Jay Swingler - Use YOUR BRAIN

No, Jay Swingler is not related to Tyler although you might think so after reading what he did.   In an incredible act of stupidity, he decided he could make some money by cementing his head in a microwave.   Where do people come up with this kind of idea?   Maybe Tyler can let us know since it has been observed that on occasion (usually), he forgets that there is probably something between his ears other than air.

A Chaos player must always use his brain.  This is key to survival in the everyday world and also key to success on the ice.  You can't just go out there and expect to score goals and win.   Pete is a great example of this.   He is the thinking man's hockey player.  Rarely taking a penalty, usually in the right place and thinking about the team first.  Although his skills may have faded (hardly noticable), his head is always still in the game.   Pete uses his brain all the time.   The rest of the Chaos players would be wise to follow his lead.

After thinking about this for a while, I have to say that Jay may not be the biggest idiot involved.  Certainly he is dumber than his "co-star" and friends who helped out since they were perfectly safe.  But I do think that anyone who watches this and subscribes to the channel is probably dumber than Jay.

On the other hand, Jay's quote was "Please don't try this  yourself.  Like, please don't try this".   Now who would watch this, go get a microwave, a bag of cement, a tube and a plastic bag?    Well ..... Tyler, I hope you will listen to Jay.


Here is the video if you don't believe the article:

A British YouTube prankster cemented his head inside a microwave, but the stunt backfired so badly that he almost died, and had to be rescued by the fire brigade.


Jay Swingler originally planned to fill a store-bought microwave with quick-dry cement, bury his head in it, and wait for it to harden.
 

He hoped to stay alive in the meantime by using a breathing tube in his mouth.
 

The 22-year-old and his co-star, Romell Henry, jointly run the TGFbro YouTube channel, where they post videos of themselves performing pranks such as setting themselves in jelly overnight and bathing in fake tan.
 

But halfway through the stunt, his breathing tube got blocked.
Swingler's friends attempted to get him out by breaking the cement and dismantling the microwave — but the cement kept expanding, which kept Swingler stuck inside.
 

After a futile hour and a half, they called 999 for help. Five firefighters and at least two paramedics attended the scene and wrangled with the microwave for another hour before getting it off Swingler.
 

"We're seriously unimpressed," West Midlands Fire Service tweeted. "Five of our firefighters were tied up for an hour this afternoon, freeing a YouTube pranker whose head had been 'cemented' inside a microwave oven."
 

Shaun Dakin, the fire service's watch commander, also told the BBC: "All of the group involved were very apologetic, but this was clearly a call-out which might have prevented us from helping someone else in genuine, accidental need."
 

"I've never appreciated life so much, ever," Swingler said after the incident.
 

"Please don't try this yourself. Like, please don't try this."
Swingler's near-death experience has made good TV, however — his video has been watched more than 824,000 times since it was published on Thursday afternoon.
