Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're a homeowner, or if you own several houses or
a business owner, you can never be too safe, especially
in the world we live in.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
You can, but it can be really complicated to set
up the things that you need.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
It takes extra time.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
You got to think about passwords, what are you going
to do here, what are you going to do there?
Speaker 3 (00:17):
And so I think it's a little overwhelming for folks sometimes.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
Well that's what I used to think until Brian, Hess
of Tattletale came into my life. So, Brian, who's on
the line with us right now of Tattletale, I sincerely
just want to say thank you, thank you for having
the know how to invent something like you have done
through all these years to make us all feel safer
when we're not at home. So thanks Brian, You're welcome.
Speaker 4 (00:44):
Oh wow, it's my pleasure. You know what your next, Michail,
I'm next.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
Well, I don't have a second home, but I don't
think that matters, right Brian.
Speaker 4 (00:55):
Well, what matters is what you say. I want to
be safe, I say, plug one of these things in
and don't think about it too much. So oh go ahead,
now you go ahead.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
So did you visit Mindy's house personally to make sure
it was installed appropriately, or did you have to get
on the phone, like how did this all go down?
Speaker 3 (01:16):
You didn't have to, did you, Bry.
Speaker 4 (01:18):
She wants the dirt. I love it.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
I want the dirt.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
So you want to know, Hey, Brian, should we tell
everybody the honest truth. I've had this tattletale portable alarm
for more than a year, maybe year and a half, Brian,
because I kept thinking, this is going to be great
for Cammy. I would rather Cammy have it in her
apartment on Chittenden, which isn't the safest street in town.
But then one thing led to another and we just
(01:44):
didn't make it happen, And I, like you, Mickayla, thought
this is just going to be so hard to do
that we just kind of forgot about it, didn't we. Brian.
Speaker 4 (01:53):
It's because everybody's used to being lied to, so when
you say, oh, it's easy to do it, it's not easy,
and nobody wants to do it. And then if you
get the cops involved, you don't want the headache the hassle.
So if you could just plug something in like Mindy did,
and then her husband downloads on his phone and he
(02:15):
push this one button to turn on, one to turn off.
It's that easy.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
And it is that easy.
Speaker 4 (02:22):
Yeah, it's the easy. Yet let alone being easy.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
Let me tell you something, Brian, this is why it's
so convenient for us. So Randy has it on his phone.
And honestly, I don't know who's worse at technology, me
or Randy, because both of us are not the best
with any type of technology. But Randy is master this.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
That's how easy it is.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
But I go up there before him because I'm off
on Friday, so he will come up after work. So
I'll tell Randy, a can you shut off the alarm
so I can go into the house on a gadget
on his phone, he presses a button, the alarms off,
he can from his phone turn it right back on.
It's so easy, Brian, How in the heck did you
invent something like this?
Speaker 4 (03:02):
Well, that's because I don't own a computer. So I
am a simpleton.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
A simpleton who has figured out how to hack technology
and keep the simple in simpleton.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
So okay, here's here's what I want to work.
Speaker 4 (03:19):
I don't like the words simple because simply not safe.
Already pretty much run off with simple, but there's do
it yourself, and then there's what many's talking about, plugging
in a box and it's over with.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
So okay, Mindy, you took it into your house.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
It's a box about yea size, it's a little little box,
and so you plug it in where in your kitchen?
Speaker 3 (03:41):
Okay?
Speaker 2 (03:41):
So it's plugged in your kitchen and Randy can turn
it on through the app that he downloaded. And once
you turn it on, what happens brilliant.
Speaker 4 (03:53):
That's what I love about MICHAELA because I asked, did
you ever look up Mas Tobamas on the AI?
Speaker 5 (04:01):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (04:01):
You know I have, Ryan, you know I have.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
You're just letting the listening public know about our noster
domas conversation.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
But there's no noster domas in this well does.
Speaker 5 (04:13):
It need to be?
Speaker 4 (04:14):
Yeah? So when you really just look at it, I'm
going to jump a little bit ahead for Mendy and say, Mendy,
I wouldn't put it in the kitchens. You quite put
it there because there's a counter right, and I'm not
I'm not going to discuss your safety. But I like
any cattle tee with no censors where somebody would get
(04:34):
intercepted coming up the steps at night. That's what I like.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
You go ahead, No, no, you go ahead.
Speaker 4 (04:43):
So I have that's my that's my old thing. Aim
in an area. It's going to pick up the front
door and the steps, and I would take the wireless
motion and I would slam that into the kitchen.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Okay, so what he's talking about this wireless translate. We
had an incident and I did have to call Brian.
We had an it a few days ago when neither
one of us were at the lake house and we automatically.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
This is the beauty of Daddletale.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
Right away, we get a notification that the alarm picked
up something, and we're like, what the heck? When I'm
not there, Randy's not there, who's at the house. Nobody
should be at the house. So I'm gonna play this
little message that came through. And this honestly ended up
being my fault because where I originally put the alarm,
I also cracked a window because I wanted to get
(05:27):
fresh in there while we were going, and the curtains
must have been moving because it got really windy and
the alarm picked up the curtains. So listen to this
notification that Randy and I both got. But this is
how detailed and how with it. Tattletale is listen to this,
everybody for us.
Speaker 5 (05:45):
So number here is eight hundred six oh one ninety
three eight zero. Thank you have a nice afternoon.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
That wasn't it?
Speaker 4 (05:53):
Hold on?
Speaker 3 (05:53):
Oh yeah, it was the end. It was the end
of it.
Speaker 5 (05:55):
And this is a monitoring center calling in regards to
seven three seven to one West Street at seven three
seven one Western Russell's point. We didn't receive a Burger
alarm acuation there. Please give us a call if you
have any questions for us.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
Phone number here is eight hundreds and then she gives
the phone number. But we both get that and we're like,
oh my gosh, burglar at the place. So it was
my fault because it does pick up everything and anything,
doesn't it.
Speaker 4 (06:20):
Brian, now here comes the magic. Yeah, you put another
sensor in. They talk together and they if they don't
see something that's worth it, then they're in a cross somewhere.
They go, oh, we're not going to cause an alarm event.
So if you have one sensor and you want agreement,
you can make yourself what I would call paranoid proof.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
So she doesn't have another sensor.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Right now, you do.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
He just gave me okay, and so that.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Is paranoid proof because the other sensor will double check
your initial So if something moves, I've been I've been
to your place. Now everybody else is going to go bedres.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
Job so with it.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
If those curtains were wearing your house, let me like,
give me the picture, like where.
Speaker 4 (07:12):
Did the where do michayl Just give it a give
it a second. This thing's looking for heat in motion,
so it had to be the right time of day
with the sun and the winding and all that stuff.
But the real deal is Mindy next will add a
censor because she loves her Do you love your place, Mendy?
Speaker 3 (07:31):
I love it? She loves it.
Speaker 4 (07:33):
Okay. So the next thing Mandy will add will be
a smoke detector, and if the tattle tells armed and
not armed, it'll call the fire department if there's a fire, Oh,
smoke press by plugging in a little box. And then
the next thing, you know, you go.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
Oh so so I so I do have another question
based on all this because Mindy's you know, her kids
are older, and she's not turning on that alarm while
she's there and they're still out for the evening. I
have kids that come down to try to get into
my pantry at eleven o'clock at night, Brian, if I
turn my tattletale on, that alarm is going to go
(08:14):
off for motion is no.
Speaker 4 (08:15):
No, no, no no no. We have this other thing
called hot buttons. You could put a censor in your pantry,
not have a call the monitoring station at all, and
you get a text that somebody's in your pantry. We
used to do. Have my kids with a booze cabinet.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Such a smart idea, the booze cabinet the pantry from
one extreme to the other.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
Well, and so maybe that's what I need to do
because Logan, Brian, Logan's.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
My Adhd kid who's fifteen.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
And with Adhd you tend to like you get hungry
late at night if you're not sleeping, he will come
down and he will.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
Just take a bag of chips and we're asleep. We
don't know. So maybe I need to hack this backwards like.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
That, like I actually I think that's.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
What I need to try it for, Brian.
Speaker 4 (09:02):
Yes, Mikhayla, you are a hack backwards. I love it.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
I am a hack backwards. Sometimes it works out, sometimes it.
Speaker 4 (09:08):
Doesn't, And I just want you to know that's what
it's like. When you get a tattlete. You can create
something from nothing or just leave it as a box
plugged in. So if Minty just plugged in a tattlete
and turned on her cell phone, she's got an unbeatable
alarm system. So somebody goes in there and unplugs it,
she's got alarm. Event she knows it's real. If they
(09:28):
pick it up and manhandle the box, it's still going
to make the call. But she knows it's real. Now
she needs a little comfort and she wants to let
the blinds be open. Man. That's fine, Mandy. There's even
outdoor sensors that will let you know somebody's in your
backyard before they get in your house.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
And that covers a lot of acreage too, doesn't it. Brian?
Speaker 4 (09:51):
Well, I also unlocked and locked your doors and it's
all does it all from the box, doesn't need any Internet.
So when you look at being sourced, that's what I
like about that product. It does it without any help
from anybody.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
And you know what's so remarkable of all this when
Brian was growing up. Because we've had these conversations. Brian,
he was never the technology geek kid. He really wasn't.
You didn't even know technology, did you.
Speaker 4 (10:17):
Sold on on a computer? Still don't send me? You
send me an email? Might take two or four days
for I realized I got an email?
Speaker 3 (10:26):
What do you she do everything off your phone?
Speaker 4 (10:29):
I just do everything like it's nineteen seventy. I really
don't care like we're on the phone right now. I
don't care. As long as it's one button push and
it's not going to fail. I'm into it serious.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
Because that's how Brian lives his life. Simplicity, that's what
he wanted to create and Tattletale. He wanted to make
it easy for everybody, and it really is. I honestly
was shocked of how simple it really was to hook
up and know that we're protected now.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
I love it, and Brian, it only took what a year?
Year and a half? What was the total? Again?
Speaker 4 (11:00):
Two years?
Speaker 3 (11:01):
Two years?
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Thanks Brian for calling me out on the well, but
I was trying to downgrade it.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
But but I do think it does speak to how
easy this.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
Is and how we fear things we don't know and
that it's going to be difficult to do.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
And we are both not technology driven, Randy or myself.
I mean really, we have our kids help us out
with so many different things. But imagine the people who
probably feel like I felt. Don't hesitate, guys, it's a
peace of mind. If you have a tattletale, you will
be like me, and you'll be so surprised of how
easy you'll be, like kicking yourself about why didn't I
do this before? Why did it take hearing this conversation
(11:38):
to kickstart me to get a tattletale?
Speaker 4 (11:41):
By the way, how much is the tattle tell?
Speaker 3 (11:45):
It's I was you are you gonna go?
Speaker 1 (11:49):
I'm not gonna tell about the discount. I'm just gonna
tell what you go ahead.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
And tell me one hundred ninety nine dollars and it's
nine bucks a month.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
Nine bucks a month. That's the what I for monitoring, right, Yeah.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
Yeah, So when you really look at it, most people
don't even have an alarm event their whole life, which
is good. So I give somebody thirty or sixty bucks
a month when you're when you're they're hoping you'll never
need it. They're betting you're not going to need it,
so they're going to take your money.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
Yep. So people can learn more where, Brian, or do
you want us to say it?
Speaker 4 (12:20):
I'm going to say they should go to Michayla dot
com or Mendy dot com. What do you think?
Speaker 1 (12:24):
I don't even know where, Kayla and I will do
it on the count of three, one two three tattletale
dot com. Boom, How do you like that? Tattletale dot
love it? And you are celebrating how many years you've
had this business?
Speaker 4 (12:40):
Twenty seven? Can you believe it?
Speaker 1 (12:41):
Twenty seven years? That tells you in itself how successful
this company is.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
Guess what, Brian, Mindy dot com is an AI studio website?
Speaker 3 (12:51):
Is it really is? That's of course Mickayla looked it up.
Thanks for giving her that kid tool. Mickaela dot com
is still available.
Speaker 4 (12:58):
But I want to know. I want to know. I
want to know if hacked backwards dot com is available.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Are you going to buy that ur L and then
pack backwards backward dot com?
Speaker 4 (13:11):
Well, you can't hack a tattletale and that'll be our
next conversation next month.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
Yeah, because it's undefeated.
Speaker 4 (13:18):
Yes, but you can't hack it. So you know what's
beautiful is when you can't hack something that's really nice.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
I can't be rich hack backwards. It's okay, you can
use that as it. Brian Hess tattletale dot com.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
