That... was amazing. I wasn't expecting to be sitting here bawling at the end of it, but here we are. Rest in peace, head lunch lady ❤
Same !
Yeah, that ending hit hard.
So glad I always read the comments first
@@eyesyc dont let this deter you from listening. Its a great episode, trust me
Yes! This was an amazing episode. Was listening to it while working on one of my servers and had to stop so I could pay attention to the story.
"I'm glad you chose wisely." *mic drop*
-Mom of the Century, Lunch Lady Supreme, ACTUAL Legend
Hands down the most badass one-liner of anyone's hero arc!
I never thought Id cry listening to this podcast, but that last sentence broke me down to nothing
For real !
Definitely cutting onions on this episode
Professional Victim
@@ogamibirdflu5152 Missing your mother that died of cancer is not playing victim. Damn troll
Same! I went from 😅 to 😢 to 🥹
That was very touching.
The sacred role of a mother.
I figure a man who's mother doesn't love him is a man without love in his heart.
Saying goodbye is heart wrenching.
Yeah, I’m that guy you described, the one without a mother that loves him. She was mentally ill and abandoned me at 8. Im 46 now and let’s just say its been a hell of journey.
@@ogredev
Keep going pal.
Not always. Too many different things to consider really, some people do well and some do that.
Oh buddy, it's too early in the morning for me to be crying. Beautifully done.
I just found your channel a couple days ago and I can't stop listening. Love your content
We all get through this man :)
Watched everything already 😂 have to wait for new episodes to drop now
Welcome to the home of hacks
I know the narrator is closer to 40, but sometimes he sounds like he's 14. That's probably the only thing I'd tweak.
@@user-lv1id5wz9g wait till you learn that there's more on Spotify and all of what you see here is Jack moving over older content every other week! 😊 there's more to hear unless you've seen all that already!
This is one of your best. Rerun on Mothers day every year
I lost my mother to cancer around this time last year. I was not expecting to sob during this episode. John, your mom was a badass.. Those times you shared with her meant so much to her. Much love, friends!
How did you manage to deal with losing her...?
@@brandonm.4966 Time heals, man. Focus on work and other things... We grieve as we heal, and heal as we move on. Eventually the pain lessens, as we focus on the happy memories. God Bless Bro.🙏
@@brandonm.4966 I am blessed to have had it happen during a time in my life that I am mentally sturdy. More so than when I was younger. Same pain no matter what. I had to lean on my wife at times. It was a big reminder that time always ticks. It lit a fire under me to start the things I kept putting off and to be a better person for the people around me. I accepted love, which was the important thing. Without it I would have sunk into a major depression. I still am processing. I don't think it completely goes away so accepting that gives some relief. I allowed myself time to fully grieve. I took hikes alone. I prayed for love over her soul and for our family. I wasn't a religious man at the time, but it helped more than I expected. Allowing the space. It was and still is hard, but it gets easier with time. Just remember to stay towards light and love. Be strong for your family. Be someone they can rely on during that time. I hope this helps you, or anyone that needs to read the message. God bless!
You're mom is awesome dude.
My mom is awesome... good moms are definitely superheroes.
I had no idea where the story was going and as soon as you said "cancer" my heart sank. I'm actually tearing up a little bit, thanks for sharing your story. Beautiful.
So great to hear she got to do that! A great experience for her and a great memory for him!
I remember our high school took us to a prison before it was officially operational and housing inmates. I’ll never forget one of our teachers saying to the deputies that most of us would end up there eventually so we might as well get a good look at it now. As we were touring, someone found spent 9 mm casing in one of the stairwells. The deputies freaked out and confiscated it immediately…. Good times.
Prisons here should be illegal especially the private prison industry
@@christenw.1726 It just proves that we are not individuals, but rather commodities.
If either one of you grow up in my neighborhood, you wouldn’t say that
@@snikrepakpawns in a rich man’s game
@@THEMAX00000 you realize in part that your neighborhood looks like that because of the privatization of prisons right? They have bed counts. Those beds need numbers. If the beds aren't filled - that's money lost. That's why you've got lots of young men, particularly young black men that have zero father figure at home - weve incentivized throwing people in cages. Not because we care about crime, not for some great moral reason - but because someone, somewhere, needed another 27$ a day (your rate of value will vary state to state). Growing up fatherless in turn makes you statistically far more likely to end up in a prison yourself. It's a system that feeds itself and shts out broken people more likely, not less to end up back there sooner rather then later.
I'm sorry your neighborhood sucks man. It's not fair. Mine isn't the nicest either and I do get it. I understand despising gangs and a culture that promotes violence and stupidity. But you've also gotta ask yourself where all that started ... and it started with prisons and failed education.
What a brilliant episode, had me laughing hard in places as well as teared up at the end. I had images of my own Mom (who was a high school 'dinner lady' here in the UK) doing this kind of crazy stuff, so poignant that she nearly died of sepsis during chemotherapy in 2016. His Mom sounds like a superhero herself. Always be grateful for the amazing people in your life, life is short.
I listen to this series before bed every night and when I drive.this one is one of the best👌 sge did a full inspection ...I couldn't breathe man
Holy hell. What an ending. Thank you so much for that story John. Man, what a rollercoaster of emotions.
Your mom was that chick for sure. CFO through and through. I loved her ironclad nerves, I want to get into pentesting so bad. Social engineering is fun as hell really. Top notch cast Jack. We’re ready for John’s friends now lol
Clipboards and work vests have been extremely overpowered for a long time. Great episode.
Sounds like an incredible woman! Definitely felt myself tearing up when hearing John talk about his mother at the end.
Hands down one of your best episodes Jack. Thank you
Just got back home to Cambodia perfect timing to listen to this
Great story! Moms was the truth! Bless her 🙏🏾
Damn you all got me crying with that story. My mom passed away just last year. Great story though this is the best episode yet. 👍👍
Perfect timing. Thanks Jack!
I was not ready for this. Amazing story.
Loving the work mate. Only found you 3 months ago and I'm addicted!
I just want to say thanks for all these kind comments. Also thanks to Jack. You are all awesome.
Thanks for sharing this hilarious, yet painful story. Right in the feels, man.😭
Found your channel a month ago. Been bingeing your old content all day and you drop a new one. Whohoo
Never thought an interview with an IT guy would choke me up like that but the storytelling was great! Adventure family and a fearless woman who lives life and leaves a legacy what a fun listen. John was an awesome guest
By far one of my favorite episodes. Shoutout to moms. We wouldn’t be anywhere without them.
Now, That, that is by far the most touching story. What an amazing connection to have with the work you do. Inspiring!
Jack you continue to do an excellent job with these. Really love them!
Thanks for sharing John.
Damn the Superman cape, mom bit at the end had me tearing up.
"I'm glad you choose wisely" God darn it I'm at work crying stoppppp it
Mom stories are always the best! ❤
Hearing him talk about her pulling out the cape hacked my heart. Or what ever part of me that makes me cry and have snot bubbles... very humbling.
I watch ever episode as soon as they come out. Your show is amazing thanks for everything you do
I really felt that slience at the end of the story.
this story truly . . . grounded me in the present moment. my utmost condolences.
One of my favorite episodes! Thanks for uploading.
moms are incredible. make sure you all go give your mom a hug right now.
In 2006, an inmate- Robert Cole, lost 14 kg to slip through bars on his window. Not sure whether he was 42kg or 56kg when he escaped. Whatever Robert Cole's weight was, he was skinny enough to escape Long Bay- Maximum Security.
Robert Cole remained on the run fot 3 days, & was caught only 10 km away, shopping at Bondi Junction, NSW - AUSTRALIA.
What a great interview. I was literally in tears. ❤
what a cool mom, she's the real hero
Good shit, back with another. Love your vids man
Thank you for sharing such an amazing persons story. I still have tears rolling down my cheeks
Incredible story. Focusing solely on the positive aspects of a horrible situation is really inspiring.
Amazing story. His Mom will live on in the memories of all who knew her and the listeners who heard her story. Keep up the great journalism.
LOL... I wasn't expecting the pastor imitation
I love this episode and I really love the music you use at certain parts which really presents and sums up what is happening. It sounds a lot like the game Rain World when you are in danger and I really love it.
Well done, Jack. Such a great episode.
This had no business yanking so many tears out of me
Seriously tho, amazing podcast, iv binged what feels like 50 episodes in two weeks, love your work!
These are very entertaining stories, great guest!
Awesome stories. Your Mom sounded pretty amazing. Sorry for your loss ❤
Great to learn about John's story. Now I understand where the name for Black hills comes from
😂😂😂🙌♥️ loved this episode 🥷🥷🥷🥸🤣 I learned 90% of my computing skills in prison 😂 shout out to Mr.Sealy for buying Visual Basic books for me ❤❤❤❤
Bruhhhh sorry for your loss 😢 what a cool Mom ⚠️🙌🥷
that took a really sad turn really fast... im glad he has such great memories to hold on to and the strength to share his stories with others... i think i would have lost my cool way before his voice began to betray his grief. what a story. i appreciate that one.
Wow man, this one is def one of my favorites. Great video again Jack🙏🏽
This is one of the best episodes!
Yeeeeees a new episode. Love you Jack
At 12 minutes into this episode I got flashbacks as soon as he said double dislocated shoulders
This is my fav so far. Ive found myself ina similar spot with my mom. Went from heart bypass surgury expecting one of two outcomes instead she has a stroke the night after surgery that became fast and hard dementia of a year now.. its like someone who we kindof know each other but shes fully disabled and needs 24 hr care..i just turned 40 and didnt expect life to take this turn..im single with no kids and my 2 younger brothers are too busy to get involved..srry but it feels a little better telling strangers..thanks for the story. I cant cry about my story but i cant not cry for yours ❤
Super Hero for sure. Best story ever. Your mom was and is truly a legend. I learnt a lot today.
Amazing story! Brought me to tears.
this was the most fascinating story i ever heard on your channel
Every episode is awesome, thanks for this.
I just lost my momma duck in September to pancreatic cancer as well. To hear how fondly he encompassed his moms life in the face of cancer, just reaffirms the beauty of a life lived to its fullest, not what takes it away. 🙏🏻❤️
Such a great story and such a beautiful thing... Thank you for sharing your story
well... i am finally rebooted after having to get myself together for the last 15 minutes after hearing that last line, just imagine your dieing mom pulling out the one thing she made herself from your early childhood while simontanously congratulating you on your success meanwhile dieing at the sametime, after hearing how great she was as a mom and how she went out, that is nothing less of legendary
This was a really touching story. Probably one of the best ive heard on this channel. 10/10.
I'm new to ur channel but I'm already becoming a fan! Great video!
aw man...that part at end with password and cape got me good...RIP Food Services and espionage mom, you were the superhero.
Im not crying you crying 😭😭. That mom is an OG Leyend !! 👏👏❤️
This episode was the episode I created a whole new playlist for. It’s entitled: Best Darknet Diaries. So good.
Jack, you’re brilliant. But you already new that.
Mom doing pen tests op
It's amazing what you can do with a clipboard and Hi Viz jacket 😉
John, you and Ed were some of my favorite people to listen to back in the day. Still enjoy the stuff you and your company put out these days. Thanks for all the info over the years!
Right in the feels. Jeez that was amazing.
Such an awesome story and wonderful reflection of a mother's dedication. Thank you and John Strand for sharing his story. Now where are the damn tissues.....?
One of the best stories!
That was an amazing story, thanks for sharing
Dude, wow! Incredible. Had it all. Mom is a legend.
Thanks for producing amazing content as always.
One of my favourite episodes ❤
Didn’t think I’d be getting a notification for this episode at 3am lol
WHY DID YOU HAVE TO MAKE ME TEAR UP AT WORK WITH THIS STORY 😭😭 amazing story
Very awesome story. Great memory. Legendary ending. Left me in tears. John was certainly a super hero to the girl he helped save. 🫡 Lunch lady.
YESSSS HE UPLOADS!!!
I fuckin love this story, it was seriously a rollercoaster of emotions thank you John and your mom for this tale 🙏
Just an amazing story!
Congrats
I couldn't believe it when I heard that "sasquatch" was one of their code words. Back in high school, my friends and I used the word "sasquatch" as a substitute for "beer" whenever there were adults around 🙂👍
This is one of the best things I've listened to in a long long time. I'm currently fighting cancer and when I start feeling a little less brave I'm going to try to remember to think of John's Mom.
However-- ef you guys for making me cry.
Heh
Haven't watched to the end yet, I just wanted to say how atmospheric your videos are, super well made and an amazing experience. Srsly one of the best things on youtube.
This channels amazing, I just listen to it while doing my homework
This was really good. Props to you Jack for the production quality 👏🏽👍🏽
hey jack this is the best podcast you done ever. i am proud to have heard a story from a real good guy finally
Wow! What a story. I was not expecting to tear up
Imagine failing a health exam and a pentest all at ounce
Incredible story 👏
Wow, that one actually made me cry
I love John Strand. He was one of my fave SANS instructors, and since all that, I’ve learned a lot from his BHIS training offerings. I always loved the stories of his mom. This was an amazing episode, Jack! Thank you!! 🎊
Excellent excellent episode. Heart breaking to hear of the loss of his mother but I'm sure wherever she is now she is handling it bravely and doing well.
