- AwesomeCast 797: Apple Shortcuts + Fast & Furious Coaster Chaos
Sorg and Dave Podnar dive into Apple Shortcuts’ increasingly powerful automation tools, including a shortcut that can generate Instagram captions and hashtags from a photo and prepare the post for sharing.
Then Sorg brings stories back from California: a visit to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles pizzeria in Santa Monica, a wild experience aboard Universal Studios Hollywood’s new Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift coaster, and a useful Nissan Rogue CarPlay setup that let him run Waze and Apple Maps at the same time.
The crew also celebrates astronaut Ellen Ochoa and her Barbie tribute, discusses a $1.5 million Haas Foundation commitment to SAE University Programs, reacts to the incredible Street Fighter Guile popcorn hat, and gets into the growing problem of low-effort AI graphics appearing everywhere from small businesses to major corporations.

1 hr 9 min - Wrestling Mayhem Show 1021: WWE Lucha Mystery of Mysterious Mystery
Sorg and Rizz welcome guest co-host Tina Keys back to the Wrestling Mayhem Show for a look at a crowded week in wrestling.
WWE Worlds Collide has a card full of WWE and Triple A talent, but the crew is still trying to figure out how fans will watch it. They discuss the show’s overlap with AEW All Out, then turn to WWE’s increasingly chaotic Bloodline story. What does The 946 want, and who might switch sides? They also talk about Sami Zayn’s title pursuit, Cody Rhodes’ response to Randy Orton, and the possibilities of a Money in the Bank contract that can target any championship.
For AEW All Out, Sorg, Rizz, and Tina run through the announced matches, including Will Ospreay versus Jon Moxley, the tag team title ladder match, and several matchups they think could steal the show. Their predictions lead to a broader conversation about wrestlers whose styles might thrive in a different promotion.
Closer to home, the crew revisits RWA Fall Free For All and stories from VCW Where’s Zoltan?, including footage of an unexpected musical performance. In “What We Learned,” Sorg reflects on wrestling’s place in everyday culture and sends support to Gannon Jones Jr.; Rizz makes the case for watching sumo; and Tina celebrates the range of independent wrestling on the horizon. There are also BeanBoozled jelly beans. Rizz’s luck cannot last forever.

3 min - Fishing Without Bait 532: Beyond the Comfort Zone with Austin Cairns
In Part 3 of our conversation with Austin Cairns, host Jim Ellermeyer explores what Austin has learned from working in professional wrestling and sports broadcasting—and how those experiences connect with the mindfulness principles at the heart of Fishing Without Bait.
Austin opens up about the colorful personalities he has encountered in independent wrestling, along with a less glamorous side of the business: tribalism. He discusses the tension that can develop between promotions, the pressure of navigating different groups, and why he believes collaboration can ultimately make wrestling better.
The conversation then moves beyond the wrestling ring and into Austin’s expanding broadcasting career. He shares his experience contributing Pittsburgh Steelers reports for radio, reflects on interviewing established Pittsburgh sports broadcasters, and talks about his long-term goal of traveling and working in broadcasting on a larger stage.
Jim and Austin also explore changes in sports culture, including NIL, fantasy sports, sports gambling, and the increasingly common sight of fans watching their phones instead of the event happening directly in front of them.
That observation leads directly back to mindfulness. Austin describes himself as someone who wants to live in the moment, and when Jim asks what advice he would give someone pursuing a dream, Austin’s answer is simple: put yourself out there.
Growth rarely happens by waiting for the perfect opportunity or remaining completely comfortable. Austin reflects on going from a shy student to working across sports, wrestling, radio, television, and journalism by accepting opportunities that pushed him beyond what felt familiar.
It’s a conversation about ambition without losing awareness of where you are right now—and having the courage to enter uncomfortable spaces in order to discover what you can become.

We want to take a moment to uplift a powerful resource:
👉 Nationwide Bail Funds and Immigration Support from So Informed. This is a direct action guide that helps connect people to immigration bail funds, mutual aid efforts, and legal support across the country.Let us be crystal clear: A Gay & His Enby stands for immigrant rights. Period.
We stand against the racism, xenophobia, and violent white supremacy driving Trump, his administration, and the illegal ICE raids terrorizing immigrant communities.This isn’t just politics—it’s about people. Families being torn apart. Communities being surveilled and silenced. And the same systems that criminalize immigrants also criminalize Black people, trans people, queer people, disabled people—anyone who doesn’t fit white supremacist standards of “belonging.”
We believe:
🖤 No human being is illegal.🖤 Borders are violent.🖤 Solidarity means action, not just vibes.If you’ve ever wondered how to help, this guide is a great place to start. Share it. Donate if you can. Speak out even when it’s uncomfortable.
None of us are free until all of us are free.
In recent years, states have pushed forward a record number of bills that attack LGBTQ rights, especially transgender youth. The current obession with Drag Queens is no exception. This is a thinly veiled attempt to outlaw gender expressions that do not fall within the cisheteronormative guidelines. Please consider donating to one of the following charities to help make the US a safer place for Queer folks to live in peace.

2 min - Awesome Chat: AI Event Marketing That Feels Human | Sam Eitzen from Snapbar
Michael Sorg and Katie Dudas are joined by Sam Eitzen, CEO of Snapbar, for a deep dive into how artificial intelligence is changing experiential marketing, trade shows, conferences, brand activations, and the humble photo booth.
Sam explains how Snapbar evolved from physically hauling hundreds of photo booths to events into building a web-based platform that lets brands create interactive experiences accessible from an iPad, touchscreen, QR code, or an attendee’s own phone. What started as a necessary pandemic pivot has developed into AI photo experiences, highly personalized AI Stories, and new ways for brands to combine entertainment with lead generation.
The conversation also gets beyond the AI hype. Sam discusses the unpredictability of image models, why prompt engineering still requires humans, how Snapbar tests and switches between different AI models, and why brands need to understand that generative AI is not simply automated Photoshop. Snapbar’s system remains cloud-based, meaning connectivity and third-party model reliability are still real considerations for live events.
Topics and products discussed:
- What experiential marketing actually means: Sam distinguishes traditional broadcast and digital advertising from interactive marketing designed to bring the audience into the experience through participation.
- Snapbar’s origin story: The company began as a side-gig photo booth business before moving from weddings into conferences, trade shows, sporting events, product launches, festivals, and other B2B activations.
- The pandemic pivot: When physical events disappeared in 2020, a client asked whether Snapbar could bring its photo experiences online. That request became the foundation of the company’s current web-based platform.
- World Cup fan activations: Sam describes branded soccer experiences that let attendees transform themselves into stylized or animated fans and players without improperly copying team intellectual property.
- QR codes instead of long lines: Experiences can run on event iPads while also letting thousands of attendees participate from their own phones by scanning a QR code.
- Understanding the audience: A soccer activation that works at the World Cup may flop at a legal conference. Sam says cybersecurity audiences, for example, often respond particularly well to gaming, fantasy, and trading-card concepts.
- Digital experiences as event swag: The group discusses whether personalized digital content can become an alternative to another pile of branded pens, bottles, and promotional giveaways.
- Snapbar’s planned digital spinner wheel: Sam explains a digital version of the familiar trade-show prize wheel with customizable branding, prize probabilities, inventory management, QR control, redemption codes, and lead capture.
- The rise of the AI photo booth: Early image generation was unreliable, producing extra arms, heads, and other artifacts. As models improved, AI photo experiences became one of Snapbar’s biggest products.
- AI Stories: Snapbar adds Mad Libs-like personalization to AI-generated experiences, allowing attendees to influence the resulting scene while brands maintain controls over the experience.
- Taking event tech into unusual environments: Sam recalls activations at music festivals, on boats, and experiences that attendees could even access while traveling because everything is web-based.
- Working across AI providers: Rather than building its own image models, Snapbar evaluates available third-party systems and can shift between models depending on prompt adherence, realism, animation style, and client needs.
- Why testing matters: AI models can regress or behave differently after updates. Snapbar’s team tests experiences ahead of events, attempts to break them, adjusts prompts, and can intervene while an activation is live.
- Treat AI like a new team member: Sam suggests thinking of AI less like an infallible machine and more like a new employee that needs context, supervision, defined permissions, and an understanding of what it does well.
- AI is not automated Photoshop: Clients sometimes expect pixel-perfect control, but generative systems still involve prompting, probabilities, and outputs that cannot always be completely dictated.
- Why AI may not magically fix event networking: Sam pushes back on the idea that feeding hobbies and job titles into an AI matchmaking system automatically creates meaningful human connections. Event attendees ultimately want genuine personal and professional connection.
- The danger of easy AI startups: AI makes prototypes and products dramatically easier to build, but that also means competitors can build similar products just as quickly.
- Distribution becomes the advantage: Sam argues that customer relationships, audience access, SEO/AEO, reputation, and reaching the right buyers become even more important when everyone has access to powerful AI tools.

3 min - The Robot That Played Renegade at the NFL Draft
Katie Dudas visits Pittsburgh Robotics & AI Discovery Day 2026 and catches up with Trevor Sibley, Marketing Manager at Pittsburgh-based HEBI Robotics, to meet a robot with a very Pittsburgh story.
When the NFL Draft came to Pittsburgh, HEBI had the opportunity to appear on the main stage alongside Carnegie Mellon University. Naturally, they decided their robot needed a local upgrade: “PLAY RENEGADE” displayed right on the robot. HEBI CEO Bob Raida helped get the crowd going as “Renegade” played during the demonstration.
Trevor also explains the technology behind the robot, including HEBI’s modular platform and R-Series smart actuators. Their mobile robots are designed to carry tools and equipment into muddy, dirty and hard-to-reach environments while remaining easy to control.
Katie also gets a look at HEBI’s industrial robotics work and how the company uses robots to make dangerous jobs safer while keeping skilled human operators in control.
It’s Pittsburgh robotics, Pittsburgh football culture and a robot that knows exactly when it’s time to Play Renegade.
