Send us Fan MailThis week, we start a multi-part series talking about nostalgic television.  Even though we are from different generations, we all grew up in a TV era.  This week's episode focuses on television shows that were launched in the 1960s through 1975.  No matter what your age, you may have seen these shows when they first aired (if you are a boomer like Andy) on reruns (like Paul) or on Nick at Night (like the young bitches on our team).  But talking about these shows brought a flood of memories and wonderful feelings.  We hope that you feel the same way as we work our way through the history of network television.   @tugayspodtugayspod@yahoo.com#lgbt #lgbtq #lgbtqia+ #sandiego #gaysandiego #gaycommedy #1960stv #1970stv #tvhistory@tugayspod  tugayspod@yahoo.com#lgbt #lgbtq #lgbtqia+ #sandiego #gaysandiego #gaycommedyGay San Diego comedy LGBT LGBTQ LGBTQIA+Producers:  Nick Stone & Andy Smith

Happy BlackHat to those who celebrate!Andy Smith is founder and CEO of Tracebit. Tracebit sells a cyber deception platform to lure attackers into targeting intentionally vulnerable targets, giving valuable information to defenders. Andy argues that as AI-driven attacks increase in exploit speed and complexity, deception will play more of a role than ever to provide early detection to defenders. Before Tracebit, Andy worked as a developer, including head of engineering at Tessian which was acquired by Proofpoint in 2022. In the episode we touch on his thesis for improved deception, his bike trip down the west coast of the US, his descent into cold outreach, including how he is successful, and more.

Why did the security industry stop talking about deception technology? And why should we start paying attention again?In this episode, Robby is joined by Andy Smith, CEO and Co-Founder of Tracebit, to discuss the evolution of deception technology and its role in modern security.Andy explains how organisations can deploy canaries, honey tokens and other deceptive resources in their environments to generate high-fidelity alerts when attackers move laterally, escalate privileges or attempt to access credentials and sensitive data. These alerts are designed to be both simple and highly reliable: if someone touches a fake resource, something suspicious is happening.The conversation explores modern deception techniques, what these look like when customers deploy them in their SOCs, how realistic decoys can be customised for different environments and the next generation of deception technology.Send us Fan Mail

The year 1920 marks a pivotal moment in the annals of football history, as it heralded the inception of the American Professional Football Association, which would eventually evolve into the National Football League. This episode delves into the myriad events that transpired during this transformative year, including the celebrated Rose Bowl, where Harvard triumphed over Oregon in a closely contested match, symbolizing a return to normalcy following the turmoil of World War I and the Spanish flu pandemic. We examine the establishment of a professional football organization, showcasing the inaugural game between the Dayton Triangles and the Columbus Panhandles, a significant milestone that laid the groundwork for future leagues. The discussion extends to the emergence of iconic teams and players, as well as the cultural significance of these developments within the broader context of American sports.

The narrative of 1920 in football is replete with significant events that collectively heralded a new era for the sport. Central to this story is the formation of the American Professional Football Association (APFA) on September 17, 1920, in Canton, Ohio, which laid the groundwork for organized professional football. This episode meticulously examines the circumstances surrounding the establishment of the APFA, emphasizing its role in fostering a more structured and ethical framework for professional play. Furthermore, the discussion contextualizes this development within the broader historical milieu, including the impacts of World War I and the Spanish flu pandemic, which had previously disrupted the sport and its traditions. The resurgence of college football, exemplified by Harvard's triumph in the 1920 Rose Bowl against Oregon, serves as a poignant reminder of the sport's enduring appeal and the revival of competitive spirit following a tumultuous period.

Chosen by Dave, A Shot at Glory is a Scottish football drama directed by Michael Corrente and written by Denis O'Neill, bringing together a surprisingly heavyweight cast for a film about lower-league football, club loyalty, and men shouting at each other in tracksuits. Robert Duvall stars as Gordon McLeod and also served as a producer, with Michael Keaton, Ally McCoist, Brian Cox, Cole Hauser, Kirsty Mitchell, and Morag Hood rounding out a cast that feels like someone put Hollywood, Scottish football, and a pub argument into the same blender. The film was produced around 1999/2000 and received a limited US theatrical release in May 2002, followed by a DVD release later that year.Filming took place across Scotland, with football scenes using real grounds including Boghead Park, Palmerston Park, Rugby Park, and Hampden Park, while much of the fictional town of Kilnockie was shot in Crail, Fife. The movie also has a proper Scottish football texture thanks to appearances from real players and football figures, while the soundtrack was composed by Mark Knopfler, giving the whole thing a Celtic-tinged musical polish rather than just the sound of 8,000 people shouting “man on.” Critics were mixed, the box office was modest, but over time it has become a bit of a cult curiosity for football fans, especially anyone who enjoys seeing Ally McCoist sharing screen space with Robert Duvall and Michael Keaton.Trailer Guy SynopsisIn a small Scottish town, where the rain falls sideways and football is less a sport than a legally recognised emotional condition, one struggling club faces the fight of its life.Kilnockie FC has history, pride, and a fanbase clinging to hope like it's the last pie at half-time. But when an American owner threatens to rip the club from its roots, only one thing can save them: victory, belief, and a team held together by grit, grudges, and questionable decision-making.Fun factsThe film's working title was reportedly The Cup, which is accurate, but does sound like a placeholder left on someone's laptop until five minutes before the poster was printed.Ally McCoist plays Jackie McQuillan, a fictional footballer, despite McCoist himself being one of Scottish football's most recognisable real-life strikers.Brian Cox appears as Martin Smith, the Rangers manager, years before a whole new generation would know him as Logan Roy in Succession.Cole Hauser, later famous as Rip Wheeler in Yellowstone, plays Kelsey O'Brian, a backup goalkeeper, despite reports noting he had no real football background.Several real footballers appear in the movie, including Owen Coyle, Andy Smith, Peter Hetherston, and Didier Agathe.Robert Duvall reportedly spent time observing Raith Rovers to help shape his performance as a Scottish football manager.The fictional Kilnockie FC was loosely inspired by the kind of improbable cup exploits associated with smaller Scottish clubs, including Airdrieonians' runs in the 1990s.Mark Knopfler's soundtrack album contains 11 tracks and was released in 2002, with Guy Fletcher also involved as producer.Support the ShowIf you enjoy the show and would like to support us, we have a Patreon ⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠.If you're listening on Apple Podcasts or Spotify, leaving us a 5-star review (and a short comment) really helps more people discover the show.

Carbon-plated running shoes have completely changed endurance sport. World records are tumbling. Recovery between sessions seems quicker. And for many runners and triathletes, they feel almost impossible to ignore. But are they coming with a hidden cost? In this episode, I'm joined by physio and sub-30-minute 10k runner Andy Smith to explore what these shoes are actually doing biomechanically, why we may now be seeing different injury patterns in runners and triathletes, and how to use carbon-plated shoes without breaking yourself in the process. This is a practical conversation about performance, durability, strength, and why “faster” isn't always as simple as it looks.   5 KEY POINTS 1. Carbon shoes change running mechanics - They reduce load on the calf and Achilles… but shift stress further up the chain. 2. Injury patterns may be changing - Andy is seeing more bone stress injuries in areas like the femur and pelvis. 3. Faster recovery can be deceptive - The shoes may allow athletes to handle more training volume… before the body is ready. 4. Strength is now non-negotiable - Foot, calf, hip, pelvis and core strength all become even more important. 5. Most athletes transition too aggressively - Andy recommends gradually building into carbon shoes rather than using them for every run.   3 TAKEAWAYS 1. Don't let the shoes do the work - The stronger you are, the more benefit you'll get from them. 2. Protect your weak links - Hip stability, calf strength and foot control matter more than ever. 3. Build gradually - Introduce carbon shoes slowly and strategically.   KILLER QUOTE
