Transcript: Is This The God Candle | Bugle Weekly Episode 49

0:08Richard Greaser Welcome back to Plebs on Parade, the show where every pleb is a potential philosopher. I'm your host, Timmy Tether. And today, we're talking to plebs about the strategic crypto reserve. Is it good? Is it bad? What do plebs think? Let's find out. It's Timmy Tether again here in Farmington Hills, Michigan. Before we meet our first pleb, I wanna take a moment to tell you about our sponsor, the Ungovernable Misfits. They are more than just an ungovernable podcast or a platform. They are a movement. The Misfits brand is for plebs who dare to imagine a world where autonomy, privacy, and self sufficiency reign supreme. To learn more, visit ungovernablemisfits.com and look for their podcast on Fountain FM. Now back to the show. We're talking to Bobby from Nashville.

0:47Richard Greaser Bobby, what do you think about Trump's announcement regarding the strategic crypto reserve? Do you believe a sovereign nation should diversify its meme coin reserve or stick to wrapped Bitcoin only? The Bitcoin strategic reserve of America is each household stacking Bitcoin.

1:01Rod Palmer Not stacking Bitcoin for themselves, but for their children's children. Time horizons that extend upon the next 20 elections to extend the American dynasty another two hundred fifty years. The US dollar is slowly dying. Plebs, plumbers, doctors, AI models, lawyers, and Bitcoin insurance company entrepreneurs who are the backbone of this nation will make it great again through this act of selfless thermodynamic preservation of time. And the shitcoiners who do the dirty work wrapping our Bitcoin

1:28Richard Greaser will be securing their bloodlines for another millennia as well. Alright. Thank you. Bobby from Nashville. Bobby thinks the real strategic reserve is all the Bitcoin being saved by private citizens secured by a diverse variety of hardware wallets until the federal government needs to issue an executive order six one zero two to seize it in order to pay its taxes. Our next pleb is Seymour from Laramie, Wyoming. Seymour, what are your thoughts on the strategic crypto reserve? Good? Bad? Missing a privacy coin? Go. Timmy Tether.

1:56Seymour from Laramie, Wyoming The only complaint I have with this strategic reserve idea is they want to include XRP. If we are going to throw away taxpayer dollars and get nothing in return, we should just keep sending billions to Zelensky. Or better yet, just send it directly to his drug dealer. At least that's better than blowing it on a centralized shitcoin.

2:14Richard Greaser Thank you, Seymour from Wyoming. Seymour says we might as well keep funding Ukraine instead of buying XRP for the strategic reserve. Seymour, I'm not sure the suits in Washington even realize once they buy Ripple, the first 20 are America's forever, whether they want them or not because they can't be sold. Look it up. Alright. Our last pleb is Terrence from Pasadena, California. Terrence, we're running out of time so quickly. What are your thoughts on the strategic reserve?

2:36Terrence from Pasadena, California Timmy, all of this is David Beatty and Shinobi's fault. Ordinance magazine scammers have been poisoning the mind of the presidential administration, and it's only going to hurt the global south. Do they care? No.

2:52Richard Greaser ShitCoin magazine makes me so mad. Okay. That was Terrence from Pasadena. Terrence has David Bailey derangement syndrome and blames this all on and I quote, Shitcoin magazine. It sounds like a personal beef, but folks, that doesn't mean he's wrong. That's all for this week, folks. I'm your host, Timmy Tether. Thanks for watching Plebs on Parade.

3:14Richard Greaser And now a few words

3:18Terrence from Pasadena, California from pastor Jeffs. The Lord has called on you to be faithful. For those who trusted in him during these dark times over the last week when Bitcoin dropped below $80,000, your faith is about to be rewarded. Last night, the Lord gave me a vision of what is yet to come. In my sleep, he lifted me up and before me was a sea of Solana meme coins. All those meme coins were pumping.

3:49Terrence from Pasadena, California Not only that, other alt coins with a lot of potential were also pumping. Then president Trump flew down in his air force one, spraying the meme coins with chemtrails to make them pump even more. The Lord showed me that everything in the world is a meme coin. If you believe the meme, you will have everlasting life.

4:13Terrence from Pasadena, California Our father in heaven has ordained the God candle. While you don't know how many hairs are on your head, the Lord knew the exact moment of the pump before the universe even existed. He has tested your patience. He has separated the chaff from wheat. Before there was light and there was land, the lord had a meme. And over a period of seven days, he turned that meme into reality.

4:42Terrence from Pasadena, California In his own image, God created man. In his own image, man are also memers. Put your faith in the Lord for he only pumps and never dumps. Let us pray. Dear father in heaven, we never lost faith in you.

4:60Terrence from Pasadena, California We knew that you would bring the god candle and deliver us from being unable to pay our taxes just like you delivered the Israelites from slavery in Egypt. You gave them Moses to lead them out of the wilderness, and now you give us president Donald Trump. Give us strength to Meme just like you, Meme. Help us to help teach others your good news.

5:23Terrence from Pasadena, California I pray these things in your name. Amen. Now people go out into the world with this good news and meme. The Lord has commanded you to meme. So stand tall and spread the good news. May the Lord bless you and keep you. Now I have to hurry home from church to watch the end of the sports ball game I bet on. See you all next week.

5:50Richard Greaser Welcome back to the Google. We're recording this on March 2, Sunday afternoon. This morning, Trump responded to the North Korea, story about the Bybit hack Bybit hack and all the headlines of North Korea's dominating on chain prowess

6:07Richard Greaser and all the, news about their Bitcoin reserve being, grown even further and responds by posting about America's strategic Bitcoin reserve, which sparked a god candle.

6:23Richard Greaser We haven't seen a god candle, I don't believe, in 2025 yet. Sparks a god candle and it, was so impressive that Peter Schiff actually has capitulated and admitted that Bitcoin is digital gold.

6:39Richard Greaser The tweet also served as a function of giving clemency a last second stay of execution for the Sheitcoin Ethereum, which was set to be put down after a pathetic showing in East Denver and all that much more. It's been a huge week. Richard, how are you doing? Are you bullish? I mean, we just had a God candle, but I think right now, predators bearish. Other people are bearish. Shinobi is bearish. Or are people still in shock and disbelief?

7:11Rod Palmer Well, if Shinobi wasn't bearish, would it even be a sundae?

7:15Richard Greaser That's true. I- You know what else is bearish? Sly Goomba. We can get into that though.

7:21Rod Palmer Well, that one I'm a little bit concerned about. If Sly is bearish, Sly has a little bit more signal than some of the other people sometimes. Shinobi doesn't even have a podcast. I mean, how much can you trust a guy's information who doesn't have a podcast and actually considers Twitter spaces a legitimate medium to communicate ideas about Bitcoin?

7:45Rod Palmer But is it premature to call it a God candle? I know Samson Mao was out there tweeting about the God candle. The price has ripped a little bit. It's it's up what over 10,000 USDT?

7:58Richard Greaser Yeah. Yeah. Well, here's the thing. We've talked about this. It's beating a dead horse, but until we receive additional regulatory clarity about what constitutes

8:13Richard Greaser a God candle, this is very similar to the situation we had. Well, I think it was a year and a half ago. The economy officially, had met the definition to be, you know, which was two consecutive financial quarters of negative growth, but that was no longer the definition of a recession.

8:34Richard Greaser And they did not provide regulatory clarity about that. But it was kind of just swept under the rug. Memory hold, if you will. And that's what we're kind of sitting at now. Up until this point, a 10% daily candle was considered

8:51Richard Greaser to qualify for being a God candle. So until, like I said, until further the word comes out, I think we have to, as journalists, follow the guidelines and report this as being a God candle.

9:05Rod Palmer Well, I think the night So, the nice thing about being a journalist, like the reason why you go to journalist school and you get credentialed in the first place is one of the privileges of being a journalist is you actually get to create definitions of words yourself. So, one of the things that you're discussing is the media has changed the definition of recession kind of as to what's convenient to them and their corporate backers. And we have the opportunity to do that as well.

9:35Rod Palmer And I would say this is not the God candle. And there's a few reasons why we can't settle for this being the God candle. One of the reasons is we can't let Trump think that we're satisfied by this, right? Right, right. We need to push him to pump it more. And also,

9:58Rod Palmer we've been pricing Bitcoin differently than this cycle than before. We're not talking about these like, small achievements like a 100 k Bitcoin. We're talking about 2,000,000,000,000 USDT a coin. We've already hit the 100 k. Like, that's that's an insignificant number now. We have to be thinking bigger. And so I would I would say, like the real God candle is probably an amount like

10:25Rod Palmer at least a million USDT increase in a day.

10:30Richard Greaser Yeah. Well, I do agree with you and I think that it's important that, you know, kind of keep accelerating exponentially the amount that is considered a God candle. We should not settle as taxpayers, especially taxpayers should not settle for a 10% being a God candle in 2025. So, but here, but the where I, the way I feel about it is that the incentives here

10:59Richard Greaser naturally are the solution themselves Because Donald Trump woke up this morning and he, you know, he's been dealing with a very stressful, very, you know, new criticism and and controversy past few days after the, meltdown

11:20Richard Greaser that, Vladimir Zelensky disrespected Donald Trump and did not tell him good morning. He did not, say thank you. He did not have an explanation for for where his money, has been going and he did not accept the minerals deal and he was very disrespect. He's just very disrespectful and it was very, you know, people are saying that Trump is, you

11:44Richard Greaser know, unable to control this little third world, you know, dictator. But he be what he learned this morning is that he has the power with one tweet to create a God candle in Bitcoin. And that completely changes

12:02Richard Greaser the trending, you know, the trending, topics on the algorithm on social media. And it, and it totally creates a bullish, a bullish reaction. So I think that Donald Trump is, has noticed that, of course, and I think that he is going to continue to push the boundaries and push for bigger God candles. Cause I think, you know, when you post your first tweet that goes viral, you get like 10 likes, two or three retweets when you've gotten zero before that. I mean, that's a rush.

12:30Richard Greaser And I think there's very few things that can give Donald Trump, Donald Trump a rush anymore. Like a, like a Bitcoin God candle. I mean, he is, you know, people are praising him right now. Not everybody though. Some people do not like it.

12:46Rod Palmer I'm definitely a little bit frustrated with Trump. So one of the things that you talked about was the, the meeting that they so for anybody that had their head in the sand last week, which I kinda wish I did sometimes, but unfortunately, my role in life is as a credentialed journalist, and so I don't have the luxury of putting my head in my in the sad

13:11Rod Palmer sand like many people. But Trump, JD Vance, and Zelensky decided to have a podcast in the White House live for the whole world to see.

13:25Rod Palmer And JD Vance and Trump decided to disrespect Zelensky during the podcast and forget that he's a world leader fighting for freedom and democracy across the world. And it was just a sad day for our democracy,

13:44Rod Palmer in my opinion. There was no decorum, there was no respect, there was no, you know, they talked down to him, a fellow world leader.

13:53Richard Greaser They talked to each other the way that Terence, Yang, and Shinobi talked to each other in spaces. And if anybody

14:05Richard Greaser has ever been in spaces when Shinobi and Terence Yang are debating, you know, the impact of ordinals on the global south, you know that it's not a productive use of your time. It's not a productive conversation. All it does is cause people to dig their heels in and become more, you know, just

14:29Richard Greaser adversarial.

14:30Rod Palmer Yeah. It it was a bad day. So, like, I I I watched that. I was feeling a little bit discouraged. I was like, wow. You know, this is where we're getting to. We're having these these fiat argument podcasts that are where people are being mean to each other like it's Twitter spaces. The the level of discourse is just dropping so low. It's it's

14:55Rod Palmer unproductive to the tweet about the strategic reserve on on Truesocial. Trump tweeted on Truesocial about his favorite cryptos going in the strategic reserve, the wrap strategic reserve. And

15:12Richard Greaser what do you Can you tell our listeners who may not be paying attention the, the crypto reserve,

15:20Rod Palmer capital structure, if you will? Well, I don't know how it's gonna break down, but he did mention a series of coins. So he mentioned that the reserve would be including Cardano and Solana, no mention of Litecoin. He he then did a correction later and mentioned that it would be including Bitcoin and Ethereum as well. Yeah. And he and he, you know, he he did say that he loves,

15:47Richard Greaser Bitcoin and Ethereum and it's, it's worth mentioning as we mentioned in the in the intro, this was a a calculated maneuver.

15:59Richard Greaser You know, ETH was very close to basically being executed and and being removed from the top 10 of the coin market cap, top 10 list. And

16:13Richard Greaser hey, this is, this is a, this is a big deal. I mean, there's a Ethereum just, anointed a new CEO who's a girl and people are still digesting that. ETHDenver was completely, nobody sold any tickets. There was, it was

16:31Richard Greaser very poorly attended. It was, it was the end, the ETHBTC. I mean, people were posting that chart on the hourly. It was so bad for Ethereum and Trump woke it up because, you know, we talked about this, Ethereum and Trump woke it up because, you know, we talked about this. We need shitcoiners, a certain subset of shitcoiners to to wrap America's Bitcoin

16:49Richard Greaser and to build those layer two's. And Ethereum right now is the one that the Trump family has chosen to go with along with Solana, and with XRP and Cardano being sprinkled in there as well. Yeah. There's some speculation

17:02Rod Palmer that he'll be including, Monero. And I don't know. We're gonna we're gonna see what the what the breakdown did is, but it it is very clear that he, believes

17:18Rod Palmer in diversification. He it seems like the Trump White House is kinda like the the new Bitcoin of the '21 2021 cycle. They come in, they see all the tweets, they get excited about NGU, and they get a Coinbase account.

17:35Rod Palmer And they look at all these different currencies and they're like, okay, well, I'm gonna put the majority into Bitcoin, but I'm also gonna buy all the other ones to diversify because you can't just have it all in one basket. Right?

17:49Richard Greaser Yeah. Well, I, I wanna, I wanna say that I, I think that this was more deliberate than even that. We, I think it's very obvious. We know now that, Trump

18:04Richard Greaser values the Solana, blockchain and the CIA values the Solana blockchain because that is how they allow, or how they're able to pump and dump meme coins. So they're pumping them you know, the CIA needs to be able to pump and dump meme coins in the global South and Africa, help onboard tether. And the president needs to do that to aid the Supreme Court. You know, they ruled

18:30Richard Greaser that, in Scambler's United that buying politicians meme coins and pumping their bags is free speech, just like Citizens United allows this for the legacy fiat system. And the reason they picked Ethereum is because that's, like I said, where they're wrapping America's Bitcoin. That is the, you know, the favorite

18:52Richard Greaser blockchain of, you know, the Rothschilds. So they'd wanna be able to wrap. That's where the presence Bitcoin is wrapped. And then XRP in Cardano. And that is very deliberate as well because those two those two projects, those two communities are very, very good at getting bullish headlines

19:12Richard Greaser and he wants to be able to get bullish headlines. Donald Trump is very, very passionate about bullish headlines and they both have a community of very, very loyal simps and simps are very important on social media. So they have these loyal simps that are constantly supporting Donald Trump in the replies even when Bitcoiners are feeling bearish or or like, Schnoebi is is tweeting that Donald Trump is retarded, it's good to have an army of simps to to come in and and and clean up after that. Yeah. I mean, it makes sense that he's throwing an olive branch to the shitcoiners because

19:50Rod Palmer shitcoiners are good at n g u. They're good at marketing. They're good at n g u. Bitcoiners, not so much. And this is very apparent as seen in, Nick Kent Mines' recent tweet about how buying XRP

20:06Rod Palmer to put in the SBR is essentially, like, funding, trans trans child surgery. You know, people will read that and they'll be like, wow. That doesn't make me wanna buy Bitcoin. You know what I mean? Whereas the shitcoiners are doing all

20:25Rod Palmer all the like, in order I think Trump realizes in order to get the God candle, he needs Justin Sun. He needs that caliber of individual to get bought into what he's doing, to get bought into pumping him,

20:42Richard Greaser pump in him. He needs an alliance in Asia to counterbalance North Korea, who is our only on chain rival at this point. And yeah, it's I think that there's a lot of people on Bitcoin Twitter who are very, very reactionary,

21:00Richard Greaser but they don't have credentials first of all, and they also need to lower their time preference and kind of have a better, more thermodynamically sound worldview that takes in a lot more,

21:15Richard Greaser points of view and understands that there has to be compromise. And I think that this is just part of a negotiation tactic and, you know, it is it's working. So one of the reasons that it's

21:31Richard Greaser to be so bullish today is that Donald Trump orange pill Peter Schiff with his tweet when he included X or P in the tweet this morning. Neil, Peter Schiff responded and he

21:44Richard Greaser essentially, he capitulate. He said he understands what the rationale is for a Bitcoin reserve and that Bitcoin is digital gold and digital gold is better and more, effective than analog.

21:60Richard Greaser So you create a Bitcoin reserve, but he then he went on to ask and, you can look this tweet up. He said that, you know, what was excellent? What's the point of an XRP reserve that just doesn't make sense to I mean, I get like, so I'm ready to accept the Bitcoin reserve. And that is, you know, boom, first step of the negotiation, the announcement. The second step of the negotiation is start to come to terms. And then Peter Schiff has come to terms with Bitcoin,

22:26Richard Greaser and the rationale behind it. So there's a some of the people on Bitcoin Twitter, Clyde Herr is somebody who I pick on often, but, it serves as a good example. He's an orange sell and Pluttr has been trying to orange pill Peter Schiff.

22:45Richard Greaser Bitcoin Twitter has been trying to orange pill Peter Schiff for five for over a decade, honestly, at this point. And nobody's been able to do it. I mean, Tom has has debated Peter Schiff. Peter McCormick has debated Peter Schiff. We even brought in Greg Foss to debate Peter Schiff and none of them could orange pill him. But Donald Trump orange built him today. And I know that people are not ready to give Donald Trump credit for such a,

23:15Richard Greaser such an such a powerful orange pill, roster.

23:20Rod Palmer Would you So in my head, I'm thinking that David Bailey deserves credit for this because he essentially orange pill Well, he was not 100%. Yeah.

23:32Richard Greaser So 100%. Yeah. I would say that's the other thing. There's a lot of people who have, there's two camps really. There's people with, Donald Trump derangement syndrome and there's people with David Bailey derangement syndrome. And the people with Trump derangement syndrome, they're never gonna give Trump credit for these these decisions. But the people with with Dennis Byrd, with David Bailey, derangement syndrome, they just cannot

24:00Richard Greaser stand to see that they that David Bailey smarter than them. These orange orange pilling more people than them. It's it's really orange pill jealousy. So

24:09Rod Palmer yeah. What are the symptoms of, David Bailey derangement syndrome? Like what is it? What does that look like for Yeah, there's a, there's a few examples.

24:20Richard Greaser Dieter Bob, suffers from David Bailey derangement syndrome. So Terence Yang, famously suffered from that predator, the usual suspects.

24:34Richard Greaser So what do they do? They, anytime somebody who works for Bitcoin magazine or has a past history of working with Bitcoin magazine tweets anything, they reply to them and they blame them for,

24:50Richard Greaser for ordinals ruining, you know, spamming the blockchain and for working for Bitcoin magazine and sucking, you know, as Dieter puts it, sucking David Bailey's dick. And that is, that's the biggest symptom right there. It's anybody who is blaming the things that they are most critical about on Bitcoin magazine and its employees

25:11Richard Greaser or really just project that they're mad at David, not the employee?

25:17Rod Palmer Why do you think they're directed at the employees instead of directly at David?

25:22Richard Greaser Because David doesn't control. David doesn't, tell his employees what to write about and what to support. People like, you know, like I said, the usual suspects they see, they understand that Bitcoin magazine is one of the most influential publications

25:42Richard Greaser and that people get their opinions about Bitcoin from Bitcoin magazine. Shinobi, you know, never really was a pro ordinals, individual has never had that position,

25:56Richard Greaser but he never, every time he wrote something, he defended ordinals or he didn't do enough to fight it. And so they blame them. They, they think it shouldn't be shinobi and mark Goodwin and some of those other guys, it should be their duty to, to basically to try to stop ordinals and they didn't do it. They failed. Interesting. But the, you know, Monero, you,

26:20Richard Greaser I don't know where you heard the Monero was gonna get, added, but I noticed there was, you know, there was a little bit of commiserie and a little bit of celebration is very easy to tell that the Monero bros were acting very, very self righteous like they were glad that they were not involved in this strategic Bitcoin reserve fiasco and there were people calling them out saying that they were just jealous that they, you know, they weren't getting their bags pumped and they felt left out.

26:47Richard Greaser And I just think that that's missing the point. I think anybody who knows a Monero bro, they don't care that the government is stealing their savings and stealing their property

27:01Richard Greaser through currency debasement. They're okay with that. They just, they want the privacy to not be able to afford their taxes and nobody know about it. And I think that that I I think that's more respectful with the privacy. They don't care what the government's stealing from them. They just don't want the government to be able

27:19Rod Palmer to violate their their privacy. Yeah. It makes sense. I think that's a smart like, they they're individuals that want to be able to afford to pay their taxes. They just wanna do it privately. You know what I mean?

27:29Richard Greaser And now let's take a short break to hear some dating advice from Bugle correspondent Maggie Morris.

27:36Maggie Morris Hello, and welcome back to Maggie's relationship and dating advice corner. Please send me your questions, and I promise to answer them at Crypto Epstein on x. Hi, Margaret.

27:46Autistic Bitcoin Whale I'm a 41 years old autistic Bitcoin whale. My hobbies are Sudoku and listening to old computer game music. I've had sex only once with a crazy lady. I'm looking for the perfect woman to share my life with, but I'm afraid she'll murder me for my Bitcoin. I'm also worried that hitting on women

28:07Autistic Bitcoin Whale is like sexual harassment.

28:09Maggie Morris Do you have any advice? What you need on one hand is a woman that is so autistic she won't want to murder you for your money, or on the other hand the woman you like so much you'll want her to murder you. You just need to make sure you don't end up with a complete psychopath. To avoid that you need to be the one that chooses them so they won't choose you. So here's my action plan for you, sir. Go to the university closest to where you live and offer them a generous donation on the condition they organize a small party or event for you where attendance from the physics and mathematics faculty and masters and PhD students is mandatory. At this party, you'll need to identify someone who you're interested in and try to hit on them with a math joke or something. Of course, you need to make sure that they know who you are because, you know. I don't think this will take more than like $10,000,000 or about 10 universities until you find the right person for you. Someone I think you'll be very happy with It's gonna be totally worth it. About your woke mind poisoning which makes you afraid to hit on women, I actually have a special course for that that only costs 10 bitcoin on discounts, and it helps geeks who are afraid to hit on women after stuff they read on social media. And I think this will be a key to your success with women. Please send this podcast to your assistant so she can send me the money, and I'll immediately send you the course. My address is B C 1 Q Q Q Z 40

29:20Maggie Morris X E 5 Q Q 23 DA 0 G M N U 9 R R V 5 F K X E Z M E N Q D H W V 0. Bye.

29:37Richard Greaser Right. And if, you know, you think if inflation is going up so high and Monero is, you know, it doesn't really have NGU, it's built out of it really. I mean, you can't have volatil privacy and volatility do not really go hand in hand. So you have to have the stable, it's a losing value. Nobody's gonna really look into it.

29:58Richard Greaser And that makes it harder to afford your taxes. And if you can't afford your taxes, you don't necessarily want the whole world to know that. Why would you? So I get that, you know, some people are not going to fail. They are going to put in whatever work it takes to afford taxes and they don't care who knows it. And some people just aren't ready for that. Yeah. Well, it's weeks like this.

30:20Rod Palmer It's weeks like this for why the journalist wakes up in the morning. Like we're Yeah. For years, we've been dreaming of moments like this where the world actually is changing. There's there's new stories. You don't you don't just have to make up stories about nonsense

30:39Rod Palmer to get clicks on your articles. Like, there's actual things that that you can cover. There's debates to be happening. You know, things are changing. That it's just not it's not one segment of the deep state controlling everything. Everything's in flux. There's upward potential for your journalistic career because

30:59Rod Palmer other media organizations are are having issues and turmoil within which you can seize upon. This this is the moment that matters. And the the Bitcoin podcaster is standing there in the arena,

31:16Rod Palmer ready to take advantage of this moment. I'm curious how people are going to be able to compete with us and keep up with us if they're unwilling to smoke cigarettes like we are. Yeah. It's

31:30Richard Greaser that ability to walk in and to pierce through the veil of noise and find signal. It's, it's a much, it's not impossible to do without smoking cigarettes, but it, it's not the most efficient way to, you know, do it if you don't, if you don't smoke. So people are gonna have to rethink,

31:53Richard Greaser you know, their biases and rethink their, you know, programming that they've been conditioned to believe the smoking cigarettes is a negative. And I don't know, we talk about Trump derangement syndrome and David Bailey during the cigarette derangement syndrome as well. Cigarette derangement

32:10Rod Palmer syndrome is dumb. Well, speaking of a media organization that that probably isn't smoking enough cigarettes, the fellows over at BlockSpace had an up seat and had to issue a retraction this week. They Yeah. They get all rah rah

32:27Rod Palmer about trying to dunk on Swan and they totally you ever see those videos where some guys, like, wide open, run down the court with the ball, tries to do a three sixty or windmill dunk and just like totally rins it and the ball goes shooting across the court and it's just a completely wasted attempt. Or like when a football players run across the goal line and they drop the ball before they actually drop across the goal line,

32:58Rod Palmer That's kinda what I see is happening this week, with this article. So BlockSpace put out an article about Swan, suggesting that Ripple had given them investment money or or was somehow involved. And then they issued a retraction. They said, this is a smart way to issue retraction. So I'll I'll give Will Foxley a pass on this.

33:21Rod Palmer It's very clever. You know, it's a commonly used tactic by New York time journalists where they they issue a formal retraction. They say something along the lines of our facts were incorrect, but our opinions weren't. But yeah. So how the story played out was they published this article,

33:44Rod Palmer and then Corey got upset and started tweeting about it and said something about lawyers. And then they said that they were wrong and were working on a retraction. And apparently what happened was Ripple also sent BlockSpace

34:05Rod Palmer a letter saying that they were really upset that they would suggest that it was suggested that they would ever consider investing in Swan because Ripple values profitable companies

34:21Rod Palmer with influencer CEOs that like instead of just tweeting all day about whatever nonsense and shit coins, actually work on the company. What was your take on all this? This was a fiasco that was interesting to watch. Yeah. You know, it was involved per usual. Anytime small is mentioned duties around.

34:40Richard Greaser Yeah. This is a, classic case of like audience capture a little bit. It is a very easy way to get, you know, retweets, to get controversy stern, to get trending is to break some bad news about Swan or make fun of Swan

35:01Richard Greaser in some way. And what happened was that BlobSpace, they they thought they had a really juicy story. And because they want, they wanted to believe it was true and they wanted to believe it was going to be the salacious story that they could dunk on Swan because most, you know, most of the bad news

35:21Richard Greaser and rumors end up being true. So it was, you know, kind of odd odds were in their favor. So they'd been ran this story and they just, none of the journalists that worked on it have bachelor's in journalism. They're not credentialed. So they, they maybe cut some, cut some corners where they shouldn't, but they also shouldn't have believed that ripple. I mean, ripples entire business is

35:46Richard Greaser creating very, very dubious, very loose business partnerships or agreements with other companies with banks. And then they they promote the shit out of that and they say, hey, we just got this new partnership with this bank or we're just going to run this trial with this new company. And it pumps the, you know, gives the the

36:04Richard Greaser pre miners, you know, as liquidity and it gives money for, you know, funds the company entire existence. So. They wouldn't, you know, they wouldn't have it. They would not have a partnership with the other company in the

36:21Richard Greaser space that is an automatic like viral fucking number one YouTube channel for Bitcoin content. Like it's going to be perfect to have a relationship or a partnership with Swan. They wouldn't seek that secret. Will Foxley is not going to be the one that discovers that partnership. It's going to be PR News Wire. So,

36:41Richard Greaser it's just they were trying to feed their audience what they wanted to hear and it just, it bit them in the ass. Yeah. There's been this growing rise of anti Swanatism

36:52Rod Palmer and I don't know what to make of it. I think it's a lot of wasted energy. I tweeted about the subject. I said, you know, swanfluencers are kind of like Jews. Like, I I think our audience is agreement. We want the Jews in our society. Like, our why when our audience is isn't listening to forty hours of Bitcoin podcast a week, they they might be watching, like, a a good quality movie.

37:16Rod Palmer And like for like, say the Rocky franchise. So they're watching they're watching the old old school Rocky, they're watching Rocky four where he's beating the shit out of the Russian guy in Moscow and practically ending the cold war in a boxing match. And that would have never been possible without the Jews. And many of these Bitcoiners that are listening to Bitcoin podcasts, they wouldn't be where they're at in their journey without swanfluencers.

37:47Rod Palmer And, either love them or hate them, the the swan guys have done okay on the content side. Like, the the Brady Swenson mafia is definitely a force to be reckoned with in the Bitcoin podcasting world. Like, you mentioned they've they've got the the most views of a YouTube channel, which actually was surprising to me, because I don't I don't ever watch them. I kind of forgot.

38:14Richard Greaser Yeah. The it's just very hypocritical in my opinion. Not, but not everybody's hypocritical, but you know, every some people think that they say that they just don't want

38:30Richard Greaser or they're against, you know, this, Fiat ad, you know, marketing, astroturfing of, you know, a company that they they're influent. Like they they talk about the influencers and all the podcasters of Swan pushing the Swan agenda for wherever Swan is trying to sell. And,

38:48Richard Greaser you know, they own they only hold Swan to that standard. They don't, you know, call out all the other companies that run commercial. I mean, people sit around and watch the Super Bowl because they can't wait to see all the expensive commercials of these companies advertising their products. But when Swan does it, you know, why is it why do they single out Swan as the only company that's bad in terms of advertising? This just doesn't make sense. But, you know, not everybody

39:15Richard Greaser who is disillusioned with or not a fan of swan content is necessarily anti swanatist. Some people are just too autistic to to understand what advertising is. I mean, look at, you know, look at predator. He was sharing screenshots of, you know, people from the Fold

39:34Richard Greaser organization, the marketing department offering, you know, premium service at Fold for, at a for, you know, for free. If he would, post about from the fold going, you know, in the news about them going public. And, you know, Plato went on this rant. He

39:51Richard Greaser he seems to think that people on podcast have a segment at the beginning and end of every episode that they do where they talk exclusively about, you know, a hardware wallet company because they like that wallet that they just support that. He doesn't seem to understand that they pay for these commercials. So some people just kind of are in the crossfire there. They don't like any commercials and they don't understand what commercials are. But some people, they, you know, they do understand that, but they only target

40:21Richard Greaser Swans, Swans ads and commercials.

40:23Rod Palmer Yeah. I I think I I wouldn't I wouldn't call myself a fan of Swan. You know what I mean?

40:31Richard Greaser And this is one of the things Well, you don't you do not everybody. You know, we don't simp for a company, but there are a lot of people who do it's very important to them to simp their favorite KYC Bitcoin exchange. We don't do that, but that doesn't mean that we, you know, that we hate or like any company. We're not fans of any company. We just use ones that, you know, we don't use those companies. We just, you know, we don't have we don't have to have strong opinions here. Yeah. I mean,

41:03Rod Palmer I don't I don't really care for any of the the KYC exchanges personally. Right. It's it's just not not my thing. I don't use their products. I I don't think it's necessary to interface with Bitcoin. Their employees don't smoke cigarettes. They're they all have super gay HR departments. Like, to me, it's all the same thing. You know? The the thing that separates Swan from, like, a river or strike, is

41:35Rod Palmer they they have so many influencers in the podcast ecosystem. And, you know, I kinda I just I I get in a rough position frequently

41:47Rod Palmer where I I find myself having to defend them and I don't really want to. I don't wanna be a defender of Swan. There's there's no reason like, I don't use their product. I just don't care that much about them. I I

42:04Rod Palmer I tolerate them. I, I put up with them. I think it's important for the larger ecosystem as a whole too. Just avoid getting stuck in these baseless anti swan matic, conspiracy theories. The anti swanatism needs to

42:23Rod Palmer end it. And, like, I think it's okay to give a fair criticism where it's due, but to get over the top with the anti Swanatism stuff is just it doesn't drive your point across at all. It just makes you look dumb.

42:38Richard Greaser Right. I I don't want I don't think the Swan influencers are cool or like the Swan Force. Like, I'm not saluting a Swan Force member when they walk by. Like, that's like, I'm not going to simp like that. And I don't yet. And I don't I don't use those KYC Bitcoin companies either. Like you said, but I will say this.

42:60Richard Greaser I appreciate what the, those companies do because they support Bitcoin podcast. If it wasn't for companies like Swan and River and Strike, you know, the

43:12Richard Greaser these other ones, a lot of people wouldn't have ever gotten into Bitcoin podcast and we wouldn't have all these Bitcoin podcasts listened to. So I think you before you throw the baby out with the bath water, think about, you know, what they're doing for the Bitcoin podcast system. Podkomp is, you know, we don't wanna abolish Podkomp completely

43:34Richard Greaser without recognizing the, you know, what we, the cool conferences and podcasts that come with them. We just need to realign their incentives and get it off of the Fiat standard. I'm fine with abolishing

43:49Richard Greaser PodConf completely. Well, I just think it's, yeah, I just think it's very,

43:53Rod Palmer it's very shortsighted. It it will cause too much chaos. I'm I'm fine with the chaos personally. But, yeah, it it's just weird to watch, like, kind of the the comings and goings, the rising and following following of these influencers like Corey, the CEO influencers. And, I think it's just kind of a natural

44:16Rod Palmer cycle, and it doesn't need to be influenced or or fed or accelerated by baseless conspiracy theories is essentially my

44:30Rod Palmer my standpoint.

44:31Richard Greaser Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I definitely agree there. It's just, it's a it's a conversation that, you know, that needs to be had. It's don't, it's back to your reputation, I think, for your, to be, you know, an anti swanton. So it can really hurt it can hurt your career and it can hurt your podcast.

44:50Rod Palmer Yeah. There's, a lot of people are getting themselves in the hot water where they might not want the Swan sponsorship money today. And probably part of the reasons why is because Swan doesn't have any money to give for sponsorships. But when the ball run and pump them and Swan has a bunch of money and they're hiring all these influencers again, they're not all your friends,

45:13Rod Palmer you might find yourself in a situation where all your friends are Swan employees and you're kind of a person non grata because like all your buddies are going to the swan sex parties and you're not

45:28Richard Greaser Yeah, exactly. You don't get to be there for the stuff that that happens, you know, after the the the conference shuts the lights, but until and you also bring up a good point, you know, remember just remember the people who

45:47Richard Greaser it wasn't until Swan didn't have any money until it wasn't until Swan was broke and couldn't sponsor their podcast or give them free tickets to a conference that they were brave enough to speak up about Swan. And, you know, when the when it was a good chance that they might get that paycheck, they didn't have anything to say. But as soon as that went away, you know, they were like, oh, I've always been a critic of Swan. It's just easy to remember that. And when and just remember who stops

46:15Richard Greaser being brave enough to call out Swan, if they get more money, you know, it's just a way to, to evaluate the incentives of the influencers that you're following because sometimes people are, they're they're trying to build an audience off of being anti some, you know, meme or company or meme game that you don't like. And that doesn't mean that that's that's wrong, but you just gotta think about are they brave enough to do it when it's not

46:42Rod Palmer profitable to do it. Mhmm. When it's not trendy, when it's not cool. Like, that's that's one of the things a lot of these, these critics that don't have credentials, that don't really have skin in the game, They sit on the sidelines in their rocking chairs, twisting their mustaches, lobbing,

47:06Rod Palmer you know, insults from the PETA gallery. They're not they're not the men in the arena. Right. Exactly. They're waiting for the next there there's this problem. There's this consistent problem on Twitter all over the place, which is the bandwagoners.

47:25Rod Palmer Last cycle, Yellow coined the term, replicators. They're just the replicators. Like, there's there's this anti swanitism segment of the population that just wanna replicate goofy

47:42Rod Palmer things. And we'll we'll see. I mean, I think we should take notes. We should take notes on who's lobbying antisemitic, insults at Corey, at whoever, and then watch and see if they change their tune when Swan has money again and when it's cool to be a Swanfluencer

48:04Rod Palmer again. Because if it means that they get a speaking slot to whatever the next version of Pacific Bitcoin is, if that's the case, then they they might be per swan again, but we'll have the receipts. We'll be like predator on this one.

48:22Rod Palmer But, yeah, enough on that topic. I I just I get so tired of of defending Swan, of defending Corey. I don't I feel like somebody needs to do it. I'm just trying to be one of unlike Will Foxley, I'm trying to be intellectually honest here. And,

48:43Richard Greaser Yeah. It's people are creating a monster. I mean, look at what the mainstream media and people did, you know, and they they accused Trump of like all these things that

48:57Richard Greaser it was, you know, either hypocritical or it was just a they were crying wolf and people are constantly saying that Swan's downfall is coming soon. And, you know, they don't have they only have the they're they're crying shit wolf. You know what I mean? And they're creating a monster. They're creating a Teflon swan, like a Teflon Don, a Teflon swan

49:19Richard Greaser that, someday somebody's gonna have a very, you know, credible piece of information to, to warn people about swan and nobody's gonna take it seriously because everybody was using it to engagement form. Yeah.

49:35Rod Palmer Like the point of this podcast is to not promote companies like Swan. It's to ensure our listeners know that there's another route that you'll never have to use Swan if you don't want to.

49:47Richard Greaser Right. And listen, we know, we know that you hate hearing about Swan. We know that we hate talking about Swan. It's, but you, you know, all this just nonsense and this fake drama, your four year,

50:03Richard Greaser the conversation about Swan will continue until people's, you know, behavior improves and they just stop, you know, stop with the trauma just to get engagement. You know, before we get into the boost though,

50:18Richard Greaser I wanted to Claudio, we're looking at Fountain because I called out, made a tweet that Fountain did not even like. They didn't retweet. They didn't acknowledge whatsoever, but few of you did. It's cool. You know, we talked about this a few weeks ago. File needs to think more about and value more the podcast

50:42Richard Greaser listener. They do a good job of providing tools for podcasters, but they just, you know, as a podcast listener, a better user experience is desired. And I think a slam dunk easy one would be tracking hours listened to. And I think that people, if they had the

51:01Richard Greaser opportunity to display proudly their prestige badges, their their their badges of honor of listening to forty hours per week, and and doing that consistently, and being like a 1.75 speed

51:17Richard Greaser hero who's somebody who gets through so many hours. And not only would that just be a great way for Bitcoin podcast listeners to express themselves, it's a valid, you know, Jason Lowry's in the news this week and he taught me his he wrote a masterpiece, the Theodore Dostoyevsky of of of thermodynamically

51:38Richard Greaser sound, you know, thesis is is software and using reusable proof of work to,

51:49Richard Greaser to provide cybersecurity and national security. And these proof of works are so important and anybody who's ever listened to podcasts on fountain knows how battery intensive that is. That your phone gets hot, your battery dies because Bitcoin podcasts are just so much more intense and you'd have them up at full volume. And so probably why Sly Goomba always blows his headphones

52:13Richard Greaser is listen to it on fountain. And that is, you know, that is like, that is a proof of work. If you are putting in forty hours per week, that is a lot of energy to rain from your battery that you have to charge you from. And, I can, you know, somebody tells me that they listen to forty hours per week because they wanna work for me at my company, or we wanna do a partnership, they want to do a value for value relationship with somebody they met on the intellectual silk road.

52:40Richard Greaser If I can, you know, if I can look at their profile and see that they have listened to forty hours per week for the last two hundred weeks straight, like that is, you know, that is inherent objective proof of work that can't be that can't be fake. Yeah. I feel like

52:57Rod Palmer a this would be helpful in the hiring process. So, you theoretically get a candidate that you wanna work with you. You don't wanna hire individuals that listen to any less than forty hours of Big Boy podcasts a week. And this this could be like a badge that you could put on your LinkedIn profile.

53:18Rod Palmer You put on your Twitter account on your on Monster. Any anywhere that you can, you know,

53:25Richard Greaser sign an M pub with your NSEC and show your employ your potential employer, your potential, you know, business partner, the, you know, a decentralized proof of work

53:40Richard Greaser of your forty hours per week. You know, you know, you could, you could make that part of like, you could only open a lightning channel with another person who listens to forty hours of Bitcoin podcast per week because you know that that person knows how to balance their channel and is not gonna just go offline.

53:58Rod Palmer Yep. You're you're pitching so you're trying to fundraise from, like, Mark Mike Jarmez or, somebody like that, maybe like Stephen Cole or ten thirty one. So you're fundraising for your whatever your lightning startup is and, they wanna see a little bit of a resume.

54:21Rod Palmer Boom. You whip out your credentials for the HPW. Makes a ton of sense to me. I don't know why I found it when I was. Absolutely.

54:31Richard Greaser Absolutely. And, you know, even for nothing else, it's bragging rights. It's, hey, let's all find, you know, let's all look at Boomer. He listens to more Bitcoin podcasts than anybody else. Yep.

54:44Rod Palmer Another thing that I wanna shell before going into the fountain boos is OrangeLabel t shirt. So what we're trying to do with our merchandise

54:58Rod Palmer is we're trying to do a few things. Right? This is a form of value for value in a way. So we we create something valuable to you. So, like, when we ask you to boost our show on Fountain, it's helpful for a few reasons. Helpful because it helps a trend. The more boost we get, the higher up we are in the leaderboards. It gets more visible to other people. So it's useful for that. It's the same exact thing when you're buying our merch. So you're boosting us in real life. So you buy 40 HPW t shirt or comply t shirt, you're rocking at the meetup, somebody asks you where you got your t shirt from and then all of a sudden you're telling them about the bugle.

55:38Rod Palmer There's a little bit of a financial boost that goes with it, but if if that's the trade off you like of, like, okay, you get a t shirt as a response instead of, you know, us commenting on your comment on, fountain.

55:55Rod Palmer That's cool. But, yeah, it it's a way to boost us in real life to propagate the meme. So this this 40 HPW shirt, I got my hands on one. I think Mars got one too or or or secret financier, the one who's really controlling things behind the scenes. He got his 40 HPW, intellectual Silk Road shirt.

56:20Rod Palmer What a cool shirt to wear around. You showed to the meetups. You're propagating the memes, listening to forty eight hours of Bitcoin podcasts a week. Like, that's your that's your fountain badge in real life. If you show up to Yep. A meetup in last year.

56:33Richard Greaser Yeah. It boils down to this. When forty hours per week is a statement. People see you wearing a forty hours per week t shirt. They immediately know that you don't waste time and you don't have time to waste. And you immediately

56:52Richard Greaser that communicates so much about who you are and what what what your vibe is and might don't come to me with some bullshit, you know, XRP talk. Don't come to me with some bullshit about some drama, about anti swanitism. But don't come to me unless you've got you're ready to have a value for value relationship.

57:16Richard Greaser Because I don't have time to waste and I don't waste time. I'm a 40 per week guy.

57:21Rod Palmer Yeah. Like I know I know meetup organizers for years now. I've been trying to figure out creative ways to to turn shitcoiners from invading the meetup and swaying the discussion to towards topics they find kinda uninteresting or unhelpful. Like, you know, say some guy comes into your meetup and only wants to talk about his micro strategy and

57:45Rod Palmer software. Like, how do you how do you deter that from happening? Well, person walks in, they're looking for the group of people wearing Bitcoin merch or, you know, however you identify your meetup group. And the first thing that Shitcoiner sees is 40 HPW. They're like, fuck.

58:03Rod Palmer I'm not gonna be able to explain my Shitcoin scheme to these guys

58:08Richard Greaser because they already know it's stupid because they listen to forty hours of Bitcoin podcast a week. Before we go into the fountain boosts for the week, let's hear Maggie's last bit of dating advice.

58:19Micropenis Listener Hey, Maggie. I have a micropenis which makes pleasing my wife difficult. Fortunately, I grew up in a Christian household and waited to have sex until marriage. Unfortunately, my wife is incredibly dissatisfied with me. There's really nothing I can do about my penis size, but I'm wondering if going to Robert Breedlove's alpha course would help our marriage. Oh, come on. I thought that's the new HR department. I wasn't gonna get this kind of question anymore.

58:45Maggie Morris Well, does Robert Breedlove teach how to get a poop? If so, go for it.

58:55Rod Palmer But, yeah. Anyways, let's get into the found boost for the week. You could check out the 40 clothing line, the comply clothing line, and much more on orangelabel.co. Or wait. Yeah. That's the website. Orangelabel.co.

59:14Rod Palmer Exactly how it sounds. First post from or first boost from miss Huddlemont. Twenty thousand says, I went to rehab for laxative addiction. I'm back now and ready to get back to full time podcast listening. Well, welcome back, miss Huddlnot. We were wondering where you were.

59:33Richard Greaser Yeah. Yeah. Well, you know, Ms. Alana likes to post all kinds of stuff to get attention. I think one of the best things about, having that forty hour per week badge is to, you know, well, I think we all find out how

59:51Richard Greaser little, but Bitcoin podcast she actually listens to. I don't think the proof would be there. The proof of work. So what do you think laxative addiction looks like? I don't, it sounds like shit. Do you think it's like the people enjoy taking shit so much that they're just like Hey. Taking a shit is a good it's a good place to listen to Bitcoin podcasts. I think maybe people have like a Pavlovian response to they start to think that, they're doing a dopamine rush from taking a shit, but it's really just they listen to Bitcoin podcast. They listen to James Lavish and and Preston Pysch talk about, you know, what Bitcoin's bullish charts are looking like for the next,

1:00:31Richard Greaser for the next financial quarter. But, yeah, it probably would sound like that. I agree. I think it's probably a pretty tough addiction because,

1:00:39Rod Palmer like, I what I kind of imagine it looking like is your body gets hooked on the laxatives so that you can't shit unless you take them. Right? So but why why would you even stop taking them if your body gets hooked on it? Like, you need to shit. Right? So I wonder, like, what the the negative like because people typically go to rehab once there's some sort

1:01:04Rod Palmer of negative precaution for their actions.

1:01:07Richard Greaser I don't know that. I don't wanna speculate. We do gotta get through these these fountain based though. So miss Hollenott, I hope you are back on a regular schedule and are able to listen to Vaquint Podcast again. And next one is 10,000

1:01:24Richard Greaser sats. I mean, from a late stage huddle. It says read my boost from last week, or I'm retorting you for noncompliance, please. So I went back and I found found this boost from last week. I think you came in late. Yeah. From from this point forward, if you don't get your boost in, by the time we're

1:01:44Richard Greaser already we've already read them on the episode. It's too late. You don't get to be on there. But he goes a few and this was for 15,000 sets. So maybe if, you know, maybe if it's 15,000 sets, we will go back and read a comment for you. But a few episodes ago, someone said the Bitcoin podcast power law was the evolution of the Bitcoin power law, but I think it's more of a derivative. CC fundamentals since I'm just a simple plug.

1:02:11Richard Greaser When I met fundamentals in, in person, I realized his voice was mostly just numbers and math equations being converted into dialogue and dumbed down so my brain could comprehend. You may be able to help with this discussion here but, I know I am way out of my depth and I would just continue with my forty hours per week to get a leg up on those only listening to forty hours. Chris Satoshi and his compliance to never sell and therefore never owe any taxes

1:02:39Richard Greaser that he knew he could have never afford. That was a, that was that was a really good, shout out to fundamentals there. It sounds like late stage model does not think that, you know, he thinks that it's a derivative. He watched The Big Short and he listened to Margo Ruby in the hot tub. She talked about financial derivatives. And he suspects that the Bitcoin podcast power law may be derivative of Bitcoin power law. So fundamentals.

1:03:10Richard Greaser If you were listening to this, get get started on the math equation that proves this the proof of forty hours of math and work. And maybe

1:03:22Richard Greaser maybe you should do a you know, a clip or, you know, a discussion about this on your math podcast, your math on work podcast. And, maybe we'll play a clip from each year to, let our listeners know, but you should go and check out fundamentals math podcast because he is

1:03:42Richard Greaser a a very smart,

1:03:44Rod Palmer mathematical mind. So that was so you just read late stage Hoddle's boost on the last show on the show? Is that what happened?

1:03:54Richard Greaser Yeah. His his boost this the none the second boost was him, requesting that we read Watsworth's boost.

1:04:03Rod Palmer Oh, yeah. Well, if you're gonna send a really good, drawn up boost, you should probably do it in a way that we actually see it because I completely missed that. But that that's interesting. Well, thanks for both of those boosts. Late stage Huddl. Appreciate it. Next one is from anonymous. 5,000 sats says smoke crack, get back. Wrong. Smoke cigarettes, and get back. It's my opinion.

1:04:29Rod Palmer I don't know about crack.

1:04:32Richard Greaser Yep. The, the next boost is from when I will aggregate these. It's forty hours per week from Pies. Thank you, Pies, for 420 sats. And then Pies also boosted

1:04:46Richard Greaser the episode three more times over the course of a few different days. So he's coming back, maybe listen to what he can. Pais listens to so much sometimes. Yeah. I guess he has to listen to them more than once before he has more podcasts, but he says, for a 100 Sats, all three of these. So I think we should base the Sats Sudarette pricing based on prison tobacco prices. I miss pricing ramen noodles and cigarettes

1:05:12Richard Greaser for my days in prison. Yeah. I mean, they work with fundamentals, get us a podcast or give us a math equation for this, and we will get that entered potentially. You know, we could have a petition to get that entered into the CPI. And then Ty's also says, I wonder if I would get more street cred on Nostra posting a pic of me shirtless jackhammering. Yeah, I think that definitely could not hurt Pies. Also based on, you know,

1:05:44Richard Greaser some other really great if anybody's listening, go find Pies, other podcast boosts, especially those on, Gum from a Wispits. He's very, he tells really good stories about his days, leading up to his time in prison. So based on those, you know, that context, I would say don't post a picture of yourself on no stir shirtless jackhammering,

1:06:09Richard Greaser unless that is on the worksite on a OSHA compliant worksite OSHA compliant jackhammer. Do not post, any of the cocaine strip of porn.

1:06:21Richard Greaser But, you know, no stir is censorship. Nobody can tell you what not to do. That would just be my recommendation. Well, thank you for all those boost pies. Yeah.

1:06:30Rod Palmer Interesting story. I learned about the story a little bit this week of why Pies went to prison. It's not as, bad as some people think. It's just general noncompliance. Good non compliant behavior.

1:06:47Richard Greaser Yeah. Yeah. I mean, listen. Some of our I think it's badass, but, you know, not everybody thinks that the lifestyle for them is the old living above a strip club, being the coke dealer guy, and doing threesomes with strippers,

1:07:05Richard Greaser every like every other day. That is a very badass non compliant lifestyle, but again, not everybody has the time preference to be able to handle that type of lifestyle and maybe even those, Navy Pies wasn't either. He was having a good time, but it took, you know, he had to go to prison, lower his time preference, and start to think in a more thermodynamic, start to think about money. I mean, Ty started to think about money when it was scarce in terms of cigarettes and ramen noodles,

1:07:35Richard Greaser laid the foundation for him to the orange pelt. Yeah.

1:07:39Rod Palmer Some people call it a a prison worthy offense. Other people just call it a an evening hanging out with Kayley Welch. Exactly. Well, thank you for the boost. Hi. Next boost from Odie, HPW 365
