Wouldn't mind Andrew trying to make it sound like a Squatty Potty changed his life though. Nothing can ever compare to Chris Jericho's transition into Omaha Steaks on his podcast.

I miss when you could tell if they hated the product they had to advertise or not depending on the promo code.

I just assume they kinda hate it all.

My favorite ad read of all time on a podcast was on some episode of the Giant Bombcast back in the day. They usually do wacky skits as ads but for this one, they were clearly instructed to read it exactly as written. It was advertising some comedian's special on Netflix or something. The thing I will never forget was Jeff Gerstmann reading the whole thing so forcefully he legitimately sounded like he was going to murder somebody, especially when he read the sentence "He's the sort of guy to eat Chik-Fil-A on a Sunday!".

This new crop of advertisers are so low rent. Never thought I'd pine for the days of square space, casper mattresses and extreme restraints.

i could go my whole life without hearing maaaaaaaaaaaanscape again. on anything. i just hit the fast forward button so i'm not gonna begrudge the whm boys for getting paid, i'd do the same. i appreciate they put music underneath so i know when to stop.

I wonder if it’s worth the money to advertise on a podcast you can fast forward through. I’ve looked at a couple places over the years to see if the codes are worth it and all the products are just overpriced garbage anyways.

I think the only product that I've ever bought off a podcast was a Harry's razor and that seemed like pretty good value. Now they sell them in Target!

The only product I've ever bought from a podcast was an Audible subscription. Which I eventually canceled because I didn't have enough time to listen to audiobooks because of all the free podcasts I was listening to.

I’ve seen the Casper, the Purple Mattress, the Sleep EZ, the Helix… I’ve seen so many of them and the only discernible difference is the branding, the amount of material used on the inside and like what code you used to buy one. They’re legit the same goddamn thing. It’s wild what a racket that stuff is.

I’m sure all those memory foam mattresses come from the same Chinese factory. I’ve bought a couple over the years from cheapy Amazon seller to slightly nicer ones and they all seem to be the same.

I've bought me undies and 3chi (I don't know where to buy drugs and it's illegal in my state) after hearing podcast ads and both are good. Me undies are legit my favorite underwear, but they're kinda expensive even with coupons. "promo code: HATE"

The only ad I might let myself listen to is the one where Cabin talks about how good CBD is. Bet they had a hoot giving him that one.

They probably told Cabin, read it as if you're a raging square who really bought into DARE I bought one of those toothbrushes they advertised years ago. It was pretty ok but then I changed to one of those IO brushes that's like a dentist's drill right in your bathroom.

I would listen to the ads when they were at the beginning of each episode and unique to them, because they'd make a lot of jokes with each other. I didn't realize that for a while, so I completely missed out on them apparently being obviously annoyed at Draft Kings?

I tried Feals thanks to the gang and in their defense it did have a money back guarantee as advertised for being completely unsatisfied with my overpriced fake weed oil.

I think CBD has some benefits, it helps my GF with multiple sclerosis sleep better at night without waking up with leg pain, I buy vape carts that are about 2:1 THC/CBD so I can have a couple puffs during the day but it doesn't make me feel "high". I do think that most of these sites advertising on podcasts exist to try and sell something similar to weed to people who can't legally buy weed though.

I use it in a muscle rub cream, it works for me but I will readily admit it might also be the placebo effect. Also I am assuming all the dad's in the audience were screaming "Blackhawk down" when the guys were talking about Josh Hartnett's biggest movies.

I still have a copy of Ron reading out the i57 ignite (caffeine pill) reads on a hard drive somewhere. Cha de bugre! (i think that's what it was, some natural herb to go with horse-killing amounts of caffeine.)
