Speaker 1: You're listening to Comedy Central. Bill Gates, he's rich, he's brilliant,
Speaker 1: and apparently he's out of his mind. This is a
Speaker 1: container of human feces. Why is one of the richest
Speaker 1: men in the world carrying a jaw of his own ship?
Speaker 1: I went to Seattle to find out what's wrong with
Speaker 1: Bill Gates? Mr Gates, It's a huge honor to meet you.
Speaker 1: It's just a quick question, what the fund is wrong
Speaker 1: with you? I mean, are you okay? Yeah, I'm great.
Speaker 1: I love what I'm doing. Okay, So why are you
Speaker 1: carrying around your own poop in a jaw? Well? I
Speaker 1: did uh have a beaker of human feces when I
Speaker 1: was explaining why we need a reinvented toilet. You don't
Speaker 1: need to reinvented toilet. We ship in it and then
Speaker 1: we push a button, then the ship disappears. It's perfect. Well.
Speaker 1: Toilets are something we take for granted, but billions of
Speaker 1: people don't have them, even in these growing cities in
Speaker 1: poor countries. They can't afford to build sewers, and that
Speaker 1: causes diseases, and so we have to come up with
Speaker 1: a very different way of taking care of that waste.
Speaker 1: And because so much of the world lacks a sanitary
Speaker 1: place to poop, Bill launched the Reinvented Toilet Challenge. It
Speaker 1: fun scientists to redesign toilets that don't need a sewer system.
Speaker 1: We put seven hundred million into this to show that
Speaker 1: it can be done with Sorry, hang on, you put
Speaker 1: several hundred million dollars into toilets giving it away? You bet?
Speaker 1: Oh my god, is Bill Gates literally flushing his fortune
Speaker 1: down the toilet? To find out? I flew all the
Speaker 1: way to University of South Florida, where Professor L. Daniel
Speaker 1: Yea and his team are using Gates funding to make
Speaker 1: some sort of magic poop box. So what we have
Speaker 1: here essentially is a miniature version of the wastewater treatment plant,
Speaker 1: and we can put this anywhere in the world. In
Speaker 1: the botto reactor, we have microorganisms stay eat the poop
Speaker 1: and turn into clean water. Okay, why do the microbes
Speaker 1: eat the wop? The microbes eat to poop because that's
Speaker 1: what they do. You ask them if they want to
Speaker 1: do that, well, yeah, why don't you give him a
Speaker 1: mufflin or something? Maybe they're like a muffin. Okay, I'll
Speaker 1: make a note of that, but when you show them
Speaker 1: the poop, they love it. Despite his crazy talk. There's
Speaker 1: just something about this guy. I don't know what it is,
Speaker 1: but I trust him, so I decided to give his
Speaker 1: machine a try. So normally we will have a block
Speaker 1: of toilets, all right, and then the waste. When the
Speaker 1: toilets will come here, they'll go into the machine. And
Speaker 1: then using solar power, we can turn the poppy water
Speaker 1: into clean water. So you stand by this, or I'll
Speaker 1: prove it. Okay, they work? Yeah, well, how many times
Speaker 1: did not work and you end up drinking on ship. Well,
Speaker 1: it's worked so well that we're actually worked with NANSA.
Speaker 1: Astronauts have to poop, and we can turn that poop
Speaker 1: into clean water and nutrients and even energy. Wait do
Speaker 1: you say energy? The microbes and the bottle reactor make nothing.
Speaker 1: That's the same stuff. That's a natural gas and you
Speaker 1: can burn it. Bill Gates, you sneaky bastard. You just
Speaker 1: found a filthy little back door into the most profitable
Speaker 1: industry in the world. Energy. You didn't say anything about energy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's one way to make it cheap to process the
Speaker 1: sewage is to sell these outputs. You should open with that.
Speaker 1: Next time to open with the saving the world kids
Speaker 1: and disease, they open with, Yo, what making toilets that
Speaker 1: can convert ship into energy? We need to make these
Speaker 1: toilets as expensive as possible because, based on my research,
Speaker 1: everyone poops, I mean everybody. Well, unless we make them
Speaker 1: super cheap, they're not going to get out to the
Speaker 1: poorest who need them the most. Look, I know you've
Speaker 1: made your money. Some of us he are still trying
Speaker 1: to in this game. Well, if you have an idea,
Speaker 1: let us know. I've got nothing but ideas for this.
Speaker 1: So this is an iPad, great device. I love using it.
Speaker 1: So what's the worst seat on the plane next to
Speaker 1: the toilet? But what if every seat was a toilet?
Speaker 1: Poop power planes? To keep the plane in motion. We
Speaker 1: have to keep shipping high pressure. I know, but it
Speaker 1: gives the airlines incentive to feel this. I'm not sure
Speaker 1: the numbers work. How about this, It's a toilet that
Speaker 1: you shipped in and it powers a cannon that shoots
Speaker 1: the ship out through my neighbor's house. While you laughing,
Speaker 1: that's not legal. Listen, man, I'm up here just trying
Speaker 1: to come up with ideas. Here to save the world. Okay,
Speaker 1: what are you doing? Um, that's what I'm doing. No,
Speaker 1: that's what I'm doing. I'm here giving you ideas. Are
Speaker 1: you doing shing on that? Well, I don't those ideas
Speaker 1: are already yet, but we do have a lot of
Speaker 1: ideas that are in the field being tested in Durban.
Speaker 1: Let's try to cover of their residents that don't have
Speaker 1: a great sewage processing. We are going to completely change
Speaker 1: the future. Everybody's going to have a great toilet. Well,
Speaker 1: here's to everyone having a great toilet. Jeers not bad. Now,
Speaker 1: guess where that came from. And you just drink my ship.
Speaker 1: How does it taste. That's a very successful process. There.
Speaker 1: It tasted like normal water. Good job, thank you, Bill.
