1
00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:05,200
I'm Scott.

2
00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:06,100
I'm Russell.

3
00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:06,680
I'm Leo.

4
00:00:06,780 --> 00:00:07,520
This is Spitball.

5
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:17,900
Welcome to Spitball.

6
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:23,460
Where three nostalgic nerds and so many guests over the last two years have emptied our heads

7
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:27,220
of startup and tech product ideas that we have stuck up in there so everyone out there

8
00:00:27,340 --> 00:00:28,580
can have them for free.

9
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:35,300
that we have said has been yours to keep. And this week we're on a summer hiatus and we have a lot of

10
00:00:35,460 --> 00:00:39,040
listeners to the show that are new who may not have heard some of our earlier stuff and we've

11
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:44,400
had some really great ideas over the last two years. So we wanted to go maybe back into the

12
00:00:44,580 --> 00:00:49,560
archives and pick some of our favorites. So we've thrown together a little best of for you this week.

13
00:00:49,700 --> 00:00:55,860
So kicking it off first, we had an all-time favorite of the three of ours, author, technologist,

14
00:00:56,160 --> 00:01:00,480
and general enthusiast for tech culture, Chase Roberts on the show, where he

15
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:02,880
pitched us Netflix for Legos.

16
00:01:04,739 --> 00:01:07,420
All right, Chase, what have you brought to us this week?

17
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:13,080
Um, so I pitched this one in an email actually, uh, a couple of weeks ago.

18
00:01:13,540 --> 00:01:16,300
Um, for my newsletter, just people who have bought my book.

19
00:01:16,930 --> 00:01:19,880
Um, and that was a Netflix for Legos.

20
00:01:20,370 --> 00:01:26,140
So basically my kids, like they'll put together a Lego set and then

21
00:01:26,140 --> 00:01:28,520
basically just goes in the bin with all the other Legos.

22
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:30,900
And we've got, I mean, I said a bin,

23
00:01:31,020 --> 00:01:34,000
I've got like three of these huge bins filled with Legos.

24
00:01:34,580 --> 00:01:36,660
And like, we have more than enough for free building.

25
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:38,640
And my kids are terrible at free building anyway,

26
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:39,480
and never do it.

27
00:01:39,740 --> 00:01:41,620
But it's like, it just feels like such a waste

28
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:44,240
to spend $100 on a new Lego set, and they do it once,

29
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:45,600
and then it just goes in the bin forever.

30
00:01:46,260 --> 00:01:48,760
And so I was like, what if I could just rent the Lego set,

31
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:50,540
they could put it together, I could send it back,

32
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:52,300
and they could send it on to another kid, right?

33
00:01:53,020 --> 00:01:54,560
So that's idea number one.

34
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:55,340
- That's great.

35
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:57,020
- Oh, Lego library.

36
00:01:57,800 --> 00:01:58,760
- Like a Lego library.

37
00:01:59,120 --> 00:01:59,180
And

38
00:01:59,180 --> 00:01:59,800
I think some

39
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:01,460
libraries might even have Legos.

40
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:02,400
Mine doesn't.

41
00:02:03,470 --> 00:02:05,460
But I think, I don't know, I think it's a cool idea.

42
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:06,940
There's some issues with, like,

43
00:02:06,970 --> 00:02:08,020
you gotta figure out shipping,

44
00:02:08,539 --> 00:02:10,920
'cause you start shipping Lego sets back and forth.

45
00:02:11,039 --> 00:02:11,340
If you get

46
00:02:11,340 --> 00:02:12,220
people on subscription

47
00:02:12,460 --> 00:02:12,920
and they're doing

48
00:02:12,920 --> 00:02:13,960
two or three a month,

49
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:15,880
shipping adds up.

50
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:18,160
Yeah, and then counting pieces.

51
00:02:19,620 --> 00:02:21,660
I feel like that's a solvable problem.

52
00:02:22,220 --> 00:02:24,160
We could build some robots to count pieces.

53
00:02:24,700 --> 00:02:26,520
There's some YouTube videos of people.

54
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:29,000
- When it gets back and if it's off by X amount,

55
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:30,760
then pull it open and count the

56
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:31,300
pieces or

57
00:02:31,300 --> 00:02:31,500
something.

58
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:31,860
- Yeah.

59
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:33,920
- Right, visual learning, right?

60
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:35,780
That's the visual eye camera thing.

61
00:02:36,140 --> 00:02:36,340
- Yeah.

62
00:02:36,660 --> 00:02:36,880
- Yeah.

63
00:02:36,980 --> 00:02:38,540
- But those are solvable issues.

64
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:38,980
- Yes.

65
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:41,200
- Those are fun problems.

66
00:02:41,500 --> 00:02:42,180
- Those are fun problems.

67
00:02:42,220 --> 00:02:42,360
- And

68
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:43,680
if you're making the service,

69
00:02:43,920 --> 00:02:47,160
you don't have to use like the official Harry Potter set

70
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:48,240
with all of its whack pieces.

71
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:50,480
You could make your own sets that are a little more basic

72
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:52,480
and easy to keep track of with, you know,

73
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:52,900
all the

74
00:02:52,900 --> 00:02:53,780
basic parts.

75
00:02:54,260 --> 00:02:57,460
You have your own plane set that your Netflix for Legos

76
00:02:57,660 --> 00:02:59,560
has designed with, you

77
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:00,340
know exactly

78
00:03:00,340 --> 00:03:01,040
it's the same

79
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:03,320
like 50 pieces across the entire thing,

80
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:04,680
so you get the economies of scale there.

81
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:05,760
- Yeah. - Whoa.

82
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:09,880
- And there are some people who've done similar things.

83
00:03:10,420 --> 00:03:12,160
I think there's somebody in like the UK

84
00:03:12,460 --> 00:03:15,720
that's doing rent Lego stuff.

85
00:03:16,640 --> 00:03:17,820
I don't know, I think it's a fun idea.

86
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:19,760
Like I'd sign up and do it.

87
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:21,380
- Dude, I could Spitball that for like,

88
00:03:22,060 --> 00:03:22,980
what Leo, you just said.

89
00:03:22,980 --> 00:03:23,220
- I know,

90
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:24,240
like

91
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:25,440
Chase, you

92
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:26,000
could totally,

93
00:03:26,220 --> 00:03:29,120
I think you said this, what if you took or scanned

94
00:03:29,300 --> 00:03:30,280
all the Legos in your

95
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:32,300
library

96
00:03:33,340 --> 00:03:37,240
and just open source Lego creations, right?

97
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:38,300
And so now people know

98
00:03:38,300 --> 00:03:39,080
your inventory

99
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:41,340
and now your subscription, Netflix style,

100
00:03:41,450 --> 00:03:45,140
is not getting new boxes but taking your current Lego set

101
00:03:45,260 --> 00:03:47,880
and applying it to new designs,

102
00:03:48,060 --> 00:03:50,319
creator community, or--

103
00:03:50,660 --> 00:03:54,860
It just auto generates the instructions based upon what you have in front of you.

104
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:57,140
So there's actually an app that does this.

105
00:03:57,260 --> 00:03:58,720
I think it's called Brickit.

106
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:00,080
And

107
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:04,720
you spread out all your Legos on the carpet and then you like hold it up and

108
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:08,800
it, it's supposed to scan your Legos and inventory and then tell you what you can

109
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:09,200
build.

110
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:12,080
In theory, it's really awesome.

111
00:04:12,300 --> 00:04:16,660
I haven't used it in a while, but I tried using it like two years ago and I scanned

112
00:04:16,660 --> 00:04:20,040
probably like 200 pieces and then it kicked back and it was like,

113
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:22,860
you can use 20 of your pieces to build this bird. And I was

114
00:04:22,860 --> 00:04:23,020
like,

115
00:04:23,100 --> 00:04:23,960
well, that's not exciting.

116
00:04:24,820 --> 00:04:28,400
So the execution wasn't quite there when I tested it.

117
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:30,960
It's probably better now, but yeah,

118
00:04:31,090 --> 00:04:35,480
like the community, there's a lot of people in the Lego space, um,

119
00:04:35,660 --> 00:04:36,720
working on cool ideas

120
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:37,180
like this.

121
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:41,800
Peer to peer, like, Hey, you and the guy across town who has,

122
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:42,700
it's more age

123
00:04:42,700 --> 00:04:43,560
kids has,

124
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,400
if you work together, you could build this mega robot,

125
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:48,680
but you only have half the pieces

126
00:04:48,770 --> 00:04:50,140
and so do they have the other half.

127
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:51,020
It's a dating

128
00:04:51,020 --> 00:04:52,040
app, but for Legos.

129
00:04:53,460 --> 00:04:53,820
(laughing)

130
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:55,360
Yikes.

131
00:04:56,280 --> 00:04:58,120
No, it could be good what you were saying though,

132
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:00,300
like if you could inventory all of your Legos

133
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:02,780
and do it correctly, you know,

134
00:05:02,900 --> 00:05:04,480
and then like upload it somewhere

135
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:06,420
and then we could send you designs,

136
00:05:06,500 --> 00:05:07,960
that'd be cool for sure.

137
00:05:08,340 --> 00:05:10,160
Or if you could just somehow say like,

138
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:12,520
I know I've bought this Lego set in the past,

139
00:05:12,620 --> 00:05:13,980
I've bought this Lego set in the past,

140
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:15,860
like I know I have these pieces.

141
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:17,520
And just do it that way.

142
00:05:18,180 --> 00:05:19,580
Like maybe that's the way to do it.

143
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:21,600
And then it's like, oh yeah, build the mega robot

144
00:05:21,940 --> 00:05:26,620
from these 20 sets that you said you already, that you have.

145
00:05:27,020 --> 00:05:30,320
- And Lego themselves have the whole ideas forge thing

146
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:32,520
where people submit designs that they've created

147
00:05:32,580 --> 00:05:34,420
that they want Lego to make a set for.

148
00:05:34,860 --> 00:05:37,620
So clearly there's like a well of people

149
00:05:37,860 --> 00:05:41,260
who are creative with designing cool new things

150
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:43,320
that are like, they have,

151
00:05:43,540 --> 00:05:45,500
here's what you can make with these parts, right?

152
00:05:46,380 --> 00:05:47,740
That inspiration is out there.

153
00:05:48,140 --> 00:05:49,860
I'm not the kind of person who can look at a pile

154
00:05:49,860 --> 00:05:51,720
and say, this is gonna be great as a robot,

155
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:54,800
but there's clearly a lot of people out there who are.

156
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:56,700
I'd love to like get connected with them, yeah.

157
00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:57,560
- That's cool.

158
00:06:02,260 --> 00:06:04,200
- We were so fortunate back in episode 22

159
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:06,960
to have Rebecca, our friend of all three of ours,

160
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:09,920
pitch the idea of a bone conducting hearing aid.

161
00:06:11,900 --> 00:06:14,620
All right, Rebecca, welcome and let's hear it.

162
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:17,000
What's your Spitball idea of the day?

163
00:06:17,700 --> 00:06:20,360
- Okay, so I've always been really interested

164
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:24,180
in like sensory substitution or sensory expansion.

165
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:28,100
I came to the States when I was two and I'm partially deaf,

166
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:30,080
so I have a hearing aid in my right ear

167
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:32,960
and it's not from the auditory nerve,

168
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:34,440
which means I don't have brain damage,

169
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:37,720
so I can still pick up sounds through vibration,

170
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:40,120
but it just needs to be amplified.

171
00:06:40,340 --> 00:06:41,920
It's basically a mechanical issue.

172
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:44,300
So my eardrum is static.

173
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:46,200
Usually an eardrum is really dynamic

174
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:48,300
and with sound waves, it flexes

175
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:51,320
and then translates those waves into sound in your brain.

176
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:54,120
Mine's damaged, so it doesn't actually flex.

177
00:06:54,260 --> 00:06:55,560
There's a lot of scar tissue on it.

178
00:06:56,260 --> 00:06:58,400
And throughout the years, like hearing aids,

179
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:00,620
functionally, if I took it out right now,

180
00:07:00,620 --> 00:07:02,340
it almost looks like a little tiny satellite

181
00:07:02,500 --> 00:07:03,860
that can go right into the ear.

182
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:07,080
So I take it out when I work out, I do hot yoga.

183
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:10,320
So it's like, I feel like they're tasting and everything

184
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:13,780
And all of the little electrical components are pretty delicate.

185
00:07:14,570 --> 00:07:16,860
And I was on a plane one time and I saw this guy.

186
00:07:16,940 --> 00:07:24,300
He had these totally encased silicone earphones that actually sat above his ears like a cochlear

187
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:25,080
implant would.

188
00:07:25,540 --> 00:07:26,480
They're called Shox.

189
00:07:26,770 --> 00:07:28,180
I think they're like 200 bucks.

190
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:34,580
And they're waterproof and it seems like such a better feature for a hearing aid.

191
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:37,960
So when I went to my audiologist, I was like, "Do you have anything that's like a cochlear

192
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:43,220
implant, but it's like just single and I don't actually have to have a hole drilled in my

193
00:07:43,300 --> 00:07:47,300
head that I could use because they, I, I, he let me try them on and they were awesome.

194
00:07:47,820 --> 00:07:52,240
The sound came through really crisp and clear and I have to like stick something in my ear

195
00:07:52,300 --> 00:07:55,840
and have it sit like on top. I don't have, I wouldn't have to take it out when I exercise.

196
00:07:56,060 --> 00:08:07,940
It's like the shock absorbent properties of whatever the shocks were made out of. Plus

197
00:08:07,940 --> 00:08:13,440
an actual hearing aid that's like a cochlear implant that sits above the ear instead of

198
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:22,860
piping something directly into the ear canal. And it's, yeah, more user-friendly for exercising.

199
00:08:24,020 --> 00:08:26,940
I think you could probably even swim in it. So

200
00:08:26,940 --> 00:08:27,820
yeah.

201
00:08:27,900 --> 00:08:32,760
So once again, I have a pair of the Aftershocks, the running version, so they're not

202
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:33,039
totally

203
00:08:33,180 --> 00:08:33,360
waterproof,

204
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:36,380
but they're sweatproof and stuff. And they're great. I use them because they sit

205
00:08:36,340 --> 00:08:41,080
on top of my ear, like you said, and they're bone conducting, and you don't have your ear

206
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:42,599
occluded so you can still hear traffic.

207
00:08:42,740 --> 00:08:48,020
And when I'm commuting via bike or I ride a one wheel, I can still hear traffic and

208
00:08:48,140 --> 00:08:53,120
car horns and things around me without occluding, you know, and blocking out the world.

209
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:55,400
They're also great for wearing around the office.

210
00:08:55,500 --> 00:08:59,420
You have your podcast or music in or whatever, and if somebody says, "Hey, come here for

211
00:08:59,420 --> 00:09:01,720
a second," you can still hear what's going on around you.

212
00:09:02,100 --> 00:09:02,500
They're great.

213
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:07,320
They don't sound super great, but they'd be great for an amplification of in-room audio

214
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:07,800
for sure.

215
00:09:08,270 --> 00:09:11,120
And you're saying that this doesn't exist as a hearing aid right now?

216
00:09:11,779 --> 00:09:12,940
That is crazy.

217
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:19,260
Your options for the bone actually is for a cochlear implant.

218
00:09:19,580 --> 00:09:20,040
That's it?

219
00:09:20,500 --> 00:09:22,020
That's ancient technology now, right?

220
00:09:22,020 --> 00:09:25,280
I feel like they've been doing that for a long time.

221
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:25,860
I guess it's like

222
00:09:25,860 --> 00:09:26,580
2024.

223
00:09:27,620 --> 00:09:28,460
They haven't fixed that?

224
00:09:29,560 --> 00:09:32,580
My thing is like, we can literally send shit to Mars,

225
00:09:33,100 --> 00:09:35,440
and we can't come up with better things

226
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:38,220
that like go on our bodies, that it makes me feel crazy.

227
00:09:38,260 --> 00:09:39,120
- And the Aftershocks

228
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:39,760
that I have,

229
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:43,000
have a microphone in them for phone calls, for Bluetooth.

230
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:46,280
But they just don't pipe the microphone that's in them

231
00:09:46,380 --> 00:09:48,860
into the speaker that's on them.

232
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:49,480
- Wait, what?

233
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:51,340
Like there's a separate microphone

234
00:09:51,340 --> 00:09:51,520
to it?

235
00:09:51,540 --> 00:09:52,140
- You're 99

236
00:09:52,140 --> 00:09:53,220
.9% of the way there.

237
00:09:53,220 --> 00:09:54,000
- Totally, I feel like you just do

238
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:54,740
a steady change.

239
00:09:54,780 --> 00:09:55,280
- They're headphones.

240
00:09:55,580 --> 00:09:55,720
- Yeah.

241
00:09:56,399 --> 00:09:58,880
- Yeah, they're headphones that have a microphone,

242
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:00,200
So you can take a phone call, right?

243
00:10:00,260 --> 00:10:01,780
Like any, most Bluetooth headphones have,

244
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:04,240
but there's no way to like turn on,

245
00:10:04,660 --> 00:10:06,360
make the microphone pick up what's in the room

246
00:10:06,500 --> 00:10:08,560
and make that sound louder in the headphone.

247
00:10:09,060 --> 00:10:11,600
It only can pipe the sound to the phone call,

248
00:10:11,660 --> 00:10:12,340
to the phone, you know?

249
00:10:12,900 --> 00:10:15,800
- No, no, I'm confused as to why this doesn't exist.

250
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:18,840
This seems like very doable and clearly useful.

251
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:20,920
- Without Googling it, AfterShokz,

252
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:21,440
I think,

253
00:10:21,580 --> 00:10:24,100
makes a version that's two independent ones too.

254
00:10:24,260 --> 00:10:26,480
So we're like 99.99% of

255
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:27,100
the way there.

256
00:10:27,140 --> 00:10:27,760
- You just need to call

257
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:28,140
their

258
00:10:28,140 --> 00:10:29,160
customer service line.

259
00:10:29,900 --> 00:10:29,980
- Should

260
00:10:29,980 --> 00:10:31,100
we not air this episode?

261
00:10:31,260 --> 00:10:32,720
- Could you please turn on the microphone?

262
00:10:33,940 --> 00:10:34,160
- Yeah.

263
00:10:35,380 --> 00:10:36,500
- So the other piece of it is too,

264
00:10:36,580 --> 00:10:38,380
like for people who are profoundly deaf,

265
00:10:38,460 --> 00:10:41,000
like I still have hearing in my left ear

266
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:43,180
and I'm not profoundly deaf, just partially.

267
00:10:43,750 --> 00:10:46,440
I feel like there's options for vibrations

268
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:49,220
to be able to be translated in different parts of your body.

269
00:10:49,580 --> 00:10:52,300
So maybe you can't, your auditory nerve is broken,

270
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:54,860
but I've seen things like wristwatches

271
00:10:54,860 --> 00:10:57,240
or like whole chess pieces that people put on

272
00:10:57,260 --> 00:11:00,400
like smaller children to translate sound waves

273
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:03,300
or vibrations and correlate it to certain sounds

274
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:05,860
like certain pitches and the sound of a dog

275
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:07,780
that can help round out

276
00:11:07,780 --> 00:11:09,060
the way that you

277
00:11:09,060 --> 00:11:09,600
hear

278
00:11:10,070 --> 00:11:13,240
'cause your brain is just perceiving these sound waves.

279
00:11:13,270 --> 00:11:17,180
And so I feel like there's some kind of in-between there

280
00:11:17,300 --> 00:11:20,620
between like an over the ear hearing aid

281
00:11:20,780 --> 00:11:23,800
and that vibrational piece that people are like strapping

282
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:24,460
all over their body.

283
00:11:25,100 --> 00:11:26,700
But I don't know how any of the

284
00:11:26,700 --> 00:11:27,600
science pieces

285
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:28,640
of it work, but.

286
00:11:29,680 --> 00:11:33,480
Yeah, you just need an equalizer, so you make your bass more loud

287
00:11:33,620 --> 00:11:36,900
if you can't pick that up naturally as well or vice versa.

288
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:39,600
I think that most traditional

289
00:11:42,020 --> 00:11:44,180
hearing aids themselves do filter out.

290
00:11:44,420 --> 00:11:49,760
Like I know that my pair of I think it's Pixel Buds or Sony earbuds

291
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:53,140
or AirPods all have active noise cancelling

292
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:55,560
where you can say only let the voices through

293
00:11:55,660 --> 00:11:56,860
but the rest of the sound not.

294
00:11:57,460 --> 00:12:00,140
And AI is getting really, really good at real time,

295
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:01,960
like only let certain frequencies through.

296
00:12:02,140 --> 00:12:03,720
So if you had a personalized profile

297
00:12:03,780 --> 00:12:06,860
of what frequencies you can and cannot pick up naturally,

298
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:09,560
then you just boost what you're not able to pick up.

299
00:12:09,680 --> 00:12:12,000
And you like, it's your own real

300
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:12,880
world EQ

301
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:14,620
and you normalize it yourself.

302
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:15,160
That's so

303
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:15,380
good.

304
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:17,760
- Can I tune out certain voices of certain people

305
00:12:18,060 --> 00:12:18,840
and just be like,

306
00:12:20,190 --> 00:12:20,300
(laughing)

307
00:12:20,300 --> 00:12:21,460
this person talk ever.

308
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:25,760
I'm sorry, I can't. I can't hear you. You're on

309
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:26,440
mute. Sorry,

310
00:12:26,470 --> 00:12:27,540
I put you on mute.

311
00:12:27,740 --> 00:12:28,820
You, a person.

312
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:33,620
Real life mute. Isn't there a black mirror about that? Somebody gets like

313
00:12:33,620 --> 00:12:34,180
shunned from

314
00:12:34,380 --> 00:12:38,020
society so they're blacked out and you can't see or hear them and they're just like

315
00:12:38,020 --> 00:12:38,500
a blur

316
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:43,500
because they were committed to crime or something? That's gonna be this show. It's like that. When

317
00:12:43,500 --> 00:12:43,720
we

318
00:12:43,580 --> 00:12:46,220
we get famous, you know, people are gonna be muting us.

319
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:46,960
(laughs)

320
00:12:48,020 --> 00:12:48,380
Full

321
00:12:48,380 --> 00:12:48,640
kids.

322
00:12:48,660 --> 00:12:49,620
- IRL blocked.

323
00:12:50,190 --> 00:12:50,280
(laughs)

324
00:12:50,680 --> 00:12:52,300
- I wanna, I guess like imagine,

325
00:12:52,740 --> 00:12:53,940
thinking of concerts, right?

326
00:12:54,370 --> 00:12:55,980
You can't, you wanna hear the concert,

327
00:12:56,060 --> 00:12:57,200
but you wanna talk to your friend

328
00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:00,480
and you don't wanna scream, like, or you're at a bar

329
00:13:01,020 --> 00:13:02,740
and now you're just, everybody's talking

330
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:05,020
and now you can have a normal voice conversation

331
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:06,280
and not yell at

332
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:07,460
each other because you have

333
00:13:07,460 --> 00:13:07,900
this like,

334
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:10,380
bone, you still have the bar experience with,

335
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:12,560
but you can isolate voices or.

336
00:13:13,500 --> 00:13:13,860
Yeah,

337
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:19,580
like it's maybe more magnify rather than like isolate because you still want to hear the outside sound

338
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:21,700
But you want to magnify in a specific voice

339
00:13:23,900 --> 00:13:27,260
So aftershock should just or whatever we create a version like this

340
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:33,020
That's just like a setting that allows you to have normal conversation with people in loud places

341
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:35,140
simple, right

342
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:42,779
Rebecca this is one of those ideas that's making me angry that it's like doesn't exist because it's we're so close as a society

343
00:13:43,779 --> 00:13:45,920
Aftershocks only makes the kind that you're talking about

344
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:46,020
where

345
00:13:46,020 --> 00:13:47,120
they wrap all the way around

346
00:13:47,140 --> 00:13:48,100
and it's one big wrap

347
00:13:48,100 --> 00:13:48,600
around earbud.

348
00:13:49,180 --> 00:13:51,880
There is no one that I've seen that's two from them,

349
00:13:51,980 --> 00:13:54,720
but other brands have some like bone conducting ones.

350
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:57,620
So basically you just want to like take one of the two

351
00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:00,620
pair of earbuds that bone conducts and stick it on the side

352
00:14:00,700 --> 00:14:03,840
that you are more deaf in and crank up the volume

353
00:14:03,940 --> 00:14:04,160
from the

354
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:04,940
mic that's on it.

355
00:14:05,060 --> 00:14:05,900
Yeah, totally.

356
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:08,340
- And I feel like anything in age tech,

357
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:10,360
most deaf patients are older.

358
00:14:10,940 --> 00:14:12,780
I feel like there's a silver tsunami coming

359
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:14,760
and we have to figure some of this stuff out

360
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:16,600
and then people like me will benefit greatly.

361
00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:17,520
- Yeah.

362
00:14:17,820 --> 00:14:18,000
- Yeah.

363
00:14:18,460 --> 00:14:21,360
- Hearing aids were recently opened up

364
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:23,900
for over-the-counter administration,

365
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:26,860
which hopefully will spur some innovation in this market

366
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:28,620
because they've been restricted by,

367
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:30,260
you need to go to an audiologist,

368
00:14:30,500 --> 00:14:32,180
you need to have a prescription and stuff for

369
00:14:32,180 --> 00:14:32,520
decades.

370
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:34,680
- What's crazy is it's not covered by insurance either.

371
00:14:35,100 --> 00:14:36,180
- What? - That's nuts.

372
00:14:36,180 --> 00:14:37,520
- Yeah, they're only four grand.

373
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:38,700
- Man, this country sucks.

374
00:14:38,980 --> 00:14:40,080
- And they're not covered by insurance.

375
00:14:40,420 --> 00:14:42,220
- Four grand, is that what you just said?

376
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:45,560
- And it's not covered by insurance.

377
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:46,900
- Man, how long do they last?

378
00:14:47,140 --> 00:14:50,440
- I mean, you can like 15 years, 10 years,

379
00:14:50,580 --> 00:14:51,880
but like the tech gets

380
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:52,400
better all

381
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:52,940
the time.

382
00:14:54,020 --> 00:14:56,080
- Wow, I guess like, is that its own insurance?

383
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:57,880
It's like vision, maybe that's why.

384
00:14:58,300 --> 00:15:00,680
Like, I guess people are walking around blind all the time.

385
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:02,900
I just don't understand why that's not covered by insurance.

386
00:15:05,020 --> 00:15:06,640
It's okay if they're blind, you know,

387
00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:08,100
they gotta pay for vision insurance,

388
00:15:08,380 --> 00:15:10,000
not healthy, it's not for their health.

389
00:15:11,470 --> 00:15:12,580
- Or dental, like,

390
00:15:12,820 --> 00:15:12,880
yeah,

391
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:13,540
you're covered

392
00:15:13,740 --> 00:15:15,060
except for the teeth, like what?

393
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:16,560
- That's not critical to your health.

394
00:15:16,580 --> 00:15:17,500
- How is that not health?

395
00:15:18,380 --> 00:15:19,520
This country makes no sense.

396
00:15:19,780 --> 00:15:21,400
Yeah, it sucks that they're $200

397
00:15:21,980 --> 00:15:24,240
for a really good pair of Bluetooth earbuds,

398
00:15:25,060 --> 00:15:27,400
which do a lot more than a hearing aid,

399
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:31,160
but then a hearing aid unit itself is thousands and

400
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:31,360
thousands.

401
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:31,920
- Totally a racket.

402
00:15:32,420 --> 00:15:33,560
- Hopefully that's being fixed soon.

403
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:37,200
- Like my urgency here is I'm not getting more hearing.

404
00:15:37,540 --> 00:15:41,720
So the deafer I get, so somebody out there listening,

405
00:15:42,540 --> 00:15:45,100
make me an on the bone hearing aid.

406
00:15:45,580 --> 00:15:46,140
- Mark, it's there.

407
00:15:46,650 --> 00:15:48,420
- You said that you do have a little bit of sensitivity

408
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:48,880
in the one

409
00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:49,240
ear, right?

410
00:15:49,420 --> 00:15:52,220
- On the right ear, I'm partially deaf, yeah, yep.

411
00:15:52,590 --> 00:15:53,960
- Do you have, partially, okay.

412
00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:57,000
Have you ever tried putting in one Bluetooth earbud

413
00:15:57,060 --> 00:15:58,560
and just cranking up the pass through?

414
00:15:59,260 --> 00:15:59,620
- No.

415
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:00,660
- Really, really loud?

416
00:16:00,740 --> 00:16:01,100
- No.

417
00:16:01,660 --> 00:16:02,720
- That'd be interesting to do

418
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:03,120
as a little experiment.

419
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:03,280
- Probably just

420
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:04,700
every noise though, right?

421
00:16:05,060 --> 00:16:07,640
You can get-- well, I mean, like, AirPods and Sonys,

422
00:16:07,740 --> 00:16:09,840
you can say only let voices through and stuff.

423
00:16:09,940 --> 00:16:11,460
So that would be an interesting thing.

424
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:13,380
Everybody would be different listening to this.

425
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:13,720
Yeah.

426
00:16:14,060 --> 00:16:15,460
Yeah, because they tune them.

427
00:16:15,820 --> 00:16:16,200
Like, when you

428
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:17,020
go to an audiologist,

429
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:19,740
based off of the frequencies that you can hear--

430
00:16:19,740 --> 00:16:20,000
and lower

431
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:20,720
sounds are much

432
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:21,860
harder for me to hear.

433
00:16:22,379 --> 00:16:25,000
So they-- like, I'll take it out if I go to a concert,

434
00:16:26,660 --> 00:16:29,360
or mine's tuned to pick up lower frequencies.

435
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:32,220
So male voices, if I'm not looking at you

436
00:16:32,260 --> 00:16:33,880
and kind of watching your mouth, I

437
00:16:33,700 --> 00:16:34,760
I can miss like a third of a

438
00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:35,200
conversation.

439
00:16:35,220 --> 00:16:37,060
- Three white married 30 somethings

440
00:16:37,060 --> 00:16:38,380
on a podcast, for example.

441
00:16:38,700 --> 00:16:39,040
(laughing)

442
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:41,360
- You're piped like directly in,

443
00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:41,760
so.

444
00:16:41,780 --> 00:16:42,080
- Wish you'd

445
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:42,800
have crank it up

446
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:43,260
guys,

447
00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:44,040
for us.

448
00:16:44,820 --> 00:16:45,340
(laughing)

449
00:16:47,620 --> 00:16:50,040
Yeah, I feel like there's other applications too

450
00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:52,440
that it's not like, it's a benefit

451
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:55,820
to those of hard of hearing, but like, I don't know.

452
00:16:55,950 --> 00:16:58,960
I wonder if the isolation thing is really important

453
00:16:59,100 --> 00:17:02,200
in other scenarios or, I don't know.

454
00:17:02,340 --> 00:17:08,640
It just seems like there's a lot of other use cases and I'm curious what our listeners are going to come up with, you know

455
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:15,339
Yeah, like the bar scenario. I mean even dinner in our restaurant during like a

456
00:17:15,839 --> 00:17:21,819
Work event or any type of social gathering. There's like tons of ambient noise that's happening all the time

457
00:17:22,439 --> 00:17:27,380
And there's like a like a buzz that's always there in the background. You have to really pick out

458
00:17:27,900 --> 00:17:34,960
tonalities so feel like if that tech improved or became more accessible it benefit multiple venues

459
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:40,040
yeah actively canceling out just the TV at the bar or

460
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:41,260
Just the

461
00:17:41,260 --> 00:17:41,940
yeah,

462
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:45,580
you don't want man. I wish I could open an app and it would show me

463
00:17:45,660 --> 00:17:51,960
Here's the four different things that we're detecting around you that are the category of sound and which ones do you want to just turn?

464
00:17:51,980 --> 00:17:52,700
Off TV

465
00:17:52,700 --> 00:17:57,880
at the bar. You're on a plane crying, baby

466
00:17:57,880 --> 00:17:58,960
That would be incredible.

467
00:17:59,500 --> 00:17:59,660
Yeah.

468
00:17:59,980 --> 00:18:02,200
Or like a concert again.

469
00:18:02,220 --> 00:18:06,440
You want to listen to the band and not like the people--

470
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:08,340
or you want to enhance the audio, get clearer

471
00:18:08,340 --> 00:18:08,680
audio.

472
00:18:10,980 --> 00:18:11,380
And--

473
00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:14,100
But turn off the screaming drunk guy that's one row ahead of you.

474
00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:15,000
Yes.

475
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:15,360
Who's singing

476
00:18:15,360 --> 00:18:16,060
along with it.

477
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:16,560
Yeah.

478
00:18:16,980 --> 00:18:18,820
Well, if it's on

479
00:18:18,820 --> 00:18:20,480
the bone, you'll be able to turn off,

480
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:22,240
I think, as many voices, right?

481
00:18:22,460 --> 00:18:23,480
You'd be only--

482
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:24,640
well, I don't know, I guess.

483
00:18:25,020 --> 00:18:25,280
Oh, maybe

484
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:25,520
you--

485
00:18:25,660 --> 00:18:27,860
- Whatever your input is, process the input

486
00:18:27,980 --> 00:18:28,100
and

487
00:18:28,100 --> 00:18:29,460
determine

488
00:18:29,460 --> 00:18:30,000
your output.

489
00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:31,880
- But the TV's at a bar.

490
00:18:32,300 --> 00:18:34,160
That was, yeah, Leo.

491
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:37,880
All right, it's less weird, put something in your ear,

492
00:18:37,980 --> 00:18:41,640
but now I can listen to this, yeah, this TV, that's great.

493
00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:44,860
- I've used active noise canceling headphones

494
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:47,660
in one form or another for many years,

495
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:49,980
and it's still novel every time to turn on

496
00:18:50,060 --> 00:18:51,980
the noise canceling and have the (makes noise)

497
00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:53,300
sound where it just

498
00:18:53,300 --> 00:18:54,580
sort of turns off

499
00:18:54,580 --> 00:18:55,500
the--

500
00:18:55,500 --> 00:18:58,060
I didn't even realize there was an air conditioner running in this room, but

501
00:18:58,060 --> 00:18:59,480
yeah, that's way better.

502
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:00,680
Feels good.

503
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:04,840
Every pair of active noise cancelling headphones I've ever owned has a microphone on them

504
00:19:05,020 --> 00:19:09,300
because they have to, to, like, cancel out the wave of the sound that it's around.

505
00:19:10,340 --> 00:19:17,580
Just frickin' pipe that in but louder and boom, that is, that is ear enhancement. Dang.

506
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:23,420
Rebecca, you're saying there's devices that someone who can put, like, around their waist or something

507
00:19:23,420 --> 00:19:26,680
that is able to translate sounds into vibrations?

508
00:19:27,230 --> 00:19:28,380
Or like your wrist, you said?

509
00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:31,560
- So it gives like electromagnetic pulses,

510
00:19:32,170 --> 00:19:36,200
which that's all your brain is using to convert into sound,

511
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:37,260
'cause your brain doesn't see

512
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:38,540
and your brain doesn't actually hear.

513
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:41,000
Just takes in these electromagnetic waves.

514
00:19:41,120 --> 00:19:44,000
So basically, these devices, there's,

515
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:47,220
I think the smaller, or like for children,

516
00:19:47,980 --> 00:19:49,920
it's an actual chest band,

517
00:19:50,100 --> 00:19:51,960
and then for adults, there's like a wristwatch.

518
00:19:52,460 --> 00:19:58,360
And it takes a little bit for your brain to be able to kind of learn how to hear through the pulses.

519
00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:14,040
But basically it'll, I don't know how they tune it, but then they have you wear this for a couple of days and you're able to pick up like, um, certain words because of the way that your brain is starting to train on the vibration.

520
00:20:14,140 --> 00:20:14,960
That's amazing.

521
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:21,000
And I mean, there's major implications for sensory, like substitution or sensory expansion.

522
00:20:21,220 --> 00:20:25,100
like, think Google lens even, or,

523
00:20:25,500 --> 00:20:28,200
or what were the glasses that came up?

524
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:28,500
Yeah,

525
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:29,020
totally.

526
00:20:29,180 --> 00:20:32,720
Oh, like, oh, so I was at South by Southwest and there's this VR set.

527
00:20:33,220 --> 00:20:36,360
And the only thing it plays is like these K-pop dancers who are

528
00:20:36,540 --> 00:20:38,140
coming like really close to you.

529
00:20:38,260 --> 00:20:38,560
And they're,

530
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:39,600
you know, there's like

531
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:41,700
these dudes lined up with these goggles

532
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:43,340
and they're like right in your face.

533
00:20:43,340 --> 00:20:45,280
And I'm like, this is what we've used the

534
00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:46,000
technology for.

535
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:46,300
so we can

536
00:20:46,300 --> 00:20:48,140
create an entire experience

537
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:51,420
and put people elsewhere and this

538
00:20:51,420 --> 00:20:52,640
is what we chose to do.

539
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:53,660
(laughing)

540
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:57,080
I know, I know, don't get me wrong, I like K-pop.

541
00:20:57,679 --> 00:20:58,200
(laughing)

542
00:20:58,540 --> 00:21:01,020
We're so close in all these areas,

543
00:21:01,140 --> 00:21:04,820
we're so close to really revolutionizing some things

544
00:21:04,940 --> 00:21:07,960
for sensory expansion in a way that's helpful.

545
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:10,760
- Sensory expansion, can I,

546
00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:13,600
so I'm really interested in how dogs

547
00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:16,120
and smell an entire different world than humans.

548
00:21:16,740 --> 00:21:18,240
Not that I want to, but it's just like,

549
00:21:18,340 --> 00:21:19,240
they don't see as well.

550
00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:20,420
Like you can't do that.

551
00:21:20,420 --> 00:21:21,620
You can't, can you train,

552
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:24,500
like are there people trying to train people's noses

553
00:21:24,620 --> 00:21:26,640
to like, I don't know, pick up crazy stuff

554
00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:28,500
that maybe wouldn't be able to.

555
00:21:28,860 --> 00:21:29,980
It's just like the weirdest thing

556
00:21:29,980 --> 00:21:32,460
'cause like there's no technology out there for smell.

557
00:21:33,120 --> 00:21:36,140
And I always am like trying to figure out how like--

558
00:21:36,180 --> 00:21:37,380
- I've wondered that too actually.

559
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:38,100
- There's an entire

560
00:21:38,100 --> 00:21:40,180
world that you can't see,

561
00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:40,760
feel,

562
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:41,240
taste,

563
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:42,940
process, even with technology.

564
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:46,000
Like we have cameras, we have microphones,

565
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:48,860
we have, I'm sure, feeling technology,

566
00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:52,660
but you can't do smell yet, I think.

567
00:21:53,140 --> 00:21:55,940
- But I imagine it's just like if you could translate

568
00:21:56,120 --> 00:21:58,820
the what stimulates the olfactory nerve in your

569
00:21:58,820 --> 00:21:59,140
brain,

570
00:21:59,460 --> 00:21:59,600
right,

571
00:21:59,700 --> 00:22:01,180
like they could hack it.

572
00:22:01,180 --> 00:22:03,860
They could figure out to just saturate you

573
00:22:03,860 --> 00:22:05,580
with the most sumptuous smells

574
00:22:06,100 --> 00:22:09,300
based off of triggering some series of

575
00:22:09,300 --> 00:22:09,740
dots

576
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:11,620
in your olfactory system.

577
00:22:12,100 --> 00:22:14,840
send you some electrical pulses and boom, yeah.

578
00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:15,120
- And

579
00:22:15,120 --> 00:22:16,780
all of a sudden it activates a sudden,

580
00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:18,460
I mean, there's people like stroke victims

581
00:22:18,820 --> 00:22:19,940
who can speak other languages

582
00:22:20,340 --> 00:22:23,460
or all of a sudden have like cheese then associate,

583
00:22:23,700 --> 00:22:26,540
like the small cheese associates with like forest fires

584
00:22:26,620 --> 00:22:28,840
and things like that because the wires get crossed.

585
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:31,780
I feel like even technologies like infrared

586
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:33,900
or like night vision,

587
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:37,480
I feel like we're one step off of being able to see,

588
00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:41,580
like if someone was just sitting down in a seat,

589
00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:45,240
we can see like a heat print of where they were sitting

590
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:47,300
based off like having goggles or something

591
00:22:47,500 --> 00:22:50,480
that allows us to see like a thumbprint on a mic

592
00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:51,820
and see who last touched it

593
00:22:51,980 --> 00:22:53,640
because there's still a heat transfer on it.

594
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:56,240
Like I think sensory expansion is,

595
00:22:56,560 --> 00:23:00,080
like we're so close with VR and like night vision goggles

596
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:03,400
or stimulating the olfactory nerve.

597
00:23:03,540 --> 00:23:06,680
Like we're really close to this whole other world

598
00:23:06,780 --> 00:23:10,120
where like what if we could see the way that

599
00:23:10,120 --> 00:23:14,640
There's like animals that have such a larger spectrum of color

600
00:23:15,260 --> 00:23:16,360
that they're able to access.

601
00:23:16,940 --> 00:23:18,900
And that's got to be a center in the brain too, right?

602
00:23:19,120 --> 00:23:19,480
Oh, yeah.

603
00:23:20,100 --> 00:23:20,520
And you're right.

604
00:23:20,620 --> 00:23:22,500
Smell is one of the only senses we haven't really

605
00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:24,480
developed much augmented technology for.

606
00:23:24,900 --> 00:23:26,240
Could argue taste too, I guess.

607
00:23:26,340 --> 00:23:27,800
But it's kind of hand in hand with smell.

608
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:28,420
Yeah.

609
00:23:28,660 --> 00:23:29,240
That's interesting.

610
00:23:29,420 --> 00:23:32,300
I think just-- yeah, it's kind of like bio training.

611
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:34,520
It's like biohacking, but with training.

612
00:23:34,900 --> 00:23:38,180
Like, that is crazy.

613
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:40,260
Can you imagine like 20 years from now

614
00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:42,680
and your kids are like, yeah, I smelled that.

615
00:23:43,020 --> 00:23:43,220
What?

616
00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:44,940
- What did you smell?

617
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:46,700
Did you hear about that?

618
00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:47,820
There's a woman in the UK

619
00:23:47,820 --> 00:23:48,800
a couple of years ago

620
00:23:49,020 --> 00:23:50,200
who has some sort of,

621
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:53,680
what's the word I'm looking for?

622
00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:56,800
Genetic mutation that lets her smell Parkinson's

623
00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:57,500
and scientists

624
00:23:57,500 --> 00:23:58,620
are totally baffled by that.

625
00:23:59,000 --> 00:23:59,840
What is that all about?

626
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:01,360
Like once in a while, I

627
00:24:01,360 --> 00:24:01,800
guess a human

628
00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:02,380
comes along

629
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:06,399
that's inches closer toward some new unlocked realm

630
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:08,080
of smell that we've never had before.

631
00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:10,020
It's such a crazy mutation.

632
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:10,400
That's

633
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:10,560
awesome.

634
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:10,900
It just

635
00:24:10,900 --> 00:24:11,680
validated my idea.

636
00:24:11,940 --> 00:24:14,880
We like Rebecca, we got this, like it's going to

637
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:15,400
happen now.

638
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:15,920
We just got to,

639
00:24:16,430 --> 00:24:18,200
we just got to start having people smell

640
00:24:18,500 --> 00:24:19,920
diseases and shocking them.

641
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:20,820
And that's it, right?

642
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:22,260
Just a little bio shock.

643
00:24:22,500 --> 00:24:26,020
Like Scott, you got a taser.

644
00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:27,040
Anybody got a taser?

645
00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:29,800
Why me?

646
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:31,280
You're going to be the, no, not you.

647
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:34,520
I just need to tase you until you can smell new smells.

648
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:35,460
Oh my God.

649
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:37,280
I'm not tasing you,

650
00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:38,400
I need the taser.

651
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:40,040
I need a research

652
00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:43,820
grant so I can just tase students and see if they smell new

653
00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:44,160
smells.

654
00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:45,600
You need the real scientist.

655
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:47,440
Nah, we got this.

656
00:24:52,860 --> 00:24:54,460
Close friend to all three of ours.

657
00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:58,200
We had our good friend Carl on who that episode definitely went off the rails a

658
00:24:58,240 --> 00:24:58,560
little bit.

659
00:24:59,020 --> 00:25:03,120
We had Carl pitch to us the anti-squirrel artillery cannon.

660
00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:06,860
All right, Carl, what do you have for us this week?

661
00:25:07,140 --> 00:25:07,360
All

662
00:25:07,360 --> 00:25:07,520
right.

663
00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:11,140
So not this past summer, but the previous summer, my wife and I

664
00:25:11,360 --> 00:25:13,620
decided to plant an orchard.

665
00:25:14,420 --> 00:25:18,020
So we bought two apple trees and two peach trees.

666
00:25:18,500 --> 00:25:21,960
The apple trees not doing so hot, but they're still alive.

667
00:25:22,060 --> 00:25:22,700
They're still green.

668
00:25:22,780 --> 00:25:26,420
One died, but we replaced it and it's kind of limping along, but

669
00:25:26,500 --> 00:25:29,080
the peach trees have been just booming.

670
00:25:29,620 --> 00:25:33,340
So the first year we put the peach trees in, we got a whole bunch of

671
00:25:33,220 --> 00:25:35,120
peaches growing on them, looked great.

672
00:25:35,180 --> 00:25:39,660
And then within like middle of August, within like one day, all the peaches

673
00:25:39,700 --> 00:25:42,800
were gone on both trees the first year.

674
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:45,640
And it was like, we couldn't figure out where'd all these peaches go.

675
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:49,380
So then this year we had like a bumper crop.

676
00:25:49,460 --> 00:25:51,880
Like I'm talking between the two, three, two trees.

677
00:25:51,980 --> 00:25:54,940
We had like 300 peaches gone.

678
00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:55,600
What?

679
00:25:55,940 --> 00:26:00,400
Two weeks, August, like one day they were just gone off the trees.

680
00:26:00,700 --> 00:26:03,120
So there's some type of animal that's eaten the peaches,

681
00:26:03,190 --> 00:26:06,560
and we're pretty sure it's like a squirrel or a bird or who knows what.

682
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:08,660
So that's been very frustrating.

683
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:11,800
So we're like, let's let's do some bird nests

684
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:16,780
and I or some like bird nets, and I bought like an eagle and I bought an owl

685
00:26:17,380 --> 00:26:18,680
and I'm like getting irritated

686
00:26:18,850 --> 00:26:21,380
and I'm trying to figure out what to do with my with my garden.

687
00:26:21,860 --> 00:26:25,360
Additionally, the apple trees aren't getting the right type of water

688
00:26:25,580 --> 00:26:28,260
or enough watering or the right water timing.

689
00:26:28,590 --> 00:26:29,900
So we've had this water issue.

690
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:35,740
So I was thinking that I like artillery canisters.

691
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:39,120
Like those things are awesome.

692
00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:41,320
Like they're sweet.

693
00:26:41,380 --> 00:26:44,020
They shoot things like this is awesome.

694
00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:50,940
So I thought, what could I combine to take care of my watering issue and

695
00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:53,500
my animal issue at the same time?

696
00:26:54,180 --> 00:27:00,600
And so I thought, what if I made a multi-axis laminar flow

697
00:27:01,180 --> 00:27:06,220
water cannon that could shoot water in a pattern

698
00:27:06,780 --> 00:27:08,040
wherever I needed it?

699
00:27:08,360 --> 00:27:11,380
And I'd be able to set up auxiliary cameras

700
00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:16,160
around my garden that when it sensed movement of a squirrel,

701
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:21,919
it would call in an artillery strike from my automated water

702
00:27:21,900 --> 00:27:22,320
cannon

703
00:27:23,460 --> 00:27:25,180
to blast the squirrel

704
00:27:26,100 --> 00:27:31,780
And then it would also like during the day when it's just sitting there. It's a oh, yeah

705
00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:38,540
We need to we need to distribute like four and a half gallons to this tree area and four and a half gallons to this

706
00:27:38,740 --> 00:27:41,640
Tree, and so it would sit there and just you know rapid-fire

707
00:27:43,500 --> 00:27:43,740
You know

708
00:27:43,740 --> 00:27:44,360
right

709
00:27:45,180 --> 00:27:50,760
Carpet bomb this tree and then that tree and then it would carpet bomb my corn rows

710
00:27:51,220 --> 00:27:56,480
And then it would carpet bomb my raspberry bush and my blueberry bush and in those specific areas

711
00:27:56,480 --> 00:28:01,820
So I'm not wasting all that water on grass that no one cares about I'm putting it on the plant where I need it

712
00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:03,300
But then also

713
00:28:03,820 --> 00:28:09,200
Pestering the animals that come not killing them not harming them. Just anytime an animal shows up

714
00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:14,380
I'm just calling in an artillery strike to just barrage that sucker with water

715
00:28:14,820 --> 00:28:20,100
And I'm thinking that, you know, a laminar flow cannon

716
00:28:20,900 --> 00:28:24,040
that shoots water at high pressure over a long distance

717
00:28:24,460 --> 00:28:26,220
might even be able to be like set up

718
00:28:26,220 --> 00:28:29,740
in the middle of my backyard and water my entire lawn.

719
00:28:30,110 --> 00:28:33,020
So it sits there and just runs, you know, 24/7

720
00:28:33,260 --> 00:28:35,600
or eight hours a day or whatever it is.

721
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:39,200
But it's also on guard for my garden.

722
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:40,020
- This rules.

723
00:28:40,540 --> 00:28:41,360
- Dogs are gonna love this.

724
00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:42,980
- PETA's gonna love this.

725
00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:44,680
I'm not hurting the animals.

726
00:28:45,860 --> 00:28:46,320
That's right.

727
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:47,320
You're watering them.

728
00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:51,200
So growing up, we had hostas all along our house,

729
00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:54,740
like a huge row of them, unfathomable amount of hostas.

730
00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:58,820
And without fail, deer would come in in the season and eat them.

731
00:28:58,820 --> 00:29:01,840
And my dad tried sound devices.

732
00:29:02,100 --> 00:29:06,080
My dad tried all kinds of stuff until finally we had a motion

733
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:08,360
detecting sprinkler. Whoa.

734
00:29:08,500 --> 00:29:11,220
And it was an instant fix.

735
00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:14,240
Squirrels would get in or a deer, excuse me, would get near it.

736
00:29:15,150 --> 00:29:16,980
It would just tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick,

737
00:29:17,540 --> 00:29:20,420
and then be done and they would go anywhere near it.

738
00:29:20,820 --> 00:29:21,860
Not even afraid.

739
00:29:22,100 --> 00:29:23,600
They were just afraid of the sound and the movement,

740
00:29:23,670 --> 00:29:25,060
not even like getting blasted.

741
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:28,320
Maybe they got it a little bit or something, but there were perfect

742
00:29:28,660 --> 00:29:32,840
circles of protection and right outside the range

743
00:29:33,180 --> 00:29:36,040
of where this thing would trigger, they would be all eaten. Right.

744
00:29:36,780 --> 00:29:37,500
Well, it's

745
00:29:37,500 --> 00:29:39,260
exactly what you're talking about, but not automated.

746
00:29:39,380 --> 00:29:39,800
I love

747
00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:43,100
this is I can tell you from experience that it would work beautifully.

748
00:29:43,770 --> 00:29:51,800
I just want to feed 10,000 pictures of a of squirrels and rabbits into a AI bot and have it a camera system with a.

749
00:29:52,900 --> 00:29:57,960
Triple axis be able to recognize them and pinpoint the exact XYZ of this guy

750
00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:03,900
with a camera with a camera so you can watch the fun of course record it and make a highlight reel.

751
00:30:04,340 --> 00:30:04,740
Nice.

752
00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:08,800
Maybe you have like one camera mounted on the artillery piece.

753
00:30:08,900 --> 00:30:10,480
That's like zone control.

754
00:30:10,820 --> 00:30:13,780
And like, cause you're going to have the hose run to this thing.

755
00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:15,720
You're going to have probably a high pressure pump.

756
00:30:15,780 --> 00:30:17,400
You're probably going to have a little bit of power.

757
00:30:17,780 --> 00:30:21,100
So it's, it's going to be a pretty fixed unit in my brain.

758
00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:24,980
You know, you might need a camera in a different position to like look

759
00:30:25,100 --> 00:30:28,580
from a different angle that then also coordinates and triangulate.

760
00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:32,080
So then you'd need some calibrating shots to call in like, okay, we're

761
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:33,880
We're gonna coordinate where this is

762
00:30:34,060 --> 00:30:35,880
and then it can fire for effect.

763
00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:39,260
Bring a water artillery round in

764
00:30:39,380 --> 00:30:40,660
and land it right where they need it.

765
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:42,260
- Be the kids' summer fun.

766
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:43,000
- Yeah.

767
00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:44,880
- Put it on fun sprinkler

768
00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:45,100
mode

769
00:30:45,210 --> 00:30:45,600
and it's

770
00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:46,140
like raining

771
00:30:46,140 --> 00:30:47,560
in little spots and stuff.

772
00:30:47,740 --> 00:30:48,960
You make games out of it.

773
00:30:49,220 --> 00:30:50,780
- Teach it to target small children.

774
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:51,680
This'll be perfect.

775
00:30:52,140 --> 00:30:53,440
- That would be so fun.

776
00:30:53,460 --> 00:30:53,760
- This would

777
00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:55,460
actually be a lot of fun growing up.

778
00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:58,280
- I think that's the bigger market, Carl.

779
00:30:59,140 --> 00:31:00,240
Screw all that

780
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:00,560
stuff.

781
00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:04,340
You turn this into like, this is an adult.

782
00:31:04,660 --> 00:31:05,820
- Automated super soaker

783
00:31:05,820 --> 00:31:06,140
turret.

784
00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:06,400
- Right.

785
00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:08,500
- Oh, it could have all the modes.

786
00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:10,100
It could have a child play mode

787
00:31:10,180 --> 00:31:11,840
where it goes out and just goes crazy.

788
00:31:12,010 --> 00:31:14,340
It could have regular sprinkler mode

789
00:31:14,420 --> 00:31:16,040
where it runs around and just does the,

790
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:20,560
you know, and sprays in a big giant arc on the grass.

791
00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:23,440
Or it could have, you know, prestrigion strike mode.

792
00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:25,420
Don't you dare eat my rose bushes.

793
00:31:26,100 --> 00:31:26,540
(laughing)

794
00:31:28,180 --> 00:31:31,100
- Or a joystick mode that you're manually controlling

795
00:31:31,100 --> 00:31:37,120
Oh, absolutely. You could have like a video game controller and some POV goggles

796
00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:37,660
with

797
00:31:37,660 --> 00:31:39,080
a targeting patch on it

798
00:31:39,420 --> 00:31:44,560
And you could sit there and intercept it and shoot the squirrels if you wanted to with water,

799
00:31:44,690 --> 00:31:45,080
of course

800
00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:45,340
I'm

801
00:31:45,340 --> 00:31:46,440
only talking about

802
00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:46,860
water

803
00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:49,040
You know, it

804
00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:50,100
would be so much fun

805
00:31:50,220 --> 00:31:57,800
and then if if a precision strike is called in you could have it automatically save the clips and then

806
00:31:58,180 --> 00:32:04,080
Automatically snip the video so that you have the replay reel so that you can enjoy it and upload it to YouTube.

807
00:32:04,340 --> 00:32:04,560
Yes

808
00:32:04,860 --> 00:32:09,800
Yes, yes, dude. Super soaker is gonna if you like turn this into super soaker toy

809
00:32:10,759 --> 00:32:11,880
boom like

810
00:32:12,820 --> 00:32:16,760
Do the do the laminar flow thing right for you know the other market

811
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:21,020
But you sell this kind of this game concept as super soaker

812
00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:23,600
Boom, you got a market.

813
00:32:24,540 --> 00:32:27,080
I'm not picturing like a target or something on it

814
00:32:26,900 --> 00:32:32,280
Kids got to sneak up on this turret and try to hit the target with their own water in order to shut it down or

815
00:32:32,460 --> 00:32:35,340
Something long enough for them to I don't know capture the flag or whatnot

816
00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:35,940
You just got to get

817
00:32:35,940 --> 00:32:39,180
past this thing a capture the flag mode on it would be pretty sweet

818
00:32:39,780 --> 00:32:44,280
It's like spy mode right like I'm a secret agent trying to capture the flag

819
00:32:44,740 --> 00:32:50,480
There's nothing crazy about this too. Like all the technology for this is there. It's just putting it together

820
00:32:50,980 --> 00:32:52,600
That's why I picked that as my idea.

821
00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:55,100
Like what's the MIT the MVP, right?

822
00:32:55,100 --> 00:32:58,920
So like I can't is it hard to do these like giant ass pumps?

823
00:32:58,980 --> 00:33:02,460
Do you feel like you have a big pump to like shoot water that hard and fast?

824
00:33:03,660 --> 00:33:04,620
That's a great question.

825
00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:08,980
How hard is it to lob a artillery amount of water across the yard?

826
00:33:09,020 --> 00:33:09,620
It's pretty heavy.

827
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:14,360
Well, I looked into that, and the trick is really to get the laminar flow

828
00:33:14,500 --> 00:33:17,660
because then you can send a packet, but you're limited by the surface

829
00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:20,420
tension of the water because as the velocity goes up

830
00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:24,980
and you get this packet of water going, if it's bigger than a regular raindrop,

831
00:33:24,980 --> 00:33:28,360
which rain droplets are the size rain droplets are

832
00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:31,620
because of some actual physics constraints.

833
00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:33,500
And so what will happen is,

834
00:33:33,780 --> 00:33:36,080
if you send something say the size of your thumb,

835
00:33:36,540 --> 00:33:39,180
it will dissipate into at a certain velocity

836
00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:41,180
and with not enough surface tension,

837
00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:44,640
it will separate and disintegrate into,

838
00:33:45,060 --> 00:33:46,720
you know, the corresponding drops

839
00:33:46,980 --> 00:33:48,380
that would be a droplet size.

840
00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:52,180
And so then your targeting accuracy starts to go down

841
00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:54,000
and your velocity starts to go down

842
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:57,920
because you have more drag and then you have a larger amount of droplets that

843
00:33:57,960 --> 00:34:01,020
are going to dissipate from your normal grouping.

844
00:34:01,310 --> 00:34:03,140
And so that's kind of an important...

845
00:34:03,140 --> 00:34:03,840
So it's a shotgun.

846
00:34:04,100 --> 00:34:04,240
Yeah.

847
00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:05,980
So then it ends up being a shotgun.

848
00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:11,520
Could we have some variation of this that self-fills biodegradable water

849
00:34:11,720 --> 00:34:14,540
balloons and just lobs them across the yard.

850
00:34:14,679 --> 00:34:15,840
You won't have to deal with that.

851
00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:19,179
And he's just, there is your artillery strike is water balloons coming

852
00:34:19,300 --> 00:34:20,879
from seemingly nowhere from the sky.

853
00:34:20,899 --> 00:34:21,580
A trebuchet.

854
00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:24,159
Essentially a automated trebuchet.

855
00:34:24,620 --> 00:34:25,300
Oh, that's great.

856
00:34:25,300 --> 00:34:25,600
I just

857
00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:26,260
want to build that.

858
00:34:26,720 --> 00:34:27,080
Biodegradable.

859
00:34:27,620 --> 00:34:27,860
Yeah.

860
00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:28,500
You're right though.

861
00:34:28,580 --> 00:34:29,200
It's all physics.

862
00:34:29,290 --> 00:34:31,440
If you know the exact weight of the projectile.

863
00:34:31,620 --> 00:34:33,480
What if you didn't care so much about precision

864
00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:34,620
accuracy and you did the

865
00:34:34,820 --> 00:34:38,639
trebuchet, but just, it's like a five gallon buckets worth of water that gets lobbed.

866
00:34:38,720 --> 00:34:39,360
Would you get the,

867
00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:41,120
like enough of a spray,

868
00:34:41,330 --> 00:34:41,600
you know?

869
00:34:42,060 --> 00:34:44,280
Well, you don't want to knock the peaches off the tree.

870
00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:44,940
Oh,

871
00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:45,139
right.

872
00:34:46,500 --> 00:34:46,860
That's true.

873
00:34:47,340 --> 00:34:47,659
You know,

874
00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:50,320
that was, that's the original goal here.

875
00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:52,280
or snap a bird's neck.

876
00:34:52,899 --> 00:34:54,540
You can use it to harvest the peaches.

877
00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:55,200
It'll be great.

878
00:34:55,300 --> 00:34:55,399
What

879
00:34:55,399 --> 00:34:56,179
about the angle?

880
00:34:56,679 --> 00:34:58,180
What if you just had a high arc?

881
00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:00,840
Like literally create rain on your lawn though.

882
00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:05,040
What if you did the five-gallon bucket, but you lob it so high in the air,

883
00:35:05,780 --> 00:35:10,880
the spray just covers the whole lawn, bucket after bucket after bucket.

884
00:35:11,300 --> 00:35:12,680
I don't know how long that's going to take, but

885
00:35:12,900 --> 00:35:13,000
The

886
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:14,920
laminar flow thing is great. Yes.

887
00:35:15,300 --> 00:35:15,480
I don't

888
00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:15,920
know. I like that

889
00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:16,880
idea. I like making

890
00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:19,020
rain on my lawn through one trebuchet.

891
00:35:19,300 --> 00:35:23,220
I've never imagined laminar flow that has a brief on off.

892
00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:27,120
Like the only time I've ever seen laminar flow is when it looks like a solid

893
00:35:27,220 --> 00:35:30,620
biller because it's constant, but I've never seen intermittent laminar flow.

894
00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:33,560
Well, I guess there's like jumping fountains that sometimes look kind of cool

895
00:35:33,660 --> 00:35:33,720
where

896
00:35:33,720 --> 00:35:35,260
they've got the splash pad.

897
00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:35,680
Yeah.

898
00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:38,980
They're always a little like disturbed, though.

899
00:35:39,020 --> 00:35:40,640
I've, you know, those really precise

900
00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:42,260
videos of

901
00:35:42,260 --> 00:35:43,520
jumping fountains that are like

902
00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:48,580
the splash pads where they're, you know, like intermittently on off, on off, on

903
00:35:48,580 --> 00:35:51,880
You could get something really cool going there when you scale it up. That

904
00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:52,420
would be cool

905
00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:57,120
That sounds like a fun and very hard to pull off hardware project

906
00:35:59,340 --> 00:36:00,260
Very cool.

907
00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:06,820
Yeah, you could sell add-ons like additional barrels. You could do like I have a quad barrel

908
00:36:09,619 --> 00:36:10,140
Sprinkler

909
00:36:12,720 --> 00:36:18,560
It would be sweet if it was a quad barrel and then and then the barrels kind of came back and forth like one of

910
00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:20,880
uh, bofors that they had in World War II.

911
00:36:21,320 --> 00:36:22,500
Anti-aircraft guns.

912
00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:23,440
Yeah, there you go.

913
00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:24,800
I was

914
00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:28,920
picturing four barrels, but they're all along the roof in different spots, so

915
00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:31,680
you have this sort of reigning terror of

916
00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:32,760
different angles and

917
00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:34,800
stuff of various blobs of water

918
00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:36,960
from all sides, overwhelming

919
00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:37,460
the enemy.

920
00:36:38,720 --> 00:36:39,680
Enemy squirrels.

921
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:41,740
Maybe that's how you make the valves work.

922
00:36:41,940 --> 00:36:46,420
You move the barrels and slide them in and out, so it's like the bofors, but the sliding

923
00:36:46,420 --> 00:36:50,220
in and out is where it takes a new slug of water and emits

924
00:36:50,220 --> 00:36:51,040
it into the barrel.

925
00:36:52,900 --> 00:36:58,580
A slug of water's excellence. Shoot a water slug with a compressed air

926
00:36:58,740 --> 00:37:01,580
back up and just *pfff pfff pfff*

927
00:37:01,860 --> 00:37:03,780
All day, all night *psh

928
00:37:03,780 --> 00:37:05,800
psh psh psh*

929
00:37:07,340 --> 00:37:13,380
Turn off the artillery, honey. It's hard to do that quiet, I bet.

930
00:37:13,820 --> 00:37:15,200
-You're a compressor running all night.

931
00:37:15,390 --> 00:37:15,520
-Yes.

932
00:37:16,760 --> 00:37:17,280
[laughter]

933
00:37:17,900 --> 00:37:18,420
-It's

934
00:37:18,420 --> 00:37:21,480
just nom in the backyard for these poor squirrels.

935
00:37:21,540 --> 00:37:24,500
-You could design it like a minigun, like a Gatling gun,

936
00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:25,080
like one of the--

937
00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:25,600
-Oh my God.

938
00:37:26,730 --> 00:37:26,860
[laughter]

939
00:37:26,860 --> 00:37:27,380
-Spins?

940
00:37:28,140 --> 00:37:28,400
-Yes.

941
00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:28,540
-Oh,

942
00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:28,860
sure.

943
00:37:29,660 --> 00:37:30,120
[laughter]

944
00:37:31,440 --> 00:37:34,620
-Okay, why is it super soaker all over this stuff?

945
00:37:34,890 --> 00:37:39,280
We need adult water guns or water turret systems.

946
00:37:39,740 --> 00:37:40,100
This is

947
00:37:40,100 --> 00:37:40,620
our

948
00:37:40,620 --> 00:37:41,780
generation growing up.

949
00:37:41,780 --> 00:37:44,300
We need like this version in our lives.

950
00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:46,980
- My roommate in college modified a Nerf gun

951
00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:50,460
to where it was like really painful levels of speed.

952
00:37:50,860 --> 00:37:51,780
It would leave welts.

953
00:37:52,320 --> 00:37:54,400
They needed that scene, but for Super Soaker.

954
00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:55,740
That probably exists, right?

955
00:37:55,870 --> 00:37:56,180
Where you have

956
00:37:56,180 --> 00:37:57,080
like stainless steel

957
00:37:57,080 --> 00:37:57,600
canisters

958
00:37:57,780 --> 00:37:58,760
instead of plastic shit.

959
00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:01,220
- Have you seen the Phalanx gun

960
00:38:01,300 --> 00:38:03,300
that they put on the US warships

961
00:38:03,540 --> 00:38:05,320
that intercept missiles that are inbound

962
00:38:05,500 --> 00:38:06,900
towards a US warship?

963
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:07,540
- Yeah.

964
00:38:07,900 --> 00:38:10,420
Those are 75 rounds a second something

965
00:38:10,420 --> 00:38:14,060
like that with with water. That's what I want in my backyard

966
00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:15,900
for the squirrels

967
00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:17,580
That sounds fun

968
00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:22,480
identify target aim targeting solution and then just

969
00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:24,540
and

970
00:38:24,820 --> 00:38:25,420
squirrels

971
00:38:26,240 --> 00:38:27,180
Not eating my peaches

972
00:38:29,720 --> 00:38:30,300
Incredible

973
00:38:35,460 --> 00:38:42,560
Most recently in episode 36, we had our good friend Jessica on and Jessica pitched us uber for home bakers

974
00:38:44,580 --> 00:38:46,140
All right, we save the best for last

975
00:38:46,700 --> 00:38:49,940
Jess what do you got for us? All right. All right. Hold

976
00:38:49,940 --> 00:38:52,240
on to your seats guys. Here we go. So

977
00:38:53,260 --> 00:38:57,580
Well, I feel like it's actually similar to something that Russell said so I

978
00:38:58,640 --> 00:39:03,060
Love making sourdough, right? You'll not everyone knows that

979
00:39:03,060 --> 00:39:03,220
but

980
00:39:03,220 --> 00:39:05,440
you guys know that I love making sourdough

981
00:39:05,440 --> 00:39:07,100
making sourdough everything.

982
00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:10,500
And I also love eating it,

983
00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:14,120
but I don't want to own a micro bakery.

984
00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:16,900
There's way too many startup costs for that, right?

985
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:19,220
But I love selling it to like friends or neighbors

986
00:39:19,250 --> 00:39:20,280
or people in my town.

987
00:39:20,570 --> 00:39:22,620
And I really feel like there's a lot of people like that.

988
00:39:22,680 --> 00:39:27,480
Like, hey, I would make rolls or pasta or bagels

989
00:39:27,530 --> 00:39:30,620
or anything for you like occasionally, but not,

990
00:39:31,020 --> 00:39:35,420
I don't wanna get branding and be a big baker

991
00:39:35,420 --> 00:39:38,640
thing, but I have this skill and I'm willing to share it with people.

992
00:39:38,680 --> 00:39:39,420
And so you kind of,

993
00:39:39,420 --> 00:39:43,940
you have this opportunity for people to order things,

994
00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:49,620
to order sourdough or micro bakery type things from people like

995
00:39:49,720 --> 00:39:52,960
me. And it's like an order comes up and I can like the standby line.

996
00:39:53,060 --> 00:39:56,840
I can choose to take it like, yeah, I'm free today. I could make that. Or sure.

997
00:39:56,960 --> 00:40:00,480
I could have five loaves by Friday, but like, I don't want to do,

998
00:40:00,700 --> 00:40:04,240
I don't want to be a baker and have people just demand all my time and be like,

999
00:40:04,620 --> 00:40:05,440
Yeah, I want 20 loaves.

1000
00:40:05,470 --> 00:40:07,340
Yeah, I want five loaves today, tomorrow, the next day.

1001
00:40:07,620 --> 00:40:08,760
I can't do that every day of my life.

1002
00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:12,540
But I would really love to be able to sell it sometimes

1003
00:40:13,060 --> 00:40:14,580
to just be able to make some money,

1004
00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:15,800
but not have it be my job.

1005
00:40:16,260 --> 00:40:18,760
It's like Uber, but I'm, Uber eats,

1006
00:40:18,940 --> 00:40:20,260
but I'm like, other way around.

1007
00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:22,400
It's like, sure, I will claim that food order

1008
00:40:22,480 --> 00:40:23,300
and I will make it

1009
00:40:23,300 --> 00:40:23,820
and fulfill it.

1010
00:40:24,060 --> 00:40:25,500
- Those are, what's it called?

1011
00:40:25,840 --> 00:40:27,260
Cottage food laws, right?

1012
00:40:27,700 --> 00:40:27,760
Where

1013
00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:29,080
like, I can

1014
00:40:29,080 --> 00:40:30,120
sell baked goods

1015
00:40:30,180 --> 00:40:31,380
and I don't need a full

1016
00:40:31,380 --> 00:40:31,640
FDA approval.

1017
00:40:31,640 --> 00:40:31,900
- From my

1018
00:40:31,900 --> 00:40:32,260
home.

1019
00:40:32,700 --> 00:40:33,460
- Yes, from my home.

1020
00:40:33,600 --> 00:40:34,320
but you're combining

1021
00:40:34,320 --> 00:40:36,280
that with the open source,

1022
00:40:36,480 --> 00:40:39,520
or Leo, what are those, 3D print groups

1023
00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:41,900
where all these people have a 3D printer

1024
00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:45,180
and anyone can select jobs from this large site.

1025
00:40:45,240 --> 00:40:45,920
- It's a gig economy.

1026
00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:46,200
- And just

1027
00:40:46,200 --> 00:40:46,720
print at home.

1028
00:40:47,160 --> 00:40:47,920
Gig economy, thank you.

1029
00:40:48,820 --> 00:40:50,420
- 'Cause so many of us sourdough bakers

1030
00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:52,300
are already making stuff all the time.

1031
00:40:52,640 --> 00:40:53,900
I make stuff to feed my family.

1032
00:40:54,300 --> 00:40:56,560
It'd be really easy to make an extra loaf

1033
00:40:56,660 --> 00:40:57,500
when I'm making a loaf.

1034
00:40:58,160 --> 00:40:58,580
But if

1035
00:40:58,580 --> 00:40:59,240
I'm not making it,

1036
00:40:59,260 --> 00:41:01,220
I don't wanna really make something for somebody else.

1037
00:41:01,360 --> 00:41:03,120
But if there's an order comes up,

1038
00:41:03,200 --> 00:41:04,640
It's like, oh sure, I'll make that.

1039
00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:06,460
I'll make that tomorrow, whatever day.

1040
00:41:06,740 --> 00:41:07,420
Bagels, sure.

1041
00:41:07,880 --> 00:41:10,360
I feel like making an extra 10 bucks, extra 20 bucks.

1042
00:41:10,940 --> 00:41:11,080
So.

1043
00:41:11,540 --> 00:41:12,240
- That's great.

1044
00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:12,500
- Yeah.

1045
00:41:12,880 --> 00:41:13,620
- Whoa, okay.

1046
00:41:13,800 --> 00:41:15,880
So this is like a ticketing system of like,

1047
00:41:16,190 --> 00:41:19,500
I want a dozen bagels, some homemade bagels, right?

1048
00:41:20,300 --> 00:41:20,920
Let's go.

1049
00:41:21,160 --> 00:41:22,200
- And see who around there. - Right?

1050
00:41:22,360 --> 00:41:22,680
And then

1051
00:41:22,680 --> 00:41:25,340
you wouldn't have to find a local baker

1052
00:41:25,980 --> 00:41:28,160
or bakery or friend to make them for you.

1053
00:41:28,220 --> 00:41:29,760
You could just get on your phone and be like,

1054
00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:30,880
I want bagels.

1055
00:41:31,160 --> 00:41:32,060
and then it'll be like,

1056
00:41:32,660 --> 00:41:34,360
Jessica Zoe will be fulfilling your order.

1057
00:41:34,780 --> 00:41:36,400
Like, you know, sourdough takes a while.

1058
00:41:36,480 --> 00:41:37,020
So it'd be like tomorrow.

1059
00:41:37,180 --> 00:41:37,800
- Pick 'em up here.

1060
00:41:37,920 --> 00:41:38,140
- Sourdough

1061
00:41:38,140 --> 00:41:39,160
can't be instant, unfortunately.

1062
00:41:39,440 --> 00:41:42,420
But, you know, that's the idea.

1063
00:41:42,460 --> 00:41:43,220
- It's part of the rules.

1064
00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:45,060
It's part of the fun, I think, too.

1065
00:41:45,500 --> 00:41:46,520
It's the trade-off.

1066
00:41:47,280 --> 00:41:50,540
- Would this marketplace be assisted or hindered

1067
00:41:50,700 --> 00:41:53,280
by a rating system of the bakers and stuff?

1068
00:41:53,340 --> 00:41:55,500
Like, oh man, I got Diane again.

1069
00:41:55,760 --> 00:41:56,600
Oh, she's awful.

1070
00:41:57,120 --> 00:41:58,860
- You know, I was wondering that,

1071
00:41:58,960 --> 00:42:00,680
because obviously when it's homemade,

1072
00:42:01,380 --> 00:42:01,720
it's like, do

1073
00:42:01,720 --> 00:42:02,580
you get to select,

1074
00:42:02,860 --> 00:42:05,420
like I only wanna pick from these five people,

1075
00:42:05,600 --> 00:42:05,960
like are there

1076
00:42:05,960 --> 00:42:07,440
a list of

1077
00:42:07,440 --> 00:42:07,760
bakers?

1078
00:42:07,940 --> 00:42:12,100
And you can start making your own baker wishlist

1079
00:42:12,100 --> 00:42:15,080
and be like, only if these five people say yes.

1080
00:42:15,360 --> 00:42:17,640
- When you go to post a thing on Facebook Marketplace,

1081
00:42:17,720 --> 00:42:18,820
there's a checkbox that says,

1082
00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:20,740
don't show this to my friends and family.

1083
00:42:20,860 --> 00:42:22,400
So you almost need like, okay,

1084
00:42:22,660 --> 00:42:24,500
did you like that meal that you just had?

1085
00:42:24,680 --> 00:42:25,220
Okay, don't ever

1086
00:42:25,220 --> 00:42:25,480
show

1087
00:42:25,480 --> 00:42:27,400
my tickets to that person ever again.

1088
00:42:27,560 --> 00:42:28,120
- There you go.

1089
00:42:28,579 --> 00:42:28,940
(laughing)

1090
00:42:29,040 --> 00:42:29,420
Yup.

1091
00:42:29,920 --> 00:42:32,080
Or like, you also need a way to make sure

1092
00:42:32,160 --> 00:42:33,500
that people's kitchens are like,

1093
00:42:33,900 --> 00:42:35,300
you know, it's like, I don't want someone baking

1094
00:42:35,380 --> 00:42:36,880
that has cats or something.

1095
00:42:36,880 --> 00:42:37,200
- Oh yeah.

1096
00:42:37,220 --> 00:42:37,460
- I

1097
00:42:37,460 --> 00:42:37,880
don't

1098
00:42:37,880 --> 00:42:38,520
want--

1099
00:42:38,540 --> 00:42:41,940
- And a peanut oil house or whatever.

1100
00:42:41,960 --> 00:42:42,140
- Right,

1101
00:42:42,400 --> 00:42:43,560
allergy stuff

1102
00:42:43,560 --> 00:42:44,260
or yeah.

1103
00:42:44,540 --> 00:42:45,900
So, you know, it's like,

1104
00:42:46,240 --> 00:42:47,960
then I can have all these like little things,

1105
00:42:48,060 --> 00:42:49,660
these little stars on my profile like,

1106
00:42:50,160 --> 00:42:52,380
peanut free, this free, dairy free, whatever.

1107
00:42:52,590 --> 00:42:52,940
I don't know.

1108
00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:53,620
- Totally.

1109
00:42:53,960 --> 00:42:55,040
- That would be so cool.

1110
00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:59,120
'Cause I feel like people that want to eat sourdough

1111
00:42:59,240 --> 00:43:01,280
or eat something that's like healthy or homemade,

1112
00:43:01,920 --> 00:43:05,100
to go to a bakery is, well, it is really expensive,

1113
00:43:05,560 --> 00:43:08,060
but also sometimes they don't have the variety

1114
00:43:08,160 --> 00:43:08,900
that you're hoping for,

1115
00:43:09,370 --> 00:43:10,580
or you just don't have one in your town.

1116
00:43:10,700 --> 00:43:11,600
Like, I don't even know where,

1117
00:43:11,940 --> 00:43:14,100
most towns probably don't have a sourdough bakery.

1118
00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:14,920
- Right.

1119
00:43:15,540 --> 00:43:16,740
- It's made with love too.

1120
00:43:17,200 --> 00:43:17,540
That's the

1121
00:43:17,540 --> 00:43:17,920
difference.

1122
00:43:18,400 --> 00:43:19,220
- Only if you get one of those.

1123
00:43:19,220 --> 00:43:19,440
- That's the

1124
00:43:19,440 --> 00:43:19,620
app.

1125
00:43:19,780 --> 00:43:21,780
It's made with love, right?

1126
00:43:21,840 --> 00:43:23,000
Added ingredient, right?

1127
00:43:23,420 --> 00:43:23,860
The secret

1128
00:43:23,860 --> 00:43:24,300
ingredient.

1129
00:43:24,620 --> 00:43:25,740
And that's it, that's why.

1130
00:43:26,140 --> 00:43:28,440
- Your order will be fulfilled by Taco Bell.

1131
00:43:28,540 --> 00:43:28,820
What?

1132
00:43:29,300 --> 00:43:31,640
Aw, you got the corporations on your app.

1133
00:43:32,120 --> 00:43:33,980
- All right, so here's what I don't know.

1134
00:43:34,400 --> 00:43:37,460
So does someone get to just put up in the app,

1135
00:43:37,840 --> 00:43:41,540
like, I would like blueberry sourdough scone,

1136
00:43:41,700 --> 00:43:45,140
or is it like they have a menu in the app

1137
00:43:45,380 --> 00:43:48,380
and bakers upload what they can make

1138
00:43:48,820 --> 00:43:52,640
and then people can click on stuff, like a menu,

1139
00:43:53,160 --> 00:43:54,200
because I'm very creative.

1140
00:43:54,400 --> 00:43:56,740
And if you tell me to make something, like, sure,

1141
00:43:56,940 --> 00:43:59,780
I'll look up a recipe and it'll probably be great.

1142
00:44:00,120 --> 00:44:01,880
My motto is it'll probably be

1143
00:44:01,880 --> 00:44:02,160
fine.

1144
00:44:02,200 --> 00:44:03,100
- I like that way better.

1145
00:44:03,340 --> 00:44:05,820
- You know, so there's this fun side to it.

1146
00:44:05,900 --> 00:44:07,440
Like, cool, I'll make something new.

1147
00:44:07,600 --> 00:44:08,060
Like, I wanna try.

1148
00:44:08,080 --> 00:44:08,500
- That makes a

1149
00:44:08,500 --> 00:44:09,320
lot of sense to me.

1150
00:44:10,140 --> 00:44:11,220
A couple of episodes ago,

1151
00:44:11,220 --> 00:44:12,440
I don't even know if this episode's out yet,

1152
00:44:12,840 --> 00:44:14,620
Russell pitched, I think it was Russell,

1153
00:44:15,440 --> 00:44:17,480
Grandma's Sassified, like, baking delivery

1154
00:44:17,480 --> 00:44:18,380
fulfillment service.

1155
00:44:18,620 --> 00:44:20,100
So it was kinda like that, where you have like,

1156
00:44:21,059 --> 00:44:24,020
Etsy stores, but they're all menus of, you know,

1157
00:44:24,200 --> 00:44:26,540
recipes that people have posted, I make this really well.

1158
00:44:26,600 --> 00:44:31,160
And then you, his pitch was you outsource that idea to like the factory

1159
00:44:31,480 --> 00:44:35,360
actually makes it and you just put the recipe in there, remove all the

1160
00:44:35,360 --> 00:44:35,560
love.

1161
00:44:35,640 --> 00:44:35,880
Remove

1162
00:44:35,880 --> 00:44:36,000
the

1163
00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:36,160
love.

1164
00:44:36,200 --> 00:44:37,240
But having

1165
00:44:37,240 --> 00:44:37,380
it

1166
00:44:37,380 --> 00:44:39,480
not be menu based where you have

1167
00:44:39,480 --> 00:44:41,200
like, what are five different

1168
00:44:41,460 --> 00:44:43,940
local people's takes on blueberry scones?

1169
00:44:44,100 --> 00:44:44,780
It's really fun.

1170
00:44:45,220 --> 00:44:48,900
I, I, yeah, I think that that's where the match happens.

1171
00:44:49,080 --> 00:44:52,780
Like you uploading your recipe makes it make sense.

1172
00:44:52,800 --> 00:44:54,420
It's a little bit anonymous, right?

1173
00:44:54,560 --> 00:44:58,360
So like maybe, you know, you might be the only baker

1174
00:44:58,460 --> 00:45:00,480
that does scones this way, right?

1175
00:45:00,500 --> 00:45:02,940
So then trying to not overwhelm that person,

1176
00:45:02,960 --> 00:45:06,480
like, dude, those scones I got on whatever app,

1177
00:45:06,580 --> 00:45:08,780
like, I'm ordering them every week now.

1178
00:45:09,560 --> 00:45:11,680
And now all of a sudden you're just like overwhelmed

1179
00:45:11,820 --> 00:45:13,260
because you're just such a good baker.

1180
00:45:13,500 --> 00:45:15,960
All of a sudden, like everybody's buying that

1181
00:45:15,960 --> 00:45:16,260
recipe.

1182
00:45:16,420 --> 00:45:16,800
- She's going

1183
00:45:16,800 --> 00:45:18,920
viral on, oh, what's the app called?

1184
00:45:19,300 --> 00:45:20,140
Ooh, hmm.

1185
00:45:20,360 --> 00:45:23,200
- Honestly, if there was an app or a website

1186
00:45:23,300 --> 00:45:25,540
where I could order just a box of scones,

1187
00:45:25,720 --> 00:45:27,720
but they were all made by a different person,

1188
00:45:28,140 --> 00:45:28,540
logistically

1189
00:45:28,540 --> 00:45:29,460
it's a nightmare,

1190
00:45:29,880 --> 00:45:32,320
but I got to like blindly vote on these

1191
00:45:32,380 --> 00:45:34,440
and then a communal vote of the world of like,

1192
00:45:35,020 --> 00:45:37,360
A1 is the best scone of all of these,

1193
00:45:37,520 --> 00:45:38,500
made by such and such.

1194
00:45:39,100 --> 00:45:39,780
Boost his business.

1195
00:45:39,860 --> 00:45:40,920
I would do that in a heartbeat.

1196
00:45:41,040 --> 00:45:41,600
I'd love that.

1197
00:45:42,180 --> 00:45:44,220
- So then it would just be like a drop off thing

1198
00:45:44,300 --> 00:45:46,100
where I would bring like 30 scones

1199
00:45:46,260 --> 00:45:47,880
and drop them off at

1200
00:45:47,880 --> 00:45:49,060
a certain place.

1201
00:45:49,120 --> 00:45:50,620
and so would 10 other bakers.

1202
00:45:50,880 --> 00:45:53,320
And then there would only be 30 boxes available, right?

1203
00:45:53,360 --> 00:45:54,720
We put one score on each box.

1204
00:45:55,100 --> 00:45:55,300
And then

1205
00:45:55,300 --> 00:45:55,620
it's just

1206
00:45:55,620 --> 00:45:55,860
a,

1207
00:45:56,080 --> 00:45:56,200
yeah,

1208
00:45:56,260 --> 00:45:58,440
there's just a, like a limit to how many it's like,

1209
00:45:58,560 --> 00:46:00,420
okay, every Friday, every Friday,

1210
00:46:00,540 --> 00:46:02,340
there's 30 boxes first come first serve.

1211
00:46:02,530 --> 00:46:03,980
Oh, then you can start bidding on them.

1212
00:46:04,340 --> 00:46:07,220
- Oh man, I've been making muffins out of a box

1213
00:46:07,340 --> 00:46:09,380
because I just like don't have the energy

1214
00:46:09,450 --> 00:46:11,040
to make it from scratch, right?

1215
00:46:11,500 --> 00:46:14,140
But if I could, like, there's something different

1216
00:46:14,300 --> 00:46:16,280
about like, I buy muffins all the time.

1217
00:46:16,370 --> 00:46:17,940
I go to LJ's, get the muffins there.

1218
00:46:18,320 --> 00:46:20,700
I get muffins from Blueberry store,

1219
00:46:21,800 --> 00:46:24,220
but they're not as good as, I don't know,

1220
00:46:24,620 --> 00:46:26,480
even the box stuff that I make at home,

1221
00:46:26,580 --> 00:46:28,900
it tastes better than sometimes the stuff I get at LG's.

1222
00:46:29,200 --> 00:46:32,600
And so it's like, it'd be nice to just get somebody

1223
00:46:32,800 --> 00:46:34,680
with a little bit more, you know.

1224
00:46:36,020 --> 00:46:37,860
- Somebody who knows how to handle a sourdough, you know?

1225
00:46:38,020 --> 00:46:38,380
- Just like,

1226
00:46:38,800 --> 00:46:40,720
you know, I'm trying my best with this box,

1227
00:46:40,920 --> 00:46:43,260
but it'd be nice if somebody who actually tried

1228
00:46:43,440 --> 00:46:45,760
to provide the good stuff, you're

1229
00:46:45,760 --> 00:46:46,400
like, oh man.

1230
00:46:46,570 --> 00:46:47,400
- Fresh fruit, all that, yeah.

1231
00:46:47,880 --> 00:46:52,520
Yeah, yes, fresh fruit, real good ingredients, you know?

1232
00:46:53,060 --> 00:46:55,740
There's no short cutting of employee work or whatever.

1233
00:46:55,940 --> 00:46:57,480
I mean, it's just like, I don't know.

1234
00:46:57,820 --> 00:46:59,000
- Your app would be the first

1235
00:46:59,000 --> 00:46:59,740
thing I would fire up

1236
00:46:59,800 --> 00:47:00,920
if I was traveling too.

1237
00:47:01,120 --> 00:47:02,440
If I'm in a new town for a week,

1238
00:47:02,620 --> 00:47:03,760
what are they known for here?

1239
00:47:03,860 --> 00:47:05,580
Oh, a really good curry that's made

1240
00:47:05,700 --> 00:47:07,220
by that lady down the street or whatever.

1241
00:47:07,400 --> 00:47:08,180
That sounds awesome.

1242
00:47:08,540 --> 00:47:10,160
Delivered to my hotel room for sure.

1243
00:47:10,660 --> 00:47:11,900
- Oh, that'd be interesting

1244
00:47:11,900 --> 00:47:12,280
too.

1245
00:47:12,300 --> 00:47:13,820
- Wow, that would be really cool.

1246
00:47:13,840 --> 00:47:14,840
- Just a convenient way

1247
00:47:14,840 --> 00:47:15,659
to get food

1248
00:47:15,660 --> 00:47:17,720
That's homemade from people that you don't know.

1249
00:47:18,400 --> 00:47:18,800
(laughing)

1250
00:47:19,580 --> 00:47:19,980
Awesome.

1251
00:47:20,400 --> 00:47:23,280
You do have to deal with the random arsenic poisoning

1252
00:47:23,500 --> 00:47:24,640
or whatever, but.

1253
00:47:25,100 --> 00:47:26,780
- Just give them a one star review and then move on.

1254
00:47:27,660 --> 00:47:28,060
(laughing)

1255
00:47:29,560 --> 00:47:31,180
- I'm sure the one star reviews will keep

1256
00:47:31,280 --> 00:47:33,080
all of the ill intentions in check.

1257
00:47:33,540 --> 00:47:33,620
- Yeah.

1258
00:47:33,680 --> 00:47:35,060
- They will be hilarious to read.

1259
00:47:35,420 --> 00:47:37,700
- Put razor blades in your carrot cake, one star.

1260
00:47:38,260 --> 00:47:38,660
(laughing)

1261
00:47:39,400 --> 00:47:40,840
- Three stars and above is just like

1262
00:47:40,860 --> 00:47:41,920
how good of a baker you are.

1263
00:47:41,960 --> 00:47:43,880
Two or less, something's happening.

1264
00:47:45,300 --> 00:47:49,320
It'd be so cool to just buy some legit cookies,

1265
00:47:49,700 --> 00:47:50,760
not like the--

1266
00:47:50,910 --> 00:47:51,860
I think you're just hungry.

1267
00:47:52,040 --> 00:47:52,740
Russell's in.

1268
00:47:52,740 --> 00:47:53,460
You are too.

1269
00:47:54,000 --> 00:47:55,540
He is on board.

1270
00:47:55,790 --> 00:47:57,940
All right, what are we going to call the app, Russell?

1271
00:47:58,280 --> 00:47:59,920
I just want some good baked goods.

1272
00:48:00,360 --> 00:48:00,600
Good?

1273
00:48:00,680 --> 00:48:02,140
Russell missed homemade muffins.

1274
00:48:02,180 --> 00:48:02,440
Whole

1275
00:48:02,440 --> 00:48:02,980
baked.

1276
00:48:03,560 --> 00:48:05,780
Baked whole, or something like that.

1277
00:48:06,420 --> 00:48:08,920
You could go healthy holistic or

1278
00:48:08,920 --> 00:48:11,120
whole--

1279
00:48:11,120 --> 00:48:11,360
like

1280
00:48:11,360 --> 00:48:12,700
not fake.

1281
00:48:13,260 --> 00:48:16,640
Maybe there's a spin on the at which is just like not like crud ingredients.

1282
00:48:17,000 --> 00:48:18,580
You know, you have to use good stuff.

1283
00:48:18,860 --> 00:48:19,200
Whole.

1284
00:48:19,619 --> 00:48:19,980
Whole.

1285
00:48:20,520 --> 00:48:21,560
Oh, no, it sounds weird.

1286
00:48:21,920 --> 00:48:22,520
Donut whole.

1287
00:48:25,959 --> 00:48:26,820
W H O

1288
00:48:26,820 --> 00:48:27,220
L E.

1289
00:48:27,350 --> 00:48:27,580
All right.

1290
00:48:27,740 --> 00:48:28,300
Whole foods.

1291
00:48:28,300 --> 00:48:28,920
Just whole it baby.

1292
00:48:29,340 --> 00:48:31,020
Uh, now I'm, uh, shoot.

1293
00:48:31,340 --> 00:48:32,120
I don't know what to do for dinner.

1294
00:48:32,400 --> 00:48:33,040
I'm going to whole it.

1295
00:48:35,140 --> 00:48:37,640
Whole, whole goods instead of whole foods.

1296
00:48:37,880 --> 00:48:38,140
Just.

1297
00:48:39,420 --> 00:48:41,540
You know, we could just call it zo good.

1298
00:48:41,780 --> 00:48:42,800
Zo good.

1299
00:48:42,900 --> 00:48:44,320
Oh, that's pretty good.

1300
00:48:45,500 --> 00:48:45,800
And then

1301
00:48:45,800 --> 00:48:47,820
no one will ever mispronounce

1302
00:48:47,820 --> 00:48:49,540
our last name again, because

1303
00:48:49,540 --> 00:48:50,580
it would become famous.

1304
00:48:50,820 --> 00:48:50,980
Yeah.

00:48:53,559 --> 00:48:57,640

1319
00:49:39,660 --> 00:49:44,200
stand out that you really think a friend of yours might find entertaining and send it
