Everyone's favorite military profiteer has a new gig lined up training the Chinese military. Some people are calling foul because China is a potential military rival but it's all good because Erik is a staunch anti-communist who loves money above all else. I mean America, loves America. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...omepage%2Fstory

.....So... no episode this week because Dave (and perhaps also Gareth?) is "mad at haters" or something, correct? Anyone know what I'm talking about? Seems they don't like answering hate mail about random poo poo and Dave supposedly mentioned on Twitter that he has no enthisiasm for the show or something like that. I don't have Twitter so Im not entirely sure what's up.

I don't know anything about Dave Anthony other than the Dollop, but from what I've gleaned of him it does kinda seem like it's a small miracle that the podcast has gone on this long without him deciding he's mad at somebody and shutting the whole thing down

I think we are getting a new episode this week because that lady's GoFundMe got funded. If Dave and Gary are that tired of "haters" they should just make the show for patrons only. They have a large enough body of work that people can decide whether or not they want to pony up. And frankly, I'm tired of them too. I like the Dollop. I've never once found it unlistenable (except the penguin massacre). I like live episodes, studio episodes, whatever. People need to shut the gently caress up and quit bitching about the free loving podcast that Dave and Gary do because they're ruining it for the rest of us.

Even patrons could have some legitimate criticisms, I don’t think Dave can handle even that very well. I kind of doubt that they get more vicious feedback than any other podcast. I’d be happy to give them money to go patreon only but I doubt it’ll make much difference. Actually, I need to throw a little money their way anyway.

Agreed that it does sorta seem like a small miracle that Dave has hung in here as long as he has. Im also assuming they probably don't get a disproportionate amount of hate mail or whatever than anyone else doing anything on the internet, but when you're popular, that's and assload of hate mail, it's a big internet... I imagine you gotta learn to delete/ignore or it will consume you.

Just when you think it'll be a live only podcast, they release a studio episode. Nice!

Just got into this podcast due to the GBD Podcast thread. Out of all the episodes I've listened to, I actually like the live audience ones more. Which are the best episodes from like 0-300?

Slotducks posted:Which are the best episodes from like 0-300? 237 - Jet Pack Madness, first and foremost. I just read through an episode list looking for solid recommendations and...you really can't go wrong with most of them. Anything that seems interesting to you probably will be. Even episodes I started thinking "this is just going to be a bummer" like the LAPD quadrilogy or the Iraq War turned out to be funny and engaging, even if they weren't exactly the most uplifting stories. That said, when I started listening, I remember the one-two punch of 16 - The Two Daredevils and 17 - Rainbow Man being the point where I thought "Okay, I am totally down with this show." 201 - Roger Babson's Fight is a very memorable example of an episode where it starts and ends in two extremely different places, while 157 - More University & One Taste Incorporated is one that starts at "This is insane" and just continues to escalate the entire time.

If you want a good insanity continues, the Macquarie Island one is really good. The audience ends up forgetting that it started with clubbing baby seals.

I really like The Death of George Washington for introducing others to the show because A) it has a big name and B) it becomes much more difficult to romanticize the founding fathers when you picture one of the most central figures in American History on his death bed, covered in beetle husk powder, and surrounded by the best doctors in America who can't stop pumping blood out of him.

I think The Rube is still probably the easiest intro. Nothing dark, nice guy, funny story, easy to follow.

Action Park, Swimming Pools, Oofty Goofty, and because I don't see it ever mentioned when people ask for recommendations, the very early episode about Ghosts. e: gently caress, I forgot Michael Malloy, forget everthing everyone else told you and listen to this one first.

We really need a “most recommended episodes” list in the OP. Ones I see come up most often: The Rube Michael Molloy Jet Pack Madness All the baseball ones I’ll also throw in a rec for the recent live ep with James Adomian for being thoroughly entertaining from the get-go.

The 1904 Olympics, I certainly go back to it the most. Rory Scovel is such a perfect fit for them that I wish they did more episodes together and everything described is so mindblowing absurd.

The one about the leather man and the comet panic one are also good. The Rube and jet pack madness are probably the best possible introductions to the series as a whole though. As long as you like the format and their style of comedy I think its hard to go wrong though. The only episode I can remember really disliking is the one on Centralia, because Gareth spends half the episode just being like "Why didn't they just put the massive underground anthracite coal fire out??" which really got annoying

It's a good episode beyond that, though, and has some of those "wait, that person said/did WHAT?" moments. Dark Secret of Swimming Pools is a nice weird one

The live PT Barnum episode has a moment that encapsulates a Dollop running theme. (Dave says something that makes the audience hopeful) Garrath "Oh, I've been this way before. [Is he our] hero? No, [he's] a villain"

All the recommended episodes are awesome, but really what I suggest is listen to ones you think sound interesting and go from there. There are very few outright bad episodes. The one that I loving love is "247 - The Falling Pilot." I was so compelled by that episode that I sat in my car for 15 minutes just to finish it.

I started with the ones that sounded most interesting, then the net group, then just listened to all of them. Some are funnier/more interesting than others but I've never listened to a Dollop that I felt like was a waste of time. Dave's good at picking topics.

I listened to it while walking to/from the grocery store and had an old couple out walking their dog look at me like I was crazy because I was just walking down the street laughing while listening to it.
