I really enjoyed the most recent episode. We've had a lot of "serious" Dollops lately and this one reminded me of why I like the goofy just random poo poo that has happened in our history.

Is this a thing in general with live podcasts, or is it only The Dollop that is plagued with official recordings not getting recorded at all?

It happened with what was supposed to be the last episode of a podcast that read/mocked Ready Player One. They redid the recording as best as they could save for not being live.

After this many episodes you’d think they would be making redundant recordings but noooooo lets let the venue be responsible

Most of the time you have no choice and have to use the venue’s people for sound and lighting and won’t be allowed anywhere near the board to hook your stuff in.

Losing I understand, but I meant how Dave sometimes makes it sound like no one even started recording.

Dave is the type of guy who will call out whoever for loving it up because... it's Dave. I really doubt a more level headed podcaster would really call out a person or a club or whatever.

Am I the only one that skips most of the 'live in ____' shows? Seems like often the recording is noisy and there are too many awkward improvised jokes from Gareth that only pan out 1/2 the time. The studio shows are often 100x better

edit: piedras negras was good tho

I will probably lick whatever you put in front of me.
I can't tolerate the live shows and skip them all which means I've not been listening much lately. The audio is bad as you said and they seem too serious lately and the comedy is forced.

The Boston ones were a lot more lighthearted (even if one was about burning down a convent because of secret sex dungeon rumors) but I think they got lost too

Otto in the Attic and Animal Horror are great live shows but I avoid the rest.

Related, I ended up listening to the Lore episode about Otto and could not even conceive of listening to it as a serious mystery. It's just too crazy to be serious.

The recent live eps are much much better than old live eps with a couple of exceptions here and there. Dave just has bad mic discipline in general though.

The live episodes are good because it makes it really easy to tell when the ads are over. Also, Disco Demolition and the race around the world were both live.

Paris race had adomian though. Same with the chapo live eps, you can't really compare those to the rest

I’ve been listening a lot less in general which I just realized when I saw how many episodes I missed. I think it’s the angry Dave shows, as much as I agree with him politically they just aren’t as entertaining.

Yeah I haven't been keeping up as much with it in a while either. I agree with his point of view for the most part but I'm here for jet packs and alligator wrestling, not serious politics.

The live eps are also hit and miss for me. My favorite live ones are New York to Paris Race, John Batman, the Two Indiginous Actors, Reg Spiers, the Cereal Men, Boston Corbett and Otto in the Attic.

I haven't had the chance to listen to the new episode yet, but Gareth showed up on Bert Kreischer's cooking show, where Bert fucks up a meal and feeds it to his comedian friends.

It's good. Gareth is on fire.
