from The Men Behind The Boys · #102
Audio-only archive episode — no video to seek.
3 minThey riff on PC Richard's actual slogan and history, joke about camera store commission jobs, and improvise an ad-style bit selling an overpriced toaster and washing machine, including a fake salesperson named Hilda.
- 17:43Tim's friend asks for PC Richard's slogan, which turns out to be "Don't wait till your parents are dead—he's been spending their money."
- 18:11PC Richards is described as a dirt bag store where people end up working after getting fired from better places.
- 18:36Tim sold cameras at a camera store and knew the technical specs, but customers at PC Richards didn't care.
- 19:05PC Richards sales staff make no money and have to sell cheap appliances like toasters to build commissions.
- 19:23Tim launches into a toaster sales pitch about pizza bagels and how the cheese browns nicely in a Black and Decker.
- 19:35The pitch warns customers that Chinese-made toasters won't work and will burn your house down.
- 19:52Tim argues that $400 for a toaster isn't padding—it's ensuring safety because the Chinese want children to burn to death.
- 20:09Tim wishes PC Richards could be called live during the show, imagining the studio furnished by their wares as a sign of success.
- 20:28If calling PC Richards becomes possible, Tim plans to ask about buying a washing machine and being connected to someone named Hilda.
