The Jerich Show Episode 31 – Garrett Gross, The End Of The Year And Our Favorite Stories Of 2020

Join Javvad and Erich as they trick the ever funny and good humored Garrett Gross in to joining, them one last time before their end of year break, for a solid 9 minutes of great discussion followed by his dismissal. Once rid of him, the team turns the topic to their own favorite infosec stories of 2020. 

After this episode Erich and Javvad will be taking a break until the new year while they try incantations, burning of incense, interprative dance and any other possible method of ensuring 2021 won’t be the dumpster fire that 2020 was.
