The first ad break features BlueChew Gold, a new four-ingredient tablet the brand claims boosts both physical and mental arousal. Bert reads the offer: buy two months, get the third free with promo code BEARS, plus 10% off and free overnight shipping on the first order. The Ethos read is more personal — Bert channels his own 31-year-old self being told by his dad to get life insurance, turning a standard pitch into a direct address to any young father in the audience. Ethos offers up to $3 million in coverage with no medical exam, same-day decisions, and policies starting at $30 a month. Bert directs listeners to ethos.com/bears and notes the 4.8-star Trustpilot rating.
Gaetan Dugas, an Air Canada flight attendant, became infamous as HIV Patient Zero — but the label started as a clerical misread. Researchers wrote 'Patient O' for 'Out of California,' and everyone read it as the number zero. The man who got the blame probably wasn't even the first person infected.

Gaetan Dugas, the Air Canada flight attendant known as Patient Zero, spread HIV across Pennsylvania, Georgia, Texas, Florida, Los Angeles, San Francisco, New Jersey, and New York City.
