''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
"And in the news today: UFO experts claim that mysterious whistling noises coming from the mountains came from The Beyond."
👽👽👽🤣🤣🤣
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.
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!
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)
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.
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?
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?
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 UA-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.
"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. ☺️
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!
"It pretty much stays in place."
That's because you have the ability to sit still ;)
The screen holder sounds like a great idea for people in wheelchairs or bed bound!
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.
"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.
Now if I can strap that on my cat while she's sleeping I'll have prime viewing for many hours. 😺
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 ... ♥️
“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
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.
I bought the HyperWhistle several months ago. I use it for my neighbors barking dogs,it works well.
Oh wow that leg phone holder thing would be great for me!! Perfect for watching UA-cam while I sit on the couch and crochet!!
Car Organizer + Simply Hold = amazing. I can't fault it for not easily holding fries. Fries are a weird shape.
How many Aussies and Brits are loving hearing him say toadfish and thinking something totally different, long live Toadie!
Simply Hold wouldn't work for me. I never stay in one position too long and I never sit up straight like you were. 😂
The Freakin Reviews, who were they before they got famous! 10:45
We need more backstories!!
"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
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 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
This is easily becoming one of my favorite channels right now
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.
I bought the Toadfish Cooler for a float trip and it worked perfectly on top of my cooler! 10/10, would recommend.
6:25 - That beverage holder got Corona!
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
Such a cool video and useful, too! The dogs are so sweet as well. Another great video, thank you!
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.
Best review yet ! I was sold on everything 👍
Simply Hold is probably a great option for when flying... perfect if you don't want to touch the tray table...
You just know this guy is a great dad
More videos like this please. I like multiples.
Wow the things you did was awesome. Everything worked. Love the whistle. Thank you for the great reviews.
Bailey's tail has spilt so many things cos Bailey's tail is ALWAYS wagging!A happy doggo...we love Bailey!
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.
:57 "Because you always have your leg with you".....
I beg to differ.
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 😅
Great review, James! Glad to see you and Bailey back!
You are more honest about these reviews than most of Amazon.
That phone holder, might be handy while baitin.
😂😂👍🏽
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 :)
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
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.
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.
And here I thought I was kidding when I told myself "that's a rape whistle!"
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. 🤣
Not sure how I ended up on basic unbox therapy, but nice work bud keep it up! :)
10:30 freakin cool backstory! Always a performer
This man seems like the nicest man in the world
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
I wish you had compared the hyperwhistle with other safety whistles or even just a regular whistle, to see how far away that could be heard across the desert too. It's $40 here in Canada, about three times more than a regular safety whistle, so I'd want to know it was better.
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.
You mentioned Orange County. I grew up in Huntington Beach and raised my kids in Lake Forest and Mission Viejo
Well now I wanna try hot mustard sauce with nugs 😂
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
lol that dog was either hot or freaking out that you were talking to yourself. haha love your videos.
You're a bass player! I've been playing bass for more than 50 years. Short scales are the most fun!!
What? No donuts in the parking lot with the koozie? Not a true test! 😆
This was a great video! Very fun and informative!
love these freakin reviews
Love, love, love Bailey and her tail! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
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.
Greetings from Trinidad in the Caribbean! 🔥 We love u here! 🔥
Somebody pat that sweet old dog....that wagging tail and smiling face got to me.
Used to have similar trays when kids were small, going back about25 yrs, they were great !
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.
Bailey is so chill and I have something similar to that but mine screws to a desk or table a little wobbly but the neck is strong
I totally agree on the hot mustard sauce on nuggets, it’s the only way to go.
I'm a Blackhawks fan but I love the Golden Knights too! love seeing your fan support.
also YAY BAILEY IN A VIDEO 😊😍🐶
I really enjoy your videos. Thanks!
"You always have your leg with you." Double amputees: "I'm about to end this mans whole career"
I could imagine the leg phone stand would be pretty convenient for people in wheel chairs on the go.
Stop by to see Bailey😉 Love your channel....always look forward to what's new in the world of gadgets and your reviews on them. Always interesting and fun. Thanks so much James
*somewhere in a freaky shop
"Get me that drink cozy"
I must be starving, that McDonalds food is looking good. 😁
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
I already know someone I am going to gift the simply hold too. A stroke survivor that utilizes a motorized wheelchair for work. She has right side paralysis, so only her left hand is free. I think this would be useful when she’s traveling, via the airport, and waiting at the doctors office etc.
BTW, I bought the telescoping stool/seat that you reviewed awhile back, as an extra Christmas gift for my husband. He requires forearm crutches, and from time to time we have wished he had a way to sit down. Waiting in line, walking a long distance, etc. it’s very sturdy and he can’t wait to use it.
The only thing on this video I think will fail, especially in Arizona, is the backseat organizer. The plastic looks pretty flimsy. I live in Texas, bought one of those cell phone clips that attach to the dash, and can flip, swivel etc. yeah. Warped the first day I left it in the car while I was at work. Just curled and morphed into a useless piece of garbage. Let us know if you leave that thing in your car.
Thanks for the review on the back seat organizer. Wife and I have a 12 and 14 year old and at times we get fast foods while on the way to where ever. Bought it and will let them put it to the test, and they can use the shop vac if it does not perform .
I love how you say portrait and landscape as the phone is in the opposite of each lol. Seems like a good idea!
You should do more 5-10 item comparisons with everyday items like pizza cutters, ice cube trays (which you have done): coffee makers, different pots, pans, cutlery, can openers, different cooking utensils etc etc ...
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!
Great items, I like the idea of the leg phone holder.
I wish the part with the whistle being blown was from the mile distance pov.
Jesus christ that whistle!!!
made my heart jump out when i thought it cant be that loud....my volume was at half....
How do i get those gold colored sunglasses with the ornate sides you wore in the backseat mcdonalds tray review? - a subscriber. Great stuff
Wow, I legit did NOT think that car tray would work, but holy crap knowing how many friends of mine have drinks/food and stuff in the back of my little 2 door car, I might just give it a shot, because there is nothing back there for them! Awesome review as always! That whistle as well seems like it'd be great for people truly camping/hiking, etc, in the woods.
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
Those are some groovy porthole gogginode!
What a pro-looking new set!
