Welcome to 2026: this shit sucks! We kick things off with a riff that’s for the old-school frotters; Matt has to interrupt us to inform us that we are inadvertently repeating a bit from nine years ago. Listen man, you try keeping this show fresh for a decade and a half! A Jew dressed in a gorilla suit to hide from Nazis is GOLD I tell ya!! At least we’re not talking about Olivia Nuzzi anymore.

In this week’s How Are They This Bad At Their Jobs segment, Democrat Richie Torres introduces legislation that would require ICE agents to display a QR code that you can scan to get their information, so you can make a report with your new phone that you have to buy after they steal yours and sell it. This is a great idea, there really should be legislation that any law enforcement officer is required to display some type of insignia (or badge, maybe?)  in order to detain someone, and surely if this were to pass, ICE would follow this law to the letter so as to avoid future negative consequences. You think these guys want a strongly worded letter from Chuck “Damp Underpants” Schumer???

Speaking of Democrats, our old pal mayor Eric Adams is back, and he comes bearing the gift of worthless digital currency. Is there a rug pull involved in all this? You bet. Is the kicker on this whole thing that buyers were defrauded of their money by a coin that according to Adams, is for fighting antisemitism? Who can truly say?

Finally, why don’t you have a seat? Put your clothes back on and give me the puppy. Set down the Zima. Remove the Xbox controller from your crotch. We’re talking Predators, the documentary about the infamous show To Catch A Predator. Our verdict: dumb guys LOVE the letter X. Solid B+ of a doc.

Read Vince’s interview with David Osit, the director of Predators, here. See you next week unless we get murdered by ICE!

Apologies and congratulations if you already subscribe to The #Content Report, but in case you didn't catch it, I didn't want anyone to miss this interview with Predators director David Osit. We talk about his new documentary, Chris Hansen, To Catch A Predator, its copycats, and more!

Well it looks like our wish a few weeks back for things to suck less shit really blew up in our faces. Sorry about that, everyone. It turns out that the largest donor to the party that is actively obstructing the investigation into the Michael Jordan of pedophiles because our current president was best friends with said prolific pedophile owns a website that generates nudes of minors on demand. HEY GROK SHOW ME A TEN YEAR OLD’S GENITALS

To distract ourselves from the crackpot conspiracy-pilled eldritch horror of this current administration we watched Bugonia, a movie about a schlub who suffered an overdose of podcasts and youtube and is now convinced he’s the victim of a vast cosmic alien plot. We get into spoiler territory early on, so consider yourself warned. In the non-spoiler department, we all liked it. Jesse P Lemmons and Emma Stone are great as always, and former Pod Yourself guest Stavros Halkias is a delight.

Did I mention Producer Brent is here? Producer Brent is here. He watched Anaconda, and let me tell you, this man has takes on snakes. Solid B+.

Tony Dookiepill, who was hand-picked by Bari Weiss to read the news, reads the news like a person who was hand-picked by Bari Weiss to read the news. This man apparently has had two circumcisions as an adult? There has never been a better time in history to be an absolute freak.

Finally, we all watched the Chevy Chase documentary and then forgot to talk about it. Solid B+.

ICE executed a nonviolent citizen in the street yesterday. Fuck ICE. Sorry, we don’t have any jokes about that. If you are angry and able, please donate to Renee Good’s gofundme.

Wocka wocka!

-Description by Brendan

This week, Matt is unhappily parenting, or maybe just looking for parking, in Sedona, Arizona, and Brendan is fixing an exploding pool pump, but that's no reason to fret, because we're ringing in the year with Sean Keane, from the Roundball Rock podcast and soon to be playing Cobb's Comedy Club this January 7th in San Francisco.

We're discussing New Year's Eve, and how it's by far the most overrated holiday, but also mourning the death of a true poster, Mike Fossey, aka Mike F, by reading a few of his greatest posts. Then we mourn our dead The Wire actors, Ziggy and Clay Davis, and I tell the story of my one Isiah Whitlock Jr. encounter, which Matt rudely interrupts to call in from Sedona, Arizona while he's in the middle of pooping. He tells us all about the crystal vortex and why he hates vacation parenting and thinks everyone in Sedona is actually on drugs.

After that, we discuss Gwyneth Paltrow's journey from actress to Goop CEO and back to actress again (Sean read a book!), and since it's year-end list season, we review the one awards season film that Sean has seen, which happens to be Jay Kelly. Didja ever notice that Jay Kelly would've been much better if it had been about Adam Sandler's character? Have you seen this? Have you heard about this? That leads into a bunch of related discussions, about American Beauty, Ben Affleck's greatest roles and how well he lays pipe. And also Is This Thing On? and movies about stand-up comedy just generally.

The regular Frot boys will be back next week, but in the meantime hope you like Sean and I just bullshitting about movies for a while. As always, no refunds.

Returning frotchamp Allison Mick re- joins the Frotcast this week to discuss her upcoming book Humboldt Cut, plus the standard farts n’ doo doo-type stuff you’ve come to expect from this deeply stupid podcast.

Vanity Fair got an up-close look at the key members of the current White House cabinet. And boy, was it ever up and close. Close enough to see the lip injection marks on Karoline Leavitt’s face, in fact. The photos are so bad, and the subjects are so stupid, that we’ve blown past “the article that directly quoted me is a hit piece” and moved onto “the article that directly photo’d me is a hit piece”. There has truly never been a better time in human history to be the dumbest person you went to high school with. 

Staying in the West Wing, we talk about the completely deranged “Presidential Walk Of Fame” that Trump had placed in the White House colonnade. What does it mean when the leader of the free world needs more than one metal plaque to air the grievances of a guy who was last in office a decade ago? Buddy, you don’t have enough plaques for the answer.

Sadly, we have to talk about the big Hollywood news this week, the murder of Rob Reiner and his wife. His son is due to be arraigned on murder charges in January, and if convicted, he could quite possibly become the 2nd most notorious fatal stabber in the history of Brentwood. Nice job, idiot.

In honor of Reiner’s prolific film career, we discussed his incredible run of hits that spanned the 1980s, and we watched the newly released Spinal Tap II: The End Continues. It’s a misleading title due to the fact that the movie does in fact end. Just like this summary! Solid B+

Pre-order Humboldt Cut here.

Welcome back to another episode of the Frotcast, the only Frotcast that promises to deliver 1.05x to 1.1x the value of other Frotcasts!*

Sam Altman goes on Jimmy Kimmel or Fallon or something and discusses his complete inability to raise his own child without AI. First they outsourced the factory jobs, yadda yadda yadda, when they outsourced brains everything was super awesome and everyone was happy.

Speaking of which, Glenn Beck is still alive! He claims to have created an AI George Washington, who inexplicably is wearing the tech bro podcast uniform of a tight black t-shirt. What he has to say about the correlation between position of one’s pants vis a vis their asses and success will SHOCK you! 

Marjorie Taylor Greene’s crazy ass is still in the news somehow, and this time she really gives some nosy journalist, with whom she agreed to sit for an interview, the ol’ what for. Can you believe she had the balls to question a sitting congresswoman?? This leads to a discussion about the id of the modern GOP, which is basically going to the RPG character creation screen and putting all your points into “Not Knowing How Anything Works” and “Frightened Rage”. 

Really a landmark week all around for feeling your life ebb away while watching the world’s worst interviews.

Finally, we all watched the Diddy Doc on Netflix, and if it doesn’t turn you into a wealth redistribution maximalist, I don’t know what will. It turns out that if you have enough money, you can simply buy the ability to think you’re good at rapping!

See you next week, maybe shit won’t suck so bad by then. A girl can hope!

Welcome to this week’s Frotcast, where we try in vain once again to humiliate Matt to death like a French livestreamer. Oh well, there’s always next week.

First up, ladies and gentlemen, the swagless wonder of the 21st century, Andrew Cuomo! He’s really still trying to do this everybody! Never give up hope!! Especially if Vince discovers that you sound a lot like Lou Ferrigno.

Next, we name names, folks. That’s right, the names of the Ole Miss Sigma Nu pledges are hot off the presses, and we can’t wait to see what these up and coming prospects get cancelled for in the coming years. Lots of value in the middle round of this class.

Of course, we need to talk about Cracker Barrel and the uhhhhh fuck this is exhausting you should probably just fast forward this part.

We close out by answering the most important questions about the pennyante political scandal that is rocking the NYC mayor’s race. Notably, what’s a few simoleons in a half-eaten bag of chips between pals? Does it matter that the pal in question is a reporter covering the political campaign the bag of chips giver works for? Why you gotta bring up old shit???

We are serving cunt on the Frotcast and we cannot. Even. Stop!

This week we serve up our listeners a cunt named Brian Abrams, a guy who’s seen way more movies than Vince and author of “You Talkin' to Me?" The Definitive Guide to Iconic Movie Quotes. Brian joins us for the main subject of this week’s episode, Ari Aster’s latest film Eddington. Unfortunately, we drag him into some very stupid topics before we get there. Sorry Brian.

We get down to brass tacks right away- every man has a price, and Matt’s is $20,000. That’s right folks, he’s run plum out of royalty freestyle ideas, so now he has to whore out that sweet, sweet man-ass of his.

Next up, the 46-year-old French guy who got humiliated to death while streaming. That’s right folks, GERARD DEPARDIEU IS DEAD (pause for Kevin Eubanks to stop laughing).

Now throw in Cuomo’s swagless social media, Jordan Peterson’s mold problem, and important news from the President of Space, Kevin Spacey (we beg you, don't overthink the bits), and you got yourself a B+ of a pod, baby.

Find Brian on his website, Letterboxd, and TikTok.

This week, Dave Weigel from Semafor joins the Frotcast to tell us all about Partners, a 1982 gay-themed buddy action comedy starring John Hurt. Okay, not really, he's mostly here to discuss Zohran Mamdani's win in the Democratic primary for NYC mayor. But we definitely WOULD'VE talked a lot more about Partners if Dave hadn't waited until the end to bring it up.

I actually had a big bummer of a show planned, about how Israel goaded the president into bombing Iran and congressional Dems hadn't even decided whether to be angry about it yet, but then Mamdani won a primary and a lot of those same establishment Dems got kicked in the teeth. Frankly I didn't know that much about Mamdani other than that all the worst people in the world seemed to be doing a lot of scaremongering about him (most of which only made him sound kinda cool).

Dave joins us from "across the pond" (how I describe the East Coast) to break down what it all means, and especially to answer the big questions: are good things possible? How soon will I be disappointed?

Meanwhile, Brendan is back from Ireland and has seen 'Kneecap' (the movie, he didn't get to see the group play music), and Matt is back from Hawaii. So we discuss all of the biggest issues those trips brought to light, such as biffos between delivery drivers and the impossibility of a relaxing vacation as a parent.

This week on the Frotcast, we're getting updates on the Diddy situation and exactly what his penchant for cuckoldry looks like, and along with it a glimpse into the life of a male sex worker. Is it rad? Maybe for the first 45 minutes, but then what? We're also breaking down Trump's latest riff about "the fat shot," and trying to figure out how he can be so good at riffing and pretty much nothing else. Finally, we round things out with a profile of Air BnB CEO Brian Chesky, who is busy trying to turn his successful business that is good at doing one specific thing into a really annoying-sounding one that tries to do everything. Why are tech guys like this? There are answers to this, both personally and societally, but basically this is why we all dread every app update now. The market simply cannot leave well enough alone. The invisible hand of the market is holding a dang monkey wrench! I tell ya!

“Too many characters for my liking.” -Django Gold

Throw on your best Mitchell & Ness throwback jersey, it’s time for a new episode of the pod. This week, comedian Django Gold joins Matt and Vince to plug his new stand-up special Bag Of Tricks (available on YouTube now) and break down The Wire season four episode two, “Soft Eyes.”

Everybody’s going back to school. Not just our new young characters, even Bubbles and Prezbo are bumping into each other in the hallway and giving eachother a nod that says, “lol damn what are either of us doing here?”

Even with school around the corner, Namond’s parents are pressuring him to be a better drug dealer. These kids are millennials right? Do these parents realize Namond has to sell like four times as much drugs as Wee-Bey did to afford like half as many tropical fish?

Jessica Sele is back on the Frotcast talking about seeing Les Mis. Also, the boys saw Adam Sandler's new kids movie You Are So Not Invited To My Bat Mitzvah. 

This week Matt and Vince welcome Sean Keane back to the virtual frotquarters just hours before his European vacation. We talk about the lady who wouldn't let her husband watch the nudity in Oppenheimer, and whether this is anti-sex scene discourse or just recovering sex addition discourse. Then we shift into the magical world of AI porn, in which a simple request like "hands on hips" will make your lady's horse penis disappear, and no one wants that. Well, maybe a few people do. Then we ask Sean about Hard Knocks, the four levels of competitor, and whether coaches and business leaders are any different anymore. And of course, there are some good Trump clips. 

Hey everyone, the frot is back and once again Vince came to LA to frot (and to take Joey Devine out to a Top Chef dinner event.) In this episode we talk Ben Affleck's Air and Johnny Depp's McDonalds analogy. Watch it or listen, we don't care.

Watch it here. 

Buy tickets to see me and Jessica Sele at the SF Punchline May 31st at 8pm in San Francisco.

Hey everyone,

On this week's episode (well, next week's episode I guess for the cheapskates on the free feed) we invited Hollywood Crime Scene's Rachel Fisher back on the pod to talk about the Wire 208, the one in which Ziggy gets a duck. It's a great episode of TV and an even better podcast. Enjoy!
