The show originates from a brand new Marriott hotel in The Hague, Netherlands, near the Dutch government seat. Technical difficulties arise involving Huawei and Netgear routers failing to extend 5G Wi-Fi signals. Connectivity is limited to a slow 2.4G signal, forcing a shift to mobile applications for soundboard triggers.

The FCC has partnered with a UK-based company called Sam Knows to embed "secret sauce" software into consumer routers, starting with Netgear models. While marketed as a tool to measure broadband speeds, the technology is criticized as a potential backdoor for government surveillance of internet traffic. The company's opaque corporate structure and use of privacy-shielding services for its domain registration have raised significant red flags.
