1:07Rod Palmer of the Bugle.

1:09Richard Greaser Folks, we are recording this. Minutes away from the start of the spectacle, the biggest spectacle for the playoffs. It is the day of the Super Bowl. It is Super Bowl Sunday twenty twenty six. No idea what's gonna happen. There's a lot of controversy

1:28Richard Greaser rolling into it. So as you listen to this, you're probably gonna be, witnessing the aftermath. There's so many ways that could this could go. You know, I think some easy predictions for this. Plutator's gonna be mad about the commercials. Coinbase is probably gonna sponsor it. Those damn shit coin are sponsoring the spectacle. There's gonna be the Epstein client list, running around, you know, parading themselves, Jack Dorsey, you know, wearing an Epstein shirt instead of a jack or, instead of a Satoshi shirt this year, hanging out with Jay z again. I don't know what's gonna happen. I mean, we we could see,

2:06Richard Greaser you know, there's been predictions that Trump's gonna start bombing Iran as his way to, outdo the the halftime show. You know, there there could be protests. There, you know, the pliers might be mad and getting in fist fights, you know, as they're booing,

2:25Richard Greaser bad bonding or whatever. No idea what's gonna happen, but this is the biggest spectacle in the Fiat world for the Fiat plaabs in the way that the, the Bitcoin magazine conference is the, the PodCon Super Bowl for for Bitcoin people. But, yeah, I don't know. I mean, it's been an interesting week. What you got going on, Rod?

2:49Rod Palmer Think about think about what's happening. We we we got we got rid of all of our illusions that the the four cycle four year cycle theory, is it back? Is it broken? It's back. The bull market is officially with the off season for Bitcoin. Bitcoin podcasters, just Bitcoin on Twitter. They they've been a time tuned it down in the algorithm.

3:13Rod Palmer The Bitcoin off season is is begun. We got, you know, all all the stuff in the ice shootings. All that stuff is, been wrapped up. There's you know, nothing's changing. The,

3:29Rod Palmer the how outraged, the fucking situation everybody's monitoring, it did not lead to, like, we didn't get any big time arrests. Tim Walz didn't get, arrested. The the ice didn't leave. It's it's gonna drag on. So nobody cares about that anymore. And we the one thing we've got in our lives, at least most, amid the normies, the NPCs, your brother-in-law,

3:52Rod Palmer you know, the guy who asked, did you see the the game last night? The last distraction they've got that they've been holding on too tight, is football. They love sports ball. They love draft teams. They love gambling on who's gonna wait, you know, throw a touchdown in their fantasy football league. It's college football. Another time it's over. It's winter time. Things are boring. There's no distractions

4:19Rod Palmer anymore from all those the signs that we're passing through and ending the fourth turn. And so that we're all seeing in today, it's like the, you know, the the plug slot spectacle. It's gonna be AI companies, AI slop. It's gonna be, you know, that you see that that video that or of yellow M and M clapping sheets being all sexy, AI slops like that. Dude, they're gonna be thrown in your face.

4:47Rod Palmer It's gonna be, you know, a gay Latino woke guy in a dress wearing fuck ice saying, no, but he's illegal on stolen land just to get all the boomers right. Get your dad at the Super Bowl party walking out of the room, throwing his, you know, throwing them remote control to TV, ruining the rest of the game. You got all the all the commercials that are gonna be, oh, hey, you should still be patriotic even if your president's a retard or saying that we need more compassion. You got, like, gay Olympic lesbian athletes and gay hachi players morally lecturing you about, you know, everybody's gonna be watching the area will be together and they're gonna be pissed off. And everybody's been trying not to talk politics for three season

5:31Rod Palmer and their freaking uncle Gary, the fucking ordinary pleb, they're, it's, it's in a spark. It's in a spark. It's gonna be a powder keg and people are gonna be arguing politics. And that's what they want you to do. That's why they put that bonnie in a dress. Unless you can convince everybody at the party to go on YouTube to watch TP USA and Erica Kirk shooting fireworks out of her pussy and fucking kid boxing and ball with a ball. You know what I mean? Like, it's this is what we're stuck with tonight is gonna be a crazy night, and that could be

6:05Rod Palmer when Trump launches the war in Iran. Soon as the fireworks go off after the MVP is awarded, boom. The b two bombers drop in, you know, it's frame frame mogging Iran, frame mogging the Olympics as the,

6:22Rod Palmer you know, alpha of the ratings and the slop. Where's the slop advertising going after this?

6:28Richard Greaser Yeah. I think they because you're trying to get the plugs as angry as possible. We were discussing before recording that this is, like, the last of the distractions for a while. And, you know, we're we're getting to the point. I I think we've gotten through the worst of winter. I could be wrong on that, but I think it's only, you know, getting warmer from here. Like, we're we're entering quickly into, might be a couple storms, but we're very close to the thaw.

6:60Richard Greaser And as the things start to thaw, you're gonna see the plums fighting each other in the streets more and more. And, individuals are are using the the information being

7:16Richard Greaser released in the Epstein files to their political advantage however they can. They're they're all scrambling, you know, to to use the revelations against their political opponents right now to wield it. And it this this feels like the calm before the storm. It's the the the the PubSlob Super Bowl is gonna lead to

7:42Richard Greaser full on PubSlob warfare.

7:47Rod Palmer Yeah. I mean, this is gonna be the last year's paper Bitcoin summer this year is gonna be the summer of plebs on plebs violence. Plebs are gonna be getting any early stages at Bitcoin conferences,

8:05Rod Palmer Bitcoin meetups. People are gonna show up and try to frame log and rep the, signal for bit one ten, and people at their meet up, you know, agree with them, they might throw them out. The conference might throw them out. People might get sick of the debates and throw out one side or the other, but the plants are gonna be at each other's throats. And they're fighting over the feature of Bitcoin.

8:30Richard Greaser It's gonna be an interesting fight.

8:33Rod Palmer But there's no you're right. There's no more distractions. So there's no more distractions from the Epstein files. It's all over the Christmas holiday season is over. The Clarity Act that they're dragging out, he didn't end the war with writing. There's all the all the shows, all the all the announcements, they've fallen flat, and and people are starting to see through it. They see, like, this is a distraction from Epstein. So now we're talking about Epstein and especially after tomorrow, unless there's a war in Iran. But people are still podcasters are still talking about the Epstein files. Do

9:11Rod Palmer you versus, do you is there gonna be any is there gonna be any forthcoming announcements of any material value of any moral, signal,

9:23Rod Palmer about the Epstein files, or is this just gonna be more Epstein slop?

9:29Richard Greaser I think it's gonna be a lot of slop. I mean, it's, we we we've talked a lot about this on the show, but, you know, the we're just at this interesting point where TikTok got taken over by the Epstein list. And, you know, they've been limiting the information being spread on there about Epstein. So the broccoli

9:52Richard Greaser herd Zoomers are scrambling trying to figure out what to do about that because they wanna rage post about the stuff. And, Yeah. I mean, I I I think where we're at

10:08Richard Greaser is they're gonna try and use the Epstein files as a distraction from the Epstein files. Like, they they're just flooding the system. They're talking about Satoshi being Epstein. They're they're they're spewing all this slop to get you tied up arguing about nonsense. And, it's big giant demoralization mechanism to make the playoffs just feel as

10:37Richard Greaser awful as possible. And, you know, they're gonna take advantage of the awful feeling plums and be like, you need to take those feelings and direct your anger at this person or in this direction. You need to march with your whistles and go attack these guys. And and like playoffs, they're just gonna be bouncing around. They're just cannon fodder, you know, bouncing around like pinballs wherever they're directed. And it's, it's gonna

11:06Richard Greaser be chaotic to say at least.

11:10Rod Palmer Yeah. It's I mean, it's last year, we thought we we thought we were getting the strategic Bitcoin reserve, million dollar Bitcoin, paper Bitcoin summer. Everything was going well. Ross was out of jail, and we had defeated the woke. But we defeated the woke only for for what? For for people to be saying that

11:35Rod Palmer Satoshi went to Epsilon Island for people to be bringing back environmental they couldn't find for people to be creating have an woke sleeper bull halftime. That's all we want. And it's,

11:52Rod Palmer you know, winning's not winning doesn't feel fun. So this is, you know, this is Gloria's fault. This is Shinobi's fault. We have to we have to fix core, apparently. The it's it's a it's a valiant against nothing can distract them from their their anger at core. It's core derangement.

12:12Richard Greaser Yeah. Yeah. We did it it seems like, you know, the the goal right now of the people rule in the world is to instill some form of derangement syndrome in the entire population. And every everybody's got their different flavor of derangement syndrome,

12:31Richard Greaser but everybody seems to be developing it in one way or another, universally.

12:38Rod Palmer And it doesn't mean that they're wrong. Right? Like, there's no no Trump syndrome is deranged, you know, in a stolen democracy. And maybe maybe maybe everybody has to realize that

12:56Rod Palmer the thing they're deranged about has to be fixed, but on it's only gonna work if we fix if we help fix everybody else's their deranged, and we solve their deranged problems first. We have to work together and prioritize it.

13:13Rod Palmer And, yes, Trump is he should not be and he's a bad he's a bad politician. He's retarded. He's racist. Whatever they say, it's like, I can't argue against it. Like, you can't tell me he's not funny. You can't tell me he's not the first president. But, you know, he's not a moral person. He's he's in the absentee files along with all everybody else. And but, you know,

13:37Rod Palmer it doesn't mean that's the first problem we have to solve. So, like, how do we start thinking about being respectful of other people's derangement syndromes and working together to agree which derangement syndromes overlap so we can start focusing on macrodrangement syndromes instead of worrying about our individual micro derangement syndromes.

13:59Richard Greaser Yeah. I like this idea of being tolerant of other people's derangement syndromes. It's instead of people listing their preferred pronouns and their their bios, then you start referring to their, preferred derangement syndromes. And, that way, you know how to tall be tolerate or sorry, how to how to be inclusive to other people and not to, you know, trigger them, you know, because it's like it's almost like you go to a party, everybody needs to write their preferred derangement syndrome on name tags

14:29Richard Greaser to prevent civil war from happening. So, like, you know, you're you're talking to the party. You you see their name and then their preferred derangement syndrome, and then you could just start feeding into it. Then all of a sudden, you you know, you guys have something to talk about, versus, you know, trying to come up with conversation topics about, you know, interesting things. You can just

14:52Richard Greaser have each other feed each other the preferred slop.

14:57Rod Palmer Yeah. You work on, work on dating sites. Like, hey. My name is, you know, my name is Rod Palmer, and I have Trump derangement syndrome, or my name is Rod Palmer and I have CORE derangement syndrome, or I have NOSI derangement syndrome, or I have,

15:16Rod Palmer there's a lot of different derangement. Some of them are really weird. Like some people crash out about Lin Alden being hot. They're they have Lin Alden is hot derangement syndrome. And it it it's it's very people need to understand it while It's okay to crash out.

15:36Rod Palmer Everybody, they're crashing out, it's not the end of the world. Crashing out, like there is life after you crash out. You, it is not a death sentence to crash out. But every time you crash out, you especially the more publicly you do it, people you're you're giving people information about

15:55Rod Palmer topics or things that get you very riled up emotionally in ways that you can't control yourself and you make impulsive, self destructive decisions or just, you know,

16:10Rod Palmer bad or worse decisions than usual. You wanna keep your you you wanna keep your derangement syndrome personal. It's like a it's a personal thing, and you wanna you you you don't want people to know it. So it's it's it's almost like instead of having derangement syndrome pride, some people believe that, you have derangement syndrome is between you

16:33Rod Palmer and God or, you know, they don't care about what derangement syndrome adults have in the privacy of their bedroom. Maybe it's maybe it's more of a keep it private or at least, you know, signal, hey. Please excuse my condition. I have a deranging syndrome.

16:53Richard Greaser I don't think the pioneers are walking around with derangement syndromes. So I think it's gonna be very difficult for the pioneers to, wanna interact with the with the average population because it's just gonna be so exhausting. It's like,

17:10Rod Palmer I mean, I I And you don't you don't you don't have to let your derangement syndrome define you. You don't have to let your crash outs and your derangement syndromes define your life. You can start a podcast. You can vibe code the future.

17:28Rod Palmer Your life can truly begin after a crowd shout, if you do it right.

17:33Richard Greaser Well, I do think in some ways, podcasting could be a way to counteract derangement syndromes because, you know, this has been a thing for a long time. You know? Like, people like Joe Rogan were always talking about how revolutionary podcasting is is like a vehicle to to get to know somebody because you

17:53Richard Greaser you listen to individuals over, you know, period of hours versus, like, how media used to operate where you just got quick, sound bites from them, you know, being interviewed by a news anchor or whatever.

18:09Richard Greaser You got to know a lot about them. You you got to see how they conversed, their facial expressions, stuff like that. Podcasting is not a good medium for people with derangement syndrome to be on. You know? Because, like, just an extended two hour crash out

18:29Richard Greaser is we saw this with sailor. We saw sailors crash out and just how brutal it was to listen to. It's it's not a great medium for people operating with some sort of, derangement syndrome. It's, I guess, it's a good medium, you know, for individuals that are

18:50Richard Greaser aware a little bit more self aware and in control to try and, you know, manipulate people to form some sort of derangement syndrome because we see that a lot. But, I think, you know, it's it's it's awesome. One of one of the things I love to see is I love to see people

19:11Richard Greaser that have a form of derangement syndrome go on a podcast and talk to somebody that doesn't. And, just they they they crash out. And so everybody can see it. Everybody can see that behind the derangement syndrome is to it it's not a lot of thoughts, just a lot of emotion. And, but yeah. I mean, I think I think the pioneers in many ways are insulated from it, you know, and it's this is, like, one of the challenges, you know, over the la the next year that

19:45Richard Greaser many of us are gonna, you know, grapple with is just, you know, where do we go to feel at home, to not feel like we're going crazy as everybody is running around like chickens with their heads cut off. And, you know, the cigarette smoker has been dealing with this for a long time. And, we all know that the the smoking pit is the,

20:09Richard Greaser the place of safety in a lot of lot of ways, but we have to expand the smoking pit significantly.

20:17Rod Palmer Is it is it is it is it is an Oscar Connell like the digital smoking pit for people who maybe they're about to crash out and they need to go get some perspective or they need to go crash out where the user experience is pretty bad. So by the time they figure out how to post their crash out,

20:37Rod Palmer they've had some time to reflect and they have, like, you know, time to post a more constructive crash out. Try to find the positive in their crash out. People can get out there, and and it'll take a while for anybody to see their content, and they probably won't get a whole lot of interaction. So, you know, it's like you can have it out there in the void. You can you can crash it out to the void. And at the end of the day, you could still, you know, ask for permission to have your crash out deleted.

21:13Rod Palmer It it maybe nobody will see it, like, in it, but it solves it. It it it lets you go through the ritual of crashing out. Like, before you crash out on the on the Twitter timeline or on TikTok. Go to, like, a rehab on the Oscar.

21:28Richard Greaser Yeah. I don't know. I I recently learned of a nostril alternative, that John Carvalho is doing. I learned about it today. I'd never heard of it before. Called Pubkey. Have you heard of it? It's like a blue it it's like big like, if Nostr is the alternative to Twitter, John Carvallo's PubKey is the alternative to, Blue Sky is what I was told.

21:52Rod Palmer Yeah. I think it's I like it. I like the concept because it is named, you know, it's named after the bar in New York City, in Washington, DC. So that's it. It's, it's, you know, it's kinda stealing valor a little bit there to, like, hijack the the people like, oh, you've heard of, you've heard of my my new venture, PUBGIO. Yeah. Okay. I like that. Cool. Yeah.

22:16Rod Palmer And it feels good, but it's it's also it's kind of a back back to, tradition or, like, kinda, like, back to our forefathers. It's where did where did your father and your grandfather go to crash out in his day? He went to the bar. He went to the bar, and he had a he got drunk, and he smoked cigarettes, and he hung out. And, you know, if you're gonna crash out, go to go to PubKey.

22:41Rod Palmer Go to PubKey. Have a few beers. Hang out. Smell some cigarettes. It's it's that's great. It's for it's for it's for guys to get on and crash out after work. Happy hour crash outs. You're saying the social media app is or the, the bar is the place to crash out? Well, it's both. Right? Like, that's the it's that's the the image that you're evoking. Right? It's like, if you can't go to the Pub Key, in your city because you don't live nearby, You can go on PubTV app and you can crash out. You know, in Oscar, you go say good morning on PubKey, you go crash out. Maybe that's it.

23:17Richard Greaser Yeah. I think Blue Sky is essentially the the social media app that people go to crash out on about what people are saying on what Trump's saying on either true social or what people are saying on Twitter. Right?

23:32Rod Palmer Oh, that's alright.

23:37Rod Palmer Are you are you excited? Do you think it'll be a Nostril commercial? Super Bowl commercial? Hey, Jack. I'll be up there like, hey. She used this new app that I made called Nostril. It's decentralized. It's peer to peer. It's it's it's great. It's like if you're sick of if you're sick of all the slah on Twitter, you come to Nostr. Like, obviously, I I I don't know.

24:01Rod Palmer I know in Nostr. I don't think it they're They're they're Super Bowl ads. They're gonna be too creative, but maybe they'll surprise us.

24:08Richard Greaser Yeah. I don't know. It'll be interesting. I I doubt there'll be an Oscar, commercial, but but, you know, that'd be pretty awesome if there was. I I'm wondering if there's gonna be a paper Bitcoin commercial.

24:23Rod Palmer Well, which paper Bitcoin company do you think would have the best or best Super Bowl commercial? BlackRock, CoinBase?

24:35Richard Greaser Probably iPET. They they have been in commercials in the past. Right?

24:41Rod Palmer Yeah. They have. MicroStrategy commercial, perhaps.

24:46Richard Greaser I had I had launched a little bit of, investor call with micro strategy, and they brought Larry Lapard on to just dispute Pub Slop. It was incredible.

24:58Rod Palmer Oh, well, Larry Larry was probably a little Larry's probably a little bit grumpy about, the blow off top and gold. And if you didn't see, you know, he's probably a little bit grumpy about that. Like, having a big crash and then day coins having having the huge drawdown.

25:17Rod Palmer And he's he's an ordinary guy as it is. He's an ordinary guy in the bull market.

25:22Richard Greaser He he hit all the greatest hits in, like, a two minute

25:29Rod Palmer model. Which which ones did he hit? Which ones did he hit?

25:32Richard Greaser We talked about gold. We talked about silver. We talked about time preference. We talked about how buying, whatever the product I I don't it wasn't like MSTR. It was one of the other derivatives that they sell. And, he was talking about how low time preference it was to buy it, and he mentioned safadine. And he, like you said, Lynn Alden's name. Nothing stops his train. She was sitting on the call. It was incredible. Like, he he literally ran through the greatest pub slop hits

26:06Richard Greaser in, like, two minutes. Just boom, boom, boom. And

26:09Rod Palmer I just I I I kinda feel empathy for your I don't know. I just feel for the shareholders. No shareholder wants to hop on a call, hop on a a numbers call, and it but they draw it in let Larry look hard, start with some low time preference slot. And it's like, this is not this the stocks the shares are going down, man. But it stops us train. That's for sure.

26:37Richard Greaser I mean, yeah. It's it's yeah. I don't know. I mean, I I haven't really ever sat on,

26:45Rod Palmer those investor calls before. And My point is, Ivy, when you go into an investor call and you you want to open the investor call with, you know, Dig Bitcoin is a, you know, digital turbine engine volatility. And you want to hear one of those, the remote dynamic, you know, hype speeches from the man himself, Michael Saylor. You don't want Larry Lippard, Grumpy, talk about low time preference and repeating

27:12Rod Palmer the Plebslop about how quantitative easing is just around the corner. That's what they've been saying for years. And we're just in the time of a lot of podcasts with grumpy macro elders kind of wondering why

27:31Rod Palmer their their macro voodoo just isn't you know, it isn't it doesn't work anymore. It's like I thought this was a fourth turning. I thought my macro insights, my treasury knowledge thought this was getting you somewhere. They don't, if they don't know it was the first journey,

27:47Rod Palmer they're pretty grumpy right now.

27:49Richard Greaser Yeah. I mean, I I was listening to some macro this week because, you know, last Monday, I was trying to figure out what's going on with the markets. It just seemed like pure chaos. And, you know, so I was listening to James Lavish on, what Bitcoin did. And it it seems like, you know, all the macro guys have kinda essentially

28:14Richard Greaser descended onto seeing the same things over and over again, which is, they're gonna print more money. They can't stop printing money. You know, they they talk about the new Fed chair, and they speculate they they say a bunch of, like, you know, information about what he thinks or what he's thought in the past, and then they speculate on what he's gonna do. And then they, you know but but it doesn't really mean anything. And then, they, talk about how Bitcoin's gonna go up eventually,

28:45Richard Greaser and then they say the word liquidity a lot. And they say liquidity is tight right now, so this is why the markets are behaving this way. And liquidity, liquidity, liquidity, It'll go up eventually. Slap.

28:58Rod Palmer Yeah. Just tick to it's macro slap. Yeah. Just pure they they've got nothing new, just re redigested macro slap.

29:10Richard Greaser Well, they they just they they can't seem to say the words, we have no idea what the fuck's gonna happen or what's going on.

29:20Rod Palmer Even the you they they bring out the legend. They hit the heavy hitters, Paul Tudor Jones. We're like, alright. Paul Tudor Jones, talk about Bitcoin again. Let's let's listen. And it's the oh, he's saying that a bunch of a bunch of angry clubs have Bitcoin in a hardware wallet. That means that, you know, it's never going to zero. It's like you that's what you've been saying since 2020. We need something more for, like, why we should be Polish. And

29:46Rod Palmer they just they're letting up they're letting down. They're letting people down. They're letting in their this the people they're letting down most are the broccoli haircuts. Broccoli haircuts are begging for a mentor, for an old mackerelow, they're to pull them under their shoulder and tell them that everything is going to be fine

30:05Rod Palmer because the the fed has they're back into a corner, and they have to they have to to ease this boat. We're not gonna be able to pay the the interest on the national debt. And and they're like, we we

30:19Rod Palmer we can't count on you guys anymore. We can't count on our elders to lead us into the first turning. Like, we have to launch our own TikTok macro. And that's where the TikTok macro is coming from. That's where these Zoomers are taking over prediction markets and meme coins, and they're generating their own liquidity because the macro elders in the m two chart, it is not it's not effective any it's it's not useful anymore.

30:44Richard Greaser Yeah. If I'm gonna listen to a macro podcast, I wanna hear something more insightful than what I would hear Nico and Opti say on Simply Bitcoin. Like, I I I need more than Simply Bitcoin slot to to capture my attention these days. Yeah. Because I'd much rather listen to Aaron Redwing speculate about astrology. I think that's way more you know, because

31:10Richard Greaser it at least it's, like, different than just hearing them all kind of regurgitate and say the same things over again about how the the government's gonna print more money, and it's gonna make the price of Bitcoin go up.

31:25Rod Palmer It's just But, Claudia, the the platys are are saying, you guys yeah. Everybody seems to get a high. Give that the the benefit of the doubt

31:40Rod Palmer for having, you know, a high time preference once in a while, except for the plebs. The plebs don't have they can't afford to have high time preference. So they just want to get they just want to find they just wanna be rewarded for low having low time preference. And the macro elders have been have been giving them hope that it

32:03Rod Palmer is wise they maintain a low time preference. They will be rewarded. Every five year time period, it has outperformed the S and P 500, like, there's only 21 you need to read the Bitcoin standard. Yeah. And it's it's just not working out. The the low time preference doesn't seem doesn't seem to be benefiting people. So what's the, you know, what is the

32:29Rod Palmer where's the reason to be home?

32:33Richard Greaser Well, I I do think the the low time preference is benefiting people because we're we're seeing the shift. The summer is gonna be white goi summer, which is all about low time preference. It's about working out. It's about getting in shape. It's about taking your sovereignty back from your lawyer, from your accountant. I do I I do see there being significant benefits of low time preference, but, you know, the the

33:05Richard Greaser the this is kind of the paradox of feeling the rewards of low time preference is that oftentimes, it takes a little bit for the reward to be realized. So the high time preference plaid wanting to be a low time preference plaid may not have the patience to experience it.

33:26Rod Palmer Do you think that, that the legends at Hyren Energy are gonna have a super bowl commercial, this year?

33:37Richard Greaser They could.

33:40Rod Palmer What about Swan? Do you think Swan's gonna get their commercial finally, or they're gonna get outbid by Coinbase?

33:46Richard Greaser No. I think they they blew all their budget on Tucker Carlson. And now now Corey is spending their entire budget on, clawed tokens to come up with reasons why, Howard Lutnick is the reason why Tether is gonna crash because he's on the Epstein link or list. What about a what about a Tether commercial? We very well could see a a Tether commercial. That'd be pretty interesting.

34:13Richard Greaser I don't know. What do you think? What what what crypto commercials are you expecting in the sports bowl? Super sports bowl?

34:23Rod Palmer We'd be surprised to see SAS mining, have an ad. That'd be pretty, maybe Marathon, the miners. They might do, like, an ad to talk about Slipstream. So you can, like, you know, hey. You could submit NFTs on their coin. Or

34:42Rod Palmer do you think there will be any quantum, any any quantum slop commercials? But, yeah, Nick Nick Carter could be on there. He could be his easy fund.

34:54Richard Greaser BIP one ten commercial.

34:56Rod Palmer BIP one ten. See that it, or BIP one ten merch and to the new Rugged Spammers T shirt collection by Knotts is available at Hot Topic, starting on Monday.

35:09Richard Greaser I've never been in a shop in, like, a mall for a long time. That that's where the only place where there's Hot Topic. Right? In malls.

35:18Rod Palmer Yeah. Exactly. Shop in malls, next to, like, Abercrombie and Fitch and, you know, JC Penney's.

35:29Richard Greaser I guess it's a good deal for, proof of ink. But, he's the one that does all their shirts. But,

35:37Rod Palmer yeah, that'll be interesting. Are you signed for the Super Bowl halftime show? Are you gonna wait are you gonna watch Ken Rock on TP USA, or are you gonna watch Bad Bunny on this on Terrible from the Super Bowl channel?

35:53Richard Greaser I don't know. I might I might have to I I I don't think I'm gonna watch it because you can't get the Super Bowl streaming on your typewriter. You know what I mean? But,

36:04Rod Palmer Are they gonna stream it on zap. Stream?

36:07Richard Greaser I'm sure somebody will. Actually, that's that's kind of interesting. I I imagine somebody's gonna have a bootleg version of the Super Bowl on on zap. Stream.

36:16Rod Palmer Or at least, like, based on how they should have a stream and watch super like a Super Bowl party stream.

36:22Richard Greaser That's a good idea for fundamentals.

36:25Rod Palmer Yeah. Let's go live on Oscar, zap. Stream, make fun of sports ball, and that he did. They make your own Noster commercial.

36:35Richard Greaser I see. I mean, I just don't I don't get excited by the by the spectacle. I mean, I think I'm just too deep into Bitcoin podcast to to even care at this point. This is this is where people got this is where people got to learn. It's like, you don't it doesn't matter

36:51Rod Palmer if you care about sports ball. The entire world is, taken is shutting down, essentially. You're either going to a bar, it's like a party, or you're stuck at home

37:05Rod Palmer trying to, you know, crash out on Nostra or so whatever, and you no make into the algorithm because you're not, you know, you're not part of the spectacle. Some people will say, if you start a stream, you have your own super yi, use this as an occasion for peep people who are coming together to look to to pay attention to the same thing or avoid paying attention to the same thing. So, you know, have a live stream for a live on Noster.

37:32Rod Palmer Zapdos stream. Hang out for your your your friends in the group chat. It's, every it's the super bowl whether you like it or not. Might as well do something fun with it.

37:46Richard Greaser I don't know. I I'm just so uninterested. I don't care. I'd rather I'd rather listen to to Bitcoin podcast. I know, like, fundamentals has put out, like, a 100 Bitcoin podcast this week that I could possibly listen to. And then, Chanrack's been sending some good ones in the group chat as well.

38:07Richard Greaser There's gonna be a lot of players that don't get they they just don't care about this the sports bowl. Like, I mean, you you've got Twitter, and you got an Oster. And if anything notable happens on there, you can you can read take on why the Coinbase commercial sucked. You don't have to watch it live.

38:27Richard Greaser They're gonna, like, do commercials for, like, I don't know. I mean, it's just it it's been so uninteresting the last few years. And, you know, maybe maybe there will be a lot of controversy, but it's kinda like, why do you have to watch it in the moment to experience it? You can just kinda

38:47Richard Greaser see the highlights afterwards.

38:51Rod Palmer Yeah. That's one way to look at it. I just think, you know, there's a lot of people who like monitoring the situation, and part of, you know, it'd be for youngsters out there, it used to be wasn't just the Super Bowl. You'd come together every Sunday night to watch the supremos on HBO or Game of Thrones. Then you watch, a new episode of Seinfeld or a new Saksoda Home Improvement,

39:16Rod Palmer Tim the Toolman and Taylor. And you go to work the next day or you go to your group chat, whatever the version of the group chat was at the time, and you you talk about it. Everybody's like, what was your reaction to the to the gay Puerto Rican guy in a dress? And it's like, well, what was your reaction to, I thought we were gonna get F22s, B2s. Were they really going to Iran? But yeah, whatever you said, everybody came together. And it was like a moment and like that is,

39:42Rod Palmer you don't get so much of that anymore nowadays. But monitoring situation is kind of bringing people back to that. And the Super Bowl is one of those situations. It has become its own situation. It's a pre scheduled situation

39:57Rod Palmer that everybody seems in to monitor. And some people like that. Some people like to monitor. They like to do the the in in in real life or in real time reactions. Because if you if you post a meme after somebody's already done it, people are just gonna accuse you of of stealing out.

40:16Richard Greaser What happens if, the bombs do start dropping mid Super Bowl?

40:22Rod Palmer They're in split screen watching Operation Shock and all Iran with, you know, Seahawks versus the Patriots.

40:34Richard Greaser Well, I'm trying to think if anything else interesting happened this week. People are upset about vague posts, whatever that means.

40:45Rod Palmer They post her as a epidemic. They slop. Through his bake slop.

40:53Richard Greaser So I think, you know, one of the the noteworthy things going on is, predicts has a market for bit 10 one ten. And Luke's out there running around talking about how,

41:09Richard Greaser prediction markets are a scam, which I don't really understand that take. My opinion, it sounds like Luke is lying, but, we're looking at the odds of bit one 10 activation

41:28Richard Greaser on predicts is currently 13.6%. Need creations is all wound up about it. He wants his his buddies to to throw down on the market. I don't think he's figured out how to set up his lightning wallet yet. I don't know. You got any thoughts on that?

41:50Rod Palmer Well, my dogs are giving me crazy. Sorry. I it's right now, prediction markets are exciting,

42:01Rod Palmer but it is it's being abused by it's just there's the there's the sense of urgency. People have a sense of urgency that they're something big's gonna happen, and they want to they've been famous in a podcast or they've been, you know, they've been reading a lot of slop, and they think that they this is their opportunity to front run the market, front run people.

42:27Rod Palmer They're trying to take you to the advantage of the you just have all the stuff that's going on with astrology right now and macro and the the the fourth turning and the first turning, they're trying to they're trying to make profit. Everybody's high time preference right now. And the the fact that there was, you know, people that

42:54Rod Palmer are considered allies of Bitcoin Core were in the FC files. So, like, this is a opportunity to I mean, you you have you have to exploit the opportunity of your enemies being in the FC files.

43:11Rod Palmer What? Is it is it landing? Is it worth are they getting the moral high ground?

43:21Richard Greaser Is who getting the moral high ground?

43:24Rod Palmer Or, the Nazis have color last around focusing on their enemies. And this is not just this is a this is not just them. This is everybody. This is, everybody in society, they their derangement syndrome or their,

43:42Rod Palmer their their tribe, their side, they've they're they're circling the way, and and they are targeting the fact that they're enemies, they're opposition, they're rivals. Or if they're in the Epstein files, they're exploiting that opportunity. Is is it working? Are they gaining are the people who are doing this gaining the moral high ground?

44:06Richard Greaser I mean, I don't think you really ever gain much from twisting yourself and not and and bouncing around like a pinball completely uncalculated, just being

44:15Rod Palmer used to Is it a victory is it a victory lap for the libertarians? Is it a victory lap for Bitcoin University? Is it a a victory lap for the Democrats? Like, is anybody

44:33Rod Palmer is anybody actually looking better now that they're they're gloating? They're saying, we were right. We were right about the Epstein files. You should put us at church. We should be you should listen to us now. Is anybody like, yeah. Let's listen to them.

44:48Richard Greaser I don't think so. I mean, it it seems like, where are the libertarians at these days? It seems like they're just completely falling off.

44:59Rod Palmer They're gloating. It's saying, see, we told you that we but the down group of government is in the Epstein files. We told you she'll listen to us.

45:12Richard Greaser What it what it seems like is individuals that many of the individuals that have been saying these things for a long time are just getting completely, pushed out of the, the front and center by individuals that are just kinda pivoting it to it and talking about it and freaking out. It's like it's like the mainstream has just taken control of the conversation.

45:37Richard Greaser And, you know, Shinobi's out there. He's demanding that people go and apologize to Mark and Whitney. I have yet to see anybody apologize to Mark and Whitney. You know, the people that were saying that they were too boring to listen to, you know, they're they're just like, oh, yeah. You know, Ian Carroll's been talking about this stuff.

45:58Rod Palmer Ian Carroll, Roger Ver, they say he's been talking about this. The Kreuger's are taking a victory lap. The is it everybody seems to think that they were right about this. It seems like everybody is trying to take credit for being right about

46:25Rod Palmer ensure of our political system results of the FC files. They're saying that they are vindicated as a result of the FC files. But, no, none of them,

46:39Rod Palmer like, you need none of them contributed to the SC files even being released. They're like it was it was the podcasters. It was the Ian Carrolls. It was the TikTokers. So

46:55Rod Palmer maybe it's time that the broccoli haircuts and the and the podcasters maybe it and maybe it's time to run one thing's their way, one thing's Joe Rogan style, Nick Fuentes, Nick Shirley, mister Beast, you name it.

47:14Richard Greaser I don't know. There's there's, like, this whole retarded complex of individuals that take anything interesting. They just kinda aggregate the information that's put out there, and they just translate it into PubSlop. And they they provide

47:35Richard Greaser analysis and and cover and spin to all of it. And, I think most of the names you just mentioned exist in that that realm. The Ian Carrolls, the,

47:48Richard Greaser Nick Shirley's, the, Nick Fuentes. It's, yeah. I don't know. But I do I do believe the podcasters really have been the heroes in the story, for sure. The this story would've completely gone and died had it not been for the podcasters, you know, demanding that they'd be released. But, you know,

48:13Richard Greaser they're they're the pod podcasting is the the forefront of the warfare of information warfare right now. It is, you know, they tried to bring podcasters into running the FBI to help with the cover up of this stuff. That didn't work out very well. So, you know, I would say the podcasters are still in control, but it it is very, tumultuous to say the least. It's,

48:40Richard Greaser but, you know, you're seeing the shift because, it's the it's the podcasting isn't enough. Like, you you have to podcast and then convert the podcast into short term short form content. And I think that the most successful podcasters have been excellent at this.

49:02Richard Greaser So you you gotta you gotta get the the Gen Xers with long form content and the millennials, and then you gotta get the the broccoli hair haircuts with the short form. And then gen gen alpha, you have even shorter attention spans than the than the broccoli haircuts.

49:24Richard Greaser It's pretty crazy. I don't I don't know. What the generation that comes after Gen Alpha are gonna have such short attention spans is gonna be absolutely insane.

49:36Rod Palmer Yeah. What's, I before we get to the boost, what what are your predictions for what comes after, you know, like I said, today is the last day of football.

49:50Rod Palmer The the pride and circuses have reached the off season until even

49:58Rod Palmer it we can't even get even get into Maxi Madness today. But until Maxi Madness, flies have nothing to distract them from their derangement syndromes. So what are your predictions? Like, what do you think is gonna happen starting, you know, this week?

50:14Richard Greaser It's gonna be like a bunch of ants in a jar or somebody shaking them. They're gonna get real mad. The red ants are gonna fight the black ants, and, it's gonna be chaos in the streets. And, it's gonna be this could be volatile. It's gonna be interesting for sure. But, yeah, I think that's pretty,

50:40Richard Greaser it's a pretty easy prediction to make, though. It's a good time to not live in a population dense area to say the least, move out of the city a little ways. But, I don't know. Did you have any predictions you wanted to make before we go to the booths?

51:01Rod Palmer Prior on, I think the I think the depends on the price. The price will tell us which direction we're going in terms of announcements and

51:15Rod Palmer temp five five five checks on the temperature. And then that'll be the are we going to war? Or what's gonna happen? We'll know by the price. Is is is the bottom end? We'll find out. And are people gonna crash out? We'll see how much volatility we have. It'd be interesting. There's gonna be a lot of there's gonna be a lot of crash outs regardless.

51:41Richard Greaser Late stage Huddl, 6,006 at says, thank you all for your your banter and discussions. Lots of scare shit online lately with the releases. Really got me feeling grumpy. Looking back at our October all time high, wondering what

51:57Richard Greaser what the fuck happened. Don't give Bubba too much shit. We he may have a jitterbug phone, but it fits better in your pocket for cross country motorcycle trips. Richard, a bit of real time feedback used the word interesting too repetitively. Can I send you a thesaurus

52:17Richard Greaser for a late Christmas gift? Call it Mardi Gras gift. Y'all come visit for Mardi Gras next year. Yeah. I do say the word interesting too much. I I've noticed that, and thank you for bringing that to my awareness. I will, work on that. I don't think I need a thesaurus. I got one here.

52:40Richard Greaser Fascinating, enlightening observation late stage Huddl. And I was saying on the grumpiness is like, that's the point of these files. The the files are meant to try and make you feel grumpy. Don't let them get you grumpy. That that's letting them know.

52:58Rod Palmer Don't let that seem to make you grumpy. No. 5115¢. Long time listener, first time zapper, thanks for sharing my glazing song. Forty hours per week made me the credentialed musician I am today. Keep up the awesome work. Now is that the is that the song we we got in our mentions of, like, we're recording

53:21Rod Palmer the other night? Okay. That was a good one. That was a good one. Yeah. Yeah. Make us great. We would love for people

53:34Rod Palmer to glaze us with their art, glaze us with their music, glaze us with their praise. Keep it coming, guys. Keep it coming while the the we will share it. All good glaze will be shared.

53:48Richard Greaser Thank you, Nelp. It was a fun song to listen to. Sasha, 2,100 sat says, great show. Thank you. Are y'all going into the next 100? I don't think so. I'm just not much of a 100 party type person. It sounds like Adam Back is gonna be hosting the new one because everybody thinks he's cooler than Sailor because of the Epstein files, but I don't know. Rod, you really wanna go. You want nothing. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

54:16Rod Palmer I, I would love I would love to go in to be going to the hundred k party. You know, it it just depends on if they value credentials, credential journalists at their party. But if I'm invited, I will I will be there.

54:34Richard Greaser Cool.

54:36Rod Palmer Next one, one thousand sass from Bubba. My jitterbug is a special zebra's bug. It's very chic. Don't be jealous. I'm in the second turning, which means I'm either five years ahead of my time or twenty five years behind. I just don't know. Hell, I'm not sure I care. Mediocrity is the new Mensa. So Baba, he Baba's like, you know, he's like an old an old cowboy drifter on his Harley on his, his motorcycle. He's drifting in and out of turnings. He's reminiscing

55:07Rod Palmer on his glory days in the, during Woodstock. He's, he's got his Jitterbug phone, his his third turning phone in the first turning. He's he is a man of many turnings. Bubba is a he he transcends the turnings.

55:23Rod Palmer You could thrive in any one of them. That's why we love him.

55:28Richard Greaser Thank you for the boost, Bubba. And and back to Lake St. Otto, we weren't giving Bubba a hard time. Love Bubba. Mediocrity is the new Mensa. I like that. But Nick Carter is trying to get himself in the Mensa right now.

55:44Rod Palmer Like, we said, everybody, everybody's basically, I think, boy, when they got chat, g p t.

55:50Richard Greaser Not because 18. 808 says solid rip boys, not glaze. Live a whole aloha. Well, thank you, not because.

55:58Rod Palmer 521 sad, Steve Stoshi. Thank you for your time. Thank you for the sad.

56:06Richard Greaser God's death says for 237 says thank you, gentlemen. Oh, you're welcome.

56:14Rod Palmer Then two one hundred zap boos for BTC onboard. Thumbs up emojis, heart thumbs up emojis.

56:21Richard Greaser Thank you, guys. We've got some exciting things coming up in this first quarter of the year that we'll be announcing here in the new fee future, but there are a lot of projects being worked on behind the scenes. As we,

56:39Richard Greaser as you're listening to this, I'll probably have already published my newest, villains music video. But, I also released for our paid subscribers, released an episode of, you know, discussing villains. I I just thought it was a good topic and it was appropriate, but I I am just put out the, third episode of the hero series, which you can go check out on fountain.

57:03Richard Greaser And, that's gonna be a big year for the beautiful folks. So thank you for everybody that's, listening and supporting the show. Really appreciate it.

57:17Rod Palmer They are the villains that rule the world, but they are losing their control. You have to fight in order to survive. You have to fight to feel alive. There's a coldness

58:00Rod Palmer in their eyes. They enjoy their victims' cries. Darkness fills their souls. They dominate

58:13Rod Palmer to control. They are the villains who rule the world. Slaughtering the ones in their way. Threatened by those who disobey.

59:17Rod Palmer Expensive violent real estate, where they determine the world's fate. They are the villains who rule the world. You are caught in their game. They try to extinguish your flame.

59:54Rod Palmer Trapped in a nightmare you can't escape. I know that your heart aches. Woah. Woah. They are the feelings that rule the world,

1:00:32Rod Palmer but they are losing their control. You have to fight in order to survive. You have to fight to feel alive.
