| 0:06.7 | DeFilippo discussing the finer points of what went wrong on the internet and who's to blame. |
| 0:30.0 | Welcome to Grumpy old geeks, I'm Jason DeFilippo and I'm Brian Schulmeister. So the little song you just heard is kind of what |
| 0:52.8 | Brian and I were feeling yesterday when we were talking about yesterday. We do this show or not. Well, I mean, |
| 0:58.2 | it's been going on for a while, but yes. So but against all odds, we're here again. Yeah, I'm not entirely sure why. I'm very |
