Andrew and Vieves look at all the ways amateur runners are used represent grit, determination and a desire for everything from soy milk to Snickers bars. Plus, an Ad Councilor spots a university that is truly doing something differently, and Andrew must reckon with accusations that he got fooled by the internet!

Andrew and Vieves consider the archetypal gym teachers who have been put to work selling everything from bubble gum to breakfast shakes. Plus, an Ad Councilor spots a true gem in the wild.

"Who is your daddy, and what does he sell?" Andrew and Vieves are most definitely NOT doing a show about Father Day's as they look at daddy-forward ads. Plus, Vieves wins an eBay auction, and a Chicago hospital takes a big swing.
