Zenephant posted:Al Madrigal or whoever that guest was in the live episode has the most annoying laugh a human being could possibly have. 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. They have friends with awful laughs, is what I'm trying to say.

NoEyedSquareGuy posted:New episode is the best one ever made if you're into Irish voices. This new episode would drive a friend of mine completely out of her mind, but she kinda uber-fetishizes Ireland and her heritage coming from there. That said, it was a great episode. I can't wait to tell her all about how Irish guerrillas tried to invade Canada.

So, I gave the most recent episode with Wil Anderson a try, after hating one of his previous appearances. I don't know if he was just high or drunk or what in the episode I hated, but he was really funny in this one! I'm glad they found the SD card with this episode on it.

I think that the only good thing to come out of the Iraq war, all told is that it serves as a perfect showcase for why the train of thought of Reagan-style politics, neoconservatism, and free market capitalism is completely hosed and wrong. And we should be done with that poo poo. Unfortunately, we're not.

Bozarth posted:I would say we already learned the lesson that Reaganomics didn't work in post-Reagan America. It's a nice thought, but the fact that these ideas keep getting brought up means that we haven't learned that lesson fully. I'm hopeful for some nice, eighteenth-century US stupidity in the next episode. This one made me want to go give my Iraqi boss who fled all this poo poo a big ol' hug. He might take it the wrong way, though. Edit: Oh, by the way, did they say something during the Hugh Glass episode about the movie The Revenant? I don't know when it began production, but they're in Hollywood, maybe that's how Dave heard about the story? rotinaj fucked around with this message at 02:59 on Oct 13, 2015 |

Your Gay Uncle posted:If you guys liked the Count Dante episode you should check out Frank Dux. Claims that Bloodsport is based on his life, that he has won 329 heavyweight fights, the UFC is named after him, and that he fought Van Damme on top of a walkway 60 stories high and that Van Damme bitched out. The episode on Bloodsport on High and Mighty with Jon Gabrus covers a lot of that and it is a sometimes great podcast. That episode was fun.

Tir McDohl posted:Shut up, not everyone got the exact same education and learned the exact same things. Also, these guys are not history researchers, they are comedians who I assume do or have done lots of drugs and gotten drunk in nightclubs many times. That buys them a lot of slack in my book. I felt the same way during the Monitor/Merrimack episode, but, like, I read a shitton. I don't think Gary reads many history books. It really is a miracle that Gage survived the hit, what with filthy 1800s medical tech.

Ignoring everything that you guys are saying about unrelated video game companies which is silly and pointless for a dollop about Atari, I would have loved for Gareth to talk about the death throes of Atari, like the Jaguar, with its awful dumb controller, or how Atari turned into a sad, wet fart of a company by the end that was shuffled from parent company to parent company until now, when it is making lovely old copies of Atari products and casino games and has a staff of 10 people. That coulda been really good.

For everyone else who is as confused as I am, Anthony Cumia was the Anthony in Opie and Anthony, a radio show notorious for being two dumb racist sexist monstrous assholes who hide behind the guise of comedy. Jim Norton loves them because his brand of comedy is close to theirs, but he's actually funny. So, apparently Dave picked a fight with a much larger bugbear than himself. Why are Opie and Anthony relevant in 2016? Aren't they on some tiny Sirius station or something now?

mike12345 posted:I listened to the first ever* Dollop yesterday, and it's about Cliven Bundy, father of the guy who's leading the Oregon occupation. Cliven had a similar confrontation over farmland in Nevada two years ago. Interesting stuff, some crazy poo poo most americans are probably familiar with already, like the Oath Keepers. He decided they didn't fit what the dollop has become, and deleted them. Listen to the episodes on The Rube, the 50 cent beer night, and maybe the tickling episodes or the dolphin episode.

stealie72 posted:Sometimes I wonder if both of them grew up in a bubble. Dave comes off as positively idiotic at least once every other show. Gareth is probably good at feigning surprise and disgust when he needs to, though. It seems odd that two guys who do an American history podcast are so bad at American history. Two comedians. The only comedians who would know these stories are the nerdy ones like Patton Oswalt or Brian Posehn. When you listen to comedian life stories, they across the board were not history buffs.

Fork of Unknown Origins posted:I like the 1800s Dollops but something about how much more detail we usually have for the more recent ones (and just the fact that they're more recent) usually makes them more fun. I agree. The John 316 Rainbow Man episode, the Tank Chase episode, and the Armored Turtle Jail Breakout episodes were all since 1900 and they're some of the best episodes. Then again, I just listened to the Ouija Boards episode today and that one was really good too.

Literally The Worst posted:is it really a statement if its ignored If a third party manages to get over a certain amount of votes, they get funding and increased access. Perot's Reform Party got national attention thanks to his run in '96, so they got matching funds in 2000. A third party getting that again would send a big message. Dave should do a Dollop on Perot.

Just keep in mind that My Favorite Murder is a true crime podcast, not a comedic stories of American weirdness podcast. When they get into gruesome murders, it ends up not being a jokey ha-ha time, but them actually reacting to the stories. That being said, I'm a devoted Murderino and think that KillHard make a wonderful duo on MFM.

prefect posted:Yeah, that was the most surprising thing about the whole episode -- I was not expecting Dave to say "guess they died in the fire after all". This is the sort of result that kills a lot of the "strange events from history" podcasts for me. There are a couple of true crime podcasts like Thinking Sideways that often just have the hosts shrug and say "guess it was the most obvious thing", which totally kills all enthusiasm for the story.

Guy Mann posted:The missing Sodder kids reminds me a lot of other "true crime" stories I've heard from grieving parents where they construct elaborate conspiracies involving police/government agencies/organized crime/the Freemasons because they can't deal with the fact that their kids died. Granted those were usually 1980s satanic panic/child ritual abuse cases but this hit all the same notes. <  > Johnny Gosch totally got tangled up in a government child sex abuse ring that catered to the richest and most powerful men in the world, and was sold as a sex slave to Bohemian Grove Illuminati Satanism parties. He escaped and now is fighting rings of pedophiles as an underground vigilante, and I know this because his mom told us. And don't you go dismissing it, mister!I wonder if the Dollop book is gonna have any content aside from the stuff covered in podcasts, or if it's just gonna be a greatest hits. I got burned last time I bought a book off a podcast and it turned out to be everything that Greg Proops had been saying for the past year, but with less content.

I really and truly feel like the Dollop isn't deserving of picking one episode as the best. There are so many that are amazing to listen to, and deserve love. A top ten list barely scratches the surface. The Egg Nog riot, the Tank Chase, the Rainbow Man, the David Hahn ep, Rajneeshpuran, Oofty Goofty, the Kentucky Meat Shower, and those are all in like the first hundred. God drat are there some good Dollops.

And we don't know how Andy will be with guests. I suspect it won't be an issue, because it won't actually manifest. If you listen to a podcast with Andy Zaltzmann, the question is... do you like puns? If so, Good news!
