greetings citizens of the internet welcome to tamale the best seat talk show in the known universe and it's 400 episode watch I'm Geoff Canada hundred episodes we have a live studio audience yes we are shutting down the show if you existed on Thursday Justin time is the we've worn it in a few we've hit our limit yeah well we're spinning down the show if you missed it on Thursday show our last term our daily will be August 18th um this week we have four short episodes because producer Logan is living it up in Hawaii nice so you guys can give a shout out to producer Stephanie who's out there but for now let's do the headlines maybe Jack White of the White Stripes isn't the person you think of when you think of the edge of space but maybe you should early last month Jack White's record label Third Man Records launched a small craft with an unusual ability into the skies he was able to play a vinyl record during its trip into the upper reaches of our atmosphere it's called the Icarus craft and it reaches altitudes of about ninety four thousand feet before heading back down to earth Third Man Records consultant Kevin carico designed the craft with help from a group called students and teachers in near space and if you're wondering what song was playing during the trip it was a remix of Carl Sagan's a glorious dawn which is of course available on Third Man Records website to buy this is cool man it's kind of like the golden record Redux right yeah it's one it's inspired by the idea of the golden record on Voyager which has a whole bunch of stuff on it including a Hello in a bunch of different languages I believe Chuck Berry Johnny be hood is on that this is a really nice sort of homage to that and keeping in with the Carl Sagan spirit is there anything more hipster than vinyl in space I think not vinyl is here I think you might be right I think you might be right patients in wheelchairs may be excited about another way to access even more mobility check out rip chair 3.0 it's been around for a few months but we noticed it last week and wanted to talk about how cool it is it is made by how and how technologies and offers offroading to the disabled giving a user the chance to go where a typical wheelchair can't its gas-powered and holds a full sized wheelchair inside it so a driver never has to leave their own chair to use this vehicle they're fully customizable including options for various control schemes winches and even storage space making it a great option for anyone looking to enjoy the outdoors in a big way that's pretty amazing stuff you know actually I've always wondered why there weren't more things where you could just take your wheelchair into it and then it goes almost like a mech like kind of like a very sort of basic version of a mech like this seems like such a cool thing and I love that this is giving people who are in wheelchairs the opportunity to really enjoy the outdoors in a way that might be considered a little bit dangerous if you're in a standard wheelchair it's awesome stuff yeah totally cool that videos wild we're not doing a deep dive on Thursday but what we should so we will just say send us some tweets about these topics because we're dying to know what record you would send into space then be no man's sky soundtrack oh yeah very soon through I am a bit calm which I bought I have a real ever real vinyl videogame vinyl problem very niche problem hipster problem so you I probably sent Purple Rain but that's so purple rain of course well you got to have the aliens realize we are very talented yeah they will just send us love and return Purple Rain back kills us sorry it's like it's what they wanted you can always use a hashtag hey TD on Twitter for those tweets so you know you're talking
