Send us a textUnless you live under a barn or were born in a rock (did I get that right?), you've heard of Liquid Death. The brand that sells canned water (CANNED WATER) is also one of the best - if not THE best - at producing hilarious, absurd, and unforgettable advertising. We had the honor of talking to Andy Pearson, one of their top creative minds for an hour or so...and let me just say...he did not disappoint. There's a lot of fun stuff in this one - you won't wanna miss it. (And if you wanna see how ruggedly handsome Andy is, check out the full video on our YouTube!)Don't forget to subscribe to this podcast and give us 5 stars if you're enjoying the episodes! 

Send us a Text Message.Aaron Rogers. Manscaped. BuzzBall...these are just a few of the names Bacon and Eggs Creative has made side-splitting-ly hilarious ads with. Kia Zomorrodi, the man who started the award-winning, LA-based agency sat down with us (over zoom...but we were all definitely sitting) to talk creative leadership, AI, and LinkedIn cringey-ness. You won't want to miss this one (which I say a lot...but seriously...don't miss this one). Note: Due to some technical difficulties, this episode is audio-only. Sorry YouTube fam

Send us a Text Message.This is not a drill! Today's guest is one of the TOP dogs in digital advertising: Jacques Spitzer. We were honored and thrilled to chat with a man who has won 4 Emmys, launched the most viral ad in YouTube history (yes, you read that correctly) helped brands earn over a billion dollars in revenue, and created TWO Super Bowl commercials. Jacques was extremely generous to discuss how he got started, what commercials inspire him, what it's like to have something you created air on the biggest national stage possible, and a lot more.

Red Lobster discovers that shrimp is not, in fact, endless. Apple pisses people off with an ad that appears to literally crush creativity.

You did it on Yelp for that french dip you ate....do it for us and I PROMISE you'll live longer than your siblings. 

Hello dear friend / stranger / childhood bully! Thanks for listening to this week's show (or for at least reading this episode description).  If you want the FULL episode where we react to some funny (and not very funny) commercials, head over to our YouTube channel! Otherwise enjoy this audio-only experience that is much safer for when you're driving or welding or performing open heart surgery on someone's dad. In this episode we enjoyed a very expensive $10 bottle of wine and talked about Facebook Marketplace and how to make an absolute fortune selling shovels, Drake and Kendrick's beef and it's marketing brilliance, and so much more that is escaping me at this very moment. But you get the idea! We hope you enjoy.  T & E 

We're back in 4K!!! As promised, we have figured out a way to elevate the production quality of our show, and we couldn't be more excited to premiere our first full-length YouTube episode! We keep things nice and silly this week, discussing our one-sided celebrity beefs, which words count as "curses," and whose makes it on a "Black Mt. Rushmore." We also react to some funny commercials that the MIAJ community sent us - and OM FREAKIN' G is it a good time!! We hope you enjoy this episode! 

What's up dear listener at home! Evan and I both had crazy allergies this week and could not bring ourselves to talk into a microphone

We're stoked to share with you another fun MIAJ episode! We start off with popping bottles (well just one bottle) to commemorate our agency's first official client, then after dreaming a bit about the future, we REALLY get into it with some marketing ideas inspired by Duo Lingo and their extremely silly and fun approach to social media. We discuss how Billie Eilish added 8 MILLION followers by using the "close friends" feature on Instagram, and how you can too (results may vary but we CAN guarantee you'll add at least 7 million followers). Do we also talk about our new YouTube episodes, how to make funerals funny, and why British people drink so much? You'll have to listen to find out! ;) But yes. Yes we do talk about those things. Enjoy the episode and as always, shoot us a DM on IG - we'd love to hear what you have to say about the show - good or bad. As long as it's GOOD! Anyways. Leave us five stars or whatever. Cheers to the weekend, friend. 

Grab a Kleenex, it's Mitch's final episode as a regular and the ending is a real tear-jerker. Other highlights from this episode include convos about AI (who would have thought) and the struggle to stay optimistic as a content creator moving forward. We chat about the "Quiet on Set" documentary, our dream funeral (yeah, it's a thing), and our experience with making a commercial together this past week. I think this often, but THIS is truly an episode you won't want to miss if you're a fan of the pod - it's a real good time. We hope you enjoy! (And if you do, don't forget to bless us with one of those 5-star reviews we've heard so much about

The guys talk about Tony Robbins,  spending millions to make millions, the tell-tale signs you're beginning your midlife crisis, the pros and cons of board games, and normal-life role-playing. 

Hey friend! Trey and Evan here. Well, just Trey technically. We're not like... both typing this together...but this is written on behalf of Evan too. Anyways. We're stoked to share our second episode of this podcast TWO DAYS after recording it. That's like an all-time record turn around time for us. We want MIAJ to feel really current and up-to-date, so we're gonna try to do this moving forward. We might fail. In fact, it's extremely likely. That happens to be one of the first things we talk about in this episode: trying new things and why it can feel so scary. Then we dive into some thoughts on AI and how marketers / content creators can use it to make cool stuff more quickly. Also, we made up a couple new acronyms that we think you'll find necessary...because there definitely aren't enough acronyms in the industry already (lol, jk). Overall we think this was a fun way to spend an hour or so. Hopefully you agree. Enjoy! (Oh, and if you do enjoy, would you do us a HUGE favor and give us a rating/review on whatever platform you're listening? We're trying to get our ratings and reviews up because that seems to be important to the algorithm or whatever. So if you took ten seconds to give us one, that would mean so much. Unless you're one of those lost souls that hands out one-star reviews to podcasts. In that case, feel free to NOT leave a review. I left a one star-review on a podcast one time and I still feel guilty about it sometimes. What does that say about me? What does that say about my dad's podcast?? Also, did you forget this was all in parentheses? I sure did. Not sure about the rules on how much stuff you're technically allowed to put in parentheses...but today's all about trying new things).
