Outlines
π‘ Frustrating Experience with a $30 Baseball Pitching Machine
The script describes a disappointing purchase of a $30 baseball pitching machine found online. The buyer shares a childhood memory of Uncle Ed, who would throw tennis balls at the family after drinking. The machine, unfortunately, reminds the buyer of those days with its poor performance. It fires balls at ankle level and has a low strike zone accuracy. The setup process was also a hassle, with missing batteries and the need to borrow tools. The buyer ends up comparing the machine unfavorably to Uncle Ed's pitching and suggests spending the money elsewhere.
π¦ Mixed Results with a Dual Display Speed Radar Gun and Other Baseball Accessories
The script moves on to a dual display speed radar gun, which the buyer purchased to monitor the speed of cars passing by. It initially works but then shuts off after a few minutes. The buyer also tries it for baseball pitches but finds it inconsistent and unreliable. Other reviewed items include a pair of green batting gloves, which were surprisingly decent, and a speed radar ball that was deemed useless. The buyer also tastes some poorly reviewed sunflower seeds, describing them as flavorless and comparable to bird food.
π Hilarious Struggle with a Complicated and Ineffective Pitching Machine
The narrative continues with the assembly and testing of another pitching machine, which the buyer found overly complicated and time-consuming to set up. The machine was difficult to adjust and did not maintain its settings, leading to frustration. The buyer humorously compares the machine to a 'thing-a-ma-jig' and expresses doubt about its functionality. Despite the challenges, the machine eventually works, albeit inaccurately, and the buyer and his friend have a laugh about it.
π Testing the Durability and Performance of a Controversial Baseball Bat
The script concludes with a review of a controversial baseball bat known as the 'Eastn Hype Fire.' The bat has mixed reviews, with some claiming it breaks easily while others find it excellent. The buyer and his friend, Troy, test the bat's durability and performance. They are surprised by its resilience and the distance the ball travels when hit. Despite some concerns about the bat's hollow sound, they give it a positive review and recommend it to viewers.
π¦ Unexpected Speed Check with a Radar Gun
In a final anecdote, the buyer uses the radar gun to check their own speed while running, only to find that they were going faster than the speed limit in a residential area. The radar gun, despite its earlier issues, seems to function correctly in this instance, leading to a humorous realization of their speeding.

I bought this baseball pitching machine
on the internet for $30 and this is what
somebody had to say about it MC Raven
wrote when I was a kid my Uncle Ed would
come over have a few too many and then
start firing tennis balls at all the
cousins it sounds worse than it is as
his aim was horrible and he often
couldn't reach us anyways fast forward
to today I bought this pitching machine
for my son to practice and instantly had
visions of Uncle Ed the lowest setting
has balls firing at your ankles and even
Drunk Uncle Ed could get a few into the
strike zone overall a terrible buy you
might as well pay an alcoholic family
member in PBR to fire balls
indiscriminately at your children this
thing is the worst I too want to
experience my childhood memories of
Drunk Uncle Ed so we're going to test
this thing out right now and I feel like
it's important to tell you guys the
backstory of setting up this $30
pitching machine it hadn't even been 2
minutes of unboxing before we ran into a
problem I need to fill up screwdriver
got to be kidding
me guys KN some I was going say you
could and that's what I did I ran to a
nearby house and borrowed a screwdriver
from a very kind lady but when I opened
up the machine I realized that the
batteries weren't included so I had to
run to the store and buy some and when I
came back I found out that I bought the
wrong
batteries son of a mother's goat so I
had to go back to the store to get the
right batteries in my opinion way too
much hassle just to test the validity of
mcraven's Uncle Ed Story look at these
balls as plastic as you can possibly get
let's keep a positive mindset here I
mean we paid 30 bucks for this so fire
it up Troy oh I
will coming
in
oh dude it's got some heat on
it Charing
up okay well let's look at the bright
side here it
works why do it charge up like that
bro oh my gosh this thing is horrible
all right come on Uncle
Ed he just struck out on this little
well can we get a rip in the chat for
the Drunk Uncle Ed pitching machine
pretty garbage I'll write an honest
review though we could have spend 30
bucks on dinner the legend of Drunk
Uncle Ed lives on go spend your $30 on
something that isn't useless my dog
could throw better BP than this one
[Music]
star all right so our next item is this
dual display speed radar gun Amazon
Customer said I purchased this radar gun
just to get an idea of how fast cars
have been driving past the house it
seems to work fine for approximately 4
minutes and then shuts off back it goes
why are you recording the speeds of the
cars going by your house Shauna
Greenville said not what we were
expecting sent back because it wouldn't
capture the speed of my son's pitches
okay Shauna probably cuz your son's six
the reviews are not super promising but
I did spend like $115 on this oh my God
okay uh worst reviewed radar gun right
here let's see if it's any
good nothing didn't read no
nothing oh no dude this is not a good
sign here here you
try oh 41 let's go 41 cuz we throwing
too slow look look at that
41 that's crazy it's actually kind of
good here I pretty much blew my arm out
for that 41 mil
per oh 48
wow I think that's pretty accurate
18 that's not
right oh no dude I smoke too
soon
63 48 it was not that was not 48 that
was 106
milph 65 that was kind of accurate I
guess so far it's not terrible we'll
give it two more baseballs and see if it
can prove itself
60 23 was that on the way back 23 I
don't know at first I thought it was
going to be good but I'm not so sure
dude diarrhea has more consistency than
this so-called radar gun the only reason
it's three stars is because it lights up
which is kind of cool and you can
probably track the speed of cars going
by your house three stars exactly the
speed
limit this this is not a worst reviewed
item that's uh I just got it cuz I
thought it was really funny
what no
[Music]
way doesn't even look like a
glove here put this one on yo that one's
kind of good honestly
hey yo let's go I don't know why I
bought I actually look like a walking
yeah I was like you are the baseball so
you I have to catch you
okay ready here comes the pitch to The
[Laughter]
Catcher the next two items that we
reviewed were a pair of nasty green
batting gloves and the classic As Seen
On TV speed radar ball the gloves were
honestly not all that bad but the ball
was pretty useless no surprise
there 48 oh this is arguably worse than
the radar gun it's literally just random
I wonder how this even works there's
probably a little guy in here that's
just hitting different
numbers yo look look look look 49 fat
[Music]
chance all right ladies and gents next
item we have here sunflower seeds the
worst rated sunflower seeds on the
internet I found them Michael steki said
disappointed no flavor at all bird food
reviewer 1234 said false advertising
actual is 770 migrs of sodium cares
nobody cares sunflowers Mrs Chong said
not worth trying we threw the rest out
because no one would eat them with that

salty that's terrible flavorless some
would even say bird seed D

star fill this flash can up by the end
of this video I know crazy what are you
eating not the
SE all right as you can see here
pitching machine we've got another onear
pitching machine to unbox Tuan Bon said
there are many ways that this product is
not supposed to be on the market please
don't buy it after I put it all in I was
so happy to try it out with my son even
even though the pitching force is strong
enough it took me for almost an hour to
adjust the pitching angle to be perfect
at the strike zone but right after one
pitch the machine moved I had to adjust
it again this happened over and over
again period period too much time wasted
to adjust I finally gave up and now the
machine is sitting in the garage
collecting dust Another point when you
try to aim the ball please do not try to
stick the arm through the pole and the
spring if the machine snapped at that
time I guess that will snap your arm as
well T well that's
that c the time lapse of us putting it
[Music]
together what is
this can someone please tell me what
this is there's so many levers and
springs and bolts there's no way I have
no idea how this could work I don't even
understand like what it's going for here
where are you supposed to put the ball
after looking at some instructions we
slowly started to figure out how this
contraption was going to throw a pitch
and let's just say I have never been
more doubtful in my life Troy would you
uh do the honors and throw the first
pitch I've been waiting for this moment
you know how to use that thing no just
get in there and pray all right let me
see let me see a pitch
here oh my
God whoa at this point to set this up i'
rather just throw it okay well it's to
save your arm

curve ball okay this is so
strange no no no something's not right
here let me see let me see B oh you

going

cheese buddy

me oh dude charge him
out what oh my gosh another
one okay we may have gotten a little too
excited although the thing ofama jig was
definitely not very accurate we both
agreed that it did the job it was
supposed to do so we upped it to max
speed and Troy got in the Box
I think's going to hit

anticipation
yo nice bro I am
genuinely happy I'm happy with my
purchase three two
one
hey after everything is said and done I
kind of like this product honestly I'm
going to leave this a good review five
stars because we had a good time Uncle
Ed got nothing on this
thing we then reviewed this little
Gadget the Tepper 202 by Bandit Sports
it was pretty pathetic not going to
[Music]
lie that's what you deserve Tepper 202
and after that we reviewed this teeny
tiny unicorn
glove low key this is kind of fire but
uh will it survive the tear test let's
find
out
[Music]
oh ladies and gentlemen the grand finale
we've got one of the most controversial
baseball bats on the internet some say
it's incredible some say say it's
garbage what are you hiding back there
see for yourself the eastn hype fire let
me just read some reviews for you real
fast Jorge torilla said my nephew used
in two to three games and Leo at the
picture Stacy Marie Ritter said it
cracked Stacy you got to figure out
what's going on with your fingernails JT
said I was excited to get this bat and
my kids was excited to swing it but that
was very shortlived since it broke in
half at the first practice we didn't
even make it to a game and the bat is
back with East for warranty
replacement what are your predictions
Troy will it crack or will it be cracked
I think it is cracked it's going to take
too many pitches to crack
it well we're also hitting on a field
with a 200t fence so each swing that I
take better go out
[Music]
oh
dude it seems like things are holding up
it they come off the bat pretty hot
that's for
sure just listen to the nice silence for
a
second now listen to this
oh my
gosh that was the furthest one it it
feels so good the barrel is so
soft what do you mean by
that
oh oh
dude oh my
gosh
oh the review said that it was garbage
and that it would crack it does sound
pretty Hollow and I could imagine that
if one was strong with a swing speed of
9,000 could probably crack I'd give it
four stars ball go
far period anyways thanks for watching
hope you enjoyed go pick up your lapr
Ros merch today Link in the description
