• Why physical therapy is saving Joe’s neck (literally)

• Confessions about stuffed animals, hoarding pillows, and Star Trek loyalty

• And yes… multiple stories about nude beaches (again, yep—really)

Plus: why vintage books still suck, the psychology of collections, and what it means to auction off someone’s lifetime.

🔥 Topics Covered:

• Rookie team perspectives after nearly 2 years on the job

• Stimming with stuffed animals and hoarding childhood comforts

• Joe’s nudist beach history and running into clients in the buff

• Evolving photography, auction platforms, and pricing post-pandemic
