I love to argue by using all caps. I feel it helps keep people from noticing that I have little or nothing to add to any given conversation. I also
Dave addresses the source / DI thing in the new episode, albeit reluctantly remorseful.

His goblin impressions make up for it.

By the pregnancy one do you mean the 'Childbirth in America' episode? What's wrong with it?

The mix is way off. Dave is super low compared to Gary. I listen during my commute mostly, and it's extremely hard to hear when I'm on the highway.

I thought Dave's address was fine. He admitted to making a mistake, and he pointed out where he was in disagreement with the DI guy. I happen to disagree with his assessment, but he wasn't a passive aggressive little bitch about it like I thought he would be.

I dont care about the plagiarism stuff but I was curious if they ever did anything about chiquita/banana republics? Seems like a good topic for this show.

The radium girls are featured briefly in the David Hahn episode. I listened to that episode again fairly recently, and I forgot just how loving bananas it was.

That's the kid who built a reactor in the potting shed, right?

I like that one a lot. Every time you think "somebody's gotta realize what this kid is doing and stop him," he goes and does something even more insane. Like building a nuclear loving reactor in his mom's potting shed.

I knew the broad strokes of the story since Vonnegut uses it in Jailbird (I think one of the protagonist's love interests is a descendant of the people who ran the factory where they made the clocks) but hearing about the ensuing legal battle was pretty nuts.

That's a really recent event, too. Reminds me of their 'first' episode, covering Cliven Bundy. Any other Dollops that cover super recent events, like within the same year as the episode's release?

Competitive Tickling. And I guess purity balls, though that wasn't really about a specific event.

The only one between the new ep and the really early ones that comes to mind is the one about Eric Red.

I WAS THERE
WHEN CODY RHODES
FINISHED THE STORY
Catching up and I thought The Egg Nog Riots was wildly hilarious. So many great moments: the guy who tried to leave the room covered in a sheet, the cadet who wouldn't stop talking about how good he was at drums, the other dude who decided to just smash windows on his way to roll call. I was dying from laughter most of the episode.

That episode, more than any other Dollop, had me audibly saying "what?!" at every turn. The level of obsession from Hahn, and the sheer carelessness of every person who helped him, is absolutely astonishing.

If you're so inclined, there was a Coast to Coast AM caller named "Madman" Marcum who stole power transformers to build a time machine on his front porch that reminded me of Hahn. It's a good, fun piece of radio theater.

edit: Also, it's safe to assume Popobawa is still rear end raping guys in East Africa.

Gary's description of old-timey doctors as "weird guessers" in one episode is just a perfect way to describe them.

If you like weird old medical history, there is a podcast called Sawbones where a doctor and her husband talk about weird medical history. It covers some of the same topics as the Dollop but there isn't too much overlap.

This is from a few pages ago, but God I hate the "free podcast" argument, it's a copout, pure and simple. gently caress Chris Hardwick for helping to bring this into the lexicon because he's so thin-skinned he can't handle being called out. Not that this makes him unique among comedians.

Yeahhhh, I don't think there's a single podcast series (even Uhh Yeah Dude) where live episodes aren't usually way lamer than normal episodes. Still, I've enjoyed the normal eps lately, it was pretty hilariously horrifying learning for the first time that our first (????) president was murdered by a cabal of incompetent doctors.

I checked this out because I generally like the McElroy boys but this kind of thing just works way better for me if both hosts are funny.

The ep I listened to covered the same topic as The Stomach Men, just in way less detail when it came to the actual relationship between the two guys. It's also crazy to hear the difference between a doctor and a comedian's version of the story.

If only for the turn when Gareth completely loses his poo poo.

But for anyone who didn't listen to the latest live one, don't. It's an average story and Al Madrigal adds nothing but dead weight and that godawful laugh.

As a fan of Al Madrigal, I'll agree that his laugh is terrible and he added nothing to the podcast. Saying that you're bored and want to go home is a pretty terrible way of opening the show as well.

Whoa, whoa. Hold on now. Let's not go saying such big things when the Dollop has had the reigning and defending World Champ of Super Annoying Laughter on, their Australian friend whose name escapes me because I avoid his episodes like the plague. His little self-conscious lilting laugh, where he just kinda trails off and his voice gets really high pitched and he makes an "eeeeee" noise made me want to devour my iPod to stop the torture.

Are you talking about Wil Anderson or Luke McGregor from the live New South Wales episode? Because McGregor was 100 times as annoying as Wil Anderson and it's the only Dollop episode I've shut off early because I straight up couldn't handle listening to him.

I went and watched some of his stand up after that episode. It is part of his bit and works better in his routine.

Al sucked hard. If you remove him from the episode it would have been a decent episode.
