Originally Recorded 4/9/2021 Patrick and Ian discuss Who, exactly, Melissa and Doug, of the eponymous Melissa and Doug toy company, Are. If you have kids, have ever shopped for a young child, or mistakenly stumbled into their aisle at Target, you likely know this company. But those of us with kids, they're a BIG deal. So Ian wants to know who they are, what are their scandals, what's their deal!? It also fits, nicely, in with our ongoing wealth gap/the wealthy are the worst- theme. Last week was CEO's, before that the Wealthy and their taxes. Maybe next week we'll move on. Who knows! Anyway, It's nothing wild, just a little something extra. (play it for your friends with kids, they'll get it!) We'll be back next week with something interesting. Surely!
