Dave Attell
Podcast: Play in new window
Show Summary
The show opens with Adam talking with Dave Attell about his long history doing standup in New York. Adam also recalls seeing Dave perform in San Francisco, and thinking he was a ‘master craftsman.’ The guys then talk about Dave’s new series, ‘Dave’s Old Porn,’ which features comedians and former porn stars looking back on their old sex tapes. Adam also complains about strip clubs, and the problems with porn today.
Dave talks with Adam about living on cigarettes and coffee all the time, and how boring life became once he stopped drinking. Adam then asks Dave if the work of doing standup is draining on him, and Dave says as long as there are fans there that get his humor, he doesn’t care where or to how many people he performs.
In the last part of the show, Adam and Dave talk about some of their favorite comedians, and the tragic circumstances of both Mitch Hedberg and Greg Giraldo’s deaths. The guys then wrap the show discussing how glad they are to not have regular labor-intensive jobs anymore.

First! Can’t wait to get it on. This should be a good one. Thanks Aceman for another great show.
HELL YES! – Attell Rules – Bring back Insomniac! (and Jacuzzi Pete)
fuck ya, Dave Attell is the dopest jew in town.
that fucking ferret face jeff ross should should clean Attell’s toilet and wash his balls to learn some real comedy.
I agree wholeheartedly
‘Dave’s Old Porn’ needs to cover ‘Taboo 2′.
indeed taboo 2 is a must.
jst ck’ed out the Dave’s Old Porn site, this is gonna b awesome.
I always point out these dudes that buy bikes beyond what they can do anything with. I got a Cannondale but it’s a 8 years old. Some of these guys buy a new carbon fiber bike for 5-8k every six to eight months, blow my mind. When I got mine slopping tubes took off and some clown said he has to get rid of a new Caad5 to get a bike with a slopping top tube. Just marketing to make less sizes and people fell for it.
15 year old Manitou FSR w/old school XTR 8 speed… I loves it…
ID3 tags
come on ‘Porcelin Punsher’ Fondelier
About the ID3 tags. There is an issue with our server when we do “geotargeted” spots (ads that only play if you download in Phoenix or Sacramento or something like that) that blows out the ID3 tags. We’re working on getting it resolved.
Yes, love Dave Attell. OldPorn is a brilliant show concept. I always wondered why no one had come up with it before.
Dave Attell is a one of the best comedians out there, hearing him and Adam will be awesome.
As one of Adam’s chosen people here in Seattle. I have chosen to spend my money to see only two comedians live, Carrot Top and Pauly Shore.
Just Kidding, those two people are obviously Adam Carolla and Dave Attell, much to my wife’s chagrin.
Sorry Baby.
YES! I love Dave Attell….really looking forward to listening to two of the funniest guys shoot the shit.
Dave Attell is fucking awesome. He is a celeb in my world…
Drunk Andre Agassi meets retarded Pete Sampras.
This made me laugh. Cheers!
BWAAAAHAAAAAHAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!
Awesomeness! Attell is great!
Heres to hoping the NY comedians keep coming rather than just the people from Apprentice.
Louis CK would also be fucking great.
Ace thinks a golf fairway is called a “field.” Comedy gold!
Nice call, Grant.
Grant is right.
Adam is at his best when he’s relaxed like this. It’s a relief not to hear screaming about taxes and Joe Jackson.
It’s really too bad that this one wasn’t like 3 hours. Mitch Hedberg was so goddamn funny.
“I’m against picketing, but I don’t know how to show it.”
Mitch was the first comic I saw live, and the only comic I’ve seen multiple times besides Adam. Miss him.
“I like wearing necklaces, because it lets me know when I’m upside down.”
Best episode ever! You and Dave should move into a loft together on the upper East side and raise little comedy babies.
Adam and Dave are kindred spirits in porn. This podcast was long overdue. Get it on!
what the skinny? why is the Aceman in NYC?
Trying out for the Yankees. They’re really unhappy with A-rod’s postseason play, so the Aceman is seeing what he can do at the hot corner.
now I understand all the segery, gettn’ it on for the show, you think Costner will tell him to “hit the bull”
Another homer from Ledgewood.
celeb apprentice
Damn this was a good one. I only wish it was longer.
That’s what she said
Good times!
Dave was just on the Nick & Artie Lange radio show that same night, he must have left there and went over to talk with Adam about the same stuff.
whoa whoa whoa whoa, stop the clock… where is Artie on the radio? Is it local? Is it something you can get off of the internet? cange of subject… This was indeedey “a slice of Apple Pie Alamode” per diam?, ah ha, per day, got it…
Anyone else see Attell on the Greg Geraldo tribute special? He looked like an unkempt homeless man
Love that dude though, hosting Insomniac was such a great gig
Attell better get that cough looked at or he will be the next dead comic.
Attell is great.
P.S. Let’s get Stanhope on the show.
I miss the music drops and all the background stuff Bald Brian brought to the picture. Adam mentioned strip clubs without a “cherry pie” drop.
@ May Kadoodee: Not trying to rock the funboat, google Nick & Artie show.
Somewhere around the 50-55 minute mark, Dave talks about todays generation living clean, hitting the gym, no smoking, etc…Adam jumps in and starts a mini-rant about sucking up creatine with Dane Cook and going on 10k runs and instead they should be whoring, up all night drunk…Wasnt he just asking Lou Ferrigno for tips on nutrition saying how he has to get in shape? Lol. One day this view, another day that view.
I did, thanks…
“Waterboarding the cock with saliva” – AC. Hilarious.
What a classy pic of Nina Hartley
Get Rogan and Stanhope at the same time that would be awesome.
Wolfberg!. Get Gavin McInness on btw…
Ok, this is weird. I just watched ‘Hey, your mouths not pregnant!’ before tuning into Ace.
Not sure what that means…but its a double dose of awesome!
Why has BB not grabbed that quote from Big Lebowski about “I hate the fu**ing eagles!” Aceman says something along those lines once a week.
the photo of Attell with Carolla looks like it was taken with my grandma’s cell phone.
It was, imposter.
I fucking hate Dave Attell! Crappy guests back to back, Lou Furigno and now Attell. Must be a slow week. ARGHHHH!
get used to reduced show times and NY area guests for the next month MicMac, Dave Attell Rocks!
I know, I am just being a dick. It’s what I am best at.
Good call on the Eagles quote. Another Lebowski drop needed “Shut the fuck up Donny” and/or “Donny you’re out of your element!”
Looks like Daves got some hair?
D.A. is a champion… good show…really the 1st show in weeks i have listened to completely
Adams doing celebrity apprentice. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Porn stars wear dog tags. Semper Fidelis.
Has there been a Fox News porn spoof yet? Ann Coulter is kind of sexy. And there’s Megyn Kelly and Martha MacCallum. Tag-line: “The right side of wrong”.
It’s probably already been done. Sorry if this is redundant.
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world.
Qaddafi looks so peaceful in that picture. My guess is a bullet up his butt preceded the bullet to his forehead.
Sic semper tyrannis.
Hedberg grinded his teeth like me, but in the Attel pictures, I can’t discern any teeth, at all — a gaping maw. Hump like a snow-hill.
There really are some interesting folks who post on this comments section.
I guess it really does take all kinds!
Between Adam being able to utter the phrase “strip club” without music blaring and the smooth way the Chris D’Elia show went, I feel the drops have to go. I like BB on the show, but Adam can give him another role.
Adidas and Badidass, three to the wind.
first of all, i cant believe the word reggaeton came out of adam’s mouth…lol epic!!!…i loved this episode, dave attell is awesome…i remember watching his insomniac show on comedy central when i was in high school….
If Dave Attell doesn’t kick the smokes, the next interview he’ll be talking through an electronic voice box.
God Dave sounded terrible. He will have throat cancer someday. Just an awful podcast to listen to. And Dave was not funny at all.
Adam Carolla and Dave Attell discuss Mitch Hedberg, Doug Stanhope, and vintage porn..this is the best podcast in the history of podcasts
Love the show without the annoyning sound drops. The drops have become offensive to the integrity of a world class podcast.
Dave Attell sounds like he’s dying of lung cancer
Thanks to Adam for having Dave Attell on the show. Dave, I look forward to your new show. I have “attell” on permanent search in the topic of my dvr search, and you have NOT been around on the tube in quite a while. Long live The Insomniac!!
not my favorite show
Atell names the new upcoming comics – the Kids without Souls as his faves. The ‘black heart’ comics yay!
Anyways, I think every might be agreeing we can use a few less drops all the time.
I have an issue with isolated quotes being dropped and sometimes can’t quite make out if Adam is saying it ‘live’ or its a drop.. or is Alison saying that or BB is dropping it etc.
Anyways, Good podcast!
This could be the best podcast ever. We need to have him on again.
^^ agreed
Great Show!
Nice to see a shoebox pinhole camera still in use.
Who performed that smooth instrumental that Adam talked over in the beginning of the episode (when he spoke of the ustream situation)?
Thanks Dave Attell!!!
Attell is great. These guys have a good chemistry as well. Loved Insominiac, and all his acts. Too bad Dave sounds like the cigs are winning. Hey Dave, knock them off and ask your doctor for those little inhalers that look like cigar tips, but all plastic. They WORK. Love your show on Showtime, “Dave’s Old Porn”. Love seeing those old XXX stars talking about stuff. Especially when Nina Hartly acts like she’s embaressed at watching her old stuff when her newer stuff is muuuuuch worse.lol
