WILOSOPHY: Dave Anthony "The Reality of What We Are Is Crazy"

It might shock you to know that The Dollop podcast host Dave Anthony has never done a Wilosophy episode before. For the uninitiated, Dave has been on more TOFOP/FOFOP episodes than we can count, and has been slogging it in the podcast space for even longer than Wil and Charlie.  Wil and Dave reflect on their early days as podcast pioneers, recalling a time when the medium was a raw, DIY audio space before becoming pseudo TV Shows with way worse pay.  They dive deep into the rising threat of AI to human creativity, and how it really can't replace the joy of creating something for ourselves. Like have you ever looked at something AI created and been in awe? Really? Dave also shares personal insights on his stand-up journey, from getting hooked on making people laugh and getting kicked out of mime camp, to his acclaimed show Hothead.  Plus, they chat about environmentalism, time travel, parenting, breaking down American exceptionalism through historical storytelling (cue The Dollop), and navigating modern grief.
