0:53Rod Palmer We're coming into today's recording. It's been a while since we recorded together. It's been a few weeks. Thank you for being patient with us. Richard was on tour with Scargust, and I was in Waco, Texas coaching my large adult sons and her, their junior leagues, Chee Ball tournament. Came in third place, by the way, so no celebration there, but we celebrate winning in the Palmer household. But we we come back to you. And just yesterday, the state department put out an advisory saying that things were going to possibly escalate very soon in the war in The Middle East with Iran and the Houthis who have banned brutally, petroleum, mocking Saudi Arabia Government, the Saudi Arabian oil infrastructure. They these guys are in disarray. They fucked up a pipeline

1:40Rod Palmer that was being used to divert mostly oil instead of coming up front in the Strait Of Hormuz. It was coming up the other side. The Houthis have damaged that. Europe has been cut off, but you're out of lack of supply from oil for at least the next few months. They're talking about a diesel embargo in The United States so that we cannot sell diesel to Europe or other parts of the world because they are out of it, and we need it here for our farmers. And, you know, the hill dillies that live outside the city who drive the diesel f one fifties, we need that diesel. We're in a energy crisis, and we're at peak consumerism, dark side, and these guys on space as puncher. These guys are crashing out. They're like, look at the the bond yields are higher than they've been in almost any of our lifetimes that we remember. Gas prices higher, oil higher, diesel are out, farmers, agriculture suffering.

2:32Rod Palmer This is peak AFib. The midterms are just six weeks away. Right? We have to decide who's gonna fix all these problems in congress and the senate. We got six weeks to determine. I haven't looked at PolyMarker rinse recently. It doesn't look like the republic, like, we're at peak Kayfabe. They're gonna be pouring billions of dollars into the Kayfabe on social media timelines, on your TV commercials. There's gonna be politics and psy ops and narratives

3:01Rod Palmer coming at you, like, left and right. You're gonna be dodging them like a like a like a child dodging bullets in Gaza. We're at PKFAB folks. Richard, I guess I'll open by saying how is the Scarudos tour, first of all. And what did you learn about Kayfabe

3:18Rod Palmer on the Skydos tour? And are you ready to call Keith Kayfabe, or do you think we're just warming up?

3:26Richard Greaser I'm not ready to call Pete Kayfabe, but I think I think calling Pete, it's, it's a bit early. Like, we're we're just starting to see American politicians begin to operate and act like OnlyFans models with the I I think Lauren Belvoir

3:43Richard Greaser I don't I don't know if she's up for reelection. But if she is, she just secured a reelection, with this latest leak that came out about her, having, you know, different affairs with men and women that she works with, and

4:01Richard Greaser that that got Tatum's attention. It seems like he decided to move to DC immediately following that information and

4:11Richard Greaser applied work

4:13Rod Palmer for her staff. Because I get yeah. Instead of being a chief of staff, Adem wants to be the chief of synths on Lauren Bobart's congressional staff. And if Lauren Bobart's not enough for you, Nancy Mace has she's got she's got some assets on her. So, yeah, I think the the Kayfabe is you know, it's

4:32Richard Greaser it continues to set all time highs, but it it's got a lot higher. We're we're in a Kfib bull market, and it's gonna be an extended bull market is what I would say. But the yeah. The the Scardust tour was a great time. We traveled around to a bunch of different cities, and

4:52Rod Palmer And then you sent you sent your friends, Skaradust, they had a wonderful tour. The fans enjoyed me. And then you sent them off back to the middle back to the beginning of World War three. Are they back in in the middle of The Middle East? So we got the the step alerts that is getting it's things are escalating over there. We've got World War three alert monitor accounts on X saying that World War three alerts, are forthcoming. Basically announcements of announcements, alerts of alerts. Have you talked to them since? How are they feeling? I mean, these guys are pretty these guys are pretty calloused to the Kayfabe the war Kayfabe.

5:29Rod Palmer Like, we we think of it over here, it's like it's just a big conspiracy or race crashing out saying it's this or that person's fault. They're living it over there, so they're they're a little more callous to the the war cave, Ed. Do you know how they're holding up? I hope they're holding up alright.

5:45Richard Greaser Yeah. Not sure. I'll have to check-in with them and and see. I think they've just been recovering. When you're on tour and you're dealing with time zones, it's it's quite a lot. It takes a lot out of you. So I don't know how long they'll they'll need to recover and get back on their feet, but it'll probably be a little bit. But, yeah, they they are very used to they're very used to war, I would say, or, like, experience. I I don't know if you get, like, used to it, but you get experienced with it. I I guess, like, the twentieth time that you get bombed Get jaded. You know, you get jaded by the jaded by the doom.

6:22Richard Greaser Yeah. And, like, the twentieth time you get bombed is definitely different from the first time that you get bombed. And

6:30Rod Palmer The first time the first time, you know, you're back, you're going in the bomb shelters, and you maybe even look upon fondly. It's like that's when you were were were words killed by Dennis Porter in in the bomb shelters at Tel Aviv. And now the podcasts and the and the the Bitcoin conversation in the Tel Aviv bomb shelters is probably growing a little bit derivative, a little bit stale. If it's anything like the podcast industry that, you know, we're we're kind of seeing in in the, you know, the big Bitcoin space these days.

7:01Richard Greaser Yeah. It's kind of like going to Bitcoin meetups for an extended period of time with a lack of entropy, except that you don't have, like, the you don't have the freedom to

7:15Rod Palmer choose which bomb shelter you go into. Well, there's one thing bombs do is they do increase entropy, and it seems like things are getting unpredictable because there's talk of escalation in The Middle East. There's talk of mobilization and escalation after Russian elections, which are happening right now, I think, or they just ended. With little or no opposition to Putin, but the elections nonetheless.

7:41Rod Palmer And then Ukraine just had one of the biggest I I think I read that it was the most destructive, you know, aerial assault, of Moscow since World War two, and they blew up a lot more oil rush like, Russian oil refineries. It's less oil hitting the market. It's it's prices. The the but we're like you said, we're getting into energy crisis. Things are getting testy, and now Russia is talking about secret mobilization while the European countries are talking about rapid mobilization.

8:09Rod Palmer What's going on? What do you see in the near term future there? I mean, we just got we just got Greenland from Denmark, so that's a big development there. We don't necessarily need the United States government, the United States military is not necessarily need the cooperation or the

8:31Rod Palmer ability to to work with our air the US Air Force anymore to do things in The Middle East now that we've got this permanent and, you know, we got regulatory clarity about Greenland. The United States basically gets to use Greenland however it wants, but they still have to pay taxes to the Denmark king. Yeah. We outlook on Europe. That's a pretty broad question, but break it down.

8:55Richard Greaser Well, the the way this modern war is being fought is, it seems like defensive measures from the bombing, these drone bombing, makes it essentially impossible to to mount any sort of effective defense. And so all infrastructure is just, like, out there in the open

9:15Richard Greaser to get demolished and like, this is why The US, essentially, was the winner of World War two and, you know, got all of the world's gold reserves deposited in Fort Knox,

9:29Richard Greaser supposedly, is because they geographically, it was isolated from everybody else to get blown up. And it's just like Europe Europe seems like they they wanna blow each other up again. And I think that's my forecast for that is the likelihood seems to be increasing. And we've been hearing about this, you know, for years now that

9:52Richard Greaser Russia is gonna attack NATO countries or whatever, but it it seems like the likelihood is much higher. But the thing in the in The Middle East, it it it just seems like we're we're on the precipice of false flag season. And, like, talking about, like, the kayfabe, like, the the hard thing about war, they call it the fog of war. And one of the things that's difficult about war is

10:17Richard Greaser it's hard to distinguish, like, the real information from the kayfabe because there is, you know, like, very famously, the allied countries did a lot of kayfabe, had, like, fake

10:33Richard Greaser plane or fake tanks and fields and and fobbed a bunch of military movements to confuse, the Nazis

10:45Richard Greaser before the invasion of Normandy. There there's a lot of that going on right now, and, like, one of the things that was kinda noteworthy to me was there was a discussion around Iran attacking or bombing Mecca,

11:01Rod Palmer which is the the Muslim holy site. The Houthis. The Houthis. Yeah. The Houthis launched for and this is they apparently launched five coated clogged, five coated missiles at Mecca, the holiest site for Muslim.

11:16Richard Greaser And if if there's one thing that you that you could do to unite the Muslim world against somebody is to bomb Mecca and

11:26Rod Palmer This would be like bombing the Super Bowl. This would unite Americans against you.

11:33Richard Greaser Well, this is the like, the The US was actually concerned that they were gonna lose the war on terror, that the old the whole Muslim world was gonna unite against them when South Park did that episode with Mohammed, and that's why that episode's banned.

11:50Rod Palmer Yeah. That was the neocons that may have got that banned. So I don't know if they did if they did they did hit Mecca or not, but, like, that is now that has been spoken into the k figure. So now the Houthis know that if they bomb Mecca, that it will necessarily spark an international global outrage.

12:13Rod Palmer They will they will definitely I mean, they will be the main character, on Twitter for a week if they want that, if anything. They will dig gain control of the narrative of the kayfabe. They will have everybody's attention. And I don't know if you've seen the videos on the timeline past few days, but the Yemenis are not, like,

12:34Rod Palmer rational level headed actors, at least not the ones that are see being shown on timeline. These guys are addicted to this drug, this plant that's very common in our world called khat. I think it's spelled k h a t. Some people spell it q a t. And it says plant, and there's videos of these Yemenis. They're just matte their matte their cheeks are like two chip like a bull chipmunk with two acorns in his cheeks, and then there is just they're just drooling as they just stuff this cat in their mouth. And these are they this is who this is what the the the

13:07Rod Palmer information war on our economy algorithm wants us to know about Yemen. These are irrational cat addicted radicals, and they might bomb Mecca. They might do it. And that way it is. Who knows what that would watch? I mean, Israel right now is being uncharacteristically

13:27Rod Palmer restrained, and they haven't been too involved in fighting with the Houthis. I haven't heard much about Syria, Lebanon. They seem to be abiding by whatever arms ceasefire deal that The United States and Iran has has payfaded for the past few months. But there's a huge election going on there. There's a lot of turmoil, a lot of, like, leadership continuity,

13:51Rod Palmer uncertainty going on Israel because it's not like DB may lose the election for prime minister and, like, they get you get, like, some, you know, libtard Democrat version of a Israeli president. Like, it's you've got people who are like Ben Givier, who are, you know, this is like

14:12Rod Palmer a the Andrew Tate of politicians in Israel. He's, like, super far right. Like, he doesn't think he doesn't think that the the the war efforts have gone far enough and gone hard enough. Then you've got other guys that got different views on things, but they're it's it's not a fundamentally different strategy. This is kinda like The United States. Like, we could change presidents. It's not a fundamentally different foreign policy strategy. But to highlight what's going on here, like, what

14:38Rod Palmer if if they bomb Mecca, what's next?

14:40Richard Greaser Well, I'd they I think it's, the whole Islamic world shows up

14:47Rod Palmer in Yemen. Like the end times. Sounds like the the the what's the what left behind series.

14:54Richard Greaser Well, I think the third temple has to be built in, Jerusalem before that happens, but there there are some individuals trying to to get that figured out.

15:03Rod Palmer Why? If it's, you know, we may find out that it was a sleight of hand this whole time, and the third temple in, in Israel was a data center. Are they building any data centers over there? I don't think they will be. I'm sure they

15:19Richard Greaser are. I don't think they will be anytime soon because all their infrastructure's being disrupted so much.

15:25Rod Palmer Well, alright. So, like, the whole Muslim world comes crashing in on you. That's not good. You've got the European so this is where I learned to go back to. People the Europeans like to talk down to Americans, they like to condescend

15:42Rod Palmer American culture, and they like to talk about how Americans are racist or that they don't get along and that Trump is racist, but underneath this condescending European kayfabe, Europeans are some of the most pigmented people in the world against other Europeans. They hate each other. French hate the English. The Germans hate the French. The Italians, everybody hates the Italians. The Swiss are are too tall to hate. They they but they are good bankers. The the Easter, nobody respects the Slavs. Nobody respects the Albanians, the Gypsies, the Polish. I mean, listen, the Polwaks.

16:19Rod Palmer There's there's a whole genre of jokes about dumb Polish people are. You know, wrote them? Europeans. The Spaniards, the Portuguese, they don't like each other. These guys are just waiting to, you know, to just to twist each other's nipples at the very least. And, like, to throw this all in the mix of it, you've got all these immigrants, and you've got the immigration problem. The Irish and the and the the the Scottish and the Welsh, they're rooting to separate from The United Kingdom over, among other things, problems with

16:50Rod Palmer and you got, like, the soccer players. There's controversy last week of Ombate, and some of those other guys would not wear jerseys, you know, that were mentioning, I think it's Quetta, or the immigration problem is, like, coming to a head in Europe. Europe is is is just boiling over, and the only thing I think keeping Europe

17:10Rod Palmer from exploding, pun intended, is low interest rates. Once these guys have non zero interest rates, I think it's over for Europe. They're already out of diesel. It's why do you think these guys are have been able to hold in their hatred for each other for so long in this European Union?

17:28Richard Greaser Well, I mean, they just had the the wheels glazed by, by Fiat.

17:32Rod Palmer Basically, we we we've been Greece, so we've been given them free health care so we could have b two bombers, and they can't?

17:40Richard Greaser Well, I mean, that's part of it, but it's also things like Netflix and you know? I mean, you you gotta have some, like, compelling, sedatives of sorts to to live in a region that doesn't have air conditioning in the summer, and their favorite sport, small, is soccer.

17:59Rod Palmer But yeah. Let's let's touch on this real quick. Not only do they not have air conditioning, the average European doesn't think they deserve air conditioning. They don't want it. They are they reject it. Like, that is that is a psychology that's kinda hard to come. Every human being self respect believes they deserve air conditioning.

18:20Rod Palmer Even Kami Mandani promises free air conditioning on the free buses in New York City. Even the commies in New York City believe in free what's wrong with these they don't even believe they deserve it.

18:32Richard Greaser Yeah. I don't know. The the European mindset is what I've been confused about my whole life. I mean, it's just very simple. It's just like a weaker gene pool compared to Americans. They're they're the descendants of the people that failed to to come to the new world.

18:48Rod Palmer But did you see this week as well, Mark Carney, the Canadian prime minister, said that Canada was thinking about leaving, like, the, you know, North American economic alliance, whatever, and they they were gonna go join the European Union. So you think look at all these problems with the European Union, and you look at this psychology, the dummy man air conditioning, and the Canadians would rather, instead of vote for independence, maybe join the fifty first state, they'd rather go

19:19Rod Palmer be a part of the EU.

19:21Richard Greaser I mean, this could be a growing trend of the future, which is are you familiar with the concepts of the network state?

19:30Rod Palmer Yes. Very familiar. Are you talking about, Balaji? Yeah. Is a yeah. Yeah. Talk about that.

19:37Richard Greaser Well, so if you if you pay attention to, like, college of Portugal, for example, there's been a reshuffling over the years of all of these divisions, which used to be represented by geography. And it seems like a lot of these alliances and, trade relationships seem to be less dependent on

19:60Richard Greaser geography and close proximity. And so, like, Canada joining the European Union would be similar to Oregon and Washington joining the big 10 in the college sports ball world. And, you know, we we've also seen this with, like, groups like the Meshedale, which in in many ways, it in effect,

20:25Richard Greaser has some similarities to this idea of a network state of individuals that are or or the what Rayo's built with the with Tanzania, where you have these collaborations or associations between individuals

20:44Richard Greaser that they they kinda derive a group by identity, but they might not be geographically located together.

20:52Rod Palmer Yeah. Yeah. That is what, yeah, a lot of Bitcoiners are still trying to build. I think you see a lot of those patterns. And it's happening with, like, alliances

21:06Rod Palmer around just pretty standard ethos. Right? You got, like, the the right wing Canadians. Like, there there's this effort, this energy to declare independence or to join The United States or to just be aligned more with The United States. And there's movements that are, like, in the country that are just abhorrently against that. And, like, same with Europe. Right? You've got

21:28Rod Palmer Hungary, and you've got a very based, like, leader in Hungary. The the guy who was in charge there, I can't remember his name at the moment. Viktor Orban. Viktor Orban. Right? He but he'd lost it. But he didn't lose, like, again, he didn't lose some litard. He lost to a younger guy who's a little bit he's, like, less corrupt. He's, like, a Gorbachev's, like, Trump, incredibly corrupt. There's no escaping the corruption. The young guy doesn't have enough history to be considered corrupt yet, and he's but he's still based. He still hates the Russians. He still hates the immigrants. Whatever. What what the people want there? And there's alliances within our deep state and their deep state. There's alliances between the, you know,

22:05Rod Palmer one story we're very familiar with is the Israeli and the the Zionist in the United States government and in the diaspora that support Israel at all costs in in in government. And there's people against, of course, that are very much against that. The South, South America, Latin America, the the fascist elements there seem to be aligned, like Donald Trump and, his sons

22:27Rod Palmer are pretty good friends at Giclee. And some of these guys and, the guy down in in Argentina, He he loves Israel. He loves Trump. He loves free markets. They're kind of aligning, and they're sharing you know, a lot of these guys have are orange billing each other and sending each other Bitcoin wallets and nodes, and they're sending Bitcoin back and forth to each other.

22:49Rod Palmer It's it's it's growing in popularity. Your geography doesn't necessarily define your alliance to a particular state or government system or whatever, and these are, like, becoming more influential and more powerful. Do you think it is smart right now to be aligning if you're Canadian? Do you live in Toronto

23:09Rod Palmer to be aligning with Paris and London? Those damn Londoners and or, you know, is it probably smarter for Toronto to be friends with Mondani in New York or whoever? Seems like people are making strange decisions.

23:25Richard Greaser Well, I mean, it kinda makes sense with the how rapid the demographic changes in Canada have been as well as Europe. Like, in in London, I believe, Mohammed was the most popular male name 2025. And I don't know. There's been a lot of changes, but,

23:45Richard Greaser so I guess I know a lot of the okay.

23:49Rod Palmer Mom Donnie, like, there's gonna be, like, US mayors and stuff that are, like, they're gonna be friends with mom Donnie. It's gonna be Zara and mom Donnie and, like, whoever from Chicago or I don't think maybe likes that guy, though. But Tom Donny and these other mayors, it's, it's gonna be like, it's gonna be like a social oh, who's web of trust? Whose social graph on X and Facebook and Instagram? These network states are gonna kind of like develop around these social graphs, these macro social graphs. And and that would be interesting to to watch that play out. But the the all this comes down to

24:24Rod Palmer AI. Right? Like, AI is the gambit that most of China, Asia, The Middle East,

24:34Rod Palmer United States, I don't know so much about Canada or Europe. They don't seem to be huge on the data centers. But AI, like, who controls AI? Who's sharing their models and their guardrails, etcetera, with, like, who's working, cooperating together with the energy infrastructure and the AI, and who's gonna be left behind? How do you see that unfolding? Do you see a pattern coming together yet with with the new AI led

25:01Rod Palmer network states evolve around?

25:03Richard Greaser Well, I I think, like, the most competitive network states are gonna be I mean, essentially what a network state is turning out to be, what you're describing is, you know, people are aligning based on the group chats that they're in.

25:18Rod Palmer Circular economies.

25:19Richard Greaser Yeah. They're creating group group chats, circular economies, and it's kinda their their friend group of, you know, where they organize, how they organize things. And, like, a big part of having I think it'd probably be prudent for us to talk about strategies

25:39Richard Greaser in the first turning to have the most effective group chats. And and one of the big ones is figuring out a way to mitigate AI psychosis. And there's some real questions, some real problems with AI psychosis. It's becoming much more apparent that people are falling for this. I I mean, there's the the the power that these frontier

26:01Richard Greaser AI model companies have over the minds of individuals is pretty pretty wild. And, I mean, there's a there's a very real possibility that, you know, somebody like Mark Carney is just sitting there talking to Chad CBT,

26:18Richard Greaser getting glazed, and that's, like, how he's coming up with his decisions. And, I think it's important to to see that. And, like, if if your leaders are gonna be making decisions based on AI psychosis, like, you need the AI to be

26:36Richard Greaser really good at directing them. And and this is one of the questions that I think most of us have, which is what are the intentions? Like, is the is the spirit of Moloch sitting behind the the model that you're using, directing people towards destruction, or

26:55Richard Greaser is there something a little bit less malicious directing it, or is it just a machine? And I don't know. I I I think we need to do some more discovery and and and see how it plays out, and hopefully, we we survive it.

27:10Rod Palmer Yeah. It's it's gonna be tough. The the AI boom and the doom AI doom. So Timmy Teller covered this very well on his fashion report, but the AI doom is is coming out. Like, that it's gonna kill us all. AI's gonna kill us. It's it's gonna exterminate us. The 10% chance, the AI safety people are coming out. Now some people like Tim Dillon talked about this. He's basically and it's very similar to what Timmy Tather said. Like, there's no stopping this AI. These guys

27:43Rod Palmer are have an incredible amount of power. These institutions have an incredible amount of power, incredible amount of money. They can't be regulated. Government is just not government is is not equipped to handle the incredible technology and, like, the the really the incredible pace that it grows.

28:01Rod Palmer It's just government operates and grows linearly. Like, this stuff is growing exponentially. They can't protect you. So it's it's it's gonna be very murky, but, like, gray area where the real authority and power and control

28:18Rod Palmer so I can add it. So that'd be so obvious that the US military and the US government or the banking system, etcetera, like, has all this authority. It's gonna be a lot more like who pulls the levers at some of these institutions and who's who's on the side of the AI oligarchs.

28:36Rod Palmer Go ahead. The while that's, like, while that's happening, you're gonna have these questions of, like, what's right or wrong? Like, am I gonna get in trouble for this? Is it is this gonna be something that, like, fundamentally you're gonna have to know in your gut and make those decisions be accountable, which is another thing that the US government and just our society in general is not designed for because everything has been built and very carefully designed by Jewish lawyers so that nobody faces accountability. Corporations nobody at a corporation

29:11Rod Palmer can really face any accountability financially if the corporation goes bankrupt unless they did some very obvious fraud. Nobody in government can be held responsible individually for the the economic results of of some of the decisions. And,

29:29Rod Palmer ultimately, it's using this leveraging this AI is how you succeed. Where the Trump administration made a huge mistake is they it seems like they had hacked Iran a few months too early because if you you talked about, like, is Mark Carney making these decisions because he's getting glazed by JATCPT. Yes. But we were getting glazed by JATCPT.

29:52Rod Palmer We they JATCPT or Claude, whichever one, had the Department of War convinced that they were this Blitzkrieg bombing campaign was gonna kill the Ayatollah, destroy their infrastructure, and that it was, like, gonna be over. That The United States was going to have won this war more as quickly and easily as they they stole the guy out of Venezuela, Maduro. And it has turned out to get us in this giant quagmire where now the World War three alert accounts are are posting alerts and alerts. Did

30:23Rod Palmer did they just attack too early in their AI psychosis? And can can Fable and Mythos and some of these AI advancements get us out of it?

30:34Richard Greaser It's I don't know if they could get us out of it, but, yeah, I mean, they they attacked before the the release of Mythos, which could have been a serious issue. And I I think what's becoming very clear based on my discussions with Rob Hamilton is that having other models like Kimmy

30:56Richard Greaser three acting as a sanity check and or counterbalance on information could be useful in these scenarios, whereas

31:09Richard Greaser some of the frontier models are known to be very skewed and and sandboxed. And, you know, I don't know if you remember this, Rod, but, like, right before the war really kicked off, like, the US military was screaming and anthropic. And they're like, oh, we're just gonna we're just gonna switch everything to chat CBT because you won't give us unlimited control like we want. And

31:34Richard Greaser I don't think really any of us know what what the contents of that discussion were, what the issues were.

31:43Rod Palmer Oh, we know Google wasn't gonna be the, solution that the US government went with. Those guys really fumbled the AI bag.

31:50Richard Greaser Well, I mean, I think one of the regardless of which tool they're gonna do, they're they're gonna take turns, like, cycling through and and subsidizing all of them and, at some point. But, yeah, there there's a lot of doomerism

32:06Richard Greaser in the air. There's a lot of narratives that that seem to be feeding into people's justification to entertain doomerism. And I think one of the important things to be doing is if you're if you're getting into the doomerism

32:24Richard Greaser mentality, figuring out an effective way to respond. And, one of those ways to effectively respond is, like, you know, for example, if you think AI is gonna be the end of everything and it's gonna culminate in, like, a Terminator style Los Angeles 2030 situation, why aren't you in the gym getting ripped, getting ready to go fight some robots? Why are you sitting around growing a tally,

32:51Richard Greaser sitting on Twitter spaces listening to boomers? If you think there's gonna be a food crisis, why aren't you actively figuring out how to mitigate that for you and your family?

33:02Rod Palmer And if you're like, you know, some of our listeners like myself who are just sick and tired of the Doomer Boomers and their, little chicken little crash outs, the best way to respond to these guys from now on is

33:18Rod Palmer it's a little meme you've seen us post on on on on Twitter. We know. The future looks bleak. We know. What are you what is your solution? You know what I mean? Like, you you hit them with a few we knows, and you you're probably gonna annoy them. You're probably gonna get them all worked up and get they're they're gonna crash out, but they're already crashing up. And they come to you and they say, Hey, listen.

33:41Rod Palmer I was I didn't I didn't wanna get in a fight with you. You're my favorite nephew, but you you gotta understand it's bleak out there. Did you see the the Japanese JGB yields? The yen carry trade is unwinding as we speak. You just say, we know. I know. You know. We all know. We wanna talk about Gaza. We wanna talk about the Palestinians. The Gaza situation was a horrible situation. We know.

34:06Rod Palmer But what do you why are we talking about it at Thanksgiving? What do you we we we have a very little bit of amount of time with each other. We should be, enjoying each other's company. We should be remarking on our mosquito bites that we got this summer while we were out taking personal responsibility for ourselves. We should be talking about how hard it is to make our fucking kids go to sleep and sleep through the night and why we're tired as brand new parents and and in in a job, we should be talking about good memories with each other. We should be enjoying each other's company. Why are we talking about how bad it is and this the how bleak the future is with AI data centers and and 10 yields of gas prices? We know. So if you don't have a solution, if you don't have, you know, hey. I've been going to this new gym. I've been doing Krav Maga, jiu jitsu. I you should learn self defense. You wanna go with me at the gun range later. Do you wanna go to church and have a reason to feel hopeful?

34:58Rod Palmer Unless you've got a unless you've got something like that, I don't care about your doom bullshit. We know the future is bleak. We know bad things are happening. We know. Well said. Speaking of things oh, go ahead. Go ahead.

35:12Richard Greaser I just think it's important to tease people who aren't ready for the first turn in yet. First turn is counting whether you are ready for it or not. So

35:20Rod Palmer stop talking about everything everybody already knows and do something about it. The speaking of of things we already know, I mean, we we don't we don't gotta cover this very deeply. But the plebs the Blake plebs have forked again. They have forked their Bitcoin Dash Junior again. They're now cutting off

35:39Rod Palmer miner rewards. You gotta wait months, a year to get your minor rewards. They don't want people mining who are in it for, the profit or the revenue. They want only people who are ideological, who care enough about central or decentralization. So it's this is this is a curious spiral. We've seen it. We knew it was coming. We we're not paying that much attention to it anymore, but it's just another example of think prey to the doomer narrative, to putting it catch your ear and and and being too dying in too much into the doomer kayfabe. It's it's just gonna keep happening. And it's and those are it's it's it was it don't tell me it was embarrassing.

36:18Rod Palmer Then rather than admit that, a lot of people are doubling down into this purity spiral, so they don't have to confront the realization that, you know, what they thought was gonna happen was wrong. And this is gonna there's gonna be a lot more pitfalls on the road to the first turning along the way that are bigger and less obvious than Plebslot.

36:39Rod Palmer And you have to be able to identify have the self awareness to realize when you're on the wrong path, you're on the wrong fork, you're on the wrong node, whatever it is you're doing is ineffective and just it it it's a warp. You have to be able to learn to recognize that in yourself, in your actions, in your behaviors before you, you know, end up blowing all your life savings on plug slot. And you you get stuck in these purity spirals. You have to be able to admit you're wrong and just correct. That's fine. There's nothing wrong with that. But there's gonna be a lot more a lot more pitfalls and and potholes along the road that are that are gonna be worse than this. You just have to avoid them. But if we if you if you avoided the point then,

37:22Rod Palmer congratulations. There's gonna be a lot more common though, so you need to keep your eyes peeled and phased forward.

37:28Richard Greaser It's it's really one of the challenges in the modern age because I I I think in at least anything Bitcoin adjacent is kind of reported to be online right now because, like, pretty much every service or or do data that you could be using right now might have a vulnerability. And it it seems like there's there's certain platforms or ecosystems in which, you know, a lot of the comms happen on that it's important to be paying attention to. But being on those platforms can also lead to

37:60Richard Greaser being led in a very poor direction. Like, many many people that that got excited to mine, Blightcoin, they may have paid money to purchase equipment just to be told that

38:16Richard Greaser them trying to advantageously mine is is wrong or evil, and they're gonna be punished for it. There's just there there is so much potential nonsense. I mean, you could be out there looking for a vulnerability and then you see a like, a big Bitcoin, like, chick with their tits post, you know, and that might derail

38:37Rod Palmer you for a little bit. Well, that's that brings me to another victim of the kayfabe is it a lot of people are pointing the finger and saying that women are crashing out about Sydney Sweeney's boobs, and that's true. Women do be crashing out about Sydney Sweeney's boobs, and they need to calm down. But men are doing it too. Every time somebody says Sydney Sweeney's hot, has nice big boobs, there's always some fucking plaid, ditch shit, and the coroner's like, hey. Have you seen this picture of Sydney Sweeney without her makeup on? Yeah. We know. Well, nobody cares about Sydney Sweeney for her her beautiful facial structure. But, like, right now,

39:15Rod Palmer there's just so much going on. There's so many things to be preparing for, to be reacting to, to be paying attention, to to be monitoring for the good of your family, for the good of your money, for the good of your business, for the good of your travel plans, whatever. Crashing out about City Swings, Boobs is just the the last thing that anybody wants to hear. Nobody. No. I mean, nobody wants to hear your opinion about how Sydney Sweeney's boobs are problematic. Even women like to look at Sydney Sweeney's boobs. They're they're beautiful boobs. They're a gift from gods, the gods of god, whichever one you follow.

39:50Rod Palmer So if you are, for whatever reason, on an algorithm or a path in life that makes you spike your cortisol and wanna crash out when you see Sydney Sweeney's boobs, Sign of course correct.

40:07Richard Greaser I don't know. I think Sydney Sweeney's boobs are are pop soft boobs.

40:11Rod Palmer That's fine. You're not crashing out about it. Yeah. You don't have to you don't have to don't have to be your favorite boobs. Some people will say to me, Rod, the only boobs that I love are my wife's boobs, and that is a good healthy opinion to have. But, you know, and just enjoy your wife's boobs. You don't have to crash out about Sydney Sweeney's boobs

40:33Rod Palmer for your wife's boobs to be special. If your wife's boobs are any already special to you, you need to look in the mirror. It's not City Sweeney's fault.

40:41Richard Greaser We're not too far out from the holidays. They're gonna come upon us very, very quickly, and there's gonna be a lot of crash outs

40:53Richard Greaser around the the family Thanksgiving table. There should be a lot of crash out to Christmas. We don't know what the what the world like, how far the cafe is gonna spiral out of control. And, I think it's a good time to start start planning strategies for

41:12Richard Greaser how to conduct conversations around the family table.

41:16Rod Palmer We've already told we've already told the one of the annoying cousins that if you can't leave, it's police guy, Kayfabe, at Elm this year. He's not invited to Thanksgiving.

41:26Richard Greaser Yeah. I I think people just, like, want to talk about, I don't know, maybe things like the the latest the latest bread and circuses. Those are probably safer topics to discuss.

41:39Rod Palmer Yeah. Go. Your family my your my your family is gonna be relieved and thankful that all you wanna talk about is bread and circuses, and that's fine. If you if you can talk about anything except for doom or stuff, just just focus on the bread and circuses.

41:55Richard Greaser Well, I I I think the last thing that most Bitcoin interested individuals want to do is talk about Bitcoin with their family members right now. They're no coin or family members.

42:07Rod Palmer But a lot of Bitcoiners don't wanna talk about Bitcoin with their family members either about these prices. Seize is a reason to talk about something else. Hopefully not in Oster. Your family members still wanna talk nobody wants to talk about Oster.

42:22Richard Greaser Yeah. I don't know. There's probably other interests out there that that people could focus on that might have overlap and and be interested, that they can discuss with their families. And it it'll be good to I I think it'd be good for us to, you know,

42:43Richard Greaser explore those, types of topics like, you know, cooking recipes, that's a good one. That's a really neutral topic.

42:52Rod Palmer Don't don't don't watch the American Huddle cooking podcast though. Meet your family. That's not a good one. If you, it's a good one if you wanna watch it, but don't, don't make your family watch it.

43:09Richard Greaser Good to know. Has has kayfabe I don't think kayfabe has really gotten into the, cooking world too bad. I guess they have those, like, reality TV shows where

43:22Rod Palmer they Kfabe, kayfabe cookie shows are are are it's like a billion dollar industry Okay. That's all that's all those shows are

43:35Richard Greaser I no. Yeah. You're right. There there's a lot of cafe even cooking. I guess it's like the Cutthroat Kitchen,

43:41Rod Palmer the who's the chef who's always, like, just screaming cuss words at people telling that their fucking their cake sucks, the Great American Bake Off, or, like, the Great British Bake Off, I think is what it's called.

43:54Richard Greaser I I don't know. I haven't watched any Gordon Ramsay? I don't know.

43:58Rod Palmer Yeah. Gordon Ramsay. And he had, it was the there was the there was one, the old lady chef, and she got canceled for saying the n word. Judge Judy? Her too. She's not a cook though.

44:19Richard Greaser She was always cooking one liners on the,

44:24Rod Palmer in the courtroom. We're talking about Paula Deen, Paula Deen was the racist cook lady. Absolutely, don't be a pleb- you know, don't be a pleb- about Paula Deen.

44:38Richard Greaser Before we wrap this one up, we we even talked about and thinking about doing some, change ups to the content that we're doing, and so we're exploring that. You have been working on a new show, Rod, called, Pardon the Kayfabe.

44:56Rod Palmer Yeah. Yeah. We're I'm gonna still forthcoming on the first episode. I would anticipate sometime next month. Pardon my k fave, just gonna be a new week to show with me.

45:09Rod Palmer It's gonna be, it's gonna be more video based. It's what's gonna be on YouTube. We're gonna be we're gonna bring it to, Apple Apple Podcasts. It's gonna be distributed everywhere, maybe on maybe on some stack if it takes off. You can, you can subscribe for

45:29Rod Palmer additional, mostly. Well, it just depends on how it goes. But, yeah, part of my k fibs coming. We're gonna we're just gonna be expanding the content, and value that we provide and expanding the platforms on which, it is

45:45Rod Palmer able to be consumed and, you know, very frankly, monetized. So just look for that. We don't pardon my k faves come up. I'm really excited about it. I if you know anything about me, you follow me on social media. There will be plenty of advertising and promotion, and and information about where you can find pardon my kayfabe.

46:06Rod Palmer But, yeah, just just look for that. Expect that. Expect more content, different content. We're still gonna be doing stuff together. We're gonna be doing stuff separate, we've already been doing that, but it's just gonna be expanded, and I think it's gonna be refreshed and, better suited for World War three. You know, we're gonna we're gonna be posting and podcasting, and according to World War three and this transition of the fourth to the first turning. So I'm excited about it and just follow,

46:36Rod Palmer until we know more, till those new first steps that are is live. As the world changes, we have to evolve

46:42Richard Greaser with it. So I think there's a lot to be excited about coming forward with the content for the people. You got any other, things you wanna discuss, before we wrap this one up? If there's doomers in your replies, doomers in your ear, doomers

46:57Rod Palmer in group chat,

46:58Richard Greaser just let them know. We know. Thank you, folks, for listening to this edition of the Beacon Weekly, and we'll catch you soon. Partner the rodeos in town.

49:49Rod Palmer When the crowd

49:50Richard Greaser erupts at Thanksgiving dinner, they'll all know the Bitcoin podcaster is the winner.

50:01Rod Palmer We're digital.

50:04Richard Greaser We got one horse. We got one horse.
