| 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 and I'm Grumpy. |
| 0:21.6 | No, okay. Hopefully it's just such a, it's such a, I don't want to be sexist, but it is a man-woman thing. |
| 0:31.7 | My wife has taken over our upstairs office. She's working from home now. I'm actually going |
| 0:37.2 | into an office. I've started my job. So we've got, you know, we've got a Logitech mouse up here |
| 0:42.6 | and we've got an Apple keyboard up here. Now the Apple keyboard I can understand, you know, there's |
| 0:46.9 | just, there's just an indicator on your screen that tells you if the battery is low, but the Logitech |

| 1:43.1 | dashes. And then, you know, she came over and sat down and showed me the app and showed me how much |
| 1:48.9 | money she makes, which is I, I was stunned. I was flat out. Absolutely stunned. She pulled it in about |
| 1:57.3 | five grand a month. If you hustle, you can do it. Yeah. And she's hustling so much that she, |
| 2:03.6 | and she enjoys it. She actually really, really has fun doing it. So I'm like, hmm, I have lots of |
