Podcasts about Wayback Machine

Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray fire up the Wayback Machine and revisit the wildest headlines and personal stories from exactly ten years ago. From Joey Chestnut losing the hot dog eating crown to Diddy falling into a stage hole at the BET Awards, this episode is a rollercoaster of nostalgia, absurdity, and gut-busting commentary.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit wisdomofcrowds.live“War is the father of all and the king of all; and some he has made gods and some men, some bond and some free.”So said the ancient Greek philosopher, Heraclitus. In his essay this week, Santiago Ramos says the opposite: “… war is a necessary evil; it is not what preserves the great achievements of the human race. War threatens those achievements, and we are lucky that more has not been destroyed already.” Santiago believes that pro-war voices which emerged during the recent Israel-Iran kerfuffle are expressing something more than the need to fight wars for self-defense and world order. They are voices which celebrate war as an essential, creative activity in history. Damir Marusic shares Santiago's distrust of those pro-war voices. But he thinks Santiago goes too far in a utopian, kumbaya direction. War, Damir says, will always be part of the human condition. It is folly to believe that human beings will progress enough to one day beat their swords into plowshares forever. In response, Santiago accuses Damir of believing in original sin but without the possibility of grace. Damir denies this and clarifies this position: “I want no heroes among human beings.”This rollicking debate reaches a climax in our bonus section for paid subscribers. Damir discusses Iranian incentives after the recent American bombing and ponders the possibility of a future war. He challenges Santiago to consider Trump's oft-repeated slogan, “Peace through strength.” Also in the bonus section: How much moralizing did Santiago do in his essay? the two men wonder. Santiago explains what he means by “a weird conscience-element in the air.” Why didn't Venice get destroyed? Why did Dresden get destroyed? Can you disentangle justice from sovereignty? Can you have morality without God? Damir explains to Santiago why he (Santiago) needs to talk more about Jesus. Santiago tells Damir the story of the Catonsville Nine.

“What happens when a DFW radio legend refuses to leave the field—and the laws of gravity have other plans?”In this laugh-out-loud trip through time, Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray fire up the Wayback Machine to revisit one of the most iconic—and unintentionally hilarious—moments in Dirk Nowitzki's Heroes Celebrity Baseball Game history.The spotlight? None other than Jody Dean, the beloved DFW radio icon who made it his mission to play every inning—even if it meant falling flat on his face. Literally.From refusing to rotate out for actual athletes like Ezekiel Elliott to taking a tumble on a slow roller from Yogi Ferrell, Jody's commitment to staying in the game becomes the stuff of legend. KT gleefully narrates the fall he's waited years to call live, while Ben interviews Hall of Famer Tim Brown, who tries (and fails) to politely assess Jody's athleticism:“He looks like a guy who's taking care of himself… in what way?”The episode crescendos with a mock-serious postgame interview where Jody claims his “pancreas fell out” and boasts a record-breaking streak of nine consecutive injuries. The crew can't stop laughing—and neither will you.

Here's Friday's show featuring Skin's reaction from attending the Cooper Flagg press conference, a wild trip inside The Wayback Machine, and we finally finish up the countdown of the top movies of the 21st century. 

We cranked up The Wayback Machine once again, and went back to the time in California when we got on a random military veteran's boat, and also saw a live sea lion freak-off happening.

During our live interview with Skye Edwards and Ross Godfrey of Morcheeba, I found myself at one stage scrolling through my notes to find a description of the band's sound I'd queried using Chat GPT. I couldn't find it at the time but here is what it said:“Morcheeba's signature rich, mellow music became the soundtrack of the suburban homes and chillout rooms of the late 90s and early 00s”.That's a composite of much that has been written about the band over some 30 years, and it doesn't really flatter does it? “The devil's own lounge band” is the quip that Skye Edwards recalled from an early review. The music press loves to characterise bands, but in Morcheeba's case, it comes across somewhat dumbed down. Contained within Morcheeba's mellow sounds are multiple layers of influence that reveal hidden depths with every listen. The interview with the band for this launch episode for The Art of Longevity (Season 12!) manages to scratch just beneath the surface at least. That said, Morcheeba know their place in making music that can be the perfect backdrop, to quote Ross Godfrey:“We've always made relaxing music. You can get home from work on a Friday night, have a glass of wine or smoke a spliff or whatever and play our music”. On the other hand, the sheer depth of their musical influences and references can be breathtaking. Within the mix are Bacharach, Barry and Moriconi of course, but also Brazilian late 60s Tropicalia, and somewhat less obviously (but most certainly in terms of always impressive guitar work) classic rock from Ross Godfrey's childhood favourites Neil Young and Jimi Hendrix. Meanwhile, Skye's lyrics and styles include 70s country music, along with ska and dub reggae. All of this is somehow weaved into the seamless Morcheeba sound on the new outstanding album Escape The Chaos. Launched in the mid-90s and quickly swept along on the British ‘trip-hop' wave, Morcheeba outlasted most of their contemporaries including Portishead (who refused to heed to the repeated calls to re-form). Morcheeba is one of those bands you might easily have forgotten about. And yet the band has (give or take a short hiatus and shuffling of personnel sometime between 2003 and 2009) steadily worked their way to 11 albums over 30 years, most of it under the radar of music industry gatekeepers and without much love from the music press. “They hated us” was Skye Edward's response when I brought up the subject of early press reviews. And yet, Pitchfork gave their debut album Who Can You Trust (1996) an 8.3/10, but then stopped loving them as the band's popularity took off. Recent single We Live & Die references “in the old days of NME” which had me going on to Wayback Machine to dig out an NME review from 1998 of the breakthrough album Big Calm. It was the now legendary music critic Syvia Patterson, who wrote:“Morcheeba you see, sounds nothing like Portishead. They sound like they like life”.That has certainly proved a lasting observation. And Morcheeba has proved a lasting British trip hop institution. One of the few 90s bands that just seem to keep on getting better and better. This live episode launches a new partnership between The Art of Longevity and Bang & Olufsen.

“If someone called you a hillbilly in the middle of a playoff game, would you throw hands—or just let it slide?” That's the kind of question that sets the tone for this absolutely unhinged, laugh-out-loud episode of The Ben and Skin Show, featuring the return of the legendary “Fightin McMahons.”Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray fire up the Wayback Machine and revisit one of the most chaotic, hilarious, and oddly heartfelt segments in show history. The spotlight is on Ronnie and Terry McMahon—two fictional, fight-loving country brothers who go toe-to-toe with Oklahoma football blogger Jack Shields in a no-holds-barred radio showdown.

Here's Wednesday's show, featuring a tribute to music legend Brian Wilson, a trip to The Wayback Machine featuring The Fightin' McMahons, and details on the Jerry Jones documentary that's coming later this summer.

The Fat One catches up on some voiceletters and explains why he won't be doing LITTLE shows most of next week. Happy National Donut Day.

We end the week with a blast from the past, when the East Texas Sports Boys, Billy Ray Brooks and Mitch McCoy interview Bryant, a Sacramento Kings blogger.

Here's Friday's show, featuring a trip inside The Wayback Machine, Ben's family vacation dilemma, and an update on the zebra on the loose in Tennessee. 

What happens when a neighborhood photo turns into a full-blown musical legend? In this laugh-out-loud episode of The Ben and Skin Show, the crew takes a wild ride through nostalgia, neighborhood lore, and the awkwardness of repeated park encounters. As the team fires up the Wayback Machine, they celebrate the five-year anniversary of a true North Texas cult classic: “The King of Light Farms” by the mysterious Light Farms Giant—a listener-turned-legend who transformed a casual photo into a full-blown musical saga.Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina “Little Baby Cornbread” Ray reflect on the bizarre brilliance of 2020, the year that gave us AI anxiety, pandemic weirdness, and a surprise pop banger from a fictional suburban giant. This episode is a perfect blend of absurdity, nostalgia, and genuine chemistry between four friends who know how to keep listeners laughing while reflecting on the weirdness of modern life.

This edition of The Wayback Machine takes us to a time when the Mavs were preparing their future, while having the #5 pick in the draft. So leave it to The East Texas Sports Boys to have on a blogger for the Phoenix Suns on to discuss who they might take in the draft. Just trust us, this one gets weird.

Cue up the "Wayback Machine" as we go back to last year and revisit an amazing interview we had with Erika Quest. Erika is a Pilates teacher and founder of Level Up MVMT, an online education platform for movement professionals. We will be discussing her work as an Active Aging specialist and specifically discuss how to add “neuroaerobics” or cognitive exercises to workouts to enhance longevity, memory and the mind-body connection. You'll come away with lots of easy ways to add this essential component to your workouts.Moving Conversation Socials  Brian's Book on Low Back Pain and Conditions: Back Exercise; Stabilize, Mobilize and Reduce Pain https://a.co/d/8IUb7L6  Email: movingconvos@gmail.com IG: @movingconvos FB: Moving Conversations  Brian IG: @fit4lifedc FB: https://www.facebook.com/brianrichey/   Nora IG: nora.s.john.7 FB: https://www.facebook.com/nora.s.john.7 

Retour sur une affaire aussi discrète que troublante, qui en dit long sur les failles – parfois béantes – des grandes agences de renseignement. Pendant des années, la CIA a utilisé des sites Internet aux allures inoffensives comme canaux de communication secrets avec ses informateurs étrangers. Mais la méthode, aussi ingénieuse que risquée, a fini par coûter très cher.Parmi ces sites : une plateforme dédiée à Star Wars, un blog sur les sports extrêmes, un autre sur la musique brésilienne… L'idée ? Utiliser des interfaces anodines pour permettre à des sources humaines de se connecter à un réseau sécurisé via une simple manipulation, comme entrer un mot de passe dans une barre de recherche. Le procédé a fonctionné… jusqu'à ce qu'il ne soit détecté par les services iraniens au début des années 2010. Résultat : le réseau tombe, et en Chine, plus d'une vingtaine d'agents ou informateurs de la CIA sont arrêtés ou exécutés entre 2011 et 2012. Un fiasco que l'agence américaine s'est bien gardée d'ébruiter.Mais plus de dix ans plus tard, l'affaire rebondit. C'est un chercheur brésilien indépendant, Ciro Santilli, qui relance les investigations. Passionné d'espionnage, de politique chinoise et de cybersécurité, il remonte la piste grâce à des outils publics : Wayback Machine, viewdns.info, et même des bots Tor pour contourner les restrictions. Il découvre d'autres sites liés au même réseau, et révèle que des pays comme la France, l'Allemagne ou l'Espagne ont également été concernés. Santilli en tire une conclusion claire : ces canaux secrets révèlent les priorités géopolitiques de la CIA à l'époque, avec en tête, sans surprise, le Moyen-Orient. Il s'interroge aussi sur des pratiques plus récentes, évoquant des fermes à trolls financées par l'agence pour tenter de déstabiliser le régime chinois. Hébergé par Acast.

Openers: Mark: Space Empires 4X Jonathan: 2005 Flashback & Quiz Closers: Jonathan: My top games of 2005 Mark: Hosting my own (small) event instead of traveling to a con? Mark Johnson @MarkEJohnson Jonathan Takagi @jtakagi The Wayback Machine is back. One more time, a friend joins me to go back in time to an earlier Spiel des Jahres, looking at the winner but also the other nominees and recommended games. In addition, my guest helps me think about the earlier time itself, and how the games, the hobby, and the community may have changed over the years. This time it's my longtime friend & listener from San Diego, Jonathan Takagi. In fact, he's from a bit north, in Escondido, and Jonathan is another one of the people behind my favorite regional con, EsCon. I'll be going back there in a month! Jonathan decided to pick 2005 because it's twenty years ago...which also happens to be when I started the podcast. Niagara was the game that won the SdJ (one of my earliest disappointments with the jury's selection!), and I replayed it just recently to re-examine my opinion about the game. In fact, it can be played online at BGA, which seems odd for a game that relies on its physicality and "toy factor" as much as it does. Still, the actual strategy in the game remains intact in the format, since the unpredictability of the fork in the river may not be so unpredictable after all. What do you think of Niagara?    We don't just talk about the winner, though. Back in those days, the SdJ jury announced four other "nominated" games that could've won the award, and several more "recommended" games. For me, I think the game I'd want as the winner resides in the nominated list, while Jonathan singles out some standouts from the recommended list. Other titles nominated for the SdJ: Verflixxt! (That's Life), Around the World in 80 Days, Jambo, and Himalaya (Lords of Xidit)     Other titles recommended by the SdJ jury: Boomtown, Tanz der Hornochsen (Dance of Ibexes), The Gardens of the Alhambra, Diamant (Incan Gold), Geschenkt! (No Thanks), Piranha Pedro, Typo, and Wie ich die Welt sehe…         We also talk about two other major German game awards, the Deutscher Spielpreis, and the A La Carte. They are both ranked list. The former is (sort of) for heavier, gamer-games, while the latter is for card games (or “board”games done with cards). The timing of these awards is slightly off from the SdJ, so depending on publication dates a game might show up in one year's list for one award, and the following year for another award. But they're all close, and with some notable overlap for widely-respected games. DSP 1. Louis XIV 2. Niagara 3. Manila 4. Ubongo 5. Himalaya 6. Around the World in 80 Days 7. Shadows Over Camelot 8. Jambo 9. The Scepter of Zavandor 10. Verflixxt! A La Carte 1. Jambo 2. Geschenkt! 3. Wie ich die Welt sehe… 4. Diamant 5. Boomtown 6. Razzia! 7. Team Work 8. Gelb Gewinnt! Near the end of the episode, Jonathan considers what we can now observe in the hobby when we look back on 2005. Was it the start of a transition from “German Games” to the broader notion of “Euros”? Of course we had some French, Italian, British, and even American titles back then, but they're hobby still showed its tremendous roots in German culture and its game publishing. At some point, that changed. Was this around the start of that change? -Mark

Here's Wednesday's show, featuring an update on Ben's upcoming hang sesh with Tom Cruise, a trip into the Wayback Machine, and the 30 dollar concert ticket song showdown!

“Can a freestyle joke song about a giant dog, a big hat, and a mysterious dong become a chart-topping country hit?”In this laugh-out-loud episode of The Ben and Skin Show, hosts Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray fire up the Wayback Machine to celebrate the five-year anniversary of one of the show's most iconic—and bizarre—moments: the world premiere of “BoomTown” by the mythical Light Farms Giant.Originally freestyled live on-air by Skin, this hilariously offbeat country anthem features unforgettable lyrics like “my Light Farms giant dong will punch you in the eye” and “I got a dog, and my dad had a dog, and daddy's just like that.” The crew revisits the origins of the song, debates its chart potential (“Give it to Jelly Roll—it's number one!”), and imagines a future where Charlie Crockett turns it into a Texas classic.

The Wayback Machine takes us back to the distant past, where a Milwaukee Bucks blogger named Mitch was introduced to Carl Spoon and Rational Bill of the regionally famous Sports Inferno

What happens when a Red Sox blogger walks into a prank interview with two fake sports radio hosts named Carl Spoon and Rational Bill?In this laugh-out-loud episode of The Ben and Skin Show, the crew—Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray—fires up the legendary Wayback Machine and resurrects one of their most iconic bits: The Sports Inferno. This time, they revisit a prank interview with a Boston Red Sox blogger who had no idea he was stepping into a comedic ambush.The Return of Carl Spoon & Rational Bill: The fictional sports radio duo is back, and they're as chaotic as ever—grilling their unsuspecting guest about everything from Deflategate to ACDC.The blogger, Brian Joyner, tries to keep up as the questions spiral from Tom Brady's suspension to whether Robbie Ross is still playing baseball.

בפרסומת האיקונית נגד פיראטיות השתמשו בפונט שהוא שכפול פיראטי של פונט אחר.  יוצר הפונט: זה מצחיק    לפני 20 שנה הייתה פרסומת מאוד איקונית בסרטים על גבי DVD נגד הורדות סרטים, שאמרה שלהוריד סרט זה כמו לגנוב עותק פיזי שלו וזה כמו לגנוב טלוויזיה, תיק או רכב.  פיראטיות היא פשע, ובאנגלית Piracy Is a Crime נכתב באותיות של קידוש לבנה. ואפרופו אותיות האלה, הן כתובות בפונט פיראטי. לפני שבועיים מליסה לואיס, עיתונאית ומתכננת, כתבה ברשת בלוסקיי "היום למדתי שהסרטון נגד פיראטיות משנות ה-2000 השתמש בפונט שעוצב על ידי יוסט ואן רוסום, שאחיו חידו יצר את שפת התכנות פייתון". היא מצאה את זה אחרי שחיפשה מידע על הפונט שמופיע בספר זייטגייסט של ברוס סטרלינג. ואז משתמש אחר בשם ריב, שמציג את עצמו כמשמר מדיה ומשחקים ישנים חקר קצת יותר. באמצעות ה-Waybackmachine הוא גלש לאתר של הקמפיין (piracyisacrime.com) ואיתר מסמך PDF עם שני סוגי גופנים - הלווטיקה (שכולם מכירים בלי לדעת שזה השם מלוגוים של חברות כמו Jeep, Post it, Panasonic ומלא אחרים). ופונט נוסף שנקרא XBAND Rough. ואן רוסום לא קרא לפונט שלו XBAND Rough אלא FF Confidetial, שאפשר למצוא גם היום ולרכוש רשיון עבורו. המסקנה מהדיווחים על הסיפור הזה שהפונט הזה כנראה שוכפל קיבל שם אחר והופץ בחינם, וסביר להניח שיוצרי הקמפיין לא ידעו שמדובר בגופן לא שלהם. יוצר הפונט אמר לרשת סקיי ולטורנט פריק שהוא ידע שיש עותק פיראטי של הפונט שלו, אבל לא ידע שזה העותק שהיה בפרסומת ושזה מצחיק אותו. הפונט כבר לא שייך לו, אז הוא לא יתבע. סקיי פנו גם לארגוני זכויות יוצרים, ובינתיים קיבלו תשובה מ-FACT שאמרו שהפרסומת נעשתה מזמן והאנשים שהיו אז בארגון כבר לא עובדים בו. ועובדת בונוס לסיום - האתר של הקמפיין piracyisacrime.com נסגר לפני כמה שנים ולפי טורנטפריק מתישהו הפך לאתר ביפנית שעוסק בעבודת סיעוד. ואז ב-2021 הוא הוצע למכירה ב-3,000 דולר למישהו שכבר 4 שנים יוצר ממנו רידיירקט לפארודיה שנעשתה על הסרטון המקורי בסיטקום הבריטי IT Crowd. לרלרת אהוד כמעט נדרס על ידי אופניים חשמליים שחר עשה טיפול שורש ולא הרגיש כלום
