| 0:00.0 | Grumpy old geeks, a weekly talk show hosted by Brian Schulmeister 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, I'm Jason DeFilippo. And I'm Brian Schulmeister. Oh, not low energy |
| 0:22.0 | Brian Schulmeister. Welcome back Brian. Well, I mean, that's a bit much, but I did wake up. I did |
| 0:27.9 | wake up exceptionally early this morning. It's a busy day over here. So I got up at like 530, |
| 0:33.6 | made myself a pot of coffee. Well, you and I run very different schedules. My 530 is the |

| 1:16.3 | Yeah, speaking of unprecedented times, a little bit of follow up here. We've got some bad news. |

| 1:26.2 | scientists say tests have showed a man returning from Spain in August had a different strain |
| 1:30.5 | of the coronavirus than the one he'd previously been infected with in March. So yeah, you can get it |
| 1:36.2 | twice. The gift that keeps on giving. We kind of knew this was true, but this is the first |
| 1:41.1 | somewhat proven case. I say somewhat proven because it was the University of Hong Kong. So people |
| 1:46.6 | are going to say, those damn Chinese, but it was the University of Hong Kong people. It's okay. |
| 1:51.8 | These people know what they're doing. It's not really China. Yeah, so this is pretty straightforward. |
