- How's it going, Marques?
- What's good? How's it going?
Good, good. I've been wanting
to get ahold of you for a while.
So, I'm doing this little thing
where I'm gonna ride a bunch
of helium-filled balloons
and try to go up as high
as I can go
and disappear into the sky.
Wow. Wow.
( chuckles )
That's pretty--
that's pretty awesome.
And you are the number one
tech guy in the world,
so do you want to see the stuff
that I have
to put this all together?
Oh, yeah. Definitely.
This is the balloon
that goes in all of the balloons
that will have all
of my equipment.
- Noodles, this is Marques.
- Hey, Marques. Good morning.
- Morning.
- Basically, David is going to
  ascend with his feet
facing the ground,
so we built an antenna
into his shoe.
- That's crazy.
- And then what happens once
  he cuts away
and goes into freefall,
he'll be belly to Earth.
And then the sensor
and software we built
automatically switches
the antenna.
That's impressive.
I don't even know how
you test something like that.
In testing,
everything has failed so far,
so...
- Okay.
- And I'm not joking.
Okay, so you're going to
broadcast this,
but you're going to be super far
away from, like,
base camp or whatever.
How does that work?
Yeah, I'm gonna have a piece
in the ear,
and I'm gonna have a mic
so I can talk back and forth
to everybody.
- Okay.
- I'm not kidding.
If communication drops out,
I'm in real trouble
because I have to know where
it's safe to jump down.
But if you could come,
all of my tech guys will work
with you,
and we can do a test before
I go up with the equipment.
Okay. That's the best idea.
It will be awesome if I could
actually be there
and, like, see this whole setup.
I think that would be
pretty sweet.
I'm excited for it, man.
