All right, I'm about to crash out. I might be the number one Whoop hater. I don't know. Everyone's always like, "Oh,
00:00:04
my Whoop. It's so cool. It has the best statistics ever and it's so much better
00:00:08
than all the other ones." Which just reminds me of all the people who have Mac and are like, "Oh, Mac is so much
00:00:13
easier than Windows. That's why I bought it." Which just feels like something
00:00:15
they marketed really well and now you believe that. And >> true. >> There are probably some really niche
00:00:21
people who like the Whoops. I know some people like it because they like to wear
00:00:24
a regular watch, but the fact that this stupid little tracker has a notification
00:00:29
motor but can't notify me when I get actual notifications sounds wild. It can't tell me the time. And this if you
00:00:36
want Whoop 5.0 is somewhere between $239 and $359 a year depending on what features you want. And you aren't paying
00:00:45
monthly, you have to pay yearly. So at a certain point, this just feels like the
00:00:49
Planet Fitness >> scam. Get scammed pretty
