0:03Richard Greaser If you can't bother to filter CSAM from your node, the time chain police will filter you. Nobody should have to be prosecuted for running a Bitcoin node, and that is why if you are caught by a time chain police officer without filters, you will be filtered. I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving unless you are a spineless spammer who was attacking Bitcoin. If you are spamming, we will hunt you down without mercy. The Sistine Chapel is not something to deface you. Bitcoin fixes everything, and you are actively stopping everything from being fixed. For those who have their filters up, you have nothing to fear. Remember folks, filter up or you will be filtered.

0:37Rod Palmer Folks, we are getting into my favorite time of the year. It is the holiday season, and boy, is it ripping. The holidays are about getting together with your family members, the ones that don't listen to Bitcoin podcast and hearing all their opinions on the world, not informed by

0:57Rod Palmer Bitcoin podcast. And it's you know, some people get frustrated by it. I find it fascinating. I love to hear my family members' opinions on the world, uninformed by Bitcoin podcast. They it's it's it's a way to aggregate

1:15Rod Palmer information from all the various, you know, like Fox News, CNN, whatever. And the holiday gatherings are essentially a mosh pit where people's opinions being formed by the television or whatever news platform, they get together and they argue with each other about whatever. But beyond that

1:37Rod Palmer is also something special that happens is you get past eventually, for the most part. You know, once in a while, in some circumstances, people get so wound up and angry that they just can't reconcile their differences in, CIA programming. But once in a while,

1:55Rod Palmer they get past it and they realize, oh, these other people are more similar to me than I thought, even though they've got different opinions on things. And, I gotta say this Thanksgiving was absolutely delight delightful. It was wonderful,

2:12Rod Palmer to hear all the different opinions on the world around us. You know Right. The

2:21Richard Greaser opinions of family met so we know about this concept of uncontacted tribes and it's like people in these tribes that live in the Brazilian rainforest and they have they've never seen technology, they've never been exposed to modernity and this is like similar to our family members they are uncontacted pledge they have not listened to Bitcoin podcasts yet they have been completely

2:43Richard Greaser un, introduced to the world of Bitcoin podcasts and you get to meet them and it's like meeting these un contacted tribes like they're just spouting these languages and jarring and like you can't understand them they get really excited about when when there's like these bright lights and like, you know, inst instigative, commentary on TV, whether it's Fox News or MSNBC, and they get really riled up and they start jumping up and down, kind of like the natives with their spears when you're when you're pulling up on your canoe to contact them for the first time, and they just get real wild. And and then you slowly introduce Bitcoin podcasts to them and that can help calm them down and lower their time preference or you know sometimes you just get to connect with them on a person on a peer to peer basis and you realize like these people

3:32Richard Greaser completely devoid of understanding the the difficulty adjustment, thermodynamic, but they're still people and they still have souls and they're still like really you know they have they're just like us, and it's it's a really good experience and it's you know, you talk about we've been so, like, deeply siloed into this, like, almost echo chamber of plebslop and, like, Nazis versus Corominis and these these our family members have these same

4:01Richard Greaser divides and you know my family for example is the biggest divide at Thanksgiving isn't politics it isn't money it's do you like bread stuffing or cornbread stuffing and like this this this battle between who the type of stuffing that people eat is as vicious and brutal

4:23Richard Greaser as the Corvinas versus the Nazis and the biggest the biggest conflict we had this weekend or this holiday week was, one of my cousins told told grandma that her cornbread stuffing was pep slop and he wanted to eat the the traditional bread stuffing and like somebody almost threw the cranberry sauce across the the table we had to calm everybody down it was it was it was wild but at the end of the day just like you said everybody kind of came together they settled down once they were kind of in their tirty, trip to fan comas or like getting close to it everybody was was able to connect and have like a real human experience but it was a great it was a great Thanksgiving but I think right now

5:05Richard Greaser more than ever in the forest turning these these family gatherings do start out a little bit a little bit heated until everybody kind of gets works the energy out of their system and and and finds ways to connect with each other.

5:20Rod Palmer Yeah. It's I mean, it I I love the holidays because it's such a it's such a good source of entropy for me. It's it's the only time of the year when I'm with my family that, I watch sports ball, and I see the commercials Mhmm. On what's t whatever the commercials are on TV. And,

5:43Rod Palmer so I learned about some new pharmaceuticals that I never heard about. And,

5:49Richard Greaser I honestly hard to pronounce.

5:51Rod Palmer Yeah. I I honestly didn't pay that close attention, but, because I was having a good time. But, yeah, I mean, so we, my wife and I, we we hosted our family. We had a bunch of, you know, aunts and uncles and cousins come over, and, I spent a lot of time with my nephew, Jimmy. I've been trying to mentor him because he has fallen head over heels for the plug slot. He's a new Bitcoiner.

6:20Rod Palmer He's obsessed. He just read the the big slot by Lawrence Lepard, and and I I told him, my wife and I told him, you are not allowed to pep slop at Thanksgiving.

6:34Rod Palmer And you can see you you know that meme of the guy with, like, the vein bulging out of it?

6:41Richard Greaser Yeah, exactly. He's sitting there, he looks like he's trying to hold it, you know, it's either he's trying it I think the main picture he's trying not to fart next to a cute girl or something he's trying to hold it in his veins popping but it's like trying not to spew club slops like when somebody mentions you know like this so my family there was no club sloppers big winners but I heard about this and like I wonder if you're experiencing the same somebody in the family had mentioned a rock in the backyard it was a big black rock they had put next to their pool but they said the word black rock and like just the amount of like klebslop that just like comes to you like Yeah, the institutions are coming they know send it send it and hold them that back

7:19Richard Greaser It, it, your nephew must have been just absolutely sweating it out.

7:25Rod Palmer We, we had to take a break. I, I had to walk him outside and have a cigarette with him in the middle of the meal because, my cousin Sarah was sitting there complaining about how expensive turkey is and how it's, like, 25 27% more expensive than last year. You could just see the vein bulging in his head. Just he he just wanted we we got out to sigh it or we got outside and he just screamed, Bitcoin fixes this.

7:55Richard Greaser And this is this is the vanity. There's so many different values and so many different benefits from smoking cigarettes. And we've we've enumerated these values and benefits multiple times on the show but one of them is perfect for when Grandpa gets riled up about politics when your when your nephew gets riled up and wants to talk about Club Slop at the dinner table you just take time, step outside, you smoke cigarette, you lower your time preference. That is another benefit of smoking cigarettes.

8:29Rod Palmer Absolutely.

8:32Richard Greaser One of the things that we do at my household during the holidays is we watch old classic movies Christmas Vacation, Die Hard, etcetera, etcetera. And one of the things you notice and you and you discuss as a family some people you know they sit around the Christmas tree on Christmas morning and they and they read the bible the the the first Christmas story or they sit around the Thanksgiving table

8:57Richard Greaser and they talk about what they're thankful for. And one of the things we do as a family is we sit and we watch like a movie like Die Hard. In the movie Die Hard, it opens up and he gets off a plane and the first thing he's walking to the airport terminal, he like pulls out a cigarette and he lights it and he starts smoking. We sit around and we talk about the glory days in The United States and in the world in general, when you could still smoke in an airport, you could still smoke on an airplane, you could still smoke in public places indoors. And we talk about how much better the world was when you could still smoke inside.

9:29Rod Palmer Absolutely. Well, I can tell you at the Greaser household, everybody was smoking. I mean, it's kind of incredible when you have, like, 20 people over and everybody's smoking cigarettes inside, How wonderful it is. It's a it's a awesome environment to be in for sure. Like it it it really felt like it was, but, you know, despite all the non informed opinions that were being shared,

9:57Rod Palmer it really was like a citadel of freedom for a day.

10:03Richard Greaser Amen. So I did not have I don't have an orange pilled nephew who, for better or worse, likes to talk about Club Slop. But what I do have, is a broccoli haircut nephew.

10:17Richard Greaser And he came and wanted to talk about Zcash and, me and some of the other uncles, we had to take him out back we had to do a old, you know, a broccoli haircut beatdown and he had to take him out behind the shed and beat his ass and tell him not to talk about Zcash. You know, it's it's understandable to one, talk about plet slap at the dinner table even though it's not allowed

10:39Richard Greaser But, you know, just bringing Zcash conversation into the into the thing in the household, we we could not allow that. Like, if Pledger found out that I had family members talking about Zcash at the at the Thanksgiving dinner table, un unchecked. Like, I would never live that down.

10:57Rod Palmer What do you think's worse? Family member talking about Zcash, talking about paper Bitcoin, talking about meme coins?

11:06Richard Greaser I think Zcash, honestly. I mean, XRP, that's a tough one. Back in back in split families. But Zcash is the in in XRP, they're they're very similar in the fact that you don't have a broccoli or a cut nephew showing up or, you know, a cousin showing up talking about one of those two things if they have not been, propagandized and exploited by VCs.

11:31Richard Greaser Because you know they're only hearing about those things on the timeline because of VC money. And it's just it's it's like it's like having your your niece come over and she's talking about an OnlyFans it's like, you've just got you just got exploited by the commercial for turning like it's you hate to see it. Somebody comes over talking about meme coins it's like, hey, that's their social security. That's how they're expecting to retire someday. Or they talk about paper Bitcoin, you know, that is a, you know, some of us have c coiners in our family. It was like, you know, we don't love the fact that there's c coiners, but we're we're not gonna disown a Zoo Coiner just because he's a Zoo Coiner.

12:08Richard Greaser But talking about Zcash and XRP, that is, it's on the parents to prevent that type of thing, but so sometimes it's almost like you have to have a talk with with their aunt or with their with their mom and dad and be like, listen, you gotta get ahold of your kid. Like, they are getting exposed to the worst things on the Internet.

12:30Rod Palmer Absolutely. Yeah. I I had, I I shut it down pretty quickly, but I had, my my aunt Phyllis, her her husband, John, was trying to tell me that Satoshi was Jeffrey Epstein, and that's why XRP was a better coin. And I just, you know, kinda nodded my head

12:56Rod Palmer and just walked away. I was like, okay. Cool. Boom. There's no there's always a family member like that that you gotta deal with.

13:06Richard Greaser For sure. One benefit, although it wasn't all good news this last week, one benefit that we did get I mean, if you've seen the we're recording this Monday morning. One benefit, you know, in the prices crashing, it brought it down as Dieter Bot predicted. But one benefit we had, this week was that Bitcoin did pump from 80 to about 92 ks, just in time for all those to be there with their families.

13:33Richard Greaser And if somebody tried to, like, talk shit about the Bitcoin price action, it was it's easy to shoot down. It's like we're up 10%, 12% in the past week and they didn't really have a response to that but it wasn't all good news there was some bad news, a former Afghan

13:54Richard Greaser death squad CIA recruit kind of went kind of went ape shit in Washington, D. C. And he shot a couple of National Guard members and one of them has, reportedly, you know, deceased. So

14:10Richard Greaser this was a big topic. I don't did your family to chat about this or did they know about this? Because my family did.

14:18Rod Palmer Yeah. It was in it was interesting because, you know, I got the news of it before anybody, and I I mentioned it. It's just, you know, it kind of curated information. So I get notifications when, you know, noteworthy things happen to pay attention to. And, you know, they they got a the information about an hour after I did and,

14:41Rod Palmer you know, proceeded to immediately turn on the TV to, you know, hear the news broadcasters talk about it. It was pretty fascinating watching their responses. You know, the only thing I could think of is, you know, I I had this incredible experience, because I was researching aliens a while ago in Area 51,

15:05Rod Palmer and that led me to Annie Jacobson. I don't know if you've ever heard of her, but she's, she's a great journalist. And one of the most disappointing things that about, you know, United States foreign policy, you know, and these secret bases

15:24Rod Palmer is realizing that Area 51, you know, whether they have aliens or not, who knows? You know, it's hard to wade through all the psy ops. But one of the the use cases of Area 51 was training these Afghans,

15:42Rod Palmer these these, you know, warlords who were child predators, and they were engaging in predatory activities, like, very aggressive, violent, predatorial activities

15:59Rod Palmer on children at Area 51 with the full knowledge of what was happening to their, you know, American supervisors. And,

16:13Rod Palmer seeing this happen, you know, seeing the war on terror, you know, just the the repercussions of it is, you know, it's it's it's unfortunate to watch, but, you know, the Trump administration, they didn't they didn't even blink an eye. It was a huge opportunity for them. So they they announced immediately that they were deploying another 500,

16:38Rod Palmer you know, National Guards members and, you know, the the family there there was mixed responses. Some of them were, you know, upset and they couldn't believe it. Some of them were just, like, I don't know what to think. And then some of them were like Well this is weird. Like, why why do why are these national guards people so much more important than other people that are getting

17:04Richard Greaser murdered every single day? Well, you know, it was the the topic du jour in my household is like my is very pro ICE, very anti immigrant, was, you know, we need to get these immigrants out. But you look into the story, and so this this guy, he was 29 years old at the time of the shooting, but he was recruited

17:25Richard Greaser when he was 15 years old, to kill for the CIA, and he was assigned to a death squad run by the Trump drug lord in Afghanistan, who was at the time and for the longest time the president like the leader of the post Afghan, war after the Taliban and Hamid Karzai

17:46Richard Greaser and his soul was destroyed murdering innocent people on behalf of El Karzai's pedophile heroin cartel and he did that for a decade or so more than a decade and then he was brought to live in the in an alienated hell world,

18:02Richard Greaser of The United States who've been in Washington actually Washington state and you know with the predictors I mean they brought this like his soul was destroyed he worked and he knew this like if you listen to, Daryl Cooper's, podcast about like

18:20Richard Greaser I think Epstein is the main topic of the podcast but they talk about what was going on in Afghanistan and like these these these pedophile cartels that regarding the poppy fields that ran the poppy production and he was forced to work for them he was forced to see the heinous like just the brutal corruption and pedophilia of these cartels that they you know continued and then he came to The United States thinking all right I'm going to the West I'm going to where they make Hollywood movies everything's free everything's great and he gets here and just imagine the demoralization

18:57Richard Greaser to find out when he moves to The United States like this is the epicenter if if Jerusalem, if Israel is the epicenter of like the cultural battle for mankind's soul and religion, The United States is the epicenter for the pedophilic cartels that run the world

19:16Richard Greaser and for him to get here in just a demoralization that no matter how far away he got for Kandahar no matter how far away he got from these poppy fields in these in these CIA petal cartels that he would never ever escape the dystopian like housecape that that he grew up in. He thought it was bad in Afghanistan, he comes to The United States like this is the whole foundation of The United States western culture

19:41Richard Greaser is built on these cartels and just he snapped me like this is not in any way I mean he he should be he should probably be executed for for what he did to you know in this shooting but you the point is none of these people are gonna come here and assimilate and be okay

19:60Richard Greaser when they come from these devastating corrupt pedophilic empires and they come to it and it's just it's pedophiles in suits when they get to United States and they get to Washington.

20:13Rod Palmer Well, if he was 15 years old when he was in that, CIA death squad, he was definitely probably getting abused by his supervisors.

20:24Richard Greaser Yeah. Absolutely. It's like it's terrible.

20:28Rod Palmer Yeah. I mean, it's, you know, you know, like, it's interesting to see, you know, people's, you know, rationalization of the the pedophilic ruling class. Like, there's there's a lot of people that are like, oh, it's just, you know, pedophilia,

20:45Rod Palmer you know, something you gotta deal with. You just gotta sacrifice these children to Moloch and you know? But this this is an example of, you know, the consequences of that behavior. Like, it's not like it doesn't have any

21:01Rod Palmer negative repercussions, but

21:05Richard Greaser Right. It's one thing to sacrifice the children of your society to Moloch, and then there be some perceived benefit. But when you're sacrificing your children to Moloch and turkeys are 20% more expensive at Thanksgiving, when you're sacrificing your children to Moloch and the airplanes you try to get on don't even take off or if they do the engines explode and they have to do an emergency you never even get to your destination if you're sacrificing your children to Moloch and your your city is riddled with crime

21:36Richard Greaser and and just just you know there's people nodding out on fentanyl on the streets it's like what are we doing what are we sacrificing our children to Moloch for only to have a worse society like I thought sacrificing our children to a pagan god was supposed to make things better, not worse.

21:56Rod Palmer Yeah. I mean, it's, you know, it's interesting because that a lot of people claim that The United States is a Christian society. And yet many of these Christians are so okay with the worship of these, you know, pagan gods and, you know, one of one of the reasons why or what just a theme through the Bible in the Old Testament is is God getting super pissed off At the Israelites.

22:23Rod Palmer Every time they start worshiping, Moloch and sacrificing children. Like, there's there's he gets pissed. He burns or just lets him get destroyed,

22:36Rod Palmer you know, by their enemies. And you you think that you would hope that these people that sit in church every week, you know, hearing these stories would be a little bit more aware of the the consequences. God's gonna be pissed at you. God doesn't Right. God doesn't appreciate pedophilia. But they they don't

22:58Richard Greaser How how often do how long do you have to sit in church week after week and and read the Old Testament and learn that all the Israelites did in the entire Old Testament was make God grumpy? And like think that following their example, following the stuff that made God grumpy, like that that's gonna make life better for you.

23:20Rod Palmer Well, I think it's it's really a testament to the power of MK Ultra. Like, this is the this is, I think, what the CIA, you know, with those experiments, what they were trying to, you know, figure out is how how can they manufacture consent amongst a bunch of Christian people to sacrifice children to Moloch? And it seems like they're successful. And so the question is is, like, what do what do you do deal with the after effects or the aftermath? Like, how do you deprogram,

23:48Rod Palmer these people? And and I don't think there's a there's a very clear answer to it because they'll they'll look at the consequences and they'll just, you know, it's the Democrats' fault.

24:03Richard Greaser Well, it is the Democrats' fault, but it's also the Republicans' fault. And until both sides take responsibility for their actions that are making God grumpy, things are not gonna get better in the West, in the East, in the Global South, anywhere.

24:20Rod Palmer Yeah. I mean, they I I think one of the, you know, takeaways if we're gonna use the Bible as, kind of reference point is I I just don't think people take, you know, responsibility.

24:33Richard Greaser It's the reference implementation. Let's just let's just call the Bible the reference implementation. That's, like, a good, mapping to the current discussion.

24:45Rod Palmer Yeah. If you're using the Bible as a reference implementation, like, it it's just like one of the lessons over and over again is that people don't take responsibility until it's too late. Like, they need they need to experience consequences for their their actions. And, you know, most of the heroes in the stories in the of the Bible are the people that like, you look at Noah.

25:12Rod Palmer People often refer to Bitcoin as life raft.

25:16Richard Greaser Noah Noah Noah's Ark, not Noah from Scardust. Right? Yeah. That's correct.

25:22Rod Palmer Noah's pretty great from Scardust, though. But, yeah, I mean, no no one in the bible, like, you know, he was he was the Bitcoin podcast listener in a lot of ways, and he was trying to tell everybody, Bitcoin fixes this. Get on the get on the ark. And, they all were like, oh, no. You're stupid. We wanna play around with XRP. We want a shitcoin instead. And,

25:46Richard Greaser Tether will will serve will save us.

25:49Rod Palmer And the the flood came, and guess what? The shitcoiners got wiped out. But, like, it's they weren't willing to take on any sort of, you know, personal responsibility, and they had to deal with the consequences. I think, unfortunately, there's gonna be in the short turning, there's a ton of collateral damage that's that's currently happening. I think one of the things

26:13Rod Palmer and this is why around the holidays, when you're with your family members that don't listen to podcasts, I think it's really important to just, like, be really patient and empathetic with them because you have to realize that they're traumatized. Their brains are broken. They're really hurting right now. They're really scared.

26:33Rod Palmer Their cortisol is just, like, through the roof. And, you know, just hitting them with this is why I banned my nephew from Plebslop. It was like, yes. I know that Bitcoin fixes this, but, like, it's it's not helping the situation by telling them. Like, they they cannot comprehend. They cannot hear this. They're not they're in a fight or flight spot, and you giving them the answers is actually gonna make them less likely

27:01Rod Palmer to take any of the ideas that you're saying seriously. Like, you just have to you have to be really patient. You have to be secure. Like, one one of the things that's nice about, you know, actually have a conviction and what you believe in is when people attack

27:19Rod Palmer your ideas, like, you don't you don't have to get offended. Because it's just like, alright. Like, you know, you'll deal with the consequences. Like, if you don't wanna listen to me, you don't wanna believe with me. That's that's your problem. It's not my problem. Like, I don't this isn't an attack on me. Like, I just believe this is true, and I have a lot of conviction. Like, I've done the work. I listen to forty hours of Bitcoin podcast a week. I actually understand what I'm talking about, and you don't. And you having a stupid, uninformed opinion on the subject and thinking that XRP is better or what, you know, whatever it is, or Zcash,

27:52Rod Palmer it just it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. Like, you're the one that has to bear the consequences of your decisions, not me. I don't have to bear the consequences of your decisions because I I can set boundaries with you. But,

28:10Rod Palmer it's like, you know, we're we're gonna have to figure out this thing, you know, because, you know, there's a there's a reality that the the the Bitcoin podcast listener might be, you know, some of the richest people in the future. And

28:27Rod Palmer how do how do you deal with the family that's demanding universal basic income from the one guy that was listening to Bitcoin podcast? Like, how how are you gonna deal with that?

28:39Richard Greaser People have done a lot of reparations from podcast from Bitcoin podcasters and podcast listeners.

28:47Rod Palmer I I think we have to, you know, front run this of, like, we didn't do you harm by us listening to podcasts and you not.

28:58Richard Greaser All we did was try to help you. We we were an ella. We're trying to get you on the ark. We're, like, listen to forty hours of Bitcoin podcast per week. Please. We tried to help you. You got washed away in the flood of fiat, the flood of fake news, the flood of club slop. We tried to get you on the ark. Like, you you cannot turn around

29:21Richard Greaser and and blame us for rebooting what you've said.

29:27Rod Palmer You chose to listen to the the pedophilic drug cartel CIA instead of the credentialed journalist Bitcoin podcaster. I don't know what to tell you. Yeah. Like,

29:41Richard Greaser you've sold your your family legacy down the drain by not listening to podcasts. Like, your grandchildren will ever forget them.

29:50Rod Palmer But, yeah, I mean, it's it's I I I do think it's really important, you know, when you when you show up for for Thanksgiving. Because it it it's really easy to respond poorly to these individuals that are very activated and stressed out

30:13Rod Palmer in a negative way. And this is why a good smoking break is an effective strategy. Just go outside, walk around, might be cold, enjoy the cold, watch your breath, look at some trees or something,

30:30Rod Palmer look at the snow, and take take a minute. Just breathe. You start to get stressed out with your family, just go outside, breathe. Like, you you don't have to like, it's I think

30:44Richard Greaser If nothing else, smoking a cigarette is a cognizant or is a conscious reminder to take a deep breath, to exhale, to focus on your breathing.

30:57Rod Palmer Exactly. Like, it it's your opportunity to show up and be some sort of semblance of sanity in the four turning when when people are just, you know, run around like chickens with their heads cut off. Fortunately fortunately, my family is not that bad, but I I hear a lot of stories of other people's families that are pretty, you know, out there losing their minds right now.

31:21Rod Palmer And it's, is it it's bad. You know, like, when your when your sister is or family members lecturing you about, you know, socialism or, you know, whatever,

31:35Rod Palmer just nod your head. Be like, okay. Is this, like, the because here's the thing, folks, that you have to realize. And and there's some there's some exceptions for this where, you know, individuals are actually doing things that that matter. But but most of your family members

31:55Rod Palmer and their political opinions will have absolutely zero impact on the world. Their opinions don't matter. They're just regurgitating the fiat plex lot.

32:08Richard Greaser That's why they're so angry. That's why they're so upset, is they know that they have no impact, some of them.

32:17Rod Palmer You don't you don't have to be offended by it. Like, it it it it's family's important. It's something that's incredibly important. And, I think the exciting thing about listening to Bitcoin podcast and and and, you know, interacting with Bitcoin is it gives you an opportunity to to show up for your family. Like, you if you believe in what you believe, you don't have to be insecure about people disagreeing with you.

32:46Richard Greaser Speaking of, dysfunctional families and opinions that will never have any impact on the world whatsoever, it seems that the the knots movement, bit 44

33:01Richard Greaser bit $4.04 4, excuse me, seems like that's dead. Seems like that was dead on arrival. They pushed back the activation. As Aaron Redwing pointed out that, like, that was a bad move. Like, there's gonna be a lot of shifts. The fourth turning is really gonna kick into high gear in February and it was time to, you know, shit or get off the pot, so to speak, but they it's there's too much they didn't give they're not getting any consensus. They're just continuing the plump slop. It seems it just it seems like a dead move, Benteens. Does that does that vibe with what you're you're picking up over there?

33:40Rod Palmer Yeah. I think it's been dead for a while. I think the, the discussion's gonna keep on going even though there's no real seriousness to it. And the the reason why it's gonna keep on going is because Ocean still has money to, sponsor

33:60Rod Palmer conferences and and get Luke and mechanic on panels to argue with people. And because people like Rob Hamilton and Shinobi just they cannot control themselves. They have to dunk on the Nazis, so they're gonna get the feedback. You know, mister Hoddle,

34:19Rod Palmer you know, hasn't had enough. But, yeah. I mean, I I think it's pretty dead. I mean, it it'll be interesting to see what happens when Telmer comes back from his Twitter vacation to see if he can, drum up.

34:34Richard Greaser It's December 1. He should be back today.

34:37Rod Palmer Yeah. It's gonna be fascinating to see what that I I just I I think they've lost the podcasters.

34:44Richard Greaser Oh, yeah. Yeah. That's that seems pretty clear. I don't I don't know any podcast that gets over a dozen downloads per episode that's on their side.

34:56Rod Palmer So yeah. I don't know. I mean, it's just they'll they'll they'll continue to be grumpy plabs. They'll continue to be, you know, post about it. I mean, I I just don't see it. Like, there's still people that are angry and upset, you know, posting about how Bitcoin Cash is the real Bitcoin in the year 2025.

35:17Richard Greaser Right. You know, we we beat the dead horse at Pub Slop over and over on this episode on this, podcast, but it's been you know, some people have, ascribed, like, the rise of Plebslop to Michael Saylor,

35:34Richard Greaser some have blamed others, but, you know, doing some investigative journalism, I've been able to source it back to really, like, the proliferation of ubiquitous pepslop probably goes back to around August,

35:50Richard Greaser and if you remember in August, Dennis Porter had the most hyped announcement that he's ever that he's ever had that he's ever made and it turned out to be what you know a lot of the community called a nothing burger. He was just announcing that he supported, a Democrat in California who was running for governor who was accepting Bitcoin, for his campaign donations that he was pro Bitcoin and the people really, really I mean they had a huge,

36:19Richard Greaser reaction spaces with, the Wolf of Wall Street or the excuse me, the Wolf of Wall Streets, the crypt there guy Scott Melker and a few others. And it turned out that he embar that Dennis Porter embarrassed them. They felt embarrassed by the announcement. They called him Nothing Burger. They bullied Dennis Porter pretty much off the timeline ever since. And since that day,

36:41Richard Greaser since Dennis Porter stopped pre announcing pre announcements of announcements, the timeline just devolved into pure Plebslot. There was no, you know some some people wave like we talked about Joe Carlos, sorry, he puts on a suit

36:59Richard Greaser to host spaces and that just dignity, the self respect of putting on a suit to host spaces for, see, it's just a very small microcosm It's just like it prevents pure chaos from devolving into just nonsense

37:14Richard Greaser and people having no self respect. Like, Dennis Porter put on us Dennis Porter puts on seats to make announcements on Twitter and and he makes announcements. He takes himself very very seriously and that seriousness leads to a certain level of a floor, so to speak, of, of dignity and without that,

37:35Richard Greaser it's all devolved into Plevs a lot. People just don't even care about the respect, their self respect, their reputation, their legitimacy, and, County Umrah, I mean, is is the the lack of Dennis Porter. Is Dennis Porter being MIA not

37:55Richard Greaser a good reason to say that, like, this is the cause of the plug slot acceleration?

38:01Rod Palmer Well, I think so we've been seeing a lot of people, a lot of grumpy Nazis post about how the price dip is a result of Core thirty launching. And I think it's more a result of Dennis

38:19Rod Palmer having a hiatus because the the if if the Plebs need one thing, it's they need bullish announcements. And there's been a huge vacuum that's happened. I I wouldn't count Dennis out of the fight

38:35Rod Palmer at all. I think he's out there. He he's out there orange peeling politicians, but I think he got frustrated with Twitter because they they weren't able to appreciate his announcement. They were they weren't able to appreciate all he does for Bitcoin. And so he just stepped away for a minute.

38:56Rod Palmer It was just like, alright. I'll let you guys see what Bitcoin's like without me. And this is what Bitcoin without Dennis Porter is like, what we're experiencing right now. You just you've got, like, you know, Rizzo, unfortunately, in all of his, you know, top tier plexolop,

39:19Rod Palmer it it it just it it's not a supplement or a replacement for Dennis Porter announcements, to say the least.

39:29Richard Greaser There is no replacement for Dennis Porter announcements, unfortunately. At least we don't owe one yet. So you know maybe maybe maybe Dennis returns in 2026 maybe not but one of the consequences the second order effects whatever you want to call it of the Plebslop was

39:49Richard Greaser you know, or maybe Core 30, if the Nazis are correct, is the price dip. And this means that if Bitcoin has a rally in December, we are looking at the opportunity of a second straight New Year's Eve one hundred ks party at Salish Nanchen on his yacht. And

40:10Richard Greaser all the people who missed out, all the people who had FOMO last year because they couldn't go to the hundred ks party, this is their year. I mean, this could be an all pled one hundred ks party. We could have, like, the the toxic pled happy hour reunion on sailor's yacht, meme gangs could be invited. It could be a great it could be a great time. And one of the people who's been out in front of us trying to make sure he doesn't miss the invite this year is Tatum friend of the show Tatum Turnip and I think it'd be great. I think this would be the perfect

40:43Richard Greaser perfect opportunity, the perfect setting, the perfect format for Tatum to finally meet Aubrey Strobel at the National Hunter Tate party.

40:52Rod Palmer I'm gonna be very interested to see who gets invited. I think there's there's some ones that definitely won't get invited. Hottomague, not getting invited.

41:05Richard Greaser I don't think anybody who or any platter is not gonna be invited, but I don't think anybody who was grumpy during paper Bitcoin summer should be invited to the hundred ks party. I think the hundred ks party is for people who embraced and were joyful and gleeful during the hundred ks or during the paper Bitcoin summer. I don't think Matt Kratter's getting invited this year. He was there last year. I don't think Justin Beschley's getting invited.

41:34Rod Palmer I don't think Luke or mechanic are getting invited.

41:38Richard Greaser Absolutely not. Those guys are buzzkills. But, you know, if Tatum does go, I I made a tweet about this last week. I need we need to make sure that somebody from Bives Capital is is on point for making sure that Tatum has a nice suit, knows how to tie his tie, isn't wearing a clip on tie.

42:00Richard Greaser I mean the last thing, listen, the last thing Vyde's capital needs is for Tatum to show Tatum cannot show up to the Hunter Kei party in his wrinkly church clothes cannot have Tatum showing up in his wrinkly Lee dungarees the Tatum has to look good he's got a she's got to cut his broccoli haircut he's got to stop trying to look like irritates

42:20Richard Greaser He needs to he needs to look sharp. I mean, Tatum could look like I mean, he already does kind of look like, there's the comedian, the Bitcoin comedian everybody loves. The guy from Silicon Valley. TJ Miller. Yeah. Tatum kinda looks like TJ Miller, and he has a chance to be a better people might think he's TJ Miller at the hundred k party this year if TJ doesn't show up.

42:45Richard Greaser This is a real He has a chance to impress Aubrey. That's my big point.

42:49Rod Palmer This was a real problem at the last, hundred k party is, I think Maggie Morris did an article about it doing the fashion review, and, there were a lot of people that just didn't they weren't ready for prime time. They weren't ready to, dress their part, you know, for that occasion.

43:09Rod Palmer And, there there needs to be some education on how to acquire a tailored suit, how to show up prepared for these types of events, these high profile events.

43:23Richard Greaser It's just Even if he's unemployed now, like, somebody needs to bring back the cobbler for the one hundred ks party just to just to make sure people's shoes are looking good. I mean, and here's the thing, it it comes down to this. Lead by example. Michael Saylor wears the same black t shirt with a little Bitcoin Core logo on his chest I mean, how how are people not pointing that out? That Michael Saylor wears the same shirt every single day and it is the Bitcoin Core logo? It's the black it's the black background with the white Bitcoin circle on it

43:55Richard Greaser He's the core supporter, but he This is, this is the, like, the core slop, the dad slop, the way that Michael Saylor dresses. He encourages people to show up in a Bitcoin t shirt with a sparse jacket instead of wearing a tuxedo. The best dressed people last year were tuxedo were wearing tuxedos like, like Rob Hamilton, Dennis Porter,

44:19Richard Greaser Nico from Simply. I mean, P Rizzo. These guys actually dressed well for the party. The women, they had beautiful dresses. Isabelle looked pretty. She looked very,

44:32Richard Greaser very, very beautiful. And you just can't show up in in in your wrinkly dungarees. Well, I have faith in your car got shorts.

44:41Rod Palmer I have faith in Tatum this time. He is recently started working for CleanSpark, which is a little bit more serious of a company than, Compass Mining. And, I think he, you know, with that, he's making a little bit of

44:59Rod Palmer a change, becoming more more professional. Or at least, that that's kinda what I'd expect from him. So I think he'll he'll be prepared. Like, he he realizes he can't be a a total scrub if he's gonna ever have any chance with, Aubrey Strobel. Well, you got you got anything else before we, jump in the fountain boost?

45:23Richard Greaser No. Let's get to the boost. First reduced. I'll I'll start, I guess. It's from our buddy, Otis Otis Bittmeyer. Best coffee in the world, honestly.

45:36Richard Greaser 10,420 sats per day from the frontier, friends. The opening meditation by Senior Palmer from the Club Slop Tsunami episode was perfection. Thank you. In other news, I wanna make a take a moment to highlight how beneficial it can be to stack forty hours per week of silence on top of the recommended weekly podcast regimen. In my experience, silence is the fiber I need to help the info digest smoothly, thereby avoiding slopped area. Keep building friends.

46:07Richard Greaser And that's a great that's a great point. Forty hours of Bitcoin podcasts, I think, is, like, just a minimum we recommend. But once you kinda get some sort of, conditioning and you're able to kind of lower your time preference enough, like, it is absolutely fundamental to

46:27Richard Greaser supplement your forty hours per week with, forty hours of silence or, you know, another way to put this is meditation. Meditate on the now, listen to the podcast, project the to to to see the future, to visualize, conceptualize what the future is gonna look like, and then meditate and stay in the present. Keep yourself grounded in the now because the now is the only thing that matters.

46:52Rod Palmer Yeah. You need you need time to integrate all the information that you learn. That's where the the change really happens in the integration process. So that's, some great advice from Otis. I I started my morning out this morning and most mornings with some Otis Bittmeyer coffee. I think he's got a new batch coming out here pretty soon for anybody that's looking to, get some awesome coffee. You can find him on Nostr.

47:21Rod Palmer I think his handle is peace monger, if you wanna look him up.

47:27Richard Greaser Yep. And just just be aware, forty hours of silence meditation per week, that is a lot. So do you not don't try and jump in full force. There's no 2x, 1.5x speed that you can, like, when you can listen to podcasts and get more hours in. There's nothing, you can't do that with, meditation and silence. You can't speed it up. There's no shortcuts. It's, it's really

47:51Richard Greaser in I hate to put it this way because it it makes the vasamas appealing but it's a struggle, it is a suffering that must be overcome to do forty hours of silence and meditation per week. But the suffering and the silence and the struggle is kind of the point. So don't overdo it. Don't don't drive yourself crazy doing forty hours per week of silence right off the bat. Work your way up to

48:15Rod Palmer Absolutely. Well, thanks, Otis. Next boost, Jason c, 2112 says, been a while since I boosted, and happy Thanksgiving to you both and the rest of the pioneers in my life. Thanks, Jason.

48:33Rod Palmer Jason, the cohost of Back on the Chain, just had, I was just listening to their most recent episode with, this guy named Dan Webb who did, who's the cohost of High Hash Rate, which was the first podcast I ever went on. And,

48:55Rod Palmer with, his other cohost, this guy named Mike, who's who's pretty awesome. He's doing some cool videos with Simply Bitcoin.

49:03Richard Greaser The Mike's been on the show. Mike was Mike was Mike's been on the behind the podcast. I, unfortunately, I was invited to go on high hash rate before they went on a hiatus for a permanent or whatever they, it seems like they've they've stopped recording. Unfortunately, I never got to go on there, but High Ashery was a part of the forty hour per week network. It's a good show. There's some classic dangers on there.

49:28Richard Greaser So check that one out. Even the old episodes, there's still signal. But that was a good episode. It was, I think they I listened to that one. They they played it's a Phish podcast, but I think they were playing other music on there. So it's not just Phish and Bitcoin. There's it's it's broader than that. They had some JM bands on there. It's pretty cool.

49:49Rod Palmer Yeah. That was it was interesting listening to the episode with the background music. I know background music kinda gets weird if you're listening at a faster rate. If you're listening at, like, 1.5 to two x, the music sounds kinda funny in the background, but that that's,

50:07Rod Palmer that's okay. Who's this person? It was a good conversation. I may I may as high hash rate. That was a good podcast.

50:16Richard Greaser Next boost, 2,100 sats from Pleb and on. Terminal list look like some good broccoli haircut war propaganda. Definitely trying to make fighting the brown people seem cool.

50:32Rod Palmer Yeah. That's some that's some top tier war propaganda for sure. Terminal list is straight out of the CIA. It's pretty incredible. The the CIA's ability to make interesting, engaging

50:49Rod Palmer propaganda and kinda legitimize themselves. Because they they they're so good at framing. Like, they they paint this picture of what the CIA is and completely distract you from the fact that they're really just a bunch of drug traffickers and and child

51:08Rod Palmer abusers. You know, they they give you this this, you know, perspective of spies. You you I mean, it's you got terminalist. You got Mission Impossible. You got The Bourne series. You know, there's they what they do is they they suck you in with, like, conspiracies. So they're like, okay. So there's one bad faction of the CIA, and there's a good faction

51:31Rod Palmer fighting the bad faction. And they get you all caught up in the spy shit and completely ignore all the drug trafficking and and predatory predatorial

51:46Rod Palmer stuff going on. I mean, this the CIA is just the mafia and, they're they're a mafia that has the benefit of tax money and, they're really good at making movies. Like, I don't think,

52:05Rod Palmer you know, the mafia has made some pro mafia propaganda. Like, you got the Godfather movies and stuff like that, but not like the CIA. The CIA is it's it's just always cranking out one thing after another. You got terminal list. You got Lion. That's a new one. They're on it. But, yeah, I mean, it's pretty engaging. It's fun to watch. I don't know if you've seen that one.

52:31Richard Greaser No. No. I don't think I better check that out.

52:34Rod Palmer Well, thanks, Pleby Anon. OD 40 says for 2,100 asses, I'm thankful for Bach and the Bugle. Yeah.

52:46Rod Palmer Man, Bach is great. I gotta I gotta listen to company to be in. I gotta listen to some more classical music. I've been listening to a lot of Jesse Wells. I've been listening to a lot of Tyler Childers. Madax turned me on to Tyler Childers, and,

53:07Rod Palmer and he he's great. What what have you been listening to recently, Rob?

53:16Richard Greaser It's kind of, it's kind of a classical music mixed with clebslot pop music, but it actually sounds pretty good. Check out the Unsecret String Quartet. They cover a lot of pop songs, but they do it with the the the string quartet, and it sounds so much better than, the, you know, the

53:36Richard Greaser the three chord, you know, top beats. It's something worth checking out. I think it's a good, it's a good way to get like some of your normie family and friends, maybe your wife into some classical music if they're not already. It's a good, it's a good step into that actually. It's, it sounds silly, but it's actually really quite good.

53:58Richard Greaser Next one, twelve thirty four stats from our boy Bubba Happy dead animal feast today Well, happy dead animal feast day to you Bubba that is a I know and Bubba's awesome, and he doesn't mean it's Sway, but that's a very Reddit atheist board type post. It's kinda like the the when they talk about God as, like, the, vampire sky daddy. Happy dead animal feast day. It was a great happy dead animal feast day. Honestly, I love dead animals. I love eating them. I wish we had more dead animals to eat,

54:33Richard Greaser but I hope you had a good happy dead animal feast days too as well, Bubba. Hope you smoked lots of cigarettes and had a good time. And, miss you, man.

54:44Rod Palmer Yeah. I've been talking to Bubba a lot. I've been we we're bouncing songs back and forth that we're writing, and, he's been getting into writing again, which is, you know, awesome to hear. He got me all wound up the other night because he told me that I should try and sell

55:03Rod Palmer one of my songs that I I have not released yet. It's it's a super good song, but he told me I should try and sell it, as a songwriter like, to actually become a, you know, songwriter. And so I I I'm trying to figure out what that means and what the process of that looks like and even if I wanna do it. Because I I don't know. I mean, is it like, if I start engaging with the music machine, does that mean I have to go to Diddy parties? Or, like, you know, what what does this all entail? I'm trying to figure out, and I don't know. But,

55:42Rod Palmer really appreciate it, Bobo, a lot. Listen to the, two angry punts or punts podcast with, him and Sophie. It's a good one. Next boost Yeah. From Yeah. Knockhouse 18 8 100 8 says says, I'm thankful for Greaser Palmer and Beagle Nation. Live Aloha. Shaka.

56:04Richard Greaser There's one five hundred zats. Used to read a lot. And is, boost is just, two clinking cheers saying cheers. Cheers to you used to read a lot. The wife stopped reading, but, maybe it's taking time to listen forty hours. Bitcoin podcast per week took time away from your reading, but,

56:25Richard Greaser maybe he also reads a lot now. He is used to too. Maybe that's the old Mitch Hedberg chip.

56:33Rod Palmer Well, be maybe he read all the the Bitcoin books and just realized that most of them are just, aggregates for for all the pep slop. Like, you you know, you you read one. You read most of them. I mean, it's it's just, you get the history of money,

56:54Rod Palmer which is generally all the same, and then, you learn that Fiat's bad and Bitcoin fixes this and, you know, whatever. Maybe that's why he doesn't read anymore. It's just like, oh, all the Bitcoin books are the same.

57:13Rod Palmer Natalie Burnell just came out with her new book, Bitcoin is for Everyone. And, I'm not planning on reading it, but, I'd be interested to hear a review of it of, is it

57:30Rod Palmer I I think the title just implies it's just gonna be a lot of Plebslot. Thank you. You used to read a lot. Next, Bruce from Sasha, her favorite lawyer. 500 says, great show. Happy Thanksgiving. The broccoli haircuts I know are bullish on military. Sad.

57:50Richard Greaser This is sad. The table yard to fit the broccoli haircuts into those Kevlar helmets. But I think, and we talked about this before, I don't think that anything is gonna make boomers quite as happy as, those videos coming out from boot camp when they're shaving those disrespectful broccoli haircuts heads, getting rid of that broccoli haircut for a buzz cut for a high and tight, putting them out there, in the middle of the drone war.

58:15Richard Greaser Thank you, Sasha. Next boost 500 taps from Mana Wallet and that is the, Liquid Lighting Wallet by Adam Semeka. It's actually a pretty pretty good wallet. Honestly, you should check it out if you haven't already.

58:35Richard Greaser Mana says, Civil War. Interesting concept. Another banger episode. Thank you, Mano Wallet.

58:42Rod Palmer I use Mano Wallet.

58:45Richard Greaser It just made sense. So So do I. So do I.

58:48Rod Palmer I mean, why not use the, the Bitcoin wallet developed by the man with the highest IQ?

58:57Richard Greaser Imagine it's easy. No no brainer. Wow.

59:03Rod Palmer I was wondering where this guy I I meant to shoot him a message, see what he's up to, but, haven't gotten around to it yet. But next boost, a 121 sats from Pies. Three turkeys, three strong arms. Good to see you back, Pies.

59:18Richard Greaser Thanks for listening. Hell, yeah. We missed you. We missed you, buddy. Next one is, from BGC on board, All Faithful. Three thumbs up emojis and a salute. A 100 sats. Thank you, BGC on board.

59:32Rod Palmer Well, folks, thank you for listening to this edition of the Bugle Weekly. I hope you're getting ready for the holiday season. I hope you're getting ready for Christmas music. I hope you're having a good time.

59:48Rod Palmer I hope you had a great Thanksgiving. Let let us know if anybody, tried to deep fry a turkey. How did that go? Anyways, I'll catch we'll catch you on the next edition. Next week.

1:00:14Richard Greaser Yeah. Big things stopping. Big things stopping. Paper plates on the blockchain. Big cash out there, baby. Big things flopping. I ain't stuck in your chat. Try all heads free, but they talking flat. We move cold.

1:00:50Richard Greaser I was born

1:02:39Richard Greaser Still partying.
