Hello everybody. It's Wayne here from eStim Systems and this is the third time that I am attempting to go live and hopefully everything is working, because I've done the usual trick 15 seconds before I go live I start to press buttons. Hopefully you can all hear me. We have literally just come back from a show in Germany when when I say literally, we actually came back Friday. The van came back this morning because we had to drive all the kit over and it's been a bit of a rushing around trying to get things back into storage etc. But it's been a very interesting week.
Speaker 1:We were at Eurofame in Hanover, which is a business to business show, so it's not your classic show, so it's a trade show. Hopefully you've seen a couple of the videos that we posted about it, particularly the setup, which wasn't too bad. Actually, we've got set up quite refined. When we do shows, we literally just rock up with a van, unload the crates and then spend three hours polishing everything because the cabinets need to be polished, they need to be nice and clean, and then we had three days of the show and then we have to do everything in reverse as well as jumping on aircraft to try and get back, and there is actually a plane that comes back from Hanover, which we jokingly call the Hanover Express, because it has everyone in the UK who's been to Hanover. We all get on the same plane and it's quite good fun and it was a very good show for us. It was great to see lots of people. It was great to see lots of people who are current stockists and also we've picked up a few people who hopefully fingers crossed will become new stockists.
Speaker 1:So we're moving towards having more stores in Europe. One thing that allows is you to go to your local store and hopefully purchase our kit from people you already know. So it gives us a bit extra there, not just selling everything on the internet. You can still buy directly from us on the internet, but we like to have stores dotted around Europe and in the US, but at the moment we're talking about Europe. So watch this space.
Speaker 1:There are going to be a few new bits and pieces appearing. Bits and pieces appearing yeah, one slight little thing that went slightly wrong. If you'd watched the last live stream, you might know that we were putting some new machinery into the workshops. Now eSTIM Systems. We build our own products in our own workshops.
Speaker 1:The problem is, after a while you start to look and go I need to have more production capacity, I need to have new machines that do things faster and better, more facilities. And then you have to get those machines in and, yes, it was a bit of a squeeze and then you realize that the machine is allegedly the same as the one you had before, but it isn't. So you then have to start going through code recoding for new machines and and there's been a few delays, which is why some of our shipments have been a little bit delayed, only by a couple of days. One of those delays was manufacture of a product which we were planning to launch at Eurofame, and we do have a policy that we do not launch anything unless we actually have stock of something on the shelves, and we couldn't launch it because we didn't have any stock of it.
Speaker 1:So those of you who are sitting there going, what's the new thing? What's the new thing? What's the new thing? I'm not going to tell you because we haven't launched it yet, really Sorry. The good news is it's imminent, but I'm not telling you what it is. And I'm not telling you what it is and I'm not going to be too precise on when it is, but I think the next live stream we will actually be showing it to you and hopefully by then it will be available. But it's purely and simply down to the fact that everything else has been so popular. We've been maxed out. Trying to get the new machines in and running and then get stock out to you and bringing anything new in.
Speaker 1:it's a bit of a nightmare and we go to shows and then because I out to you and bringing anything new in, it's a bit of a nightmare and we go to shows. And then, because I've got a bit of downtime, I then come up with my little black book and come up with even more designs. So we've got a packed list of things to do and a packed list of new ideas coming up. Unfortunately, the new stuff didn't appear, which is a bit of a shame, but it is coming. Anyway, the other thing that we've missed mentioning is the fact that it's actually our birthday. We have been around for 20 years 20 years doing Eastim, when we thought we might sell a few boxes when we started, and 20 years later, we are now making quite a few boxes and it's been fun and it's been down to people like you who sit here listening to me driveling on about nothing.
Speaker 1:Now, one of the things we did promise on the last live stream we're going to do a little bit of a backstage element here, so we're going to explain what we have in the studio. I know stunt cock and joanne are sitting there with their notepads out going right. We're going to copy that. We're going to use that one and that one. So the first thing we're going to talk about is the fact that I am sitting here talking to a camera which is mounted on a tripod, not really in front of me. Beside that is something called the BTS camera. Now, the BTS camera is just stuck off the side. It is actually a Blackmagic 4K with a very tiny little lens and that gives you a bit of behind the scenes view, but it doesn't give you as much view as you possibly like. You can actually see a big light here that's lighting me from this side, and you can just about see a camera over there which is one of my b cameras there. We are hello camera there. Now, this camera is a little bit special because it's mounted on a remote control, so I can actually do weird, wonderful things with it. There's the two main ones and there's the other side one. Incidentally, we do.
Speaker 1:Actually, if I go up, we're actually in an office. This is normally an office, as you can see from the lovely lime walls. If I now go up, you'll see a camera up there and a microphone. Now, one thing I'm really disappointed in we do not have a piece of wood holding our lights up or holding our microphones up, and I'm really disappointed that I think, joanne and Stuntcock, you've exceeded yourself because you have pieces of wood. We have that and I know it looks a complete mess. It's basically a lighting stand with a couple of bars across and another lighting stand, and that's how we hold two microphones up and then we've got an overhead camera.
Speaker 1:This is all controlled by a magical box of tricks which, for youtubers and live streamers, these have been game changers, these are black magic 8m switchers. This is the 8m switcher extreme. I think it is eight channels, so I can have eight channels controlling. Everything does audio as well. Everything runs off hdmi and I'm also recording the stream that goes onto a ssd drive. And then I have a laptop but that basically has some control software on there and it also has something called bit focus which allows me to create buttons and things which control this.
Speaker 1:Yes, there is a big bit at the top that says did you press record? Because last time I did a video from this studio and we use this studio to do our normal videos of how we use products and things like that I did a 20 minute video and forgot to press record. I did exactly the same thing in Germany. I did a walk around the show for about 5-10 minutes, I forgot to press record. I now put these little signs everywhere saying press record. So, basically, this is an office with a bunch of cameras set up and, yeah, you might notice in the background if I zoom in, there is a bunch of Disney toys. Now, before anyone starts complaining that we are doing something strange and corrupting the children no, we're not, but my guest happens to be a Disney fan and we actually use this studio to do live streaming for Disney podcasts and things.
Speaker 1:What's the make of your cameras? Okay, this gets a little bit complex. The camera, the main camera, is a Canon C100 Mark II, I think. So the one I'm currently looking at the moment is a Canon. My background back in my dark and distant past was actually press photography. Don't ask me about what I did then, but yeah, I used to be a press photographer, so I tended to go for Canon kit. All my kit was Canon. So I ended up with a Canon C100. And that was the first camera we bought.
Speaker 1:The rest of them we started to move over to Blackmagic. One of the reasons is they work. The quality is outstanding, they work really well with the kit that we use and they're relatively cheap, especially if you're buying them secondhand, which is what I'm doing. So we have a Blackmagic 4K, a Blackmagic 6K and a Blackmagic 4k, a Blackmagic 6k and a Blackmagic 6k Pro, and then we've got my little personal camera, which is a Canon M6, which is this one here and actually this one up here. The one up in the height is a Blackmagic studio camera, which actually is a little bit harder to use because we have to add in extra bits of wiring. So there's a SDI to HDMI box sitting there and a few extra wires.
Speaker 1:Once you bought into a lens collection, it just makes sense to stay with the same collection, and the simple answer is yes, completely agree. I used Nikon a couple of times when I first started as a photographer, but since then I've always used Canon and we have Canon lenses all over the place. The audio we run for a Rodecaster Pro, which we actually also use for doing some of our podcasts. You don't want to look at the floor? Cable management is not something I'm very good at, so I've got to chop that up.
Speaker 1:The benefits of having a studio means we can literally come in here and in 20 minutes we're ready to shoot. Come in here and in 20 minutes we're ready to shoot. When we shot some of our early videos, it would take us three or four hours to clear up enough space to actually create a reasonable background and then actually then record the video. Now with the studio, you can literally come in, shoot the video, take it home on an ssd and do the edits at home. I mean, I sometimes edit here, but it just gives you more, it's more convenient and you'll find that a lot of people who do YouTube they move from not having a studio to at least creating a tiny little space. You'll notice also a couple of our smaller videos. When I say smaller videos, the sort of the shorts and the vertical stuff just has a red background behind me and that's they actually shot in the corner of my bedroom with a tiny little 4K webcam and me sort of sitting there like this with a couple of lights. So you don't need to have large amounts of kit to produce videos. It just makes it a bit easier and hopefully it works most of the time.
Speaker 1:Couple of other bits we have IKEA cabinets behind us. I think virtually every home studio in the world has ikea cabinets. We have a on-air sign which was mankind and we also have a nice little lumetri clock, which I've just got working, so this actually flashes up how many followers, subscribers etc. We have on the various bits and pieces. But anyway, that's the studio. Now we're going to get on to the guest. Now, I admit I tried to get somebody else. I tried to get a guest that I'd been after for quite a while and she wasn't available this week. So I had to get someone else who actually is key to the company in so much that if it wasn't for this person, eastim Systems wouldn't be doing what they do now and probably wouldn't even started, because I would have just gone off and found something else.
Speaker 1:So I'm going to drag them in and I'm going to have to shift this way because I need to create some space it's a little one it's a little one it's a little one, it's a little me it's a little me, and so, ladies and gentlemen, I'd like to introduce you to Kaz who, who's also known as Wifey, because she does actually happen to be the wife.
Speaker 2:I'm also known as Voltiana.
Speaker 1:And she's also known as Voltiana. Oh look, we've got comments. We've got comments, Cren, no such thing as to get too much gadgets.
Speaker 2:Yes, there is Too many gadgets.
Speaker 1:Cren doesn't make eye contact with servers, switches, nas, ups, spare PC, guest, pc backup NAS. Great doesn't make eye contact with servers, switches, nas, ups, spare pc, guest pc, backup, nas tape drive. We'll, at some point in time I'll probably do a live stream from the workshops and the office, because we do actually have some servers that we no longer use, which we used to use in the office. I got told they were too noisy and there is a tape drive in there and there's several nazis and there's an awful lot of networking kit that we no longer use because we just don't use it anymore. So, yeah, you can never have too many gadgets, gadgets and gizmos. I have my buttons here and kaz has everything else I have a sofa yeah, you have a sofa, you like your sofa, so anyway, this is Wifey.
Speaker 2:Yes, I'm Wifey.
Speaker 1:Wifey's been around for a while in terms of Eastim Systems, because she sort of appeared at roughly the same point that Eastim Systems appeared.
Speaker 2:I just hope so.
Speaker 1:Because we first met on your birthday actually, wasn't it?
Speaker 2:Yeah, 20 years ago on my birthday.
Speaker 1:That's scary.
Speaker 2:That's very scary.
Speaker 1:Okay, I've got some questions for her.
Speaker 2:Oh dear.
Speaker 1:I didn't really tell her about this. I just sort of said you're coming on today, and she was like no, so bear with me if I waffle. Bear with you, I'll just cut you off. Incidentally, wifey also does Disney podcasts and YouTube.
Speaker 2:So we'll put the links up there and you can go and hence all the disney stuff in the corner.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we're the only e-stim company in the world that has stitches dotted all over the office just because you can yeah right, you can never have too many stitches.
Speaker 1:Anyways, one of the reasons I actually brought cas on apart from the fact that I want to talk to someone for the next 20 minutes or so was actually based on a couple of comments that were made at the Eurofame show and there are also comments that have been made overall, and a lot of people seem to think that e-stim is just for men. It is a very masculine hobby. Men tend to be much more external in their sensations, so sticking east in electrodes over ourselves is quite easy until you start sticking things inside, and then it gets even more interesting. But a lot of people assume that east in is male orientated and the honest answer is it isn't, is it?
Speaker 2:nope, it certainly is not male orientated. From a female perspective, it can be quite nice Quite nice. Yeah, just a little bit nice, hence the Mona which I happen to name.
Speaker 1:Yes, do we have a Mona here?
Speaker 2:Yes, we do. It's behind you, it's behind. It's always worrying when someone says and my bobble.
Speaker 1:There's a Mona and there's a bobble. There's your Mona.
Speaker 2:That's my Mona, one of my favourites.
Speaker 1:Yeah, hopefully everyone can hear you.
Speaker 2:Because, well, there's a name says it's a.
Speaker 1:Mona. Yeah, we did actually change the name of the Mona, because when we first created it it was Mona, as in the girl's name.
Speaker 2:No, it was.
Speaker 1:Oh my beep beep, oh my beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, god uh, yeah, it was that, but it was mona, as in a girl's name. And then a couple of stores actually said we can't sell it. Why? Well, because we can't sell a girl's name electrode in a gay store. Okay, so we changed name, so it's mona, as in moaning, and that's the history of the mona, and the mona is, I would say, yeah, I think it is our most, it's our most popular electrode.
Speaker 1:It's one of those depending on which day you look it's either going to be this, or it's going to be the mj or it's going to be the flange, but generally the mona is the most popular electrode nice flange base so it doesn't get stuffed in too far, and quite a nice separation between the head and the base, so you get quite a nice sensation over a reasonable area and it stimulates nice little bits outside as well and it stimulates nice little bits outside well, it depends how graphic you want it to go um joanne, it's my favorite electrode.
Speaker 2:So yeah, it's definitely joe, it's definitely one of my favorites as well, that with a flange and a sticky pad on tri-phase on a pebble yep, who's sitting there going?
Speaker 1:can I have a go now? No, and then we've got the the, the bobble my infamous design.
Speaker 2:I actually designed this one because I I was getting bored of having all the electrodes with the spacers being at the bottom. It's like that's great, but sometimes you want something a little bit different. So one night in my wisdom we're sitting talking about designs and I came up with a design for the bobble because I just wanted something that went a little bit further internally but also gave bipolar contact, inside as well as outside. And yeah, that's how the bobble design came up. And also because of the shape, from a lady's point of view, it's good for, dare I say, the ladies' pelvic floor, because when ladies get to a certain age, their pelvic floors become not so pelvic. And yeah, it's just a really good one for ladies and it is one of the favourite ones. And of course, it had to have a coloured neck. It wasn't a big standard boring black, it had to be coloured as well.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we won't mention the fact that that red plastic is probably the most expensive plastic on the planet. It's like it's red. And when you speak to the plastics manufacturers, they're like we do black, but we want red.
Speaker 2:And they're like oh, okay, I did initially want bright pink, but that was one of the cases of well, we can get you one size, but they would give you a piece of plastic that was that wide to do something. That's about that big.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it was a bit of a waste. It was a bit of a waste of materials though. Jo likes that and the large flow.
Speaker 2:The large flow is okay, but I find it doesn't stay in with me.
Speaker 1:Does it get a bit juicy?
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:I think that's the point where YouTube are now going to chuck us into the naughty corner Beep, beep, beep. Naughty corner. To the naughty corner. Naughty corner, naughty step. Sorry youtube, roy hat sorry, I'm late. Well, roy, you're gonna have to go and stand in naughty corner.
Speaker 2:I mean, joanne is already in there with I'm sure, roy, that joanne's got some spikes waiting for you in the corner do we have to mention spikes?
Speaker 1:I wanted to do a live stream with no mention of spikes I want spikes, oh no what is it? Here's a question for you, for those of you who've got partners why have they got obsession with spikes? Joanne has an obsession with spikes. You've got an obsession with spikes.
Speaker 2:I should have brought my spiky pinwheel.
Speaker 1:I'm saying nothing.
Speaker 2:And now he goes quiet.
Speaker 1:I'm going very, very quiet. What's your favourite box?
Speaker 2:Favourite box initially was a series one which, well, that was the first one that we helped. I sort of helped you sort of develop in a way, because you had the basic idea and then we sort of added bits and pieces, including that lovely fire button. You quite like the remote control especially. There is a story behind the remote control and I will diverge this story of being dressed like a bunny doing a range test. So when we say our remote's got a range of 50 meters, trust me, it is 50 meters. How do I know that? Because he had me hopping across a field dressed as a bunny rabbit. So, yes, that does work. What's wrong with that? And then the pebble, because I do like some of the modes on the Pebble and having the two outputs and having a bit more control. And, as I've mentioned, the Pebble with a tri-phase is definitely like, hmm, yeah, like that.
Speaker 1:I'm not mentioning the remote.
Speaker 2:Or is it the A-Box, the one we sang? Happy birthday to you with.
Speaker 1:Oh dear, Are you going to tell that story now? Oh dear, Are you going to tell that story now? All right, you can tell the story of the A-Box I remember developing the A-Box.
Speaker 2:We had gone to an event with some of our little boxes of fun and I had this one wired up to an A-Box and it happened to be his birthday and he had electrodes in interesting locations and the whole room sang happy birthday to him and gave him three cheers rather loudly and he felt every single one of them.
Speaker 1:I did. Joanne says she's getting the spikes ready.
Speaker 2:Good, Can I have some in my direction please?
Speaker 1:I'm not saying anything. Testing is good, right, we love testing. What about the lips? What are you making for that?
Speaker 2:you making for that um, but the flow, the actually for the lips, for the ladies, the flange electrodes, that wider base does actually sit on the lips quite nicely and depending on how you position it it can sort of hit also that exclusive little um. Can I say the c word? You can say what?
Speaker 2:you like it has, it does actually hit on some ladies. It does say you hit the head of the clitoris. So if it's in the right location it's just right. But also from a lady's point of view, two sticky pads outside of the clitoris works really well. Sticky pads combined with an insertable. That is quite a very nice sensation, especially if you've got it on a wavy format and also a sticky pad. There's one contact on tri-phase head of electrode in the front hole and then a head of electrode down the back on tri-phase again.
Speaker 1:That is really nice, that just gets like okay, someone's getting that. I must say, one thing that a lot of people ignore is sticky pads. Sticky pads are probably the most versatile electrode you can get, especially because they tend to stick to virtually anything. I mean, if you've got a bit of hair around, maybe trim it up and shave it a little bit, because, yeah, they do stick and they will pull hells out potentially. We did have the infamous I managed to stick a sticky pad to the cat.
Speaker 2:It wasn't attached, I will point it out.
Speaker 1:It wasn't attached to a box.
Speaker 2:The cat sort of sat down and we'd forgotten to put the pads back onto a carrier sheet and the cat sort of came up for a cuddle. And then the next day there's a cat.
Speaker 1:There's a cat with a little pad and a little wire. Yeah, that was interesting.
Speaker 2:But anyone who contacts the company by the telephone, you'll either get one of our colleagues, kay, or you'll get myself. Now I've had some very interesting conversations with customers.
Speaker 1:I'm not sure we need to publish these ones Over the time.
Speaker 2:I'm not going to go too graphic on some of the conversations that we have had. You do get the little man, little sorry gentleman, not a little man, a gentleman phoning up, normally of the older persuasion, and when they realize that they're talking to a lady on the telephone, you do get the I wish to talk about and they, yeah, they do get tongue-tied and it's's only when I sort of put it out there they go it's okay. So you want to stimulate your genitals? Yes, this is the box for you. No, it won't hurt, yes, it will give you pleasure, and it's oh. Okay, then can I order please? And then I do get the odd conversation where it does get the yes, mistress, whatever you say, mistress.
Speaker 2:Oh, yes, mistress conversation where it does get the yes, mistress, whatever you say mistress, oh, yes, mistress, I really like your mistress, oh, mistress say it again and it's just like it's the point.
Speaker 1:It's the point when they turn around and say, would you like me to put it in now, you start to go. This is not only fans. Thank you very much.
Speaker 2:Maybe calls back later I don't know if, if Joe ever has customers that sort of send graphic emails and that, but I've had a few graphic conversations with people on the phone and it does get a little bit awkward sometimes yeah, I think, at the end of the day, that's what we do for business, so we're quite happy to talk to people.
Speaker 1:Sometimes the issue is actually they're they're in their own offices and they don't really want to say certain words because other people might hear, which is perfectly understandable. We're quite happy to work around the questions in any way people wish, or just send us an email and be as graphic as you like. We have a number of customers who send us emails with them demonstrating how they use our electrodes there is still the picture of the decimator in use.
Speaker 2:We've actually had pictures of this in use. Yes, it was interesting Because Danny asked how many of the big ones we sell. I did mention more than you realised.
Speaker 1:Yeah, when I get engineering going, we're making more decimators. It's like, okay, yeah, and the decimator was something that we made initially, actually as a joke. You go into stores, you go into stores and they have large things. Companies build larger versions of what they do, just as display pieces, and we did that with the decimator.
Speaker 2:Unfortunately, people kept buying it and he was like we'll just make some more then I remember the first time he put it on display erotica back when erotica run, and this guy walked past and went oh, and he walked past again. I went, oh, and he walked past again, he went. How?
Speaker 1:much. We were like, um, um, I can't remember, in fact I don't know because I never really yeah, decided to sell it, but we gave him a price and he found that was quite reasonable. And yeah, that was the first one. And now there's probably quite a few professional dominatrix out there who've got them in their studios just to scare the subs. If you don't do as you're told, that is going up there and there's a poor little sub sitting there going no.
Speaker 2:I'll do going. Oh no, yes, yes, yes, whatever you say, I'll do anything, just not that.
Speaker 1:Do you think the Mona is the best electrode for a woman to start?
Speaker 2:with, I think, for a starting point for a woman. Bear in mind, I initially started with a little white plastic.
Speaker 1:That was the Veryprobe.
Speaker 2:Yeah, little white plastic thing Veryprobe, and that was the Veryprobe. Yeah, little white plastic thing Veryprobe. I don't think we've got one now.
Speaker 1:I don't think the Veryprobes were about this big and they were actually a medical electrode.
Speaker 2:A bit of history. I actually was experimenting with this before I met Wayne and I had a TENS machine and a little white plastic electrode. And I just found the TENS machine, just didn't have the oomph.
Speaker 2:So we created the series one you should actually have a series one over here, but we don't no, I think we have to get one out of the archive, but yeah, I used to have a little white electrode and then we came up with the flange and that was a nice starting point. Behind you you have the flange which is the baby baby brother of the mona or the baby sister of the mona. But it was nice, but for me it just needed something just a little bit bigger.
Speaker 1:Pass me the remote.
Speaker 2:Which is why we then went up for the Mona. But an ideal beginner one for the lady is Mr Flangey, your hands keep moving. There's my flange, because it's got that base at the bottom and, as I've mentioned this bit, when it's inserted it does sit quite snugly and it can hit the clitoris and it just gives you that internal and external. Yeah, when you're in the right modes, it feels like it's doing that inside you, which can be quite fun as well.
Speaker 1:That's the flange. That's the flangey. My wheezy camera thing stopped working at that point has it stopped working?
Speaker 2:Is it whizzed?
Speaker 1:I had an extra bit on my camera that would zoom in and zoom out, but it's not working. Battery's gone flat.
Speaker 2:If anyone's watching this and wants a female perspective on Easton, please drop us a message or drop us a line and I will happily go through where to start, and from a couple's point of view. Now, this is another area that I get asked and I deal with on a regular basis. Is you get the the gentleman from the couple email saying me and my partner wants to start what's a good point for her to? What should I get for her to fit? To start with, we do do intro kits, which are great fun, but one thing I will say is, when you get your kit, please don't tell her oh yes, you're gonna love this, darling, pop it all in and wank up the pot, ramp up the pot, basically crank up the power to full output, because she'll turn around and go not on your and that's it.
Speaker 2:You'll never play with it again she'll be stuck to the ceiling she'll be stuck to the ceiling and you'll be sleeping on the sofa. So my advice would be, if you are going to get this, to introduce it to your partner regardless male, female. Let them have the box to themselves and let them have a little bit of me time to discover what they do and don't like, and then they can feed back to you. That's okay on the say, for me on the Pebble. Okay on the Pebble. I like it in Flow, but I like A at 40% and I like B at 30%. Just let them do the feedback. That is a real good beginner's tip, because you want to enjoy this. You're investing money in these products. You want to enjoy the products, but you also want to enjoy them with your partners, and if you get the right combination and you communicate, it can work well.
Speaker 1:And then, of course, you dress them as a bunny rabbit. I didn't dress you as a bunny rabbit, you did that. That was the part the nature of the party yeah, it was a party so if anyone actually has any questions in relation to the female perspective of Easton, then Kaz is still here, so you can sort of talk to her now. But we are going to do a um, some videos about the female side of things and, joanne, we're probably going to have a chat to you as well, because, why not?
Speaker 1:and Sabah and Sabah, because there is that whole element of us. Men have a particular viewpoint of the way everything works.
Speaker 2:It's not a man's world.
Speaker 1:It's not a man's world, it's everyone's world and it's more fun.
Speaker 2:Men like things that go, buzz, ladies like things that make you go ooh.
Speaker 1:That's one way of describing it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1:So you've actually, do you realise, realize you virtually covered everything have I.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I didn't even know what was on your list you didn't even know what was on my list.
Speaker 1:I do. There are a few other bits and pieces on my list, one of which someone asked last week and said basically how do you develop new products? And initially I was going to do a little bit in here and sort of go through how we develop products and how we create new ideas and go through that whole process, but I'm actually going to do a whole video on it because it is actually really really complex and there's lots of little bits and pieces that we do, although one thing that did appear the prototype, the prototype, oh the prototype as a triple so we have the triple and if I put the triple there and then switch to that camera, there we're getting high tech here switching cameras.
Speaker 1:So this is the triple design. The first prototype of the triple is actually that doesn't look anything like what it actually is or what it ended up being, but that is basically how we created the first physical prototype of a triple. No, this one has never actually been inserted into anyone. That was the next one because it had a nice curved top and didn't have holes in the top. But this was almost a proof of concept to see if it was possible to create something, possible to do the engineering. And the answer is it was, and the triple is now officially the fastest selling eastim electrode we have ever created. We're just manufacturing them daily and they're going out. As soon as more stock gets on the shelf, more stock goes out the door, which is great. Roy, that's a very valid coin first time. Better to let partner take control on their own as they try it out. Completely agree, roy. The only thing I would say is, if they're controlling it and they're wiring it to you, that's always interesting.
Speaker 2:Just listen to the feedback If it's in that situation where you're in control say nothing to that one, shall we? I'm not saying anything, just listen to the feedback unless they've got a gag in their mouth.
Speaker 1:Although the worst time for developing, and particularly on power boxes, is there are times when I'm writing code and I'm testing the box and the code goes wrong and it's like it's happened. It doesn't happen that often because I'm a little bit more we are just human, we're not just buying it.
Speaker 2:I am not human. Oh, I could do that oh, no, no, no, do not press the button. No, you won't let me press the magic. Do not press the button. Save that for the podcast toothless eastern nerd.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I'd love to see the video on the design process. Um, it's planned it's coming it's coming um. The problem is I'm spending more time designing them and building them than it is actually videoing them.
Speaker 2:We've had some interesting conversations this week.
Speaker 1:Yes, there have been. Some new ideas have cropped up.
Speaker 2:And there's been some odd things that we've seen at Eurofame as well.
Speaker 1:Yes, when you wander around other stands, and one of my pet hates in the industry is the way that companies will farm out a lot of their production into china, and there were a number of stands which were basically chinese manufacturers doing the ah, I make that one for you exclusively and they'll offer the same product to somebody else and you look at it and go that's very much like a satisfier or layla, and it is. They've copied it and yep, you see lawyers sometimes walk around with cease and desist letters saying you must take those down, and we did see one stand once completely closed down there was a stand this time that was all taped off and stripped bare, so I don't even think they made it past the set up.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I don't think they passed the set up on that. Joanne says we can't get hold of triples fast enough. They are amazing, yep, I completely agree.
Speaker 2:The answer is Joanne order more.
Speaker 1:Yeah, just order more.
Speaker 2:As soon as they're ordered, they'll get on to production. I would just go and wire up engineering to the remote, shall I? That could be entertaining. Make me some more triples. Make me some more triples. What do you?
Speaker 1:need today triples. The good news is, with the new machinery that we put in place, things are improving. Um, we were actually working this weekend.
Speaker 2:Well, I was in yesterday.
Speaker 1:I was unpacking and whilst you were unpacking, and yeah, we're translating the stuff over across the new machines, which will give us probably a 40 increase in terms of manufacturing capacity and things. Just they're faster. We have a hello there from Dutch guy.
Speaker 2:Hello Dutch guy.
Speaker 1:Hello Dutch guy, we're coming to see you next year because Eurofame next year is actually going to be held in Amsterdam.
Speaker 2:Ah, is it Amsterdam?
Speaker 1:Yes, we will be going for Amsterdam and all strop waffles. We like strop waffles.
Speaker 2:I think we got some actually from the last trip. Next year, Eurofame is in the Rye Amsterdam, so that's going to be an interesting one it is, and of course we're back in sunny Barcelona.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we're doing a show in Barcelona.
Speaker 2:And we'll also be doing a show in the US. Yeah, back to America, burbank.
Speaker 1:Strange enough, we were actually chatting to one of the guys who now runs ETO Magazine. Eto Magazine is a trade magazine for the UK, although they're actually expanding into Europe and it's a fantastic magazine. If you're in the industry and you're interested in what's going on, go and log into their website it's Erotic Trade Only and get yourself a copy of the magazine. I think it comes out six times a year.
Speaker 2:At the moment it's quarterly. It's quarterly, but I think it's going to be more. It's a really good magazine.
Speaker 1:It's a really good magazine, but we were talking about the lack of shows in the UK. One of the problems is the sheer cost of doing a show. Unfortunately, when you go to somewhere like the NEC, they're going to want large sums of money to put on a show and the minute you say it's an adult show, that large sums of money gets even larger because they think that something dodgy is going on.
Speaker 2:What's Kurt's comment?
Speaker 1:Anyway, everyone's talking about strop waffles now.
Speaker 2:Oh they're nice. Nothing like a strop waffle.
Speaker 1:Stuntcock is outside playing with his violet wand. Yeah, Stuntcock, can you stop playing with a violet wand please? I don't know what's not going working.
Speaker 2:But it's one of those techie things that probably somewhere it's our turn for the tech bug. Yes, our turn for the minions.
Speaker 1:I know what it is anyway, I think we're gonna stop, because it is getting a little bit jerky and bumpy, zap, zap, zap.
Speaker 1:Yeah, maybe loose cable. I'm for the problem with a loose cable. I'll switch back to my bts camera if it works the problem we've got with cables. So here's the laptop. So, as you can see, one laptop, strangely enough it isn't jumping around a little bit. And now when you look at the cables, that's how many cables we have to deal with. And yes, the red one actually isn't a cable that we actually use. So I don't know what's happening on that one. It could be a case of we've got an issue this end, or it could be a case of we have an issue on the system going up to stream yard. Who knows? I I will analyze it and have a look and hopefully I said the naughty word, yeah it was.
Speaker 1:kaz said the naughty word, and youtube have found out. Yeah, so next time we might actually try something a little bit different and use the direct to YouTube feed. So we'll see what happens. Anyway, I'm going to try pressing another button. That's the boring one.
Speaker 2:That's the subscribe.
Speaker 1:What's the difference between the 2mm and the 4mm cable for the Ebox 2B? More since I, do you mean the cable or do you mean the loops? Do we have some loops floating around?
Speaker 2:here's one I made earlier that's four mil.
Speaker 1:Yep, so if you mean the cables, the cables. The only difference on them is the size of the plug, and there's only a couple of things that actually require a two millimeter cable. So you're looking at two millimeter loops and you're also looking at the sticky pads. Everything else is four millimeter. So these are four millimeter conductive rubber loops. These will use a four plug or four millimeter cable. The two millimeter ones are a little bit thinner. In terms of the sensation on the loops, the two millimeters tend to be a tiny little bit sharper. Um, yep, it was loops.
Speaker 2:So, yeah, they tend to be a little bit sharper it's more to the contact area because the two mils are quite thin. They are a bit. They can be more intense yeah, so that's the difference.
Speaker 1:The two milss a little bit sharper, four mils slightly more contact area. You can sort of get around it by putting in some bit more conductive gel and try and smooth it out, but that's the main difference between the two. Why do we do two different ones? Well, because we do two millimeter cables for sticky pads and all of our units have sticky pads in them for sticky pads, and all of our units have sticky pads in them. You have that element of we need to put those in in order to use them for sticky pads. And then we wanted something that was simple to use, so we had the two millimeter conducting rubber anyway, hopefully it's been entertaining.
Speaker 1:Hopefully we've managed to answer a few questions. We are going to do some extra videos. So we're going to do a video on how we actually do design process and going through prototypes and things like that. Kaz is going to be doing some videos talking about the female perspective. Now you tell me yeah, but at least you'll be live, I've got enough to do. And the next live stream. It will be the end of next month, end of October, end of October.
Speaker 2:So it's, last.
Speaker 1:Sunday of the month at 5pm. Fingers crossed, there will be some news on that one. Thanks very much, really enjoyed it. Once again, thank you, david. This is the reason why we do this. Well, that and the fact that we watch Joanne's and just see how much fun they enjoy it and then go. We must do it, but anyone, anyway. Anyone enjoy it and then go. We must do it, but anyone, anyway, anyone. Thank you for watching everyone. Thank you for joanne and stunt, cock and sabar, because they're the ones who inspire us to do this.
Speaker 1:And don't forget, they do a live stream every single week although we did give you a week off this week although we did give them a week off because they were going to do a live stream yesterday and then we pointed out we were doing a live stream today. Therefore they said oh, we're not, we're not going to do live stream yesterday which is thank you very much, we'll give you a week off, guys. So we probably actually got some of that.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, Great Thank you. But yeah, they'll be back next week somewhere drinking cocktails. We'll probably be in here actually because we'll be prepping some other bits and pieces. But anyway, thank you for watching um. Thank you creme, thank you danny, thank you everyone for listening and putting up with the look, jerky, jerky bits. I am intrigued now as to what was going on anyway, thank you everyone, thanks for watching, have a good one and, whatever you do, please be safe and hopefully. I'm going to press a button now and this is going to happen.
