After These Messages Podcast Andrew Walsh & Genevieve Haas

Christmas comes early for Andrew and Vieves when the New York Times’ Caity Weaver profiles living legend Stephanie Courtney a.k.a. “Flo from Progressive.” Plus, long distance calling in the 90s was absolutely demented, and a Philly lotto campaign is so nice they made it twice.

Here are links to the ads and articles we talked about in this week’s show:

Andrew and Vieves get into the Thanksgiving spirit with a look at ads for Turkey Days gone awry. Plus, how sad does a grocery store’s marketing have to be before you’ll shop there? And a fast food restaurant evidently snuck one past the goalie.

When a genius like Christopher Guest assembles a troupe of talented comedic actors and improvisers, it’s only a matter of time until commercial casting directors cash in. From credit cards to cable competitors, the stars of the Guestiverse have sold it all. Plus, Andrew waxes rhapsodic about Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, and people are getting weird about siblings.
