True story; one day at work, our field cell phone rang and the dude at the other end asked for Dave. I of course said, "Dave's not here." He comes back with "very funny, let me talk to Dave." I said, there is no Dave here, I think you have the wrong number (which was true since nobody had that number). The dude finally got it the second time around. Meanwhile, my co-worker who overheard everything, is laughing so hard he is crying and blowing snot out of his nose. A timeless classic.
Look up "ear ache my eye." Its on the same album if memory serves. Gettin ready togo to school and both gags were on the radio that morn. I laughed so hard. Only time I was late for school.
"Dave" is on the debut "Cheech & Chong" album. "Earache My Eye" is on their fourth album "Cheech & Chong Wedding Album" I bet your dad made it clear you were late by storming into your room: "I SAID TURN THAT THING DOWN AND GET READY FOR SCHOOL!"
My friend used to do this bit on his brother's friends when they called the house. "Can I talk to Wayne?" "Who is this?" "Neal." "Neal's not here!" ( "mom, he's doing it again!") LOL
I don't know if he's trying to be a "reporter" by taking notes, or what, but it's being recorded man, enjoy the one in a lifetime opportunity to hang out with and maybe even get to know such a man like this even just a little. You missed your chance to (I assume) look intelligent.
When C&C did their see the stars before they die tour. I bought 5 tickets 4 for 2 of my friends plus their wives all next to each other. With 1 seat behind them for me. I got there early found my spot then went and hid some place else. They get there sit down and they're looking around for me. They're like where the fuck is Dave. The show starts they are now interested in the show so I go and sit behind them. Without them noticing and I wait. I knew the Dave's not here line was going to be used. So about 10 minutes in Tommy is talking about his bong bust and the DEA knocking at the door. What does Tommy say. Yep Dave's not here. I grab my friends by the shoulders and go "Yeah I'm here". SHOCKED the hell out of them all.
Uhh, this is being recorded so why are you paying attention to your damn notepad and pen instead of making eye contact with this comedic legend? Very disrespectful. What a goof.
I feel old . Im only 50 I use this refrenence when I knock on a door to be let in to a secured area at work. The youngins did not get it. I felt stupid lol
Even after all these years, the setup still makes Tommy Chong giggle. Us, too.
The back story Tommy tells here is even funnier than the bit on the album. Super cool, thanks for posting

I just had the same experience with a scam caller.
Cool story bro
Daves not here man
"Hi, this is Dave. Have I gotten any messages?"
@@peterlawrence6079 daves not here man
"tell me about the origins of "daves not here"" - reporter ...proceeds to write poetry about ducks as Tommy explains, lol
"Got any grapes?" ;-)
Great story. Dave still makes laugh and I've heard it hundreds of times. I let my 10 year old son hear it and he loves it
Showing my age but I've been pulling this on people since I was a kid. It never gets old.
Me too!! And most people love it!!! Great comedy! (Dave's not here!!)
Reporter, "So Tommy where is the "Dave" tape?"
Tommy, "Dave's not here."
DK3CHAMP 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
indeed...lol
An all-time-great comedy classic! 50-something years later it's still funny!
I hope they release the actual original recording of this. That would be epic to hear.
IMHO, the "Dave's Not Here" bit is right up there with Abbot & Costello's "Who's On First". Comedy gold!
50 years later and Tommy is still laughing. I love it.
As part of the Daves community. I have used this many times. 😂 Love the story behind it.

Soundgarden did a cover of that tune. You should check it out.
Dave: Open the pod bay door, please HAL.
HAL: I'm sorry, Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that.
Dave: This is Frank. Dave's not here.
Mind is ensnared in itself
thats perfect.
Is that original recording anywhere to be found? would be great to hear that!.
Apparently the interview goes on to say that they lost the recording. This was the 70's afterall.
No! You guys improvised that?! Omg of course lol! So hard to edit back then lol.
the number of times ive said....... daves not here........ and it is still as funny today as it was the very first time i heard it
My friend used to do this bit on his brother's friends when they called the house. "Can I talk to Wayne?" "Who is this?" "Neal." "Neal's not here!" ( "mom, he's doing it again!") LOL
It's now 50 years since Dave hasn't been there!
Cracking up on listening to the story
That's hilarious! I have tears in my eyes.
Imagine having Tommy as a grandfather.
I go into the "Dave's not hear" routine every time I get a scammer call me on the phone.
I first head T Bone’s version of this and shortly later I heard the original

Exactly what I was thinking. Or bust out a $30 digital recorder. He also missed the chance to totally engage with a legend.
Yes. I wondered about this too. I mean, you’re sitting there with Tommy Chong!!

I think I heard this referred to as "Who's on First" on weed.
Where’s the original Dave’s Not Here Tape?
3 years since weed was legalized here.
I realized that Canadian accents are just stoned accents.
There is another bit on the record starts w/ a knock and
Chong saying: “Dave?”,
Cheech: “No, it’s me.”,
Chong : “Oh, come on in..” 😂
Every stoner in my elementary school was all Dave's not here.
Reading comments to trace down the original recordings :D
Me too....did u ever find it?
ruclips.net/video/ACfNSqsi_mE/видео.html
This one I think
Tommy and Ashton should do a remake of "Dave's Not here!"
release the original?
Imagine having Tommy as a granddad.😊😊
Tommy and Cheech should do a remake of "Dave's Not Here" with Ashton Kutcher.
110 degrees? I would've knocked Chong's ass out for keeping me outside in that heat.
VLAD TV brought me here man.
That’s funny I don’t care who you are! 🎉🎉🎉😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Omg. This is fucking hilarious!!!
Classic
I wonder why Cheech said Dave instead of "Cheech".
Does he still have the original?
Nope, that thing went up in smoke back in the 70's. It would be a treasure to have though........
listen in.5 speed
why is the guy writing stuff down when it's all recorded? like just look and listen to the person telling you the story
Uhh, this is being recorded so why are you paying attention to your damn notepad and pen instead of making eye contact with this comedic legend? Very disrespectful. What a goof.
Lmfao!!
Basically a stoner version of "Who's On First?"
the original tape? yeah man. the original tapes not her?
I feel old . Im only 50 I use this refrenence when I knock on a door to be let in to a secured area at work. The youngins did not get it. I felt stupid lol
It's not your fault that they're uncultured.
They are uncultured
@@IBeforeAExceptAfterK ha I said SAME thing
Chong:telling the story
Interviewer:writing with full on fake smile
Me:Cringes
🙄
The door locked from the inside
Dave is not here💨💨💨😴
Hihuhi
just listened for the first time ever (30) and yea not funny at all
What a terrible interviewer incredibly rude and awkward to write when he’s talking. Does he write for a paper in the 1920’s?
lolol sorry dave.... 37th & national.... bad land days.... hahahahaha sorry dave hahahahahaa... billiards comin......
