[00:04] of emails. Some of them normal, some of them with stuff you would never believe. And so, I say no to 99% of the emails I get. Seriously. And so, as a result, I get. Seriously. And so, as a result, I miss out on we miss out on [music] a lot
[00:18] miss out on we miss out on [music] a lot of the crazier stuff. But what if, of the crazier stuff. But what if, [music] just for fun, I said yes to everything again. So, I did this a couple years ago
[00:32] believe some of the stuff that shows up in my inbox. That's how we ended up with a casket in the studio, which we still have, by the way. Top comment on that year, but at random times, so they don't know when you're saying [music] yes to
[00:44] everyone." So, that's how we ended up here with this toilet. Is there a tech angle to this toilet? I guess kind of. Yeah. The email said uh smart toilets are rising in popularity and the Amazon listing reads smart toilet with bedet
[01:00] listing reads smart toilet with bedet builtin auto flush auto open close lid builtin auto flush auto open close lid foot sensor heated seat warm water wash warm air dryer deodorizer nightlight remote control. White rolls right off
[01:14] the tongue. I know. I guess that counts as tech. But I don't plan on installing this toilet and all of the plumbing and electricity that this requires. I I'll leave that to the toilet reviewers, I guess. Uh, but I will mention it does
[01:28] come with this remote, which is tech. This remote took 10 seconds to pair to nice. There's a blinking light on the remote and a blinking light inside the bowl. That's how you know it's pairing. Uh, this remote also takes AAA
[01:41] batteries, which were not included for the $800 price tag. That was not nice. actually a toilet reviewer. So, normally when this hit my inbox, it would be a pretty quick no. But for the rest of these items, I will tell you why it
[01:56] would have been a no in case it's not already obvious. So, let's get into it. All right. So, our next item is called the laptop. And before I show it to you, I just want to throw back maybe like 10, 12 years ago. I got an email from a
[02:12] company from Alaska called the G-screen Space Book. Anybody remember this? This was a dual screen laptop. You opened it up, you slid it out, it was two screens. was amazing. I never got my hands on it, but I was intrigued by the idea. And
[02:27] this pops in my inbox as a triple screen laptop. Now, you're probably wondering, you open it and have three screens next to each other? Don't worry about it. They've thought about it and this is the best that they could think of for three
[02:41] because you need three screens. Okay, here's the first. This is the top of the magnet. It's going to make more sense later, but you can open it up right here later, but you can open it up right here and boom, there's your first screen.
[02:56] Normal laptop. Totally normal. Nothing not weird about this laptop at all. It's got that Intel Core Ultra 7. It's got 32 gigs of RAM. And it's got a terabyte of other two screens. You don't even need those right now. But what if you do need
[03:09] them? Oh, okay. Yeah, no problem. Hold on. Just give me a second. Just going to have to pull that over here. Like that. And then this magnet
[03:21] here. Like that. And then this magnet connects them. Perfect. And now now I have three screens at the same time. So this is pretty insane. Obviously, uh I'm not sure of a lot of things to be honest. One, okay, when
[03:35] this layout? Right now, they're all mirroring each other. You can have them one, display number two, display number three. They are all in fact touch screens and all independently will work. Uh okay, I have these mirroring right
[03:50] Uh okay, I have these mirroring right now and this extending. But like coffee shop with one of this, respect. Uh, you're clearly doing a lot of work.
[04:02] days of like the Samsung Galaxy Fold. Remember the first ZFold where it was like, okay, it was clearly a pretty bad phone, but it folded in half. And that was kind of amazing. That one interesting technology made it worth
[04:15] overlooking a lot of other pretty fundamental downsides that made it a bad phone because we knew we'd eventually get to some place where it was better. The fact that you have three different displays and this much uh screen real
[04:28] estate is kind of cool and maybe worth overlooking the fact that trackpad's kind of bad and the laptop itself is not particularly fast. Here's I'll show you the one trick that it has. Right. Okay. Here's a cool trick. You can fold this
[04:42] Here's a cool trick. You can fold this up, fold this down, and like this right side up. It is a regular laptop. But if you want dual touchscreen, you flip her over and then you open her again. Dual touchscreen laptop on the other side.
[04:57] Yeah, it's an idea. It's a two out of 10 product, but it's an idea. All right, this here is the Garmin Circa. This is a you've been on this channel for a minute, you probably already know that
[05:12] fitness tracker and the alternative, which is the other Google Fitbit Air screenless fitness tracker. So, this is spent a couple of days with it. We've also had Andrew at the studio spend some
[05:25] time with it and we've talked about it on the podcast. So, we are actually very familiar and this is something that I would say yes to. And it's interesting came to on this is so it's $200 outright, no subscription. It's clearly
[05:38] aiming at the Whoop to be a puck on your wrist that is comfortable, that doesn't has all the functionality of tracking you all the time. And it actually has a example, there's a button on the side, which none of the others have. So, a
[05:54] customizable button that lets you start a workout, which is super convenient if pocket. I also happen to really like the band. This is a the blue band that it colors, but it's soft, it's fabric, it's stretchy, and it attaches by Velcro.
[06:09] Honestly, I think this product would be much more impressive if it came out before the Fitbit Air. I think the Fitbit Air actually nails the form factor a little better. It's a bit smaller, narrower, pokes off of my wrist
[06:21] about that if you want, and it also offers a lot of data without a required below to uh DC Rain Maker. He did a lot of testing about the data and the accuracy of these things. So, this versus the Fitbit versus the Whoop. And
[06:35] in there if you really care about that sort of thing. My conclusion is that I probably wouldn't get or recommend the Garmin version because it feels like a slightly less elegant Fitbit Air, but as a product as a whole, like a 6 and 1
[06:50] half out of 10. But speaking of Whoop alternatives, I promise. Imagine spending $1,000 on a smart toilet when you could actually smart toilet when you could actually just get the smart toilet top um and not
[07:05] the whole toilet itself and measure all kinds of things uh for $200. I didn't plan this. This is the Casana smart toilet seat. As you can see, there are
[07:18] some like electrical leads and a bunch of really obvious uh pieces of metal on the toilet because yes, unlike the other smart toilet that I looked at in this sentence. Uh this is going to measure a whole bunch of things like your heart
[07:31] rate, like heart rate variability, like your breathing rate, your stress levels. Uh there's an app on the app store that shows all this stuff to you in real time. There's a stat called duration for some reason. Also important to mention
[07:45] since it is a Whoop alternative competitor, this also has a subscription fee. Okay, so you pay the $200 and on the website it says for the 1999 bucks you get this and the first year for free. And then once that year is over,
[08:00] you pay an additional $10 every month to keep using it and keep getting that data even though you already own the thing. This is why people don't like Whoop. have said yes to and as you can tell I haven't actually connected it and tested
[08:14] it myself. But looking at it, I don't think I would want something like I mean it looks so the cold metal. I just I don't know if this is I would rather have the Garmin than to measure my blood pressure and heart rate with this. Four
[08:28] out of 10. All right. So this thing here, this is called the busy bar and it does exactly what it sounds like it does. It's a button that tells people
[08:40] that you're busy and then it tells you how long you're and then it tells you how long you're busy and then you can pause it and then it's it's actually kind of fun. I I didn't realize how much fun this could
[08:52] products that you would get as a gift for someone that you don't know very well and they kind of have everything already, but maybe this would be their setup. So, it's got this app on the phone where you can set yourself to
[09:05] being busy for a certain amount of time and then it will sync with this obviously there's a bunch of other things it can do. I think it's kind of awesome. It's clearly overpriced at $200, but I find this button very
[09:20] satisfying to press. The animations are nice. The screen is nice. It's like annoyingly fullfeatured and does a lot of stuff all from the simple concept of just like a busy button, a Pomodoro timer. What I also like is it has smart
[09:33] home connectivity as well. So, you can have your Google Home or your Alexa or your HomePod talk to this to tell it to say certain things as well. Cool gift. $200 or so. It's pricey, but I don't mind that. I'm giving it an 8 out of 10.
[09:47] Why not? It's fun. I think things should be fun. All right. Here we have now be fun. All right. Here we have now Mondo Robotics Benny Robot. This This is one of those things that made me glad that I said yes to everything because
[10:02] this is something I ordinarily would not have said yes to. A small friendly camera robot on wheels that will follow you around and then I get the email and I click on their website and it's got a ton of videos that are absolutely
[10:16] insane. Videos that don't really look real. Some of them look real. Some of them honestly to me like the skateboarding one look AI generated as well. My red flags are up. I'm extremely suspicious, but I say yes to it anyway
[10:30] because I'm saying yes to things. So, this this shows up, right? Uh, and it's got this little controller here as well. It's got these little ears and it has an app. And it turns out uh it does literally everything it says it does.
[10:44] So, just a little bit of a breakdown. This is the robot's face/ head, but and these eyes will light up in a second. This is a Kickstarter, so it's not necessarily a completely finished product yet. But then on the back, it
[10:57] came with two batteries that kind of just pop out like this, just like a drone. Double tap, just like a DJI drone. All right, so now I'm connected to it on my phone, uh, which gives me a firsterson view of the camera and lets
[11:11] phone app over the controller. So I'll go ahead and just fire it up. Press. Okay, so the app is showing me the camera feed. I can have the robot look up, look down. Uh, typically it's pretty good at tracking a
[11:27] person, which we'll get to, but I can also have it jump. I'm not even joking. I'm going to press the jump button. Jesus. Oh my god. Okay, it can do a Jesus. Oh my god. Okay, it can do a flip. A front flip. Sounds cool, right?
[11:39] Oh, [laughter] >> wait, wait. I swear I can do it. I've never seen it self-eject in a front flip
[11:53] never seen it self-eject in a front flip before. Bang. Okay. Okay. It can do a before. Bang. Okay. Okay. It can do a front flip. front. It can shoot 4K footage. It has object avoidance, kind of like a drone.
[12:07] tracking and following a person, it will actually avoid the things on the ground in between him and the person. Uh, shoots 4K 30. has uh different speed the table in front of me. It's in low speed mode. I'm not trying to go as fast
[12:23] as it possibly can, but Benny in sport mode can go 18 miles per hour as it follows either you or a pet or whatever you want it. You literally just tap the
[12:36] box over the subject in the viewfinder in the app and it just follows it. It's fallen off of this, but it's also like crashed into things. is basically all plastic. Uh it's I've got footage of it like slamming into cardboard boxes and
[12:50] table legs, which is not what it's supposed to do, but it's charming that There's even times where it's tracking something or I'm I'm like going it like nicks a leg on a table and it like kind of falls a little bit, but then it gets
[13:03] up really quickly. So, this whole self-balancing gimbal part like it seems to very it's very durable and able to recover and get back into a normal stuff like that. I mean, it's it's pretty good, man. It's it's generally able to
[13:17] get back on its feet. Benny robot. Shout out to Benny. Sorry, I shouldn't. You're right. I shouldn't pick you up. Sit. It's a 10 out of 10. What else do you Clearly, I wouldn't have said yes to it, but I'm glad I did, and I'm probably
[13:32] going to get another one. All right. Next up is Next up is a mouse. You can tell by the brown and by the fan inside that it's a Noctua mouse, but it's a collab. Noctua, as as
[13:46] some of my nerdier viewers well know already by now, uh makes PC fans, brown they've lent their name to this mouse to Pulsar Noctua wireless mouse, but I'm going to plug it in because I want to make sure it's
[14:01] getting all the power since it's fresh out the box. And I took the little plastic off the bottom. I right off the bat I already noticed it glides really nicely. And this is from someone who's used about 10 mice in my whole life. But
[14:14] it's super super light. 42,000 DPI. That is insane. All right. It says here to turn the fan on. Hit side buttons two and three and scroll up. You can hear and three and scroll up. You can hear that, right? It is full blowing air onto
[14:28] No more sweaty palms. I've never had an issue with sweaty palms. Okay, so this on the box, it says three-step control, off, speed one, and speed two. But there's actually five uh just from me trying this out. Light blue, up to dark
[14:45] blue. Can you see that? Up again to green, and then up again to yellow. And that's the fastest fan speed is yellow. I'm not mad at it, and I'm not a mouse reviewer, but now that we're here, I'm pretty impressed. Sure, why not put a
[15:00] fan in a mouse? I'm going to give it an eight. All right. So, next up is this little thing right here. This is called the Cardia 6L Max. And you might be What What is this tiny little handheld device that you're you're putting on
[15:13] device that you're you're putting on camera here? Uh, this is a personal EKG device. And so, it does exactly what it says. It's a medicalrade personal EKG. It's 130 bucks. Now, the thing to note here is I am not a doctor. Actually,
[15:28] that's not true. Technically, I did get an honorary doctorate degree when I gave the commencement speech at my alma mater, which means I am a doctor, but I'm not really a medical doctor. So, it's pretty obvious why I wouldn't say
[15:42] yes to something like this. But what I do know is I've taken EKGs on other like Watch. I know you can take an electroc cardiogram, so that's ECG. There's also basically instructs you on how to do it. There's multiple points of contact. You
[15:56] see these metal contact points on the outside here. There's also one on the back. So you grip on both sides and then you place it on your leg for a third data coming in from all different angles. So when you buy something like
[16:08] this, you get the hardware. You also get a one-year membership to Cardia Care, which is essentially a way for doctors to then get the information from the this and then do all the work yourself. You have the doctors look at the data
[16:23] a better better picture of your your heart health. And ideally, if it's as accurate as it says it is, then I don't see why it's not an 8 out of 10. Again, I'm not a doctor. So then the next thing is the Honor Robot Phone. They sent me
[16:38] an email and their email said, "Can we come by the studio and show it to you? Uh, it's already been sort of revealed in press images, but it looks kind of insane. We'd like to demo it and get it in your hands." And of course, I said
[16:51] yes. So, the idea basically is imagine if your smartphone camera was also a gimbal. Because on this phone, you slide the glass open on the back and then you can flip open a gimbal with a 200 megapixel main camera and it can do all
[17:04] picturing that your gimbal camera can do. The gimbal itself is also really tiny. You've probably seen like the DJI Osmo or something like that. This is giving you all of those same benefits, but with tiny tiny motors and it fits in
[17:17] your pocket obviously when it folds onto the back of your phone. So, stabilization modes, being able to turn it and point it wherever you want. And then, of course, there's also an AI assistant that brings the gimbal to
[17:30] life, like a sort of a anthropomorphized face that nods along to the beat of and can give you happy and sad expressions. It's all a bit much if I'm being honest, but uh you can also ask it what it thinks of the outfit you're
[17:44] wearing and it will look you up and down and tell you. It is like one of those concept phones come to life. I've I've never really actually pictured them but now it seems like they're going to. They're also doing this in partnership
[17:56] with ARIE, which ARIE does a lot of high-end stuff like Red. So, they're doing uh some color science, custom color modes, and LUTs on this phone that can shoot in log or you can shoot with pre-stamped LUTs from a bunch of
[18:10] different uh profiles. Haven't gotten any camera quality samples off of the thing, but seems like a good feature. I honestly I want to give it like a nine because they actually made it and it's real and I didn't think they would. It's
[18:22] doing too much which is better than not doing enough. So, I'm not mad at it. So, yeah. Sure. N out of 10. All right. So, the next item here, as you can see, is a the next item here, as you can see, is a chair. Uh I'll get to this in a second.
[18:34] chair. Uh I'll get to this in a second. Uh but a very adjustable chair. And I had uh a couple suspicions when I first got this email. Some of you may know I've been using the same chair uh for the better part of a
[18:47] decade, decade and a half. But when I see this $1,200 see this $1,200 AI powered massaging chair, I can't help maybe maybe the grass is a little greener on the other side. Maybe I'm
[18:59] missing something. Here's what the chair features. It has this remote control which does all of the things in the chair. So the chair has cooling element, low vent, medium vent, or high. It's cooling my butt right now. Uh, it also
[19:13] has a heating element in it as well. There's also a massage feature. So, this piece right here, which is actually moving right now, uh, is the lumbar support. And it has a low, medium, or high massage. It's fine, I guess. Uh,
[19:31] it's only on the lower back, though. It's not on the butt. Anyway, then there is the movement of this actual piece itself here. So, see how that moves like maybe 3 or 4 inches forward and then moves backward.
[19:46] So, you can manually move it forward or backward. But why would you do it backward. But why would you do it manually when this chair has artificial built in according to the website to do it for you? Because there's an auto
[20:00] smart track feature. So, when I turn that on, basically what I feel now is like meet me where I am. I don't know any way. And what's crazy is when you go on their website, they they have like a
[20:15] picture of like an AI chip that I guess is somehow in this chair. It also has this sort of post up like this in the chair. But I think my real conclusion that I found with this chair is it is possible
[20:30] to have too much customizability. This headrest for example headrest for example a little they are like customizable in every single way. It's a lot like get out of the chair which I I figure most
[20:45] people get out of the chair. I would normally not say yes to this email because when I see AI powered chair I kind I kind of know where this is going. But I'm glad I said yes to it so I could make that discovery. But it is still a
[20:57] functional chair that you can sit in. I guess that's not a disaster. Four out of 10. All right. Next up here we got a pair of headphones. This Skull we got a pair of headphones. This Skull Candy Crusher uh 1080C.
[21:11] These are brand new and they're most expensive headphones yet. I don't know Candy, but I'm a little older and I remember back in my day, Skull Candy was the headphones that you got from the fashion store Forever 21. I've never had
[21:25] fashion store Forever 21. I've never had a particularly high opinion on the audio quality of Skull Candy headphones, but now they're coming along with a pair of $280 active noise cancelling overear
[21:37] headphones, and they've done it in collaboration with Bose. So, there's a lot of big talk about the sound by bows of these headphones. I've taken them out them or tried them yet, and I'm about to. But right off the bat, they're
[21:49] actually built really well. I guess we'll just jump right in. When you turn them on and off, there's like a voice that says power on, and then when you turn it off, it says, "See you." Okay, connected. There's also on the side here
[22:03] connected. There's also on the side here a base wheel. So, they're still really into the the bass thing on on just skullc crushingly powerful loud bass. And you can turn it up or down. I'll start it all the way down at the
[22:17] minimum. [laughter] [laughter] Okay. Wow. All right. So, so at at its lowest amount of bass, like nine out of 10 bass. Wow. These are strong. You turn
[22:31] the bass wheel up all the way and it becomes an exaggerated overwhelming muddying of the entire lower end of just booming powerful bass. So if the song you're listening to has a baseline or a drum beat or an 808, pretty much all
[22:47] there's there's people for sure who all they want to do is feel the bass through to concerts and that's what they're there for. The fun factor is high, but I I don't think I would spend $280 for these. But nothing else sounds like
[23:02] this. So, 6 out of 10. All right. So, this next thing has by far the most red flags of anything else uh that we're looking at today. From the email to the website, even through it actually getting here, I still am not exactly
[23:17] sure what's going on with this company, but I'll show you. I'll show you anyway. Hopefully, it's not a scam. It's weird. So, uh it's a thin portable gaming PC. So, uh it's a thin portable gaming PC. At least that's what this is. When you
[23:31] from them. You say yes to everything. You go to the website and you investigate. The only two things on their website are this computer and a their website are this computer and a $10,000 ebike pod looking thing that
[23:45] they're saying is street legal. Those are the only two things this company sells. So, I'm I'm not really sure what's going on. It's grantsinclair.com. This this screams like it's just a guy who has like two ventures that he's into
[23:57] and maybe both of them are working well. I don't know. Uh but he's he sent us this gaming PC. I fired it up. It's less gaming PC and more just like a uh a couple stacked PCBs with an emulator that can play a couple of games and gets
[24:13] kind of warm. But yeah, as you can see by this thing, it's got essentially these two unlabeled controls which underneath you can like feel a bunch of different buttons, but there it's it's basically like a D-pad over here and
[24:25] then like a selector here. Uh there is a micro SD card slot at the top. There's a them being mini HDMI, and then there's a USB type-C
[24:37] then there's two speakers at the top. So, you open one of these games, Astroblaze, and you select it.
[24:50] there's a lot of enemies here. It's weird. It has a couple games built in. and light, but I have very little essentially a Raspberry Pi. It's about 150 bucks on their site. It's a weird
[25:04] 150 bucks on their site. It's a weird site, man. I don't know. I said yes. I'm not sure if I regret it yet. Maybe I will, maybe I won't. But now we have a will, maybe I won't. But now we have a tiny gaming PC. Five out of 10. It's
[25:17] Maybe the pads on the bottom could be a little stickier so I could Maybe they little stickier so I could Maybe they should be labeled. Eh, five out of 10. Okay, so this has been behind me the whole time. It's a new TV. This is the
[25:31] Sony Bravia 92. This is in my inbox as a true RGB TV. That's the pitch. This is a very premium 65 inch TV. Costs $3,600, but also goes
[25:44] up to like 115 in or something like that. It is not an OLED, but Sony is pitching this true RGB technology to be almost as good as OLED without the downsides of OLED. So, true RGB means independently controlled red, green, and
[26:01] blue LEDs instead of passing through filters. So, really vibrant color and great brightness, but also no burn-in like you do get with some OLEDs. And it's also a smart TV, so I'm on the YouTube app and I found that right out
[26:13] the box, it was very obvious that the reds are super saturated. And this is just in the standard mode. Even when I switch over here to the cinema mode or some of the other less vibrant modes, it's still a ton of saturation on the
[26:28] reds. So, it's just something I noticed right out the box. Obviously, it's still a really good-look TV. It's still 4K. It still has a ton of resolution, but I found that some of the extra stuff around the TV, around the image,
[26:42] actually made just as much of an impact for me. As specifically, the anti-glare finish. You're looking at this TV in front of a massive window right now. And at it is that it reflects almost nothing. So, it's got these deep blacks.
[26:56] It's got really, really high brightness. It's got saturated colors. and you can see everything because the anti-reflective tech is actually good. I underneath the display right here which hides the power cable. If you've ever
[27:09] seen those like lenticular uh films that you can put in front of a person to sort of make them disappear like an invisible cloak or whatever, that's basically the same thing specifically to make the power cable go away. And then also fun
[27:22] power cable go away. And then also fun fact, this remote is USB type-C powered. You'll never lose the TV remote batteries again. I don't know how often will also say that the spatial reproduction from the speakers on this
[27:36] TV was also really impressive to me. So, there's this demo when you first set it up to sort of read the room. You hold the remote out in front of it which has these sounds and you can kind of hear it figuring out how to set up surround
[27:49] sound. But there are directional like firing tweeters that go straight up at there's a bunch of other larger speakers. There's no woofers. It's not the most base in the world. Now, would I have normally said yes to this?
[28:03] Possibly. This is sort of also right on the borderline. If anything, just to see this new RGB, true RGB tech. Yeah, I think given the price tag, it's hard to give it much more than about like a 7 and 1 half out of 10. It is quite an
[28:15] expensive TV. Uh, but the uh the benefits are pretty clear. So, this yes to a bunch of product review requests, and that is a very common type of email that I get. Uh, but I also get lots of other types of emails that
[28:29] like, [music] uh, speaking invitations, event invites, uh, ad sponsored requests, things like that. So, I'll give a shout out to the that. So, I'll give a shout out to the Ray Neo AR smart glasses who get the
[28:44] award for most times emailing me during this one period. They were all asking to do an ad for the product. They emailed me six times from six different there was another certain company who will remain nameless uh who initially
[28:58] reached out uh to just [music] send a product and I replied and I said yes as I am and I think they were a little taken back by that and so they replied
[29:10] uh actually can we do a collaboration instead like an ad? Uh and I said no I'm know if you want to send the product for me to check it out I'll do that. And so they said, "Okay, never mind. But if we can do a collab,
[29:27] then yes." I've never seen that before. They said their policy does not let them ship out any products without confirmed video coverage, [music] meaning they wanted to guarantee that I was going to make a video. Fellow

[29:54] sponsoring this video. So, I have been answering emails and covering tech for the better part of 17 years, which is actually more than I have not been doing this, but Best Buy has me beat. They've been celebrating their 60th anniversary
[30:06] this year. So, one of the most fun parts of these say yes to everything videos is that I actually get to get hands-on with and test that I ordinarily wouldn't have gotten to try. But that is what Best Buy does best is they'll let you get
[30:20] hands-on with the best tech before you actually make your purchase decisions. anyone else. I mean, they're one of the only tech stores that has been selling cell phones since the start of cell phones, basically. So you can find the
[30:33] tech upgrades you need and elevate your daily life at bestbuy.com. We'll have a you to check it out. But otherwise, this has been it. Thank you for watching. has been it. Thank you for watching. Catch you guys in the next one. Peace.
