Episode notes
Holding Sealed Pokémon Boxes
- Guz shares his Pokémon-card habit: booster boxes bought in lockdown rose massively in value.
- He keeps sealed boxes for long-term value and resists opening them despite temptation.
Cars As An Aspirational Obsession
- Guz links his love of cars to growing up without them, framing automotive fascination as aspirational.
- That childhood distance makes owning and restoring cars emotionally meaningful to him.
Skip Late-Night Gig Feasts
- Avoid constant late-night post-gig feasting because it causes 'food hangovers' and health decline.
- Prioritize sleep and sensible meals after shows to prevent next-day lethargy and worsening habits.
