Defenders and cybersecurity are always there when we need them.

They should get a parade every time they block a novel threat

and have streets, sandwiches, and babies named in their honor.

But most of all, they deserve AI cybersecurity that can stop novel threats

before they become breaches across email, clouds, networks, and more.

Dark Trace is the cybersecurity defenders deserve and the one they need to defend beyond.

For those of you who may be new to the podcast, my name is Miko. I'm your host over here. Join once again by my amazing co-host, Morgan Cannon. Also with a special guest today, Max Gerber, also one of our writers over at

Pride of Detroit.com. Max, how's it going, man? It's going good, man. Happy to be here. First time on the POD, so, you know, just glad to be here. No, man, happy that you were able to join us. Morgan, how are you feeling? I know coming off a loss, specifically the type of loss that the lines had this past week is not the most ideal I'm less grumpy than I was Monday and Tuesday you know progress now I've I've watched it once I've gotten down now if I watch the film and I do what I need to do for work I'm like all right I'm done with that you know so all right how about you This one's still sticking with me. I'm still a little annoyed. Like, I think the more I think about it and just like how bad it went, the more annoyed I get because it just doesn't. It was, it's in the way that they lost to the Packers, it was like, okay, it's the beginning of the season. you know, Rust, these guys, like all these starters haven't played this, this off season. Like,

there was a, there was at least something to kind of like cope with. I'm having a hard time finding some cope with this with this game. I don't blame me, man, because like, I have little moments, right? I'll be thinking I've washed it down. I'm like, okay, but what if they didn't? Because it was

just a no good, very bad day. Like give credit to Minnesota. They had a good plan. Excuse me,

they executed it well. But then like, if the Lions didn't have the worst special teams day of a

couple of years, that was terrible. Like even the kick return for a score that got called back.

I was like, y'all are messing around today, just not even coming to play.

Or the Demo fumble, because like right then, man, when they got that stop, and I was like,

all right, man, if they go score here, because that would have made it 21 to 17, and I would have

felt good.

I'd have been like, all right, they finally got control of this game after playing with their food forever. And then the demo fumble, I don't know how many drive extending penalties. So it was just like a cumulative effort to lose that game. And yeah, they just didn't deserve to win. But that's the crazy thing is like that was like a, if you had a a letter grade it maybe like a D minus performance overall

and they were still you might you subtract one of those errors I think Campbell said that after

the game you subtract one of those errors the lines probably win that game even the blocked field

goal like if you you hit that I was like okay they probably got a good chance here and then boom

yeah I don't know about you max Max, but that that does kind of, that seems very plausible. I think if you take away, whether it's the Demo fumble or I think, yeah, specifically looking at the block field goal, I think you erase one of those plays from the game. And I do think like the Lions come out with a different outcome just in terms of like how they were starting to kind of put things together late in that fourth quarter.
