(00:13):
Got my beer. I'm ready togo. I got my wine with ice
in it, like like a heathen. It's called slap fight. That's what
might just turn into. Well that'swhat we had last time, right,
we keep talking about which I wouldlike to add, what even cares about
already? This week it's already likeit's already like no one gives this ship,
(00:39):
No one cares. Everybody's sick ofit, no one cares. It's
been four whole days. We're ontosomething else now. Oh man, but
did you hear about our boys overat LIBS and what happened? Oh,
they're in trouble again. They justfroze all their assets and then their shareholders
can like, well, they didn'tfreeze all that on that. Let me
(01:00):
just reward that. Let me notget sued. That is not at all
what happened. They did something andtheir shareholders are not allowed to sell their
shares, so let me just yeah, right, my bad, libson.
But they didn't they fail to paysomething or something like that. I can't
remember. Hold on, I putI talked to shit on lips on LinkedIn.
(01:21):
I'm sure I can. I'm sureI could find that because I don't
post on LinkedIn very often. Butyou know, when Lipsy gets in trouble,
you gotta seize the day. Youknow what I'm saying. You gotta
get in on it um. AndI was like, hey, Brian,
can you believe this? And he'slike, well, I'm still hopeful.
I'm like, you're you're such agood I am not as hopeful. Okay,
(01:47):
here we go. Podcast host Libsonhas been delinquent when with its financial
filings. According to the SEC,it's kind of a big deal yea,
which is ordered proceedings against the company. This may mean that Libson acknowledges that
stock in the company may not beable to be treated. The company said
it's working closely with its external council, independent auditors, and tax experts as
(02:12):
to properly as practical, finalize andfile the Outstanding and Exchange Act reports and
any reports that become due subsequently.How does that happen, big, big,
publicly treated company like that, Whenyou're half your investors are in Chinese
prison for Ponzi's game, I wouldimagine it's not that difficult. But yeah,
(02:38):
they just can't stay out of trouble. Man. I love it.
I know I shouldn't love it,but I do. I love it.
Every time they get in trouble,I love it. I'm sure they're lovely
people, but like, come on, guys, come on, what are
you doing? And they just rolledout their new their new skin, their
new user interface, and like it'scausing all kinds of problems. Everybody's reverting
(02:59):
to the old verse because it's somehow, somehow the old version is still better
than the new. Well, thenew one is, like it's easier to
use, just publishing episodes and stuff, because I have it for a couple
of my clients, um, andthat the problem is there's a lot of
features that they haven't poured it overto the new interface, so you still
(03:20):
have to go to the old interfaceto like set up destinations, to do
like any advanced feature stuff. Andthe big complaint I've heard too is that
the stats, like the analytics page, it's it's it is really dumbed down,
like it's it is a nicer lookingread out, but there's less information
there. Interesting. I'm hearing alot of people complain about episode names and
(03:45):
like them putting the title numbers inand taking title numbers out, and I
haven't heard that, but that's that'snot a surprising to me. You know,
nothing surprises me anymore. How aboutyou, Adam, You don't look
particularly shocked and amazed over there.This goes beyond the microphone, So I
don't I know nothing of of whatare you talking about? Because beyond gears
(04:09):
so to speaking in microphones. Imailed a microphone to a client and then
I just saw on the podcast thathe's using it like this, good things.
So many videos I have to make, I like, I still haven't
made the video with all the cheapmics. Why do people And that's one
(04:33):
that I because I saw somebody onTwitter doing the same damn thing. They
it's this, it's not here,but you know the one microphone they don't
use that way. Yeah, theyall use it the way, the wrong
way right now. Yeah, SoI'm that's another video I have on the
list that I want to do,of all the millions of videos speaking in
(04:59):
speaking into the proper side of yourmicrophone, right Hi, this is better
rejection than my tender profile. Thisisn't nothing's getting through here. You're saying,
oh man, yeah, wello thatgood? Huh? That good?
(05:29):
So what do we what do we? What are we fighting? About this
week. Guys. Nothing. Idon't want to fight anymore. Guys,
can't we just go actually fighting?You guys are doing podcasts stuff. I'm
thinking gears. So here's what I'mthinking. Okay, how are people's doing?
How are people creating podcasts today?Because I've lately seen several people popular,
(05:49):
very popular podcasters, YouTube podcasters,podcasters that are recording the audio just
straight into their phones as like andlike audio recordings, like using the notes
app or whatever, and then sendingthat in thoughts to an editor or just
like posting this like. That's howpeople are just doing. That's what anchor
(06:13):
wants you to do. That's whatthey're doing with their audio. Someone else
is shooting video on their phone yeaor something, and they just basically just
hold it like this and they justtalk. That's because they they all think
that they're what's his name from ClickFunnels, Russell Brunson, Oh does he
do that? M Bill Burr's podcast. They probably have like a shore MV
(06:35):
eighty eight, plug it into theirphone with a windscreen on it, and
they just talking to it like this. That would be a lot better.
That would be a lot better forsure, especially if you use the Motive
app, which records it in wavesinstead of MP four. Here's a hot
take for you. The Shure MVeighty eight does not work with the Riverside
(07:00):
right, because yeah, in anyUSB mic in the phone does not work
because just like with Clubhouse that wetalked about before, you have to have
like a phone device, so aBluetooth headset which does not sound good,
or something plugged in via t rrslike a Roadcaster pro or whatever. So
(07:21):
it's it's the same thing applies toClubhouse and Twitter spaces for that matter.
Yeah, not cool, complicated.Yeah, And I think that's an Apple.
I think it's an Apple lockdown thing. I don't think it's Riverside's fault.
I think they would easily enable that. Oh no, I'd much other
blame Riverside understand. No, Well, we just ordered some equipment because a
(07:43):
client was like trying to record thebest and so I said, well,
what's the best thing we can pluginto his iPhone? He's got better video
now, and so he bought thisMB eighty eight and then it didn't actually
work. I'm sorry I could havetold you that before. Well, but
I'm even seeing people use them likethere'll be three people in the same space.
(08:05):
Instead of having microphones, they havephones. I've done that before in
a pinch with one of my formerclients. There were five people in a
room and they each use their ownphones, and they they tried to do
the whole clap thing because she usedto do TV stuff and she instead of
just having one person clap, shetried to have everybody clap and it was
(08:26):
like okay, one, two,three, And it was like, I'm
like, that doesn't I mean watchingpeople dance at a strange cheese show.
But I mean it worked. Youknow. It was not ideal, but
better than one iPhone recording five people. Fair, take what I can get.
(08:48):
Sometimes it's always visual of like fivepeople trying to clap at the same
time right now with the iPhone intheir hands. Super funny to me right
now, like wait no, andthey're go on one, on on zero,
and they're all very white people,so they had no rhythm either.
So like when she counted down,it was like, yeah, no offense
(09:11):
to white people. Well they're everywhere. We can't help ourselves. Yeah.
I mean, it's been it's beena crazy week. There's a lot going
on in the podcast world. There'syou know, new mergers acquisitions, you
know, heartcast or I hardcasts.iHeartRadio is number one in podcasting according to
(09:33):
the latest report again, which likeevery few months there's a new report and
like somehow they're the winners, butlike no one, you know, I
don't know, I don't is thistrue? Is this not true? I
think among all of the high dollartracking platforms it's true because I Heart participates
in all of the high dollar trackingplatforms for ads and stuff, because that's
(09:56):
all they can. That's all they'retracking, is like the shows that participant,
that are part of their system,that have their tracking bots attached to
their shows. So of course IHeart's gonna win all of them because they're
they participate in all of them.They pay out big money for all that
stuff, and I don't know ifit's I hope it's for more than just
the bragging rights. They spend allthat money on all these trackers. Yeah,
(10:20):
I don't know. Right well,you kind of gotta wonder does I
Heart have any of their own bighits or is it do like publishing houses
that they've purchased. I have noidea. I don't know. Yeah,
I just volume game. Yeah,for for for that level, it is
volume game. Yeah, Joe Rogan'snumber one podcaster or number one share of
(10:46):
her yep, and he will befor a long time. Well. Yeah,
this last couple of weeks didn't hurthis listenership, that's for sure.
Yeah, I mean he probably holdpeople are like, who's this guy?
Yeah, it more just hurt otherincillary Spotify subscriptions and stuff like it's people.
(11:07):
I know a lot of people thatjump ship because of everything. But
yeah, they reported their numbers wereway down, like you know, thoughts
and lots and and didn't their stockgo like down twenty four percent or something
or maybe not that much. I'mjust saying, I'm getting closer to my
twenty year twenty one prediction every day. Man, So I'm watch it burn
(11:28):
out, you know what I'm saying. Watching we all need to start eating
more mushrooms so we know what's comingnext, all right, exactly. That's
the secrets of my success. It'slike a better idea every day. Don't
tell dad works for Joe Rogan too, right, He's on the I mean
for real, seriously, though,I'm just glad nobody had a microphone in
(11:48):
front of me for the last fifteenyears because if we done, not only
would I be canceled, but peoplewould think I was like lunatic for real.
I think the world especially can meatmore Molly in it? No,
because then I'll be canceled link JoeRogan Well, and you know, for
(12:09):
years, part of Joe Roggins's wholestick was like they would get as high
as they possibly could before they startedrecording. So, I am, I
can only imagine the mountains of dumbshit that dude is said over the years.
Honestly, I probably doesn't remember howthat was the whole I am guarantee
doesn't because they would eat like ridiculousamounts of edibles and be like completely out
of their gourd, and like,yeah, um, who knows, man,
(12:31):
who knows. But yeah, it'sbeen it's been pretty busy in the
podcast world. You know, businessis starting to pick up. February is
definitely the new January, that's forsure, because Lord, how about you,
Adam, Are you saying an uptickin retail sales and things? I
am, actually it's interesting. Ithas kind of picked up a little bit.
(12:54):
What it what's the number one podcastpiece of equipment? That people are
buying right now. Other than mebuying that, I'm seeing roadcasters people starting
to buy. You got them backin stock the ship came in. Yeah,
you know, there's some other onesout there, and people started to
care a lot less for those morerecently, once the roadcasters were available again.
(13:20):
Yeah, they kind of set thebar, didn't they for that type
of interface. I have a hardcase to make that to say you should
get anything else. Yeah, Like, the only other one that I can
honestly say to go get is theZoom one, the P eight if you
need more, Yeah, that's it. Though, not about the task.
(13:41):
Am You don't think that's a solidrunner? No? And I've been telling
them, I said, you madethe same thing, which is great,
it's a very cool thing, butno one cares enough. Who the hell
is going to spend the same moneyon the same thing for something that nobody's
talking ab other one? Yeah,if it's if you can buy a mo
like a mas Roti, or youcan buy like a Honda made to look
(14:05):
like a mas Riti in the sameprice, just a complete different brand,
just a different Italian name brand you'venever heard of before. You'd be like,
well, how about this Tesla,a Tesla versus a Polaris because you're
gonna buy a Tesla. Yeah,because everybody's talking about Tesla one and better
track record. Brother. But butanyway, you get the point. It's
(14:28):
like, why would I can't.I can't say, hey, yeah,
you should totally get this task inone because because Marcus says so, because
it's the exact same nobody does whatthey say. I literally couldn't do that.
Yeah, told you buy said Icannot tell you to buy this one
in my heart of hearts for anyother reason. Then it's the other one.
(14:50):
If I wasn't at risk of gettingdivorced from this, I would buy
both of those and do it.Parison will but it won't matter. It
won't matter because it's the end ofit. They're the same thing. I
will decide, thank you very much. That's what I want to matter,
(15:15):
because it's not gonna sound so drasticallydifferent than anyone's gonna care. It may
to me, but not like likeyou said, nobody's not the average listener,
right, because honestly, I don'tlike the way the preamps sound in
the roadcaster. No one does.But that's not important. It is though
(15:39):
it's just yes, it is.Sorry. I know I know it is
too, I know in my soulthat it is, but it's not.
It's kind of like like, somy dad is visiting, acceptable, right,
that's the bar, right, Sorry, it's like, my dad's visiting,
right. He likes to drink wine. And my neighbor downstairs, Cheryl
(16:02):
is on the first horse. Shelikes to drink wine. So I was
like, oh, well, youknow, we'll have Cheryl come up.
And so Dad like goes his greatlegs to pick out like a couple bottles
of wine and Cheryl sits down andit's like, well, I grab me
some ice and like plump, howabout my dad's gonna have a heart attack.
Yeah, he's like, oh thesubtle, nuanced notes of that.
And she's like, kirk punk youlike it is too hot Costa Rica to
(16:27):
not be putting wine ice in yourwine, Like that's just red and one
and someone doing it right. Though, here's someone doing it right. And
I'm a little I'm a little mythedby the launch of this because um,
they're pretty bad kidding the information outthere because I found it today too.
But Universal Audio came out with amicrophone today they did Hot News exclusively s
(16:52):
D one. Okay, you bettertake a look at this. Yeah,
let me look at this, andwe're we're all frantically. I just found
out about it literally before I leftwork. Slightly Universe Audio sight livid a
little upsets or the day press release, huh, but also standardy cool looking,
very familiar looking. It exactly likethe SM seven B on the every
(17:19):
level, except it's white and it'seven cooler. And I would totally buy
it because it's and it's one hundreddollars less. But does it sound and
it's the same microphone essentially? Right? They don't. I mean, Universal
Audio doesn't make sucky stuff. It'strue. It's true. They make good
(17:40):
stuff. I like the way theyhave this the mic on the stand on
the home page of their website.Did they did it? They did a
promotion with Sure at the end oflast year, which was bundling in SM
seven with their interfaces. Oh andwon if there was some kind of problem
(18:03):
that developed with that relationship they learnYeah, they just said, oh wow,
this sells well. Let us letus now make our own for less.
Yeah. Oh it's what it evensays. Holy shit, it says
(18:23):
The SD one also comes equipped withan internal shock mount and built in windscreen.
It does seem like a flexible dynamicmicrophone and also one that follows in
the steps of Sure classics like theSM seven B. Wow, and newer
s M n V seven surely findits place in the ua ecosystem. Where
(18:45):
are you reading this blatant on theirwebsite? Bro? Wow, I know
that's fucking ballsy. They mentioned thisthe SM seven B and the MV seven.
I put it in the chat theyreally they did. That's hardcore.
Well, I can't wait the stepsand Sure classics like the s M seven
(19:07):
B and the newer m D seven. There's no customer reviews yet. I
wonder why it just came out.I know, I'm just kidding. Anger,
stop it, Jesus married now everybodyjust stopped listening to the show.
(19:32):
Adam, thanks a lot, thatwhole part out. Yeah, I have
to fix that shit. Man,not gonna what you got. Just delete
it, just I just if everyone'swondering what you just missed, and delete
it. It's fine. That's avalid I let my rage out somewhere.
(19:52):
But that's pretty crazy that they putthat on there, Like, aren't they
everything getting sued. I wonder becausethey made it different enough. So here's
I'm very curious, Like I can'twait until Bandrew Scott's review from Podcastage because
he does like the tap bump testand stuff. And this MIC's shock mount
is like no other, just likethem fifty eight. They have a patent
(20:15):
on this and that's why no othermicrophone has the bump resistance when you tap
on it. And I wonder ifthey're paying license for their shock mount.
Probably not, but I guarantee youit's probably not going to be as good
as them seven B when it comesto bumping. We'll see how it sounds,
(20:36):
though, I will be well,there you have it. Yeah,
big news. You think this needsa cloudlifter on the roadcast? I doubt
it. Any dynamic mic that comesout today that needs of a cloudlifter is
(20:57):
worthless. Like this is so theSM seven bis a cloudlifter on but it
was designed in the sixties or seventies. Yeah, it's a class exactly a
better microphone. Then well, justbecause this nude doesn't make it better exactly.
Well, if it doesn't need acloudlift, that doesn't make it better
(21:18):
either. An NBA seven isn't betterthan a seven. Sorry, I totally
drifted off, Mike Dare, I'mso bad this. An MB seven isn't
necessarily better than an SM seven.It's just different, that's right. Just
because nude doesn't make it better.Molley, I feel like you're my mom
just came home from the first dayof high school and you're like, I
use my MB seven ugly. Doesn'tit mean people will? What else?
(21:47):
What else we got? That mighthave been the peak of the empisode.
There, that's the heat, man, I brought it. I saved that
for last Well, I brought theheat. I'm gonna I'm gonna bring my
slap fight back up on screen againand bring up another controversy. Oh yeah,
um, did you guys see BrianBarletta his tweet about Riverside this past
(22:11):
week? Oh? I did,Yeah, I did. They He had
a screenshot of an ad campaign thatsays, the title of ad campaign is
better than squad cast talk about likewhat we were just talking about with UA
naming. Sure, it's the samething, except they're actually that's not good
(22:37):
business, guys, it's real.It's not really my method. But nobody
gave a shit when they said theywere better than Zoom and that was their
entire ACA campaign for the first eightmonths of their whole fucking Zoom is not
a direct competitor to Riverside, whereassquad cast is splitting hairs. I think
it was a dugy move. ButI'm just saying that's like kind of their
whole marketing program. Yeah, butI've been I've had, actually had a
(23:02):
couple of glitches, and I've beenhearing about more glitches and this ad campaign
was like the final straw for methat broke the camel's backs. I'm trying
boom Caster starting this. They area new company and I am very impressed.
Still, thank you and appreciate youvery sid Well. They're not doing
anything for us. Molly pays outthe ass for their service for all.
(23:29):
Thank you, thank you, Thanksfor giving Molly good deal with thanks.
Thanks. Don't don't turn us off. Yeah, I don't know. I'm
not willing to switch because we haveway too many studios. It would not
boom Caster would not work for youbecause it's not It doesn't have all the
studio options and all that stuff thatyou do for all your client. We
have studios right that that boom casteris a very small company. It works
(23:52):
great for me, which I dothis stuff myself. I don't have a
ton of clients. I don't havea team. It's just so anyway I
could dig it. Yeah, Idon't know. I don't know. I
mean, you know, nobody's toobig to fail. No, definitely not,
So we'll see. It's I likethe competition though, I mean I
(24:15):
don't like when people do do shehad campaigns and doesn't make me feel good
about using a service when they're they'renot being respectful of their competitors. But
I do like that there's competition andRiverside still has the best price period for
doing video streams, and it isI haven't had bad experience with the glitches
(24:41):
as other people have had and andhonestly most of the times I have had
glitches because of chrome issues. Soyeah, well you know, it'll be
interesting to see if it happens.Yeah. I didn't think that was a
particularly like smart or nice thing todo, but it was literally what their
whole advertising campaign was. Were betterthan Zoom. They even have a compared
(25:04):
they remember their original ad was asplit screen on Zoom and them, so
it's probably they were like leaning intothat, but yeah, not really my
job, because you know, theuniverse is a very small place, you
know, And like, for example, for example, my dad is visiting
me in Costa Rica and he getshere and it's like surface Pro two or
(25:26):
some archaic device right won't connect tothe monitor that I have for him,
and so let me try to gethim a new one. And I'm trying
to just like connect. I'm tryingto get this chord and do the So
I posted this WhatsApp group local group, and I say, hey, does
anybody have you know an HDMI toUSB? And so some of this guy
messages me and he says, areyou sure that's the cord you're looking for?
(25:48):
And I was like yes, man, don't man explain me. I
got super defensive. I know thatmight be hard for us to wrap your
brain around, but get and soso anyway, he's like chatting me up
and I was like, well,actually it's not this computer is not going
to connect. I think I needto get him a new one. And
he's like, well, i'll beback Saturday if you want me to bring
(26:10):
me anything. And I was like, oh, you're not here now,
and he's like no, I'm inthe United States, but I'm coming back
on Saturday, and I was like, oh, yeah, actually, can
I just like Amazon pro you withthis surface pro eight and you can bring
it? And he's like, yeah, it probably sends me. He's a
dress, he's from DC Heath Courts, And so the universe is that small
(26:33):
that I literally texted a WhatsApp groupwith like fifty fucking people in Costa Rica
about a fucking usbt HDMI chord andthen you know the end of those stories
is dude from DC who lives twoblocks from here, you know, half
of the year, brought me thething. And Jason Santos like Bike Curry,
you know what I mean. Like, it's such just the podcast industry
is even smaller, and so theyare definitely gonna be like staying across the
(27:00):
table from those squad ass guys inthe next like four months, and it's
gonna be hello fucking AWFOD and Ikind of want to be there, you
know what I mean, Like,oh, how about four weeks at podcast
evolutions? Yeah exactly, Like whatare you guys thinking like that? Yeah?
Probably not it, you know whatI mean? Like, oh man,
(27:22):
yeah, whatever I mean, Italk about people in this industry all
the time, right before events.But whatever, I'm not afraid to see
you know what I mean. Idon't feel bad about it, right,
I'm yeah, but um yeah,what a hot mess, man, What
a hot mess. But yeah,a small world. It's a good reminder
you should never be a complete asshole, right, you should reel it in
(27:42):
words matter and the corollas on firea little bit. You're you're you're getting
closer and closer to right Molly,I mean, And then next week we're
going to find out how much closerMolly is to being absolutely correct about all
for predict Yes, well, whatwas the other one? I should come
(28:03):
up with some I should come upwith more, like all of us win
the lottery. Oh that would begood, easy, one step at a
time, one of us win thelottery, split it. Okay, Yeah,
well someone's gonna have to start playing. I know that for sure.
That's how word I got you.Next time it's a billy I got you.
I mean, right on, man, So listen, I'm going to
(28:25):
close on around the house in likea couple of weeks. So we're gonna
have to plan on the podcast ClubLive, Podcast Club Live. Yes,
I'm there. You have to namethe facility though, so we can say
at the oh, at the don'trush into it, don't rush into it.
Yeah, I know when we dropthis, when we drop it,
(28:45):
it's gotta be hot. It's hothard podcast. What I'm ending the episode
right now. It's gonna be ashot as the super Bowl? Wait?
Wait, wait, hold on,we didn't talk about the super Bowl?
Hold up? Who? Hold thatwas good? Um? Who did you?
Guys almost said vote for who didyou root for? This halftime show?
(29:08):
It was awesome? Yeah, Iheard that. That was the only
thing I kind of tuned in for. I went to a party on the
beach, a super Bowl party onthe beach, and I managed to not
watch a single second of football.That's awesome. Did you have wings?
Yeah? I feel like that's Idon't want to brag, but it wasn't
(29:30):
easy. Luckily, somebody there hadadult brownies and weed brownies ran and I
was like, man, I didnot peg them for cool people. But
turns out they were so that thenew Super Bowl snack. Yeah, and
all the people that are super highthat they were super mad. That Snoop
gotta high. I'm like, what, he's always high? I think that's
(29:59):
hilarious. That's awesome, I think. And they told him do you know
the whole story behind like all ofit? Like they told Eminem that he
wasn't allowed to kneel until he did, or he said that none of them
were allowed to kneels, and hedid. And then they told Snoopy couldn't
wear a blue handkerchief in his backpocket, so he wore the whole fucking
out of it. And then somebodyelse they told him, Oh, they
(30:21):
told Dre he couldn't do the lineabout I still don't love the police or
whatever, and he did it anyway, We're gonna, you know, yeah,
like shut it down, shut itlike Jethro Records. Yeah, I
mean, come on, man,you can't tell all these people what to
do. But how cool is that? Man? There are no wardrobe malfunctions.
So all my thirty and over peoplewere like, yeah, that was
(30:45):
hot, epic, that set waskick ass, too simple. Yeah,
but you know not, I haven'twatched it yet. What what I'm gonna
watch it? Molly and this shownow, I watch the cynical Man.
If you if you guys hadn't pickedup on this, you know everything that
(31:06):
everybody likes and I'm just like,Nope, don't like it. I'm don't
even know why until your okay,I will watch you. I'll be back
