Then, they dig into the rise of Labubu (no, seriously), the vinyl toy that’s got adults throwing elbows at Pop Mart's around the globe. From behind-the-scenes rental companies of Hollywood to Beanie Baby flashbacks, Bryan misses every opportunity to cash in! TCB Intro Clips: Ferris is a righteous dude!
