Dave Attell is Underappreciated w/Michelle Wolf | Joe Rogan

He also has his iPhone. Oh yeah. Well he has an iPhone too. Oh. Like literally iPhone 2. Like the number 2. He does. It is. It's a second generation iPhone. It's hilarious. He pulls it out of his pocket like what? He's like fucking receipts and diner matches and shit. Like he pulls this old ass iPhone. It tells hilarious. Not just hilarious as a comic, but hilarious as a human character. He's one of my favorites. Every once in a while he'll do like a joke check and you'll get this weird text from him that's like, hey does anyone have anything about raccoons and cats eating flags or something? You know it's like just a combination of like, it's like a mad lib. You're like, no I've not heard that one before. I guess when you're a guy like him too, if you're writing joke jokes all the time, like everything's a joke joke. Yeah. You never know if you heard that before. Like you don't, like your memory only holds so much. Of course. And he's like, I mean, his joke, he is all punch like. Yes. That's all it is. But I'm bump chh. Yeah. And it's great. It's fucking the best. But it is one of those things where it's like, yeah does anyone have jokes about like s'mores and hot air balloons? To me he's the most underappreciated master of our age. Yeah. You know like he's a like legitimate master comedian. And you know, he doesn't get the kind of love that he should like from the general public because he has zero marketing. Right. Zero anything other than people saying he's awesome and people seeing him be awesome. Yeah. You know? And he's one of the rare guys that got sober and got better. He really did. And also he'll bring candy to the club every once in a while, which I love candy. So I'm always happy. And he gives it to people? Like he'll just bring bags of candy to the seller every once in a while. And I'm like, I did want a little baby Ruth. Just brings candy for people? Yeah. She's the best. Everybody loves him. I'm like, nobody will tell you they hate Atel. Yeah. I've never heard that once. He had this one. There's this one story of him doing crowd work. There was like a group of like Latina women in the front and mean mugging the whole time. Just arms crossed. Like every, enough that comics were talking about it. You know, like after they're set, they'll be like, yeah, but then there's these women in the front. We couldn't break them at all. Atel gets on stage, looks immediately at them. And she goes, he goes, oh, why so sad? Did Selena die again? Oh my God, that's funny. And they, everyone, everyone laughed. They laughed like it's just like, but he has that like laser vision where he can just, he like sees it in the crowd. He has the perfect reference for it. Did Selena die again? Holy shit. That's funny. Oh my God. That's funny. They had have to laugh at that. You had to laugh at that. You had to laugh at that. You had to laugh at that. You had to laugh at that. You had to laugh at that. They had have to laugh at that. You have to, you can't not. Oh my God, that's so funny. Did Selena die again? Holy fuck. Oh my God. He's one of the greatest. For sure. Like legitimately one of the greatest ever. Just doesn't get enough credit. But there's a lot in that in comedy right now too. Like, I mean, he's been around for decades and should definitely be like widely loved. Who else? But like, yeah, some of the younger guys too, it's like, you know, like this Mark Norman, Sam Morrell, Dan Soder. Mark Norman is getting a lot of love. Soder just had a special. I'm not saying they're not getting some. It's just like, I feel like they're all underappreciated. You know, like they're guys that are like great joke writers, you know, and it's like hard for them to sell specials now because it's, you know, people are like, you're a straight white guy. Is that real? I think it is, yeah. But isn't like, I mean, there are straight white guys. What's that fuck, John Mulaney. He's straight white guy, allegedly. Yeah, pretty sure he is, yeah. But he has characteristics that make you go, hmm. He does, he looks nice, he's presentable, he has a small dog, you know. There's a lot going on. But I'm pretty confident. Dressed as well. Yeah, yeah. Stylish. Stylish. Very good comic though. I think he's just old timey, you know? Yes.
