Show Notes Episode 388: As Seen on TV This week Host Dave Bledsoe is making a one time special offer for the low, low price of him not paying this bar tab if you just act now! (The bartender didn’t take him up on it.) On the show this week we take a look back at the origins of every late night bad decision in your life that did not involve a fellow bar patron with one eye and prison tattoo on their forehead, the infomercial. Along the way we discover how Dave blocks commercials all the while making you listen to them so he can get paid. (Fucking hypocrite!) Then we dive right into the history of late night television and why you can only see cheesy products and washed up celebrities after 1 AM. (They need jobs too!) Then we explain why infomercials are so cheap and ubiquitous. (Do we play a bunch of them, you bet we do!)
