Here to Stay!: The Beanie Baby Bubble
Manage episode 371575683 series 3468382
In advance of the Apple+ Beanie Baby Bubble film starring Zach Galifianakis and Elizabeth Banks, Patrick and Alex revisit the wild speculation involving Beanie Baby toys. Patrick presents to Alex an infamous 1998 Beanie Baby Price Guide that projected what prices would be in 2008 for the pellet filled toys. They were…not accurate. Along the way we find out why Beanie Babies were great toys in the first place, listen to some of the worst music ever made by human beings, and somehow it all ends up with a Donald Trump Super-Mega-Huge cookbook.
Theme Song is Satellites by Swenny.
