GLoP Culture

You may have heard that Jonah’s mother, Lucianne Goldberg, has passed. He’s out today, but John and Rob pay their respects to the tough broad, and lament the near extinction of genuine eccentrics like her. After admiring the life-of-the-party in the corner, they move on to the ‘town square’ and ponder Elon Musk’s revival of something that never really existed. They also think pop artists should...

We’ve got 2/3rds of a GLoP for you this month as John Podhoretz logs in from the back of an Uber in NYC –well, for about 1/3rd of the show. We cover Breaking Bad, why the NY State AG’s case against Trump is a sham (yes, they defend Trump on this one), a hard look at the MetaVerse and various other jokes, observations, anecdotes and giggles.

It’s late in the month and that means it’s time for another romp through pop culture, ephemera, and tales of travel. This week: Rob has a Midnight Express moment, Jonah wants to check into a movie themed hotel, and John once had a girlfriend with a mysterious past. Source

Sing us a song, you’re the men of GLoP… from Margaritaville to Brandy… where everyone is gay and everyone is Jewish (There is a logical explanation here!) and where they dish on FDR, homophobic telescopes and the Dutch. While we were recording we heard the news of Ivana Trump’s passing and that leads to an interesting vocabulary discussion, one that you might say is iconic for this program... Source

Hey oh, the men of GLoP are back (despite predictions to the contrary in certain quarters). We’re not going to spoil any of the topics discussed within, but you will laugh (repeatedly), you might cry, and you may even learn a thing or two. Source

What in the wide, wide world of sports is going on around here? The Mighty Men of GLoP are on the case as “woke” ideology meets “stupid money” meets an industry that has started to reach its maturity. Then the new Judd Apatow... Source

The men of GLoP are (finally) back and this week, they discuss their celebrity encounters, delve into Amber Heard, Johnny Depp, and the ACLU, the tale of Twitter and Elon Musk, and more. Source

It’s a fairly rare event these days when an event in the pop culture realm becomes something everyone has a take on. But that’s what happened earlier this week when Will Smith launched the Slap Heard ‘Round The World and as such, the men of GLoP answered our Bat Signal and recorded this show. But they don’t just opine on the Fresh Prince’s pugilism. They take a look back at the career of Bruce... Source

We know that we’ve missed a GLoP or two in the past few months. So in an effort to make up for lost GLoPs, we present this super-sized edition, close to 90 minutes long. We won’t delve into the myriad of topics covered in this show except to say it runs the gamut from a brief history of cable, William Hurt and his many flaws, Skeet Ulrich, The Godfather, Brando, the woman who protested the Ukraine...

This week, the men of GLoP remember a friend and someone who they admired from a far. P.J. O’Rourke, the great humorist, satirist, author, editor of National Lampoon, car enthusiast, and all around good guy was a friend to all the guys and they trade their stories and thoughts on his passing. None of the guys knew Ivan Reitman, but as the director of Ghostbusters, Twins, Kindergarten Cop... Source
