- Sing it, c’mon, you know you want to… “Big Huckin Chicken”
- Learn origami from Sprint
- You got any iPod on tap?
This week’s Sponsor and Special Guest:
MetLife Auto and Home Agent Joe Muse. We talk to Joe about auto and home insurance, the MetLife brand, figure out the answer to the confusing “would you like insurance on the vehicle?” question at the rental car counter, and ask why Snoopy is the face of MetLife.

Sprint vs. Embarq . Sprint local telephone has rebranded as “Embarq”. Does it matter, do we care? We discuss the ramifications and compare the brands – old and new. And what’s with the origami airplane?
Website of the Week
We promise we aren’t connected with Crispin Porter + Bogusky but we couldn’t resist talking about the Huckin Chicken website . What will the Chicken do next?? We can only imagine.
By the way, in case any of you are wondering:
Huck: to launch something upwards as when a motocross rider, mountain biker, or skateboarder is launched into the air from a ramp. (Wikipedia)

I don’t know about anyone else but in the past couple of years I’ve loved all the nontraditional markting that companies have invested in rather than standard media outlets….which ironically is now becoming standard. Many times movie websites are better than the movies themselves. Case in point – the first Blair Witch movie. Love the Nacho Libre site. It takes a lot for me to laugh out loud. The Montezuma’s Revenge Confessional did it. Good to have you back boys.
