| 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. |
| 0:16.7 | Welcome to Grumpy old geeks, I'm Jason DeFilippo. And I'm Brian Schultmeister. Good morning. |
| 0:23.2 | Is it? What I don't know. I know it's morning. I don't know what day it is. I couldn't tell you what |
| 0:28.2 | month it is. I'm pretty sure it's still 2020, but that's about all I got. |
| 0:31.8 | I was up till one in the morning talking to a girl on the phone. Like I was a goddamn teenager. |
| 0:37.5 | Well, I mean, that is dating right now, or at least it should be. We'll get into that in a second. |
| 0:43.3 | Pretty much it, man. I felt I literally felt like a teenager and she's just like, oh, my |
| 0:48.0 | edible kicked in and I have to go to bed. And I'm like, okay, we are adults. Okay, so there is |

| 1:18.2 | fucking doctor and it took a pandemic. It took a pandemic to get me to the doctor just to get |
| 1:24.0 | my blood work done. And I tell you what, virtual doctor visits suck. They suck. I got my new primary |
| 1:32.8 | care physician and I'm sitting there in the chat room waiting, waiting, waiting, and then I finally |
| 1:37.5 | hear a ding on my phone and it's a voicemail saying, hey, I was calling you and I'm in the chat room |
| 1:45.7 | and you're not there. And I'm like, I've been here for 20 minutes before the visit. Like you said |
| 1:50.0 | on the website and I didn't realize that doctors don't actually use caller ID because that makes |
| 1:57.4 | sense because they don't want people booking them all the time. But my phone is set up to not register |
| 2:03.6 | calls from caller, like somebody with no caller ID. And so yeah, you still have to wait your turn, |
| 2:10.1 | but there's no highlights magazine like in the old days. And oh, God, what a pain in the ass. |
