Product placement

Mike Sherm ACTS - plays music on a phone speaker, which is heard by others and contributes to the atmosphere of the scene. Removing it would change the auditory experience of the scene. This is a product that ACTS, and its removal would change what happens in the video.

Transcript

There was one thing I learned from traveling internationally. It's that the Bay Area culture knows no bounds. I met someone from California in Switzerland at a hostel and the first thing we talked about was Mike Sherm. And guess what we did? We started blasting Mike Sherm on the phone speaker. They probably all look at us like we're stupid or crazy for blasting this ghetto ass music in the middle of the mountains. But guess what? That's what traveling is about. That's what hostels are about. You gotta meet people and put them on your culture.
