Gardner and his family are the creators of an app called RunPee, which makes your phone vibrate during a new movie, notifying you when it's the perfect time to leave the theatre to hit the bathroom. 

The RunPee app is blowing up right now, thanks to Avengers: Endgame, which has been crushing box office records. This past weekend, it surpassed two billion dollars at worldwide box offices, making it the fastest film to reach that kind of ticket sale success. At more than three hours long, audiences have been flocking to Gardner's RunPee app to ensure they don't miss a major plot point or some great action.

Gardner joined q's Tom Power live from his home in North Carolina to tell us more about his brilliant solution.
