Did you guys know that there's an entire shadow sperm market that exists outside of regular sperm banks, largely connecting donors and recipients on an ad-hoc basis through a series of Facebook groups? This is the world chronicled in Spermworld, Lance Oppenheim's latest documentary, currently out on FX/Hulu. It's a fascinating, sometimes excruciatingly awkward portrait largely centered on three sperm donors: Ari, a Jewish guy with upwards of 130 children and a disapproving mother who views his life like a screwball comedy. Tyree, a mechanic and ex-con who has immersed himself in the sperm-donating game even as he and his partner, Atasha, are themselves having trouble conceiving. And Steve, a fit, 60-year-old divorcee from Tennessee who has struck up an unlikely... friendship? with Rachel, a 27-year-old lung-transplant recipient with cystic fibrosis. One question hovers above all the donors. What's driving them?

Lance has a knack for shooting desperate oddballs, as he previously showed in Some Kind of Heaven, a hilarious, sometimes tragic documentary about the Villages retirement community which premiered at Sundance in 2020 and went on to make my own best-of list (in which I only very rarely include docs, even though I love them). That one was produced by Darren Aronofsky.

Later this year, Lance has “Ren Faire,” produced by Elara Pictures and HBO, a three-part docuseries about the epic succession battle at America’s largest renaissance festival. That one is produced by the Safdie Brothers and recently debuted at SXSW. Nathan Fielder hosted a recent screening. Of course, Lance is also just a fun hang, and more than game to be grilled about his work. Which also provided Matt ample opportunity to talk about his favorite subject, cum. We all had thick ropes of fun, at least 10 to 15 milliliters worth.

ANNOUNCEMENT! Pod Yourself will get back in recording studio soon and with a brand new show! Listen to the announcement at the beginning to find out what show!

On today’s Frotcast, we’re guest-free (by choice, not because we couldn’t find anyone, WHY WOULD YOU EVEN ASK THAT??), so you know what that means, wall to wall jokes about eatin dat buhhhh.

That’s not entirely true, we discuss the disastrous debate between two guys who are so fucking old there’s gotta be some kind of gag we’re missing. We establish a baseline of “must be able to assure America that post-birth abortions don’t exist” for being the leader of the free world.

After that, Vince finds new types of Guys To Be Mad At; you will assuredly be mad at them too unless you brag on LinkedIn about posting #content on #linkedin to boost #engagement. Please keep this in mind for your Listener Performance Review next quarter. Not to spoil things, but it might get ugly. You all have been terribly disappointing to us.

We round things out by talking about the new Beverly Hills Cop movie. It’s officially called “Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F” but Frotcast house style dictates we refer to it as “Beverly Hills Cop Promo Code Axel F”. Drink every time someone says “FOLEY!” if you want to die. Brendan was the only one to watch the whole thing, but we manage to squeeze plenty out of our discussion before we all decide we’re tired and we’d better wrap things up.

I’m tired so I’m gonna wrap things up. Bye!

Paulie Walnuts presents: A Goomba’s Guide to Loving Your Mom. Fresh from the oven like some scones Carmela Soprano baked for the “Fabio of The Sopranos,” as guest Desi Jedeikin from the Hollywood Crime Scene podcast calls Furio, there’s a piping hot new episode of Pod Yourself a Gun. It’s about dang time Matt and Vince got Desi on the show, as she introduced former guest and Hollywood Crime Scene co-host Rachel Fischer to The Sopranos. Her and the boys are talking about season four, episode twelve, "Eloise." This episode is more fun than taking a bunch of old ladies to see The Producers on Broadway, and if you say otherwise I will personally come to your place and smother you to death with a pillow like Paulie does to that old crone Minnie. Or, at least I’ll settle the dispute they had on the podcast about whether or not it’s possible to smother someone to death with a pillow. Don’t make me find out. You look like you have weak lungs. To complement the pillow talk, there is also a bangin’ Bada-B story song parody about standing too close to a helicopter while urinating, and a discussion of Paulie’s performative mom love. He loves Nucci, but also he needs everyone in his immediate vicinity to know how much he loves Nucci. It’s sweet but gross — kind of like your mom. Now that you have been thoroughly berated, tell us how great we are in a five-star review on Apple Podcasts.

Kids These Days

On the pod this week, our guest is a copywriter who wears suits, so he’s basically Don Draper. Comedian and podcaster Allen Strickland Williams joins Matt and Vince to talk about Mad Men season one episode four, “New Amsterdam.”

You listen to the podcast because it’s good. Because it feels better than unbuttoning your collar. Because you deserve it. You listen to the podcast because it’s what piggies do, but I want you to be very clear about this, you were banned from the Patreon. I wanted you out, Allen wanted you out, and you would be, if it weren’t for Matt and Vince. They thought you deserved another chance. Now, I know your generation went to college instead of serving, so I’ll illuminate you, these men are your commanding officers. You live and die in their shadows. Listen to the episode, meet the perfect little pervert Glen, and the disgusting big pervert from Bethlehem Steel, and don’t let Matt & Vince down.

We’ll give you a lock of Matt’s hair if you leave a five-star review on Apple Podcasts.

Good evening, cowards (this is a joke explained in the episode).

Jerry Seinfeld says he couldn't away with all those edgy Seinfeld episodes nowadays because people are so woke and leftist! I mean WHAT. IS. THE DEAL? We try to figure out what Jerry is angry about or if he's even angry at all in this week's installment of Today's Dumb Story Everyone Is Talking About For Some Reason. Why don't they build the WHOLE PLANE out of wokness. You also won't want to miss the story about what Kirstie Alley's parents were wearing when they died in a car crash. We take some time to meet the man who called his city council leaders "fat, ugly b*tches" and learn all about his tick-removing device and why he's so mad about someone trying to fill the potholes in his Finally, we've got the latest in terrible AI trends, from Will.i.am's robot cohost to a service that will automatically spam links to your product in Reddit threads. It's a brave new world, we're just jizzing in it.
