Episode #5 - Rapid Bath Dog Washing System!

Finally! The animal-based episode we've been teasing you with for so long! And something to placate our rabid fans! (At least two of them, in the comments.)

It's the Rapid Bath 3-Minute Dog Washing System! As endorsed by Matt Gallant, ex of The Planet's Funniest Animals on Animal Planet! (And who I think is a perfectly dreadful host, but he supports animal stuff, so I'll give him a pass here, but that's not important right now.) Matt's infomercial ran really late one night, when I, Tracy, was in a vulnerable, half-awake state, and when it was done I wanted to test the product.

But I couldn't, at least not right away, because 1) due to my vulnerable, half-awake state I couldn't remember the name of the product the next morning, and when I Googled it I discovered they'd 2) made their damn web site impossible to find! Every search term I could think of wouldn't bring up this specific product. I finally ended up going to Matt's website and freakin' calling his manager to ask what commercial he'd done. (At this point it had become a quest.)

So if you like the product, benefit from my toil and go to www.rapidbathing.com. That's "rapidbathING.com," NOT "rapidbath.com" - rapidbath.com is some kind of home renovation site. Yeesh. The only company in the history of commerce that's hiding from its customers.

But enough of that! On with the video! And cute puppy dogs! Yay!

Episode 4: Ionic White

Well, the postman didn't show up with our originally planned animal-involved product, but we got a great backup. AND, it includes a type of animal testing (technically, Kennedy is an animal, so there).

So, on to the thing!

There's this big movement going on in the U.S., where the population is being told that their teeth needs to be whiter and brighter, for gosh sakes. Personally, I think it's a plot to distract us from real pressing issues like, oh, I dunno, the END OF THE WORLD. But, I digress. Onto our vanity...

IONIC WHITE claims to whiten your choppers in 21 minutes. How does it measure up? Watch and learn, everyone. Watch and learn.

Don't leave, there's more!

Never fear! We're gearing up for another podcast to be recorded this weekend (hopefully, if the mailman cooperates). Which mean the product didn't just come off a shelf at Walgreens this time--it's getting delivered. Which means it might be bigger and even COOLER than previously. Which means you should watch! Especially if you're an animal lover. [/cryptic clue]

See you then!

Edit: D'OH! The mailman didn't come through, and neither did the company I bought the thing from: it's freaking backordered, and they didn't bother to tell me--I had to go look up this fact myself. Oh well. We taped Kennedy being abused by something else instead, which will soon be up. But the mail-ordered-animal-lovers' thing will get done sometime!

Episode 3: Listen Up!

Who among us didn't watch The Bionic Woman as a child and wish for Jamie Sommers' bionic hearing? (My brain: Anyone who's not ancient like you. Me: Quiet, you. Brain: Oh yeah, you really want me to shut down and quit talking to you. Great idea. Me: Well, you gave it to me. Brain: ... )

Anyway, for those who count supersonic hearing among their secret wishes, the Listen Up! Personal Amplification Device claims to "turn ordinary hearing into extraordinary hearing!" Does it live up to those claims? Click to find out!



Edited to add: Yes, yes, my zipper was down while I was sitting on the couch. Obviously, I didn't realize it till we were done. Our wardrobe person will be fired...as soon as we get one.

Episode 2: The Ultimate Scrubber!

As promised, here's our next episode! We examine the Ultimate Scrubber. How well does it scrub? See for yourself!



NOTE TO OUR VIEWERS: Being big fancy jet-setters and all, Tracy will be in Europe and Kennedy is going to New York, so we won't be making a new episode until at least mid-July. But until then, let us know what you think we should test next!

Our next product...

Just a teaser, but our next product is BATTERY OPERATED. With MOVING PARTS. Intrigued? You should be.

By the way, if you have any suggestions for products, let us know. It should be something we can test and actually show results in a reasonable amount of time (look, regardless of how this looks, we do have lives, and can only devote so much time to these things. But for you, maybe we'll squeeze in a little more time).

Our First Episode!

Hello, and welcome to our new podcast--you're here for the inaugural episode! So someday when we're as famous as Paris Hilton (and for only slightly more reason), you can say you were a fan of our early stuff, before we sold out.

So let's get to it! We kick things off by testing out The Hercules Hook! What will it hang? What won't it hang? See for yourself!
