| 0:00.0 | Grumpy old geeks, a weekly talk show hosted by Brian Schultmeister and Jason |
| 0:06.7 | DeFilippo discussing the finer points of what went wrong on the internet and who's to blame. |
| 0:16.5 | Welcome to Grumpy Old Geeks, I'm Jason DeFilippo. And I'm Brian Schultmeister. |
| 0:22.0 | No, I'm not fucking again. Well, let me tell you a little story. It was a long weekend and I |
| 0:28.3 | believe on Sunday evening, a friend of the show and a friend, Dr. David Teeter, wrote me and |
| 0:34.4 | said, Chen had gotten him a brand new Apple Watch 5. And he wondered if he could connect with me |
| 0:42.6 | on the activity app to get a little motivation. And normally I'm really good with that sort of |
| 0:47.0 | stuff. So I was like, sure, of course. And about 25 minutes later, my son sneezed into my eyeballs. |
| 0:53.1 | And then I woke up. And I woke up the next morning with the cold from hell. |

| 1:32.4 | But if you like, I can add you back. But because it gets me motivated too, I like having competition. |
| 1:38.1 | Well, feel free to add me back. I don't mind. Okay. Well, I'll have Apple competition |
| 1:43.0 | on the Apple Watch. And I've already got work week hustle competition on the Fitbit. So I don't know. |
| 1:48.0 | I'm out of gadgets to attach to me. I don't think I have. I'm sure we can find you more. |
| 1:54.0 | Yes. The new activity suppository coming soon from. I'm telling you to put this up your butt. |
| 2:00.1 | Speaking of things coming out of people's butts though. Yes. I saw this one and I just shook my head. |
