mike12345 posted:man that transportation episode was bad. all over the place, no direction wtf I switched it off. I really liked the transportation episode, I was surprised to hear so many people slagging it off. Also I've been trying to find the picture your avatar is from for like a week. It's Marco Rubio's face between a bunch of reporters looking like he's seen a ghost, right?

Dipping into the archive and listening to the old Talkspace ads just reminds me how much monstrous poo poo Trump has done that I'd totally forgotten about. Like, remember when he went to Puerto Rico after the hurricane and tossed them a roll of paper towels? Holy poo poo.

The last 2 episodes (Charles Dederich and Synaon / Lord Gordon Gordon) have been among 2 of my favorites they've done. I could not stop laughing at the balls of Gordon Gordon and the craziness of Synanon.

Just sat down for the Cleveland show. The crowd is about as goony as I would have figured. In a good way.

I have no way of knowing if it was my suggestions that got him to do it, but I sent info on both Benjamin Lay and Synanon to Dave a little over a year ago. Feels good to have them covered finally.

Think they are ever going to cover the construction of the Sydney Opera House? Lots of bungling (initial "plans" were essentially a glorified napkin doodle, stuff had to be torn down and built back up due to rushed construction and bad planning), pettiness (Jørn Utzon's primadonna moments, Robert Askin and Davis Hughes making Utzon's life hell), WTF moments (the maestro that was forced to resign over an affair with an occultist) and some rather sad moments (Utzon never went back to Australia after getting fired and thus has died never having seen the Opera House in person). They must have had requests to do it. Wonder if that will be the Sydney Live Show. AceOfFlames fucked around with this message at 03:16 on Sep 17, 2018 |

I gotta say the highlight of the Cleveland show was hearing about how Danny Greene got bullied by Italians and Slovenians in Collinwood. My Slovenian grandfather grew up in Collinwood, at exactly the same time as Greene, and openly admitted that he was a vicious bully as a teenager, particularly towards the Irish in the neighborhood. There’s a fair chance my granddad beat up the subject of a dollop for his lunch money. Edit: And having just texted my dad, granddad also spent most of his life working as a longshoreman. He might have worked under the subject of a dollop too. InequalityGodzilla fucked around with this message at 00:03 on Sep 21, 2018 |

As a gay dude who only had a passing knowledge of what specifically went down during stonewall this latest episode was pretty neat, but whew boy were there a lot of "he"s thrown around where they probably shouldn't have been. Also apparently Dave handled taking criticism very badly again, what a shock.

Yeah bummed that he removed the episode because I learned a lot. Also shocked that people are still outraged that Dave can be extremely off-color after 300+ episodes.

I couldn't help but remark that it always sucks when cis straight people tell LGBT stories, particularly for the purpose of comedy. Lots of overdone gay jokes too, Gareth jumped right into a "The oppressors are actually gay themselves!" bit that was dead on arrival and spent the rest of the show remarking on how tough the crowd was, but they got good reactions to the story, the jokes were just lame and full of bad messages. A real waste of good research.

Dave finally doing all but straight up begging the listeners to rise up in possibly violent protest against the supreme court was good and needed. (also the episode is still up as I type this?)

# ? Oct 3, 2018 01:42 |

Yeah the ending was real good. It's just a shame they stooped to some really bad jokes on what was otherwise a really good episode. Especially sucks that they have decided that they're not doing any more LGBT stories now.

Their bit is always to make jokes in the times of the joke. What's different with this one than every one they do on race? I'm black so I kind of get what people are saying but then again I don't? Can someone explain it in those terms?

I'm black so I kind of get what people are saying but then again I don't? Can someone explain it in those terms? The punchline of one of the jokes is that one of the cops was in the closet and thus super into one of the trans women he was arresting because she had a dick. The implication of the joke being that trans women are just men in women's clothing, which is really bad. Also the whole "homophobic people are just gays in the closet" is a really old and really bad take/joke. E: Like, normally when they do those kinds of jokes it's to highlight the absurdity of people's bigotry back in the day, not accidentally do a bigoted joke themselves.

Fair, though I could also see them just loving up a bit trying to be funny to a love audience. I'm much more forgiving though so I can see both sides. In before Trump

i'm inclined to believe they weren't intending to be hurtful by making those jokes, but that doesn't invalidate the people who were hurt unfortunately, handling that kind of situation has never been their strong suit

I bet he didn't name individuals because he didn't want to stir up poo poo by opening the debate of whether it was a cis lesbian woman or a trans woman who "started" the riots, but someone's gonna get mad about something. It's baffling to see people losing their poo poo about this on twitter. Like they were fine with the jokes about dead children, genocide, etc---those were all in good fun--but after this episode they are CANCELED

Oh, yeah, it was 100% unintentional. It's just something some people were still hurt by it, pointed it out to Dave, and well Dave did what he does.

The Dollop has gotten poo poo on Twitter since day one. AriadneThread posted:unfortunately, handling that kind of situation has never been their strong suit Taking it down seems a pretty good way of handling it, I mean, even if they end up putting up an edited version or even backtracking doing something shows they are more reflective than the default comedian response of going "Comedians must be allowed to make jokes!".

btw if anyone's looking to take a break from the dollop, check out Last Podcast on the Left. it's even worse with jokes about dead people, but now's the scary month so a good time to check it out imo. oh yeah it's like dollop but only murder-mystery type stories. the one dude even sounds like gary

If you're alright with some gory descriptions, the series that they just did on the Donner Party is basically a long Dollop.

I'm pretty social justice warrior-y and I know the jokes are off color and in poor taste, but I learn from the podcast and sometimes improv is bad. E: I never understood the dead children thing but maybe I'm missing something - are people mad that they laugh in the beginning when they're like "so and so was one of 8 - and everyone died in infancy!"?
