    An all-Ad Council show yields a discussion of a Geico ad with a confusing premise, the origin story of one of the all-time greats, and a reassuring behind-the-scenes report on the Godfather of Shock Rock.

    #556 Potty Mouth

    A chance encounter with a plumbing company mascot inspires Andrew to investigate other plumbing tools that are doing double-duty as spokesfixtures. It’s all a bit draining.

    #555 Insurance Quotes

    A long overdue quiz episode pits Vieves against a series of quotes that are either progressive or Progressive. Plus, Andrew must atone for mispronouncing Canada’s sauciest-sounding city. These are the commercials we talked about this week Progressive: Bike Obsession https://www.ispot.tv/ad/6Zdh/progressive-bike-obsession Progressive: Jamie’s 40th https://www.ispot.tv/ad/InTY/progressive-jaimes-wife Progressive: Reverse Psychology https://www.ispot.tv/ad/bJyH/progressive-reverse-psychology Progressive: Progressive Ranch https://www.ispot.tv/ad/Ta18/progressive-progressive-ranch Progressive: Mara’s Mute Button https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KGh2qTDo-uI Progressive: Barbie Secret Client https://www.ispot.tv/ad/1XpV/progressive-barbie-secret-client Progressive: Alan’s Happy Place https://www.ispot.tv/ad/OBRj/progressive-alans-happy-place Progressive: Step-Jamie https://www.ispot.tv/ad/ICMH/progressive-step-jamie Progressive: After School Special Too https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aWK9AwpAqLM Progressive: Across the Hall https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fUs_M0PlWPs Progressive: Nature’s Metaphor https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=87VbBXlxIYo

    #554 Pocket Watch

    A Vieves Takeover leads to a discussion about a cheeky new campaign for pet sitting and a bid by an insurance giant to put more suburbanites onto the open road. Plus, a tiny new device can be tolerated by all kinds of idiots, and a defunct Canadian theme restaurant lives on through its jingle. Here are links to the ads we talked about on this week’s show: TrustedHousesitters - I like em big https://youtu.be/bHJ-pQRPUaA?si=LStcB4KaOrzP40g4 TrustedHousesitters - The perfect match Betty https://youtu.be/WIIjg7nLDJU?si=SlbRbLZ5yE0yPa5_ Liquid Death - Small Ones https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zUAvOywcPus TrustedHousesitters - Age is just a number https://youtu.be/4s8ETG1e8RA?si=EiSOqus-y0l02Yay Progressive - New Boyfriend https://www.ispot.tv/ad/gnzC/progressive-motorcycle-insurance-new-boyfriend Progressive - Father and Son https://www.ispot.tv/ad/bt05/progressive-motorcycle-father-and-son Progressive - More than a bike https://www.ispot.tv/ad/g2x7/progressive-motorcycle-insurance-more-than-a-bike Pocket - Take Notes In The Real World https://youtu.be/NuzUI3uhx94?si=TxzndsOlhVZT0nlk Down Unders - Regina, Saskatchewan https://youtu.be/dpaR1J4CccE?si=HO-cljcLH4vPHmBy

    #553 Cast Party

    Evidently, there’s nothing that a man in a full body cast can’t sell if this week’s show is any indication. From batteries to Band-Aids, these broken men can still pitch their hearts out.

    Inanimate objects do all the heavy lifting this week, selling everything from AI to email marketing. Plus, a brand apologizes so hard that Andrew is embarrassed for ever liking it, and we all say farewell to one of the greats from commercial history. Here are links to the ads we talked about in this week’s show: Geico - Wallet https://www.ispot.tv/ad/gZdG/geico-wallet All State - Tree Branch https://www.ispot.tv/ad/gpiw/allstate-mayhem-tree-branch Google Gemini - Mr. Fuzzy https://www.ispot.tv/ad/Bhml/gemini-mr-fuzzy Is the other person talking the AI?!

    #551 Pencil Pushers

    Andrew and Vieves consider the commercials that feature classic office supplies to sell everything from paper towels to Pepsi.
