So they have a smart vibrator with sensors 185 00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:42,720 Speaker 1: in it, right, and it would like tell you when 186 00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:45,440 Speaker 1: you've had an orgasm based on the vibrations. 187 00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:47,640 Speaker 2: That actually feels like that might be very use It is. 188 00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:51,120 Speaker 1: Actually useful because the pitch back then and you know, men, 189 00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:54,160 Speaker 1: when you have erectile dysfunction, for example, it could be 190 00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:56,240 Speaker 1: an indicator that something's wrong with your heart health. It 191 00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:58,360 Speaker 1: could be something that's wrong somewhere else in your body. 192 00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:01,320 Speaker 1: It's like a check engine light for women. It could 193 00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:03,480 Speaker 1: be similar. Like, we don't have enough data, and that 194 00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:06,600 Speaker 1: was step one on collecting the data. So the Lioness 195 00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:08,800 Speaker 1: Smart vibrator was very impressive to the point where like 196 00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:11,480 Speaker 1: on the Engadget team, like we we gave it like 197 00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:14,200 Speaker 1: one of the it was a nominee for an award 198 00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:16,360 Speaker 1: in the health category that year that we were awarding 199 00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:19,560 Speaker 1: the CTAs Best of cs Awards, and it is it 200 00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:21,360 Speaker 1: does like you to your point ed, we were just 201 00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:23,840 Speaker 1: talking before the podcast starter that we need people in 202 00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:26,200 Speaker 1: the space where like away I'm familiar and the CTA 203 00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:28,440 Speaker 1: was gatekeeping some of this or it was like not 204 00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:30,880 Speaker 1: open to because it was squamish. I get it makes 205 00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:32,800 Speaker 1: people screamish to be like you put this inside you. 206 00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:36,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, but I think that you raised something with David. 207 00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:39,520 Speaker 2: Men in general do not discuss sex, thank you, and 208 00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:42,840 Speaker 2: men have a very hard time talking about like arouse, 209 00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:46,800 Speaker 2: they talk about lust. They're very good at discussing the 210 00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:50,160 Speaker 2: journey and all that. Like it's almost like, oh, sex 211 00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:51,800 Speaker 2: is something we do in a dark crew and we 212 00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:54,280 Speaker 2: hide from it despite men also craving it. 213 00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:57,560 Speaker 4: So the discussion with men about sex is actually quite rare. 214 00:09:57,600 --> 00:09:59,680 Speaker 2: I only have to I never talked about having sex 215 00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:02,559 Speaker 2: with you guys, not literally doing it, but it also 216 00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:05,280 Speaker 2: having had sex in general, which is the one rule 217 00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:08,320 Speaker 2: we have here, does not happen at ces. That's that's 218 00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:11,280 Speaker 2: a choice. But nevertheless, it's like men don't have these 219 00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:13,800 Speaker 2: discussions about sex in general. So the idea of a 220 00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:15,920 Speaker 2: man being able to go up to and it's a challenge, 221 00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:18,120 Speaker 2: especially if it outside of your coverage, to go up 222 00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:19,840 Speaker 2: and be like, hey, so how do you use this 223 00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:23,040 Speaker 2: that hoo hoo, but also not feeling a little vulnerable 224 00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:25,760 Speaker 2: because with men, especially with sex toys, at least in 225 00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:28,240 Speaker 2: my experience of discussing with them, they're scared of the 226 00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:31,199 Speaker 2: idea of using it with a partner like male or female. 227 00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:33,360 Speaker 2: That the idea is it's like giving up, even though 228 00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:36,800 Speaker 2: from my experience, whatever gets the job done. A woman 229 00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:38,960 Speaker 2: tend to be pretty happy, but even then even saying 230 00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:41,640 Speaker 2: this out loud, I'm like, Yeah, this is the conversation 231 00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:43,240 Speaker 2: I wouldn't have with guys in general. 232 00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:45,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I think we should be talking more and 233 00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:49,440 Speaker 1: more about it. Like I just from you bringing that up, Ed, 234 00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:52,199 Speaker 1: I was like said, I was like, oh, yeah, men 235 00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:54,400 Speaker 1: probably don't even talk about because I have for a 236 00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:56,240 Speaker 1: large chunk of my life been like we need to 237 00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:58,400 Speaker 1: talk more about sex just a monstreament. I think we 238 00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:00,840 Speaker 1: need to talk about what gets you, what an orgasm 239 00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:02,760 Speaker 1: feels like? Like what is all this stuff? Because there's 240 00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:05,199 Speaker 1: people that are not having it and that's just depressing. 241 00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:06,960 Speaker 1: It's like they're like, I don't know what does get 242 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:08,520 Speaker 1: me off or not? But have I had to know 243 00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:09,640 Speaker 1: or not? Like it's I'm just. 244 00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:11,800 Speaker 2: Joy in it. There is so much that and like 245 00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:14,600 Speaker 2: the intimacy you can have with someone with having a detailed, 246 00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:17,280 Speaker 2: meaningful conversation about what gets you both off. It's something 247 00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:18,200 Speaker 2: you can walk and you need to. 248 00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:19,800 Speaker 1: Talk to your partner about it. What are you going 249 00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:22,000 Speaker 1: to do or talk to yourself about it? Figure yourself 250 00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:23,920 Speaker 1: out and then talk to your partner or partners or 251 00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:26,000 Speaker 1: whatever you want to do with people about it.

I because I because I 263 00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:57,200 Speaker 3: didn't realize that they have given an innovation award and 264 00:11:57,240 --> 00:12:01,160 Speaker 3: removed it. They had an innovation award to a vibrator 265 00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:05,160 Speaker 3: to a smart I think dolphin or vibrator toy in general, 266 00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:09,319 Speaker 3: but that was the only one that I saw and 267 00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:13,920 Speaker 3: most of it.

I saw so many 338 00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:14,560 Speaker 1: you know, it's the one year there was massage chairs everywhere, 339 00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:17,840 Speaker 1: and now it's like their transformer massage chairs everywhere. It's 340 00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:20,160 Speaker 1: it is, to an extent always that kind of show. 341 00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:24,880 Speaker 2: Somewhat pivot here, but one of pieces of gadget's coverage 342 00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:25,960 Speaker 2: was about these new. 343 00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:29,120 Speaker 4: Like vacuums they with the arms. 344 00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:30,960 Speaker 2: Can you hold me through what the hell that is? 345 00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:31,360 Speaker 6: Yeah? 346 00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:33,360 Speaker 1: I mean you had Charissan on your show recently. 347 00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:38,280 Speaker 4: She's coining you covered its good. Yeah, very unfomous bell 348 00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:40,080 Speaker 4: but yeah, no, she tell. 349 00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:40,440 Speaker 2: Me about this. 350 00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:44,240 Speaker 1: So so it started with robo Rock. I'm gonna paint 351 00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:46,760 Speaker 1: a tail for you here. Robo Rock is one of 352 00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:50,200 Speaker 1: the most well known names in the roboback space. And 353 00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:53,280 Speaker 1: you know those spinning robot vacuums and go and clean 354 00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:56,840 Speaker 1: your floors for you. The innovation in them has in 355 00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:59,160 Speaker 1: the past or in recent years been like combining the 356 00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:01,600 Speaker 1: vacuum and mopping features. Now they're like, how else do 357 00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:06,360 Speaker 1: we innovate? Well, roboock builds a robotic arm into its 358 00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:09,960 Speaker 1: disk of robo vac and the arm can come up 359 00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:12,400 Speaker 1: and it has obviously sensors and stuff like that can 360 00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:14,440 Speaker 1: detect obstacles in front of it and be like, oh, 361 00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:17,440 Speaker 1: this is sock I need. Like in the past, the 362 00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:20,560 Speaker 1: robot vacuum would get tripped up and maybe not you know, 363 00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:24,000 Speaker 1: continue to vacuum right or go somewhere else. And now 364 00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:26,200 Speaker 1: if it can pick up the sock, that's in its way, 365 00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:28,800 Speaker 1: or toothbrush or hairbrush or whatever is in this way. 366 00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:32,160 Speaker 1: It can put it away and then continue to clean 367 00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:34,480 Speaker 1: the path that it was on, or you know, put 368 00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:38,360 Speaker 1: it somewhere else. So somehow everyone was like, hell, yes, 369 00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:40,480 Speaker 1: this is the thing that I wanted out my life, 370 00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:43,640 Speaker 1: which makes sense. This is a real world application of 371 00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:47,920 Speaker 1: something that well in the limited demo, yes, right, like 372 00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:50,200 Speaker 1: it did work. It did seem to go up to 373 00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:51,800 Speaker 1: a sock, pick it up and put it in the 374 00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:52,840 Speaker 1: laundry basket that was. 375 00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:55,040 Speaker 4: Jecks up to three hundred a little more than half 376 00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:55,400 Speaker 4: a pound. 377 00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:59,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, so roboocks vacuum only has that weight limit. And 378 00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:01,640 Speaker 1: then and the funny thing is with ce as we 379 00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:05,639 Speaker 1: were just talking about this, every other Robovat company was like, 380 00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:09,320 Speaker 1: we also have arms. Here we go. Dreamy, for example, 381 00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:12,320 Speaker 1: was supposed to only debut it's like stair climbing robot, 382 00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:16,080 Speaker 1: which also is another obstacle in these homes, decided to 383 00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:18,840 Speaker 1: show off its arm. But it's a more solid looking 384 00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:22,679 Speaker 1: clamp situation that seems to be able to handle like 385 00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:27,399 Speaker 1: way more weight. So yeah, exactly, I'm like, I good 386 00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:29,040 Speaker 1: for you. You go to the gym, but you know, 387 00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:34,760 Speaker 1: out vacuum that I don't know what you would call that, 388 00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:39,440 Speaker 1: the transformer of vacuums, the optimus prime of vacuums maybe, Yeah, 389 00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:41,680 Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean, look, it's nice to see these 390 00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:45,760 Speaker 1: companies innovate and then copy the heck out of each other. Yeah, but. 391 00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:54,160 Speaker 4: Has like a you know, it's sort of reassuringly concrete 392 00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:56,879 Speaker 4: relative to some of the area or stuff. Not only 393 00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:59,480 Speaker 4: can you see what problem they're aiming to solve, but 394 00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:02,680 Speaker 4: you can like sort of watch the process of competition 395 00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:03,200 Speaker 4: playing out. 396 00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:03,440 Speaker 1: Yeah. 397 00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:05,639 Speaker 4: In terms of that, whereas and the thing that I 398 00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:09,000 Speaker 4: felt and you were you saw like actual crypto guys 399 00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:13,560 Speaker 4: talking today, like the maximum amount of abstraction, the language 400 00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:15,240 Speaker 4: where you're just kind of like we I don't even 401 00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:18,280 Speaker 4: understand what you're what you're fixing for me here?

The rope 423 00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:19,359 Speaker 1: pet does generate warmth, and so it sort of feels 424 00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:21,320 Speaker 1: comforting right when you have it on you. The other 425 00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:24,000 Speaker 1: one that we saw is the Yukai engineering is mirum. 426 00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:26,760 Speaker 1: It's something that stares at you.

Now that I 498 00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:40,720 Speaker 1: finally had some time to get back on my social 499 00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:44,000 Speaker 1: media like binging habits and on Reddit and on a 500 00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:46,520 Speaker 1: lot of social media platforms, this video of this AI 501 00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:48,000 Speaker 1: sex robot. 502 00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:50,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, the one hundred and seventy thousand. 503 00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:52,119 Speaker 1: Yeah, the one with the dark haired, dark long hair, 504 00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:53,640 Speaker 1: looking like they're falling off a chair. 505 00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:58,159 Speaker 2: Basically, yeah, when we will hit the brake in like 506 00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:00,200 Speaker 2: eight minutes, let'll show you a picture. But it is 507 00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:04,199 Speaker 2: really funny because I love that there's always one company 508 00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:07,399 Speaker 2: that does something like this where they just everyone experiences 509 00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:09,399 Speaker 2: the Uncanny Valley at once. Yeah, and they're like, but 510 00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:11,800 Speaker 2: we got a ton of press out of it. Every 511 00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:15,520 Speaker 2: article is just like this horrifying thing. A company is made, 512 00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:19,600 Speaker 2: these these evil people. They talk about them like one 513 00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:22,520 Speaker 2: of the bad guys from Full Metal Alchemists.

I stood there 521 00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:47,520 Speaker 3: for about ten minutes. That only comes up like once 522 00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:51,480 Speaker 3: every seven minutes for a while the rest of the time, 523 00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:53,480 Speaker 3: you can do the little gimmick where you're talking to 524 00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:55,240 Speaker 3: it and it's speaking and you just don't hear that. 525 00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:58,440 Speaker 3: It's like probably just literally a chatbot speaking out of 526 00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:01,800 Speaker 3: the speakers, but you find tuned it it looks human, right, 527 00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:05,000 Speaker 3: and you got a chance to advertise whatever AI platform 528 00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:07,560 Speaker 3: platform that it is that the company was connected to, 529 00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:10,240 Speaker 3: which is ways way. 530 00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:13,360 Speaker 4: It's like, w it's a waste.

I know 538 00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:34,000 Speaker 2: when someone's just Donald. 539 00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:37,240 Speaker 4: In sense that was the case with the sex spot 540 00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:39,879 Speaker 4: that they were just basically like, I mean this we 541 00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:41,560 Speaker 4: got mentioned in the Wall Street Journal. They called this 542 00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:44,600 Speaker 4: the embodiment of everything that's wrong with temporary culture. 543 00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:47,800 Speaker 1: You know, like, yeah, no, I think to your point, 544 00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:50,560 Speaker 1: the it's refreshing for me to see the pr angle 545 00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:52,080 Speaker 1: of this that you're thinking of. I know, I'm just 546 00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:54,800 Speaker 1: there like, oh right, yeah, this is a cheap method 547 00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:58,399 Speaker 1: to employ I I didn't get that vibe. We didn't 548 00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:00,080 Speaker 1: even cover it. None of it was not even on 549 00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:02,120 Speaker 1: our radars, Like yeah. 550 00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:05,320 Speaker 2: Because don't encourage them. But also back to the earlier theme, 551 00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:08,879 Speaker 2: it's like a thing, a thing made by someone who 552 00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:11,600 Speaker 2: is not actually interested in people having sex or meaning 553 00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:15,600 Speaker 2: exactly direct SEXU relationships. It's like, what are these ugly 554 00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:19,119 Speaker 2: pigs that never have sex? One a horrible robot that 555 00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:21,040 Speaker 2: looks like kind of like a woman, so they can 556 00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:24,240 Speaker 2: have their horrible sex in a locked room, criminalizing sex, 557 00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:26,880 Speaker 2: treating it like this ugly thing that we should hide 558 00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:29,040 Speaker 2: from the world. Were also kind of making fun of 559 00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:29,720 Speaker 2: people who. 560 00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:32,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, making fun of their target audience, which is the 561 00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:34,479 Speaker 1: irony of that is so strange. 562 00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:36,840 Speaker 2: This is empathy and joy and honesty about sex, which 563 00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:38,879 Speaker 2: is like a meaningful thing that people should explore. 564 00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:42,320 Speaker 1: It's part of life. Yeah, I disagree. Is how we 565 00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:42,920 Speaker 1: got here. 566 00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:45,000 Speaker 3: Listen to Protestants were onto. 567 00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:48,480 Speaker 1: Something I love. It seemed to be fifty to fifty 568 00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:50,159 Speaker 1: split on this. It's pretty normal about it. 569 00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:51,960 Speaker 4: Before I came to Las Vegas. Now I'm taking a 570 00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:54,040 Speaker 4: hard stance to get this ship out. 571 00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:57,440 Speaker 3: Sex is out in twenty twenty five, before I came 572 00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:00,680 Speaker 3: here as a freak and I'm leaving with some some change. 573 00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:06,399 Speaker 1: I hear about crypto apparently what you're a convert now? 574 00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:08,680 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I you know, I think I should be 575 00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:09,400 Speaker 3: on the blockchain. 576 00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:13,960 Speaker 2: I think, oh gosh, oh god, you know someone's done yeah, 577 00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:18,800 Speaker 2: like with unutterable horrors that has now that it's been uttered. 578 00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:19,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, who knows what's going. 579 00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:22,879 Speaker 2: On in Thistle Street general cs, abomination. 580 00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:25,240 Speaker 3: Of the Yeah, yeah, I bet money is someone I 581 00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:27,679 Speaker 3: know like them or a friend is making it right now. 582 00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:33,000 Speaker 2: They should be making something else.

When I find not, that's it. 584 00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:40,440 Speaker 2: So as we as we approached the break, here, is 585 00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:41,880 Speaker 2: there anything else you're going to see on the show? 586 00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:42,640 Speaker 2: Are you've just done? 587 00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:44,760 Speaker 1: Okay? So I'm here for personal interest. 588 00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:45,040 Speaker 3: Now. 589 00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:48,760 Speaker 1: Last night I was supposed to already be done working, 590 00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:50,720 Speaker 1: but I went to the Venetian Expo and I saw 591 00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:53,520 Speaker 1: some like last minute accessibility related products that's always been 592 00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:56,879 Speaker 1: like a topic I pay attention to myself. We actually, 593 00:26:56,920 --> 00:26:59,280 Speaker 1: I'm very proud to say this, and Gadget's like best 594 00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:01,960 Speaker 1: of Sea as winner, like the best in show. Best 595 00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:04,359 Speaker 1: of all the things we saw was a smart cane 596 00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:04,960 Speaker 1: for the blind. 597 00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:07,560 Speaker 2: So we talked about this and it's good, like because 598 00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:09,680 Speaker 2: my worry with it was a it needs an Internet 599 00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:12,440 Speaker 2: connection if it's going GPT thing. But it works. 600 00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:15,560 Speaker 1: It worked, Yeah, and in the busy wife like convention 601 00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:18,800 Speaker 1: floor where like you assume the Wi Fi is like 602 00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:22,480 Speaker 1: clogged as as shit, right, and I did not clarify 603 00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:25,000 Speaker 1: or verify what type of Internet connection was using. Was 604 00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:26,960 Speaker 1: it on device? I bet it's not because there's a 605 00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:29,680 Speaker 1: very thin, like well made device, like they folded it 606 00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:31,800 Speaker 1: up unfolded it showed me. I held it in my 607 00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:33,840 Speaker 1: hand and used it a bit. It seems to work 608 00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:34,240 Speaker 1: really well. 609 00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:35,119 Speaker 2: It's the white like on it. 610 00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:38,119 Speaker 1: It is slightly heavier than I think you're conventional like 611 00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:41,920 Speaker 1: folding cane for people who are visually impaired, but not 612 00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:43,800 Speaker 1: too much heavier. Not to be clear, this is like 613 00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:46,600 Speaker 1: a second generation of an existing product. The first one 614 00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:48,680 Speaker 1: was a bit heavier, so they've refined it. They've made 615 00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:51,040 Speaker 1: the handle a little easier to hold. They've replaced like 616 00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:54,040 Speaker 1: a touchscreen sort of button situation with tactile buttons, which 617 00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:56,119 Speaker 1: should have been in the first one, right, like why 618 00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:59,760 Speaker 1: didn't you think of this? So they they have made improvements. 619 00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:02,760 Speaker 1: Can you to and he have a pretty legitimate partner 620 00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:05,800 Speaker 1: in TDK who's like a big or more established company 621 00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:10,480 Speaker 1: to see this through. Look to your point, ed, z ed, 622 00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:18,680 Speaker 1: to your point. This thing at least if it dies, 623 00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:20,920 Speaker 1: if it runs out of battery, it's still just a can. 624 00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:23,160 Speaker 2: This is what Crisaer I believe said about it. It's 625 00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:25,720 Speaker 2: like it still functions as a device. It's just the 626 00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:28,199 Speaker 2: Wi Fi thing, is what it's because if it's if 627 00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:30,040 Speaker 2: the whole thing is a model. 628 00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:32,880 Speaker 1: Well, but it's not entirely like a chat GBT only. 629 00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:35,399 Speaker 1: I mean the term by turn navigations is something that 630 00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:38,360 Speaker 1: is quite important to the concept here, and the fact 631 00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:41,040 Speaker 1: that it will like that has a speaker on board 632 00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:43,479 Speaker 1: to like answer questions and stuff like that. So those 633 00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:45,600 Speaker 1: are important things. But it's also got like a flashlight 634 00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:48,360 Speaker 1: on board those sorts of things that don't require Internet 635 00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:52,120 Speaker 1: right for example. So that's something we you know, should 636 00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:54,800 Speaker 1: definitely clarify. We have the contact information about people we 637 00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:55,960 Speaker 1: can get in touch and find out. 638 00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:56,560 Speaker 2: I would love to know. 639 00:28:56,920 --> 00:28:58,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll find out. 640 00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:01,440 Speaker 2: So as we come towards the right Edward Guise journey, 641 00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:02,440 Speaker 2: Weacking People find. 642 00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:06,040 Speaker 3: You newsletter The Tuckbubble dot Substock dot Com podcast.

What was this and why does 664 00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:21,120 Speaker 2: what does the infrared mask thing? 665 00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:21,280 Speaker 3: Do. 666 00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:25,680 Speaker 1: Okay, so it's not just infrared. This is Shark's Cryoglow 667 00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:29,120 Speaker 1: and it debuted at CEUs twenty twenty five. It is 668 00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:32,200 Speaker 1: the latest in a string of like full face like 669 00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:36,520 Speaker 1: light based mask devices. You've probably maybe you've heard of 670 00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:37,920 Speaker 1: their faces. 671 00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:39,800 Speaker 2: Oh no, I'm going to be completely honest. I've been 672 00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:42,200 Speaker 2: targeted with these things. Yes, masks you put on the 673 00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:44,840 Speaker 2: kind of lose something to you and just being so 674 00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:47,360 Speaker 2: because I have like gaunt eyes, I look like I'm 675 00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:48,200 Speaker 2: Polish British. 676 00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:50,640 Speaker 1: It's not you're too mean to yourself, but god I am. 677 00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:53,280 Speaker 2: But that's part of the show. But for real, though, 678 00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:55,440 Speaker 2: what do these things actually why do you use them 679 00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:56,360 Speaker 2: as a person? 680 00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:59,520 Speaker 1: Okay, So, red light therapy, when used with effective components, 681 00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:03,520 Speaker 1: it is suppose to help like anti aging, help reduce 682 00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:06,640 Speaker 1: fine lines or signs of signs of aging, finance, wrinkles. 683 00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:09,240 Speaker 1: The blue light is supposed to help with antibacterial so 684 00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:13,240 Speaker 1: it's good for acne. Purportedly, infrared is helping with some 685 00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:16,200 Speaker 1: level of rejuvenation under the skin as well as penetrating 686 00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:18,440 Speaker 1: the layers of the skin. I know this is because 687 00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:21,080 Speaker 1: of the facials that I take, and I include the 688 00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:24,400 Speaker 1: light therapy in the salon. I feel like they work, 689 00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:26,920 Speaker 1: but I go for the like Salon grade ones, so 690 00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:29,960 Speaker 1: that's like probably going to work better and than any 691 00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:33,320 Speaker 1: of these home treatments. I've been very skeptical, skeptical of 692 00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:36,240 Speaker 1: devices like the Solo Wave, which is a smaller wand 693 00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:41,760 Speaker 1: with smaller COMPONENTSLD bulbs don't seem as as a fillender. 694 00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:44,680 Speaker 2: There is a laser safety specialist.

I mean 700 00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:06,160 Speaker 1: I don't think they're completely unsafer useless.

I will tell you I 770 00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:27,239 Speaker 1: have come around on these devices. I used to be 771 00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:30,080 Speaker 1: hugely skeptical because I always thought they were ineffective, Like 772 00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:32,320 Speaker 1: how can you get a tiny light bulb to do anything? Really? 773 00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:35,800 Speaker 1: And to like the same point we're making everyone, yeah, exactly, 774 00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:38,160 Speaker 1: like it's it's heat, It's why do you need an 775 00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:42,320 Speaker 1: expensive device that their body like device is six hundred dollars, 776 00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:45,480 Speaker 1: the competing Dennis Groves doctor Dennis Groves device is four 777 00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:48,120 Speaker 1: fifty five. This is three forty nine. And that's part 778 00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:49,879 Speaker 1: of the reason I was intrigued. It's like, Okay, you're 779 00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:51,920 Speaker 1: bringing it down, You're doing something different with the cryo. 780 00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:56,480 Speaker 1: There's a lot more I think. I mean, I quoted 781 00:35:56,560 --> 00:36:00,080 Speaker 1: the SVP of product development from Shark on this in 782 00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:02,759 Speaker 1: my article, which is I was like the theair body. 783 00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:05,960 Speaker 1: One vibrates and you know, to massage your skin, and 784 00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:08,520 Speaker 1: I think the company probably touts some benefits to vibration 785 00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:10,120 Speaker 1: and I was like, well, I think I know the 786 00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:12,239 Speaker 1: answer to this, but this is do shark cryo glow 787 00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:16,040 Speaker 1: vibrate And they're like, there's no vibration. This is a 788 00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:19,360 Speaker 1: skincare device. Vibration does nothing for the skin. And I 789 00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:21,840 Speaker 1: was like, you tell me, girl, you tell me. 790 00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:22,160 Speaker 2: You know. 791 00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:25,640 Speaker 1: I was like I needed this exactly. And it's like 792 00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:28,560 Speaker 1: we're I think, as we see more competition in this 793 00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:32,520 Speaker 1: space where hopefully we'll see more people focus on what's 794 00:36:32,520 --> 00:36:35,440 Speaker 1: actually going to work in this sort of device where 795 00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:37,879 Speaker 1: there's a lot of like junk science. There's a lot 796 00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:41,520 Speaker 1: of like and my brain is so not working, but 797 00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:42,719 Speaker 1: like stuff that doesn't quite work. 798 00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:45,320 Speaker 2: It's you do science stuff, and it's they make these claims, 799 00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:47,080 Speaker 2: and they do it at the show where everyone's making 800 00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:49,200 Speaker 2: some molobally claims. 801 00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:51,680 Speaker 1: It's such a challenge to parse through all of it, 802 00:36:51,840 --> 00:36:52,440 Speaker 1: but also. 803 00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:55,239 Speaker 4: How does can I ask it just as it editorially? Yeah, 804 00:36:55,400 --> 00:36:57,160 Speaker 4: like how do I know that you You know? The 805 00:36:57,239 --> 00:36:59,160 Speaker 4: short answer is you work with a bunch of smart 806 00:36:59,160 --> 00:37:01,839 Speaker 4: people that know their fields and stuff. Like that, how 807 00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:05,200 Speaker 4: do you know like which, because there's we saw multiple 808 00:37:05,360 --> 00:37:07,200 Speaker 4: smart canes. I don't know if we saw the one 809 00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:12,160 Speaker 4: that you all awarded, Like, how can you tell if 810 00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:14,279 Speaker 4: it's if it's good or not. That's kind of a 811 00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:18,480 Speaker 4: remedial way of phrasing it. My brain's also not but 812 00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:21,040 Speaker 4: we can just whatever make our little dolphin sounds back 813 00:37:21,120 --> 00:37:23,640 Speaker 4: and forth. Yeah, trying to get there with you. 814 00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:26,960 Speaker 1: I think it's partly because in Gadget has had such 815 00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:29,919 Speaker 1: a history of covering CEOs. We have the process down pad. 816 00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:32,959 Speaker 1: We start the process the second we get the full 817 00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:35,480 Speaker 1: exhibit or list for shows like Unveiled, and. 818 00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:37,120 Speaker 2: Patrick actually woke us through the process. 819 00:37:37,239 --> 00:37:37,800 Speaker 1: Yeah of course. 820 00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:38,120 Speaker 6: Yeah. 821 00:37:38,239 --> 00:37:40,840 Speaker 1: So yeah, for this was my first year like fully 822 00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:44,600 Speaker 1: running the show for the team, and I started later 823 00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:46,480 Speaker 1: than I wanted to. Like since July, I've been like, 824 00:37:46,520 --> 00:37:48,520 Speaker 1: we need to start playing CEOs right and we at 825 00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:50,759 Speaker 1: least get the trouble and accommodation booked ahead of time. 826 00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:54,000 Speaker 1: But this year we started like November, which was late 827 00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:57,000 Speaker 1: for us, and it was very late. I was very nervous. 828 00:37:57,160 --> 00:37:59,080 Speaker 1: But the CTA also didn't have a lot of the 829 00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:02,920 Speaker 1: directories for us to pass through until the week before Christmas. 830 00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:05,880 Speaker 1: So we spend all two weeks. II did and take 831 00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:08,959 Speaker 1: time off during the Christmas break, and I just spent 832 00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:11,520 Speaker 1: it looking at exhibitor lists and we google every single 833 00:38:11,680 --> 00:38:13,920 Speaker 1: name that is an exhibitor. We find out what they do, 834 00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:15,480 Speaker 1: and if we don't, we'll reach out. We'll find their 835 00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:17,239 Speaker 1: pr email address, We'll reach out and be like, what 836 00:38:17,360 --> 00:38:20,360 Speaker 1: are you showing at CES. Then we'll do the research 837 00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:23,160 Speaker 1: of like what is in the space, what else is 838 00:38:23,200 --> 00:38:25,880 Speaker 1: already in the space, is it new? Is it like expensive? 839 00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:26,439 Speaker 4: Is a junk? 840 00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:26,719 Speaker 2: Right? 841 00:38:26,840 --> 00:38:29,080 Speaker 1: And then the process actually happens before we fly off 842 00:38:29,080 --> 00:38:31,200 Speaker 1: to Vegas. When we do get here, then we make 843 00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:33,279 Speaker 1: the assignments of like we're going to unveil, We're going 844 00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:35,600 Speaker 1: to Pepcom, We're going to these booths. These are the 845 00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:38,560 Speaker 1: things that actually look interesting. We'll go and look at them. 846 00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:41,520 Speaker 1: These are things that we don't know if they're good 847 00:38:41,640 --> 00:38:43,600 Speaker 1: or not. We need to investigate them. We have a 848 00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:46,440 Speaker 1: tag internally called investigate, and so we go look at 849 00:38:46,520 --> 00:38:48,520 Speaker 1: the thing on the show floor. We have our reporters 850 00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:51,640 Speaker 1: go out talk to the company. And then also because 851 00:38:51,680 --> 00:38:53,880 Speaker 1: we're in Vegas, the research is going to be limited 852 00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:55,880 Speaker 1: to what we can google within two minutes, right to 853 00:38:56,080 --> 00:38:58,160 Speaker 1: make a call on whether this is important, but yes, 854 00:38:58,239 --> 00:39:00,760 Speaker 1: we then we try to match the people with expertise 855 00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:03,360 Speaker 1: in the space to the product, so at least they 856 00:39:03,520 --> 00:39:04,600 Speaker 1: have a wealth of information. 857 00:39:05,400 --> 00:39:07,440 Speaker 4: Audio and oh my god, he's so good, right, but 858 00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:08,920 Speaker 4: that's the thing. You have specialists. 859 00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:11,480 Speaker 1: We have so much. Yeah, So Billy Steele's our specialist 860 00:39:11,520 --> 00:39:13,680 Speaker 1: on audio. I mean, the vendro was here. He's our 861 00:39:13,760 --> 00:39:14,319 Speaker 1: chip guy. 862 00:39:14,360 --> 00:39:15,439 Speaker 2: Oh he was stalking in video. 863 00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:18,640 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, all in video all day and NPCs as well, 864 00:39:18,760 --> 00:39:20,359 Speaker 1: I mean in video. I mean we have a bunch 865 00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:22,320 Speaker 1: of chip people too, which I'm so grateful for. And 866 00:39:22,440 --> 00:39:26,080 Speaker 1: we have multiple experts on some categories and they can 867 00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:28,120 Speaker 1: trade information. I wish you would get a chance to 868 00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:30,759 Speaker 1: see the debates that happen in our room sometimes, right, Like, yeah, 869 00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:34,920 Speaker 1: next year, next year, this will be the Engadget podcast 870 00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:37,480 Speaker 1: basically will have the topic exp. 871 00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:39,200 Speaker 2: We've got three of you on. I'm happy to have more. 872 00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:41,000 Speaker 1: I'm glad you've had so many. I mean, there is 873 00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:43,120 Speaker 1: such a diversity of voices and opinions on the team 874 00:39:43,160 --> 00:39:44,920 Speaker 1: to which I really like. And when they fight it out, 875 00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:48,040 Speaker 1: that's my favorite because I'm like, yeah, we can't agree 876 00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:48,640 Speaker 1: to disagree. 877 00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:50,600 Speaker 2: But also I've been quite critical of some of the 878 00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:53,000 Speaker 2: tech media on here, and I really this show is 879 00:39:53,080 --> 00:39:56,120 Speaker 2: not about like just see us. It's about kind of 880 00:39:56,160 --> 00:39:58,880 Speaker 2: explaining how the tech media functions because it's very easy too. 881 00:39:58,920 --> 00:40:01,280 Speaker 2: And I don't mean this is this insult to a gadget. 882 00:40:01,320 --> 00:40:03,600 Speaker 2: You could put it the c Net or even the 883 00:40:03,680 --> 00:40:07,960 Speaker 2: Virgin Yeah, definitely tech crunch. It's you think, oh, they 884 00:40:08,080 --> 00:40:10,200 Speaker 2: just turn up, and then they go it's the big company. 885 00:40:10,280 --> 00:40:13,120 Speaker 2: Oh look at a big television, big but when there 886 00:40:13,239 --> 00:40:16,560 Speaker 2: is actually quite a refined decade or more process that's 887 00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:19,520 Speaker 2: gone into it. And also covering this show is insane? 888 00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:21,600 Speaker 1: Is That was the bit that was like interesting to 889 00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:22,080 Speaker 1: hear for. 890 00:40:22,560 --> 00:40:24,359 Speaker 4: I mean, obviously it sucks that you had to spend 891 00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:27,520 Speaker 4: your entire holiday season parsing a list of twenty five hundred, 892 00:40:27,640 --> 00:40:30,080 Speaker 4: three thousand hour many companies are, but it seems like 893 00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:34,000 Speaker 4: it's so patently unmanageable, like it is, it was unmanageable 894 00:40:34,040 --> 00:40:34,279 Speaker 4: for us. 895 00:40:34,360 --> 00:40:34,759 Speaker 1: I don't know. 896 00:40:35,040 --> 00:40:36,960 Speaker 4: You probably did see everything, ever, because you were here 897 00:40:37,040 --> 00:40:39,000 Speaker 4: longer than me, or came close to that. 898 00:40:39,440 --> 00:40:42,839 Speaker 3: I don't see the day I discovered that that there 899 00:40:42,920 --> 00:40:45,120 Speaker 3: was a cryptal pavilion that had been going on for 900 00:40:45,239 --> 00:40:47,640 Speaker 3: the entire time. Yeah, and I felt like I had 901 00:40:47,960 --> 00:40:51,200 Speaker 3: I didn't see it. I looked everywhere, you know, I 902 00:40:51,280 --> 00:40:52,759 Speaker 3: accidentally stumbled on it because I was like. 903 00:40:52,760 --> 00:40:56,840 Speaker 1: What am I doing in? Yeah, and that is like 904 00:40:57,239 --> 00:40:57,560 Speaker 1: I don't know. 905 00:40:57,600 --> 00:40:59,680 Speaker 4: I mean, I guess that's like sort of what happens 906 00:40:59,680 --> 00:41:01,239 Speaker 4: with the show like this that like you know, the 907 00:41:01,360 --> 00:41:02,960 Speaker 4: idea is that you know, for them, I guess the 908 00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:05,479 Speaker 4: business is you said, whatever it is, five thousand dollars 909 00:41:05,520 --> 00:41:09,080 Speaker 4: a table for starters, and then it probably significantly more. Exactly, 910 00:41:09,160 --> 00:41:11,279 Speaker 4: it's like, so you don't say no to anybody unless 911 00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:15,239 Speaker 4: it's like a women's health Yeah, I guess, yeah they don't. 912 00:41:15,719 --> 00:41:20,960 Speaker 1: We don't do that. But the idea of trying to 913 00:41:21,040 --> 00:41:23,520 Speaker 1: manage something this size, it's it's impressive. Like that's like 914 00:41:23,600 --> 00:41:26,600 Speaker 1: a you know, I I have so much self doubts. 915 00:41:26,600 --> 00:41:28,959 Speaker 1: I'm always like did we cover everything? That we miss something? 916 00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:30,680 Speaker 1: And it's you're always going to So that's why I 917 00:41:30,760 --> 00:41:32,920 Speaker 1: had to, like I let the team PEP talk with this, 918 00:41:33,160 --> 00:41:35,160 Speaker 1: like we're here. Number one, we made it here. Some 919 00:41:35,239 --> 00:41:37,799 Speaker 1: people missed their flight, some people were sick, right number two, 920 00:41:38,880 --> 00:41:41,040 Speaker 1: something's going to go wrong and oh yeah, we'll just 921 00:41:41,120 --> 00:41:41,960 Speaker 1: have to accept it. Now. 922 00:41:42,080 --> 00:41:43,560 Speaker 2: That was the first thing I said to Phil. 923 00:41:43,600 --> 00:41:44,640 Speaker 1: Well, good, there you go. 924 00:41:44,760 --> 00:41:45,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, something will go. 925 00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:47,840 Speaker 1: Wrong exactly, so we cannot get hung up on like 926 00:41:47,960 --> 00:41:50,200 Speaker 1: I missed this thing. I'd say, I if I do 927 00:41:50,320 --> 00:41:52,200 Speaker 1: that to myself at this show and to my team, 928 00:41:52,600 --> 00:41:54,680 Speaker 1: we will just never walk away from this feeling like 929 00:41:54,719 --> 00:41:56,080 Speaker 1: we've done our draw you. 930 00:41:56,120 --> 00:41:58,279 Speaker 2: Cover just being great. And I say this like truly 931 00:41:58,360 --> 00:42:02,320 Speaker 2: as a reader of Engadget from fifteen plus years, like 932 00:42:02,520 --> 00:42:03,200 Speaker 2: like a long. 933 00:42:03,040 --> 00:42:05,040 Speaker 1: Long time just turned twenty something, twenty twenty. 934 00:42:05,080 --> 00:42:07,239 Speaker 2: Yeah, that makes sense. And it's like this is a 935 00:42:07,440 --> 00:42:10,359 Speaker 2: mammoth show to cover and it's hard to And I've 936 00:42:10,400 --> 00:42:12,560 Speaker 2: had the same thing running. This is my first CS. 937 00:42:12,640 --> 00:42:15,439 Speaker 2: I've run better offline on and it's like, yeah, I'm like, shit, 938 00:42:15,600 --> 00:42:17,640 Speaker 2: I miss this. I'll see an article go and'll be like, 939 00:42:18,160 --> 00:42:21,200 Speaker 2: I'm the worst. I have failed the show. I've endangered 940 00:42:21,280 --> 00:42:24,719 Speaker 2: the mission and it's just impossible to do. So I'm 941 00:42:24,760 --> 00:42:26,680 Speaker 2: gonna change tech because you actually and this is a 942 00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:29,319 Speaker 2: miss of mind. Can you tell me what the Samsung 943 00:42:29,560 --> 00:42:34,280 Speaker 2: bally what this robot is? Because I've seen the articles 944 00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:36,160 Speaker 2: and I get I did not get a chance to 945 00:42:36,239 --> 00:42:36,560 Speaker 2: look at it. 946 00:42:36,840 --> 00:42:38,520 Speaker 1: Well, I don't know that it's even here at CS 947 00:42:38,520 --> 00:42:39,160 Speaker 1: twenty twenty. 948 00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:40,880 Speaker 2: Five, or someone's been showing pictures of it. 949 00:42:41,120 --> 00:42:43,879 Speaker 1: Yeah, Bali. Bali's actually been at CS twenty twenty four 950 00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:46,560 Speaker 1: while it was debuted at CS twenty twenty four. But 951 00:42:46,640 --> 00:42:49,560 Speaker 1: the concept of this like rolling robot that Samsung makes 952 00:42:49,840 --> 00:42:52,520 Speaker 1: has been around for like what five years, I want 953 00:42:52,560 --> 00:42:55,480 Speaker 1: to say at least, if not longer, and it's in 954 00:42:55,600 --> 00:42:58,680 Speaker 1: its like most mature iteration. The one that's going on sale. 955 00:42:59,120 --> 00:43:04,080 Speaker 1: It's a bowling ball sized yellow robot that rolls around 956 00:43:04,120 --> 00:43:06,120 Speaker 1: your house. It's got a built in projector. It's got 957 00:43:06,160 --> 00:43:07,960 Speaker 1: the speakers built in. It listens to you speak. You 958 00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:10,160 Speaker 1: can talk to it and be like, oh trying, you know, 959 00:43:10,440 --> 00:43:14,000 Speaker 1: open the shades or like Casarta, the oven or whatever. 960 00:43:14,239 --> 00:43:17,200 Speaker 1: It talks to your smart home appliances. It can beam 961 00:43:17,400 --> 00:43:19,880 Speaker 1: like your screen on the ceiling, on a wall, on 962 00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:23,680 Speaker 1: the floor, wherever makes sense for you. The pitch was like, 963 00:43:23,760 --> 00:43:26,960 Speaker 1: it's this AI fitness companion, but it's also your home assistant, 964 00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:30,160 Speaker 1: all of these things. The news this CEES, because last 965 00:43:30,239 --> 00:43:32,600 Speaker 1: year was when they showed it off this CES is 966 00:43:32,640 --> 00:43:36,040 Speaker 1: that it's supposedly going to be available in the first 967 00:43:36,080 --> 00:43:39,040 Speaker 1: half of this year. I will caveat that. When they 968 00:43:39,239 --> 00:43:42,239 Speaker 1: first announced Bali properly in CS twenty twenty four, they 969 00:43:42,280 --> 00:43:44,480 Speaker 1: did say it will be available in twenty twenty four, 970 00:43:44,640 --> 00:43:47,279 Speaker 1: So it's like, Samsung, are you are you really going 971 00:43:47,360 --> 00:43:48,359 Speaker 1: to push this out this year? 972 00:43:48,440 --> 00:43:48,640 Speaker 2: You know? 973 00:43:49,480 --> 00:43:54,239 Speaker 1: More of that claims to be cute.

There's it's not a good question. But the 979 00:44:04,960 --> 00:44:06,560 Speaker 4: thing that's in my head is just like, really me, 980 00:44:06,680 --> 00:44:09,479 Speaker 4: but are you sure? That sounds really hard? 981 00:44:09,960 --> 00:44:11,640 Speaker 1: That's it. It is a cute little guy. 982 00:44:11,840 --> 00:44:13,880 Speaker 4: And if you think this is like something that I 983 00:44:14,320 --> 00:44:16,239 Speaker 4: U sort of picked up, I guess also from Chris 984 00:44:16,320 --> 00:44:17,719 Speaker 4: of that does it does seem to be like one 985 00:44:17,760 --> 00:44:19,799 Speaker 4: of the themes of the Cees is cute little guys. 986 00:44:20,480 --> 00:44:21,560 Speaker 1: So this this fits. 987 00:44:21,680 --> 00:44:23,840 Speaker 4: This is like, you know, it doesn't just blinking.

But at 1001 00:44:54,840 --> 00:44:58,440 Speaker 2: the same time, putting that aside, why do I need 1002 00:44:58,520 --> 00:45:00,759 Speaker 2: a robot following me? Why is to what end is 1003 00:45:00,760 --> 00:45:03,080 Speaker 2: it following me? Oh, it's going to project something? What 1004 00:45:03,239 --> 00:45:04,279 Speaker 2: is it going to project? Right? 1005 00:45:04,440 --> 00:45:07,040 Speaker 3: And I also asked when did the shift to like 1006 00:45:07,120 --> 00:45:09,040 Speaker 3: affectionate intelligence. 1007 00:45:08,480 --> 00:45:10,279 Speaker 2: To Yeah, that's actually a good point. 1008 00:45:10,840 --> 00:45:12,920 Speaker 3: I mean, has that been something you guys have detected 1009 00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:14,000 Speaker 3: over the past few years. 1010 00:45:14,200 --> 00:45:17,040 Speaker 1: My opinion is, I mean, the IBO has been around 1011 00:45:17,160 --> 00:45:20,400 Speaker 1: for for a very long time, and it's peaked everyone's interest, 1012 00:45:20,480 --> 00:45:22,680 Speaker 1: but it never really took off. Nobody really sold them 1013 00:45:22,800 --> 00:45:25,520 Speaker 1: but robotics if you really look at the space in 1014 00:45:25,600 --> 00:45:28,799 Speaker 1: the real world where is robotics. Robotics is in manufacturing 1015 00:45:28,880 --> 00:45:32,520 Speaker 1: ROBOTICSYSM warehouses. They don't need to be humanoid robots, None 1016 00:45:32,560 --> 00:45:33,759 Speaker 1: of them needs to be. They just need to be 1017 00:45:33,960 --> 00:45:36,120 Speaker 1: arms that repeat and action over and over again and. 1018 00:45:36,200 --> 00:45:36,880 Speaker 2: Do it so well. 1019 00:45:37,040 --> 00:45:39,320 Speaker 1: I value in the exactly do the things that we 1020 00:45:39,400 --> 00:45:42,279 Speaker 1: don't want to do? These things you know, we've I 1021 00:45:42,360 --> 00:45:45,600 Speaker 1: think we are collectively learning that the humanoid robots don't 1022 00:45:45,680 --> 00:45:49,359 Speaker 1: quite make sense other than to impress people to stalk 1023 00:45:49,400 --> 00:45:54,360 Speaker 1: in AWE created movies, remind people about the terminator exactly, 1024 00:45:55,440 --> 00:46:00,840 Speaker 1: and the actual helpful robot arms in those like manufacturing 1025 00:46:00,840 --> 00:46:03,640 Speaker 1: spaces are not as sexy and not as appealing visually. 1026 00:46:03,800 --> 00:46:06,759 Speaker 1: So what else is that far anyway for something might 1027 00:46:06,840 --> 00:46:09,080 Speaker 1: be right? Sure, but then like what is the next 1028 00:46:09,400 --> 00:46:11,360 Speaker 1: space they saw? They looked to Eyebo, they looked to 1029 00:46:11,440 --> 00:46:14,040 Speaker 1: the cute ones. They realized people want cute. I mean, 1030 00:46:14,200 --> 00:46:15,960 Speaker 1: I think they looked at Pepper as well. There is 1031 00:46:16,440 --> 00:46:18,840 Speaker 1: I think function and use for some of them in 1032 00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:22,080 Speaker 1: specific spaces once again, which is I think in the 1033 00:46:22,200 --> 00:46:25,640 Speaker 1: hospice care space, there's room for like telepresence robots, there's 1034 00:46:25,880 --> 00:46:29,920 Speaker 1: for like sort of some sort of healthcare like, uh, robots. 1035 00:46:29,960 --> 00:46:32,640 Speaker 1: I go to this place called kupa revolving sushi. 1036 00:46:33,680 --> 00:46:36,279 Speaker 4: A conveyor belt place, Yes exactly, but that was her 1037 00:46:36,360 --> 00:46:37,720 Speaker 4: number one ship all through our twenties. 1038 00:46:37,800 --> 00:46:41,320 Speaker 1: That was yeah, forever, like whatever her birthday.

Kua Revolving Sushi has a robot 1047 00:47:06,560 --> 00:47:08,680 Speaker 1: that brings you your drinks when you request for it, right, 1048 00:47:08,800 --> 00:47:10,680 Speaker 1: Like all the servers have to do is place your 1049 00:47:10,719 --> 00:47:11,399 Speaker 1: drink on the tier. 1050 00:47:11,800 --> 00:47:14,520 Speaker 2: And then I was in career at the beginning of 1051 00:47:14,640 --> 00:47:18,120 Speaker 2: last year there was a dishwash dishbot but it worked 1052 00:47:18,160 --> 00:47:21,080 Speaker 2: like and it seemed to actually work these like robotics 1053 00:47:21,160 --> 00:47:24,520 Speaker 2: is here, but like many things, I guess it's not 1054 00:47:24,600 --> 00:47:25,160 Speaker 2: that exciting. 1055 00:47:25,280 --> 00:47:27,120 Speaker 4: Yeah, this comes back to something that we were talking 1056 00:47:27,120 --> 00:47:30,480 Speaker 4: about yesterday, like if the actual applications for a lot 1057 00:47:30,520 --> 00:47:32,759 Speaker 4: of these robots are like, like you said, it's like 1058 00:47:32,880 --> 00:47:36,200 Speaker 4: either elder care or accessibility and stuff like that. That 1059 00:47:36,360 --> 00:47:38,680 Speaker 4: seems like it's the case for a lot of this stuff. 1060 00:47:38,719 --> 00:47:41,440 Speaker 4: A lot of the sort of like augmented reality is 1061 00:47:41,520 --> 00:47:42,799 Speaker 4: if that's the term for it, I don't know if 1062 00:47:42,800 --> 00:47:43,520 Speaker 4: it's a R or whatever. 1063 00:47:43,680 --> 00:47:45,400 Speaker 1: Not the thing like the brain implant, what do you 1064 00:47:45,480 --> 00:47:45,719 Speaker 1: call it? 1065 00:47:46,040 --> 00:47:50,200 Speaker 2: You're a link Novai, Yeah, yeah, but like one that 1066 00:47:50,320 --> 00:47:53,080 Speaker 2: was made up, so like just your control of. 1067 00:47:54,840 --> 00:47:57,280 Speaker 4: It's like all of that seems to be about helping 1068 00:47:57,520 --> 00:48:00,200 Speaker 4: people who have these and yet like it's feel like 1069 00:48:00,239 --> 00:48:02,320 Speaker 4: with this robot, like you make it cute because and 1070 00:48:02,440 --> 00:48:04,279 Speaker 4: you show when you're like demoing it for people, you 1071 00:48:04,320 --> 00:48:05,839 Speaker 4: don't want people to think about being sick. 1072 00:48:05,880 --> 00:48:07,400 Speaker 1: I guess that's not good for advertising. 1073 00:48:07,719 --> 00:48:09,800 Speaker 4: Yeah, but you show them instead this thing that like 1074 00:48:10,280 --> 00:48:12,080 Speaker 4: I'm not sure that people really want to be like 1075 00:48:12,160 --> 00:48:14,960 Speaker 4: followed around their house, Like I'll turn my own stove on, honestly, 1076 00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:16,839 Speaker 4: Like I don't want anyone else to be Yeah yeah, 1077 00:48:16,880 --> 00:48:19,800 Speaker 4: yeah right. But it's so there's something funny about the 1078 00:48:19,840 --> 00:48:22,360 Speaker 4: idea of like inventing this thing that actually is useful. 1079 00:48:22,440 --> 00:48:24,640 Speaker 4: Actually it could add value to people's lives, but you. 1080 00:48:24,760 --> 00:48:25,520 Speaker 1: Can't sell it. 1081 00:48:25,800 --> 00:48:28,680 Speaker 4: Yeah, in a way, here's the thing actually reflects its utility. 1082 00:48:29,120 --> 00:48:31,399 Speaker 1: I Again, another thing I've ranted about for a couple 1083 00:48:31,400 --> 00:48:33,480 Speaker 1: of years now is how much we're failing people in 1084 00:48:33,600 --> 00:48:35,960 Speaker 1: terms of elder care, long term care for people in 1085 00:48:36,080 --> 00:48:38,880 Speaker 1: late late stages of life. And the reason we do 1086 00:48:39,000 --> 00:48:41,520 Speaker 1: that as a society is because I think companies and 1087 00:48:41,600 --> 00:48:44,399 Speaker 1: corporations don't see value in providing this sort of care 1088 00:48:44,840 --> 00:48:47,799 Speaker 1: or more products in this space, right, And so that's 1089 00:48:47,840 --> 00:48:49,239 Speaker 1: why they don't want to tell you that this is 1090 00:48:49,320 --> 00:48:52,239 Speaker 1: better suited for like older care caregiver situations. Even though 1091 00:48:52,280 --> 00:48:53,680 Speaker 1: there are companies that will come out and say that, 1092 00:48:54,120 --> 00:48:56,600 Speaker 1: bigger companies won't want to do it because like a 1093 00:48:56,680 --> 00:48:59,439 Speaker 1: PR I'm thinking this is a PR conversation, I don't 1094 00:48:59,480 --> 00:49:01,400 Speaker 1: know that they want to say that we're investing in 1095 00:49:01,480 --> 00:49:03,359 Speaker 1: this thing that serves a very niche audience that might 1096 00:49:03,440 --> 00:49:04,439 Speaker 1: die in a few years. 1097 00:49:04,520 --> 00:49:06,440 Speaker 2: And there is a reason then that absolutely is it 1098 00:49:06,560 --> 00:49:07,719 Speaker 2: because you don't get a growth. 1099 00:49:07,560 --> 00:49:10,760 Speaker 1: Market exactly, the growth growth mindset that sucks exactly. 1100 00:49:11,120 --> 00:49:13,160 Speaker 2: And you also don't get growth out of things with 1101 00:49:13,320 --> 00:49:17,319 Speaker 2: elderly people other than being a private, privatey equity firm 1102 00:49:17,400 --> 00:49:18,359 Speaker 2: that buys old people. 1103 00:49:18,920 --> 00:49:20,600 Speaker 3: Yes, I mean this is This is one thing I 1104 00:49:20,640 --> 00:49:23,160 Speaker 3: think of with the care economy, which is like the 1105 00:49:24,040 --> 00:49:29,120 Speaker 3: growth of it has been decided largely by the consequences 1106 00:49:29,160 --> 00:49:32,640 Speaker 3: of private equity firms laying waste. 1107 00:49:32,640 --> 00:49:36,400 Speaker 2: To infrastructure seeing they can build into it, and then the. 1108 00:49:36,800 --> 00:49:41,360 Speaker 3: The evaporation of resources for facilities leading to these firms, 1109 00:49:41,760 --> 00:49:45,879 Speaker 3: these on demand firms, coming in and applying the uber 1110 00:49:45,960 --> 00:49:49,000 Speaker 3: model to them and saying, look like we will create 1111 00:49:49,040 --> 00:49:52,960 Speaker 3: a marketplace where the nurses will bid each other to 1112 00:49:53,040 --> 00:49:55,960 Speaker 3: the lowest possible price. So it's come in without training. 1113 00:49:56,800 --> 00:49:58,879 Speaker 3: I mean training in the sense not like because they're 1114 00:49:58,920 --> 00:50:01,440 Speaker 3: not employees, they're not hold where things are, who to 1115 00:50:01,520 --> 00:50:04,080 Speaker 3: take care of, how to how to operate like that. 1116 00:50:04,200 --> 00:50:07,800 Speaker 4: Like itinerant nurse like traveling nurse economy and suck and that. 1117 00:50:08,080 --> 00:50:10,680 Speaker 3: And this makes me think of what we see sometimes 1118 00:50:10,760 --> 00:50:14,040 Speaker 3: with some of this technology that's being offered, and that 1119 00:50:15,960 --> 00:50:18,439 Speaker 3: you know, some of the things that we've seen would 1120 00:50:18,480 --> 00:50:21,760 Speaker 3: be very good and very useful and should be durable, 1121 00:50:21,800 --> 00:50:25,600 Speaker 3: sustainable businesses just offering care to help people are not 1122 00:50:25,640 --> 00:50:28,440 Speaker 3: able body to help people who are incognitive decline, who 1123 00:50:28,640 --> 00:50:32,040 Speaker 3: to help people who need care? And yet when we 1124 00:50:32,120 --> 00:50:34,080 Speaker 3: would talk with some of them, you could see like 1125 00:50:34,560 --> 00:50:37,239 Speaker 3: that's actually that's not always the first way they think 1126 00:50:37,400 --> 00:50:39,960 Speaker 3: or talk about it. They're also talking about like, oh, 1127 00:50:40,040 --> 00:50:42,719 Speaker 3: like this firm would love this application that we have, 1128 00:50:42,840 --> 00:50:45,040 Speaker 3: and it's like okay, but like that's not real. The 1129 00:50:45,120 --> 00:50:48,160 Speaker 3: thing that is real is this care. This this way 1130 00:50:48,239 --> 00:50:50,359 Speaker 3: you would have to be able to help people who 1131 00:50:50,400 --> 00:50:53,360 Speaker 3: need care. But you're you're kind of using it. Some 1132 00:50:53,440 --> 00:50:55,600 Speaker 3: of these firms feel like they're using it to bootstrap 1133 00:50:55,680 --> 00:50:56,680 Speaker 3: into the growth. 1134 00:50:57,160 --> 00:50:58,520 Speaker 1: You know, like you have to like bang. 1135 00:50:58,560 --> 00:51:00,879 Speaker 4: It's such a bizarre thing for me too, especially when 1136 00:51:00,880 --> 00:51:03,680 Speaker 4: you consider like what amazing I mean for the ones 1137 00:51:03,719 --> 00:51:05,800 Speaker 4: that actually exist, Like not everything that we saw, you know, 1138 00:51:06,000 --> 00:51:09,000 Speaker 4: exists in any sort of real stage yet, but like 1139 00:51:09,719 --> 00:51:11,279 Speaker 4: the idea that you have to like bang on the 1140 00:51:11,920 --> 00:51:18,279 Speaker 4: sort of fantastical growth possibilities instead of the actual service. Yeah, 1141 00:51:18,400 --> 00:51:21,120 Speaker 4: that you have created a thing that can you know, 1142 00:51:21,239 --> 00:51:24,960 Speaker 4: provide this very service with this remarkable bit of technology 1143 00:51:25,000 --> 00:51:25,239 Speaker 4: you did. 1144 00:51:25,440 --> 00:51:28,759 Speaker 2: There's no further ways to monetize the old person. I'm 1145 00:51:28,800 --> 00:51:31,320 Speaker 2: not I like that it's funny whatever, Well not for 1146 00:51:31,440 --> 00:51:33,360 Speaker 2: me because I'm like the joker, because I love for 1147 00:51:33,520 --> 00:51:37,080 Speaker 2: the sad things.

Being able to do that now is magic. 1227 00:54:51,000 --> 00:54:53,560 Speaker 2: But that took a shit ton of effort to get 1228 00:54:53,680 --> 00:54:55,959 Speaker 2: But also I didn't have any mobility issues that would 1229 00:54:55,960 --> 00:54:58,320 Speaker 2: have precluded me from doing yoga. Yeah, so this, do 1230 00:54:58,360 --> 00:54:59,520 Speaker 2: you know how expensive this is? 1231 00:55:00,400 --> 00:55:00,520 Speaker 1: Yea? 1232 00:55:00,880 --> 00:55:01,799 Speaker 2: How expensive we talk? 1233 00:55:01,960 --> 00:55:03,320 Speaker 1: I mean, you know the Octor Express. 1234 00:55:03,360 --> 00:55:05,520 Speaker 4: I was going to say that they have it doesn't 1235 00:55:05,560 --> 00:55:08,600 Speaker 4: have robot arms in it, It's still like expensive. 1236 00:55:09,880 --> 00:55:10,560 Speaker 2: How much we're talking? 1237 00:55:10,680 --> 00:55:13,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, I didn't think so they have no actual info ya, 1238 00:55:13,640 --> 00:55:16,640 Speaker 1: but the ballpark figure that I'm hearing is like five thousand, 1239 00:55:18,239 --> 00:55:19,680 Speaker 1: And I was like, are you going to talk to 1240 00:55:19,800 --> 00:55:23,400 Speaker 1: insurance providers?

I don't think this is a product. 1242 00:55:25,600 --> 00:55:27,480 Speaker 1: The insurance providers have to decide whether to cover it. 1243 00:55:27,560 --> 00:55:29,120 Speaker 2: They barely cover medicine exactly. 1244 00:55:29,200 --> 00:55:30,719 Speaker 1: There you go, my I don't want to get into it. 1245 00:55:30,800 --> 00:55:34,120 Speaker 4: But and also I can't imagine you're like anybody's pants, 1246 00:55:34,160 --> 00:55:36,280 Speaker 4: Like you're not selling a lot of stuff at MSRP 1247 00:55:36,520 --> 00:55:38,400 Speaker 4: when it's five thousand dollars exactly. 1248 00:55:38,719 --> 00:55:41,640 Speaker 2: To be honest, though, secretly, this is the stuff I'm 1249 00:55:41,680 --> 00:55:44,840 Speaker 2: most excited about because like the idea of just putting 1250 00:55:44,880 --> 00:55:48,280 Speaker 2: on a suit that makes you able bodied for anyone 1251 00:55:48,480 --> 00:55:51,640 Speaker 2: is kind of magical.

This food supposed that if 1331 00:59:14,440 --> 00:59:16,520 Speaker 1: you use to spoon, it'll turn everything you put in 1332 00:59:16,600 --> 00:59:19,479 Speaker 1: your mouth by tricking your taste buds into something that's 1333 00:59:19,600 --> 00:59:22,280 Speaker 1: like thinking that something salty or saltier than it al. 1334 00:59:22,600 --> 00:59:25,000 Speaker 4: I learned about this from Jesse Ferrara, where I get 1335 00:59:25,040 --> 00:59:28,320 Speaker 4: all my scientific information. But this is apparently the same 1336 00:59:28,360 --> 00:59:31,160 Speaker 4: technology that people use for saltwater pools. That it's basically 1337 00:59:31,200 --> 00:59:35,080 Speaker 4: a way of like making something salty without like dumping 1338 00:59:35,120 --> 00:59:36,400 Speaker 4: a bunch of sodium into. 1339 00:59:36,280 --> 00:59:40,680 Speaker 3: So the idea is you will shy away from things 1340 00:59:40,760 --> 00:59:43,640 Speaker 3: that have a certain level of salt because they'll taste 1341 00:59:43,640 --> 00:59:44,240 Speaker 3: even more sot. 1342 00:59:44,320 --> 00:59:45,880 Speaker 2: I can answer this be because I've had a lot 1343 00:59:45,920 --> 00:59:49,160 Speaker 2: of emails I want to apologize to the people. We 1344 00:59:49,360 --> 00:59:51,240 Speaker 2: kind of turn on those up at this. It turns 1345 00:59:51,240 --> 00:59:54,160 Speaker 2: out there are people who have like real physical problems 1346 00:59:54,200 --> 00:59:56,640 Speaker 2: with salt. They have to It's not like I should 1347 00:59:56,680 --> 00:59:58,840 Speaker 2: have less, so it's if I have too much, I 1348 00:59:58,920 --> 01:00:02,520 Speaker 2: will be in physical and this is magical for them. 1349 01:00:02,560 --> 01:00:05,080 Speaker 2: It's like I want to like as the show goes on, 1350 01:00:05,280 --> 01:00:07,520 Speaker 2: as we approach the end, anything I really mess up, 1351 01:00:07,560 --> 01:00:09,320 Speaker 2: I will try and fix. But apparently like this is 1352 01:00:09,360 --> 01:00:12,400 Speaker 2: a big deal for those people you can like have salt. 1353 01:00:12,600 --> 01:00:14,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's not just like a diet thing too, Right, 1354 01:00:14,600 --> 01:00:17,439 Speaker 1: It's like some people have irritation, inflammation or I don't 1355 01:00:17,440 --> 01:00:21,160 Speaker 1: know if there's a salt allergy in the world, but right, hypertension. 1356 01:00:21,200 --> 01:00:23,240 Speaker 1: So you want hypertensions a diet based thing that I'm 1357 01:00:23,280 --> 01:00:25,920 Speaker 1: considering as an issue. Right, Like for healthy reasons, you 1358 01:00:26,120 --> 01:00:28,840 Speaker 1: still want to be able to taste salty foods. It's 1359 01:00:28,920 --> 01:00:31,280 Speaker 1: not about making something taste so salty that you will avoid. 1360 01:00:31,320 --> 01:00:34,760 Speaker 1: It is more drinking bland things that will then taste salty. 1361 01:00:34,840 --> 01:00:37,000 Speaker 3: Because of the use of this makes sense. 1362 01:00:37,040 --> 01:00:39,040 Speaker 4: It was like you also get that you can kind 1363 01:00:39,080 --> 01:00:41,720 Speaker 4: of like dial in the experience like what you want. 1364 01:00:41,800 --> 01:00:43,560 Speaker 4: I think there's isn't that right that It's like you 1365 01:00:43,600 --> 01:00:45,280 Speaker 4: can go from like one to four and how salty. 1366 01:00:45,880 --> 01:00:47,800 Speaker 1: I walked the periphery of the booth the whole time 1367 01:00:47,840 --> 01:00:51,960 Speaker 1: because I couldn't get inside. What was the other saliva 1368 01:00:52,080 --> 01:00:55,160 Speaker 1: based Yeah, let's find things you could spit on. Yeah, 1369 01:00:55,200 --> 01:00:55,640 Speaker 1: there were two. 1370 01:01:00,520 --> 01:01:01,280 Speaker 2: We call it the thing. 1371 01:01:01,360 --> 01:01:06,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, I uh here we are giggling about it. 1372 01:01:07,160 --> 01:01:07,919 Speaker 2: But it is weird. 1373 01:01:08,240 --> 01:01:10,040 Speaker 1: It is this is there are two devices. One is 1374 01:01:10,080 --> 01:01:13,160 Speaker 1: called the cordesans and the other is called hormometer. We're 1375 01:01:13,200 --> 01:01:18,520 Speaker 1: not fans of the Yeah, her hormometer like hormone meter. 1376 01:01:20,040 --> 01:01:22,720 Speaker 1: That's just a really funny it's a great portmanteau. I 1377 01:01:22,840 --> 01:01:26,080 Speaker 1: think hormometer is slightly further along in my opinion of 1378 01:01:26,160 --> 01:01:30,000 Speaker 1: the process. Basically, these are at home tests that you 1379 01:01:30,080 --> 01:01:31,840 Speaker 1: can use your saliva, that you can use on your 1380 01:01:31,840 --> 01:01:34,480 Speaker 1: saliva and they'll tell you how, much like cortisols in 1381 01:01:34,600 --> 01:01:35,520 Speaker 1: your kay. 1382 01:01:35,800 --> 01:01:38,280 Speaker 2: So I think the problem is the labeling, because everything 1383 01:01:38,320 --> 01:01:41,200 Speaker 2: you've described is wonderful exactly. Also, if not be described 1384 01:01:41,200 --> 01:01:42,600 Speaker 2: as saliva base. 1385 01:01:42,600 --> 01:01:45,520 Speaker 1: Well that was to me the way it came off, and. 1386 01:01:48,920 --> 01:01:51,160 Speaker 3: Saliva based like some. 1387 01:01:51,640 --> 01:01:53,680 Speaker 1: Faint their nose tasting notes. 1388 01:01:54,040 --> 01:01:54,440 Speaker 4: Interesting. 1389 01:01:54,560 --> 01:01:58,480 Speaker 1: Interesting. I like it because, like I'm really into like, uh, 1390 01:01:59,080 --> 01:02:02,040 Speaker 1: getting data about yourself, right, But I don't want blood 1391 01:02:02,080 --> 01:02:04,480 Speaker 1: testing all the time. I don't believe in the photos 1392 01:02:04,480 --> 01:02:06,480 Speaker 1: scanning of your face to tell your face age. I 1393 01:02:06,560 --> 01:02:10,360 Speaker 1: want you to actually use I guess bodily fluids to 1394 01:02:10,560 --> 01:02:13,400 Speaker 1: know what is up with me. And this seems smart, right, 1395 01:02:13,440 --> 01:02:16,440 Speaker 1: Like it's non invasive, it's an easy way, and there 1396 01:02:16,480 --> 01:02:19,440 Speaker 1: are so many ways that we can avoid going to 1397 01:02:19,600 --> 01:02:22,240 Speaker 1: the doctor. I guess it's not like going to a 1398 01:02:22,280 --> 01:02:24,120 Speaker 1: doctor is a bad thing. It is that like people 1399 01:02:24,480 --> 01:02:26,600 Speaker 1: want to know more about themselves. People have been strapping 1400 01:02:26,640 --> 01:02:29,600 Speaker 1: glucose monitors on themselves just to understand their blood sugar 1401 01:02:29,720 --> 01:02:32,920 Speaker 1: levels when they don't have diabetes. Right, So there's so 1402 01:02:33,040 --> 01:02:36,840 Speaker 1: many reasons people could benefit from analyzing their saliva in 1403 01:02:36,880 --> 01:02:41,040 Speaker 1: my opinion. For hormometer, they do both cortisol and progesterone levels. 1404 01:02:41,600 --> 01:02:44,560 Speaker 2: So what would those be just just for the cortisol. 1405 01:02:44,920 --> 01:02:48,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, cortisol is distress hormones, so the levels of cortisol 1406 01:02:48,200 --> 01:02:50,920 Speaker 1: are high or in higher stress. And then progesterone is 1407 01:02:51,000 --> 01:02:54,080 Speaker 1: something that people can use to track I guess fertility 1408 01:02:54,160 --> 01:02:58,480 Speaker 1: related things or cycle related or there's So I'm not 1409 01:02:58,640 --> 01:03:00,480 Speaker 1: velvers enough in the science here to tell you what 1410 01:03:00,520 --> 01:03:01,560 Speaker 1: else progester wants about. 1411 01:03:01,680 --> 01:03:03,360 Speaker 2: That makes all of us and sadly we have to 1412 01:03:03,400 --> 01:03:05,280 Speaker 2: come to the end of this part of the show, 1413 01:03:06,120 --> 01:03:07,160 Speaker 2: ed where can people find you? 1414 01:03:07,920 --> 01:03:11,400 Speaker 3: The tech bubble, dot substat, dot com, this machine Kills 1415 01:03:11,680 --> 01:03:14,240 Speaker 3: and Big black Jack of beIN on Twitter and blue 1416 01:03:14,280 --> 01:03:15,440 Speaker 3: Sky Shehlon where. 1417 01:03:15,280 --> 01:03:15,920 Speaker 2: Can people find you? 1418 01:03:16,160 --> 01:03:18,000 Speaker 1: I think I'll still be on the meta apps for 1419 01:03:18,040 --> 01:03:20,440 Speaker 1: a bit so Sherlyn Instagram, c h e r O 1420 01:03:20,560 --> 01:03:21,920 Speaker 1: r n n s t h e r A. 1421 01:03:22,040 --> 01:03:27,160 Speaker 4: M uh defector dot com, The Distraction Podcast It's Christmas 1422 01:03:27,200 --> 01:03:31,360 Speaker 4: Town Podcast, and David Jroth dot b s k y 1423 01:03:31,520 --> 01:03:32,360 Speaker 4: dot Social. 1424 01:03:32,520 --> 01:03:34,480 Speaker 2: Though I realized many of you PLoP my end, and 1425 01:03:34,600 --> 01:03:36,919 Speaker 2: indeed when you hear I'm hurt, you cheer and laugh 1426 01:03:37,080 --> 01:03:39,800 Speaker 2: and squeal and a wink.

And it's terrifying how many people 1480 01:06:34,800 --> 01:06:37,400 Speaker 5: who have come on the show have been talking to 1481 01:06:37,480 --> 01:06:39,840 Speaker 5: me separately at the bar have said that they've met 1482 01:06:40,240 --> 01:06:42,920 Speaker 5: people at the stalls who asked them, so, what do 1483 01:06:42,960 --> 01:06:44,000 Speaker 5: you think our products should do? 1484 01:06:45,040 --> 01:06:46,560 Speaker 4: No, that's not what you do. 1485 01:06:47,200 --> 01:06:49,200 Speaker 5: If you have a product you're going to sell to someone, 1486 01:06:49,880 --> 01:06:53,440 Speaker 5: you really better know what it does so it can 1487 01:06:53,560 --> 01:06:57,080 Speaker 5: be sold legally safely, well so. 1488 01:06:57,160 --> 01:06:57,920 Speaker 1: That it could do it. 1489 01:06:58,600 --> 01:06:59,400 Speaker 5: Oh well there's that too. 1490 01:06:59,600 --> 01:07:03,240 Speaker 4: Is that part the again asking an ignorant question? Okay, 1491 01:07:03,280 --> 01:07:05,040 Speaker 4: you what days in? You need to stop leading in 1492 01:07:05,120 --> 01:07:07,760 Speaker 4: with the item' not so I don't know a lot 1493 01:07:07,800 --> 01:07:09,520 Speaker 4: about c I mean I know something about like what 1494 01:07:09,720 --> 01:07:11,680 Speaker 4: this one you know, like and how it feels. Maybe 1495 01:07:12,920 --> 01:07:15,080 Speaker 4: that seems that does strike me as strange, the idea 1496 01:07:15,120 --> 01:07:17,800 Speaker 4: of showing up with something that's like halfway done, like 1497 01:07:17,880 --> 01:07:20,160 Speaker 4: they give me just like publishing a draft with a 1498 01:07:20,200 --> 01:07:21,800 Speaker 4: bunch of t ks in it and being like, I'm 1499 01:07:21,840 --> 01:07:24,480 Speaker 4: really interested in anybody's feedback on how you think this 1500 01:07:24,600 --> 01:07:25,720 Speaker 4: story should conclude. 1501 01:07:25,840 --> 01:07:28,840 Speaker 3: Well, after this, we're going to drive out west to 1502 01:07:28,920 --> 01:07:32,960 Speaker 3: a little place I like to call Palo Alto, a 1503 01:07:33,240 --> 01:07:35,800 Speaker 3: whole world that is built on stuff. 1504 01:07:35,920 --> 01:07:39,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, the prototype, Well, yeah, it's like pizza. 1505 01:07:39,640 --> 01:07:41,920 Speaker 2: Alonso just madeen off for a three year deal to 1506 01:07:42,120 --> 01:07:44,480 Speaker 2: the Mets, which is news I'm giving to David allowed 1507 01:07:44,520 --> 01:07:47,120 Speaker 2: to do that. Yeah, Like it's much like that, like 1508 01:07:47,200 --> 01:07:49,280 Speaker 2: what will you do pizza? And that is actually a 1509 01:07:49,320 --> 01:07:51,600 Speaker 2: good question for the Mets at this point. But nevertheless, 1510 01:07:51,640 --> 01:07:54,040 Speaker 2: to feel that one if you want, please please have 1511 01:07:54,160 --> 01:07:58,040 Speaker 2: them some stuff. Handle the Mets real quick. 1512 01:07:57,920 --> 01:07:58,440 Speaker 1: Couldn't hurt. 1513 01:07:58,800 --> 01:07:58,840 Speaker 5: No. 1514 01:07:58,960 --> 01:08:01,400 Speaker 4: The Alonzo thing, I as sentimentally as a Mets fan, 1515 01:08:01,440 --> 01:08:04,640 Speaker 4: I hope he returns. I think he's declining. The Mets 1516 01:08:04,680 --> 01:08:07,320 Speaker 4: seem to think he's declining. He if he's making offers 1517 01:08:07,400 --> 01:08:11,000 Speaker 4: to them, maybe he thinks he's declining, but whatever, he 1518 01:08:11,360 --> 01:08:13,880 Speaker 4: seems very happy to be on the Mets. And I 1519 01:08:13,960 --> 01:08:16,759 Speaker 4: think that that is rare enough that I hope he stays. 1520 01:08:16,800 --> 01:08:18,280 Speaker 4: That's a completely straight faced. 1521 01:08:20,520 --> 01:08:22,240 Speaker 3: For listeners who don't know what are the Mets. 1522 01:08:22,320 --> 01:08:25,680 Speaker 1: The Mets are so they're one of the that's a 1523 01:08:25,720 --> 01:08:26,200 Speaker 1: great question. 1524 01:08:26,600 --> 01:08:29,080 Speaker 4: That's such a me thing to say. Thank you. Obviously 1525 01:08:29,120 --> 01:08:31,479 Speaker 4: you haven't been down to the Eureka level. They are 1526 01:08:31,720 --> 01:08:34,320 Speaker 4: as a it's an AI enabled. 1527 01:08:34,400 --> 01:08:38,360 Speaker 2: The mens, a private equity firm owned by a billionaire 1528 01:08:38,479 --> 01:08:42,240 Speaker 2: that ostensibly sells baseball related services. They only recently updated 1529 01:08:42,240 --> 01:08:45,839 Speaker 2: in terms of services to allow for baseball related success 1530 01:08:46,200 --> 01:08:49,599 Speaker 2: with the acquisition of a company called Kwan Soto up there. 1531 01:08:50,000 --> 01:08:52,360 Speaker 4: They're on a subscription model, like a lot of these guys, 1532 01:08:52,920 --> 01:08:55,080 Speaker 4: you got to keep paying if you want them to move. 1533 01:08:55,280 --> 01:08:56,679 Speaker 1: We're not going to talk about the Nation League East. 1534 01:08:56,920 --> 01:08:59,479 Speaker 2: Yeah, I just realized we have gone fully into the Mets, 1535 01:08:59,520 --> 01:09:01,120 Speaker 2: so we need to That was beautiful, man. I am 1536 01:09:01,160 --> 01:09:05,000 Speaker 2: so sorry, but Phil putting the fire marshal stuff aside, 1537 01:09:05,080 --> 01:09:07,519 Speaker 2: what is it with lasers and these people like, what 1538 01:09:07,680 --> 01:09:09,719 Speaker 2: is it? Why do They love to bring up lasers 1539 01:09:09,800 --> 01:09:11,360 Speaker 2: so much like, what do you think it is? 1540 01:09:11,960 --> 01:09:18,639 Speaker 5: Okay? So this would be several decades of career experience 1541 01:09:18,720 --> 01:09:21,960 Speaker 5: and just watching people and what they do. There's something 1542 01:09:22,000 --> 01:09:25,799 Speaker 5: in the human psyche that gets very excited about whatever 1543 01:09:26,000 --> 01:09:28,920 Speaker 5: thing there is in the world. What if I put 1544 01:09:28,960 --> 01:09:31,439 Speaker 5: a laser on it, right that will make it better? 1545 01:09:31,640 --> 01:09:33,880 Speaker 5: Or alternatively, this thing that already does the thing it 1546 01:09:33,920 --> 01:09:37,880 Speaker 5: normally does, would a laser make it do it better? 1547 01:09:38,760 --> 01:09:40,519 Speaker 2: So do they know what a laser is? 1548 01:09:40,760 --> 01:09:45,320 Speaker 5: Also often not great keep It is a laser light 1549 01:09:45,439 --> 01:09:47,879 Speaker 5: amplification by a simulated emission of radiation. 1550 01:09:48,720 --> 01:09:49,879 Speaker 1: I didn't know it's an acronym. 1551 01:09:50,040 --> 01:09:52,960 Speaker 2: It is I just like scuba and I didn't realize 1552 01:09:53,000 --> 01:09:54,960 Speaker 2: it was an acronym until you asked that question. Yea, 1553 01:09:55,960 --> 01:09:57,439 Speaker 2: I have an IQ of seven. 1554 01:09:58,160 --> 01:10:01,240 Speaker 5: But the the more exciting thing and the reason why 1555 01:10:01,280 --> 01:10:05,720 Speaker 5: I get excited about it and products that happen, is 1556 01:10:05,960 --> 01:10:09,120 Speaker 5: how we regulate lasers in the United States of America. 1557 01:10:09,800 --> 01:10:12,040 Speaker 5: This is your important asterisk that goes in the post 1558 01:10:12,120 --> 01:10:16,040 Speaker 5: of These rules and regulations only apply in the United 1559 01:10:16,080 --> 01:10:18,639 Speaker 5: States of America. In your jurisdiction, they may be different. 1560 01:10:21,000 --> 01:10:26,320 Speaker 5: When lasers became a thing that weren't just stuff nerds 1561 01:10:26,360 --> 01:10:31,160 Speaker 5: played with in the National Laboratory. The very first market 1562 01:10:31,280 --> 01:10:37,000 Speaker 5: they hit, the first consumer consumers, very relative product was 1563 01:10:37,080 --> 01:10:42,040 Speaker 5: for ophthalmological treatments where you're doing the laser cautery z 1564 01:10:42,080 --> 01:10:46,040 Speaker 5: apping to fix in the eye in the eye, to 1565 01:10:46,640 --> 01:10:49,880 Speaker 5: cauterize off new veins growing in the retina, to say, 1566 01:10:49,920 --> 01:10:52,200 Speaker 5: people who are losing their vision from glaucoma or other 1567 01:10:52,280 --> 01:10:58,400 Speaker 5: diabotic diabetic retinopathy. Because the first application of lasers that 1568 01:10:58,479 --> 01:11:02,880 Speaker 5: really hit the consumer market was a medical application. Is 1569 01:11:02,960 --> 01:11:06,000 Speaker 5: the reason why lasers are regulated by the Food and 1570 01:11:06,080 --> 01:11:10,360 Speaker 5: Drug Administration's Center for Device and Radiologic Health, which means 1571 01:11:10,400 --> 01:11:14,600 Speaker 5: any consumer product that incorporates a laser is supposed to 1572 01:11:14,720 --> 01:11:17,840 Speaker 5: have been vetted and compliant with the Federal Laser Product 1573 01:11:17,880 --> 01:11:23,599 Speaker 5: Performance Standard that the FDA promulgates. And they only get 1574 01:11:23,680 --> 01:11:26,200 Speaker 5: one chance to catch you is when you release your 1575 01:11:26,240 --> 01:11:31,040 Speaker 5: product into commerce, and that has a very specific regulatory meeting, 1576 01:11:31,640 --> 01:11:34,120 Speaker 5: which is, oh, God, you actually want to. 1577 01:11:34,160 --> 01:11:38,040 Speaker 4: Know, yes, well, I'm assuming for our purposes here the 1578 01:11:38,080 --> 01:11:40,519 Speaker 4: stuff that's downstairs. A lot of the places have, as 1579 01:11:40,560 --> 01:11:42,800 Speaker 4: you've pointed out, like they'll be like a little tagliner 1580 01:11:42,960 --> 01:11:44,840 Speaker 4: like this has not been shown to the FDA yet. 1581 01:11:44,960 --> 01:11:50,040 Speaker 5: Or not approved by the FDA, or is being used 1582 01:11:50,280 --> 01:11:54,400 Speaker 5: under basically the Fundsis code of the regulation, when. 1583 01:11:55,640 --> 01:11:57,200 Speaker 4: Even if you have a prototype on it, it has 1584 01:11:57,240 --> 01:11:58,360 Speaker 4: not been released into commerce. 1585 01:11:58,680 --> 01:11:59,200 Speaker 1: Is that correct? 1586 01:11:59,320 --> 01:11:59,599 Speaker 3: Correct? 1587 01:11:59,680 --> 01:12:05,519 Speaker 5: Okay, So commerce's specific meaning is you have a excuse me, 1588 01:12:05,960 --> 01:12:10,760 Speaker 5: laser product that you have made more than one of, 1589 01:12:13,080 --> 01:12:15,880 Speaker 5: and or is being used somewhere other than the place 1590 01:12:15,920 --> 01:12:21,160 Speaker 5: where it was initially built, and or by someone who 1591 01:12:21,280 --> 01:12:24,639 Speaker 5: was not the person who originally built it, which means, 1592 01:12:24,880 --> 01:12:27,200 Speaker 5: if you listen to those three statements, at no point 1593 01:12:27,280 --> 01:12:29,480 Speaker 5: does money have to exchange hands. 1594 01:12:29,720 --> 01:12:30,880 Speaker 2: So they only have to build two. 1595 01:12:31,479 --> 01:12:35,160 Speaker 5: The moment you hit two, you have made a laser product. 1596 01:12:35,040 --> 01:12:38,520 Speaker 2: Versus people reading this as commerce meaning it's on Amazon. 1597 01:12:38,320 --> 01:12:39,800 Speaker 5: Which is what most people think it means. 1598 01:12:40,000 --> 01:12:40,320 Speaker 2: Sweet. 1599 01:12:40,520 --> 01:12:42,760 Speaker 5: That's how the regulation covers it to try to cover 1600 01:12:43,320 --> 01:12:47,000 Speaker 5: tricks like people being oh, well, just you're a friend, 1601 01:12:47,200 --> 01:12:49,240 Speaker 5: I'll make you a second one of these setups, and 1602 01:12:49,320 --> 01:12:51,560 Speaker 5: I'll ship everything that I just did over to you 1603 01:12:51,720 --> 01:12:55,360 Speaker 5: at your other laboratory. You have no idea how the 1604 01:12:55,560 --> 01:12:57,920 Speaker 5: very specific quirk of I have duct tape sitting right 1605 01:12:57,960 --> 01:13:00,360 Speaker 5: here on the setup to protect that beam from going 1606 01:13:00,400 --> 01:13:03,760 Speaker 5: out that will blind me. Also, it takes so very 1607 01:13:03,920 --> 01:13:06,400 Speaker 5: little laser power to actually be blind. 1608 01:13:06,520 --> 01:13:08,920 Speaker 2: But also that feels like a valuable point to this, 1609 01:13:09,040 --> 01:13:12,479 Speaker 2: which is just because they've made too doesn't mean they've 1610 01:13:12,520 --> 01:13:15,720 Speaker 2: made two safe ones. Like if there are little workarounds, 1611 01:13:15,800 --> 01:13:18,639 Speaker 2: like when you release something under these regulations you're discussing, 1612 01:13:19,000 --> 01:13:21,400 Speaker 2: I imagine you probably want to think of a more 1613 01:13:22,479 --> 01:13:25,200 Speaker 2: rigorous housing than tape. 1614 01:13:25,479 --> 01:13:29,719 Speaker 5: Correct. That's when I mentioned the Federal Laser Project Performance 1615 01:13:29,720 --> 01:13:33,960 Speaker 5: Standard aka the FLIPS. It specifies the components that your 1616 01:13:34,040 --> 01:13:37,800 Speaker 5: laser should have to be a legal laser product that 1617 01:13:37,880 --> 01:13:41,560 Speaker 5: could be sold into commerce. Right, They're not just you 1618 01:13:41,720 --> 01:13:44,840 Speaker 5: have to be I safe levels of power, which has 1619 01:13:45,000 --> 01:13:47,640 Speaker 5: defined as less than one milliwatt per squares centimeter on 1620 01:13:47,720 --> 01:13:51,440 Speaker 5: the retina. It also has things like you have interlocks 1621 01:13:52,120 --> 01:13:54,719 Speaker 5: so that if you pop open the housing, it turns 1622 01:13:54,800 --> 01:13:56,679 Speaker 5: off or it drops a shutter. 1623 01:13:56,800 --> 01:13:58,560 Speaker 2: And these are things that people don't classically put in 1624 01:13:58,640 --> 01:14:00,200 Speaker 2: the first version not. 1625 01:14:00,280 --> 01:14:01,960 Speaker 1: Classically no good. 1626 01:14:02,439 --> 01:14:06,080 Speaker 5: Also other things like there's indicator lights, there's switches, there's 1627 01:14:06,160 --> 01:14:11,479 Speaker 5: key interlocks, all the things that sound like function buttons. Yeah, 1628 01:14:11,880 --> 01:14:15,960 Speaker 5: things that vanish from the design of products the moment 1629 01:14:16,040 --> 01:14:19,400 Speaker 5: you catch Apple disease and decide that every single product 1630 01:14:19,439 --> 01:14:22,920 Speaker 5: should be a smooth tablet of silicon that you wave 1631 01:14:23,000 --> 01:14:26,080 Speaker 5: your hands at and they do magic rather than what 1632 01:14:26,320 --> 01:14:27,439 Speaker 5: is my product doing. 1633 01:14:27,600 --> 01:14:29,679 Speaker 3: My god slash Steve jobs intended. 1634 01:14:30,080 --> 01:14:32,559 Speaker 2: So how does this manifest into problems at cees. 1635 01:14:35,160 --> 01:14:38,679 Speaker 5: Well, first you have handed products, often to sales people 1636 01:14:38,960 --> 01:14:41,160 Speaker 5: on the floor to go set up and talk about 1637 01:14:41,200 --> 01:14:41,800 Speaker 5: and try to make. 1638 01:14:41,720 --> 01:14:44,880 Speaker 4: A say well, most certainly not the engineers who built it. 1639 01:14:45,000 --> 01:14:47,000 Speaker 2: All laser safety offices correct. 1640 01:14:47,760 --> 01:14:50,679 Speaker 5: The other thing is bringing a laser onto the floor, 1641 01:14:50,800 --> 01:14:52,760 Speaker 5: and this take us back to the fire marshal chat. 1642 01:14:53,960 --> 01:14:56,280 Speaker 5: That constitutes one of the hazards you actually have to 1643 01:14:56,439 --> 01:14:59,040 Speaker 5: let the CTA know about so they can tell the 1644 01:14:59,120 --> 01:15:02,599 Speaker 5: fire marshals because that changes the occupancy of the room. Also, 1645 01:15:03,880 --> 01:15:07,719 Speaker 5: they have a safety personnel they call to come evaluate setups. 1646 01:15:08,040 --> 01:15:09,920 Speaker 5: So if you say you're bringing a laser to the floor, 1647 01:15:11,040 --> 01:15:14,200 Speaker 5: a laser safety officer will come. Oh, you should put 1648 01:15:14,200 --> 01:15:18,160 Speaker 5: an enclosure around that product you bought brought because you 1649 01:15:18,280 --> 01:15:21,160 Speaker 5: don't actually have one. Now this defeats the purpose of 1650 01:15:21,400 --> 01:15:26,360 Speaker 5: your trying to show your product. Now they can't see 1651 01:15:26,400 --> 01:15:29,160 Speaker 5: it through the enclosure that protects people from it. That 1652 01:15:29,200 --> 01:15:30,760 Speaker 5: should indicate that maybe your product. 1653 01:15:30,560 --> 01:15:31,000 Speaker 3: Is not great. 1654 01:15:31,600 --> 01:15:33,879 Speaker 2: Yeah, but I want to see the product. 1655 01:15:34,560 --> 01:15:36,439 Speaker 5: You won't see at all. 1656 01:15:37,479 --> 01:15:40,080 Speaker 4: That's disturbing. And that's where that's the hand of a 1657 01:15:40,200 --> 01:15:42,000 Speaker 4: big brother in a lot of ways, trying to keep 1658 01:15:42,040 --> 01:15:44,240 Speaker 4: you from being blinded by a laser. 1659 01:15:44,479 --> 01:15:45,040 Speaker 5: Big vision. 1660 01:15:45,840 --> 01:15:46,559 Speaker 1: You're a hotel. 1661 01:15:46,760 --> 01:15:48,120 Speaker 3: Does it move fast, blind quick? 1662 01:15:48,360 --> 01:15:49,960 Speaker 4: Yes, that's so. 1663 01:15:50,640 --> 01:15:52,880 Speaker 2: But I just want to actually, here's a really good 1664 01:15:52,920 --> 01:15:55,360 Speaker 2: thing for the listeners. What are the consequences of not 1665 01:15:55,600 --> 01:15:57,880 Speaker 2: following these things. What do these products do to you 1666 01:15:58,000 --> 01:16:01,800 Speaker 2: as a person in the event these regulations and they'll followed. 1667 01:16:04,160 --> 01:16:05,919 Speaker 5: Blinding fires? 1668 01:16:06,280 --> 01:16:07,240 Speaker 1: And is that bad? 1669 01:16:08,400 --> 01:16:08,599 Speaker 6: Yeah? 1670 01:16:09,000 --> 01:16:09,759 Speaker 5: A fair question. 1671 01:16:10,479 --> 01:16:12,000 Speaker 4: It is a good question. I'm glad that we have 1672 01:16:12,080 --> 01:16:13,880 Speaker 4: a balanced group hair. 1673 01:16:14,360 --> 01:16:18,160 Speaker 5: So just a quick rundown. If you go look at 1674 01:16:18,240 --> 01:16:21,000 Speaker 5: your product that has a laser in it, odds on 1675 01:16:21,080 --> 01:16:23,559 Speaker 5: favor you have one, it's probably a printer in your home. 1676 01:16:24,360 --> 01:16:25,439 Speaker 5: If you go look on it, there will be a 1677 01:16:25,439 --> 01:16:27,720 Speaker 5: little yellow sticker on the box. That's box that says 1678 01:16:27,800 --> 01:16:29,320 Speaker 5: Class one laser device. 1679 01:16:29,640 --> 01:16:29,800 Speaker 1: Right. 1680 01:16:30,960 --> 01:16:35,880 Speaker 5: That means it is safe for use under any viewing conditions. 1681 01:16:36,320 --> 01:16:38,519 Speaker 5: You have no access to a hazardous laser. 1682 01:16:38,920 --> 01:16:40,720 Speaker 2: You don't need eye protection or anything like that. 1683 01:16:40,720 --> 01:16:43,880 Speaker 5: You do not because the housing that's in there will 1684 01:16:43,920 --> 01:16:47,759 Speaker 5: protect you. Mind you, most laser printers are actually Class 1685 01:16:47,880 --> 01:16:50,599 Speaker 5: four lasers, which are absolutely blinding and capable of setting 1686 01:16:50,640 --> 01:16:53,519 Speaker 5: fires if you took all of the housing that makes 1687 01:16:53,560 --> 01:16:56,560 Speaker 5: the printer off of it. Okay, so there is a 1688 01:16:56,840 --> 01:16:59,559 Speaker 5: much more powerful laser that is dangerous to you hiding 1689 01:16:59,600 --> 01:17:02,880 Speaker 5: inside it it. One of the other things that happens 1690 01:17:04,240 --> 01:17:07,080 Speaker 5: at CES and other shows like Photonics West, where I 1691 01:17:07,120 --> 01:17:10,160 Speaker 5: will be in a couple of weeks is people try 1692 01:17:10,200 --> 01:17:13,680 Speaker 5: to get around some of the consumer protection standards by 1693 01:17:13,800 --> 01:17:17,760 Speaker 5: rather than selling you a finished product, they sell you 1694 01:17:18,280 --> 01:17:24,240 Speaker 5: parts as original equipment manufacturers. If you go buy OEM parts, 1695 01:17:24,760 --> 01:17:28,000 Speaker 5: which you are free to do because America, everyone salute. 1696 01:17:27,800 --> 01:17:30,920 Speaker 2: Is saluting. I'm saluting right. Thank you, Thank you everyone, 1697 01:17:31,000 --> 01:17:31,599 Speaker 2: Thank you everyone. 1698 01:17:34,960 --> 01:17:39,280 Speaker 5: If you go buy a laser OEM laser product and 1699 01:17:39,439 --> 01:17:43,360 Speaker 5: integrate it into your system because you thought this this 1700 01:17:43,439 --> 01:17:46,799 Speaker 5: stuff is great. All it needs is a laser. 1701 01:17:47,040 --> 01:17:47,280 Speaker 4: Yeah. 1702 01:17:47,600 --> 01:17:49,960 Speaker 5: The moment you add a laser to it, you just 1703 01:17:50,160 --> 01:17:55,160 Speaker 5: turned the thing you made into a laser product. A 1704 01:17:55,320 --> 01:17:59,719 Speaker 5: finished one is subject to all of those rules like enclosures, 1705 01:17:59,800 --> 01:18:05,680 Speaker 5: light housings, interlocks. You just became a laser manufacturer and 1706 01:18:05,800 --> 01:18:08,599 Speaker 5: you didn't want to be and at that point supporting 1707 01:18:08,800 --> 01:18:09,800 Speaker 5: entrepreneurs with that. 1708 01:18:10,080 --> 01:18:14,639 Speaker 4: But also I agree with Edward's question, it doesn't feel weird. 1709 01:18:14,720 --> 01:18:17,439 Speaker 4: This is like the it's like a three D printery 1710 01:18:17,640 --> 01:18:20,760 Speaker 4: type scenario where there's like it seems like the three 1711 01:18:20,840 --> 01:18:23,559 Speaker 4: D printers, but like the distance between reach and grasp 1712 01:18:23,680 --> 01:18:25,880 Speaker 4: here is like actually a matter of life and death. 1713 01:18:25,960 --> 01:18:28,920 Speaker 4: Like the idea that like I could, by doing a 1714 01:18:28,960 --> 01:18:31,360 Speaker 4: few different things that more or less involve following instructions, 1715 01:18:31,400 --> 01:18:35,120 Speaker 4: become a laser manufacturer, Like I don't even brush my 1716 01:18:35,240 --> 01:18:37,639 Speaker 4: teeth before eleven in the morning a lot of the days, 1717 01:18:37,800 --> 01:18:38,479 Speaker 4: like I shouldn't be. 1718 01:18:38,560 --> 01:18:40,680 Speaker 1: Trusted with being able to do stuff like that now. 1719 01:18:40,840 --> 01:18:43,400 Speaker 2: And that's that's actually was a very good point, which 1720 01:18:43,439 --> 01:18:45,760 Speaker 2: is what feel is describing is how easy it is 1721 01:18:45,840 --> 01:18:47,240 Speaker 2: to do this insane shit. 1722 01:18:47,680 --> 01:18:51,960 Speaker 5: Very and to bring it back to the FDA, their 1723 01:18:52,280 --> 01:18:57,080 Speaker 5: control point is releasing a product into commerce, after which 1724 01:18:57,800 --> 01:19:00,439 Speaker 5: the FDA doesn't really have control of it anymore because 1725 01:19:00,439 --> 01:19:04,240 Speaker 5: it's now in the only other thing that a laser 1726 01:19:04,360 --> 01:19:06,880 Speaker 5: manufacturer is required to do, as far as the FDA 1727 01:19:07,000 --> 01:19:11,760 Speaker 5: is concerned, is maintain a log of injuries associated with 1728 01:19:11,840 --> 01:19:12,760 Speaker 5: their product. 1729 01:19:12,920 --> 01:19:14,839 Speaker 2: And recall to do that with the podcast. 1730 01:19:15,280 --> 01:19:20,000 Speaker 5: Yeah, several listeners are to my heart were recalling bits 1731 01:19:21,640 --> 01:19:24,160 Speaker 5: recalling bit's our entire systems. 1732 01:19:24,200 --> 01:19:27,439 Speaker 3: WE and we after close examination, we've realized that bit 1733 01:19:27,600 --> 01:19:33,120 Speaker 3: number seventy six seeding about the woo problematic. 1734 01:19:32,640 --> 01:19:34,719 Speaker 1: Could cause emotion injury to listeners. 1735 01:19:35,400 --> 01:19:39,640 Speaker 2: So film on the floor over the years. What are 1736 01:19:39,680 --> 01:19:42,679 Speaker 2: the manifestations specifically of this thing? What are the things 1737 01:19:42,760 --> 01:19:45,320 Speaker 2: that you have seen and heard of that you can 1738 01:19:45,439 --> 01:19:48,360 Speaker 2: terrorize my good friends mister Roth and mister Anguso with. 1739 01:19:49,000 --> 01:19:53,559 Speaker 5: So let's go back to the laser bra Okay please, 1740 01:19:54,600 --> 01:19:58,720 Speaker 5: this was actually a club item where the idea was 1741 01:19:58,800 --> 01:20:02,840 Speaker 5: you could be your own laser light show. Not just 1742 01:20:03,400 --> 01:20:06,920 Speaker 5: you put out the laser emitting product to go with 1743 01:20:07,000 --> 01:20:09,439 Speaker 5: the music, but it will actually react to your dancing 1744 01:20:09,760 --> 01:20:13,439 Speaker 5: and will change the out the brightness changed the color 1745 01:20:13,760 --> 01:20:16,800 Speaker 5: they dances. Though, if it's an E because lasers make 1746 01:20:16,880 --> 01:20:20,160 Speaker 5: everything better. Also, LED also can stand for laser. 1747 01:20:21,880 --> 01:20:23,639 Speaker 2: They don't sense things, they do things. 1748 01:20:23,640 --> 01:20:25,600 Speaker 5: They can also emit right, But. 1749 01:20:27,080 --> 01:20:29,519 Speaker 2: Are you saying that they use lasers to emit light? 1750 01:20:30,479 --> 01:20:33,439 Speaker 5: Yes, on the fucking brock, dozens of them. 1751 01:20:33,680 --> 01:20:34,519 Speaker 4: We have lights. 1752 01:20:35,560 --> 01:20:38,080 Speaker 5: No, but they could be lasers to shine in very 1753 01:20:38,200 --> 01:20:39,760 Speaker 5: visible beams across the entire world. 1754 01:20:39,800 --> 01:20:42,240 Speaker 2: Okay, I'm not the lazy set lazy Jesus. 1755 01:20:42,200 --> 01:20:44,240 Speaker 5: Does slip of the tongue happens constantly. 1756 01:20:43,920 --> 01:20:46,280 Speaker 2: Laser safety expert here, But I think the idea of 1757 01:20:46,320 --> 01:20:49,960 Speaker 2: shooting a bunch of lasers out of one's breasts where 1758 01:20:50,000 --> 01:20:54,840 Speaker 2: people might be looking it's fun, it may be, but 1759 01:20:54,960 --> 01:20:57,200 Speaker 2: it also might fun and flirty, a great look for 1760 01:20:57,280 --> 01:21:02,559 Speaker 2: the season thirty flirty and thriving. That feels dangerous. 1761 01:21:02,880 --> 01:21:05,799 Speaker 5: You have a lot of very pain looks on your faces. 1762 01:21:05,840 --> 01:21:07,880 Speaker 2: At the very end, I feel no pain like the 1763 01:21:08,040 --> 01:21:11,640 Speaker 2: sohon it seems whether it would be worth it. 1764 01:21:12,080 --> 01:21:12,160 Speaker 4: You. 1765 01:21:14,439 --> 01:21:17,200 Speaker 1: Literally risking at all risk risking. 1766 01:21:17,840 --> 01:21:18,360 Speaker 2: To look at. 1767 01:21:21,200 --> 01:21:21,439 Speaker 4: Party? 1768 01:21:21,520 --> 01:21:22,000 Speaker 1: Could I go to? 1769 01:21:22,120 --> 01:21:23,599 Speaker 3: It'd be like that was fine? 1770 01:21:23,840 --> 01:21:25,640 Speaker 4: Yeah, I go bind it. I pretty much got what 1771 01:21:26,320 --> 01:21:28,000 Speaker 4: it's like desperate to Actually. 1772 01:21:28,040 --> 01:21:30,280 Speaker 5: There's also totally been the laser butt plug that showed 1773 01:21:30,360 --> 01:21:34,280 Speaker 5: up at but same thing dropping traun much. 1774 01:21:34,200 --> 01:21:37,879 Speaker 3: Like thefacturers actually. 1775 01:21:39,280 --> 01:21:42,080 Speaker 5: Effectively, but the one that was most relevant that actually 1776 01:21:42,120 --> 01:21:45,200 Speaker 5: did show up at ce S, and it has shown 1777 01:21:45,280 --> 01:21:48,479 Speaker 5: up dozens of times on hacker News and other interesting 1778 01:21:48,560 --> 01:21:51,800 Speaker 5: maker websites. Someone who had made a laser based bong. 1779 01:21:53,160 --> 01:21:57,000 Speaker 5: Now this is a problem because again you've taken a 1780 01:21:57,080 --> 01:22:00,759 Speaker 5: concept of a totally workable product that already exists. Bongs. 1781 01:22:01,040 --> 01:22:03,880 Speaker 5: We have known how these work for very long. 1782 01:22:03,760 --> 01:22:05,720 Speaker 2: And we have made them so that people who may 1783 01:22:05,760 --> 01:22:07,240 Speaker 2: be under the influence can offer. 1784 01:22:07,320 --> 01:22:10,400 Speaker 5: Even offer to maybe not safely with the torch, but 1785 01:22:10,560 --> 01:22:13,880 Speaker 5: you know so that certain kind of mind looks at 1786 01:22:13,920 --> 01:22:15,840 Speaker 5: and goes, man, I can make that so much better 1787 01:22:15,880 --> 01:22:20,280 Speaker 5: with a laser. And okay, the problem is lasers are 1788 01:22:20,320 --> 01:22:27,240 Speaker 5: not necessarily hot burning enough to actually properly combust your 1789 01:22:27,280 --> 01:22:34,720 Speaker 5: weed to then inhale. Incomplete combustion is a problem because okay, now, 1790 01:22:34,840 --> 01:22:37,640 Speaker 5: what did I break down on my plant material too? Oh, 1791 01:22:37,800 --> 01:22:41,960 Speaker 5: it's every organic molecule you possibly could break it down to, 1792 01:22:42,439 --> 01:22:47,400 Speaker 5: some of which are carcinogens. You would, yeah, everything, No, so. 1793 01:22:48,000 --> 01:22:51,439 Speaker 3: Your reefer becomes something even more dangerous. But you don't 1794 01:22:51,439 --> 01:22:53,280 Speaker 3: even really get the enjoyment. 1795 01:22:52,920 --> 01:22:56,760 Speaker 2: That I am genuinely asking, what is the consequences of 1796 01:22:56,920 --> 01:23:00,640 Speaker 2: the castinogens? No dumb question. You just said the word carsonogen, 1797 01:23:01,680 --> 01:23:03,080 Speaker 2: But explain please. 1798 01:23:03,280 --> 01:23:05,800 Speaker 5: Cancer causing agents thanks, some of which them are just 1799 01:23:06,439 --> 01:23:08,720 Speaker 5: straight up toxic, not just carcinogen. 1800 01:23:08,880 --> 01:23:10,920 Speaker 3: Do you not get high at least you might. 1801 01:23:11,640 --> 01:23:11,680 Speaker 2: So. 1802 01:23:11,920 --> 01:23:13,640 Speaker 4: Just to be clear, though, when you break away all 1803 01:23:13,640 --> 01:23:14,240 Speaker 4: this stuff, but. 1804 01:23:14,280 --> 01:23:18,400 Speaker 5: You're also part of the show, you are you're also 1805 01:23:18,439 --> 01:23:19,800 Speaker 5: effectively wasting weed. 1806 01:23:20,040 --> 01:23:23,960 Speaker 2: You're not completely Okay, now I'm taking this very seriously, 1807 01:23:24,720 --> 01:23:28,360 Speaker 2: not that I ever have it. But the specific thing 1808 01:23:28,360 --> 01:23:30,160 Speaker 2: I'm saying here though, is so the laser is not 1809 01:23:30,280 --> 01:23:31,880 Speaker 2: even efficient as a heating It's not. 1810 01:23:32,120 --> 01:23:34,160 Speaker 5: A good answer for it. It's just cool I use 1811 01:23:34,200 --> 01:23:34,599 Speaker 5: the laser. 1812 01:23:34,800 --> 01:23:37,519 Speaker 2: Do you not regularly burn castinogens? When you do? Like 1813 01:23:38,240 --> 01:23:41,200 Speaker 2: weed that you smoke and bongb for example, you. 1814 01:23:41,320 --> 01:23:45,559 Speaker 5: Get often get full combustion. The goal is to get. 1815 01:23:45,439 --> 01:23:47,680 Speaker 2: Full, just to get the th Does that get the 1816 01:23:47,800 --> 01:23:48,720 Speaker 2: costagens out? 1817 01:23:50,080 --> 01:23:51,559 Speaker 5: Don't make them in the first place. 1818 01:23:51,640 --> 01:23:53,800 Speaker 2: Okay, So the idea of using a laser in this 1819 01:23:53,960 --> 01:23:57,160 Speaker 2: case creates new problems that makes weed less healthy. 1820 01:23:57,280 --> 01:23:59,479 Speaker 5: Again, It's time for another brand new acronym for you, 1821 01:24:00,280 --> 01:24:06,080 Speaker 5: jacks Laser generated airborne contaminants, which is something we regulate under. 1822 01:24:07,200 --> 01:24:08,599 Speaker 2: Why do lasers create those? 1823 01:24:09,960 --> 01:24:14,400 Speaker 5: So anytime you have a laser interacting with material, they 1824 01:24:14,520 --> 01:24:17,640 Speaker 5: start burning things off of it. Sorry, if it has 1825 01:24:17,760 --> 01:24:21,000 Speaker 5: enough power to start burning things off it, it will 1826 01:24:21,040 --> 01:24:25,320 Speaker 5: make fumes, It will do micromachining of surfaces, and you 1827 01:24:25,439 --> 01:24:30,680 Speaker 5: start getting nanoscale particulates, which are very exciting, very they 1828 01:24:30,760 --> 01:24:34,600 Speaker 5: sounds cool, but no, so normally you put on a 1829 01:24:34,640 --> 01:24:37,439 Speaker 5: respirator to protect yourself from particulars when you're doing woodwork 1830 01:24:37,479 --> 01:24:41,479 Speaker 5: and savage, which you already mentioned the laser cutters and 1831 01:24:42,040 --> 01:24:46,519 Speaker 5: then burners. When you use those on your wood, rather 1832 01:24:46,560 --> 01:24:49,000 Speaker 5: than just making simple smoke or sawdust, you were making 1833 01:24:49,120 --> 01:24:53,720 Speaker 5: nanoscale particulars that go right through your respirator. And rather 1834 01:24:53,800 --> 01:24:57,080 Speaker 5: than getting stuck in your sinuses with all your mucus there, 1835 01:24:57,240 --> 01:25:00,240 Speaker 5: some may to your lungs, some make get stopp there. 1836 01:25:00,600 --> 01:25:06,240 Speaker 5: Suddenly the target organ for smoke is your liver rather 1837 01:25:06,360 --> 01:25:07,120 Speaker 5: than your lungs. 1838 01:25:07,320 --> 01:25:10,120 Speaker 2: Christ and see this is the thing, this is I'm 1839 01:25:10,160 --> 01:25:12,040 Speaker 2: so happy you put this down. It has been like 1840 01:25:12,240 --> 01:25:14,360 Speaker 2: eight years of doing this, we've never actually got you 1841 01:25:14,479 --> 01:25:16,840 Speaker 2: to run down where your actual expertise lies here. And 1842 01:25:16,880 --> 01:25:19,439 Speaker 2: it's wonderful to do. No, I fucking love it. It's wonderful. 1843 01:25:19,479 --> 01:25:22,720 Speaker 2: The show. It's been amazing. But the thing is, it's 1844 01:25:22,760 --> 01:25:25,519 Speaker 2: like a classic CS style problem where it's like, ah, 1845 01:25:25,640 --> 01:25:28,280 Speaker 2: have we got the solution to something, but you have 1846 01:25:28,400 --> 01:25:31,160 Speaker 2: so many more problems yeah, we we may have created 1847 01:25:31,200 --> 01:25:33,560 Speaker 2: some more problems, but did we create a solution? I 1848 01:25:33,640 --> 01:25:34,680 Speaker 2: don't know. Do you think we did? 1849 01:25:35,560 --> 01:25:36,160 Speaker 1: Did you come up? 1850 01:25:36,200 --> 01:25:38,600 Speaker 2: Did we? Can you tell us? If we what do 1851 01:25:38,680 --> 01:25:40,519 Speaker 2: you think? Can you buy this and then give us 1852 01:25:40,520 --> 01:25:40,920 Speaker 2: an idea? 1853 01:25:41,000 --> 01:25:41,120 Speaker 6: Right? 1854 01:25:41,160 --> 01:25:43,360 Speaker 4: That's the bit that I kept, ye because a lot 1855 01:25:43,400 --> 01:25:45,519 Speaker 4: of it is like the especially with you know, like 1856 01:25:45,640 --> 01:25:48,280 Speaker 4: the idea of a laser bomb, like this is it's 1857 01:25:48,360 --> 01:25:51,519 Speaker 4: a worse way to address a problem that has been 1858 01:25:51,600 --> 01:25:53,480 Speaker 4: pretty comprehensively. 1859 01:25:52,840 --> 01:25:54,600 Speaker 2: Solved, but it's so. 1860 01:25:56,840 --> 01:25:59,200 Speaker 4: Absolutely buy it. Yeah, that's somebody's like, well, this is 1861 01:25:59,280 --> 01:26:01,120 Speaker 4: like maybe this is cool enough that we could sell it, 1862 01:26:01,280 --> 01:26:06,000 Speaker 4: even if it's delivering like just of not even twenty 1863 01:26:06,040 --> 01:26:08,080 Speaker 4: five percent of the experience, Like you're getting all the 1864 01:26:08,120 --> 01:26:09,760 Speaker 4: carcinogens and the eggs. 1865 01:26:10,520 --> 01:26:13,120 Speaker 3: I don't know what it feels like when I was 1866 01:26:13,240 --> 01:26:15,200 Speaker 3: in high school and we were out of weed and 1867 01:26:15,320 --> 01:26:17,599 Speaker 3: our plug was out of town, and so we'd scrape 1868 01:26:17,640 --> 01:26:22,480 Speaker 3: our bulls to get to smoke out of some PVC pipe. 1869 01:26:22,280 --> 01:26:25,639 Speaker 1: You know, like, Okay, I was maxing out the dirt bag. 1870 01:26:27,240 --> 01:26:28,599 Speaker 5: I was going to say, you were in good shape 1871 01:26:28,600 --> 01:26:30,160 Speaker 5: there right up until you said PVC. 1872 01:26:30,439 --> 01:26:34,560 Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, I'm trying I'm trying to maximize the unhealthy, horrible, 1873 01:26:35,200 --> 01:26:39,080 Speaker 3: uh damaging carcinogenic And. 1874 01:26:39,120 --> 01:26:40,879 Speaker 4: There you go, you know, British culture. 1875 01:26:42,520 --> 01:26:45,240 Speaker 5: Just so to correct you though, David, it's not you 1876 01:26:45,400 --> 01:26:48,120 Speaker 5: get all of the caryscinogens that were there, it's you 1877 01:26:48,360 --> 01:26:50,400 Speaker 5: made some that weren't there in the first place. 1878 01:26:50,439 --> 01:26:53,679 Speaker 2: Yes, my bad problem for your solution. 1879 01:26:53,920 --> 01:26:55,800 Speaker 4: This is like the thing we're like, I don't I 1880 01:26:55,840 --> 01:26:57,960 Speaker 4: guess this is like not a novel observation, but they 1881 01:26:58,120 --> 01:27:04,439 Speaker 4: like the waves, which like a commercial consideration, just the 1882 01:27:04,520 --> 01:27:07,200 Speaker 4: most basic commercial consideration, like can I sell this? Can 1883 01:27:07,240 --> 01:27:09,600 Speaker 4: I make this thing and bring it to market? That 1884 01:27:09,800 --> 01:27:12,560 Speaker 4: is the highest hurdle for any of these podcasts. The 1885 01:27:12,760 --> 01:27:15,280 Speaker 4: technological stuff, the magic, the shit that you need like 1886 01:27:15,840 --> 01:27:19,080 Speaker 4: advanced degrees to be able to do doesn't often seem 1887 01:27:19,120 --> 01:27:20,840 Speaker 4: to be a problem. The bigger problem is trying to 1888 01:27:20,880 --> 01:27:23,120 Speaker 4: find some way to either invest in it or to 1889 01:27:23,160 --> 01:27:25,439 Speaker 4: find a way to sell it. And that's how you 1890 01:27:25,640 --> 01:27:27,280 Speaker 4: That's like when these things get bad and. 1891 01:27:27,280 --> 01:27:30,120 Speaker 2: Then the film destroying ones, the way they fail both yes, 1892 01:27:30,320 --> 01:27:32,439 Speaker 2: where they just like, well, do we have a product 1893 01:27:32,479 --> 01:27:35,679 Speaker 2: that people want? No? Do we have a product that works? 1894 01:27:35,920 --> 01:27:36,480 Speaker 1: Absolutely? 1895 01:27:36,760 --> 01:27:39,560 Speaker 2: However, we do have a name we have science, and 1896 01:27:39,680 --> 01:27:42,400 Speaker 2: we technically do have science. That's one thing you'll wokeness 1897 01:27:42,479 --> 01:27:45,280 Speaker 2: can take away film. They do have science, get them. 1898 01:27:45,760 --> 01:27:49,519 Speaker 2: And now the problem is do they understand the science? 1899 01:27:49,600 --> 01:27:52,680 Speaker 2: And that's the big one. And this is the thing 1900 01:27:52,800 --> 01:27:53,120 Speaker 2: I think. 1901 01:27:53,640 --> 01:27:58,240 Speaker 5: Rather they understand their specific incredibly narrow niche and have 1902 01:27:58,400 --> 01:28:01,120 Speaker 5: never picked their head up. Who look and acknowledge there 1903 01:28:01,160 --> 01:28:02,519 Speaker 5: are other humans around them? 1904 01:28:03,280 --> 01:28:05,160 Speaker 2: Why would they do that unless they can do Some 1905 01:28:05,240 --> 01:28:09,400 Speaker 2: of them are customers, Okay, consumer, Oh sorry, you were 1906 01:28:09,479 --> 01:28:13,200 Speaker 2: not there to be happy, you're there to consume. And 1907 01:28:14,400 --> 01:28:17,679 Speaker 2: this is CS baby, It's just a series of people 1908 01:28:17,760 --> 01:28:19,760 Speaker 2: from the top of the people who actually release things, 1909 01:28:19,800 --> 01:28:22,040 Speaker 2: all the way down to the people releasing the laser bump. 1910 01:28:22,520 --> 01:28:30,639 Speaker 5: The other thing for CS is sorry they move in fads. Well, 1911 01:28:30,680 --> 01:28:32,599 Speaker 5: I said, there's something in the human spirit that says 1912 01:28:32,760 --> 01:28:37,200 Speaker 5: you just got to attach lasers to things. Not according 1913 01:28:37,240 --> 01:28:39,400 Speaker 5: to the people have gone to the floor. Not this year. 1914 01:28:39,760 --> 01:28:42,640 Speaker 5: People were not excited to stable lasers onto stuff, but 1915 01:28:42,800 --> 01:28:45,519 Speaker 5: in past years absolutely it's what they took. And that's 1916 01:28:45,720 --> 01:28:48,640 Speaker 5: that first time we visited see it well together to 1917 01:28:48,680 --> 01:28:51,120 Speaker 5: see us and twenty fifteen I actually did go to 1918 01:28:51,200 --> 01:28:51,519 Speaker 5: the floor. 1919 01:28:51,800 --> 01:28:55,280 Speaker 7: Twenty eleven first time we went together year was that 1920 01:28:55,560 --> 01:28:58,240 Speaker 7: first time we went to the No, I wasn't with 1921 01:28:58,360 --> 01:29:03,360 Speaker 7: you nicely where we met in the Californian right, But I. 1922 01:29:03,360 --> 01:29:06,479 Speaker 5: Didn't get to make dj wukid you No, you left me. 1923 01:29:06,520 --> 01:29:07,559 Speaker 2: It's one of my cool friends. 1924 01:29:07,920 --> 01:29:08,240 Speaker 4: I wid. 1925 01:29:08,280 --> 01:29:09,960 Speaker 2: I mean a guyiled like a year ago. 1926 01:29:10,880 --> 01:29:15,000 Speaker 5: But the the first time we were here together and 1927 01:29:15,160 --> 01:29:17,640 Speaker 5: I went to the floor. In twenty fifteen, there was 1928 01:29:17,680 --> 01:29:21,760 Speaker 5: a whole bunch of post disaster Fukushima tech where people 1929 01:29:21,840 --> 01:29:25,080 Speaker 5: were developing so many new apps for your phone for 1930 01:29:25,400 --> 01:29:28,320 Speaker 5: integration into the radiation monitoring networks. There was no radiation 1931 01:29:28,439 --> 01:29:32,840 Speaker 5: monitoring network right into the Well we're gonna have some 1932 01:29:33,360 --> 01:29:35,960 Speaker 5: some detectors that you can log into. Really, would you 1933 01:29:36,000 --> 01:29:37,559 Speaker 5: like to buy some detectors, by the way. 1934 01:29:37,800 --> 01:29:40,320 Speaker 2: To add to the inevitable future for the full network 1935 01:29:40,360 --> 01:29:43,680 Speaker 2: that you want, of course will exist, or a detector you. 1936 01:29:43,720 --> 01:29:46,360 Speaker 5: Can plug into your phone.
