| 7/1/26 |  #555 Insurance Quotes | A long overdue quiz episode pits Vieves against a series of quotes that are either progressive or Progressive.

| 6/24/26 |  #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.

| 6/17/26 |  #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.

| 6/10/26 |  #552 I, Object | Inanimate objects do all the heavy lifting this week, selling everything from AI to email marketing.

| 6/3/26 |  #551 Pencil Pushers | Andrew and Vieves consider the commercials that feature classic office supplies to sell everything from paper towels to Pepsi.

| 5/12/26 |  #548 Blimp My Ride | An important centennial prompts Andrew and Vieves expend a lot of hot air looking at ads featuring blimps.
