Tomorrow Daily - Thanks for crushing our hoverboard dreams, Lexus, Ep. 198

2015-06-24
on today's show a piece of furniture that's gonna grow you a gross sludgy dinner and I'm already skeptical because we're gonna talk about hoverbikes and hoverboards it's tomorrow daily greetings citizens of the Internet I'm Ashley together this is killin onimous and you're watching tomorrow daily good st talked earlier on universe um you seemed so down I've spent way too much time on the internet to have things like just slide by as just like a reality so true right everything I Deanna is true yeah everything I put up on the Internet is true that's accurate well I mean I feel like we got a really kind of nip we got it we got to figure out this these hover hover items so let's hit the headlines many of you sent us this one this is so many of you because uh there's hoverboards now because because of this video that was announced by Lexus in which they've created a hoverboard for their series amazing in motion they claim that they have a hoverboard they're going to be showing off soon here's here's the ad yeah we're gonna watch the sad all the way through yet they claim it uses liquid nitrogen cooled superconductors and permanent magnets to support the weight of a person that watch this here's here's the twist miss right so there's the hoverboard they slowly panned out nitrogen right so liquid that's that's cool i like that is pretty cool it looks awesome but here we go here's here's why we get skeptical and use that other cuts to black that's where the actual ad stops yeah now we've failed to see this get used yet that's i mean that's all we have apparently lexus is saying you can follow them but they want they're also saying that it's a the board actually needs a surface lexus has admitted it's similar to Hendo hoverboard remember that hoverboard that like tony hawk used and support especially second like it was yeah i was just on like a metallic sheet or whatever so it only works on special surfaces so great we didn't already see this so and we're I mean what's eating as you should I'm upset well what do you want to see what what are we seeing we want to see somebody use this we want to see somebody actually use the hoverboard but this is what Lexus has for us and it's called again it's amazing it in motion it's been in development for over a year and a half so it's like they've been working on it since they knew that this year's 2015 and teams in Germany and London worked on it so so there you go we'll see so what do you think Ashley I mean I said yeah I feel cheated I feel cheetah this is I got really excited today I cheated yet you haven't seen it what so I saw the video and I was really excited because it was hovering on a service that appeared to be concrete and I was like oh my god somebody cracked it you guys we have a hoverboard even if the guy could just stand on it doesn't even move I'd be excited no it's a special surface just like just like we saw so it's like we've been there we've seen this I mean how many hoverboards are we gonna have to suffer through in 2015 because it's the 30 year anniversary of back to the future like how many i don't i don't think my mole science heart can take it look it's honestly your fault for like being so interested in this without actually just look because any time somebody says hoverboard you're gonna be drawn to whatever they're saying actually I was just wait and like not check out this Lexus until you hear from us that it's actually cool yeah from somebody else or if he is either it after the thing is that lexus is creating this because they know it's gonna get eyeballs on lexus of course well an ow many people like you said are gonna you said they want people oh if you want to see somebody write it you have to follow us you keep tabs us of course now millions of people are gonna call Alexis who haven't before so it's just like I feel like this is such a cheap marketing ploy to get people to follow their YouTube channel and that makes me kind of mad like I'm kind of mad about it I'm a little bit Hulk I did it's shark week and I wore a shark shirt and I feel very shark like right now and I feel like I'm gonna chomp something I not happy hashtag of the day all right what is it TD hover what kind of futuristic transportation would you rather have instead of hoverboards because apparently you're not gonna have public yeah because we're not gonna get any teleportation that's not even a question really I mean no time travel I mean time travel so teleportation because honestly that way I can I can be late I can be more time official you'll never be late you'll never be late now yeah well yeah Websense but yeah so there how would you feel about being killed and then rebuilt cuz that's really kind of what teleporting is I'm you know you'd be dissolved and then rebuilt straight up won't matter to me you won't care y'all here be dead all right fair enough uh I would say you know honestly I really Hyperloop to be a real thing like I have so much hope about Hyperloop that I'm like I just like I know that it's probably a little unrealistic but I'm so slightly like really excited about Hyperloop and it could if it even if it happens like edit at a fraction of what they think it could be like that would still be really exciting so for me it's Hyperloop I want to travel basically in a vacuum tube like shoot me up to San Francisco I could go visit you Charlie I could go visit all of our Cena San Francisco friends like we could go up there and actually like party with them all the time and hang out and stuff and then we just come back and it would be less than the commute I have now from here to home cnet guys really got to step it up we partied with the gamespot guys this last weekend repair I don't know we'll see I spent pretty amazing though if that's true but I'd to leave to go to a concert I didn't get to hang out with all of it was a great i know i do i do remember they were pretty they were pretty good yeah we're actually it was comparable for sure it was comparable you guys would be surprised I didn't get to spend my whole time with the sea yet actually don't get to spend the whole time with either I am look for a commenter concert promotion jerk concerts are more important ok next time ok ok next up so that's our party news I'm episode wrapping it back to hashtag late TD hover hat what mode of transportation would you rather futuristic motor transportation would you rather have aside from hoverboards because we're not getting one to get to your favorite people to party and teeny party who do you think parties harder gamespot or seen it I like that let's answer that question too ok let's talk about hoverbikes because that's also a thing in the news apparently the US Army Research Lab made a deal with a couple of different companies to work on hoverbikes this is a real thing this is not a joke this is moved past the concept phase these are these are things that are happening right now the two companies are malloway aeronautics and service engineering they want to develop these hoverbikes with the Department of Defense a for the Department of Defense i should say obviously they'd be a lot better for range because you're not having to ride over rocky terrain these would be things that would be a little bit more fuel-efficient obviously better in in terrain where it's you know really tough to get any vehicle through and malloway this is a this is malinois hoverbikes channel this is their hybrid Hoverbike pretty awesome lifts like a chopper and then right it looks some rides kind of like a motorcycle so this is a small way this little tiny version of it or they have like almost a little they have a little almost like an action figure on there and he's like riding around there so that was one of their tests like prototypes and then they did made a bigger one that's actually like full-size for people with I love it yeah super awesome and actually Malloy had a successful Kickstarter last year so this has been in testing this is the full sized one this is a human-sized test version of a Hoverbike but nothing human ridden that is untethered so everything's kind of tethered right now yeah and they're able to test with a person on it but only when it's actually tethered and this is this is not that so um it remains to be seen whether or not they will end up taking other taking over other forms of transport like motorcycles and things like that it was the military it does look a little bit delicate but I would imagine if there is Department of Defense money behind it it it would probably be you know kind of strengthen this is so cool pretty I really liked that didn't be a bunch of can I tell you we have it we have secret footage of actual military speeder bike mrs. at first we're going to show here on tomorrow it's an exclusive Logan he rolled out this is gonna look like like that all right no I really I really hope you get sued for that right that joke was not worth getting sued for fair use and collar top or you can think of hoverbikes like this Logan Oh perfect great the simpson the simpsons they have hoverbikes are hovering mics I like that so so much know what those look really cool you look at exactly the Green Goblin would you like floating around you look very bad um okay speaking of the color green we have to talk about this because it's very upsetting to me this is a table that grows you food gross food for you which sounds great in theory but then when I tell you what it is and what it kind of looks like like so here it is this is an actual it's not a concept you know a lot of this stuff is concept this is a prototype design that they're actually showing at an art museum in Philadelphia so this is from architectural designer Jacob duenas and industrial designer Ethan freer they put together this conceptual design your furniture grows food fries you can see this big green tank inside the furniture okay photosynthetic it uses waste heat light and carbon dioxide inside the home to feed little tiny edible bacteria inside okay so and then gross yeah it looks really disgusting and at a certain point you'd be able to sort of tap one of these glass containers and eat the Green sludge inside as food that's how you would do it you eat it as food watch look this is so upsetting to me like oh let's eat this gross Green sludge but apparently it's blue-green algae which I guess you can buy it supplement stores you can actually buy blue-green algae it's very healthy it has a lot of proteins and people already eat it as a supplement just not in this form and and and so it is not a completely unrealistic thing but yeah what I would not eat that that is Soylent Green I am a hundred percent convinced that's people that's what it was yeah there you go that's blue-green algae right there the powder form nope no cool nope won't eat it I think that's cool I mean it shows up for likes the astronauts and astronauts in their leadership and they're all alone just eating Green Green sludge well so I don't know that they would have the right environment to feed that bacteria because it eats stuff like carbon dioxide in the air so I'm not sure how much food that little bacteria would have but in a home they were saying like it would it the idea is that so their goal because they're artists and architects and designers is to help people remember that we're all at all times completely surrounded by microorganisms and by showing us visually and giving us something that we can actually consume it's a really good reminder of like the fact that you know it's okay to eat stuff like this like this is this is life like life is happening everywhere what's nutrition value of this slime apparently it is I think it has like double the amount of protein then it I mean it's like up there like if you look up blue-green algae it's that's what it is it's blue-green algae so it has like really high calcium levels really hot like there's some there is some real nutritional value to this stuff well I want that so and I know I could totally see Kelly yeah cuz kale literally eats like salads this is like kills life I don't eat I don't even care about the flavor of food real now as long as it doesn't taste bad i'll eat it you'll eat it so okay all right well that was it listen I if you just put me up to it like bein just like you put it yo my god they've amazing hit a little button on your chest well gee blue-green algae that be glorious I'm actually curious to see how many people that are watching this would would be down yeah let us know if you'll eat any of that stuff because we're just curious another one that imagine is also affordable to imagine you know like yeah let's say it's a cheap way maybe good buy it at IKEA like you go get it go get the table and the little thing and it starts like a starter kit and you build your little table and you put your crazy photosynthesis growing plant food algae bubble in the table be kind of weird anyway that's it for headlines will come right back with a mod squad that I'm pretty sure is going to be kills greatest mod squad of all time and then we'll have your LG no but it's maybe even better for you and then we're going to talk about your user feedback and of course our phone target for the day so click Wade smart daily welcome back to the show it's Wednesday which means we like talk about stuff people other people did and put together because they're better than us this is Mod Squad I found this on reddit and I don't think kales seen this yet i really i thought he had but maybe he has not this is from a reddit user the MCV and i'm pretty sure he gets the title of best friend ever because he made a pip-boy 3000 a and i like this already yeah i figured you would um this thing is amazing so check check this out he's got a video of it um I'm gonna tell you a little bit about it while he while this video plays he got a 3d body of the pip-boy printed from Nakamura's shop online so he sent in a file so that's there it is like pretty detailed looks pretty great found a piece of curved glass like actual curved glass not plastic from a slide viewer that he bought on ebay for 10 bucks that just happen to fit perfectly into this pit boy and it is a Raspberry Pi base user interface from a developer called select none and the the user interface for raspberry PI's called Raz pitboy and it actually shows your location in google maps you can you can plug in an API key for Google Maps and it'll tell you exactly where you are here it is booting up if you're wondering where the computing and battery power comes from you saw there were some cables attached to it well that's because he also made his friend an armored vault 101 suit to hold the raspberry pi computer and the batteries I mean this is incredible look at this this is amazing it looks so so good it looks real I mean the curved screen really sells it for me that's the thing that really blows my mind is the curved screen it looks gorgeous he's working on he's almost finished he's saying he's like got to put the buttons on and everything in the dials but he's definitely like he's almost done with it his friend I think but you know it if I was his friend I'd pretty much make this my halloween costume for the rest of my life or until he made me something else equally awesome but yeah pip-boy 3000 a just like just crushed it just crush that's incredible yeah I want these to be the collector's edition ones we're gonna get little plastic things that fit on our arms can't see him turning the dials I think he's actually using a controller right now just because he hasn't installed dial ok how much but actually there's the GPS Washington that's that's good about that was google maps is it amazing um yeah he was saying I think he I he mentions a whole bunch of stuff about like cuz the Raspberry Pi is only like twenty-five thirty bucks and then he talks Italy if you go to the reddit thread it's really we have a link to the to the reddit thread in the show notes if you go to the article version of the show it's so detailed and it's so impressive I mean really impressive that's unreal here's some come on the bathroom really take pictures with the bathroom that's look at that curved screen I'm telling you is the thing that really sells it for me it's in it's incredible it's amazing it doesn't look as bulky as the vault of the collective pitch away from the collectors edition football out for but I mean it's really nice really nice so now the MCV will take two first of all and secondly can you be kales best friend and make him one you didn't even like it's also a big deal that he made the vault 101 suit because you can't just buy those I mean you can buy one but he actually like hooked it up with yeah he's got like the wires all hooked in there I mean so good so good it's impressive yeah super good um okay so now that we've talked about Mod Squad and given much praise to read a user the MCV we got to talk about you it's time for a user feedback okay so TD Spidey we asked you guys use TD spider tell us what you thought about Tom Holland being cast as spider-man we got an email from jolly rodent said just saw the episode on Tom Holland I just hope he takes a more Andrew Garfield spin on the character i think andruw's take has been the best so far it's sad to see him go but hopefully it will be kind of like the Hulk hand off before I can see why Marvel will go with a younger Peter Parker and I think it gives them a lot more freedom with ways to take the story I was really hoping for an end credits scene in Avengers with Spidey showing up somewhere and I can't wait to see what happens now that he's going to be in the MCU um so he and he also talks about how he's picked up Ultimate Universe and he's been into Miles Morales a spider-man all the stuff so he's like really into comic books and the movies which is pretty awesome here from that point of view and then Dustin wrote in on Twitter and said meh not really sure how i feel in tom holland however he does have a job so i guess it's not up to us anyway huh LOL true dustin trade show you have no power now we have no power powerless Matt wrote in and said to be honest I didn't kill me the best spread around and then made that haha did you use the Tobey Maguire body your head looks huge on Tobey Maguire's body it's okay look freshly 10 we got like a Mexican spider behalf Mexican spider-man I love Hispanic gusta an amazing thank you for that whatever amen the last one which you'll also really like is from Hakimi says just one thing just got one thing to say I can't believe it's not butter filled hahaha asa butterfield I love that love that I was really funny it made me laugh quite a bit so I thank you very much for your user feedback we got a couple other ones saying they couldn't believe that kale was not cast and I i agree huge it's a huge letdown it's Marvel Cinematic Universe will never reach its true peaks unless I'm either spider-man or Kraven the hunter Kraven the hunter will know in your offspring is gonna be spider-man yeah I'm sorry baby son's gonna be spies son or daughter ya havin girl spies my girl as long as apparently spider mite not
