Hey there, folks! Welcome back to another heartwarming episode of Uncle Dad Talks. It’s been a while, but we’re thrilled to be here with not just UncleDad himself, but also the man, the myth, the pickleball legend – Mike Hampton! Although Mike’s pickleball career is still in the works, we’re excited to have him with us.

Before we dive into today’s special episode, we have something close to our hearts to discuss. We’re raising funds for those affected by Hurricane Helene, particularly in Asheville, North Carolina. Mike’s sister, a beloved part of our show, has been hit hard, and we’re rallying together to support her and her team. Please consider donating at paypal.me/uncledadhelps or via our Instagram bio at @uncledadtalks. Every little bit helps!

Now, onto some fun! We’re diving into the world of toys with a chat about the Shibajuku dolls from Hunter Products, a family-owned Australian company. UncleDad had the pleasure of interviewing Mads from Hunter Products, exploring the vibrant world of Shibajuku dolls, their anime-inspired design, and the exciting collaborations with legends like Shaquille O’Neal.

Whether you’re into anime, collectibles, or just love a good story, this episode has something for everyone. Plus, we're gearing up for Designer Con, and we’d love to see you there! If you’re attending, reach out to us at [email protected] to set up a chat about your art.

As always, thank you for tuning in and supporting our cause. Remember, we’re not just uncles or dads – we’re here for you, ready to talk about anything and everything. Catch you next week for our Halloween special, and don’t forget to support those in need!

Stay awesome, friends, and enjoy the episode!
