Clowns Are Buoyant
Clowns are buoyant, which may explain how this podcast stays afloat. This month, Jonah, John, and Rob ponder the lousy-man theory of history, admire a podcast whose hosts actually do research, and demonstrate why seminary hasn’t made Rob any less cranky. Along the way: TV greatness, a…

Full-Tilt Boogie for Freedom, Justice, and Diarrhea
The GLoP crew celebrates America’s 250th birthday the only way they know how: by trying to name five movies that explain the country and somehow ending up in a ditch full of Fire Birds, Paper Moon, The Best Years of Our Lives, the mayor from Jaws, Mel Brooks at 100, Gila monsters, late-stage...

Dessert First

-
Barnyard Odors
Yep, it's another episode of GLoP, where three middle-aged men wander from topic to topic like your drunk uncles at Thanksgiving—except with more references to 1970s TV pilots and less pie. This week’s meandering odyssey covers the full spectrum: wiping Faye Dunaway’s… dignity, debating whether...
