| 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. |
| 0:16.7 | Welcome to Grumpy old geeks on Jason DeFilippo. And I'm Brian Schultmeister. Have you had an NFT week? |
| 0:22.8 | Yeah, let's have some NFT follow talk. It's the only thing out there in |
| 0:27.6 | tech news this week and general news in general. You know something's jumped the shark when Lindsay |
| 0:34.4 | Lowhand is releasing an fts. Yeah, no, I did a lot of research on NFTs this week because I did |
| 0:41.4 | an episode of Lockhead on Marketing that we reported that comes out. Same day this show comes out |

| 1:47.7 | we're thinking about, which is, you know, the Kings of Leon releasing a song or something or |
| 1:52.5 | Grimes using her artwork with dubiously licensed music behind it. Not entirely. You know, as you get |
| 2:00.6 | older, your professional circles change a bit. My circles used to be the musicians and the |
| 2:05.8 | rhodes and things of that nature. Now it's the music lawyers who are all scratching their heads at |
