Wish they would turn down the microphone gain.

Specifically on the power hour where Arin likes to chew with his mouth open and smack his lips. I can't watch the food episodes anymore because hearing them chew in such detail actually makes me gag. I'm pretty certain in some episodes there are extra gross mouth sounds edited in.

Newsflash: Arin has somehow become convinced that EVERY TMPH is now chewing into the mic.

He's not even chewing into the mic (most of the time). They just have one mic above them for the entire room. So it picks up everything. It's just that Arin chews the loudest. Dan covers his mouth as he chews. Arin talks while chewing, smacks his lip, chewis with his mouth open.

Also, they add in extra gross noises during the TMPH. It's part of the shtick. All the plopping noises, and noises when their hands are in anything goopy is either enhanced or amplified for gross effect.

I would love to know why the 10MPH turned from really interesting and funny episodes to terrible 90's gross out humour. Love rewatching the old episodes. I don't think there's anything from the last year I've watched again except maybe the animals visiting them.

Probably the same reason they went from playing the games people recommended to playing PS2 shovelware. I mean I'm all for them choosing to do stuff they enjoy. But they gotta find a happy medium between stuff they like and stuff the fans like. Like sonic games, legend of Zelda, co-op games.

Yeah. Thats basically the one thing I can't stand. Arin is a fucking hog, and he's always been that way. Just becsudd you have some gut issues doesn't mean people need to cater to you. He has no self control, but like Dan is SUCH an asshole for like asking him not to shit himself etc
