>> Drink serving rafts, robot caddies, and a new age umbrella, plus Ms. Bonnie Cha in the studio. Are you happy to be here?

>> I'm super happy.

>> All right. All that and more on this week's Crave. ^M00:00:10 [ Music ]

>> What's up, guys? You are all watching Crave, your top destination for all the tech goodies, cool, quirky, and fun. And I'm joined by the Boom -- cue the sound effect. I like that. How are you doing?

>> I'm good. How are you?

>> I'm doing good. So you know what we came here to do. Let's hear what you got for us.

>> Yeah. So I've got this floating raft that's basically five speakers, six cup holders. You can use it in the pool and just kinda, you know, let it float around. Serve you drinks and play music.

>> What type of songs would you want to listen to?

>> I don't know, maybe a little reggae.

>> And the drinks in it, what would they be? Lemonade?

>> Lemonade, of course. Or soda.

>> Arnold Palmer's only, right.

>> Of course. ^M00:00:46 [ Music ]

>> All right. Another cool thing on our Crave blog is the Philip's Eco TV. And I got to check this out at CVS.

>> Yes.

>> And what's really cool about it, it's 42 inches, but it uses less power...

>> Right.

>> ...than an incandescent light bulb. Did I say that right?

>> You sure did. Well done.

>> Why don't you say that three times right now?

>> I don't wanna.

>> Say it three times fast right now. That's why she won't say it.

>> I don't...

>> Say it. Try it.

>> Incandescent, incandescent, incandescent.

>> Damn it. She's good.

>> What do I get?

>> Respect. So if you're willing to spend around 14 hundred dollars, it's still a really cool TV. It looks great.

>> Yeah. It sounds pretty awesome.

>> That one there. ^M00:01:16 [ Music ]

>> What else, what else?

>> So I've got the uCan waterproof MP3 player. So I think swimming laps is really boring, but now you can have music and swim laps, all happy. And you can swim as long as you can.

>> Swim all happy?

>> Yeah.

>> Who -- you swim all happy, like under...?

>> Don't you? Like, "Hey."

>> Wow, can we -- can you do that move one more time for...

>> Hey.

>> Wow, that's really weird. Okay, don't do that outside of this show.

>> Whatever.

>> Don't do that in public.

>> Hater.

>> No, this other cool thing I saw on the Crave blog, it's called the "Shadow Caddy."

>> Yeah.

>> And it's like a robot caddy. And what happens is the golfer wears a sensor.

>> Mm-hmm.

>> And this caddy, like, follows you all over the course.

>> Right.

>> Eighteen holes.

>> So it's for the lazy golfer.

>> Yeah, but what if, like, I wish maybe I could use this with, like, girls. And then they would just follow me wherever they go.

>> Oh. Okay. I was going to say don't you follow girls?

>> Do you think that would work?

>> I guess. I don't know.

>> No. I don't at all.

>> Really?

>> In fact, I'm a really classy guy.

>> Oh, really?

>> Can't you tell?

>> So I haven't seen you outside stalking girls or anything like that?

>> Never. Never.

>> Okay.

>> Not in front of CNET offices, nope. Not at all.

>> Not at all. ^M00:02:16 [ Music ]

>> All right. Now, we don't have any Crave trivia for you guys this week, but we have something a little different. And Bonnie's gonna explain.

>> So Brian's always calling me Boom Cha.

>> Boom.

>> But I don't have a nickname for him. So I'm asking for your help. Send in your best submissions and we'll pick the top two.

>> Yeah.

>> And those winners will get the Brenthaven laptop cases.

>> Yeah. These 15-inch laptop bags, and basically she's not creative. She has no brainpower, so help us out.

>> Oh, yeah.

>> And that'll be cool. So just email us at drivingmecravy@cnet.com, and there you go.

>> Yeah. Help me be creative.

>> Okay. Cool. Now, it's time for a segment that you guys all know and love. I love it 'cause it's a cool segment.

>> Yeah. It is a cool segment.

>> Do Not Crave. ^M00:02:56 [ Music ]

>> Summer season is coming up, but that isn't stopping one company from offering us something new when the rain, wind, sleet, and snow come back. Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the Newbrella. What is that, besides making you look like a walking bubble boy? Well, it's made to replace those weak umbrellas that get turned inside out from the wind and protects you from all weather conditions. It even has a hands-free option. Now, they call it the ultimate weather protector, but I call it the ultimate game killer. Now, what if you had some beans for lunch and the air gets trapped? It ain't gonna protect you from that. So I'll give them props for this new idea, but for now, we just gotta say, "Do Not Crave." ^M00:03:35 [ Music ]

>> Now, everything you heard about on our Crave show, you can find on our Crave blog at crave.cnet.com, and thanks for coming out. Had fun.

>> Absolutely.

>> All right. We'll see you next time, maybe.

>> Yeah, maybe.

>> Maybe. Okay.

>> Maybe I'll think about it.

>> All right. We'll see you guys next week.

>> Bye. ^M00:03:49 [ Music ]
