This week on the Frotcast, San Francisco comedian Matt Lieb rejoins us in the Frotquarters for more movie talk and the return of “Dueling Chest Voices.” He recently got dumped so he needs a friend. We talk about the wonderful world of online dating, and what Stephen Jenkins thought about Matt talking about him on the last Frotcast. Lieb and I went on a man-date to Man of Steel, so we talk about that, and our favorite slow-motion scenes in general. Then Burnsy comes on to talk about the naked BART man, the sad decline and reverse aging of Matty B, and play us his new song of the Summer (must-watch video below). Then we answer your question about “troll pooping.” Wouldn’t “poop trolling” be more accurate? Who knows.
THIS WEEK’S DISCOVERY: Ralph Fiennes’ middle name is “Twisleton.”

Here’s the story and video of the Naked BART Man, the video of which is NSFW.
The man was identified by BART police as 24-year-old Yeiner Garizabalo. Friends said Tuesday he goes by Yeiner Perez and is a dedicated acrobat and performer. The episode, they said, was strongly out of character.
“He’s been through a lot of stress — he seems to have been having a breakdown,” said Slim Chance, who leads the Berkeley circus troupe ClownSnotBombs. Perez was a member from January to early May. “That seems to be the tip of it right there. I just can’t tell you anything more because I don’t really know what his state is. It’s not at all like his normal character.”
Chance said Perez, normally a “workaholic acrobat,” stopped showing up to the group’s practices several days before the episode.
“I don’t think it was anything with drugs,” Chance said. “I don’t know. We’re thinking he may have even had a stroke sometime last year. We’ve been trying to piece it together ourselves.”
“Clown Snot Bombs,” yo. If you can’t get an insightful take from Berkeley circus performer Slim Chance, where can you get one.
