In this episode, Christina and B Mad take a nostalgic deep dive into the sanctuary of our childhood: The Playroom. We’re unlocking the toy chest to revisit the icons of the 1980s that defined our upbringing. From the absolute chaos of the Cabbage Patch Kids craze to the gross-out humor of Garbage Pail Kids, we’re reminiscing about the toys that were more than just plastic—they were our world.

In this episode, we discuss:

  • The Legends: How the Fisher-Price projector turned our playroom into a cinema and sparked our early creativity.
  • Happy Meal Magic: When McDonald’s toys were the ultimate Friday night prize.
  • Cultural Phenoms: Why we were so obsessed with the "ugly-cute" dolls and trading cards of the era.
  • The Top 5: We count down our definitive list of favorite childhood toys.

Join us as we reflect on how these moments in the playroom shaped who we are today. Whether you grew up on the 4th floor with us or just love a good trip down memory lane, this episode is for the kid in all of us.
