Full Episode
Personally, I would love it if toys was our smallest revenue channel, because it would mean we've succeeded as a brand to be able to, you know, make the core collector happy with the best stuff, but also make a business out of the other revenue that we have in our platform.
This is Right About Now with Ryan Alford, a Radcast Network production. We are the number one business show on the planet with over 1 million downloads a month, Taking the BS out of business for over six years and over 400 episodes. You ready to start snapping necks and cashing checks? Well, it starts right about now. Hey, Ryan. Hey. So much.
So much is cooking. We are cooking with Crisco right now. Just launched a new location in Vegas. Yeah, it's cooking.
Yeah, man. You guys got your hands in a lot. And anybody named Super Plastic gets my attention. No doubt. I got to start there. Where did the name come from?
I wish we had a better story for it. It was really quite a random combination that our founder, Paul Budnitz, created. He was the founder of Kid Robot. And when he was ready to start a new company, more character and IP driven, he wanted it to be super. And somehow he landed on Superplastic.
Yeah. And I guess... The obscurity sometimes with which names come from, you just never know. It just lands certain places. You guys get the name. What was it called? The something of Disney?
Demented Disney.
Demented Disney. There we go. Yeah, I know. I love it because we talked a little pre-episode and we're going to talk about some names, different things like that. My head gets exactly where the space is sometimes where, you know, words are powerful. Demented Disney. Yes. What makes it Demented Disney ultimately?
The reality is that we were born of TikTok and we were born of the Internet. Our two main characters, Janky and Googie Mon, are the ultimate schemers. Janky is sort of the lovable idiot. Googie Mon is the, you know, semi lovable and always interested murderer.
