    Always love a new episode; to think this could’ve stopped at 10 episodes, and yet we got 126 and counting. Can’t wait to listen. Also, can’t wait for an animated Grey-Bot running around with a shoebox of microphones.

    At the end of the episode, Grey mentioned how the amount KZread was recommending his video was changing wildly based on what numbers he put in the title. That sounds sounds like an overfit neural network. It's what happens when a neural network loses sight of general patterns and becomes obsessed with tiny details. It comes from being given too small of a pool of training data.

    Hey Myke, there are plenty of people that use headphones with only one ear covered. Some people just prefer it that way. Not just DJs queueing up the next track, but plenty of people who are recording audio, musicians in the studio, voice actors, etc.

    When it is a back and forth you should have both sides, you can config the audio to have your mic in one ear if you need to hear yourself at all.

    Cortex is the first podcast I have ever listed to and that was because it is on KZread. I was a fan of Grey and his email list included the podcast. So I started on episode 1 and went through them all in order.

    I'd just turn on ambient mode on my noise cancelling earphones. That way you get room and mix in both ears. But it sounds like Grey can isolate what comes out of one ear vs. the other in a way that I (and I suspect Myke) cannot. If he can just listen to one ear at a time, then I can understand why Grey finds his method superior. That said, there is something to be said for learning how your voice sounds to others and getting used to that.

    I use a USB power bank quite a lot when travelling. Sometimes on long flights, but mostly in the evenings to recharge a device while still using it when moving around, or sitting outside, or in a place with inconveniently positioned sockets. Or when theft is a risk in the place that I have an opportunity to recharge from mains power (would rather lose a power bank).

    Having been one of the people who showed up based off of the progress bar video, I can confirm to me I clicked it because I saw oh there's a new Grey video I missed? Huh better go watch it, and I think when you have a high click rate it will keep showing it.

    There is a red line below videos to tell you if you've watched them. And I watched the "Why is this still happening?" video because I recognized Tiffany and Grey. Otherwise, the title seemed somewhat clickbait, not actually telling me what the video was about while enticing me to find out.

    When we speak our ears are sensitive to all sorts of vibration. The key differences between listening to your voice as it comes through a microphone is that your ears aren't picking up the vibrations of your bones from your jaw and skull as you talk, which can make ones voice feel foreign and uncomfortable when using the Myke method of podcast recording
