| 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 |
| 0:10.3 | who's to blame. |
| 0:15.6 | Welcome to Grumpy old geeks, I'm Jason DeFilippo. And I'm Brian Schultmeister. I |
| 0:20.4 | have reached the stage of coronavirus where I desperately need a haircut and |
| 0:26.0 | shaving no longer seems necessary. That's about it, man. I'm like I looked at my |
