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 July 1st, 2016. I am Jason DeFilippo and I'm Brian Schultmeister.

0:23.7

What's Shaggin B? Not much. Oh, you got me up super early in the morning for our later

0:29.2

segments of security. So I'm somewhat shell shocked. Yeah, well, I was shocked that you actually

0:35.3

showed up. You know, I'm just preparing for my future by being up at five in the morning. So

0:40.6

yeah, at least five in the morning. You should have just stayed up all night to do it. That would

0:45.2

have been better. I know. So I noticed something this week. I got a couple Amazon deliveries and I

1:34.2

magnetic stickers that they slap on the side. Yeah. So they're probably just covering up the

1:38.3

enterprise in a logo. I guess I mean, I figured that's a dumb cross promotional possibility there. Why

1:44.5

not to take some bucks from enterprise? I know. At least get the free vans. Yeah, it's weird because

1:49.2

like the guy I talked to wouldn't tell me who he worked for. I'm like, do you work for Amazon or

1:53.2

do you work for UPS? He's like, I can't tell you man. You're goddamn business. Here's your package

1:57.6
