0:06Timmy Tether This is the forty hours per week Bitcoin podcast listener spotlight with your host, Timmy Tether.

0:19Timmy Tether Welcome to the forty hours per week Bitcoin podcast listener spotlight. I'm your host, Timmy Tether. And today, we are putting the spotlight on a true blue collar inspiration. His name is Randy Winston, and he's a truck driver from Peoria, Illinois. Now I had the pleasure of meeting Randy while working on Plebs on Parade, and folks, you're gonna love Randy. So let's get to the spotlight.

0:45Randy Winston (Hall and Sats) Yeah. So my Fiat name is Randy, but most people know me by my trucker call sign or from Noster as Holland Satz. I drive a two thousand seventeen twelve speed air ride Peterbilt 18 wheeler. Her name is Diesel Hornet. I'm the first person in my family to get a CDL. That's a commercial driver's license,

1:10Randy Winston (Hall and Sats) the most prestigious credential in the transportation industry. I was orange pilled by a fellow trucker and a road nim named Skidmark over CB Radio while hauling a load through the Arkansas Ozarks in 2019. Skidmark caught a bid a few years earlier for soliciting what we call a fed of the road,

1:36Randy Winston (Hall and Sats) which is an undercover cop posing as a prostitute. Bitcoin podcasts per week while driving Diesel Hornet, delivering loads all over North America. It has lowered my time preference considerably. I've orange pilled gas station proprietors at truck stops in 16 states and started contributing to decentralizing the network by plugging my BitX into the cigarette lighter in my truck, which I also use to light my Winston brand cigarettes. These days, when I'm not listening to podcasts and hashing with diesel,

2:19Randy Winston (Hall and Sats) I'm communicating with other plebs in the Mej Dadell who are working on building the infrastructure for a trucker circular economy over mesh networks and beta testing an app to send lightning over CB radio. If we ever cross paths on the road, make sure to zap the QR code on the side of Diesel Hornet,

2:40Randy Winston (Hall and Sats) and I'll honk her horn for you.

2:51Timmy Tether Folks, that was Hall and Satsen. Let me tell you, he's as impressive in person as he sounds on a podcast. Well, that concludes this edition of the forty hours per week Bitcoin podcast listener spotlight. If you'd like to be featured in our spotlight, reach out and send us your proof of forty hours per week so we can tell your story.

3:22Rod Palmer Welcome back to Bugle weekly. I'm Rod Palmer. I'm here with, Bugle News managing editor, Richard Grieser. And, you know,

3:33Rod Palmer it's been a wild past couple months. The tariffs and, you know, even even COVID the past few years before it is just really what, like, reminded Americans at corners of the backbone. What is the backbone of the economy? What is the backbone of modern society?

3:53Rod Palmer It's the truckers. It's the truckers who they're hall and loop all across the country, rain or shine. Doesn't matter what the temperature. Doesn't matter Climate change, doesn't matter if there's a recession, the truckers are trucking, doesn't matter anything. And they are also the ones leading, especially in places like Canada,

4:13Rod Palmer the you know, will be towards hyper Bitcoinization because they're driving forty hours per week plus. And that entire time, they are able to listen to Bitcoin podcasts. It's the it's the perfect job to where you can have, you know, so people try to work remotely and they have multiple jobs, but it's the truckers who can really do it. And we're really trying to focus on those guys. Those guys are using the CB radios.

4:39Rod Palmer They know how to to pick up signal. So we're gonna broadcast that signal to them, and we're gonna we really wanna focus our efforts on Orange Building truckers. But most of all, we want to, show our appreciation to truckers. How are you doing, Richard?

4:52Richard Greaser I'm doing well. I'm really grateful for, truckers. We we couldn't be podcasting without truckers. We couldn't be listening to podcasts without truckers. All the all the devices, all the headphones, all the microphones, all the typewriters, you know, all our gear. We have it because of truckers. They deliver it to us. They deliver it to us while they're listening to forty hours Bitcoin podcast a week. They are working hard. They're they're away from their families quite a bit.

5:23Richard Greaser When they're, I mean, it just makes so much sense for truckers to be orange pilled. It just makes so much sense for them to be orange pilled, because they're they're getting pretty hammered right now by the economy. Even though the economy is doing fine, they're still getting hammered by it. And, you know, they're they're going they're they're truck stops. They're interacting with these prostitutes. As we know about prostitutes, prostitutes oftentimes are also orange pilled and listen to forty hours of Bitcoin podcasts a week. They're

5:52Richard Greaser having Bitcoin meetups using their CV radios. They are on the front lines. And when you think about the Canadian trucker protest, we we know that there's a lot of Canadians that are based, and there's a lot of Canadians that are not based.

6:10Richard Greaser You but, you know, when it wherever there's a huge concentration of MPCs, there's also gonna be a huge concentration of base people, because the MPCs create base people. Right? The people that are smoking cigarettes using their brains, they're they're pushed to become more based. And the Canadian truckers, when they were leading the trucker protest and nobody's talking about this. Nobody's talking about this. But the reason why that protest happened was because of forty hours per week.

6:40Rod Palmer Exactly. Exactly. And it started with the Canadian truckers. But just wait until all the other truckers realize

6:49Rod Palmer that they can listen to forty hours per week as they're driving rig and what that value of that forty hours per week is, what that, like, community that they build, what the the the low time preference that they develop. And then they realize, okay, this is almost like having two jobs, like dual income, like to help me stack apps. And I don't even have to give up my chair.

7:13Rod Palmer In fact, it helps me in this process. And then they say, oh, I can listen to my forty hours and then I can have the weekend to listen to more Bitcoin podcasts that week or to hang out with my family or to, you know, learn how to Bitcoin miner watch forty hours of BTC sessions tutorials and set up a lightning note. But then they'll realize probably as they're, tasked with delivering them across the country.

7:39Rod Palmer They'll learn about bid access and to learn that they can plug in their bid acts in their rig while they're driving. Listen to forty hours per week, decentralize the network, and earn sets, potentially find a block. And

7:55Rod Palmer this is also further decentralizing mining because now we have mobile jurisdictionally, dynamic, hard to track non KYC Bitcoin mining,

8:09Rod Palmer you know, operations all throughout the country, throughout North America, throughout Asia. You've got truckers driving across their continents, across their states, across their countries. And, you know, if there's a hash war, if there's a military war, you know, this this derisks Bitcoin mining and the derisks investing in Bitcoin miners like Hut eight and Riot and Marathon

8:34Rod Palmer and and and, you know, making your retirement income go up. So this is just huge. We're we're really wanna focus on on on these truckers, and we really do wanna raise awareness for the biggest protest. The biggest, you know, standoff with the federal government, the state, and the biggest victory in the end was the Canadian truckers

8:57Richard Greaser fueled by forty hours per week. Definitely. It's an example for us all, and I I just think, you know, there's these people that make society work. They're the people that actually do all the dirty work behind the scenes, and and the truckers are those people driving all of our stuff around. We wouldn't have stuff without truckers, and, you know, a lot of people that don't listen to forty hours per week that that believe in Keynesian economics, they they just think that, like, things teleport to stores.

9:29Richard Greaser They don't realize how they get there. They don't realize that there's farmers riding on their tractors, harvesting all the crops, ranchers taking care of the cattle, and then the truckers driving those products from the farms, from the ranches to the grocery store. They just think it teleports there. Just magically, it's yours.

9:49Rod Palmer Do people think that cigarettes grow on cigarette trees outside the supermarket or outside the bodega? No. Truckers deliver from the tobacco farms. And even if you're, you know, even if you're a lefty loony and you think there's, like, too much consumerism, think about driving down the highway. What do truckers do? Truckers,

10:10Rod Palmer they spot cops. They they spot the bears in the bushes, and they and they blink their lights at you and warn you that the government is gonna try and make it harder for you to afford taxes that week. And, you know, they're the ones that they rule the road. You know, they they throttle the network like when you're trying to go on vacation or you're trying to drive and travel somewhere, they get in the, the hammer lane and they block it. They slow down traffic and, you know, it's it's because they're of their size and their influence. And, Yeah, it's like having or having the roads ruled by orange piddled Bitcoiners

10:50Rod Palmer is gonna fix our infrastructure and it's gonna fix our interstates. It's gonna fix our traffic problems. It's gonna fix our logistics, our trade. It's gonna fix all this is how Bitcoin fixes these things at scale. Bitcoin fixes things at scale by using truckers. 100%. I mean, we're they're gonna be the first people that kinda usher in the free market road systems

11:12Richard Greaser that are gonna fix our roads and implement lightning payments for miles driven. It's gonna be it's gonna be, like I mean, you could you could think about this. This would be really interesting if Fountain did this. They did Fountain for truckers, and they were able to kinda combine minutes listened to

11:33Richard Greaser and miles driven with SatStream. If there was a payment split for every StratSatStream to the free market, private road company, instead of us having to pay taxes for them to to not fix the roads, there'll be private corporations building the roads, and they would fix Right. Because Think about how

11:55Rod Palmer think about how much easier it would be to go through, you know, a toll road. Instead of having to stop everybody's and they're digging through their coins and they're trying to count out dollar 72. You just scan a lightning invoice as you drive through. You you just solved all the problems at toll roads at these bottlenecks. And think about, you know, these really rural places out in, you know, Arizona, Nevada, Montana, Iowa. Those people don't might not even know about Bitcoin Podcasts.

12:26Rod Palmer But if a trucker is delivering a load out to their, you know, corner of the country, they have the opportunity to orange pill the gas station attendants and get them to accept lightning, at truck stops, at vending machines, to get gas to fill up their diesel truck, to plug in their bid acts at night when they're sleeping. The orange pill at the margins. They or these these these truckers this is why, you know, orange pilling and this is for a different topic for a different day. Orange pilling the,

12:55Rod Palmer the postal service so people can buy stamps with lightning. This will get out to the most rural places where we know people and and and potential orange pilling opportunities exist. And these truckers really like I said, they grow the the network at the margins and they they use these CD radios.

13:15Rod Palmer They could be sending what you know, transactions on lightning over CD radio. You can set up mesh networks. The mesh though can can profit, you know, propagate through through the truck or movement. And it's like you can have localized spaces. You can just get on CD radio and it can be like clubhouse. And it'll break up the boredom and, you know, loneliness of being on the road.

13:40Richard Greaser Definitely. Well, I think I kinda wanna wrap up this topic of the the truckers. Not that we couldn't talk about it for a while. But, before we do, I wanna kick it over to Kaylee

13:52Kaylee Welch to hear from her interview that she did with a trucker on the ground. Hey. This is Kaylee Welch. I'm on the road doing some on the ground reporting with Louise Snekelbuck, who is a self employed truck driver who also listens to forty hours of Bitcoin podcasts a week. We are currently driving from Nashville to New York. If there is one group committed to forty hours per week, it's the truckers.

14:14Louise Snekelbuck Louise, can you tell me which Bitcoin podcasts are your go tos on trips such as this? Hey. Thanks for riding with me on this trip, Kaylee. I'm not allowed to drive drunk while I'm working, unfortunately, but that doesn't mean we can't have a good time. My favorite Bitcoin podcasts consist, of course, of the Bugle Weekly, but I like coin stories with Natalie Brunel, any Lynn Alden interview, and I get a kick out of Citadel dispatch because Odell is so grumpy.

14:40Kaylee Welch You're right. Odell is a little bitch. I'm not sure what his problem is. He gets super grumpy especially if you call him grumpy. So can you tell me why you find it important to listen to Bitcoin podcast when you're on the road? I listen to my 40 every week because trucking is hard. The Fiat world is coming crashing down around us and so many of my peers are going out of business. Not me though because I listen to 40 HPW and stack sats.

15:03Louise Snekelbuck I need to know about the macro, the memes, and to overall understand the world from a first principles and thermodynamically sound perspective. I also need to know what's going on so I can talk to other truck drivers on our ham radio Bitcoin meetups.

15:17Kaylee Welch That's awesome, Luis. Thanks for letting me interview you. This is Kaylee Welch reporting in from rural Tennessee. Now let's get back to the regular scheduled content.

15:25Richard Greaser Well, thank you, Kaylee, for that. That was really interesting.

15:30Rod Palmer It was great to have Kaylee back to us for sure. I mean, everything's been going smooth. She seems like she's, seems like she's really having a good time, really get coming into her own. Yeah. She's great. She's the best.

15:43Richard Greaser She was really funny this week. Her her and Maggie were beefing. I had a I had a good time, seeing them argue. And they they can get a little bit bit fiery, but they they work things out eventually, and they came to a conclusion. But there was a big debate in the Beagle newsroom on whether the women of the Beagle newsroom should wear skirts

16:05Richard Greaser or dresses or if they should wear pantsuits. And so Maggie wanted to wear pantsuits and Kaylee wanted to wear dresses. They did a lot of arguing that it that said a lot of mean things to each other. Maggie was talking about how she didn't wanna see, like, Kaylee's legs and cleavage, and that was distracting for the men. Kaylee said that she is just distracting no matter what she wears because she's so hot. It was, it was quite the fiery back and forth.

16:40Rod Palmer And it was it was a really good reminder. You know, there's a lot of guys out there, and they're looking for an orange pilled girlfriend. They're looking for a Bitcoin or a girlfriend and or a Bitcoin or wife. You know what I mean? And it's it's hard to find and they think, you know, they have these fantasies or these they romanticize the idea of their Bitcoin or wife and they're gonna talk about Sailor Series and they're gonna, you know, sit down and and have a beef steak and and talk about the forty hours podcast they listen to that week and and how they think that fiat money is gonna be destroyed, by the lining of incentives. The reality is that orange pilled women are no different than,

17:21Rod Palmer you know, normally wouldn't. They're still bickering over fashion. They're still worried about what should I wear. Is it gonna is it gonna be hot or is it gonna be cold? Do I have to wear a coat when I when I come to this thing? Oh, I've got you wear the right coat. Can you please let me wear your coat? It's raining out. Then you have to walk around and get wet and cold. It sucks. And they're worried about, Hey, does this shirt make me look fat? Or if they're jealous of their girlfriends, so they're getting some kind of you know, strong like orange build girlfriends, orange build wives. They're really no different than the normal wives, so it's be careful what you wish for. It's just, you know, so you don't want just a crazy high maintenance, high drama woman. It's also,

18:01Rod Palmer you know, what, getting really pissed every time you spend too many sass. Like, she's the one that's tighter than you.

18:07Richard Greaser Well, I I think the way I would phrase it would be a little bit more diplomatic than what you just said. But, I I would say orange pill women, women living on the Bitcoin standard, at the end of the day, they they are different than normie women, but they're still women. They're not one of the bros. They're not gonna be one of your bros.

18:30Richard Greaser You don't want your wife to be one of the bros. You want you want her to be a woman. And, I think in your in your wife,

18:42Richard Greaser in your girlfriend, you want her to be a little bit high maintenance, not too high maintenance. But you want her I I think the the high maintenance, what it is, is it it's a sense of self respect. You know, she's gonna demand of you to to actually be a man, to listen forty hours Bitcoin podcast, to to actually take care of the family. A a wife that

19:08Richard Greaser is too low maintenance

19:10Rod Palmer probably means that she's checked out at the end of the day. Yeah. It's a guy like a Bitcoin miner. It's like, you all want it's too high maintenance. He won't whine. That's gonna it's gonna hash. It's gonna be dependable. But, you know, it it it you also wanna be able to pay something that makes you pay attention. Because if you don't pay attention, you're you're gonna miss a lot of important details. Totally.

19:31Richard Greaser Yeah.

19:34Rod Palmer That another big thing, a lot of people liked the the behind the podcast that we just did with Aaron Redwing, called, you know, Sanford Pump to Use Ordinals Mode, kind of a provocative, title. But it was really more about astrology. We we didn't want to scare people away. We didn't wanna scare our listeners away with a topic about astrology. So we thought we said that the episode was about ordinals.

19:60Rod Palmer But, it was still it was still really good. It was, we got a lot of good feedback on that. And it, you know, I was expecting more outrage because the more people hated ordinals, the more I wanted to, you know, report on the news for it. But I think that we're just drove people crazy. But luckily, there wasn't too much of that. Yeah. I think a lot of our listeners, they

20:25Richard Greaser I'll probably be hearing about it eventually as I'm talking with them. I'm sure there were some that were upset about it, but, I do think it was an interesting conversation. It's a conversation that I wanna keep ongoing. One of the things that I'm excited about is, after we're done recording or or maybe when we were recording, I can't remember, but Aaron invited us to in Scribe in Vegas. And so we're gonna be there. We we worked out a media partnership

20:52Richard Greaser with, the Ordinals people. And so we're gonna be there on the ground, reporting live, probably doing some live podcasting, Rod, myself, and Maggie Morris. And, I think it's gonna be

21:07Richard Greaser it's gonna be pretty interesting. I'm, I'm kinda I've never been to, like, a Bitcoin event like that, and I'm curious to see the types of people that that show up to it. Are are they gonna be, like, what what type of Bitcoiners are are we gonna see there? You know, one of the things that Aaron said is that there's gonna be more women than at the Bitcoin conference.

21:35Richard Greaser And so I'm curious to see if that claim is true or if she was just trying to, get the orange shells to show up or or if that was a marketing scheme. But I'm interested to see what what it's like on the ground.

21:50Rod Palmer Yeah. It's it'll be interesting, you know, Sometimes it's a trope in a movie or a TV show that somebody's, you know, in a part of town or in some area that they don't normally travel to. And they, you know, wind up seeing, you know, the cop, you know, the commissioner of the police department show up and and and kiss a man in a gay bar.

22:12Rod Palmer And because he didn't know that anybody was gonna be there that recognized him. And it's almost gonna feel like I wonder for nobody's gonna expect the bugle to be at his describing Vegas. And is Terrence Yang gonna be trying to trade ordinals there not expecting to be found out or, you know, somebody else who's a closet, you know, NFT enjoyer. So I think there's more out there. I think the ones who are the loudest against it

22:36Richard Greaser are the most likely to dabble in the NFCs anyway. I think that's a that's a good point. I mean, are we gonna see Brady Swenson in disguise? Are we gonna see Corey Clipson in a disguise? Who knows? They we'll be very interesting to see. And we're going we're gonna be reporting live. We're gonna be live streaming, from the event. And

22:59Richard Greaser if you wanna come see us at the VM, we'll be right there, probably in the main area, for you to interact with. But, you know, I'm excited about Vegas in general. I think later this week, probably on Tuesday, there's gonna be an announcement about one of the events that we're gonna be, performing at on, Wednesday night on Fremont Street, and I'm excited about that.

23:26Richard Greaser Hopefully, there'll be more events that we get roped into, but I don't have anything on the docket yet, but besides those two things. Yeah. I think Vegas will be cool. It's gonna be strange. It's always strange. I mean, the last conference was pretty strange. I'm kind of I'm kind of calling it the regulatory clarity conference. That's that's what it seems like the big topics are gonna be to me. Dennis Porter rounded up all the politicians. All the politicians he's been lobbying are gonna be speaking there. There's gonna be a lot of there's gonna be less Bitcoiners speaking and more politicians speaking,

24:02Richard Greaser this year. That's one of the big trends that we're seeing. And, there's probably gonna be TSA. There's probably gonna be Secret Service screening all the, all the speakers. And, that's a very different dynamic than what we've seen at the majority of Bitcoin conference before. Like, I I remember the days where you could walk into the main stage without going through TSA.

24:27Richard Greaser It's like there's there's the Bitcoin conference before Donald Trump spoke, and then after Donald Trump spoke, and it's kinda like pre and post 09:11 is the very similar feeling, that the conference has. But we'll be there walking around, shaking hands, doing some reporting on the ground. I don't know if we'll be doing any live coverage from the conference. We kinda discussed that, but, we'll have to see what the, logistics look like for that.

24:57Rod Palmer Yeah. The conference is really this year especially, but it's a great time for people to come together, be in person and record Bitcoin podcasts. So forty hours per week listeners are gonna be even if you can't make it to the conference, you're gonna benefit from this conference.

25:17Rod Palmer And I think my prediction for 2025 in phase is there's gonna be a lot of announcements about new Bitcoin podcasts. There's gonna be a lot of people coming together talking about brokering a new deal, forming a podcast,

25:33Rod Palmer forming a new podcast company, announcing plans about attempts to improve the user experience for Bitcoin podcasts and Bitcoin podcast listeners. There's just gonna be a big emphasis on Bitcoin podcasts

25:49Rod Palmer bigger than that there has been in the past. And I think it's gonna be, a big a big, big year after this conference for Bitcoin podcasts. And I I would say look for that and then look out for for the signal. Is this gonna be emanating from Vegas? Like, almost like they're gonna put a big podcast symbol

26:09Rod Palmer on the sphere one of the days. That's what I think. I think it was the end. There's gonna be some great politicians, and and and and and people in the government that are gonna be looking to to to spread their influence through Bitcoin podcasts, and it's gonna start

26:25Richard Greaser in Vegas. That's one thing. If you're a Bitcoin podcaster, we're gonna be in Vegas, you wanna interview us, I think we'll be down to go on just about anybody's Bitcoin podcast. Is there anybody that you wouldn't wanna go? Anybody's Bitcoin podcast you wouldn't do? No. I think

26:43Rod Palmer I don't know. I you could probably name some that I would be less enthusiastic about doing. But I would like you know, my message is gonna be the same for everybody. So I think that, I think that I'm open for just about any any interview, any challenge. Any debate? You wanna do some debate? God wants to do a debate. I mean, he won't be there, but I would you know, I'd I'd still love to debate predator.

27:10Rod Palmer Anybody who, you know, maybe they just they had their feelings hurt by Maxi Madness, and they wanted to vent their frustration about, Teddy Bitcoins ruining Maxi Madness or, you know, honestly, just any the some people hate Bitcoin podcast. We could debate the importance of Bitcoin podcast and how Bitcoin podcast play a crucial role

27:34Richard Greaser in securing the network. Yeah. Sounds pretty good to me. I'd be happy to debate people too. It'll it'll be interesting to see We'll probably record some interviews out there, I would imagine. We'll we'll just have to see. I think I think we're we're we don't have we've got, like, a few things planned, but we got we gotta land, get the lay of the land, figure out what's going on. And, we're not gonna tell the graph too much what we're up to, because we know the spooks are out there trying to mess with us. So, we're gonna keep them guessing. We're gonna keep them guessing.

28:07Richard Greaser But, yeah. Talking about some other stories this week, there was, Jack Cruz. He made a pretty bold claim. You know? Some people like other Barry were

28:23Richard Greaser criticizing him. Nico from Simply Bitcoin was interviewing them. They were sitting down crisscrossing the grass. And, some people noticed that, Jack Cruz was a little bit heavier set. Doesn't look like he's smoking enough cigarettes.

28:37Richard Greaser And, people like Elderberry were calling him out for it. And he responded with a very bold claim. He said, you know, I'm not, fat because I eat too much. I just have tallow tallow gut. What are your thoughts on that, Ron?

28:55Rod Palmer Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. The, the the story, to back up a little bit. Yeah. Simply Bitcoin, they were down in location in El Salvador again, and they were they're interviewing sensei, Doctor. Jack Crews, one of the most respected, you know, forty hours of Jack Crews podcast solves a lot of, you know, one people's health problems. He's very revered.

29:18Rod Palmer And Elder Barry noticed, you know, was teasing him. He was just teasing him saying that he had a beard gut. And it's like, I don't know if I'm gonna listen, you know, to medical advice from a doctor or or a Bitcoin podcaster. I think I'll probably just

29:34Rod Palmer follow the person who's in best shape, and it was like it was a picture in Nikko next to doctor Cruz, and Nikko is in better shape. So it's like, wow. I'm gonna listen to Nikko's advice over doctor Cruz in this situation. And by, you know, it's just doctor Cruz said he has a tallow belly. And he went on today to talk about

29:56Rod Palmer seed oils and the people who are preaching the anti seed oil, you know, diets and health routines. The seed oils are pretty much harmless because if you get enough sun, it enables enables your body to use some words that probably, you know, people have to use a look up DonChat GPT and get a vague definition too. But he said that it did those those words to seed oils

30:21Rod Palmer and it kinda made them basically harmless. It got them out of your body. It's actually the tallow salesman in Bitcoin who are lying to you. Like, he's he's got a gut from the tallow, not the seed oils, not the beer, not the partying. It's just from too much too much, too much tallow

30:39Richard Greaser products. So pretty much is Kit SaaS fault. It's Golden Tallow Right. Kit SaaS fault that he he's a little bit, I think the politically correct word would be,

30:53Rod Palmer Austin. Some people were saying some people were saying that, like, on podcasts, it looked like Doctor. Cruz, you know, took the oil this number of Barn Liners said that, Kit Sats, her tallow was pretty greasy and he was just pouring the oil all the you know, using that kind of like his sunscreen. And then wherever was the tallow's left he was just like, you know, the way some people lick the, top of the ranch on the container when they're dipping their chicken nuggets. He did that with the tallow. This is like he does that every day.

31:24Rod Palmer He just looks like a crazy tallow. Tallow, you know, a tallow whale. He's like a tallow tiger. Roman, the El Salvadorian forest, the tallow tigers, they know he's there because all the leaves are creasy with tallow. Creasy kitsets tallow. It's like a slug going through the going through the jungle. But, you know,

31:43Rod Palmer he does have medical credentials. So all we're saying is, you know, live up to your credentials. Don't rest on them. Don't try to be, you know, given out medical advice if you have a tallow belly. Well, you know, I think his medical advice is

31:58Richard Greaser still sound. You know, there's a lot more about might he paid attention and Tell me. Let me let me let me rephrase.

32:05Rod Palmer Don't get so don't get so offended when a plant, you know, questions your medical advice because you have a tallow belly. Just explain why you have a tallow belly. Explain that El Salvador

32:20Rod Palmer has bad protections on their electromagnetic forces in their health care facilities and the AGM is your thyroid and that's why you you know that people might have tallow bellies. Just explain it. As long as we know, we'll go back to, you know, wanting to hear about how methylene blue is a really good settlement. Yeah. It's just about it's about open sourcing

32:42Richard Greaser the information properly. And, I mean, it's part of the reason I I think, like, you know, people like Elderberry, they they don't listen to forty hours Jack Crews podcast a week. So they're just they're not aware of these things. And and if they did, I mean, I I think he probably gets frustrated having to explain the cliff notes to people of what's going on.

33:07Richard Greaser You know what I mean? And I kinda Well, I doubt it. Sometimes. Like, I I just I don't wanna keep on rehashing these ideas for people that that don't put in the proof of work. If you're if you're not listening, then I don't have time to sit down and mansplain everything to you over and over again.

33:26Rod Palmer Yeah. And that also goes for some of the people out there. Think about if you're a podcaster or you have a YouTube channel, think about the YouTube thumbnails you're using. Think about the headlines or the titles for your podcast or your videos that you're using. Think about the bullet points

33:45Rod Palmer that people are going to come to people like myself, go to people like Richard or, you know, any of you forty hours per week listeners out there. People are gonna know they're gonna see these sensational headlines and these sensational, cliff you know, these bookmarks and cliff notes, and they're gonna ask us about it. And then we have to explain. It's like, no. No. No. That sounds crazy, but this is why it's actually a thermodynamically sound, idea. But,

34:12Rod Palmer you know, it's it's just really hard to explain when it's so sensational or you just said, why is this greasy towel belly guy telling me to take all these crazy pills? It's like, well, listen. Listen. It's good for you. It's good for you, but you have to listen to forty hours

34:28Richard Greaser of this guy's podcast for you to understand why. Totally. Yeah. I mean, it's like when, Jerry Calvrone is talking about the wonders of Scientology, for example. His his brother, Brandt, is gonna be talking at the Bitcoin conference. Fun facts. So there's gonna be some, Scientology presence, which I think is, Hell yeah. Positive. I mean, I think the great thing, you know, Scientology, a lot of people complain about it because,

34:58Richard Greaser it's expensive. And a lot of people, they they can't afford their Scientology and their taxes at the same time. And the the Church of Scientology, this is an ongoing I I don't know why these guys, they go off about this so much, but they constantly talk about the how the Church of Scientology doesn't,

35:19Richard Greaser pay taxes. But they're, all the churches don't pay taxes. I mean, that's part of religious freedoms in The US. And, but that's that's something the libs like to go on and on about. Like, it's like it's some sort of, like, gotcha. Like, oh, you don't pay your taxes. But, like, you know, a lot of critics of Scientology, they they criticize it because the, the actual, like, church members, have trouble paying taxes. But that's why it's so great that,

35:49Richard Greaser the Scientologists are starting to come to the Bitcoin conference is because that's not an issue at the Bitcoin conference because people listen to, enough podcast to be able to afford their taxes. It's not a it's not a problem in this ecosystem. So they can they can afford their, their Scientology fees, in order

36:10Richard Greaser to get their, spiritual direction that they need in life. And I I think that's a that's a good thing. It's, I I think onboarding Scientology, I've been I've been kinda critical of Jerry and and Brandt, Cal Brown, because they have yet to orange pill Scientology even though they're

36:29Richard Greaser the orange pillars. And it you know, if you're if you're a Bitcoiner and you haven't orange peeled your church yet, I think it's a really serious thing that you should take to heart. Like, you should be out there. You should be talking to your pastors. You should be talking to your church leadership. I think they should be having, I've yet to see any Scientology Bitcoin podcast yet, which I think is disappointing. I think that would be pretty cool. I think David Miscavige

36:56Richard Greaser starting a Bitcoin podcast would be, you know, really, really bullish. But I'm excited about that. I mean, do you do you think you're gonna are you gonna do, auditing session in Vegas? Do you think they're gonna be offering that at the conference? I don't know. I I

37:13Rod Palmer I had to first stay away from the Scientologists, just because I did I just don't respect I mean, they do make some pretty good they have some good actors, and there's some good movies that Scientologists, are behind. But I I still think that,

37:31Rod Palmer the Jews make better movies in Hollywood, so I'd rather I'd rather spend my time around Jews in Vegas than Scientologists. I think it's just a better way to spend my time. They're better about show business. They're better with money. They're better with a lot of things. And, I just there's more to learn from the Jews than than there is from the Scientologist. If I'm if I'm if I'm on Twitter and I'm looking at a choice between two spaces

37:56Rod Palmer or, you know, two rooms on Clubhouse. One that's being, hosted by a Scientologist, one that's being hosted by a Jew. I I just I'm most I'm more interested in going to the space hosted by the Jew. I think there's just more signal there. And I think that they have a better understanding of what is money, what is entertainment, what is beauty, Who are who are hot women that should be in movies? I just I think that they have a

38:21Rod Palmer it's a more thermodynamically sound approach to the the the protocol of life.

38:26Richard Greaser Well, yeah. That that's an interesting framing and kind of comparison. And I I don't even think that's it's much of a I don't think it's a fair comparison because yeah. I mean, we all know that the Jews are better at everything than the Scientologist at the end of the day. Like, even the Scientologist admit this because they, like, they got their religious exemption from the IRS by using Jewish lawyers. And they use Jewish accountants. They use they like, I think they feel the same way. I think they think the Jews are better than Scientologists

39:01Richard Greaser as well.

39:03Rod Palmer That's a good point. So but It's only that. It's just me a bit of it. It's like shit corners. It's like people who say that, yes, Bitcoin is more secure network. Bitcoin is the long term value. But I'm still interested in these, you know, these doodads and these little contracts and these, you know, experiments that they're doing on on this shit shitcoin chain on this other Blockchain. It's proof of Stake chain. And it's like, alright, like, I'm not I'm not gonna judge you if that's how you feel as long as you understand that like Bitcoin is still the the base chain for everything. But it's just I would rather listen to Bitcoin podcast than experiment with shit coin podcast.

39:43Rod Palmer So if I'm hanging out with people in Vegas, I'd rather hang out with Jews than than Scientologists. I don't think there's I don't think Scientologists can't have interesting parties. I don't think that Scientologists can't have interesting discussions or podcasts. I just think that, you know,

39:59Richard Greaser there's no there's no value for that for me. It's definitely something that I wanna pay attention to and report on is, are there gonna be high profile of Scientologists there? Is there gonna be, is Tom Cruise gonna be there? Is David McCat Miscavige gonna be there? We know that, the Cal Burns will be there. It'll be interesting. No.

40:21Rod Palmer I I wish somebody would make, like, a dominance a dominance chart. One of the of the Bitcoin dominance chart. I wish they would have one for religion. Like, which one is a Christianity? Is Judaism? Is it Islam? We always saw Scientology, but it would be Scientology would be somewhere on on the chart. But it's like, what is the the influence or the value of, like, Judaism to Christianity to Islam?

40:42Richard Greaser Like, what are the what are those rankings? And where are they historically? Definitely. Well, one of the things that I was tweeting about this week is I I do think that, one thing that we're gonna see this year is that Bitcoin maximalism will become a dominant world religion, and will be viewed alongside,

41:04Richard Greaser other dominant world religions like Judaism and Islam. And I think that's something that we're gonna see from this conference. And and that's kinda one of the the things that I think will be interesting is, you know, there there's, like I mean, you don't really see Christian Muslims. You know what I mean? You don't see, you do see Jewish Christians, you know, because the thing about, Judaism is or

41:31Richard Greaser it it's it's not just a religion. It's it's also an ethnic group. I'm pretty sure there's probably Jewish Muslims, but I I just haven't really heard of that. I think both of those, groups are oftentimes kind of opposed to each other, but we know there's a bunch of Muslims in Israel, for example, that are probably Israeli citizens. But is there ever going to be kind of

41:60Richard Greaser a tension between Bitcoin maximalism and the other major religions? I don't know. Well,

42:06Rod Palmer yeah, that it's will it come down to a war? Will, you know, who and who will fight for which side because it's like, you know, in the civil war, you had people like cousins, brothers, people of their own family and some of these areas kind of in the middle of the boundary,

42:24Rod Palmer they're fighting against each other. And it's like you might have Christians who that cross the chasm and they fight for Bitcoin. You might have Bitcoiners who are like, I think Christianity is more important. He's might have some of these battles, and it it was just substitute Christianity for Judaism, a substitute, Christianity for Buddhism, just depending on on

42:47Rod Palmer which meetup you go to around the world. It definitely is a very nuanced

42:52Richard Greaser topic, and I know there's a lot of people with a lot of differing views, and and we'll have to see. Do you know, is there gonna be a thank God for Bitcoin event this year? I I haven't heard anything about it. Let me look that up. That's interesting. I wonder if,

43:07Rod Palmer Breedlove will be attending. He's common at those. Is Breedlove gonna be eating,

43:12Richard Greaser bull testicles

43:13Rod Palmer at the thank God for Bitcoin? Oh, yeah. Of course this year. It looks like, no, the latest one is for 2024. So there's nothing about Vegas on their website right now. So I doubt it. Could that be indicative that,

43:30Richard Greaser many of the Christian Bitcoiners are are substituting Christianity for Bitcoin maximalism as their, kind of Interesting. Interesting. Yeah.

43:41Rod Palmer The activity around some of these Christian Bitcoin podcast, Christian Bitcoin, you know,

43:50Rod Palmer movements, nonprofits, educational things. It seems like their activity on the timeline is decreased. And it it's almost like Christianity was a, like, a a gateway religion into Bitcoin maximalism.

44:04Richard Greaser Well, that's pretty much what I got from reading reading their book. Did you ever read that book? Thank God for Bitcoin?

44:11Rod Palmer No. I didn't read it. No. Or, did they have a book or was this just a podcast for Thank God for Noister? Yeah. It was a book. They they wrote a book.

44:20Richard Greaser Robert Breedlove was one of the main authors. It was like Robert Breedlove and Jimmy Song and, Jordan Bush and, what's her name? Julia Tarinsky? She the, goose poster?

44:37Richard Greaser Goose lady?

44:39Rod Palmer Oh, yeah. Interesting. I know. I never read that book. Do they have Guy Swan,

44:46Richard Greaser they quit Audible version? That's a good question. I'll I don't know. Probably. I know Walker's been trying to, challenge Guy Swan

44:57Rod Palmer as being the premier audiobook guy. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Interesting. I mean, it seems like guys kinda more interested these days in AI artificial intelligence. So maybe he's just moved on to to that and and Walker kind of could take over. Now this is interesting. So in the mining industry, this just floated

45:19Richard Greaser floated thought in my head. One of one of the things that it seems like a lot of the Bitcoin miners have been doing is they've been pivoting away from mining as much into a few things. They're they're Bitcoin buyers, so they're trying to copy Michael Saylor. So Jack Mallers and maybe this is a good segue into the next, Yeah. Yeah. We're gonna talk about. But Jack Mallers is, running a copycat company of MicroStrategy, with Tether.

45:46Richard Greaser So they're they're also trying to use, dollars to make Bitcoin stronger. They're they're following Corey's, failed attempt at doing that. And, now my question before we get too much into that topic, Rod, is, are the Bitaxers

46:06Richard Greaser are they eventually gonna pivot into AI in the same way the Bitcoin miners are? That'd be interesting to have, like, a a Bitax

46:13Rod Palmer GPU farm. It would be it would be huge. It would help power some of the decentralized they could help power some of these decentralized open source, AI models, or they could just basically sell

46:30Rod Palmer their hash or whatever their compute to, you know, to the bit to OpenAI or to Google Gemini. Be interesting. I well, do you have a take on it? Well, I think Guy Swan is definitely

46:45Richard Greaser kind of a leading indicator of these types of trends. He's been a very, influential and progressive guy in the industry for a long time. And so he's pivoted, which means that, you know, the bit axers, I I would say they're they're kinda late to the party. You know what I mean?

47:04Richard Greaser They just recently started getting into the mix, with this project. There's there's been other things that have been going for a while, but I do know that the start nine has some AI functionality on it, so that you can run your own local self hosted, AI on there. So I think that the groundwork

47:26Richard Greaser is being laid for the BitAxers to it it's it's a very similar mission. It's, you know, the BitAxers, they wanna decentralize, mining compute,

47:40Richard Greaser And, I don't see why they're wanting to decentralize AI compute too.

47:46Rod Palmer Yeah. I mean, it's it's you have, like, the homesteaders who are, like, they try to be very self sufficient. And being able to have a start you know, have a homestead, use

47:58Rod Palmer ASICs Bitcoin miners to, you know, try your to heat your boiling for your maple syrup, to dry your marijuana leaves, to heat your cabin, and to use, like, you know, bid access for being able to run the compute so you can have self sustained compute for your AI models, on your homesteads. So you don't have to connect to the cloud and use Google. You can be self sufficient. So that's, you know, and then you have your you can have your three d printer. You can make three d you could three d print cruise. It's creating. You can three d print guns. You can three d print tallow.

48:36Rod Palmer It's you know, if you don't have cows, it's it'll be incredible. But to tether this you know, no pun intended. Tether this back to the, the Jack Mallers news. It the these miners, whether they pivot to doing AI compute or they pivot to buying Bitcoin,

48:58Rod Palmer the big news is definitely that they're pivoting to buy Bitcoin here because what happened was Jack Mallers he comes out and makes his announcement. He's announces he's now a soup coiner. He's basically gonna challenge Michael Sailor. He's gonna be talking and making up new acronyms like and now Bitcoins per share things like that. And

49:19Rod Palmer but when he came out of his suit, he finally took off his hoodie and we saw that he had been concealing his broccoli haircut from us this whole time. And a lot of people you know, it's not legal to have a broccoli haircut, but it tells you a lot about a person. So a lot of us had just gotten to know Jack Jack Mallers, and we didn't realize he was a broccoli haircut. But worst of all, he's a broccoli haircut now in a suit. And I've talked about how I thought the broccoli haircuts were gonna leverage AI to leap past millennials and Gen X and take over all the wealth from the boomers and to call it like to use AI to to accumulate it all.

49:58Rod Palmer But But we can think we had to worry about that so soon. We thought May's 10 down the road, kinda like quantum computing. It's like it's gonna be a problem. We'll fumble hard fork in thirty years. In ten years, we thought we could deal with the broccoli haircut at suits, The broccoli haircut at suit coiners ten years from now, but now it's too late. There there already is one, and he's got 40, you know, 2,000 Bitcoin being seeded by Cantor Fitzgerald. Tether's got Bitcoin. They've got a lot of mining.

50:30Rod Palmer This this Broccoli haircuted Zoomer he's not a Zoomer, but he's a Broccoli haircut and his Seedcoiner. What what kind of risk does that add to the network? Some people like Plater, they're saying this is an attack on Bitcoin. And if you look at it through this lens, it could be perceived as such. It it definitely poses a risk, and I it it's a risk that I think most of us are feeling blindsided by. Like, we we were not

50:54Richard Greaser We ran the game theory over and over again. But the problem with running simulations on a pet potential attack vectors is that 99% of the time, the way that reality plays out is not the way that you planned for. And so,

51:11Richard Greaser what we have to be is we have to be dynamic, we have to be, flexible with our projections, with our strategies, and I do think it's a major concern. I I find this to be a very concerning development

51:26Richard Greaser that, Jack Mallers is rocking a broccoli haircut. And not only that, that that Tether thinks it's in Cantor Fitzgerald think that it's responsible to have a CEO of their company with a broccoli haircut. I think that that is very, very concerning,

51:46Richard Greaser to me. And it it really quite makes me question their decision making capabilities. And if we if we have people that don't have sound decision making capabilities

51:60Richard Greaser holding this much Bitcoin and running these these very profitable companies, I'm bearish for Yeah. Future. And Not entirely.

52:11Rod Palmer The and the the tie time is running out to podcast about this. You know, Mark Goodwin's been ahead of this. Look at Mark Goodwin's tweets. He's he's got a lot of warnings about why this is not a positive development that many people seem to believe that it is. But

52:31Rod Palmer there's still time to to educate people and want them know that it's time to be a little bit concerned, and it's just time to take preparation to mitigate some of these risks. And 04/21, which is the name of their new venture, successfully completes changing all the strike emojis on the GIFs on the strike watermarks on the GIFs, all the Giphy Bitcoin GIFs on Twitter to the new 21

52:57Rod Palmer splash mark. Because once the once the watermark memes are proliferated throughout the use on Twitter, it's gonna be nearly impossible to convince people that that 21 poses this potential risk, and it's the risk of the broccoli haircut CEO. Maybe on the CIA, or maybe that's the new symbol of the broccoli haircut. I don't know. I'm worried.

53:21Richard Greaser I'm not like I don't think it's gonna be catastrophic, but I I do think like, we we should have known from looking at Sam Bankman Fried's floppy haircut, his you know, a lot of people, like, the the one positive thing about Jack Mallers is he's deciding to wear a suit. But

53:43Richard Greaser when we were watching Sam Bankman Fried running around in basketball shorts and a t shirt last cycle, That should have thrown up some major alarm bells.

53:52Rod Palmer Here's the thing. We we see Sam Bankman Fried's chufro, and that's a warning. It's a warning from nature that that that, be wary of this guy's, you know, exchange. But the broccoli haircut

54:07Rod Palmer is kind of like it's kinda like that fro in disguise. But now but, you know, to look for it. It's like you see a Sam being in Fried or Jack Mallers, which is the the fro with the cut on the sides. Red flags just go up for you. There's there's there's always people behind the guy with the whether it's the full broccoli haircut or, you know, just the

54:32Richard Greaser the but you the the military grade broccoli haircut. The high and tight broccoli haircut. I think right now it's it's important to have your, just to be suspicious, to be asking a lot of questions, to be poking around, to,

54:45Rod Palmer Just yeah. Just just be on the lookout and be ready to notice broccoli haircuts.

54:51Richard Greaser Just notice them. Yeah. There there's been a general lack of scrutiny on Michael Sailor. Nobody's really asked him to actually prove that he has the Bitcoin that he has to to actually, you know, try and audit him. And I don't think we should

55:09Richard Greaser give Jack Mallers the same treatment, you know. And part of the reason why I don't think Michael Sailor has gotten that scrutiny is because he does wear a suit, and he has an adult haircut, whereas Mallers doesn't. And we need to be we I I think it's important as a community to not just, like, allow another, say, embankment free to run wild

55:32Richard Greaser and and totally shit on our cycle. Like, you it's, these are the types of things that could could totally prevent the god candle from happening. It's, you know, we read about this all the time in in

55:48Richard Greaser the bible, you know, in the old testament. I I feel like the broccoli haircut is kinda like the golden calf. You worship the guy with the broccoli haircut. You're worshiping the golden calf, and God God is going to respond with his wrath. And he's going to bring a bear market like no other.

56:09Richard Greaser It's gonna be devastating. We're gonna be back at fifty one eight or fifty eight k because of broccoli haircuts. If if people practice this type of, idolatry with Jack Mallers. But I think it can be mitigated. Or this

56:28Richard Greaser you know, a lot a lot about what Bitcoin is is risk mitigation. This is something that, Pierre Morgan talk about on their podcast. They talk about risk mitigation a lot. And scrutiny, asking questions,

56:45Richard Greaser occasionally using a a a mean tweet, that's a that's a good way to mitigate some risk. And I would implore listeners to just, you know, have their brains turned on, be asking questions,

57:01Richard Greaser be asking a lot of questions. Maybe maybe we shouldn't give Jack Mallers the same pass that we've given Michael Sailor be until he cuts his care, until he has a grown up haircut.

57:15Rod Palmer Yeah. If you wanna if you wanna be taken, sir, you know, this goes to Tether as well. Tether's really trying to improve their reputation and kind of set the stage. They're they're serious company who cares about the risks to the systemic system. If you want if you wanna be taken seriously like that, you have to prove it to us. If you wanna be taken seriously, put on a suit, cut your hair,

57:42Rod Palmer throw the the, you know, the cargo shorts, take those to goodwill

57:49Richard Greaser and and and show us that you're serious. Yeah. We're not playing games here. This this is, some pretty serious stuff. And, yeah. Well, you got any, closing thoughts before we head over to the

58:07Rod Palmer the fountain bush? No. I'll take so. I think, it's a good episode. Good talk. I think that, if you wanna if you wanna if you wanna work with us, you wanna connect in Vegas, start making plans now because it's a hectic time when you get to Vegas to to try to connect. And also,

58:30Rod Palmer other news, check out, orangelabel.co. You just added some more t shirts. We got, two or three new when Alden is hot,

58:42Rod Palmer designs as well as the entropy of a Bitcoin podcast entropy t shirt. So check those out. It'd be awesome to see forty hour per week, when Alden is hot, whatever,

58:56Richard Greaser pledge zone parade between each other, those t shirts out in the wild in Vegas. Yeah. I guess one of the things let's look at the this transaction fees are pretty low right now. We're at three sets of eBuy right now, and I wouldn't I wouldn't plan on the transaction fees being low in Vegas. And one of the things that we're gonna be doing, we're gonna be selling stuff in Vegas. You're gonna have the opportunity to buy non KYC cigarettes from me. I'm gonna be,

59:23Richard Greaser autographing signs or sorry, packs of Marlboro Reds. We're gonna be selling t shirts. Potentially, we could be autographing t shirts for people if people want that. But the fees might spike, you know, because there might be some major, major announcements. David Bailey, he's gonna bring some pretty big announcements. That's what I'm predicting.

59:46Richard Greaser For the conference, some bullish announcements. The fees could be spiking. And so if you're going there planning on buying stuff on chain, maybe now is the time to open some lightning channels,

1:00:01Richard Greaser make sure you have enough outbound liquidity, and I'm kind of in the same boat right now where I might have to increase my my inbound liquidity and, do some channel rebalancing in preparation for potentially a high fee environment. We'll we'll see see if anything comes from the ordinals conference. The ordinals people, they're gonna be trying to spike the fees,

1:00:22Richard Greaser by spamming the network.

1:00:25Rod Palmer And for those of you who barely understand what he's talking about or why he has to do that, You still have time to watch forty hours, BTC sessions, lightning node tutorials. So you can get this set up and you can actually do lightning transactions from your own lightning node from your own channels

1:00:44Rod Palmer on Zeus or Phoenix or some of these other wallets. So, hit on that because you might want back of smokes, gone k y c smokes. Well, that's part of the revolution, and the revolution won't have to do so you gotta be prepared. One of the other challenges too is,

1:01:01Richard Greaser if you're banking on using your custodial lightning wallet because you don't wanna deal with channel management whatsoever, check and see if Vegas is a or Nevada is a a friendly location because I know some of these custodial lightning wallets, they will not let you use your serve their services in certain states. We experienced this in Florida, with Zebedee.

1:01:28Richard Greaser And that's kind of a bummer when you go to a Bitcoin conference and you're planning on using transactional or sorry, custodial lightning. And, now you're having to figure out how to download a VPN just to be able to send a custodial lightning transaction. There's there's gonna be a lot of challenges, so just make sure to to game plan

1:01:49Richard Greaser beforehand. And I I would say, you know, for the person listening that says, well, I'm not gonna spend any Bitcoin at the conference. Like, well, the whole point of going to a conference is to spend Bitcoin. We're gonna give you compelling reasons to spend Bitcoin. We want you to give us Bitcoin,

1:02:10Richard Greaser and, we're gonna give a compelling reason why. But yeah. Just game plan these these things ahead. The the revolution will not have good UX. If you wanna participate in the revolution, game plan for bad UX. Think think about these things ahead of time instead of trying to figure it out last minute there. Because last thing I wanna deal with when I'm trying to sell a T shirt or sell sell some cigarettes is for you to figure out be figuring out your,

1:02:39Richard Greaser what's going on with your lightning. I don't wanna deal with it. Yeah. Let's get to the beers. So last week's episode was Easter. It was the Easter special. Episode 56 of the Bugle Weekly. It's crazy. It feels like the year episode we did was so long ago, but that was only that was only, like, five weeks ago

1:03:04Richard Greaser or six weeks ago. So we're, like, six weeks in the new year. No. We're longer than that. Yeah. Yeah. Our our year doesn't match up with the year. That's right. That's why I'm confused. Okay. So 18,863

1:03:22Richard Greaser sats for this episode. Late stage HODL, 10,000 sats. Keep growing, dick. I really love hearing about you, dick and you. Rod growing huge and strong.

1:03:35Richard Greaser Just throbbing against the system like Hank Reardon. Really like showing the world what it means to grease and palm those podcast mics. What that means to the little guys in the world, like those in The UK smoking their fags in private while you, American chain smoke all the fags you can in public. So it sounds like The UK is a a pretty unfriendly jurisdiction towards smokers. That's sad. I mean,

1:04:00Rod Palmer there's there's a lot of reasons to need to go out, step outside, and and smoke a cigarette and just fucking take some time. You can't he had there's no free speech. You can't post memes. Everybody's got gross teeth because they don't brush their teeth.

1:04:17Rod Palmer It's the food sucks. The beer is warm. It's always cloudy. Can't even have a cigarette. In peace. What the fuck?

1:04:28Richard Greaser You can't post,

1:04:29Rod Palmer edgy memes. You'll go to jail. Alright. Post an edgy meme. Yeah. That that's why that's why Max, right, he got out of,

1:04:37Richard Greaser he got out of the he got off the island from my government misfits. Yeah. I mean, like, one of the other things that sucks about The UK is, like, you know, when we know that the royalty in engages in pedophilia and, I mean, the the American democratically elected leaders do that too. But the the nice thing about,

1:04:60Richard Greaser The US and and the way that democracy works is at least the people are putting the pedophiles in in power, and they have a little bit of control with it. But you're you're just kinda stuck with your, with the royal family in The UK. There's nothing you can really do about it. You know what I mean?

1:05:15Rod Palmer Right. It that's when you have a system like that where you have these monarchs and these royal families who you didn't nobody voted for and they're pedophiles and it, you know, it gets out and there's like a very obvious, you know, like Prince Andrew,

1:05:33Rod Palmer hanging out with Epstein. It's yeah. It's where you have to block memes because there's a lot some of the most pop popular memes are Epstein memes. So you just have to clamp down on it so you don't hurt the

1:05:44Richard Greaser royal family's feelings. It's just really a sad state of affairs, and I feel I feel bad. Well, I don't feel that bad for British people because they they all talk wrong. They can change that if they want to. They could they could speak real English and talk like Americans. They they could go and learn how to speak real English, and they choose not to. They're making their own bed.

1:06:09Richard Greaser It's their fault. You know, when your when your government when your government makes making memes illegal, you can't make fun of the royal family, or you can't you can't say edgy things. The solution to that is to to meme adversarially. It's not it's not to roll over.

1:06:28Richard Greaser And,

1:06:29Rod Palmer like Yeah. It comp compliance has its limits. And when it is the when the compliance requires you to be

1:06:42Rod Palmer complicit with pedophilia, even to the point where you can't even make a meme about it. You meet The US did it with the Tea Party. You need to do it they have a meme party. You do, like, have a meme party in London and can just plaster memes all over Buckingham Palace. I don't know. You guys gotta figure it out. Maybe if you didn't eat fucking bloody, you know, intestines and beans for breakfast.

1:07:09Rod Palmer You wouldn't have such bad breath and people would actually wanna gather and, you know, have a meme party. But thank you for the stats anyway. The next one is from Q. That's a looks like we got to boost another duplicate from Q, but you basically thousand sats said great content, Richard. You made a remark that, this episode about Zins being a shitcoin or trait.

1:07:33Rod Palmer I'd like to ask you to clarify because I've been cutting back a bit on smoke of cigarettes, so I have more breath in the chin and can squat two twenty five someday. The gym is one of the main places I get my forty hours per week. However, if Zinn is a fake a fiat shit coin habit, thick chic shit or habit, what should I do? Maybe I just smoke, on the way back from the gym as a reward?

1:07:56Richard Greaser What do you think? Well, I think there's a pretty, simple and I I commented on this. I like, I I tore normally don't comment on people's boost, but I I felt like I didn't want them to wait a week for, you know, some pretty sound advice. And, you know, what real men do is they they chew tobacco. If you if you have a concern about smoking, then you chew tobacco. You don't choose Zins. Zins are like the vaping version of chewing tobacco. And this is a very strange trend that's happening in the Bitcoin ecosystem. People are choosing to

1:08:33Richard Greaser do zen instead of smoke and instead of chewing tobacco. And, you know, if you've never chewed tobacco before, my favorite brand of chewing tobacco is Copenhagen.

1:08:47Richard Greaser And I just found a new type of Copenhagen. They don't carry it everywhere, so sometimes you have to go searching for it. But it's, Copenhagen Reserve long cut, and, it's an interesting one. It's got it's got, like, a white, tin. So if you're looking

1:09:09Richard Greaser and you're confusing the person that your tobacco dealer, ask for the white tin of the Copenhagen Reserve. They they probably don't have it because they don't carry it everywhere. You have to you have to go searching for a little bit. But this stuff is, it take it kinda tastes like root beer. It's interesting, but it's not it's not gross like Skoll. If you're choosing if you're chewing Skoll, Skoll is, like, the grossest shit in the world, and, you're you're a shit coiner for chewing chewing Skoll. But when you're in the gym,

1:09:40Richard Greaser you should be chewing tobacco, in my opinion.

1:09:43Rod Palmer Yeah. My my recommendation is just the red man, the, good old fashioned stuff you actually chew on. There's more spit. There's more saliva that but, you know, you're in the gym. So what people don't realize is that if you swallow, you're chewing tobacco spit, it actually operate like it helps you. It's like as good as creatine and helping you get extra, extra reps, extra strength. It really improves your gym performance when you swallow spit.

1:10:10Richard Greaser Yeah. It kinda depends on what type of gym you're going to as well. So, like, I mean, if you're going to, first of all, never go to a Planet Fitness. If you're going to Planet Fitness, everybody there vapes. You don't wanna be around that beta soy energy. The the the spike proteins are gonna get all over you if you go to Planet Fitness. It's just guaranteed. Never go to Planet Fitness. Absolutely. But, like, the red Redman is more of, like, a,

1:10:37Richard Greaser like, a power lifter gym. You know what I mean? In the power lifter gyms, you've got, like, all the the super old ancient weights. You've got, like, these old men taking, a lot of testosterone. Their joints don't really work, but they they can dead lift 800 pounds. It's pretty wild. Arthritis

1:10:58Richard Greaser ridden men, but they could deadlift 800 pounds. And they're they're just chewing red men, just spinning right on the floor, on the concrete. But if you're more like

1:11:08Rod Palmer Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Because red man is tough, you know. If if you're not the type of guy who is gonna have his spine fused together in four different places and, like, not able to wipe his own ass with his left hand, and still gonna work out every day. Red neon's probably not for you. It's like you you maybe you just need, you know, some skull berry blend. It's like a CrossFit gym.

1:11:36Rod Palmer But, you know, it's light it up with your with your with your archetype, with your gym archetype, power lifters, fuse spines, thread man, Copenhagen. That's gonna be for, you know, jujitsu, gyms, Muay Thai gyms, you know, stuff where people are doing functional strength and you got some, you know, Skoll Longcut or some Grizzly Wintergreen.

1:11:59Rod Palmer Those guys might just be deadlifting with their bare feet. Maybe some of those guys, you know, they're trying to lift that lift that, that bar and their their tallow guts get in the way. Those are kinda like Grizzly winner to you guys. It's it's all a spectrum. So do it's, do what makes more sense for you. Yeah. Gri Grizzly,

1:12:18Richard Greaser I'd give you a pass if you cheer Grizzly, but Copenhagen is kinda like the Marlboro of chewing tobacco, in my opinion. Well, anyways, thank you for the boost queue. I hope you, made the right decision there and you quit your stupid zines. Beta energy. Pink money monkey, 500 stats. No comment. Thank you, pink monkey. Looks like a double boost from pink monkey. Why does the bar and keep on doing double boost? What's up with this?

1:12:47Rod Palmer I don't know. It's just, it's probably a marketing tactic to make you think that you're more boosts. The final list from Old Faith will be to see on board. That'll enhance four CTV. There's the 300 sets. Two thumbs up. Thank you. BGC on board.

1:13:06Rod Palmer Yeah. That was those were all in our boosts. The the the show is about truckers, and we'll probably, meet out the show with the new song, Trucking Down the Rabbit Hole. It's a trucker song. So we'll we'll we'll Orange Midland truckers forty hours per week. Get your forty hours per weekend before the weekend.

1:13:29Richard Greaser Yeah. One one of the things I did want to address before we wrap up the show real quick is, with the conference coming up, not everybody comes to the conference, which is fine. I I get

1:13:43Richard Greaser it. Not everybody has a compelling reason to go and, to, semi docs themselves to the the feds that are gonna be there. I won't knock you for that if you don't feel great about that. A lot of people care about their OPSEC. But one of the trends that happens every year, it's like the Super Bowl for people that

1:14:03Richard Greaser wanna shit on how terrible the conference is. So what they do is they, like, you know, most of the people that go to the conference, for what I've seen, they don't actually listen to any of the talks. I typically don't listen to any of the talks. I'm just hanging out with people. I'm hanging out with Bitcoin podcasters the whole time and Bitcoin podcast listeners. But there's a segment of the population that likes to sit on the sidelines and just criticize how terrible they think the conference is every year. They don't go, and they just complain about the conference. It's like their Super Bowl. They look forward to complaining about the conference. You got any thoughts

1:14:40Richard Greaser on that or any comments for these people, Rod?

1:14:44Rod Palmer Yeah. Yeah. It's the I mean, somebody's gotta watch the livestream. Not everybody can go. Not everybody can afford tickets. Not everybody, you know, not everybody's prepared to stand behind some of the things they said on on Twitter. If a Bitcoin broadcaster influencer confronts them,

1:15:06Rod Palmer you know, and some of them just like to, you know, there's they like to criticize the man in the arena instead of being the man in the arena themselves. But like I said, people have sponsors. But why is the live stream? It needs viewers so the sponsors can pay

1:15:26Rod Palmer for, you know, the men in the arena. And it is it is those people who who pay those bills. Some people are just they are it's like a you know, I heard somebody say once that they look at herpes the way that a skateboarder looks at a sprained ankle. It means that he was participating, you know, in this revolution to separate money from city. He wasn't just a spectator.

1:15:51Rod Palmer And sometimes the conference is a little crazy and wacky, but, you know, it's not for everybody. Some people are just spectators, and some people are builders. They're doers. They're podcasters. You know, it's just each person has to decide for themselves who they are. The support characters in the story. Right. Like, the the non you know, the NPCs. You know what I mean? The non participating

1:16:15Rod Palmer characters.

1:16:17Richard Greaser The part time podcast listeners. Well, I look forward to seeing, all the rain per usual, from the people sitting on the sidelines. But, anyways, thank you everybody for tuning into this

1:16:32Richard Greaser special episode of the vehicle weekly. Make sure to thank a trucker. Go out there. Thank a trucker. They are the reason that you're listening to podcasts. They delivered you the gear. They're the ones that that make the world go round. Things don't teleport to grocery stores. Truckers drive things to grocery stores. So make sure to get out there. Go shake a trucker's hand. You know a trucker, go over to his house. Go buy his wife some lasagna or something. Go deliver like a pie to a trucker

1:17:03Richard Greaser and, and thank them for all they do for our society. It's a it's a tough time out there for truckers. Truckers need Bitcoin. They need they need Bitcoin podcasts. They're they're listening to Bitcoin podcasts, but not enough of them are. And we need to onboard more. So make sure to to thank them because they're the reason why there's food on your table.
