0:02Marsh Mist Bars Hello? It's me, Marsh Mist Bars. I'm just stopping by to say congratulations to the Bitcoin Bugle because they've been smoking cigs and stacking podcasts for the last year. They got one of them strategic podcast reserves at this point, you know? Y'all think Linaldin is hot. You should check out their fucking hot streak from the Bitcoin Bugle.

0:24Marsh Mist Bars It's one to be reckoned with. They're all out there playing five d chess while we're all stuck in fucking four d mode or some shit, you know? It's like they're Dennis Porter's Dennis Porter or some shit, you know? I mean, I have my fucking life when I listen to this shit, you know? You have to go read, have you listened to that shit, you know? I mean, they asked me to do this fucking recording. I'm like, what the fuck am I even gonna say? You know? I mean, I'm like, listen, fuck. It's fucking I'm screwing it up right now. I'm gonna go fucking listen to people. Fuck this shit.

0:55Unknown Yeah. Yeah. That's why I fucked this up. Fuck.

1:02Kaylee Welch Hey, guys. This is Kaylee Welch. I just wanna say I'm sorry I've been gone for a while, but I'm back for the one year anniversary of the Bugle Weekly. Maybe sometime soon I'll get into the reasons why I left. It was due to some personal reasons, but now those issues are handled. All that matters now is that I'm here and I'm ready to help Rod and Richard take the Bugle to the next level. I wanted to start out the show by sharing some testimonials we received from people weekly fans. Before we get into that, I just wanted to say, fuck PodCon, smoke Marlboros, and listen to forty hours of Bitcoin podcasts a week.

1:35Fundamentals Hey, guys. Fundamentals here. Wanna congratulate you on a year a year of the bugle and, really just thank you. Thank you guys for coming together and doing what you do. It meant so much to me from the first first time I heard you guys. I didn't know who you were. I just heard the show, and

1:59Fundamentals the lights came on for me. Like, oh my god. Something great now exists. Something really great exists in the universe and I was really really happy about it. It's probably like the way a lot of people feel when they see like Lynn Alden or Dennis Porter orange pill people and they just see what's possible for themselves. And that was definitely my experience hearing you guys but more so you guys really, you guys really spoke to my soul. You gave me

2:30Fundamentals music, comedy and ultimately friendship. And, you know, since since really getting to know you guys, I've taken a big leap forward in what I'm giving to the world, and it's all because of what I see possible

2:47Fundamentals as a result of you guys being around and being in my corner and just building together. So, I'm so appreciative to know you guys, to have you guys in my life, to be building with you, and I see nothing but open road ahead of us, and I'm really, really excited about it. Congrats.

3:10Steven Luca This is Steven Luca, head of private clients at Swan. The Bugle Weekly has been one of the most important developments in journalism and news in the Bitcoin space. Their hard hitting and no holds barred reporting has helped us all understand

3:30Steven Luca what the Bitcoin industry is truly about.

3:34Rob Hamilton This is Rob Hamilton, cofounder and CEO of Anchor Watch. Happy birthday, Bugle, one year old. It's really an incredible time in the Bitcoin industry, because of true, you know, bleeding edge journalism

3:50Rob Hamilton that you guys are able to put on every week. It's really an inspiration to everyone building in the space to see someone who's able to leverage the properties of sound money and thermodynamically, engineered podcasts to be able to really extend the reach. And while there are many fake journalists out there like Shinobi, it's it's good to see that there are, hard hitting journalists

4:12Rob Hamilton like, Rod Palmer and Dick Greaser that are really, pushing the frontier forward.

4:18Sly Guma This is Sly Guma, prolific Bitcoin Tweeter and top tier Bitcoin podcaster. I wanna congratulate the Bugle Weekly on 52,500 blocks of Bitcoin podcasts produced. The space is much more thermodynamically

4:35Sly Guma sound with Rod Palmer and Dick Greaser leading the way of the news and stories that matter. Congrats, guys, and keep up the good work.

4:46Unknown I mean, let's just talk about the bugle for a second

4:49Unknown here. Yeah. Yeah. Avi. Avi. Yeah. Let's celebrate the one year anniversary of Bugle Weekly podcast, a truly groundbreaking work in media and journalism, and some would even say performance art. Aren't you amazed at the constant stream of celebrities they're able to attract, such as Joe Rogan, Donald Trump, Morgan Freeman, and Party Ben?

5:14Unknown Well, k w, they are certainly shining a light on the most important issues in Bitcoin, such as the trials and tribulations of Dennis Porter's hero's journey to attain NGU at all costs and whether some guy called Shinobi

5:34Unknown is hot or not. Bitcoin podcasting has never been the same since the Bugle Weekly came out of the scene. I would strongly urge our listeners to tune into their show. And ideally, and if you haven't done so already, I would ideally do so by listening to forty hours per week.

5:54Richard Greaser Welcome to this very special edition of the Beacon Weekly. This is Rich Greaser. You probably know that by now, but we're probably having some people tune in for the very first time. The Bugle is getting a lot of attention this week due to Maxi Madness. But on this podcast, the the most thermodynamically sound podcast in the entire

6:19Richard Greaser ecosystem of Bitcoin podcast, done by exceptionally credentialed journalists, This is a very special episode. This is the one year anniversary of the Bugle Weekly. And I think we have successfully in the past year, Rod, we have changed the entire landscape of Bitcoin podcasting

6:41Richard Greaser dramatically.

6:41Rod Palmer Right. Right. We started out talking about, you know, last spring talking about compliance and had it was time to stop putting up with the noncompliance of the government and then, you know, but we were the ones that needed to be compliant.

7:01Rod Palmer It wasn't a two way street. So we decided to go on a compliance strike in the month of May, and then we out complied the government. We reported that Bitcoin has already won. We reported on the bull market, and we we we set the stage for the, like, the post PodConf

7:21Rod Palmer environment that we live in today, where PodConf doesn't have the same control

7:26Richard Greaser that they used to. Yes. In many ways, we've decentralized podcasting, which has been Exactly. We created a movement. We've created multiple movements over the last, year with doing the podcast. We have the 40 HPW

7:43Richard Greaser movement. We've got, we you know, I think a lot of people were struggling with being proud of being Bitcoin podcasters. They had some podcaster guilt. We've really combated that pretty dramatically. We brought pride back to being a Bitcoin podcaster. We have,

8:03Rod Palmer we created Yeah. I think I think the Bitcoin podcasters were shy, and we helped Bitcoin podcasters stop being shy. We helped them stop being shy. We,

8:14Richard Greaser we created, the intellectual silk road. That was a big movement. Probably one of the most important movements. I mean, we we've created, you know, while we're on friendlier terms with Podkoff, like, we we moved the needle pretty significantly with Podkoff. They've realized the importance

8:35Richard Greaser of playing ball with us. You know, before they tried to not take us seriously, and then they tried to come after us and and change our behavior. But we are standing victorious right now where Podkoff has actually bent the knee to us. They bent the knee to the intellectual.

8:56Richard Greaser They're they're recognizing us for our accomplishments. So anybody that's criticizing us for working with Podkomp, you have to recognize and see that we're really the ones that control. And like Mars said in the intro,

9:14Richard Greaser you know, everybody's out here playing four d chess. We're we're out here playing five d chess, just running the tables. Sure. Right. Because,

9:22Rod Palmer essentially, you know, a lot of people have given us credit that I don't think we deserve, over the past year. So, they said that we've like discovered or excuse me, they said that we, you know, created PodComp they said that we created, you know, this idea that Bitcoin had already won they say that,

9:43Rod Palmer we created all of these intellectual silk road They said that we, like, created these value for value, economies, but we did and we discovered them. And that's really the power of of discovery. And we tried to, like, sum it up and talk about it, but it's like once you notice the truth,

10:03Rod Palmer you can't solve the the problems that you've noticed by yourself, but you can't force other people to notice the same things that you've noticed. You can show them and some people will notice,

10:18Rod Palmer not everyone will. But once you once you have noticed, once you have discovered the what's real in your reality, that's how you begin to manipulate it. That's how you begin to transact adversarially against it. Cause that is really the solution is to notice. And once you know the truth, once you recognize it and you get good at recognizing it, you can begin to, you know, move one step ahead of the rest of this, you know, monolithic Leviathan that's kinda moving and it's slow. It's like a big bureaucratic machine, but you've escaped from it. You could stay out of it. You're more agile than it.

10:56Richard Greaser Yeah. One one of the things I wanna highlight so, you went on Plugged Chain Radio, last week. Yeah. And, I thought it was a great episode. I would encourage people to go listen to it. You did a lot of Maxi Madness analysis. You talked about, the importance of it, what what all was going on, you know, just some recaps

11:19Richard Greaser of of what was going on. But one of the things I, really appreciated you talking about was, I don't know. I I just just generally remembering where we started because Blockchain was one of the first,

11:35Richard Greaser shows to have both of us on in the beginning. They were one of the the first ones that to have me on, you know, at the start of the bugle. And, it definitely was a reminder of just how far we've come as an organization. And, you know, one of our our chief tenants or or, you know, creeds that we've carried throughout this is the importance of credentials

12:00Richard Greaser in this industry and how how much the credentials can have an impact on the larger industry. And, you know, we're we're working out here. We don't have as many resources as people, but when you combine smoking cigarettes with credentials, you could shift an entire industry. And, like, you know, one of the plug chain the blockchain guys that, you know, they were talking about to be discouraged. They were talking about it, you know, people having too much emphasis on the n g u and, you know, talking about the price going up and and not really being tied into,

12:33Richard Greaser these Cypherpunk principles. And what I think is really important for people to understand is, you know, Podkov and the power that they have, all all they could really do like, they can't shape reality.

12:48Richard Greaser They could just shape people's perspectives of reality. You know, we're the individuals that at the end of the day are shaping the reality. When we go out and we conduct a non KYC cigarette transaction and operate in the value for value economy, and we're practicing good privacy practices and and not using custodial lightning wallets and whatever.

13:14Richard Greaser You know, we're we're shaping the destiny of the future, you know, and PodCon doesn't have control over that scenario. And and there's millions of people doing that on a daily basis, and it's only growing. And,

13:29Richard Greaser you know, this is why part comp is so alarmed is because, you know, people are actually using Bitcoin in the way that it was kinda outlined in in the white paper, which is very inconvenient for the narrative of compliance is defined. You know, we're we're crushing

13:49Richard Greaser that narrative, and I think it's important for, you know, our listeners to remember just the way that their perceptions are being shaped, you know, the platforms that they're using, the way that information's controlled. And you like, you really need credentials on your side. So I feel I feel pretty proud of us right now. What we've done with the show, what we've done with the Beagle as a whole, I think it's it's been a really worthwhile

14:18Richard Greaser endeavor. And you gotta talk about this a lot. Like, my time in the traditional media, how soul crushing it was. And I I feel great. I feel on top of the world, you know, because I'm I'm living out this this Randian philosophy, you know, of being the John Galt of journalism.

14:38Richard Greaser And and I hope, you know, for our listeners that they can experience something similar, you know, doing things that that matter to them. And instead of instead of getting discouraged by, you know, what Podkoff is spewing, to really try and live into what their principles are and do what they feel is is right and necessary regardless of what everybody else is doing, what the TV is telling them, what PodConf approved podcasters are saying, what PodConf approved influencers are are putting on Twitter,

15:12Richard Greaser what the pseudo spoofers, are are doing to to manufacture, consent and narratives. Like, it's like, don't be sad, guys. Bitcoin's already won. We're winning. I think I think just, like, even even achieving a year of doing this podcast is just proof that Bitcoin's winning.

15:34Rod Palmer Yeah. I think the this discouragement, this distraction, this, letting, you know, Donald Trump you know, I warned about this a few months ago that Donald Trump is able to try to change Bitcoin's logo. He's gonna try to put his hair on the Bitcoin logo, because then he would have control over it. He would control the meme and while he didn't literally do that yet,

15:58Rod Palmer he has kind of taken over the the like role as president or like leader of Bitcoin. Like he's created, we're relying on him to create a strategic reserve. The markets, the the NGU is all contingent on what Donald Trump and this and the federal government and the, and the central banks are gonna do and how much Bitcoin they're going to buy and Dennis Porter and trying to get these past at the state level, the strategic Bitcoin reserves. And we were so focused on that that one of the most important aspects

16:33Rod Palmer of of the entire Bitcoin industry in maxi madness, one of the most prestigious tournament. While everybody was distracted watching CNN for their Bitcoin advice, I mean, Twitter shared, you know, this video of mister wonderful talking on Fox News about telling people instead of getting a hardware wallet and watching BTC sessions tutorials, they should just buy it on Coinbase.

16:56Rod Palmer And it's like, that's what we're if that's what people are paying attention to instead of instead of what really matters and and what is the signal. That's how Teddy Bitcoins gets to sweet 16 in Maxi Madness. That's a prestigious round. Like Teddy Bitcoins has taken out very well known, very well respected Bitcoin only, plebs.

17:19Rod Palmer And like that's unacceptable. And like when you stop focusing on solving your problems and your community's problems and building things for yourself and building things for your community, start focusing too much on politics, your Community and your culture rots your life rots

17:37Rod Palmer your network rots. And I think Teddy Bitcoins is proof that we just, we need to take care of our own, like, house. We need to fix our own value for value communities. We need to build the tools that we need to use Bitcoin the way we need to use it. We need to build

17:57Rod Palmer access to always being able to get non KYC cigarettes and and being able to use Nostr. And if you focus on that, I don't see how you can be discouraged because it's just so much progress and there's so much available

18:12Richard Greaser to use and to Orangeville people. There's no excuse to be in Orangeville today. There's just none. Yeah. I mean, the re the reason why we listen to forty hours of Bitcoin podcast a week isn't to get extremely upset because Jason Williams is a shit coiner. Right? The reason why we listen to forty hours of Bitcoin podcast a week is so that we can understand what's going on in the world in order to take care of our families, in order to build our parallel systems we're operating in, in in order to create a better future. That's the purpose of it. Not to not to get lost in the weeds,

18:47Richard Greaser upset about other people, you know, misbehaving. Other people are always misbehaving.

18:53Rod Palmer You you You're not going to be able to go to a family Thanksgiving and not have, you know, a nephew, a cousin, you know, your uncle try to troll you and tell you that XRP is gonna flip into Bitcoin and that XRP is the new technology and that Bitcoin is like so old

19:15Rod Palmer and so out of deep that like the code that they use to build it is is called rust because it's so rusty and old. And that's that first of all, that that's a lie. That was something that meme meme coiners were trolling Pleasure about. It's it's it's a rumor. It's been community noted that Bitcoin is not old, but you just you're never gonna be able to avoid that. But it uses the forty hours of Bitcoin podcast per week. That gives you the conviction and the time preference levels to just not be bothered by it. They're trying to trigger you. They just wanna see you flip out and fucking maybe even block them, you know, like, because then they can, they can basically screenshot it and show everybody else at the dinner table and they're really laugh at you for, for getting mad.

19:59Rod Palmer And it's just to let you it's to let you know that you don't have to do that. That you, you, you don't have time to waste or doing about shitcoiners. You have forty hours of Bitcoin podcast to listen to. You have a community

20:12Richard Greaser to build. You have Bitcoin fixes this. You are fixing things. Yeah. I mean, you you look at and this is why it's important to read Atlas Shrugged twice a year for front to back and to pair that with your forty hours per week, you know, because there's some pretty important lessons. And and I would also suggest the fountain head. The fountain head's definitely, like, a good add to your reading list, but you you look like a a a character in the fountain head like Howard Rourke. You know? He didn't he didn't get upset that other people

20:46Richard Greaser were shit coining. You know what I mean? He he was just out there trying to trying to draw up and and be the best architect that he possibly could. You look at a character like Dagny Taggart.

20:60Richard Greaser You know? She she would've get lost in the weeds and have her day ruined by the fact that Wesley Mouch was out there,

21:10Richard Greaser you know, causing all sort of sort of mayhem in Washington, making her her jaw difficult. She says she's out there trying to solve problems and be certified bad ass.

21:23Richard Greaser I think these are lessons that we could take and apply to our own lives, the best that we can. And, you know, she she was more interested in finding out where,

21:39Richard Greaser where the cigarettes were being made. These these these low time preference, capitalist cigarettes were being made. And this is why I refer to myself as a cigarette capitalist because I think that's that's much more of a a fruitful endeavor to be on than being Twitter's whole monitor like predator.

22:01Richard Greaser You know what I mean? It's we have such limited time in our lives. Our our lives are very short.

22:10Rod Palmer Well, I would I would I don't wanna I don't wanna discourage anybody from being the next predator because the point really is unless you have the discipline, the conviction, and like

22:27Rod Palmer the it's not for everybody you have to have a love for the game and unless you have the ability to do it at those standards and excellence that somebody like predator does it, you're wasting your time. You're going to get called out for hypocrisy. You're going to get caught up. Somebody's going to share a group chat, exposing you for sending them tether on liquid,

22:50Rod Palmer or buying a meme coin or just, you know, even talking about buying a meme coin, like you're just gonna get in trouble for it. So unless you can just completely shut the temptations of scams and unregistered securities out of your life, which most of us can't, we're just we're trying to, but we can't achieve perfection. Nobody can. Then, you know, just just be honest and and have some common sense and contribute

23:15Rod Palmer a little bit more than, you take. You don't have to be the next player. You don't have to, you know, report your own family members to the SEC because they use Monero to buy non KYC anime. Like, you don't have to do that. Like, it's just minor business and just and provide a way for for people to connect. Totally.

23:38Richard Greaser Well, I just wanna highlight, so we we've been getting some heat from the Bitcoin SJWs and Maxi Madness this week. And I just wanna highlight why we've gone about things the way that we've done, why we haven't taken money from sponsorships,

23:58Richard Greaser why, you know, we we focus on

24:03Rod Palmer Yeah. To be sure, we do have sponsors all over our graphics, but that money's not going to us. That is all going towards whoever wins the the prediction bracket challenge. They're getting a bid ax, you know, can't cypherpunk stickers, candles, and the attitude of sponsors

24:22Richard Greaser are are four. It's not it's not any profit for us. But the reason why we've gone about this is, you know, the the Bitcoin SJWs are out there trying to use cancel culture against us and against the contestants in the tournament, and we don't we don't have to submit to it. We have the freedom not to submit to it. The one the one thing though that is kind of pair perilous for us is is we don't have the operating budget to afford Jewish lawyers,

24:52Richard Greaser at the moment. That's something we're trying to resolve.

24:56Rod Palmer Yeah. So here's the thing. It's, you know, in good faith, the selection committee chose 64 participants and they did a damn good job, a damn good job. There was three, that people really took offense to. It was Fred Kruder, you know, last I saw was a picture of him in a swan salon. I figured if he was at a swan salon with Corey that he was a Bitcoin maximalist. I was wrong apparently or, you know, I voted for him, but it wasn't just me as the committee.

25:26Rod Palmer Okay. So fine. We got that one wrong. And then somebody said that, Jason Williams going parabolic. Well, when I first got into Bitcoin, he was on every Bitcoin podcast and he was friends with every Bitcoin podcast or and and people person is in PodCom today, and he had some book about you. Bitcoin is money you can't fuck with. I mean, he goes on Preston Pysh's podcast. He goes on what Bitcoin did. He I mean, I thought he was safe. Fine. Again, apparently, I don't pay enough attention. And the third one was Teddy Bitcoins. I mean, come on. His name is Teddy Bitcoins. Yeah. He had MSTR in his bio, but, like, I didn't think I thought MSTR

26:02Rod Palmer MicroStrategy was fine. Everybody loved Sailor MicroStrategy until what? Until while we put Teddy Bitcoins in the bracket. Okay. Well, here's the thing. We were trying to put shitcoiners. We made honest mistakes. People make honest mistakes. But a, we have the bracket challenge so we can't just change it because somebody is upset that they lost or somebody suspects without any evidence or proof that the other person is buying thoughts to I mean, prove it. Do you what evidence do you have for this claim? So we can't just change it. We open ourselves to being sued and like Richard said, we don't have we can't afford Jewish lawyers

26:37Rod Palmer to to save us from this. And second of all is the, you know, you talked about the cancel culture, but you know, we also talked about you have to deal with this in life. Sometimes there's gonna be a shit corner at your conference or on your podcast where they're going to become a shit corner later.

26:56Rod Palmer It maybe somebody you watch pill becomes a shit corner and it you think it hurts your reputation, but you have to be able to get over that and you have to you can't rely on PodConf to to cancel somebody just because you don't like, you know, their tweets or you just don't like, you know, the stuff that they send DMs, to predator. You just can't do that. And we can't can't cancel somebody and kick them out of our community just because we have, you know,

27:24Rod Palmer a theory, a conspiracy theory about that they might be a shitcoiner?

27:28Richard Greaser I I personally I I wouldn't character characterize any of the decisions that the committee made as mistakes. I think the committee made, they put a lot of thought into it. And and with something as high stakes as Maxi Madness, somebody's gonna get upset

27:46Richard Greaser at the end of the day. And whether it was Fred Krueger or Teddy Bitcoins or Jason Williams, you know, somebody would've gotten upset about something. You know? There there's this is the problem with purity test. Right? Is on a long long enough time horizon, everybody fails, and under enough scrutiny, everybody fails. Like, in

28:07Richard Greaser in the eyes of many maxis, I'm a shit coiner. And I'm okay with that. Like, you know, I I accept the manera on this, part I don't really promote it. I'm not really, you know, excited about it, but, you know, I do it. And, I think it's a viable way to buy non k by c cigarettes, and there's people that wanna get it as Manera. And it just doesn't really conflict with my my morals.

28:34Richard Greaser But, you know, this is like the danger of, like, giving power to all the SJWs out there and and falling for identity politics and giving it too much power in the Bitcoin ecosystem. And I just I just don't care. I don't care that people are upset

28:54Richard Greaser about Teddy Bitcoins. I think this is a good opportunity for people to get out and vote for there to be just a massive red wave, for people to participate in our democracy, honestly and fairly, you know, to vote in person instead of vote by mail, to do all these things that that can counteract,

29:17Richard Greaser you know, the mail in ballots, that are being submitted in the Twitter polls. And, yeah, I I would have cared to I stand by all the decisions of the committees, and that that's something that's an opinion that I'll die on now. It's

29:34Rod Palmer also a lesson just to, you know, don't get so emotionally attached to things that you can only control by voting for, you know, if the only thing you can do to change something is vote, you know, vote or not, it's your decision, but just don't get, you know,

29:53Richard Greaser the way it ruined your day. Well, and there should be a constellation too that you know that Teddy Bitcoins is buying bots or somebody affiliated with him is buying bots instead of buying Bitcoin. You know, that that should be a constellation in of itself that that you're you have the opportunity to to cast your ballot, to buy Bitcoin, to not buy bots.

30:17Rod Palmer And Right. Exactly. This is this is the remote dynamics. This is why you listen to forty hours per week so you don't get upset. You realize that it's thermodynamically sound to StackSats and not buy bots. It is

30:33Rod Palmer thermodynamically unsound. You have energy leak. Every time he buys bots instead of Bitcoin, the people who buy Bitcoin only become, you know,

30:45Rod Palmer a small percentage stronger and over time the person who's spending all their Bitcoin to buy bots is going to be poor and not be able to afford to vote Maxi Madness anymore. So in a couple years, doctor Adam Back will still be in Maxi Madness. Teddy Bitcoins will not. He won't be able to afford it anymore. Not only that,

31:06Richard Greaser you know, I think, like, we all get frustrated at times. Right? We all see things that we disagree with. And I think the solution to that is instead of, you know, being unhappy about things is to to be the change you wanna see in the world. And one of the best ways to do that is to go start a Bitcoin podcast. And you you can voice your opinion. You can you can start submitting your opinion to the free market of ideas, and

31:35Richard Greaser you can, you know, also contribute to the Bitcoin ecosystem and and help the price go up. Because at the end of the day, the more Bitcoin podcasts there are, the higher the price of Bitcoin priced in USDT,

31:48Rod Palmer it will be. Exactly. So, you know, it's just it's a big competition, though. There's been some great memes. There's some great, I mean, Yellow. If you listen to this, go to Yellow's timeline and look at the one. That should be a pretty good recap of day one. There's also the the Maxi Madness recap that you'll find on Twitter and on Noster, by Timmy Tether, who's doing a great job on the March, Maxi Madness, you know, content stream.

32:17Rod Palmer Really appreciate Timmy Taylor working with us. And, yeah, it's just it's been really great. And, we're getting more followers on social media. Like I said, we're you're probably a lot of people listening to this podcast for the first time after listening to Plug Chain or or seen us on Maxi Madness, on their timeline.

32:37Rod Palmer So, yeah, tell a little bit more, Richard, about, you know, what else do we do? We got music, we've got written articles. We do a lot of headlines. What, what more is coming? You got books coming. You got

32:53Rod Palmer I don't I don't wanna say it. Maybe you can bleep it out, but, rhymes with, GBT playing cards. What's what's what's what's the store?

33:05Richard Greaser Well, that last one, I I kinda wanna leave on the download until we we have something shippable, but that is an exciting development. But, yeah, I mean, the Bugle is working on doing some big things over the next year. I mean, we're we're really working at a breakneck pace to

33:26Richard Greaser deliver the world the most thermodynamically sound products possible. So, you know, I started a new podcast this week, the past week, which I'm really excited about. So I did an interview with an incredible band called Skardust. It's called Behind the Music. So as you know, the Beagle has been engaging in a lot of music endeavors, and one of the things I wanna do is highlight a lot of musicians out there that are doing cool stuff.

33:55Richard Greaser And I felt like Scardust was one of those bands I wanna highlight. They produced an incredible song with an incredible music video, pertaining to Bitcoin, you know, talking about the, kind of the history of Satoshi leaving making the decision to leave Bitcoin. This is something a lot of new Bitcoiners don't really know about,

34:17Richard Greaser and I thought it was important to highlight as something very culturally relevant and valuable and highly highly produced. And I wanna continue to to grow that and and find musicians that are interested. You know, we're talking with comedians in the industry, you know, that there might be some ability to do overlap,

34:38Richard Greaser with that. We're we're looking at doing live performances. That's one of the ones I'm the most excited about, so stay tuned. We'll have some announcements about things that we're gonna be doing in Vegas here in the near future. Yeah. I'm just I'm I'm really excited about what's going on.

35:00Richard Greaser One of the things that I think is really important to highlight, you know, with the road map, is we have all these people that have come alongside us to support us throughout this whole endeavor. And that that's why we're at where we're at right now. We've gotten the community buy in,

35:19Richard Greaser from so many talented people that allow us to do what we do, whether it's collaborations with Uncoverable Misfits who have been reading our articles on their show, for years now, big supporters of us. We're working on collaborations with them. It unfortunately, you know, they've hit some roadblocks and have slowed it down, but stay tuned for that.

35:45Richard Greaser They're some of my favorite people, you know, supportive people like Clubchain. They taught us how to use. That's been incredibly valuable. You know, just, I I mean, you look at April Fools or April first last year where Bitcoin magazine let us publish some very important articles on their,

36:09Richard Greaser site that was very helpful and very fun, to be able to use a bigger platform like them. You know, are working with Liberty Under Tech,

36:23Richard Greaser one of my favorite publications. That's the book publisher I'm gonna be using in the future. I I don't really have an interest in working with anybody else because I I love what Rayo's doing over there. I don't think there's anything that fits the cypherpunk ethos in regards to book publishing more so than what he's doing, but he also

36:44Richard Greaser has published my music on Spotify, which is really cool. There there's so many collaborations that we've been working on. You know, the support of Orange Mart, that was huge. I took a tour of the Orange Mart. They showed me around. They had the Dennis Porter Podkoff mural in there, which was I was a little bit disappointed, but they,

37:09Richard Greaser did an incredible video of somebody defacing it, which made me really happy. Let's see. What else? I think we're just gonna see more collaborations. Like, one of the things that was really cool. Meme meme factory for sure. Don't forget meme factory, Yellow. Yellow has been very supportive of us, very helpful. He's been hanging out in Twitter spaces doing commentary on Maxi Madness all last week. Yellow has been a big supporter of us. Mean Factory had us on their show. That was awesome. You know, Party Bent came on the show. We've had we've had a lot of awesome interviews with behind the podcast.

37:48Richard Greaser We're gonna continue to have more awesome interviews with behind the podcast.

37:55Rod Palmer If you remembered, if you mentioned rock paper Bitcoin and fundamentals, the guys at the mesh to Dell, Pies, our big supporters, Southside Dave, big supporters, of the podcast since day one, Anchor Watch, Rob Hamilton,

38:14Rod Palmer Shinobi, Mark Goodwin, you know, all the other people in group chats, macro minutes. I I I could keep going on if I forgot you. I didn't, mean to, but, yeah. Yeah. Frank Korva.

38:30Richard Greaser Frank Korva. Yeah. I mean, I I got a ton of respect, from so many so many people, you know, Optimus and Simply Bitcoin. I I'm looking to do some collaborations with him. I need to follow-up with that, but, I was teasing Opti with the potential of doing some music collaborations, doing some rap songs together.

38:52Richard Greaser I think that would be a lot of fun, and, that's something I definitely wanna follow-up on. But, yeah, I I'm just excited. Like, I I want, to do a lot of more collaborations with people. I think there's gonna be a lot of opportunity. Yeah. I mean, talk about fundamentals. What a great guy. I mean, that guy has had a huge year. How many Bitcoin podcasts is he doing right now? He's is he up to three? He's got the I think he's up to four. He's got math, fish,

39:24Rod Palmer bit you know, Bitcoin on rock paper Bitcoin. I think he's I think he's got one with with coffee. They with Otis Bittmeyer. I mean, he's he's he's got a lot of podcasts right now, and he's doing all he's doing almost all of it to to Samir.

39:40Richard Greaser He's writing a book. Yeah. Talk yeah. P two p rights foundation. Like, what they're doing is huge. I think it's great. Yeah. As far as far as the pipeline for the next year, I think we're gonna continue to grow. I think we're gonna continue to so, like, one of the things that was the most exciting about the scar dust interview that I did

40:04Richard Greaser was, Noah, Grumman, this very, very talented singer, one of the most talented singers in the world, if not the most, talented female singer in the world, covered your song, Rod, the forty hours per week,

40:18Richard Greaser which I just thought was absolutely incredible.

40:23Rod Palmer Yeah. It was a beautiful it was a beautiful rendition. You gotta check that out. It it's was it felt really great to hear that, somebody out there with some talent and appreciate it appreciation of music, was able to turn put a different spin on that song,

40:42Rod Palmer and give it a different sound. So it was great. It was really cool. The music stuff's fun.

40:46Richard Greaser Yeah. I mean, it's it's really fun. I mean, that that's one of the biggest horizons that I really wanna double down on in the future. You know, we've got somebody working on a forty hours per week music video that I think is gonna be super super highly produced. I I it's just a world of endless possibilities, out there that have been granted to us due to our credentials in in cigarette smoking and engaging in the value for value economy instead of just being, you know, stuck in, you know,

41:18Richard Greaser focusing on Michael Sailor thumbnails or, you know, whatever else. And, yeah, I mean, the road map's big. The road map's big for what we wanna do with the bugle. I think the live shows are gonna be one of the most important aspects of it. I think,

41:37Richard Greaser I think we're gonna have a real opportunity to do some cool stuff in Vegas that I'm really excited about on that front. But, I, you know, I have this vision for the future of doing things like musicals and

41:55Richard Greaser movies and cartoon shows. And this is something that that's cool that we we've been working on with Shane Onax. Is that how you pronounce his last name? He's got some stupid French name.

42:07Rod Palmer Yeah. Yeah. I think. I don't know how to pronounce it either.

42:11Richard Greaser It's probably like, or something silly. It's French. But he's been doing some incredible, comic book artwork, and I think there's a real potential to be actually publishing

42:26Richard Greaser bugle comic books here in the future. But you you look at, like, you know, the the impact that Kaylee had on the show, raising the production level significantly,

42:40Richard Greaser her coming back to the show and helping out again is great. I think I got I got big things. I think we got big plans in the pipeline, and, it's all it's all done. We're all doing this because we're getting supported

42:60Richard Greaser by the general community, which is absolutely great. And I think that the support will only grow. I think the product will only get better. And, we're we're kinda tapped out on how many cigarettes that we can smoke, but, I think Maggie Morris has had a lot of value

43:19Richard Greaser as well. She's been great in the Twitter spaces over the last week assisting in in the commentary on, Maxi Madness. But, yeah, what about you, Rod? What are you excited about in the road map

43:35Rod Palmer looking forward in the future for the Bugle? I think it's just, you know, a, it's just engaging with the community. I am more of a, you know, I just like to evolve with the with the headlines, with the news. I'm a I'm a reporter. I have rolled punches. And, when there's an opportunity to, you know, engage the community,

43:56Rod Palmer have a tournament, figure out what people like, and and make some content, some timely content, It's working with and getting the feedback from our fans in the community, that really helps me hone

44:13Rod Palmer hone my my me making abilities. And, yeah. And I think that, you know, before we get into the the the boost, thinking about the boost and like, that's the best way to, you know, engage us when you're first

44:30Rod Palmer listening to forty hours per week and you first stumbled across the bugle. But, that's just kind of where it starts in and that's where the value value for value community kind of starts to grow right there. It's just like you're listening to forty hours. We're putting it out As we grow, like, what more what more signal can we put out and how we how can we collaborate? Totally.

44:53Richard Greaser I before we go into the fountain booths, I did want to mention oh, yeah. Collaboration with Orange label has been awesome. Working on a new clothing line, that should be out in the next few weeks. I want it to be really good, so I'm taking my time with it. But the,

45:12Richard Greaser the revolution will not have good UX clothing line. Big shout out to OrangeLabel. Rod's 40 HPW line, I think, is one of the best clothing lines, out there. I think the comply line is pretty good, But the 40 HPW line is just incredible. I've got my 40 HPW

45:32Richard Greaser shirt, the intellectual Silk Road shirt. It's my favorite shirt that I own. When I'm not wearing my my suit, It's my go to. Big fan of it. But, yeah, Orange label, huge help. Awesome awesome group to be partnering with. Hope to do more collaborations with other people like that in the future.

45:54Richard Greaser But, yeah, Timmy Tether Timmy Tether has been a great addition to the team. Big fan of Timmy Tether. Saved us from bad UX podcasting couple weeks ago. Absolutely just completely revived the episode.

46:11Richard Greaser Huge help. Adding so much value. Timmy's, recaps of Maxi Madness have been on point phenomenal. Be honest. Yeah. Yeah.

46:25Rod Palmer Let's, let's get into it. I mean, let's talk. Let's talk back. I mean, listen, we got when before I even open up the the app, I know we're gonna get multiple zaps, multiple boosts from Pies. Pies is he was talking a few weeks ago about he was gonna put the headphones down. He's gonna give his ears some he's gonna touch some grass. He's gonna take off some time from the Bitcoin podcast, but it looks like he's changed his mind. And he's got got a couple of 420 sats and then a 100 sats

46:56Rod Palmer based from Pies. Pies goes, yo, son, I won in on the tournament, but it should be a cage fight to the death. Ali one ate the mushrooms and destroy anyone in my path. Fucking writing a book.

47:10Rod Palmer Well, apply Pies, if you listeners should probably know about the bit Bitcoin fight club. So you might be able to get in on a matchup on that one for the Bitcoin conference if you can make it, which we hope you can. But a fight to the death, eating and ate the mushrooms, that's that's tough. I mean, lot of big corners like mushrooms. I like mushrooms. I think they're very valuable. But fate a cage fight to the death is a pretty high time preference

47:40Rod Palmer activity. And right now, I'm trying to focus on stacking sets and and and enjoying life. And that but I'm sure there's somebody out there who would do a cage fight to the death, but, I don't think I don't know. I feel like Pies is probably gonna win that one. He's kinda crazy in a good way. But, yeah. If if you get that sanctioned, let us know.

48:02Rod Palmer Is next when he says 420¢ as well. By the way, if I can't fist fight anyone as part of the tournament, I'm going with American HODL for the win. I fucks with HODL, bruh. Larry Leppard would be my runner-up.

48:15Richard Greaser I mean, that's those are pretty good. Those are pretty solid picks. I think, a lot of people fuck with American HODL. Yeah. I think the boost were a little bit lower on this episode. I think it's because a lot of people were on spring break. But, yeah, Pai's, I think fighting to death is a is a bad idea. And the reason why it's a bad idea is we need more Bitcoin podcasters. We need more Bitcoin podcast listeners. We cannot afford to lose them in in that regard.

48:44Richard Greaser So I think there's other ways to to settle disputes or or, determine who the most macho, Bitcoin podcast listener is. But, yeah. As always, Pies, your boost are definitely appreciated. So on my

49:03Richard Greaser on my fountain, it says anonymous for 1010¢. Do you does yours have a name on it, or is yours anonymous as well? No. That's that's Bliza. That's Bliza. Bliza's a key comments, very boost most weeks. Cool. Well, Bliza says, ever since the price of Bitcoin dropped, I cannot afford to pay my taxes. Now I need to find a credential tax preparer. Ever since I found the Beagle, I realized how important credentials in every facet of life.

49:33Richard Greaser Well Oh, yeah. My suggestion on that, you know, when you're looking for a credentialed tax person, their or their the race really matters. You know? You wanna find a good Jew to do your taxes for you. You know, typically, when I have a question like this, I go to fundamentals,

49:54Richard Greaser you know, because fundamentals is Jewish, so he knows a lot of good Jewish people. You know, he's had family members that have been accountants. He used to be an actuary. He's a good he's a good point of reference, to get at least a referral, in my opinion. He might he might disagree with me, but that's just him being humble on that regard. But, yeah, anyways, we hope,

50:17Richard Greaser Bliza, that the price of Bitcoin will go up and, you know, one of the ways to make the price of Bitcoin go up so that you can afford your taxes is to start a Bitcoin podcast. That's the Yeah. I mean, that's

50:29Rod Palmer It's getting to the point where the acceleration is creating a necessity. You can't just work forty hours a week, mining coal, working at cigarette factory. If you had a government job, you got fired from that, from Doge. You gotta start a Bitcoin podcast

50:49Rod Palmer and it's not gonna monetize necessarily right away, but if it just pays for your your weekly cigarette consumption, then, you know, that's a savings that you can use to stack more sats. Awesome.

51:02Richard Greaser I think we have another Pies boost that you missed all the way at the bottom for a 100 sats. It says v for v e hashtag 40 h p w. But the last boost

51:12Rod Palmer Go ahead.

51:14Richard Greaser Last boost of the day from Odie 40 h p w, 2,001 121 sass, so about two cigarettes, a little bit over.

51:23Richard Greaser Says, bugle boosting boosts, unbarish beliefs, and bringing bullish Bitcoin back. Not a poem. Yeah. Odie wrote us a poem last week.

51:32Rod Palmer This week, he just he gave us that, that boost. Odie's from somewhere in the country of Europe. I think it's, like, where they have glaciers and, snow where you have to wear a coat and smoke outside every day of the year. Some but sometimes you can smoke outside at 01:00 in the morning and it's light out. So he he's probably listening to the podcast at, like, when we're all sleeping. Very cool. Well, thank you for the boost,

51:59Richard Greaser Odie. And, yeah, I I mean, I really appreciated the poem last week. I thought that was, very impressive. Very, very impressive. That was fire. Well, Rod, do you got any closing thoughts to, wrap up the sort

52:14Richard Greaser episode?

52:15Rod Palmer If you're listening to yeah. If you're listening to this when it first comes out, Monday morning, Monday afternoon, it's not too late to participate in sweet 16 of the maxi madness. If you're listening on Tuesday morning, it's not too late to participate in the elite eight. And we got the final four. Then we got the fives all ending next week. So make sure you get in there, check it out, vote for your favorite maxi, make sure the you know, when you get there and if you vote for your favorite

52:43Rod Palmer if your favorite's American HODL, he's got a big match up against BTC sessions tomorrow. Make sure you get in there, show your support. They'll let daddy Bitcoins beat Adam Back, Satoshi potentially, although it's probably Peter Todd. Hell yeah. And,

52:60Rod Palmer keep supporting the bugle, and we will keep

53:04Unknown delivering you the real news that you can trust. Thanks for tuning in, and we'll catch you next week. I just I I just, you know, wholeheartedly recommend to listen to forty hours per week. Forty hours I sink.

53:30Unknown Forty hours per week. Forty at worst I

53:41Unknown seek, and that's just the start. That's it. This is all I wanted to say. I chain.

54:41Unknown And that's just the start. Difficulty adjustments turn my world upside down, then Breedlove and Sailor dropped

55:40Unknown And that's

56:36Unknown And that's just the

56:41Fundamentals start.
