The speaker tried to get a restaurant service robot for a MrBeast video in Japan. A language barrier with the restaurant staff killed the idea, even after offering to rent, buy, and return it. What looks like a crazy idea overnight usually takes months of failed attempts.
MrBeast, the video where we were in Japan for the vacations video and Tyler goes, "Klitz, how cool would it be if the boys just walked around Japan with one of those robots at the restaurant? It'd be so fucking cool. How do I get this robot?" And so I'm calling the restaurant directly. "You guys have these robots?" And it ends up the guy, English wasn't his first language. So I didn't know how to talk to this guy. I was like, "Well, I want to rent it. What can I do? You tell me. It's your robot. I'll buy it from you if I need to. I'll return it. What do you want?" And I just couldn't get past it.
