Dr. Funny Dave Dameshek is back on the show? Smart move Aceman! Also, I’ll be your sink!
Adam’s claim to superior aesthetic judgment, whether it be chicks, cars, or anything, simply means shit until he throws on something not made of jersey materiel….or grows a ‘stache like mine.
Muhammad Ali, it’s All-E, not Alley, that’s a girls name or a place where you play dice, Dave. Dave is Adam’s Renfield ‘Hehhehhehhehhehheh.’ Speaking of creep of the week- Dave with his “Allison you should know I’m a vigorous lover….” How is he a sports guy, hell he didn’t know what NHL teams came from a 0-3 deficit ( he likes the sport and I might watch 1 game a year and knew that) and couldn’t explain what’s going on with mayweather and pacquaio- please, bring in Bill Simmons instead if you want sports.
Love the Shek! Cutting out the noise…
Love the Shek!
This guy threatens his boy with Military Boarding School.
Why does Ace keep teasing my balls with only one half of Daves of Thunder? Feeeeeeeeneeeeeeey
Fyi…I love baby corn!!
Let It Begin !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This one has Dave Dameshek? I’m not downloading it.
No one asked you to fucking download it!
No shit; what sort of douchebag would express and opinion without having been expressly asked to download a podcast. Like you, I find it necessary to post and explain this whenever my sense of secure unanimity is challenged By the way, point out that the podcast is *free* and that anyone who dislikes it is a hater who lives in his parents’ basement; never fails. Why can’t everyone just agree with right thinking bro’s like us?
Wait a minute, no requests ever for Commander Nebula?
I like the weekly segments with Dameshek and Theresa. It’s new but has a taste of the old, keep em coming…
Agreed!!!
Zooey all the way
Word.
Talking about who we want to get some sort of quirky cancer?
This show has become a typical morning zoo. Whacky sound effects, hacky bits, fast-paced, “let’s keep it moving people” attitude, boring news segments. Lots of flash, minimal substance. I think the early days of the podcast were golden. Ace would just sit down one-on-one and interview someone or just talk. Dave Dameshek is the epitome of hacky, morning zoo, whacky sports guy.
god i hate baby corn GO BRONCOS!
So darn happy to have Dave back. Truly. Now if you can just get Feeney back…life would be that much better for the DOT fans. Thanks for bringing him back either way.
lemieux sieux
I’m sure hes a great guy, but Dave Dameshek is radio kryptonyte. I dunno if its his voice or laugh or bad jokes but its really tough to listen to. Great guy though Im sure…
He tries too hard.
He’s fake around the Ace-man.
I’m gonna give today’s podcast two thumbs down already even though I haven’t listened to it yet just because Dameshek is on. He’s not funny, it’s a waste of everybody’s time and his fucking voice annoys the shit out of me.
It’s his laugh that annoys me.
It’s your comments that annoy me.
Whiskey Dick the clown was awesome.
LOL, Jesus Christ Ace! this guy should write a book on how not to do anything when writing a book…LOL
Made up Movie: Coming this summer, Dave Damashek is…. “Whiskey Dick”.
After getting out of prison, this down and out, part-time children’s party clown is seeking redemption and is out for revenge on the shadowy, multinational conglomerate that had him put behind bars for alleged pedophilia. Whiskey D uncovers a diabolical plot to control the minds of every child in the developed world under the guise of a new “miracle” drug that cures chicken pox without having to go through the inoculation process.
It’s “Shakes the Clown” meets “Michael Clayton”. Evil CEO of the corporation is actually played by Mitt Romney. (Ballzy move if you ask me during an election year, but I like the cut of this guy’s jib). Will Farrell plays a hapless executive, a disgrunted #2 of Romney, which begrudgingly agrees to help Whisky Dick in his quest to take down the evil CEO and stop his plans for world domination.
That is a great pic of Scarlett Johansson!!!!!!!!!!! So hot!!!!!
Must Have Kings Bandwagon song. Someone Please link.
Love that Dave Dameshek, keep him coming!
LOL “I am a vigorous lover”
Great podcast for the Shek Republic – the Feensters Union folks may strike though . . .
HATE Damashek, instant delete.
Manny Pacquiao agreed to drug testing when Mayweather asked for it in 2010.

http://www.boxingnews24.com/2010/07/manny-pacquiao-agreed-to-drug-testing-all-the-way-to-the-fight/
No agreement was reached.
Is it just me or does Miley look like a homeless person except for the big rock on her finger?
The episode pic is a great portrait of Ace mid-hypervigilance.
I need more Bruno Pics guys
Fun episode. The creep of the week song is nails on a chalkboard.
The Pac-Mayweather fight isn’t about the drug testing issue anymore. It is now about the split of the money. Mayweather wants a majority of the money and says that Pac’s promoter is greedy.
Heh heh, why should FACTS get in the way of a point Adam was trying to make. And if Brian tried to bring this up, he’d complain that Brian was shitting on his point.
They need to bring dave dameshek back more often. That guy is pretty hilarious A+ eps thanks to him!
Would love to check out Alison’s work for the Los Angeles Times and Rolling Stone but I can’t find anything online. Anyone know where to find?
Dameshek? Ugh. No thanks. We need more Dana Gould.
YES!
Dave DamaSHEK!
yeah yeah yeah now thats good pod
always love timely thanksgiving rant on time.
Ace is missing that Mayweather is refusing to go 50/50. He says 60/40 or nothing. Also, Pacman agreed to the increased testing too. Mayweather moves the endzone soon as Pacman agrees to a point. That is classic ducking.
Love the Shek! Time for another Basic Cable Classic with the Aceman!
do you ever notice that Ace really likes stale, gay, lounge music? That and now he admits that Emily Dascenel is hot?………………SHE IS A DUDE!!!!, she totally looks like a man…….thats gay shit
Gay Ace…….Gayce
okie dokie
Keep the Shek coming!
Painter’s wife gets painted
Boxer’s wife gets hit
Lynette gets what? Blown hard?
Melon balled…c’mon, isn’t obvious what this sounds like?
(NSFW…I think)

who the hell came up with this?
CUP-TALK!
Now that’s a great show Ace-man!
Sheckrepublic in the house!
Now that Donny has hit the road, bring back Daves of Thunder!! Best thing on the network (except for the flagship (pirateship) Carolla broadcast, of course.
PLEASE, no more Damashek. Please!
Adam, how about you not start giving your kids a sense of entitlement by NOT BUYING THEM A GIANT BIRTHDAY CAKE?
Amen. Adam complains about his entitled kids, as if he had no say in how they were being raised.
Dave was great on the show, really enjoyed his segment. Where the heck is Larry Miller? Is he OK?
What the hell is the plural of thunder? Isn’t it thunder?
Jeeez Dave, those are some lame, default, LA sports fan “wise-cracks”.
“Bandwagon Fans!” Oh snap! You sure showed them, and you made a song.
Kurt Russell is not the biggest celebrity Kings fan and you would know this even if you watched one game of the Cup Final, BUT who really cares Dave!? These are side notes that don’t mean a GD thing.
Just let Alison do sports, she can just as easily come up with this “insight”, she can probably even get a few things right.
Good show. Better than usual banter with Dameshek.
Love me some Shek! Dude is great at playing off Adam improv style, is knowledgeable about not only sports but movies, etc and it seems like he’s liked by the other members of the team. More shek
Love the Shek! When he refers to BB as just “Bald”, as in “what do you think Bald?”, as in that’s his first name cracks me up everytime. Dave has a penchant for old timey sayings and his cadence is so unique I am just drawn to whatever he says. He could read the dictionary and I would listen. The only thing that tops it is when Feeney would mock him. A couple weeks ago when I listened to ARIYNBF Shek was yapping about something and the “move along” signal was played; I laughed and and wept at the same time. DOT was comedic gold, and I along with millions of fans still miss that show.
Always enjoy having Shek around, he is usually a fun addition to the show. I agree with Danof Sac- I enjoy when he acts like Bryan’s first name is Bald.
I watch Bones, and while Emily Deschanel has a good body, and can have a pretty face, the jawline is too square. Sort of a Frankenstein head. Zooey is definitely better. I would argue that cute is better than hot a lot of the time though, so I think Ace and I have a fundamental difference in judging.
Line of the show: “…Just like America”
no olympic boxer had blood drawn within 2 months of competition last time around and probably the same this time around, and manny agreed to a couple of blood tests. there really isn’t a blood test for steroids. it’s piss, which manny offered,and the olympics doesn’t even allow over the counter meds and some foods, never mind shooting your hands up with xylocane like floyd does every fight, so the term “olympic” doesn’t belong here. finally, i think floyd’s demand for a liter of manny’s semen was inappropriate. maybe for a hollywood fight, but not vegas.
also manny turned pro at 16 after stowing away on a ship to manilla and not eating many days as a kid. his first fight was light flyweight but as soon as he started eating he had to dry out a lot to even make bantam.
floyd was light fly national golden gloves champion at 16 and went up the weight classes even faster
Love having Dameshek as a regular guest!
I love the podcast and have been listening for the past two years. However, Dave Dameshek has never appealed to me. I find him obnoxious and grating. He is certainly NOT funny or amusing in anyway.
Agreed, no slap at him as a person; but he’s just too damn annoying. His voice and laugh gets to me like fingers on a chalkboard. He tries to talk and act like the Ace Man whenever he’s on. I try to listen when he’s on, but I end up deleting it halfway through…
Bring back DOT please……still miss that show.
Same rant one hundred times, hey Iron Man busting his ass, no sh*t, we have heard this toooooooo many times. Change the rant.
I know Adam doesn’t ever read the comments but in case someone wants to forward the story I’ll be as brief as possible. Pacquiao eventually agreed to the Olympic style testing Adam was talking about but said they couldn’t test with less than two weeks before the fight. Mayweather/his people said that still wasn’t acceptable and he needed to be tested at any time up to and including the day before the fight (they’re already tested after the fight). Pacquiao and his people said, no and that was the first impasse. Then after almost another full year, Mayweather said fine, he’ll allow the testing no later than two weeks, but he wanted a bigger percentage of the purse. They went back and forth, neither would budge and again the fight never happened.
if you married an insurance salesman he’ll find a loophole to get out of his marriage vows.
marry a soldier expect pictures of your dessicated corpse being urinated on to be posted on the nets.
marry a professional obnoxious loudmouth and….
The Thunder’s jersey colors were pulled from the colors on the Oklahoma state flag.
I am a big fan of the show. I love the Aceman and everyone on the show. I think Dave Dameshek is funny but I find his voice unbearable. Any episode with him I avoid. I am not trying to give him shit, I’m just stating how I feel. My opinion is no more important than anyone else’s. Im sure some people love the podcasts with Dave but I just can’t force myself to listen to them…
