Welcome to episode 43 of Curiosityness. And dude, I got to interview the inventor of the waterbed.

Charles Hall was awesome to talk to you. He created a whole industry. He created the entire

waterbed industry. And it was really cool and awesome to talk to him. So I think you're really

going to like this episode. We talk about how it all started, you know, him in college and this

kind of being his, his project and thesis and everything like that, which led to his first product,

the pleasure, here once a second, what's it called again, the pleasure pit,

which is pretty sweet. And then, you know, just how that led into his company, led into like a

bunch of knockoffs and patent infringement stuff and eventual demise of his company, but the rise

of the waterbed industry. It's such a cool crazy story.

You're definitely going to like this. And then we also get into, he's coming back with a new

company. His new waterbed is called a float and it's got a bunch of new technology and features

that he has wanted to implement. So it's pretty cool. We talk about that. And just as a

heads up, this is not, I'm not sponsored by him or anything like that. I just, I just really appreciate

what he's done and love his story. So it was really fun to have him on. And I'm glad that

Charlie made the time to get on. So that's about it. Without further ado, here is Charlie Hall,

the inventor of the waterbed. Hello, Charlie Hall. Welcome to the show. Super excited to have you on.

Hi, Travis. Good to see you or talk to you. Talk to you. Yeah, no, this is crazy.

You're the guy. You're the inventor of the waterbed.

Right. Yeah. Hard to believe it's been 50 years since the introduction to that.

And it's coming around again. So it's kind of exciting to see the new version I came up with

about two years ago in testing and kind of revisit the original product and update a lot of

things. Yeah, it is very cool. It's awesome, exciting. I have a lot of questions. I'm very, very excited
