This week, The Boys spend most of their time trying to figure out what the hell is going on in South Dakota. Is the whole state smoking Meth? Are they supposed to be rallying together to fix the problem? Is the governor the one that's high? Who knows. They also discuss ads that help you understand what 5G is and warm their hearts with some poignant holiday storytelling for lottery tickets. But let's be honest, you're really here this week because of South Dakota, aren't you? Make sure to follow on along on social @salad_podcast!

Hey Salad Fans, some cool work came out this week! Old Spice has a lot of data on men and how they don't get out enough so they staged a mantervention to get guys back on their feet (and smelling their best). Meanwhile, Starbucks enlisted Bill Nye to explain how nitro cold brew works (although Jesse Pinkman would have been just fine as well) and McDonalds and Burger King got into a bit of a turf war. During this week's pod we dissect all of these spots - what worked, what didn't, and help you understand why the brands created these ads in the first place.
