TOTP - Top Ten Useless Products From The Skymall

Rob got bored on American Airlines and decided to amuse himself by compiling the top ten useless products from the Skymall:-

Be sure to play along when listening to this by going to www.topofthepods.com, viewing the spoiler links which will take you to the appropriate page in the Skymall website where you can buy all the amazing products on offer. If you buy one please email us at topofthepods@gmail.com and let us know!

  1. I live in America, and I've always been amused by Skymall products. I don't actually know anyone who's ever bought anything from it though... I'm pretty sure it's marketed toward rich idiots

  2. Quite the funniest Top Of The Pods I've heard this autumn.

    That was HYSTERICAL! (I am Canadian/American)

    I myself am a SkyMall shopper, though I must confess I regret it now. I spent $250 on a cat litter box (not the same one on your podcast) that claimed to clean itself, and it was actually quite ineffective. I'll spare you the details. Suffice to say I'll never be so stupid again.

    Also, I'd point out that while you do get a duty free magazine on international flights, SkyMall is not that one. The duty free mag should only have perfume, booze, cigarettes and Toblerone, that's why you take delivery on the items on board.
    I assume you were being facetious and silly when you inferred that the flight attendants kept heavy Basho statues on board when you're lucky if they'll heft your chicken or fish entrée to your seat.

    Very good podcast tho, keep it up!

  10. Rob, are you still allowed to podcast, now you work for Podshow? You got your gig, so is that it then? I'm missing good Brit audio (that I like). C'mon!

    Pleeeeease come back and start podcasting again! I'm missing your podcasts so much! I've been listening from the very start and don't want this to be the end of TOTP! I've listened to each show at least 20 times, so as a listener new material is needed! Respect to all else in your life, but your listeners need you!

    Much love to you both.

    I've heard good podcasts, and great ones too, but they just don't measure up to TOTP. Please broadcast again!

  23. Sometimes I wish you guys didn't have lives, if we lived in a communist country I would make you state-owned and by decree command you to issue at least four shows a week.

    You are my propaganda :)

    I miss you guys
    My ears are sad
    They droop like a daschund
    Dribbling on a summers day
    Oh what a day
    A summers day
    But what is a summers day without a good podcast?
    A summers day ruined
    Can only be rectified
    by a top of the pods

    I believe I may be rambling
    Kill a pig and i'd be hambling
    be a chav and i'd just be bling
    taccy bling with faux gold bits
    innit yo safe
    what am i doing
    this is utterly rubbish i am spouting
    i miss you jon and rob
    evidently your absence has driven me to insanity.

  27. i just emailed rob. I now live in Israel and I have had a pretty mad year. But it seems that things are opening up a bit and I have suggested we do some more shows. So if you guys pay us like a load of money we might do it. Naahhhh, just kidding, hopefully in the next couple of weeks we'l lay some shows on yah...

  28. Wooohhhoooo!!!! That is fantastic Jon! Can't wait!!!

    I've just got back from a trip to Israel - it is always a special place to visit! Wish I had known you were there, I would have tried to meet up!

    I shall be doing my annual 'pilgrimage' to Rob's part of the world a bit later in the year (back to Cambridge for some research and teaching).

    Hey guys, can't wait to hear your great lists again!

    PS. If you're ever heading down South and need a place to stay in Cape Town drop me a line.

    Okay, good news, although I have no way of knowing when you had intentions of reforming TOTP as it only gives times :) Anyhoo, even if you don't, at least updating TOTP gold once in a blue moon would be nice, as it was meant to tide people over between episodes :D Still subscribed waiting for the new episodes, and this was one of my very first podcasts (I think the currently kinda defunt Engadget podcast was too, oh the good ol' days with Torrone).
