We explore the world of Pokemon card investing , TJ’s unique Mario impressions , and Matthew’s wild story about a date that literally broke the furniture . The conversation gets deep as we tackle the philosophy of the afterlife , the ethics of modern family planning, and the "math" behind a long night out. Stay until the end for a final moment between TJ and Shannon that is absolute chaos.
