the jurogan experience i tell i think of the current guys he probably influenced the most guys out of new york because if you watch it tell right now in particular here's that's a guy that's probably the most underappreciated and uh underrated even though i know the fans rate him very highly i'm talking about like the general public every comedy fan that knows david tell rates him very very highly he might not be the best comic alive but criminally underappreciated as far as the general public goes and if you see him he's so good and his jokes are so sharp and they and you get into that dave attel rhythm yeah and that's all you want to hear and then guys start doing jokes like him he started doing that he's got this way or talking and it's so addictive it's so i've seen so many guys like and i don't they're not bad guys but you see like a little bit of a telling them because they're like insecure and they don't know how to be funny and they're trying to be funny and so they try to do it like a towel you know they have that like very pronounced sort of accentuation of words and i remember insomniac was like big when i was growing up that was kind of this big hollywood thing but then i didn't see much after that i know wasn't he like an hbo young comedian special is that partly like him like he just loves stand-up he'll go on last at the seller he kind of just enjoys he does a lot of like late night sets and he can revive an audience and he's not like a big energy guy either it's like he's just doing it all he's the master of what he does brilliant jokes but yeah um i think the the first big success was definitely insomniac and then through insomniac he developed a drinking problem and then through the drinking problem he quit and then became the best comic alive like it really happened all through that like his um his quitting drinking everybody agrees like unanimously that his act sharpened up radically it got really really really good and i think it's just his mind is free it's amazing yeah like the amount of new jokes he's just a machine and he's super dedicated yeah that's the thing it's
like he has a thing that he's really good at that he really loves that he's very dedicated to so he's like always after it and so because he's always after it he's always doing all these sets and he's always sharp and i mean that's really what it's at for all of us you know and there's some there's kind of a almost a monastic approach that he takes he wears the same clothes essentially every night i don't mean like the same clothes but he doesn't vary in his style just like the same hat the same you know look dave just sold out the stand up live in phoenix and killed it down there i mean it's not like he's not loved yeah like the people that know and there's plenty of them love him but as far as like great comics that don't get put into the category of great comics like he's number one on my list yeah i love him too he's great yeah he might be the one of the best of all time and right now he's in his prime and i think a lot of it is like he stopped drinking unlike us and uh turned his life around what what is the last special do you know was that no was it bumping mike's on netflix well that's interesting too right him doing that thing with jeff that's a really fun thing because they're both so good off their feet yeah you know um skanks for the memories was his first big cd that was a really good one that he did at denver the comedy works it's really fun that's a great club
