That is the most startling ring in the world. God bless. It's nighttime. I don't have the lights in the room on because that's the way I like it. And all of a sudden, do, do, do at like a billion decibels. It's not your fault. You're just doing what you need to do. But holy God, it makes me jump six feet every time.

I have the same problem, but in reverse, because since we last spoke, I got the 250-oam

770s. Oh, yeah. Oh. Just, and I was trying them out to see if my things can drive them, and they can.

They can drive them loud enough to do podcasting, but you do have to crank up the volume. So if you

forget that you did that and then unplug that stuff and your volume's close to max,

everything is very startling.

I'm not using them today, though, because the pads that come with them are not good.

Well, I don't mind them.

I mean, you do you.

If they don't work for you, that's fine.

But I don't think they're so bad. I mean, mine feels so like, I'm like, have these been sitting in the box for a long time?

They're like stale, like crackers. All right? They're just kind of like, I don't know.

I feel like I knew this going in, but like they're circular, right? Nothing on the side of my head is the appropriate shape to go into a circle.

So they apply pressure in some weird places.

Anyway, I have the good pads coming.

So once they arrive, I will swap them out.

But I'm still using the old faithful for this podcast.

That's fair.

So I'm curious.

Casey, you mentioned that you podcast in the dark.

In a manner of speaking, yes.

The lights in the room are not on.
