Episode Transcript
[00:00:08] Speaker A: Hello and welcome to 404. Site not found for April 30, 2026.
It's been a while, but we're back.
[00:00:15] Speaker B: Yeah, it just seems like we always show up at random times. Like, will there be a podcast or won't there be?
[00:00:21] Speaker A: And this. This episode, though, it's really random. We already have a title for it.
[00:00:25] Speaker B: So do we want to get into it all, how this kind of started?
[00:00:30] Speaker A: Yeah, I mean, because I don't think it's not. Not safe for work.
We just won't describe it in immense detail, graphic fashion.
So it's all started with a meme that was posted on.
What's the page that you follow?
[00:00:46] Speaker B: It's a day in the life of a PWD person with a disability.
[00:00:50] Speaker A: And also, if you hear hammering in the background, our neighbors outside are, like, doing something.
[00:00:57] Speaker B: Yeah, we have our. We're sitting in the living room. We're on the couch today, but we have the window open because it's beautiful out and it would be a waste to just close that and turn on the ac.
[00:01:06] Speaker A: Ryan hall made a post today on X, and he was like, yeah, if you live in these places, you want to have your windows open because the weather is really good. And he mentioned Seattle and Oklahoma City. So I was just like, okay, yeah, open window.
[00:01:20] Speaker B: That's a weather person that we watch a lot on YouTube. Go check him out sometime.
[00:01:25] Speaker A: He's really good.
I do wonder what they're. And it sounds like it's in, like, the neighborhood.
[00:01:30] Speaker B: Oh, it's not far away at all. They're either, like, putting together a swing set or something.
[00:01:36] Speaker A: Could be.
[00:01:36] Speaker B: I don't know. But yeah, so all this started with this.
I found it on this Facebook page. I don't know if it existed anywhere else, but this page did a really good job describing it. And it's a comic with, you know, the thought bubble for the speech. And I guess, do we first need to talk a little bit about what a Mr. Potato Head is in case, like, somebody doesn't know?
[00:02:03] Speaker A: Well, here's what the comic is, and we'll describe because we've got.
[00:02:07] Speaker B: We've got potato heads out the wazoo.
[00:02:09] Speaker A: Oh, yeah.
So the comic is Mr. Potato Head. And. And if you do. If you're like, what's Mr.
[00:02:16] Speaker B: Potato Head?
[00:02:17] Speaker A: Most people are pretty familiar because, like, I know Nick Daniels, who tunes into a lot of stuff, had. Hey, look, he's getting a shout out on the podcast.
[00:02:26] Speaker B: Yeah, free publicity, Nick.
[00:02:28] Speaker A: There you go, Nick.
See? Should have had something for us to advertise he was like, oh, yeah, Mr. Potato Head. Cool Toy Story reference. So a lot of people know Mr. Potato Head from Toy Story, but whatever. So Mr. Potato Head is a toy that he is literally a potato shaped piece of plastic. And you could put different parts of them. So like eyes, nose, ears, arms, feet. Yeah, his feet. And they all sit, like, on these little, like, pegs and stuff.
[00:02:58] Speaker B: Well, the pieces have pegs and they go in little sockets that are on the potato.
[00:03:02] Speaker A: So you could put like, his eyes on the top of his head.
[00:03:04] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. You could put like his nose where one of the ears.
[00:03:06] Speaker A: I used to like to put an arm on top of his head so the arm would stick up in the air.
[00:03:12] Speaker B: Yeah. The amount of ridiculous pictures we want to get when this is all done of, like, putting parts of the potato in the opposite places of, like, where they're supposed to be on it.
[00:03:23] Speaker A: So the clue of the comic. Comic is Mr. Potato Head. And he's in the bathroom and he is standing at a urinal. And I should not have to explain what that is, but he is standing at the urinal and the caption says, was it.
[00:03:39] Speaker B: Oh, great, I left it at home.
[00:03:40] Speaker A: Oh, great, I left it at home.
And I don't think any more needs to be said.
[00:03:46] Speaker B: The jokes write themselves.
[00:03:47] Speaker A: We thought it was hilarious.
[00:03:50] Speaker B: So much so that later in the day I text the picture of it to my dad and he writes back five minutes later. That's hilarious. I was going to share this with your stepmom.
[00:04:01] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:04:02] Speaker B: And share it with some other family and friends.
[00:04:05] Speaker A: I sent it to my mom.
[00:04:06] Speaker B: Yeah, you did.
[00:04:07] Speaker A: We should. I wonder if I could get my mom to record a podcast with us and, like, we could do.
Let's talk to Liam's mom.
I don't know if she'd be down for that, but I think it'd be really cool.
[00:04:21] Speaker B: Would be a fun idea.
[00:04:23] Speaker A: Yeah, it'd be really neat. So anyway, anyway, this.
[00:04:27] Speaker B: This.
[00:04:27] Speaker A: All this started something.
[00:04:30] Speaker B: Yeah. This happened, I think Monday and by yesterday, you know, it was just.
I don't even know what to what you'd say. Like, I actually wanted to be scratched.
[00:04:43] Speaker A: I got bored and I was like, I wonder if Amazon still sells Mr. Potato Heads. And if they sell Mr. Potato Head.
[00:04:49] Speaker B: what cost?
[00:04:50] Speaker A: What. What, you know, what do they call. What do they, like, what's the. You know.
Because they had changed Mr. Potato Head to Potato Head about four years ago.
[00:05:02] Speaker B: Yeah. So it can be any kind of Potato Head you want it to be.
[00:05:05] Speaker A: And we'll actually talk about that. Because we have the Potato Head set.
But anyways, I'm gonna have.
[00:05:11] Speaker B: You can still find Mr. And Mrs.
[00:05:13] Speaker A: Yes. And I believe this Mr. Potato Head is the toy story Potato Head. And if you don't know Toy Story 5 is coming out, which they have a pair, let me tell you.
So the antagonist of Toy Story 5 is named Lily Pad and is a frog shaped learning device.
That sounds like something that is.
[00:05:38] Speaker B: It does. It sounds really familiar.
[00:05:42] Speaker A: Yeah, I just amazed that they are still.
I don't know what they're building over there. I put up a bird pole the other day and like, that didn't take.
[00:05:55] Speaker B: It wasn't that noisy.
[00:05:56] Speaker A: I wonder. I wonder if you're right, if they're putting in like a swing set or
[00:05:59] Speaker B: something or if they're putting together like a poor swing or.
[00:06:02] Speaker A: Oh, could be, you know, put together
[00:06:04] Speaker B: something that time of year.
But anyway, so yeah, you found out six bucks.
Yeah.
[00:06:13] Speaker A: So I was like, why not?
And that's like 1/4 of a Starbucks.
[00:06:18] Speaker B: Yeah, pretty much.
And so then I go, hey, wait a second. I want to see what else is out there.
[00:06:25] Speaker A: Well, what's sad is I go, I'm gonna buy the Mr. Potato Head. And Oklahoma City, for all of its flaws, has become an Amazon hub. And so I go, well, gee, I can get it like within two hours for three bucks. So we are getting ready to go sleep and we just hear outside and I go out this morning and there literally is just a Mr. Potato Head box on the ground. Not even in like an envelope. It's just laying on the ground.
And I was just like, the delivery guy just had to have gone, what the heck?
Why?
[00:07:02] Speaker B: Yeah, that's my thought. So I look at this too, because why not? And I think you asked.
Yeah, Maybe they have Mrs. Potato Head, too.
[00:07:12] Speaker A: Baby Potato Head.
[00:07:13] Speaker B: Yeah, that's what I went.
[00:07:15] Speaker A: Because there's little ones. And we'll talk about. Actually, I. Once you tell that story, I want to get into like a little history of Mr. Potato Head because I got some factoids.
[00:07:26] Speaker B: So, Yeah, I find Mrs. Potato Head, who's like six or seven bucks herself. And then I see Potato Head or. No, you saw Potato head first with four. 43.
[00:07:37] Speaker A: It was like 43 pieces.
[00:07:39] Speaker B: And so I also went, you know what? Just to see what the new and improved Potato Head is.
I'm picking one up.
So I do. I order it then.
[00:07:50] Speaker A: Then I actually go and read the description, which is really a thing you should do before you order.
[00:07:55] Speaker B: And normally I do. I'm very good about that. Like 98 of the time, we're impulse buyers. One of the times where I failed. Yeah. So we.
[00:08:03] Speaker A: And then we find out that there are three potato bodies. There's two adults and a little baby. So we will get our baby Potato
[00:08:10] Speaker B: Head because they don't make the OG Baby Potato Head anymore. Which is probably a good point to segue into some Mr. Potato Head history.
[00:08:19] Speaker A: And I also want to say that we tend to collect interesting things. So, like, we have Blind Barbie, and you have a. A guide dog for Blind Barbie.
[00:08:29] Speaker B: Yeah, no, that was something that somebody handmade.
[00:08:32] Speaker A: Someone handmade? Yeah, they created that.
[00:08:33] Speaker B: I thought it was.
[00:08:34] Speaker A: And then you just got. Didn't you just get Def Barbie?
[00:08:37] Speaker B: Yes. Who has been discontinued. But I found her on ebay at a very reasonable price. There are still some floating around. Ebay. If you want them, guys, go get them.
[00:08:47] Speaker A: Oh, now they're drilling.
[00:08:48] Speaker B: Yeah. There is also Def Ken, who I believe must still currently be, like, in circulation because he's on Amazon. Have not picked him up yet. But that's may end up being a purchase as well at some point.
[00:09:00] Speaker A: Well, I think de Barbie should go with blind. Blind Barbie. And.
[00:09:03] Speaker B: Yeah, like, they're friends, you know? Yeah, yeah, it's cool.
[00:09:08] Speaker A: But I don't think Blind Barbie knows tasl, so that could be.
[00:09:11] Speaker B: We don't know that. Maybe she does.
[00:09:13] Speaker A: Maybe she. I don't know.
[00:09:14] Speaker B: Maybe she and Deaf Barbie went to school together, and so she learned tasl and Deaf Barbie learned Braille with her, and, like, they were best buddies.
[00:09:21] Speaker A: Do you realize you're making Barbie Fenfek? Right.
[00:09:24] Speaker B: Okay, so Mr.
[00:09:26] Speaker A: Potato heading history.
Let's. Let's start with.
So I thought that Mr. Potato Head was created or distributed because it was actually created by a guy whose last name I can't remember was, like, George somebody. And it was created originally in 1949 and sold by Hasbro. They started selling it in 1953. Now, the original Mr. Potato Head was a little different from the one that we know today because it literally was a bunch of felt pieces that may have had toothpicks or may have had, like, something. I don't think they were pans, but toys in the 50s were dangerous. So.
[00:10:07] Speaker B: Yeah, lead paint was delicious or something.
[00:10:09] Speaker A: Well, and they were selling, like, chemistry sets and stuff. So, like, they didn't really think about what's actually safe.
[00:10:14] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:10:15] Speaker A: Great video. We watched once of, like, 25 band toys. And, like, a lot of them were old.
[00:10:20] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:10:21] Speaker A: I think one of them was, like, radioactive or something. I don't know. There was something but anyways, so the original Mr. Potato Head was a bunch of pieces that you put on a potato.
[00:10:34] Speaker B: What could possibly go wrong?
[00:10:36] Speaker A: See anything wrong with using a potato?
[00:10:38] Speaker B: A real potato like that, you would grow out of the ground.
[00:10:41] Speaker A: I was about to say a real living, breathing potato, but that's not really.
But yeah, so a real potato. And yeah, there were. There were problems. What. What do potatoes do?
[00:10:53] Speaker B: They rot and they stink too high heavy when they do.
[00:10:57] Speaker A: So, yeah, Mr. Potato Head was definitely had a bad
[00:11:00] Speaker B: Walmart experience at that one time. Immediately picked up the bag, went, what's that smell? And yeah, rotten potatoes. So they all just got bin. Because that's what you do.
[00:11:10] Speaker A: So they released Mr. Potato Head. People complain and were like, hey, let's not do this. And so they decided to transition to a plastic potato body that we all know and love.
[00:11:25] Speaker B: Yeah, a lot of us had this as kids.
[00:11:27] Speaker A: I did.
[00:11:27] Speaker B: I'm pretty sure I had it in, like, daycare or preschool or something and, like, couldn't stop talking about it. And so both my mom and dad, because they had split up by the time I was probably about two, maybe even a little bit younger yet.
So I got Mr. Potato Heads at both houses.
[00:11:45] Speaker A: So there are a couple changes that Mr. Potato Head went through. So you had Mr. Potato Head, then you had Mrs. Potato Head, then you had a boy and girl baby potato. They were. Was it like sister spud and something? I.
I don't.
Something like that. I can't.
[00:12:02] Speaker B: Is that like sister sludge?
[00:12:05] Speaker A: Sort of. But we're not family or something.
[00:12:09] Speaker B: Well, they are. They're the potato family.
[00:12:11] Speaker A: Yeah, we are potato family.
So you had that. Right. And then the only other. Oh, then they had vehicles.
So I think they had like a car and a boat and stuff.
[00:12:26] Speaker B: Man, I missed out on some of that. Like, I think I had a Mr. And a Mrs. But I did not have the kids. And that was kind of where I went. Wait a minute. There was a baby one. That's adorbs. I want it. That's what got me on.
[00:12:38] Speaker A: Yeah, Baby. Baby potato. One of my favorite things was there was only one real change made to Mr. Potato Head. And if you're old enough to remember this, at one point, Mr. Potato Head came with a pipe, and so he. He could smoke his pipe.
[00:12:54] Speaker B: And that was kind of normal at
[00:12:56] Speaker A: that point, 1987, they removed the pipe. And so I have actually seen 80s potato heads that had the pipe and didn't think anything of it.
[00:13:07] Speaker B: Yeah, it was always like, you'd watch things like little house on the prairie. And Pa had his pipe. Like, that was just.
That was a thing. Good, bad, indifferent. That's the way it was.
[00:13:16] Speaker A: So the other thing that they started doing when Toy Story came out in 19. 1995. I better have that year. Right. Because I love that movie.
They actually made.
[00:13:26] Speaker B: Mute your speakers, guys, because I'm about to ask it your smart speakers. Alexa, what year is the original Toy Story movie released
[00:13:37] Speaker A: on November 22, 1995.
[00:13:39] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:13:40] Speaker A: Oh, I was.
What I thought.
But, yeah, so it was released, and they had actually done Mr. Potato Head up a little bit differently.
They kind of changed, like, his mouth and other stuff. So they started releasing, like, themed potato heads. So they had a Toy Story Potato Head.
[00:13:59] Speaker B: And that's probably how I. I mean, I was born in 95. So within a couple years of that, you had Toy Story and probably a second Toy Story. So that's probably how it came back into popularity.
[00:14:10] Speaker A: And so that really kind of catapulted them back into popularity. So they made Toy Story ones, and then in the early 2000s, Hasbro started making other themed ones. So they would make them based on their other properties.
So Darth Spud was very popular.
They did a Spud Lightyear for Buzz Lightyear from Toy Story.
[00:14:27] Speaker B: Darth Tater and.
[00:14:28] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, Darth Tater. Darth Spud. Yeah, Darth Tater.
I would love to get a hold of one of those, because I like Star Wars.
[00:14:35] Speaker B: But, yeah, we might be visiting ebay and trying not to go crazy on buying toys to collect.
[00:14:43] Speaker A: We'll try not to. No promises.
[00:14:45] Speaker B: Yeah. Occasionally we do find cool finds such as that. Well, you actually originally decided to grab
[00:14:51] Speaker A: the Blind Barbie right.
[00:14:53] Speaker B: From Amazon. And then I had looked to see about Death Barbie.
[00:15:01] Speaker A: That came later, but I lost my copy of it. But I think I had gotten Screwball Scramble from ebay, which is a really cool. If you're in the uk, you may know this game. I think Tomy made it, but it was a really neat. It was like a marble racing game, and you had to move the marble through, like, eight obstacles in 60 seconds.
[00:15:19] Speaker B: Oh, wow.
[00:15:20] Speaker A: And it was really kind of neat and.
Okay. I think that post is dead. I think you've killed it.
I don't think it has feelings anymore.
I want to go out there and ask them what they're making.
[00:15:35] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:15:35] Speaker A: It was like they're working really hard on it.
[00:15:39] Speaker B: They sure are.
[00:15:40] Speaker A: So I have a Mr. Potato Head. So what I thought we'd do is unbox each one.
[00:15:45] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. And then we got the Potato Head. Family, which was, you know, later they rebranded to Potato Head.
[00:15:50] Speaker A: Potato Head. So we have three.
[00:15:52] Speaker B: We ended up with the three.
[00:15:52] Speaker A: So I want to start with Mr. Potato.
[00:15:54] Speaker B: Yeah, I figured that's what we do, since that's the og.
[00:15:57] Speaker A: Yep.
So we'll start with the OG Potato Head.
[00:16:00] Speaker B: And there have been some other ones. Like, there was plush ones.
[00:16:03] Speaker A: This is very different.
[00:16:07] Speaker B: Really?
[00:16:07] Speaker A: Yeah. These are very different from what I remember from growing up.
So I'm gonna get the.
I'll get the parts out.
[00:16:18] Speaker B: Or are they not in the potato?
[00:16:22] Speaker A: No, they. They don't do that also.
Yeah, they changed.
Yeah. This is very different from when I was a kid.
[00:16:32] Speaker B: So another fun fact about the description. And I'll just say the jokes write themselves when at the descriptions on Amazon for these potato heads of any variety, they refer to them because one of the features of Mr. Potato Head is he has, like, a back hatch where you can put all the parts that you're not using.
[00:16:52] Speaker A: Has a name now.
[00:16:53] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:16:54] Speaker A: That is his Tater Tush.
And I don't know what to do with that.
In fact, I'm trying to get the Tater Push together.
Yeah. They really.
[00:17:09] Speaker B: How would you say it's different?
[00:17:12] Speaker A: I'm trying to think how to describe.
Feels chintzier.
I also think probably is.
I can't get his tush on.
I also think this. They made him smaller.
[00:17:32] Speaker B: We were talking about that when we were looking at the packages. Like, is it. You know, because our hands were smaller? They've changed his texture. I feel like he used to be rough.
[00:17:42] Speaker A: Texture is very different.
[00:17:44] Speaker B: He used to, like, have a little more rough face on.
[00:17:49] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. They. They definitely changed.
[00:17:53] Speaker B: Huh?
Oh, I was just closing the hatch now.
[00:18:00] Speaker A: Here's his hat.
[00:18:04] Speaker B: It looks like a fireman hat.
[00:18:06] Speaker A: It's a very different hat.
And I don't ever remember his hat having a peg on it. You just put it on top of his head.
[00:18:16] Speaker B: I feel like I remember there being a peg.
[00:18:18] Speaker A: Yeah. See the OGs. I might have to try to find, like, an 80s or.
[00:18:23] Speaker B: Yeah. And we'll do, like, a comparison. That hinge sounds scary. I don't think it is, but.
[00:18:29] Speaker A: So there's this nose.
[00:18:31] Speaker B: What's interesting, too, is, like, I. I can't figure out which way.
Oh, it goes on like that. I was like, wait, the hat is.
Because it's. He's got, like, a bigger.
[00:18:46] Speaker A: Yeah.
And so you can move the hat. Or maybe you could put his.
I don't. Okay.
[00:18:53] Speaker B: So I guess you can. You can.
[00:18:55] Speaker A: The other major difference that I'm Going to show you. I just put his bottom together, and originally he had a one piece.
[00:19:03] Speaker B: Yeah, he had a one piece set of feet. And that was like, his shoes. Yeah, his feet. And now it's. Yeah, I see where you could actually pull the feet off of there.
[00:19:12] Speaker A: Yeah.
Would you put his eye? I don't know why they do that.
I wonder if it's for more combinations of.
[00:19:21] Speaker B: If you have, like, other.
[00:19:23] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:19:23] Speaker B: Pieces and maybe you want to guess.
[00:19:26] Speaker A: It doesn't have a lot of stuff, so.
Oh, here's.
[00:19:33] Speaker B: Might be mixing and matching from the.
[00:19:36] Speaker A: Maybe. I mean, I'm okay with how he is, but. Yeah. It's got all his ears.
All right, here's his ear.
And to me, his ear is very different.
[00:19:49] Speaker B: Yeah, there's like, the ear is open in the back, and I don't think it was.
[00:19:54] Speaker A: No, he had very different ears. They were more flatter.
So here's.
[00:19:58] Speaker B: Right. He's got one ear, one hat.
[00:20:01] Speaker A: All right, here's his other ear.
[00:20:06] Speaker B: Hey, maybe we could do a copycat of the chocolate bunnies.
[00:20:10] Speaker A: Here's his hands.
Sure. This is real scintillating radio.
[00:20:17] Speaker B: But. Yeah, he's handing me the pieces. I'm attaching them to the potato. See, I feel like these even attach, like the. I can't tell if it's. The holes are deeper.
[00:20:32] Speaker A: I will say they're plastic. They're not rubber or like. Yeah, they used to be this. More rubbery plastic. Yeah.
[00:20:37] Speaker B: Like, there was kind of some give.
[00:20:39] Speaker A: They were kind of fun to chew on.
[00:20:41] Speaker B: That's probably why they changed it.
[00:20:42] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. They knew I would want to chew on it.
[00:20:45] Speaker B: Well, they probably had kids chewing on them, and it was like a choking hazard and stuff. So they had to, like, here. Is everything safe?
All right.
[00:20:59] Speaker A: I actually like what they did with his mustache a lot.
Oh, but he doesn't have glasses.
[00:21:05] Speaker B: Oh, no.
[00:21:06] Speaker A: The heck are his freaking glasses?
[00:21:09] Speaker B: They skipped on the glasses.
[00:21:11] Speaker A: Yeah.
Oh, I put it backwards.
I was.
I'm putting his. So I'll show you when I hand it to you. They did his mustache kind of cool. So here's his mustache and mouth. The mustache actually can sit on the peg.
[00:21:28] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. That was not a thing before.
[00:21:30] Speaker A: No, it just kind of sat there.
[00:21:32] Speaker B: You were always kind of fighting with it.
[00:21:33] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:21:34] Speaker B: And the way that you attach the mouth is different now because I feel like it used to just have the same kind of spot that you put the.
Wait a second. Where does the nose go?
Does he not have a nose?
[00:21:45] Speaker A: Yeah, he's got a nose.
[00:21:46] Speaker B: Oh, he does. It's like, you gotta, like.
Oh, you gotta put that in first before you do the mustache, I think.
[00:21:56] Speaker A: Oh, okay.
[00:21:56] Speaker B: To get it to sit correctly.
Let's see here.
[00:22:03] Speaker A: Yeah, they don't make Mr. Potato heads like they used to. I definitely like the old.
The old ones better.
[00:22:13] Speaker B: Yeah, it's definitely different.
Wow. And it feels like his mustache is, like, in his.
Going into his pants or something here.
[00:22:32] Speaker A: Do. Do you need help putting a Mr. Potato Head together?
[00:22:36] Speaker B: No, but look at this.
It's like.
[00:22:43] Speaker A: Well, you. You have it backwards.
[00:22:44] Speaker B: I have it backwards?
[00:22:45] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:22:46] Speaker B: Oh, is that. I thought the skinny part was. I thought the skinny part was the top and, like, the fat part was the bottom.
[00:22:52] Speaker A: No. No.
[00:22:53] Speaker B: So apparently, yes, I do need help putting a Mr. Potato Head together.
[00:22:57] Speaker A: Clearly.
Yeah, no, that's. That's not how I.
Hold on.
I will show you.
Because I.
[00:23:07] Speaker B: It's been many years. Okay.
[00:23:08] Speaker A: I have a mustache, so I know how a mustache goes.
Yeah. See, the problem is, they did not make this.
[00:23:21] Speaker B: Yeah. They made his body more squat, I think, than what he used to be.
[00:23:31] Speaker A: Well, and like, all the toys now, they. They don't mold them correctly.
[00:23:36] Speaker B: No, they 3D print everything.
[00:23:42] Speaker A: Yeah. So I didn't put his mustache on.
Hold on. I'm gonna put his.
[00:23:47] Speaker B: Doesn't quite fit right.
[00:23:48] Speaker A: Oh. Oh, no, wait, that won't work.
I thought I could have.
Oh, you can't open his little tater tushy with his hat on.
Like. Yeah, they. They made him smaller.
[00:24:05] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:24:07] Speaker A: Oh, you can sort of. You could just kind of get in there. So. Yeah, here he is with. With no mustache.
Because the mustache just doesn't.
[00:24:18] Speaker B: Yeah. So I did have him mostly right. Just.
[00:24:20] Speaker A: He has mouth upside down.
[00:24:22] Speaker B: Whoops.
[00:24:23] Speaker A: Because the mouth turns up.
[00:24:25] Speaker B: Yeah, I thought I. But I think the mustache was throwing me for a load.
But yeah, it's like, if you put that on his. It, like, covers up his nose.
[00:24:40] Speaker A: Yep.
[00:24:42] Speaker B: I see. I see.
Yeah.
[00:24:45] Speaker A: So there's Mr. Potato Head.
[00:24:48] Speaker B: Yeah. I. I do think they made the plastic potato smaller than it used to be.
[00:24:52] Speaker A: They changed out.
It's. It's way smaller, and they used to. The piece used to be more rubber.
[00:24:59] Speaker B: Yeah. There was a little bit of give when you would put one of these together, and that was kind of part of the fun of it.
[00:25:05] Speaker A: So we're gonna take. Each of these is gonna go in our office.
So, like, I'll take Mr. Potato Head, you'll take Mrs. Potato Head, which you can guess. You'll start unboxing.
[00:25:18] Speaker B: Yep. Just.
[00:25:20] Speaker A: I don't like his hat.
[00:25:25] Speaker B: Just as soon as I get my finger down under this little piece of tape up here.
This is real exciting stuff here.
I think I almost got it. If I don't get it in the next few seconds, I will.
I will guide it over to you too.
There we go.
There we have it.
Okay, so see what we got here.
Looking at.
Just gonna, like, knock all the accessories out of here to get perfect out of the bottom.
Oh, thank you. Washer.
[00:26:23] Speaker A: The washer's bad because I.
It was. It was. It probably wants a cycle then.
[00:26:31] Speaker B: Yeah, it wants the clean cycle thing.
[00:26:34] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:26:37] Speaker B: Oh, yeah, I see what you mean with like, you know, her little shoes are separated from her.
[00:26:46] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:26:47] Speaker B: They definitely have made some.
Some changes on this. It's.
I mean, it's still fun for the nostalgia factor, but it's like, man, this is not what I remember having when we were kids.
[00:27:02] Speaker A: No, these were not as. And the. The little things are so tight now to get in.
Like, I remember having a Mr. Potato Head and things just kind of slotted in.
[00:27:17] Speaker B: I felt like some of them were kind of loose.
[00:27:21] Speaker A: Oh, gosh. No, I can barely.
All right. Oh. Or does the mustache feel like a goatee?
[00:27:33] Speaker B: Trying to.
[00:27:34] Speaker A: Maybe not. Yeah, the.
[00:27:37] Speaker B: The little back here is like, how did you get that on?
Yeah, I see the little pins, I think, where that's supposed to slot. So. Yeah, here comes the exciting part where we're just trying to figure out how to piece these together.
Does it go.
[00:28:13] Speaker A: I just got him figured out.
[00:28:15] Speaker B: Oh, yeah.
[00:28:16] Speaker A: All right, here's Mr. Potato Head.
[00:28:19] Speaker B: I'm trying to get the back in here.
[00:28:21] Speaker A: I'll get the. I'll get the back for you here. Yeah, check. Check out his mustache.
[00:28:26] Speaker B: Here's the back.
[00:28:27] Speaker A: Got it.
I had. That was. A two year old is not going to figure that out.
[00:28:32] Speaker B: No, that's going to be the kid going, mom, dad put this together.
[00:28:38] Speaker A: They did make one change, though, which is now the back has a spot for something. So if you want to put like the nose on his back, you can do that.
[00:28:47] Speaker B: Yeah, we know what the purpose of the back spot actually is if it is supposed to do something.
[00:28:55] Speaker A: Because it gives you another point to get creative. Because you couldn't do that originally.
No, that was not a thing that you could do.
Hold on, I'll get this. This is just being persnickety as it does.
[00:29:22] Speaker B: Okay, I'm going to use all the pieces here. Okay. Here's her bottom piece.
[00:29:34] Speaker A: Here we go.
[00:29:35] Speaker B: Foot goes there.
Oh, wow. She's got like a fun.
I guess it's A. I guess it's supposed to be her hair maybe.
[00:29:46] Speaker A: Probably.
[00:29:54] Speaker B: Oh, yeah, she's supposed to have.
Oh, I see. Yeah, she's supposed to have, like, pigtails or something.
[00:30:01] Speaker A: He has. I like that. He's got one arm and a fist and the other one. Hands are all splayed up. The original didn't do that. It was just one.
[00:30:10] Speaker B: One position on the hand.
[00:30:12] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:30:13] Speaker B: But.
[00:30:14] Speaker A: Yeah. So here we go. So I got Mr. Potato Head. He's all good. I'm straightening all his parts out because I'm weird like that.
Oh, great. I left it at home.
[00:30:31] Speaker B: And that is how this all started.
[00:30:34] Speaker A: I had to. Or two, that he was voiced by Don Oracles.
Oh, you could turn his feet.
[00:30:41] Speaker B: Yeah, you can.
[00:30:41] Speaker A: Oh, I just. I can make them all, like, funny footed. He can have, like.
[00:30:47] Speaker B: So I guess there is one positive of the feet being attached in the way that they are.
[00:30:52] Speaker A: Yeah. Oh, so I could take. I can pull his arms out and then I can do that.
And then I can do that while he screams.
[00:31:09] Speaker B: So, okay, I think the bottom's supposed to go the other way. But if you turn it this way, it kind of looks like she's squatting.
Check this out.
[00:31:21] Speaker A: Hold on. I'm almost done.
Here you go. Here's. Here's mine.
[00:31:26] Speaker B: I haven't got most of her pieces on yet. I was attaching the bottom. Yeah, it kind of looks like she's switching squatting.
[00:31:31] Speaker A: Check out my.
[00:31:31] Speaker B: Mr. Bottom is supposed to go the other way.
Let's see.
His feet are where his hands are supposed to go and vice versa.
He's doing a handstand.
So that's why they made the feet detachable.
Yeah.
There you go.
[00:31:59] Speaker A: I fixed your Mrs. Potato Head here.
[00:32:02] Speaker B: I did a slight modification on Mr. Potato Head here.
[00:32:08] Speaker A: Where's his other arm?
[00:32:10] Speaker B: Check the back.
[00:32:11] Speaker A: Oh,
[00:32:15] Speaker B: this is why we can't have nice things.
This is why we can't have nice things. And I think this is how her tell which way her cap is supposed to go on. I guess that's right. It's got, like the.
[00:32:28] Speaker A: You're probably good.
I couldn't really tell either.
[00:32:34] Speaker B: Yeah, I guess you'd kind of put the.
See how it almost looks like it's supposed to be pigtails, but then there's a this, like, little hump in the middle that throws me off.
[00:32:44] Speaker A: Yeah, I don't. I don't know. I'm not sure.
[00:32:46] Speaker B: Maybe part of that's supposed to be.
Oh, I think they gave her bangs.
[00:32:51] Speaker A: Oh,
[00:32:54] Speaker B: and so that goes in the front. And then the little, like, not little poofy, not like Professor McGonagall knot sits on the top is what I think.
[00:33:02] Speaker A: Oh, and I think his we have going on maybe not.
Oh, no. I actually think the hands are kind of supposed to go a certain way.
So I think the fist goes on the right side and then I think his open hand goes on the left because the thumb points up.
Oh, yeah, there you go. Yeah. I was one of those kids that, like, didn't want to mess with Mr. Potato Head. Like, I wanted to build them the way it was supposed to be.
[00:33:34] Speaker B: Yeah, I was always like, where does this. Except apparently I always like to put the mouth on upside down so it looked like he was frowning.
[00:33:42] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:33:48] Speaker B: Okay. Is that how that arm goes? I believe so.
[00:33:51] Speaker A: Yeah. I just can't believe you don't have classes.
[00:33:54] Speaker B: I know. It's lucky.
[00:33:55] Speaker A: What a rip off.
[00:33:57] Speaker B: Yeah, my. My brother had a Thomas the Tank Engine train table. And Yeah, I wanted to build it right. And do like cool train tracks and stuff. Keep in mind at this point point, like, I'm eight.
I'm. I'm nine. He's like turning one.
And maybe I was 10, he was turning two. Either way, it was like, I love this thing. I thought it was so cool. And he was always destroying it.
Oh, I think she's got little brows. Those go up here.
Unless that's supposed to be.
Supposed to be eyelashes.
I can't tell.
Yeah, maybe so. Because otherwise they, like, go way. Oh, no, it's got to go the other way otherwise the bangs get in the way. Okay, I see. So it's supposed to be like her pretty little eyebrows. I suppose so.
[00:34:55] Speaker A: Yeah. This is what we do for fun.
[00:34:56] Speaker B: Better. I'm doing this wrong. I guess we'll find out soon enough.
And let's see.
Gotta find one last arm and a mouth also. Maybe this will change over time. But they kind of smell funny.
[00:35:15] Speaker A: This one smells. Okay,
[00:35:21] Speaker B: Let's see. Is there something from the back? No.
What?
[00:35:27] Speaker A: I'll tell you when we stop recording.
[00:35:29] Speaker B: Are you sniffing the potato?
[00:35:30] Speaker A: No, I just. I have an inappropriate comment.
[00:35:34] Speaker B: Oh, boy.
[00:35:35] Speaker A: Yeah, so I'll make it when we're not recording. I mean, I never make inappropriate comments.
[00:35:40] Speaker B: Oh, never.
[00:35:43] Speaker A: Oh, I just put his nose and his mustache on his back, so now he can smell what's behind him.
[00:35:52] Speaker B: He can smell the farts.
[00:35:55] Speaker A: Yeah, I wasn't gonna say that. But you said it so I didn't have to.
[00:36:05] Speaker B: Yeah. So her arms are the same way. Like one of them's kind of in a fist. And the other one's like. She's got her hand out.
[00:36:11] Speaker A: Yep.
So I did the same thing with those to.
[00:36:17] Speaker B: Okay, so that is.
Yeah, I think that goes.
Because that's her thumb. So that one goes on the left.
[00:36:25] Speaker A: I put the fist on the right. Yeah. So it might be.
[00:36:28] Speaker B: Yeah, I think.
Well, if you're. If it's.
If you're looking at it, it's on the right.
[00:36:34] Speaker A: So does she come with the purse?
[00:36:37] Speaker B: I don't see a purse.
[00:36:38] Speaker A: There's no purse.
[00:36:39] Speaker B: No purse. And there was no glasses. I'm sad.
[00:36:42] Speaker A: I bet you the big ones got.
[00:36:47] Speaker B: So here is Misera's Potato Head.
[00:36:51] Speaker A: Okay. Yeah.
Yeah. I cannot tell with her, like, what. I'm assuming that. Yeah. That those are the bangs.
And then.
[00:37:09] Speaker B: And then, like, her little eyebrows are in there, too. It's like. Unless those are supposed to be lashes, but when I tried to turn the eyes around.
[00:37:17] Speaker A: No, those are the brow. I wonder.
[00:37:18] Speaker B: Maybe they are supposed to be lashes.
[00:37:22] Speaker A: I don't think so because, like, I think they're brows.
[00:37:27] Speaker B: The way they stick up would lead one to think.
[00:37:32] Speaker A: Now I just flipped the hat around, went out.
I don't know.
[00:37:41] Speaker B: H.
[00:37:46] Speaker A: I. No, I don't think they're. I think they're brows because I just tried to turn the eyes around and they just. They stick out funny.
[00:37:54] Speaker B: Yeah, that's what I noticed. They say we could also stick. Be my AI on it. I've got my phone.
If we're overly concerned.
[00:38:03] Speaker A: So what I ended up doing here. Let me show you what I did.
I ended up turning her hat around.
And now you can see the brows.
[00:38:11] Speaker B: Yeah. So maybe that.
[00:38:14] Speaker A: I think those are the. I think those are, like, almost like braids or like pigtails.
[00:38:18] Speaker B: Yeah, it's got, like, a knot in the middle. So it's. Yeah, it's supposed to be. I think I get it. It's supposed to be, like, a knit cap, but then her hair sticks out the back.
[00:38:28] Speaker A: Yeah, I think so.
[00:38:31] Speaker B: That would be.
[00:38:32] Speaker A: I just can't believe she doesn't have a purse.
[00:38:35] Speaker B: Yeah, that's.
That's so sad.
[00:38:38] Speaker A: Yep.
[00:38:38] Speaker B: But, yeah, she is all set to go for my office. And. Yeah, she's got, like, a little skirt.
And. Yeah, if you turn the feet around or if you turn the skirt around, it looks like she's squatting, so.
And now for big one.
[00:38:53] Speaker A: Oh, my goodness.
[00:38:54] Speaker B: Oh, my goodness. Look at all this stuff we have here.
Wow.
[00:39:02] Speaker A: I don't even know what.
[00:39:03] Speaker B: Oh, my goodness.
I'm looking at all of the.
What is this supposed to Be. Oh, I think I found. Is that. Is that. No, it's not glasses.
What is that?
[00:39:20] Speaker A: That looks like a part of an apple fritter that I want to eat.
[00:39:28] Speaker B: I don't think you're supposed to eat it.
[00:39:30] Speaker A: Okay.
There you're seeing a lot of random accessories.
[00:39:35] Speaker B: This looks like a headset with a microphone on it.
[00:39:38] Speaker A: That's exactly what it is.
[00:39:40] Speaker B: So here is baby potato.
[00:39:42] Speaker A: Oh, baby potato.
[00:39:44] Speaker B: It's so cute.
[00:39:46] Speaker A: Oh, my gosh.
[00:39:47] Speaker B: It's a little bitty tiny, but, yeah, you have the usual accessories. So I'm seeing, like, ears and feet and eyeballs.
[00:39:59] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:40:00] Speaker B: And then.
Yeah, there's like, a headset with a little microphone sticking out. Here's this.
Yeah, I found glasses.
[00:40:12] Speaker A: Baby can't wear it.
[00:40:14] Speaker B: I found some glasses for you.
[00:40:16] Speaker A: Okay, so we got glasses. Yup.
Oh, yeah. Yeah. I don't. I don't know how many accessories little baby's gonna have, but I think it's got both boy and girl accessories.
[00:40:27] Speaker B: Yeah, probably does. And then, like.
Yeah, there's some big.
Ooh, Some of these hair ones look cool.
[00:40:38] Speaker A: I see ears.
[00:40:39] Speaker B: Oh, my gosh.
Look at the big old ponytail.
[00:40:45] Speaker A: Oh, hold on. I'm pulling an ear out of someone's butt.
[00:40:52] Speaker B: That is styling.
[00:40:55] Speaker A: Now, the problem is gonna be figuring out which one's, like, lady potato.
[00:41:01] Speaker B: I don't think it matters. I think that's why they're just potato head.
[00:41:04] Speaker A: Oh.
[00:41:06] Speaker B: Because remember, it's like, you can make it anything you want to make it.
So they're. They just give you a bunch of everything, and then you just build what you want. Choose your own adventure.
[00:41:19] Speaker A: Yeah, but with potatoes.
[00:41:22] Speaker B: Choose your own spotacular adventure.
Oh, this supposed to be.
Yeah, so I'm looking for backs. Yeah, same. Realize we didn't, like, go into a great deal of description on this. So it's like a giant box of.
You have your three potato bodies, you have your two adults and a baby, and then. Yeah, it is just loaded up with fun accessories.
[00:41:56] Speaker A: Frankenstein would be very happy.
[00:41:58] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:42:00] Speaker A: All right, here's one bag.
[00:42:03] Speaker B: Like, you've got all different sorts of wigs and ears, and you can, like, put headsets on them. So I guess they. They really tried to modernize for.
[00:42:18] Speaker A: Yeah, these are the very modern. So you get to pick, like.
[00:42:24] Speaker B: Oh, I found the other back.
[00:42:26] Speaker A: Okay.
I'm in the process of.
[00:42:35] Speaker B: And, yeah, only the adult ones have a back. The baby.
[00:42:38] Speaker A: Yeah, Baby doesn't have a keister.
[00:42:40] Speaker B: Baby don't have back.
[00:42:43] Speaker A: The. What are the tater tush. The tater tush.
[00:42:49] Speaker B: I was like, baby got back. But in this case, no, baby don't got back.
[00:42:53] Speaker A: No, baby. Baby don't cut back.
[00:42:59] Speaker B: Yeah, sorry, baby.
[00:43:00] Speaker A: You know, putting these things on is
[00:43:02] Speaker B: not the, not the fun.
[00:43:04] Speaker A: And I'm pretty sure that the originals came pre to.
[00:43:08] Speaker B: Yes. It was just on a hinge. You didn't have to assemble that part yourself, to my knowledge.
And again, like they say, this is for 2 and 3 year olds. I can't name one that's going to have the patience back on. Yes, I'm struggling as a 30 year old.
[00:43:33] Speaker A: Didn't PJ say something about like, dexterity not being until later in the developmental process or something?
[00:43:41] Speaker B: Probably. I forgot most of that stuff after I learned it because again, I was working with adults. Oh, I got it.
[00:43:49] Speaker A: I found it really interesting.
[00:43:50] Speaker B: I got it.
[00:43:53] Speaker A: Oh, yeah,
[00:43:57] Speaker B: kind of. Well, I figured it out once, but then I'd be like trying to do it again and it won't happen.
[00:44:02] Speaker A: I mean, I got it twice. I just can't get it thrice.
[00:44:05] Speaker B: Now what? I don't know.
And we may need to.
I guess you can kind of tell, I think like the different feet if they, you know, if you want ones that match.
But they do have some little tactile markings. Like, ooh, these ones have little stars on them.
Oh, yeah, this.
And then there was one that's got like a.
[00:44:32] Speaker A: Got it.
[00:44:33] Speaker B: Stripey stripe.
So, yeah, now, now is the fun of dressing them. And I wonder if this other thing was supposed to be like a tiara because it's like covered in flowers. Oh, maybe. Or a headband because it doesn't look like it attaches. It looks like it just goes over the hair.
Yeah. Hopefully this hasn't dragged on too long and bored anyone to tears.
Oh, here's like a hard hat.
Oh. Or maybe it's supposed to be like a. I guess it's more like a sport cap.
[00:45:13] Speaker A: I got. I got the mines wearing the headset.
[00:45:17] Speaker B: Nice.
[00:45:19] Speaker A: It's. It's remote work. Potato Head.
[00:45:24] Speaker B: That is one that we know all too well. Let's see. Mine's gonna wear the funky ponytail because it's cool.
[00:45:33] Speaker A: I gotta put some eyes in mine.
[00:45:36] Speaker B: I. I still want to send pictures of these to, like, the people at work that could see it and go, this is what we do for fun.
[00:45:45] Speaker A: Oh, I think I have lady eyes. I don't know. These are. These have brows. They may not be lady eyes, but
[00:45:51] Speaker B: they can be any eyes you want them. That's true. Because these are like, these are Potato Head. They are not Mr. Or Mrs. And you know what?
[00:45:58] Speaker A: I'm okay with that.
Some people are like, oh, my gosh.
[00:46:03] Speaker B: I guess these are supposed to be eyes. They also have a weird. Like, it's not brows. There's just like a dot above them. I don't know what that's supposed to be.
[00:46:10] Speaker A: I don't. What is that?
[00:46:13] Speaker B: I'm not sure.
[00:46:15] Speaker A: Well, there's a set of eyes. Yeah.
[00:46:19] Speaker B: Oh, here's like a fun little.
This little hat with ears sticking out the sides. Look at this.
[00:46:26] Speaker A: Let me see.
[00:46:29] Speaker B: Supposed to be, like bunny ears or something.
[00:46:31] Speaker A: Oh, maybe it's cute.
[00:46:35] Speaker B: Now I found a regular looking set of ears. Now what I don't know is, like, what the colors of these are, if these even sort of match, or if we're just gonna have like some very fashion forward potato heads that don't really give a hoot what anybody else thinks.
[00:46:52] Speaker A: Could be.
Yeah, I don't know.
[00:46:58] Speaker B: I can't get this.
I wonder if you're supposed to put a hat on first and then put this, like, wig thing on this ponytail because it won't.
Or is it supposed to go maybe further up because it doesn't seem like it wants to stay on.
I guess that kind of worked. Either that or I broke it.
[00:47:26] Speaker A: One of the two.
[00:47:30] Speaker B: It was under $20 for the 40 something accessory piece set, so.
And I remember looking at the price on that and going, wow, they charge a lot just for the accessories. I don't care. I'm getting it anyway. And then, yeah, Liam checks it and goes, you're getting three potato heads.
[00:47:54] Speaker A: I like that the tiny potato head has huge arms.
I'm like, messing with the baby potato head.
[00:48:01] Speaker B: Yep. Oh, I found a mouth.
And I put it correctly. So it's smiling.
And let's see.
Yeah, I'm sure these are all colored.
Fun and stuff too.
We don't see that.
All right, put your pants on, potato head. We're going home.
Got a bottom on it.
See?
What kind of little shoes do I want?
I'll do the star one as long as I can find the other one.
Yeah, it's. It's cool because these are just whatever you want them to be and you have hours of entertainment and the different pieces that you can put on them.
[00:49:20] Speaker A: I wonder if for the babies, they go together a certain way because, like, I don't have an eye hole for my baby spud.
[00:49:28] Speaker B: Oh, Yeah. It's like, is there a missing piece? Did I. Oh, I wonder if this thing was supposed to go on the baby and that's why? It doesn't look right on mama. Potato Head or whatever. Potato Head this is. Oh, that's seems kind of big for the baby, but it's got, like.
It's one of the smaller headpieces, I
[00:49:57] Speaker A: think that is way too big for the baby. What is that?
Looks like a horrible hair.
Oh, unless it goes. Oh, wait a minute.
Does it go like that?
[00:50:13] Speaker B: I wonder. Remember when I was like, there's a weird thing on that eyes. I wonder if that was, like, eyes and nose for the baby one.
Oh, maybe.
[00:50:26] Speaker A: Yeah, could be.
[00:50:30] Speaker B: I. I hope this is entertaining.
[00:50:32] Speaker A: Hope you guys are enjoying this.
[00:50:37] Speaker B: Is.
It is kind of.
[00:50:39] Speaker A: Yeah. You called it.
[00:50:41] Speaker B: Yeah. Here's the eyes and nose for the baby.
[00:50:43] Speaker A: I think that's another set. I think.
Oh, yeah, they're. They're two different sets.
[00:50:48] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:50:52] Speaker A: I just need a. I need a baby mouth, and I gotta figure out feet for it.
Oh, here's more eyes.
I don't understand why they put the eyes in tissue paper.
[00:51:07] Speaker B: Yeah. Of all the things it's like, that's the one they decided had to be in tissue.
I don't understand.
All right, I need some eyes for this one.
What's that? That's another mouth.
I don't know if baby one has, like, some smaller accessories or if it's all just the same.
[00:51:51] Speaker A: The baby has one shoe on because. I don't know, I need a bottom piece for it. So it's just like sitting on one shoe.
Oh, it's got. I see. It's a little tiny button nose.
[00:52:06] Speaker B: A.
[00:52:07] Speaker A: It's got huge, huge, stupid eyes. That's amazing.
[00:52:11] Speaker B: The eyes are bugging out. Here's a bottom. I don't know if that's the right size for the baby.
[00:52:17] Speaker A: Oh, that's really big.
Let me see.
[00:52:21] Speaker B: I don't know if they're all the same size.
[00:52:24] Speaker A: No, they gotta have a small one.
Holy. Yeah, they gotta have a small one for the baby.
You know what? I'll use this one.
[00:52:31] Speaker B: Oh. Oh, here it is.
[00:52:33] Speaker A: You found it.
[00:52:34] Speaker B: Yep.
[00:52:36] Speaker A: Perfect. Oh, yeah, that'll do it. Oh, and I think. Oh, those are his feet. So you don't put shoes on it.
[00:52:42] Speaker B: No shoes for baby.
[00:52:43] Speaker A: All right. Oh, I need a mouth.
I just need a mouth.
Oh, here's a mouth. Got a mouth.
[00:53:01] Speaker B: All right.
[00:53:08] Speaker A: Will this work?
Please work, Please. Please do what I want you to do.
Please.
[00:53:16] Speaker B: Are you trying to make it do something silly?
[00:53:19] Speaker A: Yeah.
Oh, it's sorta so.
[00:53:29] Speaker B: Interestingly, the hats and heads for these have holes in the top. So I guess you could, like, do Something like, I don't know, put a nose in the top of its head.
Or maybe that's. Oh, that's where you'd put like the virtual headset thing.
[00:53:52] Speaker A: The hats.
[00:53:55] Speaker B: Yeah. So, like, where's your, where's your big guy at with the headset?
[00:54:00] Speaker A: Oh, I have to find it again. Hold on. Put this nose in.
There we go.
I'm gonna put this back. Hold on. Where'd the box go?
[00:54:10] Speaker B: It's right there.
[00:54:10] Speaker A: Okay, so let me. What's the hat that you're talking about?
[00:54:13] Speaker B: So they, they all have.
So like, here's a hat, for instance. And I think you would put that on and then put the headset on the hat.
[00:54:22] Speaker A: Actually, what that is for is because
[00:54:25] Speaker B: there's a hole in the top of the hat. Yeah.
[00:54:27] Speaker A: So check out the baby. Here's. Here's the baby.
[00:54:32] Speaker B: Oh, I love it. He's got like giant arms.
Oh. So you could put like the big ponytail on whichever one that you want, right?
[00:54:50] Speaker A: Yeah. So the, the top part would be for that. Oh, yeah. So I think mine.
Well, mine has one arm and no feet.
[00:54:58] Speaker B: Oh, no. But he's kind of crippled.
[00:55:01] Speaker A: Yep. Oh, he's wearing his hat backwards. You're gonna get shot, dude.
Wear your hat backwards. That's like a gang thing.
[00:55:09] Speaker B: Oh, my.
It's Chicago Potato Head.
[00:55:13] Speaker A: Oh, I guess you are supposed to wear your hat that way.
All right, potato is ready to work, I guess. Or get shot at.
[00:55:22] Speaker B: It's got this ridiculous ponytail on the baby.
[00:55:29] Speaker A: Yeah. So here's
[00:55:33] Speaker B: Mr.
Remote Worker.
[00:55:35] Speaker A: Yep.
[00:55:38] Speaker B: Oh, so you put those where the ears would go, I see.
[00:55:40] Speaker A: Yep.
And I think that you would want to put the, like the hairs in for. Cuz if you look at the baby, there's nothing holding that on.
[00:55:52] Speaker B: But that's the only one I think that's like that.
[00:55:55] Speaker A: There's, here's, this one.
That one looks like a girl one. Cuz it's got little beads, I think.
[00:56:03] Speaker B: Yeah, it's like a long. It's like a ponytail.
[00:56:05] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:56:06] Speaker B: Kind of.
[00:56:07] Speaker A: Deal.
[00:56:09] Speaker B: So here is my potato creation.
[00:56:15] Speaker A: All right, so yours has like the hair.
[00:56:19] Speaker B: Yeah, it's got like big frumpy hair.
[00:56:21] Speaker A: Like frumpy hair.
Eyes, nose, mouth.
[00:56:26] Speaker B: Shoes with little stars on them.
[00:56:28] Speaker A: Oh, yeah, yeah, I see the star shoes.
And then the arms, I think. I wonder if these are supposed to be the baby arms.
[00:56:35] Speaker B: Do they look smaller?
[00:56:36] Speaker A: Well, the right arm looks small. The left arm looks kind of big.
Yeah, look at, look at, look at the right arm versus the left arm.
[00:56:49] Speaker B: Yeah, I guess you're. Let Me see what we got in here for arms.
[00:56:52] Speaker A: Oh, here's the other baby on.
Okay, I found the other baby arm. Yeah, yeah, so you can.
[00:57:01] Speaker B: So I'll just switch those out.
[00:57:03] Speaker A: Yep, yep, yep, yep.
[00:57:04] Speaker B: Where's baby arm?
[00:57:05] Speaker A: Here's baby arm. Now my. My guy's got no arms.
[00:57:08] Speaker B: Oh, hold on a second. I'll get him some arms.
[00:57:15] Speaker A: Take.
[00:57:16] Speaker B: Here you go, buddy.
Oh, you. You found some.
[00:57:20] Speaker A: I grabbed a bottom piece.
There we go.
I'll take some arms.
[00:57:29] Speaker B: There's some arms.
[00:57:31] Speaker A: Got them.
[00:57:34] Speaker B: So, yeah, this is.
How many blind people does it take to build a.
[00:57:39] Speaker A: Maybe they're both. I can't really tell.
I. Maybe all yarns are the same.
[00:57:46] Speaker B: These are a little bit smaller. Maybe.
[00:57:53] Speaker A: Yes. If you're like, wow, I really miss their podcast. Like, there you go.
[00:57:56] Speaker B: Yeah, this is. This is what we do.
[00:57:59] Speaker A: We play with potato heads.
[00:58:02] Speaker B: But. Yeah, I see. For the. Like, for the baby head, you have to put some hair on it for it to hold the. The head on. Yeah, just like, do we have one that's less.
Less big? I guess we do not.
It's baby big head.
Through the.
Accessory container here.
Oh, I found a mustache.
[00:58:46] Speaker A: Yeah, Yeah, I know. I was gonna put that on mine.
[00:58:48] Speaker B: Oh, here you go.
[00:58:49] Speaker A: I may have the wrong eyes, but that's okay.
[00:58:54] Speaker B: I still don't know what this thing is supposed to be.
This thing, it kind of looks like an ear, but not an ear.
[00:59:04] Speaker A: Oh, I wonder if you. If that's a. Oh, it's like a bow.
[00:59:08] Speaker B: Oh. So maybe that goes on baby's head.
[00:59:10] Speaker A: You could. Yeah, I think you hold the head on.
[00:59:12] Speaker B: Yeah, that might. That might look a little better than, like, giant ponytail on baby.
[00:59:23] Speaker A: Here you go. I wonder if there's something else like that fruit, cuz you can make them again.
Me masculine or feminine?
[00:59:32] Speaker B: Yeah.
Yeah. This is.
This is how we spend an evening after work.
[00:59:44] Speaker A: I want to put mine back in the box.
I'll probably mess with building them later.
Yeah. So welcome to our podcast. That's probably not something you expected to be here, so.
[01:00:01] Speaker B: Yeah. Where we construct potato head creatures.
[01:00:05] Speaker A: Yep.
[01:00:07] Speaker B: Definitely some changes from the potato head days of old.
[01:00:12] Speaker A: Well, nice thing is we didn't have to use a real potato.
[01:00:15] Speaker B: No. So we don't have to worry about it rotting.
[01:00:17] Speaker A: Nope.
And the cool thing is we can take from that box. So, like, we're like, you know, I really want my Mr. Potato had to have glasses. I could put the glasses on.
[01:00:27] Speaker B: Yeah, sure can.
[01:00:28] Speaker A: I'm sad they don't have a purse. That was like a big thing about Ms.
[01:00:31] Speaker B: Potato, I know that was.
That was kind of one of her trademarks. I believe that was kind of done by design because they're trying to, you know, not live in a specific stereotype or view of something. And, you know, that's. That's not really to get into.
You know, we're all friends here, but I. I kind of think it's cool to see something that's just, like.
It can be whatever you want it to be.
[01:01:07] Speaker A: Yeah.
[01:01:09] Speaker B: Oh, no. I lost an arm.
[01:01:10] Speaker A: You lost an arm?
[01:01:12] Speaker B: Oh, no. I didn't have the other one on this one. I don't think that's why.
See, is there.
[01:01:20] Speaker A: No.
[01:01:20] Speaker B: In the box?
[01:01:22] Speaker A: I don't know.
[01:01:24] Speaker B: There's, like, an extra nose.
Here's a.
It's so funny that they wrap the eyes up in tissue paper, but literally nothing else. I don't understand that.
[01:01:36] Speaker A: I don't get that.
[01:01:38] Speaker B: You know, I guess it takes all sorts of stuff.
[01:01:41] Speaker A: Sure does.
[01:01:44] Speaker B: But, yeah.
[01:01:45] Speaker A: So thanks for coming to our podcast.
[01:01:48] Speaker B: Hopefully this was entertaining. Realizing at some points we were kind of off in our own land.
[01:01:52] Speaker A: It was something.
I don't know what that something is yet, but I am here to say that it was something.
[01:01:59] Speaker B: And, yes, there is a song called Addicted to Spuds, which is what inspired the title by Weird Al. Go look it up.
[01:02:09] Speaker A: Yeah, go. Go crank it up. It's a good song.
[01:02:12] Speaker B: Yeah, we were rocking out to that before we had dinner.
[01:02:15] Speaker A: Sure were.
Well, I want to thank you guys for tuning in, and we will see you when we see you. I guess my birthday's coming up.
[01:02:26] Speaker B: It sure is. Monday.
[01:02:28] Speaker A: Yeah. So we're gonna celebrate my birthday by not working.
[01:02:31] Speaker B: That's right.
[01:02:32] Speaker A: That's how we do things.
All right, well, thank you so much for watching and while listening, I guess. Thanks for listening.
[01:02:39] Speaker B: There's not really much to watch here.
[01:02:40] Speaker A: No.
[01:02:41] Speaker B: Love you all, but was not worth sacrificing getting out of my pajamas. No. To do a video.
[01:02:46] Speaker A: I didn't want to set up a camera. I just wanted to mess with this stuff.
[01:02:50] Speaker B: Yeah. I don't know how clear it would have been on camera anyway. Just like shuffling through this container of potato accessories.
[01:02:58] Speaker A: Anyways, we will see you when we see you here on 404. Site not found.
