This is 70% product review, 30% wholesome just a dad chillin' with his grown daughter in a park. Either way I am here for it. 👍
I think it was an elegant idea, they done a review, enjoyed the time, short BBQ , lots of smiles and some laughs.
I wish all people like this quit peaceful and fun.
Love the dad jokes awesome dude
I will break the mark of the beast, and be the 667th like
@@BubbyBoy may your water’s ph be slightly different than usual so it taste different but not to an extent to fix it but enough to not taste like your water
Condiment asmr
Those "grass slip-ons" are actually perfect for hip-replacement folks. It has made walking on concrete
much more comfortable for me. I appreciate them very much.
Excuse my ignorance, are you not suposed to walk on grass anymore after a hip replacement? Or how has it helped you? Im very curious
I think it means that walking on hard surfaces, like concrete, is painful. But the grass shoes are cushioned and make walking more comfortable.
That condiment gun is a food fight waiting to happen
The fresh top caps are great to keep the bees and insects out of your beverages tho mine dont leak at the cap
Had some for years. always assumed the tiny leak at the screw cap was by design to prevent the entire cap from popping off from the pressure of a shaken can.
@@spiderpickle3255 I think you hit the nail on the head there.
These were meant to prevent huge spills and keep flying crap like wasps out of your drink.
I love used to use them work because I didn't always have time to drink a whole soda. I do believe the top cap has some leaking to prevent the top from building pressure and blowing.
Yeah got those for my mom when she was fighting cancer. Also kept them from going flat when they were put back in fridge when she ran out of steam. Mine never leaked either.
Exactly what I was going to say. Good job.
I love how hard he is trying to be so dad and make his daughter laugh.
Bobby Thompson who hurt you lol
Kmorris 91 a feminist. Almost everyone has been hurt by them.
His daughter is, like, GOALS. I love the way she looks and that fiery red hair rocks.
His daughter seems really cool and really fun! She looks a bit timid to be on camera but she's getting the hang of it
Yes
YEAH always wanted to step in shit then use it to open a bottle to drink, NASTY
I didn't even think of that!! GROSS😂😂
how often do you step into shit in your flip flops? never in my life and I am 30
@@flippy9133 you could still be stepping on gross stuff maybe a public bathroom
@@flippy9133 very true. I'm 31 and can't think of a time when I stepped in shit while wearing flip flops....Still, idk if it's a risk I want to take!!😂
Actually, that's the first thing I thought of. Just carry a key chain bottle opener.

Trent Reznor is the greatest musician/composer to ever live.
This video was even more wholesome with you and your daughter just having fun with these weird products!
This video actually made me smile a lot! It really looked like you enjoyed making this video with your daughter. Great vid!
I thought the same. Love Daddy daughter bonding. 💗💗💗
*son
Yep best part of the video was the fact they got a day out together and had a family BBQ for filming. And their interactions her cute nervousness contrasting his supportive more extroverted 'hostiness'. ;]
That does. Not sound creepy at all
@@dr.nutsacc son?!
Dude, I've been binge-watching your channel for a couple of weeks now, and the level of production on this vid was awesome. It's so interesting to watch you get more and more comfortable in front of the camera. Thank you for a very enjoyable and fun format. I'm loving it.
Thanks Rhonda!
For the lazy readers, I can see them being a godsend for someone who has recently had a certain kind of surgery, procedure, or accident, or some such, that forces them to stay flat on their back all the time. It gets very tiring to hold the book over your head, but if you can lay flat, while propping the book on your chest or stomach, and read with your head facing straight up, it's good. Basically, they should be in use in a hospital, hospice, or long-term care facility.
I wish I had those glasses when I broke my neck
This was my favorite piece on the video because of how much he made me laugh! I feel like Noah is my spirit Gen-Z’r lol. I love cool kids, ya know since I was one back I. The 80’s lol. Didn’t get to sport the cool hair cuz Texas public schools are pretty uptight.
Michelle Young that’s what I thought of vr headsets.
Va
They give them to patients when they’re having an MRI too. I’ve had one and was given those so I wasn’t just staring at the tube which is very disconcerting.
I think that lazy reader should be for sale in hospitals.
Another one of those products that was almost certainly designed as accommodation for a disability, but not advertised as such, so people don't know what it's for. Also "Lazy Readers" is not the best name for it. It should reflect the usage more, and not sound so judgemental.
Supine Readers, perhaps? That could work.
@@AuntLoopy123 You bring up a good point and as always, marketing is everything.
You both are super spot on. I have a slew of medical issues and have since my early teens. And a lot of the "useless" or "lazy" products I see people review I either use or would use just because I struggle on my own and hate having to constantly ask for help.
Fortunately some RUclipsrs have made an effort to point out that these products can be used in assistance capacity, I just wish more people were made aware.
Good idea
When my grandma became disabled, her in home support nurse gave us a catalogue featuring items that helped the disabled. This was back in the 2010s. The book had many as seen on tv items. The nurse basically said that some of these as seen on tv products were designed for people with disabilities. So there ya go.
You Bonding with your family is the best part of this episode! The Grill Sargent was a thumbs up for me! Might buy one.
I love the relationship that you have with your daughter. At her age I was being gaslighted by my dad, but of course didn't know what that was, or why I felt such rage. Forty years later, he's gone now, and I feel nothing, as if I'd heard of a stranger passing. So thank you for being a good dad to spend time with, and treat Noah with respect and kindness.
- recommend slippers with bottle opener in them
- top of can may not be sanitary xD
Bottle
Rap Sure Records BEATS can
@@nicopaoletti3501 oh ok
I don't think I would want to drink from a bottle opened from the bottom of the slipper 😣
Sandal lol and Reefs are just good quality with or without the opener
@@joanielcardona1214 sorry, sandals... or whatever footwear it may be. All the germs it has gathered **shivers**
What's the difference between that and one on a keyring? lol
"That is why no one will remember your name." - Achilles
The next review will be a combo bottle opener / thong.
2:50 man I can just imagin abunch of drunk guys sitting in the woods in the dark usin that shoe bottle opener just to find out that it left poop on the rim of the bottle from the shit they stepped in
They'd be so drunk that they'd laugh about it and call each other "shit-face" or whatever.
I agree with some others here - I really love when you include your family in your videos. You seem like a really wholesome dude. Really enjoy your reviews too 😄
It’s nice to see your easy interaction with your daughter. She ought to be on more often!
So Amazon pulled a WISH and sent you the wrong thing.
People with neck pain would like the glasses.
I was thinking the same thing since I have neck issues, but I need reading glasses so I'm thinking they wouldn't work for me, they need one with a variable focus.
Or an injury.
My brother has in traction for a week or so and those type of glasses saved his sanity. They're great when you need them.
Thank you Dawn Hess! If this message reaches you:) I lost my marbles by the time they got to the readers but luckily I caught your valuable comment. I have neck pain and may check it out.
It didn’t look like it held up to the 90 degree test, you still had to hold your hands at awkward angles it seemed like when he was reading the book.
It was great to see you and your Daughter do a video together! Thanks for the awesome reviews!
Your daughter is adorable. She looks like she should be in a punk or rock band. Love you two reviewing the items together. #familytime
Is it not a guy?
@@slurpyfn1010 its a girl
@@alexiordan3889 its a noah
@@bostonrailfan2427 Maybe he just still believes in Biology and doesn't want to conform to his daughters mental condition. (If his daughter was schizophrenic, James wouldn't indulge her by telling her "the Russians" are in fact after her)
@@bostonrailfan2427 female to male she looks like a female not a male
Those sandles are a joke you need to go get the ones with a bottle opener and a flask inside them great video brotha
Now that'd be a kool way to sneak booze into a concert lol
I loved that you had your daughter on with you, this was awesome. I've never tried any of these items but enjoyed seeing you explore with them. Don't think I would spend money on any of them. So jealous that you have warmth and sunshine (Nevada) whilst the rains have returned to us here in Oregon, also chilly. Was more than worth watching just to see the sunny skies :)
Your daughter has such a great laugh! She’s an awesome kid!
Ok... from one parent to another.... can I just say..... How stinkin cute is Noah?? She seems extremely well mannered and intelligent! You done good dad!!
Anarchism is well-mannered? How does she show intelligence from being silent and seemingly unsociable?
@@chadm2343 & im guessing her pronouns are they / them.... sorry, i couldn't help myself, this day and age it seems to be all we hear anymore. I'm sure she's a nice young woman.... I hope.
"Ima hold it side ways like a gansta" 😂😂 "freeze hot dog"😂😂😂😂😂😂
"If you stick you finger in there, it does seem to kind of work."
those prism glasses are to have your neck in proper position and not have it bent down constantly
Your daughter looks absolutely rad. Such a nice feel-good video that made me smile! Thanks for posting
I bought that in 2006. Wash can first. Keeps bugs out of drink.
Dawn Hess good point! I bought some of the can covers on eBay - they work even if not perfectly.
Hey. I was wondering. Would they keep your drink from going flat fast??
Yes , over night to next day if you have the ones that don't leak. Like mine from 2006.
The old ones would send your can shooting across the table if you didn't press down with even pressure.
Bugs would be the biggest benefit.
12:21 This Soldier 76 GrillMaster Cosplay is really impressive.
Oh hell yeah 😂 I can’t unsee it now - he even has his drink
He's missing the wig tho xD
This was one of my favorite videos. The sheer silliness of the products was funny and so was watching you trying to figure out how to use them. And yeah, my daughter laughs at me too. 😆
I have a bottle opener on my keys. I always have my keys. My keys don't spend all their time on the floor.
Some of the places my keys have been are worse than anywhere I’d deliberately stand, however the bottle opener mainly touch the cap which is getting removed. You can always rub a napkin around the neck of the bottle if it scares you.
@@corettaha7855 I don't wanna know what you do with your keys and why. A bottle opener on the bottom of your shoe is still stupid/gross.
Noah makes me feel old by being bewildered by Ballpark Hotdog's slogan.
Ha! 👍👍
@North American RUclipsr How old is Noah?
@@ArchangelExile They're 21.
@North American RUclipsr *their
@@arcadianwind Ah, thanks. That makes me feel even older, lol.
I have severe neck pain that prescribed muscle relaxers aren't helping. Those glasses would be a God.send.
I'd be able to watch tv, text, and play online games without causing more pain. Even writing this comment is hard to do. Thanks for that review!
My brother had a neck injury and those glasses were really useful for reading while recovering.
@@ddegn Whether reading a book or watching tv a few yards away, it was all clear?
@@pandarush. Sorry, I should have said "those type" of glasses. My brother injured his neck about 35 years ago. My uncle purchased some prism glasses which were really helpful to my brother. If I remember correctly, these type of glasses used to be much more expensive than they are now.
The glasses my brother used didn't magnify. Things didn't appear at a different distance, it just changed the angle of view.
I see on Amazon, there are several different brands of prism glasses. Apparently the weight of some of them bother the users.
Good luck with your neck.
@@ddegn - I just now ordered a pair . Thanks for your input! How is your brother's neck now?
@@pandarush. My brother has limited motion in his neck and has occasional neck pain but in general he's doing great.
I hope the prism glasses work for you.
My man James keeping it real with RUclips’s advertiser friendly lingo, for that my friend you get a like
I really enjoy your videos! One of my favorite things to watch. It’s not just the products it’s your way of presenting them and who you are. Love your dog too
13:54 "china factory flavored" 😂
Some times I spend the whole weekend in bed reading. My arms get tired from holding the books up. Those lazy readers really have my interest.
This was adorable. Yes to more cooking and family videos!💙
"Freeze, hot dog!" 😂
The pop can toppers came out many years ago originally. And they had a lid that actually popped off. They didn't leak..
yep, those are the ones we had.
I still have a pack from like 10 years ago
I still have some of the originals as well. My grandmother bought them and they were pretty great!
Do any of you actually use them still?
I wish the Lazy Readers specified the strength of the magnification for those of us who use drugstore readers.
I dont think it magnifies I think it's just a couple mirrors to switch your view to down instead of straight
@@gottagobuy6436 yup
Really cool seeing you and your daughter together... ! fantastic video- Thanks James! Lovin your channel.
Love it when you involve your kids in the videos, you can tell you have great relationship with both of them, a good dad!!
Hey James! Great reviews as always. I actually really enjoyed this video because the interaction between you and your daughter is just precious. I love it when you, Brandon, and Noah have a chance to be in a video together. I feel like you guys were just enjoying the day out and goofing off while checking out some fun products together. Keep up the amazing work!
BTW when you said "hold it sideways like a gangsta" about the condiment gun, my fiance and I busted up laughing! Too fuuny!
Love your reviews and just your personality it goes together great keep them coming
Hi James. Love your channel. Concerning the Freshtop Caps, I got some similar (look nearly identical) items from Telebrands years ago they still work great. Mine do not leak when they're upside down. They have snap-close caps, not screw close caps. These could be knock-offs of them. THANKS for your great reviews. BTW, Noah has a great attitude and an awesome hair style. 👍👌👍 😎😎😎
I have a feeling you and the kiddo go to shows, and concerts together. \m/
Just like my father, and I. Wouldn't change it for the world
I really have to agree with Noah, I can't stand bugs and I'm always worried about them getting into my drink.
If you switch to diet Coke no bug will ever touch it. Not sure why but I don't really want to know because I get cranky without my diet Coke.
Watch out for surgery sodas though. I had an actual lazy moving fuzzy bumblebee steal my orange soda. It was cute but I was petrified with it there.
Yikes, ever take a sip out of a can someone has put a cigarette butt in?? Disgusting, it happened to me!!
I’ve accidentally drank both a bee and a flying ant so I’m pretty concerned about bugs in my drink. Usually I just set my phone or a damp paper towel over the top but that would work too
@@heatherblain304 My father in law had a wasp in his beer can.
Luckily it was dead and he didn't swallow it.
Still imagine if...
The Aviator shades fit you much better than those steam punk circular style!
I got my lazy readers a couple of weeks ago prior to seeing this review. I saw them advertised and they appealed to me to help with tech neck. They had a 2 for 1 special when I ordered them. I have really enjoyed them! My husband laughs at me every night when he walks in the bed room and sees me fully reclined watching RUclips videos on my iPad. Great for reading books and watching tv also. Not only does it help with tech neck, if you think you get wrinkles on the front of your neck by looking down constantly, it could possibly help with that. One con, it does make me dizzy if I move my head a lot so I close my eyes with head movement. I recommend them! Another plus, you can wear them over your regular glasses.
And by the way I found your channel yesterday and I love it. I’m binge watching and subscribed!!
Why are you putting hot dogs in that home circumciser? 🤣🤣
Ryan McCumber😂😂😂
I liked the video and thank you. Noah was the star. She reminds me a little of my daughter. Somewhat of an introvert. Seems like a sweet girl.
Always love your videos! It's always nice to see the family of RUclipsrs, keep up the good work!
I love your channel man. kinda nice to see y'all chilling in a park. Something seldomly done by most people.
I love your daughter on with you. She is adorable. You all seem to have great relationship. And the gangsta ketchup gun was hilarious!!
Your daughter has some awesome style! And so many of these items seem pretty... Situational.
Love the Reefs!! That's all I wear and year round too! Mine don't have a bottle opener but yous are awesome.
Awesome daughter not embarrassed by her dad.. Great info. fun to watch. Thanks for sharing!
Glad to see your daughter. She's beautiful. Still enjoying your videos. Good Job. 😄

Is his daughter actually a boy or something? I've been a little curious about that.

Great video James & Noah, the gadget that went on the Coke can, I would use it at the beach to keep sand and bugs out of your soda 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🦘🦘🦘🦘
Hi from North Las Vegas 😭😭 I’ve been binge watching and enjoying your videos as of yesterday.. keep doing you
This is one of the funniest videos I’ve seen in a while…Loved It!!!
I absolutely love your editing style in this James!
I love Reef flip flops, I saw these bottle opener when I bought my last pair and couldn’t stop laughing.
It gets a -100 from me as it's just gross thinking about it. I mean, if it's clean then I'm fine with it but if you're wearing them, then it's gross. Imagine walking outside in the dirt or using the bathroom and then using it to open up a bottle.
I would never use them for sure, that’s why I thought the idea of them so insane.
Reef sandals are the best. I found some at Ross once and have never looked at any other sandals. I love that they don't have the plastic bumbs on the side that cheap sandals have and make your feet hurt.
At 13:26 and I've gotta tell you... You sir are a very dadly dad. You d been dadding all over this video!😂 Love it!
Brother you got the right idea. And making content has got to be more fun after beverages! As always I love your content, it’s a blast!
All the best to you and yours!
The glasses might be interesting for someone who is bedbound, and can't move their head to look down, but still wants to read or something.
One of the best videos yet. Nice work James 👍.
Best pair of flip flops I ever owned were Reef. Had them for 6 years until my roommate's dog got ahold of them. Had it not been for that, they easily had years more life in them.
I don’t know if it’s my dad factor kicking in, but I love the legitimacy of having kids guest host. This was one of my favorite videos!
The Lazy Readers would be awesome for my work meetings when I'm "paying attention" but doing something on my phone, Or out and about giving people my undivided attention 😂.
Bahahaha ha! "China factory flavour".
Ha ha, mate yes the tong test! I've always wondered why I do that whenever I pick em up.
That condiment flare gun would definitely be fun for kids. Big kids too.
Great video as usual mate, cheers!
Ur daughters style is on a whole nother level
She looks like an average punk rocker only non of her patches are punk bands. It's a common thing I see people dressing punk or 80s metal but the bands dont reflect the dress. NIN for example not punk and the aquabats are a pop ska type band. Just my observation, i used to be into that scene but never dressed all decked out but other punk rockers did.
@@Mixwell1983 I don't think she looks average at all, and your logic is pretty lame. If you'd lived through the actual punk years you'd know punk was about individuality, not about adhering to someone else's silly "rules" about fashion. Rock on Noah, I think your style is great, especially your changing hair colors.
@@linda-moonlight your observations are so right on!! Individuality was the watchword back in the day. :D
She has three different styles.
@@Okurka. and??? Really explain to me what difference that makes? She has one style, HER OWN, and apparently that drives silly people nuts.
Get a grip!!! I don't see people in here talking smack about what James wears, but you'll go stupid on Noah, what, because she's a woman??? Sexist pigs!!! 🐽🐽🐽
Love that NIN top. And love the way he is with his daughter, dad jokes and all 😂
That was fun! Love the change of venue and your special guest.
Great reviews brother, and your daughters style is awesome. Nice to see you two bonding in such a fun way
You both have useful insights. I love it when your kids feature.
Grill sergeant: He is missing his BEAR SPRAY!!!
Hey great video as always! Glad to see punk and family are surviving together :)
Noah your daughter is mega cute :D Loving her style.
Can i pet your GOTHIC KITTY
Come to California. They're everywhere.
She really is!
Love the NiN jacket
Shit got weird but the goth look is fitting
and how is the mustard gun better than just putting mustard on it from the bottle ? you gotta wash more stuff thats what
It's just mindless fun, Sean M. Don't make me get my ketchup gun.
Lol the grill sergeant needs a gun... kinda goofy. Yep I don't like cleaning xtra things!!
sean m yeah, then the kids get ahold of it and it’s ketchup and mustard cleanup everywhere!😜
No one said it was "better", but it works, that's the point.
Because Murica, that's why!
Love the farmer’s tan James! Haha love your videos!!
P.s. don’t know if you’ve heard about the bug a-salt gun but the condiment guns reminded me of that! Would love to see you review it if you haven’t already! I’ve heard it works well. (Not sure if there are a lot of flies in Vegas though). 😜
Me after watching one of this guy’s videos: this guy’s got a hot dad vibe going on. Like goofy handsome dude with kids you meet at the gym and he tells you about his daughter’s ska band or something

Push a skewer down the center of the hotdog then slice around it.
I will not be purchasing ANY of these items. That's the beauty of ur channel. You show me the best of any item I might be interested in. I have purchased several of the items you've reviewed as being the best.
Yay Noah is back!! Hoping her anxiety isn’t being affected too harshly from everything going on currently. Mine has taken quite a beating but luckily my 14 year old twins’ hasn’t changed much 🖤
Reef sandals with bottle openers have been around for at least 15 years. I'm surprised this is the first you have heard of them, especially from how often you visit Hawaii. I worked on a cruise ship in Hawaii from 2005 - 2007 and discovered Reef sandals then. They are the only kind I have worn ever since because of how comfortable they are and how long they last. I'm not bashing you at all here, just really surprised it took you this long to hear about them. I love your reviews...keep 'em coming!
The can cap thing has been out for years I bought some for when I went to the beach and they worked great for not letting bugs in your drink
It is always great to see your daughter. Thank you for all your hard work!
What a fun video! I’m glad your daughter joined in - she’s totally adorable, and was a great addition to your videos. I like when you have your kids help you out - they really seem like good kids. (Not that I don’t enjoy your videos when you’re by yourself; I do, or else I wouldn’t be subscribed to your channel.) Anyway, looked like fun, I was surprised some of these kinda worked!
Not sure how I ended up here but I am living for the happy suburban dad just chilling with his anarchist punk daughter. I love it.
The Lazy readers would be good for people with neck problems.
2019 samsung invents folding phones, meanwhile someone invented a hot dog scorer
Ur channel picure is right android is so much better.
Y'all are a trip! You made me laugh! I'm glad you spent the $ instead of me! Thanks!
Hey James, I just wanted to say, I think it's so cool that you include your kids in your projects. That's such a rad-dad thing to do.
They seem a little camera shy, but there's nothing wrong with that! It's cool to see you so energetic and comfortable with the camera. So on that note, I have 2 questions.
Were you ever camera shy?
How do you become comfortable around cameras, and maintain that happy and excited energy?
