Some of the funniest recent episodes are The Hobos of Iceland and Animal Behavior Enterprises. The Newsie Strike is destined to be an all-time great just for the street names of the newsies and Dave trying to pronounce "Scaboosch."

Finally got around to listening to The Rube. I was thinking it was a great episode and probably wrapping up when I looked down and saw *there were still 40 loving minutes left*.

RandomPauI posted:There's one with a boxer that has something approaching a happy ending, it was released around the same time as the horrific cremation episode. The whalesplosion is also relatively upbeat. The boxer one is titled "The Kipling of the bowrie." I remember because it's one of the few episodes that yeah, has an actual happy ending for everyone.

My absolute favorite episode is The Fine Cotton Scandal (124). I've listened to it a dozen times.

The last five minutes or so of today's episode is an instant entry in the pantheon of all-time great Dollop moments. A great reveal, and a perfect Gareth reaction that almost certainly mirrors your own.

Any Mod reading this thread: please change my name to any single name given in the Newsie episode. You could literally pick any of them. Please just do it.

Like all baseball-focused episodes, that is a great (albeit pretty drat depressing) installment, but my favorite part is at the beginning when Dave is running through young Glenn's accomplishments. "He loved to make the other kids in his class laugh." "Alright." "He attended church six times a week; two choirs, served as an usher." "Okay...?" "He bathed two or three times a day, but never felt clean." "Uhhh, well...huh. Can we say right now, maybe we've hit our first flag?"

You need to listen to this one and pull out Michael Malloy or something to counterbalance it.

I love how Gareth has gotten more canny as the show has gone along towards the flags and towards the moment the story Dollops. Also, his delight at the ending of the James Otis episode was wonderful.

If anyone wants to hear Dave Anthony lead a very depressing and scary discussion about climate change, check him out on the Left Coast podcast. https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/e004-remember-bears-climate-change-part-1-w-dave-anthony/id1248040969?i=1000389616990&mt=2

So, I didn't realize our current opioid crisis could pretty much be traced back to one horrendous company. Now I don't know who's worse, Purdue or Uber. Goddamn. Also, any other LA fans planning on going to the show on July 16th that Gareth mentioned?

So what is Gareth's background? Sometimes they make fun of him for being British? His mom seems to be, but they don't mention it on IMDb, and he doesn't know what tories are, so I guess it's only his mum?

He's done impressions of his mom before and he has her speak with a British accent. I think he's also said at some point he may have spent a couple years of his childhood in the U.K.?

Fairly certain he spent his earliest years in the UK and then spent the rest of his life growing up in the Midwest (Wisconsin I think?). Both his parents are British and ended up moving to the US.

That was the very best part. He realized a split-second before what was going to happen and desperately tried to stop it.

If anybody was curious I usually skip through the first 5-10 minutes of the episodes, so I was wondering where this Garfie talk was coming from, and now my weekend is off to a great start.

More than anything now, I want a reverse-guest Dollop where Gareth's mum tells stories to Dave Anthony about the early years of little Garfie.
