 We look like we're in an asylum a little bit. Professional YouTuber here. Well hello everybody and welcome back to my channel. Guess who's here? Hello. It's the favorite brother. He's in town. I wanted to do a video with him. The last video I did with him was a back in December and I will leave that down below for you guys if you'd like to. The vlogmas. The vlogmas, yes. And everybody asked questions of him. So we wanted to film a favorites video together since it's the favorite daughter and the favorite son or the favorite brother and the favorite sister. Get it? First things first. There is a giveaway in this video. Exciting. I don't think I've ever done a favorites video with a giveaway. So this company actually reached out to me. It's Yode. Ta-da. These cool wood watches. I'll be putting in like inserts and stuff like that over our faces or whatever while I'm talking. This company is pretty awesome. They're called Yode. Found them originally on Instagram as one of my like suggested people in my feed and I saw the watches a couple of months before they actually reached out to me and I do accept products for consideration from time to time. Just kind of, you know, depends on the product. This looked actually kind of cool. I really love menswear style watches and when I started talking to their PR rep, I was talking about my audience retention and mostly it's females that watch me and I thought that maybe it'd be kind of cool to get a guy's perspective on the watch and I really love some of the designs. They do have women's designs as well. They have like colorful faces and stuff but I did choose a unisex one and Phil chose kind of more of a man's version. It's a man's watch. So we were talking and they decided to send me two watches to test out. I actually got this at the very beginning of June so I've been wearing it in all of my balloons logs that you guys have been watching and I actually sent Phil his because he has been in Atlanta for the last month so he's been using and enjoying his watch out there and I figured this was kind of a cool thing to do. So let's talk about the giveaway. The giveaway is open internationally. They do free shipping as well as free sizing and the prize is going to be $180 shop credit. Their watches range in price. I'll leave obviously the regular link below so you guys can go and check them out but that is going to be the grand prize. The giveaway ends on 714. Yod is the one that's actually sponsoring the giveaway. They are going to be selecting the winner and contacting you via all of that information that you put in the computer. Also if you just want to check these guys out and order one for yourself or a loved one or a family member or a friend. There is a $25 coupon code for you guys. Just put in the codeword favorite daughter Emily. No spaces at checkout for $25 off and the same applies to you. There's free sizing and free international shipping as well. The coupon code also ends on 714 so if you want to check it out just put the links below but as you guys know I've been wearing this in like pretty much every single vlog except for the ones where I'm actually painting because I don't want to get it all messed up and I know a few of you've actually ordered them because you've told me that you have because I get comments on my watch and I've been trying to put them in the links below on all my balloon vlogs but you know I forget sometimes but this is like the real giveaway but I wanted to test it out first to see if I liked it and I love them and it's they're really cool. So as for a guys perspective what do you think of the watch? I like it. I'm normally used to like the Casio G-Shock series and when she's like hey there's this cool wooden watch would you actually try it and was like heck yeah I'll try it and I think it goes with almost everything that I wear. I normally wear kind of earth tone clothes anyhow and it looks it looks cool. I like that you can see what's going on inside of it because I'm normally used to like digital watches so it's kind of new to me and when I'm sitting there in class or at work and I'm bored I'll just like kind of be mesmerized by what actually goes on inside of there so yeah I think it's interesting. I really like it. It comes with an awesome box. Oh yeah I haven't shown the box yet so here's the box it's got a J on it very cool and then it's magnetic on the top we're wearing our watches right now but it comes with this like burlap little pillow pillow because every watch needs a pillow so the packaging is actually really really nice it does also come with an extra link so you can get if you want to make it larger yeah if you want to make it larger or if you get the sizing wrong you can always you know if you get too many links you can always take it into your jeweler and get that taken care of for you um also there is a little microfiber cloth there's also another microfiber cloth that they said this is like a little bit beefier um and then there is a little tray at the bottom which is secret compartment. It is like a secret compartment um and this has some wood oil in there because the watches are all made of wood which is really really neat but that was a really cool thing that the company has done and it's all their watches are all wood so and they all except for the mechanics inside right yeah you can't you can't really do that but it's a cool concept if you have um a guy out there or a gal out there that's like really into watches this is just kind of a cool thing to maybe do for like a birthday or a holiday or something I don't know they're kind of fun so I'm gonna do all of my favorites first and then we're gonna talk about my brother's favorites um these are my june favorites but Phil's gonna do something a little bit different with his favorites so we'll get into that when we get into that stay tuned he's right so first favorite of the month is going to be fashion this is an accessory so we're gonna do the fashion I'm actually wearing it right now I'm wearing lula row dang oh no it is so comfortable it feels like pajamas I've had lula row stuff for a really long time and I really really enjoy it I will leave the Facebook link to the gal Vanessa that I get the majority of my lula row stuff from and if you end up buying something from Vanessa let her know that I sent you um but I just love this stuff it's really nice they've got nice leggings I've got the leggings on right now which I can't I can't I can't I like I'm not that flexible you guys oh but I'm wearing the leggings right now they are on they are I swear I'm wearing pants this video just took a turn all right but I love these they're nice and comfortable and they literally feel like you're wearing pajamas all day and I need that as stressful as my job is not this job but my like normal regular daily life job I wish I could wear pajamas at my job it's it's very nice they should make you know I think they make lula row for men but they just have some tops so they have like a like a baseball tee kind of a thing for guys but they don't have leggings for dudes I mean I'm sure you can wear the leggings my next favorite kind of segwaying into being here at the new house is some cuticle oil as you guys know I've been painting and sanding and doing all this stuff and it has been like murder on my fingers and I have had many products from this natural skincare line called clean and dirty and I have been rubbing this on my cuticles every single night and it's been really helping my nails I feel like I still have some paint on my hands but we're gonna look beyond that today but this I feel like has been really really helpful I have had her stuff for quite a while and she reached out to me and I do have a coupon code I will put it down below I can't remember what the percentage is is that it's off if you guys want to check it out it's all natural I love their deodorant it's just so much better than using the aluminum deodorants for you and I wear it every day and I love that stuff too but this has been really helpful with like the painting and the washing of the hands all the time and I don't know I'm just really into it so cuticle and nail oil from clean and dirty love this stuff Emily may I ask a question you can fill what's geodorant geodorant did you say geodorant I said deodorant you said geodorant I said you said geodorant well it's a take back natural I love their deodorant no deodorant you said G I thought you said geodorant geodorant um all right so my next favorite after that is going to be my vloon series I will link it below if you guys have not caught up on vloon what's wrong with you isn't this a vloon video right here no this is a formal sit-down video this is going to go up on a Wednesday so I do post every single week Monday Wednesday Friday at 9am central standard time however in June I'm doing a vloon series which is June plus vlog equals vloon I've actually had many questions on that in the comments but anyway it makes sense to me the cool thing is is June 1 is actually the day that I closed on the place that we're in right now so it's kind of been following me along on the home buying slash renovating journey which um you guys have been enjoying and then also my brother's in town now my parents are in town so lots of interesting cast of characters have been there um they've met Jackson they've met Isabel you know you've we've met a lot of people on the vloon so I will link the playlist below um I highly suggest starting at day one and going from there and I hope you guys enjoy it makes a popcorn yes they're they're not really loose but if you watch them all in one city good luck to you oh and my dog's in the vlogs everybody likes the dog so the dog's in every vlog a dog rhymes with vlog yeah the dog vlog mm-hmm okay so my next item speaking of binge watching things orange is the new black the new season just came out I haven't completely finished it yet because I've just been so busy with the house but I've watched about half the season and it's really really good that includes my favorites so Phil's gonna talk about some of his favorites but I'll let him talk about what he wants to talk about in the video because this is his portion okay since I haven't done my favorites I'm not doing monthly favorites I was like hey since I'm in Minnesota right now and we're filming this in Minnesota I was like let me do a Minnesota favorites so what a great idea I had so I wrote I wrote a couple things out I was brainstorming yesterday and came up with a couple things um some of my favorite places to eat if if you've never passed by Minnesota highly recommend it it is deluxe oh jeez here we go here we go uh I have to put that word in our video so best place to eat pizza in Minnesota according to me is a place called Broadway pizza the several locations in the north metro I actually used to work there back in the dizzy and I used to take a pizza home with me almost every single day after work that my boss may or may not have known about but every single one was delicious normally whenever I come back to Minnesota I go out of my way to get Broadway pizza another one that I go to it's like a fast food taco shop called Zantigos and there's a I think there's like three or four locations uh the one I always go to is in fridley again I used to work at that place normally you'd think people that like worked at a food restaurant like absolutely kind of get sick of it and hate it to be like oh I know how that's made like I don't want to eat that like the two restaurants I've ever worked in in my entire life when I was like in high school I actually want to eat it you have like the exact opposite effect those are two of the places another one is dragon house which actually just happened to be wearing my dragon house did you plan this are you a professional youtuber I kind of planned it I think Emily has probably broke the news to you guys already if you haven't heard yeah that it's one of her favorite restaurants and actually our entire family's favorite restaurant and unfortunately they are they are closing in a couple weeks for good so what do you guys see this they will actually be closing their doors for good that's Saturday when you guys see this video published on a Wednesday that Saturday they're closing their doors for good unfortunately but we're trying to get as much dragon house in our systems as we can until that happens so yeah so we actually went there for dinner yesterday last night yeah for dinner we're pre-filming this I'll probably go there yeah we gotta convert the time continuum trans functioner and uh all that other other stuff highly technical uh that's dragon house and Columbia Heights sad thing is by the time you probably watch this video you're only gonna have a couple days to get there so I'll leave links below to all the things that he's talking about as much as I can find and she'll probably still have leftovers in the fridge I probably will months after they close I think that they should do like a clinic there or like a tutorial on how to properly freeze your items and thaw them out so you can get the best flavor just a suggestion we actually know like we're family friends with like the owner of the place like I have the owner's personal cell phone number in my phone like and he he would probably finally give like the actual ingredients to us if somehow we wanted to yes please fingers try to recreate that it still would never taste as good but it doesn't matter it never tastes as good no at least we could try exactly so so after that place I would also recommend Kamar checks which is in northeast Minneapolis which is a kind of Eastern European German Polish Ukrainian type place that you can get like sausages and also authentic don't they have the borscht there yeah they've got a bunch of different soups yeah it's really good they've got like the sauerkraut roll with the sauce you put on it that's amazing they've got the best it smells really good when you go in there they've got the best that cucumber tomato salad that you get some places yeah they've got the best one I've ever had there and they're also really well known for their sausages they've got a whole other side it's like a big meat market yep and they have like meats and cheeses and stuff over there yeah and they they sell those at the twins game the Minnesota twins baseball games as well they've got a little restaurant there places that I like to actually visit in Minnesota I love the parks in Minnesota I miss the parks whenever I'm like gone and I come back I always try to make it a point to go visit something naturey almost every place that I go he's outdoorsy the outdoors doesn't like me I think I told you guys that in a few vlogs but he loves the outdoors I can't go outside because I get welts all over my skin it's gross another park that'd be cool is uh Franconia park which is kind of a drive up by still water and also mentioning still water just some cool places the road trip red wing which that's you've done that several times there's a go see the big shoe at the redway red wing shoe shop yep you gotta do you gotta take a picture with it it's just what you had to do there yeah it's a it's a cool little town and my favorite thing to do there is actually hike up this bluff that overlooks the Mississippi river on the other side of the river is actually all Wisconsin but on the side that you're on is red wing and it actually looks down um on the entire city it's a pretty amazing view and it's a really simple hike too it takes like 30 minutes to get up it a couple cool other places to visit if you haven't is still water which is just east of the twin cities not that far of a drive it's got a lift bridge and some cool restaurants and different shops and stuff around there they've got some really cool like um like vintage shops and antique shops and stuff so definitely that's a cool place to spend an afternoon yeah these are places to like do a quick little day road trip other cool things to do in Minnesota if you visit here or live here and and haven't done this stuff is I highly recommend going to a st. Paul saints game it's awesome a lot of people just think like hey i'm going to go to a Vikings game or a twins game or a Timberwolves game or Minnesota wild game but a lot of times they overlook the st. Paul saints which is a minor league baseball team it's a lot less serious it's a lot more family friendly I think than the twins baseball team like you get there and it's all about just like goofy stuff happening happening in between the games or in between the innings it's really entertaining good stuff to eat I think everybody in Minnesota has been to the state fair if you are not from Minnesota check it out it's normally in August end of August into September labor day yeah I think labor day is the last day yep it goes on for I think it's 10 total days I'll leave a link down below to the Minnesota State Fair website you guys can check it out and it's one of the best places to visit in Minnesota in my opinion awesome people watching probably one of the people watching is epic one of the best places you get everybody there it's amazing one last thing that I want to talk about will end it on a positive note oh gosh what category is this we're going to talk about my favorite Minnesota beer oh here we go in the last surprise you didn't get like a prop no for the video well after we've done film in the video I'm gonna go celebrate yeah with my Minnesota favorite beer there's actually a lot of different beers in Minnesota that I that I like that I can't really get other places Minnesota even has a reputation of being having like some beer snobs here there's a lot of craft beers here in Minnesota a lot my favorite Minnesota beer is made by the company called grain belt which is actually one of the historic Minnesota beers that has been here for a long period of time they were actually defunct for many years and they were brought back I think with the original recipe but under a different ownership and they had grain belt premium was the one I kind of first had I think here me about eight years ago 10 years ago they came up with grain belt northeast it got a little bit more flavor to it than the premium I really like that it really were like just reminds me of Minnesota but also if I want to get something with a little bit more flavor in it and an actual craft beer which northeast is not certainly furious which comes in like these tall cans I really like that and it's also on tap it at some a lot of Minnesota bars actually but that one's really good and don't be scared by the name surly furious it's not like gonna turn you into some like maniac or anything like but you like so fast so furious you drink two of them you be I but so don't bring drink three girls are really really fast and furious but they actually come in they're tall cans and they come in packs of four and they're they're delicious I love them they gotta be really nice and cold though that's really all I got for my my Minnesota favorites obviously I could go on this is like the more you know about Minnesota yeah turned into a Minnesota favorites as well that's okay just trying to share some info and she's like hey it's a favorites video and I'm like like I got some favorites but I'm all out of favorites why don't you hit up all those favorites I mentioned and then I'll link everything below for you guys yeah give him your review and be like yeah Phil I don't know about this hey but I'm a world-renowned travel guy he is he travels all over the place but all right so that is going to be it for our accumulative favorites video make sure to check out the link for the giveaway feel free to subscribe and also thumbs up the video if you haven't already like I said before I'm here every Monday Wednesday and Friday at 9 a.m. central standard time balloon will be over by then but I will still put the playlist down below so you guys can check it out and you can join me on my little vlogging adventure of the month of June but yeah thank you so much to yod for the cool watches and I hope that some of you guys check out the website and just see for yourself and I'm really excited about who wins so whoever wins like tag me on Instagram or you know send me a message on Facebook or something and show me your watch once you get it so I'm going to be really curious on who actually wins this awesome giveaway sponsored by yod so anyways we are going to go and I will see you in my next video
