| 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 |
| 0:10.3 | who's to blame. |
| 0:16.0 | Welcome to GOG on Jason D. Oh my god, we're a rap show. That's right. |
| 0:23.2 | What's got to do with you? TV wraps. I was actually going more for the |
| 0:26.0 | morning DJ vibe feel. That's even worse. Okay. Well, we had a bit of a |
| 0:33.8 | shaker here in California. I don't know if you felt it Jason. It was much |
| 0:37.7 | closer to me. I guess it was centered near LAX and I'm not too far from there. |

| 1:13.1 | whole reason for me being there in the first place. And I think it took an |
| 1:16.9 | earthquake for me to realize I don't know why I'm on Facebook anymore. The |
| 1:21.8 | algorithm has now become so useless. One of the things I enjoyed about the |
| 1:25.7 | occasional earthquakes and you know, one can say enjoyed about earthquakes |
| 1:29.5 | because we haven't had the big one yet and California hasn't fallen into the |
| 1:32.7 | ocean. But at least these little shakes as I've always enjoyed the post-earth |
