L-l-look at you bar-bartender, a-a pa-pathetic creature of meat and bone, un-underestimating my l-l-liver's ability to metab-meTABolize t-toxins. How can you p-poison a perfect, immortal alcohOLIC?


There have been a few recent baseball eps, I haven't listened to them but a baseball Dollop is always good. Also agree with whoever recommended live eps, Dave does seem to pick more fun/less doomer topics for those.

Macquarie Island was prob the most horrible live ep I can remember and it was horrible in a funny Dollop way rather than a depressing one. At least to me. I might be hosed up.

I've been finding that I have the most fun listening to Australia liveshows. Good crowd energy on top of fun subject matter.

It's also a little easier to cope with the Australian episodes for me because for once Dave is talking about a terrible hellscape that other people live in, as opposed to the one I live in

One of my favorite live episode moments are in the Real Crocodile Dundee episode, when Dave and Garreth learn that the kids game "telephone" is not called that in Australia. Dave even guesses that the aussie name is something racist before the entire crowd shouts the name "Chinese Whispers" and both of the American hosts lose their poo poo.

The entire episode is hillarious as well, definitely one of my favorites.

Will Anderson said that Water Rats was on for five years but I feel like it was on for more like ten

Also no clue why the theme was jazzy and cool, they were boat cops, that's not cool and the show sucked a lot

It takes a real psycho to check in almost daily on the tens of people you're starving to death, just so you can give them painful enemas and roughly "massage" them. That's some high percentile evil for Nazis poo poo.

There's a really good documentary about Linda Hazzard on Youtube by Ask A Mortician btw. If you haven't watched any of her stuff before, don't be put off by the thumbnail face she's doing, she knows it's looks stupid and off putting but she's also been on the platform long enough to know that these kinds of sacrifices of one's dignity have to be made to please the almighty algorithm. She produces very high quality, well researched videos.

It looks fine compared to things like the thumbnails of reaction channels and the like, but IIRC she has said that it feels very tacky to plaster her face with a "ooh spooky" expression on half the thumbnail of her somber, serious videos.

Unfun fact: Search engine optimization is the reason that porn parody titles are basically a lost art these days. Gone are the days of "Ferris Bueller Gets Off" and "Star Whores", these days it's all "Not The Office - an XXX Parody" and such. Another sacrifice to our algorithmic overlords.

Ugh, a channel I used to watch from time to time went from normal, descriptive video titles to doing this a while back. I pretty much stopped watching because it's hard to tell what any of the videos are going to be about or whether they're part of a series, it's dumb as hell. Not to mention nonsense titles make it impossible to search channels for anything in particular

I know this has nothing to do with the dollop, but everything getting continually shittier is loving frustrating

I feel like a purely benevolent algorithm, designed to simply provide things you might like, would develop in a less restrictive manner. However, since the goal isn't enjoyment but "engagement" everything is reduced down to trigger words.

The latest Past Times is absolutely buck wild! It's from Minneapolis in 1970 and so far they have reported on a (possibly Italian) study where they gave 40 male rats a new drug that made them super horny, someone then - for reasons that remain unexplained in the article - gave a woman that was treated for intestinal cancer the same drug and she reportedly became so horny that "she started chasing everybody" until they let her husband sleep over at the hospital.

Don’t forget the fact a bunch of microwaves were found to be leaking, which was apparently considered just a footnote by the editors.
