| 0:00.0 | Grumpy old geeks, a weekly talk show hosted by Brian Schultmeister and Jason |
| 0:06.7 | 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 on Jason DeFilippo. And I'm Brian Schultmeister. Jason, |
| 0:21.2 | I have got what is relatively typical for people to get when they are in sub 30 degree weather |
| 0:27.6 | with rain and snow, a bit of a sniffle. In COVID times, I might as well be a leper right now. |
| 0:34.8 | Oh yeah, yeah, you can't be going out like that. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, I have been |
| 0:39.3 | locked down at home even though I just had a sniffle for like one day and yeah, I'm not going |
| 0:44.4 | anywhere, no, no, no, you, and you just shut everything down, right? Because better safe than |

| 1:25.7 | very specific and it's usually only in the morning. But again, you know, be the good guy. Be safe. |
| 1:32.3 | Be like Bob as the memes go. Yeah, I think I think what people need to realize right now, it's at |
| 1:37.1 | least in LA what I'm trying to get people to understand is there are two different reasons to leave |
| 1:41.9 | the house. One is you want to leave the house. You want to go see family. You want to go see friends. |
| 1:47.6 | You want to go do something really fucking stupid. Then on the other hand, there's need to leave the |
| 1:53.0 | house. You need food. You need toilet paper. You need baby formula. Do not confuse the two. |
