Transcript excerpt

You guys might think AI is cool, but this is when tech really peaked. This is the jeep clock radio Tier mosquito repeller lantern compass siren blinker flashlight. I saw this thing on marketplace the other day and I had to pick it up. Let's plug it in and check it out. Okay. So I'd imagine you'd bring something like this with you camping. You have two light options here. The first one is a flashlight. It is adjustable. The second one is this better, which unfortunately doesn't work. Okay. There we go. We've got a radio of worse. Mosquito repeller. I hope it doesn't like spray something. Oh, okay. We got a siren, but probably the part that I'm most excited to try is this TV. So we're gonna switch this to Tier. Press our power button. Okay. We have static. That's a good sign. I thought I remember hearing that you need like a digital converter box to pick up channels these days. Help me out guys. I cannot get this dial to move. Feels like it's gonna break up. I guess we'll have to fix that no, but I think I could run my no 64 on it. So let me know if you guys wanna see that. Peace.
