on today's show scientists figured out how to make a robot even more terrifying by giving it robot snake legs the interview will be available to view this Christmas and we're going to tell you how to see it and a group of animators is bringing really old ancient artifacts to life and it's awesome start early greetings citizen from the internet welcome to tomorrow daily the best speak talk show in the known universe I'm host Ashley scatter joining me as always Santa kale it's almost Christmas hey you're getting you're getting jacked on Christmas time right they hope I get a lot of cool stuff I only you already bought it all from scipy yo yeah hi I said I wanted a raspberry pi I want an iphone 6 plus okay I yeah I want a lot of electronics there's like a whole bunch of lists up on CNET's like channel you're like I'll take that I was watching them and I'm like oh no there's no way I'm gonna get all this stuff now but then then we have CES coming up don't we get everybody we got CS coming Christmas too for those of us in the technology nerd verse um that's like second Christmas cuz we get to see all the cool stuff we can take but but here's probably can't take any of it home oh oh uh real quick before we get to the stories there's been a story based myth bust yes so there's in case you haven't noticed there's been this this story that's been circulating you know how it works with facebook and and BuzzFeed a story that seems a little too good to be true it Red's around can you tell us what about it as a rumor happening that says that there's gonna be this planetary alignment on january fifth and that you're gonna if they're just gonna mess with the Earth's gravity and that you're gonna be able to jump and stay in the air for three seconds instead of the regular point2 um which you know is insane and guys if that's nope debunked there you go no no D you can go to snopes com and they'll give you all the information that was previously reported yeah April fourth of this year they said it was gonna happen and then you know it didn't of course cuz I think we would have all remembered the time where gravity came to a lessened on the planet and then and then again on january fifth cuz they said oh no no it miscalculated it's January it was like I Stan by like a NASA tweet that maybe somebody fake through I don't yeah I might have been faked I just it's on snopes not true not accurate I don't try to jump over anybody on january fifth is what I'm saying but ok you might get hurt but either way if you didn't know about this it's kind of fun to see how people fake science stuff and then get people to love you like yeah I'm Jennifer let's all jump just so there you go two seconds to reach other way our saying just wanted to just wanted to let the the tomorrow daily people be smarter we're debunkers yeah we're saying and you're at your holiday parties and your New Year's Eve parties if someone brings that up you're like not true go wrong you could be that guy or girl at the party / eggnog on their face look okay let's do it close Terry let's go to the headline yeah oh I don't like that I know you know cuz you hate spiders so kale is not a fan of the spider and well you know robot spiders are terrifying enough okay you think this is this is really interesting and I love this video so this comes from the bio robotics lab at Carnegie Mellon University and they have this DARPA funded robot and they gave it a six it's a hexapod with six robot snake legs and you can see it's all the leash but chicks out seat whoa and it can correct it's very good at correcting being pushed or being moved it's it's extremely versatile and extremely very stable very stable so the neat thing is is that each each leg is its own sort of robot and so they're able to kind of operate not necessarily a hundred percent independently because they all have to work together but they can each make their own decisions that's like what it needs to do to correct itself so you can watch it crawling over some debris here that they just threw on the ground and it does it does it pretty well which is it's just a little bit scary and also you know don't put a gattling gun on it is what I'm trying to say here don't put or poison darts just nothing that could maybe attack a person so yeah they're saying that potentially you know maybe this would be use in the future for rescue robots to be able to go into eyes or space exploration I don't I mean there's a lot of different things that they could use it for and it's just a super fascinating way of putting a robot together and I saw that video and I was just like whoa like that is that is intense like somebody was just like you know which I snake robot legs to this to this little robot I think it would go over really well like in it and it did but I'm scared I I think the young you know the legs or whatever the fact that it you can't be disturbed like you can push it they were kicking it yeah it would be able to really like kind of correct itself there's a lot of articulation in each of those legs so really getting over like we're saying debris or any kind of obstacle would be relatively easy for it compared to other robots so we see another robots kind of struggle but yeah this is pretty cool i like seeing the video like seeing a guy like push it with a split yeah just is like bro forget it where's your speed your spider robot I'm a breath yeah um so yeah that's uh that's that's our scary spider robot I like I actually like it I'm with it it only walks it's not as long as it's not venomous it's not venomous you shows up in your shower that's pretty cool 6am okay okay so here we go the interview is is is definitely back on but in select theaters and we don't know VOD you're saying the Viet like they're not wait they haven't said exactly what so for those of you keeping up sony i decided i'll just a few like a week ago that they weren't gonna release hey yank the interview because of North Korea's threats well they decided I didn't lean allegedly my doing is threats so they decided hey we're gonna we're gonna day wait we're cool we're gonna do it this is the quote that they have from the CEO of Sony Pictures Michael Lynton we have never given up on releasing the interview oh never but I think they did last week yeah they did I continue we're excited our movie will be in a number of theaters on Christmas Day so it'll apparently be offered simultaneously on VOD of course Seth Rogen had something to say about it he said Shh I said I think you should oh the people have spoken oh cuz I good keep going freedom has prevailed Sony didn't give up the interview will be shown in theaters will shown in theaters willing to play it on xmas day so there you go and then James Franco said uh victory the people and the President had spoken so there you go but even the President did speak and called him James Flacco so that was I not yeah you didn't see that know when when President Obama did when he talked about the Sony like pulling the interview when he talked about this the Sony decision to pull the interview he's like you know I Seth Rogen and James Flacco oh man so I'm my greatest I'm interested to see so I'm interesting how many theaters cuz I haven't gotten a full I think right now they said it's like 200 but they said there might be more they're talking to more theaters but it will be available i know the alamo drafthouse is is definitely showing us Justin uble will see that so I'm interest to see how many of you guys would watch it on VOD like what let me let me know in the comments and we'll find out you know I don't know we're gonna watch it and to clear up the air on this a lot of people have been asking us via email like why aren't you guys covering the Sony hack and i gotta tell you yeah like we are fully aware and and are always like reading up on what's going on but we also feel really uncomfortable about the fact that we denounce the iCloud hack is like this is a crime and the people should be held responsible and anybody who shares these pictures is not not cool like it's private data like private data is private down a regardless of whether it's a bunch of d-bags up and up at Sony like making terrible jokes and just being jerks or people who you know it doesn't matter if you're a jerk or not I mean your privacy is your privacy and their company and I don't know I kind of feel a gross I do not support the fact that the media use this to propel themselves a lot of sites a lot of YouTube news channels they all used it to kind of fuel their views and they wanted to drop every single little thing and I wasn't supporting there's a certain that's a choice that's a natural choice and that's fine but just I'm not I'm not we're not into it like we're so different not only that we're here for a completely different reason we're here to give you future tech we're here to kind of fuel your creativity that's why we're here we want to create conversation okay positive yeah we'll keep it positive you know keep it real so you know we just you know it's like everyone else we appreciate that you wanted us to talk about it we really really do one hundred percent but just they have our thoughts we have our opinions man will tell them on Twitter whatever but the show if you find us walking around at CES you can ask yeah I'll tell you what we think but yeah just generally for money not for us to really talk about and also like I don't want to really deep dive into these like crazy emails I've seen a bunch of headlines about like oh jelena Jolie's like fighting with so-and-so oh my god just I don't want you let that that's just the way it go let it just let it die go away so so they go thank you for asking and on that note uh here's the story 3 which can I think it's every strike the deck no kale hasn't seen this video and I'm really excited to show Tim so this is from an animator named Steve k Simmons and an ancient Greek history expert named Sonia Nevin they work together to take ancient art works on vozes and other things in berea Greek culture and they animate them and bring them to life so check out this video so that's wow that's an actual laws that they took and skin is scanned or recreated as an animation and they bring them to life and and show you different kind of just ways of that they the Greeks might have been like which is really cool and they have all kinds of different ones of ancient Olympics they have clash of the Dicers which is what you're watching now this is a it's a dice game you know it's like something cool and then well wishers every soldier which is kind of like a kind of a war sort of thing and then they have a few more and it's just really really neat and if you have any interest at all in ancient history and and that sort of thing it's just really fun to watch and sort of see these images come to life via panoply a website it's a fun way to get into the sort of art yeah very any 3d maybe you have kids or a little brother sister who might want to see something like it like this is really fascinating to me I believe there's like there's a few in each category so they have they have a few animations each category there's one called the runners but they take this that's a fragment just a fragment of the art and then they animate it which is so so cool and I just thought that was super fascinating i love the idea of this sort of being a future way of preserving history like we have these like sort of animations of of things that least have i'm gonna get my go ahead and say what somebody is already gonna mention Oh Hercules yeah reminds me Kirk you ladies all the muses I'm the bosses but this is really this is a really cool thing to do it I'll creative it's so creative um you can go over to panoply org UK and you can check out everything so in panoply is PA and opl so check that out it's super cool you are missing a lot of visuals on this show if you're just listening today like there's the robot and then also these animations are really really neat so I suggest you check them out but on that note we're going to take a quick break we'll be right back we have a lot of new releases including the interview obviously and it's our it's our last new releases of the year and then we and then we have your user feedback and of course our phone tower for the day so don't click weights tomorrow daily welcome back into the show we are we are here it's our last Tuesday of the year that will be here I hope you guys are going to miss us next week will be on vacation but you know for now I think it's time to check out one of our favorite parts of the week which is all the new releases so first up as kale mentioned the interview mm-hmm the interview with Eddie in select theaters I saw some people tweeting this morning saying you know even though it's coming out it's still not showing in a theater within a hundred miles of me so that might be the case for you but if even if it is the likelihood of VOD we're hearing rumors as of right now is of the taping of the show we're hearing rumors that Sony has been talking to VOD outlets to break to end and telling theaters they will be releasing it VOD the same day that it will be released theatrically so hopefully yeah might as well they must I gotta say it cuz if only select it's only 200 liters yeah there's no point in that there you go so there's that um my one of my favorite childhood frustrating games duck hunt is now available for the wii u virtual console you can now go how do you I think you just use well I would imagine with the gamepad maybe you could do it or you tap on the ducks you could do the or they yeah the controller yeah and you can angrily but ineffectively shoot at the dog or if you're if you're really feeling like you need vengeance from the dog who laughs at you you can go over into super smash brothers and kick his face in mm-hmm which makes me feel a lot better if I'm being honest yeah just really cathartic all those years I finally am able to beat up the duck hunt dog and then I thought this was awesome so apparently Temple Run vr is now available oh I for free for the Samsung gear VR so if you have a note or a note edge a note for note edge you were able to in first person du temple run it looks like it looks really look really good um it makes me want to go get all those things and try it is a lot of things it is a lot of things but it looks really neat and I am like I think a lot of people are gonna be really excited about kind of this sort of thing like we're gonna start seeing kind of VR games hit app stores and different things like that was right pretty fun um but yeah so that its Temple Run VR again it's free you just they'll pick it up yeah awesome and then in theaters as just like the interview on Christmas Day we are gonna see big eyes which was not Tim Burton yes are you holding the cnet logo I appreciate that goes right big Isis burns newest flick it is a based on a true story about Margaret Keane who was the kind of creator of these paintings with you know kids with big eyes and all this stuff and it became kind of this phenomenon it was kind of a kitschy sort of fad that caught on it was very very popular and then but what happened was her husband at the time was a con man and took credit for all her work because it just said keen and so he took credit for it and christoph waltz plays oh yeah you can't go wrong with Amy Adams or Christoph Waltz yeah and it just it looks fun it's colorful looks interesting like I I'm curious about it I think it might be really good I know Tim Burton has kind of been a little uneven like over the last maybe 10 years yeah but a lot of people are saying that big fish this is like a big fish seems more like a big fish as opposed to you know kind of whimsical obviously a whimsical Alice in Wonderland or Charlie chocolate I was on the thigh was one of maybe two people on the planet that was on the fence about this move everybody seems pretty excited but you can just me that it's an interesting story it's based on a true story and one of the one of my favorite things about this movie a fun little like tidbit that I read which is true is um there's a there's a courtroom scene obviously they have to go to court to like work all this stuff out and that happened in real life as well and apparently it was so over-the-top the real-life courtroom situation that when they were filming the courtroom situation timber and ask Christoph Waltz like tone it down and they were just letting the writers were like no no it was even worse than what we wrote in the script like it was even crazier than what we wrote so like I highly recommend just looking up the story anyway and if you see it like you can sort of check out like what then alright what the creative liberties were with the story but I just I'm interested that and then lastly next week a most violent year is going to hit theaters this is oscar isaac jessica chastain it looks really good and really kind of dark and gray to emote on Christmas no no I think this is a really good New Year's movie I'm really really fantastical it just looks good i love jessica chastain obviously Oscar Isaac is in the new star wars film if you're if you're into into IMDb but I like Oscar Isaac a lot um he was great in that Coen Brothers flick what's that one I forgot inside llewyn davis oh yeah the lead in that movie and he was so good at it um and of course Jessica Chastain is fantastic and also hailer halo 5 multiplayer beta is gonna start sometime the next I think week or so oh yeah so yeah Fox why I didn't put that in the notes but I just remembered it right now gotta get on that somehow nobody huh yeah well gonna come out you come over come over to my house and the will play uh oh yeah that'd be fun you're in it you're in the beta I don't know I'm sure I could try you have to sign up you have to do something I don't know I don't know how that work gotta have friends among friends that are friends in high places not low places okay um okay well on that note let's head up your user feedback so first up I have to let you know we actually got either a tweet or an email from somebody and I am a terrible person and I didn't write it down but they said a lot of the trash you would burn it on it would burn off in the atmosphere on reentry so maybe they would like throw like throw it back draw back at Earth and then light burn up interesting I thought that was a really good which is really good idea it's good idea ok so we asked you guys use the hashtag TD trash and tell us uh what what you'd want to see you floating around on the sky or what you we you know we'd be cleaning up in any sci-fi universe you guys came up with some good ones Sean Rogerson said the lost tomorrow daily blooper reel somehow I was floating above our head you never get a seat are you see where he or not we are not in that blueberry oh uh George Roach was instead agreed with Kailyn said Luke Skywalker's right hand would that be awesome be so weird uh Tony wrote to us Tony wrote to us yes okay guys it's just thumbs up a great dish faces Chewbacca says what happens in space stations hahahahahaha what do you would which made me laugh that was really funny good and then Matt wrote to us and said we may find a white round object with a glowing orange I that seems to be very interested in space space yeah it's basic space do you know what that's from because because the space i needed about 10 seconds so think about it space gotta go to space mm-hmm of course it's from portal for sale whately everybody's favorite everybody's favorite robot yeah I don't want to give away name it a space that's great ya bub it so yeah I love the Wheatley reference that was delightful your hashtag of the day today we are actually

yeah it could be like you know anything that happens NASA can be any of the future tech gage attack could be it somebody printed out toilet' exhibition in Tokyo whatever you want it's totally fine you weren't here for that that was one of our earliest shows there was a ton exhibition in Japan about the toilet the history of the toilet and part of it was there was a 15-foot tall toilet that you you walked into a room there's a giant toilet and then you picked up a little hat and it was a poop and you put it on your head and then you slit is a slide you slid under the toilet then you can learn about like staying in stata Japan uh-huh of course of course it was but really I was extremely enlightening yeah for a lot of people who went there and learned about the history of the toilet so anyway TD best of 2014 that's your hashtag do do that up and let's talk about our very last piece of user feedback which is of course your user feedback no our photog refer the day okay so this is from sean s they took this with his galaxy s5 whoa what is that ok so he explains he says hi guys big fan of the show have been supporting it since day one I haven't submitted any photos to be featured on the show as I didn't think I had any photos worth sharing I found this photo of that being said I recently found this photo that I took with my oh I'm sorry a nexus 5 will correct that it was taken on 11 11 14 at the Tower of London 880 8246 ceramic poppies flooded the tower in order to remember the soldiers who lost their lives in the Great War over 100 years ago it was a truly humbling experience I wish both and all of the behind-the-scenes crew I'm very merry christmas and a happy new year that's fantastic I've never found it worse is that I've been to the tower and I loved it it was amazing but I've never seen I hadn't seen it like this so I I knew I think I saw some pictures on social media of people taking photos of this but not at night like this and that is just stunning very cool and what a great memorial like what a beautiful sort of poignant way to honor those who you know fought in them yeah thanks for sharing that's really amazing very nice job you're definitely Kayla's new favorite you are my favorite so people are now emailing saying they're hoping I that they're my favorite doesn't matter and I think that's pretty awesome yeah well because they're because I'm tougher to impress kills kills an easy date all you have to do so many phone tog raphy I don't think that's due to be like hey by the way great deal of the show also love point-and-click adventures no not at all and then you feel like oh you're my favorite or not true love a little Italian Greyhounds well then if you send a picture of an Italian Greyhound that would be
