When Toys Had Manuals (and German Instructions)

It’s Rob’s birthday and everything’s gone gloriously off the rails! Tom and Rob celebrate with Star Trek Micro Machines, Lego flowers and a brand-new charity art challenge for The Samaritans. But before the cake’s even cut, the boys are furious at Fall Out Boy’s remake of The Muppet Christmas Carol classic “It Feels Like Christmas” — and they don’t hold back.A full-on nostalgia explosion follows: the great Aldi vs Angel Delight taste test (and a shock winner), a “Do You Remember?” duel featuring Dawn French’s Murder Most Horrid and 90s toy legend the Barcode Battler, plus a look back at Hip Hop eJay and the weird DJ gadgets of the past.Finally, “Was It Best Left in the 90s?” asks whether girl group Vanilla’s No Way No Way should have stayed in the bargain bin. Expect laughter, chaos, nostalgia, and more birthday-fueled nonsense than your ears can legally handle.Social DetailsNow open - Reddit!!The Variety Show on Reddit - https://reddit.com/r/TheVarietyShowFind us on:Twitter - @_VarietyShowPodBlueSky - @TheVarietyShow.channel84.co.ukInstagram / Threads - _VarietyShowPodTikTok - varietyshowpodFacebook you can find us with Studio:Channel84.We are part of the Studio:Channel84 network and are featured on their site https://channel84.co.uk.Finally, why not e-mail us:TJ [email protected] [email protected] Hosts [email protected] created by the amazing Ryan at Geeky Brummiehttps://geekybrummie.com
