Grumpy Old Geeks

A no-holds-barred show about the Internet and how it's affecting our lives for good or bad. Hosts Jason DeFillippo & Brian Schulmeister have over 40 years of online experience and aren't afraid to tell it like it is.

90: Back in the Saddle Again ・03.01.2015

Ravaged by the elements and in-laws the guys rally to get back on the horse and discuss grammar atrocities, the Lizard Squad foibles, WSJ making silly moves, car radios under attack in Sweden, why middle-men are a bad idea, and other silliness.

2014 Year End Special ・26.12.2014

In their final show of the year, Brian and Jason wrap up with their own version of the holiday listicle and thank you's to the listeners. Jason's noise gate is still broken so holiday apologies.

89: Better Safe than Sony ・19.12.2014

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 b******t. Happy holidays everyone and thank you for listening!

88: I Want My Four Dollars! ・12.12.2014

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 ・06.12.2014

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 ・28.11.2014

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 ・21.11.2014

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 ・14.11.2014

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 ・07.11.2014

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? ・31.10.2014

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! ・24.10.2014

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.

80: Mmmmm, Cloud Bacon! ・17.10.2014

Yosemite upgrade hell. Pros and cons of too much tech. Unplugging for fun, profit, and sanity. Breech fatigue is now a thing plus hacks of the week. Ed Snowden's drinking habits and new film career. Good books and music biz epitaphs.

79: A Smorgasbord of Stupid ・10.10.2014

In their best episode yet, we discuss the NFL and not paying their taxes, flying cars, drone racing, San Francisco doing something right, Bugzilla, Silk Road, the open source security farce, big social data, Twin Peaks, and even more goodies!

78: Turn On, Tune In, Drop Out. ・03.10.2014

77: Ello Clarice... ・26.09.2014

Big fingers required. Apple just won't stop screwing up. Facebook gets drones. The great gay exodus and the future of Ello. Bash is broken and nerds everywhere pull an all-nighter. Kevin Mitnick is cashing in. And oh so much more...

75: Applesauce Bitch ・11.09.2014

Best value at a bar. Ask A Geek: why we don't build apps, why we work on the web, and what's up with our personal projects. How to handle getting hacked. Pizza and domestic violence. They love crowdfunding money, not so keen on providing those rewards.
Show notes at http://grumpyoldgeeks.com/75

74: Dear Hackers, Go Fap Yourself... ・05.09.2014

Arguments about the nature of security and The Fappening. Uber needs a come to Jesus moment soon. Musicians as CEO's. Musicians as stalker/hacker victims. Some Joan Rivers love. Home Depot customers are allegedly screwed. And don’t trust your cellphone!
