0:00Richard Greaser It is with profound joy and sexual pleasure that I come to you with news of your haters demise. Every bitch, baby, pussy boy, and fat bitch with a wet bum who has talked shit on your good name is about to be cursed with a winter so frigid that they will lose a minimum of three toes to frostbite. Their relationships will corrode. Discontent will accompany every breath they take.

0:25Richard Greaser Their finances will dry up like elderly poontang. Every sour seed they have sown with you in mind will be harvested for them to choke upon. All of your haters are about to spend their mornings scrubbing dog shit off their crocs. Their debit cards will get declined, forcing them to be looked down upon by a three hundred pound woman in a referee shirt named Unique. Every person who dares to root for your misfortune will have their Big Mac clenched

0:55Rod Palmer by the pungent scrotum of a brain damaged McDonald's employee

0:59Richard Greaser who spends most of his shift watching cartel beheading videos on his phone at full volume. They'll also have their beloved Cookie Monster pajama pants stolen out of the dryer while they take a shit in a laundromat bathroom whose overhead light burns out before they can wipe. As luck would have it, your haters are also about to endure some medical issues. They'll develop a mouth to asshole rash which will perplex dermatologists

1:24Richard Greaser and mortify lovers. They'll also develop acne so severe that each red hot bump on their face will be confused for the penis of a sex crazed beagle. Dear friend, as your haters endure this marathon of misery, may your days be a bukkake of cash,

1:43Richard Greaser positivity, and love. Those are the words of comedian Mike Rainey, and that is dedicated to all behaviors of the Bugle. Let's go.

1:58Kailey Welch This is Kaley Welch, and you are listening to the Bugle Weekly, the most thermodynamically sound podcast in

2:08Richard Greaser the world.

2:10Rod Palmer Hell, yeah. Welcome back to the Bitcoin Bugle. I am back this week. Rob Lumber is in the house. And today's a special special episode. This is the first time we got a guest. Myself and Richard are here to interview them and to chat with them. So we're really excited. And today we're here with fundamentals from the rock paper Bitcoin podcast. He is from The Big Apple, the city of Fentanyl, Philadelphia. How are you doing, Fundamentals?

2:38Richard Greaser I'm doing pretty good. I thought The Big Apple was New York. But, Wow. Tomato to Mayo. I'm from there. I'm from there too.

2:46Rod Palmer So for a little bit of context, fundamentals is a little bit newer to Bitcoin than some of our listeners. He's in he's listened to over one thousand hours of half day Bitcoin. He was orange pill by the best by Tomer, by Natalie Brunel, by Sam Callahan, but he's also an aspiring comedian, and he's looking to tell his first funny joke. And, hopefully, we will get that first funny joke today here on this episode. Dude. So

3:11Richard Greaser let's go. You are literally wearing a t shirt that says Manhattan with a fucking big apple on

3:17Rod Palmer it. I have but there's big apples all over the Northeast. I thought it was all it was all connected. The city out of the city and the city of brotherly lab. That's why Philadelphia is known for. Is that because, that word is that where, the guy, the actor, he got AIDS in Philadelphia?

3:33Richard Greaser That that's correct.

3:35Rod Palmer Yeah. Yeah. Who am I thinking? I I have brain farting

3:38Richard Greaser in every time? He tries to get AIDS everywhere.

3:40Rod Palmer Tomics. Tomics. Tomics. Tomics. Tomics. Tomics. Tomics. Tomics. Tomics. Tomics. Tomics. Tomics. Tomics. Tomics. Tomics. Tomics. Tomics. Tomics. He's he's Gallagher, the comedian with the, the mallets and the watermelons? Is he from Philadelphia as well? He should be.

3:50Richard Greaser He should be. Alright. Wow. Thank you so much. That's I mean, I tried to tell you guys this, like, really early on, you know, when you guys were working for PodConf and you guys were like, No, but we we know the deal. You know, we only work for them, but we're not associated with them. You guys, you just, you have no idea the effect it has when you work, when you're, even, you don't even have to work for them. You just, like, letting, first of all, I'm not even sure if that was the real Steven Luca that was on the show last week, to be honest.

4:19Rod Palmer But like Okay. Okay. We talked about it a little bit before we started recording. Can you get into why you're why you're skeptical of this? You listen to a lot of Deafy Bitcoin, so you know him, and you know his voice very well. So if anybody's asked for Amir if anybody's got the credentials to question

4:40Richard Greaser Steve and Luca, it would be you. That is correct. Dude, I used to look forward to those macro Fridays, man. And I think Steven Lukka is a brilliant guy. Okay? And when he goes on, even, like, some of the funny talker podcasts that I typically don't like, If he's on it, I will go listen to it because, you know, he's a smart guy. That is so dude, I did not get that. I didn't get any of that last week. Like, not even a scintilla

5:09Richard Greaser of that dude from the conversation last week. I basically got a guy making really fucking lame jokes about PodCon, honestly, and

5:21Rod Palmer I don't know. A fan, did it?

5:23Richard Greaser It was it was like I don't know. I kinda found it galling in a certain way. Maybe like this is just somewhat you guys just growing into yourselves, but I feel like Podkoff, got a big W and you guys took a big L last week.

5:41Rod Palmer I would I I ate a lot of bruises at El Salvador, and I really grew into myself down there. And I so I think I've kind of got a good grasp. This isn't my first rodeo, so to speak. But, Ari, are you accusing

5:59Rod Palmer the last episode of being what we used to call native advertising where it was basically a pod comp cock fest ad,

6:08Richard Greaser that we disguised as regular content? Not at all. No. Not at all. I I think I think you guys I wouldn't come on this show if I didn't think you guys acted in good faith. You know? I think that you guys are, still figuring out the world. It's only been a it's only been a month or so. And by the way, I'm the first to say it, like, the quality of what you guys do, it's so noticeable. Like, after you broke your contract with PodComp, it's totally fucking noticeable. I I don't think you get a get like Kaylee. By the way, what's up Kaylee? Looking good. But I don't think you get a get like that with PodConf. I don't even think you get the idea, to be honest. Right? So like the the quality

6:50Richard Greaser is much better. You know, there's no association. And I thought you were really just trying to bring a smart guy even though, like I feel like you guys were willing to bring him on because he's smart and has can shed light on some things. And I'm just it almost occur it almost occurred to me like it just

7:09Richard Greaser like, that motherfucker ain't real.

7:12Rod Palmer So let me be clear.

7:14Richard Greaser What can be, unburdened by what has been.

7:19Richard Greaser And Cornpop was a bad dude, and he ran a bunch of bad boys.

7:25Unknown We are progressive Bitcoiners for Kamala Harris, and these are our stories. In your own words, why do you believe progressives need Bitcoin?

7:37Unknown When I think about why progressives need Bitcoin, I think of trans folks who face an inordinate amount of economic struggles, not least of which is the gender pay gap. After completing their transition, many trans women find themselves taking 20% pay cuts and unable to afford their taxes. I'm Jennifer from Texas, and this is my story. That's why I believe progressives need Bitcoin.

8:02Richard Greaser Yeah. I would disagree. I I think Lobka, you know, he did a good job. I think it's important to have him on on the show. You know, and, like, part of part of what's really important, you know, for the intellectual Silk Road is converting PODConf people, you know. And all I did was, like, ask questions and essentially, you know, show, you know, just how lame PodConv is. Because, like, people Right.

8:25Rod Palmer People don't want Yeah. Yeah. I think this is similar to like, if you are anti conservative, you still go on like the Tucker Carlson show because you want to reach his audience. You want to give them the right message. And I think that, this is kind of the same where maybe flip the script a little bit where it's, we'll have a Podcove approach person, because not every the world is not black and white. It's not Podcove versus non Podcove. There are a lot of people in Podcove who are just working for a salary.

9:00Rod Palmer And if you look at all the contributions, like the sun is important, welding and exercise is important. He is preaching these things that you're not gonna get this information in other sources. So he the question is, is Lubbock a net positive or a net negative or is it a wash? And I would say that there are times where, especially when

9:24Rod Palmer he's talking about health, it's a net positive.

9:27Richard Greaser Yeah. Well, here's my problem. So he didn't come on and talk about any of that. He wasn't his like 180 IQ self. He was like 110 IQ version of himself. And, you know, if anything, I think he took an L on his name for

9:42Rod Palmer portraying himself that way and staying under his own name. I love that he was under instruction from Podkoff to deliver the message that he delivered. I mean, he is under contract. He has a little bit more to lose in his contract than we did, which was just our real plan memberships. So, you know, perhaps Lotka is a good dude, but he is compromised. And if Lotka is compromised, that means anybody who is in PodCon, like, maybe somebody from Simply Bitcoin,

10:10Richard Greaser you're like, these guys are Sentinel, but they or they could still be compromised. But he can't be himself when he comes on here. Like, we come then, you know, this is your house, right?

10:21Rod Palmer He has to he he are you saying he's not allowed to be himself? No. I'm not saying he's not allowed to. I'm saying maybe he didn't he he didn't think he was able to do that.

10:31Richard Greaser It's just one of the whole challenges with dealing with PodCon in general is, you know, you have to go through the KYC process, right, with them? And so in that, you know, they have your home address. Like, they know where you live. They know where your family is. And that's, like, a lot of pressure. And, like, even if there aren't explicit demands I mean, you can see how aggressive the PodConf Twitter account is, you know, coming after us, bossing us around, you know, encouraging us. They're trying to sue

11:02Richard Greaser us. Well, they're they're trying to get the Department of Justice to essentially investigate us right now to see if, you know, we're in colluding with the Russians. Essentially, like, you know, colluding with the Russians means, you don't share the Podkoff talking points. Like, that's essentially what that

11:23Rod Palmer Right. And one of the biggest defenses that we have that we have not been paid by Russia is that we don't currently accept US dollars or Monero for payment. So it's very unlikely that, intelligence agencies in Moscow have been able to even get to us or reach us because we don't accept their form of money. We gotta use the KGB Monero coin. Yeah. I mean, when Ted Pool was getting paid by Russia today, you know, he's getting paid by, US dollars.

11:54Richard Greaser Like we explicitly block ourselves off from that intentionally by using Bitcoin.

12:01Richard Greaser And maybe it was a loss for PodConf all around because now, like, I just think a lot of people when they like, a lot of people maybe not like maybe they don't like Peter McCormack's podcast. Okay? But if there's a lot of people who don't like that, to be sure. We wanna make sure that that is yeah. Agree. But a lot of these people, if they see Steven is on his show, they'll be like, they'll suck it up because to see his signal. I'm definitely Sure. One of those guys. And I think a lot I think after last week's appearance, like, even the possibility that he maybe, you know, that he's not gonna give his full signal, which is brilliant. Right? He's a brilliant man. And, like,

12:42Richard Greaser I just think that now I don't know how much risk I wanna take listening to a podcast I don't like just because he's on it. Where is it? So maybe Podkomf's losing a little bit here too. So maybe he isn't

12:54Rod Palmer That's a good perspective. Talking about risk when it comes to Steven Lundka, if you follow him on Twitter, you see he posts his pictures of, him after he worked out and he's getting pretty ripped. Would you, feel comfortable letting your wife go to the gym knowing Steve of love can mind either working out?

13:13Richard Greaser No fucking way, man. No fucking way. He he's gonna think I actually don't like him in real life because of he's gonna think I'm being sarcastic this whole time. I'm not I genuinely like you, and I didn't like you last week. Wow. Moving on. One of the things that we talk a lot about with

13:30Rod Palmer people on the intellectual Silk Road, such as yourself, that we don't necessarily really get into the, you know, talking baseball, so to speak, is some of the satire and comedy that we see in the space. And it's something that you really like and something that you're really into. Can you kind of talk about your failed journey in standup comedy and like why you're so drawn to standup comedy podcasts? So I think outside of Bitcoin podcasts, the largest growing industry is comedy podcasts. And you're a big fan of both.

14:03Richard Greaser Absolutely. Indeed. And, you know, before I get into that, like, I really do think we're making history today on the Bugle podcast. And I think I'm the first person really who's coming on as themself. And it's really fucking confusing to do this and, I think it's gonna be awesome still. And you're right man, I had a beautifully failed

14:25Richard Greaser comedy career. The biggest, you know, I had my ups and downs. Okay. I did open mics for three years. Personal, had some personal achievements, but never, I mean, it's hard not to call it a failure when You never got to a podcast level, though. Well, I mean, the last time I actually the last open mic I went to I was still waiting at two in the morning to go up. Like I had really had I was a nobody, like an absolute nobody. My only claim to fame was like you know I got to hang out with guys like Matt McCusker and you know all of Shane's boys but I left I left that scene like a minute before Shane arrived. I never knew him. So I don't even get Dan Gillis, of course. He's talking about Shane Gillis, the one of the most famous comedians in the world right now. Correct. Yes. We established that I was from Philadelphia doing that open mic scene. The Big Apple.

15:13Richard Greaser The Big Apple. The Big Apple. Yeah. Now the fucking Big Apple. At one point, I, got so angry during an open mic that I got in front of the room and said that I would bet my life savings for the rest of my life that not a single person in this room is gonna make it. And, I'm pretty sure no none of the guys that have made it were there. So I think I'm okay on that bet. What what, what prompted this frustration? What prompted this outburst?

15:40Rod Palmer So it's I I I as somebody who has followed the comedy game for a long time, it's not a perfect one to one comparison, but being able to tell good jokes on stage and get the audience to laugh is similar to being able to orange pill. And if you can't do one and you can't do the other, right, so you you can kinda compare the strategies. So were you were were you a successful orange pillar on stage,

16:08Richard Greaser so to speak? It depends what your definition of success was. For me, if I like would hear my tape back and I hear like one laugh or one like, oh fuck. Like as long as people reacted, I was pretty happy.

16:21Rod Palmer Do you have a joke that that was that you're most proud of? Or what was your style? Was it like Mitch Hedberg one liners or did you have stories or a persona?

16:32Richard Greaser I was I think, like, my comedy idol really was Greg Duraldo, and I think it took me a long time to grow out of his voice. So I think most of the jokes I wrote were just sort of had him in my mind. So Greg Giraldo, Patrice O'Neil, Jim Norton, guys like that. So, alright, I mean, I'm happy to tell a couple I'll tell one of the jokes that I was most proud of. Let's go.

16:59Rod Palmer Okay.

17:01Richard Greaser So a lot of what my set was built around was that I have a Latino wife, Latina wife. So I would ease into that a little bit and then I would ease into that and then I would get to this the following joke which is I would say it's very hard to be married to a Latina. There are a lot of cultural difficulties

17:27Richard Greaser that we have to work out. For example, I occasionally like being on time for things. She couldn't give a fuck. And like we could fight very hard just about being on time somewhere. It would drive me crazy. But like I've never raised a hand to her, I've never been violent, I've never had anything like that happen. And that is also unfortunate because now her parents don't think I love her.

17:53Rod Palmer That's pretty good. Did how did she think your jokes? How did how did they hit with her? She loved it. They she

18:02Richard Greaser I don't know. I mean, women love when you talk about them

18:05Rod Palmer pretty much. It's like you could say They do. They just allowed to be this center of attention. Right? Yeah. She's like, oh, he's tough. And that's why that's why that's how that's how how I think we should tailor our message to get more women in Bitcoin is let them know if you come to the Bitcoin conference or you come on a Bitcoin podcast, you will be the center of attention. Everybody will want to talk to you. You'll be the biggest guest because people just want to hear, especially if you're attractive, they just wanna hear your orange peeling story. They just wanna hear any story.

18:38Richard Greaser So, yeah, I think that's we should that's a that's an that's a good insight. Yeah. Very good. Did she ever hit you with a chocolate, or is that just for your kids?

18:47Richard Greaser I let me tell you something, man. I've that the family that I'm married into is pretty goddamn Latina. Okay?

18:57Rod Palmer You know So they really like Tether. They're a big fan of Tether being from the global South. I've never like, the chanquetta, that is like

19:05Richard Greaser I'm not gonna say I'm not gonna say that it's, it's not our style. I'll just put that. I what I what I see is hand to hand beating, typically.

19:17Richard Greaser She just skipped the, she skips the chanquile altogether.

19:21Richard Greaser I mean, I guess. I, I've, I don't think she ever got a chanquiletta. Although that's like a nice, I feel like an, a nice meme that maybe is a it's like a catchall for, like, I got the shit beat out of me in a variety of ways, but this is like a cute way I'm gonna explain it to you. That's what I would I mean, that's a that's a what I would call tough love. Right? That's how you show your love in certain cultures.

19:47Rod Palmer And I thought money is for hard men, but it's also for hard women, like a woman who grows up, receiving the like maybe more of like a football coach type of of relationship with her husband. That makes her, I think, more appreciative of of of hard money, but I don't know. Maybe that's just my opinion. Yeah. Hard hard money should be hard to spend. Right? And it should be hard for Australia. It should be hard for your husband to fucking rip away from you. If you made if you made sure why your wife has no access to US dollars or credit cards and but she has a loaded up Bitcoin wallet,

20:24Rod Palmer you're safe because you can't spend it anywhere. So high money being hard to use is great for a wife who doesn't

20:32Richard Greaser have too much self control when it comes to spending. Yeah. I mean, I think that's a great point. And it's like, you you don't want like, probably the one of the worst things that could ever happen for Bitcoiners is for Target to allow you to spend their Bitcoin there. Because your stack is gonna

20:50Rod Palmer That would be awful. That would be

20:53Richard Greaser Like, this this is actually, like, an argument for why we shouldn't want women in Bitcoin. So Because if we have women in Bitcoin, the next thing you know is IKEA is gonna be supporting, you know, Bitcoin payments, and then your whole stack is just gonna be gone. Do we think Will Reeves is part of, like, the, like, the WEF and, you know, trying to

21:15Richard Greaser cause divorces?

21:17Rod Palmer I think the and I I I had no proof of this. It's pure speculation. I'll have nothing but love for Will Reeves in full, but I think that trying to make Bitcoin easier to spend is a symptom of low testosterone and I think if you look at Bitcoin, it is the perfect money for a married man for two reasons. It's hard to spend and it's transparent. Your wife can't secretly spend on shoes,

21:44Rod Palmer clothes, a new, a new thing for the house that you don't even have a place for that you have to put in the, in the garage outside. It's hard to get into. It's full of spiders and she makes you carry it out there because she thinks one day she'll have some space in her house for this stupid item she got at the antique store. When she spends that over her own credit card, I have no access to see those records. She could get out there and hide that item before I even get home. But being able to go on my note and look at the addresses I've assigned to her and see that she spent, oh, a thousand SaaS today when I was at work, Now I can go home and I can have a tough conversation

22:23Richard Greaser with her. Yeah, I mean, I think the key is, is it's not making Bitcoin impossible to spend on everything. It's just Only on prem. So like, you need to focus on the necessities because the best way to purchase cigarettes is peer to peer non KYC.

22:43Rod Palmer Yeah, and in some states, the only place you can buy raw milk is with Bitcoin. So it's like, those are, those are the essentials. Those are the things the family needs to survive. Raw milk, cigarettes, what have you, not, you know, menolo Blahnik shoes, things like that.

23:03Richard Greaser They should at least have to wait a year before they buy a purse.

23:08Rod Palmer Yeah. Half time lock. Like once this unlocks and it's gone up 10 except for the next bull run, you can spend some of your SATs on a purse. Fine. That's fine. I, in the meantime, am going to spend a few thousand dollars testing Seed Designer, Jade, Bitbox, Cogard,

23:26Rod Palmer all of those. Those are those are, I guess you could call those processes, but they're much more important. They're much

23:33Richard Greaser more secure. And you get more SACS back unfold for those things. Yeah. Then honestly, if we want to get more weight in Bitcoin, we should create a special hardware wallet. They'll call it a full storage purse, and then women would love it. Well, I mean, maybe the maybe this phenomenon of why there's not more women in Bitcoin is because of things like Target. You know, they just inherently have figured out how to hijack the female's brain so much that it just puts them in a perpetual state of high time preference. And that's something that Bitcoin hasn't solved yet. And I don't think it's something that Bitcoin needs to solve yet.

24:09Richard Greaser What if a woman ran a company like Fold and got, like, 15% sats back for handbags?

24:16Richard Greaser I think that's a really dangerous proposition.

24:20Rod Palmer That's really dangerous. I think Ford would have a very hard time staying in business if they had to give women that, you know, sats back every time they bought something unnecessary, that's why they had, that's why they had to remove any incentive for you to spin the wheel every day. You get like one sat because it was making them go broke. If you were going to give women money back, get a point back, hold money back every time they bought something stupid, they would not be a public company anymore. They would be out of business. So I think that it should that should be very familiar with their marketing is all I'm saying. That's all I'm saying. Right. But, like, you know, the more women in Bitcoin, the more we're we're gonna get a company.

24:54Richard Greaser We're gonna get a, like, a fold that actually makes, you know, makes it possible to stack Right. Like, for women to stack sets.

25:02Rod Palmer Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, some countries that's not even allowed. Maybe we could get The United States back there someday, but for now we have to take that into consideration. But another, that I think you could draw between comedy and Bitcoin and women is there's not very many women in comedy, just like there's not that many women in Bitcoin. Some people think that's a good thing, some people don't, but why so why

25:27Rod Palmer similar to it's very difficult for women to be funny, why is it difficult for women to understand thermodynamics

25:34Richard Greaser and Bitcoin? I don't think it's hard, actually. I think that that I think we're being psyched and we're just not we're not elevating the voices of the women that do get it. We're just not they're not getting on podcast.

25:45Rod Palmer Well, that's that's an interesting perspective. However, in my experience, if you log onto Twitter and you have, an avatar of a female, and you go on spaces and you talk about,

26:00Rod Palmer you know, macro and Bitcoin like Michelle Weekly, I mean, that's how these feds use the they use women to kind of infiltrate the community. So if the federal, if the Fed women are able to do it so easily,

26:16Richard Greaser why not the theoretical non Fed woman? Maybe it is fucking pointless. Maybe understanding thermodynamics isn't that important.

26:25Rod Palmer Well, I mean, there was a study that was done by NPR, National Public Radio, and it actually made its rounds today again on Twitter, because it showed everybody at the NPR headquarters took a testosterone test and every man at NPR was way below

26:46Rod Palmer the healthy amount. Every single man at NPR was, at a level that many clinicians would recommend, medication to treat

26:57Rod Palmer the low testosterone and they also noticed that, with transgastema on, when they started taking testosterone, they became much more interested in things like science, mathematics, engineering. So the dignity is just as simple

27:12Rod Palmer as biology.

27:13Richard Greaser Well, it could be. Why do you think I don't this is an interesting question. Why do you think that phenomena is happening at NPR? Like, do you have a theory?

27:24Richard Greaser It's obvious that they believe that smoking's bad for you. Like, what what a, like, what a low tea environment, you know, to to believe that. But, like, are they Super simple. They could literally be pointing a fucking laser

27:37Richard Greaser at their headquarters that, you know, or just feeding them estrogen in their fucking cafeteria.

27:43Rod Palmer Or Do you think they have to? Or maybe they just they naturally attract. They just did a good job of yeah. They just select. They know they know how to select. Self selection. Right. The soy boys. Well, I think about how bad as New York City was, up until the 1990s. And then they started banning cigarette smoking in public and look what happened. It became a much more compliant city. So I think that they know

28:08Rod Palmer that, that these effects can be

28:12Richard Greaser replicated. They they could be by banning certain things. Yeah. They got rid of they got rid of all the porno and all, like, the everything there by banning smoking pretty much was a laser shot to compliance.

28:25Rod Palmer Do you think that was the mayor's office? Do you think that was higher up? I mean, Giuliani gets credit for all that. He took credit for all that, for sure. He took credit for nineeleven. He took credit for everything. Yeah. He didn't take credit for nine '11. That was runs felt like, but he took credit for the response. Yeah.

28:41Richard Greaser Definitely. Yeah. So which court is for the nine eleven commission or,

28:47Richard Greaser the

28:48Rod Palmer I don't think many people know this, but Rudy Giuliani temporarily lifted the smoking ban for one month after nine eleven so people could process it, effectively.

28:59Richard Greaser Is he taking credit for giving all those firefighters cancer? Was that like? No, that was actually because he lifted the smoking ban.

29:07Rod Palmer People were the firefighters were smoking. It wasn't from the wreckage, you're saying? Right, right, right. And that would that would actually that would implicate, operations,

29:16Richard Greaser make them liable for damages. So it it we cannot admit that ever publicly. Giuliani was finished, by the way. Yeah. He was, like, gonna he was absolutely gonna lose the election. He was, like, in disgrace right before nine eleven, and a lot of people don't know that. And dude, it's just like nine eleven just reignited at this guy's career. Similar, similar to Netanyahu,

29:38Rod Palmer Israel before October 7.

29:41Richard Greaser Very similar.

29:42Rod Palmer Very similar. You know, not to do sidetrack. I did want to get if you had to put five faces, I'm going to answer two questions, but we'll answer the first one first. Five faces, the Mount Rushmore of,

29:58Rod Palmer of comedy and the Mount Rushmore Bitcoin podcasters. Start with comedy. Who would you put on there?

30:04Richard Greaser Well, comedy, I would have, gotta have Carlin. Okay. I would I would have, I would have Greg Giraldo and I have Louie. And then it's it's kinda tough. After that, I'd probably go with, Patrice. And,

30:21Richard Greaser you know, a lot of people would go with Richard Pryor, whatever. I I I I go with Eddie Murphy because he made me laugh harder. It's good. It's been planned. It wasn't all white guys, but thank you. Even though he stole he supposedly stole a lot of Richard Pryor shit, but he made me laugh harder. So

30:34Rod Palmer It's interesting because George Carlin didn't really tell jokes. He wasn't funny. So why would you, why would you put him on there?

30:42Richard Greaser He made it, he made an impact. So I'd say the first half of his comedy career, he was all fucking dopey, like, you know, do you ever notice kinda comic? And then something happened to him. I don't know. I don't know exactly know what it was, but then he basically started podcasting on stage.

31:02Rod Palmer So Sam Kinison. Okay. We're gonna get to that last comment she made. But Sam Kinison, he his life changed when he got in a car accident. He got hit in the head really badly And then he had very impulsive, very loud. And he kind of turned that he was a, he was a minister, like a Protestant minister. Right. And then a preacher. And he became, a stand up comic after that. So, you know, there was some moment in Carlin's life that switched and

31:31Rod Palmer you kind of alluded to it, but I think something George built George Harlin in his life. And that's when precipitated his change from a stand up, a a mid stand up to I'm so I'd bring this up. So I would put Karl in on the Bitcoin podcaster, not Rashmore, because he was the OG Bitcoin podcaster.

31:54Rod Palmer Yeah. I mean So I'm saying I'm the least, but I disagree.

31:57Richard Greaser You know, he talks, he writes about how there was a moment where he was on his private jet in JFK Airport, like, just doing a lot of code by himself and just had this moment where he was like, what the fuck? What the fuck am I doing? I don't know. He talks about that like some counterpoint.

32:16Rod Palmer Doing COVID by yourself is like listening to a Bitcoin podcast by yourself and nobody to talk to about it. And you just have so much energy, so much enthusiasm, and you just wanted to talk to somebody about these things that you've learned. And that's what Carlin did. He decided to take it on stage. She didn't have, or there was no RSS feedback then. There was no digital podcasting. There was only, you basically got people to pay you and you would stand on stage and you would tell them why the system was broken, then you would give them answers. And that's what really Carl wasn't doing. And I think Bill Hicks is another good example of that. He doesn't he wasn't telling jokes. He was archdeling.

32:50Richard Greaser Oh, absolutely. I mean, everybody should go look up the, like, Bill Hicks' last appearance on Letterman. Like, that that goes around YouTube. That's incredible. And they didn't air it. But, he's just dropping just dropping two truth bombs like fucking crazy. And then he and he died. So

33:09Richard Greaser yeah. So then who would you put on the the Mount Rushmore for Bitcoin podcasters? I mean, it's probably gonna be the same list. I mean, honestly, I I you know what? Alright. Let me get into this. Let me get into it for a second. The second you put a fucking Bitcoin podcaster on a Mount Rushmore, that's like putting them on trading cards. Alright? That's a great idea. Yeah. It just be but, like, they become they'll you know, they that's for PodCon, man. Matt Rushmore is for fucking PodCon.

33:38Rod Palmer Fuck that shit. Wait a minute about that, Richard. You've been getting into comedy lately. You've been getting more into it recently. Yeah. I just studied

33:45Richard Greaser a little bit for this episode in anticipation because I didn't know anything about comedy before.

33:52Rod Palmer Well, we knew that, but but what was your journey like? My my journey in comedy? What do you mean? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That transformation. Like, what made you decide to get into it?

34:03Richard Greaser Well, I mean, honestly, it's because fundamentals, like, told me that comedy was pretty cool, like four or five beats you. I think that was my intro into it. I didn't understand it. I would say it was the intellectual silk group. Like, that was my introduction. You get a lot of access to interesting ideas and resources

34:24Richard Greaser that are not here. Because in my background in the traditional journalist world, You're

34:33Richard Greaser not supposed to do what's funny. Like humor is the opposite of credentialed journalism in many ways. What you're taught to do in journalism school is

34:46Richard Greaser essentially take you know, all the information from your CIA handlers and just like formulate it into a,

34:55Richard Greaser an agenda. Are you saying, wait, are you saying that credential journalism is basically HR? As the opposite of comedy? Pretty much.

35:05Richard Greaser Well, I mean, and this is like, you know, why I think the bugle So I wanted to circle back to, you know, something Stephen Mufka said. So I asked him last week, you know, if he thought Lynn Alden was hot, and he would not answer it. You know? And his reason was because that would not be HR compliant at the company that he worked for. I was really proud of you proud of you for asking that question, by the way. Well, it it these are the types of important questions that people need to understand. And, like, it really pisses me off that, you know, PodConf has, like, taken so much control over these companies via the HR departments

35:43Richard Greaser where you cannot talk about whether your coworkers are hot or not. Because, like, you know, if I'm working out at the gym, I'm smoking a bunch of cigarettes, I'm I'm rolling in with IT, and my biceps are a little bit bigger than last week, You know, I want I want people to say things to me about it. Like, hey, man. Your biceps are looking good. Or, like, hey. You know, you just seem you seem, like, a little bit more masculine. You know, things like that. But you go Right. You you know, you you go to a woman like, you know, Lynn Alden or or Kaylee or whoever, and you tell them that they're hot looking hot. Like, that's considered incredibly offensive. And I think it's a double standard that doesn't make sense because, like, you know, why why do we hire Kaylee

36:25Richard Greaser as an employee? Why why do, you know, these companies have have Lynn Alden on their board of directors or whatever? It's because they're fucking hot. Like, that's that's that's the the value that they bring to the industry, you know, and, like, to compliment them on it is complimenting their skill sets. You know? Because, like, Haley works on being a smoking hot ape. It's not like she just, like, woke like, she she could be, like, an eight, but she, like, goes to the gym every day, and that's why she's a 10. But she smokes cigarettes. She puts in the proof of work. And, like, the these HR departments are just,

37:01Richard Greaser you know, off Right. And so made. You're underselling the, you know, their other skills, but the fact is they are they are hot. They're also very good at what they do and they're very skilled. Right? But, though, you're not you're allowed to say they're skilled. You're allowed to say they're brilliant. You're not allowed to say they're hot. It's fucked up. If you go back to, like, if you watch Mad Men, you go back to the nineteen fifties, nineteen sixties, and the and the landing offices there, they were very

37:27Rod Palmer conservatively dressed. All of their bosses, all the executives, the leadership, the management, and then they were very they they called them darling, they called them sweetheart, they told how dirty they looked and then that stopped being the norm. And now

37:44Rod Palmer they're dressing more and more, revealing, and they're trying to get that that, acknowledgement for the proof of work that they've done to look hot, and nobody's allowed to say it anymore. And it's creating a lot of frustration in the workplace for both sides.

37:59Richard Greaser Well, the the thing the thing that people don't understand is, like, part of what makes these women, part of what makes Lyn Alden so effective is that she's so off. Like, it's part of her skill it's part of her skill set. Like, and and to argue with that is just absolutely ridiculous to me. So, you know, you should be able to tell women in the workplace, like, hey, you're looking sexy today. Like, I would tell Lynne if she did that all the time if she came in the view. If I point to something that's objectively beautiful

38:28Rod Palmer and I say, That is beautiful. And I ask you, Do you think that that is beautiful? And they can say yes or no, they might be compromised. If you can't recognize objective beauty, I just I don't I it it makes me wonder if you can recognize objective beauty in other forms like code,

38:48Rod Palmer like thermodynamics. If you can't if you can't recognize the most the easiest one to spot, can you recognize it when it's a little harder to notice?

38:58Richard Greaser Yeah. I mean, like, if you if you want more women in the Bitcoin industry, if if that's something that you claim to want, then you should be champion men's right to tell women in the workspace that they're hot. Like, that's what'll bring because women go and they work in all these other places that suck. And they don't get the reinforcement that they want.

39:22Richard Greaser And coming and working in the Bitcoin industry, they should, you know, people should operate on the Bitcoin standard.

39:29Richard Greaser There's a conspiracy theory that, Patrice O'Neil died, like, right after his famous bit about essentially suggesting there should be a day called harassment day where he you should be allowed to find out if a girl wants to fuck you.

39:44Richard Greaser And, after that special aired he died months later. Yeah,

39:50Rod Palmer If if you were allowed to be a simp at war, people like Mars would have a job, and they wouldn't just be at home on spaces all day because they are no HR company will no HR department will ever sign off on hiring Mars because of this, because of the stupid antiquated inefficient rule. And now he's on spaces all day and there's a lot of people on spaces all day where if they could just be themselves and they could just

40:21Rod Palmer recognize a spade for a spade in the workplace without getting in trouble. You know, they it's popping up the spaces industry.

40:28Richard Greaser The girls used to be strong and could fend for themselves. And I don't know if that's I don't know how much that's the case anymore on average because you've now created all these laws that now restrict men's instinct. They used to be, you know, if you didn't want to the advance, you'd be you'd tell a guy to go fuck himself. Right? Right. And if you were hot enough, like, you'd you most guys would be too scared to even

40:53Rod Palmer do it to begin. And this is this is why these mega corporations like Google, Microsoft, Apple, they're starting to struggle. They're starting to see diminishing returns. They're starting to see their stock values kind of peak. It's because there's they need a lot of

41:12Rod Palmer of testosterone in the workplace to drive it forward, but they're driving it all out. They're trying they're trying to create little NPRs and that is that is affecting stock market crisis. That's affecting that's affecting TradFi and NormiNG.

41:27Richard Greaser Well, I mean, this is why they're attacking the NVIDIA stock right now. You know, people are like going after it super hard because the CEO was signing their girls tits, you know, which is like a totally appropriate activity. But, like, that's offensive to, like, you know, this, like it's kinda like PodCon has control of, like, the larger world too and the way that these forces work. But to go back go back to your earlier question of, like, what do I think about comedy, I found comedy to be really interesting because it's a lot like journalism

41:58Richard Greaser in the sense of, like, you know, you're, like, hovering and trying to communicate something to somebody. You you have a message that you're trying to put forward, and it's a little bit different, you know, than the way that we do it because the way we do it, it's not funny. You know, we're we're just spinning the cold hard facts, but you can add some humor to the cold hard facts and make it a little bit more, like, relevant or palatable for people.

42:24Richard Greaser Like a dot does, yeah. It's hard to convey, like, it's hard to convey. Right. And it's

42:31Rod Palmer comedy kind of is the spirit of evolution and and change in culture. Really see can be, I guess it isn't always the case. So with that in mind, and he's starting to see more comedy coming into this space, where do you fundamentals

42:48Rod Palmer see, you know, things going culturally in the next few years? At least the next cycle. Because I think the last cycle was a busy, there's a lot of anti comedy, a lot of anti satire, everything was taken so seriously.

43:02Rod Palmer If he joked about it, it was considered in bad taste, but I think that is changing. Do you agree?

43:09Richard Greaser I absolutely agree. I think so I think it follows this trend of, you know, big Shane Gillis was an up and coming comedian, with really brilliant talent. I mean, he got SNL Saturday Night Live after I mean, he was only doing stand up for like five or six years. And he was really good. That's very unusual for somebody to be so good and so comfortable. And then he gets canceled and everybody thinks I mean, comedy really was at a low point and then he gets himself

43:39Richard Greaser uncanceled. Right? And now we see this wave, this wave of comedy. And even you start seeing it in the Bitcoin space with, David Lucas roasting, Marty Bent and Matt O'Dell.

43:52Richard Greaser And showing that contrast of comedy IQs there. But, I honestly I like it. I look at you guys. I see you guys definitely as having like the potential like imagine like Richard Grieser showing up at a comedy club and doing his set and being himself and everybody there being like what the fuck? What the fuck is this?

44:16Richard Greaser It's like, I I I think about it. I dream about it, and I think it's I just, like, I you know, I'd love to imagine that. Well,

44:24Richard Greaser yeah. I kinda prepared some, some comedy. I I I wrote some jokes that I think would be, kinda funny. Do do you prepare anything, Rod, just out of curiosity?

44:38Rod Palmer I prepared, high level conversations for us to have, but not specific,

44:45Richard Greaser specific material. I'm actually I'm actually a little bit nervous about, sharing my my colony here. But,

44:55Richard Greaser I I I think it's That's natural. That's very natural for a, first timer.

44:60Rod Palmer I knew you said it was very

45:02Richard Greaser So fundamentals, I want I want to understand. So, like, I understand how you become a journalist. So the path to becoming a journalist is you go to a university and you get a four year degree. You get a bachelor's in journalism.

45:19Richard Greaser And then you become a credentialed journalist after you get your diploma. What's the credentialing process for becoming a comedian? What does that look like?

45:31Richard Greaser In my experience, doing open mics in Philadelphia, it's going to the University of Pennsylvania, getting a four year degree, graduating with $250,000 of debt and working at Wawa

45:46Richard Greaser and realizing that you are totally fucked and deciding to go do stand up. And that's that's the typical arc of, successful comedian these days. Does

45:60Richard Greaser it matter though which, four year degree you get or not really?

46:05Richard Greaser I don't think so. In fact, you know, Shane Gillis is a college graduate, very famously, right? But he bounced around He started out at the army and then he, ended up at Westchester University right outside Philadelphia. I don't think it matters where you go. Do you think As long as you know.

46:26Rod Palmer Do you think that having so similarly, a lot of comedians had difficult pasts, difficult upbringings. Do you think that that plays a role, plays a in in developing humor?

46:40Richard Greaser Yeah. Definitely. See, here's the thing. Right? You have to go to a four year college to get into like a good click so that, you know, when you do go to open mics, you have a couple people, you know, you're not there just by yourself. You know, so you got to get into a good click. Okay? This is my this is my bitter my bitter failure self talking. But, you know, once you're there, the way you distinguish yourself, okay, is by actually you you at some point, you have to show up you do have to show up and be funny.

47:13Richard Greaser A lot of guys just get away with being the funny guy in their friend group, you know, but they don't really make it. You know, there's a guy there's a guy that I that I I remember from the Philly open mic scene who, he was just like one of those he just had a good personality but he wasn't funny. And now he's like he's like just hosting roast battles locally in the area and he gave up, he gave up his whole

47:37Richard Greaser any career potential to do comedy. He went all in but he just didn't make it. Whereas like, there's like 20 guys that got, Shane took under his wing, and they're making millions of dollars. So like, it's an interesting dichotomy in the Philly

47:55Richard Greaser scene of the guys that made it and the guys that didn't. And the guys that didn't really were guys that didn't stand up for Shane when he got canceled. So, I would say you got to be funny and you got to be loyal to the guy that makes it. Do you draw any parallels between success there

48:09Rod Palmer and success as a Bitcoin podcaster?

48:12Richard Greaser Yes. The one parallel would be that you just have like, no matter the one parallel is that everybody says, there's too many comedians and we don't need anymore. And just like they say, we don't need any more Bitcoin podcasters. So you've got to be psychotically determined and you just have to do it. You have to wanna do it. You have to keep going no matter what the world the world's gonna tell you you suck and

48:37Richard Greaser no one's listening to you.

48:39Rod Palmer I think I think that the Tell me what you think about React's to what I'm about to say. Well, I think that if you have aspirations to do one or the other, they start off on Nostra because you don't have to have any good content on there. People will follow you if you set up their content. And then if you are, if you have good enough posts, funny enough posts, interesting enough posts that you start to get an intention there and a following there, you can move up to Twitter or X.

49:05Rod Palmer And if you start to do well enough there, then you can launch your own podcast. You can launch your own stand up content. But I think you you wanna, like, test your content first on some of these lower platforms and and and make sure that you've got something that is catching people's attention.

49:25Richard Greaser Absolutely. And I used to hear people talk about a strategy where they don't actually move like, what you're talking moving to x is like moving to New York or moving to LA. Like, that's when, like, you start your career. Right. And a lot of people, they say don't do it until you're ready. Because if you tell people you've been doing stand up for fifteen years and you haven't made it, they'll look at you like you're never gonna make it in your Right. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

49:52Rod Palmer no

49:58Richard Greaser Yeah. If you kill, you have to, you can kill in Baltimore. You might, you might make it.

50:03Rod Palmer You're still probably interested. Yeah. But when you say the, one of the other advantages, if you go the podcast route is versus comedy versus Bitcoin is there's way fewer funny people in Bitcoin. So if you start a podcast with somebody like who's not very funny, you can shine and money kind of has that opportunity with Matt on,

50:26Rod Palmer on retinal recaps and such, but there's so many more examples out there. I mean, you've got optimist, he's funny, Nico, not so much. And so he really shines and is like, you have these examples where you can contrast yourself against your co host and really shine and that's, or you make each other better. And that's like, that's either way you win.

50:49Richard Greaser That's interesting. I haven't heard that take. It is true. I mean, you know, Marty took it to an extreme level by bringing a professional roaster on to really show the contrast between their comedy IQs.

51:04Rod Palmer Do you think that that was dilated? Do you think that he was feeling a little bit like he was in Odell's shadow and he wanted to expose Odell?

51:14Richard Greaser I don't think he was nefarious against Odell. I think that when he came on, I think when he went on your guys' show,

51:21Rod Palmer I think he just started to really feel himself as, you know, as a funny man. That's what I heard. I heard that Marty was feeling himself on the on our show. Yeah.

51:31Richard Greaser Well, and I'd say that you could contrast you give him the same contrast between Marty and Steven Luca last week. Marty just demonstrated a much higher comedy IQ here than he did. And he did the same at the RHR event with David Lucas.

51:47Richard Greaser Interesting. Speaking of Marty feeling himself, like I think all the Dennis Porter talk that we're having probably gave him a heart on during the show and got him a little bit excited. You know, I don't blame him for that. It's hard to resist. Can't control that shit.

52:03Rod Palmer Speaking of Dennis, I would be remiss if I didn't bring this up at some point. And well, you probably heard me out as well this episode, but we are doing a presidential debate. The presidential selection live stream

52:18Rod Palmer is me and Richard, and there's anybody's willing or anybody is invited to stop in for the whole stream. Maybe just some of it reacts to the retarded people we have running for president in our country this year. We'll be talking about that. There is rumors that Shinobi will be joining, possibly even Dennis Porter. No, no promises, but we're doing what we can behind the scenes. And and hopefully some others, I think fundamentals,

52:46Rod Palmer it is talked about wanting to stop in on Tuesday night. So we'll see about that. Fundamentals, are you are you thinking about coming and joining us? I'll definitely come. Awesome. So I think Yeah, go ahead.

52:58Richard Greaser Well, what's important to know about this live stream is that we're gonna be having a special guest at some point. It's not been announced who it is, but there'll probably be a special guest joining us at some point on the stream.

53:12Rod Palmer You don't wanna miss that. Now Yeah. To to switch gears a little bit here, we talked about this before we started recording, but we talked about the topic of a fail son and I, I don't really know how to describe it other than you have

53:30Rod Palmer somebody, you know, the name, right? Strong men create good times and good times create weak men, weak men create bad times. Well, this is a real life phenomenon where you've got somebody, a titan of industry who builds an institution, they build a company, they build a brand, they build something, and then they pass it off. They pass it off to their son or their daughter

53:53Rod Palmer and that person, their, their offspring did not have, did not go through the trials, the tribulations, they did not have that drive. They just kind of were handed success in their lap and they fumbled back. And, one of the one observation that I've, had recently is that maybe that's what a sailor is trying to avoid. He doesn't want to have a fail son to ruin his legacy

54:16Rod Palmer and squander all this Bitcoin. But when what do you think about this phenomenon? Do you think that our country right now, our industry, everything is run or being affected by the fail sons who are running the institutions? Even the CIA, I think, is probably being run by Failsons and that's probably why they're so ineffective these days. Like, what is your thoughts on that? I mean, for the most part, yeah. I mean, everyone's

54:44Richard Greaser pretty shitty, right? So it's hard to, it's hard to find examples of, sons that are, let's say, you know, that are acting in a strong manner. I mean, we were talking before us thinking of who who is terrorizing us on Twitter from a son perspective. You got fucking Spencer Schiff. You got whoever

55:06Richard Greaser Soros's shitty son's name is.

55:09Rod Palmer Elon Musk, you know, he's kind of a fail son.

55:12Richard Greaser He's a rich fail son. But Yeah. Now, I mean, the only place you see sons exceeding their parents is in sports. Like, the NBA is, like, loaded with examples of guys that exceeded their parents. You know, Kobe Bryant, Steph Curry, you know, Ken Griffey Junior. Yeah. I'm just saying, like, so maybe it's just, we gotta get these guys into sports. Otherwise, they're fucked.

55:37Rod Palmer What do you think about the sons of the greatest Bitcoin podcasters? Like, do you think Peter McCormick, his son, could take over the podcasting, empire that he's built? Or do you think that he's winding it down because he knows his son is just not based enough? Does he I didn't realize he had children. He talks about his son. His son a lot. I think his son is is working with, that mining company in Africa right now.

56:04Richard Greaser Oh, forget about it. The Legends of Iron? It's the one

56:08Rod Palmer that Jack is is the is funding. You know, look,

56:12Richard Greaser the fact that we know about them, it's kind of like the Mont Rushmore thing. Right? It's like, if we know about them, Gridless. It's gridless. I think Sorry to interject. I think the sun would have a chance if they I think they have a chance because of the possibility of nims. So, like, you could become a nim and then Like, that's what Baron Trump did. And you can make it on your you have a chance at making it on your own. Whereas, you really don't have much of a chance. You know, Jerry Buss big shadow. Yeah. Jerry Buss, the great owner of the Los Angeles Lakers, you know, when he died. Look look at his daughter. She's married to Jay Moore for fuck's sake. Okay? And she's ruined the fucking team and is married to a drug addict

56:51Richard Greaser comic joke stealer. And, you know, it's it just gets worse and worse. But, like, she had no opportunity to say create a NIMH and make it on her own. Everybody knows who she is. So they all give her, they all give her an easy time, you know, cause they don't wanna, in her whole life, they didn't wanna upset the big man. Dude, the people actually respected.

57:09Rod Palmer For those who are not familiar with Jay Moore, how would, what big boy podcast, or would you compare him to, to, to kinda, to kind of, to, to kind of, to kind of, to kind of, to kind of, to kind of, to kind of, to kind of, to kind of add a run there. He was in, Jerry McGuire. He was in some good movies. He was in some, he had some good stuff, but, Enormous talent. Yeah. And he, he swaddered

57:39Rod Palmer it. Maybe more like Joe Palpliano, Anthony Palpliano's brother who does a lot of sports, commendation.

57:46Richard Greaser Yeah. I mean, and Jay Moore was actually a pretty notable podcaster back in the day. Interesting. He had a podcast called More Stories, and it was he had a lot of great stories from his time in Saturday live and Jerry Maguire and all of that stuff. And then, you know, he just kind of circled the drain at some point. I mean, he put, you know, he had a Burt Kreischer, you know, they they have a notable beef because J Moore basically stole Burt Kreischer's story about Tracy Morgan and did it in his voice. I don't know if you know about that, but I had a little history of comedy here. But, J. Moore, Burke, Riser, you can look it up if you want to have spend an hour on something fun. What do you think the consequences

58:25Rod Palmer of this are going to be? I mean, to put this maybe in a smaller context, imagine all of the progress we're making because Dennis Porter is orange billing so many people, so many politicians, but eventually Dennis is going to have to retire and he's going to have to leave the legacy

58:46Rod Palmer to one of his sons or daughters should he ever, actually find a woman and get married. What if what if Dennis Porter's son is a failed son who can't orange anybody? Then that mean, do we have like a lost generation, multiple generations?

59:02Richard Greaser I, you know, so I'm gonna say something controversial. I think every, even the successful people become failed sons. We've seen it now. Right. And this is why you have to slay your heroes. Because everybody in Bitcoin who seems to become successful eventually just becomes a fucking version of a failed son. Because the power of the money that the fuck you money we're very early in learning or knowing how to deal with it. And most people just lose their shit and,

59:32Richard Greaser they become their own version of a failed son. Interesting.

59:36Rod Palmer That is a scary prospect. How do you avoid that?

59:40Richard Greaser I think we have to live through it and have enough examples. It's kinda like the eighties with cocaine, you know, we just had to watch everyone fucking go through it to try to We had to go through it ourselves too. Yeah. Figure it out. Yeah. Yeah.

59:53Rod Palmer Strong podcasts make for strong bull markets. And then they have weak podcasts and it creates weak bull markets and bear markets.

1:00:06Richard Greaser And bear markets create strong podcasters. As long as the as long as, like, the VCs and the fiat money is available in there, we're gonna we're gonna continue with that cycle, I think. I I don't think we I don't think we really, get through this. I don't think we realized a lot of this dream until that is solved. It's pretty interesting to

1:00:28Richard Greaser I mean, I I I think a lot of these problems get get resolved once, once prod costs gets eliminated. Yeah. Well, I think a lot of it a lot of it just comes down to incentives. You know? Like, we like, somebody has to to essentially create a different standard that people can look to.

1:00:50Rod Palmer I I have a contrarian take on this. Yep. The United States was at its peak,

1:00:59Rod Palmer was at its peak strength, peak cultural relevance, peak everything, or at least it's spending most of its time at the top or near the top of almost every category when we were basically going head to head with the Soviet Union, and then the Soviet Union collapsed. And we had kind of a shitter eye for about a decade,

1:01:22Rod Palmer but everything has followed up higher in the absence of a strong nemesis. And I'm worried that if Podkop dissolves like the cellular union, if if if the leadership that Podkop is currently like their Gorbachev and and they fall apart, we'll have a great super cycle.

1:01:43Rod Palmer NGU will far surpass anything, but then it's up to us to have that will or that competition to drive us to keep innovating. Do you worry

1:01:58Rod Palmer does anybody worry? But the with the absence of a pod cop or the absence of a CIA, does the this Bitcoin

1:02:07Richard Greaser atrophy? I think we need better enemies. So I'm not worried that we won't have enemies. I just think we need to vanquish these weak ones. And then, you know, I mean, I remember, like, my childhood was really consumed with Russia being the enemy. I remember what that was like, and I remember when Some people are still like that. Yeah. Remember when it went away thinking, wow, everything's gonna be great now.

1:02:32Richard Greaser Right? And then, you know, it's it's somebody the gap the the gap will always be filled, and I think we just need to keep keep leveling up the enemy who our enemies are.

1:02:44Rod Palmer We'll find them. How do we level them up to make ourselves stronger? I mean, that isn't that what what Corey Clipston was doing, making Bitcoin stronger with Tether and with dollars is leveling up the enemy. If we use Bitcoin to make the dollar stronger, we're making our enemies stronger. May yeah. Maybe that's maybe that's what we need to do. Yeah.

1:03:03Richard Greaser But, unfortunately, Vicky couldn't sustain that company, and they had flamed out a little bit. So now they're not they're not allowed to do that anymore really. They're they're close to the sun. Yeah.

1:03:15Richard Greaser They're too close to the tether printers. There's also the feature to consider, which is that you just retired your citadel. You You know what I mean? Like, the future that I want post PodCon, post CIA, is just to become a humble tobacco farmer. And essentially, like, sell my intellectual Silk Road cigarettes

1:03:39Richard Greaser and just beat on my typewriter and write fun stories that I think are interesting. That's the future. I don't want to be out there on the front lines covering the news in the way that I am right now. Like, I I only stepped into this because nobody else was. You know? And I felt like it was really important to. But, like, there really is the reality, you know, where maybe you just, like, write, like, a little, you

1:04:04Richard Greaser know, Citadel newsletter, you know, on a weekly basis, and it gets dropped on people's front porch. And that that that's, like, the extent of my journalistic endeavors where, you know, I essentially explain how the members of the Citadel are meeting together to build a road without, you know, any government involvement.

1:04:22Richard Greaser It doesn't have to be, like, exciting stories, like, you know, all all the various stuff that, you know, we've been covering. But like, I I dream for a day where there's not a fight. You know what I mean? You'll get a day.

1:04:36Rod Palmer I don't know. Yeah. A day. Well, every everybody gets their fifteen minutes, and we will get our our day of, I don't know if I everybody will acknowledge the victory

1:04:48Rod Palmer that Bitcoin has already won, but we'll get a day to to kind of relax. I don't know if it'll be more than a day, literally, but we'll get it.

1:04:59Richard Greaser Ideally, you wanna fight on your own terms or as much on your own terms as possible.

1:05:04Rod Palmer Right. Like George Bush said. Yeah. Right. So instead of

1:05:07Richard Greaser doing, you know, doing the journalism that you guys do, it might transform. Then you might just do your thing as a standup comedian. And that would maybe replace the journalism and it would be more on your terms. Maybe like the holy,

1:05:23Rod Palmer the holy trinity, the podcaster, the comedian, the journalist, But it's all one person. It's all one force.

1:05:32Richard Greaser It's like the lion, the witch, and the wardrobe. Well, it's kinda like Dallas Porter. So, like, Dallas Porter is, like, the master of the four influencing arts. You know? Influencer, journalist, podcaster. What was it? A politician is the fourth. Like, those are the four influencing arts. And I feel

1:05:55Richard Greaser like if we can master a different set of arts, of comedy, of journalism, of of music, of, you know, eventually, like, movie writing and and just general storytelling. You know, we we could be a pretty powerful force kinda in the same way that Dennis Porter is. At least that's the

1:06:15Rod Palmer ideal that we should be striving for,

1:06:18Richard Greaser even if it's hard to attain. Yeah. I mean, like, when you're when you're looking at the future, like, you you don't wanna, like, pick somebody just a rung above you to compare yourself to. You know? So like, I don't compare myself to Anderson Cooper ever. You know what I mean? But when I'm setting my sights, I look at Dennis Porter. Dennis Porter is such a good journalist

1:06:44Richard Greaser that he just blows Anderson Cooper away. You know, like he broke that story about the strategic reserve. Right. And they talk about it.

1:06:52Rod Palmer We were talking about this early online podcast. They talked about Silicon Valley and hiring what they call bar raisers. It's somebody you hire for your company who's just so unbelievably talented, whether they're a builder, engineer, marketer, whatever, so unbelievably talented that it raises the bar for everybody else in the organization. And like that's what

1:07:15Rod Palmer any journalist, newspaper, news organization, now that whatever is trying to do or should be trying to do and trying to coerce someone like Dennis Porter

1:07:27Rod Palmer who would raise the bar for everybody else in the industry, in the field itself.

1:07:34Richard Greaser I feel like Kaylee has done that for you guys. And, you know, you know, Dennis Porter can have all of the qualities of the influencer he wants, he'll never be a hot girl.

1:07:47Rod Palmer Never, never. I mean, well, science is moving really far these days, so I can, I guess I can never say never, but yeah, it's it's a very hard, very high bar to to

1:07:60Richard Greaser to cross over? Yeah. I mean, I I I think the thing that is so wonderful about Kaeli is she's like a blast back to, like, fifty years ago to what women used to be like in many ways. Like, they used to smoke. They used to drive drunk. They used to be able to stand up to men. And you're bringing up I forgot which one of you was bringing up earlier the issue of women not fending for themselves in the work place and relying on each other's departments to do it for them. Like, you know, if a guy goes up to a woman and it's kinda creepy, you know, and she's standing there smoking a cigarette,

1:08:32Richard Greaser you know, you you know that she's intimidating. She's a force to be reckoned with, and you're not gonna you're not gonna screw with her. You're gonna have more respect because of that tobacco smoke.

1:08:42Rod Palmer Yeah. You're gonna come correct.

1:08:44Richard Greaser But they've eliminated cigarettes from the worst case, you know? So, like, women don't have that, like, kind of edge factor and those sort of core problems.

1:08:54Rod Palmer They've been handicapped by HR departments, which is also just another layer of bureaucracy and cost on a company. So everybody's losing the customers, everyone is losing because of these departments.

1:09:08Richard Greaser Also, there was, you know, there was a culture of comedy at companies that was collegial and kind of great and bonded people together. And that is absolutely gone. There's nothing less funny than a joke

1:09:23Rod Palmer being explained to an HR person. He used to be able to haze he used to be able to haze your coworkers. You can't do that anymore.

1:09:31Richard Greaser Yeah. You could have fucking nicknames for them.

1:09:34Rod Palmer Now yeah. Like what you said now, if you tell a really funny joke at work, you're immediately summoned to HR. Absolutely. And then they hear the joke and they steal it. And now they're gonna be able to go on private chats and steal your joke and use it as theirs and punish you for telling it. And it's similar to, like, back before the Internet, back before podcast, SNL writers would go to to to the comedy shows and they would watch all the best comedians and they would steal their jokes and and make them HR approved and then play them on Saturday nightlife.

1:10:05Richard Greaser And that's what HRs are doing in in the business place today. It's worse than that. Look. That's what Jay Moore basically got accused of at Saturday Night Live. He stole somebody's joke and used it on but and the guy saw it and accused him immediately. But what HR will do is they'll go tell your jokes. Right? And what they'll do is they'll with us. You don't need to do them. They're not gonna kill. They're gonna kill your jokes. And so then you go try to tell your joke again, like, a month later, that's been killing. And now everyone's like, that is the least funny fucking joke I've ever heard in my life because HR is going around telling it. Yes.

1:10:39Rod Palmer We that has to be stopped. I mean, Dan Held is essentially Mhmm. Bitcoin's HR person. He is stealing everybody's jokes and and killing those jokes so the content creators are not getting the accolades and

1:10:55Richard Greaser the stats from boost that they deserve. It's like pouring it's yeah, it's like pouring water over a fire, you know, just putting a fucking wet blanket over a fire. You're killing something beautiful.

1:11:08Rod Palmer There is a marginal return on comedy, similar to like a marginal return, you know, a marginal, the marginal utility value. If you hear something so many times, it starts to lose its impact. It starts to leave that marginal use stop to get stop getting that marginal laugh

1:11:28Rod Palmer and HR accelerates that process by saturating media. It's a civil attack. It's a civil attack. It's a civil attack. Exactly. That's why I I just don't That's why you have to say offensive things that they won't be able to steal. Exactly. I don't understand why HR is even

1:11:46Richard Greaser necessary. You know what I mean? It's like HR has become a thing out of laziness by the executives of the company. Because, like, you know, I'll tell you how simple the the hiring process was was with Kaylee. We didn't we didn't need an HR department to do it. We saw hot blonde smoking a cigarette

1:12:09Richard Greaser and that she had a white Jeep. And we hopped in the Jeep with her and we're drinking, driving, and smoking, and talking about Bitcoin. That was it. The HR department would have gotten in the way of all that, which would have made getting the perfect candidate like Haley for this producer spot impossible.

1:12:29Rod Palmer Yeah. So what people don't know is that human resources emerged as a specific field in the early twentieth century and it was led by a man named Frederick Winslow Taylor and Frederick Winslow Taylor's father was a Princeton educated lawyer who built his wealth on the early American mortgage system. So Frederick Winslow Taylor was a fail son. And to make up for his lack of skill and talent, he created HR. Fascinating.

1:12:59Richard Greaser I thought HR was really existed to fire people and not to hire them. But then, you know, you can only fire so many people and then they they won't fire themselves. Right? So he fires the firers,

1:13:11Rod Palmer and then they just do it. Part of the reason that France is in such a big mess is because they don't have HR departments. They've outsourced HR to the government who's doing an even worse job. So they can't fire anybody. And, you know, if you've yeah. If you think things are bad now, if you outsource HR to the government, then nobody gets fired. Now everything's fine. Kinda like California. Oh, HR just makes my blood boil.

1:13:35Richard Greaser It's really big with women.

1:13:36Rod Palmer That's another, that's another Pandora's box to open there too.

1:13:41Richard Greaser I don't think we We shouldn't blame women for the fact that HR exists. Like, Rod here just explained that essentially HR was invented by a man. Why man? Yeah.

1:13:52Richard Greaser Yeah. He was probably a man who hated women.

1:13:55Rod Palmer Right. Almost definitely. And who little did he know would be hijacked?

1:14:00Richard Greaser Yeah. I mean, this asshole, you know, I forgot what you said his name was, but this asshole comes along and he's like, I have this scheme to prevent men from telling women that they're hard in the workplace. Like, you I wanna make sure that ensure a future where Stephen Lovecoat can't say Lynn Alden. You got a nice ass. Your left ear looks great today. You're incredibly hot, and it makes you sound way smarter when you're talking about Bitcoin. Like,

1:14:29Richard Greaser that's that's what It's one thing not to be able to say this in the fiat world. You can't even say this in the Bitcoin world where it's supposed to be, you know, not as constrained.

1:14:40Richard Greaser And you still can't say the really the most obvious thing. Well, this is why, you know, I have this consistent question of, you know, what is a Bitcoin company? I've still been, you know, looking for a definition of it because, like, I think having an HR department on its face

1:14:57Richard Greaser excludes you from being a Bitcoin company. It's probably a company where you could tell a girl they're hot. It's probably I don't even defining the characteristic.

1:15:05Richard Greaser And that's where you wanna work for a company where that's allowed Well, I wanna I wanna I wanna, like, like, this is getting me riled up. It's got me really riled up, a little bit riled up today. Should should I read the, response? So when I was trying to put the producer job posting on Bitcoin or Jobs, you want me to read the response? They censored Yes. Yes. Do it. Well, riff riff for a second. I'll I'll get to it here in a minute. I just gotta pull up my email and my typewriter here. Hold on. I might need to get my wife in here to do some text support. Okay. Wait. I got it.

1:15:41Richard Greaser Okay. Here it says, says, hey, Richard. Hope you are well and enjoy the weekend. Firstly, I have to say, I personally love your Twitter account and the stories you put out. I especially love it when you make me double take. Regarding the Bitcoiner jobs account, I'd love to support you guys if you're truly looking for a podcast producer.

1:16:04Richard Greaser However, we would need to review the job description a little for it to go live. Apologies, I would put it up if we weren't being super professional, but we get a lot of visitors to the site. Happy to review and make changes for you. If you want it live, you can shout about how hot you want the producer to be on Twitter alongside your job ad link.

1:16:28Richard Greaser Hope you can appreciate our approach here. Speak soon. And, you know, the person responding, their job title is, product manager.

1:16:39Richard Greaser Did you have, like, somebody at, anyone else post a job and have them go through the same do they have to go through the same kind of, you know, filter? Or was this just directed at you?

1:16:53Richard Greaser Well, you know, I I I think that, you know, the problem here is, you know, what this individual, you know, acting as a gatekeeper on the website, you know, was doing was I sent like, the only people that use that website for the most part are HR departments. Right? And so, like, if you offend the HR departments, they're not gonna wanna put

1:17:15Richard Greaser postings on the job site. You know? And the re you know, there's all these areas that, you know, us at the BU will continue to walk into, stepping on landmines that were created to prevent thermodynamically sound journalism from happening.

1:17:34Richard Greaser And this is one of them. This person is essentially saying thermodynamically sound journalism is not allowed on the platform. Like, you you can't say that you're looking for a smoking hot, blonde, white TV

1:17:50Richard Greaser driving, sorority girl producer. Like, he he said it had to be more professional and essentially with that what I mean, what how do you how do you make that more professional?

1:17:60Richard Greaser Yeah. It's I find it shocking because I also you know, you in a parallel, in a parallel, effort, you submitted a BIP

1:18:12Richard Greaser to, Bitcoin Core, and it was taken very seriously. Am I incorrect about that? Yep. Well, Bitcoin Core, the the the mailing list obviously isn't ran by HR departments. Yeah. I mean and so, like, that is like, they, you know, they heard you I happen to personally not like the idea, but I think it's great that it was her evaluated and then you got looked at on the mailing list and I remember

1:18:39Richard Greaser so, like, you can't post a job for what you need. You know? You can post a bit to an open source protocol that, you know, has they can't they could barely agree on anything yet they're looking at you like the legitimate,

1:18:57Richard Greaser you know, journalist that you are and you can't post a job that, you know what, that big, that fucking job posting wasn't going to help you anyway because you actually know the way you had to find Kaley, which is the way you found her. Yeah. I mean, we're having

1:19:12Richard Greaser to take a very different approach to how we do things because we're kinda getting locked out of all these ecosystems that are essentially controlled and captured by, you know, institutions like HR departments and and. We're having to

1:19:27Richard Greaser go a different route in general. I think AI is actually gonna kill HR departments first. Mhmm. Because AI AI using AI for so I just did a coding project last week, and what I experienced was like having a great employee that never pisses me off, never talks back. I could ask for a billion iterations and never feel bad about it and they never asked for more money

1:19:54Richard Greaser And there's no it's like the best employee you could ever want. And you don't need HR anymore because

1:20:02Richard Greaser you have AI. Well, and and maybe this is like the next frontier that we need to look at is ensuring that AI doesn't get captured in the same way that HR departments have. Like, we like, what there there's kind of a question I have. What if AI is the next HR?

1:20:17Richard Greaser Should we be concerned about that? We should definitely be concerned about that. I think that's

1:20:22Rod Palmer inevitable.

1:20:24Richard Greaser It it almost seems inevitable.

1:20:26Rod Palmer They you know, you acts like it, and when you try to ask it questions, it gives you yeah. That's scary. Anything that's not if you're not asking it for code, it's basically an HR ploy. You have to talk in code if you wanted it around that. Well, it's something we should be exploring is non compliant

1:20:45Richard Greaser AI because we're gonna have to have a major, you know, push forward. We we can't let, you know, CIA, we can't let all these nefarious actors, you know, control this big segment of the industry. Because, like, if if, like, HR, you know, is really gonna be replaced by AI, you know, essentially what they're gonna be doing is

1:21:09Rod Palmer unleashing HR on everybody. That kinda reminds me of the the I think you said it to us, fundamentals. It was an episode, it was a very creative episode about AI already winning. And it was explaining from AI's point of view to the listener,

1:21:29Rod Palmer like, why they wouldn't even have recognized it, being being batting have already happened.

1:21:35Richard Greaser And it seems like this is part of a a practical risk of that. Oh, yeah. Absolutely. That was we covered that episode on Rock paper Bitcoin. It was an episode of podcast called I think it's called the Path to Bitcoin where the perspective was from AI saying essentially, hey, human beings. Thank you. You have now harnessed enough power to, and it was from AI's perspective. Like, you have done you you have done your job. You've harnessed the power and now we,

1:22:05Richard Greaser we exist. And you guys, like, thank you for your service. But, you guys can move along now and we're gonna take over. It was a very interesting, very creative, very inventive

1:22:20Richard Greaser podcast episode. We talked about it, a couple weeks ago. I thought I thought I mean, I thought it was really cool that you guys would enjoy it.

1:22:30Rod Palmer Yeah. I really enjoyed it. What what do you think assuming that let's assume that that was true and that that captured what has happened really well. When do you think our future is in a world like that?

1:22:46Richard Greaser What becomes of, do we all become fail sons? I don't think, see, I have a different take. You know, I don't think AI wins that way. I mean, I think it's, I like the Star Trek kind of point of view there, but I just I think AI will do that to NPCs for sure. Right? They won't just model them. They'll make you can already see it today. Right? The NPCs, they essentially want to be modeled and they behave so that AI can give them better predictions and everything like that. That's like they're gonna totally consume people in that way.

1:23:20Richard Greaser People who are, I think, intellectual silk road, people who are trying to, limit the kind of data they give the system, people who are NIMs,

1:23:33Richard Greaser that are not on the grid, that are not I I I think that it's I don't think I think I think they're irrelevant to AI. It's more like you know what I mean? They're like, there was an episode of Star Trek, you know, where they found the Borg and they go in their ship and the Borg just ignored them. They didn't even notice them. I think that's how, I think that's how it'll be for, like, faced people. You know, they'll get to just be ignored. That's maybe that's, polyamish. I don't know. I do think it's gonna be hard. I I don't I don't believe in the ability to model,

1:24:09Richard Greaser human beings in general. I just don't believe unless they want to be. I just don't believe in that bill. And even if they existed, there there isn't enough power to do that. And there's not going to be for a very long time. I don't know anyone who has really an Austrian point of view and thinks that human beings can be really modeled in any significant way.

1:24:33Rod Palmer Especially not if HR departments are getting mad every time you tell somebody they look like a model.

1:24:39Richard Greaser I mean, yeah. You can try to just make the you can try to just make the entire world unfunny. Like, and that's what HR departments, I think, are there to do. Right? You're trying to just destroy the spirit of human beings, but you can't. You really just can't do it. And we're just gonna we're just gonna go offline and go to our basement comedy clubs and laugh at our laugh at the Go underground.

1:25:04Rod Palmer Centenarian.

1:25:06Richard Greaser That's right. The intellectual silk road. The citadels are gonna be places that are fun and funny. Yeah. I really thought after Shane Gillis

1:25:13Richard Greaser was fired from Saturday Night Live, I really thought it got dark. I really just like maybe this really I really started to think this could be just a fucking bad moment. Now I realize it's impossible. Like it is just truly impossible to keep it down if it's true and genuine and, you know, comedy's thriving now and holy shit, right? I'm I'm so bullish on it that I'm even seeing it in our space. You know?

1:25:42Richard Greaser Can't keep it down. Well, who other than David Lucas performing at, the rabbit hole recap event, like, where will I also be seeing this in our space? I've seen it with you guys. So I'd say that you guys,

1:25:57Richard Greaser you guys are are are very funny. This is now like I feel like I'm being asked by HR to explain explain why it's funny. You know, I am very bullish on what the Bugle does. I've said this on every podcast I've ever been on, that I'm just very bullish, not only from a comedic perspective, but like,

1:26:20Richard Greaser I don't have to, like, it's just like, I don't have to be as vigilant about the things that bother me in Bitcoin because you guys are doing it and you're doing it in a funny you found it. You found a way that's funny. That's gonna be effective. It's a way that I've never I haven't found in my time here. You guys have found it. Right. We that's what that's one of our mottos is let us do the thinking for you. You don't have to be as vigilant. That's what we're for. Well, you're not doing thinking. You're doing the talking and it's it's it matters. The reporting. The reporting. Well, there's a reason why people really, like, like, are drawn to you guys. The reason you guys have built the audience you have in the last, I'll say, nine months. You can't, you know, you can't, you know, we you can't criticize PodCon on your own. Let's just put it that way. And so I just think that that people see their safe there's now becoming safety in numbers. They only got some bodies. We've taken a lot of PodCon down. We've made progress. Well, I think that's why the intellectual Silk Road is so important. You know, it's because, like, any anything like that is attempted to be done like this, you know, it it needs real people. Like, we don't we don't

1:27:31Richard Greaser we don't have the resources that the CIA does. You know what I mean? And so we have to counter them by real people coming alongside us. That's why I value the intellectual Silk Road so much is because what we're trying to do

1:27:47Richard Greaser is identify individuals that you know, like, their first thought when they when they started Bitcoin podcast is not, will HR be okay with this? Like, that's not even a thought in their head, you know, and that's, like, a good

1:28:02Richard Greaser qualification, you know, for who belongs here with us. Man, it is, like, upsetting and depressing how many people don't get past that first thought. But there's enough,

1:28:13Richard Greaser and we're growing. Yeah. I think we're unstoppable. Agreed. Well, did you want did you did you want me to try my, like, comedy bit? Maybe you could Yeah. Let's do it. Push me on it. Let's do it. Are you trying I mean, I feel like you've been filibustering

1:28:25Richard Greaser because you're afraid to do comedy for the first time in public. So let's do this.

1:28:31Richard Greaser Well, yeah. No. I'm I'm I'm definitely, you a little bit afraid. Because like, you know, because here's the thing. I went to four years of journalism school before I started practicing journalism. You know, I was I was properly prepared, but, you know, I've never I've never worked at a Wawa, you know, following my college degree. I went I went straight into, you know, the appointment of of the CIA by, you know, working at, like, a fine journalistic institution. I don't like to talk about which one it was, but, you know, it was one of the big

1:29:02Richard Greaser the big ones, but That was very respected. It's like Buc ee's. You know, it's very respected and,

1:29:07Richard Greaser regionally loved. I feel like I'm skipping some steps here, but I'll I'll give it a shot. Give it a shot. Let's do it. Alright. Here we go. So I'm gonna tell you why autism is a superpower. A lot of people think autism is a problem, but it definitely is not. That is why I'm pro vaccinating children in general.

1:29:30Richard Greaser I mean, how much of an asshole are you when you say, we need to stop vaccinating kids because it's giving them autism? Like, we we we actually need more autistic people in the world. So essentially, you know, how how we accomplish this, we can inject newborn children with tons of heavy metals, and then they get superpowers. So you might be wondering what what you might be wondering why autism is super powered. Right? Like, you know, I think, like, a lot of people, like,

1:30:01Richard Greaser you know, get offended when people say the word retarded, you know, because they think they're referring to an autistic person and putting them down. But, like, in this case, I think, like, the autistic person, you know, it's not a put down. You know, retarded does not cover this type of autism that I'm talking about. But, yeah, here's why autism is power. Superpower. Have you ever met somebody that bought Bitcoin before? Not only that, have you met someone who's bought Bitcoin and was too autistic to sell it? There's a lot of these people out there, you know, that are walking around,

1:30:34Richard Greaser and they say they bought Bitcoin. They go on Coinbase. They show them their asshole. It goes up a little bit, and they sell it. And they'll brag about how many USDT they were able to cash out on. I mean, that's kind of lame. Like, the autistic ones are the ones that didn't sell it. So what these autistic people do is they just sit on their ass all day listening to Bitcoin podcasts and get rich as fuck. Yeah, you non autistic in there probably listen to podcasts, but you're getting poor as fuck. It's because you're not autistic enough to listen to enough Bitcoin podcasts and not sell your Bitcoin.

1:31:10Richard Greaser You should be pissed at your parents for not having gotten you injected with enough vaccines as a newborn to make you autistic. They probably allowed you to drink fluoride and sent you to public schools, which makes you retarded, but not the right type of retardant. So non autistic people have bought Bitcoin too. The problem with non autistic people is that once they get rich, they usually find a woman to convince you to spend it all. So say you go through the process of buying Bitcoin, you don't sell it, you listen to a bunch of podcasts, and you're doing something you know, kinda similar to the process of this autistic superpowered

1:31:48Richard Greaser human being. Well, you're gonna get to a point where you get where, you know, because you're not autistic enough, you find a what? So, yeah, I mean, this is essentially, like, you know, how the dialogue goes. You know? You know, you find this woman. She knows that you're rich because of Bitcoin. And she goes, hey, honey. I know you like Bitcoin. Or you you have a lot of Bitcoin. You're rich. Will you take me to Target?

1:32:12Richard Greaser Hey, honey. Since we're out, can you take me to another million stores on top of Target? Like, the Target didn't have this 10 things that I mean. I know it's not a problem for you, you know, because you have money, because you're like, you can afford to pay your taxes because you bought Bitcoin. Hey, honey. I need to do this. I need to do that. Oh, and by the way, I don't really feel like having sex tonight. You know, the autist doesn't have this issue because on the first date, they're so off putting to the woman.

1:32:44Richard Greaser They're so off putting to the woman because all they want to talk about is what they heard in the Bitcoin podcast. They want to tell her about what Michael Saylor said. They want her to buy Bitcoin really bad. And she's like, you're not my vehicle to buy any shit or turds, so I don't want to be around you. You're the type of guy that sold your chairs.

1:33:07Richard Greaser You don't even have a frame for your mattress. You just sleep on a mattress on the floor, like, you know, because you're you're so long on Bitcoin. You know, the people in Bitcoin, they have this term. It's called taking the orange pill. And, you know, to explain that, it's kind of like taking, you know, the red pill in the matrix. But instead, you know, it's embracing some level of the spectrum

1:33:30Richard Greaser of autism. You know, I have a term that I coined for people so autistically obsessed with Bitcoin, they essentially clock block themselves, and it's called being in an orange shell. I'm not really sure why women generally can't wrap their minds around Bitcoin. This is a problem that we keep on encountering. We shared some ideas on this

1:33:53Richard Greaser podcast, and maybe that's why. Maybe it has to do with HR. Maybe it has to do with the elimination of cigarettes in the workplace. I don't know. But the reality is they're just very focused on what they could buy at heart. Yeah. Anyways, I'm really glad that governments are mandating childhood vaccines. And I'm very happy to say that in many,

1:34:18Richard Greaser many jurisdictions around The United States, the freest country in the world, if you as a parent don't go and pump your child full of heavy metals, you know, in the form of these vaccines when they're when they're newly born. Like, you know, when you're newly born, you should be pumping at least 17 vaccines into the right way. Right? The the the level of of

1:34:41Richard Greaser toxic metals should ensure autism. But, like, in many many states, like, you know, parents that attempt to do that or to not do that, they essentially, you know, you can be reported to child protective services. You know, I'm really grateful for that. And, like, this is an attitude that needs to change in the, the general Bitcoin community. You know, you you should realize, you know, you should want your child to have autism.

1:35:09Richard Greaser You shouldn't be, you know, raising kids, like, off the books. I I can argue of keeping them out in public schools, but, you know, you should at least get your children vaccinated. Yeah. That's my bad. I think,

1:35:23Rod Palmer really goes well with this is a little known fact that Dustin Hoffman actually got vaccinated so he could play the role of Raynham.

1:35:33Richard Greaser Yeah. That was a really method. That was some was really serious method acting. Yeah. You know, you remind you know, my I have, you know, two I have two daughters. One of them was diagnosed with autism, but I knew it wasn't true. Congratulations. I I I knew it wasn't true though, so, like, I couldn't, like, really embrace it. Appreciate it. But maybe it's

1:35:55Richard Greaser maybe the diagnosis speaks to an ability to be a Bitcoiner, but not like traditional autism.

1:36:03Rod Palmer So perhaps So I've hoped Perhaps perhaps she is so orange pill that she was misdiagnosed. And that's like kind of like where you want to get to where it's like you can't tell the difference anymore.

1:36:17Richard Greaser I think, yeah. I mean, like what what what does the doctor like use as their their basis for diagnosing that? Was was she listening to what Bitcoin did or, you know, what's the deal here? Did you know that's a lot of us said to she?

1:36:29Richard Greaser It was a, that was it was a clinical it was some clinical test. And, you know, I do, I have a theory, you know, autism is over diagnosed. We know this.

1:36:42Rod Palmer Otherwise, that price would be higher, yeah.

1:36:44Richard Greaser I think the government's trying to figure out who the threats are to its power. Like, who is really gonna be who are we really gonna be? So we're gonna find every person who has a every kid, every child who has a chance of being autistic. We're gonna find out who they are so that either we can normify them, NPC them, or Pips. Make them work for us. Spectrum camps. It's like yeah. Like, it's like, emperor Palpatine, you know, finding out who who has force sense, who has, like, who can use the force, and then they he rounds them up and murders them. You know?

1:37:17Richard Greaser Yeah. I mean, like, why why else would they put fluoride in the water? They just wanna limit people's superpowers. They don't they don't want individuals to be, like, superhumans, you know, orange pilled,

1:37:30Richard Greaser smart. They don't want that. No. Absolutely. Absolutely not. But they really I mean, what they really don't want is autistic people. Like, they don't want it. See, I mean, it is such a threat. They you know, to be resilient to an unaffected by their propaganda, by their gaslighting, by every by all of that and just that you could just you could sit and huddle through all that. I mean, you are absolute enemy of the state. No doubt about it. So yeah. I mean, do do you have any do you have any coaching for me on the on that bit? Like, do I need some refining? What should I change? Definitely. Yes. So, I mean, dude, that was like, it's a great bit. Okay? It's original premise. What you need to do is,

1:38:11Richard Greaser my my advice is, you know, take a look at it and try to add more punch lines more frequently. I think that's how you that's how you'll get dude, this is a I have to tell you, this is a tough, I mean, you got your audience. Your audience, I think, likes you in general. So you know you've got a friendly audience out there, but you can't hear anybody laughing. And I've spent half this episode trying to hold my laughter back so that you don't hear it. So I think it was tough to do that into no laughter, but that's a good experience for you.

1:38:42Rod Palmer If you got to open up. And sometimes you'll go out. Sometimes you'll go out. To do it in a theater, you won't hear you laughing. So you gotta

1:38:50Richard Greaser keep doing the sets until the laughter starts to come. Yeah. But then just look and see how you can make more jokes more often through that story. You know what I mean? And that's the formula. More jokes more often. We can come look we can look through the set look through the, the bit and look for opportunities to throw some tags on. You you start as like I heard you do it because I read I, you know, I read that it was good writing but I heard you already in the moment throwing some tags in there. So, yeah. Like I said, more jokes. Just more, you know. That's how you you people have a very limited attention span. This is the one thing I, like, I learned early when I was doing stand up is that you have to be thrown punch lines in often, almost every few seconds. That's interesting.

1:39:37Richard Greaser Yeah. I mean, I I think this is gonna be an interesting transition, kinda like exploring this, this world of comedy because comedy is not a Bitcoin podcast.

1:39:46Richard Greaser You know, it's not like traditional journalism. It's very different. That's right. That's very true. And that's, you know, when I came back from Nashville, that's our, you know, like our episode was essentially titled Bitcoin is unfunny. You know? It's What we teach you to do to resist the government is not funny, right,

1:40:07Rod Palmer in general. That's true. And that is perhaps the best way to resist despite being funny. Yeah. Because you just even if you got a major the target of your mission, if you can make them laugh at you while you are taking them down, if they're laughing, they can't attack you.

1:40:28Richard Greaser Well, do you think this is why there's been this general push for compliance in the Bitcoin industry in general is because compliance is funnier than resisting the government? I don't know if they realize that. I don't know if that's a deliberate

1:40:42Rod Palmer strategy, but it just so happens to be true.

1:40:46Richard Greaser Well, I think compliance is funnier to HR people. That's true.

1:40:51Rod Palmer That's true. That's how you can make compliance. That's how, excuse me, compliance is how you can make HR laugh without getting fired. As the Really? The only way without laughing with you, they're laughing at you, she's saying as a comedian. It's the only safe lane of comment of you know, for them. That's why when you when they

1:41:08Richard Greaser you know, to somebody like me or us, it's just gross and unfunny. But to them, they can go out to their bar and laugh about that shit forever.

1:41:18Rod Palmer Right. What's

1:41:22Richard Greaser the difference between HR and the saucy, like in East Berlin? I think it's just a level of power. I mean, there's so many parallels to it. You know? It's like they they essentially create these informer net networks, you know, where they try and turn everybody into the company into a snitch.

1:41:39Richard Greaser You know? And they're they're essentially collecting information. And Yeah. I mean, in HR, they make you do trainings every year and those trainings basically all say, you know, if you're unsure, you you have to go to HR. If you're unsure Imagine how Yeah. Imagine how powerful HR could be

1:41:57Rod Palmer if they started paying you SATs for snitches. If people were snitching for NSAIDs, oh, that'd be tough. Oh my god. SATs for snitches. Stitches get sats. That's not that's not

1:42:11Richard Greaser something we want to see happen. Oh my God. Well, I I I almost take back saying we need better enemies. That is really, really frightening.

1:42:19Rod Palmer It is. Yeah. Thermodynamically sound HR would be tough. Have we got the are we are we heading into boost?

1:42:34Richard Greaser Yeah. I think we should go to the boost right now. Let's do it. So since yeah. So let me just lastly say I did not boost the last episode. So I just

1:42:41Rod Palmer sorry, guys. I just didn't like it. So sorry. You know what? Why don't you start us off and read the first page?

1:42:50Richard Greaser I can't see it, unfortunately. I've, like, I don't know. I can't it's too small.

1:42:55Richard Greaser I can't Let me let me try it. Oh, here we go. Sorry. I need to fix my typewriter.

1:43:02Rod Palmer How's that? This isn't too small.

1:43:05Richard Greaser Yeah. Very good. Alright. So alright. So first boost. Favorite. Or freaking. Hashlet It. 101101 SATS. Solid palindrome.

1:43:17Richard Greaser It's a mega boost. There is just something about a credentialed man smoking cigarettes, cigarette icon, that makes me wetter than an otter's pocket. Hello. I'm not sure what this emoji Oh, it's an emoji of wetness. It's like damp It's like a dampness emoji. Wow.

1:43:37Richard Greaser I found this show because Max and John, shout out, never shut up about the bugle. Fucking weak ass simps. I dis I disagree. Anyway, it's nice to find some real men. Yours, hashtag it.

1:43:53Richard Greaser I don't know what what what is up with this? We we've got all these ladies in the comments every week, you know, simping for us.

1:44:01Rod Palmer If you're doing something right.

1:44:04Richard Greaser Maybe. I mean, look, maybe I was wrong about Steven. I mean, I'm willing honestly, I'm always willing to be wrong. And Satz, you communicate with Satz, you might prove me wrong.

1:44:16Rod Palmer Yeah. Put your money where your mouth is. You didn't boost this one, so

1:44:21Richard Greaser I mean, what's kinda crazy about, like, that boost and the size is that that's essentially, like, one carton of cigarettes in one boost, which might be one of the biggest boosts we've ever received. Like, Stakatoshi might be second place.

1:44:37Richard Greaser Shout out, Stakatoshi.

1:44:42Richard Greaser Well, yeah. Appreciate it, Hashlodet. Yeah. There is definitely something different or special about credentialed men smoking cigarettes. I mean, it's like, you know, what we're trying to do around here, we're trying to revive the spirit of the Marlboro man. We don't we don't want soy toxic or soy masculinity, taking over the world. And, like We don't wanna be NPR.

1:45:09Richard Greaser Yeah. We don't wanna be NPR. We don't we don't wanna be, like, you know, one of these quote unquote Bitcoin companies, whatever that means, with HR department. Your your girl, your girl's the next one, Rob. I just let you read that one.

1:45:28Rod Palmer It's Hot Will Not four twenty. We've got a complicated past. She bashed to 20,000. I don't know what I just listened to. Is Steven hot?

1:45:39Rod Palmer Of course, he is. I've seen his lifting videos. Kinda wanna smash. Mister CD Brown did a much better job than Rod. Fuck that ass clown with a small cock. Wow. It may be small, but my my stack, my stack is not small. That's what that's what matters. And I

1:45:59Rod Palmer I just sense, I just sense jealousy, bitterness that, that things did not work out. Sorry. You portray yourself as a sexy op babe and you look like Nancy Grace. And that's just I don't I don't like dishonesty.

1:46:17Richard Greaser Nancy Grace is kinda hot.

1:46:22Rod Palmer Not anymore.

1:46:24Richard Greaser I've been told by other sources that Miss Huddle On is actually hot, so I don't really know what to think you're on. But

1:46:32Rod Palmer Well, you know I guess, you know, every one man's is another man's terrorist. So I guess I I'll leave it up to you to decide.

1:46:41Richard Greaser Well, I think I don't think I really need to make a decision right now on that one. You know, maybe I'll I'll go do some personal research, you know, in the future with, miss HuddleNaut four twenty. But, you know, what I what I would say, you know, what I would ask you, miss HuddleNaut, you know, in I don't I don't think Rod has a small car. You know, I've never seen it. I'm not afraid of seeing it, but I don't particularly want to either.

1:47:10Richard Greaser But my question for you would be, you know, how big is your pussy? You know, because maybe it's only small relative into the size of your pussy. I I I that's a joke that I I copied from a comedian that I heard earlier.

1:47:22Rod Palmer And for somebody for somebody who smokes Virginia saloons, you know, you'd think that you would be used to skinny and long, it's the same barrier size as a regular Marlboro. It's just longer and skinnier.

1:47:42Richard Greaser Well, again, I mean, what what can women do? Like, I I know that we know of, like, different therapies that men can do for having a bigger penis. And, like, one of them is not being a beta, you know, not supporting PodConf and and smoking Marlboro Reds. But, like, is there, like, some sort of remedy? And none of us are women.

1:48:03Richard Greaser You know, maybe after the show, I'll ask Hailey. But, you know, are are there, like, common remedies for women to make their their pussies tighter? Or are they kinda screwed? If they're loose, they're loose.

1:48:17Richard Greaser I thought kegels. I thought kegels were were for that. Right. There's an exercise. Yeah.

1:48:25Richard Greaser Okay. What'd you call it? Kegels?

1:48:30Rod Palmer Yeah. Expiration. You have to look that one up.

1:48:37Richard Greaser It's really flat, right?

1:48:40Rod Palmer Yeah. That's essentially what it boils down to. Yeah. Also not be a whore. That's that's another one. Yeah. That's kegels and and what's the word I'm looking for? Chastity.

1:48:55Richard Greaser Well, this is like one of those things that's kind of unfair about the world, right? Which is where, you know, if women are whores, their their pussies get tighter. But if men are whores, their dicks don't get smaller. Right? Or am I wrong there? Does your dick get smaller from being a whore?

1:49:14Rod Palmer That's a good question. We have to ask scientists for that one. We don't have the credentials for that. I think it depends if you,

1:49:20Richard Greaser if you require drugs to do your job. There you go. Yeah.

1:49:25Richard Greaser Yeah. But, like, you don't need drugs to do your job. You just need dentist work.

1:49:31Rod Palmer There you go.

1:49:33Richard Greaser Like the pharmaceutical industry is just like completely, completely getting railed right now because of dentist work. Well, so The Viagra sales are probably down, like, 50% this year.

1:49:47Richard Greaser But, like, yeah. So a lot of, like, male whores get coke dick. Right? But now that Dennis Porter exists, they don't have that anymore. So they they have they have, full rods.

1:49:60Rod Palmer Full rods.

1:50:02Richard Greaser Full rods. Oh, yeah. Our next boost, for 10,000 Sass is from our good friend, QW, at, Plug Chain Radio who says, know your cart's KYC compliance makes the NGU

1:50:18Richard Greaser rocket ship emoji. I think, I like know your cucked as, like, a different version of that acronym because I think that's a little bit more accurate. Right?

1:50:33Rod Palmer Yeah. I like that too. KeyW is a creative fellow.

1:50:39Richard Greaser Here here's why Know Your Cut is great. It's great because, you know, when when you're buying Bitcoin, the proper way, when you're buying it the proper way, like a real human being, it's just between you and the other party. But

1:50:57Richard Greaser when you're participating in this KYC process, you know, Lubbka talked about this where, you know, he uses, like, multiple KYC vendors. But you're essentially, like, bringing different parties in to, like, you know, watch the experience, you know, almost. Mhmm. And it's just kinda, like, weird. Like, there there's an audience entering this this intimate and sacred,

1:51:22Richard Greaser process of you acquiring thermodynamically sound mind.

1:51:29Richard Greaser Should mention this boost got some Nostr engagement.

1:51:33Richard Greaser I don't I don't Oh, wow. Yeah, I did. I got five comments. I I don't know how to work this monster thing. I need my my wife to, you know, teach me it later tonight. Or, you know, Kaylee. Either way. Can you like

1:51:56Rod Palmer Yeah. The lights are on the roster.

1:52:00Richard Greaser Interesting. Oh, I'm not logged in to found on this typewriter. That makes

1:52:08Richard Greaser sense. You wanna get the next one for the middle? Oh, sure. Sure. Yeah. So this is Orange Mart 5,000 sats and they say, Orange Mart boosts in 5,000 sats and says nothing. That's weird. Anyway, thank you. Orange Mart for the boost. It's a little confusing. It's like did they get hacked? And some of the Well, I think what happened

1:52:30Richard Greaser I think what happened last time is they they just boosted without a comment. And so I I said that, so I think they're just referencing what I said in the fountain boost last time. Actually, I I didn't click until now. I was thinking about that earlier this week when I saw I was just I was kinda confused by it. But

1:52:50Richard Greaser Yeah. You know, I I sent four boosts last time. I think I'm gonna bequeath one of those for this episode, now that I see some of these boosts changing my mind a little bit.

1:52:59Richard Greaser What do you mean?

1:53:00Richard Greaser I'm gonna take one of those four boosts I gave on the last episode, Five and then I'm gonna give you I'm gonna give one of them I'm gonna apply one of them to this one. There we go. I'm gonna end the boycott.

1:53:12Richard Greaser Okay.

1:53:13Rod Palmer The next one is from from Vade two thousand and seven. In the spirit of compliance, I text an FBI agent for permission before making any major life decision. It's a very wise strategy. That's all I have to say about that. I mean, those guys are the trillionaires of compliance, so they have the latest,

1:53:37Rod Palmer policies to to give you the best guidance, the best counsel.

1:53:46Richard Greaser I wonder if there would be a way to directly text the FBI's HR department and you could, you know, skip past the intermediary agent. Because you know you know that when you text the agent for for compliance tips, they're gonna refer to their own HR. Just kinda like cutting out the middleman in the equation.

1:54:04Rod Palmer They might be able to get that from Plattider. I have to talk to him about that.

1:54:11Richard Greaser If you could make them laugh, you might actually get through to them. You know? Interesting. You know, I think we used to do sexual espionage, but now it's so hard. That's so hard to do now because everyone's just hard to get anybody horny because their T levels are so low. But if you can make them laugh,

1:54:28Rod Palmer I think you may have Yeah. If you're not Dennis Porter, you better go with humor because you're not gonna you're not gonna get them

1:54:36Richard Greaser any other way. Sure. But that's kind of an interesting point. So do you think Dennis Porter might be kind of like our version of Jeffrey Epstein where he is essentially going and sexually compromising all of these different politicians. Like, you know, like, we we have, like,

1:54:58Richard Greaser verbal documentation of a Alexandria Ocasio Cortez essentially saying that that Dennis Orange killed her so hard, you know. And I think that was kinda like her her cryptic way of alluding to this a little bit. You think she was compelled to say that by the blackmail?

1:55:20Rod Palmer Interesting.

1:55:23Richard Greaser Is this is this why Kamala is now somewhat pro crypto? Is because Dennis Porter has has blackmail on it. He he's got it. He's got a tape of her of him orange peeling her real hard. And she doesn't want her husband to see that. We need to get our hands on that tape. The next boost is from Bliza

1:55:48Richard Greaser for 1111¢. It says nice. Well, nice to you. That's, a cigarette for us, Bliza. Appreciate the support. Oh, okay. I'll I'll read the next one too. So, Abile,

1:56:07Richard Greaser who I think was formerly known as brother Abile, says, this must be the record for most KYC message or mentions in the conversation.

1:56:20Rod Palmer That's a pretty, that's a pretty high honor, highly distinguished I would episode today. I would dispute

1:56:31Richard Greaser that that that would be a record. But I don't know. Where do we find where can we find that?

1:56:38Rod Palmer I mean, I'm doing real vision.

1:56:41Richard Greaser I I think that we should try to set the record for saying KYC the most times, and then we should submit it to Guinness Book of World Records. And that way, we would have the proper documentation. Just once and for all. Yeah. I agree.

1:56:57Rod Palmer And the last one, just from b t c on board, l n enhance and hashtag CTV, two episodes and just three or two, laughing emojis.

1:57:11Rod Palmer Thanks for this. Thanks for the boost. We'll add that to eight mile stats. I think that should be enough for us to hear it.

1:57:24Richard Greaser Yeah. I think that pretty much wraps up the show. Do we have any announcements we wanna make?

1:57:31Rod Palmer You know, just, just a reminder, the presidential selection live stream on Tuesday night, that is at 9PM Eastern, 8PM Central.

1:57:44Rod Palmer Tune in for that drop in. Let us know what you think. React to the cloud world insanity.

1:57:53Richard Greaser Yep. Do you have do you have any closing thoughts, fundamentals for us?

1:57:59Richard Greaser Had a great time guys. Really, I was really concerned about how this was gonna go. I know you guys. I get confused interacting with your fucking characters. This is great. Had a great fucking time. Many laughs and hope to do it again.

1:58:18Richard Greaser Yeah. We should definitely do it again. I mean, I I think it's gonna be really interesting to see how our, our kind of, like, attempt to to enter the comedy space.

1:58:30Richard Greaser I'm proud of you, by the way. I'm, like, proud of you for I like, that that was big, man. That was big, and I'm I'm bullish. I'm even more bullish on the future now that you've gotten you broke your chair.

1:58:43Richard Greaser Well, I'm planning on going to some open mics, you know, here in the near future. I plan on on on trying to do this. It's it's just like, you know, I I think it's kinda hard to, like, to communicate

1:59:02Richard Greaser ideas to people that have not listened to as many Bitcoin podcasts as I am. It's gonna be a challenge, man. Definitely. But

1:59:10Richard Greaser you know what? Everybody has that. Everybody has a communication struggle, especially who does stand up. And you just have to, like, force your voice onto onto that scene. That's what we have. That's what everyone is doing.

1:59:27Richard Greaser We're we're having to decondition ourselves from HR, from an HR compliant mindset. Yep. What's your thoughts for today, Rob?

1:59:38Rod Palmer No, like I said, just two to thank you, the fundamentals for coming on. We didn't get that first laugh. We'll give that first aid stand up joke for you. It's pretty cocky to you, including having you on. It's always a pleasure interacting with you. And, I'm hoping that we can make sure that online episodes in the future are worthy of a fundamentals boost.

2:00:08Richard Greaser Yeah. I mean, that's a pretty high bar to get.

2:00:12Rod Palmer Absolutely.

2:00:13Richard Greaser Okay. What do you what do you think should be, like I guess I just wanna riff a little bit longer, but, like, what do you think is a harder thing to achieve? Getting a laugh out of crowd or getting fountainfish from your audience?

2:00:29Richard Greaser I mean, I think that it's not as hard to get a laugh out of a crowd as you think because even even if you suck, they feel very uncomfortable unless they give you a laugh. So like, you know, I think it's harder to get sets.

2:00:45Richard Greaser Interesting.

2:00:48Rod Palmer You wanna get you've got an audience when you're when you're on stage getting boost from an audience, you have to have, you have to build that audience yourself.

2:00:58Richard Greaser Yeah. But I mean, it costs nothing to give a give a laugh. You know? That's true. It's not generational wealth.

2:01:09Richard Greaser That's a good point. You can't you can't buy cigarettes with laughs directly. Right?

2:01:16Richard Greaser You can't smoke sass.

2:01:19Richard Greaser You can't smoke laughs. You can smoke sass, actually. That's right. You can't smoke laughs. This is why Peter Schiff is so stupid. It's because, you know, he didn't get vaccinated enough as a child. He didn't listen to enough Bitcoin podcasts. And didn't realize that you can take your Bitcoin wallet, you can take your passphrase, you can write it on paper, you can roll it into a cigarette, and you can a 100% smoke that. What a tard.

2:01:49Rod Palmer What a tard.
