2012-04-11

with the unlimited food and the unlimited amazed man have you ever been on a cruise i have yeah you gonna cruise to mexico all the time all what does that mean all the time uh maybe like once a year like during the summertime yeah our family would take cruise that's nicer nothing crazy ever happened though well we did would just eat a lot of food wake up at eleven o'clock for the even type of thing that's what it's all about the food man you eat so much food oh the bad me jitna magicians to the bad the legends yeah what was his medians hit mrs. yeah yeah i was at trilla question one that's terrible there there there on the on there pretty low on the totem pole which say i'd say so it goes like ditions can you neighbors can you name one venture besides like Jeff Jeff Dunham that's a he he owns the whole market they give Jared and he was a 30 lost him yeah you know it's sort of like with John Malkovich did or excuse me what what's-his-face didn't being john malkovich uh he's like I'm gonna be a puppeteer now all right okay your puppeteer now I'll make the necessary call he's the most famous puppeteer of all time yeah so the reason we're talking about Cruz is we uh you know we read read it a lot Justin to myself too yeah are you falling to what my wife calls a reddit black hole yeah yeah I'm not that rabbit all the time spiraling there's some good stuff on there though there is some good stuff and one of these good stuffs that we're talking about is something i came across yesterday holy God there are people who didn't know that the Titanic disaster actually happened I'm not joking there are people who were tweeting early in April about the fact that oh my god i just learned that the titanic really happen if now before we read some of these off and you can agree or disagree with me you know how I feel about these things if you've tweeted that you didn't know the Titanic was a real disaster yeah well you should be kicked off Twitter you shouldn't be tweeting yeah you should be clicked writing about your ignorance on twitter is not good I have a problem with that tube people it's like almost trendy to be an idiot right you know I'm so adorkable yeah you know I I didn't know right Oh gravity's real the worst is yeah they just okay so let me read off this you will switch him off looks real charlotte hall she says is it bad that I didn't know the Titanic was real always thought it was just a film you a-hole she isn't a young person either this she looks to be maybe at least 18 years old no one that can drive should not know that time some schmuck named Brittany nobody told me Titanic was real how am I just finding this out yeah read one uh guys god I'm sorry let me read it off in the voice you probably roasted guys the Titanic was real hashtag mind blown I can't deal with this I like that I didn't like the same kinds of people that didn't know uh Billy Crystal uh who Billy Crystal was we write in the Academy Awards which maybe isn't as bad if you know that's it's an act it's not as bad as the Titanic but an Oracle landmark mr. dragon slayer yeah clearly is educated the Titanic was real holy s I'm never going on a cruise yeah you moron it was a hundred years ago yeah it really happened a lot of people died so this is because ten kate winslet was on it did they just really thought that like oh my god attend it was just a beautiful love story that James Cameron cog is it and you know I guess James Cameron neglected to put based on a true story hahaha the beginning of the grad is there holy God I'm sorry not they shouldn't be kicked off Twitter they should just be put in jail let's just put him in jail before they grow up to commit crimes because no one that's stupid we'll be able to get through life just on honor did you know that a king kong was also based on yeah yeah yeahs surface so it's Twilight based on true story I would the reason I think these people should not be allowed to post on Twitter is because to me twitter is about progress right and it's about the fertile it's not though as we can tell that by every day's trending topics yeah but to me it's like man this should be the the world's knowledge being shared people like this you're not a bringing anything to the table so just get off worthy characters Jack and Rose made up for the movie the who cares that's what I want to know if not point I know but if we're diving into the its historical fiction okay so they were probably people in love on the boat I'm sure one or two people were gonna like I need jack is maybe one guy named Jack I mean the thing was enormous there are a rose there are a lot of people yeah I mean even but do they bow to the character it doesn't matter even if you like the I've see how many times have you seen like Titanic photos yeah real photos of the real ship underground how many times have you seen like an exhibit at a museum museum but right like how do you yeah government am I crazy I remember learning about it in Elementary's exactly like they teach all the whole lesson about yes so about what happened and about it and they show pictures and everyone knows the iceberg story you know and these people are like nope it's real let me go tell the world yeah uneducated and stupid i I'm not that mad about it I mean young they probably don't teach that to young people it doesn't matter i didn't let anything else crucial to knowing you know i mean if someone had said what happened on that one day I temperature 2001 but I would be appalled but that was ten years ago Titanic Titanic I'm sorry major deal it's not a big deal in in our live yeah it means nothing to us horrible tragedy horrible tragedy but it was a hard to do it I can't say it's a big deal now because no one I mean I'm sure there may be there's a survive like one or two survivors of that I don't know but it's just crazy to me I know arrest them by media I go see all their Haiti no I'm not gonna see Titanic in 3d i still have not watched the whole film back the front back yeah wait really you never seen the whole film before front to back now just quit halfway through no I saw its four and a half hours right second the only part I wanted to watch was the you know the news zinke sinky other than the nude part of course there's a new part yeah there's a pg-13 I'm gonna draw you like one of my french girls i c'n and get that reference what yeah this is the part where he sketches her out when she's like line is they're full there's full frontal yeah well full frontal is normally for dudes for sure we're talking about Buddhist term full frontal can go is unisex oh sure it is people only talk about full frontal when it's like a dong now I disagree like Mark Wahlberg full frontal and boogie nights all the time they're not on my Heather Graham yeah but it means the same i think i've always thought i was just for men oh really yeah all right anyway so the yeah it's like the one where he's drawing her naked boobs asunder you have to sit in that pose the rest of the show I lovely hey just in any way so you want to buy instagram no i don't have a million dollars its salient a billion dollars don't you think okay what are you write great facebook bought it yeah the I don't know you first you got draw something we use though I mean everyone surprised yeah it's not just me a billion-dollar they bought uh they bought draw something what what company was that OMG pop Zynga boy oh boy OMG pop right and with it came down for like a hundred thirty million dollars i think was 210 one was all said about that yeah although we're evaluating that Instagram was get sold to somebody for a quarter million dollars like two weeks ago a billion then a half a million dollars a week ago turns out yesterday Facebook bottom offer billion dollars now look I'm not them i I'm I'm not the X I'm not the official expert I think that's too much money it's too much money it's too much money I don't think instagrams worth a billion dollars why not because I just think they're it it's this bubble thing all over again you know I mean no I don't think it's just overvalued first of everyone and their mother about the zynga thing right there's no one that would disagree with that a billion dollars i mean yes they were doing a better job at mobile photo sharing they were then Facebook they were 30 million registered users you don't think that's worth a billion dollars and then all the information to share about themselves i don't know we've talked about how facebook on cells advertisements based on blocks of Ages right right like you know if you want to buy the 18-24 blanket you can advertise specifically to that demographic I understand imagine how much information they can glean from people based on the photos they post and then you can geotag an Instagram 2 million dollars which is all really valuable think about what a billion dollars is I just think that proves how much of a threat instagram pose to face i think that's what it is too and i think and who knows what the back door you know meetings really uh uh were made up of right you know who that they might have gone back and forth there's Facebook saying instagrams going to be a separate entity they're really not gonna touch it yeah you know they just sort of want that under the umbrella Facebook's also never been able to really perfect the whole mobile platform to that during I was I right about that that's something I think they bought into with instagram is no one ever uses the facebook app it's an iphone personally i'm on the instagram app are far more when you go on facebook on your phone what do you do to use a nap or do you go to their mobile site I never do it period I only only use their app if I get a notification any to check something their mobile sites getting down a volunteer pick up I think their mobile site is getting better yeah but i think the core idea of facebook people don't want to check on the go you know you're not really worried about what status updates people are poised right there's too much information on facebook right to be linked with instagram they just want to see oh what's jeff looking at right now it's one aspect of someone's life is this where I get instagram I think you should probably stop being a biatch and do it right in the tune yeah number two can't instagram i'm pretty sure you still below with instagram this it's funny cuz yesterday I almost came out and said I didn't know I know what it is of course I do you know don't know the ins and outs of it though all the kids on the Lower East Side are all about you know I'm gonna be a bit know there are hashtags Instagram dude what there are I did you know yeah okay yeah and I know you can file people on it i know the whole deal I'm just understanding what tumblr is okay one step at a time baby steps all right gravy baby baby steps oh man so I think there's only like a dozen employees at Instagram still right don't know I think so it doesn't matter Lee small startups billion down billion dollars but that's a lot of money they're doing cash and stock too isn't that that's just so I think the CEO isn't is getting 400 million something like that i read it's really upset think about that they're two years old the company yeah you know who's next who Pinterest Pinterest you think is next oh yeah pitchers only been around for what four days yeah I mean that's what feels like a better that time it's yeah it's four years but in reality if we just hatched your next uh comic Jimmy after four days just make up a company right yeah we were trying it's funny vigil requires non existing company for four million google acquires his thought unnamed bars and harvard congrads thought yeah eight billion dollar yeah that's what it should be we are we we started doing it before the Instagram story broke it's gonna be about the mac virus yeah but um but but yeah which google acquires head scratch from 15 billion bill liars napkin doodle mmm we believe that you that's more of an onion headline yeah then a comic the comma gonna have a hard time visually presenting that you could show okay do I call it magic shoe thousand truths the bubble all over again but it's so much it's so much it's more than a mega mega size rise in the.com bubble in like the late 90s and early 2000s more of like everyone just starting up doing a start-up I feel like this is just a lot of acquisitions right do you know what I mean so it's a little different than that i'm curious to hear what jill has to say about this if she can really speak to that right we're gonna have Ron tomorrow helping out with your last minute tax questions and whatnot so give us a call 866 44 cnet or you can tweet us tweet her and she'll answer some questions you know who really got jacked in this whole deal was that hipstamatic I bet there so pissed right now so explain that cuz I'm not too familiar with its Matt I've heard of it I didn't get hipstamatic before either but as far as I know it was just another exam has the better name yeah it's Graham as a far better name but it's just another digital photography app and they introduced the idea of filters yeah you know like making it look like antique film camera right I think they started that retro trend in on in mobile photography yeah but you know like there's a million of about their Instagram camera bag is another iphone right popular app if it when you really must be pissed they must be pissed off man piss my face buys hipstamatic that's gonna be the next but Leinster buys canada yeah when you really think about and we do make fun because i do think for better or worse they have changed the way photography is looked at ya RAB here crappy um so you know who knows what of what that will sort of result in in the long run but in just two years they went from literally nothing to a billion dollars that ain't bad yeah and you gotta give him credit it's Graham smart they sort of combined facebook and twitter with twitpic on ya own app it's so easy to use yeah that's a problem that's what tumblr so big yeah cuz it's so freakin easy to use one thing does it really well man when carpet used to hang out with carb you like guys I'm looking for investors were such idiots yeah he was like hey give me five bucks I'll give you ten shows that never happened but if it did would you have been on though I'd it sir hindsight's twenty-twenty huh yeah why have we used to be like boys become yeah I think we've been three times twice yeah uh going back to our rundown there's something going on in New York City with our public pay phones believe it or not New York City does have a few public pay phones left in fact we have a few outside our office here right ah there never used their more of like bathroom stalls right but there's a new initiative in Manhattan to replace the pay phones with smart screens yeah so tell us about this so 250 phone booths around the city will be replaced with this pilot program they're gonna start that i believe next month instead they're gonna install these touch screens which i've actually already started seeing in the city where's one uh um I think in the east village they already guys sorts of receptacles Dupree video phone booth but yeah I think they're how they'd like 20 9220 42 32 32 inches yeah those are huge men yeah so uh these will be turned into like Wi-Fi hotspots that you could walk up to eventually be able to check your email and maybe even participate in a webcam chat through apps like skype right directly on these things of course there will also be clogged down with advertisements yeah and whatnot but i'll also give you information like I guess if there's subway delays or traffic information I feel like they're bringing the text the back of the taxi cab experience together putting on every street corner right but the what's the first thing everybody does with a junkie exactly off shut up and now they're just gonna put this and you know as soon as you walk by it's going to be like one of those you know channel 7 updates yeah the revenues coming in right like shadow I'll just gonna turn all these off right we were wondering how is is going to be sanitary but apparently near the city of New York claims these are more sanitary than ATM machine yeah and that they're going to be power hosing them they'll be jet hosing them on the reg that word jet hose yeah it'll be doing that I'll be done every day every day means yeah they said the screens will be dustproof and waterproof and cleaned every day with a jet hose huh all 250 locations that's just really important because I try to touch anything in New York City so I are you like me and every time you leave your office or even go outside to the outside New York world yeah you come back and you wash your hands yeah you don't do that no you see you like your fingers I go it and in Eli's got em yeah finger-licking good yeah that's what you did haha but if I ever go into a subway or yeah I think then you should write all you what's the grossest thing is pushing those turnstiles the subway turns down you don't see me I'll see people just grab it with her there man like that I do with my knee man I just kick it yeah cool you can't there's not a room boo you kick it open yeah and all through the same let's go to say the back must hit you in the head it's ridiculous yeah look is right people dragging their fingers across the screens all day long not interested in partaking yeah yeah uh I've ever you've lost your cell phone a few times right oh yeah all time Perry's r us why the US wireless carriers are creating a database Universal database to help fight phone theft so basically it's a database that will try and prohibit people from reactivating stolen or lost devices makes sense it's a universal sort of thing it'll stretch across all the major carriers in the United States yeah uh it's a smart smart idea this is really smart so they're gonna um I believe AT&T verizon sprint and t-mobile yeah all for the big carriers sure are doing this um basically they're gonna assign IDs cell phone IDs to each account okay and you'll have to provide this ID if you want to reactivate a phone once it's been lost gotcha so that'll prevent people from you know finding something in the back of a cab for example and then just starting to use it you know like you can disable it over the phone reactivate it over the phone but you'll need that ID and I think the biggest thing is the sim card thing yeah where it's just like all I could just pop my sim card in and it's my phone right so that is this gonna sort of interfere with that the ease of doing that as well or now I think you're gonna that so the sim card will be attached to that IDs okay um if you don't have it then you won't be able to activate it afterward pretty sweet crazy part there you go now you can all lose your phones with no worries because whenever I used to lose my phone it would drive me crazy just don't store the ID on the phone of course that's kidding though I've never done that ya i've never lost the phone if you wait what I've never lost the cell phone what are you talking you told us a story a couple weeks ago I might have left it in a freezer yeah that's right I didn't lose it still in my freezer you've never still imminently lost from never buy a new never neither vine thank you Richard us normal people here uh I've misplaced my phone yeah I would you got it back but I've gotten it back alright so that does act that's us I've lost my wallet though the first time that I went to bummer first time I ever visited New York City was when I was in Middle never i had a wallet with me and i paid the cab driver to get from the airport to the hotel yeah and lost the wallet in the cab that day is is right when i had arrived i get a good wallet losing sorry that's that's got to be scary though here's your young yeah i was traveling by myself i was back from college and i just graduated um and I went to the gamestop in there my house I bought a game and I like a dingleberry must have just left my wallet on the counter so I get home and it was right around the corner I get home and I'm like oh man where's my wallet yeah so I call up the gamestop I'm like hey I think I left my wallet on the counter there they're like yes some kid came in and took it huh and I was like wait a minute you just let some kid take a mistake like a wallet without asking him if it matched the ID yeah they're like yeah he said it was his I was like all your well your yeah you're no help didn't bother just open that ten minutes later I get a knock at my door it's the kids mom like hey my little SH you know I kid she literally said that my little crap kid stole your wallet for gamestop here it is all the money and everything that's awesome she I guess she knew where my street was rushing up in the ID card that isn't that crazy yeah that is that's awesome always counting little bastard yeah you steal my wallet rap yeah hell man that's not cool did you have a lot of money in that or something like 80 bucks in there okay you know yeah trying to tell me like though yeah he was super site said I got just wallet why'd you take it home because he's a little after a little pilfering bastard anyway we got to take a break when we come back something amazing from maxim that's right Maxim is still a magazine they've got an awesome list that we want to share with everybody stick around there's a lot more 40 for coming right after this be right back this is the 404 effers the show where we all sing songs and it describes her horrifying experience when she first realized the complex was on fire well i woke up to go give me a cold pop then I told somebody was barbecuing I said Oh Lord Jesus it's a fire then I ran out I didn't grab no shoes and none Jesus waiting for my life that didn't a smoke get me I got bronchitis hey nobody got time for that salutations all this is what's Palm Beach from the Sean and you're listening to the 40 flan seen it where oh don't you not bad sounds a lot like inspector gadget's arch-nemesis mr. Klaw dr. claw is that one maybe they just called them send your claw the hell is hiring what what Oh Matt brow is it late I thought I was like he's like that brother what he was a voice of Inspector Gadget how lame was that Matt Broderick Ferris Bueller honda commercial really bad bright yeah the Super Bowl 10 tell dr. claw dr. claw hey I was right Oh get you Bechet yeah wow that's not going to yeah yeah not so easy give me some more that uh Michael is do you cough all day brother yeah wow so Maxim magazine were you guys into Maxim hell yeah back in the day not really bridges like no didn't read it I you're the man returns like uh nope nope definitely not could no that's interesting look he's bright red I love it was not a fan uh anyway I remember when I first started working for mice the startup that I was into in 1999 maxim was our Bible right maxim was like the go-to it really was I'm trying to think of an online sort of equal for it porn not really porn uh because it was it was playboy without nips yeah I mean yeah uh but it was funny in there is manswers yeah but in that was the man show right persona into a magazine uh and I used to love it I used to subscribe ace thing is great obviously the internet had its way with Maxim there was always a Scott Steiner right format right Scott signees right remember I got it because I would always sign up for these free magazine subscription right yeah line I matters Ben's bargain net yet would always be offering free issues of maxim GQ uh whatever publishing company this is a con day I'll who is it I forget who publishes them I don't know yeah I remember I had so many Maxim's that when I put them on my shelf remember the binding of the magazine was always a sliver of a picture usually look of like a bikini-clad girl yeah and if you had like the entire year yeah yeah like the binding picture would make a giant picture yeah I love that so I had so many that I think it's alpha matte bookshelf uh what is it it's alpha Media Group puts out maxin did not know that I know nothing about Maxim I haven't read one in a while but uh one of our good buddies sent in a link that is actually kind of relevant to our show it's eight ways to make a game or happy and I guess it's aimed more towards the female end of a male/female relationship or just maybe the person who doesn't play games it was the person who doesn't okay um so there's eight tips on how you can make the gamer in your life happy male female does not matter number one get a clue okay not saying you should fall in love the call of duty but it'd be nice if you had some idea of what the hell we're talking about when we use gate when we use words like gamertag matchmaking or tea bagging which is a big online practice you're just you're just sort of oh you start making your way through the maximal set here uh number to play play a game from once in your life chances chances are there's a video game you already like so just take a look at your iphone there's a huge audience for casual console games I disagree with this one playing call of duty and being able to relate with your significant other / call of duty just because you play scramble with friends right doesn't doesn't really work ok have some perspective gaming keeps us in the house and relatively subdued think of the alternative we could be spending 12 hours every weekday out on the golf course or in bars getting crap face with our buddies rent resenting us for spending sixty dollars in 40 hours with mass effect 3 is understandable but also it was understandable is that a word but also temporary pretty interesting this these kind of sucks really suck yeah if I don't know they just seem very stereotypical then they saying cosplay put on an outfit yeah mix it up I think this is making things worse for gamers actually just I think this is proof why no one yes isn't pretty but did you read this before well I read the the sub headlines he is a decent idea yeah this just seems really gross not working address again read this cosplay one this really drives it in it says guys like it when girls put on sexy outfits for them and gamers like it when girls put on sexy outfits from games they like a cosplay equals costume play it's such a big deal check his gaming stack then google said title with the word cosplay tacked on for some instant sexy time inspiration I was just about to let maxim back in my life yeah and now it's like hey you just blew it tequilas it's you know that was nice and organic yeah we realized it on the fly this sounds like the tucker max wrote for the magazine yeah I'd no idea that bad before we hit voicemails I want to talk about best buy yeah their CEO Brian Dunn has resigned they've closed a lot of stores what's going on with best buy the writing is on the wall the writing's on the the comment section of this Maxim article 2 i'm sorry last thing I'll say about this story look at this first comment really like I it says John Benton whoever wrote this should be dragged behind a barn and shot liked 62 times truth hurts man okay let's let's move on now I'm talking about best buy that's fine i'm talking about was less time you're in the best buy uh tease a bathroom maybe three weeks ago really yeah we're in New York yeah the one on fourteenth Street um you gotta imagine they're really sort of shaking in their boots a little bit like I said they've closed multiple stores yeah although there are they seem to be doing well in certain categories in the tablet category right but those things sell themselves not so well in others um I mean what do you think I mean circuit city I mean they're they've been gone for almost ten years now it was like best buy they have too many stores that's very clear they pop up like weeds right what do you think I mean so we talked about the story couple weeks ago I guess they were closing down a Sun setting if you will they were subsetting 50 of their stores right around the country which is hughes and huge that's true like you know best buy stores are everywhere yeah there's too many them there's there's even best buy vending machines I'm not joking you go to an airport you go there's a best buy vending machine by like an iPad Africa's energy yeah ridiculous yeah but I came for the last time actually need to go to a best buy for I mean aside from the restroom right cracking codes but I'm just really curious I'm een you got to imagine that they're them sort of uh having their CEO resign and he claims it was a sort of amicable separation they have to bring in somebody who will literally change the face of the entire franchise right someone to literally right the ship and make it so that Best Buy does not fold do you ever go to bestbuy.com and obviously like their biggest competitor right now online is Amazon sure but I'm wondering if the website even attempts to compete with their retail model do you know what I mean I me on right now they're comparing the big box store at amazon.com the only time I ever go to that Best Buy website is to really just check stock yeah if I need something that I know I can't get any cheaper and it's just in because the best buy is on the corner of where I take the path train back to Hoboken I'm obviously just gonna hop in there and just grab what i gotta do even though it is so painful going into these stores it's funny you go on like Google Maps and you see the ratings for these best buy stores and they're like half a star the employees cannot know they it's it's really really sad and there was a time and I think it also changes by where you are um but I remember time where it was knowledgeable people were really into it maybe it was because it was commissioned based I don't know right but things are much worse now and something's gotta change yeah some does have to change uh let us know what you think about that interesting to hear if we know anybody who was the best about yags out from Best Buy employee yeah there's gotta be at least 40 of them I feel like whenever I go into best buy now no one's actually asking them for advice it's more of a stock issue right is I do you have any more the right I was just walking around reason why I asking this person yeah you know us five people on the best buy the same question you'll get five different answers you know I I think the reason is because we get hired at bestbuy it's not like because your cell phone expert or because you know a lot about scary ass yeah they probably just get placed in whatever department for that day you just play could be refrigerators right could be stereo equipment and I hate to really knock against it but I'm sorry we're being honest the best buy experience has turned negative it just has and I don't think you'd find many people who disagree with that cuz they're a better is there a better electronics retailer that you'd rather go to like are you a pc richard & sunday family owned ones i mean son sucks ones that are ones that are independent yeah you know like tekserve toka tech service amazed right right David's it's it's mostly mac and but it's computer peripherals and whatnot tekserve is fantastic compusa I know still around a lil are they do users already understand him in a while yeah why would I go into a compusa the world's biggest compact reseller that's right i remember going in to compusa and buying like the super super low like value rack games right you know if you need like a USB microphone right right you got a copy i think i got a couple mice there right yeah yeah i mean you know it happens I'm not happy people losing jobs over it but you can't stop evolution all right before we go calls from the public I'm to show the love 86 for scenic calls from the public time apparently i ignited people's memories with the ir 7000 here's Larissa hey guys Marissa from houston i was listening to today's show monday when you were just talking about going home and finding all your old stuff and i totally forgot that i had that same exact they go no I know what it was called the little PDA thing I totally forgot that I had that until I saw the picture of it and I was like crap i had that same thing and i didn't know anybody else who had it so like I think you were supposed to be able to like send information back and forth I didn't know anybody with one so that feature was pretty much pointless and I mean I was like I don't know 10 or something I didn't have a schedule but I would like calendar the crap out of things I had to go to school on Monday through Saturday I will sweep in and watch cartoons I can't everything in that thing in my contact like we all had the same phone number in the same house but I would like mom's phone number dad oh crap in that thing so yeah that was cool and you should totally whip this out and see if i can find mine and then we can send data back and forth to each other cuz i never got to use that aww that is so adorable that it really is cute I um yeah the thing is though is that it was infrared that's the only way you had communicated so Larissa will literally have to come to New York yeah and stand with intense for us to communicate with our 7,000 i gotto next time i go back to my parents place i gotta i'll bring that back yeah it is and i remember there was this like battle mode it was like pokemon where you it was like a turn-based battling right you know yeah that's not that far off the technology we use now like with bump or whatever it's the same idea or even with pda's I remember when Palm Pilots gameplay like asteroids are your babies too much Craig infrared they basically did like a personal notebook like personal journal and made it transparent so it would look cool because you could like see the insides a little bit this is basically like a language transair with a there's a full keyboard on it so you felt like that was worth something I like a shoes putting in everything from her five-year-old you list or whatever exactly it's like why you marketing this towards kids when kids don't have business live right I mean if you keep something like this to a kid now oh it's slap you in the face this is worse than a calculator you might you might as well give them ball in a cup yeah it's the same usefulness another dollar scheme on this to it so deliciously nineties it is awesome IRA you don't understand how insane I got over this thing I could not wait until I guy I was getting for Hanukkah some I can remember and I was just like I can't wait design was really really popular in the 90s especially for electronics translucency yeah it sure is over I had like a translucent Game Boy yeah love looking inside of it and look at these working parts cool my neighbor was translucent you had a beep my organizer was trans loose us so cool you had a beeper even quicker clickers remember those mechanical pencils those are translucent you could see inside you see the guts of the mechanical pen yeah there you go it's the future well let's go back give me a break we talked a little bit about using an iPad or a tablet or any sort of device yeah in your place of worship let's let's hear what our buddy has to say hey the 404 this is a sin Kiyoshi and you guys are talking about the iPads and etc in church and i'm a member of the Mormon faith and actually the Mormon Church is very tech forward very a lot of apps for the hymns and the Scriptures talks everything even a family history genealogy there's so many apps at the LDS Church is coming out with and it's really cool I mean we just in our building we just installed Wi-Fi let it be know the password they know that came and so people can use technology in the excited school class etc so it's pretty cool it is gone I don't know I i I'm not a practicing Jew but we yeah so good imagines tablets in service I don't know I I don't know I feel like because it varies by religion in church I mean yeah Richard what do you have to say about this yeah i'm i was raised mormon well i still go occasionally not as much as I used to but yeah you can see like the church has an official app you can reload and it has like all the scriptures and manuals it's on the school match door and all that yeah that's awesome yeah and you can get like the hymns and it really yeah huh so um it's interesting because like in church you see like everyone has their like in sunday school class everyone just has their phone or their tablet really they're reading the scriptures and falling along with moss and stuff yeah that's pretty cool like that um I was reading in that new york times article we taught me yes sir there's a website called uh we gather dot-com okay I guess I'm lets you cater your churches uh sir like you know your churches uh whatever right to uh to this app but you also make in-house donations using this app as well so you can tether it to whatever you're gonna get away that easily exactly so you can you know tithe using your tablet right instead of actually passing around the tray yeah interesting I I'd never thought I would see some like that I never thought that you would not be able to speak negatively about a religion as we're talking about holding it in you're about to puke right next oh hey 404 is Arizona from Josh I just had a question regarding venmo for Justin I have recently downloaded and set it all up but one thing I'm wondering is if you're required to have funds in your venmo account in order to make payments and or to charge people and to if there is a limit on how many payments you can make from your linked bank account so i was just wondering if you happen to know about that anyways love the show thanks yeah I've no I totally unfamiliar with venmo yeah you or not no I am very familiar yeah I use it all the time it's perfect for like when you're out to dinner with friends or something right split the bill and I'll you owe me like 10 bucks you just do that through venmo it's an app for android or iphone so uh Souter's question yes um so you can either have a credit from whatever your friends send you you know that'll go into your venmo balance Ryan also add money to your balance like you would like an arcade sure so you can load up card you can load it up and that goes from like your checking account I believe if you want to do it from your bank I think you're limited to thousand dollars a week so that's the limit so that's that's not a bad limit free according to venimos faq ever you know I I'm sorry to like get it down to this level yeah but you gotta imagine there's like drug dealers doing this sort of stuff yeah and it I feel like that's a pencil Jesus hints maybe then right out there ladies do you think there's any drug dealers that take square do you know what I mean well they were giving out free square hardware for awhile anyone could get one I'm just saying I'm not endorsing it or anything and I don't know how easy it is to fly under the radar yeah but and you can annotate to according to what sale you're giving it like lettuce pound of snow pound two thousand dollars oh dear whatever the going price I don't know I don't do those things you know not to say that I want someone to call up and explain that to her than that out to grass shavings you know dollars pen session oregano uh we
