About this episode
The episode features a free-association discussion on various cultural topics, including Trump, late-night television, and pharmaceutical ads.
John Podhoretz, Jonah Goldberg, and Rob Long er, "ricochet" from Trump potentially skipping his son’s wedding to the collapse of late-night television, the strange death of black-tie culture, the rise of “Technogerd” pharmaceutical ads, and whether the future belongs to GLP-1 drugs, Episcopalians, or Chinese vertical dramas. Along the way: Jane Fonda at the Chinese Theatre, yacht-rock pedophilia lyrics, the comedy gold of the JPMorgan sex-lawsuit texts, Netflix sitcoms, empty Manhattan churches, Johnny Carson’s killer instinct, and the immortal phrase “Fiddla Please.” It’s a classic free-association GLoP: equal parts cultural criticism, showbiz war stories, theological detour, and middle-aged panic attack — all powered by Dongfang energy and sustained by propofol-grade banter.
