    Mad Yourself A Man 305: The Fog, with Brent Flyberg

    Don’s Hot for Teacher Get the overnight bag, Betty’s in labor. While she goes through the terrifying, awe-inspiring experience of giving birth, you can sit in a special waiting room for dudes and listen to a new episode of your favorite podcast. Producer of the pod, comedian, co-host of the Oh Hell Yeah podcast, AL West Champion Seattle Mariners supporter, episode description writer, and now parody song writer, Brent Flyberg joins Matt & Vince to talk about Mad Men season three episode five, “The Fog.” You read that right, there’s a new Draper D-story swinging d-word in town. I wrote it, I sang it, I tacked it on at the end of the episode. I learned in the process that singing is hard, especially trying to sing like David Lee Roth.  Much like this podcast’s second favorite guy named David Roth, Don is hot for Sally’s teacher, but more obviously in this episode, Miss Farrell is hot for Don. She’s calling him at home, talking all breathy with a glass of wine like damn we get it, we know what Jon Hamm looks like too, but get it together, lady. Probably the only thing that stops Don from driving over and taking her to philandertown in that exact moment is his shrieking wife who needs a ride to the hospital to deliver another one of his little snotty kids. At that moment, he likely thought it had never been harder to be a white man in America.  Tell us what you would name Don and Betty’s third kid in a five five-star review on Apple Podcasts.  Email us at frotcast@gmail.com; leave us a voicemail at 415-275-0030 Support the Pod: become a patron at patreon.com/Frotcast and get more bonus content than you could ever want.

    Mad Yourself A Man 304: The Arrangements, with Dave Weigel

    Living the Jai A-life Stop trying to make jai alai happen and listen to this week’s episode of the pod with returning guest, Letterboxd lover, and journalist from Semafor, Dave Weigel, joining Matt & Vince for a chat about Mad Men season three episode four, “The Arrangements.” RIP big Gene. The writers may have forgotten about your dementia, but we’ll never forget you. Not that it’s a competition, but Sally is definitely the most distraught about her grandpa’s passing. He was teaching her so much, from how to drive his car, to inferior Assyrian genes leading to Rome’s downfall. Pete finds a “fatted calf” to offer to Don in the form of a rich dingus who’s trying to make jai alai America’s next national pastime through the magic of advertising. Don would rather save Burt’s relationship with the rich dingus’s father than carve money out of the kid, so he tries to stop the deal, but Mr. Jai Alai Sr. gives them the all-clear. As you know, America's next national pastime was not jai alai. It was always going to be gun violence. Sal gets two big opportunities: 1. Direct Patio Cola’s Bye Bye Birdy ripoff ad and 2. Have sex with his wife. He uses anxiety about 1 as an excuse to get out of 2, and he… well, sometimes I look up an episode synopsis on the Mad Men Fandom wiki while writing these, and whoever wrote this one described it perfectly so just read it: “Sal acts out the Bye Bye Birdie takeoff for Kitty, whose cheerful encouragement fades as her husband minces his way through the choreography.” “Minces.” Devastating.  Who’s your pick to win the Battle Court Jai Alai fall season this year?

    Mad Yourself A Man 303: My Old Kentucky Home, with Amy Silverberg

    Roger’s Old Kentucky Racism Put that shoe polish away and listen to the latest episode with comedian and author of First Time, Long Time, Amy Silverberg, joining Matt & Vince to talk about Mad Men season three episode three, “My Old Kentucky Home.” If you’re watching the show along with the podcast, you may have noticed there’s a new disclaimer before this episode about blackface, and how it’s bad, and you should not do it, and we agree! However, none of the various media with blackface in the 50s and 60s had such a disclaimer, so Roger likely had no idea that it was problematic to throw a derby party with his child bride so that he could show everyone how good he is at singing in blackface. He also would have rolled his eyes so hard if you said something he did was “problematic.” If Roger were alive today, he would accuse this podcast of being infected by the woke mind virus.  Back at the office, Peggy and the gang are getting blazed on the sweet cheba, leading to inspiration for the Bacardi campaign, proving sometimes drugs are good. If you’re keeping score at home: black face = bad, drugs = good (sometimes).

    Mad Yourself A Man 302: Love Among the Ruins, with Allen Strickland Williams

    Love Among the Goons 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? Is it still considered gooning if you bust more than once?

    Mad Yourself A Man 301: Out of Town, with Dave Schilling

    Sound the Gay Alarm, MYAM is Back 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.  Are you a virgin if you’re a closeted gay man who has only had sex with women?

    [UNLOCKED] Frotcast 639: POOP CRUISE, with Jessica Sele

    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. You can find Jessica on Instagram and Twitter. Buy her album. -Description by Brendan. Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
