Frotcast 628: Elon's Farmin' Babies...
Welcome to another episode of The Frotcast, where we got more jokes than Elonβs got babies! We also got more jokes than Elonβs got jokes, according to Miles Klee (former Frotcast guest!) and three other Rolling Stone reporters. It sounds like his act is wearing thin and he needs some new material, or else heβs gonna get the olβ hook (probably by Steven Miller, who will put him on the next plane to El Salvador, he typed hopefully). While it may not exactly be shocking to hear that Elon is deeply unfunny and annoying, it truly boggles the mind to imagine hanging around the mutant convention that is a Trump cabinet meeting and being THE ANNOYING ONE.
But first, Brendan correctly clocks Mark McGrath as being from Orange County solely by watching how he acts when threatening to kick someoneβs ass, and gets called racist by Matt for his troubles/sheer genius.
Next up, are you too busy to tell your parents youβre too busy to call them? Then do we have a cutting edge AI solution for you! Well, thatβs pretty much it. It calls your parents, doesnβt even pretend to be you, then chats with them in an incredibly stilted fashion, ostensibly so theyβll kill themselves and you can get your inheritance faster? Itβs unclear tbh. Surely all of this AI that is being forced on consumers that works worse than whatever it replaced and has unclear utility and addressable market will be a strong counterbalance to the chaos the tariffs are bringing, he once again typed hopefully.
We round things out by listening to a self-proclaimed British aristocrat, who is basically Mattβs Briβish accent personified. Itβs almost as eerie as listening to an AI designed to talk to lonely old people, but not quite. Thatβs a high bar to clear though, this blokeβs accent is bone-chilling. Is he posh? Is he cockney? Is he on the chube? Is he a barrister? Is there bread pie now????
