Accidentally opened this on my phone yesterday instead of the Giant Bomb thread, and that was a happy mistake because this thing is loving hysterical. So far my favorite episode is Ghosts.

I generally have waved off the idea that Gareth is dumb for not knowing this stuff, since it's mostly really obscure. But then I hit one of the last ones I have left, the talking board episode, and he drops the "Ben Franklin wasn't a president?" bomb on me. :psyduck: I mean, come on Gary, kids know that poo poo.

My Dollop pain is any time they come up against history they aren't talking about currently (oh my god that Talleyrand poo poo) or current politics. I couldn't finish the test site episode because of their idiocy regarding nuclear politics.

This week on the Dollop, Gary's doctrinal thesis on ethics and theology.

Australia Man is very annoying and seems more like he's lurking off to one side of the stage rather than being a guest.

Its not the best, but the Samuel Whittemore episode does have the funniest exchange I've ever heard.

"Hey, are you gonna retire?"
"gently caress NO, RETIRE'S GONNA ME!"

Whenever I try to get someone on the Dollop this is the one I use.

Have Dave and Gary responded yet? Last I heard from them was 'we will respond soon'. I really hope they aren't dicks about this and they acknowledge that they are in the wrong. I love the podcast and I really hope this can be resolved somewhat amicably.

They were both kind of smug about it on Twitter and acted annoyed that though was made public.

I've gotten back on board after dropping it ages ago from the huge fit that Dave threw about the plagiarism business. That's handled now, it's fine, I'm liking the series, but I can't remember: which episode is about that guy who ran soup kitchens and whatnot, and then at the end the final twist is that he was secretly running a sex toy empire and in a three way relationship? Did a bunch of the episodes just get purged after the fiasco? It seems like it, I can't identify from the list which one was about the 3 guys who all thought they were Jesus and I believe that's the one that triggered said fiasco.

I'm back on the Dollop train again, and just listened to the jetpack episode. I expected it to be about the history of crazy jetpack invention attempts, but no, it's Record of the Rocket Wars holy gently caress.

I think The Rube is still probably the easiest intro.

Nothing dark, nice guy, funny story, easy to follow.

Basically the only cardinal sin dollop ads don't commit is midrolling. Otherwise: they go on forever, they don't have any distinguishing music to mark the segment, and they roll in after the there song. And christ almighty it's often 10 minutes an episode.

Dave's attitude invites a lot of it. Especially when he gets real smug over some incorrect conclusion he's made.

Mind, that same attitude makes it pointless to actual try to correct or criticize him so the people actually reaching out on Twitter or whatever are nuts. As for this thread, anyone should be able to be positive or negative about it as they like as long as it doesn't get super weird? It's not like Dave posts here.

Worth mentioning is there's actually one other guy who Gary missed after Onada:

Who doesn't get the same treatment because he wasn't ethnically Japanese.

It's one of the most egregious examples of Dave and Gary squeezing every last drop out of a bit that wasn't great to start with.

ALSO, rather strange to have a lady guest on for this episode about how women get poo poo on and uh... having her be nearly silent WHILE they do their dumb bits.

Countless podcasts somehow make it by just fine with only a single, minute long ad, weirdly enough
