Are we willing to do a blind ranking? Um for nugs? Let's go. Alright. You guys know how to do it?
unknownYep.
SPEAKER_03So you like them without knowing what comes next to you? Let's see. Alright, so number one, Chick-fil-A out of five. Five.

SPEAKER_03Yeah, I saw that. It was really intense.
SPEAKER_01As well as Derek Darion Peterson not getting any fouls.
unknownI know.
SPEAKER_01As well as Cameron Boozer, uh I don't think Caden Boozer is as good as Cameron Boozer, because he just doesn't have the right skill skill set as Cam Cameron Boozer.

SPEAKER_01And uh I'm excited for the next next games that that will come come on this evening Stakewallet, why? Stay uh and this is uh the the mad madness guys and rr remember stay co wallet.
SPEAKER_03This is real or ridiculous, and people will be reviewing life hacks and seeing if they are real or ridiculous. Gunnar, do you want to show your life hack first or should I show mine first? You should show yours first. Okay. So this is our life hack, and it is about salt. It looks like it starts with someone pouring salt into a drain and then hydrogen peroxide into the drain. Then they wash it out with water, and the sink is clean. The next life hack is a broken key in a keyhole, then they put salt on it, and they use a knife and put the key, and the key comes out easily. And and in the last life hack they put wax on an iron and then they put some salt on the iron, and the iron is clean. There we go, okay. Gunner, do you want to? Okay.
SPEAKER_04I have to watch it? Yeah. Oh, okay. My bad. Okay. I'm watching it.
SPEAKER_03Okay, Gunner, do you think this is real or ridiculous?
SPEAKER_04I think it's ridiculous. Why do you think it's ridiculous, Gunner?
SPEAKER_03It just doesn't seem real. Yeah, that's what I thought too. Especially on the last one. They just put the iron on the salt and then it was magically clean. That seems pretty dumb.
SPEAKER_04Well they put wax on it, then they um then they um put salt on a paper towel and then they rubbed it together, and then um it was clean.
SPEAKER_03That seems kind of dumb. Okay, Gunnar, should we see yours now? Yes, okay.
SPEAKER_04Um, so our video is about toothpaste. When you take the toothpaste and poke small small holes in it, then you put it in the tank of the toilet, it cleans the toilet.
SPEAKER_03That seems uh dumb. That does what?
SPEAKER_02It seems kind of real. Just a little bit.
SPEAKER_03So you put toothpaste, you poke holes with a pin in the toothpaste, and then you put it in like the tank of the toilet. Yeah.
SPEAKER_04And then you clean you flush the toilet and the toilet's clean. Uh I would never do that with toothpaste. That seems pretty dumb. It's a waste of toothpaste.
SPEAKER_03Yeah. And I feel like it might clog my toilet.
unknownYeah.
SPEAKER_03Or will like mess it up. Did you watch the video?
SPEAKER_04Yes. Do you think it's real or ridiculous? I think that is very ridiculous. It's real.
SPEAKER_02It's real?

SPEAKER_02Did you I think it's real gunner?
SPEAKER_04It's real.

SPEAKER_04Did you test it?
SPEAKER_02Do you have proof that it's real? It's real. It's ridiculous.
SPEAKER_03Do you have proof that it's real gunner? Hold up. No. Okay, so it's not AI Gunner, hold up. But they could have just made smooth cuts.
SPEAKER_02Like it's ridiculous. It's real. Ridiculous.
SPEAKER_03Okay. Have you tested it, Gunner? Tell me. Yeah.
SPEAKER_02Then you're capping.
SPEAKER_03Okay. Well, Gunnar says it's real, so I guess it's real then.
SPEAKER_02No, it's realistic.
SPEAKER_03Realistic? I mean.
SPEAKER_02Ridiculous.
SPEAKER_00I mean, how do you know it's real? Yeah, gonna be real is what they're asking.
SPEAKER_04I'm big brain.
SPEAKER_00So because you have a big brain, it's real.
SPEAKER_04Correct.
SPEAKER_01No.
SPEAKER_00This this I don't understand that logic. What are you doing? Like, what are you like what are you looking it up?
SPEAKER_03He's trying to find out if it's AI.
SPEAKER_00Move on to the next part. Move on to the next part.
SPEAKER_03Okay. That was real or ridiculous. And hopefully.
SPEAKER_00He's still looking it up. This segment doesn't make any sense. He doesn't even know if it's real. He said ridiculous.
SPEAKER_03Didn't you guys research this? I told Gunnar.
unknownOkay.
SPEAKER_03Okay. Okay, well, that was real or ridiculous. And we're not done yet to see if toothpaste are clean and polished a toilet bowl due to its um.

SPEAKER_00I mean, I I guess.
SPEAKER_03Would you use this in real life? No. No.
SPEAKER_00I mean, no.
SPEAKER_02Exactly, so it's ridiculous.
SPEAKER_00Toothpaste is expensive.
unknownIt is.
SPEAKER_04But it's still real because it works.
SPEAKER_00Okay, that can be it can be real, but it can also be ridiculous.
SPEAKER_03Why would you why would you use why would you do this?
SPEAKER_02Exactly. No one would do that.
SPEAKER_03And you just I'll do it when I get home. Mr. Martin, of course you would. Look how dumb this looks.
SPEAKER_00Is this a real video?
SPEAKER_03Yes.
SPEAKER_00So wait a minute, so you're just poking into the pin.
SPEAKER_03Into the pin. And then you throw it in your toilet. And then you flush it.
SPEAKER_00But why?
