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.
