Speaker 1 (00:01):
Somebody was looking forward, and so they were looking at
it from a technology standpoint, and they were like, what
what has happened with technology over the last two hundred
and fifty years is really amazing? It really is if
you stop and think about it. But that's too that's
that's almost too easy to do. But over the next
and it's too hard to figure out where would where

(00:23):
will we be two hundred and fifty years from now?

Speaker 2 (00:25):
Like you couldn't even guess right.

Speaker 3 (00:27):
Now, It's like two hundred and fifty years ago, you
couldn't have thought of, like, you know, an airplane or well,
cell phones.

Speaker 1 (00:35):
I'm even you know, I mean, it'd be ridiculous. Which
what are you looking up? Airplane when we're airplanes?

Speaker 4 (00:43):
Well, the right three, But I'm trying to see when
people started thinking of that air trap.

Speaker 1 (00:50):
Okay, well but the right brothers, Like, we weren't flying
two hundred and fifty years ago. So to try to
imagine where we're going to be two hundred and fifty
years from now is impossible.

Speaker 2 (01:01):
Honestly, it's impossible. So let me just say you don't
even know what you don't know? Go ahead.

Speaker 4 (01:07):
It says humans have gazed at birds and dreamed of
flying since the dawn of civilization.

Speaker 5 (01:12):
Okay, yes, but the idea of human.

Speaker 4 (01:14):
Air travel has been thought of for thousands of years,
evolving from mythological dreams into scientific concepts by the fifteenth century.

Speaker 2 (01:26):
Okay, so they were putting it right. Okay, but you
understand my point.

Speaker 1 (01:35):
Yes, you can't try to figure out two hundred and
fifty years from now what's even reasonable to imagine.

Speaker 6 (01:43):
So give us a better time, Fraim.

Speaker 2 (01:45):
Twenty years.

Speaker 6 (01:46):
Oh sooner than I thought you'd sir.

Speaker 2 (01:49):
In the next twenty years. What do you want to see?

Speaker 6 (01:55):
Oh, this is want to see or think you'll see?

Speaker 2 (01:58):
What?

Speaker 1 (01:59):
But when when I say want, like well, I want
us to be on Mars, well you know that that's
not happening in the next twenty years. So it has
to be a little bit of column ay and a
little bit of column B, like, what is something you
would like to see that you also believe is feasible
in the next twenty years.

Speaker 3 (02:17):
Now it's really hard, I'm thinking the one really hard.
The one thing I always wish for when I'm running
late to be somewhere is teleportation.

Speaker 2 (02:26):
By the way, that's a common one, like even if.

Speaker 3 (02:30):
You could only even if you could only use like
five teleportations a year, and then you have to start
paying on a subscription, right like, like so.

Speaker 2 (02:38):
When you're late, like yesterday, did you think.

Speaker 5 (02:40):
That I was?

Speaker 4 (02:42):
I was?

Speaker 5 (02:43):
I was like five minutes late?

Speaker 7 (02:46):
Was it?

Speaker 2 (02:46):
I wasn't I was just yesterday. No, that would have
been a waste.

Speaker 3 (02:51):
No, I would I would waste one when I and
it's knock wood, it hasn't happen in a long time.

Speaker 5 (02:58):
But when you actually wake me up out of a
dead sleep.

Speaker 2 (03:02):
Right yeah, and now I usually get in the car.

Speaker 5 (03:06):
No, I's it's pointless to lie like that.

Speaker 3 (03:09):
I'll be like I'm getting going. No, No, I'm still
in bed. I have crease marks on my cheek. So
in a pace like that, but.

Speaker 1 (03:17):
You know what, like that's one that that one did
come up a lot when so they surveyed a bunch
of people, right yeah, and they were like, in the
next twenty years, what what what technological breakthrough would you
like to see happen? But it also has to be
kind of fielded in a world of realization. So that's
where I saw that one. I was like, you know,

(03:39):
that's never gonna happen. There's never gonna be such a thing.

Speaker 6 (03:43):
You are a glass half empty tool.

Speaker 5 (03:45):
You really think, not not in twenty years, but someday.

Speaker 2 (03:48):
Maybe you think at some point in our kids' lifetimes.

Speaker 3 (03:52):
Maybe not in their lifetimes. Maybe that is something that's
hundreds of years away.

Speaker 2 (03:56):
Okay, but still I.

Speaker 1 (03:58):
Don't even think where you're gonna be able to go
oh boom boom and.

Speaker 2 (04:03):
Then you're there. No way.

Speaker 5 (04:05):
I don't know, Dian, come on, I don't know.

Speaker 3 (04:07):
I tell you, it's something I always think of when
I'm running super late, Like God, I can't I can't
wait till we can teleport places.

Speaker 2 (04:14):
But you know that's never going to happen.

Speaker 4 (04:17):
Does your article speak to the feasibility of this request?

Speaker 1 (04:21):
It said they believe human teleportation should work a lot
like email, okay, email, in which data is composed into
bits and bites exists on a hole in one place,
and that you would actually be able to do that
with yourself.

Speaker 2 (04:41):
It ain't gonna happen, there's no way.

Speaker 4 (04:43):
But you also just said that you don't think will
be on Mars in the next twenty years, and plenty
of astronauts think we will.

Speaker 2 (04:51):
No no, no living on Mars living on Marsh.

Speaker 4 (04:53):
So I think somebody will rud missions You do think
will happen in the next Yes, I.

Speaker 1 (04:58):
Do believe we will land on Mars in the next
twenty years. Do I believe that we're going to Well, Hell,
we're not gonna have an apartment building on the Moon
in twenty years, No chance.

Speaker 6 (05:09):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (05:11):
Do I think we'll land on the Moon? Yes?

Speaker 1 (05:14):
Do I mean we're gonna land on the Moon next year?
Do I think that? Do I think that we'll have
some kind of depots set up in twenty years?

Speaker 2 (05:21):
Yes? Do I think we'll reach Mars in twenty years? Yes,
But we ain't living on Mars in twenty years.

Speaker 6 (05:31):
Okay, that's now that you've clarified. I better understand.

Speaker 1 (05:36):
I won't see I won't see a professional sports team
on Mars.

Speaker 5 (05:41):
Oh you want them to play a game up there?

Speaker 8 (05:43):
Now?

Speaker 1 (05:43):
If we're gonna if we're gonna colonize and live, there
is space to no.

Speaker 2 (05:47):
But I mean like, I'm not gonna see a community
built on Mars. I'm not gonna see a community built
on the Moon.

Speaker 6 (05:54):
How about if we're talking about.

Speaker 2 (05:57):
So teleportation, I don't I'm not.

Speaker 4 (05:59):
On Then how about this. If it's just twenty years,
how about wide spread adoption of autonomous vehicles two decades.
I think that's very very possible.

Speaker 5 (06:14):
Twenty years.

Speaker 1 (06:15):
Yeah, maybe, yeah, I could see that.

Speaker 2 (06:18):
I can see that. I mean, we're getting there.

Speaker 4 (06:20):
Where it's like people just don't drive themselves anymore in
new vehicles.

Speaker 6 (06:26):
That's what I mean by autonomous.

Speaker 5 (06:32):
What part did I lose you on the auto or
the no?

Speaker 7 (06:34):
No?

Speaker 1 (06:35):
I was thinking like no, I was thinking like way
moo and things like that, like everything, but doesn't that
But hasn't the argument always been that you need and
maybe maybe this is what you meant, but like you
need full buy in.

Speaker 6 (06:50):
I think in two decades there you will have it.

Speaker 1 (06:52):
In twenty years. It's not going to be an option.
I'm not going to for ford in getting. It's not
going to be like like when when things start, do
you want a manual or do you want to stick?

Speaker 9 (07:02):
Ye?

Speaker 1 (07:02):
Like, it's not gonna be that. It's gonna be if
you want a car, it's driving you.

Speaker 4 (07:07):
Obviously you could take it over in emergency situations, right,
But I think so, Yeah, I was trying to pick
something that you've seen a good one and its expanding
it for twenty more years.

Speaker 2 (07:18):
See, but you know what my problem is.

Speaker 1 (07:19):
I'm also I've also turned my head off to that
because I don't want that. I don't want that. I
love the idea of it. But are you talking about
like I'm laying down in the back seat.

Speaker 5 (07:30):
No, not really, but yes, I guess that would be possible.

Speaker 1 (07:33):
Right, No, No, because like you said, like even with
like auto cars.

Speaker 2 (07:36):
Now, well it's that weymo as I say, like.

Speaker 1 (07:39):
You're supposed to be in the front seat and you're
supposed to be alert and sitting up and all that
other stuff.

Speaker 2 (07:43):
Like with that Tesla there.

Speaker 4 (07:44):
Would have to be obviously laws either written or addressing,
right the changes in technology.

Speaker 1 (07:51):
Now, I will say this, a lot of people did
say that they liked the idea maybe and it's probably
the same thing.

Speaker 2 (08:00):
But cars talking to each other.

Speaker 1 (08:03):
Oh so that which which does get into autonomous cars.
But where it is like for example, merging in traffic,
two cars talking to each other, there's no like.

Speaker 2 (08:19):
I'm gonna nudge up, I'm gonna nudge up.

Speaker 1 (08:21):
The two cars just communicate and it goes, which they
also believe eliminates like a lot of traffic flow and
stuff like that. Where the cars can talk to each other,
they give right away and stuff. Absolutely, So there were
there were there were I don't want to say a lot,
but there were people that said communication between cars, which.

Speaker 2 (08:39):
Which which is a kind of another level of that.

Speaker 6 (08:42):
Yeah, I know.

Speaker 4 (08:42):
So am I supposed to think of something that it
doesn't play off in technology?

Speaker 1 (08:49):
I think that's really good somebody else, and I'll just
stick with electric, Like electric vehicles and autonomous cars don't
have to be electric, but electric vehicles.

Speaker 2 (08:59):
Somebody he said. And I don't understand this.

Speaker 4 (09:03):
Oh, Diane should teleport to the wedding. That was Mike Jones.
He said, it's like email.

Speaker 1 (09:15):
It says, in less than twenty years, the technology of
all solid state batteries will reach a point where the
owner of an electric vehicle will be able to drive
into a service station, buy a pack of batteries, each
the size of a small phone book, unplug the old
battery pack in their vehicle, and plug in a fresh bundle.

(09:37):
That way, old batteries will go into a recycled bin,
so that eliminates charging. But I don't know if that,
Like I don't have an electric vehicle, so I don't
know if that's smart. Would it just be like a
battery in you're remote that you use until it's not
working anymore, or on.

Speaker 5 (09:56):
The size of a phone book.

Speaker 1 (09:57):
No, no, but it's rich for running a car, so
instead of having to charge it all the time, it
just comes with a long shelf life, and when it
starts to go, you change the battery.

Speaker 5 (10:07):
I don't know, like a pacemaker. Yes, isn't that a
solid state?

Speaker 2 (10:13):
I believe. So that's a great example.

Speaker 1 (10:17):
The other one I like for cars solar on wheels.

Speaker 5 (10:23):
It's so completely solar powered vehicles.

Speaker 1 (10:25):
Why can't cars be manufactured with solar panels integrated into
the top of the vehicle. It could recharge the car's
battery as you travel and when you park.

Speaker 5 (10:35):
That's smart.

Speaker 2 (10:36):
That's pretty smart.

Speaker 6 (10:37):
How is it not are a thing?

Speaker 2 (10:38):
Yeah that when you hear that, you go, that's pretty smart.
Is it ugly?

Speaker 5 (10:42):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (10:43):
Look at everybody's house?

Speaker 5 (10:45):
Is it domestically? We don't say that. Are there any
countries that have that.

Speaker 2 (10:48):
I've never seen a solar car?

Speaker 6 (10:50):
Well maybe not.

Speaker 4 (10:51):
When you say that, it makes it seem that the
entire exterior is paneling, just something on top of it.
As you see, it doesn't be as big as as
it used to have to do.

Speaker 1 (11:00):
Of having like that area where there's like the sun roof.
It's a brick. No, No, I'm being serious.

Speaker 5 (11:06):
Yeah, but it would work.

Speaker 1 (11:07):
I saw that and I was like, that's pretty smart.
That's pretty smart.

Speaker 4 (11:11):
It says many countries utilize solar power.

Speaker 2 (11:14):
Cars where name one.

Speaker 4 (11:16):
I'm just reading they operate as hybrids roof mounted solar panels.

Speaker 2 (11:23):
Never even heard of it.

Speaker 4 (11:24):
Certainly in the Netherlands, Japan, China, No way, Tunisia, Tunisia.
That says an American company called Aptera. I'm not familiar
with that, solar electric vehicles.

Speaker 2 (11:39):
Didn't they just say China can't sell cars here.

Speaker 1 (11:42):
Didn't that just come out because they had like that
tenthouand e what not?

Speaker 5 (11:48):
Cute.

Speaker 2 (11:49):
That's not even a real car, that's a.

Speaker 4 (11:51):
Spec that's the Aptera. It's publicly traded on Nasdaq.

Speaker 2 (11:58):
They just said a record yesterday.

Speaker 6 (12:01):
Driven by the sun.

Speaker 1 (12:02):
Okay, there's nobody that ain't even for sale.

Speaker 5 (12:06):
I know you have to reserve it for when for
when they're available.

Speaker 2 (12:11):
How does Tunisia got this and we don't.

Speaker 6 (12:13):
Tunisia might be a different company.

Speaker 2 (12:15):
No, but they've already got solar cars.

Speaker 6 (12:18):
They have Baco motors.

Speaker 5 (12:20):
What bacon?

Speaker 1 (12:21):
Oh if you get me a car that runs on
bacon and you get to eat your interior, I.

Speaker 5 (12:28):
Can't give you a ride today.

Speaker 3 (12:30):
I get.

Speaker 5 (12:32):
Ugly, So you're against that one. This goddamn car kind
of looks like a smart car.

Speaker 1 (12:37):
It looks stupid in the front of it looks like
a face.

Speaker 5 (12:41):
Oh, it looks like those little things that Uber eats.

Speaker 2 (12:43):
Three chuse you know what it looks like. It looks
like toy Story had made. Or get another car pregnant.

Speaker 6 (12:51):
So that's the b model.

Speaker 2 (12:53):
Oh get the bee van. How much is it they
should pay you?

Speaker 6 (13:01):
I don't see a price.

Speaker 2 (13:02):
Oh that looks safe.

Speaker 5 (13:05):
And it's one person correct. Yeah, well, because with all.

Speaker 2 (13:10):
That soul dog, that's because they're in the b van.

Speaker 1 (13:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (13:14):
No, in the bee it's just you waiting to die.
That's ugly.

Speaker 1 (13:20):
I'd rather stop every twenty minutes for gas to drive
that pos.

Speaker 4 (13:25):
Diane suggested something. I suggested something, right. I haven't heard you.
I guess Kristen hasn't either, but I haven't heard you
say anything.

Speaker 2 (13:33):
Well, you guys took mine.

Speaker 5 (13:34):
Oh, and you've had time to sit with this.

Speaker 2 (13:38):
I couldn't think of anything.

Speaker 5 (13:41):
Not a one, Diane said, human teleportations.

Speaker 1 (13:45):
Okay, well then yeah, apartments on everest.

Speaker 5 (13:51):
I think Donna has a good idea. Oh okay, lips
Elliott just did it.

Speaker 2 (13:56):
No, wait, Donna, Donna is it? No? Go ahead?

Speaker 3 (13:59):
She's said personally, I would like to see AI and
tech assist more with caregiving. I can't imagine a specific item,
but maybe a robot to help lift a person they have.

Speaker 2 (14:11):
That doesn't her husband have the chair that stands you up?

Speaker 5 (14:17):
I think she may have mentioned it before, but maybe.

Speaker 2 (14:19):
But wait, okay, so we're gonna name things that already exist.
No about just an automobile?

Speaker 3 (14:25):
No, but I was thinking like you.

Speaker 5 (14:29):
You you are stretched thin when you're in that role.

Speaker 2 (14:32):
I understand.

Speaker 3 (14:33):
So maybe a robot caregiver is a good is a
good thing that you something, but something that you can trust.

Speaker 2 (14:41):
What about a robot chef?

Speaker 6 (14:45):
H I don't need it.

Speaker 1 (14:48):
Here's where this wasn't mine, by the way, No robot chef.
I want a robot that can work as an executive
chef in my own kitchen. It would call a grocery store,
order ingredients in what you call it, and it would
just make whatever you wanted it to, but it would
be in charge of everything.

Speaker 2 (15:06):
I mean it's cool, Yeah, that one's kind of cool,
but it's just.

Speaker 6 (15:10):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (15:11):
That sounds like it's going to be a situation where
it's not the standard. The car idea for autonomous fleets
across all makes and models. That that's what I'm thinking
will be a standard.

Speaker 2 (15:23):
Smart glass windshields.

Speaker 3 (15:28):
More than just like seeing your.

Speaker 2 (15:32):
No no, no, you never have to worry about sunglasses.

Speaker 1 (15:35):
Oh that the tint of the windows go with the
with with what's going on outside.

Speaker 5 (15:40):
I hate the stuff on the windshield.

Speaker 2 (15:41):
I always what stuff. Oh where you could see all
that stuff?

Speaker 5 (15:45):
I hate that where you have a tinting thing. No no, no, no, no.

Speaker 3 (15:49):
To be able to see like like your speed instead
of having to look all the way down an inch
at the dashboard to see how fast you're going, it's
it's projected onto your windshield.

Speaker 2 (16:00):
I've seen that before.

Speaker 4 (16:00):
Annoying, yes, yeah, Like distracting, yes, I think so.

Speaker 1 (16:04):
I mean the one time I had it, I saw
it or had a card with it in air, it
was very distracting. I like the idea of the window
tinting to match what's going on outside.

Speaker 3 (16:16):
Yeah, but isn't that I mean, I guess it'll be
personal preference. You could make it darker or lighter to
your to your.

Speaker 1 (16:22):
Now, why you guys are trying to be so grandiose
with your teleportation and autonomous What about a dishwasher? What
about a dishwasher where the racks elevate so that you
can load them and then they go back down.

Speaker 5 (16:38):
Because it's so much effort to bend down.

Speaker 1 (16:41):
I'd like to see a dishwasher with racks that can
be raised, making it easier for tall people to load
and unload them.

Speaker 6 (16:47):
I've already ruined all the cabinet.

Speaker 2 (16:49):
I was ripping all the cabinets off with his belt
belt loop.

Speaker 6 (16:52):
So that there's not some high end brand that does that.

Speaker 2 (16:56):
I've never heard of it.

Speaker 4 (16:57):
Because back to that aptera car only one hundred dollars
due today and the target price is forty thousand dollars.

Speaker 2 (17:05):
You can make it twenty thousand dollars. I'm not driving
that thing.

Speaker 6 (17:08):
That's disgusting, but it's running on sun.

Speaker 1 (17:12):
I would rather take out a mortgage to buy a
car than for that.

Speaker 6 (17:18):
Okay, let me look up your dishwasher.

Speaker 1 (17:20):
Oh, is it gonna be who's that high end refrigerator
MEAE or something like that, Mela. Yeah, if anybody's going
to do it, it's them, line twalk about.

Speaker 3 (17:34):
They have some for like six thousand dollars, like the
most expensive for dishwasher dishwashers. I'm trying to see what
what makes it a meal?

Speaker 2 (17:42):
It does it elevate?

Speaker 5 (17:44):
I see what it means.

Speaker 2 (17:45):
I got toll people that need it. Hi Elliott the morning, Right?

Speaker 3 (17:52):
Hi?

Speaker 2 (17:52):
Who's this?

Speaker 3 (17:54):
Uh Mary?

Speaker 2 (17:55):
Yes, ma'am? What can I do for you?

Speaker 1 (17:57):
This is oh.

Speaker 8 (17:59):
I was just saying, where.

Speaker 7 (18:00):
The twenty years of stuff that you think could actually
be done the next twenty years, like smell avision, like
television that makes.

Speaker 9 (18:06):
No smell come out.

Speaker 2 (18:07):
You know what I mean?

Speaker 7 (18:09):
People would want for marketing now there.

Speaker 2 (18:11):
Is obviously we've seen that that exists in movies.

Speaker 1 (18:13):
Can I be real honest though, I don't need it, Okay,
I don't need it.

Speaker 5 (18:18):
I don't I don't need a lot of this stuff.
I'm just saying something that, like doesn't it could be done.

Speaker 2 (18:24):
Yeah, No, I'll give you that. I'll give you that.
I do think it'll a thank you, ma'am. I do
think it'll be amazing to see where TVs are in
twenty years.

Speaker 6 (18:33):
In terms of the picture quality.

Speaker 2 (18:36):
The picture quality is great.

Speaker 4 (18:37):
They already have TVs that you can buy if your
house that are the size of your walls.

Speaker 1 (18:41):
Yeah no, no, but walk where we go with three
D was a bust? But where are we gonna go?
We're not We're not going to stop evolving.

Speaker 2 (18:51):
By the one.

Speaker 1 (18:52):
I thought of one, like you guys thought of one.
I thought of one. Hold on, let me grab a
couple of these. I thought of one?

Speaker 6 (18:57):
Did Kristen think of one?

Speaker 4 (18:59):
No?

Speaker 2 (18:59):
Shang Hill in the morning?

Speaker 7 (19:02):
Good morning? How about your ski lift for a car
like on a on a rail system?

Speaker 2 (19:06):
Take transport? You wait? Ski lift for your cars?

Speaker 7 (19:10):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (19:11):
What are you doing with your car?

Speaker 5 (19:13):
You're your car to pick you up?

Speaker 2 (19:16):
And where does it take? You don't have like ramps
like I don't know, I don't know.

Speaker 5 (19:27):
That's how I got you know, it was really cool.

Speaker 6 (19:32):
I learned about it over the weekend.

Speaker 4 (19:34):
One of the beers that Timmy from Toronto had brought
down for us was called the Big Shoot and I
read the description and said it was named after a
landmark advance in engineering. Okay, well, what is going on
in Ontario? Here and it's the big shoot marine railway.

(19:54):
Have you ever seen that in action? Where it takes
boats out of the water, then lifts them up over
the land across like this very rocky area and then
put them back in the water. And it's all on
a track the entire time.

Speaker 2 (20:11):
So is to get from one body of water to another.

Speaker 4 (20:14):
To pass over this one oh that space that needs it.
But it was I want to say they built it
in like nineteen seventeen. It was like a really really
long time ago. I've probably done some things to it
in one hundred plus years, but I wasn't familiar with
at all.

Speaker 6 (20:29):
And it sounds like you were not ey.

Speaker 2 (20:30):
I had no idea a marine railway.

Speaker 1 (20:32):
By the way, is there is there such a thing
as a vehicular vernicular? You know, like in Pittsburgh they
have funiculars, Yeah, that go up.

Speaker 2 (20:43):
The side of like mountains.

Speaker 1 (20:45):
Is there a vehicular vernicularlar and whatever?

Speaker 2 (20:50):
Whatever?

Speaker 6 (20:53):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (20:53):
That's a good one.

Speaker 1 (20:54):
No, that goes back to what that guy was saying
where you guys dismissed him.

Speaker 2 (20:58):
I was just thinking of it for a good year.

Speaker 6 (21:00):
But do you just like it because of rhymes?

Speaker 9 (21:02):
No?

Speaker 1 (21:02):
I like it because it helps people. What about musical vision?
This is mine?

Speaker 2 (21:11):
It doesn't sound like this musical vision?

Speaker 6 (21:13):
What does that mean?

Speaker 5 (21:15):
You're reading from that list?

Speaker 2 (21:17):
No, no, I'm just off the top of my head.

Speaker 5 (21:19):
I looked it down and then said, hey, what about
a musical vision.

Speaker 6 (21:22):
Oh no, no, Harry, carry work with me.

Speaker 2 (21:25):
Work with me.

Speaker 1 (21:26):
So like, if somebody is reading the printed word, you
can get glasses, you can get magnifying glass. But if
I'm a musician, I can't read the music sheet in
front of me. I can't get it close enough or
like glasses. What if there was something that aided with that?

Speaker 2 (21:44):
Huh?

Speaker 6 (21:44):
Why can't you wear glasses?

Speaker 2 (21:47):
Hold on, let me look down? Seriously, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (21:53):
Somebody said that they thought it would be a great
invention for people who have really asked up eyes but
they can't read music.

Speaker 6 (22:01):
Oh are they fully blind?

Speaker 2 (22:04):
I'd like to see the invention. This is I just
jotted some notes down.

Speaker 1 (22:08):
I'd like to see the invention of a device to
help musicians with eyesight limitations read music. There are many
ways to help the site impaired read the printed word,
but pianists and.

Speaker 2 (22:19):
Others need to read music at the piano.

Speaker 1 (22:22):
My father's site was so bad he had to look
at the music about two inches away, memorize the music,
and then practice what he memorized.

Speaker 2 (22:31):
He gave his last recital from memory at the age
of ninety four. So is that true? But glasses are glasses.

Speaker 4 (22:37):
Yeah, And we talked about last week. You can increase
the size of what's on a tablet, so if you're
doing sheet music online.

Speaker 2 (22:51):
I thought that was a good one. I'm just trying
to help people, just trying to help people. Line three,
Hi Elliott in the morning.

Speaker 7 (23:00):
It didn't Michael from Richmond in that same vein of
helping people. I know we see them all the time
in the airports, but why why not automated uh, sidewalks?

Speaker 2 (23:10):
Oh like on like on streets and things like that, like.

Speaker 7 (23:14):
On streets and things like the street walkers so they
can take a break sometimes.

Speaker 1 (23:18):
Now I will say this, I will say this, thank you.
Vegas has that now they are kind of covered. Is
the reason you can't do it because of water.

Speaker 6 (23:30):
And maintenance maintaining those Oh it.

Speaker 2 (23:33):
Would be very hard.

Speaker 1 (23:34):
I mean they're not going to do every sidewalk is
replaced by a moving sidewalk, But moving sidewalk like out
exterior moving sidewalks exist in Vegas, and I'm sure in
other places did we.

Speaker 6 (23:47):
Ever use that?

Speaker 5 (23:49):
I'm trying to remember if we did.

Speaker 2 (23:50):
Didn't we use the one by Caesars?

Speaker 6 (23:53):
No, I don't remember that. Was it too hot over
this shot?

Speaker 5 (23:57):
Probably right?

Speaker 2 (23:58):
Oh, I don't know. I mean a lot of times
they do get shut down, and I don't know.

Speaker 5 (24:03):
If they gets to be one hundred and forty.

Speaker 2 (24:04):
I don't know if they were operational this year. Where
am I going? Lyne too?

Speaker 5 (24:08):
You've seen the dishwashers you don't have to bend down
for where.

Speaker 2 (24:13):
Turn yourself on. There's dishwashers that racks elevate there.

Speaker 9 (24:21):
She is where I've seen in a house where it's
a drawer that just pulls out at your level.

Speaker 5 (24:27):
You don't have to bend down to the ground.

Speaker 2 (24:28):
And it's a dishwasher, so the all the plates go
up here. It's like what goes underneath it?

Speaker 5 (24:36):
I don't know. It had like uh, it was like
a one. I guess it was a one.

Speaker 2 (24:41):
Like it's one, there's not two less one deep.

Speaker 6 (24:45):
But it's like this big.

Speaker 3 (24:46):
It's just deep.

Speaker 2 (24:47):
So would you just throw everything in there? Throw it?

Speaker 9 (24:50):
You place it, but you don't have to bend over.

Speaker 2 (24:53):
It's a drawer.

Speaker 9 (24:54):
You pull it out right and you stack cups, glasses, bowls,
whatever in.

Speaker 2 (24:59):
But it's just one one level.

Speaker 1 (25:00):
It's not like the bottom where there's plates and the
top where there's glasses.

Speaker 4 (25:05):
Do you sacrifice getting the whole load dune for convenience?

Speaker 2 (25:10):
I guess well, then anybody could do that. I mean everybody.

Speaker 1 (25:13):
If you've got a top rack in your dishwasher, just
put all your stuff up there and never use the
bottom rack.

Speaker 9 (25:19):
But it's like a deep drawer, right, No, just go
like get what the restaurants use where it's this massive
yo at schools and stuff.

Speaker 1 (25:29):
That would be awesome. That would be awesome. All right,
very yet, Thank you, Kristin.

Speaker 5 (25:36):
Did you have any others you wrote?

Speaker 2 (25:38):
I'm still trying to solve vision problems for people.

Speaker 1 (25:44):
Oh, I thought this was good in my vein of
just wanting to help people.

Speaker 2 (25:48):
What about airbags for the elderly?

Speaker 3 (25:50):
Haven't we talked about that before? And that was definitely
a thing that we talked about where it was.

Speaker 5 (25:55):
Almost like a jacket or something you fell to prevent
everybody from breaking their hips.

Speaker 4 (26:01):
I'm only in my head seeing the World Cup fans
who have the puffy jackets filled with beer.

Speaker 2 (26:09):
Let me grab line too, Hi, Yellie in the morning.

Speaker 7 (26:14):
Hey, good morning?

Speaker 2 (26:15):
Yes, Hi? Who's that?

Speaker 1 (26:18):
Oh?

Speaker 9 (26:18):
Sorry, Nancy.

Speaker 3 (26:20):
I would love to see a refrigerator that will warn
me when food's about.

Speaker 2 (26:24):
To go bad, doesn't it?

Speaker 8 (26:29):
I don't, not that I know of, But you know
something that's like, okay, sensing that this food is you know,
almost going out and you need to throw it out
or use it or I thought.

Speaker 1 (26:39):
You know, I thought I thought that, but you had
to like program what when it was like what you
were putting in? I thought it was like one of
those meales or something that that does everything for you.

Speaker 5 (26:51):
Oh, the one that creates the shopping list.

Speaker 1 (26:53):
Are you also having that heart of a time tracking
what's in the fridge?

Speaker 8 (26:58):
No?

Speaker 7 (26:59):
No, I was just trying to be hopeful. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (27:02):
No, listen, I mean that's no different than you wanting
the lifting dishwasher rack.

Speaker 2 (27:08):
I didn't. That's not one of mine. That wasn't one
of mine.

Speaker 1 (27:11):
I just want I want the visually impaired to get
some help.

Speaker 4 (27:15):
Somebody said this, and it makes you think, and it
probably has to do with efficiency, but whether it's a dishwasher,
and they were speaking about uh washer and dryer about
could technology actually help it so it's not taking so
long and still be efficient and not waste so much

(27:37):
energy right out of the gate, Like when you think
about it, it does take forever to wash the dishes,
wash the clothes, and dry your clothes.

Speaker 2 (27:45):
Yeah, and there are machines doing it. Yeah, Hobart, isn't
that the restaurant.

Speaker 5 (27:50):
That's the restaurant that I think.

Speaker 2 (27:52):
I think restaurants use the whole Bart. I think that's
the brand.

Speaker 5 (27:55):
They use that for like their linen's also.

Speaker 1 (27:57):
No, no, that's for like dishes though, and that's quick,
but it's probably way too expensive.

Speaker 5 (28:06):
Yeah. One of these Hobarts is like twelve grand.

Speaker 1 (28:09):
Yeah, so we need a home bottle. And by the way,
I'm gonna add another layer. If you can give me
a machine that washes, dries, and as long as we're
at it, folds laundry, yes, that would be great.

Speaker 2 (28:24):
That would be your winner.

Speaker 4 (28:25):
Modern washing machines take long because they prioritize energy and
water efficiency to compensate for using significantly less water and
lower wash temperatures. These pins extend the washing and tumbling times,
do it fast. So that said modern washing machines. When
the washing machine first hit the.

Speaker 1 (28:48):
Scene, Oh, down by the river they had those us Yeah,
there was that, and then afterwards I would use it
in our.

Speaker 5 (29:00):
Like aunt b would.

Speaker 2 (29:03):
What were those cold where the washboard?

Speaker 5 (29:06):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (29:07):
Yeah, down by the river.

Speaker 5 (29:09):
I'm glad I wasn't born in that era.

Speaker 2 (29:10):
Oh, no, kidding.

Speaker 1 (29:12):
And you know what they never look like? Oh it's
only seventy today. It's nice leaning for hot af.

Speaker 4 (29:18):
But the first like automatic washing machines, right, were they
much faster because they weren't considering any sort of conservation.

Speaker 2 (29:27):
I would give. I don't care about conservation.

Speaker 1 (29:29):
If you can make it faster, I'd sacrifice conservation.

Speaker 2 (29:33):
Me me, me, I would definitely sacrifice that.

Speaker 6 (29:40):
That's funny.

Speaker 4 (29:40):
The most common question for Google is we're old washing
machines better?

Speaker 1 (29:45):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (29:45):
Really? Yeah?

Speaker 4 (29:46):
The answer is yes, Well that's what we were looking
up because it is odd that in today's day and age.

Speaker 2 (29:54):
That's a good one.

Speaker 4 (29:55):
It does take so maybe forever. I know you're thinking
about the blind still visually impaired.

Speaker 1 (30:00):
Right, and if it folded the blind, would they be
able to fold their laundry?

Speaker 4 (30:04):
But now take the concept of just speeding up? Right,
something that we currently have and does an idea come
to mind to you?

Speaker 2 (30:16):
Okay, we did what dishwashing, showering?

Speaker 4 (30:21):
No?

Speaker 5 (30:23):
Oh, a way to clean yourself faster.

Speaker 1 (30:26):
It's really how you can get a faster wipe here,
wipe there, I need to wipe my ass the I
am so goddamn itching.

Speaker 2 (30:34):
What's that invention? Wait? So what do we have now
that I want to put speed on? Are you asking me?

Speaker 6 (30:43):
I was trying to help you come up with that.

Speaker 2 (30:45):
Oh I thought you had one in mind.

Speaker 5 (30:47):
We haven't had a single individual.

Speaker 1 (30:50):
I'm sorry, I asked Helen Keller, who's now sitting down
to play a concert.

Speaker 2 (30:54):
Concerto exactly.

Speaker 5 (30:58):
Concert concerto.

Speaker 2 (31:06):
Hi Elliott in.

Speaker 8 (31:07):
The morning, Hey Elliott, Yes, all right, I had an idea.
Something that you can just scan on yourself instead of
having to go to the doctor. Like it tells you
if you have any health problems and what they are.

Speaker 2 (31:20):
Oh, you mean like a thermometer.

Speaker 8 (31:24):
Something like that, but also like to check your heart
or your liver or any.

Speaker 3 (31:29):
Oh so you like the lockery? Yeah, like the thing
you had done, but make it affordable, right, and by
the way, it couldn't have been more affordable. I didn't
pay a panic, okay, but most people play several thousand dollars.

Speaker 2 (31:41):
To do that, right. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (31:43):
No, By the way, I sent Alan May a text.
I don't know if I do I need to.

Speaker 2 (31:46):
Do that again.

Speaker 6 (31:48):
When'd you have it done?

Speaker 2 (31:49):
It was around last year at this time. Yeah, it
was around the fourth of July last year.

Speaker 6 (31:55):
Did they say every year?

Speaker 2 (31:57):
I don't know. I'm so.

Speaker 1 (31:58):
I sent Alan a text, but I haven't heard back
from him, because I should.

Speaker 2 (32:02):
That would be this weekend.

Speaker 5 (32:07):
Why did I think it was in December?

Speaker 1 (32:09):
No, it was definitely warm outside because when I hear
let me drop a name when I had dinner with
Halper and we were sitting outside, but it was Florida.

Speaker 5 (32:18):
Yeah, that could have been.

Speaker 7 (32:19):
It was hot.

Speaker 4 (32:20):
It was hot, like he took his shoes off and everything,
and you think you might have to go this Saturday.

Speaker 2 (32:28):
So I wouldn't be able to go.

Speaker 1 (32:30):
If if Alan was like, yeah, you need to do
it again, I'm not booking a flight for four days
from now.

Speaker 5 (32:34):
You could teleport.

Speaker 1 (32:37):
Oh that's right, Oh, I'll be there today, be right there.
