It's....checks notes.....Dave Anthony of The Dollop. Go to 1hr 31min.

He's calling for pitchforks and setting shit on fire basically. Are the libs alright?

About time tbh. 400,000 dead folks.

According to reddit the last half hour, with the monologue, was cut from platforms like Spotify and Overcast.

edit: didn't realise this came out 27 days ago. Just compared player.fm to soundcloud. It looks like on player.fm they cut the speech from 1.31 onwards, but then pasted in the last 3 seconds of the ep where Dave says "Oh well, we tried".

edit: dave is not a lib I was wrong. Someone with a twitter account should ask him how he feels about his fire speech being cut from major platforms.

edit: well this has been a trip. seems like the platforms didn't edit it, Dave did, after the Capitol happened. Because people wanted him to "stop being political", he says. Weird. I think he came under pressure tbh, whether from family, legal advisers, or the platform.

There's discussion on it here: https://reddit.com/r/TheDollop/comments/kszvjx/dave_and_gareths_discussion_at_the_end_of_lucy/

    Dave edited it because libs complained Dave was "ruining the show with politics" and he basically lost his shit and deleted it to shut them up. Hang on I'll find the link. He was not happy about it.

          Thanks, so it wasn't the platforms editing it. He edited it himself. Better change the op again.

            Yeah it seems weird for Dave to give in like that. I agree with your OP that he got pressure from somewhere. Especially given that the network they're on was sold to Spotify that same week. Doesn't seem like a coincidence.

              There it is, probably. Dunno, he said in the speech (I took it as kind of a bit) that "My wife is a Doctor, I'n gonna be alright, maybe I should just dip out and think about baseball" so he's probably not that dependent on the pod income. Like I said, I dunno.

              btw, seems like your posting from hospital? If so, top posting, o7, get out of there whenever you can. Had hiccups one time for a couple of hours, drove me crazy.

                You might be right. Dave is usually such a "IDGAF" guy though, it just seems odd he gave in so easily.

                Yeah, I'm posting via vpn from a hospital bed. I'm here til March, I'm waiting on a kidney operation and its been pushed back twice so far but I'm not well enough to go home because if anything happens, I may not have very long for them to react. I'm now also waiting on a vaccine dose because I'm pretty much done for if I catch it. So it's a lot of boredom and waiting around at the moment.

                My worst hiccup experience was the time I had them for a week straight and I kept waking myself up hiccuping. Or the time I hiccupped crawling through a very small gap whilst caving with a youth group and I broke three ribs when my chest expanded to hiccup and was constrained by the solid rock. Im pretty much used to it though. It's embarrassing when you're in public and in a lift or queuing and you're stuck making abrupt squeaking noises and everyone keeps turning around to look at you.

                  o7. holy sheet you hardcore fucker. Nice story to slip in there casual :) Surprised the rock didn't crack.

                  You sound determined, you will get through this. Message me anytime you want to chat or whatever, I'm sure hospital can be a boring fuck.

                    Thanks, I may take you up on that. I'm kinda bored here most of the time and there's literally one other person on my ward who only wakes up to watch soaps and eat and sleeps the rest of the time and I don't have the energy to get up and do anything except lie here and read/post/watch trash tv (I literally have to ask for help getting out of this damn bed half the time). So genuinely thank you.

                    Also yeah it was bloody painful and I was stuck in a cave for like an hour and a half after. Not the best time to break your ribs, rock isn't a forgiving substance. And of course my hiccups didn't stop, so I was wincing every 30 seconds or so.
