1
00:00:00,001 --> 00:00:18,360
I'm Scott, I'm Russell, and I'm Leo. This is Spitball. Welcome to Spitball, the Pitchin'

2
00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:23,240
Kitchen, where three entrepreneurial enthusiasts empty their head of startup and tech product

3
00:00:23,240 --> 00:00:26,840
ideas that we have stuck up in there so you can all have them for free. Anything that

4
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:32,560
we say is yours to keep. And this week, Scott, I believe you have brought our guest. Did

5
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:38,080
I would like to welcome Spencer. Spencer was my freshman year roommate in school about

6
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:45,880
12 years ago now. We really didn't know that. Yeah. Met him very first person I met on campus.

7
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:50,800
Spencer is a financial expert and CPA, and I'm very excited to have him go over our the

8
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:55,360
P&L statements of all the ideas we're going to have tonight. Welcome, Spencer. Welcome.

9
00:00:55,360 --> 00:01:00,160
Thanks. Yeah. Thanks for having me. Don't want to correct Scott or throw him under the

10
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:13,040
bus already, but I am not a CPA. I am not your lawyer. You're an underground, uncertified.

11
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:17,440
I'm an accountant in the underground society. He's been doing my taxes for 10 years. This

12
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:21,640
is the first I've heard of this. You should listen to that one episode where Scott tried

13
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:27,400
to do tax fraud and I was all about it. You'd be a perfect CPA for that, Spencer. I could

14
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:32,120
plead not fraud. I could just plead ignorance. Tax exaggeration. Spencer, is it okay that

15
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:37,240
your bosses might hear that you're not a CPA? Is this news? No, it's just news to Scott,

16
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:42,240
I think. I'm glad he thinks so highly of me. That's so great. Well, welcome. This could

17
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:45,760
be a good time. Yeah, thanks. Today we're going to be playing Ledger or Legend, and

18
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:49,160
the game is going to be simple. I'm going to give you the name of a currency and you

19
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:53,280
have to tell me if it's either a cryptocurrency or something from a video game.

20
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:54,280
Nice.

21
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:59,560
Easy enough, right? And as always, we start with our guest, Spencer. Tell me about Raven

22
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:06,360
Coin. All one word. R-A-V-E-N-C-O-I-N. Is that a cryptocurrency scam? I mean, excuse

23
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:10,080
me, just cryptocurrency? Or is that something from a video game series?

24
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:12,560
I'm going to go video game.

25
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:16,400
That's of course a fork of Bitcoin. All right, Scott, you're up.

26
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:17,400
Really?

27
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:18,400
I know, right?

28
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:19,400
Raven Coin.

29
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:25,200
There are, I think my father-in-law looked it up, there's 2,300 different known cryptocurrencies

30
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:28,120
or something. So it's a wild west out there, guys.

31
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:31,960
Oh my God. What year is it? I wonder what the tech is behind that. Like, oh, for every

32
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:37,400
raven you catch, it gets you a coin. Anyways.

33
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:40,840
Nothing exists in the real world with these people. Don't be silly.

34
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:41,840
That's right.

35
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:46,040
Scott, GIL, G-I-L, cryptocurrency or video game currency?

36
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:49,800
I feel like that's got to be video game. Some kind of fallout.

37
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,680
Yes, it's from Final Fantasy. Very good. It's Final Fantasy.

38
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:53,680
Nice.

39
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:59,640
Well done. Russell, Bancor. B-A-N-C-O-R.

40
00:02:59,640 --> 00:03:02,560
Doesn't have coin in it, so I'm saying video game.

41
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:08,840
It is of course a DeFi blockchain. It's part of that whole scene. No, that means it's one

42
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:15,840
Scott Zilch elsewhere. Second time through. Spencer, ECHOS, spelled how it sounds. E-C-H-S-E-N-C-O-I-N.

43
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,400
I'm going to go video game again.

44
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:23,160
That's going to cost you 12 echoes. It is a video game. Sunless Sea. It's a survival

45
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:25,760
exploration RPG from the last couple of years.

46
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:28,240
Scott Adams, ATOMS.

47
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:31,080
Is that Bioshock?

48
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:35,520
Oh, Fallout 76. Very good.

49
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:36,520
That's not Bioshock.

50
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:43,360
That's the online fallout. You got it right. It was a video game. Russell, Sovereigns.

51
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:47,360
Definitely a crypto.

52
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:54,400
Sounds like it, right? That's from Dragon Age. It's of course the gold coins that you

53
00:03:54,400 --> 00:04:01,440
get from Dragon Age. Last time through. Spencer, Kyber. K-Y-B-E-R.

54
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:04,440
I was going to stay the same. I'll do video game again.

55
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:09,520
It's a DeFi blockchain. NFTs, tokens, all that stuff. Good try.

56
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:11,480
Is that a Star Wars term?

57
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:12,480
Kyber?

58
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:15,480
That one caught my eye in the list.

59
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:20,880
Kyber crystal is a currency, but Kyber... Wait, never mind. I don't know.

60
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:23,880
Scott, last one. Linden, L-I-N-D-E-N.

61
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:28,400
Oh, the B. Johnson coin. I know that one. No, I have no idea. I'm going to say it's

62
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:29,400
crypto.

63
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:33,160
It's from Second Life. It's what you use to buy virtual property in Second Life. Remember

64
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:34,160
that whole wave?

65
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:35,160
Wait, yeah. Oh, yeah.

66
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:40,640
Yeah. Linden dollars. That was going to be like the whole, "You are now your avatar,

67
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:44,640
world sim era, man." Different times. Now we have metaversals.

68
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:46,640
Now I can not afford a house in two different places.

69
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:54,640
Do you have enough Lindens? Russell, last one. Mirian, M-I-R-I-A-N.

70
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:57,640
I think that's a grandma. Oh, crypto.

71
00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:03,640
That's of course from Middle Earth, Shadow of War. Very good, everybody.

72
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:04,640
Miriam?

73
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:09,320
Miriam. I think it was two, two, and one. So Spencer, Scott, Ty, but I kind of lost

74
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:11,320
track there a little bit. Thanks for playing.

75
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:12,320
Those hobbit cryptocurrencies.

76
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:16,240
Well, of course, Scott, you were the winner this week. Congratulations, which means you

77
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:19,320
get to go first. What's your pitch for us this week? What's something you wish existed,

78
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:20,640
but you don't have time to build?

79
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:24,720
I've been thinking about this one on and off for 10 years, and I've always wanted

80
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:30,720
it to be real, but I think that it isn't for a reason, or it's just not a viable business

81
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:36,120
for a reason, but I still really want to try this and prove it one way or another. So many

82
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:42,080
years ago, Russell and I did a startup and we had to get a laser engraver for this startup.

83
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:48,040
And when we, it's just a 40 watt, like cheap laser from eBay. And when we first set up

84
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:52,960
this laser, we were so excited and we were looking around to find something to engrave.

85
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:59,200
And all we had next to us was some leftover Taco Bell. So we threw an old soft taco inside

86
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:05,760
this laser and it just, it came out perfect. It was like, we etched on pictures and words

87
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:10,760
onto this old Taco Bell and it's still like perfectly edible. It's just lasered on and

88
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:17,720
heated in whatever pattern you did. And so I've been thinking, can local restaurants

89
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:24,440
use like a food grade laser engraver? Like we live right next to a great taco place that's

90
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:28,160
not Taco Bell. And I just imagine them like.

91
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:29,160
- Engraving it. Yeah.

92
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:34,280
- Exactly. You could put your logo, you could put QR codes, you could put whatever you want

93
00:06:34,280 --> 00:06:41,560
on this. Like, I feel like there's a lot of possibilities with laser engraving food that

94
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:44,000
just hasn't been done yet.

95
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:47,760
- It's like the custom waffle maker in the hotel lobby with their branding on it, but

96
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:48,760
way better.

97
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:53,380
- Exactly. Except this, you don't need any tooling or anything. You just need this piece

98
00:06:53,380 --> 00:06:58,080
of equipment and you could put, I could put a latte in there and just do the foam art

99
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:02,920
on top. It doesn't, and that's the whole pitch. I'm going to make a food grade laser engraver

100
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:05,160
and I'm going to mass market it to restaurants.

101
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:10,600
- Wow. I just got to say we've gone full unhinged on this show. It's amazing.

102
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:13,040
- It's so good.

103
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:20,420
- But I love it. It's so simple, but so bare. It's accessible.

104
00:07:20,420 --> 00:07:25,040
- So here's the reason that kind of this came back to me lately. I went to a hockey game

105
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:31,560
two nights ago and they had, it was like $2 beer and hot dog nights. And hockey now, if

106
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:36,240
you haven't been to a game recently, every single thing is sponsored by someone to the

107
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:40,640
point that it's really gross and dystopian. They don't have sudden death anymore at the

108
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:44,600
end of the match. They have sudden life brought to you by your local hospital.

109
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:45,600
- Oh my.

110
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:46,600
- Oh boy.

111
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:50,360
- It's crazy. And so I'm like, well, we might as well jump on this bandwagon. And

112
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:56,120
instead for these $2 hot dogs, let's have $2 hot dogs brought to you by, I don't know,

113
00:07:56,120 --> 00:08:01,560
Huntington bank or some other horrible thing. And you just laser engrave. It only takes

114
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:07,000
like one to two seconds to laser into this guy. Huntington bank and a QR code and a website

115
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:13,720
onto each freaking hot dog. I just feel like there's random possibilities for this and

116
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:15,000
it would be very easy to create.

117
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:19,360
- I was just thinking they could name it like a, you know, like hot dog, like a Frank, just

118
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:21,160
Huntington Franks or something.

119
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:26,440
- I think this $2 beer is trying to get me into join the Navy.

120
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:27,440
- Scan here.

121
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:29,320
- Enlist today.

122
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:35,040
- I think there's a shocking number of applications Scott for this. Like imagine every kid's meal

123
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:41,080
chicken nugget had a different smiley face on it. Kids would go ape, make it a contest.

124
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:43,680
- This one's a squirtle. This one's a Charmander.

125
00:08:43,680 --> 00:08:48,640
- Dude, rotate it out every, you know, every day or every month. And you got to like happy

126
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:54,520
meal is much happier now. We got a laser engraver on our chicken nuggets.

127
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:57,600
- Sponsored food is so awful.

128
00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:01,680
- Chicken nuggets, the monopoly thing. You could have, if you get a certain chicken nugget

129
00:09:01,680 --> 00:09:04,680
that has a certain face on it, you win a prize.

130
00:09:04,680 --> 00:09:05,680
- So dystopian.

131
00:09:05,680 --> 00:09:07,560
- It's very dystopian.

132
00:09:07,560 --> 00:09:13,200
- I don't know, man. Like fricking, oh, hot dogs free at a baseball game. I just have

133
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:18,360
to eat the logo. Like, hell yeah, sign me up, dude.

134
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:22,200
- Now I'm also thinking too, like, I guess it's a little deceiving, but I'm thinking

135
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:26,840
like, you know, you have like charbroiled burgers or like chicken on the grill. You

136
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:30,920
just, what if you just laser in like the grill or char.

137
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:32,920
- You etch it in.

138
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:37,520
- Oh, for like all the impossible burgers or whatever. I guess you could still get the

139
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:39,920
grill marks on those because you're still cooking it.

140
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:45,280
- Whoa. I wonder if you could make a burger, a fake burger look like a more, like a burger

141
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:52,320
by laser engraving it ahead of time. I don't know. I'm no expert, but hopefully your listeners

142
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:53,920
are.

143
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:58,920
- Lasers are crazy now. You can just set like a PWM to the actual output of it so that it

144
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:03,240
can, it fluctuates the wave just a little bit so you can get different colors and variations

145
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:08,320
if you do it on metal. I have no idea. Like I've seen, I've seen like a piece of metal

146
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:12,600
that has just an entire array of colors just from one laser because they're changing the

147
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:15,160
frequency that the laser is coming out.

148
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:18,080
I have no idea if that'll work on food or not, but.

149
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:20,400
- I'm just going to go with the air.

150
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:25,280
- Yeah, definitely. Guys, would you eat sponsored food? Like if it was free at an event and

151
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:29,120
they just had their logo in every Dorito, like.

152
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:33,800
- We all know in our heart, the food's not going to be free, but for half off or whatever.

153
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:34,800
Yeah, probably.

154
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:38,600
- Oh man. Do you want your food? Do you want your food half off with ads?

155
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:40,160
- Half off with ads, please.

156
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:42,240
- Like Netflix's tears. Yeah.

157
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:43,240
- That's so funny.

158
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:44,240
- We just solved the world hunger, guys.

159
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:49,480
- All right. Cappuccino art would be cool. Like if you could somehow like engrave like

160
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:54,960
cool art or I feel like bubble tea culture for some reason would find this really cool.

161
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:58,000
I don't know how you would engrave it on bubble tea, but like they have all this.

162
00:10:58,000 --> 00:10:59,000
- I do bubble tea.

163
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:04,840
- With a lot of foam, with the foam, the cold foam one. I feel like that would be, that'd

164
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:10,320
be cool though. Okay. Here's another one. You could do raffles. Okay. Every hot dog

165
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:17,680
has a different number on it. You can't eat the hot dog until the raffle. That's just

166
00:11:17,680 --> 00:11:19,520
a mean.

167
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:21,240
- This is the modern golden ticket.

168
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:26,400
- You can't eat it until you figure out if you won. I swear I had number 67.

169
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:31,920
- Yeah. If you find the Dorito with the star on it, you get to go to the Mario world or

170
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:32,920
something, right?

171
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:33,920
- There it is.

172
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:38,840
- You can make it more high end too. Like some three, four star restaurant that's trying

173
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:44,200
to make this cool artistic culinary experience. And they laser engrave, I don't know, a story

174
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:47,000
about the food into the food about where it came from or something.

175
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:51,560
- The name of the cow that you slaughtered. Right on it. This was Bessie.

176
00:11:51,560 --> 00:11:55,760
- Can print the whole company's mission statement on it. Like a tortilla maybe, like Chipotle

177
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:58,280
burritos, just a tortilla.

178
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:03,920
- Okay. Okay. Flip it around. What if you elevated food with this, right? So now you're

179
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:11,240
hot. I'm only thinking of hot dogs for some reason. Have like cool art design. So you

180
00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:17,040
go to the art museum and now they can sell hot dogs because it's super artistic now.

181
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:19,760
- They've got a Picasso in this.

182
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:25,040
- I'm thinking too now, maybe like seasonal, like Christmas themed. You could make like

183
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:26,920
candy cane stripes on the hot dog.

184
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:30,920
- Ooh, there you go. Of course. Hanukkah menorah.

185
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:37,160
- Dude. Yes. Like those like one trick, like corn dog stands or something. You just like

186
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:42,800
throw some designs on it. And now you're like, or like ice cream cones, you know, different

187
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:48,240
themes. Pick your design. It just seems like one of those gimmicky things that then all

188
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:53,880
of a sudden every kid in town is like, I want a rainbow on mine. It's like face painting,

189
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:54,880
you know?

190
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:57,760
- We're already getting to the point where fast food ordering happens via app. So you

191
00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:02,760
could even have like, I want to use this design of the day. I want to upload my own design

192
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:04,240
in the McDonald's laser.

193
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:05,600
- Oh, that'd be cool.

194
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:08,800
- Adds that to the process and does it on the way out the door. You could pay a dollar

195
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:14,560
extra to put your, I don't know, company's logo on it when you cater for lunch.

196
00:13:14,560 --> 00:13:16,120
- Ooh, there you go.

197
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:17,120
- Then it's a write off.

198
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:20,040
- It's kind of hard to do branding because you eat the brand right after. It's not like

199
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:21,960
a sticker or something that hangs around.

200
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:26,360
- It's the write off, right, Spencer? You can write it off if your logo's on it. Where's

201
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:27,360
our CPA?

202
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:35,400
- I was going to say, unless there's a way you can find a way to make a portion of it

203
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:40,040
non-digestible so you see it on the other end.

204
00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:46,040
- I'm not sure about the carcinogenic properties of eating a lasered bun. Maybe you just avoid

205
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:47,720
eating that part.

206
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:51,000
- Oh, it's just extra cooked. It's fine.

207
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:54,440
- Well, well, well done at a few thousand degrees.

208
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:59,680
- Yeah, lasering food is a dangerous, right? It's not like, what's the laser made out of?

209
00:13:59,680 --> 00:14:05,200
Light? Oh, then it's totally fine. I mean, I just sit in the sun for like, what, two

210
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:06,200
minutes? Same dip.

211
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:07,200
- Same thing.

212
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:08,200
- Exactly the same thing.

213
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:15,320
- So rather than it being fast food related, I bet you could use this to design, like everybody's

214
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:19,840
buying gifts for people. You got to be able to design food.

215
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:20,840
- Oh, chocolates.

216
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:27,200
- Like chocolates. Yes. Custom chocolates for Christmas. You get the same blank bar

217
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:31,800
and everybody comes in to get the design. You can get like, oh dude, the wooden shoes.

218
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:35,880
I buy these all the time now. You can buy like these. We live in a town with wooden

219
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:42,360
shoes and you can add your own engraving on the side. Dude, four bucks a pop, put people's

220
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:48,040
names on it. People love that. You just make a custom candy shop. Like it's just wall to

221
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:49,040
wall.

222
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:54,880
- Oh yeah. I just envisioned a chocolate gift box, but every chocolate type is etched into

223
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:59,000
the top of it. So there's no more guessing. That's a whole nother product on its own.

224
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:00,000
- Yes.

225
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:01,680
- Will you marry me?

226
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:04,200
- Oh, it's spelled out in chocolates.

227
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:08,400
- I was just going to say this one's caramel. This one's raspberry. This one's dark. But

228
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:09,400
I like that too.

229
00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:14,200
- Oh my gosh. Could you imagine solving the problem where you're like looking at the Stover's,

230
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:17,880
like the little recipe guide of what's in this piece of chocolate.

231
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:20,020
- It's laser, no more roulette.

232
00:15:20,020 --> 00:15:23,560
- If they can write the words Kit Kat into a chocolate, I'm sure they could have done

233
00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:26,880
that. They're just not fancy enough.

234
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:33,880
- I just love the romantic couple on the beach eating their Taco Bell and the last taco has

235
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:39,480
will you marry me burned into the side. What a surprise. Oh honey, you ordered custom with

236
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:44,360
the app. That's why you wanted to order it tonight. Wow. I do.

237
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:49,160
- Oh, I get to design. I get to actually control the laser and draw something on my food before

238
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:50,320
I eat it or something.

239
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:54,920
- Hand the phone to your kid in the backseat to doodle on his McNugget before he gets it.

240
00:15:54,920 --> 00:16:01,000
- Oh my gosh. You throw this at a Chuck E. Cheese band. Everybody's like pizza. Yeah.

241
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:06,280
Here's your Etch A Sketch. You draw whatever you want. Throw your pizza on it. It's like

242
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:11,560
30 seconds and all of a sudden, mom, look at my pizza. Dude, it's so hard to get kids

243
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:15,940
to eat like this. This is going to make them eat.

244
00:16:15,940 --> 00:16:19,480
- Laser your broccoli before you check out at the grocery store.

245
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:20,840
- Honestly.

246
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:23,440
- Put their favorite Paw Patrol on it.

247
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:29,600
- Leo, that would make them eat though, right? Your kids would eat.

248
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:35,200
- If every carrot had a different Paw Patrol person on it. I feel like there has to be

249
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:36,640
a reason this hasn't been done before.

250
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:38,000
- A burned carrot probably doesn't taste good.

251
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:39,800
- I don't know what it is. Everything.

252
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:42,600
- It could be the charring and singeing of the food.

253
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:47,200
- Well, on my one data point of Taco Bell, we still ate it.

254
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:48,200
- You ate it?

255
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:49,200
- Of course.

256
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:51,880
- How was it? You ate old leftover Taco Bell that you laced?

257
00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:53,800
- Okay. We bought it that day, but-

258
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:54,800
- Oh, okay. All right.

259
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:55,800
- Listen.

260
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:56,800
- And how was it?

261
00:16:56,800 --> 00:17:00,400
- Don't judge our choices. There are dark times. Those were dark times.

262
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:01,400
- Startup life, baby.

263
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:02,400
- Waste not.

264
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:07,800
- Was that the first half of the Taco Bell or the second half? Because you have to space

265
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:08,800
it out throughout the day.

266
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:11,400
- Yeah. Was that breakfast Taco Bell, lunch Taco Bell? What do we have?

267
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:19,480
- Want a haircut this month or do you want Taco Bell? It's your choice.

268
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:21,880
- All right, Leo, what have you brought for us this week?

269
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:29,280
- All right. So we have a small gaming friends group here that the five of us have played

270
00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:34,240
Dungeons and Dragons and video games and stuff together for many years. And Scott, you actually

271
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:40,520
requested that I bring this idea to the podcast. So here we go. We have our DM, our main friend

272
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:46,280
who runs this group is in another state and three of us are in the town that we're in

273
00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:50,720
right now. One of them is up in a neighboring town, about a half hour drive from us. So

274
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:56,840
that's three different places. I have thought for a long time about the soul SOL cinema.

275
00:17:56,840 --> 00:18:03,080
In 2009, this guy bought a camper trailer and he like hollowed it out. It might've even

276
00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:07,920
been like in a junkyard or something. Hollowed it out, made it beautiful and turned it into

277
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:11,960
an eight person movie theater. And he goes around from like music festival to music festival

278
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:16,360
with this trailer and it's gorgeous looking and it's a little movie theater that's got

279
00:18:16,360 --> 00:18:21,000
a projector in it and two rows of seating and the entire thing is solar powered. So

280
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:26,440
like you can watch documentaries and stuff. Yeah. He shows like art films and stuff on

281
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:31,560
it. I think it's so neat. And it's been kind of imprinted on me. It's like, this is a really

282
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:36,160
cool thing. I would love to do something that is a portable, I don't know, video game station

283
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:40,160
or hangout station or whatever. And then we have this problem now. Now I'm worried a little

284
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:45,320
bit about this pitch getting a little bit too broey and like gamery, right? RGB lights

285
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:49,360
everywhere. So I do want to say like the appeal of board game night, I think is universal

286
00:18:49,360 --> 00:18:55,640
enough to have this discussion. If you could create a gaming centric camper van, it doesn't

287
00:18:55,640 --> 00:19:00,320
have to have bedroom. It doesn't have to have, you know, it could have a small kitchenette,

288
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:05,480
I guess, but maybe even not a bathroom. And you could go and like a tow the living room

289
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:11,600
hangout zone to the, I don't know, the nearest place between y'all that has a restaurant

290
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:16,240
parking lot or, you know, somewhere where you could all hang out and play your, your

291
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:20,000
board game or sit around the poker table or whatever. What would that look like? So we're

292
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:26,240
here to design together a little bit, what the, the portable hangout gaming zone would

293
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:31,960
be. It'd be cool to have, you know, your land party on wheels, perhaps it'd be cool to have

294
00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:37,560
your, you know, tabletop role playing games or whatever. I just, I've thought a lot about

295
00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:42,040
this. How do we make the in person thing a little bit more accessible? Are there other

296
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:45,760
friends group out there that would benefit from something like this? I don't know. Huh?

297
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:53,720
Yeah, this makes me think, um, reminds me of, uh, stores on different episode where

298
00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:59,200
if I could have extra space in my house, like, I guess in a way, Leo, you, I'm going to add

299
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:05,760
to it and say, like, what if you by all means, this trailer, it's like part of your house.

300
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:13,400
And like, sometimes it's hatchable. Yeah. Well, like, like, I don't have, maybe this

301
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:20,040
is just me. Like, I have this desk and this is my desk. I don't have like a gaming or

302
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:25,880
like my own man cave. Right, right. The whole concept of the she shed and the man cave and

303
00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:29,400
stuff where you have like a small little thing on the outside of your property, a little,

304
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:34,200
you know, 100 square foot office or whatever. I want that, but like portable and social

305
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:41,120
dude, like a portable man cave is pretty good idea. Portable man cave that like, you know,

306
00:20:41,120 --> 00:20:44,680
you could add the eight chairs to make it a board game night. You could turn it into

307
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:50,480
like the land party if you want, whatever, whatever man cave you're into. Right. Like

308
00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:57,560
put star link on that sucker. Yeah. Oh gosh. I might just have to buy him somehow. You

309
00:20:57,560 --> 00:21:01,560
want to go buy a camper? I want to go buy an old motor home together. Let's do this.

310
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:07,760
I want it to be already like a blank wall. I just want a trailer with four white walls,

311
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:18,360
40 outlets and gigabyte internet speed. But like, I don't know. Cause I feel like man

312
00:21:18,360 --> 00:21:24,440
caves are like probably dying and why not make it portable and shared and like, Oh,

313
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:30,560
I'll bring my man cave. Let's bring our man caves together. All together. Our power is

314
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:37,800
combined. The man compound. Hey, I'm going to meet you at the rest area right here on

315
00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:42,920
mile marker 45. You go to the like McDonald's parking lot and you all get your snacks and

316
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:49,960
you bring them out parking lot. Sure. Guys. I mean, I'd love that. I would love to. I

317
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:53,200
think I would make use of it enough. And then you could, like you said, you could party

318
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:56,840
park it in your backyard and use it for your work from home office or whatever. Like make

319
00:21:56,840 --> 00:22:02,520
it a little practical too. So that it's not just for fun twice a year that I think is

320
00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:10,080
the selling point. It's, it's a extension of your home, but also portable. All your,

321
00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:16,520
all the stuff that like your kids, your wife, your anybody doesn't want to be in the house

322
00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:22,280
lives in your man cave and it comes with you wherever you go. I don't know. It's your super

323
00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:29,440
bowl party area or it's your like your weekly bachelorette viewing a hangout area and you

324
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:33,680
go and meet with the five friends who love to watch it together while it's on airing.

325
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:38,000
You know what I mean? Like you go and find the spot where you all are easiest to meet

326
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:43,080
up together, but it's in person. The multi. Yeah. I like the idea of keeping this not

327
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:48,400
man cave, but like the multipurpose. Yeah. The living room, living room, living room,

328
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:52,320
the mobile living room. Yes. Pictures of people who've renovated their basement and they have

329
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:56,800
the cool bar and they've got the, you know, gaming area with the bookshelves and stuff.

330
00:22:56,800 --> 00:23:02,960
I'm like, man, I, I wish I had a room for that and be people in the area to enjoy this

331
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:07,040
with. But if I could bring it to them, you know, it's pretty cool to be like, Hey Russell,

332
00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:11,200
could I, could I borrow your man cave for this weekend? I got some friends coming over.

333
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:17,200
Sure. Get your tail hitch. Yeah. Rooms to go. Rooms to go. Yeah. You've got like,

334
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:23,120
I don't know this weekend we're going to go up and go to a camping property up in the wilderness,

335
00:23:23,120 --> 00:23:26,480
but we're going to bring all of our game collection and all of our everything.

336
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:31,840
The best of both worlds have our campfire and then come in and play Starcraft until 2 AM. I don't

337
00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:35,680
know. I love your idea of keeping it modular that you can just kind of like for whatever

338
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:40,160
trip you're going on or whatever event you just pop in this table or fold out this one,

339
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:45,200
depending on if we're landing or D and D or watching the bachelorette with the advent of

340
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:50,080
Starlink really all he needs power. You can get enough car batteries and series to last year in

341
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:56,320
parallel to last year, a weekend, not with my gaming rig. So many RGB lights, man.

342
00:23:56,320 --> 00:24:01,360
I like the idea too. If you could like, you know, if there's different styles or like some,

343
00:24:01,360 --> 00:24:04,960
some sort of standard that like, I think Russell may have touched on this earlier,

344
00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:09,200
but like say you meet up with friends, maybe they also have their own, but you can kind of.

345
00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:10,240
Hook them together.

346
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:13,920
Put them together and make it like one giant man or have like this central.

347
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:14,960
The man cavern.

348
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:16,160
Conjoined area that you can.

349
00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:18,000
The ISS of man.

350
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:18,960
The man tunnels.

351
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:23,600
This is Transformers. This is Power Rangers Megazord, dude.

352
00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:28,080
Triceratops go.

353
00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:29,140
Dude.

354
00:24:29,140 --> 00:24:32,800
We've lost our last interested listener. There it went.

355
00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:33,540
Yeah.

356
00:24:33,540 --> 00:24:40,080
Okay, wait, let's bring it back. Let's bring it back. What if instead of you owning it,

357
00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:45,840
you rent these? So just like you haul, right? You just have, here's the board game truck.

358
00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:49,920
We got board games. Here's the land one. You pick it up and let you know.

359
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:51,280
Your movie theater one is great.

360
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:54,480
What if even comes with like a bartender or something?

361
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:55,040
Yeah.

362
00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:56,480
You can rent like a bartender.

363
00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:58,240
That'd be great.

364
00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:00,160
To come with it for a night or something.

365
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:04,880
You tow two or three of these up to look kind of like renting a camper, right? And you can

366
00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:08,800
bring them up to some campsite somewhere and stuff, but they're a little more focused on

367
00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:11,600
comforts of modern gaming.

368
00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:12,720
That's kind of cool.

369
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:16,480
So you don't have to put up with the gross outdoors and you can just be camping and play

370
00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:17,360
video games all day.

371
00:25:17,360 --> 00:25:22,320
I guess I'll open the window, but make sure the screen's shut.

372
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:27,920
Honestly, I want to start the company that renovates these and just like builds them.

373
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:30,640
I don't even want to go through the marketing or selling of it.

374
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:33,280
I just want to take an old camper and turn it into something cool.

375
00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:35,360
It's going to sound like a fun project over like a year or two.

376
00:25:35,360 --> 00:25:42,000
You could also tying in your idea earlier, aren't Twinkies known to like survive?

377
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:45,520
They would like survive like cockroaches, like just non-perishable.

378
00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:51,200
Could you just etch branding into a Twinkie and have it in the trailer?

379
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:53,920
Yes.

380
00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:56,000
The branding of the living room on wheels.

381
00:25:56,800 --> 00:25:57,920
Would you call it room to go?

382
00:25:57,920 --> 00:25:59,840
Yeah, something that's just like that.

383
00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:00,880
I like this.

384
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:03,680
We should combine all our ideas together at the end.

385
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:05,600
At the end of each episode.

386
00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:06,080
I like that.

387
00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:11,680
I initially was thinking like AirBRB or something like be right back, but that's not necessarily

388
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:11,680
true.

389
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:12,800
AirBRV.

390
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:14,800
But whoa, now that's good.

391
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:16,400
Buy that domain, shoot.

392
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:23,680
Every year, our friends group puts together like a gaming weekend for all the guys, the

393
00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:28,400
guys weekend, and we always find some Airbnb with, you know, 10, 20 beds or whatever.

394
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:32,800
But if we could break that up into four of these living room spaces and we haul them

395
00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:38,480
up to some plot of land and have campfires at night, but then also played our, you know,

396
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:39,520
board games and stuff.

397
00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:41,040
I think that'd be sick.

398
00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:41,200
Yeah.

399
00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:45,280
I mean, we end up like that would be really good if we have hot tubs in our Airbnb hanging

400
00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:46,160
out the hot tub.

401
00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:51,040
Anyway, the hot tub van just like, yeah, it's just like there's a little bit of outdoor

402
00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:53,520
activity, you know, it's just different.

403
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:53,840
Yeah.

404
00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:55,600
Right next to a lake.

405
00:26:55,600 --> 00:27:00,160
Or maybe you can just find some hot springs and then just back up everyone back up of

406
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:03,360
their van or trailer to center around that.

407
00:27:03,360 --> 00:27:06,800
And then you just have that in the center and then you just hop back in and play some

408
00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:07,840
games or something when you are.

409
00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:11,920
I do realize we're like 98% of the way to describing just camping.

410
00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:15,520
And I want to make this a little more specific and focused.

411
00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:16,080
You know what I mean?

412
00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:20,320
Imagine if you could like bring a house with you to the wilderness.

413
00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:24,800
Like, yeah, I know, but like I want something that's for my specific use cases.

414
00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:26,080
I don't even need to sleep in the thing.

415
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:28,240
You know, it could have a bathroom, I guess.

416
00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:32,080
But yeah, I was picturing something that's literally just like hangout zone and then

417
00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:33,520
you park in a parking lot.

418
00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:34,800
But yeah, we could branch it out.

419
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:38,720
I'm currently Googling mobile hot tubs, which do exist.

420
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:42,720
It's water is heavy as we've established on this show.

421
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:43,600
I don't know straight up.

422
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:48,240
Just have a trailer behind your car that is just a hot tub and like a little wood stove

423
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:48,880
to burn.

424
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:52,000
Could you get like a Cybertruck or a Rivian and just fill the truck bed?

425
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:52,640
Totally right.

426
00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:54,320
Oh, that's a good idea.

427
00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:55,200
Put a tarp in it.

428
00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:59,760
Plug the heater and the electric pump right into the outlets in the back.

429
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:06,400
So Leo, do you have any visions for maybe like different sizes too, but like how many

430
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:10,720
people you would be able to fit into or would want to be able to fit into one?

431
00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:11,840
That's a great question.

432
00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:16,320
If you have like just like land stations, you could pack them in pretty tight like sardines.

433
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:21,040
But if you want to do the poker table setup, it sort of depends on your layout, I think,

434
00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:21,360
right?

435
00:28:21,360 --> 00:28:24,560
You want to have enough space to get a couple people on each side of the table.

436
00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:27,360
So six or eight on a Winnebago, I guess.

437
00:28:27,360 --> 00:28:28,800
Could you even make some like-

438
00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:30,160
If you have a little bit of a bar station.

439
00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:37,040
I was going to say even make, utilize like rooftop space, like add some additional seating

440
00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:38,880
or maybe that's where you put the bar or something.

441
00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:42,240
Head upstairs to the bar.

442
00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:42,800
That's fun.

443
00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:47,280
It's like those people who take like the pontoon boats and they have the multi-level

444
00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:49,360
with water slides and stuff coming off of them.

445
00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:51,040
Yeah, only on wheels.

446
00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:56,160
But yeah, I think like having a killer movie theater, not just like the one that's in your

447
00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:59,920
basement and like, "Oh, I could just go to my movie theater.

448
00:28:59,920 --> 00:29:04,320
No, I want to find a spot there is no movie theater for, play the stuff I want to play,

449
00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:06,880
create the movie theater experience and bring it on the go."

450
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:07,680
That's-

451
00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:11,120
The perfect Mario Kart on the go situation.

452
00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:11,920
Oh, yes.

453
00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:16,720
Or like you hook up two of these suckers together and you've got your system link on Halo,

454
00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:19,040
red trailer versus blue trailer or whatever.

455
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:20,640
Oh, gosh, that'd be amazing.

456
00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:23,440
That's really cool.

457
00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:24,320
It'd be fun.

458
00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:30,640
If you ever want to check this out, thesolcinema.org, I think, or just Google the soul cinema.

459
00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:34,000
It was made in 2009, but they still tour like all over England today.

460
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:35,600
And it's like cutely designed and stuff.

461
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:39,600
You'd see the appeal if you just check that out, listener, like pull over on your car,

462
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:40,720
take a look at this website real quick.

463
00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:41,280
It's really neat.

464
00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:44,160
You can see this isn't just like a Winnebago with a sign on it.

465
00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:50,400
Yeah, I guess I'm wondering too, if you want to bring a board game experience to a place

466
00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:55,840
that you wouldn't be able to normally, if you would go to a bar, not a bar and just

467
00:29:55,840 --> 00:30:01,200
park outside the parking lot, but there's something, I don't know, like a freaking Chick-fil-A

468
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:02,560
or, no, I don't know.

469
00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:06,720
Not a bar, Chick-fil-A.

470
00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:07,920
The duality of man.

471
00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:10,560
Chick-fil-A or bars.

472
00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:11,920
[laughter]

473
00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:13,200
That's kind of what I was imagining.

474
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:17,600
Like you go and you find the Popeyes or Wendy's or whatever.

475
00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:20,720
And a lot of these places don't care if you sit in the back.

476
00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:25,120
They've got room around back to just park a trailer and you walk in and get your meal.

477
00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:26,960
Dude, and you know what?

478
00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:29,360
I don't know if they'll let you walk out with a bar drink, though.

479
00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:29,920
You see.

480
00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:31,200
I'm just going to my car.

481
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:34,800
[laughter]

482
00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:36,400
Officer, I swear, it's a trailer.

483
00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:37,200
It's not even running.

484
00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:38,400
Okay.

485
00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:42,720
The thing is, this is so acceptable on boats and on the water.

486
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:49,840
You can bring these big boats with giant seatings and basically, why can't you do this

487
00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:50,480
on the road?

488
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:51,920
Why can't you have a road boat?

489
00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:53,760
You know, it's kind of what you're describing.

490
00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:54,480
A roadhouse.

491
00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:58,080
Get me a pontoon with wheels, baby, and let's go.

492
00:30:58,080 --> 00:30:58,880
Let's cruise.

493
00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:01,360
[laughter]

494
00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:02,480
Was I speeding, officer?

495
00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:03,040
I'm sorry.

496
00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:05,840
I was just kicking ass in Halo over here.

497
00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:07,120
[laughter]

498
00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:11,680
I was just envisioning to go into-- You guys mentioned something about just doing something

499
00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:15,840
or playing a game where you normally wouldn't play, like go to play Risk at Gettysburg

500
00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:16,320
or something.

501
00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:18,320
[laughter]

502
00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:20,000
Like themed tours.

503
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:20,800
That's fun.

504
00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:23,280
Risk at Gettysburg.

505
00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:24,880
[laughter]

506
00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:26,240
I'd buy that group on.

507
00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:29,120
That's-- Oh, dude, cooking classes would be perfect for this.

508
00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:30,080
Oh, yeah.

509
00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:32,720
Like the-- Oh, classes.

510
00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:34,880
This is perfect for the classes.

511
00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:38,080
Pull into this town, we'll teach you how to make pasta, and I'll be gone by the end

512
00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:38,480
of the weekend.

513
00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:38,800
Yes.

514
00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:40,880
You could teach people how to laser-hatch food.

515
00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:42,720
[laughter]

516
00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:42,960
Boom.

517
00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:46,080
Trying to tie it back to the--

518
00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:47,440
That's what you end the night with.

519
00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:51,920
You just go in, you're like, "Oh, I just made these pasta noodles," and all of a sudden,

520
00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:54,880
you throw it in the machine out the door with some noodles.

521
00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:55,920
Just subliminal messaging.

522
00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:57,840
They don't even realize that they're doing--

523
00:31:57,840 --> 00:32:00,080
Russell, this has to be your date idea one.

524
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:00,320
Oh.

525
00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:02,640
Like a mobile date thing.

526
00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:06,240
Comes in for a fun activity because-- I don't know, I just did the episode where you're

527
00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:08,000
trying to think of activities for--

528
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:08,800
Oh, yeah.

529
00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:12,720
And you can have knife-making truck that comes into town, and I don't know.

530
00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:14,320
I guess that's a food truck.

531
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:14,820
Yeah.

532
00:32:14,820 --> 00:32:18,240
It's like a food truck, but not for food?

533
00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:19,120
Yes, you're right.

534
00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:22,080
It's a food truck, but isn't-- Right.

535
00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:26,480
It's woodworking or whatever, like all these pop-out things that just--

536
00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:26,800
Yes.

537
00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:28,400
You could have--

538
00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:29,040
Paint and pour.

539
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:32,160
Bunch of 3D printers in a truck.

540
00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:36,240
Some guy went out to Burning Man, and you're in the middle of the desert.

541
00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:40,240
Everyone goes out there and just barters if you run out of food or water or whatnot.

542
00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:45,200
Some guy just brought a big RV full of 3D printers, and he called--

543
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:48,800
It was like the fix-it guy or something, and he just like, "What if something broke?

544
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:49,600
I'll figure it out."

545
00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:53,600
And so people were bringing them like, "Oh, my God, I'm missing this one part in my RV,"

546
00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:55,520
or "This plastic piece has never worked."

547
00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:59,360
And he would just sit there with CAD, redesign it real quick, and print it for him on the

548
00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:01,200
go with a bunch of Bamboo X1s.

549
00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:01,680
Wow.

550
00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:02,560
It was pretty cool.

551
00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:06,080
You had the giant pasta machine in there, a bunch of tables.

552
00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:09,120
Yeah, who's got the specialized equipment for that?

553
00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:09,680
That's great.

554
00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:12,480
Yeah, I have to go out to literally, speaking of--

555
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:16,960
I'm throwing past episodes out here, but speaking of my other freaking dating episode,

556
00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:20,720
I have to go out to Grand Rapids for a freaking cooking class right now.

557
00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:23,200
Nah, they come to us.

558
00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:28,640
Reverse food truck is a whole sub-idea that should be fleshed out.

559
00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:29,120
Yeah.

560
00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:32,320
Where the customers are the ones in the truck making the food.

561
00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:33,300
Okay.

562
00:33:33,300 --> 00:33:35,040
That's great.

563
00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:37,520
I actually have an idea that I'll do that one.

564
00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:39,120
Maybe I could do that now.

565
00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:39,840
I could do--

566
00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:41,600
Are you just going to pitch a new one right now?

567
00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:42,160
That's amazing.

568
00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:43,680
Dude, go for it.

569
00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:44,720
Russell, what is your idea?

570
00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:45,280
Please hit us.

571
00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:53,440
Okay, so here's what I've been thinking, actually, for a while.

572
00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:58,160
I never thought I'd pitch this on Spitball, but now that we're all unhinged on this shit,

573
00:33:58,160 --> 00:33:58,720
I'll just--

574
00:33:58,720 --> 00:33:59,220
Oh, sorry.

575
00:33:59,220 --> 00:34:00,960
Do it.

576
00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:02,720
The unhinged episode.

577
00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:06,640
So BYOM is bring your own meat.

578
00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:12,160
It was a party I started throwing in high school, and then we started doing it in college a little

579
00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:18,320
bit, but basically, you'd bring your own meats, and we'd have a hot grill, and you would have

580
00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:23,840
all your different seasonings and stuff, and you would basically bring meat, you throw it on the

581
00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:24,400
hot grill.

582
00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:25,120
That's it.

583
00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:25,600
Simple.

584
00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:26,000
Love it.

585
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:27,200
Simple restaurant idea.

586
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:32,640
You just roll up in your trailer, and all you are is selling incredible cuts of meats.

587
00:34:32,640 --> 00:34:35,360
You sell your spice blends out on the table.

588
00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:39,840
You also advertise, and now you don't have to do any of the cooking.

589
00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:41,920
You don't have to worry about servers.

590
00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:47,120
You just roll up in your grill, or this is like the restaurant.

591
00:34:47,120 --> 00:34:49,760
It's like American Korean barbecue.

592
00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:52,000
You guys ever had Korean barbecue where there's a grill on the table?

593
00:34:52,560 --> 00:35:00,320
It's the Americanized version where you do steaks and burgers and all that other stuff.

594
00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:01,680
It's an ice cream truck.

595
00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:06,880
You can buy an ice cream truck and stock it full of nice cuts, and you sell, but you also

596
00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:08,320
have a grill next to it that you set up.

597
00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:08,800
That's it.

598
00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:12,960
It's a giant refrigerator with a grill that you roll up in.

599
00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:14,400
That's fun.

600
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:19,280
You could go around from different city park to city park, get people stocked up.

601
00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:19,920
Yes.

602
00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:23,920
Wait, wait, sorry, do the customers grill it themselves, or is there a chef in there

603
00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:24,720
who grills it?

604
00:35:24,720 --> 00:35:26,400
Customers grill it themselves.

605
00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:31,920
Oh, so you're just selling them a steak and handing them a grill.

606
00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:32,420
Yes.

607
00:35:32,420 --> 00:35:36,720
Honestly, that makes a lot more sense than someone grilling for them because it's such-

608
00:35:36,720 --> 00:35:39,680
It's kind of like BDs.

609
00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:43,360
Yeah, you just go up, you pick up your ingredients, you drop it off of the counter,

610
00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:45,040
and honestly, it's your fault.

611
00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:46,880
If you cook it, these are your ingredients.

612
00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:47,760
I just cooked them, right?

613
00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:50,480
It's kind of the reverse.

614
00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:55,760
You just create all the spice blends and sauces and all out there, and boom, it's grill.

615
00:35:55,760 --> 00:36:01,840
The grill is like, honestly, the right grills, most home grills are like, they cap at 600

616
00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:02,960
degrees or something.

617
00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:05,920
This would be like the wolf grills that are so hot.

618
00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:10,960
You can get a sous-vided steak that's already perfect for the people that don't know how

619
00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:11,360
to cook.

620
00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:14,640
You can really create an experience that's family-friendly.

621
00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:15,200
Beginner.

622
00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:16,480
Beginner to experience.

623
00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:22,240
You put a bunch of meat thermometers out there, pork chops, and all of a sudden, people are

624
00:36:22,240 --> 00:36:28,560
like loving the idea of grilling, and you just create this grill experience on the go.

625
00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:29,200
That's, ugh.

626
00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:30,260
Okay.

627
00:36:30,260 --> 00:36:34,000
That's my secret restaurant idea, which that's what I was going to-

628
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:39,440
This was my retirement, when I make millions, that's my go-to job.

629
00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:42,960
It's a very, yeah, that's a very dude-coded episode.

630
00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:45,440
That's fun, though.

631
00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:50,400
I like the idea of like, "Mom, Mom, it's the ice cream truck, but honey, honey, it's

632
00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:51,600
the grill truck.

633
00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:53,440
Look, the meat truck's here."

634
00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:55,040
The grill man, the grill man.

635
00:36:55,040 --> 00:36:57,280
Just blasting AC/DC down the street.

636
00:36:57,280 --> 00:37:00,720
Some dad rock.

637
00:37:00,720 --> 00:37:03,920
"He's got the 800 degree grill, honey, you don't understand."

638
00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:04,160
Oh, so-

639
00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:04,960
I don't get to use one of those.

640
00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:06,160
It would be Leonard Skinner, sorry.

641
00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:07,680
Leonard Skinner.

642
00:37:10,160 --> 00:37:15,120
Do you think that this is something that you could somehow surprise people with?

643
00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:18,880
Not often am I thinking, "Man, a steak would be great right now," right?

644
00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:22,400
But if you have it for hire, for corporate events or something, it could work.

645
00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:28,160
I'm more actually thinking this is like a restaurant where you roll up and you have

646
00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:34,800
a flat top grill, but I think the portable aspect is how restaurants get made.

647
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:35,760
So I think you're right.

648
00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:41,120
Like a corporate event, you do catering, like weddings, I don't know.

649
00:37:41,120 --> 00:37:45,600
The wedding is this giant grill.

650
00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:47,600
Set up at the farmer's market.

651
00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:48,320
Yes.

652
00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:50,320
I mean, steaks take really fast.

653
00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:51,440
They're really fast to grill.

654
00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:53,680
So you just buy a bunch of steaks.

655
00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:58,320
And let's say I prepare them all, right?

656
00:37:58,320 --> 00:37:59,760
And you sous vide them all ahead of time.

657
00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:03,600
It's just, honestly, this is like you get an amazing filet.

658
00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:04,400
I don't know.

659
00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:05,040
That's it.

660
00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:06,160
Just like killer.

661
00:38:06,160 --> 00:38:08,560
I like the idea of your sauces and splice blends and stuff.

662
00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:09,920
That could add a lot to it.

663
00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:10,400
Yeah.

664
00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:11,200
I need sides.

665
00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:14,720
I don't know how to even start with customizing something like that at home.

666
00:38:14,720 --> 00:38:19,360
I'm not going to get out the mortar and pestle and play around with my oregano blend or whatever,

667
00:38:19,360 --> 00:38:19,520
right?

668
00:38:19,520 --> 00:38:21,040
No.

669
00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:24,640
But you can have all the raw blends and you can like...

670
00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:24,880
Right.

671
00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:29,840
But like the stir crazy or Mongolian barbecues or whatever, where they have like the 12 different

672
00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:32,240
choices here and you're kind of going salad bar style.

673
00:38:32,240 --> 00:38:33,680
And yeah, that's fun.

674
00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:34,080
Yeah.

675
00:38:34,080 --> 00:38:37,120
Do you guys have you guys ever gone to like a Korean barbecue place?

676
00:38:37,120 --> 00:38:37,840
You have?

677
00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:38,400
OK.

678
00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:39,040
Hot pot.

679
00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:39,840
Oh, they haven't.

680
00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:40,240
OK.

681
00:38:40,240 --> 00:38:41,360
So these two haven't done it yet.

682
00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:45,200
You kind of imagine going to like a salad bar where you're going down the line and you're

683
00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:46,160
picking your ingredients and stuff.

684
00:38:46,160 --> 00:38:50,240
But at the end, you hand it to a dude and he cooks it for you and you're assembling stuff

685
00:38:50,240 --> 00:38:53,360
for a stir fry or like other type.

686
00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:53,920
Oh, no.

687
00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:56,000
I've done that's not Korean barbecue.

688
00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:56,320
No.

689
00:38:56,320 --> 00:38:56,880
What are you?

690
00:38:56,880 --> 00:39:02,720
Korean barbecue has literally is a table and in the center of the table is a grill,

691
00:39:02,720 --> 00:39:04,560
a small little grill.

692
00:39:04,560 --> 00:39:07,120
And you have like a fondue.

693
00:39:07,120 --> 00:39:07,600
Kind of.

694
00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:08,640
Yeah, kind of like that.

695
00:39:08,640 --> 00:39:12,480
But it's you have really thin pieces of steak and you throw it.

696
00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:15,440
It's like really thin because it's supposed to cook really fast.

697
00:39:15,440 --> 00:39:16,160
Right.

698
00:39:16,160 --> 00:39:16,400
Sure.

699
00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:18,960
But this but it's like the Korean version.

700
00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:20,080
It's just very popular.

701
00:39:20,080 --> 00:39:22,160
Like you literally just cook everything hot.

702
00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:29,360
The white American version is a giant ass grill where you cook way thicker cuts of meat

703
00:39:29,360 --> 00:39:31,120
and you can do all this other stuff.

704
00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:34,080
So it's like, guys, I got to read a Korean barbecue.

705
00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:38,560
But those who are listening, go check out whatever you should go there to.

706
00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:41,680
It's a great restaurant experience, but it's at the table.

707
00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:45,440
And they're like, do you think it'd be helpful to have the like hibachi experience where

708
00:39:45,440 --> 00:39:48,880
someone is guiding you to help you be a better chef?

709
00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:51,040
Is this sort of a cooking class thing?

710
00:39:51,040 --> 00:39:53,120
Oh, or is this here's your slab?

711
00:39:53,120 --> 00:39:53,920
Have fun.

712
00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:57,040
I think it's a little bit of here's your slab.

713
00:39:57,040 --> 00:39:57,920
Here's like.

714
00:39:57,920 --> 00:40:01,520
Yeah, but I guess there is like some probably person that's like making recommendations.

715
00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:06,480
And I think honestly, you give somebody a meat thermometer, you kind of solve the problem

716
00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:08,720
for cooking.

717
00:40:08,720 --> 00:40:15,280
I wonder if you could put I'd be really curious to see what level of exotic meats you could

718
00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:16,080
get on there.

719
00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:19,680
Just like things that you just would not normally be able to buy in a grocery store.

720
00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:22,320
Nice kangaroo alligator or something.

721
00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:23,120
Kangaroo.

722
00:40:23,120 --> 00:40:26,320
Yeah, that could be your claim to fame over there.

723
00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:27,520
You want to try a koala?

724
00:40:27,520 --> 00:40:28,160
Come on over.

725
00:40:28,160 --> 00:40:31,040
We need a toucan, please.

726
00:40:31,040 --> 00:40:32,800
40 pounds.

727
00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:40,080
There's a place just south of us here where we live that will sell a trailer that you

728
00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:41,760
hook up to your trailer hitch.

729
00:40:41,760 --> 00:40:46,000
And in it is a full spit roast giant pig pork.

730
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:47,280
And it has all the seasonings.

731
00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:48,080
It's all prepared.

732
00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:50,080
And it's inside of a grill unit.

733
00:40:50,080 --> 00:40:52,720
And all of that grill unit is contained in the trailer.

734
00:40:52,720 --> 00:40:54,480
And you haul it to your party.

735
00:40:54,480 --> 00:40:56,320
You light it how they tell you to light it.

736
00:40:56,320 --> 00:41:00,880
It cooks itself and you have yourself like a luau, like a whole barbecue thing that everything

737
00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:04,960
is taken care of for you, except you just when you're done, you take the mess and the

738
00:41:04,960 --> 00:41:06,960
food you didn't use of your haul it back.

739
00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:09,680
Yes, I wonder if you could make like that's really cool.

740
00:41:09,680 --> 00:41:12,880
I know we keep trying to bring this to like a restaurant in a place.

741
00:41:12,880 --> 00:41:13,200
I'm sorry.

742
00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:14,080
No, this is great.

743
00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:16,240
I keep no, I guess what I was.

744
00:41:16,240 --> 00:41:19,840
I actually had a I had spit ball this idea a long time ago.

745
00:41:19,840 --> 00:41:21,360
And that is what we came out with.

746
00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:23,440
It was called grilled daddies.

747
00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:28,720
So we have arrived at dude bro, Inc.

748
00:41:28,720 --> 00:41:29,520
All right.

749
00:41:29,520 --> 00:41:33,440
Where you literally you just hire a grill daddy to come by.

750
00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:38,880
And it turned really bachelorette party ask.

751
00:41:38,880 --> 00:41:41,920
You have pitched this to me in person before.

752
00:41:41,920 --> 00:41:46,080
Yeah, it's just honestly, just yeah, I'm gonna cook.

753
00:41:46,080 --> 00:41:47,120
You got a grill.

754
00:41:47,120 --> 00:41:48,000
You got the meat.

755
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:49,040
I'll be there to grill.

756
00:41:49,040 --> 00:41:50,640
I just drink Miller Lite.

757
00:41:50,640 --> 00:41:51,920
I listen to dad rock.

758
00:41:51,920 --> 00:41:54,720
And you can talk to me like there's actually some dude.

759
00:41:54,720 --> 00:41:59,040
The Craigslist Craigslist post for this actually happened.

760
00:41:59,040 --> 00:42:02,000
Wanted dad figure.

761
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:03,680
I know what exactly what you're talking about.

762
00:42:03,680 --> 00:42:04,240
Let me find it.

763
00:42:04,240 --> 00:42:07,120
Craigslist generic father figure ad.

764
00:42:07,120 --> 00:42:08,720
It was a viral meme from years ago.

765
00:42:08,720 --> 00:42:11,440
It was a one in poster thing on Craigslist.

766
00:42:11,440 --> 00:42:14,400
Needed generic father figure for backyard barbecue.

767
00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:18,240
To interested individuals will be throwing a backyard barbecue on June 17th to celebrate

768
00:42:18,240 --> 00:42:19,040
beer and each other.

769
00:42:19,040 --> 00:42:22,640
We range in age from 21 to 26, and most of us know how to operate a grill.

770
00:42:22,640 --> 00:42:25,840
None of us are prepared to fill the role of quote barbecue dad.

771
00:42:25,840 --> 00:42:29,760
That being said, we need a generic father figure from 4 PM to 8 PM, though you may see

772
00:42:29,760 --> 00:42:34,480
the full duration of the party duties include bullet points, grilling hamburgers and hot

773
00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:37,840
dogs whilst drinking beer, bringing your own grill, though this is subject to change.

774
00:42:37,840 --> 00:42:43,280
We'll provide all the meat referring to all attendees as quote big guy chief sport champ,

775
00:42:43,280 --> 00:42:43,920
etc.

776
00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:46,080
Parentheses while drinking beer.

777
00:42:46,080 --> 00:42:51,040
Talk about dad things like lawnmowers, building your own deck, Jimmy Buffett, etc.

778
00:42:51,040 --> 00:42:53,040
Funny anecdotes are highly encouraged.

779
00:42:53,040 --> 00:42:54,560
All wells drinking beer.

780
00:42:54,560 --> 00:42:58,400
That was the whole article, and then I think I had like a desired experience thing, and

781
00:42:58,400 --> 00:43:02,640
it said this is a real ad, a minimum of 18 years being a father, a minimum of 10 years

782
00:43:02,640 --> 00:43:05,680
grilling experience and appreciation of a nice cold beer on a hot summer day.

783
00:43:05,680 --> 00:43:09,040
We can't pay you in money, but we will give you all the free food and cold beer your heart

784
00:43:09,040 --> 00:43:09,760
desires.

785
00:43:09,760 --> 00:43:13,200
Girl for a few hours, sit back and crack open a few cold ones with the boys.

786
00:43:13,200 --> 00:43:15,040
This is a real ad.

787
00:43:15,040 --> 00:43:16,880
Do not hesitate to call if you're interested.

788
00:43:16,880 --> 00:43:20,160
Preference will be given to applicants named Bill, Randy or Dave.

789
00:43:20,160 --> 00:43:25,840
That's exactly it.

790
00:43:25,840 --> 00:43:30,160
When you first described this, I thought it was going to be like a Chippendale dancer

791
00:43:30,160 --> 00:43:33,040
with just an apron and nothing else, but this is way better.

792
00:43:33,040 --> 00:43:35,680
This is just for the bros, man.

793
00:43:35,680 --> 00:43:37,440
Grilled daddies, you know?

794
00:43:37,440 --> 00:43:42,240
Apparently it worked and they found three generic father figures.

795
00:43:42,240 --> 00:43:44,320
Three people answered the ad.

796
00:43:44,320 --> 00:43:45,280
That's a great ad, big guy.

797
00:43:45,280 --> 00:43:48,240
So you saw this meme and you wanted to turn it into a business, is what you're saying?

798
00:43:48,240 --> 00:43:54,160
I saw this meme and I experienced my own BYON, like bring your own meat experience.

799
00:43:54,160 --> 00:43:56,640
I'm like, I guess I could make a business out of this.

800
00:43:56,640 --> 00:43:59,680
I guess.

801
00:43:59,680 --> 00:44:00,240
You'd be honored to.

802
00:44:00,240 --> 00:44:01,360
No, I guess I don't.

803
00:44:01,360 --> 00:44:02,720
I've thought about that.

804
00:44:02,720 --> 00:44:07,680
I'm like, I just don't want to be doing that full time, like going to another.

805
00:44:07,680 --> 00:44:08,640
Make that your identity.

806
00:44:08,640 --> 00:44:09,120
Yeah.

807
00:44:09,120 --> 00:44:09,840
Yeah.

808
00:44:09,840 --> 00:44:10,880
It's like, what are you doing this weekend?

809
00:44:10,880 --> 00:44:12,480
Will you change your name to Randy?

810
00:44:13,920 --> 00:44:15,360
Daddy Randy.

811
00:44:15,360 --> 00:44:18,000
My name is Russell, but for the business, call me Bill.

812
00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:25,840
All right, Spencer, welcome.

813
00:44:25,840 --> 00:44:26,960
Let's hear your idea.

814
00:44:26,960 --> 00:44:28,240
Okay.

815
00:44:28,240 --> 00:44:31,840
Russell, I think we talked about this months ago, just kind of just throwing it out there,

816
00:44:31,840 --> 00:44:38,000
but or expanding on my idea, but I think it would be fun to have like, you know, speakeasies,

817
00:44:38,000 --> 00:44:43,120
I feel like are still somewhat of a thing or kind of cool little, you know, niche thing.

818
00:44:43,120 --> 00:44:48,720
But to have like a themed speakeasy where, you know, I don't know how you want to schedule it,

819
00:44:48,720 --> 00:44:55,040
maybe on top of the hour, every hour, you have like certain employees or paid actors where

820
00:44:55,040 --> 00:45:02,560
some guys are dressed in like 1920s or prohibition era cop uniforms and they come busting in and like-

821
00:45:02,560 --> 00:45:03,520
Shut down the place.

822
00:45:03,520 --> 00:45:07,040
Go after the bartender, chase out the guests or whatever.

823
00:45:07,040 --> 00:45:11,600
And then you have, you know, cause like this pops my head at the last speakeasy I went to,

824
00:45:11,600 --> 00:45:14,560
cause they're, you know, they're very like exclusive, like, oh, we can only fit like

825
00:45:14,560 --> 00:45:19,040
eight people at a time. So, it's almost like a way to like, okay, you reserve ahead of time,

826
00:45:19,040 --> 00:45:22,720
like, hey, we're going to be here at eight o'clock and like, okay, that means we know

827
00:45:22,720 --> 00:45:26,720
we're guaranteed, like, they're going to be kicking out the people in front of us.

828
00:45:26,720 --> 00:45:32,160
And then we're clear to go in and then, you know, the next hour that happens or

829
00:45:32,160 --> 00:45:35,280
then Russell and I, we would talk about this a little bit, maybe even

830
00:45:35,280 --> 00:45:39,680
mixing it up or different themes, or maybe even like you could

831
00:45:39,680 --> 00:45:44,080
cater it to like bachelor, bachelorette parties and do different themes. I don't even know.

832
00:45:44,080 --> 00:45:48,720
I'm trying to remember like a pirate theme or walk in the plank or something somehow, but-

833
00:45:48,720 --> 00:45:49,760
Okay, okay.

834
00:45:49,760 --> 00:45:54,640
Essentially just kind of along those lines, just like a weird, like fun,

835
00:45:54,640 --> 00:45:56,960
interesting night experience or something.

836
00:45:56,960 --> 00:46:03,440
Yes. So, wait, I'm sorry. Periodically, the cops bust in and try to bust up the party.

837
00:46:03,440 --> 00:46:03,680
Yeah.

838
00:46:03,680 --> 00:46:08,320
Or like, and if they see you holding a drink or something, then you have like 10 seconds to

839
00:46:08,320 --> 00:46:11,760
hide your drink in a right way. Otherwise, the cops kick you out and you legitimately

840
00:46:11,760 --> 00:46:12,720
get kicked out of the bar.

841
00:46:12,720 --> 00:46:15,040
It's a bar theme experience. Yeah.

842
00:46:15,040 --> 00:46:16,880
I do wonder if you can gamify it somehow.

843
00:46:16,880 --> 00:46:17,200
Whoa.

844
00:46:17,200 --> 00:46:22,080
Where you like make the bust that happens, you get kicked out unless you're able to

845
00:46:22,080 --> 00:46:26,960
pull off some sort of challenge or something that is thematic to the, you know, the bar.

846
00:46:26,960 --> 00:46:27,280
Yeah.

847
00:46:27,280 --> 00:46:33,280
Oh, that's legit. Like escape room, the drinking with drinking, like kind of like-

848
00:46:33,280 --> 00:46:34,240
Oh, yeah.

849
00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:39,120
I guess non-escape room where you want to stay there as long as you can.

850
00:46:39,120 --> 00:46:39,120
Yes.

851
00:46:39,120 --> 00:46:42,960
An anti-escape room.

852
00:46:42,960 --> 00:46:44,320
I've been here for three days. I'm a master.

853
00:46:44,320 --> 00:46:45,440
They keep trying to kick you out.

854
00:46:45,440 --> 00:46:50,720
So, I was just looking back at some of my notes. I was like, I get excited about this because I love,

855
00:46:50,720 --> 00:46:54,400
you know, cowboys and Western stuff. You can even have like a Western theme or

856
00:46:54,400 --> 00:46:58,400
saloon fight or something, drag someone, have the actor drag someone across the table.

857
00:46:58,400 --> 00:46:59,440
Yes.

858
00:46:59,440 --> 00:47:03,520
Oh, I think that's what I meant. I think that's what I thought of too. Either you sign a waiver

859
00:47:03,520 --> 00:47:08,480
or you decide ahead of time, like, yes, I'm willing to be involved in this, do whatever,

860
00:47:08,480 --> 00:47:10,720
not do whatever you want with me, but kind of-

861
00:47:10,720 --> 00:47:14,800
Can you imagine the thrill of going into that with like four friends where like you don't

862
00:47:14,800 --> 00:47:19,680
know what's going to happen and some dude picks a fight with you or something? That's crazy.

863
00:47:19,680 --> 00:47:20,240
Oh, that's cool.

864
00:47:20,240 --> 00:47:23,680
But like you could have like some sort of marker indicator to be like, hey,

865
00:47:23,680 --> 00:47:26,720
this guy has a green sticker, so he's good. He's cool with us.

866
00:47:26,720 --> 00:47:28,080
You're allowed to punch him in the face.

867
00:47:28,080 --> 00:47:32,960
He signed the waiver, man. You can do whatever you want to this guy.

868
00:47:32,960 --> 00:47:39,680
Guys, I think, Leo, what you said is like the secret sauce. This bar experience is like

869
00:47:39,680 --> 00:47:45,600
you have to bring the four other or eight other people and you're not supposed to tell

870
00:47:45,600 --> 00:47:51,680
them what's going on. It's just a crazy ass experience.

871
00:47:51,680 --> 00:47:55,840
I found this crazy new place. You got to check it out. That's fun. Surprise.

872
00:47:55,840 --> 00:48:01,680
It's only one table, only seats eight. It's kind of like a speakeasy. It's a little goofy

873
00:48:02,320 --> 00:48:07,120
or something like, let's just go. They have amazing drinks, right? And then all of a sudden,

874
00:48:07,120 --> 00:48:11,840
like freaking just.

875
00:48:11,840 --> 00:48:17,680
But once it happens once it's over, right? Once that happens, once you've lost the novelty,

876
00:48:17,680 --> 00:48:23,680
you got to make it something that can be repeated. I like the theme nights. So you've got your pirate

877
00:48:23,680 --> 00:48:25,840
night or whatever. That's cool. What else?

878
00:48:25,840 --> 00:48:31,200
I was telling Spencer the financials make sense because you basically turn tables every hour,

879
00:48:31,200 --> 00:48:36,320
right? So every hour you're just part of the experience is getting kicked out, right? So

880
00:48:36,320 --> 00:48:41,680
everybody gets kicked out every hour and you serve one or two drinks and you move on, right?

881
00:48:41,680 --> 00:48:46,720
It's just like, sure, the whole night could be the same, you know, our act every hour on the hour

882
00:48:46,720 --> 00:48:51,120
through the night and you just have new people. Yeah, kick them into the next room. That is a

883
00:48:51,120 --> 00:48:55,280
whole different theme. Oh, that's OK. I like that. They just have a chain of them and then you can

884
00:48:55,280 --> 00:48:58,880
leave any time or you could pick what rooms that you're going to ahead of time. I want to do the

885
00:48:58,880 --> 00:49:03,040
wild West room in the pirate. OK, now this is Westworld. I think we just made Westworld.

886
00:49:03,040 --> 00:49:06,560
Hold on. This gave me a great idea, Scott, at least in my mind. It's great. And it's building

887
00:49:06,560 --> 00:49:12,160
upon I forget who said this earlier about the escape room. The last room, the last room is

888
00:49:12,160 --> 00:49:16,480
actually an escape room. And you've already had you know, you're intoxicated. So it just makes

889
00:49:16,480 --> 00:49:21,600
it more difficult. And then by that point, you probably actually want to leave for the night.

890
00:49:21,600 --> 00:49:27,200
But you don't get to go to the bathroom until you solve, you know, Newton's puzzle.

891
00:49:27,200 --> 00:49:30,480
Your keys are just in like a glass box in the middle of the combo.

892
00:49:30,480 --> 00:49:35,920
Thank you. Time to sober up as you escape this room. You could probably drive home.

893
00:49:35,920 --> 00:49:38,640
You got to prove you're sober enough by solving this puzzle.

894
00:49:38,640 --> 00:49:43,280
Removes liability from the bar. That's great. Yeah. Keeps him there for another hour.

895
00:49:43,280 --> 00:49:52,720
So there's the theme restaurants like the Mars 20 whatever in New York where you get in a motion

896
00:49:52,720 --> 00:49:57,360
simulator, you ride for a little while, it gives you like, oh, you're flying to another planet.

897
00:49:57,360 --> 00:50:01,120
And then you land and then you go out the other side of the motion simulators doors.

898
00:50:01,120 --> 00:50:07,840
And the whole restaurant is themed like you're in like Mars or whatever. Right. So I wonder if

899
00:50:07,840 --> 00:50:13,760
there's a way that we could make the entry and exit into the different rooms or even just coming

900
00:50:13,760 --> 00:50:18,640
into the bar, like immersive in this way where we've got like the group that's getting ready

901
00:50:18,640 --> 00:50:23,440
to come in. So the fight has to happen to clear them all out. And you kind of get a machine

902
00:50:23,440 --> 00:50:29,680
assembly line Disney style going. It's like a whole experience. Yes. OK. Sorry. I did like

903
00:50:29,680 --> 00:50:36,080
I had a restaurant idea also where it's literally four seasons. Right. And you'd go from one themed

904
00:50:36,080 --> 00:50:41,680
room. Oh, you eat fall food. Then you eat summer food. Then you eat spring food and you eat

905
00:50:41,680 --> 00:50:48,160
whatever. He's four seasons. And the rooms are like grass and lights. And then all of a sudden

906
00:50:48,160 --> 00:50:53,280
it's cold and snowy. Yeah. You know, like but like you can apply this to like bar X private

907
00:50:53,280 --> 00:51:00,400
person. So it would like your theme drink star Michelin restaurant. Right. It's like this is.

908
00:51:00,400 --> 00:51:05,840
Yeah. You get your ice drinks, you get your frozen margaritas or whatever.

909
00:51:05,840 --> 00:51:13,600
Then you got your your hot toddy's summary, you know, or something. Oh, shoot. OK. That's fun.

910
00:51:13,600 --> 00:51:18,800
And it's the same exact layout and decoration and everything, except everything has been changed to

911
00:51:18,800 --> 00:51:24,320
be more fall or more winter or more spring. The four rooms look identical in every way,

912
00:51:24,320 --> 00:51:29,840
but you clear through. That's cool. That would be sweet. And then, of course, you swing in as a

913
00:51:29,840 --> 00:51:37,920
in the summer room. It's Tarzan. So he comes in and goes, he's he's your waiter. Tarzan's your

914
00:51:37,920 --> 00:51:44,320
waiter. The cloth. This is part of Spencer's actual like theme. It's like crazy events. So

915
00:51:44,320 --> 00:51:49,600
you just leave the restaurant. You're like Tarzan has to be part of this idea. It's about what

916
00:51:49,600 --> 00:51:57,280
Spencer said. It was his idea. OK. Yeah. The Spencer, I think, core concept idea of this

917
00:51:57,280 --> 00:52:02,560
is that you leave the bar and you're like, I can't believe that freaking happened.

918
00:52:03,200 --> 00:52:09,600
Like did not expect that at the bar today, even though it was a themed. But like, just like,

919
00:52:09,600 --> 00:52:14,160
I don't know, like I think they rotate escape rooms a lot. Right. So they have one escape room.

920
00:52:14,160 --> 00:52:19,760
You play it. You like four. But this is like, all right, it's the Western theme in this bar. And so

921
00:52:19,760 --> 00:52:25,520
you go every month and they change it out every month and you walk out of there like, oh, my gosh,

922
00:52:25,520 --> 00:52:32,240
this time the room was on fire or something. Just like like people are talking about it, you know,

923
00:52:32,240 --> 00:52:37,280
and like that's make a viral moment to take away their phones before they can go inside.

924
00:52:37,280 --> 00:52:42,640
That's a requirement. And it's 100 percent word of mouth people describing. And it's just going

925
00:52:42,640 --> 00:52:47,200
to be crazy, half hinged stories of like, you are not going to believe what just happened when I

926
00:52:47,200 --> 00:52:51,760
went to such and such place. Someone's trying to tell you a dream. Tarzan was swinging from the

927
00:52:51,760 --> 00:52:58,480
ceiling with a on fire bar and he served me, you know, an old fashioned while singing karaoke.

928
00:52:58,480 --> 00:53:03,120
Just make it completely unhinged. So the stories don't make any sense, but just keep it going.

929
00:53:03,120 --> 00:53:06,960
I wonder, too, maybe if we have enough success or big enough,

930
00:53:06,960 --> 00:53:12,640
eventually we could expand out and request or have like celebrity guest appearances or get like,

931
00:53:12,640 --> 00:53:16,240
you know, big time actors to come in and be, you know, part of the

932
00:53:16,240 --> 00:53:21,760
part of the rotation every now and then for fun. Make a cameo that no one is going to believe that.

933
00:53:21,760 --> 00:53:26,480
Because he's going to be there for like one time and then the other times everybody's going to

934
00:53:26,480 --> 00:53:29,920
think that you're going to see Bill Murray. He's going to be here. He's going to be here.

935
00:53:29,920 --> 00:53:34,960
Exactly. Oh, on that note, one night, just do a completely normal restaurant.

936
00:53:34,960 --> 00:53:39,520
Everyone is waiting to actually do this. 100 percent normal.

937
00:53:39,520 --> 00:53:47,200
Just a regular speakeasy. I don't know. Tell you right over budget this month.

938
00:53:47,200 --> 00:53:50,320
Someone clearly lied to you. I don't know what gave you that impression that we were.

939
00:53:50,320 --> 00:53:55,520
That would be interesting. Throw them off. Yeah, I just think it would be a really different

940
00:53:55,520 --> 00:54:00,960
experience to like go to like a thematic bar that isn't just like sitting at a bar and drinking at

941
00:54:00,960 --> 00:54:05,920
a table. It's like you're watching. You keep waiting. Yeah. You're talking and all of a sudden

942
00:54:05,920 --> 00:54:10,880
like people get rowdy and you're like, are they part of the group or is that the other party?

943
00:54:10,880 --> 00:54:17,680
Is this just a bar fight that's happening? Yeah. Like the more the more like the more

944
00:54:17,680 --> 00:54:22,240
realistic it is and the more you feel a part of it, the more epic it is. Right.

945
00:54:22,240 --> 00:54:25,600
Did he just stab him with that? Was that a real broken bottle or was it?

946
00:54:25,600 --> 00:54:32,400
I just think it'd be fun to bring like my wife to like one of these and it's like it would be

947
00:54:32,400 --> 00:54:41,360
very real for her. You don't tell her. Yeah. The surprise aspect of that is on the.

948
00:54:41,360 --> 00:54:49,520
No social media pictures. Nothing. Yeah. Well, I have a feeling that this is one idea that our

949
00:54:49,520 --> 00:54:56,560
listeners may not end up taking and running with. But if you are the type of person who's going to

950
00:54:56,560 --> 00:55:02,560
start a restaurant where people attack each other unexpectedly, don't please let us know. Yes.

951
00:55:02,560 --> 00:55:09,920
No, I feel like there's some people there's some escape room success story that somebody's like,

952
00:55:09,920 --> 00:55:16,720
you know what? I'm going to take my escape room and repurpose it into a bar and turn it into this.

953
00:55:16,720 --> 00:55:24,640
It's a escape room is hilarious. Like Leo's like, so he's like, no, no, I do it. I'm terrible at

954
00:55:24,640 --> 00:55:33,280
escape rooms. Sober. So I'd have to go to the beginner's room, the bunny hill bunny hill

955
00:55:33,280 --> 00:55:36,880
picture in an escape room where you give them a bunch of edibles and you have like an hour

956
00:55:36,880 --> 00:55:43,280
to get out before they kick in like major LSD trip or something like hard.

957
00:55:46,080 --> 00:55:51,360
Oh, man, this grid of numbers is starting to get real abstract.

958
00:55:51,360 --> 00:55:56,400
Part of the clues is you have to eat an edible as to continue on. So somebody has to decide.

959
00:55:56,400 --> 00:56:03,040
You're like, I can't get any higher than this. You've got like the designated hitter. Oh,

960
00:56:03,040 --> 00:56:08,400
yeah. You got to sacrifice someone. He was doing so well on the astrolabe over there,

961
00:56:08,400 --> 00:56:12,640
but we we can't take another. He's asleep. He's got to be the one sleep together.

962
00:56:14,320 --> 00:56:18,800
Just put it in his mouth. That's also unhinged.

963
00:56:18,800 --> 00:56:23,680
Thank you very much for listening, everyone. We hope you enjoyed yourself. And thank you very
