2015-07-06
on today's show two robots get married controlling a Range Rover with a smartphone and an archaic console by Sony and Nintendo has been unveiled Oh amazing tomorrow daily greetings citizens of the Internet welcome to tomorrow daily the best ski talk show who known universe I'm Ashley scale that Jamie's always Kel anonymous the man the myth the pizza uh happy weekend is over day you said you had a pretty good fourth of July which was nice I had that stupid hot dog pizza that they just introduced here in the States I'm surprised you're still standing I hated that was it disgusting well not for like the moment the moment the pieces touch your tongue and you chew like once twice you're like hey all right and then it has to be a part of your body and it's just disgusting and it's not so with pretzel bun to so like it was like extra salt much yeah I drank like 14 gallons water afterwards just to heal myself so that was my fourth that's two extra gallons and what kale normally drinks in a day it's pretty pretty serious all right guys let's have deadlines do here I we here we here open phone line somebody's calling somebody okay I'm gonna give you one guess as to where this took place two robots got married uh Mars close Japan so the world's first robot wedding happened and well I think that's there's not much more you can say about it but we have some footage it's this is insane it's a it's an actual robot wedding between two robots not like a person trying to marry a robot or a doll or whatever the bride is ukuran looks really humanoid modeled after and a pop star in japan and then the groom which you can see right there the red froy's on they were escorted up to the front that's him trying to kiss the bride there need a little help from the human yep there you go all right great work the humans also had to recite their their robot vows they datos because you know people don't speak robot yet um they could cut their own wedding cake like you saw and this is the reception they have little robot backup dancers there was a hundred or so attendees they pay to each paid about 80 bucks to attend this robot wedding but in Italy not legally binding these two are not actually married because robot rights is not a thing yet and they they don't recognize robot and robot marriages in Japan so that's they're gonna have to wait a little bit we still got a long way to go worlds we got to get those robots man there yet not there yet um this I just saw this story just thought it was a amazing and perfect for the show and be you know the big question for me is actually our hashtag of the day which is TD wed bots which is what do you get the happy couple what do you what's the what do you what gift you get them are they where were they register I'm still trying to process the story I know it's really can't really answer this question it's a little bit crazy I like I can't help my brain hurt I feel like maybe they was registered likely vehicles what religion of marriage was it that they married under I'm gonna go pastafarian all a go did they have a honeymoon where would they go where did they meet and on the internet or they could calm down I'm gonna answer all your questions ok well own good but complete speculation they clearly they met Annie I know I know how they're compatible but it's probably because they're programmed that way that does he have like a USB to shave like a USB port and he has like a us probably and yeah okay yeah man i'm gonna guess yes but yeah just so i just what a way to what a way to start the week with robot love robot weddings the first the world's first as far as i'm aware robot wedding so strange I'm really unsettled by this I mean why would they want to get married anyway anyway well I don't know nobody you know I find that weird nobody actually asked and do they say till death do us part or did they say something different till dismantle do they say till like we boot that like we shut down boot down yeah there's a lot of questions i would pay eighty dollars to go to this by the way a hundred percent i pay 80 bucks to go to robot wedding i'd pay maybe a little more but yeah so that's your hashtag today what what do you get a robot couple for a wedding gift what's owed you obviously had an answer to this I mean I feel like I'd get him well here's the thing i would i feel like i might get them something for their home but like they're robots so you can't really get him a toaster that feels insulting so what do you get them I mean I guess I would get them like a yeah I don't really know it's a great question I'm glad I thought of it because I don't know the answer I may be like antivirus software so that I don't get any you know get sick it's good yes sick sick okay perfect perfect okay so let's move on to a marriage of a different type yeah tell me about long long ago it was it was said it was actually true that Sony was going to make a consult with Nintendo this is something that that they've been talking about doing but the plan fell through because Nintendo decided to work with philips instead but there apparently was a console made well a reddit user has apparently found that console we now have it to actually see for the first time here it is this is the play station oh that's that's kind of weird that they such a familiar name yeah so uh so this man claims he's the son of a businessman who knew a high-ranking Sony executive back in the late 80s Early 90s and posted the images of this prototype console on reddit and assembler games let's go check it out so this is not only not only does this play console do like cartridge discs like Nintendo DS yeah cars but it plays cds like Sony wanted to so there is a boat there's like wow here's all the things we want to put it all in there and you can see it has like a super nintendo controller Wow so yeah we've never seen that we've never seen a console like this before uh-oh but yeah I mean we've heard rumors about it though right it's been a rumor for a really long time now the guy that found it he doesn't have a power connector for it so he's looking for that so that he can load this up it doesn't look like you have to have any games for it but if he can find the power thing we can see like maybe menu some users may see what what they were doing but the first and only time we've seen this super cool I I don't it looks like a monster like it looks it looks like a misguide monster it looks like like kill me cuz succeeds cartridge I can get a job and it's yeah look you can tell that it's all because of the way yellow Dow um yeah so there's nobody screaming fake by the way nobody's good faith and just like yeah they mentioned that um the guy was like oh I got it from my dad's friend Olaf which there was a guy that was in charge and antenna back then and love for something like that so there you go weird now so if i recall correctly and this is just for your own sake as as nerds fellow nerds uh it wasn't it might it wasn't III because it hadn't started yet but Sony had come out and was ty had talked about like their vision of what this machine would be and then literally like I think hours later Nintendo was like yeah about that we're not we're not gonna be we're not gonna be doing that we're gonna be going with Philips like yeah dad yeah it was just like no we're just and Sony was super embarrassed by that and actually that falling-out became the PlayStation like that's why Sony decided to make their own console so this is like a pretty big piece of video gaming history that we've never seen before which is so cool well and it's the first time we ever like heard of those two even talking to each other it's like great and also they didn't move on wait so they it was it was they went on to do the super nintendo though right yeah like Nintendo went on to do SNES and then uh and then Sony had to go back to the drawing board because Nintendo did a separation of cons of cartridge versus seen a CD right what like broke off and they each did their own yeah then Nintendo kept going with cartridge Sony said let's just keep our CD reader to the future can commit more information right right so there you go yeah super interesting stuff I mean this was the thing that was long rumored and nobody like you said no one had really ever seen a prototype and I think they I think the estimate like 200 of these might exist and a lot of them have probably been destroyed at this point so this is like insane that this is even shown up at this point in time it's amazing okay last story and then we'll get into a break and and then we'll come back with back rockets so i want to show you this jaguar land rover just showed off this prototype range rover sport and it's special because you'll see the guy gets out of the car and he pulls out his phone and he's controlling a full set car with his phone which is crazy not great Bob uh not great Bob so this is really fascinating they okay you're not going to be whipping around on the right you're not going to do to any real-life racing for this that the example here that they've given is sort of off-roading that instead of having to continually get in and out of your car every time you kind of make a move if you're off-roading you would be able to do this instead so you can sort of see exactly where the car is going and adjust um so it goes up to four miles per hour and this is what I would use it for right here getting in out of tight parking space someone parks real close to you just back the Carl it's fine you can be you can't be like two miles away sadly this will not be like James bond-esque remote-controlled cars like all that crazy stuff it goes for miles per hour like I said and also you got to be within 30 feet of it so you got to be pretty close and if you get out of that range automatically stops they also show this which is an autonomous three three-point turn let the car conduce if you need to do a u-turn you just set that up and it does it for you they did a whole bunch of a whole bunch of stuff and I just found that really fascinating that they're like hey let's let's find a way to remote-control a full-sized crossover with your smartphone mm-hmm looks like you could also use it for things like backing up to a trailer so that you hook that up because it's really not like Center those those connections yeah and also really important if you're gonna want to ghost ride the whip so that's that's always good a hundred percent we're gonna there listen I think that's probably the number one goal there's three people to watch the show the know what ghost ride the whip me and we're two of them so there you have it I said that watch I don't watch the show oh you don't watch the show oh okay well that makes one of us um so yeah that's a that I just saw that I thought was super fascinating and I kind of love this idea like you were saying sometimes you're trying to back into a space or otherwise like figure something out with the back of your car a camera doesn't really cut it sometimes when you just want to see it so this is kind of a neat little piece of technology and a really fun project it's super cool I'm glad that they put some governing on it so that you're not just like driving it on the forward I'll watch this piece it's like oh yeah this just throw somebody that's going i could totally sit on top of your car and drive it or nobody back to dad that's super cool I like this what cars it again that's a it's a range rover range rover sports a prototype so we'll see if they ever integrate this technology and with their cars I would imagine so that life scares so many people I think a lot of people be terrified of this um I give like run away from my car me driving no I know I know I want this if you could do a really great little video to pretend like your cars Christine like it's gonna run you down but it only did going four miles an hour so it wouldn't be that terrifying okay we're gonna take a quick break but before we go you have to see how many iPhones it takes to stop an AK 74 not a typo not forty-seven seventy-four and AK 74 bullet so check this out we'll be right back welcome back to the show I promise you kale is not drinking a 40 otherwise it'd be in a paper bag you gotta hide it it's Monday uh which it is Monday I'm sorry which means that we have to talk about crowdfunding so this is back at Hackett kale I found the best crowdfund ever for you ok you're really into VR yeah you want to make VR content Oh so I'm going to let me yep you can now do that so you can let yourself do it because of spheric am too so this is farrah cam 2 this is their Kickstarter video oh my god what's wrong with this guy there it is it is a little tiny tennis ball sized 4k 360 degree VR camera this is crazy so here's what's on board 6 image sensors 6 lenses a Wi-Fi button and on and off button a micro USB port a tripod mounts for microphones 6 micro SD card slots all on board this thing that's the size of a tennis ball hate that dog is a jerk um so he's just soulless take this guy's just sleeping he yeah he says be there so now he's gonna be able to go back anyway resolution on these cameras 4k okay 4k 4k 360 degrees yeah it says that it's they shoot in raw you have the ability to shoot raw which is crazy good um and it has Wi-Fi and streaming baked right in viewing and sharing content on your smart phone and desktop super easy there's a mobile app you start and stop recording with it monitor the view while you're recording you can do that you can transfer view edit and send and otherwise work with your video really really easily they're saying it said that they have the software will sit together your videos seamlessly you won't have to worry about it you don't have to sit there and like focus on everything um looks pretty awesome how much is it it's a little bit expensive this is no this is unbelievable but yeah you did it well guess there's no what people wanted we don't want to put like 50 GoPros together now we don't want to have to create some tennis ball size oh yeah and then we worked you know when you have to like put GoPros but no this is perfect one device and people gonna make great videos yet but of course they're gonna have to pay a how much how much would you pay for this let's do it let's do infomercial kale anonymous how much would you pay for this product would you pay a thousand dollars would you pay five hundred dollars did you pay two thousand dollars I pay 400 max 400 max uh you're gonna be waiting a while my friend because this camera as of right now they are in their second round of early bird and if you want just the camera is 1399 1400 bucks yeah but there's a lot of technology in there I know it's really really impressive so it's not ready for consumers but people are gonna be picking this time I disagree I disagree that's not true because people pay a thousand dollars for a phantom for the for the DJI phantom that's it that's not even a 4k camera it's a 1080p camera on a drum yeah but you're talking about prosumers so you're talking about yeah people that make these videos and make money off of it this isn't like what happened my mom's not gonna pick one up and like bring it to go to the lake it's gonna be like it's gonna be my friend who has a drone has professional cameras and adds this to his list of things that he owns no I think like my dad for example would probably buy this and take it hunting with him like he does hunting trips and I feel like this is something he might buy like people who have a little bit extra spending cash who like have hobbies like that so like maybe somebody who goes out fishing or you know sail boating or whatever kayaking you can do all that stuff like I would imagine it would be stuff like that but if you like the 4k DJI phantom is like I think about the same price it's like 12 99 or 1399 so to me this seems like just early adopter as opposed to prosumer like I don't think it's necessarily people who are gonna make money off their content there will be a lot of that I think you're absolutely right there but I do think there's going to be early adopters who are like I just really want to get in on this VR game and I'm willing to pay a premium for it producer Logan was showing just showing the Kickstarter on on their website they asked for a hundred and fifty thousand dollars already past that there are nicer than 50 likes I think 3,000 or 4,000 yeah 154,000 with 23 days left so they are they are just cruising right along so this will absolutely get made and and it I mean it looks awesome this is great I think we needed this giant step already so they're people like GoPro will step up and all the other camera companies will step up this will be our great access point to start making the air content now just easy as easiest stuff on our sauce or 3d content I mean was that part of it I'm not 3d but they did like they have a whole bunch of the cool thing is is they actually have a whole bunch of different arms and mounts it's a standard tripod mount but they have a whole bunch of them and they also have these okay if we go back to the site scroll down a little bit there they actually these arms that right there yeah they have these little arms that are specifically for like putting it down and they're not they don't obscure the view of the camera that's really crazy which is awesome so protected your camera aprea protects your camera without getting in the way of your view which is so cool I think that is brilliant like I I love it I if I had the money i would a hundred percent back it what about you yeah oh absolutely yeah I can't wait to see the first like filmmaker that gets his hands on this whether he uses it whether he uses it for actual 360 stuff or he uses it so that he can have a shot without fail that he can move the angle right to anywhere because of its 4k and he has like an explosion but he wants the camera to move this way he can just basically pan or the images that he has so yeah no absolutely how I don't you know I you're right what is it 12 used to 12 or 14 it's 1399 yeah i just heard of yeah i yeah i totally think that that's not that's not bad at all All Things Considered I mean the other the alternate buying all those GoPros would be four times as much yeah exactly I I again don't think I'm gonna see any of my like lower end friends that don't already have camera equipment buying one of these but yeah but yeah definitely anybody that's like into this stuff notice that a no brainer I can't wait to see what kind of content like if somebody brings us to comic-con awesome yeah super cool and just FYI spear cam if you want to just like send us one to try we can like show people stuff I actually would like to see stuff like this I Lexie content made as like extras and special features for movies so like behind the scenes stuff r you walk around the set like all that's that's the stuff I want to see a VR and I look I would I like I would be willing to pay that you know twenty dollars to buy as opposed to just renting or waiting for netflix or whatever I would pay that money to have those types of extra features as opposed to just like a two minute you know gag reel it's like okay well fine give me the two minute gap girl but also give me a couple of gag you know couple of gags like where I'm on the set watching them film and they mess up and then I can like see that that would be awesome ya know I really like the idea of getting a cool set visit also if you went to Disneyland they do the fireworks and that's all around you if you could do that for the seven so I'm sure we got millions of ideas to send it over just just let us borrow it will give it back I promise we won't give it back no we will give it back kale might not but I would promise what I will get it back to you okay so now that we've talked about that delightful Kickstarter we have to talk about your user feedback I have an update on the US vs japan robot challenge oh yeah i heard about this uh challenge accepted japan has given in they said okay we're gonna pick kurama's vs mega bot it is happening it is gonna go down but more importantly they've decided the terms of which the fights gonna Harry there is a catch there is a catch hand-to-hand combat only robot hand to hand combat only no guns obviously no explosive devices they want to keep everybody safe but it will be you don't listen in any universe that I can get a giant robot fight I will take it and so this is totally cool yeah the video is short and sweet it's a mad long and and he's like she's like he in he says he goes we can't let America win and then he goes would this gotta be way cooler oh yeah he says it's super American like have guns on it yeah so yeah he's got a good point to robots standing there just shooting guns at each other's pretty stupid so he wants them to go toe-to-toe and bash yeah crap out of each and he says giant robots are Japanese culture I mean this is he they are in it to win it so it's melee combat that's going to happen hand-to-hand robot fight they want he said they're gonna knock out this robot and turn it into scraps and whichever there we go and whichever robot wins that's where I'm going to move to live forever because I'll feel the safest so that's a good point hand moves move with my robot overlords over to Japan yeah and hopefully I think they'll probably also get free denny's for life the winner the robot winner will get free denny's for life free breakfast okay so we asked you guys who you think will win and help that this is happening this is even better Dustin wrote in and said that since there is not a Canadian entry I will cheer for team USA go team USA you were feeling very baby factory mm-hmm a Canadian it just right into Canadian loser robot do you think they would make one he'll be really polite that's what I'm thinking super polite robot it would polite you to death play it apologize you to death they were just like I'm sorry Rick wrote in and said I really doubt that there will be an actual fight risking lives of pilots even with paintballs will guess what Rick it's happening it's not going to risk the lives of the pilots but it's gonna happen it's happening now it is happening Brad rights and it says America for the win the robot needs a squadron of mini-drones that it lunches and they attack from all angles like that that's sort of similar to yours you're like just yeah bunch of other robots come fight it I've been watching a lot of battle bots so I'm really I'm really into this as long as there's a lot of destruction I just hope it lasts longer than the matches and battle bots which is like a minute or two I think about 20 minutes 15 to 20 minute match I don't get anything longer than that I get a little bored cuz it then it means they're probably really slow but I think like 15 minutes is about what I would enjoy yeah and then also innovation required rodents at EMP guns anti-gravity thrusters for air combat and transforming into mini individual robots on disintegration do to impact just like it was like an Iron Man yeah I like that I liked all of that happening is pretty good um so yeah you guys obviously crushed it really good feedback and then and then we have our very last pieces your feedback which is our phone tog refer the day for those of you not here in the United States of America was America's birthday this weekend was the fourth of July we like to celebrate here in America by blowing stuff up mostly fireworks sometimes other stuff but mostly fireworks which is why John wrote in and he said hello Ashley and kale you might remember me i'm the guy who sent in the grasshopper photo a few months back these are some pictures I took with my Moto X 2013 from the fourth of July fireworks show in chamblee Georgia I went there with my friend to watch some explosions in the sky I know that a lot of pictures have a fence in them but that is the closest I could get to them since it was a packed place I hope you like them all but I understand there can only be one featured for photography of the day great show watch every episode every episode enjoy John wait what do you mean a lot of photos have offensive oh that's of the ones he sent an album of different fireworks pictures and I had producer Logan pick his favorite so he picked this one but um great pictures and on a moto x 2013's couple years old which is pretty rad looks good looking good john h yeah very cool nicely done super great and i actually like the fence I think I preferred it makes the shot more interesting yeah it makes it unlike every of everyone else's yeah it's a foreground it's like there's a nice looks like we're like in jail while you took this picture Shawshank Redemption July like it yeah man must be tough being we got freedom on the outside you got sent down the river John terrible all right that is it if you want to email us your phone tog raphy
