What an irony! The week Matt and Rich invite managed security provider Rory Sanchez to join them as guest host there's no security news to discuss. There is, however, a bunch of news from Ingram Micro to talk about, not to mention a big shakeup atop Datto, a big year for D&H, and holiday decorations for the geek in your life. Plus, it turns out Rory does a pretty decent Mr. T impression. Bonus!

What kind of sandwich do you see when you look in the mirror? Something to ponder while you listen to Matt, Rich, and guest host Joshua Liberman rap about the news from IT Glue's GlueCon event, SolarWinds MSP's outsourced SOC offering, a new cloud management platform from Linksys, a review of the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon (6th Generation), and more.

Oh, and the correct answer is "foot-long Chicken & Bacon Ranch Melt." Not sure why, but it is.

What's your retirement dream? Does it involve bathing on the beach in a big bowl of bright red gelatin? If you answered yes, you have something in common with Manuel Palachuk, managed services expert extraordinaire and Matt and Rich's guest co-host this week. Listen in as the three of them discuss Kaseya's blockbuster acquisition of RapidFire Tools, a new IoT solution from Ingram Micro, new SMB storage arrays from Dell EMC, a free forthcoming data retrieval service from Buffalo Americas, Manuel's "agile service delivery" methodology for MSPs, and more.

The "more" part includes soaking in Jello on the beach, by the way. We'd say it made sense at the time, but frankly we're less than sure it did.

What’s your retirement dream? Does it involve bathing on the beach in a big bowl of bright red gelatin? If you answered yes, you have something in common with Manuel Palachuk, managed services expert extraordinaire and Matt and Rich’s guest co-host this week.

Joined by veteran channel pro and all-around industry expert Dave Seibert, Matt and Rich chew over the news about Kaseya's acquisition plans, Hewlett Packard Enterprise's partner program updates, Dell's new IoT surveillance solution, a documentation product from RapidFire Tools, and Microsoft's new rules for Cloud Solution Provider program members who bill direct.

Then your three hosts pay a visit to Dave's tech museum, instead of Matt's, for a reunion with a classic Silicon Graphics O2 workstation and discuss Matt's tech pick for the week: HP Inc.'s Z6 workstation.

Somewhere in there, Rich and Dave explain to Matt that GreenLake only sounds like a body of water. It's actually a cloud platform. Please make a note of it.

This week, Matt and Captain Serious Rich are joined by Continuum CEO Michael George for a live discussion about the "M&A frenzy" sweeping the managed services market and why delivering security services will be the difference between success and extinction for MSPs in the years ahead.

Plus, your hosts have news for you about StorageCraft's latest solutions, Arcserve's updated partner program, an enhanced dark web scanning tool from Breach Secure Now!, a composable infrastructure solution from Dell EMC, and more. Listen up if you don't want to wind up as obsolete as one of those mimeograph contraptions.
