Well, this is disappointing....I will still listen to the podcast bit I lost a ton of respect for Dan when he praised Seth Meyers and the Stepford Stephen Colbert, who has actually become the person he used to make fun of. Maybe Dan's a conservative but the late night media has been a sad joke for years. Can someone turn him on to progressive media, please?

I have some gig used Tim Oxford sticks from when the Arkells visited the UK last year.
