thanks. or should i say thanks! i wanna convey excitement while also not sounding like an email where you're desperate to let the other person know you're not in a bad mood; in fact, you're excited to be working together.

People buying random products on the internet has quickly become one of my favorite RUclips genres, okay maybe just this video and Drew Goodens.
This feels kind of unintentionally dangerous - they list pretty obvious symptoms of obstructive sleep apnea and then go cover your mouth with tape??? If youre experiencing what they mentioned, and you have sleep apnea, that might kill you
These were my thoughts exactly -- it would be must better to advise people to sleep in a better position with their chest/throat unobstructed and not on their back.
@@lucy9518 exactly! It's also worth noting there are products specifically for sleep apnea designed to prevent mouth breathing at night - my CPAP machine and mask came with an elastic head strap to keep my jaw shut, and I had to actively ask my supplier to stop sending me one (since I don't require it). If you suspect sleep apnea, the better option will ALWAYS be trying to get a sleep study. Yes, it is expensive, but with most insurance, it's gonna be cheaper than a years supply of this shitty KT tape, and you'll actually know what's wrong.
Not just sleep apnea too, I have a heavily deviated septum and chronically runny nose (and some other stuff) - I often breathe through my mouth in my sleep and in general cuz I can't get enough air through my nose (your nostrils take turns being the dominant one, so the my deviated septum blocks one side) - breathing through your mouth is the your body's back up plan cuz while its maybe not the most ideal, its way better than not breathing at all
@@xmidseptemberqueenxright I have pretty bad rhinitis if you tape my mouth on the wrong day I'm not waking up...
Yeah, sleep apnea and other issues causing snoring and interrupted sleep are deeper than tape. Like, that seems pretty obvious to me. If I have a chronic disease or issue of some kind, I’m not gonna trust some random ass “home remedy” ahh product from social media. Like I could have a disease and I’m not going to buy some hokey product to fix my problems lol. Also, like what if my body just decided to start trying to breathe thru my mouth while I’m asleep with this tape and I just asphyxiate to death?
i personally bought hostage tape so that a kidnapper would come into my room and think “whoops must’ve already gotten them”
THE STORY AT THE END. That was a rollercoaster. I gasped and held my hands to my face like it was out of a movie. Thank god you found your other AirPod because oh my GOD
I can't imagine the panic of waking up groggy and having your mouth be stuck closed before your brain remembers its tape LMFAO
LMAO you mentioning that being "forced" to take a nap sounds like chronic fatigue or long covid was so apropos cause when I heard that MY immediate reaction was "yeah, I hate when my body is so exhausted I have literally no option but to lay in bed. that's cause I've got chronic fatigue that was permanently worsened by long covid. crazy how that works"
every day is sleepy sunday when your body can't properly process the oxygen in your bloodstream
I'm a big fan of silent films and my favourite genre is the one where someone tapes up their mouth and sleeps for eight hours
I think the hostage tape is supposed to attract kidnappers, who hit you really hard over the head, and that’s how you get a good nights sleep.
Also I always thought AirPods would taste like tic tacs, can you confirm?
honestly a little bit! they've got a slightly metallic taste too
Harry is the spiders georg confirmed
New fear acquired: swallowing my air pods in my sleep 😨
2nd new fear: I will swallow an airpod awake if I don't actively stop myself ☠️
In case this helps anyone, here's my take on this topic:
1. Breathing through your nose is WAY better for you than breathing through your mouth.
2. If you already breathe through your nose, you probably won't feel any benefits from taping.
3. If you breathe through your mouth a lot, you might find taping makes a BIG difference to the quality of your sleep.
4. You don't need a purpose-made expensive product, micropore tape works fine. Fold an edge so you can peel it off easily.
I would still recommend to talk to a doctor beforehand though.
you know what's worse than breathing through your mouth tho... not breathing...
Add on; some people have chronic colds or bad hayfever. If you can't breathe through your nose you go for the mouth. This could literally be life threatening. I have a chronic cold and my friend told me i 'breathe hard' when sleeping, this tape be scary!
Omg the visual gag of “cis het man discovers bodily autonomy colorized” killed me stone cold dead.
cackling at "it was Moses that popularized sleepy sunday...its been a minute since I read the stone tablets" sleepy king 👑 😴
Hostage tape looks an awful lot like regular old KT tape lmao
yes! the adhesive pattern looks suspiciously like k tape, no way you'd want to put that over any body hair though lol
Oh, yeah, this company absolutely just sourced the exact same kind of tape cut into little ovals. That's all this is.
That “how do you do fellow kids” level description showing it’s age immediately talking about rock groupies and silent movies
wow, I can't believe Harry James Miller eats electronic devices for fun!
Omg thanks for the shoutout! So nice to talk to you as well, and you were great in the show!!
the DREAD I felt when he said he had a lump in his throat 😭
no way…. it can’t be……. THE harry james miller the famous viner?!?!?!?
my dad bought mouth tape for my mom and i think thats a bad sign for their marriage. sucks to suck i guess.
good video ! youre a funny guy.
As a previous theater kid who has sleep apnea, enjoys minecraft, and listens to clipping.. I've never felt like a more specific demographic for your content.
(Also, this product is good for people with sleep apnea who don't want to use a full face mask but are still mouth breathers. There's are def cheaper options that don't have such.. weird marketing lol. Would super suggest a sleep study if you haven't had one btw! I was diagnosed at 25 with OSA and totally wouldn't have thought it was my problem since I didn't fit the usual stereotype, but using a cpap has worked wonders for my energy during the day. I just use a silly looking full face mask instead of silly looking mouth tape, personally.)
I would personally not consider using this for my OSA - sleep suppliers have products for this already, why use something my insurance doesn't cover that won't be more effective than the elastic headgear to keep jaws shut, you know? I also recommended sleep studies in the comments because they are LIFE CHANGING, but if someone is a mouth breather + severe snoring, their sleep apnea is likely bad enough that I think this could endanger them by worsening their apneic events. You don't want to make it /harder/ to breathe, and they're advertising to snorers!
@@jehantiny_burn8869 Sorry my wording could have been better, I don't mean it's good for ALL people with sleep apnea, just that from my observation it's a common (not GOOD) tactic people use in that specific situation. (mouth breathing but wanting to use a nasal/partial mask instead of a full face mask). Some people swear by mouth taping for that situation, but I absolutely didn't mean to imply it's the go-to way or that I'd recommend this specific product, my bad on that, thank you!
Listening to your sleep doc and figuring out what is best for your personal health is the way to go! Appreciate you stressing the concerns!
Not about the topic of the video at all but I figure it'll help engagement and you needed to know: I love your pigeon poster!
that air pod story had me on the edge of my seat omg
I loved your bondage pirate cosplay
so pumped for our flag means death season 2
The hulk of the drama at 12:30 glitching and grabbing the video and holding the video hostage
I have been so freaked out by the ads and nobody wants to talk about them with me. I’m so excited to see you made a video 🔥😂
airpods georg....
"its a quick read but a heavy one" UNDERRATED
We appreciate your insights on this matter. You'll always have our support no matter what.
YES, HEHE YES, COVER THAT NIP HARRY DO IT FOR SCIENCE
the dre drexler reference is giving me life
Watching this instead of doing my political science homework 😁
Same!
thank you for making videos, you always make me happy :) 2023 IS HARRY JAMES MILLER YEAR!!!!!!
my friend DID actually eat a whole set of wireless headphones while asleep. two separate incidents. both the same type of headphones so the surviving headphones now make a full pair.
That Dick Cheney meme at 1:02 is just mmmmmmm *chefs kiss* splendid good show chap
your face after saying this was your job lmao
Pull the trigger on some hostages 😂
If the Hostage Tape didn't materialize a partner for you, seems like the jokes could. ;) Solidly funny - thank you!
Wow that first ad gave me a really visceral reaction
And you putting all the hostage tape on towards the end gave my cat a visceral reaction as he tried to claw it off your face. That AirPod story as well was absolutely wild. Love your channel!
The guy in that ad looks like so much like Folding Ideas its unnerving. Why is the RUclips video essayist folding ideas trying to tape my mouth shut? Can he please stop? I feel like I've walked through the secret passage in Coraline but instead of button eyes its mouth tape.
reminds me of those crunchy mom sketches
sleepy sunday summer
22:56 Harry goes full jaggalo 😂
hi harrison great video im glad i know more about your libido as a teenager
As someone with chronic fatigue im shocked no one has suggested this to me yet
your probably one of my favorite
I can safely say this is not what I was expecting to be watching today and I have no complaints.
as a fellow dangerously-good sleeper, can I just say: why the fuck am I still so tired all the time? I spend so much of my life asleep, and I can still barely stay awake? after 12+ hours?? seriously???
Worth looking into sleep apnea maybe 👀
@@maryellenparmenter9303 tested for it! no dice. my psychiatrist thinks I have a sleep disorder but any doctor I go to refuses to accept any answer other than "overweight woman with hysteria disorder"
Yeah I'm similar and I'm waiting for a sleep trial lol.
harry why didn’t you tell us you were friends with john f kennedy???
I mean actual hostage tape doesn’t work very well so making it work “better” isn’t the flex they think it is
26:08 WHAT
Did you end up trying to sleep with the normal sleep tape on?
it looks exactly like athletic tape
But do you snore, Harry? Do you snore?
Ayy there it is!
How about a CPAP?
With my chronicly obstructed nose due to allergies I would probably die if I did that 😅
lol at stone tablets joke
It kinda makes u look like one of the baseball gang guys in the warriors
Background music is too loud 😢
Why do they use the hot topic font
Im pretty certain that the product description was written by an AI haha
it’s just. KT tape right.
Is that Dan Olsen in the ad?
OMG it's not but i see the resemblance
@@harryjamesmiller Yeah I know he wouldn't stoop so low 🤣🤣
i have actually woken up with one of my airpods in my mouth. Not very fun xd.
Share your Letterboxd!
23:39 you kind of look like one of the original cybermen in doctor who
Edit: are there ever going to be any more episodes of the podcast? I really enjoyed it so it would be a shame if it was over, but I completely understand if you guys are just not able to or don’t want to anymore
i think so! eli and i have had really opposite schedules right now, which means we haven't even really been able to hang out as much. it looks like that's going to change, and when it does i think we'll be back to our antics. we both miss it and have talked about bringing it back so hopefully it happens soon
I love your videos but the background music is making me want to peel off my skin like hostage tape.
Why can't they just brush their teeth and floss?
❤
hi trevor
This video was actually hilarious to me?? Why does it have so few views??
Erling Håland subscribes🇳🇴 😷⚽🥅
definitely a silly video
Why is this a gendered product...?
Ive been seeing this ad on insta its messed up the owner replied to me & made it seem like everyone should be doin this
Whens the next choices video🤨
my asian grandma did this to us as kids to make sure we turned out beautiful. swore by it
Unless you’re making a joke and I just can’t tell I will say that she’s onto something. I read once that mouth breathing can lead to poor jaw formation (which I believe since me and my sister spent our entire childhood breathing mostly through our mouths and she needed jaw surgery and I just have a soft jawline)
@sari9645 as time marches on the more and more I realize that all the old wives tales and granny cures are powerful, experience-based practical magic
