Podcasts about Wayback Machine

“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.

Please join us on the Boardgames To Go discord server where you can chat online with other podcast listeners. 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

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

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.

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

It's the podcast so nice we recorded it twice! Despite some technical difficulties (note to self: press the record button significantly before recording the outro), Elliot and Dan were able to soldier through our rundown of the week's top hacks. We kicked things off with a roundup of virtual keyboards for the alternate reality crowd, which begged the question of why you'd even need such a thing. We also looked at a couple of cool demoscene-adjacent projects, such as the ultimate in oscilloscope music and a hybrid knob/jack for eurorack synth modules.  We also dialed the Wayback Machine into antiquity to take a look at Clickspring's take on the origins of precision machining; spoiler alert -- you can make gas-tight concentric brass tubing using a bow-driven lathe. There's a squishy pneumatic robot gripper, an MQTT-enabled random number generator, a feline-friendly digital stethoscope, and a typewriter that'll make you Dymo label maker jealous. We'll also mourn the demise of electronics magazines and ponder how your favorite website fills that gap, and learn why it's really hard to keep open-source software lean and clean. Short answer: because it's made by people.

A jeopardy fail reminds us of a classic Ben blooper

Was brauchen wir, um uns wohlzufühlen? Geld, einen Job, ein Dach über dem Kopf? Lange Zeit ging die Wissenschaft davon aus, dass es bei Wohlbefinden vor allem uns Eines geht: Haben. Aber wir sind mehr als nur biologische und materielle Wesen und wollen lieben, unser Leben aktiv gestalten und fühlen. Den Wurzeln des Wohlbefindens auf der Spur, reisen Leon und Atze in dieser Folge gedanklich in den dichten Dschungel der Insel Lubang auf den Philippinen. Dort harrt der japanische Soldat Onoda Hiroo 29 Jahre lang aus, weil er fest davon überzeugt ist, dass der Zweite Weltkrieg weitergehe.
