05/19/21 • 56 min
Today we’re providing even more sound bites from our first season. This is your six foot party sub of an episode, so grab a speaker and bring a healthy appetite. We crammed this sandwich full of deliciousness like the typefaces from Tootsie Roll and The Dukes of Hazzard, logos for Ghostbusters and The Rocketeer (with a Hollywood Sign bonus), stories about a blimp and a desk lamp, giant signs for Union 76 and Holiday Inn, product parody cards from the geniuses behind MAD Magazine, and some dogs playing poker and a local pitchman hit it big. Bon appetit!
