Of episodes not listed I am a fan of the Willie Dee and The Newport Sex Scandal and Satchel Paige and Trujillo is an awesome baseball episode e: episode 8, The Dolphin. Incredible, on the same level as The Rube and Ten Cent Beer Night imo. It has the flavor of Gareth breaking down under the weight of the story, but it’s only him being flabbergasted at the escalations not anything soul-crushing.

Also of episodes not yet listed I've recommended #211 The Tichborne Situation several times in this thread and I'm doing it again. It's absolutely hilarious and free from any soul-crushing world issues. Just a good weird story

207 - The Animal Horror of Macquarie Island is also a good one

On a similar topic, The Chameleon is also a great one.

The Bonesetter episode from the England miniseries is also fantastic. Basically The Dollop England has zero duds and is mostly bangers. One of them has one of my favorite Dollop riff scenarios, where dudes in an ice cream van pull up next to another one to chase them off of the first one’s turf, and do it by playing The Entertainer but with malice.

Cyril the Swan is a good one from the England/UK episodes, too. Heck, that whole "season" is pretty good. Other good ones, some may have already been mentioned by others: Competitive Endurance Tickling The Fine Cotton Scandal Pedestrianism (for Gareth's constant amazement/disbelief that people watched other people walking) Porter Rockwell The Eggnog Riot (Christmas at West Point goes terribly wrong) Stagecoach Mary Bass Reeves The Pig War (I also like Stop Podcasting Yourself; I feel like Graham "gets it" in this, more than his cohost, who is also named Dave) The Car Known As The Dale Judge Roy Bean Gaston Means (played by Stephen Root in Boardwalk Empire) The Butter Crime Marm Mandelbaum You could probably pick any regular poster in this thread, click their post history, and get at least 5 different posts with lists of recommended episodes. They may or may not all be the same episodes (I know I've mentioned Stagecoach Mary a few times because she was a loving badass; the laundry bill thing is so good).

Some I like that are mostly just wild or funny stories: Cabeza de Vaca Billy Martin Eddie Haymour Billy Hitler Tycho Brahe Cecilia Vasa Harlan Sanders (great Gareth reaction when he doesn't realize who it is until almost halfway through) Maud Mandelbaum And some inspiring and feel-good stories: John Brown Eugene Debs

Oh yeah, the Ross Perot episode is great too, mainly because Gareth does pretty much the entire episode as Ross Perot. A bunch of people have danced around it, but basically any baseball episode is going to be great. The only one that is a bit of a downer is Breaking Glenn Burke, but is offset by a wonderful twist about the invention of the high five. For new listeners I always try to suggest something either germane to their interests, or something local. One of my favorite episodes is Trapper Nelson, about a guy who was basically the south Florida version of Crocodile Dundee. I grew up in the same town as him, and we would take field trips to his estate in the state park. Was fun to hear the entire story, and also even knowing a bit more than Dave (Nelson's brother absolutely killed him and bragged about it constantly, my step dad experienced it first hand).

The military would not help them make it most likely, and that already sweeps the leg on a big source of budget. All pro-military movies get a bunch of funding and help making their movie from the armed forces.

The man who walked backwards "around the world" getting chased out by villagers, somehow losing lucrative endorsement deals, getting told off by coppers to knock it off,etc- is another good one.

lmao it loving is a Broken God SCP, I wonder if the originating author got the idea for them from this I’m just over halfway done but they’re building their loving hair into the thing, it’s only one step further to be building their flesh and bone in as well
