Production Information

• Edited by: Tony
• Notes: Erik Saved The Show

Because of the dropped frames in the show recording, the video was off sync by more than 10-20 seconds in the last 20 minutes of the show. Erik came up with the idea to record the previously recorded stream to get the video. It worked but the audio does sound a little bit different. The original video recording also did not have the tease recorded due to the dropped frames. AOL upload speed has dropped from 130 KB/s to 50 KB/s
