Episode 24 explores Bridget’s and my love for shitty commercials.  We’re also lucky enough to have a listener-submitted photo from Laura and DJ.  Below is their story:

     On Friday nights, I don’t have a ride home from work so in an attempt not to use the Hauptman and O’Brien’s “Safe Ride Home” Program, I caught the bus going the opposite way, as it would be the same one I would catch home. This was a way warmer situation, if you have been hearing about Omaha weather recently. 
     DJ was on the bus, as arranged, so we went down Dodge Street and ended up getting  off at the Walgreen’s at about 31st and Dodge. We have been doing this for a few weeks, doing a chocolate run at 9pm on a Friday night. Hehe.
     We were talking about how sometimes you are just at someone’s house or a place just to be there to try something new or meet someone who you wouldn’t usually have access to. We got in the store and shook ourselves off and got more comfortable for strolling, shopping. We walked by a ShamWOW and other infomercial products so I picked up a box and said, “Wow, DJ!   It is REALLY made in Germany!” (We, of course, were referencing the Emergency Pants episode that had the ShamWOW discussion.)
     We walked on and then he said, “I don’t think we are here for chocolate, we were here to see the ShamWOW.” Then we, like giggling teenagers, took this picture for you and the Emergency Pants crew. I posed, he took the photo. 
     Merry Christmas, Emergency Pants cast and crew!! Good Luck in 2009!

 

*Laura and DJ. 

Thanks for the letter!  We cover a lot of our favorite bad commercials in this episode, plus the benefits of having a fort, and our best and worst Christmases!

This chair’s owner is the Toilet Whisperer.

As you can clearly see, there is an unidentified material caked into the “webbing” type fabric of the seat, and some unidentified bread or pastry crumbs lying carelessly on the seat. It remains unidentified because we’re all too grossed out to get close to it. Pics after the jump (click to enlarge them!):

If you have pictures you think we need to see, send ‘em to emergencypantspodcast at gmail.
