I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

I've held back because I find Carvey as himself to be incredibly tedious. But maybe Spade helps balance it out?

I'm listening to the Jon Hamm episode now. It's not bad.

I would expect Carvey to do impressions. He is on this one.

Four eps in and I love this show so much. Thanks for the nudge!

never read it. Is that the one about the psychic marketing wizard? Such a cool premise. But I've struggled to connect with Gibson's writing.
