three gadget gurus empty 4 00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:24,760 our heads of startup and tech product ideas that we have stuck up in there. 5 00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:26,080 So you can all have them for free. 6 00:00:26,080 --> 00:00:28,320 Anything that we say is yours to keep. 7 00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:30,920 And this week I brought our guests. 8 00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:37,160 Uh, this week we have, uh, my friend, my colleague, former intern, but not. 9 00:00:37,160 --> 00:00:39,360 He left us for another department. 10 00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:41,080 Please welcome my friend, Sander. 11 00:00:41,080 -->

16 00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:46,040 This is going to be a lot of fun. 17 00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:52,640 And this week, not only do we have a fourth guest, but we have a fifth as well. 18 00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:53,760 Um, we do. 19 00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:58,760 I, a new friend of the show, Ruben Rabasa, who you may know from, I think 20 00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:02,520 you should leave, uh, the sketch where the weird steering wheel don't 21 00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:04,320 fly off and go out the window. 22 00:01:04,320 --> 00:01:08,560 Uh, he has his own idea that we're going to be discussing 23 00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:10,000 today for a tech product. 24 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:10,680 Are you serious? 25 00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:13,440 So let's give that a listen and then we will discuss. 26 00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:14,200 I'm serious. 27 00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:14,760 It's about time. 28 00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:15,400 That's amazing. 29 00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:18,040 Many celebrities are submitting their ideas. 30 00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:19,520 This is the first of many. 31 00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:21,800 Hello, Scott. 32 00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:22,840 Hello, Russell. 33 00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:23,560 Hello, Leo. 34 00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:27,640 It is me, the man with great ideas and your friend, Ruben Rabasa. 35 00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:32,480 First of all, I love the name and the idea of your podcast. 36 00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:36,280 And trust me, I know a good idea when I hear one. 37 00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:39,320 I have a couple of ideas for an app. 38 00:01:39,320 --> 00:01:44,680 I think there should be an app where two or more friends can listen to the 39 00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:47,240 music at the same time in their headphones. 40 00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:47,880 Okay. 41 00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:52,920 And maybe even be able to talk between themselves. 42 00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:54,040 Oh, wow. 43 00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:54,880 That sounds good. 44 00:01:54,880 --> 00:02:00,440 And I also think there should be an app to make Paul shut up. 45 00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:01,440 Oh my God. 46 00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:06,040 I hope that none of you is steering will fly off the 47 00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:07,280 window while you're driving. 48 00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:07,800 Okay. 49 00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:09,080 So bye now. 50 00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:11,640 And please, please don't ever, ever forget about me. 51 00:02:11,640 --> 00:02:12,240 I love you. 52 00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:12,840 All of you. 53 00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:13,560 Bye now. 54 00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:15,760 So thank you for your message, Ruben. 55 00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:16,720 That was delightful. 56 00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:19,720 So we, uh, I did a little bit of research. 57 00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:23,640 There isn't really like a, of standalone app that does this, right? 58 00:02:23,640 --> 00:02:27,200 So you, you have two or more people who are synchronized listening and maybe 59 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:28,320 even discussing at the same time. 60 00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:32,680 Apple's FaceTime does have what they call share play now, where you can be on a 61 00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:36,640 FaceTime call and like start up Netflix and it syncs up or start up Spotify. 62 00:02:36,640 --> 00:02:40,520 I don't know if Spotify has support for that yet, but that could be an option. 63 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:43,520 But other than that, a lot of these are like a desktop app where you're all 64 00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:48,880 taking turns, adding something to the queue or like your group message, managing 65 00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:51,000 a queue of like a device in a room or something. 66 00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:58,360 I don't know about like discord, but for this, there was a discord app that did 67 00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:00,680 this until it got shut down by someone. 68 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,520 I can't remember what it's called, but I know I used it where you can be in the 69 00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:07,000 discord call and you can add things to the queue and you all had to have the 70 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,240 same, you know, it was a bot, I think. 71 00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:12,480 And it would pretend to be a user that would like pop into the voice channel. 72 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:14,960 And they were always a little bit hacky playing from YouTube or whatever. 73 00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:15,800 I use those too. 74 00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:19,080 Dude, this is like silent disco mode. 75 00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:22,480 So like you can just turn it on and everybody in the room can listen to the 76 00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:23,480 same stuff. 77 00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:24,720 That'd be dope. 78 00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:26,840 It is crazy that silent discos. 79 00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:31,120 So, uh, Hope College where we work still has one every once in a while, which is 80 00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:35,440 fun, but they use like giant headphones and radio FM transmitters and stuff. 81 00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:38,400 It does seem like something that should be dragged to the modern age where anyone 82 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:39,440 can just kind of do it. 83 00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:40,400 Right. 84 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:44,040 It's just, what do you, I don't even know how hard, this doesn't seem like a hard 85 00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:44,720 thing to do. 86 00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:48,880 It's just like Chromecast, but you send out the link to everybody at the same time. 87 00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:49,980 Right. 88 00:03:49,980 --> 00:03:54,000 Spotify even has a group like jam management system. 89 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,280 They just don't have called Spotify jams. 90 00:03:56,280 --> 00:04:00,880 Whenever you connect to a Bluetooth speaker, it's now on by default, much to 91 00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:03,120 everyone's embarrassment. 92 00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:08,320 So then you can like go on someone else's phone and add something to the queue that 93 00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:09,960 is, or is not maybe appropriate. 94 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:11,120 Like this show. 95 00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:15,160 Fitball.show. 96 00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:16,040 New feature. 97 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,400 You go around public places. 98 00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:19,200 Five gigahertz. 99 00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:20,200 Force other people's. 100 00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:22,200 Five gigahertz. 101 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:24,200 Thanks. 102 00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:24,680 Thanks. 103 00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:25,680 I'm a fan. 104 00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:30,040 Deep, deep, deep cut to episode six. 105 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:33,360 I was thinking the same thing, Sander. 106 00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:36,740 Yeah. 107 00:04:36,740 --> 00:04:37,560 Yeah. 108 00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:38,360 I'm surprised. 109 00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:40,160 Like this could work for YouTube videos. 110 00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:42,160 This would work great on like a plane. 111 00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:42,640 Right. 112 00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:44,280 When you're trying to watch the same show. 113 00:04:44,280 --> 00:04:45,060 Right. 114 00:04:45,060 --> 00:04:46,880 It's like tele party, but better. 115 00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:50,640 That's another extension thing that does sort of this, but it's not great. 116 00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:51,240 Tele party. 117 00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:51,800 Yeah. 118 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:53,560 It used to be called Netflix party. 119 00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:55,000 It yeah. 120 00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:55,320 Yeah. 121 00:04:55,320 --> 00:05:01,520 The Chrome extension that allows you to watch Netflix prime video YouTube at the 122 00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:03,240 same time, but it doesn't do it for music. 123 00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:04,200 I think so. 124 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:06,800 Another thing in this genre. 125 00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:10,320 It does seem like the airplane idea. 126 00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:15,200 Like, why is it that you can't like vote consensus on a plane and then half the 127 00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:17,480 plane or more watches the same thing? 128 00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:19,720 And you can have like a little discussion about it afterward. 129 00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:21,320 You're all trapped in a tube together. 130 00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:22,840 Wouldn't that be kind of fun? 131 00:05:22,840 --> 00:05:25,000 It's like an introvert's nightmare. 132 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:28,640 Not like physical discussion. 133 00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:30,520 Well, I guess you could do like voice. 134 00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:31,840 I guess I meant more foruming. 135 00:05:31,840 --> 00:05:35,440 Not only do I not get to choose what I get to watch, but I have to talk about it 136 00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:36,080 afterwards. 137 00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:39,680 You guys remember planes used to just be like, you'd have to share a screen for 138 00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:42,160 like the first, the next five rows behind you. 139 00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:44,520 And you're just stuck with what everybody's watching on the plane. 140 00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:45,880 Like that was it. 141 00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:49,880 The in-flight movie today will be, Oh, okay. 142 00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:53,240 I guess we're all watching the old ass dune or something. 143 00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:54,000 Snakes on a plane. 144 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:54,160 Yeah. 145 00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:54,360 Right. 146 00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:56,560 No, it's a great choice. 147 00:05:56,560 --> 00:06:01,000 Anyway, very tangential. 148 00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:06,680 I think there's a, like, um, in my coworking space at four o'clock every 149 00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:10,440 Friday, uh, black, uh, Rebecca black song. 150 00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:11,760 It's Friday comes on. 151 00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:15,720 I think that that should just be a thing for the planet. 152 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:18,520 Just at four o'clock across the planet. 153 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,880 Someone called Rebecca black. 154 00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:24,080 I don't see why. 155 00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:24,480 Yeah. 156 00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:27,160 It's just, it should be the anthem for Friday at four. 157 00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:31,040 Everybody just start, start wrapping up, you know, get out of here. 158 00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:33,040 Four o'clock Eastern. 159 00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:34,960 No, of course it can't be 1984. 160 00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,920 Screw you, Australia. 161 00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:40,280 Screw other places. 162 00:06:40,280 --> 00:06:41,240 Screw other shifts. 163 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:42,440 4:00 PM Eastern. 164 00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:43,200 That starts playing. 165 00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:45,360 Well, thank you very much for the idea. 166 00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:47,000 We will take that into consideration. 167 00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:50,640 And if someone wants to have that idea for free, please Spotify product 168 00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:53,200 manager who wants to get a promotion, add this feature. 169 00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:54,600 It does seem like something that'd be really cool. 170 00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:58,600 Like a way for me to stay connected to someone from afar. 171 00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:01,920 Let's start up a queue and listen to the same music for a couple of hours. 172 00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:03,320 And Russell, you're up this week. 173 00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:03,680 What's up? 174 00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:04,640 What do you got for us? 175 00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:05,280 All right. 176 00:07:05,280 --> 00:07:10,160 So I've been, uh, actually listening to more podcasts than normal and more. 177 00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:14,160 This one in particular is the best, uh, just on repeat. 178 00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:14,560 Yeah. 179 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:18,760 And you know, I'm starting to realize how frustrating, I just want to comment 180 00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:24,280 and communicate while I'm listening to podcasts to the podcasters, right? 181 00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:30,600 Like it's, I feel like we, as a podcaster myself, now I would love to have 182 00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:35,960 dialogue with our listeners or whoever is talking and wants to share 183 00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:37,480 something about the show, right? 184 00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:39,320 We have four segments. 185 00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:44,000 I just want somebody to leave a comment anywhere on our podcast. 186 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:48,280 And it, particularly if I say something terrible, I would love to see the 187 00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:55,040 comment chain correcting my behavior or telling me you're going to prison. 188 00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:56,400 When I talk about tax fraud. 189 00:07:56,400 --> 00:08:02,840 Um, I just, I'm surprised that you see these, uh, all over the place 190 00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:05,160 with YouTube having timestamps. 191 00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:11,080 Uh, you have SoundCloud having comments in the bar themselves as you're listening. 192 00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:16,440 Why isn't there a podcast app out there that exclusively does this, right? 193 00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:20,760 I feel like it's a game changer for podcasters and for the 194 00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:22,040 people listening to podcasts. 195 00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:25,480 Cause how cool would it be if like your favorite podcaster comments back on 196 00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:30,160 your, on your comment, like, or mentions it on the next podcast or like you 197 00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:34,840 create a podcast longevity rather than the single week or day that it's released. 198 00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:37,240 It's just a continuing conversation. 199 00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:42,120 Um, so yeah, that's what the better podcast app, I don't have a name for it, but 200 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:42,680 that's great. 201 00:08:42,680 --> 00:08:45,160 It's the social podcast. 202 00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:45,280 Yeah. 203 00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:45,720 That's great. 204 00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:46,120 Right. 205 00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:52,360 Like it's the BPA got the little like tick marks next to the progress bar. 206 00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:54,840 And it has a, this person said this at this time. 207 00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:55,160 Right. 208 00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:59,320 Uh, now that Google podcasts is shutting down and everything's moving to YouTube, 209 00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:01,360 it does seem like the natural place for that to live. 210 00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:05,360 Cause there's already built in comments and there's already a podcast platform 211 00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:05,560 there. 212 00:09:05,560 --> 00:09:07,040 People are publishing to YouTube. 213 00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:12,480 You just kind of have the comments scoot up and live up in the, uh, up in the 214 00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:13,320 progress bar itself. 215 00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:15,520 I think YouTube has a feature like that. 216 00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:20,040 Now where you can like, when you sort comments, you can sort by like at this 217 00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:22,640 point in the video, but I don't think it's like a live feed. 218 00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:23,440 Yeah. 219 00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:24,720 It doesn't look super great. 220 00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:29,280 Like in real time, you want to see the sort of like dark souls, like Elden ring 221 00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:33,440 where you've got the, like the people are not happening in real time here, but 222 00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:36,120 they're leaving notes for each other at places in the thing. 223 00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:36,360 Yeah. 224 00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:36,560 Yeah. 225 00:09:36,560 --> 00:09:36,840 Yeah. 226 00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:37,920 That's great. 227 00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:38,600 Yeah. 228 00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:40,880 And I'm sure you can make this more social. 229 00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:45,560 Like I'd love to see my friends comments or the top comments on podcasts. 230 00:09:45,560 --> 00:09:47,760 Like that's where it'd be really cool. 231 00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:51,920 And obviously you're not trying to like, hopefully you can make the app like very 232 00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:53,360 vocal friendly, right? 233 00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:56,520 Cause I feel like you're not, you're intentionally not watching your screen. 234 00:09:56,520 --> 00:10:02,120 So you just feel like leave a comment or Hey podcasty, you know, let me leave a 235 00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:06,480 comment at that, that point in time and it'll record your voice texts and then 236 00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:07,040 there it is. 237 00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:07,720 It's just done. 238 00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:09,040 You still listen to your podcast. 239 00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:09,680 You leave your notes. 240 00:10:09,680 --> 00:10:14,280 So you're saying like Leo could, Leo recommends podcasts all the time. 241 00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:17,720 Leo listens to a podcast ahead of time, leaves comments. 242 00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:22,040 And then I'm generally driving when I'm listening to a podcast as Leo's voice 243 00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:25,120 come on top of it, reading his comment at that particular spot. 244 00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:26,000 Or you think it's speech to text. 245 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:26,880 What were you thinking? 246 00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:31,520 Oh, I was thinking, I was thinking, yeah, speech to text, comment leaving, but you 247 00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:33,280 just made it way cooler, Scott. 248 00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:35,000 Like Leo left a comment here. 249 00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:36,000 Every three seconds. 250 00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:36,760 No, no, don't ask. 251 00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:38,760 Just Leo just appears in the background. 252 00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:40,120 Wasn't this part cool? 253 00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:43,680 I've watched movies next to Leo before. 254 00:10:43,680 --> 00:10:44,480 I know how it works. 255 00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:47,680 I can go back in time and leave a spoiler for the next three minutes 256 00:10:47,680 --> 00:10:48,840 to like, that'd be a dope. 257 00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:54,320 And you could like bring up or down the levels of both of the medium and 258 00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:55,680 the people who are talking. 259 00:10:55,680 --> 00:10:59,600 You could prioritize your people that are in your network over the random public. 260 00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:01,400 But I don't know. 261 00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:03,880 I feel like some people really hate the movie theater thing. 262 00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:06,520 You know, other people really like, like, can you believe it? 263 00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:08,280 What are they going to do next moments? 264 00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:08,560 Right. 265 00:11:09,560 --> 00:11:10,160 Hmm. 266 00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:12,560 That's really fun. 267 00:11:12,560 --> 00:11:13,160 Yeah. 268 00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:16,640 I didn't think about how you would listen or react to it. 269 00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:19,680 I feel like you'd listen to the podcast and then afterwards you'd kind of like 270 00:11:19,680 --> 00:11:21,240 browse through people's comments. 271 00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:21,640 Right. 272 00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:25,960 And see what people said about your favorite part of the podcast, where you 273 00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:27,720 left comments or something. 274 00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:31,760 A lot of people listen to podcasts, walking the dog, doing the dishes, driving is 275 00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:32,280 huge. 276 00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:37,640 So like having it actually live as native audio that people are adding to it is 277 00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:38,560 really interesting. 278 00:11:38,560 --> 00:11:39,040 Yeah. 279 00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:40,960 I also, I feel like it makes more revenue. 280 00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:44,560 Like I feel like you'd make more revenue as a podcaster because now you have 281 00:11:44,560 --> 00:11:48,960 advertisements maybe built in or ads when people are looking or listening. 282 00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:49,840 I don't know. 283 00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:53,960 You could throw, you could put more analytics behind your podcasts. 284 00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:58,160 You could have a really engaging podcast with low viewers or listenership. 285 00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:00,280 And now you're like creating a better experience. 286 00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:05,360 We're going to open the can of worms to this world of not Twitch streamers, but 287 00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:10,880 like podcast commenters where like, I never listened to the daily, but I always 288 00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:11,920 listened to the daily. 289 00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:14,960 What, you know, with Stephen Colbert has comments on top of it. 290 00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:17,480 That's interesting. 291 00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:19,800 I was thinking about the content moderation problem. 292 00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:23,680 You do have like, how do you keep the rando from just yelling Nazi, Nazi, Nazi, 293 00:12:23,680 --> 00:12:25,120 Nazi over it or whatever. 294 00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:29,280 You just, and your app, you'd be like, who, what comments do I want to overlay on 295 00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:29,880 this one? 296 00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:34,080 And you have your favorites of people that you trust that are fun, add humor or 297 00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:36,320 whatever to it or additional explanations. 298 00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:40,880 And we can do the Reddit model of like distributing moderation out to the 299 00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:46,320 podcasters, our admins, and they can elect other moderators to down rank or hide 300 00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:50,680 people who just scream whatever obscenities, you know, you could do like a 301 00:12:50,680 --> 00:12:57,000 transcription and voice the text and then highlight like swear words or yeah. 302 00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:58,240 Auto detect. 303 00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:02,880 But I like the idea of being able to subscribe to your favorite commentators. 304 00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:03,160 Yeah. 305 00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:03,800 That's really cool. 306 00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:10,520 Just being able to like, oh yeah, like famous comedian is being paid to do a 307 00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:12,800 bunch of riffs on this, this American life. 308 00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:13,440 Yeah. 309 00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:14,280 Yeah. 310 00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:19,120 It's like a watch along or like a riff tracks, you know, the mystery science 311 00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:19,360 theater. 312 00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:21,600 It's just, it's Riff podcast to react. 313 00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:22,120 Concept. 314 00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:24,720 Right. 315 00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:25,480 Right. 316 00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:30,360 The beauty of the podcast industry is that it's all built on like super old 317 00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:33,240 technology, RSS feeds and hosted files and stuff. 318 00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:35,040 And there's no one gatekeeper for it. 319 00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:35,360 Right. 320 00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:39,680 So like Apple doesn't choose who gets to be on the platform or not, because there 321 00:13:39,680 --> 00:13:40,840 is no one place. 322 00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:45,320 So this is really lucrative as a business because anyone can come in with this cool 323 00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:50,560 new app and like build on top of this open ecosystem and nothing's going to shut it 324 00:13:50,560 --> 00:13:50,880 down. 325 00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:54,240 You know, if you want to build a really cool podcast app, then just do it. 326 00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:55,400 I love that idea. 327 00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:56,320 That's so fun. 328 00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:56,720 Yeah. 329 00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:59,800 I guess I'm, I feel like this is such an obvious one. 330 00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:03,560 I feel like it exists and I just don't know where it is. 331 00:14:03,560 --> 00:14:06,240 And no, it's like 95% of the way there. 332 00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:12,320 YouTube's like 85%, but none of them have the, the real time community interaction 333 00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:12,560 thing. 334 00:14:12,560 --> 00:14:15,680 Like you're saying, all right, let's do this one. 335 00:14:15,680 --> 00:14:16,720 This is the one. 336 00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:18,280 This is the idea. 337 00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:19,200 No, no. 338 00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:20,120 You just gave it away. 339 00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:22,720 That's the whole conceit of the show. 340 00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:26,000 I've been given ideas away and nobody's building them. 341 00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:26,320 Right. 342 00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:29,320 So your time will come. 343 00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:30,880 Might as well just, yeah. 344 00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:36,120 We will be on a last slide in a Y Combinator pitch someday. 345 00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:40,520 Someone got our, their idea from this show and now they're a trillionaire and. 346 00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:44,400 There's going to be a podcast overlaid on top of us talking right now, explaining 347 00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:45,400 where all our ideas went. 348 00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:47,240 Here's why they're totally wrong. 349 00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:56,960 Leo, tell me what's your idea this time around? 350 00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:58,280 Not unrelated. 351 00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:04,600 So, uh, text to speech has gotten pretty good in recent months with these AI 352 00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:12,160 revolutions here and, um, things that you feed a bunch of text into can sound 353 00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:14,880 pretty natural to listen to in a way that they didn't last year. 354 00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:15,120 Right. 355 00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:22,240 So I want to combine Wikipedia, which has interesting factoids about places. 356 00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:24,040 Things are geo tagged in Wikipedia. 357 00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:30,080 You can load up a map view of Wikipedia and see local areas of interest that are 358 00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:30,840 like near you. 359 00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:31,120 Right. 360 00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:32,520 And combine that with audio. 361 00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:36,440 So I want to have a personalized tour guide. 362 00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:40,520 I pop in headphones while walking through the street in downtown Chicago, and it's 363 00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:44,360 telling me all about, Hey, did you know that that statue over there is this people 364 00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:46,680 do those audio tours in a museum, right? 365 00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:49,760 Where they walk from piece to piece and the little headphone thing tells them the 366 00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:50,640 pre-recorded piece. 367 00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:56,000 There are trillions of interesting factoids on the internet that could be 368 00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:59,920 harvested and told to me, even just as like a little background. 369 00:15:59,920 --> 00:16:01,880 Hey, you're on your commute right now. 370 00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:04,160 Did you know that that is a historical site over there? 371 00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:06,280 And that was from world war two and blah, blah, blah. 372 00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:11,160 I think that there's so much stuff around everybody who that they just don't know 373 00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:14,440 about, and it could be narrated on your phone. 374 00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:19,160 You've got location, you've got access to all of this content. 375 00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:20,120 It's free. 376 00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:26,240 Someone build a nicer interface where I don't have to like search, pull up and 377 00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:29,600 read through something, but have it be a little bit more naturally presented to me. 378 00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:30,720 By audio. 379 00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:31,800 I like it. 380 00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:37,640 It's like if AR, if we had augmented reality glasses that worked, but 381 00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:43,360 radio version, so meta introduced those Ray-Bans the most recent version has like, 382 00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:47,400 I'm looking at something and it says, Oh, that that's the Eiffel tower. 383 00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:48,760 It's this tall, right? 384 00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:51,920 It can kind of be a little bit aware of what you're looking at with a camera and 385 00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:54,080 image recognition, but yeah. 386 00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:55,880 But you're doing straight up GPS on here. 387 00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:56,400 Sure. 388 00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:57,400 I love that. 389 00:16:57,400 --> 00:16:59,640 You know that I'm a couple of hundred feet from that church. 390 00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:04,040 Hey, did you know that that church was actually built by the KKK? 391 00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:04,640 Oh shit. 392 00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:05,360 No, I didn't know that. 393 00:17:05,360 --> 00:17:07,720 Or whatever. 394 00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:07,960 Right. 395 00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:08,600 Wikipedia. 396 00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:10,080 There's got to be stuff like that. 397 00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:11,000 Probably burn it down. 398 00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:13,000 I don't know. 399 00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:14,080 It's in a black mirror quick. 400 00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:14,400 Great. 401 00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:23,720 And it could even like generate little walking tours for you. 402 00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:24,120 Sure. 403 00:17:24,120 --> 00:17:31,440 Like here's like use the AI stuff to be like, here are 10 great places to visit in X. 404 00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:32,560 And it does that. 405 00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:35,760 It uses something like open street map to do the navigation. 406 00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:37,720 It like navigates you turn by turn. 407 00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:38,080 Yeah. 408 00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:40,760 People pay a lot of money for guidance like this. 409 00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:44,840 And I feel like, uh, uh, we could even build a community around it. 410 00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:49,000 So I am a frequent contributor to this app and I've built a bunch of. 411 00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:53,280 Here's a neat 30 minute route through five local parks and some 412 00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:54,600 interesting factoids about them. 413 00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:58,040 You make it like a sourced community thing. 414 00:17:58,040 --> 00:17:58,320 Yeah. 415 00:17:58,320 --> 00:17:59,640 That's a really good idea. 416 00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:05,320 I, I, I paid when I had my work team in town or remote full remote, I ended 417 00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:07,000 up paying for a walking tour. 418 00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:08,760 That's 20 bucks a person. 419 00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:12,760 And there's like 15 people and it's just her, it's a guided tour. 420 00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:16,840 It's literally what you said is the app, but a human person doing it. 421 00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:17,160 Sure. 422 00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:19,680 Uh, which actually is kind of weird. 423 00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:24,040 Cause we, we had some random person join our walking tour in the middle of it. 424 00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:27,200 Uh, and he's like, all right, I'm just going to join this. 425 00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:27,440 Right. 426 00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:30,200 So it avoids that whole thing, that awkward situation. 427 00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:32,600 But you would never do that just for yourself, right? 428 00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:34,640 Like a walking tour of one. 429 00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:38,320 You know, who was our, who was our special guest today? 430 00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:42,000 I feel like this would be a perfect, we get a whole group of people and now 431 00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:45,000 instead of it being a walking tour of one, it's like five people all listening 432 00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:46,600 to the walking tour at the same time. 433 00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:47,120 Right. 434 00:18:47,120 --> 00:18:52,080 And now it's just, uh, yeah, I don't see why that can't be a thing too. 435 00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:54,520 We can all leave comments at different points along the way. 436 00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:56,080 GPS tagged. 437 00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:57,080 Yeah. 438 00:18:57,080 --> 00:18:58,720 Um, this boy, Leo said this. 439 00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:03,680 There's a Nike running app too, where you can like post your runs and stuff. 440 00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:07,960 You can like kind of share your, your walking tour or something. 441 00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:11,560 If we got really fan like, Oh, this is my favorite tour. 442 00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:13,400 You walk around this, this area. 443 00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:15,840 It does seem like it would be a good exercise companion. 444 00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:19,200 If you're a jogger or something, you're just going around and Hey, did you know 445 00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:23,120 that that fountain over in that park over there is from this and it represents that. 446 00:19:23,120 --> 00:19:24,040 And yeah. 447 00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:30,200 Oh, and I bet there's like multiple, I bet you could rotate between, uh, different 448 00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:33,400 factoids too, so you can, every walk is different. 449 00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:34,120 Mm hmm. 450 00:19:34,120 --> 00:19:34,600 Mm hmm. 451 00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:36,680 It'll keep track of your history and not repeat. 452 00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:39,560 And people are adding new stuff all the time to Wikipedia. 453 00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:40,560 That's the beauty of it, right? 454 00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:41,560 Mm hmm. 455 00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:42,880 Always up to date. 456 00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:43,360 Yeah. 457 00:19:43,360 --> 00:19:48,440 This sort of reminds me of, so Leo knows this, but I'm a pretty avid geocacher. 458 00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:52,080 And a couple of years ago they introduced something called adventure labs, which is 459 00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:55,040 basically just user created walking tours. 460 00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:57,640 So you can, or driving tours or boating tours. 461 00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:01,920 So you pick, so you can pick five points of interests and you go to each location 462 00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:03,480 and answer a little question about them. 463 00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:08,560 But like, this seems like just that for the masses throw in some AI, but like 464 00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:13,160 when people create walking tours who aren't just like tourism boards, really 465 00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:18,160 interesting stuff results I've done, like historic school houses of the county we 466 00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:22,200 live in or like covered bridges or stuff like that. 467 00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:27,800 So I just think when you combine the subsets of the Venn diagram of people who 468 00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:33,560 love maps with people who love other niche interests, like totally like you get the 469 00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:36,440 train people on this, like, right. 470 00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:41,960 There's probably a lot of local tourism boards who've built tours and interesting 471 00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:46,360 fact databases and stuff like this that are just sitting locked away in a 472 00:20:46,360 --> 00:20:47,560 spreadsheet somewhere. 473 00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:50,920 And if they could contribute that to Wikipedia, not only could this app use it, 474 00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:53,800 but then the whole world has access to that stuff. 475 00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:55,120 Walkipedia. 476 00:20:55,120 --> 00:20:57,800 Oh, you found it. 477 00:20:57,800 --> 00:20:58,240 It is. 478 00:20:58,240 --> 00:20:59,880 There it is. 479 00:20:59,880 --> 00:21:00,560 Nailed it. 480 00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:02,960 And that's it. 481 00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:03,640 Walkipedia. 482 00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:06,000 Waka waka pedia for the funny version. 483 00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:08,600 Man, visitor bureaus, Leo. 484 00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:14,080 I do like the idea of driving tours too. 485 00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:18,800 So you can do your own like trolley experience, right. 486 00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:20,000 But you're in the car. 487 00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:21,560 Yeah. 488 00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:25,400 Or I think this would be really cool because when you first visit, like you're 489 00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:27,200 visiting a city for the first time, right. 490 00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:29,760 It's really hard to like create your itinerary. 491 00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:33,560 So I wonder if you take this instead of it being like an educational thing, it's 492 00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:38,560 just like, hey, go on a tour with a tourist who knows the area really well. 493 00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:41,520 And you kind of just drive in this area. 494 00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:44,280 And now they're saying, oh, that's a really good bar at night. 495 00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:45,240 Oh, that's really busy. 496 00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:46,960 You don't want to go there after five. 497 00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:51,880 Like literally just some person in your car telling as a local telling you what 498 00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:53,280 you should and shouldn't do. 499 00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:53,720 Yeah. 500 00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:54,480 That's pretty good. 501 00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:54,800 Yeah. 502 00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:57,480 Don't go to this bar after midnight. 503 00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:00,080 Or go to and go to that bar. 504 00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:00,480 Right. 505 00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:01,840 But you go to this one. 506 00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:04,400 I, there is some value there. 507 00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:11,240 I think that is missed that it outside of like maybe pulling data contributors to 508 00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:15,960 walking tours, there are so many like local historian geeks that would love to 509 00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:17,240 do walking tours. 510 00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:22,080 Um, and you can, they can do like a sample or that could be their like freemium 511 00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:28,320 version of, of their walking tour is like, yeah, download my, my walking tour. 512 00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:30,720 And I got five more in the, in the oven. 513 00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:31,960 You just got to call me right. 514 00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:34,760 Or hell they could just be selling it, right. 515 00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:40,720 You just sell different audio books for walking tours and now that are location 516 00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:42,000 aware that are, yeah, right. 517 00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:47,120 I want to get that knowledge out of their head and onto some publicly 518 00:22:47,120 --> 00:22:51,760 scrapable thing so I could put it in an AI blender and have it, you know, magic 519 00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:54,920 me, but it is, it makes sense to have this big community base too. 520 00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:58,640 You get your people who are like well rated, like a good Uber driver, but a good 521 00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:00,040 local tour guide. 522 00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:00,480 Yeah. 523 00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:01,160 Yeah. 524 00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:05,360 It's kind of like a, yeah, like authorship, but vocally right. 525 00:23:05,360 --> 00:23:09,440 You get Morgan Freeman to do the voice of your, of your tour. 526 00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:12,880 And now it's like, Oh, I'll buy the $10 version. 527 00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:16,520 The premium Morgan Freeman version or Snoop dog. 528 00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:22,640 Like that's, that's also like have some sort of like passive mode where it's just 529 00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:25,040 like random factoid mode. 530 00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:27,720 So rather than like a guided tour, just have it on. 531 00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:32,960 It's basically just like if you had me in the car, just being like, it's just called 532 00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:37,520 saying that old building that used to be like a Meyer 50 years ago. 533 00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:40,640 That's great. 534 00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:41,200 I love that. 535 00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:45,360 And people, so you've got your map and then people are leaving much like the 536 00:23:45,360 --> 00:23:49,120 podcast comments, just notes in the area and you're, you're getting fed them 537 00:23:49,120 --> 00:23:51,200 randomly and they get upvoted or downvoted. 538 00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:52,640 So they are more likely to appear. 539 00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:54,520 It's like yik yak sort of. 540 00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:56,800 Yes. 541 00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:59,840 We're on the same wavelength, dude. 542 00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:03,240 Audio bullying. 543 00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:09,120 It's just, we're making fun of places now because we can't make fun of people 544 00:24:09,120 --> 00:24:09,600 anymore. 545 00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:14,760 You're running up against some content moderation, nightmare hell rides, I think. 546 00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:16,560 Oh, you could figure it out. 547 00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:20,440 Eventually you can have little sliders inside the app that says how educational 548 00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:23,360 do you want this versus how completely useless do you want this? 549 00:24:23,360 --> 00:24:25,280 And then you can filter it, right? 550 00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:28,200 Like not safe for work mode, right? 551 00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:30,000 You just listen to all the hate. 552 00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:33,840 That's your famous homes of adult actors. 553 00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:39,640 Whoa, that would be kind of shocking. 554 00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:42,560 Like our little, our sweet little town. 555 00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:45,960 And you're just like, Oh wow, that happened there. 556 00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:49,560 There's probably stories. 557 00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:49,880 Yeah. 558 00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:51,360 That are locked up in people's heads. 559 00:24:51,360 --> 00:24:53,160 Getting them put out somewhere. 560 00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:53,600 It'd be fun. 561 00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:56,520 I could start some really mad rumors, dude. 562 00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:59,000 I could start some crazy rumors. 563 00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:03,360 The original Stroopwafel was launched at this home. 564 00:25:03,360 --> 00:25:04,560 Yeah. 565 00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:06,280 I don't know how you do fact checking at scale. 566 00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:06,880 That's tough. 567 00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:09,920 It gets people, it gets people on the app though. 568 00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:12,600 I bet if you just put out some, just lie. 569 00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:13,280 Yeah. 570 00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:17,480 Everybody's going to be like, that's how next door is like alive is because people 571 00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:22,240 just need to communicate the truth to these liars, right? 572 00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:27,200 Like half the people on there are just correcting false information. 573 00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:30,320 When neighbors start talking, good things happen. 574 00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:31,880 Isn't that their slogan? 575 00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:35,320 Is that what they say? 576 00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:36,280 Good things happen? 577 00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:36,560 Yeah. 578 00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:41,640 Oh, that's, I hope that's a self-fulfilling prophecy because they need a lot of that. 579 00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:43,720 You see the people on there. 580 00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:47,200 God damn it, Diane, your cat's in my backyard again. 581 00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:52,680 Our next door is actually pretty tame because it's just a bunch of middle aged 582 00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:54,360 women selling each other lawn furniture. 583 00:25:54,360 --> 00:25:57,680 In December. 584 00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:04,400 Every once in a while though, like the top comment, like once a month or once every 585 00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:09,000 other week, you'd just be like, Oh, that's going to start a fire up in here. 586 00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:10,280 I don't know. 587 00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:14,200 I kind of love the idea of being able to drive down a street and just listen to the 588 00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:16,080 random neighbor arguments that are happening. 589 00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:19,920 Just what's the T in this area going through? 590 00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:25,200 Well, this guy freaking Frank's fence over here is encroaching on my rose bushes. 591 00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:30,840 The minute that you introduce replies on the geo map, the walkopedia, oh boy. 592 00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:34,040 That's when things really pop off. 593 00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:35,520 It's just Godwin's law. 594 00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:42,320 All right, Scott, what do you got for us this week? 595 00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:45,760 It was kind of an unspoken rule for when we started this podcast. 596 00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:49,520 Like let's stay, stay back from AI just because we can't just have like, here's a 597 00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:50,120 cool idea. 598 00:26:50,120 --> 00:26:51,160 AI is going to solve it. 599 00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:52,400 It was all the rage here. 600 00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:53,120 Yep. 601 00:26:53,120 --> 00:26:57,600 Well, man, AI is doing some cool things to, uh, nowadays. 602 00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:01,200 And one that I keep getting hung up on is chat. 603 00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:04,240 GPT has there in their app. 604 00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:06,160 You can upload images now. 605 00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:10,920 So you take an, put an image into the app and it'll give you a full description of 606 00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:11,600 what's happening there. 607 00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:15,960 I took, you know, a picture of my dog last night and chat GPT, what's going on in 608 00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:16,400 this image? 609 00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:21,040 Oh, there's a Brown dog sitting on a couch with a yellow collar, uh, surrounded on 610 00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:24,000 this color couch and it'll give you as much detail as you want on it. 611 00:27:24,360 --> 00:27:28,520 So at the same time, they've also started releasing different APIs where you can 612 00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:31,440 connect chat GPT to pretty much anything. 613 00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:35,720 Now that they're into different apps like Zapier and whatnot, it's as easy as just 614 00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:38,440 like, I want this to do this when this happens. 615 00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:40,760 And so here's what I want to do. 616 00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:46,400 I want to take a cheap piece of hardware, like a wise camera or just a webcam, have 617 00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:51,760 it hooked up to a chat GPT API to analyze images and trigger outputs based upon what 618 00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:52,280 it's seeing. 619 00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:53,280 And that's it. 620 00:27:53,360 --> 00:27:55,240 This is like, this is all no code. 621 00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:59,400 So anyone can use this to do pretty much anything. 622 00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:04,100 I can take a camera, point it at my car outside and be like, if this car moves at 623 00:28:04,100 --> 00:28:07,760 any point, send me a text, turn on a light, do whatever. 624 00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:12,600 But it's all based on me verbally describing something instead of having to have any 625 00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:14,240 knowledge of coding whatsoever. 626 00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:18,920 All with a $20 piece of hardware that plugs in over USB or whatever. 627 00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:19,480 That's fun. 628 00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:20,440 Dude. 629 00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:21,120 Okay, Scott. 630 00:28:21,120 --> 00:28:23,280 That's so it's like a stakeout. 631 00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:23,920 Right. 632 00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:26,320 You're like a cop staking out. 633 00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:27,200 That's a good name. 634 00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:32,880 The stake is like, I guess watch, just watch mode, you know, your robot, uh, 635 00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:34,600 watchman, or is it more than that? 636 00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:35,640 Is it like eyeball? 637 00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:41,120 Like, just like you're telling command to a camera to watch for something, right? 638 00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:45,800 Maybe it is just like a stakeout thing where I can, it would be the equivalent of 639 00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:51,080 me having a person staring at something, letting me know when something happens. 640 00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:56,200 So I'm hiring a cheap PI with a cell phone to call me when X happens. 641 00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:57,360 Hmm. 642 00:28:57,360 --> 00:29:00,000 See, the thing is though, those API calls, right? 643 00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:04,520 You're running those every frame, every second, you know, you got to figure out 644 00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:06,720 that, but yeah. 645 00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:13,400 And, uh, the wise cams that you mentioned used to have an onboard machine learning 646 00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:17,440 model and they'd be able to tell this as a person, this is a whatever as hardware 647 00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:18,040 is getting better. 648 00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:20,240 It seems like we could do like, that's true. 649 00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:24,880 Google's barred now has a version that runs on phones. 650 00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:27,000 That's like a small, large language model. 651 00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:31,440 It seems like we're on the cusp of being able to put something just good enough 652 00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:34,960 for basic, you know, image recognition onto the device itself and have it run 653 00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:35,400 locally. 654 00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:36,720 It's open source. 655 00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:40,520 Now you can download some open source model that would probably do this job 656 00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:42,120 decently well too. 657 00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:47,040 So the hardware is you could, it's a couple, maybe a couple of gigs actually 658 00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:51,960 to run, I don't know how much RAM you need, but it's a run an AI model and have 659 00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:52,600 it watch it. 660 00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:57,400 So dude, staking out, uh, certain things is cool. 661 00:29:57,400 --> 00:29:58,800 Interesting. 662 00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:02,760 Well, Scott, you and I at work have a problem that something like this could 663 00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:06,760 solve, which is trying to count people who are moving through a space and all of 664 00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:09,840 the existing solutions that have some big Achilles heel. 665 00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:14,040 So if you could have a camera that's literally watching how many people have 666 00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:15,920 come through, how long have they been in this? 667 00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:16,760 How are they gone? 668 00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:17,960 Cause it's AI. 669 00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:22,720 It could track who, if you wanted it to be like, this person is hogging the 670 00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:23,560 conference room. 671 00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:30,240 This person's name is Derek and you're going to remember that this is Derek. 672 00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:30,680 Got it. 673 00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:31,320 That's Derek. 674 00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:33,440 Now tell me every time Derek does something. 675 00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:33,720 Yeah. 676 00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:36,120 I mean, that's the kind of thing we're coming up on, right? 677 00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:37,360 Oh man. 678 00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:41,800 Please describe what Derek's doing to me every five minutes and then just give me 679 00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:42,600 a play by play. 680 00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:43,480 Yikes. 681 00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:46,560 Yeah, this is get really dystopian really quick. 682 00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:47,920 Keep an eye on my wife. 683 00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:49,000 Don't let her leave the house. 684 00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:54,800 Honestly, I'm trying to think of like not crazy, sketchy uses of this. 685 00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:57,280 I'm trying to come up with a trail cam hunters. 686 00:30:57,280 --> 00:30:57,920 Like great. 687 00:30:57,920 --> 00:30:58,680 Awesome. 688 00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:07,560 Like, like, you know, this track, this deer or like farmers keep an eye on this 689 00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:07,960 cow. 690 00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:10,360 If this cow starts to act weird, let me know. 691 00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:12,800 Keep an eye on my pet while I'm away. 692 00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:15,040 Sander, we need your positive spin on more things. 693 00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:15,280 Yeah. 694 00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:16,720 Pet monitor one would be great. 695 00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:18,480 Whenever my pet does something really cute. 696 00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:19,760 Keep it recorded. 697 00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:20,960 That's a great one. 698 00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:22,000 Oh, look at that. 699 00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:24,400 They're sleeping on their back with their paws up in the air. 700 00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:25,480 Look at that. 701 00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:28,400 My camera just told me they were watching it and now they told me. 702 00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:30,800 Automatically post it on Reddit. 703 00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:38,400 Cute detector. 704 00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:42,840 It's just like watching your dog all day and sends you cute photos of your dog. 705 00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:46,120 I just have Dolly generating pictures of my dog. 706 00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:47,160 Now I don't bother taking him. 707 00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:49,280 Does it need to be real? 708 00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:50,840 It just needs to happen. 709 00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:51,960 It's all about that karma. 710 00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:52,800 I'm just chasing it. 711 00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:59,520 Is there a particular like thing where you wish that you could use this? 712 00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:00,920 That you could use it for? 713 00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:07,000 Honestly, no, I was just more excited about the fact that someone with zero coding 714 00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:11,920 background could, we're getting very close to where they could be like, I want this to 715 00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:13,920 do this and that's it. 716 00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:19,600 If this, then that, but for anything in real time with nothing more than vocalizing 717 00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:19,720 it. 718 00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:21,400 I have a problem at work that this would solve. 719 00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:24,640 We have a presence sensor that's working really well. 720 00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:30,440 It tells us when a room is occupied or not, but the history of who is in the room and 721 00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:33,880 who's not is locked in there like smart home platform ecosystem. 722 00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:38,440 You have to use their bad app to get at the data and they have an API and one of the 723 00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:41,840 many, many projects on my plate has been, I need to write an integration cause there's 724 00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:46,720 no if this than that or Zapier for this particular smart home ecosystem to get at the 725 00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:50,640 data and write to a spreadsheet every time someone comes or leaves the room to know 726 00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:52,520 how often is this conference room used? 727 00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:57,280 I wish that I could just take your cool camera and point it in there and say, whenever 728 00:32:57,280 --> 00:33:02,000 someone is in here, write to a spreadsheet and then I have a list of how often this 729 00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:03,400 room actually is being used. 730 00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:04,480 Love that. 731 00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:10,720 Dude, the amount of energy you would save doing that alone for like HVAC systems 732 00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:16,000 turning on and off, like that's a huge, you'd make so much savings. 733 00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:18,600 Like I did that for like a year. 734 00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:23,440 I was doing a startup where we take presence and Google calendars and Outlook 735 00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:26,720 calendars and turn on and off facilities. 736 00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:28,280 So it's just like, Whoa. 737 00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:30,520 Oh, I see. 738 00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:33,520 Like to save heat or lights or something. 739 00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:34,840 Is there no one in this building? 740 00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:35,960 Turn it all off. 741 00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:37,040 Oh, that's cool. 742 00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:41,080 Campus of the college that I work at, I recently helped somebody retire and they were 743 00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:45,840 instrumental in orchestrating the argument for why we should shut down between Christmas 744 00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:50,600 and New Year's and the hundreds of thousands of dollars that it saves to not have people 745 00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:55,960 plowing the sidewalks and going around and heating the buildings, like you said, and 746 00:33:55,960 --> 00:34:00,480 doing all the stuff you have to do to keep a business open is enormous. 747 00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:02,800 Changing the garbage cans, right? 748 00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:05,000 Like all the, yeah, everything. 749 00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:05,800 I love it. 750 00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:06,240 Everything. 751 00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:06,560 Yeah. 752 00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:06,920 Right. 753 00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:07,560 It's insane. 754 00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:13,160 You know, but I think too, Scott, you could probably do stuff like a package, right? 755 00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:19,400 Like I want to know

00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:28,000 or message, Hey, did it snow more than an inch outside? 758 00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:31,160 Call the plow guy to plow it at 4 AM or whatever. 759 00:34:31,160 -->

00:34:57,320 Sold phones at Target and the AP guys, like they're, they're intense people. 770 00:34:57,320 --> 00:35:00,200 It's just like, I couldn't be a cop, so I'm going to be an AP guy at Target. 771 00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:06,640 Literally prevention. 772 00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:09,640 What is AP asset protection? 773 00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:15,600 Yeah, this guy would literally like hide behind shelves, like secret with a walkie, 774 00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:21,120 you know, is he turned in the corner, you know, and I'm like, dude, this is, I get 775 00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:21,280 it. 776 00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:26,240 Like he's stealing an Xbox 360 controller again, but like you don't have to go full 777 00:35:26,240 --> 00:35:29,720 mission impossible on this, but yeah, I get it. 778 00:35:29,720 --> 00:35:31,840 You're probably, your bonuses probably caught up in that. 779 00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:32,960 But anyways. 780 00:35:34,240 --> 00:35:39,760 Yeah, the consumer friendly version of this. 781 00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:48,400 This reminds me, do you guys remember this movie, this Disney movie, the smart mom 782 00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:48,880 home? 783 00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:49,800 No. 784 00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:50,520 Did you guys watch this? 785 00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:51,960 Like, I think that was a dream you had. 786 00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:55,720 No, there was a movie called Smart House, I think. 787 00:35:55,720 --> 00:35:56,760 Yes. 788 00:35:56,760 --> 00:35:57,160 I don't know. 789 00:35:57,160 --> 00:36:02,560 It was a mom, like it turned into a mom of the home and it would trap the kids inside 790 00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:07,440 and like became like, because it was so much safer in the, I don't know, it was just 791 00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:08,600 like a crazy. 792 00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:09,680 Smart House. 793 00:36:09,680 --> 00:36:11,120 But you're saying you want to love it. 794 00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:12,840 It was directed by LeVar Burton. 795 00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:17,040 Guys, that freaked me out back in the day. 796 00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:17,680 I don't know why. 797 00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:18,280 I was just like. 798 00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:20,480 We're digging into your childhood trauma now. 799 00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:25,000 That was like an unreason, like for me, it was not, it wasn't supposed to be a scary 800 00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:26,480 movie, but then it became one. 801 00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:30,920 It was just like, I don't know, but it reminds me of that a little bit. 802 00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:34,200 Like, I mean, there's but maybe not the evil version. 803 00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:38,000 Just like, how do you make the good version would be just like a homekeeper. 804 00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:41,960 Like, you always leave your laundry in the same damn spot. 805 00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:43,680 Why don't you put a basket there? 806 00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:48,640 You dummy, like, uh, is this a new laundry chute? 807 00:36:48,640 --> 00:36:50,840 I just I just feel it. 808 00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:54,560 I just feel like that's what I would say to myself if I was trying to take care of 809 00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:55,160 myself. 810 00:36:55,160 --> 00:36:59,400 Like, honestly, I would even use that just pointed at my laundry machine and be like, 811 00:36:59,920 --> 00:37:03,360 let me know when my laundry is done so I could remember to freaking put it in the 812 00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:03,880 dryer. 813 00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:09,600 Shoot, that's a great that's a great simple example of how. 814 00:37:09,600 --> 00:37:09,920 Yeah. 815 00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:13,880 Yeah, this is that is staking out that stake out right there. 816 00:37:13,880 --> 00:37:19,480 Like, watch this thing and make it tell me when it's when you see a light turn green 817 00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:19,760 here. 818 00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:20,080 Yeah. 819 00:37:20,080 --> 00:37:24,440 And you don't have to use fancy sensors and connect it to a microcomputer and all 820 00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:25,040 that stuff. 821 00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:26,760 It just can like look at it. 822 00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:27,200 Yeah. 823 00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:29,520 Tell me when this paint is dry. 824 00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:31,920 It's just watching paint dry. 825 00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:39,680 That's why robots are going to overthrow us out of anger and boredom. 826 00:37:39,680 --> 00:37:44,560 I feel like there's other areas where you're like watching something like when when are 827 00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:47,160 you in life just like waiting for the microwave? 828 00:37:47,160 --> 00:37:49,720 Well, I mean, they got the ding right? 829 00:37:49,720 --> 00:37:50,640 Like, when are you just. 830 00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:55,280 Yeah, but I mean, like everybody like watches their microwave the last 30 seconds. 831 00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:57,800 I feel like that's just a proverbial pot boiling. 832 00:37:58,320 --> 00:38:01,080 Yes, that's not a bad idea. 833 00:38:01,080 --> 00:38:01,800 Like the chef. 834 00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:02,040 Yeah. 835 00:38:02,040 --> 00:38:02,480 Right. 836 00:38:02,480 --> 00:38:05,240 Just like helping you go while you're cooking. 837 00:38:05,240 --> 00:38:07,720 Like those noodles look done. 838 00:38:07,720 --> 00:38:09,080 Is this done? 839 00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:10,360 Hold it up to camera. 840 00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:11,920 Is this golden brown? 841 00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:12,800 Keep an eye on these. 842 00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:14,440 Dude, put it in an oven. 843 00:38:14,440 --> 00:38:17,280 It'll tell you like, oh, you're getting close. 844 00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:22,240 Pizza's almost done because even if you set the time right, you know, give it some 845 00:38:22,240 --> 00:38:25,720 physical hardware to give it a temperature sensor, but it can also look at it. 846 00:38:25,720 --> 00:38:27,480 An oven one's a cool idea. 847 00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:28,800 Yes. 848 00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:29,600 Oh yeah. 849 00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:31,440 It you don't have to connect anything to it. 850 00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:34,200 It can just visually read a temperature sensor that's in there. 851 00:38:34,200 --> 00:38:35,280 They can prove the smart fridge. 852 00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:37,080 Put it in your fridge and forget about it. 853 00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:39,920 And then when you're at the store, you can say, how much milk did I have left? 854 00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:40,680 Yes. 855 00:38:40,680 --> 00:38:42,680 This is the appliance. 856 00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:44,040 This is for appliances, Scott. 857 00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:45,960 This is, this is where you go with this. 858 00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:48,760 This might be for appliances. 859 00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:50,080 It's totally okay. 860 00:38:50,080 --> 00:38:51,720 Totally not dystopian. 861 00:38:51,720 --> 00:38:55,600 And it's just like smart, like make you a better cook. 862 00:38:56,360 --> 00:38:58,200 Maintain your fridge better. 863 00:38:58,200 --> 00:38:58,680 Right? 864 00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:00,720 You got moldy cheese in your drawer. 865 00:39:00,720 --> 00:39:04,520 I'm looking at it like the camera's telling you. 866 00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:07,520 Clean out your thing. 867 00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:08,560 It's green, right? 868 00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:12,800 It's just, there's a Coke can in the back of your fridge. 869 00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:14,880 You know, you should probably pick that up and move it. 870 00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:15,120 Right? 871 00:39:15,120 --> 00:39:16,400 This is like the stupid shit. 872 00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:19,240 Expired three years ago. 873 00:39:19,240 --> 00:39:19,480 Yeah. 874 00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:21,520 The amount of savings. 875 00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:26,320 I feel like just throwing out the jars in your fridge drawer, like cabinet. 876 00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:26,840 Yes. 877 00:39:26,840 --> 00:39:29,840 That's for her $20 webcam. 878 00:39:29,840 --> 00:39:33,560 You fire up the app and you look at it and it's highlighted the four things in 879 00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:35,480 your fridge door that expired this week. 880 00:39:35,480 --> 00:39:36,280 Oh man. 881 00:39:36,280 --> 00:39:38,120 It tracks when you put them in there. 882 00:39:38,120 --> 00:39:39,080 Yeah. 883 00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:43,080 So be like eight days ago on that Alfredo sauce, time to go. 884 00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:43,880 All right. 885 00:39:43,880 --> 00:39:46,920 Let me go through and I'm checking off. 886 00:39:46,920 --> 00:39:48,200 Where is it here? 887 00:39:48,200 --> 00:39:49,160 For fridges. 888 00:39:49,160 --> 00:39:52,040 Uh, fridge pressure pads plus cameras. 889 00:39:52,040 --> 00:39:52,560 Check. 890 00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:54,920 That was on my list of things to talk about someday. 891 00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:59,960 I'm seriously after this, going to take a picture of my fridge with chat, GPT 892 00:39:59,960 --> 00:40:01,400 and be like, just describe what's in here. 893 00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:02,240 Tell me what you see. 894 00:40:02,240 --> 00:40:03,320 And I want to see what it can come up with. 895 00:40:03,320 --> 00:40:07,240 Oh, you pointed out there and you say, here's the three shelves that I have. 896 00:40:07,240 --> 00:40:08,360 Here's what's in my cabinet. 897 00:40:08,360 --> 00:40:11,080 What are some novel recipes I could make with all this stuff? 898 00:40:11,080 --> 00:40:11,680 Oh yeah. 899 00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:12,480 Love that. 900 00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:15,760 What do I, what can I make for dinner tonight that I probably haven't heard of? 901 00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:19,120 You could make a pizza out of ketchup instead of pizza sauce. 902 00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:20,200 No, come on. 903 00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:25,280 It's a robot taste bud. 904 00:40:25,280 --> 00:40:25,560 Right. 905 00:40:25,560 --> 00:40:32,520 All right, Sander. 906 00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:33,320 What do you got? 907 00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:34,080 All right. 908 00:40:34,080 --> 00:40:40,320 So this is sort of related to Leo's, I guess, as a college student, I frequently 909 00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:42,640 witness freshmen year after year. 910 00:40:42,640 --> 00:40:47,160 Now that I'm a scene here doing the same things that freshmen just always do. 911 00:40:47,160 --> 00:40:49,840 And because they don't know better. 912 00:40:49,840 --> 00:40:53,440 And so I was thinking, so there's sort of the big umbrella and then a 913 00:40:53,440 --> 00:40:55,000 specific idea that inspired it. 914 00:40:55,000 --> 00:41:01,880 Some sort of app to help new college students where you can like, just have 915 00:41:01,880 --> 00:41:04,680 all of these little things and it's sort of location based. 916 00:41:04,680 --> 00:41:08,480 So as you walk up to things, it'll be like, you don't need to put in your 917 00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:10,160 door code for the dining hall door. 918 00:41:10,160 --> 00:41:11,640 You could just tap your ID. 919 00:41:11,640 --> 00:41:15,920 But what this was sort of inspired by, so there's sort of all these 920 00:41:15,920 --> 00:41:17,720 other things inspired by that. 921 00:41:17,720 --> 00:41:19,560 But the sort of core concept was. 922 00:41:19,560 --> 00:41:22,880 There's a bunch of great things for driving directions. 923 00:41:22,920 --> 00:41:27,000 And even maybe walking directions, but not for the specific environment of 924 00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:33,200 navigating a college campus, because even on our small college campus, people take 925 00:41:33,200 --> 00:41:36,480 the craziest routes between buildings because they don't know better. 926 00:41:36,480 --> 00:41:41,040 So some sort of app where you can plug in your, your class, your next class, how 927 00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:44,480 long you have to get to your, and you just sort of hold it up and it will just 928 00:41:44,480 --> 00:41:49,720 sort of direct you cut through this building, go up these stairs, don't turn 929 00:41:49,720 --> 00:41:53,080 this way to like help you navigate. 930 00:41:53,080 --> 00:41:55,760 And this could even be used for like big office complexes. 931 00:41:55,760 --> 00:42:01,160 Oh no, my meeting ran long and now I've got to get to the executive wing. 932 00:42:01,160 --> 00:42:02,480 How do I do that? 933 00:42:02,480 --> 00:42:09,640 So like core idea, some sort of fancy navigation, secondary idea, just general. 934 00:42:09,640 --> 00:42:15,280 Platform that exists somewhere in between an official thing and like, yeah. 935 00:42:16,280 --> 00:42:19,680 Cause like college sponsored, get to know the campus app seems 936 00:42:19,680 --> 00:42:21,840 like it'd be wildly uncool. 937 00:42:21,840 --> 00:42:23,680 Yeah. 938 00:42:23,680 --> 00:42:24,520 Yeah. 939 00:42:24,520 --> 00:42:28,800 But like spin that in a cool, more helpful crowdsourced way. 940 00:42:28,800 --> 00:42:32,840 So like, it's still fun, but not like totally mean. 941 00:42:32,840 --> 00:42:36,920 And it has like all of the functionality to be helpful. 942 00:42:36,920 --> 00:42:41,280 Like if there's a club, it can be like, Oh yeah, we're in this room. 943 00:42:41,280 --> 00:42:42,400 Click a button. 944 00:42:42,400 --> 00:42:43,880 Here's how to get there. 945 00:42:44,320 --> 00:42:47,760 Because there are always those places that no one has ever heard about. 946 00:42:47,760 --> 00:42:52,720 Once Leo and I, a couple of summers ago and during an installation project 947 00:42:52,720 --> 00:42:55,680 discovered a classroom that we had never heard of. 948 00:42:55,680 --> 00:42:57,200 We didn't know where it was. 949 00:42:57,200 --> 00:42:59,440 We had to ask five people where it was. 950 00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:01,480 So like something like that. 951 00:43:01,480 --> 00:43:03,760 I was a student for four years. 952 00:43:03,760 --> 00:43:04,840 You guys were as well. 953 00:43:04,840 --> 00:43:08,160 And then I worked there for 10 years and I'd never heard of this room in a 954 00:43:08,160 --> 00:43:10,200 building I've been in hundreds of times. 955 00:43:10,200 --> 00:43:10,480 Yeah. 956 00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:14,240 Leo that classroom burned down 40 years ago. 957 00:43:14,240 --> 00:43:19,120 I just keep envisioning if you have an app that tells you how long it gets 958 00:43:19,120 --> 00:43:21,760 from this point to this point or the fastest way to get from this point to 959 00:43:21,760 --> 00:43:25,360 this point, people are going to take that as a challenge and all of a sudden 960 00:43:25,360 --> 00:43:29,760 you're going to have an app of being like, I can get from classroom 313 in 961 00:43:29,760 --> 00:43:34,360 this building to 414 in that building in under five minutes and 42 seconds. 962 00:43:34,360 --> 00:43:37,480 And they are just sprinting, finding the absolute optimal path. 963 00:43:37,480 --> 00:43:39,360 That's how you make it fun. 964 00:43:39,360 --> 00:43:40,920 And then you have a racing app. 965 00:43:40,960 --> 00:43:44,320 It's just like everybody racing each other. 966 00:43:44,320 --> 00:43:48,240 And finding better routes. 967 00:43:48,240 --> 00:43:48,800 Right. 968 00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:49,920 That's the only way to win. 969 00:43:49,920 --> 00:43:53,280 What is the best possible route to go from here to here? 970 00:43:53,280 --> 00:43:54,080 That's a fun idea. 971 00:43:54,080 --> 00:43:56,840 But then you're going to see kids like jumping through windows. 972 00:43:56,840 --> 00:43:58,560 Crazy. 973 00:43:58,560 --> 00:44:00,760 Hey, it is the fastest route. 974 00:44:00,760 --> 00:44:02,760 You know, it's just. 975 00:44:02,760 --> 00:44:09,440 But I still have a leaderboard, but I like this because we, again, it's a very 976 00:44:09,440 --> 00:44:14,160 small campus, but people still complain about how long it takes to get everywhere. 977 00:44:14,160 --> 00:44:18,960 And I think half of it is just people don't realize how they can optimize their 978 00:44:18,960 --> 00:44:24,040 routes because they're always walking down the sidewalks and like around buildings. 979 00:44:24,040 --> 00:44:29,400 And it's like, you can save so much time if you just use the other set of stairs. 980 00:44:29,400 --> 00:44:29,640 Right. 981 00:44:29,640 --> 00:44:31,200 Cut through this building. 982 00:44:31,200 --> 00:44:36,280 And especially that's only multiplied on enormous state school campuses. 983 00:44:36,680 --> 00:44:40,400 And I feel like that just makes the introductory college experience so much 984 00:44:40,400 --> 00:44:43,080 better if you don't always feel lost. 985 00:44:43,080 --> 00:44:46,640 And guided by an upperclassman, it helps build some community to them. 986 00:44:46,640 --> 00:44:47,280 Yeah. 987 00:44:47,280 --> 00:44:47,840 Yeah. 988 00:44:47,840 --> 00:44:50,360 Voiced by Morgan Freeman in your ear. 989 00:44:50,360 --> 00:44:55,600 Google maps has a transit mode that you're describing, but for walking 990 00:44:55,600 --> 00:44:56,760 directions, you hold it up. 991 00:44:56,760 --> 00:44:58,000 It does like augmented reality. 992 00:44:58,000 --> 00:45:01,880 So you see your, your, you know, what your camera is actually seeing, but with 993 00:45:01,880 --> 00:45:04,880 signs overlaid and dotted lines and stuff on the sidewalk. 994 00:45:05,360 --> 00:45:08,720 So building that, but it's not good at indoor stuff yet. 995 00:45:08,720 --> 00:45:09,600 So yeah. 996 00:45:09,600 --> 00:45:10,240 Yeah. 997 00:45:10,240 --> 00:45:14,360 Getting your campus mapped onto the room number and then having that be the actual 998 00:45:14,360 --> 00:45:16,720 thing built with class schedules and stuff sounds awesome. 999 00:45:16,720 --> 00:45:23,880 And also like having it take into account busy times and places, like suggest times 1000 00:45:23,880 --> 00:45:29,320 to go to the dining hall or something just like general, like campus companion. 1001 00:45:29,320 --> 00:45:34,240 That's like helpful, but it's not like too like boring and official. 1002 00:45:34,240 --> 00:45:40,760 Like the college that I attend and work at and Leo works at has a online map, but 1003 00:45:40,760 --> 00:45:44,000 it's not very like useful as an active thing to use. 1004 00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:49,440 It's just a digital version of like a fold out brochure map. 1005 00:45:49,440 --> 00:45:53,960 But like, if that's like a dynamic, it has like Google has now where it's like, 1006 00:45:53,960 --> 00:45:55,520 Oh, this is busy now. 1007 00:45:55,520 --> 00:46:01,640 Like helping building a mapping and communication application specific to the 1008 00:46:01,640 --> 00:46:09,280 needs of a large workplace campus or college, I feel like is a market. 1009 00:46:09,280 --> 00:46:13,760 I think this applies to like so many, it's like the, like Google maps doesn't do well 1010 00:46:13,760 --> 00:46:17,640 on the last, I don't know, you know how they say the last mile, but this is like 1011 00:46:17,640 --> 00:46:19,640 the last hundred, 200 feet. 1012 00:46:19,640 --> 00:46:24,040 Like I work in a coworking space and the hardest part is to where in downtown 1013 00:46:24,040 --> 00:46:28,120 Holland do I go to get to this location? 1014 00:46:28,160 --> 00:46:32,720 It's you have to go to this hallway, go up this elevator and now you're there. 1015 00:46:32,720 --> 00:46:37,600 And it's like, Whoa, but that happens like dentist's office and like even small 1016 00:46:37,600 --> 00:46:39,320 little like strip malls. 1017 00:46:39,320 --> 00:46:42,320 You're like, where the hell is my orthopedic surgeon? 1018 00:46:42,320 --> 00:46:46,880 Like I gotta figure out which, which suite number in this building is where I got to 1019 00:46:46,880 --> 00:46:47,200 go. 1020 00:46:47,200 --> 00:46:52,000 It's just the last 30 seconds that are stressful and turn it into. 1021 00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:53,640 Hospital complexes. 1022 00:46:53,680 --> 00:46:57,880 That's another one where it's just like sort of removes the whole like follow the 1023 00:46:57,880 --> 00:46:59,360 green line, you know? 1024 00:46:59,360 --> 00:47:03,080 Yeah, absolutely. 1025 00:47:03,080 --> 00:47:06,800 And they tried to solve this with Bluetooth beacons a while back, but it didn't really 1026 00:47:06,800 --> 00:47:07,360 catch on. 1027 00:47:07,360 --> 00:47:13,040 Like the dream was you'd go into your Apple store or Abercrombie and you're walking 1028 00:47:13,040 --> 00:47:17,680 around and it's saying like this table is the sale and your phone is alerting you as 1029 00:47:17,680 --> 00:47:22,480 you go around from place to place because it's within X number of feet from the 1030 00:47:22,480 --> 00:47:24,640 beacon that is that grocery store. 1031 00:47:24,640 --> 00:47:25,440 This would be. 1032 00:47:25,440 --> 00:47:26,720 Oh my gosh. 1033 00:47:26,720 --> 00:47:27,440 Yeah, right. 1034 00:47:27,440 --> 00:47:28,720 Oh yes. 1035 00:47:28,720 --> 00:47:34,240 I was just thinking that I pull up cucumbers and it dot lines all the way to 1036 00:47:34,240 --> 00:47:35,440 where those are on the shelf. 1037 00:47:35,440 --> 00:47:41,240 I know people who avoid shopping at large supermarkets, even though they're so much 1038 00:47:41,240 --> 00:47:47,120 cheaper just because target is so much smaller and easier to find stuff and they 1039 00:47:47,120 --> 00:47:51,600 would shop at Meijer or Walmart if they just knew how to get around. 1040 00:47:51,800 --> 00:47:56,040 Like I'm thinking of one friend in particular who shopped at Meijer local 1041 00:47:56,040 --> 00:48:00,640 Midwestern's big supermarket chain once with me and she was like, wow, this is so 1042 00:48:00,640 --> 00:48:05,160 great, but I would never do this on my own because you just know where everything is. 1043 00:48:05,160 --> 00:48:08,280 So like, yeah, solving that problem. 1044 00:48:08,280 --> 00:48:09,000 Shipping. 1045 00:48:09,000 --> 00:48:09,880 True. 1046 00:48:09,880 --> 00:48:15,920 Do those apps where you can order groceries like you're essentially door dashing or 1047 00:48:15,920 --> 00:48:17,520 grubhubbing groceries to your home. 1048 00:48:17,920 --> 00:48:22,200 Do they those apps must have like efficiencies for the yeah, stickers on them, 1049 00:48:22,200 --> 00:48:22,480 right? 1050 00:48:22,480 --> 00:48:23,640 Like they do. 1051 00:48:23,640 --> 00:48:29,120 And the local grocery store app used to tell you exactly where it was on a map. 1052 00:48:29,120 --> 00:48:31,400 But I think once in a while it was inaccurate or something. 1053 00:48:31,400 --> 00:48:35,240 And now it only tells you the aisle, which I don't know is a major step back. 1054 00:48:35,240 --> 00:48:36,440 And like, oh, here we go. 1055 00:48:36,440 --> 00:48:38,720 Routing efficiency. 1056 00:48:38,720 --> 00:48:44,320 So like going back to my geocaching thing, there is a geocaching application that you 1057 00:48:44,320 --> 00:48:48,200 can like plug in all the different caches you want to get in a like optimize it for 1058 00:48:48,200 --> 00:48:49,400 driving or biking or walking. 1059 00:48:49,400 --> 00:48:50,680 Do that with groceries. 1060 00:48:50,680 --> 00:48:52,400 Put in your shopping list. 1061 00:48:52,400 --> 00:48:55,000 Yes, it draws out the route. 1062 00:48:55,000 --> 00:49:00,080 Guys, I this would be the most satisfying experience ever. 1063 00:49:00,080 --> 00:49:03,600 Like I hate doubling back all the way across the store. 1064 00:49:03,600 --> 00:49:07,880 Could put your phone holder on your cart just like it tells you where to stop. 1065 00:49:07,880 --> 00:49:10,320 And it's like you don't even have to stop moving. 1066 00:49:10,320 --> 00:49:16,320 Just like yes, and your wheels that you're pushing are generating phone charge. 1067 00:49:16,320 --> 00:49:23,760 I literally rewrite my wife's shopping list sometimes to like organize it by section 1068 00:49:23,760 --> 00:49:27,920 and order because you're just I'm like, sure, is your old dairy. 1069 00:49:27,920 --> 00:49:31,800 Yeah, there's no it's like I can't even fathom why she would write it this way. 1070 00:49:31,800 --> 00:49:33,760 It's like so frustrating to me. 1071 00:49:33,760 --> 00:49:35,600 Like, why would you put butter last? 1072 00:49:35,600 --> 00:49:39,960 Like I get your thought process, but like you put butter and then milk on the complete 1073 00:49:39,960 --> 00:49:41,160 other side of this list. 1074 00:49:41,160 --> 00:49:44,400 You're like, are you trying to kill me? 1075 00:49:44,400 --> 00:49:46,360 Like, just kill me now. 1076 00:49:46,360 --> 00:49:49,880 Just trying to get you to take extra steps, man. 1077 00:49:49,880 --> 00:49:51,560 That's right. 1078 00:49:51,560 --> 00:49:54,640 OK, another here's I will never. 1079 00:49:54,640 --> 00:50:00,680 I stopped like grocery stores killed me by finding ice cream cones. 1080 00:50:00,680 --> 00:50:03,640 OK, what aisle do you go to find ice cream cones? 1081 00:50:03,640 --> 00:50:05,360 Not the freezer section. 1082 00:50:05,360 --> 00:50:08,040 Right. Where is the ice cream cones? 1083 00:50:08,040 --> 00:50:09,400 Not the bread. 1084 00:50:09,400 --> 00:50:13,240 Right. Baking bread, baking. 1085 00:50:13,240 --> 00:50:17,840 There's only so many freezers in a grocery store in a freezer. 1086 00:50:17,840 --> 00:50:19,600 Right. The ice cream cones. 1087 00:50:19,600 --> 00:50:21,280 Where do you go? Just a cone with no ice. 1088 00:50:21,280 --> 00:50:23,200 Oh, I see. 1089 00:50:23,200 --> 00:50:26,400 I mean, every and every grocery store has a different aisle. 1090 00:50:26,400 --> 00:50:30,520 And it's just like, do I just go in the ice cream aisle and hope to God there's ice 1091 00:50:30,520 --> 00:50:31,400 cream cones there? 1092 00:50:31,400 --> 00:50:34,480 No, it's just good luck. 1093 00:50:34,480 --> 00:50:38,880 Like there are just some things that don't they just don't have a place in the store. 1094 00:50:39,080 --> 00:50:40,520 And you just throw them on the ground. 1095 00:50:40,520 --> 00:50:45,680 Yes. I had a similar experience finding finding Q-tips in a Walgreens once. 1096 00:50:45,680 --> 00:50:48,080 I spent like 20 minutes in a Walgreens looking. 1097 00:50:48,080 --> 00:50:49,160 I was Googling. 1098 00:50:49,160 --> 00:50:51,400 I was on like our slash Walgreens. 1099 00:50:51,400 --> 00:50:52,720 Where do people? 1100 00:50:52,720 --> 00:50:59,560 Just because there's sometimes these things that defy categorization. 1101 00:50:59,560 --> 00:51:02,040 So it's just like, yeah, you do it in a walk. 1102 00:51:02,040 --> 00:51:08,560 Yeah, I was just like, is it a man named like like what is this associated with? 1103 00:51:08,560 --> 00:51:11,800 Am I associating this with ears, face, skin? 1104 00:51:11,800 --> 00:51:14,080 Like, yeah, cleaning products. 1105 00:51:14,080 --> 00:51:15,200 It's next to the Windex. 1106 00:51:15,200 --> 00:51:16,520 Turns out it's in makeup. 1107 00:51:16,520 --> 00:51:17,440 It's just in makeup. 1108 00:51:17,440 --> 00:51:18,840 It's just that's where it belongs now. 1109 00:51:18,840 --> 00:51:22,480 Yeah. And it's like on a weird end cap or something. 1110 00:51:22,480 --> 00:51:24,880 So I feel like that's great. 1111 00:51:24,880 --> 00:51:31,600 This just solves all sorts of problems for like looking for things inside where it's 1112 00:51:31,600 --> 00:51:36,280 like it's too small scale for mapping applications generally to care about. 1113 00:51:36,720 --> 00:51:40,760 Or it's like it does that thing when you type in the name of a store or a place and 1114 00:51:40,760 --> 00:51:44,600 Google Maps just decides that the best place for that is the middle of the building it's 1115 00:51:44,600 --> 00:51:48,440 in.

Here's another I'm going to flip this idea a little bit, because I think, say, 1146 00:53:21,560 --> 00:53:27,520 like what if you were running a meeting and you could like let everybody know how far 1147 00:53:27,520 --> 00:53:31,520 away you were and you can like, oh, right. 1148 00:53:31,520 --> 00:53:35,920 Like in corporate environments like, oh, this guy's going to be late on your Google 1149 00:53:35,920 --> 00:53:40,680 calendar invite, like estimate of how far away I am. 1150 00:53:40,680 --> 00:53:43,080 Like it'll be like automatic message. 1151 00:53:43,080 --> 00:53:44,280 I'm running late. 1152 00:53:44,280 --> 00:53:49,360 I am at and because it's like local, it's like I'm in this building like. 1153 00:53:49,360 --> 00:53:52,440 Or you just look at the Google calendar event attendees. 1154 00:53:52,440 --> 00:53:53,560 There's three people here. 1155 00:53:53,560 --> 00:53:54,680 They've got little checks. 1156 00:53:54,680 --> 00:53:58,840 One of them says hasn't left last meeting seven minutes away in that building. 1157 00:53:58,840 --> 00:54:02,400 And one of them says, you know, walking now two minutes out. 1158 00:54:02,400 --> 00:54:04,360 Yeah, I'd be sweet. 1159 00:54:04,360 --> 00:54:05,400 Optimize your meetings. 1160 00:54:05,400 --> 00:54:07,920 Those extra minutes are like that one extra email. 1161 00:54:07,920 --> 00:54:12,960 Like there's no way in hell anyone over 30 is going to turn that on with Big Brother 1162 00:54:12,960 --> 00:54:15,960 scaries. But that's an awesome idea. 1163 00:54:15,960 --> 00:54:20,840 It's a corporate it's you know, you put it on your RFID tags and you turn it into 1164 00:54:20,840 --> 00:54:23,840 something like that. And now you have it being not so. 1165 00:54:23,840 --> 00:54:25,840 Yeah. It would know when you get into buildings. 1166 00:54:25,840 --> 00:54:27,400 Picks meeting locations. 1167 00:54:27,400 --> 00:54:30,720 Sure. Automatically based on where everyone is before. 1168 00:54:30,720 --> 00:54:33,440 It's like here's which building you should meet in. 1169 00:54:33,440 --> 00:54:34,880 If you're in four different buildings. 1170 00:54:34,880 --> 00:54:40,120 Google Workspace does that for just like locations of where you've assigned where you 1171 00:54:40,120 --> 00:54:43,560 work. So if you try to meet with someone else, it'll say, oh, here's a space. 1172 00:54:43,560 --> 00:54:46,920 If you've uploaded all your spaces in the Google Workspace, here's one that's halfway 1173 00:54:46,920 --> 00:54:50,080 between you two. But it doesn't take into account other meetings and stuff. 1174 00:54:50,080 --> 00:54:51,080 That's a great idea. 1175 00:54:51,080 --> 00:54:55,680 Like here's the optimal place in the optimal like time of day. 1176 00:54:55,680 --> 00:55:00,960 Yeah, that's actually incredible because like it's really hard to find a right the 1177 00:55:00,960 --> 00:55:02,040 right conference room. 1178 00:55:02,040 --> 00:55:04,600 Right.
