Good morning, im scott mcgrew. So there is this thing. It is called the juiceerro and it makes juice and when it was unveiled, everybody rolled their eyes because it was 700. It was a wifi enabled juice maker and you cant put fruits and vegetables in and you use ivy premade backs that cost 7 a glass. Thats ridiculous. And wont give you juice if the wifi is down. I bring this up because i want you to know my state of mind when i heard about a wifi enabled tape top oven called june. It even has a camera inside so you could watch your steak cook over the internet, and i thought, oh, come on, i have an oven. What is this like 700 . No, it is 1,500.
