$1M Trading Cards Heist, Trevor Milton Returns, The Death Of Common Courtesy | Diet TBPN

The episode centers on two aviation stories and a broader complaint about what flying has become. First is the PSA heist: thieves broke into a FedEx truck parked outside PSA’s California headquarters and allegedly stole nearly $1 million of graded trading cards, with the hosts arguing that leaving the truck unattended for 60 to 90 minutes made the whole thing feel preventable. They also discuss how PSA deactivated the certification numbers and how compensation may be limited by collectors’ insurance choices.

The other major business story is Trevor Milton’s return through a private jet venture. The hosts walk through the long history of the aircraft program Milton acquired, emphasizing that it already had FAA certification and had consumed more than $700 million in development. Their skepticism is aimed less at the plane itself than at Milton’s pitch: instead of simply selling a certified jet, he is pushing a broader, more ambitious platform that they think may not be compelling to buyers.

The rest of the episode turns into a flight etiquette debate. They argue about loud phone use, seat negotiations, window shades, and whether airlines should auction seats and amenities. United’s CEO Scott Kirby also comes up as he argues fares may need to rise further, while Mercedes’ 1,153-horsepower electric SUV is dismissed as an impressive but likely difficult product in a tough market.
