WANDA XL
Mike introduces the 4th generation of WANDA, an illuminating 6-foot-long baton capped with high-power wireless speakers. In addition, he pitches the concept of a mobile app called "No Pitch" that is designed to reduce food waste by connecting restaurants with excess food to nearby individuals in need through a "pitching" and "fetching" process. To develop these products to fruition, Mike outlines his vision for Cauldron Labs, a business incubator within its parent organization Crimson Rouge Studios.
Hello everyone, this is Mike George coming to you live — well, live on tape — from the beautiful suburbs of Natchez, Mississippi. I want to show you a marvel I’ve been working on: WANDA Generation 4.0! I splurged a bit this time and upgraded her with JBL speakers. Because let’s be honest, I’ve developed some decent skill now with handling her, so we’re done with those cheap Walmart speakers. WANDA 4.0 is the valedictorian of Wandaville!
I’ve been spending a lot of time out in the sun on the bluff, so I’ve got quite the farmer’s tan going. And for you "pay-per-view" subscribers watching this…

I’ve got ants crawling on my hands; that’s how you know it’s springtime in the South! I wish I could flip the camera to show you WANDA properly, but it’s 2023 and my phone hasn't figured out that basic operation yet, so you’re stuck with me.
WANDA 4.0 is a wonderful little beast. She’s fully loaded, homemade, and Taiwanese-American engineered. She’s about twice as powerful as the previous builds. And you can have your very own WANDA XL for just 4 easy payments of $29.99 - or $120 in cash. I know that may sound like a lot, but remember, I’m just one person, not a factory in Asia mass-producing these things. This is my side hustle, and I’m really proud of her! If you haven't seen us perform together, check out Cauldron Labs on the Trans/Verse website linked..
Cauldron Labs is my business incubator for new ideas, inventions, and gadgets. for what I call the Crimson Rouge cluster-fu*k, and the goal is to get a bunch of nerds together to develop and commercialize these ideas - maybe even make a million dollars! WANDA is just the first step.
Also, I’m putting out a "request for bids" to anyone who can help me build this mobile app. Its goal is to reduce food waste. It breaks my heart to see restaurants throw away perfectly good food just because an order was wrong. The app would be a nonprofit version of something like DoorDash, and I’m calling it "No Pitch"—unless you have a better name.
It’s simple: there’s "pitching" and "fetching." A restaurant with extra food "pitches" it, and the app pings nearby users. The first person to "fetch" it reserves the meal and goes to pick it up. No middleman, no delivery driver — just connecting people who have food with people who need it. It’s a win-win. I tried to get this into a hackathon, but it didn't work out, so now I’m looking for programmers to help me make it happen.
Anyway, that’s the queue: a physical product like WANDA and a digital one like “No Pitch.” I’d love to hear your thoughts, especially if you have experience in app development or product design. I need to figure out an efficient process to get these ideas commercialized.
The weather here in Natchez is finally getting nice, though I feel like the honeymoon period with this city might be ending. Or maybe we’ll just call it a long, extended honeymoon! That’s all for now. This has been Mike George on a lovely Tuesday afternoon. Take care of yourselves, take care of your drug dealer, and take care of someone else. Toodle-oo!
