Talking Trubbish

We took a week off, we got sick, and we came back with way too much to talk about. A doctor visit that went completely sideways. A Las Vegas rabbit hole that will genuinely mess with you. And a deep dive into the Pokemon vendor content scene that somehow turns into a full business conversation.Mole People Video!https://youtu.be/7MkAs99O1LQOUR DISCORD IS LIVE!!! WE GOT AN ALBUM ON Apple Music & Spotify NOW!!!Subscribe to our Youtube @TalkingTrubbishEmail us your stories or [email protected]:00-00:35 -- Cold open / theme00:35-02:30 -- Jacob's return from being sick02:30-07:00 -- Doctor visit story: the Hanta virus diagnosis that wasn't07:00-11:30 -- Jacob's defense: "I'm a nerd, I don't go anywhere"11:30-16:00 -- Blood work fasting debate + fasting vs non-fasting accuracy16:00-20:00 -- Childhood medicine ruined cherry and grape forever / red Gatorade panic20:00-23:00 -- Hernia checks -- do they still do those? / inconsistency in healthcare23:00-27:00 -- Jacob's grandmother and COVID death misclassification27:00-28:05 -- Wrapping the health spiral, Jacob knocking on wood28:05-32:30 -- Matthew introduces: the Las Vegas mole people32:30-37:00 -- The tunnel system -- seven floors, flood survivors, and people who never see daylight37:00-42:30 -- The lower levels: shadow figures, gray skin, nobody goes deeper42:30-47:00 -- Coping with the week: Smitty, LFG content, and Pokemon vendor POVs47:00-52:00 -- BearDad, Coop's Collections, Pokeshon -- who does it right, who overdoes it52:00-55:00 -- DJI Pocket 4 tariff situation + Jacob's vending ambitions55:00-58:29 -- Vending as a business model: content, monetization, and why enjoyment is the whole thing Hosted on Acast.

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.

Matthew's week included a movie that wrecked him in the best possible way, a live-action rant that Hollywood has had coming for a while, a ghost encounter in the baby aisle of a Target at 9pm, and a car curse that has been building for years and finally has receipts. Jacob's here, he has thoughts, and this one goes places. Buckle Up!OUR DISCORD IS LIVE!!! WE GOT AN ALBUM ON Apple Music & Spotify NOW!!!Subscribe to our Youtube @TalkingTrubbishEmail us your stories or [email protected]:00-02:10 Jacob and Matthew check in on the week02:10-09:15 Project Hail Mary -- Matthew makes a tearful case for the best movie he's seen in two years09:15-12:05 Dragon Ball Evolution, live-action anime, and why 2009 was a warning12:05-17:40 Disney live-action remakes -- Lion King, Mulan, and the Mushu erasure rant17:40-21:35 Aladdin gets defended, Eddie Murphy gets his flowers, The Rock and Moana21:35-24:45 The baby aisle TikTok scandal and weird product packaging24:45-29:15 The haunted Target -- Matthew gets grabbed by something that wasn't there29:15-34:45 The car curse begins -- three totaled vehicles, the pattern, the bad luck timeline34:45-43:00 The 2018 Hyundai Sonata, the oil leak, and the six-month Hyundai appointment saga43:00-46:35 Blizzard breakdown on a road trip, the mechanic who helped for free, knock sensor explained46:35-55:05 Cylinder misfire, the Hyundai recall rabbit hole, and the free engine Matthew almost had55:05-01:01:15 Selling sealed Pokemon to cover car costs, the new card shop, Phantasmal Flames market update01:01:15-01:03:15 Jacob's Hyundai/trade-in tip, used car advice, wrap-up Hosted on Acast.

Matthew thought he was 36. Turns out he's 35. Which means his resume is also wrong now. From there, things spiral into 20 years (well, 19) of video editing, the neon sign job that low-key birthed the Talking Trubbish thumbnail aesthetic, and a deep dive into Jacob's life on the other side of the hiring desk. The guys swap white-collar vs blue-collar war stories, talk about the people who fake it till they make it, the people who walk in late and lie about doctor's appointments, and why "overqualified" is sometimes a polite way of saying "everyone else hated working with you." Plus a real conversation about handling assholes at work, what separates a good leader from a bad one, and Jacob's whole philosophy on building positions that didn't exist until he made them.OUR DISCORD IS LIVE!!! WE GOT AN ALBUM ON Apple Music & Spotify NOW!!!Subscribe to our Youtube @TalkingTrubbishEmail us your stories or [email protected]:33-02:35 Cold open on the time-blur of being an adult and how editing forces Matthew to actually confront real dates02:35-04:25 Pokemon as the thing that keeps you feeling young, plus the "what our parents had at this age vs what we have" tangent04:25-08:15 Matthew's lore drop: the neon sign clock job at age 15 that became his first paid gig and inspired the Talking Trubbish thumbnail aesthetic08:15-09:45 Matthew realizes mid-pod that he's been telling everyone he's 36 when he's actually 3509:45-13:00 Jacob talks reading resumes for a living and how AI users start spotting other AI users13:00-15:20 Fake it till you make it, business from the waist up, and the Zoom interview etiquette PSA15:20-19:00 The bar for "presentable" on a resume and why effort matters more than format19:00-23:30 The overqualified problem: why Jacob passes on people who look too good on paper and forwards them to other departments instead23:30-27:00 Matthew pushes back: what about laid-off people just trying to land somewhere?

Matthew said he was willing to eat his words on One Piece. Consider them eaten.After finally watching the Netflix live action, and immediately looking at his girlfriend and going "next episode", Matthew brings his full list of questions, hot takes, and genuine emotional reactions to Jacob and returning guest Robbie (BlindCraziness), two of the biggest One Piece fans in the room.They break down why the live action actually works (spoiler: Oda had a stranglehold on every casting decision and every scene), which actors fully become their characters and why, the philosophy behind Luffy as a main character, and why One Piece might be a story that was never meant for you as a kid. Also: the Kuina stairs meme, Mihawk's absolute big dick energy, Zoro's 100-man fight with a broken finger, and the one scene Jacob bawled his eyes out to.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 Welcome back -- Robbie returns, Matthew has news01:47 Matthew watched the One Piece live action and immediately got hooked04:15 Oda's creative control over the live action, every casting decision, every scene08:06 Breaking down the cast -- Sanji's actor, the YouTube channel, his obsessive prep for the Baratie fight12:17 Usopp's actor versus anime Usopp, Zoro's 100-man fight and the broken finger15:01 Matthew digs into the One Piece mystery -- Gold Roger, what "One Piece" actually means, and how the name was born23:21 Why One Piece didn't land as a kid but hits different as an adult -- the Shanks scene, emotional intelligence, and the show's real tone30:16 How the story and Oda himself have matured over 25+ years -- stakes, socioeconomics, Luffy's design philosophy34:36 Luffy's no-thought-bubble rule, Kuina's death (the meme), Zoro's backstory, and Matthew's plot device theory41:51 Mihawk fandom, favorite characters -- Jacob picks Zoro, Robbie teases the final Straw Hat crew member47:53 Luffy vs. Goku vs. Naruto -- the goofy-but-dangerous main character comparison, Robbie's "I Get Knocked Down" Luffy theory51:56 Garp's early reveal, the art style struggle, and Matthew commits to reading the manga Hosted on Acast.

You're stressed. Your brain is lying to you. And your calendar system is either saving your life or just another app you forgot to check because Instagram got there first.This week Matthew and Jacob get into how time keeps accelerating, why ADHD hits different in your 30s, and the actual tactics they use to manage stress and anxiety before it manages them. Jacob breaks down his physical calendar system, his panic attack at a movie theater, and the $35-40K in debt he was drowning in alone, and what telling his mom finally did for him. Matthew gets real about a breakdown in his kitchen on a Wednesday, picking tennis back up after four years, and why walking 10,000 steps at work isn't the same as actually getting your heart rate up.There's also a conversation about doctors you can trust vs. doctors who just take your money, the placebo effect, social media's role in rewiring your brain, and the first ever listener review of Talking Trubbish.OUR DISCORD IS LIVE!!! WE GOT AN ALBUM ON Apple Music & Spotify NOW!!!Subscribe to our Youtube @TalkingTrubbishEmail us your stories or [email protected]:00–01:10 Intro / how fast 2026 is moving01:10–04:55 Jacob's physical wall calendar system and the discipline behind it04:55–07:10 Phone calendars, app rabbit holes, and ADHD-fueled distraction07:10–09:30 Learning styles, finding your own system, and government red tape09:30–11:20 Apple's reminder app rant and what a better notification system would look like11:20–13:40 Matthew getting officially diagnosed for ADHD, why it gets worse at 3013:40–16:50 Kids don't care about labels, how society plants seeds in your head16:50–19:00 Facebook and YouTube lawsuit: platforms designed to addict children19:00–22:10 How social media accentuates ADHD without causing it22:10–25:25 The placebo effect explained, including the non-alcoholic beer experiment25:25–27:00 WebMD-ing yourself into a spiral, finding doctors you can actually trust27:00–30:50 Window shopping for therapists, you're allowed to leave30:50–32:55 Jacob's sour candy anxiety trick and outdoor walks without headphones32:55–38:00 Matthew's week: stress at an 11, crying in the kitchen, picking up tennis38:00–41:50 Physical exertion as mental reset, how exercise helps you see problems clearly41:50–45:00 Distraction as anxiety management, different techniques for different brains45:00–45:55 Brief transparency note about returning topics45:55–47:50 First ever Talking Trubbish listener review, Lemmy Rio, five stars47:50–52:15 Jacob's debt story: $35-40K, secret anxiety attack, telling his mom52:15–55:56 Final thoughts on talking to someone you trust, stress triggers (shopping, overeating), and closing Hosted on Acast.

Easter eggs, childhood street freedom, and somehow... AI. Yeah, it's that kind of episode.Jacob and Matthew start the week catching up on Easter nostalgia and the very real theory that your parents invented the loot box. From there it's a free-flowing conversation about what's changed between generations — why kids are going back outside, why phone calls feel like emergencies now, and why the passive-aggressive period in a text can start a war.Then they get into it. This is Part 1 of what's going to be an ongoing series on AI — not the fear, not the hype, just how two regular people are actually using these tools in their day-to-day lives. Matthew breaks down how he uses Claude and ChatGPT for podcast production, legal contract reviews, taxes, and building websites. Jacob shares how he uses it for personal growth and why he always reviews before he copies and pastes. Together they make a pretty clear case: love it or hate it, this stuff isn't going away, and now's the time to figure out where it fits in your life.OUR DISCORD IS LIVE!!! WE GOT AN ALBUM ON Apple Music & Spotify NOW!!!Subscribe to our Youtube @TalkingTrubbishEmail us your stories or [email protected]:00-02:10 – Welcome back / time flying, work grind, Jacob heading to Orlando for the regional02:10-04:02 – Easter egg hunting as the original loot box04:02-08:31 – Playing outside as a kid, the streetlight rule, and childhood autonomy08:31-11:01 – Why kids are going back outside — Matthew's content creator theory on authenticity cycles11:01-12:31 – The return of the uncut walk-and-talk vlog format / less polish = more appeal12:31-14:25 – MrBeast discourse: authentic vs. performed personality14:25-15:04 – Matthew on being introverted vs. social / Jacob on energy levels and sparking conversation15:04-17:03 – "If you're amazing at a job you hate, how good would you be at one you love?"

The guys are recording on fumes and somehow that’s when things get real. What starts as roller coaster stories and fear of heights bounces through Spirit Airlines horror, carnival ride fatalities, and Matthew’s legs giving out completely after a rip cord ride, before landing somewhere unexpected: Matthew opening up about a brutal breakup that shut him down creatively for nearly a decade and what it feels like to still be playing catch-up. Jacob wrote things down this time so they didn’t lose the thread, Culver’s gets a second chance with a full ratings breakdown, and the episode closes with a first-time weed story that ends exactly where you’d hope, face-deep in the best Oreos of his life.OUR DISCORD IS LIVE!!! WE GOT AN ALBUM ON Apple Music & Spotify NOW!!!Subscribe to our Youtube @TalkingTrubbishEmail us your stories or [email protected]:00-00:48 Cold open + theme song00:48-01:18 Intro — "fake it till you make it" energy, both running on empty01:18-05:18 Roller coasters, fear of heights, and things Jacob did for a girl at 1805:18-08:54 Matthew's nose, a kid who said something cruel, and body self-consciousness08:54-11:36 Adrenaline junkies — Matthew wants the front cart, Jacob just wants to survive11:36-15:50 Michigan Adventure rip cord: Matthew's legs stopped working for five minutes15:50-19:36 Spirit Airlines horror stories and the plane that shook apart on landing19:36-21:11 Carnival rides and why pop-up carnivals are a hard no21:11-22:05 Carnival food, the one reason Jacob actually goes22:05-23:55 Culver's round two preview — Jacob's back and he did the research this time23:55-28:25 Captain Underpants, reading books vs. pictures, and how Matthew's brain works like a projector28:25-31:05 Matthew's habit of cutting people off mid-sentence — and why his brain won't stop31:05-32:35 Taking compliments, deflecting, and the difference between humility and shame32:35-37:35 The decade Matthew stopped creating — a breakup, a creative shutdown, and what it means to feel behind37:35-40:35 Still playing catch-up: editing three videos and still feeling like nothing got done40:35-46:10 The rocket launcher button — road rage, empathy, and what changes when you realize you don't know what someone's going through46:10-53:20 Culver's round two full breakdown: chicken tenders, cheese curds, Oreo custard, ratings, and why Wisconsin burgers just aren't hitting53:20-55:22 Post Malone Oreos and the coworker candy stash55:22-58:15 The Oreo dipping debate — bowl vs. glass, double stuff discourse, and Jacob's "just two more" lie58:15-01:00:30 Matthew's first weed experience: army crawling down a hallway, and discovering what the best Oreos of his life taste like Hosted on Acast.

Matthew walked into a Pokemon card shop event and walked out with a story you have to hear. Main player energy was on a different level this week. The guys debate chocolate, Pepsi vs. Coke, and why everything at the store is getting smaller while the price goes up. Then it gets real: what are card shops actually paying for the product they're selling you?

Meet BlindCraziness. He's legally blind, competitively plays Pokemon Go at the regional level, has 20/200 vision, and chose the hardest possible path in gaming on purpose. In this episode, Robbie joins Matthew and Jacob for an unfiltered conversation about what it's actually like to compete with a visual impairment, why One Piece filler hits different than Naruto filler, how a sensory deprivation tank changed his perspective, and why he's spent 46,000+ encounters hunting a single shiny Lotad. We also get into Pokemon Sun & Moon's surprisingly mature storyline, the infamous chess cheating scandal, and the moment Matthew finally understands a joke that went completely over his head for a full 6 minutes later...

Matthew finally caved and saw a chiropractor after six months of not being able to turn his neck — and what happened on that table needs to be heard to be believed. The guys get into finding doctors worth trusting, the body falling apart after 30, and managing anxiety on your own terms.

The guys kick things off with a Culver’s grand opening food breakdown before spiraling into Instagram ad paranoia, doomscrolling psychology, and the strange timing of conspiracy narratives around Jim Carrey, Ghislaine Maxwell and the Epstein documents. They move from Obama’s alien comments to Star Trek utopian dreams and pyramid engineering debates, ending with a Google autocomplete moment that feels just unsettling enough to make you question everything.Full Interview With Obama HereOUR DISCORD IS LIVE!!! WE GOT AN ALBUM ON Apple Music & Spotify NOW!!!Subscribe to our Youtube @TalkingTrubbishEmail us your stories or [email protected]:00–03:14 Cold Open Chaos & Brain That Won’t Shut Up03:14–12:42 Culver’s Grand Opening Frenzy & Full Food Review12:42–17:25 Are Instagram Ads Listening to Us?17:25–20:31 Doomscrolling, Curiosity & Algorithm Manipulation20:31–21:39 Habit Burger Tangent & Ad Targeting Proof21:39–26:04 Jim Carrey “Replaced” Theory & Grinch Reunion Pics26:04–30:37 Ghislaine Maxwell Swap Talk & Epstein Draft Weirdness30:37–36:12 Biden Reboot Jokes & Media Content Machines36:12–37:28 The Origin of “Conspiracy Theorist” & Social Punishment37:28–42:51 Obama on Aliens & The Existential Fallout42:51–45:30 Star Trek Future Dreams & Science should exceed Military Spending45:30–50:17 Pyramids, Precision Engineering & Alien Assistance Debate50:17–51:53 Chaotic Outro.

Matthew and Jacob do a high-level rundown of the Epstein files and how the fallout is melting people’s trust in institutions, then zoom out into why conspiracy culture sticks when accountability feels optional. The conversation bounces between the “conspiracy pyramid,” online discourse control theories, UFOs and tech acceleration, AI safety panic, money and wealth brain-rot, and ends with a simple challenge to do one intentional act of kindness this week.Click to view the Conspiracy Pyramid!OUR DISCORD IS LIVE!!! WE GOT AN ALBUM ON Apple Music & Spotify NOW!!!Follow us on X @TalkTrubbishPodSubscribe to our Youtube @TalkingTrubbishEmail us your stories or [email protected]:00–03:35 Worldview whiplash, conspiracies feeling “less fake,” and pulling up the conspiracy pyramid03:36–06:10 “Detached from reality” tier: QAnon, deep state, Pizzagate, adrenochrome and the messiness of “truthy” vibes06:11–08:33 Ghislaine Maxwell Reddit theory: “MaxwellHill,” timing coincidences, and influence over discourse08:34–12:20 Why conspiracy culture sticks: gaslighting, institutions, and “this isn’t a party issue”12:21–15:10 UFO/UAP talk, info overload, and being too tired to tap out15:11–17:10 Accountability rage: redactions, officials downplaying, and fear about releasing the episode17:11–19:25 Education systems and “Rockefeller cycle” as a bigger systems rant19:26–21:40 Tech acceleration and the “aliens nudged the tech tree” theory21:41–26:10 Internet as a “communication dimension” and the existential crisis moment26:11–30:10 Other countries reacting to the U.S., plus “countries that pay you to move”30:11–33:10 Where you’d live if you had to: home comfort vs cultural variety33:11–37:40 Social media toxicity, anti-regulation anger, and the Grok/XAI freakout37:41–40:15 Elon + Epstein island email jokes and the “Christmas message” absurdity40:16–44:30 Money doesn’t buy happiness, debt as the anchor, and wealth hoarding criticism44:31–56:06 Good rich people examples, friendship reality-checks, intellectual challenge, and the “do one kind act” closer Hosted on Acast.

Jacob and Matthew start 2026 by tweaking their theme song and geeking out over LED strip lights, mispronounced names, and the price of building a gaming‑room shrine to Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle. The chat quickly dives into anime rabbit holes — Pokémon magazine art, One Piece’s Wano arc, Dragon Ball’s god forms, and favorite characters — with detours into soccer manga, Solo Leveling, and how manga budgets compare to trading‑card splurges. They round things out with boozy holiday games, a marathon road trip story, and plans to bring video, streaming and more organized chaos to Talking Trubbish in the year ahead.OUR DISCORD IS LIVE!!! WE GOT AN ALBUM ON Apple Music & Spotify NOW!!!Follow us on X @TalkTrubbishPodSubscribe to our Youtube @TalkingTrubbishEmail us your stories or [email protected]:36–02:45 Theme tweak talk and the closet-studio upgrades.02:45–04:09 Gaming room “simple upgrades” and how fast the costs pile up.04:09–08:07 Name pronunciation spirals: Elise/Alice and “white brain” decoding.08:07–11:01 Siri blurts Jacob’s name and everybody gets mildly spooked.11:01–15:27 Hue vs Govee and the LED ecosystem headache.15:27–19:29 Pokémon Time magazine covers, framing, and wall-display flexing.19:29–32:50 One Piece binge talk and Gear 5 hype with power-up comparisons.32:50–39:58 Favorite characters and the Itachi appreciation segment.39:58–45:36 Boruto nerf rage and the Two Blue Vortex talk.45:36–49:40 Blue Lock thoughts and the Whistle sports manga shoutout.49:40–58:13 Solo Leveling praise and arguing what counts as “great anime.”58:13–01:07:54 Christmas game traditions and the brother New York-to-Florida drive.

Matthew recaps going to Comic-Con and why the vibe feels way better than Pokémon tournament crowds, even when the prices are insane. They jump from collector self-control and impossible-to-find manga volumes to the Funko market crashing, Yu-Gi-Oh pops, and a surprisingly serious spiral into masculinity, Andrew Tate, and whether holding the door for people is secretly becoming a lost art.OUR DISCORD IS LIVE!!!

Jacob starts telling this weird story about Amazon recommending tripod sprinkler setups, and somehow it turns into both of them doubling down on Pokémon investing like it’s their retirement plan.

Jacob breaks down the whole Bad Bunny Super Bowl drama, and it spirals into a debate about hype culture, FOMO, and why people get weird about artists they don’t understand.

Jacob’s showing off his gaming room setup, and Matthew’s brain is lagging so hard he can’t even process TV sizes without short-circuiting mid-sentence.
