Speaker 1: I'm Scott, I'm Russell, and I'm Leo.
Speaker 1: This is Spitball.
Speaker 2: Welcome to Spitball, where three hero hackers and a guest empty our heads of startup and
Speaker 2: tech product ideas that we have stuck up in there so you can all have them for free.
Speaker 2: Anything that we say is yours to keep.
Speaker 2: And this week, I'm so very excited to be welcoming
Speaker 2: our long lost friend, nope,
Speaker 2: the friend that we've had for many, many years, Zoey.
Speaker 2: Zoey, we're so glad to have you here.
Speaker 2: Zoey is someone who's been in emergency management
Speaker 2: and crisis situations since I've met her or shortly after.
Speaker 2: She's gone from campus security
Speaker 2: to actual emergency 911 dispatch,
Speaker 2: to volunteer firefighting,
Speaker 2: to everywhere where there is something stressful happening.
Speaker 2: She is the voice of reason
Speaker 2: and the calm, cool, collected hero.
Speaker 2: We are so excited to have you here, Zoey.
Speaker 2: Welcome to Spitball.
Speaker 3: Thank you so much.
Speaker 3: I'm really happy to be here.
Speaker 2: This is gonna be a good time.
Speaker 2: And of your many hobbies and passions,
Speaker 2: one of them that you've shared with my wife is fibering,
Speaker 2: fibers, knitting and crocheting.
Speaker 2: So I've written a little game that we're gonna call
Speaker 2: Fire Truck or Fiber Tuck.
Speaker 4: In this game, we are-
Speaker 4: (all laughing)
Speaker 4: What podcast are we on?
Speaker 4: - What are we talking?
Speaker 4: (laughing)
Speaker 2: - It's a fiber tuck.
Speaker 2: It's when you connect fibers together, like, you know,
Speaker 2: crocheting.
Speaker 2: - Never done that by myself.
Speaker 2: - Well, you know,
Speaker 3: - It's not really an activity that you do with other people.
Speaker 2: - I was discouraged from going with that name.
Speaker 2: - Oh.
Speaker 2: (laughing)
Speaker 4: - Okay, we're sticking with the name.
Speaker 4: The name's good.
Speaker 4: You're all wrong.
Speaker 4: - All right, let's talk about fiber tucking.
Speaker 4: - Zoey, are you a fibering?
Speaker 4: Are you a fiber?
Speaker 4: - The fiber arts.
Speaker 4: Have you heard this before?
Speaker 4: - Zoey's like.
Speaker 4: - Collectively calling knitting and crocheting
Speaker 2: is fibring.
Speaker 2: - Fibering.
Speaker 4: - Off cam, she's.
Speaker 3: - I'm fibering away.
Speaker 3: I'm tucking my fibers.
Speaker 4: I didn't know that you knew.
Speaker 4: (laughing)
Speaker 4: By the end I'll have a full name.
Speaker 4: - It's a good name, you're all wrong.
Speaker 4: Can you live stream?
Speaker 4: Sorry, okay, I'm gonna stop.
Speaker 2: Anyways.
Speaker 2: The hobbies of emergency management, that's not a hobby,
Speaker 2: the career of emergency management
Speaker 2: and the hobby of crocheting and knitting
Speaker 2: are both filled with lingo.
Speaker 2: And a lot of times those lingos sound like
Speaker 2: they belong to each other.
Speaker 2: So in this game, I'm just gonna give you a term like,
Speaker 2: for example, a Russian join.
Speaker 2: Is that from emergency management
Speaker 2: or is that knitting and crocheting?
Speaker 2: That's of course knitting and crocheting.
Speaker 2: That's when you're knitting and you have two pieces of yarn
Speaker 2: that you need to connect without creating knots
Speaker 2: or needing weaves, right?
Speaker 2: So in this game, we're just gonna go down the line.
Speaker 2: I'll give you a term.
Speaker 2: Tell me if it's one or the other.
Speaker 2: Emergency management or knitting and crocheting
Speaker 2: or fiber tucking if you wanna really lean into the term.
Speaker 2: Okay?
Speaker 4: - Big fan of that.
Speaker 2: - And we'll start as we always do with our guest.
Speaker 2: Zoey, Zoey, frogging.
Speaker 3: - Emergency services.
Speaker 2: - That is ripping out mistakes in the yarn pattern.
Speaker 2: (laughing)
Speaker 3: - Oh no.
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, I really jumped on that.
Speaker 2: - If Zoey's not getting these, we're all screwed.
Speaker 2: - I'm very excited.
Speaker 2: Scott, tinking.
Speaker 2: - Oh gosh.
Speaker 1: I have no idea.
Speaker 1: Emergency services.
Speaker 2: Tink, T-I-N-K is knit, spelled backwards.
Speaker 2: It's moving backwards to remove a knit.
Speaker 2: K-N-I-T-T-I-N-K.
Speaker 2: Russell, tagline.
Speaker 2: Two words.
Speaker 4: - I just want to say, I think that's fiber tucking.
Speaker 2: - That's emergency management.
Speaker 2: It's a control rope to guide steady a load.
Speaker 2: Very good.
Speaker 2: Of course Zoey knows this, she knows all of them.
Speaker 3: - As you pull it up, so it doesn't go all like haywire.
Speaker 2: - You know how I know it's a good game?
Speaker 2: We're 0 for 3, let's do another round.
Speaker 2: (all laughing)
Speaker 2: Despite your mocking and jar-jibbing,
Speaker 2: I'm winning, I'm the one winning tonight.
Speaker 2: (all laughing)
Speaker 2: Zoey, steek, S-T-E-E-K.
Speaker 3: - I'm guessing fibers.
Speaker 2: - You're exactly right.
Speaker 2: That's when you intentionally cut a knit fabric
Speaker 2: to add an opening.
Speaker 2: You've steeked it, or you add a steek, I guess,
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 2: Scott, a rip and run, rip, hyphen, N, hyphen, run.
Speaker 2: - Please be knitting, crocheting, that's my guess.
Speaker 2: - Emergency management, that's when you print
Speaker 2: the dispatch sheet and tear it and take it with you.
Speaker 2: Did you know that, Rowan?
Speaker 3: - Yes, I did.
Speaker 2: - Yes, you did, very good.
Speaker 1: - So are you actively crocheting?
Speaker 1: - I think I'm--
Speaker 3: - Yeah, well, I'm--
Speaker 1: - Yeah, it's on topic.
Speaker 3: - You just said, and I had it sitting here,
Speaker 3: and I was like, well, I might as well do something
Speaker 3: with my hands.
Speaker 3: (laughing)
Speaker 2: - Like tucking.
Speaker 1: - She's answering 911 calls and knitting.
Speaker 1: - It's a fiber tuck.
Speaker 4: Russell, a magic loop.
Speaker 4: - I will 500 for fiber tucking.
Speaker 2: - You're exactly right.
Speaker 2: That's a circular needle trick for small tubes.
Speaker 4: - All my answers are gonna be fiber tucking, so.
Speaker 4: (laughing)
Speaker 2: - Last round through.
Speaker 1: - That's a good strategy.
Speaker 2: - This is the acronym round.
Speaker 2: Zoey, K number two, TOG.
Speaker 2: K2, TOG, T-O-G, emergency management or knitting crocheting.
Speaker 3: - I'm gonna go with fibers.
Speaker 2: Knit to gather.
Speaker 2: Very good, knit together.
Speaker 2: Scott, BOLO, B-O-L-O.
Speaker 2: - Emergency management.
Speaker 2: - Very good, be on the lookout.
Speaker 2: - Hey! - Excellent.
Speaker 2: Russell, SABLE, S-A-B-L-E.
Speaker 4: - Emergency fiber tucking.
Speaker 4: (laughing)
Speaker 2: - Is that?
Speaker 4: - It's fiber tucking, but in an emergency.
Speaker 4: - It is indeed, very good.
Speaker 2: That stands for a stash acquisition beyond life expectancy.
Speaker 2: When you buy so much yarn
Speaker 2: that you don't think you're gonna use it before you die.
Speaker 2: (laughing)
Speaker 2: - Very nice. - Very good.
Speaker 2: I think that there's some of you guys who got one.
Speaker 1: - It's a statistical anomaly.
Speaker 1: I know, we should at least be getting like 50% on these
Speaker 1: with all the random guessing.
Speaker 3: - I decided to just, if I didn't know what it was,
Speaker 3: that it was in fact fibers.
Speaker 3: - That makes sense.
Speaker 3: - I thought about one of my own and I was like,
Speaker 3: the Cleveland load, is that fibers or is that fire trucks?
Speaker 3: I cannot believe that's either.
Speaker 4: I want to write that down.
Speaker 4: I'm going to just start.
Speaker 2: What's a Cleveland load?
Speaker 3: It's when you strap a bunch of hose line together,
Speaker 3: and then you carry it up the stairs
Speaker 3: so that you can have it hooked to an internal system for water.
Speaker 3: Oh.
Speaker 1: Oh, water.
Speaker 3: Water.
Speaker 3: When there's too much, like too many stairs
Speaker 3: to get up to the very top, you hook in on the stairwell.
Speaker 3: If you're ever in a building and you look to the side,
Speaker 3: and there's that big pipe.
Speaker 3: - Yeah.
Speaker 3: - It's for the fire department connect.
Speaker 3: - Nice.
Speaker 3: - That's not the right word, but that's a thing.
Speaker 4: - For the Cleveland load.
Speaker 3: - For the Cleveland load.
Speaker 3: - Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3: And now I feel like I should look it up
Speaker 3: and I feel kind of bad.
Speaker 3: Like maybe it's not right.
Speaker 3: Don't put that in there.
Speaker 3: They're gonna, they'll think I'm not real.
Speaker 3: Second guessing myself.
Speaker 2: - I thought she was real,
Speaker 2: but then she talked about some Cleveland load bullshit.
Speaker 2: - It's the Toledo load.
Speaker 2: That's the, that's.
Speaker 2: - Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 2: - Not the Cleveland load.
Speaker 2: - Who wants to go first this week?
Speaker 4: - I can go.
Speaker 4: I feel like I haven't gone first in a while.
Speaker 2: Russell, you haven't gone first in a minute.
Speaker 2: Russell, what is your idea for us this week?
Speaker 4: All right, so you guys know the term pumpin' iron, okay?
Speaker 4: Pumpin' iron, sure.
Speaker 4: Instead of pumpin' iron, what about makin' kilowatts?
Speaker 4: Maybe this, I hope this isn't an idea
Speaker 4: that we've done already.
Speaker 4: No.
Speaker 4: So why not set up your bike, your treadmill,
Speaker 4: your whatever, to connect to a battery
Speaker 4: that powers your home?
Speaker 4: Okay.
Speaker 4: charges your phone or whatever powers power banks.
Speaker 4: OK, and that's it.
Speaker 4: So like you simply put, you get exercise bikes,
Speaker 4: you power your home.
Speaker 4: What a better motivator to, you know, ride your bike when you feel like you're
Speaker 4: actually doing something that benefits the environment, but also saves you a
Speaker 4: little cash on the side.
Speaker 4: Right. That's it.
Speaker 2: In Soviet Russia, you power your peloton.
Speaker 2: (laughing)
Speaker 3: I think I saw a Black Mirror episode like that.
Speaker 3: (laughing)
Speaker 2: That was mandatory.
Speaker 2: Now you hire a team of 10 people to power your home
Speaker 2: with their bikes in your basement.
Speaker 2: That's it.
Speaker 3: Kind of traumatic.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I like that as a motivation factor though.
Speaker 1: Like you have a TV in front of you,
Speaker 1: but it's only powered as long as you're running on it
Speaker 1: or something.
Speaker 1: Or like your phone will only stay on
Speaker 1: while you're doom scrolling
Speaker 1: as long as you're moving your feet.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Ooh.
Speaker 1: Yes.
Speaker 2: or whatever is charging your iPad, yeah.
Speaker 3: - I think we just solved the obesity crisis.
Speaker 3: (laughing)
Speaker 3: I say we, I mean Russell.
Speaker 4: - Right, that's right.
Speaker 4: One pedal at a time.
Speaker 4: So you could turn this into the power bank.
Speaker 4: You could do the power bank thing, right?
Speaker 4: So, all right, I want 10 power banks.
Speaker 4: They all charge up with my bike in the basement.
Speaker 4: And then now I'm like always charging.
Speaker 4: I always have a charge power bank in my house.
Speaker 2: Do you envision this product being something you add on
Speaker 2: to your existing equipment,
Speaker 2: or is this a full-on Peloton alternative that you're selling?
Speaker 2: It's gotta be the whole kit.
Speaker 4: - That's a good question.
Speaker 2: - One would be easier to put in a box and ship, for sure.
Speaker 4: - I think the add-on would make sense.
Speaker 4: We'll do both, all right?
Speaker 4: We're gonna do both.
Speaker 4: We're gonna have the add-on first,
Speaker 4: and then we're gonna do the bike feature,
Speaker 4: 'cause I think with like 40 pulleys,
Speaker 4: One pedal could generate 1,000 kilowatt hours.
Speaker 4: Is that right?
Speaker 4: And that's a fact.
Speaker 4: Don't look it up.
Speaker 3: I don't know if that math maps.
Speaker 3: Just like the Cleveland mode.
Speaker 3: The Cleveland light.
Speaker 4: Couldn't I just like--
Speaker 2: 1,000 kilowatt hours.
Speaker 2: Anyway, next question.
Speaker 2: Omega watts.
Speaker 2: I was wondering exactly how much power someone for one hour
Speaker 2: pedaling at a decent five mile an hour
Speaker 2: to 10 mile an hour clip would actually generate.
Speaker 2: I have no way to, like, is that enough to charge a phone?
Speaker 2: I don't even know.
Speaker 3: - Sounds like a question for Google.
Speaker 1: - Engineers will figure it out.
Speaker 2: - Yeah, it could be all software.
Speaker 2: Why don't you just like lock out TikTok
Speaker 2: or that office rerun that you're always watching
Speaker 2: or whatever, unless you're actively pedaling.
Speaker 2: Like, does this have to be literally generating kilowatts?
Speaker 2: - Yes. - In case that math
Speaker 2: doesn't math.
Speaker 4: Oh, it does. - No, it has to be
Speaker 4: about generating electricity.
Speaker 4: (laughter)
Speaker 2: - Yeah, duh.
Speaker 2: - I'm a fool for even asking.
Speaker 2: (laughter)
Speaker 4: - So yeah, it's not like a motive,
Speaker 4: like it's not like, that's a good point.
Speaker 4: It's something fun about it.
Speaker 2: - You ready for this?
Speaker 4: - Yes.
Speaker 2: - Kill or wait.
Speaker 2: - Oh.
Speaker 2: - Just came to me in a dream, right now.
Speaker 4: - Same wavelength, same wavelength right there.
Speaker 3: - I had death in this episode, you know?
Speaker 4: - How many petals would it take to heat water
Speaker 4: to turn it into steam, sir?
Speaker 4: (laughter)
Speaker 4: - So much.
Speaker 4: This is my greatest spit pull of all time, but
Speaker 2: No, it's a treadmill in the kitchen and you can't cook unless you're boiling your own water
Speaker 3: Please sir, I'm so hungry
Speaker 4: We're gonna add the martini shaker attachment, okay
Speaker 1: They sell a pink one
Speaker 3: It's double the price, no big deal.
Speaker 4: Yeah, right, exactly.
Speaker 4: You could put it then in the middle of a party,
Speaker 4: and now people could make their drinks by pedaling.
Speaker 4: [LAUGHTER]
Speaker 2: So like, powers a blender, like a shaker.
Speaker 3: Or you could just get an exercise, like an arm workout,
Speaker 3: with the shaker.
Speaker 3: They had shake weights.
Speaker 3: Wasn't that a thing?
Speaker 3: Shouldn't they just have put some ice cubes and some liquor
Speaker 3: inside of it?
Speaker 4: All right, I'm going to keep spitballing on this,
Speaker 4: 'Cause what if you pressurized?
Speaker 4: So there was this concept where if you pressurize something,
Speaker 4: you can cool things or heat things up, right?
Speaker 4: So what if you're pedaling and it actually is creating
Speaker 4: a bunch of pressure in a can and turning it into heat,
Speaker 4: but then that heat turns into electricity?
Speaker 4: (laughs)
Speaker 1: - Is that how science works?
Speaker 2: - I don't think I'm keeping any of this in.
Speaker 4: - Somebody's gotta be an engineer on this call.
Speaker 2: tell me how crazy this is yeah I'm picturing you by the roadside pulling
Speaker 2: out your bike and pedaling to pump up your tire because you don't have an
Speaker 1: actual pump with you but you've got this no but the pump creates steam
Speaker 1: which then creates steam
Speaker 3: like crap I only brought my martini shaker
Speaker 1: it's like 18 steps but then it gives you electricity at the end
Speaker 1: and then I can make a martini at the end
Speaker 1: (laughing)
Speaker 2: I got a flat on the side of the highway,
Speaker 2: but I got my step goal for the day.
Speaker 2: Close my rings on the side of the highway.
Speaker 2: (laughing)
Speaker 1: - Oh God.
Speaker 1: - Hey. - Listen,
Speaker 4: I'm not the first person.
Speaker 4: I bet there's some, some,
Speaker 4: 'cause, okay, why this came to me was,
Speaker 4: when you're on a bike and you're pedaling,
Speaker 4: it'll actually tell you how many watts you're generating
Speaker 4: while you're biking.
Speaker 3: - Oh, you're right. - Did you know that?
Speaker 3: - It does that.
Speaker 3: The Peloton does it too.
Speaker 3: - Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: I've sat down at a bike before, a stationary bike,
Speaker 2: where the console is like off,
Speaker 2: and then it doesn't turn on until you start pedaling,
Speaker 2: because it's using your pedal as part of its power source.
Speaker 2: So this is a thing, but I don't--
Speaker 2: I'm feeling used. Yeah, I guess
Speaker 2: we're not collecting. (laughs)
Speaker 2: You're just wasting electricity.
Speaker 2: It's just not collecting the extra.
Speaker 2: I guess so.
Speaker 4: Okay, what if you put all these in a gym,
Speaker 4: and now you get 40 people to create enough electricity
Speaker 4: where it actually makes sense?
Speaker 2: - To power the gym.
Speaker 2: - The gym.
Speaker 2: - To power the person at the front desk's TikTok.
Speaker 1: - Their tablet to check you in.
Speaker 4: - With LED light bulbs, okay, technology has gone.
Speaker 4: You can take what, a power bank and power an LED.
Speaker 4: Sure, the HVAC unit, no, all right?
Speaker 4: All right, we're not talking HVAC, all right?
Speaker 3: We're talking-- - We need more people.
Speaker 3: (laughing)
Speaker 2: - Economies of scale, hundreds.
Speaker 4: - Bring 'em in. - Mush, mush, mush.
Speaker 4: Listen, we put it in a prison, okay?
Speaker 4: And then now...
Speaker 3: They did this!
Speaker 3: This was a real thing!
Speaker 4: Zoey, do you know this is...
Speaker 4: Are you serious?
Speaker 4: Which part of this?
Speaker 3: Yeah, they had people stepping on this like treadmill
Speaker 3: and it moved water and then...
Speaker 4: What?
Speaker 4: That's how they got water.
Speaker 4: Yes, it's a real thing.
Speaker 4: This happened in a prison?
Speaker 4: Yes, see guys?
Speaker 3: Yes, it was a prison.
Speaker 4: What are we doing?
Speaker 4: We are just human batteries storing energy.
Speaker 4: And we could just, if we could translate,
Speaker 2: we could turn that energy.
Speaker 2: - Turning Doritos into charged phones.
Speaker 3: - Yeah. - All right, I got it.
Speaker 3: In the 19th century, there were penal treadmills.
Speaker 3: - Wait. - Remembering large,
Speaker 3: wide wheel, I don't think I'm saying that right.
Speaker 2: - Did you say penal?
Speaker 2: - You said it right. - Penal treadmills.
Speaker 3: - I did.
Speaker 2: - Don't let him dissuade you, you got it.
Speaker 3: - All right, resembling large, wide wheels
Speaker 3: fitted with steps and the prisoners were sentenced
Speaker 3: to hard labor.
Speaker 3: They climbed the steps repeatedly,
Speaker 3: causing the entire wheel to rotate
Speaker 1: and the tread wheels were--
Speaker 1: -They literally put prisoners in hamster wheels
Speaker 1: and said, "Power the city."
Speaker 3: -They've used them to pump water.
Speaker 4: -I'm just the first genius to commercialize it.
Speaker 4: All right? We just used it to pump water.
Speaker 2: -I got to say, if I had a choice in my home
Speaker 2: between having another stationary bike or a giant wheel,
Speaker 2: that sounds like a cooler way to exercise.
Speaker 4: -That would be cool.
Speaker 3: -I don't know, these people look pretty sad in the pictures.
Speaker 3: (laughing)
Speaker 4: - All right, Leah, let's see if you can top
Speaker 4: that one this week.
Speaker 2: - All right, I almost transitioned away a little early.
Speaker 2: I'm glad I didn't cut you off,
Speaker 2: but you were talking about your martini shaker.
Speaker 2: So my coworker and I were discussing earlier this week
Speaker 2: that we both have a similar method of cooking,
Speaker 2: which is to say we wing it.
Speaker 2: You have your, uh, I guess I'll shake some of this and some of that and cook it for
Speaker 2: until it feels vibey in the right, whatever.
Speaker 2: And that is a great way to make really delicious stuff sometimes and not so good
Speaker 2: stuff sometimes and never be able to recreate it.
Speaker 2: So I am here, Sharks, today to pitch you a idea for either a feature on an existing
Speaker 2: home camera setup, or maybe we just white label and make our own cameras that go
Speaker 2: around the kitchen and track only what you are doing
Speaker 2: when you are cooking.
Speaker 2: You are grabbing this much of the oregano
Speaker 2: and adding two eggs and this and that.
Speaker 2: You can show the camera that, you know,
Speaker 2: jar of whatever spice you're working with and stuff
Speaker 2: if you think that's helpful,
Speaker 2: or maybe there's a tagging system, I don't know.
Speaker 2: So that at the end, it just outputs what you did.
Speaker 2: Here's my recipe without having to write it down.
Speaker 2: And then you can maybe even keep track
Speaker 2: of rating these things and storing what worked
Speaker 2: and what didn't.
Speaker 2: And wow, when I used more butter on those cookies,
Speaker 2: it seemed like it went well.
Speaker 2: It'll help you find those patterns
Speaker 2: across multiple attempts of the same recipe
Speaker 2: and try to come at the perfect result.
Speaker 1: I love that.
Speaker 1: I also want that for alcohol.
Speaker 1: What?
Speaker 1: What do you mean?
Speaker 1: I want it to just mix random things in a drink,
Speaker 1: and then it comes back and generates a name for it,
Speaker 1: and it tells me what was in that drink,
Speaker 1: 'cause I was probably too drunk to figure it out
Speaker 1: at that time.
Speaker 1: (laughing)
Speaker 2: - That was Bud Light again, boss.
Speaker 2: I don't know why you keep asking.
Speaker 1: - Still Bud Light.
Speaker 1: Every time you ask.
Speaker 1: - Ingredients, one, Bud Light.
Speaker 1: (laughing)
Speaker 1: Recipe name, Bud Light.
Speaker 1: - Bud Light on the rocks.
Speaker 1: (laughing)
Speaker 2: - What kind of rocks?
Speaker 2: I say you don't wanna know.
Speaker 2: - Bud Light meat.
Speaker 2: - I guess there were two ingredients.
Speaker 3: - Shaken in the martini shaker.
Speaker 2: - Is this a problem, Zoey, for you?
Speaker 2: You're a fantastic cook.
Speaker 2: Do you, are you a by the books,
Speaker 2: follow the recipe person? Are you a wing it and go by vibes?
Speaker 3: Only with baking. Baking is more of a science. Cooking is more of an art.
Speaker 2: For sure. And would you consider yourself one, the other, or both?
Speaker 3: Oh, I'm definitely a cook. I am not a baker. We'll leave that to other people.
Speaker 2: So you're not a recipe person then?
Speaker 3: I'll follow one if it's in front of me. Or I'll be like, "Bill, read this." I don't need to read.
Speaker 2: Do you have the problem of, "Oh man, that was an amazing pot pie. I would never be able to
Speaker 2: recreate this." Or do you kind of keep track of it in your brain?
Speaker 3: Keep track of it. Oh, I feel like that's not a fun thing to say.
Speaker 2: Be like, oh, that's great. I'm just so this is a problem for only some people.
Speaker 2: What I think is an A.I. Zoey and I can't hire you to sit in my kitchen and watch me do it bad
Speaker 2: for an hour and then tell me here's what you did, dummy. So I need someone like you.
Speaker 4: That's not you because you're busy. I do that, too, Leah. I do what you do.
Speaker 4: But I've I've simplified. I just now get a bunch of pre mixed. What are they called?
Speaker 2: Lean cuisine.
Speaker 2: (laughter)
Speaker 1: Pre-mixed lean cuisine.
Speaker 1: That was really sad.
Speaker 4: That was way too poignant.
Speaker 4: I consider myself a chef also.
Speaker 4: I get the, what do they call it?
Speaker 4: Damn it, I can't.
Speaker 4: Spice blends, okay?
Speaker 2: Oh, sure.
Speaker 4: And all I do, the simplest way I can make a meal is
Speaker 4: chicken, pan, spice, right?
Speaker 4: Just the pre-mix, right?
Speaker 4: Heat.
Speaker 4: Heat. And it usually comes out--
Speaker 4: for it. Real good. I did. It's to keep my fridge on. No spice tonight unless you pedal.
Speaker 4: My electric stove. But that's my trick. But like to that end though, there's always like
Speaker 4: I think of the vegetable drawer. Yeah. So you make one meal that's recipe, right? All
Speaker 4: right. I need this much stuff. And then you but then you have all this extra. I have two
Speaker 4: Two extra buns, I have three extra carrots,
Speaker 4: I have two extra celery, and a half pound of ground beef.
Speaker 4: Throw it in a pot, put it on some burger buns,
Speaker 4: and now I got some vegetable sloppy joes, right?
Speaker 3: - There you go. - Sure.
Speaker 4: - Right, I mean, a little bit like that, right?
Speaker 4: Maybe with some barbecue sauce?
Speaker 3: - Yeah, just reconstitute it, make it.
Speaker 4: - Cook it long enough, it turns out, you know?
Speaker 3: Reconstitute. - What do I call that?
Speaker 4: - What do you call that? - The fiber tucking?
Speaker 3: - Must go. - Oh.
Speaker 3: - Must go. - Everything in the fridge
Speaker 3: must go, like. - Ah.
Speaker 3: - Ah. - Yeah.
Speaker 2: - Very good.
Speaker 2: - Musco. - Thank you.
Speaker 3: Yeah, everything.
Speaker 2: - My dad used to take old expired cereal
Speaker 2: that we weren't gonna eat anymore
Speaker 2: and like bread chicken with it and stuff.
Speaker 2: Like it really weird with whatever was going
Speaker 2: in the cabinet bad.
Speaker 2: - What does chicken with fruity pebbles taste like?
Speaker 2: - Yeah, we had stuff like that before.
Speaker 2: It wasn't good.
Speaker 3: - What a childhood.
Speaker 2: - Yeah, but I think I am a bad cook
Speaker 2: and a creative just make it, wing it cook
Speaker 2: because that's the environment
Speaker 4: fostered in right? You can make spice blends real good if right? Is that what
Speaker 4: you're saying too? Like you were saying yeah and then you just throw it all
Speaker 4: together in a pan if you just know how much of each it's just that's the hard
Speaker 4: part right? If you throw too much paprika it's like oh you can't solve it you just
Speaker 2: eat through it. It could do some trend analysis the last three times that you made something
Speaker 2: like this you said it was too spicy every time try it you know I can coach
Speaker 4: you a little bit. Yeah dude this is recipe development I think 101 you just
Speaker 4: experiment around long enough and you find out something that you really like,
Speaker 4: right? So it's just note-taking. That makes sense. Just note-taking.
Speaker 2: Without the writing down notes. "You really like chicken."
Speaker 3: Sorry, that was my Alexa voice, but I can't hear myself. It's Zolexa.
Speaker 2: Thank you. Can you tell me a bad one? Tell me a bad one, Leo.
Speaker 4: - Oh, you're, like a-- - Recipe?
Speaker 4: - Yeah, did you ever, have you ever made something
Speaker 4: that's just like been awful?
Speaker 4: Yeah, Scott has.
Speaker 1: - David Webster put in, he said,
Speaker 1: oh, we have Chinese five spice.
Speaker 1: You should add some of this in.
Speaker 1: And he dumped in like the entire thing.
Speaker 1: And this is back in college when you're like
Speaker 1: feeding yourself for a week at a time with it.
Speaker 1: And I ate that slop of Chinese five spice
Speaker 1: that tasted like Christmas for a goddamn week.
Speaker 1: And I can never go back to that flavor.
Speaker 3: - Was it pasta?
Speaker 1: It was like, you know some variation of pasta by the end of it. I do not want the recipe for that one
Speaker 2: Where did it go wrong? I wish I had an assistant to tell me I
Speaker 2: This this wouldn't have been fixed by a I coach
Speaker 2: But I was making a like a zucchini and turkey ground turkey burger and I couldn't figure out why they were so watery
Speaker 2: Like they were really like weird the texture wasn't right and then I realized I had bought a cucumber and not a zucchini
Speaker 2: So awful I
Speaker 3: Wish I could give you this side device could give you some like preventative measures be like hold the phone
Speaker 2: That's not a zucchini
Speaker 3: If you leave that turned on any longer, it will start a fire see no joke life and safety
Speaker 2: I will say when bacon is in an airfryer
Speaker 2: It goes from crisping nicely to burn smoky mess in about 30 seconds
Speaker 3: And if I could have a little guy who's watching that for me, that would be helpful. I feel similarly about avocados
Speaker 3: What are they good? Yeah, they're like good for a minute and 50 seconds. Yeah
Speaker 2: Hard hard hard hard hard good brown. Damn it. I missed it again
Speaker 3: If somebody could tell me what that's gonna be like the perfect opportunity then I would love that. That'd be good
Speaker 3: Optimal ripeness, that's interesting. Yes, there's gonna be like an algorithm for that, right?
Speaker 3: We'll be perfectly ripe on Tuesday at 12 p.m. Between 12 p.m. and 12 o'clock
Speaker 1: This is your window wake up at 3 a.m.
Speaker 2: Sticking needles into your food
Speaker 2: Trying to like extract and mix chemicals to figure out when optimal ripeness will be it's a whole set
Speaker 4: - You know there is some person that would take that,
Speaker 4: love that alarm idea and literally wake up at 3 a.m.
Speaker 1: being like, yes, my best avocado is slightly better
Speaker 1: than it could have been.
Speaker 1: - Yes, so good.
Speaker 1: - And then you could never go back either.
Speaker 1: Once you start trying it there, you're just like,
Speaker 1: I have to do this forever now.
Speaker 2: - I've had the perfect avocado at 3 a.m.
Speaker 2: and it changed my life.
Speaker 4: - My avocado alarm's gonna go off in three hours,
Speaker 4: I gotta stay up for it.
Speaker 2: - Alarm-ocado.
Speaker 4: - Leo, I've made a mistake,
Speaker 4: I've made that same mistake with coriander
Speaker 4: instead of cinnamon.
Speaker 2: - Ah, yes.
Speaker 2: That's a spicy one.
Speaker 2: That's a spicy meatball.
Speaker 4: - And it ruins the whole thing.
Speaker 4: - Put cinnamon in your meatballs?
Speaker 4: - What were you making?
Speaker 4: - I was making a cinnamon,
Speaker 4: I had extra biscuits that you get in the tins.
Speaker 4: - Grams?
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, like Pillsbury.
Speaker 4: - That's the what, Pillsbury ones?
Speaker 4: And then I wanted to, I'm like,
Speaker 4: what are we gonna do with this?
Speaker 4: So I was like, oh, you can throw cinnamon, sugar on it,
Speaker 4: turn it into like monkey bread real quick, right?
Speaker 4: Nope, not with coriander, can't do that.
Speaker 4: So if we could be more like free-flow-y
Speaker 4: without making a mistake like that,
Speaker 4: but I guess it was the spice wasn't even labeled correctly.
Speaker 4: So it's not like I would have tried to.
Speaker 2: - That's a tough one for an AI
Speaker 2: if you're an unlabeled spice person.
Speaker 4: - Yeah, that was a--
Speaker 3: - What kind of life are you living?
Speaker 4: - That was like, I don't know why I mixed.
Speaker 4: So this is what happened.
Speaker 4: just like yelling into the middle of the kitchen like,
Speaker 4: "I don't know, it smells like nutmeg."
Speaker 4: (laughing)
Speaker 1: - It's either nutmeg or chili powder.
Speaker 4: - I bought coriander and then I wanted to make
Speaker 4: cinnamon sugar so like I could put it on French toast
Speaker 4: and all that other stuff.
Speaker 4: And so that's what happened.
Speaker 4: I've been using coriander sugar instead of cinnamon sugar.
Speaker 4: And I never used it after the--
Speaker 4: - How was it?
Speaker 4: - It was awful and I'm like,
Speaker 4: "All right, I don't know why this,
Speaker 4: "I don't know why cinnamon sugar sucks now."
Speaker 3: - My childhood was way different than this.
Speaker 2: - My cinnamon sugar is just not like the store bought stuff.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: (laughing)
Speaker 4: - And so I'm using,
Speaker 4: and then I ended up like keeping it in my cabinet forever.
Speaker 4: And then I'm like, all right, I gotta get rid of this.
Speaker 4: So then I turned it into that biscuit thing
Speaker 4: and then I realized it was coriander this whole time.
Speaker 4: So.
Speaker 4: - Yep.
Speaker 2: And now you have cinnamon sugar?
Speaker 4: - Yeah.
Speaker 4: Now I have cinnamon and now I have sugar
Speaker 4: cause I'm never gonna make that mistake again.
Speaker 4: Just not gonna, not gonna pre-mix cinnamon sugar.
Speaker 4: - Fool me once.
Speaker 2: All right, Scott, what's your idea for this week?
Speaker 1: I am excited because I actually have a hardware idea this week.
Speaker 1: I have recently moved and in the last two weeks I have turned the heat on for the first
Speaker 1: time because it's fall/winter now and learned pretty quick that my house does not hold heat
Speaker 1: very well and it is a large house and I do not need to heat all of it at the same time
Speaker 1: when it's just me there.
Speaker 1: So, Leo and I have played with these little fan things
Speaker 1: before that you stick into your vents
Speaker 1: and they force more air out into certain rooms on there.
Speaker 1: And I've had an idea for a while where like,
Speaker 1: well, couldn't you just like IOT these guys
Speaker 1: and like have vents where it just shuts off
Speaker 1: different rooms at different times so that,
Speaker 1: hey, I'm not in this room over here,
Speaker 1: we don't need to pull heat into that.
Speaker 1: But my experience with those little fan things
Speaker 1: that blow up is one, they kinda suck,
Speaker 1: And two, there is no universal thing
Speaker 1: that fits into every room in your house,
Speaker 1: or every type of vent that you can close off
Speaker 1: and open and close them.
Speaker 1: So what I wanna do is just take a goddamn air bladder,
Speaker 1: something that I can just like with a little fan on it,
Speaker 1: shove it inside each of my vents,
Speaker 1: and the whole thing just blows up
Speaker 1: to block out the vent fully,
Speaker 1: and then deflates itself to shut it completely.
Speaker 1: That way it's completely universal,
Speaker 1: and it'll just have some smarts to it
Speaker 1: where, hey, you haven't been in this room in a long time.
Speaker 1: We're not going to heat that room at all.
Speaker 1: And that's the whole idea.
Speaker 1: That's great.
Speaker 1: That's it.
Speaker 3: How does it know you're in the room?
Speaker 1: Motion sensors?
Speaker 2: That's a great question.
Speaker 3: You put a tag on you.
Speaker 3: And then as you go from room to room, it tracks you.
Speaker 3: I'm like--
Speaker 3: Honestly?
Speaker 2: You have to implant a chip.
Speaker 1: I like that.
Speaker 1: It just takes your RSSI of your Bluetooth from your phone
Speaker 1: to be like, oh, you're closer to this room.
Speaker 1: I'm going to turn off the ear bladder
Speaker 1: so this room actually heats up or something
Speaker 1: and just gathers data over time with that.
Speaker 2: There are so many ways to detect presence.
Speaker 2: The newest Philips Hue Hub, the Hue Hub Pro or whatever,
Speaker 2: it uses the signal between the different light bulbs
Speaker 2: to know, oh, that was a couple of milliseconds
Speaker 2: slower than usual, so there must be someone in that room.
Speaker 2: It has motion sensing via the connection.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Oh, I hate that.
Speaker 2: There's that, there's IR, there's your millimeter waves.
Speaker 2: There's so many different ways to figure out
Speaker 2: which room you're in right now.
Speaker 2: What?
Speaker 1: Wi-Fi even I know that's spooky. That's crazy. Yes. It is spooky. That's the right word for that. Yeah, but if you're comfortable
Speaker 1: Save several dollars on my heat my house
Speaker 2: Surely ducts are like a standardized size, right? Couldn't this be like a system of flaps or something?
Speaker 1: That's what I would have thought about the damn vents, but every single one was different
Speaker 4: But what's nice about the air bladder thing is it's probably really compact, right?
Speaker 4: You just stick it on the side and then when you want it to fill it'll just fill it up, right?
Speaker 2: It's super low profile. Well, just a question. I'm picturing a large whoopee cushion. How is it filling?
Speaker 2: What is it filling with air air from what like a fan the air?
Speaker 2: It's like a big parachute. That's like air compressor having the air going down the vent
Speaker 2: All day all night
Speaker 1: Mommy I hear something in the walls. The deflates would be hilarious on there. Just your father
Speaker 1: It's a good good good good ghost. I mean this would be great for just daytime nighttime
Speaker 4: The amount of money you'd save the amount that electric companies would pay for that
Speaker 4: Like they subsidize nests, right? If they could yeah, they would pay for these
Speaker 2: It means that they could save less money in the grid or whatever right? Less time that your furnace is blowing. Yeah
Speaker 4: for a hole, you know, like you just do it better because literally the air vents
Speaker 4: stop from going. That's awesome. That is amazing. So put some smarts on it so that
Speaker 1: all of them don't inflate at once. That would probably be bad.
Speaker 1: Boom!
Speaker 4: Well yeah, what would happen if you did that? Just cut off all the vents.
Speaker 4: I think that.
Speaker 2: You ever watch a Bax fan fall over?
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 2: That's not pleasant.
Speaker 4: That is such a real thing, right?
Speaker 4: It's "Wooooom!"
Speaker 2: It's like that, but it's your house's infrastructure.
Speaker 2: You just know it's unhappy.
Speaker 4: It's just your house's infrastructure.
Speaker 2: Cool idea. I like that. That is a unique approach that I don't think anyone's done before.
Speaker 1: All I need is a Meyer bag and a small air compressor.
Speaker 2: Plastic grocery bag!
Speaker 2: That could work!
Speaker 2: Reduce, reuse, recycle. Gary Green.
Speaker 1: Alright, Zoey, what have you brought us this week?
Speaker 3: Well, hello. I don't know if you know this about me. I don't know. How do you start this?
Speaker 3: Nailed it. So I'm I'm a reader. I'm a reader of books typically and
Speaker 3: Of a certain type of books that some may call smut
Speaker 3: Okay, I typically call them
Speaker 3: romanticy and I get personally annoyed when the character is
Speaker 3: Just way too young. So I'm looking at they're always like 19 year olds are old saving the world always of age
Speaker 3: But always just like a little ick
Speaker 3: So I would like an app or something I can attach to my Kindle
Speaker 3: That will make it will increase the age of the female character
Speaker 3: by like 20 years
Speaker 2: 20 years. Yes, please. How young are these girls?
Speaker 3: 19 apparently, all of them.
Speaker 2: Oh, geez.
Speaker 2: Okay, okay.
Speaker 3: So, that would be something that I would like.
Speaker 3: And not only that, I would, so a couple different things I would like it to change about the
Speaker 3: books I'm reading.
Speaker 3: One is I would like to change the age, obviously.
Speaker 3: And then I'd also like to change the names of some of the characters.
Speaker 3: Not so long ago, I was reading a book and the main character, the villain, actually,
Speaker 3: was named Philip.
Speaker 3: (laughing)
Speaker 1: - That's your husband's name.
Speaker 3: - That is my husband's name.
Speaker 3: And I was mad at him for like the entire time
Speaker 3: I was reading the book.
Speaker 3: And he does enough things wrong on his own,
Speaker 3: he doesn't need any help.
Speaker 3: (laughing)
Speaker 2: - Okay.
Speaker 3: - So I want it to be changing the name of the villain
Speaker 3: to something else so that my husband stays out of trouble.
Speaker 1: - When this changes the age of your character,
Speaker 1: Is it just like, hey, I find the number 19
Speaker 1: and I change that to 40?
Speaker 1: Or is it like, I see that they're on Snapchat.
Speaker 1: I'm going to rewrite that to Facebook sort of thing?
Speaker 1: Ooh.
Speaker 3: That's kind of mean.
Speaker 3: But no.
Speaker 3: The--
Speaker 3: [LAUGHTER]
Speaker 3: It's a-- yeah, it's a number substitution.
Speaker 4: Just the number.
Speaker 4: MySpace.
Speaker 4: [LAUGHTER]
Speaker 1: MySpace.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 4: You know, it figures it out.
Speaker 4: No, that makes sense, though.
Speaker 4: Less-- I don't know.
Speaker 4: If they're 19, Zoey, are there things
Speaker 4: that they do that are very 19?
Speaker 4: Or are they just putting the age as 19
Speaker 4: and they're doing 36-year-old, 32-year-old things?
Speaker 2: - Why even mention their age?
Speaker 3: - I think you make a good point there
Speaker 3: because if they're 36 years old,
Speaker 3: are they making these bad mistakes,
Speaker 3: the 19-year-old characters?
Speaker 3: Or are they just tired and they're like,
Speaker 3: "I am not saving the world.
Speaker 3: "The world has enough problems of its own.
Speaker 3: "I'm just gonna take a nap."
Speaker 3: Back to my hand crafting.
Speaker 4: - I'm going to bed at 10, are you kidding me?
Speaker 4: Phillip is keeping you awake the whole time, right?
Speaker 4: That's why you gotta change the name.
Speaker 2: - I mean, the fact that you're reading this on a Kindle,
Speaker 2: right, it's gotta be like a feature
Speaker 2: that Kindle could just add in their OS.
Speaker 2: It doesn't need to be another device.
Speaker 2: We're so close.
Speaker 3: - I would pay such money for this.
Speaker 2: - Maybe even the authors could like write variables,
Speaker 2: like take in the reader's demographics.
Speaker 2: If they are female, then describe the men in more detail.
Speaker 2: And if they are of this age,
Speaker 2: and make everyone else their cohort
Speaker 2: and that kind of stuff, right?
Speaker 2: We need like choose your own adventure
Speaker 2: that dynamically adjusts at book open time.
Speaker 3: - This is a pick a path, but it's like pick an age.
Speaker 2: - You don't even know that you're on the path, right?
Speaker 2: It's just, you've set once in your Kindle, your birth date
Speaker 2: and how you identify in so many ways,
Speaker 2: your hobbies, your whatever,
Speaker 2: and books like customize a little bit to you.
Speaker 4: - That's a great service.
Speaker 3: - Just ages it with you.
Speaker 3: - Yeah. - Yeah.
Speaker 4: You can sell these to authors, right?
Speaker 4: So you can keep the heart and the concept of the novel.
Speaker 4: And then you work with the author
Speaker 4: to create the two or three cringe-free variations, right?
Speaker 4: 'Cause that's what they don't wanna have happen, right?
Speaker 4: Is like your reader cringes
Speaker 4: because of something small like that.
Speaker 4: Or, well, I mean, it's not small
Speaker 4: because it's annoying the whole time.
Speaker 4: 'Cause now you have this whole image
Speaker 4: that's completely different.
Speaker 4: So like, cringe mode, like you can set different settings
Speaker 4: and all this other stuff.
Speaker 4: And then, like, there you go.
Speaker 4: You work with authors, publishers to make more book sales
Speaker 4: because you can set variations.
Speaker 2: - I would love to set my settings to be like,
Speaker 2: totally not me and see how that affects like,
Speaker 2: do I even understand what's happening here?
Speaker 2: Damn fam, that slaps.
Speaker 2: What?
Speaker 2: Like, this is in Zoomer mode, I guess,
Speaker 2: or whatever, gen alpha slang.
Speaker 2: (laughing)
Speaker 4: - That'd be interesting.
Speaker 2: - I just realized my example is extremely heteronormative,
Speaker 2: like white cis male.
Speaker 2: Like, get it?
Speaker 2: 'Cause women like men.
Speaker 2: Obviously you'd set your preferences and stuff.
Speaker 4: - Could I make it so that my wife,
Speaker 4: when she's reading books,
Speaker 4: is only putting my name in there
Speaker 4: instead of somebody else's?
Speaker 3: - Even better. - Wow.
Speaker 3: - Yes.
Speaker 4: - Whoa.
Speaker 2: - Christian mode.
Speaker 3: - I am so in love with you right now.
Speaker 3: You would not believe this book I was reading.
Speaker 3: Had your name in every character.
Speaker 1: - Russell, the captain of the NFL hockey team.
Speaker 1: - That's right.
Speaker 1: (laughter)
Speaker 2: - Did you say the NFL hockey team?
Speaker 1: - I just fucked up, I know.
Speaker 1: As soon as that came out of my mouth.
Speaker 2: - That's the best.
Speaker 2: I was gonna say like, it's parental controls too,
Speaker 2: so like, things got steamy when they held hands.
Speaker 2: Aw, mom must not let me read that part,
Speaker 2: so it censored it out and put something dumb in.
Speaker 2: (laughter)
Speaker 3: - Or it could take the names and make them
Speaker 3: like, gender ambiguous or, you know.
Speaker 4: - Oh, true, true.
Speaker 4: - It's a pat.
Speaker 3: Everyone's Patton Ashley.
Speaker 3: No, no, like two different names, not like everybody's--
Speaker 3: Ashley's doing so good.
Speaker 3: [LAUGHTER]
Speaker 2: Batting, batting Ashley.
Speaker 2: [LAUGHTER]
Speaker 2: I knew what you meant.
Speaker 2: Everyone's Patton Ashley.
Speaker 2: I knew what you meant.
Speaker 2: I think that there's a subset of interactive medium forward
Speaker 2: authors who would be excited about this,
Speaker 2: and you're gonna make a lot of authors extremely angry.
Speaker 2: Like, "How could you compromise the craft?
Speaker 2: Of course I wanna say exactly what this character is.
Speaker 2: It's my character."
Speaker 2: But like-
Speaker 4: - Have you put down a book, Zoey,
Speaker 4: because it's just been so cringe?
Speaker 4: Like right at the beginning,
Speaker 4: or like once a character comes out and you're like,
Speaker 3: "Oh gosh, I can't read this anymore."
Speaker 3: - Yeah.
Speaker 3: Anytime the character's name is Russell,
Speaker 3: I'm like, "Oh God, no."
Speaker 4: (laughing)
Speaker 4: - Barf! - That's a lot of books,
Speaker 4: let me tell you, Zoey.
Speaker 3: A lot of books, okay? - Right?
Speaker 3: Apparently you just keep putting your name
Speaker 3: Have you already made this and that's why all the books I keep reading keep popping up, Russell?
Speaker 4: It's in your settings. It's been pranked.
Speaker 4: That's right, and that's why Phil's the villain.
Speaker 3: [laughter]
Speaker 4: The fill-in.
Speaker 3: The one time.
Speaker 4: The fill-in villain.
Speaker 3: Also happened like, if it's like a family member and I'm like, "Oh, God, no."
Speaker 4: I'll immediately throw it in the garbage, right?
Speaker 3: And that one gets returned to Kindle Unlimited.
Speaker 3: Thank you very much for your time, author.
Speaker 3: - I thought you'd put this into the world.
Speaker 3: Pick better names.
Speaker 4: - You could totally make troll books
Speaker 4: where you have this whole romantic novel happen
Speaker 4: and they never shared their real name
Speaker 4: and then at the very end, it's just like,
Speaker 4: - Your dad's name.
Speaker 4: - Your mom's name.
Speaker 4: - Hold on, hold on.
Speaker 4: (laughing)
Speaker 4: - Just completely ruin the whole book.
Speaker 4: - Hate that, I hate everything about that.
Speaker 2: - As they approached each other in tender embrace.
Speaker 4: Like, no, oh God.
Speaker 4: - What's your real name?
Speaker 2: - Dad.
Speaker 4: - Scott.
Speaker 4: (laughing)
Speaker 4: - My dad's name is Scott.
Speaker 4: (laughing)
Speaker 3: - I think that's somehow why fantasy authors
Speaker 3: sometimes are like, and his name was Zorlax.
Speaker 3: And I'm like, finally, somebody I can understand
Speaker 3: and get behind, you know?
Speaker 3: - Literally. - Not any of these.
Speaker 3: - Zorlax. - Yeah.
Speaker 4: - Sounds like a medication, like a prescription drug.
Speaker 4: - Talk to your doctor.
Speaker 3: - Do you have chest palpitations?
Speaker 2: - This week's episode of Spitball
Speaker 2: is brought to you by Zorlax.
Speaker 2: It's your sponsor!
Speaker 2: And Fireball.
Speaker 2: And Fireball whiskey.
Speaker 2: Well, dear listener, if you have a song in the background while reading your favorite
Speaker 2: romanticy novel, we're really glad you had a song.
Speaker 2: Thank you very much for engaging, and thank you very much for joining us, Zoey.
Speaker 2: This was really fun.
