on today's show maglev elevators might change the way we travel inside buildings in just two short years and a new interactive zombie movie shows you if you can survive the zombie apocalypse and we have a Japanese competition that's looking to crown the world's worst robot you're not kill it's tomorrow daily greetings citizens to the internet welcome to tomorrow daily the best geek talk show of the known universe I'm your host Ashley together joining me today our very special guest Tom Triana's here how's going good glad to be here it's awesome I we're excited to have you uh kale is kales on a super secret mission I'm assuming he's performing some manner of weird kale pizza espionage I don't know he could he said he couldn't say a whole lot about it sounds delicious it must be delicious delicious espionage um but he'll be back tomorrow but for now we've got taught here Tom tell us a little bit about yourself so that everybody can be your best friend I my name is Tom tranel stand-up comedian I live here in Los Angeles I'm a writer I'm a producer I took a job at apple just because somebody told me that I couldn't challenge accepted took a job at apple worked at the store just for a couple years just to hang out cuz it turned out I spend more time at the store anyway and I was like why don't they just pay me and they did and then I went on tour doing stand-up comedy for a few months we just did a 15 country tour this year so it's good to be back to Los Angeles for a little while and also I if you could not tell by his shirt he's a huge nerd this is why i'm hot and it's a fire flower from mario i also love rap music hence this is why i'm hot I like it I like the mashup so are you ready to talk about some headlines do this alright let's do it okay so unless you live under a rock you've probably written in an elevator goes up and down pretty straightforward hasn't really changed ever since they were invented with the exception of maybe two car elevator shafts where you can have two different elevator cars moving in the same elevator shaft uh this German company is looking to change all of that which is really really cool and exciting and futuristic which we always love on this show this is a german company named Theissen kripp they want to make two axes travel possible so the big issue with kind of innovating elevators it's kind of weird to say would be cables so that's what elevators run by it's a cable system this particular thing would be a no cable system this would be removing cables from the equation which is kind of neat they look to the Star Trek turbolifts as a consideration yeah really really cool the turbolifts and so this is called the multi elevator and this is a concept video that they released earlier today I saying this is how it would work these are our plans this is how we want this elevator kind of work together and they say a lot of people are going to be living in these like mega cities in the future and if buildings are shaped like this which if you're just listening they're shaped like a bunch of Legos smashed together then you would have to have elevators that moved left and right as well as up and down and so that's the point of these elevators now is watching this and this is what I'm concerned with the the photo they showed of that building looked like an architect doing a drunk jenga game yeah yeah those buildings do not look sound to me they do not look like they are going to stay up no I mean and if you've been a little Las Vegas a Luxor has the pyramid hotel not this way right which by the way not awesome for a bunch of drunks in Las Vegas can be going parallel yeah I don't uh I've written that elevator also may be intoxicated I may or may not have been and it is terrifying because the floor is moving diagonally upwards I just very strange if you're not paying attention you're very much like I don't is gravity not what something terrible's yeah it was awful to happen yeah so um but they say that this multi elevator would be be more efficient it would carry more people it would have a shorter wait times and it would also have a smudge smaller elevator shaft meaning they could add more of these elevators or even you know more more office space or whatever it is that you would have available well I feel like this is one of those situations where science fiction or fiction is becoming reality or emily is because with the turbolift this is the first step in creating the enterprise because you're going to need a helmet it goes left right up down right right and that's I see I really like this it's really exciting and it's super fun uh you know the cool thing about this is it's actually in development right now they're saying a prototype is going to open when this German building opens in 2016 there's a building that they're actually working on this project in right now so this is going to be a reality supposedly in a couple years so hopefully in a 22 year span ki you know killing her maybe tom novy traveling over Jeremy let's check out these elevators speaking of Las Vegas you know what would have helped this whole project move on when Las Vegas was redoing a downtown area they actually wanted to build the enterprise a full-scale model enterprise hotel guys in Las Vegas this would have been amazed nice and crept really missed that was an opportunity missed yeah the true opportunity Vegas was behind it they had an architect it was all ready to go this would have been perfect I would have been really fun well ok so speaking of fun you have to tell me about this interactive zombie movie I got to play it this morning and it's pretty awesome yeah so I checked it out it's an interactive Dombey film it's a feature film really high quality when I watch it at first i read up on it I thought to myself a five minute movie that teaches teaches you how to survive the apocalypse that's a little doesn't make sense because I can last five minutes in the zombie apocalypse after that I'm dog meat but it's very cool it's optimized for your tablets definitely a lot more fun on your tablet but a filmmaker who clearly got a lot of help from the g-shock folks because as yeah lots of g-shock close-ups in this g-shock is definitely featured in this it teaches you to use your memory and your memory will help follow the story along and you can get up to three lives if you fail like maybe I did you get to restart but you get to do make Shay circles zigzag which is why the tablet is the best way to do it i mean they did it on a screen it's real easy to play on a touch screen it's a little bit tougher on a touch pad if you're playing on like a laptop yeah cuz you only have a little tiny bit of space yeah but you watching the film you're the one that follows it along and it's I was watching it and playing it and all I kept thinking is this is like Boy Scout camp intense it was crazy you the music the sim autauga fee the quality of it was amazing it's very good and it's fun it's fun and it's brought to you by filmmaker named Maximilian Neiman so good job Maximilian Neiman now are you in the Romero Walking Dead camp of slow zombies are you in the 28 days later fast runnings out oh you know I like a challenge so I'm gonna say I'm like I love me some classic Romero zombie but I just I really love that fast-moving like tear their way scarier because they can catch you it's like I feel like I could just always get on a bicycle and like right away from yeah but the problem is when the Romero zombie is horde up on you that's when things get crazy that's true that's true but then it's like you know World War Z they're all super fast there and diseased and then they like climb up like ants like you know like you know it's like crazy I like that like my in-laws hey I just said that so our last story today made me laugh so much this is this is a competition in Japan you guys that is looking for the worst robot in the world so it's a robot sumo wrestling competition it's called hip hippo con and it's in Japan and it's made for people who have no idea how to make robots so if you're watching the footage you can see all of these absolutely terrible robots made out of things like food containers and like the one there's just got a broken leg it's over the goal is to make worst robot possible there were 31 entrants it was in july of this year but they just released the footage for the japanese media arts festival week ago so now we are getting to delight in all of these awful awful robots so it's really funny that the the lower the translation is just hilarious the subtitling is just like these are crappy robots and they're the worst look it's pole dancing Barbie robot you can pull dancing Barbie that I'd say is an awesome rope I wasn't insane amazing robot and then we got these about this one's like a train rain robot and crane help knocked it over it's over I but all of these robots are very very different there's one is literally a dustpan that's a dustpan we've in like this one just seems too i don't i don't even think it knows what it's doing it's just swiping the air this one looks like a ball of Kali clay get cotton maybe let that looks like an egg just look a little egg and then one with like a pan it's just very strange but but my favorite robots are of course there there are a few standouts all of the barbie what is that oh wow whoa whoa whoa whoa I don't know what's happening in this shot that is insane guys it this is the thing to watch on the show today for just listening this is absolutely the footage you want to be watching it's no words can describe there's this this robot that doesn't do anything unless it's moving down a plank yeah this is the robot I believe this one right here on the left the dislike hexagon actually was the one that one because it literally did nothing but be really heavy and big and all the that one right there that's disturbing that's a tissue box with personal massagers yes to it personal massager legs but yeah the robot that ended up winning was that big giant one that looked like a big box and it did nothing it did absolutely nothing it just SAT there and and the guy who once said I actually feel ashamed to have one because I won with this terrible terrible robot it was pretty great pretty great and the announcers of the very beginning even admit crappiness Trump's strategy that's a quote from their video which is fantastic what a great tag line for a robot competition it's really good I feel like we should end our next year I would like to see Rosie the robot and go up against Johnny Five from short circuit don't see what happens well ok so that brings me to our question of the day which is if our hashtag nice TD bad bot and the question is what's the lamest robot you can think of lamest robot I can think of one that breaks my remote control of its on fox news for more than five minutes no that is a pretty lame robot I would say like I could just think of a robot with a bro like with a broken leg that just walks in circles does absolutely nothing just keeps going in circles notes battery dies like what what a talent that is or a robot that burns toast for no other reason than to burn it fair enough fair enough it just burns toast like it's called my toaster that's the robot that burns to her for me but you guys get bonus points you use Photoshop make a really terrible robot and send it over to us because I think that would be amazing um that's it for the first half of the show and went by so quickly yes it did we're going to come back with new releases because it's Tuesday and then of course we also have user feedback and your phone toggle for the day so don't click way to our daily hey everybody we're back welcome back to the show i'm here with tom tramp stamp comedian hey all around funny guy super nerd super nerd old all the great things like we said kill kill be back tomorrow super secret Pizza espionage I don't know um diese bring some back with him i would i would hope so you're gonna keep my fingers crossed um but it's Tuesday and since you're not normally here on Tuesdays we like to talk about all the great things that are coming out during the week for people to check out so this is new releases so first up we have the next kind of chapter in the game of thrones universe which is pretty cool it's telltale games game it's telltale games Game of Thrones Game say it again so really that much telltale games Game of Thrones Game um it's called iron from Isis episode 1 it looks amazing they have pretty much everybody from the original cast the actual game of thrones cast doing voiceover for this if you have ever played a telltale Game before like The Walking Dead or you've played the wolf among us you know how good their games are they're usually a lot of conversation and kind of you know a little bit of a choose-your-own-adventure vibe right like interactive choose your adventure and this actually goes into the Bolton's storyline with with Roose Bolton and you know what like there's like a cynic another house that we maybe haven't really been introduced to in the show but then they are they get into Ramsay Snow's kind of a Ramsay Bolton i should say his storyline and a lot of that stuff it's supposed to be really really good I'm really looking forward to this one and you can get it on quite a few platforms you can get it on xbox one xbox 360 playstation 4 playstation 3 and pc so it's a lot of different ones that I'm assuming ipad and android tablets will follow so it's pretty awesome um I do have you dig big game of thrones fan I'm about to say something that may get me thrown out of the nerd Club it's gonna be no and that means he you're gonna actually not I know I haven't started watching the show because I've decided I can't get emotionally invested in a program until I know how long it's gonna run fair enough okay i just watched Deadwood oh that's such a good shot shows been over since it was illegal and creepy to like fantasize about Kristen Bell yeah oh that's true wow it's been a long time yeah it wasn't it canceled in 2004 2004 yeah wow yeah but I need to know this relationships gonna last for a while I think it's gonna last I think you might be okay I don't know I thought the same thing about revolution I just found out that got canceled yikes maybe you're right yeah well I think a lot of people felt that way about Firefly and we all know how that ended five or six seasons in I will L will binge-watch you binge it out yeah alright I like it the next game on our list is of my personal favor at my pic of the week captain toad treasure tracker mm-hmm I'm a little bit obsessed with captain toad it's about time toad got his own I agree captain Cano p oh we gotta get we gotta get on board of him that's his japanese names Kenobi oh so we gotta get on board with captain toad he is treasure tracker I love that Nintendo kind of picked out the in Super Mario 3d World you're able to do these levels there little treasure levels where you get stars and they made his own game based on that because it was so fun and it was so different and cool and it's getting great reviews and I am really looking forward to getting that on Friday for my wii u um from a marketing standpoint this is what I have to tell intend oh I was very excited about this and then I read the actual description and it says and I'm quoting the features equipped with nothing more than a neck scarf a backpack and oversized head lamp not doing a great job convincing with the tote is a superhero get out your neckerchiefs everybody get out Joe neckerchiefs I'm excited yeah I am excited I'm not gonna I'm i am so real about captain toad it's not even funny and then lastly i actually missed this last week but i've been hearing incredible things about this and i'm a big fan of horror movies so the babadook is out in theaters at right now you can go see it and I've just heard nothing but this is a great horror film it really like take some turns you don't you don't expect looks absolutely terrifying um and i don't know i'm really i'm a sucker for a good horror movie so i watched the trailer and I was honest to god creeped out it's really creepy yeah the trailer is weird and like it's said that she reads from this book and it's called the babadook and it's this monster and all his stuff in and then of course like terrible things start happening around the book creo notes the babadook he's coming to kill us um but yeah it's uh it really fascinating i want to see it and it looks really good and kind of like almost indie like but it looks smart smartly written very good horror what wheeler what was cool about it was they released it on directv first and then released in theaters so as it was exclusive to direct TV for a while which is the way that the industry is going the streaming technology it's kind of like hey its exclusive here first and then you can watch it in theaters or or like well we've seen a lot of them have like documentaries and stuff come out did he want to man first and then and then based on I think the Giro per reported that to the video the movie fiction not a documentary wish it was real but ya know they did that too they they released it on video on demand it did so well that they did a theatrical release if you want a good like maybe poop your pants a little bit horror movie this looks like the one watched it watch the trailer it looks pretty good and I'm often disappointed by horror movies so I'm looking forward to actually seeing i'm actually looking very forward to seeing this awesome well we should all go see it together this weekend and all pooper pants together okay well it is now time for your user feedback so we had our hashtag of the day earlier in the show we do that every day and yesterday we asked everybody to tell us I to use the hashtag TT trailer to tell us what they would have a trailer full of as their only entertainment for the rest of their life okay so cuz there is this gaming trailer it was a truck and a trailer that had 25 xbox 360s and 25 screens where you could sit down and like basically have a giant land party did it have a generator for all these I'm sure it did I'm sure it did hey that would suck if it didn't it would yeah that would be kind of a crazy power requirement but yeah so we asked everybody at and we had some really great responses August throat to us and said I would have my wife and kids in the trailer with me cuz I can't I really can't live without them hashtag TV trailer hashtag family and there's this is this family right there I'm assuming it's your family it could be a stock photo of somebody else's family I don't have taken it out of him have a bad dream Sears Sears catalog um Leo retro sand said I would love to have a trailer a dedicated to super smash brothers mario kart 8 and the legend of zelda ocarina of time hashtag TV trailer like that those are good choices cuz any of the replayability and super smash brothers it's a longevity the sort of long game in ocarina of time they also have mario kart 8 also very competitive lots of replay value I like it Lionel wrote to us and said I would have a trailer with no gravity so I can float around forever doesn't seem like that can get boring I think I grave that like the microgravity trailer would be kind of amazing except for the you know eating drinking having to go to the bathroom thing that you could get out but then that would be your only form of entertainment yes yeah just float around tues new exploding experiments and things inside there just try out a bunch of stuff okay and then lastly Stefan wrote us and said I wouldn't need a whole trailer all I would smartcard an oculus rift there's room for two I love this littlest picture it's a guy in a car ready to drive with
