t boo me, boo your elected officials!!!

On the positive side, Conan rules and we got some vintage 90s Sandler voice, complete with gibberish. Chalamet! Zoe Saldana had the best speech of the night with her authentic expression of overwhelming joy, and Adrien Brody had the worst with his authentic expression of overwhelming smugness. It’s not great when Night Ranger is playing you off. 

You can fast forward the first few minutes unless you need potty training advice. You’re welcome!

It’s Frotcast 623 and we’re back to serenade you with our favorite ass-eating parody songs. Let’s see you pull that off, Weird Al! Catch us on tour this year as Weird A(ni)l(ingus).

Mr Beast. What’s his whole deal? How is he so popular? Why is his face like that? Does he have Bell’s Palsy? Stay tuned to hear the answers to none of these questions.

If you are looking for answers though, you’ll love to hear our discussion of The Curious Case of Bam Margera. It turns out that the case isn’t so curious, he’s just a raging alcoholic who desperately needs help. Guess we can close the book on that one! Watch out for the thick PA accent though, it can really get you if you’re not expecting to hear it.

Finally, we dive into an actual curious case, the native New Yorker who got catfished into flying to Pakistan, then instead of IRL deleting her account, she IRL posted through it and is now demanding a stipend from the Pakistani government despite it appearing that most Pakistanis would just prefer she leaves. So many questions, so few answers. Look, if you liked podcasts with answers, you’d be listening to PJ Vogt doing a sped-up Butthead laugh right now, okay?

Oh, and necessary shoutout to Nick Lutsko's absolute banger of a Dan Bongino song.

Joey Devine from Roundball rock joins the Frot to discuss Captain America: Brave New World, one of the weirdest movies either of us have ever seen. It's hard to get Brendan and Matt to watch movies anymore, but that's why I have friends who don't have kids!

Anyway, Marvel movies. They suck now. We haven't liked one in a long time. And yet we still see them. God knows why. Might as well, at this point! This one was a movie in which character are always discussing other, better, more-well-known characters who clearly had better things to do than be in this one. Why bring them up then! It makes no sense!

Joey and I try to make sense of what this movie was supposed to be like before the four reshoots, which scenes they clearly filmed before they actually knew what it was going to about, what characters would've made sense if we'd seen the Winter Soldier TV show, and the complicated geopolitics of it all. Why are the four countries battling for control of the adamantium the US, India, France, and Japan? How did Bucky Barnes end up running for Senate? Didn't he kill Iron Man's parents? And how exactly did World War II end in this universe? Also why is one of the characters an Israeli little person?

If you have answers to any of these questions please slide into the comments, we're genuinely curious.

This week, comedian/haberdasher Jason Webb joins the Frotboiz to discuss natural disasters, Trump, and why he doesn’t trust his crawl space. Matt shares the riveting tale of a periwinkle blue corduroy hat he wore this one time.

Next up, Elon Musk is ruining all the potential whimsy of a second Trump administration. If there’s one thing the public has been clamoring for, it’s to let the senile mummies in charge of our country cook!

We also listen to a clip of Trump finally realizing his true calling of becoming a catty Broadway producer via a hostile government takeover of the Kennedy Center. BOFFO BARRON BLOWS UP BOND MARKET!

Finally, we wrap up with a discussion of this week’s shocking Jew-on-Jew crime in Florida. This antisemitism stuff has gone too far!!! At least we can take solace in the fact that neither perpetrator nor victim will learn a single fucking thing from all this.

I did a big write up for Defector recently about California water, wildfires, The Resnicks, Yasha Levine's 'Pistachio Wars,' and the Central Valley, where I grew up and live. I had a great long chat with Levine for the piece, and only a handful of quotes actually made it into the article. Luckily, through the magic of recording equipment, I actually saved the whole thing so that I could share it with you here. We talk about water rights, the Resnicks and how they got started (owners of The Wonderful Company; mostly pistachios and pomegranate juice), California's "terra forming" system, how the Iranian Revolution impacted the American pistachio market, and much, much more.

Make sure to listen to this and see 'Pistachio Wars' so that you can tell DemocRAT Gavin NewSCUM to stop hoarding all of Central California's beautiful water, and release it so we can all grow more delicious pistachios, which definitely taste better when good old fashioned Americans grow them instead of those evil Iranians.

NOTE: Sorry about the earlier audio snafu. It sounds mostly good now. Eat.

Welcome to the Frotcast, where we weave together epic multi-episode plot arcs about modern technology kicking our asses, like Matt’s car and Brendan’s shitty internet connection. On top of all that, Brendan forgot to record his own track so his internet problems become everyone’s internet problems! It’s all good, we’re doing this punk rock style. That’s right, Vinny Shite, Brendan Bollocks, and Joey Psoriasis are here to give Margaret Thatcher and the Tories the what for! Up the punks! Free the Falklands! I think this is infected innit!

Fresh off the Super Bowl, we discuss Kendrick Lamar handing Drake the largest L in the history of music (he made Mozart-Salieri look like the Gallagher brothers), and how it nearly defies the law of physics to achieve that in a medium where one or more beefers typically ends up dead. 

Oh yeah there was a game too, which provided a bountiful harvest for haters. Even without the end in much doubt for most of the second half, there was still so much to savor as the clock ticked down. Plus a white boy DB touchdown? We are so back. 

Everyone's favorite, comedian Jessica Sele is back in the Frotquarters this week. And BOY do we have a lot to talk about! Donald Trump is fighting the fires that burned down Matt's sister's house by sending lots of water to Vince's neighbors in the Central Valley for some reason! How does that work? Probably not well!

We also talked about the Grammys, what with Kanye West's naked girlfriend and Jaden Smith wearing a house on his head. Grrr, music! Otherwise, it was actually a great show and Jessica loved it. Our heartfelt congratulations to Beyonce.

Current events come up a few times but honestly we're all kind of burned out with it all so we end up talking about how Matt gets horny about people stuck in storm drains and Jessica inspiring a poet's epiphany about finally meeting a woman he didn't want to have sex with. Good times!

frotcast@gmail.com, 415 275 0030, buy Jessica's album!

This week on the Frot, we welcome comedian, film enthusiast, and host of Wrong!, Jay Light. It's a good thing he's here, because your old buddy Matt Lieb has some stories he needs to tell someone. Specifically the story of the crazy lady on his block who was going door to door in his neighborhood yelling "PAUL!" which turned out to be the name of a guy she thought had stolen her cat.

We discuss our Trump clip of the week, in which Trump has been convinced by someone that the US was spending $50 million on condoms to give to Gaza, which were inevitably going to end up in the hands of Hamas, who would then use them to make bombs. It's a fun game of telephone trying to figure out what Trump misheard from what person that led him to whatever dumbass thing he happens to be saying at any given time. The next four years are going to be like working for Elon Musk, which is to say an idiotic, degrading tragicomedy orchestrated by the world's most divorced man.

After that we have our Maury clip of the week, which this time involves a lady whose sex addict boyfriend stopped trying to have sex with her when he started working at Dunkin Donuts. Didn't even matter what lingerie she wore, and also maybe he drugged her? Crazy stuff. Then there's CVS trying to win their customers back by making them download an app for deodorant, and finally we break down all the films nominated at this year's Oscars. This is a film podcast, after all. Jay has seen way more movies than Matt, probably because Matt was busy returning neighborhood cats and hiding from his wife to order DoorDash.

No Brendan this week, because all his wiener kids got sick and he had to take care of them. Pray for him.

Mad Man House

Gareth Reynolds of The Dollop, Past Times and We’re Here to Help is here to help Matt & Vince process the season one finale of Mad Men, episode 13, “The Wheel.”

To paraphrase Vince’s off-the-dome episode synopsis: Peggy’s got a tummy ache so bad she has to give birth, Betty goes spy-mode on Don after Francine learns her husband is cheating, and Pete’s father-in-law really wants Pete to rawdog Trudy. On top of all that, Kodak has re-invented the wheel and needs Don to convince America to buy one. 

A new viewer, Gareth gets introduced to almost every important character, including Marten Holden Weiner’s Glen character. Glen might not know how long fifteen minutes is, but he knows how to capture the hearts of even the most jaded podcaster.

Fresh from the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, we welcome PR professional, tech shitposter, computer lover, and British Guy Ed Zitron. Ed brings us up to speed on what he saw there. We talk about the stagnation of the tech industry and why everything has to have AI in it, whether we want it or not. Spoiler alert: they’re probably out of ideas.

Double spoiler alert, you can’t fuck the robots. Yet. 

Ed also touches specifically on OpenAI, which is currently losing billions of dollars a year by making its lake-boiling plagiarism aggregator generate pics of bimbofied Squidward for bored thirteen year olds. Software is eating the world, indeed. 

We also pour out some Mountain Dew Game Fuel for the only good website, Google Reader. RIP to a real one.

We round things out by talking about Elon’s Nazi ahem ROMAN salute. Hey, can I talk to you for a minute? Thanks. Look, we all know what we saw. Feel free to disregard anyone else who tries to tell you otherwise. Personally, I’m going to ignore him because this is just teen edgelord shit, and the only thing teen edgelords enjoy more than a Nazi salute is watching people get upset about a Nazi salute. Sell your Tesla though for real.

Bye!
