| 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 |
| 0:10.5 | who's to blame. |
| 0:16.0 | Welcome to Grumpy Old Geeks, I'm Jason DeFilippo. And I'm Brian Schultmeister. Brian, |
| 0:21.0 | I have to start the show off with an apology to the world. I'm sorry for killing |
| 0:25.1 | T.P. You're the person that has caused the can only buy one pack ban. I see, Brian, |
