    Liquid Death VP of Creative: Andy Pearson

    Send us a text Unless you live under a barn or were born in a rock (did I get that right?), you've heard of Liquid Death. The brand that sells canned water (CANNED WATER) is also one of the best - if not THE best - at producing hilarious, absurd, and unforgettable advertising. We had the honor of talking to Andy Pearson, one of their top creative minds for an hour or so...and let me just say...he did not disappoint. There's a lot of fun stuff in this one - you won't wanna miss it. (And if you wanna see how ruggedly handsome Andy is, check out the full video on our YouTube!) Don't forget to subscribe to this podcast and give us 5 stars if you're enjoying the episodes!

    Making "not-bleh" ads with Kia Zomorrodi: Founder of Bacon and Eggs Creative

    Send us a text Aaron Rogers. Manscaped. BuzzBall...these are just a few of the names Bacon and Eggs Creative has made side-splitting-ly hilarious ads with. Kia Zomorrodi, the man who started the award-winning, LA-based agency sat down with us (over zoom...but we were all definitely sitting) to talk creative leadership, AI, and LinkedIn cringey-ness. You won't want to miss this one (which I say a lot...but seriously...don't miss this one).  Note: Due to some technical difficulties, this episode is audio-only. Sorry YouTube fam 💔

    Jacques Spitzer: Founder and CEO of Raindrop Agency (most viral ad in YouTube HISTORY)

    Send us a text This is not a drill! Today's guest is one of the TOP dogs in digital advertising: Jacques Spitzer. We were honored and thrilled to chat with a man who has won 4 Emmys, launched the most viral ad in YouTube history (yes, you read that correctly) helped brands earn over a billion dollars in revenue, and created TWO Super Bowl commercials. Jacques was extremely generous to discuss how he got started, what commercials inspire him, what it's like to have something you created air on the biggest national stage possible, and a lot more. You won't want to miss this one!  Learn more about Jacques!

    MIAJ 006: Marketing Mishaps (Apple is crushing it....in a bad way)

    Send us a text Red Lobster discovers that shrimp is not, in fact, endless. Apple pisses people off with an ad that appears to literally crush creativity. Bumble takes a swing at telling women what to do with their bodies. WHEW. A lot has happened the past couple weeks in the world of marketing, and we're here to laugh about it. As always, we hope you enjoy the episode. And as always-er, please check out the full episode on YouTube. And as the most always, please give our podcast 5-stars. You did it on Yelp for that french dip you ate....do it for us and I PROMISE you'll live longer than your siblings.

    MIAJ 005: Kendrick Lamar's Marketing Masterclass

    Send us a text Hello dear friend / stranger / childhood bully! Thanks for listening to this week's show (or for at least reading this episode description).  If you want the FULL episode where we react to some funny (and not very funny) commercials, head over to our YouTube channel! Otherwise enjoy this audio-only experience that is much safer for when you're driving or welding or performing open heart surgery on someone's dad.  In this episode we enjoyed a very expensive $10 bottle of wine and talked about Facebook Marketplace and how to make an absolute fortune selling shovels, Drake and Kendrick's beef and it's marketing brilliance, and so much more that is escaping me at this very moment. But you get the idea! We hope you enjoy.   T & E

    Send us a text We're back in 4K!!! As promised, we have figured out a way to elevate the production quality of our show, and we couldn't be more excited to premiere our first full-length YouTube episode!

    56. Kidz Bop WAP (re-release)

    Send us a text What's up dear listener at home! Evan and I both had crazy allergies this week and could not bring ourselves to talk into a microphone 😂 So in the spirit of keeping the party going, we decided to re-air our most downloaded episode of all time. Does that make it our best episode of all time? That's for you to decide! But if after listening (or re-listening) you're answer is "yes, this episode you made over a year ago was your best" PLEASE keep that sh*t to yourself! It's not great for morale, okay? We just lost Mitch, okay? We're going through a tough time, OKAY?! 😂  All jokes aside, we sincerely hope you enjoy this throwback. We have lots of fun and new things heading your way, and we're just so grateful you're along for the ride.  Peace, love, and pleasegiveusfivestars.  -T & E

    MIAJ 003: We drink champagne to celebrate our first client! What's DuoLingo's secret? How to WIN with close friends on IG!

    Send us a text We're stoked to share with you another fun MIAJ episode! We start off with popping bottles (well just one bottle) to commemorate our agency's first official client, then after dreaming a bit about the future, we REALLY get into it with some marketing ideas inspired by Duo Lingo and their extremely silly and fun approach to social media. We discuss how Billie Eilish added 8 MILLION followers by using the "close friends" feature on Instagram, and how you can too (results may vary but we CAN guarantee you'll add at least 7 million followers). Do we also talk about our new YouTube episodes, how to make funerals funny, and why British people drink so much? You'll have to listen to find out! ;)  But yes. Yes we do talk about those things. Enjoy the episode and as always, shoot us a DM on IG - we'd love to hear what you have to say about the show - good or bad. As long as it's GOOD! Anyways. Leave us five stars or whatever. Cheers to the weekend, friend.
