Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Not sure how non-fictional this is, but I've spotted some ads for a show that looks like it's imitating TAR; one of the quotes makes me laugh.

The scene - somewhere in a vast desert, several women are slogging through the sand. One says (in what sounds like a NJ accent), "We're in the Sahara. It's all sand, yo!"

Aww I missed Travis's piece.

But I've gotten so used to watching streaming where the same ads show over and over - sometimes only one or two ads per show, I'm kinda enjoying the variety of ads. Of course I'm not actually watching them but hey I can hear something different.
