Looks like we are in for a treat this week....Wow looks pretty crazy so far.

Diggnation is up early! Thanks chuckles, and others!

*That is what happens when you are so excited about a new episode early...your fingers shake and your finger slips over onto the "o" key when you are pressing "i"...maybe a mod could fix this :-D*

I think the video is broke... Downloaded the HD Quicktime version. Wont stream to xbox and when I was watching it on my computer it stopped at the jim cramer story. No problems with any other videos or streaming to xbox. Anyone else having this problem?

[Crash1337]

there is something wrong, the HD version is showing 180mb as the file size.

[gillilandboy]

Broke for me as well. I was watching it on my Apple TV when it crapped out. Tried watching it on my MacBook Pro same problem at the same time (right at the start of the Jim Cramer story).

[Ch28Kid]

Same, the HD version show up as 189,792,256 bytes.

I gotta say, one of the best diggnation!

I wish it was a big longer tho.

Amaz-za-zing episode, but I do have to say, look at 33:54. Someone throws a wad of paper at Alex. Not cool, but still hilarious. I'd say I am more of an Alex fan than a Kevin fan, but I was doubled over in righteous laughter over this. So wrong, but oh so right. I thought he was going to say something, but he kept his cool and stayed a good host.

I kneel to your greatness.

What is with the varying release times recently? It isn't just with this show, I've seen it across just about all the other shows.

[simontrent]

I was really surprised Prager's story wasnt talked about.

Great episode though !!!

I love these live shows.

[jonny126]

Does anyone know what kind of shoes those are that Kevin gave to the guy? Ya know those bitching yellow and black ones? I've been searching the Adidas store and no matter where I look I can't find them.

Yeah I managed to read that post about 3 min after I posted, thanks guys, my mornings are complete now!

Great show, live shows are always fun to watch.

I felt like buying a ton of ADIDAS shoes after watching the show. I have always enjoyed their shoes. Are these (http://www.shopadidas.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3042759&shopGroup=R&cp=2039765.2019613&colorId=) the shoes Kevin was wearing? I am definitely having a hard time between those and the black/white/yellow pair they gave out. Late b-day present anyone? ;)

[mebe]

ugh I'm getting tired of the frat jocks in the audience. Tho it might just be the location.

hmm well I suppose the show does kinda cater to them idiots.

Dude I was at this taping (you can see me in the front) and there were absolutely no FRAT/JOCKS there. A bunch of like minded geeks man , it was really awesome I had a ton of fun and my friend got a pair of the shoes they threw out.

Alex and Kevin and the whole TRS crew even stuck around and talked to everyone afterwards. They're really cool dudes.

I wish you guys couldeve seen ALL the free shit they tossed out before they started recording. I think everyone there got at least one thing for free , not to mention Woot.com gave everyone stuffed Woot Monkeys.

Looking forward to seeing them come back to Austin!

Do Kevin and Alex not know that Hippie doesn't edit the show anymore or what?

Hippie still edits Diggnation as a freelancer, lol.

[rabidbadger]

Nice episode episode.....I love alex's expression when kevin tells him he doesn't know how handle a Mac. Alex's response was epic

[vash]

Haha Wet sandwich from heaven.

[vash]

DUDE!! Someone mentioned Swat Cats!! That was fricken rad! That jet had every fricken weapon known to man. And they were cats. Haha. Also grew up on Street Sharks too.

[eseymour]

I wanted to go so badly, I just can't afford it at the moment, it would be so kick-ass if they did a show in North Carolina...

Great show though as always, looked like it was a lot of fun.

[sharen-lena-treutel]

Anyone know which soundboard that Gary is using?

Oops.. wrong episode thread :x Question stands though.. go watch the ep 195!

[andarnold]

Enjoyed the episode, of course all of the live diggnations are amazing. Especially enjoyed the adiddas bit, never knew about that specific line of shoes, pretty unique. Gotta love that they have a van too. haha
