0:00Kailey Welch I'm a brand new Bitcoin podcaster. Being edgy and antagonistic to trigger normies? Well, that's what I live for. And while it has never been a better time to be racist, homophobic, transphobic, or any kind of phobic, complimenting others for their bigotry can get you into a world of hurt. And if you compliment your favorite fallen podcaster or political martyr, the woke right wing mob might try to cancel you and get you fired from your day job. And if your podcast isn't making 100,000,000 sats per year from fountain boost, your wife is going to lose her shit when she finds out your job fired you for what you said on your podcast. She's not gonna care that you were celebrating the message, not the murderer. That's why you need free speech insurance from First Amendment Mutual. First Amendment Mutual's top rated discourse indemnity protects Bitcoin podcasters from the mayhem they cause for themselves.

0:54Rod Palmer Last Wednesday, a tragedy struck our nation. The lord's good and faithful podcaster, Charlie Kirk, was assassinated. Charlie was a faithful servant to the lord. He helped to convince the broccoli haircut zoomers that Donald Trump was cool. In doing so, he helped set the groundwork for the future where the God candle was possible. As we enjoy this crypto bull market, let's remember the Lord's faithful servant, Charlie Kirk, and all the groundwork he did to allow this to happen.

1:28Rod Palmer While we are all feeling sadness that he is not here with us today to podcast, let us all feel a sense of hope as we know he is podcasting with Jesus in heaven. Now let's worship.

1:42Unknown Imagine the recording up in the sky talking to Jesus knowing hope never dies. Imagine the signal,

1:60Unknown podcasting with the Lord,

2:19Unknown heaven, preparing where we belong. Imagine all the voices join an endless song. Charlie is podcasting in heaven,

2:33Unknown preparing where we belong.

3:06Unknown Imagine all the voices joined in endless song. Charlie is podcasting in heaven,

3:44Unknown where we belong.

4:01Richard Greaser Volteriards, the fourth turning. For you know, after the election, a lot of us thought this is maybe the end of the fourth turning or, like, the very beginning of the end, and this was it was about to go fast. The meme at the end at the beginning of the year was accelerate, and we thought things were about to accelerate. Donald Trump was about to press the orange button, the strategic Bitcoin reserve, the, you know, Cindy Obama's 1,000,000 Bitcoins for the strategic reserve. We thought it was coming fast.

4:34Richard Greaser He he, Donald Trump pardoned, Ross on the the second day. We thought the SBR was better within a week, but it's time

4:46Richard Greaser to face reality. In fact, it's we can't avoid it anymore. It's not gonna be the easy way, the Bitcoin way, the strategic reserve way. We didn't fix the money because they couldn't figure out how to get it done. We couldn't audit the, the Fort Knox and

5:10Richard Greaser sell all the gold in a budget neutral way to fund the the strategic reserve. It paid their Bitcoin summer turned out to be longer than we expected. It wasn't going to give us the God candle. So we we just have to face the fact we're taking the hard way the long way. The foreturning's gonna last a lot longer than we expected. Trump didn't fix the country. He didn't end the war in Russia and Ukraine. He did not end the war in Gaza. He did not arrest all the people on the Epstein client list. He's not going to do that. And now we have, we have, you know, trannies shooting up schools

5:50Richard Greaser and killing podcasters. We've already talked about the Charlie Kirk situation and we don't have to, you know, go over the details of that again. But we have to accept that this is going to be a much longer process and we're in the now in the stage of we have to explain ourselves to each other. Everybody has to explain why they're laughing about who's dying, why they're laughing about which war is not ending,

6:18Richard Greaser or why they're not, and it's the stakes have never been higher. Like we said before turning, this is how who how long is this going to be? We don't know, but Richard Grieser, how is your fourth turning September Sunday with all the that's going on in the world right now?

6:36Rod Palmer I'm doing great. I'm having a good time. I'm enjoying life. Sometimes I wonder if I'm doing things wrong because I'm watching so many people be grumpy. They're losing their minds. Their brains are breaking but it seems like I just continue to enjoy life more. Bitcoin's getting easier to use

6:59Rod Palmer despite all the calls of it being broken or completely co opted or whatever people are complaining about. Yeah. I don't know. Am I doing something wrong? Should I should I be losing my mind and not enjoying life? Is there something wrong with me that I'm,

7:21Richard Greaser this is this is exactly Prisma Toya. We're in this moment where it's time to explain ourselves because some people are grumpy. They they listen to a podcast and somebody told them to buy Bitcoin and it was good to go to the moon. They're gonna be able to retire, they're gonna be able to buy their wife fake boobs, they were gonna be able to buy a PlayStation six, they were gonna be able to do all kinds of things and they're, they're, they're not in any of those things which they

7:51Richard Greaser were told, and they're still grumpy. And people are trying to fix Bitcoin, they're trying to save Bitcoin, and some people are trying to, run new node clients, trying to run knots, and they're trying to stop spam,

8:07Richard Greaser and there's no spam really, and they're still grumpy. It didn't fix Bitcoin. Somebody told them that running knots was gonna fix Bitcoin. It didn't work. They're still grumpy. People thought that this one was gonna go out of business, that paper Bitcoin, everybody's gonna go bankrupt. Then the stock is down, but paper Bitcoin fizzled out and the people who hated paper Bitcoin summer

8:31Richard Greaser thought they would be happy, but they're still grumpy. So they're trying they have they're making people explain themselves. Like, what? You told me that this was going to happen. You told me that this was inevitable, but I'm still not happy. Explain here. Why are you happy? Explain yourself. Why are you not doomscrolling all day? Why are you going to church? Why are you mad? Why are you laughing that this podcaster got assassinated? Why are you laughing that there's a genocide? Why are you not freaking out about the possibility

9:02Richard Greaser of child pornography on the blockchain. You need to explain yourself. And people like Shinobi are just calling them retards and telling them that they don't have time to explain it to them or they don't, tell them, you know, they don't have the time to explain themselves to everybody. And if you can't figure it out, you're a retard. Dear Bob calls people a little laggard, you know, other people just say, you know, you wouldn't get it. Some people giggle,

9:30Richard Greaser and they don't explain themselves. It's people it's just like I said, it's time to explain yourself. Am I doing something wrong? Please explain yourself.

9:41Rod Palmer Totally. Misery likes company. I think that's the the trend or the phenomenon that we're seeing is miserable people are trying to drag people into their misery with them. And you know, one of the things that I think is incredibly important

10:03Rod Palmer for people to go after is this assumption that life was easy. Was supposed to be easy. And life has never really been easy throughout human history. Life has always been a struggle. And the struggle is what brings purpose

10:21Rod Palmer to life. It challenges you. It challenges you to grow. It's it's like the free market versus a a completely centrally controlled economy where winners and and losers are chosen. The the struggle is the free market. And

10:43Rod Palmer there's a huge opportunity for people to really grow and benefit from the chaos, from the adversity that we're experiencing right now. You know, what are all the psy ops that we're seeing in the media? They're an opportunity to refine your thinking capabilities

11:05Rod Palmer and use your mind. PsyOps have always been a part of human history. Everybody's out there with an agenda trying to promote whatever their agenda is. That's not like a new phenomenon and I think people are the people that are tired and they're really worn down and they're frustrated, I think a huge part of it is because they had this assumption

11:29Rod Palmer that life was supposed to be easy. That they would just be able to experience the Cantillon effect, get the timeshare, have the nice things without really having to work for it, work their asses off for it. But

11:45Rod Palmer the pioneer understands this. This is why the pioneer is The pleb is upset right now that life's difficult. The pioneer is content. They're continuing to move forward. They're

11:58Rod Palmer accepting the world on the world's terms instead of decrying it. Decrying that things are unfair. It's unfair that people don't listen to my podcast. It's unfair that, people don't think the way that I think. It's unfair that

12:19Rod Palmer people aren't doing what I want them to. The pioneer isn't thinking that way. They are out there. They are building their own reality that they want to live in and they're surrounding themselves with people that build them up and help them. Because when you're working towards a goal and you're actually doing something productive in your life, having a bunch of miserable plaids around you complaining just detracts. I mean, think about,

12:48Rod Palmer Hank Reardon and Atlas Shrugged and his family. His family was always detracting. They were always complaining about him being an incredibly productive member of society. They were the plebs. And

13:03Rod Palmer when he rug pulled them, they realized that they were the plebs. Just benefiting off of his success and acting as parasites and leeches.

13:19Rod Palmer And that's what a lot of these people are doing right now. They're they're acting as parasites and leeches sitting on the peanut gallery. It's it's time to contribute. It's time to build. It's time to embrace the reality that life is difficult. This and this is

13:38Richard Greaser it feels like, you know, the the saying is those who don't study history, you know, are doomed to repeat it. This happened just a few years ago. The cancel culture is is back, and it's this time it has

13:55Richard Greaser infected the plebs. I mean, we laugh about tragedy and we laugh in the face of, untold,

14:08Richard Greaser you know, cruelty every day at all kinds of different things, and we're getting to a point where if you, if you know, if you laugh or you respond to something the wrong way, and you know,

14:26Richard Greaser we're living in an opera, like a a situation of scarcity. People who are not economic nodes, so to speak, They their value or their opportunities are dependent on, you know,

14:41Richard Greaser canceling other peers, canceling pioneers, canceling people who are, you know, have what they want. So it when the plebs are doing that, like, it it

15:01Richard Greaser it's a very it's a negative feed loop. It's, it doesn't it's thermodynamically unsecure. It destroys your community. It destroys yourself. Like, and it's it's it's not it doesn't solve any of your problems. So laugh canceling people for laughing,

15:20Richard Greaser canceling people for not wanting to peer with your node, because, you know, you know some people they don't think that Blast Zone should own all the houses in the neighborhood, or they don't think landlords should own the houses they don't live in. It was like some people don't think that, you should be able

15:39Richard Greaser to own a 100 nodes, and they they will they only think you should be able they only count you they'll only count your your one, you know? They're trying to cancel nodes, they're trying to cancel transactions, we're trying to everybody's trying to cancel something because they aren't building something valuable themselves. And you look at the the blockchain, it's the sats per vByte or, you know, this summer went below one. That's for you. You can get transactions virtually for free, and they're arguing about spam. It doesn't make any like, that's it's it's a nonsense conversation, but it's the yeah. The plugs are canceling, and we've got people with conditions of stolen valor. Node runners are stealing valor.

16:24Richard Greaser It's it feels like 2018 again. And I don't understand why people don't recognize that. Yeah.

16:34Rod Palmer A lot of people just wanna tear things down. And the problem is if the only thing you do is tear things down, there's nothing left to replace it. It's I think this is the importance of criticism

16:50Rod Palmer with having an alternative. The criticism acts as a frame of context. Oftentimes for what you believe is right or wrong. So you know, we criticize PodConf a lot. We criticize a lot of people in the PodConf ecosystem. But part of the reason why we do it is because we have an alternative in the intellectual silk road. There's some people building out some really cool stuff. There's some people building out really high signal.

17:18Rod Palmer And you see this. You see this all the time with these people that criticize Bitcoin podcasters. It's like it's a very silly thing to criticize Bitcoin podcasters in my opinion because the Bitcoin podcasters have been the tip of the spear. Bitcoin is where it's at because And I think if you're listening to the show, you understand or believe that Bitcoin is very important. It's very, powerful and in many ways, it's very productive for the people that use it to use it.

17:50Rod Palmer The Bitcoin podcasters have been a huge part of getting us to that point. So the criticism of Bitcoin podcast, broadly speaking, is on the same level of these cancel culture people, these individuals oftentimes criticizing Bitcoin podcasts aren't contributing

18:10Rod Palmer anything.

18:11Richard Greaser They're not Right. It's it's that you kinda nail it there because what happens in the fourth turning, right? We tear down the old institutions that governed pretty much, you know, a lot of people take for granted whether it's good or bad. The way that these institutions

18:31Richard Greaser shape our society, shape our communities, shape our lives, they shape them in way deeper, more structural ways than most people appreciate. So when they wanna tear down these institutions, they they underestimate

18:47Richard Greaser or they overestimate the value and then all the trouble that will come with it. All of the uncertainty, all the problems that will need to be fit. For Bitcoin to fix things, we have to break it down. We have to break it down into its component parts, liquidate the assets, and fix things one asset at it, reprice things one asset at its time. And that's gonna be a lot of work, and it's gonna take a lot of podcasts listening to, to, to put, to get to piece

19:17Richard Greaser together society after we've taken it apart. And for the same, like right now in, in the politics, we know that the government is full of pedophiles. We work with Epstein. They're all implicated.

19:33Richard Greaser Israel's involved somehow, but they've got their own problems. And all the European countries have their own problems. And all and Russia's got its own. Every country's got its own problems. And there's a million more inside of it. And instead, you know, in in Nepal that did they overthrew it? In Indonesia, they're trying to overthrow it. In some countries, they're overthrowing things. They're tearing it all down. But let's narrow it down a little bit deeper to Bitcoin Core. People wanna tear down that institution. That institution has been undergirded and it saved the Bitcoin. It has protected the coin. It has stewarded the code, the protocol

20:10Richard Greaser for the first few decades of Bitcoin's existence. Luke has been a part of that. But if we tear it down where we're replacing it with or we're replacing it with with knots. It's it's like we're we're gonna tear down the whole government in The United States and replace it with Donald Trump. We're gonna let him make all these decisions he's implicated.

20:32Richard Greaser We're gonna tear down core. Well, what well, the Nazis wanna cancel everybody who can code, but they can't code. They can't even recode. They all just up updated to to core to excuse me, to knots 29, at thousands of at the rate of thousands of nodes. In one day, they didn't even verify. They don't know how. That's what we're gonna replace it with? We're gonna replace it with that. Okay. Well, we're just doing all the work of

20:59Richard Greaser making sure that we're quantum resistant. If that ends up being a big we're gonna leave it to Luke to figure out quantum resistance when he's freaking out about spam and and child porn. Like, we're gonna trust Matthew Kratter to replace all the Bitcoin, but you hate Bitcoin podcast. You think Bitcoin podcasters are part of the problem. Let's tear it down. Well, none of you have podcasts. We just created a billion problems and new problems that have to be solved that have dire consequences. And now we have no Bitcoin podcasters because you cancel them all. We have no coders, no core devs because you cancel them all. Oh, they had said they failed all your purity tests. They can't be a part of this process. Okay. They're not there to solve the problems.

21:40Richard Greaser So who's gonna solve it? Matthew Kratter, Bitcoin University? He's gonna educate you and help you solve all your problems that you just created. But what happened in South Africa? Apartheid doesn't mean that apartheid was good. Doesn't mean Bitcoin Core is good. It doesn't mean that the Benjamin Netanyahu, Donald Trump, the US Senate doesn't mean that they're good, but tearing them down has consequences. And just like in South Africa, they tore down, probably rightfully so, the apartheid government and then throw all the farmers out, all the people who knew how to sustain, and it totally collapsed into chaos. And Aroburg's gotta escape. Don't turn Bitcoin into South Africa.

22:21Richard Greaser Like, unless you have listened to unless you're gonna listen to forty hours of podcast in overtime, everybody's unless you're sure everybody is gonna listen to forty hours of Bitcoin podcast per week, Don't take don't tear down. It's it's,

22:36Rod Palmer you're being hysterical. Very well said. Yeah. On the topic of tearing down core, which is a very strange idea because not essentially core with some parameters change. So it's like they're almost attacking themselves and not realizing it to a large degree. Yeah. This is what like the cancel culture So the cancel culture we're seeing on the right right now. So we're

23:00Rod Palmer talk a little bit about There's people out there creating databases of people that, in their opinion, reacted improperly to Charlie Kirk's murder assassination. It's very

23:17Rod Palmer reminiscent of what the left did. The left went out. They tried to cancel people that were involved in January 6. And it's a very similar playbook that happens over and over again. The playbook that we're seeing on the right is exactly what we've seen the left do in the past where they go and they single out people for bad behavior. A lot of times, it really is bad behavior. I'd say

23:41Rod Palmer celebrating a podcaster's assassination is bad behavior and I find it disgusting. But they, you know, the remedies that they present are more surveillance, more control over speech, more,

23:56Rod Palmer you know, coercion and throwing people in cages. And it doesn't really get to the root of resolving the problem. And the the Nazi guys are doing something very similarly. You know, Krater's out there, like trying to tag the FBI and things. It seems like the direction

24:15Rod Palmer that, a lot of the people that are on the the Nazi's the Nazis is to get the government involved on that. How people run their Bitcoin nodes or or what mining types of transactions, mining pools are including in their

24:38Rod Palmer block templates. And I think if you slow down for a minute and you think for a second and you check your emotions a little bit, you think critically about it. Ask yourselves like, Is this really what we want? Is the FBI dictating which node implementation you could run or what's your relay policy looks like? Or

25:05Rod Palmer over very silly and superficial arguments about things of like, do you want to relay the exploitative material

25:16Rod Palmer in the mempool or just kind of archive it on the blockchain a few minutes later if that's like making a massive difference. But, yeah, it's I don't know. What can you expect from a lot of people but for them to lose their minds? I don't think any of the behavior

25:38Rod Palmer that we're seeing right now is very surprising. I wouldn't call myself a core supporter. I don't think I've ever been a core supporter. But I think what a lot of people have kind of fallen into is feeling a responsibility or need to support these guys, to support these developers because

25:59Rod Palmer the behavior that we're seeing for the Nazis is so deranged and unhinged in a lot of ways. Yeah. It did. It get trial. It's it's hard because,

26:15Rod Palmer it's hard not to have a knee jerk reaction in a lot of these situations when somebody is, this is a problem with a lot of like responding quickly and emotionally to a lot of these really unhinged individuals is they start the framing of the conversation.

26:36Rod Palmer And a lot of times, the people that are trying to or are successful at framing the conversation don't even belong in the conversation in the first place. Like, if you go out there and you say something absolutely ridiculous like smoking is bad for you. You know, you're If you're responding to it, like I think the proper response to that is like, Oh, okay. Well, you're going to not enjoy life and you're probably not going to survive the fork turning if you're not smoking cigarettes. That's like a good healthy response in a lot of ways. But if I You instantly start presenting evidence like smoking,

27:13Rod Palmer cures Alzheimer's or Parkinson's. It makes you think clearer. You have a better time. You enjoy life when you're hanging out with people smoking cigarettes. It's more fun to listen to Bitcoin podcasts when you're smoking. You start lifting off evidence. You're letting them control the conversation in a lot of ways,

27:36Rod Palmer if that makes sense.

27:39Richard Greaser Well, yeah, it does because it's you used the perfect example somebody tells you that smoking is bad for you. You know that they know or that they think that they know that smoking is bad for you.

27:56Richard Greaser If somebody sees you smoking a cigarette and just they tell you that it's bad for you, it's just the most unhelpful con, antagonistic type of conversation

28:11Richard Greaser that they're intentionally setting a very rigid or unhelpful framing because of course, you know that people think smoking is bad for you, but you don't, you're doing it anyway. So you, whether you told them or not, you're communicating to them that you've already thought about this and you don't agree with their definition of, bad for you.

28:35Richard Greaser But this is what we're doing constantly in conversation. When, when Shinobi calls you retarded, it's not helpful. You know Shinobi thinks you're retarded. Everybody knows Shinobi thinks you're retarded, but you're trying to get him to explain himself because you don't understand his behavior or you don't understand about this other person's behavior. And

28:58Richard Greaser what people try and are trying to fix these problems, like you mentioned, like, with child porn, by using the govern. And even on on Bitcoin, it's why do like, we try to fix pedophilia in the government. Right? It's like, why would we trust a government full of pedophiles

29:18Richard Greaser to fix themselves, to fix the pedophilia problem in government if the only way to fix it is to, you know, give them all the death penalty? Why are they all the people in government going to give themselves the death penalty? They're not going to do that. And putting one podcaster in charge of the FBI, no matter how popular he is, you've given him an assistant director who's also a podcaster, who's like a really based alpha conservative pod. They're not and and putting them in charge of solving all of the pedophilia in the government is not gonna work. Putting one podcaster in charge is not going to work. We all have to be podcasting

29:54Richard Greaser and acting to fix these problems. So yeah, I mean, I'm not a core supporter either, but they do need to explain themselves because they, you know, we laugh, people laugh at the idea of not fixing Bitcoin or spam being this problem, which is, you know,

30:13Richard Greaser everybody knows that we think Nazis are retarded or that other people think Nazis are retarded. They already know that, but there's, you know, they're still being Nazis. Core is saying that the reaction of the Nazis to use knots and all these filters will actually actually degrade Bitcoin more than the op return or any of that, but they're doing it anyway, knowing the Nazis will continue to degrade the network. So they just have to explain themselves a little bit better, and the Nazis have to explain themselves a little bit better.

30:44Richard Greaser And, you know, we have to the process of contributing to the solution is not to let Luke do it. I mean, you can't hold the complaint about,

30:57Richard Greaser censorship on GitHub when people start arguing about whether core devs should be allowed to have sex. But at least all of the actual technical discussion was allowed to take place whereas that's not allowed

31:12Richard Greaser on the not side and it's just more free speech, I guess, on one side than the other. You have to figure out what the what the comp is there a compromise at all?

31:23Rod Palmer I get frustrated when people say that the core devs haven't explained themselves because I I think they do in a lot of ways. They they explain their the rationale behind what they're doing on GitHub. Ava Chow does live streams, talking about it. Gloria did a podcast with Shinobi. There

31:47Rod Palmer this is kind of like a common, trope we see from the Nazis is that they they need they haven't explained themselves. And the reality is is I mean, these guys, they go to bit devs all around the country And they talk with developers. They speak at conferences like BTC plus plus There's a lot of communication. It's just,

32:09Rod Palmer I think people kinda have this knee jerk response, which is they didn't explain themselves in the way that I wanted them to.

32:20Richard Greaser Yes. Yes. Exactly.

32:23Rod Palmer Like, there there's, like, an expectation that they go on what Bitcoin did and talk with Danny, and they explain to me that.

32:31Richard Greaser That is my that was a word. I tweeted this today in response. So, you know, Chris Guida, everybody if you if you know who Chris Guida is by that name mentioned, you know what I'm about to say. But if you don't, I'll try to put it into context. Imagine, like, a friend that you orange pill or you tried to orange pill at the beginning of the bull market, whether it was time or five years ago, and you're like, Anytime you have any questions about Bitcoin, do not hesitate

32:58Richard Greaser to reach out to me. I'm a I'll send you podcasts, I'll send you talk forms, I'll send you tweets, I'll send you memes, I'll send you articles, anything. And sometimes you send them in there even asking, you're sending them all these resources and materials And you just wish they'd asked you questions and they don't. They're not interested. That's a disappointment. We all think about like, oh, I hope I could orange build a friend. Then but nobody thinks about the Chris Guida

33:24Richard Greaser who no matter how many podcasts you send them, no matter how many links, no matter how many tweets, no matter how many personal DMs, no matter how many, platforms on spaces that, you you send or give to Chris Guida, he still wants you to explain it more in a more specific way, more, you know, constantly over and over till he clicks with him, till he understands it. And that is way too far to the extreme. And that's what a lot of people like the plebs are, in the nots plebs, are demanding is too much of an explanation. You're right. They have explained themselves

33:57Richard Greaser very carefully, very deliberately, very structured, and very, with a lot of feedback and and a whole due process. You can sense that the due process has been done. If you want more explanation, you have to do what Peter McCormick did. You have to start a podcast

34:16Richard Greaser and get them on your podcast to explain themselves to you personally. Well, tell otherwise you're just not you're not just owed entitled to the core debts time. If you want them to explain Bitcoin to you for an hour, you have to start a podcast. And that is why we need more podcasts because people need to

34:38Richard Greaser have Bitcoin explained to them just a little bit more. Just a little bit more than they had to explain it to Peter McCormack. There's still a need there.

34:48Rod Palmer I think that's great advice. That's really good advice. If you don't understand what's going on, start a podcast, start asking questions, get people on your podcast.

34:58Richard Greaser Otherwise, you just then pay them for it. Maybe maybe the core devs need to start an academy where they can tutor plants and teach them how to run a node. Tutor and teach them how to learn C plus plus or Rust or Go or learn how to be Lightning developers.

35:14Richard Greaser But you gotta pay them. You can't just, you know, let's say who's who's paying core devs? Who's funding them? Well, instead of letting Israel fund the core devs, you should fund the core devs. Get them on your podcast. Ask them for an hour session. Pay them to do pit to do pull request reviews. Get it explained to you in your terms. And and maybe that would maybe that would solve some problems. Yeah.

35:41Rod Palmer I said on the stream that we did, one thing that I've enjoyed about this week, the silver lining of, the Charlie Kirk assassination is that, Knotts hasn't been dominating, the timeline.

35:56Rod Palmer That's been kinda nice. There's a bunch of other stuff going on right now. There's, France got their credit rating, derated or devalued I don't know what you'd call it, dropped. So did Nantes. Nantes got their, their rating dropped by Clark Moody. Gave them a b minus. Downgraded them to a b minus.

36:24Richard Greaser And if you listen to forty hours of Bitcoin podcast, this is a great example of why you should. Because if you did, you would already know that France has hit you. You shouldn't lend money to France. And if you listen forty hours of Bitcoin podcast, you would already know that, that not, you know, numbers or probably some sort of civil spoofing attack.

36:47Richard Greaser You get the incentives there anyway. You would at least know that it wouldn't surprise you. So, yeah, you know, big things in the news, France credit rating already knew that. We already knew that.

36:60Rod Palmer Yeah. It's a it's a huge opportunity for for Bitcoin podcasters right now in France and in The UK. So The UK is having some pretty crazy, protests. I Like, they had 3,000,000 people show up and march in the streets, following a podcaster. Podcaster start he wasn't a Bitcoin podcaster, but Tommy Robinson organized this protest,

37:26Rod Palmer got millions of people.

37:27Richard Greaser This is a lot of people to learn about it. Yeah. I mean, speaking of Peter McCormick, a lot of people learned about this pro who Tommy Robinson was from the Peter McCormick show. You know, a Bitcoin, it is not a Bitcoin podcast, but it is, you know, it's like the

37:45Richard Greaser podcaster is a Bitcoiner. It's Bitcoin informed political discussion. And it really created great turnout for, you know, it might be legal to make memes in England again. You could take Bitcoin out of the,

38:01Rod Palmer subject matter of the podcast, but you can't take Bitcoin out of the podcaster. I think that's what we're seeing with Peter. Peter's actually put out some pretty interesting episodes recently. He had Michael Malice on. He had Whitney Webb on. Maggie said that it was like the best Whitney Webb interview she ever listened to.

38:23Richard Greaser Hell yeah. It's good to see.

38:25Rod Palmer I was a little bit worried for Peter for a little bit but it's good to see. It's making a comeback. Yeah. I think it's never been a more important time to support Bitcoin Podcasters. I think that's the lesson. As far as the topic, there's a lot of people out there trying to tear things down. There's all these populist movements.

38:48Rod Palmer I think what we're seeing in America where populist movements end up ultimately is central planning and surveillance. That's the conclusion of a populist movement.

39:03Richard Greaser Just where we thought that surveillance state had basically rooted in everything and we were being monitored by Peter Thiel and Palantir at all times. You know, this event happens with Charlie Kirk, and we realized that, you know, the FBI didn't even know, did they? They had to rely on him turning himself in. And if it wasn't for just, like, Fourchan

39:28Richard Greaser figuring all of out who was involved in getting the pictures of them and the surveillance footage out on the timeline. The government, I would have no idea if they had no idea what was going on. They were the Jocko Willink is the security, I think, for Charlie Kirk because according to CMI, Jocko Willink, you know, like the super hardcore Navy SEAL security alpha,

39:51Richard Greaser podcaster, that they didn't even notice that Thor Chan had to help them figure out where the killer was or the shooter was. Just as we find out that we didn't have it like we thought we did. Now everybody's begging for it. Now they're saying, oh, well, we gotta we gotta subpoena this court. We gotta cancel these people. We gotta publish a list of everybody who laughed at this joke. We gotta make tweets unprivate again. We have to do this. We have and it's like they're begging for Peter Thiel to come in and give what we everybody was saying, you know, we are so over because of this. And then Tether swings in and and gets their their CBDC coin. It's

40:32Richard Greaser just crazy to see clubs doing this.

40:36Rod Palmer It's not that crazy. I mean, it it's expected. I I think we're gonna see more of it. I would say expect more of it. Brace yourselves for more of it. Learn how to fortify your mind against it and and just, you know, prepare for it. The the the plums are always gonna be retarded. That's a given. That's like a

41:00Rod Palmer a constant. It's just a It's one of those variables that's very expected and predictable. The plugs will be retarded. Just prepare for the plugs to be retarded however it is and yeah.

41:16Rod Palmer But, yeah. So it's been a really interesting week. Really interesting news week. I think that this upcoming week is also gonna be very interesting. We're getting into the holidays. It it it looks like some global conflict is, ratcheting up

41:38Rod Palmer again. I think right now is a really good time to get in shape to be in the gym. And one of the reasons, like, especially if you're a younger person, if you're like a Zoomer, if you're in the draft age, you don't want the World War three that we're currently watching and escalating and you being out of shape and you getting drafted

42:02Rod Palmer and having to be a boot camp doing push ups.

42:06Richard Greaser You can't count on you can't count on trainees to get drafted anymore. They're getting rid of that. They're getting rid of trans people in the draft. You might have to go fight in well, look, Russia's dealing doing stuff in Poland, in Romania,

42:25Richard Greaser stuff's popping off. In Ukraine, still, lots of drones. Gaza, it seems like they're going harder on Gaza right now than they ever have before. They're talking about Iran again. They're bombing killing the the Houthi leaders in,

42:42Richard Greaser Yemen. They're bombing Doha, Qatar. They're bombing Venezuela. They're bombing, dude. I don't know. You don't. Yeah. You need to get in shape. They're gonna need

42:57Rod Palmer cannon fodder the way things are going. Yeah. You need to be preparing for how to be, the best cannon fodder you could be. The elite cannon fodder.

43:08Richard Greaser Did your very bad craft at least be at least be like, you know, who was the the NFL football player who's just got, like, bombed by the Canadian, Air Force or whatever or was with the Canadian military and got bombed by friendly fire in, Pat Tillman in Afghanistan? Cannon fire. Dude

43:28Richard Greaser signed up to defend his country, to fight Al Qaeda, ended up just cannon fodder. If you're gonna be cannon fodder, you know, do it for something.

43:43Richard Greaser At least be a meme. Be, you know, go viral. Do something. Be in shape. A t in a viral that's forgotten.

43:51Rod Palmer Yeah. Be in shape. Maybe a good strategy, to make your death more memorable is, you know, post TikTok videos of you working out. Post your six pack. Post your, deadlift PRs. Build up your, social media following. Be a thirst trap. Use,

44:10Rod Palmer be like BTC sessions. Have thirst trap pictures with AI muscles. Take creatine.

44:21Richard Greaser Whether whether you're gonna be cannon fodder or a martyr, do you want that? Do you want people to get canceled for laughing about it? Do you want people to get fired from their work for laughing if,

44:39Richard Greaser did you die while you're podcasting? What's your answer?

44:42Rod Palmer What's my answer?

44:44Richard Greaser Yeah. Do you do you want people to get canceled if you're a martyr for making for laughing about it?

44:50Rod Palmer No. Not personally. That's fine. I don't get I I just I don't really give a shit about what people think. I think that's a different attitude. I think if you're out there and you're trying to cancel people you know, for laughing about you getting assassinated while you're podcasting,

45:13Rod Palmer it's a it's a place of insecurity. Like one of the reasons why I've got an ounce of respect for Charlie Kirk is like he appreciated that South Park made fun of him. And he wasn't a he wasn't a sore loser. He wasn't like a a predator or Matthew Crater about it. What would he do

45:33Richard Greaser if you're you became a martyr because somebody like the Epstein because of the app that you're trying to, uncover the Epstein case or you, because you wanna which you want people you wouldn't want people to cancel

45:49Richard Greaser people for laughing at your jokes. You want people to, get to the bottom of what it was that actually, you know, led to

46:02Richard Greaser them going after you. So yeah, I think you wanna instead of going after the killer, I think what we're learning is that shit, your Republican looking look in normal ass neighbor. Your, it could be a crazy person, it could be a homeless person, it could be a black person, it could be an Asian person, it could be somebody in your family, could be the one that slimes you for saying the right thing

46:32Richard Greaser and if they go down, then that's one up. It'll get you the next delay. It's a network. It's a, it's a technology. So instead of taking out all of your anger on, you know, the shooter or the person who does the act, I think go deeper and try to figure out, try to cancel

46:52Richard Greaser the evil that controls it all, you know, it's in trying to figure out how to kill people's brains. Does that make

47:04Richard Greaser sense?

47:05Rod Palmer Yeah. I I do think it's interesting, you know, in the hypothetical, scenario if I was murdered. First of all, the nice thing about dying is is like the battle's over as far as I know. You know what I mean? You get you get a rest, hypothetically. I don't I don't have any like conclusive beliefs on what happens after you die. I don't know. But

47:36Rod Palmer theoretically, the battle's over. And what I would hope for people in that scenario is that they make good decisions for themselves. And maybe the justice of this situation

47:49Rod Palmer is they're like, I don't care about justice for me, you know, at that point. But if there's a scenario and a reason that they should look into things and investigate things for their own, well-being and because the truth does matter and I think it all kind of depends

48:11Rod Palmer you know, the scenario. But, like, if it if not chasing the truth in that scenario means that their lives are gonna be worse and the ramifications of whatever the lie is is gonna be worse, then I think it's important for them to do it. But not just because of, you know, me or my legacy or anything. Do it for yourselves.

48:34Rod Palmer Do it for yourselves. And it's like, you know, I've I've been, you know, kind of emotional about, Virginia Roberts' death. You know, part of the reason why is because I think the ramifications of it are are really sinister and dark. They're really sinister and dark and they they impact all of us.

48:55Rod Palmer It's more it's less about her and it's more about the ramifications allowing these pedos to control everything and to get away with it and to continue to perpetuate the lies. But yeah,

49:11Rod Palmer I'll be hanging out in Valhalla with Charlie Kirk.

49:16Richard Greaser What do you think about it? Yeah. I think if you if you do it for yourself, if you're doing something for yourself, I don't think you will be grumpy. If you're not doing things for yourself, and you're not really having any impact

49:35Richard Greaser on the outcomes that, are determining your future, your emotional state, your, you know, optimism about the economy, whatever it is. If you're undoing those things for yourself, you're not having any sort of,

49:55Richard Greaser impact on your future or your life, you're gonna be grumpy. And even if you are doing things for yourself, you might be grumpy, but it's a different type of ground. If you wake up every day grumpy but you you go to work and you start building and you do it with because you're doing it for yourself. I think that, that's different but I think ultimately

50:18Richard Greaser you tweak it and you get to the point where you realize you don't have to be crumpy and you can build your way out of it. But it I think that's maybe where some of a lot of these problems are coming from. It's like, if you don't start a podcast, you're not fit you're not doing it.

50:39Richard Greaser You don't have to start a podcast, but if you do start it for yourself, you probably won't fix the world. Like, Scratch Patel is not gonna fix the FBI. You're not gonna fix the world, Bitcoin is. You're not but you're not gonna fix the world by yourself, especially. But you could start to see a positive impact, and I think that really goes a long way

51:02Rod Palmer in making it easier to not be grumpy. Yeah. Yeah. If you start a podcast, you have to do it for yourself. If you're trying to do it for other people to fix them, it's a wasted effort because you can't control other people. You can't control their brains. It's a responsibility I don't think anybody should aspire to have is to control somebody else's brains.

51:29Rod Palmer It's having a very, you know, low opinion of people. And, you know, part of the reason why I point out that the Plebs are retarded all the time is not just because I'm trying to put them down. I'm trying to highlight that the pioneers are are are really important for a lot of reasons because their opinions actually matter. It's not an expectation or an encouragement of people to be retarded. But I think you just have to call the people out that are because it's not cool to be retarded. And

51:60Rod Palmer it's cool to think for yourself. It's cool to be a productive member of society, to actually be a contributor and not just a commentator, from the peanut gallery.

52:16Rod Palmer But

52:19Richard Greaser Yeah, it's I'd rather be called retarded than be called a pleb Because they they essentially mean the same thing, but retarded

52:30Richard Greaser implies, you know, I everybody starts out retarded. I was once retarded, and I am now a pioneer. But, Plaid kind of like whitewashes the problem, and it makes it

52:44Richard Greaser seem like a state of, you know, where you want it's not a Plaid Tile. It's not, you know, it's not supposed to be a purgatory. It's a final dust. No. At least the retards kind of accept their situation and are wanting to improve it. Whereas a plaid doesn't accept the situation. They try to ignore the fact they're retarded

53:05Richard Greaser and they can't get better.

53:08Rod Palmer Yeah. The, the term pleb is just cope for being retarded of of of trying to reframe the conversation where it's cool to be retarded.

53:17Richard Greaser That's Yes. You have to understand, Pleb came around 2020, 2021. People were demoralized back then and they were coping hardcore. People were coping big time

53:30Richard Greaser and Pleb was derived as a cope for being retarded. Absolutely.

53:37Rod Palmer Yeah. Just, coping it it's kinda like, PlAB is kinda like the body positive movement in a lot of ways.

53:45Richard Greaser Yes. Great example.

53:48Rod Palmer You know, there there's people that are that are fat that want to, make it like, I think most people that are overweight, they understand that it's problematic. And I think it's important to understand that people who are overweight are often overweight for a reason. Like, I think everybody has vices and they have issues. And the unfortunate thing about being overweight is that it's just like a vice that you wear everywhere you go with you. Everybody sees it.

54:15Rod Palmer And I think there's one thing I don't think you should feel super bad about it. People know the consequences of being overweight. It's not the best for you. It's just part of the reason why I think cigarettes are great because it makes it easier not to be overweight. But cigarettes for the original is epic. But the Bosi positive movement is just an attempt

54:40Rod Palmer to support or normalize the bad behavior which I I think we can all agree is, being problematic and and and Plab is the body positive movement of Bitcoin of being, retarded.

54:54Richard Greaser No. I think that that I think that's a great summary. It You're right. You should not feel like just you should not give up just because you're overweight. Just like you should not give up just because you're a pleb. But

55:11Richard Greaser just know that you shouldn't be proud of it. And as long as you're not proud of it, there is still, you know, still hope. Like, you know, you're figuring out what the issue is with any of your vices. Again, like, this is just, it just don't be proud of your don't be proud of these vices that you know are bad for you. Don't pretend

55:34Rod Palmer that there's a reason to celebrate. Yep. I mean, it's it's not like you should even feel like super bad. Like the the choice is yours. And you're gonna reap the consequences. If you choose if you choose to not change the behavior and continue to be overweight, like you're gonna reap the consequences. You can't you can't hide from it. It's part of the reason why I don't pick on people for it. It's just like, you know, the If you choose to be a plaive and you choose to be retarded,

56:04Rod Palmer you're gonna reap the consequences for it. And you're seeing it right now all over the Twitter timeline as people are incredibly unhappy. You know their unhappiness is bleeding into their lives. It's hurting their relationships. It's hurting their chances of success. They're wasting so much energy on being grumpy instead of

56:23Rod Palmer doing productive things and building things. They get to the end of the day after complaining about what everybody else is doing, you know, having Dave Bailey derangement syndrome or, you know, whatever it is. And they're gonna tune out and watch sports ball on Netflix.

56:38Richard Greaser And Yeah. Yeah. And it's the I think the we could lose back to the beginning of our conversation today. We talked about somebody telling you that smoking a cigarette, is bad for you.

56:52Richard Greaser Well, there's certain things like being overweight, you know, everybody thinks that it's bad for you, and so somebody comes up to you and says you're fat, that's bad for you. Well, there would I guess my point is if you're gonna be anything, if you're gonna do anything, you should be proud of it. Especially if it's something that,

57:14Richard Greaser is controversial or even that, you know, whether it's bad for you or not, everybody thinks it is. And so they're gonna tell you every time they see you doing it or being who you are, they're gonna tell you that that's bad for you. So if you're proud of it and you can be proud of it without

57:36Richard Greaser people, you know, laughing at you and getting fired from their job, if you can just be proud of it and explain it, why you are doing what you're doing proudly, when people tell you that it's bad for you, then that's probably the best place to be in and and to not be grumpy. But if you're doing something that you're not proud of,

57:58Richard Greaser and people tell you that is bad for you, you're gonna be, oh, I I don't I'm sorry or this is my excuse for this, or it's my uncle, he freaking told me stories and when I sat on his lap and did this to me, and this is why I do this. Well, guess what? You've framed the conversation now as you're, there's something wrong with you and that you're ashamed of yourself. And if people, if you have people frame that comment or you frame it for yourself, because you're not proud of what you're doing, it's always going to be

58:30Richard Greaser an uphill battle and you're always gonna, you know, be feeling bad for yourself. So just do what you're proud of.

58:38Rod Palmer Yeah. My my hope for you guys that are listening to this is that when you look in the mirror, you're proud of yourself. And if you make that decision, I I no longer wanna be a plab. You look in the mirror, you look into your eyes and you say, I no longer wanna be a plab. It's out of self respect. And I think this is like the mistake a lot of people make when they try to create change is they try to like shame themselves. They're like,

59:07Rod Palmer Oh, I'm a piece of shit. I need to stop being a piece of shit. Like you know, the behaviors aren't a reflection of who you are at your core. They're distortion of who you are. You're not acting as yourself, as your best self. You're acting out of distorted beliefs about yourself. Look in the mirror, have some respect for who you are, make the change. I wanna be a pioneer.

59:33Rod Palmer I wanna build things that are cool. I wanna be an active participant. I wanna use my brain because it's worth it. Because I'm worth it. I only have what's in front of me with this life. I can't go back and change the past but I can I can change the future? I can I can create in many ways my own destiny for myself?

59:56Rod Palmer That's my that's my hope for you guys. I, I believe in you. I have faith in you. This is why we podcast is because I do have faith in our listeners. I've got a tremendous amount of respect for our listeners. That being said, I think we should go to the fountain boost unless you got anything else on, this topic that you wanna talk. No. No. I just Raviel. Let's go with the fountain boost. I would just wrap it up by saying,

1:00:26Richard Greaser not to get it confused that, doing what you're proud of and what you think is the right thing will always lead to people, not telling you that it's bad for you and getting a negative reaction, like, you can never escape that. But, so just understand,

1:00:46Richard Greaser doing what you're proud of and doing thinking you're doing everything right, you will still fail a purity test and it it it will still be a you might still be doing something risky to, to be out there and proud of yourself. It doesn't mean you should do it. First boost, Otis Bittmeyer, 5420

1:01:06Rod Palmer SAT says, got my bachelor's from the University of Bitcoin thinking about going back for a master's. Yeah.

1:01:12Richard Greaser Otis Bittmeyer, if you listen to the intellectual Silk Road episode with our conversation with Otis, I think that, it's a great example of the journey of somebody who has a

1:01:30Richard Greaser mindset of a university of Bitcoin alumni. And I'll tell you that it's a good example of that. You might be able to follow if you identify with that journey.

1:01:43Rod Palmer Absolutely. I've been getting a lot of messages from Otis the last couple weeks. I really appreciate it. I really appreciate it. Big fan of Otis. I'm glad, I man,

1:01:58Rod Palmer with with his bachelor's degree, he's already a force to be reckoned with. Great Bitcoin podcaster. I can't even begin to imagine how much of a formidable force he would be with a master's degree. That's, it's kinda hard to imagine how you can level up from where he's already at.

1:02:20Richard Greaser Go away. Next one From S And B 500 South Side Dave. How does that sound? Iago wants you to be grumpy low coiner. Nuh-uh.

1:02:31Richard Greaser We will be the Bitcoin pioneers. Hell yeah. That's it. That's the attitude right there. It's what we're talking about. Dave's got

1:02:42Rod Palmer it. Absolutely. Be, grumpy when people are gleeful. Be gleeful when people are grumpy. Next boost from Pies. A 121 sats. Salute mushroom strong-arm. Thank you, Pies.

1:02:59Rod Palmer Pies is, all over the timeline, all over Noster. Continuing to be a shining example of what a podcast listening pioneer looks like. It's awesome to see.

1:03:13Richard Greaser 100%. Next one's from We All Eat 5,021. Haven't heard from We All Eat in a while. It's good to see you in the boost again. Yo, love you fuckers. I'll always be fucking plaid. Brooke, you put out good, you will get good back.

1:03:33Richard Greaser You go looking for trouble, I assure you, you will find trouble. Fuck them all, Rada still, gay as fuck. Well, We all eat is proud to be a pleb. And, honestly,

1:03:51Richard Greaser I think he's doing good for himself. I think without being a pleb, We all eat might be, you know, you might be married to miss Hoddle not. He would not wanna do that. I think, You know what? Proud to be a pleb. I'll give it to you, man.

1:04:08Rod Palmer I think we all eat is just confused on the definitions here. I think what we we all eat, you know, is trying to say is that he's not like a pod comp shill. He's just a working guy working his ass off, listening to podcasts, doing productive things with his life. But I don't know how many times I have to say it. I I don't think we all eat as a plot. But, you know, if you're really gonna die on the hill, I would I'm not gonna give you too hard of a time. But yeah. I'm interested what you think of you know, are you by continuing to refuse to let go of the label pleb? Are you,

1:04:48Rod Palmer engaging in this body positive Bitcoin movement?

1:04:55Richard Greaser Or is it, you know, is it more like, is we all kinda wear in, you know, for some people, their pleb era, you know, the pleb stage in their journey was a really good time. I mean, the spaces were great for a while. The Pleb at happy hour parties at conferences were fun. The Taco Plebs.

1:05:16Richard Greaser There's a lot of you know, some for some people, it's like, if you think about Pleb as a high school journey, some people peaked at high school, and they wear their, varsity football jackets when they're middle aged, and they, you know, they've moved on really, but, you know, they miss the days of of being on the high school football team, and some people miss the days of being a pleb, you know, and they they had a really good time. They don't wanna forget the memories.

1:05:44Richard Greaser They have their, you know, class of 2021 ring that they wear because, that's when they were orange pill, and that's when they started listening to podcasts. And, they wear it they wear it, like, they wear it on their sleeve literally. So, you know, I don't think there's anything wrong with that, I guess. I'm I at least I'm not gonna I'm not gonna make fun of somebody for it.

1:06:05Rod Palmer I might make fun of somebody for it, but I I don't think it's, like, the worst thing in the world. I'm just gonna tease him a little bit. That's a that's a great, great comparison. I like that a lot. Well, thanks, Weolid. I really appreciate you as always.

1:06:25Rod Palmer Great guy. Huge fan of Lake Satoshi. We All Eat's pretty much the reason why I went to Lake Satoshi. The reason why that is such a cool

1:06:37Rod Palmer spot that the intellectual Silk Road has really, gotten behind and enjoys meeting at, I would say We All Eat is a pioneer in that front. Next boost, late stage huddle 5,000 sat says, holy shit. I laughed out loud in my office, Fiat job at the Navy SEALs agreeing with the fungibility of Asians. Yeah. I think that was a really good bid. You don't hear a lot of people, you when they're doing commentary about war discussing the difficulties of

1:07:11Rod Palmer invading or engaging in combat with Asians and the fact that they all look the same. It's a very real thing. I think a lot of people are afraid to say it. There was that, stop Asian hate. People are

1:07:27Rod Palmer a little touchy around talking about Asian people sometimes and I don't think you have to be. I mean, it's just a reality. They all look the same. There's nothing wrong with it.

1:07:43Rod Palmer I know there's there's a lot of really attractive Asian women out there. It and, you know, they it's it's because they they do look the same. It it's as it's it's a feature not a bug, I would say.

1:08:02Rod Palmer It's really good from like a defense standpoint of being able to keep your country from being taken over, invaded. Look at how successful the North Koreans have been with a very antagonistic American,

1:08:20Rod Palmer empire against them for a long time. They've been they've been fending them off. They just know they they know the art of war. They read something.

1:08:31Richard Greaser It's easy to have body doubles, so it's hard for the CIA to assassinate you. Yeah. I mean, there's a lot of there is a lot of value. I mean, Vietnam, the the Vietnamese

1:08:45Richard Greaser won that war because of their ability to blend in. The next one is for a 100 stats for BTC onboard. Three thumbs up emojis. Good to have you listening. BTC onboard. The, all reliable. All reliable.

1:09:01Rod Palmer Appreciate the boost. Next one and last one from Avi Burra 8,000 sets says, I no longer identify as a plow. Yeah. It's it's hard to. It's hard to identify with the plebs these days, especially when you're not one.

1:09:19Richard Greaser I'm sorry. You know, say, Gladin Avi does not identify, self identify as a pleb. I never viewed him as a pleb. So did they he doesn't view that way anymore either.

1:09:32Rod Palmer Yeah. I'm excited about that one. They I I really appreciate the guys at at PlugChain a lot. I appreciate Avi. I would I would say Avi and and QW are the reason why I care about Noster. And, I've enjoyed caring about Noster. I've enjoyed being on, that app quite a bit. It's been fun. There's some good, there's some good vibes. I think a lot of people haven't,

1:10:03Rod Palmer figured out the the important role of, credential journalism yet. They get a little bit confused about things. They like to argue about stuff that is very self evident. It sounds like they haven't listened to our the Butte Weekly yet, but they're they're, they're gonna learn pretty quick, I think. They're they're faster learners than a lot of the people on Twitter, I would say. So Yeah. They have you know, those guys are

1:10:25Richard Greaser also the reason, you know, that we care about floods. Yeah.

1:10:30Rod Palmer Well, guys, I hope you have a good week. As everything's getting crazy, just remember, spend time with your families. Do things that you enjoy. Just because everybody else is grumpy doesn't mean that you have to be grumpy and you don't have to have a bad time. There there's a lot of opportunity to do some cool stuff.

1:11:15Rod Palmer do you guys enjoy when I put out early access music? Let me know. Let me know what you thought of the Fed article conversation. We'll be having some more stuff. I'm still working on, sorting out, Rod's job interview. That's on the docket and will be out here shortly. But we got a lot more planned. But, yeah, give me your feedback. Let me know what you think.

1:11:43Rod Palmer Love to hear from you on it. But, yeah. You you got any closing remarks before we end this one? No. Just,

1:11:52Richard Greaser if you want like we said, just reiterate, if you want if you still need people to explain themselves to you, no matter what it is, what topic it is, I think at this point everybody has said what there is to be said already, you know what I mean? And, they published

1:12:15Richard Greaser all their thoughts from the most retarded to the most insightful. It's all been said. So if you still need somebody to explain it to you, you have to start a podcast and invite them on because the world is full of information at this point. You should be able to think for yourself. You shouldn't have to housework your thinking anymore, but if you still do, you have to start a podcast.

1:12:40Rod Palmer Absolutely. Well, guys, thank you for listening to this edition of the vehicle weekly, and we'll catch you on the next one.
