Introducing Tough Cookie: The Wally “Famous” Amos Story

Meet Wally Amos. He founded the ubiquitous Famous Amos Chocolate Chip Cookies in 1975, turning the brand into an overnight sensation and himself into a pop-culture fixture in the 1970s and 1980s. But there’s a darker side to Wally’s seemingly sweet story. One filled with five marriages to six women and a string of bad business decisions that led him to lose the empire he had created. When he passed away in 2024, host Sarah Amos set out to untangle her father’s complicated past and finally face the life and legacy she had been avoiding.

Sad to see it go!

I listened most when the hosts reviewed AJLT, Succession and True Detective S4. I really enjoyed the episode breakdowns and looked forward to listening every week! The hosts are funny and I love to hear writers break down tv shows with their expertise and humor. I was looking so forward to the next season of AJLT just because of this podcast and now I am sad. They did lose me on Regime- I love Kate Winslet-I just could not get into that show. I hope this podcast can come back!!

Just finished Fellow Travelers and shocked that you guys haven’t reviewed it—huge missed opportunity! Please at least do a couple of episodes on the series 🙏🏽 Also surprised you haven’t touched Queen Charlotte since it’s such a rich accessory to the Bridgerton universe. Please get these in the queue!! Love what you’re doing; so enjoy this podcast.
