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

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

Welcome to Grumpy old geeks number 155 for April 8th. Was it 2016? I always forget the year.

I know it's tax time man. I know I'm Jason DeFilippo and I'm Brian Schultmeister.

taxes yay. We'll get to we'll get to taxes shortly. I guess we will.

Big thanks to Chris and Seth from the Grime Life podcast for having us on this week. That was kind

of fun. It was actually really fun. It's nice to talk to somebody other than just you.

Yeah, it is. And it's also nice to be able to say what I want to say without having a

grandpa Brian always scowling at me when I say something inappropriate.

That's true. They do veer to the inappropriate over there. I like it for that. So good

times. Yeah, thanks a lot guys. It was a lot of fun. And thanks for all the massive amounts of

tweets and retweets and everything that you guys are doing, which annoys the hell out of me because

it makes me go look at my Twitter. Oh poor baby. People actually like you. I never asked to be liked

as our comments section will show. Yes indeed. Yeah. So anyways, we mentioned on up to speed,

which is our daily thing that we're doing. And I came back to this week and that the NFL is

basically going to be streaming on Twitter, whatever the hell that means because Twitter is well

known for being a video service. Well, there's Periscope. Yeah. Anyway, Twitter won the rights to

stream the NFL for whatever reason. Well, paid for the rights didn't win the rights. And that made

me start to think, what about what's going on with that NFL tax exempt status and low and be hold,

they are actually no longer tax exempt. And you would wonder why they would want to do this.

Well, basically the economic value of the exemption wasn't worth the political and PR headaches

that has been creating since we all discovered this. And that's pretty much the only reason.
