1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,000
I'm Scott. I'm Russell. And I'm Leo. This is Spitball.

2
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:22,160
Welcome to Spitball, the Pitchin' Kitchen. Where three mouth-breathers... That's us... Empty

3
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:25,960
our heads of startup and tech product ideas that we have stuck up in there so you can

4
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:30,580
all have them for free. Anything we say is yours to keep. And this week we are delighted

5
00:00:30,580 --> 00:00:35,320
to have a good friend of all three of ours, Mr. Carl. Welcome to the show. This is going

6
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:36,400
to be a lot of fun.

7
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:40,840
Thanks for the invite and I'm glad to be here. Long time listener. Sometime in the future

8
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:47,040
I'll probably be within like the first 1% of people that joined your show as a follower.

9
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:51,800
Heck yeah, you're in early days, man. This week we're going to be kicking off the show

10
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:55,240
by playing a little game that we're going to call Best of AliExpress. So we're going

11
00:00:55,240 --> 00:01:01,120
to take some turns here where we have two actual products from either AliExpress or

12
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:06,640
Wish.com. For those of you who don't know, Alibaba, the giant conglomerate from China,

13
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:11,840
is known for medium to low quality stuff that you can get in six to eight weeks if you're

14
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:15,280
patient, but you can get for dirt cheap here in the States.

15
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:18,600
I'm a Teemu. I'm a Teemu man now, actually.

16
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:23,080
I didn't even check Teemu for these products. We're going to give you two actual products

17
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:29,360
and one that we just made up here. Let's start with our guest, Carl. I'm going to read three

18
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:31,560
things for you here. You tell me which one you think is fake.

19
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:36,760
Item number one, a USB powered whisk. This plugs directly into your computer's USB-A

20
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:42,520
port and spins a whisk quickly. How quick? I'm not quite sure. Item number two, a Lego

21
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:47,800
coffee mug. This ABS plastic mug is covered with pegs and holes all along the outside

22
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:53,080
that you can put compatible Lego bricks all over. Or item number three, a fried chicken

23
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:59,080
leg pillow. It's what it says on the tin, a giant stuffed chicken wing, but it's a pillow.

24
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:04,380
We got whisk, Lego mug, or fried chicken. Which one's the factual product?

25
00:02:04,380 --> 00:02:13,060
My opinion here is that the Danish people own Lego, and they're not normally very stupid.

26
00:02:13,060 --> 00:02:18,720
My pick is that the Lego is fake. What if it's a Mega Block mug? Would that change your

27
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:24,520
opinion? Yeah. China's not very famously litigious.

28
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:28,640
Unfortunately, it was the USB powered whisk, which I made up. I'm glad you all enjoyed

29
00:02:28,640 --> 00:02:31,880
that though. Feel free to take that idea, anyone and everyone.

30
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:35,520
That was what I'm like, "That's probably online somewhere. I could see that."

31
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:41,080
Thanks. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Scott, you're up. Number one, a fanny pack with a print

32
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:44,640
of a photograph of a beer belly gut, so you can wear it on the front.

33
00:02:44,640 --> 00:02:48,040
That's real. Number two, the pimple popper toy, a silicone

34
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:52,040
nose with holes in it. When you squeeze it, goo comes out.

35
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:54,960
Probably real. Or number three, the ego boosting mirror.

36
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:59,560
This is a small LED makeup mirror that has a proximity sensor and a speaker, and it speaks

37
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:03,000
affirmations such as, "You look great," when you approach.

38
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:07,400
Oh man. We've got fanny pack with beer gut, pimple

39
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:14,480
popper toy, or ego boosting mirror. I think I got to go with the ego boosting

40
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:15,880
mirror. Oh, that's hard.

41
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:22,840
That is indeed the one that I made up. Well done. It's one, zero. Russell, imitation grass

42
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:26,960
flip flops. They're normal white flip flops, but along the top part that your foot comes

43
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:31,860
into contact with is just artificial turf for some reason.

44
00:03:31,860 --> 00:03:37,380
An item titled a food safe shower sponge, a hot pink sponge pictured being held by a

45
00:03:37,380 --> 00:03:42,920
smiling woman standing in a shower, wearing a towel, washing a dish, or the suture training

46
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:47,660
kit, a wobbly silicone slab about the size of a deck of cards with various slices and

47
00:03:47,660 --> 00:03:50,900
gashes in it so you can practice stitching them closed.

48
00:03:50,900 --> 00:03:57,360
What was number two? Flip flops, food safe shower sponge, or suture

49
00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:59,200
training kit. Food safe.

50
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:03,760
Totally right. I made up the description. I tried to be specific in details, hoping

51
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:08,240
you wouldn't notice, but yeah. It's the kind of thing that I, it's what I picture in my

52
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,680
head for AliExpress, right? Yeah.

53
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:15,980
Carl, number one, a disposable phone charger, a power bank about the size of a D battery

54
00:04:15,980 --> 00:04:20,280
with a permanent six inch old style iPhone lightning charger coming out of one end and

55
00:04:20,280 --> 00:04:24,760
nothing else. There's no way to recharge it. It's one time use only. I assume it has an

56
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:29,160
alkaline battery inside. Number two, long bendable hose funnel.

57
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:34,920
On one end, a large opening and on the other, a funnel for peeing into a bottle on long

58
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:41,960
road trips. And number three, a nail printer, a $500 white cube, roughly the size of a basketball

59
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:45,960
with a touch screen on the top. Apply a fake nail, place your finger in the hole in the

60
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:49,240
box, select a design to be inkjet printed onto the nail.

61
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:52,660
Whoa. We've got disposable phone charger, peeing

62
00:04:52,660 --> 00:04:58,800
on trips hose, nail printer. I want two of those. Not going to say which

63
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:02,080
though. Don't tell us which.

64
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:05,120
Nail printer. The nail printer is real.

65
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:08,040
Whoa. I imagine it doesn't work very well.

66
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:12,320
Which one is it real? I still want to try it. The disposable phone charger is something

67
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:16,280
I made up. I imagine there's not enough juice in the D battery to get you too far.

68
00:05:16,280 --> 00:05:22,880
Scott, a novelty Amazon cardboard box, the size of a dice. Very, very small little box

69
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:27,080
that has Amazon written on the side that's made of resin, I imagine, or something like

70
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:30,720
that. Fascinating. The taste changing cutlery set. This is a

71
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:35,120
bulky fork and spoon that I found that each have a mesh compartment on the mouth end to

72
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:39,640
house a miracle berry fruit tablet, which tastes, changes the taste of sour foods to

73
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:45,200
be sweet. I don't know if you've tried those before. Or a cloth fish wallet. It's a one

74
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:50,520
foot long carp made of cloth that unzips along the bottom and it has a print of fish guts

75
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:53,120
on the inside. I don't want it to be the third one, but I

76
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:56,040
think the third one's fake. And if it is, we should make it ourselves.

77
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:59,600
Sorry to say I made up the taste changing cutlery set.

78
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:00,600
Wow. Hop on in.

79
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:04,680
There is a fish wallet that you could purchase for the low price of a couple bucks if you

80
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:07,600
wanted it. Minimum order quantity, 10,000.

81
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:11,240
Dude. That was on wish.com.

82
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:14,920
Miracle fruits and untapped like, yeah. Yeah, there's got to be some product in there,

83
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:17,680
right? They got it. They got to make that.

84
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:23,600
Russell, a metal Zippo shaped device with two lasers that says you put it in your mouth

85
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:33,160
to quote cure ulcers and throat to glowing red led truck nuts that go under the back

86
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:40,000
of your bike seat or three aromatherapy earplugs. This is set of 12 foam earplugs that come

87
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:43,560
in lavender, lemongrass or rosemary. Oh my gosh.

88
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:49,920
We've got the Zippo mouth ulcer thing, truck nuts for your bike or aromatherapy earplugs.

89
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:55,680
I'm sorry, earplugs that smell good. Yeah, they come in 12 each. Your choice of

90
00:06:55,680 --> 00:07:01,520
lavender, lemongrass or rosemary. Essential oils, man. It's all the rage. That's

91
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:05,280
got to be real. I just never thought to shove them in my ears.

92
00:07:05,280 --> 00:07:09,880
That's all. I feel like the truck nuts market must have

93
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:14,800
like exploded and people were like, all right, how do we expand our market? So that's got

94
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:20,280
to be real. So I'm going to go with number one, the light in the mouth.

95
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:24,800
I'm delighted to inform you that aromatherapy earplugs do not exist, but the metal Zippo

96
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:30,360
thing does. I have to show you this photo. It is incredible.

97
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:34,840
We'll put it in the show notes. Good Lord Almighty. It is wonderful. It doesn't exist

98
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:39,720
anymore. I had to find it on the internet archive. What the market for that isn't there.

99
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:45,520
It's aromatherapy earplugs though are freaking genius.

100
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:46,520
You like that? Yeah.

101
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:50,560
Thank you. The essential oil like world like, oh, just

102
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:55,800
dip earplugs into essential oils and you got a lavender, you know.

103
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,760
Heals your headaches. Instantly.

104
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:07,880
Look at that. It's like, so we're looking at a $38 device

105
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:10,760
that looks like a woman shoving a lightsaber down her throat.

106
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:13,680
Why is her mouth so wide? Why is her mouth so open?

107
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:19,800
USB type low level laser therapy apparatus for the oral ulcer and throat home treatment.

108
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:24,440
Dude, it looks like a lightsaber. It's good shit.

109
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:32,600
Guaranteed to remove ulcers and give you cancer. That too could be yours if you have access

110
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:35,440
to a time machine. All right. Who's up first this week?

111
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:39,880
I'm going to do drop shipping. Like everybody's got to do a drop shipping business right there.

112
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:45,440
All right, Russell, as the winner, I think, were you, who won? I didn't even count.

113
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:49,040
Russell wins. Russell wins. You go ahead and go first. What

114
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:52,280
do you got for us this week? All right, guys. So I don't know. I just watch

115
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:57,500
a lot of videos lately on Tik Tok or it shows up in my newsfeed, right? Of packages getting

116
00:08:57,500 --> 00:09:04,880
stolen on Amazon. Amazon packages, common problem. A lot of famous YouTubers, Mark Rober,

117
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:14,000
creates different ways to combat these thieves. All right. I'm also personally having issues

118
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:18,640
where Amazon packages get soaking wet because they don't have like a roof over the front.

119
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:26,840
So packages get dropped off and they get wet. My idea is a bag, a small bag that allows

120
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:33,000
package Amazon delivery drivers to drop a bag, a box into this bag and they close it

121
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:40,960
up and it's like a one way lock, right? Throw it in the bag, you close it. Amazon's happy

122
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:45,480
because they don't have to deal with less. They can deal with less theft. The Amazon

123
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:51,320
driver can show that it was sealed. It keeps it a little waterproof, reduces theft, and

124
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:57,160
then you just unlock it, right? With a simple combination code.

125
00:09:57,160 --> 00:10:03,400
I tried looking for this, but everything out there is like a giant box for packages. I'm

126
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:08,280
like, no, I don't want a box in front of my house. When packages arrive to not get stolen.

127
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:13,040
So here's a bag, you just throw it in the bag and leave. That's it. Simple.

128
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:17,840
That's so simple because you're right. I've looked myself for those giant chests or whatever

129
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:21,880
that the Amazon delivery driver can put them in. And they're just, they're huge, they're

130
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:26,880
ugly. My wife would kill me if we had one of those on our front porch anywhere. That's

131
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:29,480
a really good idea. Is the bag attached to your house somehow?

132
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:36,240
Yeah, like a bike lock. I think you just straight up bike lock it. I think Amazon should pay

133
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:41,760
for every Amazon, like you put Amazon Prime logo on it. Boom, comes with your membership.

134
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:47,120
Every year you get a new bag, you know, it doesn't last very long, but it reduces theft.

135
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:53,760
You expect your Prime users to have a ton, a big subscription. Hell, Walmart.com is going

136
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:58,360
after Amazon. Walmart, you give out those bags, you know, they become the household

137
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:04,440
staple or something. We're different. We're all about security, you know, something like

138
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:09,120
that. I love this too, because your exit strategy,

139
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:14,480
one, you could just sell these as is on Amazon or wherever. But two, your exit strategy should

140
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:18,080
be, I got the manufacturing, everything set up. I'm just going to sell this whole thing

141
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:22,080
to Amazon. Maybe they'll buy 10,000. Yeah, I got to file a provisional patent before

142
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:29,880
this one goes live. No, I mean, I want somebody to take this, right? I want somebody to build

143
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:36,280
this because I feel like it's a no brainer $25 bag that I buy at Amazon and it just...

144
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:38,880
Get them on AliExpress. It'll be $4 each. It'll be great.

145
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:43,800
Yeah, it's just peace of mind. You know, you may never have had a package stolen.

146
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:49,120
Would you call it the package sack? The package sack.

147
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:55,360
Pack sack. Dude, that's a great name. The sack, the box

148
00:11:55,360 --> 00:12:03,800
sack instead of the box sack. Nothing round goes in here. Oh man, we need some women on

149
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:06,000
this show. Yeah.

150
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:10,720
I don't think you'd need anything that crazy though. Like even if it was just a burlap

151
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:14,920
bag, like that's still going to be enough to deter people from trying to open a freaking

152
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:19,040
burlap bag on someone else's porch. You see all these videos of someone just like walking

153
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:22,600
up, grabbing a package and walking away. I think if you added five to 10 seconds of

154
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:26,120
inconvenience to them, that would be enough to deter most thefts here.

155
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:29,720
Especially the people with the ring doorbells that are like, even with those doorbells,

156
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:34,680
they're just shamelessly stealing them and walking away. You get like five, 10 seconds

157
00:12:34,680 --> 00:12:41,040
hypothetically. Like if they have a knife and they came ready to go, right? You'd still

158
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:46,640
capture that. I think a little bit more, it's a pain in the ass to steal like in general.

159
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:53,000
So why, if it's a little bit harder, not that I have any experience stealing, okay. It just

160
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:54,000
seems like...

161
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:55,000
Sure, Russell.

162
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:59,920
Nothing, and like nothing like that exists outside of those boxes, right? You got this,

163
00:12:59,920 --> 00:13:02,760
it's like a ugly ass box that you can't steal.

164
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:07,120
I'm picturing kind of like what those big zipper cooler bag type things, but can you

165
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:11,640
elaborate on how you, you imagine this being a one way thing? How does it like lock so

166
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:15,360
that they can't reopen it or someone can't walk away with your whole bag?

167
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:20,160
Okay. I've thought a little bit about this, but you have one end that's locks and the

168
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:24,800
other end that's a one way, I don't know, zip tie, we'll say like a zip tie. Okay. One

169
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:30,160
ends a zip tie, one ends a lock. And so it's always locked. The delivery driver comes in,

170
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:34,320
pulls it, the zip tie is one way and the only way to open it is through, you cut it. Then

171
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:38,560
you replace the zip tie with like some, some engineer will come up with a reusable zip

172
00:13:38,560 --> 00:13:39,560
tie.

173
00:13:39,560 --> 00:13:42,640
That's a true MVP right there. We're just going to put a zip tie on this burlap.

174
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:47,640
50 zip ties, call it a day. You know, when I was Googling this a while ago, have you

175
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:52,120
ever seen those gates? I don't know. It's the craziest thing. There are some gates out

176
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:57,340
there with three different locks and any one of those three locks will unlock the gate,

177
00:13:57,340 --> 00:14:00,920
but it's structured in a way so that one lock opens the whole gate.

178
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:06,320
I know what I'm trying to understand that. So I'm picturing burlap sack with what different

179
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:11,000
compartments in it. So I can put multiple packages inside of the same one. Oh, I got

180
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:14,520
you. I mean, you could do three. Dude, here's another thing. You know, what's a pain in

181
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:20,800
the ass when I have to sign for something, man, can I just like leave the signature on

182
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:27,180
the bag, let's say, and now Amazon knows, all right, I'm going to drop this off in the

183
00:14:27,180 --> 00:14:32,160
like security bag. So now I don't have to worry about a signature as much. Reduce that

184
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:35,680
whole cost that happens in the logistics system.

185
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:40,280
No, because the point of the signature is you accepting like, yes, I got it. Yes, it's

186
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:45,720
not damaged and all that. So you're saying if you had this as an extra level of guarantee,

187
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:48,200
you would feel less like you needed one, right?

188
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:52,720
It's both for the shipper and for the receiver, because it's an inconvenience for everybody,

189
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:57,600
right? Including the logistics person, right? It's like, all right, the signature parts,

190
00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:04,320
the worst part for everybody. I have to be home all day to wait for this damn package.

191
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:08,880
With box sack, you don't have to worry about that.

192
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:09,880
Package sack.

193
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:17,800
At the very least, get the branding for this down before this episode airs.

194
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:18,800
Pack sack.

195
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:23,400
What's stopping me from this, from me making this?

196
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:25,720
It's such an easy path to market too.

197
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:31,320
Right. It's just Amazon theft. Every ring video about a package thief, you're just like,

198
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:35,800
"Oh, get the box sack." I love that word now. It's going to catch on.

199
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:42,440
I wonder how much every year Amazon loses in having to ship things twice, package theft.

200
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:47,240
If you can get the costs for your whole project just below that, right? That's your target

201
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:48,240
price.

202
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:49,240
Oh, yeah.

203
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:51,320
You can manufacture them for cheaper than what it costs them, then they're coming out

204
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:53,120
ahead and you've got a pitch.

205
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:55,920
Yep. Stupid easy. I just got to find it on AliExpress.

206
00:15:55,920 --> 00:16:04,560
My question is, would you tie a cable to it with a giant retracting motor and then allow

207
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:09,560
enough slack so that someone can steal it, run halfway across to your yard, lock that

208
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:11,960
sucker down and suck it right back to the house?

209
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:14,280
Hell yeah. That's great. Big old steel cable.

210
00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:17,720
I don't even think you need the retracting motor. I just want to see them run away with

211
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:18,720
it.

212
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:24,720
Or like a bungee cable, but something thick so they kind of get snapped back. That's fun.

213
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:29,480
Get to the end of the rope and fall down.

214
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:30,480
Hack sack sap.

215
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:35,920
I think it needs a rebrand if it's got some sort of like prank element to it. That's great.

216
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:38,960
That's the add on. That's the add on.

217
00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:43,360
I think I'd have more fun watching people get the thing yanked out of their hands and

218
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:46,760
watching their reaction than I would the glitter bomb. That's fun.

219
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:50,400
You know, it made me think too, like maybe you get rid of the whole sack component and

220
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:55,880
it's just the Amazon delivery driver just stabs a pencil or like the locking mechanism,

221
00:16:55,880 --> 00:17:02,760
not pencil, a lock into the box, right? You know, this is crazy. But like making it easier,

222
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:08,240
right? Because a package driver is like, all right, I'm here. Like punch card. It clicks

223
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:12,040
in. It doesn't. It's hard to retract out like those drywall screws, you know?

224
00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:16,960
I've just pictured my new 70 inch television with a stab going right through the middle

225
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:18,160
of it when I open it.

226
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:23,760
Yeah, you have steel cable to some sort of lock that can be detached on the end and on

227
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:29,840
the end is like a VH, a very high bonds, you know, 3M sticky thing where it kind of adheres

228
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:35,520
to the box. You just throw the box away with the reusable pad or the disposable pad and

229
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:37,920
you've got, you know, way cheaper version, a tether.

230
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:40,440
A tether. Yeah. Yes.

231
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:42,120
That you have a key for.

232
00:17:42,120 --> 00:17:46,840
Then you could have the tether run over up the side of the house to a giant barrel full

233
00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:51,800
of building bricks. And when the tether gets to the end, it releases the trigger on the

234
00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:57,560
barrel full of building bricks that falls down two stories to the ground and pulls that

235
00:17:57,560 --> 00:17:59,360
thing right back out of that guy's hand.

236
00:17:59,360 --> 00:18:01,520
Is this a roadrunner?

237
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:07,000
What if when the delivery driver drops off your package, it triggers the tether to suck

238
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:09,880
the package up to the second floor of your house?

239
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:10,980
That's fun.

240
00:18:10,980 --> 00:18:16,920
Your package is like bear bagged up at the second floor of your house.

241
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:17,920
Hoisted.

242
00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:20,580
And no one's going to steal it. The bear can't take the goods, man.

243
00:18:20,580 --> 00:18:25,740
You just pull in all your deliveries in the second story window. That's wonderful. And

244
00:18:25,740 --> 00:18:29,740
you can have a bunch of barrels of hot oil to pour on your enemies.

245
00:18:29,740 --> 00:18:31,700
Just murder holes on the side of your house.

246
00:18:31,700 --> 00:18:38,380
Dude, tie it to a piano and you got a full Looney Tunes sketch. Like.

247
00:18:38,380 --> 00:18:44,780
Just a little legal disclaimer. I'm not advocating at all for anyone setting any booby traps.

248
00:18:44,780 --> 00:18:46,580
It's not a trap until someone gets hurt.

249
00:18:46,580 --> 00:18:53,220
That's what the law says, I'm sure.

250
00:18:53,220 --> 00:18:56,740
All righty, Scottie B, let's see what you got this week.

251
00:18:56,740 --> 00:19:02,380
All right. In usual fashion, I have a... Well, I started with a half-baked idea and then

252
00:19:02,380 --> 00:19:06,700
I put it in the chat GPT and it finished it for me, which I was like, that's pretty cool

253
00:19:06,700 --> 00:19:14,220
actually. So every year I go to a fish camp out in the middle of nowhere, Quebec. And

254
00:19:14,220 --> 00:19:18,420
it's just with a bunch of old guys who have been doing this for decades. And all of these

255
00:19:18,420 --> 00:19:24,580
guys are absolutely convinced that in these dozens of huge lakes we go to, there are only

256
00:19:24,580 --> 00:19:27,200
like three spots that you can catch fish.

257
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:31,940
What I want to do is come up with a data-driven way to determine where optimum fishing spots

258
00:19:31,940 --> 00:19:36,900
are instead of just some old guy's gut feeling because he caught a fish there in the seventies.

259
00:19:36,900 --> 00:19:43,700
So this gets a little more elaborate than my past ideas, but what I'm thinking is that

260
00:19:43,700 --> 00:19:48,580
you take whatever kind of fish you were trying to catch. In our case, it was bass. And I'm

261
00:19:48,580 --> 00:19:53,740
going to release a hundred bass into a couple of these lakes. And then I'm going to track

262
00:19:53,740 --> 00:19:58,100
the position of each of these bass and see where they go, where they hang out, what they're

263
00:19:58,100 --> 00:20:02,140
doing during certain times of day, what they're doing at different barometer readings, and

264
00:20:02,140 --> 00:20:06,500
just get a heat map of the lake doing that. So I can come back and be like, this is the

265
00:20:06,500 --> 00:20:10,580
actual spot where we should be fishing, not this spot just because you saw a log there

266
00:20:10,580 --> 00:20:15,140
once. So that's where I got stuck. Like, this is great in concept. How the hell do you execute

267
00:20:15,140 --> 00:20:20,220
this? Like you can't put little GPS tags on fish. I just couldn't think of a good way

268
00:20:20,220 --> 00:20:26,620
to triangulate them. So I put all this idea into ChadGBT and it instantly came up with

269
00:20:26,620 --> 00:20:30,740
this little sonar tablet. I'm like, what the hell is that? And apparently it's a little

270
00:20:30,740 --> 00:20:36,100
thing that researchers use where it'll just constantly emit like every five, 10 seconds,

271
00:20:36,100 --> 00:20:41,220
a ping, like a submarine. And I put a different one in for each fish at a different frequency.

272
00:20:41,220 --> 00:20:45,420
And then at the same time, I put little receivers at different points around the lake, at least

273
00:20:45,420 --> 00:20:49,500
three, maybe four. And from these, each of these fish are emitting these little sonar

274
00:20:49,500 --> 00:20:54,080
pings. As long as I have the data from all four collection stations, I can tell exactly

275
00:20:54,080 --> 00:21:00,060
where each fish is at any point. So this is kind of where it gets crazy. Let's just, I

276
00:21:00,060 --> 00:21:05,020
don't know, do this to a couple of different lakes in different areas, create these heat

277
00:21:05,020 --> 00:21:09,540
maps and figure out the types of spot that fish actually want to go to. And then that's

278
00:21:09,540 --> 00:21:14,060
kind of where I got lost. Do we, yeah, sell the data or if there's one particular lake,

279
00:21:14,060 --> 00:21:18,740
we will offer a service that you can come in and map the lake of whatever kind of fish

280
00:21:18,740 --> 00:21:24,140
you want. It is a huge technological challenge, but my God, it sounds so much fun.

281
00:21:24,140 --> 00:21:26,900
How much data do you need, I guess is the real question. Like a week?

282
00:21:26,900 --> 00:21:31,700
Yeah, a week or two is worth should be plenty at this point. These fish aren't just going

283
00:21:31,700 --> 00:21:35,440
to sit in one spot as they're going to get eaten by something bigger than them. They're

284
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:37,340
going to actually go to where they want to go.

285
00:21:37,340 --> 00:21:40,660
What are the receivers like? Like, do you have to have like a lot of receivers?

286
00:21:40,660 --> 00:21:44,720
I don't think you would need that many just to triangulate something. I mean, you need

287
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:49,100
at least three, but if you have a weird corner or shape of the lake where it bends around

288
00:21:49,100 --> 00:21:51,780
like an oxbow, you'd probably need one at the end of each of those.

289
00:21:51,780 --> 00:21:57,780
Okay, if I were to do this MVP style, I would literally just throw a bunch of bobbers on

290
00:21:57,780 --> 00:22:04,180
a bunch of those fish. And you literally just watch the bobbers. And you just look around

291
00:22:04,180 --> 00:22:08,420
the lake for the glowing orange bobbers. Yep. Or glow in the dark.

292
00:22:08,420 --> 00:22:12,900
Who needs hardware? I got bobbers and a glow stick. So we're just going to follow them.

293
00:22:12,900 --> 00:22:17,720
That's right. And then you're just like, oh, a lot of glow sticks landed over there, you

294
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:22,480
know, or all the bobbers, right? You just like drive around the lake afterwards. You're

295
00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:27,080
like, where did all these bobbers land? You know, you can have them dissolve. Okay, keep

296
00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:32,960
it eco-friendly. Have the hook in the fish dissolve after a certain amount of time. And

297
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:36,320
then it's super low cost, Scott. You solved your problem.

298
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:42,080
No, I want the complex hardware solution. I mean, it doesn't work if there's like current.

299
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:52,440
Fishes arch nemesis, current. Current. There's so many factors and every single person I

300
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:58,000
fish with believe they are the most superstitious bunch about every little thing affects every

301
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:04,760
possible way to catch fish. Oh, so it's just a bunch of hoopla. It's astrology.

302
00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:09,280
It's essentially astrology in a aluminum small boat.

303
00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:16,400
Have you guys heard of SOSUS? No. So like during the Cold War, the US wired the entire

304
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:24,040
North Atlantic for sound. So there's this microphone array to listen for Soviet submarines.

305
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:33,540
So what if you did something that had like three or 50 sonar buoys all across various

306
00:23:33,540 --> 00:23:39,880
lakes that then sent out a ping and then mapped where the fish were on any particular day

307
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:47,680
at any particular time and then mapped them on a web page that then said depth, water

308
00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:53,960
temperature and where they're congregating. Whoa, that's great. You just drop a few mics

309
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:58,260
around in the various spots of your little lake there.

310
00:23:58,260 --> 00:24:01,960
One of the arguments that we've had up there is we struggle with fish finders before. I

311
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:06,160
thought it was really cool actually. It's like a floating fish finder and you cast it

312
00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:10,320
into the middle of the lake and it maps out the bottom of the lake and in theory also

313
00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:15,560
acts as a fish finder. It did not work at all on these lakes that we were on. There

314
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:20,840
was just too many weeds and logs and it was saying there was fish everywhere when you

315
00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:25,640
can just clearly see that there's nothing. I think that would work really well on a larger

316
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:28,920
lake. I don't know about these smaller Quebecian ones.

317
00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:34,800
There's got to be some way to detect movement then, right? Like vibrations of the water?

318
00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:39,440
Is LIDAR, isn't that light? LIDAR is light. Dude, they're on Roomba vacuums. They clean

319
00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:45,760
my house. Can't they find some fish? I'm just going to go to the lake and drop a Roomba

320
00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:48,240
in and hope it maps it real quick before it sinks.

321
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:53,800
I mean, it's halfway there. Just waterproof a Roomba. There you go. You can just see a

322
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:58,880
fishing, a guy out trawling for fish somewhere on some lake with like 50 Roombas going around.

323
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:03,840
I'm in circles. Doesn't iRobot, the company that makes Roombas

324
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:08,640
has like a pool cleaning one. We're like 88% of the way there.

325
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:10,600
Tells you where the fish are and cleans the bottom.

326
00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:18,240
Scott, there you go. Here's a fish researchers, buy this up, dude. You got multi markets here.

327
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:27,880
I want to track fish behavior. Use our LIDAR or sorry, whatever it is. Yeah. Roombas.

328
00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:31,280
What if the Roomba was shaped like the fish you're trying to hunt? Then it could swim

329
00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:34,520
with the fishes. The fish mole.

330
00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:41,560
Yeah. Yeah. So then it goes, it just swims around until it identifies, Hey, there's what

331
00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:49,600
I am. And then it follows that fish at speed, at depth, and then just lives with that fish

332
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:54,520
until it finds more. And then it says, Oh my gosh, there's a bunch of us. And then it

333
00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:59,080
sends up a little bobber up to the top and then calls the fishermen there and says, Yo,

334
00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:01,560
yo over here. This is where you want to drop your hook.

335
00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:11,600
This is fish terminator. And then Skynet, which is humans come and attack all the fish.

336
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:17,880
Hello, fellow fish. Where are we congregating today? The fish mole.

337
00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:26,600
Okay. Okay. What about this? Could you, I don't know if fish congregate in certain spots,

338
00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:32,240
they got to be pooping the whole time. Right? Can't you just find the piles of fish poop

339
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:37,480
in the bottom of the Lake and just be like, Oh, a lot of poop here and somehow track it

340
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:40,340
that way. I didn't think I'd be Googling. Does fish

341
00:26:40,340 --> 00:26:43,600
poop float today? It doesn't. It dissolves. Haven't you ever

342
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:50,800
watched him at the dentist? No, exactly what you're talking about. I think

343
00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:57,680
everybody else knows the long trail that just is the longest dingleberry of all time for

344
00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:00,720
a fish. But then it just, the end of it just kind

345
00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:04,680
of dissipates. So what if you feed a bunch of fish, like

346
00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:09,760
a tracker, like poop track? I was going to say, maybe, maybe you could

347
00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:15,160
sense the difference of the poo water and like map it, like sample it as, as you go

348
00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:19,880
in like a grid pattern and sample the water looking for the high concentration water of

349
00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:22,880
poo water. Yeah. Like you build up too much ammonia in

350
00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:27,040
an aquarium. So that's why you have to switch it out. You probably could have some sort

351
00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:29,680
of detection. You know, it's, it's just like those people

352
00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:39,080
that hunted for COVID in the wastewater streams. You know, maybe, maybe that's what you need

353
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:45,160
to do. You give the fish a virus and then you can look for it in the lake and where

354
00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:48,160
it's concentrated, you know, that's where the virus is.

355
00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:56,840
So I got to catch all the fish first. Or you could make, what if you could make

356
00:27:56,840 --> 00:28:04,240
the poop float all of a sudden? Okay. Okay. Hear me out now. Now all the fish poop that

357
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:08,760
floats to the top, you're like, found the fish. It smells like fish shit.

358
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:14,120
Like I like this. Yeah. You need a bait that changes their diet to be more fatty. So it

359
00:28:14,120 --> 00:28:15,760
floats up. There it is.

360
00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:17,960
Some Chipotle or something and just sprinkle it in.

361
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:22,080
There's some lighting element in there, you know, so you throw the nightlight on fish

362
00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:30,600
shit floaters. And that's what I want to eat too, is a fish

363
00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:35,520
that you've given a different diet so that it's poo floats. I'm sure that hasn't tainted

364
00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:41,880
the meat at all. Does that count as a GMO?

365
00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:46,040
What's great about it is you don't even have to catch any fish, Scott. You just dump the,

366
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:53,640
you just fill the lake with all this like pig slop, floating fish food, pig slop, right?

367
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:59,000
With flora, like what are those? Lumino, fluorescent. Do you know what I'm talking about?

368
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:02,800
Biofluorescent, bioluminescent. That is so fascinating. Could you create a

369
00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:06,960
heat map of a lake that like you could see at night, maybe something that emits some

370
00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:11,120
ultraviolet or IR thing. And just feed the fish.

371
00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:14,040
And feed it to the fish and make a heat map of where they're at.

372
00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:21,000
What if you fed the fish tritium dust? Does tritium come in dust form?

373
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:26,560
Well, I mean, you can get it in a hard form. I mean, it's, I assume that you could dust

374
00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:32,360
it because I mean, they use it for like gun sights. It lasts for like 20 years. So I mean,

375
00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:35,640
why couldn't you grind it up and feed it to the fishes?

376
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:38,920
What's tritium? It's a radioactive isotope that glows in the

377
00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:44,600
dark by itself for like 10 years. Oh, so it goes away in 10 years?

378
00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:47,280
No, not really. It hangs around for about a hundred.

379
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:50,360
We're just going to chum the water with it. Oh.

380
00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:54,880
I think I would rather eat fish that was eaten pork than fish that was eaten tritium.

381
00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:59,000
Have you had tritium fish though, Leo? That's true. I shouldn't knock it till I

382
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:06,000
get it. I'll do anything once, right? That's right. And that you would do once.

383
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:20,560
All right, Leo, what do you got? Okay. So we missed out on the era of CB radio

384
00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:25,400
and its popularity. I think it's peaked. It's come and gone. It still has a niche with some

385
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:31,960
truck drivers, but it isn't popular and I want to bring it back. So what would a CB

386
00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:38,000
radio in the year of our Lord 2023 even look like? I'm glad you asked. I think we should

387
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:45,520
have a on off switch in every cabin of every car that can either be retrofit or built in

388
00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:50,280
always on microphone. You're not clicking on and off. This is just a conversational

389
00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:56,320
chat room that you have that is ambiently with every other car in your near proximity,

390
00:30:56,320 --> 00:31:01,520
say a few car lengths, maybe even a little more, I don't know, a few hundred feet that

391
00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:05,080
you are always hearing what they're doing. They're always hearing what you're doing.

392
00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:09,160
You just can have a conversation and choose to participate or not. But someone cuts you

393
00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:14,280
off, yell into the ether, see if they have their radio on. You want to thank someone

394
00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:18,680
for letting you merge? Just yell. Maybe they'll have theirs on and you can say thanks. I feel

395
00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:24,280
like it's hard to communicate with other cars. You do the wave, you do the like honk briefly

396
00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:28,840
to say I'm mad at what you did, but there's got to be a better way to communicate. Right?

397
00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:35,520
And CB radio built a whole culture around itself of like slang and interesting cultural

398
00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:39,920
things that have been lost to time. The way that memes travel, you know, I feel like this

399
00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:46,280
could happen IRL where you have like local slang, you have ongoing something to do other

400
00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:50,960
than listen to podcasts and be by yourself. Ham radio tries to be this a little bit, but

401
00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:56,880
it's too niche. I think it's got to be something that's easy to access and CB would be it,

402
00:31:56,880 --> 00:32:01,960
right? You just have those existing frequencies. Don't worry about clicking on and off and

403
00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:06,600
fumbling with stuff. Just build it in. Either I'm participating or I'm listening to the

404
00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:07,600
radio.

405
00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:12,360
That's dope. I think like when a traffic accident happens or like when you're stuck in traffic,

406
00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:16,280
like everybody's like, what happened? What happened? You know, and you could literally

407
00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:21,200
because the distance thing, like I bet you could walkie like a game of telephone. Sure.

408
00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:25,920
What's going on? Guy 10 cars ahead of me said this, pass it on. Totally. I think it would

409
00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:31,120
get people off their phones more too. Oh, true. People are fumbling with ways or whatever

410
00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:35,000
trying to figure out what's going on with this traffic accident. All the cop detection

411
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:41,960
would be amazing. Right. Cop ahead. Dude. And truckers would love it. Truckers would

412
00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:46,760
be using it. Like if they're using it already, I feel like that's their jam, right? You just

413
00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:50,320
talk it. Well, maybe that's also probably the problem is you're talking to truckers

414
00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:55,000
half the time. I don't know. Thank you truckers for listening. But if you're listening to

415
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:58,320
this right now and you're in your car, isn't there some car that you've seen in the last

416
00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:02,040
few minutes that you think like that must be an interesting person. What a weird vanity

417
00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:06,720
plate. Why do they have a sticker on their window for the whatever flag? Wouldn't it

418
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:12,280
be fun to just like have those fleeting moments? I don't know. There's always the bad egg who

419
00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:16,680
has road rage problems, but I feel like it'd be fun to like you can just like turn them

420
00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:20,200
off though and be like some guys yelling. You'd be like, I don't need to listen to you

421
00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:25,400
right now. And then it's just back to old school road rage. If it's yeah, you could

422
00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:29,680
turn yours off or if it's a digital thing, we could have a block system where everyone's

423
00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:33,640
on a slightly different thing. Yeah, you just say, you know what, that one car, you've got

424
00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:38,080
your list of seven license plates that are all around you right now and you tap on one

425
00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:41,040
or something to just take them off.

426
00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:46,520
We can have rating systems for different ones. You thanks for letting me in five out of five.

427
00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:50,880
That was a poor merge three out of five. But you know, it's funny, Leo, I've thought about

428
00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:54,520
I've as I've sat in traffic, like how I would communicate with people and I was like, maybe

429
00:33:54,520 --> 00:34:00,200
you put, but these are ideas that suck like an led strip in the back of your car that

430
00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:03,040
gives thumbs up or thank you or whatever.

431
00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:08,120
That exists. Yeah, it does. Someone has a little like circle led that makes smiley faces

432
00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:12,360
or frowny faces and that you can press, but it's not the same, right? That's one directional

433
00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:19,920
cringy. Yeah. Okay. Another thing too, I think this is actually crazy, but don't cars like

434
00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:24,520
self-driving cars would communicate to each other, right? Like that's a thing. Could you

435
00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:30,480
use that to like have cars talk to each like have cars talk to each other in? Yeah. Prevent

436
00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:35,800
accidents. Yeah. That's part of the plan. Yeah. That they're able to communicate state

437
00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:40,400
of light up ahead and plan their speed accordingly. And if you get self-driving cars down to the

438
00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:43,480
millisecond, you don't have to have stoplights at all because they can thread in between

439
00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:44,480
each other.

440
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:50,960
Also, this would make an amazing rom-com movie. You just are like always on the highway, lady

441
00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:56,820
on the radio, you know, I leave work every day and we just always hit it off. We always

442
00:34:56,820 --> 00:35:02,280
beat up around exit 40. Do you have like codes like you have like that? That's a whole culture,

443
00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:06,760
right? Like you have your own call signs and stuff in ham radio. Yeah. CB people would

444
00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:10,320
make their own like slang names for each other, but that was just anyone could have one for

445
00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:14,240
any reason. And radio, you have to like take a test for and get licensed and get a call

446
00:35:14,240 --> 00:35:19,000
sign and all that. Oh, so what's the what's CB radio? It's just like it's it's a walkie

447
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:23,120
talkie for a couple of different channels for anyone who's got a truck. Like it's I

448
00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:26,640
don't think you need a license. I'm pretty sure about. No, I don't think you do. Yeah,

449
00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:30,460
no, you don't need a license. We should all get CBs in our cars. That way we can talk

450
00:35:30,460 --> 00:35:34,960
to each other around town. That'd be fun. I'd love that. Oh, be awesome. So is that

451
00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:40,200
like what all walkie talkies use? So like Scott has like a walkie talkie, right? Like

452
00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:43,960
that's all CB radio. Totally different. Yeah. All right. How do you? Yeah. So we got to

453
00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:48,040
make a romcom movie in order for this to catch on, because I feel like it's just like it's

454
00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:52,600
the adoption of it. Right. Because this already exists. Everybody go buy a walkie talkie.

455
00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:59,000
Right. And sit on Channel eight. And that's it. That's the or the walkie talkies prebuilt.

456
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:03,760
Right. How do you I think it just be like a device you press in your car. I'm almost

457
00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:08,520
picturing like it's integrated into Android auto or something where it's just, Hey, it's

458
00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:13,120
just another app I can select on here. And here's who's close to me. And like Leo said,

459
00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:18,320
I could block this guy or mute this guy or say, Hey, I'm, I'm free to talk right now.

460
00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:22,240
There's something charming about it being an actual radio signal coming and going, but

461
00:36:22,240 --> 00:36:27,720
really this could be modernized over the internet. And you have like, you know, I define my range.

462
00:36:27,720 --> 00:36:33,960
I want to hear the chatter all over the region versus just in my local area. You could do

463
00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:37,880
it over an app, but then you just have to have good constant cell phone service, which

464
00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:43,080
is tricky. I like it. I really like it where it's local to your car. Just like I got a

465
00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:47,680
hundred yards in every direction. CB radio goes five miles. Dude, this is like Omegle,

466
00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:53,320
but in your car. Yeah. Seriously though. Chat roulette. Yeah. Car roulette. The application

467
00:36:53,320 --> 00:36:59,720
for this would be really easy in my new pickup. Cause it's, it's connected to the internet

468
00:36:59,720 --> 00:37:04,640
and you can just download apps. So you could just put a new audio app in the truck and

469
00:37:04,640 --> 00:37:11,600
download it right to the, to the touch screen in the pickup. And it would know its GPS coordinates

470
00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:17,160
and have access to the microphone and speakers and be ready to roll. How soon until people

471
00:37:17,160 --> 00:37:23,280
start advertising across it? Day one. Unskippable 30 second ads before you can start your car.

472
00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:27,720
Oh, I was just thinking to some guy who's just blasting like it's the next level of

473
00:37:27,720 --> 00:37:34,120
bumper sticker advertising. Right. The abuse vector is pretty high. If everyone's got one

474
00:37:34,120 --> 00:37:41,480
of these to start blaring their, uh, Rick roll at maximum DB. Overpasses too. You just

475
00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:46,840
hang your radio on, on repeat. Just like, yeah. That's why this blocking feature is

476
00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:51,360
kind of a necessity. I think I could see it being very useful during an election year.

477
00:37:51,360 --> 00:38:02,920
Oh man. Yeah. Anytime. Anytime. Ham radio has a bad rep for being old crotchety guys,

478
00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:12,240
um, vent for political opinions or what their radio sounds like or the weather. So we have

479
00:38:12,240 --> 00:38:17,220
to figure out culturally how we make this something that's enjoyable. I would very much

480
00:38:17,220 --> 00:38:22,160
enjoy that if I had that in my car, especially on long trips. Dude, this would be okay. Like

481
00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:27,480
this could be like a geo caching thing. I'm wondering like, okay. Kind of like you go

482
00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:32,640
around town and you listen to audio messages. Kind of like how you go find geo caches. I

483
00:38:32,640 --> 00:38:39,040
don't know. You could play on that a little bit. So gamify it. Yeah. Yeah. Something like

484
00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:42,320
that. Like, Oh, I'm going to leave a, well, I don't know if that's possible. I'm sure

485
00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:46,920
there's a way to do it where you have little devices that repeat a message and turn it

486
00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:53,240
into a feature, right? Turn the, turn the spam into the culture itself. Like numbers

487
00:38:53,240 --> 00:38:58,200
stations. You've heard of those? No, no. Oh, Scott, you'd like this especially there's

488
00:38:58,200 --> 00:39:02,800
this is the thing you know about right, Carl, the number of stations, the radio there's,

489
00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:09,440
there's radio frequencies that people have observed saying random numbers at consistent

490
00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:16,740
times throughout days, weeks, months. And they assume that it's for spies who are abroad

491
00:39:16,740 --> 00:39:22,240
to listen into, to know that their orders are, but you there's all over the East coast,

492
00:39:22,240 --> 00:39:25,920
especially you can tune your radio to certain frequencies and just hear these mysterious

493
00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:32,040
numbers that nobody knows where they're coming from. That's terrifying. Yeah. That's a good

494
00:39:32,040 --> 00:39:35,960
Wikipedia rabbit hole for you listeners. If you want to take an afternoon and just sort

495
00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:41,400
of check starting at numbers stations and ending up, you know, somewhere in the cold

496
00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:47,320
war listening to Carl's underwater sonar system. Is it a person talking into the microphone

497
00:39:47,320 --> 00:39:58,040
or is it like robot? Yeah. Whoa. 12, seven 88 three. Yeah. Whoa. I don't, I don't like

498
00:39:58,040 --> 00:40:03,040
that. That's a thing. I don't like knowing that. I don't know if there's still a thing.

499
00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:07,480
It's probably pretty easy for someone to track them down in this year, but uh, they were

500
00:40:07,480 --> 00:40:12,040
a thing for many decades. Use the triangulating fish finder. You could find them. No problem.

501
00:40:12,040 --> 00:40:17,520
There you go. Wait, you can't find people, right? You can't like, there's no way to track

502
00:40:17,520 --> 00:40:23,960
like the signal. A sport in amateur radio is called foxhole hunting. And some Saturday,

503
00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:29,120
some guy will go find like a Denny's or sit in his car in the middle of nowhere and every

504
00:40:29,120 --> 00:40:34,880
pre agreed upon interval. So I will broadcast for 30 seconds every 10 minutes and people

505
00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:40,160
that's the first to find them wins and it's practice so that if somebody is being abusive

506
00:40:40,160 --> 00:40:45,760
and the FCC wants to take a tower down or whatever, they can find them. But yeah, you

507
00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:50,840
basically have directional antennas. So you're doing the like trying to figure out where

508
00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:58,200
it's coming from. You know, when you're finding water, right? It's like a compass kind of,

509
00:40:58,200 --> 00:41:02,440
but a compass that you can only look at for a few seconds every couple of minutes. And

510
00:41:02,440 --> 00:41:06,040
so you try to figure out where they are, you know, so yes, you can track them, but kind

511
00:41:06,040 --> 00:41:08,920
of on a two dimensional plane. Why do you ask?

512
00:41:08,920 --> 00:41:13,720
I was just curious. Yeah, because I want to find these number of people.

513
00:41:13,720 --> 00:41:20,560
All right, Carl, what do you have for us this week?

514
00:41:20,560 --> 00:41:26,160
All right. So not this past summer, but the previous summer, my wife and I decided to

515
00:41:26,160 --> 00:41:33,760
plant an orchard. So we bought two apple trees and two peach trees. The apple trees not doing

516
00:41:33,760 --> 00:41:38,400
so hot, but they're still alive. They're still green. One died, but we replaced it and it's

517
00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:44,080
kind of limping along. But the peach trees have been just booming. So the first year

518
00:41:44,080 --> 00:41:48,760
we put the peach trees in, we got a whole bunch of peaches growing on them, looked great.

519
00:41:48,760 --> 00:41:54,080
And then within like middle of August, within like one day, all the peaches were gone. On

520
00:41:54,080 --> 00:41:58,880
both trees the first year. And it was like we couldn't figure out where all these peaches

521
00:41:58,880 --> 00:42:05,360
go. So then this year we had like a bumper crop, like I'm talking between the two trees,

522
00:42:05,360 --> 00:42:09,360
we had like 300 peaches gone. What?

523
00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:15,040
Two weeks, August, like one day they were just gone off the trees. So there's some type

524
00:42:15,040 --> 00:42:19,160
of animal that's eaten the peaches and we're pretty sure it's like a squirrel or a bird

525
00:42:19,160 --> 00:42:26,120
or who knows what. So that's been very frustrating. So we're like, let's do some bird nests or

526
00:42:26,120 --> 00:42:31,480
some like bird nets. And I bought like an eagle and I bought an owl and I'm like getting

527
00:42:31,480 --> 00:42:36,280
irritated and I'm trying to figure out what to do with my garden. Additionally, the apple

528
00:42:36,280 --> 00:42:42,120
trees aren't getting the right type of water or enough watering or the right water timing.

529
00:42:42,120 --> 00:42:51,440
So we've had this water issue. So I was thinking that I like artillery cannons. Like those

530
00:42:51,440 --> 00:42:58,400
things are awesome. Like they're sweet. They shoot things like this is awesome. So I thought

531
00:42:58,400 --> 00:43:07,720
what could I combine to take care of my watering issue and my animal issue at the same time?

532
00:43:07,720 --> 00:43:17,240
And so I thought, what if I made a multi-axis laminar flow water cannon that could shoot

533
00:43:17,240 --> 00:43:25,000
water in a pattern wherever I needed it. And I'd be able to like set up auxiliary cameras

534
00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:32,520
around my garden that when it sensed movement of like a squirrel, it would call in an artillery

535
00:43:32,520 --> 00:43:42,440
strike from my automated water cannon to blast the squirrel. And then it would also like

536
00:43:42,440 --> 00:43:46,520
during the day when it's just sitting there, it'd say, oh yeah, we need to, we need to

537
00:43:46,520 --> 00:43:51,520
distribute like four and a half gallons to this tree area and four and a half gallons

538
00:43:51,520 --> 00:43:57,680
to this tree. And so it would sit there and just, you know, rapid fire, you know, right

539
00:43:57,680 --> 00:44:04,520
a carpet bomb, this tree and then that tree. And then it would carpet bomb my corn rows

540
00:44:04,520 --> 00:44:09,520
and then it would carpet bomb my raspberry bush and my blueberry bush and in those specific

541
00:44:09,520 --> 00:44:13,800
areas. So I'm not wasting all that water on grass that no one cares about. I'm putting

542
00:44:13,800 --> 00:44:18,960
it on the plant where I need it, but then also pestering the animals that come, not

543
00:44:18,960 --> 00:44:23,920
killing them, not harming them. Just anytime an animal shows up, I'm just calling in an

544
00:44:23,920 --> 00:44:31,040
artillery strike to just barrage that sucker with water. And I'm, I'm thinking that, you

545
00:44:31,040 --> 00:44:38,000
know, a laminar flow cannon that shoots water at high pressure over a long distance might

546
00:44:38,000 --> 00:44:43,760
even be able to be like set up in the middle of my backyard and water my entire lawn. So

547
00:44:43,760 --> 00:44:48,680
it sits there and just runs, you know, 24 seven or eight hours a day or whatever it

548
00:44:48,680 --> 00:44:55,240
is, but it's also on guard for my garden. This rules. Dogs are going to love this. Pete

549
00:44:55,240 --> 00:45:01,840
is going to love this. I'm not hurting the animals. That's right. You're watering them.

550
00:45:01,840 --> 00:45:07,320
So growing up, we had hostas all along our house, like a huge row of them, unfathomable

551
00:45:07,320 --> 00:45:12,440
amount of hostas and without fail, deer would come in in the season and eat them. And my

552
00:45:12,440 --> 00:45:19,680
dad tried sound devices. My dad tried all kinds of stuff until finally we had a motion

553
00:45:19,680 --> 00:45:26,680
detecting sprinkler. Whoa. And it was an instant fix. Squirrels would get in there. A deer,

554
00:45:26,680 --> 00:45:31,000
excuse me, would get near it. It would just tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick,

555
00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:35,960
and then be done. And they wouldn't go anywhere near it. Not even afraid. They were just afraid

556
00:45:35,960 --> 00:45:39,920
of the sound and the movement, not even like getting blasted. Maybe they got it a little

557
00:45:39,920 --> 00:45:46,200
bit or something, but they were perfect circles of protection and right outside the range

558
00:45:46,200 --> 00:45:51,280
of where this thing would trigger, they would be all eaten. Right? Whoa. It's exactly what

559
00:45:51,280 --> 00:45:55,320
you're talking about, but not automated. I love this. I can tell you from experience

560
00:45:55,320 --> 00:46:00,920
that it would work beautifully. I just want to feed 10,000 pictures of a, of squirrels

561
00:46:00,920 --> 00:46:07,800
and rabbits into a AI bot and have it a camera system with a triple axis, be able to recognize

562
00:46:07,800 --> 00:46:14,360
them and pinpoint the exact X, Y, Z of this guy with a camera. With a camera. So you can

563
00:46:14,360 --> 00:46:19,840
watch the fun, of course, record it and make a highlight reel. Nice. Maybe you have like

564
00:46:19,840 --> 00:46:25,480
one camera mounted on the artillery piece. That's like zone control. And like, cause

565
00:46:25,480 --> 00:46:28,080
you're going to have the hose run to this thing. You're going to have probably a high

566
00:46:28,080 --> 00:46:31,760
pressure pump. You're probably going to have a little bit of power. So it's, it's going

567
00:46:31,760 --> 00:46:37,040
to be a pretty fixed unit in my brain. You know, you might need a camera in a different

568
00:46:37,040 --> 00:46:42,160
position to like, look from a different angle that then also coordinates and triangulate.

569
00:46:42,160 --> 00:46:46,360
So then you'd need some calibrating shots to call in like, okay, we're going to coordinate

570
00:46:46,360 --> 00:46:52,360
where this is and then it can fire for effect. Bring it up, bring a water artillery round

571
00:46:52,360 --> 00:46:58,200
in and land it right where they need it. Be the kids summer fun. Yeah. Put it on fun sprinkler

572
00:46:58,200 --> 00:47:03,400
mode and it's like raining spots and stuff. You make games out of it. Teach it to target

573
00:47:03,400 --> 00:47:08,040
small children. This'll be perfect. That would be so fun. This would actually be a lot of

574
00:47:08,040 --> 00:47:14,120
fun growing up. That is, I think that's the bigger market. Carl, screw all that stuff.

575
00:47:14,120 --> 00:47:20,320
Like you turn this into like, uh, this is an adult automated super soaker turret. Right.

576
00:47:20,320 --> 00:47:24,360
Oh, it could have all the modes. It could have a child play mode where it goes out and

577
00:47:24,360 --> 00:47:30,940
just goes crazy. It could have regular sprinkler mode where it runs around and just does the,

578
00:47:30,940 --> 00:47:36,120
you know, and, and sprays in a big giant arc on the grass or it could have, you know, prestrigion

579
00:47:36,120 --> 00:47:44,140
strike mode. Don't you dare eat my rose bushes or a joystick mode that you're manually controlling

580
00:47:44,140 --> 00:47:50,840
for fun. Oh, absolutely. You could have like a video game controller and some POV goggles

581
00:47:50,840 --> 00:47:56,020
with a targeting patch on it. And you could sit there and intercept it and shoot the squirrels

582
00:47:56,020 --> 00:48:02,480
if you wanted to with water. Of course, I'm only talking about water, but you know, it

583
00:48:02,480 --> 00:48:09,560
would be so much fun. And then if, if a precision strike is called in, you could have it automatically

584
00:48:09,560 --> 00:48:15,040
save the clips and then automatically snip the video so that you have the replay reel

585
00:48:15,040 --> 00:48:20,000
so that you can enjoy it and upload it to YouTube. Yes, yes, yes. Dude, super soaker

586
00:48:20,000 --> 00:48:27,240
is gonna, if you like turn this into super soaker toy, boom, like do the, do the laminar

587
00:48:27,240 --> 00:48:32,720
flow thing, right. For, you know, the other market, but you sell this kind of this game

588
00:48:32,720 --> 00:48:40,120
concept as super soaker, boom, you got a market. I'm picturing like a target or something on

589
00:48:40,120 --> 00:48:44,240
it and kids got to sneak up on this turret and try to hit the target with their own water

590
00:48:44,240 --> 00:48:47,960
in order to shut it down or something long enough for them to, I don't know, capture

591
00:48:47,960 --> 00:48:51,720
the flag or whatnot. You just got to get past this thing. A capture the flag mode on it

592
00:48:51,720 --> 00:48:56,920
would be pretty sweet. It's like spy mode, right? Like I'm a secret agent trying to capture

593
00:48:56,920 --> 00:49:02,360
the flag. There's nothing crazy about this too. Like all the technology for this is there.

594
00:49:02,360 --> 00:49:06,760
It's just putting it together. That's why I picked that as my idea. Like what's the

595
00:49:06,760 --> 00:49:12,600
MVP, right? So like, I can't, is it hard to do these like giant ass pumps? Do you have

596
00:49:12,600 --> 00:49:17,320
to like have a big pump to like shoot water that hard and fast?

597
00:49:17,320 --> 00:49:22,080
That's a great question. How hard is it to lob a artillery amount of water across the

598
00:49:22,080 --> 00:49:26,880
yard? Water's pretty heavy. Well, I looked into that and the trick is really to get the

599
00:49:26,880 --> 00:49:31,400
laminar flow. Cause then you can send a packet, but you're limited by the surface tension

600
00:49:31,400 --> 00:49:36,560
of the water. Cause as the velocity goes up and you get this packet of water going, if

601
00:49:36,560 --> 00:49:41,840
it's bigger than a regular rain droplet, which rain droplets are the size rain droplets are

602
00:49:41,840 --> 00:49:47,680
because of some actual physics constraints. And so what will happen is, is if you send

603
00:49:47,680 --> 00:49:53,440
something say the size of your thumb, it will dissipate into at a certain velocity and with

604
00:49:53,440 --> 00:49:59,540
not enough surface tension, it will separate and disintegrate into, you know, the corresponding

605
00:49:59,540 --> 00:50:05,120
drops that would be a droplet size. And so then your targeting accuracy starts to go

606
00:50:05,120 --> 00:50:10,320
down and your velocity starts to go down because you have more drag. And then you have a larger

607
00:50:10,320 --> 00:50:15,840
amount of droplets that are going to dissipate from your normal grouping. And so that's,

608
00:50:15,840 --> 00:50:20,680
that's kind of an important shotgun. So then it ends up being a shotgun. We have some variation

609
00:50:20,680 --> 00:50:28,160
of this that self fills biodegradable water balloons and just a lobs them across the yard.

610
00:50:28,160 --> 00:50:31,880
You won't have to deal with that. And he's just, there is your artillery strike is water

611
00:50:31,880 --> 00:50:37,960
balloons coming from seemingly nowhere from the sky. Essentially a automated trebuchet.

612
00:50:37,960 --> 00:50:42,000
Oh, that's great. I just want to build that biodegradable. Yeah, you're right though. It's

613
00:50:42,000 --> 00:50:45,720
all physics. If you know the exact weight of the projectile, what if you didn't care

614
00:50:45,720 --> 00:50:49,840
so much about precision accuracy and you did the trebuchet, but just, it's like a five

615
00:50:49,840 --> 00:50:54,720
gallon buckets worth of water that gets lobbed. Would you get the like enough of a spray,

616
00:50:54,720 --> 00:51:00,800
you know? Well, you don't want to knock the peaches off the tree. All right. That's true.

617
00:51:00,800 --> 00:51:06,760
You know, that was, that's the original goal here. Or snap a bird's neck. Yeah. You can

618
00:51:06,760 --> 00:51:10,840
use it to harvest the peaches. It'll be great. What about the angle? What if you just had

619
00:51:10,840 --> 00:51:15,200
a high arc, like literally create rain on your lawn though? What if you did the five

620
00:51:15,200 --> 00:51:21,640
gallon bucket, but you lob it so high in the air, the spray, right? Just covers the whole

621
00:51:21,640 --> 00:51:26,320
lawn bucket after bucket after bucket. I don't know how long that's going to take, but the

622
00:51:26,320 --> 00:51:30,480
laminar flow thing is great. Yeah. I don't know. I like that idea. I like making rain

623
00:51:30,480 --> 00:51:36,120
on my lawn through one trebuchet. I've never imagined laminar flow that has a brief on

624
00:51:36,120 --> 00:51:40,760
off. Like the only time I've ever seen laminar flow is when it looks like a solid pillar

625
00:51:40,760 --> 00:51:44,480
because it's constant, but I've never seen intermittent laminar flow. Well, I guess there's

626
00:51:44,480 --> 00:51:48,240
like jumping fountains that sometimes look kind of cool where they've got the splash

627
00:51:48,240 --> 00:51:52,960
pad. Yeah. Downtown. Yeah. They're always a little like disturbed though. I've, you know,

628
00:51:52,960 --> 00:51:59,360
those really precise videos of jumping fountains that are like the splash pads where they're,

629
00:51:59,360 --> 00:52:03,120
you know, like intermittently on, off, on, off, on, off. You could get something really

630
00:52:03,120 --> 00:52:08,000
cool going there when you scale it up. That would be cool. That sounds like a fun and

631
00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:17,040
very hard to pull off hardware project. Very cool. Yeah. You could sell add ons like additional

632
00:52:17,040 --> 00:52:26,920
barrels. You could do like, I have a quad barrel, a sprinkler. It would be sweet if

633
00:52:26,920 --> 00:52:31,400
it was a quad barrel. And then, and then the barrels kind of came back and forth. Like

634
00:52:31,400 --> 00:52:38,600
one of those, uh, bofors that they had in World War II. Anti-aircraft guns. I was picturing

635
00:52:38,600 --> 00:52:43,080
four barrels, but they're all along the roof in different spots. So you have this sort

636
00:52:43,080 --> 00:52:49,880
of reigning terror of different angles and stuff of various blobs of water from all sides,

637
00:52:49,880 --> 00:52:55,520
overwhelming the enemy. It'll be squirrels. Maybe that's how you make the valves work.

638
00:52:55,520 --> 00:52:59,800
You move the barrels and slide them in and out. So it's like the bofors, but the sliding

639
00:52:59,800 --> 00:53:07,000
in and out is where it takes a new slug of water and admits it into the barrel. A slug

640
00:53:07,000 --> 00:53:15,520
of water's excellence. Shoot a water slug with a compressed air backup and just all

641
00:53:15,520 --> 00:53:27,720
day, all night. Turn off the artillery, honey. It's hard to do that quiet. I bet. Air compressor

642
00:53:27,720 --> 00:53:35,520
running all night. It's just knob in the backyard for these poor squirrels. You could design

643
00:53:35,520 --> 00:53:43,560
it like a mini gun, you know, like a Gatling gun, like one of those spins. Yeah, sure.

644
00:53:43,560 --> 00:53:49,560
Okay. Like super, why is it super soaker? Like all over this stuff, like we need adult

645
00:53:49,560 --> 00:53:56,200
water guns or water turret systems. Like this is our generation growing up. We need like

646
00:53:56,200 --> 00:54:01,080
this version in our lives. My roommate in college modified a nerf gun to where it was

647
00:54:01,080 --> 00:54:07,200
like really painful levels of speed. It would leave welts. They needed that scene, but for

648
00:54:07,200 --> 00:54:11,020
super circuit, that probably exists, right? Where you have like stainless steel canisters

649
00:54:11,020 --> 00:54:16,040
instead of plastic shit. Have you seen the, uh, the phalanx gun that they put on the U.S.

650
00:54:16,040 --> 00:54:21,160
warships that intercept missiles that are inbound towards a U.S. warship? Yeah. And

651
00:54:21,160 --> 00:54:26,400
it's those are 75 rounds a second, something like that with, with water. That's what I

652
00:54:26,400 --> 00:54:34,400
want in my backyard for the squirrels. That sounds fun. Identify target, aim, targeting

653
00:54:34,400 --> 00:54:45,640
solution and then just, and squirrels not eating my peaches. Incredible. Well, thank
