I went into the recording of this podcast ready to tear comedian/writer Neil Rubenstein a new one with how bad I thought acclaimed sitcom "Friends" is....I mean...it's just bad, right? A lame 90s sitcom loved by the bland and spicelessNeil proved me wrong folks. Proved me wrong and reminded me of how much I loved the series as a kid with it's clever writing, wonderful cast, and frequent passing of the bek-something test. Friends might not be for everyone, but after hearing about Neil gush about HBO's gazillion dollar baby made me want to pirate a few episodes and check it out again.This episode is brought to ya by Cana TherapeuticsGo check them out for all your CBD needs.

For the last GPP of 2020 my man Nigel Fullerton pulled up to talk about his guilty pleasure, Funko PopsFolks, I'm not gonna lie to ya...when I worked in retail I hated Funko Pops. The people, the quality of the figures, the "shelfwarmer" Pops of characters nobody wanted that my stores had DOZENS of at times...but in reality, as a toy collector myself, I was just projecting all the junk I don't like about my collecting onto another niche.If you don't know, Funko Pops are a line of figurines that have the license to make virtually every character, fictional or otherwise, that has ever existed....and I'm only kinda joking. Seriously, this episode proves Nigel's guilty pleasure is pop culture and just expressed thru Funko.  All the figures adhere to a bobblehead style of tiny squat body with a big ol head, so your Goku Pop won't look too silly for standing next to your Ren & Stimpy Pops.  Are they for me? No. Do they get a ton of people into toy collecting that otherwise might never have enjoyed the hobby? AbsotootlyThis episode is long as hell, and while I encourage y'all to listen to the whole thang, skip to these time stamps to actually hear about Funko Pops!00:18:0000:37:3401:17:1001:35:2501:53:25
