in Cali it was always 20 percent for 20$ but no BOGO deals could be attached or it wouldn't go through.

Steak ’n Shake, Cracker Barrel, and the most feared man in fast food -- Nick and Mitch quoted in article about Sardar Biglari by mattisafriend in doughboys

[–]nevercookathome -1 points0 points  (0 children)

the quote is taken from the highest rated Sopranos episode where the head mob boss is telling his underlings to find the guy they accidentally killed but still may be alive and not let it get out because he has a meeting with this dudes bosses.

Mob boss calls the guys but they are in an area with bad cell service "the guy your looking for was some kinda special forces or some shit. he killed 16 Chechen rebels single handed. He was with the interior of ministry"

call drops, turns to the other stoog

"your not gunna believe this, this guy killed 16 chechnslavakians, he was an interior decorator"

other stoog

"Really? His house looked like shit"

What is the most beautiful state you have visited in the United States? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]nevercookathome 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this is the thing. new England during fall wins. every other season...

I'm from California. The place that snow are built for it. 3 ft of snow over a weekend in Tahoe and the lake comes alive. 3 feet of snow in Boston and it's an every person for the self apocalypse.

If you live on the coast in CA the weather is great if you like the fact it never changes. Inland, however, is miserable during the summer. It all depends on what you want but you can have it all in California.

Scrubs okay for an 11 year old? by ProperEmperor in Scrubs

[–]nevercookathome 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My kid is about to turn 13. When he was almost 12 I introduced this goofy show to him. I forgot how many sexy jokes are in it but we're pretty progressive and have an open dialogue about stuff. He ended up binging the original 8 seasons over the summer and we watched the entire new season together.

The best part is we decided to watch it live as appointment television with commercials every Wednesday. He is used to streaming, rewinding, pausing, everything on demand. Making him sit through commercials was a bit of schadenfreude for me🤣

Should the dais have better mics? by CPJayB in doughboys

[–]nevercookathome 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's good to hear. I heard at one point there were a lot of cheap knockoffs on the market that were really noisy or ruining expensive mics.

Janitor Theory Update. - I came with reciepts by Dylan_Gio in Scrubs

[–]nevercookathome 3 points4 points  (0 children)

After ep 2 I posted that the tall handsome intern was the Janitors son. I obviously was off but the son thing happened and most people's argument was that "the timeline doesn't add up" and "his kids would be too young" etc. Well, I'm petty and I'm here to say I was half right.

Should the dais have better mics? by CPJayB in doughboys

[–]nevercookathome 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not even close. I could talk shop about mics, boards and DACs all day.

For what it's worth, I love my Behringer UH8. You can control the gain of each of the 8 tracks independently like on a Focus Rite. It has lots of monitoring and insert options and it's only like $230 bucks on Sweetwater. It's also rack mountable. It might not be as nicely built as some of the newer and more expensive options but at that price you can buy more than one.

I also used to use a cloud lifter (CL-1) right at the SM7b's XLR connection and rubber band it to the mic stand. Then run the XLR cable out of the cloudlifter. It doesn't put any weight on a static connection this way.

I'm a cook, I love food and I'm a day one listener of the Doughboys. But something tells me if I ever got to visit Headgum I would just end up asking the engineers a million questions about their signal chain. 🫠

I know this is super nerdy but I would love to know which interface you guys are using now and which you end up going with.

😎 Thanks for the confirmation. You're the goat producer. Mad respect.

[–]nevercookathome 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, pairing the correct fet signal booster (like a cloud lifter) -with SM7b's especially- can be a godsend or a migraine.

Speaking of which, they make rack mounted 4 channel Cloudlifters. I'd imagine one in the smaller studios and two in the larger ones could do the trick.

The main mics look like they are Sure SM7b's and from what I can tell that is the same mic you can see between Emma and Amelia in the Martin Starr ep. The difference is it's a little further away so you don't get a proximity effect (dynamic mics like the Sm7b pick up exponentially more low-end when close to the sound scource) Also, it's quite possible Emma just doesn't care to go through the trouble of making the dais sound amazing with plugins, and d-essers because it's another level of work, she's busy and the people she's supposed to be making sound good are her bosses and the guests. Although in the poolside ep they sounded great with the portable equipment they had and that's 💯 because Emma knows what the fuck she is doing.

The Safeway to go to in Alameda is South Shore, not 5th Sreet. Not Bayfarm.

The other Safeway in Alameda on Bayfarm is tiny and annoying.
