“Which one’s Jim?” “Come on man” I’m dying, you guys crack me up ❤️

lmao I just received an email from the American Cinematheque in Los Angeles inviting me to the "Greg Proops Film Club screening of Charley Varrick." Just my luck, "Program begins with a live recording of the Greg Proops Film Club Podcast"! Think I could sneak in after it's over? Anyway I would have no idea who he is if I hadn't listened to your episode just this morning.

Good-ass movie, AND you get to see the God of Laughter, Greg Proops, in person. Sounds like the perfect night! -WS

“People make fun of Stevie Wonder’s music but not Boston’s” is such an incredible comedic premise

For a while, whenever you guys said 'Don' I heard it as 'Dawn' and assumed the character was a woman, with Dawn, Maggie and Jim in a bisexual love triangle. Which I think would've been an interesting development on Sorkin's part.

Oddly, former Rolling Stone owner Jann Wenner did not attend either Woodstock or Altamont.

My sister and I started listening to “The Smartest Man in the World,” Greg Proops’s comedy podcast, around 2010. As Bay Area residents, we loved Proop’s constant hyper-local references. As Gen-Xers, we loved his constant 70s and 80s references. We were probably Greg Proops’s biggest fans until CoVid hit. We have seen him do his famous New Year’s sets at the Punchline in San Francisco about three years and caught live tapings of the “Smartest Man” podcast about twice. In addition to this, we’ve caught his “Whose LIVE” show (get it?) at our local community theatre and another comedy show in Sacramento a few years ago where he began showing signs of becoming the monster that is spoken of in this podcast. He has REALLY changed. Sad face emoji.

PLEASE DO THE GREG PROOPS EPISODE

The “whites bad, brown people good” lib posturing is like those people who believe all of the antisemitic tropes but think that it means that Jews are awesome.

Does Proops have a Bong Hit Transplant in him?

Just FYI Luke, the plotline on this episode is Sorkin’s take on the CNN ‘Operation Tailwind’ scandal of the late 90s, where the Pentagon was accused of using Sarin nerve gas against American defectors during a covert operation in Laos. Naturally, it all blew up in CNN’s face, but that doesn’t mean it didn’t happen. So yes, you were right to think this ‘Newsroom’ story would blow up in ABN’s faces too. In that sense it is historically accurate.

Friggin’ white peoples just don’t get it …. 😌😂
