Earlier episodes were hilarious! And on the Rube episode they said "idk if I'm going to cover that, I don't want to get political". Fast forward like a year from that episode, you can't get them to talk about anything except politics. Like we came here to laugh, if we wanted nonstop politics, we could turn on CNN or The View. I miss the old days when we could talk about something else and actually laugh for at least a hour.

Love that movie so much! My favorite is the dude who says “maybe an orange, or a sticker. Thank you for bringing back that memory from the late 1900s!!

Thank you for the entertainment

Love the stories. Long time listener first time reviewer. Oh and 5 stars because I only leave 5 star reviews. Anything less listen to something else

I literally couldn’t listen to this. One guy was so quiet I had to turn the volume ip to hear him… then the other guy was so loud it hurt my ear. Had to stop listening. Would be nice if both had a similar volume.

I just started listening a couple weeks ago and I’m addicted! This podcast has been cracking me up!

Really enjoy this podcast. Great distraction from these chaotic times. Binge listening. Playing catch up.

I can’t listen to more than one or two episodes at a time because I’m laughing too hard

I love this podcast. My therapist literally recommended it to me because I needed to have more laughter in my life. The folks at my work may legitimately think I’ve lost my mind. Win some you lose some.

The guy turned into piss.

Dave and Gareth bring the funny to the already ridiculous history of mankind. I know I'm late to the party, but I just discovered this podcast and have become instantly addicted. I listen to it at my desk (I work in a warehouse, not recommended for CPAs and receptionists) and it helps cope with my horrendous hours. Also, you could stand to learn a little more stuff.

Dave Anthony is so funny! I like how he says stuff. I can tell that he knows how dumb people who lived in the past were. He hates the television show “The West Wing”. He thinks it was very important.

Good politics Good history Great comedy Keep up the great work lads!

Pay no mind to the salty reviews. If you are a woman steeped in hyper vigilance and in need of a place where you can let your guard down, you’ve found it. You won’t find yourself on the receiving end of a notallmen scolding while listening to The Dollop.

Two completely mentally caught up jagoffs

That’s really pretty much it. I’ve been a listener for about 9 years now, and I think they’re great. Thanks for making me laugh so hard Dave and Gareth❤️ Oh, and I probably learned stuff too! Also, Gareth’s mum is delightful!

Jimmy dore has never been funny

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!

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!
