You're listening to the Jeff Fisher Show. The founder of this company 10 years ago was trying to sell his house and went through real estate agent after real estate agent. And they were all talking a great game. And this guy who is selling his house, the founder of this company, he's kind of an important guy and should get the best treatment. And he said to his wife, if this is what it's like for us, how do people who have no clout ever get around this? So he started a company, and it went into business, I think, three years ago. Their deal is, their word is their bond. And they are just like you.

Now, how can I say that? Because I'm the founder of the company. We have 1,000 agents across the country, and they are people that listen to this show. And so when you go through real estate agents, I trust, it's sent to somebody who already, you already know their sensibilities. They already are cut from exactly the same cloth. There's got to be a better way. There is.

real estate agents, itrust.com. Well, what I, I guess for lack of a better term, it'd be science fiction turned into reality when it comes to electronics. Some of these things that were introduced at CES this year are just, are amazing that we've come so far. And I was saying my grandmother,

who would be 118, she was born in 1898, died in, I think, 1990s. I live to be 100. If you showed her these things, of course, my grandma was, she was very level-headed to each show. She said, well, yeah, that's kind of fascinating. She was from the northeast. The smart ski vest protect you.

The rollable television, you can roll up and stick in your backpack. The go-tena, we just talked about that. It'll turn your telephone, your cell phone, into a two-way radio so that you can, when you're going camping, if there's no cell service, if you have two of these Gottena's, you can install them on your phone. I just plug them into your phone and you can send and receive messages for free, share locations on maps, free, instantaneous transmission within range, one-to-one in group messaging, delivery confirmation and message retry. It's very fascinating. Gottena.com, G-O-T-E-N-A.com, is that website. The thing that I think is so cool because I've wanted one of these for so long, number one on my list here.

And it's available at star trek.com. And when you think about the things on Star Trek that were ahead of their time, the phaser. And I mean, obviously they've got lasers now that'll do just about anything, the tricorder, the communicator. The flip phone. Remember I had one of those, I think it was called StarTac, the flip phone. Gosh, I had one of those, what, 10, 15 years ago? They seem almost quaint now compared to iPhones. But I ordered one of these from Star Trek.com.

It is the original communicator that Bluetooth connects to your cell phone. So you can. It's so cool. You can flip this thing open using obviously Siri. You can voice dial. You can talk on the communicator. It has all the bells and whistles, literally. It has the lights that flash.

It has the little moray dial that spins. And these things are 150 bucks. They don't break the bank. That to me is amazing. And it's reality now. You can get one of these and connect it to your cell phone and actually talk. And I'm looking for it right now. There it is right there.

$150. Original series Bluetooth communicator. And it just looks so cool. There are three reviews on it so far. This thing comes out. It ships next month. again, it's available at Star Trek.com.

It just looks so cool. Whether or not ships on May 15th, 2016, 2016, this, you know, if you've ever, maybe you're not a Star Trek geek like me, so bear with me. Over the years, I've built models, you know, of the communicator. I've bought those little prop replicas,

and they're kind of cool. You stand around and you flip them up, and it's got the recording on it. But now you can actually make, you can call literally anywhere in the world on your very own communicator for $150. And I was reading online somewhere, I was doing some mind candy, essentially, looking at communicator kits, prop kits and things like that, and looking at the guy that originally designed these

what was his last name Chang Ma Chang Hua Chang, I think it was his name he was the prop maker on Star Trek and he designed the communicator which he actually designed using a pencil box

they discovered the actual pencil box that he used for the shape of the communicator Ma Hua Chang Ma Chang anyway brilliant guy designed that I think he designed the phaser too and this thing has become reality.

Now we really can call anywhere in the world from your communicator, which attaches to your cell phone. The scientist, I was reading more about the transporter. The scientists in Germany have come up with a way. Essentially, it's two of these 3D printers. If you want to transport something,

you put the object inside the first one, and it scans it. I guess it destroys whatever object it is in the process, but it scans the object, and then in the prototype it takes like 90 minutes, but that object is recreated in the other 3D printer, which could be, you know, across the room or on the other side of the planet. So essentially we have even invented the transporter, much like Dr. McCoy, I don't think I would want to step on the transporter pad at this point.

might be an uncomfortable trip and an even less comfortable reassembly. But it's possible the fact that we can do that, how far off are we from being able to transport a human being and not have to worry about getting stuck in traffic? And how will that change the world?
