Grumpy Old Geeks
Jason DeFillippo & Brian Schulmeister with Dave Bittner
We dissect the tech news train wrecks of the week, calling out what went wrong and who’s to blame. Think of this podcast as if Kurt Cobain threw down with Tom from MySpace, Elon Musk, and Mark Zuckerberg in a back alley brawl. No mercy, no filter—if tech had a walk of shame, this would be it.

89: Better Safe than Sony
In the last full show of the year the guys take on Sony and their cowardice. Oprah is going full Amanda Palmer. Rappers are morons. And the best gift you can get this year is a box of bullshit. Happy holidays everyone and thank you for listening!

88: I Want My Four Dollars!
Jason dives into the sharing economy with bizarre results. Brian has never had sex on acid. Sony is still hosed. The Newsroom gets weird. Jason can't find a cuddle buddy. Brian finds the best website on the Internet. Ever!

87: A Reasonably Sized Poo
The true purpose of Twitter has been discovered and it's unsurprisingly about poo. San Francisco moves to Silicon Beach. Bring on man-poo beach. Security is off the hook. A bunch of new podcasts to check out. And Jason finally gives up on the FitBit.

86: Recycle Bin Zero
Still full from Thanksgiving the guys cover topics such as the new Star Wars trailer, deleting becoming obsolete, the death of ethics in journalism, the lack of transparency in Spotfy, Kickstarter pivoting to a storefront and more. Pass the leftovers...

85: You and I are Pilgrims of the Grid
In the strangest episode to date, Jason buries the tin-foil hat & Brian takes up the mantle of Grumpy Prime. Uber Incompetence is on the rise. WTF was Mattel thinking? Podcasting renaissance is balderdash. No sparks actually fly over Amanda f'in Palmer.

84: No Talent Ass Clown
Tara "Tiger" Brown joins us to talk about her new project and super fun stuff. No, she is NOT the no talent ass clown of which this episode is named. You get one guess who that is. But humanity did land on a comet! And Brian still reads vampire novels.

83: The Grump Awakens
This is a very long episode where we cover a metric-ton of epic stuff. That said I'm extremely late for an appointment so just listen to it ok? Thanks!

82: I Can Haz Ubercorn?
Brian hammers home some more bad news about the sharing economy and Uber. Many people are in search of the elusive Ubercorn. Why is hash-tagging done so poorly. Anonymity online is a fools errand. More books, podcasts, and even an app!

81: Congratulations... Now Get Off My Internet!
Fur flies in this action packed episode where two people, without actual fur, go fisticuffs over the future of social networks. Astute business advice from a chronically broke dude. The 'Horribleification' of the Internet. And the music biz is still dead.
