Ethos Life Insurance Sponsor Read
At 33:30 · chapter starts 32:32
The Ethos sponsor read is itself one of the episode's most memorable bits. Tim begins with standard life insurance talking points — 4.8 stars on Trustpilot, no medical exam, coverage up to $3 million, some policies as low as $30 a month — before launching into a fictional story about a healthy, careful man who navigates every possible workplace hazard without incident, then produces a gun in the middle of the office and blows his brains out while smiling at a nearby temp. Nobody knew why. The moral: you don't know what will happen, get life insurance. The structure subverts the genre entirely while still technically selling the product.
Tim Dillon spent 21 days in London before recording this episode, explaining why the show missed the previous week.
Ethos life insurance has a 4.8 out of 5 stars rating on Trustpilot based on over 4,000 reviews.
