OK, fair warning: we're in week 10 or so of this lockdown thing, and the men of GLoP are getting a bit punchy. Add to that some technical issues and being a punching bag in certain quarters, and well, you get a very shall we say, eccentric show. How so? Well, as you'll hear, we abandon the first take and start the show all over again about ten minutes in. And in the interests of transparency (and comedy) we left our screws-ups in (well, most of them). We cover a range of topics (including this YouTube video tracking hit TV shows of the past 60 years) and go down a host of tangents -- too many to list and spoil here. What we can tell you is that you'll laugh, you'll marvel at some middle aged juvenile jokes, you may be offended, and you'll definitely learn a lot about fly and zipper technology. We did.

    Oh great. Another GLOP that I had to give up on as three people who have learned nothing about the President in the last 3 and a half years prove there ignorance.

    I do agree with Rob when he basically rolled his eyes knowing that there is no way this was going to end well.

    I will try your show again in a few episodes maybe you will have learned by then.

    With all the PSAs telling me to "Stop, drop, and roll" as a child, I expected to catch on fire at some point in my life.

    The mattress tag removal was a staple of comedy growing up and I've heard it some within the last year. It was funny until I read the tag and what the penalty actually is.

    Adam Carolla has talked about it and I think the GLoP guys have as well that souffle humor was a go-to sitcom gag for a while.

    Jonah and Jon observed and did detailed studies during the last Presidential election on why Trump was never going to make it. Jon confidently predicted the end of the Trump Presidency when the special counsel was appointed and they have been collectively wrong each time. Their horror over the last Trump Tweet thing is similar...out here in Fly Over Country Biden's "you ain't Black" comment is still a thing(a big thing) and no one (NO ONE) has any idea about the Trump Tweet on Scarborough or would care much if they did. They live in their own bubble and like a lot of theorists they seem to be good on theory but not so good on what actually is happening. They are being left behind by events and are so stuck in the mounds of their experience and knowledge that their ability to cope with a different environment is limited - non existent.
