Fine podcasts are sold. I mean, you should. Cause I mean, God knows you're not going to see us anytime soon.     Uh huh No, we were hell bent. We were all bent on doing an event in August. That's not happening. Nope. Did we were hell bent on doing that last event in March. We were like, it'll be fine. We're good to go. And, and then it all came tumbling down. I'm leaning I'm so we were like, I think I'm just gonna put it on the calendar for September. Just see what happens. Right. Well that's all you can do at this point. You know, just see what happens. Well, you know, Thursday, September, um, we're either going to, we're probably going to be at Nancy whiskeys down at Corktown. So, uh, put it on your calendars and then just keep an eye on what we're saying and doing, because obviously we're not going to put anybody in danger and we want everybody to be safe and cool, except for you. And you know who you are, we'll put you in danger. Yeah, no, I mean, it's, it's been a weird dude. I mean, you know, with just watching, you know, what's going on and, and you've got, you know, some States that are rolling back, uh, you've got, you know, an and starting to close up bars and restaurants again, you've got, you know, all the debates with school, you know, that are going on left and right. I mean, I got, you know, teacher, friends and parent friends and it's, this is like just the biggest cluster of clusters that I've seen. I like, there's been nothing like this in my life. Like, no, cause here's, here's the thing like, and this reminds me of arguments I've had at work before someone needs to drop the gavel because you have too many people saying too many things at the same time. Like it's like, that's okay. That's not okay. That's okay. But this isn't okay. You know? And you know, if he had fries, then it's okay. That's not okay, but not chicken wings or chicken wings, but not fries and chicken, chicken strips, but not chicken wings, chicken, you can be outdoors or you're going to be on motorcycles. New, new, new, new that's bad. No, no, no, you can't do that like, Oh, well, okay. So there's, there's a tie into one of our stories. Like everybody's kind of tweaking big. Well, and there's a difference between being on motorcycles and being on motorcycles, outdoors, and then being on a motorcycle outdoor with 250,000 Other people and bringing great dude. You ever, you ever been to a biker party? You ever been? Oh, when I was at Daytona for spring break, when I was negative the last week of biker week. And how, how socially distant our people during those events. They're common dot. Well, yeah. Cause they were going to kick your ass if you were the guy with the sun and blonde hair and the cheese, Why And the white tree torn. Yeah, the, yeah, the, uh, the wannabe Brian Bosworth look alike. Yeah. They weren't really interested in hanging out with you. Yeah, yeah. Um, no, just, I just wish someone would have a consensus. Um, cause like, yeah, now the school thing now, like normally that type of thing would come from the federal government Leaders And it's like, can we pick a doctor that like says wear masks, then the first thing he goes to in public doesn't wear one while he's sitting two feet from people. Well, but, and I do it, like I saw that meme a lot and it's one of those like, okay, so the person to his right was wearing a mask, uh, the person too. And, and he had it pulled down.

What is up? Thank you for hanging out with us. Once again. It's money night. It is time for the it in the D show. This is episode three 58 broadcasting live from our quarantine homes. This is Bob, the sales guy that is Dave. The geek Randy. I do the Twitters is doing the Twitter, his finest online it in the D dot comma. Do us a favor. Give us a like on the socials and subscribe to us everywhere. Fine. Podcasts are sold. Yeah. So, Hey everybody, I'm again, this is usually where we talk about our events and we're still not having any, so moving right along Chicka boom, Chicka, boom. He's a looking, I do not anticipate in August of any, even if it is outdoors.     Yeah. It's yeah. I mean, looking at everything going on. I mean, I'm keeping an honestly, I'm keeping a closer eye on what's going on, what door what's going to go on with schools right now, more than anything else. Um, but it's uh, yeah, I I'm, let's just say, yeah, it's not looking good. No, but the show must go on. And now we are joining where luckily joined. We were, we had him scheduled out right. When the suitors were still open. We had to come. I think this was back in March or April. Oh, that's right. Yeah. Yeah. And he's shot me a note and said, Hey, I still want me on. I said, yeah, it's not a bad time. So, uh, we're joined by the, uh, the illustrious one. Mr. Pat Garrity. How you doing, sir? Great. Thanks for having me on the show today. Yeah. Thanks for joining us. Appreciate it now. Um, before we get into it, now, you're the VP of engineering at blue Mira operations, operations. I oversee product marketing sales. Got it. I mean, do everything, whatever needs to get them Every, uh, every once in a while we run into, I run into someone at an event. They basically takes over my LinkedIn feed and I like to congratulate you on my LinkedIn feed. That's great to hear. Hey, it's not, you can attribute that. Not to me too, is a amazing, she does content marketing for, for a, I almost said duo, but blue Mira. Um, and, uh, yeah, it's been amazing. The work that she does and also like our security team is creating a ton of the content as well, and trying to make useful stuff for people, uh, in the security industry. So, so you're just putting it all out there, trying to look important and smart is what you're saying. You're not actually creating any of it. You're just, Yeah, I can't, you know, some bit idea wise, um, pointing people in the right direction, but yeah, the team, the team is truly the ones working on that and publishing some cool stuff and some free tools and whatnot. That's awesome. So one of the reasons I was intrigued about having you on the show is a, that I think blue mirror is doing some very cool stuff. And B you kind of have a long history with, uh, you know, with duo, which is kind of a, one of the big, big wind stories. And, you know, and see, I want to talk about what everyone is. Is there a shift in security focus with, with everybody working from home now and, you know, you can kind of reassess your place in the world. So I guess let's start there if your, your, your company X, and you've got half your company or all your company working from home, and you can kind of sit back and look at your, I guess, security strategy. Are you changing right now? Or are you simplifying, are you getting more complex? What what's on everybody's mind right now? Yes, sir. Certainly simplifying, um, is one of the big themes. I think everyone had these ideas of three to five year cloud migrations, um, moving from on premise to cloud. We see that everywhere. Uh, it's essentially accelerated adoption of all of that. And the reality is, is, Oh man, we didn't have security controls in place. And any on any of those things,

Hey, welcome. We are live. This is episode three 57 of the it, and the D show. We are broadcasting live from our homes. This is Bob, the sales guy that is Dave. The geek Randy.

And so, uh, I mean, yet again, this is where we usually talk about events and we ain't doing them right now. Uh, so we are hopeful that we'll be, uh, doing those again in August. Uh, we're going to see how all this shakes out, you know what I mean? You guys know as well as we do. Nobody knows what the hell is going on. Um, you know, our, our bars and restaurants going to stay open, our school's going to open, who knows? We're going to see what happens.     Is anything going to open? Yeah, no kidding. No, I mean, right now, tentative, I think we're either going to do Nancy whiskeys on the patio. Um, and I wouldn't be opposed to DSC and other, they have that back door or the back alley, a beach party thing going on. That wouldn't be a bad Either. So yeah. And I mean, it's, it's decent. I mean, even the indoor courtyard, um, is, is really wide open. I mean, there's, you know, I mean, that's that whole space to, um, I mean, that's, you know, the issue with, you know, booking something outdoors is your weather dependent, you know, I mean, you know, DSE wound up closing all their restaurants and stuff on Sunday because of all the rain did they really well, it's a thing. If you have no indoor seating, what are you going to do, Dave? You know how bored we all are? How bored are we? We are so bored that Netflix has put on supermarket sweep from the eighties that I'm watching. Aye. Okay. It's it's bad enough that it's on. It's worse that you're watching. Do you remember? Oh yes, no, I do. Are you, are you about to say, do you remember the time? Nope. No. So I was going September. Actually. You were going to Michael Jackson, but that's okay.

And he had such High hopes of being gene, Rayburn of being, you know, the guy from Joker's wild of being Pat say Jack, but no, he's the supermarket sweeps guy. That's that's the gig. He landed. If you can hear it in his inflection, how daddy is. Oh yeah. Oh, he's, he's not, he's not, well, someone should check on him and see if he's doing okay. Who's dressing these people. These people were wearing different colored sweatshirts, like a purple and a pink and orange. One with white polos underneath with the collar flipped out. Like, I mean, like which of these three items, Bob? Bob, it was, it was the eighties. People wore that. I didn't say you did. I didn't, but people who were that, it was a thing. No, Mark did the best line. And he goes out and white is all the women on the show look like Marcy Darcy. Oh, they absolutely do. They. Yeah, no, I've, I've clicked through a couple episodes. It's they? They absolutely do Part of like, you have to load up your shopping cart and get the most expensive crap. So like everyone, all they have is these cards full of hams and diapers. They run to the meat aisle and load up on all of the, like the roasts and the ribs and the, and the hams and the Turkey. They just it's. It's ridiculous. It's yeah. If you've never seen it and you want to see the kind of shit that we were stuck with in the eighties could go check out supermarket sweeps and, and, and then, and then feel bad for us.

You hear about, you know, the, uh, the R T value and it's okay. It's just over one. That doesn't mean that for every like one person infects one person we're seeing that skyrocketing exponential growth rate right now, which is super concerning. Yeah, it is. If you know, the epidemiology is about numbers, eyebrows, and numbers, everyone's kind of coming in at about 200,000 through, uh, September one. That's a lot of people in,

Welcome to the one and only IT in the D show. This is episode three 55, happy Canada day happy 4th of July. Um, on behalf of all of us, we hope that a multi Claus brought you your syrup into quality using the States. We hope that kid rock brought you your fireworks and Bush light, 30 packs.

And so, you know, again, uh, just in case you've missed the last couple episodes, we've decided we're holding off until August for any of our events. I actually just killed off the, uh, the, the one for July for Anarbor. Uh, and so yeah, you know, when things get nice and safe and mellowed out again, uh, we'll, we'll be more than happy to get everybody back together. Cause God knows we miss people. Um, but yeah, such is life. It is what it is. We're trying to stay safe. I looked at my calendar for this week, just from Google and Friday was supposed to be the ministry came at DM concert and I'm like, Hey, good. It got postponed and good. Cause I'm, can't walk still. So a double good. Um, but yeah, April next year. But then, uh, I found Judas priest. It's kind of weird. Uh, went on sale for the Fox Lasar um, like in September. So I'm like, cool. I like a good heavy metal show. Um, tickets are like a hundred bucks. So I'm like, okay. You know, for like early, like, and there's nothing sold. Like if you go to Ticketmaster right now, you can get like fifth row seats, um, all the way around the box, Dude. Well, I mean that that's too early. I like, I'm sorry. That's that's what three months from now? Ish. Wait. No. Yeah, no two months from now. Um, and so, I mean, looking at it, looking at what's going through with, um, you know, Miami just shut down all their bars, restaurants, beaches, gyms, yada, yada, you got Arizona in the midst of all this guy, did it like it's no, this isn't going to be cleaned up in two months at all. Who knows? That's what I like. Yeah. Cause I'm thinking like, Hey, I want to buy the tickets. Nope, no sight, no Bob science knows. It's not going to know. Let's be clear. Science knows it's not going to be done. Well, you know, you know, you don't, you don't never know it could be a vaccine come out. It could just go away. Who knows, or it could be, or a, you know, it could be a world mass hysteria for the next three months. And you know, more people turn into HOA presidents, you know, This is true. Well, and so I do, I love the meme. That's been floating around that said, uh, if nothing else, 2020 has proven to me that time travel is real because they keep going back and trying to fix things. But then they just wind up making it worse, like the premise of every time travel movie ever known to mankind. And so, you know, that's why the murder Hornets, uh, disappeared. Uh, but now we have the bubonic. Plague is back in China. Is that B O O B or No? It'd be, you know, there, there are no boobs on people's necks. It, it is, it is bubonic, No plague. And I'm like, Ooh, is that good? No, it's no, it's not your girl standing behind you while you're sitting down. It's that's not, that's not what this is. Damn it, There are plenty of cases of bubonic plague in the American Southwest over...

Both of them bartenders, we kind of want to do, uh, discuss, um, what life was like a behind the bar. We, we, you know, a few of us have been to the bar, but, uh, joining us is, uh, Mikey from the old Shalala downtown Detroit, sir. How have you been, haven't seen you in awhile? Uh, I've been well, man, uh, just getting used to this non quarantine stuff and living the life and working, uh, dealing with all of the wonderful public. And then now this is a, it's actually a first for the show. We've been doing this for what? Seven years. We haven't had anyone ever calling live from the bar. August gets legs in the house. I mean, we've, we've done live broadcasts from bars, but we got August in the house. He is actually tending bar right now at whiskey and a jar down in Hamtramck, sir. How you doing? You're on mute bud August. I'm actually not working tonight, but I figured it'd be fun to come here and show you just exactly what we're looking at These days at afar in Hamtramck. Uh, ms. Katie is pretty much by herself with a few people outside, a couple of regulars. And that's about the state of the world down here. Yeah. So odd. I'll start things off with you like life behind the bar. Like, so I started trickling into a few bars. I live out everyone, you know, I live on Rochester Hills, Auburn Hills, um, the bars out here pretty much business as usual. Um, a couple of them took out a couple of tables. Most of them like the open air ones in Rochester Hills are still the same. Dave was telling stories about going to, uh, with down a Cass corridor. They haven't set up like a, like a seven mile gas station with a plastic barricades and little, little windows. So some people are taking it to huge extreme, some people aren't, I guess what's your take on, I guess, the new normal behind the bar? Well, it really depends on where you are. Like I went up to a bar in McComb County last week. I walked in and right walked right the hell out.

Cause if you're paying attention, uh, places that opened up are starting to close back down again. So we'll see how that goes. I'm going to be a weather regardless of what it is. It's going to be an outdoor venue. I think we're going to pick Nancy whiskeys down in Corktown. Uh, we're going to see how this all plays out.
