0:00Richard Greaser So, dude, I've were you following Maxi Madness on Noster? Yeah. Sorry. Sorry. I I saw the one comment you lost because I didn't Yeah. I lost because you didn't zap for me. The the

0:16Richard Greaser finals was rev huddle versus it was awesome. Like, I'm glad he won. But, let me see. And he was against this woman, Noah.

0:32Richard Greaser What's her name? Let me get it right. Noah Gruman, who I guess is. So to your point about deepfakes, I was convinced until like two days ago that the Bugle guys made her up that she's not a real person. Which I'm pretty sure I'm pretty sure.

0:57Richard Greaser Yeah. I mean, she's saying the maxi madness theme song and stuff. I'm I was I was pretty sure she was a fake person created by the bugle boys. Now they could be trolling me. They could be trolling me. But I am now convinced that she's a real person. And we may or may not she might perform at our Vegas event,

1:19Richard Greaser which I insist on. Because otherwise, I'm not gonna believe she's real. Because you know what? She's gonna perform the Maxi Madness theme song at at our RHR pub queue then. Oh, no. This is they're trolling you, brother. You don't think she's real? I mean, they're notorious. Like, they were doing AI generated music, like, four years ago. I know. I know. I know.

1:41Richard Greaser I know. I'm aware. No way. I'm aware. I think she might be real. I think she might be real. But this is my point. It's like, how do there's no way to know unless I've if unless you meet her in person, there's no way to know if she's a real person. Look at this. They're gonna hire they're gonna hire some actors in Vegas to make you like, this is this is gonna be, like, a multi layer troll on you. Right? I mean, maybe. They end up, you know. I don't the whole point I bring it up is who the hell knows? Like, what is true and what's not? Pull up this. This was the, this is the one that just threw me for a fucking loop. Apparently, not Odell.

2:42Richard Greaser Sorry, Odell. She looks real. Logan, you gotta turn the left the audio on. We we can't hear any audio, but I can't even hear it myself. I gotta figure it with Okay. Fair enough. It doesn't matter, but she looks really real in this. Right? Yeah. And she calls me out by name. And they told me she's come she's hopefully gonna be at the Vegas event to perform. They asked me if she could perform at the Vegas event.

3:13Richard Greaser Speaking of which, the Vegas event. The Thomas, apparently, are they doing the spaces right now? They're on X. Bugle Boys and PubKitti may be doing the next. Yeah. See Kieran Kieran's saying she streams on ZapStream, raffle. And then Joker has says she's a singer in a real band, Serge Skarda. Does the band exist? Have you have you met the band?

3:38Rod Palmer Folks, welcome back to the People Weekly. And, I'm excited because I think we're gonna get back to some semblance of normalcy. Maxi Madness is over. And, you know, Maxi Madness, for the organizers, like, it I I know a lot of the participants and just people around it, they they feel like it hijacks their lives. But when you're the organizer, it's like taking a macro dose of acid,

4:05Rod Palmer you know, and you're just along for the ride. You're along for the duration of the ride. There's no turning back at that point. It's in your system. You just gotta ride the wave, try to enjoy it. You have no control over where the trip takes you. But, yeah, we're we're on the comedown now, and we're we're feeling the the hangover effects a little bit. I you know, I think in in both of our cases, we're feeling the afterglow.

4:32Rod Palmer Now everybody else seems like they're kinda hungover from Maxi Madness. So people are talking about how, Noster is dead. Like, Lahav was posting about how Noster's dead now that Maxi Madness is over. People on Twitter are crashing out. They're they're writing out all of their grievances with Maxi Madness.

4:54Rod Palmer And, I don't know. It's it's funny. I mean, the, you know, the the popular debate on Doster right now is whether or not Noah Grumman is a real person or not. I think Twitter just kind of assumed she's not. It it's just it's funny. I mean, we live in this, you know, wild world where where individuals are not willing to do any sort of due diligence or research on anything.

5:22Rod Palmer And, they'll just kinda write off one of the greatest performers in the world as a, as a bot. But then they'll they'll take all these plug bots seriously, like the real person people, and argue with them and get mad. We're just

5:43Rod Palmer in a in a funny, funny, funny place right now. But, Ron, how you feeling? How's the Afterglow treating you?

5:51Richard Greaser That's how I Maxi Madness, it takes a lot out of you. It takes it's it's it's consuming. And it's

6:02Richard Greaser it's interesting to watch the crash out because, you know, it's almost ironic for me to say don't overthink or don't take maxi madness too seriously after putting so much time and effort into it for two or three weeks leading up to it and then the event itself but

6:21Richard Greaser any you got the rise and fall of Timothy Bitcoins, you have Aaron Redwing defeating Ross Ulbricht in the first round like just absolutely setting the tone for the insanity and the madness that was to come. You have Casey Ordinals taking it all, I mean, Bitcoin Max is letting

6:42Richard Greaser Hodlnaut lose so early in the tournament and then letting Casey Ordinals win and then somehow blaming it on on the Bugle as if we had anything to do with this. The Bugle does not tip the scales, does not participate in botting or, or, or scanning the the Vivo titles it's simply democracy.

7:07Richard Greaser So crashing out of it's so weird but it's yeah I'm just recovering I'm, I'm resting trying to get my my energy back up but the you know one of the interesting things that we learned and we talked about this on Spaces a little bit but I don't know if we talked about this on the show yet is that the absolute

7:28Richard Greaser behis poor performance by the Nazis in Maxi Madness is just, it it is very obvious a death knell for BIP 110. And not only that, the Maxi Mad Maxi Madness only runs for one week. And in one week, the Maxi Madness

7:46Richard Greaser predicts prediction markets, got over 1.2 Bitcoin. And then you know in several months the BIP 110 prediction market was just posted about

8:00Richard Greaser cried about coked about on a daily basis on the timeline it's still not even up to 1 Bitcoin yet so Maxi Madness in one week eclipsed the the entire BIP 110 market. And, that's not just that this is no longer a subjective opinion. This is no longer

8:22Richard Greaser editorialization of the matter, it is literally the market telling you that that, Maxi Madness is bigger than BIP 110, and that is that's it's really pathetic if you ask me.

8:36Rod Palmer It is pathetic. You know, some people were upset, petitioning, saying that we we didn't include real maxis in this tournament, which I I found very laughable. I think we did a really good job of curating some of the the greatest Maxis of all time in this tournament, at least at, you know, their performance over the last year. And what what they were essentially complaining about is that they wanted more

9:04Rod Palmer plebs slot maximalist, not Bitcoin maximalist. And, it's just there's a lot of individuals with very, like, skewed views of reality that is,

9:18Rod Palmer that I think Maxi Madness exposed quite a bit, and the the prediction markets exposed. It's, you know, we've been talking about prediction markets on this show pretty much since the inception, and,

9:34Rod Palmer it's something I think we're both, you know, excited and passionate about because, you know, they were talked about by the early cypherpunks. And, you know, they've been talked about for a long time as, like, this free market oracle of information. And, you know, being a journalist, you like, you care about

9:57Rod Palmer the truth. You like, you know, there there's some people like Tomer. You know, Tomer thinks that the keys to life are, like, you know, love and peace and and happiness and harmony, you know, which are all nice. Like, I value those things too, but, like, if you don't have the truth mixed in with those things, you're you're really missing something that's important. The truth matters. Reality matters,

10:24Rod Palmer believe it or not. And, we you know, there there's been a lot of loss of trust in credentials. There's been a lot of loss of trust in institutions like the institution of journalism because that's what happens when, you know, the CIA captures something is they just they break everybody's trust. It's like you're the job of the CIA is literally to tell lies. That's the job of being a spy.

10:53Rod Palmer And so when you allow the liars to take over the information channels, like people are gonna obviously lose distrust, but that doesn't mean that journalism inherently is bad. It just means that spook journalism is bad. And, there there there's nuance to this. And, you know, I think prediction markets are interesting, in this world that we live in as, you know, being able to determine our culture.

11:23Richard Greaser The Platas say they value the truth, and maybe they do to a certain extent, but the Platas only value the truth until it starts encroaching on their plug slop journalism or their plump slop empire that they're trying to build and that's a problem that's where the incentives are worked.

11:42Richard Greaser You can only if you only value truth until the point that it threatens you the truth threatens you then you don't value truth and you know this is this is one of the problems with with Homer his girlfriend DJ Valerie Love. It's it's all about peace and love and pledge slop until until something threatens their their little, you know, pledge slop echo chamber.

12:10Richard Greaser And the the truth drowns out these echo chambers and it makes them it it exposes them as like the wizard of Oz behind the curtain making it making this this show, this this charade, this

12:28Richard Greaser you know like the Plato's cave with the shadows cast on the wall once you expose that and a lot of people start asking questions it really upsets them and prediction markets do this prediction markets you know any anybody can make a prediction anybody can have a thesis or a you know

12:49Richard Greaser a base case as people like to say in the, in the space here but if you're not willing to put your money where your blood slot is, that is a red flag, and it's a problem. This and this is why I think pledge are so terrified of prediction markets.

13:11Richard Greaser Absolutely. And and this is also why some clubs are so bad at prediction markets. There's a lot of poly market plebs out there who who see a prediction market and they think, here's my chance to stack more sats because I listen to podcast, I know more than everybody else. But you know this is this is why we're gonna get into these crash outs right and like why are they crashing out? It's because of the planets don't understand we talked about this don't understand the rules of the game that they are playing and this is the same thing that happens in Maxie Madness the plans crash out because they don't understand what Maxie Madness is and they think Maxie Madness should have

13:50Richard Greaser an outcome that is that it is satisfying to their little blood feelings, and that's not how Massy Madness works, and this is and this this leads to crash outs.

14:05Rod Palmer Absolutely. I mean, the the prediction markets and the plugs being on the prediction markets, I think is a is a massive opportunity for growth because it allows them to put their Plebs slop that they've been consuming to the test and, like, for them to be be real consequences. Like, one of the consistent problems for the plebs

14:28Rod Palmer is they have short memories. And, you know, they walk away from Bitcoin podcast just, you know, asking themselves how it made them feel at the end of the day. Like, did it did it make them feel good? Did it make them feel smart? Did it make them feel better? Like, hey, you know, I just listened to Tom Luongo spot off about complete and utter bullshit

14:50Rod Palmer on Marty's podcast, but, like, it makes me feel like I'm smarter. So I can go repeat the plebslop that I heard Tom Luongo say to my family, and their their heads are gonna spin because they're gonna have no idea what I'm talking about. I'm gonna feel, like, smart and sophisticated. But, you know, they if they then take that misinformation or just pour information and embed on it and are wrong consistently over and over, they might learn the lesson that they shouldn't listen to Tom DeLongeau on his opinions on things. That he's not,

15:24Rod Palmer the best. But, like, what you're seeing happening right now is, there's a contingency of plebs that are trying to become influencers. You know? And for years, you know, they why did the plebs start calling themselves plebs and start bragging about being plebs?

15:41Rod Palmer Because they were proud of not being influencers. And so, you know, for years and years, they criticized the influencers. They made fun of them. And, you know, they they're coming to this hard realization of how hard it is to be an influencer. Like, it takes a lot of work to be an influencer, and it's hard to be in the public spotlight at the center of the, you know, the ring of the circus with all the standing around, like, judging you for your circus performance.

16:11Rod Palmer And, it's it it's you know, I I have hope for, you know, these trying to become influencers that, you know, they they'll learn some lessons and they'll grow and they'll get better at it. But right now, we're we're at this very strange, transition point where they're they're being plebs, like, Foley, and, they're influencing

16:37Rod Palmer very, very poorly. And it's very comical, to read the the slop and the garbage that they're spewing right now.

16:47Richard Greaser Well, hey. That's the irony right, the crash out part of the crash outs is because plebs their entire culture their entire identity is anti influencer but they're they've never been more grumpy about the lack of influence that they have it's like if you want to be a retarded pleb that is you know that is a choice that is an identity choice it's not illegal

17:12Richard Greaser there's nothing illegal about being a pleb. But understand who you are, get through the cognitive dissonance because plebs are not influential. Nobody is influenced by a pleb. A pleb is an anti influencer. No. And nobody looks at a pleb and says, I want what they have. I want to be like them. They they think, wow, I'm glad I'm not them. So you it should not be surprising if you are a plaid and people are like, I don't I don't wanna I don't wanna do and had anything to do with what these guys are doing. They they, from an outside looking in these guys are retarded. And I don't want to be retarded.

17:53Richard Greaser And and if you want to embrace that there's some people who embrace that and they're not at all grumpy about the lack of influence they have. Like Peter Bob, Peter Bob has no influence and he doesn't care he is just he's just riling people up,

18:12Richard Greaser but there's a lot of plebs who they really freak out about having zero influence but that is that is that comes with the territory. It's it's like Kletter, he he gets so mad about people marketing on a social marketing platform. That's a whole reason Twitter exists is to market your plat your brand market your company market yourself whatever it is so when Plenaire gets grumpy crashes out about people doing that it's like

18:40Richard Greaser the whole purpose of this platform is marketing. The whole purpose of being a plud is to not add any influence.

18:49Rod Palmer It's kind of like getting mad at people for driving on the highway.

18:54Richard Greaser Yeah. Like getting mad at traffic, right? Why are all these people driving on this road? Well, that's what roads are for, my friend. The roads are coming in and out of the city just like what you're doing on the road. Well, you're you're a part of this bigger system and to get upset about it is just you know I mean don't get me wrong traffic is frustrating but having enough self awareness to realize that you are the traffic is,

19:20Richard Greaser hey you know this is this is another part of the pledge they don't understand that the the whole reason that plaids emerged as a community or whatever is to be trafficked they were the swans could traffic trinkets to them

19:38Richard Greaser Other companies could traffic the plaids to make it seem like this brand or this this movement was a larger thing than it really was and so to be plaintiffs get so upset about the scammers and influencers who are taking advantage of the plebs. That is the point of a pleb is to be traffic. If you are a pleb, you are there, you are part of the traffic.

20:03Rod Palmer It's pretty funny to watch. I'm having a good time with it. I mean, it's just it's, it's, there's nothing funnier than reality. Like, I I just don't really understand why why comedy even exists at this point when you can just, report the news and it's just about the funniest shit you've ever seen. But, yeah, it's

20:28Rod Palmer it's been entertaining to watch, the the crash outs from from Maxi Madness for for the most part. Some some of the crash outs have been a little bit disappointing, but, Noster, there were some crash outs, but it it was fairly tame. It was just like, you know, the competition got heated because there was a lot of money on the predicts market. So, you know, people are passionate about, you know, the results in the polls, and, that's okay.

20:56Rod Palmer Now the Twitter one, the Twitter crash has had been very funny because they don't think that Casey and Aaron are maximalists. And, I think what what we really saw happen this year was

21:14Rod Palmer a shift in the overtime window that has some people very grumpy and uncomfortable. And instead of this is like, you know, like watching the libs when, lose their shit when Trump got,

21:30Rod Palmer selected, the first time in 2016. Instead of asking why this happened, they just lost their minds and were reading. And and we're seeing the same exact behavior on,

21:49Rod Palmer on Twitter, you know, from, like, a lot of these guys. So I I think it's an important question to ask, why did this happen, Ron? Why did Casey and Aaron win Maximus this year?

22:02Richard Greaser The the the time is crashing out. They're saying that Aaron and Casey are not maximalists. Again, this goes back to the plebs not even understanding the own terminology that they use. They think that that being a maximalist

22:18Richard Greaser is the equivalent or is like saying that they that you're a retarded pleb. No, that's not what Maximalist is about being Bitcoin only like being Bitcoin that's the only thing you care about so anything you build on that's the only thing you buy or trade

22:36Richard Greaser that's the only thing you podcast about has nothing to do with being a retarded pleb or eating steak every day or you know being a taco pleb or whatever pleb universe you're in it's about Bitcoin and Aaron and Casey are Bitcoin maximalists. They've always they've always been Bitcoin maximalists. I I maybe in early twenty twenty or something Erin, you know, when she was

23:01Richard Greaser first getting into it, she, you know, like like Misty, maybe she was mining some Chia or something. But, if that most of the plebs who were crashing out were also doing that in 2020 and 2021. So, like, that doesn't really count, like, in the in the contemporary era. So, it's like again these plebs are retarded they don't even know their own words that they're using.

23:25Rod Palmer So,

23:28Richard Greaser you go back and what was the question you originally asked because

23:34Rod Palmer Well, the the question is why did Aaron and Casey win Maxi Madness this year? Hello. Instead of, They won because they are

23:44Richard Greaser hot, because they they were happy to be there, because they understood the rules of Maxi Madness and they played the rules of Maxi Madness very well. I mean, probably played it as good as anybody other than Teddy Bitcoins. Now Teddy Bitcoins absolutely ran through Maxi Madness and, like, I don't think we're ever gonna see it's like the 1996

24:08Richard Greaser Chicago Bulls just completely unmatched, but there's no competition that could ever come close to, what Teddy Bitcoins did but outside of Teddy Bitcoins nobody's played this game better than Aaron and Casey did. Because they knew the rules, they understood the rules, they understood the tournament that they were a part of and they played it very very well and they they just out they outclassed everybody they face they outclassed the playoffs

24:39Richard Greaser by a wide margin and that's why they won And if the plan if Hoddle not if the puns weren't Hoddle not to win they should have voted for him they should have rallied support they still have lobbied and campaigned for him because that's all that's all Aaron and Casey did they didn't use bots they simply took they simply took it seriously and left it on the court and that's how you win there's there is no secret

25:04Richard Greaser sauce to this there's no how do I do you have to know the underground or black market bot websites down it's not how you win Maxi Madness You just have to you just have to play the game. And the planets don't the planets can't play the game because they don't know what the rules are and they don't like you said earlier, they don't even take five minutes to research anything. They just if they if they cannot map their Plebs Law mental models

25:31Richard Greaser to a new phenomena instantly, they just they just crash out. They don't they don't even try to to understand.

25:40Rod Palmer Yeah. Yeah. I mean, one of the consistent questions I've asked a lot of these grumpy plebs is why didn't you vote harder? You know, we we we saw this almost universally across the board is, you know, they're heroes. They didn't wanna show up and compete. And, you know, whether you like it or not, Maxi Madness is a incredible reflection of Bitcoin culture and the the Bitcoin ecosystem.

26:06Rod Palmer And, I I think we do a really good job of that, of selecting a lot of individuals that are very active, that, you know, have accomplished a lot, that are interesting, that are intelligent, and just, like, a wide variety of people, and they they all go up against each other, you know, and compete, and people vote for them. And,

26:29Rod Palmer you know, if anything so, I mean, this was funny last year because I what was maxi madness last year? It it was signaling that Swan didn't matter anymore. Corey

26:45Rod Palmer and Brady were crashing out constantly in my DMs, the whole Maxi Madness, after Corey refused to compete in round one and got knocked out because their arch nemesis, Teddy Bitcoins, was winning. And, you know, my response was,

27:05Rod Palmer you could compete. If you wanna be a part of Bitcoin culture, you can't just sit there and rest on your credentials and cry when other people beat you, you know, at at the game that's being played. And,

27:23Rod Palmer I think this year, with Casey and Aaron winning, it was my takeaway from it is that it's just not that compelling to cry and be grumpy all the time.

27:39Rod Palmer That's just not that's not what gets voters excited for you. That's not what gets Right.

27:45Richard Greaser The This is why Democrats lost in 2024. All they wanna do is crash out and cry about Trump this. Trump is a Nazi. Trump is racist. Trump is a convicted felon. Trump is this. Trump is that. Trump fails their purity test. Okay, we get it a politician failed your purity test and so you're gonna cry about it, but the politician who competed wanted to compete and came out and add something to say

28:15Richard Greaser had something to offer to the boaters more than just hey I'm gonna cry about this with you let's cry about this together people that people don't wake up in the morning and say I got it. I got my checklist of things I have to do today. I have to go to work. I have to go to the gym. I have to sit in traffic. I have to call my mother-in-law. I have to have an argument with my neighbor, Dale.

28:40Richard Greaser And then I have to go to the polls to vote for the politician who's crying about the same shit I'm crying about. No, they're they're going to the polls to vote for somebody who's gonna offer them something for free. Doesn't matter what that is. Casey came out, he looked hot, he smiled, and he said, listen, if you vote for me, I'm gonna turn on the turbo flag. And people said, free turbo flag. I'm voting for the free turbo flag. What did anybody else offer? They offered nothing more except for plebs lock conspiracy theories, plebs lock hate parties. People are not gonna go vote after

29:16Richard Greaser nearly getting into a fatal confrontation with their neighbor Dale over the the, you know, who's mowing the lawn on a frequent enough basis. No it's it's just they don't know how to sell their own culture because

29:35Richard Greaser and I think deep down they don't even believe in their own culture. What is there to believe in in pepslop culture? There's nothing to believe in none of those people are happy nobody in the pepslop pity party is happy. They're all miserable they're all pissed off and they're all they all hate each other and they hate everybody else and they can't even sell, they they can't even sell why anybody should care about them. All they can do is cry about the fact that nobody does care about them.

30:04Rod Palmer Yeah. I mean, one of the ways that you could have, or the, you know, in the Node region, for example, the Nazis could have, countered a lot of these other people is they they could have just been out there and said, hey. We're actually going to get BIP one ten activated. You know, vote for us, show us your support, you know, show your support for BIP one ten, and then you'll win your bets on predicts. Like, that could've totally countered

30:31Rod Palmer the, the narrative around the turtle flag. But, yeah, it's funny because they they they truly are miserable people because they they all they do is fuck a bitch. They all they do they're they're so hyper focused with just, like, bitching about what everybody else is doing and being the

30:51Rod Palmer the Plebs slot police. And,

30:56Richard Greaser and they're they're very little about Cordevs having sex. They're bitching about Casey and Aaron being hot, which means they think that they're probably having sex. Casey's an incel just like the clips, and they don't even take time to realize that.

31:10Rod Palmer Yep. But, I mean, it's just it it it's pretty astounding because, like, it you know, I I've never really, like, I think inscriptions are, like, funny and relatively

31:28Rod Palmer uninteresting, you know, because, like, I've I've I've talked to these people. Like, I when we went to spamming Vegas, which is a great experience, like, I I love Aaron and, Casey. Like, I just I I think they're some of the best Bitcoin podcasters in existence right now. They're they're very, you know, engaging and interesting to listen to. They're very intelligent. They're they're great orators. Like, they're they're just very entertaining to listen to, you know, their banter back and forth. And I think a lot of people can just learn from their

31:59Rod Palmer communication strategies, by listening to their podcast even if you don't like, you know, the ideas that they present or or who they are. I think they're the best at the the game right now. But, like, you know, I've talked to these ordinals people, and we live

32:17Rod Palmer on very different planets. You know, I I was walking around spamming Vegas. You know? I I was thinking about doing an inscription set, and I just didn't get around to it because I I had other things, to do. And I've never inscribed anything, other than, you know, using, like, the opera turn bond to say, Lynn, and Alden is hot or whatever. But, like, I was thinking about, you know, doing this, Orville's

32:45Rod Palmer Inscription collection of, all the propaganda posters from the, you know, core versus knots article I did a long time ago. And I was talking to one of the guys there and I, you know, he was telling me about his wallet that he built, well, you know, which was kind of unusual to talk to somebody at a conference talking about something that they were actually building, but that that seemed to be, you know, most of the people at the Ordinal's Conference, they were building something or another. And, he was kinda baffled

33:16Rod Palmer that I wasn't uploading or trying to inscribe, like, pictures of animals. Like, he was just very confused, by that, which just kinda shows that we live in, you know, very different, you know, perspectives and worlds. A lot of those people are a lot more fun to hang out with, even if they're a bunch of wackadoos. And, I think that There's

33:39Richard Greaser there's some there's no fads there. There's no fads in that community.

33:43Rod Palmer Oh, I'm sure there's plenty of fads.

33:46Richard Greaser Oh, I I I didn't see any. When I was when I was hanging out at the the quote unquote maximalist, where all the where all the Bitcoin only plebs were hanging out, it was absolutely full of Feds, like obvious Feds, politicians Feds, you went to Spamming Bay because I didn't see any Feds, maybe there was one or two there, I don't know,

34:08Rod Palmer but We're talking about the out of the closet Feds. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, it's but it's it listen, it's

34:18Richard Greaser anecdotal. Right down the street from each other, One expo hall was I mean, there was more feds in some of these rooms, in some of these stages

34:33Richard Greaser at the Bitcoin conference last year than there was plebs. And when you went to the ordinals it was all it was there was no Feds in sight at least visible and I there was at the Venetia there was more make America great there were more MAGA hats than than than Bitcoin hats And that's

34:54Richard Greaser that's just a snapshot but it's it's it tells you it's a sample size of that community and there was no politicians at Standing Vegas, there's no Republicans or Democrats, Very few libertarians. It's quite why it was so fun.

35:13Richard Greaser And like Katie, you talk about the Dow Money podcast. And not only they did it at podcasting and talking about things about Bitcoin, they're also relevant to, like, contemporary popular and some of these other like more popular subcultures the Planet podcast like it's

35:32Richard Greaser there is little it's so it's a it's a one it's a one dog show. It's like they've got nothing other than bitching and complaining about, you know, Bitcoin culture.

35:46Rod Palmer Yeah. The Pod podcast is bitching about something else, is bitching about how the world's broken, or is bitching about or just, you know, repeating the same old taglines of use this, you know, KYC exchange and, you know, withdrawn to this hardware wallet. And that's about, like, the extent of the analysis that you get, you know, maybe some, like, macro slop once in a while. And it's just it's it's boring, and it's

36:16Rod Palmer it's uninteresting. Like, Casey and Aaron won because they're not boring, and they are interesting at the end of the day is my my interpretation of it. And,

36:27Richard Greaser You can you can even make the interpretation that Casey and Aaron did not win as much as the clubs simply lost. It was Massey Madness was Hodlnaut or any of anybody else on that board that you wanted to root for instead of them, it was theirs to win. And instead of winning it, they just fumbled the bag.

36:50Rod Palmer I mean, I I agree with that, but I I do think it's important to give Casey and Aaron some credit because they it wasn't just more than, you know, the plebs losing. They they, you know, they they really are the pinnacle of Bitcoin culture right now

37:09Rod Palmer in a lot of ways, in my opinion. And, you know, whether whether you like them or not, they are interesting. They are engaging. They're entertaining. They're funny. Aaron's hot. Casey's really smart.

37:26Richard Greaser Casey's hot too. I mean, don't take that away from him. Casey's hotter and in better shape than 99% of the plebs you will ever meet.

37:37Rod Palmer I mean, which which fucking, you know, pleb hero in the tournament had a really hot woman, saying that she was gonna post nudes if they won?

37:53Richard Greaser Exactly. Is he none of them.

37:56Rod Palmer But,

37:57Richard Greaser There are more important things than Maxi Manis going on in the world right now. You know? I disagree,

38:04Rod Palmer but we can talk about other things. It's a just to kinda camp up this conversation, I I I think there's a lot that people can learn from. And, you know, one one of the things that was refreshing

38:18Rod Palmer refreshing through the tournament was watching, you know, the Nostr ecosystem respond and, you know, getting to see a lot of the discussion in the group chats. Like, Rev Huddl, that might have been the highlight of his entire life

38:34Rod Palmer was this week. He was having a blast. He was having a good time. He was committed to taking home the w. He took it home. Noah was having fun. Even grumpy Odell got to see a a

38:50Rod Palmer a couple smiles on his face, so he was having fun throughout the Maxi Madness. And it's just it it's not entirely that the the the whole kinda, like, 2021,

39:08Rod Palmer perspective around Bitcoin is, is grumpy. It's just that the the predominant ones on on Twitter seem to be that way. And, you know, there there are a couple people that have retired to Nostr that that seem to be having fun. And so it's it's a very different game.

39:26Richard Greaser There was a lot of grumpy people on Noster too, though. There's a lot of people crashing out and being grumpy on Noster. I don't I I wouldn't say that everybody was having fun on Noster.

39:38Rod Palmer I mean, there weren't that many. I mean, there there was a couple. There there you know, some of them, like, need creations. Like, the only reason why he was on Oster is because he's taken lent off of Twitter, which in my opinion, using Oster is essentially cheating on lent.

39:57Rod Palmer So I I I think God's pretty disappointed with the new creations. But, I don't know. I mean, did did you did you really see a bunch of grumpy people? I only saw a handful.

40:11Richard Greaser I saw way more grumpy people than I saw happy people. When I logged in, it was just like, what's this? I'm actually mad. This is the most annoying, scammy thing I've ever seen in my life. And, you know, I saw some people having fun. I saw some I absolutely, there's a lot of people having fun. But it was, I when I when I walked in, I was, like, oh, what are these guys crashing out about? And they just I I mean, Maxie Mattis, if you're on x, if you're on Twitter,

40:39Richard Greaser you probably at this point have seen it coming, but this was the first year that it was on Noster. These guys had no idea what was coming and it really, it was really, I think, overwhelming for some people. They were, they were definitely crashing out. I saw a lot of people crashing out about it.

40:56Rod Palmer Well, I understand how it could be a little bit overstimulating for people that are used to scrolling through the timeline and not seeing really much of anything, but, like, and all this stuff.

41:06Richard Greaser Yeah. A lot of new posts, a lot of people having a good time, doing more, you know, doing more than just saying good morning to each other and then and then not seeing any new posts for twenty four hours. But, yeah, it was it was a lot.

41:23Rod Palmer I mean, a huge part of the way that I think a lot of us interact with these social platforms is using group chats as well as kind of like an extension to interface with them of people sharing posts, discussing what they're seeing, shaping a broader perspective outside of the algorithm. And I saw so many people having fun in the group chats. I got so many messages

41:50Rod Palmer from people that were telling me that they signed up to predicts and, like, what their their best looks like. And, you know, a good friend of the show told me that they won, like, a 120 or something like that and felt

42:06Rod Palmer really accomplished with themselves, you know, for betting on rev huddle. Like, it's just it was Generational wealth. Yeah. Generational wealth. And, just I mean, it was mostly it was mostly the guys. It was mostly the, you know, the the people that were real good friends of, Rev Huddle that are, you know, just true pioneers. I I mean, they're they're definitely, like,

42:31Rod Palmer I don't really consider Michael Dunsworth a person, you know, at this point because he it's like he's got some he's got the equivalent of Trump derangement syndrome. So I guess I don't really count his crash out as a real crash out because it's just like, you know, when somebody tells you that Americans wanna be Australians, you're you're not a real person at that point. You have just you you Detached.

42:57Richard Greaser Detached from reality.

42:59Rod Palmer Objectively an MPC. Objectively an MPC. Like, they're so it maybe that's why I I just didn't really think much of, the crash outs, because it was, I don't know. I saw a lot of positivity. I saw a lot of people having fun.

43:19Rod Palmer It was just minus, like, you know, a couple goofballs that there's, like, one guy that lost his predict bet, and, he was a little bit grumpy, but yeah. I don't know. It's like alright. Well, guys,

43:38Rod Palmer I gotta say, I'm glad the maxi madness is over. That was a I think we're probably gonna do, like, one more episode discussing it. We're gonna interview Rev Huddl, the winner,

43:56Rod Palmer but I think we're moving on to other things. The next big thing on our horizon is gonna be Las Vegas. Are you ready for Vegas? Are you ready for the, the Sodom and Gomorrah of the PodCon Super Bowl

44:16Rod Palmer fraud?

44:18Richard Greaser I ain't as ready as I'll ever be. You can never be ready for it's gonna be a a plot of slot panacea. I think the only way that this could be crazier would be if,

44:34Richard Greaser you know, if if Bitcoin was at a 100 k, but is is gonna be out of this world, I think. I'm but I'm looking forward to it. I'm looking forward to the, you know, doing something with Pompa Key, doing something with Matt and Marty. It's gonna be fine. There'll be more details about that, but stay tuned. But if you're gonna be there, just make sure you get your tickets.

44:55Rod Palmer Yeah. I'm excited to hanging out with, a lot of the friends of the show. Not everybody's gonna be there, this year, but, there's gonna be some some good ones that I'm looking forward to hanging out with. Could be hanging out with Avi, Burrow, and Open Mic and Noah, you know, at the Noster event that we got.

45:18Rod Palmer I I'm looking forward to to twisting Marty's knobs a little bit in person. It's, like, one of my favorite things to do is,

45:27Richard Greaser I can't wait to talk about AI and Silver with Marty. Who else those things?

45:34Rod Palmer He's just he he's funny. Like, he he's a plab that found himself becoming one of the biggest Bitcoin podcasters who is a millennial that wants to be a Gen Xer. He's just he's got identity crisises top to bottom. He's so confused. I mean, it's just these these lax bros

45:58Rod Palmer are so funny. Did you ever play lacrosse growing up?

46:04Richard Greaser No. No. That was I was I was a humble player growing up. I was not a rich elitist. That's like lacrosse is for kids who grew up with a silver spin in their mouth, and that's maybe why Marty likes silver so much. He grew up with a silver spin in his mouth.

46:20Rod Palmer That makes sense. It's the it's the kids that grew up with sperrys on their feet, wearing Virginia vines. We all know Marty was that way. And we got it, like, I I think that's pretty much it for us in Vegas. I mean, there's couple events that we're gonna be going to. Probably be going to some parties. It's just, hit us up if you're going and you wanna get together with us.

46:47Rod Palmer I might do a smoking meetup. My my keynote speech is gonna be in the the parking lot smoking area. Really grateful for Bitcoin Magazine for giving me a keynote slot. Might as well have, like, a smokey meetup before and after out there.

47:08Richard Greaser Yeah. Well, I we get closer to the event. We'll have more idea of what's going on, what days. We'll be in touch. She'll be able to figure out, find us figure it out you know or if you're like Shadrach we'll find you and you'll somehow already have swag that we haven't even created yet you're already wearing it That was still one of the finest

47:30Richard Greaser situations that were, like, fine. Shadrach found us.

47:34Rod Palmer I don't know how he did it. That was pretty wild.

47:38Richard Greaser Shadrach offered you a cigarette before you even had the chance to introduce yourself.

47:43Rod Palmer Well, he walked up to me with a hat that said credential journalist on it. Like, he I mean, if he could figure out who we are without having ever met either of us, I guess that does make him

47:57Richard Greaser a good candidate for credential journalists is pretty wild. But If it was literally anybody else, I would have suspected him as a Fed. Because Shadrach is he's not he's not a Fed. Shadrach is is is the best.

48:12Rod Palmer Yeah. We had a fun night with him that night. That was,

48:16Richard Greaser Yeah. We took Shadrach to the, the Triple Elite Memes Bitcoin Fight Club event, event, the underground, like, big club fight club where need creations got his ass kicked by somebody from town. It was crazy.

48:29Rod Palmer I don't think you're supposed to talk about it, the outcome. It's like one of the rules of, TDM fight club. But, we met we met Mars there. The creations did a did a good job. I would I wouldn't say he

48:47Rod Palmer he stood his ground. You know, it's like for those who have never fought in a ring before, just gotta give props where props are due.

48:57Richard Greaser I'm let's put it this way. Necreasius is the only plan on my timeline that I see in a regular basis. I would have gotten that. I have to go and have fought, and he did it. Everybody else talks shit and then, you know, blocks or mutes when people say, hey, sign the waiver.

49:14Rod Palmer Yeah. You don't see should now be out there fighting in the I wonder, yeah, I wonder if they're gonna do another one or not. But, I don't know. I'm pretty excited. I'm I'm I'm very excited. Like, the the Ponkoff Super Bowl is just so much fun. It it it has always been the highlight

49:42Rod Palmer right here. Like, last year, spamming Vegas, hanging out with Aaron, running around with fundamentals. Yeah. There was a lot of lot of things that were pretty entertaining last year. Smoking cigarettes, listening to the,

50:01Rod Palmer Satoshi Rakimoto. They were actually pretty good. I I I figured that Satoshi Nakamoto would just be pure unadulterated plub slot music, but, like, it was they they had some pretty talented musicians in it, and, I was impressed. Like, Nico's wife, Sophie, is a very talented singer

50:22Rod Palmer from Simply Bitcoin. She blew me away.

50:27Richard Greaser She's got she's the most talented person at Simply Bitcoin, for sure. Right.

50:32Rod Palmer I agree. But yeah. So, you know, the war is going on. There you know, people are still kinda discussing whether they think BB's dead or not. If, it is confirmed that BB's dead, do you think the war stops? Like, Trump doesn't have to worry about getting killed anymore? Or what do you think the I I think Dimi's

50:51Richard Greaser talking about, like, in annexing all of South Lebanon and, like, they're, like, extending their fort, their defense posture or whatever, getting ready to invade. I don't see any navy maybe I've just been busy with Maxey Mattis, but I don't see too many people talking about BB being dead anymore. And he sounds like he's leading

51:11Richard Greaser an invasion of the IGF into, South Lebanon.

51:17Rod Palmer Him personally? He's going, like, fully Lindsey Graham front lines, Peter Todd style?

51:24Richard Greaser Yes. That's a yeah. That's possible. I don't know if he's gonna be on the front front lines, or he might be, like, behind he might be I mean, he's gonna be using some Israeli plebs as cannon fodder because that's what plebs are for. So as long as they have some plebs as cannon fodder, they're gonna use them. But, you know, if they run a cannon fodder, it could be BB on the front lines. I mean having six fingers

51:51Richard Greaser is a huge benefit to being on the front lines because you can you have your trigger finger plus more you have extra grip for aim, you could you could you could you can also smoke a cigarette more easily if you have six fingers. So, yeah, you know, I would watch out you do not want I mean if if you know anything about BB like he's not he may be old now but motherfucker is a war hero. Him and, Ehud Barak

52:19Richard Greaser the one of the other former prime ministers, those dudes have killed a lot of Muslim plebs, and they're not not let me tell you.

52:30Rod Palmer Yeah. I mean, I I I guess what's so different about the war in Israel is, you know, when you're sitting in Tel Aviv, that's essentially, like, the front lines, right, just because of proximity. Is the country so small? Like, you

52:46Richard Greaser you you look at what you're getting hit by hypersonic missiles on your flank, or you're trying to fight Hezbollah in front of you, and you haven't even left your front your front porch.

52:60Rod Palmer Like, Donald Trump's hanging out in Mar A Lago. That's very different than, you know, being in Tel Aviv on the ground. And, so props to Mike Huckabee. He's been on the, the front lines of the the war this whole time. Because he's a lot more, brave than a lot of,

53:17Richard Greaser you know, the Arab politicians. I don't know if Mike Huckabee has lost weight because he's been fighting war or if he's on Ozempic, but Mike Huckabee is looking like Mike Brock these days. He's looking quite thin, quite fit.

53:31Rod Palmer Oh, did I did I tell you that I got to chat with Mike Brock

53:35Richard Greaser last week in Twitter spaces? Yeah. Look, you told me. I don't know if you told the listeners.

53:43Rod Palmer Yeah. I have, like, a twenty minute recording of me, talking to Mike Brock a little bit, and, it was, you know, a pretty entertaining discussion as usual. It was just, you know, Mike, doing the typical glazing himself. Like, his his new,

54:01Rod Palmer evolution of crash out is he likes to, use a British accent sometimes. And

54:09Richard Greaser it's just How did he how did he respond to you calling him a subjectivist philosopher?

54:15Rod Palmer I I did I wasn't the one that called him that. That was, another guy, I forgot what his name is, like, hash browns or something like that. I think that's a great that's great framing.

54:28Richard Greaser As soon as this, as soon as we're done recording, I'm about to hop in spaces. Hash Browns is, is how soon the Sunday swerve. I'm gonna go talk to those guys.

54:39Rod Palmer I I think that's a great framing of either you're an objectivist or you're a subjectivist. It's like

54:47Richard Greaser It's true. It's the it's the philosopher binary.

54:52Rod Palmer It's like either you're, you're a maxi or you're a spammer or a shitcoin. Right? Like, there there's no nuance to it. It's very black or white. I mean, that's gonna be you know, Mike was the the first thing in the space. You know, Mike was pumping himself up about how he's planning on, demolishing Curtis Yarvin

55:15Rod Palmer in that debate. And I gotta say, is that gonna be fun to watch? You know, Mike Barack has the potential to save our democracy by demolishing Curtis Yavin Yavin.

55:32Rod Palmer Like, everything is on his shoulders right now. He he was bragging about how he he's not he he was bragging about how he's not gonna do any debate prep, that he's ready for it, that he was born ready for it. He doesn't feel like he needs to.

55:53Rod Palmer It's just it's gonna be I mean, I've never I don't think I have ever, in my entire life, been excited about conference programming at Bitcoin

56:06Rod Palmer at the club slot Super Bowl, but or Polycom Super Bowl, but that one is gonna be ground shaking. It's, like, you know

56:20Richard Greaser Yeah. I wanna miss that one for sure. It's it's going to determine today's term in the midterms actually. So if you want if you want an alpha to vote in the prediction markets for who's gonna win the midterms, just watch to see who wins between Mike Brock and Curtis Yarvin.

56:39Rod Palmer So, like, for people that don't know who Curtis Yarvin is, he's essentially like Peter Thiel, JD Vance's favorite podcaster. And,

56:53Richard Greaser I I think that if my He used to be on Twitter as Mencius Mold Bug, and he was a Twitter troll, very, very offensive, alt right, you know, adjacent, maybe a little a monarchist for sure. He's been on Peter McCormick's podcast a few times. He's recently posted pictures. He's been hanging out with Alex Soros which

57:15Richard Greaser is kind of a troll but kind of funny. But, yeah, he he is the he is the monarchist like he's not a he's not a credentialed philosopher like Mike Brachios, but he is a a very talented sophist,

57:34Richard Greaser and he he has the ears and the attention of some very prominent figures on the right and he's a sophisticated boss for like Mike even if he's not credentialed, but he has been the alter he's been Mike Brock's

57:51Richard Greaser nemesis, his op, his rival whether he knows it or not for for years now and I he's coming into this I hope he doesn't fade Mike Brock but because Mike Brock's not is not fading Curtis.

58:08Rod Palmer Well, the Mike Brock is fading Curtis, actually. That that that's what he was, saying in the Twitter spaces. But, you know Oof.

58:17Richard Greaser But he made that mistake with you, and it did not turn out well.

58:23Rod Palmer You know, it's just I don't know. It's it's gonna be, you know, fascinating to watch. I, I'm wondering if Mike Brock beats Curtis Yarvin in this debate. Like, does that mean that he you know, individuals like Peter Thiel will want Mike Brock to be their resident philosopher in the future. Well,

58:48Richard Greaser Mike Brock now does Mike Brock live every every weekday at 4PM, Eastern or I don't know. He does it at 4PM, sometimes, and if Mike Brock wins, he might Mike Brock, in the afternoon, might be sponsored by Ballantir.

59:08Rod Palmer You know, the last thing I'll say on this topic, but I I had a funny exchange with Mike where, you know, I asked him his thoughts on the Epstein list. And then he proceeded to brag about how he has more friends on the Epstein list than any of us in that Twitter space. That was his immediate reaction. But, you know, the reason why I asked him was because I tried to bring it up during the debate,

59:30Rod Palmer and, he wrote me off. But, you know, since then, he's been very vocal about discussing the Epstein list. And I you know, he was expressing his extreme shock with how serious and pervasive it it was. And I explained to him, Mike, if you'd been listening to forty hours of Bitcoin podcast years ago, you would have known about all this shit recently.

59:55Rod Palmer And, he didn't really appreciate that. He he he was he disagreed with that even though we all know it's true because we we all knew about the Epstein list a long, long time ago. Yeah. And I learned that he drives a McLaren. Or, well, he doesn't drive it, but he has a McLaren.

1:00:21Richard Greaser That was Yeah. Is it that he doesn't drive it?

1:00:25Rod Palmer He said he hasn't driven it for a long time because he like, a McLaren is not really like a daily driver.

1:00:34Richard Greaser Right?

1:00:35Rod Palmer It's like something you take out to the track. He said he hasn't had time to go to the track because, he's too busy, you know, podcasting in order to save our democracy.

1:00:47Richard Greaser Writing a lot of essays for sure.

1:00:50Rod Palmer I mean, that's that's some sacrifice if I've ever heard of sacrifice, not driving your McLaren to podcast and save our democracy. Well, folks, I guess one of the final topics I wanted to talk about is just, you know, Bitcoin's role in, protecting

1:01:10Rod Palmer our American financial privilege. And, you know, I was talking with this interesting guy, you know, that I've sort of made friends with on Twitter in the last couple years. His name is Bam. He's a Syrian guy. He has, the biggest Arabic speaking Bitcoin publication in the world,

1:01:31Rod Palmer very intelligent guy. And, one of the things that he was talking about is about how American culture drives Bitcoin culture. And,

1:01:43Rod Palmer you know, one of the things I explained to him on the on the Twitter space is the the the reason why is because as Americans, we we truly value our financial privilege. Other people around the world, you know, they don't they don't really value it. You would you know, there's lots of people that are talking about, like, Nigerian Bitcoin adoption, you know, these countries that have extreme hyperinflation where it should be pretty obvious that they should be using Bitcoin, but, you know, they don't really do it. They just don't value their financial privilege

1:02:19Rod Palmer very much. Like, it's just not something that's very important to them because they've never experienced it before. But here in The United States, we value our financial privilege, and I I think that's why Donald Trump continues to say nice things about Bitcoin even though he keeps on doing things that make the price go down.

1:02:38Richard Greaser Yeah, yeah, it's, you know, Bitcoin was invented by Jeffrey Epstein to protect Western financial privilege, and I think just because we disagree with some of Jeffrey Epstein's political

1:02:55Richard Greaser opinions doesn't mean that we should, we should fade this generational opportunity to protect protect our our Western privilege. I mean, Western financial privilege is built on on Bitcoin and

1:03:10Richard Greaser and and trafficking and you can't just because you disagree with it doesn't mean that some of those things doesn't mean you will let your privilege, slip through your fingers.

1:03:24Rod Palmer I don't think that Jeffrey Epstein created Bitcoin, and I don't appreciate you citing Aaron Day as a legitimate source on this podcast, Ron. We all know that it's Peter Todd.

1:03:36Richard Greaser Well, here's how he wrote c plus plus, I think, for sure. But he was, you know, Peter Todd when he wrote c plus plus he was, like, 14, 15 years old. Who was he doing it for? He was being trafficked by by Jeffrey Epstein.

1:03:51Rod Palmer Alright. Well, that's a roundabout way to look at it. I don't know. Alright. Well, we'll just we'll just leave this one at Yeah.

1:03:59Richard Greaser I'm just saying, just this listen. This is there's no there's no fact based evidence for this. This is pure Plevslop speculation. I'm just saying, you have to be prepared for that to be true and and you still can't sell your Bitcoin just because of that.

1:04:16Rod Palmer I'm gonna have to have Rudy Rudy Dazleworth come after you if you keep on performing this Plebslop, journalism. You're gonna you're gonna win a plebslop Pulitzer rod?

1:04:29Richard Greaser I won't put it in my trophy case.

1:04:32Rod Palmer Well, you got any other things you wanna discuss before we go to the Fallon boost?

1:04:36Richard Greaser No. Let's get to the boost.

1:04:39Rod Palmer Just gotta say, I I think the last episode that we did was, around the two year anniversary of the show. So we've been around for two years, folks. It's been an incredible journey. It's been fun. Thank you for, joining the ride with us. I didn't read our subscribers last week, which I'll make sure to do this week because, found it wasn't working.

1:05:01Richard Greaser But just it hasn't changed in, like, seven months. I think you could just record that and just play the recording over and over each week.

1:05:09Rod Palmer Well, I like to rerecord to keep it fresh. But, yeah, it's, it just takes a second. But first boost, late stage huddle, 6,000, six sats. Maxi Madness is greater than SportsBall Madness.

1:05:28Rod Palmer Yeah. You know, I'm in, like, a a good chat with my family. They keep on talking about the sports ball madness, and I have no idea what's going on. Have you have you been watching it at all? What's going on with the Fiat madness?

1:05:40Richard Greaser Oh, yeah. It's great. I love March Madness. March Madness is great. Some really good teams going to the final four. If you're a Big Ten fan, it's about to be looks like possibly three Big Ten teams, so big big year for them.

1:05:59Rod Palmer Who's in it? I assume I I keep on seeing these texts about Arizona. Illinois,

1:06:04Richard Greaser Arizona, Michigan is walloping Tennessee right now. So, this should be them and then the winner of Duke versus Yukon.

1:06:17Rod Palmer What round are they on?

1:06:19Richard Greaser This is in the Elite Eight. So Okay. Yeah. There's one game left after this Michigan, Tennessee game and it'll be, Duke versus Yukon, and then the final four will be Illinois, yeah, Arizona, Michigan, and Duke or Yukon.

1:06:38Rod Palmer Well, I'm surprised that University of Phoenix online isn't represented in the Elite Eight. They they were pretty good at at basketball when you went there. Right?

1:06:50Richard Greaser Yeah. They were incredible. Absolutely dominated the local YMCA teams.

1:06:57Rod Palmer Bitcoin University definitely wasn't invited. Do you think Bitcoin University could even get invited to the NIT?

1:07:07Richard Greaser No chance, sir. I didn't invited to anything. Yeah. 5,000 salves from Sasha Hodder. Congrats on a great Maxi Madness. Thank you, Sasha. Listen, the way

1:07:22Richard Greaser Sasha's bump and comer, I would look for Sasha in the hot bracket region next year as a potential, new blend. There's gonna be a lot of retired

1:07:33Richard Greaser Maxis, retired for Maxi Mandos next year, I think, and to make room for some some fresh blood like Sasha. So thank you for the, thank you for the boost, Sasha.

1:07:46Rod Palmer Thank you for the boost. Next boost, 4242¢ says, Pleb e a non. Do you think the Iranians are giant Steppenwolf fans? Yeah. I assume that they'll probably listen to Magic Carpet Ride when they're flying around chasing,

1:08:06Rod Palmer you know, the fighter jets.

1:08:10Richard Greaser Absolutely. Next based, Eldred Mike, 3,333 sats Maxi Madness equals a zap bull market. Yes, we got 200 or 2,800,000 boosted in Maxi Madness this year, that was

1:08:25Richard Greaser incredible, thanks for everybody who participated, definitely a zapped bull market sign that's been us trending.

1:08:33Rod Palmer Yeah, it's, I think we set the all time record, you know, for, like, a single user getting zaps on that platform at one time in a week. Like, at at one point, just at one end of the polls, the the final between Odell and Rev Huddl, there was a million sats on that single poll. There was a wide range in values

1:08:57Rod Palmer on all of the the different polls. You know, it was just kinda funny to watch. Like, you know, some people, they're resulting in, like I mean, there'd be, like, 20 votes on it or something, but it'd be, like, 2,000 to, like, a 100 sats or something like that. But, I mean, what what was just crazy is 1.2 Bitcoin traded on the previous markets.

1:09:24Rod Palmer Like, people are willing to throw around their Bitcoin. It's just about finding creative ways to to extract it. We're we're always looking for new ways to extract Bitcoin from you guys. Thank you for the boost open mic. Nope. 757 says awesome job with Maxi Madness. The crash outs were a 100.
