🎧 Episode 127: “King of Coro… But We Didn’t Talk About Coro – James Hohensee from Boscoyo”

What’s up Brian?! We finally got James Hohensee III — the mastermind behind Boscoyo and the unofficial King of Coro — on the show… and barely talked about coro at all. 😂 Instead, we went off-script in the best way: 🎤 James opens up about community, burnout, and the real reason he keeps showing up 🧰 Behind-the-scenes stories from the early days of Boscoyo 🎯 What it’s like being in the RGB world this long — and what still excites him 💬 Honest talk about growing the hobby without losing the fun 🧠 In This Episode: * How James went from tinkering to building an empire of flutes and flakes * What drives him to keep innovating (hint: it’s not just money or coro) * His take on the future of prop design and DIY * Why staying grounded matters more than staying trendy 💬 Ever built a show with Boscoyo props?

🎧 Episode 126: “Devon Did What?! DB Lights & the Show That Broke the Neighborhood”

🎧 Episode 125: “Fresh Off the Boat, Running Late & McVay’s Surprise Plan”

What’s up Brian?! This episode hits right after wheels-down — and we’re running on fumes, fast food, and pure lighting adrenaline. J.R.’s back from the high seas, Brian’s trying to keep it together, and McVay’s got something sneaky up his sleeve. We chat about: 🛳️ Post-cruise chaos and jumping right back into Mini prep ⏰ Why every great lighting idea happens when you’re running late 🎭 The mystery of McVay’s “surprise” — and why it makes us nervous 🤣 Side tangents, jetlag jokes, and the usual community shoutouts 🧨 In This Episode: * A cruise recap with more RGB withdrawal than relaxation * Trying to catch up on projects while still unpacking * What McVay’s planning (we think?) and how it might involve pixels * Why we never learn from doing it last minute 💬 Got a theory on what McVay’s cooking up?
