Grumpy old geeks, a weekly talk show hosted by Brian Schulmeister and Jason

DeFilippo discussing the finer points of what went wrong on the internet and who's to blame.

Welcome to Grumpy Old Geeks, number 145 for January 29th 2016. I am Jason DeFilippo.

And I am a big pile of virus. Oh lovely, I'm glad we're doing this remote.

Yes, I'm Brian Schulmeister. I have, I'm on day three of the flu. I don't know how I got it.

It's one of those things like a, people say that it's good to get out and see people. I call bullshit.

Yeah, I was out and about a bit this week and somebody infected me and I've been just a sweaty

and bed for two days straight. Mm nice. Awesome, right? Lying in your own juices.

Yes, but I have my hot water with lemon and honey, so let's get this done.

All right. Well, I think we need to talk about the elephant in the room.

Like the curse is real, Jason. The curse is real. I unfortunately seem to have killed Abe

Vagoda. That is very sad. That website, you know, he had one job. He'd left data right away.

I checked immediately. Yeah, no, AbeVagoda.com. Yeah, I didn't keep up with it.

Took him a good 15 to 20 minutes. See, I wonder if he had a Google alert center. How he,

how he was, I wonder who's he had had something AbeVagoda.com had one job, one job and didn't make it.

Yeah, no, sad that he passed and creepy that we seem to be killing people left right in center.

I know. Everybody's keep telling us we have to have a Bieber and Kardashian episode soon.

Yeah, I know. Actually, the only reason I knew he passed is because we got

andundated with tweets and emails and posts immediately. I know everybody's like stop it. Stop

killing people. Yeah, well, we'll miss Abe. Yeah, definitely. So let's talk about our,

some of the technical issues we've had and just apologize to everybody who had to re-download

everything. Yeah, that hit me too. I have two copies of everything in my iTunes now.
