This week we have a great time with comedian David Gborie. We listen to a news clip of a twilight named cat eating its’ owner, we get into a heated discussion about Prometheus, we talk about Juggalos, and drunk on.

00:01:41 – There was a lot of good feedback from last week’s episode with Joe King, and Vince plays a clip of some of the movie pitches to recap. Guest comedian David Gborie introduces himself to the Frotcast. He grew up in a meth-riddled town in Colorado full of Juggalos, where an occasional hatchet rampage would break out. The guys discuss the Juggalos use of “ninja.” Vince and David talk about the time they took their shirts off in public. Vince also tells a depressing weed story.
00:28:50 – With photos from the latest Twilight movie making news, Vince plays a local news story where a cat named Renesmee viciously attacked her owner in the middle of the night. Vince and racism get brought up, as well as calling actors by their character’s names.
00:50:02 – Talk smoothly segues into a very spoilerific (and a little heated) discussion about Prometheus, so skip ahead if you haven’t seen the film yet. Despite the characters’ gimmicks, a lack of payoff to Alien, and some frustration with the story, it comes highly recommended. See it in IMAX if possible, and the 3D is used exceptionally well. The guys also get into the apparent problems 3D causes the human eye.
01:17:58 – With the current term YOLO popping its head up all over twitter, the guys take to task the existential buffoons that fall far it.

01:28:04 – Vince went to a crazy Christian wedding over the weekend where the groom sang some interesting lyrics. Some other religions get talked about. The guys wonder if Samuel L. Jackson has become the Al Pacino of his generation.

This week we talk to Denis Belliveau, who recreated Marco Polo’s journey over a 2 year period. He has some amazing stories from his travels. Then we talk to Laremy about Snow White and Fantasy Box Office.

00:02:38 – Special guest Denis Bellveau is a travel photographer who in 1994, with a friend, retraced Marco Polo’s journey on its 700th anniversary. The trip took 2 years to plan, and 2 years to execute. They each used 24 visas, some forged, or snuck into countries while not using any aircraft. They started the 30,000 mile trip in Venice. Denis talks about traveling through countries in civil wars, historical sights that were destroyed or missing, how the UN became their cultural backers, having their phones tapped in police states, and the openness of the people of Central Asia.
00:26:30 – Vince brings up the camel journey through western China, and how the camels regurgitate their stomach. Denis discusses how the time in Mongolia was like stepping back in Marco Polo’s time, which was a highlight since the whole trip was trying to recreate that journey. He also talks about food poisoning, an interesting lamb stew, circumcision parties, how not to hitchhike in Turkey, and getting arrested in Iran.
00:47:40 – The trip was completed in 1995, but the movie about the trip didn’t come out until 2008. Denis and his friend initially tried to get a book deal but were rejected by several publishers. They thought a book deal would lead to a movie, but when Macs and Final Cut Pro came along they decided to work on the movie themselves. There is an interesting story about the time Polo was imprisoned that led to mythical creatures being incorporated into his stories. Denis now travels to schools to inspire kids to get off their asses and explore.
01:00:08 – Laremy joins the Frotcast after the whole G.I. Joe debacle to get a replacement pick for the Fantasy Film Box Office. His new pick, The Watch, gets picked out of a hat (or Vince’s bike helmet). Both Vince and Laremy saw Snow White and the Huntsman, which they found to be dumb and boring, and lacking any redeeming qualities. Although, Vince loved K-Stew’s Braveheart speech, and wished the dwarves were part of the selling part. Laremy also saw Safety Not Guaranteed with Aubrey Plaza and Mark Duplass. There is some Boogie Nights talk, Mr. Vince pops up again, and Laremy details what he has been up to recently.
01:22:18 – Vince reads one of Bret’s cunty responses to an email, and the guys talk about douchey comments and fake internet rage. A listener has a life changing experience with the Monkey Scoop technique.

Drunk On!
