Today on diggnation - Tea! ... *snore*

[hamtaro]

Is anybody else sick of hearing them talk about tea? I feel like I'm listening to two grandmothers. Actually they're getting boring as shit in general, their stories are all just - company X made a PR mistake - company Y changed their release date from June to October - Company Z had a sale but the discounts weren't very good.

I'll probably watch a couple more episodes, but that'll be it for me unless they can think of something more entertaining to discuss than tea.

As Alex and Kevin have more and more projects to do, and most shoots are in the morning, I doubt it will go back to the old style very often. Sure, the show has changed, but I don't really mind it. I just don't like that the show has gotten shorter... :/

IMHO, the banter is the reason we watch. If they can do that sober, so be it.

But, I think we all know that there are times in which being drunk is the reason it's funny.

I'm a tea-drinker so I enjoy when they talk about tea, though I will say that when they're both slurring words and rambling on it's rather funny. I agree with the earlier statement that it's shortening in length is annoying, but the tea is fine with me.

tea = good

[masherscf]

Two grandmothers, that's hot.

If you don't like where they have gone with the show, start your own...

I love Diggnation, and will be a fan till the day they put the cameras down, but started missing the old days of drunkeness and tangents. So me and my buddy decided, we are two funny/witty people, let's make our own podcast. We aren't "Kevin & Alex status" and we have NO production money (and it shows) but we are getting some positive feedback!

I say make your own show, or better yet, give ours a listen.

P.S. Making your own, makes you appreciate the effort that goes into producing a podcast.

funny considering recently Kevin has done a few stories that start with him saying "This didn't make it to the front page, but I liked it"

[cryptic]

I like when the guys take a story and give their view on the issues at hand. Frankly, their being drunk is annoying more often than not. Whether it is beer or tea, a little less time dedicated to the beverage and more time to the stories would be fine by me.

[djtyrant]

Don't like it? Don't watch it, simple as that.

Tea. You know, I'm a fan of the plain ol' Lipton stuff. It tastes good to me, I like it. Yes, there are pricey specialty teas I love too, but Lipton is the grilled-cheese of teas for me, what I drank as a kid when I wasn't feeling well, a comfort-tea.

[fieryfrog]

I have to say. I miss the banter that was created thru drinking alcohol. Some of the things that come out of Kevin's mouth while he is drunk, kills me. And of course. Alex on alcohol = hilarious.

Ive always been a lover of tea. I love when they get drunk and all the fun stuff. They have kind of made me aware that there is much better beer out there then the typical stuff out there. The same for tea. Drinking beer all the time every week or so can get tring and when its not fun anymore what is the point in doing it then. Give them a break.

as others have said, they are filming and working earlier and earlier, due to their busy lifestyle. if you are into the show for beers, then i suggest looking elsewhere.

that being said, not all of their stories are about companies, date changes, mergers, etc etc, its just a reflection of the times. Hard times means alot of changes in the industry, and various markets.

if you arent interested, thats too bad.

and you should try some of those adagio teas. i never really was into tea for the lonhest time, but recently, in the last year or two, coffee was getting boring, and i figured id give quality teas a shot. it was a good choice.

What's wrong with tea? They've just shown that tea isn't just for grandmothers lol. Unfortunately no one can really control the content a lot of the viewers like the majority of what they talk about so it won't just be changed. Personally hearing about windows and stuff bores me but I just endure.
