WHAT’S GOT OUR GOAT?: Crappy problems & little things that bug us: Darrell: Grammar & spelling are constantly infuriating me, so here’s a song that condenses everything into one easy package. Schaffer the Darklord - The Way You Talk. Edited for length. 2:22 Stay logged in or remember password check box does neither. When the jerk ahead of you at a drive-through doesn't pull forward enough for you to be able to place your order when there's tons of room to do so. Blue screen caused by electriciouons What’s got your goat? Hammond: people that walk down the middle of the parking lot - SLOWLY.

WHAT’S GOT OUR GOAT?: Crappy problems & little things that bug us: Darrell: It’s the year of the goat as of today. Chinese New Year (sheep & ram also valid) Feedburner (Google) is no longer supported (since 2010) & is slowly having more & more problems, so we’re changing our RSS feed at some point.

THE TURNAROUND: This week’s Positive: Darrell: We let our son (19) set up our WiFi in the new place. I’ll give him a B for a good first try, but the wireless access point is too weak.

WHAT’S GOT OUR GOAT?: Crappy problems & little things that bug us: Darrell: Never tell someone to "calm down". Never tell me what words I should or shouldn't use. But it’s ok for me to tell you never to say "calm down". People that fear science really piss me off. Anti-vaxers, GMOs. No measles vax, no govt svcs. Required.

Hammond: I am me. equal parts excited and nervous about new year. WHAT’S GOT OUR GOAT?: Crappy problems & little things that bug us: Darrell: After you buy the house & move into it, you discover all the little things that are wrong with it. (door knobs, crusty locks, gloggy toilets) Getting a new computer means trying to get everything transferred over from the old to the new one without breaking everything. What’s got your goat? Hammond: cashiers

DoghouseSystems.com - Double your memory by using code Grumpycast at checkout! WHAT’S GOT OUR GOAT?: Crappy problems & little things that bug us: Darrell: "Meteoric rise" makes no sense. It's like saying "flaccid boner". How is living under constant threat of layoffs good for morale - always happens to me for the holidays. The holidays are often a time of disappointment & let down, having gotten people wrong gifts. Honda sold us a maintenance contract with promise that we’d never have to pay for maintenance ever again. Upon taking car in, found out it’s oil changes only. What’s got your goat? Hammond: “Grey Thursday” What the Hell?!!! I was peed on! as adults we still want the holidays to to magical, but because we have obligations and responsibilities a lot of the really cool things get talked about before buying them. kinda takes some the wonder out of it. THE TURNAROUND: This week’s Positive: Darrell: Moving into new house with podcast room. Next show from there. Belkin is replacing

WHAT’S GOT OUR GOAT?: Crappy problems & little things that bug us: Darrell: House buying and selling - waiting. For what? Everything’s instant in today’s world. Speech recognition phone menus. DST make dark evenings even worse. The time change should make it lighter when it gets dark earlier. What’s got your goat? Hammond: I live in a location that has bad weather. every year. Why is it that people forget how to drive in it every year. trying to sell something - trusting, shipping, etc. uncertainty. Not knowing. I like having information. I like feeling ahead of the game.

WHAT’S GOT OUR GOAT?: Crappy problems & little things that bug us: Darrell: Cold & flu season. Sometimes my cure works, sometimes it doesn’t, and sometimes it reduces the duration greatly. Kleenexes that are packed so tightly in the box they can’t be pulled out without shredding & becoming totally useless. What’s got your goat? Hammond: The phrase "the stress of the holidays" - this is all self imposed stress. Dumb cartoon that promote stupid stereotypes. Girls need to be rescued...etc. The nuance of health is gone- the illusion of giving a shit is gone. THE TURNAROUND: This week’s Positive: Darrell: The hum/whine some people have been hearing has been fixed. Undid the mixer’s USB cable and went analog only. Grumpiness means nothing unless you’re going to do something about it. Hammond: Done with interviews for the year! Have had 75 shows launch so far. Feel like the work is starting to pay off. Popped in on live chat for citadel cafe last night and Joel and his guest both comment

WHAT’S GOT OUR GOAT?: Crappy problems & little things that bug us: Darrell: Ebola media dumbness - why I haven’t watched TV news in 20+ years. Emissions testing is a fraudulent money grab. I do not like the phrase "like never before". What’s got your goat? Hammond: Movie Theater poporn and butter - you lucky folks who get to control your own - the straw trick. Popcorn floating in butter. unwanted magazines tech pushing- example - TV’s people had justed adapting HD, when they pushed 3d, now curves (?), 4K, 5K (Apple) - Slow down it might be more successful. THE TURNAROUND: This week’s Positive: Darrell: A 24” Lego Enterprise fell off Jeremy’s ceiling & broke. I finally fixed it. Hammond: Had fun with my family doing Halloween decorations. made cool wraths. THE BARFBAG: Drew Snyder: Just got around to grumpy cast. Thank you for your grump about The Final Score.

WHAT’S GOT OUR GOAT?: Crappy problems & little things that bug us: Darrell: It really pisses me off when the in-laws come over and do all the kids chores and then get mad at us for not giving the kids chores. Podcasters that cancel shows that are much beloved. People not subject. Phone books. Really??? Driveway to recycle bin. Why print?? Buy partisan app What’s got your goat? Hammond: Feedback and the process and getting and receiving Hulu ads. - It is a premium service. live sports! How are you doing? why ask… Say something greeting related.

WHAT’S GOT OUR GOAT?: Crappy problems & little things that bug us: Darrell: Cock & balls water at the gym. Sticking out of pants. Emails from a “no-reply” address make certain I’ll never do business with you again. When people take everything you say in a negative way. The internet has no inflection. What’s got your goat? Hammond: Start of School year sickness that rips through the family like a marauding horde. Not listening to people who know what they are doing. (people not following dr’s orders, bosses not listening to employees who are actually doing the work, or when asking for help getting mad at the answer you were given.) I’m sick - really sick.
