| 0:00.0 | Grumpy old geeks, a weekly talk show hosted by Brian Schulmeister and Jason |
| 0:06.7 | DeFilippo discussing the finer points of what went wrong on the internet and |
| 0:10.3 | who's to blame. |
| 0:16.0 | Welcome to Grumpy Old Geeks, I'm Jason DeFilippo. And I'm Brian Schulmeister. |
| 0:20.5 | Jason, I've decided to use this platform of ours for a cloud cloud |
