80's Toys Madness Part 1 | Sal Vulcano & Joe Derosa are Taste Buds | EP 167

"I didn't own my own pony, but I visited the stable" 😂

[@HF1.0]

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

[@tyhouse49]

That line makes the tournament highlight tape 😂

[@sarahfields288]

Sal can visit my Stable 😊

[@ALCV11]

[@RyneMurray23]

One of my favorite episodes of Seinfeld is the episode where Jerry is dating the lady with an insane toy collection 😂 they force feed her turkey and wine to make her sleepy so they can play with her vintage toys 😂

[@Thats_a_lot_of_Potatoes]

Oh man, that one is great. And they end with Elaine joining to get the gumball machine to give to the sidler. 😄

[@Daniel_25]

You know that batter is like 30 years old…

[@jaylegleiter6669]

My personal favorite toy-related episode of Seinfeld is the one in Jerry's apartment where the Superman doll is in the background

[@sarahwayman342]

He knocks her out to play with all the toys. Seinfeld number one comedy ever. I make Seinfeld references every day and I wish my Younger coworkers knew what I was talking about instead of just looking at me weird .

[@sarahwayman342]

Teddy Ruxpin, Lincoln logs, tinker toys, Simon says, Rubix cube Is For the child Genius. 🎉 Cabbage patch, legos were great. These days the fancy legos if you lose one piece your screwed. My son has a huge lego , fancy collection but a piece lost it’s all Done.

[@GymAndSun]

This is the most peaceful pod the boys have ever recorded. Nice for a change 😅

[@darkostrain185]

Vintage toys plus tastebuds = a morning morning podcast Christmas to me

[@Thats_a_lot_of_Potatoes]

19:33 I feel so sad for kid Joe, you didn't have to follow the instructions for Legos! 😄 You could build whatever you wanted!

[@angieglover159]

😂

[@kbreen721]

Legos 101 1. Get a set 2. Put it together 3. Dump it in the pile and go rogue. 4. Repeat.

[@paigebeee]

Sal comparing Legos going out of business to bees becoming extinct had me wheezing lmaooooo

[@Anything.for.Salinaaas]

1:04:00 I would really enjoy more videos like this so. The idea of the “taste” in taste buds applying to all things sounds fun. Like a double-double entandre. Taste buds as in friends talking about food - but also their differing tastes in everything. So many potential topics! Air bnb vs hotel. Pants vs shorts. Endless possibilities

[@carmen3091]

Agreed

[@joshramirez7]

Lego is the ultimate toy that blew up even more over the last few years. No way anything beats Lego going forward. 🏆 🥇

[@Super_Broly]

Vidyagames

[@victoriawebster614]

Lite Brite "bumming" Joe out is so funny for some reason lol

[@iandutton9430]

I thought Joe would've battled for that classic 80s toy/pastime the ditch 😂

[@marniebrimhall986]

I'm still obsessed with "the ditch" scenario. It's fascinating and I'll never forget the "ditch visit" video.

[@jjthek]

I really enjoyed this battle. Can't wait for part 2. This brought back some great childhood memories. Awesome episode. Nice to go down memory lane.

[@gabizongo]

What battle?? All they did was discuss future battle bracket. Snooze fest

[@tunelowplayslow5623]

"I never liked LEGOS." Has to be the most adopted thing I have ever heard. Seek immediate therapy Joe.

[@zoso1up]

Lmao for real that's so sad

[@taggdn7003]

Greatest episode ever! Hit me right in the nostalgia.

[@PearlDrumsHead]

Put the polls up on the screen so we can see them while the fellas are talking about. Appreciate youse

[@MizzWezt]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HAYWOOD THURMAN!!!❤🎉😂

[@tylerhouse657]

All these toy episodes are amazing I'd love for this to be a new thing

[@Greeneyedghost2020]

Joe had a My Buddy and they would sit in the ditch together

[@Thats_a_lot_of_Potatoes]

😆 Totally forgot about My Buddy!

[@stoneguy223]

😂😂

[@Thats_a_lot_of_Potatoes]

13:25 "I would always smell the tail." 😆

[@MaraLynn1]

22:32 “And I played with her.”😅

[@sirhaunchalot3336]

22:52 I wonder what got edited out 😮😮😮

[@sherilynklassen]

Proud to say that I am a Rubix Cube solver myself. There’s a mockery of patterns to memorize for certain combinations of colors. I’m not fast, but I can do it. And yes, definitely a nerd! Thanks for the reminder!

[@carmen3091]

I've been looking for this comment! I learned to solve it with the white cross method and was able to get my time down to 1 minute 29 seconds. If I learned the speed cube hand movements I'd beat my time, and if I chose a quick jer method, but I felt great solving it! I am not someone that can solve it without the formulas. I think people get discouraged too soon. Understanding how to get one color from one plane to the next is fun.

[@johnhillii4319]

I love the nostalgia of this! Had the Slime Pit! Still building Lego and letting my nephew play with my GI Joes under close supervision!😂

[@josef2012]

I was a Star Wars,GI Joe+He-Man fan. So may toys,great memories from the 80's ❤

[@tunelowplayslow5623]

Did you grow up to be super buff and save the day followed by a life lesson?

[@thargro13]

Taste Buds and Toy Buds would be a great set of podcasts.

[@NickNotar]

The exclusion of Ninja Turtles is egregious

[@charlesdarkly7795]

I gotta think they'll be in the 90's ep. If not, I'm boycotting.

[@psychotropican666]

To be fair, they weren't around until '88, but still... with such dogshit choices like Rubik's Cube on the list, they missed so many good toys!

[@JenManning371]

Wow! I loved this episode! I was born in 91 so I can’t wait for the 90s toy off

[@robiapicca5967]

You guys should do a board game tourney next

[@flatbushtommy9681]

Gotta do a category on which game is most likely to start a family fight. Monopoly, uno, scrabble or sorry 😂

[@Nickmano17]

Keep these coming. Have to do games! Even cards! That be great. Tv shows!!! Cartoons etc. love it

[@andrewmatthews6210]

Please read this don’t ever stop this podcast I love it plain and simple. Thank you guys 💛💚💛

[@907Tia]

Joe and Sal talking about those games giving them anxiety... here I was playing "perfection" with the pieces that would shoot all over the place when the timer ran out.

[@TonsMoreCowbell]

There’s a toy called “stretch monster” that LOOKS like swamp thing. I wonder if that’s what joe is talking about.

[@skullcrackers187]

That's what I was thinking

[@hatcha6639]

Why does Joe not liking Legos not surprising 😂 love it

[@davidperez5089]

You'd think it'd be Sal, with all those sharp corners!!

[@busstopbench]

Damn adopted kids

[@notsure725]

Because Joe only enjoys pain and suffering

[@Leviajohnson]

Idk man, I’m 26 and this is starting to bum me out seeing just how nostalgic these guys are about a decade I wasn’t here for. I can’t think of anything from my childhood that brought me this level of joy.

[@mastergwaha]

damn now im empathizing with you, but youre right! you missed out dude, the 80s/90s child stuff was awesome.

[@Leviajohnson]

@@mastergwaha I mean, a lot of this we did have. Like legos. And a lot I have heard of, like stretch Armstrong. But I remember mostly… Nintendo games. I don’t remember any smash hit toy craze, but I did have more hipster hobbies like speed cubes, yoyo, longboarding and such.

[@psychotropican666]

You were born *after* the Nintendo 64, and were only 8 when the Playstation *3* came out. What chance would traditional toys have ever had with you?

[@eliTEPES_]

Hey Taste Buddy. Perhaps in 20 years..idk..I'm 35...so maybe in my 40s...because I don't quite either...but I feel slightly closer than, Further away

[@UmadBro88]

@@psychotropican666Agree. Once my family got a Nintendo, it was over.

[@Bumbling.blithering.buffoons]

Transformers vs gi joe deserves a complete episode to itself

[@mastergwaha]

i thought so too but the votes dont reflect that

[@seanmwhisler]

Joe's new special is so special it's new for years!😂

[@nickc247]

Sal played with the toddler, slow kid Legos. That checks out. 🤣🤣

[@WormMaybe]

I cant believe how much they underestimated the titan that is LEGO they literally have LEGO barbies lol

[@100canadianmaplestirup8]

WHAT A GREAT EP! HELL TOYS AND NOSTALGIA COULD INDEED BE A NEW SPIN OFF-POD! 🌋 Volcanic-RoseGarden 🌹Productions proudly presents : TOYING WITH NOSTALGIA! A Travel thru time to the TOP OF THE HEAP! the cover for the pod could just be Sal & Joe staring at a massive pile of toys & Comics & Junk; smiling like it were gold.

[@brianmariano4793]

I honestly love the toy battle

[@ajongames8999]

I just tried Joey roses on Sunday! I had the Babe , my first time ever having Brussel sprouts on a sandwich and My God! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Going back every time i visit

[@carmen3091]

I wanna go visit just to try his food and hope to meet him lol. He wasn't there I assume?

[@mattj340]

Cabbage patch dolls were wonderful my brother had a daughter and everybody in the family was trying to take care of babies. The cabbage patch was full of beautiful little baby dolls to take care of

[@PearlDrumsHead]

Been waiting for this one since I started voting even though I grew up in the 90’s. Let’s go buds!!! About to spark this blizzunt and enjoy. Love youse fellas!!

[@gabizongo]

Disappointment ensues

[@robiapicca5967]

Just a heads up, when you tweet out multiple polls so close together, not all of the notifications get sent... and when you click on one of them, it brings you to just that one, so unless people go to your twitter account and see if there are any others, they have no idea... I have notifications on for them and have to jump thru hoops to find them all half the time

[@RyneMurray23]

Joe is saying Legos with an instruction manual are "difficult", but not a Transformers toy. Those things were impossible to turn back into a car or truck😂

[@kq3698]

This was a fire episode hands down. Nice boys

[@BobMcRoberts1991]

absolutely love watching two italian men talk about toys from a decade i was not alive in.

[@collinsmcrae]

I thought Joe was Egyptian?

[@FrowningFathers]

Arabic adopted into American home

[@collinsmcrae]

@@FrowningFathers Got ya. Thanks.

[@jamasonfinn]

Yes! It would be amazing for them to do a separate show where they talk about old toys and video games.

[@flatbushtommy9681]

Man i loved my gi joes and wrestlers. Nothing like walking into a toys r us on a weekend and going to ur favorite aisle 😌

[@sarahfields288]

My gorgeous Sal talking about my Favourite toy made my day

[@HBZ]

Joe "Legos instructions are too complicated" DeRosa 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@collinsmcrae]

I was going to give you a thumbs up, but the excessive use of emoji has ruined my good will. Ehh… fuck it. Take my upvote anyway. I’m trying to stat a new chapter in life.

This is such a wholesome ep

[@germanjarquin5109]

Please more toy reviews from over the decades. A whole mini series will be great

[@JimBentley]

Do you, or anyone up in these comments, remember MASK?? With the Boulder Hill HQ? (was a gas station with a mountain behind it)

[@ssanner0721]

Mask was lit! I just got goosebumps looking at images of the toys front the 80s. So under-rated

[@mattj340]

Omg, the pound puppy collection.

[@tammybaker7237]

I was a Rubik's cube champ when I was about 11. I would take them apart and put them back together even. I had all the variations including the pyramid, the round one, the chain and even the mini. I had a lot more patience back then lol.

[@chrismele5214]

Love the non food battles!! Plus it's a good break but food battles are always the best!!

[@collinsmcrae]

It’s worth pointing out that He-man was not a cartoon first. It was a toy line created by Mattel. The cartoon was created at the same time in order to sell more toys. Yes, I saw The Toys That Made Us on Netflix.

[@Super_Broly]

Thanks bro

[@collinsmcrae]

​@@Super_BrolyNo problem, boo boo

[@cloudbloom]

Pretty good series, it's cool to hear all the backstories on all the toys. The episode about ninja turtles was crazy, talk about lightning in a bottle it's wild how that franchise blew up from a very niche comic

[@samhuff999]

I love this show

[@jiggycalzone8585]

Good friday, buds monday

[@taylordial1231]

Happy Birthday Heywood Thurman

[@Blackoutbob81]

Joe not liking Lite Brite makes me wonder about him even more than the time he had relations with that fella 😂😂

[@zoso1up]

Or Lego that's just sad

[@Blackoutbob81]

Agreed!

[@jmaice83616]

This is an awesome way to do it. I love the tournament style and there's less yelling and screaming and trying to one up each other and you just talk about what you love about each toy and what you don't like about them and then the fans vote! Brilliant! This is something that would get me watching again because I kind of fell off for a little bit.

[@gabizongo]

This was not a battle episode. They are discussing future battles. Lazy episode, one of the worst.

[@the1der]

This is March Madness starting in April. "Better late than never" Good Ishh

[@ItzShdw]

Happy Birthday Haywood thurman 🎉🥳

[@matsousa]

Love you guys and your vids. Really missed seeing what you were looking at in this ep. A small floating screen showing what you are seeing while talking would be great. Keep on keepin' on. T A S T E Buds

[@CornerStoreDrums]

Oh here we go! Ready for another one!! 💯

[@WhoGuyThat]

Nice refreshing ep from all the heated recent ones

[@Btkamp]

Wrestling action figures and ninja turtles rules my childhood bedroom

[@billtron182]

When they were talking about voltron it made me think of those cool power rangers toys in the 90s where u had to individual pieces but if u combine them together they made the megazord I loved that growing up

[@tylerseese449]

The fact this only has 1K likes is simply bananas. Like the video people, only takes a second! Love this new content!

[@Thx1130plus]

Thundercats? Popples? Pound puppies? I’m sure y’all could do a whole season… Love this topic. Also love food. Have a lot of great matchups in mind

[@Yankeehorseman]

GI Joe taking Barbie from Ken and having his way with her. Is my childhood memory. 😂

[@youngericb]

I have "My Buddy" in my closet right now and gifted "My Pet Monster " to my godson. So happy they brought them up.

[@billzor5831]

You should really put the pictures and polls that the guys are looking at up on the screen in between them, love the show but that would make it so much better.

[@mattc5023]

Nintendo vs Sega battle needs to happen

[@jamespowers.gpa.]

I just love the seriousness when they talk about this, Joe: Rainbow Brite was cool… but she couldn’t mess with some of the titans. Sal: ooohhh idk man, you’re forgetting the weight she threw around 😂😂 I love it!

[@Wonkzzilla]

Lite Brite is electric so Etch A Sketch should have vs Staring Line Ups, or Trading Cards if thats not a board game, or Troll Dolls if they arent in the 1990's.

[@mattj340]

Voltron's a dramatic series

[@Blackoutbob81]

That 57 Chevy! My show piece as well!❤

[@angieglover159]

My oldest had an elmo doll that talked. One day it did the exact same thing. It didn't have a battery in it for months then randomly said something one day.

[@CABHC]

Why does it not surprise me that Joe De Rosa can't handle the amazing fun you could have with Lego.

[@nickc247]

Happy 40th birthday, Heyward Therman!!

[@f0x845]

I think we all know this show has run it's course. Joe a lot of us would love if you had a different podcast with someone you can be friends with.

[@thomasrogers280]

This is what tastebuds is supposed to be!

[@JCR2051]

Some visual aids on the screen would’ve been cool for this ep. Other than that great and fun episode to watch as an 80’s baby. 👏🏼

This is a huge battle 😂

[@gfeast4518]

I was born in 99 and my favorite toys as a kid were Batman figures, hot wheels, webkinz, ps2, Lego/ bionicles, and those crazy beans things. My uncles all had the he man, ninja turtle, gi joe, and transformers figures but I never really got into that maybe I am too young

[@Recoveringdadpodcast]

Love the toy episode keep em coming

[@amanda022]

I used to have to hide my Ferbie Baby in the bathroom at night because it wouldn't stop talking, said weird things, and always called me Dad even though I said to call me Mom 😂

[@mattj340]

Loooool, writing dialogues in the ring

[@collinsmcrae]

This is an awesome format. I’ve been watching a while, but I’m not sure if you guys have done one of these rapid fire themed battles before, but it was a killer idea. Well, I do recall some Halloween candy battles I think, but this felt a little different somehow. It’s a little more lighthearted, and there’s more things for me to personally identify with in a single episode. I feel like stuff like this could be a nice chance of pace here and there, to mix it up, but I do also love the heated battles that almost end your friendship on a regular basis.

[@theakspud]

Sal that foots looking like a squiggly line 😂

[@wbljr13]

I still have my Wrinkles. He never had batteries. He was a puppet/stuffed animal. There is no electronics in Wrinkles or the other dogs in the line.
