About this listen
It’s 1983. You’re a dumb kid who wants a weird doll. Your parents have been blinded by capitalistic rage. Some kids got what they wanted. Some adults got hurt. Some people made a buttload of money. It was THE CABBAGE PATCH KIDS RIOTS.
Steve and Justin take a trip back in time to explore the moment when all of America lost its mind over a doll that looked like a dimple had a baby: the Cabbage Patch Kid.
Was there any good reason for the violence and greed that overtook Christmas of 1983 besides the doll being “so dang cute”? It doesn’t seem like it. But the deep, weird, and often creepy lore of the dolls themselves is enough to make you ask what was in the water in the early ’80s.
