2017-12-25
these are the top five rejected top fives of 2017 you know they say in brainstorming there are no bad ideas and that might be true but when you eventually try to sit down to make top five scripts out of a brainstorming session you realize there are some bad ideas after all here are five ideas that are sitting on the bench for now how are they right they are ranked from least likely to most likely to have been made in episode of top five coming in at number five the top five smartwatches I think I wrote this idea early in 2017 and was hoping maybe just maybe smartwatches would get good my exact note when I revisited this idea said who would care at number four top five seen at top five hosts this was an idea for April Fool's Day episode there been a handful of hosts for the show but it didn't want to come off unintentionally mean-spirited if I ranked them even Phil was a joke that's right if something is mean-spirited on this show it's usually on purpose I also thought about listing myself in a 5-way time instead we went in a different direction you did text that episode right there's a place Sega's newest home console is all that and a bag of chips it's got a built-in modem so you can play with other people over the Internet just make sure no one picks up the phone when you're gaming though then there's the controller with a mini video game console right inside it can't fail number three top five tips for pixel two XL owners honestly within a week of the pixel 2 XL release the number one sip might have been to avoid the pixel 2 XL entirely however if you stuck by your pixel remember to turn on gestures and settings so you can pull down the notification tray by swiping on the fingerprint sensor in the original pixel it was under the moves option also make sure you're shooting video in 4k since you're getting unlimited backup for your stuff at full quality with Google photos might as well take advantage of that deal huh at number 2 were the top five tips for Robo vac owners this one was weird because that thought was useful but essentially I would be reading your robo VAX manual to you say hello to my dog tour it she is extremely allergic to dust mites and guess what dust mites can live in the hair that she sheds that's why I have a Robo vac that cleans the apartment daily if you were wondering about those tips themselves clean Kahless because robo backs sometimes have no mercy another was to put away shoes I've come home to find my Nieto bought back dragging a slipper with it as it attempted to clean the place and the number one rejected top 5 for 2017 was top 5 ways to get smarter this would have focused on online learning sites like Coursera EDX iTunes U etc the problem was in the ranking there's no way I could take every course I actually did take 3 different nutrition courses using Coursera EDX and iTunes personally I like the Coursera course from Stanford the best the video quality was excellent and the notes were good introduction to the topic this was essentially an unmanageable top 5 but there's a chance I might try to do this again in the future and there you have it that's the last top 5 of 2017 I want to thank Bryan Van Gelder he's shot and edited most of the top fives you've seen this year also I want to thank all of you for watching Amaya's actor and I'll see you online
