GMM 1911: Are These Products Worth It? (Test)

Are these bathroom gadgets noteworthy or flush worthy? – Let’s talk about that. (upbeat music) Good mythical morning. – Ask me what I would enjoy most, sawing my arm off with a dull soup spoon, watching “Trolls World Tour” on a 24-hour loop, or cleaning my toilet? – Okay, ask you that? All right. Would you, would you rather spoon your arm off, go on a Troll world tour, warm tour, or clean your toilet? – It’s not really going on a tour, it’s just watching it, which I guess is sort of the same thing, but bottom line is I would be fine with spooning off my arm. – You, you hate cleaning toilets that bad? – I do. – I mean, I don’t mind cleaning the toilet, but I’m pretty excited about testing a robot that’s gonna do it for me. – That’s right, today we’re testing high-tech bathroom products that claim to make the old school ways of doing whatever you do in your bathroom, it’s your business, obsolete, but do they really? It’s time for new tool or old school, bathroom addition. – We’re gonna test a series of bathroom activity-related gadgets and compare them against the traditional, old timey way of getting that same thing done. And then we’re gonna decide if you should go with that new tool or if you should stay old school, do you understand? – I do. (old timey music) – Over the past year, we spent a whole lot of time with the people that we live with and it’s been great. – Oh yeah. – Really great, like constantly great. – Always. – But I imagine it’s been even better for those with inconvenient hair in hard-to-reach places because that’s what family’s for, y’all, shaving back hair. – Yeah, speaking of back hair, you didn’t think we just put these brown scrubs on for nothing, did ya? – We’ve got shirts with a heart shaped back hair in the hardest to reach place. – And look what I’ve got right here. This is the Mangroomer Pro Shave. It’s actually called the Mangroomer Pro Back Shaver. It’s not that complicated. – Unfurl that puppy. – Okay. This thing is designed– – Oh my gosh. – To, you know, get your, your deal going here. – And look what I got here. I just got a regular razor. – Now, this thing fully extends, depends on how big your back is, and it’s got a power button, of course. – Or how short your arms are. – And it’s got a power boost button. (buzzing) – This thing costs $50 on Amazon. – So I’m just gonna see it here. – Hold on, before you start, we’re gonna, we’re gonna compare it to this. – Oh yeah, right, you got to do that. – Don’t forget about me, but I can’t do this to myself. – You’re gonna have to get somebody to shave your back. – This is what a loved one is for. – That’s why I’m here. – Hi, Stevie. – The one that usually shaves your back. – I just called you a loved one. – Do you have any experience shaving men’s backs? – All the time. You know. – It’s like a side job in college or something. – So we, don’t answer that. We are the team old school. – We’re the hair boys. Is that what you were introducing us? – And you’re team new school. You have nothing to do with us. – But I’ve got hair. – Please use caution when you’re flinging that thing back here. – You don’t want me to like cut your hair? – No! – All right, Stevie, shave my back. – I’m going. – Lather it up, we’re falling behind. – Is this a speed situation? – [Rhett] How am I doing? – Oh great, it’s like sprinkling hairs onto my sweats. – It’s basically like clippers. – [Rhett] Totally working. – Okay, this is absolutely disgusting. – Power boost. – Just shave my back, Stevie. – [Stevie] Okay, ew, ugh. – If you needed another data point to confirm your lesbianism, I think this is probably it. – Here, lean, like straighten your back up a little bit. I do not feel as if this is going well, Link, I’m sorry to say. – It feels good to me actually. – Oh okay. (chuckles) – Now, you know, I don’t really have a hairy back, but there’s something about the bonding that takes place when you know. – [Stevie] Look at, okay. – Look what I did over here, Link. – So this is interesting. You didn’t get it down to a clean shave, but you got it to a buzzer shave. This is just disgusting. Like what is happening? – Well typically what you do when you have that much hair is you you take something like this and you get it down, and then you shave that. – Let me shave your shaved back. – So we’ve determined that it doesn’t help. – Now I have shaving cream on me. – ‘Cause now you got to go back. You’re saying you got to go and shave after the groomer? – No no, it depends on, you can only get so close with this thing. You know what I’m saying? Like, in fact, let me just demonstrate it on some hair on the front side here. – A lot of the reviews complain that it scratches the skin. So I do want to see if it looks like a cat has attacked you. – I have to go over a few times. I mean, I had to go over it a few times. – Does it hurt? – No, it doesn’t hurt at all. – I don’t like that patch of hair there anyway. – I can take care of that, let me go full boost. – Guys, I think my job here is done. I think if I stay here any longer, you’re gonna shave me. – Can I do it? – You should stick around for this. – And I do not want, I do not possess the same amount of hair on my arm. – It doesn’t leave a clean spot, it leaves a lot of stubble. I regret doing what I did. – Okay Stevie, thank you for your help. – Thank you. – You can take the razor with you. – Okay. – The stubble. – You can use it. So I don’t know, man. I think that, I think there’s something intimate about getting somebody to shave your back. – That’s what I’m saying, and it’s a much closer shave. – Why say no to that? – Well, why say no to that when you can say no to that? Which is what we’re gonna do. We’re saying stick with the old school. (old timey music) – Before we move on, we want to remind you to check out the Ear Biscuits channel, that’s our podcast. Listen, we’ve got a podcast that you can get where you get podcasts, but we also put it on YouTube at the Ear Biscuits channel, check it out. – We talk about our lives. – It gets personal. – Oh my goodness. – It gets deep. – All right, you want me to get personal and deep right now? – Yep. – All right, then I’m gonna talk to you about blackheads. – Okay, do it. – I got some blackheads on my nose. I’ve noticed you’ve had some on your nose occasionally. – Okay. – I actually try not to get that close to you. So I’m just joking, I haven’t noticed. I got this new tool here that is supposed to suck the blackheads right off of your face. – I’m glad that you’re doing that and I’m not, because I’m nervous about this. I’m gonna go old school with the Biore. I mean, I remember getting these like in college. – I remember when this was new school. – [Stevie] Wait, you guys did these in college? The Biore strips? – Old school, girl. – I mean, every weekend. – [Stevie] Like in your dorm room you were like doing it? – I was familiar with them, but no, I went really old school and I would just smash my nose to smithereens and the whole thing would bruise up, which based on the reviews I’m reading, this thing will give you face hickies all over the place if you don’t watch out. So I’m gonna let you get started with this thing. It takes approximately 10 minutes before you can rip them off anyway, and then I will break into this thing. It costs $26, and it has one, two, three, four, five, six suction levels. I’m gonna say start on one because I’m nervous when I read reviews like “it did not work for me at all, but did leave deep, dark bruises for a few days, streaks across my face. I do not recommend this product. Thank goodness I work from home or else I would be livid.” – Yeah, thank goodness you work from home, Link. Okay, here we go with this one. – Yeah, just throw it on there. Oh yeah, you kind of– – I’m overhanging a little bit. – That’s fine, now throw one up there. – It’ll still get the job done. – I’m gonna kick into gear here. Level one. Just okay, that’s not, that’s not doing anything. I gotta go higher, level two. Oh, look at that. – Oh my gosh! Look what it’s doing to your nose. – And is stuff going in there? Right here on this. – The ridge is a little bit too. – Oh right in here on the end? – Oh God, I just, do you feel like something’s coming out? Why don’t you just leave it on there for about 20 seconds? See what happens. – Is any juice coming out? Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh yeah. – How do you know if it’s working? – Oh it’s working. It’s sucking, I can tell you that. – [Rhett] I think it’s just putting your face at risk. (groaning) – Okay. – So they don’t suggest to keep it in one place and just pull, like you’re doing. Oh, it’s really, it really sucks. Is this on high power? – No, this is level two, my friend. – Oh, go all the way. – It actually hurts, I’m not going higher than two. I just don’t think I have any blackheads. – Oh, wow, man, you got some loose skin. When you got over here, it got really loose. Go to the side. You might need to get that looked at. Oh man, look how loose that is over there. – It might suck the brain out the side of my head. – Don’t get too close to the temple, that can kill you. – All right, let’s until yours is ready. – All right. – Now I’ve sucked a number of places on my face, and I’m just not getting residue, but I just think that we are not in the blackhead demographic. – Okay well, we’re gonna find out right here. The last step of this is slowly and carefully peel off, starting at the edges. That’s not how we did it in college. – We did it like a magic trick. – But I’m doing it slow ’cause uh. – And then you look at it and see if there’s any towers. – First of all, in the middle, there’s nothing, but on the edge, there’s some little ones here. Okay, let me go again. I take a lot better care of my skin than I did what I was 19 years old. – I see a little, a little bit of stuff on there. But again– – There’s not a lot. – So there’s, there’s not a lot for us to go on here. I mean this, the suction is definitely real, but. – Yeah, if you want something to just suck on your face and places, a couple of different little places, like a little leech. – This is the thing for you. – That, you should pay for that. – [Link] They used to call it the leech, little leech. – But if you want to get rid of blackheads and stuff that’s gotten into your pores– – Without bruising your face. – I think you got to go. – [Both] Old school (old timey music) – Now that everybody’s home all the time, using the bathroom over and over and over again, cleaning the toilet has become a dangerous job. But luckily Giddel, the toilet cleaning robot claims to be a hands-free, cleaner, quicker alternative to that dreaded chore. And based on this actual photo from the Amazon page, that must be true. Look how happy that couple is. – [Link] Yeah, they’ve been through it all together with their robot toilet cleaner by their side. It looks like he’s sitting on the couch with them. – I have a lot of questions about this couple and the setup of their bathroom and why there’s a white couch next to a very large and very elevated toilet. But you know what? Maybe it’s just a composite picture. – This thing costs $300. And I am very suspicious of it. It looks suspicious, doesn’t it? Oh my gosh, what on earth? – [Rhett] Yeah. I had a wild night. – Then you came here? – Yeah, so I’m just gonna, I’m gonna kind of come around ’cause you still do the toilet cleaner. – Uh-huh, and then hand that to me ’cause I’m gonna do old school. Oh goodness. I also had a wild night. – Yeah, we ate at the same restaurant. – Get down next to it. – I want to show you– – Just real hunkered down. – You gotta see what’s happening here though. Because they give you this connective piece that goes between your toilet and the seat that then it’s a place for you to just insert this thing. – [Link] You, I missed it. – [Rhett] Just like that. – Okay, now I will observe, you had to get really close to all this stuff. You might as well just clean the toilet. – Oh, I haven’t touched it. I haven’t, I don’t have to have gloves. And then I hit the power button. (beeping) And then I hit the play button and stand back. – You just poked him in the eye. Oh, he’s excited. – Oh he’s, ooh. (beeping) – Is that another eyeball? – Is that a good sound? Does that mean I’m getting I’m ready to clean? ♪ Just watch me, in a second I’m gonna clean ♪ ♪ And you’ll realize why you spent $300 on me ♪ (beeping) (clapping) ♪ I’m getting ready to clean ♪ ♪ You spent $300 on me ♪ – I think it has determined that the toilet is too dirty. Okay, we realized that we think what might be going on is there’s not enough water. It dipped its dipstick down and was like, “Ooh, there’s no water.” So we’re gonna, okay into the toilet would be helpful. – [Link] How’s that? – Let’s try that, that’s good. Now, ready? He’s like “This is the outside.” And then this is the inside. (beeping) Okay, we just realized you have to put water inside of the robot. So, so far it’s all user error. Now it has what it needs. Let’s do the real deal. – Yes, come on. Do it. We’ve seen this act before, and now we’re onto new territory. (beeping) Come on! – We tried to troubleshoot this thing. We’ve been on the internet. We were gonna call customer support, but they’ve already closed. – We’re not angry. – No, we’re not angry. – [Link] I’m not frustrated. – Link, why don’t you just clean a toilet? I know you like to do it. You’ve been wanting to do that anyway. Your special technique and your gloves and all that. – I know you’re trying to cheer me up, but the only thing that’s gonna do that is a little tune from our broken robot. – Oh really? I can provide that. It has to go through its thing first before it can drop a beat. It’s like one of those DJs. (crew laughs) And. (beeping) ♪ Look at me, look at me ♪ ♪ Cleaning the toilet ♪ ♪ I’m so reliable, I’m human ♪ ♪ I’m a reliable, a human ♪ ♪ I’m getting the dookie off the side of the toilet ♪ ♪ ‘Cause I’m a human ♪ How does this happen, by the way? (scrubbing) (beeping) If that thing’s not gonna clean it, neither am I. – We’re going old school like we always do. We don’t need to spend $300 on a special DJ robot that makes a little beat that nobody cares about. Now, listen, we’re not speaking on behalf of this product in general, we just are speaking on the behalf of the individual one that we received. It could be great, but ours sucks. – But hey, it looks like we’ve got a queen sweep all across the board. – [Both] Yeah, it’s old school all the way. – Thanks for subscribing and clicking that bell. – You know what time it is. ♪ So you want to change the color of your hair ♪ ♪ And you’re not sure how to do it ♪ And this is Nick from Flint, Michigan and it’s time to spin the Wheel of Mythicality. – Was that his hair? – He spattered hair dye all over his. – Right, and so, but now his hair is black. – He also had a post-it says something about investment portfolio. – You gotta get that investment portfolio.
