Bonus #Content: Phil Rosenthal Talks ‘Somebody Feed Phil’



So, I know we didn’t do a new show last week, and this week we’re doing a Ben tribute episode that’s going to be Patreon only. We’re getting the whole band back together for that one. Including Bret! So we’re going to do that one Patreon only and donate the proceeds to charity.

In the meantime, I thought I’d share this interview I did with Phil Rosenthal. Phil created Everybody Loves Raymond and he has a new food show out on Netflix, Somebody Feed Phil. I do a lot of these phone interviews and they don’t always make great audio, but I wanted to share this one because Phil is just such a great interview. I can tell he’s good because when I get the transcripts back I barely have to edit anything. He just naturally speaks in complete sentences. He’s great. Enjoy!

358: Kriegslist and Superb Owl Preview, With Matt Ufford



The big news this week is that our Frotcast co-host Matt Lieb finally got put on a list of objectionable Jews, by Wisconsin congressional candidate Paul Nehlen. Also, thanks to a video he made about the simultaneous rise of Anti-Semitism and Israel-filia in the alt-right, got called out by an atheist Canadian kangaroo on YouTube. Leading to the definining question of 2018, “why is the atheist Canadian kangaroo mad at me?” SB Nation’s Matt Ufford joins this week for that, plus we discuss a few Oscar movies we’ve finally caught up with, and preview the Super Bowl this week.
