We wrap up holiday toys with science fun, tiny kitchen appliances, and a remote-control dinosaur! Chad charges up, while Mo backs up his memories.
We hit Holiday of Play, get our rears in gear for a game, and meet a Crunch Labs toy. Chad tries to contain the chaos with a CRAFTSMAN organizer.
We brew on a Hamilton Beach FlexBrew 4-in-1, size up Chad’s trash bag holder to a Wakeman heavy-duty version, and clip on a Gritin Gen 2 LED book light. Chad stacks EpicTotes metal-frame bins.
We meet a kid-friendly AI printer, puzzle over another mystery gadget, make coffee fast, and Chad finds a handy way to hold your trash bag.
Dickie D has been at this for years. I wish he was involved in more podcast. His wit is second to none.
