The Saxophone Short King & How We're Cashing Out on Pokemon

This week starts with a concert story and ends up somewhere way more interesting. Jacob and Matthew get into vulnerability, what it means to stop protecting yourself from your own weaknesses, and why a random opening act might be the most memorable part of a night you almost forgot to show up to. Plus there's a Pokemon TCG conversation with actual numbers behind it, the kind that make you rethink what you're doing with your money!OUR DISCORD IS LIVE!!! WE GOT AN ALBUM ON Apple Music & Spotify NOW!!!Subscribe to our Youtube @TalkingTrubbishEmail us your stories or [email protected]:00-01:43 Welcome back / Jacob's habit of saving pod topics and forgetting them01:44-03:03 Matthew's week / car situation update, switching cars with his girl03:03-07:00 Completely forgetting about a concert he bought tickets for a year ago07:01-10:05 Scouting the venue, back problems, standing-only panic10:05-18:10 Opening act New Constellation blows the doors off / the singer's mid-set anxiety attack and why it hit different18:10-29:00 Vulnerability and the Eminem 8 Mile philosophy / owning your weaknesses before someone else can use them29:01-32:22 Pink hair, short kings, the 4'11" saxophone player with BDE, Tom Cruise height lore from Michigan film shoots32:23-35:48 Pokemon TCG investment update: selling the Phantasmal Flames haul (25% ROI on booster box, 63% on ETBs in four months)35:49-41:06 The Menards tip / vendor math on 200 ETBs / who Matthew sold to and why41:07-43:12 Target Pokemon merch fights / Jacob's three-count investment rule breakdown43:13-50:15 ETB vs booster box strategy, long-term holds, the 2027 North Carolina printing facility and what it means for the market50:16-54:32 Logan Paul discovers manga / why manga grading is mostly cooked / Matthew's Shaman King grail54:33-58:45 No resell market for manga (yet) / Magic the Gathering tease: Spider-Man launching dinosaurs at people Hosted on Acast.
