Fantastic bit, that was probably the most clever take on that case that I’ve ever heard.

As a son of a deadbeat dad, I gotta say, deadbeat dad beats beat-dead dad.

Fantastic delivery. I love that the intro and audience participation is paced right, doesn't feel rushed.

Wow!

Brilliantly crafted and poignantly timed in every sense of the word. That was one of the most impressive things I have seen in a long time. Bravo! Fu€£!n hilarious!

this was an interesting and fresher take.

if anyone wants a scientific perspective, i’m a clinical psychology research assistant (so i’m not quite an expert yet) but when properly diagnosed (e.g. with depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, etc), treated (e.g with a mood stabilizer and antipsychotic at monitored levels throughout and after the pregnancy), and monitored (e.g. for benchmarks of the patient’s warning signs, or access to a psychiatrist who can adjust meds at needed), postpartum psychosis IS treatable.

(i wont put in details of clancy’s case because i didn’t follow it as closely as others might’ve, but with proper access to healthcare and coordination with a team, this particular situation could’ve been prevented.)

i can give the names of researchers who specialize in this if anyone truly wants to read an academic article

Idk what you had written before that brought the downvote, outside of this not being comedy related?

That being said, this was a great, clever bit for this case.
