2015-07-15
on today's show a hands-free wheelchair that could change the game for disabled people a pod that I will absolutely never stay in on the side of a mountain and put down your shot glass because now you can just breathe in alcohol woohoo tomorrow daily greetings citizens of the internet welcome to tomorrow daily the best geek talk-show the known universe I'm Ashley skellige enemies always kill anonymous can we just really briefly before we jump into the headline to discuss how disappointing the Amazon Prime day sales have been it it's completely useless don't even look don't bother there's just nothing there you're wasting your time what are some of the sales it's like soccer ankle braces I saw there was there was like one DVD on sale lozenges they blew it the best thing I can say is that probably from all the disappointment which there's already a negative hashtags about this there's Amazon sale that we talked about yesterday in case you missed yeah the best thing is that next year they're definitely gonna try and make up for what they did this year I should have they're gonna have to as a PR like stick they're gonna have to fix this next year so thanks the best thing really quick before I jump into headlines my favorite tweet about it was I hope the person I want the person responsible for Amazon Prime day to come to my funeral so that they can let me it's and lower me into the ground so they can let me down one last time like and I thought that that was very poignant and hilarious alright and sad so on that on that depressing note thanks a lot of Amazon letteth headlines look I'm not tired of finding ways to get drunk yes that's I think a good it's you're like a alcohol explorer yeah so with that we'd like to introduce you to alcoholic architecture because they found a new way for you to get drunk and that is through breathing it in no longer are you constrained by liquids this is from bumpass and parse to do that focus on flavor based designs and installations and they're creating alcoholic architecture which is basically a room you go into and breathe in alcohol it's a fully immersive alcoholic environment it's it's pretty cool so basically you breathe this stuff in not only through your lungs but also through your eyeballs we wear a protective outfit so that you don't get wet but the there's a humidifier that saturates the air with the cocktail of a hundred and forty percent humidity and it you can only spend check this out this is interesting you only spend fifty minutes in there and that's the equivalent of a very strong alcoholic drink oh that's alright yeah she's pretty fun yeah it seems pretty cool and also scary I don't like breathing stuff in through my eyes yeah and also it's just a hundred and forty percent humidity I mean imagine the worst summer in like Florida the worst summer day in Florida that you've ever the worst humidity of ever experienced and like maybe it's a little worse than that so you feel like your dream you're drinking anyway yeah it it opens up in six months so at the at the I'm sorry it opens for six months and it's gonna open July 30th so if you're in London you can go check this out again it's called alcoholic architecture this is delightful and it's weird you know uh it's funny I don't know if you watch Parks and Rec but we've already kind of seen Tom Haverford who's like the silly character he's always on the next trend well guess what Tom you were right here's a clip from Parks and Rec in which he actually kind of foresaw this this is the wrong way to consume alcohol so there you go like a new age bar you breathe in your alcohol this is a new age bar that looks better than this then than this one because like you said 140% community it's high school a lot so you're not you're not complicated like you know you can buy that little cold humid of shirts I don't I don't see why not yeah I can see it you only spent 50 minutes in there there you go I spend a little under an hour at this weird little pub okay architecture alcoholic architecture that is amazing all right I want to tell you guys about the ogo wheelchair so the OCO wheelchair is really interesting because it actually came from a Segway yeah they get the idea of a segue so Segway was kind of built to be this kind of revolution and personal mobility like individual mobility and it looks really dorky like that's that it looks dorky but this guy in New Zealand was like you know what I could take the core idea of the Segway take out its guts and put it into a wheelchair that could be controlled with the torso so it uses only core strength of the user to move so this is you know with wheelchairs so you either have you have a few options you can push the wheels you can have somebody push you you can use a remote control like a joystick or refers people who don't have the use of their hands they can use their mouth so like Stephen Hawking for example so this wheelchair is an electric wheelchair that is pretty much the first of its kind it you could see he leans forward to move forward and he leans back to slow down and this is huge for anybody who can't use their arms in a wheelchair like this might open up mobility options for people who have never really had them before this is really really impressive stuff it can move up to 20 kilometers an hour this guy was a he's a plastics product designer so he actually made that fiberglass shell of the wheelchair himself like he designed it himself and it's pretty impressive looking and it uses the segways gyroscopic stabilization and its control system to allow the user to like basically lean forward lean back to control it so you you can totally either have full use of your arm or if you can't use your arms or you don't have arms to control a wheelchair you don't need them so it's that is pretty impressive stuff and he says that he wants to take this commercial he absolutely wants to make this available to the market someday but he does need either investors or crowdfunding he's still working on what exactly he wants to do with that but he wants to enter mass production within a few years that's incredible pretty amazing yeah it actually didn't look like it took up a lot of room either you know I think it's it's less cumbersome than if you needed to have like the whole controller and stuff like that that's incredible looks sleek and it's electric so it doesn't you know it's not like there's not like a loud motor or anything like that it's just you know it's a Segway motor so it's just you lean part it's pretty quiet like which is so cool like I just think it's great that this guy you know thought of this idea he was inspired by a friend of his who's paraplegic and was like you know what it takes some segue guts um build wheelchair I hope he finds a way to make all the money that he wants sherry well I mean like it seems like a no-brainer yeah this seems like something that some investor I'm sure will invest in and bring to mass market so really great work my friend this guy's name just so you know is Kevin Hollis all that's his name he's a New Zealander he's an inventor high fives to you all right kill we hate Heights we have to talk about this place that we're never gonna stand but someone else might want to stand because the the price is actually pretty reasonable this is called the adventure suite at the the Sky Lodge adventure suite at the Natura Vives Sky Lodge in Cusco Peru you can see it is hanging from the side of a mountain and it is all glass well you just look out all windows is totally clear this is insane and you have to climb up a mountain to get there there they have like the previous part of this video if you go look at all look at it online is them literally taking it climbing up this mountain to get to these sky lodges they're calling it a million star resort because you can see all the stars in the sky at night which is kind of funny these these things are 24 feet long and eight feet high so you can stand in them they have four beds area a bathroom that also has glass windows it's separate from the other there is a divider from the bedroom part of it but when you're in the bathroom it's also like clear it's clear oh yeah so there you know if there's like a mountain goat hanging around like it's gonna watch you do your business which is kind of funny they'll leave a glass of wine in there for you which you're obviously gonna need after a long day climbing up the mountain him to calm you down to just soothe your anxiety of falling all the way down inside this pod the lights are powered by solar panels so you can actually have light at night which is cool the pod is made of aerospace aluminum and it's about 400 feet in the air and it overlooks Sacred Valley in Cusco Peru so conversion rate how much do you think that you would pay for this in u.s. dollars for the experience like to climb up there stay at night and then climb back in 150 150 night it's a little more than that it's cold it's aiming high 200 its 290 dollars a night three hundred dollars a night but well no it's because you only stay for one night because it's for the whole experience you can't stay in there for like a weekend you can't say it's like so to climb up there they do the whole thing where it's like you you do the mountain climb you stay there and then you come back down the next day it's all okay that seems like excursions and I know in Mexico we did one where we went to a Mayan with jacoba and we got to climb like the the Mayan pyramids and all the stuff and it was really neat that costs us I think like I want to say a hundred and twenty bucks a person so which included transportation everything so I would say that's like pretty pretty reasonable all things considered I would imagine it includes like you know shuttle to the to the location climbing equipment all that stuff right yeah I don't know it's I don't trust myself in this sort of situation and also the toilet thing actually I would like the toilet thing I know every part of it like oh hey Rico even on the pro well yeah I guess it's all for fun it's all for like a little fun experience yeah and it looks like how many people can say like four it says four beds and I think one of them's like a queen-size beds you could probably fit like five or six people in there mm-hmm pretty pretty decent 290 bucks a night split six ways it's not so bad seems alright alright guys we're gonna take a quick break we're gonna come right back with Mod Squad has to do with the tortilla it's weird huh it's short and interesting and weird but stick around tomorrow daily welcome back to the show we've returned it's Wednesday which means we get to talk about all the weird crazy stuff people cobbled together with what's around so this is Mod Squad funnily enough all of the things in that graphic not involved in this mod squad because the main star of this mod squad is an unbaked tortilla hmm so this is this is so weird like I said it's short it's weird it's interesting totally silly rapture records decided you know what tortillas kind of look like records right so they threw it in a laser etcher and had it laser etched out music the Mexican hat back dance song I was going to say that's the only song they could put on there really offended my people would be offended my people Mikhail's would be offended if you didn't do that yes all the chaos so yeah and then they cut a little hole out of the middle guy put the uncooked tortilla right on a record player and was actually able to get music to play off of the 13th I think we can probably turn it up there you go that's that it sounds like a like a record from the 1800s that is you know been in a garbage dump for a hundred years but they were able to get music off of it which is insane to me yeah I did not think that that was possible done with it you eat it you eat your music I love a picture of it with bite marks in it after they were done they were able they actually eat the tortilla I was shocked that they didn't treat it I thought when I saw the picture the the thumbnail I was like okay they like treated this tortilla with some kind of like polymers that like dipped it in plastic or something and then late laser etched in right no they just took it on coke yeah I love that we've gotten to that level of science where we gonna screw around making tortillas in the records yeah I mean that's the world I want peak civilization tortilla records well done we're good so nice job right here to yours thank you well played that was a pun it's time for user feedback all right so we asked everybody yesterday to use Katie flyby have you seen the new you haven't seen the new picture yet from I think you're driving over here from NASA yeah I was laying by Pluto to get my place well that seems that's like traffic in LA you have to actually go around through Pluto to get here the fastest it's real interesting apparently Pluto is so young that there aren't really any crater impact sites the way that we've seen on other like major planets it's a dwarf planet I get it but it's so young that they don't really see any evidence of that and there's these big what looked like ice mountains that could be up to you know 11,000 feet high and stuff like that yeah I mean that's pretty impressive when you consider that when I was a kid I was covered in craters yeah until what like 15 16 yeah all over so um so anyway we asked you guys use the hashtag TD flyby to tell us where you would want to fly by what you want to get a high-res picture of Dustin wrote in and said as close as safely possible flyby of a black hole I am sure Stephen Hawking would approve that's pretty cool I would love to see a black hole in action even even flying by it like I would be like nope no no no no no terrifying scary scarier than would you rather stay in that glass pot yes okay then fly by million times yeah I'll never see my friends again like okay that's fair to all to all two of your friends me and Logan hey producer Logan Oliver wrote in and said the Marvel Universe and a world where every cartoon character is there even attack on Titan Titans so why'd you don't want attack on Titan - why did you specifically say you wanted attack on Titan Titans there that's that's horrifying he's adding just oh my god where that planet is and I'm not going I'll never go there yeah hey soos Roden said the event horizon of supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy got a transition might be a problem though that's why you send tars in right you send tars you gotta get sassy tars with you on that mission Mitchell wrote in and said I'd take the LG g4 strap it to the current camera choose best view and manual mode and enter it for phone talker for her I like that you're thinking hard about what you do at that picture after you were done sending it out which is send it to us yeah which is exactly what the next person did this is to phone target for the day just pull it out that way you would have been you realize how funny it would have been if you would put the Pluto image as the photogra for the day I thought about it and said like this one is from ours our friend Pluto mr. NASA who took a selfie of himself didn't do it did you what did you do I didn't so kind of Pluto related but not Pluto the dwarf planet okay you'll really like it you're a Disney kid like I am Matthew wrote in he said hey my family just got back from a trip to Disney World and we had so much fun anyway I was taking pictures like crazy these are just a few of my favorites that I took throughout the week I picked this one on a sidenote I picked the Epcot ball at night Annie said I took these with my iphone six-plus loved the show that's from Matthew he took this amazing nighttime picture of the Epcot ball which I just really like the only thing missing is fireworks in the background I like this type of future this is spaceship earth is what the name of the ride that's inside of this ball uh-huh is so it and it's it's perfectly aligned with the show it's about technology through the years and what it's meant to the growth of humanity yes and it's also a really boring ride super boring so but a great way to escape the heat in Florida and because there's not really a big line most of the time you can just jump in that line and interesting fact yeah that's actually a really good strategy interesting fact Teddy Roosevelt is actually on that ride as a as a Roman because they they couldn't get him like his animatronic to work but they were like well let's not throw it away so he's dressed up as a Roman in the Roman time period not know that yeah and you know way too much about that I told you I'm way down way too much stuff about now one day kill and I are gonna go write a book about all the secrets of Disney and Disney World Disneyland's and Disney worlds all around the globe I think we should I think people would read it there's also like a there's also a theory that they they pump in some really like docile but like that that rides meant to make you like lavender chamomile yeah maybe they don't pump in maybe ah listen maybe to humidified alcohol let's all be honest that it could be that there's a lot of mist in those rights I'm saying alright guys if you want to send in your phone tog Rafi you can email us tomorrow at Sina calm you can always find us on social media at tomorrow daily on Twitter if you're looking for looking for the show but really you kind of want to find us yeah and if you want to add us on Twitter which would be fun you get out man at kill on this yeah and you can add me out ashle us together well that's it for the show today we'll be back tomorrow for a last show of the week forever burn it down look that could be the case event we've got food oh we know we're we know it's a real thing hack it in guys get out of me we're done that's all we wanted to do that's why we created this show right to find glue to take high-res pictures of Pluto and we're now mission accomplished guys so we'll be back tomorrow but it's old and vegan human - see you next time you
