Welcome back to the Hall of Toys!

This is the special outtakes edition we talked about on the show. All taken from the preshow as we tried to get it together, laughing over the previous night's naming marathon when we failed miserably at coming up with a new name for the show.

Plus just some hilarious discussion that was too good not to share with the world.

We hope you all enjoy this special outtakes episode. Please give us a review on iTunes, send us an email, or leave a comment below!
