The Notorious B2B Show’s Podcast

The Notorious B2B Show’s Podcast

SNL meets TMZ but for B2B marketing. Hosted by Tas Bober and Tim Davidson, Notorious B2B is where LinkedIn drama, marketing chaos, and corporate cringe get the airtime they deserve. We talk about the stuff no one else wants to say out loud: shady campaigns, unhinged posts, comment bait, teardown culture, and all the things making B2B feel more like reality TV. This is not thought leadership. This is Notorious B2B.

Welcome to another chaotic episode of Notorious B2B.

This week, we cover:

  • Chris Walker’s new “inner peace” company and why his logo might not be as original as his mission

  • A Deel subway ad that might be real… or might be the best AI prank we’ve seen

  • Comment-gating is evolving: it’s now in your DMs

  • The Fiverr CEO’s 12:58 AM (likely) email 

  • And a full-on LinkedIn identity theft case, complete with a cloned website, job ...

The drama continues. In Ep. 8 of Notorious B2B, Tim and Tas dig into the messiest updates in tech right now: the spy war between Rippling and Deal escalates, the finalé on Exit Five’s application-based event, and Duolingo catches fire for saying they’ll replace contractors with AI. (Yeah, that went great.) What’s inside: • Deel hits back at Rippling with a 5-count lawsuit with a wild counterspy claim • Duolingo's "AI-first" anno...

This might be our spiciest episode yet. Tim and Tas are joined by Brendan Hufford to tear into the tactics and trends breaking (and embarrassing) B2B. What’s inside: • The truth behind 8,000-comment LinkedIn posts (and who’s really getting the asset) • Comment gating, fake pipeline claims, and why the numbers don’t add up • A deep dive into Exit Five’s invite-only event drama and ICP filtering • Why Pavilion’s CEO went full rant m...

We covered a lot of ground in this one - from spiritual awakenings to burner phones.

In this episode:

  • Chris Walker goes full guru mode (and we kind of love it?)
  • TACK shuts down and the Mark + Nick split has us speculating
  • Apollo continues its quiet unraveling with key team exits

This one had range.

We circled back on the rise and fall of “comment for the asset” LinkedIn posts (spoiler: people are still mad), and then covered everything from:

  • The “weird LinkedIn” trend
  • RB2B’s spyware accusation and why marketers are suddenly reading terms of service
  • Air’s campaign backlash and why we’re still defending it

We had a docket. We couldn't finish it all. Who knew B2B had so much drama? 

Here's what we did cover: 

  • Air’s wild anti-Dropbox ad featuring an actual adult film star (and why we kind of loved it)

  • The difference between a teardown and a public roast (with a special guest appearance: Tas getting publicly roasted)

  • What happens when LinkedIn shuts down your entire company page (Seamless.ai and Apollo, this one’s for you)

  • T...

We kick off episode one by giving kudos where it's due (spoiler: someone actually won $1M from a Super Bowl AI promo and no one seems to care).

Then we get into the current state of LinkedIn:

  • The rise of “comment to get the asset” bait

  • The performance math behind it (yes, we did the math)

  • What happens when you don’t deliver

  • And yes... we talk about that “boobs on LinkedIn” guy

This episode is basically a tour thr...

    In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
