Ever wondered how we managed to produce nearly two seasons of our podcast without realizing our microphones were never properly set up? Tune in to this hilarious and eye-opening episode where we pull back the curtain on our biggest blunder to date. We thought we had our tech game on point, adjusting our microphones regularly and doing all the right things—only to find out we’ve been yelling into the surface we've been using this whole time. The realization hit us when we decided to add video to the mix, and oh boy, did it bring our obliviousness to light.

As we laugh at our past mistakes, we promise an exciting future with improved sound quality and a new venture into video content exclusively on YouTube. We’re also brainstorming ways to make our podcast page more interactive, with fun features like 3D puzzles, crosswords, and trivia. Despite our tech faux pas, we remain committed to enhancing your listening experience and building a vibrant community. Join us on this journey filled with laughs, lessons, and a whole lot of growth.

Speaker 1:

Socky Doobie. Our podcast sucks.

Speaker 2:

Eh sound.

Speaker 1:

The sound this entire time. For the last nine months I have been using it improperly.

Speaker 2:

With no real microphone.

Speaker 1:

No, microphone at all. We've been yelling into the surface that we're using to run this thing.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, and still yet adjusting the microphones regularly.

Speaker 1:

This will take out so much editing for me, and it's all because they had no idea that they weren't working.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, no idea. Yeah, it's going to sound so much better.

Speaker 1:

now we're going to sound like real freaking people.

Speaker 2:

Nine full months of recording with no microphones.

Speaker 1:

So to all of you out there that have actually listened to us and enjoy our show, I'm sorry we have sounded so terrible. We've done almost two seasons. We are halfway through the second season at this point and we look we're still building this podcast. That's what this whole thing is about. This is a podcast journey this is a learning lesson.

Speaker 2:

I thought we would learn this a little earlier in the go around, but you, you know.

Speaker 1:

We did not.

Speaker 2:

We did not until today.

Speaker 1:

And if it wasn't for trying to go video.

Speaker 2:

Probably would not have learned.

Speaker 1:

I never would have known.

Speaker 2:

Never.

Speaker 1:

No. So thank God for video. So stay tuned, because we're going to hit videos. They'll come out on YouTube. They're not going to be anywhere else but YouTube. So if you want to see us, you're going to have to go there. We're still going to have our podcast, which will be on the page, and we have to improve that page too. We've got to get people to go there and want to be there. We've got to have pop-up pictures, 3d puzzles, where you stare into it.

Speaker 2:

3d puzzles Okay.

Speaker 1:

You know how you cross your eyes and you can see spaceships. Yeah, yeah, we need that shit. Okay, crush your eyes and you can see like spaceships. Yeah, yeah, we need that shit. Okay, yep, and we're gonna have like a crosswords and trivia and shit like that on it. All right, I gotta build it. I don't know how, I mean, it took me this long to figure out I needed microphones. How long is it gonna take me to build that?

Speaker 2:

website. We did have microphones. They just weren't set up to work, I guess, through the computer. What kind of idiots are we?

Speaker 1:

for For nine months we've been sitting here yelling at the microphones, and it hasn't even been working.

Speaker 2:

I'm going to take out the we on that, because one person is primarily responsible for the recording and editing and setup of the computer and that would not be me and he found the sound effects. That's an epic fail.

Speaker 1:

That's the first time I got to use that. I'm excited. I have this whole soundboard I've never been able to use because I didn't know what the hell happened. This is what I feel about myself ow, yeah, probably. I'm an idiot. How did I not think to check that stuff, just to set the audio up?

Speaker 2:

I don't know. We actually spent a lot of time trying to get the sounds to work at one point too, and we just gave up and said, oh, they don't work.

Speaker 1:

And it was the most simplest mistake you could make.

Speaker 2:

Literally selecting a box.

Speaker 1:

It's like where's the milk? Yeah, it's right in front of you.

Speaker 2:

Uh-huh.

Speaker 1:

You know, had no idea that really blows my skirt up, tell you that.

Speaker 2:

For free.

Speaker 1:

That was horse shit absolute. Yeah, oh man well, we're up and running now we are up and running now and, uh, hopefully we just keep going. Man, I feel like such a dunce at least we told everybody the truth here I think once we go to video I'm gonna wear a dunce cap for the first two episodes.

Speaker 2:

Oh yeah.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, because it's only fair.

Speaker 2:

It's only fair.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, if I'm an idiot, I got to act like one.

Speaker 2:

Wow, wow. Of course you do act like one.

Speaker 1:

Look, I don't know what the hell I'm doing. I'm winging this as I go. Very true the sheer fact that we've had this amount of success we've actually had so far is crazy.

Speaker 2:

We've actually come a very long way. Because, I don't know what the hell I'm doing. I know.

Speaker 1:

I've gotten kicked off Facebook, I've been kicked off Instagram, I've been kicked off everything, because I don't know what the hell I'm doing and apparently I'm putting up like nude pictures and shit. No, I'm not doing that, but that's what they claim. It is Plus. I think it was hacked.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, your Facebook, I think, got hacked.

Speaker 1:

By some hacking pieces of shit.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, they tried to charge you a lot of money.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, fucking bastards. But here we are. We got a lot coming up. Now we are starting to hit the ground finally.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

Full. Nine months later, yeah, lot coming up. Now we were starting to hit the ground finally, yeah, full nine months later. Yeah, like they say, when you start a podcast, you really want to have a couple episodes in the hopper man. We got a couple episodes in the hopper, we got a lot.

Speaker 2:

In the hopper, we got a lot in the hopper, you know what.

Speaker 1:

Don't even worry about those. Stay tuned for the rest of them. They're gonna be good, but man it's. It's a nice day though today, because we figured this out yes, we did, and from here on in, we're gonna have so much more fun and it's just gonna come out so much better all right now to learn about regulating the sound.

Speaker 2:

So it sounds good right exactly we're not gonna sound like we're in a tin can anymore, hopefully we spent so much time trying to get those sounds right on the microphone too. That's why it's so crazy to think that they really did nothing.

Speaker 1:

My computer was recording us the entire time it did nothing. That's why the government can hear us.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, just the computer can hear us Just kidding, I'm just kidding with that one.

Speaker 1:

I want to see if we get, if all of a sudden, Censored again. Censored again and the computer runs out of space. But all right, guys, sorry for all that, look, sorry for the, the emails and the subscribing and the store and all that. Like I'm trying to put it all together and honestly I don't know what I'm doing. I'm trying to figure it out as I go. So bear with us. And, uh, if you are bearing with us, thank you so much because we appreciate it so go back, like and subscribe sakitumicom.

Speaker 1:

We're going to improve that website. We're going to improve that website. We're going to have a lot more in the store. I have a whole list here.

Speaker 2:

Did you see the list I have? Yes, I saw your list.

Speaker 1:

Of all my shirts, I'll give you one.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

Are you a Gideon? Has anybody really seen a Gideon?

Speaker 2:

I don't think so.

Speaker 1:
