Saturday on special delivery.

[Dude!]

he saved my life in 'nam

[oPant]

I like the time he gave Sirius an ultimatum to give him a raise. :flush::devil2::blink:

[SinA]

I like the time he gave Sirius an ultimatum to give him a raise. :flush::devil2::blink:

That was one of my favorite bits too.

[thepaulo]

When we dressed in superhero costumes we killed 27 drug dealers one night.

[Hottub]

Retired Lockey Champion.

Going long all afternoon at Sheep's Meadow.

[n0thng2bdone]

i liked his intentionally rough production style, his shouting out lines just before a silence, his upbeat/self-deprecating attitude, and his love for the show

[Death Metal Moe]

I had totally forgotten the "Buy West Side a MyFi" bit that was aired last week as a best of. That was funny shit. It still seemed that it was tongue in cheek against Dave back then. Today, not so much. The real Dave Haters take it too far. Dave was just kind of a heel, like Fez used to be back before the retard callers took that too far too.

I am biased.

[Jujubees2]

Well there was this one time at band camp...

[ralphbxny]

Why's he so little....cause he's small!!!

[fezident]

I really enjoyed seeing him play keyboards for Robyn. I didn't even know he could play!

[Pestz4Evah]

From listening to R&F as a 21-year old runaway, to being a producer and on-air talent on his favorite show.

Davey Mac is my hero.

[instrument]

I loved how easily he would mention slaying his family.

[Devo37]

the way he would say "that's hurtful" when someone took a shot at him always cracked me up.

[Enabler]

Earls grandmother
Rider vs ESD doing board gossip/guy guyerson "Its OVER for you daddy!"
His poetry. Jack Donovan

I know the show somehow miraculously evolves during times like these. I never thought theyd be as funny w/o Staples. But I still just cant believe hes really not going to be on the show anymore. It just cant be possible.

[celery]

The "Character Showdown" Siren Series with Fez. The characters got more and more obscure as it went on and you can tell that Ron loved it.

Also, one Valentine's Day, he came into O&A's show. I don't remember all the details, but he ended up naked with and shoved a bagel up his ass for no clear reason.

[Mcrow]

I hope maybe both he and Earl will come back.

[Enabler]

I hope maybe both he and Earl will come back.

These are sad times, but lets not lose our heads.

[Mcrow]

1. His great laughter when he would laugh at comments made by Ron
2. In general, his delivery. He has great comic timing which evokes both contempt and sympathy. He has great talent.
3. The guy is real. That is why I would do anything I can to help him and his family out.

He has given me so many laughs, and thank you ESD for those laughs. Were it not for you, I probably would have died of a heart attack five years ago.

[pillsaregood]

My favorite moment is going to be when Dave goes to Ron and tells him to stop looking for everyone else to step up and do Fez's job while they are not being compensated financially as 'on air talent' as Fez sits back and collects his huge check.

[danlaroe]

he got branded. got kicked by po. beat up by the boxing chicks. didnt shower till the hospital forced him too

[damainer]

Some of my favorite Dave moments are the way he gets Ronnie to laugh out loud.....something I havent heard Fez be able to do for years and years..

[fezident]

I wanna say something about Dave.

I will miss him.

I used to be kinda neutral on the guy. People were bothered by him... others loved him... I had no feelings either way. Until recently.

He's brought soooo much to the show.

My fave Dave moment was just a few weeks ago. He did his Half-Hour-Sports-Hour, and he killed it.
After that... Ron brought Dave in to talk about the sports show... and for the next hour, Dave just KILLED! He was so relaxed and easy. He was 2nd mic. Ron was reeeally treating him with respect. Fez was silent, but respectful. The whole thing clicked.

I really do like Dave and I will miss his presence.

[SinA]

Why's he so little....cause he's small!!!
Ha! Was that the same puppet he put in a bucket and took down to see David Blaine, or was there another puppet?

[JerseyRich]

My favorite Dave moment comes from a personal story...

It never happened in front of a microphone but it's a great story.

4 years ago when I got married, Dave and his ex came to my wedding. I know he was making next to money back then and they still came and brought gifts, like the swell people they are.

At the reception, on the tables were plates of butter in the shape of a flower. Dave thought it would be a great idea to take the butter and bring it with him into the bathroom and place it on the soap tray at the sink...then wait for someone to use it and claim that someone was pulling a prank and laugh!

I found that humorous...

As well as the after party at the Hotel where Dave demanded the mic from the band that was playing at the bar, and sang a rousing rendition of RAWHIDE for all in attendance.

I knew at that point that Ron and Fez had made the best Producer hire in their history.

Gonna miss you on the show David.

This was in the RSVP note from the wedding.

[Meataball23]

The absolutely best laugh in radio. Anytime he would really crack up I couldnt help but laugh too.

[STC-Dub]

He did a great Anthony impression during the hypnosis show.

[fezident]

Anytime Dave would imitate Franklyn... I would laugh out loud. It was funny EVERY time.

[badorties]

the thrid visit of paul mccartney would always make me chuckle, and the impressions of earl's family

[Dell]

remember the time ESD made fun of Fez...that was great...

http://cherylrhoads.typepad.com/.a/6a00df352345de88340111688dd0d6970c-800wi

[Tommy the bass player]

I like the one where he tried to convince everyone that he was going to quit if he didn't get a raise.
then they totally played it out.

and then Dave laughed at the end of the show loud enough for the mics to pick it up.
The best part?

people still think the's gone.

pretty good run.

[A.J.]

The absolutely best laugh in radio. Anytime he would really crack up I couldnt help but laugh too.

And the screaming.

He did a great Anthony impression during the hypnosis show.

Definitely.

For me, it was at Baby Shower II when he was telling Furtherman and me the story of when he was drunk and acted as Tim Robbins' bodyguard.

[thepaulo]

the time we dressed as women and robbed a convenience store and then drove over the Grand Canyon.

[Small..Balls]

I liked all of Dave's inventions -
The travel chopper, the commuter boat, shandals, and of course, na na na knissors...

You mean "The Jack N' Ride" I think.

[spoon]

12:37 of dead air on WRAT during our sports trivia contest.

3rd place for ESD!

[sailor]

Dave seeing a topless chick in central park. He consulted with mikeyboy they ran around screaming "mikey says it's legal!!"

[zentraed]

I loved the ESD power hours. The time when he made it all the way through without puking and then started ranting at Wackbag is one of my all-time favorite show moments.

[SouthSideJohnny]

The "Character Showdown" Siren Series with Fez. The characters got more and more obscure as it went on and you can tell that Ron loved it

I still laugh every time I think of Shits Nolte.

My favorite Dave-era moment was when the Midnight Rider blew the bit ten seconds into it when he called himself the Midnight Rambler.

Dave was the penultimate producer and can never be replaced.

OK, I definitely burst out laughing at work thanks to that note. That is hilarious.

[fezident]

The character showdowns were his finest moments. He nailed it. I was hoping that Davey Red would become a recurring character.

[disneyspy]

my weekend in new york a couple of years ago he treated me so nice at the studio i couldnt believe it and when i saw him at his birthday party the next night he was funny as hell and mingled with everybody,he has a joy of life that was nice to see

Don't forget Glovebox 2, that's probably my favorite Dave invention.

I started listening to the show regularly (along with O+A for more than just the car ride into work) around March 2008. Before that I would hear the show from time to time if I was driving during a replay or was taking a day off etc but I started to listen every day finally. At this point Dave was still sort of in really weird phase of doing crazy and gross stuff. I remember finding him funny but then thinking he was really sinking low doing stupid things like shitting in Lily's hat on O+A or putting used toilet paper in his mouth etc. Once that all stopped and I really started to like him.

I then cancelled XM back around November 2008 and didn't start listening to the show again regularly until I signed up for Audible in November 2009 so I was shocked to hear that he had another kid and one who was having issues. In that time he really grew as a personality and I really started to like him even more. It's a shame that he was moving in such a great direction but they couldn't make it work for him. Plus since I also have red hair and am named Dave, I gotta love the guy!

[PapaBear]

Gotta love when he got tortured by that S&M band. I've often thought about having Dave's scream as a ring tone, but I don't want to frighten children and old people.

[midwestjeff]

I realized earlier that I am basically an "ESD era" Ron and Fez fan.

I listened on XM a little bit before him but didn't listen regularly until about the time he was hired. I admit, I really didn't get it at first. Not him, but the entire show.

Goodnight, sweet ginger.

[PapaBear]

I really didn't get it at first. Not him, but the entire show.
You hear that from a LOT of fans. It's often said that you have to give them a couple of weeks.

[midwestjeff]

It's often said that you have to give them a couple of weeks.

Or a couple of cigars.

I get it now, I really do! :clap:

[Adolf]

dave basically got me into ron and fez.. he was always my favorite, . , and now it's weird :huh:

:annoyed: :flush: :drunk:


:sad:

[jasmillo]

My favorite ESD moment happened fairly early on in his stint with R&F. He was living in Queens and taking the subway to work. He told a story about how a homeless guy stole his coke on the train, drank it for awhile and then turned around and offered him a sip.

It still makes me laugh thinking about it. Someone needs to find that clip and animate it!

[knockknock]

This thread makes me sad because I realize that many of my favorite Ron & Fez moments are with Dave. Dave always brought a sense of adventure to the show. This week without Dave has been very dull. I used to wonder if I could kick the R&F habit and now I think it's possible to do because there aren't any more just-can't-turn-it-off moments.

Ron & Dave together were so much fun when giving someone a hard time. When they would rib Earl, AJ Dynamite, Hosp, Big A, Crazed, Franklyn, or Mafia Life Chris, it was so much fun.

I loved Dave's stories. He's experienced life in all its gory glory.

[Sloppy2nds]

The Ichiban's are not the same. "Number 1" :glurps:

[JBLouisville]

Gotta be the Mafia Life Chris "Tension" bit when MLC was in studio. Tooooneeee Dahangeeeeeee. Ron was cracking up.

[spazemunky]

i think the best example of a "Dave Moment" was the hot sauce to the armpits and balls. it was funny, and you know he was hurting. classic. one of the best clips of the show.
