Between Trevor Noah's interview with Tomi Lahren and Adult Swim cancelling Million Dollar Extreme Presents: World Peace (because of its alleged association with the alt-right), we wondered, can comedy exist between political enemies? Moreover, if you find someone's views objectionable, is it better to engage them or ostracize them? Do you win hearts and minds or deny a platform? We cover Adult Swim, Brett Gelman, Sam Hyde, and Buzzfeed; and Van Jones on engaging Trump Voters. After that we get silly again, with another installment of the Royalty Freestyle and a brief discussion of the Westworld finale. Guests include comedians Matt Lieb and Joey Avery. 00:00 - 5:00 - Trying to explain to Matt the ol' make-people-think-two-guys-are-sitting-right-next-to-each-other-on-a-bench-seat joke. 6:10 - Talking Adult Swim cancelling Million Dollar Extreme: World Peace supposedly because of its association with the Alt-Right11:00 - Van Jones explaining why we should talk to Trump supporters: is it applicable to this Adult Swim thing? 29:10 - Sam Hyde's Buzzfeed interview44:21 - Our parents' generation being totally ill-equipped to deal with clickbait52:00 - The Royalty Freestyle, which begins with song about Levi's jeans1:00:00 - Westworld Finale talk

This week on the Frotcast, Brendan, Matt, and Bret are off, but Jen Yamato from the Daily Beast and Evan Saathoff from Birth, Movies, Death are on the line to discuss 'Army of One,' this week's Nic Cage release. Is this Nic Cage's craziest performance to date? What other movies are in the conversation? What the hell is going on with this bizarre movie? We also discuss Gary Faulkner, the real-life "Rocky Mountain Rambo" upon whom the movie was based, and his life traveling to Pakistan to hunt Osama Bin Laden while on dialysis. Also, the fact that Nic Cage's insane voice in Army of One sounds nothing like Gary Faulkner's. Enjoy.
