    [UNLOCKED] Frotcast 680: Yung Hitler

    Inside of you are two Hitlers. At least, that's the basic premise of Max (2002), a movie about a young Hitler just trying to find his voice as an artist, before all the... well, you know. We watched it for the Frotcast this week, because last week, Matt made a joke about "why don't they make a movie about Hitler, without all the Holocaust stuff?" We had been talking about Michael, a movie that depicts the life of Michael Jackson but ends before Bad. A few of our listeners (shout out to Zach Johnston) pointed out that, actually, Matt's Hitler-but-without-the-Holocaust-stuff-movie had already been made -- in 2002, starring Noah Taylor as young Adolf and John Cusack as his (fictional) friend, Max Rothman. And at least in this case, it was genuinely an artistic choice, not a concession that the filmmakers had to make in order to get the rights to Hitler's paintings from the Hitler estate. Naturally, we had to watch it. It turned out to be endlessly funny, hearing one character constantly refer to another as "Hitler" in casual conversation. Such as in the iconic lines "Hitler, come on, I'll buy you a glass of lemonade," and "ever consider the future, Hitler?" Anyway, if you ever wanted to see a movie that asks "What if young Hitler was being played by a goth McLovin and he made a friend who was Jim from The Office," then Max (2002) is definitely the movie for you. I think I liked it more than Jojo Rabbit. After that, we discuss the California governor's race, and how we have like 17 different candidates, none of whom can give a straightforward answer to the very simple question "Is Israel doing a genocide?" And the Dems still can't figure out why people might vote for Graham Platner. Gosh, who could say??? Maybe if they paid a consulting firm made up of discount Free Press writers six or seven hundred thousand dollars they could figure it out. In conclusion, "you know Hitler, you're not an easy guy to like. ...But I'm trying." Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

    [MAD MEN] 413: Tomorrowland, with Ashley Ray

    In Between Marriages and Seasons You made it to the end of another season of the world’s only Mad Men podcast. Light up a Lucky Strike and enjoy Matt & Vince’s conversation with comedian, writer, and five-time Pod Yourself a guest, Ashley Ray about season four episode thirteen, “Tomorrowland.” Our boy Don loves the beginning of things doesn’t he? After Betty (racsitly?) fires Carla for letting Glen say goodbye to Sally ahead of their move, Don has no one to watch his kids on their trip to California. So, he hires the newest of his two office-based situationships to tend to the children. Megan does such a good job that Don proposes before they get home, and before he officially ends things with his older sex partner from work. Faye’s the one who theorizes that Don only likes beginnings, but it also could be that he likes hot, young, French Canadians who don’t scream at the kids when they spill a milkshake.  On the Accounts side, the agency needs some damn accounts. Kenneth cares too much about his wife or whatever to get the partners on a golf course with his father-in-law, so Peggy bails everyone out by getting a meeting with Topaz Hosiery, leading to the first new account in 10 months.  We’ll be back in a few weeks with new episodes, in the meantime, check out Ashley on Funny AF on Netflix, and if you’re in LA, go to her new weekly show Chida House Comedy at Casa Chida on Sunday nights.  What songs should Matt parody next season?

    [MAD MEN] 412: Blowing Smoke, with Eliza Skinner

    Blowing Bean Smoke Is this podcast beans-funny or pickles-funny? Find out on the latest episode with comedian, writer, and ceramicist Eliza Skinner joining Matt & Vince to chat about Mad Men season four episode twelve, “Blowing Smoke.”  In the wake of Lucky Strike’s departure, Don’s trying to land another big fish, but he’ll settle for beans, vinegars, and/or sauces. Faye gets him a meeting with Heinz, and he learns that he can’t make an ad about how beans make you fart, but does not lock down a new client.  Remember Midge? Don’s first mistress? You never forget your first. She’s back and she’s selling paintings to fund her true passion, doing heroin. Which she describes as feeling like, “drinking a hundred bottles of whiskey while someone licks your t**s.” She makes it seem like that’s good and cool and good, but on paper, sounds icky. Don’t do heroin. It’s icky.  Do you ever think about the Land O’Lakes butter lady?

    [MAD MEN] 411: Chinese Wall, with Brent Flyberg

    Chickity China the Chinese Wall As Pete welcomes a new life into the world, we welcome a new podcast into the world. Comedian, dog walker, cohost of the Oh Hell Yeah podcast, absolute unit, and producer of the podcast, Brent Flyberg, joins Matt and Vince to discuss Mad Men season four episode eleven, “Chinese Wall.” That’s right, Pete’s having a baby, and it’s just about the worst time possible. The whole office is in crisis mode after finding out that Lucky Strike is taking their business to BBDO. Pete’s running around making phone calls and fighting off Ted Chaough’s professional advances while poor Trudy is in labor for two full days because according to her doctor, that grip is medically gorilla. Don’s freaking out and trying to get (not a real) Doctor Miller to spill her closely guarded business secrets and help him poach her clients from other ad agencies. She resists at first, but gives into that ineffable Draper charm right after he shtups his second secretary of the season. She’ll certainly never regret abandoning her principles for such a loyal guy. What makes a wall Chinese? No racist answers.

    [MAD MEN] 410: Hands and Knees, with Nick Viagas

    Don Draper Dodges Department of Defense Disquisition  If anyone from the DoD asks, this podcast is not for communists. On the latest episode, comedian and co-host of Struggle Bus Live, Nick Viagas, joins Matt & Vince to talk about Mad Men season four episode ten, “Hands and Knees.” Tough week for the fellas at SCDP. Lane’s papa comes to visit and he’s so excited to meet Lane’s new “chocolate bunny” girlfriend (Lane’s words) that he bashes his son in the head with a cane. British people have weird ways of showing affection.  Don’s got G-men sniffing around for a background check related to Pete’s North American Aviation account, and they show up at Betty’s doorstep to ask if her ex-husband “Don Draper” is “loyal.” She’s like, uhhhh he’s definitely not a different guy with a different name. Ultimately what he is is a deserter so, much to Pete’s chagrin, they have to spike the NAA deal.  Roger might win the award for maddest man this week. Joan is pregnant despite being married to a guy who’s in Vietnam, and Lucky Strike is taking their business to BBDO. Roger responds by promising to raise the child with Joan as his wife, and tells the partners about Lucky Strike immediately so they can form a plan. Lol yeah right. He suggests Joan could trick her husband into raising the kid as his own, yells at Pete for losing the NAA account, and doesn’t say a word about losing SCDP’s biggest, and his only, account. It’s too bad Joan got an abortion, it would have been fun seeing how terrible Roger is at being a parent for a young child.  How would you fight your dad?

    [MAD MEN] 409: The Beautiful Girls, with David Roth

    Can We Interest You in a Hard Time? The girls are beautiful, the men are mad, and the pod is cast. Co-owner and editor of Defector, and co-host of the It’s Christmastown podcast, David J. Roth returns to talk to Matt and Vince about Mad Men season four episode nine, “The Beautiful Girls.” Pour one out for Ida Blankenship. She was an astronaut, a hellcat, and she died how she lived, surrounded by the people she answered phones for. Ida dropping dead at her desk is one of a handful of problems Don is dealing with in this episode. It’s a real sitcom for ol’ Dick Whitman. His daughter is showing up unannounced, his situationship can’t talk to kids, he needs to get his secretary’s body out of the office before the important business men see her, and he’s going on a date with two different women on the same night?!?!? Ida was sort of Burt’s Joan, so he’s sad in a poignant way. Roger’s also sad, but Roger but in a horny way, so he does parlay this tragedy, along with a street mugging, into some hot sympathy sex with his Joan on a stoop in Harlem. If we’re ever unfortunate enough to get mugged, may we all be so lucky as to immediately have sex afterwards.  Are you mad that Matt did a parody of a more recent song?

    [UNLOCKED] Frotcast 675: TORTA Trump TACOs Off

    Welcome back to this week’s Frotcast, the second dumbest podcast on the internet after the All-In. First up, a landmark legal case we will all be following intently: can someone be sued for a podcast bit? HEY GROK DELETE THE ENTIRE BACKLOG OF THE FROTCAST! A comedian is being sued for jokingly alleging (notice the ass-covering legalese from us) that the famous Lion King song translated to a warning about a lion, possibly a royal one. It’s going to be wild when Afroman is cited as legal precedent in this one. How do you say “because I got high” in Zulu? Next, we listen as JD Vance gets sent to voice mail by Donald Trump while addressing the crowd at a rally in Hungary. Men will literally humiliate themselves voluntarily in front of a crowd at a former Soviet satellite instead of going to therapy. At this point, reasonable minds can only conclude that all these weirdos have a humiliation fetish. Trump does, however, show up to tell us about what he got up to after the Village People show. And finally, the tragic story of Jonathan, the world’s oldest tortoise, becoming ensnared in a crypto fraud scheme. I can assure you he’s alive, well, and hates it here every bit as much as you do.

    [MAD MEN] 408: The Summer Man, Will Weldon

    The Lummer Man You don’t need a drink. You need to listen to this week’s episode of the pod. Comedian and host of the I Hate Bill Maher podcast, Will Weldon joins Matt & Vince to talk about Mad Men season four episode eight, “The Summer Man.” Don’s been so drunk lately that Betty doesn’t want him at his son’s birthday party, so in this episode, tries to chill out with the boozing by replacing it with swimming, journaling, and narrating. There is some question about whether the narration is supposed to make Don sound cool and smart, but the podcast’s official position is that saying things like “I looked up at The Barbizon, and thought of all the women in there—one in every room, touching themselves to sleep,” makes him sound like a weird old dork.  Back at the office, Joey goes full mask-off misogynist when Joan asks him to clean up after himself, because Joan is just like his mom. His mom who was always trying to make everyone look at her big knockers. I’m paraphrasing, but he does say that. He probably should have been fired on the spot for saying something so sus, but his last straw was drawing some erotic art featuring Joan. Peggy has no choice but to go full girlboss and show him the door. If Joey were a modern guy he would start a podcast so terrible he’d meet Louis Theroux.  Can you swim faster than Jon Hamm?
