Trash Made a Black Mirror App | The Standup
Chapters14
The host introduces Trash Dev and his early, vibe-coded app project, hinting at its potential personal stakes and the upcoming demo.
Trash Dev builds a vibe-coded receipts app called Receipts, turning domestic quirks into a Black Mirror-like battle of wesses and waivers, all live on The Standup.
Summary
In a hilariously chaotic episode of The Standup, Trash Dev walks the crew through his first big “vibe coded” project, a quirky iPhone app called Receipts that catalogs daily squabbles and moments with photos and videos. Tee DV Casey Mirritor tees up the scene, then Trash explains how the app started as a wholesome idea and exploded into a staged demo about keeping “receipts” in a marriage. The live demo showcases onboarding screens, multiple profiles (self, mom, son), a feed of captured receipts, and a widget for quick logging on the go. The humor leans into the tension around marriage, privacy, and the AI-assisted build process, with Trash joking about building it 100% vibe-coded and even joking about monetization gimmicks like a premium tier, loot boxes, and ads for divorce lawyers. The crew riffs on how a tool like this could go too far, including playful suggestions for an “expose” feature and a future where AI enforces relationships’ receipts. The episode also features references to tools like Code Rabbit for security and linting, a nod to Swift/iOS challenges, and a meta conversation about shipping an app live on the App Store. It’s all anchored by Trash’s candid storytelling about coding, marriage, and how far one might push a concept for humor and catharsis. By the end, the team teases follow-ups on Android release, usage stats, and potential updates like badges, leaderboards, and private groups.
Key Takeaways
- Receipts is a mobile ‘vibe coded’ app that logs daily annoyances or affirmations via photos, with onboarding, profiles, a feed, and a widget.
- Trash Demoed live on The Standup shows an iPhone landing page, in-app logging flow, camera mode, and the ability to assign receipts to different people (self, mom, son).
- Premium monetization includes a three-person limit, $2.99/month, or $20/year, plus potential future features like loot boxes and ads related to divorce lawyers.
- Code quality and security are discussed with references to Code Rabbit for threat detection and linting, plus caution about local storage vs external services.
- The app’s concept is intentionally provocative—its name Receipts, the ‘expose’ idea, and Black Mirror comparisons spark conversations about obsession, privacy, and relationship dynamics.

Full Transcript
Welcome to the standup. Today we have an extremely special episode as always as Tee DV Casey Mirritor, legendary gamedev and trash dev. In this special week, Trash Dev is going to walk us through the app he's been creating, one of his first, very first vibe coded apps, which very well may lead to his divorce. So, I'm very excited about the outcome of this application. So, please Trash, take the stage and tell us all about it. Yeah. Uh, anyways, sorry. May I interject for a moment before takes the stage? Um, there's also going to be a new place on YouTube for you to watch the full episodes of the standup.
We're going to upload them. The link will be in the description. It's just a channel for the full episodes. I know some of you guys have been saying in the comments, you want the full episode on YouTube. We hear you. We're going to make that happen. Uh, that'll be easy. You'll still see some shorter, little tighter edited versions showing up on Prime's channel. He's like, I can't have videos that are an hour long. My audience, they've only got 8 minute maximum attention spans. Okay, they've got maximum 8 minutes. And that's he's pushing them. He every week he tries to add one second to the video.
By the time you're 100 years old, you'll be able to watch a 12minute video. You're going to be you're going to be just saved. You'll be thanking me before you die on your deathbed, buddy. Trash, take it away. So, I should preface this, right? Cuz I don't think everyone actually knows the lore. Yep. Start at the beginning. If you're married, which I doubt many of you are in chat, but if you were to get married or have a significant other, there will be there will be a time where you will get in arguments. Pettiest me petty arguments, but okay, let me just paint the story.
Me and my wife. So far so good, dude. Yeah, I was like, I'm going to fast forward this. I'm fast forwarding this. Okay, so me and my wife, we get a little we we're a happy couple, first of all. Let me put the disclaimer. But she's like me. She's basically Oh, she's not like me. She's way better person than me, but we have a similar sense of humor when it comes to just me and her. Sometimes I or she does things that were kind of just like the [ __ ] you know what? Why'd you do that?
So, I would always bring up things. So, there's an example and I'll just say she's I hope she's not listening. She might be like outside the door. By the way, she was listening toward So, my wife already knows about this cuz we spoiled it on the stand up and she was standing outside the door and she got really upset at me. But anyways, we'll get in arguments where I'm like, "Oh, you left food in the sink." Because I'm like a big pet. Like I hate leaving food in the sink that's like sitting on the thing.
It gets caked to it. Like I like to wash everything down the drain. And she would do that late at night and then go to bed. I'll wake up in the morning, I'll see it. I'm like, "Ah, you did it again." And then I'd bring it up and she'd be like, "I don't do that." And I'm like, "Yes, you do." She's like, "Prove it." I'm like, "Well, I can't prove it." And then after about 20 years of that, I finally decided to do something about it. So I have this THIS IS WE ARE WE ARE INCHES away from being like an episode of like a daytime talk show with that setup.
Like this is after 20 years we finally decided to do something about it. Please welcome stage trash dev. Yeah. You can't build you can't build the app early cuz you'll definitely get divorced. So you got to lock them in 20 years from now and then like they're too invested at this point. I was going to say we're really close to Trash doing an in-person episode of the standup with us because he has to live at my house. Yeah. Yeah. He just pops up on your camera and you're like, "What's going on?" Oh, Trash is sleeping on my couch.
He made a vibe coded app. It's complicated. It's a long very complicated. My startup daily bj.AI is going nuclear. Congratulations on product market fit. Sorry I called you the Diffler. I knew you weren't the Diffler. I always thought I was the intern with the weird glasses. should have seen his code. But anyways, if you want to get on the ground floor of this thing, I'm taking Angel Investments. So, you finally cracked the case merge cop. You put the white space in the diff. You made the synthetic traffic. You made me approve that PR. You're the diff and I always knew it.
You've merged your last PR differ. I already clicked merge on my PR 35 seconds ago. Huh? My merge is blocked. CURSE YOU, CODE RABBITS. You saved the city from a code review related crime. Thanks, Kamish. Well, technically it was Code Rabbit that saved the day. Not only do they have advanced AI features that can detect security vulnerabilities like what the Dler was trying to merge, they also have ways to enforce styling, linting, and a variety of other tools. And so you can stop wasting time reviewing code that humans don't need to review. You can try it yourself at code rabbit.ai.
So Merge Cop, I would say it's a little misleading to say you did it all by yourself. H would you like some cake? Oh, sure. Thanks. We'll get to we'll get to how my wife feels about all this and she's definitely going to listen to this episode, but it's but anyways. So, the interesting part about this is I always wanted to buy the code app just to see what it's like, but at the same time, I was like, "How far can I take this?" So, I'm going to show you guys what I got. We call it, it's called receipts.
Cuz obviously, uh, if you get an argument, you're like, "Yo, bro, I got the receipts." Bam! In your face. You can't divorce me cuz we've been married for 20 years. Well, not that long. Like 10 years. I'm pretty sure they still can. What year? 2026. 2026. Quick. Okay. 10 year of marriage. Okay. So, you can't divorce me at this point, but I can by a decade. Absolutely can. Yeah, we've been together for 20 years and now you're like we've been together for 20 years. You know what I'm saying? What do you imagine is going to happen?
Like you're going to go in front of the judge and she's going to be like, I would like a divorce because of this ridiculous app that this clown made and is trying to tell me like and then and then you're like, you're your honor, I'm a I'm an upstanding citizen. I'm a computer programmer at Netflix and like she left she left food in the sink and you think the judge is just going to go well I find in favor of trash dev because they've been married 10 years like that's that's what he's going to say that seems pretty good also when I bring it up I'm not like all mean about I'm just like hey you know I just got How is that how can you do that not mean I said did I sound nice when I said it that's you can't sound it's it's Not possible.
Like the act itself is mean. Yeah. Well, I'll tell you what. I can't use this app anymore. So that's the TLDDR of my app. She made me uninstall. DUDE, SHE MADE ME uninstall it after like two days cuz she did something and I walked up and I was like and she's like, "What are you doing?" And I was like, "I'm using my app. I got to test it." And she's like, "Uninstall that [ __ ] right now." But look at But I can use it again, but under certain circumstances. So she uses it against me right now.
So, I have a whole like pile against me. All right. Well, good. So, we're like we're testing it. That's good. Well, tell them what the app is. Tell them what the app. But effectively, like you're just getting receipts. You're just photo documenting as things happen. You can categorize them. So, I'll show you. Let me uh let me switch scenes real quick. Let me show you the little uh little thingy moab. Let me see. We got the desktop. Boom. Can you see? Whoa. There's a phone there. I know. I know. This is just the This is just the landing page.
So this is called receipts. So it's going to see it pop up. Boom. Use at your own use at your own risk, right? So use your own. Yeah. Use at your And I give you like the steps, you know? So it's like, how can I commercialize this, right? So like here's the first step. Pause it. So I was like, okay, well, I'm using it, but how can I make it like more available to everybody else? And that's like kind of where I got the fun out of it. I was like, let's just make this try to make this an actual real thing.
Whether it takes off or not, it doesn't matter. But it was like a good experience. And I've never shipped an iPhone app in my life. I've never wrote swift in my life. Never done any of this. So, it was like a good experiment to kind of just like see what it's like for a vibe coder and see like how everyone's like this model's the best and I can do all this and blah blah blah. So, I kind of went like balls to the wall with this and just like use AI the full full full 100% vibe coded and yeah, it was interesting.
So, this is the onboarding thing. Your privacy matters because obviously people are going to be like, "Oh, I don't want you to share my photos." And I think you quick question. Since you've 100% five coded it, how do you know that your privacy actually does matter? I don't. But there's but there you go. Okay. No, I'm just kidding. I do know I checked the local storage. I read through the code a little bit for that specifically. I did like kind of audit the code and make sure. But you know, I'm not calling external services. I'm not calling like planet scale or some company like that.
Right. Trash. I mean, you just like you just say, "Hey Claude, is this secure or not?" That's how you find out. Yeah. You say source to trust me, bro. And then you just put that in the footer. You know what I'm saying? No problem. So this is so just like this is so this is like the onboarding phase. So you can follow your receipt or whatever and then that's it. And then I'll show you like the actual live demo. Like I'll share my actual phone and we'll get to that. So any questions so far? That's like literally just the onboard screen.
So that's basically how can I just like pretend I'm taking a nap. Where are you going to put the um one of the things we had talked about that was really important for the app was like where you going to put the little ad for divorce lawyers like on the onboarding thing to save to contact. So we have a setting screen and I can add some documentation or links to like lawyers and stuff in your local area. You know I can geo you know do geolo I was thinking they would pay you to get their place in there cuz it's like direct like commission probably like Yeah.
It's true. All right. You guys want to see it in action? Yes. Are you ready for this? Can you wait? I have a question already on this stuff. Uh, ask it. So, it said start tracking or skip for now. Mhm. What is the What is the thing that you could skip? So, making your first receipt. So, say like I wrote like Casey here. If I didn't actually know what to track yet, I would just skip it and just get into the actual app. Okay. So, basically like you you're making categories like leaving food in the sink and then like you're saying you're going to create your first category.
So, I'll show you in the next screen. So, this what I'm about to show you now is what it's like when you actually like join the app or actually on board. So, boom. Let's see. Is this going to work? Please work. Okay. Oh, this is killing me. Keep going. Keep going. Trash. Yes. It literally look I CAN'T IMAGINE SOMEONE doing this. Okay, keep going. I can imagine cuz I'm looking right at it. Stable. Yeah, stable. Oh, it's very stable. Well, the app is. Yeah. Yeah, the app the app is stable. The app's looking great. You've done a great job.
Is the screen just flying around the screen right now? Like is everyone the marriage that we're talking about? No trash. Oh. Oh, you're talking about my marriage. Oh, okay. Okay. We'll get to that. Y. So, here's the app. So, see I have myself first here. So, you can pick yourself. You can do other people. So, I have like mom, my son, myself. And you can kind of go through each category and kind of have your receipts here. So, I can go boom boom. So, that's the receipts. So, this is like if you want to add your receipt, you can go ahead and do this here or then you can switch it to somebody else or you can add a new person.
All right. And then do your receipt there. But if you already have existing ones Oh my god, my phone is frozen. Sick app, bro. Oh my god. It's cuz I'm sharing it. I swear this app works. Hold on. We're restarting this bad boy. I also have a widget. Spoiler. So like here's the feed. So like after you do it, you can have the feed here, right? So this is my feed. I just I can't I just can't I can't I can't trash. So, this is my feed. So, you can go here. You know, I got I got toys on the floor.
You know what I'm saying? This is like This is actual footage. I can't handle this hot footage of it. This is food in the sink. You know, like come on. What's the food? Is it that strawberry leaf thing? And you see those things in the top left corner? That's food in the sink. A singular strawberry leaf sink. What's happening? food in the If you guys do this, you're disgusting. How do you move like this, Josh? I like how the solution is. You wash out the sink, but you're like, "No, no, take a picture. I'm going to build it." I know.
Like the time it would take you to just wash this rubber down the garbage. The sink, and I've had enough. Okay, you have time to take a photo. Also, note this is all under my own profile for said reasons. Hey, I I have a quick question. Trash, your feed was filled with stuff other people did. Wouldn't your feed be filled with the things you did? No, this is all under So, I'm not using like a real feed for right now, but this picture was under my wife at one point in time, which I am not allowed to do that anymore.
So, I put it under myself for the demo. She's definitely going to be watching this. So, I love you, Candace. So, now So, yeah. Yeah. And then we have like, you know, laundry in my office. I do that all the time. So, my wife calls me out. She's like, "You're disgusting." I trash. I was like, "Dude, this is dangerous. I've seen your office every day." She could take a She could literally just take this podcast and say, "Look behind you." Yeah. Yeah, that's right. Yeah, we are. It gives you the tag in the bottom and everything.
And then let's see what we got here. So, this is a good thing. So, you can also use it for good and bad. So, I folded the laundry. I folded the laundry other day and I wanted to like feel good about myself. I logged it. So, why was the If you folded the laundry, why is it all over the floor? Yeah. Why is it on the floor? Cuz I got to show my wife that I folded it before I put it away. You know what I'm saying? Does that make sense? I mean, it kind of makes sense.
No, that makes sense. Trash. I'm following. It doesn't make that much sense. Yeah. I'm on TV. No. No. Guys, guys, guys, it's obvious cuz when he does it this way, he can spread it out. It looks like he did 10 times when it was put away. It's like five shirts to my madness. There's like my wife's clothes, my kids clothes, and blah. I do like I do like stacking in the middle and then putting them away by stack. And then when I do, it's like, "Everyone come grab your pile and then take them to your room." You know what I'm saying?
I I know what you're saying. No, you can't disagree with me. I'm right. Okay. So, here. So, say uh I wanted to go like Casey said something silly and I want to log it. You can hit this camera button and I can pick the receipt for him and then boom, camera mode. Yep. And then, you know, I can do a little I can do a video. You have videos as well. Or, you know, I can just do a regular photo or I can, you know, you just SWITCH TO SELF. H, you know what I'm saying?
And I can do all this stuff, you know, or or I can open up my camera roll, which I will not do cuz this is my actual phone. I will not do that. But you can, you know, take do it. No, no balls. No, no. I I have no balls in this situation. I don't know what's in there. So yeah, then I can log it and then boom. Bada bing, bada boom. Right. And so then you can go here. Hey, let's trash. That's pretty good. We got stats in our leaderboard. Yeah, we got stats. Like I just, you know, I snap five things.
I have a two day streak. Like you did some bad stuff for two days. You can see the top receipts, everything. And then you have like your config, which is like nothing crazy. Go premium. Whoa. Go back. Let's do premium. Your boy got paid features. You're only allowed to do receipts for up to three people. Anybody after that is $2.99. Okay. Or$2.99 a month. A month. Or you can pay 20 bucks for the year and it's like a 40% discount. You Whoa. If you want to support your boy trash, you know, you know, throw throw throw $2 at my face.
Okay. $3 trash. Oh, yeah. $3 is in fact $3. That's not my strong suit. But there you go. So then you go like this. Oh, let me show you the widget. Okay. So, say you're walking around and your partner just pissed you off. You're at the restaurant. They did something mad. But you don't have time. You don't have time to open the app and select the receipt. True. True. relatable. Say say they didn't split the bill and you're just like, "What? You kidding me? Boom. We got a split the bill with my wife, man. Just a hypothetical." Okay.
Don't Don't Okay. Sorry. Sorry. Let's say let's say say you and your and your friend your Friend. I'll be taking Yeah. Let's go. Let's just say me and TJ went out to lunch and he's like, "You pay." And I was like, "What do you mean?" So, boom. True. That would be good. That's snap of te didn't pay for didn't pay for this. But you know what? I didn't have time to pick the receipt because I just I only had time to snap the photo. So then I can change where it goes afterwards. So now I could say, "Oh, oh, let's go ahead and change it and let's go pick where else we need to do it." You know, and then if I don't want it, I can cancel it.
Nice. I like that. That's a good flow right there. I look like the kind of guy right now that would not split the bill with you. That would make me trash. Sorry. Michigan won yesterday, so I had to I had to get that chance. national champs. I forgot my wallet going out on like friend dates and so I forgotten the wallet. So I could see receipts being very useful for my friends. Snap a photo of me not paying for anything cuz I forgot my wallet again. Right. That is true. So I have all these user flows.
There's so many random user flows in this. Trash, I think you've done a lovely job. You are clearly a vibe coding champion and I commend you for that. But uh oh, this app is absolutely terrifying. Why have you made this? Why did you make this trash? There's a You know, a man hits a point in his life where enough is enough. So this is your FALLING DOWN THE EPISODE, BRO. She's gone. Okay, so let me tell you that. So I'm not allowed to use this APP ANYMORE. YEAH, THAT'S KIND OF my point a little bit.
Trash, BUT THAT'S KIND OF WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT. WELL, OKAY. WELL, that's fine. That's just me, not all. Maybe other people do it. So, I use it now for only good things or for good things. So, I'm like, "Oh, like that was a nice gesture you did today. Let me let me record it, take a little picture so I can just remember, go through my feed of all the sweet little nothings my wife and kids have done for me." So, you can use it for good things. It doesn't have to be only bad things. Like, at the end of the day, it's just tracking like whatever.
But you called receipts, right? Like, so I got receipts on your good behavior, Casey. But those are called like affirmations or compliments. No one calls those receipts. Like no one asks for receipts when they get complimented. Like someone's like, "Boy, you did a nice job yesterday." "Oh yeah, prove I did a nice job." THAT'S NOT A THING THAT HAPPENS IN THE WORLD. You can have this lunch for free. OH YEAH, SHOW ME THE RECEIPT. I got a scenario for you. Let's say someone on the internet is being mean to Casey and says, "Casey's mean all the time." Like, "No, bro.
I got the receipts. He's a nice guy." Oh, true. Okay. Trash plus. Boom. Head shot. Trash. Wait. Wait, I had to get a quick trash. Great point. I'm putting that in the receipt. All right. Trash. Is this an actual real app that's on the app store that people It's on the app store. It's only up on iPhone. So, okay. Android users can't use it. But got receipts on the app store. Five stars, baby. Let's go. Let's go. But no, like but seriously like uh I don't want to be I don't want to be addicted effort into this trash prime.
Show the default picture trash that you have for capture timestamped photo and video proof on the app store. What? Show the app store listing for the app. Oh, you want to see the app store listing? Yeah, I I want that to get shown after you say it doesn't have to be bad things and send them a photo. It doesn't have to be, but it should be. Got receipts. Uh, can you open that second that second photo there for us? TRASH. Whose sink is that trash? Yo, this is all AI generator photos. Dude, if this thing was in my house, I'd have an aneurysm.
I swear. Everyone have an aneurism. But that thing's trash. I agree. Capture timestamp photo and video proof. Scroll proof in the order it happened. M separate timelines for each person, streaks, totals, what shows up most? We got Does it sync between different? Like can you and your wife share the same one or it's just local to you? No, it's all local only. Local only. But I mean, you know, if uh this takes off, maybe I'll add some features. Pre I could see premium being you actually have a family that maybe you should maybe you should rename something different than family cuz that is so funny.
The family play. Yeah. Yeah. Which family would you like to destroy? But trash, if you have the family plan one, you have to recommend not buying it in a yearly one because it's not super likely that they'll make it through the entire year. Dude, I had this. Okay, here's this feature that I didn't put in because apparently the app store probably wouldn't like it. I had an expose feature where if you hit a certain threshold, you get an expose button and I'll make like some nice video for you that just like calls them out like in a cut scene like like a Google Photos memory thing.
Exactly. It's like a hype video. A hype video of just calling you out on your terrible habits. Dude, scing expose is so good. So that I might make that. We'll see. But apparently like if I do that I'm not sure if the app store will cuz it's kind of like defamation of like somebody. So how is it defamation? Defamation defamation has to be false. So I'm pretty sure you're if you actually have receipts those are true. Unfortunately maybe. So I guess in my head I'm picturing something like you know Peter Gabriel Salsbury Hill is playing and there's just shot after shot of a filthy sink like happening.
Is that like what we're imagining here? I I don't understand. I was thinking the sad dogs one. I was thinking the sad dogs and it's just Is that Sarah McLaclin, right? The sink slowly fading in and out. It would always come on like late night TV. Terrible. Uh so trash, here's the thing that I would suggest for this horrid app that should never have been made. I think it should have been made. I think it's great. This is the best app ever, Casey. This is terrible and so many lives will be ruined. Although, what I will say about that is I like I said, I don't want to be too much of a dick here and I and I am an Android user.
This is this is an Android phone. Okay, we're safe. So, I'm just going to This is kind of like you know when you say like when you make fun of an ethnicity that you are or something and you that excuses it, right? It's like I am an Android user and I will say that it seems like probably the best target demographic for this may actually be on Android trash. I'm just going to say really. Yeah. I mean having it only on one device sounds like divorce material because now my wife could keep receipts on me but I cannot keep receipts on her.
So like warfare. Tell your tell your wife to to download it. Let me start logging some things. Okay, my wife would love that, by the way. It is, but it is very asymmetric. I'm going to show her this app. She is going to definitely download it and we're going to use it. Dude, my wife is using it against me as we speak, but I'm using it for affirmations. I'm using it as an affirmation app. Here's a here's a monetization suggestion for you. So, I don't know if you have this feature yet, but I think there should be a feature where you set a threshold, right?
So, you go to a category, your dirty sink, and you set like a threshold of 10. That's just a like it's a number. Every time 10 new photos of the dirty sink have acred, it packs those into one JPEG, emails it to the recip the person who has you are targeting, right? I'm going to use the word targeting here because it does feels like what's going on. Oh, you're definitely targeting. It emails it to them and goes like it's happened another 10 times is the subject. It's like here are the photos of you living stuff in the sink.
The monetization part is at the footer of that it you sell ad space to divorce attorneys there. Oh, I've got one better. So, at the bottom it's like uh are you tired of receiving this horseshit from trashdev? Click here to file for divor or to to find divorce attorneys in your area. I've got one better than this. All right, trash. You ready for this? What's the best way to monetize anything? Loot boxes. Oh, loot box. Oh, what's the loot box? The loot box is after you go to the family plan, you can buy new loot boxes depending on your role, legendary to common, right?
Photos, receipts of yours that are on the other person's device get mysteriously lost. Oh, whoa. And the receipts disappear. I would also like to throw my hat in the ring of features. Pay to I'm gonna go I'm going to go off of Casey's. Let's say that you have a set of 10. If you attempt to email it and the other person's holding on to say 10 of yours. Oh, damn. They could cancel it out and say like, "Sorry, Uno reverse." Maybe hit you with an 11 and then you have to how many of them before you hit them with it because they could uno reverse you and actually hit you back only.
Dang. So, we're doing like one v ones, huh? Yeah, this is one v ones. This is one v one. Well, that's clearly what the app is set up to do. So, I don't know. You can be one v up to three people, but for 2.99, you can be one versus how many people you want. That's called a manua, by the way. That's management of three is what that word that's for management of three. Put your strap on and get in that. Put your Apple strap on. Well, this is for iPhone users, so you know. Uh, so when does Android land?
Oh, we can do it. As there's this demand, you know, I can uh me and my boy can uh get that up and running real fast. This actually took a lot of work with AI. This took a long time to like make it polished designwise. A lot of sinks could have been cleaned in the meantime, right? It's true. Well, I would The AI was at work while I was cleaning said sinks. Oh. Uh for I think this needs a company behind it. Terminal.shop. A A B I think that company name should be like Acrimony but would spelled weird like you know acrimony or like there's some kind Yeah, like something like And this should just be one app in a suite of apps.
Like I feel like you should start thinking of like other apps that make people unhappy and that help them spread that unhappiness to everyone else. which I think is Mark Zuckerberg's whole business model as well. Uh start at episode one of Black Mirror and just watch the episode. There's a piece of No, don't start at episode one. We've already talked about this. Start at episode two. True. Saying Netflix order. Yeah. Uh episode two would be the bicycling uh one. this was like unironically trash. This is episode 3, season 1, which is the entire history of you.
You you actually MADE A BLACK MIRROR. I MEAN, AS SOON AS YOU KNOW IT, I'm going to be integrated into like meta glasses so you can see everybody's receipt score on how how much of a piece of crap they are and it'll auto the AI like that's your next that's your big AI play is really trash. Why am I sitting here having to document these these transgressions by the other persons in my household? Why isn't the AI just finding all the things they did wrong for me and putting them in a big feed so that I know all the bad things about my family and can and tell them to their face, right?
Glasses, right? And you can just like tag the ones you want. If I see a dirty sink, I want you just to file it. Like just file it. I don't even want to think about it. It should auto strawberry. File it. No, but but you're not thinking you're not thinking about the AI future, right? Why am I even deciding that dirty sink is the thing? Why isn't the AI telling me how horrible my wife is for leaving the sink dirty? Why isn't the AI creating the whole like image of humanity that we demand of each other?
Isn't that a beautiful world we could live in thanks to acrimony.com? Casey, that's a great point, too, cuz it I'm pretty sure all of the LLM's advice is scraped off of our/ relationship advice from Reddit. And so, I'm feeling pretty confident that we'll be able to pick apart everyone else's position and confirm, yes, you are better than that person. You do deserve to leave. Am I the [ __ ] No, you're not. All right. Cam, by the way, I do I do have to read this. I do have to read this really quickly. So this is the entire history of you basic synopsis.
It's like a oneliner. This episode is set in the future where a grain technology records people's audiovisisual senses allowing a person to rewatch their memories. The lawyer Liam attends a dinner party with his wife becoming suspicious after seeing her zealously interact with her friends. And so he gets to rewatch every last little bit and has the receipts about how she acted. Trash. You've created a Black Mirror episode. MY BAD. I WAS LIKE I WAS like there's no coming back from that. So okay, hold on. Let me preface this. So before I built a receipts, I actually built it in a different version of an app for me.
Well, it was more of like an actual wholesome app where you document it, but I would actually like tell you like how can I approach the person, you know, in a nice way and like have some actual like building blocks and like dialogue. Exactly. It's like how can I bring this up without actually causing an argument or if they're an argument, how do you like handle the response? Right. So like, so it was called something called like littles because little things build up into something big. So like the icon was like a drop of water because drop of water become puddles, whatever.
So I had like a super nice angelic like theme was like all like spring colors and I had that aspect and I WAS LIKE NAH, LET'S GO TO THE BATHROOM. BUT THEN I THEN I WENT TO THE KITCHEN AND THERE WAS THE TOP of the strawberry IN THE SINK AND I JUST LOST IT AND I WAS LIKE THE HELL WITH THIS. THE HELL WITH CONSTRUCTIVE. THE HELL WITH IMPROVING PEOPLE'S LIVES. You left [ __ ] in the sink again. Godamn it. And here's the proof. And look, THE LAST TIME YOU DID IT WAS 7 MONTHS AGO. YOU THOUGHT I FORGOT.
I DIDN'T FORGET. LOOK AT THE PICTURE. LOOK AT WHAT YOU'VE DONE TO ME. RECEIPTS.COM. SIGN UP TODAY. Oh my god, it's so good. Trash, I do have an alternative suggestion. You know, instead of making it like just going back to your spring app where you like can take a photo and then get like coaching advice about how to kind of approach the situation, Uh you could just pick up the strawberry leaf. I do. And then just just forget it ever happened. Ever. I'm just kidding. You know, it's just I just wanted Josh. Honestly, it's not that bad.
I mean, people are going to ruin their life with it, but like that's pretty common these days. That's why the splash screen says use at your own risk. Yeah, that is probably I can't use it for what it was made to use. Like I I got banned after 24 hours. You already ran through your own risk. It was so funny. Every time I pulled my phone out my phone out, she would just like stare at me like she was going to murder me. I was like So trashing it's doing what it's supposed to. I have a question for you about you which is do you did this make you feel any better?
Like having made the app was it cathartic at all and now you're like okay with the strawberry in the sink or is it just a wash? No, it was just supposed to be the sink is not washed Casey. Okay, that's the problem. Strawberry. Poor choice of words. Poor choice of words on my part. I'm so sorry. No, it was it was more like just to be funny cuz it's it's honestly not that big of a deal. But it was but it's like when you do get a big argument. Yeah. Well, if if AI didn't exist, this this would have existed if AI didn't exist.
I wouldn't have put enough effort to actually make it. So that's like the So that's specifically the main reason why it does exist cuz pretty kind of low effort on my part part. I can still do other things while it's building. Okay. Um, but also cuz like the history about me and my wife, we're a very sarcastic couple. We talk trash to each other. All the time. You got your name? I think she just talks to you. Is that what you're trying to say? She talks to you. Yeah. You know, you know, but like But she's like me.
She's basically Oh, she's not like me. She's way better person than me. But we have a similar sense of humor when it comes to Just Can I say quick before we get farther? You should have put that way earlier in the episode. There is a chance she does not make at this point. Make a clip. Can you guys make a clip so I can show her that clip? Finally put a stinger at the beginning of the episode. It will be trash saying that coming soon. We'll save. Look, 53 minutes into the episode. I said you were a better person than me.
And then it's like, well, I didn't see that. It's like, well, I clipped it on the receipts app. Here it is. See what a GOOD PERSON I AM. YEAH. I'm more curious to see what she gets on me cuz I know I do a lot of stuff, but I don't remember. So, she's she's certainly put when she has a nice backlog, I I'll show it to you. Yep. Yep. Oh, that would be good. Receipts for the receipts would be good. Trash, I want to do an episode where where we need to go over your uh your download stats, your usage, some reviews.
We need to get We need to come back to this and see where the app is later like how we did. If it takes off, we'll uh we'll be putting some of those exposed features on there, you know. Viral. Okay. It's going to go viral. I do. Let's see. Casey or uh TJ does does Ka does Kaen have an iPhone? She does not. Okay. Cuz I was about to say we should uh have all the ladies get this and see and then we can know the one the this happened yesterday. I'm going to tell the story.
It's embarrassing. I'm on the phone with Prime yesterday. Prime I'm making coffee. I'm literally on the phone with them. I'm on a video call. I walk upstairs. I'm talking to Prime. I go I take out my terminal coffee beans. Amazing. Smells good. Ah, pour them in, grind them, get it ready, put them in the top of the my little mocha master coffee maker. P filling the water on the side. Start it going. Talking to Prime, washing the coffee. Go up. H, that's weird. The top's filling up. Not really paying too much attention. All of a sudden, the water's all the way at the tip top of the filter area at the top.
I real I just never put the carff in the bottom of the coffee. It was just filling up inside of there was nowhere for the water to go and then it spilled all over in my kitchen and it wasn't so good. So, that would be I know right away. I'm getting ahead of that story. I'm getting ahead of that story. Now, uh hashtag add though. Uh really quickly here, TJ, is there any particular reason that the coffee smelled so good and delicious, though? Oh, it was it was a uh special nil blend from only available at a terminal.
Event was pretty special. That's probably why I got so distracted just the coffee was so good. The coffee was so good that I wasted it all. I'm not. It's just overflowing into my kitchen and having to go outside and dump grounds out. But yes, it's pretty all right. Trash. We are going to I'll get my wife to install it and take some photos of the things I do wrong. And one month from now, we should do a little review of what the MS has found about. I'll make an Android version. I'll make an Android version.
And when I say Well, no, she she she has iPhone. I I'm just It'll be a comparison just for you and me. How bad are we? Okay. One v one. Oh, dude. My Yeah, it's a one v one. One v one. you. Oh my god. That's cheating. You're It needs to be longer than a month cuz we're going to be gone twice in the next month. True, true, true, true, true. Two months. Two months. Two months. Meet me on the playground. One v one. Trash. Who left the most out? Leader boards. Our leaderboards. I mean, we could we could do private leader boards, dude.
Private leader boards among a group of friends of who like Yeah. Like who's the worst, dude? Would be so funny to have groups of people in on it. Like, hey, man, check out what my wife got on me. Oh. trash. I'm thinking being able to set the the main receipt for a person in your like family so that when you share it with your friends, they can see that one, right? So like your wife shares your profile. She's got your here's like laundry on the ground again, you know? And it's like it kind of like chronic laundry leaving on the floor.
Doesn't just be it just sets your profile picture to whatever people have most often snapped of you. So your profile picture, like if you leave stuff in the sink, is just a dirty sink. Yeah, I like that. You are what you do. Well, Trash, that was terrifying. Like it should bring in It looks like a The app looks great, Trash. I just I'm mildly terrified. I'm just I'm just mildly terrified for humanity, that's all. Oh, dude, someone said achievements and badges. Oh, I love that. I love that. This repeat offender. It's a hot streak. Actually, if you do something a go if you do something good enough, it says like repeat receipt or something.
You get like a badge on that one. Yeah. Oh god. Okay. Well, thanks for sharing, Trash. I enjoyed that a lot. I'm going to go. I'm surprised I actually followed through and made it. I've been talking about it. I was like, you know what? I'm gonna I'm gonna make it happen. I'm gonna actually ship something to the to the app store. You know what, Josh? I think this podcast helped you ship that application cuz we've been referencing it so much. It It actually did. That has me rethinking everything. This is a good podcast for motivation.
Um, okay. Uh, Trash, can you at least give us one little blip about what was it like doing your first AI app? Oh, great question. I would say the hardest part was design, trying to get the AI to actually spit out something that looks good. So, If you still want Yeah. If you want to do Hey, hey, wait a minute. So, if you want to do design with uh with AI, it's a little hard. I was using this app called Pencil, which oddly enough, dude, I went to the Pencil Discord and ask them questions and they're like, dude, you're from the standup.
Why we know about Dude, I was like, what? I was like, I'm going to talk about it on the podcast. Come on. That's right. And then he almost forgot. Yeah. And then he almost forgot. Uh 50 how many how many minutes we in until we said your wife and now pencil. My wife is a better person than me and I use pencil. Hello to everyone on the Discord. And that's it for the stand up this week. If you want to watch it on Spotify or whatever. Yeah. All right. Hey, thank you very much for joining the podcast.
I hope that you enjoyed this. If you wish to watch these things on Spotify, we do have a Spotify. We have an Apple podcast and a brand new YouTube channel where you will get the entire podcast. Yes, the very long intro where we asked Trash, "Hey, do you like carrots?" And he says, "No, chocolate carrots." You'll get every last little bit of it all on YouTube. The clips channel will remain the clips channel and my channel will just have the main content on it for a little bit longer until at some point we'll just transition where it's only on the separate channel.
And TJ, please interrupt. Quick interruption here. Also, if you just if you're interested, you can just go to the standup pod.com. You can just download the audio. No, just straight up. Just we have the MP3s. You can just download them. You just download them and it's chill. So, just throwing that out there. That's more your speed. We've got that going too. You just put them just put them on a little USB like this. You can listen to probably every episode of the standup ever on just a little thing like this. Boy, boot up the day potent errors on my screen.
Terminal coffee and living the dream.
