Speaker C:Now when you're looking at televisions out there, there's some really crazy stuff out there as far as big sales.
Speaker C:Big sales.
Speaker C:Like they got a Toshiba 50 inch class C350 series LED 4K smart fire TV.
Speaker C:This thing, 4K 149 bucks for a 50 inch off.
Speaker C:That is a ridiculous number on there.
Speaker C:So take a look at the TVs, electronics, that kind of stuff.
Speaker C:You're gonna see a lot of that stuff popping up today.
Speaker C:Now the other one here that I think is really cool is there are a ton of things in here that I think are handy.
Speaker C:Now you've got Blackstones out There you've got all these different electronics, like cameras for your, for your meetings and things like that for that, how that goes.
Speaker C:One of the things that I do love in here, Gerber really close here they've got their multi gear, their dime.

Speaker C:Super excited.
Speaker C:Last year for me I was kind of like eh, that's okay.
Speaker C:But there's a ton of stuff out there.
Speaker C:Now the other thing I want to talk about is there's a few things for RVs out there too.
Speaker C:There's a lot of RV stuff out there.
Speaker C:They have a really cool product out there, Camco Camper Easy Level.
Speaker C:Which is their, basically it's their leveling system.
Speaker C:So you just put it down and as soon as it gets everything level, all the lights go out and it says that you're great now.
Speaker C:And it has, it's kind of like a little square thing.
Speaker C:So if there's no light, nothing's level.
Speaker C:If you've got a low side that's red, if it's level it's green.
Speaker C:And so you can just basically put it out there and you can just watch the, the lights to see where it is, which is kind of cool.
Speaker C:Big sale, limited time offer 37.99 for all you guys.
Speaker C:This weekend they're gonna be trying to level out that, that trailer.
Speaker C:Take a look at it.
Speaker C:It's a good way to go.
Speaker C:Lots of sales like that, lots of great stuff and you can save some serious money on prime day.
Speaker C:Here's another new product that I think is super cool.
Speaker C:This is a cellular temperature monitor.
Speaker C:So this is remote power failure alarm and humidity sensor with unlimited alerts, temp monitoring system.
Speaker C:This is for RV pet safety, vacation home, server room, no fees or wi fi required.
Speaker C:49 Bucks.
Speaker C:So what this does is you mount this in and it has got a built in SIM with data.
Speaker C:So it's basically using the cell network out there ready to go out of the box.
Speaker C:It will monitor your temperature.
Speaker C:You could set alerts when temperatures rise or fall.
Speaker C:If humidity is high that will tell you that you might have a mold issue.
Speaker C:And if power is lost and restored it will tell you that.
Speaker C:So that uses 4G LTE cellular connectivity which is cool.
Speaker C:So it will operate during power outages as well.
Speaker C:So you can get emergency alerts.
Speaker C:This is something for your rv.
Speaker C:This is something for your Outbuildings.
Speaker C:This is something for your vacation home and for 149 bucks.
Speaker C:That is a really great deal right there.
Speaker C:So anything you can do to get yourself some more information when you're away from it?
Speaker C:I think it's really smart for people to put their RVs in storage places that aren't next to their home.
Speaker C:You can really keep an idea of what's going on.
Speaker C:And that one is super trick and I'm impressed.
Speaker C:From Nectco.
Speaker C:N E C T O Neat stuff, guys.
Speaker A:All right.
Speaker C:We got a great show coming up this weekend I can't wait to tell you about.
Speaker C:We've got a lot going on.
Speaker C:This is going to be a fun show coming up.
Speaker C:We're going to be diving into hardwood flooring.
Speaker C:We haven't really done a specific hardwood flooring episode for a long time.
Speaker C:I can't even think of the last time we did it.
Speaker C:So we're going to be diving into that.
Speaker C:That's going to be a fun one.
Speaker C:As well as we'll be talking to our friends over at Evolve Stone.
Speaker C:So we've got a lot going on this weekend.
Speaker C:Evolve Stone.
Speaker C:We're going to be celebrating them because they are Made in usa.
Speaker C:They're made in just.
Speaker C:I love that these guys are east coast based and it's something that we'll talk about it.
Speaker C:It's going to be part of our upcoming series which is our made in America 250 where we're celebrating all these people out there, these companies, whether small or big, that are making stuff right here in the usa.
Speaker C:So you guys can have some choices of.
Speaker B:Wow.
Speaker C:Do I want to deal with tariffs?
Speaker C:Is transportation an issue?
Speaker C:Don't worry.
Speaker C:This stuff is coming from home and we can get you lined up with all these Made in America manufacturers.
Speaker C:All right.
Speaker C:There's nothing really big as far as tools and home improvement products that are out on the recall list that I see today.
Speaker C:Lots of baby stuff.
Speaker C:So if you've got a little one around, just make sure that you're checking that.
Speaker C:Cpsc.gov so many things from clothes to toys to dressers to all these things that are of course being recalled.
Speaker C:And I think what's happening with those, to be honest, guys, I think we're seeing this.
Speaker C:What we're seeing is we're seeing all these products that get sold out on online companies that don't meet current US Safety standards and then it gets caught and then they have to recall it.
Speaker C:And I think that's what we're starting to see from some of these products out there that could be pretty dangerous.
Speaker C:So be careful where you're getting stuff from.
Speaker C:It could be a big issue.
