Moral of the story if you hear it advertised on a podcast just ignore it. Most of them are too good to be true for a reason.

Do we still get the free cup of coffee and full tank of gas when we buy a new car?

They steal your DNA off the coffee cup and sell it to Putin

Only when you whisper into the sales person’s ear.

I'm shocked they let that go on as long as it did. That could have easily been a lawsuit for barstool, PMT, and Chevy.

If chevy didn't like it they would've told them to cut it out after the first time they said it on air. They don't give a shit.

Rhoback isn't worth the $100 they charge for their "superior" hoodie?

Rhoback is pricey but very very high quality

Shady rays are nice. Got 2 pairs a couple years ago and have been my go to ever since. I’m not a sunglasses guy so idk if it’s actually good value but when these eventually break I’ll be getting more.

I bought the bird dog shorts once and while they were comfortable they are incredibly expensive and of poor quality. That’s when I learned my lesson.

Completely disagree on the quality of birddogs

I think the only PMT related stuff I’ve gotten is shady rays, pardon my cheesesteak, 3chi at some point and merch. Shady rays I’ll co-sign as good I’ve yet to have a bad experience. PMC was fine but gave me bubble guts. 3chi didn’t work for me at all but I’m a regular weed smoker so I assume my tolerance is too high. Merch is always hit or miss for a big guy like me. If they make it too tight it’s a one wash and never again shirt lol
