from Kevin Spacey's Soup & AI Saints | The Tim Dillon Show #393 · #393

3 min

Tim imagines companies pushing Adele to sell weight-loss powder, contrasts it with how old sitcom stars like Sally Struthers were mocked for endorsements, and argues Taylor Swift's fanbase now praises "good marketing."

In this bit6 moments
  • Tim describes a company recruiting Adele with promises of billionaire status if she sells diet powder instead of staying middle class like Kate Blanchett.
  • Sitcom stars like Suzanne Somers used to endorse weight loss products and faced ridicule for appearing desperate and de classed.
  • Sally Struthers became a target of mockery, including from Howard Stern, for appearing in charity advertisements despite trying to help feed children.
  • Tim argues that celebrity endorsements are now seen as a mark of business acumen—people praise Taylor Swift for being good at marketing rather than judging her for selling out.
  • An eight-year-old might try to pull the skin off their face to breathe while using the product due to caffeine or other ingredients.
  • Tim notes people sue over Prime energy drinks, but he has a good first amendment attorney and supports the person suing without being certain they're in the wrong.
