DeFilippo discussing the finer points of what went wrong on the internet and

0:10.5

who's to blame.

0:16.3

Welcome to Grumpy Old Geeks out, Jason DeFilippo. And I'm Brian Schultmeister. I had a good weekend

0:21.6

0:27.3

Why didn't go out of town? But I left the house. So yeah, congratulations.
