i listened to most of koreansgonebad and a good chunk of dvdasa, quit because i got burnt out on drug/porn talk. they might be depressing as gently caress, but my favorite episodes are the ones with yoshi and joey. my favorite thing was when joey was talking about getting a job after being depressed and unemployed for a long time, at a mental hospital as a community organizer, then yoshi says something about him marching around the neighborhood with batman villians.

kinda surprised by the disdain towards bobby lee in this thread. i just started listening again, and bobby lee is my new favorite part of the show. i think he's perfect for podcast/radio because his natural speaking voice and cadence just has something inherently comical about it. like, even when he's dead serious or making a real mild joke, it can be hilarious just because of the way he says it.

I have a feeling that Dave greatly embellishes and outright makes up stuff very freely. Like, on a few occasions he has talked about making a ton of money when he was poor by martingaling blackjack [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martingale_(betting_system)]. Complete and utter bullshit. It's hard not to question the sincerity of a lot of his other stories. Either way, still gotta hand it to him, he's a good storyteller.

Bobby Lee is still the weak link of the show. Keep Steve, get rid of Bobby and his boring girlfriend. Also he doesn't seem to like Critter much, which is funny to me for some reason. I figured it was because he is always by Dave and is therefore jealous.

lol, wat? bobby lee is the best thing to ever happen to dvdasa. all the recent shows i've listened to that didn't have b lee or a decent guest were 2 hours of Dave narcissistically rambling to a brigade of yes men.

Was it really about stealing chips or something like that?

I'm working through the earlier ones but didn't get to that point.

I think Dave was being caricature angry about the chips to be funny (and it was, at first), but it dragged on for like over an hour and it was dumb.

On the other hand, I know Bobby Lee is a guest on a ton of different podcasts so I do wonder if he just recycles his stories or if the stuff he says on DVDASA is 'exclusive' to this show.


I've actually heard some of his DVDASA stories pop up in some of his standup I've watched on youtube. They're way funnier on the podcast than in his act.
