Remember The Secret Beanie Baby Scam? (with Tim Kasher of Cursive)

Remember The Secret Beanie Baby Scam? (with Tim Kasher of Cursive)

You know Tim Kasher as the frontman for Cursive and The Good Life, but did you know that Tim and his mom were also the masterminds between a secret Beanie Baby scam that saw them selling Ty Bears for thousands of dollars through the Omaha World Herald classified ads? Actually, no, you couldn't—because Tim shares this exclusive story for the first time for HOW DID WE GET WEIRD LISTENERS? From hiding Peace Bears from his co-workers to making backroom deals that the executives at Ty never saw coming, Tim was able to save enough money for Cursive to buy a minivan and tour the country! On this incredible episode, Tim also comes clean about not writing the theme song for "USA Baby," what it was like working at a toy store growing up and why—despite writing some of the most memorable indie songs of the last two decades—he's still searching for validation from a certain high school athlete. Somehow we also play a round of CHANGE DOT DORK where we discuss a Ritz Cracker/Hot Cheetos collab, debate if kids should still learn Cursive in school and wonder if Omaha will ever get their own In-N-Out Burger franchise. Don't forget to check out Tim and Gwynedd Stuart's amazing trivia podcast "Musical Puke" and keep an eye out for screenings for Tim's horror film "Who's Watching" in your town soon!
