I actually tried the Nura headphones. They were clearly a very cheap pair of headphones so I cancelled the subscription after like a week. I sent them back but they got lost in the mail or something and Nura hunted me down. They took my family and everything I loved. They took my house, not even bought my house they just took it; I came home one day and it was gone. They took my dog, I didn’t even have a dog. They said they won’t stop until they get the headphones back. I am so so scared.
I think this is justice. Those who stray from the way of the blesseth Nura deserve nothing less of holy punishment raining down upon their mortal flesh.

Are you sure you don't still have them in your ears and are listening to Country music?

I got those kizik shoes for my brother in law for Christmas. He’s had a brain tumor for about 15 years and his right side of his body is the most effected by the chemo and surgeries. These shoes are great for him because he can just pop them on and off without having to tie his shoes or ask my sister for help. They give him a sense of independence and I think that justifies the higher price in that instance 😊
thats great :)
I wear a similar brand but same idea because I can’t bend to put my shoes on. They’re amazing
I was thinking about getting a pair for my mom! She's elderly and has vertigo issues, so she needs a stable pair of shoes as to not trip. Thank you for your review!!

Chem teacher here: the shirt is most likely not made of a special fabric. It is coated in a substance that is hydrophobic. This means water cannot soak into the surface because it is coated in something like a protective "film". You usually have to get these kids of shirts (as well as wrinkle free dress shirts) dry cleaned for obvious reasons. Edit: also please don't drink out of it again, the stuff is body safe but not...inside of the body safe.
Like the stuff you spray shoes with?

For we must all appear before “the judgment seat of Christ, so that each of us may receive what is due us for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad.” (2 Corinthians 5:10)
We will be judged for every deed we do whether is be good or bad. This isn’t something to worry about even if our bad deeds out weigh our good. Because none are good before God, all have sinned against Him and cursed His name, but He in His tender loving mercy hath given us His Son as our ransom. When Jesus was dying all of Gods wrath and judgement was poured out onto Him even though He was sinless. He was sacrificed and tortured on our behalf though we are sinful and carnal. Christ payed our sin debt with His perfect sinless blood so we may escape judgment and have everlasting life. But this great gift is only for those who accept it and accept Him ❤️

Lmao yea. Like what is taking legal action going to do when you press chargers for something worth 20$?
The worst part is that since you have to give them a police report for them to accept that the earbuds were stolen, they could legally press charges against you if the earbuds were stolen and you just weren't able to provide a police report, and you're fully agreeing to that by accepting the TOS. Wow.

The earbuds thing is ridiculous. There’s a kinda frightening trend of everything becoming subscription-based, like phones that I have to lease from my carrier. I hate it so much
Yep, because they know that paying less over a long period is still more enticing than a one-and-done fee. Then you get roped in; it’s so dystopian.
@Daxrcy Did you watch the video? The earbud company will deactivate them when you stop paying and “may pursue legal action” 😂
@Daxrcy But why would someone do that? You just wasted $10 on some earbuds that you can't keep. It doesn't matter if you cancel the subscription they still get $10 out of you. It would be more smart to just buy some earbuds you can actually keep.
Btw multiple car companies have started doing similar tactics. Companies like Tesla, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and even Toyota have tried to make certain features subscription-based and remotely deactivate the feature if you stop paying. They range from small stuff like auto-start on a key fob to bigger features like heated seats or even Autopilot in Tesla's case.

My disability makes bending down to tie my shoes pretty difficult, so I can see why those slip on ones could be pretty useful. It does bother me that the price is pretty high though, because it makes them a lot less accessible
There are similar products around. I bought shoes that do the same thing from just a regular store for 30 bucks. They've lasted me for a year already without any signs of damage.
LMFAO
U can get these rubber elastic things that replace laces on shoes. They use them in triathlons to put on running shows faster and might help you but I’ve never used them.
@@pap-fri dont think they r joking or maybe they r idk
There's a few devices to get socks on easier without bending. As for shoes, you could buy shoes that have a little loop on the back heel, then using something long with a hook you can pull back on that while putting on the shoe.
You could also get a long shoehorn. My father had one and I still use it.
Having hurt my back several times I know how difficult that can be for a person.
Hope this helps. ❤️

I actually, and I actually mean actually, almost died when he opened the hair products box. I laughed so hard that I couldn't breathe. I couldn't force myself to take a breathe. Literally little spots were showing up in my vision.
Also, since it was probably some mix up at a factory or something like that, imagine the confusion for whoever got the two things of cbd tape.
On 2 separate occasions, Amazon (or more accurately, UPS) has completely swapped entirely unrelated products. My family ordered a mattress and got a cheap piano keyboard instead. Safe to say that was returned and the correct item was sent after, but it's not like those are even similar sizes, let alone similar products. At least the box size matched up enough for the comedic reveal.
Highly recommend reporting the scams to the FTC. You definitely won't get your money back but the people making money off of it will be forced to find a different scam. Not a perfect solution but better than just reporting the maybe hacked Twitter account, idk

Drew being so excited by shoes that do a really insignificant task is so wholesome.
Plus the shoes do the same thing that literally any pair of shoes can do, I haven’t tied my shoes in months because I just slip them on and off and they’re just random shoes from Walmart that cost a lot less than his special shoes lol

I bought a sticker from an Instagram ad that makes my credit card look like a Charmander Pokemon card. Came from Australia. I've received several compliments. I feel like I've done exceptionally well with my Instagram ad purchases.
The price is high, but I could see the shoes being good for people with a limited mobility. It’s sad that a lot of these products get pushed off due to seeming “lazy”, but it’s nice to see that they actually seem like decent shoes.
That’s true :) I didn’t think about that… people who have to manage their energy very carefully might also appreciate those.
It's the same with 'as seen on tv' stuff
It's like "lmao this shit's so goofy"; but a lot of it was originally made for people with disabilities. For example, Snuggies were originally made for people in wheelchairs. It's just that they have to advertise it like something kooky and fun in order to sell it and make money off the general population :y
So true! Like pre-chopped veggies - game changers for people with poor dexterity, but able people just think it’s about being lazy. Unfortunately these things are priced higher than their counterparts, it’s like insult added to injury ☹️
a lot of disability aids are presented as ~just a silly helpful little item~ to avoid all the extra costs and taxes put on actual medical items. on the other hand this might mean they're not as regulated. fortunately most of the items i've seen don't seem actively harmful anyway

The expert timing of that ad right after you said "not everything has to be an ad". Classic
The shirt is coated with hydrophobic coating. You can basically do this with any of your shirts with some hydrophobic spray which is often used to make boots waterproof because that's actually something that makes sense to have waterproof. The coating eventually comes off after a while.

Paying 5 dollars forever for a pair of headphones is INSANE.

Why subscribe for one single product and that's it? That's so bizarre and your reaction was spot on lol I hope that doesn't catch on and more companies don't use that idea because that's actually so unfair on so many levels.
I just read an article saying that car manufacturers want to start experimenting with "subscribable" features in new cars. Like if you want your phone to use bluetooth to pair with the car when you get in it? $5.00/mo. Want a lane sensor? $20.00/mo. I'm imagining them asking you to subscribe to features like air conditioning and heat. Apparently now with everything in cars becoming so computerized it's really easy for them to add or subtract features just through software updates. They've finally figured out how to continue getting your money if you are the type of person who buys a car outright and keeps it forever (like me).

I did the Nura subscription last year - I wanted a pair of earbuds for running, and on the surface these seemed to fit the bill. They had a sound-thru mode that let the world in and wrapped around your ears for a sturdy fit. Sadly, they sucked. There were a bunch of annoying problems but mainly, the sound wasn't that impressive, it just sort of sounded like scooped mids and pumped bass, kinda like the stereotypical Beats profile. The sound-thru mode while running just resulted in constant wind rush and pop noise. So I went to return them (as Drew said, at my own expense) and wound up being out like, $30 rather than a couple hundred for a product I didn't like.
@@incidentshappen I guess that that could be one plus. I bought a pair of Sony earbuds a year or two ago and they absolutely suck (they sound worse than my $10 JBL wired buds) but they were $150 and I'm basically stuck with them until they die.
8:05 the Nura phones rang a bell and I looked them up - they dropped the Nuraphones back in 2018 which went around the internet for a while because they had weird ass earbuds inside of over the ear headphones, and claimed to "personalize" the audio based on the shape of your ear. I remember people actually liked them despite them seeming overpriced and gimmicky - does look like those earbuds are available to purchase now though instead of the subscription.

Drew putting a mid roll right before finishing the sentence “not everything is an ad” is such gold
I love how the Bean Bed website claims to have trademarked the word "Bean".
Heinz and probably every other brand selling actual fucking beans has something to say about that.
lmfao that's the first red flag
I felt like the scammer probably almost made it like "🅱️ean"
Rowan Atkinson would like a word...
LL Bean is gonna be pissed
i assume that drew did this but psa, if you ever buy something that never shows up and the company doesn't refund/replace, call your bank. they'll have you fill out some info about the transaction and you'll likely be refunded in a couple days (tho it can take around a week or two; they'll give you an estimate)
yup happened to my sister from WIsh ordered a shirt that never showed up and they insisted it was delivered so we had to call the credit card and they gave us our money back
Do you have this kind of scam when they call you pretending to be a bank worker and ask for your card info to buy things or transfer money? Does your advice also work in this case? Because it doesn’t in my country, so I was wondering.
drew said it could only be paid for with real money (peep that google pay payment option), he can’t call his bank for help if the transaction wasn’t made through the bank. This is how scammers make sure you can’t get a refund, it’s the same method telemarketing scammers use to rob old confused people of their life’s savings, a lot of them make them buy gift cards, others have them send the money in cash hidden between a book’s pages, etc. It’s very VERY difficult to get your money back in these situations.
@@ariariaris The scams you're talking about are real, but that's not how Google Pay works. It's just Google facilitating your use of actual payment options (like a credit card or your bank's debit card) without you needing to remember those payment details, so he definitely could have gone to his bank/credit card provider to get his money back from the scam.
@@quasimofo6811 have you ever had to try to get a refund for a purchase made with either google pay or paypal from smaller and/or international retailers when an order is missing, even if it’s technically not a scam? it’s a fucking pain. If you’re not dealing with bigger retailers like amazon it can take weeks of back and forth emails and you still might not get anything. I didn’t say it was impossible, just very difficult.
6:42 “5 bucks/month for the next 10 years… well over $1000”
(5x12)10 = 600
600 = 1000 now. Drew said so
The fact that you put a mid-roll when saying “not everything is an ad” makes me appreciate your creativity much more
I feel so bad for Amanda. Imagine coming home after working all day to find your husband in the shower pouring power aid all over himself and drinking out of a pocket,
probably wishing you stayed in Afghanistan.

This is one of the most hilarious things I've read in a while
Don’t forget the fact that he horribly wrapped that gift to her
And then subsequently walks around the house in a grey sleeping-bag-evening-gown
The more I think about it the more Drew’s daily life seems like a sitcom to me.
always remember you can contact your bank and put in a request to get your money back, especially if you paid a lot of money and it’s clearly a scam
This is why you pay for it with a credit card, makes the whole process so much easier.
@@ben6993 Honestly, anyone who doesn't use a credit card for purchases like that are just making their own life harder for no reason, lol.
@@Naokarma exactly, with a credit card it’s the banks money, not yours.
or paypal
@@Naokarma Nah paypal is the way. Their resolution center is way easier than credit cards
Alot of these products are for disabled people, they're actually really helpful
-I have a connective tissue disorder and ues tape like that
-the "sleep pod" is just a sensory sack, they're for people with autism
-the shirt is very useful for many people; mobility issues, strength issues, shaky hands, old age ect.
- shoes also for alot of people; troubles bending down, troubles tieing, old age ect.
- the paper cutter is great for grip issues, shaky hands, old age ect.
True but the products on Instagram ads are quite commonly overpriced or like knock offs lol, not with disabled people's wellbeing in mind at all tbh :( but the shoes seem really cool
For the bean bed thing you should’ve just sent them back a giant box with a note that said sucker
Having an ad play immediately after saying "Not everything is an ad" is genius.
I don't know whether to be annoyed or extremely impressed.
He even did it so it cut off mid-sentence too. I’m fairly certain he’s the king of perfectly cutting sentences off for comedic effect
I was so amused
Honestly the first time I’ve not been annoyed that there is an ad mid video
This happened right as I read this comment
I had an ad-blocker so I didn't get it-
"See what happens when you don't have an adblocker? You get an extra joke. So turn off that adblocker!"
After everything that happened to you I forgot the *sleep pod* was still coming up!!
hi OT :))))))
Hi OT!! I love your vids
Hi OT! your videos are always so wholesome and they always make me feel better when I’m having a bad day ❤️
Omg it's OT in the wild!

I knew someone that “bought” subscription headphones, and if you don’t return or keep paying they turn them off from their manufacturer.
I personally… don’t understand
I bet somebody skilled in computer nonsense could hack into them and get them to keep working. Though apparently they will keep billing you regardless
the video being divided into "hi", "buy", "cry", "try", and "bye" is genius
wow drew i’m really glad that you haven’t procrastinated till the end of the month for the sponsorship!!!!
@SillySanta agreed
@SillySanta lmao what
More like, the end of the year!
he’s just like me tho
@SillySanta yeah, your content’s so good it doesn’t exist! :0
These videos help remind me that someone else out there is making worse financial decisions than me. Thanks Drew!!!
But it's a bUsiNeSs expense for him 👀🤷🏾♀️
hes gonna make it back double from this video alone so ur decisions r probably worse lol
My grandma got some sort of pop on shoes like that because it’s hard to bend down to put on shoes every time! Even a shoe horn can be difficult. She loves them :)
1:42 that’s what we call foreshadowing
Drew's glasses are a window to an alternate dimension version of Drew who inconveniently has a smaller head.

Why is no one talking about how his video went? He went through the 4 stages of getting scammed. Buy, Cry, Try, and Bye. Drew I hope you will get through this!

@SillySanta I agree
definetly
@SillySanta who. asked.
@SillySanta well that’s a bit mean I normally don’t call people stupid so that why I thought it came off as mean but I don’t know could just me who see that.
Maybe if he gets a Ad for one
"I have been stuck at the same rank in rocket league for the past 6 years, with no sign of improving"
That one hit hard. 😂
Actual round of applause for the editing here. Not everything is a - (cut to mid roll) ad.
Missed the beautiful nuance of this when I was paying for CZcams premium. God bless Drew Gooden.
Okay, unironically, you're the first person I've ever seen who isn't currently in the midwest who's thought to donate to help with the disaster relief effort here, and for that I love you much
I saw a CZcamsr from the UK do the same (every year he donates the ad revenue from the first 24 hours on his Christmas video to a charity). I am also from Europe and I thought it was very thoughtful of him to choose that cause.
Tornado watch for Kentucky again today too on fucking New Years Day this is so insane hoping you and everybody else can stay safe if you’re down there

@@dolly5791 lost money? probably made it back 10x for this video
Seems like Current has got money to throw around for sponsers. Im sure he's alright. At the very least he's clean in that shirt.
@@dolly5791 bruh this vid has 924k views as of writing, and he got scammed for 70 dollars. If he has a CPM of 0,45 cents per 1000 views, he made 415 dollars in this video ( more or less because not everyone gets ads). Plus big CZcamsrs like Drew usually have higher CPMs than that. PLUS he got a sponsor for the video.
So I’m sure he is fine with getting scammed. If he wasn’t, he wouldn’t have tried buying a useless 70 dollar product in the first place.
Yeah let's go shopping for some punctuations 😁

“Not everything is an ad”
*ad plays*
Comedy at its finest
The Nurabuds sound like when Goblins make stuff for Wizards in Harry Potter they consider the item they made as theirs and the person who buys it is only renting it. That is bananas!
As someone who also got scammed by a shop made in shopify, the company needs to do a better job of preventing this, once they're taken down the scammer just makes a new one with a new name. I'll be smarter next time but believe me I was pretty careful it was just very convincing.
I bought a posable figure (the ones artists use as reference to draw) and it was supposed to be super high quality and with a ton of accessories and when I got it I couldn't even be mad. It was so shit like it was dollar store level plastic, I made sure to keep it to myself lol
@@VngelD1az I did the exact same with a dress. Looked gorgeous on the website but when it arrived it was a piece of thin flammable fabric 🙃
I can't stand drop shippers. I agree, shopify REALLY needs to work on that.
@@VngelD1az Scam sites take images from other sources and use them on their shops, best way to know if they are stealing images is to reverse image search their pics.
Yall know if yall get scammed u can dispute charges with your bank and say "yeah i aint never get no product bc the shit aint real and they scammin ass bitch" and u'll get ur money back....right?
The shirt is covered in a hydrophobic spray (think how fat and oil floats on liquid) which repels all liquid. Generally, with hydrophobic garments, you can clean them with a cloth. Kind of like how waterproof or leather shoes are never really dirty or stained, they just have dirt sat on the surface
wow, hydrophobic in 2021? smh we gotta do better in 2022! love wins!!
@@JaneDoe-po4gu listen I can accept you hyrdrosexuals from a distance, just don’t bring it near me or my family
@@josh-cg8tz letting the word hydrosexual sink in.
@@camelliahyacinth5926 not gonna sink into that shirt tho
Pretty sure whatever material the fabric is made out of is what's hydrophobic, not some application later in the process. The type of hydrophobic coating you're thinking of often deteriorates pretty quickly upon physical contact, making it temporary.

*CZcams midroll advertisement*
“… an ad.”
Drew is the only CZcamsr I watch that consistently gets the midroll placement joke to actually work. Half the time they get the timing completely wrong.
Internet Historian is pretty clutch lol
can someone give the timestamp? I missed it
sunflowerdogs 15:58
@@tragicboi depends though. If you already watched one of the midrolls and then scroll around, CZcams will sometimes change the placement of manually placed midrolls based on watch time. It’s a confusing system, probably why so few people get the timing to work
I don’t have ads because my CZcams is broken in a good way lmaoo
i love drew’s full breakdown over not being able to own the earbuds. like he starts out confused but by the end he’s insane
If sleep pod wasn't so expensive I'd get it because I will never have enough blanket to stay warm and wake up when I feel the cold air against my skin when the blanket isn't covering me fully, plus my cat could sleep in it with me and I wouldn't uncover her
