Normally when I stay up to listen to the show live I'm barely awake (the show is on between 2 and 5 am here), and I'm sort of just hanging in there, writing stupid stuff in the chat and trying to stay awake - then immediately crash when the show is over, which causes huge chunks of the show to be either coming back in my dreams, or be lost in oblivion. In any event I often have to re-listen to the show when I wake up.
So you can just imagine how bizarre an experience this show was. I stayed up til the end of hour 3 (5 am), then my memory is blank until about 7.30 am, when I for some reason tuned in again and caught the last half hour, which was disorienting to say the least. I'll revisit the whole thing in its entirety tomorrow, but right now it feels like the best show ever, or something like that.
Thanks to the chat for holding it down - always great stuff happening there (Not "The Jerk" Steve Martin, the jerk Steve Martin.)
And thanks to Tom and Mike for the supreme effort! Talk about champs.
