He's out today, but John and Rob pay their respects to the "tough broad" and lament the near extinction of one-of-a-kind people like her.

Sing us a song, you're the men of GLoP... from Margaritaville to Brandy... where everyone is gay and everyone is Jewish (There is a logical explanation here!) and where they dish on FDR, homophobic telescopes and the Dutch.

None of the guys knew Ivan Reitman, but as the director …
This is an eclectic episode to be sure. We start with a review of Wednesday’s presidential press conference and center on how Joe Biden sees himself.

After the “war,” we get the “remembrance…” Sidney …
