There","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":134.319,"end_s":141.84,"text":"they go. Okay. So, the batteries go in this way and then that way.

So,","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":176.319,"end_s":184.56,"text":"this is what I'll be using now instead of that horrible thing. Uh there's a","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":180.879,"end_s":186.4,"text":"little clip as well as a little a little","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":184.56,"end_s":190.08,"text":"cute little cover for the microphone.

I was like, \"Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":204.159,"end_s":209.84,"text":"House of Knives. I need a knife.\" So, I went in and I got the knife. Okay, there","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":207.84,"end_s":214.64,"text":"we go. So, I got a little cover for the uh for the microphone. Go ahead and plug","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":211.76,"end_s":218.4,"text":"that in there or cover that there. Okay, there we go. So, it looks like that.","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":216.4,"end_s":223.36,"text":"There's my microphone. And it goes in that little clip somehow. Maybe we'll do","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":220.959,"end_s":226.84,"text":"that, too. It's all made of metal and everything.

Okay.","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":228.92,"end_s":233.879,"text":"Um, so yeah, I don't know. Maybe this","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":232.56,"end_s":238.439,"text":"goes through here.","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":236.439,"end_s":245.36,"text":"No. Oh, I see. So, it has to go through this","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":242.08,"end_s":247.28,"text":"twisted coil somehow, I think. You know","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":245.36,"end_s":253.239,"text":"what? I'll figure that out later. Okay.

Oh, and","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":256.88,"end_s":263.84,"text":"it even screws on. Look at that. All right. And then on this side, we","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":264.199,"end_s":271.16,"text":"have the","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":267.24,"end_s":273.84,"text":"receiver, which goes like this.","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":271.16,"end_s":277.44,"text":"Yep. And that goes into the cameraman's camera. if he had a way more awesome","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":275.6,"end_s":280.96,"text":"camera, which he doesn't. So, we're actually going to use Okay, I better","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":278.96,"end_s":285.04,"text":"unscrew that before I try and unplug it. There we go. So, we're actually gonna","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":282.4,"end_s":289.759,"text":"use this one.
