Because the Constitution is all about the right to bare arms.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_Universal_Friend

“The Public Universal Friend (born Jemima Wilkinson; November 29, 1752 – July 1, 1819) was an American preacher born in Cumberland, Rhode Island, to Quaker parents. After suffering a severe illness in 1776, the Friend claimed to have died and been reanimated as a genderless evangelist named the Public Universal Friend, and afterward shunned both birth name and gendered pronouns. In androgynous clothes, the Friend preached throughout the northeastern United States, attracting many followers who became the Society of Universal Friends.”

I just listened to this and I think we need to bring back Pope Day. This time we'll call it Oligarch Day and we all go out and burn effigies of billionaires on giant bonfires in the streets.

That's it, I just wanted to share that.

Is this guy related to Gary???

Plack in Stevensville, MT commemorating our favorite dairy caper! Once summer hits and the trees bloom I'll get a picture of the whole little alley park that's there, cause it's pretty nice.

I have asked for this before but didn't get much response, so I thought I'd throw it out there again now we're coming up to ep 700. Some of you are aware of my Master Spreadsheet and thanks to those who keep linking it in this subreddit! I would like it to be up to date as much as possible by September when we reach 700. Since episode 500 I have added a couple more categories, including Episode Summaries, which I think is super useful considering the actual ep summaries in the shownotes are often variations on the theme of 'man does thing', lol. I have done a lot of them already over the last couple of years as I do random re-listens, but since I simply DO not have time to listen to all of them again, I could really use the hive mind to help me fill the rest (mostly the earliest episodes). Everyone with the link should be able to leave comments in the relevant cells, which I will then review before adding.

What I'm looking for - About 20 words or so that sum up the topic of the episode. Can be witty and fun but also clear and helpful to anyone either wanting to know more OR searching for a particular episode. Should include the name of the main character, if that name is not already in the episode title. Can also include a key date if that date is not the start or end date of the story (which are already recorded)

Examples:

William Buckley: Giant convict escapes the Port Phillip penal colony and starts a new life as an Aboriginal elder reborn

The Rabbit Situation: Royal Surgeon Nathaniel St Andre and others investigate Mary Toft, who keeps giving birth to rabbits

Some of them are just names at this point (to help people searching) and others could probably be improved - feel free to comment on anything you think could be better.

Other categories that need help - cross over characters & 'other media'. Other media can be documentaries, other podcasts, tv, movies, etc. Cross over characters was my idea to record people who show up in multiple dollops. I might get rid of it? If it was totally accurate it would probably end up mostly being American presidents let's be honest. But feel free to add stuff there too if you find anything.

Thanks Dollheads!

Apparently they didn’t know what they were signing about according to the YouTube comments

How much of the 1908 New York to Paris episode can we reenact???

It’s been that kind of weekend for me. I need this episode!

Anyone else read the books or watch the TV series? Mainly the bit where the 1% cause a stock market crash so they can aford to build a space ship to leave the dying planet earth.

Jay Leno is the new Tankman. He is going after the mob or cartel that keeps stomping him out. https://youtube.com/shorts/RyDsKlaf_Bo?si=pffDmctuBeEDsiCT

They invaded Canada I think it's time for a new Irish Republic in the US.

Listening to an old episode and caught the ad for Action Bible Resources. Jtown doesn’t just rely on jet skis and skateboards to engage the kids. Saving souls one Dollop at a time heheh😇😈
