| 0:06.8 | DeFilippo discussing the finer points of what went wrong on the internet and who's to blame. |
| 0:16.4 | Welcome to Grumpy old geeks. I'm Jason DeFilippo. I'm Brian Schultmeister. Good morning. Good morning, Brian. |
| 0:22.5 | In a happy birthday to our mutual friend Brian Blondell. Yes, very happy birthday. He was up |
