#103 – Name Dropping, Foam Flipping, and Backpack Battles

Michael and Damashe are back with a longform bonus episode full of tech tangents, gear talk, and plenty of laughs. In this laid-back catch-up: Michael recaps CSUN takeaways, airport barbecue, and zinc-powered travel hacks. Damashe shares how ChatGPT helped him sound-dampen his room and why Velcro tape is now a top-tier solution. They both talk backpacks—Michael stuffed his to the brim, Damashe vacuum-sealed his—and share why they're both oddly excited about compartments. Talk turns to running live audio setups, prepping for conventions, and dreaming about better comms gear (Zello, Sonobus, or something smarter?). Michael might reset his Mac. Damashe might buy a Mac Studio. Both are eyeing new mixers. The Home Assistant rabbit hole begins—will Damashe become that guy? Stay tuned. Shoutouts to Scout, an unnamed dinner guest, and every Technically Working listener who's still with them after 90+ minutes. Plus: Homebrew, MASS, Clubdeck, AutoGain, chickens, cilantro, and the ultimate tip—don’t hand someone a mic with a used windscreen.
