2024-12-08 22:54:33 +0000 UTCQuiznos spongmonkeys are a core memory from my childhood. Probably explains a lot of issues I have, but they were so weird. I bring them up often and no one has a goddamn clue what I'm talking about.

2024-12-07 21:25:43 +0000 UTCHey real quick, can we get a picture of Mike and Jason dressed up like The Wet Bandits?

2024-12-06 19:55:42 +0000 UTCFrom MumMum and PupPup to Nut Barrels to Baked Alaska Dances - one of the worlds greatest tangents!

2024-12-06 04:18:51 +0000 UTCJust when I think Jason can’t surprise us anymore, we get three-foot-tall nut barrel with Mom-Mom and Pop-Pop. 😂

2024-12-05 20:01:48 +0000 UTCI remember both the Scion hamsters and Quiznos rats...and I'm not proud of either.

2024-12-05 19:23:53 +0000 UTCJason is the Patron Saint of Commercial Entities that Haunt Children I haven’t thought about the hamsters driving the cars since I was a child that was scared this meant they were introducing human sized hamsters and giving them cars to boot.

2024-12-05 15:03:53 +0000 UTCCan’t say I did. Guess there weren’t any swingers on that cruise.

2024-12-05 12:42:25 +0000 UTCJoel Veitch is the man behind the Spongmonkeys. He used to run a fantastic flash animation website called "Rather Good" long before the Quiznos stuff. He's currently a podcaster (among other things), so I imagine he'd be delighted to be a guest on the Spongmonkeys episode!

2024-12-05 02:03:16 +0000 UTCThe Spirit Christmas/Halloween in Brick was also a Christmas Tree Shop! I wonder if they moved into all the former Christmas Tree Shops across the state.

2024-12-05 01:23:04 +0000 UTCWow! The Mays Landing Spirit Christmas is minutes from my house. Fun fact about that physical location: prior to its holiday transformation, it was a general department store called “Christmas Tree Shops”
Ian Sweeney
2024-12-05 01:06:39 +0000 UTCThe mention of Scion Gerbils was giving me serious “triggered nerd” energy. It’s Kia and Hamsters, damn it!

2024-12-04 20:36:34 +0000 UTCI used to work in the toy industry in NJ(a redemption supplier and briefly at Toys r Us corporate in the final days). Spencer Gifts is headquartered in Egg Harbor Township, I’ve worked with a few people from there over the years, but most people stay at Spencers corporate forever. They’ve probably had the same guy writing the sayings for the last 30 years lol they need to hire Mike!

Kate Malo
2024-12-04 17:56:58 +0000 UTCMy parents had one of these "nut barrels". It was pretty wide and about a foor or so tall. We had all the metal tools as well. It usually got put out for Thanksgiving and would get refill through the New Year. My dad would eat out if it all weekend at times!
Larry Roachelle
2024-12-04 17:22:11 +0000 UTCBummed to hear it is just kind of Spencer’s does Xmas. When I heard the concept I was hoping it would be more like the Halloween stores with interactive elements and licensed stuff and more generally like an event.

2024-12-04 17:22:06 +0000 UTCJason: (inhales) / Mike: Whoah, whoah, whoah, WAIT, hold ON. WHAT did you just say, Jason? I have NO idea what you're talking about. No, stop, be quiet. WHAT? You are so WEIRD, Jason.

Breanna
2024-12-04 15:29:53 +0000 UTCWent on a cruise earlier this year. Unfortunately, no midnight buffet anymore and they no longer light the baked Alaska on fire (which is understandable as fire and boats don’t really go together). I got to cruise in the 90s like Jason, so I remember both of those things well and missed them this time around.
Marc Gannon
2024-12-04 14:19:12 +0000 UTCAny chance we can get the full keynote with background images intact? Release the Sheridan cut?
Ben
2024-12-04 14:16:08 +0000 UTCI know the Sour Patch Kids commercials and the Kia commercials with hamsters that Jason is talking about.
AW
2024-12-04 14:15:52 +0000 UTCThe sour patch kids! First they’re sour, then they’re sweet. I feel like I’ve seen those ads on Hulu?
Chelsea G
2024-12-04 14:00:09 +0000 UTCMost offensive to me is the "Horny and Lit" sweater. Antlers and horns are completely different. I'd, of course, trust no one wearing any of these items, but the person wearing that sweater I would trust the least.

2024-12-04 08:49:52 +0000 UTCOh yeah…Spirit Christmas. Forgot about that announcement earlier in the year. Have yet to see one in the LA area. UPDATE: No wonder I have yet to see one, there’s only 10 of them and they are all in the east coast.
