We cling to the toys we associate with our childhood, because they represent our last grasp at innocence. Before the world grabs you by the collar, holds you up against your locker and goes through your pockets before stating: “...this is life now, get used to it nerd!”
Yes; I am channeling 5th grade, but my larger point is:
being an adult is terrible, it’s awful.
That’s what makes certain toys from our childhood that much more important whether it be: Legos, Cabbage Patch dolls, Super Mario on Nintendo or even boring-ass Monopoly.
We all love these toys from our childhood.
Well, we've found one person that has such a reaction to one of these childhood icons that it led to a story I have not stopped laughing about since hearing it.
Cookie, almost 50 episodes into this podcast, still manages to surprise me over and over again.
It would be well within our rights to just tell that story about this childhood toy and end the show- but never that!
Not in this economy.
We have to give you some “bang” for your proverbial “buck”, and we do just that by Corinne getting to the final chapter in the Lord of the Pink Ring saga. A saga that involves: an unsullied hot tub, clear purses, missed connections with buffaloes and a rug that nearly turned this into a one-man podcast.
This is one for the ages.
Enjoy!
