I thought Kevin or Alex would see the hilarity in the picture with the Australian Party Kid. X|
At least I laughed.

Shorter episode too. :(
I need more Rev3 to speed up the slow day at work.

[reaktor5]

What was that song that Kevin was playing at the very end of the episode?
It was pretty cool.

[ohhoe]

I liked this episode.


Also, kevin's single again! Somewhere in the world msmags has spontaniously combusted. haha.

[goatnailer]

I too would like to know what the song at the end of the episode was, sounded awesome!

edit: I think it might be a band called RATATAT. Not sure of which particular song however.

It was "Burst Generator" by "The Chemical Brothers" album "We are The Night"

Winner!
Thanks a ton. :D

Hey Kevin and Alex - Mescal is basicly Tequila. It can only be called tequila if it is made from 100% blue agave (there are other types of the agave), and is made in Jalisco. If it does not meet both of these qualifications it is called mescal. There are actually some pretty good mescals out there, as well as a ton of really really bad mescals out there! Also, tequila NEVER has a worm. That is most definitely mescal, and the worm is a worm from the agave cactus.

[bvanhaun]

i loved the ending. kudos glenn.

[chrisntr]

Cool episode! No mention of beer/drink either which was a bit strange.

[oct_dragon74]

Cool episode! No mention of beer/drink either which was a bit strange.

That was odd!

[m3wse]

Cool episode! No mention of beer/drink either which was a bit strange.Yeah, normally they say they're not drinking, or make a thing of the tea they're drinking. BUT kevin made more pronunciation errors than he does when drunk! (though episode is shorter, so indicative of drink free) Kevin did say on his blog he is not drinking during the week, and they shoot on a wednesday so... but even then, they normally drink tea when beer free...

[pedepy]

guys: don't skip on the beers/drinks/tea part. it makes the show feel more 'homey' - like we're a part of it, sitting with prager and all in the living room with you guys. theres this show on tv here where they open up a bottle of wine half way and share it with everyone - its the exact same idea.

if you dont make it feel like were part of the conversation then its just two dudes sitting on a couch talkin about stories alot of us have already read about. And if to top things off you dont comment much about 'em, then it the exercise looses relevance altogheter.

THATs why ppl keep bitchin' about you guys havin no beers, about you guys plowing through the stories. Things had gotten much better over the past couple episodes, so keep up the good work (but dont force it either..)

[nefarious]

I also was disappointed with the lack of beer, I sat down and opened a can to drink along and nothing, no mention either which scares me, I've heard them talking about gradually taking beer out of the show before. The show will never be CNN so don't try to change it guys, it's one of the most popular new-media shows there is!

As mentioned before: Glen, that ending was pretty awesome.

[silentspyder]

I saw this twitter from Kevin "trying to get into better shape, so far so good - but gotta have a beer for @ajv's going away party tonight" so maybe he's trying to lay off the beer. While I prefer them having beer, it's kind of selfish that they should have to drink for our amusment.

"Finally-- I can honestly say I'm in the best shape of my life. Both physically and mentally. I hate to say it, but alcohol was really affecting my energy levels. If I had a few drinks the night before, there was very little chance of me doing anything (other than meeting friends for drinks) after work."

Yeah, I read that too, but it doesn't explain why the lack of beer OR tea... normally on a non-drinking diggnation, they mention tea or something...

[eddielee]

Awesome how Alex recognized prisoner 24601

[geekdw]

True... maybe they just got distracted (like usual)

[vahnx]

Never even noticed.

[alphabetagaga]

I usually notice in terms of length/lack of side tracking conversations, but overall, pretty episode. I got a kick out of the List of 75...Also, Alex's reactions to the diet (already forgot its name...) were hilarious.

While beer would be nice, as long as the quality of the show is good, I don't mind. Though, I wouldn't mind longer episodes at all. :)

[msmags]

I liked this episode.


Also, kevin's single again! Somewhere in the world msmags has spontaniously combusted. haha.


LoL. So true. Is it mean that I'm slightly (ok more than slightly) happy that Kevin's single again......ooooh, I can dare to dream! :D


Anyway, great episode guys. Btw, I've fasted a couple of times before, mostly b/c I wanted to get my energy back, and give my vital organs a break. I did a 5 day fast both times, drinking only vegetable broth, water and mint tea.

It worked wonders, and not only did my energy skyrocket, but my skin was super clear, and I lost 7 pounds.

But yeah, it was hard not to eat food for 5 days. Made me a sad (and hungry) panda.

[joadjovae]

i loved this episode, diggnation is back in action! I am also happy Kevin is single now... Melody seems like a sweet girl but not Kevin's type... then again what do I know about that really? LOL Great job on the ending Glen it made me chuckle! I'm surprised at how fast Kevin's hair is growing back... is anyone else?

[pepperen]

Gouda? is that what you guys meant when talking about cheese. Because that is the worst pronunciation i have EVER heard.

[logant]

Well according to Dictionary.com it's both. You can either say it like:

Grr, thanks guys I've not been able to stop playing Chemical Brothers - Burst Generator because of that ending! heh

[rowlodge]

might as well be proud of your shaved head, take that "cap of shame" off, kevin!

[zenbiont]

No self-respecting man would live by that bucket list. Perfect omelet? Dude. Drive the 101? How about a demolition derby? See an animal in the wild? How about hunt, eat, and dress yourself in its hide? Guys seriously, the urbanite technophilia will not go very far when civilization collapses, cell phones go dead, and zombies feast on the living. I know it was dugg but come on. Lame is lame regardless of popularity.

[scotishstriker]

nice tim and eric thing you going at the end

[bigstupid]

I personally don't care if they don't get smashed... they can do a good show either way and there is a place for both smashed and non-smashed shows in my heart.

Hell, I don't even drink, but it's always fun to watch drunks.

As to Kevin being single again.... man... this guy goes through more vagina than Krazy Karl's Used Vagina Emporium. Pass some of those sweet, sweet good-times on to your audience. I mean, you need to market your sweat or something.

[dizmog]

Liked the episode, missed the drinking of ANYTHING, i dug the tea as much as the beer.

It was another thing that separated this show from other weekly topic shows and I really enjoyed it.

Consume things guys.

Kevin is freaking sexy as hell. Not sure if it's just his sweat..... ;)

[xfuuey]

they are on health kicks at the moment. mainly b/c kevin is such a fatass :p! it's been a long time coming. so you probably won't see much beer drinking again for a long time..

[maxhdrm]

I like the show and actually thought it was nice without the beer this time. While it can be dangerous to fast for too long, short spurts are ok and I agree with MSMAG on how it helps to clean out your system all the way around. Vitamin supplements can help to maintain necessary mineral and vitamins during the process as well.

Ok on the subject of Danica Patrick (F1 racer) posing for playboy that was mentioned. I call BS. She WAS asked by them and vehemently turned them down. However, she has already posed for the February issue of Sports Illustrated and FHM (see link here if interested http://www.beyondhollywood.com/gallery/danica-patrick-fhm-magazine/) I think she has too much class for PB. In my opinion you can be hot/sexy without being completely revealing. There is something to be said for the mystery.

I did the research and no such announcement.

[heyseuss]

He's publicly had 4 girlfriends in about 5 years. That's alot ?

I was being goofy... and yes... to some, that might be a lot. I've had 2 my entire life and I'm still not sure how I achieved that. I was just hoping he could pass out his special essence of asskickery to his viewers and general well-wishers. Not everybody is as blessed with interest by the opposite sex. Must be the back hair.

Also, I would hope people could find that special someone with whom they can share a lifetime with... maybe, you could look at it as he is not so blessed, after all...

Ahh, okey dokey then. Good reply.

In that case, I've failed and been disqualified from the search alltogether.

Sorry, if the initial post came off as being incredulous or mean (it wasn't meant to be). I think part of the reason why Kevin doesn't like to talk about his personal relationships, is because of this kind of scenario and others like it. He is the same as anyone else... he just has a following and that makes all the difference, I suppose.

I tend to lay it all out there and leave very little to the imagination. I don't care if I sound cool or lame or something in between (that doesn't mean I don't care what other people might think, it's just that there seems to be so much social redirection and restriction). I'm happy for everyone at Rev3 for having the opportunity to be involved in things that they are interested in and passionate for... I only wish we all could be so fortunate. But, because they are personalities that we get to know in some way or another, we feel a kind of kinship and perhaps an almost friend-like ownership sometimes, that really only exists in our minds.

I feel free and secure enough with myself to express my views and go down those paths that my shenanigans take me. Like Shakespeare wrote, 'The play's the thing'...my take on that... life and the surreal are often mirror images, that take their cues from interpretation of the participatory reality we are all a part of and yet deny as false, all in the same breath. Reflections that cast no shadows.

Plus, I just wish girls would like me better.

[mercer]

First, Great ep. loved the musical ending :)

Secondly, I give a "Self-Zing" award to bigstupid

I'm sure I'm not speaking alone for the rest of the ladies on the board, but i'll pass on the vagina.

[quantumfreak]

Kevin is better off not discussing his relationships publicly until after they are over. On LeovilleTownsquare, during the TSS days, fans were always discussing Kevin and Sarah. I pointed out that Kevin and Sarah's relationship shouldn't be so public because it would be ugly if it unraveled. It certainly became evident it was over on screen the last few months before Kevin left TSS.

[donoram]

Really missing the beers. It was almost like we were back to drinking form. Beers were drunk, discussed, enjoyed. And we played along again like we did, drinking a beer and enjoying the commentary.

Guys, it's part of the show. Where's the beer?

[doxid]

haha,
"Did you see shit?"
"Thers no way they'll let you eject cause you know, why? You would be like holding your hands like this and as soon as you hit the first <something> yu'd be like.. AAAAAAA fuck it *pst*", ah man.. work just got alot funnier ^^

Didn't know you guys had a cheeze fetish tho, heh ;P

hunt, eat, and garb yourself in a deer pelt... wow that's motivating man. yeah the things on that list were lame. I want to bare knuckle fight a bear at least 2x's my size.

agree w/ others.. no mention of beer, tea, wine, shots... sodas... dont you guys realize that IMO the appeal of the show isnt about the Digg stories as much as it is he casual partying/social relationship of guys getting together?

[bigstupid]

agree w/ others.. no mention of beer, tea, wine, shots... sodas... dont you guys realize that IMO the appeal of the show isnt about the Digg stories as much as it is he casual partying/social relationship of guys getting together?

So does that mean that they absolutely have to be drinking it up for people to be satiated? I don't agree with this at all. I don't think the show needs to rely on alcohol or props of any kind. You can have a buds getting together feel without props... in fact, every time they do a show without the beers, they accomplish that for me. They can drink or not, it makes absolutely no difference to me. I am only one body, but my mind is legion.

One of the best parts of the show is the casual atmosphere, of that I will agree... and not just with the Alex and Kevin, but with everyone that gets involved with the production. I've been watching since day one and unless the show starts blowing more load than a zoo chimpanzee exhibit... I'll be there... watching... from the shadows.

[quantumfreak]

The guys don't need to be drunk to enjoy the show. I find their interaction better without being drunk. The gigglefest gets old and the show drags. I'd rather hear a clear headed discussion of a topic. Plus with the new anti drunk driving ads, it looks hypocritical and disrespectful of the sponsor's message.

[skellener]

Probably one of the funniest double takes by Alex I have ever seen! Great show!
