Probably skip "The Torture Psychologists" and the one about the Iraq war. Might be too soon for those, and they're also the "bad people get away with bad things" kind of episodes.

I can't loving figure out how to embed a tweet in this loving forum, but http://twitter.com/daveanthony/status/808086921876369408

The torture psychologist guy is hoping to be relevant again! Maybe Dave'll get to do a sequel Dollop, like the recent one on the Bundy family.

Agreed. Everything about Mr. Babson was equally fascinating and confusing in turn, but the reveal of what exactly the titular fight is remains one of the biggest out-of-left-field moments in the show's history.

This one depresses me quite a lot, but I know not everybody will have the same reaction. A teenage kid loses both his arms to a threshing machine but does not die.

Yeah, but he takes it in good humor, remember? Crackin' jokes with the woman who finds him in the tub and whatnot. He goes through that rough period of being a celeb but in the end he's alive, with both arms, and seemingly pretty well-adjusted despite the insane nightmare he endured.

Wil is great (have seen his show at the Adelaaaaaiiiidddddddeeeee Fringe every year for the last few years) but I'm playing a Live Dollop drinking game now where I drink every time Wil makes a joke and then explains the reference and tells the audience to gently caress off for not getting it.

I think my favorite forgotten thing about Burke and Wills is that they weren't actually able to reach Australia's north coast because there were swamps in the way.

You could just submit it anyway, they may end up finding a place for it. I mentioned the House of David in an email I sent, and like six months later they popped up towards the end up an episode (I don't remember which one, but late July/early August). Might fit into a specific criminal's story, or like prisons in the 19th century.

I got the on the Dollop train late so I have a huge backlog of episodes to listen through. I listened to the Egg Nog Riot today and holy poo poo :laffo: best/worst college party ever.

I agree that some of the 19th century episodes do tend to run together though, and live episodes are hit and miss. Macquarie island was top form Dolloping, though.

You see kids, a long long time ago there was a comedian who was incredibly famous and successful. He was so successful that he decided to get a bunch of his musical-industry friends together to help him make a "record album", which they used in those days to record sounds.

I think the funniest episode I've heard this year was More University and One Taste (ep. 157). The show is always funniest when A) Gareth actually is horrified and vocally freaking out, B) When the "history" lesson is revealed to be currently happening in a new iteration, C) The story is bat-poo poo insane and goes against basic human logic. Gareth's disbelief and horror gives him better fuel, and his jokes hit better. It's great.

When The Cars Came was great as well, because people are so drat stupid, and no one talks about pedestrians having to learn to avoid giant hunks of metal on wheels coming at them at 20 MPH.

I've bitched on and off about the fellows from Last Podcast on the Left in the Informational podcast thread, but no, there's not one just for MFM or for LPotL.

And trust me, they weren't as bad in that episode as they have been. The one who sounds loud and fat really likes to do awful racial stereotype voices, like "me so solly" chinesey man for the episodes covering Leonard Lake and Charles Ng(Two awful serial killers) and a stereotypical neurotic Jewish guy who gabbles about "megoogah" and other made-up Yiddish sounding noises in the episodes covering the Son of Sam. He's way worse in some of their own episodes.

Yeah, I'm aware. That doesn't mean it's cool to spend two or three hours using that as an excuse to talk like Mickey Rooney in Breakfast at Tiffany's. Use whatever excuse you want, Zebrowski just likes doing voices that can easily be offensive because he likes to be faux-edgy.

Dave Anthony posted:

Guys, I made a comment about Obamacare going away and how that would effect my family. It was not a request for money. I do not want money to pay for my healthcare. I'm a grown up. I can handle it myself and will do so.

This is simple. Without the pre-existing condition rule of the ACA, I cannot get health insurance. I do not have a current condition, I have something in my past that excludes me. I will need to get a job to have health insurance.

Yes, that will take time away from the podcast and they will not be as frequent. That's just how it's going to happen. It's not a request for charity. It's not a request for a GoFundMe. It's not a request for you to donate to Patreon. Patreon is for people who like the show and want to donate for the content. Plus, there are a shitload of people out there who are in worse shape than I am, so keep your money for them.

It sounds like the GOP will repeal it but may keep some parts. Who knows. I'm pretty sure whatever they come up with will be a poo poo sandwhich for people like me. I was just putting out there that there are real life consequences for their actions.

Thanks for the concern but I'll handle my own business.

It sucks that the Republicans are taking away Dave's health insurance.

Presumably this means no more Australia tours if he has to get a job for the health insurance. Which is a shame, since I just learnt of what would be a fantastic story for that.
