287: Drew Magary, Crying Jordan, and The Legend of LaDasha
This week, we talk about the legend of LaDasha (the apocryphal little girl named La-a), the Crying Jordan meme, and welcome GQ/Deadspin columnist Drew Magary, who tells us about his Chopped win, thumb dance, his new book, and whether I can blame him for the rise of Donald Trump. Hey! Leave us reviews on iTunes! We need them to leave!

2:05 - The peculiarly pervasive legend of LaDasha.

4:00 - We asked our listeners for a "previously on the Frotcast" montage, and they came through.

7:15 - Back to LaDasha. Did Key & Peele try to pass off LaDasha as real thing that happened, or was it a knowing reference to the dumb legend they were making fun of? Discuss.

13:20 - Drew Magary of GQ and Deadspin joins us via Skype. We discuss the Crying Jordan meme, Drew's now-famous Chopped win (and accompanying thumb dance), and his new book, The Hike (you can order now on Amazon!).

49:16 - Batman Returns, and the guy who played Lattimer in The Program doing an incredible Christopher Walken impression the entire movie.

1:05:15 - The story of the six-year-olds writing the Zootopia critic about ruining the Tomatometer

1:16:06 - The story of the scientists who discovered that people are turned on by robot privates.
