(gentle music) - Hello?
- Hi. - Hi everyone.
Welcome to a new video.
- We just shot a podcast.
- We did just shoot a podcast and I was like,
this is great while I have you in while we have make up on.
And while the camera is on all very rare things to happen
at the same time,
I thought we could talk about our favorite tech of 2020,
top five. - I can't wait to tell you
my favorite tech of 2020.
- I think we should start,
go five, four, three, two, one, to your favorite device
or whatever. - Five, four, three, two.
- So you start with five,
like least favorite out of five.
- No, I don't.
I mean i don't know, I don't have a list.
- You don't have a list?
- Well, I have a list,
but they're all my favorites.
- Okay. - You know, they are all equal
- No, they're not.
- They are. - No, they're not.
- Yes. - Cause you already said
you had one that was number one.
- Because I've made, I just wrote down the list.
So. - Okay, I'm going to go
from my number five favorite item of 2020.
- Mine are all equal.
- Well, whatever. Okay.
So what's your number five? - (laughs)
A thermometer.
- Oh. - It's infrared.
I test myself every day to see if I have COVID.
- I mean, is that really an accurate test?
- Honestly, I don't know.
- Gimme, what are you? - 99.
- 99.6.
Are you dead? Are you a zombie?
Oh my gosh. She's turning into a zombie.
- Not even four.
- You're running warm. - (chuckles)
- Well, we also just got COVID tests, three of them,
three negative COVID tests.
(upbeat music) Getting a little hot.
99.5
- Okay. - This is super inconsistent.
- So I'm glad this is your favorite tech.
It is very important for health tech.
My favorite number five is this surface duo.
- Is that mine?
- No, you idiot. This is mine.
- You brought it?
- Yeah, I was prepared.
- Oh, you were prepared.
Okay. So here's the thing.
I actually forgot about that, but that is, that is,
would be on my list as well.
- I know. And here's another thing
that kind of goes along with it.
It's the cloud-based gaming, because think about it,
think about it Justine. - I'm thinking about it.
- What they did, like I was playing Halo on this device
or any other android device,
but I just really love look what they did with the duo.
The Z fold would have been on my list,
but I had to give it back. Okay.
Number four, Justine.
- Mine are not in any order.
We're actually filming audit right now.
The a7S III. Is that on your list too?
- It might be.
So this camera has basically changed the game and it was
also one of the most exciting times this year for us,
because we actually went to Utah. We did a drive,
we did a road trip and it was so much fun getting to make
videos about the camera. And there it is.
- I brought it. - This is on the list?
- It's on the list. I'll get to it when I'm ready.
- Okay. - Okay.
So my number four is actually the Tempo.
- Oh my God, I love the Tempo.
- I consider that tech.
- No, that's a hundred percent tech.
- Okay.
- The Tempo Studio. I also have one as well.
And it's amazing. I did a whole video on it.
If you want to check it out the whole review and it is kind
of like an all-in-one fitness studio.
So it has this, not really cameras, like a sensor.
So it's able to tell if you're doing the reps properly
and if you're actually like, if your knees
are over your toes when you're doing squats
or something like that, it'll give you adjustments.
- And it's just nice because it's a mirror,
but it's also like, obviously has the cameras,
but you can put the weights away and like in the back of it
and it has the programs and like, that's what I need,
because I haven't, I mean,
we haven't been going to a gym in basically eight months.
- No. - So I am a big fan.
And I think that that is,
it's just been a really a game changer.
- So great. - Especially considering
all the times. So Tempo, number four.
- And like you said, you don't have a lot of room,
like it fits like right in the corner of your house
And it doesn't, it's not really like intrusive either.
- No people are like, what is that?
That's cool. Is that a giant iPad?
And I'm like, no, it has weights.
I'm like, Oh my gosh.
- So cool. - So it's just,
it's really cool because you know,
like a lot of the things they have now that are just
the mirrors. Like, if you want weights,
you have to store them somewhere else.
So it's like,
- Perfect. - You can hide it.
- You don't have to mount anything.
- I know.
I like it. Number, number four on the list.
Okay. Justine, what do you have on your number three?
- Those are all things. - That's not a number three.
- On my list.
So you kind of just told me two seconds ago.
So I was just scrambling to like find things that I liked
A Lego Mario. I always say it wrong.
Lego Mario,
Super Mario.
I'm doing a really bad job.
- Well, there's a lot of words.
And it's like, - You know, it's like,
if it's a whole phrase.
- It's the hottest collab of 2020.
- It's a Super Mario Lego.
Super Lego Mario. (laughs)
They came out with this really fun collab.
It's basically the dream collaboration come true.
It also did a video about this.
So you basically get the starter pack. You get Mario,
you get to start and the end goal.
And then there's expansion packs that you can like build out
the craziest levels everywhere.
- I mean, we did, - We did.
We filled my entire living room as like a Mar
It took all day.
- Dude my back hurt for weeks.
- Yeah. - And my knees, like
everything hurt. - Oh, it was so fun.
- It was really cool.
And I think that this is definitely like very innovative
and cool. And I mean, it kept us occupied for a couple days.
- Many, many years. - And now, now this.
I just see this, you move this around your house.
- It's a my set all the time. - I use different outfits too.
- So speaking of, kind of gaming-ish,
my number three, is my Xbox series X.
- That's fitting.
- But also I like the PlayStation too.
- Me too. - I'm going to just do a group
because honestly all the next-gen consoles.
And I really think,
I actually almost said that the series S
was my number three, because I just think that like,
I like what they did You know, you have the 120.
They made it affordable.
It's so small.
Like if we ever traveled again,
like I would have no problem throwing the S in my backpack
- Yeah. - Because it's just,
it's great. And I just love,
I love the weight controller.
- I love the PlayStation controller so much.
- Oh yeah, the PlayStation controller.
- I can get over seven, playing Sackboy.
- Me too. - Like a lot.
And it's just those different types of mechanics
that you can do. Like when you...
Have you got to the grappling hook yet?
- Yes. - Wait.
- Yes. - So Where you like, (shoots)
- Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
- So there's a whole engine that you can feel,
so you might not have got there.
It's, it's pretty far - Well, I didn't.
I was doing the rock climbing, - Yeah (indistinct)
So the, the grappling hook,
there's like a tension that you can feel,
- Oh, okay. - So it like stops you,
like you have to actually pull.
So there's like a whole other world of development that,
that can go into creating like different speecher sets
for the controller.
I love the controller - But it was cool too
with, like the rock climbing because you had to like,
actually move the control,
like you're rock climbing and like, this is so cool.
- It's great. - So, yeah, that's why
I'm like, I don't want to just pick one.
I think that this is just an umbrella of next-gen consoles,
because I can not wait for a new Nintendo switch.
(both sigh) I bet probably next year,
- Number two of top five tech of 2020.
Oh. My number one,
we're actually recording on it right now.
The PRO Castor. It's basically what we do.
- We're on number two. - What?
- We're on number two. - It doesn't matter.
They're all equal.
The PRO Castor is actually on the floor right now.
I don't wan to move it because it might unhook something.
But we've also made videos about that.
You can see it in every single of our podcasts.
Speaking of podcasts, - Oh man, I should.
I should have with it on the list,
because it really is the reason of like,
why we have the podcast.
- Which is our logo.
And I ended up buying another PRO Castor
for my gaming setup. So great.
Wouldn't that be? Oh gosh, the duo
won't they be cool if they had a menu one.
- Wow. Because I don't really have
a lot of desk space.
So like, if they have that, like a compact version of that,
that'd be pretty cool. - Because I feel like
I really would only need a mini for,
- Yeah. - for my,
- Maybe they're working on it.
- Maybe they are so not call us. We'll help you develop.
Yeah, we have, I mean, you don't need us cause it's like,
you already did it, but later think about it, mini.
So my number two item is the,
- What is it Jen? - M1 MacBook Pro.
- Yeah. I was like, wait, it's not the MacBook Pro.
- It's the MacBook pro.
This has been a game changer because I do all of my stuff
on the MacBook pro.
And the new M1 chip has been very silent.
I've never heard the fan yet.
And I'm doing stuff all the time.
It doesn't burn my lap.
The battery is incredible.
I could, I would like to have two more ports, but it's okay.
It's okay. Maybe in the future.
Apple really claim they, they made some high claims.
- They really did.
And I'm like, that's bold, but now I'm like, I get it.
This is, this is incredible.
And I feel like the price is pretty reasonable considering.
- Yeah. I mean, it's again, the base models
of what's to come.
So like the future of this,
of what Apple is doing with these chips,
It's gonna be amazing.
- I love it.
I got a little 16 inch. Yeah.
Oh my gosh. We're going to be cool.
It's just, this has, I mean, I,
I can't say enough good things about it. It's silent.
I didn't realize how much the fan annoyed me.
- It's very loud. - I've run into the microphone
- Will you? Why don't you? - Very, very loud.
- I forget what my other one was.
That I have another one?
- Did you not have an M1 on your list?
This is the last one. - Oh my God.
If I had to pick a number one, this is it.
Wait, let me, let me think. If I can guess it.
Is it big or small?
- Small.
If you don't guess this, I'm gonna be very upset with you.
- Is it the iPhone?
- No. - The watch?
- No.
- My herb garden.
- Oh God.
(both laugh)
- I know, I know.
- No
No, you're gonna get hurt.
- This is not a soft stool. - It's not a soft stool.
- It has injured me in places that...
- I just came back from the bathroom.
I did a project with Best Buy. And obviously,
I don't know if you guys know, but I'm a huge Best Buy fan.
Like I'm obsessed. I've been obsessed with best buy
for like, so, - Did you see my story today?
I was shopping on Best Buy and I searched for Best Buy.
- Oh my God. (laughs) - I go, no, that's not right.
- Anyway, in the project,
I got to pick a bunch of items that were kind of like
on the holiday wishlist
and there was an herb garden and I was like,
Oh my goodness. And never in my life,
what I've ever thought that I would have enjoyed
growing herbs. I have fresh herbs every day.
- I mean, - I put dill in my salad.
- Dill in your salad? - Yeah, Dill in my salad,
- Every time I come over, I like,
look at I'm like, this is lovely
- Very big. And my, the,
the basil has gotten quite out of control.
I have to, I have to trim it every single day. Now.
Like I'm,
I'm having a really healthy harvest everyday.
- I will do a little. Here's what,
here's what it looks like.
It looks great. - I'm yeah.
I mean, we started from nothing.
We started from the bottom now we're here
- And now you're here with fresh.
- My mint and time have really taken their sweet time.
They're growing. They're not on the same level,
but that basil's out of control.
- The basil's, yeah. It's, it's beautiful.
I mean, you may be like an omelet and it was like,
this is incredible. This is fresh from the kitchen garden.
- So... - Number one, tech.
Okay. - Yeah.
- Wow. - 2020.
I grow herbs now.
- So my number one is the Sony Sony a7 III.
Because look like I said,
I shoot a lot of stuff myself and this flip out screen,
it's just, - And the focus.
- The focus and the fact that there's
basically no limit recording.
I had this plugged into USBC and I've said this
in our podcast,
but basically I was filming for five hours while also using
this as my webcam. And it never once was like, no,
we can't do this. It's like, yeah.
Let's go. Like challenge accepted.
And you wouldn't be able to do that previously
because it would be like not too hot, too hot.
So this has been a game changer.
This is definitely a pricey camera, but for us and you know,
our little production and this is our lives,
like this has been worth every single penny. And I am so,
so happy that this is finally here.
Sorry, I'm ordering food. - Oh my God, I'm so hungry.
That's okay.
So those were our top five favorite tech items of 2020.
I could probably make a top 50 list.
Make sure you guys check out Justine's channel.

that came out of 2020 was
