Whoo, yeah, ah, I wear, I wear my DMX goggles, yeah. I mean, this is, like, the why is that? DMX, no, but it's like a guy. This is Malibu's Most Wanted. That's what this guy sounds like.

Eric Readinger  0:27  
Yeah, maybe I don't know. He's not real. So can to be whatever you want him to be in your mind,

Law Smith  0:32  
so he is. So I'm right, yes, you're right. I'm gonna do this like a chick, yeah, see, I'm right,

Eric Readinger  0:36  
right, because I can't be proven wrong. I'm right.

Law Smith  0:40  
I was telling a friend, it made me underthink, like dudes, it's much, much better

Eric Readinger  0:46  
life. Uh huh, yeah, not everything you think is right.

Law Smith  0:52  
Well before this turns into no man from

Eric Readinger  0:55  
your children's club.

Law Smith  0:58  
You know, we can only call that shit out because we empathize with that play. Welcome to ROI podcast, because this is the number one comedy business podcast in the world. Sometimes we talk about emo stuff like

Eric Readinger  1:12  
that. Oh yeah. Are we gonna get into it? Nah.

Law Smith  1:15

Law Smith  1:28  
it up the floor in the studio, fix it in post. We got some tools. Well, hey, man, we should tell everybody, because I like giving resources out. I'm the Suze Orman of digital resources. That's what I want to be. What? Yeah, Adobe has a podcast Audio Enhancer. It'll take out background noise. It'll take out we have a little buzz I could hear right now that we had two episodes ago or an episode ago that it took outably your headphone. No, when I listened to it later. One of the previous episodes we

Law Smith  2:06  
I'm just saying, if you have audio you need to clean up. You can, it's for podcasts, they say. But you could probably use it. If you had audio you needed to clean up, like in a loud room or a conference or, you know, any kind of meeting or something, you can right?
