It seems like it's an equipment issue.  You don't think compressors would reduce most of the too hot audio issues?

Jayay fixes the levels as fast as he can but he isn't psychic nor is he a little chip that makes the lows softer and the highs quieter automatically.

I don't necessarily let him off the hook either.

But Professor, what say you to this? 

 (It's a waveform from an actual TYT podcast - yesterday's - unmodified and naked to the world. Those raggedy-ass torn off humps and bumps represent ugly, tooth-grinding distortion.

To be fair - this is Cenk doing one of his goofy horse laughs. It's not all like this. But I thought I'd share it anyway because that's just the kind of dweeby guy I am.)
