Summary

Welcome to another episode of GLoP, America’s only podcast where three grown men debate television, theology, demon scratch marks, and the cultural meaning of Mr. Ed — all while Rob Long eats shrimp noodles into a muted microphone. On this outing, demonology, alien hive minds, and whether Pluribus is actually a right-wing parable about American exceptionalism disguised as a friendly invasion of body-snatching Marxist Care Bears. Also, the deeply important question of why Hollywood produced a series of Talking Mule movies, and what that has to do with Clint Eastwood, and why turkey Peking Duck is the greatest Thanksgiving delicacy.
