Where do you want your blindfold? Uh, in the neck warmers. Oh, that's what you're pretending this is,
because we totally don't use these. Why didn't you fix it before?
You didn't tell me it was broken! I did! I did! No, you didn't!
Yes, I did. No, you didn't. 100% Yes, I did.
Like, I told you before the hack, and then I told you during the hack, and you were just so flustered.
You weren't paying attention to things, so... I wasn't paying attention to things.
At least my stuff's plugged in. I didn't set this up.
Well, no, it was working at some point. And... Someone unplugged it.
These ones don't work? Why not? Well, okay, let's try that, because it's...
I mean, they're slow. This is USB 2.
And it shares power with the keyboard. Oh, wait, no, it doesn't, actually.
Well, I don't know. I guess that's going in the return pile. Well, remember, this one doesn't have a USB hub on it anyway.
Okay. So, you won't be using these ones. Okay.
But yeah, you do not need that at all. This CalDigit Thunderbolt dock has four USBAs, two Cs, another A, another C.
It has, like, so many ports on it. Fine.
This isn't a dock, it's just a charger. Yeah. A charger.
Yeah. Yeah, this is just a charger. So... And that's a dock, so you can actually plug it into the computer.
Okay, wait, what is this charger for, then? I'm very confused now. I don't know. Nothing.
Is this an option with other Ultimate Tech upgrades? What?
Do I get to just say, no, you don't need that, you should return it, and then I keep the budget?
Like, is that how this works? From now on? That's the future, we have to justify the budget.
Yeah, and if I can solve the problem for nothing, then I keep the money.
I feel like there was a rationale for it. USB hub for desktop, right?
That's what this is. See you later.
Okay. Ah, that's really not what I meant to do.
That's also not the return pile. That's the keep pile.
Return pile. That is an impressive return pile.
Okay, I don't, I don't know. I don't understand. What can I get rid of for you next?
You can get rid of this bug. Ew. Thanks.
Oh, you know what? I wonder if that's for traveling, because I told Jake that I wanted something
where I can plug it into a wallet lit, and I can charge my laptop, and my phone,
and my battery bank all at the same time. Oh, sure, yeah, it's for traveling. Okay, so then yes, that's not for my desk.
Okay. That's for traveling. Okay, it's really heavy. Yeah, actually it is.
And then this is for my laptop.
Yeah. I had like a drawer full of those.
Okay. You're actually hilarious.
Why? I don't know why.
Okay, so I'm guessing you have a drawer full of these too? You don't need these?
Oh, yeah. Okay, well. I mean, she lives with Tech Tips Man, and she's buying USB charging hubs and wall warts.
Oh my god, really?
Next she'll be buying cables, or type C hubs.
Oh man. All right, what else can I throw in the return pile?
Um, okay, so when I travel, should I take that one, or should I take this one?
Should I take this one? Or both?
Both. No, just one. Do you need to do 340 watts of charging?
I just want to charge my laptop and my battery bank and my phone. I would take this.
Okay, so then should I return the other one?
I would plug my phone into the laptop, except it doesn't charge that way.
You know, well I can. You have to set it up to do that though. Okay. Like you just have to tell it, like not to go to sleep or whatever.
Um, and some of the ports will stay awake. That's like a thing.
Okay. Honestly, I would keep the other one.
Just because this has to plug into maybe somewhere inconvenient,
and you probably just want it all on the nightstand. Yeah.
Okay, so why should I return this one? This is capable of doing what you're asking though.
So in the same way, it can do up to 140 watts here to your laptop,
and then go off to like a type C hub here and charge a bunch of stuff, and then do USB-A through this.
But I'd say the other one is the more functional one, the more potent one.
Okay, but it's also bigger and heavier. So if it's like, I take these versus that.
But it's bigger and heavier on your nightstand. Okay. This has to be like on the wall somewhere, and like it's really bulky,
so sometimes there might be a piece of furniture in front of it or whatever, and that's not convenient.
I would use the other one. Okay. These you really don't need.
No, I need one for my laptop. Yeah, I have one downstairs you can have.
Okay, you gotta show me this room with all this stuff. I wouldn't have bought a bunch of these things if I had no.
It's the mechanical room. It is a mess in there, I don't know.
It's not a mess, it's very tight. David, mess?
Bosses. I can't.
Okay, maybe it's not a mess, maybe it's organized, but I don't understand your organization system.
Are things labeled? Yeah, actually.
Okay, you know what? Let's go see it. Okay, you know what? Let's...
I think maybe it's because I don't know what things are. Like I wouldn't know what to call this.
USB hub. Like now that I've seen it, I know. That's just like before.
If I were to just find one of those, I don't think I would know what it is.
Okay. Oh, you know what? That makes way more sense.
I forgot I asked for this. I wanted a charging home base for my computer,
or for my laptop, so I think that's what this is, and I think that is for travel.
It's all coming back to me now. Thanks, Celine.
Here you go. Thanks. Okay, we'll cable manage this after.
I'm gonna need your help with that.
Oh, perfect. It actually comes with the cable that I was suggesting. This is a 240 watt rated cable from Ugreen,
and you know what? That's a little bit on the short side.
Do you want the 3 meter one for on the go? Just in case you're...
Well, no, it's not gonna be on the go. Remember? Sorry, it's been a really long time, so I couldn't remember exactly,
but I remember now. This is supposed to be for my home base laptop charging,
so that I don't have to unplug and plug in the laptop
and charger every single time when I need to go out. So that can just live in my backpack,
and then this can live here. Oh. It's just for convenience.
Okay. So... Wait, the big one lives in your backpack?
No. Okay, that one's for travel. Well, whichever, it doesn't matter. Okay, so then my question is,
how long of a thing do you want on this? That depends. Is this one going in my backpack?
That goes in your backpack. Okay. Then not that one.
No, yeah, it should be long. Long one.
All right, I will put this away. Okay. Are you grabbing my laptop or...
Oh, wait. Should we... You're hilarious, Vaughn.
There's no pocket. I know, because this is the prototype right now. Yeah.
And it also doesn't have the handle, but it will all come later. This is very exciting.
This is the upcoming smaller version of the backpack
for smaller people.
Yes. It'll have an external water bottle holder somewhere,
probably on this other side, and it'll have all the same, you know, pockets and whatnot,
but this is just to try to get the strap placement right.
It's taking some time, because getting the nice...
Oh, yeah, what? Oh, I was going to say, apparently my shoulders are not very normal.
They're like super sloped. Yeah. So trying to make it more comfortable for everybody.
While also still making it... I went to grab the handles on there. Yeah.
While also making it still comfortable for larger people.
So we're trying. It does look kind of comically small on bigger people though.
Yeah, but you're not big enough for it to look comically small.
Like that looks, that looks fine. I think it looks clean. I like it.
Oh, it's going to have pockets and stuff.
Anyway, you're ready. You've got your charger in there now.
Oh, okay. That's a heavy laptop.
We'll work on that. We'll work on that.
Yeah. The speaker stands. And... Why are you twos from Kanto?
I'm told these are the speakers to get.
I don't know. I just wanted something that was slim.
Yeah, it's just I keep seeing these. So I'm like, you too?
Okay.
We're definitely keeping these. Miss, I never buy you anything.
Okay. Yes, you did buy me that. Thank you. She was opening a coconut with like, I think this one or something.
Yeah, it worked. It was fine. What's the problem?
It's freaking dangerous. It doesn't have any weight. You were like, you were hacking at it for like 10 minutes.
Hacking at it with that versus hacking at it with this. Like really, you're still hacking at it.
Yeah, but it's controlled hack. No. How is it controlled?
It's the same. Yes.
Maybe not the way I am. I am completely right.
We're placing this one. This one's been melted. This is still perfectly...
Yeah, I know. I'm really tempted to keep it. I know. No, one in, one out.
No, I think I could fix this. Are you going to waste your time fixing a $3 thing?
Actually, it was $7 for this new one. I really think this might actually be worth the time
because then we'll have two of these. More fire.
Okay, ready? Here we go. Please make sure it's going in the right way.
Oh, you did it backwards. I didn't.
Nice. Worth it. We put this here when we were mocking up furniture ideas for this room.
Four months ago. Yeah. The cat loves it.
She hangs out in here and she rips up little tissues. Okay, I did get new ones though,
but I made sure that they could be ones that she could go in. Oh, nice. Okay, cool.
Where are the nuts? Oh.
They're embedded in the table.
Oh, I thought you were going to say there's no nuts. I did. I was like, the thing's not married.
But I was going to show you my D brand skin.
It matches my car, doesn't it? Did I spoil the punchline?
Yes. Okay. Well, here's an art.
Yeah, that's coming in, but my purse is missing.
I don't know what to tell you. I cleared everything out of the van that you told me to clear.
I'll just send them a message because there's the D brand skin for my phone
and then the purse. And maybe we'll find some other stuff that's missing. I don't know.
We'll bring this in though. They're supposed to be two because this wall is just really big.
Okay. You say they're supposed to be two, but there are two.
Yes, yes. There's going to be two on the wall. There's going to be two.
There are two. They are going on the wall. To tie it in a little bit better.
I was thinking of adding some color. Oh, you're just going to like add to them?
Yeah, I was thinking about it. That is a very Yvonne thing to do.
And then the next big Yvonne thing to do is to be like, I hate it and paint over it in white
and then immediately regret it and wish you hadn't painted over it.
That is the classic Yvonne cycle. I've only done that once.
You've done that so much more than one time. It was just once. It was just with the hummingbirds.
Thank you. Some people are nice and helpful.
I'm nice and helpful. You are not nice.
I'm nice. Or helpful right now. Well, yeah, but what I am is supportive.
How are you supportive? I'm supportive of that. You're judging.
You're standing here and judging. No, I'm judging that you can do it.
Remember I said you could do it? Uh-huh. Are you doing it?
Remember the whole tone thing? Yeah, yeah, but like it's like, it's like,
yeah, you can do it. You know, like positive supportive tone.
That did not sound positive or supportive. That sounded condescending and dickish.
We're also supposed to decorate my wall. Oh yeah? Yeah.
You better get started on that then. Okay.
Do you want to see my beautiful wall mirror? I mean, uh, kind of.
Which means? Okay, what'd you get?
No, no, I really want to see it. I'd also like you to tell me about it.
It's tropical flowers and leaves.
Wow. Tell me more.
So mean. What? I take an interest in everything you do.
The least you could do is take an interest in stuff that I do. Which is why you've absorbed so much over the years.
Like which USB, like which USB cable is going to wear?
I can build a computer.
I built the last one.
David, does that look weird with this big leaf here? I think it's already into the wrong way.
I'm having kind of all down. Yeah. Okay.
Like that. Oh, okay.
I know, you're good. I think that's one you could get away with having a little lower too if you wanted to
have stuff go down because it doesn't have a stem. Oh, it does.
I just, it's right there.
Okay. The only thing is where is the shelf going? That's, where was the height of the shelf?
Over here. Over there? Okay.
Man, it's getting warm here. Sly, way over there.
You're going to move my shelf, aren't you?
Question for you. How much weight were you planning to have this bear?
Not very much. You sure? Yeah. You're sure?
Yeah. How sure are you? It's just going to have decorative stuff on it.
Okay. How heavy is your decorative stuff? Not very heavy. It's fine.
Why, what's up? Well, because you can't have very heavy decorative stuff on it.
That's fine. Okay. Okay. All right.
And if there was, if I was to err on one side,
would you want it a little more left or a little more right?
Left. Really? No.
Well, just pick one. Um, yeah, because otherwise you can't see the photos.
Okay. So that's kind of the theme now.
I do not intend to use it that way.
Oh, that was, that was all the packing material.
I was like, I'm going to stab this thing to lift it up and instead I stabbed the thing.
Did you break it? This thing looks like the cheapest crap ever.
Yeah. It's very plastic. Okay. I could use help with this, please.
Look, they're all sticking together. Oh no. And I cannot, I cannot.
Okay. I'm coming. Okay. Just, just, uh, okay.
Yep. Dang it. Okay.
Well, wait, I want to stick the, I want to stick the main branch down first.
Oh, what? This one, this one. Okay. Well, and then all the other ones can follow.
I mean, I'm just, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Okay. Okay. That one? Yep.
There we go. Oh, okay.
Okay. Um, that's one thing.
Yeah, I know it's because they, uh,
what's happened? Uh, oh boy.
I don't know. Um, is that what you're doing?
No, yes. Yes. Very, hold on. Okay. Hold on. Okay. You just got to.
We could just cut it. We'll cut it. Uh, okay.
Yes. That actually will work. Okay.
Just follow this line. Yeah. Yeah. That's what I'm going to do. Okay.
Uh, okay. That's the line ish.
You know what? You're doing great. And I hold this one.
Okay. And then that one goes down. Yep. There we go. Oh, okay.
Wow. Hold that one out of the fire. Yeah. This is not going to go down. So you just put something on the shelf
that kind of covers this spot. Yeah.
And you thought we were going to make candles today?
Um, well, not necessarily. So ambitious. Not necessarily today.
Mmm. It's just...
Sorry? For this one? It's beeswax.
Oh. That's cool. Oh, you... I never make it cool. Oh, you've never seen like beeswax before?
Oh, this is what beeswax looks like. It smells like beeswax.
Oh. So there's beeswax and then paraffin wax.
And what you do is if you're a cheapskate... Hi.
You mix them. Also, paraffin is much better for taking up scent and color.
Oh. So you can do beeswax candles, or you can do paraffin candles,
or you can like mix them up. And there's all kinds of different kind of fun things you can do.
Oh, you went to Wixenwax. Cool store.
I've been there before.
Really vanilla though? Sorry? I didn't pick it.
I just sent somebody to go help get that. Yeah. You sent someone boring.
You get sandalwood. Vanilla and lavender.
Who picked this? You can shame them.
Alvin.
Where's my candle making stuff?
It's okay. We'll just use my stuff from last time.
Check this out. My daughter helps me pick these.
Oh. What's that? Try to guess.
It's a Christmas speaker. Pumpkin pie. Oh, pumpkin pie, yeah.
You got the season right. Yeah, but I've been since the smell. Okay, hold on.
Try again.
It's like, I don't know, I have such a bad sense of smell.
Do you try? As soon as you say it, I'll be like, oh.
Oh, that's, um, sorry. All your clothing.
Oh, that's, uh, is it like that? Apple pie. Apple pie.
Apple pie, yeah, yeah, yeah. And then we've got, oh, no, this is funny.
Muddy?
Is that like linen or something? This one's called Christmas memories. So you kind of guessed it the first time.
Anyway, these are much more fun sense. This stuff's really fun.
Parasand? It's, you do sand art in a jar.
Like, you know, the layers of sand art, but it's paraffin wax.
So you just take one of these freestanding wicks,
just tack it down into the bottom. You pour the sand and then you have a burnable sand art can.
Yeah, it's really cool. And the way it burns is really cool too.
So it kind of goes layer by layer and then like oozes into the one below it.
Yeah, this is definitely happening another day though. Yeah, that's fine.
So ambitious lady. You don't have that much other stuff.
I didn't say that we had to do it today.
Man, Vaughn. What? You really do suck at spending money.
I'm sorry. I mean, I don't care.
It's fine. But just like, wow.
You know, I would have thought you'd like appreciate that.
Return pile. Would you rather a wife that spends all your money?
Our money. Our money. Yes. And no.
Okay, then don't complain. What am I looking at here?
I don't know, but I got more birds. Oh, I'm looking at more birds.
Oh, wow. I mean, yeah.
Since when do you buy pointless crap like this? Dennis bought that one.
Wow. He told me I should get that one.
But look at this. Remember how much money we spent to get all the gold accents out of our house?
I know, right? Okay. Okay, look.
So cute. That one's very cute. Should this go in the return pile though?
It fits. That actually does look pretty good. But I had intended for these birds to go up there.
Make it up. Yeah. No, that's not a bird.
That's also a Dennis. Dennis purchased this.
Oh, good.
Okay. So Dennis thought these things actually replaced some of the stuff in that shelf over there
because he didn't like the way he decorated it.
In here? No, no. I'll show you after. I want my notes.
Wow, it makes your eyes go funny. Yeah. I hate that.
You know, it's easy to criticize, but if it hadn't been for me doing this,
it would have been empty for the last nine months.
Well, no, it'll be better. So let's not worry about that.
Where do you want the rhino? Okay, I don't know about the rhino.
The rhino is... I think we need to stop trusting Dennis.
Yeah, the rhino is... Dennis thinks a big gouge in your floor
is really, you know, adding something to the space. You know, I know. From what I can tell.
Honestly, honestly, I would turn the RGB off.
Yeah, I don't like your... This is like too classy to have RGB all up in its business.
Yeah, can you turn it off? Can you turn it off? Uh, I don't know how.
What? You're the tech tips guy. Yeah, I know that. Where's my tech tip?
I'll give it to you later.
How do you like the keyboard?
It's okay. Sell it to me more.
It's... I don't know. Like, I'm used to so much more pressure to push on it.
It feels soft in some ways.
But I like how quiet it is, because my one at work is really loud.
I don't know why. What's up? I like how it looks.
It matches my wall stickers and my flowers.
Is that acceptable? No, anything's acceptable.
It's whatever you think.
The way you're cabling that, am I going to be able to lift my desk?
No. Okay, just check. I mean, maybe a little.
I do stand. When is this one do you ever stand here? I don't think I've ever seen you stand at this desk.
That's true, I haven't.
Yeah. Hey! Daughter! You're in a very vulnerable spot.
Daughter! You don't want to damage the goods.
They're already damaged. Well, yeah, but in a good way.
I think I sold Dennis on this liquidation place. Oh, yeah?
Yeah. I had this liquidation shop or whatever it's called.
Oh yeah, it's so cheap.
I remember this time we went furniture shopping and we saw rugs for like $40,000.
Oh my gosh. And I'm just like, you mean $140?
Like, no, not a...
Okay. Okay. You're definitely going to need some of those
non-skiz, yeah. Okay, but what do you think of the color and everything?
Does it match? Sure, yeah.
I have helped lots today. Yeah, because I had to convince somebody
to film a video with you in order for you to help. No, I would have helped.
If I help with things.
I built that shelf.
In fact, I built all of them. No, you didn't. I built one of those. I built two of them.
Okay. I built more than you built. And I built that shelf.
No, I did. And I built those.
I can't remember anymore. And I built that cat tree.
And I carpeted it. Oh, Dennis did like nothing. Oh, really?
Oh, yeah. That's the way he tells it. That was for a video too.
Uh, no, no, I was doing it anyway. I didn't even know there was a video.
All right, but that's for the cat, not me.
For your room. Okay, um.
I booked that photographer. I actually, no, you didn't.
No, you probably booked the photographer. I had the idea of booking that photographer.
Um, I actually, wait, wait, wait, wait. Before you do that, I don't know if I like this rug.
Okay, I'm not going to be responsible for putting another thing in the return pile.
Um, I don't know. Is this the colors that we're trying to figure out
if they jive? Yeah, I think it's.
Do they jive or are they turkey? Turkey, is that in you?
It's just, no, it's just. Okay. It's like, it's like 60s, like maybe even like 70s.
Yeah, jive turkey, it's like. Okay, can you just put the chair up?
Because you would never have the chair like that. I mean, yeah.
Man, the Floatplane exclusive for this is going to be long.
Long and veiny.
What? I'll see you over there, Floatplane.com.
Veiny? Yeah, veiny. Like look how many veins are in my arms.
Okay, we're cut. Step. Okay, wait, wait, wait.
I'll turn the light on. Okay, step, step, step.
Are we going? Okay, where are you putting this?
Oh, oh, this is not a good turn. I don't like this turn.
I thought that she meant down just some of those stairs
into her storage area. What? Okay, stairs.
Oh, okay, geez. Stairs.
Okay. Okay, let's go.
Can we move faster than that? I mean, sorta.
Okay, why aren't you walking directly but me? Because I don't want to go here.
I know where we are now. Okay, all right.
Now we got to get the light. Okay, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Yes.
That's my junk. Really? Like you have a thing of kitty litter.
I mean, yeah. So. Well, you never know when you'll need more kitty litter.
I think if I take that corner where you literally have junk right now.
Literally, I get it. There's more light here.
Okay.
See, if it can just go right in that corner. Well, she said one second, one second. Oh, sorry.
Do you have an issue with the sharpener? It's really bulky.
Yes, but it has all the right. Oh, look, it's got a setting for me and for you.
Yeah.
