They characterize this as "ghoulish" marketing intended to expand the consumer base for GLP-1 drugs to younger, healthy populations.

The hosts noted the segment's title "Hope for Joe" and suggested the news report eventually devolved into a "native ad" for the spraying device.

This leads into a discussion of "native ads" on local news stations, where Amazon purchased segments that appeared to be independent news stories about their COVID-19 safety measures. A supercut shows eleven different stations using the exact same script to praise Amazon's operations.

The hosts point to a February 6th segment on NBC's Today Show featuring TikTok star Brent Rivera as a "native ad" for the platform. They suggest the platform was used to seed panic globally while the Chinese government simultaneously pressured Western media to avoid "racist" terminology.

They note that while other stores like Burlington Coat Factory and TJ Maxx offer layaway, the media stories almost exclusively feature Walmart. The discussion suggests these "feel-good" stories serve as high-value PR for the retail giant during the Christmas season.

The story, which received national coverage, portrays the device as a tool for military families to stay connected. The hosts suggest the timing of the "hero dad" story is intended to bolster Ring's brand image.

However, Elizondo is the director of To The Stars Academy, a company that blends aerospace science with cinematic entertainment. The sudden surge in UFO news is identified as a "native ad" or promotional tie-in for the movie Men In Black: International, starring Liam Neeson.

The hosts argue this confirms their prediction that traditional podcast networks cannot be monetized through ads alone and must eventually become ad agencies. They reflect on their own history with "Podshow" in 2005 and the lessons learned about the industry.

The hosts question why this is treated as major national news, suggesting it is either a result of effective PR or a native advertisement intended to "stroke" corporate partners.

Politico recently hired a "native officer" to lead its branded content department, following the lead of The Washington Post and The Atlantic. The hosts argue that outlets like Vice are essentially advertising agencies disguised as news organizations, where high production budgets are used to obfuscate the promotional nature of the content.

Industry executives, including John Steinberg of the Daily Mail, suggest that publishers will pivot toward "native advertising" and "hard-coded" ads to bypass these blockers.

The hosts point out that the source of the story was Kraft's own Tumblr page, launched during "Advertiser Week." They estimate the value of such a four-minute "earned media" segment on national public radio to be between $50,000 and $150,000.
