In a bizarre turn of events, a man from Portland, Oregon, has become an internet sensation after accidentally swallowing his AirPods while taking a nap. The incident occurred when 28-year-old Jack Swanson fell asleep with his earbuds in, only to wake up and realize they were missing. “I thought I’d just misplaced them,” Swanson said, “but then I felt a strange sensation in my stomach and heard music playing faintly from inside my body.”
Swanson’s roommate, Emily Thompson, was the first to witness the unusual phenomenon. “I was in the kitchen when I heard Jack burping to the tune of ‘Bohemian Rhapsody,'” she recalled, laughing. “At first, I thought he was just being silly, but then he told me what had happened, and we both couldn’t believe it.”
The story quickly spread on social media, with people dubbing Swanson the “Human Jukebox.” Doctors at Portland General Hospital were baffled by the incident, with Dr. Amanda Lee stating, “In all my years of practice, I’ve never seen anything like this. It’s a medical marvel that the AirPods have continued to function within the gastric environment.” Swanson has embraced his newfound fame, even taking song requests from friends and family. “I never thought I’d be able to entertain people with my burps,” he chuckled, “but I guess life is full of surprises.”
Apple has yet to comment on the incident, but sources close to the company have hinted at a potential new marketing campaign featuring Swanson. As for the man himself, he’s just happy to have his AirPods back, even if they’re now part of his digestive system. “I guess you could say I have a gut feeling about what music to listen to now,” Swanson quipped, before belching out the opening notes of “Sweet Child O’ Mine.”
