HARLEY: For many years, I've walked one path.
As an inventor and innovator of epic foods, I've changed the
game of cooking and eating.
Now it's time for me to forge a new path and, maybe, change
the world that we live in.
I've created a new show that lets me use my powers
of innovative thinking to help people in need.
The concept is simple: I talk to people,
I figure out what their problems are,
then I invent groundbreaking products to solve them
and generate as much profit as possible.
Can a show change the world?
We're about to find out.
Welcome to "Inventerprise".

HARLEY: Inventerprise is inspiration.
What we're doing here is not just inventing.
My mission isn't just to push the boundaries
of what we think we can do or can't do.
My mission is to inspire people, motivate those around me,
and, while doing so, help a friend and a colleague.
HARLEY: It's a little before 6:30 a.m.
I'm trying to call Jasmeet, a.k.a. "Jus Reign".
This is one of my best buds from the internet,
and the reason I want to have this video call with him
is 'cause I want to pull some information.
I don't want to just go and make the guy something random
that he's going to be like "Why would you
make this for me?" I want to figure out
something that he needs, 'cause I want to be certain
that it's the right thing.
"Watch me.
Hold me.
Love me."
He needs love.
[Incoming call tune]
HARLEY: I know he sleeps with his computer.
JASMEET: What's up?
HARLEY: Hey. I know it's early.
Where are you at these days?
What's going on these days?
JASMEET: Well, you know me.
I'm just out here, just doing a lot, um...
doing all sorts of...
fun and innovative...

HARLEY: I wrote, "Work, work, work, work, work."
JASMEET: [Chuckles] Yep.
That's me.
HARLEY: Who are you hanging out with these days?
JASMEET: Uh... Man, a lot of people in my squad,
they'll come and hang out.
A lot of my buddies.
HARLEY: Yeah, lots of buddies.
JASMEET: Lot of peeps.
People in the squad.
HARLEY: Yeah, people in your squad.
Jasmeet is lying to me.
I don't care about the words coming out of his mouth.

I have another question.
JASMEET: Yeah?

Cuddles, et cetera...
HARLEY: Cuddles?
JASMEET: Yeah, cuddles are comforting.
HARLEY: Yeah.
JASMEET: Just not giving a care about anything else
for the moment and just being in the moment.
I just want to be enveloped by another human.
HARLEY: If I wasn't on a video call, I'd hold you right now
and say everything's going to be okay.
Sounds like you're not scheduling some chilling time.
JASMEET: Yeah.

one thing, and one thing only: "Couch?"

HARLEY: More than anything in the world, Jas needs

For this invention to truly make him happy,
I've got to take it to the next level.
I need to invent the world's first hugging couch.
♪♪
HARLEY: Hugging.
Cuddling.
Embracing.
I Googled all of these words with "professional" and "expert"
added into it, and the same man kept popping up -
either 'cause he's the best or 'cause he's the only person
that offers this service.
Either way, I'm going to see him right now.
Hasnain Mirza is a professional cuddler.
HASNAIN: Hi.
HARLEY: Hi. I'm Harley.
How are you?
HASNAIN: Hi. I'm Hasnain.
Come on in.
HARLEY: Thank you.
Through his website, CuddleMe.ca, lonely people
like Jasmeet can pay for Hasnain to cuddle them
by the hour.
I want his expertise to help give my hugging couch
the magic touch.
So, what do you do?
HASNAIN: Well, as a professional, I'm a respiratory
therapist in the intensive care unit.
One thing that struck me was the amount of loneliness
that there is in the hospital, so this is CuddleMe, and
I created this on the side so that I can help people out
who are feeling, you know, sad, alone, and people
who need affection.
HARLEY: As a cuddling, hugging expert, what would
you think of an invention that hugs you?
HASNAIN: That's a very interesting project.
HARLEY: Would it work if it wasn't a human cuddling?
HASNAIN: This is a mechanical cuddle versus a human cuddle.
It's completely different.
It'll be a very interesting experience, but it's not going
to be as warm, and as soft, and as authentic as
another human being.
HARLEY: Okay. Well, how about you just lie to me?
It's obvious Hasnain doesn't want my hugging couch to work.
I get it - it would put his side business out of business.
But, while I'm here, I want to find out for myself what makes
Hasnain's hugs so magical.
So, how much does a cuddle session cost?
HASNAIN: Ninety dollars for sixty minutes.
HARLEY: Okay.
HASNAIN: So just put your head down right here. Yeah.
HARLEY: Don't rush me.
HASNAIN: All you've got to do is concentrate on your breathing.
HARLEY: I can only concentrate on how many faces have been
on this pillow, maybe.
HASNAIN: It's all about being comfortable and just being
yourself at all times.
HARLEY: Out of my entire life, this is somehow the craziest
thing I've ever done.
HASNAIN: Really?
HARLEY: Yeah.
I can't describe it.
HASNAIN: [Chuckles] HARLEY: Do you have other,
different cuddling?
HASNAIN: What you could do is you could hug the pillow.
HARLEY: When you cuddle, people cuddle you back?
HASNAIN: Yeah, for sure.
It's a give-and-go.
Cuddling is sexualized a little too much.
HARLEY: Yeah, it's true.
HASNAIN: That's it. It's just-- HARLEY: Like, if it wasn't
so weird to people and the people watching at home,
I'd be like "Let's take our shirt off."
HASNAIN: Well, no, no, 'cause we like to keep it professional.
HARLEY: No. Yeah, that's crazy.
HASNAIN: Do you want to try another position?
HARLEY: Do I?
HASNAIN: Yeah.
Just relax your legs.
Ease your breathing.

HASNAIN: It's so big.
HARLEY: Has?
HASNAIN: Yeah?
