Dot Com Pho After Hours Heads to Cloverdale


Sometimes we end up in the middle of nowhere by accident and sometimes on purpose. Whether it’s because you had a flat tire, or run out of gas, we always end up there sooner or later. Yesterday, we ended up there (as in nowhere) for another thrilling Dot Com Pho After Hours adventure!

This week, nowhere had a name and it was Cloverdale, which is sometimes the backdrop to popular TV shows like Smallville and Supernatural. I guess if they screw up and blow up the town by accident, it’s not such a big deal. It’s also close to where our Pho Phriends Gary Jones and Rainer Schmoll live. Since they often come out to Pho in Vancouver, enduring the long drive, it was only honorable that we come out and do an episode there at least once…and we could never do this with John Chow around as it would violate his five minute rule. Five minutes as in how long it would take him to drive from his house.

I thought I was alone till Ed Lau showed up…late as usual. But I have to give him props for showing. I did page Leo Chiang, but he said he was…umm…working. I think that was his code for “Fracking a Six” as he is, after all, our friendly neighborhood “Raptor Wrangler” on Battlestar Galactica. I’m sure being on the last episode got him some “play”. This week is also the episode where Michael Kwan returns in another thrilling “Kwan’s Korner” segment. Enjoy!

I think this is all the adventure I can take for a while. This weekend, we’re coming back to Vancouver and I feel like hitting a greasy diner. Any suggestions?

I thought Ed was supposed to be the one with the absurdly loud voice, but my segment was so much louder than the rest of the video. Haha. Stephen, you’ve got to learn how to equalize the audio in your videos better. :)

JAI HO!

I checked it and fixed it. It’s uploading now. Your audio was actually in the RED. You need to use your inside voice. Why so angry? LOL I guess you’ve been practicing your yelling just in case you get stuck in a blizzard and need to call for help ;)

Your audio was just too quiet by comparison. When I upload my videos directly to YouTube, they aren’t as loud as in this vid. Odd.

I dunno Maybe the “Tubes” does some extra equalization and compression to save on bandwidth and reduce file sizes?

I grew up in Parksville and Errington was my backyard. Never got into the goats eating grass off the roof.
