In order to become a lord, you just need to own Scottish land. - true. But when you buy one square foot of land, you don't own it until you register it. And you can't register land that small, so even though you really bought it, you don't actually own it. It's a scam.
I wish they researched that one
How much land do you need to be able to register?
I dont think the main pull is wow i am now an investor entrepreneur buying and owning land in other countries. I think it's more ohh cool I'm now a lord and have supported an effort to preserve nature
@@SebastianV294 That's also true, but they are marketing their service as "Become a Lord", it costs 41$ to get useless pdf file (which is available for free on several websites), they charge you additional 30$ to print it and 8$ to plant a tree. There are a lot of platforms where you can plant 50+ trees for 80$ instead of one.
@@Addison0526 Good question. There is not a certain number, it's the same as in other countries, you submit your registration request and the court will decide to approve it or not. Nobody will take seriously registering one or even twenty square feet of land.
Thank you Austin for having me on your video! It was a pleasure to play with you :)
Wana play with me ??
I would like to apologize on behalf of the entire male gamer race.
I can only imagine the BS you put up with doing this E-pal thing.
Lmao. Lucky being in a austin video! Hope ur making bank off that site!

@@Peluge10 you sounds a bit too upset about this. Mayhaps it hits a bit too close to home?

OMG, I was getting so tired of those Raycon earbuds.
Claiming they are half the price of other high-end brands, like Apple and Samsung, but sounding just as good.
Yeah, hell no, battery life might be like 30 hours, but exposing sponsors like this, felt amazing!
Yeah dankpods video of raycons was really good
tbf, I think joking about Raycon have gone out-of-style, almost never saw them since before-COVID. I don't think they even launch new mainline product now
Also if you're serioulsy looking for good TWS earbuds at less than 100$.... just look for someone trying to pawn off their free Samsung Buds2 lol. Guaranteed better quality than most earbuds in same price range
@@eemillampinen the rancans.
@@ArchusKanzaki Just buy Wired KZs so much better and sometimes there price is lower then 18$
@No im not a audiophile or anything like that, but i use the fitness Raycons and to me personally have no issue with them. I work in a shop in a shop were i can only have 1 earbud in. They seem alot better then the airpods and others ive tried before. Theyre pretty comfy, never have to worry about then falling in my machine, the noise canceling and transparency mode are pretty helpful and the each buds battery gets about 9 hours and the case only needs 1 charge a week.
Those foot detox pads just turn that colour in a warm moist environment, they are the very definition of a scam.
Thank you. I can't believe people still think those things are real
100% scam

i mean foot detox does exist , eucalyptus oil in a warm footbath once you get home maybe they tried using eucalyptus on a pad ...? not the same but for foot odor it would work...
@@sylphsylph2118 what does that footbath "detox" you from? it'd be relaxing and it'd smell good though.
I've known about those sick looking earbuds for a few years but no-one has ever done a review on them. Now, I'm genuinely considering getting them just for the gimmick.
too much bass you can basically use them only with edm

There was a big scandal over better help a while ago and the company doesn’t seem to have changed its business model at all but they’re right back at it with sponsorship deals
what was the scandal?
@@ariciaajames6501 unqualified ‘therapists’. Giving bad advice and general malpractice
Thank you for being honest on the Raycon buds, I've been on the fence for years with the product. I felt like they were cheaper than they're worth, and that's the correct assessment.
Yeah i was really happy to see raycons objectively reviewed too, as i was recently shopping for earbuds and almost decided to get the raycons but opted for something waaaaay higher quality for only ten dollars more than the raycons cost.
I had Raycons a few years ago and (I’m gonna compare them to airpod pros since I replaced the raycons with airpods) the sound isn’t great, not bad but not great. The build quality and fitment were horrendous, they would always fall out of my ears and when they hit the floor the paint would chip, the top of the case fell off after a month or two and after about 3-4 months one of them was broken and they looked like they went through a warzone… I wouldn’t recommend them tbh, there are better alternatives for around the same price and if you spend a bit more it’ll be a massive jump in quality.
dankpods made a video on them, more on a technical level and comparing them with others
Premade Huel bottles sucker you in, then you get the powdered bags. That is when you get the chalky, metallic aftertaste. They're like two different products.
Well no shit it is basically a different product one they go all out to make and the other is completely up to you how you want to make it, idc Whag nobody say that shit yummy
Don't know what's worse.. the fact that some of this crap exists, or the fact that there's people out there who actually buy it.
Also, I would highly recommend you NOT to wear those things. They're a massive health risk. Same goes for those metal things you have to put in your foot bath, as they can cause metal poisining.
It's utterly incomprehensible there's not a more worldwide strict control on anything health / medicine related.
Remember those live strong metal bracelet things? Some of those had radiation that was poisoning people.
@@Lamb666 are you talking about the ones that snap on ?
@@Lamb666 are you talking about powerbalance? I remember those being a scam about increasing your balance but I don’t remember radiation.
Livestrong was the yellow silicone bracelet that donated some proceeds to cancer and was founded by cyclist Lance Armstrong.
@@Lamb666 Lol I guess they didn't get to live strong 😂
Not sure about rules in other countries, but in the US the supplement industry and alternative medicines can get away with quite a bit so long as they don't make health claims. Even when they do make health claims, it generally takes a lot of people reporting it before the government watchdogs wake up and bark at them.
The E-pal thing seems a sus as fuck... I'm convinced Austin got the only great person on there... She's amazing
More concerning was that he got 45mins of her services for $2. I'm struggling to understand the financials there, how is that economically viable?
@@stoneymahoney9106 Maybe it's one of those first time purchases at a discount than all others are regular price? Idk but it does seem sus af tho.
@@stoneymahoney9106 I think its more of just a side hustle for most of the people on there. If you are gonna be playing the game anyways, make some money for doing it. Im sure there are some on there that do make bank from it (looking at you bedtime story readers) and have it as sole income
E-Pal is a rebrand. There were sketchy things happening with the old name.
@@stoneymahoney9106 its basically like you were gonna play this game anyway might as well get paid for playing it with someone to keep you company i guess
Lets play a game "Whos is suing Austin after this video?"
Okay but Huel is actually one of the few online advertising companies that I tried and it has been a huge help. The make it yourself is even cheaper, has tons of flavours (the caramel is to die for) and nutritionally it is actually enough to survive (I know, I only used huel for months due to an ED) so 10/10 would recommend if need a meal replacement shake
How much calories does it have?
what is ed
Basically this
Just avoid banana, banana is arguably one of the worst flavours

With Raycons you're paying even MORE for the branding than any "premium" brand. They're $20 wireless IEMs at the most.
I've used $20 wireless IEMs that actually had a good sounding bass and nice middle and high end. They did go kak in 4 months on the dot, which is a reported problem with that specific model
Beats is much more of a ripoff.
"Bulk" windows key sales are the only way to buy windows. All it is, is Dell(or whomever) buys 10000 keys for their prebuilds and didn't use them all.
i think you should subject the detox pads to a moist warm environment, i bet they will get black even in the total absence of a human body.
Yes! Biggest scam on the internet!
Scam, like all of the detox products
I've used SCDKey a couple of times for Windows keys, haven't been scammed yet. Not super trustworthy but it's a heck of a lot better than shelling out $200 for a Pro key.
Same. I've used it 3 times, and had no issues. Saw a video (here on RUclips, somewhere) where a MS rep was asked if this was legal. The response was basically, "well, it's not illegal".
They have a 55%-60% negative reviews on msot sites. I would not trust htem like any reseller.
I use cdkeys all the time for xbox live
@@timg6930 it was tech yes city, thats where u saw the video
@@timg6930 yeah but the thing is that, that call sounded like an employee that was only working there for money. but a site like vip scdkey is kind of trustworthy. I actually think that in Europe, they have something that actually allows you to do buy cheap 20 dollar windows keys.
The Huel bottles have actually been selling at my local Sainsbury’s for the same price as their meal deal, and it might be actually be a very good deal for that price. I haven’t tried it tho.
I have the Nuphy Air 75, after seeing it on short circuit, and some other tech channels, mainly in the background when building small form factor PCs, and as a complete mechanical keyboard noob, I love it. Coming from one of the original wireless apple keyboards, I have zero regrets getting this keyboard. I know the color scheme is not everyones first pick, but I really like it. Had the 60 been available when I pulled the trigger I would have bought that one instead. Coming from the apple keyboard, I definitely didn't need those extra keys, but I wouldn't trade this in now.
This is one of my favorite Austin videos, I hope you guys make more!
I remember watching a video on raycons and the one complaint they had was the bass was to light and the sound felt off
The Raycon section made me feel a lot more validated than it should. 😅 I mean just look at the company, it was founded from the very beginning with it's business model being to push products through "influencer" sponsorships en masse, just as they did successfully with celebrities and the Raytroniks company before it. They have no reason to strive for quality. Reminds me of MVMT Watches. 😐
Same, I recently saw an advertisement for them that said they also were selling water filters now?? Couldn't find anyone reviewing those so I just started watching people honestly reviewing raycon in general. Not surprised with their actual quality
what a video love the vibe bro
love your hard work
As a huel user, I'm glad you thought their product was good. Get the powder. Its even cheaper per serving, lasts for a very long time, and still tastes great. I get the black edition to be a protein powder replacement so it's like a two in one deal for me.
What flavors do you like? I tried Huel off a recommendation from a friend. He gave me 2 flavors and I didn’t really care for either (salted caramel and banana). I’d be open to trying it again I just want to find a flavor I like without spending a ton of money going through each once
one of the few scam-wasted money episodes that was indeed useful and enjoyable
"can you really trust a youtuber" said so called youtuber
That ePals service seems pretty legit. If the paid players would be playing anyway, get paid a little bit, and get to meet people (hopefully mostly respectful) then it seems like a win-win
The Lord stuff really aged like milk
I used Huel Black for 3 months, replacing 2 of my daily meals with it, and the best way I can describe the flavor is to say "It's like gourmet oatmeal." That being said, they have a very nice selection of flavor packs. I really enjoyed the chocolate mint, the strawberry, and the salted caramel flavors. It was definitely way cheaper than buying food everyday, as I'm not super into cooking. For the record, I used the powder and mixed it myself, rather than the pre-mixes. I feel like the power allows you custom portioning and it's a better value. Just in case anyone is on the fence about it, I'd highly recommend it.
my issue with raycon is that I had bought their speakers when we first started seeing the ads. Forgot how much it was ,but it was definitely not worth it. The speakers came out before BT 5 came out, so it played the audio through each "side" as stereo. The issue I had was after 2 months one side stopped working completely. I am one to take things apart (have been doing that since I was a kid), when I took the broken speaker apart I found a chip used on a cheap Chinese speaker that was the basis for a plethora of generic speakers scattered across amazon and eBay. This seems to be common with a lot of decent marketed products on RUclips and many other media platforms. *After Bluetooth 5 came out the speaker quickly disappeared for obvious reasons.
Thanks for these you guys, actually very helpful
I love your vids so much keep up the good work man 💯
I got a pair of raycons because of youtube sponsors. I hated the sound and i hated how they fit in my ears. So i bought a pair of airpods and love them. I've had them more than a year and i wear them every other day. Makes more sense cause i have an Iphone as well.
Hope you returned them, as they CLAIM, there is a 45 day happiness guarantee BS thing.
@@ShaOryDow yeah I returned them and got a full refund.
Mine only lasted 1 week past the return date.
@@TechMonkey79 ouch. Yeah they were pretty bad. I only had them for a few days before getting rid of them.
Cringey
11:26 Well, that didn't age well 😂
Ken Appears and i already love that he went with hololive merch lmao
I knew that the Raycons earbuds would be a scam because of how many ads I've seen of them on RUclips. You can get way better earbuds at a cheaper price.
I gotta say, with a more active job with a lot of head turning I often have to adjust my earbuds regardless of how well they fit, and a push button is so much better to avoid messing with my playback.
Yep. The capacitive touch ones just seem so damn finicky if you want to adjust them during active work.
It's not like I'm gonna do critical listening with some Bluetooth earpieces anyway.
You are/were not alone! I pray you found what has worked for you!
Austin, i recently had to decide on a pair of earbuds to wear while cycling so snug fit and long battery life were both high up on my priorities, as well as waterproof (i sweat a lot) and of course a nice full audio spectrum. after doing some consumer research and side by side comparisons, i chose the mifo 05 plus gen2 earbuds. i would be most grateful to see you review these as they seem to have very good buzz circulating on the web right now and i know you're real picky about earbuds.
my personal choice is the Galaxy buds plus from Samsung, they've got 11 hours of playtime in the earbuds alone plus another 11 in the case, dual drivers and sound tuned by AKG which sounds spectacular, sound passthrough mode, they fit really well with a couple different ear tip sizes and silicone fins that fit around the bud to hold it in your ear(I've never found that comfortable so I use the band that doesn't have it) and the touch controls actually make sense and can be controlled almost entirely with one earbud. the only thing you can't do with a single earbud is adjust the volume both ways, either up or down with the right or left respectively. they're about 2 years old now and I actually dropped them in the toilet a few months ago and they're still going strong
@@erikport224 How in the world, did you manage to drop them in the toilet...? But yeah those buds are chill, been using the old galaxy buds for a while now, and am considering upgrading to the new ones.
@@erikport224 you dropped them in the toilet and kept using them? I see ear infections in your future, dude...
@@ShaOryDow basically what happened is I was sitting on the toilet and I went to take one out of the case and put it in my ear and it slipped out of my fingers and fell perfectly between the gap in my legs into the water
@@kameshimayama2195 nah I didn't put them right back in from the toilet I'm not a monster. I absolutely slathered them in rubbing alcohol and Clorox wipes very thoroughly several times before I was comfortable putting them back in my ears
Fromage is a french masculine word so we say le fromage and not la fromage,
and yes windows keys are legal because they are called OEM keys, you can only use that key for one PC
Oui oui, baguette!

Kamikoto is a scam, they sell knives made of very low quality, low carbon steel, not suited for chef’s knives. The steel they use is good for resisting corrosion & that’s it, it’s not good for retaining an edge.
This should be a series!
I remember after I lost my original Airpods back in 2020 I got the Raycons and BOY we’re they bad for music/video hearing tasks.😬 The bass would be so strong it’d cancel out the instruments on songs, at least they refunded them quickly for free as advertised.
I unfortunately Kickstarted the Gravastar Sirius Pro earbuds. Design and feel are obviously 10/10 and the sound is nice. All let down by 1.5 hours of battery life and a case that loses charge over time when not in use. A huge shame as I wanted to love these.
I love that Ken is there for the fucking EPal shit lmaooo very very appropriate

MORE OF THESE PLEASE !!! Golden
Austin you never fail to entertain us with these reviews !
I just got an ad for an E-Pal competitor yesterday. It leaned more into the tinder side of hiring a gaming partner. If every experience was like Austin's, I would buy a year membership in a heartbeat
What the site looked like at first was kind of cringy but once they actually used it it seemed pretty cool and like a fun idea. If all the people available on their platform is like who they got I say its cool. That said, I get anxiety thinking about talking to randos in games as it is so im not paying for that XD haha but I could see it being amazing for if having a shit day and you just want someone interesting to play with
Hey Matt! Appreciate your comment! :)
Your explanation is very clean and clear Thx
This one was super cool. Keep them coming! I always thought Raycons might be good for some reason? So this video was super insightful in all the bs you see on youtube.
"You are now legally a Scottish Lord!"

"That looks like pre-owned farmland."
I love how ken just walks in and listened to austin's laptop when he played the sample.....especially the end, I'm sure all of his neurons activated
I know this will never be seen but I much prefer a physical button on my earbuds. I'm bad about wanting to readjust them, especially if I'm sweating and I'll end up pausing or skipping when I don't mean to. I also have trouble indexing exactly where to touch and things like that. Just give me a lil button I can physically press. I feel the same way about other electronics too.
Scdkey is not a scam... I already bought my windows there and it works great.
I got this notification while watching another RUclips video talking about their sponsors wow
That happened to me to the shipping, but I get no updates. It’s been two weeks.
Great idea for a video, test more items I see on YT so I know if they are any good
Now I see, RUclips is a new TV… 😂

The epal sounded smart and kind! I am on the 'I may have a few too many friends'-side of things but honestly, that sounds like a good deal.

I have a pair of $40 Mpow earbuds , they are touch control , usb c , wireless charging , pause when you take them out, have active/passive noise canceling , and sound great.. (Compared to m y $299 over the ear AKG). The biggest plus, and reason I got them is , I knew you could listen to them with only 1 bud in, some brands you can't. Never tried airpods, but I own 0 apple products so the child slaves will have to miss out on one sale :-) .

“Meal replacement” shakes, while convenient in certain circumstances, can lead to greater weight gain in the long run. Once you factor in the repetitive nature of the drinks, the high dropout rate for plans that include them, and the questionable ingredients in some, you’re left with one simple truth: they’re not worth it. For $50, you get twelve bottles. If you’re drinking one per day, you would need to purchase thirty-one cases in a year. That’s $1550 (plus tax & shipping). Maybe they give a discount for subscriptions or larger orders, but I don’t know. If you drink two, you’re buying a case every six days, which doubles the cost to $3,100/year (plus tax & shipping). Maybe that’s worth it to some. There are people who spend more than that on coffee every year. That being said, you could join a gym, purchase a decent home gym setup, and/or afford a personal trainer for $3,100/year. Is Huel a scam? Considering the cost-to-benefit ratio, I would say yes. Is it a malicious or intentional scam? I guess that depends on who’s running the company. Are their ingredients FDA approved or regulated? Are they charging a reasonable price for their product? How much of a bottle of Huel is filler meant to give you gas and make you feel full? I guess these are all questions you’d need to get answers to before ordering Huel or any other “meal replacement” product. Be safe out there, kids 🫠

raid shadow legends advertising is so advanced, they were mentioned in this video without even being highlighted. Amazing ✨
Someone I know had raycons and the person hated the physical button and the paint scraped off and stopped working my razer hammerhead pro have worked for longer and still looks nice.
Some youtubers have reviewed the Raycons and think it is kinda a scam... I mean you can find similarly priced earbuds that sound better...
The scammy part of Raycons is they are just rebranded Chinese earbuds
The one I’ve seen was from DankPods. He actually gave them a proper review with their output wavelengths. They are ALL bass, and literally no treble.
Tbh i was hoping for something from DBrand with Linus face on it and see his reaction xD
i was expecting some website sponsors like glasswire, freshbook, thing, and others and what about bang energy drink.
Gotta say...nuphy is a damn honest company. They didn't try to say they were amazing and smart and the best. They just said it as it is. Plus they make good products worth the money.
If I wasn’t a headphone user, I would’ve probably fallen for the raycon scam. Thankfully I am a headphone user and I’m not an earbuds user
I use both. And I'm glad I steered my brother away from Raycons. He uses Soundcore earbuds and I mainly use AirPods or my QC35 II's.
For the Detox food pads, it’s best you use it when you’re about to go to bed. (No Socks)
It’s Common in my household with my parents believe that it makes them feels better after waking up the next morning, I use it sometimes and it does make me feel better however i do think it’s a placebo effect base on your belief and a well rested sleep at night
I have the nuphy air 75. I fucking love that keyboard.
OMG KEN ROCKING THE DEAD BEATS SHIRT. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I really appreciate this video, seeing if youtube sponsorship products really are all they are cracked up to be
Dankpods refers to them as Ray’s cons, a very fitting description
Also you never proved SCDKeys and their windows licenses. I’m not someone who needs license keys since I just get them from the stickers at the ewaste but eh…
They are a scam but pretty innocuous to most and really only an issue with game keys because they get rejected quicker (and more permanently). But its all grey market, site license keys, MSDN license keys, and people with stolen credit cards (or Giftcards purchased through hacked accounts) reselling keys for pennies on the dollar. I call them grey market because they offer you good working keys (though they do have for extra money, warranty on the keys in case they get rejected) but a massive amount of them are sourced illegitimately.

For earbuds that are going to take abuse while at my job for the price Raycons are great quality for price and I'm not mad if they get abused.
I do landscaping and my 20 dollar altec lansing Bluetooth earbuds have lasted months, and I can use one at a time. They have capacitive buttons too. Raycons are about the same quality. For over triple the price.
Raycons are rebranded jlabs that cost 20 dollars at Walmart
raycons are just rebranded alibaba headphones you can get for $20
I use Skullcandy earbuds and they're about to be a year i have drop them in mud step on them and fall whit then and their still kicking their not bad for 30 Dollar earbuds
6:43 my mi earbuds looks the same - the usb c jack also has gaming mode -75-80ms latency and only costs 10 dollars and they don't even sound that bad these raycons look pretty expensive if you compare it with other generic tws n it's 8x more expensive that my redmi branded ones.
