Grumpy old geeks, a weekly talk show hosted by Brian Schultmeister and Jason

0:06.8

DeFilippo discussing the finer points of what went wrong on the internet and who's to blame.

0:16.6

Welcome to Grumpy old geeks, I'm Jason DeFilippo. And I'm Brian Schultmeister. Happy 10-year anniversary, Brian.

0:23.1

Oh boy, 10 years of doing this. 10 years. All right, well, let's wrap it up.

0:28.8

Show's over. Okay, see you're ready done. Take a fucking fork in it.

0:33.2

Yep, that's a good run better than most did not get the Joe Rogan money. So we're out. Yeah,

0:39.1

seriously, seriously. Where's uh, yeah, where's the damn paycheck?

0:43.2

Problem is we're not racist enough, Jason. I know we're misogynistic or...

0:55.6

1:32.1

touched about, talked about Silicon Valley bank because of the timing because it happened so fast.

1:37.4

It started basically when we turned off our microphones last week. And it was done well before

1:43.6

we started to record again the following week. So we never really talked about it. Yeah,

1:48.0

I also didn't give that much. Yeah, I mean, I did like this article, though, that kind of gives

1:52.5

a little bit of a wrap up on it. It's called Why No One Cryed for Silicon Valley bank's customers.

1:58.0

And the reason I like this article is it does talk a little bit about what we've talked about
