Watch inventor Vincent Dooley stumble through an audition, explaining how his name spells “invent” and “destiny” while describing his inventions and animatronic bird.
0:01 And that's the test, and that's the test, and that's the test. 0:07 My name is Vincent Dooley, and I'm 25 years old, and I'm an inve- and I live in California, and I'm an inventor. 0:12 Do you know, I'm gonna do it again. My name is Vincent Dooley, and I'm 25 years old, and I- and I'm an- and I'm an inventor, and I live in California, and I'm an inventor. 0:22 Okay, flip it. 0:24 I believe that I would make a good s- subject for the documentary, because the letters for the word invent can be found in my name, Vincent. 0:34 And it... 0:37 There's the bird up there, do you see it? 0:42 It dropped something on me, it dropped a pebble on me. 0:47 I actually built that bird. That's a, it's not real, it's actually an animatronic bird, and I built it, and it p- I, I programmed it to perch on the roof. 0:57 And then I've p- programmed over 36 different types of bird calls into its vocabulary. 1:02 And the one you're hearing right now is, um, a Northeast carrier pigeon call. 1:08 I'm working on a new model that's going to come out next year, and it's going to have over, over 500 programmable dialects. 1:16 The word invent can be found in my name, Vincent. All the letters for the word invent are there, and then my middle name is Yestinad, which includes all the letters for the word destiny. 1:29 So my name is, in fact, Invent Destiny. I don't think you'll find, I don't think you'll find anybody else who has that much of the word invent in their name, unless you found someone whose name was Binventor or Tinventor, 1:56 but you won't find anyone who has that name. All right, flip the card. 2:00 There's many, I have many inventions that I'm currently working on, some in in early stages, some already through and that are ready for the assembly line, and then still yet some others that are only in what we call the embryonic stage, 2:15 which mean- which means that they're a little more than an idea, but ideas can change the entire Earth. 2:24 Invent your destiny. I did. Can you see the blowtorch? Invent your destiny. 2:30 I did. Stop rolling, I'm gonna take this helmet off. 2:35 What's the last question? Turn the other card. 2:39 Yeah. Hold it steady. Stop that. Golly day. 2:45 Okay. Very few men have stepped into this world and have... 2:53 If you were holding them more steady, there are very few men who can say that they have lived to their fullest potential, that they have fulfilled all their responsibilities and all their duties bestowed upon them on this earth. 3:04 I am such man. I am such man, such dutiful man. 3:11 I am such man. I am such dutiful man. Wait, get it closer. Yeah. 3:18 Invent destiny. 3:21 I'm gonna do that again, because that was good. Okay. Invent your destiny. 3:26 I did. Once again, my name is Vincent Dooley. I'm 25 years old, and I live in California, and I'm an inventor. 3:36 Take me.
