There's a lot of story leading up to it, what with the circumstances surrounding its construction, one worker who kept having dreams about the flood before it happened and kept trying to prevent it, and the spin the company tried to put on it during the trial.

Wait, what?! I knew nothing about it other than "molasses kills like 10 people." Now I'm simultaneously mad at you for spoiling the inevitable episode and really loving excited to hear Gareth's reactions to it :stare:

I actually learned about the Resurrection Men from an episode of Sawbones a couple of months before The Dollop covered it. I saw it live, and Justin's reactions were a lot like how I imagine Gary's to be :allears:

In a new twist on the continuing audio problems with the podcast, the new episode features Dave exclusively in my right channel and Gareth entirely in the left. It’s like I’m between them.

I had to listen to this episode through my phone's mono speaker to not go insane, christ

I don't understand how these dudes can't get the most basic poo poo figured out. I don't know how you'd even gently caress up recording to make this happen, but presumedly you can just mix the channels into mono in Audacity or something :psyduck:

yeah, using DI's work without attribution is indefensible from any standpoint. If they had attribution, I would be fine defending it from a moral standpoint, because it'd just be a derivative work at that point and I'm pretty much always for that, but even then it'd probably not be defensible from a legal standpoint :(

They had a live guest. He had some good lines. The episode was funny, but the audience was pretty bad, and shouted a lot of poo poo at the stage.

I've always thought a Dollop on the history of roller coasters/theme park rides would be fun, but I don't know if Anthony would be up for doing the research himself, since I think you'd need to pull in a lot of sources. I know they have a lot of listeners do the research, how's that work? Do you pitch the idea first and then send in research, or do you just send a bunch of source links?

(I think this is a good idea for a Dollop because many of the rides in the history of theme parks doubled as murder machines, such as the first looping coasters, which pulled like 12 Gs)

if I can find some more good sources on this I might submit this as a possible story (too bad they don't seem to really do Smollops anymore because this would be perfect for that)

New York to Paris Car Race for sure.

this is easily the best dollop of all time, I must have listened to it like 6 times

the last time I really paid attention to it I really did have the entire outline of a movie adaptation start to finish in my head, it'd be incredible

presumably they ran out of drat Interesting articles to read nearly-verbatim from

i assume dave's interest in australian history is because he found an australian version of drat interesting that is significantly less litigious

the gin episode, while grim at times, is one of my go-to relistens. pints of gin!

i also listened to the past time episodes and it rules, big recommend. i didn't realize that (a) the dollop had a patreon and (b) it only costs like a dollar or two a month for no-ad episodes or i would have signed up long ago

Going through the archives again, up to Judge Roy Bean. What a great episode. The bar-court, the bear, ending marriage ceremonies with "may God have mercy on your souls," suing a guy in his own court (needless to say, he won), fining a corpse forty dollars for carrying a concealed weapon (because they found a gun and forty dollars on the corpse), it just keeps going.

If you like Bar Courts, might I recommend the newest live ep (which was very good!)

the oyster two-parter owned

ever since moving to NYC a decade ago i have never understood the concept of "oyster bars" (I have a ton of vegetarian friends who react basically like Gareth did, so i've never actually been to one). i've had oysters a couple times and thought they were a strange novelty that only made sense in the context of spending way too much money on very fancy, but not very good, food. the idea of people going for dollar oysters at happy hour always baffled me

after listening to the history of oysters in this city... gently caress, man, i am honestly still no closer to understanding any of this
