| 0:00.0 | Grumpy old geeks, a weekly talk show hosted by Brian Schultmeister and Jason |
| 0:06.8 | Diffilippo discussing the finer points of what went wrong on the internet and who's to blame. |
| 0:16.1 | Welcome to Grumpy old geeks, I'm Jason Diffilippo. And I'm Brian Schultmeister. |
| 0:20.6 | Things have opened up. I went into the office a couple times this week. I went to a restaurant |
| 0:26.8 | with friends and had beer. Wow. I know. I know it's no big deal to those of you and Los Angeles |
| 0:35.6 | because I've heard that's just been open and people have moved on a long time ago and everything's |
| 0:41.2 | back as once was, but it's new here. I don't know what you're Los Angeles you're talking about |

| 1:16.3 | pointed out that my quote about health needing food badly and wizard needs food badly was from |
| 1:20.8 | the game gauntlet. I could not remember the name of the game, but that was it. I remember playing it |
| 1:25.2 | at Disneyland. It was a four-seater and four people could play at once. Fantasy game is a lot of fun. |
| 1:31.4 | Actually, probably the last video game I played. I remember seeing it at the arcade. I never got |
| 1:36.4 | into it though. It was one of the few that I didn't get into with a very few. A little NFT follow-up. |
| 1:42.5 | I mean, this is just bordering on comical now. Finally, Reuters is on on board. They've been getting |
| 1:49.5 | better with their NFT coverage. They have an article this week called Unreal Demand, |
| 1:55.6 | Irregular Sales Worth Billions Fireup Wild NFT Markets. It comes back to exactly six months ago. |
