happier life. Me too. I am healthier and happier thanks to therapy. And even still, sometimes when I begin my therapy session, I think to myself, I don't really have anything to talk about. But as soon as I do start talking, it always becomes clear to me that there was something that I was holding on to. Yes, I feel the same way. There's always something that could benefit from being talked through. with a trained professional about. in therapy, which is what BetterHelp allows you to do. And having that dedicated time each week, regardless of where, whether or not I think I need it, has been huge for me because.

So, today we'll see which newfangled products are worth your money and which.

are just angling for an uncomfortable hug. It's time for New Tool or Old School. The humble pizza peel has been around for. as long as pizza, or at least the eighties?. I didn't know it was called a pizza peel. At least the eighties. But I did know. that. it was a thing. I just didn't know it was called pizza peel. I am excited about. Well, yeah. Pizza peel. Pizza peel. Yeah. Okay. And also paddle for bad boys. But it's twenty twenty-four, y'all.

You know what? That's why we're gonna tell you all about the slide board pizza peel. I saw this thing on TikTok. They'd be. picking the pizzas up with it. It's thirty dollars. This thing's only twenty dollars, so it's more expensive than the traditional thing. I'm a little sus of this. This is like something that would be in, like, a woodworker's garage. There's no way it works as well as they do it on the TikTok. Let's try. All right. Pizza's back. We're gonna do both of them. Put your chair out, bro. So we just have.

a. hot pizza. Hot pizza. Hot. What would you do with a hot pizza? Pretend like this table is the oven. You can't touch it at all. That's so hot. I just touched it. Okay. Don't do that, Rhett. Peel it out, Link. I did it. And now I can flip it. Yep. Now I can flip it back. Oh, you're making a. He's making a calzone. Make it again. Do a calzone. Calzone? I can make a. Calzone, please. Calzone, please. I'm trying to calzone it. There we go. Backwards calzone.

Reverse calzone. Okay, here we go. So I'm just gonna slide the end under. Now, I could have slid the whole thing under there, but I didn't on purpose. What do they do on TikTok? I'm just massaging the edge. Now I can do this. That's the same as you did, though. Right. Come on now. For ten dollars more. Come on, grab it.

Is it? Are you supposed to spray glue on it? Grab it. Try, like a. An initial, quicker. swipe up, like, go faster with your. That's what I've been told. Stevie's really pulling for this thing to work. There you go. Almost. I mean, if I get a bunch of it under there. Faster, Rhett. Harder. Again. It's like, let me try.

I'll enjoy this reverse calzone. That's not doing it. You're just sliding it under it. Look at that. That's not what. That's not what it's designed to do. That's just doing this. That's paying ten dollars more to do the same. Look at that. Try again. Oh, no. You ruined the illusion. No, no, no. No, this tastes good.

Set it down. Don't break it. Don't break it. Don't break it. Don't break it. Don't break it. So, I did this. Yeah, but you didn't do anything that. this thing can't do. That's not it. No, no. That's not it, right? It's supposed to grab it. I mean, that's kind of it, yeah. Oh, I thought it took it and pulled it onto it. I'm you now, and you're me. I was trying to get it to grab it, but you're saying it just sticks underneath it.

That didn't quite. Here's the thing. for me with. Do you use a pizza peel a lot in your regular? No. No. The hard part for me is always the raw dough pizza that you're. trying to shove into the oven. And I think this. little. guy would be helpful with that. Okay. Well, I was under the. When I saw it on, when I saw it on TikTok, maybe it was an optical illusion. I thought what they were doing, is if there was just a pizza that was on the ground,

and then it went like this, and it pulled the pizza onto itself. Like. I agree with you. Obviously, you can slide under the pizza, but so can that. Well, I would just make the argument. It's really hard with a, with a a fresh dough pizza that you're putting in the oven to use a pizza peel. That's wood. It doesn't work. Because this material is a slidier material. So it goes underneath. Exactly. Okay. All right. I misunderstood.

I'm not saying, I think that there's other tests that we should do to figure. out if this thing's worth it. What about the flip test? Oh, the ketchup test? Yeah. I wanna see if it can clean the ketchup. Really? Don't do it too fast. Don't spray it everywhere. Don't spray it everywhere now. Don't spray it everywhere. What do you mean, spray it? Okay, I'll get out of the way if that's what you're gonna do. You want me to go slow? What? I don't think it'll work if you go slow.

Look at that. Ain't nothing. It's completely gone. Ain't nothing. Clean it off. Let me try. I gotta do that. I gotta do it. Well, I can put it back on there if you want me to. You didn't need to. Now I gotta do two of them at the same time. Look at that. What? There was ketchup there a moment ago, Link. Put it back. Put the ketchup back.

Make a stain. And now. Yes. What? What in the crap? What? How viscous can it go? They've done it with water I was told. Let's do it with water. Here, have some ketchup. Yep. Put it on the pizza. Ketchup on the pizza. Yeah. There you go. Oh, no, it doesn't work unless it's on. Something flat. Maybe the back of the pizza here. There we go. I got it, I got it, I got it. All right. Well, here, don't, put it on the back of the pizza. Water me up. Water me up. Water you up?

Just a little bit. No. What? This is water. No. Can you see that there's water there, Stevie? Did you say TV or Stevie? You're talking to the people. If you're watching on your TV. TV. Can you? I can. Oh, I gotta start, set it in motion. You got all the water. No.

There you go. Pour it back on. Pour it on. See, I wanted to see how dry it got. Okay. What's happening here? Oh, we're ruining it. Ruining it. How are we? We're ruining it. All right, go again. You want to try? Yeah, let me get this water up. I think we ruining it. Put it on the pizza. I mean. That right there, though. I mean, the ketchup is remarkable.

And why would you want to clean up water with this thing anyway? If you didn't have a paper towel or a mop or, you know, any other tools that would need to. I kind of feel like this is my new. companion. I think we. I wonder. Taking this thing everywhere. I feel like we need to, like, completely clean it off and see if it's still as good as it was. To do what? I don't know. I feel like it was doing a great job on the water, and then it got a little streaky. Are there refills for this fabric material? Because it really is. Well, it says, simply rinse our pizza pill with water and wipe it dry with.

a cloth for easy cleaning. The handle is equipped with hanging holes at the bottom, facilitating convenient hanging, efficient drying, and saving storage space. All right, now that I understand how this thing works, I am pretty dang convinced. I, and. I was really going hard with it. That's why it's got the stretch marks now. But. stretch marks are part of life, and I think they're beautiful. Right. It's something to be embraced. So. we are saying,

new tool. The old school way to make whipped cream. just involves. heavy whipping cream, a whisk, and a sweaty guy. I'll be the sweaty guy. And I will be the unsweaty, high tech future cream man with the Isi whipped cream maker. Of course. Not a sponsor. We paid seventy bucks for this thing, and. it's. Now, don't start, because we're gonna race.

Yeah. Now you've already. I only just, I've just creamed my bowl, that's all. You've already kinda started. This thing is super heavy duty. I mean, and it comes with. nitrous. tablets. That's not a tablet. What would you call that? I call it a cartridge. It's like, a cartridge. Put that in there. Well, I'll do what I was told to do, which is. Okay, I'm starting. No, don't. Okay, yeah, there's a fill line here, so I'm gonna put some cream in here. Is this how you whisk?

The fill line's on the outside. In circles? In circles? Is that how you do it? In the. Side to side? But not the end. Figure eight? So how do I know? I can't do a figure eight. How do I know when I've reached the fill line. through the thing? It's really hard to tell. I haven't. It's less than the fill line. Nicole, do I, like, put one hand on? I'm taking my time because I'm super confident that as. long as this thing works as. advertised. to me by Davin. Oh, I can't do it with my left hand. I got nothing on my left hand.

It's like a baby's hand. We'll be good to go. I'm putting this thing on really tighten, because. she's gonna blow. There's no way that I'm gonna beat you. I mean, this is so thin over here. Keep going. So thin. Now, don't even think about clock wipe, because I'm over here. I'm not gonna clock wipe. I'm gonna put. I couldn't even do it if I wanted to. There we go. Oh, that's. I just heard it. I heard it fill up with pressure. And now. I'm gonna take this thing.

Oh, we got some cartridges. Oh, it feels cold all of a sudden, too. Yes. Thermodynamics. One, two, three, four, five. At least five shots. I just went for ten. And now. Oh, would you like us some of this on your that? What the crap? Would you like some of this on your that.

Well, you know what? You got. Hey, you got some of this. on that? And on that. Sorry, y'all. And on that. It got on that. On that. I didn't. What did I do wrong? Well, it went. It went. There's a lot of thats, guys. Hold on, why is it working so well now? I don't know. Hold on, what did you do the first time? I don't.

I just. I did that. Yeah, maybe don't do that again. Well, you're the one who asked. Hold on. Did you put it. Did you actually put it inside the waffle? No, I just. I pulled it the trigger all the way down. Does anywhere in the thing, does it say not to do what I did? Because I did it and that's what happened. Yeah. Would you like some of this on your that? And you got to. Gently. Gently. Yeah,

gently. Gently. See at this point. Let me have that. Of course. How am I bleeding? Oh god. Like. after. That is so strange. I'm literally. How are you? How did you hurt yourself? Oh. Well, I wanted some, and I don't now. Well, there's no blood on the thing. Here, open wide. Oh, you're a bloody man. Do you trust me? Let me just have it. Now. I don't want a bloody man doing it to me.

Now there's a lot of fidelity to this. Oh, it's on that finger? No, I don't want it. You're bleeding. You got bloody cream everywhere. I think I have to do it up, up, up. How's that? Would you like some this on that? How's it going over there? You should have specified that before you put it.

I've made a mess, I'm bleeding. I did what I was told. Yeah, I will say no one told him to go easy. I just love these cartridges. You gotta remember who you're dealing with here. You know he's gonna go full throttle on step one. Well, I haven't made a mess yet. I also haven't made any whipped cream yet. I've used the whole. canister. just on that. There's really no way to tell how much whipped cream you made. Because there's quite.

I can see quite a lot. Yeah, I mean, I've made a lot. All right, well, that was fun. Oh, but gosh, I'm just really thinking about. how long this is gonna take somebody to clean up. I'm sorry, that was. That scared me. And how did I start bleeding? I don't know. Okay, so, I mean, it's dangerous, it is quick, it's messy. I gotta say, I'm not much of a fan.

Well, I haven't made any cream yet. Well, what are we gonna do? Clock wipe? Wait. No, no, no. No, no, no. We know, we know what's up, dude. Let's just say. You're gonna say that this is better? Well. I think that could be pretty cool in the hands of a professional. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Or just a normal person. No, this wasn't my fault. But it needs to have a warning. It's expensive, it's powerful, and I'm bleeding.

So. I think that means. new tool. You buy food and you eat it. But do you ever want to try new foods that you know are going to be good because. somebody you trusted has told you, hey, look at this new thing you didn't know about that's actually good?

Watch my friend. He's a natural athlete. He can whip it. Not a lot of people can do that. I can kick and I can push, and I can turn. Not a lot of people can turn it like that. And I can do this.

Watch. When he wants to get his board and go home, he does that. Yep, yep. And when I want to Ollie. When I want to jump over something, I just get. I just get nice. and ready, and then I'm like. Yes, see, Ollie. So you've seen that. It's very impressive. But what about a. skateboard. that doesn't have a board? Am I right? What? Yeah. Sharper Image in the house.

This is the. Skateboard without a board. This is the Boardless Skateboard. That is the name. It's a hundred and nineteen dollars, and ninety-nine cents. Let's see how it works. There's no board. Where's the board? It's gone. They make it look so easy. Oh, we can do this. I'm sure it's that easy. We can do this. We can do this. Okay. What's happening to the rest of that person's body? I don't know. Are they, like, holding on to, like, some sort of tram?

I think I'm gonna need to hold on to you just to get a. Get it on, though. Hold on, I gotta tie my shoe. Yeah, that's necessary for sure. Okay. I got to loop it through the shoe. It's gonna hold you. Okay. Here we go. Oh, my god. I'm trying to be stable. I'm trying to be stable for you. Okay. And then what do I do? I guess you. What? You just.

I kind of feel like I'm gonna split. Let me. I gotta really hold on. They are really. What are you doing? Get, skate, man. I'm trying. I don't know which way to go. Do an S motion. Should I be on a skateboard right now? Should that help? Nope, just hold on. Come on, come on. Oh, god. You're too damn heavy, dude. Let me try. When you do like that, you get out of it. You can stop for a second. Let me. Oh, you're done? Well,

do your best. Do your best. It's gonna feel. a little precarious. Well, I mean, they put us on these mats because. It's to kind of slow the. To add a little friction. You want me to, back or front? Can you. just get on all fours? Nope, I don't want to do that. I'll get low, though. Just get down on your knees, though. No, because. No, you won't be able to hold onto me if I'm on my knees. Oh, I see. Yeah, so you can do that.

And then you kind of. And now you lean back. Hey, don't. Hey, no, don't touch me there. Where? Now your wrist guard is really hurting my shoulder. Well, I'm sorry. Do I need to move with you? I'll move with you. We're going this way. All it looks like is you're walking and I'm hiding behind you. Okay. I can't see anything. Spin around, spin around. Spin around so they can see you. Well, hold on.

I'm not on it. Stop. You're not on it? I'm not on it. Okay. The key is to look where you want to go. You're gonna pull us both down. Okay, let's go, let's go down. Oh, wait, I'm not on it. I'm not on it. Just. You're hurting me. Just like the commercial. Stop with your right hand. Just like the commercial. You're grabbing me so hard. Hold on. Maybe I'll face you. Yeah, face me. There we go.

It's like we did some sort of. ritual. Okay. Okay. Hey, we've almost got it. We've almost got it. Here we go. All right. We're choking each other. Now skate, skate, skate. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's not the direction that I normally go. Yeah. Go this way. Are you goofy? I'm regular. Regular.

Let's go towards the camera to make this more dynamic. This is hard for me. We're coming, we're coming. Here we come. We're skating. I hate this. That sucks, man. I hate it. Sharper Image? Duller image. What? What? Yeah, give us. I mean, give us some time with it. Maybe. Maybe at some point we could get it.

Maybe the problem is you holding onto me. Oh, yeah. Do it by yourself. Yeah, I want. Nope. Nope, nope. Too old for that. Too smart up here and too tender everywhere else. So at least for us, when it comes to the Boardless Skateboard, we're going with. old. school. Old tool. Old tool! Old school. Whatever it says down there is what we're saying.

Because this is a hazard. to. smart people with tender parts all across the globe. But we did learn some stuff today. We learned that that pizza peel, boy, it can clean up water. Blockbuster. And we also learned that just because it's got a trigger doesn't mean. you need to pull it all the way. Yeah, just ease into it. So two out of three ain't bad. Yeah. Give me five. We didn't break our wrists. Do that again. Oh, that's really satisfying.
