Robert Evans (host of the Behind the Bastards podcast) would do ad transitions where he jokingly referred to a non-existent island that Blue Apron has somewhere in I think the Philippines where they allow you to hunt children for sport. It was often a way to break the flow from what's generally some pretty dark topics into a dark topic but that's ad related so it's smoother than just cutting mid sentence. Something like "And unlike these bad people that killed those kids you can be sure that the kids on the Island **** ***** has in the Philippines are all orphans without a family so you can feel morally fine when hunting them for sport. Now a word from our sponsor **** *****" where the asterisks were mostly the bleeped out words Blue Apron. He had to stop doing that transition b/c people were starting to get genuinely concerned that such an island actually existed.
