GLoP Culture Ricochet

This week, we discuss a rare IRL meeting of the GLoP crew on the occasion of the party that was held at the White Horse Tavern in Greenwich Village to remember Lucianne Goldberg. Then, for fans of the edgier side of GLoP, well, this is the show for you. That's all we'll say.

This morning we reunited the men of GLoP (that's JOnah Goldberg, John Podhoretz, and Rob Long for another jazz riff through pop culture and politics. This week: Minnesota accents, best NYC sitcoms, some Odd Couple punditry, and yes, some thoughts on why collecting items as a hobby is not a window into a person's soul. Also, one person on this podcast thinks Planet of The Apes is a bad movie. He's wrong.

This week, the men of GLoP ruminate on questions existential, political, pragmatic, and legal: John reveals his long ago brush with the law, Rob admits he's a union man, and Jonah ponders this podcast as a 5 day a week commitment.

Raquel Welch passes, F-Troop becomes relevant again, were TV series better 30 years ago, why you should watch comedian Steven Wright’s epic debut on The Tonight Show in, and Rob tells a joke. Sort of. Source

This month, the men of GLoP recall some highly unusual and unforgettable celebrity sightings, ruminate on TV remakes and the lack of variety shows, cool culture then and now, some Oscar predictions, some observations about Israel (where Rob was GLoP-casting from), and more. Source

The men of GLoP return (finally) for their traditional end of the year Christmas muisic and dance spectacular. We’ve got an overview of European commode technology (really!), Rob remembers Kirstie Alley, and then taking advantage of Rob’s underperforming bandwidth, Jonah and John geek out on Avatar 2: The Way of Water and Andor. You snooze, you lose, Rob. Source
