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 |
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, |
