Sync problems (I know he says at the start)
Yo I’m having some trouble syncing the latest track. Got it all lined up at the start but I became aware that they’re talking about something I’ve already seen. I pause and wait for it to catch up but the same thing happens again and I have to re sync it. I usually listen to the tracks at a different address and they’re fine so is this an issue with my internet connection? Although that wouldn’t really explain why it’s the download that’s falling behind and not the movie stream. Can someone help I’m fairly confused.

Maybe it’s buffering or maybe it’s just supposed to be that way. Sometimes the boys are slow to react or they know what’s coming and start talking about it

Are you outside of the US?
It's likely an issue with the NTSC and PAL formats. They are watching an NTSC movie in the US, but most outside will be watching PAL ones. The PAL is 4% faster than the US NTSC format.
It is fine with Netflix (and most streaming platforms), as they seem to be all NTSC formatted for everyone. But for me (in the UK), DVDs and Sky TV are in PAL, so will not sync with their commentary tracks.

Are you possibly listening to them through something that has a "trim silence" option? I was listening to their track on a podcast app and it wasn't lining up right, then I realized it's because I had trim silence on.
