That grape flying out at Mach 2 was incredible.
Looks like he didn’t notice or care.
@@robertheinkel6225 i was going to say there was a grape on the counter next to the sink after the camera cut, but it casually rolled back there on it's own.
I like how there was no response from him
The sound was hilarious.
I had guessed that something was going to fly out and when I heard the ping of that one grape hitting the sink, I laughed so hard I almost broke a rib 😅😂
Missed opportunity on the slo-mo replay of the grape jumping out of the spina. And we don’t mind sweet little Elle one bit.😍
I love the silicon shoe laces. I don’t even wear my new shoes until I put the silicon shoe laces on them. One thing I noticed, I put them on from smaller to bigger order so the biggest of the ones I use are at the top of the shoe. Makes the shoes a true slip on, no need to use your hands at all.
Yeah, he put them on backward lol
"Doesn't make any 'crazy claims'."
I'd buy their product just because of their honesty!
So would you like this comment so long as I don't claim that it won't make you laugh, provide additional information, or brighten your day?
I was so glad to see Bailey! She hasn't been in your last few videos and I was afraid that something happened to her! (And Elle is adorable!)
Yeah, I was thinking that too.
Yep I didn't want to ask about her
If you follow him on Instagram or Snapchat, he sometimes posts little clips and Bailey is in there
never assume
James's unsolicited mail is childhood dreams... Meanwhile, mine is like, "what's in your wallet?"
James being careful not to wake up Elle was so cute! 😍
Cord organizer would be my favorite.
The cozy cup pillow would be great for movie 🍿 night on the bed 🤙
I have what was marketed as a salad spinner. It’s similar to the one here, but the colander bowl fits inside of a solid bowl, plus it has a lid. When you spin it, it doesn’t sling liquid everywhere.
The Spina is a great idea! Makes me want to get rid of my spinner with all its different pieces (bowl, outer bowl, lid, handle) and you end up having to clean/dry all of those after you use it. Ugh, really wish I could trade it in for a Spina.
yeah the traditional ones are too big and hard to clean
The Spinna reminds me of one of those "popcorn popper" baby toys. I think it worked the same- you pump it and it spins some balls inside of the plastic container. Honestly tempted to get this for my nephew lol. Can use it as a toddler toy, then if it survives 'til when he's older, maybe he can cook with it.
When I was a kid I had a UFO toy that worked like this. Didn'tt have anything inside, tho.
@@naty51287ahh the memories... It was made out of tin and made sounds if you spin them fast enough
@@penedrador yes!
Yeah. The old School 'Spinning Top' which in reality is a Victorian Kids Toy Hundreds of years old. Which obviously the Spinna simply copied, but rather badly as it has no top to stop the food being thrown outwards if slightly over filled. Basically all of the items shown were complete and utter waste of Time and Money. I really don't get it why they even bother making products continually worse at the same time taking people's money.
@@theboywithathorninhisside.4179 last item was good right
I've had the laces for a few years now and they're awesome. They don't stretch or wear out. The shoes wore out before the laces
Thanks for sharing
That Squidward's painting at the start always steal my attention lmao
Bold and Brash
I think it's the same one that a guy was selling on his Amazon reseller TH-cam channel! I know I recognize it. "Hairy Tornado" is the name he goes by and I think he found that Squidward painting in a thrift shop.
The cup holder should have a weighted slip resistant bottom. I would attach a silicone base to it.
I have to say, your house always looks really nice every episode
The Spina looks cool, however I have some quibbles. Like you said it obviously sprays everywhere, but my main gripe is that you need a separate bowl to wash the greens in because simply spraying then isn't going to cut it. They need to soak.
on the car test for the pillow, it looks like that strap on the front could be used if you turn it around, and put the seat belt through it. not sure, but it looks to me like that might hold it if you have to hit the breaks. the veggie spinner is a good design. I have seem much more complicated versions that were more trouble than they are worth. I like the simple to use design of this one better.
I always love how organized and thorough you are!
Been using the silicone shoelaces ( different type tho)for years on my trainers. Don't have to worry about the laces untying during a training session and tripping over it. The shoes are relly easy to slip on and off and feel really tight on the leg.
I have the same type of laces. They don't work properly if you have wide or tall feet. They either pop out or are to tight and hurt or make your feet numb. I have tried several brands with the same results. They, however, work wonderfully on kid's shoes when they don't know how to do their laces.
Thank you. I was wondering about that. I have 1 foot that swells sometimes, so I would not think it would be good choice for me.
I see that cup cozy flying on the floor in your car when the brakes are slammed on.
I got those shoe laces for my elderly mom. I had a very hard time getting them "laced", but once they were in they worked very well. Now I have them in my shoes as well.
that lonely grape at the edge of the sink 😭😂
Many years ago they sold a salad spinner that was similar to the Spina. I think the Cozy Cup Pillow would be better if the bottom was made like a bean bag. It would conform to whatever it was sitting on. I like the shoelaces and the cord organizer.
I use the silicone shoe laces. It definitely depends on the quality. I bought amazing ones from Walmart, and good ones on Amazon. Wish ones were ok but not amazing.
I got the laces from Walmart and they broke after about 3 weeks to a month.
That's what you get for buying anything on Wish lol
@@hectorg5809 funny enough my most favorite pair of sneakers came from wish. I plan on ordering them again!
Great as always. My favorite show on TH-cam.
I have a question about spina can you also use it as a strainer for hot pasta ?
Plastic + heat = possible toxins, I wouldn't recommend it
Spina is made from Nylon and Nylon has a low melting temp, something like 400deg, I wouldn't recommend it. Just like I wouldn't put hot foods in any other salad spinner. Good question though!
If you do a follow up with the Spina, please test with a full box (16oz) of spaghetti.
That Spina looks like just the thing for washing leeks since they’re supposed to be cut first and then washed to get out any sand. And I do like cooking with them.
I was just thinking...a new series you could do is a blind grab of items. Put a crapload of items in a box, bag, whatever, & choose them without looking. Might help to remove some of that excess stock you have. Just a thought 🙂
He used to have a spinning wheel app with all the things on them.
So weird as I'm watching this, I was showing my wife one of the items and she says, hey he just posted 4 minutes ago on Facebook, and showed me the post 😂
Favorite collection of mail so far. My partner even heard some, and is asking for the shoe laces. :)
The organiser thing (Cup holder pillow) on the bed will help keep the mrs on her side of the bed 😆🤣😂
I know I'm replying a couple years after you made this review video, but I'm glad I saw it cos watching it gave me a solution to an everyday problem. You see I'm a massive stroke survivor with right side weakness, and struggle tying my shoes now. With those silicone no tie laces I won't need to struggle putting my shoes on now. I'll just need to struggle once putting them in, and that's far better then every single day. Thanks!! ☺️
I've used the shoe laces forever, diff brand but still. Love them.
Congrats on getting Eichel buddy! I know you’re a huge Vegas fan, I’m sure you’re happy
You best put a seat belt on that cup cozy....one good braking and it's headed RIGHT for the floorboard.
I have a Mini Cooper with the most useless cupholders ever installed in a motor vehicle. That cozee thing might be exactly what I need instead of always trying to drive, shift and manage my coffee thermos since there is NOWHERE to put it. I would have concerns about it allowing tall cups to tip on corners though.
Last 2 pair of shoes I have bought are actually kind of the same idea as those laces. They are skechers and look like they have laces, but just slip on. I loved not dealing with shoe laces so much I bought the same pair again when I got new shoes recently lol. These are actually nice cause it opens you up to other brands and styles. Missed if you said if they come in other colors, but I'm sure they would 👍
I got a pair of those Sketchers that you are talking about at Costco a few months ago and I love them.
So easy not dealing with the laces.
@@galaxywanderer yeah, really nice shoes! I will say the second pair I went a half size down because over time my normal size did loosen a slight bit, but I keep shoes a while and it was quite a long time. And this isn't a knock on your spelling, cause I did it too until recently, but did you know there is no "T" in Skechers? Look it up. It seems so wrong lol. So now I have to catch myself when I write it that way. Like I said, I still do it too, and I'm not one of those grammar police people, but thought it was really interesting so I wanted to share with a fellow Skechers fan 😜👍
@@bradasstv
Ah ha!!
I was just checking and it looks like my Autocorrect spelled it that way when I was replying to your comment.
Well they are definitely nice comfortable shoes.
A good purchase that I don't regret making.
@@galaxywanderer 😜👍
The Sketchers seem so be nonslip as well. I use them at work.
Rouge grape! And it stayed in the shots afterwards just hitting them video bombs baby!
You should try out lace ankers I think they have some advantages compared to silicone laces, like choice of color, not visible, adjustable if u need tighter or loose shoes, etc
I like the different sizes on the shoe ties and for narrow shoes the smaller work great!
Lol getting random junk in the mail sounds cool til you realize they want you to review it. That's where it would go from fun to a chore to me haha..
Usually those are just companies that send them in hopes they get reviewed but there is no obligation. It’s only those that reach out that pay for you to actually review them that can become a chore. Sending stuff in the mail is best for smaller channels that are trying to grow. Because they have to spend their own money to make a video that has no sponsor, so it’s better when you get something for free as a small channel for content. As your channel gets bigger you have the luxury to pick and choose what you review and get to put a price on how much you charge to make the video.
I've used similar laces for a while now and like them. I also use similar cord organizers, except they are mostly single-loop stick-on units instead.
That Spina thing is definitely WAY better than that dumb towel thing you had to swing over your head.
My mom has mobility issues because of back issues and a failed back surgery and loves the no tie shoelaces it makes it much better for her to get her shoes on. She has them in most of her shoes, the only downside is on her shoes that don't have the holes and have the loops instead. She hasn't found some that work for those shoes and keep them snug enough on her feet.
The SPINA would be a great thing to use for removing the water from delicate clothing like lingerie / bra's and lace panties , thongs or a baseball cap all of which can't be put into a clothes dryer. The spina would force all the access water out without damaging the fabric.
Normally I just use my salad spinner for those things so the Spina is just a salad spinner without the extra bowl to catch the water.
I put all of the above in my washer in a net bag😂😂
@@dawnbarber5307 I lay 'em out on a dry towel
I put Baseball Caps in the dishwasher. Learned that trick when I was 9...softball made for some nasty hats. Obviously, run it with only baseball hats in it...top rack only. Regular liquid detergent for your dishwasher, don't use these dishwasher pods with additional things in them. Been using this method for a few decades now.
All other delicate things I put in a soft clothes bag and wash in the washer with like clothing and hang dry.
🤔🤔🤔 Wondering how my salad spinner would feel if I put non-food items in it.
@@TheMrKristens my salad spinner has no hard feelings 😂 as long as a clean the detergent out well afterwards
You've convinced me to buy the no tie shoes because I hate having to untie my shoes just to put them on. I hope they would put for me
I love the shoelaces idea! They are exactly what I've been needing and I am pretty sure I'll be ordering a few pairs. Great video, as usual. 👍😁
I use the no-tie shoelaces and love them. The only drawback is that they only work in the “traditional” lace holes and not the cloth loop kind of holes that a lot of athletic shoes have today.
A new video I get to watch while I go golfing today what a great day for a Saturday golf an a new video. Love the channel keep up the great work
Miss the at-home reviews. However, I applaud you for trying something new and will gladly watch regardless!
I thoroughly enjoyed the surprise escalator clip, oddly satisfying! 💜
LMAO!!! Loved when the food shot out!! I laughed so hard!!
U did the laces backwards… smaller ones toward the toe, bigger ones gradually up to the ankle.
Great video as always. Please post the info for the USB hub. The one I have is only 4 ports.
The Spinna is basically a strainer combined with a kids toy
Awesome! Love the mail time videos 😁👍
When you were trying out the Cup Cozy Pillow, I noticed your Marvel mug. I have the same one. Also I would definitely use the No-Tie laces.
6:17 lmao I had a good chuckle
I really appreciate your reviews.
Who could NOT like this video?
I got some of those shoe lace things a couple years back. No instructions included and the packaging showed them with the shortest in the front towards the toe going to the longest back towards the ankle. I thought they were too tight in the front and set them aside because I couldn’t return them. It wasn’t until I saw this video that it dawned on me to start with the longest one by the toes and go toward the back to the shortest one. This has definitely been one of those 🤦🏻♂️ “why didn’t I think of that?!?” moments.
Spina was definitely an invention in F is for Family. lol
At 2:47 lol a grape went for a flying lesson lol
Bring that many drinks to bed and you’ll getting up to pee 10 times in the middle of the night
I think I'd be saying Weeeeeeeee when using that salad spinner
Finally arrived after almost a month. Not easy to put on. I had to use pliers to get them on. Be careful not to pull too hard. I broke off one of the ears on a couple, but still feel like that will stay on. If they don't loose tension over time seem to work. Since they did finally show up I might order more.
My prediction is that you are going to be making good use of the Spina. You seemed to be having lots of fun with it, like a kid with a top.
Good vid, but i rarely tie or untie my regular laces anyway.
I checked out your overstock store. I had to laugh at how many light bulbs and lights companies sent you.
Spina: seems to work but i worry about the durability of the spinning mechanism. Cup Cozy pillow : looks good to me , i may buy one.
That Spina works exactly like a too I had when I was very young (I’m now 74!). It stuck to the floor and the top handle was pulled up and down - just like the Spina - and as you pulled up and down the,top,spun faster and faster and stayed spinning for some time after pumping the handle. Not a new idea - just used in a new way. But to me a salad spinner is less messy as the water is spun into an exterior container instead of in the sink. But I love your videos.
Not sure the Cup Cozy Pillow would hold up to hard braking in the car.
I was thinking that too. Or even a moderately sharp turn.
Maybe something to feed the middle seat seatbelt through would help there.
Especially with leather seats.
I actually bought some of those silicone shoe laces, they’ve been on my high tops for years and have not failed, and I wear those shoes regularly. I generally hate the process of taking hightops on and off and they turned them into slip-on shoes. Made them one of my least favourite into one of my most favourite pair of shoes just by changing the laces
UGH, for the shoes, if you're sick of real laces, just get velcro.
They look like crap, but they do somewhat look like real laces. 😀
Sorry...pet peeve: sili-con is what computer chips are made of. sili-cone is the rubber/caulk.
Ooohh! Like the silicone shoe laces!
The spinna looks promising. Centrifugal force is amazing at removing water. Just ask your washing machine and dryer. Plus, it reminds me of a miniature version of the giant spinners used for salads in restaurants.
Pretty good Knights' seats! 👍
Wow your new apartment is amazing! Congratulations
I like your humor during the demonstrations. Great video.
Thank you! It's almost impossible to be serious with some of the strange items I test!
i prefer the elastic shoelaces as opposed to the silicone ones. but i'm just afraid the silicone ones will snap
I feel stupid af, but I always thought a salad spinner was used to mix up a salad... today I learned the true use of one...
Woah, dope K-Tel shirt!!
Why do you look so cool no matter what you do? Love it
Okay so I think what a great xmas idea I’ll get the usb charging stick n the multi cord holder, but to buy in canada the two items comes to $218 bucks plus tax yet. 😳 😲 😬, nuts!….I’ll keep looking for other ideas. Cheers 🍻
Upload right on time ! Just was binge watching 👌
I'd be interested in the no tie laces and the Spina
I don't know why buy I loved when the broccoli went flying
For the shoes the longest ones go at the top but your ankle you put them in reverse order
Its fun when you have that elusive 3rd hole in the vehicle but I wldnt reccomend filling any of them while operating it lol
Yeah I always need 4 glasses of drink when I'm in bed LoL 😂
Man this thing was impressive that it could hold that much without stuff flying out
The first one reminds me of the Salid tosser from f is for family lol
Those no tie shoe laces, I am disabled and I bought them three years ago from Wish for a dollar, they are in my puma training shoes and are still working fine. I have two sets in two different pairs and never slipped off or broke.
Love the video and early access through the newsletter is quite awesome
Early access 🤘🏻
"IT'S SPAYING PAST THE SINK "🤣 THATS'S WHAT SHE SAID DOING THE SAME HAND JESTURE3S
James, I believe you have the silicone laces in the wrong order. The smaller, shorter ones go on the bottom and the longer, larger ones go on top.
I actually think it depends on the individuals foot shape.
I was just going off what the pictures on their website showed. Also shoes have a "V" shape for the lace eyelets.
