Morning News Filler and Balance of Nature Ads
A discussion on the evolution of early morning news programs like "America This Morning" leads to a tangent about ubiquitous radio and TV advertisements. The hosts struggle to recall the name of "Balance of Nature," a fruit and vegetable supplement promoted by Kathie Lee Gifford and Larry Elder. They question the efficacy of the product and the repetitive nature of its marketing.
Today Show Gaffes, Amy Winehouse and Martin Short
A review of historical television blunders includes the Today Show displaying a "You know I'm dead" caption during an Amy Winehouse tribute. Another notable gaffe involved Kathy Lee Gifford asking actor Martin Short about his wife, Nancy Dolman, unaware that she had passed away two years prior. These incidents are cited as examples of the "stupid things" that occur in live broadcast media.
A promotional video featuring Kathie Lee Gifford explaining how to use the PodcastOne app is mocked. The hosts view the celebrity's entry into the space and her "five simple steps" tutorial as a "jump the shark" moment for the podcasting medium.
