This is the BEST Podcast!!
This is a highlight of my Fridays, or Saturdays when I save them for a dull weekend. These guys are frank, insightful, and incredibly knowledgeable! They keep the topics moving and post links on episode notes so even if itâs hard to figure out spelling, etc., itâs easy to find stuff. Iâve learned a LOT about current equipment, new tech developments, and sometimes current BS (looking at you, Crypto). THANK YOU, Jason, Brian and Dave! Iâve listened for years and need to tell you how much I appreciate all your work.
Best Tech Around
Opinionated, experienced,, witty, smart with a few habaneros thrown in. Definitely NOT the usualârewrite of press releasesâfrom FAANG( (MAANG?). Dave Bittner is great added voice, the Force is Strong within him. Seriously,. Good show notes,, mentions of articles, apps, sites, sources, people to check out. Best of the best.

Pi-Hole
Dear Grumpys, I love the show and I can't wait every week for the next, so I started listening to the old ones from the newest to the oldest waiting for the time when the news will be outdated and irrelevant. Guess what? I don't think anything will be outdated even in the next decade... I am now in 2020 when Brian was about to deploy a Pi-Hole to block ads from tracking. How did it end? By the way, if it is still on a shelf go and grab it because it takes only 10 minutes to set it up. About your wife's desire to get some targeted ads of her choice (I had the same issue with my wife), you can add those domains to a whitelist. But even better, if your network is segmented and your professional devices are segregated from the house and the guest network you can add the Pi-Hole only to the segment that YOU use. This is my tutorial for deploying the Pi-Hole https://blog.dftorres.ca/?p=1347 Stay grumpy and hope to see you guys here in Toronto eventually.
For real thoâŠ

Entertaining and useless!
I love listening to this show but I don't know why. I get no practical or usefull information out of it but it is just straight up entertaining. I used to not like it when they would trash Trump or get political but now I just have to remind myself that these are the people who think democracy is at stake when they see a guy in a buffalo hat and I really don't care if someone disagrees with me politically so keep up the great work and I can't wait for next week's grumpyness. Cheers!
Great Show!
Jason and Brian are worth at most 2 1/2 stars each but that adds up to 5 stars so there you go!

Great grumpiness!
Love these guys. Love the banter between them. I always put them at the top of the list when the show arrives. Security Ha is one of my favs as is the library. I have gotten some great suggestions and I even tried some they stated weren't good (and they were right!) Dave Bitner is a great addition to Security Ha. Just got back from vacation đą and had 5 episodes to listen to. Score! Keep on grumping!

Great Tech Show w/ Syfy Sprinkled In
Jason and Brian are amazing hosts delivering great tech content. I especially love Jasonâs detail to the quality of the podcast that they produce as there are many podcasts out there that sound like crap. They are informed and do their research and donât fly by the seat of their pants for the most part. My favorite part is the Syfy sorry no wait security section with Dave. You guys make me laugh every week. Keep up the good work.

Why not
Just as you take a trip to my homecountry for "free" moves and/or tv-shows I listen to your pod adfree in the same country.
To Brian, Good for you that you embraced the culture of Canada
To Jason: I wish you a great recovery and good luck with the new show on the tube, I am going to watch it for free and with no ads :)
(And yes I will add to the tip yar someday, not today, but someday)
Just take my moneys you filthy animal!
This podcast cures my itch of the weekly grumps - after each episode I can always say to myself -- Man still have something to look forward to in a few years when i can scream "get off my interweb you tick-snap-grammer"
Team Grumpy
Jedi Bittner pointed me to Sith GOG show a few years ago and now I am a full member of team grumpy. Thank you for the superb podcast in every respect. The Internet will be better soon! Not.

It Was Time To Show My Appreciation Again
It's been 2 years now that Grumpy Old Geeks has been my go to for making housework less of a chore. It was sad when you guys went to once a week although understandable. Cleaning days are twice a week and you had me covered. It was a hard decision wether to listen to you while cleaning upstairs or wait till later in the week when I did the downstairs. However, the upstairs won as I was less likely to be bothered by my child husband. I always learn something new, often something bizarre, sometimes discover something to add to my shopping list and am thoroughly entertained by the banter between the two of you. The inclusion of Dave B., for security segments (mostly đ) is truly a delightful experience after one manages to get over all the unnerving information. It's a bit like a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde performance. One never knows where those conversations might go. Grumpy Old Geeks is honest, insightful, irreverent and revealing ... it's something to look forward to once a week. Thanks!

Grumpy, informative, professional⊠ha!
I love this podcast! I find the balance of Jason and Brian to be reminiscent of my relationship with my own best friend and itâs comforting to know that Iâm not alone in my grumpiness. If I had a shot of whiskey for every time Jason says âexactlyâ it Brian says âmmhmmâ Iâd be dead always. I love the show, I enjoy the insight and appreciate the quality in production! Thanks for many great years of listening. Sorry it took so long to write this review, perhaps like self driving cars I moved the posts a few times.

Older and grumpier
Sage advice from two travelers still on the digital journey. Listen and learn. Too bad they are old enough to remember programming in Fortran and GRID laptops that had a total memory of 362K.

Wow you guys are dorks
If the internet had a porch, you two would be sitting in your rocking chairs complaining about the metaverse while the rest of us are enjoying our blind bliss.
You son of a bitch, I'm in!
Amazing show!
I listen a full episode every day commuting. No matter if the episode is from last year, all the shit happening on the Internet still funny. Stay grumpy!
