Dana Gould Live at the Irvine Improv
Podcast: Play in new window
Show Summary
Live from the Irvine Improv, Adam opens the show complaining about the awful traffic on the way into town. Dana Gould is then brought on stage, and Adam recalls back to his days of being kept up all night by his party animal roommates. The guys also chat about what Adam would do if he was a ghost, and take an audience question from a dentist, which leads Adam on a huge rant about flavors of tooth paste and the going rate for the tooth fairy.
In the news, Whitney Houston’s cause of death has been released. They also talk about a new Bill Maher article, a kid who asked a porn star to prom, and a new vibrating tattoo. Later, the guys chat about an interesting new form of protest involving macramé, and Adam explains his new passion fruit allergy campaign. As the show wraps up, the guys discuss the ridiculousness of razor blades and spray paint cans being kept behind bars, and introduce a new form of video communication, Keek.

who’s the whore on the projector
Megan Piper (pornstar)
I thought it was Alison. But of course she’d never let that pic get on there.
OK who is that girl on the left and why are there not several thousand pictures of her here?
Holy shit, guys. Read the synopsis and then put two and two together. For the love of Christ you guys are dumb. And unashamed.
A full synopsis was not posted at the time that I commented. Nice job going down the comments and leaving a bunch of pretentious responses… Chill out and take the stick out of your ass!
Get Andy Fickman back in!
From show credits, “Show Summary: Matt Fondiler”. Kept it short and sweet. Must have had other pressing matters (insert sound effect).
News girl gets a little excited and thinks she’s co-host…..but maybe she is who knows. Good show despite the interruptions though.
Rich Man, Poor Man: Calling Steve Jobs, Stephen Jobs. If you’re rich he was a close personal friend so you call him Stephen. If you’re poor you have no clue who he was so you just start calling him Stephen (Not sure where Adam is at on this one, lol).
Mike and Mike: OMFG: Thanks for showing that pic of Allison with a middriff, now my Libido has a new home. You are so bangin’!!! I love you A. Love your podcast too!!!
Adam: I saw 4 (FOUR!!!) construction workers yesterday, all separate occasions, all off of a work site, wearing their helmets. I think I’ll take a pic next time. One of them was serving himself a “slurpee” type drink in a Walgreens, no I’m not lying. Right across the street from the new Train Station construction site in San Francisco. Just because you never wore your helmet proudly, doesn’t mean there aren’t other brave soldiers showing off their studly, sweaty bodies off to others in this fine City. They were not working, and I don’t think the Slurpee machine was a dangerous machine…
Love your show.
Not Alison. Did that possibility even cross your mind?
Yes, except she never wears non-black, and it wasn’t like it doesn’t look exactly like her. Sorry A Hole.
Adam doesn’t read.
Another (R) hating guest. I’m glad Ace isn’t like that. He’d lose this fan.
Dana Gould, top of the food chain. Always a winner with him!
It must be a west coast thing re: hygienists. My wife and her sister (fair skin, red hair, anglo, etc.) are both hygienists.

Is Dana Gould funny and I’m just missing something? Feels like he forces his comedy too much, doesn’t let the comedy come to him.
Dana Gould is definitely funny…BUT I know what you mean. Things feel very forced at times…some of the comments seemed canned, which is sometimes off-putting.
Adam recycles the same guests over and over again. Dana Gould is okay, but he is not good enough to be on twice a month. Now, it looks like Rosen is just taking the same guests.Why? It’s not entertaining.
Like Alison but in this setting louder doesn’t always equal more funny.
Dana Gould thinks he’s so funny.
Yeah, the lowest form of comedy is the kind that requires you to think and know references.
who’s that chick in the picture (on the screen)?
he is
Great show! Lots of new stories & jokes from the Aceman and plenty of room for everyone else to chime in and be funny too!
nobody better than dana gould. wish he were on once a week, if not more.
Who’s the girl on the screen in the background?
McCartney also wears a toop now too…Where’s the pix?
where is the facebook link for passion fruit?
Dana Gould just needs to go away. All he does is step on Adam and is not even slightly funny. I know Adam likes him simply because Dana’s wife is a big exec… but come on man,,, he is horrible..
dana gould is amazing
GET IT ON!!! COMING TO SEE U IN KANSAS CITY ACEMAN CANT WAIT! GET IT ON!
WOW, everyone needs to make sure they clear their throats before these podcasts. Dana sounds extra phlegmy!
Adam and Dana Gould working the same stage is the “Ground Zero” of comedy! I can’t wait until next Friday’s show at the Uptown here in KC.
No pictures? What gives?
Great show last night. Adam was in rare form, Alison and Bryan were a riot and Dana Gould – what can you say about Mr. Gould (who crossed several lines last night) that can be said in polite company? Dana – and his teeth – added a whole other dimension of comedic disturbia to the evening.
Come back to the OC real soon.
ACE man, saw drive last night. Cranston was Awesome! that shitty car chase cinematic where he goes super fast in reverse, so minor. Bald Bryans got it right, AWESOME MOVIE!
Nice jib with the one sentence summary Matt – you are really out doing yourself. BTW – why doesn’t anyone whip out a phone and take some photos and video at these live shows?
Alison – do your research: “Toxicology results also showed Houston had marijuana, Xanax, the muscle relaxant Flexeril, and the allergy medication Benadryl in her system.”
I’ve never even seen passionfruit iced tea anywhere. I think Adam just eats at rich restaurants too much.
What?! Spider poison is people poison?!
Great show last night. Great seeing everyone since the Beer Keg party a few years ago.
Pleasure meeting Alison and Mike.
Keep it up all.
great show, always better when ace and dana are together. alison is my new best friend and bryan needs to speak up at these live shows. cumon bry bry we all love you. unless you disagree.

THE RETURN OF TOM LEYKIS
Yes dear!!!
That porn star looks like allison……….
…Alison looks like that porn star.
Am I the only one who find this guy… dana gould… terribly unfunny and uninteresting?
Yes.
I’m sorry but Dana Gould is just not funny.
Dana Gould sucks, shouting over people isn’t that funny. He had a couple of decent one-liners but holy shit most of his jokes were horrible. Thankfully, Bald Bryan understands he doesn’t bring a lot to the show besides the drops and keeps out of the way–Alison needs to take note. Overall, the live shows suck pretty hard.
Speaking of people who are are hyped as hilarious, but who have never made me crack a smile, how many times is Dana Gould going to be on this show? His constant interrupting make this episode painful to listen to. Bald Bryan couldn’t get a word in edgewise.
Bryan isn’t there to speak, he’s there to play drops.
People saying Dana Gould isn’t funny are pretty much announcing that they don’t like comedy. It’s kinda like saying you wouldn’t Kim K (As if she’d bang you anyways) would a tell that you aren’t into anal.
Dana Go(u)ld is pure comedic genius and if you think otherwise, then you need your goddamn head examined.
Aceman and crew also bringing the goods as usual.
And to all the whiners who are complaining about people stepping over each other; they’re TRYING to entertain you and for free no less. Would you rather they all just sit there in silence? It’s live comedy and it’s never going to be prefect. If you don’t like it, take you and your vagina and plug into Kevin Smith’s podcast and leave us the piss alone!
“It’s kinda like saying you wouldn’t Kim K would a tell that you aren’t into anal.”
You seriously need to go back to school and learn to write.
And no, I wouldn’t do Kim. I wouldn’t be able to. Her midget legs and disproportionate wide ass gross me out. It’d be like banging some kind of freak.
Alison is better looking than that chick on the screen. She is funny. To you who think Dana Gould isn’t funny, whose famous and got the money? It aint you thats for sure. Its him.Whats up with passion fruit allergies and why are idiots trying to stop it? I love passion fruit tea and juice and fruit.
“For a ghost: porno is two sheets in a dryer”
Down boys, the girl in the pic behind Adam on stage is Megan Piper. Le the spanking commence.
Damn this was an unfunny show. Dana Gould really sucks. Mahalo.
Can’t stand live shows, so much forced yelling.
Couldn’t agree more.
its not the yelling, its the mics and bad sound guy
Holy shit, great podcast! Dana and Alison work nicely together!
I agree about the Passionfruit Ice Tea drought…where the hell is Adam eating? Sorry, I’ve NEVER been in any restaurant ordered Ice Tea, and had not standard Ice Tea brought to me. What the hell are you talking about Ace Man?
How can anyone stand these live shows? Adam turns on the gravel voice where he yells and forces jokes at a mile-a-minute, most of which are puns and comments on phrases that could mean something else (cock block could be GOOD, you guys! Get it!). It’s not funny because it’s not natural or relaxed. For a while, it seemed like this live-show persona was seeping into the regular podcast, but lately it’s been toned down. Give me a relaxed, slightly annoyed Adam any day over the Adam who’s trying to impress a few hundred people in the audience.
Dana Gould is awesome! Love him and Adam together. The only way the show would have been better is if someone muzzled Alison. That chick is just not funny.
I went and listened to older shows with the other woman on Allison took the place of. Much better shows, chemistry. Much more interesting even considering she was a goofy lib. Allison just isn’t flowing and natural. Don’t get Dana Goulds brand of comedy. Just not for me. Like when Adam rants against the cops for doing what their ordered to do. If they started bucking their administration, and just doing their job like Adam thinks they should, they’d be repeatedly disciplined, and eventually fired.
Bald Bryan and Alison are both fantastic. Especially Alison though. I think they have a good sense of balance when it comes to deciding on when to chime in and when to sit back and let the Ace man do his thing.
No huell’s jewels? That bit rocked.
live shows should have more bits, like made up movie or mr brightside, so ace man always has something to feed off of.
I LOVE live shows, and I LOVE Dana Gould. Every time you guys have him on, or have a live show, I buy something on Amazon. DEAL?! Twice for Penn, btw.
Was I mishearing this.. or did Alison seriously say she interviewed Charlie Chaplin?! Uh…He died 34 years ago.
Why do all of you hate Alison so much? I think she’s funny and really miss her when she’s not on. Bryan, too. If you people hate the show so much and only come up to piss and moan about something you get for FREE, why do you even listen to it?
Dana Gould – definitely NOT funny.
Alison > Dana Gould
