Apple's new $80 "smart" RBG water bottle

So now you can get smart water bottles

The Hydrate Spark Pro Steel smart water bottle, and it's a vacuum-insulated 32-ounce water bottle

This is what I like. It's got two different kind of lids, one for chugging and one for straw

Oh, I miss that. If you want to use a straw, an LED puck in the base that lights up

and customize what colors and patterns to remind you to drink water throughout the day

And it, It sends your atoms exasperated. It censions your water consumption and transmits data via Bluetooth to your phone and the Apple Health app

So it's health kit enabled. To be honest, I started thinking about this

Maybe not the absolute worst idea because I have had, I woke up one day last week

That's such a headache. And it wasn't the COVID. It was like, I realized I did not drink any water

It was actually, it was kind of the COVID. because I wasn't going outside of this, my room, right

Yeah, absolutely isolating. But I realized, like, I had a freaking headache

like I had, you know, drunk a bottle of whiskey the night before or something. It's just because I didn't drink any water

And also, I've also, I've noticed every now and then, I just realize I'm not drinking enough water

And not too long after that, you know what happened? Kidney Stone. So drinking water is a great thing to do

and I don't think it's the worst idea to have something that reminds you, hey, quit typing and get something to drink

Now, do you need to pay $80 for a Bluetooth connected? I don't know. It is a little nuts

But after that, after that dry morning, I started going, geez, maybe I need one of these

Okay, you took this in a completely different direction than I thought. I thought we were all going to sit here and make fun of this damn thing

I mean, I just, it's just such a commentary on where we are as a cold

that we need a bottle with RGB lighting at the bottom that's HomeKit connected

that reminds you to take a sip of water. It's like where are we, what's happened to us as a culture

This is something that we actually need now. It's like everything has to be smart

smart this, Bluetooth connected. Remember the Bluetooth fork that was at CES

that would like buzz if your bites are too big? I mean, I'm like

Oh, give me a break. Exactly. How much more superfluous can it get

And that was what I thought when I saw this. I was like, are we really so inept as a culture that we can't even remember when to drink water now

And we need a bottle with RGB lighting. Now, look, no one's a bigger fan of RGB lighting than me

And that's actually one of the reasons why I would probably want to get something like this. And then it connects to HomeKit and it will monitor your..

It's not HomeKit. It's HomeKit, yeah. Come on. The Smart means, yeah, it's probably connected to your smart

Come on. It's HomeKit. Yeah, it's HomeKit. Or I guess Health Kit. Have you had me water today, Lewis

Are you seeing parts to lose? If it worked with HomeKit, it could blink the lights in your house

Well, it may be it can. Maybe it does. Now you've made me want to, like, figure it out

I can't believe that it's home kit. Yeah, I'm sorry. Well, yeah, it's probably Health Kit, and it connects with the Apple Health app, is what I was trying to say

And so it monitors, like, how many swigs that you've, you know, had throughout the day

And to me it just seems kind of super powerful It like can we not remember to take a sip of water throughout the day I like you know I have my pond my pond water here that you guys often see me drinking This is my homemade probiotic water Adam

Jeez, you need to put some LED lights underneath that. So it lights up a different color over than that

You guys, you see the floating around in there. Algae green. Oh my God. Minerals

It's minerals, exactly. I mean, I do have thoughts on this, though. Okay

Like, I'm sure you is health conscious. I have thoughts on this. Well, for one thing

I've had apps, for instance, you know, that monitor water, make sure to drink water and stuff like that

You know, because I have an Apple Watch and I want something fun to do with it, right? So, and what I found, what I discovered is that there's actually a little bit of a risk in these apps, and it's actually not a joke, funny enough

A lot of these products or apps that promote drinking water aren't taking into account your personal health

I mean, you just went loose. You were just saying you went through kidney stones. That's not a joke, right

No, yeah. But, kicky stones. Oh, no, no, no, no. No, that's not a joke at all

It's a horrible pain. You basically experienced childbirth. So congratulations on your, on your new little one in your family

I'm like so paranoid. I'm going to get one of those. And every time I hear you got, I hear you talk about it

It just gives me PTSD. Okay. Yeah. Okay. Well, there's a lot more to, well, for instance, number one is over drinking water is something that these apps do

And it was telling me it'd have to have like a, you know, five liters of water day. That's dangerous

That's like a... You're depleting, you're rinsing yourself out too much. So you're depleting

You can get very quickly get what's called hypovitamosis. You're actually draining out all the minerals and vitamins from your body

Your body doesn't have a chance to absorb it. So that's too much water. So anybody who's big in the health is going to tell you drink when you're thirsty, but do drink

But don't have that six liters a day. That's preposterous. That's unhealthy drinking, right

So no, it's not good for your body to do that at all, to drink too much. But it is important to drink

The other thing, too, is, you know, a kidney stone might be really

it might be because maybe you're getting too much vitamin D. That causes your body to absorb too much calcium

If you're drinking too much, if you're getting kidney stones, try to avoid too much dairy and cheese because that's where it's usually a calcium

Oh, there you go. I'm not willing to make any life choices to avoid them

I mean, they're just, yeah. And if you're going to drink water, put some lemon in your water

You know, maybe, maybe our fun has a point there with his, with this pond water because, you know

you put a little bit of lemon water that dissolves kidney stones. Really? Right? Yeah, you know, that's funny you mentioned that because after my first bout with one

I became very aware of how much water I was drinking, and I started putting lemon juice, you know, squeezing a little bit of lemon there

And I've stopped that recently. You know, that's the thing. Like, every time I realize, you know, I haven't been drinking that much water

It's like everything else. You know, oh, geez, stop paying attention, and then the next thing you know, you pay a price

Mother Nature is a very good teacher, isn't it? Relentless. Yeah, no, for sure, no

But yeah, if it's monitoring, if it's taking into account your body weight, your age, your current health, and it's monitoring it based off that, yeah, okay, maybe we've got something going

Maybe it'll help to regulate a good water intake. But if it's just telling you drink every five minutes, I don't agree with that

I think that's sloppy technology, right? Well, I don't know how these particular water bottles work

I mean, they certainly are expensive. I mean this one is And I don know the I don know how it informs you of your of your water intake like what it basing that off of

I mean, the fact that it has a chug top, maybe, uh, maybe indicative of science behind

the bottle. He comes on and goes, do it. Do it. Yeah, chug, chug, chug

Come on, you whim. What are you waiting for? Come on. It wants you to drink like eight bottles a day

But, um, yeah. He says it's clinically proven accuracy within 3% of manual readings to the Mayo Clinic trial

Wow. Okay. That's crazy. That's crazy. I'm going to try and get a hold of one of these things

Yeah, I'm coming full circle on this too. But then what science is used to? The Mayo Clinic with a grain of salt sometimes

It's not always the best advice. Sometimes it's a little bit outdated, yeah. Yeah, I mean, prescribe a lot more mayonnaise than you should eat

Yes. Yes. And I love mayonnaise, too. Yeah. Yeah. I didn't get that

Get that up either. Yeah. Yeah. And we got dipsy-doo in the chat saying

pretty sure it's supposed to be half your body weight is how many ounces you should drink

Well, see, that's the thing. It's like there's all these like rules out there

And you're like, I don't know if this is true. You know. 90 pounds of water a day

Good God. Oh, well, it'd be 90 ounces of water a day, right

So that would be, yeah, it's an ounce. It's half your body weight and ounces every day

In ounces. Okay. Yeah. You know, there's, I don't know if you guys ever used

I know I've talked about this on the show for it. There's an app called Lose It, and you use it to check how much

how much, it has a water tracking capability in it, which I bet you you can plug this thing into it

and that'll just get automatically filled so you don't have to like, I never keep track of how much water I drink because, you know, I don't know

you don't have an $8 water model, right? Exactly. It is kind of fun sometimes to use these things to get a, you know, what we're always talking about with Apple Watch is that it doesn't necessarily, you know, it's not a medical device, but what it does is it says, hey, you perhaps ought to do this

You know, this particular lifestyle change might make you a little healthier

I mean, I mentioned I've had the COVID for a couple weeks, right

So I wasn't exercising. I stand in a house more than usual

I got a little notification the other day. It says, hey, we've noticed a trend

You're not walking as much as normal. That kind of stuff is pretty powerful

And it made me immediately go, yeah, that's absolutely right. I got to, like, if I'm not exercising, I need to at least, you know, walk up to the corner store rather than driving once

And so I don't know. And infect everyone? And infect your whole neighborhood

Well, okay, maybe not the story. I'm clear now. clear. I don't know

I'm doing this for my health. My Applewives told me I need to come in here and walk

Yeah. I'll tell you what you're saying about the Lusit app. I mean, I was somebody who's always into fitness and I ate healthy

in quotes. I never ever counted a calorie in my life. Yeah. And then at a certain point

one of my friends Tyler, a fellow artist, he'd said, no, I'm using this app and he was in super good shape

I was like, what the hell happened to you? He's like, ripped, right? So what the hell did you do? And he goes, oh, I just started using this calorie app

And I went okay And what cool about these apps and what could potentially be interesting about this LED this Corsair IQ one bottle

Mystic light support, yeah. It's making you conscious. You're aware of what you do because when you're not paying attention

you'll have, you know, you'll have a sandwich with six tablespoons of mayonnaise

You're not realizing you just consume 9,000 calories. Yeah. Because mayonnaise is high in calorie

So I went, oh my God, I put mayonnaise in everything. I'm sitting, why am I getting so plumpy

And I'm sitting there, you know, scooping nanny down my throat. So you kind of become, you become more aware of your actions

My girlfriend's laughing. Exactly. You become more aware of your actions. You become more conscious of your water consumption and not going to

I feel like, oh, geez, I'm not even close to how much I really ought to be drinking every day

Yeah. Or, geez, what I always found with Luzit, it's such just like what you're saying

It's very educational kind of thing. And you, like, realize, wow, you know, just having, like, one extra piece of bread with my dinner is like, oh, you know, that you would have to work out for two hours to burn that off

Oh, yeah. And you're like, wow, that's interesting. And, I mean, I lost a lot of weight with that thing

Yeah. It does work. Absolutely. It trains you to make better choices

Yeah. Is what it does. I even stopped using it at a certain point

but I kept being aware of the calorie content of what I was eating

Exactly. So it educated me on what I was actually, what actual calories I was putting in my body at that point

And I mean, I've gone on and off and on and off of it, depending on how much I start to kind of slip at a certain point

Yeah, no, I think it's a smart move for sure, yeah. Yeah, the Apple Watch has become an integral part of my life

And one of the things I love about it is the fact that it knows how many calories that I've burned during my workouts, right

And it does really make you aware. Like when you just spent an hour working out and it was a tough workout and you're like

I only burned like 400 calories. And then you look at the food that you're eating

I mean, you can make up 400 calories in 15 minutes. I mean, 10 minutes

You're done. One Joe Louie. Exactly. I mean, if you eat mayonnaise at the jar like Adam does, that's like three or four minutes of calorie intake

I baited. I'm like a fish. I consume it through my gills and I excrete it at the back

Yeah. I just use that to control myself through the ocean of mayonnaise. You are a mannays fan that's the most extreme mannays fan of I've heard of, to be honest with you

I'd be dead if I did that. It's also very expensive. I mean, to fill your whole bathtub with mayonnaise

I heard the Rolling Stones used to do that for their parties and they spent thousands of dollars on that anyway

Oh, yeah, they don't mess around. All right, let's wrap up with our water bottle talk

I was expecting us to clown on this and now you guys have convinced me that maybe I should be purchasing one of these

Yeah. And it tells you, within. 3% of, you know, of how much

your water you're actually intaking. Look at that. It has an Apple Watch app as well

You know, the crazy thing is this dang water bottle was like one of the most popular stories on Reddit

this week and last week. Oh yeah? And I was like, this is crazy. Like, do people

actually get excited about a bottle like this? Because it just seems completely unnecessary

Anyway, I digress. We're going on and on. The story's over. I'm kicking it
