Philip Totaro: I was a toy tester for Fisher Price. When I was young, because they're in my hometown outside of Buffalo. And I helped the team in that invented the pocket rocker, which was the kids version of the Sony Walkman, which is very popular back in the eighties.

Allen Hall: Wait a minute. Is this the one when it had a little microphone on it that you could record things with?

Is this what I, I remember this. Don't I? That was really popular. That's good. That's actually a retro item that's coming back into favor. People are looking for those things. But so why you, Phil? Why were you chosen out of thousands of children?

Philip Totaro: Companies headquartered in my hometown of East Aurora, New York.

And my mother was taking a sabbatical from teaching when, I was very young. So I was like four or five years old. And was in the business of selling kids dolls and toys and stuff like that, although not necessarily directly affiliated with Fisher Price, but she must have just gotten to know somebody over there.

And I want to believe that this wasn't just like a cheap daycare thing that she could just drop me off at Fisher Price and they would let me play with toys and she didn't have to deal with me. But So I, I got to play with, all kinds of the, they used to have a thing called Constructs I used to love that they, I got to play with all the cool Fisher Price toys before, anybody in the world ever got to see them but the Pocket Rocker was the one that, because of the popularity of the Sony Walkman back in the 80s, Fisher Price wanted to have the kids version of the Sony Walkman.

And they, had me, I remember being like five year old sitting in this boardroom and it was enormous. It was like literally if you've seen like Putin's conference table, it was like that, that long with, with chairs and stuff.

Joel Saxum: You funded your mother's retirement at the same time.

You didn't know you were actually getting paid. She was taking your checks.

Philip Totaro: I don't know of how much anybody got compensated for any of that. To be honest, free daycare. That's what it was. I hope we, yeah, I know. I hope it was more than just free daycare, but I haven't seen any royalties from any of that.

Allen Hall: This is before, child safety came into favor on children's toys, where they took out all the small pieces and all the red items and all the lead that came out of toys. Yeah, that was the good old days. Is it just that one item, Phil?

Philip Totaro: That's the one that was commercially popular. I'm sure I gave them product feedback on, cause we, they used to put you in these little rooms where they had, a double sided mirror, although you didn't know it was, you're a five year old, you don't know that it's a double sided mirror, but it's a little creepy cause you're sitting there just like playing with toys and people are watching you play with toys.

And it's what is he doing now?
