The episode pays tribute to Corey Moss, the show’s late founder, and reflects on how his original vision — unpredictable, inclusive, debate-filled, and human — still anchors the podcast today. There’s plenty of AV nostalgia, HETMA shoutouts, and off-topic hilarity, including a heated Firing Range debate on AI’s impact on the AV industry, Taylor Swift engagement theories, Krispy Kreme conspiracies, and a callback to the infamous Impossible Burger taste test challenge. It’s funny, reflective, awkward, and exactly what the 300th episode should be.
