Show Notes
WE HAVE STARTED RECORDING NEW EPISODES OF MAD YOURSELF A MAN! SO DON'T YOU WORRRY! In the meantime, here's this weeks Frotcast. --- In Brief: We watched 'Obsession!' Plus, joining the dead-dad club, Trump re-blockading the Strait of Hormuz blockade, Mitch McConnell joins live for 20 minutes, and the World Cup. In Detail: Welcome to A Very Special Frotcast. Vince’s dad sadly passed away this week, so Vince and the fellas reminisce about the man himself. Did he get to honk a boob before he shuffled off his mortal coil? You betcha. What higher compliment can you give a man than to say he died as he lived, watching The Big Bang Theory. Also dead, the Iran cease fire agreement. The blockade we were blockading was previously un-blockaded but is now being re-blockaded. So the deal is off, after previously being on and off, prior to it also being on and then off. I’m starting to think this Donald Trump guy isn’t totally forthcoming in his communications! Not dead, however (maybe), is Schrodinger’s Wildcat, Kentucky’s own Mitch McConnell. He’s in the hospital after a reported cardiac arrest at his home. Fortunately, the GOP is on the case; they’ve all apparently spoken with him in suspiciously consistent 20-minute blocks of time, but his comms team is being cagey about his current condition. Fortunately we’ve secured an exclusive interview with him, where he opens up to us about life, love, loss, and Andy Dufresne. Next up, the lads talk World Cup. Cheers for Egypt-Argentina, jeers for Switzerland-Colombia. Apparently the Swiss and Colombians watched the wall-to-wall action that was Egypt-Argentina and said “fuck that noise”. What proceeded was what can only be described as a home run derby with soccer balls. And did they ever send ‘em to the upper deck! This was a crime against fútbol and we will be boycotting the sport for four years, starting after this tournament. Finally, this week we watched the new obsession everyone’s obsessing over, Obsession. It really brought Matt back to the days of having an unhealthy relationship with a different person that is not his current wife. Vince wanted to see the protagonist act more assertively due to no longer having a strong male figure in his life, but Matt and Brendan thought it was one of the best horror movies to come out recently. Run, don’t walk, to go see this B+ of a movie.

The Sno Ball is the Sin that Gets You into Hell
In brief: Guest Will Poole, aka Wapplehouse, aka Kristi Yamaguccimane, from Jortscenter pod. News discussion: urine enthusiasts trying to trick AI. Movie discussion: Unabomber on Netflix. Will aka Kristi Yamaguccimane joins the Frot this week, and folks this one has it all: dumb guys singing about drinking pee, dumb guys using AI to drink pee, dumb guys who aren’t drinking pee but had they done so would have been less embarrassing than what they actually did, and the Unabomber. AI-wielding pee drinkers are using their favorite LLMs to justify drinking pee. For your health. Said pee-drinkers, with their insatiable thirst for…knowledge, are here to give you all the hot tips on how to bully AI into telling you exactly what you want to hear (in this case, that drinking pee is part of a balanced breakfast). That would seem to defeat the purpose of consulting with a machine that purports to be the sum of all human knowledge, but that hasn’t stopped pretty much any one of these AI-poisoned idiots yet. HEY GROK CREATE A METAPHOR FOR THE FOLLY OF MAN BUT PUT IT IN A MODERN CONTEXT AND MAKE IT STUPID. HEY GROK MAKE IT STUPIDER! Next, we cover the viral moment in the Jack Smith Congressional hearing where Missouri senator Eric Schmitt showed his entire ass by not knowing ball. He thought he had Smith dead to rights and revealed his Perry Mason moment, only to discover he had the wrong sport and city. Amy Klobuchar had to step in to explain the difference between the Atlanta Hawks of the NBA and the Iowa Hawkeyes of the NCAA. Imagine not being able to win an election against these guys. You would have to be a real fucking loser! Who will stand up for the grandparents? Certainly not them, that chair is comfy, the heat is set at 85 degrees, and they have arthritis! We go to Florida, where we hear the harrowing story of one gamgam’s quest to see her grandson after being cut off by her daughter, who by the way could have done much better than Darrell and is too hippy for those slacks. Finally, this week we watched Unabomber, wherein a fictional character played by Shailene Woodley fights the laws of the United States and apparently physics to apprehend the non-fictional Unabomber. It’s kind of a sci-fi. The Fault in our Star Wars. Anyway, it’s a movie about posting, both in the online and British uses of the word. Solid B+.
