MTV Roadies XX is an adventure reality show that generates significant buzz whenever it airs. Hosted by Rannvijay Singha, the show has kept the audience engaged with shocking twists in every episode.

I tested the YETI Roadie cooler, and the rumors are true — it's practically perfect
The Yeti Roadie Cool Box is definitely one of the best coolers around today. Unfortunately, its whopping $200 (smallest size, 15 quarts) to $450 (largest size, 60 quarts) also makes it one of the most expensive coolers around today. Pricing aside, the Roadie range of coolers is excellent. I tested the 32-quart style, which is right in the middle of the size range. On top of keeping ice cold for days, it's also incredibly hardy, with super-smooth latches and a retractable handle. My favorite part of the cooler was, by far, the wheels. Even when I was dragging the (full) cooler along uneven cobblestones, I could barely feel the wobbly terrain. Spoiler alert: the Yeti Roadie cooler is my favorite cooler thus far. But if you want the full story, read on to find out all the details in this Yeti Roadie Cool Box review. Price $350 / £350 (32) Weight 24.5 pounds (32) Dimensions 19.8 x 20.1 x 20.6 inches (32) Capacity 15 / 24 / 32 /48 / 60 quarts Can capacity 22 / 33 / 50 / 76 / 98 Colors/Materials Various: I tested neon yellow / Injected polyurethane foam The Yeti Roadie Cooler (32) is a whopping $350 from Amazon U.S. and £350 from Amazon U.K.. Yeti also makes the Roadie in 15, 24, 48, and 60 sizes. The Roadie 15 cooler is $200 from Amazon U.S. and £175 from Amazon U.K.. The middle size, Roadie 24, is $250 from Amazon U.S. and £200 from Amazon U.K.. The Roadie 48 is $400 from Amazon U.S. and £400 from Amazon U.K.. Finally, the largest size, Roadie 60, is $450 from Amazon U.S. and £450 from Amazon U.K.. I tested the 32 version, however the functionality between sizes isn't massively different. There are some minor design changes, which I'll get into in the 'Design' section below. $350 makes the Yeti Roadie Cooler the most expensive cooler I've tested thus far. Comparatively, the Engel 19-quart Cooler is just $89, and the iconic Coleman Classic is $84 for a gigantic 70 quart capacity. As with all Yeti gear, the Roadie cooler range is a sight to behold. Everything about the Roadie is well-made, innovative, and trendy. The Roadie comes in a range of colors: I tested the limited-edition 'Firefly yellow', but there's also 'Navy', 'Sky blue', 'Charcoal', 'Wild vine red', 'Key lime' (my personal favorite), 'Big wave blue', 'Rescue red', and 'White'. The cooler itself is insulated with injected polyurethane foam and a tight gasket, however it's not leakproof. Yeti advises that you look into the Hopper Flip range of cooler bags (from $200) if you desire a leakproof cooler. There are a few minor differences between Roadie sizes: the 15 and 24 have a carry strap, whereas the 32 and up have a handle and wheels. Even though the wheels are great (and make the cooler very portable), I do think it's a missed trick not having any carry handles on either side of the cooler box. This would mean you can take the cooler up stairs or steep terrain more easily, assuming you have two strong people in your group. I really struggled getting this up and down the stairs in my apartment building. The retractable handle (Yeti calls this 'Periscope handle') is easy to control thanks to the release button on the underside of the grip. Once I had set it to my desired size, it didn't shrink or lengthen during transportation. That transportation was over pretty uneven terrain — cobblestones, stairs, ramps. I was amazed at how steady the cooler box stayed, even over bumpy cobblestones. The stabilization in the plastic wheels is second-to-none. I have no doubts that the Roadie would be smooth even over bumpy grasslands or sand. If you need a top-of-the-line cooler with blindingly long cool times, then I will direct you to the Yeti Tundra line of hard coolers. These coolers can keep items cold for up to a week with proper prep and usage (basically pre-cooling and then don't open it loads). Still, the Yeti Roadie is supposed to keep cold for around 2-3 days. It can stretch up to 5 days with proper preparing and usage, but I think that's an unrealistic test, as if you use the Roadie for camping trips, parties, or beach trips, you'll likely be opening it regularly and might not have time to pre-cool it. To reflect real-world usage, I put 13 pounds of ice and 20 cans inside the Yeti Roadie at 11am on Monday. I opened the cooler about every 2 hours and removed a can every 4 hours. On Thursday at 11am (so 72 hours after filling the cooler, while removing cans and opening the cooler regularly), it was still cold and some ice was still solid. I would have absolutely no reservations about taking this on weekends away or even 3+ day camping trips. I'll update this review when the cooler finally reaches room temperature, but it's not happened yet. Cleaning the Yeti Roadie is very straightforward, as it's effectively just a plastic box. There's a drain plug at the rear in the center of the handlebars, which made cleaning even easier. A drain tap is pretty commonplace on coolers: the Engel Cooler, Coleman Classic, and Igloo Marine Ultra all have drain taps too. Thankfully, Yeti sells a bucketload of accessories on its website. Ranging from cooler dividers, to reusable ice packs, to cup holders, all the way to… a plastic bull head. (Only compatible with Yeti Tundra coolers I mentioned earlier, unfortunately, or fortunately, depending on your preference.) Yeti offers a 5-year warranty. This is the same as Engel's warranty and a massive 4 years longer than Igloo's comparatively weak 1-year warranty. Although it's expensive, the Yeti Roadie Cooler is the best cooler I've tested so far. It kept not just cold, but ice-cold for over 72 hours. Not only is it efficient at its sole purpose (chilling), it's also very attractive and easy to move. The cooler is also just well-crafted: the wheels somehow stabilize the cooler even on rugged terrain, and the latches are very slick and smooth. There was no pulling or overexertion from me, even when I stuffed the cooler to its max fill. If I could just have one cooler forever, it'd be the Yeti Roadie.

The YETI Hopper Cool Bag is so good that it's going be my go-to accessory this summer
The Yeti Hopper Cool Bag is one of the most unique coolers I've ever seen. For starters, it's a tote bag that can keep cold for over 48 hours. Secondly, it's a massive $300. Other coolers I've tested have managed the same feat for well under $70 (and triple the capacity). Well, could it still be one of the best coolers around today? I think that depends on you. If you want a stylish, hardy, innovative cooler bag and you're not opposed to paying hundreds more for a Yeti-branded product? Then sure. I'm not going to pretend the Yeti Hopper Cool Bag isn't excellent — of course it is. At this price, you'd hope so. It's not quite as adept as the Roadie and Tundra ranges of hard coolers, and it won't be as easy to carry as Yeti's Hopper Backpack coolers, but it still performs its one job exceptionally well: it keeps things cold. I'll discuss all my testing in this Yeti Hopper Cool Bag review. Price $300 (15) / $350 (30) Weight 4.9 pounds Dimensions 20.3 x 9.2 x 16.0 inches Can capacity 32 (15) / 42 (30) Colors/Materials Various: I tested ultramarine violet / High-density mold-resistant fabric The Yeti Hopper Cool Bag range is available in either M15 (20 inches wide, 15-quart capacity) or M30 (25 inches wide, 30-quart capacity) sizes. I tested the 15 size, but the 30 size is practically the same (just bigger). The Yeti Hopper Cool Bag M15 is $300 from Amazon U.S. and £300 from Amazon U.K.. Comparatively, the Hopper Cool Bag M30 is $350 from Amazon U.S. and £350 from Amazon U.K.. Yeti also makes the Hopper range in backpack styles. The backpack cool bag is available in M12 and M20; these are $275 on Amazon U.S., £275 on Amazon U.K., and $325 on Amazon U.S., £325 on Amazon U.K., respectively. As with the Yeti Roadie Cooler, this is incredibly expensive for a cooler. The Coleman Classic Cooler (70 quarts) is just $84 and the Igloo Marine Ultra cooler (54 quarts) is $100. As with other Yeti gear I've tested, where the Hopper Cool Bag really excels is its design. As the Hopper Cool Bag is shaped like a tote bag, it has one long, detachable shoulder strap, and two smaller straps on the top. The shoulder strap is padded too, which is a nice touch as the bag easily gets very heavy. The magnetic snap opening is my favorite aspect of the Hopper Cool Bag. Yeti calls it 'MagShield', which sounds eerily similar to the magnetic charging on iPhones and took me a few tries to remember the difference between 'MagShield' and 'MagSafe'. Regardless, this MagShield opening is very competent. It's protected by a pair of plastic buckles that are stiff and tricky to open, which is a good thing in terms of hardiness, but tricky if you don't have massively dextrous fingers or are pretty weak (like me). There's a handy white tab that you can grab onto to open the cool bag — no fiddling with the magnetic strip. I found it virtually impossible to open the bag without pulling on this tab, so I'm confident that the bag won't open accidentally and let in a bunch of hot air. The opening does not open or close of its own accord, so no need to worry when you're filling the bag or throwing it around in your car. The inside of the bag is made of thick, smooth material not dissimilar to the inner lining of lunch bags I had as a child. The Hopper Cool Bag is like those kid-friendly lunch boxes, but adult-ified to the max. Instead of keeping sandwiches and string cheese cool, it'll keep up to 42 cans of beer cool. Yeti says the Hopper Cool Bag is constructed from 'closed-cell foam', can 'withstand UV rays', and is mildew-resistant. I can't speak personally on the scientific construction of the bag or its resistance to ultraviolet rays, but it performed well at keeping cans cool for over 48 hours — so it's pretty good for a soft cooler. To reflect real-world usage, I put 8 pounds of ice and 8 cans inside the Yeti Hopper at 11am on Monday. On Tuesday morning, it was around a quarter melted, but still mostly frozen and very cold. I removed four cans over the course of Monday-Tuesday, and removed a final can on Wednesday at 9am, so there were three cans left by the 48-hour mark at 11am. On Wednesday at 11am — 48 hours — everything was still cool. While the ice had all melted, the remaining water was extremely cold. All three of the cans were chilled perfectly, and the inside of the bag was cool. Although any food or drink would need to be in an airtight container (to prevent water getting in), it would still be cold. I'm very impressed with this performance. Over 48 hours for a cool bag is extremely proficient and I would have no reservations taking this cool bag on a weekend camping trip. Unlike the Yeti Rambler and Tundra ranges, Yeti only offers a 3 year warranty with the Hopper Cool Bag. The Rambler and Tundra range of cooler boxes gets a whopping 5 year warranty. Even the Cool Bag's comparatively weak warranty is still better than Igloo's 1 year warranty, though. There's no drain tap, given that it's a backpack rather than a hard cooler box. When I cleaned the cool bag, I simply emptied it (by tipping it upside down), and used a sponge with warm soapy water and kitchen paper. Sometimes things are expensive for a reason: they're just really good. And I think that's the case with the Yeti Hopper Cool Bag. It kept my cans cool for 48 hours without breaking a sweat. Not only does it function incredibly well, but it looks a treat while doing so. Yeti offers a huge range of colors so you'll be able to find a style that suits you. If you want a cool bag that is truly the best of the best, then I have no reservations about recommending the Hopper wholeheartedly. It's stylish, effective, and easy to carry. This is the best cooler I've tried so far.

Was Prince Narula absent during wife Yuvika Chaudhary's labor? Former Bigg Boss contestant reacts
Yuvika Chaudhary and Prince Narula's personal lives have always been in the limelight because of their popularity. Recently, there were rumors of their separation after Prince had once claimed in his vlog that he was not aware of Yuvika's delivery date. Speculations arose that Prince wasn't present when the actress delivered their child. Now, Yuvika broke her silence on speculations of Prince's not being present during her delivery. On Paras Chhabra's Abraa Ka Dabra Show, Yuvika Chaudhary recalled that Prince Narula was with her in the Operation Theatre and was making a video while she was getting operated to deliver their baby. The actress mentioned how she always wanted Prince to be with her when she delivered their baby. Yuvika Chaudhary recalled, "Prince was shivering" and added, "Usne stomach cut hote hue dekha hai, baby bahar aate dekha hai, voh khushi ke maare pagal tha (He has seen the stomach being cut, baby coming out, he was mad because of joy). The Bigg Boss 9 fame shared how Prince was emotional after seeing their daughter as soon as she was born. She remembered how she was singing spiritual songs while she was being operated. Yuvika continued, "I can feel that my first layer is being cut. My second layer is being cut. I can feel. Half body gets numbed but you get to know." She shared how Prince was shivering and was over the moon as soon as he held their daughter Ekleen in his hand. Reacting to the rumors, Yuvika shared that it was their "personal moments" and not many know. When Paras asked Yuvika how she is planning to raise her 6-month-old daughter, Ekleen, the actress stated, "I won't make her delicate." She continued, "Usko mai rough and tough banuagi (I will make her rough and tough)." Further, Yuvika explained how she was raised as a "delicate" child by her mother, and thus she doesn't want to do the same with her daughter. She elaborated that because of being delicate, she faced a lot of struggle in the outside world, as she received too much pampering at home. The Om Shanti Om actor added, "Mai chahti hu usko mai pura Roadies banau (I want to make her Roadie)." She continued, "She (Ekleen) has that in her attitude." Yuvika emphasised how during her pregnancy days, she used to keep telling her baby that she is "very strong, a good soul, spiritual." She shared that she used to talk to her baby and teach her values. Yuvika recalled telling her baby to be "fearless, kind, and strong, and never give up." Yuvika even mentioned that their daughter is "stubborn" like her and Prince. Yuvika said, "She is actually a Roadie kid." Workwise, Yuvika Chaudhary has been a part of numerous Television shows, web shows and even did many films. She was last seen in the web show Cyber Vaar (2022).
