AV Superfriends: On Topic
Episode 62

Back-toSchool Chatter

Recorded August 15, 2025

In this episode, Chris, Jamie, Larry, and Justin revel in the chaos and excitement of back-to-school preparations and reminisce about their experiences from ten years ago while tackling the challenges of the new academic year.

The discussion kicks off with a lighthearted look at the absurdities of the back-to-school rush, including the frantic requests from faculty and the inevitable tech hiccups. The team shares their thoughts on how far AV technology has come in the past decade and reflects on the lessons learned along the way. From the struggles of outdated systems to the thrill of new installations, they cover it all.

As they navigate through their own back-to-school stories, the panelists reveal their personal strategies for managing the busy season and keeping their sanity intact.

Far superior human created alternate show titles:

They hibernate and then re-hatch
Looks like an owl winking at you
Everybody loves whiteboards
That whiteboard is structural
These were working before they touched them
You know who didn’t say that?
He… didn’t get fired
It’s my first day!
I’ve been flat on purpose
Dumb questions like “Are you done yet?”
