Sponsorships on early episodes

I am having a crisis

In episode 17, the first episode with guest star Strider, the podcast is sponsored by Brain Melt Whippets.

I thought it was insane that the pod promoted whippets and after some sleuthing found out BrainMelt doesn’t exist.

Helix Beer Bongs has an Instagram with 8 posts and it’s all videos of Chad & JT chugging brews.

Were all these sponsorships fabricated? Does Douglas Lubricant have anal flavored lube? Can I actually hire Kevin Fard as my attorney for all my Minor in Possession lawsuits?

Was Assclown a figment of Chad’s imagination? Is Joe’s hog even real?

I don’t know if I can trust SoCal’s most popular podcast going forward.
