0:10Richard Greaser Rocking around the Bitcoin meetup at the Christmas in the air. Someone lost their seed face, says it's fine, it's backed up, I swear.

1:02Richard Greaser Rocking around the Bitcoin meetup, Stouts and lagers up. Someone's pitching layer twos while the bartender fills our cup. Then you'll feel the festive cheer when the price begins to spike. Everyone refreshing charts all throughout the night.

1:23Richard Greaser A huddle strong, no self pressure time chain ticking Christmas, stack some sets. See you next block high.

2:02Buster Cherry Hey, folks. Buster Cherry reporting in again with some sad news. Dennis Porter still remains in North Korea while the state department has assured the American podcasting community that they are doing everything in their power to bring him home as soon as possible. With the president making a statement saying the same last week, there appears to be no movement. Tucker Carlson had some words on the matter. America has one great ally in the world. Some think it is the state of Israel, but in reality, it is Dennis Porter.

2:29Tucker Carlson (AI) And that is why when Kim Jong Un kidnapped him, he undermined the very fabric of this country. Dennis believes supporting Bitcoin should be a bipartisan issue, but the politicians in Washington couldn't care less about Bitcoin, and it seems that they couldn't care less about Dennis Porter right now. While Dan Crenshaw is throwing expensive birthday parties that were funded by insider trading, our enemies are growing stronger. Hundreds of years from now, when children are studying the fall of the American empire, they will look at this moment.

2:58Tucker Carlson (AI) When politicians in Washington turned their back on our greatest ally and the enemies were able to use his skill sets. We must do everything in our power to bring Dennis home. While it is almost impossible to understand the happenings

3:10Buster Cherry inside the hermit kingdom, Reports are that Dennis is helping the fearless leader roll out knots nodes across the country in order to block spam. Many political pundits are speculating that this may be the core motivation of the kidnapping as Kim was concerned that North Korean plebs would start digging into the inscriptions on the v 30 nodes and getting some bad ideas. Regardless of the Bitcoin nation's motivations, it would seem that Dennis has convinced the great leader that refusing to host spam is the Juche way. North Korean state television reported that last Tuesday's Bitcoin meetup in Pyongyang set records as over 1,000,000 North Korean plebs showed up to hear an undisclosed presentation from Dennis. We are all watching the situation closely. Make sure to follow the bugle for breaking updates on the story. Once again, folks, this is Buster Cherry, and I hope you have a great rest of your day despite this difficult news.

4:11Richard Greaser Welcome, folks, to the Bugle Weekly. We are approaching Christmas. It is right around the corner. I hope you are in the holiday spirit. That you're feeling cheer,

4:24Richard Greaser getting excited to hang out with your family once again after Thanksgiving. And, man, this is gonna be a great Christmas. Paper Bitcoin winner is absolutely freezing right now. It is cold out there, folks, but, you know, the price is unexciting.

4:44Richard Greaser The fourth turning is in swing, and there's a lot of grumpiness, but pioneers are chugging away. And, we're working on a Christmas album. It's been a lot of fun. But, yeah, the the big news

5:03Richard Greaser to start out with, folks, is Dennis Porter has convinced the state of North Korea to adopt not as the official country's Bitcoin implementation. They are the first in the world. They have stolen Dennis Porter

5:20Richard Greaser from The United States, taken him off the table. We have had no announcements for the past twenty days, approaching twenty one days at this point. Is North Korea gonna become the world's superpower as a result of Dennis Porter?

5:38Rod Palmer Well, part of what's going on right now is risk. We're feeling the squeeze. I mean, we are we're an announcement in recession. Some people think that we may be entering an earnings recession.

5:55Rod Palmer We're definitely feeling it's it's getting close to bear market territory for the Bitcoin price at this point. The rest of the crypto market's in shambles. Even AI, you know, is people aren't sure if it's gonna hold on, but it's it's if you're a millennial pleb, it could be characterized

6:16Rod Palmer by, like, what the fuck? I'm only 40 years old, and I'm already living through the third time in my life where the plebs might not get presents at Christmas. Like, this is, like, before turning mind to hear, and, like, I didn't get presents for Christmas twice when I was growing up. And I I swore that my my

6:41Rod Palmer my GCA, I would save Bitcoin. I would listen to forty hours per week and that my children, my young my young pleds would not have to ever experience that you're without Christmas presents. And now that's, you know, that's a real reality. It's it's hard not to be grumpy in if you didn't prepare,

7:06Rod Palmer But it's it's easy. It's easy to talk about how much money David Daley, Corey Klevson, Michael Saylor, all the podcasters, how much money they have lost investors. It's easy to focus on that,

7:23Rod Palmer and to be concerned about, like, how are the c coiners, like, going to afford to take their families to Vale for Christmas this year. But this is also affecting the pleads. Like, there are pleads who are gonna have to decide between one you know, usually, they get their wife a whole basket of talisots. Now they're gonna have to choose, like, have to figure out 1¢

7:48Rod Palmer at best, maybe and maybe their kids don't even get new hardware wallets this year. Is it? It's easy to forget that, like, but that's a big deal. And proportionately, it's a it's a bigger disappointment.

8:02Richard Greaser It's definitely gonna be a a difficult Christmas for the plebs. I mean, it

8:09Rod Palmer I don't think that the I think that the naughty list, the plebs on the naughty list this year, Santa's naughty list, is probably gonna be higher than ever. We've already reported on this that, Santa discontinued its and now or, you know, it's a tracking

8:27Rod Palmer contract with Palantir, and, they've outsourced the naughty list tracking to Pledger. And there's one thing Pledger does not miss, and that is, purity test failing plebs. In enough strikes, you end up on the naughty list, no Christmas presents

8:46Rod Palmer for this split. You know, no Bitcoin socks this year for you.

8:51Richard Greaser Absolutely. On the on the flip side, I think the the Pioneer's Christmas is gonna be pretty outstanding. The one one thing that a Pioneer is good at is they're they're good at not allowing

9:09Richard Greaser the outside world getting them down too much because they're they're focused. They're dialed in on whatever they're doing. They're dialed in on their family. They're dialed in on building something for themselves. And, you know, one one of the things I I had this tweet the other night. It hit me like a lightning bolt. The difference between plebs and pioneers is pioneers

9:32Richard Greaser exchange and plebs demand. One of the reasons why the plebs are gonna be having a hard time, they they're not gonna be having Christmas presents, but they feel entitled to the Christmas presents. They are sitting there slamming

9:47Richard Greaser their fist on the table, looking for somebody to blame other than themselves as to why they don't have Christmas presents. Just because it's the foreturning and things are hard economically, doesn't mean that you don't have the capacity to, provide Christmas presents to your family and work your ass off.

10:08Richard Greaser The pioneer understands this.

10:10Rod Palmer The pioneer understands that along the way, along the cycles, that, you know, the more risk they take,

10:21Rod Palmer more podcasts they listen to, that they go on, just the more they innovate. You know? It's the risk of, you know, being on the frontier. Like, think of them in the nineteen thirties. You know, we not only were you going years without Christmas buds getting any Christmas presents. The clubs were happy to eat, you know, cabbage soup. They didn't have steak and shake.

10:48Rod Palmer They didn't have tahinis. It was you might be the user experience might be it might be starving.

10:59Richard Greaser Adam Samecca told me that he's gonna take his whole family to Steak and Shake for Christmas, his whole extended family.

11:07Rod Palmer He's got, like Nomsomeka's been in since, like, 2017, I think, or 2016. I mean, like, that's that's what that's what you do a decade for. You know? And it's, like, so you can afford to take your entire family. It's like I'm home alone. I just the dad takes his whole family in first class to France for Christmas, and he has, like, this huge house, get four real estate. It's like, what the hell is that guy do? Well, it's like the equivalent today of, like, a big Pointer from 2017.

11:38Richard Greaser Absolutely. I so I watched, I'm gonna watch it again with my family for Christmas because it's a tradition. It's a yearly tradition, but I watched It's a Wonderful Life yesterday, and, there was this incredible moment. So

11:56Richard Greaser Sam Wainwright, you remember him in the story? The TF. Of course. He was the bit he was the Bitcoiner. I I had this realization. So, like, he he was the guy that invested in, you know, building factories. And he tried to get everybody into it

12:17Richard Greaser for making plastics when plastics became the big thing. So he he was in many ways, he's the guy that's responsible for why, you know, all these people have genetic, disorders and low t. You know, he was the the one that got the the microplastics and everybody,

12:34Richard Greaser the ball rolling, but he made a ton of money off of it. And, he had this incredible, I told you so, like, have fun staying poor George Bailey moment at the end of the movie.

12:47Rod Palmer What are you talking about? Which what's the what what does he say?

12:53Richard Greaser Well, he he shows up and he he saves Christmas. He's like he what he did was he extended a $25,000 loan to George Bailey who was short, like, I don't know, like $8,000 or something. And he's like he shows up, like, pretty much just like, yeah.

13:12Richard Greaser I can bail you out for Christmas, stupid no coiner, because I bought Bitcoin. And I listened to Bitcoin podcast, and I told you to, but you never did.

13:25Rod Palmer Yeah. Like, when you guys go, you know, like, damn, inflation is so bad. I can no longer afford a turkey big enough to feed my family. I I can't get cornbread. Like, even thank god my son-in-law is coming. He's a Bitcoiner. He's gonna take us to shake Steak and Shake. Christmas has been saved. Like, that's what you do it for. Like, that's

13:48Rod Palmer or at least at least you want to be able to do that for your family.

13:54Richard Greaser Well, just just think about how glorious the situations are gonna be, you know, going forward in the future. I know the the price isn't as exciting this year. But when Dennis Porter comes back and he brings the God announcement, which leads to the God candle, you'll be able to be that guy showing up at Christmas. Just being like, yeah. Have fun staying poor, loser.

14:16Rod Palmer When your, when your father-in-law when his, you know, his credit card, his Visa gets declined at the restaurant, you can pull out your phone and open the strikeout and be like, don't worry, dad. I got this. You can pay him Bitcoin. And he he just said he has to sit there. You know, he has to be he has to be humbled. He has to be in the the

14:41Rod Palmer the humble club chair.

14:43Richard Greaser It's a powerful position to be in. That that that's a big part of what the holidays are about. It's about flexing on your family members who don't listen to Bitcoin podcast. It's part of it's part of the reason that, you know, host a host a dinner. It's just to rub it in. You don't have to spew a plug swap. You don't have to talk about Bitcoin. Should be like, yeah. You see that block clock? That costed $900.

15:12Richard Greaser You see that university diploma on the wall? That costed $750. Oh, you see that, CryptoCloaks trinket? The the 20 hand grenades, each of those cost of $25. I've got a 100 of them. You see that trinket? You see that umbrell node? You see that start nine server?

15:33Richard Greaser $9,900. Look at all the trinkets I have that I can afford because I listen to Bitcoin podcast.

15:40Rod Palmer You see that over there? Yeah. That's the back letter there, starting breaking ground on the addition of added to my Cape Cod here in the sea, gotta permit from the sea, and it add addition to the house and just for all my trinkets. It's gonna be my own personal podcast studio.

15:59Richard Greaser Yeah. I mean, it's just, like, the the the tour of the house is so glorious. You're like, here's the main x artwork. Here's the, the driveway. You see how there's no snow in the driveway? Well, that's because I dug it all up, and I I'm running Bitcoin miners with water hoses underneath to melt the snow. And then you go inside and you're like, oh, here's 20 of my bid access. I don't play lottery anymore.

16:25Richard Greaser I have these. And then you've got I mean, it's just imagine the tour of a house just full of trinkets, top to bottom,

16:36Rod Palmer everywhere. Oh, dude. I I, I was talking to this guy the other day, his grandpa, his boomer grandpa, He had gambled all of his Social Security checks away at the slot machines, and so he had he had taken in his this was a grandfather

16:55Rod Palmer clock that it, had been in his family since the, since the seventeen hundreds, and he had traveled to, the Duke of Kentucky. It was, you know, from London where it was originally manufactured. And he he took it to a pawnshop, and he took the collateral, then he bought,

17:16Rod Palmer he bought some Bitcoin so he could make some predictions on predicts, on the prediction market. And he, unfortunately, got it wrong. So my buddy, he got a a steal on a grandfather clock from London that's a couple 100 years old, and, he fucking took it apart, and he put in a custom Mike Block clock,

17:40Rod Palmer display and took out, like, the it's super complicated, like, you know, the original clock with all the hand, like, the gears and cranks and, like, all the, like, the meticulous like, it's just super complicated stuff for place of a block clock. That it was this awesome. It's like, you can get the trinkets from the boomers, from the pawn shops when they are, when they run out of Social Security.

18:02Richard Greaser That's awesome. I didn't even consider that. Yeah. I mean, that's that's probably gonna be one of the biggest signs of hyper Bitcoinization is when you see the pawn shops full of Bitcoin trinkets.

18:15Rod Palmer They're gonna you're gonna go into a pawn shop, and it's gonna have fucking, you know, some crypto, I know, some fucking, Solana node running in the back, and so you're gonna be able to, like, boomers, you're gonna, like, once they run on a social security, they're gonna put their take the deed to their house,

18:34Rod Palmer to one of their their third house, and they're gonna pawn it off by tokenizing it at the pawnshop on Solana so they can get more fucking money to gamble away at the slot machines. We're gonna go in, and that's, you know, pay give all this stuff on the discount.

18:52Richard Greaser Yeah. One one thing that's really funny about pawn shops is they they have a bunch of e ways that they try to sell for hundreds of dollars. They've got old computers that are way too old to be functional. You've got

19:10Richard Greaser like, you you go in and you see a computer from, like, 2010 that they're trying to sell for $200. You see a TV for, like, $20.14 that they're also trying to sell for, like, a $150.

19:26Richard Greaser Like, they they just have e waste. You know, probably, you you'll see this with all the old doodads that used to be popular.

19:36Rod Palmer It's true. It's like a antique shop.

19:40Richard Greaser Like, there were there was this, shitcoin miner thing that you could convert to Bitcoin that pump used to advertise way back in the day called, coin mine. You'll see those. You can mine, Grin and

19:58Richard Greaser whatever else. There'll be things like that. The the old old trinkets. The new plaids, you know, might buy it. But yeah.

20:10Rod Palmer So it's slab antiques?

20:12Richard Greaser Predicts has been pretty interesting. I don't know a ton about the platform, but I'm I'm glad that there's one that's a little bit more engaged with the the culture than Polymarket. I know I I was a huge fan of the idea of Polymarket until I tried to get on the website and realized that you needed, USDC to trade on it. And I think they they opened it up. But,

20:36Rod Palmer yeah. It's, I think they got a big wood coming up with, Jake Paul and Anthony Joshua, which is I mean, this is, like, the plex slop, Super Bowl, honestly. It's a YouTube podcaster versus, one of the top athletes in the world.

20:56Rod Palmer For some reason, they're finding each other. And you get the ball and it wins. So you have to decide, like, is this a sigh up? Or is this podcaster, Ashley, the biggest badass fighter in the world?

21:10Richard Greaser So predicts lost your market this week. Depending on, will Dennis Porter post a tweet before January 1? So I've been watching that very closely. Both of you and I have ongoing predictions. We both do not think that Dennis Porter will be tweeting. So I guess we're bearish on the US State Department's

21:32Richard Greaser ability to negotiate the return of Dennis Porter to The United States. Dennis is a lot of people out there, they they talk about Israel being America's biggest ally, but in reality, our biggest ally is Dennis Porter. And,

21:51Richard Greaser it's just an an unfortunate like, Buster Cherry at the beginning of the the show did an update. Dennis is, drawing the Bitcoin plebs to the meetups in in Pyongyang, hidden records.

22:04Richard Greaser He is rolling knots nodes out around the country, which makes a lot of sense, that the Kim government would want

22:18Richard Greaser to filter potentially harmful inscriptions, that because there's journalists out there that could be, you know, inscribing things to try and communicate with the North Korean plebs. Like, there there's groups like HRF for a while that have been trying to sneak flash drives into the country with, like, cartoons like SpongeBob on it to, subvert the, the Juche

22:44Richard Greaser ideology of of promoted by the great leader, and, inscriptions could be doing that. So it makes sense that they would wanna filter. They've been they've been filtering, you know, most of what the people in that country have been experiencing for a while, but it's interesting to watch. It's sad to watch, in my opinion.

23:05Rod Palmer Do you think that with the new can select the new policy on off return when it's size that we could start seeing people inscribe podcasts

23:20Rod Palmer into blocks and then putting them on Open Dimes and smuggling in Open Dimes, through, you know, sending in donkeys with open dimes

23:31Rod Palmer up their butts and distributing them them to the North Koreans who are desperate for signal right now. I mean, they'll take whatever they can get. It would be a little slow, but I mean, think about 1999. If you were around, and you wanted to download Jimmy World or, you know, e six m p threes on Napster, it took sometimes like, if you if you have, like, a 28 k, 56 k connection,

23:57Rod Palmer took days to download one f b three. It took twenty minutes to download pictures of sexy wrestling women from WWF in bikinis for the picture to even load, but you waited. User experience wasn't great,

24:12Rod Palmer but you waited because it was it was content that you wanted. It was the and there was no other solution. Podcasts on smelly open dimes that have been up, you know,

24:27Rod Palmer human donkeys, but, smuggling in content into North Korea. Not great user experience. But as you know, the front here does not always have a great user experience.

24:42Richard Greaser Well, to clarify, they're not called donkeys. They're called mules. But,

24:46Rod Palmer you know Sorry. Sorry. That's right. That's right.

24:50Richard Greaser I don't know. It could be a possibility that, people are smuggling flash drives with certain parts of the Bitcoin blockchain stored on it. I don't know if it'll be as much OpenDime, but, yeah, I kinda get the the the imagery that you're trying to present as a possibility.

25:10Richard Greaser I mean, it is it's not I'm not I'm not a sophisticated

25:14Rod Palmer podcast smuggler. Like, I'm just, you know, in the open dime idea maybe is not the best idea, but I'm trying to kick start people's creative thinking. Like, nobody has good ideas in it's an open dime up on mules butt with we're having a little recap episodes on it is the best we can do. I think we should at least you gotta start somewhere.

25:35Richard Greaser Well, I think there's a there's a question that podcasters need to ask themselves, which is, are they actually a Bitcoin podcaster if their podcast isn't inscribed to the Bitcoin blockchain?

25:54Rod Palmer Yeah. If a if a bear shits in the woods and nobody's there to see if it had happened, if a podcaster releases if a pleb releases if pleb publishes a podcast and he doesn't get recorded

26:08Rod Palmer on the, ledger of record for all of history, did that pleb even have a podcast? Does that pleb even have a podcast? If nobody listening to it, if nobody's describing it, does it does it exist in that, you know, kind of that

26:28Rod Palmer philosophical sense, not so much to look does that data literally exist?

26:34Richard Greaser If and when the cyber pandemic happens and they sanitize the Internet, the answer is probably no. History won't remember you having a a podcast, which is, you know, why it's important to describe your podcast on the Bitcoin blockchain. I I I think Right. What one of the most exciting things about the potential of Bitcoin is being decentralized

26:59Richard Greaser RSS hosting.

27:02Rod Palmer Those could be done in a variety of ways. But to me, I'm gonna go back to this point. Some people some clubs are out there, and they might be thinking, I wanna release a podcast, but I'm worried that a prankster, a, you know, a graffiti what do they what do they call

27:22Rod Palmer graffiti is, like, anyways, it's it's like cultural terrorist. Somebody's gonna put my podcast on Bitcoin, and it's going to be controversial because ordinals and inscriptions and, decentralized databases for that use case anyways is very controversial, and they don't want to be controversial. They want

27:44Rod Palmer to put on a podcast, be invited to conferences, and crew chats, and things like that. They they wanna be in the in crowd. They wanna be purity test passing maximalist. And if they end up on being ascribed, it becomes controversial and people might might be happy with them, and they're afraid of that. And this is just a classical dilemma. It's like thinking about n g u, thinking about the price go up, and it's like, there's gonna be not there's gonna be no supply, there's gonna be nothing but buyers, and the price is just gonna go up. But there's two sides to every trade. There is always a sell side. If your podcast isn't controversial,

28:21Rod Palmer if your podcast doesn't offend somebody, there's 8,000,000,000 people in the world. If it doesn't offend at least one of them, I don't I don't know if it's real. It's not a real it's it's a illiquid market for your content.

28:36Rod Palmer There's nobody there to like it or dislike it. And if, you know, you can't be afraid for pledge to make pledge grumpy with your podcast, especially if your podcast makes not Bitcoin. Because that's the only way you can grow and there's the only way that you can boost your engagement is pledge who are very focused on watching all content that comes through in each block

29:02Rod Palmer and putting it through its purity test filters. And if yours doesn't set off an alarm bell and piss them off, like, it's it's gonna be hard to grow.

29:12Richard Greaser One one thing that is important to understand about the foreturning is this is impossible the only way to not offend anybody is to have no listeners of your podcast. You're gonna offend some everything is controversial

29:31Richard Greaser in the four turn. Just the the most mundane things that shouldn't be controversial are become controversial because everybody's wound up. Their nervous systems are just you know, they're they're on red alert.

29:52Richard Greaser They're they're just continuously getting more and more and more anxious as a result of things constantly changing. They're under pressure. That this is what's happening.

30:06Richard Greaser So you go out there and you say something noncontroversial like, Bitcoin is money or tits are good,

30:17Richard Greaser and somebody's gonna get offended. Somebody's gonna get offended. You you know, you might have you might go out there and you say that tits are good, and then all of a sudden, an ex Islamist extremist comes and shoots up your podcast studio because they think they're you're you're trying to subvert their religion by by suggesting that women shouldn't wear burkas.

30:40Rod Palmer And if you think that that's the only way that this might go down, you need to check your your privilege. You need to check your Western privilege. It's not just ISIS who's gonna shoot up your podcast studio over this. It could be Arizona Huddle. Arizona Huddle had a a big tweet that I just saw yesterday,

31:01Rod Palmer and it was like four requests. It was like make money hard again. And the second request was make tits hard to see again. And I I was with them on the first one. I was like, dude, make money hard again.

31:17Rod Palmer Hard men deserve hard money. Hard money should be hard to hard to use. Hard money is the future. But making tits hard to see again? I don't know. This kinda seems like a trade off that is unnecessary. But you like like you said, like, you're going to offend people if you

31:38Rod Palmer if you have a counter trade to that narrative and that thesis.

31:43Richard Greaser Is he against women in Bitcoin? Is that what what was he trying to say? Make tits hard to see again?

31:50Rod Palmer He thinks that there's he thinks that there's just too many too many boobs that are available for monitor for gooning. People are just gooning, and he wants to make it harder to do again.

32:06Richard Greaser I hear this perspective from time to time, and I I just get confused by it. I think the people are tattling on themselves when they have these perspectives based on the way that their their algorithms work. Because if if you if you get if you sit there and you just get you give the boobs too much attention in the timeline, like, the the the platforms you're on, they'll start dishing you boobs over and over again. And if that upsets you, it's kinda funny. I mean, it's like this this cycle where

32:40Richard Greaser We could you mom.

32:44Rod Palmer Your mom has beliefs. That's who what fed you your whole life as a baby, as a baby pleb. That's how you were nourished. And your wife I I don't think they should be hard to see again. I think that if this is not some this is like Jordan Peterson. This is like the Muslims. It's like they wanna put women in in burkas

33:05Rod Palmer where they wanna say, like, Jordan Peterson doesn't want women to wear makeup and, pretty dresses to work because it makes it hard to focus on, doing your spreadsheets. That's a you problem. The fact that boobies exist and are

33:22Rod Palmer available for viewing in the world is not a bad thing. If you are unable to put some forty hours of Bitcoin podcast per week because you are distracted looking at too many booms, you need to make things hard to see for yourself again. But, like, this is not something you should be imposing

33:41Rod Palmer on other plebs.

33:44Richard Greaser Well, I I don't even think it's you should make boobs hard to see for yourself. I I think it's you should make it easier to see your wife's boobs. You know what I mean? Like, it's it's there there there's two of us. A wife if you don't have

33:59Rod Palmer a wife, maybe you should get one part of course, but from, you shouldn't be excluded from looking at boobs just because you're not married is my opinion. Yeah. And you shouldn't be looking at booths that you or you don't have the boost consent to look at.

34:16Rod Palmer But if you do, I mean, just because you're married doesn't mean you when I was growing up and I think, you know, talk about inflation. When I was growing up, 18, 19 years old, you could see a pair of boobs at strip club for $1, and you still can't. You could touch them for $1. And

34:36Rod Palmer that is that's economic commerce. That is fair trade. That is that is the free market. I think that we should have a free market for boobs, and I don't think that they should be harder to see just because somebody like Arizona HODL can't control his horniness.

34:52Richard Greaser Yeah. You know, I'm not a big, like, advocate for strip clubs, but I'm not I'm I'm also not against them. I just don't because I I think the problem with the strip club is it it doesn't get the plebs more likely to to find a wife. If anything, it it it makes it harder for them in a lot of regards because, you know, we're in the foreturning. Things are expensive right now. And,

35:19Richard Greaser you know, it's just like like this this trend I've seen with the broccoli haircuts, they'll take a girl on the date, and then they'll split the check. It's just really weird trend that that's happening where, you know, broccoli haircuts. If you wanna impress a girl, pay for pick up the whole tab.

35:41Richard Greaser And, if you can't afford to, you'll listen to some Bitcoin podcast so you could figure out how to afford it. But, yeah, you know, for for the married men, it's just make it easier to see your wife's tits. Put her in the front and center. But maybe not the best idea to have a picture of your wife and lingerie as your phone background.

36:06Rod Palmer Yeah. Definitely don't definitely don't put pictures of your wife and scantily clad the keys as your YouTube thumbnail for your libertarian YouTube channel. Like, that's come on in.

36:17Richard Greaser Lark and Rose did that one time.

36:20Rod Palmer Right. It's it's not worth it. Like, you will get a high tie it's a high tie preference activity. Like, you'll get a boost to your channel that day or whatever, but you have to live with that. But that your wife's boobs will be on that YouTube thumbnail,

36:38Rod Palmer archived, cached in Google Images for eternity. Like and somebody probably put it on the blockchain. And it's just

36:48Rod Palmer it's like a tattoo. In the description of your wife's tits from a YouTube thumbnail for your libertarian Facebook or YouTube channel, it's like a tattoo. It's forever. You it costs money, and it's painful to hire an SEO company to go through and bury and bury the content that you've put out there so that it's hard to find in searches ever again.

37:13Richard Greaser Absolutely. Yeah. I it's your wife's boobs are bit between you and your wife, ultimately, at the end of the day. And and just think just I think from the perspective, like, you know, a lot of men don't have a lot of, restraint

37:31Richard Greaser when it comes to looking at boobs. But just remember, like, you just think a little bit through. You know, your wife your wife might get kind of frustrated when you're looking at the e girl's boobs, when you're looking at Sydney Sweeney all day, when you're looking at these other women.

37:52Richard Greaser Just just imagine, you know, how you feel if you found out that she's, like, checking out BTC Sessions, AI, Muscles, or or Robert Breedlove, or, you know, some of these other individuals just, you know, constantly, Right.

38:10Rod Palmer You're if you're you're you're oogling Sydney's if your wife has an a cup tits, and you're oogling, dooing city Sweeney all day long, and your wife finds out about that, like, she's gonna feel bad to, like, imagine if your wife was on

38:26Rod Palmer the Instagram channel or the Instagram page of, like, those guys wear the gray sweatpants, and they've got a big old they got a big old, a bid ax in their sweatpants. You can see it bulging through, and they're, like, scrolling through that all day. And you've got, you know, a little you just, you know, you've got a average sized, you know, bid ax yourself.

38:48Rod Palmer You know, you're not working with a whole lot of hash. Yeah, they would make you feel insecure. It would make you feel like your BitX was not enough to decentralize the network. And, like, you your wife is gonna feel the same way, like, that she is not enough. You shouldn't you shouldn't

39:11Rod Palmer you shouldn't do things that are gonna compromise your relationship that way. It's just, it's, it's, it's, it, at the end of the day, it's like, not like the end of the world. When Sydney Sweeney goes to the Oscars with a C2 dress, and you, you're scrolling out your Dean, you stop, and you, and you admire them for a few seconds. It's like, oh, wow. You know, that was this happened. I'd see it. It's cool. But, like,

39:37Rod Palmer making a conscious effort to do that or not do that, knowing that it has repercussions, it's a it's a personal thing. I just back to the Arizona and Huddl thing, I don't think the broad generalization for how all plebs should have access to the free market of breasts

39:58Rod Palmer is the answer. I think it is a personal decision and a personal journey that is you have to wake up every day and say, I'm only gonna look at one set set of boots today on purpose. If if somebody would sit in public and my eyes are looking in that direction already, okay. It's not I I I don't have to feel guilty about seeing that boot, but I I'm only gonna go out searching

40:24Rod Palmer to see my wife's boots today. And you you wake up every day and not sure. And that is your mission. You start with that. You make your bed, put on your podcast headphones, and you say, the only boots I'm looking for today are yours, honey, and you go to work.

40:41Richard Greaser Well, you you you make your wife make your bed, but, yeah, I I I don't even think it's it's about creating insecurity in your partner. I think what it is is just, you know, showing your wife that she is the priority,

41:01Richard Greaser and and your wife showing you that you're the priority. Because what what happens, you know, when you you start oogling all these other women's boobs, is it it's it's like consuming pub slop. Like, that that's what your wife will see is you're consuming pub white pub slop tits

41:23Richard Greaser because you're what you you've chosen your wife because she is the Bitcoin standard of tits. She has signal tits. They're not,

41:33Rod Palmer Yeah. If you start it's signaling to your wife that you are attracted to klebslop, well, she's going to start turning herself making herself into Club Slop to try to impress you, to try to win you over. And it's like,

41:52Rod Palmer I hate to say this, and I don't mean this in the in an either way. We love Kitsats, but, like, your wife's gonna become a try to turn herself into Kitsats to impress you. She's gonna be the Pub Slop Barbie. And if you want your wife to be a Pub Slop Barbie, maybe that's a good thing. But I don't think a lot of our listeners want their wife to be Pub Slop Barbie. I think they want their I I don't think that's what they want. I think they want their wife to be to be a full, you know, mother of their children and and somebody that they just

42:23Rod Palmer they don't want a pupslop wife.

42:26Richard Greaser Yeah. I don't know. Pioneer's wives won't turn themselves into to PubSlop wives, but, yeah, I get what you're saying.

42:36Rod Palmer Yeah. Yeah. It doesn't you're right. And, generally speaking, you're right. But, you know, if if all you do is, you know and I'm not saying everybody does this, every white dog. Like, if you you're trying to be a good wife who serves their husband, you you maybe you're a homemaker by choice, and your husband shows no appreciation. He comes home, first thing he does, he gets home from a long day at work, doesn't even look you in the eye, doesn't slap you on the butt,

43:06Rod Palmer he doesn't he doesn't he doesn't look at your tits. He goes right to sitting in his lazy boy in his man cave, pulls out his phone, and starts scrolling through pep slot. It's it's a frustrating situation. It probably made you at a certain point at a if happening every single day, day in and day out. No slap on the bud after work. Nothing. No thank you for the the casserole that she slayed over all day.

43:34Rod Palmer Just looking at Club Slap on your phone, it's people cry your your wife can you don't make your wife crash out over Club Slop. I mean, the first and foremost, don't crash out yourself over Club Slop. But I I feel like there's so many people out there who don't realize that they're not the only ones crashing out from Club Slop. Either they're causing their marriages to spiral and crash out from Club Slope.

43:59Rod Palmer And, Patty, the last thing you want to happen during the four returning is to get a divorce over Club Slope.

44:07Richard Greaser Absolutely. No. The divorces over club slot should be avoided at all cost. And, they're just, you know, rather unnecessary. But, yeah, you know, one of the things I wanna talk about, this is a consistent one,

44:24Richard Greaser is the plugs are crashing out super, super hard, and this is a trend that's only gonna accelerate. There's you know, the holidays are a time where there's much higher likelihood of crash outs. I mean, you see this year over year where,

44:42Richard Greaser you know, people like to to hide and and pretend like they're doing fine. They they go home for the holidays. They're with their family. They're with the they're with the people that have installed the buttons to push, and they enjoy pushing them. They get a kick out of it out of pushing your buttons, get a little bit drunk,

45:05Richard Greaser and then all of a sudden, there's just like a a full blown drunk crash out at at at Christmas dinner. I think it's important to talk about some tips of preventing crash outs at Christmas.

45:21Rod Palmer Are you just are you describing, like, you know, Christmas is, like, the convergence of seasonal depression,

45:34Rod Palmer Christmas loneliness, whether you've got an estranged family member, maybe you lost a loved one, and you have good memories of them at Christmas. I mean, you just don't have a close community, and you feel lonely during the holidays. Are you kinda talking about this a third conversions here where, like, somebody used to have the Club Slap Blues?

45:56Richard Greaser Yeah. Yeah. The Club Slap Blues is a good good way to put it.

46:03Rod Palmer There needs to be a song about the Club Slap Blues.

46:08Richard Greaser Have you not written it yet? I I I feel like that's right down your alley.

46:12Rod Palmer No. Yeah. Exactly. I think I feel like I I feel inspired by this conversation to start writing the Club Salat Blues. I just I have to think of the right sound for it, because I don't I don't really love, like,

46:30Rod Palmer the Nashville contra blues. I don't really know how to write, like, a old fifties, you know, kinda like the blues music that Elvis stole from black people. I don't I don't necessarily know how to compose that, so I'll have to I'll have to do some do some work on it, but it's con it'll be common. Yeah. But back to the, you know, where are some tips for someone who let's say let's say worst case scenario. Let's say you've got the worst case scenario. You're you got seasonal depression. You live in Minnesota.

47:02Rod Palmer Your Pontian bow a few months ago, it was, seized and stolen by some Somali pirates on, Lake Minnetonka. You, your wife and you are separated because you were looking at everybody's boobs but hers,

47:21Rod Palmer and she felt or hurt her feelings. You know, maybe your maybe your family is not in the same area as you, and you're not able to make your home for Christmas because you lost your job because of Vipode or took your job as a computer programmer for, you know, WordPress websites,

47:41Rod Palmer and, you know, things are not going your way in last year, but Bitcoin was pumping. So it kind of compensated for those

47:52Rod Palmer those those holiday this, you know, holiday blues. But this year, the price is down. The content's down. You don't really know about the future of Bitcoin because people talking about maybe it being broken by core. And you're just frustrated.

48:09Rod Palmer You're confused. Your time preference. You're trying to lower it, but it's not low enough right now. You don't know what to do, and you've got the pledge levels. How do you overcome that? And I mean, add it on top. We're now entering the fourth turning. The Epstein client list is out or it's coming out, so you know the government, it's, you know, it's private financiers

48:34Rod Palmer or inclusion right now to you, instigate false flags and all kinds of distractions to prop to go to war with the Venezuelans, the global South. I mean,

48:48Rod Palmer our our our fellow Tether on Tron users going to war with them. It's it's easy to get grumpy when you go on your timeline. It's easy to crash out at a family member when they say something politically provocative at the dinner table, if you're even lucky to have a dinner table with a family member at it.

49:10Rod Palmer It what do you do? Can you do anything? Is there hope?

49:17Richard Greaser I think there is hope. I think one of one of the the ways to inspire hope and to to feel hope around the dinner table is to show up with a sense of purpose. Not not the sense of purpose to go and convert people, listen to Bitcoin podcast,

49:40Richard Greaser but to connect to people, to relate to them, to hear the things that they're doing, to not get offended because, you know, your family members will have dumb opinions on things, but you show up with some real pioneer energy. You show

50:03Richard Greaser up as a Bitcoin podcaster or as an individual that's actually contributing something productive to the world. And you have that energy, you have that belief in yourself. You start to get frustrated. You go you look in the mirror,

50:18Richard Greaser look at yourself in the eyes and, you know, breathe a little bit and say, or you go outside, you smoke a cigarette. You remind yourself and reaffirm that you're a pioneer on the frontier, that you were built for this moment in history, for the foreturning, that you can survive the family dinner at Christmas. Not only can you survive it, but you can thrive in it. You can you can handle

50:45Richard Greaser listening to the Pub Slop. You can handle having to to witness, you know, pharmaceutical commercials on television or, you know, whatever else, you know, is going on. That's silly. You can you can handle watching Jimmy Kimmel or, you know, whatever nonsensical stuff that they're gonna be into

51:06Richard Greaser this Christmas. Not only can you handle it, you can inspire them. You know, you should you show up having a mind a rational mind of yourself doing cool things in the 04:30. Because I I think what people, you know, need to experience, you know, as they're getting wound up is is they're looking at the psy ops on TV, and they're they're worried about

51:31Richard Greaser terror attacks or, you know, trans people shooting them or, you know, whatever it is. You're you're showing up and you're doing cool things. Maybe you're talking about your business that you started. You're selling you're selling things on Oster. You're selling trinkets to the plugs for Bitcoin or whatever whatever it is that you're excited about. And, it's just

51:55Richard Greaser you get to showcase what it looks like to to live on the frontier, to be a frontiersman, to show up with high testosterone, a sense of purpose, with excitement about life. That that that's the purpose is that is not to to change or convert anybody, but just to be an example. And, I think that's,

52:18Richard Greaser that's one of the ways to get through. It's like you can you can survive the most painful, excruciating experience in the world. You're listening to your your grandfather just rant about how Trump fixes everything and and you you see, you know, your aunt just losing her mind. She's got her blue hair,

52:40Richard Greaser recently went through a divorce, got her superior repossessed, and, she's just losing her mind, complete Trump derangement syndrome meltdown. You can sit there and you you can handle it because you you are there. You are showing up for your family as a frontiersman,

53:00Richard Greaser as a pioneer.

53:03Rod Palmer What if what if you're still struggling to show up for yourself and you're not even at the point where you're able to be to show up for your family and for your girlfriend or for your wife or for whoever. You're not you're not even to the point where you can take

53:24Rod Palmer the in laws to Steak and Shake for some tallow fries that you can buy with Bitcoin? Like, what if you what if you just need to start showing cons some sort of consistency being

53:38Rod Palmer the pioneer, the hero, the, the North Star, whatever for yourself. What how do you approach that?

53:48Richard Greaser Well, I think we've been talking we've been talking about this for a while on the this idea on the podcast. If if you're at that that spot where you're not ready to show up for yourself yet, it's time. There's no excuses at this point

54:06Richard Greaser because things are unraveling, and the world needs heroes. The world the world needs you to step into that position where you have the courage to show up for yourself. Whatever it takes whatever it takes to do that,

54:24Richard Greaser you know, to to step in that role, it it's important that you start doing it immediately. Because when the house is on fire, which it is right now, the house is on fire and, you know, you'll you look at the situation in Australia where

54:43Richard Greaser these guys were just, you know, shooting people for an extended period of times, then the the police show up and they they aren't. They just freeze. They're not willing to do that's that's the situation, you know, that's a very clear example of where you need a hero. You need people to step up into that role. And and I think one of the the

55:06Richard Greaser things that that helps you get into that role is just seeing the opportunity that it provides to do the right thing and feeling excited about it. It's not it's not, you know, coming from a place of, like, oh, I just have to stop being a retarded plab. It's more of I have an opportunity to stop being a retarded plab and actually, you know, make something of myself in my life. Like, I have the I have the ability to, actually become an impressive human being

55:37Richard Greaser instead of just being grumpy and, worn out and may and making the other people grumpy around me. I have the opportunity to inspire other people. But in order to do that, I have to change these things that I'm doing. And

55:53Richard Greaser I I think the real thing is just, you know, getting excited, getting excited about your potential and living into it. Those things that those redeeming qualities about yourself, focusing on those things, trying to grow and cultivate them, which is yeah.

56:12Richard Greaser I it's it's it's time, you know? There there's not really any time to be wasted on not living into your potential at this point. Because

56:28Richard Greaser if you do, you're got you're gonna be like that that police officer that that freezes in the in the crisis point, or you're gonna be, you know, the plan of just standing by helplessly as the world around you is just destroyed. And that's that's a pretty lame spot to be, you know, because you you've dedicated your whole life to getting to this point, to survival, to growth, and this is your moment. This is your moment to make something

57:00Richard Greaser of yourself, to do something productive, and your family's counting on you. The people that you're carrying are counting on you, but ultimately, you're counting on yourself. Like, you owe it to yourself to not be a loser.

57:16Rod Palmer So really the answer is, if you don't if you don't really see, like, the clear path to how to start doing what you're talking about, it's like you listen to forty hours per week. And if you're already listening to forty hours per week and you're still in a rut, I mean, I hate to beat that horse here, but pump it up to fifty hours, sixty hours a week. It's the holidays. You're gonna have some time off from work. You can get more hours of podcast listening in.

57:46Rod Palmer And if if listening to podcasts is even even if it just distracts you temporarily from a pop slot blues, Well, that's that's a, that's a progress. The fewer hours and some people when they're depressed, they have the Club Saw Blues. They they they sleep a lot, and they say, at least I'm asleep, you know, I'm not I'm not sad. Well, when you listen to podcasts, you're not sad.

58:13Rod Palmer And, you know, maybe we need to tweak your podcast regimen. Maybe we need to tweak the entropy, give you a higher dose of bullish content. But at the end of the day, it's up to you. It's up to you to get this done. Nobody's gonna save your ass. Nobody's gonna cure your plex slap blues except for you. You have to come to terms with that. But once you do,

58:38Rod Palmer you have to act. The the pioneer is not a pioneer is not a pioneer because he had good predictions, which ultimately came true,

58:53Rod Palmer because those predictions coming true mean nothing if you you know, what makes them real? Let's talk about that. What makes a pioneer's predictions real? Well, if you have a podcast that you can go back in reference to, especially if you can go back in reference to it on chain and show your family member and friends, I predicted this

59:15Rod Palmer x amount of months ago, years ago. Here is the, you know, uncorrupted, un,

59:25Rod Palmer manipulated proof. This is on chain. It could not be you you could take all the power and energy and electricity in the world directed towards efforts to censor

59:37Rod Palmer or or, double serve you excuse me to, reorganize the blockchain to get rid of this prediction that I made. You couldn't do it. And your family and friends are gonna be like, holy shit. That is a thermodynamically sound prediction, and you just showed it to me. You can go on, you can go on these other,

1:00:01Rod Palmer prediction markets, and you could put your money where your plug slot is, put your money where your mouth is, and you could earn sats by making good accurate predictions. Or you can be, you know, a true pioneer. You could go out there into the world, into the wilderness, into the frontier, into the bad user experience, of cloud world, and you can start to build

1:00:26Rod Palmer and and, to travel and and, you know, create things based on your predictions. And see how they survive in the feedback of the wilderness, of the frontier. And if they survive, if they're strong, if they're stronger than the entropy trying to destroy them, they were thermodynamically sad predictions.

1:00:49Rod Palmer So we talk about this all the time. Oh, I listen to forty hours per week. I'm a podcaster. I see the future before it's coming. I knew this political shift was was on the horizon. I expected the fourth turning to begin based on my macro analysis combined with listening to how my podcast and listening

1:01:12Rod Palmer to Aaron Redwing's astrological forecast. I predicted that this foreturning would begin around the end of two thousand twenty five and really actually commence around February 2026. Okay. Cool.

1:01:26Rod Palmer Anybody can say that after it happened. Did you make money off of it? Did you build a product for it? Did you create a hardware wall that was, surrounded in Faraday packaging so that, you know, EMP bombs wouldn't destroy it? Did you I don't know anything. What what was your prediction? Did you act on it? And were you setting yourself up to succeed based on the new environment, the new reality

1:01:53Rod Palmer that would, that would follow into the vacuum of this new, you know, of this new uncertain future. It's like you didn't that you're nothing more that a plan without a podcast

1:02:08Rod Palmer and a plan with, you know, an armchair prediction. Armchair like an armchair quarterback. Oh, I would have done this on this play to score the actually, I won the Super Bowl. Well, you will never be on that field in that situation. If you're a pleb without a podcast, you will never be in the arena making predictions and facing the feedback and consequences

1:02:32Rod Palmer of because not all your predictions are gonna be correct. And before I get I could go on this prediction rant forever, but the freedom of predictions, like the freedom of speech, the freedom of predictions is just as important as freedom of announcements. And right now,

1:02:53Rod Palmer the Plebslot Blues, it's easy to have them because Dennis Porter is not with us, he's not online, he's not in The United States. He is

1:03:06Rod Palmer a Plebs prisoner of war, you know, prisoner of the fourth turning in North Korea not right now. And normally, a lot of people would look to Dennis Porter to make a bullish announcement to to brighten their day, even if it was for a short, you know, dopamine burst before they doom scroll back into oblivion. Kinda like in the matrix when they come in, they're, like, going on a spaceship and they they go through high up in the clouds and they're running away from the they're being attacked by those fucking octopus machine things. And they they reach just about the clouds. They see the sun again for the first time

1:03:38Rod Palmer in years. They didn't end up in a battle in a matrix for years, and they see the sunshine again for the first time just for a few seconds. And it just brings a smile to their face. Makes it feel like Steven Luca, and they go back down. Sometimes that was Dennis Porter. Dennis Porter was a little bit of sunlight. He could do the clouds on a, misty, foggy Seattle day, and that's not even there anymore. I mean, we even have Dennis Porter announcements. But

1:04:07Rod Palmer if we lose our if we we blossom our announcements, we can lose our predictions. But like I said, those predictions mean nothing if you don't have skin in the game.

1:04:19Richard Greaser If the forty hours per week of Bitcoin podcast isn't doing it for you, it might be time to go on vacation and read Atlas Shrugged. But, yeah, it's, I think it's just that you gotta be excited

1:04:35Richard Greaser about the opportunities. It's the the the plug mentality is just, you know, being frustrated that life's happening to you. The the the pioneer mentality is being excited about being able to make life happen. It's about being an active participant in your life, taking responsibility. It it's it's exciting to take responsibility.

1:05:02Richard Greaser It's it's very unexciting to to demand. One of the things that you know, I can't remember if I mentioned this already. Like, the difference between a plaid and a pioneer is that the plaid demands, the pioneer exchanges. You show up with something of value. You try and, exchange with

1:05:23Richard Greaser others having something of value. And, you know, the plaid sits there and they're like, you're we we've been seeing the pleb the plebs have been crashing out hard on, our Twitter posts recently, which is glorious to see. I enjoy it. They come in, they say, you're not funny. You're boring. Your content sucks.

1:05:46Richard Greaser And I just ask them, like, you know, like, Robert's talking about being the the pioneer in the arena with the podcast. Where's your podcast? You're you're complaining about our new we're just reporting the news. We're not trying to be funny. The world the world is super gay and retarded. We're just reporting the gay and retarded news.

1:06:06Richard Greaser And you're coming here and you're demanding something of us. They're not very clear demands. It's just be be be gay. Be be what I want. Well, you're not even being what you want. How can we be what you want when you're not even being what you want? You're not doing anything.

1:06:28Richard Greaser You're just sitting there. The peanut gallery is sitting there making demands of people that are actually, you you know, got skin in the game. But, yeah, I hope people are I hope you're getting excited

1:06:45Richard Greaser about Christmas because I know I am. I'm super stoked. It's gonna be an epic Christmas. Yeah.

1:06:60Richard Greaser You got any other things you wanna talk about before we get into the final base?

1:07:05Rod Palmer No. I think that's a great that's a great summary. I I will continue to follow the the situation with Dennis Porter. We will continue to navigate the Plevs lot blues and, our ability

1:07:23Rod Palmer to actively choose to avoid the fallout from the crashing outlets that are just happening all around us. Don't let it bring you down with them.

1:07:35Richard Greaser Yeah. Yeah. It's gonna be interesting to see. Well, last episode, I did it with Muckanick or Muckanick. I had fun with it.

1:07:51Richard Greaser First Boost fundamentals, 10,101 SaaS says, corn fed is much more pleasant and funnier than grass fed. I propose PIP one podcast improvement proposal that we officially swap g f or c f going forward,

1:08:11Richard Greaser meaning grass fed for corn fed.

1:08:15Rod Palmer That was a, that was that was a great episode. It's really great to have corn fed on, hear his perspective, hear his, hear him explain it in his own words. For funny talkers, he's not half bad. He's not a bad guy.

1:08:34Richard Greaser Yeah. No. You you he did a really good job of explaining it. Yeah. That was a fun one, for sure. I don't know. Maybe maybe we'll have to get them on the on the show again. But, yeah, I think everybody knows that, corn fed tastes a lot better than grass fed. Grass fed is, you know, the the real beef nerds will rant about

1:09:04Richard Greaser how they like corn fed but grass finished. That's what the nerds are into when it comes to their beef. The the people that are super bought into the beef initiative and things like that.

1:09:17Rod Palmer The next one is mine, but they don't have to read that because it's mine. The next one is Dim Satoshi, 5521. Sats. Thank you for your time. Best Bitcoin podcast in the universe. Well, that's a that is a high compliment, Dim Satoshi,

1:09:37Rod Palmer because there could be a lot of Bitcoin podcasts out there in the universe, way more than the RSS feed encompassing the stuff on Earth. Someday an alien may actually inscribe their, their alien pod Bitcoin podcast on the Bitcoin time chain, make it real,

1:09:59Rod Palmer maybe by leveraging a mesh network, built by some of our friends here on the ground all over the the bugle verse in real life. So, yeah, high compliment. Thank you very much.

1:10:15Richard Greaser Thanks, Dean Satoshi. Appreciate you. 4200¢ from skate Kate. Always listening, but misses a boost. I just can't be bothered to switch to Fountain FM each episode. They're definitely a centralized enemy of Bitcoin.

1:10:31Richard Greaser PS, that was catchy as fuck Christmas jingle at the end. Nice. Fountain has their downsides, but I I I still like them. There's a there's some been some grumpiness at Fountain.

1:10:46Rod Palmer Oh, yeah. And that's that's that is another cause of the plug slot blues this time of year is the, is the user experience issues with fountain. Fountain is definitely contributing

1:11:01Rod Palmer to grumpy plugs, being grumpy podcast listeners, unfortunately. I was kinda open. They look I'm open.

1:11:11Richard Greaser Well, there there there's this whole, civil war happening in the podcast in two point o world where people are, disagreeing about Key Sun versus l n URL. And and the way this came to my attention was

1:11:32Richard Greaser was Barminer. Barminer is like the canary in the coal mine of of grumpiness sometimes, but, yeah, I don't care. I enjoyed filing. I I like what they what they do with their their subscriber,

1:11:52Richard Greaser stuff. So I'm I'm willing to deal with the bad UX. And, thank you, skate Kate, for dealing with the bad UX and boosting us even if it's painful for you to switch out. I appreciate it.

1:12:13Rod Palmer 616-3005 3,050 sats. Turns out Dayton Ohm was a NASCAR driver. Got struck by lightning, and now we're all enemies of Bitcoin too. Damn. I disappear for a couple weeks now. World goes insane. Great episode, though. Richard Mott killed it. Did you hear the other side too?

1:12:35Rod Palmer Cough. Cough. Yeah. That's that's one of the consequences of the fourth turning is, you know, you can't afford to

1:12:46Rod Palmer disappear, quote, or whatever that means, to go off grid, to disengage for a couple weeks. There's a lot happening. It's happening very quickly. World world goes the same in a short amount of time. It's like, you know, one of the things I tell young people, broccoli haircuts who, have a rebellious streak is you have to be on your best behavior. You cannot afford spend a few weeks, a few months, definitely not a few years in jail. You will fall so far behind in in AI. You'll never be able to make it out of the permanent honor class. You have to be

1:13:21Rod Palmer engaged, connected to the Internet, and, have access to AI for broccoli or coder. You're never gonna retire.

1:13:29Richard Greaser Well, I think it it this is one of the interesting things is, I fear that people are susceptible to be the the boiling frogs of of forgetting how crazy it is. Because when when you're in it constantly, when you're when you're constantly being bombarded with all the the dumb stuff that's going on, the dumb takes, all of it,

1:13:59Richard Greaser you just become normalized to it. You become accustomed to dumbness. And when you step out of it for a little bit and you come back into it, it could be pretty overwhelming because you you've gained some,

1:14:15Richard Greaser perspective. So sometimes that could be health healthy. But yeah. Appreciate it, Enoch. And we got a, user 63906584 says, my wife quit her job as a stripper

1:14:32Richard Greaser so she could listen to forty hours per week of Bitcoin podcast. Now we're homeless, but intellectually nourished.

1:14:40Rod Palmer Some husbands have to, make a conscious commitment to look at only their wife's boots, and some wives have to make a conscious commitment to only let their husbands look at their boots instead of everybody else. So that's kind of the other side of the coin of the conversation we had earlier.

1:14:59Richard Greaser Sounds like you need to listen to forty hours of Bitcoin podcast a week. You can't just let your wife do it for you.

1:15:06Rod Palmer You let your wife run your node and your multisig for your type you know, any typewriter connections. Why can't she listen to forty hours as well? You know, why it's a partnership. Right? So if you're if the husband or wife doesn't have to it could be either or. If they list if they have the time and the capacity to list the eighty hours per week for the both of both of you for the family,

1:15:34Rod Palmer is that are you saying that that's not good? Well, the I could be more just, yeah, for another day, but something to think about for sure. Totally.

1:15:44Richard Greaser Well, listening is productive because it, leads to action.

1:15:52Rod Palmer True. Swear jar. 1,000 sats. Remembers you used discount code, Palantir at Bitcoin University to get 10% off for monthly student loan payments. Did call us, swear jar. I did not know that promo code was available. But knowing Crater, it has ties to Palantir. It's, one of those that I should have thought to try out.

1:16:20Richard Greaser Appreciate it, swear drawer. Sasha, 777 says prison health care entertainment and defense stocks. That's one hell of a portfolio. Let's go. Here's a list of enemies of Bitcoin is actually really good company. Or, sorry. His list of enemies of Bitcoin is actually really good company.

1:16:41Richard Greaser And I just clicked the wave. Peter Tosh, Shinobi, Stefan Lovera, Pulseport. Great show. This guy is really funny. Well, yeah. I guess I guess that's a kind of a way to show that you made it, Sasha, as you get included on,

1:17:02Richard Greaser Machanix list of enemies of Bitcoin. That's a list that that's a prestigious list.

1:17:11Rod Palmer Next one, five hundred stats from Nana wallet e. Bitcoin lightning and liquid self custodial lightning wallet

1:17:25Rod Palmer run and founded by Adam Tsemecca, the biggest, stage a's biggest fear. 500 hashtag bring Dennis home. Absolutely.

1:17:41Rod Palmer If if you care about Dennis, he misses announcements, the least, you know, the least you can do it's like, we talked about this with Paul. The least you can do is add free samurai to your Twitter profile. The least you could do was wear a a free Ross day one t shirt before he was let out of jail on day two. The least you can do to bring Dennis home is to put that hashtag, bring Dennis Porter home

1:18:11Rod Palmer or bring Dennis home, excuse me, in your profile, tweet it out, raise awareness.

1:18:17Richard Greaser Absolutely. Not to mention, Adam Cimeca is the man with the world's highest IQ.

1:18:26Rod Palmer That's right.

1:18:28Richard Greaser PIES, a 121 SATs. Salute emoji, spy glass, steak, mushroom, strong-arm, or flex.

1:18:37Richard Greaser Thank you, PIES.

1:18:39Rod Palmer PTC on board. One hour SATs. Thumbs up, thumbs up, salute. Merry Christmas to you. VC onboard. At this point I mean, what what episode? I mean, I know what episode this is of Deepak Weekly, but, like, of all time, I don't know. We we're pretty high on there, and I'd say VTC onboard has boosted close to all of them,

1:19:01Rod Palmer especially the beautiful weeklies.

1:19:04Richard Greaser Absolutely. Thanks. Cunt sniffer one hundred says, you guys need to find and interview big boy crypto now.

1:19:14Rod Palmer I'm open to it. But if we're gonna interview Big Boy Crypto, which is not something we're pursuing at this time, not something that we hadn't really I would put it I I wouldn't, you know, I probably wouldn't put a high percentage of odds on it on predicts that we would interview DIPO in 2026. But if we did, I would want to, I'd wanna do that with, Mars. I'd I'd like to have him on there. I think Mars, there's you know, Mars has made a pretty good video about BitBoy that, it went viral. This is, like, probably over a year ago. But

1:19:50Rod Palmer Mars has gone through similar struggles, diff similar Plebslot Blues stretches as BitBoy. And Mars dug his way out of Plebslot Blues. He took action,

1:20:05Rod Palmer and he became a pioneer. BitBoy did not, but, you know, I'd I'd love to have Mars on there to to I think he could really empathize and identify with BitBoy,

1:20:19Rod Palmer especially if he's in a low point in his crypto journey?

1:20:25Richard Greaser I think BitBoy is a good example of, what happens when you, don't appreciate your wife's tits. You fell for the blood slop tits.

1:20:37Rod Palmer Yep. Exactly. I mean, that's an extreme example, but that is the need ultimately. If you lose self control and you just become a slave to your blood slap desires,

1:20:53Rod Palmer you'll you can ultimately crash out as badly and as hard as as BitBoy did. God forbid.

1:21:01Richard Greaser Well, folks, we're rolling into Christmas. Brace yourselves. Be ready to show up as a pioneer. Rod, you got any, closing thoughts before we wrap this one up?

1:21:15Rod Palmer Stay just stay safe out there. Be conscious of your attention and what you spend your time engaging with. And if you in practice, you know,

1:21:29Rod Palmer mindfulness, if you if you if you catch yourself feeling grumpy, don't don't let that comp grumpiness compounds, don't let it compound. Feel the grumpiness, let it pass, and, meditate on on lowering your time preference.

1:21:49Richard Greaser Well, thank you folks for listening to Beagle Weekly. I will, I've been working hard on, this hero series. I will have new episode out probably before Christmas. I just I keep sitting down to record, realize

1:22:06Richard Greaser there's more I wanna talk about. Yeah. Folks, talk to you soon.

1:22:29Unknown I don't ask for much for Christmas. There is only this one thing. I just need the price to be pumping so the protesters can feel like it. I wanna be scrolling Twitter on my phone smoking weed. Get in stone, make my dreams come

1:22:54Unknown I don't ask for much for Christmas. There is only this one thing. I just

1:23:42Unknown can rub it in a Uncle Jimmy, who doesn't appreciate Angie. I won't be on Canada's naughty list, and it's so proud of me. Watch a simply bitcoin on the TV.

1:24:19Unknown To see if the price will rise. Notifications filling their screens. An announcement will make their dreams. The God candle could save us all. So we could all walk tall.
