| 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. |
| 0:16.4 | Welcome to Grumpy old geeks on Jason DeFilippo and I'm Brian Schultmeister. |
| 0:22.7 | So we have a fire NATO. Yep, because 2020 can't be more 2020 than it is. |
| 0:28.7 | Yes, the National Weather Service is issued America's first ever warning for a fire tornado. |
| 0:34.0 | The Reno Office of the National Weather Service, Ward Northern California, of a fiery tornado |
| 0:38.8 | on Saturday that had sprung up near a large fast-moving wildfire in the Sierra. |
| 0:43.5 | For the first time in history, a tornado warning has been issued for a likely fire tornado |
| 0:47.7 | Washington Post-Mediaologist Matthew Capucci reported, these are not fire worlds. This is a |

| 1:35.8 | I just saw heat we did. There is an incredibly large anomaly in our magnetic field called the |
| 1:43.2 | that that scientists are extremely concerned by that they're tracking. |
| 1:47.2 | It's that's been going on for a while though. Yes, I read about that. |
