| 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 who's to blame. |
| 0:16.5 | Welcome to Grumpy old geeks, I'm Jason DeFilippo. And I'm Brian Schultmeister. |
| 0:21.2 | Brian, let's talk about cryptocurrency for a moment. Can we? |
| 0:23.7 | Must we? Must we? We must. Okay. People got his fans ripped off because he had a very |
| 0:29.3 | insecure account way to go beeps. That one was kind of funny. The Seth Green one is the one |
| 0:35.3 | that's making the news right now. I'm sure you've seen that. It's kind of hard to. Yeah, |
| 0:40.8 | something about he was going to base a show on some NFT that he owned and it got stolen or something |
| 0:46.3 | like I so just don't give a shit about NFTs anymore. I really just like if you're trying to |
| 0:54.6 | base your business model or your finances on NFT, you're a fucking moron. And you're an asshole. |

| 1:33.8 | If only you still couldn't base a show on a drawing that anybody can look at. Well, he had the |
| 1:40.4 | rights to it. That was the thing when he had the NFTs. And only had the rights to purchase a different |
| 1:45.1 | fucking stupid thing to base it on. I think it's already been produced as the problem. |
| 1:49.6 | Which I bet is what happened. Yeah. But they can fix it. Come on. Yeah. I mean, you know, |
| 1:56.8 | how different is this from when you do your entire show, but you forgot to buy the domain? |
