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.

06: Yeah, that sounds expensive.
We have our first guest! Rudy Jahchan of Timey Wimey TV and Galacticast fame kindly joined us this week for an awesome conversation about coding, getting old, and how Hollywood works. There is a bit of problem with the audio on this episode and we apologize and hope you still dig it. Just pretend we're dropping the bass.
