00:10

00:15
this probably ten times and people have loved it. It's the Roku 2 XS streaming media box. ROKU.

00:23
Yeah, ROKU. And it is hands down the greatest way to stream Netflix instant viewing if you do

00:30
connect it to your TV it works through your home Wi-Fi and then it has a great

00:33
Netflix interface to watch the Netflix instant streaming and you can rent

00:37
Amazon demand new release video so I never go to a video store anymore I rent

00:42
Amazon and by the way Amazon now if you're a Prime member they got all kinds

00:45
of very good 10,000 remove 10,000 that shows I use it and so this is exciting

00:51

00:55
these you can really win this is a great gift it's affordable they have models

00:59

01:09
It was Facebook? You can't enter. You're a crown employee. Okay. But I like your style. This is

01:15
another great gift. Affordable. This is $30. This is the Smart E tablet lap desk. So you know the

01:22
popularity of tablets and e-readers. So the idea is, you know, your lounge around home, you know,

01:27
your hands get tired holding these tablets. So just a simple concept. It's padded on the bottom.

01:32
Put it down. Smart E, 30 bucks. Okay. Popt up. It's a good idea. Are you getting tired over there?

01:37
I notice you're fading on us a little bit. Get this man juice. Your legs, his legs are getting

01:43
tired. Okay, we'll get around to you. Don't worry about it. We don't know who these people are. I

01:45
don't know who they are. Okay. It's really weird. Next. Another great go-to gift. This is $35,

01:50
the Brookstone automatic wine opener. So just put it on the cork, press the button. I'm going to turn

01:54
as slowly as you can see it.

01:56
A little automatic corkscrew going in.

01:58
I did this the other night.

01:58
You can open a wine bottle like one second really quick.

02:01
And it works great on those screw caps too.

02:03
It's the Brookstone wine opener.

02:05
Okay.

02:05
Let's move on.

02:07
This is the Hilo TC helicopter.

02:10
I wanted to show you this because a huge thing right now are accessories for the iPad that

02:15
are physical toys.

02:17
So they have tanks, they have cars.

02:18
This is a helicopter.

02:19
You've gotten pretty good at that.

02:20
download an app and I'm controlling this helicopter from the iPad and I did that on purpose.

02:26
Yeah, right.

02:28
So that we could add some action to your boring show.

02:31
Thank you so much for helping us out.

02:32
Well, it's a good thing to think about for people who have iPads.

02:35
Look for these physical toys.

02:36
You know, that's 35 bucks, the Hilo CC helicopter.

02:39
Wow, that's a good deal.

02:40
It's fun.

02:40
Yeah, great for kids.

02:41
Okay, I have no idea how much time we have left, but I want to make sure that we get these guys in.

02:44
We have to address this bizarreness, don't we?

02:46
Yeah, so why don't you tell us?

02:47
Go ahead and tell us.

02:48
Okay, I had to bring this because the helicopter has gone rogue.

02:52
This is called the Silk Bag S-E-L-K, and I had to bring this visual to you.

02:59
It's not electronic, but it is the latest in high-tech outdoor warmth.

03:03
It is a wearable sleeping bag.

03:05
Isn't that a crazy visual?

03:07
So we definitely need an endorsement here.

03:10
What do you think?

03:12
What does that mean?

03:13
Are you warm?

03:14
Yes.

03:15
Yes.

03:15
And are you comfortable?

03:17
And can you say any words other than yes and yes?

03:21
I think you can do a shout-out.

03:23
It's comfy and you can see on it and it's a camping thing to do.

03:31
That's right. It's a good camping thing.

03:32
