For the past month or so, I’ve been enjoying “Kevin and Ursula Eat Cheap“, a podcast by ursulav and alchemist. Each week they review a variety of pre-packaged foods; some cheap, others too pricey for their quality. And each week, “[They] eat it, so [we] don’t have to.”

And I’ve been having a wonderful time. It’s great listening for my bike rides or when I’m doing the dishes, and of course, because of a quirk of timing I now associate podcasts with California, so it’s nice to listen to something that’s based back East. I really enjoy listening to them, and I love trying to figure out how the various food products will get rated at the end. Some of my favorite through-lines include “Is this made of food?” and “Oh god, why do we do this to ourselves?”

But the best has to be the odd questions and ramblings that lead into the sponsor’s spots each week. Over the years they’ve had three and a bit sponsors, and are currently sponsored by Dash Systems and SofaWolf Press.

While I’ve been listening, I’ve been noting down the lead-ins they use before the sponsor spots. And I collected them all into a single spreadsheet. While they’re all great, I’ve listed a few of my favorites below. See if you can guess which lead-in went with which sponsor, without looking at the whole spreadsheet.

* Do you know what has a really good crust and a really good assembly?
* You know what won’t make you violently ill, feverish, and full of chills?
* You know what won’t attack you and eat your head?
* You know what won’t give you botulism?
* You know what will provide you an orgasm per meal?
* You know who does pay us to mention the brand name every time?
* You know what won’t raise your bad cholesterol?
* Do you know what you will not block out of your memory?
* Do you know what texture is not distressing?
