Matt is gone this week, but as Matt would say, “What’s in the news…” Gotta be something… Right?
Meanwhile, returning champion Laremy Legel joins us this week to discuss Spike Lee’s new joynt, Highest 2 Lowest. Don’t worry if you can’t remember the name, it’s extremely conspicuously dropped at the end.
But first, we have important stuff to talk about, like the AI podcast network that aims to release 3000 AI-generated episodes per week. Smarter people than Some argue it’s a scam in order to take advantage of programmatic ad sales, which basically means fake podcasts playing to fake listeners, generating real money. Others, however, say listening to an AI podcast is a legitimate usage of your precious time on earth. So who can say, really?
Next up, Jerry Seinfeld is back, this time at Duke with some spicy Israel takes. We, Frotcast LLC, will leave it to other, shittier podcasts like Pod Save America, The Daily, and Bad Hasbara to discuss the merits of his arguments, whereas Our position is “more like Dook”. Thank you for your attention to this matter!
We all watched Highest 2 Lowest and come to the consensus that it’s real bad. Thank you for your attention to this other matter!
If you don’t like what’s being said, put on this week’s episode of the podcast. We have host of the Finding My Audience podcast and comedian Allen Strickland Williams, whose album, Ran Through, is available now, joining Matt & Vince to talk about Mad Men season three episode two, “Love Among the Ruins.”
Limey Lane is settling into his new life in New York by taking his wife out to dinner with Don & Betty, but the Mrs. is still acclimating. She has some complaints about the bugs and the Africans. Have you noticed that these white people in the 60’s say a lot racist stuff?
At the office, Paul pisses everyone off by taking the Madison Square Garden account to task for tearing down Beaux-Arts masterpiece Pennsylvania Station. Like, okay Paul, where do you expect Jermey Lin to drop 38 on Kobe and induce a national case of Linsanity?
In the Draper household, a new roommate moves in when the family decides Betty’s dad can’t be trusted to take care of himself if he’s buying sandwiches for women who have left him. If the figurative lemon is witnessing a loved one's mind slowly decay, the lemonade is… an extra sandwich up for grabs?

Rejoice, piggies, it's new Frot day! Sean Keane from Roundball Rock is in the Frot seat this week to talk about (Borat Voice) BARI WEISS! Because this born snitch/hall monitor has ridden her pathological dearth of original thought straight to the top of CBS News, who just bought the Free Press for $200 million or something. Forget studying, kids, just find the nearest rich person and shamelessly kiss their ass.
After that, we catch up with Eat, Pray, Love author Elizabeth Gilbert who has written a banger of a new essay for The Cut ("the publication exclusively by and for people with personality disorders" -Brendan), which is actually an excerpt from her new book about how she latched onto a terminally ill friend and maybe got her back into heavy drug use and maybe ruined her life? Wild scene, but we stan any essayist who overshares.
Meanwhile, we're trying to figure out just what the hell must've happened during Rudy Giuliani's recent car accident for the cover story about it to be this confusing and bad. Did something really gross and strange go down, or does everyone involved just have the storytelling skills of Abe Simpson.
Finally, Matt and I watched 28 Years Later (or more accurately, I saw it months ago and Matt just got around to seeing it), and we try to tell what the hell it's about (spoilers included, but this is only the last 25 min of the pod). That ends with us trying to figure out the ending, which in turn leads us into a discussion of Jimmy Savile. I thought he was just a child molester, but apparently he was way worse! Uh... sleep tight!
Please don’t cut our dicks off and boil them in hog fat for taking a break between seasons. MYAM is back with Dave Schilling, author of Horror’s New Wave: 15 Years of Blumhouse, to help Matt and Vince kick off season three with episode one, “Out of Town.”
The Sterling Cooper offices are experiencing a British Invasion of their own after being purchased by Putnam, Powell, & Lowe. Meet Burt Peterson, head of accounts. Now forget him. He’s fired. The new head of accounts? Much to his delight, Pete Campbell. Much to Pete’s chagrin, Ken Cosgrove is also named head of accounts. Two blue-blooded waspy boys being asked to share? What is this, some kind of budget polo summer camp?
On a business trip to Baltimore to meet with London Fog, the hotel the fire alarm goes off the second a bellboy reaches into Sal’s pants, implying either God is punishing him, or hotels in the 60’s had gay alarms. In the ensuing evacuation, Don learns Sal’s big secret. He is chill about it, but you can tell he thinks it’s icky.

Comedian Sean Keane from Roundball Rock podcast guests this week! We open this week talking about Matt getting COVID on his Honeymoon or some dumb crap, but quickly segue into New York's famous Cuomo brothers, and how losing a primary to Zohran Mamdani has apparently broken their brains. Now they're mashing all the buttons at once, from "why don't you condemn Hamas" to "what if rich people benefit from universal social programs?" Following up on last week's Chris Cuomo-getting-fooled-by-an-AOC-deepfake-and-then-doubling-down incident, we talk about Chris' equally dim-witted brother Andrew, who is very proud of his father Mario and his grandmother (?) Andrea. Someone had to teach the Cuomo boys to be handsy.
After that we go deep into the truly WILD story of the two crypto guys who (with off-duty NYPD cops working as their bodyguards) who allegedly kidnapped an Italian guy and made him serve as their pledge while they played insane cokehead fratboy games and (allegedly) tortured him to reveal his crypto passwords. My favorite part of the article was when they moved into a giant replica of the White House in rural Kentucky where they would type messages to each other on typewriters and then burn them so no one could steal their secrets. Oh the things one can get into with millions of dollars and 24/7 access to cocaine. Here is what an Apocalypse Hellfire looks like, by the way. Subscribe on Patreon for more content!
Today we welcome a very special guest, formerly TV’s Andy Levy, currently Andy Levy of As the World Churns. You may remember him from such cable news shows as “The Scenario Annex” and “Fisticuffs!”. We start our movie podcast by discussing Andy’s hockey team, the New York Islanders. That’s right, we get into the nitty gritty of hockey strategy and deliver some “hard-hitting” (hockey pun) analysis. JK, we talk about the time they changed the uniforms to look like the Gorton’s Fisherman.
Next, we dive into the rich text which is Chris Cuomo falling for truly one of the shittiest deepfakes we’ve ever encountered, which naturally segues into a discussion of the Types Of Guy (gender neutral) who love to deploy the “How can you [engage in literally any other activity besides my pet cause] when [my pet cause]?” mad lib for people with severe lead and/or internet poisoning. As Cuomo sweatily doubles down, we are able to draw only one conclusion, that he is having a severe stroke. If you are near Chris Cuomo and are reading this, please close the tab and dial 911!
Finally, we all watched the Balloon Boy Netflix doc, aka Trainwreck: Balloon Boy. Actually, not all of us. But Brendan has seen enough of these that he knows the broad strokes (shots of computer screens googling things, local newscasts gradually layering on top of each other until they all say the name of the subject, recreated text message exchanges and social media posts, etc). Spoiler zone: the family that [ALLEGEDLY -ed.] used their young child for a cynical media hoax might be kinda shady!
Find Andy Levy anywhere you get information online, honestly whatever you creeps are up to when you’re not listening to us is none of our business.
Did you know Pedro Pascal gropes women to deal with his anxiety? If you were online at all in the past week or two, you might have noticed this narrative going around, or people making memes about it, or sharing supposedly damning video evidence of such a thing. Maybe involving Vanessa Kirby, or possibly Willem Dafoe's wife. And yet, when did Pedro Pascal ever actually say anything about anxiety? Who was making the accusations? The narrative didn't quite pass the smell test from the start, and as it turns out, that's probably because it seems to have been some kind of strange astroturfing campaign.
Kat Tenbarge wrote all about it in Spitfire News this week, and in this bonus podcast, I (Vince, that is) interview her all about the Pedro Pascal campaign, where it started, why it's happening, and what it tells us about bots, the slop internet, and why it's easier to manipulate celebrity news for bespoke political ends. In Pascal's case, it all seems to trace back to his trans sister and some rabid JK Rowling fans (though possibly also Bella Ramsey and The Last of Us).
Of course, the Pedro Pascal smear campaign is only the latest in a line of these odd, fake-grass-roots social media influence campaigns which seem to have no higher goal than to make you think that, say, Blake Lively is kind of a bitch or whatever. It's only when you dig a little deeper that you discover what seems to be the true motivation, like a messy legal battle between Lively and her former director. Something I actually got drawn into myself when a post of mine appeared to get artificially boosted, possibly as part of a larger influence campaign. Are these mini-viral moments just a way for reputation management firms to justify their paychecks, or is there actually legitimate damage being done?
And did this particular kind of shady reputation management begin with the Johnny Depp and Amber Heard trial, or does it go back even further? Even before Depp/Heard, why did writing about particular celebrities (Hugh Jackman, Tom Cruise, Kamala Harris) always seem to summon a flood of uncanny-seeming replies?
All this is Kat Tenbarge's particular beat, and she hangs around for a wide-ranging discussion of celebrity culture and niche smear campaigns.

Happy Gilmore 2 famously lives at the intersection of sports and movies, and incredibly, so do this week's guests, David J. Roth and Jeb Lund from It's Christmastown. They review Hallmark movies on their podcast, but this week they're taking a break from that to fill in for Matt and Brendan, who are on vacation with their dumb families, to discuss Adam Sandler's 30-years-later sequel, Happy Gilmore 2--a movie which, as I wrote in my review, feels exactly like a make-a-wish charity special for a terminally-ill 58-year-old. Or as David puts it, feels like a celebrity-packed Super Bowl commercial that just never ends. Those sound like knocks on it, but they kind of aren't. One of the best things about Happy Gilmore 2 is trying to imagine the strange celebrity encounter Adam Sandler had that produced each cameo.
That takes up most of the latter part of the pod, but before that, we discuss the way tech CEOs have ruined the design of most things, which naturally brings us to Elon Musk's new Tesla diner, where you can wait two hours in line to order "Epic Bacon" for $12, all while being glared at by the people who live nearby whose lives Elon has ruined. Then we digress into the Trump/Epstein scandal, and how, even if this probably won't result on Trump's supporters turning on him, it is weirdly gratifying to watch him be constantly on the defensive and clearly realize that he can't just riff his way out of this one. Fun times!

Welcome to a particularly elegiac (look it up) episode of the Frotcast, with this week’s guest James Fritz. First we discuss the untimely death of Malcolm-Jamal Warner, who unfortunately drowned in Costa Rica this past week. Next, we discuss the untimely death of Hulk Hogan, who suffered a heart attack the day we recorded. Finally, we discuss the untimely (in the other direction) death of Ozzy Osbourne, who has pretty much been on borrowed time since the early 80s and made it way farther than anyone realistically expected.
Vince and Brendan discover that apparently the Hulkster was a huge piece of shit. Sorry we’re not a wrestling podcast, I guess everyone else knew this intimately. We have a good time remembering his many outrageous lies, including his groundbreaking work in hustlebro culture by manipulating time and space to the tune of an extra 35 days in a year. You hear that Gary Vee? You ain’t got shit on The Hulkster, brotherrr!!! Other highlights include Brooke Hogan defying the laws of autotune, union-busting (not a wresting move), and the time he fucked his friend’s wife, said a racial slur, complained about diarrhea, then destroyed Gawker, in that order.
Vince, Matt and James all saw Superman, and it was fine. Unless you’re one of the insane people we talked about last week. We talk about how “fine” is pretty much the ceiling for superhero movies these days, and what a feat it would be to create one that any of us can remember within a few days of watching it. Vince desires a return of ugly people to the pictures. Please buy James Fritz’s new comedy album, Old Man Yells At Crowd, he really needs the money.
Welcome to a Vince-free podcast, Matt and Brendan have been saving up all their jokes for just such an occasion. Comedian Grant Gordon joins us to discuss woke Superman and an absolutely psychotic Hasbara response, a city councilman with a true poster’s heart, and Goldfinger (the band, not the movie…whaddaya think this is a movie podcast or something??).
But first! After years of campaigning on releasing the Epstein Files, Donald Trump is backing Pam Bondi in saying that there’s nothing to see here and we should all just move on. In true Trump fashion, he’s doing it in a way (rage-posting on Truth Social) that is only going to draw more attention and ask more questions about why he’s so upset. If there were ever a time to envision ol’ Donny not wriggling his way out of this one, this could be it. According to our fearless leader, the files don’t exist, and also do exist but are fake and were written by Obama and Biden and Rosie O’Donnell or something. A real Schrodinger’s CP stash.
We save the Superman talk for when Vince gets back, but Matt couldn’t resist reading a unabomber manifesto-level screed about how the new Superman movie is antisemitic and calling for the complete elimination of the state of Israel. Others said it was cool when the alien in underwear used his laser beam eyes, so reviews have been mixed to say the least.
Finally, we listen to the greatest hits of Eric Mays, a former Flint city councilman and one of the world’s great IRL trolls. If nothing else, this should brighten your day and give you the chance to hit your partner with a NO IM NOT PLAYIN ON MY PHONE IM TAKIN CARE OF BUSINESS the next time they hassle you for playing Wordle during Real Housewives.
This week we welcome comedienne Jessica Sele to the show to discuss bidet usage. But first, we kick things off talking about steamy hot cat sex. We bring up dogs briefly as well, but let’s face it, we know what our audience wants to hear about.
Speaking of which, we all watched Trainwreck: Poop Cruise which kinda felt like it was made for us but unfortunately (predictably, tbh) was a paint-by-numbers streaming doc. Props for minimizing usage of “typing things into a google search bar” shots, though. There’s a number of great stories to be told about it, but they focus on a small number of people and gloss over some major parts, such as, why anyone thought it was a good idea to make drinks free. There is a book’s worth of sociological insights to be gleaned from the poop cruise earning its name because everyone interviewed talks about refusing to poop in a bag, which of course exacerbates the issue and degrades the quality of life for everyone on board, but you aren’t going to hear about it on this podcast. I mean, come on.
Lastly, we dive into the New York Times’ hit piece on Zohran’s college application, which was only uncovered due to a hack of applicant data at Columbia, and provided to them by a “race science academic”. We asked Dave Weigel how exactly the ratfucking of Zohran would occur, but none of us had this on the bingo card. At least we still have Wordle.
Hello friends, it’s your Joes Rogan of the left coming at ya with another hot and spicy Frotcast: this time with less research! “Jamie, could you not pull that up for me?”
We kick off with perhaps one of our best songs yet. Or maybe it’s one of our worst. How could one possibly tell the difference? RIP, Brian Wilson, we have a feeling you’ll like this one.
Predictably, we circle back to Zohran/the Democrats being the most gigantic fucking losers on the planet. We don’t mean to repeat ourselves on the show quite so much, but it really is something to watch a party that is desperate to understand why nobody likes them engage in a smear campaign against someone that people actually like. In the meantime, the ratfucking beast slouches towards Gotham. OK that was a stretch. Sorry but the only water you can get in Ireland comes in small cartons with WB Yeats on them, and I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it.
Also in this episode: Jimmy Swaggart, globalizing the empanada, Posting Through It as a life philosophy, Trump's continued obsession with the word "groceries," plus Matt answers an important question: can you blow cum back into your own balls? See if we can find an answer, even without the Jamie of the left.
This week on the Frotcast, Brendan and Matt are on vacation, but never fear: we've got Laremy Legel and Joey Devine from Roundball Rock in their stead. This week, we're mourning WTF by discussing all the AppleTV+ shows Marc Maron has been good in. We have a nice dramatic reading of the old article a British journalist wrote about "wanking myself into hospital" that people used to bully him off of BluSky after he kept whining about his engagement. After that, we discuss the movie The Amateur, starring Rami Malek as a nerdy CIA guy whose bosses keep telling him he could never kill even though he keeps killing guys. Jon Bernthal is there too. How did he get to be the go-to guy for being buddies with autistic assassins? We all agree that it looks great but could've used less grieving. Finally, Frotcast Official Maritime Correspondent Laremy has some thoughts about the Titan Submersible documentaries. If you're thinking about building a deep-water submarine out of carbon fiber that you have to drive with a playstation controller, just don't. Trust us.
As is customary for the last episode of a season, we brought in the closer and honorary Pod Yourself a Third Chair. From Defector, The Distraction, and It’s Christmastown podcasts, David J. Roth joins Matt and Vince for the Mad Men season two finale, “Meditations in an Emergency.”
We know they’re not going to get blown up by Russia, but the characters don’t know that yet. There’s a missile crisis in, or around, Cuba, and on Madison Avenue, they’re living like there’s no tomorrow. Pete tries to get one last we’re-gonna-die shag from Peggy, who then confesses that she gave away his baby. He looks sad, but you just know he still would have hit if she let him.
Betty decides she too can play at the philandering game, and has her one last we’re-gonna-die shag with a strange man in what appears to be a bartender’s dressing room? Manhattan cocktail bars in the sixties seem cool. You could smoke inside, bartenders had dressing rooms you could have sex in, and oh wait right they didn’t let black people in. Nevermind, the sixties were bad. The podcast is good. Just enjoy the podcast. We’ll be back soon with season three.

Won't someone please think of the Waymos??? Laremy Legel, breakout star of Whoop Dreams, is in the Frotquarters once again this week, filling in for Brendan. We're talking about how we had to wait eight years to see people start doing vandalism on Waymo cars, and whether we thought it'd take this long. Then we discuss recording last week's show only hours before the Elon Musk/Donald Trump beef kicked off in earnest. We discuss some of the greatest hits of that feud, now that it looks like it's cooling down. Finally, we eulogize Brian Wilson by recounting some of our favorite Brian Wilson stories, which Matt only loves because he's the worst kind of Beach Boys fan.
Matt & Vince are joined by comedian, co-host of the Oh Hell Yeah podcast, handsome devil, and producer of this podcast, Brent Flyberg. Listen as we discuss Mad Men season two episode twelve, “The Mountain King”
Fellas, is your nag wife always hounding you about your philanderous lifestyle? Have you tried bailing to Long Beach and getting free therapy and tarot readings from the widow of the man whose identity you stole to escape the Korean War? Works for Don, but his dead commanding officer’s wife is the ultimate cool girl, and yours probably isn’t.
Back in New York, Pete throws a chicken off the balcony, Peggy earns her own office after nailing the popsicle account pitch, Joan tries a sex act considered obscene in 1962 (girl on top?!?!?) and Roger pushes for a merger with Putney Powell & Lowe so he can fund his divorce and keep his child bride happy.

Frotcast 634: Nonnas
Quick recap
The group discussed various topics including political frustrations, drug use among high-profile individuals, and problematic portrayals of Italian-American culture in movies. They expressed criticism of Democratic leadership, tech entrepreneurs' misuse of psychedelic drugs, and the behavior of figures like Donald Trump and Elon Musk. The conversation also touched on the influence of social media on political discourse and the group's personal experiences with cultural stereotypes and food traditions.
Next steps
I don't see any next steps or meeting transcript provided to analyze. Please share the content you'd like me to help organize and prioritize, and I'll format them according to your specifications as a clean numbered list with assignees and action items.
Democratic Strategies and Political Frustrations
Matt, Vince, and Brendan discussed the political strategies of Democrats, expressing frustration with their approach to appealing to voters. They agreed that candidates who seem more committed to action, even if it might be harmful, tend to win elections. The group also shared their disappointment with the Democratic Party's lack of bold ideas and compared it to the Republican Party's lack of ideas. They briefly discussed the movie "Nonnas" and teased an upcoming podcast episode about it.
Trump's Unpredictability and Cabinet Dynamics
Matt, Brendan, and Vince discussed their disdain for Donald Trump, highlighting his erratic behavior, lack of understanding, and the absurdity of his being the richest man in the world. The conversation also touched on Trump's offensive language and his upbringing by eugenicists, suggesting a lack of understanding rather than ignorance.
Reflecting on Influential Figures' Legacies
The group discussed the backgrounds of influential figures like Elon Musk and others from apartheid-era South Africa, highlighting their connections to eugenics and white supremacy. They criticized the movie "Invictus" for its lackluster portrayal of rugby and its formulaic direction by Clint Eastwood. The conversation then shifted to the perceived lack of impact that potentially damaging tapes of Donald Trump using the N-word would have at this point, given his current status and behavior.
Social Media's Impact on Discourse
Matt shared his experience of potentially influencing Thom York of Radiohead to issue a statement about the Gaza situation, which she criticized as disappointing and poorly executed. The group discussed the broader implications of public opinion and social media on political discourse, with Vince and Brendan contributing perspectives on how social media can both reflect and distort public sentiment.
Nonnas Movie Authenticity Debate
The group discussed the movie "Nonnas," starring Vince Vaughn, which is based on a true story about an Italian restaurant concept. They expressed skepticism about the portrayal in the movie, particularly regarding the character's background and the authenticity of quotes attributed to the real-life restaurant owner. The conversation touched on themes of biopics and how famous people's stories are often carefully managed, with the group agreeing that the movie's portrayal seemed unlikely to match the actual events.
The Godfather of Staten Island" Critique
The group discussed the movie "The Godfather of Staten Island," which they found to be an entertaining but problematic portrayal of Italian-American culture. They criticized the movie for its racist stereotypes, lack of authenticity, and reliance on clichés. Vince shared his research on the real-life restaurant, Enoteca Maria, which he found had a very different story than the one depicted in the film. The group agreed that the movie focused on a marketing hook rather than the true story of Joe Scaravella's restaurant, which they found more interesting.
The Irishman's Italian-American Stereotypes
The group discussed the movie "The Irishman" and its portrayal of Italian-American culture, particularly focusing on Sunday gravy and Italian-American stereotypes. They criticized the movie for its simplistic and overly romanticized depiction of Italian-American families, noting that it lacked depth and complexity. The conversation then shifted to a discussion about food, with Vince sharing his recipe for Rio Grande beef chili.

Pete and Don go to the sunshine state to scout new clients at an aeronautics convention and have wildly different, but both quintessentially LA experiences. Like most New Yorkers, Pete hates everything until he sees a celebrity. “Everybody here is late for everything… Oh! I just saw Tony Curtis in the restroom,” he says before getting ignored by beautiful women at the pool. Don, however, is beautiful, so he gets taken in by a gang of beautiful, wealthy people who don’t seem to have jobs. One of them wants Don to sleep with his daughter, which is somehow a story that Vince can relate to.
Back at the office, the creative team learns that Kurt is a homosexual who makes love with the men, not the women. (his words). The reaction is as homophobic as you would expect for 1962, and poor Sal has to hear it all.

This week, Jessica Sele (from Some Timeline!) joins the Frotcast to talk about her microbiome and being the C-GOAT, and we react live to Joe Rogan discovering astrology. This leads to a general discussion about the value of the kind of intellectual curiosity that leads one to ask all the questions without bothering to look up the answers. On that note, we catch up with Trump and his big beautiful brain learning the word "groceries" for the first time. Finally, Matt has many, many interesting thoughts on Andor, a show that he has seen and loves, which he now passionately reviews. Ay, it's me, Diego Luna! Finally, we finish things off with some listener voicemails, which were surprisingly nice and entertaining. Well done, Frot-fans!
Say wazzzzzup to this week’s guest. Joining Matt & Vince is the funniest female comedian in the world, Alison Stevenson, to discuss Mad Men season two episode 10, “The Inheritance.”
You likely remember the Budweiser ad that inspired millions to ask “what’s up?” in a merged, while drawn-out, fashion, but do you remember the Obama campaign ad that brought those guys back to your screen (all the way from Iraq!) to ask wazzzzzzup with America? It’s Alison’s favorite ad. She’s likely seen it more times than she’s seen an episode of Mad Men, but don’t be weird about it. It’s another A+ edition of the podcast.
The Mad Men episode is fine too (solid B+). Betty’s dad makes a pass at her, Pete finds out his once old money family has become nouveau pauvre, and Paul’s girlfriend learns he only cares about her rights if he’s not getting a free trip to California.
