Two Crude Dudes - Episode #11 - Diseased Toys




 Future episodes will always be available here and at http://twocrudedudes.podbean.com/

"Episode eleven descends from heaven! Super Robot Tyson and Hitman Tommy have found their way through the beer haze to once again bring you the wildly popular Two Crude Dudes podcast! Our collecting obsessions have had a serious flare up lately, but we've gathered enough strength to bring you this special show. This episode is near and dear to our hearts as we'll be confessing our most deepest and bitter jealousies to each other! What games from Tommy's collection make Tyson sneer with sour envy? Which key retro gems from Tyson's library make Tommy choke on his own bile? You have to listen to find out! This is the debut of the official “Jealousface” list! Also, Tyson nailed a big white whale and completed a collecting milestone recently, while Tommy kept his NES quest alive. The boys then stopped all forms of work, sleep, and personal hygiene to concentrate on their horrible new addiction to WWE Supercard on their iPhones! Seriously, it's electronic crack! I played it while I typed this. I'm not joking at all. We revealed a few of our other collecting diseases we've acquired over the years that have eaten our time and money, and we laid down part one of our personal retrospective of our favorite childhood action figures and toy lines. GI Joe! Transformers! Masters of The Universe and more! All this amazing content and the return of Time Attack game reviews! Grab your beers and let's roll out!"

Catching The Toy Disease..... Again!

Hey everyone! Feels like it's been forever since I've been on here but I guess that's what happens when you don't buy too many games. Anyways Tyson and I are heading back into the "studio" to record Episode 11 tomorrow night which will be available here in the near future. If you haven't listened to Episode 10 check it out at http://twocrudedudes.podbean.com or further down on this page. If you've heard Episode 10 you got the chance to hear us reminisce about gaming memories and really just random bullshit in general. While we enjoyed taking a huge trip down memory lane telling stories, we've also been taking a trip down another memory lane with our love of old toys.

We've probably mentioned before how a lot of the things we love in life never really go away but have a bit of a resurgence(similar to how most hobbies go). Video games is never one that really goes away and old toys usually rears it's ugly head more frequent than the others. I swear if we ever get back into hockey cards I'm going to gather all my cards in a pile light it on fire and burn myself to death Joan of Arc style.

Lately especially with the deals that Tyson has been finding it's made us look back on some of our favourite action figure lines past and present and we've decided to make that a major topic of discussion in the next episode. While we're going to return to more of the segments we've had in the past which will mostly be gaming related we figured what better time to share some stories about things such as G.I. Joe, Transformers, Visionaries etc from our childhood. As well as some stories about our times going out to look for old toys at flea markets and garage sales in the first couple years that we were friends. One of the first memories I have of toy chasing with Tyson involves Beast Man and wrestling, but I'll save that for the show tomorrow.

Saying I haven't done much on here recently I dug a bunch of my toys out of storage(mostly Transformers and TMNT) and figured I'd share some of that collection with you. So with out further ado here is a portion of my toy collection.
