that's fine. That's fine. I mean, we can talk about all that stuff.

Let's talk about it. Okay.

What are we going now? Are we starting?

I thought you were doing your little warm-up thing.

What do you mean? What's the warm-up thing? Is that a...

Right before, right, right when I say, oh, that's something we can talk about you like pause for a second

you go uh huh huh which just kind of which which makes me which makes it really hard for me to edit

because you breathe and go you go okay welcome to the crunch and I don't why don't you tell me that

why don't you tell me that so that way I can make it more clean, okay?

Welcome to The Crunch.

And that's what you would call it. The Crunch It is your boy, Ethan. And I'm Patrick. And that's what you would call the cleanest intro that you've ever heard. That was a good job. That was a really good job. It's going to be really good to edit. It's, it was at a good volume. Sometimes I have to crank your volume. Sometimes I'm too loud. I listened. Oh, I didn't listen. I was driving with my team back. We had our team offsite in St. Louis this week. And they listened to the podcast on the way. And they're like, Ethan, is this fine if we listen? I'm like, yeah, sure, whatever. And I took notes. And I just noticed that I was much louder than you. And so I'm kind of, I'm sitting back from the microphone a little bit so to so as to not overpower my friend Patrick if that's

okay oh i i appreciate that yeah i mean anything for the for you i mean sometimes sometimes i have to

crank your volume towards the end of the episode because i what'll happen is i drift further and

further away from the microphone because I get more and more tired

and worn out and then I'm like laying down and still trying to podcast and I like lean up

every time I want to say something and then I just kind of drift away again. I think I think

normalization is what fixes that. I think that's what yeah I think that is the thing because

it should make your track and my track the same the same volume level. Yeah think that's what I need to do. I think that's what that yeah, I think that is the thing, because it should make your track and my track the same, the same volume level. Yeah.

But that's, is that what the people care about? Is, are the people, the people, the people have to care about the finer points of podcast editing. I know, or else they wouldn't listen. Or else they wouldn't listen to our podcast. Exactly. But I do have to say I am, I'm home now.

Are you still at school?

I am still at school. I finished my last assignment 12 hours ago and turned it in via

blackboard. It was an essay on Don Quixote.
