I always wondered why Dave never gave any credit to the writers of the stuff he reads. Surprised this hasn't happened sooner.

He's mentioned researchers in passing before but he's also mentioned writing it himself (autocorrect and such.) He says they're going to make a statement tonight.

Yeah, how does anybody not know? It's like 7th grade psychology.

We googled Talleyrand and it's apparently a bar so we're going with that.

So I'd heard of the purple people because they're less than 10 minutes from where my parents live but I'd never really known anything about them.

What the gently caress?

I've only listened to two episodes of MFM (early ones) but my main issue with it was that it wasn't really a true crime podcast (there were a lot of instances of them being like, "I think uhhhh, I think then this happened? Or something?") and it wasn't really a comedy podcast. It was 2 people who are funny, doing their best to remember true crime stories. Do they get more prepared in later episodes?

I started at the newest and I'm working backwards. They spend 10-20 minutes chatting and then they each tell a story they prepared ahead of time. Just listen to a more recent one and see if you like it.

I live near Tufts, and after listening to the Roger Babson episode, I had to see for myself:



It's true. All of it. I must have passed by this dozens of times and never actually read it.

Imagine reading this without knowing who he was. Semi-insulator, airplane accidents wait what?

Can someone explain the Solder Children story a bit more? Like it's so strange and Dave unleashes so many loose ends...

Guy turns down protection racket, racketeers burn down his house. His children all die in a fire. He spends the rest of his life looking for his dead children who he is convinced escaped.

I mean I guess. What the hell happened to the PI they sent to Kentucky? If it didn't matter why bring it up!?!!?

An old man gives you money to find his dead children. You have no morals. What would you do?

The episode about the undercover anti-gay squad at Norfolk is one of the best.

By the way, I'd recommend The Death of Stalin for Dollop fans. It's basically a movie version of a Dollop episode. The acting is top notch.

It's absolutely fantastic.

Lol Dave's fury at people skipping the insane ads.

I've taken The Dollop out of my auto playlist because the ads are so bad. If an episode came up while I was driving and unable to skip ads I'd be stuck listening to 10-15 minutes of nonsense.
