Summary

We're moving to Germany, on a plane with a parachute, taking selfies, reading Kindle Unlimited, listening to Neil Gaiman's sexy voice on a Pono while playing with Jason's blue balls! Also, Uber, Ayn Rand and the big fat lie.* *Due to a slight Skype error we lost the first sentence of Media Candy. The band we're talking about in the beginning of the segment is Kraftwerk.

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

0:06.8

DeFilippo discussing the finer points of what went wrong on the internet and

0:10.3

who's to blame. Good morning Brian. How are you? We are good. After a few

0:18.4

Skype foibles, we're back on the air and ready to rock and roll. Yes we are. The

0:23.1

point of failure remains Skype. Hopefully somebody will come along and make

0:26.5

something better than this someday. I know. I was hoping FaceTime HD audio was

going to be our savior, but that's just as bad. Yes it is. Go Apple. Oh well

what are you going to do? Obviously these things are not made by Germans. We'll

I was about to say it's not just me. No yes it's me too, but but I know you and I

immediately we open up the new dock and start adding stuff to it and unfortunately

1:23.5

by the time the next show rolls around half that stuff is stale and dead. So I'm thinking

1:27.4

ah how about we just like let's take a vacation after we do the show. Let's take a

1:32.6

vacation and relax a bit and then pick back up on Tuesday. Wait you mean like actually

1:37.3

have a weekend? Have a weekend. I know. Isn't it silly? Do the thing that we keep
