Regulars Ami and Robb join Ross to discuss the Beanie Baby investment craze of the mid-90's and then take a scientific test to determine which kind of Beanie Baby each is.  Tangents include:  Mike Pence (former VP in the U.S.); 'garblins'; holiday Barbies; golf club gadgets that no one wants; playing the lottery.
