And Dave - it sounds like things aren't so great right now. But a lot of people have unexpected second and third acts in life. This is America, we're a pretty forgiving bunch. Keep going, say yes to opportunities that make sense, and you never know what might happen.
Yes, Springsteen sucks. Both as a person and as a musician. The problem with live shows is all the other people there, especially when the band has them sing along. Maybe you should do a show in front of a live studio audience, talk about Kosovo inflation, and take questions from the audience? What could go wrong?
Yes! Yo gots da plan, man. That is an intelligent schedule! In the words of the prophet, Tim Gunn "Make it work!". A series of conversational interviews with Mark Webber in the mode of the Savage Hippie interview featuring SABO the right-wing street artist, would be fun & a very good idea. Anyone on the Southern Poverty Law Center's hate list for countering a canned narrative, has something to say to me. It all needs to be talked about. Because we're getting the same blame/kill Jews canned rhetoric, again. World War Two needs to be demystified, similar to the debunking of the Ancient Aliens/U.F.O. non-sense. https://youtu.be/j9w-i5oZqaQ?feature=shared
Dave, I would be delighted if you do three excerpts a week.
As for those lowballing assholes disrespecting your literary talent with a lowball offer, perhaps you could use them in a new literary creation. I can see a combination of "The Cask of Amontillado" with Ratibor added into the story. By the time your house gets torn down, the lifeless body of the agents will have been totally devoured, leaving no evidence.
Yeah, you could treat the Substack like Twitter, just put up short posts whenever you feel like it. You'll get engagement, there's plenty of us Dave-o-philes out here. My only concern is that your enemies will see you having too much fun, and pull levers to get Substack to do the unthinkable.
So far, at least, Substack has remained committed to free speech on the platform. We never know what tomorrow will bring, but for now, it's refreshing.
"I can see a combination of "The Cask of Amontillado" with Ratibor added into the story."
I like that! In the climax of the story, Lenore comes in disguised as Debra Messing, only to find out it is too late to stop the second edition: Ratibor has joined forces with Ol' Dave.
Dave, I'm worried your enemies will see you having too much fun here and swoop in to take it down. Is "The Stack" committed enough to free speech to keep you on?
Dude, I KNEW Skip...very well. His variety show was up the street from me in BH. In exchange for an open tab at the bar, I ran Skip's website, YT and FB pages. I'm the one who alerted him to a con being pulled on him by Jeff Goldbloom, which SAG ended up investigating. Maybe I'll tell that tale next week!
Maybe a good book to write would be recollections of these cool people you've known, a chapter on each: one on Herschensohn, one on Skip-- maybe you've known Allan Carr, Richard Simmons, Emmett Tyrrell (loved The American Spectator in the 80s and 90s!), Ben Stein, each would be worthy of a chapter-- and the book's title (so inspired that I turned on my laptop specifically to post this): ACIDIC JEW
A con pulled on Skip by Jeff Goldblum the actor? (Goldblum was the first non-comedian "patient" on 'Dr. Katz', beginning the show's descent....)
This sounds great, 3 times a Dave a week, I’ll take it, I don’t want to be roasted like to a tardy crisp so I’m in! The Mark Webber/David Cole reunion interview will be epic no matter what is discussed I’m sure. I feel like I should chip in and get some tall blonde to come over to your house to “rub your feet” you deserve it. Your old book or a new book would be excellent. They need to throw a sack full of cash at you as an advance, the fools don’t know what they truly have. Look forward to it my friend.
I'm posting a link to a debunking of Ben Stein's 'Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed', as debunked by 'Bible Reloaded' Hugo & Jake, before Hugo wasted his money transitioning into Hannah & Jake had to remove himself from the toxic individual that Hugo/Hannah has transitioned into.
Thank you, buddy! Much appreciated. And after two months of gout, finally subsiding, I could really use that tall blonde and the foot-rub. And I could use that healthy book advance, too!
Dave, has there ever been a Zombies IN space movie besides Planet of the Vampires? Also, how could filmmakers miss combining real tragedies like Bhopal or Chernobyl with the dead rising from the grave? OK it's tastless but that never stopped Hollywood before. Maybe there was something in methyl isocyanate which brings the dead to life. The twist could be that the government there would mistake the reports of cannibalism for an extreme sadhu cult and ignore it until it was out of control. There can even be a bit of humour with Reza Aslan making a cameo as a reporter who gets cooked and eaten by sadhus instead of zombies. About the podcast with Mark Weber, could you maybe discuss the part played by foreigners in the Holocaust, Ukrainians, Balts, Austrians like Kaltenbrunner (nice Mansur scars). So many of them had those. Another could be why Austrian SS Men were not very interested in persecuting Jews as Germans were. Another could be men of conscience in the NS such as Rudolf Diels (more scars). Although most party people were indeed normal they might have been able to be persuaded to look the other way, especially during wartime, while men like Diels said "No!" You could also discuss what ex-Nazis did after the war that was maybe interesting.
Great ideas RE Mark. I've added them to the folder of issues to discuss. Thanks!
RE zombies, interestingly, Hell of the Living Dead predicted Bhopal four years before it happened. Third World chemical plant, gas leak, gas cloud sweeps through villages, mass death (and zombies). Most Chernobyl horror films feature mutants instead of zombies.
In 2011, that summer I didn't swim in the ocean because we were told that the current was carrying Fukushima tsunami bodies across the Pacific. And I had nightmarish notions of being accosted by shriveled Jap bodies as I swam.
I hadn't realized that Fukushima created that much of a scare in 2011. An image of Eddie Deesen and his puppet on that Ferris Wheel popped into my head: "Waaaahhhh...da JAPS!!!" I haven't seen that wonderful movie in over 40 years. Watched it on a satellite TV service ONTV at a friend's house. The funniest film John Belushi starred in outside of maybe Neighbors.
In L.A. there was a lot of scare-mongering that summer about radiation and/or corpses making their way to our shore in the summer. Never happened (that I know about), but never forget those killer Jap WWII balloons that made it all the way to Oregon. Stuff totally can make it from their shore to ours.
Ok, the photo of you and Ann Coulter - you look like your forcing a smile. But at least you did better with Ann C than I did.
I introduced myself to Ann as a "Writer from Occidental Dissent", Ann practically took my head off and replied:
"Great, I like how everyone here claims they are a writer" and then walked off.
I was told not to discuss this semi private Christmas Party of immigration patriots.
But a few weeks later after having a few beers I described my introduction to the sharp tongued Ann C and honestly said that she was being a real bitch, and I felt like stripping her naked and spanking her bare ass!
A leading anti White Communist group was monitoring this and they repeated my comment, found some photo of me and doxed me!
This did cause me some problems, but as Oscar Wilde once said:
"There is only one thing worse than being talked about and that is.....
Not being talked about".
I'm sure that's happened to you more than a few times Dave.
:-)
Great to find you here Dave. I bought you my first "Beer" on here, I'm just learning substack, brand new.
I wish you great success here Dave.

Ann's a longtime friend and a great person, but we're ALL quirky. You can't be a "media personality" for over 30 years without being quirky, and she has her good days and bad, as do I. I was banned from Twitter because a jerk caught me on a bad morning (drunk, gout-ridden, angry about a meeting the previous day). I find my patience fleeing me more and more each month, and generally Ann is WAY more tolerant than I, even with the strangers who randomly approach us when we walk through BH. Even when she's "sharp," she stays classy. Me? Not so much. There are days I'm way better off indoors and offline.
Dave, this is cool but please no prothalamiums about your boozing or rats in the dishwasher. You don't seem to a fan of Tucker. That's interesting. Maybe go into that a little more. And you seem to imagine that elections matter. Like why? And why have you been banned on X? And why does Ron Unz seem to hate Jews so much? Also, I've never been a within a thousand miles of L.A. and don't know Beverly Hills from Beverly Mills and probably never will. So unless you're microcosming, take us someplace else from time to time. And do you think the crap going on on kollege kampuses today is an intel psyop?
RU has always given off strong signs of SBMS (Single Baby-Mama Syndrome), especially its JL (Jewish Liberal, versus Christian Conservative) variant. It's a phenomenon that one sees a good bit of. Any boy who is raised by a Single Baby-Mama will at least have been affected by it. RU is just a severe case.
It basically means that a boy grows up resenting what his SBM was and venting on things in ways which reflects that rage. For some people whose SBM was of CC background, it may lead to one type of rebellion. In RU's case, with a JLSBM. it plays out accordingly. Whatever legitimate evidence one may find of dirty tricks carried out by the ADL, Mossad, AIPAC and such (and, of course, there is much evidence of such), RU's rants will always tend beyond the simple evidence. Because it's more a matter of cursing the SBM who raised him, rather than simply diagnosing a historical event.
Thanks for the comment. What irks me about Ron Unz is that he provides a forum for the worst American Jews haters. I don't mean Jared Taylor or Peter Brimelow who don't really hate Jews and are basically decent guys. I mean Andrew Joyce, Philip Giraldi and worst of all -- because he's the most insightful and knows Jews so well -- Kevin MacDonald. And then there's the usual Jew bashing. I feel like asking him, whatever your Jewish issues may be , as a Jew, have you no self-respect?
I can't tell you how much it makes my night to know that you actively look forward to The Week. It's my favorite column to write, and - though I can't name them publicly - I do know that a couple of SNL alums read it religiously. When I was a kid I wanted to do one of two things - make zombie films or write the kind of satire I saw in National Lampoon. I've sort of made one of those dreams come true. Thank you for reading it!
3x/week sounds great

I'm liking the engagement I see here. Seems like FB and Twitter keep you away from your dedicated fans and only brings you randos that hate you.
I was thinking the exact same thing tonight, Aaron. The exact same thing. I'm liking it better here!
I believe I told you once you’re our ID- a Christopher Hitchens and a Cartman rolled into one. It’s about the highest praise I can bestow on anyone.
Now THAT is a quote I will treasure!
Love thrice weekly! 🫶🏻
It’s thrice as nice!
Indeed it is! All the Dave we can get always makes for a happier week! ☺️

Fascinating theory! Worthy of a column.
Three a week sounds great. Looking forward to seeing the podcast with Weber - not about gardening, please!
DAMN! And Mark was all set to share his secret for getting rid of crabgrass (hint: it involves aerial bombing and phosgene).
Keep ‘em comin’, Dave. Late night, I hover over at Taki waiting for the week that perished. Always on board for Tuesdays, too.
I don’t care if you exhume the Holocaust but whatever you do is fine by me.
