Recently started listening and was starting to get pretty into them but they did an online gambling ad in a time where online gambling is really hitting its stride as an epidemic. Too bad.

So great! Who knew history could be funny…especially American history!

Dave really does hate The West Wing (an irrelevant television program from sometime long ago). Also, did you know white people are evil racists. Gareth is funny and good.

These guys suuuuuuuuck

I only like the live ones, I feel you guys are funnier with a crowd watching you, Dave is, and FOR SURE Gary, I mean Gareth is 10x funnier live than with the two of them alone. It’s been some months since you guys have let a live one out, please fix! You aren’t as funny sitting alone with mics in a garage.

My favorite podcast. Checks all of the boxes for me, informative, leftist, comedic. A lot of these stories should be taught in American schools but you won’t find a shred of ‘em. Check out Gareth’s other podcast point VS point for a good laugh. Keep up the good work boys, been listening since 2017. Anybody complaining about them being uninformed or anything like that is a moron and should be ignored. These podcasts are extensively researched and all of the sources are listed so you can go and research it yourself.

Super funny. Every episode is a must listen. A friendly request to improve the audio of guests on the Past Times. They must be coming in remotely via zoom or some app. They often sound much different and from a poor quality connection, and it’s too distracting. Send them a mic with a return shipping box and label or something.

I have enjoyed your podcasts, but recently Dave's repeated attempts to trash Jimmy Dore (at least once per episode) appear petty.

This podcast has been great from the start. All other podcasts are just copies of the dollop

Been listening for years, love the show.

Was introduced to the show via the Cautionary Tales collaboration, but I only made it through 10 minutes of the Dollop. One of the hosts is really loud and the other host basically whispers through the podcast like he's trying ASMR. If you crank the volume, 10 seconds later your eardrums will explode while EVERYONE STARTS SHOUTING. The audio quality is also mediocre to poor. It sounds like they are recording on cheap mics without a robust lower register, so it feels like you're listening to them on super treble. Can't speak a lot to the content. The sound was so poor that I couldn't get past it. However, in the few minutes I listened, the whispery host tried to equate Winston Churchill with Hitler. This is the kind of thing an idiot would say when trying to sound provocative. I found my brief experience aggravating in every sense. Giving two stars instead of one because they were funny on Cautionary Tales, so go listen to that instead.

Unfunny and uninformed. And way too long. Don’t waste your time.

In a world where there’s one million numskulls doing 3 hour long podcasts of unfunny riffing, I don’t know why anyone would spend their time listening to this one. These guys try to desperately hard to be funny but nothing lands. Like the equivalent of that idiot classmate in grade school trying as hard as he can to make the class laugh over and over again but everyone just wishes he would shut up. They try to riff after every single sentence they read from their sheet. And they’re not funny at all! Obnoxious boneheads. Grow up!

You never knew history was this funny…don’t try more than two episodes unless you’re ready to be hooked. Dave Anthony has single-handedly given me permission to stand up for what I believe. Gareth Reynolds reps the Midwest—but will straight up make you piss yourself. My only request would be more reverse dollops. The bananas backwards podcasts are *chefs kiss* flawless. Muah! Dave is a shockingly satisfying recipient of whatever knowledge Gareth spills—and the unexpected table turn is so frickin hot.

Gareth I haven’t thought of the movie Radio since it came out. 🤣🤣

No thanks,

Gareth is amazing. Dave has lost his touch and isn’t funny at all when he tries to be. Really liked the podcast in the beginning years ago, but relistening to new stuff, Dave is pretty useless in the comedy department

Please involve Karen Kilgariff in all the new podcasts. It’s too good.

Good for laughs, but Dave is the epitome of the Dunning-Kruger effect when it comes to historical knowledge or understanding.. He really should talk to actual history majors before each episode. (Also, the Cabeza de Vaco episode should just be deleted and done over. )

Quite literally can’t get enough of these 2 knuckleheads.

This was one of my first podcasts and I’ve never let it drop. Dave and Gareth are a great pair and I learn as much as I giggle!

Love these fools

Watched Gareth on the smoking tire podcast on Youtube. Decided to check out this show and glad I did! Awesome show! Started at episode 1, listening to all. :)

I like when the smart guy tells the other guy something and that guy does a silly voice

Simply put, this is the greatest comedy podcast of all time. If you’ve never heard it yet, treat yourself to a listen. I recommend starting from the very beginning at episode one and working your way through. Some of those first few episodes really give you a glimpse into how this became such a successful podcast.

Please add Naomi she is the best!!!😊

Gareth, the stars and bars refers to the confederate flag, the actual confederate flag not the one shaped like an “x”. The Stars and Stripes is the nickname for the flag of the United States.

Men of exquisite passion educating you on US history.

I really enjoy your Podcast. It keeps me in a good mood while I am on the road. (I’m an escaped Felon). Jim

I feel like this podcast should be subtitled, the radicalization of Gareth. Lol he started the pod as a liberal comedian, and after about 500 episodes is now a full blown radical lefty. Well done, Dave! You love to see it! The more you know, the more you realize how messed up it all is and what needs to be done about it. Keep up the excellent content. I love every episode! The world needs to know this stuff. It’s a crime that these stories have been swept under the rug and/or sanitized. Our education system in this country is garbage. Keep fighting the good fight! ✊🏼 #solidarity

I'm a Plussy man, and a Patty man. Dave likes me. "Gary!" Haha!

The one-star reviews are from people who get mad at Dave for pronouncing words how they’re spelled.

You guys have the best banter and the most interesting topics! They playoff each other so well and are entertaining. You won't regret if you're listening to them. Give them a try

Love being told history in such a funny way! You guys are incredible humans, thank you for all you do!

It’s the best podcast ever, just listen and follow l, you won’t be disappointed and if you are, your not our kinda folk anyway…The Dollop is my happy place❤️

Amazing subjects, great interplay between the hosts, and flat-out hilarious. Dave's laugh took some getting used to, but it's now just an endearing part of a great comedian. And they both are amazingly adept at European dialect, particularly Irish accents. I feel like I now know Michael Malloy personally. Thanks for the incredible (and twice weekly!!) show! **Edit 4/21/17 I went to the live Dollop show in SLC, and happened to run into Dave and Gar(eth)y on the street. They were delightful. :). After the show, they remembered bumping into me outside, signed my poster and took a bunch of pictures. Podcast content 10/10, Dave and Gary as humans are also 10/10.

Hilarious and informative. What else could you ask for?

That’s really pretty much it. I’ve been a listener for a few years now, and I think they’re great. Thanks for making this podcast guys!❤️

Doesn’t get funnier or more informative than The Dollop. Bravo and thank you!

Used to be cool before it got political

I've been listening to these two for quite a while now. It IS a history podcast. The subjects are generally interesting. Dave, the host, knows how to pronounce many words, but can't be bothered to learn things like pronunciation or definitions. That's fun. Gareth is genuinely funny, and without him the podcast would probably not exist. Unfortunately, thanks to a staggering number of "Jesus Christ" responses, he can now officially be replaced with a soundboard. Other than that, unneccessary laughter from Dave for fun and silly asides from Gareth sometimes kill the flow of the show so much you forget who is being talked about and why. Otherwise, it's a good listen.

How is the Dollop rated clean

This is the best podcast for Historical content as well as a great laugh. SO MANY great episodes over the last 10 years and counting!

I always recommend The Dollop (both the regular American podcast and England and UK) to anyone who likes weird facts, is decidedly irreverent and raunchy, and needs a good laugh. So basically, all the cool kids! Dave and Gareth never fail to fascinate and tickle me! (See what I did there?) P.S. I *adore* The Pasttimes!! As much as I love learning about obscure (and often important) history, I love those episodes even more! P.P.S. I hate to dock any stars, or say anything negative, but… well, despite being aligned with almost everything Gareth and Dave believe, Dave can be a lot to handle sometimes. His anger and rants get to be too much. Gareth, though, I’d listen to talk about literally anything, endlessly! (I’ve been loving We’re Here to Help as well!)

If Dave Anthony could just put together good episodes without trying to end them by drawing comparisons to modern problems that reinforce his extreme political opinions, this would be one of the biggest podcasts around. Using the platform to force your mindset on the listener is selfish and unprofessional as an educational host, especially when your opinions are college socialist tier. One doesn’t have to wonder why Dave has replies, comments and everything In between turned off on social media. Gareth is great on every other podcast i’ve heard him on, it seems like he just goes with most of it and doesn’t really care.

Bring the song back

My biggest obsession. Thank you for this. Jesus really DOES love me. This is how I know. Because THIS exists. As does his spirit in us all. Deep inside.

My favorite podcast. Educational and funny.

I love history and couldn’t believe my luck when I found this podcast. Amazing storytelling and laugh out loud moments every listen or re-listen.

All of Dave’s jokes are either sex jokes or him pretending to be a woman, and his improv is not good. It would be better if he stuck to the story and let Garreth make the jokes. Also, it seems like Dave is sometimes uninformed and doesn’t do enough research into the topics. He ends up making up answers to questions and guessing instead of saying “I don’t know,” which is pretty lame.
