you the greatest robot training montage video you've ever seen in your life and that's a guarantee tomorrow daily bringing citizens to the internet welcome to tomorrow daily the best geek talk-show in the known universe I'm your host Ashley sceva joining me today because kale is off gallivanting around in Austin with the likes of Sir mix-a-lot and other Oh famous folks Brian Bishop of the Adam Carolla Show best-selling author and also co-host of the podcast the film vault my god that's an impressive resume that is a the world that's why we asked you to come back because your resume is just it's like 30 pages yeah it's overwhelming what's the other halfway through like fine just have the guy on no it's just a Nobel Peace Prize just go the list goes on and on volunteer work I mean it's really impressive I do appreciate I appreciate you having me back and I'm excited to do the show yeah we have some really good stories today and we're happy to have you too so uh why not well let's not waste any more time let's hit the headlines so this video has been making the rounds on the internet right obviously onion cutting ninjas kicking up dust everywhere because I got a little there was something in my eye a little dusty in the dusty it was really terrible I mean like I don't know what was going on but it just it felt like maybe a windstorm kicked up in my house no excusable allergies the changing of the weather has to be a change in the weather spring is coming is the season our point is got a little misty Brooklyn so there's a guy out there named Albert Manero and for this is first and foremost this guy to me is a hero he is a Fulbright Scholar and he's also a doctoral student in mechanical engineering he partnered with the man himself Robert Downey jr. as Robert Downey jr. it basically was playing Tony Stark to present these fantastic Bionic arms that Albert makes to this kid Alex so Albert has a volunteer group called limba limitless but with a little bit less like limb limbs you're googling in its limbitless yeah that build and donate 3d printed bionic limbs to kids in need and so usually it costs about $40,000 to make a bionic arm I'm shocked us that little it which is expensive but also sometimes you see some of the things that these arms can do and you're like that actually seems incredible like a bargain and these were this was 3d printed right this is okay so yeah they're printed and he was able to Albert was able to make this bionic arm not the one that Robert Downey jr. is going to show you but the one for Alex the kid has is way more impressive it's so so cool it's an actual like Iron Man looking bionic arm he was able to make it for just three hundred and fifty dollars in materials if he should point out if they haven't seen the video the viewers that the child was born with an underdeveloped arm this he has one arm he has an underdeveloped arm his right arm is underdeveloped and he is so adorable in this video he first of all we love both of you and I love this Bryan we were talking about how when he when this kid realizes when Alex realizes it's really Robert Downey jr. you can see on his face he's like keep it cool man yeah cool keep it together keep it together I know oh my gosh this is our man I'm so excited and it's really neat because Robert Downey jr. comes in he of course puts on the Tony Stark pitamah the persona he's so cool but he's also so kind and compassionate to do this and they compare Bionic arms right which is fantastic and I love that he tells Alex he's like my yours is better it is better and my favorite moment like you mentioned is actually when Robert Downey jr. realizes the kid knows who he is he looks character for a second he does like a genuine fist pump like he's like really excited that this whole thing's working is like yes yeah yes genuinely like cool with the whole thing yeah do we have like a producer Logan do we have a clip of like hit them actually talking together I don't know if we ran the one with the it was probably in there but it was early on it was probably a third sure so yeah it's so great and we I just want to let you guys know that if you would like to learn more about this particular project my this is actually part of an initiative that Microsoft is doing called the collective project and they are featuring stories about students who are kind of making really great positive changes in their communities and so Albert totally wins our good human award yeah high-five see you Albert but you can go and look up hashtag collective project that's like how you can find out more about everything and I'm sure if you googled Microsoft collective project you'd be able to see all the other projects that they're doing but so awesome limitless but Li MB IT and just great stuff from Albert so thank you Albert for being such an awesome person helping out a kid in need and making it so cool and keep it up yeah keep up the great work um so tell me about these son drums flunking I appreciate when you pick the stories for who's gonna say what you give me the one with the the obscure Vietnamese cave I don't try to pronounce your design that was on purpose in Hong Son Doong that's actually great prudence is that it home sung dong they is apparently the is it the world's largest cave and we have a largest cave it's in Vietnam it's three over three miles long is six hundred and sixty feet high 490 feet wide that's gigantic this photographer Ryan Ryan to boot he decided to get a a quadrocopter he got a canon camera a gopro and he basically sent it into this cave and made this beautiful six-minute video that I would kill I would call it very tranquil like it's got beautiful photography and beautiful sound and the music I mean we're seeing the footage of this video and it's really amazing to me that there's all this flora there's like trees and an entire ecosystem inside of this dad is crazy three to four hidden cave it's pretty amazing if if you're watching this at work and you're distressed out take a little break once you're done go watch a six-minute video of like this crazy cave exploration you know tiny people are in this video and that's that's the thing that blew my mind when we checked out this footage was you it doesn't look really large until you see people for scale yeah that's helpful when there are people and they show the cool time-lapse photography inside the cave with the shuns like the sun shining through it's yeah this makes me want to go there but I also am like I'm always scared of like a natural disaster blocking my way and then I'll just never get out yeah but what a story but what a second story to tell cave how'd you get here yeah I've got some great video I've got some great drone footage so I this is a he actually use don't see a DJI phantom 2 so this is a pretty expensive drone if things like 1,600 or a couple grand okay she's got some expensive gear going on here but some of these shots you're never gonna get any other way so drone drone videography really this the only way you're gonna get some of these shots the next frontier is inside the cave I mean you kind of like poked or like this one you kind of poked around a little bit got time-lapse what I'm talking about people are that's amazing it's just I mean really guys this is this makes me want to go explore things except not explore them I almost wonder it's worn by proxy well let's see how this is thinking I'm like this guy is gonna make a killing at some point creating these videos for virtual reality tours like let's do that like so then that way I will have my oculus rift next year and then I'll just put it on and I'm like hey guys I want to go to Hong Son Doong and I wanna I want then I just pay my five bucks or 10 bucks or I get my little virtual tour and then I'm good sounds fantastic I think it sounds let's go right now let's let's do that so actually that brings us to our hashtag of the day which is hashtag TD Explorer and I'm really curious as to what thing would you want to send out a drone to see for you but would not want to experience yourself so for example I would love to climb Mount Everest via drone right but I don't actually want to be out in the snow and almost like kill myself right getting up there that makes sense yeah so send a drone that I not actually experienced it yeah something you would you wouldn't actually want to be over be somewhere else you'd be somewhere else and then you just send a drone to go check it out for you probably my own funeral like that's a good answer I'd be somewhere else very creative you would be it would be my baby watching I got a bitch other technicality Ashley yeah that is a technicality but I will accept it I will accept it well we'll we'll bend a little space-time continuum a cup that's all it's all good clearly I faked my own death in this scenario or else and you're in a cave very impossible to go to exactly that's exactly what happened so that's your hashtag add a TD Explorer and then we have we've got to talk about this robot montage so I saw this this weekend and just thought it was the best because you know robots are people too except they aren't and this YouTube user names summer travel uploaded this video that just brings me so much joy these are Boston Dynamics humanoid robots so if atlas and pet man this is Alice right here pet man's a really scary one looks like an actual pearl as opposed to Atlas is not the scary one oh yeah yeah the friendly looking what no that's the last thing you ever see right there I know I just I'm gonna do push up and then shoot you oh well my nightmares are nice and I stocked up for a while no oh yeah you're gonna definitely but the nice thing is is they set it to the Scarface theme and I set it to credit to these guys for not sending it to a very obvious song solver rocky or something they're gonna pick I consider a semi obscure song from yeah from Scarface soundtrack it's a pretty great ad style workout montage yeah and they're working out they're climbing stairs do push-ups they're stumbling rocks they're doing all kinds of stuff I mean it just oh it's so good getting hit by weights there's a boy over there far more agile and athletic than me oh yeah no I can't see I wouldn't be able to climb myself up onto that look it he's gonna jump nope injury right there that's uh yep that's definitely something that will chase me and beat me like I yeah it will chase me down this was no way this activity results in me sending a drug yeah exactly it's a precursor yeah that's this is a prequel to much to our previous story so I really love this but I had to ask you because you are one of the hosts of the film but in your opinion what is the greatest film montage of all time oh man there's so many and of course the obvious answer is like you know rocky 4 has a great montage rocky 3 every rocket has a Blood Ties there's one I would recommend people will track it down on youtube or on the internet and find it it's a you ever seen the rules of attraction with james van der beek I haven't okay there's a very NSFW montage it's very good very funny but put your headphones on you'll want to play us and blast this one in the office but it's very funny it's about a guy's trip to Europe it's condensed into about two minutes and it's it's a good it's a solid montage funny little adult humor but good stuff I really like the one from I like the montage parody I in Captain America yeah very self-aware moms are so good so good um but yeah so that is our set of headlines for today we're gonna take a quick break we'll be right back with the weirdest back at our hack one of the weirdest backer Hackett's I think I have chosen on this show it's so strange and also we have your user feedback from last week and our phone talker for the day so don't click away it's tomorrow daily welcome back to the show once again I'm here with Brian Bishop best-selling author and crawl show right thumb vault all true philanthropist that's true actually playboy billionaire working on it working on okay good I like it so every week we like to talk to you guys about crowdfunding projects that are trying to get off the ground some of them make it some of them don't we like to say if we are into it or not so this is back at our Hackett I have some questions about this okay this is called rocket book all right let me explain rocket book to you so this is a notebook which seems pretty straightforward a notebook like a tablet or notebook like something you write in physically write in notebook I'm already losing for you get your things yeah okay so the idea is you have this notebook 50 pages you use a pen special pen okay called a pilot FriXion pen okay and you write in there and then you use the app or you use it like a regular like you would pen and ink yeah pen in a book and along the bottom there are some little symbols you can mark them and then the app actually will read all of these things and send your stuff - whatever cloud service you work so like let's say you have the crown goes to Google Drive and then so you scan it as though you the scan a check to deposit yes very similar and it uploads that I believe is a JPEG to any of these services which is pretty cool is Evernote and you got email Dropbox Google Drive all that good stuff um so here's where it gets weird okay so you've uploaded your notes you got everything in there and oh man your notebooks full like you 50 pages that's a lot of notes but you know hey maybe you are taking a an O chem class or something sure oh and you got a you you go buy a new notebook usually not with rocket book because it is microwave safe and this pen the pilot FriXion pen right the ink disappears when it is exposed to heat you pop the book into the microwave yes set it and cook it set it and forget it okay 30 seconds and you cook it and when you're done the book is blank and you can start all over again wow that is that not the weirdest thing that is weird I also read and you're in the notes you sent me that it can be done up to 25 times what it is or some number like that yeah so they say they recommend in the FAQ they recommend 25 erases like around that amount ok so you get about 25 notebooks sure 50 pages each what's the retail on this do they have any 25 dollars okay so it's a $0.50 of page 2 bucks a page you get 2 bucks a page 25 bucks um it's 25 bucks and you got a 50 page rock book comes a pen friction pen and I think for higher levels of commitment on the for backing on crowdfunding you get like colors well sure yeah yeah all these different weird things um but yeah 25 erase cycles they say that you have June 2015 delivery so it's not going to take forever thank God I can't wait for my microwave book your microwavable notebook um and apparently they're definitely gonna happen because they asked for $20,000 in funding and they still have like I think 19 days left and they're over $300,000 good for them because we on the film wall where your producer Logan knows we have a term we liked it called needlessly elaborate this is needlessly elaborate there are many PC er ways and cheaper frankly teachers not maybe there so you know we're saving trees I don't know if you are I don't think you're Bert hurting a lot more than the production you're radiating yourself if you microwave in your writing like I worry about radiation like I just and also it this ink supposedly disappears when exposed what does it go first of all yeah where's the movie NV where does the pooka well know it's like in Harry Potter you're writing to Voldemort obviously you put in the microwave all your text actually gets uploaded to Voldemort cloud services timely reference super timely it's only 13 years old ten years old whatever um so my question is this we live in Southern California yes we do it gets very hot here okay that's highly value what if you're just bench and you're like sketching and then all of a sudden it just goes your magic ink is floating away you're chasing after people chasing after magic invisible ink in the air would not be the weirdest thing you see in a normal la day no that's very true especially not in Venice Beach no yeah anywhere near the water that would not be the weirdest thing you saw in the day another guy chases a little lake I think I see people already doing that but yeah so that's that is rocket book I thought it was very interesting super weird but also kind of one of those things where it's like like you said needlessly elaborate but also maybe some people obviously did $300,000 worth of people very very cool it's cool and I appreciate the technology involved for sure and hopefully this can be used for something worthwhile someday but I can't combine this I mean I was just thinking about maybe like for school so you have like you up there don't know all the kids these days just bring in their laptop or pet notepads or whatever I don't know I mean I think I like to make like I feel like if I write something down I remember it better type it down type it so I like I feel like I might use this for like a lecture based class or something like that I don't know like that seems like the thing I would use it for and then it's like every year you don't have to keep buying notebooks you just throw it in the microwave because you I'm doing this I'm never gonna do it again you just microwave it no I think this could actually have a specifically good application I used to actually be a high school football coach for two years and obviously we would take notes and game stats & drop plays and some sidelines okay we're dealing on notepad or you know quite as easily yeah there should be actually be a good thing if you're on the sidelines maybe I know lacrosse or soccer or football especially and trying to draw up you know stats or notes or plays or whatever and then you could scan them and upload them so that would actually be an interest and then everyone has access to like that it's like so tough yeah it's as if you're if you're an NFL coach or even college coach you have a staff of 25 30 people so you see that being actually a very specifically good application okay fair enough fair enough I just convinced myself you did so are you gonna say back in are you in back at or half these guys don't need my help obviously they're over through her mm would you buy it you know what I would actually I would in a shark tank style I get behind this and try and pitch it to like the NFL in two doublea's okay good all right I like it I say back it if only for I would I would back it in a business sense and I would try to get it into university bookstores okay that's where I would try to get into okay guys so we have to talk about you now it's time to talk about you it's user feedback so last week we did a story about the Netflix hack day where they were able to get Netflix running on an 8-bit NES right and it was awesome and we asked everybody to use the hashtag TV rig to talk about like well how they would sort of rigged up ways new ways to watch sure nice to watch alright so Tyler wrote in to us and said use binaural audio for TV shows to create a sense of realism or use oculus for TV shows to where you can interact inside the screens hmm I understood most of those words yes this is seen it's so good for you yes and then and then we had Ally right in and he said two things number one extended scene a battleground or martial art fight or two slow motion so that's you would be able to kind of get into those things like you could rig everything up to like watch that extended scenes and stuff Richard Burton said if you have VR I would like you to be able to pause the scene and walk through the set that's pretty cool yeah cool they'd be that cool thing to offer like if your Kickstarter raising money for like you know a movie or something like that you could walk through the set it was set to her sectoral this amount of backing if that would be awesome Neil wrote in and said a choose your own adventure that takes the majority of votes every day at ed Brad break and decides the next part of the show Oh like a live streaming choose-your-own-adventure I think we should do that instead of those NBC musicals well that'd be great hey super good what the Peter Pan just jump off them she's your venture feed yourself to the crocodile everybody of course the internet would make it everybody died within the first ten minutes that would be it'd be a very short holiday special except for Christopher Walken who would be dancing at his hook confidence yeah for the rest of the time like fill the time that's it end of story and then lastly Rick wrote in to us and said a drinking game on Netflix whenever a character dies a pop-up shows to drink same thing for Breaking Bad okay like a game of Thrones or a game of Netflix I like this I like this idea but also we're a family show so drink it could be milk water listen drinking that much milk could kill you that's true serve a dirty good drink too much water yeah water intoxication that's bad Netflix presents severe alcohol poisoning unreal poisoning mmm yes severe Mel point and then lastly we asked just as a joke last week we're asking like what how would you say tomorrow daily and Klingon oh boy so Adam wrote in to us and he said according to Bing Translate oh no tomorrow every day translates to I don't know how to save this and click on you want to give it a shot I don't want to give it a shot that that would get me arrested well what you gave me the cave first and I can't well now you're on a roll well that's justice okay Clark I'll buy that well that's just luck he says there's no Klingon word for daily so it has to be everyday out of the authorities are headed over your house right now yes sorry about that so that is our that is our user feedback and of course we have our very last piece of user feedback which is always our phone talker for the day Thomas wrote in to us he had a really nice picture he's his Moto G to take it I says I took this picture on my Moto G 2014 Waze walking on the beach I took this picture because we don't get many days where it's sunny here in Ireland and you can see the island clearly I hope you like the picture beautiful I would have never guessed that picture came from Ireland it looks like it's some wonderful tropical island it looks Hawaiian like Molokini or something yeah it's like a little volcano island in the distance or something it's really good I love this I love that it came from Ireland so delightful but I do feel like this image and we've been talking about this the last few episodes is ripe for something to add to like we're gonna add something this image Oh meme this image or something so for example last week we had Jeff Goldblum running with left shark like wheat there's a beach picture it was really nice and there's a bonfire so we have left shark somebody photoshopped left shark in and Jeff Goldblum running with floaties okay very good so you have to explain it to me I so what do you think I mean could we see the image more time what could we add to this to really make it like Pulitzer prize-winning photography you know what right shark isn't getting nearly enough attention it's all left shark we have right shark just maybe like swimming like morosely saying what about me you like looking up his hands so basically you guys like take left shark and just flip him horizontally yeah and then make a sad face yeah turn to smiley face upside down that's my upside-down sad he's bummed right shark has got now not getting nearly enough attention he doesn't get any love everybody loves left shark right shark is the straight man in the whole operation live sharks free to be like crazy soil everybody loves left shark but really you would have no left shark for that right sure thank you what's the law shock would be nearly as good that's true for everything there has to be yang that's exactly words okay on that note we are gonna close out the show if you
