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

0:06.8

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

0:16.7

Welcome to Grumpy old geeks for April 1st, 2016. I am Jason DeFilippo and I'm Brian Schultmeister.

0:23.7

And unlike the rest of the internet today, we're not going to play any pranks.

0:26.9

None whatsoever because this is the day the internet breaks.

0:30.6

Yes, it's kind of horrible out there. So anyways, I want to thank everybody for coming to our

1:27.1

1:30.8

Oh, really? Yes, they put a minion's mic drop animated gift that you could send as through Gmail.

1:37.4

Unfortunately, because of their UI, they replaced the normal send one send button or the send

1:43.5

right next to it, which I've sent an archive button with the send plus mic drop. So people at work
