McDonagh said he had to get some things off his chest, that this is affecting his family.

Mr. FilthyHOST

RyanHOST
judgment day comes down to the ring and jd says before we start talking um he says he he doesn't he doesn't like the the funko pop stuff He said it doesn't bother him, but it's stressing his mom out.
RyanHOST
I mean, JD, if your mom married a Funko Pop, I mean, I guess she should be stressed out.
Mr. FilthyHOST
Also, JD, don't lie to us and pretend like your mom cares about you.

Aaron D. JohnstonHOST
I have a full beard because that's what Funkos do.
Aaron D. JohnstonHOST

Tom HarrisonHOST
that a little bit.
Tom HarrisonHOST
If you start putting Funkos up there, I think we need to rethink this whole podcast.
Tom HarrisonHOST
If you're about to pull a Funko from the shadows on me, don't.
Tom HarrisonHOST
Just don't.
speaker_0NARRATOR
20 billion! But what's fascinating isn't just the size, right? It's how they found their path by solving a hard marketplace problem one step at a time.
speaker_0NARRATOR
They started with Funko dolls and trading card packs, then expanded into something much broader.
speaker_0NARRATOR
Exactly.
speaker_0NARRATOR
The founder describes it as the classic chicken and egg problem, where buyers and sellers have to arrive together.
speaker_0NARRATOR
Smart pivot.
speaker_0NARRATOR
So how did they actually get buyers in the door? Two tactics.
speaker_0NARRATOR
First, they partnered with Funko Pop influencers on YouTube.
speaker_0NARRATOR
Second, they built viral giveaways around high-value grails, using referral links and social sharing to turn users into distributors.
IrvHOST
Because, I mean, honestly, if they switch it up and did that, they could sustain because they drop enough Pokemon cards and decks and different things to make it make sense.
IrvHOST
And like we said, you could still sell all of the other stuff you sell normally, Funkos and games.
EarthOneHOST
Yeah, just kind of switch it up.
EarthOneHOST
It's almost like kind of what they did with, because they had ThinkGeek.
Ken NapzokHOST
This is my stuff.
Ken NapzokHOST
you got the sense that he might've been, he doesn't collect Funko pops, but you got the energy from Melody Hobson that like George doesn't like get rid of things.
Ken NapzokHOST
Um, It seems like George was like, all right, this stuff's got to go out of the garage.
Ken NapzokHOST
It can't be in the garage anymore.
