GLoP Culture - Podcast Rankings and reviews

You know the “if you could have dinner with any three people…” game. The best bang for your buck would be putting on the napkin with the title characters of GLoP. Their wisdom, sense of fun, and knowledge of the arcane makes this, without question, the best podcast in the world. I’m not a big talker, and would not likely get a word in edgewise. So forget dinner, and sit down for the best listen around.

Can’t recommend highly enough; each host is funnier than the next. Rob’s stories and John’s rants are highlights - thought John’s story about being with a group interviewing Biden is a classic.

I enjoy listening to this monthly podcast and usually do not leave reviews until now. The McDonald’s case regarding the lady dropping coffee on her lap is one of the most misunderstood cases of all time. It takes about 5 minutes to read the case instead of live reading it and trying to make jokes about it to understand what really happened. This poor lady’s reputation has wrongly been made the butt of all jokes since the 90s. She never made any money from the case because she died before the verdict had been settled after McDonald’s appeal. In addition, she was originally only seeking costs for medical expenses, not multiple millions of dollars. McDonald’s is a multi billion dollar company that in the end became more popular and only had to pay about 15 minutes of its coffee sales in one day as retribution to their insanely hot coffee at the time.

Love the focus on pop culture. They play off each other well. Love it that it can incorporate things as Diverse as Odd Couple tv show to contemporary Movies. Maybe John should add some more sport into the culture debates!

I became tired of Goldberg and Podhorivitz laughing at their own jokes. Rob Long is still entertaining so I just listen to a weekly podcast he has. Ten minutes of his observational humor and stories. Short but very good.
