Call Now - 28 - BluBlockers (Part 1) - "Searching for Sugar Man”

Dan, Dave and Mark are looking cool and have it made in the shade because they are finally seeing things clearly thanks to BluBlockers! Watch along with the boys as they learn how to make a television commercial in a completely unrehearsed and unscripted format they've never seen before. Pack your bags because they search high and low for the Sugar Man from Hawaii to New Orleans to Venice Beach and, of course, in the sunshine capital itself - San Francisco. Come along with us, the trolley's leaving and you don't want to miss out on your BOGO BluBlockers!

Call Now - 27 - Power XL Air Fryer Grill (Part 2) - "Once Upon a time in Oaxaca”

Dan, Dave and Mark are dialed in this week and taking some big swings at some big food…and even taking on (trigger warning) BIG OVEN. It’s ok though, because between Dave’s research, Mark’s first-hand air frying prowess and Dan’s terrible puns, there is no trio more qualifried (nailed it) to act as your countertop Sherpas. So make sure your anemometers are charged and your soul patches are trimmed because you’ll need both to fill up your Shout-Out BINGO Card! And if you should ever have any doubts along your journey, just recite the mantra from Friar Theiss’ sermon.

Call Now - 26 - Power XL Air Fryer Grill (Part 1) - "It’s Not Blue, It’s Neevy”

Dan, Dave and Mark order up another full plate of Eric Theiss and, even though they don’t get pounded with flavor, they do get plenty of piles of food (mainly onion rings)! Eric takes the PXLAFG head-to-head against every cooking device known to man and shows us every way to make chicken! He even tries to make the concept of air frying understandable to everyone…except Dave.

Call Now - 25 - Call Now at the Movies! - 25th Episode Extravaganza! (feat. Pitch People)

It might feel like a mere six months have passed since Dan, Dave and Mark declared their love/hate (complicated status) relationship with infomercials, but it’s also been an incredible 25 episodes! And rather grabbing a table in some non-couple’s beautiful kitchen, the boys wanted to celebrate by heading to the movies! They do their best to break down the 1999 documentary Pitch People. They get to spend time with a lot of their favorite hucksters (and meet some new ones), revise some opinions on a few others, uncover the secrets to the industry they (think they) know and love and, on occasion, chow down on some humble pie.

Call Now - 23 - Power Driver (Part 1) - "Classic Natick”

It might not come with cargo shorts, but we have been authorized by Direct to Retail to put all the attachments in granite so hurry up and Call Now!

Shout out to everyone who listens in the next 30 minutes because whoever finishes last buys lunch!
