Tired of the toxicity of social media? Why not join Ricochet for just $5/month? Think of it as an online bar. Come in, have a drink, hang out, say whatever you want. But don’t badger, bully, or berate the other drinkers. That's our only rule.
Rob Long and John Podhoretz man the good ship GLoP themselves this week (Jonah will return for next week's show) as Rob confesses he did not actually know the etymology of the word (OK, it's not actually a word) GLoP. He also tells a story about that time at French wedding, the punchline of which is not to be missed. Then, a discussion of Blazing Saddles, a French author who would have been mercilessly teased in grade school, the trials and tribulations of Steve Bannon, what it's like to talk to really rich guys, and of course....LIZA. With A Z.
Update: As some of you pointed out in the comments, we had a technical error with the version of this show posted earlier today. OK, it wasn't technical -- it was a stupid mistake made very late last night after a very long day. Regardless, we regret the error and it has now been fixed. To get the new version, delete the one on your device and re-download this episode. It's worth it -- we promise.

Is is just me, or is there ~2 minutes of dead air in the middle of this episode?

Are you sure you don't mean Balzer?

No. Honoré de Balzac. He was a French author and is probably best remembered as being the punchline in Meredith Willson's "Pickalittle (Talk-a-Little)" from The Music Man.

But he's not a Ricochet member like @MattBalzer.

Balzac would be so much better known if he had been a Ricochet member.
