1, 2, 3, 4. 1, 2, 3, 4. HAL We back with another unique. DECDs today, but before we let you know what it's going to be, It's your boy DJ MC Jag with a boy, Steve. What up, Steve?

Unique, say the least. But we still remain the DJs. I like to spin it. Mix it. Throw it back and dissect it. That's right. Today's episode is, hey, remember that commercial? Remember that?

You remember that? I love that every day. Or I hated that commercial. It was just part of your life. It got stuck in your head. Heard it on repeat. Against your will, ultimately. and we're going to take a little walk through memory lane to remember some of that.

We've been trying to do this for a little while, right? Steve, like, it's been a couple different times we recorded. We're like, we're going to do the commercial episode right now. We've got to do it. And then we were like, ah, or at least I was. I'm not ready. It always got, like, push to the back. I'm not ready.

Before we even explain that, let's get into why that was the song we opened with because that was, of course, Chris Brown forever. Mixed in with the double mint gum commercial. What was that? Spearmint Riggily. Was that what it was? Double your pleasure. Double your fun.

That's the statement of the great men in double-income. That was the one. So that was a commercial that was incredibly popular campaign when we were kids, where there'd be, like, twins? Look at that. There's always, I mean, this commercial goes, like, predates me, the one that's, like, behind you. I mean, I think this is even older.

But, like, it must have been an ad campaign that ran for, like, decades. Because when I was a kid, yeah, it would just be a bunch of twins doing stuff. The two old guy twins, like, taking their hat off at the same time. There's like the twins, like with their finger and like the water fountain. And it's just like, aren't twins fun? It made me want a twin. Let's be honest.

This single commercial alone made me want a twin. It made me want a double mint gum. And, you know, I didn't think I needed one up until that point. But then Chris Brown makes this song of what, like 2006. And there's, I feel like two main things. Like, so this ended up being like, I think the first song that really put Chris Brown on the map in fact. But the thing that really

like stood out to me I think everybody else about the song was one that he has that random double your flavor. What does he say there? You got it. Well, I only remembered half of it,

so I don't got it. Because we only got one night. Double your flavor. Double your fun. That's it. And dance forever. And that was like, so I remember hearing that back then

I was like, dude, did he get paid by Regley for that? Like, what the hell? Because like, that's kind of too perfect to be like random. You're just like, you just actually said double your flavor, double your fun. Like, nobody talks like that, really. And a little known fact.

If you actually look at the video, if you look at the video behind me really quick, yes. You'll see that there's actually, Chris Brown is killing his dance moves as he always does. Yeah. Look at that footwork. Oh, it's on the wrong side. That's why. Okay, so on this scene right here, watch, you'll see in the bottom left a piece of gum kind of coming, right?

I made that up. You guys are all watching acting like you were. There's no gum in this entire thing. I just wanted to get you guys all riled up. focused on nothing. And that's the kind of shit that Justin finds amusing us. He really gets off

in that kind of jokes. You should see me on trivia, dude. I was talking about something that didn't exist and you guys all thought I was, because why would I be lying about that? You know,

that was funny to me. And everybody else in the group was just kind of like, okay. Yeah, it's never that funny, but it's always crack up to me. All right.

But then I was going to say that the other thing that this song got remembered for is that wedding video that people did. Remember that? Oh, yeah. People still do that to this day.

I do they really? Because you DJ a lot of weddings, so you tell me. It was a big thing and then it faded and then it sits comes back every once in a while. It's still a thing for sure. Yeah. Because people saw as kids like, it was like early YouTube. That was like one of the early, like, viral YouTube clips of like them all doing.

They got all the way to the office and shit. But that, that ended up being like what the song's legacy is. And, you know, I'm sure it still plays. And I don't know. No, it doesn't. Yeah, really. It's really just those two things.

Great song. It's great for weddings to this day. It's actually made a comeback in the events. So a good song. Double Mint. Love the gum. It doesn't fade too quick. Both an epic commercial and I remember both.

It is a good gum. I do remember that when I've had my gum stage is a go-to. It's a go-to of mine. Minty is other commercials that you guys all might remember. Do you guys all remember watching Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles? All right. So this is, before you play this ad, this is what I want to say about it. This is why this episode has been like, there's actually a little back story here.

In our Tom's Diner episode, which we recorded back in like, September 2025, I think. At the end of the episode, we played a whole I Dream of Jeannie ad campaign that ran on Nick and Night that used the Tom's Diner thing. And from that conversation extended Justin talking about how somehow he remembered this one Pizza Hut ad that used to play in like this VHS that he used to always have.

That we all remember. Well, I don't think we all remember it. I actually do, but I don't know if we could say we all remember. But you'll be surprised. I bet all of our fans remember. remember this. The next episode we were supposed to record was actually us doing this exact episode. And we were on fire. And we recorded a solid 30 minutes of like this same kind of stuff right here. And then at one point I reached over to Scratch Justin's DJ. And he went to do a DJ scratch from the opposite angle.

I knocked over the task cam, which we used to record and the battery fell out and we lost the whole episode. And it's really hard to repeat an episode. You got to give it a break because you don't know what you said already. you know, if you're repeating jokes. We were like, let's just shelf that and we'll come back to it. And we tried to do a couple times. And now we're finally doing it. We had our last recording session, which we did from like 1 a.m. till like 6 a.m.

We were flying until that 6 a.m. And the sun came up. And my brain said, you're supposed to be asleep, sir. And I was like, you're right. You're right. And we couldn't do it. So now we're here. And we made it.

We're finally doing the commercials you remember episode. We got some good ones. Now this is the one. This is the one of the reasons why we started this. We're disgusting. Yeah, yeah. You guys all remember it. First, out the gate of the cassettes of Teenage Mutiny the Turtles.

Let's get into it. Such a classic. Sing it, man. Don't remember the words. There's strikes on the batter. Some runners are on. That suddenly everyone's looking at me. My mind has been wondering what could it be.

As they point to the sky and I look up above and our baseball falls into my club. I play. And you know how to catch. You got to know how to throw. That's why I play in right field way out where the dandelions grow. As a proud sponsor of Little League Baseball, Pizza Hut welcomes all the kids who make it great. Making it great. Oh my goodness

You guys all remember it So yeah that's the stupid commercial That Jensen's obsessed with That he thinks we all know And remember And I promise that 98% of people listening to it That don't hear it

Won't remember it But I randomly do Because I think I had the same Ninja Turtle VHS But Everybody remembers that Set the stage What exactly

Describe what you said? There's questions that I've always had Even when I was a kid Why are the double mint guys on the screen Oh let's go Let's get into the pizza I got you Questions I've had ever since I was a kid

Up in the distance, the games riding on, there's strikes on the batter, the runners are on. It doesn't say how many outs are happening, right? But there strikes on the batter, runners are on. The very next sentence is, and suddenly everyone is looking at me. Why would they? My mind has been wondering what could it be, my man, you are playing in a live game.

All right, pause the video. Okay, yeah, there's a thing I remember about playing little league. He has no idea. Yeah, yeah, he's like, what could it possibly be? Like, why everybody would always be sudden looking at you? He's literally shrugging like, what's up? What's up? And you just heard the crack of the bat, by the way.

Look at this shit. By the way. Look at the shit. He just refuses all get out. And I remember in literally the shittiest kid on the team was usually put in right field because most batters are righty. And they hit this way. And so the guy and not that many hitters are going to hit it to outfield when you're like really young. So like the kid that like can't catch your field generally you toss him in right field and just hope nothing ever comes his way.

This kid absolutely plays the portrait of what you would expect a right fielder when they're like seven years old ago. The coach is immediately... This guy, I mean, whatever got hit to him is he... Look at this guy standing on like, oh! He's excited, dude. I assume that guy has a relation to somebody. Is that Goldberg? That's a young Goldberg.

That's a young Goldberg. Young Goldberg. That's before Sandler. He wasn't in Sandlaught. He was in Mighty Ducks and then Heavywates. Heavy weights, that's it. Randomly the catcher. When I was a kid, anytime there was a commercial or a show like this, including the sandlot or a movie, the catcher was always the faggot on the team.

What was that about? Yeah, I don't know. I guess he's all geared up. I mean, he was also the goalie. I feel like Goldberg started a lot of fat kids stereotypes that, like, you know, were just. That's those young movies for me. They carried everybody through the 90s and, like, yeah, he was like the go-to. So, yeah, this kid's looking up.

So he's confused. He's confused. Mine has been wondering, what could it be? They point to the sky and I look up above. and a baseball falls into my glove. What a catch, right? This reminds me of the sandalight when Benny. Benny was like, just put your glove up.

And he hits it right to Smalls' glove. Yeah. And this kid didn't move. He didn't run to the ball. Let me see the catch. First of all, look at him looking up. Oh, what? Oh, shit.

And then here comes the ball. And he does the same thing Smalls does, but he literally doesn't even look into his glove. He's like, no, no, no, no. And that ball comes straight into his glove. and a baseball falls into my glove. You got so many things had to happen correctly for you, sir. You were standing in the right spot.

You just happened to put your glove up. He got smolled. You got smalls. Literally, and everybody thinks he's like awesome. Like catcher, Goldberg's literally covering his eyes. He's astounded.

He got the ball. Look at him. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But wait, my favorite shot comes after this when they show the coach again. Let me tell you what the coach is thinking. I fucking hate this kid, dude. How the fuck did I end up with this kid on my team?

Like, dude. This kid literally didn't even look the ball into his glove. Now his dad's going to be telling me he should be playing center field and everything. And even as a kid, remember watching this, I play right field. It's important to know. You got to know how to catch. You got to know how to throw. No, usually you don't.

That's why you're in right field. It feels like this kid didn't know either. He is just kind of a good. And he plays where the dandy lines grow. The dandelions are only growing because nothing happens out there. He's literally been picking Danny lines And that's been his focus He didn't even hear the bat

Or understand why anybody was actually Like looking at his way I'd be like dude Yeah And Pizza Hut was the pot It was the go-to spot Let's not like back in those days Like Pizza Hut was like

That's where you go for the trophy presentation The post game piece And still is today If Pizza Hut wants to sponsor us We got you Pizza Hut is amazing Yeah we're talking about But only if we're sponsored

At this point it was But can still be Yeah. This actually someone reminds me of my earliest, like, Little League memory. Because, like, when I started Little League, like, I know about the right field thing because I started my first year ever playing seventh, when I was like seven. And I started in, like, T-ball. And I was like, this T-ball is stupid. I don't like T-ball. Like, I just didn't like it. It just felt like everybody was like too, you. I just felt too basic for me. So my older brother was in, like, on a team. He was on the A's.

The way the Culver City leagues had it, like, it wasn't so much age-based. They'd had like more majors and minus and it. But like the wide gap of like ages that you could be was like no like. So I was seven. My older brother, Cheers older than me was like one of the younger kids on his team. All of a sudden my first league, you're in Little League.

I'm playing with like kids like four or five years younger than me, you know. I'm about saying younger than you. What are you playing with fucking two year old? No, older than me. And like that's what it felt. I'm playing with babies, dude. I'm killing these kids. That's what it felt like in T-ball.

I remember I did like one. Unpractice the t-ball and I was like this is stupid like what the hell How young are these fucking kids? Yeah, like everybody felt like super young there. It just felt like this is, like we shouldn't even be playing this as an organized sport. So I saw through that bullshit right away. So they moved me up and now I'm suddenly like the by far the youngest kid in the league. You're seven and a 10 and yeah, yeah, yeah, like that.

Oh my goodness. So I am right field all the time because I'm like, I'm like that young. Like I've never really played baseball before and I had this coach. the first base coach would always be like, I know what the pitcher's going to throw. So I'm going to give you this sign for swing, and this sign means take. And his take sign with just his hands on his knees.

And he, motherfucker never had his hands on his knees, dude. He never wanted me to swing. And the thing is like, I was okay. I could hit the ball well in, like practice. But with everybody else,

I was being bigger than me, like I always was like, I went up to bat, like thinking like, all right, well, first base coach Louis wants me to get a walk. I'm going to see if I get a walk.

But I had all, I told people, And I don't know if anybody ever listened to me, but I was like, you know what, when I finally get a hit because, like, halfway this season, I got like no fucking hits. And I told them, if I ever get a hit, you know what I'm going to do?

I'm going to slide into first base. And I was like excited. I always just kept that in the back of my mind. I don't think anybody else even ever knew I was going to do that or heard me say it. Or remember, you told him that they're like, yeah,

yeah, you said that. So then one day, I remember we were playing against the Royals and they had a pitcher who was actually smaller than me. Oh, you got to hit that. Yeah.

And it just gave me the confidence. confidence because I was always the smallest kid in the league and then suddenly I was like oh this kid's even smarter than me I could hit him so I came up there with confidence he chucks it in there I smack it I didn't even look where the ball went I was just so excited I was finally getting a hit I slide in a first base and I'm like yeah I look back at the dugout and everybody's like go go go they're all like exactly what like he was looking at like everybody's like so then I get up and I run a second and I slide in a second and I'm like yeah and they're all like like go go.

So you fully could have a home run? And then I ran a third and then I was like ready to go home and then the pitcher finally get the ball back and I was like, all right, I guess I'll pull up with the triple. So you fully had a home run. I should have had a home run with like my first. I don't know how far I smacked it, but yeah. You slid twice. It's a guaranteed 100% home run infield.

Well, I was a stupid seven-year-old kid. That would love to see that smack. I bet you smacked. I know. Yeah. I mean, what if it actually went out and that would have even more epic. If it went over the fence and I, and I'm sitting there. sliding at first and they're all like, what are you doing?

So to a degree, I relate to this kid and just like how he was like not expected to suddenly make the play. But also, fuck that kid, dude. He didn't even know the bat hit the ball. And he was confused why everybody was like yelling at him and everything. But like, you know, at least Pizza Hut was there to give everybody pizzas and cherry Coke at the end of the game. So that's a commercial that, uh... It's a classic.

I'm glad we went over it. I always wanted to discuss. the fact that he was just standing there and what did you call it again? What was it going? Smallsing it. He was smalsing it. Yeah, yeah. All right, your commercial. What do you got for? All right. So anybody else that grew up in the 90s will remember these commercials playing on a loop, I'd say, like mid-late 90s.

You will recognize the sound and the disc of which they're attached to. Are these the CDs that you're up? Imagine a world where time drifts slowly. a world where music carries you away. Experience pure moods, the perfect soundtrack for your way of life.

Direct from Europe, this multi-platin collection has won the hearts of millions. All right. That's right. They came with the X-Men. They came with the X-Men song, which made us all learn. You're talking about the X-Files?

Oh, yeah, X-Files. Yeah, yeah, that's what I meant. No, but here's the thing. Okay, so, like, we didn't even know that song was called tubular bells. And back in those days, we couldn't just download music, you know? You couldn't just get tubular bells on fucking Apple music. So a lot of these songs were just, like, by random artists we had never heard of, but maybe you had heard in, like, a movie or a TV show or a commercial or something.

I mean, like, this one is called Fire Walk with Me, the theme from Peaks by Angelo Bar Alamenti. Yeah, those were on repeat at night, though, weren't they? Like you'd be falling asleep And you just hear it Yeah yeah Especially late at night Yeah yeah yeah And if you left your TV on nightly

It came on next night Same time And then the next night same time So every night You would get the same commercial With the same soundtrack So that Ha

Yeah I used to hear that And I know it to this day I feel like I know what he's saying But you would just hear it in movies Like that one with Jonathan Taylor Thomas And Jevi Chase

Like stepdad Or something like that Like that was like you knew that song from but then you'd have then you'd have but then but then this CD showed you like we've collected all these songs from Europe such as adlemus performed by adlemiss like I don't know who that the hell is adlemas I don't know but all of a sudden you hear it you'd be like oh it's this song that song well you got to the end of it oh it was this one From Europe is multi-platin-clatine-cloth.

That one. I mean, they move quick. All right, so the way these commercials used to operate was, like, they would have the name of the song going up, and then they'd be like the artist in the name. And then the one in yellow was the one that was playing right now. Yeah, yeah. And it was a good one, though.

Yeah, but what was that song? And then you'd be like, oh, but then you see the yellow one. You're like, oh, that's a good one. I got to remember that one. And the collection of all of it was enough to where people would be like, you know what, that is out of a nice collection. Like, there was like three or four songs in there. I would like to play while I'm doing my.

garden work while I'm hosting my dinner parties and at that time there would be I'd say most times you went to like a parent's house of a like a friend of yours or like they were like playing music there's a good chance they'd be playing pure moods everybody bought this fucking CD and it went beyond this like once the success of this started happening I feel like they started coming out with a bunch of these like this CDs that were like a combination of music and one I remember the most but that really like took off that you'll even know the kind of connection to this day is they would be like, oh, the best of the 70s commercial and they would be a bunch of 70s. And then it was like, oh, the 80s and then the 90s CD came out and they

just ran ad time on like, it was like 10 p.m. on on like every channel. Like you were going to hear these ads. And the fun fact about that is then they got to the thing where it was like the 70s one did well, the 80s one did well, the 90s one day. And then they eventually got one and they were called. This one's just called now. And it's all the songs that are popular. Now, yeah. And then from that point, after they were like, this is now too. And then once the now thing stops making sense, once they start making a map, they change the name to now. That's what I call music.

And that's a volume of music CDs that lasted to the duration of musics. I think. They ended up with like 50 volumes of that. So the duration of music. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And they had the X-Files theme on there. Feeling of Pure Moods. To order pure moods. Wait, go back to that one.

That was the best one. None of us knew. No other collection. Settiness by Enigma. To order pure moods. And then they would always give that same, that end screen would always be that bright blue screen with yellow writing with like the phone number. And like they would have all the credit cards on the top.

Like we accept Visa and MasterCard. P.O. Box. They give you a P.O. box number. To this day, I don't know what a P.O. Box is. I grew up with most commercials ending with a P-O-box, but it's like, yeah, it's like somewhere you can mail. That's not an actual solid address. Do people still send a P-O-boxes?

I don't know. But if you want Pure Moods, P-O-Box, 444-A-R, Colorado Springs, Colorado. All right, what's your commercial? What's up next? I don't know if you could top Pure Moods, but I'm willing to dole out an effort. Most of mine are food-based, is what I'm noticing.

So the next one I have is, do you remember, or what would you do actually for a Klondike bar? Do you recall? Of course I remember. That's my chicken. What would you do for a Klondike bar? Would you be a chicken for a Klondike bar? How about you?

No cluck, no Klondike. Oh, nice chicken. No room for sticks. What would you do for a conduct bar? Just a few more clocks. Two things. Wow, they went all out, didn't it? They really did.

Look at that woman's head. That was Channel 3 news, but it was the best one I found because it was funny. All right, two things. One, it was annoying to me that, you know, but this was covered on the news? Why? That's how lame news used to be. I mean, it's, to be honest, this was like the happy side. This is the last five minutes.

And we were like, and then we sent Joy out to see what people would do for a Klondag bar. You know that silly ad campaign? Yeah, I guess I could still see it happening. I don't know. I don't watch local news. It's like 98% horrible news, like a fire that was like two miles away from you. Like somebody's home got kidnapped. And then they were like, and lastly, we sent Wacky Steve on the street to see what people would do for a Klondag bar.

But the other thing with Klondike was their whole thing was You do anything for it and then you hear that immediately You're like, I would do very little for a Klondike bar actually

Like almost like nothing I would Wouldn't even cross the street I mean it's a fine snack but I'm not crossed the street I disagree with you especially as a kid Now as an adult I'm a little more less sweet Would you clook like a chicken? They don't say you have to do it good Yeah I mean

Those people were giving And it sucks. Here's my thing with that. It's like, will I cluck like a chicken? It's like, yeah, but does your TV camera have to be in my face about it? Like, I don't want this on the news. It's just like me, you and the homie and you want to see me cluck real quick. Like, I'll be like, my God.

All right, hit me up with that Klondag. Give me that Klondag piece, though. Yeah. But that's about as far as I'd be willing to go for a Klondike. It's fine. You get like a whole pack of them. Some of those commercials started getting extra. I remember one was like, would you murder your sister?

It's like, no, I think that was a family guy episode. Oh, okay. Yeah, like an early family guy. They were like, would you, would you kill a man? What would you do for a Kwandite bar? Would you stand on one leg? Sure. Would you act like a monkey?

Uh-huh. Would you kill a man? Um, uh, well. All right, I got another one if you're ready. Hey, look, it's my turn. All right, go ahead. All right. another 90s staple that everybody has to remember.

And you'll know it two seconds into the theme, maybe even one. Doesn't matter what comes. Fresh goes better in life. With Mentos fresh and cool. Staying fresh. Staying and cool. With Mentos. The Fresh Maker.

Okay. So my favorite thing about the Mentos commercials is it's a fucking mint, right? Yeah. It's literally just... Shit used to always go down. And they saw me. Every one of these commercials had like some crazy thing happening. And they're like, I don't know how I'm going to get out of this one.

And then they popped the Mentos and they're like, wait. I got this. I got it. I think I got something. I got something that's going to shake the system. I got something. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So in the one that just played, the woman gets her feet stuck in the, oh, yeah, her heels break as she's like walking.

And then she just decides to break off the heels. And she's like, I'm going to go flat. Yeah And that's the whole thing on that one They get more creative as they go along But yeah the pose at the end is always key This one's my favorite It doesn't matter what comes

Fresh goes better in life With mentos fresh and full of life I'm on only minimal pay That's such a good song though This one I want you to see So this one They can't get the waiter's attention right All right so homie takes off

the entire like tablecloth of the table from another one. He wraps it around just so happens to be wearing the same white colored shirt that the waiter's wearing. And he just goes and grabs like a tray of drinks and he like brings it to his table. And then the waiter looks at him and he's like, oh, you got me, you silly goose. And then he just flashes the mentos at him. I've been to know a lot of restaurants of my time.

Yeah. No fucking shot that. No chance. One waiter. That would be cool with that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, oh, I just took it out. I just got a serve by all the table.

Look, I'm wearing the apron. That's actually a tablecloth. I can't serve myself now. Seems reasonable to me. I don't know if you saw I'm holding Mentos. You should because I'm smiling at you. And you're welcome. And you're welcome.

And the smile is fresh as fuck. Because they're Mentos up. All right, wait, wait, wait. One more. This one, there were so many. Oh, man. Like this, I found a YouTube video that just like plays a whole bunch of them. Okay.

In this one, the guys parked in front of like a whoops. Oh, there's a bunch of Mentos? Yeah, yeah. It's just a whole series of Mentos ads. on YouTube. Okay, so the guy parked in front of like she can't get out, right? And then he's like, he's a busy guy. He's got a briefcase in a suit and he's like, time. I got, do you see the briefcase? I got none of it. I got none of it. You see the briefcase? Do you think I should move my car? I'm not going to. Girl takes the Mentos and she's like, I got it. I'm going to somehow get four men to lift up a car out of the way.

And his guy is just going to look out of the window and he's like, what the fuck? What do you do? Oh, my car's my car. What are you doing with Brutai? Over here, like, lifting the whole car and, like, walk it into the street. But guess what? She flashed the bentos and everything's good. It's all gravy. There's a whole bunch of them. There's always the one.

All right. I remember the one where the guy will let, oh, goes, he sits on a bench, does not realize it just got painted. All right. They turned himself into a strip. Stick with me on this one. He's a striped suit. He's like, what? I got paint on my suit.

That's not going to fly. Everybody's going to see my white painted suit that clearly. And then he's like, now I have white stripes. And then he's like, you know what I'm going to do? And he just does like, he does like the tootsie roll on the bench. And then the painter's looking at him like, this guy's lost his marbles. And he's fucking up my paint job. And he messed up my paint.

I just painted that whole bench, you fucking doofus. And then the guy's like, look. And then he's got like a perfectly striped suit because it's fully how it would play. You just rolled around on a freshly painted bench. But it's all good because guess what? Mentos, the Freshmaker. Which I'm going to say, actually, bomb men. Have you ever had a Mentos?

They started making flavor-offs. And if you put them in Coca-Cola, explosions. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Next one, I'm just going to play, because we all know it. Go. I am an annuity, but I need cash now. Call J.G. Wentworth. 877 cash now.

877 cash now. They have thousands. They'll help you, too. What love some of cash they will take to you. If you get long-term payments, but you need cash now. Call J.G. Wentworth, 877 cash now. 877 cash now. 877 cash now.

877 cash now. It's your money. Use it when you need it. Call J.J. Wetworth, 877 cash now. Call now. Yeah, fuck that commercial. Absolutely. despise that commercial

How has it been going on For so many years That is the in between Of Jerry Springer From what I remember Yeah, that used to be like the daytime Jerry Springer That you had to deal with the JG

Wentworth commercial And then Jay G and then Springer Would come back on Armory But yeah that's been going on since we're kids Right? I feel like it's been going on forever Yes And I specifically remember

For some reason When I worked in the NFL newsroom And then we would have like The NFL Network like Playing on like somebody's TV So you'd be hearing like that NFL network within the newsroom. That commercial used to come on all the time,

and there was a thing in the newsroom where, like, people would start singing it together. Like, it was a fun thing to do, and I just remember being like, I didn't do it. I really fucking hate that song. It's such an annoying jingle. Did you say something?

Did you tell me something before we started? There was something like illegal, or they're just, it's super, like, a... So John Oliver just did an episode. I don't even think it was a full episode. He does these on last week tonight. Okay. He does these, like, bonus bits on, like, YouTube

that are always like really funny because it reminds me of what we do because he'll take he'll do a full very detailed video on like random specific shit he did a whole one on uh airbud i remember once actually multiple times he's covered airbud like he's done multiple like full like half episodes on airbud uh so then he did a whole one on this commercial and and specifically the company jg wentworth and uh the kind of scam behind it about like a whole idea behind is like if people are owed like a lot of money in a settlement. They'll be like, hey, we can give you a bunch of that money right now. It's just we're going to take like 75% of the payout, but like we'll give you like, if you need it now, you have like 75K tomorrow and, you know, everything's good. And I make

them like send these contracts that they don't really fully understand and everything. Yeah. I heard there was a story where a guy was supposed to get like $2.5 million. Yeah, yeah. They cover guy. He's about to get $2.5 million and it ends up getting like $800K. That's it. And he doesn't really fully realize it until they explain that to him. And so, yeah, kind of fuck. J.G. Wentworth, you know? They're like, just taking advantage of people that, like, are in a situation where they're being entitled to money and they're just like, yeah, but you want, you want, like, you want more like today, right? You know, like, you're going to have this slump sun in your bank tomorrow. I mean, you're supposed to get way more than that, but like instead of waiting over that, like, it's like the Bobby Bonilla contract thing where he gets like the deferred payment, like, of, you know, one million every year for like fucking 35 years. That's crazy. Instead of that. What a great pull that was.

Yeah, yeah. So yeah, I hate that commercial, but it did remind me of like, it got me thinking of like, what's the most annoying commercials that just get stuck in your head? And I didn't even have this on my list, but I'm going to play it now because this is, you talk about daytime TV when you were kids that you just used to hear the same commercial all the time. I don't even know if this was a local California thing. Everybody was just like everywhere. Hit it.

It's weird that anybody remember this because it's just like a local plumber. Southern California for plumbing and heating, your man is Jack Stephanino. Do you remember this? Just charge it. Your man is Jack Stefansky. Stefan. Jack Stefan. He's so irate that this fucking announcer, I can't get the name right.

Jack Stefanovitch. Stefan. Jack, Stefan. He got all low with it. He got low with it. The third one, he was like, Stefan, you fucking dildo, dude. How are you still not getting this? It's not a complicated name.

It's two syllables. But then he nails it on the fourth try, and he goes, he gets at one of these. Call your man by telephone. Jack Stephan. We're in the white pages. What a weird flex at the end. That used to be, hey, pre-internet, you direct people to white pages. Jack, Staffen.

Yeah, yeah. It would make you remember that name, though, right? I guarantee you remember this game, and you wanted it. You ready? Sometime in the future. The ultimate challenge. Crossfire Yes

Not only does that take me back to my childhood Shut up And that's what it used to do Sometimes it would come on We would just play like multiple times Twice right after each other Not only does that remind me of my childhood But it also takes me back to how my childhood

advertisement was full of false advertisements That totally made me think shit was way cooler Yeah apparently that game sucked Did you ever play that? Dude they just showed it It's like just clicking marbles Yeah, but I'm trying to battle you. I mean, I see it still in this day.

It seems cool, but apparently I've read things that this game was terrible. What they don't say in this fine print is does not come included with awesome badass theme song, lightning, literal fire, or like crazy. Hoverboard to come into the game. None of that happens. You open the box and it's just a game where you like click marbles back and forth. And yeah, it gets tired quickly because you will sing that song. I know I never got it. I never got it either.

I do remember getting multiple, like, you would buy, like this is what we used to sell us. I mean, I'm sure kids these days still have, like commercials that are being like, oh my God, mom, I got to get it.

I remember I really wanted this at-home hockey set randomly because they made it look old. The one that had the air that was all big, and it would flow. It shit sucked. Dude. They made it look like that shit. That shit glided on,

like all services, carpet, wooden floors, outside on the ground. I wanted that. I got it. Yeah. That's actually the reason I stopped believing in,

one of the reasons I stopped believing Santa. I think I just found that in the closet. Oh, that's a crazy saddler. I actually think I would have been more into hockey as a kid if that shit actually played like the commercials said it. Because like I was new to hockey. I hadn't played it really before.

And then I was like, I want to get good high. Look how fun hockey looks at it. So funny. You and I went through the same exact thing together. So the hockey stick was like, spin plastic. Shit.

Yeah. It had like no like care. You couldn't hit anything. You could barely hit a camera. And the hockey puck was fat as everything. It was like 10 pounds. Like it did not. It aired a little bit if you put it on a flat, flat surface and it would slightly go up because it was a little things.

But if you try to put on any surfacing ability, yeah. Any surface other than a polished wax floor. Anything else? Maybe ice. Maybe ice. Maybe ice. It probably played on ice. It had like little fans.

It was like the original. It was like an original drone. Except it lifted. It's what it looked like. centimeter off the ground. I don't even remember. I don't even think I got my own lid. We don't even have that commercial right here.

I don't remember what it was called. I probably buried it in my head because I was like, back in my mind. It was terrible immediately, wasn't it? It was terrible. I think I tried to play it. I think because it was like all I asked for for like Christmas or my birthday when I was like a kid once, like I tried to give it a few goes. And the net was like a bullshit. It wasn't a net.

They really schooled us on that. It was literally, it was just cheap plastic that you'd be like, oh, you can kind of build your own goal. but I mean it's not going to yeah that I think that's crazy we didn't even talk about that prior to prepping but yeah I had the same exact issue happened to me with that same exact product that's crazy speaking of another one more we almost uh I think we've done a lot because we can go on forever with commercials let's be honest there's so many commercials everyone remembers all right I want to hit him with this one go ahead I want to hit the PSA segment of my commercials because this is a commercial I definitely remember that you'll know when you hear it and

And I think he'll be shocked to see who the actor actually is in this. Hey, you? Me? Yeah. Did you ever try cigarettes? I was 14. Any reason? I guess I was trying to be cool or something.

Really? Well, yeah. So you tried it because other people were doing it? Yeah, I guess. And why don't you do it anymore? A lot of reasons. Just didn't like it, you know? I don't need to smoke to, like, fit in.

Hold out. We finished? Mac over here before he was anything crazy and always said you remember that commercial no oh dude i remember hearing that commercial like all the time and i was like mac dude yeah yeah and i just recently came across it on like ticot or something and i was like dude i never connect i never knew that was mac the kid with the attitude is like why you asking me questions yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah i don't smoke cigarette whatever it whatever yeah yeah whatever yeah whatever dude i got i got i got friends to hang with dude i'm are we done yeah yeah so i just want to cover the the the p

PSA thing real quick because when I was a kid, I don't know if this still happens, but they used to do these crazy PSAs where they'd have characters, like people you knew from TV, like just try to tell you, hey, drugs are bad. And there's a few examples I brought of that. Barbara Bush. Barbara Bush. See, nobody thought Barbara Bush was cool. Not Barbara Bush. Reagan. Nancy Reagan had the one for drugs. I don't think that either one of those would have. You would expect that from Barbara Bush, but would you would expect it from this guy? This is crack. Rock cocaine. It isn't glamorous or cool or kid stuff. It's the most addictive kind of cocaine and it can kill you. What's really bad is nobody knows how much it takes. So every time you use it, you risk dying.

Look at peewee over here. Pee Wee Herman literally holding a crack rock in the studio being like, This is crack This is I'm surprised he wasn't He never He never went to the second octave No second octave on the crack commercial

A lot of those PSAs were funny as hell Dude a lot of them They're like Even the one on Hero Kumar No Yeah There's like Here's one with Captain Lou O'Bano

As Mario I'm Captain Lou Elbano Talking about drugs Kids Don't be afraid to say no Anyone in asking you use drugs Is not your friend drugs can and will kill.

Remember, don't be afraid to turn to your priest, your rabbi, your minister, your mom's, you dare, your teachers, because drugs can kill. And if you do drugs, you go to hell before you die. Whoa. Captain Lou! Just dropping smoke bums out of nowhere! A huge left turn right at the end, just... Hey, by the way, if you do drugs, you're fucked.

Sporting the Mario cap and everything. He's like... He looks like a porn star Mario, man. So this was a Super Mario Super Show. I used to watch this actually when I was a kid. They would go back and forth between a cartoon of Mario and then it would have him being actual real life Mario, like getting into like Mario adventures and stuff. And yeah, Captain Louis Obano from my childhood telling you, if you do drugs, you'll probably die and then go to hell.

Just, yeah, I mean, they didn't need to like drop any kind of. Like they would really just hammer on home that. They're bad. They'll probably kill you. And then they would just throw another element in like, you know, Mike, oh, hell. Oh, yeah, yeah, wait, I want to get that one too. And I got one more Luobano one while we're at it.

It's not just drugs. Get him gone. Get him gone. Do you know someone that owns a gun or a knife? Remember, guns and knives aren't toys. They can hurt people or even kill them. It could happen to your best friend or you. Even if you think the gun isn't loaded

Or the knife isn't sharp Leave them alone You wouldn't want to be wrong Remember guns and knives can kill I'm telling it to you Alright That wasn't as funny as the first one I like that he says it could happen to you

Even if you think the gun isn't loaded Or the knife isn't sharp Probably don't go in there and just fuck around with it You know what I mean? Even though I'm dressed up as Mario And my game is full of bullets They're not as fun as I'm make them look because you can't stomp on them. All right.

No, my last one that I wanted to do is another classic. Final one and we'll go out on this one. This is our final, yeah, we'll see what we got. All right. Do you recognize this song? Do we dissect that one? Are we dissect it as a group? Never.

No. No, but I do remember that. What was that? Was that an insurance commercial, right? That was Geico. Geico. With the caveman. That was the original.

So this original caveman commercial. that they ended up making a whole bunch of other commercials based off. He said stop for like five years now, right? I mean, longer than that. But like, yeah, this is, I'd say, like, mid-2000. So this is the original one, and it's literally just a caveman in an airport. And he's, like, on one of those, like, people-movers. And he looks, and he sees, like, a caveman.

And he's, like, so easy a caveman can use it. And he just gives, the whole commercial pens on the fact that he gives the most, like, I'm annoyed. That's offensive. And he just, like, walks off, like, frustrated as hell hell. That was literally all he had to do. And then they were a phenomenon. Everybody loved the caveman.

A 15 year career. They even tried to make a TV show, but for some reason, they didn't cast that guy in it because they just thought like, oh, people are, I think cave bands are funny right now. We'll give him a show on ABC. But it was like, it was this guy's facial expressions that, like, made it all. And it was just like, yeah, this guy made a great cab. And then because of that, I ended up finding that song and burned it and put it on a CD. And I listened to it like every day for like five years.

But now I forget what the name of the song. song is, but yeah, it was like a solid in the rotation. I don't know, but they'll back on for the end of our episode, man. I think we're here. We've run to commercials. Listen back, guys. Go to commercials, go to stuff that you've listened to. Shoot them our way, which was what your favorite episodes were. Like, let us know and we're going to be doing this because there's so many commercials over time that every six months or so, we're going to go ahead and throw on a little

commercial episode. Yeah, we'll get into another break from music to do a little commercial break that you could actually enjoy. Commercial break. See what we did there? Yeah, a little commercial way. All right. Get that. Finish us off. Let's hear it. I want to hear it groove a little bit.

Oh, Reichs up. Remind me. Reichs up. Take us home, baby.
