  • Won’t listen again

    I listened to the Emily episode. First time and last time. Emily herself was FANTASTIC but I hated how condescending the “main” host was to his friend who was just trying to get through the script about their social media stuff. Great friend, right? Also, we know you have kids, dude. You don’t need to remind us every six seconds.

  • Great except for-

    A great podcast and you can tell the two brothers are really into what they are talking about. Other than the tiresomeness of Dave’s bit and his constant use of the word “umm” that is beyond distracting, it is a great show.

  • All this for some plastic...

    Who knew that when we get older, we would still be collecting toys? Well, this guy and the fellas from this great podcast definitely did. I love the great interviews with both people in the toy business, but also fellow collectors. It’s like we have a home to chat about our favorite things... thanks guys!! Keep killing it!
