are making some really awesome 8-bit light art Oh what's your dad yeah it's gonna be awesome tomorrow daily greetings citizens of the internets welcome to tomorrow daily the best Keith talk shows own universe I'm your host Ashley sceva joining me as always punching the sky on a Monday kill anonymous hey how's it going it's great yeah to some really long weekends super long weekend yeah I didn't go to do something but you did I'm producer Logan did yeah thanks a lot i got my evil selfie shirt on thanks for inviting me sorry it's just you know it's really hard to take you places it's true the line it's just putting him in the stroller as a nightmare it's like horrible I'm a kid it's the worst uh so it's December first and I'm pretty excited because that means the holidays is here which goes right into our first story so let's hit that one so we all know that amazon delivers stuff in a their chain of like delivery is crazy good we all know this yeah today i was going to order something and it's like if you order within the next hour you get it today yeah i don't say like you get a 9pm which is madness well amazon just unveiled their next-gen eighth generation fulfillment centers these are their warehouses so therefore film and centers are the place where all your stuff comes from so when you are things on Amazon these so these are the robots here they are their little robots and they're helping out they're adorable they're super super adorable um they look almost like a Roomba except I remember that brings you stuff this is a company called kiva systems that amazon actually acquired a couple of years ago they acquired them in 2012's a robotics company they can move really tall stacks of people's stuff around the warehouse we're just kind of awesome it's what you're seeing right now there you see this one's gonna move out it's got a whole rack full of product there's like a pan or something in there some kitchen product um so there are 10 of these centers around the u.s. right now there's major cities I'm assuming uh well not necessarily actually a lot of times these fulfillment centers are in suburbs of major cities Oh affordable space perch it will space I mean it's like they gotta have these huge you know hundred thousand foot warehouse I mean I heard a thousand square foot warehouse is crazy so they but they're here and they're eight jet these are their eighth generation fulfillment center they also have this other thing called which I really like it's this arm called the Robo stow what we're watching the robots kind of run around that the the robusto arm is this gigantic yellow arm that is like in the middle of the warehouse and it pulls out large like taped up you know they put like a plastic sort of wrap around multiple box oh there it is there it is yeah here you go so it can pull out like giant chunk of people's products and bring them down one of those in there is there multiple ones of those in there look at this place yeah see these are the kinds of facilities this is the type of space that they need an Amazon to make sure all your stuff gets it's really amazing kind of see the insides of these places and realize like my s microSD card came from there and like nobody lost it it came on time it's like really I'm always appreciative after seeing exactly how they go through and process all of these things you really don't think often a lot about how awesome the process and hire stuff gets to you so is she with the speed that they do it the robots yeah that's that's this is basically I sent this to inefficient its food for thought when you're buying stuff on Cyber Monday yeah and especially just even for the holidays like you everybody buys stuff and you know you do see a lot of people get obviously very upset when their packages don't come on time because these are gifts for the friends and family and loved ones but you also to remember like this is a huge process for a lot of these companies to transmit and even just get everything how do things just not end up in the wrong boxes all the time how do they not get right people I mean it's really amazing and a testament to how great shipping has kind of become even though obviously we've all had issues with my terrible shipping across all carriers like there's nobody in particular but I always have bad experiences but it's really amazing that it doesn't happen more often if you watch something like that it's just how do they not just lose my little frustration-free packaged micronus you don't get it on time ya know it so it's always comes next day and now they want to do drones so let yeah who knows how drones might work with that but I guess 15,000 these robots are at Amazon center piece of thousand eight each one or I no no I think it's spread out all over so it's probably about 1,500 be very curious to find out the robot to human ratio in each of those well there's a lot of people that get hired for the holidays I think I saw an article saying that they were higher you know thousands of new people to help fulfill at amazon a thousands of new people to help orders and then a lot of those people actually end up getting hired full time so that's cool it's temporary and a lot of people end up to now rolling out a new a full-time job right what some time Jeff medical dental all right so this story you said I can't have it but i think i might you can't but we'll work something out this is a little tiny story to kind of like just you know if you're a huge gamer and you like being on the move this is called Charlie pass now basically Charlie passes is this dealer a seller seller a dealer Giada seller who is selling a giant gaming trailer that has 25 consoles in it and it's a mobile gaming trailer and yes they can play the video games cuz they each other Alana day they have their own monitor so here's the breakdown 24 people can fit in it it has 25 xbox 360 consoles sorry not next-gen 20 I it has 24 I'm sorry has 25 24 inch 1080p monitor okay so we could game in high def yeah you can game it high def with and then they it has turtle beach headsets and tritton headset so legitimate headsets good yeah good headsets not just chintzy stuff you can get a best buy for networks so and all of this is available for forty nine thousand dollar forty nine thousand forty nine thousand dollars sorry I wasn't make sure you heard that it comes from a struct I'll write it comes with the truck AKA 2006 ford f250 4 door turbo diesel truck okay so come to a track they said it's worth the trucks were the 18 thousand dollars okay so that's you know you're adding value there well ok so that's the starting bid but what if i wanted to just say you know what I'm gonna buy it right now obviously kale and I clearly rich billionaires yeah I secret rich billionaires of course not so secret anymore but ok I'm ready I just want to buy it now I would click on the button how much well that's why I got only got forty nine thousand i have the price what if there's a buy it now what is the buy it now seventy nine thousand dollars wait with oh the beginning bid was yet opening benes 4879 thousand dollars right out the gate they may have 80,000 they just loan us because we're not only cuz we're doing great uh something else to think about is that there's 1,000 games in the light the xbox 360 library that they're offering that's pretty funny games okay so let's say I buy this okay let's say I pay eighty thousand say I just can't wait I got to just buy this truck and trailer so pay 80 grand then I got to upgrade to xbox one I'll games for that we're saying it's gonna cost 10k to upgrade it to the xbox see that's too that's that's it's an extra value that it's an extra cost that I don't know that I could take but I was a billionaire Charlotte pet Charlie passes trying to tell you you should rent it out for birthday parties and smart and participants experts are gonna say Charlie pass don't tell me what to do all right I want to go across the country and play like Forza on the way yeah love you man sec 03 amazing um that actually brings us to our hashtag a day oh alright which I really I like this one I think you guys are gonna come up with some really great wacky ideas TD trailer is the hashtag of the day we want to know if you could have a trailer filled with one thing only to entertain you for the rest of your life what would it be to entertain you for the rest of your life okay what do you got um for me I think it would be I think it would be I will be a console but I don't know if I could pick um maybe like a playstation 2 cuz you have to do right now you can't do them like the potential so so ps4 we may be like 10 games that are to be really really good that's probably a game no just entertain you ok you can have a chat I was gonna trailer full I was gonna say you could have a trailer full kittens yeah gif kitties of ya of uh Lisa can I have a pool in there i would that would be only thing but filled with like different like a different substance so like maybe Joe then you just want to suck the trailer below the yellow yeah tell him with jello and then walk into it that's the only entertainment kills gonna half the rest is like walking around I don't want to pay for a trailer full of gross jello and he's only gonna get more disgusting over time yeah let us know what I saw your trailer with and have a good time with and yeah yeah and how much you pay for it I keep it clean folks keep it clean I shouldn't have to tell you but I just you know some of you out there might have some more adult proclivities but we won't read them out a lot on the show we might enjoy them we might laugh we will probably laugh we'll definitely laughs I'm gonna think about that for a while while you do the next one okay let me tell you about these barcode paintings these are pretty cool these are little robots that can make these awesome 8-bit paintings out of long exposure photography so okay light paintings which is really neat so here they are these are the little robots they are called phi mios and this is from Switzerland this is a company called thymio thymio robots and so here's the design so you can see they showed them really quickly and then they're going to do this long exposure photography these robots are running on this these strips of paper ok so these strips of paper have black and white gradients on it and the gradient lets the robot correct course quicker and continuously like so very very quickly will it do that and and as opposed to getting way off track and then having to come back to a solid black line so there there's another light sensor underneath it that reads a barcode next to the gradient line that tells the robot what color it should be and when to turn off and stuff yeah and so the robot moves along the line and changes color based on commands and so here you can see some of the this is lights right this is long exposure so you can see is Allah it's this light light art so is it mario created by a robot it's a me mario haha so that definitely paintings made and it's really really cool because all of the software and templates for these tracks and these you know these designs are all available for download for free so Tommy is like um apparently and I didn't know this this these little robots are actually really popular in Switzerland I was about to ask yeah so how do you get one of these robots and like there are a hundred and twenty-five bucks for a robot and they apparently have a very deep continually developing community like so there oh wait people are always developing for these robots like they're relatively inexpensive in terms of like programming your own robot and apparently very popular with Lacob kids so like these are good like starter robots to have kids like program little like programs and stuff for these robots that's fantastic it's really neat I don't know what everyone else at anybody else is done but well the price of them is really interesting because they're designed by EPFL in switzerland and so they don't actually make money like they don't make a lot of money off of them it really the point is is to get them out there to help educate like which is really neat I'm very noble cause but I mean it's got to pay for you know obviously like the robots production and everything so there is a price tag attached to it but it's really neat that they're they're not you know this major corporation that's like squeezing every day more profit out of these robots jeebus but now they just want people to learn and then in the process maybe you know make enough money to make another you know level robot or whatever in the future so it's pretty neat well that's cool yeah I'm gonna have to check out what really it's called them and like I said it's called fine me o th why am i oh so if you want to check that out if anybody has one let us know and yeah but you had one that sent us a video because their stuff stuff yeah you do but for right now we're gonna take a quick 30 second break we'll be right back with a back at her hackett that feels like it was literally tailor-made for kale ooh um and then we also of course have your user feedback from not only one but two shows last week and and of course our phone target for the day so don't click away tomorrow daily welcome back welcome back to the show kale I you seem really excited yeah because you know me well enough to know what I like and I get excited I'm excited so to hear that there is a Kickstarter tailor-made for you has to be really exciting oh of course so let's just jump right into backorder hackett guys there is a pizza bed Oh Dennis exists so the pizzas so long world that girl just like I'm all right so what is this okay so this is a Kickstarter um it's technically it's it's the house decoration so get this for your bedspread but there it is this pizza bed right there what I have to kick-start where they just make this well I think because you gotta you have to digitally print the fabric which can be expensive so one of the things that I'm always one of the etsy sites that I really like is actually just to go off on a slight tangent is this really cool clothing maker who takes NASA and like high res NASA images because their public use yeah and she sends them off to a fabric printer and digitally gets Prince of like nebulas and like all kinds of crazy stuff that we have to take in high def photography for in space and then makes like infinity scarves and dresses and things from those prints good Christmas gift really really cool so um so this I would imagine is in the same vein so let's go back and let's check this out so here is the pizza bed gone on the website so here's the the fitted mattress is marinara sauce no way yeah of course it's a real pizza so it's um it's the greatest thing ever so they have this little diagram so they have the marinara sauce fitted sheets oh my gosh sheets and then of course you have to the crust the crust is your pillows and then the duvet cover is is pizza is it your cheese and pepperoni topping so you're kind of a topping a little bit you are yeah it's a little bit of a hue you're the human topping inside the pizza under the cheese though so I guess you'd be some kind of like I don't know like an onion you know I already have troubles getting in trouble getting out of bed so and now it's a pita now you okay so give me the details give me the details of this okay so here's the price if you want the actual it comes in a pizza that comes in a pizza box the original pizza bed see that's part of the Kickstarter they gotta get it okay so um if you want the full set the early backer twin pizza bed so just for twin size bed is a hundred bucks okay what's up oh yeah if you want a full or queen size pizza bed is 125 bucks that's early early backer yeah if you want a king size bed early backer as 150 those are really good prices reasonable considering if you go to like Bed Bath & Beyond a king size bed set is like three hundred dollars yeah again any organizing about thread count ladies and gentlemen um but still ya know that's super cool I love it I mean it's beautiful guests like if you have guests that stay over and you planned your pizza you're like you're getting pizza tonight like it seems really funny course are they um ok so what they want is they want they want a lot of money they want a hundred twenty-five thousand eight hundred and forty-eight dollars that's a very specific why not just ask for 126 okay so how much they got right now but they just started this so they only have 3,300 almost 3400 so you guys anybody interested in pizza bed now's your chance this is not happening you know you could do you could back this and print out the back our thing and give it to somebody as a gift for the holidays that's true I could do that and say well that's what you can do whenever it gets delivered which is you know supposedly I don't know next well January 2015 so it's not not that far off for februari the early backers it's like deliveries in like two months I like all of those uh this and then the printing the you said that was like that see the person that printed out yeah I love all like giving somebody one of those gifts cuz it's gonna be like something interesting different like I'm not gonna get are the person who has everything yeah it's for the person that doesn't have a pizza you have some other options too if you'd like to help the pizza bed come to fruition but don't actually want it's pretty much like a shared a pizza bed you could do this which I really like you get pizza themed tattoos you get little cards this is pizza handwritten thank you note the one thing I really liked is the hundred dollars or more you get the ultimate pizza bed topping which is a handmade cross-stitch dressed in pizza pillow God erudis rest in pizza rest in pizza I want to put that on your tombstone gonna make a little note that what I'm dead note to self when kale meets his inevitable doom put rest in pizza on his grave it's great on your headstone I want to make sure it is in the shape of a slice you should have saved this for like a pizza episode like on my birthday or something I'm sorry well then it would have been over by then Kickstarter and over but yeah pizza bed so there you go also thank you to Alec who sent this to us he he was the one who alerted us to the pizza beds existence yeah we have like one actual user submitted story like a day so it's pretty cool people are actually like sending in to all ideas and stuff so Thank You Alec but now it's time of course for your user feedback now you are today's user feedback everybody just wants pizza no I'm kidding so last week we asked you guys use two different hashtags on two different shows TV meme to tell us what meme you'd want to see come to real life and TV fans tell us what show you would want a whole website dedicated to with lots of in-depth coverage so let's do TD meme really quick okay we got two really good ones Caleb sent us a tweet and said because who doesn't want free Wi-Fi everywhere all the time hashtag t do you mean that's great I love that what's a good one and then Kylie wrote jason said i love a way to let people make the rage comic faces for real oh yeah just like flip it on yeah just slip on and then all of a sudden your face turns in drew my only Pony thing yeah it smile upon anybody with all the trophies yeah are you if you're listening you're missing some you're really missing out on some great visuals okay so TV fans we asked you guys to tell us what TV show or franchise would you want a whole website dedicated to in honor of Mystery Science Theater getting its own website and also you know Simpsons world has launched and that's like pretty exciting for a lot of people I've got some for you too became you do some YouTube and then we'll get into tweaks uh free think Cosmo not says TV he says adventure time that's a good one great answer any website would be trippin it would be really trippy but it also have like a lot of little nuggets of like fun facts and like they would make it really the scroll bar on the side should be Jake looks like it's a lot gated body I'd you scroll down I like okay uh do you want me to do another one I do Lamar okay PQ 7x + 21 an excellent user name says Stargate I'll be pretty cool I happy like me do you have to have one that's deep by a Star Trek would be another really good so many different series David Robinson says Chuck needs an official site I love child be good sean MC ad says all things Hitchcock that's a really good oh man he stuck with my Twilight fives it was that man even just one even just a site dedicated like vertigo would be um no oh yeah I would you just deep fall into the rabbit hole last 1i got his mark Cook says the leftovers deserves its own site that

even blizzard has like creatures literal little job is like lore master of Warcraft like they know everything about Warcraft I want that job it's a pretty awesome gig so um yeah I would imagine that
