Speaker 1 (00:00):
And a happy Wednesday friend. Welcome to thought shower. I
am fresh off of a twenty four hour day. Jingle
Ball was last night and it was awesome. Man, so
much went down, I don't even know where to begin. Dude,
got to the venue Capital One around two ish, got
to the hotel around two ish, and so we're a
(00:22):
little bit tired today, but overall, great show.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
And if you Alex Warren, he's fantastic. Miles Smith.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
But the highlight of the show, and you'll see the
video eventually, would be Nelly. So Nelly, who I've met
a couple times. A man's a legend, you know, three Grammys,
platinum albums, movies, everything could think of. And so one
of the earlier stops on the tour, he had brought
the entire airstaff on stage for Just a Dream. And
I saw that and I thought to myself, Man, if
(00:52):
I could maybe put together the greatest interview of my life,
maybe he'd invite us out on stage with them, because
there was he did for one show, and he didn't
do for the rest of the shows. And so I
spent the last week and a half just like try
to put together the best interview I could and I
thought I killed it, Like I really thought, like this
of you is great, this would be our chance. And
(01:15):
some interview happens, and then we introduced Nelly on stage.
His manager pulls me aside before and he goes, hey, man,
can hit your number and I was like, yeah, absolutely
gave number. He's like, thank you for being so good
to us, and I was like, oh my god, Like
Nelly's a he's a legend, dude, like, no worries about it,
get on stage, introduce him. Yeah, stage is man and goes, hey,
he's gonna bring you out on stage at the end,
(01:37):
and man, the emotions hit me.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
I was like, oh cool, we did it like we
did it like.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
We It's like back in day comedians and perform on
like David Letterman, Johnny Carson and you would do your
set and if you were worthy, they would call you
to the couch to sit down for a proper interview.
And that was one of the coolest things ever. Was
then be like, hey, Nelly wants to bring you out
for Just a Dream, which is one of my favorite
songs of all time, like one of the greatest pop songs.
The last I don't know twenty years so I'm tired
(02:02):
tons of photos, sends the videop ymsradio dot com and
on the Instagram at internshn Radio. I'm about to take
my mom to Hawaii, which is very exciting. So this
will be the last podcast probably till after Christmas.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
I hope you enjoy.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
Let me get into this for your Wednesday. The futuristic inventions,
we gotta be ready for some of these.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
I'm gonna be honest, I.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
Don't know if we need some of them, like you're
how that kind of makes sense? First one is standing
only flights. So there's a pro type seat. It's like
a saddle perch designed by the Italian company allows passengers
to aleen a forty five degree angle rather than stand upright
they're saying it, say space.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
I have seen the CEO.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Of Ryan Air, which is like a budget airline they
say in Europe talk about standing only flights for Europe.
It kind of makes sense because it's short distance, right,
so I guess to be equivalent of like if you
were flying from like DC to Philly. You know what
I mean, Like a forty five minute thing? Is that
that bad? Probably not right? Like I would I do it? Now?
Speaker 2 (03:07):
I need to sit down.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
But the idea of doing that and saving money and
having to be like, you know, forty five dollars or
twenty dollars, I don't think that necessarily is a bad
thing as long as it's safe. When they first announced this,
I know people are like, oh my god, I have
up and arms. But it's like, yeah, but we're not
talking across the country or you know, international flight. This
(03:30):
is like for a short forty five minute to an
hour trip. I know a lot of people who would
do that, who would instantly, But yeah, that makes sense.
Now I have seen every now and then they'll put
like the graphs of like, uh, double decker seats where
basically it's like your seats stacked on top of each other.
My mind goes, so, what's somebody first in your face? Dude, Like,
(03:50):
that's not the vibe you want on a flight, you
know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (03:53):
Like that to me? No, No.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
The needle free injections, now this is interesting. So there's
this come this Dutch company. They've unveiled a solution called
the Bold Jet and in Jackson says, and replaces the
needle with a laser propelled liquid microjet delivered through the skin.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
It's kind of crazy.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
So they say this way, if you are afraid of needles,
you can do things that way.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
I feel like I have seen this before.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Maybe I've seen any videos on it where like it does.
It's like a little okay, you know I'm talking about right,
So I think that'd be kind of cool. I'm not
a fan of needles. Although I have tattoos, needles have
never been a thing for me. I don't only know why.
(04:41):
I always have to watch too, like that's the other
problems I have to wash the needle go in.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
I don't know why I do that, But here we are.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
Self healing concrete will be big in the future. So
the cracking of concrete infrastructure costs billions of dollars. Self
healing concrete has these microcapsules fill with door I'm into
spore forming bacteria, and so basically if there's a crack
in like pavement or in a building, this stuff will
fix itself. That's pretty cool. I would imagine a costmar right,
(05:13):
but to me, like that sounds pretty cool and it
should be good to go. Personalized bioprinted organs will be
a big thing in the future.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
They see organ.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Transplants are currently limited by don't availability and the risk
of immune system rejection. Personalized bioprinted organs using patients' own
cells as bioinc to create complex tissues or eventually entire organs.
So they're saying, this three D printer will basically take
your cells and make if you need a kidney, it
(05:47):
will make you a kidney with your cells. So it
takes down the risk of like if you got kidney donation,
your body being like, nah, we do an't want this.
That's pretty crazy. I mean, whoever can make that thing work?
That's gonna be a trillion dollar invention. Could you imagine
that could save millions of lives a year instead of waiting
(06:07):
for a lung transplant, you grow your own lung. That
would be I don't even know how much you pay
for that. They say, hyper personalized wellness tech would be huge.
It's the next phase of wellness technology is beyond simple
step counting to a digital twin of your body. So
this hyper personalized model and just data and wearables, metal
records and all that good stuff and run simulations that
(06:29):
predict how your body will respond diet changes, medication or stress.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
I like this.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Right, So it's basically a digital you, almost like a
video game version of you. That then doctors or health
experts like, okay, if we give this digital version you know,
this medication, how it changed, if they change or diet
this way, how it changed.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
I do think that this would be good for athletics.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
I'm sure, I guess may rephrase that that you'll see
sports teams use this for sure, and they'll probably the
first ones to do it, because that's cash.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Is king baby.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
But if it was, like you have an alignment for
the commanders who maybe he should lose weight if we
put them on this program and staid this program, I
can see it's being big for Olympic athletes as well,
or even like UFC fighters trying to cut weight. That
to me could be probably of all these the biggest one.
To me, I certainly wouldn't mind it, right because I've
always felt like, especially when you're sick, like am I
(07:28):
taking too much farah flu? Am I taking too much
cold medicine? I always worry about that for some reason,
like am I taking too much? I would like to
have that like if I'm about to like have too
much cold ease or night quill, is that gonna be
a problem.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
I would like that.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
I think if all the ones on this list, that's
why I like even because I think it'd be cool
too to see, if it's a diet change, how much
they could affect your body down the line. I think
they'd be fantastic. Look, I hope you have a great week.
I'm taking and bit of a break. I'll be back
after the holidays. I appreciate you listening. It's thought shower
