Contractually Obligated GLoP

Subscribe to GLoP CultureSubscribe

We know, we know: we just put out a GLoP a few days ago. But with Rob in Africa, Jonah trapped in Austin, and John wrapped up in selling merch, we were not able to pull one together earlier in an already short month, so we spent our Sunday morning creating premium content for you. Just some of the topics covered in this GLoP for the ages: the worst Jewish characters in movies, a look a the trials and tribulations of Andrew Cuomo and Anthony Fauci, we defend some maligned movies (h/t @jameslileks), and whatever you do, do not skip through the second spot. That's all we'll say about that.

    According to Rob Long, a group of hyenas is known as a “CPAC.” Seems strange to attack a good percentage of your listeners by comparing them to dangerous wild animals. Seeing as Jonah and John giggled like schoolgirls at the remark and it even got a rimshot, I guess we shouldn’t be surprised.

    Funny how some on the Right, even marginally as may be the case here, are far more vitriolic when it comes to those on their own side.

    My folks back in OK are on and off CPAC TV viewers....pro-life, voted for Trump with great reservations. They are Christians, hard working and kindhearted. No racism, no hyena behavior. (They’ve never ripped another animal to shreds with their teeth. Really!)

    I won’t bother with this podcast anymore, even when it’s promoted as just a pop culture podcast. I don’t require anyone to agree with my opinion - I’m more libertarian, don’t pay any attention to CPAC.

    Just my tuppence.

    One flaw I see with John's analysis of the Biden administration is the economy roaring back. Much like Obama's extended recovery, I think it will take a while to bounce back. Biden is already putting the boot back on the neck of the economy. Look how gas prices have soared.

    John: Is my contempt for St. Fauci justified?

    Yes. All Americans should hold him in contempt and Trump should have fired him in April. Once he admitted to lying to us that should have been the last of him.

    It's just a joke. It works because it ends in "pack" and goes along with the Rat Pack comment.

    How about an insomnia of wokesters?

    How about a postal of cancelers?

    Surprised to hear a Stitch Fix plug. My daughter introduced me to it and although I don't really need clothes it is like Christmas every time I get a fix, and I need a little excitement right now. You have no idea what they are going to send you and you get 5 items every time.
