Hey, that Brian Dear guy was great! You ought to have him on again! lol.. Good show!
June 6th, 2009 at 11:37 pm
I agree! LOL
June 7th, 2009 at 4:26 am
I am only half-way through, but I have to agree. Funny guy
June 7th, 2009 at 3:20 pm
I’m only a third of the way through but I’m really annoyed. I don’t know if it’s the new mics or a mess up in the mixing, but the “background” music is louder than any of the panelists or hosts! I can barely hear what is being said over the music. Is this just me?
June 8th, 2009 at 12:27 pm
Hi,
Could one of you email me please? It’s about the Under Quarantine post . ..
Thanks,
Jason
June 8th, 2009 at 1:56 pm
Thanks for the feedback, Kevin. I’ll see what Joe can do, being a tech-tard myself, I’m pretty useless with that stuff. Part of it may be us adjusting to having mics that aren’t on our faces…
June 8th, 2009 at 2:09 pm
Update Kevin– Joe says it is fixed this week. So, let us know if it’s not…
June 8th, 2009 at 11:09 pm
Kevin, I’ve gone through and redone the sound. It should be more tolerable now. An extra note, the music for the first third of the show is what Brian Dear mixed while in quarantine.
June 9th, 2009 at 1:41 pm
Thanks for the responses. The second half of the show wasn’t nearly as bad, which leads me to believe it may have just been my crappy headphones that I was using vs. my normal car stereo that I listen to while driving.
Thanks also for the congrats for my wedding! Wasn’t expecting it and it was cool. Good luck with your planning!

Hey Joe, can you put that sound clip of Jen’s crazy ass laughter into a separate file so I can use it as a ring tone for my cell phone?
June 11th, 2009 at 10:35 am
She would kill me! On, and BTW, thanks everyone for telling her I did that. You all know she doesn’t listen to the shows, and I thought I could get away with doing that.
