From Care Bears to Polly Pocket; Ashley Johnson and Taliesin Jaffe talk toys that hit every Millennial’s nostalgia nerve. Of course this is through the lens of Hollywood Christmas parties where one could win entire toy runs in carnival games or get gifted all of the sci-fi Japanese toys bought for your character's space station bedroom.

Also in this episode:

• Ashley meeting Arnold Schwarzenegger

• Taliesin’s days as a Japanese toy store manager

• Zen out with 3D Pin Art Boards

------------------------------------

Ashley Johnson and Taliesin Jaffe deep dive into their lives as the Weird Kids! This is a formal invitation to all the misfits, outcasts, and weirdos to take a seat at our table and join these former child actors as they embrace their unique upbringings and celebrate all things weird and wonderful.
