so Zacks a good buddy of ours and you've only been with the company for what it's been three months yeah you're enjoying your time you don't enjoy my time yeah even though you work under our good friend stupid Andy stupid and he's not stupid he pretends to be stupid but I think he's actually the smartest guy at this come you could be honest in here he's like no I'm being honest te he plays it off like he's dumb and he has no idea what's going on but he's got a hidden agenda yeah which we don't know about yet we're he's gonna come out sooner or later I want people to who are listening maybe they recognize your voice in some capacity ah little Easter Egg little hidden secret about the 404 a good buddy Zach was actually the voice behind none other than tuna Tuesday were you necessary I was you were that was a while look it was man we should start that up again yeah well thank you tuning it well maybe tuna maybe tuna past but she has a friend that's still around okay we could do something done alright alright I'm looking forward to the the possibilities are endless all right do it I forgot that you were the voice of tuna teasing we haven't heard her like a little like taste of what she used to sound like if people remember tuna Friday hello boy it's a wonderful tuesday it's tina Schwartz's yes mysterious wars this morning I had a tuna melt and for lunch I'm gonna make myself some tuna ha ha I'm gonna wrap it up for dinner we're gonna have tuna casserole a lot of tuna man she thrived that's why there's a shortage of tuna right and that's why she's got so much mercury yeah she has the edge she's pure mercury she's not even human at this point even even your facial expression kind of transforms into like an older woman well I grew up with a lot of older Jewish women so it's clearly so it's easy to just take on the face yeah understandable which is I guess may the schwartz be with me thats Sarah busy oh there is a specific reason we brought you on for the first heaven show wasn't just a hangout wasn't just the Hangout we don't we see you enough around the office fair enough I wanted to bring up something that Justin and I have covered a while ago a little cycled grouper all right now I want to sort of refresh everyone's memory a little bit you were involved personally with a grouper event last night I was yeah and so sort of like catch us up what exactly is grouper is a it's a it's a new way of date it's a dating service but it's not really a service because you know you have the connotation of service with a monthly fee right something that you pay this is a one-time thing you can do it multiple times but you pay as you go basic okay so I live with two other guys and one of them signed up for it one let's say that one of them is my brother one of them is your brother it wasn't him that did the signing up for towards our other roommate that signs up for it so what happens is you sign up for it and they do all the correspondence so you got grouper then you got the guy and then on the other side of grouper there's a random girl who we've never met before so completely blind completely blind so how it works is grouper basically takes you know they talked to one guy and he talked to one girl and they they don't let them communicate at all and they basically give them a time in place mmm to me that works for everybody and they say all right guy and girl you guys are going to meet at Point a Thursday night nine o'clock this bar in New York City right now each of you bring two friends and it basically turns into a three on three blind date yeah so it's not like they kind of market it as it's a blind date one-on-one you just so happen to bring your two friends along that you seem so soundly that what are you ready to go well I because they have more yeah or gtalk hahaha that's how they market it but really it's just a three-on-three blinded it's not like just because a and B you know the one guy one girl let's set it up they're gonna just sit and talk and the other four people are just going to watch them right it's really a you know it's an intermingling of six people three guys three so it's like hey we're going on a date you bring two friends operating to come well it's kind of like you see where the night and we'll see where it goes it's kind of like it's almost a trip to the urologist you want to be in and out you know whether the results are good or bad just you look like Lex Genesis posse was as possible you don't know what you're walking into let's just get it in and out no pictures or I don't want to know where you're from we want you so I say you know nothing about the person right but I feel like most people I know you like the joke but most people are searching for a potential relationship here of course I think ver selling point is is that forget about all the nonsense involved with stalking somebody and seeing who they are friends with or what your circle is let's just put you together and there's no games involved let's just see what happens it will take it from that what sounds cool about this site is that with most the online dating websites like match.com or okay keep you gotta fill out a bunch of really annoying surveys and they match you up based on some kooky algorithm doesn't work properly concur with grouper it sounds a little different they extract information from your facebook profile yeah and that's how they match up with people which is really cool because I feel like most people are a little more honest on their facebook because there's actually people they know um yeah but Jack explains because I was sort of blown away about this fact the grouper finds the venue if they set it up for you so that guys each pay 20 bucks each yeah all right so that's 60 bucks right okay anything the girls pay 20 bucks each as well all right yeah their pain which is kind of cool because that's 120 bucks now okay so that's 120 bucks and now grouper will take half of it and the other half will go to the bar your first drink is on the house that's how they partner with the exactly so basically the bar is walking away with the first you know their first round of drinks is on them not really though cuz you paid for it and the other 60 bucks is going to grouper so the venue doesn't get a cut no then you don't get it cut getting half of it basically all right you're paying for the drinks in advance right obviously gonna have no amount to a hundred and twenty dollars sure then you take 16 grouper take 60 that's a fifty percent profit margin I mean the one thing that was at longevity behind it like how many times can you really go on the a serial group right and once you go on the first date you don't have to use grouper to keep setting up of course not because guess what you could grab those personal phone numbers unless the deals that they offer on the website if they partner with like a you know a group hollin type yeah on service oh my god I much current too much group going but this is what I want to know if you do the other two friends that both parties bring along have to be on grouper as well or can you know they know that's why you just have that's what's kind of cool about to say there's the technicalities behind it are very it's very seamless okay you've just got one guy that sets it up on on behalf of his buddies one girl that sets it up on behalf of her forgot and grouper baguettes in the middle of it and says all right fight let's just do this brown dwarfs that's really interesting because you have no idea what kind of friends they're gonna bring well they could be all right so the one we met up with these three girls last rites and eliana now first off let's hear it me and my roommates we all live together so the three of us grab a cab we go downtown we go to this undisclosed location we walk in there and they hype it up as being you know of course grouper their emails like all this place is ultra hip and it's um lounge and all this nonsense okay there was four people in the bar well here's what's funny we walk in the bar and we just look around we don't see a group of three girls cuz that would be you know too obvious that there's sure and we're there first okay we walk in there all of a sudden the bartender comes like running around from the other side of the bar and me and the guys oh my god he comes running out the other side of the bar it was kind of like you know the UM the music just stopped in the bar everybody voted us and he was just like are you guys here for the grouper hey online dating guys right well guys gonna like some bad when you're going to the supermarket to get tampons for your girl way of ice check price check for it and we're just we just look at each other and my one roommate goes and just does a complete 180 it just storms out no I like it but uh I grabbed a buy that I can like you're coming in and the guy she's like you guys are here for group right we're like yeah yeah yeah totally grouper did you know what the girl look like nah no no they don't give me the picture at no name oh my god i'm not sure you hadn't specify what kind of girl you're looking for here's ok but yeah like you said before with facebook so they looked up my one roommate on facebook they had the other golfing i think what they do is they say there's an algorithm behind it that's nonsense i think what they do is they just match people that aren't friends on facebook right you know because if you're already four they look at mutual friends they said maybe if they sell you see that you share interests on stuff that you like yeah but who really i mean guys in their mid 20 s we're not fourteen-year-old girls right at least on the outside we aren't yeah I think that I like Tabasco sauce yeah yeah you know I like Led Zeppelin on my facebook right you know I think they keep it very simple they're like all right this guy in this girl they have no mutual friends born in 8585 went to a Big Ten school went to a party school they're just like screw it let's go whatever you share your guy all right go ahead and pass the test so yes we sit down we the first round of drinks obviously is on them drinks come to us well you've missed a crucial part of the story so the girls come up to you okay the poison yeah yeah we're sitting at this huge table this huge wooden table that has first off it has a reserved thing on oh but like the place needs a reserve there was no that's no fault of group of course oh that quickly went right off the table of course that's not going there so we all first was strategy where do you want to sit right you know I'm also interested to see what your criteria for bringing these wingmen are you don't mean like are they single is just convenient okay cuz we all live with you don't live together there were all safely singles but they're uglier than you right you purposely chose uglier friends I didn't even look more attractive well that's how they always do yeah John looks like me my brother looks like me so come on what he turns out I everybody was good-looking long but uh so we all we know we think we're being strategic here we all sit at different places you know i'm on i'm over here Jones over here Ryan's over here girls finally come in like 15 minutes later because I like oh we apologize we're sorry and it's the first initial reaction that we saw I know one of them no because that's that's the thing is that since they didn't use my facebook information thank you because you're most freaking popular person on the internet if we got totally sure but um no but he's right that use ryans in Romania so I guess Ryan's not friends with the girl on Facebook but I'm friends with her and facies so they were just like babies so they were so I guess they assume you know nothing of it I didn't know her like we're buddies and we chat all the time I met her at a party so there were mutual that's your relationship with her that you just knew who she was Freya might be kind of better actually did you have a launch pad yeah caught you know it took away from your moment at first year just like oh we know each other right I'm like yeah I so nice right to hit on us tomorrow so you knew one hoop on girl or one of the friends it's just so happy to you was the grouper girl ok ok and so we'll sit down we get to talking so they all squeezed next to each other and sit on the couch so it's 123 right next to each other squeezed up Ryan shifts over towards me in John since this table is huge now he's like five feet away from everybody he's like he's got to lean up and be you know he's gotta throw a paper airplane across the table just the age question sure ok so we go around the room and it's just like all right what do you do Oh like that they were cool girls they were good-looking I don't know what they were looking maybe they were just looking for love in all the wrong places but the one girl said she did this last week huh and they went out with these guys that were new to New York whatever that means it may be some Southern gentleman right sure and they went out and lets it tequila and they were partying like three in the morning I just kind of let me typically write these girls are fun but at the same time she's back on group big to fit you know and then the other girl as she said they found out the next morning not because one of them woke up next to them but because they went on Facebook they got their last names one of the guys I was on the date was actually engaged ok ya know but on the website they say you don't have you don't have to be single fine yeah that's such a major kind cuz it's not supposed to be a dating website explicitly it's just to meet people to plan what a friend that's cut through the crap everyone say it's kind of crappy ones trying to get banged out let's be honest I'm just saying you're not it was unites us all but you're not on grouper because you want to have a platonic relationship with I yeah yeah you know what you wanted you want to do make things happen but that's how they market themselves they don't want any pressure on you they're basically you know like before him we were saying you what types of groups of girls can we bring or can end up showing you can have the two sisters and the one disgusting friend has it you know grenade who hasn't gotten it in like eight years and they're just bringing her along you get the three crazy girls you're royalty guys you're right dice literally get anything you can get three dudes that show up you know dressed as women I don't see the possibilities are endless right um but we show up we ended up talking it yeah we were forcing conversation they weren't into it was it was a loss now why don't you think so why didn't work out because you guys it's fashionable you guys are you guys are you have your corks but you guys are fun to hang out with what why didn't it register i chi said you could just tell no I'm not gonna disclose you know we knew where they were from but their pet you know what daddy did it was obvious one of them didn't work and still lived in Manhattan right in a penthouse later they shouldn't be on groupon if they wanted to get what a grouper these should be you know down on Wall Street those I think but those guys can do better you know any these are not typically girls that you would walk up to in a bar no I wouldn't but I get rejected right away by one item at a bar right this was just a long stretched out rejection just like oh my gradual reject we were talking you know John held his own Ryan was doing well we were talking TV were to another problem was the bar was cool it looked cool there was no liquor there was beer and wine that's it so usually you need that social lubricant of tequila you need vodka you need something to spice up even if it's not going well you say to the waitress like all right sweetheart bring over here shots of tequila it's just it's getting shots of tequila yeah let's get the ball rolling here um but then one of them you know i can i'm good with signals one of them was like leaning back in the chair her hands might as well have just been down her pants like al bano she just didn't care she not giving up his cash loosened her pan yeah she's burping and she's like oh you know she's scratching her bag she was bored not burping up as she might is it sounds like she was bored she wasn't my god they were on their cell phone I looked over to bring about cell phones I looked over at them and I was just like you guys textin each other but were you also making non verbal agreements with your buddies to like sort of pair off you don't I mean like that's what you tried like yeah you know John was talking to one and then you know me and Ryan and the other two girls like at each other we're like oh looks like they're talking but that ended 30 seconds later right let's get back you know it's that's why I feel bad it feels awkward no look listen not everything is gonna be a line drive single to left you you need though you need those strikeouts every now and it's less awkward because you have tube of your good friends there right well here--here's no unbeliever secretly is it's a way to sort of uh lessen the shock and awe of a blind date sort of just like a load of you can handle rejection better right all right but it's funny right now grouper um because the guy that signed up my room in that signed up for it got an email the next day and was basically like we have so many females on this website we're doing three two one dates right now we're three girls and one guy York yeah there's so many girls that are on that's unbelievable wait three girls would be willing to meet up with one guy amazing if those girls at that point they're just trying to throw anything against you just see what sticks you don't mean I think so right Jesus three on one question is do I go on a three on one I think yeah dogpile doubt i'll tell you what Zach yeah I think you do and then you come back and tell us about this because I love hearing this story knee-deep in squid it's pretty fantastic ya know so it ended it ended and you know it was that awkward silence at the end we're about an hour in work how late did you stay out well we were out with them for about an hour but I got to the point where they had just finished their wine we finished our drinks I look at Ryan Ryan looks at John I look at the painting at the wall i watch um the girls look at each other kind of like whispering I look at them and I'm like look let me just put it out there yeah and their eyes were like oh no oh my god what is this guy gonna say and I look at them and I'm just like here's the deal the three of us are gonna go get hammered right now all right we're just going out your inner you out yeah it's the deal like you know what I mean you want to come cuz we could have been like look is this going anywhere that's you don't have to dance around answer we're just like look we're going out we're gonna get obliterated it's a thursday night it's nice out you coming yes or no hmm pointed at the first girl she's like no was out till four no poor yeah the previous fun girl I know this wasn't the trust one girl this was a different one but she wasn't even now till four it was a complete and utter lie next girl goes I'm like okay you're a know what about you she goes no love there is no excuse yeah there's about the river but just John and Ron or they're just sitting there like this like come on we can gala one we could get one and I'm like what about you she goes no okay oh poor guys gonna miss it's all right all right you struck out but you know we went to a dirty bar afterwards they did it was good no way tell us where that's a good evocative oh yeah that's you're no worse for the wear you guys seem uh you know in good shape after not where I'm I'm alive everybody good are you gonna do it again I mean it sounds like there's plenty of girls that's the question because I'll be there again this set up there was cool you know it was easy it was it was very seamless it just you know and we want it worked so when I give it another shot yeah I'd wait a couple of weeks and then you know and they won't set us up with the same girls obviously because you know our point guy the first time will be our point man the second time gotcha it sounds like the lack of details that are provided for each participant that might it's cool but then it also also hurts you yeah it also hurts you in there very interesting sort of this plan they got there it'll be around for three more months and then has it been around as anyone no I don't know okay Mon 2011 ya know it's been around for about a year or so but it'll end up getting huge like right now it's different you would you think it's gonna want me to a little peek and then it'll Hey look there's there's chicks on there three two one they're offering out eventually they'll just have 320 they just send you to a bar yeah like pay us money were cigarette just tell you which bar you should go to you but I like the concept of this service because you can also tell people if you do meet someone that you become romantically involved later on you can tell people oh we met at a bar and that's not a lie you know like you can tell a story you have to be embarrassed about saying you met online good point good point I remember that I like that well thank you for coming on and tell us about your grouper story please promise promise us you'll be back and tell us about your next online dating yeah if you continue doing this we I would love to talk to you more about amla sure we can do I mean I think that would just be awesome we can roll the tech world into the trying to get labor I should still should go on and we should go on a gripper all right let's no let's cross that bridge when we get there seem to be married yeah it's okay it's okay you're not breaking the terms is you literally bring your wife and kids with you not bad we'll take a break thanks to Zach for joining us for the first half more 404 right after this stick around this is the 404 emer effers the show where we all sing songs alright welcome back to the 404 show man Zacks not bad I love Zach I wanted to be our official online dating correspondent that's uh seems like a painful reality not kidding for sure I mean Zach's great we'll definitely I'm back armed men nice to know that we have that sort of in our back pocket little dating course definitely you know feels good the idea of grouper sounds really interesting it's kind of like um like a wingman meets like group me yeah meats like grub with us member we talked about that other startup where it's kind of the same idea except it's like meal partners right right like you meet at a restaurant sure you they bring two friends you guys all eat together I have you know I feel like only sites it's just people you know some of them it's just a lot of VC money it's just like I got an idea yeah why don't we get people to come in and podcast together very decadent right sure oh we have all these expensive restaurants which people that want to eat there look I might as well exploit the hell out of that you know strange story though all those chicks were just like is that are they like group like group or junkies it sounds like think I mean if there's a lot of girls on the site Gooper it should be called goober chat room says agreed Nick Jack I need to like that like you know I wanted to expand a little bit on the criteria for choosing the friends that you want to deal with writers like I feel like each of your friends kind of brings a different thing to the table be like a Voltron type deal Brian like you want to bring one friend that maybe is like really funny hmm but maybe not funnier than the other two the delicate balance it's a delicate balance to weave in and out of your friend right you know what I mean it's like having that conversation we were talking about earlier regarding zombies and who you would want in your zombie camp yeah right like each man brings his own talents to the table you know everyone is good at something Cooper Cooper everyone's good at something you gotta pick and choose your teammates yeah accordingly um all right let's uh what we're gonna do now we have a video voicemail okay let's let's maybe do calls from the public first cool and then we'll play our C a bit like I'm literally need octopus tentacles right yeah yeah I'm switching with three people I got things up you know what's going on over there oh no we're all set now okay I have the youtube video voicemail if you want to do that first play that would first alright let's play that for as I believe it's from our good friend Patrick yeah it's talking about spectators in video games kind of continuing that conversation he's talking about call of duty in this one I believe so let's check this okay Patrick from st. Louis / LA and he hasn't been talking about lately you know people who like to watch video games that apply them and that's pretty much me I just rather sit there and just you know watch somebody play I kind of suck at video games but I'm really good at talking crap and so that's what I would rather do I think for people like me the best games out there though or like the tiger woods games because all you have to do is do this I can I can do that you can do that finger yeah and then the entire time you can just sit there and drive stock which you know is really the main the main appeal to the game so yeah that's my two cents keep all right dude yes agree thanks for the thanks for the video voicemail please we encourage that because you send one in you got a 99.5 percent chance of making it on there whereas opposed to voicemails you maybe have a sixty percent chance he makes good point too if you're really good at talking crap the online multiplayer ask that's like fifty percent all the experience was totally for you yeah yeah so I guess he didn't talk about call of duty in the video voicemail itself but in the email he's like I'd rather watch someone else play call of duty and laugh at them when they die instead of getting shot in the face myself course which is why his roommates kind of hate him right now yeah i mean look some people born from some one thing born for the other this guy's born to hate kind of like someone else I know yeah I measure of like minds we are very very good thanks for the video voicemail sir let's get to voicemails proper it's calls from the public on time to show the love horsy net so yesterday we asked you are amazing internet viewing and listening audience come up with some things in your day-to-day lives that would be improved by the advent of better technology yes I thought the entire checking and banking system needs an overhaul right so you said something about showering yeah if it was going to take them you don't you don't want to take them you just want to be able to maybe perhaps take a pill that keeps you clean a month keep dreaming but anyway here's a here's a request for something in terms of showering let's do this hey guys security guys are talking about what technology do you like to see improved now you know at the store at costco they had at spice and blades that to dry your hands off your bathrooms be great when you got out of the shower if there's a life-size well body size dice and blade yeah just walk through that would it dry you want more mer how cool is that i would like a personal car wash dry yeah yeah i mean come on how many times have you been in a crappy restaurant and you you know you push the button and it's just like it's it really that's what I'm supposed to dry my hands yeah yeah you know it never works properly never works the way it's intended to but even more irritating is the actual toweling experience when I shadowed I like you try to get that spun on your back you do like the zest for me oh yeah it's weird i don't like that i mean i don't know i feel like i'm drawing 45 seconds well you have extra dry skin an evil ocean well that's true too but I feel like I really accomplished everything very quick really yeah yeah like a set thing that you do every time I guarantee you if you were to compile all the drying off they would look very similar right yeah you always do such with no money yeah I feel like everyone has their own ritual when it comes to trying to oh yeah I like to do the left on the right yeah back I did I bet if like you were to just replace that with paint and you would see the same like paint marks all over your but you know me yeah interesting it's also best not to think about these kinds of things but like it's kind of gross to him yourself like you know maybe wiping your face with the same part of the body that you just used to dry your armpit or other discussed whether you're clean and this is what i don't understand people who are anal about washing towels right when you are drying yourself off your the cleanest you can be yeah okay okay it'll get me wrong I not everyone washes parts of their body that they should be washing maybe you're drying clothes for the slits for the sake of the argument say that you have your own shower one hundred percent perfect job in scrubbing scrubbing every last solitary nook and cranny of your disgusting body right right you're perfectly clean you start talent off that towel you could eat off it it's just as clean you're the you're the epitome of clear are fine I know it's hypothetical right people who like change their town all the time yeah I don't understand that I changed my towels all the time and uh I'm about to have different towels for different parts of the body like quadrant out my body you know I mean you're out of your freaking waterstone to receive your q3 towel could use a good refresh I understand if you're chicken you got like long hair if your head taken a chick okay if your guy or girl with long hair you need a separate L for that yeah I guess so get that you know I mean or you know I only have one towel too so when it comes time to watch that thing and I don't have other laundry did you just don't show no I'll just use you know like washcloth to drive but a series of 30 watch guns that I've needed together haha we're just t-shirts he's disgusting Frank how often do you wash it out um I try to wash my towel is pretty frequently maybe like once every two weeks yeah that's what I do yeah so all right so you're also equally important to wash your pillow cases this has become a very boring conversation has but I feel like there's entertainment to be found in there all right let's go move on to the topic at hand improving your day to day with technology here's a guy who thinks the mail system needs an update hey guys from Joe and I'm thinking of the mail system needs technological update yeah I understand we have email but a lot of companies and businesses and enterprises don't understand and don't take email or or stuff like that there's very asleep seriously yeah say they like to they like to think that it's official because it comes to their mail we had a fax or scan or an image aren't those things are not as official I don't yeah I get the point is trying to make um and I agree i think there's it's just a I'm not sure it's like a Bridget Renaissance trying to say that I think what he's trying to say is that mail like the actual snail mail snail mail paper the documents that are sent through the mail as opposed to mail that scanned when you email somebody for example I know this comes up a lot we brought up a bunch of times just did my taxes right right I had a donated a car last year and you need like a 1098 dash C okay to get that done I call up my accountant I go hey can I bet I can i fax it or I say I'm sorry can i scan this and email it to you right the Secretary was like oh you're going to bring that up yet secretary was like uh I'm not sure we do that okay okay and I said why he said because it's not the same I said well why is it any different it's the same exact thing it's just ones and zeros I didn't say all this but it's ones and zeros just getting sent through the air over to your thing if anything is probably safer more reliable and better quality right after conversation fine they agreed to do it all right but he this guy and you bring your insult on me up in a sec thank you this guy you know like he's trying to say like look some there's like that old school mentality like if it's in the mail and so far more official right no there's no difference well if I mean look in original document you're talking about like a like a stock certificate something that cannot be Xerox or scan right knee like seals crap notre knows if there's still a notary involved in yeah that is more official right but for the most part for the vast majority of business that gets conducted in this country scan or an email it's fine right you know I'm saying so I think that's what he thinks needs to be updated maybe I think that will improve as we age as we get more more user will be official seals just like the party verified Twitter again and there's verified PDFs or and other stuff like that right make fun of me haha speaking of professionalism uh here's a little anecdote anecdotal story yesterday you know Jeff and I sit really close to each other in in relation to the office right yeah like one cube away from each other we're neighbors mmm and uh you know jeff has like usually a very gruff voice that you hear on the podcast right it's always like kind of a like sardonic you know maybe how would you describe your voice I don't know as I kind of gruff gruff I like it may be a little bit yeah I dog as well you know and uh jeff has a little not a lot of people know this but jeff has a phone voice that he uses uh very very rarely do I whippin don't know it I hear it a lot it's when you talk to like PR people really any time that you need to be a little more positive right and you normally feels I'm always just by default right is the dark everyone while you gotta blow that black cloud away yeah like though that out right and so yesterday I hear these guys talking to who what must have been his tax account and he's like um hi uh can I get via form faxed over here i have a 1099 it sounded like it's that it like Dave Chappelle's white god I have like I would love for you to do a little bit right now because I'm not doing a proper in price that tough to really hey I love it and I was listening and literally laughing out loud in my queue I know and then he just wallow on the phone with this woman Justin's writing to me he's like dude what the f are you talking like that I'm like what it knows it's not like a combination of white guy voice and like girlfriend phone voice you know where you're just like hey oh hey what are you doing mmm oh yeah okay I'll be home soon alright we're just so we I mean normally it wouldn't be a big deal but your guest voice usually sounds so different and I'm like polar I know and look if when you bring up like the PR people job interview voices right of course when I want to PR person that I'm comfortable with and been friends with ya gruff right when it's someone broke or was like I'm talking to like an executive maybe that's over the age of 50 yes do you know what I mean I was like um hi oh I was wondering if I could get this form over to you guys how's that gonna work yeah my like my voice goes up a few octaves so I don't sound as aggressive it's a very nice to talk like my voice becomes non regionalized yeah you know what I mean this guy could be from anywhere right when you're hearing me speak normally you're like oh this guy's an East Coast right guys an asshole guys a read as oh um yeah I was wondering if I could just send that over to you guys is that is that ok now it's even it shouldn't matter them even nicer yeah very sweet I love it thank Jeff with the charity you'll never hear it you'll never hear it in its genuine organic form ever just learned that you son of a hi thank you let's get back to the voicemails can we please please get back to voicemail here's a question that I am certainly not qualified to speak to I don't know what this guy's thinking but here we go maybe Justin's more qualified they had don't gotta question for Gil I am currently a first year of college and I'm a non-traditional experiment and after all these years I'm going back my question is it's College really worth the price tuition costs are extraordinarily so hard yeah and I just wanted to know if in the long run he's actually gonna pay off Wow okay there's a lot of details and jeans in here how much time do you have sir can't just give up that's the most blanket statement to be like college ain't worth it don't go to college yeah I mean first of all so by non-traditional I think he means that he's not 18 years old um so he said he's going back to school a little bit later in life to get his degree I didn't even I couldn't decide for that that's what he's wondering about is is it worth it to go to college later in life sir we don't know what you can be majoring and we don't know what college you're going to so if it's like a State College more than maybe he does ain't gonna be a lot of different prices then maybe he doesn't know this non secret okay okay the way it works in this country just out of the gate you have a college degree even if you barely paid it doesn't matter however you acquired a college degree and yes for certain fields it does matter about the the reputation of the school you went to yeah people with college degrees get jobs more easily than people who don't it's that simple that's true and also people with college degrees traditionally earn double the amount right salary that and don't and believe it or not I've read some stuff that's very shocking it like people with college degrees tend to live longer as well which is amazing that might be because the social related to the right having whatever I'm just saying you that there's a treatise there's that an infinite amount of variables and you know if you can afford it I mean if you think it's gonna put you in debt for the rest of your life I don't know I know Jill will probably speak to that next week she has very opinionated thoughts about where the student loan crisis is headed right that's the next one versus housing now is gonna be that chair arm I don't know I mean you know I talked to someone who's skilled in that I just we can only give you practical advice that we've had experience with else without knowing what degree he's trying to get to I would say if you're trying to get a lot some of the general studies away then you know maybe go a little cheaper on that stuff go to a community college right and then you want to major in something later on you do that that's good advice maybe if you just want to do your your prerequisite stuff yeah get that otherwise you have to pay for that I know there's a lot of online classes there are discount right well do that yeah so that's that that's seriously the we just tried as hard as we could answer that as seriously as we use or get a janitor's costume and go and pretend that you're sweeping something up in the back of the classroom you're gonna do a free audit excuse me scientists have faked hello janitor um yeah so good luck with that sir all the best to you and your higher education finally some thoughts on google glass project hey guys is Evan yo guys are talking about the google glasses rajat I don't know you guys were saying I heard you mentioned this a little bit about like privacy and stuff like that as a I'm a cheap teacher incredibly scary to someone like myself I know Jeff you were saying that said earlier you got friends that are teachers and ask them how they feel about this because honestly like I don't want somebody taking a video me at all times if that's what they are in fact able to do with these classes yeah I'd rather remain anonymous so you know my employer doesn't if they check up on kneeling they won't see a video of me just enjoy a beer or something like that and freak out right anyways guys put on a great show as always and uh take care so uh very very valid point being raised right if we live in a world nothing about this is a world where it wouldn't look like this but try and visualize everybody with a lens on their face and that's that's what we're talking about right yeah I mean we've already seen a lot of controversy over people filming the police uh you know with regards to occupy wall street right that stuff so this might make it easier for protesting but for the general population I'd be a little freaked out if I'd realize him was filming me yeah actually I was reading about this story earlier too so sergey brin the co-founder of google was spotted kairana CLE at the foundation Fighting Blindness wearing these project glass glasses um and they I don't know if it's because they're your brain is in the cool lookin dude ever but the glasses aren't exactly fashionable either person who's a couple photos one photo of him prototypes what do you think which is this something you would wear this looks like it would belong in like a chemistry class or something or they look like those tinted lenses that mark words at his desk so that his precious eyes don't get hurt by the monitor yeah I I don't know I feel like we're gonna get to the point where it's like you know they're just gonna have to get a socially acceptable yeah you know what you mean yeah it's not going to be right from the get-go just how 3d glasses are sort of people are still hands off ish with them right dude I mean I would prefer for Google to just come out with a clip like an ad on wireless club that you could you know throw into any pool right you know that would be cool or attached to your eyebrow or something we'll see let us know what you guys think um we gotta head out of here everyone have a great holiday
