15 Responses to “IJHATT Episode #39 Periwinkle’s Friend or The Great Audio Experiment”
I tried to post longer responses a couple of times and both times my computer f’ed up. So I think I’m doomed never to get my thoughts out about this episode.
But, suffice it to say that I laughed, and that I agree with you guys, except where I don’t, and that thing IS crazy, and all that.
Oh! This is true. I had a dream last night that I was reading the ijhatt forum. Kyle mentioned on it that he had two tickets to the Pixies, and Marlykins said she wanted the other one, and you guys decided to meet up at the Pixies concert.
I only registered to vote at 26 years old so that I could vote yes for medical marijuana in Michigan.
The eye doctor prescribed sunglasses for me when I was a kid because I had frequent migraines from light sensitive vision. Opening my eyes in the morning was torture if the lights were on. All of this was cured in my teenage years when I discovered the happy herb.
You guys should really turn the mic on whenever you pick up the phone.
I’m with you on the phone thing. As someone who works in a call center, though, I’m less likely to give on a fee waiver/whatever if a customer’s a dick. It just makes me stubborn. But maybe I’m the exception. But yeah: especially with men who use my first name ten times, I’m not likely to help. And we do have some autonomy.

Gary, you’re such a one-issue voter!

Honestly, normally I’m with you on this. If you’re being a total asshole, what’s my incentive to help you? Unfortunately, we [i]do[/i] seem to be the exception. As far as I can tell, being a dick is usually the way to go.
Oh, and repeatedly using the guy’s name was definitely intentional. Again, if it were me I’d just find it annoying and wait for the asshole to tire themselves out, but good ol’ Carlos must’ve liked the abuse.
*Mics-Ha, Ha! The free mic DOES sound better, in my opinion!!
*Flying Cars-I feel betrayed! NASA came to my middle school when I was in 4th grade and told me that when I graduated high school I would have a flying car. I’ve been out for 2.5 years and still NO FLYING CAR!!
*Immortality/brain upload-In the anime show “Ghost in the Shell,” most of the population has a cyberbrain ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyberbrain )and many have a full prosthetic bodies with their cyberbrain transfered into it, allowing for the possibility of immortality. Whenever your prosthetic gets worn out, you just get a new one and transfer your cyberbrain.
*Voting- For the last presidential election, both of my parents were going to vote for McCain/Palin because they believed that Obama was a terrorist. Honest to non-existent god, i am not kidding. My mom said “well his name sounds like Osama, his middle name is hussein, and i got an email with a picture of him turning his back to the flag during the pledge of allegiance so he must be a terrorist.” I was going to write in vote for Nadar (because i had just heard him speak at an environmental conference and thought that he was fucking brilliant) but my sister and i voted Obama just to cancel out both of my parents votes.
*stay up all night/ sleep all day- I am a night person!!!!! Once a week I do price changes at the grocery store that i work at. I work from 10pm-7am, and that is the best day of my week!! On a normal day I cannot go to sleep before 3am. I’ll lay in bed, tossing and turning, but i can’t physically go to sleep before 3. So i wake up and go to work in the morning and i’m a zombie. really don’t mess with me in the am, i will eat your brain!
*Girls and cold- I love the cold! No matter what the temp it is outside I always have my window open and a window fan on AND I always drive with my windows down. When I drive with my friends they make me roll my windows up and torn the heat on and I strip down to like a tank top and I’m still baking!!
John K: He was a close second for my vote (if it weren’t for my irrational mom) but i disagreed on a few of his energy ideas which is why i was going to (waste a) vote for Nadar. and ill do my best to breed an army of cold loving baby girls so that we can take over the world and kill all of the pussy ass bitches who get cold easily!!! (insert evil laughter) k? lol
… oh except Aldi, i guess she can live
Umm… did anyone else think this sounded horrible? Like, there was this constant, air-y, static-y echo through the WHOLE show?
I quickly brought up the episode before this, to make sure nothing happened to my computer’s speakers since I listened to that episode and this one… but the previous episode sounded perfect.
I mean, seriously, this sounded really, really bad. I was getting a headache and had to stop half-way through and finish up later.
Not saying the content was bad. Good episode. It’s just that the audio sounded horrible to me.
I don’t know. It’s definitely not perfect, but I thought it mostly sounded better. I think my mic in particular was a little sibilant, but I didn’t think it was all THAT bad. Anybody else with P Shoe on this one? If anybody knows anything about this sort of thing, feel free to make suggestions on how to make it sound better.
I didn’t think that it was THAT bad P Shoe! Although, as previously stated, I did think that Orion’s mic sounded better than yours Kyle. And i have no suggestions on how to improve the sound quality or functionality of the mics for i am technologically challenged. Sorry!

Gate it and compress it more, you can download some plugins if you don’t want to spend masses on it.
Didn’t notice much badness at all though, maybe it was just kyles voice. Will take a listen on some proper monitors when I get the chance though.
I don’t know, man. On my computer, it sounds like I’m listening to you through a cell phone. Y’know, like when the other person is talking, it sounds static-y, and when they stop talking, the static-y-ness stops? So, it was static-y voice, and static-y background that kept starting and stopping, which is why I got a headache.
The other episodes were just fine, like you guys were just sitting in the room with me.
I don’t know what to say really, except that it sounded about 10 billion times better than the other episodes.
Perfect sound forever!

Then I awoke. My cat’s staring at me.

Yeah, sadly you’re probably right. The squeaky wheel gets the oil and all that.
And your objections were legitimate–why pay for the service when the service often doesn’t work?

Cloudzy: there are legitimate reasons not to have voted for Obama, but your mom’s reasons are nuts. (Me, I voted for him, and would do so again).
Thank God there’s a girl out there who doesn’t get cold too easily. You’re the next step in girl evolution!

It’s sounded clear as a bell to me since day one. I didn’t notice any difference in this episode.
