    Why is this GLoP different from all other GLoPs? Because on this GLoP, the principals discuss the future of the show and how to evolve it given their divergent interests.

So it was important that we did one this and not wait until the last few hours of November to put it out. That said, we can't ignore what's going on in the world right now, so this outing is er, long (no pun intended) on current events and short on the pop culture content. But there are plenty of laughs nonetheless, and (we hope) some insights and observations on current events.
