An Iconic Episode

Subscribe to GLoP CultureSubscribe

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, especially if you're even vaguely familiar with our canon.

Then we baffle the kids with stories of Dom DeLuise, Rodney Dangerfield, Jackie Gleason, Larry Storch and director James Burrows.

This whole episode smells terrific!

    What is the name of the book? Too much cross talk.

    I’ll never listen to Piano Man the same again.

    I think Rob has mentioned that theory before. Either here or on the flagship podcast.

    Always thought that the part about "what are you doing here?" was saying that the pianist was too talented to be playing in a dive bar.

    What bugs me is that few radio stations play the full version of the song, that and The Eagles' "Lyin' Eyes" is the other big example.
