AD BREAK 2

Let's take a journey to the Neighborhood of Too Much Information! Jordan and Alex go  deep on the secular saint known as Fred Rogers, tracing his early years as a bullied rich kid to his ascent to the benevolent king of children's television. You'll learn about his oddly beautiful obsession with his weight, the time he danced around the set with a sex doll, the hidden message behind his trademark cardigans, and his under-appreciated musical brilliance. You'll also learn how he single-handedly saved PBS, paved the way for Netflix, and gave early breaks to Michael Keaton and 'Day of the Dead' horror icon George Romero. And, in a series first, you'll hear how Fred's unconditional love and kindness turns the TMI guys into weepy children. Get ready for 'Too Much Information — Oops, All Sobs!' edition.
