Interesting to juxtapose two lines from ESD's article:

"So I was mistakenly seen by Sirius management as some XM lunatic from 2006 rather than the legitimate, national, talk show host that I have evolved into and have been recognized as such via awards and hit reviews from the likes of the AV Club, iTunes, Stitcher, Deadspin, and on and on."...

AND..."I make $150 a week from SiriusXM, $600 a month. While certainly not enough to live on, with a family, the 600 bucks was really important to me."

How many legitimate, national talk show hosts find 600 dollars a month really important to them?

Who was the comic who urged Dave to stay on with Ron and launch an NYC "friends of Dave" comedy night to increase his income? I'm starting to think that guy was right. The success arc usually goes from Jersey to NYC, not vice versa.

On the plus side, ESD will be appearing on TLC's "Worst Tatttoos" series on March 27th at 10:30 EST.

Any idea when Dave received accolades from deadspin? All manner of searching and literally the only thing I can find is his picture with Chris Berman. The AV Club thing also wasn't positive, he was an outlier in the weekly podmass feature.

Maybe going off of XM will open him up to getting some sponsors?

given that Dave's gimmick is to get bad tattoos (compare his NY to Pitsy's NY done by the same guy on the same day), I don't think he should be on that show...

All those shows are just made up stories though. You see a fair amount of ironic tattoos and then they have to make up a story about why they have a tramp stamp.

Or even better 'I didn't know that was a swastika."

I stand by it.

You shouldn't. It was terrible.

Really glad I didn't throw in that personality part in my response as well. Would have been awkwards.

I always liked Dave when he was being reigned in a bit, he can be very funny. But left to his own devices, he was prone to devolve into long rants filled with shitsies and cumsies. I tried listening to his Sat night shows when I was driving a truck, it was just too out of control and juvenile for my tastes.
I think the dude has some talent, but he is ignoring good advice and fighting for immediate top billing that he has neither the experience for, nor the right too in such a competitive, and rapidly changing field.

[jennysmurf]

Just my skates.

Roller skates? Cause that's just too cute.

Dave's schtick and his desperate flailing attempts at drawing attention to himself have worn so thin.

Someone posted above and hit the nail on the head. As a third/second mic that was controlled by Ron he was very good and very entertaining. On his own he is a shambles and a mess. He seems to have zero professionalism and has handled his firing from Sirius exactly the way someone with little professionalism would: laying guilt trips on other on air talent and posting a ranting blog that rips his former employer, bitches about money (something Dave has done since 2007) and exaggerates his accomplishments. The AV Club hardly lauded him and the Deadspin article has no mention of his "national sports show."

Good bye, Big Red. Good riddance.

If it weren't for the keyboardist on his show, I don't think there anything to enjoy about the show.

Second mike, or second banana as they used to be called, hardly exists in show biz anymore. There used to be comedy duos - Martin and Lewis, Stiller and Meara, Burns and Schreiber, Allen and Rossi, Rowan and Martin, Cheech and Chong, the Smothers Brothers, Laurel and Hardy. Now it's all stand-up - you have to do it on your own.

Radio is the last bastion of the second banana, and it's not much of one. When "shock jocK' radio reigned (before the crackdown and the Stern move to satellite and the justified paranoia that unfolded around that time) - there were still a lot of radio duos. Now there's just Ron and Fez, Opie and Anthony - and what else? I don't think you can even count something like Mike and Mike. Most of the duos are on podcasts. Dave is trying to swim against the current. I see a lot of self-pity and an alcohol drowing in his future if he doesn't change something soon.

I DO agree - he's great when reigned in, but what Ron did was more than just reigning in - it was also throwing out the cues that Dave could run with and cherry-picking a flurry of ideas that Dave came up with, most of them not fertile enough to go with.

Dave has to answer Axyl's question now:

Where do we go?
Where do we go now?
Oh, where do we go now?

Where do we go?
(Sweet child)
Where do we go now?
Ooh, where do we go now?
