    The One About Itachi, Gear 5, & the LED Budget Funeral

    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.

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.
