We’re on our new Frotcast server this week, so hopefully the show should load sexily fast for you all this week. As for the show itself, we brought back everyone’s favorite conspiracy theorist/video game multi-world record holder/San Francisco comedian Jason Dove. The Dove man takes us deep into conspiracy land again, from which we occasionally crawl out to discuss our favorite sports comedies and sports movies in general. Fun! Community!

UPCOMING SHOWS: FEBRUARY 27th AT THE HOLLYWOOD IMPROV WITH MARIA BAMFORD, PAUL SCHEER, GREG FITZSIMMONS, DAVE ANTHONY, AND JOE KING/SINCLITICO! If you miss this you are an asswad. Tickets here.

March 1st, Jason Dove helps Eddie Winters record the world’s longest podcast – 25 HOURS STRAIGHT! Be there.

This week on the Frotcast, we welcome back San Francisco comedian/bon vivant Jason Dove, who, in addition to being the holder of 17 arcade world records, is quite the JFK assassination buff. He tells about the recent event he hosted featuring Lee Harvey Oswald’s former girlfriend (who currently lives in hiding in Croatia) and the son of E. Howard Hunt, as well as offering background on competing conspiracy theories. This naturally leads to other, crazier conspiracies, such as David Icke’s Lizard Theory, Alex Jones on Piers Morgan, the hollow Earth, and the episode of Jesse Ventura’s Conspiracy Theory about Humanzees. Jason and Brendan trade Ventura impressions. And from there? You guessed it, poop stories.

IMPORTANT USER PARTICIPATION: What would you like to hear on the best-of 2012 Frotcast? Tell us in the comments.

UPCOMING SHOWS: I’ll be doing comedy at Milk Bar on January 29th as part of SF Sketchfest. Jason Dove will be at the Punchline in San Francisco on Wednesday January 16th.

Well, everyone, it’s Thanksgiving, and we celebrate, as is traditional, with lazily-posted themed supercuts and kitsch music videos while I tend to my ravioli sauce (a Thanksgiving without raviolis is no Thanksgiving at all). Just a quick note to say that I’m thankful for all of you glorious bastards who keep reading this site every day and save me from having to work in some crappy office somewhere (they may not know it, but that office is thankful too). You are the salt of the Earth, and I will fight anyone who talks bad about you, even small children. So good health to you and yours.

If you plan to see a movie with the fam as a way to keep from shouting at each other for a few hours (we all know the feeling), here’s a guide to our most recent reviews:

Life of Pi, B

Red Dawn (Laremy’s review), F

Silver Linings Playbook, B

Lincoln, B-

Flight, D+

Cloud Atlas, C+

The Sessions, B+

Alex Cross (Laremy), F

Seven Psychopaths, C

Argo, B+

Noticing a theme to the movies I make Laremy review? Oh, and if you plan on not leaving your couch (always an attractive option), here’s Morton’s most recent guide to DVD and streaming.

IF YOU DO PLAN ON LEAVING YOUR COUCH: Our friend Jason Dove is moderating a JFK 49th anniversary discussion (did you know that was today?) tonight at the Roxie Theater in San Francisco, where they’ll be screening a director’s cut of JFK and talking to guests like Lee Harvey Oswald’s girlfriend at the time of the assassination, and E. Howard Hunt’s eldest son. It should be wild.

Now, sing it with me: Mashed potatoes… AY! Drumstick microphones to all on this day.

You ever know a guy a while and think you know him, and then one day he starts telling crazy stories about himself and you realize you’ve only scratched the surface? I’d known this week’s guest, Jason Dove, as a funny comedian in the local San Francisco scene, but until about a week ago, I never knew that he also holds 17 videogame records (that’s him above, with King of Kong’s Billy Mitchell and Twin Galaxies), owned an arcade, played in some rock bands, and has bought cocaine for numerous rock stars, some of them now dead. This week, we had a ton of fun with Jason, talked Fantasy Summer Box Office, played Manswers Roulette, and played a few fun clips. I think it’s a pretty solid episode. Enjoy.
