| 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. |
| 0:17.0 | Welcome to Grumpy Old Geeks, I'm Jason DeFilippo. And I'm Brian Schultmeister. Brian, I thought |
| 0:21.8 | today we would do a little follow up at the end of the show and talk about Picard in the good |
| 0:27.2 | place without spoilers. So what do you think? That's how good? Did not get to see the good place |
| 0:32.5 | last night. No, what made me start watching that goddamn show? |
| 0:40.9 | Hour and a half runtime. It wasn't a full hour and a half who was only an hour and eight minutes |
| 0:46.4 | because the end of the show was, well, then yeah, take out the commercials and at the end, |
| 0:52.1 | they have a roundtable with all the cast and Seth Meier. Well, see, I would have no interest |
| 0:57.1 | in watching that party either. So you know, I didn't need there. I was going to turn it off and |
| 1:00.8 | I'm like, yeah, put this much time into it. Let's see what they have to say. It was actually pretty |
| 1:04.9 | touching. All right. Well, let me let me go ahead and make a counter suggestion to your suggestion |
| 1:10.9 | about having media candy at the end of this show. Let's leave media candy to media candy. We will |
| 1:15.6 | do that on Tuesday and it will come out on Wednesday. You know, we don't need to do a Picard wrap-up. |
| 1:20.8 | Will Wheaton's got that covered? And I didn't get a chance to see the good place yet. So I will watch |
| 1:26.0 | at some point over the weekend. Okay. Well, I am worried, but I did see your tweets about it because |
| 1:33.2 | in my opinion, the good place perfectly wrapped up last episode. In fact, when my wife and I were |
| 1:39.4 | watching it, we turned it off and went, boy, that was just a really good show. I'm glad they ended |
| 1:43.6 | it that way only to find out that there's another hour and a half to go. So I terrified that |
| 1:48.3 | they're going to screw it up, but according to you, they didn't. So I will look forward to seeing it |
| 1:52.0 | this weekend. Okay. Okay. Get on that so we can talk about it. But yes, Ronald D. Moore had |
| 1:57.2 | nothing to do with the end of the good place, which was my tweet. Because that was my comment to you |
