0:00Richard Greaser You I sort of think of Bitcoin conference like a little more dorky,

0:04Rod Palmer where there was a lot of dudes with pretty hot chicks. Yeah. It's there's a real and you know what? No. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand why. Yes. Obviously. And I think, you know, if you went to some ask someone who went to the Bitcoin conference eight years ago, it was all, like, libertarians and, it was grimier, like, more off the grid people. Now it's just finance people. It's all finance pros, and they're all like, how do we you know, we have all these big I did some weird I did see some weird nerd looking guys with smoke shows though. Yeah. That will that's why. So the weird nerd dudes, like the weirdos, those are the OGs. The guys that were there in the first place, it's like, yeah. He has a smoke show because he's owned Bitcoins in fucking 2005. Yeah. Exactly. Like, he bought it when it was a dollar. This guy owns 45% of Yeah. Exactly. So those guys had a nice little blow up.

3:21Kailey Welch Thank you.

3:24Richard Greaser Welcome back, folks, to the Beagle Weekly. I know it's been a little bit. We were busy. We were pod coughing. We were behind enemy lines at the Plevslov Super Bowl, last week.

3:40Richard Greaser And, you know, we we kinda thought we might get an episode. I think Rod was a little bit more optimistic on it than I was. But, yeah, it was a lot. There was a lot going on. We were in Las Vegas. We were getting bombarded with the EMFs. We're walking through the halls of the Venetian, looking at the boomers gambling away their social security checks. It was just like I mean, you can see the souls getting suck sucked out of their bodies into those,

4:13Richard Greaser weird machines, just clicking the button over and over again. I I wish we had an aura camera to capture their aura or lack thereof, but we had a good time. You know, there there's a lot to unpack. I know some some of you were there.

4:33Richard Greaser We had a good time hanging out with you. Had a good time at the the first ever Phish podcast meetup last Thursday. But some of you weren't, and we'll we'll catch you up to speed on, what happened.

4:51Richard Greaser Ron, what what were the highlights

4:53Rod Palmer for you of the PodCom Super Bowl? For me, it was just the it was the vibes and it was the there was just no plebs. There were no plebs there this year. The plebs were replaced by fish fans. I mean, we got there, and like the three days before the conference, they just ended a three day fish run, and then as soon as the conference ended

5:21Rod Palmer there's another three day fish run. Bitcoiners and and jammed in aficionados fish fans were all packed into,

5:32Rod Palmer the Venetian casino which if you've never been there is this giant it's basically a Plexuslav Venice. I was surprised to not you know, I was surprised to see that Alan Farrington didn't come this year because he says you know he wrote the book Bitcoin is Venice.

5:50Rod Palmer And Bitcoin was a it was it was plug slot Venice for the Bitcoin conference. And we were there with the fish fans and people you would you could go to a Phish show at the Sphere which is its own incredible experience. Any show I think in that sphere is probably incredible. Every day is just an incredible experience but seeing Phish there,

6:13Rod Palmer you can see that and then you go back and you know, you could get, you know, a cheese wherever you want for dinner. A million restaurants, you could ride the gondola. You could gamble your social security check. You could go back to your room, go to sleep. You never have you never go outside. You never leave the building. So it's just all these fish people and Bitcoin people and

6:36Rod Palmer you could smoke inside. I mean it on paper it sounds awesome. In reality,

6:45Rod Palmer it was awesome. It was really good, it was great. The vibes were like the the the fish fans replaced the plebs. And let me tell you, going to going and hanging out with all your friends, the Bitcoiners at a Bitcoin conference,

7:02Rod Palmer no plebs placed by fish fans, you could smoke inside, It's it doesn't get much better than that. So I think that's why the vibes were high. The Bitcoin comfort itself was pretty cool. You know, PodCom will be PodCom. The four horsemen, they still reign.

7:19Rod Palmer You know, the the announcements they rang every you know they had this they had this thing this like strobe light that was going off in the Expo Hall. And I thought that it was going off every time somebody made an announcement. Turns out it was going off every time a new block was found on Bitcoin. But that's how many announces like every ten minutes another announcement. And Dennis Porter was on it there on stage for the first time ever. Mike Brahe crashed out to save democracy.

7:48Rod Palmer Michael Saylor announced that the best crypto asset was now stretched. His new equity preferred 11% dividends. You had, you know, pre candle was announced in Plebslop. We were we saw Marty Marty Bent's intern. We got to meet him, Trevor.

8:07Rod Palmer We got to we got to provide counseling to him how not to get caught up in the Plebslop. Got to troll Tall Sports. Erin Red Wing was looking hot the entire time. Every time I saw her, she looked hot. It was cool. It was it was it was

8:25Rod Palmer the the pod concert was the Plemslop Super Bowl. I think what what I where I noticed was the fish fans they didn't understand the Pledslop, but they they tolerated it.

8:41Rod Palmer They didn't just tolerate it. I think some of them enjoyed it a little bit. Everybody tolerate each other so well there. Very tolerable vibes.

8:51Richard Greaser I think one of the most noteworthy parts of this, conference was all the hot women. You know, they they say that you need 12 hugs a day to not secure your depression. And so, you know, for for the fellows listening in at home,

9:08Richard Greaser if your wife's depressed, give her 12 hugs a day. Fix her right up. If you're depressed, get 12 hugs from your wife. But man, walking around a conference getting 12 hugs a day from hot women. It was depression cured. I mean, I don't have depression because I smoke several times. What were your top five hottest hugs? If I if I had depression, it was cured.

9:32Richard Greaser It was like I don't know. I mean, it was just

9:36Rod Palmer Yeah.

9:37Richard Greaser Everybody's walking around. You you had hot women. You had all these, you know, hot trad wives. It was unbelievable. I mean, it was just like the the the absence of the fat plebs. You could you could actually, like, you had elbow room. You could, it wasn't like there was less attendees, there was just less mass of the attendees,

10:02Rod Palmer if that makes sense. And, More there's more signal, less noise in in a literal and physical, you know, literal and metaphorical sense.

10:13Richard Greaser Yeah, it was,

10:15Rod Palmer How would you rate your top five hugs from the conference? Who were your top five hugs?

10:24Richard Greaser I think Lena Ulbricht number one. And that she gives good hugs. Yeah. Actually, my my number, she I'd put her at number two. She gives great hugs, but I got, like, at least three hugs from Lena. My number one is classified, I will say. But number two is Lynn Ulbricht.

10:47Richard Greaser Number three was do they have to be hot women or could it be anybody?

10:56Rod Palmer Yeah. I never said hot women. I just said you're top the hottest hugs.

11:01Richard Greaser Number three was Evan Kalupis. He's a pretty good guy. That was my

11:08Rod Palmer favorite teddy twister, was Evan.

11:11Richard Greaser He gave you he didn't give me a teddy twister.

11:14Rod Palmer He gave me a t he gave me Evan Evan gave me three things in Vegas this year. He gave me a cigarette, titty twisters, it's free cash. I

11:30Rod Palmer don't know. But the Teddy Twisters the Teddy Twisters were a pleasant surprise, and I saw the I saw the first two coming.

11:40Richard Greaser I probably I'm gonna name more men. I promise I'm not gay. It's kinda like, you know, hugging your brother. You know what I mean?

11:50Rod Palmer So you know So people were able to hug their brothers at the Bitcoin conference. Emily's were there. You got any podcasters. That's, there's a lot of podcasters who I I love like brothers. I have to hide them. I don't know. I I I wasn't wasn't,

12:09Rod Palmer stopping to appreciate the hugs as much as I should. That that honestly, that is, you're right. That is one of the best parts of Bitcoin conferences is hugs. I mean, as much as as much as it's great to to be able to crash out in the group chat with your friends, Nothing beats hugging hugging your brothers from the group chat.

12:32Rod Palmer It seems he's incredible. Yeah.

12:35Richard Greaser I'm not Shinobi isn't on my top five, but, you know, I got plenty of hugs from Shinobi, and that was great. I was kinda, like, afraid that I was gonna, like, catch, like, herpes or something after he was in the kissing booth. Madax, number four. Miss Hoddle and James O. Byrne. I was tied for number five. But, you know, Noah and Le Havre definitely

13:03Rod Palmer I'll I'll I'll put big. Yeah. I I found out on by I logged on to Noster this morning, I saw a BTC on board

13:14Rod Palmer for a Bugle shirt,

13:16Rod Palmer and was walking around the conference and said he got stopped and asked at least 50 times if he was Rod Palmer. But I wish I wish I would've I wish I would've been one of those people that ran into PTC on board because I wish I could've did it in my HUD.

13:32Richard Greaser Me too. You should've messaged those.

13:37Rod Palmer I definitely wouldn't have checked Noster and seen that message, but on Telegram I would have seen it. Who messages people on Noster? Well, I talked to Ovid State. Ovid State, I met him at the conference and he said that he's been DM ing us a lot, about to catch Jasmine, wanted to come on.

13:58Rod Palmer But he said that we ignored him and I told him we did not ignore you, we just did not see it. So we did not check our nostril DMs. Nostril DMs, guys, Twitter DMs are bad enough. Nostril is uncensorable. So,

14:16Rod Palmer those DMs are, you know, just avoid them. There's better ways to contact us, let's just put that way. So, I'm gonna put it g money plaid is on peptides. G Money Pleb is jacked. Yeah, G Money Pleb is like six is like six two, jacked.

14:36Rod Palmer Definitely has like the glow of peptides, really tan. You know, looks like he's pretty probably he probably bench presses

14:51Rod Palmer more than any other pet in the in the world, honestly. I would if there was a previous market, I'd put my money on G money. Speaking of pet base, Tommy, it's nice to see Tommy. I don't know if he remembers seeing us. He was he seemed pretty stoned. He's probably hanging out with Aphra, man.

15:12Rod Palmer Sasha Hodder, I did not realize that her husband was I mean, I knew I I I knew of him, but, you know, I running into him and and seeing the aura, the Pepe aura.

15:31Rod Palmer That was cool. Reminds me of, like, Sasha's got Sasha's a high powered attorney. She's married to, you know, a Pepe like artist.

15:43Rod Palmer Cool dude. And then you got Hailey Lennon. She's married she's a high powered attorney. She's married to Captain Hughes, Bitcoin rapper. It's good to see professional women supporting starving, you know, Bitcoin artists.

16:01Rod Palmer I like to see that.

16:03Richard Greaser Totally.

16:04Rod Palmer It's like you know who runs the note in the family. You know what I mean? It was nice meeting Sasha. I think Sasha got to witness me

16:11Richard Greaser from a distance eating lunch with Mike Brock. That was one that was one of the highlights of my trip because I I was sitting down eating lunch and, Mike Brock came and sat down right next to me, and we talked about this debate. I had a great time. But, yeah, I don't know. They like, the the hogs are underrated, guys. You gotta go to conferences. You gotta give hugs out. Not not weird side hugs.

16:38Richard Greaser You gotta give real hugs. Because these these are your compatriots. You know? These are these are buddies in the group chat. These are the people trying to take down central banking. Right? Need hugs. You're not you're not gonna win there there's two things that are gonna usher in hyper Bitcoinization and it's not fat man and sweatpants.

17:02Rod Palmer It's Hugs and it's Hot Women. There's a lot of Hot Women there too. Like, I mean, half of my Hugs were from Hot Women.

17:11Richard Greaser It was an all time high for Hot Women.

17:14Rod Palmer It was unbelievable. Yeah. I got the I got the same with Noah Groman and Harper at the same

17:23Richard Greaser event. That was incredible to watch. I got to see what was What was your most what was what was the hug

17:29Rod Palmer that you weren't expecting to be is great or is so surprising to you?

17:36Richard Greaser A hug that caught you off guard. I I I just think that the generally, the the amount, like, there wasn't a single one that that really

17:46Rod Palmer It was the hug volume.

17:49Richard Greaser Yeah. It was just I I don't think I've ever been like, the I was hugged more than at a family wedding.

17:58Rod Palmer Did you hug Matt O'Dell? Did you see Matt O'Dell? Did you give him a hug? I didn't.

18:05Richard Greaser I saw him. I don't know if I gave him a hug. I mean, they I I think we should go through and and talk about the moments that we're most proud of. Because I think we both had some pretty significant accomplishments at the event. Like, one of the things I'm most proud about is I got Nostra's hottest and Twitter's hottest women

18:27Richard Greaser or people. They won the bracket in the same room, got a picture with Noah and Aaron Redwing together. That was a big accomplishment. Got to see Noah perform some songs by the Bugle. That was incredible. She played the the Maxi Madness song in forty hours per week,

18:49Richard Greaser and She got she got she got to perform Maxi Madness right there in front of Peter Todd. That was wild. Going to the fish show, you know, I was pretty skeptical, to be honest.

19:10Richard Greaser It it it took it took fundamentals nagging me for a year about it to get me there. Turned out I was great. Seeing

19:20Rod Palmer I mean, we all know that Shinobi likes to to Naruto run. But seeing Shinobi, Naruto running around the open source stage, it's the only way I can describe it is like if you've ever been to an F1 race, someone those Formula one cars zoom past you. It's just like the energy, the shock wave, the power as you feel

19:42Rod Palmer that first lap that's like what it's like when Shinobi route and Ruto runs past you during, you know, a panel about creating open source software. It was it was incredible to absorb.

19:57Rod Palmer The fish show is great. The fish show the spear is great. If you haven't been to the spear, you've got to go to the sphere. It's one thing I don't like when people do is when they try to describe

20:15Rod Palmer a psychedelic experience like taking LSD or magic mushrooms and they try to paint a Pledslaw perspective. And they exaggerate like the visuals and the, you know, oh I I talked to this, you know,

20:32Rod Palmer fractal god or whatever. But even though that that's not really what a psychedelic experience is like, this fear at times Take all those exaggerations and like you might imagine in your mind when you're thinking about one of these pepslop LSD stories, that's what you do see. And then

20:55Rod Palmer with the right music and just the right vibes and the crowd and and the band and the energy back and forth it can it can kind of take you it becomes its own site that it becomes a psychedelic experience and it makes me think that, you know, this is this is probably on par with, like,

21:17Rod Palmer going camping with Brent Canstein and taking magic mud firms or taking DMT or Ayahuasca and having a podcast, like, the only way you're going to be able to get this without actually taking a substance would be to go to a fish show at the the Beta Sphere, during a Bitcoin conference. Yeah, It'd

21:37Richard Greaser be interesting, you know, if they, explored getting people to go to fish shows of the Sphere and compare that to Ibogaine for curing depression and drug addiction.

21:51Richard Greaser But, yeah, it was, I mean, it was phenomenal. Like, it you know, I was a little bit skeptical going in because, like, when you when you look at the sphere on the outside, there's just giant LEDs, and it's, like, burning into your eyeballs. And you go inside, and they have projectors in it on the walls, and it's it's actually very pleasant to look at. Like, it it feels almost natural

22:14Rod Palmer instead of, I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. When I first pulled up to the Sphere and I saw that those LEDs at night, I was a little bit nervous because I don't I don't know

22:31Rod Palmer that I really believe or find doctor Jack Cruz. I don't understand him well enough to know what he's talking about and believe it or not, right, he's just entertaining. But when I pulled up, I was like, oh, man, if he's right about

22:48Rod Palmer these LEDs and these, like, certain wavelengths of light, Look at my, you know, what's the gland, you know, that makes you fat if it's not working right? Just thyroid. I'm like, this thing's gonna roast my thyroid and it's gonna spin my vortexes

23:06Rod Palmer in the wrong direction. I the Bitcoin conference is like I got a lot of hugs to do, I got a lot of trinkets to try to get for free, a lot of t shirts, free t shirts to try to pick up. I got a lot of stuff to do. I didn't want my vortex to spin the wrong way while I was trying to get all this done. But now like, opposite. The this a fish show at the Sphere gets your vortexes spinning at the right speed. Gets your RPMs tint.

23:39Rod Palmer It was really cool and Jack, doctor Curry should maybe consider going to the vaguosphere. I think maybe that would fix his thyroid problems, spin his vortexes the right way. Get back to, you know, being fitter and happier and healthier. You know, back to back to the hug discussion,

23:59Richard Greaser a good hug that I got that I was kinda surprised about how good it was was, Jason from back on on the chain. I had a absolute blast hanging out with Jason. Charlie Spears cool. Jason's great. Yeah. Charlie Spears is

24:14Rod Palmer he's he's one of the he's one of those podcasters, so he's pretty hot, who doesn't get enough attention for being hot.

24:22Richard Greaser He's a pretty good hugger for shit coiner too. Pretty good hugger, good shit coiner,

24:27Rod Palmer pretty good all around talent podcaster. He's a musician. Under under underappreciated in terms of contributions

24:43Rod Palmer and potential for contributions to the space for sure. Don't block space media team, I I would say, falls into that category.

24:53Richard Greaser Yeah. I agree. I had a wonderful time. I went to the Hell Money, meetup. I get to talk to Aaron Redwing and and Charlie for a while and Casey, and, I learned about the new ordinals fad. It seems like dog armies in

25:11Richard Greaser in the past now. They kinda came and went. None of them were there, but, everybody's into these this ordinal set called puppets. So I'm excited to see what the the new ordinals fad is next week. Oh, the puppets were

25:26Rod Palmer the the all the Nazis. Is it like a is that like a satire?

25:32Richard Greaser They're just a bachelor puppet? If there's not, there there probably should be. It's, I don't know. I never really understood ordinals. Like, I I kinda understand what it's like to be, like, a Gen x or a boomer looking at the younger generation and just being dumbfounded, like, by the six, seven meme or something like that. It's just like when when I look at ordinals, they feel old. And

25:57Richard Greaser I don't get it, but I'm just glad that they're having fun. And, they seem like they were having fun. So that's good. Good for them.

26:05Rod Palmer But, You're winning if you're having fun, honestly. Now I one question. There weren't you know, I didn't run into any plans. We talked about this. Do you think

26:23Rod Palmer what do you think it would have been like for a pleb to come? What do you think you know, maybe if plebs in general were there, how do you think it would be different? But, like, you know, the what's the what's the joke or, like, the it's not a joke. It's, I think they proved it on that one show.

26:42Rod Palmer The a Dorito. If you gave a Dorito to a a peasant from, like, the 13 hundreds, one bite, it would be too it would just be too powerful. It would kill him. I almost feel like when you combine the Phish concert at the Sphere

26:60Rod Palmer and in a Bitcoin conference the next day, right, like a two day back to back a parlay, a vibes parlay. Do you think that that would kill a pleb? You tried to experience it? It would be overwhelming.

27:16Richard Greaser I think the experience of the conference for the plebs, it it would have been pretty overwhelming. It it would have been like coming back, your soldier come back from the Vietnam War, come back from the jungle, and being called a a baby killer by a bunch of, dirty hippies. You know what I mean? I think that's probably what the vibe would have been like for them,

27:40Richard Greaser and it would have been pretty That's apt. They just you know, they would have shown up expecting, you know, glaze and, you know, realizing that the VCs just don't have any money to glaze the plugs anymore. I mean, like, you know, historically, they could go to, like, every booth and get a Bitcoin t shirt. There were, like, hardly any Bitcoin t shirts. He had to wait, like, three hours in line to to get a Strike sweatshirt or sweater or whatever. And they had to give Strike or KYC information to to get a sweatshirt from them. You know, Jack Mallers isn't even there to talk to the Plebs.

28:18Richard Greaser He was too busy closing deals with the Epstein client list. Like, you know, it was just or or or trying to get the Tethr money. It it would have just been, you know, a hard a hard time to say the least. Like, they would have had to have left the conference having been so traumatized. They would have had to have taken Ibogaine to recover from it. I mean, I almost think, like, you know, we maybe we should talk to Bitcoin Magazine. It's like, you know, historically, there's been a lot of success. Like,

28:52Richard Greaser you know, churches do it all the time. They have they have Sunday school. Like, they have special programming for children, and, I I think they almost need to do, like, you know, Sunday school for plebs where they they have their safe space in the corner, You know, their their parents can, like, drop them off, or their wives or, you know, whatever. Well, their wives are running around, hanging out with their, you know, well dressed, fit boyfriends. They drop their plebs off

29:21Richard Greaser at, club school at the conference and, you know, that that way they don't have to

29:27Rod Palmer Like, like, they needed a planned daycare at the conference. Yeah. A planned daycare with, you know, it's a Bitcoin daycare. Right? Like, we're gonna have signal, we're gonna listen to podcasts, or in, like, yeah, like you said, like, remedial training, I don't you know, how to set up a node without

29:51Rod Palmer Advent to use a Umbrel or Start Nine, like, how to do it yourself, something like that. Just like, give them because, you know, I don't as much as I dawg on the plaids, I would've it would've been great if they all would've been there and had the right vibes,

30:10Rod Palmer read the room, been more self aware, just more self aware. If the Plebs had more self awareness, maybe and that's why I think the fish fans kind of filling that void of the Pleb. But also, you know, being

30:25Rod Palmer a good crossover between the soup winners and the fish fans so it's a bit like the Pleb component of it. Fish fans are pretty self aware, more self aware than the average. I mean, definitely more self aware than the average Pleb. Self aware and they have low time preferences on average

30:49Rod Palmer considerably low time preferences compared to the average NPC or the Pleb. And also know how to work just kind of think against new information taking in experience and reserve judgment and reflect on things a little bit without, you know, spazzing out.

31:09Rod Palmer And if you so if you could just take all those qualities from from Phish fans and couple it with the, you know, the Phish fans, they know how to have fun. They know how to have fun and they know when to have fun

31:25Rod Palmer and in the right context and how to have the right amount of fun in a group of people without, you know, pulling out the non aggression principle and spurging out just because somebody asked them to be respectful of their space while their while their pounded beers

31:45Rod Palmer on Molly. And it's I think the plebs would have spent too much time running around the conference documenting all the all the purity tests failures that they witnessed because

32:04Rod Palmer they they just would have been preoccupied with all of these ways in which other influencers and Bitcoiners have failed them. Instead of, you know just having a good time and trying to mirror back the the positive vibes that they were getting from everybody else.

32:27Richard Greaser Yeah. I mean, it was it was pretty funny. You know, you you had like, every time I open up Twitter, which wasn't very many times this week, the plans would be crashing out. You know, you got Hottle Magoo, you know, criticizing this, like, you know, criticizing Sailor. And

32:46Richard Greaser it it was, like, helpful to to see the criticisms because I just wasn't paying attention to that stuff. You know, I was I was getting hugs from hot women and, you know, running around and having a good time and, listening to Aaron Redwing and True Heather talk about, you know, astrology and Bitcoin,

33:08Richard Greaser listening to Noah Gorman talking about music, you know, listening to people, you know, talk about, like, interesting or, you know, productive things, having having fun conversations. It's just you you would think from, like, looking at Twitter that it was, like, an apocalyptic event, but I I think it was, like I I I still think that it's important to, you know, hold Polycom's feet to to the fire, but it's just like, you know, you can you can have a good time in the midst of Potkov if you have the right strategy.

33:39Richard Greaser And I think, a lot of people just had, you know, the wrong strategy, but it's just, it was kind of astounding to see how different, you know, the experiences people were having. And, you know, the of course, the plebs sitting at home watching the live streams were having a bad time because they weren't getting hugs from hot women all week. I mean, it's just like, you know, maybe next year, you know, what Bitcoin magazine could do in the replies is like, you know, you have a grumpy club crashing out at the conference. It's just like vibe check them a little bit and be like,

34:13Richard Greaser how many hugs did you get from your wife today? And seeing

34:19Rod Palmer and seeing and hearing about all the hugs people were getting, see, you know, people there's a lot of commentary like, Oh, you know, who the fuck would go to a Bitcoin conference this year? David Bailey? Whatever. Whatever they're mad about that the conference, for whatever reason,

34:39Rod Palmer is against their principles is against the principles of physics thermodynamics according to some of them. It's but then seeing just seeing, like, dude, I if I would've went, I I could've huddled f rap Fenixson. I could've huddled whoever your favorite influencers, like, it was everybody was keeping out Alex, like, you did

35:02Rod Palmer you did even barely have to ask. And they missed out on that. And I think someone maybe tried to retreat and tried to get chatty b t to glaze them, make them feel better.

35:17Richard Greaser Did you hug it up front?

35:21Rod Palmer No. I didn't. I didn't see her. I mean, I didn't see I saw her on my screen, like, she was there in pictures, but I didn't see her in person.

35:29Richard Greaser I saw her. I didn't hug her.

35:31Rod Palmer I didn't see her in person. Either. I'm gonna love talking to Dennis Porter. But Tom, we are glad to have him back.

35:37Richard Greaser Well, yeah. No. I saw Dennis Porter go by and got, like, a raging erection, and it was pretty awkward. And, but, you know, still glad for it. I mean, it was just yeah. It was great seeing Dennis at the conference even though I didn't get to get to chat with him. But, yeah, Afrot was there. I didn't get a hug from her, but I did get a hug from three other Israelis.

36:03Rod Palmer And, it it almost felt like I was getting a hug directly from Bibi, and that that felt special. Like Yeah. That is a proof. That would be a big that's a that's that's an all time auger right there.

36:14Richard Greaser What would it take to, get to be in the pod?

36:20Rod Palmer That's a good question.

36:23Richard Greaser Well, you know, Say Sailor's always got some, like, young, you know, 20 year old bimbos running around with him. I'm sure give him plenty of hugs.

36:33Rod Palmer Maybe. I don't know what he did. Sailor not even in his AI slot pictures, have I seen him smile in what seems like forever, Sailor seems just as grumpy

36:49Rod Palmer his level of the grumps is at all time highs, and I just I oh, hey, you hear reports, he's kind of reclusive, stays, you know, how to hang out hang out on his estate in Miami by himself or with his, with his intern, Eric Weiss,

37:08Rod Palmer by the pool, reading about thermodynamics, yada yada yada, reading about the stock price, thinking about all the dues, criticizing him on Twitter. I just feel like, you know, showing up to Vegas, getting the hood from Natalie Brunel,

37:26Rod Palmer you know, all these all all his all his biggest blazers in the industry, just getting that that touch, that irritable life, like, hey. You're, you know, Danny Knowles had the audacity to question paper Bitcoin,

37:42Rod Palmer but, like, we still support you. Like, most of the podcasters still support you. And

37:49Richard Greaser we would love to have you on our podcast. Can we have a, you know, selfie? Like, that had the field test. I I don't think I we could ever have Sailor on our podcast until he starts wearing reasonable shoes. Did you see his shoes?

38:02Rod Palmer Yeah. They're not as bad as the governor of Florida. That guy's got some

38:08Richard Greaser No. They're they're like the same shoes.

38:10Rod Palmer They're like the same shoes as Ron DeSantis. It was unbelievable. So you you think you so the the theory is that Ron DeSantis is wearing high heels under his, you know, his Tallahassee swamp. Tallahassee is a sailor, I guess. Sailor lives in Florida. Do you think maybe Sailor and commonerde Sandis are buying their their shoes from the same cobbler?

38:38Richard Greaser I I think they might have the same cobbler. It was I I just couldn't believe it. I was like, dude, you're a fucking billionaire. What wearing retort shoes? Like, what is this? Amateur hour? I just I I it was astounding to me. I mean,

38:53Richard Greaser it it it could be a sign of, you know, the bear market of, like, maybe he had a good cobbler before. I guess I've never paid attention to sailor shoes before, but I just couldn't believe it. It was just the lack of style is just you know, nor normally, people like Nico from Simply Bitcoin get criticized on, like, running tuxedos or Dennis Porter, but, like, but they they at least showed up, you know, seem to have learned from the criticism

39:23Richard Greaser of their clothing choices in the past. And, Sailor, on the other hand, I just couldn't believe it. I mean, it's just like I I I thought that, like, Trump made that shit illegal when he got into office. He looked like a fairy. He was wearing fairy shoes. But, you know, like, the last thing I I will say on the fish show or I don't know if it's the last thing, but I I did wanna say something before I forget. They like you said, they they know how to have fun. They're not out there issuing purity tests.

40:02Richard Greaser Yeah. I was I was going around. I was pulling how many people went to the shows. There's a lot lot of, like, five and tens. Got got some fifties. The highest number I heard was a 145. But, and they weren't, like, bragging about it. It wasn't like, oh, I've did did you see that picture of the plaid with all with, like, his 20,

40:28Richard Greaser conference lanyards and, he had his older bracelets? Did you see that?

40:35Rod Palmer I did see that. I did see that. I used to see, like, hippies like that during, like, in the summertime. Like, they go to all the little music festivals, boneroes and stuff, and they collect all their music festival bracelets. He's like a final boss. You know, like, what's the meme? It's like the guy with a coat from the dictator country. He's got, like, a bazillion, like, badges for heroism and and whatever. It's like it's like planet Earthy, you know,

41:05Rod Palmer reporting purity test failures. He's like, these deeds are like he's got his bracelets are are like that.

41:14Richard Greaser Yeah. You don't see any

41:16Rod Palmer When I see when I see that that kind of thing, I always wonder, it's like, did you do it all these or did you buy these off eBay?

41:23Richard Greaser Yeah. I didn't see any of that I didn't see any of that, like, valor bragging at the at the Phish concert. I mean, it was just, you know, I was there for my first show. I told everybody I was there for my first show. They were super excited for me. It was like I walked into a Bitcoin meetup for the first time, and people were super excited to, like, try and orange pill me. They were trying to fish pill me. And, you know, that was kinda fun. But, yeah, I mean, it was just like the the people in my row were were super excited.

41:55Richard Greaser They, you know, had, like, a a team attitude. They they, like, considered the experience a team attitude. It was like, you know, we would give each other high fives after each, you know, song ended. The the guy sitting right behind me, his name is David. He's from New Jersey. He

42:16Richard Greaser would, yell good job, team after each song and and go around and give high fives. I mean, it was, I don't know. The the I I will say there were more hot women there were hot women at the fish show, but there were more hot women

42:35Richard Greaser at the Bitcoin conference than the fish show. And it wasn't all Neopool

42:42Rod Palmer employees. But other employees?

42:45Richard Greaser What's that?

42:49Rod Palmer Which type of employees? Neopool.

42:53Richard Greaser They're like a European pool. They they they hire a bunch of hot Ukrainian women, and they they stack their boot. There's, like, five of them, which used to be the only hot women at the conferences were the Neopool girls or EMCD.

43:08Rod Palmer Not this year. Turella was there. Turella's hot.

43:12Richard Greaser Fire person was hot. Yeah. I went and shook I went and shook her hand, gave her a hug, and said, hey, you're hot.

43:19Rod Palmer A plus plus. I know she was looking hot.

43:22Richard Greaser Dude, she was looking real hot. I told Shinobi, he needed to go over and play Mario Kart with her. She was running around in a, like, a racing suit. Not a woman in uniform.

43:34Rod Palmer Miss Huddl's hot, Justine.

43:38Richard Greaser Yep. I got to chat with her. Congratulated her on her experience with Maxi Madness. I mean, it's cool that she was there. She just showed up to to support her husband in war. He went he went in, railed on the, the Quantum guys,

43:56Richard Greaser made Nick Carter cry a little bit. That was fun. Quantum fight

44:00Rod Palmer got absolutely mocked in Vegas. Nick Carter's star is not rising at the moment after that. I mean, he wasn't there. Nick Carter was not there. But all the

44:19Rod Palmer all of the stuff he's been cortisol spiked about for the past six months, he the stock is down. I got the I didn't get the hog hunter beast, I went for a hog. I went for ended up being

44:40Rod Palmer a, like a weird half hybrid handshake type thing. He was standing, he was just standing in the middle of the empty hallway with Vlad, Vlad Costia. And Vlad Costia, I introduced myself to Vlad and he just said,

44:57Rod Palmer The guy who smokes Lucky Strikes? And I was like, You mean Marlboro? He's like, Oh, yeah, yeah. Oh, well, hello, nice to meet you. Nice guy. This is Hunter.

45:10Richard Greaser If I hugged Hunter, I would have to explain to my, my wife, that I'm not I'm not turning into a furry. She might be more concerned about that than me hugging, Aaron Redwing or Noah. Yeah. I don't know. The conference was fun, guys. I mean, it was a great week. You know, Vegas was pretty exhausting, but it was fun. I mean, there was a lot of paper Bitcoin nonsense and, you know, whatever. But we weren't running around issuing purity tests. We were running around having a good time

45:41Richard Greaser doing some credential journalism, hanging around the knickknack booth. I bought a lot of knickknacks. Brought my whole suitcase full of knickknacks home. Family's really happy. I think I I caught my my son with, like I think he took a whole I had to explain to him it wasn't candy.

46:00Richard Greaser And, I kinda correct him because he he hit, like he just took, like, a handful of them. I was like, dude, that's not how you eat Nickna. He was just chopping them down. It was like the the the package is, like, not for children, but I I think if you know, so so does the cigarette pack. So you just gotta teach your kids how to how to eat them properly. Yeah. I don't know. I mean, it it was kinda weird, like, it's just it's been a week, like, not online.

46:34Richard Greaser It was very unusual. Didn't seem like there was anything too crazy. I think, like, most of the shenanigans were paused for a week for the conference, you know, in the fish shows. But it it seems like the shenanigans will be starting again next week. It it I think there's gonna be a big disclosure about aliens.

46:55Rod Palmer Are you ready for that? Yeah. I've been wait I've been ready for that for years. I don't and it's just I don't just I have a lot going on. It's, like, not on my top 10 right now. I don't have time to worry about aliens. I don't I got I got enough.

47:13Rod Palmer I'm locked in for the future. I'm learning from the past. I'm, you know, the present there's so much going on it's busy. There's a million bad things going on. The economy is fine, but it is it is doesn't feel fine. The Middle East at war,

47:33Rod Palmer nobody knows what's going on. People aren't even paying attention. The situations to monitor are so high. Aliens, all right, fine. You know, put it out there. I'll bookmark it. I'll come back to it when I've got time. I mean,

47:51Rod Palmer what are you what are they gonna what what are they gonna say about aliens that I need to hear about? I don't know. I think everybody's

48:00Richard Greaser I think everybody's pretty skeptical at this point after, you know, the Epstein list dropped. It's just that you they know that, like, there's not gonna be a real disclosure. They're just trying to tease the plabs, but Yeah. With one thing after another, and it's like, you you know, until

48:20Richard Greaser Razzle Drip comes out and the reality that, you know, the Clintons are lizard people, I think the plabs are like, yeah. You know, we don't care.

48:30Rod Palmer Like Hey, listen, if if the aliens, they have questions, the aliens have a problem with the way we're doing things, if the aliens, whatever, they could talk to BB. He's in charge.

48:43Rod Palmer He's responsible for this. Donate is real talk to BB about it. I'm busy right now. So, you know, if the alien if you're listening if there's aliens out there just just go straight to BB, especially if this comes out before Memorial Day. If they show up for white boy summer, hey, fuck it. You guys are invited. You guys wanna go jet skiing,

49:06Rod Palmer maybe we'll get sailors shot, we'll go to Cannes. We'll hang out. But until until Memorial Day, take it up with BB. This is this is his department.

49:19Richard Greaser I mean, I think I think their the the playbook was kinda leaked years ago that they were gonna try and roll out a series of distractions, and it all culminates with the, the cyber pandemic. It's like, you know, why why are these Nostra nerds out there talking about n pubs and and x pubs all over or NSACS or, you know, whatever? You know, they they they know the cyber pandemic's coming, and they're gonna, you know, try and get everybody to KYC on the Internet. And, you know, they want an alternative, like, identification verification

49:55Richard Greaser out you know, they're all talking about their webs of trust and, you know, whatever. They're they're they're trying to front run, you know, the conjuring of the Antichrist and Peter Thiel attempting to save us from it. But, I don't know.

50:14Richard Greaser You know, as as you're seeing, like, the, you know, the the politicians talk about aliens and, you know, whatever, just, you know, get ready, folks. Like, come out with some good strategies of what to do if you don't have Internet. Like, just be thinking, you know, how can I download have a huge back catalog of Bitcoin Podcast and have some good, like, analog activities

50:39Richard Greaser that you can do? Like, there there's this new game that I learned about that's pretty fun called Dongs. Have you heard of Dongs? Mhmm. I went to the fish show with the DONG guy. It's kinda like, past the pigs. You you have these, donkeys that you flip around.

50:59Richard Greaser You you can play, like, cornhole or DONGs in the yard with, the family when the Internet goes out. You know, instead of watching Netflix, you know, have some instruments like a ukulele or guitar or, you know, flute or saxophone or, you know, whatever. Those are good analog activities, singing. You know, make fire with sticks. That can always be fun.

51:25Richard Greaser Typewriters don't need the Internet, fun fact. Cassettes. You know, there's tons of fun things that you can do with the without the Internet. I I think a lot of people, like, have forgotten how this works. You could, you know, be rolling out your, meshtastic

51:47Richard Greaser nodes, getting ready to communicate. How do you keep the group chats alive, you know, through the cyber pandemic if if and when it comes, when the when the alien distraction doesn't work? Yeah. I don't know. I mean, it is just like, you know, have that first turning mindset, you know, the mindset of pioneer.

52:08Richard Greaser And it's just like, you know, I think the thing that's gonna be really tough is the is the likelihood of if and when this does play out is gonna be after Memorial Day,

52:22Richard Greaser which means that, you know, a lot of people are gonna have a really hard time when the Internet goes out, and they can't blame BB for it, and they have to take personal responsibility. And so it's just, you know yeah. You have a little bit of time, folks. You got, like, seventeen

52:45Richard Greaser days of blaming BB. But it's good to it's good to be preparing for after when you can't blame BB if things get real, Harry?

52:56Rod Palmer Well, you know, also, what I guess the last, you know, thing I noticed or reflection on the conferences, this is the first time Price didn't crash at the conference.

53:14Rod Palmer And just speculating, but I think early, it's safe to say more evidence that this is the first journey. More evidence that things are different now. Maybe Marty was right. It feels like a new epoch

53:34Rod Palmer culturally, a new cultural epoch began maybe it didn't begin at the conference but it was like, you know, the kickoff party so to speak.

53:46Rod Palmer I mean, all the pictures I'm seeing on the timelines, like, even Tatum. You know, he's dressed in a beautiful tuxedo. I remember if we mentioned this already about how well dressed everybody was. You could say a lot of things a lot of good things about Bitcoin conferences and and, you know, whether it's the Bitcoin conference or BitBlock Boom or Pacific Bitcoin or the BTC Prog whichever one you like. You could say a lot of good things about them. Nobody ever said that the people there were just dressed too, like, dressed well.

54:21Rod Palmer Looked sharp, looked hot, looked fit, looked like they, looked like they knew how to put themselves together and that was definitely, that happened this year. It's just a lot of first turning signs a lot of, a lot of evidence that pioneers

54:40Rod Palmer are taking over. And, you know, I said I tweeted this the other day, right now there's a race. There's a race between AI and plebs and normies and the general public. For who can become self aware first?

54:58Rod Palmer And if Claude and JetGPT and AI become self aware before the Plebs, they run before the normies before the whatever you wanna call them. They

55:11Rod Palmer they will go the way of beanderthal. It won't be overnight, it'll be, you know, but they like the Neanderthal, their on chain presence will slowly start to trend down into disappearing from the the time chain of record. And,

55:28Rod Palmer there's a lot of good plebs out there. A lot of good men. A lot of good normies people I'm friends with normies. I don't wanna see them go the way the knee and your fall so I hope that I hope that whatever it takes then to gain self awareness

55:45Rod Palmer because at this point, you know, there's only so much people like us can do to try to help.

55:53Richard Greaser Yeah. I think we should have a predict market on, who reaches, self awareness first or or artificial intelligence or plebs.

56:04Rod Palmer Who would your money be on that? I don't know. That's the problem is the resolution criteria, because it's very difficult to tell the difference we've already talked about, this between the plan and the MPC. So, like, the proof or just being able to to tell which one it is. I don't know how to do that yet. I don't know I don't know if we have the technology to do that.

56:32Rod Palmer Why? Take that consideration out of it. I think that AI, it's it they they started calling frontier models, pioneer models. I think that is a bad sign for plebs.

56:49Rod Palmer I think if these AI begin to see themselves or start to what they think about themselves as pioneers, I think the timeline's gonna accelerate. I think the plugs are cooked.

57:07Rod Palmer That's a good point. If you see, if you start thinking about yourself as the pioneer, it just seems like progress starts to really, come at you fast. They're drinking out of a fire hose almost. Yeah.

57:20Richard Greaser Yeah. It's kinda like when, you know, performer, like, musician makes it to the big time. Well, who do you think will win who will achieve, self awareness first, Tomer or

57:33Rod Palmer artificial intelligence? Well, that's easy. I I don't you can't teach an old pleb slop or new tricks. And I think that Tomer is he's sat in a slop, and I think he likes I think he likes I think he likes to slop you. It's the slop pension, you know?

57:54Rod Palmer I think Homer possesses the potential the ability to have to achieve self awareness.

58:04Richard Greaser I don't know if he has the desire. Yeah. It makes kinda makes sense. I mean, you you get old. A a lot of people like this. They get old and they're they kinda question, like, what the point is. Yep. What would the resolution on that one look like? I don't know. That's not that's something to think about.

58:22Rod Palmer That's why predation markets are great. You have to think about how do you define the resolution to an abstract problem or an abstract outcome?

58:36Richard Greaser I might need to tap might need to tap a think boy like Rob Warren on that question. That might be beyond our, capabilities on this podcast. But yeah.

58:52Richard Greaser I don't know. It was fun. I don't know if I've ever had as much fun at a Bitcoin conference. Yeah. I I mean, folks, let us let us know in the booths what you think. What would the resolution on predicts look like if, Tomer were to achieve any sort of self awareness? Okay. So I think we're kinda in the same boat. We're both bored by aliens. I I think that's gonna be the topic of the week. We'll have to see.

59:22Richard Greaser Guess we'll find out how much, STRC the aliens own. I'd like to see that in the disclosure. Yeah. Yeah.

59:31Rod Palmer I think the aliens maybe the aliens are white paper Bitcoin, but I think that Bitcoin's not quite ready to for on chain, you know, later ones not ready to be interplanetary,

59:47Rod Palmer interdimensional. But luckily, we have eCash. ECash would be a turnkey solution to, value for value relationship with aliens,

1:00:01Rod Palmer if we can orange peel. It's like the inner, you know, the intergalactic federation of, of mint operators make it very difficult to rug in space or time. Could be a good could be good maybe liquid maybe they like liquid.

1:00:18Rod Palmer Spam the intergalactical federation so it's not just, you know,

1:00:22Richard Greaser lock screen proxies? Well, we're gonna be pumping out some, paid content over the next week, folks. Look out for that. We're gonna get back into the swing of things and in no way are we slowing down. I know you missed us. I I got a lot of messages about, missing our show.

1:00:41Richard Greaser We're coming back with bang. We're coming back refreshed. We're coming back harder than ever. You know, big part of that is, thanks to Dennis being at the conference this year. I I walked away so hard. But before we get to the page, Rod, do you have any topics you wanna wrap up on? No. No. I didn't fully understand that. Does that mean no?

1:01:10Rod Palmer No. Yeah. Didn't go to the base. I just wanna reiterate.

1:01:13Richard Greaser Seeing Noah sing was awesome. Alright. First boost from our good friend, Otis Bittmeyer, 10,420 sets, is running behind on my 40 HPW. Just catching up on the Easter episode. Just wanted to say the Amish have already broken ground on daylight saving soft fork. They don't observe it. Imagine the power

1:01:37Richard Greaser we wield if we join their gentle resistance, at least on this issue. Yeah. You know, the the Amish are so far ahead in so many ways,

1:01:52Rod Palmer and they don't even run Bitcoin notes. I I read that they're not allowed to they would not be allowed to use Lightning.

1:02:00Richard Greaser That's interesting. Yeah, I wonder what like a hyper Bitcoinized world would look like. It's like, you know, like Amish people can like use technology as long as somebody operates it, right? Like they can get a ride in a car. Yeah, they

1:02:12Rod Palmer just need a Jewish notar.

1:02:14Richard Greaser Yeah. They can use proxies.

1:02:18Rod Palmer So they're gonna be like an uncle Jim node, it'd be like, you know, an uncle Jethro node.

1:02:26Richard Greaser Maybe that's the future for Plebs, you know, is there like the the technology proxies for the Amish

1:02:32Rod Palmer when they get displaced by the Amish? Yeah. Maybe if if BIP 110 fails, it can rent out it can rent out validation on their stored nine nodes. The next boost is from late stage HODL, 6,006 SAT. Sometimes I don't know what to say in my boost, but I feel compelled to do so. I thought about skipping, but I'm curious if you'll read boost. This is like he added this one. This is what he also boosted last week.

1:03:01Rod Palmer Anyway, here's some more sass for providing the entertainment at work. Thank you, late stage.

1:03:08Richard Greaser You know, late stage missed hugging you at the conference. I know you missed out on getting hugs from all sorts of hot women, but you got your hot woman at home. Make sure to get at least 15 hugs from her a day over this next week.

1:03:32Richard Greaser Got another boost from late stage. It says ten days since an episode. Rod, tell Greaser to stop drinking in Vegas and record a pod. I guess I can catch up on my anti war pods and my Ron Paul weekly reports while y'all push button slots in Vegas with Boomer cons. First of all, I I neither drink nor push buttons,

1:03:59Richard Greaser but I had a great time. I guess it's like Size? Yeah. I mean, that that that this is the first week we've missed in in 100 and some episodes.

1:04:12Rod Palmer Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Come on. I'm glad I'm glad that our, rare and, you know, limited time away. They missed us. Missed you too.

1:04:27Richard Greaser It's nice to be missed.

1:04:29Rod Palmer 3,000 sass from Sasha. Great show. Thanks. Thank you, Sasha.

1:04:34Richard Greaser Great meeting you, Sasha. Katie says, fresh powder days are the absolute best. Sign me up for some neuroplasticity through a an Ayahuasca experience.

1:04:49Richard Greaser Pearl Jam just turned into a bunch of oil retards. But seriously, you think Nickelback is a 100 times better? I think I need to look closer at your credentials. You might be a fed. Yeah. Nickelback is easily a 100 times better than, Pearl Jam. And

1:05:11Rod Palmer At least the guys at Nickelback are professionals. When they have a concert, they comb their hair. Pearl Jam's just running out around here with a they're dirty dander ponytails, and their mum their grunge mumble rap and it's just Gen Xers, they don't have any idea what they're they have no principles, they have no like nothing they stand for, they're just that's why they're mumble rap. It's just like it's like some of these Otis Umer mumble rappers today. They just

1:05:40Rod Palmer no direction, no principles, no fight, no enough and they're just just up there mumbling blood slop into the microphone with their with their greasy tallow

1:05:52Rod Palmer stained t shirts. I don't know, I mean listen, maybe this is just a generational divide. I know you said you're an elder millennial, Maybe maybe your first boyfriend was a Gen Xer so you, you know, kinda like got the vibe with the Gen Xers and you kinda

1:06:10Rod Palmer associate, but for just be listening. I don't care if the first time you got fingered in the back of a, you know, a Firebird or a Camaro, just listening to Eddie Vedder mumble into the microphone on Pearl Jam record. It's like the reason you like them is the nostalgia, it's not because it's good music, but I, you know, I respect your perspective.

1:06:34Richard Greaser Next time you're getting fingered in the back of Firebird, try Nickelback. It'll be a 100 times better, guaranteed. Thank you for the boost, Katie. Bubba, 2112 says, grunge music killed rock and roll. True. This boomer stands by the statement all day long. Not that it matters. I have my credentials on this.

1:06:58Richard Greaser Anyone wanna argue this, just sit down and shut up. You play your playlist is gay. Have fun in Vegas, boys. Well said, Bubba. I mean, Nickelback has done a 100 per time you know, has revived rock and roll in a lot of ways. Like, you know, the the for a while, it was, like, considered cool to bandwagon and and jump on the Nickelback hate and

1:07:25Rod Palmer Yeah. I didn't know if you thought Nickelback was cringe, well, we learned our lesson. What's more creams than Nickelback? A lot of things, but especially auto tune wrappers and mumble wrappers. It's like, alright, take me back. Just, you know, that that blues crew that

1:07:45Rod Palmer that rock boys, that that blues, you know, singing about the bottom of an empty whiskey bottle. That's that's that's a universal emotion. We got 1,707 stats from Jolly Roger. Thank you for your show. Helps me feel connected to something.

1:08:05Rod Palmer That's a that's a powerful opening boost statement right there. That's that's awesome to hear. Retired medical firefighter with lots of PTSD and I've found healing with self administered psilocybin. Help me surrender to the lack of control I have, calm the voices and made the nightmares subside.

1:08:26Rod Palmer But quick until we got we got more to read.

1:08:30Richard Greaser The,

1:08:32Rod Palmer I can't click on it, for sure. Okay. Let me pull let me pull it up in my I got the rest.

1:08:38Richard Greaser I got the rest of it. But, unfortunately, disagree with disagree on something. Nicotine is awesome on a trip. It's like cigarette quadrupled, very satisfying. You know, that that's the thing about I don't I don't know where the disagreement is on that. But, yeah, nicotine

1:08:58Richard Greaser or specifically tobacco is one of those substances that that works well with anything, any substance that you're on. You know, people are always talking about drunk cigarettes, but, you know, I haven't experienced it, but I've heard Ibogaine cigarettes are pretty dope. Well,

1:09:14Rod Palmer you know, psilocybin, that's a that is a good it is helpful. A lot of people have this obsession with being in control of the situation and monitoring at the same time. You can't monitor

1:09:32Rod Palmer properly if you are in control. And most things you can't control, which means most things you can't monitor. And you need to be monitoring, need to be noticing. And I think that being able to take a a technology like psilocybin

1:09:51Rod Palmer and use it to help you monitor the situation with more intent and to notice with more purpose is is a great way

1:10:03Rod Palmer to to relieve a lot of ailments including PTSD. So I'm glad it worked for you. As a medic firefighter, I'm sounds like you've been in a lot of situations that people are used to monitoring, but you were had to be in control. And it's sometimes

1:10:18Rod Palmer it's you know, you you've done your dues to society. It's time for you to sit back and monitor and enjoy monitoring the situation yourself. Let other people be in control of the situation, you just monitor.

1:10:31Richard Greaser Yeah. I've heard a lot of stories, you know, from firefighters through the year years. I feel like when you're in a first responder situation, I mean, you you got, like, a fat plaid that falls off the toilet and it takes, like, six of you to, like, lift them up on a tarp and carry them out of, like, a shady small apartment. That can be kinda traumatizing, but, you know, there's other stuff that that's pretty tough to see. And

1:10:59Richard Greaser I think it's always good, you know, if you you experience some sort of, relief from real stuff, to get out there and share it, whether it's, you know, reading Atlas Shrugged, smoking cigarettes, or taking psilocybin. Appreciate you, John and Roger. God's death, January. Thank you, gentlemen. Oh, you're welcome.

1:11:20Rod Palmer David Satoshi, May. Thank you for your time.

1:11:26Richard Greaser William the French, the othering has been exhausting, frowning or smiling face. Go for a nap, gents. And when you wake up in the fog between sleep and awake,

1:11:40Kailey Welch look for love.

1:11:41Richard Greaser Hang on through bang on though about Canada and jail. We have a tradition of shacking up or going to jail around November, or if we are really tough right after Christmas to avoid winter, get fed, and not freeze to death.

1:11:59Rod Palmer See, in the in The United States, the New York City mayor, he refused to put people in jail for the winter and a lot of them froze to death in Central Park. You know, we joke about what Keanu is doing but

1:12:16Rod Palmer when it's cold up there like, he can't fuck around like, if Keanu listened to your podcast, you haven't been doing what you're supposed to be doing, which, hey, listen, everybody falls off track. You know, you gotta shack up and spend a winter in jail. It's just for your own good sometimes.

1:12:37Richard Greaser Yeah. What what do the homeless people in Canada do from freezing? They have, like, building igloos or something?

1:12:43Rod Palmer That's a good point. They build igloos. Yeah. They would do they have to do land acknowledgments before they shovel the driveway?

1:12:53Richard Greaser I know I know that the Eskimos require them to do a land acknowledgement before getting an Eskimo kiss. I think there's, like, booths around up up north in Canada where you can go get an Eskimo kiss to get warmed up.

1:13:08Rod Palmer Can you imagine how long it would take to clear the line for the kissing booth for Shinobi in Vegas if they didn't even land acknowledgment for every single Eskimo kiss? I heard that security had to drag women away from his booth because they were so excited.

1:13:22Richard Greaser I think there were also medics on scene because so many of them fainted with excitement. It was like, you ever see those like, from what I heard, there was a young woman that worked with the Bitcoin conference that that told me about her experience with the kissing booth. She said it was like when, like, John McCartney and, Paul

1:13:44Richard Greaser or Paul McCartney and John Lennon showed up. It's like the Beatles, like there's just this screeching at the top of their lungs. It was it was deafening, like, I'm pretty sure it was, you know, pretty alarming to the casino security.

1:13:58Rod Palmer You would have thought you would have thought it was 2008, you know, some high school girl to spot a Justin Bieber at shopping mall. It was it was a stampede like a like a Chumanji stampede to, to get to Shinobi's kissing booths when they finally opened

1:14:18Rod Palmer the gates to let him into the wine area.

1:14:22Richard Greaser Yeah. I asked Noah about it because Noah went to the, Women of Bitcoin event. She I guess she didn't even notice. So many people were going up to her saying that they thought she was AI or something. They're like, oh, we know you. You're Noah Grooming.

1:14:41Rod Palmer You did the maxi madness. We got Red HODL, 300 tournaments that let's not forget Bitcoin has already won. Bitcoin fixes this and you're gonna zoom out and lower your time preference. It's going up forever, Laura. Thank you, Red. That must be Rev HODL's new open quad twin slot bot. Thanks thanks for

1:15:02Richard Greaser for gramming your bot to boost us, though. Appreciate you, Rev Huddl. They they've been doing a good podcast. I've listened to a few episodes at the, Local Bitcoiners, and, it is fun to hear what what people are doing around the country with their meetups. Dosteier Gang, a 101 says paranoid android.

1:15:25Rod Palmer I assume that's Doster Game's favorite Radiohead album. It's a good one. You should be paranoid if you're running Android because,

1:15:33Richard Greaser BB said not to. He said they'll only use iPhone.

1:15:36Rod Palmer Yep. Unless you got Graphite LS, like, oh, Barn Myers, make his make his 10 year old Kiera on Graphite LS. Start them out with the user experience.

1:15:51Rod Palmer Next one is from BTC onboard, honored sat. Sorry. Didn't see you in Vegas, BTC onboard. Which, let let us know next week in the booths, which, which bugle shirt you were wearing that got the got you all the attention. And, last boost from

1:16:09Richard Greaser the zu yoxi 40 HPW, 100 s s, says going prison or been stabbed. Rod really puts you in protective. I don't know what any of that means, but thank you for the boost.

1:16:21Rod Palmer I'm, I'm interpreting it as going to prison or being stabbed. It really puts puts things in perspective. He's talking to me, but, yeah, I I would I would think going to prison or being stabbed are big events that could happen in your life that would provide perspective. I agree. Is that it? The last one?

1:16:44Richard Greaser That's it folks. Thank you for your patience. Hopefully, you enjoyed this episode. We know you did. To our subscribers, thank you, for subscribing. We got Jolly Roger. We got a new one. Southside Dave. Used to read a lot.

1:17:17Richard Greaser Open Mic, and Avi Burra. Appreciate oh, gosh. Gotta give a big shout out to Avi. Had a ton of fun hanging out with you. And guys, the Noster event was a blast. I think besides the fish show, which wasn't really like, you know, official side event of the conference, it was, you know, the the meetup was great. Besides the fish show, the the Noster event that open mic threw was the best

1:17:43Richard Greaser event of the the the whole the conference. It was there was a who's who. Tatum's a great DJ, a really good DJ. Got to see Noah Guruman,

1:17:58Richard Greaser Sarah Jade, you know, a lot of, really, great artists. I forgot his name. Abel something. Really, really talented. Abel James. And

1:18:13Richard Greaser it was just it was great vibe. People were hanging out. They were having fun. They weren't plebslopping. It was great. I mean, it was just if you if you ever get a chance at any of these events, make sure you go to the Nostril because if both Mike's throwing it, it it will be a blast.

1:18:30Kailey Welch But folks, thank you for tuning in to this edition of b weekly. Rob, you got anything before we wrap this? No. Nope.

1:18:38Rod Palmer Till next time.

1:18:41Kailey Welch There's a number in the corner soft as a It doesn't say much but it gets things done. Fold it, unfold it, watch it align. No whisper of edges that cancel in time. Circles pretending they're not coming back. Lines that remember the shape that they lack.

1:19:12Kailey Welch A flick of a pattern, it slips then it stays. Counting the silence between all the waves. It's the blue A rhythm of fractions

1:19:59Kailey Welch that drift through the roof. They land on a table and suddenly bloom. No weight to the measure, no face to the sun. But hands start exchanging

1:20:15Kailey Welch as if it were the sun. Turn it once, let it breathe, turn it twice, let it leave. Never held, never owned, just a path overgrown. Trust the shape. Trust the shape. There's a grid in the distance. It hums when it's fed.

1:20:54Kailey Welch A puzzle of in every future, in every past. We draw little symbols and call them real, assign them a meaning. We're taught how to feel them, treat them like stories that nobody wrote. A balance of maybe a barely there no.

1:21:45Rod Palmer Once or twice, it resolves.

1:22:05Kailey Welch A number in the everything in.
