Cooking for the ‘Event’

Subscribe to GLoP CultureSubscribe

This week on the mighty GLoP podcast the guys take everything with an abundance of caution and taped our show without a studio audience (which is what we do 97% of the time anyway) and riff on the current state of the COVID-19 situation, the way Trump and his Administration is handling it and what it all means down the road.

All that and a special rendition of one of our favorites, Baby Got Back.

Hosts:

    I had to stop listening. I stomached the first 30 minutes, but by then it was too much like the "mainstream media" that is more interested in bashing the President than in working toward actual solutions and answers. The hosts' insistence on picking apart the exact wording of a President we know is perennially inexact in his wording, while utterly refusing to acknowledge the politicians and opposition media to willfully misinterpret and misconstrue anything the Administration says or does for the sole purpose of continuing the effort to bring down the President is evidence that either the hosts are too insulated in the media bubble, or are willfully ignorant. This episode (at least the first 30 minutes I could bear to listen to) was way beyond fair commentary. All about trashing the President. Nothing about trying to find solutions. Terrible show.

    I fast forwarded through that part. It was funny to hear Rob say that everyone wants the President to do well. CNN is rooting for the virus and wanting the economy to tank so Biden can win.

    You had to hear opinions you disagree with? Thoughts and prayers.
