Why do you think they're called the 49ers? Big gold rush in San Fran brought thousands of miners to the area in the 1800's. Miner 49'er most certainly pre-dates scooby-doo.

Dan's audio is like gitmo weapons grade distortion

This audio actually triggered a migraine for me after 15 minutes of trying to listen. It’s a shame cause it seemed like it was going to be a good episode.

Love the scooby doo reference from Alice with "Miner 49'ers"

Ben Pitts

Y'all getting $10k per month, right? Maybe investment in guest mics would be worth it.

I have Cubase if I really wanted to fuck with the audio.

rip and compress, it's the linux way

"I fucking hate sports but I really should check out the new bonus episode anyways, they always make shit I don't care about interesting." [comments describing bad audio] "The audio seems fine IDK what they-------(ice pick to my brain)-----OMFG wow that's bad, I'll just turn the volume down a little." [4 minutes later writes this comment and closes the video]

Rss when

dat mike

of course this pod doesn't have an RSS feed for bonus content lol

why is this a sports show now

The audio is fine, you quickly get used to it. There is a great episode of Reply All podcast that gives another good background on "the process" but mostly focuses on the sock puppet twitter accounts run by Colangelos wife. What a wild ride. Edit: it is actually over two Reply All episodes. The last 2/3rds of #116 talks about "the process" and the second half of #122 is about the sock puppet accounts.

Oh YES

I'll look forward to a bonus episode I can actually listen to in the future 🤗

Dude sounded like he was speaking through a megaphone.

Martin

Oh no

Next time Justin says "hey, your mic sounds a bit scratchy", please spare a moment to set the gain/levels properly.

narrator: but they could not, in fact, fix the audio quality

"IGNORE MEEEE"

yeah, 10 minutes in and i got a headache. if you chuck this into audition you can fuck with the high/low frequencies to at least get rid of that grating buzz

Didn't know the galactic grand inquisitor was from Philly.

love to listen to a man yell into a bucket about basketball for 2 hours

The shitty audio is actually nice. It's like listening to 660AM in the middle of the night when people call in to complain about the Mets.

I would genuinely be more amenable to rooting for the Sixers if their mascot was, indeed, just Ben Franklin wandering around the arena.

Not to pile on, but yeah, that mic issue makes the episode difficult to watch/listen to. It's not that it's low quality, which can be tolerable, but it's an obvious technical malfunction that's distressing to listen to. I had to dip out after 8 minutes or so. (Edit: just wanted to add that I did spot-check several points later in the episode and it doesn't appear to get better.)

Dan's audio is fucking painful. You might want to check if your guest has something better than a soup can for a microphone next time.

Harrison Sanchez

My dad used to Ref local B ball - I grew up watching a lot and being around Basketball in Australia so my body is ready to SLAM

Erin Claire

this is the crunchiest audio known to man

The Christmas Fish

unlistenable :(

Drake Peterson

YouTube playback sucks ass. Make it downloadable

If you open your equalizer and turn the high and mid frequencies down as far as possible and turn up the low end it's a little better

Chloë Salzenberg

This is the kind of thing you need to re-record, not release. Also, USB microphones sometimes do this unless you unplug them and plug them in again. I shouldn’t have to say this.

Clarp Blarpkiss

that Rain Man ending pitch has serious Barton Fink energy

nox

is this an bonus episode on the awful decision making of the Philadelphia Area basketball team known as the Sixers? Hell yes

Clarp Blarpkiss

he actually has very good equipment and is excellent at his job, but he had an accident and his esophagus had to be reconstructed out of tinfoil.

Liam

open up youtube in chrome, set it to desktop mode, play the vid, close the app and then resume audio on the little dropdown from the top of the screen. (only thing is you'll miss their wonderful slides)

Austin Ramsay

I'm gonna watch but I gotta ask, how does Defector's *video and media editor* have such a bad mic?

i wish the episodes(both bonus and non bonus) would be downloadable, youtube isnt really playable while the phone is in the pocket :D.

Justin Case

It sounds like a john tesh radio callin the whole time

I thought for sure people were being ungrateful children re: Dan’s mic. But, uhh... I was wrong. I’m 6m30s in. Does it improve? Something about that distortion and my own damaged hearing and brain isn’t sitting well.

Ahh, Britain. Where sports is singular, and math is plural.

Great episode, a note on Saric - the reason he signed for Efes was because his father went above his agent's head and negotiated the deal after Cibona won the Adriatic league (also if you want to see something cool search for the video of Saric letting of flares with the fans after the win), when the agent wanted him to go straight to the NBA. By all accounts his father is a bit of a liability and a bit mad.
