Welcome back to the podcast for cover band musicians and bandleaders who don’t know when to quit, even when they’re soldering guitar guts 48 hours before a gig.

Adam kicks things off with a PSA: don’t get sushi on a Monday. Unless your idea of a good time involves food poisoning and a spiritual cleanse via your bathroom floor.

### 🎧 Adventures in EtherCon and Audio Over Cat6

In a fit of child-free productivity, Adam goes full "project mode" and:

* Tries to overhaul his live rig with Cat6 audio routing (spoiler: parts are backordered).
* Starts gut-swapping his guitars for funsies.
* Buys a soldering station because Patreon told him to.

Will it all work by the gig this weekend? TBD.

### 🎸 The Gig: Southern Fried Gaming Expo Prom Night

Adam's  band is gearing up for an 80's prom gig with minimal setup time and even less room for error. Cue the panic and wishful thinking that three EtherCon cables will solve everything.

### 📣 Listener Shout-Out

Dan from Ireland wrote in to say nice things. We like him. Be like Dan.

### 🛠️ Corrections Corner (aka “Yeah, We Were Wrong”)

Big thanks to listener Andrew Adams for helping us wrangle tempo mapping in Logic Pro. Turns out there *is* a better way to get your click to follow your live tempo without sacrificing your sanity. Dan's now slightly less in the dark.


### 🎉 We Hit 1 Million YouTube Views!

Yep, you read that right. One million views on the YT channel. Thanks to everyone who ever watched us talk about DI boxes or yell about "Wagon Wheel". We couldn’t have done it without you.

### 🎥 Oh, Also—Adam’s Going Full-Time Content Creator

The side hustle is now the main hustle. Adam’s jumping into the content world full-time for the company he's been working with since forever. Dreams do come true, folks… sometimes by accident.
