1
00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:03,360
Speaker 1: Rich DeMuro here Rich on Tech telling you about several

2
00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:06,400
Speaker 1: apps that can help you plan the perfect Valentine's Day.

3
00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:10,080
Speaker 1: Most of these apps are on demand. Let's start with Zeal.

4
00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:13,520
Speaker 1: This is an on demand massage app. They will bring

5
00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:17,119
Speaker 1: the spa to your house. Literally, you tap a few

6
00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:19,400
Speaker 1: things on the app, you say what you want, and

7
00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:22,640
Speaker 1: next thing you know, you'll have a licensed massage therapist

8
00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:25,200
Speaker 1: at your door. And you can even do a couple's

9
00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:28,440
Speaker 1: massage with them. So they will bring two therapists. They

10
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:30,880
Speaker 1: bring everything you need, They set up a bed. You

11
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:32,519
Speaker 1: have to find a place in your house where you

12
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:35,479
Speaker 1: can fit this, especially if you're gonna do the couple's massage.

13
00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:38,760
Speaker 1: But I've done this before. It's really cool. I'm not

14
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:41,159
Speaker 1: a massage person, but you know, my wife loves to

15
00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:43,919
Speaker 1: get these things, so you know, I play along and

16
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:46,240
Speaker 1: it's not bad. It's kind of cool. It's in your house,

17
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:48,159
Speaker 1: you don't have to leave. The only thing you do

18
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:50,800
Speaker 1: need to know you have to supply a fresh set

19
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:54,040
Speaker 1: of sheets, so you do need a sheet for their

20
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:56,000
Speaker 1: bed and then of course a top sheet as well.

21
00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 1: So again that one is called Zeal and they will

22
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 1: bring the massage to you. Now, if you need some wine,

23
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:05,039
Speaker 1: maybe some wine, a nice bottle of champagne, whatever it is,

24
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:09,120
Speaker 1: you can check out the alcohol delivery app Drizzly. They

25
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 1: have a selection over fifteen hundred products, including wine, beer,

26
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 1: and spirits. You can pay and tip from inside the app,

27
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:18,560
Speaker 1: so I know a lot of people don't carry around

28
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:21,960
Speaker 1: cash anymore. You can tip right from inside and basically

29
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:24,559
Speaker 1: the order is delivered to your door in about an hour,

30
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 1: and this all comes from participating local businesses. Again, you

31
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 1: have to be twenty one to use this app. You

32
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:34,200
Speaker 1: know that though it's called Drizzly and it's an alcohol

33
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:37,479
Speaker 1: delivery app. I've seen my friends use this at a

34
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:39,479
Speaker 1: poker game I was at, so that was pretty cool.

35
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 1: I have not used this one myself at home, but

36
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 1: we did test out a delivery to the station and

37
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:46,840
Speaker 1: it was pretty cool. They were here at the exact

38
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 1: time they said they would be all right. Moving on. Now,

39
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 1: you need some flowers, how about a website called The

40
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 1: Book's Company. The Books Company has some really fresh flowers

41
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 1: and the reason why their flowers are so fresh is

42
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 1: because they ship them directly from the farm. So yes,

43
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 1: your flowers come right from places like South America, Ecuador

44
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 1: and that's it. They cut them there and then they

45
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 1: put them in a box and they send them to you.

46
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:13,799
Speaker 1: So we visited their facility in Marina del Rey and

47
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:16,640
Speaker 1: it's very nice, best smelling place I've ever been in.

48
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 1: They say, if you take care of your bouquet, it

49
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 1: can last weeks instead of days. I was able to

50
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 1: keep the bouquet that they gave me just over a week,

51
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:29,079
Speaker 1: and they told me three ways to keep your flowers fresh.

52
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 1: Number one, you got to snip the ends on a

53
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 1: slant like, kind of on an angle, not straight, and

54
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 1: that helps them drink water. The second thing is that

55
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,360
Speaker 1: you want to change that water every single day. And

56
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 1: the third thing is definitely used just a little drop

57
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 1: of food or maybe a tiny drop of bleach, or

58
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:49,679
Speaker 1: even vodka. You can put a little tiny drop of

59
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 1: vodka in there, and all three of those things will

60
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 1: help to cut down on bacteria. And that's really what's

61
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 1: killing those flowers that are in that vase. So check

62
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 1: out the books Very Cool Fresh Stuff. If you want

63
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 1: to try them out, use my code rich on Tech

64
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:06,799
Speaker 1: for fifteen percent off your order, whether you're a new

65
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 1: customer or an existing customer. So thanks to Books for

66
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 1: setting that up. All right. Finally, one more thing to

67
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 1: try out door dash dot com. Door dash is a

68
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 1: food delivery service, and I know there's a million of

69
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:21,079
Speaker 1: these out there. What's cool about DoorDash is a couple

70
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 1: of things They have like pretty much every restaurant you

71
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 1: could ever imagine signed up with them. And also, you

72
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 1: can filter your restaurant results by the lowest delivery fee,

73
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 1: so that's kind of a neat way to find Let's

74
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 1: say you don't want to pay any sort of delivery fee,

75
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 1: you can sort them by that delivery fee and see

76
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 1: which ones are delivering for free. And sometimes restaurants do that.

77
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 1: Sometimes a're on special they'll do that as well. And

78
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 1: if you want to save some cash, of course go

79
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 1: with a low delivery fee, But if you want to

80
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 1: go with top rated restaurants, you can go and sort

81
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 1: that way as while some of the other services out

82
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 1: there don't let you sort the restaurants as easily as DoorDash.

83
00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 1: So that's what we like about them. We interview the

84
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 1: CEO and co founder of DoorDash, nice guy, and just

85
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 1: basically said that you know, consumers want to save money,

86
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 1: they want to, you know, have us do the delivery

87
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 1: for them. And it's also a good way for restaurants

88
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 1: that don't normally do their own delivery to kind of

89
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:17,240
Speaker 1: outsource their delivery to a third party, and DoorDash and

90
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:19,839
Speaker 1: all these other companies make that possible. So I loved

91
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 1: when I ordered from DoorDash how they gave me the

92
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:25,559
Speaker 1: exact moment the person would ring my doorbell and no joke,

93
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:27,840
Speaker 1: that's the exact time they rang my doorbell. Now, I'm

94
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 1: sure that was just pretty random, but that's they say

95
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 1: their technology does. All Right, there you have it, four

96
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 1: ways to deliver the perfect Valentine's Day through apps. If

97
