Frotcast 626: Evan Yourself a Hansen, with Nick Stargu and Joey Devine

This week on the Frotcast, we welcome to the show Nick Stargu, aka DJ Real, and Joey Devine from the Roundball Rock podcast to discuss all the news of the week, from Matt Lieb's beef with a YouTuber who is trying to get him fired, to his wife Francesca's beef with a different YouTuber who fired her. Jesus, is there ANYONE in that house that a YouTuber hasn't recorded an angry 30-minute video about???

After that, we get into this week's main discussion topic, the 2021 musical, Dear Evan Hansen. But first! We explain WHY we decided to discuss Dear Evan Hansen, which involves the Snow White movie bombing, a Variety hit piece about Snow White star Rachel Zegler, and an anecdote about Snow White producer Marc Platt "leaving his family" to fly across the country to convince her to take down a tweet saying "Free Palestine."

All the while, Nick keeps showing Matt his own text message saying "I promise we won't talk about Israel."

That same Marc Platt happens to be the producer of Dear Evan Hansen, starring his son, Ben Platt. It's a strange film, and Matt was put off, as many reviewers were, by the sight of a 27-year-old playing a high schooler. Personally I was fine with his age, it was his styling and above all his haircut that I couldn't get past. You cannot put that haircut on a teenager, let alone a grown man.

Anyway, you get why we're discussing Dear Evan Hansen now. Give it a listen and maybe even a share, just make sure to take your SSRIs.

Mad Yourself A Man 204: Three Sundays, with Emma Vigeland

Bless Me Horny Father For I Have Chased

Shel Keneely is out, but political commentator and co-host of the Majority Report, Emma Vigeland, is in. She joins Matt & Vince to talk about Mad Men season two episode four “Three Sundays.”

Don and the gang are chasing American Airlines, even coming in on Good Friday in their casual wear to workshop a pitch that doesn’t remind everyone of the horrible plane crash. While they’re all hard at work, Sally is drinking her dad’s booze, chasing that perfect feeling you only get from the right amount of rye. 

There’s also a new horny priest in town, and he’s maybe chasing Peggy? Colin Hanks is the new holy man in the Olsen family’s life, and as Emma points out, him and Peggy have sort of a Father Intentola/ Carmella Soprano will they/won’t they thing going on. He never brings Peggy any DVDS to watch, but he also doesn’t bust in his pants in her living room. So it’s a toss-up for best horny priest in Pod Yourself history.
