As an aviation nerd I enjoyed the Dole Plane Race episode. The sound is kind of fucky on it but it's still listenable. It's not exactly funny though as most of the contestants crash and die.

The Falcon and the Snowman is also just a great one for pure ‘WTF’ moments

if we're doing "great Dollops" again I will go to bat for the Willie Dee being among the best, because it's a great hook if you want someone to start listening to the Dollop you could do a lot worse than "hey do you want to hear about the Navy ship that shot a torpedo at the President?"

The Col. Sanders one is pretty drat good But yes, it's very funny that Gareth doesn't figure it out until the midway point

It took him until the second episode about opioids to realize Dave was saying Bayer and not Bear.

Every time I hear a story about rich people getting exotic pets drunk as party entertainment it blows my loving mind. I'm stealing it as a hook for Dungeons and Dragons.

I just finished the Evan Mecham episodes and I'm not a huge politics follower so the whole time I was thinking "Huh...THAT Ed Buck?" yes, THAT Ed Buck

Can’t believe I haven’t listened to the dollop for 2 years now. It used to be my favorite podcast. And then one day I stopped. That happens a lot with me, I have to admit. Are the new episodes still as good ? Any recommendations? Only read the last pages here and saw a lot old ones mentioned that I still remember.

Yeah you just have to be selective. There are a lot more "Dave is angry at politics" episodes now, which was why I sort of fell off, but there are still plenty of classic Dollop moron episodes too. I can't remember names because I'm elderly and broken but there were a couple recent-ish baseball episodes that were good.

The Rube and Dolphin Fucker are the greatest Dollops and I will hear no arguments about The Rube.

There’s a ten ep dollop uk as it’s own podcast that is absolute gold. I think that was within the last two years? They were touring there right before covid or right during or something. Also just stop listening to things is normal I do that all the time. Usually I pick things up months or years later and turns out i was actually still really into it and it’s a great feast of content. Sometimes people are dead. Or have moved to Stitcher Premium.

Yeah, that UK Dollop has been sitting there between my other podcasts to listen to for years. I'll have to take the plunge at some point.

Truck Nuts was one of the most surreal things to listen to because it made me realize that I sort of knew and had spoken with one of the alleged inventors many, many times with zero knowledge of his involvement in truck nuts. After hearing it, all I could think was "yeah, that adds up. He'd definitely do that."

I think my all time favorite "broken Gareth" moment is in The Caning of Charles Sumner episode, when Dave tells him (don't remember the actual numbers) that like 57 Representatives voted to expel him from the House, and Gareth starts to say "well sure, great" but Dave continues on with "which was 4 short of the number needed" and Gareth just audibly dies.

I'm pretty sure there's a similar setup in the Hayes/Tilden Election episode, where over half the senate votes one way, Gareth is relieved, and then Dave reveals that they need a two-thirds majority and he just breaks. Also: "Tony the fuckin' Tiger is in cahoots!?!?" I know I've mentioned this one before and it's not quite "breaking" him, but the ending of the James Otis episode (the man who Babe Ruth'd being struck by lightning) is great. "I want to keep talking about this for another half hour!"

“I would never do an episode about a guy who cut off his own dick. *pause* So he went home, grabbed a pair of scissors and cut off his…” That segue was just so perfect.
