of differences where you can be entered into drawing for Moni and while we’re on the subject of sleep I was perusing the internet on Huffington Post they had this article where they talked about what they said was the dumbest invention of the year so I had to check this thing out bold clean it’s called the upright sleeper and it’s it’s a device that helps you sleep while sitting or standing upright I guess if you could if you’re into that if you’re like a horse I sleep standing up every Thursday night really yeah I always thought we were working on Thursday nights but have you been slightly so you dyed your eyes are also you open I’m actually sleeping the entire time do horses sleep with their eyes open or just standing don’t answer that it’s a myth that they sleep stand it’s a trap that question was a trap so the upright sleeper they’ve got this video and I’ll start off by saying this video is awesome I mean the production value of this thing you know they believe in their products so much they put a lot of money into their their voiceover and their editing and their acting and you know shot selection everything so I’d like for us to watch that together and then we can dialogue about the you know the pros and cons of this you mean talk yeah okay of this product so let’s watch this thing the upright sleeper is the recipient of the SkyMall innovation of the Year award and winner of the best invention of the Americas for 2012 check it out look how compact the upright sleeper is the upright sleeper is 100% adjustable to every face shape and size simply throw the strap over your head tilt your head upward trap the patented strap between your back of the seat lean back relax your head and go to sleep if you prefer you could purchase a cover that doubles as a tote bag hmm how’s the sound keep going up that was a choice huh so obviously this is an amazing device because I’m sitting here thinking I gotta get one of these even though that video was pretty much horrible you know I’m just gonna say so you seriously would get I think it’s pretty great I mean and that was even before I realized that you could put a sheath over it and make it look like a gargantuan turtleneck yeah even before that I was sold on this thing I mean I’ve been on a plane and not only have I like hit the head on your shoulder but on like a stranger shoulder and you know the whole neck pillow thing that you can have on a plane I know about those those don’t work they don’t work and they’re too low and you still end up getting the crank in the neck I I feel stupid wearing those I feel stupid wearing the neck pillow I much less wearing or much more willing that wearing the upright sleeper it’s like you look like you’ve been injured you know I’m saying you look looks like a neck brace like you’ve been in an accident so sorry sorry you okay no I’m just trying to nap you leave me alone I’m trying to nap no I I think it’s you know you don’t look you don’t look like you’re a whole person when wearing this thing I will say that you look like you’re one of those women from the African tribe do what’s the Rings Oh a neck stretcher yeah it could probably double as that well I mean you you tell us what you think in the comments about this of all in one ask I’m SkyMall product of the year so Huffington Post says is the dumbest invention of the year but SkyMall says it’s the best thing of the year well I think you know which which is the most reputable nothing knows this demonstrates the average total impractical nature of everything in SkyMall but this is the best thing they’ve got I think if the person writing the Huffington Post article was on a plane and then saw it in the SkyMall they would think differently about it because it’s at the point of your need do you appreciate the fact that the genius I’m just just this I’m just too self-conscious I don’t care how well it makes me sleep if it makes me look like a moron and everyone’s wondering what happened to me I did I’m not gonna be I’m not gonna be comfortable enough to relax to sleep because I’m gonna be thinking look they think that I’ve got four broken vertebra you don’t saying the thing that I love about it is the process by which watch this the process by which you have to put it on it’s like you wrap your head can you imagine the person next to you on a plane doing this it looks like they’re putting themselves into a torture device I would be afraid to look at them that they were doing and they couldn’t look at Gino’s do you hear all right I found this other device is related in the article called the ostrich pillow now this thing started on Kickstarter and I’m gonna go ahead and tell you that they wanted to raise $70,000 and they raised almost $200,000 they reached their goal but this is happening but you judge for yourself so let their video is like really well polished really well done and I but maybe they’re compensating for you’re not being facetious about this one I am NOT let’s watch it hi we’re studio KT now he created perfect companion tonight pretty much anything bit for an express planner work this is a joke right right I well wrong I was definitely thinking at this point this has got to be a joke this is not a joke there was not launched on April 1st it was launched on September 18th this is for real [Music] increases productivity by 34% I love the fact that the guy who is talking about the product looks like he’s about to bust out laughing at any moment are you getting that from that guy yeah it makes me thinking I’m being punked do you know that we’re going to raise two hundred but you keep watching it it starts to look awesome we spend so much time at work in front of the screen or in transit and we thought when create something that helps us now disconnect and dream [Music] all you have to do is find a place to nap slip on the ostrich pillow and you’re set to go what are the hand holes for what are the hand holes for like what’s happening in there you like putting your hands or putting your fingers in your ears yeah that’s what is for I don’t know what is for is just so you can are you doing this inside it looks like the hands are still up here it doesn’t look like the hands are in front of the face can you it and just can you imagine waiting to get on a plane wait and there’s someone next to you with this being on there I would think this guy is like a federal prisoner and whereas the guy that’s supposed to be escorted you know like this guy’s obviously a danger to himself and others therefore he has a padded helmet on you know we’re like a spit guard on it but it looks so comfortable at the same time III think it can still catch on like wow I think he makes $200,000 doesn’t lie makes you look like et the thing that I would be concerned about if I was wearing one of these is that it almost invites strangers to come up to you and just punch you in the head did you know that yeah your head looks like a punching bag and you kick your eyes are covered now I wouldn’t wear this in public because again we’ve established that I’m too self-conscious to do things like this in public I guess there are people who would be willing to wear it however I would definitely put this thing on in my house to block out my family like just walking around yeah I would be this like kids leave me alone I’ve got the ostrich head on he be walking around like this though you couldn’t see no I would be just like only couch with it on my kids could be throwing stuff at me I wouldn’t know it but I think that this thing is worth being funded they should have they they should have funded it and called it the isolation pillow not the Asik well I guess the ostrich pillow makes sense but it shouldn’t be wearing this in public there shouldn’t be shots of dudes and on a plane or in an airport there should be dads on the couch would like 15 kids running around him and he just like on the couch totally asleep with this huge pillow on his head I think then that then they would sell a bunch of them I think that’s a good idea I just I want to get one of these I really do and I would wear it in public I would do it well you would travel alone we would we would go on separate planes I feel like I am NOT with this car or I would have to dress up like a marshal and have you in handcuffs no no I’m gonna be like this is my prisoner I almost feel like I would be wearing like a dog collar with like a change or something just need to be something really he’s totally harmless he can’t headbutt you what else you got I got an honorable mention here maybe you guys have heard of this one the Snuggie no just kidding this is like the Snuggie just exponentially upped and then just packaged into a pillow for your head okay the hoodie pillow it’s a pillow with a with the hood why in the world would you need that well I was just talking in a previous episode about wearing a ski mask when I was sleeping this is pretty much the same thing this doesn’t cover your eyes it’s just like it’s well it’s a hood on a pillow it’s pretty straightforward you don’t get it I don’t know I don’t have the need to be on I think this is this is this is moving into list just just cute territory I would be afraid that I you know how much I move around at night if I had a hoodie on that was attached to my pillow I probably do like a seven or eight corkscrews I would wake up I’ve choked myself to death you know I wrapped the pillow around my neck and then I wake up and I’m coping with mom wife wife finds me cold you know too cold to the touch but I’ve got with the hoodie on that’s no good all right let us know in the comments what you think of these and we know you’re all gonna want the ostrich pillow because money doesn’t lie and people they’ve raised that money so I want to know about the people who would get the other tip you let me know in the comments and we’ll go from there I’m not gonna buy you one or anything but I’m definitely interested in that and being heard but okay I gotta give them the exhauster two pillows well I know our p.o box well I do think we should be doing more power napping here you know maybe that’s what did I land on but it didn’t it links stops talking he will explode oh my goodness I cannot stop talking so I’m gonna keep talking and I’m gonna never stop talking because if I do I will explode and I just want to explain that to you that I just can’t I’m even afraid to take a breath because I don’t want to expose me I think there was a movie about this what what what I can’t stop talking just talk there is an early loss of schnapps the last it’s time tomorrow it’ll be on Craigslist
