In general, a valid comment. However in this particular case it really was not their fault. The transcript was prepared from the video/audio feed, and not by anyone in the room. Even though it was known in advance and very clear that Brian and Steven were going to be part of the program, they were not miked for the event by the WH sound team. We could hear them very clearly in the room (and when they said that the game was named "Lunacy" the whole room burst out laughing). But they were not picked up by the fixed mics on the cameras at the other side of the room. So we should cut them some slack.
