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

He ain’t

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.

Laugh out loud podcast. Truly hilarious.

I listened off and on for years but I can’t even get through an episode without completely losing interest these days. It feels like this went from being an American history podcast with comedy, to a comedy podcast with a story. Old episodes had amazing historically poignant stories full of twists, details, and thought provoking perceptions caused by looking at things from a modern lens. But now I rarely find the topics interesting, the comedy is almost entirely made up of inside jokes or a weird, forced tension between the hosts. Plus the production quality has taken a dive from bad balancing to tinny reverb, and each episode is told with such monotone that it’s hard to skip back if I missed something due to that lack of auditory cues. On top of all that the hosts sound like their being held hostage. Dave sounds like he hates being there, hates Gareth, hates the audience, and hates the podcast, while Gareth sounds like he’s jonesing for a cigarette and will get one if he can just make Dave laugh. I really wish they’d return to a format of storyteller and funny guy, instead of both of them battling for comedic supremacy. Or at least let Gareth in on the story so that the riffs can at least relate back to the topic better.

The Dollop is such a great and unique show. I recommend it all the time. Everyone loves it Past Times is great but please - when you ask Garfie and the guest to guess, read the title of the first article. It’ll add a lot of fun

Absolutely unbearable to listen to. This isn’t funny and the hosts just talk over each other. How is this a podcast?

It is a spicy meatball in the best way possible.

You are my best friends, thanksssss

I’ve listened to every episode, the good ones many times. Listening to the latest past times right now - guys, please read Devil in the White City. It ties in…

I love listening to you guys. Keep it up!!!

This podcast makes me laugh hard. So hard in fact that I’m nervous listening to it while driving, which is problematic, because I’m a trucker. It’s worth the risk, though.
