I just found this podcast through this thread...this podcast is amazing!

Edit: The documentary Tickled was insane. Does anyone know when the episode was recorded in relation to the documentary being filmed?

I've listened to a lot of episodes of the Dollop over the last 5 days:

Cliven Bundy
Purity Balls
Competitive Endurance Tickling (and then watched Tickled on HBO right after that)
The Dolphin
John Africa
LAPD Saga
Cassius Clay
Newport Sex Scandal
Lenny Dykstra
Fans of Philadelphia
Centralia, PA
Action Park!
The Iraq War
Story of Atari
Broderick Terry Duel
Philadelphia Mayor Frank Rizzo
Americas Worst Lottery Winner
Norco Shootout
Uber
Caning of Sumner

Are there any MUST LISTEN episodes that I haven't hit yet? Newport Sex Scandal was so hilarious, it's mind blowing that poo poo like that actually happened.

Awesome thank you! Rube, Jet Pack Madness and Dark Secrets of Swimming Pills are next on my list! I also really enjoy the episodes where a guy sounds almost mythical (Caning of Sumner and Broderick Terry Duel).

Fun, mostly lighter, episodes, with my short descriptions:

-Count Dante - he had a lion IN a dojo!
-James Sullivan and the Olympics (live with Rory Scovel) - the craziest 8-month-long Olympic Games ever
-The Egg Nog Riot - West Point students gone wild
-The Straw Hat Riot - people did not like other people wearing straw hats in September
-The Pig War (live with the Stop Podcasting Yourself guys, Dave and Graham) - a tiny island is a huge deal. I like SPY, but I thought Dave (Shumka) kind of dragged this one down a bit. Graham seemed to be getting into it a bit more. the story is pretty fun.
-Disco Demolition Night - baseball game + event night = crazy poo poo happens
-Ten Cent Beer Night - baseball game + event night + very very cheap beer = crazy poo poo happens
-Hugh Motherfucking Glass - Dave typed "who is America's biggest badass?" into google and that's how he discovered Hugh Glass. iirc, there is some graphic description of his wounds, but the story is more about how he's a badass mountain man.
-Michael Malloy - an Irishman who just wouldn't die
-History of Domino's Pizza - reverse Dollop about the guy who founded Domino's
-America's Greatest Sack of Flour - it's not just a sack of flour. yes it is.
-The Bunion Derby - a race put together by morons and assholes

Thanks! Listening to Disco Demolition now!

Straw Hat Riot - Amazing
Hugh Glass - Holy poo poo what a bad rear end
Worst VP Ever, Richard Johnson - Eh
Boxer Tim "Doc" Anderson - So sad
Actor Rivalry - I was almost pissing myself I was laughing so hard
The Cereal Men - I couldn't get into this one (although I laughed really hard at the Graham Cracker reveal)
Stagecoach Mary - Really interesting. For some reason I had always thought she robbed Stagecoaches
The History of Bowling in the United States - I never thought Bowling could be entertaining but Dave and Gareth know the crazy poo poo I love

Thank you all so much for the recommendations! The Dollop has replaced just about every other media I used to consume because I enjoy listening and laughing so much.

I really enjoy this podcast a ton. I'm glad I finally found it, and it was totally on accident too because the first episode I listened to was the one about Killdozer (that was one of the ones that got hidden). What was the resolution to that? Was there anything that happened or did Dave just start listing his sources better?

I just started listening to this. It’s quite good. I have a couple questions.

1. Did anyone else think that in the Boston Corbett episode, the old guy who claimed to be John Wilkes Booth and turned into a cursed mummy was going to turn out to be Boston Corbett?

2. What are the best episodes for new listeners? The OP has some suggestions but it is from 2014 and I’m not sure those episodes are stil representitive.

Page 42 and 43 are suggestions that I asked for and they are all incredible.

My favorite moment across this whole podcast is 1:19:30 into The Cereal Men (46) where Gary has this incredible moment of realization about the larger role this guy plays in American history. What episodes have similarly dramatic revelations by one of the hosts?

I can't think of any off the top of my head, but I always like when Gareth has those revelations.

All the recommended episodes are awesome, but really what I suggest is listen to ones you think sound interesting and go from there. There are very few outright bad episodes. The one that I loving love is "247 - The Falling Pilot." I was so compelled by that episode that I sat in my car for 15 minutes just to finish it.
