2014-11-26
on today's show a Japanese design company wants to build a floating city that can go underwater Mystery Science Theater just got a whole lot easier to watch Thank good oh yeah and Microsoft's newest security guards are robots no don't tase me bro bot tomorrow daily I gotta bring back Batman thank you yes thank you appreciate that thank you hi everybody welcome to tomorrow daily the best geek talk show in the known universe I'm your host Ashley ask Emma joning me as always kill anonymous hello my favorite robot Oh in the universe thanks bro chest bump just don't don't tase me bro bot that's I want a shirt that says that don't take me this robot robot that's the new version of that I'm bringing that taking it back you can have it all right good uh what's up let's just jump right into it see it's a holiday weekend so we got a lot to talk about and they don't let you go time family yeah go hang out with your family let's spend time with us first yes unless then the family and listen to these headlines so this the shimmy zoo shimizu I'm gonna say it's shimizu shimizu corporation in Japan is a very interesting company this is a company that has brought us proposals for things like a floating botanical city and an elevator to space and also moonbase a Sperry specific kind of moonbase okay okay dreamers other dreamers they're back in the news and they propose something equally is awesome and weird and cool as they have done previously they have proposed this sort of floating water city just pretty awesome so there's some concept art here's how it works this right here would be actually what's underneath the city so it's this spiral sort of anchor that would lock the city into the ocean floor and these spirals would be mining the city's energy to make it self-sustaining so get like gases from the ocean like in crevices and stuff very cool all right it would technically be a self-sustaining city it would be in a glass dome like giant glass dome that's where people would live 5,000 people could live in it and in emergencies the city could retract underwater so basically I think they were talking about in big storms you'd be able to sink this giant dome into the water all right um it's not gonna be cheap whoa look at that all right that's a cool angle listen it's not gonna be cheap let's all be real here building an underwater city probably pretty expensive they're estimating it would cost about 25 billion dollars about right according to them and also would take about five years to build now here's the catch though there's a question now is there's a catch Chris I think there's a lot of catch yeah here's the catch the technology doesn't actually exist to build this yet and but but they are very optimistic and they think that for sure the technology to build this underwater city is going to exist in about 15 years and I think my favorite part of this story was the quote from the spokesperson of shimizu who said the astro boy cartoon character had a mobile phone long before they were actually invented in the same way the technology and know-how we need for this project will become available very like matter of fact just kind of like don't worry guys this technology is gonna exist Marler they were flying space vehicles in the movies just surely they're gonna come to him for 15 years yeah I promise I saw this in the Jetsons that's gonna happen like no big deal but yeah that's pretty optimistic about it I think they're overly optimistic would be in the term but that that is it's very cool or listen nicely done nothing wrong with dreaming big yeah doesn't have been wrong would you would you would you you and you would you live in one of those would you like rent out an apartment I think I would stay there if it was a resort I was like a hotel or something right I go on vacation and underwear to stay there that and you this is just for you too so for you how much rent would you be willing to pay well ok wait it was it a resort or an apartment that is now an apartment it's the department I'm just saying that if I I was really into it and I was like gosh I just have to live in the underwater city the dome underwater city and they had all my amenities I didn't have to like take a boat to the shore to go to the grocery store or something look on the boat playing the other yeah i work in there somehow it would work at a retail store or shop or something or host the show right from inside the dome fine but I'm have some fish behind us that'd be great uh i would i would probably pay will it see like what's the cost of like an expensive apartment in like Manhattan it's like you know three grand like two bedroom or something sounds about right ok so I'd say I pay like three grand ok that's not about right ok pay the same is like is like a very I know it's overly expensive you guys but that's how much apartments are there I think I wouldn't do it I wouldn't just there was a dollar I wouldn't do it that yeah that thing looks like it's begging for something to a death trap just like some little brat is gonna like accidentally break a piece of glass combination Bing Bing Bing shatter everyone is now well I mean dolphins will save us cuz dr. Martha there are so intelligent they're way way smarter than us but let's let's say this next article the article that I have for us today I'm very it taps into i would say any nerd or geek that has it baked into their DNA that they are a nerd or geek they have seen mystery science theater 3000 show of course this is uh this is a three guys well one guy hey I cheese and two robots yeah that wouldn't watch old movies and make a fun hilarious commentary over it well before was on TV and up to date it's been pretty hard to like why it can be tough to find certain episodes i would say today's news story is about that it's bad made all that much easier because there is now a website dedicated to it thank you thank you too to vimeo and shout factory you can now go online you can watch them rent them yeah rent them or buy all of them yeah it's download mst3k done downloaded really nicely done website it's a really well-done website so no there's 80 website web there's eight episodes where the episodes that you can download or rent and it's it's 300 300 dollars if you want to buy all of them oh wow that's actually I mean if you've got three hundred bucks kicking around in your if your mystery science theater 3000 Reena dollars is not a lot different unlimited viewings and you get 80 plus episode that's pretty these are really good if you haven't watched it these are really good if you just have your friends over analyze through don't wanna like really dedicate your entire brain to it just kind of like watch it my favorite one is when they did eage which is widely considered to be one of the worst movies ever made it's it's so brilliant it's so funny like highly recommend and I know you can get like there are some VHS rips on YouTube but this is an officially sanctioned like you can either download or rent them and actually you know watch them in feel good about yourself yeah dream is alive and for the launch they've have three episodes on there too so well you gotta go wrong so I mean give it give it a shot if you haven't seen it and if you have it's pretty cheap to know and if you if you've never seen Mystery Science Theater 3000 watch it and then tell us in the comments what you thought of it because I'm really curious to see what younger people who maybe haven't been exposed to it yet think about mystery sighs the thing is that if you're one of the younger people that haven't seen it a lot of the people that you watch these days have been inspired by mr. Issa very true very true promise you this is very true anybody that's doing like anybody that watches video game let's plays where somebody play's a gas pretty much is common fired by that commentary but my comedian thank ya by people that are actually funny a lot of professional lets players cuz I've done it a couple of times I'm terrible good all right well that I was gonna say that brings us to our hashtag of the day this is the thing I'm curious about the hashtag of the day is TD fans oh and I want to know what series deserves an entire website dedicated to it and what features would it have so like what's show or a series of films or whatever it is needs to have its own it websites all like the Simpsons website where's the simpsons world like it would be like that where would have the whole world and then what features you watch any episodes you want it'll have like special features just just the weeks the weeks ok so what's yours i would say for me well I mean I see other thing is is like I'm not a huge fan of I would say like loss would be a good one mm-hmm because a lot of people love that show like I essa Sara Lee not the person who would like go by like a three hundred bucks set for loss but people are really into that show and I think there's so many little pieces of that show that would be really interesting the kind of deep dive into on a website so you got all these like little morsels you like put together things and have it sort of be like this kind of a RPG like alternate reality I'm with you on that and you get it you could have like because the show is over now you could have them film like some of the answers right it's like answer chosen you not like all crazy like how everything she did like I really like that idea of having this sort of very full inside like out like a living encyclopedia the shove that show mine would be the twilight zone oh I love the twilight zone and I know that people now make audio plays of those two yeah they could pop those on the website too so yeah and then there's all kinds of Tanner really broad sailing and yeah it'd be really cool great way to ice okay so hashtag TD fans that's it that's the hashtag that it's quite you're gonna have much better answers than us they well I don't know twilight zone is pretty good um okay so let's talk about Robo security guards because this is the thing that's happening and it's kind of exciting Microsoft of all companies this is not a company you've never heard of this is Microsoft yeah they have taken the first step toward full robot integration on one of their campuses this is really interesting this is from a company actually these robots are from a company called night scope and here they are they're kind of like gold they're really cool looking they're only very r2d2 esque you can see here's some of the here are some of the things they have biological chemical radiation detecting monitoring security mapping I mean they do all kinds of stuff they can check out if there's you know I there there about five feet tall they weigh about 300 pounds they can scan license plates to see if their stolen cars looks like a heat detector type thing it's very secure they have HD cameras they have crazy sensors um you there's no weapons on face recognition no way yeah good thing thankfully yeah but I'm here yeah so they're gonna they're thinking maybe in the future they would equip them with tasers they're saying that at some point they'd like to have these the company that provided these robots would like to have them working alongside police officers like on beat like beat cops it will go down the street and stuff so they go around with cops who are walking something good isn't that like that Fox show that got canceled that sounds like a Turner and hooch situation for me I don't to see that movie of course I oh it's a buddy cop movie where the guy gets paired up with a robot and he hates robots cuff them I don't have hands Oh or snot you're a robot like and it's all it's hilarious asshole yeah it's very it's already cancelled you guys I'm sorry was coming this fall to NBC and now they've canceled it already I wonder if anybody watching this is what is against the the whole Taser robot thing I know Elon Musk is he said that we're probably gonna have said to get we're gonna have a Skynet for sure he's like very scared about that but thats it for our headlines we're going to be afraid of robots with tasers for a little bit for a quick break and then we'll be back we have it into it I'm around them into it before we go on Thanksgiving holiday and then of course we have a not quite your user feedback will explain our phone Jagran for the day so don't click away tomorrow daily welcome back to the show we're back we haven't been tased by robot security guard yet they should get him here in this building I co some security or your alignment for punishment no it's really scary um so every week kalyan i like to talk about the thing we are crazy about and we got some good ones this week so finally we have to talk about ourselves yeah so let's get into it kales favorite part of the week I think every segment I'll be like this is Kayla's favorite is my favorite part yeah this is the part where kill it takes a bathroom break no no he can't you're not allowed you're tethered to that chair all right so what are you into well I am into a little podcast called Sawbones it is really cool it's really fun it is the tag length this is a marital tour of misguided medicine and this is dr. Sidney McIlroy so she's an actual medical doctor and then her husband Justin McElroy who i believe if I'm not mistaken is a writer for he's a video game journalist which is pretty cool oh cool they do this show and it's it's super awesome they talk about all these things in history about medicine and all of the dumb ways that we've tried to fix people so this is it's crazy so they talk about one of their very first episodes was trepanation which is drilling a hole in your head and people used to do that because they thought it was good for you like really weird and so because it will allow your brain to like it was just aeration groceries but they cover really awesome topics they they've covered hysteria which of course is not a real thing but hysteria people thought it was a real thing I've got that yeah okay stereo yeah I've got the vapors that the vapor I've got the thing oh we got the vapors opium I like uses of opium like crazy they did patent medicine so those are the ones were like it's like dr. flibble floor it's like ultra elixir and they explained like how they worked and why they why they got so popular for a while was because there was no they didn't have to provide the ingredient list yeah so they because it was for like medicines they didn't have to provide it and then it was like they didn't have to provide what was in it so people just automatically assumed like okay and then they won't this is AK would include something like that would affect your body for sure like alcohol cocaine morphine or whatever it was like they're having an affair having an effect like it's really interesting it's a it's funny like it's so so funny because the two of them are just like super charming together justin is you know the comedies kind of the he's the wacky one and then Sydney's the straight the straight man is she's looks like no that's not how it works like no they joke around and stuff but it's it's really really funny and I really really enjoy it so and there about 40 minutes each I love that good for a commute I'll of it I love that you picked one of those informational type things if you listen to like stuff you should know where you read websites like that I love weird little tidbits of information which is why this show exists it's that it's basically that it's like our show but podcast form and with medicine and they pick one topic every week so every Friday they have a new episode it's super good I love it what's up the great work Sawbones good job son my commute was in LA really really good and informational yes please shoes shoes summation wish yo super informational and fun and then you get to like it's a good party trick you tell people about like oh there used to be people who drilled holes in their heads for fun like they thought it was good fun of a partier chip yeah i'm really i'm a really weirdo at a party don't don't talk to me swinging parties speaking of my interest is my into it this week is super smash brothers it just came out this last tuesday and it's been on last friday last Friday oh yeah in all weekend and it's been it's been all that's been going on in my house and the reason I bring it up is because it's like the biggest Nintendo thing right now people so I'm almost half a million copies yes 710 oh great everyone thought Nintendo was down and out like a year ago I never did nope it's it was just on a break and I believed so I want to I wanted to bring this up because you know if you're looking to give somebody has a wii u and your family and I think this is an essential game to have it's a it's a fun little party games by to play with you it's an absolute must by Phil we yeah then they have those little of me bows that you can buy I have a vivos but I use them in mario kart more than I do you're not even gonna buy super smash brothers it's like the best you know Jane I just have been okay listen guys I got really obsessed with using the amoebas in Mario Kart because i like the costumes and so I have a Samus costume and I'm racing in that it looks awesome and again I've just been crushing everybody because I'm so good at mario kart so there you go you know you bring that up like every other episode I know it's and I will continue to do so because I am well although I will say this producer Logan is is coming up he's a true challenger in Mario Kart you guys haven't even seen me erase I don't need you I don't know but I think I figured you out think I've heard you out anyway so smash brothers at least give it give it a try it's it's actually it's come around to be one of the most solid games franchises and yeah it's a lot of fun I play as zero suit your character you play zero suit samus cuz she's quick samus is probably one of my favorite Nintendo characters yeah time didn't know she was a girl for the longest time well at the end of metroid turkish it off now yeah but people didn't even like it didn't even register people never actually finish the game I would eat their words too much for them so that's what we're into let us know if you're if you do either of those things who do you play as in smash smash brothers and are you any good I am NOT and I'll at least admit it kill a minute there you go i'm not i'm not gonna smash rather gentle yeah that's why you're terrible cuz we should play can be terrible at it I jump off the edge on purpose not on purpose sometimes on purpose uh so this would normally be the time we did user feedback so let's do it no because uh I'll just get it sorry no just go to go with it okay so I know because here's
