2016-08-08
welcome to Cali the best peacock show in the known universe until next Thursday I'm Ashley Scott I'm Jeff kanata don't be worried about the universe it's us that's going away but we have something cool coming we do but right now what's coming is headlines I thought that was what the cool thing was but if you're addicted to getting tattoos maybe just maybe you could consider getting a tattoo from a robot to French designers are currently in residence at Pier 9 in San Francisco and this is one of their creations teaching an industrial robot arm to tattoo human skin isn't exactly easy you'd have to make a model of the area of the skin to be tattooed designed the actual tattoo art on that model and then let the robot get to work did we mention the recipient needs to be restrained to keep their body still obviously this would be huge for tattoo shops who want robots to complete simple designs for clientele but we aren't sure whether we are ready to strap ourselves down for some fresh ink from a robot or not well I guess if robots are doing surgery I might as well let them do this here those little mustaches on hipsters their fingers that's oh man sees all right all that robots do the simple stuff and the stuff that tattoo artists hate doing right there listen there's some tattoo artists out there that watch the show you know exactly what I'm talking about the little arrows on people's fears and like the the semicolons like don't do that some Joker is gonna have a robot tattoo a barcode on him and it'll be like a heartbeat it'll be carrying that out exactly I'm a big fan of electric cars but this electric car it's got some pizzazz meet the Nissan blade glider this was unveiled as a concept a few years ago and now Nissan is showing off a working prototype it seats three people with reverse butterfly doors that spread open like flapping wings the seating is designed like a triangle with the driver in the center front while two passengers can sit side by side in the back based on battery size and motor ability it looks like the range could be around over a hundred mile miles making it a unique looking option for electric car enthusiasts in the future no release date or pricing yet but we're curious to see how the blade glider evolves as it nears commercial release I just want to be able to say they're like what kind of car is that it's a blade glider yeah fine it's no big deal it just sounds so cool it does sound super cool if if I'm the fourth guy who can't fit in the car and I have to juggle aside it I'm the Blade Runner Oh played runners the thing that is the most perfect joke I've ever heard my life like I love I'm not proud of it much you should I was really entertained um what do you think we should talk about on Thursday there's kind of both really good choices I kind of I kind of feel like the audience is gonna have more to say about rowboat ads okay I I think you guys should use the hashtag hey TD on Twitter and tell us what tattoo you would get if a robot was giving it yeah what is the perfect robot tattoo and we'll think about it - and will - all talk about it on Thursday we'll reconvene during our deep dive episode well um so that being said it is now time for our phone talker for the day today's phone talker for the day is Jay who took this fiery photo with a galaxy s7 edge yeah Jay wrote to us and said hey Jeff and Ashley my name is Jay I've been watching your show for about 200 episodes and I'm sorry that this will all come to an end I've commented several times on the show but this is the first time I'm sending a font ography entry I'm a 20-year veteran Beach lifeguard at Jacob Riis park in Rockaway Queens New York City I took this picture a few days ago at 5:45 in the morning with my galaxy s7 edge as the Sun was rising on our morning workout when most people think of Queens they don't think of the Atlantic Ocean see that lifeguard chair on the right that's my office and this is my view you definitely have my permission to use this photo love Jay amazing photo first of all it's gorgeous color yeah but what a life this guy leads what a cool job that's really awesome I love that you have done this for 20 years you're a lifeguard veteran 20 years I mean I can't imagine how many people you've saved from sharks probably a lot they're not really on the only uh Jay thanks so much for watching for soul we got weight don't worry we're gonna have awesome content for you don't you worry more stuff um but just because tomorrow daily is ending next Thursday does not mean you can't send in your phone tog Rafi before the end of the show you can email it to tomorrow at cnet.com yeah we our our theme for these last few episodes is the best photo you have ever taken ever we would love to see the photo you're most proud of all you got to do is send it to us tell us what device you took it on give us permission to use it on the show tell us how to pronounce your name and be sure to give us a little story as to why you think it's your favorite or best proud photo come on Jay did a really good job another great example you're a great great role model for all the budding and aspiring photographers out there that is it for today's show we will be back tomorrow with a brand new docket of science faculty in science fiction uh you can find us online tomorrow daily comm all that stuff but pick us up on social media and individuals because that's when you see our cool stuff later and see net social media uh but until then be good human
