That one with the guy with the really wacky southern (or maybe it's some kind of Appalachian) accent has tips for cars and shit, but only gives you them after the little commercial commercial break.

I listen to the podcasts, and so have never heard one of these commercials. Not one.

Which is WHY I listen to the podcast!

Tornado, based on principal. That thing is 100% total bullshit. I could go on and on about it forever.

Did you buy one? Else how would you REALLY know? It could all be propaganda by the oil industry.

Bed fan.

1)  That's retarded.

2)  What sounds like a 23-year-old woman is claiming to suffer from menopause.  Come on.  You aren't fooling anyone.

I really know, because "twisting" air through your intake would harm performance. Hell, most intake systems are designed to staright then airflow at the MAF, and many of these "tornado" devices go infront of the MAF, so its doesn't matter anyway. They use the swirling water idea, but thats of course silly and completely unrelated. If anything these things restrict your airflow, therefore dropping how much air is read by the MAF, therefore less fuel is dumped into the system... by that logic, it really might gain you some MPG, lol, never thought of that till now. However, if you really wanted to drop HP at the expense of performance, you could just unplug a couple injectors, LOL.

Solay (however it's spelled) Wellness Products, the salt-lamp people. They jack up the bizarre claims every time their shit comes on air.

The water filters are actually very nice.  The natural soap too, though it's something anyone can make themselves and thus best bought locally.  I mostly listen to the podcast, so the ads don't bother me.

I hate the "did u rob bill gates dot com" commercial it totally seems like a scam to me but I guess most of the products they advertise seem like scams to me.

My most hated (Yet it is a hilarious concept) was the Nuke Alert.
My way to detect a nuclear explosion is my atomized flesh.

Nuke alert? What a stupid idea. If there is ever a nuclear blast, I think they might mention it on the news.

Or you might see a flash of light, a loud bang, and a mushroom cloud. Or you might instantly vaporize. Or the TV station wouldn't be broadcasting.

I hate most the "30 days to retire" (or something like that - I try to not pay attention) commercial. There are a few commercials for get-rich-quick-dot-com schemes, which all annoy me, but this one is so *horribly* acted I have a brain hemorrhage (OK, not, but I hate it!).
