Lifelong friends Jimmy Dean (Charlie Stokes) and Mark Dark (Ross Wright) are starting up a marketing firm. Can they paint the town with their ideas, or are they doomed to add another business to their entrepreneurial ash heap?... Advertise This! is an improv comedy podcast from Richmond, Virginia friends Charlie Stokes and Ross Wright. Season One was recorded during pandemic lockdown conditions in 2020 for reasons of friendship, imagination, and good-natured silliness.
Season 1 finale. Another nightmare? A city bus stop? Jacob's Ladder? Nastycar? Butterflies? The guys end up on a familiar barge to reclaim the life they think they knew!
Mark has a nightmare, the guys forego usual business for a stress-relieving team building exercise, and something feels “off” about the universe. BONUS: Stay tuned after the episode for the full version of the in-episode song “Truckin' Along”.
In their most universe-altering episode yet, the guys have run-ins with a recognizable boat captain, an army of butterflies, a much cooler lawyer, and a montage. Will their world be changed forever??? BONUS: Stay tuned after the episode for the full version of the in-episode song “The Second Best”.
In a BONUS episode certainly NOT taped very recently, but definitely taped in 2020, the fellas discuss Jimmy's quest to reclaim his plates, the new Morton's girl, Mark's favorite phrase, and assembling a team of heroes to stop a kind, old doctor.
Jimmy and Mark reminisce about their favorite off-brand cereals and hatch their own summertime business idea as they try to survive their meeting site, an abandoned campsite cabin. What was that noise?
This week's meeting takes place in a holding cell as Jimmy and Mark talk about their new looks and evolving identities, pleading “weird” in court, a corrupt political client, and a deranged fellow inmate.
Jimmy is dressed for business success as the guys chase down their weekly office space, deal with a poultry infestation, and dish ideas for a lesser known potato chip company.
Mark works the local legal system to legitimize his marathon wins, Jimmy throws things at hippos, and the guys discuss marketing strategies for the town's annual pig wrestling festival.
The guys discuss Jimmy's interesting date and Mark's rivalry with the tooth fairy. They also work out how to advertise peanut butter soda as they wait for their personal pan pizzas.
