  • Terrible Quality

    Your recording is filled with bangs and booms, and crazy background distractions. It is very annoying and unprofessional.

  • Unfortunate Audio Issues

    Enjoy the content and selection of guests BUT every time Peter touches the table, you hear a small boom. Audio in general is uneven. Easily solved with mic arms, EQ adjustment, and Compression filter!

  • Great, usually

    Usually great, but Rick Glassman

    It’s not a good interview. It’s because of him, not the hosts.

  • Check your levels

    Absolutely love the show and listen to every episode, but recently the volume levels have been all out of whack. Jason and Peter sound very faint at times while their guests blow out my speakers!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ace Alexander, Taxidermist to The Stars | Really? no Really?
Q: What makes a taxidermy piece feel alive or lifelike to viewers?
The key is preserving the animal in the right condition, then using careful sculpting, eye work, and facial positioning to convey emotion, while keeping the inside structure appropriate for the intended display.
Jeff Dunham | Really? no, Really?
Q: How do you handle performing Achmed in markets with strict censorship, like Malaysia?
He details improvisational strategies, using a different character or approach to fit local sensitivities while keeping the act engaging for the audience.
Jeff Dunham | Really? no, Really?
Q: What happened with the GE situation that was so memorable?
He recounts a risky but successful on-stage exchange with a top GE executive where the puppet confronted him, resulting in a surge of business and more GE gigs.
Jeff Dunham | Really? no, Really?
Q: When did you first start thinking about making Walter bigger for arena shows?
Dunham explains that the presence of a giant video screen in arenas allowed him to scale the puppet differently, and at one point he even temporarily enlarged Walter to keep the visual dynamic strong for large crowds.
Would You Trust ChatGPT With Your Money? | Really? no, Really?
Q: Would you trust AI like ChatGPT to give you financial investment advice?
The guest explains that while AI can perform extensive research and assemble a portfolio, humans should remain cautious and consider risk, diversify, and monitor decisions; the AI should act as a tool rather than a replacement for human judgment.
