0:11Timmy Tether Welcome to a very special episode of Plebs on Parade, the show where every pleb is a potential philosopher. I'm your host, Timmy Tether. And today, we're on location at the Great Wall Of China talking to Chinese plebs about Bitcoin podcasts. Are they good? Are they bad? What do Chinese plebs think? Today, we're on the Great Wall Of China just outside Fing Huotai. And for some of our listeners who are xenophobic, I'd like to ask you to please, just for today, put all your opinions about China and the communist party aside. These are plebs. Bitcoin podcasts are a pleb to pleb electronic signal system. Let's hear what they have to say. Our first pleb is Lee. Lee is from Hong Kong. Lee, what do you think about the Trump tariffs and their possible impact on Bitcoin podcast in the oldest kingdom in the world? Harold Timmy Tether. Donald Trump is trying to tariff a Chinese rice. But with this, the opportunity for Bitcoin podcast in a China is very rare. I am excited to listen to Robert Brittrough and to see my old friend, Michel Wicree, again. That was Lee from Hong Kong. Lee is not bullish on rice tariffs for his country's exports, but he is bullish

1:24Timmy Tether about finally finding out just exactly what is money and seeing his old friend, Michelle Weekly, again. Next, we're talking to Terrence from Pasadena, California. Terrence is back here in China, his homeland, considering repatriating if Bitcoin podcasts are made available in the country. Terrence, what are your thoughts on the Trump tariffs and the possibility of Bitcoin podcasts being uncensored in China?

1:48Terrence Timmy Tether, wrong time no see. I am very, very on Bitcoin podcasts in a China. President Xi will never draw David Bailey

1:60Terrence and Shinobi content to spoil the Chinese Bitcoin podcasts. No ordinals or shitcoin podcasts.

2:09Timmy Tether Bitcoin own re. There you have it. Terrence still has ordinals derangement syndrome, but it doesn't mean he doesn't have a good point. Terrence, do you still have Trump derangement syndrome? No comment, Timitether. Trump can suck on my boss. Wow. Pleb three is also named Lee. Lee is from Tianjin. Lee, Trump tariffs, are they a Trojan horse for Bitcoin podcasts? Are they good? Are they bad? Go. I am a Chinese podcaster.

2:34Lee I am no friend to Bitcoin podcasters. They will disrupt my industry. I support the great red firewall. I would, however, consider making a Bitcoin podcast if the right hardware wallet will be my sponsor.

2:50Timmy Tether There you go. Lee two is a protectionist, but he would consider loosening his stance if Cole Carter perhaps Bitbox would consider being his sponsor. That's all for this very special edition of Plebs on Parade. I'm your host, Timmy Tether. I am headed to Hong Kong for some succulent dim sum, but I'll be back in The USA in a few days. See you then.

3:33Kailey Welch Today, I'm announcing that on behalf of the Bugle, I am launching a trade war with love is bitcoin. Love is bitcoin ripped off one of Rod Palmer's shirts, and in retaliation, I am ripping off their entire brand. Libby is an ugly hoe who in no way can compete with me. That is why in partnership with Orange Label, I have started my own clothing line. If you go to loveisbitcoin.xyz, you will be able to buy the Kayley Welch forty hours per week biddies t shirt. I'm way hotter, smarter, and just overall and better than that basic bitch Libby. She is mid at best and doesn't smoke cigarettes, listen to forty hours per week of Bitcoin podcast, or drive drunk.

4:11Kailey Welch Anyways, you are listening to the Bugle Weekly, the most thermodynamic

4:20Rod Palmer Welcome back to the Bugle Weekly. This is Rod Palmer, credentialed journalist with my cohost, the managing editor of Bugle News, Richard Greaser.

4:33Rod Palmer If you've been listening to this show for a while and not a noob, you'll know that one of the things we've been talking about is the Bitcoin podcast power law And the price of Bitcoin, if we want it to go up past the current all time aisle, about 108,000, we just need more Bitcoin podcasts.

4:52Rod Palmer And, you know, Timmy Tether's in it right, we need China to tear down this red firewall because right now there is a zero Donald Trump announced this last week, 0% tariffs on imported Bitcoin podcasts from other countries. But there is a 100%

5:12Rod Palmer plus tariff on Bitcoin podcast going into China because of this firewall. You have to you have to you might have to have your own mesh to do network. You might have to be part of the mesh to do Telegram to learn how to get a Bitcoin podcast from The United States and China. And that's just you there's no percentage on it, but it's just a tariff on your time and on your user experience level to be able to get a Bitcoin podcast in China and that's that's holding it back and if we want an omega candle, we have to get Bitcoin podcasts into the Chinese market. Elon Musk knew this. That's why he got Tesla into China. All the billionaires,

5:53Rod Palmer they, they sent China because they need to get their products in there if they want their, their stocks to go up. And Bitcoin's the same. Donald Trump, this is why we need to support the tariffs. Donald Trump understands this. And Donald Trump is now negotiating a new Bretton Woods system where Bitcoin podcasts tariffs were going to be reciprocal. There's gonna be 0% tariffs on Bitcoin podcasts coming into The United States. Then there needs to be a 0% tariff for Bitcoin podcasts going into China. And this is how we're gonna be look, we've run out of neighbors,

6:26Rod Palmer coworkers, people at church, our friends and family to try to orange bill, to try to start a Bitcoin podcast. It's working on the margins. But right now, Bitcoin is like a developed nation. You're gonna have to put a lot of, of growth in just to get 1% growth year over year.

6:46Rod Palmer China is the heart of the global south. You get a a billion new Bitcoin podcasts in China, the growth is gonna be exponential and Bitcoin's gonna go through the room go through the roof. And so that's why I support this. Mr. Xi,

7:03Rod Palmer tear down this red communist firewall. We need an orange pilled trade agreement, a new Bretton Woods. That's what this new Bretton Woods is.

7:16Rod Palmer I have to support it. Richard, how are you doing? What do you think about this trade war and about this necessity to get Bitcoin podcasts into the, you know, the Chinese, you know, maybe we need to call it dragon candle. I don't know.

7:31Richard Greaser Well, Well, one of the things I'm concerned about is I think the Chinese will outpace there's actually a free market for Bitcoin podcast. I think China they they have these giant influencer farms over there where they have all the Asian ladies sitting in the cubicles all right next to each other influencing. And if they see the opportunity to seize on

7:56Richard Greaser doing Bitcoin podcast, like, we're we're gonna see found, and it's gonna be entirely Chinese Bitcoin podcasts. So there's a real question of how do American Bitcoin podcasters compete with the Chinese effectively? That's one of my first concerns.

8:11Rod Palmer And this is time is a flat circle. This has been the concern and the fear every time a Western country has gone to liberalize relations

8:23Rod Palmer with the Chinese government It is then that the Chinese are going to work harder and they're going to listen more Bitcoin podcasts than, than The United States and American Bitcoiners and Canadian Bitcoiners. But I think all you have to do is just make the part of the agreement that they can't listen to Bitcoin podcasts in a sweatshop. As long as they can't listen to Bitcoin podcasts in a sweatshop, they won't have time to defeat us.

8:50Rod Palmer They smoke more cigarettes, so, maybe they'll try and make up for it there, but it's gonna be difficult.

8:57Richard Greaser You seem this seems like a very precarious geopolitical it's risky. It's risky for The US and their foreign policy to be trying to promote Bitcoin podcasts in China. It's It's

9:13Rod Palmer it's kinda like the climate hysteria. People are worried that progress is going to lead to the destruction of our way of life. And some of us are worried that if if Chinese people outpace us in listening to forty hours per week at Bitcoin podcasts, it's gonna destroy

9:30Rod Palmer the, our way of life. But, and she, it's like people criticize Elon Musk for trying to get us to the moon, but we have to have we have to keep pushing. We have to keep growing and we have to take take risks for us to get, you know, to this Valhalla, to this citadels by hyperbitcoinization. And we want the price to go up. If we if we truly believe that it's NGU at all costs. We have to take risks, and we have to get Bitcoin podcasts into China. For those that are afraid to compete with the Chinese directly head to head,

10:03Richard Greaser here's a here's a few things that you have to know. It is the Chinese like to work hard. They typically like to work harder than Americans. So you being lazy is not an excuse anymore. You gotta get your shit together. The Chinese also like to smoke cigarettes. So you claiming that you're, you know, being healthy or whatever bullshit that you're saying and not smoking cigarettes is not gonna cut anymore.

10:32Richard Greaser But the thing underlying both of those things is the Chinese smoke really shitty cigarettes. The American cigarettes are significantly better, meaning that American podcasters smoking cigarettes to compete with the Chinese are gonna have an edge

10:49Richard Greaser in that regard because they don't have Marlboros in China. Now I'd be concerned about that issue directly if Marlboro is given the go ahead to start

11:03Richard Greaser exporting into, into China. That might be kinda problematic, but I just don't foresee that happening because I think the Chinese, they they just have weak sensibilities when it comes to cigarette smoking. They like their shitty cough syrup cigarettes.

11:19Rod Palmer And this is this is something that a lot of normies are gonna have to deal with. We're making this deal. We're bringing manufacturing. We're bringing factory jobs back to The United States in this trade deal with these tariffs and people are complaining. They're like, well, I don't think Americans want to work in sweatshops. I don't think Americans wanna work in hot, dangerous factories, ten hours per day, instead of, you know, sitting at jobs where they can listen to Bitcoin podcast and not worry about getting their hand ripped off or their fucking leg chopped off in a compressor.

11:53Rod Palmer But if we're gonna get Americans to agree to go back to these conditions, we're gonna have to, I mean, what the whole point of this is, like, we're gonna make America great again. We're going back to the good times. Well, the good times were not just factory jobs. The good times was being able to smoke cigarettes inside at your factory job. The good times is being able to smoke cigarettes on an airplane. The good times is being able to smoke cigarettes at home or in your car with the windows rolled up while you're taking your kids to school. The compensation package that the other half of America is gonna have to accept is that, yes, non credentialed right wingers are going to have to work in hot sweaty factories again, but we're also going to have to

12:35Rod Palmer smoke cigarettes at Outback Steakhouse in the same building together. We're not going outside anymore. You're going to have to smell my cigarette smoke when you're eating your blooming onion. That is part of making trade offs. Yeah. But, you know, this, this tariff thing is developing and we will, we will see the progress being made by, you know, Bitcoin podcasters will be the first to report this. We will be able to see the analytics on our podcast dashboards and see when the the little dots are lighting up in China as more podcasts are reaching

13:07Rod Palmer into the Chinese government and we will have, because of this data, the most alpha. So if you are looking for, hey, is the Bitcoin price gonna go up? The only person you're gonna be able to know this from is a Bitcoin podcaster because we're the only we are the ones that have the analytics to see the podcast growth taking place in China. So that will come. But the topic de jure or the topic of the week, everybody's been talking about this, even if they don't know what's going on with Trump and tariffs, is the debate between Richard Grieser and Mike Brock. And I this was your debate. This was your Mona Lisa, Richard. I also I'll let you frame how we address this discussion, but I think a lot of people

13:52Rod Palmer are really were really impressed by your performance and and would like to hear your, your recap of what happened.

13:60Richard Greaser Yeah. So a little bit of context. We're gonna before I go into that, I just wanna say real quick, like, people are that are upset about sweatshops coming back to The United States, we we need a place to put the MPCs. The MPCs need jobs. They're automating

14:19Richard Greaser fast food and and grocery store jobs out. So the MPCs are not gonna be able to work there anymore. It like, when I say MPCs, I'm I'm I'm talking about the future of the the the people that are not capable of listening to 48 HPW that refused to listen to Ayn Rand. And I think I think it's people like Mike Brock.

14:43Richard Greaser Mike Brock is a good candidate for sweatshop worker due to his refusal to actually, be a sentient human being. But yeah. So my Mike Brock, he's a he's a sophisticated philosopher. He is

15:03Richard Greaser a very well read historian. He he's a self described scholar, when it comes to constitution, and, I he challenged me to a debate. He challenged me to a debate because I told him that he sucked,

15:21Richard Greaser and he didn't have a valid opinion because he didn't listen to forty hours of Bitcoin podcast a week. And that upset him on Twitter. So So he challenged me to debate,

15:29Rod Palmer and so we debate. They told me, and before we get any further, this is what I think if you if you're not aware of this debate and you don't know what happened, this is the crux of it. Richard Grieser called out Mike Brock about not listening to forty hours per week and Mike Brock went crazy. So we we build up to this debate. And from my perspective, Mike made this big deal about not listening to forty hours per week and then proved exactly why

15:55Rod Palmer you need to listen to forty hours of Bitcoin podcasts per week. He, he, he made Richard's point for him and then it is, so the debate builds up. You ran it on, on zap. Stream, right, and and Twitter or why you and then he ran his oversubstack. Like, what was the setup here? Because it was two separate audiences

16:18Rod Palmer and the comments and and well, the comments on the side of of Richard Grieser were a little bit more decentralized naturally. They were in group chats, Signal, Telegram, but also on the timeline. Whereas Mike Brocks were kind of segregated in his own, platform and the the reactions to this debate couldn't have been more different. But, well, I'll let you ex explain further.

16:40Richard Greaser Unfortunately, I couldn't get zap.stream to work. That was,

16:46Rod Palmer To nobody's surprise.

16:48Richard Greaser Well, I it usually works, but I guess it they whoever is developing it over there, they've been listening to me talk about how the revolution will not have good UX. And so they I'd Use an excuse to quiet quit. Yeah. But, yeah. So I I streamed it on Twitter, and then I I put the audio,

17:09Richard Greaser the recording in our in our podcast feed, and we got a lot of lot of listeners commenting on it there. But, yeah, I don't know. It was it was a good time. It it was fun. Yeah. Your your description of, Mike proving my point, he, so the way that I frame the conversation or the debate right off the bat

17:29Richard Greaser is he he wanted to argue about a bunch of things that didn't matter. And I think the the thing that mattered that I wanted to drive home is that, that he was he was he was like an Ellsworth Toohey type character from the Fountainhead. He was he was a Ein Rand villain, and I I'm being the John Galt of journalism. I'm a Ein Rand hero in the story. Right. Right. The entire debate after that

17:57Richard Greaser going forward is essentially exactly that. He he was just parenting, paroting Ellsworth Toohey talking points, and I was schooling him on Randian philosophy, which he he claims he had read, but I don't really know how much he'd actually read of it.

18:15Rod Palmer Yeah. The here's the the topic was Ayn Rand, but the, the original allegation was you don't listen to enough hours of Bitcoin podcasts. So Mike Brock showed up to the debate and he

18:31Rod Palmer explained to Richard how sophisticated he was, but he also enumerated every single topic: philosophy, praxeology,

18:41Rod Palmer mises, Rothbart, Hans Hermann Habei, all these different characters, all these different doctrines of thinking

18:54Rod Palmer and how much experience he had in all of those different, philosophies. But this was a but this was a debate about listening to Bitcoin podcast. So he did his research in all in all of the wrong he was so distracted by noise and so almost almost like a mental shield over his brain to, like, cast out signal. So, only noise gets into his his brain, no signal.

19:21Rod Palmer And he tried to explain why that was better than at consuming the most noise instead of the signal and it he proved the point which was you can have a PhD

19:34Rod Palmer in every college, you know, degree program from Harvard, but if you don't listen forty hours of Bitcoin podcast per week, you're just not prepared for the world we live in today. Yeah, pretty much. You said a great you made a great point. You said, I, as a father, have to show up for my wife, my children, my family, and I do that by listening to forty hours per week and Mike Brock's not willing to do that. No. He's not. He's

20:01Richard Greaser he's the type of guy that rests on his laurels. And this is, like, one of the things that a lot of people get wrong. They think that they they go to college, they get their credentials, and they're set for life. They it's just easy cruising after that. And it's not the case. Getting your credentials is just setting the foundation upon which to build the house, but you don't you're not done building the house after you build the foundation.

20:26Richard Greaser Like, once you build your house, you have to regularly keep up with it. Right? You gotta you gotta mow the lawn on a on a regular basis. You gotta pull the weeds out of the lawn. You gotta repaint the white picket fence.

20:41Richard Greaser You gotta take care of the roof. You gotta you gotta clean the house or hopefully have your wife clean the house for you and do dishes. You gotta keep up with it on a regular basis, and that's what the forty hours per week are. And if you don't if you don't do that and you just rest on your laurels, rest on your credentials, the house is gonna fall into disrepair. It's It's gonna fall into disrepair. And and Mike,

21:08Richard Greaser what I exposed is that Mike's house was in complete disrepair. It was in chaos. He didn't smoke cigarettes. He didn't read Atlas Shrugged twice a year. He just it it I mean, we were talking last week on the show

21:23Richard Greaser about, like, how people that don't listen to 40 HPW, they're like they're like middle schoolers. Right? So, like, we're like LeBron James. We're like the Michael Jordans of the world. Those of us that that do the the proof of work. We

21:41Richard Greaser we are the the top tier the top of the top when it comes to the intellectual luminaries in this world. And there's all these other people that think they're they're on top and that they're sophisticated and that they're smart, and we just have to dock on them.

22:01Richard Greaser We have to teabag them. We have to ridicule them. We have to just, like, ax expose them.

22:09Rod Palmer It's a stress test. So people nowadays to what what resting on your laurels translates to is resting on your credentials. Back in the middle ages, there was no digital record or bookkeeping that you could

22:27Rod Palmer carry your credentials. Credentials are a, bare asset. You couldn't show somebody, I'm a credentialed bridge builder. I'm a credentialed engineer. So the king or whoever the whoever ruled the quote unquote polity at the time, they would make the engineers sleep under the bridge they just built for six months every night. So if that bridge was not made to the proper specifications and was not stress tested and somebody drove over that bridge, the bridge would collapse and kill the engineer. So to say there was no credentialed

22:59Rod Palmer bridge builders in the middle ages was true because if you if you didn't have the actual credentials that you needed to build a bridge, you died under it when it collapsed on you and you were supposed to sleep underneath it. But now because you can transfer credentials, people rest on them. They don't stress test their credentials on a constant basis. So instead of instead of resting

23:22Rod Palmer on their body of work, they rest on their credentials. And it's not if it's not stress tested, it collapses under any form of challenge. And that's what happened to Mike Brock. He rested on his credentials, and it cost him. It costed his reputation, especially in the most,

23:39Richard Greaser important context, in the context of Bitcoin podcast listeners. Yeah. He he didn't do any research. He didn't he had no idea who I was. I'm the premier one of the premier journalists in the world, if not the premier journalist in the world. This was this was Jack Dorsey's right hand man.

23:57Rod Palmer Think about that. The CEO, basically the inventor of Nostra. Bitcoin maximalist, he's got Cash App, he's got all these different Bitcoin, themes companies and some of them even accept Bitcoin for payment. But Jack Dorsey's right hand man is one of the PodConf leaderships, one of the top four seeds in Maxi Madness and his right man man doesn't listen to Bitcoin podcast.

24:22Rod Palmer Maybe that explains why Jack Dorsey's suite of products don't follow any of first principles. They're not free and open source. They don't accept Bitcoin for payment is because all the people he has working for him, he doesn't even expect them to listen to forty hours per week. Yeah. I I do I do think it's a it's a major condemnation

24:43Richard Greaser of Jack Dorsey and the types of people he's surrounding himself with. Not everybody knows

24:50Rod Palmer Yeah, and not everybody knows how much power Mike Brock used to have in the Bitcoin space but everybody knows how much power Jack Dorsey has and so if you want to know what to think of Jack Dorsey because he's kind of, he's kind of very carefully uses all his words. He's got a team of professionals helping him know what to say. He's had a lot of Jewish lawyers. Let's put it that way. Jack Dorsey can afford a lot of Jewish lawyers, but Mike Brock can't because Mike Brock is unemployed. He's a blogger, but he used to be Jack Dorsey's right hand man.

25:24Rod Palmer And if you wanna know what Jack Dorsey's building, go listen to that debate. And you tell me if you wanna use that hardware wallet or you wanna use

25:32Richard Greaser that financial platform. Yeah. I mean, there's, there's this real issue, which is, I wouldn't necessarily call it an issue, but it's just it's just I I think what I was able to do, I'm I'm happy with my performance in the debate. What I think I was able to do is I was able to effectively communicate why smoking cigarettes and listening to Bitcoin podcasts and reading Ayn Rand is super important. And, like, I think there are people that have listened to this show, and they've heard me say these things over and over again,

26:04Richard Greaser and they've doubted it. They're not they're not actually taking the action that I'm prescribing. Probably part of the reason why is they just didn't really see a clear reason for why. Right. But in order to to understand why,

26:21Richard Greaser these people have needed the context. They needed the context of seeing, like, what the alternative is. Like, who the people are that are vehemently against having some semblance of dignity, self respect, doing doing the work on a regular basis,

26:38Richard Greaser it's easy to be lazy.

26:41Rod Palmer It's easy to be lazy. No, Barack. It's also easy to be lazy. It's easy to blame somebody else. Mike Barack, at the beginning of that debate didn't say it directly, but he said it in so many other words that he blamed libertarians for his dad's dying of cancer. He thought that libertarians

26:58Rod Palmer being against smoking bans and making those last as long as, you know, being able to smoke at Outback Steakhouse, as long as it did, cost his dad his health. And as tragic as that is, he just refused to listen to the answer, which was if he would've listened to forty hours of Jack Cruz podcast, he would know that you can't blame libertarians for lung cancer. It's, it's, you can stop being mad

27:25Rod Palmer about somebody dying from lung cancer and just know that that there's just there's a sovereign way to have cancer. Jack Crews could have taught could have taught you that. These people are being crippled

27:36Richard Greaser by their stubbornness and their inability to adapt and change. We live in a different world. It's not the world

27:47Richard Greaser that Mike Brock grew up in, where you could just rest on your credentials. We the world's changing too quickly. It doesn't work that way any way anymore. Bitcoin has won, and you have to behave like it. Behaving like like these Bitcoin podcasters have not been

28:07Richard Greaser the luminaries predicting the future, that they're not the ones writing the history books is a very ignorant way to live your life right now. It's a very ignorant way. Trump

28:18Rod Palmer derang Mike Brock suffers from Trump derangement syndrome as well, which is kinda how the whole debate ended up being able to occur was because Mike Brock was having Trump Derangement Syndrome on his timeline and I kind of trolled him and retweeted him and said, you know, took his words out of context in a very obvious way and he didn't recognize that. And he, so he got very upset. He thought that, he thought that I was serious

28:47Rod Palmer and that led to the, the argument between him and Richard Grieser, which got him to have this debate. But the Trump Derangement Syndrome is a proxy for unresolved issues with problems with your dad and Donald Trump is kind of dad coming home. I'm not the first person to make this but dad is coming home and he's coming down to the basement and he's turning on the lights and he's saying you are unemployed. You can't be blogging and reading

29:16Rod Palmer Hans Hermann Hoppe and Murray Rothbard and Ayn Rand and you just can't be reading all you can go out and get a job, just mow the lawn, change your oil on your car, do something that, you know, reconnects you with the real world and value for value relationships.

29:35Rod Palmer You can't keep mooching off of your Filipino wife, because she's still collecting social security from her four previous husbands. Like, you have to be responsible. You have to be self made and where that begins is listening to forty hours of Bitcoin podcasts per week and Mike refuses to solve the problem. So he's gonna read every other book and listen to every other podcast to try to find the answer

30:04Rod Palmer to his detachment from reality and he's not gonna be able to find it. He just he's doing all this to avoid listening to forty hours per week. If he put half as much effort is not to not listening to forty hours per week as he put that into actually trying, he would find it's incredibly easy. I'm glad that you clarified

30:24Richard Greaser the that it I think you'd appreciate it if you somehow, explained to him his, Trump derangement syndrome because he was definitely very offended by that

30:36Rod Palmer allegation. Well, yeah. He he posted, it's too hard to find a tweet because he tweets so many rants, but he he posted a an article and then alluded in the caption that he I don't even know how to explain it other than he was having fever dreams or hallucinogenic

30:55Rod Palmer meetings with the gods of philosophy, the gods of logic, the gods of epistemology, the gods of, of just knowledge in general. And in these fever dreams

31:07Rod Palmer was was asking these doctors, just trying to get an opinion, do I have Trump derangement syndrome? And they all assured him that he did not. So that his critique of that particular news item of that day was not the result of Trump derangement syndrome. And I retweeted it and said, I'm just glad Mike is now seeking medical attention for his Trump derangement syndrome. But so far, he just is in complete denial and it's going to take a certain rock bottom at some point for him to admit that he has Trump derangement syndrome, but he's not the only one like that. We all have somebody in our peer group at work, our church, our neighbors, our family members who have that deep of Trump derangement syndrome. And a lot of it comes from COVID.

31:53Rod Palmer A lot of them really have, which is kind of a fucked up thing because I think if they would just sit down with us and all agree that Trump fucked up COVID, we could be we could connect on that alone. That's one agreement we could have about Trump, but they've got COVID denialism and Trump derangement syndrome. And it's just a matter of they don't want to admit that the libertarians,

32:16Rod Palmer right? Yeah. But the libertarians have to take accountability for the fact that even though they were right, they did nothing to stop it. And they were after they were impotent and and helpless and instead picked a woke person to run for president to try to capitulate to the culture instead of holding their ground.

32:36Richard Greaser Well, libertarians could be listening to forty hours of Bitcoin podcast too, and and they haven't. They're they're in the same boat as Mike. They're in the same boat. They might be smoking cigarettes, but they're definitely not listening to Bitcoin podcast, and it's kinda sad. They're too busy worried about the age of consent and arguing about whether black people should be able to go in their businesses or not. Like, that's not a good not a good use of time, in my opinion.

33:04Rod Palmer How are you gonna litigate really important problems and really important how are you gonna come up with really important solutions for how are we gonna live in this polity together with people of different races, these people different cultures, people different backgrounds?

33:21Rod Palmer How are we going to figure out how to live and build and progress as a, as a globe or as a country or whatever policy you want to, to gauge it under? How are we going to work together if we're still litigating, whether or not it's okay to call each other a retard? It's like, get over it. Get over the get over the the fact that Donald Trump says words like retard and it offends you. Like, we have to solve bigger problems. And Mike Brock is too hung up, and it's a result same with libertarians.

33:53Rod Palmer And it's a result of not listening to forty hours of Bitcoin podcast per week. Yeah. If you

34:02Richard Greaser everything's down downstream. Everything in our society at this point is downstream from Bitcoin podcast.

34:10Rod Palmer Alright. And you know what? For those of you listening who are wondering why I keep emphasizing polity, it's because Mike Brock's listeners on his livestream were calling Richard retarded for not understanding what the word polity meant when the whole time Richard was the only one in that debate who understand what the word polity meant. Mike Brock just saw it in a book that he didn't understand and he repeated it. Mike Brock wasn't telling

34:38Rod Palmer Richard accused Mike Brock of just believing what the TV told him and Mike Brock correctly said he didn't, but Mike Brock believes anything that the book he gets at the university library tells him. And that's his that's where he that's where he fucked up. He just Mike Brock is his more hipster, and he gets his fucking instructions for how to live his life from books. And you don't need books to know how to live your life, just like you don't need CNN to know how to live your life. And Mike Brock doesn't need CNN, but he does he has to get all of his thinking and knowledge from books. I mean, one of the things that he can he kept on trying to argue and and and prove to me

35:12Richard Greaser was that he had a higher IQ than I did. And I went into the conversation explaining to him that he had a higher IQ than me, and that didn't necessarily mean that he was correct in his arguments. You can have a wider range of vocabulary. I mean, I'm a credentialed journalist. I'm not a genius. I think that's why Yeah. And this is

35:33Rod Palmer when this is the, the crux of where Mike Brock failed in a in a technical sense is, and you pointed this out as well, he didn't do his research. He didn't do any research on the topic at hand. And the other big topic du jour of the weekend outside of the bugle was the debate between, Dave,

35:54Rod Palmer the comedian from Legion of Skanks, Dave Smith, also a libertarian and the most credentialed soffit, like basically if Mossad, the United States government, NATO, everybody who supports,

36:10Rod Palmer Benjamin Netanyahu, they need somebody to go into a debate and crush it's their opponent on behalf of the regime, they send Douglas K. Murray, the most credentialed

36:21Rod Palmer conservative, you know, state debater that exists today, international, and he lost badly to the guy from Legion of Skanks, which is a comedy show in a basement in New York City, not too far away from Pubkey

36:38Rod Palmer and people are wondering how the hell did this happen. And the problem was that Douglas K. Murray just he rested on his credentials. He knew that he he thought Dave Smith was gonna be shaking in his boots

36:53Rod Palmer to debate him. He thought that Joe Rogan would be shaking in his boots to have him in the studio. But he was wrong. And he was humiliated by Dave Smith, the comedian, the podcaster, the two podcasters, because he rested on his credentials and he didn't do any any of his research. And that's what Mike Brock did. He did do any of his research and it it got him embarrassed.

37:16Richard Greaser There was this meme a while ago. You remember this when everybody was putting PhD in their, in their profile on Twitter? Yes. Yes. What that was is it was it was making a mockery of these guys that are resting on their credentials because there's a lot of them. Douglas p I didn't listen to the the whole debate, and I missed probably the majority of the good part, but, you know, I I listened to this guy make mischaracterize

37:42Richard Greaser over and over again the people that he was trying to, trying to discredit. He didn't even know their names. He didn't even know their titles and credentials. He didn't know anything about them. So he went on the biggest podcast in the world to try and make an argument, and he believed that he was so set because he had his credentials that he wasn't even willing to do the most basic research on the people that he was trying to criticize. I don't know what this phenomenon should be called.

38:11Rod Palmer You see it in other places. You see it more contemporary, like Conor McGregor. Conor McGregor was the up and coming, one of the most fearsome, dominant mixed martial artists in the world He he knocked out Jose Aldo in like the first ten seconds of their fight and Jose Aldo had been champion for years, multiple different promotions Nobody could touch Jose Aldo. He was completely

38:37Rod Palmer feared. And then Conor McGregor steps in the ring and knocks him out in thirteen seconds. And Conor McGregor was on top of the world, but then he got rich and he got famous and he started being on, you know, in commercials and movies. He started to be able to he was rich enough and successful enough to get away with cheating on his wife. He was at the top and he started losing fights. Once he got to the top, he rested on his credentials and he stopped putting in the proof of work. He stopped listening

39:07Rod Palmer metaphorically to forty hours per week in the gym preparing to take on all adversaries. And he fell from grace. And this happens all the time. A lot of people get to the professional sports levels or they they put out a few rap albums, they go multi platinum and then nothing they put out after that. Is it ever worth listening to ever again? Because they rest on their credentials. And I think maybe I think that is the larger.

39:33Rod Palmer Eo doesn't do that? Phish. So fundamentals is going to love that and back on the chain, those guys are super autistic. They love two very super autistic things. But anyways, this doesn't rest on their morals. Cypherpunks don't rest on their morals or on their credentials. But but some people do. And people like Douglas K. Murray, like Mike Brock, that's what they did. They stopped researching.

39:58Richard Greaser Well, I think this is a challenge all of us are gonna have to, grapple with is when the market really starts pumping. When once we start hitting you know, once we get to that point, 2,000,000,000,000 USDT, when all the things that we predicted, you know, are coming true before our eyes is how how do we not rest on our our laurels? Because it you know, when we're

40:22Richard Greaser all incredibly wealthy, it's it's not a struggle to to earn cigarette money for families. What's going to keep us continuing to want to grow and learn and listen to forty hours of Bitcoin podcasts a week?

40:38Rod Palmer All right. People, people, they share that meme that weak men create bad times, but that's where the meme begins. There's no explanation for what came before that to create weak men

40:54Rod Palmer and weak men rest on their laurels. So that's where the meme begins. When you rest on your laurels, you become weak and that's how you create bad times. And it's gonna be generations before people like big corners come back and save it.

41:07Richard Greaser It's like the fourth turning. It's the beginning of the fourth turning. Yeah. You you have to find new ways to stay hungry. And I think this is a topic that I talked about with Mike Brock, is the importance of entropy in your 40 HPW. Because I think one of the one of the things where people get stuck, they stop listening to Bitcoin podcast because they're like, oh, it's boring. It's all the same thing. And that's not even remotely close to the truth because there's so many different types of Bitcoin podcasts out there to be listened to. It's a world and diverse ecosystem

41:39Richard Greaser where there's tons of different ideas that you could constantly be exploring. And it you know, one once you get the privacy side down, once you get the macro side down, you get a good idea on these things. Well, you're probably not a polymath yet, so maybe you should listen to fundamentals,

41:58Rod Palmer math podcast. Yeah. This is this is where I think people get tripped up is they get we're coming out of this funk where society thought that diversity, equity, inclusion, DEI was the solution to our economic, you know, doldrums and diversity, equity, inclusion is not as simple as just, oh, this person's not Jewish. They can be in Hollywood. This person's black. They can be Little Mermaid.

42:26Rod Palmer Diversity, equity, inclusion is entropy. We need more entropy. If you, if you listen to too many macro podcasts, then the people

42:37Rod Palmer who the advertisers are going to be able to use AI to just basically read your mind before you even realize it and just trick you and manipulate you with the algorithm and the content that you're going to be consuming for the future. And if you don't have an, but if you build an entropy into your, into your consumption habits, into your Bitcoin podcast listening house, these new ideas,

42:60Rod Palmer this diversity, which is really should be called entropy is going to cause your mind to have to grow. You're stressing your mind. There's not these patterns that are just easy for them to accept. It's like, okay, this makes sense. This is my echo chamber. I don't get any anxiety thinking about this. I don't get any anxiety listening to James Lavish give his base case to Preston Pysch about the future of the macro podcasting space. Oh, Doctor. Jeff Ross? Well, he's a doctor if he says the economy is gonna be okay. I believe him. No anxiety here, but you, you don't have any sort of, of stressing your, your mind's not going to grow. You are not going to grow. You need this entropy to challenge your, your preconceptions. You've got these thought patterns that are just not being

43:46Rod Palmer challenged. You don't have enough entropy in your Bitcoin podcast listening.

43:50Richard Greaser Yeah. You don't you never wanna peak. You wanna constantly be seeking to grow. You wanna constantly be looking to better your life, better life of your your family, earn more cigarette money for them.

44:06Rod Palmer Entropy is like TRT. Your body stops being, you know, you have the the curiosity and the open mind of a child's spirit or whatever. But you run out of that as you grow older and entropy is like TRT to make you see you never peak. Yeah.

44:23Richard Greaser Your brain needs to hit a certain point of hypertrophy on a on a regular basis and

44:31Rod Palmer Sounds just about fasting in some light. You need entropy.

44:36Richard Greaser Yeah. I'm trying to think of I mean, it was pretty funny seeing the responses to the debate. I Mike Brock was all excited. Like, I think he, he thought he was gonna do a number on me. He thought he thought it was gonna be, like, a t ball home run.

44:54Richard Greaser He's gonna tee me up. He's gonna school me. He thought he was he was way more sophisticated because I was a journalist and he was a philosopher, which is an easy mistake to make.

45:07Rod Palmer It was MMA. You know,

45:10Richard Greaser I think I think most, you know, masculine men have read The Art of War by Sun Tzu, and they like to reference the art of war. Like, real high t men,

45:23Richard Greaser they like The Art of War a lot. And one of the things in The Art of War that is discussed there is actually understanding your enemy. And when you're debating, it's an adversarial

45:38Richard Greaser environment, and you have to do research on the person. And I did my research on Mike. I've been following him on Twitter for a little bit and seeing his post, but I went and listened to some of his interviews

45:52Richard Greaser and the podcast that he did. And I read his work, and he didn't read a single thing that I wrote.

45:58Rod Palmer He didn't write a single he didn't read a single thing that I wrote. He didn't listen to any of our podcast.

46:05Richard Greaser Hopefully, he's listening now. I mean, I I think I gave him a pretty good case for why he should listen to 40 HPW. And this is the thing is, like, men men are just people in general that have very weak egos, they they have very low self esteem. When they get trounced

46:28Richard Greaser by somebody else, instead of looking to change their mind, they oftentimes just double down and just continue to they go deeper into their safe space instead of actually

46:40Rod Palmer doing some self reflection.

46:42Richard Greaser They retreat. They retreat into that comfort zone. And we just we just have to accept that. You know? Like, for for the people Yeah. For for the people listening to that interview, I bet you Amazon the the amount of books that were bought on Amazon, how many people bought Atlas Shrugged? I bet it was a record breaking novel.

47:05Rod Palmer Huge. The, this is all, again, harkens back to entropy, and it's like martial arts. Mike Brock, he's been studying Taekwondo,

47:16Rod Palmer he's been studying Kung Fu, and it's he gets all of his information from these old college books and those old college books are, it's the narrative that, you know, the state and the powers that be wanted to get published and preserved throughout time. All the challenging ideas, all the conspiracy theories of those days, those were censored out and you only got the the mainstream narrative and the the slight the select few contrarian

47:47Rod Palmer controlled opposition narratives that they wanted to went through for you to compare them against. And that's all Mike's ever read. He has not been exposed to entropy, but like we learned in the first UFC, once somebody who's been training in Taekwondo needs somebody who's been training in a real entropy rich environment, like a jiu jitsu practitioner, where there's just so many different possibilities that you cannot

48:12Rod Palmer just, you can't memorize, you can't memorize every attack vector that's coming at you and grappling. You can't have only three opposing, you know, points of view that were used

48:28Rod Palmer to craft this, this main narrative of discipline. You have to be ready for anything and you have to have a flexible entropy rich training environment to be ready for that. And so Mike Brock was like a Taekwondo person wearing one of his those foam elements that Mars kid wears and he got in the he got in there with Richard and Richard arm barred him in the first two seconds.

48:52Richard Greaser I apologize. I make I'm extremely tired today.

48:56Rod Palmer Well, mom, I gotta run and get my tour dash, so keep talking. I can hear you. But I'll be back in ten seconds. Don't don't but don't pause it. Alright.

49:05Richard Greaser Oh, yeah. I mean so one of the things that we discussed on the debate I don't wanna talk about the debate a whole lot longer. The last thing I'll say on the topic is, one of the things I discussed is, like, you know, taking regular breaks, like, twice a year. Like, when when you're working a job, you're expected to work forty hours a week. It's kinda like a beta job. Beta jobs, you work forty hours a week, I think. Like, real real adult jobs, you you work anywhere between sixty to eighty hours a week. But you get PTO

49:37Richard Greaser or you or you get some sort of vacation time. And and, typically, it's about two weeks a year vacation time. And part of the reason why you get that is because you gotta rest at certain points. You gotta rest and you gotta recharge and you gotta do things for yourself. And there's something I was explaining to Mike Brock is you you should read Atlas Shrugged twice a year.

50:02Richard Greaser And I I think you can if if you're really focused, you can read Atlas Shrugged front to back in about a week. You You can do it quicker if you want to if you're really, really committed, but I I think a week's a pretty good pace to read it all. And the important thing to know is Mike is unemployed, and he already said

50:18Rod Palmer that he doesn't have time to listen to Bitcoin podcasts. He's too busy reading. Well, substitute in that for Atlas Shrugged. He could probably get it covered in color twice a year before January 6, and he could go back to writing blogs freaking out about how January 6 is the worst thing ever, but just get the ant. Get Alice Shrugged can recover twice before that in the first week. Yeah. Totally.

50:43Richard Greaser But yeah. I mean, you like, when you're working out a lot so, like, one of the things that Rod was discussing is, like, putting your brain through stress. When you put your brain through stress, you like, when you're working out your physical body, doing your push ups, doing your pull ups, like like kids is doing at the gym, you gotta rest to recover. You have to rest to recover. And I I think, like, you're you're working less than forty hours of Bitcoin podcast a week, all year. You gotta take a couple weeks off at least or at most.

51:18Richard Greaser And a good way to take that off is by reading Atlas Shrugged.

51:23Rod Palmer Yeah. It's like active rest. People talk about that in the fitness community. It's like you're doing dead lifts and you're doing push ups and you're doing all the stuff that gets you, like, the biggest ass and like the biggest chest and the biggest shoulders, but then you have to have active rest days where you just like you run a half marathon. It's just like way less stressful. Like that's what you gotta do. You gotta take some time off some active rest in between Bitcoin podcasts and read out with Shrub cover to cover. Yeah. Before we, like Speaking of KitKat or excuse me, KitSats, though, what's up with her these days? You said you ran into her on Instagram?

51:56Richard Greaser Yeah. She was one of the first people that followed me on Instagram. So I made an Instagram account, and it's been an interesting you know, most of my experience with the Bitcoin ecosystem has been on Twitter. It's been on Reddit. It's been on Stacker News and Noster. That that's where I've hung out mostly,

52:20Rod Palmer but there's a small ecosystem. Basically, places where people are not looking girls are not looking for boyfriends. Mhmm. They're they're not looking for boyfriends on Stacker News, for example. Well, Kit was one of the first people that followed me,

52:32Richard Greaser which I thought was interesting. So I followed her back. You know, I was like, okay. She's based. She used to post on Twitter, and and she sells tallow, so that's pretty cool. But it became very apparent to me pretty quickly that she's looking for a boyfriend. And I'm surprised she's not going the the Jessica Hodler route of posting about looking for a boyfriend on Twitter because her engagement was off the charts.

52:58Rod Palmer Did that's a that's a good point. Well, why do you think that is? Why do you think she's going with the Instagram strategy? It seems like Instagram is a much more highly competitive space to find a boyfriend

53:14Richard Greaser than Bitcoin Twitter? I don't I mean, that's a good question. I mean, maybe she got she was getting harassed by, the orange shells. She has some orange shells, coming after her. I don't know. That's a that's a very good question. I don't know why Instagram would be the ideal place to find a boyfriend. And, like, you know, how I'm deducing that she's looking for a boyfriend is because she's posting all these workout videos.

53:40Richard Greaser Like, women typically only post workout videos for a few reasons. One is they're selling their OnlyFans, which Kit seems a little bit more classy than that. They're selling they're OnlyFans. They're selling non KYC fit feet pics. They're selling,

53:58Richard Greaser they're selling some sort of product, and they know that if they're posting out workout videos, they're gonna get a bunch of orange sales to follow them. And it's a good sales funnel for them. Or you're posting workout videos because you're looking for a boyfriend.

54:16Rod Palmer Well, maybe she's looking for, you know, a certain type of boyfriend. Maybe she's looking for a guy who went to Robert Prillo's Art of Alpha retreat and got in really good shape and does yoga now and maybe she wants to date somebody like that and they a lot of these Bitcoin influencers

54:37Rod Palmer they wanna meet a boyfriend like that and they move to El Salvador and then they just put us Instagram videos of them, like, stretching or working out on the beach in El Salvador. Maybe that she's going for that type of future. Yeah. It's a good question. I mean, I I feel like Instagram's, like, a pretty KYC

54:53Richard Greaser friendly,

54:55Rod Palmer environment. The problem is you can't get zaps from, you know, your followers who like your workout that he is, especially if you're barefoot, you know, and

55:07Richard Greaser it's all gated and guarded on Instagram. I'm learning about this environment though because I didn't really know there was a lot of Bitcoiners on there, but there's a lot of Bitcoiners on there. You've got, let's see. Who am I following? Green candles on there?

55:24Rod Palmer Simply Bitcoin is on there, I think. Mister g.

55:28Richard Greaser Yellow's on there? Maxi Club? Jeff's Club? Natalie Brunell? Guy Swan? Natalie definitely is. I forgot about her. Let me follow her. Oh, I'm following her. Yep. Yeah. There's a lot of people. Walker. I mean, that's not very surprising. Giacomo and Mir are on there. BTS like Camila. Camila's on there. Brandon Quiddim.

55:51Richard Greaser Nico from Simply Bitcoin. The optimist. This is the one that surprised me. Econo Alchemist is on Instagram. Econo Alchemist would be great for,

56:03Rod Palmer selling ads for beef towel, shampoo. Yeah. Okay then. He's got some great hair. Is Shinobi on Instagram? Probably

56:09Richard Greaser as, as the nim. Probably not as Shinobi. I mean, it it's d plus plus

56:16Rod Palmer on Instagram. Yeah. She is. I've seen her. Shinobi's definitely on Instagram then. I don't think Pleasurer is. I'm surprised Pleasurer is not I'm not surprised, but I thought maybe that would be a surprising one that you might find on there. I'm following Dee now. She's she posts she likes to post to animate pictures. Oh, yeah. Dennis Porter? Another one who's on there. Dennis Porter, you have some good selfies on Instagram. I didn't realize Dennis Porter's on Instagram.

56:43Richard Greaser Let me look. Yep. He sure is. Wow. He's got so many selfies on here with politicians.

56:50Rod Palmer But yeah, you are Are you ready to go into the booths for last week?

56:54Richard Greaser Well, let's talk about the music. So you got a new song out. Oh yeah. Yeah, I knew one called The Orange Pillow Blues.

57:00Rod Palmer It's number two on Wave Lake right now. The Orange Pillow Blues is about it's in the chorus, you know, you don't know if you can go back to your old way of life. There's too much entropy, it's gone. And all the fiat that it was built on top of is gone. But, I ought you to go back, you know, if you gave me two, two blue pills, it would cure my orange pill ills.

57:24Richard Greaser I think we can all relate to that. Well, you gotta pace your, you gotta pace your red pills. I heard Dave Smith referencing Michael Malice on on this one. One of Michael Malice's sayings, apparently, according to Dave Smith, is, you need to take a red pill one red pill at a time. You don't you don't just down the whole bottle at once. It's kinda dangerous.

57:47Rod Palmer It's like listening to Bitcoin podcast on 1.5 speed. You just that's too much at once. You maybe some people should listen to it on point five speed.

57:57Richard Greaser Well, I I would kinda compare it to, like, listening to, like, five different Bitcoin podcasts at the same time. It's way too much

58:04Rod Palmer to be able to Right. Like, that's boomer. That's, like, boomer level. That's Rob Hamilton level. That's not beginner level. Mhmm. Yeah. You gotta work your way up to that for sure. Well, if you know what miniscript is, you can listen to five podcasts at once. But if you know what miniscript is,

58:19Richard Greaser start with a one. Go risk go listen to Rod's song on Wave Lake and boost it. I just got my song, Ungovernable Misfit, up on Spotify and Apple Music, if you like to use those music platforms. Share it around with your friends. I appreciate it.

58:38Richard Greaser I think it was a pretty good one. Should we I don't know. What do you think? Should we read the fountain boost to the the debate? Those are pretty funny.

58:51Rod Palmer Well, I think we got some pretty good boost here. I think we can do the debate one on the next, behind the podcast, maybe.

58:58Richard Greaser I'll I'll I'll read them all after after we go through these on my own. Alright. So, late stage HODL, 10,000. Similar to the old bumper stickers saying, keep honking. I'm reloading. Y'all could print one that says, keep shit shitcoining. I'm reloading. Or as t Toby Keith would say, we'll put a boot in your shitcoiner ass, it's the Bitcoiner way. Yeah. There was a time

59:24Rod Palmer when being a Bitcoin only plaid and not being a shitcoiner, it was just like more of a a real patriotic

59:33Rod Palmer feeling. I wish we could go back to those days. A lot of people think we wish we could go back to, like, the Dixie Chicks being opposed to the Iraq war meant that Toby Keith got to beat the shit out of them at the Grammys and, you know, it was great for its time,

59:50Rod Palmer but I don't know if that really fixed the other problems in The United States. I don't think it solved the problem with our foreign policy, so I don't know how effective it was, but similarly, I don't know how effective being Bitcoin only in in in attacking everybody who isn't in every conversation you ever have. I don't know how effective that really was, but it really I would I wish we could go back to that because it felt awesome at the time. I heard that Corey Clipston, he I kinda challenged him

1:00:19Richard Greaser to, have a little bit more of a diverse opinion on things to focus on just some things outside of,

1:00:33Richard Greaser outside of just going after the shitcoiner. So he reached out to me, and he told me that at the Vegas conference, he's gonna be standing outside the slot machines harassing people for for gambling instead of buying Bitcoin on Swan. So I think that's a pretty good, Yeah.

1:00:51Rod Palmer Yeah. If you've ever been to Vegas, you can go to, like, Fremont Street, and you'll see people holding up signs saying that gambling and fornication, those are sins. You're gonna burn in hell, and then here's a bible verse. Well, Corey's gonna do that at the conference. He's gonna be standing outside with a sign that says shitcoiners all get rugged. Here's the Swan reference code. Go buy Bitcoin only at Swan, and it'll save your soul.

1:01:16Rod Palmer So if you wanna see Corey doing that at the, at the conference in Vegas, you can find him out there with the other proselytizers.

1:01:22Richard Greaser Yeah. I think he's gonna be more targeting, the people playing the Bitcoiners playing blackjack instead of buying Bitcoin. That's like, that's the probably the I don't know. Would you say that's more dangerous version of shit coining

1:01:40Rod Palmer than buying Ethereum at this point? Yeah. Yeah. I'd say if you have a $100 to spare, at least playing the slots or playing something in Vegas, at least you know, like, the odds that you're gonna lose.

1:01:55Rod Palmer Whereas Ethereum, it's just impossible. It's you just have to consider it all a wash that you're gonna throw it away. Thank you for the boost late stage huddle.

1:02:04Richard Greaser Right? There were I mean, yeah. Before we go to the next one, I would I just wanna say it'd be pretty credible if Toby Keith was still alive today, you know, as as Bitcoin is being seen as a more patriotic thing, Hearing Toby Keith write Bitcoin country

1:02:25Richard Greaser music kinda in the same way that he, wrote, like, pro Iraq war music would be pretty pretty incredible, but unfortunately, we'll never get to experience that.

1:02:38Rod Palmer Yeah. I just wish. I wish the CIA would put as much effort into the woke bullshit that they're feeding us the slop, that they're feeding us that they did into the patriotic stuff. I miss the CIA's patriotic content. That's all I guess I have to say on that. The next one is from Jason C and I'm pretty sure this is Jason,

1:02:59Rod Palmer from Back on Chain Fundamentals Fish podcast, Fish and Bitcoin podcast. And if you haven't listened to the last two episodes, I created clips on Fountain of the parts where they're talking about the bugle, and I think that they probably got the best analysis on DeBugle and Maxi Mabus that

1:03:19Rod Palmer anybody else has had, especially any of the, people in the, triple elite memes, you know, universe in that orbit of influence. Check those guys out, but Jason tweeted four four thousand two hundred sats. Dear rotten dick, you are killing it. I'm not even to the ten minute mark of a talk just yet. Sincerely, Jason.

1:03:44Rod Palmer So, yeah. Jason liked our opening last week. He liked, he liked the content. I thought it was pretty good. Hopefully, he listened to the rest of the podcast too. But I'm looking forward to the bugle discussion on on the next Back on the Chain. And it's Back on the Chain. I've said Back on Chain before, and fundamentals DM me very upset and told us, it's Back on the Chain. So make sure you call it that. I've been enjoying their podcast.

1:04:12Richard Greaser I've been enjoying listening about fit, listening and learning about fish. It's been a good time. There's a whole lot. It's like Bitcoin, man. You can't learn all about Bitcoin

1:04:22Rod Palmer in one Wikipedia page or one podcast or one Netflix documentary. Like, you need forty hours per week to really get it all in and appreciate it. And they they finally did it. Those guys finally created content so you can so many can go back and have forty hours of of fish Bitcoin podcast content per week to really appreciate, the similarities and, like, the unique quirks

1:04:45Richard Greaser of both of these phenomenons. Well, thank you for the boost, Jason. Appreciate you listening. Hopefully, you listen again. Next boost is from Blizza. This time, it doesn't say anonymous. Blizzah. Double boost. Accidental double boost. So 2,020 sats instead of 1,010

1:05:06Richard Greaser like you'd probably intended. Condolences to Kaylee. Yeah. Kaylee's had a rough go, and, I'm glad she's back. I'm glad she's doing okay. She's getting pretty fiery. She she's pretty upset at that, Libby girl. That's kinda like the news from Kaylee this week. She thinks that Libby girl from Love is Bitcoin is an ugly skank, I think is

1:05:30Richard Greaser what I heard her saying in the Beagle newsroom the other day. Or maybe she called her a hoe. I don't remember.

1:05:36Rod Palmer Yeah. Anyway, hot blonde American babes who Bitcoin way better than Eastern European babes who should coin. The next, the next boost is from

1:05:50Rod Palmer from, wow, way off, Cliff Shark. I don't know if I say that right. Richard Minow. You boost us a thousand sats. He said funny as fuck. Cliff Shark is, that's to do with with Scardust, the, heavy metal band. Thank you. Sounds like he's listening to the podcast every week now.

1:06:09Richard Greaser Yeah. He's he does all the the video work for Skardov. That's right. The videos. I call him Lahav, but I might be mispronouncing it. But, yeah, I mean, he's, he's Jewish, which which is probably part of the reason why he's so good at doing,

1:06:26Rod Palmer all the video work. Oh, yeah. You want a Jewish video producer nine times you oh, no. Not nine. You've 10 times out of 10. You want a Jewish video producer

1:06:34Richard Greaser or you just don't wanna publish it. I mean, Jews aren't good for everything. Right? But they're good for a lot of things, like, you know, accountants, lawyers, video.

1:06:47Rod Palmer You don't want to do if you have a towel company and you're spamming out everybody on your contact list and say, Hey, can you leave a positive review for my towel company so it does better on Google SEO? You don't send those those links to your Jewish friends because Jewish people can always find something to complain about And you don't want Jews complaining in your in your, reviews on Amazon, eBay,

1:07:12Rod Palmer your towel company. Just don't let the Jews complain in your replies there. That's the reviews. That's how you sync your company. Yeah.

1:07:20Richard Greaser I mean, you don't want them playing sports ball. They tend not to be the best at sports ball. But, yeah, I mean, we we need the juice. And, anyways, thanks for the boost,

1:07:33Richard Greaser Appreciate it. Glad you're listening. Doing some killer shit with, Skardust and all the video. I'm impressed.

1:07:43Rod Palmer Yeah. You don't want cause you don't want Jewish customers either if you're running a restaurant because they they have so many allergy restrictions Jews are allergic to everything because they grew up on this kosher diet so they haven't been exposed to enough entropy in their diet and so they're allergic to everything Jews are complaining give me vegan this, give me gluten free this like, just don't let the Jews have their own deli and serve the Gentiles.

1:08:10Rod Palmer There'll be a Gentile shot as yours, the Jews. He's just it's it's not a value for value relationship. They're just too picky.

1:08:16Richard Greaser Well, there's different types of Jews out there. So there's, like, the Israeli Jews, and then there's the American Jews. I think you're more so talking about the American Jews. But

1:08:27Rod Palmer Ashkenazis.

1:08:28Richard Greaser The the one, like, exception to what you're talking about is Chinese restaurants. Because the Chinese, for whatever reason, they don't they don't close on, like, Christmas and American or sorry. Yeah.

1:08:40Rod Palmer Like, the Right. This is why. This is what we talked about this at the beginning. We we were worried about Bitcoin podcast getting to China because they don't even take Christmas off. They are still making rice. They're still making wonton soup. They empty them a fuck. They'll cut the duck's head off right on your table on Christmas frickin' day. They just they're always working. They're always working. Yeah. So what the Jews do in the in America

1:09:01Richard Greaser is they celebrate Christmas

1:09:03Rod Palmer or sorry. The Jews rest on their laurels.

1:09:06Richard Greaser They celebrate Hanukkah before the Christians celebrate Christmas, and all the normal people celebrate Christmas. And then, when everybody's celebrating Christmas

1:09:18Richard Greaser and everything's closed, they go to the movie theater and they go get Chinese food. And that's like what a Jewish Christmas looks like.

1:09:26Rod Palmer Right. True.

1:09:28Richard Greaser Yeah. Next couple boost from Pies. 420 sats on both of them. First one, how about a Bitcoin podcast and Wu Tang Clan? Anyone interested, get me, bruh. Hashtag 40 h p w. Next one, l f g motherfucker. I love sats on sale, bruh. Hashtag 40 h p w.

1:09:50Rod Palmer Now for those of you who are not aware, which is all of you, we have reached out to Pies about the potential of interviewing him on our podcast and he's open to it. Right? So really excited about that potential. However, Pies asked if we could do the podcast over signal while he was working and talking on his phone while he was doing jackhammer work on his job because he's always putting in work and unfortunately,

1:10:16Rod Palmer until we figure out a user experience solution to do the podcast off signal while there's a jackhammer going on in the background and he's talking on mobile. I think that user experience is just a little too hard for most listeners. So, we're going to try to improve the user experience a little bit on that, and then we're going to interview PIs. I think it's probably possible to do that. I'm saying I believe it is, but I think the oddest people just are not as advanced as Pies when it comes to listen to Bitcoin podcasts and overcoming user experience difficulties.

1:10:48Richard Greaser I'll have to ask my wife about that. It does sound pretty complicated. I'll look into it though. Thank you, Pies. Thank you, Pies.

1:10:54Rod Palmer The next one is from BTC onboard. And he did hashtag forty hours per week, two lightning emojis for 300 sats. BTC on board like I said most consistent, booster in quite a while so thank you for the support my man and the the last one here is from this says anonymous on here but it's, from

1:11:16Rod Palmer the last two. This is from Chakra or Chaka, c h a k a, and that they've reached a 142 sets with no, message. Thank you, Chaka. And the last one is from Noster Gang. Noster Ding puts a 100 sets and, oh, yeah, Forty hours per week. And and Noster Gang has also reached out on Noster to ask if there will be any purple forty hours per week, you know, because they are interested in the purple one because they like Noster so much.

1:11:44Rod Palmer So, we're gonna check with our, Jewish lawyers and our Vietnamese, sweatshop employees. And if they can do purple in the dropshipping, app, we'll send you, we'll get a forty hours per week purple

1:11:58Rod Palmer Nostra Gang approved t shirt on the website. Click. That's a very interesting request. Nostra Purple has taken over. Maybe that's the color of the year. Very well could be.

1:12:11Richard Greaser Well, thank you everybody for the boost and for tuning in, and I'll I'll do my, my boost section for the debate Oh, yeah. Up here. Awesome.

1:12:21Rod Palmer Alright. Bitcoin podcast, get them into China. Mike Brock, get a job. And, pull forty hours per week, pending slave,

1:12:33Rod Palmer organize the union, the union in China, the the slaves that do the job. We're making our t shirts. We're gonna get approval from the union boss. We'll get them on sale.

1:12:43Richard Greaser Alright. I'm gonna go through the boost from the, the debate. 128,000 sass, pretty pretty, good performing,

1:12:53Richard Greaser episode. Thank you everybody for the boost on this one. It was a fun debate. We recapped it a little bit earlier. I'll just go through the boost and do some commentary on it. 24,000 sats for Mavi Burra. The world is not ready for this caliber credential journal. You know, the world often isn't ready for change, but that doesn't mean that

1:13:14Richard Greaser the change shouldn't happen. I and I and I think this is, like, why I like Randy and philosophy so much is because it's I think a lot of what what people preach generally in society is satitude or conformity and just conforming to to other people's belief systems. And Rand is like, no, you should be a wrecking ball.

1:13:38Richard Greaser Just be an absolute wrecking ball. Just go demolish all the all the previous systems and just no matter what the cost is to you, like, your integrity is what matters at the end of the day. And, that's my philosophy with what I'm trying to do. And I don't really give a shit if the red the world is ready or not for this caliber of, credential journalism. We're gonna bring it. We're gonna bring it, and we're gonna body slam these guys. Next boost from fundamentals, 21000¢. Mike Brock is intellectually dishonest and willfully won't listen to 40 HPW, and yet Richard still took the time and treated him like a cognitively

1:14:16Richard Greaser viable opponent. The features 40 HPW, Overeducated influencers who refuse to do it will be vanquished. Yeah. Yeah. We talked a lot about that in this episode. It was very, very self apparent that, Mike just wasn't there. You know? He wasn't there. He wasn't ready to to put in the work. He wasn't ready to he just was completely unprepared. Completely unprepared. He thought he thought he was a mental giant, and I just body slammed him,

1:14:46Richard Greaser because of my background in podcast listening. That that's what I credit it to. I put the work in, and he did. Thanks for the boost. 13,939 sass from Shadrach. Go commit an act of selfishness and buy

1:15:03Richard Greaser your wife a nice gift. It feels great. Hashtag forty h p w, learn to be this. Not college political science. Yeah. I mean, it's it's funny because there's, like, this attitude around, like I guess, we didn't have to redefine the world's word selfishness because it's such a negative connotation. And and I don't think it's, like, the best

1:15:27Richard Greaser the best word because selfishness more describes people that are short sighted in their decision making, but it's a good word because it's provocative. It's a good word because it's provocative and it makes people think, you know, because you're essentially taking something that is considered to be taboo or, like, bad in our society and you're presenting it as good and and that's very pro provocative

1:15:53Richard Greaser and and kind of jarring to people. And you you saw Mike get jarred by that. Like, he I think he's a very selfish person. I think he's a very shortsighted person. And and when I use selfish, I mean I mean in a bad way, you know, because he he has this idea of the world

1:16:16Richard Greaser that he wants to hoist on other people and enforce it through coercion. He wants to prescribe how he thinks other people should live to them

1:16:28Richard Greaser And and it's not really my political philosophy or or just personal philosophy is I I just don't really care because I think people have the right and and and they have the duty to determine things for themselves. It's their it's their duty as as individuals to to actually think and determine for them what is true and what's important to them? And I I don't I just don't really believe in dominating other people because unless,

1:16:55Richard Greaser you know, it's a political debate, like but I don't believe in dominating people through coercion because I just don't see how it's really productive trying to control people. Because what I'm trying to do is I'm trying to get my shit in order, trying to get my shit in order. I'm focused on myself, trying to I'm focused on my family, trying to trying to build something here. And get you're focusing on other people and what they're thinking and trying to dominate them

1:17:26Richard Greaser gets in the way of that. I find people out there that are aligned with what I believe and we build together. And that's what consumes my time, not thinking about what other people are doing. And that's what brings me, you know, gratification. It makes me feel good. It makes me feel good to to to be doing this stuff, to be doing things that that matter to me. And instead of just, you know, freaking out and focusing on what everybody else is doing and that they think differently. You know, there's a lot of people that think differently. There's there's people that dye their hair blue. And and my stance is is just generally I wanna associate I I don't wanna associate with you.

1:18:07Richard Greaser That's about it. If if you're happy because you dyed your hair blue, then then good for you. I don't really care. I mean, if you dyed your hair blue and you listen to forty hours of Bitcoin podcast and you read Ayn Rand, twice a year, read Alice Shrugged twice a year, I don't wanna hang out with you. But, yeah, I mean, this this attitude of selfishness that I'm describing is just, like, you you focus on yourself

1:18:32Richard Greaser instead of focusing on everybody else. Because the problem with focusing on everybody else and getting upset all the time is that you fail to look at what's going on inside of you. That that's the thing you can really control at the end of the day. You can control yourself. You can't control other people. But if you're so wrapped up in what everybody else is doing, you're you're not gonna be able to be making any meaningful progress. You're just gonna be kinda stuck and lost in the weeds. And there's no reason to get lost in the weeds because there's the like, our lives are so short.

1:19:04Richard Greaser There's only so much that you could accomplish in in the short time. And I mean, what what do you wanna do? You just wanna be exhausted all the time because you're just thinking about how everybody else is different than you and wrong and all you can do is consume Netflix and take SSRIs or do you wanna be focused on listening to Bitcoin podcasts and building cool things and smoking cigarettes. So it's like choice is up to you. Do you want to be able to please your wife? You know what I mean? Be a good parent to your kid. Like what do you want to be focusing on? So I mean, that's kind of what I mean by selfishness is just like

1:19:44Richard Greaser you actually determine what's valuable to you, what feels good and then you pursue it instead of doing what you're supposed to be doing. Instead of trying to live into this idea of the common good that, you know, people like Mike come up with.

1:20:02Richard Greaser Like, how do you how do you know what the common good is? Like, how do you know what's good for anybody else? What what gives you the right or the the qualifications to be able to determine that for other people? I don't I don't really think you you can't. I mean, you can look at people and say, hey, you're retarded and you're making bad decisions and and self sabotaging, pretty pretty apparently. But let's say everybody should live this way or everybody should live that way. Like, we're all different. We're all different. We all want different things. We're we're we're

1:20:35Richard Greaser diverse population, got different skill sets. We we come from different backgrounds. Some of us are Jewish. Some of us are not. Some of us are good at sports ball. Some some of us are good at smoking cigarettes. Like, you know, we're all we're all good at different things. And the things that we're good at, we should we should pursue because it feels good to be competent and successful. We're not all the same. So how can we how can we dictate to others what to do? The things I say are suggestions,

1:21:04Richard Greaser and I and the things I I think I suggest are beneficial, and I I think I display them as being beneficial. Like, you can see the benefits of of me listening to forty hours Bitcoin podcasts a week in my life. I'm trying to display that. I just played that well in this debate by trying to send them. Next boost from a chronic 10,000 sats. This deserves more sats. Thank you.

1:21:33Richard Greaser Shadrach again. Sit outside, stare at the night sky while smoking a cigarette and ask yourself, am I sentient being or am I an MPC? I I just think that's a good practice. It's a good practice to look at the sky. You might see a UFO. You might you might see the aliens. You're not gonna see the aliens when you're sitting inside looking at Netflix. But, yeah, I mean, this is this is the question of, like, just having general self awareness. Like, you ask yourself if you're an MPC. There's so many people that run around, they're all wound up, and they're letting everybody else do. They're thinking for themselves for for them. They're outsourcing their thinking to other people. They don't know what those people's motives are. Generally, those people's motives are not in their their best interest. They're outsourcing to their thinking to people that are trying to dominate and destroy them.

1:22:21Richard Greaser They just see you as a pawn to be manipulated. They don't ask the question, am I an MPC or am I a sentient human being? Why am I a sentient human being? It's a it's a foundational question that you have to ask. Why do I believe the things that I believe? Do I believe it because I was told this

1:22:41Richard Greaser in school by a teacher who probably would had a unhappy life and and was on SSRIs. It was just working for the government to brainwash people. Why would you why would you build your entire worldview on top of what that person told you? Have you questioned that? Have you questioned if what you were told is true and then actually gone to to confirm it and then considered other viewpoints outside of yours? If you haven't, you might be wrong. And that could be problematic because if you're wrong, you could be going in the complete wrong direction.

1:23:15Richard Greaser It's an important question. Am I an MPC? And you don't just ask it once. You don't you don't rest on your credentials. You don't rest on your laurels. It's an ongoing conversation where you have to be checking yourself and and engaging with other people to check you too. NZ, 10,000 sats, no comment. Anonymous, 10,000 sats, no comment. Anonymous, again, 5,000 sats. I'm not sure who this is, but, Mike Brock went into a tailspin when challenged on basic first principle concepts like do you smoke cigarettes? Mike should put down his Aristotle, pick up a Marlboro red, and stare at the stars like a real man once in a while.

1:23:51Richard Greaser Also, bro, if your ideas are so good, why do you have to talk over Richard for half the episode? Yeah. That's a good point. I mean, these lefties, like, they like to present it it's called bravado. It's a very common thing where they're not very secure in their beliefs. And the the talking over like he did really just kinda showcased his personality and and his belief system of of of trying to dominate other peoples. And that's just how he is. He wants to yell at people and yell over people. He's kinda he's kinda like the scared boy whistling in the dark. That's how I see Mike Brock.

1:24:30Richard Greaser He's scared and he's whistling in the dark. Has no nothing of real substance to offer. OD, 40 HPW, 2121¢. Richard Grieser nailed this debate. I'm shocked hearing so called intellectual denying the importance of smoking cigarettes, reading nine rand, and listening to 40 HPW. It shouldn't be shocking. And most of these guys are terrified of it. They just accept everything. They it's kind of a monoculture. And I I think this is part of the reason why I don't really like Californians

1:25:01Richard Greaser very much, especially people from LA. And I'm I'm sure there's some good ones out there like maybe Brecky Von Bitcoin. I think he lives out there. There's probably some other good ones too, but it's too much of a broad generalization, but it's an echo chamber. They just all sit around in a circle jerk and think about how great they are. And they're like, wow, we live somewhere where there's nice weather. That's great. We're so great. We're so smart. We're the peak of civilization.

1:25:28Richard Greaser They live in this bubble and they don't know what's going on in the rest of America. They don't talk to normal people. They don't smoke cigarettes. They don't listen to 40 HPW. They don't read Ayn Rand. They lack entropy. They lack any entropy. Fomalh chronic, 1,001 sats. Great content. This joker curses a lot and in a mildly gay voice.

1:25:50Richard Greaser XD. He probably has super, super low t. Super low t. 1,000 sats, Lahav, Cliff Shark, clown emoji. Pies, four twenty sats. Mike Brock must be a dumb motherfucker thinking he would defeat the great degreaser in a debate. He didn't do any research. That that's the thing that and I kinda figured that he would he wouldn't do any research, but he should've done some research. He should've listened to my podcast. He should've at least had any idea where I'd be coming from, who I am. He didn't do his research, and it just shows he's lazy.

1:26:25Richard Greaser He's intellectually lazy, and he's just lazy in general. And he's like a a two legged stool. You just push him a little bit and topples over. Pye says, I wanted to knock Brock the fuck out listening to this. Oh, I don't know how productive that would be, but he he's a pretty skinny guy, so I I don't think he has much of a chin if he punched him.

1:26:51Richard Greaser Fuck this guy, Brock, fucking ass clown. Get him greaser. 40 HPW for Lifesong. Dave, 40 HPW says this is art. Pies, four twenty sats again. LFG. I can't see who this is, but, 420 sats.

1:27:11Richard Greaser Mike Brock will never see this. Hashtag 48 HPW. And then, last comment, I I can't see who it is either. That was some serious advice twice a year. Well, I wanna thank you all for, boosting, and, I had a good time. I mean, that that was good. It's it's just it's fun to dunk on people. It's fun to,

1:27:34Richard Greaser to have the opportunity to really showcase that I've been listening to forty hours of Bitcoin podcast a week. You don't get a ton of opportunities to do that contrasted against, you know, people as

1:27:50Richard Greaser weak as Mike Brock. I think Rod made a good point. This is Jack Dorsey, who he's got in his corner. This is who he's working with. Pretty lame. I'm real tired. I got some things I gotta work on today, and, I'm super, super behind,

1:28:08Richard Greaser unfortunately. I got some deadlines, got some cigarettes to smoke, got some podcasts to listen to. I want to thank you everybody for tuning into this episode. Really appreciate it. Really appreciate the boost. Really appreciate the support. I'm glad that everybody enjoyed the debate. I hope you enjoyed this episode. I I I apologize because I feel like I was a little bit off. I I have been really tired. I have a lot of projects I'm working on and and things on my mind. And, yeah, we're gonna play Rod's song going out to the outro. Make sure to head over to Wave Lake, give it a boost.

1:28:47Richard Greaser Him and I are in the top 10 right now. We're dominating the charts over there, but the music's only gonna get better. That's one of the things I'm working on, behind the scenes. Yeah. Anyways, thank you for tuning in, and we'll catch you next week.

1:29:04Rod Palmer I got me them orange pill blues. Listening to podcasts is more stimulating than you. Throw my headphones on and disappear. Well, I ain't really having fun,

1:29:26Rod Palmer but at least my future's clear. I don't know if I can go back home with all the entropy it's gone and all the fiat it was built on top of.

1:30:02Rod Palmer To what the podcaster says. Stand up straight. Eat your steak. Manage the clown world stress. The bear market is sure to return. Well, I ain't got enough dry powder to pass their purity test.

1:30:30Rod Palmer Don't know if I can go back now. With all my knowledge, it would be upside down like a hurricane sweeping through, affecting change. So give me two of those blue pills

1:30:48Rod Palmer if they'll cure my orange pills so I can take my goddamn podcast headphones off. Place you'll find more. Don't know if I can go back home. With all the entropy, it's gone.

1:31:34Rod Palmer And all the Fiat, it was built on top pills so I can take my goddamn podcast headphones off.

1:31:56Rod Palmer So I can take my goddamn podcast headphones off. So I can take my goddamn podcast

1:32:07Rod Palmer headphones off. So I can take my goddamn podcast headphones off.

1:32:19Rod Palmer So I can take my goddamn podcast headphones off.
