Tomorrow Daily - Bionic dog Brutus has all four legs fitted with prosthetics, Ep. 159

2015-04-09
on today's show a dog that gets four Bionic legs and seems super happy Lego announced today that your Legos are going to be coming to life it's not April Fool's joke it's just it's it's crazy just and a teeny teeny teeny tiny computer that can sit on the edge of a nickle probably gonna lose it tomorrow daily greetings citizens of the internet welcome to tomorrow daily the best speak talk show in the known universe I'm your host Ashley Scott to join me as always doing some kind of martial art Oh praying mantis I see it I like it kill anonymous what's up killer did you vote get the end there that's a very specification it's an ancient trick I can't really tell you about it yeah some people die learning it but we had to when we were doing the stories today we had to juggle them around because we're like which one's more exciting yeah there's this Lego one I'm scare sighted about yeah well your wallet should be terrified I put my wallet in the other room for this story I'm crying yeah all right here it started with this crazy dog okay do it so the dogs not actually crazy it's not crazy I Cujo this is a real dog and I'm it's it's a sad story it starts off really sad but then it gets like a hundred times better so just get ready for your feels this is story about a dog named Brutus Brutus when he was a puppy was left out and sub like freezing temperatures sub-zero temperatures and the breeder of this dog saw that it had really bad frostbite on all of its legs and so just cut off all of it all of this dog's legs just took him off cuz that breeder is a terrible human being just really bad example of how to be a decent person okay but it gets better I promise because Brutus was rescued and his foster family I mean he has a ton of people loved this dog and so they decided that they were going to put together crowdfunding to get Brutus some prosthetics cuz he had like a little kind of stroller thing but they wanted him to be able to walk cuz he's a dog and dogs love to walk and run and have fun so they did that and they went they went online and they crowdfunded some Bionic legs for Brutus Brutus is now a bionic dog he has all four of his legs are are fitted with prosthetics he's rolling out with four of them yeah have we done how does that happen before I think they said that there are only he is one of two dogs that have all four legs as prosthetic so he is of a very rare breed now pause static squeak all the pasta cedex you're telling the story okay he got the the Bionic legs are from a company called ortho pets which does prosthetics for animals and he now has all four legs fitted he does therapy sessions with Colorado State's vet Hospital which is pretty cool and he was actually recently like officially fully adopted which is awesome but it seems like ever since this dog got rescued he's had a pretty big family like just tons of people absolutely love this dog I'm so there he is doing physical therapies on like a balanced board with his prosthetics like kind of learning how to use them standing up like he totally is got it no he's he's look he's walking around it's like the best story ever and I saw this video and I got a little choked up because I love dogs and and animals in general and I just got so happy because this dog 10-15 years ago this dog they would have been like this dogs unadoptable we have to just put it down which would be a tragedy it would be a terrible thing but now Brutus has a whole full new lease on life because he gets four Bionic legs that is insane it's like the best story oh yeah nicely done I just I literally wanted everybody to go off into the weekend like just being so happy and this is the reason why you can tell everybody about this story I love that how much he's like actually adapted to it yeah it's it's that's really inspiring it's just so inspiring I love it so much and that's actually I like that's our hashtag of the day because I want everybody to talk about this but I thought so Brutus already has Bionic legs so our hashtag is TD Brutus what are you gonna do and I was wondering you know like we should think of other things that we could give Brutus they don't have to be like body modification but other things we could give him and maybe we could turn him into a superhero dog like I would give him a jetpack yeah dog jetpack Furness come back so do you have some flying around like land on his Bionic legs and Rhine like it would be great okay all right or maybe like a helmet that dispenses treats okay all right you really look at it I love dogs listen I want to give this dog the best life like if I was Oprah rich I would give this dog life ever like I'd find a way to have Eli must create him a Tesla and like he could drive fast around like I'd find ways to make this dog's life the greatest life ever right on okay what would you do well I'm more of a cat person okay because I was born and raised on the Internet my cats Oh basically the same thing but I would give him some sort of like I don't know if you ever played the game metal gear like he has that camouflage oh yeah shoot so I would let him like do like camouflage you could change colors I like it yeah so he'd be like Bionic but he'd be able to turn into a rock or what I like yeah he could be invisible so there you go what is it TD what TD Brutus Brutus all right it's named after a very nice hashtag all right so I got a I got a I got a doozy to talk to you about rights you are really different success of the lego movie and just how big of the possibilities there are out there Lego has decided they're just gonna bring all that right bright back to you with lego dimensions now what you know what this is is they imagine sky lino Skylanders you know Disney infinity it's like that so it's endless dimensions endless universes and all you have to do is buy all of their little toys we add this on NFC portals and you put them on there and and you kind of explore okay so let's let's talk about the cool things how can we talk about much this is gonna hurt your wallet yeah I was gonna say this seems like your school expense it's the mixing and matching of characters which is just a great thing a starter pack comes with a Gandalf there Batman wild style and and then you have to build this little tiny portal to play with you build it put it on the NFC to thing and it activates oh my god so this is already like out of the gate just a really cool sounding like easiest thing to play with so yeah so you get to its the storyline is about a villain tearing rifts between all the Lego worlds oh yeah whoops it's a good excuse to like get all the different franchises together correct and you'll be able to have minifigure minifigures vehicles gadgets levels all available through the game via the NFC base so there's a there's a lot to swallow here if you know anything about skylander and Disney infinity imagine that but with Legos and apparently a lot of intellectual properties from WB I was gonna say this seems like there are a lot of Frant like a lot of IPs that we're all really familiar of course like Lego does everything yeah every some of the ones that they plan and then we're gonna get to price okay pricing so wait some of the ones they plan or lower the Rings WB Wizard of Oz oh oh look at the minifig oh my god I'm gonna buy this back to the future DC comics and more it all sounds like WB yeah thanks a lot of Warner Brothers Inc Back to the Future is universal I think so yeah but still the possibilities are endless you could be any movie franchise Harry Potter I think Harry Potter that's right anything that's already been a lego okay so to get started starter pack is $100 okay next I'm spending all right Ramona comes with Batman Gandalf wyldstyle and the Lego Batmobile you know that's actually not that bad considering how much Legos cost and then the those other little starter packs whether in Lord of the Rings wizard arrives fifteen to thirty dollars each oh ouch yeah again believe it or not still not bad if you go to the store and look at how much Legos cool yeah I was gonna say like one Lego set sometimes there's there you go you can see on screen sort of eyes these are all these little great games now I need really confused because Lego already tried this online thing and it didn't work out but I think this is a little bit different in that this is sort of a sand like a scene I have a feeling you're gonna have a sandbox situation very much like the toy box in Disney infinity yeah we're gonna be able to actually like put together Legos in in a virtual space into whatever you want and then sort of make gate little games for yourself and things like that cuz I'm in the toy box like people are making like platformers and all sorts right you can use you can use up to seven dimension items at once at once yeah once so that's a lot so again like and I'm not trying to elongate the story it's just it's good to know that they're actually putting some work into it wow that sounds awesome but but like what it looks like we didn't see any what it looks like didn't see any gameplay that looks kind of like rendered out stuff yeah I have a feeling it so it may not look as good but it made okay so we're gonna get this September 20 seven so we're likely to see something at e3 yeah no here's there's a giant booth well how can you play it well you can play it on Xbox one 360 ps4 ps3 and the Wii U which is good news for you me as a PC guy I'm going to buy something else we have a 360 I have it yeah who cares though but there you go so yeah I'm more interested to know if this if any but cuz because ultimately people are driven by their fandoms now of course yeah so the fact that they said Back to the Future is enough to drive me but then they said wonderings Batman I'm sucked in so they may just be like oh they work out a deal with Disney I will do Lego Star Wars animalyzer infinity Star Wars who knows we'll find out more how do the Caribbean also had a lego one kid you know Lego is just it seems like Lego is friends with everybody so it's I mean I would imagine just like Legos the possibilities are endless like I mean like just those partnerships it seems like they have a lot of goodwill with all of those companies so I'll be really curious to see if like Disney gets on board with this if we see you know other companies getting on board saying like well you know I know that we have our own thing but then maybe may be good to have a lego thing too I've seen a lot of grown men and women that have buckles under their fandoms they fall into this stuff whether it be Disney infinity or skynox Skylanders yeah you fall into it then as an adult with the expose double income yeah it's a rabbit hole yeah but I'm I'm excited to see it I'm excited to see it - we'll see you by the way sure Lego weird choice using joel mchale as the person selling it I like me some Joel McHale I may be a sarcastic guy that doesn't really like everything is not a great choice yeah he seemed annoyed by Gandalf food jack would have been good oh yeah Wow I'm sorry that's bad terrible this is time for our next time it is let me tell you about this tiny PC because this is pretty crazy I saw a picture of this and I just my jaw dropped a little bit cuz it looks incredible so this is called the Michigan micro moat or the that's this of a nickel by the way well that's the side of a nickel the cuy I like I almost want Logan to just go back producer logo needs to go back and we just pause the screen right on Pat Nick look at that that's great it's a normal sized nickel and that's a little computer that's a working computer on the side of the nickel it is one millimeter cubed one millimeter cubed okay so tell me about this little tiny guy so it is from the University of Michigan it is from their computer science department it took them more than a decade to make this it can take pictures it can read temperatures and record pressure readings and it also is so small that it can be injected into your body today did they say that yes to perform ECGs it can be used as an object tracker so one of the examples they gave us what you would maybe use this for is you would you'd pop that right on your your keys or you would pop it on to your phone or you would any you'll be able to find it wherever it was in the house and then also they because it's so small they don't use a standard battery to keep it charged they actually program and charge it via strobing light at really high frequency yeah look at how small it is that's on a penny it's not a penny in processes here's the it's it's all like it's very small like custom-built stuff it's not they're not using like an Edison chip or anything this is like they've been working ten years on this this is this is crazy technology I love this soap like Fantastic Voyage tiny like go into your blood show like the little school bus like the Magic School Bus it's like that yeah so um they were saying it's ready for production but here's where it gets even crazier team is not stopping at this teeny tiny computer they're saying they want to make an even smaller computer and they're calling them as a kind of like kind of self retro referentially joking about it calling it smart dust that's how small they want these computers yeah like so tiny they could be like little particles in the air No and they were saying that someday they want to be able to stick a chip no inside a cell no yeah these guys are all about no micro don't like computing I don't cuz you're gonna hack people then hack people I don't like that this the penny thing is already too I know we're gonna eject it into your blood no you're not already inject this into your into your system there so it's cool cool but scare citing it's Sierra sighting I like that a lot of our show centers around things that are terrifying but also really exciting they actually said like this is science fiction becoming real like one of the people running this project was talking about how like this absolutely sounds like science fiction and it totally is you know it's it's all fine and good that they come out of the game with like it's really gonna be good for your health we're gonna make it into us so it doesn't have to be injected yourself and then some guy some guy that's bald it has like a scar on his face and he's petting a cat he's like yes I can use this technology and then Apple also is like yeah we're going to screw well that's the guy running Apple right yeah the guy running Apple is just some it's like Lex Luthor is running a lot okay wait hold on Logan does this scare you at all they're saying medical uses internet of things all kinds of some industrial I mean really kind of limitless uses for this that's look at that's it program getting programmed so they this life is so blind they program it through the white that's cool yeah it's crazy so um so yeah that's how that's how it works which I mean just this was me like I was literally the Internet me was like like I couldn't believe that that was a real thing so that is a real thing that's a real working computer you're welcome internet you're welcome humanity and we're also we're really sorry because this obviously is the beginning of the end the dust thing when they said smart dust I was like they're real bad very bad idea but I love it I also oh there's a bunch of computer please of coughing up computers I like the flash I looked it up on WebMD as a symptom coughing up computer help me alright guys we're gonna take a quick break we'll be right back with around into it and of course we have your user feedback and our phone Tiger for the day so don't click away it's tomorrow daily welcome back to the show we've returned it's Thursday which means we like to talk about things that we're obsessed with this is into it Kayla you've been having a very week were you looking at my catch it was checking out your ketchup sock it is pretty good I always I like that we have a variety of socks okay oh so you've been following me on my fave you follow me on on my facebook my Twitter any of that I know what you've been doing this week you know that I'm Way behind and late in the game into falling into the mobile world yes MOBAs so unfortunately for me coming out of the gate there's multiple MOBAs that I can fall up all prey to so I've been going all around this is what I'm into this week because I wanted like I want to watch the competitive gaming but mostly heroes of the storm obviously this is only in beta so there's kind of a select few that can play it it's a blast yeah the thing that I was telling you and we kind of had slightly differing opinions on is that the beauty and heroes of the storm is kind of in its simplicity but there's a difficulty in in that I mean it's a difficult game MOBAs are not just like I'm gonna walk in and play it but I've been hopping between this and League of Legends have mostly been playing this with my friends it's fun to kind of like I haven't had that sort of like team-based friend game in a long time don't you play call of duty and just have my friends go do their own thing yeah but even I get out and I just run in but yeah it's a blast the run rotation right now is Nova which is the sniper so I've been having some fun with that if you want to add me on on here's the storm my name is dr. president VR president so yeah not not mr. president but dr. president and if you tweet at me because you don't have beta access I might have beta keys Oh in my account because they gave a bunch of beta people keys and I think I have some so if you tweet at me and you really want to play heroes of the storm I might be able to figure that then you're then it can be you're into it as well but anyway yeah I'm just hopping into that I'm having a great time I'm not usually yes kind of like top-down kind of guy so yeah I like I like Diablo so this is like kind of a fun it reminds me of Diablo the top-down kind of you know strategy type thing but I mean it's obviously totally different gameplay wise yeah but son I really love I mean I'm excited to be a millionaire from playing MOBAs like everybody else is gonna say your career is just starting your sports career have you heard of this just really made all the mobile babes have you heard there's now like fantasy eSports like where you can pick fantasy or you can pick eSports players and then like win money like this is that really wanna do that I have to show it to you I saw it this morning and I was like I have to remember to tell kill about this yeah there's like a thing now that's like and they just got a whole big round of funding and all sorts of stuff like I saw it though and I thought of you and I might kill is gonna get really into this yeah I watched the Vice documentary about you sports players that's a good one yeah it's really advices lots of good stuff you've if your personal opinion didn't like the host but still it was a while yeah he was just like who do it no no it's not you're a documentary trust me half of these gamers make more money than you're doing here oh the HBO now you should definitely check out all the lot of the Vice decorous so good because a lot of people are just now subscribing HBO now so if you get that you should check it out so okay what are you into this week I'm into this this little beauty right here don't drop it my beauty on taking pictures right now with it that's a great photo this is this is the Fuji x100t I'm gonna put a Vanna White it a little bit after we come back from this video but here's that this is like the glamour shots from the from the Fuji YouTube account of course it looks fantastic this is the third-generation model of the x100 series they have the x100 the 100's now the 100 t my favorite thing hybrid viewfinder which is exactly we're looking at right now there's an electronic rangefinder it's amazing you could pop that up you can actually like look in there and see exactly like is your focus in check it is crazy good I love it so much I'm a big camera nerd and I am NOT I had a Canon 60d and I I sold it because I I don't need a interchangeable lens DSLR system like it's just not I'm not a professional photographer I did use a lot of it for video work but now I do this show and we have black man's like cinema cameras in here and we don't really take them anywhere so and plus we have producer Logan for that stuff so we're gonna are you gonna wait let's get a picture of kale taking a picture I don't even know I'm trying I'm trying to do thing it's just looking at oh yeah just it's just like the video it's amazing mm-hmm so yeah it's true of this thing it's how much was it you sandwich it was uh it was $12.99 and then I bought a bottle hood an adapter lens adapter got a UV filter on there got a bunch of stuff to video yeah yeah sure it's a it's so nice and it's to paraphrase Ferris Bueller it's so choice and I if you have the if you have the means I highly recommend picking one up if you want to see your photos they can follow you on Instagram yeah if you um I I like to I post pics look at it for you it has a video feature on it it's like Wi-Fi where you can send it directly to your phone and I really like that because now I don't have to mess around on my computer like you know futzing around with exposure and filters and all that stuff because usually you have your you take a picture you upload it to your computer you do all of your post-processing and then you have to put it back on your phone or you know somehow you get back on your phone and then you can post it to social media if you're using like Instagram because you can't post via browser to Instagram so now you just hit the Wi-Fi button you connect right to your phone or to your tablet whatever you can edit your pictures right there and they're just sharing which is so nice but yeah I'm obsessed with it it's like my favorite thing ever is a birthday present to myself I was like you know what it's gotta treat yourself and I did so I went to bought it and I loved it and it's my favorite birthday present of all time from myself of course very cool so that's what I'm into um but you guys are also into things and you're way smarter than us and I'll explain why so let's talk about your user feedback well I felt like a real idiot today when I read that user feedback because you guys had really good ideas they always have better ideas than us I don't know why today's surprise today especially more like especially more intelligent than what especially I put forward yesterday which was a terrible idea compared to everybody else okay we asked you guys use the hashtag was dumb real dumb yesterday I said so we use that we asked you guys use hashtag TD tree tell us what you want organically grow out of the ground you guys came on some really good ones a lot of you just used trees or wood so Frank wrote in and said grow me a group lamp nothing is more authentic than a group made from a real living tree I mean I think that company needs a pivot immediately and start making group glimpse cuz I feel like that would make a lot of money my angst I wrote in and said I'd love to have a grand piano grown out of stone it just imagine how massive that would be a great piano yeah I guess you would just carve it the carving right now just a granite or something Joe wrote in and said phone cases swappable phone backs computer shells outside of the outside of a mouse swappable keys for a keyboard xbox controller shell endless just cut too many ideas using Joseph's trying to start a business over that dad Joe had so many ideas that that's what me I feel so I felt so dumb like after I read these I was like wow wow you you failed at GD Trias gotta you really ruined everything hey Zeus wrote in and said give me an organic spaceship I want the Leviathan Moya from Farscape to starburst now whoa gracious yeah that's like there's an organic spaceship in the comic book saga which is pretty great if you want to check out saga yeah like that no I'd live they did that so Douglas wrote and said I think growing houses could be a cool idea you get a new rumor story every 10 years that one I was really impressed with because I was like wow why didn't we think of that why did we not think of that I'm yeah pretty great for soga Neil wrote in a freshly grown bed every night like a gorilla's nest with cotton puff sheets and sea sponge pillow I'm tired now he said I love I love how descriptive he was but great another great idea millions of them and then finally Chris emailed us and wrote I want them to grow disposable cups every time I see a Styrofoam cup I think ah it's 2015 and pretty common knowledge that styrofoam doesn't disintegrate and yet these cuts are still here see that's good like that's good thinking about the area to replace something that we're already doing yeah of course their IQ each individually is bigger than ours combined so thank you guys very much for those thank you we really appreciate what's today's again as a reminder TD Brutus TD Brutus make sure you tell us what what fun other things you could give Brutus to make him a Superdog even though he already is and finally
