''You always have your leg with you.''
*groans in pirate*
Haha so true.
Aaarrrrggghh
you could screw or weld it on with an argh welder (i'll see myself out)
Yeah, but if you have a peg leg, you can just screw it into the wood :D
At least if you have a peg leg, you won't tap your foot.
That phone holder would be perfect for when I’m out in my wheelchair
I was thinking the same, good if using maps for directions. Only problem is if it rains...
@@reachandler3655 umbrella holder for the other leg 🤔
@@LILCarson17 know any good engineers?
@@reachandler3655 I'm on it
"settle in before you strap it on" words to live by.
Lot of strap-ons reviewed today xD
😁
69 likes. I won’t add another.
What no lube
I designed the Hyperwhistle. Happy to see it get tested!
Im getting a hyperwhistle today watched some reviews It seems amazing.
You are a genius.
I just got one. The other day I was watching a video and as soon as I saw it, I paused the video, went to Amazon and bought it and then came back to the video. And that is one of the very rare times that I have ever bought anything without seeing the full review. And it was on special. Also I started to watch a few videos that show how to actually blow a whistle.
"And in the news today: UFO experts claim that mysterious whistling noises coming from the mountains came from The Beyond."
👽👽👽🤣🤣🤣
that leg mount for the phone would be amazing if it has a solid "quick connect" for the goose neck to the leg band so you could pop it off (leaving the band on your leg)
So who's here to watch Bailey be the cutest? Her tail wags more/less depending on dad's tone! Awww doggy love ♥️
I loved the supportive tail wave in the background as he was talking!🤣 dogs are the best!
Everyone is making leg jokes and then there's me that wants to know why his band mate when to jail.
Probably drugs.. Alot of band members in the 80s did drugs
@Junior Sanchez or criminally bad music.
@@tetsuo964 🤣🤣🤣
How do you when to jail?
Always happy to see Bailey in a video!
And Elle!! ❤️
The high point of my day
@Chris P Bacon and propane accessories
She's kind of amazing.
Damnt bobby get the wheelbarrow.
"I bought this on Amazon for 24 books."
Me: "So they've finally come full circle."
I half dot com see what you did there....
Love your dry humor. ☺️
Hey James, how about Brandon driving you around, while you’re in the back testing the seat organizers motion factor to see how it handles in action?
Andrew Roberson great idea! I was going to ask the same thing, how does the car seat organizer hold up when moving around? It seems like those fries may go sliding right off there.
I really hope James comments on this one!
North American TH-camr I’m genuinely asking out of curiosity, is it a common occurrence for you to sit in the back of a parked car to eat a meal? I find it hard to believe anyone would choose to sit in the back of a hot and stuffy (in the summer) or freezing cold (in the winter) parked car to eat and potentially fill there car with crumbs when they could go home, dine in the restaurant or sit outside at any number of public locations.
@@andrews2296 I know you weren't asking me but I eat in my car. The front seat mind you but I don't always want to eat in the break room of my job or I might quickly go grab something in a drive thru and stay in my car to eat. It's a waste of time to go back inside and eat in the break room when my lunches are 35 minutes. I can also play my phone through my bluetooth and lean back my chair instead of sitting upright the entire time. Also with covid it's safer to stay in your car anyway.
Car in motion while eating is like you're walking while eating. I was surprised there was no warnings about that.
That car organizer looks legit for roadtrips
J.D's Outpost yea but how well does it hold the food when the car is in motion is the question!
@@andrews2296 ooh touche!
Now if I can strap that on my cat while she's sleeping I'll have prime viewing for many hours. 😺
"It pretty much stays in place."
That's because you have the ability to sit still ;)
"Because you always have your legs with you"
*Army veterans:* Let me tell you a thing
Lieutenant Dan??
rawr98 Dont care who ya are,......that’s funny.
Strap it on the stumps
Most still have a stump to strap it to
Joey Jones enters the chat.
The screen holder sounds like a great idea for people in wheelchairs or bed bound!
“But I digress” words you can always count on James to say. You gotta get some shirts made up with your catch phrase on em lol
Aww your dog really loves you, the look in their eyes... And the please stroke me tail says it all.... Oh the products .... Yeah but the dog ... ♥️
Now SEE...that's why I like this guy, he warned me of loud audio, I already knew what he was doing but it didn't dawn on me to turn my system down until he put it in my face. The simply hold looks decent (assuming you have a leg, some don't) but we need to know how versatile the adjustments are, legs come in varying sizes.
On the “No tip over cup holder”, why would you want to hold your open drink on a vertical surface? That’d make drink lay in horizontal position. Isn’t it the purpose of the holder is to prevent your drink from tilting or falling horizontally?
Simply Hold wouldn't work for me. I never stay in one position too long and I never sit up straight like you were. 😂
How many Aussies and Brits are loving hearing him say toadfish and thinking something totally different, long live Toadie!
I've watched a ton of your videos. I love that you don't talk for 5 minutes before you get to the point! Keep it up. Great job!
10:35 You have no idea how much I enjoy storytime with my favorite youtubers. Granted I only found you like a week ago, I've been binging hard on your videos lol.
The Freakin Reviews, who were they before they got famous! 10:45
We need more backstories!!
I bought the HyperWhistle several months ago. I use it for my neighbors barking dogs,it works well.
Car Organizer + Simply Hold = amazing. I can't fault it for not easily holding fries. Fries are a weird shape.
"you always have your leg with you"
person who sent him that probably didnt have a leg to review it with
I think you lack credibility your argument doesn't have a leg to stand on 😄
Bruh lol
I like how you HOP into conclusions
Oh my goodness my husband is so famous for leaving a cup on top of the hood of my car, that is perfect for him!
put a yellow post it on the dash "did you bring your drink?" or have a "drink roof'd" change collector in your cupholder. Like a swear jar deposit a quarter in the cupholder everytime you drive off with the drink gone. Eventually you can break the habit, AND you have money to spend on a celebratory drink.
Mine too, his wallet, glasses, whatever is in his hands! 😂
sachyriel great idea!!!
sachyriel That would be great but it’s my husband that leaves it on my car all the time LOL he has a truck that’s way too tall to do it to
traczebabe see my husband‘s truck is too tall for him to do it is so I am the asshole that’s driving down the street with a glass of tea flying all over the place LOL
For the phone holder, if you tend to tap your foot or wiggle your leg, that's generally your dominant leg so just put it on the other leg.
"always have your leg with you"
double amputees been real quiet since you said that
I have both my legs so it'll still work
The whistle is pretty incredible. Heat makes sound travel shorter distances so on a cool night I bet you really could get 2 miles. Would love it if you tested it again when it’s colder (i heard the desert does get chilly?) and have Brandon walk until he can’t hear it. That would be a fun test
You just know this guy is a great dad
Using the hyper whistle for self-defence sounds cool, until you realize you probably won't have the time or convenience to put in earplugs in a lot of self-defence situations 😅
The whistle is definitely something that can be use and may even save your life if you're lost and have a search party looking for you for example
The whistle sounds like a great self defense device. Just one problem. You gotta ask your attacker to wait for you to put your ear protection on. 🤣
6:25 - That beverage holder got Corona!
"You always have your leg with you." Double amputees: "I'm about to end this mans whole career"
Oh wow that leg phone holder thing would be great for me!! Perfect for watching TH-cam while I sit on the couch and crochet!!
:57 "Because you always have your leg with you".....
I beg to differ.
You are more honest about these reviews than most of Amazon.
And here I thought I was kidding when I told myself "that's a rape whistle!"
I love that Bailey is on the couch without a fuss. I think it was a video late last year where it was mentioned that Bailey isn't usually allowed on the couch. Bailey's cuteness has won! She can't be resisted :)
I bought the Toadfish Cooler for a float trip and it worked perfectly on top of my cooler! 10/10, would recommend.
This is easily becoming one of my favorite channels right now
I ordered the Toadfish cooler - for those time when I’ve dropped a can and consequently the bottom of the can isn’t flat anymore and won’t sit up.
i love my red copper mug! in fact we found them at grocery outlet for 7.99 and got some for my sister and brother in law also! then my coworker saw it and got some for her whole family!
I have one too. Don’t use it much but after seeing this I’m gonna start using it more.
Bailey's tail has spilt so many things cos Bailey's tail is ALWAYS wagging!A happy doggo...we love Bailey!
That phone holder, might be handy while baitin.
😂😂👍🏽
The hyper whistle looks like it takes a lot of air to get a quick blast. Think I'd just stick with my good old fox 40 whistles.
Simply Hold is probably a great option for when flying... perfect if you don't want to touch the tray table...
I would have liked to hear the Hyper Whistle from Brandon's perspective. He is saying he hears it, but we don't get to hear how it sounds from a mile away.
I had a metal whistle like that in Girl Guides (Scouts). You just did short hard blasts, not a long blow. The sound carries very well
What? No donuts in the parking lot with the koozie? Not a true test! 😆
Love that '86 picture! In 86 I was 9, had a mullet with spikes up top and rocked a mean Iron Maiden t-shirt 🤘🤘🤘
Love Maiden.
My fav sauce from mc ds with nuggets and fries is the sweet n sour.
I just got the honey which I don't think they have anymore.
Buffalo is the best
Sweet n sour/sweet chili and Mayo is best dip for fries
Greetings from Trinidad in the Caribbean! 🔥 We love u here! 🔥
love these freakin reviews
You mentioned Orange County. I grew up in Huntington Beach and raised my kids in Lake Forest and Mission Viejo
Somebody pat that sweet old dog....that wagging tail and smiling face got to me.
More videos like this please. I like multiples.
10:30 freakin cool backstory! Always a performer
The desert is quiet. Emergencies don't always happen in optimum conditions. Try the whistle at the beach on a windy day. Or near a waterfall.
Well now I wanna try hot mustard sauce with nugs 😂
You're a bass player! I've been playing bass for more than 50 years. Short scales are the most fun!!
I could imagine the leg phone stand would be pretty convenient for people in wheel chairs on the go.
Best review yet ! I was sold on everything 👍
The amount of “jokes” about people without legs is astounding. The hive mind at work.
Because it’s funny to laugh at problems that aren’t your own
Christian it’s even funnier and more productive to laugh at problems that are yours.
@@xblowsmokex eh I guess its subjective
James is forcing his son to walk the desert to listen for a whistle.
Quarantine has finally gotten to Freakin' Reviews.
lol that dog was either hot or freaking out that you were talking to yourself. haha love your videos.
*somewhere in a freaky shop
"Get me that drink cozy"
Such a cool video and useful, too! The dogs are so sweet as well. Another great video, thank you!
Wish I could have heard the whistle from your son 's view
I would have liked to see a comparison with some other things like a referee's whistle, an air horn, etc
Judging by how Brandon was talking, it seems he could barely hear it. The mic probably didn't pick it up.
Great review, James! Glad to see you and Bailey back!
Not sure how I ended up on basic unbox therapy, but nice work bud keep it up! :)
I left my baby in the carseat on the roof of my car for a few miles before lol 😆 haha. This video brought back that funny memory!!
Wow the things you did was awesome. Everything worked. Love the whistle. Thank you for the great reviews.
I must be starving, that McDonalds food is looking good. 😁
10:08 "a medium drink"
that's a large drink in my country lmao
It's large for a drink here too, he's referring to McDonald's cup sizing. The medium is just big - we use ice cubes. They take up half the space.
The only thing with most non-tip cups/can koozies is that when you pull straight up, they can spill your drink everywhere which can almost defeat the purpose haha
if only Rose had this whistle, Jack may not have had to sacrifice himself for her....
How about the weather here today huh ( I live in Vegas too). I’m just wondering about that leg holder thing if you didn’t have jeans on, like if you were wearing shorts and it was bare leg how well it would hold?
Jesus christ that whistle!!!
made my heart jump out when i thought it cant be that loud....my volume was at half....
This man seems like the nicest man in the world
As for getting up to do do something (3:01) it seems like the attachment at the leg end of the goose-neck has a pretty quick attach and release mechanism. So if you don't mind answering the door with a strap around your leg then...there is no problem!
I love how you say portrait and landscape as the phone is in the opposite of each lol. Seems like a good idea!
24-bucks for a can cooler? I'll pass. I have lots of koozies and plenty of duck tape! LOL
Used to have similar trays when kids were small, going back about25 yrs, they were great !
Brandon has a freakishly strong resemblance to the Angry Video Game Nerd, James Rolfe.
Even the way he speaks.
My cat came running to investigate when the whistle was making noise
My dog didn't like it at all. Had to calm her down a bit.
"I'm not big on preliminaries"....TAKE MY LIKE!
Hot Mustard sauce is the unsung hero of the McDonald's menu.
I would think for the tray thing the phone slot would be perfect for fries. Hopefully in your followup you can say if that's a good fit or not.
would like to see the cup holder on a sports car going 100km/hour...or wait there is a speed limit? animals on the road might thank you for the happy drink : )
as a bushcrafter and emergency prepper every emergency kit and hiking kit should include a fairly loud whistle. if you are hurt, or trapped and try to call for help your voice will not carry as far as a whistle, and very quickly you will get a sore throat, and loose your voice while a whistle takes less air, less effort and can carry much further.
The phone holder is a great idea for people who play video games.
That leg phone stand thing would be great on a plane or a train anywhere that you're going to be sitting for a while.
I designated the whiskey. Glad to see it used!
It's not usually the goose neck I have issues with with those phone holder. It's the base connection they always snap and bend there
When the can holder fell off the pan sideways I dropped my phone
