More than once I have been remiss in properly supporting the podcast until it hit me. You provide the extremely valuable service of being able to say to my husband “I told you so!” That's 50 bucks well spent.
And you’re both right, Severance is a slog. It fell flat for me even though the premise was interesting. Others I know loved it.
However, having said that, Apple does a decent job of focusing their content to specifically target the audience they are trying to reach. Obviously, they were not after my eyes this time.
Thanks for keeping on keeping on.

Pleasant find
For those of us who are tired of the unbridled ambitions of the Magnificent 7 hoping to fleece billions of dollars in capital for garbage products and the unmitigated disaster that is the existence of GenAI. Let it all burn.
Get grumpy, people.

I’ve always refused to listen to podcasts because they’re often not ADHD friendly. My partner insisted I listen to this one and I was immediately hooked. Now I notify him when new episodes are released so we can listen to it at the same time. This podcast has made my partner want to read more books, which is impressive because he is dyslexic. We also enjoy the hosts’ bluntness no matter what topic they’re discussing. Thank you for providing us with entertainment each week (you know, when we’re not screaming or crying over the current state of affairs).

The Best in the Business
Jason and Brian have been keeping me entertained, informed, and laughing for a decade or better at this point. These two grumpy old geeks are the most down-to-earth, legit, intelligent, and funny guys podcasting today. The content of the show is fresh, relevant, and delivered every week in way that feels like a conversation with a couple of your smartest and funniest friends. Their decades of industry involvement traces the evolution of the internet itself and is foundational to their insights and observations. Dave Bittner fits in well and adds his own special sauce to the mix. The three of them feel more like old friends than podcasters. The show is technically perfect. The audio is magic. Jason is the best producer in podcasting This show is a genuine treasure

If Sarcastic Tech Rants Were an Olympic Sport, They’d Have Gold
If you love tech, sarcasm, and the sound of two guys expertly roasting the internet while slowly losing faith in humanity, then Grumpy Old Geeks is the podcast for you! Jason and Brian break down the latest tech disasters and online absurdities with the kind of brutal honesty that makes you laugh, cringe, and wonder if you should just throw your phone into the ocean. And if they don’t make a “We’re going to need a bigger Luigi” shirt, I’ll have no choice but to question their commitment to comedy and capitalism.

A long long time ago, in a Los Angeles far far away
It is a dark time for technology. Although box tops has been destroyed, technology has driven developers from their hidden bases. Evading the narcissistic tech bro's, a small group of freedom fighters led by Jason DeFillippo, Brian Schulmiester, and Dave Bittner have established a podcast in a desperate search for sanity. The evil lord Dickh Musk obsessed with destroying everything good about technology has dispatched billions of dollars into the far reaches of the internet.....
This podcast is funny, and on point for tech news, neat gadgets, books, films, and TV, plus they got Dave Bittner, Superhost for like 7 minutes a week. If you don't listen, and support, then I would guess you are an agent of the tech bro's.

Grumpy young geeks?
Even though the name is a misnomer from my point of view (I have a decade or so of computer work on them), I look forward to their weekly discussions about the enshitification of the Internet. And their book and movie/series likes often overlap with mine. This is the only podcast I listen to that I have an alert set for the instant it shows up in my feed.
Makes the Pain Worth It
I have been listening for 4 years now, and never once been disappointed by a show. One of my main workouts is ruck marching on Friday (sometimes Saturday) nights for a few miles, and I save this show for those, since it makes the schlep just a little less painful and way more entertaining. Being a recovered Goth, eternal Star Wars fanboi, and a current technologist, I rarely miss a beat with the insanely blunt and intelligent banter, nor ever find a single topic to which I can't relate. Even my millennial wife grudgingly enjoys when I have to skip a ruck and listen while on a family drive. Yes, I wait until the kids are asleep before mashing play. Please keep up the grump, and I'll keep up throwing cash at you.

OMG! Clouds?
Almost pissed myself over the discussion Dave triggered about clouds. Really loved how hard Brian laughed at Jason's WKRP in Cincinnati reference ("Do you ever really get into your hand"). My wife thought I had finally snapped because I was crying with laughter. You guys rule.
Absolutely entertaining and informative
These guys make me laugh and at the same time give great news update with a slight touch of sarcasm. Definitely people I’d like to have in a backyard BBQ. Thanks to them I now understand how clouds are formed! Thank you for solving life’s big mystery.
What a ride so far…
I started off in listening to the podcast Darknet Diaries, which is so awesome! Led to Jordan Harbringer’s FF and many great guest which finally led to GOG ( will hit up Dave’s dozen of furry podcasts next!). Seeing the connections and personal story from one to another kept me with GOG since November 23’ and still binging every single show, currently 9/20 episodes. I felt like I know them guys and all the transitions they gone through, I would love to have a beer with them someday. I can’t donate like Martin and I won’t complain about the ads, I do appreciate these guys for the techy knowledge! Sometimes the show notes doesn’t have any link, wonder if it’s because of some expiration reasons.

The one and only
I’ve listened to a lot of podcasts through the years. Most of them have kept limited attention, bored me, or were in the wrong lane of traffic.
Not this one. This is the only one I still listen to on a weekly basis. these guys are grounded with reality, have excellent taste in media, the best sense of humor, and they call it when they see it, whether good or bad.
Not that I’m going to do it, but these guys are what made me want to start my own podcast, but alas, I lack the talent to keep up with these lads.
As soon as I start my new job, I’ll be sending you some money. It’s well overdue for the years of laughs and finger flippage.
Spot on, gentlemen.

Amazing
I started to listen to you a few years ago and have loved the show ever since. I recently listened to your first episode and still funny and informative but very different 😂 the quality have definitely improved. Keep on the great work.
