- Okay, I see
a big Walmart box coming. (dramatic music)
Oof, all right.
Let's see what we got here.
Fitness Essentials Kit.
- [Ken] Yeah, you stopped working out, and now you need it.
- [Matt] Have you ever seen those like wacky
waving inflatable arm flailing tube men?
- That's, this is the gag?
This is what we do on Mystery Tech now,
roast me, make me work out,
and then say I'm as good looking as Chris Hemsworth?
- [Ken] Okay, but remember, remember,
this is not Mystery Tech.
- Oh, no.
I hate workout tech.
That's always the worst.
Okay, what is- - [Ken] Look on the side.
Look at the side.
It has a theme.
(Austin grunts)
This better not have been expensive.
We've got ourselves a foam mat.
- [Ken] Wait, don't you wanna try the rest of it first?
- What, what?
It's not even the right side up.
- I'll do downward dog.
- [Ken] Oh god, no!
- Okay, oh.
- [Ken] Oh, that's a lot of colors.
- So this is all just resistance bands.
That's all this is.
I want weight.
I don't want resistance.
I want to crush resistance.
Oh yeah, I guess a shout out.
I put my credit card in to activate my free subscription.
Hey, Matt, you wanna put your credit card in?
- Yeah, sure.
You pay for it.
(group laughs)
(upbeat music)
- [Austin] What do I do?
- Strong wrist, and pulse.
We're warming up as we go.
- Whoa.
- [Matt] You feeling the burn yet?
- This is not fun.
Can I just do my own thing yet?
Let's just go extra heavy, extra dumb mode.
Ready, and one.
- What is this?
What...
Oh, I love Fortnite.
Oh, that's, well. (laughs)
You've been doing- - Yeah, but that's curl.
That's not fun.
What? - It's not supposed to be fun.
- It's exercise.
- But that's not exciting.
I wanna put on some- - Yeah.
Why do you think I look like this?
- I'm like a dog.
You put the treat out and I'm like, "Whoo, Mystery Tech
Mystery Tech." - [Matt] Here, here.
Here's the box.
- "Oh, Mystery Tech." (pants) - [Ken] Here's the box.
- "Mystery Tech, Mystery Tech."
- [Ken] Here's the box, here's the box.
Ha.
- Ah, Mystery Tech!
Shargeek.
Is this the thing that all the cool kids are using now?
- [Matt] About nine months ago.
- These are like these little USB-C batteries,
but they're like clear
and they have like little screens on them and stuff.
Hey, let's take a look, let's take a look.
Okay.
Wow!
That's just got like aluminum.
Look at how much like is on that UI there.
Holy balls.
I really like the fact that it's nicely like transparent
so you can see the capacitors,
you can see like the USB controllers
and all that kind of stuff.
It does say airline safe, which I'm assuming it is.
Yeah, it's 93.5 watt-hours.
I mean, that's enough to charge your phone
probably three or four times.
- [Matt] According to their spec sheets,
an iPhone, seven times.
- Also, shout out to this yellow cable.
I'm going to steal this yellow cable.
So before I do this, let's take a look at the Slim.
So I think the reason the Slim exists
is entirely because this is a more
like practical sort of spot.
I think it's a little easier to like drop in a bag.
Okay, wow!
We can do 130 watts out.
- [Matt] So it's 100 on the USB-C and 30 on the USB-A.
- [Austin] Ooh, that's good.
- [Matt] So it's 130 simultaneous.
- So you look at the two of these,
this guy has a little bit more capacity
and has an additional USB-C port in the DC
but it can actually push out the same amount of power.
This will charge basically any USB-C device at max speed.
100 watts, as I'm recording this video, is the max
that any USB-C device that I know will take.
So it's been a little while since I've filmed that segment
and I've actually started using the Storm 2 Slim
as my everyday battery.
Now, mind you, I don't actually use it every day,
but it lives in my backpack.
And the ability for it to not only charge my laptop,
but phone and everything else while I'm on the go,
is really helpful.
Yes, it is expensive,
a little bit more so that it should be.
But the fact that it looks cool,
it's got this much capacity, it's got a little screen,
like I legitimately like it.
It's just a little too much.

What is a Prinker?
Is it like Prinker?
A printer?
Well, it says black ink on it.
Does anyone elaborate?
- [Matt] No, you're supposed to open these.
- I asked,
okay, but before I get into it, I don't know anything.
- [Matt] You've gotten lazy in your old age.
- More joyful, more creative, more like you.
Prinker, temporary tattoo.
Is it a temporary tattoo machine?
- [Matt] Yeah, mm-hmm.
- Okay, skin primer.
Oh, this got a little more serious.
How temporary are these tattoos, I wonder.
- [Matt] About seven to eight weeks.
- Oh!
- [Matt] I have no idea.
I'm actually- - Oh, okay.
- [Matt] I just made that up.
- Okay, good, good, good.
Okay.
Log in or just wanna browse around?
I just wanna browse around.
Oh, so there's a bunch of like tattoo things
I can just grab, right?
So we've got the Overclock logo,
the only tattoo I actually have.
That's it right there.
- [Matt] Where you got that one?
- Don't worry about it.
- [Crowd] Aww.
- There we go.
I'm gonna get this tattooed, send a photo,
and see what happens.
Oh, wait, there's text.
Oh, I could just...
(Kinsey laughs)
That's fine.
- All right, let me help you out with this.
We wanna make sure this goes where it should go.
- Oh, no.
Are you-
- Take it off, boy.
- Can you spray the area?
- [Ken] It's like Sally from Cars.
(group laughs)
- Oh, that's cold, that's cold!
That's cold, oh!
Whoo, that's cold! - All right.
- Okay, are you gonna print me now?
This smells like hairspray. - [Matt] Go for it.
- Why does it smell like hairspray?
(group laughs) Did it do it?
Did it do it?
Did it work?
- Sort of.
- Wait, spray it quick.
Water seal it.
- It's actually not bad for one pass with-
- (laughs) That looks terrible!
That looks terrible!
I don't think she's gonna buy that.
Wait, I wanna do another one.
I wanna do another one.
- [Matt] Again, where we put it is really important.
- Stop, I'm not taking my clothes off anymore.
Mystery Tech.
- [Kinsey] Oh, it's like a cowboy font!
- [Austin] Yeah, all right!
- [Kinsey] Yeehaw!
- Let's send it.
So I just line it up and press it?
- [Matt] Yep.
- I can't see it too well.
Okay, I'm just gonna do it.
Ready?
- [Matt] Yeah, there you go.
Keep it firm. - Okay, nice and slow.
Oh, it's coming out.
Oh, it's very bad.
It's very bad.
(Ken laughs) - [Matt] Oh.
- [Austin] Not the Mystery Tech that I had in mind.
- [Matt] But the, really, it's the Mystery Tech
that comes out at the end of the episode.
- (laughs) Good lord, Ken.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no!
Ken, what are you doing?
No!
Slow and straight.
Don't get it crooked, and don't go too fast.
Otherwise, it's gonna be smudged.
- [Kinsey] There's nothing straight what's happening here.
- Yeah, there's nothing straight.
(Kinsey laughs)
- Big facts.
- [Ken] This is the most gay thing
we've ever done on Mystery Tech.
All right, ready?
- [Kinsey] That's probably not true.
- No, you're absolutely right. (Austin laughs)
- Kinsey, why do you have to say the truth?
- Okay.
Okay, ready? - Okay, okay, okay.
Very calm, very smooth, okay.
- Okay.
- [Austin] No, no, no, it's not ready.
- [Matt] Yeah, it is.
- [Austin] That was-
- [Kinsey] No!
- I made a mistake!
- [Matt] You gotta do that way slower, man.
- Oh, man.
This angle is-
- [Kinsey] Yeah, this angle is so sus.
(Ken laughs)
- The Liddle Speaker.
- [Matt] Oh, the Liddle Speaker?
- It's the Liddle Speaker.
- [Matt] It's just a little guy.
- Tu tu tu tu tu. - [Matt] Liddle Speaker.
- Oh, it's just a little guy.
So it's magnetic, wireless, with stereo surround sound
even though it's, what?
- [Ken] Two speakers. - Stereo surround sound.
It's one little speaker.
(Kinsey laughs)
- [Matt] Oh god.
- What?
They're trying to tell me that this is little?
And I'm curious how this works.
Oh.
I've got two magnetic rings.
So it's literally an adhesive and a strip of metal
and it goes.
I'm pretty much committing
to this strip of metal always being on my phone
- [Matt] Unless you have an iPhone.
- All right.
Okay, it is MagSafe compatible, so-
- Ish, ish, ish.
I would not pick up your phone but,
oh god, oh god.
Ha. - See,
that's what you call reflexes, my friend.
- We can all assume what the usefulness of this is,
but we don't know what it sounds like yet.
- I mean, it's small, so it's gonna be mid.
- I think it'll be better than your phone speaker.
(upbeat music)
Okay, distorted- - Ugh!
(Matt laughs)
No!
- Distorted bass. - No!
No, no.
- Okay, so hold on.
Now, let me pause this.
We'll just switch to the iPhone.
(laid back music)
- Okay, now the iPhone speaker's better.
(group laughs) - Way better.
Way better!
Dude, that is hot poop,
the hottest of poop.
- HP?
- Shh, aw, wow, jibow, wow!
- [Matt] I'm sorry, what?
- Wuju wow!
This is a big,
this is a big guy.
This is a big guy.
Let's see what we got.
Polaroid?
What company licensed Polaroid this time?
- [Matt] Ah!
- So actually, there's a couple things in here.
So we've got the Polaroid P1 Music Player,
which I assume is a little Bluetooth speaker.
Also, apparently, if you have two of these,
you can get true stereo pairing
'cause you can just tap them together
and they will be paired.
Kinda neat.
But then there's also this big chungus,
and I don't know what the big chungus is.
So the Polaroid P4.
Is this just gonna be like a big speaker?
I'm assuming it's just gonna be a big speaker, right?
Okay, it's a little boombox.
All right.
(speaker thuds)
- [Matt] Oh. - [Ken] Ooh, that's beefy.
- [Austin] You know what?
I mean, as a fan of yellow, I am a big fan of this device.
- [Kinsey] It's an egg.
It looks like an egg.
There should have been a Gudetama like crossover.
- Yes. - [Group] Gudetama!
(laid back music)
- No.
I just hear the bass buzzing.
Let's find a track that I know a little bit better.
(upbeat music)
Sounds better, actually.
I do wanna try though the P1
and see how they sound side by side.
(laid back music)
All right, the P1 is obviously way smaller.
I don't think it sounds great.
Like, it sounds okay.
It's obviously a smaller speaker.
And the look of it, I think, is really nice.
It feels like it's built well.
So my question before I can render judgment
on Polaroid's resurrection is,
what are the prices of the P1 and the P4?
- [Matt] Take a guess.
- Okay, I'm gonna say this,
40 bucks.
This,
100 bucks.
- [Matt] P1.
- Yeah, I said $40 for P1 is my guess.
- [Matt] Is $60.
- No, okay.
Moving on, P4.
- [Matt] Can we get a closeup on Austin for a sec?
- Oh no.
- [Matt] So this one is $290.
Oof.
- No!
Can I please have an item?
Oh, it's a little item.
It's a Duncan yo-yo.
So a Duncan yo-yo, clearly the best kind of yo-yo.
But why is this on Mystery Tech?
- [Ken] Because you're Duncan.
- [Matt] 33, oh-three, three something.
I forgot how many threes.
- [Ken] 33303.
- That's the joke, that duncan33303?
- Matt] That's the whole thing!
- Okay, here's the thing.
If you're not familiar,
if you are a newer subscriber to the channel,
and by newer, I mean you've subscribed
since the year of 2012, you won't know
that my original YouTube name was duncan33303.
In fact, you can still go to youtube.com/duncan33303
and that's the core URL of this channel.
- [Matt] Where did Duncan come from?
- Duncan came from,
okay, a long story.
When I first got online, my mom told me
to be afraid of the internet (thunder rumbles)
because there are creepos around.
So I used a fake name.
My friend and I both created fake names.
Mine was Duncan.
Actually, I believe it came from a Lemony Snicket book,
from "A Series of Unfortunate Events."
But once the channel
actually started to become more successful,
it was one of those things where I'm like,
okay, I'm not gonna pretend to be Duncan forever.
I'm gonna yo-yo now.
I have not yo-yoed in so long.
Yo-yos are fun.
Like, I never could do like the real tricks.
- [Matt] Hey, look at,
oh, he's doing- - I almost-
- [Matt] He's doing the flick.
- Oh! (Matt laughs)
Geez!
- I caught it.
So you may be familiar with a company called Nothing.
Yes, Nothing, as in-
- [Ken] Like something?
- Nope.
One of the co-founders of OnePlus left the company
and created Nothing,
which is a company that creates something.
They have a couple products at this point.
They have the Nothing phone.
They also have the Nothing earbuds.
And this is the Nothing Ear Stick,
which, I will admit, not a great name, but it looks neat.
I know this is only 99 bucks too.
But on the other side, for 99 bucks,
you're losing things like active noise canceling.
So pop off the top.
Ooh, wait.
Wait, this is neat.
Wow!
Okay, I will say that's some style right there.
Oh my god, are you serious?
- [Ken] Let's go.
- That's dope!
You'd see that,
I mean, the actual case is gonna be probably too big
to fit in most pockets, so this is gonna be more of a thing
that you're gonna want in your bag.
But I think with this,
it's a little bit more of a fashion statement?
I don't think that's unreasonable to say.
So I will say immediately, they have a very unique design.
The stems are all clear,
so you really have to kind of look up very close to them.
But you can see a lot of the circuitry,
the batteries, the magnets.
They look neat.
But then the actual ear tips themselves are,
they're plastic.
So they're kind of like those old school AirPods.
There's not an actual like rubber tips or something,
which I know some people prefer.
I'll go ahead and pop these in.
Oh, that's actually comfy.
All right, let's see here.
So we've got controls,
which I can just customize if I want to.
And then I've got my equalizer,
which it's just set to balanced.
So I'll just start with that.
Okay, so immediately, not bad.
You don't have the seal,
so I think that's one of the places
where a higher end earbud is gonna give you
a little bit more of a bass kick
just because you're actually gonna have
like a proper sort of seal.
- [Matt] So with not having the seal, they bleed pretty bad.
- Oh, do they?
- Yeah, so while you might like the sound,
your neighbor on the bus will not.
- You might not wanna buy these
as your main, only, everyday pair of earbuds.
For me, I think I'd still lean toward the Beats Studio Buds,
which you can routinely find on sale for 100 to 125 bucks.
I think they're a more well-rounded earbuds
that can kind of do it all.
But props to Nothing for doing something different
because this is neat.
- Welcome to a new segment on Mystery Tech
called "Reviewing Austin Evans' Thermal Paste Patterns."
In this case, we are going to start
with potentially the worst offender, which is this one.
(record scratches) - Who let you in the studio?
- Oh.
You guys didn't tell me Austin was here.
- [Matt] We hoped he wasn't.
- I was coming to shoot Mystery Tech today.
- [Matt] Yeah, but Adam was here.
- [Adam] Welcome to- - Am I being replaced.
- Welcome to your roast
of thermal paste patterns. (Matt laughs)
(Adam laughs)
- So if you're not familiar, my good buddy,
mryeester here, we've actually done
a couple of videos together at this point.
- A couple, yep.
- And I guess today, we're looking at the DualSense Edge.
So the DualSense Edge is the first time
that Sony have ever released a pro controller, right?
Similar to something like the Xbox Elite controller.
The idea is this is going to give you
customizable like paddles.
You can actually swap the sticks out
when they inevitably start to drift.
All right.
Here, my friends, is the DualSense Edge.
- [Adam] Wow.
I mean, it does look pretty sleek.
- It's a little heavier.
Also, I thought,
watching videos, I thought that this piece
was like aluminum or something.
It's just like shiny plastic that's like piano black.
- [Ken] That's the biggest flaw I think from everything.
- So unfortunately, our PS5 is currently out of date.
So we'll be right back
after a quick little update of our firmware.
We'll give a very thorough test
assuming our PS5 is up to date today or maybe tomorrow.
Let me walk you through my DualSense Edge setup.
So I have chosen to go
with the tall dome stick for my steering.
I have mapped my shift buttons to the rear paddles.
And I have adjusted my left stick sensitivity
to be a little bit more gradual.
- [Ken] Right-hand drive, let's go!
- Oh no, the shift doesn't work.
Oh no, the shift doesn't work.
Okay, so that's one problem here.
Oh, it didn't save my profile.
Oh no! - [Ken] Oh.
That would make a lot of sense.
- But wait, I even made it.
Am I stupid?
- [Matt and Ken] Yeah.
- Oh, okay.
Oh wait, it was here.
Okay, just hang on.
Oh, you need to assign it.
All right, now can I go back to the game?
Yes, I can, all right.
Okay, it does,
I can confirm it does work.
Let's go!
Third place!
Third best, baby!
The DualSense Edge is a nice controller.
There's no doubt.
If you are in the market for a pro controller
on the PlayStation side, this is clearly your option.
But the DualSense is probably the greatest controller
that you can buy right now.
Like, I honestly believe that.
But if you wanna know more about pro controllers
we've done an entire "This Is" all about the very best
and the very worst pro controllers out there.
Wonder where the DualSense Edge is gonna land.
Below the Elite controller. (clears throat)
- [Joanna] Bye.
Uh.
Okay.
