The panel reviews what it truly means to run a \u201cconnected campus,\u201d exploring the benefits, hurdles, required workflows, stakeholder alignment, and how automation and virtualization are reshaping classroom support. But it\u2019s not all cloud talk! USC and UCLA are days away from their big Crosstown Cup rivalry game, making this the biggest weekly rivalry segment of the season. Expect good-natured trash talk, playful jabs, and a surprisingly collaborative discussion between two AV teams who are supposed to be mortal enemies. Along the way, the panel veers off the rails into corporate jargon, classroom design myths, camera panic ticket escalations, and the ever-expanding universe of AV podcasts and tools. As always, there's plenty of humor, plenty of trash talk, and just enough chaos to keep things interesting. Whether you care about AV architecture, cross-campus ecosystems, sports rivalries, or just want to hear two LA schools grin through their competitive tension, this episode has something for you. &amp;nbsp; Download AV Buddy: iOS: https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/us\/app\/av-buddy\/id476993821 Android:  https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.ionpixel.avbuddynew &amp;nbsp; Connect with our guests: Joe Way: https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/josiahway\/ Raj Singh: https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/r5ingh\/ &amp;nbsp; Alternate show titles:   AV in a Box   Craft Brewing Cloud   So when AWS goes down\u2026   We\u2019re sky-connected   Simple scales and complex fails   You all spent a crapton of money   Adopting standards that are already pre-existing   Tickets are the results of problems   They don\u2019t know how to speak \u201cus\u201d   They\u2019re saying crap I\u2019ve never heard in my life   No one cares about the network   We want the AI applications to be on the ground   I have a number and it is 10   People view your strategy through their strategy   Do NOT let me do installation   I was high on something   &amp;nbsp; We stream live every Friday at about 315p Eastern\/1215p Pacific and you can listen to everything we record over at AVSuperFriends.com&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; \u2580\u2584\u2580\u2584\u2580 CONTACT LINKS \u2580\u2584\u2580\u2584\u2580 \u25ba Website: https:\/\/www.avsuperfriends.com \u25ba Twitter: https:\/\/twitter.com\/avsuperfriends \u25ba LinkedIn: https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/avsuperfriends \u25ba YouTube: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@avsuperfriends \u25ba Bluesky: https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/avsuperfriends.bsky.social \u25ba Email: mailbag@avsuperfriends.com \u25ba RSS: https:\/\/avsuperfriends.libsyn.com\/rss &amp;nbsp; Donate to AVSF: https:\/\/www.avsuperfriends.com\/support ","author_name":"AV SuperFriends","author_url":"https:\/\/www.avsuperfriends.com","html":"<iframe title=\"Libsyn Player\" style=\"border: none\" src=\"\/\/html5-player.libsyn.com\/embed\/episode\/id\/39160555\/height\/90\/theme\/custom\/thumbnail\/yes\/direction\/forward\/render-playlist\/no\/custom-color\/88AA3C\/\" height=\"90\" width=\"600\" scrolling=\"no\"  allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen><\/iframe>","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/assets.libsyn.com\/secure\/content\/195801745"}
