I think I've listened to the Jack Parsons episode 3 times now and I don't know if I've ever listened to a podcast more than once other than that. My favorite thing about the Dollop is when you think you've reached peak insanity with the story only to find out that there's like an hour left.

Haha. Wait, that wasn't crazy enough for you? Ok, let's introduce L. Ron Hubbard into the situation.

Clifford Clinton is maybe my favorite human being that I've ever heard of and that postscript to his life was maybe the single best moment of the podcast, especially Gareths reaction

Just

Just my most favorite thing

It was a nice inversion of the implacable descent into absurdity and despair that occurs in most of the episodes.

With lube.

Forewarned is forearmed, gentlemen. The scouting missions will continue. We must continue to suck and to gently caress until the homo threat is eradicated.

I always thought 'It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia' was a comedy show, but now I know that it is an accurate portrayal of white folks from Philly. You get an entire stadium of people like that together, of course those things happen.

The Owen Kildare ep is such a ridiculous emotional rollercoaster that I feel like "Owen" may have embellished the details of his life. But I hope it's true!

Right now I am imagining the beautiful golden society I'd be living in now if we had somehow domesticated and farmed for their flesh the mighty hippopotamus. I'd be a better man for sure.

Some of the most memorable stories from UYD focus on Jonathan's misadventures. He is a man at peace with the fact that he has been, at times, a bit of a gently caress-up.

Dave...maybe not so much.

In a really strange way, tony and the shotgun is probably one of the few truly 'feel good' stories to come out of the podcast.

They did a series of eps about the Los Angeles PD early on, and one of those (#2: James Davis Years)had a genuinely decent guy in conflict with some real scumbags, with a bonkers coda to the whole story for a perfect finish.

I think it was LAPD 2 that had the soup kitchen guy.


yeah, that's the one. it was the James Davis LAPD ep. you're sort of remembering it wrong tho. he was an ultra Christian dude who was cheating on his wife with a massage therapist/sex worker, and he was so conflicted about it he tried to commit suicide. he survived and then his wife agreed to an open marriage, and then he bankrolled a sex lube business run by his side girl. and this is just the closing chapter to an epic tale of police corruption being brought to heel by a litigious christian cafeteria baron.

I think he was just reciting text from sites on the cast without mentioning his sources. one of them found out about it and called him out.

I'm a little surprised neither of them happened to know the word for "thing you put on an ox to attach a plow to it." I didn't think a yoke was that obscure.

it's the running theme of the podcast that these dudes don't know a lot of words and the words they do know they don't know how to pronounce. add another word to the list.

Didn’t Greg start taking his dog’s Xanax and almost die because it is tuned for canine metabolism?

yeah, he got real hosed up on dog pills. as distant as I am from it, it's just hilarious. not so much for Greg and those close to him, I guess.

I get the sense that Gareth didn’t think Colonel Sanders was a real person.

well I dunno, it's easy to assume. Ronald McDonald wasn't a real-rear end clown who ran a burger joint. the Burger King never wore the crown.

the real Sanders is sort of a human cartoon, tbf.
