Show notes

Mike drops $59 on the “unnecessary purchase of the day,” and naturally the mystery box demands a full on-air unboxing. Inside is a steam cleaner with enough attachments—and questionable possibilities—to launch Merchandise Tuesday into orbit. The boys also get heated over Red Sox–Orioles baseball, tariff trouble, baffling sleep advice, and the high-priced world of sports fandom. Josh reviews Will Ferrell’s The Hawk while Mike investigates an Alibaba watch that may be even less authentic than advertised. Robb finishes the fun with bargain-bin dogs, drumming, and Wolfman Jack’s surprising thoughts on personal hygiene.

[SPEAKER_05]: It's only the beginning.

[SPEAKER_05]: And now, here's Mike.

[SPEAKER_07]: Hey everybody, all right, we have found, finally, we have found the transition from the modern fun of our intro music to the tedious,

[SPEAKER_07]: laboring audio board that's play sounds it is robbs toy that he bought a king's dominion which which punctuates the segue I don't have to wait for click breathe buttons being put it's it's perfect because that just that that popping sound it covers everything it covers that look can we hear it again one more time please

[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_08]: Oh, louder, please.

[SPEAKER_08]: Well, it's okay.

[SPEAKER_08]: Well, I thought you were going to run that thing into the ground before the show even started.

[SPEAKER_08]: Not going to a third press.

[SPEAKER_07]: But when we go there.

[SPEAKER_07]: So everything sounds.

[SPEAKER_06]: And you know what, I wanted originally to do it live, but a little reverb.

[SPEAKER_06]: You were right.

[SPEAKER_06]: It just needs a little sweetness.

[SPEAKER_07]: And now every day, whatever music we have, it motivates me to go create some more intro music for the show and when you do that transition from the new to the old you will hear this.

[SPEAKER_07]: I was worth the $16, wasn't it?

[SPEAKER_07]: It was worth 100%.

[SPEAKER_07]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_07]: Worth the 16.

[SPEAKER_06]: I got that and a candy apple.

[SPEAKER_06]: So I mean, it was a big purchase.

[SPEAKER_07]: Was my $59 purchase?

[SPEAKER_07]: By the way, we will get to the other purchase of the ridiculously inexpensive watch.

[SPEAKER_07]: But was my, and I wrote this down as the unnecessary purchase of the day,

[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, was that worth $59 and that's that's what we started with $59 is a funny amount because if it's much less than $59, you can almost just sort of do it, you know, $50 is I mean, it's a lot of money.

[SPEAKER_07]: I'll point where you're like, you've really spent money.

[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, like I mean 50 $50 like if you're buying stakes at a box door, $50 or under get those from Omaha stakes a fine sponsor.

[SPEAKER_06]: Exactly.

[SPEAKER_06]: Well Mike, Omaha stakes you never have to spend a lot of money.

[SPEAKER_07]: But that's why it's 59.

[SPEAKER_07]: It's to get you under that six.

[SPEAKER_08]: I don't think it's like a gas station.

[SPEAKER_08]: Like a gas station.

[SPEAKER_08]: It's that 99 cents.

[SPEAKER_07]: All right, I'm ready to join our wonderful supporters on our YouTube page as well as you, gentlemen, and at home, feel free to play at home if you wish to, I guess, the unnecessary purchase of the day.

[SPEAKER_07]: $59.

[SPEAKER_07]: $59. [SPEAKER_07]: $59. [SPEAKER_07]: It is sitting on my kitchen table right now, that don't read kitchen into anything. [SPEAKER_07]: It's just sitting there. [SPEAKER_07]: That's where the box is. [SPEAKER_06]: Is the kitchen where things end up for you? [SPEAKER_07]: for your family. [SPEAKER_06]: No, not necessarily. [SPEAKER_06]: I got a center island where my stove is. [SPEAKER_06]: And on either side there's a good hunk of counter that I try to keep clean. [SPEAKER_06]: And you know, I've given up on so much stuff in my life. [SPEAKER_06]: I really have my life in general. [SPEAKER_06]: I've given up on. [SPEAKER_06]: But if I come home and someone has left like a used knife or mail or, you know, maybe an ID for someone who might work at a school, and it's on a big land you're at an instrument or it's in your area. [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, the kitchen is still my domain and don't mess with that. [SPEAKER_06]: But now we have a kitchen table, I let them have the kitchen table and if something unexpected shows up on my island, [SPEAKER_06]: I put it on the table and what them deal with it. [SPEAKER_07]: I would say the kitchen table is definitely where stuff ends up and that's where this sits alone. [SPEAKER_07]: Since we got back, there's not a lot of crap in the house, which is great. [SPEAKER_07]: The only area of my house. [SPEAKER_06]: This item is it crews related, this useful item? [SPEAKER_07]: We will get into that in a second. [SPEAKER_07]: I will say that the only part of my home that is a full-scale disaster area is the garage. [SPEAKER_06]: And Michael, that's sad, because you got rid of all that pipe and drape. [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, that hip disaster between E-bikes and my tools. [SPEAKER_07]: And a truly unloved snake. [SPEAKER_07]: and you love that break. [SPEAKER_07]: Well, I, I, I take care of this snake. [SPEAKER_07]: I value you this. [SPEAKER_06]: Well, you do, but do you not love it, though? [SPEAKER_06]: I, you know, I love Jake. [SPEAKER_07]: I love having Jake. [SPEAKER_07]: I'd be bummed if Jake wasn't around if Jake passed away. [SPEAKER_07]: I'd be bummed. [SPEAKER_07]: I'd really be bummed. [SPEAKER_06]: You buy him livestock to eat. [SPEAKER_06]: I buy him livestock. [SPEAKER_07]: I clean his cage routinely. [SPEAKER_07]: I finish, I furnish him with water, but back to what's in it. [SPEAKER_07]: on my kitchen table. [SPEAKER_07]: I'm ready to begin the guessing game for what I purchased. [SPEAKER_07]: I would say is a definitively unnecessary purchase. [SPEAKER_07]: Will I use it? [SPEAKER_07]: Yes. [SPEAKER_07]: Is it necessary? [SPEAKER_07]: No. [SPEAKER_06]: All right, do we go back and forth with yes knows is that how we're gonna do whatever you want? [SPEAKER_07]: I don't care. [SPEAKER_07]: There's not a game. [SPEAKER_07]: I just decided No, it is not my next belt James Malois. [SPEAKER_07]: It is not that's funny James Malois. [SPEAKER_07]: No, but that is funny because I do purchased and expect I love stuff. [SPEAKER_07]: That's not [SPEAKER_07]: Break the bank. [SPEAKER_07]: Exactly. [SPEAKER_07]: It makes me, you know, Jake is a slob. [SPEAKER_07]: Jake is definitely a slob. [SPEAKER_07]: The commenters are right on the commenters. [SPEAKER_06]: It's a snake. [SPEAKER_06]: He doesn't, wow, what is a tidy snag? [SPEAKER_06]: It doesn't even have hands. [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, but he's pretty stinks. [SPEAKER_07]: And he has to be. [SPEAKER_06]: Jason pisses everywhere. [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_07]: He does. [SPEAKER_07]: And so back to the, the project. [SPEAKER_06]: Let me lead. [SPEAKER_06]: I'll start. [SPEAKER_06]: I'll start with a yes note. [SPEAKER_06]: Is it cruise related at all? [SPEAKER_07]: No. [SPEAKER_06]: Okay. [SPEAKER_06]: Josh. [SPEAKER_07]: that a tool. [SPEAKER_07]: You dropped out there. [SPEAKER_07]: Is it a tool? [SPEAKER_08]: You've been missed for handyman lately. [SPEAKER_08]: It's a tool. [SPEAKER_07]: I would say, you know, in a manner of speaking, yes, not a tool in the sense of, okay, not most general managers that I've had and, and also what you would hang on the wall, but, but most definitely a tool. [SPEAKER_07]: Yes. [SPEAKER_06]: Okay. [SPEAKER_06]: It is a tool. [SPEAKER_06]: Is it something that you would use primarily with woodworking? [SPEAKER_07]: No. [SPEAKER_08]: Okay. [SPEAKER_06]: Josh. [SPEAKER_08]: Is it for outdoors? [SPEAKER_07]: You got a lot of latency, Josh. [SPEAKER_07]: You might need to duck out in there. [SPEAKER_07]: Well, if Josh ducks out, does everything go south? [SPEAKER_08]: No, I know. [SPEAKER_07]: I'll come right back. [SPEAKER_08]: What were you going to say before you duck out? [SPEAKER_08]: Is it something for outdoors? [SPEAKER_07]: It could be. [SPEAKER_06]: Is it food related at all? [SPEAKER_06]: Because it could be a grilling tool. [SPEAKER_07]: No. [SPEAKER_06]: Okay, not [SPEAKER_07]: But no, no, I'm not going to, I would be conjuring it if I said that you could, I would claim to be. [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, does it, does it have a mechanical element to it? [SPEAKER_07]: Yes. [SPEAKER_06]: OK, is it an electric element? [SPEAKER_07]: Yes, okay. [SPEAKER_06]: Is it something that is could be sharp? [SPEAKER_06]: Something you could cut yourself with? [SPEAKER_07]: No. [SPEAKER_06]: Okay. [SPEAKER_06]: So it's something that you can't cut yourself with. [SPEAKER_06]: Does it make, is part of its value? [SPEAKER_06]: It's noise, the sound it makes. [SPEAKER_07]: Rolando has weight in with. [SPEAKER_07]: inflatable suit with propeller between your car. [SPEAKER_06]: Oh, he's referring to the the bro float. [SPEAKER_07]: And I know that's incorrect. [SPEAKER_07]: It would be inflatable suit with propeller between your legs. [SPEAKER_07]: It would not be inflatable suit with propeller between your crotch area. [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, you can't be between a crotch area is a crotch area. [SPEAKER_07]: It is not a weed wacker, which is a Josh. [SPEAKER_07]: This is not a marital aid. [SPEAKER_07]: It is not a fiber optic camera. [SPEAKER_07]: It is not another prostate myself. [SPEAKER_06]: I'm not there. [SPEAKER_06]: That's what makes that funny. [SPEAKER_06]: Josh, this is an electric item that you can cut yourself with. [SPEAKER_06]: All right. [SPEAKER_06]: So, okay, your question, Josh. [SPEAKER_07]: uh... have you asked about sunglasses uh... and it is not sunglasses now that would be mechanical or electrified he was mechanical he was out he was he was have you had one of these before never oh okay hmm is he was at a time for a hint okay good i like i got the idea [SPEAKER_07]: When, once again, that old pesky algorithm of mine went something popped up that I found fascinating. [SPEAKER_06]: You know, before I guess I want you to know that right now, don't know why my algorithm is filled with leader-hosen. [SPEAKER_06]: I can't explain it. [SPEAKER_06]: Is it something that has to do with your pool? [SPEAKER_07]: No. [SPEAKER_06]: OK. [SPEAKER_06]: Is it something to do with gardening? [SPEAKER_07]: And James Moe, it is a non-animal stimulant. [SPEAKER_07]: It has nothing gardening? [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah. [SPEAKER_07]: And now that's the first real myth that you found. [SPEAKER_06]: No, no, Mike, that could be grass. [SPEAKER_06]: That could be weed removal. [SPEAKER_06]: I was kidding you. [SPEAKER_07]: Who did, do I strike you as somebody that spends time out in the yard? [SPEAKER_06]: You'd never struck me as someone who would buy a flamethrower to get rid of weeds, and yet you did. [SPEAKER_07]: So, um, it does that, you know what that does that really count as yard, though. [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, well, yeah, yeah, really count as you're done in the vagueness. [SPEAKER_07]: It's me, Mike. [SPEAKER_07]: All right. [SPEAKER_07]: Okay. [SPEAKER_07]: You got me. [SPEAKER_08]: You got me there. [SPEAKER_07]: Yeah, got me there. [SPEAKER_07]: I got my honor. [SPEAKER_08]: Doesn't have a camera. [SPEAKER_07]: No. [SPEAKER_06]: Is it rechargeable or does it have to have a cord connected? [SPEAKER_07]: Um, it is sitting on the kitchen table and has not
