Operation: the Full-Scale Assault on My Friend Skullcruncher

This week we learn about the gross history of the dakko-chan. To get a sense of a contemporaneous American view, we read a racist Time magazine article from 1960 about a racist doll which was apparently incredibly popular for far longer than it should have been. Which is never. Oh, and we also talk over the penultimate episodes of:  The Headmasters [ザ☆ヘッドマスターズ] (1988)And check in on how Starscream is doing in the clink over on:  Cyberverse (2019)On top of that we make a bunch of crude and juvenile jokes about something very unfunny we heard not involving Bill Clinton & a certain best-president-ever. We also learn how to breathe in a car on fire underwater and Forrest recaps issue 26 of:   Skybound's The Transformers (2025) ongoing comic series! Currently on a run by Robert Kirkman & Dan Mora and it is AWESOME    [link to the article in case the hyperlink doesn't work]https://time.com/archive/6872262/japan-dakkochan-delirium/[our theme music is by DRiP (©None Records)]$1 for eternal happiness don't delay
