0:35Richard Greaser Welcome back to Timmy Tether tonight. Our first guest this evening is doctor Herschel Epstein. Doctor Epstein is a Bitcoin only physician who specializes in antiaging. Doctor Epstein works closely with high net worth plebs and no coiners who wanna live forever. Give a big round of applause to doctor Hershel Epstein. Welcome, doc. Thank you, Timmy. It's great to be here with you tonight. So tell the audience what you do and why you do it. You're not just some Fiat doctor pushing the same old Fiat Fauci slop. Right?

1:12Dr. Hershel Epstein Not right, Timmy. Not at all. I work with billionaires and tech CEOs who want to live forever. I help them achieve their goals, but most importantly, I orange pill them because if you want to afford to live forever and afford to pay taxes forever, you absolutely need Bitcoin.

1:31Richard Greaser Amen. That's what these rich old Jews need to realize. So, doc, tell us a little more about what your patients are telling you. What are their goals besides living forever? Do they wanna start podcasts, build citadels, or just fortify their legacies?

1:45Dr. Hershel Epstein Of the above, Timmy. But some of my highest profile patients just wanna be plebs.

1:49Richard Greaser Hold on. These guys just wanna be plebs? You mean to tell me billionaires are spending their hard earned sats to live forever and be humble while doing it?

1:56Dr. Hershel Epstein Well, a lot of these guys spent their lives working long hours building empires and capturing the levers of the state to assert control over regular people. In their retirement, they just want to stop being grown ups and just be plebs. They wanna hang out on Bitcoin spaces, smoke weed, and shit post their favorite memes. They're not so different from you and I, Timmy, and modern medicine has advanced to the point that we can help them. But they're going to need Bitcoin as you know.

2:24Richard Greaser Fascinating stuff. They will definitely need Bitcoin, but they're also gonna need to listen to Bitcoin podcasts. Speaking of Bitcoin podcasts, we have an excellent episode of Bugle Weekly coming up for you tonight. So stay tuned, and thank you, doctor Epstein.

2:37Dr. Hershel Epstein Thank you, Timmy. Stay humble, stack sets, and you can stay a pleb forever.

3:08Richard Greaser Welcome folks to the Bugle Weekly. What a week it's been. Another week of the fourth turning chaos, another week of the grumpy plaives, another week of Shinobi calling people retarded. Not a lot's changed. I mean, it it it we're kinda getting to the point where we're talking about similar things. It's it's the culture's stale. I think there's some exciting things happening outside of the grumpiness here.

3:35Richard Greaser What's important, folks, is you'll find whatever you're looking for. So if you're looking to be grumpy, you'll find reasons to be grumpy. If you're looking for reasons to feel joyful, to feel optimistic, to feel excited about life, you'll find those things. The good news is, folks, podcasters

3:53Richard Greaser are putting out some dang shit. The intellectual Silk Road is rolling. It's growing. It is vibrant. I had a wonderful time talking to Bubba this week about the state of music, a talk talking about his music career on the music show.

4:12Richard Greaser And what I've really found by being frustrated with Bitcoin's ecosystem with music is that there are people doing really cool stuff.

4:24Richard Greaser We got Skardos doing real cool shit. We've got, Ainsley Costello just put out a new song. We've got Joe Martin. Joe Martin's coming to The US to record a new album, putting out some fire shit. There there's some really good artists out there doing

4:43Richard Greaser cool things. There are people out there doing cool things, and and and the reality isn't just grumpy plebs pitching about knots. There's actually people doing things that are that are aspiring, that are interesting. And so you have a choice of of how to feed your mind. Are you just gonna be gobbling up grumpy plebslop on Twitter, or are you gonna be going out there searching to have real relationships, real conversations with people that aren't so retarded? The choice is yours, folks.

5:16Richard Greaser Ron Palmer, how are you doing today?

5:20Rod Palmer It's not as to the choice is yours. It's that you must make a choice and soon. Because right now the

5:31Rod Palmer algorithms are bifurcating. The network is being decentralized. We talk about this node war decentralizing Bitcoin and that's good for Bitcoin. We talk about BitX, decentralizing the network. And that's good that this is all true. But the side effect of decentralizing the network

5:51Rod Palmer is decentralizing the algorithm, decentralizing the influencers, decentralizing the podcast. And so you have to make a choice at this point because your favorite influencers, your favorite podcasters are gonna be going down the Nodes algorithm, the Nodes podcasts. You're gonna have the Bitcoin podcasts, you know, Bitcoin core podcasts, I guess you should say.

6:13Rod Palmer And those are the broader podcast. That's the broader split. That's the broader, tower of Babel moment, so to speak. But it's also coming down to the identity layer. And a lot of people thought, you know, I could I could kind of like ride the fence here and be a plaid or be a pioneer and kind of take my time and decide if I wanna be which one.

6:38Rod Palmer Maybe dabble a little bit in both. You can't anymore. You have to choose are you a plaid or are you a pioneer? I don't know. Do you do you not see that coming? It seems like you can't be a plaid forever. Some people think you can be a plaid forever. Some people are gonna try to be a pleb forever. Some people seem to have succeeded, like Mr. Hoddle and Dear Bob at being plebs forever. But, you know, everything has its its end. Time is still scarce even for plebs.

7:11Richard Greaser Yeah. I think that's, it's a great synopsis. This is one of the problems with living in the four turning. Like, a lot of people wanna be Switzerland, and a lot of people wanna be neutral, not to pick a side. But when the war comes to your doorstep, you don't really have a choice. So a lot of Americans, they experienced this in the in the civil war where they were, you know, given a choice to either join the Confederacy or join the,

7:37Richard Greaser the union, and and I think a lot of them didn't want to make the choice. But the problem is is when you've got a mass casualty event happening on your doorstep in rural Tennessee or, you know, wherever you're located, you don't really have the option to to try and take that neutral stance. Like,

8:02Richard Greaser unfortunately, folks, the door the the war has come to your doorstep. And today, that is the case again. You cannot hide from the nonsense. You cannot hide from the bullshit. You've got Californians wearing masks again. You got

8:21Richard Greaser Bitcoin podcasters trying to set up debates about knots versus core. You've got, people threatening to dox each other on Twitter. You've got just a lot of lot of really, you know, grumpy and mean spirited behavior

8:41Richard Greaser that's you you've got Karens going to baseball games and taking baseballs away from little children. You can't hide from this shit, folks. This is the fourth turning. Donald Trump is putting, the National Guard on the streets of American cities. Peter Thiel is surveilling you with Palantir.

9:06Rod Palmer Yeah. That'd be disempartum but you talked about the cure in stealing baseballs from little children. What more evidence do you need to see that a society is sick than when these Karens

9:23Rod Palmer with butch haircuts, they don't have children, they don't have their motherly instincts never kicked in, so they're just running around screaming at children and taking baseballs from children. That raises some very extreme young people. And young people are no longer looking to

9:42Rod Palmer authority and thinking you know the they're not thinking that they can be saved. And it's it's creating unrest and it's creating conflict. That goes back to the element goes back to the choice situation. We thought last year that our choices between an asshole

10:03Rod Palmer and a retard. We thought we had we had made that decision. We went with the asshole who turned out to be a retard. And now Bitcoiners have to choose. Do we wanna go with core, the retards, or the Nazis,

10:18Rod Palmer the assholes? Ending if you if you have to make the choice, you have to know there's a third choice. The only way to escape having to follow assholes or retards is to be a pioneer. And to take responsibility for your own node. Responsibility for your own community. Responsibility for your own podcast. Responsibility for your own group chats. And that's the only you have to make a choice one way or the other. And either you get a lot of work and a bad user experience or you get,

10:51Richard Greaser you know, controlled by your fate is now controlled by assholes or recharge. I would have flipped it. I I would have said the Nazis are the assholes and, or sorry, the the retards and the the core people are the assholes.

11:06Rod Palmer It just depends on your point of view.

11:10Richard Greaser It just depends on your point of view. It's it's kinda hard to divide and conquer when there's three options and you're only presented two when you take the the escape hatch. We're dealing with some pretty high level, very sophisticated psychological warfare, and the plebs are getting slaughtered. Their minds

11:32Richard Greaser are just getting slaughtered. The civil civilian casualties are out of control. People's brains are breaking left and right.

11:44Rod Palmer This is why people want to be pledged. They want to have Matthew Crater or they want to have Bitcoin mechanic or they want to have, Peter Realy or they want to have Gloria or they want to have Shinobi

12:02Rod Palmer tell them what to do, how to avoid getting rugged, how to be a a competent node runner, how to navigate this craziness. And they don't want to take responsibility for themselves and they they're looking out and they're saying

12:21Rod Palmer like all of my role models, all of the Cypher punks, all the core dads, all the podcasters, they are seeming less and less

12:33Rod Palmer legitimate, less of us. Like they know what they're talking they're just seeming more retarded or more like assholes. And now I'm like, oh, which hardware wallet do I use? Which node do I run? This start nine all my favorite podcasters say should you start this in $900 Like, I don't have my tuition to this university is $790 I I don't I don't know what decision to make anymore. And they're they're realizing they either have to make their own decisions or they they have to do something potentially retarded.

13:07Richard Greaser We're in desperate need of a, Bitcoin community college right now.

13:14Rod Palmer Yeah. Yeah. I mean, people don't need to spend $1,600 to learn how to use a node to the it's they can they can get a little laptop from the community college and fucking set up the quinkle war on that or not, whichever one they want.

13:33Richard Greaser I don't know if it was like you or like this for you when you were going to college, but was there a stigma around community college?

13:42Rod Palmer Like, I I Yeah. Of course. It was it was it was definitely it was, you know, a community college was kinda like, you know, there was no prestige attached to it. Nobody was proud to go to community college. Community college was kind of like the, you know, the off brand like the instead of Lucky Charms it's like you know, Lucky Nuggets or whatever. It was

14:09Rod Palmer the Community College was the when you asked your mom. Hey, can we go to college? She said, We got college at home. And that was a community college. Interesting. Yeah. It's like wearing Puma instead of Nike. Exactly. Exact or, like, US Polo Association instead of,

14:26Richard Greaser just Ralph Lauren. There I I don't know. I never understood this. You oftentimes get a better education at community colleges. This is what people are failing to see. You get a better education for way less money. And we're desperate need of one in Bitcoin. It Bitcoin University I was tweeting at the Department of Education. I decided to be kinda like, Justin Betchler and, and Pleneter. You know? They're always tweeting about at the SEC about, you know, Dave Bailey or whoever. And I was like, okay. Well, you know, if this is the trend, if we're gonna tweet at government agencies,

15:02Richard Greaser you know, begging them to, use their course of powers against people, might as well use it. And I think Crowder was doing that this week. Right? He he was, like, tagging the FBI or something? Yeah. Yeah. Crowder was he was Crowder

15:15Rod Palmer if anybody has thought about child pornography specifically on Bitcoin, for forty hours per week like for the past four you know cycle or so it's Crowder and this dude and he was sharing and posting his his perspective all week and he was tagging the FBI and he was accusing CORE of being

15:39Rod Palmer child porn relay relayers or you know sympathizers. It was it was crazy. But, yeah, he was, for some reason, you know, tagging all the law enforcement agencies, and trying almost he was almost like a snitch or something, and it's very strange. This just escalates to swatting.

16:00Richard Greaser I'm surprised we haven't seen that yet. It's the only the it's the only logical conclusion that, you know, where things go. And, it's really unfortunate. It's really I I I'm very disappointed with a lot of people

16:17Richard Greaser that their brains are breaking this bad. I I mean, it's just it it should be obvious that people, you know, who have been refusing to smoke cigarettes, have been refusing to listen to read Atlas Shrugged, refusing to listen to forty eight hours of Bitcoin podcast would be this retarded. We need a conference for people that aren't retarded. There's some sort of, like, test to get in. You have to smoke a cigarette in line to get gain entrance to the conference. That's the only way.

16:49Richard Greaser That's like a big that's something Yeah. A lot of retarded people aren't willing to fake. You know what I mean? They're they'll be like, I'm not going to I'm not smoking a cigarette.

16:58Rod Palmer Right. Do you it's like you have these tests to prove you're not a fed. If the test to prove you're not a cop, you have to have a test to prove you're not retarded. You have to have a test to prove you're not some, you know, zealot. You need to be able to do it at scale. I mean, that's kinda what group chats are. Right? Like, you have these by and talk

17:20Rod Palmer podcast, group chats, and they're very esoteric. They have very specific memes. They have very specific, hashtags and things like that. So it's very difficult for a fed or a retard to,

17:38Rod Palmer fool anybody and get into the signal chat or the Telegram channel or the crew chat, of your of your closest podcast friends. We need to have their conferences. We need something that

17:55Rod Palmer keeps them resistant.

17:58Richard Greaser Yeah. The biggest thing that I found really strange is, my experience with Bitcoin, using Bitcoin, being around it, being around people that use it, it just continues to grow better.

18:15Richard Greaser It's been my experience. It's just that, you know, this whole year has been great. Life's getting better. I'm enjoying it more. I'm having more fun. I'm enjoying the people I'm with and I'm talking with more. And the plaids seem to be having the opposite experience. Everything is getting worse for them, significantly worse. Yeah. They're doing doing something wrong

18:40Richard Greaser here? Should I should I be doing something different and having a bad time? Is that what the right thing to do is?

18:48Rod Palmer Well, and this is where you get into the point where you almost feel like you're gaslighting yourself or you're being gas lit. Because you don't know if your optimism you you if you were out there, you feel like a pioneer. You're on the frontier. The user experience is, you know,

19:08Rod Palmer it's a roller coaster ride but you're conquering it every time you're solving it. And you feel like you're having a good time and you look back at your at the pledge and they and they're freaking out they're doomscrolling. It makes you feel like, am I the one who's detached from reality? And I'm am I crazy? Should am I am I drive a blind spot. Is something bad about to happen? Or are the plaids and the, the grumpy people are they just trapped in their own in, like, a prison of their own

19:36Richard Greaser creation? Well, I definitely think there's bad things that are going to happen, but it doesn't mean that my entire life should be a miserable existence.

19:47Rod Palmer Right, just because there's just because there are some risks involved with life in general doesn't mean that you should be grumpy just because Bitcoin is not perfect right now doesn't mean that you should be grumpy. Just because a little bit of spam, okay, which could easily be,

20:06Rod Palmer outbid for block space occurs at these really really low demand levels doesn't mean Bitcoin is dead. Just because, you know anything like lightning just because lightning isn't as successful as we thought it would be by now doesn't mean we should be grumpy. In fact, maybe it means we should be optimistic. Maybe it just means that there's more opportunities

20:33Rod Palmer for us to, you know, find value.

20:37Richard Greaser It's it's it's we're optimistic because we're still early. Guess we're talking about this stupid subject again. I'm I'm kinda getting tired of it, but it's relevant because every single week is my own, my entire Twitter feed is these fucking lunatics scream screeching at the top of their lungs about whatever fucking retarded shit that they don't understand. But there's some other stuff going on in the world, which is interesting. I talked a little bit. So have you listened to any of Joe Martin's music? No. I don't think so.

21:08Richard Greaser Papa turned me on to him. Like, I'd I'd heard of him before, but I I just never really gave a chance to to listen to him a whole lot. But he is probably the biggest wave like artist. He is, he's a singer songwriter. A lot of his songs are pretty simple. It's got some just him on the guitar and singing. It's actually really, really good, but,

21:35Richard Greaser I'm excited to see stuff like that. I'm excited to see, real artists doing real things and embracing Bitcoin. Yesterday, I spent a lot of time I was on a Zoom call with the bass player, Scardust. They have, like, a Patreon, what do you call it?

21:58Richard Greaser Patreon subscriber Zoom call periodically with, their subscribers. I'm a subscriber, and, he smoke he used to smoke he's a quitter, so I give him a hard time about that, but he used to smoke Camel Lights, and I thought that was pretty interesting.

22:16Rod Palmer Yeah. But, you know, Marlboro is kinda like the, the the first thing people think of when they think about cigarettes. But there's a not too small group of people who they're they're as big into Camel, like Joe Camel is their, Marlboro man.

22:37Richard Greaser I I should try and smoke Camels more often. I don't think they're bad, but I'm I'm just a Marlboro guy through and through. You know?

22:45Rod Palmer As long as we're as long as you're not a new port or a guy or a cool guy or, you know, Virginia Slims guy.

22:53Richard Greaser Yeah. I agree. They the new ports are gross. They're really gross.

23:01Rod Palmer Not for me. Not the Newports just there's something that, you know, it's just my family.

23:07Richard Greaser We've never smoked Newports. That's like something that would cause a fight in my family. Somebody shows up to Thanksgiving dinner or smoke in Newports. You know?

23:16Rod Palmer Yeah. Like, if your if your daughter came home smoking Newports on Thanksgiving after going to college, might cause a little bit of a a tussle.

23:26Richard Greaser Like, you you have, like, a racist family, and the daughter brings home a black guy for you know, and they get super upset about it. It's it's kinda like that, you know, except it's it it I I don't think it's warranted. I mean, I think it's a good litmus test for, you know, whether you're a decent person or not, have a brain. I would be pretty upset if one of my cousins brought a Newport smoke smoker

23:54Richard Greaser to the family gathering.

23:56Rod Palmer Yeah. I have I have respect absent respect for grandma, you know?

24:01Richard Greaser Probably it's like, you know, my, my cousin, Jill, been divorced, like, five times, five different husbands. Is she it's a racket. She's getting child support from, like, most of them. Doesn't have to work. Great deals just stacking a lot of Bitcoin, listening to Bitcoin podcast. But, Mike, if I if she brought home a new Newport smoker, her new boyfriend, soon to be, divorced husband. Yeah.

24:27Rod Palmer Manny, but what about, what if what if she brought home somebody who went to Bitcoin University? Would you respect do you respect them? Could you respect them?

24:41Richard Greaser No. I just make fun of them all the time. When you go to university, it doesn't have any sororities or fraternities. It doesn't have an athletic department. It's not accredited. It it's just because you just kinda make fun of them. I mean, it's just they deserve it. They think they're like, you you don't wanna dunk on people that are too retarded to know that they're retarded. You know what I mean? But, like, the the people that think that they're sophisticated and educated, and are completely retarded, they're they're definitely worth dunking on. My education has turned my life around completely. Now I have time to do things I enjoy.

25:23Unknown I didn't wanna take the easy way to success. I wanted a challenge.

25:28Unknown So what if the revolution doesn't have good UX? As an independent woman, I am not afraid of a bad user experience.

25:35Unknown But a real cypherpunk education, bad user experience and all, means nothing without accreditation. It's pointless without educators and professors with the proper credentials. That's why I chose the University of Bitcoin. That's why I chose the University of Bitcoin.

25:50Unknown The University of Bitcoin is a credentialed protocol first institution. Students learn how to transact adversarially, not about the latest drama or plevs lop.

25:59Unknown At University of Bitcoin, your time is valued. Professors don't pick and choose the Bitcoin podcasts you listen to. They help you increase your podcast entropy and your on chain confidence.

26:11Unknown Before you enroll in school to learn about Bitcoin, how to use it, or pay $790 for tuition, check out the University of

26:19Unknown Bitcoin. If you want to be a pioneer instead of just some pleb with a degree, check out University of Bitcoin. University of Bitcoin, education for pioneers.

26:35Richard Greaser But, yeah, I guess one of the big news stories is, Bitcoin University has a, competitor. The, the University of Bitcoin is

26:47Richard Greaser looking like a legitimate option, to go to, like a real accredited Bitcoin university.

26:54Rod Palmer Yeah. Yeah. Bitcoin University, it's a user here's the thing. Plebs are saying that a a hard UX, a challenging UX is racist. Someone said, like, they don't think that minorities from the global South, can can handle

27:14Rod Palmer can figure out a bad UX. So they've gotta dumb it down. But big University of Bitcoin doesn't believe that, and it's it's it's a the most difficult, you know, user experience that you can handle, that you can solve, it will, like, in facilitate and enable you

27:35Rod Palmer to be able to to solve for that and to get a higher education,

27:40Richard Greaser not one that's dumbed down. Yeah. I just like that their mascot is the pioneers. I think that's really telling. What do you think Kratt Krattner's University doesn't even have a mascot?

27:51Rod Palmer They don't have an athletic department. They don't have cheerleaders. They don't have, a gymnastics team. They don't have anything. They don't even have a chess team. They don't even have, like, a hacking team to go to, like, Bitcoin conferences and and win the hackathon.

28:09Richard Greaser They don't have a debate team.

28:13Rod Palmer They really it's just a Yeah. They definitely don't have a debate team. They they the not guys, the Quinn University guys, they keep agreeing to debates and then dropping out, especially once against Shinobi. So

28:29Richard Greaser It's a it's an institution of ill repute. Yeah. I can't imagine anybody's proud

28:35Rod Palmer to go to Bitcoin University or to be a graduate of Bitcoin University. University of Bitcoin on the other hand, it's proud pioneers. That's in the name. Right? Like, they have their they have a mascot that tells you what it, what it means to be a University of Bitcoin graduate, an alumni. Absolutely.

28:58Richard Greaser Well, I'm enjoying Nostril. I need to refill my, Nostril wallet because I zapped it all away this week. So problem with having, like, fairly decent UI access isn't, like, primal. It's been working for me. I mean, it's not the best, but the UX is too good. It's too easy to spend all your Bitcoin

29:20Rod Palmer really fast. That's true. They need to make, you know, zapping, and then they need to warn you. I wonder how many people I wonder if you could over overdraft your primal wallet. You have overdraft fees from zap and too many good morning posts. Yeah.

29:39Richard Greaser So you see that beef's getting real expensive again? They're killing all the cows again. Whatever happened to the beef initiative? I I don't know where Texas Slim is or what he's doing, but, I think we use a comeback at Bitcoin, ranchers.

29:56Rod Palmer Beef prices, last I checked, it was, like, over $9 and 50 USDT, for a pound of beef. And I think it's still going up. Like, they've been killing cows. I think Texas is slim. They almost feel like that he's being suppressed.

30:16Rod Palmer Like somebody's trying to keep him from posting. I haven't seen too many people posting about eating steak, being carnivores. It seems like there's a concerted effort to suppress people from talking about steak and red meat?

30:35Richard Greaser I thought I thought Trump was gonna fix all these things. I thought he was a beef max at once.

30:41Rod Palmer I mean, at the very least, he, you know, he loved fast food. He loved Big Macs, and we thought he would support the beef community that way, but it seems like he hasn't he was hanging out with Bill Gates the other day in the Oval Office. So they might be trying to, like, work a deal out to do an executive order that makes us eat, eat fake meat burgers.

31:05Richard Greaser You know it's bad when Trump's meeting with Bill Gates.

31:10Rod Palmer Yeah. What could what good could come of that? At least when he was with Elon Musk, at least we knew

31:17Richard Greaser that it was gonna be kind of a base. It's hard to really, like, feel good about somebody coming to your Bitcoin conference when they're sitting in the White House just, you know, very openly hanging out with the Epstein client list.

31:29Rod Palmer Well, that was the other thing in the news that, the team or the Speaker of the House claimed that Donald Trump was an FBI informant associated with the, the Epstein case. So like Donald Trump

31:44Rod Palmer was was there to keep tabs on everything so he could tell the FBI

31:50Richard Greaser what Epstein was up to. I don't know how I feel about that. So, like, his out as far as,

31:56Rod Palmer Is this what QAnon was talking about? That QAnon was all about the fact that Trump was an FBI informant that was keeping track of all the horrific things that Epstein was doing and not telling a single person about it for decades so that, he could become president, and at the end of his second term,

32:20Rod Palmer release a list of all the people that participated? Is that is that the QAnon conspiracy?

32:27Richard Greaser I don't know if he was an informant or if he his mission was to go after them, but, yeah, the QAnon guys are fucking retarded. The one thing that we know about snitches so the speaker of the house, like, is trying to give Trump an out from being a pedophile by calling him a snitch. And snitches are, like, almost

32:55Richard Greaser always guilty. You know, they're engaging in the whatever activity that can be used against them, and they're they're trying to find it out. So, generally, the spooks, they go and they get some leverage and flip somebody into being a snitch. So I feel like that's almost more damning than it is, vindicating

33:16Richard Greaser for him being a pedophile.

33:19Rod Palmer Mhmm. That's interesting. So it's, you know, the idea that the snitches are usually guilty of something just makes me think of I mean, I know we didn't wanna bring this up again, but

33:34Rod Palmer the discourse on on Bitcoin Twitter the past few days of people just going in and and trying to tag law enforcement agencies and say that people are engaging in, sharing child porn on on the Internet on Bitcoin. It's always like they're using,

33:54Rod Palmer this similar to, like, Jeffrey Epstein. Right? Like, using child porn and pedophilia as blackmail, trying to use that in the government. It's, like, almost, like, people are trying to use that in the culture.

34:07Richard Greaser Yeah. I think they've realized it's really the only way to to make any progress. Like, they they're watching Elon Musk get these big government contracts because he's calling the president and pedophile on Twitter. And, do you see that Trump likes Elon again?

34:23Rod Palmer Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I saw that. Maybe you only call them a a pedophile child sex trafficker two months ago, and now they're friends again.

34:37Richard Greaser Yep. So either either Elon, like, knows it's true and is just so morally bankrupt that now he likes him again or, he's just willing to to go I don't know. Again, that looks bad for Elon. He looks like a fucking idiot in this situation. But yeah. I mean, the, the Bitcoin platives are looking at this. This is like, this is how to get what you want in the world. You just gotta call people pedophiles or, you know, whatever, accuse them of child porn, and, that's what they get to what they want.

35:08Rod Palmer Or, you know, we talked about this. Like, Elon spent his pedophile tokens a little too early, but he is the richest man in the world, so he might have, like, traded some carbon credits or something and who knows where else he traded. He could have traded some, some

35:25Rod Palmer data from Twitter, some agreements about Twitter to get his, his pre mined pedophile tokens back because he saw, like, Trump and Bill Gates in the White House together, and he's like, oh, shit. Like, I need to get my my pedophile tokens back. I need to get back into the Oval Office. I'm left. I'm feeling FOMO.

35:44Richard Greaser Maybe there's something kinda going on there. You know, the more I talk about it, the more I enjoy this shit. It's interesting to watch. And I think that they the reason why I'm enjoying it is not because like, it's obviously fucked up and depraved. Like, there's a reason why, you know, I write the music that I do. I I, you know, write the stuff that I do. You know, I talk the way I do about things is because it's very obviously fucked up and depraved. There's reason why I left, the traditional media

36:13Richard Greaser in general is super fucked up and depraved. But the the the part that I'm enjoying about is becoming very obvious to to normal people that's fucked up and depraved. They can't hide from anything before, and it it feels vindicating. I I I don't think things are getting worse in the in the, in how just dark these people are, but I I think it is just becoming more apparent.

36:39Rod Palmer You know What it is what it is that I'm enjoying about it is that now that it's only are you forced to talk about or forced to hear about Epstein and what the government's been doing and, like, all this,

36:56Rod Palmer the dating parties and how it's all connected, and to Bill Gates, and to Elon Musk, and to Trump, and to the Democratic Party, and to the CIA, and to Mossad. It not only are you forced to think about it and forced to see it, but now you're forced to talk about it. And some of your friends and family who have been ignoring you and into trying to not talk about this stuff for years in some cases. Now they are asking you about it because they get to talk about it at work, And they wanna have some good, gossip, some good details to share works, and now they're coming to you and asking you the question. So it's like, I was right, now I get to talk about it. Yeah. People are going to podcasters

37:42Rod Palmer to learn about Diddy parties and and and Epstein stuff, so they can take it back to their to their church, to their meetup, to their four h club?

37:54Richard Greaser Being honest, being, intellectually honest, being, you know, having moral characters, becoming destigmatized. Whereas, previously, you know, the majority of society just found it astounding that people would be that way.

38:11Rod Palmer People didn't wanna associate with you because you might ruin the vibe of a party, but now you're kinda like the whole vibe of the party because of this fun, you know, it's you have this breadth of podcast knowledge that you can now share, and make things interesting.

38:31Richard Greaser The question missed it. The question is is, like, where would we be without podcasters? Nowhere. Things would be horrendous right now without podcasters. People wouldn't wanna listen to you at parties. People wouldn't, you know, you there there wouldn't be this this impact. But now, people that are you know, the podcast listeners are becoming the,

38:55Richard Greaser you know, the, intelligentsia. They're becoming the smartest, most educated people in our society.

39:04Rod Palmer Not only that. I mean, on the BlockSpace Media podcast, the Guart show. Guart, that'd be it was Hester Pierce. Right? The, the SEC commissioner is now listening to Bitcoin podcasts

39:21Rod Palmer to help her be informed about the SEC should regulate the Orangeville financial markets. Notice that she

39:31Richard Greaser she didn't say Bitcoin University. She said Bitcoin podcast.

39:36Rod Palmer Right. Right. She the the top influencers, the top high profile graduates, government officials, Wall Street Executives,

39:50Rod Palmer they cite when they go on CNBC, when they go on the news, they cite Bitcoin podcasts not Bitcoin University. And that's kind of the opposite in most

40:01Rod Palmer rounds of media, right? They're always citing universities.

40:05Richard Greaser Do you know that politicians listen to our podcast?

40:08Rod Palmer Yeah. I mean, I guess, I I knew that in theory or, like, whatever, but they don't know any specific examples.

40:16Richard Greaser Cynthia Lomas. I don't know if she listens to every episode. I don't think so. She's too busy doing all their stupid shit, you know, just being a typical politician, but she's listening to it.

40:28Rod Palmer We always said that we have hot chicks listening to our podcast. That's just another example. Do you hear about this new,

40:36Richard Greaser implementation Bitcoin implementation called knobs?

40:41Rod Palmer Yeah. I mean, this is breaking. This is, and I I don't know who released knobs. It seems like it might be Cali is involved.

40:52Richard Greaser It's Michael Tidwell, I guess.

40:55Rod Palmer Michael Tidwell. Okay. Is that Tapcom guy?

40:60Richard Greaser Yep. Okay. Yeah. I'm, I I think it's an interesting, implementation, and I I wanna take a look at it. Apparently, it's a it's a fork of NAS, but I think you can actually submit, a poll request to it.

41:15Rod Palmer Oh, interesting. Yeah. I mean, looks like, we tweeted about it, with this picture of Sydney Sweeney. So we're right we're looking into NOS. Still run Buick Core, but I'm looking into knobs now.

41:33Richard Greaser Yeah. I think it's interesting. I'm excited to, I have yet to get on GitHub and look at it. I've I'm just hearing about it for the first time in the group chats. People are messaging me about it. It looks like, it looks like Knott's has become too cool for Clutter. Clutter's not happy with how fast,

41:51Rod Palmer Knott's has grown

41:53Richard Greaser and the, community that's building around it. I was arguing with Luke Junior this week about how shitty the the knots, logo is. And I was really disappointed to hear that Skyler, the designer, was behind it to some extent. Because Skyler has done some really cool shit. I don't know why he did such a horrible job with not. The logo is just like it's about as inspire uninspiring

42:20Richard Greaser as their rhetoric is.

42:23Rod Palmer Yeah. His work for, Payday for Bitcoin summer and speculative tech was much better than I mean, he's listen, like, it seems like Dennis Porter is working for knots. It almost seems like he's being paid. He doesn't seem inspired. He Demispard does not seem inspired when it comes to knots the way that he does when it comes to orange pilling Democrats.

42:47Rod Palmer And Skyler, he just doesn't seem inspired with, with that logo. It just seems like it's a cheap marketing effort. You see the, you know, in the there's a lot of posts,

43:02Rod Palmer crediting Shinobi for being the biggest, marketer for people running knots. And, you know, I I would that's not really a stat I would be proud of to be, like, my node is, the the node I run is the result of Shino's

43:21Rod Palmer advertising. Yep. It's just not the most inspired advertising.

43:24Richard Greaser I think that, the Nance guys have been some of the biggest, advocates for not running a net and not, engaging on Bitcoin Twitter. I think I think we've seen a dramatic fall off of people being interested. They're they're the Bitcoin Twitter right now, a lot a lot of people that have been on there, they they're just like, wake me up when September ends. Like, hopefully, this shit'll be over. That's where they're at right now. I think if we, you know, it's

43:52Rod Palmer the not gonna node aspect of it is, if we were to see a a number of people in the world, that population growing, and compare and count all of those people in not gonna node. I think the not gonna node percentage would be just going parabolic compared to the amount of people running knots or core. So I think, really, it's all just been the advertisement for not gonna node. Yeah. Absolutely.

44:17Richard Greaser Well, you got any other topics before we, move over to the found boost?

44:22Rod Palmer No. I think, I think

44:24Richard Greaser all the topics we could be talking about this week have been exhausted. Just gain or retarded folks. It's your choice on how to deal with it. You can either submit to, the pressures, like, trying to push you to be gay and retarded, or, you can, try and do something inspiring and and interesting with your life. One thing I do wanna say, I miss Tip NZ a lot. I don't know where she went, but, I was listening to her music today. And I was I I was wishing she was still around so I collaborate with her on some stuff because I've been I did a rap song. I'm gonna end this episode with it. But, yeah. First boost,

45:06Richard Greaser Beliza 1,010 says banger intro song. Well, yeah. Pastor Jeff's and the, mountainside worship team, They got some good, they got some good tunes. They're gonna give Hillsong, church a a run for their money. The next one

45:24Rod Palmer is for, 500 sats from Turkey. He just based the episode, no rep or no boost comment. Thank you, Turkey.

45:34Richard Greaser Turkey, thank you for being a subscriber, to the show. I I forgot to do that last week. I'll I'll read off who our subscribers are this week. But, I really appreciate you. Appreciate those guys. Otis Bittmeyer, 5420 sat said, all this talk of plebs reminds me of something a wise man once said. When I was a pleb, I talk like a pleb. I thought like a pleb. I reasoned like a pleb. When I became a pioneer, I put the ways of plebhood behind me.

46:06Richard Greaser Well said.

46:08Rod Palmer All said indeed.

46:09Richard Greaser We got an episode with, Otis Bitmire that you guys should check out. I it will be published by the time you're listening to this. Great chat with Otis, one of one of my favorite people, one of my favorite Bitcoin pioneers. He he's a guy that I always pick up the phone if he called me and wanna talk to him unless I was having sex with my wife or something. But, like, I don't know. You you you know, even if he called me during sex, maybe I'd pick up. I don't know. That'd be kinda weird. But he he's one of those guys. You know? You pick up the phone, a guy I wanna hang out with for sure.

46:46Richard Greaser And he's selling his coffee. So you want you want some great pioneer coffee? Hit up Otis.

46:55Rod Palmer Absolutely. Same to you, Otis. Couldn't agree more. Next one is from S and B five hundred, and that's, Southside. Dave, long time listener, long time boisure, 100 sats. Ocean and nots don't want Bitcoin core devs to have sex. Bitcoin maxis are mad at paper Bitcoin summer. Real Bitcoin clubs stay humble and stack sats. Salute emoji. Dave,

47:23Rod Palmer I I know you of all people know, the real Bitcoin pioneers stay humble and stacks at. I shouldn't have to I shouldn't have to correct you, Dave. Come on. You know this. You're not a Plattier pioneer. Yeah.

47:38Richard Greaser Dave's been too busy listening to this week in Bitcoin. That's his problem. Appreciate the boost, Dave, though. Appreciate you too. Pies, a 121 sat says LFG. Salute emoji, strong-arm emoji, mushroom emoji.

48:00Rod Palmer Oh, yeah. Thank you, Pies. Next

48:03Richard Greaser one. I learned something. The the strong-arm emoji made me think of something. So, you know, do you know that, people that, have stairs in their house are more like are less likely to do leg day? It's interesting.

48:16Rod Palmer Everybody's, yeah. But walk upstairs every day. It's harder to walk upstairs to squats. Super sore. Yeah. It is. No. Honestly, it's not walking up the stairs. It's walking downstairs. If you've ever done squats and you try to walk down the stairs, you are pretty scared you're gonna fall down because,

48:36Rod Palmer I it's hard to explain if you know, you know.

48:42Richard Greaser You know, your recovery time can get a lot better if, you take creatine, though. That's true. Drink a lot of water. And you can buy creatine on the Yep. Orange label store, by the way. That's right. I'll subscribe to that. And if you get

49:00Rod Palmer a good night's sleep, so listen to the Adam Back podcast, take creatine from, from Orange label, and, yep. But you gotta get sleep.

49:12Richard Greaser Sleep's a big part of it. Yeah. It's, Bitcoin podcast, certain ones definitely can help us sleep. Jeff Booth podcast, Out of Bad. Hell, yeah.

49:22Rod Palmer One who will, not be great for falling asleep. Willy Ballos, two angry cunts podcast, and he boosts us with 1,000 sats. Maybe their parents are the problem, if they're just at a house without a basement. Cheetos seen dicks are not becoming an a slacker.

49:47Rod Palmer Do you do you understand the context, that one, Richard?

49:53Richard Greaser Yeah. Saying saying that, like, if, kids couldn't live in the basement, they'd be better off. The parents are the problem for enabling it. So, like, the kids are sitting in their, their base mother's basements, jerking off, eating Cheetos, so their their dicks are stealing Cheetos.

50:12Rod Palmer Sounds like a play to me.

50:15Richard Greaser I love Bubba, dude. Seriously, my my music show with him was, one of my favorite conversations I've ever had. I mean, his his perspective on the the world of music is just so fascinating. I think, you know, we should be shitting on a lot of these boomers, but, like, there are some good boomers out there. Bubba's a good boomer. Bummer Bummer is like or he was reading Al Shrugged before,

50:40Richard Greaser I was born. You know what I mean? So I got some respect for him, for that. He he's definitely it like, he's one of the reasons why, like, all hope isn't lost. And, but, yeah, just just hearing this like, I've got a tremendous amount of respect for people that dedicate their life to something, to their dreams, even if they don't make it. And,

51:09Richard Greaser he put out some really good music. His song, if you go on his YouTube channel, his song, Play the Night is a song that I really, really like a lot. It's very catchy. I just like the the beat and flow of it. He's got a great singing voice. But if you if you skip to the the end of the the music show, you can find that on our Twitter, or Liberty under or sorry. The Vol New Podcast should be uploading it to their feed at some point. But, if you skip to the very end of the episode,

51:40Richard Greaser we're we start talking about Bubba's music and music career, and that was my favorite part. But absolutely incredible guy. Again, another guy I'm always happy to pick up his phone call.

51:51Rod Palmer Yeah. Bubba is, Bubba's like one of those elders that will be around to will be good influence on broccoli haircuts. I think if there's any boomer that a broccoli haircut will listen to

52:05Rod Palmer and take advice from and in and benefit from that, it would be, it would be Bubba.

52:12Richard Greaser Yeah. I would consider him a sage, a wise old sage. And we need sages. We we we need those wise old men that have lived a lot of life, have experienced a lot, have seen the world change over a long duration of time that

52:32Richard Greaser have a perspective to give. People like that are are incredibly valuable. If you find them and they're not completely retarded, huddle them. Huddle them like Bitcoin. Jason c two thousand one hundred and twenty one sat says, Rod's AOL handle inspired me to say that you guys are the bear claw and garbage bag that is Bitcoin Twitter. Apologies for the double reference, but that's how things go sometimes. Hashtag forty h p w. Do you understand that reference? Yeah. Yeah.

53:06Rod Palmer He's basically saying we are you know, Bitcoin Twitter is shit, but, there's still some good like, we're the bear claw. We're the the good donut, in the in the shitty fucking pile of, discourse.

53:22Richard Greaser I guess I don't know much about donuts. I was just always been a cigarette and black coffee guy.

53:29Rod Palmer It was a compliment for sure. Appreciate it, Jason. Yeah. Thank you, Jason. And Jason's co host back on the chain, fundamentals, 10/2001 sats. Only on the vehicle will you learn that Asian selfies are fungible. That's right. I think that kind of speaks for itself. I think you kinda get the joke if you think about it for a few minutes.

53:54Richard Greaser Are Asians fungible in general?

53:58Rod Palmer That's, the Navy SEALs might think so.

54:02Richard Greaser They've all got a capacity. Oh, that's a that's a joke I don't think anybody's gonna get. We were talking about before the show, you know, an interesting story that the New York Times put out was that, apparently, the Navy SEALs went into, North Korea in 2019

54:25Richard Greaser and killed a bunch of civilians because they thought they were, North Korean soldiers.

54:30Rod Palmer And That's what that's what gets everybody wears the same uniform, and they look alike, and they seem fungible.

54:37Richard Greaser That's what happens. Yeah. I mean, I I don't really blame them too much for for thinking that they all look the same. I mean, it's just it's one of the dangers of of invading an Asian country in general. There's just gonna be a bunch of civilian casualties even if you have very strict, rules of engagement. There's no way to prevent it. They all look the same. That's why this this is a real reason why they decided to to drop the nukes on Japan. Like, fuck. If we go in there, we're just gonna kill just as many civilians because they all want to say.

55:10Rod Palmer Right. There's no way that we these fucking ragamuffins we've drafted off of the streets out of the, the Great Depression are gonna be able to tell the difference between Lee and and and and Chang. They're gonna shoot everybody. Might as well might as well just drop one bomb. Yep.

55:33Richard Greaser This is why The US should not defend Taiwan. Right. Exactly. We talked about this. There's no

55:38Rod Palmer it'll be like a bull in a China shot trying to to fight that war.

55:44Richard Greaser Like, how how the fuck do you defend an Asian country?

55:48Rod Palmer You know? It was it was going to be in the this is why the Vietnam nom war failed. We're fighting North Vietnamese, the South Vietnamese, the Vietcong, the the we're just shooting at everybody as well as semi civilian, civilian massacres.

56:05Richard Greaser It's like just imagine the US Navy rolls up. They're trying to protect Taiwan. They're just gonna be they're gonna be killing all the Taiwanese. They look the exact same as the Chinese. Like, how do you differentiate it? You can't. It's just

56:20Rod Palmer It's a fool's errand. It's, yeah.

56:24Richard Greaser This is not in the US military. Productive. After Vietnam, notice that the US military is really, kinda chilled out in, in Asia, and they've primarily been in The Middle East because at least you can tell the Arabs apart from each other or the Persians or whoever. It's like it's a much easier, war to fight for sure.

56:46Richard Greaser Our last boost is Lahav, cliff shark, 9999 sats, and it is this meme of, Sydney Sweeney in her denim

57:00Richard Greaser with her boobs out, looking really good. And it says, it's okay to be a court node.

57:09Rod Palmer It is okay.

57:11Richard Greaser It's a good meme, Mohave.

57:14Rod Palmer It is.

57:17Richard Greaser You wanna tell a story, an effective storytelling because what what a meme is is is it's storytelling. Telling a a story with boobs, that that's a way to to break through to a lot of people. It it get it gets guys to look at it. You know what I mean? That's what lesbian alone.

57:35Rod Palmer Yeah. That's HBO is a multimillion billion dollar platform because it learn how to tell stories with boobs.

57:45Richard Greaser Yeah. I never thought of that. That's that's great. Yeah. That's that's a huge part of their success, for sure. Well, that's it for the boost. Yeah. I did wanna talk about our subscribers. So, oh, somebody dropped off. I don't know who it was. Anyways, we got six six subscribers right now. We got Late Stage Huddle,

58:09Richard Greaser one of our good friends. Great guy. Awesome guy. Big fan of Late Stage Huddle. Turkey, hope to meet you someday. Jason c, Southside Dave, open mic, Avi Burra, and Shadrach. Shout out to Avi. Like what that guy's doing over at, Plug Chain Radio. Great member of the,

58:34Richard Greaser intellectual silk road. Been chatting with the open mic. He's working on some cool shit. Big fan of that guy. And then, good friend Shandrak, doing all sorts of stuff. He he's been all over,

58:53Richard Greaser the the PASNIA radio talking about mesh networks. He's super amped up on mesh networks. And I guess that's a that's a useful thing to be thinking about. The one of the big stories that happened this week was that a, a line, an Internet line that went under the Red Sea got caught, causing issues for Microsoft.

59:21Rod Palmer There was mostly causing India, problems for Indian influencers, posting on Twitter. Gunther Eagleman, and a bunch of other similar, like, far right wing, big accounts, 100 plus thousand

59:35Rod Palmer followers. None of them have tweeted since the the cable lines got cut in the Red Sea to the Internet, which made people think that it was, pretty funny that Gunther Eagleman

59:50Rod Palmer was the name of an account, like, of, you know, it just sounded like something an Indian influencer would, think was a Republican name. And, you know,

59:60Richard Greaser stuff you notice, I guess. Very interesting. But, yeah, mesh mesh networks are interesting. I've I've yet to I've yet to use BitChat. Everybody's it's hard to jump on whatever the current thing is. You know what I mean? Everybody's the current thing right now is BitChat. I'm, still playing around with, whatever the last one people are excited. Meshtastic. Have you been on BitChat yet? Is it worth getting over there?

1:00:27Rod Palmer BitChat's kinda like, the Orange Bill app. If you live in, like, New York City and you got, like, a bunch of people in your building that, that are on using BitChat. Otherwise, it's, you know, it's hard to find peers. But yeah.

1:00:47Richard Greaser Very cool. Well, that's it for today's episode, folks. I want to thank you for once again tuning into the bweekly. Make sure to share this show. The world needs third and fourth Dynamic News. They need content for the pioneers. We're not gonna enable your stupidity

1:01:06Richard Greaser of wanting to be a Peter pleb forever. We're gonna call you out. We're gonna encourage you to be better. You'll hear it here, folks. But, yeah, we'll catch you on the next edition of the Bugle Weekly. Thanks for tuning in.

1:01:42Unknown Yep. Uh-uh. The person on the TV screens for more war arguing that only dropping bombs can settle the score. More printing than surveillance, we've been here before. But the pain is so intense that it can't be ignored. Getting priced out of the things to bring you purpose. A generation aimlessly wandering, feeling worthless. The mashers are angry, arguing who to steal from. But I'm just here trying to experience freedom. Being a slave to no one is what I dream of, but the slaves around me want me to be them. There are days it feels like I'm all alone, consumed by the isolation of being unknown. I'm glad you're with me because I need it. Hopelessness is a lie, but you can't be alone to defeat it.

1:03:14Unknown There's a weight I drop from caring what people think. Why consider the opinions of the people bringing us to the break. I just wanna work hard, but they keep getting in my way. Leeching off my labor because they have best to pay. When sanity and honesty are discouraged and condemned, society lacks a moral compass. Truth is like dust in the wind. The temptation for despair grows like a raging storm. There is an anger in my chest for trying to make me conform. They tell me that I'm sick for trusting my gut and having conviction while they spin their tails of insidious fiction. They think my body and mind is their jurisdiction, yet the pictures they paint are riddled with obvious contradictions. The whole system is rotten from top to bottom. I will fight to the death before self respect is forgotten.

1:04:45Unknown The truth matters because lies have consequences. You can't get to where you want if you accept that pretenses. Democracy is about using bad information to form consensus. Learning what's real, you must learn to trust your senses. It hurts to see how the world works, but hurts more to to ignore it. Running up debts for future generations, can't afford it. Having a future worth living in lives to the few that can see. We rely on those who aren't willing to die in order to be free. Many choose to sacrifice their lives to protect the status quo. Dying for their rulers who sit in safety on their throne Despite all the chaos, we found each other somehow Hope is not lost because you're here with me now The evil is overwhelming but finding beauty isn't art Darkness is the absence of light Lighting a fire is a start Yeah.
