Love the show!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!π¨π»βππ²π΄πππππποΈππ
I love the show so so much please keep it up. Also the new episode of this has referenced minor league baseball teams names being related to the town or area, another example of this is the Tacoma Rainers which is a reference to the name of Mount Rainierπ²π²π²πͺ¨πͺ¨πͺ¨π±π±π±πͺ΅πͺ΅πͺ΅π―π―π―π―π―π―π―

99% Commercial
99% Commercial is my go-to podcast for trendy, relevant commercial adverts ably vocalized by experienced personality Roman Mars.
Each episode features insightful adverts for a plethora of products and services of interest to hip, young techno centric listeners, from furniture to job search to therapy services - 99% Commercial has it all in one convenient, easy to access podcast.
Note that the commercial messages are interrupted by a thematic feature of varying subject matter, once heavily based on design but more recently of a more βwokeβ virtue signaling nature in keeping with modern media trends.
If youβre like me and you subscribe for the adverts, thereβs always the βskip aheadβ soft key on the screen to get past the feature segments quickly.
I highly recommend 99% Commercial with Roman Mars - try it yourself!
