I'm having a lot of fun imaging the VA's reaction to reading this script but goddamn, they did it. Those people are fuckin' pros.

Whatever he’s paying these people, it is not enough.

The Egeez ad is just as inexplicable, whether it’s referring to Spotify with male pronouns, to rambling about how God gave Nathen GarfieldEats to prepare him for Egeez, to the interviewer who sounds like a fourteen-year-old and exclaims “gently caress yeah” to the upcoming Egeez launch.

Ok I've caught my breath. I am diving into the Egeez commercial.

Nathen, "It's Iggies baby! (echo effect) OH JEEZ!"
Nathen sounds a lot like Tommy Wiseau.

Nathen: "So Iggies is a hoooome. It's a place - It's a safe hoooome for licensed source to trust that those products are sold by velified licensees in a restricted license territory that they bought in. (That sure was a sentence. The weird intonation and typos are Nathen's pronunciation, not mine)

Nathen: "So fans, when a mother wants to buy Paw Patrol..."
/audio cuts here to a clip of a woman saying, "She now KNOWS"
Nathen resumes, "She's gonna go to iggies. She can't trust Toys R Us. On Iggies she's gonna find variety"
(Nathen is unaware that Toys R Us went out of business years ago)

Nathen continues, "You'll also see the licensee's name verified and when you click on it, you'll see that it's because Iggies has verified the licensing agreement
/audio cuts to a clip of a robot voice yelling, "VERIFIED"
Nathen, "...so that's the cool thing about Iggies"
Robot voice: "IGGIES!"

Something about going to Walmart and finding 23 variations of Mickey Mouse or maybe only 1.
Robot echo voice: "NOOO!"

Nathen then repeats the Iggies/Oh Jeez thing from the beginning. I think he wants that to be their ad slogan or w/e
Oh my god this ad is 8 minutes and 45 seconds long and I am 45 seconds in.

Nathen says "Iggies doesn't reflect him. It reflects licensees/licensors as well as the fans. All 3 parties. It takes a broader view of everyone's pain" (Um)

Something about licensees tampering with excel royalty spreadsheets. Nathen is angry at licensees who do this and thinks they are ungrateful.
Nathen says he does not like Redbubble or Etsy and then asks if the other person in the room (???) knows those websites to which mystery person responds, "Yes I do". This is now apparently an interview. Other guy in the room then throws Zazzle under the bus as well.

Interviewer asks if Nathen has any big licenses lined up and Nathen responds that he doesn't have licenses. "We onboard licenses like Uber Eats onboards restaurants" (what does this mean?). Interviewer is trying to get his head around what Nathen just said and goes, "Oh I get it, you're just the middle man". Nathen says "Exactly".

Some weird rear end tangent about selling socks in Cincinatti.

Interviewer is still trying to figure out what Iggies does and Nathen is getting audibly frustrated that Interviewer doesn't "get it". (Probably too much Molson Dry)

Nathen: "All they need is one app"
Echoing Robot voice: "ONE APP"

Nathen likens Igeez to Spotify.

Nathen: "When something is disruptive and it's about to break something that they're accustomed to for so long - for decades, well that's gonna cause some pain for some. And because they're fear - they're fearful that they might lose their jobs, might BE ERADICATED COMPLETELY. And so yeah, that may be it! And you're gonna start applying to Iggies and maybe we'll hire you. It's life! C'est la vie, honey." (I am not sure anyone can apply for a job after being completely eradicated. And seriously, can you imagine working for Nathen?)

Now he's just repeating the little speech he made about the 3 parties and pain again.
Blah blah "going through the process" and then:
"And that's why God sent me to GarfieldEats and Scooby Doo I believe. The universe. That's why my experience prepared me for this. This big huge pivotal moment because I think that's gonna be groundbreaking" (I have no idea what Nathen is talking about and the interviewer has gone silent)

Nathen has apparently spoken with some company that owns the IP for The Smurfs - or he called them at least. They are apparently all-in on Iggies whenever the app launches. Nathen doesn't seem really clear about what the people who own IPs get out of Iggies except that they will now get demographics to see where their licensed items are sold. I am not sure how this fits into Iggies framework and I don't think Nathen or the Interviewer know either.

Interviewer: "Smurfs are uh...smurfs are blue, right"
Nathen: "Yeah! of course"
Interviewer: "But uh, that's not why the app is blue, right?"
Nathen sounds angry and says, "No, no don't start going too far with your thought process. And anyway, they're more baby blue and my blue is more..."
Robot echo voice "CHIC"
(I feel like I am going insane)

Some boring poo poo with Nathen just listing off geographic locations. Then he tells us that Saudi Arabia loves Star War and anime.

Nathen: "Everyone is a fan of something in this world and I feel that we should - I should capitalize on it and embrace humankind in general" (I think this sums up Iggies business plan nicely)

Then the ad/interview just ends with faint music playing somewhere in the background and about 20 seconds of dead air.

Oooohhhh, so like UberEats, GrubHub, and Door Dash, who regularly gently caress over restaurants by offering the service when the restaurant never agreed to partner with them? Then make websites with menu items that don't exist, put unrealistic expectations on what a restaurant can put together in a set delivery time, and have shifty drivers that steal the food --- leaving the restaurant to eat the cost when customers complain?

Sounds great! I'm sure everyone will be clamoring to sign up!

Except IPs don't work that way. Nathen saying, "Spotify/Uber Eats only with cartoon IPs" doesn't make it work. IPs collect royalties off of licensed stuff and are usually pretty selective about what their brand is used to advertise/represent. There's absolutely no reason whoever owns The Smurfs would let Nathen just insert himself between them and their licensees. Furthermore, Nathen says several times that by the licensee has to negotiate their own license agreement with IP owner so I'm unclear as to what Igeez actually does. The interviewer gets confused by this too.

The audio cuts are really loving jarring and weird. It reminds me of a radio shock jock playing random zany sounds - or that kid from bob’s burgers with the megaphone/sound maker thing.

He clearly knows it’s confusing because he says “Iggies, baby! Oh JEEZ” at least twice. “Oh jeez it’s Ee-geez, baby” would make a lot more sense.

Oh and also, the VA pronouncing “Nathfield” as rhyming with “bath” was not a mistake because both VAs read it that way. This begs the question as to how Nathen’s name is pronounced. I’m gonna go ahead and assume it’s “Nath-en”

Pig Bill Kramer, master of mischief and Reddit chaos, is determined to take over the world and turn it into a realm of darkness and despair. But then flies in unexpectedly, Angel Gabby, the guardian of good and righteousness. As the two clash in an epic funny battle of wits, jokes, and strength, the fate of the universe hangs in the balance. Will the evil pig triumph and bring about eternal darkness? Or will Gabby triumph and bring about eternal peace and happiness Find out in this hilarious episode of Evil vs. Angel everyone can relate to! *** Brought to you by Egeez App - https://www.egeez.com / @egeezapp Produced by: Entergage Pictures Executive Producer: Nathen Mazri - https://www.nathenmazri.com Written by: Nathen Mazri & anonymous Hollywood screenplay writer Cast: Bill Kramer - Ricky DB Angel Gabby - Angela Clark Sound Engineer: Jason 'METaL' Donkersgoed Recording Engineer/Mixer: Daryn Barry © 2022 Copyright Nathfield - All Rights Reserved
