Unisex GLoP

Reality Is Too Weird

And the Winner Is . . .
Since our last show was recorded on location at political ground zero (at least for that week) and was almost all about the race, the men of GLoP insisted that for this show we throw politics to the side of the road and riff on whatever comes to mind. That includes a long windup to the start of the show (Rob insisted we keep it in) their favorite books, how to fix Twitter, The Walking Dead... Source

A Micro Dose of GLoP
It’s the end of the year, the eve of the debut of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, and the start of the primary season. That means the men of GLoP must fire up their Skype and bring their punditry skills to bear. This month, a mediation on what it means to be a member of the “establishment.” Suffice to say, it has a very different meaning than it did 40 years ago. Also, some thoughts about guns... Source

Looking for a Mob
With so much going on in politics and the culture, at the moment, there was a bounty of topics to choose from for this episode, but with our characteristic discipline, we stuck to a recap of last night’s debate, the bizarre events at the University of Missouri and Yale, and some free GLoP media consulting for the remaining Republican presidential candidates. The boys close with some of their... Source

Is Trump’s super power that he’s impervious to all gaffes? Would you go back in time and kill the baby Hitler? Who’s the real villain in Star Wars, the Empire or the Jedi? And a mini review of the hit Broadway show Hamilton (the closing... Source
