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.

0:16.3

Welcome to Grumpy old geeks. I'm Jason DeFilippo and I'm Brian Schultmeister.

0:19.8

We've got a little bit of follow up on our Wapper deal, the one sent deal from Burger King.

0:25.9

As soon as we recorded the last episode, I went in the house and I'm sitting down,

0:31.3

had a glass of wine sitting with the roommate and she had the news on, up pops a story about a man

0:36.8

who tried to use the app to get his one sent Wapper deal and was eventually charged over a thousand

0:42.2

dollars for his meal. Right. Well, I'm sure that this was just a very stupid cashier error.

talk about porn on the internet for just a second because we discussed it last week. How we never

1:34.1

discussed porn on the internet. And I thought about it because it was trying to kind of drive me

1:39.6

a little crazy. I'm like, why don't we talk about it? Oh, you know, why? Because there has been no

1:44.3

technological innovation in pornography in a long time. Now we talked about telling

1:49.8

it to Dildonix a little bit and just kind of joky stuff. But yeah, yeah, the porn got taken over
