HoodCast AF

With Chisel off in Las Vegas receiving some kind of mysterious “Good Toy Show Guy” award (seriously, what even is that?), the show doesn’t stop. Cobra Dad and Jonathan Fallen take the reins—and immediately start roasting him into oblivion. The award apparently mentions something loosely related to Hoodcast AF… but not by name. And that’s all the fuel they need. What follows is a full-on comedic takedown as the guys question the legitimacy of the award, the judging process, and whether Chisel just printed the plaque at a mall kiosk.

But this episode isn’t just roasting.

The guys dive deep into a ton of collectible news—from the latest toy drops and community drama to the weird corners of the collecting world that somehow always end up on their radar. If it’s happening in the toy and collectible scene, Cobra Dad and Fallen are talking about it.

They also hit some wild Vegas headlines, including the bizarre story about the dudes who strangled the Flamingo at the Flamingo Casino—which feels especially relevant considering Chisel is currently wandering around Vegas somewhere accepting awards that may or may not exist.

And with Fallen and Chisel heading to Vegas themselves in just a couple weeks, the speculation about what could possibly go wrong starts early.

Roasts. Collectible news. Vegas chaos.

This one is a barn burner.

Don’t miss Hoodcast AF – Episode 292.

Reply

Our sister podcast "I've Got a Bad Feeling Abot This", bonus episode!

This week on I’ve Got a Bad Feeling About This, host Chisel is joined by Jonathan Fallon and special guest Seneca for a deep dive into the weird, hilarious, and sometimes chaotic world of the toy collecting community.

Episode 34, “Friends with Benefits,” isn’t about romance—it’s about the kind of friendships you build when you spend enough weekends digging through toy bins, setting up tables at conventions, and arguing over whether that loose figure is “complete enough.” The crew talks about how they first crossed paths selling toys, the toy shows that brought them together, and the strange journey of a certain show that kept moving from place to place as the community followed it.

Along the way, they share stories from the trenches of the collectible world:

• The good – the friendships, the finds, and the thrill of the hunt.
• The bad – tough deals, weird buyers, and the occasional toy-show drama.
• The ugly – the moments that make you question your life choices while standing behind a vendor table for eight hours.

From working toy stores to setting up at toy shows, the conversation jumps between behind-the-scenes stories, collector culture, and the kind of inside jokes that only make sense if you’ve ever spent way too long debating the value of a plastic figure from 1987.

It’s a laid-back, laugh-filled episode packed with stories from the toy trenches, memories of how the crew met, and a reminder that sometimes the best part of the hobby isn’t the toys—it’s the people you meet along the way.

• This week on Hoodcast AF (a.k.a. the Collectible Podcast) the crew dives head-first into the weirdest corner of the collectible world: haunted dolls on eBay.
• Fallen opens the episode with a breakdown of what actually sells on eBay—but not the normal stuff. We’re talking about the bizarre niche listings where dolls allegedly come with attached spirits, tragic backstories, protective sigils, and warning labels that basically say “do not anger the entity.” Fallen reads through some of the most unhinged haunted-doll listings on the internet, written by metaphysical sellers who take the whole thing very seriously… which of course makes it even funnier.
• Inspired by the chaos, Fallen announces his own plan to start crafting custom “metaphysical” haunted dolls, supposedly imbued with mysterious energies, questionable relics, and just enough satanic flair to make eBay nervous. Are they cursed? Blessed? Or just incredible marketing? You decide.
• Meanwhile, Cobra Dad attempts to verify the supernatural claims live on the show using his pocket Ouija board. What begins as a simple spirit-contact experiment quickly spirals into pure Hoodcast chaos as the “communication” gets weird, the crew starts asking questionable questions, and nobody can agree whether the spirits are real… or just trolling them.
• Also in Episode 291:
• Action figure news – the latest reveals and collectibles hitting shelves.
• Recent acquisitions – what the crew picked up this week for their collections.
• Tangents, jokes, and the usual unhinged Hoodcast energy.
• If you’ve ever wondered whether haunted collectibles are legit paranormal artifacts or just the strangest marketing strategy on eBay, this episode might not answer that—but it will definitely make you laugh about it.
• Episode 291: “Spirits in Dolls” — weird listings, cursed collectibles, and a Ouija board that probably shouldn’t have been used on a podcast.

• The collectible habit conversation continues… and immediately spirals out of control.
• In Episode 290, Jonathan Fallen, The Chizzle, and Cobra Dad are back in the lab talking action figures, Toy Fair insanity, pre-orders we swore we weren’t placing, and the never-ending cycle of “I’m done buying” followed by “okay, just one more.”
• Cobra Dad kicks things off with a bold announcement: he’s officially retiring “No Diddy.” That’s it. It’s over. We’re evolving.
• Except… we’re not.
• Because the Toy Fair news is wild. The reveals are heavy. The sculpts are detailed. The articulation is strong. The prices? Even stronger. And as Follin and The Chisel push every collectible breakdown to the absolute max, Cobra Dad finds himself fighting for his life trying not to say the phrase he just put on the shelf.
• It’s hard.
• Yeah. Hard.
• Expect:
• Major action figure news
• Toy Fair drops and reactions
• Deep dives into the psychology of collecting
• Shelf space debates
• Financial denial
• And multiple moments where the show completely derails (as tradition demands)
• Three grown men. Too many figures. Not enough space. Zero self-control.
• The collectible therapy session continues — and like always, it goes gloriously off the rails.
• Tap in. Tune in. And remember… he said he’s retiring it.
• We’ll see how long that lasts.

Episode 289 is straight chaos—in the best possible way.

Cobra Dad is MIA this week, but the squad is still stacked. Jonathan Fallen and Chizel hold it down, and stepping into the third mic is none other than Toy Addict 17, aka Danny from A Worthy Addiction, the Thursday-night throwdown you catch on their YouTube channel.

The episode kicks off with the now-infamous “Fart Ninja” moment that spirals into a ridiculous running bit after an HGTV personality drops a wildly inappropriate slur on air—yeah, it gets awkward, it gets loud, and we absolutely dissect the absurdity of it for way longer than we should. It’s satire, it’s uncomfortable, and it’s definitely not safe for Sunday brunch conversation.

After that? Pure toy-head heaven.

We tear through:

• The latest action figure reveals
• Upcoming pre-orders that are about to wreck your wallet
• Surprise reissues and exclusives
• Industry rumors that may or may not hold up
• The eternal struggle of shelf space vs. adult responsibility

Danny brings the collector heat, Jonathan brings the chaos energy, and Chisel keeps it just grounded enough to keep the rails visible—though we absolutely do not stay on them.

It’s loud.

It’s immature.

It’s collector-core.

It’s not for everyone.

And it is definitely not for your kids.

Episode 289: Fart Ninja.

Press play. You’ve been warned.

Episode 288 goes completely off the rails — and somehow still sticks the landing. Jonathan Fallon, Cobra Dad, and Chisel jump into the latest headlines with their signature mix of dark humor and side-eye commentary, kicking things off with talk about the Epstein file releases. They keep it half-serious, half-chaotic, poking at both the heavy implications and the wild internet theories — including the infamous “pizza party” angles and the rabbit holes fans keep falling into. It’s not a news report — it’s Hoodcast AF trying to make sense of the madness while roasting everything in sight.

And then… things get weird. Like, ancient-mythology-meets-conspiracy-forum weird. The crew dives into rumors and jokes floating around online — from talk about secret files and political drama to the completely unhinged question: what happens if Gilgamesh comes back? Is he storming conventions? Eating people by the handful? Starting a toy line? Nobody knows — but the theories alone are worth the price of admission.

Of course, no episode is complete without pop-culture news getting absolutely shredded. Expect a pile of ridiculous headlines, questionable takes, toy talk, and the kind of chaotic tangents that make the show feel like three friends arguing at a pizza place at 1 a.m. The conversation veers off course more than once — but that’s half the fun — and somehow circles back to pure, stupid-hilarious energy by the end.

If you like your podcasts messy, loud, conspiratorial-but-self-aware, and full of laughs you probably shouldn’t admit to… Hoodcast AF Episode 288 — “Pizza Party” — is the slice you don’t want to skip. 🍕

This bonus drop switches up the energy as Fallen is joined by his better half — the one and only Fig Wife — for a chaotic, hilarious deep dive into the wild world of trash TV and collector life behind the scenes. From Rock of Love to 90 Day Fiancé and all the messy reality shows in between, she breaks down why these trainwreck classics are impossible to stop watching, while Fallen tries (and fails) to keep the conversation on track.

But this isn’t just a recap show — it’s pure couple chaos. They roast each other over collector habits, debate the real struggles of being married to an action figure addict, and share off-the-wall stories ranging from who burps louder (spoiler: she’s proud of her championship status) to bizarre, questionable gossip that spirals into some seriously weird territory. And yes — her laugh really does sound like Chun-Li just landed a spinning bird kick.

The vibe is loose, unpredictable, and full of that “did they really just say that?” energy longtime listeners love. It’s playful roasting, behind-the-curtain stories, and nonstop laughs as Fallen and Fig Wife prove that collector culture at home is just as wild as anything on the main show.

If you want a bonus episode packed with trash TV takes, married-life chaos, ridiculous tangents, and two people clearly having way too much fun on the mic — this is one you don’t want to miss. Tune in and join the madness.

Episode 288 pulls zero punches and wastes no time getting loud. Jonathan Fallen, Cobra Dad, and Chisel kick things off by talking directly to the listeners — checking in, cracking jokes, and setting the tone for one of those episodes where you already know somebody’s gonna lose their cool before the hour is up.

The crew dives into a gritty, controversial conversation about the differences between a hobo, a homeless person, and a bum — and yeah, their takes are raw, unfiltered, and guaranteed to spark debate. It’s classic Hoodcast AF: half street-philosophy, half chaos, with the hosts throwing opinions around like folding chairs at a backyard wrestling show.

They keep one eye on pop-culture headlines too, briefly touching on the latest Epstein-related news and a handful of trending stories without letting it take over the episode. Of course, the nerd corner makes an appearance — especially when Fallen goes deep (maybe too deep) into new Hot Toys Predator action figure news. What starts as hype quickly turns into a full-blown meltdown when Cobra Dad hits his limit, leading to a heated clash that feels more like a pay-per-view main event than a podcast argument. Voices raise, egos flare, and for a moment it sounds like the mics might not survive the round.

But in true Hoodcast AF fashion, the chaos eventually cools. By the closing stretch, the crew pulls things back together and bonds over their latest toy and collectible acquisitions — reminding listeners why they keep coming back for the mix of fights, laughs, and weirdly wholesome geek energy underneath all the trash talk.

This week on HoodCast AF, Fallen, Chizzle, and Cobra Dad break down the gritty, sometimes grimy, but always lucrative world of thrifting. From early-bird garage sales to dusty flea markets and sketchy-smelling thrift stores, the crew talks about how to spot value, avoid junk, and turn other people’s throwaways into straight-up profit.

They get into the real know-how behind flipping—what sells, what doesn’t, and how platforms like Whatnot and eBay can either make you money or humble you real fast if you don’t know what you’re doing. No influencer fairy tales here, just hard-earned lessons, bad buys, and a few accidental wins.

In collectible news, the guys react to the new Netflix Masters of the Universe trailer… and yeah, it mostly blows. They dig into what went wrong, what (surprisingly) didn’t, and whether there’s anything worth being excited about. Plus, NECA somehow manages to catch strays with their Sesame Street Big Bird alternate head that looks less “beloved children’s icon” and more “three days deep on a bender.”

Unfiltered, hilarious, and absolutely unapologetic—Episode 286 is thrifting wisdom mixed with collectible chaos. You might learn something… or at least laugh while judging terrible toy decisions. 🛒🔥🎙️

This week on HoodCast AF, Fallen and Chizzle rip the bandage off the hobby and ask the question nobody wants to answer: is social media absolutely wrecking collecting? From nonstop FOMO and manufactured “sold out in 30 seconds” false scarcity, to the exhausting game of keeping up with the Joneses, the guys break down how the internet’s highlight-reel reality is messing with our wallets, our joy, and our shelves.

They dive headfirst into flex culture, clout collecting, and how influencers and algorithms quietly tell us what we’re “supposed” to want—whether we actually like it or not. Expect unfiltered takes on the fake online lifestyle vs. real-world collecting, plus a round of pop culture and collectible news touching on Star Wars, Beavis and Butt-Head, and whatever else is setting the timeline on fire.

As always, it’s edgy, honest, and pulls zero punches—with plenty of laughs along the way. If you’ve ever panic-bought something just because Instagram told you to… yeah, this one’s for you. 🎙️🔥
