GLoP Culture

Terrible People

If you came for structure, coherence, or basic human decency—wrong podcast. In this unhinged episode of GLoP Culture, Rob Long, Jonah Goldberg [https://chatgpt//generic-entity?number=0], and John Podhoretz wander from a cornhole champion murder story to Helen Keller trutherism, pausing only to take gratuitous swings at Gandhi, Princess Diana, and basically anyone history has been too polite to re-examine. Along the way: deeply suspect jokes, aggressively niche cultural references, unsolicited architecture criticism, and a surprising amount of time spent litigating the moral failures of long-dead public figures. There is no thesis. There is no arc. There is only digression.

Puzzles and Recipes

It’s February, the weather is trying to kill us, the garbage hasn’t been picked up, and somehow this leads—inevitably—to Frank Sinatra insulting his fans, Catherine O’Hara being a comic genius for half a century, the Washington Post lighting itself on fire, and the uncomfortable possibility that puzzles and recipes are the last functioning pillar of American journalism. Also Jeffrey Epstein and a trio of off-color jokes. Obviously.

Funny Bad

What starts as a polite podcast immediately face-plants into profanity, pop-culture archaeology, and three grown men asking the most important question of our time: What would TJ Hooker do? From ventriloquists on the radio to Emmy-night humiliation rituals, from ICE raids and clerical angst to Scooby-Doo’s latent homicidal potential. Along the way, our hosts lovingly argue about bad uniforms, worse TV, feral cats, frozen smiles, Hollywood’s slow collapse, and why every great American moral crisis can (and should) be resolved by referencing Columbo, All in the Family, or a half-remembered episode of Different Strokes.

Dessert First

Welcome to another episode of GLoP, America’s only podcast where three grown men debate television, theology, demon scratch marks, and the cultural meaning of Mr. Ed — all while Rob Long eats shrimp noodles into a muted microphone.  On this outing, demonology, alien hive minds, and whether Pluribus is actually a right-wing parable about American exceptionalism disguised as a friendly invasion of body-snatching Marxist Care Bears. Also, the deeply important question of why Hollywood produced a series of Talking Mule movies, and what that has to do with Clint Eastwood, and why turkey Peking Duck is the greatest Thanksgiving delicacy.

Bad Bosses In The Bible

After a brief hiatus, GLoP is back and, well, not much has changed: John can’t remember the month, Rob’s in Los Angeles for reasons unknown, and Jonah is courageously trying to keep the conversation somewhere near coherence. The trio tackle vital topics like bad bosses (biblical and otherwise), forgotten ’70s variety shows, why The Blues Brothers is accidentally beautiful, and how nostalgia has officially gone off the rails. Somewhere along the way, there’s circumcision talk, theological tangents, and at least three references no one under fifty will understand. In short: classic GLoP — smart, ridiculous, and slightly embarrassed of itself.
