Can't wait to hear the Chapo Trap House guys as guests. I wonder if Dave will be doing a story with a more political bent?

Which episode first mentions Cleveland rivers being set on fire? After the Garrett Morgan episode and relistening to Balloonfest episode, I need to know more about this apparently lovely city.

Was that the same guy who was super-Christian and also opened a great big diner (or maybe it was a soup kitchen)?

Clifton's Cafeteria, which is an awesome restaurant in Los Angeles. I mean, honestly, look at this place. This was Part 2 of the LAPD series, by the way.

I think there was something with a tax deduction that made it so that doing a show there cost less money than just sitting at home and drinking a beer that night.

Since they're doing a comedy show there, they can write it off as a business expense.

They need to have the Chapo guys on more. "What an ironic end for you, Officer Head-Attached-To-Body" is one of my favorite jokes

Agreed, though being on opposite sides of the country will probably make that pretty difficult. Regardless, Chapo Trap House is quickly becoming one of my favorite podcasts.

If anyone wants to hear Dave Anthony lead a very depressing and scary discussion about climate change, check him out on the Left Coast podcast.

So, I didn't realize our current opioid crisis could pretty much be traced back to one horrendous company. Now I don't know who's worse, Purdue or Uber. Goddamn.

Also, any other LA fans planning on going to the show on July 16th that Gareth mentioned?

This thread recommended Last Podcast On the Left as a deeply dark version of the The Dollop many many pages back, and I finally took the recommendation - fun trip, but probably not for everyone. Any other favourite Dollopalikes? Learning combined with funny is most of what I'm looking for.

The Dollop remains first in my heart.

I haven't actually listened to it but My Favorite Murder gets talked up a lot. The two hosts guested on the Dollop once (the Bat Boy live episode) and it's highly recommended by just about everyone.

Seconding The Rube, Jet Pack Madness, and Animal Horror of Macquarie Island. All absolutely mindblowing and endlessly relistenable.

Maybe I'm just jaded after so many Dollops, maybe it was too long, maybe I'm just tired of hearing about Trump, but I was a little...underwhelmed? I thought the Uber episode was a much better "crazy bullshit going on right now" episode.

I'm going through the archives, and I just noticed Episode 63 is missing. Anyone know what episode that was/why it's gone?

See also Mashers and Hatpins, in which we learn women used to stab catcallers with the giant spikes that were holding dead birds in place on their heads.

If there's one thing I've learned from the Dollop (and these cartoons) it's that alcohol has really been the engine of history.

Been really into this podcast recently, after being recommended the episodes on Trump and the Iraq war, which are still some of my favorites. Are there any more episodes on recent political history stuff?

There are episodes on Ferguson, Ross Perot, Enron, and Uber (not really political, but still great) you can check out.

vvvvv edit: Forgot about Jade Helm. That's a great one.

Where's my animated dollop tv series with Dave as Mr.Peabody and Gary as Sherman.

Or a quantum leap type show of going to a different time period each episode and wishing to get out after seeing the crazy.

I think a "Drunk History" type of show with Dave and Gareth as narrators and actors dramatizing the story would be great. They could even get Jack Black to play the Rube.

Saw someone on Facebook post this. Apparently "Jane O'Brien" is still out there.

EDIT: It was a bit. Leaving this up as a monument to my extreme gullibility.

Heads up: The Netflix documentary series "Wild Wild Country" covers Acharya Rajneesh from Episode 22 (the Indian sex cult that tried to poison people with salmonella and bussed in homeless people to sway elections). Haven't watched it yet but heard good reviews.

We really need a �most recommended episodes� list in the OP. Ones I see come up most often:

The Rube
Michael Molloy
Jet Pack Madness
All the baseball ones

I�ll also throw in a rec for the recent live ep with James Adomian for being thoroughly entertaining from the get-go.

I don't care when Dave mispronounces things, but, it does strike me as odd just how much Dave doesn't bother to look up pronunciations.
