I Can’t Live Another Day Without Air Conditioning

In this segment, Fro and Jack discuss the infamous Sears air conditioning commercial from the 1990s.

Seth Green’s NFT Stolen in Phishing Scam

During this segment, Jack reminds Fro of his slight disdain towards actor Seth Green. The victim of a phishing scam, Green lost ownership of an NFT cartoon ape that was to star in a television series, thus putting the show’s development in jeopardy. This whole conundrum does not help Fro nor Jack further understand the concept of NFTs.

Elsewhere, Jack and Fro discuss the value of Pokemon cards. Fro learns that first edition cards can rack up quite a bit of money these days. Meanwhile, Jack reminisces about his not-so-rare Mew card, and how it was easier to obtain that versus getting the Pokemon itself in the original video games games.
