No one sells out harder for advertisers than Mark. Have seen these meals advertised all over YouTube, but have never seen a YouTuber snort the noodles before. Pure dedication to the sell.

The ad was more entertaining than the content, never seen that before. bravo.

Well done Jack.

[SCQT]

any advertiser should be proud to have you

I literally thought my TV was malfunctioning as the video was going into the Factor ad. Nearly threw my beef n cheddar across the room.

"I wanted to take an opportunity to talk about me, which is all that is really important." Hillarious! The commercial for the factor food was clever.

2:06 Sonic Adventure 2 OST? Now this is how I know that this is a proper, honest motorvehicle review that only real connoisseurs appreciate

My local Hyundai dealer officially separated itself from Genesis earlier this year. They actually built two new dealerships along the same street separated by an Acura dealership, which surprised me. And the service has improved too.

I had a 2020 G80 I bought new. Loved that car, but had it's issues and the Hyundai dealer service experience was not great. It finally culminated in the engine being destroyed by a dealer oil change overfill. Genesis corporate and the dealer drug me through the mud and I went from being a Genesis fan to commited to never owning another Genesis in my life. Think of swapping you into a demo to replace the car they blew up with a demo Genesis that had 90% of the vehicle repainted, and they did not disclose it bad. Genesis will only ever be as good as it's dealer network, and it's dealer network is horrendous.

When Hyundai opens a standalone Genesis dealership / service center in my area, I'll buy a Genesis. I'm not going to put my Genesis through my local Hyundai dealer who, like most Hyundai dealers, are overwhelmed with vehicles.

[steverau]

One of, if not the only ad I didn't fast forward and actually watched. Well done man.

[jr]

Say what you want about Genesis, but none of their products remind me that they are related to Hyundai. I wish I could say the same about the other Asian brands.

[Bash-Toks]

All refreshed models (these two included) get the wireless CarPlay and android auto update OTA btw, just fyi.

[GoodOleGrant]

What a hilarious reveal of the Factor meal preps ad 😂 well done

[RobTeeJr]

Mark, That is one smooth commercial transition. Besides the intelligent and comprehensive reviews, I enjoy the humor and camaraderie between you and Jack.

Genesis has exceeded expectations and climbed up in the luxury class. Unfortunately, people tend to subjectively shop cars for prestige first then designs after.

Genesis needs to maintain its beautiful engineering for a few more years to get further reputable attention. People will still go for Germans and Lexus because they’ve been around for a while.

[chkndnts]

I definitely needed an entire supply chain established, multiple boxes and plastic wraps, and a carbon footprint of Texas to get a meal to me because I am incapable of getting in my car and driving 10 minutes to the local grocery store. THANK YOU CAPITALISM and THANK YOU FACTOR

[djatak]

I literally belly laughed when you had the microwavable meal on your lap while driving (4:15). Great job with the show! Funny/good stuff haha 😅

[joshuaadesida]

The sponsor segment is the best I’ve ever heard😭, doesn’t even feel sponsored and is genuinely funny because it incorporates what makes y’all so special

[davidlehr]

I bought a MDX Type S and comparison shopped with the GV80 so was very interested in the video (an avid viewer of Savagegeese). But the title is misleading - the video spends most of the time comparing the GV80 to German rivals, NOT to Lexus and Acura (Acura really not at all). Why isn't the title "Surpassing BMW, Mercedes and Audi?"
