The Consequences of Sleep-Related AirPod Mishaps: A Cautionary Tale

For many of us, sleep is a time to relax and recharge, but for some, it can also be a time of recklessness. In this article, we'll explore a series of unfortunate events related to sleep-related airpod mishaps that will leave you wondering what could have been done differently.

One story that stands out involves a man whose car was stolen while parked in his garage. The next day, the owner woke up to find that his car had not only been taken but also tracked down using Apple's AirTags feature. The thief, it turned out, had been targeting cars on their route and had used the airtags to locate the vehicle. While this might seem like an unusual tactic, the fact remains that the airtag technology proved effective in recovering the stolen car.

This experience has left many people rethinking their use of AirTags. One individual, who wished to remain anonymous, had several AirTags lying around without being utilized. Now, they're considering adding these devices to their daily routine, as having them on hand could potentially prevent similar situations from arising in the future. For example, if someone were to misplace their keys or other valuable items, an AirTag could be used to track them down.

The risks of sleep-related airpod mishaps are clear. In a bizarre incident involving a celebrity in the UK, a person swallowed their Apple Wireless Earbud, mistaking it for a vitamin pill. The earbud's stem bears some resemblance to a pill, and when combined with other medications in the pocket, it became almost impossible to distinguish from actual pills. Fortunately, the individual was able to expel the airpod without suffering any long-term damage.

However, not everyone is as fortunate. A TikTok user had previously admitted to mistaking an AirPod for ibuprofen, swallowing the device and even recording a voice memo while it was lodged in their stomach. The AirPod, despite being consumed, continued to function and allowed its owner to record the sounds from inside their digestive system.

These incidents serve as cautionary tales about the importance of exercising caution when using everyday objects like airpods during sleep. In many cases, our brains can play tricks on us, leading to unexpected outcomes. For instance, someone who listens to an audiobook before bed may become so engrossed in the story that they fail to remove their AirPods, only to find themselves drifting off to sleep with a device lodged in their ear.

As we consider our use of airpods while sleeping, it's essential to acknowledge the potential risks involved. In some cases, these devices can be easily misplaced or mistaken for other objects, leading to unintended consequences. It is crucial to prioritize caution and take steps to mitigate these risks.

For those looking to explore new features on their iPads, there are many accessories available that can enhance your experience. From styluses to cases, a wide range of options exist to help you get the most out of your device.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhey it's chris this is the brand new pataka flipbook case for the ipad we're gonna unbox it and after that we're gonna continue the discussion talking about whether or not anybody out there should actually consider buying that m2 13-inch macbook pro and more so pataka just came out with this flipbook case for the ipad and they describe it as a to-go sleeve that opens and closes with the ipad pro and magic keyboard like a book which is kind of funny because it doesn't look like a sleeve when you're just looking at the box or pictures online does it so the features here are supposed to be easy opening and closing got a minimalist style holds all your essentials and it's made out of premium materials but as far as i'm concerned it's really the handle on top that makes or breaks this thing because one thing i've never done is wake up and say you know what my ipad really could use is a handle but that doesn't really mean anything because henry ford is famous for the quote where he's like if i'd asked people what they wanted they would have told me a faster horse well there's that handle front and center and i think the idea here really is this you can ditch the bag that you might otherwise have to bring with you keep the portability and the ability to still bring a few things with you your everyday carry items maybe along with your ipad but if you don't have to bring a bag then why would you so this is gonna sit in there this is going to wrap around and then these are magnetic very cool but of course as you can see we have some film that we have to peel off here so the way that this is going to operate is by some sticky adhesive probably not the end of the world because i think anything's going to peel right off of this without being too much of a problem but as soon as you remove this protective film here there goes the warranty now as i'm setting this up you're gonna notice i'm just installing this right on top of my magic keyboard that's right it works with your magic keyboard and i love that because i love accessories that work with the magic keyboard i'll link up a few others that i've covered recently down in the description for you to check out too alright so i got that installed and you're gonna be like chris this looks a little goofy obviously this would look better if you had the black magic keyboard on here i didn't see an option to get a white uh color here to match but honestly that's all right i kind of like the stormtrooper look here so i'm not really hating it now already i'm seeing that there's a little cutout here for your camera and yeah you can actually open that i think it's supposed to be magnetic but it actually doesn't stick all that well so that magnet could be a little stronger there we go it's actually sticking a little better there so 99 of people out there really don't make much use of the ipad camera right that's probably overdoing it but for those of you that do there you go you keep it protected but you can still use it now this is where your extra storage is going to come from right you got this carbon fiber covered portion here it's like an expandable pocket you can pull that out a little bit and it's just a zipper here so you can zip that open and you could actually fit a decent amount of stuff in here like it might be a little thicker than a pack of playing cards all right so let's just do this i got a few things here that i might want to take with me i got some super chunky beats earbuds i love these things all right those fit but wow that's a stretch there let's see if i can even zip this thing shut oh there we go they fit it's a little bit bulgy but it does fit all right mission accomplished there what about your phone if you just want to bring a phone now i got a spec case on here it's not the biggest case in the world it's not the thinnest all right that should easily fit absolutely and what about your wallet i got a ridge wallet here that's my actual wallet and that's no problem at all and then you know if i'm going somewhere i'm likely to bring a magic mouse maybe i like a magic mouse with me that's easily going to fit in here and then you can fit any number of different combinations of similar items not a problem uh-oh one thing i'm noticing though is that this orange lining right here it's getting a little bit chewed up already so you know this is a first gem product right and i think that's one thing the team's definitely gonna have to work on here it's already showing some wear i mean i don't even know how that happened i just took this thing out and that's what it looks like which i think is unfortunate because the rest of the materials seem to be pretty high quality this is leather that looks good feels good the stitching seems good this is carbon fiber here it's nice and tough not going to get messed up but it looks like that orange strip there not made out of the best material all right so i got a handle here now i kind of turned my ipad into a briefcase definitely looks kind of business especially if you match it with the all dark the black here the handle makes a little bit of noise when you're carrying it let me see if i can get that noise right can you hear that but it seems solid i don't think i'd be worried at all about the ipad slipping out or anything but the real question is what is it like to use your ipad with this on that's my main question the second i saw this it was like okay so you open this up and oh great i realize i just installed this first this is why you read the directions it's a little wobbly here i think that's my fault not the product's fault because i can already tell these are supposed to go back here probably to balance everything out have four points of contact and keep that from wobbling so that's my fault all right let me see if i can fix that i'm just gonna move this back when in doubt read instructions all right so let's try this out now there we go uh definitely not wobbling now so there we go fix that all right but look at this the handle here is just sitting out you can't tuck it under because then you are gonna get some wobble it has to stay facing you facing out now the question is does it get in the way and i would say actually no it doesn't um you know i can feel it it's almost like a palm rest except it's not it's not far enough back to be a palm rest so uh but the thing i can say is it doesn't really get in the way i mean i can use everything i can type here and it's not a big deal and i mean it looks like everything else stays out of the way just fine you know your apple pencil remains accessible so if you're an apple pencil user and you've got the paper-like screen protector on like i do then you got the magic keyboard which is a must-have for a lot of people if you're serious about getting certain types of work done you have to have the magic keyboard it's just what works best so maybe for some people this is like the ultimate combination forget the bag and when it's time to pack up and get out of here boom it shuts magnets closed and you're out of there that's a quick escape i guess my main question here really is is this thing worth 89 and by the way it looks like suspenders for your ipad sort of right and again it would blend in better with the black magic keyboard but 89 for this thing it's actually hard to categorize because it's not really a sleeve it's definitely not a bag that this fits into it's really just some leather that sticks to your ipad and gives you some extra storage i don't know i guess it mostly is going to come down to do you like the looks because i think the functionality is very different and unique from anything else i've seen out there and it's pretty cool to be able to i think i could take with me if i'm going to a meeting or a coffee shop i think i could bring everything i would want in that pocket between that and my actual pockets i think i'd be good to go so it's just a matter of do you feel like a dork with this or if you do who cares you know if it works for you i think this is actually pretty cool i will say they really went with a business vibe here like a business feel this doesn't seem casual right so i think it really would make the most sense in a business environment but if you have some place to be and you want to bring the bare minimum essentials with you and ditch the bag what a cool accessory i'll link it up down in the description if you want to actually check it out check me out all right it's always fun to explore a new ipad accessory but i'm not ready to stop hanging out yet so it's time to go the extra mile well here's something should anybody and i mean anybody be buying the m2 13-inch macbook pro because if you want a macbook pro with the m2 chip right now you have to get the new 13-inch that's the only thing that has it you can't get a 14 or a 16-inch macbook pro with the m2 chip inside so a lot of people are gonna be like well that one is the one that has the m2 i have to default to that that's the one i gotta get well hold on a second well this is actually really interesting to me okay because a while back seems like a long time ago now i placed an order for a 14 inch m1 max macbook pro but in between the time i placed that and the thing arriving hasn't arrived yet it's been like i don't know almost two months maybe it's supposed to come on friday by the way in between that time apple announced this 13 inch with the m2 chip and my initial reaction was maybe i should cancel my order and grab this one instead and by the way it's never a good time to buy a mac it seems like because without the apple silicon they're just pumping out new macs one after another and honestly you can just start the regret timer the second you unbox that thing because it's not gonna be too long before the next one comes out but you can't really complain about it because they're all so good but i'm digressing but anyways i was like should i cancel my order and get that instead and i thought about it and i looked at stuff and i didn't cancel my order and that's what i want to talk about i think renee's cheat sheet tweet here really summarizes things like why i haven't canceled you go with the m2 for a faster single core and you go with the m1 pro or max for more gpu cores and heavier workloads and also double the media engines with the max exactly and i really feel like this conversation centers more on is that 13-inch really all that pro in the first place or have things evolved to the point where they really just need to retire it and get rid of it if i'm buying something that's labeled pro i have workhorse tasks in mind there's a small group of people out there who are like pro that's like top of the line and i just want to have top of the line so i'm going to get the pro but even then you're you're getting a good computer like don't get me wrong 13-inch if you're upgrading from anything that's in intel and you upgraded 13-inch m2 that's going to be a great computer and that's not just a small little incremental upgrade for you you know it's going to be really really good but for people out there who are definitely for people that have anything with an m1 in it it's going to be a much smaller upgrade so look aside from getting only four terabytes of storage instead of maxing that out i maxed out everything else about the 14 inch m1 max right the macbook pro the max chip max it out and that is going to serve me better even though that's old it's been around for a while right it's been on order forever still hasn't even come that's going to serve me with my workflow better than the new m2 chip and on top of that i'm gonna have the latest design right so the m2 it's almost like apple's like hey we got some more of these chassis laying around let's just stick the new chip in and get those out the door kind of like clean out the warehouse i don't know if that has anything to do with how they actually made a decision i mean i'm sure not but it almost seems like that right because it's the old design you're not getting the newest macbook pro design here and that design is really nice you're not getting the touch bar right so so maybe if you like the touch bar if you love the touch bar then the m2 13-inch really makes a lot of sense for you and by the way before you're like who is that when i made a touch bar video about tips for the touch bar that thing is still getting lots of views and i get lots of comments don't watch it by the way because it has some weird camera angles and people kind of freak out which is probably just going to make you go watch it get a lot of comments about that too but people are like i love the touch bar i wish apple didn't get rid of it because i really like it so there are people out there that like it and if they do here's like your last chance to get a good computer with that in it but here's my question for anybody that's looking seriously at getting the 13-inch with the m2 are you just mostly interested in saving money because i think a lot of people that's probably where they're landing they're like i want this pro but i also want to save some dollars right if that's the case i honestly think most of you will probably be better served with the new air that's got the m2 great design looks really cool some new features that's the direction i would head because the other side of the coin is not saving money but saving time and at some point you know especially if this is a professional workflow for you and you're buying this thing for your job and it's going to earn you money then it comes down to saving time so with multiple gpus and cores and stuff and being able lots of memory you know the ram to do more tasks at one time it opens up new workflows instead of just concentrating on one singular thing basically over on the m2 13 inch that you just can't do otherwise and so if you're trying to save money i would just consider downgrading but really be an upgrade i feel like an upgrade to me to the air if you're really interested in saving time and being more efficient and the money is less of an issue absolutely go for the 14 and 16 inch even though they don't have the new m2 now the m2 is coming for the bigger sizes 1460 and it sounds like 15 which would be interesting and so if you can wait that's great but for me it seems like that 13 inch is really pro in name only so if you're confused about whether or not you should get that 13 inch i would say don't just don't because if you're a real power user you know that's not going to do it for you and you need real power and you're going to get the 14 or 16. all right do you remember air tags it's been a while since i've talked about them on the channel i've got a bunch laying around i think i got four sitting around here but i haven't really paid much attention to them ever since i ordered them i made a video about it and they just kind of sat around i guess i got one on my keychain and i got one you know stash in my wallet uh but i haven't really thought about them i haven't used them for anything i guess that's good i haven't lost anything that i need to track down but here's an interesting story i came across air tags have now helped a toronto man track down his stolen range rover so this person had a range rover that was already stolen like a month prior to this and they ended up getting a new one because i don't think they ever recovered the old range rover it doesn't sound like and why is that why was it never recovered well you're like range rover doesn't that have built-in theft protection and tracking well the thief was able to disarm that so that wasn't a factor and when the thief got in they threw out a bunch of stuff phone wallet anything they thought might be trackable traceable maybe they thought hey maybe this has an air tag in it right they threw all that stuff out disabled the tracking that was built in and got away and what's interesting is it says that thieves were also able to steal the car despite him having placed his keys in a faraday box i don't know what that is which prevents criminals from remotely copying a key fob and mimicking the signal to unlock the car faraday box i gotta look that up really quick okay so a faraday cage or a faraday shield is an enclosure used to block electromagnetic fields a faraday shield may be formed by continuous covering of conductive material so yada yada okay blocks electric signals but even then these were too good they got a hold of it and so he gets a second one and he puts air tags all around he put an air tag in the glove box he put one inside the spare tire he put one under the back seat so he put three in there he was like this is not happening again so the suv was parked away from the garage and then the next day uh the guy wakes up and his kid is shouting daddy daddy your car's gone if this is the second time your range got picked off what would you be thinking obviously these people are targeting this like on their route or something but you'd be like again what are the chances but thanks to the air tags he was now able to use find my to follow the car to a metal recycling plant and then he tries to call law enforcement but he can't get a hold of him so instead of interacting with thieves which is not a good idea probably he drives to the police department and then the next day they told him they recovered nine cars so this one person's air tags were able to save actually a bunch of people's cars so this kind of has me rethinking my whole air tag strategy i've had a couple literally just sitting around that i've never done anything with i might as well just throw those in the car right then it's like you got to go to the trouble of renaming them unless uh they'd be driving around be called like chris's keys or something either way you know it has me rethinking using them because you don't need to tell you do and then futurechrist is able to look back to pass chris and be like hey thanks thanks for sticking that in the car there uh yeah hair tags maybe handier than i thought okay before we get into this next story here can i just submit something to you many times i've gone to sleep with an airpod in my ear i know that's not good because i've already read about the person who swallowed an airpod while they were sleeping but sometimes i listen to like an audiobook or something while i'm drifting off and this story is interesting to me because somebody swallowed their air pods because they thought it was a vitamin or a pill which at first you're like really who would mix those up but as we get into the story you'll be like oh yeah maybe that could have happened so a celebrity in the uk accidentally swallowed their airpod on sunday mistakenly consuming the apple wireless earbud along with their vitamins as you're looking at this picture here it's obviously the stem that would fake you out here i mean the whole airpod is fairly small but bigger than a pill but the stem almost looks like a pill by itself and if you've got all these pills in your pocket which is what happened the person reaching their pocket and just kind of gulp down the whole pile there airpods included weird things happen in life people do things so differently and you never know what scenario is gonna pop up so uh the person who swallowed them said they don't recommend it uh she didn't end up going to the hospital because she actually ended up throwing them up and oddly enough somebody asked her if they were still working and she said yes but quote it smells of sick that was that's what she said so uh yuck right she was able to throw the thing back up but she said her throat was really sore afterwards well yeah it's like a horse pill and this has happened before somebody in november a tick-tock user admitted to having mistaken an airpod for ibuprofen swallowed it and even though the thing was consumed swear to be talking about an airpod that was consumed but it was consumed that still worked too in fact that one recorded a voice memo with some gurgling sounds inside the stomach so you know what airpods are pretty tough now the person who was sleeping and swallowed the airpod i was playing with fire there i know i shouldn't be doing that they had to go to the emergency room so this absolutely has me rethinking whether or not i should be sleeping with the airpods i don't try to you know sometimes just listen a little bit and take it out and go to sleep and the reason is i don't want to wake up my wife right by having it just blaring on the speaker any chance for the airpod to go down the hatch yeah i don't know well thanks for hanging out with me for this video hopefully you guys found something that you might like if not it's just kind of interesting to see what all is out there for the ipad right i'm going to link up some of my other ipad accessory videos for you down in the description because i've covered a lot and if you're looking for some new fun to be had or add some new life to your ipad you should check those out otherwise don't forget to check out our wallpapers those are linked up for you check us out on the podcast that comes out on fridays that's like some behind the scenes looks at things and don't forget we're on twitter and instagram as well it's at daily tech spell daily tekk in both of those places and i'll catch you guys in the next video laterhey it's chris this is the brand new pataka flipbook case for the ipad we're gonna unbox it and after that we're gonna continue the discussion talking about whether or not anybody out there should actually consider buying that m2 13-inch macbook pro and more so pataka just came out with this flipbook case for the ipad and they describe it as a to-go sleeve that opens and closes with the ipad pro and magic keyboard like a book which is kind of funny because it doesn't look like a sleeve when you're just looking at the box or pictures online does it so the features here are supposed to be easy opening and closing got a minimalist style holds all your essentials and it's made out of premium materials but as far as i'm concerned it's really the handle on top that makes or breaks this thing because one thing i've never done is wake up and say you know what my ipad really could use is a handle but that doesn't really mean anything because henry ford is famous for the quote where he's like if i'd asked people what they wanted they would have told me a faster horse well there's that handle front and center and i think the idea here really is this you can ditch the bag that you might otherwise have to bring with you keep the portability and the ability to still bring a few things with you your everyday carry items maybe along with your ipad but if you don't have to bring a bag then why would you so this is gonna sit in there this is going to wrap around and then these are magnetic very cool but of course as you can see we have some film that we have to peel off here so the way that this is going to operate is by some sticky adhesive probably not the end of the world because i think anything's going to peel right off of this without being too much of a problem but as soon as you remove this protective film here there goes the warranty now as i'm setting this up you're gonna notice i'm just installing this right on top of my magic keyboard that's right it works with your magic keyboard and i love that because i love accessories that work with the magic keyboard i'll link up a few others that i've covered recently down in the description for you to check out too alright so i got that installed and you're gonna be like chris this looks a little goofy obviously this would look better if you had the black magic keyboard on here i didn't see an option to get a white uh color here to match but honestly that's all right i kind of like the stormtrooper look here so i'm not really hating it now already i'm seeing that there's a little cutout here for your camera and yeah you can actually open that i think it's supposed to be magnetic but it actually doesn't stick all that well so that magnet could be a little stronger there we go it's actually sticking a little better there so 99 of people out there really don't make much use of the ipad camera right that's probably overdoing it but for those of you that do there you go you keep it protected but you can still use it now this is where your extra storage is going to come from right you got this carbon fiber covered portion here it's like an expandable pocket you can pull that out a little bit and it's just a zipper here so you can zip that open and you could actually fit a decent amount of stuff in here like it might be a little thicker than a pack of playing cards all right so let's just do this i got a few things here that i might want to take with me i got some super chunky beats earbuds i love these things all right those fit but wow that's a stretch there let's see if i can even zip this thing shut oh there we go they

down in the description if you want to actually check it out check me out all right it's always fun to explore a new ipad accessory but i'm not ready to stop hanging out yet so it's time to go the extra mile well here's something should anybody and i mean anybody be buying the m2 13-inch macbook pro because if you want a macbook pro with the m2 chip right now you have to get the new 13-inch

thought about it and i looked at stuff and i didn't cancel my order and that's what i want to talk about i think renee's cheat sheet tweet here really summarizes things like why i haven't canceled you go with the m2 for a faster single core and you go with the m1 pro or max for more gpu cores and heavier workloads and also double the media engines with the max exactly and i really feel like this conversation centers more on is that 13-inch really all that pro in the first place or have things evolved to the point where they really just need to retire it and get rid of it if i'm buying something that's labeled pro i have workhorse tasks in mind there's a small group of people out there who are like pro that's like top of the line and i just want to have top of the line so i'm going to get the pro but even then you're you're getting a good computer like don't get me wrong 13-inch if you're upgrading from anything that's in intel and you upgraded 13-inch m2 that's going to be a great computer and that's not just a small little incremental upgrade for you you know it's going to be really really good but for people out there who are definitely for people that have anything with an m1 in it it's going to be a much smaller upgrade so look aside from getting only four terabytes of storage instead of maxing that out i maxed out everything else about the 14 inch m1 max right the macbook pro the max chip max it out and that is going to serve me better even though that's old it's been around for a while right it's been on order forever still hasn't even come that's going to serve me with my workflow better than the new m2 chip and on top of that i'm gonna have the latest design right so the m2 it's almost like apple's like hey we got some more of these chassis laying around let's just stick the new chip in and get those out the door kind of like clean out the warehouse i don't know if that has anything to do with how they actually made a decision i mean i'm sure not but it almost seems like that right because it's the old design you're not getting the newest macbook pro design here and that design is really nice you're not getting the touch bar right so so maybe if you like the touch bar if you love the touch bar then the m2 13-inch really makes a lot of sense for you and by the way before you're like who is that when i made a touch bar video about tips for the touch bar that thing is still getting lots of views and i get lots of comments don't watch it by the way because it has some weird camera angles and people kind of freak out which is probably just going to make you go watch it get a lot of comments about that too but people are like i love the touch bar i wish apple didn't get rid of it because i really like it so there are people out there that like it and if they do here's like your last chance to get a good computer with that in it but here's my question for anybody that's looking seriously at getting the 13-inch with the m2 are you just mostly interested in saving money because i think a lot of people that's probably where they're landing they're like i want this pro but i also want to save some dollars right if that's the case i honestly think most of you will probably be better served with the new air that's got the m2 great design looks really cool some new features that's the direction i would head because the other side of the coin is not saving money but saving time and at some point you know especially if this is a professional workflow for you and you're buying this thing for your job and it's going to earn you money then it comes down to saving time so with multiple gpus and cores and stuff and being able lots of memory you know the ram to do more tasks at one time it opens up new workflows instead of just concentrating on one singular thing basically over on the m2 13 inch that you just can't do otherwise and so if you're trying to save money i would just consider downgrading but really be an upgrade i feel like an upgrade to me to the air if you're really interested in saving time and being more efficient and the money is less of an issue absolutely go for the 14 and 16 inch even though they don't have the new m2 now the m2 is coming for the bigger sizes 1460 and it sounds like 15 which would be interesting and so if you can wait that's great but for me it seems like that 13 inch is really pro in name only so if you're confused about whether or not you should get that 13 inch i would say don't just don't because if you're a real power user you know that's not going to do it for you and you need real power and you're going to get the 14 or 16. all right do you remember air tags it's been a while since i've talked about them on the channel i've got a bunch laying around i think i got four sitting around here but i haven't really paid much attention to them ever since i ordered them i made a video about it and they just kind of sat around i guess i got one on my keychain and i got one you know stash in my wallet uh but i haven't really thought about them i haven't used them for anything i guess that's good i haven't lost anything that i need to track down but here's an interesting story i came across air tags have now helped a toronto man track down his stolen range rover so this person had a range rover that was already stolen like a month prior to this and they ended up getting a new one because i don't think they ever recovered the old range rover it doesn't sound like and why is that why was it never recovered well you're like range rover doesn't that have built-in theft protection and tracking well the thief was able to disarm that so that wasn't a factor and when the thief got in they threw out a bunch of stuff phone wallet anything they thought might be trackable traceable maybe they thought hey maybe this has an air tag in it right they threw all that stuff out disabled the tracking that was built in and got away and what's interesting is it says that thieves were also able to steal the car despite him having placed his keys in a faraday box i don't know what that is which prevents criminals from remotely copying a key fob and mimicking the signal to unlock the car faraday box i gotta look that up really quick okay so a faraday cage or a faraday shield is an enclosure used to block electromagnetic fields a faraday shield may be formed by continuous covering of conductive material so yada yada okay blocks electric signals but even then these were too good they got a hold of it and so he gets a second one and he puts air tags all around he put an air tag in the glove box he put one inside the spare tire he put one under the back seat so he put three in there he was like this is not happening again so the suv was parked away from the garage and then the next day uh the guy wakes up and his kid is shouting daddy daddy your car's gone if this is the second time your range got picked off what would you be thinking obviously these people are targeting this like on their route or something but you'd be like again what are the chances but thanks to the air tags he was now able to use find my to follow the car to a metal recycling plant and then he tries to call law enforcement but he can't get a hold of him so instead of interacting with thieves which is not a good idea probably he drives to the police department and then the next day they told him they recovered nine cars so this one person's air tags were able to save actually a bunch of people's cars so this kind of has me rethinking my whole air tag strategy i've had a couple literally just sitting around that i've never done anything with i might as well just throw those in the car right then it's like you got to go to the trouble of renaming them unless uh they'd be driving around be called like chris's keys or something either way you know it has me rethinking using them because you don't need to tell you do and then futurechrist is able to look back to pass chris and be like hey thanks thanks for sticking that in the car there uh yeah hair tags maybe handier than i thought okay before we get into this next story here can i just submit something to you many times i've gone to sleep with an airpod in my ear i know that's not good because i've already read about the person who swallowed an airpod while they were sleeping but sometimes i listen to like an audiobook or something while i'm drifting off and this story is interesting to me because somebody swallowed their air pods because they thought it was a vitamin or a pill which at first you're like really who would mix those up but as we get into the story you'll be like oh yeah maybe that could have happened so a celebrity in the uk accidentally swallowed their airpod on sunday mistakenly consuming the apple wireless earbud along with their vitamins as you're looking at this picture here it's obviously the stem that would fake you out here i mean the whole airpod is fairly small but bigger than a pill but the stem almost looks like a pill by itself and if you've got all these pills in your pocket which is what happened the person reaching their pocket and just kind of gulp down the whole pile there airpods included weird things happen in life people do things so differently and you never know what scenario is gonna pop up so uh the person who swallowed them said they don't recommend it uh she didn't end up going to the hospital because she actually ended up throwing them up and oddly enough somebody asked her if they were still working and she said yes but quote it smells of sick that was that's what she said so uh yuck right she was able to throw the thing back up but she said her throat was really sore afterwards well yeah it's like a horse pill and this has happened before somebody in november a tick-tock user admitted to having mistaken an airpod for ibuprofen swallowed it and even though the thing was consumed swear to be talking about an airpod that was consumed but it was consumed that still worked too in fact that one recorded a voice memo with some gurgling sounds inside the stomach so you know what airpods are pretty tough now the person who was sleeping and swallowed the airpod i was playing with fire there i know i shouldn't be doing that they had to go to the emergency room so this absolutely has me rethinking whether or not i should be sleeping with the airpods i don't try to you know sometimes just listen a little bit and take it out and go to sleep and the reason is i don't want to wake up my wife right by having it just blaring on the speaker any chance for the airpod to go down the hatch yeah i don't know well thanks for hanging out with me for this video hopefully you guys found something that you might like if not it's just kind of interesting to see what all is out there for the ipad right i'm going to link up some of my other ipad accessory videos for you down in the
