   The Las Vegas Mole People & Pokemon Vendor Observations

   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.

   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.
