Amazon Prime Day 2021 has come and gone and, anecdotally, one of the quietest ones I remember.  Not a lot of chatter from friends, followers, or my fellow media members.  Did you buy something that you thought was "such a deal"?  Receive it and now want to return it?  

I also just deleted my Microsoft Edge browser after many years and download an incredibly fast and secure browser.  Tune in to learn more. 

There are many gifts you can buy at the last-minute from e-gift cards to celebrity video shout outs.  Let's run down some of the things you can get dad since you waited to the last day.  Also, watch out for Amazon Prime Day scams - not all deals are great.

Jeff Bezos gifted his brother a seat on the very first Blue Origin flight into space.  Why not...he owns the company.  Interestingly enough another seat on the inaugural launch next month was auctioned off for $28 million.  Would you fly into space on an inaugural flight or wait until they get a few under their belt.

This hot topic plus Elon Musk's (speaking of space flight) newest Tesla reveal and, yes, I actually talk about Apple and it's upcoming operating system.

(and really, does this photo NOT look like an Austin Powers movie poster?!)

I do like the Subaru brand as it means rugged, outdoorsy (is that a word?), efficient, yet practical.  Listen here as I yap about my week in the 2021 Subaru Crosstrek CUV.

It costs 6 figures and it probably is worth every penny.  

Spend 10 minutes with Michael as he talks about his week in the new BMW M440i convertible.  Soft-top, fast speed, good handling. 

Father's Day countdown continues - who wants a blender? An air fryer?  Ok, maybe a grill.  Senior citizens who want a phone that does nothing much more than make phone calls are in luck as Best Buy goes all in on that growing demographic.  And June 1 began hurricane season.  I've got the 3 most important devices you need now to prepare for a potential disaster. 

I love driving and testing cars and trucks and can't wait to get behind the wheel of Ford's recently announced EV truck.  My rumor circle in the auto industry seems pretty pumped.  But I still have some hold backs on why it is still not time to buy EVs, unless you just want to drive them around town.  Listen now!

An all-around American truck that hauls without a ton of upgrade or bells-and-whistles.

Cryptocurrency and EVs seem to be the hottest topics these past few weeks.  Bitcoin and Doge fell sharply so it may be time to take stock in old school companies like automobiles.  Ford announced its new EV truck, the F-150 Lightning and it lit up the internet.  It won't be out for at least a year but with a low starting price of $40k, it could be the catalyst for consumers to start snapping up electric vehicles.
