    Episode 1049

    Hung Over from Life
    Leo’s life now is so sweet he’s intoxicated by it.  It reminds Dick of a silly answer from Family Feud.  A contestant was asked to think of an excuse, if one is stopped by a police officer for speeding“Officer, I’ve been drinking.”

    Just One Shot
    Leo had a wager with TWiT video editor Tony Wang over the latest Old Spice commercial featuring Isaiah Mustafa.  Leo could not believe that it was all done in one shot.  To find out the answer, he interviewed the creators of the commercial, Craig Allen and Eric Kallman from the advertising agency Wieden+Kennedy.  Quite fascinating.

    At the end of the interview, they talk about a 15-second version of the commercial, with Mustafa riding on the horse backwards.  Here is the video.


    Whatever happened to the Terratrike?
    Eric Gogol saw Leo riding his Terratrike on some of Leo’s YouTube videos, and was persuaded to get one himself.  Eric wonders if it has ever been covered on TTTT (yes, in Episode 837), and how Leo is doing with his.  The official answer is Petaluma has been too wet for triking.  The truth probably is, Leo is past his attention span for the Terratrike.
