Transcript: Reflections From The Frontier | Bugle Weekly Episode 83 Part 2
0:00Richard Greaser Well, howdy there, folks. Trinkets for Plebs is the best place where you can trade your hard earned sats for the finest trinkets this side of the having. Now listen here. Don't y'all waste another second worrying about inflation, affording your taxes, or your wife leaving you for a yield farmer named Chad because she's tired of listening to you explain how Bitcoin fixes this. Those ain't your problems. Your problem is them shitcoiners. That's right. While you're stacking sats and maintaining decentralization, them slick haired, vest wearing token salesman are out there selling plebs vapor. Not here, buddy. No, sir. At Trinkets for Plebs, we sell real purity test certified trinkets. You just hodl tight, buy the dip, and buy these trinkets that decentralize the network, and boom, the world's problems are solved. Now I don't take responsibility for market cycles, the government prosecuting wallet developers, or why your hardware wallet's still in the mail. But I'll tell you what I do take responsibility for, yelling at shitcoiners who are scamming the plebs until they cry. So come on down to Trinkets for Plebs, where you can ignore the reality that you are paying taxes to the Epstein list to start new wars and get lost in the magic of our finest trinkets, trinkets for plebs, because Bitcoin fixes everything, and the trinkets let you participate in the revolution.
1:15Rod Palmer It's been a year, folks. One whole year since the presidential selection. Because let's be honest, it's not an election anymore. It's like peep picking the least rotten avocado at Whole Foods and praying it doesn't turn into black sludge the second you get home. America reelected
1:35Rod Palmer Donald Trump. We all acted like it was the second coming of Moses with a lightning bolt in one hand and a multisixe phrase in the other. We said, oh, this is it. This is Bitcoin's moment. Wild bull market, hyperbitcoinization, plebs the ante in the streets. Ross Ulbricht freed from prison by Trump in a top hat riding in a Lamborghini with laser eyes sheeping out of his head. Remember that? Remember that optimism?
2:02Rod Palmer We all got on podcast, put on our finest 2021 vintage number go up merch, and said, and this is gonna be the craziest bull market of our lives. Well, guess what?
2:14Rod Palmer We were wrong. Like, hilariously, embarrassingly, grain scale wrong. I mean, yeah, Donald Trump did. Pardon Ross, good for him. It was like the one good thing he did aside from forgetting to log off Twitter.
2:29Rod Palmer But the price action, the parabolic ego death champagne bathtub bull run, couldn't find it with a search party and a team of blockchain forensic analysts. All I've seen, more action in a Cardano subreddit.
2:46Rod Palmer And no one, no one predicted paper Bitcoin summer, except maybe that one guy with the glass eye who tweets all caps about M and F. Suddenly you've got a meme stock ETFs for synthetic Bitcoin exposure being treated by retired dentists in Boca Raton. Swan launches their paper Bitcoin Treasury Index or whatever, and now it's trading like the Sears catalog in 2023,
3:13Rod Palmer One of the biggest flops of the cycle. It's like watching a reality show where the final reveal is just a wet rug in a shrug emoji. So did we learn anything? Did anyone learn anything? Absolutely not.
3:29Rod Palmer Club Zaggers still think we're going to vote our way to hyperbitcoinization. If we just elect the right guy, Bitcoin will moon. Yeah, sure. Let's elect Kid Rock while we're at it. Let's get the mayor of Margaritaville to run the Treasury, and we'll put the Winklevoss twins in charge of the FBI. That ought to fix it. I don't know, man. Maybe Kamala would have pumped our bags harder.
3:53Rod Palmer Maybe she'd have done some TikTok diplomacy with Saudi Arabia and gotten sovereign wealth funds to FOMO into Satoshis on OpenSea. I'm just spitballing here. The only thing I do know is this, 99% of the space
4:08Rod Palmer will earn nothing. Nada. Zip. We're still out here voting for kings like this medieval Europe with laser eyes, still drinking that sweet greasy plebs slop like it's artisanal bone broth. But hey, it's important to reflect. It's important to look back and say,
4:27Rod Palmer what did we do right? Whether we horribly fumble? And why do we keep pretending the free market cares what color the tie the president wears? You know, so maybe maybe this is uncomfortable conversation. Let's talk about how we blew it, why we blew it, what cursed meme coin will distract us from blowing it again next cycle. Is it gonna hurt? We'll see what next year is like. We'll see if we're our predictions are any better. I didn't vote, so I have the right to complain. I didn't blow blow it. Yeah. You you're right. I mean, the people out there who abstained,
5:04Rod Palmer who they didn't act, they didn't knack, they just observed, they just noticed. Do you guys
5:12Richard Greaser take your victory lap? Yeah. It's it's funny. I mean, the the libertarians try and, take the moral high ground with their, pub slop and, you know, they they're never in the power position to ever, you know, have any influencer decisions to
5:32Richard Greaser to campaign on no new wars and then start a bunch of new new wars. So they think that they have, you know, any space to talk and, you know, they'll sit there in their podcast about how if you had voted for Chase Oliver or, you know, whoever, everything would have been better. But, you know, the reality is is, the the true winners are the people that don't vote. They listen to podcasts, and they just do better things with their time. But you you become when you become immune to the political plebslop,
6:08Richard Greaser you're gonna be a winner at the end of the day. While the rest of society is tying themselves in knots over nothing, You could be building a future for yourself. You can be focusing on things that actually have substance and and value. Those are the two winners.
6:29Rod Palmer You know, last year, this time, we had a lot of craziness that we kind of thought we saw coming down the road on the horizon, but none of us were prepared for this, like, coalescing
6:49Rod Palmer of nods of slop, right? It condensed into this what we're calling now club slop which some people are kind of like sick of talking about this, but it's it's more talked about, more relevant than ever today. And I don't I I just did not see this coming. I did not see it
7:11Rod Palmer at least being so ubiquitous. Like, there was always some little sloppers on the side, some guys who was made some sailor AI crap and yada yada yada, but like I did not see it becoming I called it a cottage industry. It's not a cottage industry. This is I mean, PlumbSlop could be in the S and P 500 by next year. Like that's what we're looking at, like this is a parabolic real to Plebslop and it is, it's not going anywhere. I mean now that, maybe it is now that we've identified it and kind of can start calling it out,
7:43Rod Palmer but if they didn't have any shame to start doing it, like I don't, I don't, I don't see any, I don't see shame being what stops the slop train. I don't think anything stops the slop train.
7:60Richard Greaser Yeah. People are coming to the realization the entire US economy, the entire global economy runs on Plebslop. That's why the Exactly. That's why the markets are looking so uncertain right now. A house built on Plebslop cannot stand and and even
8:18Richard Greaser the lowest IQ, Normie Pleb, sees this and realizes it.
8:26Rod Palmer And there's no way that we give less club slop with interest rates coming down. Club slop is a zero interest rate phenomenon, and it still, it still exists and it still
8:42Rod Palmer proliferates on the margins at, you know, non zero but still low interest rates. Quantitative easing is it's like a petri dish
8:56Rod Palmer for pep slop, and it's just gonna it's just gonna keep you know, like spreading, like mold, like a fungus, like the mycelium. Plebslaw is like mycelium. You think that you think that, like, this little
9:13Rod Palmer isolated instance of Plub Slop in the forest, so to speak, is isolated, but it percolates underground and the crew chats, and it spreads and it pops its head up again with a new with a new, you know, mushroom head somewhere over in Europe, somewhere over in England, somewhere over in in Asia.
9:35Rod Palmer Some plub slopperer, you know, connected with somebody in a different con, on a different continent, but we're gonna see pleb slop in Antarctica soon. Do you have any idea what's in, or any theories
9:45Richard Greaser on what's in Antarctica?
9:49Rod Palmer Why are they in the desert? Some people think there's an ice wall. You know, so Dick Whitman believes in an ice wall. He thinks that you go down there, you hit the ice wall. Some people think that there's oil. Some people wanna go drill for oil.
10:09Rod Palmer And who knows? It's largely unchartered territory at least like underneath the ice shelf. There's some maps from thousands of years ago that seem to have seemed to indicate that there used to be not as much ice down there and that maybe there was some sort of civilization,
10:29Rod Palmer but I think I think Antarctica might just be like a a blank canvas for Plebslop to to paint it. Like, if we melt the ice caps,
10:47Rod Palmer we can, you know, right now think about it, like, we're trying to update our infrastructure in The United States, right? Like whether it's the tech infrastructure, the mobile communications infrastructure, the the the old trad infrastructure for like driving cars on highways and bridges, and and to like rebuild and to paint a new paint a new portrait of society.
11:11Rod Palmer We kind of have to over, you know, destroy or repair or paint over some of the old infrastructure, but that's not the case in Antarctica. Antarctica is a blank canvas. We can take our plebslop politics or plebslop economics
11:30Rod Palmer or plebslop values then we can create an entirely new, entirely novel and distinct
11:41Rod Palmer new artifacts of history in Antarctica as long as there's no ice wall. And if there's an ice wall, then we can just put Club Slop graffiti on it.
11:53Richard Greaser So Kaylee's been a little bit frustrated with the two of us. She thinks that we're both addicted to Club Slop. What are your thoughts on that?
12:01Rod Palmer Well, in my case, it's true. I mean, I I don't deny it. But my job as a journalist is to cover the stories of the that matter to people, matter to their wallets, matter to their families, and Plebslot matters. Plebslot is important.
12:20Rod Palmer And in order it's like it's like being an undercover cop. And sometimes you have to do the fentanyl, you have to do the heroin, you have to do the drugs with the cartel members and the gang members, etcetera. And, you just gotta, you have to participate. You can't
12:40Rod Palmer go in free of plexilop if you wanna cover this stuff.
12:45Richard Greaser Yeah. I would say this is, one of the more important stories, one of the most noteworthy stories that surround today is the exposing of this. Yeah.
12:57Rod Palmer Yeah. Yeah. If you if you want to cover you know, you're like, what's the quote? Like, if you want to make an egg, you have to or if you want to make an omelette, you have to crack a few eggs. If you want to make some slop, you have to crack a few pellets.
13:14Rod Palmer You have to you have to get dirty, you have to risk getting slop on your suit, you have to risk getting slop on your cigarette while you're trying to smoke it. It's it's unavoidable. It's like, you know, trying to work in a in a gas and oil field and you're you're worried about getting, you know, getting some some petroleum on your knickers on your steel toe, dude. This is gonna happen.
13:40Richard Greaser Is it part of the reason why I like Atlas Shrugged so much is, Rand was, you know, she's writing that book. She was very cognizant of the dangers of plebslop and and what it could do to society and culture, and that's what she was, really writing about. That's what the the book was, was this this tension, this battle between slop and signal.
14:07Richard Greaser It was, you know, a very prophetic book. I feel like in in many ways, she was able to predict what happens when a society universally embraces slop that the people that are pursuing or producing signal, they just get so frustrated they they end up leaving.
14:28Richard Greaser You you see so many examples of it in the book of they're just you know, people throw up their hands or they say, we're tired of fighting the slop. We're just gonna go hang out in Gold's Gulch. Like, the the slop consumers, the plebs are not worthy of our signal. They don't appreciate it. They don't appreciate us doing things that are valuable in the economy,
14:51Richard Greaser in art, and music. And we're just gonna go retreat, and we're gonna have a signal a high signal gulch where we hang out with people that appreciate us. And, I think we're seeing that happen. We're gonna see it accelerate
15:08Richard Greaser even even quicker. Right.
15:12Rod Palmer You know? Yeah. I mean, that's a good point. It's slop your mother if you want to slop. I think it's slop onto others as you just want slopth upon you. I think if people start to realize that
15:30Rod Palmer slop does slop is not the currency of the value for value economy. And if you try to use if you try to pay other people in slop, you're gonna you're gonna see yourself
15:46Rod Palmer slowly deprecated and isolated from the value for value economy. You're not gonna make it. You can't sail to the gulch on a on a shit named a slop. It's gonna sink. You're just gonna get carried away by the waves of slop. You're never gonna make it to Valhalla. You're never gonna make it to the citadels. And it's just a, it's a personal responsibility issue at a certain point. It's like, if you want,
16:12Rod Palmer you know, it think about The United States. Well, the people, it criticized The United States with the way it was founded and it was conquered. And it was people who came from Europe and they said, we're taking our guns and we're going to this new continent. And the people without them, when we got here, kinda just pushed them to the to the Dakotas,
16:37Rod Palmer gave them reservations, casinos, gave them their little slot casinos, and we said, alright. You can live here. We'll leave you alone. And it's like, if you don't wanna end up on the plub slop reservation with your little slop casinos and you wanna actually participate in the real society, like you've gotta take personal responsibility. Otherwise you're gonna follow the same,
16:59Rod Palmer the same path as the native Americans. You're gonna follow the same path of new Yorkers who are now trapped on, on the island of slop with, with, you know, Zara on slapped on me. It's, it's not a good future. You don't want to go down this road. Absolutely.
17:15Richard Greaser Well, one of the things that I think is a really important story is the, samurai dev sentencing that's going on right now. But I I think, unfortunately, a lot of people aren't aware of the importance of this because they're, it's being covered up
17:39Richard Greaser by all the slop, by the the bullish news of, nothing burgers, of Fidelity offering Bitcoin withdrawals. Yeah.
17:49Rod Palmer Everybody's everybody's still worried about Kurt Dozier, David Sachs has promised the economy is going to get another injection of regulatory clarity. You know, Kreen Tandell's posting about how the Hong Kong Stock Exchange is gonna start allowing, you know,
18:11Rod Palmer more slop stocks to be traded. The institutions are con nobody's talking about the cypherpunks who write code, who actually were, you know, doing things to improve privacy
18:25Rod Palmer on chain, like, they are getting locked away for five years. Yeah.
18:31Richard Greaser Yeah. I mean, these are these, I guess, you know, the the friendliness that the Trump administration is trying to have, you know, with Bitcoin users or companies using or or peddling
18:48Richard Greaser stuff, is, you know, they'll arrest you in the same ways that they did before. But, you know, if you donate enough to their campaign, they they might pardon you. And so I think this is what they're setting up for is, you know, Kean Rodriguez might be in prison for three years until the next selection cycle, and depending on if he
19:14Richard Greaser or or people representing him donate enough to a political campaign, he might get off a year early
19:22Rod Palmer from a supervised release. Do you think that this has to do with I mean, his last name is Rodriguez. Do you think this this is, like, the like, the ice guys who are like, listen. Go hard. Bring the hammer down. Do you think it would be the same if his last name was, you know,
19:43Rod Palmer Ariant?
19:46Richard Greaser Or Jewish?
19:47Rod Palmer Probably not. Did did the samurai does that have Jewish lawyers?
19:52Richard Greaser No. This this is something I I think part of the reason that they got in trouble, we were talking with Zach Shapiro about this, that, unfortunately, the samurai lawyers were not Jewish, and and that was very concerning to me right off the bat. This is Zach Shapiro, a good Jewish lawyer, told us that, like, he he was getting funding for non Jewish lawyers. I think that was a huge tactical mistake. Like, they should have definitely used, Fillmore Katz and Katz and,
20:25Richard Greaser Colbury law firm,
20:26Unknown for sure.
20:28Rod Palmer Yeah. Absolutely. I mean, I don't I don't wanna use this opportunity or take this time to criticize any of the decisions this Amorite devs made. They made some bad decisions, but like that's not the point. The point is, you know, state's evil and it is coming down. And like anybody who wants to pretend that we're like in this new era
20:49Rod Palmer of, on chain freedom is is deluding themselves, debasing themselves.
20:58Richard Greaser Yeah. One of the things that was interesting about the sentencing is, it sounded like the judge was citing their tweets as a reason to, have a little bit more of an aggressive sentencing, which
21:14Richard Greaser if you're getting sentenced for your tweets, I don't see that how that's a whole lot different than what we're seeing in The UK right now. Right. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, it's
21:25Rod Palmer it's slot for slot. I mean, it's just it's just a a different translation.
21:31Richard Greaser Yeah. I just I I think we it it's been a while since we talked about this. We talked a lot about it early on in the the Beagle Weekly podcast when we first started it that all we really want to see is equality
21:51Richard Greaser under the law that, you know, the politicians and the intelligence agencies, the CIA are held to the same standards that Bitcoin developers are held to. If if it's legal for them to launder money, it should be, legal for other people to launder money for normal people too as well. If it's legal for them to
22:15Richard Greaser insider meme coin trade, it should be illegal for and I guess this is one, you know, thing that that Donald Trump has done, which has been productive, is he essentially legalized meme coin trading for the plows. Like, Kaylee Welch didn't get in trouble.
22:35Richard Greaser Other meme coin traders, they they kinda got let off the hook. I think what what he saw, it was an opportunity to collect more tax money from their their game their meme coin trades. So I think he's a he's a huge fan of that. You know?
22:53Rod Palmer You know? One thing I didn't see this happening this year, was I I saw this coming but I just saw, you know, you've been dabbling with Corey at Swan and about Klevyslop and, you know, he he's gotten so low
23:11Rod Palmer that he's now trying to find an ally in JW Weatherman, one of his biggest critics. Like one of the only people speaking out about Swan in 2021 was JW Weatherman. And now Corey is trying to find comic ground with the Wookiee. Yeah. I feel bad for Corey
23:29Richard Greaser right now. I I've been throwing jabs at him because I I think he's deserving of it. It's it's hard, you know, where when all the hoopla started about Swan a while ago when they had issues with Prime Trust, you know, I found myself
23:48Richard Greaser there was a dog pile. Everybody turned their backs on Corey. Everybody wanted to shit on him. It was like the the trending thing to do at the time. People like Hottle Magoo were really having a field day. Udi was just dunking, on him left and right, looking like LeBron James. And I I was frustrated because I was like, okay. You guys are overdoing it. You're you're turning the the swan dunking into anti swanitism,
24:21Richard Greaser and I felt almost obligated to defend Corey because, you know, when somebody's on the ground, they're getting kicked on the ground, you you kinda have to break up the fight. You know what I mean? It's a it's a little bit too too much, you know. You you got your punches in. You made them look stupid. They lost the fight.
24:44Richard Greaser Okay. You gotta move on. But, you know, what I'm seeing now is that it appears that Corey has learned absolutely nothing from getting his ass kicked. Absolutely nothing. And it is sad to see he's he's he's
25:04Richard Greaser posting the exact same pep slop that he's been posting for the last few years. It's out of style. It's aged poorly. And he really hasn't, you know, changed anything in his behavior that got him in trouble. And I feel like it's important to address that.
25:25Richard Greaser What I wanna see from Corey is I wanna see him just have a little bit more self awareness, have imposed higher quality, more pertinent plebslop. You know, shitting on the shit coins at this point is just so uninteresting because the shit coins are have never been more uninteresting and uncompelling.
25:49Richard Greaser Nobody cares anymore. Your tinker tokens don't matter. People are excited about Zcash. Zcash is Some of these paper Bitcoin companies market caps are significantly bigger than the shit coins. That's where we're at.
26:07Richard Greaser It just doesn't matter. It's a it's an uninteresting topic. It's not a threat to the plagues. People are getting scammed way worse getting liberal arts degrees from from colleges than they are for the shit coins. Oh, You know, and this is the sad thing
26:25Rod Palmer is a few years ago, Swan did provide trinkets to plebs and the plebs love those trinkets. And, but, like you said, there's been no growth, there's been no learning, there's been no progress, there's been no there's been no value added since, I mean,
26:47Rod Palmer late twenty twenty one maybe. I mean, I don't know when the value was added, but it isn't. They they taught the plebs how to the DCA. They taught the plebs how to hodl and because they were they didn't have a sell button and most of the people that use Swan they don't know how to sell, they coin if it's if the button's on the website. So they provided some value but like there's just been zero growth, zero progress, zero improvement and he he should know better. Corey should know better.
27:16Rod Palmer He's gotta, you know, he wants to brag about his, his resume and then he he he he he he he touts it as a as a signal but if it's so good you should know better. You should know better. The most is a lot of, I can think of a thousand plants who have improved and grown and progressed more
27:40Rod Palmer than in Cory since 2021. Adam Sameco is a great example. You know,
27:47Richard Greaser after four years, I I you would imagine that somebody with as much resources and VC money as Corey could come up with a better Twitter marketing model than just copying Pleditor's tweets? I mean,
28:04Rod Palmer I don't even think you need VC money for that. I think I think you could do that if you had a budget on Tether on Tron, which I think even highlights even more the, the crisis of content
28:18Rod Palmer that is play. I mean, Swan hasn't had good content since, and dare I say it, since Simply Bitcoin forked off. Plunters running plunters running circles around them.
28:30Richard Greaser That's what I mean about, you know, the VC money is you can acquire Plebslop dealers, the up and coming ones. Like, if if if he had paid Green Candle a little bit of money and brought him under the Swan umbrella, just imagine how much better their content would be. Green Candle, you know, is way ahead of the curve. Instead of copying Pledger's tweets like Corey has for the last four years, he's copy pasting Rizzo tweets. Like, Rizzo
28:60Richard Greaser is the frontline of the evolution of Plebslop. Like, he is on the beat for sure in regards to innovation around that.
29:13Rod Palmer Yeah. Nobody's beating their slop. Nobody's beating their slop better than Rizzo. But, yeah, weird, weird week for Bugle Weekly. This we're I mean, we're recording this one on Friday. So,
29:30Rod Palmer we'll be back to normal stuff next week. But, do we wanna get into the the the boosts?
29:37Richard Greaser I think so. Our last episode was titled, Chain Splits and Jewish Lawyers. First poo is from Enox six one six five thousand sat says, I just went through a nicksick because I was so retarded and tried a forty milligram iceberg pouch.
29:58Richard Greaser Anyway, after the bit four four four scandal yesterday on x, I saw some spammers saying that there was a hard fork they would find a way to spam the new chain. Nazis don't realize the spammers like to see them pissed off. Meanwhile, I'll be waiting for the Bcash junior airdrop. Yeah.
30:21Rod Palmer The the whole spam thing, it's it's like BHG or airdrop. It's, it's reactionary. You can't keep up. It's like trying to create regulations around what the market's doing. It'll just adapt. So,
30:35Rod Palmer really, everybody's what they're doing is they're gonna create a a chain split, and all the spammers will just move all this. They'll they'll put all the spam there instead of, the real chain. I don't think they really care about
30:48Richard Greaser stopping all the spam. I've listened to them enough. They just wanna make it Right. Difficult. And what they want, ultimately, is they want to have these third parties act as gatekeepers
31:02Richard Greaser for the spam so that they have an opportunity to send legal letters to these, you know, essentially private mempools
31:14Richard Greaser or transaction accelerators. That's their goal. It's just,
31:22Rod Palmer it's it's just like it's just like regular politics. All of the policy is, it's all optimized to basically make more jobs, make more work, and make more money for lawyers. When you have a lawyer's perspective,
31:41Richard Greaser every problem looks like a lawsuit.
31:44Rod Palmer That's right. They're very litigious.
31:48Richard Greaser I'm eating speaking of booze, Barn Miner gave me some, spicy beef jerky. So that's his So the last So last episode,
31:59Rod Palmer you were eating spicy jalapenos and now you're eating spicy beef jerky on on the while recording.
32:07Richard Greaser This isn't making me cry though. Yeah. I don't know. If you listen carefully to our episode with Stu, I was, my face was all red. My skin was, crawling. I just felt I was I was hungry, and the only thing I had next to me was jalapenos. So I just had
32:26Rod Palmer to eat. The next, next piece is from Bubba, 5,000 sats. Bubba says, hell, I wake up every day at 04:30 or 5AM for no apparent reason. Happy tether mining to everyone. Well,
32:41Richard Greaser one of the nice things about waking up that early is you get to see the sunrise every day. I think it's a healthy, activity. You know, seeing the sunrise, seeing the sunset, taking the time to go sit out there, see nature, takes you out of the pub slop. It's a it's a good healthy activity, so I wouldn't say it's for nothing boa.
33:02Rod Palmer Bubba gets up at the butt crack at dawn and suns his balls. It's a good way to start the day.
33:10Richard Greaser It's pretty incredible to just be able to smoke a cigarette and see the glory of, the sun lighting up the chemtrails in the sky. So there were there were a lot of people saying that, the chemtrails stopped with the government shutdown.
33:28Richard Greaser How long are we on? We're over a month with the with the government being shut down.
33:34Rod Palmer Yeah. It's the longest one ever as of Wednesday. Yeah. I got into it with
33:42Richard Greaser Bernoulli on Twitter. He was he was Oh, yeah. Was saying that the government wasn't shut down for long enough. I agree with Luke on that point. I thought it was a good point. And, his his argument for wanting the government to not be shut down is he wants, TSA to get their funding, which I thought was a really strange
34:03Rod Palmer perspective to have. Well, no. I think you interpreted that wrong. I think he's as mad that they they're canceling thousands of flights, and he can't, can't make his flight to some conference. But they're always canceling flights, whether Yeah. They're canceling, like, 40% of flights now because there's they they don't have FAA. Because FAA is federally funded. But even when they're Like the air traffic controllers.
34:32Richard Greaser Even when they're funded, they're still canceling an absurd amount of flights because apparently, there's not enough, air traffic controllers. It's just you know, you you look at the world around you, seeing how the free market can, fix things and and how government intervention screws everything up, and it's just it's kinda maddening to look at. Like, why why do you need the government to, you know, be able to
34:59Richard Greaser safely hop on an airplane? It doesn't make any sense.
35:05Rod Palmer Yeah. It's not even not safe.
35:09Richard Greaser It's not safe because you can't smoke cigarettes. I mean, imagine how much safer it would be if the FAA was sitting there, chain smoking cigarettes inside their control towers and, you know, the pilots were able to smoke. They were sitting in there, you know, chewing on Zins or whatever,
35:30Richard Greaser getting gayer. It's like, why are they having to have women pilots? It's because men don't wanna sit in an airplane for hours and hours and hours not being able to smoke cigarettes.
35:44Rod Palmer Now imagine you go fly from San Francisco to Sydney, Australia. You can't even have a cigarette the whole time. It's absurd.
35:55Richard Greaser The only the only place that makes sense are, like, from, like, Knoxville to Nashville or from Seattle to Portland, like, these these short from LA to San Francisco, these really incredibly short flights that you could tolerate not smoking a cigarette for, like, thirty minutes or so. But, yeah, absolutely absurd. Well, the next one is, from Odie.
36:20Rod Palmer 21 nighters. That's all my hash rate because the bugle fork. Well, we're not we're we're not, we're not gonna be forking, but, if we did, it's good to know we got bid access defending defending the chain. Why not fork?
36:38Richard Greaser If they're gonna fork, we should fork too for the hell of it. All you need is, like, two bit access worth the hash rate. We've got open source pool software. We can have our own tinker token that lasts for, like, two weeks and has no econ hedge value.
36:57Rod Palmer Hell, yeah.
36:58Richard Greaser It's like spinning off your own test net, essentially. We're not gonna we're not gonna rile you guys up or say Bitcoin's broken to to try and support our fork, but, might be a fun process. Bitcoin journalism chain.

38:11Rod Palmer This
38:13Richard Greaser women find credentialed journalists' hot. I think it's pretty inherent. Yeah. I was talking to somebody recently, you know, some a very well respected woman in this industry. I won't say who, but, she was telling me one of her biggest regrets was, decide not to date a guy because he smoked cigarettes. And and looking back at the rear view mirror, her life could have looked incredibly different being with a based individual like that.
38:42Rod Palmer Yeah. You don't wanna live life regrets with regrets, like, not dating the smoker. Speaking of hot listeners, the next one is Shadrach, 323 sets. Great show, fantastic actress on Pioneer's Feed on Signal.
