We Know You Hate It When We Talk About the Toys

Date

June 26th, 2017

With Dan Telfer, Paul Rust, and Tony and the Thaxtones.

Recorded live at NerdMelt

The guys recorded a huge backlog of shows while they were in L.A.
Origin of the "People hate toy talk" running joke.
- Back in season 1, Pete's wife pointed out that she didn't have the toys growing up, and would zone out when the guys would talk about them, and maybe other people felt the same.
- When Pete mentioned this on Twitter, people came out strongly in favor of the toys, but by then it had become a running gag.
Both our guests brought up the toys on their past appearances.
Dan would've liked to have been able to swear, but there was a kid right there in the front row.

With a lag time of 196 days, this is the longest period between when an episode was recorded and when it was released.
The first mention of possibly doing a toys-only episode was raised in the Summer Update just prior to the L.A. live show back in April 2014.
Green berets were worn by many different armed forces around the world, but originated with British commando forces during WWII[1].

Alex: Like so many Palpatines, we played everyone like puppets.
Dan: ...there's nothing more terrifying than other people's parents.
Pete: (in response to Paul's question "what's your favorite beret?") Raspberry is number one. Alex: Green, because we're patriots.
