In this episode, we dive deep into infomercials, unearthing some of the past's most popular (and forgotten) gems. We pay homage to the legendary Billy Mays and the unforgettable ShamWow guy, but the crown undoubtedly goes to the king of infomercials, Ron Popeil. Popeil's iconic products and catchphrases have left an indelible mark on television marketing from the Pocket Fisherman to the Showtime Rotisserie. 

But that's not all! We spice things up with a surprise celebrity game. We also delve into the intriguing showdown between famed skeptic James Randi and self-proclaimed psychic Uri Geller, exploring the battle of wits that captivated the world. 

And, as a special treat, we give you a sneak peek into our latest venture – inflatable underpants! Tune in now and prepare to be entertained!
