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.
