| 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. |
| 0:20.5 | Normally 8am recording times are kind of ideal for us but there was a bit of news that |
| 0:27.3 | broke before I woke up. Take your pick. Yeah, happened really caught up on all this. We'll see if |
| 0:35.2 | you were up a bit before me Jason. So there's not enough coffee in the world right now to process |
| 0:41.6 | everything that I need to process. But I'll give you a two second rundown here. Here's what's |
