Ever since he was a little boy, John Zanardi loved Barbie dolls but was too ashamed to admit it.

That is until the age of 18, when he moved out on his own and started collecting them. Today he\u2019s amassed over a thousand dolls, estimated to be worth something between 30 and 40 thousand dollars.

Today John Zanardi joins us to talk about his magnificent obsession- collecting Barbie dolls, and why some gay men seem to obsess over these toys marketed to little girls.

Listen as we talk about some more unusual Barbie dolls, Stanley the Barbie Man, Barbie\u2019s breakup with Ken, The BLO, Ken\u2019s cock ring and more amazing but true facts about this iconic American toy.

I\u2019m not sure why people got so upset over Ken\u2019s c*ck ring, it\u2019s not like he has any genitals to put it on.
