But we are now back in production with season 5 of Mad Men, a few episodes in the can and a bunch of recording dates scheduled.
In the meantime, here are all the Draper D-Stories from seasons 1-4 of Mad Yourself A Man. Every song all in one place!
See you all next week!

WE HAVE STARTED RECORDING NEW EPISODES OF MAD YOURSELF A MAN! SO DON'T YOU WORRRY!
In the meantime, here's this weeks Frotcast.
---
In Brief: We watched 'Obsession!' Plus, joining the dead-dad club, Trump re-blockading the Strait of Hormuz blockade, Mitch McConnell joins live for 20 minutes, and the World Cup.
In Detail:
Welcome to A Very Special Frotcast. Vince’s dad sadly passed away this week, so Vince and the fellas reminisce about the man himself. Did he get to honk a boob before he shuffled off his mortal coil? You betcha. What higher compliment can you give a man than to say he died as he lived, watching The Big Bang Theory. 
Also dead, the Iran cease fire agreement. The blockade we were blockading was previously un-blockaded but is now being re-blockaded. So the deal is off, after previously being on and off, prior to it also being on and then off. I’m starting to think this Donald Trump guy isn’t totally forthcoming in his communications!
Not dead, however (maybe), is Schrodinger’s Wildcat, Kentucky’s own Mitch McConnell. He’s in the hospital after a reported cardiac arrest at his home. Fortunately, the GOP is on the case; they’ve all apparently spoken with him in suspiciously consistent 20-minute blocks of time, but his comms team is being cagey about his current condition. Fortunately we’ve secured an exclusive interview with him, where he opens up to us about life, love, loss, and Andy Dufresne.
Next up, the lads talk World Cup. Cheers for Egypt-Argentina, jeers for Switzerland-Colombia. Apparently the Swiss and Colombians watched the wall-to-wall action that was Egypt-Argentina and said “fuck that noise”. What proceeded was what can only be described as a home run derby with soccer balls. And did they ever send ‘em to the upper deck! This was a crime against fútbol and we will be boycotting the sport for four years, starting after this tournament.
Finally, this week we watched the new obsession everyone’s obsessing over, Obsession. It really brought Matt back to the days of having an unhealthy relationship with a different person that is not his current wife. Vince wanted to see the protagonist act more assertively due to no longer having a strong male figure in his life, but Matt and Brendan thought it was one of the best horror movies to come out recently. Run, don’t walk, to go see this B+ of a movie.

Inside of you are two Hitlers. At least, that's the basic premise of Max (2002), a movie about a young Hitler just trying to find his voice as an artist, before all the... well, you know. We watched it for the Frotcast this week, because last week, Matt made a joke about "why don't they make a movie about Hitler, without all the Holocaust stuff?" We had been talking about Michael, a movie that depicts the life of Michael Jackson but ends before Bad. A few of our listeners (shout out to Zach Johnston) pointed out that, actually, Matt's Hitler-but-without-the-Holocaust-stuff-movie had already been made -- in 2002, starring Noah Taylor as young Adolf and John Cusack as his (fictional) friend, Max Rothman. And at least in this case, it was genuinely an artistic choice, not a concession that the filmmakers had to make in order to get the rights to Hitler's paintings from the Hitler estate.
Naturally, we had to watch it. It turned out to be endlessly funny, hearing one character constantly refer to another as "Hitler" in casual conversation. Such as in the iconic lines "Hitler, come on, I'll buy you a glass of lemonade," and "ever consider the future, Hitler?"
Anyway, if you ever wanted to see a movie that asks "What if young Hitler was being played by a goth McLovin and he made a friend who was Jim from The Office," then Max (2002) is definitely the movie for you. I think I liked it more than Jojo Rabbit.
After that, we discuss the California governor's race, and how we have like 17 different candidates, none of whom can give a straightforward answer to the very simple question "Is Israel doing a genocide?"
And the Dems still can't figure out why people might vote for Graham Platner. Gosh, who could say??? Maybe if they paid a consulting firm made up of discount Free Press writers six or seven hundred thousand dollars they could figure it out.
In conclusion, "you know Hitler, you're not an easy guy to like. ...But I'm trying."
