Description
🎙️ Get Dispensed the Pez Podcast Episode 31: Mentors, Memories & Minty Magic – Bob & Faye Tipton’s PEZ Legacy
G’day Pez Posse, and welcome back to Get Dispensed: The PEZ Podcast — the sweetest show where little plastic heads click open not just candy, but friendships, memories, and a whole lot of community spirit.
This week’s episode is all about mentors, milestones, and the magic of PEZ. My guests, Bob & Faye Tipton, have spent decades at the heart of the collecting world — from running the Washington PEZ Gathering, to writing books, to leading the weekly community Zoom calls that bring collectors together across the globe.
For me, they’ve been more than collectors. They’ve been mentors, cheerleaders, and friends. Whether it’s offering advice, welcoming new faces, or even saying, “I’ve got just the dispenser you’ve been looking for,” Bob and Faye embody everything that makes the PEZ community special.
We’ll chat about:
🍬 Their origin story and the first (and latest!) dispensers in their collection
🍬 Bob’s passion for PEZ badges and why they matter
🍬 Memories from gatherings and conventions that shaped their journey
🍬 What keeps them clicking after all these years
🍬 And — since Bob’s recently retired — what a “PEZ retirement dream” looks like!
Stick around for a rapid-fire round of Click Quick questions, and this week’s listener challenge: What’s your PEZ retirement dream? Mine’s heading to Europe to meet as many collectors as I can — but I want to hear yours!
Bob & Faye’s story is a reminder that PEZ isn’t just about the candy or the plastic — it’s about the people.
✨ Tune in for an episode filled with wisdom, warmth, and a whole lot of minty magic.
