90: Back in the Saddle Again

90: Back in the Saddle Again

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

2014 Year End Special

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

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!

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

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

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... Show notes at http://grumpyoldgeeks.com/86 See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

85: You and I are Pilgrims of the Grid

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

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.
