80s True Crime: Cabbage Patch Kids

Will, Kat and Jon discuss current 1980s news including how to anger Harrison Ford, Deckard is/isn't a replicant, and AI is "demonic."

Then, Will shares the dark, true story about the origin of the popular, riot-inducing toy from the 1980s, the Cabbage Patch Kids. Although Xavier Roberts' signature appears on each doll, he may not be their father.
