0:00Kayley Welch This is Kayley Welch, and you are listening to the most thermodynamically sound podcast in the world.

0:15Rod Palmer Palmer has a heart of gold, playing sharp as a knife. Dick Grease are investigating, pot can bring shadows to light. Every week on a bugle,

0:26Rod Palmer but their voices rang so true.

0:29Richard Greaser I've ever had been a hobby another nation.

0:31Rod Palmer I'm bringing the news to you. Rodney keep on rolling through the thick and the thin with a fight that keeps burning, but won't let the darkness win.

0:54Richard Greaser Welcome to this edition of People Weekly. This is Richard Greaser coming off here. Absolutely massive week. I would say that, we single handedly revived Bitcoin Twitter. Bitcoin Twitter is back on track. It was dead. It was dormant for a while. It was just dominated by bots and NGU posts and now the memers are back, the memers are activated, Teddy Bitcoins, the world's villain

1:22Richard Greaser that was necessary, the champion of Maxi Madness, the the well deserving champion who also is, Swan Bitcoin's biggest enemy at the moment, he he helped to revitalize and and and get the memers activated

1:39Richard Greaser and mobilized. So I'm excited about that. How are you doing, Rod? What do you got going on?

1:47Rod Palmer Doing well. It's been a busy week. Yeah. Year two of Maxi Madness was a smashing success. And in year two, like year one,

1:59Rod Palmer a memer, someone from the memer division, won Maxi Madness. I don't know if somebody from a different from a different region is capable of winning Maxi Madness.

2:12Rod Palmer But so far, it's two for two to the Meebers. And, you know, some people are mad about Teddy Bitcoins winning maxi mad as and some people call Teddy Bitcoins a scammer. However, you know, I did some research. I talked to a lot of,

2:30Rod Palmer sources and I put out, you know, a call on some group chats to ask for any evidence of a Teddy Bitcoins buying votes. No evidence of it. Just allegations.

2:42Rod Palmer And I asked for evidence that Teddy Bitcoins had scammed anybody, that he was a scammer. And so far, I can't find a single person who's been scammed by Teddy Bitcoins. So these are just these are baseless allegations. And I think that some people are just salty. They're salty about, you know, somebody who they did not vote for or somebody that they did not put in their prediction bracket.

3:09Rod Palmer They they're just sore losers. Yeah. I just I don't think you should be sore loser. I think the worst thing that you can do in maxi madness is be a sorely laser. I think the best thing you can do is put in proof of work, bust your ass, and try to do better for next year. Mhmm. That's just my opinion. But congratulations

3:28Rod Palmer to Teddy, and congratulations to, the winner of the prediction, bacon bracket challenge. I think I know who it is, but their their submission is under the name Rob Palmer's love child.

3:49Rod Palmer And the email address is the, Ottawa BTC meetup. So I think that sounds like our, our friend boomer, our friend boomer up there in, what's his Fiat name? I forgot. What is his Fiat name over there in

4:03Richard Greaser Ottawa? Yeah, it's it's 40.

4:06Rod Palmer Yeah. Yeah. Congratulations. So as you know, crypto cloaks decided to give away, the bid ax in a different giveaway. So we we partnered with Altair, and they're going to provide the bid ax. They're still you're still gonna get the Cypherpunk sticker pack

4:26Rod Palmer from ungovernable misfits. You're still gonna get the EVM Park Series, the snarky candle, Otis Meyer, the two bags of Otis Meyer bit Otis Bittmeyer coffee, as well as a Todd Conf T shirt. So that's great. Congratulations to Rob Palmer's love child AKA Cory AKA

4:48Rod Palmer Broken Ruler AKA Boomer AKA the guy that listens to sixty hours of Bitcoin podcast per week. And hey, we talked about this. He listened to sixty hours of Bitcoin podcast per week. That's how you get the alpha that you need

5:05Rod Palmer to be able to predict these outcomes in, Maxi Madness. Now he did not predict that Teddy Bitcoins would win, but he did get the most accurate bracket overall.

5:18Richard Greaser Oh, very cool. Well, I do wanna talk I wanna spend some time talking about the haters. There were some haters this week. I wanna talk about the sore losers. But, before we get into that, your voice sounds a little bit different. Are you are you a little bit sick

5:32Rod Palmer over the run? Yeah. Yeah. I'm definitely feeling sick today.

5:36Richard Greaser Were you like swapping slobber with, miss Hanlon and she gave you some sort of disease or or what's going on? Were you not smoking enough cigarettes this week? Why why are you sick? What's going on?

5:47Rod Palmer Well, I feel sick just because I was, well, I I was in Nashville, and I was I have to admit I did swap some spit with miss Hidalnott. I'm a little upset because she DM'd me on Noster

6:04Rod Palmer and told me that, she also made out with Optimus Fields at Pub Key for BGC Sessions fortieth birthday party, in New York City this weekend. Well,

6:19Richard Greaser yeah. So we might have an issue where a lot of the Bitcoin influencers are are getting sick then. If off the if miss Hoddlenot is is carrying these diseases around to everybody, she's probably If she gives

6:32Rod Palmer if if miss Hoddlenot gives another group chat, a breakout of, cold sores, I'm She's going to lose her She's going to lose her group chat privileges. This is gonna be the third group chat that she's given cold sores and colds to in the past two years. Very interesting.

6:53Richard Greaser Were you hanging out with Kaylee in Nashville or what? Do you see her at all out there? I do see Kaylee, dancing

7:01Rod Palmer on the bar table at Coyote Ugly and she was, she was smoking cigarettes inside and they, they tried to kick her out. Then she just ran. She jumped. She did, like, a flip over one of the bachelorette parties and, again, escaped the bar. On the way out, she gave me a high five, and she said, what's up, Rob Palmer? Everybody was, like, looking at me, like, holy shit. He knows this girl. It was pretty cool. But, yeah, she she had, like, I don't know. I probably saw her take, like, five or six shots of different whiskeys, run off the,

7:34Rod Palmer the the bar, do a a back flip, grabbed a cigarette out of somebody's hand, jumped into her white Jeep intro in drunk drive straight off of Broadway. It was incredible. Everybody was cheering. It's great to have Kaylee. Yeah. Great to have her back. I'm so excited that she's back.

7:52Richard Greaser I missed her a lot. But, yeah, we're gonna I'm sure she stuck the landing too off the bar. Oh, yes. And she,

8:01Rod Palmer I I heard, I I saw some, like, posts on Noster that said that she, she was also caught smoking cigarettes inside Tootsie's on, on Broadway. But, you know, she she got on stage. She played, so Chris Stapleton with the band at Tootsies. It was pretty, it was apparently pretty cool.

8:24Rod Palmer She's a, she's a specimen of a human being. There there's no That's why we miss her so much. We missed her so much. She is not I mean, she's they did not they don't build girls like Kaylee to be Monero girls. They they build girls like Kaylee for what for what T shirt contents. She's a transparency naxi. That's why she's a Bitcoin blockchain girl in my opinion. Yeah.

8:48Richard Greaser She's definitely an example of women on a Bitcoin standard. I mean, that's why- 100. I don't think anybody's put out such stringent job requirements for a podcast producer as we did. And I'm just glad that we were even able to find somebody that met those specifications that we put out.

9:09Rod Palmer If you don't, if you don't have a society that values drinking and driving, you're not going to be able to find producers that can make it to the job interview. I mean, drinking and driving is how you get to job interviews like the one that we had with Kaylee to hire her. So it's just, I don't know. You wanna, if you wanna fix the economy, you gotta, you gotta go wax on the drinking and driving laws. Yeah. I mean, it's just,

9:34Richard Greaser I mean, I feel like drunk driving should be a part of your your, driver certification test when you're gonna see like, if you cannot effectively drive drunk, then you probably shouldn't have a driver's license in my opinion. It's gonna happen.

9:51Rod Palmer But yeah, daily is great. And then before we get into the haters, there is one more bit of, of some kidneys that I wanted to share. It's Timmy Tether has agreed to, have an expanded role with the Bugle. So there's gonna be more Timmy Tether content, some more regular Timmy Tether,

10:13Rod Palmer maybe some video content. So we might need to we might need to find the, the password to the rumble account or something. I don't know. But look for more Timmy Tether content. He's gonna be producing some of his own shows. And he he he killed it at Maxi Madness. I think that city tether was probably other than Teddy Bitcoins to me to me tether and Teddy Bitcoins were the m MVP of of Maxi Madness two thousand twenty five. And it just goes to show you tether and Bitcoins goes hand in hand.

10:44Rod Palmer Whether it's Timmy and Teddy or or, you know, Tron and the time change. So, really excited for that.

10:53Richard Greaser I agree. Timmy Tether, his, his, recaps of each, segment of the tournament were were incredible. They were absolutely impressive. I can't think of a better platform

11:08Richard Greaser for him to operate on other than Rumble. You know, his name is Timmy Tether and Rumble is pretty sure Tether has a big stake in in Rumble, and they're gonna be onboarding Tether into their products. So I can't think I don't see why he would go on YouTube or Hitstooth or any of the other video platforms out there. Rumble is

11:32Rod Palmer and should be Timmy Teller's home for sure. They are. Yep. I think Timmy Teller's gonna be looking for sponsors for his shows, so we're gonna help him with that. So if you're interested in sponsoring a Timmy Teller, you know, daily or weekly,

11:47Richard Greaser video show, reach out to us. Yeah. Well, be before we get too into, discussing the haters, I do want to, just say, you know, to the haters, I know this was a really high stakes event. This was the premier competition in Bitcoin. I don't think there's any competition bigger than Maxi Madness. It is the most important

12:11Richard Greaser competition to Bitcoin. There were a lot of bets online, a lot of gambling markets, bookies running off the book stuff. There wasn't anything like official like on poly market or anything. Maybe that'll happen next year. So I know why people's emotions were so strong about the competition, but if you lose a bet, it's not an excuse

12:36Richard Greaser to harass the contestants, It's not an excuse to harass the coaches coaching the contestants. It's not an excuse to harass the people putting on the event. And,

12:50Richard Greaser you know, what it felt like to me after the event, Podkomp had some pretty nasty remarks towards us. And I'm regretting partnering with Podkomp. I I almost wonder if it was sort of a setup

13:06Richard Greaser by them where they they organized a lot of hate towards us. You know, a lot of the people that were directing hate towards us, they were PodConf approved. The whole Swan C Suite was pretty upset at us. Obviously, PodConf approved and

13:25Rod Palmer Not everybody is SWAN though. Not everybody is SWAN. Not you. We can't throw them all under the bus. It's just the SWAN C Suite. The, the low level workers, the collabs at SWAN have been very supportive.

13:39Richard Greaser I agree. I one of yeah. I'm glad you said that because one person I wanna highlight of doing a really good job throughout the tournament was Stephen Lubka. I think Stephen Lubka, he performed really well. He worked his butt off. He had a great attitude, showed great sportsmanship throughout the tournament.

14:01Richard Greaser He advocated for himself without doing too much trash talking. Really a class act. I'd say he is the standard of, you know, how to behave during the Heist of Dakes event and I think he really boosted his credibility. Corey Klipson, on the other hand, was the perfect example of how not to behave in the event. He didn't even try. And I I know I talked about this a little bit on the the podcast with Kaz that we did last week. But he was like the guy that shows up to, PE class and doesn't wear your gym shorts, wears your jeans, and sits on the side and and looks all pouty and talks about how stupid PE is. But not only that, then he started critiquing the competition

14:46Richard Greaser as a whole. He started harassing, the champion of the event, started harassing Teddy Bitcoins. Just it's like he had Teddy Bitcoins derangement syndrome. It was absolutely insane to me.

15:04Richard Greaser How poor sportsmanship Corey displayed and very disappointed in him. I'm very Yeah.

15:13Rod Palmer It's one of

15:15Richard Greaser PodCom's four horsemen. It's not how you behave. It's not how you promote NGU. He's just so in division. He's engaging in identity politics, being a Bitcoin social justice warrior. Very, very disappointed. I imagine, I don't know where Corey's mother is, but if Corey's mother saw his behavior, I'm sure she'd be very ashamed with him. The other one, yeah, another first round,

15:45Rod Palmer loser in Maxi Manis this year who is very, very upset and exhibiting tiny Bitcoin arrangements in it was Joe, Carlos. He was, he was very upset. He. He was posted about how, you know, having Bitcoins in your name, does it fool the Bitcoin community? Bitcoin community is very, very good at sniffing out

16:10Rod Palmer corruption, scammers, things like that. And he's right about that. But, I don't, I don't think that, like I said, we, we haven't found anybody. He's been scammed by Teddy Bitcoins. There's been a few people who they had very unoriginal ideas that they tweeted about that. They accused Teddy Bitcoins of stealing their tweets. You know, I think it's sometimes it's very obvious like Dan Held steals a very hard work. Somebody puts a lot of hard work into a really good Bitcoin meme

16:39Rod Palmer and they're, they're photo shopping it and they're adding it and they're, they're doing like adding the, you know, the, the impact font and they're making a really good Bitcoin meme and Danielle just works it off and steals it. But sometimes, you know, somebody posts like a thread about, you know, how Bitcoin fixes this. And, you know, it's very hard to say that you're the person that came up with that original idea. It's been it's a very common idea. But other than that, you know, it's, you know, Joe, it's it's sad to see Joe get Teddy Bighorn's duration syndrome, but it was also nice to see a lot of people in the community come together and say, you know, stop taking this. Stop letting her feelings impact

17:23Rod Palmer your work on this mission to orange pill the world. Stop letting Maxi Madness hurt your feelings. Totally. Yeah. And I think I think the biggest issue here I think the biggest issue

17:40Rod Palmer to put my tinfoil hat on for a second. Basically, Twitter has been pretty stale ever since Donald Trump kinda entered the scene. Everybody's been kind of leaning on Donald Trump hoping that he will just give us the god candle and bring into you, but we won't have to be we won't have to podcast as much anymore.

18:03Rod Palmer We won't have to post. We don't have to post as many memes anymore. This is gonna happen. And that's not how it works. So it's been a while since Bitcoin Twitter has, you know, any single company in PodConf,

18:20Rod Palmer any single trending event has been this all consuming of the timeline. It has been this successful,

18:29Rod Palmer and I think PodConf has been jealous of that. And I think that they wanna steal Maxi Madness. There was a lot of people talking about forking Maxi Madness, boxing the bugle out so that the bugle can't be behind Maxi Madness. I think they'd want to take it. I think that they want to steal Maxi Madness from us. And so they've been trying to stoke this, you know, this division and this vitriol

18:56Rod Palmer on the timeline against us so that they can have Maxi Madness for themselves. And I just think if that is true with, you know, I just think that's dirty and I think that I'm glad we hurt your feelings if you're trying to steal Maxi Madness because I don't think Swan or Joe Carl Saar or Stacy and Max,

19:18Rod Palmer like, would do a better job with Maxie Madness than the Bugle. I think pawn comp it's good that pawn comp did not have any say in Nazi madness.

19:30Richard Greaser Well, I mean, the the standpoint that I would take is I I would encourage them to fork because they'd have an inferior I mean, we we saw that There's been a lot of questions and speculation. What's Bitcoin's next block size war gonna be? Maybe Bitcoin's next block size war is the Maxi Madness war. If they wanna do that, if they wanna be the next Roger Ver, if they wanna be the next Jian Wu, if they wanna be the next Craig Wright,

20:00Richard Greaser it'd be my guess. We have the longest chain. We're gonna do it better than anybody else. We did it better than anybody else. And the reason why is I guarantee none of them are going to smoke as many cigarettes as this. It's just simple as that. They don't eat as much as we do. They don't smoke as many cigarettes as we do. They don't have the proper credentials to run such a prestigious event. They don't have the skill sets. We're light years ahead of them. What are you going to do? If you go to school and you want to get a bachelor's degree, it's going to take you four years. That's a whole having cycle that's gonna take you to even get the proper credentials to even compete with us. Good luck with that. Yeah. It's

20:41Rod Palmer you know, if they do wanna steal it yeah. You're right. Like, I encourage them. Good luck. Good luck to you, sir. Good luck to you, ma'am. I I can't wait to see the 64 person bracket that you put out. I can't wait to see the videos you put out because

21:01Rod Palmer I, you know, your boos mean nothing to me because I've seen what makes you cheer. And if, you know, if your Maxi Madness is going to be like this echo chamber,

21:17Rod Palmer you know, this you have to be protected from everybody who's ever who's ever strayed from the thought cry or had a thought cry or strayed away from the the group think this is gonna be such a boring, stale

21:33Rod Palmer it's, it's gonna be everything that maxi madness is trying

21:37Richard Greaser to, to go against. Yeah, it'll be pretty glorious. I, I mean, I would enjoy to watch a failure. I mean, what are they really upset about that it's not sponsored by a KYC exchange or a hardware wallet? Is that like their main concern or is it main concern that there's too much diversity in the contestant field or are they concerned that

22:01Richard Greaser they just want to rig the boat for their betting markets? I don't understand what the critiques are. I think probably a lot of it is rooted in jealousy. They see

22:16Richard Greaser that our team is having an outsized impact in the discussion around Bitcoin. I mean, I guarantee you that none of these people that are gonna try and compete with us listen to forty hours of Bitcoin podcast a week. Like there's just- I was gonna say just that, exactly. It's so funny to me, that they even suggest that. Like go ahead and fork it. Have your Bitcoin cash

22:42Richard Greaser Maxi Madness. Be Roger Ver. Go ahead. Be my guest.

22:46Rod Palmer Yeah. Yeah. I mean, make every single person who wants to vote Maxi Madness, upload their driver's license, give you their Social Security number, you know, fucking take a selfie from three different angles, put it through

23:02Rod Palmer the compliance pipeline. You know what? People are not gonna vote. People are not gonna vote in Maxie Madness if it takes five minutes with them to vote in Maxie Madness. Have have every They're gonna vote in Maxie Madness when they Yeah. It's just so stupid.

23:17Richard Greaser Have every decision, have every tweet ran by illegal and HR department, make sure that it hurts nobody's feelings. You know, it is gonna be funny.

23:28Rod Palmer I I I want So, yeah, like I said I want I want them to do it. I wanna see how the competition looks like. If if if you want if you wanna if you want to do our job marketing Maxi Madness for us, if you want to prove why Maxi Madness can only be run by credentialed journalists, if you want to highlight how stupid and retarded you are compared to us, go ahead and do that.

23:57Rod Palmer All you're doing is making us stronger and you weaker, Just like crying and saying your feelings are hurt in group chats and on the timeline about Maxie Madness, you're only you're only hurting yourself and and strengthening and emboldening. Even Michael Sailor had fun.

24:15Rod Palmer He he lost. He lost in the championship. The most buys, the most engagement, the most impressions of every round is the championship, of course. And he lost, and he was a good sport about it. He even considered changing his name to Mikey Bitcoins for a chance to to win the tournament. And, you know, maybe if maybe if Corey changed his name to Corey Bitcoins,

24:39Rod Palmer maybe he would have beat Matt O'Dell on the first rap. Maybe if Joe Carlos are changed his name to, you know, well, there's already a Joey Bitcoins, but you know, maybe Joe Bitcoins, maybe he would've won him. Who knows? I just think

24:54Richard Greaser it's clear. It is a lot of these people were not prepared. They didn't put the groundwork in. They didn't show up on the Twitter spaces. They didn't promote themselves. They weren't they weren't out there making their cases for why they should win. They weren't going on podcast campaigning for themselves or or the contestants that they wanna win. They just

25:18Richard Greaser there there was I mean, this is this is the funny thing about a lot of these influencers is they're not willing to put in the proof of work. Like, they they're so passionate about Bitcoin's proof of work, yet they're not willing to actually put in the proof of work themselves.

25:34Rod Palmer Some people just, they're in denial that being hot sometimes just isn't enough. Mhmm. Sometimes just being hot is not enough. You have to put in the proof of work.

25:47Rod Palmer And that first, let me say that's not a dig against Lyn Alden. Lyn Alden made for the final four. She had a very, very impressive showing this year, and she did very well, you know, against Teddy Bitcoins, but it's, it wasn't Lynn's year. It was Teddy Bitcoins a year. And sometimes that's just the way that it, that it plays out. Totally. So

26:12Rod Palmer if you're looking for an apology from us, you will not get that, because a, we're not sorry. And we're not even sorry if your feelings are hurt. In fact, if your feelings are hurt,

26:27Rod Palmer that is kind of why I wake up in the morning. That's why I woke up every morning at 5AM to work with Timmy Tether to produce the Maxi Madness recap because I was excited for for the people's feelings who were hurt. How many how many of these accounts

26:44Richard Greaser that are getting mad at us? How how many of them do you think have tweeted us at some point in history that everything is good for Bitcoin?

26:53Rod Palmer 100% of them. Everything apparently is good for Bitcoin except Teddy Bitcoins winning Maxi Madness. And if Teddy Bitcoins can win Maxi Madness, and that is, quote, unquote, bad for Bitcoin, then

27:11Rod Palmer you have to look in the mirror and think, maybe it's time for you to sell. Because Penny Bitcoins won. And the price is, you know, maybe the price gone down because it is bad for Bitcoin. But you've gotta determine if you take that's true or not. Totally. Well, Maxi Madness

27:27Richard Greaser was quite a I mean, it dominated Twitter the last two weeks. Right? Was there anything else that happened that was bigger than Maxi Madness or or even remotely close to it?

27:41Rod Palmer The only thing that comes closest is the Ghibli, the anime, pictures. It's not really a Bitcoin specific thing, but that's, you know, the only thing in the wider timeline, space that that kind of had any bigger impact that I can think of.

28:00Richard Greaser I I do have a story I wanted to talk about actually. Did you see that website, Ice Read? I think it's iceread.

28:08Rod Palmer Oh, yes. Yeah. I did. Yeah. And I had a lot of, Trump podcasters like Laura Loomer were, were have been promoting it. So was Tim Cast.

28:18Richard Greaser It's it's incredible. These these these influencers in the right way, mean is spear are promoted promoting tokenized, snitching. And you look at

28:31Rod Palmer Tokenized tabletales.

28:33Richard Greaser Yeah. We talk about the priorities amongst a lot of these people. I I don't think I've seen Corey tweet anything about tokenized snitching, but I've seen him tweet it quite a bit, him and Brady, and even Jan Pritzker tweet about

28:48Rod Palmer Teddy Bitcoins. Where where are these people's priorities at? I think Teddy yeah. I think Teddy Bitcoin's derangement syndrome is warping their incentives.

28:57Richard Greaser It's incredible to me. I mean, it's just but anyways, I I wonder if this isn't gonna be a new trend. If snitching is gonna be tokenized in in different ways, I I know The UK has been looking for ways for people to snitch about, mean Twitter posts. I think a lot of the the memes around Maxi Madness probably would be considered noncompliant in The UK. People would probably be getting arrested and thrown in prison for that. I I doubt people have been really focused on on snitching about their mean Twitter posts and memes there.

29:32Richard Greaser I wonder if the UK government is gonna look at tokenizing snitching there. There's a lot of countries, that really wanna stamp out noncompliant behavior in general and,

29:50Richard Greaser kind of pairing shit coining with with snitching seems like a match made in heaven. And and I wonder I wonder we we know that we know that Platter likes to snitch on people.

30:04Rod Palmer I was just gonna say that. I was gonna say, Platter knows that being a tattletale does not require a token. You do not need a token to be a tattletale and you can go back

30:18Rod Palmer to the times of the Bible, times of the Quran, the times of ancient history. They didn't need meme coins and tokens to be tattletales back then. When we were growing up in school, the tattletales didn't need

30:34Rod Palmer tokens back then, and they don't need it now. You do not need a token to be a tattletale. You can just be a tattletale and get paid in SAPS. You don't need a special token. You don't need to put it on the blockchain. You just you just need to be

30:51Richard Greaser you just need to be a principled tattletale. Well, I wonder I wonder so, like, I think we all have the ability to be corrupted in some way. We all come into this with our high moral standards at the end of the day. You know, for Robert Breedlove, it was it was, pairing clout

31:13Richard Greaser with tokens. For me, it was being able to accept Monero for the podcast, which is actually a pretty good way to buy non KYC cigarettes peer to peer. For Plutator,

31:27Richard Greaser I wonder if what will corrupt him is the ability to snitch on people and receive tokens for doing it. So I almost wonder if we should set a trap for Plenator. If we could create a Solana meme coin that could be paid out to people for snitching on unregistered securities.

31:49Richard Greaser Do you think we could trap Pleditor and corrupt him as a result of doing that?

31:54Rod Palmer That's a good question. It's like if you if you give him the opportunity to be kind of like an oracle, an oracle who reports

32:07Rod Palmer every time somebody messages him in his DMs or on Telegram to offer him, you know, to be a pre miner or a a, an early, you know, investor in a in a

32:22Rod Palmer snitching operation or in a meme coin that he could stitch on them and report that and it would trigger, you know, some smart contract payout on ice raid. He might be in he might be interested. It might just you might just have to find that that thing to peak his interest.

32:41Rod Palmer So, you know, we we we we had the the we saw that movie trailer, the the trailer for how to catch a shit coiner. And it was Pluttr, you know, Pluttr. It's kinda like he was setting up these stings for shit coiners, people to buy meme coins, people to buy Monero. And when they showed up to the house to to do the peer to peer transaction, Pluterer was waiting for them with all their texts, all their DMs, all them printed out. He was ready to report these, these scammers

33:13Rod Palmer to Corey Clipston so Corey Clipston could expose them on the timeline. May have to, you know, turn the tables on Predator and and see if we can catch him in his own devices. That would be an interesting sting operation.

33:27Richard Greaser And I feel comfortable talking about it publicly in the podcast because we know that the plut editor doesn't listen to this one. He's got some bugle derangement syndrome for some reason. He actually has us blocked on Twitter, strangely enough.

33:40Rod Palmer Yeah. For all his for all this, his tough talk, Plutator doesn't listen forty hours per week, and

33:47Richard Greaser it shows. No. He's he's too busy, sleuthing on who to snitch on on Twitter.

33:55Rod Palmer How many how many times do you think that Plutator snitched on Jason Williams? Oh, I think, I think I'm trying to submit an, a foyer request to the federal government to to officially find out how many personal emails, that Pleditor sent to Gary Gensler about going parabolic, in his meme coin activity.

34:17Rod Palmer I predict it's somewhere in the thousands. I think that predator submitted, you know, something to Gary Gensler every single day of the Biden administration. I guess

34:30Richard Greaser a topic that we could talk about is this event at Pub Key. It looks like so you were saying BTC Sessions, one of the biggest promoters of more women in Bitcoin, celebrated his fortieth, birthday at PUBG. It looks like I'm looking at a video of him singing karaoke there, with some guy with weird gloves laying on the floor. There are a lot of influence on Yeah. He was singing, Creed.

34:55Richard Greaser Oh.

34:57Rod Palmer How was this? Yeah. Yeah. Mike, Mike Germano had a, had a big, introduction. He introduced, BTC sessions before his song. We sang creed. You could see, Niko from Simply Bitcoin was there. Optimus, Opti was there. He looked kinda drunk in the background.

35:17Rod Palmer You probably had just made out miss Hall a lot in the bathroom at that point. Sally Sally was there. It looks like he, dyed his hair like Eminem. So he's got, like, a curly Jewish fro that's, like, bleached blonde. Chris Alaimo,

35:36Rod Palmer if you guys don't know who that is, look like he was there. Look like, Kendall, the hot, Bitcoin Spaces girl was there.

35:47Richard Greaser A lot of people at Pub Key. Yeah. There were a lot of people at Pub Key. Tatum turn up was there. He's one of the Tatum. Yeah. Yeah. Tatum,

35:56Rod Palmer Maggie. Maggie Morse, here at the Bugle. She's a big she's she had a big crush on Tatum. She thinks Tatum is hot and, Tatum wipes here in the Tatum had a bad weekend. He he saw his, he saw his ex girlfriend backstage at the ultra music festival in Miami. She was hanging out with, with Diplo and Steve Aoki.

36:19Rod Palmer And for some people, you know, Tatum's ex sounds a lot like miss Hobblemont, so you can imagine the emotions he has when he sees her on the timeline or a YouTube video backstage in Miami.

36:34Richard Greaser It's pretty tough. Looks like it was Sally wearing the weird gloves in the video and laying on the floor.

36:40Rod Palmer Yeah. Sally almost made it and into the, into the Maxi Madness tournament. Unfortunately, he just really hasn't been super active on Twitter the past few months, and it was we weren't sure if he was going to, he was gonna participate. And then he comes out of the woodwork, and he starts partying, after Maxi Madness drama kicks off.

37:03Rod Palmer So apologies to you, Sully. We would have liked to see you compete in Maxi Madness this year. Well,

37:09Richard Greaser there's still a chance we'll probably be ending the promotion of the Maxi Madness shirt until next year. There's still chance to head over to Orange label and get one of those limited edition t shirts. Maybe we won't bring it back next year. But if we do it next year, there'll be another probably a different iteration of it.

37:34Rod Palmer Yeah. Oh, for sure.

37:36Richard Greaser Still working on I I haven't had the the chance to finalize, I I think I need to revamp the comply line, but look out for that coming out in the future. The comply line is still stellar, of course. I I would say the flagship clothing line that the Beagle has right now is the 40 HPW line. Shadrach, so I have a picture of him wearing his,

37:59Richard Greaser 40 HPW, kind of like cigarette themed shirt.

38:06Rod Palmer Nice. Yeah. I wore that Nashville this weekend and I got a lot of compliments on it for me. People who didn't even, know what forty hours per week was. They, they really liked the shirt. And we had some people who

38:21Rod Palmer reached out and said that they they really wanted a forty hours per week shirt. They didn't want like something that said, this is a Bitcoin podcaster or this is what, you know, my husband is a big, they just wanted a big prominent 40 HPW logo. And so that is now available. So if you go to the website, check that out, you can get just the the OG 40 HPW logo that's now available.

38:45Richard Greaser Rob Hamilton was looking pretty good in his PodConv gear, but I would suggest not buying Podkonf gear especially after they did us so dirty in the tournament.

38:56Rod Palmer Yeah. I had a chance to I ran into Rob this weekend in Nashville. He bought me a pack of, Marlboro Reds. So I was smoking on those. This weekend is probably why my voice is a little raspy. I was smoking reds with, with a virus or something. I don't know. Also ran into, Brandon De Jesse Schrader from Amboss.

39:19Rod Palmer He was you know, everybody at Bitcoin Plark on Friday afternoon when I was there had already left for the day. Everybody gone home. Maybe they were they were excited to sit in, Nashville, rush hour traffic, listen to Bitcoin gas. They wanted to get an early start on their listening that weekend, but Jesse, for me, and boss was still at Bitcoin Park working very, very hard to make a boss the most compliant lightning infrastructure, company in the space. Really, really excited. He's really excited about Tethr on Lightning and and making that available too. So,

39:54Rod Palmer if you wanna use compliant Tethr Lightning,

39:58Richard Greaser look up Jesse, look up Amboss. I think Voltage is trying to give Amboss a run for their money as far as,

40:04Rod Palmer Yeah. That's where I when I saw Jesse, I was like, you're the guy from Voltage. Right? And he's like, no Amboss. I'm like, oh, I really I apologize. I get you guys confused all the time. You're just so compliant. It's like a neck,

40:17Richard Greaser neck and neck race for the most compliant Lightning infrastructure company that sometimes I get too confused. Yeah. I think I think there's definitely an arms race between a lot of these Bitcoin companies to see who can be the most compliant by June. They're getting ready. Yeah.

40:31Rod Palmer Yeah. They are. They're getting ready for the next big tournament. So, if you, if your feelings were hurt for Maxi Madness, hopefully, you get over that because we are sixty days away from compliance pride month and compliance pride tournament. So big stuff. Definitely.

40:53Richard Greaser One one thing I do wanna say and and kinda plug is stay tuned for Vegas. We're gonna have some announcements in Vegas. We're pretty much locked in on doing a live event that highly encourage people if you're if you're planning on going there to be at it's not gonna be at the conference. It'll be a side event. And I will announce details of that more publicly

41:17Richard Greaser when it is public, but we'll hopefully also be doing some more events in partnership with some other groups. But we're just kinda waiting to finalize things and announce it once that actually happens. But the Bugle will be live in person, and I think it's gonna be a little bit more interesting than just a live Bugle weekly podcast. But that could be on the agenda too. We we very well could do a live Bugle weekly. Big crowd.

41:46Rod Palmer Big show. You've completely phrased. I can't hear anything you're saying or you your video froze too. And now you're you're back. Yeah, sorry about that.

41:56Richard Greaser Technical difficulties, revolution won't have good UX, but now I'm back. Yeah, I missed the last of what you just said, but yeah, Vegas

42:06Rod Palmer could be great. Well, yeah. Yeah. I didn't say much about Vegas. I was just piggybacking off of what you were saying about, big live show coming up. But, look, yeah, stay tuned for more information about that. Yeah. So do we, do we have any, more announcements or things that we wanna plug? No. I think, I think we I think it's I'm excited to get into the, the boosts. So these the boosts will be on our one year anniversary

42:34Rod Palmer episode, And we got a lot of base up, a lot of cigarettes, that we can afford after, after this episode's boost. So really excited to get into those. Totally. Yeah.

42:48Richard Greaser I had fun with the one year episode. That was a good episode. It was Kaylee's first episode back since her hiatus, so that was pretty cool. But we also had, to kind of recap if you didn't listen to that one, you should go back and listen to it. We had a lot of people send in, like, really heartfelt messages. We had Mars, Steven Lobka,

43:10Richard Greaser Rob Hamilton, Sly Goomba, fundamentals. Fundamentals' message was really, really nice. Kaylee said some nice words about us. Am I missing anybody? I think that was it. Plug chain. We pulled from,

43:24Rod Palmer one of their podcast episodes directly.

43:26Richard Greaser Mhmm. That was a really good one. You did a really good job on that that show. I would encourage anybody that hasn't listened to Plugged Chain's interview of Rod Palmer to go check that out. Awesome episode. Great, great discussion on Maxi Madness. It's a little bit dated now. Things have updated since then, but it was an absolutely fundamental

43:49Richard Greaser or phenomenal interview, I would say.

43:53Rod Palmer Oh, yeah.

43:54Richard Greaser Cool. Well, let's get into the boost. So first boost from fundamentals, 21000¢. It's quite a few cigarettes. Quite a few cigarettes. It's 21 cigarettes. That's over two packs. Congrats, boys. It's a true achievement to have accomplished and built what you did this year. I'm remembering how I would go on podcast last year and make them talk about the bugle. Intellectual Silk Road, he said 49 HPW, so he's boosting it up a little bit. No KYC SIGs, the list goes on. You guys have crushed it, and I can't wait to see what you guys do next. I wanna wanna say a big thank you to Fundamentals. I think Fundamentals has been

44:34Richard Greaser a huge addition. I would consider him my comedy coach. I have yet to go and take an attempt at stand up. Life's been a little bit busy, but it's definitely on the docket. He gave me a crash course in the world of comedy, which I really didn't have a ton of knowledge of, showed me a lot of his favorite comedians. He told us jokes. He sent us clips from the past of his jokes.

45:01Richard Greaser Really, really, quality guy who's also been a big, big supporter of the Bugle. And it you know, one of the ways that you can sort support the Bugle like fundamentals is just to get the word out there about us. Because I don't think there's a lot of people that know specifically everything that we're doing. A lot of people are resting on their worlds and I'll listen to 40 Bitcoin podcast. There's there's quite a few people that don't know that we have a pocket. You know that Pierre Richard didn't know that we had a podcast? It's crazy. Yeah. It's reset in spaces.

45:35Rod Palmer Yeah. Von Metals is, you know, he he's given us really big props here and we deserve them. But who really deserves props themselves? In the past year, it's been fundamentals himself. Fundamentals is now he's on three or four different podcasts out. He's so he's got Rockford with Bitcoin. He's got Back on Shame. I don't know the name. Like, what's the name of the the math podcast?

46:03Rod Palmer It's it's, I'm blanking on that one. But

46:07Richard Greaser I tried I tried listening. I tried listening to his math podcast and it was a little bit too much for me.

46:15Rod Palmer Yeah, it's not for everybody.

46:17Richard Greaser Yeah, I'm a credentialed journalist. I have an 81 IQ. I didn't go to school for math. I went to school for journalism. There's not a whole lot of math done in journalism. So, I struggled with that one a little bit, but I did think it was a really cool idea of a podcast, which is helping people to

46:37Rod Palmer verify- Do forty hours of math. Yeah. And do forty hours of math from work a week. But, yeah, in the last year, Fundamentals has quickly become my favorite Jewish Bitcoin podcaster, for sure.

46:51Richard Greaser There's quite a few Jewish Bitcoin podcasters, so that's a that's a pretty, that's a pretty big title. Ron Palmer's favorite Jewish Bitcoin podcaster. Trying to think who's It's out there. I don't know who my favorite Jewish Bitcoin pod is. Right? I probably see his fundamentals too.

47:09Rod Palmer Phil, the next so, yeah, thank you so much, fundamentals. Everything you say, really take that to heart. You've been one of our biggest supporters this whole time, and it was great to meet you in person last year in, in Nashville.

47:27Rod Palmer The next one is from one of our one of our best boosters here in the past few months, late stage HODL. He boosts 15,000 sats. He's a big booster. He's a big dollar booster for sure. He says, I don't understand what everyone was complaining about regarding the Maxi Madness Committee Biggs. The credentials of the committee should not be questioned agreed. And just like I read in

47:52Rod Palmer excuse me. In my book to my two year old child, you get what you get and you don't get upset. Probably written by Ludwig von Nises or Salma Hayek or something. Credentialed, trusted, verified. Yeah. Thank you very much, Lace Stage, for the support, and

48:09Rod Palmer understanding the importance of trusting and not second guessing a credentialed journalist in a credentialed committee exactly. You get what you get, and you don't get upset. That's

48:24Rod Palmer that's what the acting matters is all about. There's nobody gets to have undue influence or they don't get to manipulate our decisions or the committee's decisions. They just get put in based on

48:38Rod Palmer what they've put out there and what we think they deserve and you get what you get from there. And if you cry about it, you probably just won't be included next year. Totally.

48:49Richard Greaser I agree. I mean, the community, I believe, did a really good job. I don't think the committee made any mistakes. I think they really researched the contestants. It's it's hard because there's so many so many qualified people to compete in the tournament that could have been included, and I think they really had a lot of thought put behind who they picked. And

49:12Richard Greaser I'm I'm proud of the committee. I stand behind them wholeheartedly, and I'm not gonna apologize for their their awesome performance and and strategic picks. I think the tournament was a smashing success. I think a lot of people had a lot of fun time now. There were some source source sports, people that probably lost bets. There might be some bookies going and stealing people's washing machines to try and collect on some unpaid dues. We do know a lot of Bitcoiners don't have any dry powder to pay their bookies if they lose a bet.

49:44Richard Greaser But, you know, I mean, I'm not I stand behind it. I stand behind it all wholeheartedly. And I I really appreciate the

49:51Rod Palmer the boost late stage huddle and Gradiential don't care about your feelings.

49:57Richard Greaser I I I do wanna highlight. I I I really think it is a cool thing to do if you're a parent to read to read to your children. I think that's really a quality, thing to do as a parent. And my my father did it to for me, I I do it for my son. I I read my son, all sorts of books. I'm reading him software by Jason Lowry, reading him,

50:24Richard Greaser broken money by Lin Alden. I mean, obviously, done the Bitcoin standard. And, you know, I have read my son the Bitcoin or sorry, Atlas Shrugged a few times already, and he loves it. He loves Atlas Shrugged so much when when Hank Reardon goes into his monologue

50:44Richard Greaser during the court case, that that's like my son's favorite part of the book. He he starts jumping up and down and cheering, during that section. Yeah.

50:56Rod Palmer Well, I got time is, limited right now. So we got to rip through some of these some of these boosts. The next one is from, well, actually, the next one is yours.

So, yeah, Pies, we always get multiple double boosts, triple boosts, separate boosts. Pies is coming back. He's boosted multiple times. Just so active.

55:03Rod Palmer Yeah, I gotta go, I gotta go tend to the mushrooms growing in my basement. I got a mushroom shaman here to help me figure this out. So, that's a pretty cool thing. I'll share my experiences with that. That's after this, harvest is over. So

55:29Unknown I light my cigarette and take a good long puff. I live with no regrets. I've heard quite enough. They whisper

55:44Unknown their lies, yet still I'm immune. Pain will make you wise. I have nothing left to lose. I'm the man they

55:59Unknown warned you about, the one that gives them fear. I have no room for doubt. My direction crystal clear.

56:11Unknown I'll burn it all to the ground before I will ever submit. Can you hear the sound, the song of the ungovernable misfit? I won't live my life for you

56:30Unknown nor ask you to live yours for mine. Seeking what is good and true, never wasting a moment of time. Choosing discomfort

56:45Unknown in search of something it all to the ground before I will ever submit. Can you hear the sound, the song of the ungovernable

57:25Unknown misfit?

57:29Unknown I don't care what the masses think. They don't have the capacity

57:33Unknown to use their brains.

57:36Unknown They drown their sorrows in distractions and drink. Pumping

57:59Unknown I'm the man they warned you about, the one that gives them fear. I have no room for doubt, my direction crystal

58:12Unknown clear. I'll burn it all to the ground before I will ever submit. Can you hear the sound of the song of the ungovernable misfit?
