Welcome to GPL’s Season 2 Episode 8!
👉🏽 This daily podcast is free, but if you’d like, please buy Jalon some coffee. She can’t do these newsletters and podcasts without it! (Seriously).
In This Episode…
We discuss traveling to beautiful places and having meals we cannot ever ever forget about, we talk about the lack of humanity in politics — and why we need it — and we talk about traveling the world and seeing humanity in headlines. We also yell at the Governor of Kentucky and liberals who for some reason are using AI even though Data Centers are very much the thing we are fighting against and do not love………..like, what are y’all doing?
There’s tears and laughs in this one, Kids!

I asked Joey about her favoritest meal — not the best thing she ever had, just when she reflected about the best meal what was it.
She picked a 6 hour dinner in Florence, Italy
And I picked a seaside meal in Santorini, Greece.
Man have we done life pretty well.
Tell us your favorite meal! 👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽

Final Thoughts on My Week in Palestine (From 2013)
I'm saddened by the people -- like some who post on this Facebook blog -- who are so hardened on one side or the other that they cannot allow themselves to find empathy with the society they consider the enemy.

And My God, do I miss Anthony Bourdain.
I wrote this the day he died….and repost it anytime I speak of him. I miss him more than one should having never met him. But that’s how much he has meant to me.
The fact we’ve allowed this to go on as long as it has — or even let it happen to begin with is insane. One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This, indeed.

Go See About HIM.
The fact they made a sequel, tickles me to this day.

GPL Presents: New Newsletter with Jalon Nichols
Every week, Jalon catches you up on what is going on out here, who is doing it, how does that impact your everyday life, and what everyone is saying about. We are based in Texas, so we have a lot of Texas news, but we cover the whole wide world. There is a LOT of stuff going on everyday, and no one can keep up with it all, but we attempt to….for you. (Clap for us).
