Technical Difficulties and Remote Production Setup
Production issues affect the remote broadcast from Bonaire as the connection fluctuates at 400 kilobits. Adjustments to the Skype settings and the implementation of a noise gate are discussed to improve audio quality. The hosts acknowledge the informal nature of remote location shows and the lack of a standard snappy opening.

00:00 ...word here. Okay, that's working good. Uh anyone out there uh listening to us on the stream please make sure we have a backup recording because you never know! A small production notice here... Zip-da-da-dah! You hear the fat lady John? Do I hear what? Do you hear the fat bitch? Yeah it was playing my slide whistle. Okay yeah I heard ya. Maybe you're just doing that of your own accord i don't know. I'm crazy Hell yeah. Ha ha, haaa-ha! Uh... So once again we're at about 400 kilobits up and 400 kilobits down Yeah well I can barely hear you breaking up constantly You know what? You don't need to hear me. I have nothing important to say. You know people keep telling- Whoa People keep telling us there's something special We have to do with like locking some port down or something on Skype when we do this And I never really understand what i'm supposed to do
01:15 People need to give you step-by-step. Yeah, well I can't really jack into this router here that so if they have to close some ports here That's just not possible Anyway it is what it is yeah You got enough bandwidth It should be better no I don't really have enough bandwidth you only need 15 kilobits on a Skype Well it also depends on the Cinco de Mayo shit missed it You distracted me
01:57 Good it also depends on the the number of hops and stuff like that Did you listen to the last show yeah, I listened in the last show yeah, oh No. I was on it, I was on the last show Yes! I remember that part...I'm just wondering because at the near the second half of the show i enabled the noise gate because there was no more wind and I thought it sounds better when you don't hear the background when its just us Just wondering if you had an opinion Okay But wont make any difference now will it? It doesn't sound like he's gonna make a lot of difference Right
03:08 I like it where half the chat room says they're sparking up a bowl, and the other half says they just took some magic mushrooms. People get really ready for the show don't they? That's pretty cool! Yeah just forget to donate that's the problem
03:50 No loving today. For those of you expecting to hear a snappy opening on the show, this is one of those remote location shows so we just start recording somewhere during Le Bich Fat and you just have to live with it sometimes people like that... So this is what you're normally missing. Whoa! Save the cargo Captain Banes! This is what you're normally missing during the pre-stream of the program Yes, QWERTY indeed. I know that the listeners can't afford to donate because they're spending it all on LSD. I'm quite aware It's okay. I assume...
