2015-05-19
on today's show a toothbrush that claims to require zero toothpaste you can now virtually go inside your favorite painting and Bill Nye and Neil deGrasse Tyson want your money and we're gonna tell you I tomorrow daily rooting citizens of the internet welcome to tomorrow daily the best scoop talk show the known universe I'm Ashley a skillet join these always on this lovely tuesday kill not what a day what a lovely day what a lovely day AZ now alright I'll calm down some people haven't seen madman the glory that is mad max pretty sure Logan we're looking at you through the glass that is covered that you can't see us but um yeah it was that it was good weekend we had some great times kills kale celebrate his birthday this last weekend it was actually on Mother's Day but he was kind enough to give that day to his mom to enjoy and then actually just celebrating this last week but ya know it was good I survived it took all the recovery days that I needed my black ready to do whatever that is do we do ready to hit it alright let's do that alright I gonna I gotta tell you a little bit about light sale so um I don't know if we've talked about light sales specifically on the show but uh there's no back at our hack of this week we didn't have a show yesterday so I figured I'd mentioned this it's like a Kickstarter but also pretty newsworthy uh bill nye who is the CEO of the Planetary Society which is the biggest I think non-government space kind of exploration entity in the country and board member Neil deGrasse Tyson who we all know from cosmos the new cosmos I they are kicking off this Kickstarter to help fund light sale so what light sale is is it's a it's an idea that was made popular by carl sagan he was on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson way back in the day like decades ago here is and he's talking about what exactly is this is 76 so this idea has been around for a while it's actually been around longer than this even it's been around for about a hundred years and the concept is is that you would have this you'd have this sort of sale made out of mylar the same stuff you see like balloons made out of that sort of silvery material and then what they would do is they would pack it in really really tight and then they would launch it into space and then it would expand into this really big sale and you would have a CubeSat attached to it a little tiny satellite and what the concept of the light sale is is that the mylar wood and the cubes that would be so lightweight and so thin that it would be able to be propelled by photons moving through space that are that are like ejected from the Sun so the sunlight sort of very miniscule it's very difficult to move things that would be super lightweight to be pushed by these photons in space but they think that with this they can actually travel pretty quickly too far away places in the galaxy in a fairly short amount of time which is kind of neat the concept behind it and they already have this is the cool thing they already have 4.25 million dollars of funded out of the four or out of the 5.45 million they need to be able to launch this thing so now to make up for that last 1.2 million they've gone to Kickstarter they've gone to you the crowdfunding people who love to crowdfund and and they want they are only asking for two hundred thousand dollars they've no pun intended sailed past that there are almost 600,000 so they're almost halfway to what they actually just need to watch Wow and it ends in a little more than a month it ends jun 26 so there's still time to get in and back this there's all kind of different levels you can get like a really cool mission patch for lights a like put on jacket or whatever stickers all kinds of stuff they are even doing parts of the sale itself like a centimeter of the light sail sail the mylar sale which is pretty neat but yeah so that's what they're doing and and they basically you can go to sail dot planetary org to learn more about how light sail works and what exactly they want to do with it I know Neil deGrasse Tyson made a joke in the Kickstarter video about how he wanted it to go by Pluto he's like because I feel pretty bad about being part of the group that downgraded it from a planet so he's Oaks it's a great a really great video like you should go watch it I mean I love Bill Nye from childhood bill nye the science guy obviously I'm still really big into helping people understand science and then Neil deGrasse Tyson just pretty much the coolest astrophysicist that there is so um yeah really really awesome story so light sail you can go to UM again sale dot planetary org to learn more about what they're doing awesome yeah that's what one of those I think everybody wants a light sale so can I tell you about this VR experience you okay so i don't know if you've ever looked at a painting invent like own and going there all the time i have never felt that way however I do want to do that now because someone has created a VR experience of a van Gogh painting particularly the night cafe now this was created at a oculus mobile VR jam so it was created by an animator living in brooklyn new york named Mackenzie Kali and basically render basically like scanned up all the you know the the stuff from the van Gogh painting and had to create not only the two dimensions but also to create three dimensions for stuff that wasn't shown to other sides of faces behind doors objects hidden from view but created this VR experience because apparently Mackenzie was super into that so this is rad yeah so it was digitized with 3d software and there's even animated effects like there's a smoking there's yeah a hazy lights I'm it's just a big old experience that you can just go through look what what van Gogh's world would look like if van Gogh created a world I suppose I didn't painted it in VR so creative yeah this guy look at this guy it's amazing so that's pretty neat it's basically just you know just something cool to show off that people are having some fun art artistic experiences yeah with VR and and sharing some some old old style another great use of virtual reality and I wouldn't have necessarily considered like off the top of my head but totally makes sense go let's go walk into a walking an oil painting yeah it's like what dreams may come yeah oh yeah yeah it is like that so that brings our eyes I got it Oh massage which is 2d paint TD bank TD paint so we want to know from you Franklin's is me painting what Franklin what painting would you want to experience and VR oh there's so many um I love that she did van Gogh cuz obviously it's so visual and so there's a whimsy to them that I think people really like I would have to say I really like maybe any Monet the sort of impressionists kind of world where it like and it would be really cool because as you're walking closer to things like they get more and more blurry and like out of cos dirt because it's impressionist ya gonna be really rad like you walk away and you can see everything and then as you get close to do it like it totally dissolves into nothingness so that would be really cool for me that was pretty cool that'd be pretty cool I would probably just go I probably just go into Mona Lisa just like have a chat have a chit it's just like hey hey girl see what's like like maybe she's got like a plate of spaghetti down here something like you don't know you know no yeah just see kind of like what's going on in her world I like you like the Mona Lisa that's a good one me and Mona is what see what she's smiling at maybe you could see what she's look what she was meant to me she's smiling at me from a girl hell do you guys she's sweaty right on tinder so we're good to go Mia Mona that's what we called it Tobi you're Ryan Gosling eng Mona Lisa hey hey girl that's more like Joey from friends hey how you doing well she's Italian I like that so TV paint TV faint there's a painting or paint paint TD paint make it short okay so there you go TT paint tell us what painting you'd like to be inside of outrage with I want to talk to you about this toothbrush um because I'm a little weirded out by it I don't know I'm a big fan of good dental hygiene yeah ah we've been using the same old kind of system for a pretty long time you got a toothbrush got toothpaste toothpaste brush teeth baking soda looks a little fuck you foam up in the mouth you pretend you have rabies that's what everybody does right that's crazy like at seven years olds I still do that sometimes but I think you actually do every probably that's actually probably true um so there's this japanese company and they were product and it's called me Sokka and it's a toothbrush that they claim requires no toothpaste now here's how it works is not just like a little standard regular old toothpaste they get off a rack they say their toothbrush has super thin nylon bristles that are covered in nano sized mineral ions so that way you don't need any more toothpaste it's nanotechnology making it so that you don't got to use toothpaste okay you just dip your moussaka and water and then you brush your teeth okay and they're saying you only need one brushing a day you just do it once in the morning a good three like good three minute brush then you're good you're good you don't need a brush at night which is maybe a little disgusting no they don't understand how brushing work and that but here's the catch so there is a catch you got to swap out the bristles once a month in fact the word miss silka translates to English as the last day of the month so that's is a reminder of when to switch them out like the last day of the month to go to switch out the bristles did they say how many yen it was so here's the great thing you can actually get one on amazon for i might have to buy it i'm gonna get one fifteen bucks so fifteen dollars a month so it's like a bristle description yeah yeah yeahs such amount so yeah 15 bucks a month it's not worth the risk for me not worth the risk no I'd I mean yeah one forty dollars yeah like where's the because rushing is like taking you brush to get the crap off your teeth so that's while you're brushing in the morning usually in the middle of day and then usually at the end of the day and i'm brushing once just for fun whoa i did it today no it's like cleaning the gun clean everything oh and also we've been so trained to feel that like fresh breath feeling every eating's jo toothbrush taking that away I don't know people are ready for that that might be that that could be true I mean you're just pressure chief of water it doesn't feel as good as having a like minty fresh or you know if you have like vanilla flavored she's not going to remove the flavor for me from your mouth my other question is is that like they don't mention needing flossing or like all the other things that dentists recommend that you do as you get older they're like okay so you just rest your teeth in your kid then you had to add flossing when your teenager then on top of that you got to add like water pik they go to keep adding stuff you a little rubber squishy thing when you get older like in your 40s and 50s so they don't mention any of that like additional dental care that you probably should be doing this is suspect I go ahead and you try it out I'll ciao I'll just be over here well let me know with my brethren yeah once you t start falling out i'll start telling you um no but i mean i guess i'll wait to see some doctors try this out okay Ellis if this is an actual thing I had my parents are dental technicians okay and this doesn't sound like anything that it would be like new be like sketchy hui yeah uh yeah is baloney yeah they don't talk about how like Times you're gonna have to visit the dentist because yeah terrible also PS at the end of every month is how often you visit a dentist get your teeth cleaned out because this toothbrush doesn't work maybe I don't know I'll wet maybe I'll try it don't like 15 bucks maybe I'll test it out you'll switch it out for one month I'll switch it out for my normal toothbrush but I'll just brush my teeth like twice a day like I don't like to life's too short to believe in magical toothbrushes listen replacing your teeth is expensive so for fifteen dollars a month I don't think I take that risk or you can get like one of those things like immortan joe Oh perfect that's a very nice reference sorry sorry sorry Logan I'm in all right guys that's our headlines we are gonna take a quick break we're gonna be right back with new releases of which there are so many this week really good ones but before we go I want you to check out this amazing bit of string stop motion arts all

very true that's what i use the xbox 360 controller so that's all right yeah uh and then we got some movies coming out this week Tomorrowland comes out this week uh you already saw it so here's your review I have seen it here's my review it is a movie that is by brad bird who if you didn't know has also made the incredibles and the iron giant amongst other fine few retro-futurism themed films my big thing is is that Brad Bird and I share a common love of an optimistic future and this movie Tomorrowland kind of has that as its central kind of tenants there's that's sort of the not the MacGuffin but yeah Tomorrowland is kind of the MacGuffin in the movie um but one of the things that it's it's not getting great reviews so I'm going to put this right out there there are a lot of critics who are like not in this like I didn't like it I thought it was a little uneven and I don't disagree with that like I think that there are some like fact there's some third act issues I think that I would love to have changed but um generally speaking I loved the message of this movie so much even though it was a little heavy-handed that I that I found it watchable that I enjoyed it so for me it was like I really this movie because it spoke to me personally on a deep level because of how much i love this serve like what other people tell people why they should see a traditions you should see it if you love the idea of a if you miss sort of the the nostalgia of positive utopian futures like the Jetsons i'll just sum up what you said you said if you like the concept of the show and kind of what we hope to intent like what we intend possess then you're going to love this me like it's all about the positivity and where the positive angles that sci-fi is going all of technology is going and the things that means to us and all the positivity and thank you that's pretty much it I was waiting for you to get to them ya feel I positivity I mean it really is it's optimism about the future because like that if you have optimism about the future this is you'll enjoy this movie it is watchable I'm not saying it's the greatest movie I've ever seen I because I saw Mad Max last weekend but it is a good movie that I enjoyed and I feel like if I had or knew children find new any children I would take them to go see ya it's a great it's gonna be a good family movie I snatch some kids and go to thank you I you when is Danna you interviewed brad bird I did I interviewed brad bird and a junket about epcot which kale and I are very big Disney fans were very Walt Disney fans and we got to ask him a couple of questions so i will actually be playing that right now ro on the show tomorrow's the show sorry i wish it was today but we there's some there were some approvals that I needed to get oh so there was a red bird well yeah well Disney and then also from my boss so our boss oh she has to approve it before it gets on this yeah Laura Laura Cena as we call her mrs. C nut sup Laura so anyway Tomorrowland comes out in an also movie I missed the last week and I feel really bad because I love this movie I love the first one pitch perfect 2 was out last week but look if you didn't see it which a lot of people did it made a bunch of money yeah go see HD 60 million I think yeah bit so close to 70 60 70 yes 69 points something million so it did very very well this this last weekend but I will go see it and I also you were friend in this Lula's in this movie my friend Flula Flula I'll of it I can't wait to see it he's been doing a lot of press around yeah he's very excited about it he looks snazzy on the red carpet and everything I really this is a good no offense Anna Kendrick I know I'm sorry I'm will go see it for Flula see it for Flula you can put that right on the box sorry can't drink quote that's a pull quote see it for Flula see you poulos oh that's new releases which now we can get finally to the user feedback about the VR suit from last week last week oh you're talking about a million years ago so let's hate user feedback the our suit yeah the VR suit alright so to refresh your memory and kales memory we talked about the Tesla suit which is a suit that you wear in conjunction with VR that has these sort of bands on each of your arms and it yeah does heat and cool and haptic feedback and like all this stuff to give you this really kind of intense virtual reality experience so we asked you guys would you dig this suit what would you how would you use it what would you put game how would you how to use it okay where's it going Neil wrote in and said that knowing mm-hmm when you heard the Tesla suit was machine washable dirty minds think alike TD tells and I again right it can I thought about it again when you were describing it's just like yeah oh man this is gonna be a problem Richard brought in he sent us two tweets he said awesome but it would be fun to use as a prank on a friend passed out by playing call of duty his hashtag firefight haha and then wrote I had to share that but the game I would love to play Skyrim diverse climate and terrain hashtag adventure you know that's all sounds fun and good you're like I wouldn't be cool really experiencing I know but it's freezing and then and then a lagging bird dragon burned you bad like see that's a thing like VR can only go so far we're gonna hate it so well before it ends up being the matrix it's like dude I've the game you die in real life yeah yeah like I thought it would be fun but like I don't know it's really hot at ringside radiation thirsty Tesla the Tesla suit a fallout version comes with plutonium embedded inside the bands and it just lets out a little bit of radiation every time it you can't get good at a game no and then lastly up the Tesla suit dev team wrote to us I said Tesla suit comes as a full body smart morphsuit thank you for the expelled great exposure see you on Kickstarter so that wasn't a sick you didn't answer the question no what we talked about how it remember I said if it came as a morphsuit i think i would get it for it so they said it does it does in fact comes more so you can get it all together all the pieces together cuz member they said they sold them in resurrect nagging at them all so now I know what I'm gonna kill for his birthday i wish they had it i wish they had answered the question though i would guess what they'd want to do with it very true so they're like we want to murder everybody like just secretly it's no it's like an evil villain it's like an evil villain super villain like James they seem like very nice people well just all super villains seem like very nice people at first that I think I'd be a more tanjo okay fair enough fair well we don't know how he started maybe seemed like a nice guy first I don't know maybe when he was young Emmert and Joey when he was little and more tan Joey don't Logan hasn't seen it maybe some people alright fair enough all right but uh
