    Hey can I not direct download anymore? My ancient desktop computer died and if I sync my iPod with another iTunes then it’ll erase a lot of music I don’t have anymore. It’s a lot easier for me, and I’m sure for others, to direct download and transfer the file to our iPods some other way.

    Please let me know if there’s something I’m missing here…?

    Love the show!

  • Hayley

    I practically live on this show. I’m so happy a new episode is out. I’m Dutch, so I can’t wait to here the story about the Dutch computers. Love the show!

  • Courtney

    I’m so glad a new episode is out… your timing is impeccable – honestly. I can’t wait to listen to the show and unwind after the stressful day I had.
    I absolutely love the show!

    FANTASTIC show guys! All my favorite segments, plus the new format seems to be working much better now. Was a bit shaky at first, but it’s come into it’s own.
    Just one comment though, I’m sure I’m not the only brit who gets a tad confused when you guys start talking about Jay Leno etc. It’s not that I don’t think you should talk about it, but you seem to assume we all automatically knwo what you’re talking about, but it all goes straight over my head :L it’s still enjoyable to listen to, but I’m sure it’d be even better if I ahd a bit of context. Just a tip for future – don’t assume your listeners from outside the US will know about these sorts of things!
    kthnxbai xD

  • Elysa

    Magicmarkers, that’s some really great constructive criticism. Thanks a lot for the tip, I’ll definitely remember that in future episodes.

  • Amy

    Love that Credence Clear Water Revival was mentioned. Was not a fan until I caught a concert 2 summers ago in Junction City Kansas, now I’m hooked! I would love to hear more music discussions in the future possibly.

  • magicmarkers

    You’re welcome, it just occured to me as I was listening, I sort of went ’so…hey, who IS this guy exactly?’ haha :) I mean, I know he’s a chat show host, but apart from that I’m a bit clueless >< and also, it'd be great if you could include some more UK news – I mean, we are an 'important' country, and your idea of world news does seem a bit skewed towards reporting thngs in africa/middle east. Which is great, of course, but needs a bit more european balance too. After all, the expenses scandal, you could have done hours of hilarious shows just on that one story! :D

  • Sean

    Ok. That was so funny. “Laura’s going to ride the four horsemen.” Haha.

  • Lon Seres

    I watched Conan on tour a few days ago and it was very funny. I can’t wait for his new show to come to TBS. It will be the start of a new chapter in late night television.
