It's a fairly rare event these days when an event in the pop culture realm becomes something everyone has a take on. But that's what happened earlier this week when Will Smith launched the Slap Heard 'Round The World and as such, the men of GLoP answered our Bat Signal and recorded this show. But they don't just opine on the Fresh Prince's pugilism. They take a look back at the career of Bruce Willis on the announcement of his retirement from acting, parse Madison Cawthorn's claim that he regularly attends orgies and explain the proper etiquette if one should find oneself at such an event, and then they tell a few jokes that may not be 100% family friendly. Consider yourself and your children warned.

On the subject of the lives celebrities live today and not being able to go to restaurants, I think this is another casualty of social media. I can remember going to Chasen’s many times in the late 80’s and early 90’s with my parents. Somehow, we always had a booth in the front, and not only did I regularly see George Burns at the front booth, but the lineup of booths one night was literally: George Burns, opposite booth Barbara Eden, next booth Frank & Barbara Sinatra with Gregory & Veronique Peck, then weirdly, us, and Jimmy Stewart having dinner with friends across from us. Everyone could go out and live their lives. Billy Wilder at a sidewalk cafe table. Ann Miller at the drugstore. This was the Hollywood version of normal. They were able to live their lives in relative peace and were a helluva lot more famous than Will Smith will ever be.

This hasn’t shown up in the feed on my pocketcasts app yet. Is there an issue?
