My good friend Robin Chandley from Chandley Communications and I sit down on Ryan Gerardi’s MTC Show (Mobility Tech and Connectivity Show) to review this year’s automotive-themed Super Bowl commercials. This was SO MUCH FUN. I can break down commercials for the most irreverent reasons all day. As expected, I get pretty opinionated.
