I was watching some CNN anchor talking to a guy in Ukraine and he went all high pitched voice and was asking dumbass questions just like Dennis's "I understand there's a waaaar?!?! going on?" These guys are a sober reflection of our society.

New episode of the podcast! I'm trying listening on something with some subwoofer and it sounds like there's a party going on next door, an audio engineer is gonna be nice.

In the Ladies' Boggs episode, right after Dee's hallucinations with Marta and Boss, when Artemis comes to talk to Dee, you see normal women in their seats. It was a more prominent gag in the original Boggs episode but I thought it was really funny here.

They have all the mics flat. I'd probably use the presence boost, and also high pass at 100hz (not the mic's high pass). You're also hearing a lot of reflections. This episode had particularly bad sound.

SM7Bs are great mics, but people really suck at using them. The amount of times I see people talking about needing more gain for it, when that's not actually the issue they're having is nuts.

Those hard boiled eggs looked delicious.

Work on any indie production and you'll quickly appreciate how important and how forgotten sound is. It's always overlooked and bad sound makes a project impossible to watch. Worse than a bad cinematography, camera, subpar lighting, or anything else ever will.

don't get me wrong i think good audio quality can make or break certain experiences, but this is just some guys talking about a show i like. it sounds better than a zoom or phone call and that's enough for me.

I think most of it in this week's episode was specifically Rob not being close enough to his mic. (Aside from when Rob and Charlie were measuring each other, of course.)

I love when they actually talk about the episodes, but I also love when they just do dumb poo poo like measuring each other’s Ape Index and eating coffee eggs. The only thing I haven’t cared about was the call-in episode, but that was mostly because none of the fans had anything interesting to say.

This was drilled into my head in film school and it's so true it hurts. Nobody gives a gently caress about sound and then they get to post and realize they don't have a movie.

I'm talking about the content of the podcast, not the sound quality but all the same no need to be so hostile. I'm not pretending the guys do it all on their own, never said anything like that. I said I don't know who she is, nor do I care. I don't find her interesting or useful on a mic. I enjoy the podcast less because she's on it. That doesn't mean I think she's a bad writer or I hate women or whatever other scenarios you've made up for me in your head. Relax.

On the audio side, I'm not an audiophile so like others have pointed out I don't notice any issues. I can hear them and understand what theyre saying just fine and thats all i need in a podcast. Maybe I should have told the audiophiles who are bothered by the sound to gently caress off. :shrug:

It's the "always sunny podcast" so it actually really makes sense for people involved in the show to, uh, be on the podcast...

In any case, I never said you hated women but interesting that you went there. Maybe it was because I corrected you that she's a woman not a girl? Or that she is accomplished (I know you said you're not interested and dont know (despite two people explaining her accomplishments to you) and that you don't care but sorry facts don't care about your feelings)? I don't know. Not sure what you're upset at, little boy, baby boy.

I mean, she barely ever says anything at all during the episodes of the podcast. There's nothing wrong with not liking her on it or anything, I guess I'm just surprised that she even speaks on the podcast enough to ruin someone's enjoyment of it. I happen to enjoy what little input she has on it for what it's worth.

I like that she has lately been trying to keep the guys on topic. She's started asking them questions to direct their responses, which is definitely better than the earlier episodes that kind of meandered around.

I love the podcast when they're talking about the show or just chatting poo poo. It's great either way because you can tell that they genuinely enjoy each other's company and the way they make each other laugh is great. Megan fits in really well too and it's not like she's hogging the air. The only thing I'm sad about is the fact that I caught up with the episodes so quickly and now I have to wait a week for new ones.

Indeed, the only problem with the podcast is they stopped doing 2 a week :lol:

And Megan is great. For the most part all she adds to the podcast is keeping them on track, asking questions that a fan would probably ask. And doing research on some of the extras.

Although I could see someone who wasn't aware of who she is or her role with Always Sunny to be confused by her being there.

I didn't say ruin particularly, but I am literally saying she makes it less enjoyable for me and her imdb page doesn't change that fact. Her gender is a non-factor to me. It's just an easy thing for people like the other guy having a weird meltdown to throw out to try and "win" an internet argument that shut down discussion. Seems like most like Megan, so I'm clearly in the minority. No big deal.

I also wish there was still two a week.
