A perfect abbreviation for the Hoover Holiday Pressure Group: The HooHoPreGr's 😬
only like 3.5 min in, but the redemption process reminds me of the episode of nathan for you where he gets a gas station owner to give rebates on gas, but the customers have to climb a mountain, answer a series of riddles, and camp overnight to claim it
Y'all, I just happened to listen to an old episode via the website and I just need to tell all y'all Valued Listeners that you are cheating yourselves if you don't spend a few minutes listening to ACC perform an advertisement for HoneyLove undergarments. ACC, you've sold me.
I wonder if that's why my folks switched to a Kirby.
A FANTASTC THING ID LOVE TO LEARN MORE ABT IS THE POE HALL INCIDENT AT NORTH CAROLINA STATE! I feel like there’s some crazy swindledness happening there
The new high powered compact from Hooverrr it’s a beautiful moooveeer 🎶
Pre-AC/DC Brian Johnson on vocals.
The Beautiful Hoover ad at the end just killed me
Hoover should get Razzlekahn to do their next jingle.
💕🐶🦙the llama loves ya
Thoroughly worth it. At first I was wracking my brain: "What crime against humanity or massacre did Hoover commit?" They deserve an episode, for sure, but I'm glad it was "lighter fare".
Another great bonus episode. Thanks ACC. The jingles brought me back to childhood.
Well, that promotion really hoovered.
The guy that trapped the van in cracked me up
Those jingles were pretty disturbing 🤪
Laughed out loud at the line about having a Hoover at a funeral in case someone knocks over the urn.
