Ep 29: Drew Coolidge with the Old Glory Insurance Commercial Robot

Do you love old people? Are you afraid of rap music? Will you only listen to the sales pitch of Sam Waterston? Then this episode is exactly what you need to fight off the upcoming robot invasion. Drew Coolidge is an actor and comedian based out of Austin. After cutting his “improv teeth” in LA, he moved into the world of academia at the University of Texas to cut his “improv as communication teeth.” In this episode, he merges these two worlds to break down this true SNL commercial parody classic. Yes, we talk about the perfectly designed Old Glory Insurance Commercial robot. But we also get into Adam McKay, our grandparents, and of course… our desire to be Sam Waterston.

“Choose your targets wisely. Some fight back.” ~ Drew
