“I have always been into it, but recently, it has gotten popular to the point like people want to watch it. So I have always enjoyed this.”

The entire group also talked about their childhood love for the cards, which involved binders and trading with their friends. Nadeshot even talked about his personal collection that had some cool cards but lost them.

Tyler considers the Pokemon cards a valuable item whose value will skyrocket in a few years, but he said that unboxing packs are a loss-making process at the moment.

Tyler and Marcel’s friendship with Evan “VanossGaming” Fong is the stuff of legends. They have made countless videos together on different games, and during the podcast, the crew talked about him. Marcel revealed that during Vegas trips, everyone lost their money on gambling, while Evan, being the smart guy that he is, bet once and stopped after that.

Tyler also revealed a hilarious incident between his father and Evan, when he showed the fake bricks of cash he keeps behind some paintings at his house in LA.

“He’s got a dope place and in his living room, he’s got these paintings on the walls and he can press a button and flip up and there’s TVs behind it with consoles connected so you can play games together.”
