00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.983
(funky music)

00:00:05.125 --> 00:00:08.445
- So the only people who
actually use Groupons are old,

00:00:08.445 --> 00:00:10.837
so I'm checking in with
some senior citizens

00:00:10.837 --> 00:00:14.191
to see what they were Grouponing in 2011.

00:00:14.191 --> 00:00:16.781
- I really regret being part of this now.

00:00:16.781 --> 00:00:18.766
- I really started using Groupon

00:00:18.766 --> 00:00:20.101
about a year and a half ago.

00:00:20.101 --> 00:00:22.838
- It's almost trendy again,
you're kind of like a hipster.

00:00:22.838 --> 00:00:24.694
- Yeah, exactly. I'm bringing it back.

00:00:24.694 --> 00:00:25.573
- You're bringing it back because

00:00:25.573 --> 00:00:27.177
it definitely isn't cool right now.

00:00:27.177 --> 00:00:27.507
- No.

00:00:27.507 --> 00:00:30.923
- So Allison, back in
2012 you got yourself

00:00:30.923 --> 00:00:33.709
a 60 minute Swedish
massage from Bodis Spa.

00:00:33.709 --> 00:00:37.984
What could have been stressing
you out so much in 2012?

00:00:37.984 --> 00:00:40.168
Did you crack your iPhone 3s screen?

00:00:40.168 --> 00:00:41.932
- My wife's birthday was coming up,

00:00:41.932 --> 00:00:45.116
so we went to what was called
"Pirate's Dinner Adventure,"

00:00:45.116 --> 00:00:45.926
but here's the thing--

00:00:45.926 --> 00:00:46.679
- I (stutters)

00:00:46.679 --> 00:00:51.679
- This was vampirates. So
basically that means replace rum,

00:00:52.171 --> 00:00:54.075
like yo ho ho in bottle, with blood.

00:00:54.075 --> 00:00:56.983
- So your first Groupon expired in 2011.

00:00:56.983 --> 00:01:01.087
I mean back then Barak
Obama was on his first term,

00:01:01.087 --> 00:01:03.274
he wasn't even running for reelection.

00:01:03.274 --> 00:01:05.799
This is like dinosaurs were
walking the earth back then.

00:01:05.799 --> 00:01:08.508
- No I got laser hair removal. (laughs)

00:01:08.508 --> 00:01:08.972
- Where?

00:01:08.982 --> 00:01:09.622
(laughter)

00:01:09.622 --> 00:01:12.524
- I don't wanna say! (laughs)

00:01:12.524 --> 00:01:16.380
- Just tell me when to stop
when I get to the right place.

00:01:16.380 --> 00:01:18.428
You got a Groupon for Quiznos?

00:01:18.428 --> 00:01:18.718
- Ha!

00:01:18.718 --> 00:01:21.062
- I feel like that's kind
of ridiculous, this is 2011.

00:01:21.062 --> 00:01:21.782
- (laughs)

00:01:21.782 --> 00:01:22.695
- I was still in college.

00:01:22.695 --> 00:01:24.343
I couldn't even drink back then,

00:01:24.343 --> 00:01:25.852
and you were Grouponing Quiznos.

00:01:25.852 --> 00:01:27.499
- Look what a good deal that is!

00:01:27.499 --> 00:01:30.311
- [Guy] You saved six dollars.
- [Girl] I saved six dollars!

00:01:30.311 --> 00:01:33.327
- For Quiznos that's a whole sandwich!

00:01:33.327 --> 00:01:34.859
- I was a broke college student then

00:01:34.859 --> 00:01:37.353
and I wouldn't even buy
six dollar Quiznos Groupon.

00:01:37.353 --> 00:01:38.304
This is ridiculous.

00:01:38.304 --> 00:01:39.721
- I think the point of Groupon is

00:01:39.721 --> 00:01:42.436
so you buy more things,
and then they'll expire,

00:01:42.436 --> 00:01:44.273
and then the place just
gets the money back

00:01:44.273 --> 00:01:45.341
from having to give you a free service.

00:01:45.341 --> 00:01:46.832
- Just walk in with your game face

00:01:46.832 --> 00:01:49.107
and be like "I'm getting
this couple's massage."

00:01:49.107 --> 00:01:51.639
- Sometimes I would buy one
and I wouldn't actually use it,

00:01:51.639 --> 00:01:54.123
and I'm like "What am I doing here?"

00:01:54.123 --> 00:01:55.655
- That's called wasteful spending,

00:01:55.655 --> 00:01:58.072
and it's something that
Republicans and Democrats

00:01:58.072 --> 00:02:00.307
agree we should cut back on.

00:02:00.307 --> 00:02:04.030
- Well, I agree too. That's
why I stopped using it.

00:02:05.476 --> 00:02:06.069
- Cool.

00:02:06.069 --> 00:02:08.062
(upbeat music)
