64: I Bet They're Super Tech-Savvy

AV SuperFriends: On Topic
"I Bet They're Super Tech-Savvy"

Recorded October 24, 2025

In this Thanksgiving special, the crew gathers at the bustling Circus Circus in Las Vegas (by way of theater of the mind). Chris, Jamie, Marc, Larry, Justin, and special guest Frank Alaimo, dive into the chaos of AV integration during the holiday season, while serving up piping hot takes and mashed-up opinions.

As they navigate the complexities of holiday technology requests, the conversation hilariously veers into the world of DIY AV setups, unexpected tech purchases, and the challenges of integrating consumer-grade equipment into professional environments. From the infamous ‘hockey puck’ microphones to the wild world of Raspberry Pi lighting setups, nothing is off the table.
So loosen your belts, grab a plate, and settle in for a feast of sound, humor, and a few too many turkey puns!

When you see people on stilts, you know it’s a fancy joint
This is actually fulfilling one of my life goals
Mistakes were made
The Whoa-Pro!
It works right out of the box
A hockey puck USB mic
It has little legs on it, maybe not
The turducken of meeting rooms
They start banging it out and you’re like “Oh!”
What do you think is going on in this classroom, dude?
This is news to me!
An army of fruit rolling around
