0:00Pastor Jeffs This morning, the spirit laid something mighty heavy on my heart. You see, the Lord doesn't just work through angels in the clouds. Oh, no. He moves right here on this earth, in the flesh, in history, power, and he has lit a fire for this generation,

0:20Pastor Jeffs a beacon in the darkness, and Bitcoin Twitter is calling it the God candle. Now some of you asked me, pastor Jeffs, what is this candle? Let me tell you, it is ordained prosperity, divine thermodynamic energy, a holy flame that can't be snuffed out. You will know it when you see it. When it comes, every knee will bow in the glory of NGU.

0:47Pastor Jeffs And, yes, I believe with all my soul that the Lord has chosen Donald j Trump to raise it up high. That man has struck the match on the altar of America, and the fire that burns is not of man, but of God almighty. You see, when the world says recession, the God candle says prosperity.

1:10Pastor Jeffs When the world says war, the God candle says wealth and dominion. When the devil says you are nothing, the god candle says you are chosen, blessed, and highly favored. So don't you hide your light under a bushel, church. Don't you tuck your blessings away in fear. Lift that candle up high above the chaos and let it shine. For the wealth of the wicked is laid up for the righteous, and the god candle burns to guide that transfer straight into your hands.

1:44Pastor Jeffs Now go forth and listen to forty hours of Bitcoin podcasts. I see the shadows. The markets may shake. But a holy fire's rising.

4:38Rod Palmer Welcome back to Bugle Weekly. It's been a very hot controversial and very hotly contested narrative on Bitcoin Twitter and the podcast sphere this week.

4:53Rod Palmer Right now, the plebs are feeling attacked. The plebs are lashing out. The plebs are angry, and the plebs are angry at core. They're angry at shinobi. They're angry

5:08Rod Palmer at, they're angry at everything. They're angry in all facets of their life, but they're directing it towards, you know, the Bitcoin

5:19Rod Palmer elites, the core developers, the seed coiners. They're just they're pointing it all and those elites, those core that they're they're putting it right back on the plebs and they're reminding the plebs that the plebs are retarded and the plebs are trying to cancel people. They're trying to,

5:38Rod Palmer cancel podcast sponsorships. They're going after people who even laugh and who even use a an emoji to signal support to anybody who calls in retarded. And this is is it this is where we're at today, and it it really boils down to the knots runners versus core. And the and the players who feel attacked and who are being called retarded are retreating to knots nodes for kind of this signal and this,

6:07Rod Palmer and this alliance. And it's that's just kind of where we're at today. It's all coalesced to this. Richard Grieser, how are you doing? What is your take? What is your do you have your finger on the pulse right now of the Platts?

6:23Richard Greaser I think it's just all downhill from here for the plums. It's all downhill. It's not cool to be a plumb anymore. It's not cool to be an active

6:38Richard Greaser participant, not do the work to actually know what you're talking about, to not be a productive member of society. The idea of being a pleb is attractive to people that just want to take a pass the roll. They want to LARP. They want to do nothing but feel like they're doing something. It's the age of the pioneer, folks.

7:04Richard Greaser It's the age of action, of bettering yourself, of being an active participant in your life, in this ecosystem, in the world of podcasting.

7:19Richard Greaser It's just not it's not cool anymore, you know? Just Juan Biggs fall. Corey's not cool anymore. Saquon's getting hammered. It's just not, it's not cool to be a pleb anymore. And they are retreating to their safe spaces as they are realizing it's not, they're not cool. Nobody. It is. It's not good anymore.

7:44Rod Palmer Plebs are, Again, everybody is angry and grumpy. Right? And it's we've been talking about this for a few weeks now. Everybody is grumpy for usually personal reasons. And the plebs are grumpy because it's it's been four years, it's been five years, and they're still

8:06Rod Palmer they're not economic notes. And if you if you say that an uneconomic note doesn't matter, if you talk about economic notes versus non economic notes, they get very sensitive and they get very angry and they and they they challenge your perspective, but it's it is it all comes down to the sensitivity is they know that they're not economic nodes and they have no excuse.

8:30Rod Palmer If they listened to forty hours of Bitcoin podcasts per week, what the pioneers have been doing, like the builders have been doing, they would be economic nodes and they're not. And they go and they they they're running knots right now. And that's not every, like, not every, not all the uneconomic nodes are running knots. There's many, many economic noneconomic

8:56Rod Palmer nodes who are running core. But a lot of them are running to knots because they think that filters, and configurations in their config being different from everybody else's or being unique, makes them an economic node

9:14Rod Palmer and it's it just it takes more than filtering spam to be an economic node. Physically, you know, literally and metaphorically. And I think that people need to figure out how to make those changes. I don't know. Is that am I being too harsh, Richard?

9:33Richard Greaser No. Because the definition of a pleb is a loser, essentially. And when people self identify as losers and you describe them as losers, calling them losers is not going too hard at all. It's just create it's just describing an objective reality. You self identify if you identify as a club, you self identify as a loser.

9:58Richard Greaser And if you self identify as a loser, why would you be upset by people describing you as a loser?

10:05Rod Palmer Right. It's yeah. When you, when we were teenagers, you might have described yourself, you know, as a plan or a punk or, you know, some kind of slacker, some kind of, you know, I think my, my first

10:23Rod Palmer AOL instant messenger handle was natural born slacker. You know, and I wore it like a badge and people didn't when they were new Bitcoiners, they wore a plaid, a retard, you know, ADI, they wore like a badge. But if you're still if you're still a slacker and you still have a green Mohawk

10:46Rod Palmer and you still wear a long sleeve t shirt that's a different color than a short sleeve t shirt over it. And it's like you're stained. It's leads your Beavis and Butt Head is or TOOL 2001, tour, t shirt, your gen x, you know, if you're in the middle of that when you're 45, 50 years old, it's pathetic. It's you're like, you're not an economic node. You live in your mom's basement. You're still listening to that meeting. You're still trying to relive that, oh, I'm a I'm a slacker. No. You're you can't be a pled forever.

11:23Rod Palmer Plaid is not it's like a minimum wage. It's for it's for somebody who's new, who's trying to figure out the space, looking to make a name for themselves. Pleb's not forever. So that these people who it's like these Peter Plebs, Peter Pan's, or they they just wanna be they just never wanna girl up. They wanna be a pleb forever. And it's they're the friction point right now. We're in the fourth turning. You can't be a pleb in the fourth turning. You can't still be a pleb in the fourth turning. You were here during the COVID wars. It's just there's so much there. I can't unpack here. There's a huge opportunity for the plums right now.

11:59Richard Greaser The exciting thing about Bitcoin isn't the ability to warp with it. The exciting thing about Bitcoin is to be able to build a life around it. You have a competitive advantage in society,

12:14Richard Greaser and using the competitive advantage to watch more Netflix, I think, is a waste of the opportunity. You want to smoke weed, you want to sit in your underwear, and you watch Netflix and then complain about, people calling you retarded on Twitter. It's like, come on, guys. Like, you have an opportunity. Take the money that, your,

12:38Richard Greaser you know, the labor that you put out and you save in, build something. Unless you're just kind of a nihilist and you just don't really care about the future for Maybe you don't have children, but if you don't care about the future

12:54Richard Greaser for other people's children, I think that's a lame mentality, but it's your choice to make it. I'm not going to try and coerce you out of that decision or cancel you for being a loser. It's it's your right to be a loser, but

13:12Richard Greaser I think when you are presented with an opportunity, it's worthwhile using that opportunity,

13:18Rod Palmer and you're gonna feel a lot better about yourself if you do. Yeah. And here's the thing, and everybody's really upset right now and they're taking in their they're taking their frustrations out by trying to cancel people, trying to cancel people with, with startups, trying to cancel people with Bitcoin companies, hardware wallet companies,

13:42Rod Palmer custody insurance. They're trying to cancel entrepreneurs. They're trying to cancel people who have stake, who have economic notes. They're trying to cancel economic notes, by taking away their value for value customers, etcetera, etcetera. And they're doing it because these

14:04Rod Palmer these people with steak with skin in the game have laughed at them and called them retarded. But I think what we're we're kind of summing up here is that if you have self identified and made your personality out of being retarded, you can't

14:22Rod Palmer get angry and and call people hypocrites and call people scoundrels and try to cancel them for laughing at you and calling you retarded. They are just they're they're calling you what you present to them at. If you present as a retard, people will call you a retard. That's just how it works. And,

14:43Rod Palmer you know, we're recording this on, Sunday, August 31, right before labor day, right before the apparent end of paper Bitcoin summer, some people hope, but labor day is,

14:59Rod Palmer you know, it's about a lot of things. I don't think we have to explain Labor Day to you, but what we think is that, or what I think personally, is that Labor Day is a celebration of people who've done the work, who've become economic nodes, who have listened to forty hours per week, who become Bitcoin podcasters,

15:20Rod Palmer who participate and have skin in the game, and who say I'm not a retarded pleb. I am a Bitcoin podcaster. I am a CEO. I am a whatever it is you want to be. I'm an economic node. I'm not a retarded pleb. And that's what Labor Day we we celebrate.

15:43Rod Palmer And do you do you want to be in the class of people who have built and and sweat and bled to build this network and build this community and build this society, or do you just want to be a retarded pleb? And I think that's what we should be reflecting on this weekend.

16:04Richard Greaser There's a lot to reflect on this weekend. There's Think about all the labor that has been put out there to create the tools that you're able to benefit for today. The podcasters that put the labor in to educate people on how to use those tools, the people

16:26Richard Greaser that are running the economy and actually contributing to it, the truck drivers that are driving your hardware wallets from the port to the warehouse, to the distribution center, the people that are building the world, that are building the houses that you live in,

16:47Richard Greaser the people like Sly Goomba, the people like Pies, We got to appreciate the laborers, folks.

16:58Rod Palmer The Bitcoin miners. I mean, Bitcoin miners are the laborers of the network for us.

17:07Richard Greaser Absolutely. The devs if anything, the devs should be having lots of sex on on Labor Day. That's for sure. They deserve it.

17:15Rod Palmer Absolutely. Absolutely. And listen, the the logical conclusion is is if you don't stop being a retarded pleb,

17:30Rod Palmer well, you're gonna have to deal with the the mockery, but for those of us who maybe are getting a little too much joy out of calling the pledge retards and watching them re on the cut shinobi, I'm speaking to you,

17:50Rod Palmer we have to respect their decision. And like you said, like you, if you want to stay, you know, appear a Peter pleb, a child forever, we're still, we're stuck in need you and you who's still gonna be a part of the Citadels. We're gonna have, you know, we're gonna need servant servants in the citadels. We're gonna need, we're gonna be landlords. We're gonna need tenants, people who think real estate shit coins.

18:17Rod Palmer So it's, you know, we have to we can't be too disrespectful to the plebs. We do want to have them in our in our citadels. It's like, what pleb would you pick to be like your house servant, your mansion servant, or your, you know, your pool, your pool pleb to clean your pool in the citadels? Like, I I'm definitely gonna wanna go with somebody who's got good memes. Like, I, I want to have a funny pleb cleaning my tool in the Citadel. Like, what are you, what are you looking for in your, private club?

18:47Rod Palmer A cobbler? You want to call a pleb cobbler?

18:51Richard Greaser Well, a cobbler is like an actual profession, so I don't think a pleb, can be a cobbler. That's a good question. I guess I would have to do some more research. I don't I don't hang out with the plebs. I hang out with pioneers. So I don't know of any off the top of my head. Well, fair enough. Fair enough. It's,

19:12Rod Palmer I, I don't want a retarded pleb for my, my pool boy or like doing my landscaping, but, I do want, I want a funny pleb. I, I want like one of those guys who spends all the time in spaces instead of listening to podcasts. Because at least at least I could, you know, try to convince him to listen to a good episode here and there of a podcast if he's not gonna listen to the forty eight hours. The plan, I can mentor a good point.

19:44Rod Palmer Well, speaking of, speaking of plaids, do you, I, I don't know much about Asian plebs, but do you think they had a pretty good, like toxic Asian pleb happy hour in Bitcoin Asia? Like, what do you, where did, when did you hear about Bitcoin Asia? Is China officially going to send it for once or what's going on?

20:06Richard Greaser One of the big stories that I heard out of Bitcoin Asia was that all the, the cute Chinese ladies wanted to, take pictures with Shinobi, take selfies with Shinobi. That's right. So, I'm sure D plus plus is feeling pretty jealous in that moment.

20:27Rod Palmer Oh, yeah. I mean, Shinobi and the Meeseeks costume taken pictures with a bunch of like screaming, like they're like they're seeing the Beatles,

20:40Rod Palmer like screaming to see Shinobi. That was probably hilarious. I would, I would've loved to just see that, that interaction on the streets of Hong Kong. Yeah. It sounded like a good conference. I was disappointed that I was not there.

20:54Richard Greaser I really should have been there. Little Asian. I wonder They they appreciate Bitcoin podcasters, though. That's for sure.

21:01Rod Palmer I think the, I think the audience really appreciated when David, David Bailey told them all to buckle up, because it really, you know, not only do they have to buckle up for the bull market, but you know, if you like, if you get in a car in China with your wife and you let her drive better buckle up, because that's, that's gonna be a dangerous drive. Yeah. If you've seen the roads, like some of those driver on a mountain, there's not even any guardrails. You can let your wife drive around a mountain with no guardrails. If your wife is Asian,

21:35Rod Palmer Jesus Christ, buckle up indeed.

21:38Richard Greaser Buckle up definitely has a different meaning if you're if you have a Chinese wife. It's a very precarious situation. What would you rather do? Put your money, like retrospectively, would you rather get into a car with a Chinese woman or put your money in BlockFi? What do you think is riskier?

21:59Rod Palmer Yeah, that's a good question because when you know something's going wrong, it's like gradually and suddenly you don't have time to, you know, withdraw from the situation. Jesus Christ. I'd probably

22:15Rod Palmer I probably rode all my money in BlockFi to tell you the truth.

22:20Richard Greaser You can lose your money and make it back, but you you can't get your life back if you get an horrendous crash.

22:28Rod Palmer At least you get 10% yield sign your tether on BlockFi. Your wife is getting these like negative yields. She's always spending your money. Yeah. But there there's perks that come with it.

22:41Richard Greaser There's benefits of having a wife beyond just her spending. It's just one of those trade offs. Everything has trade offs. Right?

22:50Rod Palmer Yeah. It's not necessarily Yeah. You're right.

22:52Richard Greaser It's not necessarily inherently good or bad, but, yeah, I mean, spending a little bit more money than you want to a target, oftentimes it's worth it. If, your wife's making your bed for you, for example.

23:07Rod Palmer I bet if Shinobi had an Asian Waifu instead of dating d plus plus, I bet you Shinobi'd be a lot happier. He'd have a wife making his bed for him. He would have, you know, some sushi for dinner, which he loves, a glass of whiskey poured for him. He wouldn't be so grumpy. He wouldn't be screaming at Tom or calling him a retard on Twitter.

23:32Rod Palmer We, Shinobi needs a nice wife.

23:36Richard Greaser I imagine probably one of the most annoying parts of marrying an Asian woman is her wanting to take selfies with you everywhere. There's a statue, there's a bench. It's like, benches don't seem that exciting to the average person, but to an Asian woman, that bench is a selfie opportunity.

23:58Richard Greaser There's just anything out of ordinary, a mural.

24:04Rod Palmer Oh, can you imagine Shinobi having to take pictures of his wife at the Bitcoin conference in Las Vegas? You know how many things Asians wanna take pictures of? Selfies in in front of in Vegas. It's never ending. I don't know what it is. What what is it about Asian people and and selfies

24:21Richard Greaser everywhere? I think the selfie stick was invented in China.

24:27Rod Palmer It's like if you just, you could just say that somebody else's selfie on Instagram is yours because nobody would be able to tell the difference. They'd be like, oh, that that's your selfie. Because you look like everybody else in the country. You just go on Instagram and get a selfie at that bench in the middle of,

24:46Rod Palmer you know, Provo, Utah that you thought was so interesting. Just use somebody else's picture, put it on your account.

24:55Richard Greaser I think we should start a business, like a drone company that just follows around these Asian tourists, just taking selfies of them everywhere, runs out of battery, goes to a charging station, recharges, sends a different drone, 20 fourseven selfie coverage. I think that would do some numbers. It's like the Uber for selfies

25:17Richard Greaser in a way. Selfie drones. Interesting.

25:20Rod Palmer Interesting.

25:21Richard Greaser Or, right, I guess we're getting to the point where you can do, you can just have robots follow people around and take selfies of them. We're pretty close to that.

25:30Rod Palmer That's true. That would be like, do Coinbase hit sponsor that. It's just like, hey, you're in the middle of, you know, middle of the Grand Canyon. It swoops down. It's like, hey. Would you like to onboard do your KYC with Coinbase and get the selfie right now? So you get a free selfie in one of the most beautiful locations in the world, and all you have to do is sign up for and you get some free crypto when you sign up for your Coinbase account.

25:57Richard Greaser One of the things we don't really hear about very often is how many Bitcoin podcasts there are in China. We know they have those influencer factories. Yeah. Like they have

26:08Rod Palmer the, well, the podcasters in China are working. So, I mean, they have a lot of people. So listen to forty hours per week. They need a lot of podcasts. I just can't imagine podcasting so much that I wanted to jump off

26:25Rod Palmer out of the studio and add suicide nuts to catch me. Like I could never get to that point.

26:34Richard Greaser I think I could.

26:37Rod Palmer You keep podcast too much, so you just want to end it. You just want to dive out the top story window.

26:44Richard Greaser Well, one of the things that I've been brainstorming on that I really want to do, and we're going to do it at some point, is a forty hour straight podcast.

26:53Rod Palmer I think I could do forty hours straight. I would just hope we could get nets around our audience, around their houses. So I think listening to us for forty hours might make them want to be the ones that jump out the window.

27:09Richard Greaser They would they would have to do it over a period of a week. I wouldn't suggest doing it in one go, but I'm sure there's probably at least a handful of our listeners that would try and do the forty hour straight. If we were gonna podcast for forty hours straight, at least a few of them would try to listen for forty hours straight. You know Boomer would try to do that.

27:29Rod Palmer Boomer, bet Shadrack would do it. Pies would not. Fonda Metals would try. Fonda Metals will probably be there.

27:39Richard Greaser Yeah. Fonda Metals would want to be on that. I'm looking forward to it. It's going to happen. It's probably going to happen after Vegas next year. I'm not looking at doing that before, but looking at doing a forty hour podcast. It's on the docket. It's gotta happen at some point. I'm really excited about it.

27:57Rod Palmer Be a good one to do mushrooms on?

28:01Richard Greaser Maybe. I'd have to Yeah. I mean, there would have to be some performance enhancers for sure used throughout the duration to stay in forty hours on on just cigarettes and and coffee alone is kind of difficult.

28:18Rod Palmer I was telling you, I was telling you, I think that it would be awesome to do a forty hour straight podcast with an audience of Bitcoin podcasters who were also

28:33Rod Palmer a part of the forty hour. It would be, it would be very meta. We'd have to flush that out. I'm a little too high right now to get into the details, but, just a bunch of it would be like doing forty hours or 40 different podcasts in a row. We've talked about different ways of doing it. But, Yeah. There is. It's gonna be the coolest thing that's ever happened in Bitcoin podcast history. It's gonna be the longest Bitcoin podcast. It's gonna be the highest single Bitcoin podcast. It's gonna be it's gonna be bigger than the Sailor series, but we're still building it. It's just gonna be great, but forty hours straight podcast.

29:10Rod Palmer But to get off this topic, this this is one I think is super important and you brought it up as well. Is bait or Bitcoin summer over? Is it labor day? Is this the end of paper Bitcoin summer and just paper Bitcoin summer end on the last day of a summer on the, you know, the the Equinox or

29:31Rod Palmer does it never end? What what's the deal with paper Bitcoin summer?

29:35Richard Greaser I don't know. I mean, it's looking like paper Bitcoin summer is over for Saquans. I think that's a hard one not to argue. Is it over universally for MicroStrategy, for Meta Planet? I don't know. I don't pay attention to it. I'm not a stock guy.

29:55Richard Greaser I like Bitcoin. I'm not into corporate meme stonks, but the sentiment looks like it's dipping right now.

30:06Rod Palmer Yeah. Paper Bitcoin, Summer. I think you nailed it. Saquon's. They could not hang. Pleasure is

30:16Rod Palmer waiting. He is waiting. He's taking the scheduling time off at work so he can make the, the live stream with Brady Swenson and Ben Workman to talk about their exciting how excited they are to exploit opportunities in capital structures, in capital markets to provide shareholder value. But they have to, they have to

30:38Rod Palmer keep. I was pounding and rescheduling because they can't get capital and T letter as he's reported on us pretty well. Saquon it's done. But for some people, it's like living in Miami. You know, if you're like Lobko himself, Steven Lobko lives in Miami in South Florida, summer never ends there. It's you just have to have

30:60Rod Palmer you just have to have the right vibe. You have to have enough vibes to last last of the summer and extend it.

31:08Richard Greaser I don't I don't have a good answer or prediction on it. I guess I should go listen to some macro podcasts and and hear other people's opinions on it. But yeah, the sentiment looks like it's dropping. We'll have to monitor the situation in regards to paper Bitcoin somewhere pretty closely. A a lot of grumpy people were

31:35Richard Greaser They've called paper Bitcoin summer being over. I'd be interested to see if somebody sets up a paper Bitcoin summer obituary website to see

31:48Rod Palmer how many people have called it. There we go. There we go. Yeah. I think I think that some people think that the top is in, they thought it was in repeated for Bitcoin. Summer was the title of,

32:03Rod Palmer what Bitcoin did one of their latest episodes, with, with WAP and who else American HODL. They thought that that might be the top, but I think if, if you're optimistic enough or you you have an optimistic enough view,

32:22Rod Palmer paper Bitcoin summer can go so much higher. I don't think the top for paper for Bitcoin summer is in until it is the title of a Joe Rogan podcast or it is the title of an all in podcast. I think that a paper bitcoin's owner can rise to the top of the Spotify fountain, whatever you want. It's not just fountain, the Spotify, Apple charts as the number one pod. Yes. I think that will be the top for paper Bitcoin summer. And until it reaches that, I'm not convinced it's over.

32:54Richard Greaser I'm not really convinced it's over yet either. I think it's too early to to call the top especially when the Feds looking like they're going to loosen up their policy on interest rates.

33:08Rod Palmer Yeah. So, if the Federal Reserve, I'd say this would probably be the top podcast. If an FOMC meeting, the federal reserve chairman mentioned paper Bitcoin summer, and as a result of paper Bitcoin summer, they were going to raise or hold interest rates steady. That would be the top for me, for sure.

33:28Richard Greaser I guess is the the the question is, is this the super cycle or not? If it's a super cycle, paper paper Bitcoin summer is gonna continue forward. We have not seen a god candle yet.

33:44Rod Palmer No. You have not. Not even close. It's not no omega candle. Nothing.

33:50Richard Greaser What's Samson been up to? I I haven't seen his tweets in a while.

33:54Rod Palmer I saw a headline that Samson, it was a Bitcoin Asia related headline that Samson was orange pillowing the Japanese government. So he kind of it's kinda like he's sliding in underneath Dylan Leclerc

34:13Rod Palmer and going straight to the bank of Japan and orange peeling them himself.

34:18Richard Greaser Did he take any selfies? I haven't seen any selfies. I have trouble trying to tam since actually doing any work or if he's just claiming that he is, We all know.

34:30Rod Palmer He's setting them up with tether instead of orange billing them.

34:35Richard Greaser Well, I think the Samson, he thinks is setting up, setting them up with tether is orange pill in them. I think he's got that kind of he's like Joe Nakamoto in that regard.

34:44Rod Palmer That's true. That's a good point. But yeah, you, you bring up Dennis Porter. That's another guy who kind of took his eye off the ball in I'm, I'm kind of wondering how hard he's working for Bitcoin and orange pilling politicians, like he says he is, when he seems to I mean, Dennis Burton seems to me like he wants to be

35:09Rod Palmer associated and hang out with retarded blebs. Like, Dennis decided he wants to be a retarded bleb and shit post instead of be a professional who's building an orange building for Bitcoin.

35:22Richard Greaser Well, I think the thing about Dennis is, you know, the trajectory he's on, he's gonna be a US Senator at some point. He's probably gonna be US President at some point. He understands that the Plebs make up a large part of his voting base. And so he does have to cater to the Plebs. Like, it's a very different game when you're looking at politicians than podcasters

35:47Richard Greaser or business people, because he has to represent multiple constituents and the plebs are inevitably going to be his constituents. He doesn't have the luxury operating in a democracy to just write people off in the same way and just not care about them. That's a good point. That's a good point. It's just,

36:09Rod Palmer you know, you there's only so much time in a day. There's only so many hours in a week, and it's just curious how people spend them. And it seems like Dennis is spending his differently these days.

36:23Richard Greaser I mean, politicians always pivot. One thing that's consistent about all politicians for the most part, except for like a handful, is that they're going to be inconsistent. And it's just it's part of the game, it's part of what you have to accept in a democracy, is that the whims of the population change dramatically. They change their opinions on things, they change what they're mad about.

36:50Richard Greaser It's not consistent. They're not dealing with a rational audience in a lot of ways. They're not dealing with largely pioneers that have morals and principles that they stand by, that they're dealing with the population that just, you know, does whatever the TV tells them to,

37:07Richard Greaser and they therefore have to adjust. But I think one thing that Dennis is consistent on is he's still curing erectile dysfunction. He's still bullish on Bitcoin. He's still fighting for your rights. He's got a very high approval rating. He's got

37:26Richard Greaser an absolutely perfect track record.

37:29Rod Palmer Yeah. I guess it's I guess it is now, like, Dennis Porter is showing that he supports and will defend the rights of non economic node runners. Like, Dennis Porter wants to support node runners. He wants to support Bitcoiners. He wants to support self custody, but he also wants to support non economic node runners. And I think it's it'll just be interesting to bring that, you know,

37:56Rod Palmer big tent politics. If anybody can manage it, it's Dennis, but it does get hairy. And I just wonder if Dennis can handle the plebs when they start to go crazy and berserk and might, they might turn against him. Is this gonna be a lot to manage? But if anybody can do it, it is Dennis. Absolutely. You know, pivoting slightly on this topic,

38:26Rod Palmer something big to happen this week was our buddy stew stew TXO. He got expelled from Bitcoin University by Matthew Kratter. He got a, refund paid over strike using a core node, which is worth mentioning. But it it sparked the conversation that we had in spaces,

38:50Rod Palmer last week is should, you know, should the queen university be able to just expel somebody because for being a piece of shit, quote unquote, probably for being a spammer, for being a core guy. Should they have to have a, like, a manual that it because the what is the value of Bitcoin University degree? You

39:14Rod Palmer you might not be able to contribute at a high level to the to the to the code, to the community, to the network without a Bitcoin University degree in the future. So should you know,

39:29Rod Palmer what is that value of that that degree?

39:32Richard Greaser Well, I don't really think there's any value of it. It's an uncredited university. This has been my, bone that I've picked with Matt Matthew Kratter this whole time is he's, The the degree is valueless. It's it's it's

39:48Richard Greaser invalid credentials. I don't think anybody should brag. I I wouldn't hire a bugle journalist because they, in the job interview, say they got a degree from Bitcoin University. It's it's it's not on the same level as a prestigious university like the University of Phoenix online.

40:06Rod Palmer Completely different. Absolutely not. Absolutely. Yeah. So it's to clarify, Bitcoin University is not is a non accredited institution, has no credentials.

40:19Rod Palmer Not only that, the head professor, the only professor, the dean of admissions, etcetera, is Matthew Kratter, and he is not a credentialed anything. He's not credentialed cypherpunk. He's not a credentialed journalist. He's not a credentialed professor. He doesn't have a doctorate. His only experience is, he worked

40:40Rod Palmer in, you know, funny finance hedge fund with, for one of Peter Thiel's hedge funds. And he taught day trading, day trader university before he, launched Bitcoin university.

40:55Rod Palmer So it's it's very similar to British hodl. He's got a he's got a very similar background, a very similar, content and a and a very similar vibe to British HODL. Matthew Krenner is kind of like the Colorado HODL,

41:13Richard Greaser so to speak. I I think Colorado HODL you're, taken away from, he he's act he's an interesting guy. You mean holl Huddl rado,

41:26Rod Palmer that guy? Or is there a Colorado? No. No. No. I just mean, you know, the rage huddle is, instead of Matthew Kratter, he he would be like Colorado huddle because he you know, he's from Colorado. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So it's, it's, you know, in, in both British huddle and Matthew Kratter, they have,

41:49Rod Palmer I don't know. I don't know how to say it. They just seem liking the shoes.

41:56Richard Greaser He's a, he's a Peter Thiel mentored pleb, essentially LARPing as a university professor.

42:05Rod Palmer Right. Right. Think about if you were orange pilled by Robert Breedlove, or if you were orange pilled by T her teal, Orange pilling, you know, it's it's a powerful connection to the person in orange build you. And then Master Crowder has that with Peter Teal.

42:24Rod Palmer So that's interesting.

42:27Richard Greaser Kinda like Jack Dorsey does

42:29Rod Palmer does Jack did Jack Dorsey get orange pill by Mike Brock? I don't know. That is that true? Have you heard that? That would be interesting.

42:39Richard Greaser That would be interesting.

42:42Rod Palmer I bet it it stayed in my head. I guess I would have thought like Jack Dorsey orange pill, Mike Brock, not Mike Brock orange pill, Jack Dorsey, but when you think about it, this, the, that way, it makes a little bit more sense. Mike Brock is a sophisticated

42:59Richard Greaser sophisticated philosopher. I wouldn't be super shocked.

43:04Rod Palmer That's true. I'm hoping that Brock starts a Bitcoin podcast. You think you ever come back? I think he'll come back. I think he will. I think he know Mike Brock's one of the few people who knows that he's woke but knows you can cancel people in Bitcoin still.

43:25Rod Palmer And I think if he starts a podcast to help other woke people realize, they can be Bitcoiners and still cancel people, I think that'll be a huge bit of it. I think that'll be a huge movement. Because Trey Wallson, like, Jenner's, though, the progressive Bitcoin, they're not doing a good enough job

43:46Rod Palmer of helping people realize you could still cancel people in Bitcoin.

43:52Richard Greaser Yeah. I think one of the problems with Jenner is so she's just not woke. And, she Yeah. You know, she's got some interesting, you know, funny opinions about things, but she, she just doesn't do it for

44:10Richard Greaser the woke plaives. You know, because like a lot of people get into leftist communist theory because they they just want to cancel somebody. That's their goal.

44:22Rod Palmer But their dad? I mean, their dad if their dad was rich.

44:26Richard Greaser Yeah. I've been thinking about it. There there has been a riot. You talked a little bit about it in the beginning of the episode. You know, people are trying to cancel people like Rob Hamilton for giggling. They're calling him the giggler. I think the Bitcoin cancel culture

44:48Richard Greaser is productive. You know, there's this saying that I'm not a huge supporter of cancel culture, or I'm not actually a supporter of it at all, but I do think there's some positive benefits of it as

45:03Richard Greaser rather silly as it is. Because how else are you going to get these woah people into Bitcoin? Bitcoin's for everybody. And to get some people into Bitcoin, you just got to meet them where they're at. People have run out

45:21Richard Greaser of things to cancel people for. You can't cancel people for saying gay or retard. You can't cancel people. You can't even cancel people for saying the N word anymore. That's where things have gone and Donald Trump has completely changed. He's done a paradigm shift

45:43Richard Greaser on what a cancelable offense is. And these people are hungry. They're they're looking for a way to cancel somebody. And the new there there's a whole new litany of ways to cancel for laughing at the Plebs, for being retarded, for, you know, being a shitcoiner

46:04Richard Greaser for, you know, whatever. There there there's there's this whole new frontier of cancelable offenses out there. That these leftists can get back into.

46:19Rod Palmer And I know it sounds like, no, we don't want these woke people in Bitcoin. Yes, we do. Even if we have to put up with some annoying aspects, think about it. Like somebody who, as soon as you make a mistake, they are able to find out who your employer is and, and dox you and, and, and report your, your transgression to your employee, your employer,

46:48Rod Palmer that's really valuable. Uncovering fats. Like we have those people looking for oh somebody's employers and figure out how this person's a fed. We could find feds faster and if you're a retarded pleb and somebody calls you one, these people will get offended on your behalf and defend you and and push back on people calling you retarded blood, and they'll give you they'll be like, this person is a,

47:15Rod Palmer you know, handy capable club. This is a disabled club. They will find ways to to to deflect from people who wanna dismiss you.

47:28Richard Greaser Absolutely. It's the only way that we're gonna get the god candle, folks. You gotta you gotta open this community up for everybody. It's just it's not how I wanna spend my time. I don't ever wanna spend my time hanging out with woke retards, but to some degree, I'm grateful for the people that are willing to. And and for that reason, I'm willing or or I'm grateful for Matthew Crowder, even though I just, like, I think he's kind of a charlatan. I think he is,

47:57Richard Greaser got his priorities backwards.

48:01Rod Palmer No, I think I think you should be, you should be allowed to get a college education from any institution you choose.

48:15Rod Palmer I would beg you to listen to forty hours per week of Bitcoin podcast before determining that you you maybe do need to pay for a, you know, a credentialed or not university. And I think that'll help you avoid a lot of mistakes, but you should be able to do what you want. So if Matthew Crater wants to

48:37Rod Palmer give you an education and a degree in being a woke retarded pleb, you should be allowed to get just like, I think you should be allowed to get a gender studies degree from the university of Harvard. You know, you should be able to get a woke, retarded, pled studies degree at Bitcoin university.

48:58Richard Greaser Also, I agree. I agree with that too. I mean, it's just I think we believe in free markets, even when people are engaging in activities that we disagree with, As long as it's voluntary and it's not coercive, I think there's something to be said about misleading people. That's like the biggest issue I have with Matthew Kraner is I think he's misleading people in the sense of

49:25Richard Greaser presenting like he's actually running an accredited university and no way is he. So I'm not a big fan of that, but at the same time, I just I believe that people are capable of, coming to conclusions on their own

49:43Richard Greaser and seeing that there's better ways to get an education than Bitcoin University. I think Stu proved that, you know? If a university engages in restricting certain people for ideological

49:59Richard Greaser reasons, it's going to backfire. The market's going to respond. Some people might like that. Some people might like that stew is expelled, but I think the the broader market's going to be like, well, I'm like stew, and I'm an intelligent individual, who's not a retarded pleb. And,

50:21Richard Greaser I'm actually a big fan of Stu. I think he's a great guy. Shout out to Stu. But, yeah, it's been an interesting week. I mean, I I think there's gonna be a lot more arguing. I think there's gonna be people that are grumpy. It's just been the norm. That's been the norm, you know, for the last long while. I don't know what it takes for, the trend of grumpiness to turn around. It just seems like indefinite grumpiness

50:50Richard Greaser across the board.

50:53Rod Palmer Yeah, I'd say paper Bitcoin summer is not over if people are still being grumpy. So So as long as people are grumpy,

51:01Richard Greaser it must still be paid for Bitcoin summer. Will people still be grumpy if it's still paper Bitcoin summer and we get the God candle at the same time?

51:11Rod Palmer Well, I think the God God's hand will make some people not grumpy for a little while. And some people will get a good enough God candle will probably help them not be grumpy forever again. But I don't know how many people that is. I think a lot of the most grumpy people will still be grumpy. I mean, I, I don't think a God candle is gonna make planet or not grumpy. I think pleasure would be really grumpy by a God candle and fat. I think he'll be grumpy by a God candle too. I mean, it's just the the parameters in which he wants Bitcoin to go up

51:47Richard Greaser wouldn't ever allow for Bitcoin to go up. There's no way. Right. Yeah. You're right. Before we go to the found booth, so Monday night, I guess, probably by the time you're listening to this, I'm going to be doing my music show with Baba, so I'm excited about that. I kind of expect some technical difficulties because

52:09Richard Greaser I haven't had any gas and the streaming setup is complicated, but we'll figure it out. I'm looking forward to that. I think we're going to talk about the influence of AI music on the music

52:25Richard Greaser ecosystem. I've been talking to a lot of musicians. It seems like there's a growing concern around, the proliferation of AI music. I think it's going to be a really interesting discussion. Baba was

52:43Richard Greaser a professional musician at one point in his life, and so I think it's going to be a really interesting discussion. But we're working on some exciting things. I I do have to apologize, guys. I am a little bit, behind schedule on releasing some of the paid content for subscribers. It's it's recorded. It's cute. I just

53:09Richard Greaser we've been busy. Kaylee's been a little bit preoccupied with some, personal things, so she hasn't been able to go through and edit all of it, but we'll get that out at some point this week. We've got Rod Palmer's job interview, and we've got

53:27Richard Greaser a conversation with, Maggie Morris and Mars, Spitz Bars about the recent article, the the top 10 hottest fads in Bitcoin. It's a really fun banger conversation. I think, you'll enjoy that one a lot. And we've got more

53:46Richard Greaser on the horizon that I'm also excited about. But, yeah, you got you got anything before we go into the fountain boost? No. Check that out. I'm excited to listen to,

53:57Rod Palmer listen to your episode with Bubba or your show with Bubba.

54:01Richard Greaser Yeah. I think that's gonna be a fun one. If you if you haven't yet, folks, go check out our conversation with Portland Hoddle. I thought it was a really, really fun, good one. Very important conversation. He he was the the chief, villain on Twitter for a little bit. We confronted about him on it. We had a very good and and nuanced conversation. A lot of good feedback

54:28Richard Greaser from listeners on that one. Yeah. I definitely enjoyed it.

54:32Rod Palmer I've really enjoyed that one, doing it and listening back. You know,

54:37Richard Greaser it's one of those things that makes a good podcast so good is that you can't, you only get to live at once. You can't replicate it. It makes you appreciate it more when you're in the moment. That's just how life works. You gotta you gotta appreciate the the great things because they're what makes them so great is that they're they're scarce.

55:03Richard Greaser If every podcast was like that, it wouldn't be an, you know, an awesome podcast or or but, yeah, so starting out with the boost, we got, like, five boosts from Pies. I'm just gonna rattle them all off. Sturgis with Bubba sounds gangster as fuck, bruh.

55:25Richard Greaser 121 sats. Another one for 121 sats. He says, I always been rocking Carhartt coats back. I'll start it over. I always been rocking Carhartt coats

55:40Richard Greaser since back when I was in middle school. Boyaka, boyaka, and then, like, a ton of emojis. Squirt gun, squirt gun, squirt gun, strong-arm, strong-arm, strong-arm, mushroom, mushroom, salute, salute. 121 sats, just posting the episode leak on Noster. Stupid British accent,

56:01Richard Greaser hashtag 40 HPW. So five boosts from Pies, all a 121 sats. Really appreciate it, Pies. I think the the British accent was asking about mechanic. If if he spoke a we were talking about mechanic. Would he be as prolific if he spoke American instead of British English? And I I think the answer is pretty self evident. People wouldn't take him as seriously. It's just that another example, the Pleiads getting psyop ed by British accents.

56:31Richard Greaser This is something that has been very insidious in the Bitcoin ecosystem

56:37Rod Palmer for a long time. Thank you so much, Pies. Your boosting style probably would

56:47Rod Palmer make some people confuse you with a spammer, so be careful hanging out with the Nazis. The next one five thousand sats from late stage huddle, our boy, thanks for the shout out and thanks for all y'all do. It was a pleasure to meet you both at Lake Satoshi. I figured out how to subscribe, so I guess I'll be auto boosting you once a month now as if I needed to burn more sacks. If the ungovernable misfits add this, then I'm sure I'll have to subscribe to that too. This is becoming like streaming the subscriptions.

57:20Rod Palmer Give me back my cable TV package with all my shows. The future certainly does not have good UX. Also, with y'all talking about trees close to roads and civil engineers, I think I zoned out while driving and might have to listen back again since I didn't count towards my forty hours per week. I'm sure I was driving past one of the Fiat projects, looking at the trees and felt seen as you mentioned, civil engineering. Late say, Todle. Well, first of all, thank you for your boost. And again, it was great to meet you at Lake Satoshi.

57:54Rod Palmer But I, you know, you were also you're one of those economic nodes we talked about earlier in the show. You're an engineer. You labor this labor day is for you. So cheers to you, late stage huddle, and you deserve it. You're forty hours per week. Don't worry about it. This is what labor day. Take the take tomorrow off. Listen to an, you don't listen to Bitcoin podcast, hang out with your family. They seem awesome

58:21Rod Palmer and,

58:22Richard Greaser enjoy listen to this one. And then, yeah, don't listen to any others till Tuesday.

58:27Rod Palmer Right.

58:29Richard Greaser But yeah. Really appreciate the boost. I you know, we're gonna be talking about Lake Satoshi for a while. It's just that, you know, the afterglow, it lasts for a long time. It was such a special event. I'm still feeling the afterglow of it. But, yeah, I really appreciate you subscribing. I don't remember talking about trees close to Rhodes last, like, the last episode. I don't either. But

58:55Rod Palmer you might have zoned out. You might have been listening to a different podcast. Rob Hamilton, 10,000 sats.

59:01Richard Greaser Smiley, smiley, smiley, smiley, smiley emoji. Thank you, Rob.

59:07Rod Palmer The giggler. His fear glutton in the replies. I I think those were laughing emojis. He's just telling. He's just he can't stop giggling. Hey, to condition.

59:19Richard Greaser Wonder what Thank you, Rob. What do you think is what he thinks about it? Just him sitting there giggling all day. He picks up his phone and he looks at Twitter,

59:27Rod Palmer just starts giggling. She's probably thinking, wow, forty hours per week of Bitcoin podcast is, makes you have a good mood.

59:36Richard Greaser He's always in a giggly mood. I guess, like, one of the benefits, like, you know, I think a lot of wives, they they wanna think they want their husbands to think that they're funny. So if you're giggling all the time, you can just, like, present it as if you're giggling at your wife. Like, she she tells them jokes. There you go. There you go.

59:58Rod Palmer What's so funny? I I'm tickled by Bitcoin podcasts. Bitcoin podcasters tickle me. Next one, Rev Hoddle, 1121 sats. One year anniversary of South Bend Indiana Bitcoin meetup is Thursday, September 4 at LangLab six thirty. Celebrate with us. Show up with your grumpiness

1:00:23Rod Palmer and leave with your yeehaw pioneer energy. If you go if you go to that South Bend, Indiana, Bitcoin meetup on Thursday, September 4 at Lang lab at 06:30, you will, definitely

1:00:36Rod Palmer not leave grumpy. You will have yeehaw pioneer energy. That's perfect advertising.

1:00:44Richard Greaser I like that. We need we need more Yeehaw Pioneer energy. That's for sure. Rev Huddle, his his Yeehaw Pioneer energy is contagious. You're around him. You're just gonna feel so energized wanting yeehaw, yell yeehaw. You might get frustrated because he might start talking shit about using Minera or whatever.

1:01:07Rod Palmer There's a lot you can say about Rev Huddle and there's a lot that people do say about rev huddle. The one thing you cannot say about him is that he is a retarded pleb. Rev huddle is an economic note in the circular economy.

1:01:25Richard Greaser True pioneer. Well, thank you, rev huddle. Chill now, 999 sat says field log redacted. Audio fragment, summoner shiner. Transmission corrupted at 72%.

1:01:39Richard Greaser All great autocrats understand the propaganda propagandistic value of an intimidating brand. The larger a meme grows, the stronger the collective unconscious immunological

1:01:55Richard Greaser response comes to destroy it. Radicalized perspective leads to the center. Universal homeostasis, the order of chaos. Effect yourself with optimism.

1:02:07Richard Greaser Unstable record. True.

1:02:12Rod Palmer Need to run this through. We need to run this through AI and see if it could compile it into some sort of code. This is to, it's like, it's like alien, communication from the nether.

1:02:28Richard Greaser I like it. It's,

1:02:29Rod Palmer Translated. Yeah. Translated for podcast listeners.

1:02:34Richard Greaser Well, people definitely become threatened when they

1:02:38Rod Palmer feel like somebody's a better memer than them. That's true. That's one of the biggest causes of conflict on on Bitcoin Twitter. Next one is from is from, Southside Dave, s And B 501 Hundred Sats. Grumpy Bitcoiners might be the new MPCs, lowcoiners, brain emoji eyes.

1:03:01Rod Palmer Yeah. I mean, that's what we kinda talked about. Right? Like, the grumpy pleads, the the underclass and the citadels. That's what it's kind of looking like. Maybe they're just, that's why they're grumpy. Right. And they see themselves cleaning podcasters pools in the citadels and that makes them grumpy.

1:03:20Richard Greaser They're gonna be the pool guys that people's wives don't wanna have sex with. That's not the kind of pool guy you wanna be. I can't believe it, but we have more boost from pies. I don't know what what the ordering is. Like, how fond an order is these, but, I don't know if it's time based or it's definitely it used to be value based. The biggest boost were at the top, but now not so much. Pies, a hundred twenty one sats says hashtag 80 HPW. Another one, a hundred twenty one sats Says,

1:03:52Richard Greaser beer clinking emoji. So it pies up to seven boosts in this episode.

1:03:58Rod Palmer Hell, yeah. Next one is 10,000 sats from our boy, fundamentals. We still put in the link to his book, Bitcoin for Institutions, in the, in the show notes. Well, we will this time. Great shout out for programming Bitcoin. Such a great book, but with some horrible unintended consequences.

1:04:18Rod Palmer People who read that book need to have more babies or else we're not gonna make it. Did you see that Jimmy Song is now a,

1:04:26Richard Greaser self help influencer on Noster?

1:04:30Rod Palmer I do not see that. Is he doing v logs?

1:04:32Richard Greaser He's doing v logs. Self help v

1:04:37Rod Palmer logs. Well, that's some yeehaw

1:04:41Richard Greaser pioneer self help energy. He's kinda stepped away from, programming to focus on v logs. I mean, I do v logs too, so I won't knock them too hard for it. Big fan of v logs.

1:04:55Rod Palmer Oh, we need more. We need more people, though, that know how to code to be stepping in and making their voice heard in in the debate, right, in the node wars right now, though.

1:05:07Richard Greaser Yeah. I think what would really accelerate the adoption of Noster is Noster TikTok, where you could just scroll V log after V log after V log. That's what that's what people want.

1:05:22Rod Palmer Yeah. That's that's a good point.

1:05:26Richard Greaser Appreciate the the boost fundamentals. Fundamentals is gonna be speaking at the Canadian Bitcoin conference, which is coming up here pretty soon, so that'd be pretty cool. I don't think I'm gonna make it to that one.

1:05:38Rod Palmer And if you're there, make sure you check it out. And, make sure you tell those Canadians to they need to start more Bitcoin podcasts. I mean, more Canadian Bitcoin podcasts. We need more Canadian

1:05:53Richard Greaser Bitcoin podcasts from people that don't work for the Canadian government. That's a big one. We need a broader perspective. Next one, Noster Gang one zero one sat says Carhartt mandated the vaccine during COVID gay.

1:06:08Rod Palmer Did not know. That's pretty disappointing.

1:06:12Richard Greaser Well, that might explain the decline in quality of Carhartt gear. Yeah. Just when when you have that type of mentality as a corporation, it's gonna have some negative consequences. It's kinda hard though. I mean, like, what what companies didn't mandate the vaccine

1:06:30Richard Greaser during COVID? Can you buy a computer that didn't mandate the vaccine? From a company that didn't mandate the vaccine, can you buy a phone from a company that didn't mandate the vaccine? There's very few companies. I mean, the postal service didn't mandate the vaccine. That was pretty interesting.

1:06:50Richard Greaser I can't really think of any really notable examples of of companies that that didn't mandate the vaccine, But I think that should be like a if you're a corporation today and you didn't mandate the vaccine, you should, definitely flaunt that. Having having underestimated employees is, is a big deal.

1:07:14Rod Palmer Yeah. If you're a competitor at Cracker Barrel, right, now is the right time to be like, well, you didn't mandate anybody get vaccinated to eat at, you know, Denny's or Shoney's or whatever the the best competitor is. I would definitely mention one.

1:07:29Richard Greaser Waffle House?

1:07:31Rod Palmer Yeah. Next one is a thousand and 10 sats from Beliza. Haven't boosted in a while. In fact, I I think we we probably mentioned that we haven't heard from Bliza in a while. So it's nice to have you back, Bliza, or at least have you back, Bliza.

1:07:49Richard Greaser We missed you, Bliza. Got Turkey 500¢. Thank you, Turkey. Appreciate it. Wow. They just keep on rolling in. We've got so many boosts on this episode.

1:07:59Rod Palmer Next one's from Baba, 1500¢. You've never played tennis with me. I quit the high school football team to join the tennis team. I was good, and I aim at the body of my opponent, and I did connect. I was a mind it was a mind game because I was, I was slow. Sometimes my racket flew across the court, plus the ladies were fairly okay.

1:08:23Rod Palmer I can't count to 40, so I think I can listen to four hours a week. I can't count to four. That's why I was the leader of the band. You boys are okay in my book. Now if I could learn to read, Bubba, you know, I'm so glad we have you on Noster and in Fountain, because you were

1:08:44Rod Palmer born to post with the boomers on Facebook. That's that reads like a Facebook, comment, a reply to like a local news story. You got a boomer posters spirit, boomer posters heart, but we love having you here instead because you're way cooler than most of the boomers I know.

1:09:05Richard Greaser I think Bubba's important for people's perspective on boomers. I I think if it wasn't for Bubba, we'd be about ready to round up the boomers and send them to El Salvador at this point.

1:09:17Rod Palmer Oh, yeah.

1:09:19Richard Greaser Bubba is like the the bulwark preventing that from happening for sure.

1:09:23Rod Palmer Yeah. Bubba's like the boomers. They keep us from going crazy against them. And, like Dylan McClure is the Zoomer that keeps us from thinking the, the broccoli haircuts are a lost cause.

1:09:39Richard Greaser There's hope. Thank you, Boba. 1,000 sass from Boomer says, great rip, guys. I like the idea of a rating system for Bitcoin podcast, and I wanna volunteer for building this out. A few newbie friendly podcasts are This Week in Bitcoin. I've been seeing that one around more. They've been dominating fountain. And Bitcoin and Bitcoin and is one of my favorites.

1:10:05Richard Greaser High signal. But you don't need 40 HPW to get them. There's a funny talker on YouTube running a channel called The Road to One Bitcoin. That's good for newbies too. I was checking out your merch store for a PodCon t shirt, and I couldn't find any. I want to get one to rock the Canadian Bitcoin conference in October. Are they sold out? Keep fighting the good fight.

1:10:33Richard Greaser Well, Bimmer figured that out. Their PodCon has its own merch store, podkoff.xyz. Boomer had an issue buying the shirt because he's trying to do liquid to lightning. Sometimes that's kinda funky with the exchange rate in these point of sale systems.

1:10:57Richard Greaser But we got that all squared away. I put him in touch with Podkoff, got taken care of, but yeah. But we're super excited to represent Podkoff at the,

1:11:07Rod Palmer Canadian Bitcoin conference. Yeah. But we're, I haven't listened to Bitcoin for millennials by Bram Janstein in a while. Is that still let me know. I know you listen you probably listen to that one, so let me know if that one's still a good one. You know, I mean, boomers great. Boomer, again, he'd ease up the ties as the

1:11:31Rod Palmer top listener in terms of hours per week. Just an absolute animal gets after it. But, you know, we still need podcasters. Don't work for the government. So large pool to your civilian friends, Boomer.

1:11:48Richard Greaser I like the idea of the the podcast rating system. I think it's a good idea, like, newbie friendly, expert, intermediate.

1:11:58Rod Palmer Yeah. For sure. Maybe an IT inspection. Yeah. Let us know what you guys think. What would be the perfect rating system? How should fountain integrate that? They've got more changes to add to their list. Do you have any closing thoughts, Richard?

1:12:17Richard Greaser Enjoy time with your family this weekend. Yeah. Labor day. Just don't ever underestimate the importance of that. Time's scarce. Time flies.

1:12:29Richard Greaser Don't live with regrets. Don't look back and regret you not taking advantage

1:12:35Rod Palmer of time with your family. Don't waste an that waste an opportunity to grill out or just hang out with your grandma or your family members. Getting called retarded by Shenobi on spaces for the hundredth time is you're just not gonna be on your deathbed and wish you had more of those. You're gonna wish you spent just hanging out with, the people closest to you. So think about that

1:13:01Rod Palmer before you get into another node to date on Twitter this week. Absolutely.

1:13:07Richard Greaser Well, guys, thank you for listening to this edition of the Bugle Weekly, and we'll catch you next week.
