Thanks for the recommendations, all! The Soylent episode was great, and I'll try to get through all of the episodes everyone suggested.

Proteus Jones posted:Are you talking about the movie with Tony Curtis and Jack Lemon for the 1965? Don’t get me wrong I love The Great Race, but I really think it could be described as “Inspired By” at best. I certainly don’t recall a giant pie fight in the Dollop version. Yeah The Great Race was "inspired by" the 1908 New York to Paris race and honestly, if a pie fight broke out during the Dollop's telling of the story by about halfway through, would you have even blinked by that point

I'm going through old episodes again, and in the Arthur Bremer live episode from Milwaukee, I had forgotten about the bit where Bremer goes to a Blood, Sweat & Tears concert, which makes Dave sing "spinnin' wheel" occasionally during the rest of the episode, but it's just that line, and it's off-key enough that Gareth is confused about what song it actually is. Later on in the episode, Dave finds and plays the song, and Gareth calls him out on it sounding nothing like the actual song. It's funnier than it sounds. Seconding Newport Sex Scandal as a good episode. I like this part of the thread cycle, because I get to list other episodes that I don't think anyone's mentioned in the last page or so: Marion Zioncheck (222), Bass Reeves (176), Stagecoach Mary (135), The Fenian Raids (106), Porter Rockwell (74), The Jumper (158) and Pedestrianism (159). The last two aren't an actual two-parter, but they're pretty similar in content. Also, the Fenians show up in episodes after 106 as minor/side characters, but Gareth wouldn't have such a great reaction if it hadn't been for the one where they invade Canada but instead make Canada bigger. The rest of the ones I listed are just good fun Dollops (mostly - Zioncheck's death wasn't great, but his life more than made up for it). I like pretty much all the Australian episodes, but I'd especially recommend The Tichborne Situation (211), The Fine Cotton Scandal (124), The Emu War (111), and Mad Dan Morgan (109). Even if you already know about the Emu War, Gareth does (did) not. Fifty Farts fucked around with this message at 06:15 on Nov 29, 2019 |

I want a Dollop on the second Tour de France, the cheatiest race in recorded history, even though it's French. That poo poo was Looney Tunes. One guy cheated by using a cable he locked onto cars that he held in his mouth.

FedEx Flight 705 (#160) is another one of those crazy ones where it just keeps becoming more and more insane somehow #181 Martin Tabert and Convict Leasing is also one of the ones that will make you very angry (and one of their few Florida episodes)

I still enjoy both of them quite a bit though.

Some of the British Dollops are great in their insanity. Cyril the Swan, The Glasgow Ice Cream Wars, and the Gin Craze are amazing. British alcoholism helped make America and Australia. The Joseph Lister one will drive you insane in seeing how entrenched the old powers are against progress. Who would have thought cleanliness would be beneficial to surgery patient survival?

I recently tried to relisten to the St. Louis Olympics ep and the audio is hosed up to the point it sounds sped up or they are all on laughing gas. I had to listen to the YouTube version just to make sure it wasn't a problem with my phone. Hope they fix it since it's one of my favorite eps.

It's pretty cool how even if Erik Prince wasn't a monstrous mercenary king he's personally abominable. Showing up with the visibly pregnant babysitter at your wife's funeral is probably the most sociopathic thing I've ever heard.

I've never listened to their episode but they put a 26 year old with no economic expertise in charge of re-opening the Iraqi stock market. And I can't imagine being stupid enough to think de-baathification was a good idea.

They sealed the fate of the entire country when they announced the de-Baathification plan, while (I assume) not understanding that almost everyone had to be registered as a party member to get a government job, whether they were actually pro-Saddam or not

We half-assed denazification and handed it over to the Germans who pretty much dropped it (that's how even people that attended the Wannsee Conference were able to get normal jobs and die free). The Soviets went all-out on it in East Germany though.

The Soviets went all-out on it in East Germany though. I mean, yea but the core difference there is A) the soviets absolutely did not 'go all out', they very much centered their efforts on 'if you were a nobody pencil pusher we will let you back into society as long as you agree that whole nazi thing was just hitler going nutty' so a lot of proud nazis were able to slip in, and B) the soviets wanted to actually build up eastern germany and we had all of zero interest in making Iraq a functioning nation if it in any way delayed us making bank off them
