Texan Michael Garfield good afternoon
I love the new digs right very sweet huh
have you here good it's good to be here
I liked when you say smart home is it
makes me feel smart I'm really not I
just show off smart products but tech
and travel go well this is the middle of
the summer we still got about a month or
so of traveling and I got some items
over here that is gonna make your life
easier and also your home safer when
you're when you're traveling a lot great
well starting with this very cool pack
from National Geographic I love the feel
of this is nice this is from Eagle Creek
which is a great manufacturer of a
wonderful luggage and suitcases but they
partner with National Geographic and
this is called their Explorer series and
if you can feel the fabric it's whether
we ask number one because it's not
waterproof it's not waterproof but it's
very close it's weather resistant but
it's not just the the outside or the
inside of it's also the zippers and
you're ready to go
but it's feel out light it is there pick
it up it's so light oh it's so and if
you know you've got a 50-pound limit
when you're going on on an airplane I
mean you're already you know ahead of
the game with this only weighs just just
a few pounds take out look at the bottom
that the wheels are treaded so know
whatever terrain you're going on it's
gonna you know go over there really
really easily and then and for a bonus
this is actually an expandable look at
the back take a look at the back start
across these are straps to make it into
a backpack they pull out of the backpack
so it's a convertible so if you just
want to roll it if you want to carry it
from two sides or you could put strap it
on your back runs about $350 and there's
a whole line of this which they had the
whole line but this is actually just the
the converter you go to a packing class
who's traveling this great expandable
pack very light I love this thing and
again it's eagle creek national
Geographics here's your shoes and makeup
oh I don't think I'm a horrible I know I
do need okay outdoor camera very smart
you leave your home okay what happens
you want to monitor
now webcams I've been on this show well
over a year and I show you different
webcams
this is something new that's one this is
different because this is a 360 degree
webcam and what you can do it goes
outdoors or indoors but I like it on
outdoors and I think we
a shot appear in a second of my of your
backyard there's my backyard that's the
golf camp so instead of just an angle of
one spot exactly Courtney have it
normally it's about a hundred to a
hundred and thirty degree angle when
you're looking at a regular webcam which
is not you know even you know 180
degrees looking right now you've got 360
degrees thanks this camera you download
the app on your phone you can take your
finger and you can swipe left swipe
right and you can see all over your back
wait so does it move how does it get
very hundred sixty degrees doesn't move
because it's got a special lens over you
but how does it see behind it it's
there's there's no behind think about if
it's hanging from the top it's got it's
got this camera that acts as a fisheye
lens that you can see it everywhere I
see so doesn't get the sky above exactly
it goes this way but you can on it this
way this way no better it is it's about
$200 and it works very very well again
it's accessible and battery rechargeable
battery you don't even need to plug it
in very nice awesome
okay and indoor and outdoor now too I
like it definitely for outdoors okay
speaking about there you like this Derek
I don't know why you were so excited
about the smart hose feature dude
because I need this at our house Brian
and I are out there at night like with a
watering can watering our garden take a
look I'll let you hold it that's how
light it is you this is from a company
called bee hive hy-vee it's a smart hose
faucet timer what you do is you hook
this to your typical outlet your faucet
on the outside then you put your hose on
this side it's got Wi-Fi built in so you
download a free app no matter where you
are in the world you could turn on or
turn off your faucet is this is like
maybe if you don't have a sprinkler
system for a very specific area or if
you have plants and a lot of places you
can hook up your hose to your plants I'm
one of them also one extra feature this
also because it's connected to the
Internet and Wi-Fi you can get the
weather reports and it knows if it's
raining it turns off the water and then
let the water turn on it's smart about
$69 for that okay not bad wow I'm
impressed
yeah you got is really really bad these
have been around a while but this is one
of the newest versions this is a from a
company in a product called photos
spring now this is the typical it's a
tablet over here and I'm talking to it
but this is a tablet it's a digital
photo frame now you've seen these for a
while but this is extremely extremely
light didn't those photo frames like
kind of go out of style a long time ago
a long time ago but they're coming back
now and this one is a little different
for it because this one number a few
things this does not only photos but it
can also do videos I got this and soon
as I finish here I'm shipping this up to
my grandmama my grandmother lives in
doubt she's 102 years old obviously she
doesn't have a smartphone she doesn't
have it but she's got what seven
grandkids and I don't know how many
great grandkids and so what we're all
gonna do we're gonna put it in her room
we all no matter how many people are on
the country as we travel the country we
got automatically within seconds send
pictures to her and it's a slideshow now
you could touch this and it goes back
and forth photos but it's neat videos
they're automatically playing and so you
can hear video here's sound and there's
there's a number different things you
can do plus you could pick it up and you
can turn it you know this way so so this
is coming directly from your phone
directly from a phone yeah it's a free
it's a free account this worm runs about
200 or so dollars
it's called photo spring and it works
really really well really like almost
out of time we've got to talk about this
headphone you while you sleep what do
you guys put this on all right Courtney
good go ahead cord so it's all yours
this is from a company called sleep
phones now if you can feel it inside
then back there it's it's like a
headband alright but there are
headphones little thin ones built on
each side of the ears good right
Bluetooth to your phone so you're they
want you to use it while you're sleeping
and so you can listen to soothing music
for some reason the phone rings you can
still use the whole thing too but you
can also use it when you're running and
when you're jogging when you're working
out but because you can lay your head
down on the pillow there's no big put
then the phone rings and it rings one
fire I would suggest turning your phone
off but it's on your phone off but put
the music on it's really nice because
you recharge it just by take technically
just putting on this thing it's a
wireless rechargeable yeah we always
love having you on the show it's fun
