From the design and styling to the performance,
all the way to features like the Bose Personal Plus sound system, We'll be right back. Available feature, Bose is a registered trademark of the waveform podcast we can't get enough of it so we're your hosts i'm marquez i'm andrew and i'm david and this is adam and i'm ellis and we're doing another game show
i love i was ready for like a remix of it yeah i was like didn't have time this one is so
this is our first original game show this is the first show that we
came up with the rules with all on our own we're not basing it off anything and so for that reason
it's also the most jank game show we've put together i feel like the first tidbits of it
were last week i was like yeah oh let's do something kind of around this and then like this week you're like here's a pdf get ready yeah so yeah so backstory like uh adam i there was a
bunch of stuff i wanted to talk about on the pod that it wasn't exactly like easy to fit in just
stuff that i like you know and i was talking to adam and adam was like what if we did a whole
bonus episode about or i thought it was your idea but then i said that and then adam was like that was my idea and i was like okay no it's my day marquez i thought i came up with the entire thing
what are you guys talking about so we were like yeah let's let's do a bonus episode that's just
recommendations just our favorite things and then adam and i got together and we were like we have
three days to put this episode together that's like enough time to program an entire game show. So we're not going to necessarily be keeping score because this is about letting the people know what's good, but there will be an air of competition, which will become clear.
of this show, of this game,
whatever you want to call it,
we are going to give you... Oh, it's buzzers.
There are buzzers in front of you.
We are going to give you a category,
and then we are going to give you a...
We're not actually going to give you the qualifier.
You guys are going to end up
giving yourselves the qualifier
if you look at the screen.
So, for example, Marques,
would you like to hit that button in front of you?
Smash that button.
Smash that like button.
That red button.
So you may notice a wheel scrolling in front of you going between the options easy, medium, and hard, and a 45-second countdown also beginning.
Whatever that lands on will be the modifier difficulty for the category.
So the first category we're going to do is creators.
We need you to recommend a creator from any platform.
And how many followers they have to be under will be determined by the easy, medium, and hard.
You will all answer each category.
In the same modifier?
No, you'll all be rolling for your own modifier.
Some of you are going to have it easy.
Some of you are going to have it hard.
And the important thing is this is not a game of just naming stuff.
This is not a game.
If you say something, you better be able to recommend it in earnest to our fans.
Okay.
Yeah, I like that to our fans. Okay. Okay.
So. Yeah, I like that.
Marques.
Yes.
Would you like to go first?
I would love to go first.
Spin the wheel.
Smash that spin button.
I landed on easy.
Medium.
Medium.
Medium is 500,000 followers or subscribers.
There can be a creator from any platform.
You have 38 seconds left.
Is this all of us or just Marques?
Just Marques.
I want to make sure on YouTube.
Yes, I do.
Okay, I've got one.
Let's hear it.
Formula Addict.
Formula Addict.
Love what they do on Instagram.
They have almost a million there,
but on YouTube, they have 323,000 subscribers.
I will allow it.
They do an incredible job.
What do they do?
They visualize F1 races
given telemetry data
uploaded to the F1 website.
Oh, okay.
So you might have seen
the like Ferrari versus Red Bull.
That's them.
That's where they take
like the hot laps
and we'll like compare them
next to each other
and you can see the lines
they took and how much
first happens smoking
everyone by.
Basically, yeah.
They made the MKBHD F1 car for our video too.
Okay, cool.
That's right.
Very good, very good.
Right out the gate with a heater.
All right, Andrew.
That's a lot to follow up.
Oh, easy.
Easy.
Easy is one million followers.
One million, okay.
Wide range of creators.
It is a wide range.
Almost everything I've been consuming lately is only
disc golf or old school runescape so that's like no followers yeah none of them have a ton of
followers i mean like i always shout out internet shaquille and he's still under a million and i
can't believe he's still under his stuff is so good he also comments on like all of our episodes
so probably watching this but best cooking channel online.
Yeah.
Period.
Excellent choice.
Yeah,
I would totally,
I think Internet Shaquille is like the perfect,
and look,
he's got 700,000.
He's getting there.
Get into a million so I can recommend someone else later.
I love that.
Thank you for listening.
Internet Shaquille.
We love you.
David.
Excuse me, David.
I forgot to reset your timer,
but we're just going to imagine.
But you also got hard.
I only got hard.
And David, hard is any creator
under 10,000 followers.
10,000?
Ignore the wheel spin
because you have 42 seconds on the board.
Oh my 10,000.
And if you guys are unable
to name a recommend anything
within the parameters,
we've taken the liberty
of asking everyone in the studio
for their picks.
And so we have studio picks
to make up for your last picks.
Yeah, but do they have under 10,000?
You bet your bottom dollar.
You can use like Instagram also,
or I know you're on TikTok all the time.
It has to be a good recommendation.
Oh, Instagram can work? Yeah. Or Twitter instagram can work yeah okay or twitter 25 seconds left working on it or one of my creators is getting a shout out wait 10 000 shoot all my friends i can't wait
till this person has youtubers 10.5 no all my friends are youtubers and none of them
um david is in real time discovering how successful his friends are
honestly i'm trying to look at 10k on mine and 11 that would be really tough wait is this 10
wait 10,000 9 oh my god what happens if i oh eight line is technically seven wait just six
okay five seconds remaining oh it's 11,000.
No.
Three.
How about.
Can we give him the 11,000 and then you also.
One.
Okay.
I've got one.
Wait, is it not something I, someone I work with?
Can I do Mariah?
No, you can't do Mariah.
No, no, that's cheating.
10,000 is really low, bro.
It is very hard.
Like that's really hard. That's why it's hard. 10,000 is really low, bro. It is very hard. Like, that's really hard.
That's why it's hard.
Cry about it.
The staff pick for under 10,000 is Natasha's Cars.
Natasha's Cars is an off-roading channel
that involves lots of fun fixing of Jeeps
and solving of problems and muddy adventures.
And it's a really fun, channel 9500 9500 subscribers i would
not be surprised if it becomes much more uh she's also a pretty common guest on uh the donut sister
channel real mechanic stuff as like an off-roading expert and she also runs some sort of non-profit
that gets women involved with off-roading but i
don't know the details of that this looks fun kill me everyone has so many subs no points for
you david everyone has great great first round wait okay because marquez got medium andrew got
easy and i got hard is it just linear it is not linear linear. It's actually random. That was actually a coincidence. It's not actually random. What? It is not.
It's not linear.
Do you know how hard it is to make a computer?
I know there's no real random.
Use lava lamps.
There's no real random.
Lava lamps.
I could have done something like that.
After this, I will show you the algorithm I wrote to generate a quote unquote random
number and you will laugh.
It is so funny.
Math.flor.
I'm just interested marquez like
off the riff can you pick someone with under 10 000 yeah so my definition i would have asked is
can i pick someone who has less than 10k on like instagram or something yeah yeah but their
instagram page has to be the good part of content i can recommend other things under 10 000 i could
do that on instagram but it's not their main another great youtube channel with under 10,000
followers is me's daily it's a channel where every day this dude just makes a new me on the week
and they're all bang that's awesome i did the whole cast of parks and rec on my switch that's
like exactly this sort of energy except he still is on the original we like um mii uh daily anyway while adam looks at some me's um uh let's move on to
the next round um and why don't we actually go in reverse order and have david go first david
this category is camera accessories camera accessories why don't you spin the wheel and
see give me heart again i'm interested I'm not deciding what people get.
Your pseudo random algorithm.
It's, yeah.
Alright.
I'll spin it.
No, you got
hard again. Yeah, but come on.
He's perfect for this category to get hard.
David, can you name a camera accessory
for under $15 category to get hard. It is. David, can you name a camera accessory for under $15?
That is hard.
Not even a roll of film is cheaper than $15.
Well, you have 33 seconds left on the clock.
And don't forget, something you would actually recommend.
Not just something you could think of.
Here's what I'll say.
Here's what I'll say.
The staff pick, we have miles's picks for
these what he chose for the 15 accessory is definitely something you will use on shooting
days whether or not it's a camera accessory it's loose but something you'll use while you're
shooting okay i got one yeah what is it all right um a usbc to sd card reader you can definitely
get that for under $15. Yes.
It's good because you can take your SD card out of your camera and then you can
plug it directly into your phone
and that's a much faster way to transfer your photos
to your phone.
How do you put the film in?
In fact, Adam just pulled one up
for $15 made by Anker
that has both micro SD and full size SD.
That's right. Excellent recommendation. If you have $15 and you needker that has both micro SD and full-size SD. That's right.
Excellent recommendation.
If you have $15 and you need an accessory for your camera,
couldn't think of anything better than that.
Andrew, spin that wheel, baby.
Hard again.
Also hard.
$15, I have no shot.
I actually had something for $35
and I was pretty pumped about.
Dang.
A camera accessory for under $15.
A Chimera accessory.
A what?
No, just don't think about it.
Are there any good straps?
I was going to say, is there anything at Peak Design, and there's nothing at Peak Design
for under $15?
Bubble wrap.
I kept wanting to recommend Peak Design products and they they were outside of the constraints
yeah they're too expensive oh wait they're good um but they're expensive yeah i bet a dead cat
is under 15 a dead cat yeah you get a side of the road oh man uh Moment was so close.
That's $17.
112.
12 seconds left on the board.
Yeah, I'm going to definitely mess this one up.
See how it feels.
I'm doing the David route.
I spelled that wrong also.
Oh, oh, oh.
The sensor blower.
Isn't it $15?
This one's $16, but I'm sure there's... What are they called? $15. What's the air blower isn't it $15 this one's 16 bucks but i'm sure there's what are they called
what's the air blower sorry andrew i don't feel like you really are what do you mean
air blower blaster pump dust cleaner includes microfiber cleaning cloth bulb blower for digital
slr lens sensor lcd screens musical
i'm wrong no but actually if you have a camera you should have one of these in
your bag at all times uh during our mock game brandon got 15 and his was uh a lens the brush
the pen quickly show something to david and see if he thinks this is cool yeah what is it it's
just like a cold shoe cover that's just like a nice metallic brushed we at
beers and cameras actually make those dude this is actually a keyboard company that i like that
makes artisan keycaps but they're they make it's just like a hot shoe cover those are also dope
you can get cut what is this so it's a thread mount so if you have a camera that has a uh
a release thread button which all fu Fujifilm cameras basically do.
What you used to do in it
is there's a bulb mode on cameras.
So depending on how long you hold the button down for,
it exposes for.
And on old film cameras,
you would hold this
because there would be less shake
the further away you were physically from the camera.
Anyway, people make those as just accessories that have brands on them
or titanium or metal or whatever.
It's cool.
But they're usually more expensive than $15.
Very true. Marques, let's see if you also
get a $15
guarantee I get easy.
Recommend a camera accessory.
A red Monstro 8K.
I got hard too.
You got hard also?
$15. Let's see what kind of dead cats you can get i'll find you one
walmart has a search inflation has gotten out of control walmart has a searching do either you guys want to explain what a dead cat is for people oh yeah
might not know so a dead cat is effectively something that you put on a microphone.
It could be any kind of microphone, but it's like a fuzzy thing that's just very furry.
And it basically just stops the wind from hitting the microphone directly, and it absorbs all of the wind shock.
Exactly.
If you're shooting outside, especially with a shotgun microphone, get one.
It'll make everything better i don't know if marquez has ever bought a camera accessory for no i $15 i pulled up a you can get the we have these actually these red xlr cables
are exactly $15 okay um so maybe it's an audio accessory so it's kind of it's in line it's a
production accessory but i do value a good xlr cable and you can get it in red so get yourself a nice little flare on your xlr cable
the staff picks for these came from miles uh hard for the 15 dollars is you guys all about miles
recommended buying a two inch roll of black gaff tape a quintessential part of every camera
accessory that's like a production
accessory camera production whatever
I also would have assumed that's more than $15
no it's $7
actually just $7
our medium
difficulty was $80
Miles recommended the small rig
CH10 compact fluid head
pretty simple $80
but yeah fluid head will make your shoots way
better and then for the 200 easy difficulty miles recommended the beach tech dxa micro pro active
xlr compact adapter which is something you put on your cold shoe and it turns it gives you xlr
jacks on a camera that i would have recommended the nifty 50 lens, 50 millimeter, 1.8,
usually $50.
Yeah.
Really?
That's a really good cheap.
Oh,
it was a hundred bucks.
Yeah.
I think they got it down to price.
Inflation,
right?
For this next category,
I'm going to,
for the next round,
I'm going to pass it over to my co host,
Adam.
Oh,
well,
that's on B and H.
Maybe it is inflation. Actually on eBay. I bet that's on B&H. Maybe it is inflation, actually.
On eBay, I bet you they're cheap as hell.
I guess I'm probably just thinking eBay.
I remember, well, the reason I have this tattoo is I got it for $99.
That was the first non-kit lens I ever bought.
Anyway.
Next category, subscription services.
Oh.
Like good subscription services? services exactly that you recommend and the
modifier will be under certain prices nice this time andrew you go first
the problem with subscription services is i just forget how much i'm paying
you need rocket money you got You got medium. Easiest ad segue ever.
You got medium,
which is under $25.
YouTube premium is under $25, right?
No, it's $30.
$12.99.
Yeah, it's pretty good.
No, it's not.
Per month?
I'm assuming this is per month, right?
Not for individual.
I think it's for individual.
$13.99.
Still is.
It's really hard not to suggest YouTube Premium.
Also, Spotify.
Can I do YouTube Premium and Spotify Premium?
Those both are under $25 together, aren't they?
Dang, yeah.
It's probably right there.
Yeah.
Wow.
Stop listing the ads with your content.
Yeah, subscription services are not that expensive generally.
It's just that you have a million.
I said subscription services are not that expensive generally. It's just that you have a million. I said subscription services are not that expensive generally.
It's just that you get a million of them.
That's the problem.
I wish I could think of one that's more fun off the top of my head,
but YouTube Premium is easily the most used I have.
And when you accidentally put on a different YouTube channel,
I'm just like, oh my God, I'll give you $12 right now to stop this ad.
I can vouch for that pick.
There's this brewery I go to where you give them $200
at the beginning of the year and you get a free beer
every single day that you want to go.
What? That's pretty awesome.
Does it keep like a mug there? I've seen that before.
Yeah, that's awesome. Nice. Alright, Marques, you're up.
Wait, what's the brewery? It's the one in Red Hook.
Oh, is that the name of it?
The one in Red Hook.
Medium.
I don't remember.
25.
Under 25 hours.
Well, Andrew took my pick, so I'm going to look up.
Yeah, that was my pick too.
Marcus is like, which of the 8,000 task apps do I pay for per month?
I'm going to look in my Copilot app and see what other transactions I have lately.
30 transactions.
If I was answering this, I would put actually Copilot itself as a transcript.
Microsoft Copilot?
It is a good one.
Subscribe to Bloomberg News.
Windows Copilot?
I'm subscribing.
Money Copilot.
Dropbox, it's a subscription.
Audible.
Ooh, Audible's pretty good.
More like subscription.

What else?
I have one for you.
Taxes, that's a pretty good subscription.
Taxes? that's under 25
ready right off your entire job holy heck no i'm going i'm going spotify spotify
let me just double check okay so it's the premium individual plan is 10.99 per month
yeah and that's that'll be what i have i pay two dollars it's pretty great
because you have a family plan.
Two bucks.
Which I would love to also vouch for,
but you need to have a family, which is expensive.
I don't have a family.
No.
But I...
Allegedly.
We learned that last episode.
David's children are listening to this right now.
What the f***?
Dude, no one's going gonna take that as a joke
and everyone's gonna comment david i was kidding
all right david press your
button on the internet all right i'm gonna get hard

easy to medium at 25
easy easy
a hundred dollars easy is fifty dollars
fifty dollars fifty dollars that's kind of
what's the best subscription yeah you can go off
what's like your favorite
top subscription
blue apron
technically I pay like
$49.99
for Google Fi
okay
oh
that actually counts
I love Google Fi
really
I do think it's a little
expensive though
because a lot of other
uh
MVMOs
yeah
are cheaper
okay
but I don't think that's my
pick wait so then that's my pick.
Wait.
So then what's your pick?
I thought you said it was Google.
Can I do anything?
Under $50.
Under $50.
That's a subscription service.
Not anything.
And that's anything appropriately rated for the podcast.
Yes.
Yeah.
And it's a subscription.
Um,
I'm going to say,
I'm going to go,
I'm going to be friendly.
Okay.
Uh, I think that Casey Newton's platformer
newsletter
that is paid is very good
how much is it?
he writes every single day
it's $80 a year I think
it's well under
$50
I think that's pretty good journalism good
writing yeah and other forms of media i totally agree yeah all right one more and then i'll pass
it back to ellis okay the next one is youtube videos and it can't be any videos that you worked
on so it can't be like no old school mkbhd videos nothing like that david no x android authority
videos nothing yeah i don't recommend any of them and it's is it going to be under the creator's
number or that video has user subscribers that one is going to be years old oh yeah okay cool
all right all right uh who's up marquez marquez you're up who's on first i really
gotta think who's winning you know i thought we weren't keeping score there's no score just set
the whole point of this although we should have we should have gamified it it is a game
i guess right medium medium medium medium is older than Medium is older than five years. Older than five years old.
You want a classic?
I'm not going crazy frog.
I'm going over five years old.
Classic YouTube video.
Okay.
I feel like classic's longer than five years.
Classic YouTube video that you can genuinely recommend.
Like you would be like, hey, check out this fun video.
Like this is worth watching.
The trailer for Her.
What? Callback. Yeah, it's a stupid movie called her full movie 4k hd
i'm recommending rip i'm recommending the vsauce video titled what if everyone jumped at once
yo that's a good one. It is 11 years old.
Oh, so it's older than five.
Yeah, plenty. It's plenty into the green here.
It's just a pretty classic
Vsauce style
deep dive on what if
actually everyone jumped at once.
I just saw something where
people did that in an elevator and got stuck.
Yeah, don't do that.
Do not do that.
But I recommend the video.
I'm not going to use Vsauce for mine,
but one of my favorite videos is,
I think it's called What is a Chair?
And it's by Vsauce.
And it's just like picking apart
what is the simplest form of what could make up a particle
that could make up a chair.
Sounds like a a vsauce
video yeah it's epic all right david press your button
wow you got hard again that's crazy hard is older than 10 years
never mind just messing with you thanks thanks marquez easy because you know i can't see the
screen david oh two chairs exist that's what it's called. Anyway,
one year old,
one year.
Yep.
Has to be older than one year.
Older than one year.
Oh,
you got easy.
Easy.
You've wasted 15 seconds already.
15 seconds on my diet is chill.
Um,
Oh,
hold on.
Okay. While David does this, I just want to say that her joke earlier is because while we weren't recording oh hold on okay
while David does this
I just want to say
that her joke earlier
is because
while we weren't
recording the podcast
we were all making fun
of Marquez and Andrew
neither of whom
had seen her
heard of her
heard
yeah neither of them
knew anything about her
so yeah
we're joking about them
needing to go see
possibly the most
modern tech oriented movie
of the last 10 years
I also have
another recommendation okay i'm ready all right wait is this you have seven seconds it's one year
older than one year cabin in the woods what is that no sorry i'm just checking if it's older
than a year yeah okay it is one year old okay cool ah wait check the upload date it says one year ago so it has

yeah exurbia is like some real youtube he's a really amazing writer really yeah yeah really really good stuff yeah unfortunately he is not under 10 000 subs well andrew
i'm screwed if this is the 10 year one
easy easy tick again okay well i'm going to just answer the 10-year one. Easy.
Easy.
That's going to tick again.
Okay, well, I'm going to just answer my five-year one anyways
because that is still after.
Okay, this is a RuneScape account.
Of course.
But it's still interesting.
It's this guy called Settled,
and he was playing RuneScape and all this, like,
this very hard way of doing it,
and then decided,
I've been playing this for so long,
I want to make it harder.
So he, like, there's this huge map, there are in every mmorpg and he was like i'm going to
do everything only from this one section of this map and i can't leave it and because runescape is
like the grindiest game in all of history it's like really hard to do all these different things
and he has to find these like very unorthodox ways of figuring it out so like episode two here is like an 11 hour it took him 11 hours
to do this one skill set that generally would take people like 10 minutes if they were just
playing the game because it was only that was the only way that was available to do something of
that low of a skill inside of this and i think he took like three years to finish the series.
And it was something where every time it came out,
I had to watch the episode that night.
That's dedication.
It's called Swampletics is the series.
Great recommendation.
All right, back to Ellis.
Let's do one or two more of these
and then we'll go to commercial.
How does that sound?
Cool.
Sounds good.
All right, we're going to do another YouTube videos round, but this time the limiting factor is going to be view count this is much harder i love it
and for this one oh actually excuse me for the last one we had mariah's picks um specifically
you know my favorite for the medium is a video called Time for Sushi, which is one of the weirdest videos on YouTube.
Not going to say anything else.
It has my recommendation.
If Mariah recommended one of the weirdest videos on YouTube,
it's a banger.
Yeah, I want to watch it all.
Exactly.
But YouTube videos based on view count.
Marques, I believe it is your turn to go first.
Hard is going to be like one.
You're the only person who's ever seen it.
Marques, hard is 15,000 views.
You need to give me a video in the next 38 seconds.
Oh my God.
Also, while Marques is thinking, when I built this buzzer, I based the countdown timer off of a one hertz cycle because one hertz is one per second.
And then I realized I was running the simulation for all the rendering and stuff in 60 FPS, which was stupid because we're a 30 FPS studio.
So I lowered everything to 30 FPS.
And I think I turned my one hertz cycle into a half hertz cycle.
So I think my 45 second counter is actually a 90 second
we're just gone by peer reviews which i'm pretty sure that's correct
this is really slow it's slow and we're still reaching the end of it i know
this can be an extremely new happy accident Happy accident. Perfect timing. Yeah, wait. At this time, is there anyone in your subscription box who just came out?
Yes, there are.
Yeah, I have a one-view video.
You're going to suggest it, but you've never seen it.
Shout out to Roy Hibbert.
Roy Hibbert has a YouTube channel.
Did you guys know that?
I did not know that.
And he occasionally breaks down basketball, recent playoff series.
He's been talking Jalen Brunson lately.
He just uploaded why Jalen Brunson is a pick-and-roll god in the NBA playoffs 2024.
I'm 100% watching this.
I haven't watched it.
How does he only have 11,000 subscribers?
That's what I'm saying.
That's crazy.
He uploaded this 10 hours ago.
It has less than 400 views.
So you can bet you're getting in early.
And he is a former Pacer, so he's talking about his former team, obviously, playing against the Knicks.
I didn't even catch that.
This is really stressful being not the person doing it.
Next.
Me or David?
I think it's David.
Okay.
Hard.
Easy.
Nope.
Nope, it's medium. Oh. remember when i said it wasn't random
medium is 500 000 views half a million whoa i could do that um well prove it yeah that's
to be a video you actually what do we think where's the subscriptions oh easy so just because i have confidence i want to say uh my pick for
this was a video by a youtuber named ben jordan who's does a lot of really interesting stuff but
this video is called sorry your car will never drive you around and it is him as a self-driving
car expert and enthusiast who actually modded his kia to become level two self-driving being like this idea will not work but David
there's a channel called digital spaghetti um that is run by Jack Conte who is the CEO of Patreon
and he runs a million YouTube channels I do not know how he has so much time to have all
these projects and his bands his bands uh but he uh he did a video so this digital spaghetti channel basically like invites
in creators who are interesting for various reasons and they break down like either a shot
in one of their videos or the first minute of one of their videos and they talk about it
uh and gox who's this 21 year old 20 year old kid i don't i think he's 20 or 21 he's like one
of the most talented youtubers on the platform right now
because he's so freaking artistic
and he
went in and broke down the first
minute of one of his videos and it was
freaking awesome
and it's called how gox
recreates Hollywood in his bedroom
and it currently has 326
thousand views
very good and it currently has 326,000 views. Nice. Very good.
Andrew.
Medium.
Another half milli.
Half milli?
Perfect.
I realized I was looking for a video that's from, you guys all know Ken from Austin's team,
and he started his own channel called Denki,
and I got really worried that the video I really like from him is the most popular video he has by far but 300 000 so we're
still good but it's called exploring tokyo's largest tech store is that yodabashi camera
i think yeah yeah yodabashi akibo is that what it says oh i've been there yeah it's multiple times
i was fascinated it's 25 minutes of him just walking on like all eight stories
of this insane tech store
that has everything you could ever think of.
And he's basically just like flogging himself doing it.
And since he goes to Japan all the time,
he knew a lot about it.
And the minute I ended, I was like,
I want to go there so bad.
So really cool, entertaining video.
The worst part about Yodobashi Camera
is they play this jingle
24-7. I think he mentions that
in it.
It sounds like a Christmas jingle
too and it does not stop.
And every time I go to Japan I have flashbacks
to the last time I was in Japan. I still want to go.
Alright guys, I think we should do
one more of these and then we'll go to commercial.
And I'll let you guys pick. Would you guys rather do
charging accessories or tools?
And for tools, I wrote down in my notes, this is a very broad definition of a tool.
This is any purpose built device.
I like tools.
Oh, I kind of like tools also.
Tools?
Tools.
We feel in tools?
All right.
I think it's my turn.
Yeah, sure.
The dad should do tools.
Hey, David's a dad too.
Easy.
A million dollars.
Medium.
By the way, I canceled your time.
It's medium, but I accidentally stopped your timer.
So just imagine that it's medium, even though it says hard.
But it's medium.
You have medium.
Oh, and I have to tell you that hard.
Yeah, you got to tell me what the medium is. Maybe I don uh medium is 75 oh this is not 75 oh wait it's close what if i get
the kind without a battery and everybody else wait is it the kind without a battery is lower
than 75 because if so then we have the same pick it's not okay i feel like we might still have the
same pick i'm just picking a nicer brand, maybe. There's going to be an impact driver.
What brand?
Milwaukee.
Ah, that is nicer.
Well, maybe what brand's yours, Ryobi?
Yeah.
Okay, get a Ryobi impact driver.
An impact driver is like the absolute best.
Yeah, well, and I actually had the Ryobi One,
which is a cordless drill,
but I'm sure it's the same price as the impact driver.
And without a battery, it is only $75.
Cordless drill or Impact Driver is a fantastic thing to have the minute you have any sort of apartment or house that you are living in.
It will solve so many issues.
Look at that.
I was an Impact Driver three times in 2015 when I got in three car accidents.
I'll go one more that actually is
under 75 easy though that i also think a headlamp do we count that as a tool yeah yeah a headlamp
is like the it will save you in so many scenarios just like they're usually between 25 and 50 bucks
if you're just taking out the trash when it's dark outside if you drop something behind a
cabinet or fixing something or if you're just looking for something under a bed how much brighter than my phone is it it's connected to
your head though so you don't you can have both your hands also way brighter it's way brighter
also like dramatically brighter i seriously the amount of times i've pulled the headlamp about
actually the other night it also has the little red light what's not as bright to get your film
stuff yeah yeah no but that might actually be something you can do
or lane was sleeping and the vent to her ac unit wasn't open so i like secret agented into her
bedroom with the red light on so i could see the ac vent and open it without waking her up
too bright of a light nice headlamp okay headlamp marquez tool melamp. Marquez. Tool. Me. Tool, tool, tool, tool, tool.
You stole my joke.
Hard.
Hard.
Oh, boy.
$5.
How much is the line of security?
$25.
It's definitely more than $25.
Yeah, okay.
$25 tool.
Hmm.
This might be like a super simple like
like a camera
tool like um
what's the like
hold on
let me try to find this flat tool set
oh you can get a multi-tool for 20 bucks
oh sorry I'm also
would I get a multi-tool for 20 bucks
yeah I would
Andrew's all hyped up
it's like
tools wait i got three more picks wait was it 15 or 25 25 25 oh it's gonna be some tool for his
portion 911 a microfiber cloth that's a good tool how much is the apple polishing cloth that's a great 20 that's 200 oh no wait what was it a multi-tool no i was looking at the
like the fleur the little infrared camera that attaches to your phone or if you can just get
like the little handheld infrared thing to like see temperatures but neither of those were cheap
enough so i just have to go with the multi-tool oh but i don't like red sells a multi-tool and
it's definitely not this cheap so i don't know if I would recommend these cheap ones.
Well, since you didn't make it in time, the staff pick for a $25 tool is actually something I have at home.
$28.
It is the new ear N-E-W-E-E-R.
It's like one of those random, you know yeah drop shippy brands but the new ear panoramic fluid
tripod head um which is literally just something that you put on top of your tripod and you get
smooth fluid rotation what makes it panoramic uh because there's no pitch and there's degree
measurements on the side so the idea is that if you're doing like not actual panorama photography
but like wrote like scrolling that's the really nice way of saying
no tilt
and then there's
degree
it's iPhone panorama
there's degree marks on it so if you want
like an exactly 15 degree turn
that's something that you can measure out and do
and I love it
because I own it
David alright alright do and i love it uh because i i own it i love you too very nice uh david all right
all right tools okay medium 25 how much 75 75
don't worry take your time we're all waiting gosh um tools oh hmm do i ever use tools you buy a tool
to fix this countdown i just bought some tools what were they um they were $ 75 the line of screwdrivers definitely no it's more than that is it 75
it's probably 75 okay so i have this lens um it's 69 69 nice nice i have this lens it is the
nikkor uh 28 millimeter 2.8 lens and randomly for some reason it stopped going to infinity and beyond
i knew you were gonna do that so it can't that's the whole point is that it doesn't go past infinity
but it stopped going to infinity it will only focus up to like two meters and i didn't know why
it turns out you can buy these uh, they're like these rubber cones
that you use to take apart lenses
that you stick into the lens and twist it
and it spins out the elements of the lens
so that you can take it apart.
It's like providing extra grip for you?
Okay, yeah.
It's like suction and grip
specifically made for glass lenses.
All right.
Excellent job with the first round.
I love the participation from you guys, and I love all the excellent recommendations.
Normally, we do trivia before going to ad break, but this time we have something a little different,
which is that we asked our fans to send us their recommendation needs for the recommendation experts right here.
So Steve Sanjerman, or Sanjermain, what do we think?
Sanjerman.
Sanjerman sounds cool.
From Detroit says, I am in the market for a new mouse.
I've been using this wireless Dell mouse, and it's pretty basic.
I'm willing to spend a little over $100.
Also, if there are any budget mice you like i would like to hear about
those too thank you steve for writing in i'm interested if he wants like a production like a
he didn't specify mouse or a gaming mouse yeah i figured those are very different things well we
have the perfect crew here because let's be real different everyone who's not a gamer is going to
say the same mouse one two three the apple magic master three yeah logitech mx master three i think
they're on the 3s now well only if you want the quiet one which under around 100 bucks i like the
loud i mean i like the quiet one i like the loud one i like the loud ones better andrew yeah you
game pulsar x2 pulsar x2 is that under 100 i think dude. Killer. Yeah. So, if you want to game and move fast, Pulsar X2.
If you want to... If you like
Demon Slayer and are okay spending $100,
there's a bunch of cool Demon Slayer ones, too.
What is Demon Slayer? Bro.
No, I don't know. It's what I'm watching
instead of her.
I have that really
cool, small Razer mouse
that's, like, $300.
Yeah, the Viper Mini SE mini sc yeah don't get that
are there any like it's great it's really expensive true budget mice that any of us
have experienced with i think your best bet and the logitech travel anywhere is what i was thinking
oh the mx anywhere i still still went to gaming it's still 80 bucks no yeah gaming game too i
don't know how much they are now but like with logitech g pro just buy the original one and don't buy the super lightweight or the
lightweight and the lightweight too just buy the first one and it's still fantastic the mx anywhere
3 is 54 that's budget ish the 3s is 78 and it's worth every penny it's pretty good um you know
before we go to when i mentioned cleaning my
logitech mx master 3s with isopropyl alcohol i got like more than six dms from people being like
thank you i had no idea how to clean my disgusting house that's does that not hurt the the rubber it
hasn't yet for mine no because i used isopropyl alcohol and some rubber
thing and it kind of ruined it. I mean, you
got to be light with it, you know, because you're
only applying a coat that, because that's what's
cool about isopropyls. It evaporates so
fast and leaves behind like nothing.
Definitely though, yes, for
a lot of different kinds of rubber and plastic, you should
always be a little careful. Start, put
a little dab in a non-visible area
like cleaning carpet.

round two. Completely different rules than round one. This round is a genius level idea from my
co-host Adam Molina, and it is called Something That Blank. And it's pretty self-explanatory.
Each one of you guys is going to spin the wheel,
and it will generate a random phrase,
and you have to recommend something
that fills in that phrase.
You will not all be answering each one.
You will each be spinning on your turn.
Same timer.
That is 45, possibly 90 seconds. seconds not exactly clear if it goes too slow
i'm going to speed it up because i don't know how computers work marquez are we allowed to
semi help people uh yeah sure i don't care you can recruit help recruit help to a friend yeah
i mean but like i might understand something that marquez just doesn't remember. Like maybe something he thought, yeah, go, send it.
This is beautiful. Oh, wow. This is awesome.
Thanks. Are people going to see this?
Yes.
All Ellis.
Alright, timer has begun.
Something that is way more expensive
than it should be. Everything Marquez
has ever bought.
This is tough for me because I still want to be able to
recommend it. I still want it to be able to recommend it exactly i
still want it to be good everything i buy is overpriced when i see this i immediately think
red camera immediately now can i recommend a red camera for everyone no yes but i really really
love the skin red cameras amazing yeah i have one for you that's way more affordable okay that artisan mouse pad
that you have oh good one that's actually a great one the company's actually called artisan
yeah if i so a long time ago i went on amazon actually and just was going through artisan
mouse pads and i think it's more expensive because it's it's like it's a premium mouse pad and also
has to ship over like internationally. It's from Japan.
I probably spent like a hundred bucks on a basic square mouse pad.
Yeah, it's $73.
But I don't regret it at all.
Marques doesn't realize he's using a mouse pad that some of the top FPS pro gamers are
buying multiples of to make sure that they have them.
And he uses one just to let phones sit on
I should have bought
multiple because they're like out of stock all the time
should have yeah
that's a good one thank you Andrew
something that you've
that you can't get anymore
that would be perfect for me
film film film you can't get anymore that would be perfect for me oh film film oh man i'll
get filmed um man it's hard to like number one thing that i love that you can't get anymore is
my galaxy note 8 which was incredible but i feel like i would you recommend that to anybody yeah
um it's wait what why am i recommending something that people can't get well like i was thinking
in terms of like this mouse pad that marquez just mentioned like it's really good you love it
but it's like impossible to get you know yeah yeah oh man this could also be you can't get new
anymore i think that was can't get new anymore so you have to get it used i don't think you can
still get the loud mx master anymore new you can't get the loud MX master anymore. New. You can't get the loud one anymore. You can. New. Yeah. They have the non S version.
New.
I'm going to be honest.
I'm having a tough one here.
Things that I really like that you can't get anymore.
You're almost out of time.
I'm definitely almost out of time.
There are plenty of keyboard group buys,
but they're probably really expensive.
Reminder,
you can phone a friend.
I'm so many rare key caps.
Oh,
here's one.
Omni type makes like these small batch keyboards or there's one
that's really hard to get because you can only get it if you see them in person it's called the
omni type irl edition and it's really cool because it's like um cell shaded on the bottom and looks
like a cartoon you can get it but you have to see them in person so out of i've stretched the rules
out of curiosity david had you gotten this yeah what would you have said i probably would have said wait no no no don't don't tell me to wait gotten this one, what would you have said off the rip? I probably would have said my...
Wait, no, no, no, don't tell him to wait.
Just what would you have said?
Why are you saying to wait?
I was telling him to say not to wait.
Just what would you have said?
Something you can't get new anymore.
I would have said my Fujifilm TX1.
You owe me $15.
The other thing I would have said was...
Hasselblad X-Pan.
No, no, no.
The other thing I would have said is Hustleblad, X-Pan. The other thing I would have said is
I have the Brocap V2s
and I have three of them.
Ellis, what's your Venmo?
I would have said every single thing on Ellis' desk
at his house.
But David,
now you get to spin the wheel!
Oh!
Something
that
has wheels
oh my gosh
think of all the things with wheels
are there more wheels
oh no
what is it more wheels or doorknobs
doors
wheels or doors
something that has wheels that you can still get
oh that you can still get.
Oh.
That you would recommend.
That I would recommend with wheels.
So like Brandon was going to say the Mac Pro wheels.
But no one would recommend those.
Oh gosh, with wheels.
David, I know something that you love that has wheels.
That you don't use as often now as you used to.
But was a core part of your life for many years heelys you even made an entire long-term podcast episode about oh my boosted board
yeah i love that thing that actually would be a great recommendation for can't get it anymore
yeah yeah electric skateboards freaking amazing they have wheels the other thing i was gonna say is i found this little like cart thing on the side of the road um street somewhere in brooklyn and
it's like it's this this cart that it folds in half and it has chairs built into it as well and
it's got drawers built into it and it just gets really compact and then it can expand into like
a full kitchen table whenever you want it to and it's got tile on the top what oh i saw that at your apartment
found this on the street yeah it's he's doing a very weird job of describing it but it sounds
magical it's a it's a tiled bar cart with a leaf that folds in but it folds i imagine it being like
the size of a briefcase and then he just unfolds it and has this like
entire kitchen set up.
That's what I was picturing too.
It's like one of the nicest
rolling bar carts I've ever seen. Yeah, it's super
messed up though. Why do you think it was on the...
Yeah, it's really broken. But it has
wheels. Nice.
Yeah, you can wheel it around.
I love it.
Marques, back to you. I liked it.
Okay.
It is nice.
How can you recommend that, though?
No one can buy one.
I guess bar cart with wheels?
Something that only comes in bulk.
Costco eggs.
Yeah, you can only buy eggs in bulk.
In bulk.
What do we buy that's only in bulk?
Cholula?
Is that considered bulk?
That is kind of in bulk. The pump cholula. Something that's only in bulk? Cholula? That is kind of in bulk.
The pump cholula.
Something that only comes in bulk, but you could not
buy in a single
quantity.
Oh, you wrote...
I didn't have one for this. I gotta think on the spot.
Something that I recommend that you can only
buy a hundred of.
This is tough.
This is tough. Oh, I I have something I have something also well it
doesn't have to do with tech it's just something I recommend I got I'm blanking
like eggs is it I'm just okay here's one have you had those reese's
animal crackers out there oh my god i have not they're so good is that you like chocolate and
i've only ever seen it at costco i think you should try one and see if you give a recommendation
right basically everything reese's can someone go grab that bag really fast costco sells these
they're like animal crackers coated in peanut butter and chocolate.
Sounds amazing. We used to have
the animal crackers. That was like
the mainstay snack for a very long time.
We can do a live taste test.
And I've only seen it at Costco.
So I would argue it only comes
in. I just want to say Alex
came back from Costco with these and I had
four different people independently
tell me to try them.
I tell people not to try them because it's a problem.
Let's do a taste test real quick.
This looks like an ad, but it's not.
It's not an ad.
It could be Reese's if you want to.
I already know Marques is going to love this.
I know he's going to like this.
I mean, like I said, I like everything that Reese's makes.
My thing is anytime you buy an adapter for anything, so for example
I have these
right angled USB-C female to male
adapters that just allow things to be
angled. You can't buy them
individually. The smallest pack
you can possibly get is two.
Wow.
These are good.
I knew it.
They're a problem.
And the bag is already gigantic.
The bag is 150 calories for four pieces?
Yeah.
They're no joke.
Yeah, that's a good rec.
Cool.
That's a good rec.
So yeah, adapters usually like that.
Right.
You buy adapters in bulk?
You can only get them.
It's too considered bulk because you can't buy them individually.
I think that's the only definition.
You can't buy an individual. I think that's the only definition. Can't buy an individual.
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
Wow.
The other thing is like, I have this mini USB to USB-C adapters.
Mini USB?
Yeah.
Because my boosted board charger uses mini USB.
Oh, geez.
That's not micro?
No, it's mini.
Mini is used on keyboards.
Not even anymore. Yeah. when i was a young boy wow
when i was a young warthog yeah
something that requires batteries can i get my headlamp again almost this is like removable
batteries so this might have been a
typo i think i meant to say doesn't require batteries well i'm gonna give you something
but i will allow just to have batteries i'm gonna throw okay um i actually really love my
um keypad deadbolt that i use um it's like a eufy uh You replace your deadbolt so you have a keypad and can put
a code and you can put guest codes in and you
can unlock it with a smart.
And I just realized that it actually has
four AA batteries
which is kind of annoying versus just charging
but I do like it.
I got one of those and it has the weirdest battery.
I don't know what type of battery. Oh really?
It's like a small, thick
AAA battery.
Oh, I know what you're talking about. I don't know what kind of battery. Oh, really? It's like a small, thick AAA battery. Oh, I know what you're talking about.
Yeah.
I don't know what kind of battery.
But yeah, it's so nice to have a lock that I don't need to have the key for or give people spare keys.
I can just give them the code.
And then if anything, I can just change the code whenever I want.
Or if someone even forgets the code, I can just click unlock on my phone and they can get in our house.
That is really cool.
David, how many of those have you had that looked like we'll watch the footage yeah
all right you're up david no there were three connected together it just counts as one they're
in bulk so just batteries no no no that's the button the button oh did these buttons come in
bulk no you bought these individually? Marques bought them.
I do want to, I know there's a timer going,
but I'm just going to cancel so I can say this. I do want to say props to Marques
for when we did the Family Feud episode.
And I was like, Marques,
would you be down to spend like $300
on me to build a full operating game show setup?
And I'm not going to tell you what it's for
because I need to be surprised.
And he was just like, yeah, sure. That sure that sounds great Ellis so I love I love game shows
okay this one says something that no one else in this room will understand but listeners might
I feel like it's generally the other way around what like we have inside jokes and the listeners
don't know it's a recommendation a. I think you go straight film.
I thought this was actually the perfect question for you.
I like other things besides film cameras.
Yeah, and weird bar cards you find on the side of the room.
Okay, that no one in this room will understand.
That I recommend.
Yes.
Oh, so something really obscure.
Yeah.
But that the listeners, like for example, my Benoit B. Mendelbrot joke.
That no one understood.
Not a single comment understood that?
Definitely.
I'm just kidding.
Many comments.
No, there are many.
Really?
Many comments.
You were the no comments.
No comment.
That I have, that I recommend.
None of us can help you here because we're not supposed
to understand it I stopped the timer so I may just cut you off at a certain point can't possibly
understand that um okay I have a Hasselblad FlexTite scanner which is as close to a drum
scanner as you can possibly get.
Yep.
Lost me already. It doesn't take up half the room.
However, it does use an old, it only runs on an old version of Mac.
And it does 4x5 and 65x24.
I feel like as that sentence kept going, less and less people understood.
I was going to say, does that not count if none of the listeners
understand what that is?
Our listeners, there will be listeners.
Yeah.
I've gotten emails from all of them.
Well played.
Excellent answer, Dave. Marques,
I believe that brings us back to you.
I will spin.
Something, something, something.
Recommend something that you have to build yourself.
All right, IKEA style.
Let's see.
Something you have to build yourself.
That you can earnestly recommend.
That I can earnestly recommend.
Andrew in full doubt about it is like, my house.
No.
You know what's the first thing that came to mind my
child's swing set do we go like does this count as build yourself a d brand skin that you have
to install on the phone yourself is that build it yourself it comes not fully done it's some
yeah i would kind of count that yeah exactly it's in the spirit of
it so i'm i'm because building it is a skill yeah like it's actually hard as that being the
recommendation what's the last thing you built though i'm just curious built uh the desk that's
in my room right now the creator this uh steel series who makes oh no um corsair corsair wait
that's a great recommendation you
have that oh yeah but it's really expensive okay i don't know if i recommend $2,500 yeah it's
extremely expensive but i built that okay yeah yeah so your answer is d brand but my yeah
way more accessible yeah all right
something that no one else in this room
oh nope comes with a handle just kidding
okay
comes with a handle
but I feel like it's going to be some like obscure
kitchen gadget
Honda Moto Compacto
I don't think there's any
coffee things that I can think of lg standby miko i'm thinking of how broad the definition of
a handle is i have one my i have a cooler that i'm like in love with um is it a yeti it's not
a yeti it's by a company called arctic which is i think the rumor is that somebody from yeti
left yeti and basically is building
essentially the same things but for way cheaper but this cooler is no joke it it's big it keeps
ice cold for days does it have a speaker built into it no it's just like a really nice thick
cooler that actually keeps things cold i mean i've had barbecues and then the next weekend when
i'm cleaning up,
there's like still ice.
Wow.
Wow.
It's crazy.
There was like this smart cooler that was really popular.
Um,
I think it was called the cooler.
I remember this.
I think it was called,
Oh,
the coolest.
It,
it kind cool.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It had like a Bluetooth speaker,
a blender,
a blender.
Like all these features.
That was quintessential Kickstarter. Yeah. Yeah. But people got it. People A blender. Yeah. Like all these features. That was quintessential Kickstarter.
Yeah.
But people got it.
People loved it.
Yeah.
But anyway, the cooler does have handles.
Yeah.
If you're using them, you're pretty strong.
So I use them all the time.
All right.
Good record.
Maybe when I don't go to the gym for a while.
Something that comes wet that i recommend whoa can mostly frozen does that count as wet yes sure
that's a liquid i'd say that's when you hold something frozen in your hand it's like melting
specifically not wet wait frozen yeah frozen is solid, but it's like melting. Let's hear it anyway.
Hold on.
Frozen beans. If you hold those Reese's Animals
crackers in your hands for long enough,
they'll melt all over.
Something that comes wet?
Gosh.
This is a hard one.
Yeah.
Mountain Dew. it's so easy
isopropyl alcohol oh but only 90 folks because that 70 stuff will not be good for your electronics
better for your skin worse for your gear yeah if you are anywhere near the city of philadelphia
i'm gonna say go and get yourself some water ice. That is the best thing that
comes wet that I can recommend. Can you pronounce that correctly?
Water ice.
I see what you're doing.
Water ice? It's pronounced
water ice. Water ice. As compared
to what? Look.
Go birds.
Ellis, question. Would you
if you had to pick an
isopropyl alcohol, but you had to use it for your electronics and your skin, which one would you if you had to pick an isopropyl alcohol but you had to use it for your
electronics and your skin which one would you pick 99 i'd rather ruin my skin than my electron yeah
i'd go uh no but handsome handsome is usually the 77 so the the stuff they add in the 70s i forget
the exact number but it's like perfumes and oils that prevent your skin from being just
dried out by
the 90%. You can
use 90% on your skin, but
if you have a cut and you're trying to disinfect it,
you will likely further irritate your skin
while you disinfect it. So what do you care more
about, your lacerations or
your electronics? Oh, the gear, bro.
The gear.
The gear, dude. Yeah, not even close.
Marques's turn.
Yep.
Makes you smile.
That's sweet.
Aww.
Marques's wanted to answer
Porsche 911
so many times.
So many times.
I recommend it.
Basically, it's like, what is your favorite thing? thing yeah what's your favorite thing that you could buy something that makes me smile doesn't have to be bought
just could be a youtube video could be a song anything oh i have to be able to recommend it
oh that's a good point yeah yeah yeah could just be a friend. YouTube video I bought. I recommend hitting the like button on this video.
Does that make you smile?
It'll make everyone else smile when they do it.
Not only does it make me smile,
like, oh, I just saw you click it,
so I appreciate that,
but it makes everyone here smile at some point and probably
makes you smile at some point too you're the greatest youtuber alive yeah so that's that's my
uh recommendation all right but actually my car but my porsche i think this will be our last round
okay i'm so glad I got this one.
It's not something that I can recommend,
but it's something that I've wanted to talk about on the podcast for a while.
What's the,
yeah.
Something that you still think about for no reason.
Okay.
My family was over for the holidays and I was telling them about this really
funny video I saw that was about people eating Thanksgiving dinner.
That was only peas so like
everything on the table was set up like thanksgiving dinner but there were only peas in every single
dish and then i tried to show my family it and i couldn't find it anywhere so now i'm not sure if
the video exists and i cannot stop thinking about it this is a call to action waveform listeners if you have seen this
video it might not be thanksgiving it might just be regular dinner but the entire table is filled
with peas and i need to find this video to prove to my family that i'm not insane i really hope
someone finds this i i please please help me out this. This reminds me, remember that mascot that I had a really hard time finding?
Vaguely?
Did we find it?
Yeah, I eventually found it.
But it was early YouTube.
So there's hope.
Yes, there is hope.
So as many descriptors as you can give.
I thought it was called Only Peas Thanksgiving.
Okay.
All right.
David can do one, and then we're going to break.
There we go. It's brown brown i have one for this something that is brown
that you'd recommend they recommend because i'm gonna go first the lucid air
interesting specifically in brown i like the car i like it in brown can't afford it i'm sure most
people can't either but that's what i'm picking i would get that car i like it in brown can't afford it i'm sure most people can't either
but that's what i'm picking i would get that car in anything other than brown
i'll throw one in go for it okay then mcgriddle sandwich oh and a hash brown
both brown neither of those are both brown okay really good. Do you know how many calories are in a McGriddle?
At least a million.
I think at one point was the highest density calorie item on the McDonald's.
It is the best pre-tournament fast food breakfast that exists.
Do you want to throw up on your cup?
No, it is a fact.
It's the most you can get.
I have a brown anti-recommendation.
Cherry MX Brown switches.
Oh.
Okay.
As in, yeah not you're not recommending
those i mean glarses loves them but everyone else hates them and we do love glarses um the things
that google says are brown bear clay acorns what uh beetles things that are brown nutmeg
don't even oh that's a good one so brown recluse spider uh i got bit in between my toes in 2018
and my foot blew up to twice the size but you didn't have to you didn't go to the hospital
you don't recommend this i went to uh london and i was supposed to drive a porsche around a track
for a uh for a one plus event those things can kill you oh yeah yeah i went to a hospital in london
okay yeah wow well on that note you're recommending that i'm recommending you don't get bitten by that
great recommendation got it yeah okay on that note before we go to break we have another
recommendation request from our audience this one is from guido prado, who says, I'm looking for a laptop backpack that has a sleek design, sort of like the Solo redefined backpack.
I need to be able to fit a 16 inch laptop.
It needs to have a luggage strap on the back.
The compartment for the laptop should be separate from the main compartment.
And I would like it for under $180.
What would you recommend?
I feel like this is an Adam Molina type beat.
And he is pulling up the. I have a good up the all of us immediately search for the back i feel like every one of us had a specific bag we were
thinking i have the minute that yeah so i i feel like i should say right now channel partner ridge
for 185 dollars that's exactly where i went Makes a backpack $5 over the limit, but I believe
does it have a luggage strap?
I don't know about that part. It does. It has a luggage
strap. It can fit a 16-inch
laptop in a separate compartment.
Yeah, so I think that might be a great one
to recommend. But what do you guys have as well?
I really like the Brevite
Everyday Backpack.
It's very
good, and it's trendy. That sounds expensive. Vite everyday backpack. It's very good.
And it's trendy.
That sounds expensive.
And it's $130.
It's a really good camera backpack.
It has like these,
it has these,
this pouch here and then it zips on the side and there's a camera pouch inside of it.
Yeah.
It's a,
it's,
it's recommended by pretty much everyone i know who has it i don't
have it cool so i can't really tell you if you should buy it but everyone that i know that has
it likes it a lot mine is the moment everything backpack classic comes in two different sizes
both well under 180 has a luggage strap has a separate laptop sleeve i love the colors they
come in there's like an olive and a yellow and then you can even get the older version of it
which is almost the same with just a slightly different material and there's like an olive and a yellow and then you can even get the older version of it which is almost the same with just a slightly different material and there's like an orange rust color
in that all of them well under it and moment has other accessories if you're doing uh like camera
stuff you want to put inside but the water bottle holder on the side holds like a giant water bottle
but also really well straps in so when you're not using it it looks nice and sleek dude the peak design backpacks are 280 dollars for the 20 liter which is why i pulled up the everyday backpack zip the smaller
190 dollar little more portable version which still holds laptops still has a luggage strap
still has water bottle holders and is a little bit less expensive i came from a peak backpack
to the ridge which i think it actually perfectly fits. So if you want the Ridge, that's also really good.
But yeah, Peak does make a cheaper bag.
Damn.
Their regular everyday backpack is like the best backpack of all time.
It's pretty sweet, but it is so expensive.
Extremely expensive.
Anyway, on that note, we're going to go to an ad break, but stick around.

Welcome back to the third and final round
of the Waveform Recommendation recommendation game this is one that we
have been really excited to do since we came up with it it's really fun it is the first annual
edc draft we have oh my god a large list of products in front of you. I love this so much. One by one, you will be drafting these items,
and that, by the end, you will have the strangest, most confusing EDC loadout possible.
Bear in mind, there are not three of every product.
There is a chance you could have an Apple Watchpods and no phone whatsoever at all.
So choose wisely.
I'm thinking of a number between one and three.
Pandora.
There's a car on the left.
Pandora.
Model three?
Model one?
Two.
Two.
David picks two.
Between one and what?
One and three.
Three.
Three.
One.
The answer was two.
So David will go first and Marquez will go last i knew question
snake draft uh no what does that mean what no snake draft because then marquez would get twice
as many then you would be you should be asking for a not snake draft because as the middle person
you would get the least amount of votes as in a snake draft because they would all get to go twice
david what is your first pick in the first annual EDC draft?
Oh, God.
Is that a magic mouse?
That is a magic mouse.
Picking a mouse as your first. Oh, no, that's a Fiat 500E.
That is a Fiat 500E.
Oh.
Also, yes, Marquesas, Porsche 911.
That's supposed to be a Turbo S.
Oh, shit.
You just take Marquesas' car?
Don't do it. Don't do it.
Don't do it.
David, you're driving home in a new Porsche.
If I take YouTube, does that mean
no one else can take YouTube?
So no one else can ever watch YouTube again?
That is correct. Mariah picked YouTube as her
first go.
Wow.
So which of these things do I want the most which of these things yeah this is
something that if someone else driver kit you're picking yeah you're picking an edc okay the starter
kit i'm gonna just get the books out of the way early yeah we have headphones on here we have
smartphones on here we have the greatest smartphone of all time the books palma we have some tablets
got some computers some some subscription services,
some mobility machines.
We got apps. We got watches.
We got some computer accessories.
Peripherals. Mice,
specifically. Mice. We had...
Input devices. Yeah, you know.
So, David. Okay.
I guess, for the first
thing, I'm just gonna be boring and take the iPhone.
Wait, sorry.
I can't read.
Is that the MacBook Pro?
Yeah, this is the 2022 MacBook Pro.
Touch bar.
What about the other one?
That is a 2019 Intel MacBook Air with a dual core i5.
There's no new MacBook Pro?
There is an
HP Elite Dragonfly.
That's really not what I asked.
That is a gaming 2-in-1
Chromebook with a touchscreen.
Wait, there's no... Because this is my favorite product
that's ever been made. It's not available
in this.
Oh my god.
That'd be crazy if your favorite product
ever made was on this list.
The Porsche 911.
No, I'm going to go with
the iPhone 15 Pro.
The iPhone 15 Pro.
That'll be boring.
Oh no, I'm the last pick.
Well, I'm recording already.
I've been planning on it from the fucking start.
David, you said the iPhone, right?
Yeah, the iPhone.
The iPhone is officially part of David's everyday carry.
Yeah, you either get my car or you get a Boox.
I'm picking the Porsche 911 Turbo S.
You get a Boox, my friend.
Right out the gate.
Do you know how cool I'll look with that Boox
in a Porsche 911 Turbo S?
No, stop.
Andrew has taken...
The second I saw that, I was picking it.
Marquez's car.
Because then Marquez has to pick a Fiat or a Moto Cabracho.
I'm so sad now.
Well, I guess then I will take the Samsung Galaxy S24A.
Solid choice.
Totally reasonable daily driver.
S24A.
I still think it should be snake draft.
But...
Which would be me going again.
Which would be you going again.
But I say it isn't.
Okay.
So it's David.
It's David.
I fought for you, Marques.
I stole your car, but then I fought for you.
So just remember that.
I want the USB-C earpods.
USB-C earpods.
Not the AirPods, but the USB-C earpods.
Andrew, you need to interrupt his ecosystem.
I need.
Compatible with his iPhone and PC Pro.
I don't need anything else. Oh, we need to give him the HP.
I mean, I would prefer the HP to the touch bar.
I know, I...
Not the Intel MacBook Air.
I want to go...
No, I don't want the Intel one, bro.
I want YouTube.
Gross.
Damn, you made the MKBHD start.
YouTube.
Gross.
Damn, you made the MKBHD start.
Good pick, Andrew.
Alright, let me get the iPad Pro.
I'm building my life around this thing. That's a good one.
iPad Pro.
Wait, what's the M1 iPad Pro?
Who the frick cares?
A product I've used and owned.
So I like it.
Same, yeah.
I don't like cars, so I like that. Same, yeah. Yeah.
I don't like cars, so I'm going to go with the Moto Compacto.
The Moto Compacto.
Excellent choice. Is it the fast one?
No, but you don't want them.
Trust me, as I get something you own.
The Type R.
The Type R.
It's also worth noting that after Mariah chose YouTube, she immediately picked two cars with no phone.
I thought about that.
Mariah's was
YouTube,
iPad Mini, and then
the Porsche and the Fiat.
The Porsche and the Fiat?
I didn't think we could pick
multiple things from...
I want the iPad Mini.
You can pick Final Cut twice.
There's an iPad Mini?
Oh, yeah, because David just picked. You want the ipad mini you can pick final cut twice there's an ipad mini wait wait oh yeah because david just picked you want the ipad mini excellent choice i don't know it
was an ipad mini it's a really good ipad all right so does it have mobile because my phone's screwed
cellular or cellular you still don't you can't have a phone might it's got cellular the ipad mini
yeah that might save you does it have a cellular option you
yeah there's a cellular version right it's got a little like plastic cut out of it okay
we'll say it's oh right right right yeah let's go okay good pick uh so i got a phone i've got
the ipad pro um i know i'm gonna get the fiat eventually so i'm not even gonna pick it
actually, so I'm not even going to pick it.
You don't have to take it.
We have a Huawei MatePad Pro available. We have Adobe Premiere.
Yeah, I'm going to go...
Final cut for iPad.
Final cut for iPad.
Holy s***.
Can we make a rule real quick?
Everyone has to have something from each category.
No double categories.
Really? I think it's more fun that everyone has to pick
one from each one.
It could be more fun.
I think some of you guys
It's more fun if I steal.
I feel like it's fun to leave somebody with something
because they didn't pick from the category.
At the end, everyone can trade once.
I'm fine with training,
but I still think we should have to...
Because I don't have to pick the books,
but I feel like I should be stuck with the books
because I didn't pick a phone already.
Know what I mean?
But you have a cellular iPad mini.
But I'm just saying,
when there's only one thing left,
Marques has to pick the Fiat now,
which I feel like is part of the reason why we picked the cars.
I am open to it.
I think part of the fun of this comes from seeing where you are at the end and being like, well, I guess I just can't do this.
I like forcing the hand on someone else.
I think that's fun.
You know what?
See how we play the game.
Okay, for my pick.
Well, then you can disregard what I said before if you want.
We're not playing like that.
I've recommended this many times in the past and i think it's probably actually fine
i'm gonna go with the magic mouse no the intel macbook air oh god wait you think it's fine
it well it was when it was out sure that's how bad you that five years ago you don't want the macbook pro i don't need it i'm gonna
i'm gonna try to do everything on the ipad pro and then if i need to break out a laptop i've got
one but i'm gonna try not to use it you could you could with enough time probably cook an egg on
that computer well there's no fans on the macbook air so yeah it's gonna get kind of spicy no i
think there were fans back in the intel ones yeah yeah you're right yeah can you zoom out a little
absolutely i just want to see what the bottom oh oh yeah there is um i want to play dota so i'm
gonna do the m1 or the no not that no no the that one the touch Touch Bar MacBook Pro. Yeah. Excellent choice. 2022?
2022.
Nice.
Okay.
All right.
Since David wants to play Dota, I'm going to take the Logitech MX Master 3.
So he has to play with a trackpad or a magic mouse.
Sniped.
No.
And you could probably use that mouse with your iPad Mini.
I can use it with my Porsche 911 Turbo to sell the car and buy
everything else. So far, Andrew has the coolest
life here. It's not
even close. I
have to pick Spotify because Pandora
is free.
Spotify. Yeah.
Why is there no podcasting app?
Is it Pandora Premium
or Pandora Free?
I went under the assumption it was free i think it should have to be free pandora free with the ads yeah are you kidding me
how am i supposed to listen to podcasts i can't pick my song man no you have the iphone he's got
apple podcast is on the iphone but he can't use it he can't use it it's built in right
okay so I get to use it
I think if it comes with the phone
isn't YouTube built in
I didn't use Spotify either
YouTube doesn't come with the phone
really
I thought it was pre-installed
since 2007
no
because YouTube was one of the iphone apps before
the app store yeah but they i think by the time the iphone 4 i forget which ios that was but it
wasn't in included with the iphone 4 nor the 4s that's crazy nobody's sniping the fairbots
i don't need more headphones and i didn't want over here because when i'm running i don't like
to wear over-ear headphones.
Even though I see freaking psychos running in Brooklyn all the time
with AirPods Max.
Freaking insane.
I do see that.
Okay.
If I can use Apple Music, I don't need Pandora.
Right?
Yeah.
Does Apple Music?
Because you've got to pay for that separately.
I feel like that might be a separate subscription.
Yeah, so I'm going to say no.
All right.
You need Pandora.
I think I do.
You definitely don't need to pick it now, though,
because it's the only one left.
Oh, I guess unless we're allowed to pick multiple.
I'll take Pandora.
Yeah, because they're going to pick so I can't.
Are we Pandora?
No, no, no.
I need some sort of mouse.
Andrew.
I'm going to use the magic mouse.
Magic mouse.
This is why I think the forcing other people.
It's better than the trackpad for Dota, bro.
Oh, Marcus.
Sorry.
Wait, I think Andrew might be onto something with that because then you have to force.
It forces other people to pick things.
To pick something.
I think so.
Let's try it.
We'll lock it down.
We'll lock it in.
Everyone has to have one thing from each category.
Okay.
Everyone's good with that.
I think we're still in the right spot.
Wait, Marques, you didn't pick Final Cut yet?
He's going to pick Final Cut for iPad.
I'm going to go...
Oh, yeah, he has to.
I'm going to go Premiere.
Yeah, because what are you going to do on your iPad with regular Final Cut?
Well, and I know I'm already stuck with the HP laptop anyways.
No, I'm picking Final Cut then.
Give me final cut because
i got for ipad no no i need final cut oh you took the mac oh yeah okay you have a macbook air and
that's gonna be my my final cut machine i think you might have more luck with the final cut for
ipad i see where mark there's a dual core i5 on inside that will you have an ipad and a computer i might
just be doing this to spite david wait if you think about it doesn't have an ipad who needs
to get final cut i care about ipad bro perfect i can use cap cut no you can't you have to use
what's on the list that is true david you will you are sort of forced now to have Final Cut for iPad and a Huawei MatePad Pro.
So that.
All right.
I'm keeping Final Cut.
Okay.
I'm going to now go with the Pebble.
Okay.
And I should have mentioned this earlier.
In this universe, because on this podcast, we love Pebble smartwatches.
It works.
Yeah, it works still. i kind of wanted it with
for my books but the label didn't go with it bro that would have been so i kind of thought i was
free i would get it for free but david did snipe it yeah i knew the label okay okay my turn i'm
gonna go you can get for free i kind of i guess it makes the most sense to take...
You know, I'll get the...
I don't really like AirPods Max,
so I'll take the Apple Watch
because it'll fit with my iPad Mini.
Well, you can't.
Oh, I am set up nice.
No, you need a phone.
Oh, you are set up nice.
Yeah, you've got a good spot.
Okay.

Let's take it from the top.
Let's take it from the top.
David, what do you have?
What's your full everyday carry?
Everyday, love to use my iPhone 15 Pro
with my
Apple EarPods USB-C. Can you fix your mic? Love to use my iPhone 15 Pro with my Apple EarPods USB-C.
Wait, can you please fix your mic?
Love to use my iPhone 15 Pro with my Apple EarPods USB-C.
I never realized those were that.
I thought it was AirPods.
No, USB-C.
Nice.
Okay.
Driving my Honda Moto Compacto through Brooklyn,
carrying my MacBook Pro with Touch Bar in my backpack.
Of course, using the Magic Mouse because it makes me magic at Dota 2.
Think of all the macros you can put on the swipe features.
My Pebble smartwatch is getting me through the day with its e-ink display.
Final cut for iPad.
On your MatePad Pro
is being used on my MatePad Pro
so when I take the
subway, when I take the train home
from my Moto Compacto I can edit
can drop in my edits
and I'm jamming to free
Pandora
I love that it's free Pandora
there's probably someone in Brooklyn with this exact
everything they're just accidentally paying for I love that it's free, Pandora. There's probably someone in Brooklyn with this exact evidence.
They're just accidentally paying
for the subscription for Final Cut Pro
for iPad, but isn't using it anymore.
Exactly. All right, Andrew, you're up.
What's your EDC?
As someone who has a MatePad Pro...
Is there one more?
Why do you have a MatePad Pro?
Because before I bought an iPad,
I just grabbed it from the office to use for a weekend.
Dude, it is the most, it's actually like,
the screen's nice and the hardware is nice,
but just like it, because it's Huawei,
the OS is ripped so hard from iPadOS.
And it just, it does not have any features.
Yeah, not hard enough to run Final Cut for iPad.
Not, you can't, it's okay.
Anyway, Andrew, why don't you tell us
about your sweet new life? enough to run final cut frat not you can't it's okay anyway andrew why don't you tell us about
your sweet new life all right i'm just cruising in my porsche 911 turbo s while watching youtube
videos that's dangerous on my ipad mini uh it does have cellular very important for later on
right i do have a logitech mx master which is going to be hard to play games on my hp dragonfly
later but also premiere works on windows
made it out there but does it work on chromebook yeah that's a chromebook yeah it's a chromebook
okay i don't know so i don't know if you're at any videos is there premiere on ipad yeah yeah
yeah okay premiere rush is that still a thing i might be tough we might be spending a lot of money on something I can't use
my Apple smartwatch
because helps later
as well I'm hoping that one of those
no you won't be able to use
that at all
you need an iPhone
but you wear it to make people think that you're wealthy
except you won't be able to
activate it
you just wear it.
Just to tell the time.
Maybe a genius at the Apple store will let me start it up on something.
That's wild.
I should not have picked that.
Fairphone, Fairbuds XL.
They kind of look cool.
Actually, I'll look sick in the Fairphone
Fairbuds.
On my lawnmower at home so i
think that's pretty sweet hp dragonfly chromebook i missed that that was a chromebook how much do
you think this costs too much so it's a gaming chromebook that also has a touchscreen and folds
all the way back so if it can run games though why can't it run fold all the way back what games
does it run i don't know i just searched gaming chromebook and this was like nineteen hundred dollars and i was like that is so funny i bet there's a way to get premiere on it somehow um are we looking at
the specs elite nineteen hundred dollars for a chromebook no way people's oh i was wrong it's $2,100 13-inch core i3 oh my god what who is getting scammed by gamers it's only $1,800
with a code look it has a pen from hp it costs that much $2,200 there's no way it has for an i3
it has eight gigs of ram this is insane this can't be real go on best buy i got scared it has one rating
somehow the 911 turbo s is not the most overpriced thing in my everyday carry insane
um by elite gaming chromebook all right well my other things though
that's a normal price it doesn't appear to be sold. Well, I mean, people expect me to have the most expensive Chromebook
when I roll up in my Porsche and then pull out my Boox Palma.
He sells it for $1,200.
You're like, take down my number.
You got five minutes, guys.
Yeah, I know.
So, yeah, I have my Boox Palma,
which looks super cool after I get out of my Porsche.
So I think that's a pretty solid set.
I'm pumped about it.
Marques might fire me, but...
Because you miss every call.
Well, and because we can't upload
anything to YouTube anymore because...
No, you just drive home and then upload from there.
All right, Marques Brownlee,
the greatest tech reviewer on the planet.
All right, welcome to my daily driver set.
I've got a Samsung Galaxy S24.
Great.
Cool.
That's my phone.
But I'm also carrying around an iPad Pro M1,
which is an incredibly powerful tablet.
But just in case I need to drop a couple edits on Spotify,
I've got a MacBook Air.
It's an Intel MacBook Air, but that's okay
because I can edit those podcasts real quick
in Final Cut Pro X.
I also will be noise-cancing the world out with airpods max
and i'll also be listening to spotify galaxy so that's for the macbook and the ipad
what will when you will you be able to change like your noise canceling and stuff probably
without oh yeah oh really yeah yeah okay yeah it pairs like i mean you don't have to have an iphone
to have those okay unlike the watch situation uh but i do have oh i didn't even realize it's the watch 5 golf edition golf edition so that's connecting straight to my s24
and i'm gonna play some golf and i'm gonna get there in my the coolest car we've ever had at
the studio 500 where are you gonna golf clubs in the passenger seat, yup. It's the old one.
I didn't even know you put the old trackpad on here.
It's the old trackpad.
The one that has a battery.
I carry it around to like shovel things.
I don't actually use the trackpad, but I have one.
I think we should ask our audience to vote for who has the best.
Who won the draft and why is it me?
Because of Motocompacto.
You know what's funny?
Like, I have like six shirts total, right?
I haven't bought new-
There's seven days.
That's right.
That's right.
I haven't bought new clothes in years.
And people are always like, what?
And so, you know, people spend their money on different weird things this is clearly
this list is like clearly we spend our we have different priorities right because i don't need
a car i don't need a smartwatch unless it's ink i don't need a tablet i don't need youtube but i got
pandora free and uh and i got my iphone that's exactly why we thought this would be such a fun segment see
where your priorities lie i want to do drafts more often if there's other ways of that thinking this
i will also say and jj reddick used to do this a lot more on his podcast they would do drafts
where you can just come up with whatever you want so he would have categories and whatever you can
think of on the fly i was debating that but we also wanted you guys to kind of like pit against each other.
There's too much tech to do it that way.
So with tech, this was perfect.
But yeah, this is we should do more drafts.
Drafts are so much fun.
I think this is a super fun game to play.
All right, Marques, take us out.
Well, let us know who won in the comments section and specifically why.
Like which one of our daily
drivers could you actually live with?
And let us know
who won. That's it. Can someone
also calculate who has the highest
MSRP of all of these? It's you, Andrew.
I think it's me, just with that. It's not close.
Porsche 911. Well, then
figure out Marquez and David's and see if they
have a Honda motor. Oh, yeah. Actually, never mind.
It's very obvious. It's a thousand dollars. Oh, yeah. Actually, never mind. It's very obvious. It's $1,000.
It without the cars.
Yeah.
Andrew, you not only have the most expensive car, you also have the most expensive computer.
Yeah.
Don't remind me.
And the most expensive video editing software.
That's crazy.
That's true.
That's infinite.
It's infinitely expensive.
All right.
Well, we'll see what you guys say in the comments.
But either way, catch us back in the next regular episode on Friday, and we'll see what you guys say in the comments but either way catch
