That's our website at weeklylaunch.rocks.
14
00:01:34.219 --> 00:01:35.259
Well, Andrews,
15
00:01:35.500 --> 00:01:36.460
this week, I thought...
16
00:01:37.415 --> 00:01:40.615
We've talked about this briefly on the show, maybe mentioned it. Yeah.
17
00:01:41.015 --> 00:01:41.655
But
18
00:01:41.975 --> 00:01:43.174
in my presence
19
00:01:44.135 --> 00:01:47.975
is a mutant with superhuman powers. I'm a mutant. Jeez.
20
00:01:48.215 --> 00:01:59.610
Well, clearly, you DNA muted muted at some point. I don't know. Andrew's has, and I will confirm, what I think some would label as a sense of super smell. Okay. I mean, you called it my super sniffer
21
00:01:59.770 --> 00:02:12.545
Your super sniffer. Yeah. For a long time. Yeah. And, I mean, it's... I mean, you must have a few examples of times where you've sniffed out something that nobody else sniffs. Yes. That's gotta happen pretty often. It does. You could probably be a professional sniffer. Maybe.
22
00:02:12.785 --> 00:02:13.345
Yeah.
23
00:02:13.985 --> 00:02:27.080
Yeah. There's been a couple of things. Like, I I tend to know when something's going bad in the fridge Yeah. Or anywhere in the house. You know? When I worked at a medical supply job, a dentist moved in next door, and my boss was like, come in here. Do you smell gas?
24
00:02:27.480 --> 00:02:36.760
You know? Sniff this out for me. Yeah. But I don't know. It it actually... It... It's not as good as you'd think. One thing I would question is whether or not I can taste
25
00:02:37.605 --> 00:02:47.205
more. I noticed when I was looking it up, that seems to be a very common Is it? Thing. Yeah. I mean, I don't know because I Yeah. Medically known as hyper... What... Oh, my cursor's in way. Hyperosmia?
26
00:02:47.205 --> 00:02:48.005
Hyperosmia
27
00:02:48.005 --> 00:02:55.600
with super smellers, and they often have a heightened sense of taste too. Oh, okay. Yeah. Cool. Yeah. Relatively rare. Mhmm. They don't know much about the condition.
28
00:02:56.000 --> 00:03:02.960
One thing that does seem to be kind of a common story amongst the female population is during or after pregnancy.
29
00:03:03.440 --> 00:03:09.735
Oh. You remember it getting stronger? No? I mean, well, yes. It did get stronger, but I already had a strong
30
00:03:10.215 --> 00:03:21.120
sense. But what was I gonna say? Oh, yeah. It's it's detrimental too, though, because, like, I I I am very sensitive to smells. Like, not just because I can smell them strongly Perfumes or a candle. Ones,
31
00:03:21.680 --> 00:03:24.560
yeah, trigger it like I have an allergy to scents.
32
00:03:24.960 --> 00:03:30.880
And I get... The best example that I don't think I shared yet on this on this show was that
33
00:03:31.305 --> 00:03:42.745
I I I... We we used to do wood wick candles Yeah. All the time. Yeah. Yeah. They smelled so good. Typically, vanilla cookie. And it sounded cool too. Sounded It was wood. So cool. Yeah. The wick was wood. What were they made out of, though?
34
00:03:43.480 --> 00:03:53.000
Well, so that's... I think it's soy wax. I think that is the problem. Probably. Is the soy in it is irritating to me. But I I stopped doing candles altogether, and I thought I'll do something natural.
35
00:03:53.320 --> 00:04:04.275
So I got orange peel and cinnamon stick and cloves. Uh-huh. And one other thing that I can't think of right now, and I put it on the stove in some water, and I thought, I'll just boil this. Mhmm. And
36
00:04:04.595 --> 00:04:05.315
no.
37
00:04:05.555 --> 00:04:24.820
I was face down on the couch with a migraine. Woah. It was so bad. And then side note, Chris thought I hated him, but... Because every time I... Every time he came around, I was in a bad mood. But it's because his particular cologne really agitating Colognes are always... Yeah. Would give me an instant headache. Mhmm. So it's hard to be out in public,
38
00:04:24.980 --> 00:04:47.830
and and cigarette smoke is another one that just makes me so angry. Somebody needs to invent, like, a low key nose filter that isn't, like, really Right. You can just put in there and just filter out stuff. That would... I I bet that exists. Maybe. Oh, wow. But, anyway, yeah, certain smells really get to me really bad. Yeah. I get rashes always good. It's not always good to have a superpower. No. Mm-mm. Yeah.
39
00:04:48.230 --> 00:04:50.550
Yeah. Because sometimes, like, there's some things with ADHD,
40
00:04:50.550 --> 00:05:05.275
especially with focus, that are kind of a superpower, but can also be very detrimental. Mhmm. So it's sort of like a double edged sword. Yeah. I don't think it's a superpower, but I definitely have... Like I've mentioned before, like, spider dar is always a weird thing that... I think because I grew up in houses that had a lot of big wolf spiders. Yep. So I sort of
41
00:05:05.595 --> 00:05:12.130
woke up to spiders a lot, and then you sort of train yourself to, boop, zero right in. Mhmm. But... Okay. Here's my question to the audience.
42
00:05:12.690 --> 00:05:23.865
What kind of everyday superpower do you have? You know, it doesn't have to be like X Men. Doesn't have to always have to be a good thing either. But, like, do you have a... Yeah. I have another superpower. Okay. Figuring out what I'm getting
43
00:05:24.265 --> 00:05:33.705
for the holidays. Yeah. You do. That is a weird one. And That's a weird one. You got bit by that so many Every year almost. Almost. Almost. And then the craziest ways.
44
00:05:34.025 --> 00:05:36.905
Like Yeah. It was always Scenarios I could never have foreseen.
45
00:05:37.410 --> 00:05:43.250
It's so ridiculous. Precautions taken that would accommodate for the previous scenarios, but don't accommodate for... Yeah. Yep.
46
00:05:43.490 --> 00:05:46.690
Yeah. Ridiculous. Sorry. That's another superpower that I have. Alright.
47
00:05:47.090 --> 00:05:49.490
So boost in and let us know your superpower.
48
00:05:49.490 --> 00:05:51.805
It's your time to shine.
49
00:05:52.044 --> 00:05:56.685
Boost from the web. Keep the show alive with Fiat,
50
00:05:56.685 --> 00:05:58.205
fun coupons,
51
00:05:58.205 --> 00:05:59.565

Boost.jupiterbroadcasting.com.
53
00:06:03.725 --> 00:06:10.370
Could be could be ordinary. It's like my grandpa, he had a lot of talents. But just like an ordinary everyday superpower that he had,
54
00:06:10.770 --> 00:06:17.730
he could almost read a whole book in a night. Yeah. That's crazy. He would go down to the library Yeah. For the week and get a whole
55
00:06:18.605 --> 00:06:24.285
bag Which bag? Full of books. Fitzpatrick. Oh. A whole bag. And he would stay up late. He didn't sleep much,
56
00:06:24.365 --> 00:06:33.645
and he would just... And they're usually, like, you know, detective novels. Mhmm. And so about once every Saturday, he'd go and refresh his stock of, like, a dozen. I mean, was crazy. He could burn through a book.
57
00:06:49.425 --> 00:06:50.625
And California.
58
00:06:50.625 --> 00:06:53.104
Private talk means everyone's okay.
59
00:06:54.465 --> 00:06:58.544
A blinking little light ain't consent at the end of the day.
60
00:07:04.110 --> 00:07:31.514
Just a few days ago, Amazon relaunched an AI focused product that they call the Bee. Mhmm. And I'm not so sure the world is ready for it. Welcome back to The Exchange. Hot on the heels of Meta's smart glasses and the Muse charm, Amazon is releasing some new personal AI devices. One's called the Bee. Kate Rooney has more in today's tech check. Kate? Hey, Kate. Hey, Kelly. So Amazon is taking a step beyond Alexa and devices. It's trying to bring AI assistance
61
00:07:31.720 --> 00:07:33.960
more into your everyday conversation.
62
00:07:33.960 --> 00:07:40.040
So the tech giant unveiling two new devices from its b brand. This is including a 75
63
00:07:40.040 --> 00:07:55.225
wearable bracelet, and then there is a $100 sort of credit card sized device that snaps onto your smartphone. Amazon acquired the company behind these always on listening bracelets last year. They are equipped with microphones. They can record and transcribe and then analyze
64
00:07:55.305 --> 00:08:11.310
conversations using AI. Both do use AI to record and then transcribe, summarize conversations. So that is supposed to help users remember what was said and sort of act as as an assistant there. Amazon does say it can also track things like to do lists, make shopping recommendations,
65
00:08:11.310 --> 00:08:12.430
and then unlike Alexa,
66
00:08:12.835 --> 00:08:25.555
which waits for a wake word, these devices are designed to just record continuously when they are turned on. It is raising some questions about privacy, but Amazon says audio is not gonna be stored and users can delete their transcripts.
67
00:08:26.020 --> 00:08:49.875
And then there's also an indicator light that shows when it's actually recording and when that's active. So the launch does come as Amazon. Alright. So we got a $75 wearable that's available today. If you go to amazon.com, you'll probably see it like Ange did. Yep. It's about like a Fitbit, like an old Fitbit. Yeah. Well... And, unfortunately, it's silicone. You can't... I can't wear that. Yeah. That's gonna be... That's gonna cause a lot You'll have to get the one that uses MagSafe to snap to the back of your phone. Well, no.
68
00:08:50.995 --> 00:09:01.690
Like, I don't... I wouldn't do that either. I don't do magnets. The phone is bad on its own. I'm thinking it's worse. Yeah. So it's got this little thing. This little Fitbit thing's got two microphones
69
00:09:01.850 --> 00:09:08.585
and a little physical action button with a little LED on there. You pair it with your phone. It talks over Bluetooth low energy.
70
00:09:08.745 --> 00:09:21.944
You can also have it pull in your contacts in your calendar so it has a better understanding of who you're talking to. And then it includes a little chat app where you can chat about your history. So this is the Amazon b. They bought a San Francisco AI startup in July 2025,
71
00:09:22.960 --> 00:09:32.160
and they were originally trying to go for a $50 price. Amazon's up to just a little bit. So in October of this year, the fifteenth, just a couple days ago, they introduced two devices.
72
00:09:32.800 --> 00:09:41.475
And the wristband is one thing, then, like, the b Eclipse is the one that attaches to the back of your phone. Mhmm. So the the Fitbit one lasts
73
00:09:41.795 --> 00:09:49.635
somewhere between four to seven days, and the one on the back of the phone lasts somewhere almost twenty one days and comes with more microphones, but it's not available yet. Mhmm.
74
00:09:50.130 --> 00:10:09.285
And like you heard in the clip, it's always listening when you turn it on. It then transcribes everything. It tries to suggest to dos based on things that you've maybe promised to someone or discussed. Mhmm. It resurfaces daily memory digest to help you remember what's happened. It'll integrate with your Gmail, so it can watch all your emails, your Outlooks, your health kits, your photos.
75
00:10:09.445 --> 00:10:37.595
And then there's a desktop app as well. So the idea is is that you stay present during a meeting or conversation with someone, and then later on, you go back to your phone. You say, okay. What did we talk about? What did I commit to? What were the requirements? Right. This is what, like, they're using in health care right now to to do chart notes and such. And this is everybody just walking around, could be recording. No. This is crazy. I could see my boyfriend Remy thinking that it'd be good and be like, remember that conversation that we had? You said this. Yeah. That kind of thing. Yeah. Yeah. To prove. But
76
00:10:38.075 --> 00:10:40.635
but, you know, it'll probably say he was wrong.
77
00:10:42.940 --> 00:10:50.860
I don't know. Yeah. This is weird. Because it's like you're making a choice. You're opting in when you hit that button, but not necessarily everyone around you is.
78
00:10:51.260 --> 00:11:06.115
Yeah. I wonder how that would do in crowds or, like, karaoke night. So from the reviews I watched before the show, it seems like when you're at a bar or a crowd, it does pretty bad. Oh, okay. It has a hard time distinguishing what's going on. Yeah. As it should. In a way, that's almost some opsec there. Right? But
79
00:11:06.275 --> 00:11:11.290
when you're, like, in a meeting or a one on one or maybe at a restaurant where it's not too loud, it does pretty good.
80
00:11:11.690 --> 00:11:18.329
And then you're also pulling in, like, your calendar and Gmail events. They say no raw raw audio is stored once it's been transcribed
81
00:11:18.490 --> 00:11:30.915
and that they're using, like, the Amazon Secure Compute Enclave to do some of this. Oh, so the output is just text. That you get. They process the audio. Don't think so. The audio again. I see. Interesting.
82
00:11:31.475 --> 00:11:32.435
But AI
83
00:11:32.675 --> 00:12:03.525
is being used to transcribe it. So they're getting the audio at that point, then transcribing it, and then figuring out what to do based on that. But they don't really disclose, like, what AI models they're using or what the back end is exactly. Mhmm. So that's a bit weird. Yeah. I just don't think the world wants this yet, and I'm surprised companies like Amazon are pushing on this kind of stuff. I I would have expected this maybe coming from Apple now that they're gonna be like They have it in the Apple Watch now, in the new Apple Watch. They have this feature. I see. This is starting to... But Apple's like claim it's all local yada yada yada. Yeah. But I don't think the world... I I mean, maybe in five years,
84
00:12:04.085 --> 00:12:09.380
maybe people would be in a different space. But the idea that you're walking around with a surveillance device
85
00:12:10.100 --> 00:12:23.875
is... It's fine for you, but it's not really fine for everybody else. And for somebody like myself, if I was ever gonna use something like this, I would wanna tie it to my own agent, which is using the AI system I choose, which could be local or could be a secure provider.
86
00:12:24.355 --> 00:12:35.235
I don't wanna just send it off to Amazon. Mhmm. I don't I I don't want... And I don't want 15 different AI assistants. I don't want a different AI chat app when I'm already using this chat app over here. I don't wanna have to have a separate one for
87
00:12:36.010 --> 00:12:59.125
These are these are, like, islands. I I just wanna be able to get it in one spot. And I want it to be safe and secure, and I don't want it to be on the cloud. Interesting. Okay. Well, yeah. I agree with you on the cloud thing, but I'm using, you know, chat GPT Gemini. Yeah. There are There is nice... Yeah. There are times some divisions Yeah. But I get what you're saying. But, like, this is just just a one off. It's just for, like, asking about your day summaries and digests. Mhmm.
88
00:12:59.730 --> 00:13:29.394
Feels like it could be a connector in any other AI chat. I don't know. And then, of course, there's the Amazon shopping connection here. Oh, yes. Listening for things you might mention that you're running low on. Yep. Which I... Which in the bathroom would be useful. Boilet paper. Yeah. Right. And you just say that. So what did the reviews say is where you really make this thing useful is if you just get a practice of saying crap out loud that you need to remember. Right. And so if you just say, I need to buy toilet paper, it'll cap... It'll capture that. Yep. But you have to be really explicit like that. Mhmm. And that seems to be as good as it gets.
89
00:13:30.230 --> 00:13:46.645
And I don't know if you recall, but for ten minutes, Amazon had these little buttons you could buy. And it was a... We didn't really use them, but they were dedicated buttons, and you'd press it, and all it would do was, like, order more detergent. Oh, yeah. Remember those? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And then people are cool because people hacked them and got them to all kinds of stuff. Yeah.
90
00:13:46.885 --> 00:13:48.965
That's a way better idea than this. Mhmm.
91
00:13:49.524 --> 00:13:53.365
Way better. Yes. I don't know why they don't do that. Right. Don't do this. Yes.
92
00:13:53.685 --> 00:14:00.680
And it's like, if this didn't work with the Echo, why is it gonna work with this? Mhmm. And it's gonna be a, by the way, you could buy this now all the time.
93
00:14:01.160 --> 00:14:01.640
So
94
00:14:02.040 --> 00:14:07.800
the other kind of interesting aspect, like you mentioned, is other companies are doing this, Apple Mhmm. In, like, their $700 watch.
95
00:14:08.199 --> 00:14:24.454
There's a human pin... AI pin. It's called the human AI pin. Same kind of concept. You put the pin on your, you know, your lapel or whatever the hell you call it. And it's doing the same thing. $700, but it was doing the same idea. Jeez. The Rabbit r one was an early version of this that kinda failed. Meta has the glasses that kinda do something that can do something like this.
96
00:14:25.209 --> 00:14:30.330
Yeah. The thing about the glasses, though, is that it's also recording or could record video.
97
00:14:30.730 --> 00:14:35.130
You know? We had somebody at a karaoke night that was wearing them. Oh, really? And it's like
98
00:14:35.769 --> 00:14:41.925
People don't like that. No. I know. And there's... That's why I say it's too soon. Mhmm. It's too soon for this stuff
99
00:14:42.245 --> 00:14:56.230
because we haven't solved a lot of these privacy architecture problems that then have been normalized in a social way. You know? People are really freaked out right now about AI, and this is, like, the worst version of it in their opinion. And this is the products they're leading with. Yeah. It just seems so dumb. And
100
00:14:56.630 --> 00:15:01.029
what is the end game here? Like, is Amazon gonna have a whole bunch of different, like, sort of semi connected
101
00:15:01.670 --> 00:15:20.589
echo ecosystem? Who wants that? Yeah. It is a lot of data, and this is, like Yeah. Is. Industry is facing right now is it's recording a ton, but is it processing it? Is it actually utilizing it? Are they also getting location data from the phone? Yeah. And then who are they selling it to? What are they mining from it? Because it's more than just product suggestions.
102
00:15:20.910 --> 00:15:25.070
I guarantee it. Like Wes is saying in the chat room too, it's a... It's an example of another miss
103
00:15:25.389 --> 00:15:26.670
where they could get me
104
00:15:27.070 --> 00:15:28.029
$55,
105
00:15:28.029 --> 00:15:46.495
$60 device that's kind of like a Star Trek combatge that I, again, connect to my own AI of choice. Mhmm. And then it's just a quick way to do voice chat with an AI. Yeah. But that's useful, but I don't want them to be the AI system, and I don't want it running all the time. And it doesn't need to have seven days of battery life because it doesn't need to be running all the time. Right. Yeah.
106
00:15:46.655 --> 00:15:47.615
So it got me thinking,
107
00:15:48.399 --> 00:15:49.520
with the glasses,
108
00:15:50.080 --> 00:15:59.920
and there's a category of these wearables that are recording all the time, we're probably gonna see a a a response to this in a new category of defense devices
109
00:16:00.255 --> 00:16:09.375
that try to defeat these monitoring devices. Scramblers? Yeah. Mhmm. And so I did a little digging. 1984 stuff. I'm calling this category the bracelet of silence,
110
00:16:09.615 --> 00:16:15.375
and there are several of them out there, wearable microphone jamming bracelets. None of them that are mass production right now.
111
00:16:16.050 --> 00:16:26.290
One of them though is roughly $20 in part and was put together by a university. And I'll link to this YouTube video in the show notes. And this is them demonstrating it a little bit in a video.
112
00:16:26.850 --> 00:16:30.450
So how does it work? I can tell you how it works, but it's confidential.
113
00:16:31.145 --> 00:16:33.785
So she turns the bracelet on that she's wearing. It's
114
00:16:34.425 --> 00:16:36.025
it's huge. Yeah. It is huge.
115
00:16:37.225 --> 00:16:40.985
But now now the camera microphone can't pick up anything. Wow.
116
00:16:41.305 --> 00:16:42.505
And they can still hear each other.
117
00:16:43.480 --> 00:16:47.480
Yeah. And it... So he has, like, the, like, the DJI lapel style microphone,
118
00:16:47.480 --> 00:16:51.320
and he has a wearable microphone, and they tested in the Alexa. It's...
119
00:16:55.000 --> 00:17:01.235
There you go. That's how they do it. And it it is a wild looking thing. I will admit, it's...
120
00:17:01.475 --> 00:17:20.399
It kinda looks like something out of a sci fi show because it got a ton of ultrasonic speakers all over it. Mhmm. But you could maybe make a smaller version of this. It's 24 of them, little transducers arranged in a ring layout. Mhmm. They emit an inaudible frequency that ultrasonic signals around 24 to sixties... Or 24 to 26 kilohertz,
121
00:17:20.880 --> 00:17:23.465
generally not audible to human ears. Mhmm.
122
00:17:23.545 --> 00:17:27.705
Dogs might occasionally hear them. Some humans might occasionally hear them. $20 in parts.
123
00:17:28.025 --> 00:17:28.825
Crazy.
124
00:17:28.985 --> 00:18:12.210
So if you could get this down a little more refined, and maybe it's $80 in parts to make it a little... I I think that and things to jam cameras, how... Maybe LED hats and stuff like that, that's gonna be a whole new line of clothing if people are gonna be walking around recording all the time. Just find that to be, I don't know, an interesting kind of backlash, and somebody will come along and make a real nice slim device out of that because you can't... I mean, that thing, you'd be be be bumping into stuff. Right? Yeah. No. Like, you're gonna hold it between the two. Like, a... Yeah. Let's talk now. So in the research I was doing too, actually, moving your hand around a little bit with it improves its effectiveness for some reason. Like, it messes with the Good thing I talk with my hands. Yeah. Right. So if you're a hand speaker... Yeah. Like, it bounces the frequencies around, and it makes it even more effective. Who knew? You know? Who knew? So there you go. I wanna hear your thoughts on the b.
125
00:18:12.865 --> 00:18:38.230
If there was a version of this that you would be comfortable with, boost it and tell me or leave us a voice mail. What is that version? What is the line that has to be changed for you to be comfortable with a device like this that's always listening? Because there is... For somebody like myself that has a really bad memory, there's obviously some usefulness there. Mhmm. You could obviously use that, but just... It's too creepy. Now's the time. It's the song of the week. Remember, you can boost the track.
126
00:18:38.550 --> 00:18:39.510
They sure like that.
127
00:18:40.435 --> 00:18:45.235
Alright. Our song this week is a classic by the Dorfels. It is Disco Swipe.
128
00:19:21.585 --> 00:19:23.570
Make the first move,
129
00:19:23.730 --> 00:19:25.809
but it's different
130
00:19:25.890 --> 00:19:26.530
with you.
131
00:21:31.575 --> 00:21:36.455
Well, I'm just gonna make a quick call to my lunch. I haven't checked in since yesterday.
132
00:21:36.935 --> 00:21:38.455
(774)
133
00:21:38.455 --> 00:21:41.655
462-5667.
134
00:21:41.655 --> 00:21:44.455
That's it. Alright. (774)
135
00:21:44.455 --> 00:21:47.570
462-5667.
136
00:21:47.730 --> 00:21:51.729
Call now. Well, we got a few calls here, Andrew. Mhmm.
137
00:21:51.809 --> 00:21:55.889
The first call is from IR Joe, and he's not just in Michigan.
138
00:21:56.289 --> 00:22:00.529
He's in Mid Michigan. Hi, Chris and Angela. This is IR Joe from Mid Michigan.
139
00:22:01.015 --> 00:22:05.014
I just wanted to call and tell you that you definitely need an audible,
140
00:22:05.655 --> 00:22:06.534
more loud
141
00:22:06.855 --> 00:22:08.294
call for the chicken.
142
00:22:08.695 --> 00:22:21.349
Mine have learned that when I come out hollering cluck cluck cluck, they all come running. That's funny. That's something you can holler way down towards the field, I think. Even an air horn, they get used to hearing it, they'll come and run it.
143
00:22:22.230 --> 00:22:48.869
Anyway, I'm sorry to hear about chicken loss, and I love hearing about the stories of other people's chickens. Thanks again. Bye. Thanks, Joe. Yeah. So when my wife, Adia, calls for them, she has, like, this chicken's cluck cluck. And it's really high pitched. Mhmm. That usually gets them. There's a couple of stinkers. Yeah. Well, but you don't have that voice. I can't hit it. Yeah. And they don't care. Yeah. I do sometimes. I can shake, like, the oat canister, the oats. Uh-huh. But they're too far away for that. Little stickers. Yeah. It doesn't travel. And then there's Blue.
144
00:22:49.429 --> 00:23:00.735
Blue likes to linger. You know? Joe's back again. Hey, Chris and Angela. IR Joe again Hey, Joe. At Michigan. I just wanted to suggest you could always look into an air cannon.
145
00:23:00.815 --> 00:23:06.575
That's what they use on airfields to scare away birds. Interesting. Hook it up to your old
146
00:23:07.215 --> 00:23:10.815
system there and have it automatically go off whenever a coyote is detected.
147
00:23:11.260 --> 00:23:14.539
They will pretty soon learn that they don't wanna be around that area.
148
00:23:14.860 --> 00:23:22.299
Talk to you later. That's it. Bye. I will admit nobody has suggested an air cannon to me. Yeah. That's a new one. And then Where do get these air cannons? So...
149
00:23:23.485 --> 00:23:34.764
Oh my gosh. Magnolia Mayhem Yeah. Has said air tag necklace, and then you can just run them down. Right. But but that gives me a thought. Like, what if you get, like, some, you know, not great meat?
150
00:23:35.005 --> 00:23:49.720
Put an air tag in there. Leave it out for the coyotes, and then see where the den is. I think we... So we brought we brought, like, a local wildlife expert on. I think he figured out, like, the guy's just, like, tuned into the land. It's crazy. He's like, oh, yeah. There's that, there's that. So we'll see. We'll see
151
00:23:50.615 --> 00:23:57.015
more on that. But, yeah, we're still sad about the chick. They were just such good birds. They were such... So it's now... It's like when you go to do the chicken count
152
00:23:57.415 --> 00:24:05.390
Yeah. You know, you go, okay. Okay. That's really... Eight. Nope. Minus two. Okay. Yep. That's right. Yeah. It's that's that's the method. Oh, how's the incubation
153
00:24:05.390 --> 00:24:17.870
going? I think we're... We'll know by Friday if any of them took. Nice. But Can you do a flashlight method to see if there's... Okay. Yeah. Yeah. In fact, the little incubator thing comes with a super bright LED to put the egg right on top of.
154
00:24:19.015 --> 00:24:31.415
So we're we're waiting to see. We're waiting to see. Yay. Yeah. But, you know, so far steady. Well well, incubator seems to be doing its job. Cameron calls in. I think he's talking about chickens too. Take it away, Cameron. Hey, launch crew. This is Cameron Owens,
155
00:24:31.789 --> 00:24:34.989
first time caller, longtime listener calling in from
156
00:24:35.390 --> 00:24:39.149
Bastrop, Texas. Hey. It's a suburb just outside of Austin.
157
00:24:39.390 --> 00:24:48.595
Regarding your coyote problem, I've been meaning to call in for probably a couple months ever since you got chickens. He could have saved the chickens. A recommendation
158
00:24:48.595 --> 00:24:56.275
for how best to keep your chickens safe if you're going to let them free range. Alright. I've got a 15 acre hobby farm.
159
00:24:56.595 --> 00:24:59.955
And so what we use are what are called livestock
160
00:24:59.955 --> 00:25:01.075
guardian dogs.
161
00:25:01.470 --> 00:25:04.350
Mhmm. Specifically here in Texas,
162
00:25:04.750 --> 00:25:10.510
great pyrenees are used a lot. Been reading that. These are breeds of dogs specifically
163
00:25:10.510 --> 00:25:14.509
bred for, as the name suggests, protecting livestock.
164
00:25:14.590 --> 00:25:15.549
Everything from
165
00:25:15.955 --> 00:25:18.995
chickens to goats to even cattle.
166
00:25:19.315 --> 00:25:28.675
The Great Pier is pretty popular just because it's a very robust breed of dog. It's got a great coat that keeps it very warm
167
00:25:28.890 --> 00:25:33.289
extreme cold temperatures as well as extreme warm temperatures.
168
00:25:33.530 --> 00:25:36.330
Hence, they're popular here in Central Texas.
169
00:25:36.810 --> 00:25:40.169
They have the temperament around humans
170
00:25:40.730 --> 00:25:51.325
of what I would say close to, like, like a Labrador. Oh. Super sweet, super friendly. I've never seen one ever be aggressive to a human ever.
171
00:25:51.805 --> 00:25:52.524
However,
172
00:25:53.085 --> 00:25:54.764
and this is a big however,
173
00:25:55.005 --> 00:25:56.605
when there is a predator
174
00:25:57.030 --> 00:25:58.470
such as a coyote,
175
00:25:58.630 --> 00:26:00.070
unwanted dog,
176
00:26:00.550 --> 00:26:02.230
even predatory
177
00:26:02.790 --> 00:26:07.510
aerial predators such as hawks and figs Mhmm. They will go John Wick
178
00:26:07.590 --> 00:26:09.190
on them. It's
179
00:26:09.190 --> 00:26:14.995
not uncommon for there to be stories of Great Pyrenees killing multiple
180
00:26:14.995 --> 00:26:15.875
coyotes
181
00:26:16.035 --> 00:26:17.554
Oh. In a single night.
182
00:26:17.955 --> 00:26:20.035
I think one of the most famous stories
183
00:26:20.595 --> 00:26:37.110
Oh, cut off. You know, I've been... I have been reading this, and it feels like such a lifestyle commitment Mhmm. To get a dog, to protect the birds. Yeah. You know, that seems like a story. You know, the snake ate the... But... And then, like, what do I do if I go camping? Do I take this giant dog with me? Like, you guys taking the chickens?
184
00:26:37.670 --> 00:26:58.190
Well, no. But they got they got, like, feeders and a pen. Like, I don't know. It's a big lifestyle choice, but I have been reading that they are awesome at this job. Alright. He called back. Hey. This is Cameron Owens calling again. As I was talking about a... There's a great pier in the Ohio area, I believe, that killed 13 coyotes that were confirmed
185
00:26:58.430 --> 00:27:00.990
What a psycho. Single night. Wow.
186
00:27:01.230 --> 00:27:05.309
So it was celebrated enough that they gave the dog a parade.
187
00:27:05.630 --> 00:27:08.065
So, yeah, would would strongly recommend
188
00:27:08.065 --> 00:27:15.345
at looking at getting a livestock guardian. We have not had any losses of birds or anything
189
00:27:15.505 --> 00:27:17.025
since we've
190
00:27:17.025 --> 00:27:21.105
started using Great Pyrenees probably about seven years ago or so.
191
00:27:22.330 --> 00:27:25.690
There... We recently moved to a new farm area
192
00:27:26.250 --> 00:27:29.370
to establish a new farm. We would hear coyotes at night
193
00:27:29.610 --> 00:27:47.554
Mhmm. When we first moved there. I'll tell within about two months, we don't hear coyotes at all. Oh, wow. Just be aware though that with great peers, you'll want a GPS tracking collar because they're known to roam. Yep. And when I say roam, they can go multiple miles from home and So, then come
194
00:27:49.635 --> 00:28:33.950
yeah, to take a look at it. Thanks. Cheers. You know, Wes points out in the chat room, like, if I got a dog to protect my chickens, I gotta get more chickens. Mhmm. I don't think it would justify because I have more chickens. I mean, I might. There's a ratio, I'm sure. I'm, you know, I'm I'm I'm trying to prepare myself that none of these eggs will take. Mhmm. Mhmm. But then there's also a scenario where they all take. Right? And how many are in there? A dozen. Oh. Yeah. It's a full dozen. Yeah. We just took a whole dozen that we had had been saving and just put them all in there. Mhmm. So... Yeah. I don't know. I I am very... I love the idea of leaning into farm life and getting that dog, but, you know... And I could say, hey. At least I'm on a farm. Because I know, like, I saw in the chat room, like, farmers are are getting pissed off because people are, like, recruiting these dogs because there's a lot of coyotes out there, and then they end up getting rid of the dog. I don't know. But it is it is, Cameron, something that
195
00:28:34.534 --> 00:28:54.000
I just don't know. It's such a commitment to that lifestyle. And I like the idea of being able to, like... You know, we're gonna go to Texas for a week, and the wife and... Will be home in this scenario. But, like, if she'd gone with me, like, what do we do with the dog? Maybe maybe the kids take... I don't know. I just don't know. Alright. But but the topic of chicken... Chickens, we're not quite done with yet. City Penguin calls in not to talk about penguins,
196
00:28:54.160 --> 00:28:55.600
but to talk about chickens.
197
00:28:55.680 --> 00:29:00.160
Hello, Lodge Curry. This is LaSonia Penguin. I have not called in a while. It has been
198
00:29:00.560 --> 00:29:01.040
hectic.
199
00:29:01.435 --> 00:29:08.554
It is October 16 as I call, which is an important day for me not to bring the mood down. We had to put
200
00:29:08.955 --> 00:29:11.835
my dog down on October 2
201
00:29:11.915 --> 00:29:19.309
this year. That sucks. Two weeks ago today. Mhmm. Not a fun time. No. Not enjoyable at all. No. I wasn't... Not even in the
202
00:29:19.630 --> 00:29:28.510
the state when it happens. I was traveling for work, which is something extra. Yeah. But I don't wanna bring this down too hard. So instead, I'm gonna try and be positive.
203
00:29:29.275 --> 00:29:39.434
First thing, his name was Corvo, c o r v o. He was a goldendoodle. He was seven years old today, actually. He had two grandsons fighting for third, much like me, where you can hit the front.
204
00:29:40.075 --> 00:30:05.245
And I loved him like a, I'm sorry for language. I fucking love him so much. Mhmm. I have realized after the fact that I didn't have enough pictures. So to that point Oh. And make sure no one makes the same mistake I did, take pictures of your pets, people. Yeah. Like, every day. Like, every four seconds, take a picture, or how many pictures you think you want. If you think you need, like, 20, take 40. Mhmm. Double it, triple it, whatever. Because, unfortunately, we'll meet here, and that sucks because,
205
00:30:05.485 --> 00:30:06.925
you know, they're awesome.
206
00:30:07.325 --> 00:30:14.100
So to everyone who got pets, the chickens, the count, anything you consider a pet, by all means, Take a picture of them, because
207
00:30:14.420 --> 00:30:17.140
hot damn, they're adorable as shit, and I love them.
208
00:30:17.620 --> 00:30:36.024
And I think we should have like a a Pets of Jupiter broadcasting or something channel on nature. That's fun. Just post pet pictures. Yes. Who doesn't love happy pets? Alright. So That's a good... That's good advice. City penguin, you're gonna have to let us know if you get... When you're ready to get a new dog Mhmm. And send all the pictures.
209
00:30:36.265 --> 00:30:45.580
I do wish I had taken a few more more recent pictures of these chickens because a lot of our pictures when they were just a little bit younger and, know, they were, what, nine months old, so they were still growing quite a bit. Yeah. Alright.
210
00:30:45.740 --> 00:30:46.700
Magnolia
211
00:30:46.779 --> 00:30:55.260
wraps us up as our last caller for this episode. Take it away, Mayhem. So last week, I almost went into a tangent, then I stopped myself, but then I got an...
212
00:30:56.705 --> 00:30:59.105
Kinda got permission to go off on that tangent.
213
00:30:59.745 --> 00:31:08.065
So here I am now, but anyway, I was just talking about the issue with company is more the billionaires and people in the company, go figure, but
214
00:31:09.340 --> 00:31:11.499
I was gonna say that we
215
00:31:12.539 --> 00:31:14.219
had this system
216
00:31:14.460 --> 00:31:15.659
at the gates because
217
00:31:16.139 --> 00:31:19.019
docs have been, they get LPRs, and they'd rather not
218
00:31:19.419 --> 00:31:25.505
exist in any way, but instead of having a camera sitting there reading license plates, they had all the... Us cards...
219
00:31:25.825 --> 00:31:39.340
Every time a gate would come... A car would come through the gate, they would end this stupid little web app that was just... It was, like, five HTML forms, I think. There's, like, badge number, what gate you're at, and then, like, the license plate of the car or whatever.
220
00:31:39.740 --> 00:31:48.540
And it would take the comments and that off. Well, one day, I I open up this this little web app thing, and it just dumps the back end. It was just, like,
221
00:31:49.155 --> 00:31:51.715
thousands of lines of plain text Python,
222
00:31:51.715 --> 00:32:04.035
which is way more than I would have expected from just looking at at the HTML products. Clearly, there's a lot going on in the back, whatever. But I I, you know, obviously did the the only reasonable thing, you know, control a, control c, control v into a Word document print.
223
00:32:04.910 --> 00:32:07.309
Because my else would the guard check have my printer.
224
00:32:07.630 --> 00:32:15.150
And stuck that in a three ring binder, but there was one of the IT guys that I knew, and I just like, they have that on his desk, and that was fixed the next day. But there was
225
00:32:16.155 --> 00:32:39.179
something that I was gonna tie that back into the original story with. I don't remember. I got the moral complexity isn't always a good thing. I still think about that sometimes when I'm like, Well, they build something that's stupidly complex, you know, the metalocalypse motorcycle with sidecars and sidecars. But I think back to that sometimes. Like, maybe maybe complex isn't the best option. You might end up, you know, dumping the entire back end of Playtech somehow.
226
00:32:39.420 --> 00:32:53.455
But Alright. Thanks, Bam. Right there at the end. Don't forget the phone number is listed in the show notes. We wanna hear from you. Booster Gram. Andrews, we do have a couple of boosts to get to, and our first booster this week, and I think maybe the only one above 2,000 sats,
227
00:32:53.774 --> 00:32:56.334
is Turd Ferguson. Turd Ferguson.
228
00:32:56.575 --> 00:33:08.299
Looking at the new Apple Home View, I was disappointed it doesn't have a 16 by nine aspect ratio. It's a four by three screen. I think the number one thing I'd probably use it for is watching videos in the kitchen. Well, that's out. Yep.
229
00:33:08.540 --> 00:33:16.715
Yeah. I'd watch out in brown in the kitchen. That'd be nice. And, you know, funny enough, the the Google little one that I've had forever is a 16 by nine screen does YouTube just Mhmm.
230
00:33:17.275 --> 00:33:21.115
Alright. Since we don't have any any other boost above 2,000, I'll pull up adversaries.
231
00:33:21.195 --> 00:33:59.395
Adversary 17 came in with 17 o one sats. I am programmed in multiple techniques. Time travel boost, Star Trek two, three, and four. Yes. Three is a bit disappointing after the glorious masterpiece that is two, but it starts a new rising action that leads to a masterpiece that is four. Plus, you don't appreciate how special the special bird of prey is. That is true. They do they do bring in the bird of prey, which stays within Star Trek for basically forever until New Trek. Mhmm. That's that's fun. Cyberfighter sent in a thousand sass said, I switched to fountain to stream sats, but the UI is clunky. Aw. No matter how I ordered the episodes in the back catalog, the launch, often in other shows, it plays whatever it wanted.
232
00:33:59.910 --> 00:34:14.315
Then Podverse charges a sub just to make the episode played. Back on a Tenopod. Love the show. I hear Podcast Guru is a really popular one too. And... But but... Well, I'm trying to remember. Pocket Cast has been adding a lot of podcasting two dot o features as well. Nice. Alright.
233
00:34:14.474 --> 00:34:16.234
That's it, Andrews. That's it.
234
00:34:16.875 --> 00:34:19.435
Lower expectations.
235
00:34:19.994 --> 00:34:21.755
Few streamers. Thank
236
00:34:22.154 --> 00:34:23.915
you very much. 5,000 sats
237
00:34:24.714 --> 00:34:26.315
with a total of
238
00:34:27.000 --> 00:34:29.800
12,701
239
00:34:29.800 --> 00:34:30.760
Satoshis.
240
00:34:33.800 --> 00:34:44.815
You know, clearly my fault. Haven't been earning people enough money. You know? They maybe... Or they're just in the early seed investment of their big invest. So let's see if we can help them out, then they can turn around and keep the show going.
241
00:34:45.694 --> 00:34:47.535
Chris found a gem,
242
00:34:47.934 --> 00:34:49.295
an easy flip.
243
00:34:49.454 --> 00:34:51.135
Let's cash it in.
244
00:34:51.615 --> 00:34:54.830
It's barely standing kinda scary, but potential's
245
00:34:54.830 --> 00:34:56.030
extraordinary.
246
00:34:57.470 --> 00:34:59.950
Just trust me, it's
247
00:35:04.910 --> 00:35:06.535
Just trust me.
248
00:35:06.695 --> 00:35:07.975
It's a a winner.
249
00:35:09.655 --> 00:35:16.215
This first one's simple on the outside, colorful in the inside. I get a sense it probably wasn't decorated by a dude.
250
00:35:16.695 --> 00:35:20.055
It's going for $669,000
251
00:35:19.530 --> 00:35:21.290
in Trinidad, California.
252
00:35:21.290 --> 00:35:23.610
One bed, one bath, 1,092
253
00:35:23.610 --> 00:35:24.650
square feet.
254
00:35:25.290 --> 00:35:27.850
And it was built in 1965
255
00:35:27.930 --> 00:35:30.250
on a 4.3 acre acre lot.
256
00:35:30.730 --> 00:35:35.745
And like I say, it's pretty... I mean, it's not bad outside. It just looks pretty standard. Mhmm.
257
00:35:36.065 --> 00:35:44.065
But when you get into it... And it's, again, fine. But when you get into it, the colors really stand out to me on the inside. Like, they went for just
258
00:35:44.224 --> 00:35:45.984
almost like Titanic
259
00:35:45.984 --> 00:35:47.345
cruise ship bold
260
00:35:47.570 --> 00:35:54.930
on the design. It almost looks like you're on a cruise ship from, like, nineteen o eight or something. Do you know what I'm saying? Like, metal roof,
261
00:35:55.170 --> 00:35:56.850
red walls, wood floor,
262
00:35:57.090 --> 00:35:58.930
gold trim around the doors.
263
00:35:59.490 --> 00:36:08.265
You know, you could see your president loving something like this. The bed's, like, in a... I don't even know what you call that. Yeah. It's like a house of royalty or Asian
264
00:36:09.065 --> 00:36:10.425
situation. Maybe? Yeah.
265
00:36:10.825 --> 00:36:18.425
Yeah. Yeah. Like a bit much. Do you see, like, they got faces above the doorposts and stuff? Very ornament. Could you live in something like this, or do you think it'd be, constant
266
00:36:18.860 --> 00:36:19.740
overstimulation?
267
00:36:19.740 --> 00:36:21.260
I think it is overstimulation.
268
00:36:21.260 --> 00:36:25.420
I like I like it... Just not so bright, not so colorful.
269
00:36:25.580 --> 00:36:27.180
It's a really cool
270
00:36:27.260 --> 00:36:28.060
cottage
271
00:36:28.060 --> 00:36:28.700
feel.
272
00:36:29.500 --> 00:36:30.780
I wonder how much of this is AI.
273
00:36:31.545 --> 00:36:37.305
Right? I... When I see It almost seems not real. When I look like... I'm looking... Photo twenty three
274
00:36:37.704 --> 00:36:50.500
and twenty four look like an AI treatment to me. Yep. Man, sneaking in. Although, I bet the walls and stuff are real, but, like, the images don't look real out the window. They look like fake AI generated images. Mhmm. Some of it might be real, but
275
00:36:51.780 --> 00:37:21.080
Remy just gave me his impression of the Amazon Bee by showing me his order placed. Oh my gosh. And he said, tell Chris I said thanks. Alright. Well, he'll have to give us a review. So he has been wanting to make notes while he drives Sure. Yeah. Because he delivers Yeah. Yeah. Throughout the day. I bet. But they just installed AI cameras, so he can't, you know Oh, like, run it down. Kind of device or anything. But he could turn that on and just, you know, say what he wants to As in... When I was when I was trying to solve this in the RV,
276
00:37:21.240 --> 00:37:22.760
I found out that pilots
277
00:37:22.920 --> 00:37:25.320
use, like, a a pad strapped to their leg.
278
00:37:26.280 --> 00:37:33.385
Well, he can't. Yeah. I know. Yeah. Right. Right. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That might solve that. Alright. So, boy, I just don't think I could do it. Outdoor bathtub.
279
00:37:33.465 --> 00:37:36.825
Yeah. I mean, it's got some nice outdoor stuff, and it's got four acres of land.
280
00:37:37.225 --> 00:37:43.145
It's really not... I mean, there's some there's some things I really like about it, especially the price for California Mhmm. Isn't crazy.
281
00:37:43.625 --> 00:37:46.660
This next one, built in 1941,
282
00:37:46.900 --> 00:37:48.820
$289,900.
283
00:37:48.820 --> 00:37:50.900
Pretty good value. Alright. Two bed, two bath.
284
00:37:51.220 --> 00:37:52.740
Tiny. 996
285
00:37:52.740 --> 00:38:01.135
square feet. We're in Saint Louis Park, a city in Minnesota, which is approximately... I got 50,000 residents, which was incorporated as a village in 1886.
286
00:38:01.615 --> 00:38:03.775
And there, they have a tiny home.
287
00:38:04.415 --> 00:38:11.055
And it's got, you know, I mean, a lot going for it if you're looking for a budget, I suppose. Yeah. And the kitchen's standard,
288
00:38:11.730 --> 00:38:19.730
Dining room's standard. The upstairs bathroom Oh, what? Pretty standard. What is that shower? I don't know. What is... Then you get down in the basement,
289
00:38:20.369 --> 00:38:37.224
and, like, it throws off the entire place. Like, I legit would be walking through this place and be like, oh, okay. I can make this work. Yeah. And then you come down here and you're like, I'm noping out. Yeah. It looks like a combination of, like, stucco foam and brick. Right? But you can see pipes. So it's like, is it finished?
290
00:38:37.545 --> 00:38:44.170
What is that? But then also look at the ceiling of the shower. It's got a regular, like Right. Regular school.
291
00:38:44.410 --> 00:38:52.010
Yeah. Like, tile floor, like, the... Or ceiling, like like, the poppable tiles in the in the ceiling. And then it's got a light that's just like an ordinary
292
00:38:52.010 --> 00:38:57.515
room light, like, doesn't have any kind of water protection. No. That's so weird. Floor is like, they spilled
293
00:38:57.515 --> 00:39:15.270
the the molding stuff all over the floor of it. And then there's even in the in the actual floor of the downstairs, it's like... It's it's made a mess. Mhmm. This entire... It's... The vibe is so weird. That's why I called it shower forward because it's got, like, a lot of showers, but at what cost? Mhmm. It's so bad. And this is the...
294
00:39:15.510 --> 00:39:23.505
This is right off the family room. Mhmm. This is right off the main family room. It's not like it's hidden. That's crazy. I I don't get it. 996
295
00:39:23.505 --> 00:39:26.305
square feet, you gotta take off another 50,000 for that.
296
00:39:26.785 --> 00:39:31.025
And then we get to the big one. Alright. Now I'm calling this... Say I have some I
297
00:39:31.585 --> 00:39:39.340
have some standing. I'm saying this is a dome home done right. Oh my gosh. That's not AI? I will. $1,000,000.
298
00:39:39.340 --> 00:39:43.020
It's better not be. Six beds, five bath, 8,050
299
00:39:43.020 --> 00:39:45.820
square feet, built in 1977.
300
00:39:46.060 --> 00:39:50.860
Eden Prairie, which is another city in Minnesota with a population of 64,000 residents. Double dome.
301
00:39:51.455 --> 00:39:52.495
Double dome.
302
00:39:52.655 --> 00:39:56.815
On top of a double car garage too, which I don't know if I've ever seen this before.
303
00:39:57.135 --> 00:40:00.095
This kind of approach. Car, a double Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
304
00:40:01.455 --> 00:40:06.495
With whole deck on top that? Deck is so so peak. The deck is amazing.
305
00:40:07.350 --> 00:40:16.310
Who you been hanging out with? Girls too much, I guess. The... It's also got, like, just... They really nailed the sunroofs in a dome. Oh, I thought you're gonna say the slide.
306
00:40:17.670 --> 00:40:25.464
It... It's got a... Does it have a slide? It's got a lot. It's... They've nailed the windows. Lots of natural light. They have porthole windows.
307
00:40:25.625 --> 00:40:31.224
The other thing Circular. That they've got right, the dome homes often mess up. Oh, yeah. I see the slide.
308
00:40:31.545 --> 00:40:56.065
Is the walls are not all weird and and angled. Some of them are, but most of the walls are actually usable and flat. They're curved Mhmm. But they're usable and they're trimmed nicely. Sometimes in these domes where where they... Where the pieces... Where the... Sometimes, like, the triangles come together Mhmm. The wall splits. Mhmm. And it just kinda has cracks in the in the wall, but they've... They put over it with, like, wood trim that makes it look really nice. And so you don't have these strange
309
00:40:56.225 --> 00:40:59.265
jutting out walls in different rooms where some domes really blow.
310
00:40:59.505 --> 00:41:05.820
It's... Look. It's so good. It's it's the best dome I've ever seen. Plus, you get that huge garage. You got the double dome effect here. Yep.
311
00:41:06.140 --> 00:41:12.940
Lots of natural light in the rooms. Like, the bedrooms have giant skylights over them, you wake up to the sunlight and go to bed to the stars.
312
00:41:13.260 --> 00:41:22.095
This is it. This is how you do a dumbass. So for reference, I'm gonna put it in the state is it? I believe it was min... Was it... What did I say? I don't know. There's like a little stage.
313
00:41:22.175 --> 00:41:37.540
Did you see that just beyond the slide? Mhmm. Mhmm. It is bop bop. Like, with red curtains and everything. Oh, yeah. Alright. It was in Eden Prairie in a city in Minnesota with 64,000 residents. Crazy. Eden Prairie. I'm only halfway through the pictures. The double dome. I know there's 90 pictures.
314
00:41:37.860 --> 00:41:38.820
A multigenerational
315
00:41:38.820 --> 00:41:46.735
living room. Unique amenities include an indoor putting green, an exercise room, a theater room, a dual indoor and outdoor slides,
316
00:41:46.975 --> 00:41:52.015
offering endless opportunities for recreation and unforgettable family memories. And and also injuries.
317
00:41:52.175 --> 00:42:03.530
Yeah. Yeah. Oh, there's a pond. It'll be part of the memories, the injuries. There's a pond and a little bridge. Yeah. I know. It has all composite deck, outdoor hot tub, a decorative pond,
318
00:42:03.850 --> 00:42:06.810
and then beautiful willow trees. Another slide outside.
319
00:42:07.610 --> 00:42:13.685
This is And they just put a new roof on it in 2026. New windows, new concrete patio. Expensive. And a new driveway.
320
00:42:14.005 --> 00:42:28.920
Yeah. Well, no wonder why it's a million dollars. Yeah. Right. It was it was the roof. Yeah. Seriously, it's gonna be a lot. And the location's pretty great too. Very cool. If you look on the map, it's right by Bryant Lake. So you're kind of in this regional park area, which is just gorgeous,
321
00:42:29.559 --> 00:42:30.840
and right by lake,
322
00:42:31.000 --> 00:42:31.800
and then,
323
00:42:32.359 --> 00:42:36.840
I don't know, probably forty five minutes or less an hour to Downtown Minneapolis.
324
00:42:36.920 --> 00:42:37.160
Mhmm.
325
00:42:37.875 --> 00:42:41.475
It's a pretty decent little location, really. Don't Again, a million dollars for
326
00:42:42.355 --> 00:42:42.755
know.
327
00:42:43.955 --> 00:42:45.715
But I guess it'd be considered a suburb.
328
00:42:45.875 --> 00:42:47.075
Mhmm. Well,
329
00:42:47.795 --> 00:42:54.830
there you go, Andrews. Mhmm. If you had to pick one, right, the Dome House would be it. Yeah. Obviously. Although, if you wanted just like an Airbnb,
330
00:42:55.390 --> 00:43:05.150
the simple outside, color party inside Yeah. You could probably get a few folks that are looking for a crazy Airbnb on that one. Yeah. You never know. Definitely. Mhmm. Alright. Another helpful PSA.
331
00:43:07.505 --> 00:43:12.145
The more you know from your pals, Chris and Angela.
332
00:43:12.145 --> 00:43:12.785
So
333
00:43:13.825 --> 00:43:18.625
we have a new clanker therapy. Clanker three is out. The m p three is extras.show,
334
00:43:18.625 --> 00:43:26.750
and the video is on YouTube, and members get an extended bootleg cut. Then also on the meetup page, which is where we've been organizing the clinker therapy,
335
00:43:27.150 --> 00:43:29.550
I would imagine before this weekend,
336
00:43:29.870 --> 00:43:47.695
I will have the meetup posted for Texas Linux Fest, which is sixteen days, twelve hours away. Wow. Yes. So I just gotta verify with the venue because they didn't do that last time. They're still very accommodating, but I wanna verify with the venue first. And once I, know, finally make that phone call, I'll get it on the Meetup page, and I'll send out the notification.
337
00:43:47.855 --> 00:43:52.200
So you... If you're gonna be in the area and you wanna make it, you can just subscribe to the meetup.com/jupiter
338
00:43:52.200 --> 00:43:56.440
broadcasting page, and you'll get the announcement for that and a future clanker therapy.
339
00:43:56.600 --> 00:44:01.320
Perfect. Yeah. Which I think the clanker therapies have been nice. Mhmm. Will probably be
340
00:44:01.720 --> 00:44:17.145
a little while. I imagine it'll probably be a little while before we do another one just because we're going to Texas. Mhmm. We've some show stuff we're doing. So we'll have some breathing room, but you can still send your... What you're working on, your projects, your clanker related projects, go over to uplink.jupiterbroadcasting.com.
341
00:44:17.580 --> 00:44:25.900
Can leave an uplink there. And then eventually, I'll expand that here to the launch as well. And we'll be leaving uplinks and maybe moving away from the phone. I don't know. Oh.
342
00:44:26.140 --> 00:44:34.445
Yeah. Because, you know, we gotta pay for the phone version. Yeah. But the uplink Yeah. Well, it's not free because they're storage, but it's it's close to free. It's close to free. Alright.
343
00:44:34.684 --> 00:44:38.845
I think that's it, Andrews. Okay. Think we're out of here. Links at weeklylaunch.rocks.
344
00:44:38.845 --> 00:44:47.670
Go over there. Things we talked about and more, plus the back catalog. Then think about joining us live on a Tuesday. Why not? Or catch us in your podcast app on a Wednesday.
