A collection of commercial odds and ends results in a grab-bag’s worth of ads that have Andrew and Vieves waxing philosophical about hacky daddy-daughter tropes and the role stealth bombers play in snack time. Plus, Andrew tests Genevieve’s ability to recognize the new celebrity voice of a national sandwich concern.
