JACK: Hey, hey, it’s Jack, host of the show. I am feeling good. I am feeling healthy, strong, fit. I’m in the game. So, I’m coming at you with a second episode this month. Let’s go! Defcon is coming up in a few weeks. I’ll be there. I wouldn’t miss it. You know me. If you don’t know, it’s the premiere hacking conference in Vegas, and I love going because every year something crazy happens. You don’t always know what it’ll be, but you know something is going down somewhere. Like, maybe someone will drop a zero-day live on stage, which will suddenly make us all panic and call home; shut everything down! Or maybe the FBI breaks into someone’s hotel room and arrests someone who they’ve been chasing for a decade. Or maybe someone gives a talk that makes history.
