| 0:00.0 | 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. |

| 0:20.8 | recording at night, which we have not done for a long time and I know from my messages with you |
| 0:25.5 | earlier that you have some beers. I have a lugga-needis Maximus perfectly chilled by my side. |
