Have you ever worked a set so chaotic your boss instructed you to throw a metal folding chair at him to avoid being electrocuted? If not, you haven’t worked Smoky Mountain Wrestling.

In this week’s episode of Old Guy Tech, Michael Samstag and Dave McCauley sit down with DP, Owner-Operator, and 40-year industry veteran Pat Clark.

We dive deep into the technical "war stories" of the freelance grind, exploring why a headset is your most valuable tool and what happens when legacy tech fights back.
