Yeah, Willie D is the one I point new listeners to when I'm trying to sell them on the podcast. It's got it all.

I really and truly feel like the Dollop isn't deserving of picking one episode as the best. There are so many that are amazing to listen to, and deserve love. A top ten list barely scratches the surface. The Egg Nog riot, the Tank Chase, the Rainbow Man, the David Hahn ep, Rajneeshpuran, Oofty Goofty, the Kentucky Meat Shower, and those are all in like the first hundred. God drat are there some good Dollops.

PantsOptional posted:What's really weird to me is how Dave just sort of gives up and says "yeah, it turns out it was hot enough to cremate them after all." I get that he doesn't actually have a lead to follow up on, but that doesn't mean that the experts were wrong. I actually asked a friend who's a mortician and listens to the show, and 45 minutes in house fire temperatures is nowhere near enough - you'd absolutely have something left over that was recognizably human remains. No one's ever going to get to the bottom of this at this point, though, so all we have left are questions. It feels like people are overlooking the fact that the house collapsed. The kids were in the attic and the whole house collapsed into the basement. Take fragile burnt bones, drop them three stories, smash timbers on them, let them sit in smouldering ashes for several hours. There was a very cursory, half-hearted search that lasted two hours by people not trained in forensic examination for human remains, and then the site was bulldozed and infilled, possibly destroying anything that had survived. What the podcast didn't cover was that one of the oldest children who escaped originally said he went to physically wake his younger siblings, then later changed his story and claimed he didn't see them. It's impossible to be certain which version is true, but people tend to tell the truth first and then a sanitised version of events later - if, for instance, you feel guilty for not dragging your 6 and 8 year old sisters out the house when you fled, and what the information that you just them to fend for themselves might do to your parents. At which point it becomes much easier to convince yourself that you never saw them in their beds, and perhaps they weren't even in the house.

I forgot about this episode, it was real good. fun hater posted:the fine cotton scandal is up there too. And I don't even remember this episode, I'ma relisten. Count Dante was a really good ep. Thomas Kinkade was too. The Trojan Taco deserves special pointing out, it was an amazing fuckin' episode. Is the Hippo Bill the episode that had the line "NO SLEEP 'TILL HIPPO!" that should be one of everyone's favorite fuckin' Gary lines?

Goddamn, is their book not coming out until next May? I thought I'd get it as a Christmas gift for my brother to get him interested in the podcasts. Also, podcasts are like, gently caress, the hardest things to try and convince someone to give a try. If they don't already listen to other podcasts it is such a foreign thing to them that I feel like I'm in my own Dollop. You pretty much have to trick these luddites into an hour long car ride to get them to listen.

I finally got one friend hooked because he had a 14 hour drive and I wouldn't shut up about The Rube, but the rest of my friends think it's weird to listen to people talk I guess.

My brother likes history and comedy and drives for at least 90 minutes by himself everyday in a car that he has already linked his phone to. I suggest that he listen to The Dollop but he hears the word "Podcast" and his brain hits the wall. It's like when I finally won the 2-year long campaign to set Netflix and a Roku up for my parents and then they kept asking me how do they flip channels to "check what's on?"

Nobody ever takes my podcast recommendations until I started recommending the Dollop to road warriors and commuters at work. Always start them on The Rube, and I must have won over 15-20 people already.

At least the Dollop is easily available. I'm a big fan of The Worst Idea of All Time, and it's a podcast where it is definitely best to start from the beginning. I've converted a few people onto it but they've just removed the first season and put it up exclusively on a paid service. Sure there is a free trial, but try explaining what a podcast is and then after the person is interested explain that they just have to sign up for a trial with this service and then download the app just for this one podcast and you might as well not bother.

I started listening to podcasts a few years ago because John Oliver is awesome and I became curious about anything he might have done besides the Daily Show. So The Bugle was my gateway drug. Find someone a person already likes who has a podcast, and they'll be hooked in no time.

I've gotten back on board after dropping it ages ago from the huge fit that Dave threw about the plagiarism business. That's handled now, it's fine, I'm liking the series, but I can't remember: which episode is about that guy who ran soup kitchens and whatnot, and then at the end the final twist is that he was secretly running a sex toy empire and in a three way relationship? Did a bunch of the episodes just get purged after the fiasco? It seems like it, I can't identify from the list which one was about the 3 guys who all thought they were Jesus and I believe that's the one that triggered said fiasco.

The three Jesuses was Ep93, which, yeah, looks like it's no longer on the live feed. I can't remember off the top of my head which one was on the soup kitchen guy, but I vaguely remember it.

I mean luckily I never had any respect for them as professional comedians (pretty eh) or people anyway (well except GARY, he seems like a sometimes naive but very chill dude) so I managed to skirt that poo poo. I never listened to the other previous lame podcast Dave did, but I think anyone can tell he's kind of...well... poo poo I'm behind on like nine Dollop episodes for some reason too, gotta catch up. Looks like they're mostly live Australia eps though, which can go either way imo. It feels like their 5-6 riffs that usually awkwardly miss target every episode are just even more awkward with an audience and they sometimes get too tryhard with a live audience because, well, they're standups. I'll give them this, they're the only podcast led by standups that I can actually tolerate, 99% of that poo poo is usually straight garbo. prefect posted:I started listening to podcasts a few years ago because John Oliver is awesome and I became curious about anything he might have done besides the Daily Show. So The Bugle was my gateway drug. Find someone a person already likes who has a podcast, and they'll be hooked in no time. Awww, looks like John Oliver left it though? Is the other dude good enough to carry it with guests? I wonder if it's worth getting in on anymore or if the backlogs are any good (since if it's satirical "news of the moment" they might be a bit stale now)
