Why do you like diggnation?

[kirill]

Very simple. What are some of things about it that you like?

[tribis]

Kevin and Alex are funny, show is very laid back and funny. Beer and beer.

And the fact that Kevin and Alex are people we can relate with....atleast untill theyre both rich and sell out :(

[mr-underachiever]

It's just a fun, funny show. Sure, Alex and Kevin reek of unprofessionalism at times, but I think that's another thing I like about it--it's just two guys talking about stuff I care about.

[klitzy]

What guy can't like two guys sitting on a couch with laptops drinking beer and talking about technology. I would have to say I like it because of how different Alex and Kevin are but how they work so well with each other. I don't think the chemistry between them could be any better. Alex's sense of humor is totally different than Kevins and makes for an awesome show.

[pdesigns]

I think diggnation is great because the stories they talk about are the things submitted by digg users and they talk about what we, as a whole, are interested in.

[mongoose]

I love everything about digg and it's very entertaining. It was the first podcast that I watched/listened to consistently.

Kevin is my hero.

[dj-hotar]

I love Diggnation because it has Kevin Rose, and I am a Kevin Rose Fanboy.

[bman]

There just plain awsome people lol. They can entertain you without even trying.

[brew7]

I think it so much fun to watch because we get to see what Kevin and Alex are like in person, and it is like they are just chilling and talking to us not trying to be professionals or anything like that.

[dicknixon]

It was the first podcast I saw that wasn't trying to be a TV show. It was funny and original about something that interested me. So I stuck around and I still watch now.

[breakuoff]

I agree with Mr. Underachiever

[scoobydiesel]

News that i some times care about as well as great host and fun times, it just seems like a perfect match :)

[solidsquirrel]

It's funny and isn't all formal like many boring Podcasts. It also informs me of stuff I may have missed on Digg, and reminds me of TSS :P

[joegran]

I like the news they talk about, i like digg, and i like to laugh.
Good combination. And i've been a fan of Kevin and Alex since TSS.

[godspeed]

its a good quality show it has everything it needs to be good down to earth people humor serious bits and peices its well rounded

maby im just a geek but shows like diggnation, and other shows from ex techtv host would get high ratings on tv if there was still a channel for them

of corse we wouldn't have all theese new shows if there was either if you get what im saying

[striker1211]

I love watching a tv show where the actors are normal people... well, as normal as tv stars can be. It's fun listening to alex talk casually about flying a frickin helicopter and kevin's trip to geek camp.

[sektor]

It's great for most of the above reasons and I like how they just continue taping, even when there are errors or they say something strange. It just makes them seem more human. I can relate to the geeky stuff. The drinking just makes it hilarious.

[psylion]

The boys make me laugh, particularly when they lose it (Al Pachino). I like how they manage to make the mac-hater thing funny. They talk about ridiculous stories. They are so down to earth it makes you feel like you could be right there with them drinking beer and hanging out.
And, of course, I cannot leave out that Kevin is hot as shit.

[ctraider]

One word. Alex Albrecht. (that's 4...no wait..8).

If they are both a little drunk they loosen up a bit and say the stuff you know other say in privacy.

I like that they pretty much make fun of all the stories to some extent. It's good to be able to find the humor in all things.

[ahrenba]

Man, so many reasons. One of the main reasons I watch is because Kevin and Alex are really funny to listen to, and most of all, they are down-to-earth and just seem like regular guys, chilling and talking about stuff they like. The show has no "corporate" feel to it which makes it appealing, and fun to watch.

Thanks Kevin, Alex, and Diggnation for the many good times. :)

[artofwar420]

The hosts work well together, the show is informative, they like beer and so do I.

[einhanderkiller]

I like Diggnation because it's funny. One of the funniest podcasts I listen to. I go to Digg for the news and Diggnation for the commentary. :D

[nextgenxbox]

Because I am a fan of Kevin and Alex. They're funny. They're honest. And I like the whole "indie" feel to it.... when you boil it down, it just two guys on a couch drinking beers while a camcorder is rolling. If ever you wanted the definition of low budget, diggnation is that. And that's why I love it!

[ariastar]

Whether it's an act or not, the two I see on the show are two people I could see myself hanging out with. Kevin and Alex are down to earth. They're not behaving in a stuck-up manner, roll with the punches, and talk some general BS. They're not completely inaccessible, like they're trying to keep themselves seperated from their fans. The light-hearted banter is a nice break nfrom the day.

[floopy]

I like watching something that will make me think some of the time and make me laugh the rest of the time.

Exactly what I was thinking as I read through this thread.

It's just a great time watching some cool people talk about interesting and funny topics.

[charliedigital]

it's just freaking funny. Thier commentary and crazy tangents are hilarious.

"dont spread the taco!"

"what if it was really al pacino at home submitting stories"

"$100 laptop(with crank) for tracking sheep in the fields of Scotland...."


and so on..

[sillyemoboi]

I really like Alex's humor with the mix of Kevin's tech savy (not saying that Alex isn't tech savy). It catches me up on stories I do not catch and I like the way it is shot, very simple and informal.

[tangerine]

... because as a one-eyed keyboarist extraordinare who's into drunken internet: I love the tech banter, the off-topic converstations between two guys who are into what they cover.

[okay mostly]


Alex & Kevin compliment one another.
Bottom line: G R E A T * S H O W

Seeing Kevin Throw Up On Alex's Couch:PRICELESS

[natech911]

I love the relaxed format. Two guys drinking and chatting about top diggs. I love Alex and Kevin’s sense of humor and candidness. It always makes me feel like I am sitting across from the guys, sharing a cold one and laughing with them. And it never hurts that they both are easy on the eyes. :-)

[soniti]

Honestly, it's because I feel like I'm right there on the couch with them. I think that feeling was embodied TOTALLY when Kevin said "Oh DOOD I just spit beer on your couch!!!" The tone in his voice was completley one that you'd hear when you're just chilling, and some shit goes wrong...

Also, I like to hear the little tid bits that they throw in there every now and then.. "So I was at Liam Lynch's house.." "Never guess who I saw at the gym...JESSICA BIEL.."

It's those little bits that remind me that they live in the dream world that is California. It just makes me feel a bit closer to my fantasy of living there.

Gaahh.. I want the new episode lol..

~Soniti

[bigmikeherrmann]

alex and kevin, i have no reason for watching besides them

[murphy71984]

To put it simply, it puts a smile on my face. :)

[vhalkirian666]

It's just two guys hanging out, drinking beer and talking about things going on in the world.

[rabidbadger]

The boys make me laugh...(snip) ...
And, of course, I cannot leave out that Kevin is hot as shit.

As the token old queen here I couldn't agree more...:D

[klitzy]

As the token old queen here I couldn't agree more...:D

Deja Vou

And we love you for it

EDIT:HA! Found it....Here ya go Rabid Badger

"{queerdom}

As the resident homo here at rev3 forums, I think Alex and his new "do" is absulutely georgeoso... It beats that faux-hawk, mid-eighties, flock-a-seagullsish, over-producted mess-up he's had camped out on his head like a snickering bleach blond woodchuck since libarace was alive...

{/end queerdom}

Meanwhile, in real (net) life. Funny episode. Only five minutes into it and they are back on track. Except that Arrogant Bastard Ale is a really, really good beer..."

-By the way guys...Anyone from the old forums, I saved most of the topics in there from the Diggnation section.

[rabidbadger]

Wow. Cool. Do you have the "we love keith" thread that I just mentioned on the Keith thread?

[msmags]

Kevin and Alex seem like fun, cool guys that I would totally hang out with IRL (if they would let me). ;)
