| 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. |
| 0:16.4 | Welcome to Grumpy old geeks. I'm a very tired Jason DeFilippo. And I'm Brian Schultmeister. What's up? |
| 0:22.6 | Oh, the house. The house is almost done. Almost done. This is the first day when I've not had a contractor |
| 0:29.6 | in my home in like a month. So last night was glorious. I got to finish the last 20 minutes of the first episode of the |
| 0:38.1 | expanse. Ah, I've actually finished the expanse. And verdict is? |
| 0:43.7 | I loved it. The verdict is I'm sad I'm going to have to wait like two years for another episode. |
| 0:49.4 | Well, you can read the books to hold you over. That's true. And they're long enough that I will probably just |
| 0:53.4 | catch up in time for the new episode. So yeah, it was a really great show. Yeah, a little bit of |

| 1:35.4 | It's not possible. It's not possible. There's no coming back, man. There's no coming back from |
| 1:40.5 | episode 11. Oh, that bad. Oh, oh, man, it's that bad. Lovely. Well, I finally saw the Downton Abbey |
| 1:48.8 | movie. The wife and I finally had enough time to sit down and see it all in one go, even though |
| 1:53.0 | it pushed our bedtimes a little bit. So yeah, that was, it was beautiful. And I did enjoy it. |
| 1:59.8 | Of course, I enjoyed it because, you know, it's a character piece and all of that. And the, |
| 2:04.6 | you know, the music was the swelled gloriously. The landscapes were beautiful. The women were |
