Mike Lindell: Sleep Expert
Also Mike Lindell: Stayed awake for 19 days straight on a crack cocaine binge until a drug dealer lulled him to sleep
I think he just wanted a pillow sized crack rock.
@@PRS-qh5jf ah yes, the ultimate My Pillow
One needs to look into the abyss to gain true enlightenment.
Can we really call other sleep experts "sleep experts" if they haven't walked down that very specific road?
He's lying bc he didn't remember. He had to have slept some... 10 days wo sleep will kill you or permanently put you into psychosis.
I knew he was a former drug addict but to have your own dealers stage an intervention for you? That’s insane lol
Yeah, I've only heard of 1 other case like that. Drug dealers really don't want their customers to die, not only do they lose money, but it makes them look bad.
His story is BS.
@Hilltop JD614 not just the timeline, but how much in a binge. Corey Taylor OD on coke twice before he was 19 and thinks he only survived on of the times because his “buddies” threw him in a dumpster. So if he was coming back every hour looking for a gram or a ball for 3 days, at least once a week, I can definitely see dealers having an intervention for the reasons thelogicaldanger said above.
@Hilltop JD614 depends on the morals/rules they each follow ig.
Its almost... unbelievable. Smh
He didn't just smoke crack, he smoked SO MUCH crack his dealer put the word out to all the other dealers not to sell him crack because he was worried about him...
yeah.
Unlike corporate businessmen they care about customers
Crazy before and afters
@@GrayGasana well if he died. they lost another valued customer.
Yeah that's some serious crack smoking, Dave Chappelle would be proud.
“Pillows so soft, even a crackhead can fall asleep on it!” This should be their slogan.
😂👍🏽
Lmao 😂 🤦♀️
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
It works for opioids too
Crackheads fall asleep on anything bruh especially those bus benches
"you've gotta be on crack if you think a pillow is a million dollar idea."
"yes."
🤣🤣🤣
Underrated comment
I will never stop being amazed that this guy produced cheap Walmart type pillows and everyone hyped it up like they'd never seen a pillow before and were sleeping on bricks.
Can't argue with results. Maybe you should try some crack.
Drug dealers: "You're our best customer. We can't have you dying on us."
😂😭
Cool richenbacker
Mike’s dealer: Look Mike, I appreciate you putting my kids through college but I’m not going to sell to you anymore and I’m gonna sit with you till you fall asleep.
Gotta make sure your best customer can live to buy another day.
I trust these crack dealers more than I trust my congressman...
No homo
Least they wouldn't be short of pillows.
Those definitely aren't typical crack&smack dealers 😂
he made the drug dealers feel like the Grinch, their hearts grew bigger because they feel sorry for his hardcore addiction.
glad to see for once a drug dealer actually cared for the human and not the money
@@stoopiddipnut1473 it’s pretty common for drug dealers to care about people. Uncaring drug dealers lead to deaths and deaths lead to less sales its pretty simple.
@@slothschewgum also someone dying because of your drugs might lead to some heat from the cops
Some drug dealers are actually caring people.
@@stoopiddipnut1473 fnf at 3 am!1?a!1
I’m sorry this is not a good place
Maybe I'm going to hell for this, but I laughed out loud at him scrawling "My Pillow" on the wall. I knew he was a nut but I had no idea.
I work at a kohls, and as soon as we had his stuff pulled, sooooo many people came in angry at us for the companies decision.
That was probably a good idea. Those pillows look like garbage hotel pillows.
I work at Dollar General, and we pulled his stuff as well. People were so pissed about us pulling these garbage pillows
@@Cheyenne_Hayden I still don't get why people would get mad at the people working the store for the company's decisions.
@@liviwaslost people are stupid, that's why.
@@liviwaslost
Because it was politically movtivated and childish. Exactly what the Democrats embody. If you disagree with swamp they use their mob tactics to good after you.
Gotta love how the thumbnail just says "smoked crack"
thegamerfrommars always makes the best thumbnails lol
still preferred the "touched a boy" thumbnail
I clicked
@@r0mushii ye that was legendary
Yes
His own drug dealers gave him an intervention!?!? Damn dude.
69th
That's metal af
Bet those dealers were Canadian
@@isaiahbraddock i'm picturing a bunch of Canadian drug dealers calling him buddy and pal in an intervention
When you have a cash cow, you don't grind it up for meat... you keep milking it. They were probably charging him 5X what the crack was actually worth on the street
This just made me realize I've never once in my life bought a pillow. I don't know where I even got them all, maybe different girlfriends or something
And those girlfriends got their pillows from their old boyfriends, along with std.
by girlfriend he really means his mom
Was deployed in Kuwait facilitating, providing security and training coalition forces movement to Iraq; There was no alcohol ergo WAS a deployment. ;)
ewww!
That's gross bro. Buy a pillow.
From the very first time I saw that stache I just KNEW he had a wild past. I never thought he'd turn out to be Trump's BFF. But wow what a weird timeline
wonder if he ever smoked crack with Hunter Biden?
Trump is good but Lindell has gone too crazy.
@@Joe-sd2kx they're both fucking crazy
I've had 1 of these pillows for years now. It's lasted longer than any other pillow I've ever had, washes great, comfortable, and it doesn't make my head sweat. Much better than buying a new pillow every year. The guys idea is solid.
As a crackhead, I find this inspiring and motivating. Watch out world.
God bless brother.
Oddly wholesome statement, just like this dude's story
God bless you brother. Just don't advocate for marshal law when you get big
He wasn’t advocating for marshal law. The doc he had was about the Democrats imposing marshal law to stop any election opposition...
@@tilltanky5367 uhhh what? 😂 ok. Whatever helps you sleep at night
TH-cam ads for underwear and ear buds are the new As Seen on TV products
Raycons
@@onedollasnake sheath underwear
Don't forget about these wallets, razors, Raid Shadow Legends, Dragon Raja(?), and (insert weird mobile phone game here). But then again, ya probably don't want a mile long list.
@@XartiXV Bless the Demiurge for all of these companies splurging on ads to keep all the shows I watch alive during these troubled times
Facts.
Really asinine to plug in his butthuggers right after dissing on "as seen on tv" literally had me dying over here.
As a credited sleep expert all I can say is...*yawn* I'll... I'll get back to you after a little nap
- twilight zone theme-
And it's funny that EVEN a alt-right news outlet didn't want to deal with the "my pillow guy" any more lol
My pastor runs a drug and alcohol recovery program. He got in contact with Mike, and he personally let them buy pillows and sheets for 1 dollar each. Mike is a really genuine guy, but deals with his own issues as all of us do.
@Jagger Wilkins of course! what would you like to know?
@Jagger Wilkins He sent a email to the my pillow and eventually the word got to Mike. He immediately emailed back and set up the discount. It was a amazing blessing, god is good.
That first sentence was sounding very startling to me, until I got to "recovery program." I think I need to go to sleep.
Most times the nicest people are the most stupid/desperate/ and scared people. Best example are cult members. Mike also falls in that category
Just like with Robert Downey Jr. Anyone can change for the better.
Whats next? is the ridge wallet guy going to smoke crack? The Sheath guy? The Raid shadow legends developers? WHO?
Raid shadow legends is going to make a statement on how Jo Jorgenson really win the election, and dominion voting machines cheated her out of winning...
Joe mama
As if all 3 aren't crack heads
lemme guess: raid shadow legends devs were invited to epstein's island
Hahaahah the raid shadow legends developers
Infomercials sure have gone down hill since Billy Mays left us :/
Is that a synth cool reference??
Well there’s Phil Swift
"Yer gonna love my nuts!"
@@1Soniccool oh god there is, our new god!
True that
Lindell is always how I picture Ron Burgundy's dad to look and act like
I always loved how on the commercials, he blamed the pillow he used as the reason he was not sleeping well.
It wasn't copious amounts of crack, it was the pillow... THAT was why he couldn't sleep.
I think his current behavior shows he's back on the crack. Just saying...
He's on something waaaaaay stronger than crack now....
Well when you're smoking crack and using a possum for a pillow I wouldn't expect to get a good night's sleep either in the trap house.
@@ricky-sanchez you’re right, he’s got God now, stronger than any addiction.
@@Brother_Piner Is god the new slang for PCP?
Lol I agree
“The comfiest man in town!”
I read this in the voice😂
Pillow guy
jus gohnson moment
"I've had a lot of people leave me recently"
no one gonna talk about the dealer's giving this guy a intervention 😭😭😭
Dude. Amazin.
Its all fun and games until the dealers start holding interventions and all the irony sets in
He was like “bro, stop it, please”
Lol I remember hearing about that
Hey guy??? You’re doing too many drugs, and it’s got me and the boys real worried, I think we gotta stop your supply buddy.
bruh come on do you not see the irony?
“really it was just a regular pillow filled with foam”
“these boxer briefs are the most comfortable, most men don’t even know what they’re missing out on”
Excaly xD
Yep
Biases are a helluva thing XD
Lol I thought the same thing..
Like for speaking facts.
Idk where you guys live, but in my city this guy is the example of the average citizen, hell maybe even one of the more prestigious citizens since he didn’t get incarcerated for 3 charges of murder.
THE WHAT
I'll tell you one thing, this pillow definitely was not the "most comfortable pillow I've ever owned"
The weirdest part is that my mom knows the pillow guy’s sister back in Minnesota.
Bruh
dude...
That's what you consider the weirdest part of this weirdos story
Woah man his sister? In Minnesota thats crazy! How weird his sister in Minnesota
Headahh
Right or Left, he definitely is a character
I award you the most Generic Unoffensive Post Possible (GUPP) Award
@@MrNonyadbiz im offended he didnt pick a side
@@autastic4577 ahe fuck you, homie. he picked my side. on god
@@autastic4577 Trust me I have a side. Just I don’t think many people would like that
@@npcimknot958 He’s def a eccentric and I don’t believe with the way he handles himself. But he is the epitome of the American Dream
I have a signed copy of his book. I’ll tell you what. It’s actually pretty well written and also pretty insane.
the signature or the book?
@@WarrenM.1996 the signature is pretty insane
@@WarrenM.1996 yes I bet it’s a crazy ass signature
It's weird that I actually met this guy way back when. I was walking with my dad when meeting him. My dad and him were having a pleasant chat where he then bought a pillow for me. I still have the pillow to this day and yes it isn't as comfortable as advertised.
He looks like if Joseph Stalin and Saul Goodman had a child
They're good pillows. My dad bought me two of them. They're soft, but they don't flatten. They can be washed and dried, and they come back out just like new.
when your crack dealer is concerned you know you've gone too far
A worried drug dealer babysitting a grown man. A sentance I never thought I'd hear.
This story reminds of Billy Mays, the “As Seen on TV” guy who had an on air lovable personality. Yet often times dude was high off his rocker. Craziness.
It's weird that he was actually quite civil and calm when he appeared on Jimmy Kimmel.
lol "SMOKED CRACK" Im fking dying gr8 thumbnail
The best part of the video is midway through when you stop to cut a "MyPillow-esque" commercial for underwear that you say could very well change my life. Lol
I have a my pillow! I only bought it cuz good will was selling them brand new for $20 which is really cheap.
It came in a box and when I opened the box a bunch of confetti with a bible passage (I don’t remember what it said) fell out and got all over the floor :/
leviticus 42:21 "Get glitterbombed, bitch!"
Well, don't leave us hanging, hows the pillow?
@@extragoogleaccount6061 pretty comfy, I’ve only had it for 2 years though so I don’t know how long that would last, but I’ve heard good things from people who’ve had theirs for longer!
I've got one and I quite like it
I worked as an assistant manager at a dry cleaners a few years ago, and Mike was one of our customers (along with a few other local celebrities.) he had his personal assistant drop his clothes off every week. I kid you not, the man craps every single pair of pants he owns. I’m not sure if it’s from his years of drug abuse or not, but I can’t think about his brand without the image of his dookie in his pants.
im apt to question this but he sucks so much that im just gonna believe it anyways
@@someidiot420 right there with u. Basically gospel to me
Haha assistant manager, clean the shit out of his pants and shut up. He smokes crack and shits his pants and you get paid nothing to clean it up. That's as close as you'll get to success.
I live in minnesota. In the city where his original pillow warehouse was... this man is a fucking HERO around here..... lmaoo on the my pillow website, you can buy cardboard cut outs of the owner...
You might ask "who the hell would buy that? People in the south west metro of Minnesota.....
I'm from Minnesota and everyone I know thinks he's a Nut case!
I mean I’d probably buy something like that as a joke if it wasn’t too expensive
15:40 "We have the president here, our real president"
I know it's not, but imagine if the prank call came from Joe Biden.
I think it'd be funnier if it was actually just Trump prank calling him
XD
Bidens not pres though. It’s hard to tell which dem is pulling the puppet’s strings. Either pelosi or kamala
@@e14ee who sounds more insane? People who accept that Biden is president? Or those who have tackboards with pictures and strings tying everything together?
@@e14ee then who is?
My stepdad has the book "from crackhead to ceo" and the cover is terrifying
I sure hope it has written "SMOKED CRACK" with his face on the cover
@@injetavel279 sadly it doesn't :(
Guess this guy's life doesn't seem so soft as it would appear.
shut up
@@18benzo8 Cmon man, it was a joke!
@@18benzo8 no u
He should say "this pillow is so good I stopped smoking crack!" I'd buy that for a dollar!
14:17 People don't even understand what "using the Lord's name in vain" means, they think it means a simple exclamation like 'Jesus Christ'. However, it actual refers to a statement like 'I swear to God" because your literally using God's name in a selfish pursuit to get someone to believe you.
This is about language, not religion!
Truth
Your thumbnails are just ... the greatest thing on this website
☑ 😂 😎 🍻
This pillow was my first adult job pay check “big buy” and I still have it. Comfy as hell
Agreed.
Love mine!
Guess it's better for different people then. For me, I just had tons of neck pain because the filler was pushed back while I slept.
I eventually got a pillow made of one foam slab so that it won't do that, and it is a game changer.
My brother loves his my pillow though. Wish I understood the appeal
@@Fennexin wifey and I have one and it keeps getting lost with the other ones. Can't tell which it is without taking case off. Glad it was a gift
To be honest, my pillow is the best and most comfortable pillow I've ever owned. Despite all the controversy, it's a great pillow.
“Controversy”
Guess what.... Businessmen don’t like high taxes. The left really expects everyone to be apart of their cult.
@@e14ee yea but there was still controversy
i have a mypillow too!
Same here. I'm buying another one.
@@e14ee as a person who’s conservative and is against the left. I don’t like like Lindell. Cuz he seems crazy and dumb. That’s just me.
Obviously covering a politically involved, controversial and polarizing figure like Lindell is tough not to display bias, but I think you did well and played it straight down the middle. You kept it to the facts, including exposing embarrassing incidents, but didn't mock or opine on them. Well done.
You're joking, right?
He hugs that pillow like I hugs a roast beef sandwich....WITH LOVE...
Haven't heard this man in a long time
Kinda sad never get buy pillow now no why my mom said no to me all time

Oh boy. I bet this episode won’t be divisive lol
Politically so?
Got here within the first 15 minutes and the comments are surprisingly very civil.
@@ChrisSuperDude Stay tuned lol knowing how TH-cam comments are
Eh everyone is too busy saying stuff about the drug dealer thing to argue
He's literally still high. He's permanently high.
you know you have a drug problem when your dealer gives you an intervention.
It's insane how much I loved him and his commercials as a kid. He was so gentle and charismatic, now he's a conspiring nutcase with loose screws. bummer
except he was somewhat normal before but now I agree that he’s too crazy and dumb. And his pillows are probably good but it’s bummer to what he’s become. He’s made his life super boring.
I feel like it should say something that I've never heard of this guy's social media site, even from my conservative family members that loved that parler site and were upset when it shut down.
Ewww it’s a libtard.
@@aallalalalallalalakakakaka4999 why does that matter
@@aallalalalallalalakakakaka4999 where did you get that from..?
Thumbnail is quite eye catching. Your doing thumbnails right lbvs.
2 years later Mike Pillow has to represent himself in court since he can't afford lawyers 😂😂
The commercial for his book, "What Are The Odds? From Crack Addict to CEO" is one of my fav commercials of all time
The mypillow factory is a few miles from where I live. Never met the guy but his smile is scary
He was awake for 19 days???
Yeah so about him being a sleep expert
I don't think MyPillows are overrated honestly. Bought one, loved it so much I bought a few more... About a year in, and they are all still so comfy.
I have a purple pillow, and it's nice, but not what works well for me. Can't always believe the hype for as seen on TV stuff, but these pillows feel so nice.
Jay Sonovo- I was surprised I love mine so much too! Getting another one.
"His own drug dealers had to give him an intervention" I cant stop laughing
I bought two of them last year. They have been good pillows so far. They remind me of old pillows I had as a kid. I could afford the ones I have, and they came with two good pillowcases. I am not sure if they are overpriced, but I can afford them. The demise of "Normal" department stores like Sears & Penneys was a spur to ordering them too.
My mom met him before and called him a nice guy
He is
He probably is, but he is just radicalized. Politics can really fuck you up if you start to think that one side is the devil and the other is literally the second coming of Jesus
Did he write a long, rambling post on reddit because she was with your dad instead of him?
@@franspai7415 based on behaviors I can see why he'd come to that conclusion
he is he helped cancer patients by donating them my pillow pillows started focusing on making alot of mask
I've always thought his secret was that he was actually Paul Bearer.
Paul bearer
Paul bearer
Imagine your own drug dealers staging an intervention because your problems so bad.
Dude we’ve all been there...
It's like bro, all you had to do was sell the dang pillows
The fact that I know him as the pillow guy, and learning about his crack problem now....
I would expect no better of a mascot for pillows than someone that just wants to rest their head in a nice comfortable surface
No lie, My Pillow is the coziest pillow I've slept on in years. Even after five years, it hasn't gone flat and it's fluffy every time I flip it over to the cool side. Seriously worth the buy. He even includes a $10 gift card toward your next purchase, and sneaks a little inspirational Bible verse with your pillow because of how faithful he is.
@DOOK_NUKEM_4D Edison technology bought the rights to a bunch of stuff that he claimed to have made
@@tenisonolson with a pfp? Get real lmao you're living in denial
@@tenisonolson bots? This dude is literally a single pillow salesmen. He's not China
Let’s be real. Most of the hate for him and his product came about after he started campaigning for trump.
All of it is... like trump, amazon does not approve. Also people like to hate famous or rich people who believe in God IMO
@@sumoslap1973 Its mainly against Christians when it comes to angry mobs attacking people who believe in God, Those mobs don't have that mindset against Muslims or Jews though for some reason.
@@edgelord3801 accurate as hell
He has been sued for false advertising
@@edgelord3801 lol, I love the double standards. Leave it to islam to practice a cult that follows a barbarian warlord known for murdering, stealing, and raping children. But no let's all ignore that cause "oh no they're a minority here, they have slightly darker skin. Oh god no! They're immune from decency or critisicm now!" Guess we can only have strict standards for people we don't like while just passing anyone else and ignoring the hypocrisy. .
Moral of the story: once a crackhead, always a crackhead.
My grandfather sold pillows in many of the same malls as this guy. He was very competitive and ended up allegedly, as far as I have heard, took many design concepts from my grandfather’s pillow. My grandfather was retiring from this career at the time and didn’t care enough to fight it legally. Now look where it took em
In today's climate it's best just to sell your product and stay away from politics.
My mom got me one of these pillows a few years ago as a cheap christmas gift. Honestly, their products aren't even good. Within a few months the thing ended up like a pancake. I'd fluff it every so often and it would be a bit better, but over time it just became lopsided. In other words, it's about what you'd expect from a standard pillow. There's nothing special or unique about it, it's just a pillow. Any other pillow on the market is probably at least as good as mypillow.
A big part of addiction recovery as stated on step 2 and 3 of AA and NA is coming to understand that as an addict you need a power bigger than yourself a "Higher Power" to help you overcome addiction. Many follow religious beliefs they believed at one point of their lives whether it is Christianity, Catholicism, Budism it doesn't matter, others believe in a God of their understanding. Regardless, a belief that a Higher Power rescued you from addiction is not only very common but an integral part of an addict's recovery. Of course that is just a part of an addicts recovery. There is a reason why there are 12 steps in the recovery program.
I was actually listening to Mike Lindell speak in Wisconsin today, and actually touched on how his drug dealers staged an article intervention for him... Pretty wild, they actually cared for him.
I'd like to get the side of the story from the drug dealers. "Staged an intervention" is probably Mike's way of saying "I owed them so much money but I wasn't worth offing or chasing around so they just stopped giving me anything"
What you think you can just invent the greatest pillow in history WITHOUT crack? Yeah good luck buddy
you know he beyond NUTS when his own *DEALERS* told this guy "yo you gotta stop for real dawg"
"They're attacking us into our phones" 🤣🤣
tfw even the Dealers say
"I know you make us tons of bucks, but bud, calm the fuck down"
I love how every comment is about a dealer not selling him any more crack
As wacky as he is, you can’t fault him for turning his life around and making something of himself.
he turned it around so hard hes going right back to where he was
I just saw a commercial featuring him still on the air. It blew my mind!
I have 2 my pillows and they’re actually pretty comfortable
Say what you want about him but you gotta admit he’s damn persistent and does not give up.
When drug dealers have an intervention for you, it's time to go to rehab.
Those are some concerned drug dealers, my weed dealer won’t even deliver to my house 😭😂
The My Pillow Guy is a guy I've somehow completely miss and only know for the multiple times he's been parodied on SNL.
epitome of an NPC
The fact that you still can watch SNL is impressive
Not really something to brag about...
I loved the Jaboody dub of this guy haha
In more recent photos Mike looks like he’s back on the rock. Might just be me but he looks more tired and disheveled.
The 96-hour Thanks-a-Thon is full of comedy gold... It's basically seeing Mike going insane in real-time.
Having your dealer tell you they won’t sell to you because they’re worried about you isn’t a nice feeling but certainly is one helluva wake up call.
