About this episode
What happens when YouTube's "Queen of Sh*tty Robots", Simone Giertz, gets diagnosed with a golf ball-sized brain tumor? Which of Simone's inventions has a striking resemblance to one of the MythBusters crew? Simone Giertz joins Kari and Tori to share her incredible journey from building hilarious useless robots (like the face-slapping alarm clock) to facing a life-changing diagnosis and brain surgery. Plus, Simone reveals the MythBusters inspiration that made her want to be a builder in the first place.Support Our Guest! @simonegiertz LINK TO OUR SPONSORS!https://linkin.bio/mythfits/Thank you to our Sponsor, Rocket Money!Go to RocketMoney.com/MythfitsPlease leave a review and make sure you SUBSCRIBE!If you are interested in advertising on this podcast email advertising@pionairepodcasting.comTo request Kari & Tory to be on your Podcast, Radio Show, or TV Show, reach out to talent@pionairepodcasting.comFOLLOW US:IG/TT: @mythfitspodcastYouTube: @mythfitspod 😎👕 Support the show - grab some MythFits gear:mythfitspodcast.comChapters0:00 - Opening and Dream Robot Discussion1:55 - Uncanny Valley Video and Robot Preferences3:53 - MythBusters Robot History and Favorite Robot8:31 - Rocket Money Sponsorship10:24 - Introducing Simone Giertz and Career Beginnings13:32 - Patreon Support and Early Success16:07 - Simone’s Early Projects and Inspirations19:22 - Simone's Brain Tumor Diagnosis and Personal Reflections24:05 - Robotics Opinions: Humanoid vs Creative Designs27:44 - Electric Pickup Truck Project Discussion30:12 - Future Robotics and Collaboration Ideas32:28 - Fan Questions and Costume Stories35:31 - Closing Remarks and GoodbyeThis podcast is for entertainment purposes only.
