Anyone see that meme going around about Paul Ryan driving off listening to Papa Roach? Justin Halpern made that, as a joke, as a callback to an old story he told on the Frotcast, but everyone wanted to believe it so much that it quickly went viral. This week on the Frotcast, we talk to Justin about the origin and the aftermath, and what it’s like having your dumb joke critiqued by the New York Times and the Washington Post, and being cussed out by an ethics professor. Comedians Allison Mick and Matt Lieb join Vince Mancini from FilmDrunk in studio. Other topics include Chappelle’s specials (and possible problematicness), public shaming, and remembering Chuck Barris by watching Confessions of a Dangerous Mind.
