| 0:24.6 | Welcome to Grumpy old geeks. I'm Jason DeFilippo and I'm Brian Schultmeister. |
| 0:28.4 | We were going to have an AirPods Pro review from MXV this episode but unfortunately he got snowed |
| 0:33.7 | in yesterday because apparently the the white devil is falling in Chicago. So I wasn't about to stick |
| 0:41.6 | around and wait for his review because I you know I got the the Bezos pods right and I've been working |
| 0:48.4 | with those for a while and yeah not so much not so much I they're good for certain things. |
| 0:56.9 | When you do want noise canceling and really good audio quality but for day to day not so much. |
| 1:03.1 | That's why I skipped on the AirPods Pro because I don't like things all the way in my ear canal anymore. |

| 1:45.2 | time which will be nice. I haven't tested it yet but I've got some calls later today and we'll see |
| 1:49.7 | because yeah my regular AirPods now. I'm like hello this is that's it that's all I get. Yeah |
| 1:58.6 | yeah I just said I caved in. I'm like the AirPods the AirPods Pro are just too expensive and I |
| 2:03.0 | don't want them shoved in my ear. If I want noise canceling I've got the the Bezos pods now |
| 2:08.9 | which do sound surprisingly extraordinarily good. Excellent well I mean that is good but I'm sad |
| 2:15.3 | to hear it's not a good review that means I will not be getting a pair anytime soon. |
