1
00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:07,240
Speaker 1: Get in touch with technology with tex Stuff from how

2
00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:14,040
Speaker 1: stuff works dot com. Stay there and welcome to tech Stuff.

3
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:17,160
Speaker 1: I'm Jonathan Strickland and I'm Lauren Boltom. And when last

4
00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:19,960
Speaker 1: we left you, James Vond was dangling over a cliff

5
00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:21,920
Speaker 1: and what could he do? But he's one of those

6
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:25,959
Speaker 1: amazing gadgets. We're doing a two part series on the

7
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:31,479
Speaker 1: amazing tech, sometimes literally incredible tech that is featured in

8
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:34,400
Speaker 1: the James Bond books and films. And I believe you

9
00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:36,520
Speaker 1: had a little bit of a kind of a historical

10
00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 1: tidbit to kind of wet our appetites before we jump

11
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:43,240
Speaker 1: into the movies again, right, yeah, yeah, okay. So supposedly

12
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:48,040
Speaker 1: John D, the sixteenth century science guy John D may

13
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:50,800
Speaker 1: have been the first double O seven to perform espionage

14
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 1: in the Royal Service. He served as an advisor to

15
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 1: the Queen and reportedly signed his messages with two zero's

16
00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:59,280
Speaker 1: symbolizing his job as the Queen's eyes um, followed by

17
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 1: a seven with the top drawn out over the zeros

18
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 1: that the number seven reportedly having some kind of occult

19
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 1: meaning to d Um. So his code name, if you will,

20
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:11,480
Speaker 1: was double O seven Yeah, and that you can uh

21
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 1: find and we actually have an article all about James

22
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 1: Bond at How Stuff Works. You can learn more about

23
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:19,560
Speaker 1: the background and the supposed mythology behind it. By the way,

24
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 1: I've got another trivia tidbit about Dr John D. Yeah,

25
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 1: did you know that? According to HP Lovecraft, Dr John

26
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:29,200
Speaker 1: D was the man responsible for translating the Necronomicon into English,

27
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:33,480
Speaker 1: although that translation was never found I did not. Okay,

28
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:36,399
Speaker 1: so let's jump into the James Bond series. Now, when

29
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:38,680
Speaker 1: we last we left off, we had worked our way

30
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 1: up to Moonraker, the nineteen seventy nine film, and yes

31
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 1: we are in the middle of Roger Moore's um the

32
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 1: best James Bond ever. As I mentioned in the last one,

33
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 1: George lazenby close second Roger Moore. Man, you can I

34
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:56,559
Speaker 1: could just hear the frustrated squeals of of James Bond

35
00:01:56,600 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 1: fans everywhere. Third placed Timothy Dalton, just just trying not

36
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 1: to kill you with their minds. Oh it's fine, it's fine.

37
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, So Moonraker head, this was the era where

38
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 1: the Roger Moore era, where the gadgets really started going. Yeah.

39
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 1: We keep in mind Lauren and I met before we

40
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:20,240
Speaker 1: came in to record this where we cut a bunch

41
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:22,680
Speaker 1: of gadgets because we just for time, there's just too many.

42
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 1: And in this particular era alone, I think like sixty

43
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:30,239
Speaker 1: of our cuts came from these, right. So starting off,

44
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:33,359
Speaker 1: we have a wrist dart gun with poison tipped darts

45
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 1: are also armor piercing darts, so he had two different types.

46
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 1: And there are lots of electronic dart guns that have

47
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 1: been created over the pasta including a well, there's one

48
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 1: that was not even this was an electric It was

49
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 1: actually a bullet one. It was a gun gun. There

50
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:52,959
Speaker 1: was a glove mounted gun, so the barrel of the

51
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 1: gun was actually on the palm side, and it was

52
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 1: designed so that when you would make a fist and

53
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:01,359
Speaker 1: punch something, the gun in which the barrel would hopefully

54
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:04,639
Speaker 1: clear your knuckles, would fire off. And the idea being

55
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 1: that it was developed in World War two by the

56
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 1: OSS and the idea is that you know, if you

57
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 1: were to create this sort of thing and show a

58
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 1: person punching someone else and the other person dies as

59
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 1: a result of being punched, it would scare the heck

60
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 1: out of your enemies, like, wow, they are so strong.

61
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 1: But here's the thing. Didn't work so well, so hardly

62
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 1: anyone ever fired one of these things. There are some

63
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 1: interesting pictures online of the various gun gloves. Uh So

64
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 1: there have been people who have tried to make this

65
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 1: kind of technology work, but no one's really done it

66
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 1: in such a way that it was ever practical. So

67
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 1: risk dart gun not necessarily practical. There's probably other ways

68
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 1: you could, you know, starts out other kind of impractical thing.

69
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 1: A cigarette case with an X ray safe cracking device. Yeah,

70
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 1: I'm not sure how you would fit X ray scanning

71
00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 1: technology into the form factor of a cigarette. Sounds impossible.

72
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 1: It sounds pretty hard to me. Yeah, also had a wristwatch.

73
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 1: There are a lot of wristwatches in James Bond. That's

74
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 1: one of the things that we ended up cutting some

75
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 1: of them because there's so many. They were like, yeah,

76
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 1: we we've already. But anyway, this particular wristwatch had a

77
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 1: detonator refused and an explosive charge built into it, which, again,

78
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:21,840
Speaker 1: that's a lot of stuff to pack into a tiny

79
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:26,359
Speaker 1: form factor. Now I can totally understand a detonator in

80
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 1: a watch. A transmitter, that's something that I could, you know,

81
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 1: especially once you get into the transistor era, and we're

82
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 1: well into it now in nine. Transistors are definitely a

83
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 1: thing when you get into that miniaturization where you press

84
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 1: a button and it sends out a radio signal. I

85
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 1: totally get that. But being able to build in all

86
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 1: this other stuff so that it can contain everything is

87
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 1: a little on the science fiction side. Yeah, that's that's

88
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 1: dicey in terms of physics. There was also something showing

89
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 1: off in Queues laboratory that disturbed me. Are you are

90
00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 1: you talking about the Mexican machine gun? Yeah, Mexican machine gun.

91
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 1: And so this is problematic so that while showing what

92
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:08,279
Speaker 1: you know, a lot of the scenes show Q walking

93
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 1: through the laboratory and some outlandishly ridiculous gadget is going

94
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 1: off in the background. Yeah, just completely without comment, just

95
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:18,359
Speaker 1: that's just happening. Occasionally they might stop and oh have

96
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:20,920
Speaker 1: you seen this double O seven? It's a Mexican machine

97
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:23,280
Speaker 1: gun and it looks like a well, it looks like

98
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:27,480
Speaker 1: a mannequin. It is a mannequin of a person wearing

99
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:30,240
Speaker 1: like a sombrero and taking a CS to like like

100
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:33,599
Speaker 1: a troubling lye racist mannequin. Yeah, and then the chest

101
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 1: opens up, revealing a machine gun that fires off, So yeah,

102
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 1: that was a little problematic. And then there, of course,

103
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:44,359
Speaker 1: is the character of Holly Goodhead, who had lots of

104
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 1: gadget She was a CIA agent in Moonraker, and she

105
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 1: had her own weapons, which included a pen, a notebook,

106
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:56,159
Speaker 1: and perfume. It was a poison pen, it was it

107
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 1: was a dart shooting note back all women, it was flamethrower.

108
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 1: Every I'm sure you have some at your desk. It's

109
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 1: probably pink too, because we all know what ladies like, right, Yeah. No,

110
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 1: the the to be fair, the James Bond franchise has

111
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:14,040
Speaker 1: never been accused of being forward thinking as far as

112
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 1: women are concerned. Yeah, that's that's or or race when

113
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:21,160
Speaker 1: it comes to that. Yes, no, there's some terrible examples,

114
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:23,720
Speaker 1: but we're what of course, we're constantly on the gadgets,

115
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 1: not the not the social commentary. So moving up to nine,

116
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 1: we're still with Roger Moore. Still yeah, for your eyes only, Yeah, no,

117
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:33,160
Speaker 1: it was not just for my eyes, Lauren, it was

118
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:35,359
Speaker 1: for the world's eyes. Oh, you're talking about the title

119
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 1: of the movie. Okay, yes, for your eyes. On the yes, um,

120
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 1: they introduced a computer like device called the ideograph in

121
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 1: this which was interesting. The idea was that you could

122
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 1: create a composite picture of a person by adding or

123
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 1: removing distinguishing features on a computer. Yeah, so it's kind

124
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 1: of like, no, the nose is bigger, No, no, the

125
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:56,840
Speaker 1: eyes are wider. Set that kind of thing, which is

126
00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 1: totally something we can do now. Yeah. Yeah, facial composition

127
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 1: techniques have been in use for for decades and decades

128
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 1: at this point, but um, I don't think that we

129
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:06,800
Speaker 1: got a digital version until the late nineteen eighties. So

130
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 1: this is kind of again another sort of predictive technology,

131
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 1: but it's certainly something that has been used since. And

132
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 1: we still have you know, uh like a sketch artists

133
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 1: who work with police departments too. But now there are

134
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 1: also these technologies that let people uh kind of mix

135
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 1: and match basic features where you get a general idea

136
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:28,880
Speaker 1: of what someone might look like based upon a description. Yeah,

137
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 1: it's it's great, uh, great artistic technology. Um. Also in

138
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 1: this film, we had an update to the communications first watch.

139
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 1: I think last we had kind of a ticker tape

140
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 1: sort of thing going on, um, and this one could

141
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 1: receive digital messages and be used like a walkie talkie,

142
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 1: which is fantastic because it meant that Roger Moore could

143
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 1: clear out all that extra space and his hollow arm

144
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:53,239
Speaker 1: for the battery that would be necessary to run this device. Um,

145
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 1: you know, for those who don't get that joke, you

146
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 1: need to listen to the other podcast, the other episode.

147
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:01,400
Speaker 1: Of course, these days that's totally a thing that we

148
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 1: have in pockets all the time. But but yes, at

149
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 1: the time, it was still a little bit forward thinking.

150
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 1: We wouldn't start to get wrist watches with that kind

151
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:12,680
Speaker 1: of capacity until the late eighties at the very earliest.

152
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 1: And of course we you know, we've talked all about

153
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 1: smart watches in previous episodes, including the most famous one,

154
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:22,040
Speaker 1: the Dick Tracy wrist radio, and there have been lots

155
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 1: of people who have created various kinds of of watches

156
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 1: that were also communicators. But now we're finally getting into

157
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 1: the era where they aren't super bulky or have you know,

158
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:35,040
Speaker 1: no battery life whatsoever. So definitely a little ahead of

159
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 1: its time there, but supposed to be. Moving on to

160
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:42,080
Speaker 1: the next Roger Moore film, nineteen eight three's Octopusy, which

161
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:46,080
Speaker 1: I saw in a drive in movie theater. I remember

162
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 1: distinctly going to see this movie and thinking, even as

163
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 1: a kid in three same year that Return of the

164
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:57,960
Speaker 1: Jedi came out, even as a kid, thinking this is silly.

165
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:00,719
Speaker 1: It's this I would I would argue that Octopus E

166
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:03,559
Speaker 1: is the silliest of the James Bond. It certainly had

167
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:08,640
Speaker 1: some of the silliest examples of technology and and uh camouflage,

168
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 1: with the possible exception of a car that we'll talk

169
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 1: about towards the end of this episode. But for one thing,

170
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:17,680
Speaker 1: they had the wristwatch and pen combo that this part

171
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:20,080
Speaker 1: wasn't so silly. The idea was that the pen had

172
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 1: surveillance technology like a microphone in it that you would

173
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 1: surreptitiously leave someplace and then you could pick up the

174
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 1: transmission on the wristwatch and listen in on what was

175
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 1: going on. Not that crazy an idea actually, so I

176
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:35,560
Speaker 1: kind of get that one. Uh. Also, the pen had

177
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:38,440
Speaker 1: some nitric and hydrochloric acid in it that could clearly

178
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:40,720
Speaker 1: dissolve stuff, because occasionally have to dissolve a bad guy's

179
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:42,679
Speaker 1: face and you might not have the ark of the

180
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:46,000
Speaker 1: Covenant in your youth. Uh. So then there was a

181
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 1: weapon that one of the nameless henchman in this movie

182
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:54,480
Speaker 1: used there was a buzz saw slash yo yo type thing. Yeah, well,

183
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:55,960
Speaker 1: I mean it was. I don't think that it was

184
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:59,040
Speaker 1: intended to be a yo yo. I think it was

185
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 1: purely for weapon purposes. I don't think that the bad

186
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 1: guy was trying to trick anyone with it. It wasn't

187
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 1: trying to walk the dog or but it wasn't. I mean,

188
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 1: it was a buzz saw that had yo yo functionality. Yeah,

189
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:12,600
Speaker 1: so the they thought ahead a little bit. So the

190
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 1: there was like a handpiece this guy wore where he

191
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:18,520
Speaker 1: could hold the blade like a saw blade, you know,

192
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:21,720
Speaker 1: and like a saw blade that's on a cable. But uh,

193
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:23,600
Speaker 1: and he was the guy who was using it was

194
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 1: mostly using it from above. He was on a level

195
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 1: higher up than where James Bond was. He could kind

196
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 1: of throw it down and have it come back into

197
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 1: your hands, right and it would spin on the end

198
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 1: of its ropes, sort of like a yo yo would

199
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 1: if you if you did have a sleep just you

200
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:43,679
Speaker 1: know it's it's called sleeping. But it could cut through

201
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 1: like all this stuff, Like it cuts through a table

202
00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 1: that's got like a big fruit plate on it, because

203
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:51,600
Speaker 1: you know, that's visually interesting Um, And truth is, unless

204
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:53,800
Speaker 1: there was a motor that was turning that saw blade,

205
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 1: that just wouldn't work because as soon as it made

206
00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 1: contact with something solid, it would start to lose velocity.

207
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 1: So it might it might embed in something. Sure, you

208
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 1: could probably get it to injure a person, pretty sure,

209
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 1: pretty well, sure, I just wouldn't continue to cut. It

210
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:09,640
Speaker 1: wouldn't continue to rotate and cut, so that's not realistic.

211
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 1: In fact, a larger version of this sort of thing

212
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:15,080
Speaker 1: was used in a later James Bond film, but on

213
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 1: an industrial level, where it was supposed to be something

214
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:20,480
Speaker 1: meant to cut down trees and ends up cutting James

215
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:25,280
Speaker 1: Bond's car in half. Unlikely. Yeah, Um, something that was

216
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:28,559
Speaker 1: more likely was a TV watch. Um, but Bond had

217
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:31,440
Speaker 1: a had a color TV display embedded in in an

218
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:34,440
Speaker 1: in a wrist watch. Um, have you seen any pictures

219
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 1: of this thing? I'll tell you what. All the pictures

220
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:40,880
Speaker 1: online of this thing. The still image that they picked,

221
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:46,360
Speaker 1: which which one woman's cleavage shocking. I'm shocked every single one.

222
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 1: By the way, if you're going out there rushing to

223
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:51,679
Speaker 1: look at Google image starch right now after I said that,

224
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:54,360
Speaker 1: for shame, but I was just it was one of

225
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:55,960
Speaker 1: those things where I was looking at pictures of these

226
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,560
Speaker 1: different gadgets because some of them I was unfamiliar with.

227
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:00,280
Speaker 1: I haven't seen all the Bond film, so it's like

228
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:02,560
Speaker 1: I need to see a picture of this, or perhaps

229
00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 1: it's been a while in many cases, right right, And

230
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:06,680
Speaker 1: and like I have no memory of this TV watch,

231
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 1: even though I remember watching octopusy and uh, and so

232
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:12,200
Speaker 1: I looked it up and was like, oh really at

233
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 1: Sako had actually come out with a two color TV

234
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 1: watch the previous year, so so that was totally legit. Almost. Yeah,

235
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:21,680
Speaker 1: there's a little bit smaller than what you would expect

236
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 1: in it had a little bit color, the color was better,

237
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 1: but but it was still online with the sort of

238
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 1: stuff that was coming out, you know, and you expect

239
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:31,920
Speaker 1: that whatever James Bond has is bleeding edge technology. Yes,

240
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:35,960
Speaker 1: other bleeding edge technology. And my two favorite from this film,

241
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:39,120
Speaker 1: which are probably my two favorite of any James Bond

242
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 1: film ever in terms of pure ridiculous factor. Yeah, we've

243
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:45,319
Speaker 1: got we've got the fake horse. Yeah, there's a horse

244
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:48,000
Speaker 1: trailer with a fake horse, and the back end of

245
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 1: the fake horse lifts up and James Bond pulls out

246
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 1: a miniature aircraft that was hidden inside the horse and

247
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 1: horse trailer. So you've got this camouflaged trailer like it

248
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:01,199
Speaker 1: could have just been a tailor. Why did they have

249
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:02,960
Speaker 1: to be a horse trailer with a fake horse and

250
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:09,200
Speaker 1: it that's hiding a gyrocopter. That's a question for the ages, Jonathan,

251
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 1: and I'm not answer. I would say that this is

252
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:14,120
Speaker 1: the dumbest thing that happens in Octopus E except for

253
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 1: one other thing, except for the fact that there's a

254
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 1: crocodile shaped motor boat. Yeah, there's a crocodile shaped It's

255
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 1: it's incredible to me that that multiple people in a

256
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 1: movie studio said this is a great plan. Let us

257
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 1: enact it. This is and this continues to be terrific.

258
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:32,400
Speaker 1: Let us go ahead with it. Not that's not only that,

259
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:36,920
Speaker 1: but someone paid for that crocodile shaped motor boat. Prop

260
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:40,320
Speaker 1: paid a lot. There might have been multiple ones that

261
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 1: they had to decide which one of these is the

262
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:47,520
Speaker 1: best crocodile shaped boat prop. Oh man, So let's move on.

263
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:51,040
Speaker 1: Things do improve in a way. We we get never

264
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:54,920
Speaker 1: say Never again in three with a return of Sean Connery.

265
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:58,079
Speaker 1: Now this was a film that was not made by

266
00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:00,280
Speaker 1: the same studio that was making all the other James

267
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:03,320
Speaker 1: Bond films. So some people don't include it, some people do.

268
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:07,480
Speaker 1: We're including it because why not. It's actually kind of

269
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:10,720
Speaker 1: a based on the same story as a Thunderball was.

270
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:13,960
Speaker 1: So if you remember in our last episode, Connery was

271
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 1: in Thunderball too, So essentially he's he's making two a

272
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 1: remake of his own movie in a way. So in

273
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 1: this one, he had a pen that had an explosive

274
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 1: charge in it that was meant to fire a projectile,

275
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 1: which you could do. And we talked about the lipstick

276
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:32,440
Speaker 1: and cigarette uh one shot pistols in the past. Obviously

277
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:34,240
Speaker 1: you couldn't make it be a pen pen like it

278
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 1: couldn't be made of the same stuff as your regular pen,

279
00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:40,120
Speaker 1: because that wouldn't hold up under the stress of your Yeah,

280
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 1: that would be bad. That's what we call a bad result.

281
00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:46,400
Speaker 1: But technically it is possible. Uh. And another I thought

282
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:48,880
Speaker 1: I'd pull up another kind of funky spy gun. I

283
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:51,080
Speaker 1: like to bring up real life examples whenever we talk

284
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:55,160
Speaker 1: about these fictional ones. There actually was this cell phone

285
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:58,280
Speaker 1: um that what looks like it dates from the early nineties.

286
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:01,320
Speaker 1: It's a big, clunky candy ball our style cell phone.

287
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:05,120
Speaker 1: All right, but if you were to uh to bisect

288
00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:07,640
Speaker 1: it so that the top half comes away from the

289
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:10,640
Speaker 1: bottom half, you would see that there are four bullets

290
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:12,640
Speaker 1: that can be in this thing, and it can actually

291
00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:14,800
Speaker 1: fire bullets. When you put in a four digit code

292
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:18,120
Speaker 1: in the cell phone, it fires off a bullet. Yeah. So, um,

293
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:19,960
Speaker 1: one of these was actually found in the wild. I

294
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:22,360
Speaker 1: want to say it was in the UK. Uh. So

295
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:24,480
Speaker 1: it's kind of a kind of crazy that these things

296
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:27,520
Speaker 1: actually do exist to some extent, although I doubt that

297
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:29,880
Speaker 1: they are, you know, in wide use. It's probably one

298
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:32,600
Speaker 1: of those things that you know, when all else fails,

299
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 1: that's something that you might rely upon that may or

300
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:36,840
Speaker 1: may not get you out of a tricky situation, unless

301
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:39,720
Speaker 1: you're James Bond, in which case it always does, right

302
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:43,240
Speaker 1: because it's because it's a plot gadget. Yeah. Um uh.

303
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:47,040
Speaker 1: That film also had I think the first example of

304
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:50,120
Speaker 1: a watch with a laser beam cutting tool, yeah, which

305
00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 1: again not realistic because you would need a lot of

306
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:57,360
Speaker 1: power to be able to create a laser of significant

307
00:15:57,360 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 1: intensity for you to cut through anything. Now we could

308
00:15:59,880 --> 00:16:03,400
Speaker 1: have laser pointers Shara watches. In fact, I'm sure there's

309
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 1: some watches out there that do. But for something that

310
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:10,080
Speaker 1: could actually cut you would need a pretty significant power

311
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:12,040
Speaker 1: and that's not something that you could fit in a

312
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 1: wrist watch form factor moving on too, of you to

313
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:18,640
Speaker 1: a kill. We'll guess who's back with us, Roger Moore it.

314
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 1: So here's an interesting piece of technology that that you

315
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:27,640
Speaker 1: found an example of, at least a concept that's similar

316
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:30,000
Speaker 1: to it. One of the things James Bond has is

317
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:33,000
Speaker 1: a ring that hides a camera in it. Now, this

318
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:37,280
Speaker 1: is also, especially in five when you're talking about film cameras,

319
00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:39,480
Speaker 1: really hard to do because how do you how do

320
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:43,760
Speaker 1: you miniaturize all that stuff so it fits into a ring? Um.

321
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:45,920
Speaker 1: But on top of that, you know, now even with

322
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:48,640
Speaker 1: a digital one, it would still be tricky because again

323
00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:50,280
Speaker 1: you have to worry about power, like where does the

324
00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:53,720
Speaker 1: power come from? Right? News broken late that a design

325
00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:56,320
Speaker 1: studio is working on a digital camera in a in

326
00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:58,560
Speaker 1: a ring thing like this. Uh they're they're calling it

327
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:02,480
Speaker 1: the camera in yeah. Um. But as of right now,

328
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:05,600
Speaker 1: I haven't heard any further development about everything I looked into.

329
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:08,760
Speaker 1: Look like it was a concept, not even beyond a

330
00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:11,639
Speaker 1: concept at this point, So we may never see a

331
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:14,560
Speaker 1: real one now. The pictures, the concept drawings make it

332
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:16,840
Speaker 1: look super cool and I totally want one. Yeah, And

333
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:19,479
Speaker 1: in fact, lots of people on on like Pinterest and

334
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:21,879
Speaker 1: Fancy in places like that have been like this, this

335
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:25,200
Speaker 1: thing is terrific. U. But yeah, there's no Yeah, the

336
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:27,920
Speaker 1: drawing is terrific. It's amazing what people can draw, isn't it.

337
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:30,640
Speaker 1: If only that thing can come real again, I don't

338
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:32,200
Speaker 1: know how you get around the power thing. You get

339
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:34,160
Speaker 1: to have a small battery in it, but it would

340
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 1: drain that pretty quickly, I would imagine. Anyway. They also

341
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 1: had an electric shaver that was actually hiding eaves dropping technology,

342
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:47,800
Speaker 1: which again uh and um. And then that that iceberg

343
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:50,600
Speaker 1: boat submarine. It all depends on who you ask, whether

344
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:53,600
Speaker 1: as a boat or a submarine, but disguised as an iceberg,

345
00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:58,359
Speaker 1: it's better than a crocodile. However, this particular iceberg boat also,

346
00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:03,520
Speaker 1: as I recall, had a didn't and champagne. I I that,

347
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:07,160
Speaker 1: you know, iceberg shaped some mercibles is where I keep

348
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:09,560
Speaker 1: all of my luxury items, So I'm not sure why

349
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:11,800
Speaker 1: you're questioning this. This is one of those issues that

350
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:13,800
Speaker 1: I have with James Bond. Is just not only that

351
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 1: he's a spy that draws unwanted attention to himself wherever

352
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:21,400
Speaker 1: he goes, but he's also like living this insane, lavish

353
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:26,240
Speaker 1: lifestyle that that nobody does except for maybe Elon Musk.

354
00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:28,560
Speaker 1: Maybe that's why he bought that Submercibiles. He's trying to

355
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 1: become James Bond. Um. You know. Anyway, I just thought

356
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:34,679
Speaker 1: it was weird. So now we're moving on to the

357
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:41,119
Speaker 1: Living Daylights, where we get a brand new Bond. Timothy Dalton, Yeah,

358
00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:43,440
Speaker 1: this is Timothy Dalton was not one of the more

359
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:47,080
Speaker 1: lauded James Bond's less than popular at least, I think

360
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:51,359
Speaker 1: Roger Moore people have a kind of fondness or campiness.

361
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:55,760
Speaker 1: Timothy Dalton. Well, it's not entirely his fault that Timothy

362
00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:58,719
Speaker 1: Dalton movies were a little dour, you know, they weren't.

363
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:01,240
Speaker 1: They were. It's seemed like a lot of fun was

364
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:03,480
Speaker 1: missing from some of those, Timothy Dalton, and they they were,

365
00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:05,720
Speaker 1: they were a little bit humor less, right. So the

366
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:09,000
Speaker 1: Living Daylights, let's talk about some of the gadgets and that. Yeah,

367
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:13,080
Speaker 1: let's see, we had a a key chain that included

368
00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:16,720
Speaker 1: knockout gas to be released if you whistled the correct notes,

369
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:21,200
Speaker 1: which was Rule Britannia for James Bond. Presumably each double

370
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:25,160
Speaker 1: O agent would have a different whistle que, so Rule

371
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:27,280
Speaker 1: Britanny so do do do Do Do Do Do Do

372
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:30,800
Speaker 1: would release knockout gas, but it also could explode if

373
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:33,560
Speaker 1: you used a different kind of whistle for for for James,

374
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:36,760
Speaker 1: they used a wolf whistle, which Q of course comments

375
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:40,440
Speaker 1: upon as you would expect, and it was totally appropriate

376
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:44,199
Speaker 1: for Mr misogyny James Bond. Also contained inside this key

377
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:46,720
Speaker 1: chain was a lock pick capable of opening up like

378
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:51,320
Speaker 1: of the world's locks, according to Q, which is amazing. Um,

379
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:54,119
Speaker 1: I'm not sure that any keychain could contain all of

380
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:56,600
Speaker 1: these things and still be a key chain and not

381
00:19:57,080 --> 00:20:02,240
Speaker 1: like a kit. Seems unlikely. Yes, that that's again one

382
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:04,960
Speaker 1: of those physics issues. How do you pack? How do

383
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:07,600
Speaker 1: you make enough room for enough knockout gas to be

384
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 1: effective for anything, or enough explosive charge to be dangerous,

385
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:16,639
Speaker 1: and have the enough room for the lock picks as well?

386
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:18,960
Speaker 1: All three of those things into something that tiny would

387
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:21,080
Speaker 1: be really hard to do. Also, how can you make

388
00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:23,639
Speaker 1: sure that when one goes off, like when the gas

389
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:27,160
Speaker 1: is released, it doesn't accidentally also make it explode, because

390
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:29,720
Speaker 1: knockout gas is great if you don't want to hurt people.

391
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:31,560
Speaker 1: But if you do knock out gas and then immediately

392
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:35,040
Speaker 1: the key chain explodes, yeah, that's not good. Yeah. I

393
00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:37,879
Speaker 1: would assume that whatever release mechanism would would be I

394
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:41,280
Speaker 1: don't know, yeah, at any rate. Um. Then then there

395
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:45,359
Speaker 1: was a boom box, Yes, the Ghetto Blast. As Q

396
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:48,159
Speaker 1: would say, it was meant for agents who were operating

397
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:50,840
Speaker 1: in the United States because, as we all know, by

398
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:55,919
Speaker 1: seven we all were walking around with four foot long

399
00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:59,639
Speaker 1: radios perched on our shoulders. Well, it's the only thing

400
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:03,639
Speaker 1: that Matt with hammer pants were until we were mostly

401
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:06,879
Speaker 1: looking for for sheets of cardboard upon which we would

402
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:10,439
Speaker 1: bust some moves. I would encourage you to watch the

403
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:15,480
Speaker 1: documentary Break into Electric Boogaloo to learn more. So anyway,

404
00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:19,600
Speaker 1: the Ghetto Blaster was a rocket launcher that was disguised

405
00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:23,080
Speaker 1: to be a boom box, the heaviest boom box ever

406
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:26,040
Speaker 1: you would imagine for it to be an effective rocket launcher,

407
00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:29,320
Speaker 1: it would probably be pretty weighty. To be fair, boom

408
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:31,800
Speaker 1: boxes were already pretty heavy back in those days, but

409
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:35,240
Speaker 1: this would be even heavier. However, dalton Is Bond did

410
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:39,440
Speaker 1: get a new Aston Martin. Yes, the v A Vantage Volante,

411
00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:46,840
Speaker 1: which had hubcap lasers, retractable ski retractable spikes, also a

412
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:49,479
Speaker 1: missile launcher and a rocket that would make it go.

413
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:52,919
Speaker 1: As I put in the notes, wicked Fast also had

414
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:55,720
Speaker 1: a self destruct system, which most of the Aston Martins

415
00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:58,120
Speaker 1: after this point did too. That's one of those things

416
00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:02,160
Speaker 1: come standing self destruction, you know. Not the Bond ever

417
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:04,960
Speaker 1: needed the self destruct system. Yeah. No, he was usually

418
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:06,800
Speaker 1: pretty good at wrecking those all on his own, to

419
00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:08,720
Speaker 1: be fair. To be fair, I think one of his

420
00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:12,440
Speaker 1: vehicles did did a self destruct when someone tried to

421
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:14,959
Speaker 1: break into it, and it was part of the anti

422
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:19,320
Speaker 1: theft device. It's a very effective one car alarm. No,

423
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:22,800
Speaker 1: that's great much. That's much less annoying than because because

424
00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:25,240
Speaker 1: it's over in a moment, it doesn't go on all

425
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:29,159
Speaker 1: morning long. Moving on to our next film, License to

426
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 1: Kill From I remember this one too. Uh So, this

427
00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:38,280
Speaker 1: one had a plastic explosives in the form of toothpaste

428
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:42,760
Speaker 1: called Dentonite. Yeah, and I had a pack of cigarettes

429
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:46,600
Speaker 1: that were used as the detonator, so you would squeeze

430
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:50,439
Speaker 1: out the plastic. The plastic and then use the the

431
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 1: cigarettes and planted in it to be the blasting caps.

432
00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 1: So I they don't actually say what type of plastic

433
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:59,399
Speaker 1: explosives they're using. I assume it was something similar to

434
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:02,680
Speaker 1: pef or, which is what the Brits use. In the US,

435
00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:06,439
Speaker 1: we use something very similar called C four. I say we,

436
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:10,560
Speaker 1: I just mean the the entities that have access to

437
00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:13,720
Speaker 1: these things personally, I don't use either. They don't give

438
00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:18,000
Speaker 1: you four not anymore. So, um, yeah, these things require

439
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:21,920
Speaker 1: blasting caps. They actually can withstand impact pretty well. They

440
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:25,720
Speaker 1: can they can withstand heat pretty well, unless it's super

441
00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:29,239
Speaker 1: intense explosive heat that releases very quickly, which is why

442
00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:32,439
Speaker 1: you need the blasting caps. So um, it's another one

443
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:34,120
Speaker 1: of those things where you'd have to have a very

444
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:38,879
Speaker 1: effective blasting cap technology to make this plastic explosive stuff

445
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:42,119
Speaker 1: ignite and and explode. So it's not like it's impossible,

446
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:43,879
Speaker 1: it would just be really tricky to do in that

447
00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:46,800
Speaker 1: particular form factor. And then we had a few We

448
00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:49,840
Speaker 1: had some camera technology in this one. Um that there

449
00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:54,359
Speaker 1: was some kind of weird sniper camera gun thing, a

450
00:23:54,480 --> 00:24:00,440
Speaker 1: sniper rifle disguised as a camera. But it's like a Decepticon. Yeah, uh,

451
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:03,320
Speaker 1: snipers and disguise, yes, um, we also had it. We

452
00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:09,320
Speaker 1: also had a polaroid camera that had definitely lasers. Well,

453
00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:12,840
Speaker 1: the lasers were meant to somehow create an X ray

454
00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:15,000
Speaker 1: version of whatever it was you were taking a picture of.

455
00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:18,080
Speaker 1: So if I had this polaroid and you were wearing

456
00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:22,560
Speaker 1: a trench coat and you were laden down with various weaponry, which, guys,

457
00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:25,320
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you, Lauren holds her weapons all in

458
00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:27,520
Speaker 1: the open, so it's not like she would be concealing

459
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:29,800
Speaker 1: them because she doesn't feel the need to do that.

460
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:32,439
Speaker 1: But if she did, I prefer that the nine ft

461
00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:35,840
Speaker 1: long anime sword right personally, right, it's it's it's very

462
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:38,479
Speaker 1: comical to watch Lauren keep on bumping into door frames.

463
00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:40,880
Speaker 1: But no, let's say that I wanted to check out

464
00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:42,959
Speaker 1: and see if Lauren was in fact carrying, you know,

465
00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:46,040
Speaker 1: an arsenal underneath that trench coat. Take a photo of

466
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:48,840
Speaker 1: this polaroid and it had this little red laser flash

467
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:50,840
Speaker 1: that came out of the flash instead of a regular

468
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:54,199
Speaker 1: camera flash, and the polaroid would come out with the

469
00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:58,199
Speaker 1: X ray version of whatever that picture is. Um, again,

470
00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:02,480
Speaker 1: not really a thing. Uh, you know, using X rays

471
00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:06,280
Speaker 1: would be dangerous. Using that camera would be really dangerous

472
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:09,760
Speaker 1: on any extended So the lasers would be deadly. Yeah,

473
00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:11,800
Speaker 1: and just it would just mean that you would be

474
00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:14,160
Speaker 1: deadly in the sense that you would eventually probably contract

475
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:16,879
Speaker 1: contract cancer as opposed to get burned by a laser.

476
00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:19,119
Speaker 1: But yeah, it wasn't meant to be a weapon. It

477
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:21,960
Speaker 1: was meant to try and detect, you know, people smuggling

478
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:24,399
Speaker 1: in guns into places where you don't want them to

479
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:26,720
Speaker 1: have them. We got a lot more to talk about,

480
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 1: but before we do that, let's take a quick break

481
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:32,760
Speaker 1: to thank our sponsor and up. Okay, in our last

482
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:36,000
Speaker 1: James Bond film, we had Timothy Dalton, but now on

483
00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:38,359
Speaker 1: our next one we go up to the next actor

484
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:40,760
Speaker 1: to play James Bond. Yeah, it would be a six

485
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:43,880
Speaker 1: year break in between these movies, and the next film

486
00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:48,520
Speaker 1: that came out was Golden with Pierce Brosnan. Now Pierce Brosnan.

487
00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:53,000
Speaker 1: A lot of people felt was a good, um refreshing

488
00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:56,760
Speaker 1: breath after Timothy Dalton. Again, I think the Timothy Dalton

489
00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:59,000
Speaker 1: movies was that was more of a scripting issue than

490
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:02,040
Speaker 1: necessarily a casting one. But Pierce Proson and definitely brought

491
00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:04,359
Speaker 1: in some uh uh, you know, kind of an edge

492
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:08,040
Speaker 1: to the character that had sort of not been there before.

493
00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:12,320
Speaker 1: It would definitely be refined later on. So Golden Eye, Uh,

494
00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:16,080
Speaker 1: besides being one of the best Nintendo sixty four video

495
00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:18,560
Speaker 1: games ever made, I'm glad that you said that, because

496
00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:20,639
Speaker 1: that was going to be my really important note about

497
00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:24,760
Speaker 1: it was also a great movie. Uh. He had his

498
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:27,879
Speaker 1: Aston Martin d B five again, So we're back to

499
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:30,520
Speaker 1: the Aston Martin. This one in particular, had a fax

500
00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:34,080
Speaker 1: machine in the dashboard, just like any sexy, suave spy,

501
00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:38,520
Speaker 1: let me fax this, um, but but more and more

502
00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:43,840
Speaker 1: interestingly cellular voice communication capacity. Yeah, this is when we're

503
00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:46,199
Speaker 1: starting to see cell phones started to get adopted in

504
00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:48,800
Speaker 1: large numbers. But you know, to have like a hands

505
00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:52,600
Speaker 1: free cellular voice command system inside of a car was

506
00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:56,360
Speaker 1: definitely bleeding edge tech at the time. They also had

507
00:26:57,240 --> 00:26:59,200
Speaker 1: It's actually one of my favorite scenes in Gold and I.

508
00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:03,679
Speaker 1: There's a ballpoint pen that Q gives to to Bond,

509
00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:08,000
Speaker 1: and the pen is an actual explosive device, a grenade

510
00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:11,440
Speaker 1: that had that you activate by clicking it three times.

511
00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:13,639
Speaker 1: Since it's a ballpoint, so if you click it three times,

512
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:15,960
Speaker 1: it activates and it has a four second long fuse,

513
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:18,359
Speaker 1: and you can deactivate it by clicking it three more times.

514
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:20,560
Speaker 1: So Q says, you know, you click it three times

515
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:22,879
Speaker 1: click click click, and the four second fuse starts and

516
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:26,200
Speaker 1: goes click click click, and then James Bond takes and says,

517
00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:28,639
Speaker 1: how long did you say the fuse was? Click click click,

518
00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:33,000
Speaker 1: and then Q just looks at him, takes the pen back, calmly,

519
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:36,120
Speaker 1: clicks it three times and says, grow up double O seven.

520
00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:39,960
Speaker 1: And then of course there's a little line about so

521
00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:42,760
Speaker 1: they always said the pen is mightier than the swords

522
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:46,119
Speaker 1: as well, this time they're right because of me, says Q.

523
00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:50,119
Speaker 1: So there are a lot of other silly gadgets shown

524
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:54,040
Speaker 1: in the background during the Q laboratory scene, like some

525
00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:58,640
Speaker 1: of the silliest ones and uh, you had like ejector

526
00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:01,760
Speaker 1: seats shown off. There was the uh there was one

527
00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:03,920
Speaker 1: point where Q shows up. Actually, when Q first shows

528
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:05,760
Speaker 1: up in the scene, he's we wheeling out in the

529
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:08,959
Speaker 1: wheelchair and he's got one leg in a big plaster

530
00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:12,120
Speaker 1: cast and Bond says, home, I'm sorry about your leg,

531
00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:15,679
Speaker 1: and then Q demonstrates that it's actually a missile launcher

532
00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:19,280
Speaker 1: and a missile launches from the cast leg and flies

533
00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:22,320
Speaker 1: about twenty feet to the right of a dummy that

534
00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:26,399
Speaker 1: he was pointing toward. And then Q just casually stands

535
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 1: up out of the wheelchair and you see that was

536
00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:30,359
Speaker 1: a false leg the whole time. Uh. And we had

537
00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:32,760
Speaker 1: a request by Ian on Facebook that said that we

538
00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:35,840
Speaker 1: needed to explain that, if not for the practicality, but

539
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:39,720
Speaker 1: for the sheer comedic value of that particular device. There's

540
00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:42,680
Speaker 1: also one that they don't comment on, Like you were

541
00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:46,280
Speaker 1: saying earlier, Lauren, there occasionally in these Q segments you

542
00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:48,960
Speaker 1: just see stuff going on in the background that's hilarious,

543
00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:51,240
Speaker 1: but no one says anything. There's one point where you

544
00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:53,560
Speaker 1: see a guy, a guy in a lab coat walk

545
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:56,760
Speaker 1: into a phone booth and then suddenly the phone booth

546
00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:59,920
Speaker 1: just fills up with a big inflated balloon, trapping the

547
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:02,720
Speaker 1: against the door, and because the door pulls in on

548
00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:04,920
Speaker 1: phone booth, he can't get out and you just see

549
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:09,200
Speaker 1: him squished up against the glass. And that is hilarious.

550
00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:13,640
Speaker 1: Also doesn't play any other part in the movie whatsoever. Uh.

551
00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:15,760
Speaker 1: That starts to feel like it belongs more and get

552
00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:18,400
Speaker 1: smart than on James. Yeah, some of these, some of

553
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:21,400
Speaker 1: these around this era started to seem like parodies of

554
00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:23,800
Speaker 1: I mean even even more. At least they were being

555
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:25,480
Speaker 1: self aware because I feel like the stuff that was

556
00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:29,000
Speaker 1: going on in Roger Moore's time was straightforwardly like it

557
00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:31,560
Speaker 1: was just great. It was just camp, the way the

558
00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:35,520
Speaker 1: old Batman series was camp. So uh, we move on

559
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:39,840
Speaker 1: to Tomorrow Never dies that film again with Pierce Browsnon. Yep.

560
00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:41,440
Speaker 1: They had a mobile phone that could act as a

561
00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:45,280
Speaker 1: fingerprint scanner. And as we've all mentioned, yeah, iPhone five

562
00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:47,760
Speaker 1: S does that now, So we actually have technology that

563
00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:51,360
Speaker 1: could do this that you know, we could easily adapt that.

564
00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:53,560
Speaker 1: In fact, I'm sure there are law enforcement agencies that

565
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:56,880
Speaker 1: have adapted that technology to work in the field. Um

566
00:29:56,920 --> 00:29:59,120
Speaker 1: It also contained a lock pick in the antenna. It

567
00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:02,400
Speaker 1: was an electronic lock pick, and you could put the

568
00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:03,920
Speaker 1: lock pick in a lock and you press the key

569
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:05,600
Speaker 1: on the phone it would cause it to pick a

570
00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:11,200
Speaker 1: lock automatically. And it also was um uh twenty volts

571
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:14,440
Speaker 1: stunned gun, so you could zap people if they wanted

572
00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:17,200
Speaker 1: to run up your minutes. And it could do one

573
00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:20,560
Speaker 1: other thing. It was a remote control. It was a

574
00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:27,240
Speaker 1: remote control for Bonds BMW. First of all BMW car. Yeah,

575
00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:30,360
Speaker 1: I was a little bit irked by that too. Um

576
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:33,680
Speaker 1: but but the part where it was a remote control

577
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:38,080
Speaker 1: that you know, could could let the car locate Bond

578
00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:41,600
Speaker 1: and drive itself to him is technology that people are

579
00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:43,920
Speaker 1: very much working on right right now. Yeah, we've talked

580
00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:46,560
Speaker 1: about autonomous cars in the past. This is truly an

581
00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:49,760
Speaker 1: autonomous car that could you know, it could identify the

582
00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:52,320
Speaker 1: signal where Bond was and then plan out a route

583
00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:55,160
Speaker 1: and drive to him. Obviously, going in a straight line

584
00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:57,360
Speaker 1: would not necessarily work if there were say, you know,

585
00:30:57,480 --> 00:30:59,560
Speaker 1: lakes or buildings or something in the way. So it

586
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:02,520
Speaker 1: actually to be able to navigate right and and as

587
00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:05,080
Speaker 1: that kind of technology gets better, I we were not

588
00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:08,360
Speaker 1: quite there yet except an extreme prototype phase. But yeah,

589
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:12,400
Speaker 1: but yeah, as Stephen on Facebook requested that one. So

590
00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:15,320
Speaker 1: also this was you know, we weren't the only ones

591
00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:17,960
Speaker 1: who got a little miffed about the Aston Martin going

592
00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:21,000
Speaker 1: away and the BMW coming in. That ended up being

593
00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:23,160
Speaker 1: a kind of a sticking point for a few people.

594
00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:25,040
Speaker 1: BMW would stick around for a little bit. But uh,

595
00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:27,640
Speaker 1: don't worry. If you guys love your British cars, you'll

596
00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:29,880
Speaker 1: you'll get pay off a little bit later, there was

597
00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:32,640
Speaker 1: also a bad guy who had a wrist band grappling hook,

598
00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:34,920
Speaker 1: So it was something that you could fire from the

599
00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:39,120
Speaker 1: wrist band, had a little python or peton if you're British,

600
00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:42,640
Speaker 1: that would fly out and embed into something, and it

601
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:45,760
Speaker 1: had a high tension strength wire connected to it so

602
00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:48,320
Speaker 1: you could swing on it or climb. In this case

603
00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:50,320
Speaker 1: it was a character who could uh use it to

604
00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:55,320
Speaker 1: run down a vertical surface. Um, you know, because that's

605
00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:58,360
Speaker 1: how that happens in Bond movies. Um. It's one of

606
00:31:58,360 --> 00:32:02,000
Speaker 1: those things that I questioned the legitimacy of only from

607
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:05,520
Speaker 1: the sense of we could make a wrist mounted device

608
00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:08,320
Speaker 1: that could fire something, in fact, fire something hard enough

609
00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:11,520
Speaker 1: to to hurt or kill somebody, certainly, but to fire

610
00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:14,960
Speaker 1: something so hard that it embeds in a very tough

611
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:17,960
Speaker 1: material like stone and his high tensile enough that you

612
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:21,280
Speaker 1: could furthermore climb up right, I mean that's a lot

613
00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:24,240
Speaker 1: of maybe exactly because I mean, not only does it

614
00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:26,200
Speaker 1: have to be strong enough to to penetrate, right, it

615
00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:27,880
Speaker 1: has to be strong enough to carry the weight of

616
00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:30,840
Speaker 1: the line. Like. That's a lot of that's a lot

617
00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:32,600
Speaker 1: of stuff you've got to figure out. So that this

618
00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:34,080
Speaker 1: thing will work the way it's supposed to wear, the

619
00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:36,400
Speaker 1: same problem I have with some of Batman's stuff. I

620
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:38,240
Speaker 1: think that's a different podcast. I think I think we

621
00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:41,840
Speaker 1: should that is a different podcast something. I think that

622
00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:44,640
Speaker 1: we should call whoever created that and be like, so

623
00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:47,080
Speaker 1: we have the space elevator idea that we're trying to work.

624
00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:51,160
Speaker 1: So if you've got enough of that wire that apparently

625
00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:54,360
Speaker 1: is incredibly strong, let's use it for something else. Let's

626
00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:57,000
Speaker 1: talk about that that moves on to the world is

627
00:32:57,040 --> 00:33:00,400
Speaker 1: not Enough, which is I recall, is James Bond's family motto?

628
00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:05,440
Speaker 1: Was it? Yeah, the world is not enough? That's that's

629
00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:08,520
Speaker 1: the Bond family crest. If I'm if I'm not mistaken,

630
00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:11,640
Speaker 1: I could be. I'm totally speaking from memory here. It

631
00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:14,800
Speaker 1: was made another pierced brass and in film, all right,

632
00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:18,760
Speaker 1: we had yet another wristwatch with a grappling hook, and

633
00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:24,440
Speaker 1: and they also had eyeglasses that incorporated X ray technology,

634
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:27,600
Speaker 1: so you could look at people and turn on the

635
00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:30,080
Speaker 1: X ray specs and they were X rayspects where you

636
00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:32,160
Speaker 1: could actually see if someone was carrying a gun. I'm

637
00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:35,400
Speaker 1: sure Bond also used it for other purposes. I feel

638
00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:39,080
Speaker 1: like that's likely. Um And of course, again miniaturization of

639
00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:42,200
Speaker 1: the technology is an issue, and also the whole cancer thing.

640
00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:46,920
Speaker 1: Where radiation is radiation, Yeah, it's it's ionizing radiation, which

641
00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:49,360
Speaker 1: means that it's not good for us to be around

642
00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:53,160
Speaker 1: non ionizing that's okay for the most part, I think

643
00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:57,480
Speaker 1: not okay. Yeah. However, there are some infrared glasses that

644
00:33:57,600 --> 00:34:00,720
Speaker 1: exist and can be used for for similar fifty stuff.

645
00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:04,520
Speaker 1: Just this year, a vascular imaging goggles were released that

646
00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:08,040
Speaker 1: can help medical professionals like locate a vein for for

647
00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:11,520
Speaker 1: blood samples or etcetera. Pretty awesome, which is pretty awesome. Um.

648
00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:13,799
Speaker 1: And and of course we've got photon cameras that can

649
00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:15,799
Speaker 1: help us see around corners. We talked about that in

650
00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:19,320
Speaker 1: a Fred Thinking episode about how it measures the time

651
00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:21,880
Speaker 1: it takes for light to come back around. Like a

652
00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:24,960
Speaker 1: portion of the light hits an open doorway and goes

653
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:27,399
Speaker 1: into a room, and some of that light gets reflected back,

654
00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:30,360
Speaker 1: hits the doorway again gets reflected back toward the camera,

655
00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:34,000
Speaker 1: and by measuring the the amount of time those individual

656
00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:37,800
Speaker 1: photons took to go out and come back, a camera

657
00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:41,719
Speaker 1: can actually reconstruct what is inside the room next door

658
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:44,200
Speaker 1: without having a clear line of sight inside it, which

659
00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:48,719
Speaker 1: is crazy, but it's real. It's not X ray glasses.

660
00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:51,799
Speaker 1: It's never going to be X ray glasses. A yeah,

661
00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:53,640
Speaker 1: but I saw on the back of this comic book

662
00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:56,160
Speaker 1: is guys holding up his hand. He's got this crazy

663
00:34:56,200 --> 00:34:59,720
Speaker 1: look on his face. Looks like Drew Carey. However, things

664
00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:03,680
Speaker 1: that I think are definitely up and coming um bagpipes

665
00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:07,440
Speaker 1: that can hold machine guns and flamethrowers. Look, aren't bagpipes

666
00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:10,600
Speaker 1: deadly enough already? Do we really need to add more

667
00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:17,520
Speaker 1: killing power to bagpipes with q okay or should I say? Ah? Yeah?

668
00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:19,640
Speaker 1: That was another one of those things seen in Queues

669
00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:21,800
Speaker 1: Lab is this guy with a set of bagpipes that

670
00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:23,880
Speaker 1: turn into a machine gun in flamethrower, because you know,

671
00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:26,440
Speaker 1: that's that's exactly what we need, are more highlanders with

672
00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:31,160
Speaker 1: high high caliber weapons, all right. They also this was

673
00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:32,880
Speaker 1: also one of those things that when I saw it,

674
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:35,319
Speaker 1: I was like, this is this is hilarious, And yet

675
00:35:35,360 --> 00:35:38,480
Speaker 1: there's a real world technology that's similar to what was

676
00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:42,240
Speaker 1: shown on the screen. So James Bond's wearing the ski jacket,

677
00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:46,080
Speaker 1: there's this whole chase scene where he's driving what's essentially

678
00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:49,000
Speaker 1: a snowmobile with a parachute and a fan on the

679
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:51,440
Speaker 1: back of it so that can fly in places. And

680
00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:53,400
Speaker 1: he's being chased by bad guys who are also on

681
00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:57,719
Speaker 1: these things. And then he and a lady are on

682
00:35:57,800 --> 00:36:02,320
Speaker 1: this this icy area where uh, and the spot above

683
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:05,560
Speaker 1: them is breaking apart. It's gonna cause like a little avalanche.

684
00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:08,000
Speaker 1: It's going to crush them in a second. And so

685
00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:12,040
Speaker 1: quickly James Bond grabs the lady and uh the and

686
00:36:12,239 --> 00:36:15,439
Speaker 1: hits something on his jacket which inflates this ball around them.

687
00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:19,160
Speaker 1: So they get surrounded by this big inflatable ball and

688
00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:21,520
Speaker 1: uh and sort of like a zorb one of those

689
00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:24,160
Speaker 1: big inflatd ones that you could run around inside, similar

690
00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:27,200
Speaker 1: to that yeah, yeah, big inflata hamster ball, and that

691
00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:31,040
Speaker 1: ends up providing shelter when everything falls on top of them,

692
00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:33,279
Speaker 1: so that they don't get crushed by the snow and

693
00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:36,680
Speaker 1: ice that falls. Um. And at first, when you look

694
00:36:36,719 --> 00:36:39,440
Speaker 1: at this, you're like, oh, come on, that's just so silly. However,

695
00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:42,880
Speaker 1: it's actually kind of similar. There's this, um this cool

696
00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:47,520
Speaker 1: yeah just announced this year. I think there's this inflatable helmet. Yeah,

697
00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:51,200
Speaker 1: it looks like it's uh, this kind of bulky scarf

698
00:36:51,239 --> 00:36:54,920
Speaker 1: that you would wear. Uh. It's the hof Ding and

699
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:57,960
Speaker 1: it's uh, it's an airbag for cyclists. And the idea

700
00:36:58,080 --> 00:37:02,920
Speaker 1: is that it has this inflatable helmet that can expand

701
00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:06,400
Speaker 1: rapidly if it detects a sudden change in your acceleration

702
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:11,080
Speaker 1: and cover your head in this inflatable bags so that way,

703
00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:13,799
Speaker 1: if you have a crash, your head is protected, even

704
00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:15,719
Speaker 1: if you're not wearing you know, even if you don't

705
00:37:15,719 --> 00:37:19,759
Speaker 1: want to wear a standard So kind of cool, I

706
00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:22,759
Speaker 1: mean in the sense that there is technology that's being

707
00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:26,040
Speaker 1: developed right now that's similar to this, this idea that

708
00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:28,080
Speaker 1: was proposed in the movie. I would think that anything

709
00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:31,520
Speaker 1: potentially sharp like ice might be a bad idea for

710
00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:34,560
Speaker 1: something like that. Also, the material would have to be

711
00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:37,040
Speaker 1: able to withstand puncture. I also think it would it

712
00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:40,480
Speaker 1: would require a lot of pressure on the inside of

713
00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:44,319
Speaker 1: that that inflatable object to withstand the huge amount of

714
00:37:44,920 --> 00:37:48,160
Speaker 1: weight of an avalanche like it would. It would need

715
00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:51,120
Speaker 1: to be mostly rigid, right when it couldn't be like

716
00:37:51,120 --> 00:37:54,239
Speaker 1: the bouncy bouncy castle sort of thing or just crush you.

717
00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:59,400
Speaker 1: Moving on to die another day film, um, and that

718
00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:02,000
Speaker 1: would be our last one. With Pierce Brosnan yep, and

719
00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:04,800
Speaker 1: this one James Bond gets a ring that can emit

720
00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:08,040
Speaker 1: an ultra high frequency single that is powerful enough to

721
00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:14,960
Speaker 1: shatter bulletproof glass. Which okay, so materials have this resonant frequency,

722
00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:17,400
Speaker 1: right that if you match the resonant frequency, it causes

723
00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:20,640
Speaker 1: the material to start to vibrate. And MythBusters did a

724
00:38:20,640 --> 00:38:22,600
Speaker 1: whole thing on this where they showed, you know, the

725
00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:25,840
Speaker 1: whole idea of being able to shatter a a wine

726
00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:28,520
Speaker 1: glass with your voice if you're able to sing at

727
00:38:28,520 --> 00:38:31,160
Speaker 1: the right note, and they showed that at the right

728
00:38:31,480 --> 00:38:34,560
Speaker 1: level of uh, not not just the right frequency, but

729
00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:37,759
Speaker 1: the right volume, the right intensity, you could actually make

730
00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:40,120
Speaker 1: this happen. You could. Then they shot into slow motion

731
00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:42,680
Speaker 1: where you could actually see the glass deforming as it

732
00:38:42,719 --> 00:38:46,440
Speaker 1: was shaking. Is really cool. However, squeezing that amount of

733
00:38:46,680 --> 00:38:49,839
Speaker 1: energy into a ring is going to be difficult. Yeah,

734
00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:53,200
Speaker 1: being able to project that much volume so that you

735
00:38:53,239 --> 00:38:55,640
Speaker 1: are able to shatter something like a pane of glass,

736
00:38:56,320 --> 00:38:58,760
Speaker 1: because I mean, if you ever watch these videos, glass

737
00:38:58,760 --> 00:39:02,880
Speaker 1: can deform a surprising amount before it breaks, a really weird,

738
00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:05,840
Speaker 1: scary amount. Yeah, when slow motion you look at you

739
00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:09,400
Speaker 1: like that doesn't even look real, so it would. I

740
00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:12,080
Speaker 1: certainly don't think you could pack that kind of wallop

741
00:39:12,120 --> 00:39:14,120
Speaker 1: in a ring. No, I mean you could punch the

742
00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:16,120
Speaker 1: glass of course, of its bulletproof, You're probably just gonna

743
00:39:16,120 --> 00:39:21,320
Speaker 1: break your hand. But anyway, the basic concept is sound.

744
00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:25,120
Speaker 1: The execution is questionable, not so much. Yeah, the Aston

745
00:39:25,160 --> 00:39:29,759
Speaker 1: Martin in this one was um okay, So so we

746
00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:32,520
Speaker 1: have basically we had an invisible car. Yeah. The Aston

747
00:39:32,560 --> 00:39:36,399
Speaker 1: Martin Vanquish, also sometimes called the Aston Martin Vanish, there's

748
00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:38,600
Speaker 1: a car that, according to the film, the idea was

749
00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:41,160
Speaker 1: that had lots of these little tiny cameras all around

750
00:39:41,160 --> 00:39:44,279
Speaker 1: the car, and what would happen is that it would

751
00:39:44,440 --> 00:39:48,920
Speaker 1: project It would capture whatever's coming on like oncoming and

752
00:39:48,960 --> 00:39:51,600
Speaker 1: projected onto the surface of the car itself, right for

753
00:39:51,840 --> 00:39:54,680
Speaker 1: doing kind of an invisibility cloak sort of, the idea

754
00:39:54,760 --> 00:39:57,120
Speaker 1: being that if if you're looking at the car, you're

755
00:39:57,160 --> 00:39:59,279
Speaker 1: actually seeing what's on the other side of the car

756
00:39:59,400 --> 00:40:02,640
Speaker 1: as opposed to car itself. This worked for everything, not

757
00:40:02,719 --> 00:40:05,360
Speaker 1: just the not just the car's body, but the wheels,

758
00:40:05,520 --> 00:40:09,839
Speaker 1: the glass, the windows, the windshield, everything was was completely

759
00:40:09,880 --> 00:40:12,480
Speaker 1: cloaked and when it moved, it moved like you know,

760
00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:16,280
Speaker 1: like the clingon Starship and star Trek right um, and okay,

761
00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:18,560
Speaker 1: so I mean researchers and artists have in fact come

762
00:40:18,640 --> 00:40:23,040
Speaker 1: up with invisibility cloaks that work on similar principles, but

763
00:40:23,600 --> 00:40:27,120
Speaker 1: not at Aston Martin road speeds really and and to

764
00:40:27,520 --> 00:40:30,279
Speaker 1: be fair to James Bond, at first, when you see this,

765
00:40:30,719 --> 00:40:33,640
Speaker 1: the cars not moving, it's still. But then it does

766
00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:35,960
Speaker 1: start to move and it's moving perfectly fine, like you

767
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:38,719
Speaker 1: see the shimmer as it moves. But it's not like,

768
00:40:39,280 --> 00:40:40,839
Speaker 1: you know, it's not like not like it's not like

769
00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:43,360
Speaker 1: the stuff on the car is lagging behind three seconds

770
00:40:43,400 --> 00:40:46,920
Speaker 1: from what is actually around it, right right, um, right now.

771
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:48,640
Speaker 1: The best technology for this kind of thing is on

772
00:40:48,680 --> 00:40:52,000
Speaker 1: the micrometer scale, you know, carbon nanotube stuff like that.

773
00:40:52,040 --> 00:40:53,640
Speaker 1: And also a lot of the stuff we think of

774
00:40:53,680 --> 00:40:57,120
Speaker 1: as invisibility cloaks right now is really for bands of

775
00:40:57,200 --> 00:41:00,520
Speaker 1: light that we personally cannot see. It's just that out

776
00:41:00,800 --> 00:41:03,439
Speaker 1: from a laboratory standpoint, certain types of light will pass

777
00:41:03,520 --> 00:41:06,520
Speaker 1: through as opposed to reflecting off. It's just not in

778
00:41:06,560 --> 00:41:11,600
Speaker 1: the visible spectrum. Yeah, and and that was a request

779
00:41:11,719 --> 00:41:15,319
Speaker 1: from a couple of people on Facebook, Richard and Monty.

780
00:41:15,400 --> 00:41:18,080
Speaker 1: Now it also, of course, had your standard James Bond

781
00:41:18,239 --> 00:41:22,000
Speaker 1: equipment objector seat, which in this film James Bond uses

782
00:41:22,040 --> 00:41:25,040
Speaker 1: to flip the car from being upside down on its

783
00:41:25,040 --> 00:41:28,440
Speaker 1: hood back to being right side up. The objector seat

784
00:41:28,480 --> 00:41:33,279
Speaker 1: provides the flippy flip. Yeah. Yeah, MythBusters tested part of

785
00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:34,960
Speaker 1: that as part of that that episode that they did

786
00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:38,880
Speaker 1: about and missed that part. I totally forgot that part

787
00:41:38,920 --> 00:41:40,600
Speaker 1: of the You know, I don't think I've ever seen

788
00:41:40,680 --> 00:41:43,239
Speaker 1: Die another Day. I've seen the clips, right, I've seen

789
00:41:43,239 --> 00:41:46,480
Speaker 1: the clips of this particular scene because and I just

790
00:41:46,520 --> 00:41:49,759
Speaker 1: remember yelling, oh, come on like times. And then I've

791
00:41:49,760 --> 00:41:55,240
Speaker 1: had the standard you know, machine gun torpedoes right right, yeah,

792
00:41:55,280 --> 00:41:57,719
Speaker 1: all that stuff that you know James Bond has he

793
00:41:57,760 --> 00:42:01,320
Speaker 1: can't leave home without. So moving on, we've got uh, well,

794
00:42:01,320 --> 00:42:04,719
Speaker 1: you got the boring Bond right Casino Royale with this

795
00:42:05,400 --> 00:42:10,080
Speaker 1: Daniel Craig person. This this was a two thousand six films.

796
00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:14,160
Speaker 1: He's dreamy, I can't lie. So yeah, there's a new

797
00:42:14,239 --> 00:42:17,200
Speaker 1: West and Martin in this one, the dbs V twelve.

798
00:42:17,840 --> 00:42:20,480
Speaker 1: She also had a whole bunch of high tech uh

799
00:42:20,719 --> 00:42:23,040
Speaker 1: first aid gear that was all stored in the glove compartment.

800
00:42:23,080 --> 00:42:25,960
Speaker 1: So nothing like super Crazy in this one, and a

801
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:27,680
Speaker 1: lot of this was the idea of going back to

802
00:42:27,760 --> 00:42:30,799
Speaker 1: James Bond and kind of grounding the character a little

803
00:42:30,800 --> 00:42:34,080
Speaker 1: bit more more gritty. Yeah. I I liked this entire

804
00:42:34,239 --> 00:42:36,759
Speaker 1: recent reboot with with Daniel Craig. I thought it was

805
00:42:36,800 --> 00:42:39,120
Speaker 1: a little bit it's a little bit over aud at times,

806
00:42:39,239 --> 00:42:42,080
Speaker 1: but that's okay. But and they still have cutting edge

807
00:42:42,080 --> 00:42:45,280
Speaker 1: technology and in some cases cutting edge technology that outstrips

808
00:42:45,320 --> 00:42:47,680
Speaker 1: what we can currently do. But that's not it's not

809
00:42:47,840 --> 00:42:50,920
Speaker 1: so much a as goofy, yeah, and it's not as

810
00:42:51,960 --> 00:42:54,319
Speaker 1: right um. One of the other bits of tech from

811
00:42:54,320 --> 00:42:57,920
Speaker 1: this movie was an implanted microchip that could act as

812
00:42:57,960 --> 00:43:01,120
Speaker 1: both a homing device and a like a a biometric

813
00:43:01,200 --> 00:43:05,919
Speaker 1: monitor of UM, which also could send that info back

814
00:43:05,960 --> 00:43:08,200
Speaker 1: out to m I six Yeah, which again is a

815
00:43:08,239 --> 00:43:11,120
Speaker 1: little little tricky, like how do you create a transmitter

816
00:43:11,200 --> 00:43:13,600
Speaker 1: with the size of a pencil eraser that can also

817
00:43:14,200 --> 00:43:17,360
Speaker 1: transmit this stuff. Not that there aren't, you know, implantable

818
00:43:17,400 --> 00:43:20,600
Speaker 1: technologies that that are totally dissimilar to this. We do

819
00:43:20,680 --> 00:43:23,040
Speaker 1: have things that are similar, but they work on very

820
00:43:23,160 --> 00:43:25,920
Speaker 1: very short range. The idea is that's when you can

821
00:43:25,960 --> 00:43:28,600
Speaker 1: actually monitor the patient in person as opposed to when

822
00:43:28,600 --> 00:43:32,080
Speaker 1: when you can kind of poke a instrument directly at

823
00:43:32,120 --> 00:43:36,640
Speaker 1: their are rather than rather than you know, five miles away.

824
00:43:37,320 --> 00:43:40,080
Speaker 1: There was also a touchscreen table in m I six,

825
00:43:40,200 --> 00:43:44,120
Speaker 1: which uh, you know Microsoft had something like as of

826
00:43:44,160 --> 00:43:47,279
Speaker 1: two thousand eight. Yeah, the Surface table. The you know

827
00:43:47,360 --> 00:43:50,600
Speaker 1: before there was the Surface tablet. Dear friends, there was

828
00:43:50,640 --> 00:43:53,440
Speaker 1: the Microsoft Surface table, which is when when they called

829
00:43:53,480 --> 00:43:56,600
Speaker 1: the tablet Microsoft Surface again. That was also when I

830
00:43:56,600 --> 00:43:58,080
Speaker 1: threw my hands up in the air and said, oh,

831
00:43:58,120 --> 00:44:00,719
Speaker 1: come on, I don't do it us to James Bond.

832
00:44:00,760 --> 00:44:02,600
Speaker 1: I also do it to Microsoft. What I said, you

833
00:44:02,640 --> 00:44:05,360
Speaker 1: already have a product called the Surface and it's a tabe.

834
00:44:05,400 --> 00:44:08,000
Speaker 1: It's confusing. It's hard for me to write about this.

835
00:44:08,040 --> 00:44:10,799
Speaker 1: You're making my articles not be relevant anymore. You got

836
00:44:10,840 --> 00:44:12,000
Speaker 1: to you got to play with one of those at

837
00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:14,879
Speaker 1: one of those Yes, yeah, yeah, they had one where

838
00:44:14,880 --> 00:44:16,680
Speaker 1: they was on it was on display that back then,

839
00:44:16,760 --> 00:44:18,960
Speaker 1: Microsoft had a presence at c Yes, they used to

840
00:44:18,960 --> 00:44:21,839
Speaker 1: have a booth and they had the Microsoft Surface there

841
00:44:21,840 --> 00:44:23,440
Speaker 1: and you could play with it. In fact, there were

842
00:44:23,480 --> 00:44:25,920
Speaker 1: a couple of different booths that had a Microsoft Surface.

843
00:44:25,960 --> 00:44:29,440
Speaker 1: I think, um, oh what it was like Intel or

844
00:44:29,480 --> 00:44:32,959
Speaker 1: something else. Also had one. So the neat thing about

845
00:44:32,960 --> 00:44:35,440
Speaker 1: the surface was had the multi touch capability. And this

846
00:44:35,480 --> 00:44:38,400
Speaker 1: was before you saw that in everything, right, So it

847
00:44:38,480 --> 00:44:41,279
Speaker 1: was one of those um implementations that was really cool.

848
00:44:41,320 --> 00:44:44,239
Speaker 1: So this this was kind of predicting that as well.

849
00:44:45,840 --> 00:44:50,200
Speaker 1: Moving on to Quantum of Solace, Craig's second film that

850
00:44:50,280 --> 00:44:53,280
Speaker 1: came out in two thousand eight. Uh So, and again

851
00:44:53,440 --> 00:44:56,440
Speaker 1: we have another magical telephone in a way, so this

852
00:44:56,480 --> 00:44:59,399
Speaker 1: one could create a composite photo of a subject even

853
00:44:59,400 --> 00:45:01,719
Speaker 1: if Bond only got like a profile shot. So if

854
00:45:01,719 --> 00:45:04,239
Speaker 1: you got a shot from the side of someone, this

855
00:45:04,320 --> 00:45:07,600
Speaker 1: phone could reconstruct that person's entire face, including the side

856
00:45:07,640 --> 00:45:09,920
Speaker 1: that was not facing the camera. And this this is

857
00:45:09,960 --> 00:45:13,040
Speaker 1: one of my personal pet peeves. And and uh it's

858
00:45:13,040 --> 00:45:15,520
Speaker 1: that whole zoom and enhanced concept where I'm like, no,

859
00:45:15,640 --> 00:45:18,920
Speaker 1: if the camera hasn't recorded that information, it cannot give you.

860
00:45:19,160 --> 00:45:20,920
Speaker 1: The best we can do is assume that you have

861
00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:26,320
Speaker 1: an incredibly symmetrical face. And therefore, if like James Bond,

862
00:45:26,440 --> 00:45:30,560
Speaker 1: encounters you know, mostly supermodels, then in that universe it's

863
00:45:30,600 --> 00:45:34,319
Speaker 1: actually very effective. To be fair, Lauren, James Bond does

864
00:45:34,719 --> 00:45:38,040
Speaker 1: encounter supermodels. This is what I'm saying you know, that's

865
00:45:38,080 --> 00:45:41,239
Speaker 1: that's okay. Never never mind where if James Bond took

866
00:45:41,239 --> 00:45:43,480
Speaker 1: a picture of me and profile, however, it would that

867
00:45:43,560 --> 00:45:46,360
Speaker 1: you'd be like, Wow, who's that devastatingly handsome gentleman? And

868
00:45:46,360 --> 00:45:48,480
Speaker 1: then you see me and like that cannot be the

869
00:45:48,480 --> 00:45:51,160
Speaker 1: guy that's in this picture because that guy's nose is

870
00:45:51,200 --> 00:45:55,480
Speaker 1: all crooked and stuff. I had a tough childhood. Um yeah, anyway,

871
00:45:55,640 --> 00:45:58,719
Speaker 1: it was. It's not that this technology is totally beyond us,

872
00:45:58,719 --> 00:46:00,520
Speaker 1: but it is one of those things where I don't

873
00:46:00,719 --> 00:46:05,000
Speaker 1: I would highly suspect the reliability of any picture that

874
00:46:05,200 --> 00:46:10,839
Speaker 1: is completely created from just a portion of someone's face. Um. Now,

875
00:46:11,000 --> 00:46:14,680
Speaker 1: we have seen interesting scanning technology with people using something

876
00:46:14,680 --> 00:46:17,520
Speaker 1: like the Connect where they do a very slow turn

877
00:46:17,600 --> 00:46:19,799
Speaker 1: and it gives a full three D scan of a

878
00:46:19,800 --> 00:46:22,360
Speaker 1: person's head. But in that case, you're talking about the

879
00:46:22,400 --> 00:46:25,560
Speaker 1: device that's actually getting data from all points, right, it's

880
00:46:25,560 --> 00:46:28,840
Speaker 1: not just one side all right. Then when it comes

881
00:46:28,880 --> 00:46:32,760
Speaker 1: up to Skyfall, the as of right now, most recent

882
00:46:33,560 --> 00:46:35,680
Speaker 1: film in the James Bond franchise that came out in

883
00:46:36,480 --> 00:46:41,280
Speaker 1: and also starred Mr Craig, Mr Dreamy Craig and um

884
00:46:41,360 --> 00:46:45,200
Speaker 1: and and this this film was very much stressing that

885
00:46:45,280 --> 00:46:49,560
Speaker 1: kind of stripped down aesthetic versus especially some of the

886
00:46:49,680 --> 00:46:53,279
Speaker 1: earlier goofy or nineteen eighties films um uh and and

887
00:46:53,360 --> 00:46:55,080
Speaker 1: so they kind of make a bit out of it

888
00:46:55,120 --> 00:46:57,520
Speaker 1: when when bonding the new queue made up for the

889
00:46:57,560 --> 00:47:01,279
Speaker 1: first time, um uh Q gives him this little box

890
00:47:01,320 --> 00:47:06,000
Speaker 1: and all it contains is a Walter PPK and and

891
00:47:06,080 --> 00:47:08,840
Speaker 1: ah in a little radio transmitter and and bonds like

892
00:47:08,920 --> 00:47:14,120
Speaker 1: that's it, like like not exactly Christmas, is it? However,

893
00:47:14,200 --> 00:47:19,280
Speaker 1: his his gun does have a a scanner on the handle,

894
00:47:19,360 --> 00:47:21,600
Speaker 1: so it only bond can fire it, all right, right,

895
00:47:21,640 --> 00:47:24,520
Speaker 1: it's a little pom print reader thing, yeah, which which

896
00:47:24,520 --> 00:47:28,400
Speaker 1: which is technically possible, although it would be harder um

897
00:47:28,440 --> 00:47:30,360
Speaker 1: on a on a mechanical device than it would have

898
00:47:30,360 --> 00:47:32,759
Speaker 1: been on on a digital So if you have some

899
00:47:32,800 --> 00:47:36,160
Speaker 1: sort of digital safety, digitize the safety or something. If

900
00:47:36,160 --> 00:47:38,799
Speaker 1: you if you make the safety completely separate from a

901
00:47:38,840 --> 00:47:42,440
Speaker 1: mechanical approach and you make it an electronic approach, I

902
00:47:42,480 --> 00:47:45,560
Speaker 1: could see that like if it's it's engaged unless the

903
00:47:45,880 --> 00:47:49,319
Speaker 1: quote unquote right person is holding the gun. Um that

904
00:47:49,360 --> 00:47:52,440
Speaker 1: would That's the only way I could imagine that making sense.

905
00:47:52,520 --> 00:47:54,600
Speaker 1: I'll give that one to que Um. And it also

906
00:47:54,719 --> 00:47:57,920
Speaker 1: we also see a return of the Aston Martin dB

907
00:47:58,080 --> 00:48:01,080
Speaker 1: five um, like the like the super classic one with

908
00:48:01,120 --> 00:48:03,920
Speaker 1: all of the super classic stuff pretty much from Goldfinger,

909
00:48:04,040 --> 00:48:06,120
Speaker 1: which you know, to be fair, Skyfall had a lot

910
00:48:06,200 --> 00:48:09,600
Speaker 1: of little nods to some of the earlier Bond films,

911
00:48:09,600 --> 00:48:12,399
Speaker 1: like you you would actually you know, see examples of

912
00:48:12,440 --> 00:48:15,240
Speaker 1: some of the stuff that appeared in earlier Bond films

913
00:48:15,280 --> 00:48:18,680
Speaker 1: just kind of uh surreptitiously hidden in the in the scene,

914
00:48:18,960 --> 00:48:21,239
Speaker 1: not something that was you know, paraded out in front

915
00:48:21,239 --> 00:48:23,799
Speaker 1: of you, but that That's one of those cool things

916
00:48:23,800 --> 00:48:27,480
Speaker 1: is seeing them pay homage to this rich past that

917
00:48:27,680 --> 00:48:30,960
Speaker 1: James Bond has accumulated, even as they go forward and

918
00:48:31,000 --> 00:48:35,680
Speaker 1: potentially go back and and recreate some of these older stories.

919
00:48:36,160 --> 00:48:38,120
Speaker 1: So it's possible that we'll see some of these older

920
00:48:38,160 --> 00:48:42,040
Speaker 1: stories reimagined in new form um. Some of them may

921
00:48:42,120 --> 00:48:45,560
Speaker 1: just be completely written, you know, from scratch. Some of

922
00:48:45,560 --> 00:48:47,719
Speaker 1: the James Bond films are not based off of any

923
00:48:47,760 --> 00:48:50,719
Speaker 1: flaming novel. But maybe some of the future ones will

924
00:48:50,760 --> 00:48:53,359
Speaker 1: be just reimagined versions of that. Yeah, and I'm really

925
00:48:53,360 --> 00:48:55,880
Speaker 1: curious to see how I mean, as we keep saying,

926
00:48:56,040 --> 00:48:58,839
Speaker 1: as we have been saying throughout these two episodes, Um,

927
00:48:58,920 --> 00:49:01,320
Speaker 1: you know a lot of this stuff that was crazy

928
00:49:01,360 --> 00:49:04,600
Speaker 1: revolutionary sci fi tech in the nineteen sixties is stuff

929
00:49:04,640 --> 00:49:06,840
Speaker 1: that's on our smartphones. Yeah, we just take it for

930
00:49:06,880 --> 00:49:08,960
Speaker 1: granted as we can whip out a phone and do

931
00:49:09,040 --> 00:49:12,319
Speaker 1: exactly what James Bond had to struggle to do back then. Yeah.

932
00:49:12,360 --> 00:49:15,080
Speaker 1: So you know, I'm looking forward to seeing what new

933
00:49:15,239 --> 00:49:18,560
Speaker 1: stuff of these these nice, nice creators come up with

934
00:49:18,600 --> 00:49:22,080
Speaker 1: her Bond to have ridiculous new gadgets in the future. Meanwhile,

935
00:49:22,080 --> 00:49:24,640
Speaker 1: I'm going to see the John d double O seven

936
00:49:24,680 --> 00:49:28,200
Speaker 1: original spy movie. Oh man, I would watch that, except

937
00:49:28,239 --> 00:49:30,160
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure it already came out and it was

938
00:49:30,200 --> 00:49:33,520
Speaker 1: called Hudson Hawk. I was gonna say it was called

939
00:49:33,640 --> 00:49:36,120
Speaker 1: League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. Either way, it's a terrible movie.

940
00:49:36,719 --> 00:49:38,880
Speaker 1: Except in one case it's a terrible movie I enjoy

941
00:49:38,920 --> 00:49:40,880
Speaker 1: and the other one I totally don't enjoy. Can you

942
00:49:40,920 --> 00:49:43,359
Speaker 1: guess which is which? If you can guess which is which,

943
00:49:43,360 --> 00:49:45,120
Speaker 1: why don't you write it and let us know? Or
