Acorns, Smalls, Talkspace Ad Reads

The hosts work through three sponsor reads with their characteristic looseness. The Acorns read leans into Bobby's regret about not saving earlier in his career, with the app's $5 signup bonus and 14 million user stats as the headline. The Smalls cat food read lets Bobby mention his three cats — Gunner, Me, and Bojo — and lament their lack of toned muscles. Talkspace gets the most earnest treatment, with Bobby sharing he had therapy earlier that day and noting that processing trauma through talk therapy prevents it from becoming physical illness later.
