🎙️ Get Dispensed: The PEZ Podcast – Episode 32 - Vintage Finds, Skull Armies & the Zonker Confession – Stephen Mullin
G’day PEZ Posse! In this episode, we’re heading to Cincinnati, Ohio, to meet listener-turned-guest Stephen Mullin — a vintage collector, marketer, and one-time rock-and-roll frontman who also happens to own one of the largest vintage Skull Armies in the PEZiverse. 💀✨
Stephen shares how a family connection reignited his love of collecting after a long pause, and why he prefers living on the “edge” of the PEZ community rather than right in the middle of it. We also dive into:
🎸 From frontman to flea markets — how music and PEZ collide in Stephen’s story
🛍️ Legendary finds, including a $40 cello jackpot in Boston
💀 What makes the vintage Skull so irresistible (and how his army grew so large)
😱 The infamous Zonker confession about his childhood headless dispensers
🌍 Life near Jungle Jim’s and decades of attending PEZamania
🕰️ The future of PEZ collecting, seen through the eyes of a vintage hunter
It’s a conversation full of surprises, laughter, and some of the quirkiest tales yet from the PEZ Posse. Whether you’re chasing grails, building armies, or just smiling at the memories, this one’s for you.
