The United States of Absurdity: Untold Stories from American History

The creators of the podcast The Dollop present profiles of the weird, outrageous, NSFW, and downright absurd tales from American history that you weren't taught in school. The United States of Absurdity presents short, informative, and hilarious stories of the most outlandish (but true) people, events, and more from United States history. Comedians Dave Anthony and Gareth Reynolds cover the weird stories you didn't learn in history class, such as 10-Cent Beer Night, the Jackson Cheese, and the Kentucky Meat Shower.

Not much new for current Dollop fans, but still a slight retelling of favorite eps. HoratioCornholer I really love the Dollop podcast. I've heard every single episode they've released.

For longtime fans this book is like having our favorite stories on hand at any time. For someone new to the world of The Dollop i
