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

0:10.3

who's to blame.

0:15.9

Welcome to Garumpy Old Geeks, I'm Jason DeFilippo. And I'm Brian Schultmeister.

0:20.5

Quick little follow up on the new quote unquote ad system that I mentioned last week.

0:26.3

That's harder than it sounds and more expensive than it sounds.

0:31.1

And this has been a kind of a really rough week for time. Day 233 sober today by the way.

0:37.6

Woohoo. But as a lot of people know, I'm in a 12 step program and I did step five this week,

1:46.5

it's not worth the effort. No, the juice isn't worth the squeeze as you like to say.

1:51.8

Yes. Yes. No, you know what? This is going to be, uh, this is going to be me getting really,
