The Neuroscience of Decluttering and the Revenge of the Sith('s Lightsaber)
Description
David and Ryan are joined by exactly no one to discuss the New York Times article on the neuroscience of clutter and collecting and how those two things so closely intersect in our little ape brains (and what you can do to help let go). Then the guys address the big gorilla in the room--the return of the Darth Vader hero fighting lightsaber to auction. This astonishing/amazing/incredible piece, last sold by Propstore for almost three million dollars in their summer 2025 EMLA... LA auction, has made a surprising boomerang return and is going under hammer again, this time at Heritage Auctions' November Star Wars sale. Which begs the three-million dollar question: will David, or won't he? You want this... don't you? Ryan can feel the hate swelling in David now..."
