Publisher's Summary

Debuted and currently #4 on the New York Times audio bestseller list!

Fifty-something David Spade is letting it all hang out. Older (yes), wiser (debatable), in A Polaroid Guy in a Snapchat World, the actor, comedian, and SNL alum reflects on his life then and now through a series of candid and hysterical (and occasionally cringe-worthy) takes on everything from why it’s getting harder to date younger women, to what it’s like being a dad now, to suddenly being the “old guy” on set. 

Whether he’s musing on the alarming ease of breaking up over text (he’s done it), feuding with a teenage Internet celebrity (spoiler alert, he lost), or dealing with the friend from high school who became his full-time plus-one, when the star of Joe Dirt and Just Shoot Me unleashes his biting wit and dirty mind on the general freakiness of middle-age, he’s in a league of his own (not to be confused with A League of Their Own). 

Written and performed for the Audible experience, Spade’s new comic memoir takes listeners along for the sometimes embarrassing and always hilarious ride of getting older in our fleeting “Snapchat World”.

A Polaroid Guy in a Snapchat World

David Spade is a very gifted at storytelling and shares some of his life experiences (sometimes a little too much information haha from taking dick pics, the life of a plus 1 in Hollywood, being robbed, homeless people and a brief but pat insight into his childhood. Wished it was longer than 6 hours 12 mins and included more detail about his time at Saturday Night Live and his friendship with Chris Farley. Listening to it it goes down like a milkshake and will not tax the brain too much. Funny, witty and breezy audio sesh.

Sooooooo funny.

I am a fan of David Spade, and read his first book which was fantastic and inciteful. But I love the audio book as it's so great to hear the delivery of the stories with great timing. He should do more books, but as an "audio" book because it's like listening to six hours of standup. DS is totally underrated as a comedian. He really is one of the best. I literally resigned back to audible to hear the book. Yes audible, it worked to get people to subscribe.

Long but worth it

Spade brings his classic humour to his autobiography which leaves you feeling horribly sorry for him but chuckling all the while. I don’t recommend eating while listening to this but maybe some heavy alcohol instead. Happy Listening Joe Dirté

Laugh out loud funny.

Loved it. First audible book I have listened to and I laughed the whole way through. An intriguing insight to men. Well...some men.

Loved it

I was having Rules of Engagement withdrawal symptoms. This audio book was a welcome relief. Loved it. And being Generation X (just - a young X), I could relate to so much of it.

Love David Spade. I’ll admit I wasn’t a big fan until Rules of Engagement. Then ironically married a David who looks like him, is around his age and is (almost) as funny.

Thanks for putting this audio book together for us, David. It was an absolute joy.

6 hours went by in a flash

I did have to stop eating while Spade was talking about his junk.. Other than that, it wasn't bad.

Got exactly what I expected and more.

Six hours of David Spade talking about his views on life, intertwined into chapters about his career in Hollywood, experience in dating and giving us the occasional sound effect impression, makes for a very entertaining audio book.
Added bonus if you are a fan of Emperor's New Groove, as its exactly like listening to an MA rated Kuzco reading a biography out aloud. That's weird but also awesome.
I got what I expected and more, and I would love to listen to additional stories from him.
I was a bit sad when it ended. I'm also left with wanting to ask Spade so many questions about the stories he told.
Oh yeah! ...that's a Kuzco reference.
