Hats just come up way more often than they should. I think the breaking point might have been The Brooklyn Bridge Crushing but it's been a while.

Worth mentioning is there's actually one other guy who Gary missed after Onada:

Who doesn't get the same treatment because he wasn't ethnically Japanese.

I gave it a second go, and Dave is really bad, which is a pity as the topic is interesting. Would probably have made a good normal dollop with Gareth as the ignorant listener.

Ok they clubbed an entire island of seals that's pretty bad, but what does this have to do with penguins?


OK but what about the rats from earlier?


OK BUT WHAT ABOUT THE CATS?!?

Just listened to the Andrew Jackson episode. Really enjoyed it, I enjoy the American political history stuff that they do. I did love how towards the end, when during the Trail of Tears stuff, it just becomes so matter of fact and Gareth is clearly depressed about proceedings.

I liked all the reverse dollops thus far. I still listen to the escape bit from the Pulgasari ep due to how utterly bewildered Dave gets.

The transportation episode was the best in ages. Nothing terribly surprising if you've listened to the rest of the podcast or you're up on your history, but the banter was good and they seemed like they were having a good time. I honestly hope they'll do more social justice-stuff mostly because it's something they care and get excited about. The weakness of the show is that after 200 episodes it's kind of become routine for the both of them, and rarely do either of them become truly shocked when things get weird.

Getting energy out of outrage is a viable substitute.

My biggest trouble with the transportation episode was Dave's use of the "guy hates women" character. The entire schtick was insane, anti-woman rants.

The thing is, saying dumb poo poo isn't the same thing as making insightful commentary or making jokes.

Rody One Half

It's one of the most egregious examples of Dave and Gary squeezing every last drop out of a bit that wasn't great to start with.

ALSO, rather strange to have a lady guest on for this episode about how women get poo poo on and uh... having her be nearly silent WHILE they do their dumb bits.

I think Dave invited Gareth’s mom on purpose because he knew they would be talking about a lot of uncomfortable vagina stuff.

Unfortunately, Gareth is usually louder and less funny on live shows. He tends to go on and on with bits that are not at all good, and he doesn't seem to know when to stop them.

Gareth's mom usually doesn't talk a whole lot during the episodes where she sits in.

I've taken The Dollop out of my auto playlist because the ads are so bad. If an episode came up while I was driving and unable to skip ads I'd be stuck listening to 10-15 minutes of nonsense.
