    Black Hat, DEFCON & “Windows Hell No”

    Pull up a glass and settle in; the crew is back from Vegas with stories you will not want to miss. In this episode of Security with Spirits, Jason shares his adventures at Black Hat and DEFCON, from walking 13 miles a day in the desert heat to discovering hacker villages on everything from aviation to lockpicking. We dive into the infamous Windows Hell No exploit, live phishing calls from the DEFCON stage, and why trust in AI is becoming the newest attack vector. Along the way, we swap drinks, from Bushmills and Monkey Shoulder to premixed Transfusions and even A&W Ice Cream Sundae soda, while debating vendor shenanigans, AI hype, and what it means to raise kids who understand security before they learn it the hard way. Whether you have been to the cons or just dream of making the trip, this one is packed with laughs, lessons, and a reminder that the only thing hotter than Vegas asphalt is the current state of cybersecurity.

    Redundancy Is a Journey, Not a Destination

    Grab a glass and hunker down, Episode 41 is a disaster-filled ride through flooding basements, flaming UPS units, rogue trees, and one very immersive surround sound moment gone hilariously wrong. In this episode, the guys crack open bottles of homemade peach rum, Japanese whisky, and Southern Comfort while reflecting on personal and professional disasters, and the lessons learned from them. From tabletop exercises that don't go as planned to the bitter reality of "risk transference" in cloud services, this episode is all about preparation, perspective, and learning the hard way. Plus: truffle-fueled commentary, lost cell phones, and why sometimes it’s just better to let someone else do the job.

    We Solved Email, You’re Welcome

    This week the crew gets personal with a new segment, “What’s in Your Drawers?”, where each host digs into their mysterious tech junk drawers to unearth everything from microSD adapters to forgotten iPhones. Alongside the laughs, the team dives deep into the ongoing saga of corporate email: the phishing, the overload, the AI marketing creep, and why email just won’t die. Is email still essential, or is it a relic in need of retirement? Could zero trust, internal-only inboxes, or even fax-to-shredder workflows be the future? Spoiler: no one likes read receipts, and everyone loves dunking on email.

    Unofficial IT Help Desk?

    In this episode of Security with Spirits, Jason, Ben, Jonathan, and Tony gather to discuss a common cybersecurity pain point: how the infosec team often becomes the "unofficial help desk" for other IT departments.

They also explore strategies to set boundaries, improve collaboration, and avoid burnout. As always, the discussion is paired with great drinks from Buffalo Trace bourbon to hot tea (yes, really).
