In housekeeping news, thank you all that have stuck with me. I found out that the new software and microphone I was using  had a distortion. 
 
I couldn't hear it on my side but I was checking an episode on a podcasting app and oooh, not what I intended. If you didn't hear the distortion, I'm glad.
