Ricochet is the best place on the internet to discuss the issues of the day, either through commenting on posts or writing your own for our active and dynamic community in a fully moderated environment. In addition, the Ricochet Audio Network offers over 50 original podcasts with new episodes released every day.
This past Saturday evening marked a seminal moment in the often sordid history of the mighty GLoP podcast: our first virtual Night Owl captured on video, recorded live in front of an audience of thousands, enforced upon us by the covenants of social distancing. This is the audio of the event (the video is here on Ricochet and behind the paywalls at The Dispatch and Commentary). As foretold by the elders, this podcast does contain some adult language, drinking, and juvenile jokes. In other words, it’s a GLoP.

I think Woody Allen had a routine about that: every public issue met with the question, “Is it good for the Jews?”
“Building a new overpass.” “Is it good for the Jews?”
More so than other ethnic groups? Well, maybe. Other ethnic groups aren’t as heavily represented among public intellectuals.
Which is clearly racist, these days.

Everyone’s a little bit racist, it’s true
But everyone is just about as racist as you
If we all could just admit that we are racist a little bit
And everyone stopped being so P.C.
Maybe we could live in harmony
Evlyone’s a ritter bit lacist

I can’t speak for JPod’s vision, but I recognized Gene Hackman’s voice in “Young Frankenstein.”
