| 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. |
| 0:16.5 | Welcome to Grumpy old geeks, I'm Jason DeFilippo. And I'm Brian Schultmeister. We are recording |
| 0:21.1 | again at night and I was hoping to hear your special night voice Jason. No, no, it is about 105 |
| 0:27.2 | degrees here at 8 p.m. in the Valley in California, which means that the air conditioner is running |
| 0:32.2 | in the house so I can talk like a normal person now. Very nice, very nice, okay. Well, I have to say, |

| 1:39.6 | 49 years. And yeah, it's time to stop. Doctors orders apparently. I'm very glad that you managed |
| 1:48.0 | to make it into the doctor because I don't know how much longer anybody's going to have medical care. |
| 1:52.8 | So it's a good thing that you're there. And you know, there's no running from the truth, |
