Ah what is that? people? internet. Welcome back to a bonus episode of the way from podcast where I am given and hopefully no tech this week.

This you know usually right here is where are we talk about? All the tech stories we're going to talk about today is the opposite. Our goal today is to talk about no tech.

Notice there's no laptops in front, any of us, nothing. Video views have already picked up on the lack of tech ones. So we were thinking .

of a bonus episodes this month, and I kind of came up with this idea, which we elaborate on a bit more, which was we asked every single person, including us, inside of the studio, to bring in something that they enjoy that has the least amount of tech possible. So this is kind of the opposite of what we do in every single piece of content we've pretty much ever made. We like, we like new technological things.

Let's look at some things that people like that do not involve. Ch, this is our tech detox episode, tech detox show and tell, show and tell along. Now we have to make kind of game showing.

So um we're giving each person five minutes to pitch their object. We are not ask questions during that r go at the end of the episode is to all vote. The four of us here on which we think is the coolest but also the least technologically advanced.

Um and one less thing Alice wiped up for us is we all have a button in front of us. We're calling this that is tech button also, no one in the studio knows about this butter yet, I don't think. And so when they come in, if their way of explaining their item involves taking, anyways, we press this until then, that is tech.

嗯, OK dad is actually quite hard to come up with objects that are not really .

considered technology. That only is IT hard. We gave you guys extremely, I think monday we decided make IT and yesterday is when we told everyone to bring something .

so yeah yeah, more time yeah well, uh, we can just stand front into IT. Yeah, let's a sort of start.

Um do you want to start work as I do you start as a pressure.

But first, I don't actually have my item with me. I was far too large and heavy for me to bring.

and that I could. okay.

So I little back story went to music school, have a degree in music, unfortunately, and love playing music. Obviously, it's not my career at the moment because i'm here with you lovely people, but I OK well, you know, so it's find my time. My music industry friends do not consider this working in music, and then my non music industry friends just cannot tell the difference tween any of the the different entertainment field.

So depends on who asked anyway. I wanted to play music at home. I live at a small broker apartment.

A piano was not really, he's ready here. I was not really feasible. So I got, i'm GTA use the d word. I did get a dig here.

Me out here.

me here. Me out. O, K, O, K, I, I specifically wanted something. I was not going to go in my music studio.

I wanted something I was going to go in my living room would never get plugged into a professional piece of gear, would never be used on a track, would never be used. It's like, this is purely for fun. And so I sought out the only digital piano I could find that had both speakers built in. and. And but here's like a no screen, every no.

I said no screen.

every single, every single digital piano on the market has a little like L, C, D screen, which my opinion makes IT completely in eligible as a living room peace. Because then you have this little tiny, like it's IT sucks. And so here I have.

I pulled up a picture. I've seen this piano. And IT is a beautiful piece of the yeah.

in essays, IT is tech, but in spirit.

Can I ask a question? absolutely. You have to turn IT on.

say so many .

things are tech. It's hard to turn IT on.

but you have to wait with tubes to warm out yeah .

that I feel like that qualifies not that's IT.

Yes, yes.

I turned on. Yes, it's tack, but I chose that one specifically because IT is the least tech, the least tech, but without spending like eight grand on a nod.

This is like so if like you're smoking, there is going cold turkey, which is what we're talking about. This is like the vapp technology. This is like you slowly getting away from the tech aspect, but that is a really pretty planner, was a called.

that is the cord S V two S P seventy three, with speakers made by a really cool company called k array from italy.

Svea me.

part of me was hoping one of the companies would have .

to taking IT, and I was ready. Thankfull I didn't get that hard. Yeah, it's a really cool ACE.

If you are thinking of buyer ness, here's what I will say. It's perfect. I love IT. There is one flaw that no one about any of the reviews mentioned, like I watched so many reviews before buying this, no one mentioned this. So hear to hear first.

Uh, all the sounds in IT are in stereo, which rules, because IT has left and right speakers, and IT sounds very alive. OK, I see. I see. Now, how long say, anyway, would you put the effects? Wow is just have this .

just but it's I just to get this .

out because because no one mention this in any of the reviews and IT really I was like, how did everyone gloss over this when you put the effects on um IT goes from stereo to mono one hundred percent of the time, which like, why can I not have a stereo course? Why can I not have a stereo flanger? Why does this instrument become small and fake sounding just because I don't understand how everyone of, anyway, that's my rant. That's my thing we grow about.

This is like as a period of wall yeah but a certain period time inventing the piano and being like the mechanics of a hammer hitting a string and vibrating and doing this but probably consider technology totally really can .

get on where I think that's the point we should elaborate at the end. All of the things we look at and I think we're .

going to have to dive into yeah, the cameras I own are like extremely technically complex, but they're on't fully mechanical alright.

I think we have to draw clear line of what is taking, what is not. And I, I like two options right now. My head, one is, is there an on off switch? okay. And two is, is there any compute at all?

OK can I go next? As a stark contrast, mine is OK far less interesting than I finally .

finally pulls .

out .

a rock.

That s my cast .

iron pan that I use almost every day OK. Um cooking with IT is an absolute joy in comparison to regular pants. Nonstick pans are heavy, horrible IT is heavy. I am extremely.

extremely proud of the seasoning .

that I mean okay don't want to start that argument because like if you are a well season castle van, you can use so on IT um that .

in .

my thing is that how is some design because .

so chemically do is clean.

How are you trying to say, well, I don't use so upon IT so so but essentially all this is is an absolute stamp piece of metal yeah um and through no loving commitment isn't a .

cast yeah no cast .

iron .

yeah you're right. IT got stamps correct? True the pen here at this I can do cast.

but so.

like if you've never go to the cast is in pan, the series you get on them are absolutely amazing.

Divertissement the first .

OK the versions. Laity get out of IT, being able to put IT into the event and not worry about anything. They will last forever. This is probably seventy years old. And he was like, twenty dollars is just lodge.

Lodge is not very expensive and and all you have to do is to keep IT pretty much, which is not as hard as everyone thinks. But out of the things in my house that I used the most that I think fall under the don't category, this will never have wifi. This will .

never have an APP.

No on set. This will yeah no blue. I said not the most exciting.

I mean.

by on the dumb scale, I like that they also realizing it's still a little .

dirty way as it's .

first to me and that's not .

to make this battleground. I switch to cast iron and this is going to be like so happy to be weird. But it's when I realized that heat is like really energy and like the same way that electricity is energy.

Like what makes castle and work so well as IT can retain so much more heat. So you're cooking with stainless, you can get IT ripping high really quick. But then you put meat on IT ah out the sun. You've add of this like thermal load, you're losing so much heat and so even though you'll get like ten seconds of six, hear that thermal load is drawing all that he out of the stainless cast tired on the other hand, is just like this giant thermal battery mean you can put such a load on yeah and it's still able to retain all of that .

energy on the big reason cities are, they need to be redesigned right now, because so many cities are designed around like concrete and also like box and like walls of buildings are concrete. And so during the summers, they are retaining too much heat. And because it's getting slightly harder every year, that's making the effective like radiation .

of walking on the city feel really still. That's right.

The worst thing just.

you know, return to the the forest.

好, yes, OK.

that's good. good.

I like, think this.

Start contrast there.

Yeah, I go on times so excited.

I'm excited for years. And for my eyes, for some reason, the ones of the most in.

yes, I can go, is very heavy. Second, find a little free, free, ample. So this is hard for me. Okay, I use a lot of tech. And in my life, for everything that I do, I am terminally connected to the internet and just in general, use tech for everything. And I also didn't want to go like too easy with, like even the things that i've designed, like I could have said, my shoes on my wall and my backpack, like the obvious stuff that's technically not tech. But I got something I did get something OK for.

even on camera you can see this, but IT is sitting on the floor under two jackets, so we can see IT. IT seems heavy.

Oh, oh.

is they will just .

shoo for audio. It's a large object to underneath the jacket .

is you want to put us so english? One, yes.

so this is both. I just look up the name and I got, i'd been .

taking a time, one hundred and five towns. One .

casually.

No, the same thing. That's the .

whole thing. sorry.

great. okay. So cutting out from the episode.

So this is called the both legs select tech, adjustable select tech, select.

down.

Okay, well, I ready.

Yeah.

but hear me out. Okay, so this is an adjustable done bell. So as someone who regularly does free wait workouts because there are Better of the cable machine ines or any sort of machine in my opinion, um not having to have a tone of different wates of every single weight from five pounds all the way up.

listen this that is it's so funny .

that .

the mike .

is the exact same color.

We have you up to fifty two and half pounds in increments of five or two and half at lower weights. Really cool a tell me tech makes this sound that sounds like a like, hey readers something um and yeah so you basically you can rap IT into whatever way you want and let's say on five pounds now this is five pounds, but these like keys in the middle I feel like i'm doing I like an add something now i'll do ten pounds on each side.

You can do uneven size, but that silly now is ten pounds because it's got extra weight on IT. And this continues to go only up to fifty two and a half. I have the other one at home, which is one hundred pound, which is in larger increments between wates.

I think it's five pounds between every can go up to one hundred pound dumbbell. Wow, this is great. Saves me a lot of time if I want to very quickly adjustment, add a tiny amount way between sets, I can do that or just, yeah, I can use them for anything.

They're great. They commend you, but I recommend. And they're like I got them like in peak cover, like extreme expensive. I got them before code.

so they are not that exit was like an N F T. Like the sales of those. Yeah, they sold out. And if they were on, people were just reselling them on facebook. I tried to get a pair of them and there's no house.

So I understanding how the word taking the name, okay, but I don't think that these are tech. I've brought them because they have no one, but in no computer, they are just weight .

IT is you are completely right.

There is your tech involved, which is why it's so funny that the first .

thing you said, the difference between technical and technology, like we kind of like combine them at the same time, but like technical school used to mean that you would go to school for like a trade.

Yes, I do think that they are using when they say select tech, they are using the term technology. But I think that because the term technology is extremely overused and anything that's even remotely like innocent gy.

like yeah.

which you know.

So that happens. And black total once IT really the fact that they haven't reached out to you and made you a what part of their marketing team? Yes.

anything innovative used to be called a technology. And now we associate IT with .

computer em, who covers like, yes.

like sumer, the world .

to the greek root tech. That is the center of both the words like technical.

And I was just .

going this up. So that means IT refers like a craft or a skill or like a specific that's like .

taking so we screwed up the word.

It's our fall.

We come to here the word sort of.

嗯嗯, okay.

I like that one. I like it's like I do like that even though there's no computers and it's still like cool.

It's well designed. And I wanted to shed out something that was, I will also say.

during covet, like before they got super expensive, I was trying to decide that one. And like the cheap knock off amazon basics one.

I .

no, no.

it's good when there's that much weight applied to like a pin mechanism or not a pin mechanism, but like sort of key mechanism like yes.

they get shamed. So in the mechanism of the cheap and they take forever verd to change the weight settings of. And then also, when you have that much way on the bar, you need IT to be like a rubberized to the point where IT doesn't like really press in the your hands and hurt you.

The cheap ones will do that and also IT yeah IT takes forever to change weight. And this was really difficult because I was trying to do like home work out precise es through like I don't know, like insAnitary and that stuff like that. And you have to you have to pick up different sets of dumb ls different weight of tumblers. So I was like rapidly trying to change the weights and they were moving really quickly and I just couldn't do IT in time. So yeah, having I paying extra .

for that I think is worth OK well IT .

yeah I love IT. I'm going to do my now yeah ah IT is predictable but wait.

let's guess .

it's a film.

It's sitting on .

the ground then I didn't cover IT hey, come I I got arguably well.

I already know how you're trying to have explain .

your right now arguably one of my least technologically advanced Cameron OK, which I have a couple that are just really simple. This one is also really simple but uses just like you're both like stumbles, some innovative uh machining to make IT like workout and be clever .

words right there. O K, I think that .

might be one of the best parts. And this is watching people slowly realized how they wanted to explain IT and then changing their words.

We've talked many times about my obnoxiously long photographs. So this is my most recent of noxious, sly, long camera on more than it's really heavy. It's really heavy IT IT is basically just peer steel. What's called this is called that the linh f techno rama art six, two, four.

I easy. Oh, oh, is a .

techno .

that you're .

right.

easy. This was really.

Like I don't know a really long time .

that thing .

looks for it's .

really yes, it's a .

before the before the fifties, i'm pretty sure. And they were using anyway the the brand is called toy toya um which uses it's like I think its own by lenhart f lahm is a very old camp company anyway. What makes this interesting is IT is a six, five twenty four camera, but this is one correct OK. We but we use six five because there are so many things that use six that you just have to be able to compare IT everything like eighteen I got IT ah yeah like, yeah.

like like yeah twenty.

twenty one yes twenty one, nine, six, six, five, nine yeah exactly. Because everything's aspect, so is quite literally just a box, right? Very long box. There's a film gate in here and then just alliance is literally so the lens in in most modern cameras, a lot of stuff happens on the camera itself like you're you're changing the shutter speed and you're changing the I S, no stuff. But on this, everything happens in the lens itself because this is a large format lens. So you have a shutter in the lens itself, you have a shutter speed on the lens itself, and you also have a patrie on the lens itself right here .

and closes the APP atr. yeah. So you trigger shutter with the lens. Yes, how is the shutter speed mechanism communicate with the shutter? Like how does not know how long to opening spring?

Yeah tension, really. Yeah, interesting. It's all just tension, which is insane that they are able to get at that like precise and they can do IT from one second all the way up to one five hundred of a second. Ah there's also a bob mode and know that I so like for example, you hear that I do doesn't sound me to yeah yeah.

That's good. Doesn't a spring loose tension over time? Now, like seven years old.

you would think so. And often you need to get, uh, these kind of thing. C, L, ID. But for some large format, lenses are good.

Can you explain what?

Say, sorry, so I mean, uh, clean loob and. Arson something else, but it's basically just like cleaning up the insides of a america. Yeah so here's here's the the cocking mechanism.

See you caught IT and then you have IT like one five hundred of a second and usually you use this. okay. Oh, here's the other call OK. Sorry, this is long winded, but so the the back of the camera where you put the film in secretly hides this, which is a ground glass system yeah and then the ground glass system goes on here and then you have to use like a dark cloak. Um but when the lens is all the way open, and before you put the film and you're able to see and frame through that and frame through that, you can really see because they had a brighter light source generally and IT mostly circuit m with no anyway is eight ten lands with this six, five, twenty four film game. So everything happens in the lends itself and then for focus you have this nob which literally just moves a blows forward and backward because you are just focusing the lay on the film plane and ah yeah so you can hook up you can oke up a shuttle release to here, which allows you to like do IT remotely um but once you cit, you can fire IT by just pressing this well and it's it's not very if you have on one second, you know you get and you shoot IT and it's .

like that's .

the spring well is not some good sounds .

on the know yeah.

I saw you wrote a camera. I tried not to look that hard. At first I thought, was the three printed one and now I was going to go off about like three party .

that's specifically did not bring that one.

We I have been like looking at every looking cleaning of this .

to try and find .

something electrical .

and .

there .

is no .

though .

there's .

a physical level on top, like everything .

is it's .

a level like.

yeah there's a bunch of different bubble levels. And then they actually mounted, you know, on on my three d printed camera. Use the smart phone as the tiv, as if find they actually made of you, find her that you can look through the top here.

So this is more like after you've already loaded the film and you've used the back.

be a off. So OK, this ground glass is only if you want to like focus. But with a camera like this, you're mostly shooting landscapes. That's you're mostly seeing landscapes. And if you want to focus, you can only really do IT for like one shot, because you only get three shots in a roll of film on this. Anyway.

only open up for the first. You you could focus IT .

and then break IT IT, which would be doing like different exposure to make sure that you get the right exposure. H, D, R, you say, no kind of sure, manual. H.

D. R, but yeah, there's literally nothing wiry or computer about this. It's a, it's a box.

I love boxes. So protocols and boxes. That's that's what I like. My thing.

How good is the face attacked in the .

of are these filters?

Yeah yeah was yes, you could put the filter on the front but yeah I don't know. I will say also um as someone who is now shot six five twenty four and six five seven and six twenty four is too long IT is I the defeat? IT is too long. It's just a noxious to show on the internet at all.

I going to go into that way.

Yeah so yeah I do love my box though, even though it's made of steel and it's really heavy.

I feel like David is the winter so far?

Oh, oh, I do like how, even though none of our objects are directionally technology cept telesis right? Yeah, the ally, they all are very like, mechanically. interesting.

Yeah yeah. IT used to be technology. yeah.

You know, like interesting. Is not making .

IT involved technology less interesting.

more everyday useful the physics .

of caster or interesting this is a different kind of pen.

Have many .

more um of these items to show and tell to get to. So without any further to do, I think let's jump into this, see everybody else brought .

after the break.

World, right? Yeah, yeah.

yeah, yeah. Things that, you know, take your brain, critical thinking, that kind of self, right? Whatever is something that would .

appear that as well. Yeah, I think so. You're all .

the athletic too, right? You can read ferris.

you get strong forms ah.

use that right?

okay.

And when I when .

I brought today, oh .

oh .

yeah.

So for the listeners, these are a pair of .

sportiva .

climbing shoes. Co, yeah. This is about a hundred dollar product, maybe hundred thirty. I don't .

sale a car. Views .

like there, like the epidemic, low, low tech, will also be like there. The most uncomfortable shoes.

very uncomfortable. Yeah, every sport I play as special football, they are all fort a most, most footwear. Because the special y're like design for a purpose, island comfort.

You know the climbing shoes er like if you took your ultimate leads and IT needed to form your big toe into the Spike that went into the ground yeah imagine that the whole time you're working no I I mean.

yeah they're all uncomfortable. This is probably the most comfortable like their pitch is one of the more comfortable like shoes like you could wear these for four, five hours if you're out and no, you know the woods. So the tyne.

the technical process of like what are they designed around? What is the benefit of climbing shoes?

More toe on edge. You're trying to get a Better edge early .

day as they used .

to just have like three wear shoes like converse, whatever. And they would just tie them so tight that their feet you want, your toast, the curls you can grip IT, right? But over time, we've adapted the shoes to to have a little more that edge and to be a little more comfortable. So you're not literally .

like flexible around the to .

area they to flex, but there meant to be stifled so that total and flex too much. So more of the work is kind of in the shoe and not so much on your muscle.

So you do the two flex and mars .

does the both flex .

nice and both lax?

He brought in his both flags. So I .

suppose .

that that .

named and high square.

anyway, yeah, i'm cool. I mean, an in climbing .

is a good one in this because especially outdoor climbing is generally like one of the least technology things. But what your climbing on, something that is nature, it's like not even built .

you to put this one away. You have to be social. You have to really thank and like, you know yeah you have to be in the moment too.

It's pretty the moment that's true.

That's true.

I do like them and they are just like, you know, you've made adam shoes and how much of that was based on comfort and style?

Can say, Andrew, he skipped you, but now that you've seen these.

he's good there. There are good shoes. There's like a lot of different types of shoes like he was saying, as uncomfortable as those look, those are meant for more comfortable, like people generally use that for more traditional climbing where there's y're up on a welfare really long time.

We're like boldero shoes start getting a little more of like turn your foot into an eagle talent uh, because you're usually doing things at a little more of an angle. So IT benefits if your toes down a little to level and a lot of people, and he gets to the point where and this is for like the professionals using the smallest holes possible, uh, like holds to put their feet on. They are their shoes will be so tight that they can't fit their foot inside them.

They essentially have to put a plastic like grocery bag in them. I shouldn't be putting my hand, not but and then they'll ll put the plastic bag their foot and slip in and then you pull the plastic bag out. So it's like, yes, they're in like two street .

sizes down like over their street like a fewer size thirteen. They're ring like basically size eleven.

That's like.

yeah so I I think I like i'm down one whole size .

of the misty two saying .

that's why IT has twice me yes OK interesting.

Yes, I was my tech item.

You guys yeah I definite in the like shoe tech it's a nh tech of IT um but yeah like for Normal shoes IT is not following any of the standard .

protocols and thank .

you and we're going to get you on the .

wall I know IT one day .

don't don't give.

Do you know what they like? Tops of the shoes are made like, what is that .

soft material? Be careful.

sweet. Yes.

this is literally .

like swade poly .

astern laces.

And br bbi, yes, so is sweet.

Very, very, extremely comfortable.

All right. Thank you very much. Time, spend a pleasure. We appreciate that.

I like your shoes.

怎么回事?

这个 是 我要。

Next up then.

I see the item already.

We brought one for all of us.

Yeah, this is a little bit of a show. Ana.

oh, so you .

inspect the loves. Wo.

so my item is my electronic, but you don't need all the extra stuff. You know, you can play by yourself or with friends, and you don't necessarily need the default ball. But oh, this is, there is two different balls technically, if you feel them up.

This one is the traditional one. And this is a newly manufactured ball, even though he looks a little bit older. That's not actually made of the same rubber IT. Doesn't greece up the same as if like the a the original all so within a year, like because there's a lot of kids playing and like the ball gets toss around a lot and black through weather, they traditionally get slick and oil that point that the rubber like gives out and you can't can't throw the ball consistently. So the newer ones manufactured differently, different .

construction. So there's a second sports item of the day. Yeah so tim had climbing him, climbs.

I imagine you're playing a good mental across a little on in fact, I played one season of across a very long time ago in high school, uh, around the high school age yeah, ah yeah, yeah. Think early high school. And I realize I didn't like getting truck all the time. I stopped playing .

to get that .

you can get stick cheer, but you can get checks like a hockey you can have. So one run right up to you and just, I do I tell people that I would feel I was stick checking a lot.

But checks, right? You ever played catch with like a parent or an other .

sibling for wn yeah.

maybe with your friends, maybe if you don't .

have friends, you can play against the wall, are really, and you can just p IT at a wall and then receive IT. Yeah, IT across is always been interesting. At first this glove is really import actually. Well.

careful about .

engineering, the civil engineering.

It's like for such a protective glove, the ventilation and the movement .

is .

like work. yes. wow. So the reason why it's called lock cross that sounds kind of french, right? That's because french canadians coin that term after they think IT from the native americans.

Wow, do you know he was called originally?

I don't know the x in the language, but I was called the creators game.

There is a really cool. I think it's the youtube channel of a person who still makes the like original, the crocs of like car, like taking from a tree, slowly benching the top and weaving the netting of IT .

really interea.

When did you start playing across?

I started in middle school, but well, I started casually in middle school, but I got a stick in fifth grade from my friend martial roads. Shout out, fifth grade birthday present.

sick birthday present.

Yeah, I I think this definitely is not tech and is definitely qualified as a interesting and potentially very useful and fun also sports related.

I have a question, do you have a across activity on your apple watch?

Yes.

hurt. That's going to .

hurt attempting .

to find the absolute.

the the holes.

holes. Also, this gloves is vapor, which is like vapor where.

or just like regular paper. So .

say.

so this one is peer scandium. But if you look at the top of that, when I left the head off, yeah, you can see a little insert. And around that insert, uh, do you see any like layer look like.

I mean, yes, like way.

And then black, that black part, it's carbon fier.

Oh.

so structure.

And when I started, I played competitive ly in high school for a couple of years and carbon fiber was not as popular. But now after some advancements, and none, none, not onna mention here.

ford, some innovative structural engineering. No, no.

no.

they didn't think no. Engineer s after some time.

they figured that out cool. And so could have been a lot of improvements over years. It's called to come back and see .

what's change where. And thank you very much. This, yeah, this falls under the non tech catered.

Thank you very much.

Go and play and good luck at your next game or match, or whatever it's called. Yes, match and match, right? Game .

me very .

nice.

Didn't have taken the name.

It's good, good. It's good.

right? We're ready for our next contestant. It's branded world branded.

Welcome.

thanks for chair. Welcome, welcome. Tell us.

And then before you tell us anything you may notice of bother here. These are that tech buzzers. So at any point, if any of us get a wife of technology, might hear up sound. Yeah, no pressure. Anyway.

don continue.

continue. What is your item, Brandon?

Well, I mean.

think a few people would probably not be surprised by this information. But I really like writing on paper.

very like writing on paper.

specifically dotted paper because you get some nice clean lines. I doted paper started yeah um like a dog rid O O um I like storyboarding because I don't really like to think too much up here. I like to put on paper so I have a few new books. This is just from the past year um and these two notebooks are .

pared with the ridge pen.

I will say I think the benefits of something like dotted paper is you can have like building .

and stop good you like.

yeah just .

a casual dress. I mean.

I like I get rather bored .

sometimes when I like like waiting at the doctors appointed .

or something. So like curling.

you are using something.

Go A E just story board.

I don't like IT o and .

it's what's the name of the new book?

You know it's a great question. I'm trying to find the link but it's it's just a no book like it's it's more so the category.

the fact doesn't have a name. Fs, so much more in line with like being remo basic, simple thing.

They were asking what kind of drawings the people do with doted paper.

I mean, usually you're looking at more creative drawings.

which you call the most part technical drawings degree.

So what I think is interesting .

and maybe this is what helps with that is like it's like dated in a good pattern. So it's less obtrusive than fall on just lined paper because, you know, like our kind of looks bad on my in play, but IT has more reference points somehow still than my paper, so you can go directly popping down, you know much more consistent. So when you're doing storyboarding, you have a very set grid pattern of how you are setting that up.

Also, I like, is that there not like the doctors are not really like dark yeah soft. So you know draw over .

them and I mean they go back quite a bit. But yeah, this was the first page, which was the m two macbook air. Such a good inter as .

the person who is generally controlling the robot for a lot of these ideas, like IT is so useful to have stuff like that. I remember like when you first started doing IT, IT was just like, and close up of the left side of this. And that this is my fall. This is not brand is small, but but like Brandon, being able to say, like this is what I want and IT looking exactly what it's supposed if I can frame, makes all of our jobs easier.

faster, so much faster. Yeah, stands my pick.

That's also .

caviar to this. yeah. If you want to enjoy what Brandon does, you have to be talented, right? I'm out.

That's not .

it's not true.

The does that help? Actually also there's the fat.

This is definitely ly not tech and definitively useful and we .

all can vouch. I expect to hear back from you guys. Very .

thanks.

Thank you very much. Ky.

thank you. Later by.

Everyone's don't .

really good at this.

What's the .

name of the new book? Not ten .

OK to be for that. It's .

called the tech no like .

no tech you know techno I think up .

next, at least according to my list, we have someone who's got pretty interesting um so without further to do, I think it's time to bring on M K B H D editor morazan.

I don't .

think if .

you think this okay, I always go on and SHE.

If all something like different, it's much if you're looking there .

is there's both legs in there.

Hello, sharks. Today i'm looking for a one billion dollar steak for ten percent of my company.

Just got a Peter luger yeah.

And I know you love in and boxing experience, I do. So I will let you open the abba ATS.

Okay, i'm so hoping it's .

not what I think this is the time I I hope .

IT is it's .

not IT OK never mind.

okay. So there's several things here. I'm going .

to take them at each out. Are we looking at OK?

I M, I see OK. Okay, so I .

will. So we're .

looking at a score .

of sorts .

like fabric.

Do you .

think IT is is IT the photo mic under .

your desk with what do you .

think this is, David?

I also thought I was a table tennis, uh, net.

What do I think that's a table I.

I, I no longer think .

is a day in that could double as IT well under, unfortunately.

knows how my brain chemistry away. And IT is a foot hamitic for under your desk. And IT is clearly a White label, the amazon product from a nondescript company for an unknown Price. Because I did not purchase this, what I have become converted really the.

oh h so these go IT is too clean desk, and then you loop IT over all IT might be hard way you, because I feel .

like this is a product potentially for short people, and you are all very well, and you can please list your heights for all the audio listener.

Ers, the first one on the podcast.

i'm seven foot nine hundred and eighty and vertical and .

five ten and a .

half six years. I think everybody .

could be converted into using this item potentially. Um for anyone who needs to fidget, if we like to all collectively fidget and does yeah a swinger.

I do like that idea no, it's more of a swing than than a hammock, right um .

yeah yeah it's whatever .

you want IT to be OK so .

you feet rest on IT like under desk all the time. We just .

not everyone.

we have to explain something to you. You might see, mark is hold a buzzer right now. Oh yeah, this is are button that alerts if we are sniffing tech out inside of IT. So if the bug gets pressed IT means where on the path to breaking the rules.

I would say this is probably as low tech .

as you can go the foot emc an .

APP no good answer.

There is no APP.

There's no a subscription service um there's no electronics. In fact, that .

might surprise you.

No no .

RGB unfortunate .

no RGB prime SHE .

did not buy IT.

I didn't buy IT.

so I don't know how .

did .

you know I appeared in my home?

There is funny. These desks that we have and also my desk and some others in the studio are made by x text. I thinks what still called.

And one of the options that you can buy is I think it's called in r and bar or something like that, but it's like a bar that's under the death that you can rest your feet on and i'm always resting my feet on that. So this would serve the same purpose. But don't have that bar and you get to swing if you yeah yeah .

oh my god i'm just realizing this table has one of those .

in my feet are all is short.

one billion dogs.

four billion um I do you think I could use this because my desk up begins to wall and you were to look at that wall that is painted way IT just has footMarks probably easily .

make this at home. If you really wanted, you've probably have to cut this off. There's no way to change the foot fabric.

So once the things dirty, your canada's do know that looks .

like the back of like a director .

chair that a small table tennis net.

A really, really small table.

Yeah, yeah anyway, no, just get cool. I I didn't press my bother once and didn't think I.

so I thought you were going to and make her describe the desk and then go out.

But well, yeah, but I mean, survive to use .

this at home.

Yes, this is an at home at paradise. Did we describe that this .

looks like already um IT is basically the back of the directors will right .

what you what sits on top of your desk that while you're using this.

what do you mean?

Is that just an enter desk .

you just take like i'm sitting .

on an empty death swing.

my feet, that's what I ask you.

No.

that's what I, that's what I do on a hammock.

This is a .

fat foot homie.

What on? No, my pencil, please. I need this sharks.

I. No, yeah.

it's a pen and a piece of paper .

like .

thank you so .

much for .

joining even wonderful. Please take your weird thing. I ve i'm .

requesting .

we get all of these for the podcast, dex, because we are in here for a lot of.

yes, a foot. And thank you.

Yes.

thank you. Very fact.

This test did have the bar.

We just didn't attach. Oh yeah, that also, I would .

like IT.

right? I really thought your cat was in the box first.

I would love that. Oh, my god.

And then I would do and just like.

but he put IT down .

very softly and like, I looked like he was really heavy and .

I was like, that's a guess o we .

had two sports things so far, so clearly healthy worklife bounds. Let's see what the next item, life person.

because at next we have special, I don't know his title.

he just asian. He makes up.

makes stuck happy guy geno.

Welcome, welcome, 打手。 Right, right.

Janos will you buy for us today?

So i'm really big into this goal, and i've been developing my technique, light. And that means for the throws, more risky shots and unfortunate, tough. They go into water sometimes, especially in the course there near me.

So today I brought you, let's call a dic retrievers in. This ones specifically is called the max distance. And IT has forty two section cup. And I love this thing.

It's rap. yeah. So IT looks like a bunch of section cups arranged in a ball at the end of this that I assume goes a very, how far just stone like .

twenty nine.

And that I just .

want, say, the, I like this for jha many times. The course by him has a lot of .

water Carries.

oh my god.

Well, this room on fit IT IT.

So losing a discs in the water, you know, they're like fifteen and twenty bucks. It's not the end of the world, but getting IT back is nice.

I think I have, like, this one costs about one hundred and sixty dollars.

Oh, really, yeah, this is so funny.

Okay yeah I i've .

like honestly retrieved like forever .

your so this yes .

yeah that that .

saved like three of mind.

And I know you love carbon fire and its .

carbon fired pieces. Most of the things today have been .

carbon E A lot of carbon fire here. Um so what because it's it's p if a this is in the water and generally flat on top if you have like the one I have is just like two hooks which you can go to drag with but underwater if you can't get like over IT or into that spot IT, that sections really well on the top of IT. And as long as you move slowly.

it'll just slowly pull back.

You don't have to push into the water.

I believe you didn't bring a nal disc.

And water even Better .

in the thing is .

when you're doing .

the water because of like light perfections IT does take a little bit of engineering and actually not that bad, only like an a under two pounds I believe.

Do you think this would work Better if there were RGB L S.

On the end? No, because take Better. No, sorry to your nice T V Y. Yeah, it's find because he said one .

hundred sixty box which sound expensive for what IT is. But the of that like cyp golf and the rational was flipped like if you hit a golf ball into a lake, it's pretty much always gone unless it's nea like the edge that's like three four box above. And so as you play around a golf, you will probably lose a couple of golf balls in the woods, in the water, whatever.

And that might add up to certain about around. But in in disk of the disk is also like the club. So you reuse IT many times and so if you lose your button like that, you like worth a lot more than like a three other golf a yeah so so so i'm not gonna to retrieve my three dollar golf ball from the middle of a lake, but I will go retrieve with this gigantic telescoping carbon fiber pole. Yeah, my puttering .

disco f was also, one of those things is that you, as a player, fall in love what you're this as you kind of break them in a little bit and those become kind of irreplaceable at some point.

takes a ton of ever to get IT back .

to the yeah and I H have two .

or those so that's a twenty nine and half and I got like a fifteen feet one for gillion.

So no, this m part here in this part three prints.

yeah, it's fine.

it's fine. It's fine. It's .

fine. Since it's disk off and you've got a couple minutes less favorite. What is one dissy that you would like? Go to extreme links with that or distrait up the water?

I have told I text you when this happened. Yeah, i'm pretty much if I can get out of work early enough, can I go home early? I might as you go swimming for one because IT isn't a lake but unfortunately there's a lot of like fAllen branches .

around IT .

is yeah I know exact IT is, but because of how all the branches are arranged, kind of making into you like a little jail that I can't get IT out with that. So I might I might have to do that. It's a disGrace. Swimming there are probably reaches.

but the audience .

members still water is disgusting, finding, still do not have any cuts. When you get in IT, yeah, leaches will get to you. So right? I was thinking something discovery.

ted.

but I was just thinking some disks and haven't played long ging up. But that is a really good way of doing of yeah .

also with a goofy object.

It's so silly .

looking yeah like it's sticks out of my bag like a flag pole and people just go that's a sick ever, man.

It's one of those things though where when you're playing disco f people outside of disco fee like I hope they're not making fun of and in A G is almost guarantee .

you should paint that gold so you can call your golden.

That's that's that's good.

That's innovative.

One last fun thing with those as if you have a friend who has one when they're walking, you can kind of throw your disk sideways and see if i'll stick and sitting bag.

Yeah, well.

wow, it's good. What's section you know?

Yeah.

so that's mine.

cool. Thank you. Very question is .

of the product and the company?

哦, no. What does .

that .

say underneath?

Where's the boss? I have .

a website.

right?

That is good. Thank you, john.

Fabula guys, you know one of my favorite smells .

is it's incredible .

transition. It's like like golf course are like a use of park quarter, the super coordinated like super, why do my you .

think of like mini golf course? Our golf .

course is a different smell.

I've never .

do a golf course, so I have .

been a lot of, of course. I mean, I think the mini golf, of course, with a little like water thing can smell ago orated. I like.

anyway, quick.

right? Thank you, Johnny. We're going to take one more outbreak and then we've got four, five more people left. And then we will .

decide a winner.

decide a winner at the end measures to ground.

Hey, it's leam from decoder with the light of top. We spend a lot of time talking about some of the most important people in taking business about what they're putting resources to and why do they think it's so critical for the future. That's why we're doing this special series diving into summer of the most unique ways companies are spending money today.

For instance, what does that mean to start buying and using A I at work? How much is that costing companies? What products are they buying? And most importantly, what are they doing with IT and of course, podcasts? Yes, the thing you're listening to you right now, well, it's increasingly being produced directly by companies like venture capital firms, investment funds and a new crop of creators who one day want to be investors themselves.

And what is actually going on with these acquisitions this year, especially in the A I space, why are so many big players in deciding not to acquire and instead license tech, hire away cofounder? The answer, IT turns out, is a lot more complicated than that seems. You'll hear all that and more this month. I'm decoder with the litel presented by strike. You can listen to the coder whatever you get your .

podcast are you welcome back. We are in the final stretch of workers here, and I think we're bringing in alex next.

That is correct. Alex wolf.

不要 我。

的 is this .

the six team song?

Walking out, I .

pull .

out.

I brought a Wilson N B A grade, apparently basketball.

OK, no, I say that third .

sports item.

third sports item where.

like a bunch, well, actually for attempted, right?

Because down to the stick.

oh yeah, yeah.

yeah. Tempted the shoes, climbing .

all basketball.

forth the itself.

We do one non tech thing and everyone goes fully. Jock.

you would, would you believe with sports here? My cameras heavy and I lifted. So, so this is, so what is a call about .

a studio that you used for the short with the three printer bus, which I would never bring in here, because that is very much tech tex. This just a regular basketball. Now, mine is a little more warm than this, but I figured, just for the camera, make IT look pretty, would use. We just take out .

here three prety so cool.

I fit the I think the reason, we think it's .

calls the exact reason why I shouldn't be in the texting talks yeah yeah.

but IT yeah. IT doesn't have a processor anyway.

Could also include a hop or really anything in basketball because it's an art tech. And then you just have the entire this sort of illustrate .

that some of the floors now let up.

Well, yeah, there are high tech versions like every part .

key ball in the aur game. They did that just further .

contest that the microsoft O H. Alex, what .

makes an .

N B A authentic basketball than? Well, I would get IT like at the exporting .

goods branding you serious. Yeah.

money ze really serious.

but mostly just the same size and wait in whatever is an M B A baseball. But this one is actually made for indoor outdoors. So it's a little more durable of a material. So be mostly just branding. No way.

I totally thought there was like a different like grip composite .

and there is a the way that the way that the ball is fused together. yeah.

I been .

a lot .

of reaching.

And no, you what?

Thank you guys. What I have one I have been prepared if you want.

What's the rent? If we decided to tech?

Yeah, if you guys decided to tech, I have a very stronger bottle.

It's take .

all right.

Well.

you have twenty seven seconds left.

Okay, oh my god. All right. Here.

everybody look at this image. Look, you look at early. Look at this. This is how much the basketball is change in one hundred and thirty or so years. Better.

Do you think James neSmith had an iphone? Do you think that he decided to draw this on an ipad? No, he, then he woke up one day. He said, I want to be a hoper and I want .

the world to .

be a one ninety nine one .

one looks like a what else I was thinking in .

the basket. All was invented by JoNathan.

And I just have a question because you read what this is right there.

Let's get colony dot JPEG .

resolution .

twelve eighty by seven sixty.

Pixel IT is actually .

really .

cool.

How little .

changed .

them look .

like rugby.

So that's a question. Okay, back in the day, they were stitching together like this. Now they are making IT with some sort of fusing.

okay. So you it's famously back in the day two thousand six, if you look at that basketball, they try to change the N B. A. Basketball and make IT not leather, and make IT a composite material.

The players having.

they made a fine love in basketball. Yes, yeah. The players hated IT so much that they had to change at mid season and completely cancelled like all of these best they had.

I think I can throw them away. Well, so yeah, they had to do that. So just to illustrate how non tech basketball is, the smallest amount attack was added to basketball, a composed material, and the players were revolted.

That is sports a, that is a lot of sports. I think golf is, I keep come back to golf because I played IT, but it's interesting because there is a lot of tech, and I can went both ways. I got really, really good, really fast.

All the drivers bigger of the golf balls got bouncer, and every shot went further and spinner and everybody loved IT. And then I kept going and now it's kind of at like this, can we go back little bit moment where everything is too good and too forgiving and too easy um and now is great. I was going to make the point that the three d printing of all just further along this line.

I think .

you .

still .

around. What's .

the point?

The sound doesn't just go through IT. That's the whole thing with that ball is that the rest is quiet is because the air is right. If you rap in something, then it's having got .

IT like I have a story to tell you before you go. Okay, I got a basketball all recently on the street like I was on the curve, someone getting ready of IT and I was playing around with IT. And you know i'm pretty ad of last fall.

Don't have like the biggest hands in the world and I was just handling, like I I was James harden with this thing, bro, through the legs behind the back to the stuff I ve never been able to do before. And I like to this basketball is is sauce bro, like, I can, I am ripping right now. And then I came to .

work that I stay and realized .

I was a child size.

just a.

i'm not talking .

like the kettle, but, you know, not actually bigger than a palm, slightly bigger than a great fruit. Yeah, I was pretty embarrassing to realized that. Anyway, I thank you so much.

Are you good wonder?

Thank you. Alex followed the .

process very well.

Number one.

joe and beat on.

I'm probably gonna to reuse a few. But for the most part, I saw a bunch left .

when I use he didn't even hear .

the music and .

he was too that boy, yeah but feel like .

like .

my you see berkeley min seventy .

six .

ah yes.

if you like my my prime. What I bring to the tables and employee is if you give me an assignment, I will always go above and the od in the siliceous way by coming up with ten original music use. But at next we .

have how?

How do we introduce this guy? You don't know who he is? No.

I see. No.

we ve got three, four people left. We got eric. great. And my is it's miles .

up next as .

miles.

No introduction in the water running and sitting.

What does that mean? Oh, well, is IT raised me .

before I could be faster.

My is welcome. we.

Have a team song korea and .

what you bright shows today.

okay. So you've seen quite a few items already, you know varying in in sizes. You know I don't have A A really big bargain and item to show, but that does have a lot of heart and also may have some long term detrimental effects of my heart in the future. That's neither here nor there. So no, lady and gentle, I introduce you air performance nutrition in the prickley air flavoring.

It's preview out.

reworking out work.

Now, are we .

jokes .

here at this comforting .

spts .

work out now, giving a minute to try to sell this, right? So I chose this product, not only because IT is as far removed from technology, is a lot of the other stuff you've seen today.

but to look at this thing.

since IT has entered, you know, my life thanked to resident .

pog god adam.

who is not .

here too much.

Get give .

very soon .

anos um IT is vastly improved. My fitness journey in the past three, four months, i've used IT. But i'm not asking you to believe me.

I'm only asking you to believe the muscles which I have. I mean, I have some numbers to show you. Six.

six.

just the shaking, my baby.

right? So I don't know if you guys wanted pass this around. Hear familiar with like the apple fitness? yes.

You can swipe two times to see a february and then a march for just like mile times, right? Nothing crazy. Miles times. yeah. Like you can just look at the first mile time.

Okay, so in two months you went, you went from five, seven minutes to six thirty.

Yeah.

right? No, no. Seven thirty to six thirty, you went down one minute.

right? So that is P, B, P, N, H. Wo that's .

super impressive. already.

If you, anna, go to the slide after that, june, july, August, you see a substantial improvement in the mile time.

five twenty two in july and then four forty nine in August. So are you yeah you've miss you sorry, significantly the heart rate.

I don't look at .

the heart rate.

对我 the heart .

will go up to will be one yeah three。 But you got to do that to get to a four forty miles?

no. Yeah, one hundred percent. I mean, I don't think I reached any .

crazy number one, seventy in a full sprint.

I think IT was like two, ten or something like that. I'd be a little concerning.

uh, kids don't do drugs .

but you can buy this on I .

think IT is if he was not supposed to be there is a significant .

amount of caffeine and IT, which is the probably the biggest thing um so obviously .

which is .

why I do cafe market .

making a face this every day.

How much it's three .

hundred milligrams if anyone remembers doctor might coming on the show, I think he said you shouldn't consume more than four .

hundred milligrams a day, right? So when I have this, this is my only caffeine intake for the day. No coffee, no celsa is rebel, anything. This is IT.

So that is over three cups of coffee.

like espresso shots, right? Not just like, yeah.

I think at general cup of coffee around eighty. Milgram.

I saw ninety of google, but and that's .

no .

nine on. So took .

include, right? You know, my fitness journey is one of the ways I tried to like, push myself and self improve in. So B, P, N, bar nutrition performance IT means more than just bar nutrition performance IT means bolly pursuing new opportunities. That means .

probably believing .

in progress, not perfection. Give them say.

this is a president or right right now.

I just have one question miles at the top that says flight is our free workout supplement created to boost your power output, improve focus and increase energy with health. The crash or gitter, is that actually true about IT?

I think so. I mean, you've see me function data day.

not I.

yeah. I mean, this is I no crash. I took some this morning around six o'clock, you know.

no cross.

If you really wanted to picture IT to as well, you want to taking IT right before you can enjoy.

Yeah, I would .

have been just like to great.

Okay, now, yes, that's a good that's good about I didn't see any I read the entire label. I don't see any of any tech there.

any CPU in the ingredients.

No, no, no power, no on off, no drag. right?

Thank you very much.

Yeah.

you're the only person that brought in a controlled substance.

So so far .

so far I think I was .

the only one probably so yeah.

it's let's say, wait before you go miles. Where can people find you in our contact because you are in videos now quite a fair about um yeah .

I mean i've been on like every channel at this point um but out of focus that's the main one that's where and that's where I live that's that's my corner of the internet.

The stuff is if you want to see what miles is like on three hundred millions of cafe with a ferri v twelve, you can see both those things together on youtube. Com, flash auto focus. All right.

get out of my pocket. Thank you very much.

Very nice.

Thank you. Don't forget, don't forget your daily driver.

That's the .

way I find .

my all right.

next week out.

eric.

I'm so this is H.

I like this one.

This is good sic.

This is some like A C。

D.

Hi, jerk. I am eric. I am miles as personal trainer. I mean, I turn in that ship around real good um and then he was like, eric, if you can, if you can turn me this skinny little sacca bones in the muscular man I am now. I think you could also co produce for our studio channel. And so that is that is like what what I money, but like my soul is in the personal training, so I have spoons .

and it's already .

terrified. Okay, this isn't going to be one of those .

like .

cutting things, right? What is that cutting people like.

yes, yeah.

oh yeah, they can. Yeah.

oh yeah. You guys want to guess what the spoons .

are for eating something this point.

Now we all have experience that feels like you're going to make us eat something that be awesome.

Oh no, I shall have .

seen this coming .

a while. OK this? Wait, this is something you use frequently.

Yeah, talk about .

IT every day. Yeah, I even opened, and I bought .

a fresh one just for you guys.

That's nice. Yeah.

what is IT? For those of us, they are okay.

So for folks, this is Q P. Mail, this is, by many standards, many objective measures as well as subjective measures. The best man is that money can buy in a blind taste testing. In the chicago tribune, Q E mail was rated as the best, most delicious man is by a large, wide margin in their most .

recent man .

is bar .

um so okay, so why do you say it's a little bar?

Well, most delicious man is winner. Kind of feels like .

I don't know there are a lot of minutes.

Maybe I don't appreciate many of the level that these people do we going to the strait?

Yeah, yeah.

We're .

going to do.

You will .

say japanese barbecue, as are both elite.

This is japanese mail. Yes.

yes. This japanese mail just .

from a build .

quality .

perspective.

Technology, it's bottle. So.

so how is this mail different from regular mail? OK? So a little bit of history.

This company was originally founded in nineteen nineteen for its first five years. IT was a salmon packing company, japan, that didn't like, can salmon yeah. And in the founder who had like liked in turned in the us was like, man.

The us. Was like, malon lock. And so he went, he created his own take on japanese mail, where they only use the egg yoke. So IT has the thick like custody kind of texture.

And then it's mixed with rice, rice water and a girl or rice water to give you this kind of like mommy, a kind of like almost asian flavor and not necessarily overpowering. But I just gives you a little bit more of like this switch. It's fun. It's just capital f.

It's good. I say i'm going to .

try some as a non mall enjoyer. I first I like i'm onna do this for the pod then I held IT and my stomach got a little guzy.

I'm still going to do IT no problem is because it's straight.

没有, and I really .

just don't like me. I say another cool thing about this is that if you open IT regularly, you scored IT out in like a tube shape. But if you just open the top, IT is star decoration shape.

This is.

So what you can do IT .

on the cake. What would you need .

that for decoration for?

Can decorate with me.

Wait there. Is that like swedish fish cake?

Isn't there? I are .

you? No.

I ll take yours for you if you should. No, I am not .

forcing .

my boss to use something that doesn't.

Or two is a doll up and dog.

I thought .

the same.

Go, you see, just a dog. A deb. I, T.

I know the last step.

D rather do have .

we all to .

you guys.

I was put on the button.

not get like that is pretty good, honestly. Smells like slant vineet .

check things don't like about mail because it's like all mass produced factory stuff. You know, it's not made with love.

Assume that mass produced.

you know, I one .

hundred, but it's but love.

But there are certainly ingredients of sandwich es, for example, that I like. What is a condemn? Basically, were eating contest. They never. And trip I would.

It's on the moon. I feel like.

like, like one of the most common, common over two years.

我 much Better than regular man.

from what I remember of mao in the past, that is Better than mail.

I still did not like .

getting IT alone. I didn't like getting alone. I also think for the sub enjoyers oil.

what why do you say that you can't have oil?

I don't you .

don't even need meat.

The fact that we always say warn mail and no one complain, and I think that speaks to volumes to how good that is.

You couldn't .

get me IT yeah.

but I look, next time I buy mail, never I will buy cupid mantes because this that seems great great engineering on the package um just one quick question. Uh, would you say that packaging of IT is separate and like an interesting way from other male packs? anyway?

Not when you're holding .

the one curous.

Curious yeah I before you hit that, I need to explain the logic of how this is technology plastic. This is just cool plastic ohh.

so it's not different than any other mao packaging. You would say you're .

not answering Michael.

You're not okay. So it's the same, right? Because I says easy squeers too there and I just .

feel like that might be a distinguishing future of.

well, no, if you're going to buzz this because it's well built, everyone else needs to be but that's .

totally fair, everyone.

and that I am .

going to win on .

technicalities OK time.

technology.

Now, the two way caps, innovative squeeze, zy, star shape.

japanese engineering and in american classic, this is like SONY. But but not.

Why is the log a baby .

freaking the door?

No, because the Q B brand is based on a line of dols from the thirties and forties .

that .

careful .

you all right again.

Thank you.

At first, that sounds like the friends.

A, C, D, C 吧。

Am I right?

Right.

right. Next up is another new face for power cast listeners. It's rich. Welcome, rich.

Late night, oh, yeah, china is welcome. There's a thing song, oh, baby, okay.

no thing songs over. But yes, welcome to the pod. rich. Okay, well, I see every backpack.

Is the item, the backpack, or is IT inside the backpack? It's inside the backend. Show us what you bridge.

Well, my friends, I would like to preface, this is .

something .

we all love.

sure. Yeah, we'll see that love.

Wow, no pressure .

ridge is familiar if he pulls out in an A I.

an area. Just ate a spoonful.

I cold across country .

before I .

had OK. Next best thing is an in our t shirt.

Okay, what's the menu?

Yes, absolutely.

But that IT is is just only attend of the menu. That's true. Is that that I mean.

there's secret the menu's .

is first and then there's the rest of the international menu, which is the stuff that you learn about after go for the first time that is also like to as much. Now yeah.

IT always goes, you're not california to go now you talk someone california. You're like, IT wasn't that good then the person california, bro, because you don't know about the thing .

and this is I from kal.

yeah you don't know about the thing that .

no one told you.

My waves. So I would .

like to know everyone's in in that. Okay.

double ble animal style animal rise with chop chilies on the burger.

So I recently swashed to one double, double animal style with chop chilis on the burger, a single cheeseburger with grow unions and an animal star rice. Lb.

I think once the same as else, but no tomato, because I hate tomatoes. I get a .

cheeseburgers with girl onions.

So you guys know you can get extra toppings. Yeah, but you know there's like no limit. Yes, no limit. So you like .

extra tell you.

no, no.

I think right right in high school and I was in band, we would stop IT in, IT out on the way to ban competitions. And as far, high school kids want to impress each other in the demonstrate possible and at in and now, at least at the time, I was one dollar, if per Patty, that you want to add extra. So kids would do like twenty by .

something .

as a twenty party burger.

Yes, twenty clothes of cheese. yeah.

And IT would just get obnoxious. And I think they might .

even posed a limit, but i'm not sure.

I mean, if you don't .

know by twenty, that's what's your IT depends on mood rate. So double, double, extra, extra grow onions, extra row onions. Oh.

I do love our onions. And then .

animal style fries, two packets spread .

is the read packets? yeah. And you gonna ad after, look very nice. That is.

what mood was that for? That's my regular order. Usually I will swap out for protein stuff from china. Little help.

What if they're angry?

Four, four.

four, four. After a good work out? Yeah, I have guess for everyone.

Oh yes, you trying to win us over some?

Absolutely o rich, I brought .

stickers, everyone from and now if there's anything that you like and that is not here, I will bring you for you next time.

Wow, wow. I recently .

became. So I have a lot about covering stakers. And I recently ran out of room on the water bottle for stickers OK.

And I was in australia and I got a sticker. And for the first time, I just overlapped the sticker and just put IT right on top of two other stickers. And that has just opened the door for a tonn of new sticker placed on my water bottle. So this is this one right here is going on my water bottle. Yeah, this is far .

and more years. Next time I go back to cell.

I don't know you can get, are they free?

And in our company store, balin park house.

we passed through there once was way to be petition.

So to be clear, the item representing is the .

t shirt yeah, but it's more, it's the five.

But the spirit of yeah is the food, the experience that stickers, the internal vives, the menu, think allowed .

them to be so quick, have no delay, not freeze there.

No, no, we're rich. And I know .

about the spend .

jackets. I just.

okay.

Rich, yes, this fantastic.

Thank very much. That will influence. Oh, I would like that. I would like to buy you on now, next time that you .

don't need to do that.

Infect everyone should .

know that if you noticed in the past few months that the studio channel looks really good, is shot with an artistic touch.

No, thank you. That's rich. Mean.

guys, you guys awesome jobs. We're a good time. It's a lot cool.

Thank very much. Thank you.

Thank you, rich.

I'm one.

Without further to do, I would like to welcome studio production, corda or news studio. I don't know what.

Producer, producer.

amazing soul. Harper.

oh .

my god.

I.

I will need to test this to confirm.

This.

I hope this not .

rip in the corner. This friend is incredible. What's going?

I was going to say, like, why do we need that camera to record? But now I like, no, actually that's the perfect camera .

I know doing so well.

I can't off .

their half way through ah oh.

my good is is .

expending you might have to .

pick IT up and lifted .

over I .

think theyve practice this morning, half of the office .

side I did.

I saw a moment .

when I was at my deck. Carper was like, miles, can I bar you? And I was like.

hope.

hold on. Just watched that camera right there. I can be yet .

to sit in IT where you're on the pot. Guest.

我是 学者。

right?

Opera, everybody.

Grew this entrance so far .

rame is great because I really like you .

like I just become .

we push your effort this .

frame has I lot ahead of room i'll say, um okay, harper, what you what did you bring to show us today? What is .

sorry that so I brought a love sac, which is basically like a giant being bag. But instead of beans, it's like cut of memory home. yeah.

So is IT made by the being fifty tools put up memory.

memory, phone. Interesting memory. I think .

that's what I will be honest. I've never cut open and look inside, but we bought this instead of a couch for our like gaming area and it's the best purchase. We've it's .

like of a gaming area.

I mean like where that I mean, you know where we put .

like gaming area.

where do you like put our x box.

but like yeah can do the asian also a play station .

um but like .

yeah no I I can transform us anything IT feels like you're sleeping a cloud and most of I mean anything I can trace web to a dinosaur. But like more importantly, uh, if it's not in the context of this room, you can like run and .

dive into and IT.

So oh yeah I mean I I look like .

I try so so it's .

kind of hard even for video listening to appreciate the size of this uh chair. It's really, I would say that I can tell how big .

a car I would to bring.

First of all, i'm just gonna blame Alice for me actually doing this. I said, this is a joke and he was like, but you should do that okay um I took um we have a shot back so we put IT into a vacuum field bag a shot back and then transported .

IT and then put the cup .

run that's impressed. I appreciate the dedication.

It's a shot.

A shot is like a vacuum .

back vacuum.

I also brought the shot back with me in my car, so I can also bring this up.

right? That's a good point. I see. I would have maybe had the first sight to, you know, put IT in that. And I never would have brought you here to forget IT back home.

Yeah, I was like, one of the odds that you actually bring us home tonight. I was like, hi, I think or maybe he becomes a part of the office or I get to convince you guys that we need this in the offer.

I would like to dive into IT.

IT may be stuck in this room.

sure. I would like to at least sit. Yeah, yeah. If I like, in order to I in together.

I would like to also looks .

like .

there's room IT. IT is made to .

be at .

least for two adults.

I will mention that I also have one .

of these, and IT .

is very comfortable. I do have one of them.

You do wait, really? Yes.

never discuss that. We.

I love sex. So our minds not nearly as big. But what I noticed about IT is if you sit in IT in the same way, over and over again, the memory phone kind of like piles into the corners of IT, and IT becomes like the shape of the person there are all the time.

So when I sit down, it's like IT doesn't move IT just like feels like a chair. But if ever want to like a restructure, I have to like shake IT out and like move IT around yeah like roled over. And then it's .

like what everyone ah like IT remakes itself into a giant pillow. I like cloud.

I do not have a dog. We did just washed .

this because we just moved um but yeah, this is the love sac. When we get IT out into like the office area. U S, take a running jump at IT.

Enjoy that will do.

I'll be honest. My two year old death also loves doing that.

I think that may be a universal uh, human experience, maybe even dogs too. I feel like anyone would enjoy running and jumping into this.

right? It's if you ever wanted jump into a pillow or to a cloud like this is what I assume with the closest experience.

I think the next way form studio will just be punch with microphone hanging from the aling you said .

earlier IT could turn into anything I didn't mean .

I can let me let me like add attendance to that. I'm worse meant like you could shape IT around yourself in anyways that if you wanted to take a nap IT great. If you want to, to sit in IT more like a chair.

you can if you wanted to sit IT and .

like a group. That sound, I would say, innovative. I don't know about that. I think more so just like it's like clay is clay innovative? Clay is one the most ancient materials .

that's a great that's .

a great deflection. Yeah yeah okay. It's like clay multimodal exactly.

I don't think innovative.

I think .

funny because love does make a touch of the speaker .

pretty my host because i'm trying to come .

with that and night yeah .

like clean .

x yeah sack is like that yeah has like subfertile of the legs. The so yeah.

they got popular with this, but now they make couches that fairly popular and supervision and have speakers.

And I also to do copies of brand. I thought I was just the .

style of mali like eight mail.

Was me that not getting my vote.

your dish, but I did.

Do IT speak at which guys? I think IT is time.

you guess. So I want to leave .

this in here. You could enjoy IT. Well.

I leave. Mean, if someone who's now got in and of twice today, we're gona leave IT IT here. great.

I love. I start the second out of breath because of that, too.

Okay, thank you very much. yes.

Thank you. All .

right, friends.

how to be mean time? My guess is immediately .

going into the go on you to wait.

Oh, I thought you had come on like you wanted us to join you.

So come .

the warm.

okay. So I think to wrap this episode b, the four of us should vote on, or should we collaborate on who we think is the collective winner? Or should we all write IT down on the road?

And so what what is like? What are we voting on?

I think the vote should be the ratio of like the most impressive of like I might want to use that thing. Slash IT gets points deducted for every step closer to being technological .

that IT is.

I think that's the easiest way. I guess like I I see your point as you brought in something extremely niche. So did tim yeah was a very dish product.

even like.

don't ay for me.

it's true. I don't think that I should be based on whether we would use.

I think I OK to be.

How useful is IT live in the moment?

Even has technology live in the head space of .

who I would like to give my vote for best, best bring. I'm not the way the world.

Well, I think I think i'm going to have .

to go with Brandon, you know, honor man, eric, that was the highlight of my morning so far quickly. But now I disabled you about and we're done with that. It's Alice is turning, baby. In fact, I do this to you trip.

Welcome to.

My kingdom um yeah I like branded I I really liked how like a refresher .

no book .

like .

you had .

the whole ten my notes here .

yeah would like I .

would like a two word, a name for each of them and miles had three words, ready yeah.

Tim foot thing. Then brand a maria .

foot .

thing. Geno, sticking sticks.

sticky stick.

long sticks.

orange ball. I think basketball is one work. Miles, not that .

goes not is eric.

T B. Mail, rich, best, burger, harbor, love, sac. O K.

I .

would say I if rich people, especially ago, but I think the t shirt aspect of IT, while the bribes helped.

like the thing that makes me happy that's not tech, is in and out.

I really get that spirit of and now is still strong enough to almost be at the top my list, but I don't think .

I can give you out with my vote is to jonas stick stick, sticky stick. Because IT is something that he uses very frequently. That is not something that everyone has.

So it's useful and it's not technology and is with the exception, maybe Andrews.

Yeah, why?

Yeah I don't think I will say I do think, David camera not only was like the most interesting thing, even as someone who doesn't use cameras, but I was expecting to buzz a bunch of times and they never got at that point. So I was impressed by that aspect, whether that means is the winner or not. I think IT was really cool and I was so ready to bust the hell out of you. But he expects .

the .

perfect camera to do the .

higher he in my head. I'm considering is i'm trying to guess how often each person use is the thing that they presented. And I think the top of the list, aside from the weights, is possibly miles.

possibly Andrews .

pan and possibly harper's love sex yeah the .

user yeah it's kind of hard not to go .

for the love sacu is super .

comfortable yeah.

So that's that's what my head is that and obviously not being tech. I think those you know.

do you use those weight a lot?

My most likely buy would be the weights or the love suck.

I think I am yeah .

probably going to eventually .

by those .

rich rich and harper are the two that we all mentioned as like, no, you know no.

I think decide jona .

is my personal winner. I think jono I I would .

feel comfortable giving as a jono is it's useful. It's definitively not tech street printed cook.

Here's my thing. Here's my thing, right? right? As much as you know, I would love to win what my camera is.

The thing that I do, right johna. The thing that he does is the frisbee. But this is an accessory that he uses a lot and is new technological. I think that there is something to that works like it's an optional accessories that is very interesting and cool um and it's not the main thing because you know in road in the lcross c, that's the thing to route in the climbing shoes. It's not really it's kind of no.

Hey, italian, from decoder with the laptop. We spent a lot of time talking about some of the most important people in taking business about what they're putting resources to and why do they think it's so critical for the future. That's why we're doing this special series, diving into some of the most unique ways companies are spending money today.

For instance, what does that mean to start buying and using A I at work? How much is that costing companies? What part are they buying? And most importantly, what are they doing with IT and of course, podcasts? Yes, the thing you're listening to right now, well, it's increasingly being produced directly by companies like venture capital firms, investment funds and a new crop of creators who one day want to be investors themselves.

And what is actually going on with these acquisitions this year, especially in the A I space, why are so many big players in tech deciding not to acquire and instead license that can hire away cofounder? The answer, IT turns out, is a lot more complicated than that seems. You'll hear all that and more this month on decoder with the lie presented by strike.
