1
00:00:04,559 --> 00:00:07,720
I'm Scott, I'm Russell, and I'm Leo. This is Spitball!

2
00:00:17,039 --> 00:00:21,780
Welcome to Spitball, where three law-abiding lunatics and a guest empty our heads of startup

3
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:25,640
and tech product ideas that we have stuck up in there so you can all have them for free!

4
00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:27,340
Anything that we say is yours to keep.

5
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:30,140
And Russell, I believe that you brought our guest this week.

6
00:00:30,380 --> 00:00:32,900
Yes, we have Matt Rybar here.

7
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:39,000
He's the founder and president of the Michigan Public Safety Drone Association and leads

8
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:44,820
efforts to integrate drone technology into Michigan's public safety sectors.

9
00:00:45,300 --> 00:00:47,000
Thank you so much for being here, Matt.

10
00:00:47,610 --> 00:00:47,780
Welcome.

11
00:00:48,140 --> 00:00:48,580
Thanks, Russell.

12
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:50,780
Yeah, it's a pleasure to have you.

13
00:00:51,140 --> 00:00:53,660
As we do every week, we got to get started off with a game.

14
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:58,460
in honor of all of the times that you have lobbied for the rights of drones.

15
00:00:59,220 --> 00:01:06,120
Drone kind in front of our Michigan legislature. I've written a little game. This time I'm gonna be calling it "Law or Lore".

16
00:01:06,180 --> 00:01:10,780
In "Law or Lore", I'm gonna give you a Michigan either state law or municipality law,

17
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:13,900
and all you got to tell me is, is this a real ordinance or is this something that I made up?

18
00:01:14,310 --> 00:01:20,400
For example, did you know that in Michigan it is illegal to seduce or debauch an unmarried woman?

19
00:01:20,460 --> 00:01:21,940
And that's a five year felony.

20
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:26,260
That is still a legal thing on the books today, which is pretty great.

21
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:27,460
That's true.

22
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:28,280
Yeah, it's true.

23
00:01:28,820 --> 00:01:32,640
So I know a pizza guy that owes me five years of his life.

24
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:35,520
In prison.

25
00:01:38,219 --> 00:01:42,080
Anyway, we got to start, as we do every time with with our guest, Matt.

26
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:43,340
Matt, is this true or not?

27
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:48,499
Within the Detroit city limits, it's illegal to let your pig run unless

28
00:01:48,820 --> 00:01:50,460
It has a ring in its nose.

29
00:01:51,060 --> 00:01:51,140
-Lore.

30
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:52,040
Definitely a lore.

31
00:01:52,100 --> 00:01:53,740
-That's a real-- that's a real lore.

32
00:01:53,900 --> 00:01:54,140
[laughter]

33
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:54,860
-Wow.

34
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:58,920
-You can't let your pig run within the city limits unless they're wearing a ring,

35
00:01:59,060 --> 00:02:00,500
which is a practical requirement.

36
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:01,600
-There's a new business.

37
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:03,840
-I was about to say, new product idea.

38
00:02:03,980 --> 00:02:04,100
-Pig rings.

39
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:05,120
-Absolutely.

40
00:02:05,220 --> 00:02:05,720
-Or old product.

41
00:02:05,740 --> 00:02:06,140
-Pig rings.

42
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:08,500
-Head on down to pigrings.biz.

43
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:09,119
[laughter]

44
00:02:09,940 --> 00:02:10,399
That's great.

45
00:02:10,679 --> 00:02:15,840
Russell, across the whole state of Michigan, is it illegal to sell cars on Sunday?

46
00:02:16,100 --> 00:02:21,680
Absolutely. We are a we rest on Sunday out here in Michigan by the Bible Belt.

47
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:27,280
That is true as of 1953. Did you know that? It's unlawful for any person, firm, corporation,

48
00:02:27,920 --> 00:02:31,640
even second hand. You're not allowed to sell the car to grandma or whatever.

49
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:32,920
Wow. Crazy.

50
00:02:33,540 --> 00:02:35,740
Amen, brother. Sorry. You can edit that out.

51
00:02:36,140 --> 00:02:40,819
That's right. Scott, in East Lansing, Michigan, there's an ordinance that says all buildings

52
00:02:40,820 --> 00:02:47,780
with elevators of at least three floors high must play "wax cylinder music recordings or an equivalent."

53
00:02:49,540 --> 00:02:53,540
I hope that is lore. I don't know if Spotify has wax cylinder recordings.

54
00:02:53,980 --> 00:02:57,520
Or an equivalent. Spotify would count? Are you saying that's made up?

55
00:02:57,920 --> 00:02:59,600
That's lore. Yeah, I made that up.

56
00:02:59,710 --> 00:03:00,540
Okay, very good.

57
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:07,660
Matt, in the city of Grand Haven, it's illegal to leave your hoop skirt abandoned on a sidewalk.

58
00:03:08,100 --> 00:03:09,420
That's a law. Absolutely.

59
00:03:09,540 --> 00:03:10,700
That's a real law.

60
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:12,000
I think Matt wrote that one.

61
00:03:12,739 --> 00:03:13,260
1890s.

62
00:03:13,300 --> 00:03:16,400
There's a wire problem in Victorian fashion, I guess.

63
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:22,140
And there's a $5 fine, which I guess would equate to about $165 today.

64
00:03:22,340 --> 00:03:29,299
That means that a whole city, a council meeting happened to say, "Yes, that law gavel slams."

65
00:03:29,890 --> 00:03:30,020
Absolutely.

66
00:03:30,140 --> 00:03:30,500
It's time.

67
00:03:30,500 --> 00:03:32,300
Write that into the law.

68
00:03:32,300 --> 00:03:34,700
We have suffered under this tyranny for too long.

69
00:03:35,959 --> 00:03:36,480
Scott.

70
00:03:37,060 --> 00:03:43,460
Harper Woods, Michigan, it's against the law to paint sparrows and sell them as parakeets. Why?

71
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:50,520
Lore, please be lore. That's a real one. Oh my god. Extremely specific city ordinance. That's right.

72
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:53,000
Not in Holland! Not in Grand Rapids!

73
00:03:53,060 --> 00:03:56,800
Every law is here for a reason and I just want to know what happened to that one. I know, me too.

74
00:03:57,580 --> 00:04:01,259
Russell, in the whole state of Michigan if you declare bankruptcy

75
00:04:02,460 --> 00:04:08,160
100 chickens are exempt from collections agents. Oh my that's true

76
00:04:08,420 --> 00:04:15,440
It is true and not only that way by law a debtor is entitled to retain 10 sheep 2 cows 5 swines

77
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:19,720
100 hens 5 roosters and sufficient feed for 6 months

78
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:24,860
So I guess you can keep your own homestead or your farm and get back on your feet quickly

79
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:26,739
My mortgage just got more confusing

80
00:04:31,300 --> 00:04:34,820
One more time through Matt in the city of Rochester, Michigan

81
00:04:35,280 --> 00:04:42,420
There's an ordinance requiring that all bathing suits to be inspected by the city's chief of police before use. That's a law

82
00:04:42,940 --> 00:04:47,740
Absolutely. There is a law so I couldn't find a direct citation for this one

83
00:04:47,740 --> 00:04:53,120
But there's a bunch of like 10 wacky laws in Michigan articles that all say that so I think that used to be a law

84
00:04:53,220 --> 00:04:54,320
And that it's not a thing anymore

85
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:54,680
But yes

86
00:04:54,660 --> 00:05:01,720
It absolutely was and I think it harkens back to like Victorian sounding like make sure it covers decency

87
00:05:02,180 --> 00:05:07,140
Standards or something, but yeah wacky Scott Sault Ste. Marie in Michigan's Upper Peninsula

88
00:05:07,340 --> 00:05:10,240
There's an old local law that prohibits smoking in bed

89
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:16,840
Sure, I think that sounds reasonable for the UP. That is very much true. Is it my freedom?

90
00:05:18,280 --> 00:05:23,039
In Sault Ste. Marie only you can smoke in bed next door to the what it is outside my bed my choice

91
00:05:26,139 --> 00:05:32,600
That's right. And lastly, Russell, in Marquette, Michigan, in the UP, you may not be a tourist or

92
00:05:32,740 --> 00:05:39,980
guest and view an Aurora Borealis without a license. Oh my, please, lore. Please, lore.

93
00:05:40,260 --> 00:05:44,940
Yeah, I made that one up. Okay. Oh good, what a lord. Oh my gosh.

94
00:05:45,100 --> 00:05:48,980
Very good. I think that means, Russell, you got all three, am I right? I think so.

95
00:05:49,300 --> 00:05:51,380
- Ah, it's just, you know, how I roll most days.

96
00:05:52,420 --> 00:05:52,500
(laughing)

97
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:54,300
- Russell, why don't you kick us off this week?

98
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:55,320
What do you have for us for a pitch?

99
00:05:55,460 --> 00:05:58,120
- Oh, great, yes, happy to.

100
00:05:59,699 --> 00:06:00,020
So...

101
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:01,200
- Or do you need to sober up first?

102
00:06:02,020 --> 00:06:02,760
- Or think of an idea.

103
00:06:03,660 --> 00:06:04,140
- Or think of an idea first.

104
00:06:04,140 --> 00:06:05,140
- No, I got my idea.

105
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:06,100
Okay, this idea.

106
00:06:06,380 --> 00:06:06,700
- What do you got?

107
00:06:06,940 --> 00:06:08,100
- Little interesting, okay?

108
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:09,820
Maybe this exists, maybe it doesn't,

109
00:06:09,940 --> 00:06:13,420
but so the idea is called Caterizer.

110
00:06:14,140 --> 00:06:19,740
Basically, it takes any existing mom and pop shop kitchen

111
00:06:20,740 --> 00:06:23,620
or like, you know, little restaurant

112
00:06:24,180 --> 00:06:28,880
and we help set up the catering for that business, okay?

113
00:06:29,420 --> 00:06:32,440
And so what this does is we reach out to,

114
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:33,780
like we're hyper local,

115
00:06:34,140 --> 00:06:37,120
we reach out to like five or 10 mom and pop shops

116
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:38,360
that are doing really well

117
00:06:38,860 --> 00:06:40,700
and figure out a catering strategy,

118
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:44,120
centralize operations for those five

119
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:49,980
to like have a commercial kitchen that's supposed to make a hundred like 300 chicken sandwiches for

120
00:06:50,020 --> 00:06:54,820
that one catering event right which may not be possible in a current restaurant situation

121
00:06:55,570 --> 00:07:02,760
so we are like the outsourced ghost kitchen that basically takes your recipe takes your brand and

122
00:07:02,900 --> 00:07:10,760
caterizes your kitchen right don't worry about literally you don't have to do literally anything

123
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:12,760
You just say, I want this.

124
00:07:12,990 --> 00:07:13,800
We take a cut.

125
00:07:14,300 --> 00:07:15,200
We caterize.

126
00:07:15,820 --> 00:07:16,060
Done.

127
00:07:16,420 --> 00:07:16,760
That's it.

128
00:07:17,180 --> 00:07:20,300
This whole pitch was you wanted to use the word caterize that you just coined.

129
00:07:20,330 --> 00:07:20,800
I get it.

130
00:07:23,180 --> 00:07:23,700
That's a good word.

131
00:07:23,820 --> 00:07:25,320
Checking copyrights right now.

132
00:07:25,580 --> 00:07:25,640
Yep.

133
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:26,440
Russell's got it.

134
00:07:27,020 --> 00:07:27,460
Caterized.

135
00:07:30,180 --> 00:07:33,800
Are you imagining individuals or existing established businesses

136
00:07:34,020 --> 00:07:35,180
coming to this with their recipe?

137
00:07:36,419 --> 00:07:39,520
Existing established businesses that are already killing it.

138
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:40,940
the ones that are doing super well,

139
00:07:41,020 --> 00:07:43,100
they've been in business for like maybe two or three years, right?

140
00:07:43,180 --> 00:07:47,100
So you want to kind of find the new ones and just take,

141
00:07:47,420 --> 00:07:49,860
not take, expand, right?

142
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:53,300
Their, their business. Yeah. That makes sense.

143
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:56,880
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. How do you market to that group? That's hard.

144
00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:00,180
Like you're already doing exactly what you're doing now and you're killing it.

145
00:08:00,300 --> 00:08:03,920
So why don't you give up control of making that to this other company and hope

146
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:05,660
that it works out? You know, that's a tough pitch.

147
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:09,360
Well, in theory, you're going to the ones that aren't doing catering right now.

148
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:11,980
They just can't like they've thought about it.

149
00:08:12,060 --> 00:08:15,520
They've probably done some bulk orders, but they've probably turned down

150
00:08:15,870 --> 00:08:17,440
those types of arrangements, right?

151
00:08:17,580 --> 00:08:19,240
You got to drive some fear into them.

152
00:08:19,350 --> 00:08:23,200
You got to give them a call to be like, Hey, I'm having a wedding coming up.

153
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:26,540
I need, you know, 400 orders of whatever by this date.

154
00:08:26,620 --> 00:08:27,260
Can you do that?

155
00:08:27,430 --> 00:08:28,060
Oh, you can't.

156
00:08:28,100 --> 00:08:28,340
Okay.

157
00:08:28,460 --> 00:08:28,940
Then hang up.

158
00:08:29,020 --> 00:08:31,240
And then Russell comes in the next day with his service.

159
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,200
Hey, I help you do large events.

160
00:08:34,659 --> 00:08:35,719
Whoa, I got to call this other guy.

161
00:08:35,719 --> 00:08:38,219
I called me yesterday and all of a sudden I'm buying my own stuff.

162
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:38,960
(laughing)

163
00:08:40,180 --> 00:08:41,820
- So I think I was at a place,

164
00:08:42,900 --> 00:08:45,920
I was at some restaurants in Madison.

165
00:08:46,780 --> 00:08:48,420
It was like a breakfast joint

166
00:08:48,660 --> 00:08:50,460
and they have a really good lunch,

167
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:51,900
they have an incredible menu.

168
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:54,900
And I think there were somebody that was coming in

169
00:08:55,020 --> 00:08:56,580
and asking about catering.

170
00:08:56,900 --> 00:08:59,840
Like, "Hey, we wanna do this breakfast brunch event."

171
00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:02,300
Like, "Hey, we don't do any catering."

172
00:09:02,300 --> 00:09:03,340
There was like 150 people.

173
00:09:03,740 --> 00:09:05,120
And it's probably because, right,

174
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:07,060
they're trying to run their existing restaurant.

175
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:09,280
So, I mean, I get it, right?

176
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:12,180
And what's cool about this is like ad hoc,

177
00:09:12,210 --> 00:09:13,140
you don't have to pay.

178
00:09:13,250 --> 00:09:14,580
It's like if you're a restaurant owner,

179
00:09:14,580 --> 00:09:17,740
you have to pay for a commercial kitchen to do that.

180
00:09:18,100 --> 00:09:21,040
There's this one restaurant that I was talking to years ago

181
00:09:21,140 --> 00:09:24,460
that was like, yeah, like we make literally like 300,

182
00:09:24,820 --> 00:09:26,480
500 tamales to order.

183
00:09:27,290 --> 00:09:28,420
We do that during the day.

184
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:30,860
We don't open and do breakfast or lunch during the day

185
00:09:30,860 --> 00:09:33,540
'cause we're literally making tamales all day, right?

186
00:09:33,700 --> 00:09:34,640
Like all day.

187
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:38,500
And so you would just, um, yeah, that's, you'd do it in a different kitchen.

188
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:39,620
They would rent out other kitchens.

189
00:09:39,780 --> 00:09:40,740
Like, why do that?

190
00:09:40,780 --> 00:09:41,680
I'll just do it all for you.

191
00:09:41,820 --> 00:09:43,460
You could like borrow a chef from the original company.

192
00:09:43,580 --> 00:09:46,160
Like, Hey, I need, I need one of your sous chefs just for the day.

193
00:09:46,380 --> 00:09:47,740
Tell me, does this taste like what you make?

194
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:48,080
Great.

195
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:48,660
Ship it.

196
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:52,080
No, they just use like, now they can make like, I don't know how they make

197
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:56,600
tamales, but like now you can use like 40, like 10 burners instead of the four.

198
00:09:57,020 --> 00:09:57,560
Yeah, I guess.

199
00:09:57,780 --> 00:10:01,600
And then we would, so like, what's different about this is we would go like

200
00:10:01,900 --> 00:10:02,700
nationwide with it.

201
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:07,660
We'd be a national brand that would, that would trust and we could ship over overseas.

202
00:10:07,660 --> 00:10:09,640
Oh, you're not white labeling your service.

203
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:13,280
You're not going to be the fulfillment that like, I don't know, local

204
00:10:13,660 --> 00:10:16,140
Mexican restaurant comes to you and you start doing that.

205
00:10:16,500 --> 00:10:18,640
You're not going to like pretend that you're more poised from them.

206
00:10:18,740 --> 00:10:23,480
You're going to call yourselves the like the caterizers and the caterizers menu

207
00:10:23,780 --> 00:10:26,640
is different every month, depending on what restaurant you're partnered with or

208
00:10:26,780 --> 00:10:26,940
whatever.

209
00:10:27,330 --> 00:10:28,480
I thought you were taking their branding.

210
00:10:28,580 --> 00:10:29,120
I know.

211
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:29,880
Yeah, me too.

212
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:30,400
I'm more of an.

213
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:35,380
Well, I was more thinking like a national, like we would be a national brand to those restaurants.

214
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:40,860
So when they go to the national convention, right, the kitchen convention would be.

215
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:44,380
Well, what if you were something that the average consumer recognized?

216
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:45,240
That could be interesting.

217
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:51,340
We're like, oh man, sort of like the soup of the day, but I'm the restaurant of the week.

218
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:56,280
And this week we have whatever for weddings, but next week it's your host in that party.

219
00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:56,720
I don't know.

220
00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:58,120
I like that a lot.

221
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:01,280
If there's like the most famous restaurant in Atlanta, Georgia,

222
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:03,660
the most famous mom and pop shop, I would try that.

223
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:04,040
Hell yeah.

224
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:05,120
What are they most famous for?

225
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:05,780
This dish.

226
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:07,080
I'd try that up here.

227
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:07,700
That'd be great.

228
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:09,980
I'm having that grad party or whatever.

229
00:11:10,380 --> 00:11:11,620
Let me have in caterizers.

230
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:14,060
They'll have something interesting from Louisiana.

231
00:11:14,560 --> 00:11:14,720
Yeah.

232
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:18,100
It's like door dashing across the country, but there's only one option each week.

233
00:11:19,019 --> 00:11:19,880
That's really fun.

234
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:21,180
That's actually genius.

235
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:22,180
Oh my gosh.

236
00:11:22,420 --> 00:11:22,720
Right?

237
00:11:22,820 --> 00:11:27,920
So like the most famous kitchen, like the most famous restaurant in

238
00:11:27,980 --> 00:11:30,680
like Louisiana, like a New Orleans.

239
00:11:30,900 --> 00:11:31,120
Right.

240
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:31,920
All right.

241
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,040
We're going to make the best Cajun meal.

242
00:11:34,620 --> 00:11:34,800
Yeah.

243
00:11:35,100 --> 00:11:36,680
We're just going to make it all over the place.

244
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:41,620
They just gave us, they just sent us the recipe and we procure and do everything

245
00:11:41,820 --> 00:11:48,560
and take a ton of the, you know, all the pre-orders purchase boom and just turn it

246
00:11:48,680 --> 00:11:48,760
around.

247
00:11:48,780 --> 00:11:49,340
I love it.

248
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:52,160
That's just a bunch of free advertising for them too.

249
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:53,480
And the next time you're in New Orleans,

250
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:54,960
you gotta try it again if you liked it.

251
00:11:55,140 --> 00:11:57,100
- Is this naive in saying photographers

252
00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:58,420
love being paid in exposure?

253
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:01,000
Like, are there restaurants out here who are like,

254
00:12:01,180 --> 00:12:02,900
"There's no way in hell I'm giving you my recipe.

255
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:04,620
"I don't have any control over you."

256
00:12:04,620 --> 00:12:07,220
Like, I feel like this might be a hard sell to it, yeah.

257
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:09,440
- I'll sign an NDA, whatever, right?

258
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:11,080
Like, we just make everybody sign an NDA.

259
00:12:11,560 --> 00:12:13,700
- You have to accept the cred, for sure, yeah.

260
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:16,420
Once you are something that consumers know,

261
00:12:16,580 --> 00:12:18,480
then you have a little bit of sway in the negotiation.

262
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:20,640
- Dude, if I did like an in and out,

263
00:12:21,100 --> 00:12:24,160
Not in and out, but in and out pop up in the Midwest.

264
00:12:24,780 --> 00:12:30,840
Like, you know how much money I would make for just one day of, I would, I would.

265
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:31,680
Yeah.

266
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:34,560
There'd just be no way I could fulfill all the orders for in and out.

267
00:12:34,660 --> 00:12:38,460
But if you do something a little smaller scale, maybe a little less famous, it

268
00:12:38,700 --> 00:12:40,440
up and down, it would pan out.

269
00:12:41,899 --> 00:12:42,300
Dude.

270
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:43,560
Yes.

271
00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:44,080
Yeah.

272
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:46,600
Throw some door dash drivers in there.

273
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:47,340
You know,

274
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:52,620
I think your key to value proposition for your books is doing it big though.

275
00:12:52,700 --> 00:12:53,860
You don't take DoorDash orders.

276
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:56,740
You take minimum 200 quantity orders.

277
00:12:57,819 --> 00:12:58,220
Yes.

278
00:12:59,120 --> 00:12:59,300
Right.

279
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:00,480
And maybe that can be-

280
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:01,720
Whole businesses, right?

281
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:04,400
Entire block of, uh, what's your restaurant?

282
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:06,320
What's your restaurant that you guys want to have?

283
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:08,120
What, like, what is the best restaurant?

284
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:12,600
All the West coasters talk about like, oh God, Whataburger and In-N-Out

285
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:15,200
and Shake Shack and stuff, and we don't have any of that stuff in here

286
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:16,000
in Michigan, up in the Midwest.

287
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:20,680
We're just now discovering raising canes and Popeyes and stuff.

288
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:22,580
It's like, there's so much that we're missing out on.

289
00:13:22,580 --> 00:13:25,040
-We didn't have Sonic on the East side in Detroit.

290
00:13:25,110 --> 00:13:28,660
We would get commercials for Sonic all the time growing up, but there

291
00:13:28,740 --> 00:13:30,440
was just no Sonic in Michigan.

292
00:13:30,710 --> 00:13:31,780
That really pissed me off.

293
00:13:32,500 --> 00:13:32,760
-Yes.

294
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:39,020
-Well, Caterizers will be at your door this year to sell you all those.

295
00:13:39,020 --> 00:13:41,880
-For me and 199 of my closest friends and family.

296
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:44,740
One week only.

297
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:48,160
I only wanted one In-N-Out burger, not 160.

298
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:49,560
(laughing)

299
00:13:50,220 --> 00:13:50,900
- Buy a deep freezer.

300
00:13:52,020 --> 00:13:52,980
- Buy a deep freezer.

301
00:13:53,580 --> 00:13:53,940
(laughing)

302
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:59,920
- I love bulk prepared secondhand recipe In-N-Out burgers

303
00:14:00,180 --> 00:14:01,880
that are in the deep freezer for a few weeks.

304
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,340
That's peak culinary experience right there.

305
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:05,220
(laughing)

306
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:05,700
- Hell yeah.

307
00:14:06,380 --> 00:14:07,480
Just throw it in the air fryer, all right?

308
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:07,960
- Yeah, that's right.

309
00:14:08,220 --> 00:14:08,680
(laughing)

310
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:16,160
All righty, Scotty B, what do you got this week?

311
00:14:16,560 --> 00:14:18,080
- All right, I have a drone idea

312
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:20,920
that I have been saving for Mr. Rybar here.

313
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:25,740
So, we recently had rain in our area

314
00:14:25,740 --> 00:14:26,960
and this entire summer,

315
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:29,080
I have felt like we haven't had any mosquitoes.

316
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:31,480
And then all of a sudden there's mosquitoes everywhere

317
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:33,540
and it's really pissing me off.

318
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:37,660
And so I'm wondering, can we make a drone product

319
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:39,440
that will, after a rainstorm,

320
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:46,920
go around and just like poison every puddle so that larva can't like spawn there.

321
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:51,580
Every small body of water, it could just detect and go in and drop like a little tablet.

322
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:55,680
Apparently there's like things that don't affect the environment at all, but they just make it so

323
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:57,900
larva can't develop some kind of protein.

324
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:01,060
And then it just flies back home and returns.

325
00:15:01,060 --> 00:15:04,880
It just keeps doing that until there aren't any mosquitoes in a hundred yards around me in any

326
00:15:05,020 --> 00:15:05,300
direction.

327
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:06,780
And that's the entire idea.

328
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:07,480
Wow, honey.

329
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:10,180
I feel like ever since we hired Scorched Earth,

330
00:15:10,980 --> 00:15:13,960
there's been no single wildlife pest outside.

331
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:17,020
I haven't seen a thing living or dead.

332
00:15:17,540 --> 00:15:20,240
- I did a little bit of due diligence on this,

333
00:15:20,620 --> 00:15:22,980
and there are environmentally safe ways

334
00:15:22,980 --> 00:15:26,500
to kill mosquito larvae that don't affect most wildlife.

335
00:15:29,100 --> 00:15:29,900
- What about humans?

336
00:15:30,020 --> 00:15:31,100
What's the effect on humans?

337
00:15:32,820 --> 00:15:34,140
- How's that well water treating you?

338
00:15:34,180 --> 00:15:36,599
- It's a naturally occurring bacterium

339
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:39,020
that specifically targets mosquito larvae.

340
00:15:39,260 --> 00:15:40,920
- That's cool. - And like some kind of,

341
00:15:41,060 --> 00:15:41,940
most kinds of flies.

342
00:15:41,980 --> 00:15:43,320
- And living human cells.

343
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:46,720
- Anyway, I wanna poison the water supply using drones.

344
00:15:47,639 --> 00:15:48,040
(laughing)

345
00:15:48,860 --> 00:15:50,560
- I see nothing wrong with it, absolutely.

346
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:52,700
- Okay, we got approval from the Senate.

347
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:56,400
- Yeah, the president says so, the drone association.

348
00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:58,960
- Dude, I mean, we, like, why not?

349
00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:02,140
Just like, let's just, why don't we sew it into the clouds?

350
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:04,200
So why don't we just put that chemical--

351
00:16:04,220 --> 00:16:05,040
- This isn't that much,

352
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:06,900
Let me narrow the scope a little bit.

353
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:08,860
This is kind of like when you have pest control

354
00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:10,480
like spray around your house, right?

355
00:16:11,020 --> 00:16:13,360
Like you have a small scale, you sort of make a barrier,

356
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:14,440
but it's your nearby--

357
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:16,760
- Yeah, I don't want to disrupt the entire ecosystem,

358
00:16:17,100 --> 00:16:17,920
just my lawn.

359
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:19,680
- I think the follow-up product though

360
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:21,880
is a mosquito zapper on that drone.

361
00:16:22,340 --> 00:16:24,860
It kills the larvae, then it flies around

362
00:16:24,900 --> 00:16:26,840
the little zap ranges.

363
00:16:27,390 --> 00:16:27,480
(laughing)

364
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:29,240
Zaps from out of the sky.

365
00:16:29,540 --> 00:16:32,060
- Our bug zapper is just not active enough.

366
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:34,360
It needs to chase them down and kill them.

367
00:16:35,860 --> 00:16:36,300
(laughter)

368
00:16:38,780 --> 00:16:39,840
- Psh, psh, psh, psh.

369
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:41,040
Just buzzing around.

370
00:16:41,060 --> 00:16:41,860
- Great marketing. - That's awesome.

371
00:16:42,820 --> 00:16:43,560
- Whoa, what's that?

372
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:45,040
Is that a bird, a plane?

373
00:16:45,340 --> 00:16:48,060
No, that is the mosquito's--

374
00:16:48,060 --> 00:16:51,260
- It's an electrified, electric fence

375
00:16:52,180 --> 00:16:53,220
combing through the air.

376
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:55,000
- This could be sold with caterize.

377
00:16:55,560 --> 00:17:00,060
You clean up the event before the guests show up.

378
00:17:01,900 --> 00:17:03,600
- Couple different niches here, but you know what?

379
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:05,480
but marketing says they go great together.

380
00:17:05,780 --> 00:17:06,140
(laughs)

381
00:17:07,319 --> 00:17:09,540
- So like rain barrels, I will say Scott,

382
00:17:10,180 --> 00:17:11,459
being in the stormwater industry,

383
00:17:11,959 --> 00:17:14,420
the rain barrels, there's like tablets you throw in

384
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:16,400
to prevent mosquito larva.

385
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:18,100
It's like a thing, it's totally real.

386
00:17:18,120 --> 00:17:19,880
- Put it on a drone, drop it in a puddle.

387
00:17:20,120 --> 00:17:21,100
- Just everywhere. - Everywhere.

388
00:17:21,100 --> 00:17:21,560
- But like for real.

389
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:22,880
- Everywhere you detect water.

390
00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:24,839
- Like why do we let mosquitoes live?

391
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:25,400
- Bats.

392
00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:27,060
- That's right, pure silence.

393
00:17:27,780 --> 00:17:29,860
- If you're an environmentalist, please write in to us.

394
00:17:30,220 --> 00:17:32,140
- Or don't, I think I know what that email looks like.

395
00:17:32,750 --> 00:17:32,840
(laughs)

396
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:39,920
podcast@Spitball.show. We'll take all of your hate mail. I guess my question to you Matt

397
00:17:39,980 --> 00:17:44,500
is that within the realm of possibility can a drone one detect water, two drop a

398
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:48,640
small object, three return home, and do it again? I don't see any problem with that.

399
00:17:49,120 --> 00:17:53,240
That's actually very feasible. How about the legality of that? Let's not talk about that.

400
00:17:53,630 --> 00:18:03,580
Okay what state should we be doing this in? Probably Texas. Louisiana just passed a

401
00:18:03,580 --> 00:18:07,460
that they can shoot drones out of the sky without any issues.

402
00:18:07,780 --> 00:18:11,500
So it's federally illegal, but they said screw the feds

403
00:18:11,540 --> 00:18:12,900
and we're going to do our own thing.

404
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:14,200
So that might be a good place.

405
00:18:14,360 --> 00:18:16,540
Turn the frickin' frogs gay with your tablets

406
00:18:16,700 --> 00:18:17,960
that you're dropping from the sky.

407
00:18:18,100 --> 00:18:20,280
We're going to make some conspiracy theories come to life.

408
00:18:20,380 --> 00:18:22,620
Can I send another drone to kill a current drone?

409
00:18:22,900 --> 00:18:25,200
Like if I see one, can I have like a hunter seeker drone?

410
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:26,880
This is my drone drone.

411
00:18:27,340 --> 00:18:27,920
My drone drone.

412
00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:28,880
My anti-drone drone.

413
00:18:29,020 --> 00:18:29,880
There's ones out there.

414
00:18:30,300 --> 00:18:30,540
Absolutely.

415
00:18:31,799 --> 00:18:32,200
Absolutely.

416
00:18:32,420 --> 00:18:33,740
-A little kamikaze drone action?

417
00:18:34,460 --> 00:18:37,240
-I do have a kamikaze drone in case Scott's drone

418
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:40,800
comes over to poison my water, my iron dome.

419
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:42,740
-Leo just loves the mosquitoes, man.

420
00:18:43,230 --> 00:18:44,360
He's been farming them for years.

421
00:18:45,940 --> 00:18:47,340
-I remember what I was thinking.

422
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:50,320
Okay, so in my parents, when I grew up,

423
00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:51,880
they would literally have a truck come by

424
00:18:52,190 --> 00:18:54,260
and they would spray for mosquitoes.

425
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:55,660
You guys have that? -Yes.

426
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:57,300
-Do we have that here? -Yes.

427
00:18:57,680 --> 00:18:59,140
We were talking about it on the other side of the state we did.

428
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:01,280
-What chemical is that? -It's just bleach.

429
00:19:01,340 --> 00:19:01,860
- Who knows?

430
00:19:02,360 --> 00:19:05,340
But whatever Scott is dropping on my puddles

431
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:07,540
is probably gonna be made of the same chemical

432
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:10,740
that just goes literally on like a truck

433
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:14,280
that just take a hose and spray it in the direction

434
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:17,980
all over the playgrounds, all over the trees.

435
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:20,800
Like we don't give a single about that.

436
00:19:21,260 --> 00:19:23,800
At least Scott's is a little bit more precise.

437
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:25,980
Like yeah, that puddle, no.

438
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:29,200
You know, that little pool of water, drop it, right?

439
00:19:29,700 --> 00:19:34,780
-No, right now we're totally cool with trucks just spraying the shit out of everything.

440
00:19:35,780 --> 00:19:38,440
We should at least be-- -Scott's is the environmental solution.

441
00:19:38,580 --> 00:19:41,020
-Yes, exactly right. -I'm just picturing sitting outside

442
00:19:41,140 --> 00:19:45,020
with a lemonade and a drone comes up and drops a little tablet in it and flies away.

443
00:19:46,020 --> 00:19:46,500
[laughter]

444
00:19:47,360 --> 00:19:49,240
-We sent a letter in the mail, Scott.

445
00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:50,440
[laughter]

446
00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:55,940
Don't go outside from 6 to 9 PM for the spray, the drone spray.

447
00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:57,040
-8 AM to 8 PM.

448
00:19:57,740 --> 00:19:58,760
I mean, what's so different?

449
00:19:59,110 --> 00:20:01,080
Like, Scott, yours is actually way safer

450
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:04,840
than those trucks driving by and just fogging

451
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:06,440
the whole neighborhood, right?

452
00:20:06,780 --> 00:20:09,580
So it sounds scary on paper, but like--

453
00:20:09,580 --> 00:20:10,760
It said it was even--

454
00:20:10,980 --> 00:20:13,500
whatever BTI that I was looking at

455
00:20:13,500 --> 00:20:15,080
says it's even harmless to bees.

456
00:20:15,180 --> 00:20:16,140
So I'm like, OK, great.

457
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:16,960
This is a good one.

458
00:20:17,120 --> 00:20:17,700
Let's try it.

459
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:18,840
It comes in tablet form.

460
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:19,540
OK.

461
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:21,460
The bees could go too, though.

462
00:20:21,620 --> 00:20:22,380
Let's kill them all.

463
00:20:23,120 --> 00:20:23,500
You know what?

464
00:20:23,700 --> 00:20:23,940
Screw it.

465
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:25,620
We'll go back to Leo's scorched earth.

466
00:20:25,820 --> 00:20:26,420
(laughing)

467
00:20:28,540 --> 00:20:29,380
- Why use chemicals, Scott?

468
00:20:29,500 --> 00:20:30,840
Why don't you just drop a bunch of frogs

469
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:32,480
and tadpoles in all these ponds?

470
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:34,280
- There is a dot earth TLD.

471
00:20:34,750 --> 00:20:36,300
You could have scorched dot earth

472
00:20:36,340 --> 00:20:37,460
if that's not taken already.

473
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:38,020
- Whoa.

474
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:40,220
Dude, that's definitely taken.

475
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:41,140
- Yeah, it must be.

476
00:20:41,460 --> 00:20:42,640
- What eats mosquito larva?

477
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:45,240
Is there like an animal, I mean, that's probably like a--

478
00:20:45,380 --> 00:20:46,960
- Larva, I don't know, but--

479
00:20:47,140 --> 00:20:48,780
- Minnows, like crazy.

480
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:50,520
What if you dropped just a minnow?

481
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:52,360
- What if the drone dropped a bunch of minnows

482
00:20:52,390 --> 00:20:55,080
into that puddle so that at the end of a day,

483
00:20:55,180 --> 00:20:57,360
you had hot baked minnows all over you.

484
00:20:58,260 --> 00:20:58,620
(laughing)

485
00:21:01,380 --> 00:21:02,520
- Everyone wants this service.

486
00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:04,200
Hey, no mosquitoes, baby.

487
00:21:04,220 --> 00:21:05,580
- At least there's no mosquitoes, honey.

488
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:08,040
(sad violin music)

489
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:13,100
- All right, Leo, what do you got for us this week?

490
00:21:13,360 --> 00:21:15,280
- All right, a simple task for us this evening, gentlemen.

491
00:21:15,380 --> 00:21:17,960
We need to solve the political divide in this country

492
00:21:18,120 --> 00:21:19,940
and fix the news outrage cycle, okay?

493
00:21:20,620 --> 00:21:20,920
No problem.

494
00:21:21,380 --> 00:21:22,160
- Perfect. - Easy.

495
00:21:22,360 --> 00:21:23,400
- Here's something I've been thinking a lot about.

496
00:21:23,700 --> 00:21:27,120
the news outrage cycle fuels itself on these stories

497
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:30,100
that both left and right-wing people hear

498
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:32,360
and get in a big tizzy about,

499
00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:34,680
and then forget about for the next thing.

500
00:21:34,900 --> 00:21:36,020
Three weeks later, nobody's talking

501
00:21:36,100 --> 00:21:36,760
about that thing anymore.

502
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:40,840
So I want to build the news outrage cycle reminder,

503
00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:44,480
which sends a thing, a push notification,

504
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:45,960
maybe once or twice a week,

505
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:47,180
or maybe even more frequently,

506
00:21:47,700 --> 00:21:49,680
that's, "Hey, do you remember that thing

507
00:21:49,740 --> 00:21:52,239
"that you thought was so urgent and important

508
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:54,960
and the thing that really bothered you four years ago,

509
00:21:55,360 --> 00:21:56,800
three years ago, six years ago,

510
00:21:57,260 --> 00:21:59,420
that's not really that important anymore, is it?

511
00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:01,500
On the right wing side,

512
00:22:01,580 --> 00:22:04,380
you've got your Bud Light boycotts from a few months ago,

513
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:06,420
and you've got your, oh God,

514
00:22:06,580 --> 00:22:09,480
the Harvard plagiarism scandals or whatever.

515
00:22:09,940 --> 00:22:12,060
On the left side, you've got your changes to like,

516
00:22:12,580 --> 00:22:15,200
I don't know, the Hollywood strike

517
00:22:15,300 --> 00:22:17,200
or whatever the heck's going on this week, right?

518
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:18,560
And then we forget about them.

519
00:22:18,820 --> 00:22:21,420
What if I was put everything into context?

520
00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:33,920
Maybe you even grab some current news stories and like throw them next to this and say, "Hey, this looks like it's about as important as that caravan of Hispanics that was coming across the border that you were really worried about four years ago, but really wasn't even happening."

521
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:42,300
I think everything needs to be contextualized so that we see ourselves in that funhouse mirror and maybe chill out a little bit. How's that?

522
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:48,160
Holding a mirror up to society is very scary, Leo. We don't want to see ourselves. I do really like this idea, though.

523
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:52,700
If you register yourself, you can even use like advertisements, put an ad on

524
00:22:53,500 --> 00:22:58,860
NewYorkTimes.com or FoxNews.com and say like, "Hey, I see this story is really

525
00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:01,880
important. Do you remember when those three other stories were just like this

526
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:05,720
and nothing ended up happening?" I'm not advocating for complete apathy, but

527
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:10,080
maybe tonal, I don't know, bringing everything down by a little bit.

528
00:23:10,130 --> 00:23:10,680
So that's all.

529
00:23:10,780 --> 00:23:15,600
Well, so like one, I have never forgotten when Obama wore that tan suit.

530
00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:17,420
I will never forget that.

531
00:23:18,180 --> 00:23:20,380
I think about that every day, so I

532
00:23:20,380 --> 00:23:21,440
don't think that app will work.

533
00:23:23,539 --> 00:23:23,940
Yeah.

534
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:24,640
But no.

535
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:26,460
Well, this would be pushed too conservative to say,

536
00:23:26,700 --> 00:23:28,320
remember when the war on Christmas

537
00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:30,920
was the thing you mattered the most, or Obama's tan suit,

538
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:31,660
or whatever.

539
00:23:31,660 --> 00:23:32,140
Red Starbucks.

540
00:23:32,180 --> 00:23:33,420
And it ended up not being a big deal.

541
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:34,420
Red Starbucks cups.

542
00:23:34,740 --> 00:23:36,960
I think that was Starbucks that made it up.

543
00:23:37,140 --> 00:23:38,600
But you know, this makes sense.

544
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:39,920
It's like the throwback, right?

545
00:23:40,020 --> 00:23:41,680
Like the throwback feature you get on your Snapchat.

546
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:44,800
It's TimeHop mixed with the New York Times app.

547
00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:46,640
[LAUGHTER]

548
00:23:48,740 --> 00:23:49,100
That's--

549
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:49,880
That's really good.

550
00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:51,880
What a self-realization.

551
00:23:52,060 --> 00:23:53,980
Like, oh, that-- wow, I was so--

552
00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:56,380
I was heated about that topic, wasn't I?

553
00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:57,240
Exactly.

554
00:23:57,780 --> 00:23:59,980
I'm not claiming that this is something that only one

555
00:24:00,100 --> 00:24:01,060
side or the other does.

556
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:03,180
Like, this is a problem for all of society,

557
00:24:03,340 --> 00:24:03,980
I think, at the moment.

558
00:24:04,340 --> 00:24:05,300
I really like this video.

559
00:24:05,300 --> 00:24:05,580
Free Britney.

560
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:06,920
Guys remember this?

561
00:24:07,100 --> 00:24:07,920
Like, that was a--

562
00:24:07,940 --> 00:24:09,260
I mean, whether-- what left--

563
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:09,940
Free Britney.

564
00:24:10,120 --> 00:24:12,040
I still have strong feelings on that, Russell.

565
00:24:12,220 --> 00:24:12,540
Oh, yeah.

566
00:24:12,660 --> 00:24:13,200
Free Britney.

567
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:16,780
No, I mean, that was like a huge deal.

568
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:17,420
Like, I don't even--

569
00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:18,800
- Might be a little too far back, right?

570
00:24:19,180 --> 00:24:19,980
- Is that too far?

571
00:24:20,020 --> 00:24:20,600
I don't even know.

572
00:24:20,740 --> 00:24:21,420
- I don't, maybe not.

573
00:24:21,570 --> 00:24:21,740
I don't know.

574
00:24:21,740 --> 00:24:24,500
- But like perfect time hop, like, oh wow, yeah, I forgot.

575
00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:27,200
We were really, everybody was fighting about that,

576
00:24:27,380 --> 00:24:27,780
weren't they?

577
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:28,440
You know?

578
00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:30,500
- Kony 2012, am I right?

579
00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:32,220
- Right, that's right.

580
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:33,660
You forgot about that.

581
00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:35,460
Who gives a shit now?

582
00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:37,340
But like, damn, people were heated about that time.

583
00:24:37,360 --> 00:24:39,160
- It ended up not even being like a real story.

584
00:24:39,700 --> 00:24:40,280
That's the thing.

585
00:24:40,660 --> 00:24:46,220
these things are just red hot fire 24/7 news coverage for a day or two or three

586
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:51,120
and they a week a month later were proven to not be true at all or to be

587
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:56,080
highly exaggerated or taken out of context so like what if we had this

588
00:24:56,080 --> 00:25:00,920
service providing like a little bit of a Snopes.com thing but far in the future

589
00:25:01,140 --> 00:25:05,800
where everyone's cooled down and you get the like the follow-up closing the loop

590
00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:10,000
satisfaction of conclusion to each one of these stories maybe that would help

591
00:25:09,900 --> 00:25:10,860
tone everyone down a little.

592
00:25:10,860 --> 00:25:11,220
- Oh yeah.

593
00:25:11,460 --> 00:25:13,860
It'd be kind of cool to revisit like a story,

594
00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:15,960
you know, four years later and be like,

595
00:25:15,990 --> 00:25:17,340
all right, I have a fresh perspective.

596
00:25:17,380 --> 00:25:19,180
- I would honestly love to hear the conclusion

597
00:25:19,360 --> 00:25:21,300
of all of these, whatever it is.

598
00:25:21,580 --> 00:25:23,320
- I think Hacker News or Reddit or something

599
00:25:23,500 --> 00:25:26,220
has a view the front page as it was

600
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:27,520
on any particular given day.

601
00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:28,840
And that's always really interesting too.

602
00:25:28,980 --> 00:25:31,780
Like do the Fox Newses and New York Timeses

603
00:25:31,780 --> 00:25:32,580
of the world have that?

604
00:25:32,670 --> 00:25:34,040
I don't think they're incentivized to.

605
00:25:34,420 --> 00:25:34,760
- No way.

606
00:25:35,100 --> 00:25:36,400
- Nope, new stories, new fear.

607
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:37,040
- I guess so.

608
00:25:37,340 --> 00:25:38,240
- Dude, that's a great way.

609
00:25:38,300 --> 00:25:43,140
Like you could sell this as like a service to like New York Times subscribers.

610
00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:49,280
You know, you create the tool and then now like imagine that's ad revenue that

611
00:25:49,540 --> 00:25:54,000
reusing the same article to get more clicks on their site, like literally they

612
00:25:54,020 --> 00:25:57,200
do very little and now they're making the same amount of money.

613
00:25:57,300 --> 00:26:01,280
Like, oh yeah, let me reread that article I read four, five years ago.

614
00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:04,040
Like, oh, I have a different, well, like it's kind of cool.

615
00:26:04,120 --> 00:26:05,560
Cause you have a different perspective on it.

616
00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:06,840
Cause now you know what you know.

617
00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:09,420
You have closure, you have an ending.

618
00:26:10,020 --> 00:26:10,440
Probably not, but--

619
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:11,140
- You know what this could be?

620
00:26:11,460 --> 00:26:14,160
This is a really good premise for like a sub stack

621
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:16,120
or a blog of some kind, a paid newsletter,

622
00:26:16,300 --> 00:26:17,920
where once or twice a week I'm getting a newsletter

623
00:26:18,220 --> 00:26:21,160
and hey, kind of like those Twitter accounts

624
00:26:21,220 --> 00:26:23,440
that are like this day in World War II,

625
00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:25,120
where it's following along in real time,

626
00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:28,500
like this day six years ago politically or whatever.

627
00:26:29,140 --> 00:26:31,560
Like we pick one really important story

628
00:26:31,660 --> 00:26:34,140
that totally fizzles before it got its day

629
00:26:34,300 --> 00:26:35,399
to find conclusions.

630
00:26:35,460 --> 00:26:36,540
- That'd be so, actually, yeah.

631
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:38,820
Like you can do the recent, which is six years ago.

632
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:42,240
You could do one that's 60 years ago, 600 years ago.

633
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:43,420
If they had that.

634
00:26:43,580 --> 00:26:43,920
(laughs)

635
00:26:44,380 --> 00:26:46,180
- You believe these women and their rights to vote?

636
00:26:46,180 --> 00:26:47,600
- Right, like that could have been a thing.

637
00:26:47,940 --> 00:26:49,900
Just that article that was really popular.

638
00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:52,740
- This got a lot of clicks in 1925.

639
00:26:53,620 --> 00:26:54,020
(laughs)

640
00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:55,120
- Right?

641
00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:57,640
How cool would it be?

642
00:26:57,700 --> 00:26:59,580
I guess like I'd be more interested in reading

643
00:26:59,820 --> 00:27:04,360
about history, let's say, through a service like that.

644
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:04,640
Right?

645
00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:11,280
Like you said that's an existing service where I can just like get live tweets of World War two. Oh, yeah

646
00:27:11,580 --> 00:27:13,340
There's this going it was a Twitter thing

647
00:27:13,340 --> 00:27:16,240
I don't know if it's persisted into the post Twitter era

648
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:19,940
but it was like this day in WW2 and it was

649
00:27:20,500 --> 00:27:26,720
like the Allies have just taken this small town in the west of France because it just happened to be like following along in

650
00:27:26,750 --> 00:27:29,460
Real time but X number of years in the past

651
00:27:29,360 --> 00:27:34,860
I would love to follow General MacArthur's Twitter in real time as it's going.

652
00:27:34,860 --> 00:27:35,160
That would be incredible.

653
00:27:35,180 --> 00:27:36,620
It was like briefings from the front.

654
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:39,400
Here's the little bit of progress that was made that one day.

655
00:27:39,660 --> 00:27:42,100
Here's this little tiny thing that happened, but in real time.

656
00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:43,740
And you got like historical photos and stuff.

657
00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:44,060
It's cool.

658
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:46,120
I'm really curious how people would react.

659
00:27:46,540 --> 00:27:50,320
Like I feel like you're just going to start some movement accidentally of just people

660
00:27:50,420 --> 00:27:55,260
seeing I am forced to see this story that I was hoping to be gone from my mind at this

661
00:27:55,340 --> 00:27:58,000
point and now it's back again and I have to think about it again.

662
00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:02,500
There's some eating your medicine with this thing and I'm not quite sure how to give sugar. Oh, no, I love that

663
00:28:02,580 --> 00:28:07,660
It's fantastic. But is this something that people would seek out and want like is this just gonna be awful?

664
00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:12,000
Is this a good experience? I don't know. I I think you're right though

665
00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:16,920
It's gonna open people's eyes to be like, oh my god. I am ingesting so much shit right now

666
00:28:17,260 --> 00:28:19,720
Maybe I don't have to eat shit all day. That's the

667
00:28:20,860 --> 00:28:25,160
It's captivating. I could be cool to see an article like like knowing what the top of our

668
00:28:25,260 --> 00:28:32,600
News cycle is this week this day and then finding a rhyming article from like let's say a hundred years ago, right?

669
00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:39,620
Yeah, and then just being like whoa, like this is a new story, but it was from 1920s and it sounds like relevant today

670
00:28:40,180 --> 00:28:42,260
Right. They say everything comes in cycles

671
00:28:42,380 --> 00:28:47,320
So it'd be cool to watch the cycles go over and over back and if journalism really is dying

672
00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:50,440
Then there's probably a lot of really good writers out there who are looking for a new

673
00:28:50,700 --> 00:28:54,320
Angle a new pivot a new side project or something, right? Yeah

674
00:28:55,120 --> 00:29:01,580
easy like easy Twitter like creation Instagram like follow right and then you just

675
00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:08,300
You literally look at what's trending figure out the history news article post about that and tag

676
00:29:08,620 --> 00:29:11,480
What's the name of this bad boy Leo? Oh

677
00:29:12,380 --> 00:29:13,820
New York time hop time

678
00:29:15,940 --> 00:29:18,360
That's pretty good Chicago times hop

679
00:29:18,180 --> 00:29:18,340
- LA Time Hop.

680
00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:18,740
- Right?

681
00:29:19,700 --> 00:29:20,820
- Yeah, exactly.

682
00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:22,000
LA Time Hop.

683
00:29:22,020 --> 00:29:23,140
- LA Time Hop.

684
00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:23,640
(laughing)

685
00:29:28,580 --> 00:29:31,800
- Okay, Matt, what have you brought for us this week?

686
00:29:32,060 --> 00:29:34,440
- So this one piggybacks a bit off of Scott's,

687
00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:37,540
but just imagine you're sitting in your house

688
00:29:37,780 --> 00:29:38,880
and you look out in your backyard

689
00:29:39,380 --> 00:29:41,720
and you see that just annoying possum

690
00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:43,980
sitting out by in the field.

691
00:29:44,780 --> 00:29:46,499
Or you have chipmunks running around

692
00:29:46,500 --> 00:29:48,120
you're like, what in the world?

693
00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:49,740
How am I, you're in all these chipmunks or

694
00:29:50,130 --> 00:29:51,760
your neighbor's dog runs into the yard and

695
00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:53,360
you're like, get that thing out of there.

696
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:55,860
This is the drone relocate, animal

697
00:29:56,500 --> 00:30:01,480
relocation service that drone just swoops in

698
00:30:01,580 --> 00:30:04,960
out of nowhere, snatches that thing up, takes

699
00:30:04,990 --> 00:30:06,160
it wherever it needs to go.

700
00:30:06,540 --> 00:30:08,300
If it's the chipmunk, yep, that might go to

701
00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:08,720
your neighbor.

702
00:30:09,050 --> 00:30:11,380
If it's your dog, who knows where that might go.

703
00:30:11,500 --> 00:30:14,940
But it's, it's the ethical way of, of

704
00:30:15,060 --> 00:30:16,000
relocating animals.

705
00:30:16,500 --> 00:30:16,940
(laughing)

706
00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:18,560
- All right, all right.

707
00:30:18,820 --> 00:30:21,200
- Whoa, I'm just picturing a dog

708
00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:23,260
like flying down the street in my neighborhood.

709
00:30:23,500 --> 00:30:24,120
(laughing)

710
00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:24,700
(imitating dog barking)

711
00:30:25,300 --> 00:30:25,820
In a net.

712
00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:27,940
- Oh, sorry, I thought it was a coon.

713
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:28,760
(laughing)

714
00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:32,460
- Okay.

715
00:30:32,700 --> 00:30:35,780
- 100% autonomous, AI driven the entire way,

716
00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:37,240
no human input.

717
00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:38,700
- This is just a bodyguard.

718
00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:39,800
- Yeah, absolutely.

719
00:30:39,900 --> 00:30:41,920
So the occasional dog might go flying away,

720
00:30:42,060 --> 00:30:44,340
but it's the cost of doing business.

721
00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:44,940
- Yeah.

722
00:30:45,580 --> 00:30:46,020
(laughing)

723
00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:49,700
- Dude, I would totally drop a stuffed animal dog

724
00:30:49,740 --> 00:30:52,240
in Scott's yard and call this service

725
00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:55,300
and it's just a little stuffed animal flying in the air.

726
00:30:56,300 --> 00:30:57,420
And then of course in Louisiana,

727
00:30:57,540 --> 00:30:58,440
I'd shoot the shit out of it.

728
00:30:58,540 --> 00:30:58,960
I'm sorry.

729
00:30:59,820 --> 00:31:00,300
(laughing)

730
00:31:00,300 --> 00:31:01,540
Oh no.

731
00:31:02,940 --> 00:31:04,220
It wouldn't work out there.

732
00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:07,780
- In prototyping, our AI has picked up on small children.

733
00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:11,740
So, you know, we're still finding some bugs right now.

734
00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:12,580
(laughing)

735
00:31:14,940 --> 00:31:16,700
Remember the balloon incident with the kid?

736
00:31:16,900 --> 00:31:17,240
- Oh yeah, right.

737
00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:18,000
- Several years ago.

738
00:31:18,460 --> 00:31:19,540
- It's like the balloon thing.

739
00:31:19,540 --> 00:31:20,480
- Let's escalate that.

740
00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:22,880
- My New York time hop just pushed that notification to me.

741
00:31:23,060 --> 00:31:24,640
I was supposed to be really mad about that.

742
00:31:24,860 --> 00:31:25,380
Balloon boy.

743
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:25,740
- That's right.

744
00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:29,240
So I think like, so animal services probably

745
00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:30,900
are like extremely underfunded.

746
00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:31,980
You know what I mean?

747
00:31:32,060 --> 00:31:35,780
Like this would totally work kind of to that end.

748
00:31:35,860 --> 00:31:37,740
Like why not just replace all that funding,

749
00:31:38,300 --> 00:31:40,260
put it into like an autonomous drone program

750
00:31:40,380 --> 00:31:42,560
and just like, like, let's say, you know, sure.

751
00:31:42,860 --> 00:31:45,620
It's not surveilling everybody's yards.

752
00:31:46,300 --> 00:31:50,620
Let's say you call 911drones.com or whatever.

753
00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:52,600
I call them, right?

754
00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:53,680
The dot com.

755
00:31:54,060 --> 00:31:57,360
And then they swoop in and they pick up the animal.

756
00:31:57,760 --> 00:31:58,400
Roadkill too.

757
00:31:58,480 --> 00:31:59,200
Skunks, dude.

758
00:31:59,460 --> 00:32:00,220
They need to go.

759
00:32:00,300 --> 00:32:00,620
Roadkill.

760
00:32:00,620 --> 00:32:01,740
Roadkill's a good one.

761
00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:02,120
Yeah.

762
00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:04,140
That's gotta be somebody's job, right?

763
00:32:04,180 --> 00:32:06,360
They don't just let the vultures take care of it.

764
00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:10,100
If it's like a full deer, can we bring it somewhere for processing?

765
00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:10,580
Yuck.

766
00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:12,200
Autonomous car drone.

767
00:32:12,340 --> 00:32:14,200
That's where the car drone comes in, you know?

768
00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:16,040
- What is an autonomous car drone?

769
00:32:16,140 --> 00:32:18,240
Like an RC car with a Raspberry Pi in it?

770
00:32:18,300 --> 00:32:18,880
- It's a Waymo.

771
00:32:19,060 --> 00:32:23,380
It's just a Waymo car with a harpoon at the front.

772
00:32:23,620 --> 00:32:24,080
- Vacuum.

773
00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:25,280
(laughing)

774
00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:28,340
- Shing, just drags the...

775
00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:28,980
(laughing)

776
00:32:30,100 --> 00:32:30,900
- J-Mo with the harpoon.

777
00:32:31,260 --> 00:32:31,420
- Yep.

778
00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:34,020
- And neighborhood cats are a pain too, right?

779
00:32:34,940 --> 00:32:36,840
- 911 drone, get this other cat out of here.

780
00:32:37,060 --> 00:32:40,739
- You could go onto this service's website

781
00:32:40,740 --> 00:32:45,920
and contribute your dog or cat's information to it

782
00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:49,540
so that the drone knows where to deliver it back to.

783
00:32:50,220 --> 00:32:52,640
So that when your cat is a few blocks away,

784
00:32:52,990 --> 00:32:54,780
it scoops it up and brings it back home.

785
00:32:54,780 --> 00:32:57,080
-It scans the chip in the ear. -That's fantastic.

786
00:32:57,260 --> 00:32:59,760
-Looks up the address in a database and brings it home.

787
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:01,380
Hopefully, it haven't moved and updated.

788
00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:04,460
-For every lost dog poster that you see on there,

789
00:33:04,660 --> 00:33:07,360
that's one opportunity for your drone bodyguard

790
00:33:07,370 --> 00:33:08,800
to be the hero of the day.

791
00:33:09,100 --> 00:33:12,220
People would pay a lot of money to find their dogs.

792
00:33:12,260 --> 00:33:12,680
- It's true.

793
00:33:12,860 --> 00:33:13,980
- That's a good idea.

794
00:33:14,140 --> 00:33:15,740
Just scours the neighborhood for it.

795
00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:16,980
Sorry, is this a different topic?

796
00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:17,540
- It's a pivot.

797
00:33:17,900 --> 00:33:18,620
- It's the same.

798
00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:20,600
- A little less hostile.

799
00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:22,400
- It just keeps bringing you dogs

800
00:33:22,500 --> 00:33:25,300
that kind of look like yours until you find the right one.

801
00:33:26,420 --> 00:33:27,960
- They're literally microchipped, Scott.

802
00:33:28,740 --> 00:33:30,020
You have a chip reader on there.

803
00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:32,640
- No, no, we're doing this purely on vision

804
00:33:32,780 --> 00:33:33,420
and nothing else.

805
00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:34,600
- Is this your dog?

806
00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:36,080
Good God, that's a skunk.

807
00:33:37,060 --> 00:33:38,180
- A couple of bugs, it's fine.

808
00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:40,700
- He drops it off at the same spot I found it.

809
00:33:40,740 --> 00:33:41,440
- Oh my God.

810
00:33:41,940 --> 00:33:44,180
- I'm just picturing a very freaked out skunk

811
00:33:44,380 --> 00:33:46,580
flying by, spraying everywhere as it's going.

812
00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:49,040
- It takes their dog, the neighbor's dog,

813
00:33:49,140 --> 00:33:50,560
puts it in a little kennel someplace,

814
00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:52,360
and then when that person calls and says,

815
00:33:52,380 --> 00:33:54,040
"Find my dog," yep, we got it.

816
00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:56,740
Charge 'em with getting their dog back.

817
00:33:56,940 --> 00:33:58,120
- It's a hostage fee.

818
00:33:58,200 --> 00:33:58,780
- Oh man.

819
00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:00,680
- We'll blackmail 'em, I like that.

820
00:34:00,890 --> 00:34:04,340
I don't imagine this service trolling the public streets

821
00:34:04,380 --> 00:34:05,560
looking for lost dogs.

822
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:07,820
(laughing)

823
00:34:07,820 --> 00:34:08,679
Maybe just your property.

824
00:34:08,679 --> 00:34:09,919
- Why not? - Yeah, why not?

825
00:34:10,340 --> 00:34:12,740
You've got a lady dangling from the drone,

826
00:34:13,100 --> 00:34:15,740
holding onto a leash, and the dog is in the drone.

827
00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:18,200
You picked it up on the walk.

828
00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:19,080
(laughing)

829
00:34:19,679 --> 00:34:22,720
- Okay, but like, so you know those people

830
00:34:22,820 --> 00:34:24,740
that do the drones with the glasses,

831
00:34:25,030 --> 00:34:26,500
and they can go super fast?

832
00:34:26,820 --> 00:34:27,060
- Yeah.

833
00:34:27,240 --> 00:34:27,780
- Through like hoops and stuff?

834
00:34:27,780 --> 00:34:29,020
- The VR racing stuff, yeah.

835
00:34:29,399 --> 00:34:32,540
- What if you just had like an outsource company, right,

836
00:34:32,659 --> 00:34:35,100
that all they did was, there's like five dudes in a room,

837
00:34:35,240 --> 00:34:37,120
and they just jump into different cities

838
00:34:37,560 --> 00:34:38,919
where they have those drones and they're like,

839
00:34:39,240 --> 00:34:40,399
find this cat, right?

840
00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:44,440
They got a little picture in their glasses

841
00:34:44,899 --> 00:34:47,260
and they just zoom through.

842
00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:49,860
Yeah, you got like a swarm of five

843
00:34:49,860 --> 00:34:52,340
and they go block by block through an entire city

844
00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:57,240
in 20 minutes 'cause they're wicked fast at what they do

845
00:34:57,800 --> 00:34:58,160
and boom.

846
00:34:59,060 --> 00:34:59,580
- That's fun.

847
00:34:59,620 --> 00:35:02,180
- And like nobody's gonna complain.

848
00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:09,880
I'm sure they have that we haven't incorporated those like VR goggle drone racers into like search and rescue operations

849
00:35:10,020 --> 00:35:14,480
I'm surprised it feels like that's a like we're trying to find that one little girl who's lost in the woods

850
00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:20,460
We got to get the drone racers going on here. That's faster than any is that a thing now Pat? That must be

851
00:35:21,020 --> 00:35:25,040
Yeah, not that not the FPV stuff in that would definitely from above

852
00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:31,680
Sure, sure, but the FPV side. Yeah, I mean you can't see through trees or thermal so absolutely there we go

853
00:35:31,680 --> 00:35:33,040
- Oh, do with the ducking and weaving,

854
00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:35,540
like they're in Endor, that's great.

855
00:35:35,540 --> 00:35:36,200
- They're on a drone.

856
00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:40,960
- Slice the girl's arm off when they finally found her.

857
00:35:42,040 --> 00:35:43,220
- She was like that, I swear.

858
00:35:45,060 --> 00:35:46,700
- Local girl beheaded by rescue.

859
00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:50,440
- Guys, so like how much are people paying

860
00:35:50,580 --> 00:35:52,120
for like pest removal?

861
00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:55,420
Like my dad, I'm sorry, I'm only experiencing this

862
00:35:55,460 --> 00:35:58,660
from like skunks in my actual like parents' place.

863
00:35:58,970 --> 00:36:00,400
He literally would pour, he's like,

864
00:36:00,660 --> 00:36:03,540
I'm just gonna pour bleach down this like hole underneath my porch.

865
00:36:03,980 --> 00:36:04,380
Oh no.

866
00:36:04,420 --> 00:36:06,800
Cause, well, I mean, it's not that they're scared away.

867
00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:08,480
They're scared away, right?

868
00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:11,620
They're not actually in there, gonna go out for the day, but then they come back home

869
00:36:11,620 --> 00:36:13,580
and it's like, "Oh, smells like bleach in here.

870
00:36:13,580 --> 00:36:14,880
We ain't gonna stay in here."

871
00:36:14,880 --> 00:36:15,060
Right?

872
00:36:15,580 --> 00:36:16,860
But that's his solution, right?

873
00:36:17,420 --> 00:36:21,700
What if there was a drone service that just like hung out, monitored, waited for that

874
00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:24,580
skunk to come in, scooped it up.

875
00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:27,139
Like people, like...

876
00:36:27,140 --> 00:36:27,800
(laughs)

877
00:36:29,120 --> 00:36:32,900
People pay a lot of money for skunk removal

878
00:36:33,180 --> 00:36:34,920
and like nuisance skunk removal.

879
00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:37,460
And if you're not killing the animal,

880
00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:40,360
like that's already a huge win and you drop it.

881
00:36:40,390 --> 00:36:42,160
- You're just giving it a freaking it the hell out.

882
00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:43,780
- Yeah, like you can even just,

883
00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:45,920
it doesn't have to be flying there the whole time,

884
00:36:45,940 --> 00:36:47,080
you could literally just place,

885
00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:49,420
you could just Amazon ship the drone,

886
00:36:49,980 --> 00:36:50,860
it just sits on there,

887
00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:54,560
monitors with their 360 camera, okay,

888
00:36:55,780 --> 00:36:59,500
skunk zoom out and then it travels three miles out.

889
00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:02,120
- Could you sell these things as piloted

890
00:37:02,180 --> 00:37:05,240
and less AI and more real to like a pest control,

891
00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:07,760
animal control, municipality department?

892
00:37:08,420 --> 00:37:10,360
Is this something that there'd be any demand for I wonder?

893
00:37:10,660 --> 00:37:13,060
- I know a guy who can sell drones to a municipality.

894
00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:13,560
- Call him.

895
00:37:14,319 --> 00:37:14,680
(laughing)

896
00:37:14,780 --> 00:37:15,280
- Give him a call.

897
00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:16,040
- I think he's on this call.

898
00:37:16,720 --> 00:37:18,460
- I bet they're underfunded and they would be like,

899
00:37:18,860 --> 00:37:20,920
yeah, we don't answer half our calls

900
00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:23,340
because they're just like chipmunks or something, right?

901
00:37:23,660 --> 00:37:25,060
- But we'd love to buy your drone.

902
00:37:25,380 --> 00:37:26,160
(laughing)

903
00:37:27,600 --> 00:37:29,540
If you take off half our workload,

904
00:37:29,740 --> 00:37:30,920
like they don't care, right?

905
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:33,940
And you charge, you just, you invoice some people,

906
00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:36,440
you just send an invoice in the mail for like 50 bucks

907
00:37:36,540 --> 00:37:38,920
for the drone to swing by, right?

908
00:37:39,240 --> 00:37:39,360
- No.

909
00:37:40,580 --> 00:37:40,980
(laughing)

910
00:37:41,300 --> 00:37:43,900
- People get grifted way easier than that, right?

911
00:37:44,180 --> 00:37:44,420
Like, but.

912
00:37:44,540 --> 00:37:45,060
- That's right.

00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:47,620
