That’s right - the Trainer to the Trainers® himself, the one and only, Mr. Tom Purvis is on the line and hanging out with the boys this week! Tom drops some serious intellectual weight on Dan, Dave and Mark (don’t worry, momentum was not a factor) and can’t resist taking them through a full circuit to build their bodies of knowledge. TTTT exercises some patience with the boys and fills them in on a few behind-the-scenes flexes and spots them for a few reps around the world of fitness informercials at large. As a special bonus, Tom sends the boys on an Easter egg hunt and plays a quick game of “Fair or Jowl.” So take the Call Now Challenge! You can finish this entire episode in just 20 minutes, three days a week and if you’re not completely satisfied, send it back to us for a full refund. Once you listen, you won’t know how you could get this type of entertainment from any other podcast.

Dan, Dave and Mark do their best to unravel the mystery of Operation BluBlockers and go knuckles deep in Sugarman (credit: Limp Bizkit) investigating the publicly available information surrounding the well-known psy-op. The boys explore details behind Sugarman’s military background, his intelligence experience and it’s impact on his more notorious asset: Zorp. It’s hard not to fall victim to the bright lights of Hollywood with all of the celebrity lookalikes and imitation BluBlockers. But keep your eyes open, don’t blink (or even squint), don’t succumb to the headaches and before you know it every wrinkle will be smoother than Dr. Geek and all will be revealed in a moment of clarity.

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!

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.

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.

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.

Dan, Dave and Mark are doing their job and hopping back in to be your Screw Guides with Mick'n'Dick and finding out what's in the box (SPOILER: it's a Power Driver). The boys take their best run at keeping up with the Mick's pace on this star-studded episode that includes visits from Jon Gruden, Outkast, Ron Popeil, Rush, Marty Scorsese and more! As a special bonus, make sure you listen all the way to the end to hear Dave's big joke!

Dan, Dave and Mark really screwed up this time. They try to ratchet up the heat throughout this watch party, but the fire is already burning. It’s a rare glimpse into a world where everybody gets exactly what they want! The boys raise some important questions - is this a Mt Rushmore informercial? How blue is too blue? Can a drill work in water? Michael, what are you wearing? Two very minor, subtle details that you might not catch because it’s barely mentioned during the show but the pitchman is Michael, aka Mick, Hastie (see: Bullet, Magic) and there is a literal caveman.

Dan, Dave and Mark are a mess! Luckily they have nothing to fear because Joe Fowler is here! They’re putting in the time to make sure they pick up all of the pieces (glass, broken eggs, etc.) and blowing out all of the information they’ve sucked up since last week. Shout out to everyone who listens in the next 30 minutes because whoever finishes last buys lunch!
