    #542 The Medium Is The Message

    A spooky (and sticky) sleepover game inspires a show about the occult arts as a means to sell everything from sneakers to stock picks. Plus, a denim ad turns out to be a window into classic cinema. Here are links to the ads we talked about in this week’s show: Brawny - Sleepover https://www.ispot.tv/ad/TFMJ/brawny-sprinkler BJs Wholesale Club - Seance https://youtu.be/mOWQhj5YH70?si=4busvAVBG_qNMj5V American Home Sheild warranty - Medium https://www.ispot.tv/ad/gpE0/american-home-shield-tune-teller-featuring-rachel-dratch TD Ameritrade - Psychic https://www.ispot.tv/ad/7uSc/td-ameritrade-you-got-this-fortune-teller Capital One - Fortune Teller https://www.ispot.tv/ad/boqx/capital-one-quicksilver-tune-teller-ft-charles-barkley-samuel-l-jackson-spike-lee Jordan M10s - It’s Melo https://www.ispot.tv/ad/7fW6/jordan-m10-tune-teller Budweiser - Past Lives https://youtu.be/mkkzQjSQU1g?si=s49M4M6_lyxwYfGH Levis - Travis https://youtu.be/EzQkenNMjXg?si=yTv7_DbmfGvFJxRI

    #541 Council Culture

    Before the Ad Council can have their say with an influx of ads for sleazy attorneys, frangible timepieces and DIY beer kegs, Vieves insists on a takeover with the ads she can’t get enough of. Here are links to the ads we talked about in this week’s show: Chewy - Monkey https://www.ispot.tv/ad/6_XL/chewy-monkey-save-35 DSW - Let us surprise you https://youtu.be/IpAkvRWX4N0?si=8Jzzvsnnm1enCM0u Kenzo World fragrance https://youtu.be/NoMqvniiEkk?si=GC5eQ9r42cTNyNZQ Wrangler - Jeans on https://www.ispot.tv/ad/ffGo/wrangler-jeans-on-song-by-david-dundas Allied Injury Group https://www.ispot.tv/ad/TU7Y/allied-injury-group-accident-that-wasnt-your-fault-your-favorite-lawyer?msockid=be1e1f98106c11f1ac002ec285715a48 Timex https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FkP8kOxMgGE Iron City Beer Pumper https://youtu.be/_3MF4_gK1wY?si=Y1rgrS1QsQTyTNy3 Long John Silvers - Michael Winslow https://youtu.be/hLzcVnDUDHk

    #540 What Does The FOX Say?

    Andrew’s latest obsession -- watching the World Baseball Classic -- has him uncharacteristically immersed in the FOX-Newsiverse, and he’s seeing a lot of mind-blowing ads as a result. Listen to this one if you want to stay prayed up!

    #539 Animal Yakkers

    Andrew and Vieves consider the talking animals pressed into service as spokescritters, from a humiliated gopher to a truly upsetting zebra. Plus, an Ad Coucil submission offers a spicy take, and caffeine is a powerful drug.

    #538 Casting Impressions

    Friend of the show Justin Morissette joins Andrew and Vieves with an update on his burgeoning acting career, pulling back the curtain on the sometimes thankless, but often hilarious world of commercial acting auditions.

    In the wake of the Super Bowl ad-pocalypse, Vieves unveils a few commercial gems that deserve their day in the sun. Plus, an Ad Councilor bestows a sandwich-based bounty for the ages on ATM.

    It’s the Ad Council’s turn to weigh in on this year’s Super Bowl commercials, with hot takes on everything from the subtle song cues that Andrew and Vieves overlooked to a star turn by a local bird celebrity.

    #535 The Bowlies VI: Bottom Dollars

    For the 6th annual Bowlie Awards, Andrew and Vieves display a heroic level of discipline as they turn in a sub-four-hour show on this year’s crop of Super Bowl ads, which featured a surprising amount of ass --and that’s not even counting the one with Shane Gillis.
