On this week's show, we kick off with some of our favorite autumn traditions and morning routines. Then we delve into the enduring appeal of cards as a medium for games, collectibles, and artifacts that connect us to our past. We look up some prices of original Garbage Pail Kids, chat about fine dining etiquette, and try to convince Shane to buy video games in Japan. We wrap with a chat about the future of Tik Tok and how it might resemble the social media lifecycle we've witnessed over the last 20 years.
