About This Podcast

We’re not experts… but we try real hard. Welcome to the Professional Triers Podcast — the laid-back, slightly chaotic show where RGB lighting nerds, Christmas die-hards, and mini-event junkies come to hang. Hosted by J.R. and Brian, we dive into everything from holiday lighting fails to epic builds, controller hacks, and “what the heck does this port do?” moments. We talk shop with community legends like Bobby Galeza, Tom & Fred, Ron Armstrong — and occasionally ourselves, when things go off the rails. We’re live, unscripted, and powered by zip ties, caffeine, and probably the wrong extension cord. Whether you’re lighting up your front yard, running pixels at a theme park, or just here for the laughs, this is your tribe. 💡 Recaps from SoCal Mini, Heartland Mini, Transworld, and whatever backyard build we just barely finished
🎤 Guest interviews, behind-the-scenes chaos, and real talk from the trenches
🎄 Christmas spirit? Year-round. Professionalism? Optional. 👉 Subscribe. Comment. Roast our wiring. You’re one of us now.
