Funny and interesting
I like the perspective and you guys are so funny. Good stuff.

Grumps Unite! Awesome Podcast.
Stop what you're doing and subscribe to this podcast! Even if you're not grumpy or old, Brian and Jason will have you nodding your head at all the stupid things that are happening on the internet. And remember, A.I. does not exist!

Great tech podcast
Great podcast to help stay aware of all things tech and the cyber security section is fantastic. Highly recommended.

The Court Jesters Speak The Truth
A great geek podcast without going down to the port level. They bring up the current technology issues in the media in their own unique way. Their humorous presentations are great.

Geeks Gone Grumpier
Love this show. Jason and Brian, along with Dave on security, get at tech topics in a fun and enjoyable way. Plus, I can relate to their grumpiness and frustration with the dumbing down of society. I’d like to say just tech but really it’s all of it. Bird scooters for everyone!!

Amaz-balls!!
Although I am unfortunately part of the millennials generation I absolutely love this show. It’s helping me stay current with technology and I see I’m not alone when I comes to certain gripes about different software and product updates

Awesome conversation about internet and security
I have been listening to this show for about 6- 8 months. I'm gotten my 14 yr old hooked on it, good father-son time. I appreciate you guys share similiar views on privacy, social media and what kids/adults should and should do on the internet. I've been in IT Security for 22 years and love learning about topics I know about and don't know about. Keep up the great work and entertainment. Brian O. a life long and die hard SF Giants fan.

Dave Bittner For President
I don’t know who those other two guys are but they really should step aside and let Dave Bittner run the show.

Better than Reddit and Stumbleupon
I recently began listening to this podcast after hearing it recommended on a past episode of the Art of Charm. Now I don’t know how I got on without it! Working in IT. I now save hours and days of surfing tech news! I’m sure my employer and spouse will be quite pleased. Perfect for your commute.

Effin' AWFUL Language
Just kidding guys, great work!! Honest, raw and DEFINITELY unbiased! To the guys: I'm *technically* a millenial, so a big thank you from this geek for inspiring me to do better than the current swill of silicon valley frost-tipped unicorn-loving "platform"-building sellouts you feature every week. When they ask me how to build it, I'll have hours of content on how NOT to do it. Until that day, if you're a geek with half a brian, you'll love the grumping and grumbling, as I have. Cheers!

GOG's need to stick together..
It's hard to catch anyone's attention in this day and age of instant gratification. It's nice to listen to some people who generally feel the way I do about things. Keep up the good work!

Nothing is sacred.
Not Bitcoin, not even Luke Skywalker. While I don’t agree with everything they say, these guys are VERY knowledgeable about a lot of stuff I’m not. I learn and laugh during every show and GOG is priority listening, aka high on my list now. My only advice - don’t take advice from anybody. Continue doing what you’re doing, improving upon excellence along the way.

Great Show!
I've been listening for a few months now and this show is great! Relevent, up to date topics, and just fun overall. The show is entertaining from beginning to end and a must add to your podcast list.

Worth your time!
They take top tech stories, and break them down for you with a humorous banter. They also cover movies and shows you might consider and they'll let you know what's worth your time. You'll have a laugh and after a decision to unfollow a ton of podcasts, (including Art of Charm) Brian and Jason have come out on top! These guys are DEFINITELY worth 2 hours a week.

Question?
What are your thoughts on the podcast Masters of Scale?

Grumpy? Check. Geeky? Check.
This is an awesome podcast. It fills my morning commute with sarcasm and cutting edge technology. What more could you ask for? I’ve been listening for almost a year and love it so much I’m a supporter on Patreon. Be one of the cool kids and listen to this snarky, hilarious duo.

...but are they “Dvorak” grumpy?
No, they aren’t “Dvorak” grumpy (as in John C. Dvorak). Give them a few years and maybe. In the mean time, you’ll have to put up with what I would call mildly grumpy middle-aged geeks. Actually, the podcast is quite enjoyable and has become part of my weekly rotation. Jason and Brian add some useful (and sometimes colorful) context to the happenings in the tech industry while Dave Bittner provides commentary on security among other contributions. If you are looking for some entertaining musings, this is a must listen. It’s one of the best. Just don’t expect Statler and Waldorf to show up.

A love story about a guy and his dogs
This podcast is nearly impossible to listen to - we get it Jason, you have dogs and you love them very much. Now you go from a non baseball fan to a White Sox fan? I am sure you are right about your neighbors throwing rocks at your house. Seriously though, this podcast is fantastic. My productivity at work has skyrocketed since I discovered this podcast. I used to spend way too much time browsing all corners of the internet. These guys do that for me and filter it down to interesting and helpful stuff. Instead of wasting countless hours at the job by surfing the web, I listen to this podcast and then check out links in the show notes for more in depth info on what they talk about. I thank you both for the show, but my employer thanks you more! PS - Go Cubs PPS - More Bam Bam and Dino pics on Instagram please

Bittner led me here.
Hi guys! Great podcast, I was originally led here by Dave, and now you’re part of my weekly listening routine. Keep up the great work!

Snarky and informative
Useful information about all the awful things done in the tech world - with just enough news about the good things to keep you from wanting to move to a shack in the woods. As someone who works for a big faceless tech company, I find their take on the industry to be insightful and hilarious

I am a nerd myself
I really love listening to you because of two reasons First of all i am a nerd my self a computer science graduate and a soon to information technology masters class student, i listen to you guys because i want to improve my english 😂 plus you guys speak my mind technology is going towards something crazy, my father used to tell me that there will be flying cars everywhere when you grow up all i can see is technology used for sex bots and vibrators. Love you guys, I am Muneeb, from Pakistan.

Come for the podcast, stay for the show notes
Four stars for this excellent podcast about the internet and things and sometimes the Internet OF things. Awarding an additional star for the show notes! I’m seriously considering making it my homepage as I spend as much time following the links as I do listening to the podcast itself. cheers!

Move over twit
I discovered this over the holidays while Leo was playing best of’s on twit and Mac break weekly, and needed to find something to fill the void. Love the show, it’s now my first play of the week, bumping off the twit shows until second. Love the variety and humor, keep up the good work.

Awesome podcast
These guys are awesome! I'd been listening to Jason for years on AoC, and now The Jordan Harbinger show. This is a very informative and entertaining podcast. Keep it up!

Tell it like it is
Being a lot older than Jason and Brian I put myself in the grumpy old fart category. Still I look forward to their podcasts. I like the irreverent take on things as well as the smart and informative. The banter and rhythm keep the show moving forward and I get caught up on current technology and the evils that lurk out there on the internet, Good Stuff!

We all need a little more skepticism in tech
As a grad student, closest geek and wannabe tech nerd, I find myself coming back every episode to get the Grumpy take on all the tech news that pops up on my RSS feeds and variuos other podcasts. GOG provides some much needed perspective on all the "early days", "disruptive" and "revolutionary" tech continually delivered by the brophets of silicon valley.

Not Shy About Telling It Like It Is
I can certainly relate to the hosts. I love the down to earth, no sugarcoating informative podcast. Thanks for telling it like it is. *Note to Apple* Apple please don't ban me, when these two bash an Apple product.

Fantastic Show
Thanks for the amazing show. It makes my long drives fly by. For anyone that complains about the language on the show, they should simply stop listening. I don’t understand why someone would take the time to leave a review complaining about it. It’s 2018, Google and listen to any of the other thousands of podcasts available if it bugs their sensitive ears. Keep the shows just how they are! GOG and CyberWire are the only podcasts I listen to weekly, as all others are bland.

VERY OFFENDED!!?!!
THIS PODCAST IS PURE NEGATIVE ENERGY AND IT BELONGS IN THE DEPTHS OF HELL good podcast doh

Great Podcast
I can’t remember where I heard about the grumpy old geeks but it fills a void in my podcast listening. It gets a little geekier than some of the other tech podcasts I listen to that skew towards business. Great stuff. It’s the kind a podcast that I can only recommend to certain people. That’s awesome that it serves a specific audience so well.
