That's a negative

The standups are fuzzy. I distinctly recall Angie's submission because it was frackin' funny and Sparkles' submission because he had a peculiar voice and he was a cool guy.

The rest is kinda hazy.

Hayroob's voice will stick in my head forever because he became the marathon's version of Oracle from a certain point...

Too many nerd references. Jeez.

very true (although i'm having a hard time adjusting to the fact that i have to work and have a regular life again. the constant option of being able to go upstairs and immediately have a good time is something i will treasure forever).
everyone did such a great job, all 76 hours are not only listenable, but enjoyable, and we had such an awesome time promoting the book of the century.
thank you to all that listened to matt, mcnally and I as we ploughed through the australian daytime hours.
what an awesome fucking time we had for three days straight!

I still think you did coke off cam to keep up, dizzle.

I understand the withdrawls some of ya are feeling. Last night as the show was on it's 76th hour, I was thinking, "I got a few more hours in me, c'mon guys." But realistically? If you were paying attention, it sounds like the studio is awfully close to Keith and Chemda's room (which is also why they won't be lending out the studio for the Matt Bray morning zoo podcast). It was also starting to stank up in there, and the lower part of the house was beginning to look like a shipping container from China. (Maybe that's a NY thing: every few years a shipping container from China seems to wash up in Brooklyn with a bunch of half dead illegals packed in like sardines).

So relax, listen to some of last year's marathon or parts of this year you recorded. Write up some Haipu's. Or go out and get some fresh air. And of course, pray that they do this again next year. Now they have to break 76 hours. (I'm guessing 80, or the full 4 day 86. 2012 will be the full business week marathon, then the world ends).

I also have to give a big hand to Jesse Joyce. Even though Pat Dixon may be "1000 times funnier" than him, Jesse was a real trooper, holding together the late night (EST) hours with nothing but a fake cigarette and lots of diet soda, while many around him got truly messed up.

Jesse's face on the facebook KATG page is heartbreaking. He looks like a character from Apocalypse Now.

I think he's making the US Soldier signal for 'under duress'.

I believe he's saying, "you have no fucking idea what you're talking about." Now, get out of my ass!

My apologies if I misrepresented you, McNally.
