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.
0:16.2	Welcome to Grumpy Old Geeks, I'm Jason DeFilippo. And I'm Brian Schultmeister. Brian,
0:21.0	we have a little notice for the listeners. We're gonna be moving our drink up
0:24.8	because you're going on vacation. Of a sort, yes. As much as one can
