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. And I'm Brian Schultmeister. Spring has |
0:21.6 | sprung in Toronto Jason. Okay, what does that mean? There's no fucking snow. Okay, it's still cold, |
0:28.0 | but there's no snow. And what I've discovered is that means it's also construction season. Our |
0:33.2 | neighbor is rebuilding their deck, which involves tearing it down completely and building a new one. |
0:40.4 | So hopefully it won't be too loud. Well, we've also, I also happen to live very close to High Park, |

1:39.1 | That's it. That's it. Thank you so much, mother nature. Yes. For all of it. |
