LinkedIn, the place to be, to be. Hey, besties. Welcome to Pillows and Beer. I'm Craig Taylor. We're joined with Nick Norris. Nick, have you ever thought about how an idea like DoorDash or Uber Eats, I mean, that's just got to be one of those ideas that people had forever, for decades, since pizza delivery was invented.
I mean, I had a similar idea and I still do that. I probably shouldn't say on here because someone will just do it that there needs to be that for like contractors or like home improvement projects where you can just go on and people go to Lowe's and they bring you, you know, whatever you need. Instead of having to, I was fixing the lawnmower today and I had to drive into fricking town to get the part instead of being able to work on something else. And I'm like, why can't I just order this and have someone bring it to me? Well, what's really wild about that, Nick is,
The good news for you is that's Instacart. So I use Instacart for Lowe's and Home Depot. But will they bring you a sheet of plywood and stuff like that? There's probably a size restriction. So you're right. There's a gap in the market there. But yeah, if you could have building supplies delivered, if you could go to your office...
And say you were framing out like the first floor of something. I mean, yes, you have to like, you know, call or send your guys to the store or have like things crane delivered. But you're right. If you could just do that on your app, on your phone, you'd be like, Hey, I want to build a shed tomorrow and just have it all. Cause I find it for cooking, especially I can organize my ingredient requirements better than if I'm like,
I mean, I guess I could have, I was walking around the store with a list, but it's just kind of nice to be like, Hey, I want to cook this. I want to cook this tomorrow and I can get all of my ingredients, you know, in an hour and a half. Yeah. And I always forget something when I do that anyways. And then I'm like, I just, yeah, I know. And I just, I just, you know, there's like my big one was the, you know, the washer dryer being the same machine. Um,
So many times I leave my clothes in the washer. Can't you get a two-in-one? It's a thing now. Yeah, it's a thing now. I have one in my hotel room the other day. Oh.
But like, you know, I, and then you're like, yeah, but I'm not an engineer. I'm not like a big tech guy or like, you know, what was it that allowed Uber Eats to do it? Because Chucktown delivers or Charleston delivers was the thing when I was here and they were like, we'll bring, um, carry out food to you. But the thing is like, they just didn't have the volume. However, it turns out that everyone, they have all the volume, you know, there is, but I don't know if restaurants, uh,
were equipped for it yet. And that maybe that wasn't until COVID, you know? Well, yeah.
I think Uber Eats was before COVID. Or like why did Uber – why was Uber Eats successful and like everyone else that had that idea not? I think they just had the capital and they had already the app in place. Like they're an established app. So it kind of just makes sense to branch off. You know what another idea that I had when I was in college was a pretty much college business that you could franchise where you basically train students. It's just like a job. And they like are basically –
what do you call them? Handyman's for like, like on campus stuff. So like fraternity punches a hole in the wall, you can go on, you know, make it a Roanoke handyman and you have the app and it's, I need a whole repair. And it's just like you hiring students, you don't need like anything, like any type of class for you just need training. You don't need a permit to fix a hole in a wall or that kind of stuff. No, that's actually a great idea because the hole in the wall,
was such a scary thing, but it happened all the time. But you were like, I don't know any builders. Like you just, like you didn't know where to start, but you know, if you had someone in the fraternity house that knew how to patch a hole, you know, but even back then, like Google and stuff didn't, it was just coming around to having instructions and they didn't really have like
you know, that convenient like hole patching kits that they do now at the hardware store. I think that's a fantastic idea and the campus could use it. But I mean, it's kind of like thumbtack, I guess does that, but it's just not as, I find that when I search for handyman, a lot of these referral websites are,
They just make you give, you have to input way too much information before. Agreed. Like, like you, you get seven steps in and you're like, I, I, it's now not worth my time to go any further if I don't know.
no proof of concept really, you know? - Yeah, well, and that's what I'm saying. If you get college students to do it, I think college students will trust other college students more than they will just having, 'cause let's be real, at some fraternity houses or any type of party house, there's things laying around that people don't wanna be like seeing, but if a college student comes in, then they don't care. - Yeah, you can sign an NDA in the app, say like we have secrets. That's like when people used to like smoke weed with their cable guy.
Like the guy would come over to fix like the cable or internet, like media, com or Comcast. And I'd hear about my friends being like, yeah, Comcast guy got high with me today. It's just, it's funny that weed used to be, it's just the evolution of weed is really incredible. Like I was explaining it to my parents last time I was home of like smoking weed doesn't really exist anymore. Like, I mean it does, but like the Rastafarian like,
Like what the generation above us, what a lot of them would think of if you do pot is just not how you do pot. Yeah. Well, I mean, I mean, my dad even got into like edibles and stuff like that and gum right. And that kind of thing. And he goes, but I'm saying like back in the day, the only way to get high was like you, you,
yeah was you smoked it and and you smelled like it and your eyes were bloodshot and like everyone knew the stoner kid and it's been fascinating to watch the evolution of it um you know now you have drink you have any form possible and actually there's restaurants that are right just a whole fully cannabis infused and smoking flower is like
It's just not as common. It's not the most common way, I don't think. I think more people use pens than a classic. Well, I don't know how I got on that. But it's funny because you think of, oh, it's because of the Comcast guy. The guy that I'm picturing in my head. Shout out.
um I won't say his last name but he was just like his up like when you went to his condo like it was like in a movie like you open the doors and it was always like smoky and you're like you know and he's got the bong on the coffee table and you're kind of nervous to be there because like our college was one strike um one strike weed offense you got suspended for an entire semester or entire year
Isn't that crazy? Shit, Roanoke, you'd basically have to go to jail for two days if you got caught with it. Yeah, I know all about your guys' crazy freaking system. It's undocumented. They just put people in jail and then they let you out after a couple days. Yeah, you basically go on a weekend. Yeah, it's wild. Crazy.
Frickin' Commonwealth, man. All right, we're going to take a quick break. We'll be right back.

I'm Craig Conover, representing Sewing Down South, the Pillows aspect, and Nick Norris here,
What's on your shirt, Nick? Country Club Pour. Oh, this is one of our test shirts that I made. Your Country Club Pour. Fantastic. With Hills and Beer down low. I love that. Yeah, very, very, very good job. Another one of our uncompleted projects from Hills and Beer. We ran into some legal issues. Yeah, well, I think...
Jerry and I talked about it. I think we, there's some, we still are fighting the other stuff, but I think it's time we just put some stuff out there and just see what people, because people ask. Yeah. A year later. Yeah. Merch is great. Have you seen the newest, there's a lot going on, but the newest UFO stuff? Which one? There's some stuff in some other countries that I saw. Is that what you're talking about? No. One of our congressmen basically sat in on the,
a hearing a um you know it's yeah wait is that who it was and he was like they he was like i have been told by senior level reading the hill representative he said that there's a cover-up or i've been told by several senior officials that the america just isn't ready to
to know and i was like yeah of course they're not like this like no but i am like some of us are um well here's an article and i don't know if it's like a real like it's ottawa citizen it's some like canadian newspaper canada joined secret pentagon meeting on ufos dnd can't figure out who attended i just love the he's um
He follows up in his quote and he's like, I'm an American, damn it. I can handle anything you throw at me. I'm like, guys, I feel like the list of people that find out that there's other terrestrial nation states around
Probably shouldn't be everyone. Do you think it's like Men in Black? Or do you think it's way more secret than that? Dude, at this point, I don't know. It's just, it's so hard to fathom that it's real. You know? Like, yes, obviously, you can make a case for it and all of this stuff. But I'm saying, like, really...
accepting it is almost like when you see a color for the first time that you've never seen before. Cause like now I sound high. Um, I'm just saying like, I just, it's been hidden so well from my life, but then the side of me says, um,
you know, there's those shows like Star Trek and stuff were inspired by something, you know, and the stories and are like, you know, the ancient writings, like it's gotta be inspired from somewhere. So like, is it pure fantasy or other life out there?
Well, I'm just saying, but like really trying to accept that. Is that not difficult for you or you are just like. I don't know. I don't know if I believe that they've come here, but I believe that they're out there. Do you think it's harder to believe in God or aliens? Or do you think they might be? I think aliens are way more realistic. Or they would be the gods.
Right. Maybe there was a, you know, a little crossover or something. Yeah. Way back when we had Zeus and all those characters. I've stupidly watched something on Instagram showing the size of the earth, but I didn't,
No, it was the size of the earth in the galaxy or I wouldn't have clicked on it because it mind fucks me every time. But instead it was like where earth is located. And so it starts zooming, you know, in, uh,
And you're like, oh, we must have started in the Milky Way and these are our planets. And then you realize that the things that you thought were planets were entire universes and entire universes and entire galaxies and entire galaxies. And then you get to the Milky Way and you're just like, the vastness of space is very hard, I will say, for me to comprehend. Like sometimes I have some like existential concerns
you know, my brain, a hundred billion and 2 trillion galaxies in the observable universe. Right. And like, that's, that's too big to comprehend. Those numbers are too big. I mean, the pure size quintillions for planets. Yeah. Like, and the,
a light year is how long it would take the something traveling at the speed of light to reach us. That's why I like when we're like, no, no, no, no, no. A light year is what is a light year? I got it. It's a distance that travels. Yeah. Travels in one year. Yeah. And one year. Okay. So I'm saying, yeah. So like, if you see, we see are like thousands of years old. Yeah. Well, and that's even hard to, we're seeing into the past. Yeah.
So a light year is nearly, do you want to guess how many miles a light year is? I don't know. Like, I mean, you're not, it's 6 trillion miles. Yeah. How about they're getting ready? Like they think they're close to getting to near light speed with some spacecraft. Like they think they're theoretically have figured it out and now they want to, I mean, look, one of the common themes, one that I like to participate in is,
is that once you develop the technology for warp speed, that's when you get invited. That's when they come. That's when the Federation shows up. I personally believe that I was born to be the captain of a starship. I mean, as fast as technology moves, you got about 25 years to see some crazy shit. Would Paige live on a starship with me?
fuck Charleston versus New York. We're going to space. No, I am. But if it was like Star Trek, I would do it. I'm a scaredy cat. If it was like, yeah, like interstellar trips me out like that. Well, see, I didn't watch that because I can't handle, I, it's a lot like for space freaks me the, the heck out. Like I, it's theoretically all probable of what that movie is. It's wild. It's wild.
Like, and you just like watch, right? I mean, that's far enough to understand this. Like they're in different dimensions at one point. I think, well, like Star Trek and Guardians of the Galaxy would be a very fun existence. But we're, I mean, that's just, we're on the baby age of space. Like we're in the baby generation. We still haven't discovered, we haven't sort of like figured out what's at the bottom of all our oceans yet. We've like,
The ocean fascinates me. I love that. Did you see that they're not even hiding the moon landing from us anymore, by the way? What do you mean? Did you see the new movie that they just made about how this publicist was hired to sell...
the moon mission because they couldn't get funding and it was it was just failing they were like no one cares if we go to the moon or not so this movie is about how we hot not nasa hired a publicist to sell the moon landing and so she hires four people that look like the astronauts because the astronauts won't do press and like you know they're they're at the scientifical beings
That's not a word, but she hires four actors and they start, you know, going out and doing press and they become the most famous people in America. And then they go to her and they say, Hey, us getting to the moon before Russia is like world, like, like more important than anything that you will ever experience again. And he said, so we have to have a backup plan.
And so then her job was to stage, was to film the backup plan. So we filmed a moon landing just in case it didn't work for us. And so the astronauts were all like, if you make this fake video, you're ruining everything that we've worked so hard for. It was like a big movie. Yeah, a huge, huge movie. And so then the whole thing is that we did make a movie.
a movie of the moon landing just in case it didn't work. So like, I'm like, is that what happened? Are they telling us that that's what happened? No, we went to the moon. What does it say on there? So it says it's like... What's it called? Fly me to the moon. It's fly me to the moon. Fly me to the moon. It's a high-stakes backdrop. Based on true story.
Let's see. Fly me to the moon. I think it's a little bit of both. It basically brings in the fodder of a conspiracy theorist, but it does have a... Oh, yeah. People are... Well, what's funny is people are going to think it's based on real life. They always do. Some think the moon... The film is loosely based on real life events, but it takes plenty of creative liberties. As most do.
Yeah, I like at the end looking what the people look like. Like Apollo. I mean, that's what like the whole like Apollo was Apollo 13, 13. What's the movie? What's the thing that failed in space? Like if you watch it, no one gave a shit about them going to the moon like anymore. Like people just stop caring. They didn't care before because they think it was possible. And then once it happened, it was like, OK, cool. We've done this before.
which is wild so the official statement is that nasa did not film a backup plan for the moon landings catch would be they didn't film a backup plan because they filmed the plan no i don't really have a theory on that that i care to talk about right now but nick and paige don't think we went to the moon
um who says that i think i think we went to the moon and i think we found something on the moon i think yeah i did i think we're i think it's the transformers theory that we got there and something told us to not fucking come back also the moon is starting to not make sense to me nick i'll just say it
I learned about it my whole life. I understand the science. I know the ins and outs of the gravitational orbit that it's stuck in. The older I get doesn't really make sense anymore, Nick. What don't you understand? It's not that I don't understand it. The math isn't mathing for me anymore. Like I've never thought that the moon was a lie until two days after the eclipse. I went out and looked at the moon.
And it was a very, very small sliver crescent moon. But you could see the entire moon because there was like a lot of glow that night. And I was like, so the sun is shining off this extraterrestrial massive body.
that's just circling our planet in the vastness of space. And we see the sunlight reflecting off the moon. I mean, that's the science, but yes, standing out in my yard, I was like, doesn't make a lot of sense anymore. Well, just imagine the other plans that have multiple moons.
No, I know. And can you imagine like the astronauts? Sometimes I like listen in on the space station just to hear their recordings. And I'm like, this is wild that they're up there. Well, that's the coolest thing to me is just like what they see. Like, I mean, they see everything. Like, I mean, like they see like a hurricane and it's volcanoes. Yeah, it's crazy. Let's see. I think that wraps it up, Nick.
