Best Episode Ever. Greatness was achieved!

Come on guys..what's the deal? Diggnation is getting shorter and shorter! Sometimes it seems like you read two stories and then it's sponsor time....I love your show guys, but seriously...where'd the passion go?

I just don't get it.

It has been a while since I last watched diggnation. I saw Adam Savage was on it so i decided to watch it.
What was with alex at the beging of the show he was acting like he had no clue what adam was talking about and he wasn't listening to what adam was saying. He was cumming off as kind of an ass. After they started talking about stories though he seemed to settle down and payed attention to what was going on.

Also adam's Maltese falcon speech was on digg's front page 3 or 4 times how did neither of them see it?


I watched religiously for the first 2 years and stopped because it started getting repetitive and this wasn't a good show to bring me back.

As altreality said their passion is really gone alex and kevin don't read digg and the banter is starting to suck. They need to take a month or 2 off so they will not be so burnt out on it.

I don't think you mean, what you think you mean.

First time watching this show, maybe last.

Adam was cool and all, but I'm getting so annoyed by the host guy with styled hair.

Just wanted to get that out... bye and thanks.

Yea you guys need to get drunk before doing the shows... It makes for funnier, longer shows. It's hilarious how many people bash Alex... He has a personality that kinda has to grow on you. First time i saw him on The Screen Savers I thought the same thing that he was annoying... But the more I've seen him the more I realize hes a cool dude that i would hang with. I think with a special guest though you should be able to push the time to atleast 45 minutes. Good show though and i enjoyed seeing Adam Savage...

It might be funny for all the 12 year olds watching, but Kevin & Alex are in their mid thirties and frankly, it gets a bit embarrassing. Getting drunk in front of a guest would just have been awkward and horrible.

This could have been a great episode. Adam is such a cool guest, but somehow it didn't quite work. I do like the idea of having guests on to comment on the stories though.

Alex seemed really distant and made really awful unrelated jokes for some confusing reason.

I highly suggest a break from Diggnation to refuel its gauge. Things have gone down hill fast, and the audience is noticing.

And I don't think there's anything embarrassing about 30somethings getting drunk. Adam Savage might not be all that into drinking, but I very much miss when they'd get smashed on the show. It's a good time, and they loosen up a lot. The comedy always flows when Alex is willing to say absolutely anything.

"Kevin wants to put his pee pee in her hole" about Bearonica? Priceless.

Actually, in reality, it was a great episode. Adam is a perfect guest for Diggnation. Just thought I would mention that.

Now back to our regularly scheduled whining.
