All radio personalities are tryin’ to sell something... Ya, I get a little annoyed when someone like DR rails against buying gold then does an ad for a gold buy-back company. Hmmm, he discourages little folks from buying gold, then encourages them to sell what they have of it... hmm, little guy, no gold: more gold for big guy... kinda like screaming fire in a crowded theatre, then setting up a fire extinguisher stand outside.
Selling gold gets you money. Buying gold can lose you money. That’s the difference.
I guess I don't see the problem. Telling people not to buy gold and then endorsing some gold investment firm would be hypocritical. Telling people not to buy gold and to sell what they have (whether it's a good idea or not) is absolutely, 100% consistent.

Are you seriously equating investing in gold with selling jewelry?
The ads are sold by the radio stations, not Dave.
