    Insurance Commercials: Eagle Man / Survival Insurance / Dashers

    Today on the pod Land and Aviva discuss insurance ads. They chat about a giant male eagle laying eggs, Scientology, and why the Geico Lizard is from the UK (despite England not being the most tropical of climates). Also as a fun bonus, they lend some helpful tips on how to find your way out of a paper bag.

    Skip-It, Crocodile Mile, Don't Wake Daddy, Baby Born, & More Kids Commercials!

    Aviva and Land share the most unforgettable commercials from their childhood, and maybe yours too (If you happened to be a kid at exactly the same time as either of them, in the United States, in a similar target market, depending on the region). We talk about dolls that poop, dogs that poop puppies, a waterslide with a bump, tying a lemon to your ankle, and the very best thing of all, counters. And do we talk about the type of counter that counts, or like, a marble counter? Listen to find out!

    Miller Lite "Tastes Great, Less Filling" / Crazy Bruce's Liquors with Scott Simpson

    We've all had Miller Lite, and can agree that it's one of the most delicious hoppy nectars here on G-d's green earth. But what we can't agree on, is whether the best part about Miller Lite is if it tastes great, or if it's less filling. Both things are huge benefits about the drink, and it's almost impossible to decide. We also talk about Siskel & Ebert, Orson Welles, Rodney Dangerfield, aluminum siding, and our main man Crazy Bruce with comedian Scott Simpson (California Kings Podcast). Commercials discussed: 1983 - Miller Lite - Tastes Great vs. Less Filling Softball Game Commercial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V_yuS8txoUU MILLER LITE - Rodney Dangerfield Aliens (80's Commercial) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dR4BSb63xxA Crazy Bruces Liquors https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SNkK-aQEtMI Original Takes for Orson Welles Wine Commercial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VFevH5vP32s Pace Picante - Get A Rope https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vgrGyR6EYbY See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

    Pure Moods / Living In The 90's & Other CD Compilation Ads With Kate Elston

    It's 4AM in 1998. You're in a sort of half-awake half-asleep state when Enigma's "Return To Innocence" starts playing from your TV. Why is this song playing? Why did you forget to turn off your TV? What "mood" does this CD represent exactly? We talk about this and other CD compilation commercials with the hilarious Kate Elston (Newsbroke, Vicious Cycle Podcast)!
