Is a robotic trash can a good thing? Let's talk about that. Good Mythical Morning. Here's a fun fact: do you know that a single hair braiding appointment can take up to 10 hours, if not longer, depending on the style and length of your hair? Would you be willing to stay in a hair... A hair? A hair, a chair? Inside of a hair? Would you be willing to stay on a hair, on a chair, at a chair for 10 hours? Are you Doctor-freakin'-Seuss, man? You know I'm too tender-headed for that. Unless I was gonna be transformed into an Orc for the upcoming Lord of the Rings series. Is that happening? Yeah. Did you get the call? Oh, no. Huh. Well, they must not have your number, because they called me. But I would sit in the chair. Keep your butt seated right where it is. And if you're running right now or on a skateboard, stop and sit down to watch this episode. I mean, that's not safe. 'Cause we're gonna be testing an array of high-tech tools meant to take the hassle out of your everyday life, including an electric hair braider! What, are they gonna be safe? I don't know. It's time for New Tool or Old School. We're gonna test a few newfangled home tech products and compare them against the more traditional ways of getting that same job done. And depending on how these fancy new items stand up to the old way of doing things, we'll decide if we should go with the new tool or stick with old school. Maybe you wanna buy some of this stuff. Utility! In this episode. Yeah. I'm a tall man, a big man, and big, tall men have back problems, so I'm very familiar with the need to massage myself. But every time I ask Link to massage my lower back, he just looks at me and says, "Why don't you get a machine to do that?" This is the Naipo Shiatsu Neck and Back Massager. This thing's got a heat function, different speeds. Basically you just place this thing- $50? Onto your back. Highly rated. We're talking 4.4 out of 5 stars. Over 42,000 ratings. You put your hands in here to kinda put some downward pressure on. Oh snap. And then you turn it on. Oh! It's starting to dance. It might grab my hair and just rip it completely off, like one of those TikTok videos. You're not moving. That thing looks like it's alive. Oh. Good... It's doing that to you? Oh my goodness. You know how there's a people, we've talked about this before, the people who just come up and start massaging you, but it's weird? "There's a people"? There's a people. There's a personality type. There's a people group. And they're like- The massagers. They sort of emerge in high school. Everybody's too self-conscious in middle school to do this, but like 10th grade, if you're a massager, you're like, "I think this is when I come out and start massaging people," in 10th grade. There's another people group that likes to turn canes into massage-type stuff. This is the old-school alternative. Instead of just going in there and using your hands... Well, instead of us asking Stevie to come out and massage me- Thank you. After getting her to shave my back. It's like, listen, I'm just gonna use this $25 cane, which, you've had one of these, right? I have one of those. You put it right there. But it's never made me feel like this. The leverage that I can get- Oh, it reversed! It reversed! I didn't even ask it to! Oh gosh! Oh! I love being able to hold my... I feel like a king just holding my hands in front of me like this. I mean, you are applying pressure, kinda like I am. Yeah, pressure. But it seems like you're having a lot more fun than I am. But you know what, there's something about this that doesn't feel right. The leather? You know, I think Twinkle Fingies can help me out though. ♪ I'm so tight, so stressed ♪ Where are you going? I unplugged it. ♪ Aw yeah, that's the spot ♪ I don't know where it goes. You unplugged it. Oh! Uh! Eh! Uh! You're blowing it, Rhett. Keep playing it! I'm gonna figure it out! It's over. No. The song's not gonna last forever. Where do I? Where does it... It's dangling on the left arm. Right here. Don't stop! ♪ Stiff, so stressed ♪ ♪ Need someone to rub my chest ♪ ♪ Aw yeah, that's the spot ♪ ♪ I like the way you work my booty knot ♪ Yeah. I got it right there at the end. You didn't even use it. I'm sorry. I let everyone down, and mostly myself. I mean, that's the review I'm writing. "Takes the entire booty knot song to find how to plug back in." This thing requires no plugs. And talk about working your booty knot. Can you even work a booty knot with that thing? Well, that's what I'm gonna try. I think you gotta put your arms in like this. All right. Play it again, Twinkie. ♪ I'm so tight, so stressed ♪ No, let it do the movement. ♪ Aw yeah, that's the spot ♪ You stop for a second. Yeah. Look, it's working its way up. Look. Oh yeah. It's working its way up! Oh god! You better not goose me, man. If you goose me, I'll never forgive you. ♪ So stressed, need someone to rub my chest ♪ Here, now try... Here. Here. I got another idea. Here, let go. Now take it... Take it off your arms. Okay. And let's try this. The little thing's falling off of 'em. So you ready? Ready to play it again, Twinkle Fingies? Where you gonna put it? You step right here. Step where? Step right here. Right here. All right, hit it. ♪ I'm so tight, so stressed ♪ ♪ Need someone to rub my chest ♪ How 'bout that? You got it turned backwards. How 'bout that? Turn it towards me, Link. No, I want... It's like dancing boobies, man. Oh, oh. Dancing booba-looba-loobies. ♪ A two-handed attack, I had a really hard day ♪ You know, I think this is it right here. ♪ And I want you to rub my feet ♪ Aw yeah. All right. Right there. Okay. You know, I think this is- Cut it! This is pretty easy. This is a no-brainer. You like for 50... I mean, this is 25. For 25 more- And I gotta say- You get that thing. This is Jenna's. She's over there watching. Jenna, I'm sorry. She's been watching the whole time. I feel like I'm playing with someone's baby. Well, you're rubbing her baby on your booty. Yeah. I'm sorry. All right, so New Tool or Old School? We are saying New Tool. Easy, easy. This thing's great. Just twice the price of this. Yeah. All right, I grew my hair out for this test here. I knew you had follicle power. And you see, it is gray under there. Look at that. Perfect. It's definitely my hair. Which I want to braid in this twisted braid that I'm seeing everybody do. Yeah, everybody's doing it. But I don't want to do it with my own hands 'cause I want to use a dangerous... Potentially dangerous battery-powered device. Yeah, this thing is gonna get interesting. And I'm glad you're doing it with the hair you just grew out. I'm gonna be trying to do the traditional way of braiding. And I've never braided my hair. And we're not doing, like Link said, this isn't the braid where there's like three strands, which I always thought that was what braiding was called. This is twisting two individual strands of hair. A twist braid. And then just twisting those together. Now, this thing- I'll get started. It only costs $11.50 on Amazon. And this one's called Twist Secret. But if you look at it really closely, they misspelled "Secret." It's Twist S-E-O-Ret. S-E-O-Rhett. Oh, you know, maybe this'll help with our SEO. Yeah, this will help with people searching for it. Seoret. And I've looked at the tutorial video, but I've not actually done this. And it looked a little scary. So I know if I take two pieces of equal lengths... The reviews are not great. There's only 130 of 'em. Three out of five stars. Even the people who give it high ratings are still complaining about it. I'm gonna take this and I'm gonna- That part was trick, just right there. I'm gonna pull this up. And I'm gonna switch hands. Just the initial part. I assume it gets easier the more you do it, but... And then I'm gonna take this one. I can't even see... Okay, and then I'm gonna put- I don't have fine motor skills. I'm gonna put this one in here. I scored pretty low on that. And then they need to be the same length, so I'm gonna yank this back to where I'm to the edge. All right, Stevie, any predictions? Am I gonna lose all of my hair? I'm a little concerned. But it's not your real hair, so I think it's okay. Shh! Don't tell 'em that! This is my real hair. All right, so I'm gonna push up to twist each one individually first. Three, two, one. Oh... 'Kay, and now... Oh, that kinda worked. And then I'ma pull it down to twist them together. Come on. Whoa! How's that? Does that work? Yeah. Is it working? Is it working? Stop it! Okay. A little too much. Is there a reverse on this thing? Did that happen? Did I get a Seoret? I think you got a killer braid. Seoret? That's really gonna hit that CEO. I went a little too far. SEO. So then, to release it... Oh gosh. Like that. And now I need a- You need a little hair tie. Oh, I lost it. I lost it! I've lost it! No, that's better. That's better. Okay. Last time I... You know, I was in charge of Lily's ponytails when I was- "I was in charge of Lily's ponytails." Like, when we would go to church. "You shoulda seen me. I was the ponytail man." It was chaos trying to get ready for church. "Hey, it's not perfect! Get back in here." What does being in charge of a ponytail entail? I did the ponytails. But you didn't do braids. No, I didn't do braids. I just yanked it through the thing. I feel like this is happening. And now, how's this? I mean, that's pretty good, right? Oh, did the thing just come off? I mean, I'm holding it against my hand so you can see that. Oh gosh, parts of it just came off. Let's make a decision. Well, hold on. First of all, what you've done is nothing. Just looks like you've twisted hairs together. Yeah, that's basically what's happening. I mean, you gotta twist 'em individ... Look. I mean- I did that, but then I... Here, I bet you when I get this thing on the bottom, which is gonna take me a second... Look away. You know what I call that? A dumb man's attempt at a dread. And then this goes in there. And then this does this. It is cheap. Look. See, now- But it feels like... I look awesome. I mean, I think I look better than you. No you don't. I think my technique... First of all, what we really needed is we needed somebody who has braided their hair before. I partially blame myself for this. I didn't want to say it, but I wasn't monitoring you close enough because I don't understand what you've done. I know how to do a regular braid with the three strands. This twisty-twist thing, I think this was just a setup. But you know what, I think it's gonna curl real nice when I take it off. New Tool or Old School? I think we're saying neither. Nei... I agree.

Now, one of the best things about having children is, uh, you can just never touch the trash again. You know, I make my- Uh-huh. No, I know how you are. You're a control freak. But my kids, I just make them touch the trash. When they go off to college, I am gonna miss them, but the main thing I'm gonna miss about them is that then I'm gonna have to touch the trash again. Well, I can't believe that you're actually claiming that your kids follow through with actually touching the trash. It's just trash. No, I'm just saying, they're supposed to do it, but I actually want a machine to do it. Right, so this Townew T3 Slim Automatic Trash Can. Apparently, what we've been told, is that this makes the whole idea of bagging your trash, like tying it up and getting it ready to go, it's done by a robot that's living in it. I have high hopes 'cause, I mean, I always have the dog dookie bags in my house, and then you're like, you're throwing the dookie bags in- Oh no, are you telling me that what you do, you get your dogs' dookie, you bag it, and then you come in and you just throw it on the floor and they're all around the floor? No, but this is what they've given us, so I was like- You were just trying to- Is this how it works? Make your story believable. The thing is, I mean, you gotta sit here and like... I usually take a piece of trash- Oh, that's recycling. That's not too dirty- That's recycling! And I use that to start plunging stuff down. And then I'm closing this thing up. It's not the easiest thing in the world. You're making it seem harder than I think it is. Well, you touched the trash, and then you're trying to get the thing closed. I'm get ready to spend $160 on this thing if it works. Because- Is that how much it costs? $160? Yes. I do not like this. And then you gotta sit there and you gotta pull this. I mean, this is turning into a freakin' infomercial. Yeah. And I'll tell you- And then you've gotta- You're being very frantic about it. You gotta go like this. You're doing a great job. You would be good at the infomercial thing 'cause you're making it seem harder than it really is. Now don't forget the blow. The blow? You don't blow in your trash? Well, my kids do it and I've never seen 'em do it. I've never seen 'em blow the trash can. I tell my kids to blow in the trash can to get out the air bubbles so that you're not putting less trash in. And then you've gotta cinch that around there. It is not easy to change the trash can correctly. Well, Link, let me show you how easy it is. Ooh. I like that. Hey, this is my part! I'm gonna act like Link. This is mine! This is my part! Let me do it! I thought you said, "This is my fart." Okay. Oh. Oh, oh, it just closed on your hand! Hey, come on. Come on, Oscar the Grouch, stay open. Oh! It wants to shut down, doesn't it? It opens just for a second. And then it lets you... Oh, okay. Everything's good, it closes. Then then you just press this little button and the robot goes to work. So what's happening? We can't see what's happening. It's beeping. It's churning. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, look at this! It's making a new bag! No, it's heat sealing the bag. Look! I don't know if you can see that, but it is getting hot in there. There's a coil! There's a burning ember. Look, there's smoke. Look! And then I just take it. I take this, pull it out. And watch, it'll close. Watch this, watch this. It responds to my hand commands. And then? Yeah. It's doing another bag. But did it blow? It blew itself. Look at that. Oh my gosh. Look at that! It blew itself! That's better than a child! There's no freakin'... There's no bubbles in there! No bubbles in there! And look, it's completely sealed. Not a freakin' sponsor! Oh. Uh-oh. What did you... I just- You hit the button. I'm making a balloon. You shouldn't have hit the button. I don't know, this thing seemed to work pretty flawlessly except for the time it tried to bite my hand off earlier. Look at that. You just got a bag of air. Look at that! Is that a bag of air? Yeah! Okay, I don't know. It makes air. It is $160, but, I mean, having a child costs, I don't know, I think it's like at least $5,000 at a hospital now. And you know what? If you use this in the bathroom, like the nasty-nasties that go in the trash can- Are you talking about feminine products? All that type of stuff. What else are you talking about? What are you throwing away in there? Anything that you throw away in the bathroom- You put the toilet paper down the toilet, right? Any orifice, then you don't want to touch it. I love this. Okay, so the Townew T3 Slim Automatic Trash Can. We're saying New Tool all the way. Link's taking it home. Thanks for subscribing and clicking that bell. Yeah.
