What's up everybody? You hear that? That's clear isn't it? That sounds good doesn't it right there? That's nice crystal clear audio. Okay. Now I have to admit I failed.

It takes a big man for you to admit that. It does. Big man for you to admit that. Yes. I failed. I had an idea and I thought it would change

podcasting forever and an innovation I thought that was necessary and I promise you will happen in

podcasting in the future. We just got there too quick. We got there before the technology would allow it.

What we tried to do is remove what I thought was the most cumbersome part of a podcast which are these big microphone the big mic arms. Okay.

Some of you guys are watching this right now on YouTube. You can see him. We have these mic arms. We have the microphone. The table kind of looks like a spider.

It's not the most beautiful thing. You have a gorgeous studio that we built out. Thanks to so many people who made this happen.

I could go through the whole list but we'd be here forever. I'll do it anyway because now I feel like it's dead.

Some of them are here. I got Bobby there in the back. I got a shout out my boy Marco who actually laid the groundwork and built out this whole space to start with.

I forgot about him before my bed. Now. I wanted to get rid of the microphone with a podcast. So we had this tile. You guys couldn't see.

But essentially it was a tile at home from a ceiling and it had these nodes that would automatically find the people during the room and then listen to them.

Record their volume automatically. It was unbelievable and the goal with it was to have a guest walk into the room start talking to him casually.

He doesn't even know they were recording and he goes so when we're going to start recording I go buddy. We've already been recording. Okay.

I thought it would change podcasts and forever. I thought it would make it just this conversation.

Reality was the audio wasn't good enough. Sound a little tinny. We tried to work it. We flew Bobby back up. We tried to work even more.

And nothing right now compares to these microphones. Now I promise you we're going to do something to these microphones to make them purposeful.

We will change the game in that regard. And one day.

Podcasting will get to the point where there's no microphones at all and that's going to be pretty cool and we know that we are on the right thing.

But what was most important to me and I made a big business mistake and I realized this is that.

I cared about my competition, not my consumer. And the leg up that I've had in any field that I've been in, especially comedy and podcasting my life is I always cared about the consumer.

Right. Like why to make the clips? Because I was like, oh, people don't want to watch an hour or something. I don't know. They want to watch something small. Give them something.

You know, tiny something that is like a little taste, right. A little nugget that they can just chew on and then eventually we get more to it.
