| 0:16.4 | Welcome to Grumpy Old Geeks, I'm Jason DeFilippo. And I'm Brian Schultmeister. |
| 0:20.4 | I had a little visitor yesterday on International Dog Day. |
| 0:24.8 | My roommate was leaving and she texted me frantically saying, |
| 0:27.6 | come outside, come outside, there's a dog loose. So I'd go outside and I'm like, don't |
