• 1:11
  Speaker 2: questions from them. I don't even know if I've really
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: talked to you. What is the collection?
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: Uh? So I mean, this is like, this is a
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: hard question. So I am like a lifelong collector of
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: most things.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: So my parents started me off young. My dad love toys,
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: love cartoons. I started watching He Man Ninja Turtles when
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: I was really young. Like there's family videos of me
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: like saying like, oh, I want he Man or Ninja
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: Turtles for Christmas. Is when I'm like three, and like
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: that kind of transpired into like my dad always like
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: had like a side hustle, and for a long time
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: they were doing an eBay store where they would sell toys.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: Oh really, yeah, so they would they would go to
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: you know, Target and and all these places like early
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: in the morning when they're like unloading the trucks, breaking
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: the boxes and like get the Star Wars toys with
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: the you know, different lightsaber or like they knew all
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: the stuff.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: It's what year would this like? Was this nineties?
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah? So this was probably late nineties, like ninety six
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: to like two thousand, so this was like, you know
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: before everything really started, Like the internet was still pretty fresh. Yeah,
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: so you kind of had to look a lot of
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: this stuff up in magazines and stuff. It's funny that
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: my parents were so like like kind of on the there,
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: you know, on the forefront, because it's toy collecting has
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: been forever, but like as far as like internet selling,
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: like absolutely, they were kind of like, you know, on
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: the forefront of that. And it's funny because they have
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: not kept up with technology at all, Like my dad
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: barely knows how to use iPhone. Oh really yeah, but
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: like they knew what they were looking for at the time.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: My dad would take us to comic cons like we
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: I remember when we were when I was like eight,
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: we were just go to Santigocoma Con. You just go
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: on the day and buy a ticket like oh yeah,
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: it wasn't like it is now where it's you know,
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: sold out months and months in advance. But uh yeah.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: So my bedroom growing up was just like carded figures,
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: like carded Star Wars figures, carded Marvel figures. Card Yeah,
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: like that was like my decoration in my room was
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: like carded figures.
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: And then as I got older, like I sold off
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: my collection and then I would you know, I got
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: into like magic cards, So then I started collecting magic
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: cards and Pokemon cards, and then you know, I started
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: getting to music when I was in middle school. So
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: then I started collecting records and t shirts, and then
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: in my twenties I started collecting shoes. So it's like
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: it's always been, I'm always collecting something, and unfortunately I
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: thought that I was done with it, because you know,
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: I used to collect like like kid robot toys and like,
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: uh like final toys. But that fad kind of went out,
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: and I thought I was done collecting toys, and then
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: I hopped into a can I cuss on this? I
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: don't know? Sure, Okay, I have to do a fucking
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: toy vlog with Ethan Page that I convinced you to
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: buy that Luke Skywalker toy. And since then it's just
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: like now it's just yeah, it's all.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: Back, Okay, Okay, Okay. So now, first of all, there
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: was no playing with the toys when.
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: You were little.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: You just oh, I had a lot of toys. Okay, yeah,
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: I had a lot of toys to play with. But like,
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: I don't know, I just.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: But you knew enough to maybe keep someone card.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: And I don't think I knew like that they were
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: rare or not. I don't even know if they were.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: I just like I've always liked I always buy doubles. Now,
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: I love how I want to pose a figure and
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: I want a figure on card because I think that
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: there is an art to the box, to the presentation
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: to everything, like and like I feel like that is
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: the purest form is supposed to be in and is
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: like when it's on card. But then obviously you want
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: to play with it too.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: So yes, yeah, yeah, okay, all right. So then and
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: that we went to Happy eight in Milwaukee.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: I believe it was it's Super eight or Happy eight. Yeah,
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: yeah something mate.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and then uh oh, no problem, So we were there.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: You you convinced me to buy that Luke. I got
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: a really good deal on it.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: You also convinced me to buy a Han solo I
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: did later on. I actually you gotta got fired for that.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: I got fired for that. I did talk about that
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: in the podcast. Pretty ridiculous. But I made a whole
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: display with both of those. So I have like a
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: it's in a prime spot in my room. The Luke
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: and the Han hung up, and I put the new
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: versions of those figures open in front of them.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: You should, uh, you should get like a little devil
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: figure and then like.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: You micro brawler in the Yeah.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: So I'm glad that I could, uh you know, convince you.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: I hope that I get to do that in the future.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: But uh so.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: Now you have if you just started within the year,
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: what are we talking, You got one shelf in the
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: office or something.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, right, So my I guess my toy collecting started
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: a little bit before that. What was it two years
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: ago whenever the Haslab Galactus came up for pre order. Yeah,
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: I was talking to Dan Houson about it and he's like, oh, yeah,
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: I bought two of them, like maybe I can resell
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: one of them and pay for the other one. I
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: was like, oh, that's cool. So I looked it up
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: and I was like, well, this figure is awesome, and
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: uh I've always had a thing for like big figures,
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: and I was like, well, I have to have this.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: So I bought. I bought two of them as well.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: And that was like before I started collecting toys again,
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: So that just kind of added into the collection. So
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: my collection is unique in the fact that it is
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: very just nostalgic for me. It's almost me like just
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: collecting toys that like spark a memory from my childhood. Absolutely,
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: so I have I have so much shit I haven't
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: like properly displayed at all. I'm in the I'm in
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: like the the midst of that right now.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: I have fun of it. That's the new playing with
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: the toys I have.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: Like, Uh, I went and got a bunch of those
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: like billy bookcases from Ikea. So I have like two
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: big ones and like three small ones and they're kind
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: of like curved in my office and uh, Galactus is
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: right in the middle with all of the heralds. Uh
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: what else do I have? So I've made.
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: Some fantastic four would be flying around them or.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: No, no, I just got the heralds fantastic forest boring.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: It's weird, but so my my collections are mainly Spawn.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: I love McFarland toys.
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: The vintage or the new ones, so both.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: I've collected all of the new spawns like that are
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: in Target right now because they are incredible looking. I
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: think that McFarland maybe over time, has had the best
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: figures of all.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: Time away when I was a kid. Yeah, it's like,
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: doesn't even it wasn't even a toy.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: So yeah exactly. I mean it might might have said
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: not a toy on the package. Yeah, yeah, but you know,
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: the spawn toys, the original ones I've gotten like the
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: first wave, and then like now I'm just collecting everything else,
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: which there's just so many. But they're cheap. They're super cheap,
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: Like I don't think there's a spawn toy that's over.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: Twenty dollars, even the old ones, the old ones.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: Especially, Wow. So like you can get any almost any
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: carded spawn toy for ten bucks, like in decent condition.
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: You know they have like I think over the pandemic
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: they came out with like they did like a kickstarter
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: for these like crazy looking spawn toys. Oh yeah, those
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: were pretty pricey. Those were a couple hundred bucks. But
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: I mean as far as like collecting, like you're not
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: gonna break the bank collecting spon toys. They just look awesome.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: So I went to home depot. I got a bunch
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: of like plastic tracking and if you if you double
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: face tape the tracking on the wall, you can slide
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: the card in and it holds. So it's like it's
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: kind of like a little cheap hack. I mean I
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: think it was. The tracking was it was really cheap,
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: so like fifty bucks for like an entire wall, and
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: then you slide the card and then it sucks because
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: some of the figures are heavy so it'll pull off.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: But they're ten bucks. You just put a little bit
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: of tape on the back and stick it to the wall.
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: Okay, I like that.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so I did that all around the TV in
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: my office. So now my wife calls it the spon Tron.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: But there's like fifty carded spawn toys around that. It
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: started with one, and you can see that one that
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: I bought. It's on Ethan pages to vlogged from Happy eight.
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: I bought a widow toy and then they just kind
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: of blew up from there, and especially when you find
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: out how cheap they are. You go to a story
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: you're like, oh, these are all ten bucks, Like yeah,
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: by thirty of them.
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: So yeah, Ethan's talked before about enjoying the you know,
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: you start a collection and you sort of say, I'm
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: only going to buy this in a store because I
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: enjoy the looking for it. Because you could just literally
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: you could be sitting in gatering and buy every sponn
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: toy you need eBay. So what do you do both?
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: Or so I do both? I like to for certain things,
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: so for like the Spawn toys, I'm almost using it
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: as like a wallpaper. So I'm just kind of like
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: I've bought a couple of lots on eBay, but I
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: do like finding like the rare ones. You know, they
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: have like different color variants and they have different special
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: edition ones. I like finding those in the wild. But
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: so it kind of started with Spawn. I've always liked Marvel.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: That's like always been my thing.
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: Are you doing the vintage or the if you got
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: into the legends.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: I got a couple of Legends. I'm trying not to
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: get like too deep into that. I'm trying to like
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: limit it. So I like Daredevil, Punisher and Ghostwriter, and
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to I'm kind of bummed that has that
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: Ghostwriter didn't fund.
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: But did you get that new retro karting ghost ghost Writer?
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, awesome. It's sick. So I try to like limit
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: some of my collections. Like the higher end stuff that
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: I collect is like Storm collectibles. I tried to stick
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: with characters that were also wrestlers, So I have like
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: I have the Suzuki, I have the Likeer, but I
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: also have like Zenggi from Street Fighter. There's a couple
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: other street Fighters guys that are also wrestlers I can't
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: remember off time. Yeah, yeah, he's a he's a sumo wrestler.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: But then there's like a David I can't think of
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: the name right now.
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: I only played Street Fighter two anyways.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but then like the Mortal Kombat figures are amazing,
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: like the Kintaro and then the one that I'm looking
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: for currently, which is my current grail, I guess is
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: to become a Goro bro with Ethan Oh yeah, Dane.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: But it's like I refuse to buy it online, like
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: I have to find that in.
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: The wild, especially on a blog, would be great.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. So a couple Storm collectibles, some Super seven stuff,
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: like obviously this stuff is way priceier, so yeah, I
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: try to limit myself a little bit with that. Uh,
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: Turtles is like I would say, becoming my main thing.
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: So which ones the seven?
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: So I have a bunch of Super seven Turtles. I
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: have like Bebop Rock, Sady, Shredder, Sewer, Samurai Leo. I
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: just actually got all of the loose playmate figures of
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: those like complete, so I can like put them with
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: the Super seven Ultimates, which is pretty cool. But I
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: like the quarter scale Necca figures as well. Oh yeah,
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: Mecca Mecca I think overall maybe makes the best toy
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: lines currently too. Their licensings are like right up my alley,
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: Like they have Terminator, Predator Aliens and then Ninja Turtles.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: That's all the things I like. But as far as
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: like having like the tune series stuff and then they
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: have the the movie stuff, it's amazing. And like everyone
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: at Mecca is like huge wrestling fans as well.
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, did you meet oh man, what's his name? We
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: met him at Comic Con a bunch of times. Randy.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: I haven't met Randy. Oh maybe I did me Randy.
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: He's a man.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: I think I met him at New York Comic Con.
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: He loves Yeah, And but my friend Blaine works there,
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: and my friend Blaine has introduced me to everybody else
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: and they were all going to you know, they went
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: to Full Gear when we were there. Oh yeah, So
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: it was like it was cool to like have that
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: path client. It's like, oh, hey, I like toys, you
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: guys like wrestling. Let's talk. So you know, I have
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: a ton of neck of stuff. I actually just found
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: my grail last night, which was like my ultimate grail
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: and it's it's an interesting one because I couldn't even
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: find it online, Like I couldn't find it anywhere. And
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: it's the quarter scale Raphael and Disguise.
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: Oh so I didn't even know they had that.
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and I got it for like a really good price.
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: So I got a toy Vomit.
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I also got a Grail at toy Vomit.
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: Very he sold to me for like four hundred bucks
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: and like the cheapest I've seen it is like six
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: hundred on eBay and that's like a sold one. So
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: it's like, you can't even find this damn figure. And
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: then he sold it to me for a great price,
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: so I can't complain at all. And it's an awesome
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: looking figure. All of the quarter scale stuff, Like I
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: have Raff and Disguise, h Shredder, and then I have
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: a foot Soldier. Eventually I'm gonna have all of them.
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: But yeah, I really think that those are really well made.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: They look awesome, Like Shredder's cape is incredible, like his
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: like his outfit is like Sparkles. It's their detail is amazing.
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: And have you been to Mecca like that?
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: Actually, so we keep talking about doing a lot.
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: I'm sure the next time we're in that area, I
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: can hit them up and probably get a tour again.
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: But it is like everything you know, I've been to
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: a couple uh, either toy or like I went to
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: has or I went to Wizards in Seattle and like
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: tour the Magic the Gathering facility and like they're like, oh,
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: you know, it's not as exciting as you think, like
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: and like there's a lot of artwork and there's some
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: there's cool stuff to see, but like the I mean,
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: it's just kind of an office. The same with Jazzuars.
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: Like Jazzuars has some cool stuff, but it's it's an office.
• 15:54
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: Neca is like everything you wanted to be. Like every
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: desk that they like are sculpting or painting just has
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: like hundreds of toys that they've also sculpted and painted
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: around them. They have an entire wall of like predator
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: figures that they've produced. There's there's so many, there's macats
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: of like every sculpture that they've done. Like it's it's
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: all the that you want out of like a you know,
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: a toy fan, and like you're like this is awesome,
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: that's great. Yeah, So it's like, uh, you know, kind
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: of like Willie Walker's chocolate factory for toys. I can't.
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: I'm pretty blown away that you've just listed all that
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: and it just kind of started this year. But it
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: is so fun.
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So between the neck of stuff, Ninja turtles spawned
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: that those are like my kind of like my main things,
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: I guess, and then like I like some of the
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: Storm stuff, and then obviously some some of the Marvel stuff,
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: Like I just got, like the new Mojo that came out.
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: If it's a cool looking toy, I usually pick it up.
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: Oh, I know that Mojo is awesome. That's set or
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: did just the single?
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: Uh? Just the single?
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: Okay?
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah. But the thing I don't like about the new
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: Legend stuff. And I understand it's like for the environment
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: and stuff, but I don't like that the package.
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: You hate it.
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: It's like like I said, you know, I like to
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: see a figure and it's yeah proper when.
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: You're hanging a box, it sucks. It sucks. Yeah with
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: the box with the picture of it.
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I want to see the thing posed. I want
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: to see all the accessories, like.
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there's got there's got to be a way that
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: you can use less plaux this plastic or or even
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: the slip off so that you can have a box
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: with nothing, no plastic underneath. There's there's got to be
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: a way. But the way the ones that they have
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: now that you it's just like a box that you
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: open and the figures wrapped in a piece of paper.
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: That's terrible. Yeah, But there are versions where you can
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: like kind of slip out the cover and it's a
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: bare figure there, and it's a little scary because some
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: kids touching it or something and somebody's spitting on it.
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: I don't know who knows, But there's got to be
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: a happy medium somewhere.
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And you know the thing about the neck of
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: stuff that I don't like is the window box boxes open.
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: You just talking about that.
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: So the packaging is amazing, it looks awesome, but displaying
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: it sucks because like when you open it through the window,
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: like you're like, yeah, I would want to display like this,
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: but you can't. So I don't know if there if
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: anybody has an alternative to this, please let me know,
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: because I love the neck of box, I love the artwork.
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: I love the way that the figure looks on card,
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: but you just it's just fucking closed.
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think in with if you only have a few.
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: For example, I have a shelf with the Super Shredder
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: ye in the box opened. It's signed by Kevin ash
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: that's sick, and then keeping the box open is a
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: loose version of it. So it's kind of like a
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: super Shredder things.
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: That's not bad, it's one.
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: But if you were going to display a bunch, you're
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: you're losing space with the open box.
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: With the money buy and all the devils.
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: Okay, last thing before we get to the fan questions,
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: what no wrestling?
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: No, I don't like wrestling toys. Well, I have a
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: bunch of aw toys because I like to collect my friends.
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: But yeah, I just think wrestling toys are boring, so
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: my figure will not be boring.
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so you have do you have uh Malachi? Do
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: you have the Supreme?
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: I do have the Supreme? Dude.
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: That's like that goes right with your spawn figures straight up.
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And you know that's kind of what the House
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: of Black does. It's like we always have in mind,
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: like what's the toy going to look like? What are
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: the pictures going to look like? Like we have all
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: that in mind when we're designing our gear, designing our
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: pay per view stuff, like we want them to be like, oh,
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: this has to be a figure every time. We want
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: them to be overwhelmed with like what do we choose?
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: You know, because you know, I was talking to one
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: of the Jazz Wars guys and he said, it's frustrating
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: when uh, you know, a wrestler be like, hey, we're
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: like when am I getting another figure? And they're be
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: like you haven't changed your fucking gear and a year
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: and a half, Like why would we make another figure
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: of you? It's like, if you keep it fresh and
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: if you keep it interesting, it's like, you know, we
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: do the face paint every once in a while, we
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: do different gear every pay per view, then they always
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: have something to work with.
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: Absolutely.
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: I have new tattoos every every figure, so it keeps
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: it keeps the customizers on their feet too.
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: Have you been talking to them at all about the
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: tattoo situation? Like did you take a bunch of detailed
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: picks or yeah?
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: So actually here I'm going to show you to get
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: your reaction from it. But the people on the podcast
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: are going to have to wait. But I have some
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: photos of my figure.
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: Oh holy shit, this is.
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: Just the three D render. Obviously this is.
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: Oh my god, holy shit with the with the tattoos.
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: That is you're probably the most expensive figure of all time.
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Between me and Malick, I were really keeping on
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: our feet and then this is this will be the
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: alternate head.
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: Oh that is so cool? Yeah wow uh And now
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: you did have an FTC, right.
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: I did have an FTC, which I maintained that I
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: have the best FTC.
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: Okay, Okay, I don't know. I've never even seen it.
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: It's it looks like me, it's got.
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: The ski mask on. No, no, did it come with
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: the ski mask?
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: No? That's that's my biggest grievance is that I was like, hey,
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: can you put a ski mask in there, whether it
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: be a softgoat or whatever, and they were like, no,
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: we can't do it. But why not? Like this is
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: a fucking bag on my head?
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: Basically, is that why you got the brawler with the
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: ski mask? Yes, that's what I was thinking.
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so my first brawler sucked. Okay, Ryan, I guess
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: at the time that he said that they didn't they
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: couldn't do tattoos. So it's just like a weird version
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: of me in a vest with no tattoos I see,
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: which is like.
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: I know they've tried to They've covered people up when
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: they can so that they can.
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's why my new brawler is wearing a jacket.
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: So it's that's like my Ring of Honor gear Brawler.
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: Eventually he's gonna have to figure it out because we're
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: gonna have an aw one. But yeah, I mean the
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: new Broler looks awesome. It has my like front piece,
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: it has a ski mask, you know it it looks awesome.
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: It looks like me. Yeah, my FTC figure also looks
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: like me. I took really detailed photos of it and
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: then they made like stickers for all my tattoos and
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: it has everything. Yeah, it looks great. It has and
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: it's funny because you can see like my tattoo journey
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: through my figures, Like my FTC figure has my original
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: chess piece which I then covered up and it'll be
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: you know, my AW figure will have my new tattoos.
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: Cool and but my first AW figure it doesn't have
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: a head tattoo. It doesn't have a couple other tattoos
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: I've gotten since then, So it's like it's a constant progression.
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true. Wow, And uh, there's what about did
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: you do you get like, do you get your tattoo
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: artists to like sign away for that you can put
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: it on a figure.
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: It's not a real thing. So that happened one time
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: with like the Randy Orton person. Yes, I don't know
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: how the fuck that even happened.
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: Like I think it was more of the video game,
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: to be honest.
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: Still, it's like I don't understand, you know, I don't know.
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: I feel like that was just someone chasing a bag
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: and you know, by all means whatever, they got it.
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: But if my tattoo artists did that to me, I'd
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: kicked the shit out of them. Okay, okay, it's like
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: I paid you for this, you put it on my skin.
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: I own it. Now, what are you gonna do take
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: it back? I don't think so true. It's like it's
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: not like I have like a Pablo Picasso piece on
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: my leg, you know what I mean?
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah? So yeah, all right, I get it. All right,
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: let's get some let's go to the fan questions here.

• 26:19
  Speaker 1: thought Nope was really good. I know it was very polarizing,
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: but it's a really cool monster movie in my opinion.
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: I also like really good practical effects movies, like I
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: love Cronenberg movies, body horror movies, so you know, like
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: The Fly and all of those movies where it's just

  Speaker 2: Did you ever talk to the Blade about this stuff?
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: He's yeah, we we we've had we've been in a

• 27:01
  Speaker 1: Blade has a pretty good grasp on yeah, on great
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: horror movies. But yeah, I like a lot of like

• 27:10
  Speaker 2: I would say, did you watch The Last of Us yet?
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: I have not watched Last of Us, so I'm not
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: a big zombie person. I don't like zombie movies. I
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: think that they're boring. But the Last of Us, I know,
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: it is really popular, really awesome. I never played the games.
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: Too scary.
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: I can't do it. I jump it's too much.
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: But yeah, I think my wife wants to watch it,
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: so eventually we'll get into it.
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: I'm only two episodes in. It's really good. But the
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: father daughter stuff gets me at having a daughter.
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: That, yeah, that I feel like that is going to
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: also get me as well.
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, the first episode was very tough. Okay, this
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: is a good one. Matthew Gilson says, when the House
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: of Black goes to Vegas for double or nothing, which
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: house wins the casino or the House of Black.
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: Blake, Well, Malachi is not a gambler. Okay, buddy. Buddy
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: says he's a gambler, but he doesn't get as deep
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: as I do. Oh yeah, so I'm straight edge, which
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: means that I'm an addictive gambler. That's my vice in life.
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but.
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so it really just depends on what the swings
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: are that weekend. You know, I've been up fifteen grand,
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: I've been down five, So really just depends on how
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: the slot machines are paying that day.
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: I guess I spent the entire week there and I
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: didn't gamble literally once.
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: That is not even a testament of yourself. I couldn't.
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: I Like, if I know that there's a casino within
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: ten minutes of me, it is like I have to
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: change myself to the bed to not go.
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: All right, Yeah, that's funny. I was just so mad
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: that I had to pay thirty bucks for a water
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: Chris Wayne, Which wrestler, besides yourself has the best tattoos?
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: Probably Malachi? Yeah yeah, but I have better tattoos than him,
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: So I have the best tattoos in wrestling beside yourself.
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: All Right, we already talked about all right, how did
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: you become good friends with with our good buddy don
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: well my enemy don?
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: Oh your enemy, don my enemy don? Everyone's enemy done.
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: You know, so Dan Housen is he grew up going
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: to punk and hardcore shows, so that already kind of
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: gives us like common ground. I guess I met him
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: through Butcher. Actually, Butcher's known him for quite a while.
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: I think probably since he started wrestling, and I met
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: him in Buffalo, kind of kept up with him through there,
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: and then when he started coming around Rick of Honor,
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: that's when he was like starting to become more popular
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: and U we did a couple of bits together and
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: we just kind of, like, I don't know, our friendship
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: just kind of grew from there, and we, like to say,
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: music with like sig.
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: Stuff as you heard, very similar interests.
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, same yeah, comics, toys.
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: Movies, similar business practices.
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's a little more than you know.
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, but he blows me away with his uh
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: his business savvy it.
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: Did you see what he's doing last night?
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: Last night?
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: Now, he did a whole whatnot on at toy Vomit
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: where he was just putting his seal of approval stickers
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: on toys and signing them and selling them. I could
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: never like nobody would buy it from me, but from him.
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: His signature is basically gold.
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: Now it's unbelievable. Chris Stanley says, what's your first memory
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: of going to hardcore shows? He says, note, I just
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: got God's Hate self title on vinyl and it hasn't
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: left my record player. Can't wait to see God's Hate
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: live at some point.
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: Well, that's that's awesome. I appreciate that. Earliest memories of
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: going to hardcore shows. So I started going to hardcore
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: shows when I was like fifteen, sophomore, freshman or sophomore
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: in high school. It was exciting, it was dangerous, it
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: was I don't know. Going to a hardcore show is
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: much different than going to a you know, a concert
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: at like the Forum, right, you go to a shitty bar,
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: or you go to a restaurant, or you go to
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: a you know, sometimes they're in storage units. Like it
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: just depends on wherever you can get it. Like, there's
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: gonna be fights, there's gonna be maybe more than fights.
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: Maybe someone gets stabbed at the show. I don't know.
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: There's always this era of danger and like unknowing, you
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: have to be aware of your surroundings. You know, maybe
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: my hid hit by somebody, it's somebody might jump on
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: your head, but it's always like it's just a great
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: release of aggression of energy. Whatever you got going on
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: in life.
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: And being I guess maybe being a straight edge guy
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: or straight edge kid. The teenager that was kind of.
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: Your Yeah, so yeah, I mean like I didn't drink,
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: I didn't do drugs, but I that was just a
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: violent little shithead and I needed to get it out.
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: And you know, that was like a Ethan Page came
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: to a hardcore show. He came to a got A
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: show a couple of months ago, and he basically said
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: it perfectly. He said, it is a safe space to
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: do very unsafe things, and that is like the perfect
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: encapsulation of hardcore.
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: Music and also wrestling. You described wrestling. Yeah, what what
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: are some of your I guess, I mean, your whole
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: body's covered basically, Johnny J Beasis. What are some of
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: your inspirations for your tattoo pie h all over the place?
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean usually it's me just finding an artist
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: that I like and then just having them kind of
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: do whatever they want.
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: Now, the first piece, did you feel like that had
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: to when you got that? Did they have to be
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: something very special or so where you were just like,
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: I know I'm gonna get a million, so we'll just
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: start with this.
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: So I always knew I was gonna get a million,
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: but my parents were not excited about that. So my
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: first piece is on my is my ribs, full red piece.
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: It says mother and father on it. It's like they
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: can't be mad about this, right, So it's like I
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: come on with this and they're just like, oh my god,
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: it's beautiful. And my dad's like, yeah, it's all right.
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: And then my dad always said, you know, only only
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: bikers and prostitutes have tattoos. It's like, well look at
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: me now, pop. But you know, if I wasn't completely
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: covering tattoos, who knows where I'd be. Who knows if
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: I would be in the position I'm in today.
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: So true.
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: You know, Now now I'm able to take care of
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: my parents and make their life a whole lot easier.
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: So up your dad.
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I'm sure he's okay with it now.
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's great with it now.
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: Ronnie Burke, who's your favorite Ninja Turtle?
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: Raphael? Hands down?
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah? He Raphael you know goes to hardcore shows.
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: Yoh yeah, when you like, when you read the like
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: the descriptions of the turtles, it's like me reading a
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: biography of myself. When it's like Raphael, it's just like stubborn,
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: hard headed, like wants to be the leader, but isn't like, uh,
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: focused enough to really be the leader. It's like Leonardo
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: has the patience and everything, but he doesn't have the
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: aggression in size and power that Raphael has.
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: So that's great.
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Raphael's a man.
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: That's same like Dona Tello. He's the nerd techie guy,
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: you know.
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, witty, funny.
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: Max Caster says, ask him if he likes me? Please? No, okay,
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: all right, Bobby Meshling, was there thought of changing your
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: ring name in AW?
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: So? Yes, you know, obviously coming into AW, I knew
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: that the name Brodie Lee Brody in general has a
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: you know, high standing, and obviously with his passing, I
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: didn't want to be disrespectful, so I got permission from Amanda.
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: Oh really.
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And you know when I had brought this up
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: to when I was talking to Chris Harrington about it,
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: he's kind of, you know, our in between contract guy.
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: Turns out that Chris Harrington was like Brodie Lee's best
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: friend for twenty years, and it was like in his
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: wedding and vice versa. Yep, and he's just like, you know,
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: as somebody that knew him for this amount of time.
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: I don't think that he would have he he actually said,
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: I think Brody would have thought it would be funny
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: if there was two Brody's in aw Sure, so you know,
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: getting those approvals.
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: It was fine, exactly, Yeah, absolutely? What about?
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: What about?
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: Johnny Espinoza says, your favorite venue to play?
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: Uh or go to?
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: I guess.
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: I don't know. That's that's kind of hard. It's like
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: it differs by city, Like you know, there's always gonna
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: be different venues in different cities that are just like
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: better than others. I would say the midnight hour and
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: in San Fernando Valley is like that's my home base.
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: Okay, and you you still live in California?
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: No, okay, don't tell anybody.
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you won't be able to find him anywhere in California.
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: Will Baltello says he we already know the answer to this.
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: Did you ever end up finding the quarter scale raphinges
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: Guy's Footsolder movie from the Ethan.
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: Bidwell guess there you go, just found my grail.
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: Okay, I saw a good one.
• 37:00
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: Philip Claycomb says, favorite tag partner of all time and
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: why so did you ever tag with don.
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: No? Okay no, that was an idea though. I pitched
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: that idea and a Ring of Honor actually, So obviously
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: me and Malick I have great chemistry. We're great friends.
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: I feel like our in ring style meshes very well.
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: I love being a tag team partner. So he is
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: absolutely one of my favorites. My other favorite would be
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: Tyler Bateman. He is a California guy from Oklahoma. He
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: basically taught me how to wrestle, so you know, I
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: kind of borrowed a lot of stuff from him. Like
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: the barking that I do in the ring is because
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: of him. Uh, it's kind of an homage to him.
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: He worked for Ring of Honor for a little while.
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: Uh yeah, I was gonna say, but yeah.
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: Now he trains guys at Santino Brothers Wrestling Academy in California.
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: I think he is one of the best wrestlers on
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: the planet and he's a great friend of mine. So
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: there's like a weird like, you know, obviously, teaming with
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: him was like teaming with my trainers, So it's hard
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: not to say him. Yeah, but obviously Malachi is like
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: me and him just kind of like really gel well together.
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I think it's great. Powerhouse fast guy works works perfect.
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: Let's try to find one more to a couple more
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: to wrap this up. How often do you put Tyler Atkinson?
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: How often you put beard oil in?
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: Never?
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: I'm not a beard oil guy.
• 38:52
  Speaker 5: No.
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: I put palmade in my hair, and then I put
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: whatever's left on my hands in my beard, and then
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: I comb it down.
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: Actually I started doing that too. They put the hair
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: stuff and then just a quick yep thing and the
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: beard Robert tamborrough. I uh, I think I know the
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: story behind this, but I'm not sure. What other body
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: hair do you plan on selling and whatnot? Did you
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: sell your beard? Is that true?
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah? So I cut like a little lock of beard
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: like from my under beard off and sold on whatnot
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: and someone pay one hundred dollars for it? Did you?
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: Did you wrap it up in a little hair.
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: Ty Yeah, put a little bow on it, put a
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: little bag. Uh.
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: Which Benny Angel says, which homie toy is your favorite?
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: Did you continue with that, because you were going nuts
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: about the Homies and you get the Homie shirt.
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: I didn't get the Hoby shirt. Charlie got the Homies
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: Charlie did y Yeah. Uh, I don't know which one
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: is my favorite. I just like Ellie. Look, I used
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: to have a lot of the stickers. Actually I did
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: not continue with that, but if anybody wants to give
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: me some Homie toys, I would accept them with open arms.
• 39:56

• 40:23
  Speaker 1: toys like storm collectibles. He has all of them and
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: like multiples of all of them. He's like he's like
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: the person where you never you would never expect how
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: deep he can go with like comic books, video games, toys,
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: and he's just like he's the young Cracked Vault. If
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: you guys get him on the podcast or if you
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: think you can get him on a toy hunt. That's
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: you're gonna be pretty mind blown on the knowledgy he has.
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, we gotta do it. I don't think Buddy cares,
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: does he? But he doesn't collect it?
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah? I think he probably collects his own toys. I
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: don't know.
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: Okay, Yeah, he's got a couple kind of an elite
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: all right. Last one, this is cool. Christy's Wood says
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: who would win in a fight? RoboCop or T eight
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: hundred hundred? Is Arnold?
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: Right?
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: Is that technically?
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: Yes? Yes, Uh, I'm gonna go with T Hunter just
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: because RoboCop is a cop.
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: But I agree, you know, there's no question about it.
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: And he like Moove's like real more robotic. He doesn't
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: have the articulation of the T Hunter. Yes, yes, so yeah,
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: I'm going I'm going to hundred all day. Yeah me too?
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: All right? What what would you like to plug here?
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: How can people follow along on your your collecting journey
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: in my journey?
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: Uh? In my collecting journey? Uh, I don't know, maybe
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: I need I'm so I in the can I have
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: an unboxing show with my son and that that is
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: hopefully going to take form at some point here in
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: the near future, Uh, it'll be the Dante and Brody
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: Show and it'll just be me and my son unboxing toys,
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: and that will be a way to obviously go with
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: our journey. But you know, my I feel like my
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: journey in toys, uh is heavily influenced by my kids.
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: Like I just bought them the giant sized re released turtles,
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: and like he has a Raphael, my daughter has Leonardo.
• 42:21

• 42:23
  Speaker 1: But like, you know, I bought him Castle, Gray Skull
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: and a bunch of like he Man figures. But he's
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: so funny and he's so like energetic, So I feel
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: like people will get a good kick out of this.
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: And also seeing you know, big bad, scary Brodie King
• 42:39
