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

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

Welcome to Grumpy Old Geeks, I'm Jason DeFilippo.

And I'm Brian Schultmeister. Well Jason, have you, have you been exing?

What's going on? I don't know, man. Yeah, that's something up right there.
