you see you Livvy it's good really did I've just been on this three amigos binge and I can't say it's not because of our e Boyce mail from yesterday that we got our non screen voicemail why didn't we check with someone that had to be someone in the off believe it or not nobody that I know here's the expand 'ish also pretty sure the word PP isn't an actual Spanish for appellant you to be inferred what that meant anyway well we'll get to that later that's funny though it is funny we have a lot of spanish-speaking uh fans who call made a huge mistake and told us that they laughed so hard milk came out of their nose they weren't even drinking though so uh coming from all ends yeah we'll get to that in the third part of the program today thanks for tuning in to our show we've got a great show planned even though I lie when I say that what we have nothing planned a rundown house any different it's not different but that's that's the charm of the show that's what give me always described sometimes these describe the show is the seinfeld the podcast yeah it's not about nothing yeah you really are el jefe from that's what I am El Guapo yeah URL hair yeah all right so good el jefe jefe means boss in Spanish oh it doesn't yeah okay yeah I know the language only when it matter you know did you take Spanish in high school I did five years and you know boss in the box yeah those fine and I know in biblioteca oh right Basu herro the Afghan donde SE bano right most of my spin I took Spanish in high school but most of mine I picked up actually living in Florida she's like everybody is like hat have to say to suspect yeah stahl esta el gato and mis pantalones there's a catch your pants yes Spanish baby inside the loading human tires you took AP Spanish and you didn't know what was being said yesterday I I mean he said really quickly it's been 30 years since I've been in high school yeah even though 30 years 65 years old you are 65 you are the old man of the 404 don't you know it oh no it's frozen again what are our livestream about what else is new all about that so yeah obviously we're we're keeping that in the back of our mind we're trying to get that fixed so uh you know everyone is watching Life go to use dream because it's working no matter okay let's just get back into temporary salut uh what's going on today what we want to talk about let's talk about watching TV yeah what do you think that if you guys had to guess what do you think is the world record for the most hours spent watching TV in a row what do you think it is well does that actually watch how many hours yet is that actually watching not going to sleep I bathroom breaks all they do that content yeah yeah I remember seeing a story about this years ago where they like put like 12 people in the room who claim they can watch TV non stop writing only allowed like was with like five minute naps or right exactly given buckets to urinate in etc yeah they get really yeah he in the and your ice cream look away no you can't look away it's like you know project in Clockwork Orange oh my god Blaire lows pin your eye and if you gotta go number two you're still sort of just sitting there depends well you are sitting literally depends you have to wear it depends oh no no but seriously what do you guys think is the World Record the Guinness world record for most consecutive okay under those circumstances I'm going under a honey it's under horrible 720 I'll say 72 hours it's a eighty six hours huh uh you're close eighty six hours six minutes and 41 seconds that is trying to be and then the person died then the bricklayer uh no but the there's a marathon challenge right now to beat that world record um it's in an effort to beat it for the Simpsons 500th episode oh really yeah so there so the 500th episode is coming up for the simpsons and in Hollywood today if you live in the LA area you could head down to hollywood and highland park at five-thirty p.m. today and people will be trying to spend a four day long marathon trying to beat this 86 our record well you gotta have your goals yeah how do they have a Guinness people there to actually check like whether anybody like Phil's yeah yep yep gimme will be on record with the clipboard and uh problem Red Bulls to make sure known falls asleep hey you know good for these people if they can afford to take the time off and do this yes crap you know like more power it sounds like a it sounds really cool sounds like especially if you're like a big Simpsons fan but I feel like the the moment you walk into this I guess it's a park right yeah no it's not a park it's an actual bit take an office it's an office it's on highland park though you sort of lose that like camaraderie and like the the challenge you have to like sign away the rights your life in case you die I imagine yeah I'm assuming you forfeit any kind of employment that you previously had as well right hey I need to take about five days off to watch the simpsons straight right and they're like sure please here's a man who's a bonus if they were smart they would have held this on april twentieth they're just saying just saying that was probably home just a thought yes is there any kind of show that you guys have ever watched consecutively you know like they did in college they did the when the final Lord of the Rings movie yes I was about to say kareena road yeah like the extended editions they they ran in a theater and it everybody bought like sleeping bag yeah nobody thought they were make it there yeah yeah yeah it's what the same when you consider to wake the whole the metreon they showed all three movies in a row but obviously you could leave whenever you watch her the restroom it wasn't about a record brick right do right but I did stay it took like 12 hours because it was the uncut version uh-huh and so each movies like four hours long is ridiculous yeah that's crazy to me I drank that Lord of the Rings kool-aid real nice and I even bought that crazy ridiculous five discs each movie yet the extending his leather bound no thing I've never even watched I feel like that's like the last real DVD I ever bought yeah like was like the Lord of the Rings Return of the King the last one that was it like not gonna do it again la does a lot of time to watch these guys walking around but and spectacle movie isn't it it is a lot of walking around the thing that upsets me is the Eagles wait what and I know I'm not the first person to say this I know what the arguments been made yeah but what the f what Gandalf at the end comes in writing on an eagle he's like hey you guys should have taken this transportation right I only took me three days and days I can literally flew from more like in no time and I'm a damn blizzard you really just have to like that inner door about there like all than bouncier like I don't know I'm just making crap up we made up a name I guess I don't know but it's like one of those like the the the nerdy back up like plot hole comes in I don't know but you could say that if they all rode in on an eagle then there's a possibility that sour on that evil I would have seen them coming into Mordor I like that I think that's the argument I family make yeah right plus who knows what the weight capacity for that eaglewood right down there I don't know hobbits you can touch like read Guinness like four times the size of any Hobbit yeah any skinny as hell do and I have like a Gandalf body this you are gandolfi yeah you're one length agenda look in person good ha alright so i will find out i guess in a couple of days whether that uh that record gets broken by the simpsons be ill if it was I just hope nobody dies because of it this is too easy though I mean the simpsons is a relatively easy show to watch for four days in a reg you know like if they really wanted to make it difficult it would have been I don't know like what's a good terrible TV show I just been on way too long yeah something like that I don't know yeah teen Queens I mean even a good show for a while it's tough to watch although I blew through all the episodes of arrested development in like wow yeah too weak ease it was nothing oh I was easy should have made it everybody loves raymond I know I'm with you all the others is like yes whole time in store yeah my brother's real toys haha I can't believe I live moved in next to my paramour on how did you do that yeah why would you do that Carlos Mencia marathon that's what would ya oh yeah job you are correct talk about an awful television can't leave any sharp instruments around not gonna happen uh tell him just tell me about lady gaga's new social network and why the hell she's entering this competitive game well as you know Lady Gaga is a creation of the Internet yeah I'd like she started on their course so last year we talked about this story on she launched something called backplane okay with Eric Schmidt 24 mogu former google CEO right um that was a social media site based for celebrities until I put out the product and have people you know their fans follow them etc so one of back pains co-founders is this guy Troy Carter ok so Lady Gaga's manager and today one of the first one of the first web sites under backplane came out it's called littlemonsters.com and so backplane is basically like a portal for interest groups and this is the first interest group to come out for lady gaga's fans she calls them her little monsters so if you go to littlemonsters.com right now you could see this product basically it takes a lot of different design elements from web sites like Pinterest Pinterest is like a photo pinning website right you can share interest with friends cool stuff it also allows you to comment and favorite things with one click of a button like reddit so it kind of combines all those usual generated websites into one just for Lady Gaga fans right so this can be more perfect for me you can ask you can go right now to littlemonsters.com and ask for an invite but it's not available for the public interesting stuff yeah it's all visual based it's really cool Wilson you look really dubious rated III just think that like for me that is probably the epitome of narcissism what's right social chair mount a by yourself where fans get to post more stuff about yourself right they love you again and again and again i don't know like it it I'm sure it'll it'll be huge millions of people sign up people buy into it she'll sell a million more records and more merchandise but there's something about that just like strikes me as like the epitome of narcissism yeah but subtlety has never been a word and Lady Gaga vocabulary I don't know why you would ever think that she's trying to be modest I'm sure about anything yet well I mean like is she can be well she'd be outrageous without being narcissistic right but she's a celebrity celebrities all about self-promotion that's how they make money registering to sell records here at the end of the day anyway I mean that that's all I'm saying is it when I see that and if I could Jeff did the exact same thing we don't look at him be like okay dude rights wandering off Lady Gaga would I don't know buddy poorly anybody else yeah Nickelback did their that their own like social network would start to make fun of the man but I understand what you're saying it's just I don't know just something about that de smells wrong yeah it's the smell I people love lady gaga they do and aside from whether or not we agree or disagree with this social network of hers I think I learned something today yeah lady gaga is to Justin you as a beggar you'll both go into battle yes to battle for apple or lady gaga the army what am I New Jersey Devil is hockey yeah Gaga's Apple Apple Action question though who do you think would win in a fight to the death fans of Apple or fans of Lady Gaga because there's a lot in both camps yeah or one is a bunch of not one of them I would say like are known for their fighting prowess yeah that's true they're both very dedicated yeah well I'm gonna lie that would be the lamest fight ever one group could be dancing I'm just seeing is a fight you know you talk about Lord of the Rings like all the orcs are coming in all the and it to me that would just be the lamest you know slap fight I've ever seen in my entire life Apple fanboys are just be complaining the entire time baby out of breath yeah yeah i'm logging online and they'd be out of breath they wouldn't even make it to the line of scrimmage and you guys would just fall over yourselves cuz you're all wearing my crazy outlandish about it you can't fight in the heels I think this needs to happen I don't even think like the the two groups could take on you know like 10 Jersey fan they would oh and then are you gonna talk about gay then just put in the haka bit like three over there is just a slaughter that's just a slaughter and you mama just clean up a bit just sweep it up and sweep it up that is funny so they get every day about it I'm telling you man this is super enlightening I'm loving it will take one break we'll come back more 404 right after this stick around we'll see you in a second this is the 404 mr effers the show where we all sing songs hi there Jeremy here from g-form makers of extreme impact protection about to do another extreme demonstration with our case for iphone4 as you can see everything's working videos running em iono here I think I am we're going to take a slap show with this iphone you good kick back there as you can see everything's still functional a little snowy we got a phone call coming in here g-form rpt extreme impact protection alright welcome back to the 404 just when you thought tech and hockey couldn't collab yes why and what's even cooler about that is the G form guys that's what we did our bank video at the CES with that was awesome dropped a bowling ball if you're listening we just watched a video where a I guess a g-form hockey player yeah in one of their cases for the iphone 4s or before i did a slap shot where and the phone company survived no totally fine he just wound up in shadow phone 80 miles an hour into a net yeah in that case that they use for this for i mean you got you you sold me on it and after you beautiful I mean they dropped it from you know everybody for me there and I just wanted to show you that video because it's the first time hockey and technology ever coming nor do we or do we have any of their products here either it's not like they're given a free stuff not reviewing it happen but I mean come on how do you argue with that I wish this technology had been around in high school we did that eggdrop science thing talk about we had to let go a couple stories up and I figure out what to put in this box to make it impact although I think an egg would still break I don't like a lot of people do like the parachute right right would you guys you peanut I did uh this like cotton ache like cottony sort of a inch contrived that did work and yeah I actually don't even I heard about it but it never happened in my high school oh that's like the infamous for poor weekend for eggs what are you talking did it with high school in the exact you don't give me that eggs are basically free why they're not you can buy eggs even if you bought eggs for 500 student it would be like she wonder but backyard without that yeah right well part of Tennessee Oh students farmers anyway couldn't they just brought them from home wrong part of your science teacher was a chicken right you idiot do that again no do that again I just see you like pointing up your dinner the pointing at the board just like all right you guys been together why did you get that is he talking all that I got a copy your notes after class hbu to get a slit to mr. Baucus oh he's so hard to understand these concepts show over my head oh man uh here's an interesting story obviously CS one of the big stories was 3d printers apparently an 83 year old woman has just received the first ever 3d printed ja yeah ja ja willing to replace in your mandible okay so not just like sitting on a prop like somewhere no actually she needed she got it hows about it just so this isn't yeah this is an 83 year old woman as Jeff said the scientists over at the University of hasselt that's over in Belgium uh they could have made her a jaw out of reconstructive surgery that took a little bit too much time and it was risky because of her age so they figured that a tailor-made implant was the best choice sure to keep costs low they had a very limited budget and normally would take a few days to produce this implant they used a 3d printer and it only took a few hours and they usually use this titanium powder so if you saw the videos of the 3d printer at CES you can pretty much use any kind of ingredient you want to make the materials out of right and for this one they used titanium powder and they put it down layer by layer and they had a computer controlled laser that kind of tracked how the correct particles were fused together and eventually was made in a few hours on plane they actually released the details in the plans for how to print your own 3d jaw because that's what I'm gonna make yeah and that that exists on shapeways dot-com yeah so see those are the applications that you need to start explaining to people because when I came home from Vegas and people like do 3d printers tell me about I'm like shoehorns yeah yeah you know dice and they're like cool why am i spending twelve Grand on that okay well how about making a tooth how about doing stuff that you're actually gonna use in your frickin body right may likely stuff like this is really cool and actually on I don't know if you guys saw the story but on torrentfreak calm they just put out a separate section just for 3d printed materials right and so people design their own products and then print them out on their Shapeways printers and here it is so check it out someone actually downloaded and printed a pirate base ship that's all that's the first design to materialize in the real world off Pirate Bay of course how poetic pirate how poetic but it will be the Napster of like pirated models that's what I wanted dude it's a I'm telling you man it's very cyberpunk II well that's actually a problem that people are thinking about in the future you might have to deal with physical piracy Yeah right maybe someone can print their own blu-ray disc or you know they can print it well that dead in the more mature it could already did format you know what I I'm less concerned about like the blu-ray disc and you know like if you come up with a crazy invention you know like a like the starbucks cup holder and everything right like that guy makes millions of dollars right um he's collecting pennies every time like the you get the cardboard one Brett if it's like some sort of invention like that like that could destroy yeah anybody's uh you know potential well sure it's not anything like this klean kanteen perhaps could be 3d printed energy I mean isn't everything technically 3d printed yeah right so I get it well it feels a little strange to not not a thing about it too because like yeah it's the material in the texture rights are like we saw a couple that use plastic right but it's all one plastic then you know once they you know really start to just use anything like I'm talking Fifth Element style when they rebuild her who you know I don't know it we're caught is not the next step I think we're next evolutionary yeah I I think that that is gonna definitely be preparing tendons and organ or yeah like printing a kidney don't they print I know that sounds ridiculous example but then they print that human ear on the back of that Mouse right that's right with that print 3d printed though no they didn't say call the cell yeah it was grown on his back right now it's something what are you doing today well they're gonna grow a human ear on my back so they're gonna do nice little Saturday yeah oh very good speaking of the future this is really cool google has new HUD glasses and they've been spotted in the wild yeah this is really uh undresses legit go call this yeah this is Liz this is would sort of legit uh Justin I'm sure you can speak more is but there oakley thump glasses yeah that's the idea right there's not a lot is known about this right now it's kinda just more rumors around the Google uh HUD glasses that stands for like heads-up display right um this kind of seems like archaic technology in the world of augmented reality when you can just use a device for it okay but anyway um back in December there was some rumors that a heads-up display was coming from google and now a little bit more details are being leaked out about that and they're gonna potentially come in the form of those google thump sunglasses right do you guys know that oh yeah i'm sorry the Oakleaf oh gosh yes those are the ones sunglasses that had earbuds yep on the side um so the now they're saying that this heads up display might include uh all of googles cloud-based location finders they might be able to include a front-facing camera to take photos and gather information about the world around you and then put it up on a screen on right above your left eye embedded into the glass at me translucent ya like like a tart like the Terminator when he walks around you overlay displays rat is like cool / creepy I don't know how I feel about it like I don't they would have to be cooler by now like a contact lens or something you wanna have you like they've tried that they're there that's in development or not an old active development or probably not sure one you know couple decades from now but like that seems like a reality soon i mean the the sensors for the cameras are relatively small red building like 3g into a device is not too hard obviously gonna have to charge the hell out of it right uh and then we like you know the trip semi-transparent TV that you we thought was an actual window you guys thought I apparently that technology exists so you just take someone put it all together you put it all together that I mean it's cool but again it's creepy cuz like I'm wondering like the next time adjusting with me with a pair of glasses in this thing enable because you loading up like Facebook on the side and it'd be all these over the AIDS boogity I I think there's a much bigger story here I think it's the fact that how come science fiction movies pave the way for human innovation at alike how come I maybe I should rephrase it's just it's just weird that that's what's happening do you know what I mean I feel out you know what I'm saying I I feel like that's I mean it's it's what's happened for millennia I'm it's mom hmm movies yeah movies but like science fiction writer right the ones are the imagination ones with the imaginations but it doesn't always mean that that's the direction we need to go right like flying cars hasn't happened and that won't happen I mean flying cars is I mean there there's a practical reality of why that doesn't work but other stuff I mean you know like things like having a computer in your hand right I'd scream Usher and already report like Star Trek for example you like it people thought it was crazy when the 60 that you could care around a computer in your hand when computers used to be the size of like a basketball stadium right so like I think that actually science fiction's when those places you want to look toward right I i I'm not saying I'm against it it's just interesting to me that we almost a strive to achieve that emulation cuz what's always weird is like it's those guys that get made fun of who you know like that's crazy that'll never happen nobody will ever want to like carry a computer in their hand uh it's only that when I was like 5 i'd be like sweet yeah uh let's do that as we can right you know but if you told that your mom she be usually that's great why don't you think is crazy to be like why do i need that and in fact just getting a desktop computer in the first place at home I'm sure your mom why do we need very taboo at the time I think taboo like oh that's just a waste of money right but these are like the people who like have these you know cognitive leaps that people don't generally have right they get it secure the dystopian yes science fiction writers though it's never like the william gibson's of the world I know really want those two cities now I don't want it but use a radio active virus Kamali to take the good with the bad you know much beyond develop zombie aunty zombie take evasive nism there has not rendered all strictly positive results okay yeah buts we can all agree on that right okay so there is a section of this that needs some attention I you know it's not all dandy it's not all flowers and sunshine you wanna go find some radioactive good I'm not saying I want to make me mad make like x-men right saying you know let's uh ok realistic about let's be realistic about this you know the internet the birth of the inner the only reason why the inner ever existed was because the US military was afraid that the Soviets were gonna destroy half the country right and because the networking technology sure they needed something more robust yet that's the only reason why the internet exists it was because someone's like you know what when I people can use their home computers to watch porn of our planet well no I take it back wasn't thank you yeah you get the SSR I take about it wasn't an accident but it was just this sort of side effect if you will just like the invention of the post-it note wasn't was an accident it was a side of it right it was it was anything with a sticky material in the back was an accident something they were trying to make who are they trying to make like glue or something ah I remember the exact story but I do recall specifically that its invention was an accident okay that's pretty cool hey the more you know yeah all right we'll take one more break when we come back we'll get some calls from the public stick around a lot more for for after this you welcome back to the 404 got some calls from the public we want to get to you can video because over here can quit yes yeah what uh do you have that toy what did it was like the AHA described is like a series of slides and then there was plastic penguins yeah would go up the climb up these like stairs and kinda roll around its brolic yeah it's pretty mindless what uh I feel like they were always in like the dentist office right yeah yeah along with those like balls that you could guide around right main rail yeah I was always very fascinated with thumb with like Rube Goldberg stuff guys know the drawings in the well nothing I know carton that would like break over the mic mousetrap sort of stuff uh and just a lot of like pinball II things hmm i don't know if you've ever been actually in the Port Authority they have these massive enclosed structures where they're just a series of you know balls that make their way through an inquiry a crazy track and then they all like loading queue and you know go up the roller coasters you ever build any one of those yourself yeah actually I had something and I always to this day think about it and if anyone listening has any idea about what I'm talking about let us know it was this sort of set that you bought at like a hobby shop and it came with this plastic tubing and a bunch of marbles and motors and stuff and you would design your own like track for this marble to to go along and you built the track and you had to cut the wire and sort of make it work right and uh and it was just like this thing you would build and then you would set it and just watch it very relaxing about watching something like little hypnotic there's something about it this thing is on autopilot and it's just doing what it's doing I don't know but I ever forget what it was called it was so cool yeah but that was literally I'm going 20 years uh let's do calls from the public time to show the love eight horsy net all right plenty of calls today thanks everyone who called in let's hear this first one hey guys it's rochelle from jamaica via Japan and i was listening to episode 987 and thought I'd give Justin a big ups for that Bob Marley birthday show dog yes and to let you guys know that i was listening to some old episodes and came across the Miss Cleo bit and your impressions of the Jamaican accent was just hilarious stitches also in the episode on one you had mentioned snake being the most popular game ever yeah and YouTube has had this for a couple bunch know where every time I video is loading and you have the spinning screen spinning dots on the screen you can actually use your arrow keys and that will start a game of snake oh no no it's not just old people Justin it's born impatient p did you know that i do not know that I did is that true I think it is true I looked it up before I wish I had loaded it up now but I think if you press the left arrow in the up arrow wall a video is loading you know when it has that spinning circle of course um once those dots are loading you just hit those two buttons and then you can actually control a snake game with yeah kind of an interesting little YouTube yeah there's a there's a couple of uh Easter eggs across like the web like that like the right ami code especially yeah a lot like even right enter in on like youtube I think they actually did something with this like a up up down down left right left right ba start and now do you know that and then I are the economic OSes like a very well known oh yeah also he's of the big game alright so we got the call yesterday this the Spanish call and it's made a little controversy we're calling it Spanish gate your benefit uh yeah definitely my bed sure I mean screen these we live in New York man like there's no you couldn't find a single spanish-speaking what are you implying that I walk the sheets Manhattan asking some will you I know why you played is because it was complimentary to you and very insulting to me yeah guys probably knew what it meant in skill plate I plead the fifth on that let's listen to this verse voice phone dude orlando florida from med would I speak Spanish oh yes it's true that's what he said it's true EP penis mmm that's what he said BP is penis Easy's guess she's like beside himself so we did a little translating of our own uh the caller yesterday was talking about our respective anatomies yeah yeah one specific part hello the border penis yeah and someone isolate that sound clip and Jeff this he said that Jeff had a large one I did not have a large one and Wilson just likes them in general yeah apparently i mean i like mine weird i mean yeah i think everyone like their own oh yeah but anyway i think it's also kind of ridiculous nowadays that's even offensive yeah it's not I'm not offended no was offended I mean we had I don't go that way but like whatever so we had a good laugh about it here's losa we haven't heard from him in a while it was the before four this is low so I'm just wanna call in and say that I almost got into an accident yesterday because I was left my ass off can you play that voicemail by that Spanish listener the tech room by the sound of it in the white the way you guys reacted the chat room was one hundred percent correct they uh pretty much told you what it meant you know it's funny uh sky just silly that PP is you know yeah like this is just someone who's surg English his whole life you know PP really a relational spanish translator lease Panish yeah you gonna blame this bandage late as I will you know is that is that what it is hope it's just like in the end it's like what is caca a word to now we're messing around um and then I believe is the real penny yeah isn't like penne vodka sauce um and then we asked me actually its own accord yet eat that from now you had someone called uphams like I speak Spanish that was in bed taste yes hey this is calico from lewis uh I'm just calling about the guy who yesterday was speaking Finnish yes he was speaking about penises and I just wanted to say that not all of us Spanish speakers who listen to your show uh thing in such play yet i found it i thought it was insulting it was ok with bad taste so yeah uh love the show all right so uh yeah I mean we were all we're all buddies and overall friends being we can take a joke but you know I wanted to get everyone's opinion on that especially someone else to speak Spanish they're much better than we do and then no way were we thinking like that represented every Spanish speaking person of course not we weren't thinking yeah of course not we did them every spanish version it is over together don't take everything that guy says serious of course well now we know kool bag though and say something nice in Spanish all right um this is 0 this is this is a funny voice man let's get to it hey guys are you aware that the 404 still not on Wikipedia someone needs to step up and write an article not me though I've done my part I wrote an old age and then I guess he just drives away all right I wrote an open well just the back story on that inside joke is I was involved here and I don't know an old page it well it seems like a competitor and no was like a Yelp COMPOR like a yelper Wikipedia competitor okay all right and someone wrote needed this guy i remember right he wrote the knoll page already drove away uh yeah I don't know there's a long long backstory why we can never have a 44 wikipedia page yeah we've been glass one of us kill someone or does something go to the moon I don't think murder is gonna get us the the page I just think I don't know Wikipedia is dead anyway who we knew the hell go to that they're so 2006 go to reddit.com / r / the 404 yeah reddit there we do much easier anyone can post post whatever you want yeah fine don't worry Yelp page or probably probably probably that but we no longer have a meetup page community no but uh that's crazy though I I I don't know bringing that up is uh brings back some bad memories no we had a bad back and forth of Wikipedia those guys are mean they are very controlled shoulda seen those comments yeah it was like these guys don't deserve it yeah they're scum no they never said that let's do it finally this is an interesting question that we can all speak to a long island from Christian I was just wondering uh could you guys give your uh your cakes on how your college experience was I'm you know next year for school let me go to college I really want to see what you guys take on you know the emotional and experience of going there you I'd really like to get a take up some guy motional cider I of the show but that's what he said was in the emotional all not just the emotional but you know man there's a big question summon it up a little bit yeah this is a this a fun question it it's always it's awesome um but depending it really depends on so many factors like I went like 10 hours away from where my family was so it was like the first time you had like responsibility / freedom all together right you know it's like in high school you you know by the time you're seeing you do but pretty much whatever you want but you don't have to worry about paying the bills or doing anything like that like me going way I had to live an apartment so it was like the first taste of like reality real that's all colleges as far as I'm concerned is learning how to live on your own pretty much you know I mean yeah I learned a few things it did blood make macaroni cheese right round how to eat like crap yeah I learn how to gain weight yeah I think for me or or if I was giving someone advise going to college it is what you make of it you can sit in your dorm room all day play games and I do anything Allah hell of a lot of people do that oh you could go out you could you know we the party too much your friend depend that's a more uh you know your university go school by school on a school bus cool bases arm but it's what you make of it you're gonna get out what you put in right you know on a personal level I would say actually leaving home like going a good distance where like yeah even me my first semester there were a couple of weeks in where I'm like man I really really miss my mom we're like sort of getting over that hump yeah so the learning take care yourself to figure out like who you are and also it's just great I I think that the best part about going to college away from you know home or where you know a lot of people Brett is it it's a reset button yeah you know like a like in high school like you knew people from elementary middle school where you did something stupid and you're always known as that kid who did clean slate clean slate complete clean States late you can reinvent yourself me you can really explore you are writing out of college that I got was some of my best friends sure I'm you know when you're in high school all your best friends are scattered you've been with them for 10 years because you went to elementary school and followed each other all the way up but in college yet like what Wilson was saying get a clean slate and you get to make friends that you know you had that share your new interest in college and so I still hang out with the guys that I went to college with we all move to New York together and so that's that's my advice to him is make as many different kinds of friends step out of your comfort zone if you can and just have fun then also get an internship rightly officially in terms of you know you can tell your freshman self something right now what would you tell don't eat so much ramen dude and get off cos ah I'm knocking out right when I went into a Irish man your dad like pretty imprisoned by that yeah what about you Wilson there's a quote i to myself all your freshman was himself take advantage of everything that set your disposal like I was like hardcore film and because of that I only met and this sounds like a lot only met a couple hundred people but like I went to school with 36,000 people yeah and um I dubbed au vin to it really hardcore uh is a great experience really really hands-on but you know I was a world-class university with so many different resources and like I i really recommend that especially for your under graduate is to be honest when she into the real world with an undergraduate degree almost almost doesn't matter it what you majored in as long as you're not be an accountant or anything with a very specific skillset right arm if you're gonna do something like that get get a masters degree and actually don't kill yourself by going to the most expensive school uh do your undergraduate if you're gonna spend a lot of money go to school do it for your masters your reg go to Community College if you can save any little bit that is be honest you know like undergraduate like most you know most high-end jobs will require like a graduate degree so it doesn't make any sense for you to spend like a hundred fifty thousand dollars of your parents money to go to to just get a bachelor's degree okay there you go me what about you Jeff oh I didn't really want to answer this um I don't know I would definitely say don't be so bummed out all the time were you but I wasn't bummed out but you know I a surprise oh yeah right now just like oh you looked a lot about yourself I would definitely have said maybe be a little more outgoing um but and and I definitely agree with Wilson some part I I was very narrow-minded in terms of what I wanted to do and I you know I actually did do some radio stuff in college but it was mostly film and stuff like that and yeah I would just say uh you know don't be so like yourself yeah Jeff you used to use those opportunities you're you know for sure if you're not you don't like hanging out with the the football guys you don't like it just go get them talk to them I promise you your life change don't don't let your first answer to everything be no right that's that's some some advice I would hand down to little 18 year old Jeff oh he knew so little as 11 years ago that makes me really upset bummer Wow alright I gotta get out of here guys thanks for tuning in eight six six four for Cena is a number to call or you can email us to 44 @ cnet.com okay
