Should your shoes come with Bluetooth?
Let's talk about that.
Good Mythical Morning.
At some point, we're all gonna have the ability
to get the iPhone Infinity microchip
implanted directly into our brains,
or somewhere in our bodies,
but until then, we're gonna have to settle on
wearable technology on our bodies.
Now, Rhett, I do want you to come clean, right now,
and tell the people,
did you ever consider getting Google Glass?
We did get Google Glass.
YouTube sent us Google Glass many years ago.
Remember the day we spent putting it on,
and you put it on, then I put it on,
then you put it on and I put it on,
and then we put it in a box and never took it out again.
Yeah, that's true.
Sorry, Google and YouTube.
There is a ton of wearable tech
that's being pumped into the market these days,
but most of it seems completely ridiculous,
which begs the question, does anybody really need
any of this high-priced stuff?
It's time for, "In the Future We'll Wear Tech That Goes
Beep Boo-Boo Bop.
Are These Inventions Legit or Complete Utter Flops?"
We'll be putting on and trying out
some new pricey wearable and questionable tech products,
then we'll pit them against much simpler wearable tech items
created by the Mythical Crew,
which might get the same job done
but with a smaller price tag.
Mm-hm, and at the end of each round,
we'll decide if the expensive wearable tech product
is worth the buy, or if you should just DIY.
Let's do it.
You notice anything different about me?
You got a new shirt.
How 'bout doya?
You got some new shoes on,
with some lights on the back.
They're sporty, huh?
They're also very heavy because these are
the DropLabs EP 01 shoes, that allow you to experience bass
in your feet, son!
So these things Bluetooth connect to your phone,
and I'm gonna play what I think
is the most pumped up kicking song that I know of.
Okay.
I'm gonna watch you.
♪ I'm so tight, so stressed ♪
♪ Need someone to rub my neck ♪
♪ Aw yeah, that's the spot ♪
♪ I like the way you work my muscle knots ♪
What's it feel like?
It just feels like my neighbors below me
in my apartment complex are playing my song,
that I'm also, I accidentally connected to their speaker,
you know what I'm saying?
And your feet.
So, you may not see it on my face,
but in my feet, I feel bass.
$300.
Okay, here's what I wanna say.
I could totally see,
and in some of the reviews they mention this,
that people playing video games,
people sit down and watch movies with this thing.
It's like, if you don't have a giant entertainment system
at your house that can shake your whole body,
and you're just like
"I kinda want it just to shake my feet,"
I could see these getting the job done.
I have an alternative.
Okay, all right.
Oh, those are stylish.
These right here, these are just cheap shoes.
But what I've done is-
I like a navy shoe.
I have bought $100 worth of personal massagers,
is what they're called on Amazon.
There's lots of little points around your body
that you might need to just massage just one point.
You can push the button and then ooh, that thing,
oh yeah.
Right there, oh, right there on the throat.
Belly button maybe?
There's lots of places you can find.
These are pretty cheap, the reviews are pretty good.
Reviews say things like "Gets the job done."
So, I'm gonna put those, i'ma turn 'em on,
and I'm gonna put 'em in here, inside of the shoe.
This is gonna do exactly the same thing
that my shoes were doing, I'm sure.
I'm gonna take my shoes off,
you take that basket...
Okay.
And then I'm gonna-
I got more over here,
I might be able to slide one of these suckers in there.
See if I can, oh, yeah, in the arch?
I can modulate this one with the song.
Oh, oh, nice.
All right, hit the song.
Here we go, so...
I mean, this feels like a foot massage.
I'm doing it. Yeah.
This hurts. I mean I'm stepping on personal massagers.
Yeah. Hey, but you look really cool.
I can't even find rhythm.
Can you tell that this one's going with the beat?
Oh yeah, it's throttling my-
Is it pulsating? Would you say it's pulsating?
Pulsating and throttling my feet.
You know what? I mean there's other places that you...
The advantage of what you've done
is you can put one in here.
Oh yeah, put it in there, oh.
My feet feel shaky.
We could get one right here.
Yeah. Put one on my, ya.
They call this a bullet massager.
Do they?
I don't know what you aim it at, but...
Ooh!
I'm vibrating your third eye.
I'm not doing that to my tongue.
How's that?
Oh, I got one- Ooh, that's my nip.
Ooh, ooh, wow.
Looks like he's having more fun than me.
Put some oil on my chest, give me a two-handed attack.
Now, okay, Link's obviously having a lot of fun,
more fun than I'm having right now,
but, I think the fact that it's not coordinated with,
the thing about these is that it's literally coordinated
with the thing, man.
I'm saying that as the guy who's wearing these things,
it's $300, yes, but if you really wanna immerse yourself
into a video game or something,
I'm gonna say DropLabs' $300 vibrating shoes, buy!
Notice anything different about me?
You're lying in a hospital bed.
That's right.
All right, this next piece of wearable tech
solves the problem of deep sleepers not waking up,
or somebody-
You're a deep sleeper.
I'm not as deep as my son, Lincoln.
He sets eight different alarms,
because he doesn't even trust the snooze.
Well, this thing, the Pavlok 2, costs $180,
you wear it like a wristwatch,
it looks like a overblown Fitbit.
Basically, you set the time for your alarm,
and this thing shocks you to wake you up,
and it does not stop shocking you,
I have not experienced this the first time.
I get a little nervous when I'm putting something on me
that I know is gonna shock me.
'Cause I have control of it with this app.
It does not stop shocking you until you get up
and do jumping jacks for 10 seconds.
You gotta get up and get your arms moving.
I'll go one notch tighter.
You're going a little bit loose on it.
I mean, that's tight.
Are you scared?
Yeah.
Are you sleepy?
No.
Okay, well just relax, I'm gonna tell you a little story.
Okay.
Okay, this is the story of the little bean
that went on a journey into my mouth.
When the evening started he was with all his buddies
in a big pot, and was like
"Wow, wow, where are we going, what are we doing?"
How do you go to sleep
knowing you're gonna wake up being shocked?
And then, when the spoon came into the bowl,
and picked him and his buddies up, he's like
"Oh, guys, this is crazy,
we're going into the mouth
of this small-mouthed man with a lot of hair!"
And then they went inside my little mouth,
and I chewed that sucker up, and he was like
"Okay, this is not cool." Oh, gosh!
Stop, stop. Ooh, ooh!
Okay, okay.
Is it good?
Okay. I think it's done.
It hit me three times.
I can't control it, I can only set the alarm,
I can't hit a button, I would've done that already.
I mean, that is a disturbing way to wake up.
It got you up quick.
Did I soil the bed?
I think he wet the bed a little.
I don't have this problem, so I don't need this
as a $180 solution, but I will tell you,
if you do have the problem, this has got to work.
But what's the alternative to this?
'Cause this is pretty expensive.
Oh, I've got an alternative. Lay down, Rhett.
Here it is.
It's a stun cane.
Do we still have this thing?
All you need is a friend to come over to your house
and make sure you wake up. Hold on, but you just had
all that pleasure earlier, you got pleasure on your nipple
and on your forehead,
I think maybe you need a little pain payback.
You know what,
I'll give you a little pleasure when this is done.
Can I be pleasured while it's happening?
Just lay down and go to sleep.
I hate that thing!
It's got...
You can also wear this.
I don't want that!
Oh...
All right, first of all...
Oh, god.
Hey, I've never, can I stand?
I don't wanna lay down, I wanna stand up,
I wanna be able to move.
'Cause I feel so exposed right now,
you're just gonna...
Lemme stand up.
I sleep standing up, I'm like a horse.
Oh god, I'm sweating, man.
I'm up, I don't need to get up, I'm up!
You are a deep sleeper.
I'm not a deep sleeper at all,
I wake up as soon as the sun hits the window.
I'm like a vampire.
He needs a bedtime story, Link.
Once upon a time there was a lovely lady,
who was making some beans for her man.
So nervous, I hate this.
And he closed his eyes.
I'm not closing my eyes, I sleep with my eyes open,
I'm like a horse.
Here. Take that personal massager.
Put it in my pocket.
Just close your eyes.
I can't close my eyes!
What are you doing?
Getting too close to the top,
you're too close to the top.
Oh look, he's asleep.
Oh, god!
I got you once going and once coming.
That thing is horrible!
Hey, but this thing in my pocket feels nice.
I like it, you got any more?
Oh yeah, I got lots.
I think, if you got the problem,
you should not go for the stun cane,
you should go for the real thing.
That's where I'm going with this.
'Course I don't know where it is,
but when we find it, I'ma strap it to my son's arm
so that he's not late for school anymore.
Couldn't help but notice Rhett's new shirt.
It's a Mythical A Hot Dog is a Sandwich merch
for Josh and Nicole's podcast,
you can rep their podcast and also just wear a cool shirt
with a hot dog as a sandwich on it.
Go to Mythical.com and grab it up.
You notice anything different about me?
Besides the shirt?
Yeah.
You're holding something.
I am holding, Link,
the Moai N1 Plus Portable 2 in 1 Electric Scarf.
Yeah, this is a scarf.
This is a scarf.
Yeah, this thing can get hot, and cold,
that's the two in one.
Well a scarf can't get cold.
That's right.
Okay, so I'm gonna go ahead,
and I'm gonna turn it on cold mode,
'cause that's more interesting,
and I'm gonna turn on turbo mode.
So place it on my neck.
$156.
Now you can get a cold rag, put that on your neck,
but that's not gonna last long.
As this thing cools down, I'm feeling a little bit,
first of all, I just feel cool most of the time,
but I'm feeling a little bit cooler now.
I will say, you have to have your own portable battery pack,
which you then carry with you,
which I always thought was kinda cool anyway.
I would say it's going past cool and it's getting to cold.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
Because all of that blood flowing through your neck.
The reviews aren't bad on this thing,
I mean if you have hot flashes,
people are raving about it,
and there is a review from Willie Nelson himself,
gave a five star review, he said that he works in
a 100 degree warehouse all day.
I knew that about him, yeah.
I don't know, are you feeling it?
It kinda looks like you're wearing headphones
around your neck, so...
It's not making me feel cold enough
to be uncool and wear it,
does that make sense?
It's kinda canceling itself out a little bit.
I got something that'll make you feel cool
and be cool at the same time.
All right.
It's called frozen corn and peas.
And then, I got you, you just take this thing,
this is what they call duct tape, hold that for me.
Corn, peas,
corn, please,
personal massager.
Get it in there.
Corn, peas.
Now lap that puppy back over, oh yeah!
Bring her down, hand her over.
Smushy smushy smushy.
Use these scissors.
And now.
Is this on?
Is the personal massager on?
Oh, oh, oh, oh! Yeah.
Now, lemme tell ya...
Willie Nelson would be your friend
if you go into the warehouse like that.
Oh...
"Oh, you got corn, you got peas."
I mean this is cold.
And by this point, has it gotten unbearably cold?
Is it comfortably cold?
Is it $160 cold?
I think it's evened out, and I honestly don't think that
it's making a giant difference in my life.
When you put it into warming mode,
you can put a scarf around it.
Oops.
And, sorry.
And if you're interested in looking cool,
you need to go for more of a fashion statement,
check this out.
Big scarf, with the survival stuff on it,
and there's corn in there.
Lemme take this off.
You can leave that on.
I don't wanna be too cool, though.
And put my personal power bank...
Now does this have personal massagers in it?
And are they on?
Now, you can be cool and hot at the same time.
I like this.
That's what I feel like I was missing with this,
is that there's not a lot of air flow.
So maybe these things combined, but...
We're going DIY, clearly.
Even though, Willie, I'm not saying you're wrong,
I'm just saying it's not for us.
No, you're always right.
