The ExperTeam Streamlines Production!

Warning! This is not the Expertise podcast. This is an illegally recorded phone conversation about the Expertise podcast. By listening, you are a party to that illegality. And that's the best kind of party there is. Man, I don't know about you, but I feel like this podcasting thing is just taking up all my time. It's a big commitment, Danno, but we knew that when we started it. So, you don't have to say yes to this idea. I'm thinking, if we could just record a bunch of stock words and phrases, that would speed up the whole process. Because rather than us having to think of new things to say each time, we could just mix and match from things that we've already said.

Also, that is the way that they broke into a voice recording lock in the movie, I think, Sneakers. They had the person whose voice was automated to the lock to say the right words that they needed, not in the right order. And then they edited them together. I think I can take a lot of the phrases from the phrase that you just said. For example, edited. Yes. If we ever need to reuse that again, you can just leave an empty space and I'll pull it from the library. That's going to cut down a lot on our podcast time. I mean, it's going to cost you a lot of time in editing.

Well, that's just me. Right. I feel like when we're here together, we're using up time times two. During editing time, I can automate those processes. Automate those processes. Yeah. So, for example, I need to use the word edited right now. So, I'm not going to say it. I'm just going to insert you. Hang on. That's going to be in your voice for what I'm saying. Can you just process the tone? Just lower it? Yeah. I don't know if I can lower it, but I can make it sound like a scary robot. Let's see if I say it in the lowest voice I can just to see how it will sound.

All right. Yeah. Yeah. So, you say the sentence. So, during the process, there will be many sections that I will have edited. This is already saving so much time. Yeah. You know, the more time we spend saving time, the more time we save. Can we just do a list of words back and forth that we feel like might come up? Yeah. I'll say one. You say one. Okay. And. Chamomile. It's. For. Pavalone. Cheese. Camera. Lake. Claire. Pond. Dano. Frige. Parasite. Gladiola. Partial. Parsley. Cankerous. Credenza. Now, I think that we should do some words where I say the first half of it and you say the second in case in editing, you and I have said the same word.

Right. And that'll give that verisimilitude to the overlapping conversational style that we have. Right? Right. Over that. Yes. All right. You start. Pre. Nuptial. Gore. Jing. Tan. Say it again. Tan. Mahide. Val. Lee of the dolls. Val. Return to Valley of the Dolls. Is that how it works? That is exactly how it works. Okay. I think that's the verisimilitude that we're searching for. Yeah. Let. Us. Pray. How can let us pray? It's not even Catholic. I mean, kale is Catholic. Kale is Catholic? Nobody likes it, but it's full of nutrition. Yeah. And you eat a bunch of kale, you'll be sitting in your own pew, that's for sure.

You know, I realized that when I listen to you speak, Claire, that's a word we could replace, that I respond quietly with kind of a uh-huh or a mm-hmm. And I'm wondering, do you think I need a both a uh-huh and a mm-hmm? Oh, absolutely. Yes. Oh, really? Oh, yeah. You need to keep that. We're talking about spicing this program up. Yeah. So there's, oh, there I did another one. Yeah. That kind of quiet, breathy. Yeah. I mean, you can, if you want to work on a few different responses. Uh-huh. Yeah. Until you find a couple that feel good to you and then also like just add a zing to the programming.

Yeah. So some Pat phrases. Like, hi, my name's Pat. Yeah. I'm not trying to be funny, Dana. I'm trying to be informative. Also, I think we should put in the show notes infundimative. Infundimative. Yeah. So that's the style, that's the product that we're creating? Yeah. I think that a lot of marketing and a lot of PR, they put words together or they replace a bit of a word with another word. Infotainment. Yes. Infotainment. Yeah. Infuntainment. Although now I'm realizing that we're just saying entertainment and fun rather than putting together information and fun.

So maybe it would be more like infomation. You know what? Say that loudly and clearly a couple of times and then I'll just replace every syllable with something else.
