Pillow Guy

Anyone else sick of this con artist? Now he has a book he wants you to buy. I slept on one of his pillows, felt like I was sleeping on a pillowcase stuffed with cotton.
The best part of his hundred million dollar scheme was to make 50,000 mask for covid-19 medical workers and in return Trump sends him to the podium to spend 5 minutes in front of the whole country touting his pillow. Oh, he didn't outright advertise, only mentioned "my pillow" about 30 times in his honor of donation. The mask couldn't have set him back over a buck apiece (including labor). He spends a fortune advertising (you'd lose count the number of times he appears on Fox-News daily), he's an auto-mute in my house. He's been sued for deceptive trade practices. One in 2016 for a million dollars.
Amazing the pillow-guy (I refuse to use his real name) has yet to run his crooked course. We'll see how his dumb book sells.

Personally, I find "pillow guy" to be a narcissistic boor.
Fourteen N.D.E.s - Yeah sure.
Having said that I'll give him credit for building his own company and, if he really was a crack cocaine addict, good on him for overcoming it.
My wife bought his pillow and liked it. (I've never tried it.)
Otherwise, he really is an insufferable blowhard to listen to.

My wife and I thinks he is a con artist.

Pillows only have one good thing going for it. Made in America.

Other than that. It’s overpriced garbage.

Listen to him quote his book during the commercial.

I reached my bottom, it was the end, I was going to die right there on the streets of Mexico, just a simple article in the newspaper; A Tourist went missing

Personally for me, I’ve written large articles with big headlines.

This way its one less thing I have to worry about as I lay there dying.

Rarely. If I’m at a bar. Not a big sports fan.

Maybe, you should stop listening to radio, too. How do you figure quoting Howard Stern, and in your signature, no less, somehow raises you up? The man is a pervert, and his opinions are perverted.

I don’t listen to Stern. I happened on this quote and liked it.
