  • 90s Cartoons, True Loves & The Loss of Shame | GORP Podcast
    Aug 20 2025

    This week on GORP, the randomizer serves up pure chaos—starting with a nostalgic trip back to the 90s cartoons that shaped our humor, creativity, and fan obsessions. The crew reflects on how those wild characters influenced today’s storytelling and why some of us still get misty-eyed when hearing a theme song from childhood.

    From there, the conversation swerves into the messy world of social media, where shame disappeared years ago, and everyone’s hot take is louder than the last. Along the way, they dig into the many forms of love (because it doesn’t always have to be about people), those times we take life way too seriously, and of course our favorite segment: driving frustrations.

    It’s classic GORP: random, funny, a little deep, and completely unfiltered.
