In a marathon session — exceeded in length and vapidity only by the Zoom meeting you’ve had three times this week with your boss — the men of Right Angle hatch their diabolical schemes for this week’s shows.
If you’re a Member, then you’ve had a hand in this, so complaints only reflect unfavorably upon you.
Thank you,
The Management

So the Catholic churches have to serve less than 51% wine in order to stay alive…?
Steve. Megahertz? For refresh rates? It’s just HZ brah. :p
Bill. USB is a digital protocol. Cable length doesn’t attenuate input gain. With digital, usually it either works, or it doesn’t, or when it’s close to the edge, you get “packet loss” which gives a very distinctive digital breakup (everyone who uses a cell phone has heard this).
It’s more likely your windows settings. Windows likes to nanny the mic settings and change gain levels and stuff for things like echo cancellation, and a bunch of other “features”. Make sure they’re turned off. Go through all the mic input settings and turn off all that crap. Especially “allow windows to adjust input levels” (or something to that effect).
The long cable was definitely the problem, usb being digital has nothing to do with the issue. The issue is pushing the electrons over the distance. Any usb cable longer than about 6ft will have problems because of the low power being transmitted. USB cable specifications list the limits at about 5 meters (usb 2.0) or 3 meters (usb 3.0) but for real world applications 6ft is all you can expect to have reliably without using a repeater of some kind.
The point is that the failure mode of a USB cable isn’t lower volume. It’s broken or audio, or no connection at all.
Any cable over the specified length would be some sort of repeater anyway. I doubt bill was running a 15′ cable (or even a 9′ cable) that wasn’t an active USB cable (I have three of those running from my game/home theater PC to USB hubs near my couch).
As I said, if the cable worked at all, or didn’t produce staccato regular digital breakup, then it was more than likely windows nannying the sound settings, which it definitely does if some of the stock features are turned on. I’ve seen this 1000 times and helped people fix it.
Greetings gentlemen. I would like to see each of you in your own hand made crime fighting superhero outfits!
Bill’s Bat taco on a stick? Served to you from Sars-ler Stake House or Mask-Donalds?
Scott- my wife’s exact statement is Are you STILL watching those three guys?
😁
“So complaints only reflect negatively on you” PRICELESS!
Bill’s audio troubles: I’m pretty sure that’s called “cockpit” trouble.
We now know that Scott has big feet.
Scott has something in common with CNN viewers. He has to shower after watching CNN. I’m not judging. I don’t watch CNN. It’s rated PG-65 and I’m not old enough.
Scott does not the difference between the White House and “some other guys” lawn.
Scott is a proven adult as he always ensures to hide when he picks his nose.
No matter how loud I yelled at the screen, Steve wouldn’t stop staring at me!
The state of Georgia does not have one bar! 51% of all sales MUST come from food. Georgia has LOTS of restaurants! I owned one. Lets just say we were very creative. Also, giving away alcohol is illegal.😉
Reading the comments on backstage before watching the video is high entertaining and confusing.
I do not give sage advice because I am Italian. Oregano advice n the other hand…
These shows definitely need a name. Come on man! Lets get some options up.
The Questionable Sobriety Corner
I’ve been watching videos from the British game show 8 Out of 10 Cats and the resemblance to the Backstage shows here is uncanny. 😉
Scott, I gotta tell ya, the beard is fabulous!
Guess Who did that song?
I think that reparations have been paid already–for the past 50 years. It’s called the welfare system.
Not to mention affirmative action
Yes, affirmative action is actual systemic racism.
Ora positive defence.
RAMEN!! Bill, you want good ramen? There’s an Asian mart at, IIRC, Centinela and Venice. Inside there’s a food court and a place called Mitsua. Get the Spicy Miso Ramen w/ double pork. I so miss that place.
$23 fries is exactly the angle I was thinking, Steve.
Abbott no. Adler yes.
Irene Adler?
Don’t know Adler’s first name. He’s the mayor of Austin. Sees Frisco as something to aspire to.
Good one, Laura
Do what I tell you to do. Or I’ll cut off your water and power. In the middle of summer.
That is definitely one of the worst outcomes of this damned political fiasco. That man should be tarred, feathered, keel-hauled AND pilloried.
You forgot drawed and quartered! Or is that drew? Nota Englich magor!
It’s drawn and quartered. And my main language is either gibberish or techno babble. (Chemical Engineering BS degree)
What if, we don’t wanna be Stone Cutters no more?

Breweries were banned from selling beer in the tasting room at the end of a tour. They got around that by giving free beer that was only available in rented glasses.
How about this? People are so desperate to get out of the house that they are coming to the dentist in record numbers!🤪
That’s interesting. I was thinking of going to the dentist myself!

Communists get rich stealing the production of everyone else.
Or even all politicians
Yeah. I was just answering a direct question about communists. My answer applies to all tyrants — especially Democrats.
Thank you for learning how to use your microphone, Bill. Now the internet whiners will have to find another thing aout which they will complain.
Like the lack of ZOOM meetings?
