Tez word, yeah, like squid word, but Tez.
We haven't spoken in ages.
I feel like I'm a completely different man than when we last spoke.
Why did you get laid for the first time?
Yeah, I mean, you're in Florida.
I don't think that's a secret because you tweeted it.
It's fucking hot, dude. It's, uh...
Yeah, and I'm house-sitting down here,
so I get to have a little cat and a little dog to take care of.
I don't know if you heard.
The cat, every time you touch it, he just...
But yeah, no, just chilling.
Actually, you would enjoy this.
I went on a walk yesterday, and I saw some big-ass bugs, some big-ass grasshoppers, and it reminded me of Australia.
And I was like, yeah, I'm talking, these grasshoppers
were like five inches long,
That could knock you over.
and I saw like a little squadron of them.
There was like six of them,
like all like in this one little area.
Like they were prepping something, man.
I've actually been, I don't know if I ever told you this.
I went there when I was 15 to Florida.
To Orlando and to some of the theme parks.
I went to Miami last year for Art Basel um the
traffic sucks and honestly Florida has the absolute worst drivers in the entire country
just so you know it's we don't all we don't all drive like this uh Miami's the worst like where
I'm at now it's not so bad but Florida drivers are just...
I mean, you thought bears were low IQ.
What do you guys call them?
That was one of his two songs.
I think that was Flo Rida.
Maybe I'm getting mixed up with another one-hit wonder.
I look forward to revisiting Florida.
That was the correct order, but you had all the words
So you were like 90% there.
It was a mash-up. It was a remix.
No, because GTA 6 is set in Florida, right?
Yeah, I have to play that.
Do we actually think it's going to come out,
or is it just going to be like every year they just tease us with it?
They're just waiting to see how long until we all pick up on it.
It's a social experiment, yeah.
They took a play out of Baritone's book for real.
And everyone was like, where's Half-Life 3?
And then they just kind of released that VR one
and everyone was like, yeah. And then that was kind of it. If anyone else played Half-Life 3 and everyone was like, where's Half-Life 3? And then they just kind of released that VR one and everyone was like, yeah. And then that was kind of it. If anyone
else played Half-Life, maybe you guys didn't. I did play Half-Life, but I was never like
one of those guys, like the big Half-Life guys. Sure. Fair enough.
I know we don't normally talk a lot of bear chain,
but should we catch up on a few bear chain things while we're here real quick?
I mean, since we're here,
we may as well talk about the chain with the bears.
Oh, is that shit still going?
Yeah, I mean, it seems to be for now.
Oh, I thought we were all pivoting to Hyperliquid.
Oh, Omega Ace. No, yeah, it's still going.
I mean, actually, what's the latest on blockchain? I'm curious to know. Is there any word on blockchain?
Oh, thank you so much for teeing that up.
We actually have something cool. I think it's next
week. We have an integration
spoil it because then that would ruin the surprise.
But yeah, we've been working on
getting something else on our testnet.
It's just testnet, sorry. I shouldn't
hype it up too much. It's not mainnet.
I don't think it makes a lot of sense for an L2 to be released when the L1 is...
You're not pivoting to hyper-equivalent.
Yeah, no, it's actually...
We're going to be an L3 on MegaEath.
We've decided that an L3...3 we might be an l4 uh we'll go for on uh
dgen that l3 on base it might be an l4.2 pretty funny um but yeah no that's that's kind of the
latest update is just we got our test net um i think i don't know sometimes the freaking what's
The faucet doesn't work for some people.
So I think we're still trying to get that fully functional.
But it should be working.
Worst case, I'll just send you some if you need some.
That's nostalgic, going back to testnet.
I should, yeah. Can we get the Sprotties onto to testnet. It's been a while. I should, yeah.
Can we get the Sprotties onto the testnet maybe somehow?
Do you guys have an NFT? I can't speak too much on that at the moment,
whether or not that's the newest integration.
We can talk about it, though.
I think there might be an option
it's like the whole airdrop thing
we'll just have to get a dev dude
we just gotta get someone that knows what they're doing
but yeah we probably could
if you wanted to bring them over
so people could actually see them again
I still get some replies like when's broadcast and it's
like well there's still a thing like it's still there they're just do you know what i did not
anticipate there to be a secondary market for them because there was a minute when when fairer hype
was was white hot and those sprodies which i thought would just be free forever because they
existed on testnet they were selling for like hundreds of dollars five hundred dollars six hundred dollars maybe more
at the time and um and i didn't think that i didn't that didn't cross my mind that would
actually happen and then people got annoyed when when testnet kind of shut down and they're all
just kind of frozen in the blocks for now and they're just like the fuck you guys rugs i'm like
one i didn't expect anyone to pay real money for these. And two, I don't control the blockchain. I'm sorry. Like, once we get the L2 going, we'll free them again.
So I feel bad for a few people who actually end up spending money.
What's that kind of black market for whitelists and things like that?
What's that called again?
I mean, because, dude, people are buying Barra were buying bara testnet bara thinking that if they
got more bgt they'd get a bigger airdrop which like
nah you kind of got fucked on that one boss uh that was that was a bad move i remember like
i genuinely didn't think i was gonna get that much for the tge airdrop because i didn't really
do a whole lot of testnet activities
and then I remember like when that happened I got like significantly more than some people who had
just been like farming the shit out of it and I'm not gonna lie I fucking laughed at that one
oh you should laugh at him those poor those poor testnet grinders did you get the baddie drop the
the the notorious baddie drop
that created so much outrage?
Oh, we both did a double sound effect.
Hey, look, I didn't make the decisions.
it's all kind of ancient history now but i do feel bad for the test net droppers and the bear
helpers and those who didn't get their get their dues um i don't know what to say about it i don't
i'm not gonna airdrop them i think it's uh i think the foundation is like literally said at this point, like if they could,
they would do things a bit differently.
Alanis Morissette once said,
well that's exciting that's exciting news I'm glad congrats on your baddie airdrop for one
and congrats on your testnet update red care for blockchain but I also wanted to ask you red are
you big into the bgt lst game are you are you kind of sweating at the minute? Are you like, what is happening to my sweet IBGT, LBGT, LGBTQ+, like how are you?
Is that the guy that's always freaking out about IBGT?
I mean, I moved a lot of my, like, I still have my BGT boosting validators, which feels
like the wrong move at the moment, but I feel like.
Oh man, you're old school.
I, I'm just, I'm an old school kind of guy.
Yeah, you're using BGT as God intended.
That's, that's, that's good.
I, I kind of stopped getting BGT and I was like going more for the lsts because they're
actually like more liquid and um but i i feel like uh was it ozzy i think ozzy put something out
i didn't really fully understand the logic but ozzy's a pretty smart guy and he i think it was
ozzy if i'm misquoting it it was someone else my bad but uh he said something like you know the
the premiums are bad now.
The yield might be bad now on BGT, but the more people that get rid of their BGT,
it might go up over time.
So you might get better yield down the road.
So I'm just holding out, you know, just holding out, hoping that that all works out.
But, no, I got some IBGT.
They put out a nice article on what Paw, their TGE, is going to look like.
And how it's not just going to be a governance token.
It's going to be more value accrual from the entire platform.
Yeah, I tried to get all the BGTs, man.
I diversified in my LSTs, I'd say.
Yeah, you got to get the set.
Actually, I might have a little bit of every,
because then you got fucking Roots.
Ozzy's got his own BGT that,
I don't know if it's liquid yet, but.
There's very little liquid.
I think he's going to add some at some point to make it actually tradable.
But yeah, for Roots, there's RBGT.
Oh, you don't got that one yet?
Honestly, I mean, I don't really talk about what I do much in Baratrain,
but I'm purely IBGT as far as my BGT LSTs go.
But I will say the premium is absolutely cooked right now.
Like things are below peg.
I believe is LBGT last time I checked was below peg,
but they've been doing insane redemptions.
I think they opened up redemptions and I think they've almost gone through
a quarter of their BGT supply has now been burned or redeemed for Baratrain.
So it's, you know, it's a different playing field right now.
But I also think what I would say to that is that the yield,
because what's happening is the yield is so good on staked bearer that the foundation have released that it's kind of more competitive
and a juicier yield than what the BGT LSDs are currently offering.
But the bearer yield will dilute over time,
especially when they get those centralized exchange listings.
So we should see the premium go back up
and all this kind of is just a temporary moment in time.
But it does feel like there's been some pretty big reactions to it
from like at least bearer poor.
I was quite surprised to see how much BGT has been redeemed
I don't know if that was the right move or not i hope i hope it is for them in the long term but um yeah it's pretty interesting to see how everyone's kind of
reacting to this right now yeah i mean i i don't know i haven't really looked at the premiums
lately i know they're not they're not what they used to be. What was it? Well, I mean, a premium kind of implies it's above the price of the baseline asset,
where it's actually below.
So it's not even a premium.
That's like, what's the opposite?
I think one thing that it took me like a few weeks to kind of realize,
because I was wondering why yields were going down the first few weeks on BearChain.
And it was because like bear price was going down.
So like elephant in the room here,
the price is down a little bit.
But like when the price goes,
when price rebounds, when we get that bounce
there we go um yields go back up because bear bear is is a lot of what people put in for
for yield they put in bear they put in the ecosystem tokens and the ecosystem tokens go
up when bear goes up so it's like it's kind of just we're in
a little bit of a lull we've been in a lull for a little while it's all right we have a nice little
bounce when the market bounce but fucking b btc crashed to 114 000 so um we're in a good spot. We just, I don't know, I feel like this was a natural pullback in the entire market.
Wait, big queens at 1.14?
Did it go down again since I lost?
Oh, dude, you know, it's like, honestly, speaking on that, hilarious, right?
So, I've been back in my Miladycraft arccraft arc and i look listen listen i'm not gonna lie
i may have a bit of a problem i i just i wake up and i just can't wait to play m'ladycraft
anyway that's beside the point yesterday i spent like because i have like a bunch of stuff to do
today so yesterday i was like okay i'm just gonna like spend the day like playing m'ladycraft and i just did not look at charts at all all day i just had a fucking grand
old time playing m'ladycraft and then at the end of the day i looked at all my bags and i was like
oh it was a very red day so yeah things are a little down I mean that's the best way to spend a very red day is playing
Milady what's what is Miladycraft compared to Minecraft so it's like it's it's Minecraft it's
just they have their own server they have a bunch of mods installed yeah um so it's just really fun
and yeah like there's like a handful of mladies who
are just like regulars on there like every day they're on and it's it's so fun you guys like if
anyone wants to play with me let me know it's really fun you don't need to be a mladie or
hold of a lady or no you have to be in there you have to be in their discord because it requires
like a discord verification but like you don't. But literally by that I mean you just type in slash a command just to connect your Minecraft account to the Miladycraft server.
But yeah, you don't have to hold Milady or anything.
You do need to actually own Minecraft minecraft though what you don't
already yeah you have to have to get that but it's like 20 bucks so worth it for a lifetime of fun
that's fair i have to actually admit i've never really played minecraft properly more than like
a casual session with a friend oh my gosh well maybe Well, maybe someday we can change that in Ladycraft.
I've never played Minecraft.
I did play, there's like a 2D version.
It's like a different game called Terraria, which I really liked.
Yeah, it's like kind of like Minecraft, but like, I don't know.
I would always build stuff.
I thought I'd be an architecture guy when I was growing up so I liked like building random shit on maps so I feel like
I would like Minecraft but like you mean an architect is that what an architecture guy is
yeah like architecture shit yeah yeah you know big that's right yeah big big doctor architecture
kind of guy over here uh that didn't pan out but uh yeah i always like
building on those little those little maps but i think it's like a very similar game it's just
like 2d not 3d yeah i haven't played terraria myself but i i'm pretty familiar with like the
idea of the game because i've had a lot of my friends who enjoyed minecraft or know that i enjoy
it suggest that as well um it was fun I haven't played it in a while
but it's fun here's the thing you guys is like we're missing out on some prime marketing
opportunity because well they had like they remade the server um they used to host it I don't even
know like how you say this but like basically like the old server like you didn't
actually have to own Minecraft because they had I don't know it was like it wasn't like connected
via official Minecraft I don't know how that works but it is what it is but like when I tell guys, like this, the old server was insane. Like golly, those artists, autisted, like it was
incredible. And so in the old server, like I spent like two months last summer making my house and
then I filled it with baritone propaganda. Cause you you can like you can like basically upload images as
png photos and like hang them up as pictures so like if you wanted you could like cover buildings
or surfaces in your own photos so like we have a we have a huge opportunity here you know to just like smother miladycraft and baruchane adjacent propaganda
so you you had a house in miladycraft land and you had baritone propaganda in there and the
milady's were like there we hear you are hiding baritone propaganda and they like checked in the
attic you know what's actually like oh my gosh unironically
my baritone propaganda room was in my basement so literally they were like
you are hiding baritone propaganda underneath your floorboards are you not
that's such a m'lady thing to do they're pretty much the good stuffer yeah yeah and so this server
is new they They're still
obviously building it out. I have to restart
my house. But I literally
like, they have these things called waystones,
which is how you fast travel between certain
points. And if you build one,
you can name it. And I literally named
That was not a German accent, by the way.
I was trying to think of, sorry, when Icy mentioned that you could put your own JPEGs on the walls,
I was trying to think of this.
Fuck, there's this game in crypto.
Island, something island.
I remember when we got Sprottos on there,
because we have a little Schizosonic that you could play in that game.
Pretty fun, not going gonna lie. Best character.
You could put NFTs, like whatever
was in your wallet, you could just throw them on the wall.
And I always thought that was really cool.
entire house as just Sprodo wallpaper.
Nifty Island is actually really fun.
I've played that as well.
And dude, like the things that some people do with their islands, it's insane.
Like, I remember when I first started playing that, like, I thought I had a pretty good sense of things, you know?
sense of things you know and then I went to like other people's islands and I was like oh
my island ain't shit like it's insane what some people do it's it's really cool like I love that
kind of thing just like seeing people's like just pure autismed creativity going into things like this. I love it.
So when I first got on, I just was like, oh, you can run around and visit people's islands.
And the sappy seals were really big on it because they love games.
So I had a couple sappy friends, and I got in a group chat with them,
and they would go island hop every day.
So everyone would go check off their daily daily quests of going to like five different islands and i remember going
to some of their islands and just being like is this a different fucking game like what do you
what are we doing and then then they'd be like okay let's play team deathmatch i was like you
can play team deathmatch on here what the fuck and like we'd be bouncing around in the air and
it was like oh my god this is it was it was insanity um so yeah no i know
exactly how you feel my my island never got good my my laptop did not play it very well
it just yeah i couldn't really run it on my laptop so i wasn't able to play most of it but uh it was
a fun game i i think they i remember we had to space them probably over a year ago but i think
they want to bring it to a console one day.
And I was like, oh, that'd be pretty cool.
I actually have a machine that could run it.
Yeah, we're actually talking, we need to follow up with them, but we've talked with Nifty Island about getting the baritoners in as the playable avatars.
So you may be hearing more about Nifty Island at some point.
I haven't really kept up to date with what they're doing
and how the game's going.
But I know at the time it was like they wanted as many communities
um because it just helps you know it helps to have
a lot of cross-pollination with those games and different nft projects
by the way i just checked the uh the questions asked us uh what our favorite theme parks are
we should probably address this important question.
that's a very important question.
I think I went to some good ones in Japan.
Oh, he might've been Florida specifically.
I think my favorite in Florida was the universal studios.
Just cause they had the best roller coasters.
I've never been to the Florida theme parks. Cause I live like close to the West coast coasters i've been to i've never been to the florida theme
parks um because i live like close to the west coast so i've done like california universal and
disneyland i would at some point hear me out i know that like disney is just like an evil
corporation and all but i would really like to try out disney World because I hear that it's just like a lot more
impressive. I went to the Epcot Center. It's a little too educational for my taste. Also,
you could check out Disney Sea in Tokyo, which is one I've been to as well. Oh, that's,
that's what I really, okay. So fun fact about Disneyland Tokyo, because I've looked into this.
There's this character that they have, like this really cute little bear, and they only have it at the Tokyo Disney.
Like you cannot get this merchandise from any other Disney.
And the bear character, like they have like a boy one that's like looks like more like a teddy bear
and they have a girl one that's like a lilac color and i'm like bitch i need that merchandise
run it up slapping my credit card on the table
well we gotta go to take care then we do i actually i at some point i do intend to like
I'm actually in Thailand at the minute, which is nice.
It's very hot here, though.
It's affordable for someone who holds bearer, which is nice.
It's, you know, it's nice weather. Maybe maybe too hot for some but I don't mind it and I get to scoot around
you're an awesome person I'm sure
heat can't hurt you I'm sure
that's where we met was in Thailand
crazy lord yeah Yeah, I didn't have it. I was like, have you been to Thailand? That's where we met was in Thailand. Exactly. Yeah, it was.
No, I've always wanted to.
I've heard there's very specific things that I would probably like, or at least that's what people tell me.
They won't tell me what it is, but they're like, you'd love it, bro.
So one day, Tez, I have a big announcement.
They're talking about the architecture.
Because you're an architecture guy.
Yeah, I'm a big, big architecture guy.
I finally got my passport, though.
I'm an adult, and I finally got my passport. Thanks for the applause.
Oh, I did want to get back to the theme parks. I'm not a big roller coaster guy. I like water parks.
I like water slides and like, I know, I know. I like Kalahari and I think it's like Great Wolf Lodge around here, which is really nice.
But yeah, I don't really like roller coaster. I think it's Heights. I have a thing with Heights. But I haven't been on one in a while.
So maybe one day, Tez, maybe if you hold my hand real tight, maybe I'd feel comfortable
Yeah. In Tokyo, they've got some good ones. I was going to say, you get your passport
and the first place you head to is Florida.
You know it's the same country, right?
I thought we gave this to Mexico.
I thought Trump got rid of Florida.
I mean, you go to Florida and you might as well assume that.
We gave it to Cubaa oh yeah gave it to there's there's a pretty cool
little um cuban city around here uh was it ybor city no no ybor city it's it's really cool though
they're like um they got like chickens running around the streets and like they'll they're like
sitting there like uh rolling their own cigars actual cigars not the cool ones um but yeah it's like little cuba and uh it's pretty cool
fun fact i don't know i'm sure the uh i'm sure the food there is like boston
oh i love i love just being able to have seafood because like we have some
But, like, the seafood down here is way different.
A lot different, like, fish.
I love coming down here for the food.
They got really good beer down here.
You know, when I was in France, the south of France, because it's like right on the sea.
Oh, man, all the seafood like was so, so, so good because I live in a landlocked state.
So, you know, there's just like no chance of me ever getting fresh seafood.
So anytime I go to a place that has, you know, that waterfront border nearby.
Oh, I run it up on the seafood dishes and it was
very delightful. Yeah. You got to get that pos on when you're in France, eh? Dude, I got some
escargot in France. I'm not going to lie. I always thought that shit was disgusting. Cause I'm like,
ew, snails, disgusting. But no, like y'all that it's actually bussin.
I'm okay. I'm not going to try it. I think I i think i'm good dude i'm telling you you got it because like trust me i was in the same boat i was like ew no i'm never
gonna try that and then i was like okay fine i'll try it once and then i tried it once and i was
like hold up wait a second record scratch man i wish they had a record scratch sound so red you're a
new man new passport new man are you gonna try a scar go sorry I just got some interesting news.
Escargot is snails, isn't it?
The only reason I want to try it is because Biggie rapped about it once.
It was in one of Biggie's songs.
I forget the line, but he talked about it.
And Biggie was pretty cool.
But he's also pretty big, so I feel like he just ate anything.
I don't know if I would try it.
Uck also said... Biggie would eat anything.
He just probably ate a lot,
but Uck was in the comments
when I mentioned Ybor City.
He said they have great strip clubs,
I like the cigars they're rolling.
But Uck said they have really good strip clubs,
if anyone wanted to go to a little Cuba in Florida.
Good strip clubs, apparently.
All right, report back to us.
Red, can I ask you what you've been doing on Baratain recently as well feel like i've got to just like tie in bear chain every every few questions yeah um actually if you don't mind i
wouldn't mind plugging um i just posted a little giveaway for um polar ai actually um i don't you've
probably seen them they they have like a uh like an AI bot reply bot thing.
It's not like one of those ones.
I haven't really paid much attention.
What is the Polar AI bot?
and every time I post my ETH updates,
it'll be under it saying like,
yeah, ETH is doing great.
And it's like, hey, what kind of technical analysis do you want? It, yeah, ETH is doing great. And it's like,
hey, what kind of technical analysis do you want? It's like, this is the wrong audience,
but it's cool. It's actually pretty cool. It gives like pretty good, I don't know,
it gives trading advice and stuff on the account. But I've known Snowman, the guy that's behind it.
He's just been working his ass off, man. Because they have like a coin, an NFT.
I think they're the only person using Kingdomly Staking at the moment.
So I just want to shine a little light on them because, I don't know, he's actually been just working really hard.
I feel like he gets zero recognition.
He gave me some NFTs to give away, so if you want to try to win one, go to my profile.
He actually put me in the collection.
I'm like one of the NFTs.
It has like a red Kev hat.
It looks pretty cool, I'm not going to lie.
But yeah, other than that, I've been doing a lot of infrared.
I'm obviously doing a lot of Barra staking.
And what I really like is you stake your Barra on the hub, you put it in Dolomite, and then
you borrow money against it, and then you go earn yield with that money, and you just
So especially with Barra, kind of where the price is, I don't really envision it, I don't
know, I don't want to keep saying it going down too much more, but famous last words,
but I feel like it's not a bad time to borrow against it
I feel like we're close to a bottom.
So, but yeah, just been looping, defying,
chilling with the teddies, you know, things like that.
Are you farming the infrared points?
Your points, Maxon maxim trying to get that
airdrop yeah i like the uh it's the ibera ibgt pool i like a lot because you get like double points
and um it's basically all ibgt though every time i like go to swap into it it's like 90 ibgt 10 ibera yeah so it's like
you're you're basically just staking ibgt at that point and then ibera is you know it's pegged well
i don't know if it's pegged but it's close to bear price so it's like um i don't know i feel
like i don't get as much impermanent loss as i used to when I was just doing random SLPs and just would get impermanently
fucked sometimes. But yeah, no, infrared air, I mean, I'm in a lot of air, I'm farming a lot
of airdrops on Barra, hoping a couple of them pay off, you know? And Puffpaw, of course Puffpaw.
Oh yeah, you're yapping, yapping about Puffpaw?
You're yapping about PuffPaw?
Tez, I don't know if you saw.
I was actually the number one week zero yapper.
Sorry, I hit the wrong one.
Yeah, they have a really good yapping campaign.
So if you're, especially if you're a user, I think they're including usage.
Like they're actually adding things together now.
Like week one, it was a lot based on referrals.
So if you referred people to get a Gen 2, you were high ranked.
Because I was pretty low ranked for week one because no one used my referral code.
It's okay, guys, but also, come on, should have used my referral code.
But I think week two, it's going to be part usage of the vapes and then part yapping.
So they're finally adding it all together because that's the one thing I don't like about Kato.
You don't have to use the product. You don't have to use the product you don't have to use the protocol and you could like
rank really high but it's like ah you should reward the people using the protocol the product
project like i don't know i i want to see a mixture for airdrops and stuff going forward so
puffball is kind of hitting that right now which is great so you should be yapping but you should
also have blue res nicotine coursing through your veins
Otherwise, in order to real one, you don't deserve the airdrop.
Well, you don't need nicotine.
They got 0%, bud, so you don't have to have nicotine.
I heard that they were also coming out with the THC pods.
Yeah, it's going to be like a completely separate vape um was a good
trip and I think they're coming out with a hookah as well really yeah yeah they're just crushing it
on everything nicotine I'm waiting for uh Zins if you can inhale us you know what i had so many people especially bruce um honestly anytime i like think of bruce
i just think bruce if you're in the teddy telegram then you know what i'm talking about
but anyway bruce was telling me about like he's just like a huge thin guy and i had been
talking recently about how like i'm trying to quit vaping.
Ironically, the only reason I vaped was because I started smoking cigarettes.
And the only reason I started smoking was because I quit smoking weed.
So, like, you know, it's been a cyclical issue of me being like, damn, I need to stop doing this.
So I'm finally like, okay, I'm going to stop vaping for real, for real.
And I was talking to him recently about, you know i did like the um like it
you know like it was kind of tough to just like stop like i didn't expect it to be as tough as it
was and so he was like super advocating for uh for zins but the thing is is I tried it and I don't know like if anyone has this experience
or like I don't know if I'm crazy I mean I well I am but that's beside the point uh the point being
that I gave it a shot and it like it made my gums like I it's hard to explain like not like hurt but like I
don't know there's just this like tingliness that like it in a way it hurt
it's very odd to describe because it's not like outright pain but like I did
not enjoy the sensation at all so I don't know if anyone has that experience
Oh, are you talking about Zins?
You're not paying attention, Red.
Sorry, we got some cool news going on with Sprottos.
We might have some merch coming out soon.
Someone sent me a cool message.
It's the wrong sound effect, I see. Every time. No, I was sorry. Someone sent me a cool message. Wrong sound effect.
So I got these caffeine ones.
So it's like they're Zins, but they have caffeine instead.
And I don't know what the brand does.
And they put a lot of whatever's in gum that's really minty.
They put a lot of it, whatever the powder is.
I'm talking for like three minutes straight, your lip goes numb.
It's kind of cool if you're into other hobbies, but it kind of hurts.
With Zins, I feel like it goes away, but you have to do them kind of regularly and get used to it.
Also, are you doing mint or were you doing the good flavor citrus?
I think I got β it was something minty.
I think it was like maybe peppermint or something because my thought process was like, oh, I really't. I think I got... It was something minty. I think it was maybe peppermint or something.
Because my thought process was like, oh, I really like minty gum, so surely I'll like this.
Citrus is my favorite Zin one. Like, Zin brand.
Try citrus, though. It won't hurt your gums as much, because it's the mint.
It's the mint that gets in there and kind of messes with your
gums but uh yeah i would i would check out the citrus if you are trying to get into it
that's why they call you citrus lips what's the what's the news red you go like i heard this big
news we've got spurtas in the audience why don't you just tell us what the news is come on citrus
lips what's the news well there's they're just we've we've hinted at this before
um oh there's some sprotas in here nice uh we've hinted at this before but um you know our racing
jackets of course well you can put two and two together so there's just kind of an update on
we've we've talked about different colors man in the colors man he's asking me to
add what the fuck yeah we actually um uh we actually bought nascar so the whole the whole
the whole sport yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah uh they've come on hard times um we're gonna rebrand
it's actually now illegal to be a nascar fan without being a Sproto. Yes, you actually have to buy a Sproto to get admitted to any NASCAR race.
So supply crunch, supply shock incoming.
You can also have ten thousand ticker bitcoins.
We'll also accept that at the races.
But yeah, and you can buy all your concessions.
But yeah, we bought NASCAR, so we're going to rebrand it.
Probably Harry Potter, Obama car. That's what I'm thinking.
Yeah, that sounds good. Or the Nimbus 2000
or something. I don't know. Or the Sonic car.
Surely. Or something like that.
Actually, it would be sick
if Sprotos had a NASCAR team.
I would be for this. How much does it cost to get a NASCAR? How much do youotos had a NASCAR team. I would be for this.
How much does it cost to get a NASCAR team?
How much do you need to buy a NASCAR team?
I remember it was you and Waj didn't believe me,
but we were on an F1 car.
I think it was Indy 500 or something.
Because Kraken sponsors a car so they had like um
back when kraken had an nft marketplace um unfortunately we love kraken the exchange
kraken the nft marketplace we kind of had beef with little sproto curse
uh i don't think it's around anymore but like we love cracking the exchange. That's great.
But yeah, we were on the F1 car.
We had the same Sproto twice, which is pretty sick.
Some guy was behind the car and he had to see Sprotos,
which is just hilarious to think about.
You're just driving and you see a fucking Sproto.
I want to see Brad Pitt now in a Sprodo Gremlin movie.
I actually heard that they're working on that.
Is this a new iteration of the racing jacket? Is that what I hearing do you have one of the racing jackets right you do you know these racing jackets i see
you know what i'm talking about yeah they look dope as fuck like i've actually unironically like
i've always thought i was actually thinking about this the other day because i'm uh workshopping
some uh apparel for baritone uh a little bit alpha for you but um that's like you know that piece of
merch is just one that's always been lasting in my memory of like probably the coolest
like crypto apparel merch i've ever seen i think it's fair to say it's probably the best crypto
merch of all time i'm gonna say it say it. I feel like it is.
I don't know if anyone can think of anything better.
So shout out MILF Dad. And then, oh, fuck.
I think I'm blanking on the people that manufactured it.
I'm going to look like an asshole.
I don't have my jacket in Florida because it's freaking hot down here.
Does a lot of really cool merch.
And then, yeah, it's such a nice jacket.
I mean, I was wearing it all throughout Denver.
I think I brought it to Miami even though it was, like, really fucking hot.
And you know what? You just sweat through it because it's like really hot and you know what you just
you just sweat through it because it's like whatever this is my jacket i gotta wear it
gotta represent dude i mean sometimes you really do have to make some sacrifices for the fashion
what was really cool is it came with a hat that had like a bunch of the logos all over it too
so i love the hat the hat doesn't get a lot of love i think i think when we met at art basil last year you had the jacket hat combo if i recall correctly or
at least i've seen the combo and i'm like damn that's fucking drip right yeah no it's i don't
know we have we have a lot of cool merch there's actually something i don't know. We have a lot of cool merch. There's actually something. I don't know how much I can tease. It's kind of been teased before. But yeah, there's a couple cool merch. I mean, I feel like that's what we try to do is have cool merch. Because people really sleep on the IRO marketing a lot in crypto. It's all like, oh, let's go to TikTok. Let's go to Instagram, which is great. It's good. But there's other avenues.
And it's like some of the best marketing is just making cool shit to wear.
And then people just wear it out and about.
Like Stoned Alabama in the audience, he wears that shit like every day.
And he's always posting pictures of it.
I unironically think that where so many people go wrong with the crypto merch is like they just
put it's like a lame ass design but like if you make something that's like actually dope as fuck
and looks good like people will wear it and i actually argue that like making it not obvious
that it's a crypto project is better because Because if someone just sees you wearing, like, a cool design,
and they're like, oh, that's a cool shirt.
Boom, there's your elevator pitch, you know?
Versus, like, if you have, like, I'm a crypto nerd,
then, like, maybe they're not going to be like, oh, let me learn about that.
Oh, if you want, and then one thing,
if you want people to approach you in public,
wear Harry Potter, Obama, Sonatini new merch.
Because every single time I've ever worn it out, usually the hat, I like the hat a lot.
And I'll just be at dinner or something, and the waitress waiter will be like, they'll kind of see the hat.
Maybe they'll see the hat and drop off water, walk away.
And then when they're dropping off dinner, they're like, Harry Potter, Obama, is that a Bitcoin?
And they always ask about it.
And I usually either say like clothing brand because it's a lot easier to get people to go to a website when you say clothing than crypto.
But eventually I'll be like, well, it's about crypto.
And I remember one time she was like, well, you know, I'm not into crypto, but I would wear that merch. And it's you know it's about crypto and i remember one time she was like well you know i i'm not into crypto but i would wear that merch and it's like that's how you win like you just get
people that'll wear this literally it dude i'm telling you you guys are doing it right on that
front yeah and we've the really cool part is it's gone beyond just like official merch and we have
so many people that make like bootleg merch it will you know we just call it bootleg because it's not like officially from the project but there's just
spurtos that'll just design things and set up a shop and just you know just sell it and it's like
the team's like yeah absolutely like go ahead like it it just spreads the message even more even more
designs people can get crafty and make whatever they want like oh yeah it's it's great
no we have a lot of great merch and a lot of great merch coming and I think yeah I think I
think that's gonna be really cool especially I don't know I see random people someone from monad
which shut up monad good monad to everybody in the room uh she said shout out or shut up shout out shout out
no shut up monad but there was there was someone with a monad badge who had a bunch of merch and
they're like i have all this crypto merch and it was you know a bunch of monad stuff and then you
just see the harry potter obama sonnets any. And it's like, yeah, we've crossed everyone.
Even if you don't buy the project, even if you don't buy the coin, the NFT,
you'll probably buy a shirt just because it's funny looking
and it has a little Bitcoin on it.
So yeah, it goes beyond just our holders, which is really cool.
True, very true. I was also going to shout out chris in the audience because he had some really
cool patches uh hello patches in denver which yeah which very much reminded me of your racing
jacket um also icy i was going to say we designed a brave t-shirt together if you remember actually
um that is one of the shirts i wear the most because not only is the design like super sick, but the quality, like the material is so comfy.
And that's another thing I like. Oh, my gosh, I I hate when.
I mean, I guess it's not hate because like don't fucking care. But I think it's silly when
crypto projects will invest in getting shirts, but they go with the cheapest option. Because
I'm telling y'all, if that shirt is not soft and comfy to wear, I don't care. I will never wear it.
And likewise, if you have a comfy, soft material cotton shirt, I will wear the shit
out of that. Like I, I low key be rocking my like, like especially Barachain, but just crypto in
general shirts all the time, like around the house, running grocery errands, stuff like that.
Cause like, if they're comfy to wear, like I wear them so if you ever you know if you're
listening to this and you ever are like thinking about developing merch like dude it is worth
the extra clams to get a genuinely comfortable material shirt even if it costs you a little bit
more you did good on those bear rave shirts they're very comfy thank you uh that was that was dumb
luck the supplier in thailand came good actually they weren't cheap so i'm glad wait are you
talking about the the denver ones uh this was the bangkok ones oh but i also i'm a i'm a big fan of
the denver t-shirt as well i know i love i love those and And you and Baby Bear, I lost mine at the rave.
And you guys made sure I had one.
And then the next day, Baby Bear was like, hey, I got your shirt.
And I was like, I already got one.
And yeah, so shout out you guys for making sure I got one.
But yeah, those shirts were awesome.
Yeah, you guys took care of me.
We don't talk about Gods much anymore, but shout out Gods.
He made sure I got a Bulla's hoodie.
Oh, and he got me VIP access there.
He would DM me like three times a day being like,
this person's on my VIP list.
This person's on my VIP list.
should we ask people to jump up on stage if they're so willing? persons on my BF. That's pretty funny. You got on there. I was also going to say,
should we ask people to jump up on stage if they're so willing?
I feel like that was meant to be kind of one of our things and we forgot to do it.
If people want to come up.
let me get in my, let me get in my baritone shell real quick.
It's this cool game being developed on bear chain
it's it's gonna be pretty dope not gonna lie i've seen the recent videos that the devs have sent me
which unfortunately i can't share yet like they literally told me i'm not allowed to share
them publicly yet but uh i i will say it is uh you know, some fresh looks at, like, our combat systems and our, like, mining and, like, tree chopping and everything.
Like, they're all just getting, like, improved greatly upon from our first playtest.
It looks so insanely good and fun.
I'm telling you, you know're we're we build in silence but
damn do we be building and uh also listen up uh we actually have a content contest going on right
now it's open through sunday where if you make any content with your baritone or it can be a meme it
can be a video it can be like you know proof of stream using your baritone or it can be a meme it can be a video it can be like you know
proof of stream using your baritone or like anything it's very open-ended because i just
want you to like feel creative to do whatever it like is you just using your baritone or uh first
place gets 100 bucks usdc second is 75 third is 50 so like pretty sweet deal you know if you don't have a baritoner yet guess what they're
only like six and a half seven barra so that's very very cheap um i i do strongly feel that like
once the game is like actually out the price of that is gonna see a major uptick because we are
also cooking on some insane shit for baritone or holders within the game.
Also, the sailcloths, which is our first ever NFT collection, those are on a fire sale right now.
Reminder, the key difference there being that the sailcloths will get you a bunch of in-game boosts,
multipliers, fee reductions, all sorts of things. And the baritoner is like wearables, an avatar,
and you also get every baritoner has their own fully rigged 3D VTuber, which is basically like,
you know, what you use if you want to stream and have a face tracking, but like you want to stay
anonymous. So baritone team continues to just cook insanely. So if you're not, you know, a baritone maxi, you need to get whiter.
Also, I don't know if in this political environment if you should be telling people to get whiter.
I don't know. You know what environment if you should be telling people to get whiter. I don't know.
Baritone has great genes.
Shout out Sydney Sweeney.
Like, I don't know what the fuck is happening to Twitter,
People are fucking tripping.
It's obviously a play on words on genes,
and she's got massive bazongas
that's what they mean by she has great jeans y'all that's what i that's how i always took it
but now she's a symbol for neo-nazis or something i don't i go confused like how does that the
funniest part is like she's just like not political so like people are calling her i
saw someone call her like maga the other day and it's like she i don't think she's ever been political publicly like i've never seen it she just she acts she has great what icy said yeah uh and yeah it's
like that's what she's known for and she plays into it and i think there's nothing wrong with
that and uh but yeah people were calling her yeah people were like making her the face of
neo-nazis or something it's's like, I feel bad for her.
Like, she's just fucking wearing jeans and getting paid like a motherfucker.
Like, that shit got weird.
Yeah, that's the one thing.
The other thing I'm seeing is, like, and I never knew this.
People really love the Snyder Superman, and they don't like the new Superman, according
I see this on my Twitter feed sometimes.
But it's also kind of really homoerotic, where they're like, the new Superman according to Twitter at least I see this on my Twitter feed sometimes but it's also kind of really homoerotic where they're like the original Superman had real muscles and he
weighed this much and he had a great chin and it's like like it's like really it's like comes
up really gay but like all these like fucking incels are like I don't know saying like Henry
Cavill's Superman was better than the new I have not seen the new Superman, so I can't really comment. Dude, I just watched it.
There was people in the audience.
Someone recorded it in the theater.
But I was able to watch it.
Honestly, I really liked it for what it was. But the best part of it is they kind of hyped up Supergirl,
which is going to be a movie next year.
Is Sidney Sweeney a Supergirl?
No, it's the girl from House of Dragons
So she's going to be Supergirl.
And I won't spoil anything, but I thought it was good, man. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So she's going to be Supergirl. And I won't spoil anything.
But I thought it was good, man.
I like the Henry Cavill one.
I'm pretty easy with movies, though.
I'm not a big critic of movies.
So don't take my word for it.
The actor that played him played him really well.
He was a really good villain in the movie.
Oh, that was the British guy.
I don't know what he's talking about.
Yeah, he played him really well.
I thought it was good, man.
And then I watched Fantastic Four.
I've seen a lot of people hate on that.
I thought that was pretty good.
I guess maybe I just like all movies.
This is the other one I'm confused by.
Something's going on with Pedro Pascal.
People are like, he's a little weird.
I've always kind of like, when I started seeing, I think this was last year.
When I started seeing a little bit of discourse about him needing to just touch up on people because he's anxious, as someone who actually fucking hates physical touch, I just saw that.
And so the fact that everyone's now got it under a microscope, I'm like, damn, I knew there was something about that guy.
But only when he has anxiety and only when he's around his hot female
You don't see him getting touchy with Bella Ramsey or whatever her name is.
He did it, I think it was the early 2000s.
He's been doing this for ages.
It was William Dafoe's wife.
And he got a little touchy and
william defoe looked at him like he was gonna like knock him out on the red carpet like it was
it was pretty funny like the clip i saw that went viral yeah had behavior from william defoe to be
like he just like you can tell like gave him that look like that man's i don't know what he said
but he said something yeah and which deservingly so like that's that was his wife you know like you know
but yeah he's like um uh the the main lady in fantastic four is married and he's like yeah if
you just see any pictures yeah it's like but it's it's just a little bit much i mean i like pedro as
an actor like he plays really good roles he's's good at acting. But keep your hands to yourself, man.
It's hard to like him when he's doing this shit.
That's where it's like, I can't say I'm a Pedro fan.
Because it's like, yeah, but he's touchy.
But again, he's a really good actor.
If he was a bad actor, he'd probably be kicked out of Hollywood by now.
But he's a really good actor.
He's not like Christian Bale level.
Although Christian Bale, I've heard, is a complete asshole on set.
I mean, yeah, but he's one of the best, so I guess he can be
there was, was it from Batman?
There was a big viral clip like
where he was just yelling at the fucking
the lighting being off and he was just
tearing into the crew, just tearing into some
poor sound guy or light guy
and was just tearing into the crew, just tearing into some poor sound guy or light guy and was just ripping him apart.
And, uh, yeah, that's kind of what I remember.
Christian Bale, he played a really good Batman, a lot better than Ben Affleck.
I hated the Ben Affleck Batman.
Uh, Robert Pattinson makes an interesting Batman.
I recently watched the R-Pat Batman movie.
I still haven't seen the Ben Affleck one.
You know, it was definitely a very different take and mood from...
I mean, I think every Batman is a little different in its own way.
But yeah, it was enjoyable.
It was also just a lot different, I suppose, from what I expected.
But I think he plays like that brooding Bruce really, really well.
But I did like, I'm not going to lie, I still think Christian Bale is the best.
Because like, man, he just, he had that Batman, you know, down.
I actually really liked the,
the Robert Pattinson Batman.
I couldn't tell you what happened in the plot,
but like the vibe was really cool.
Like it looks really good.
Like I think it was the best looking Batman.
So I'm going to say this.
I know I just said that Christian Bale is like,
I think he's one of the best going.
I actually liked Robert Pattinson's Batman,
Batman more than Christian Bale's raspypy voice goofy batman he's like you know what i
appreciate it you know what i appreciate about robert's batman is that like there was that scene
where he um he like does the like zipline thing or whatever the fuck he does and he just like
totally eats shit and i appreciate that because
like it's just realistic you know like he's just a guy he's just a guy
it's true no i actually thought i actually was surprised at how much i liked that batman movie
because i didn't think i was gonna like it i was like oh this is cool it's like vibing and shit
I was going to ask you as well,
because I feel like we have to keep reverting back
to Baruchain every now and then.
What have you been doing on Baruchain as well?
Are you just pure Baruchain, Maxie?
I mean, I haven't really been
on-chain activities generally.
I did recently re-enter the Soul Casinos
just to like fuck around.
Oh, back in the trenches.
Yeah, I have lost some money
But yeah, I haven't been doing a whole lot
I'm just, you know, I haven't been doing a whole lot, like, otherwise.
I'm just, you know, I'm literally just a girl. I'd be making memes, you know, shilling baritone.
What have you been up to?
Oh, me? Um. what about you what have you been up to oh me um honestly honestly nothing too exciting i i dabble in new things that come out every now and then but
majority of my stuff's just uh ibgt just uh or bearer and just just farm and yield waiting for
things to pick up again. That sounded really depressing.
You know, stay calm and farm is what I'm doing.
See, what I like about kind of where we're at right now is, like,
when you're farming and you're getting yield,
it's at, like, generally lower prices.
Again, sorry, elephant in the room.
If you keep the Barra, if you stable up your Barra, that's a different story.
But if you're kind of long-term minded and you're getting your yield, you're getting your Barra, your IBGT, you're just dollar cost averaging down with that yield.
And that's what I really like because I kind of bought pretty high on a lot of it so i've been like buying a little bit here and there
at these levels but every time you get yield you're you're just going down a little bit on
the dca which is pretty nice because you don't have to we don't have to go as high for you to
get back to break even or you know getting the profits on your barrel So that's nice. One silver lining here.
So you're like, you know, these yields in 20 years time, I'll be breaking even.
Is that kind of what you're thinking?
Well, not 20 years, Tez. Relax, relax. But like, I don't know. I like, I don't know what my like average cost is now because just been kind of yielding as much as I can. But
yeah, that's kind of what I'm thinking.
It's like, you know, half a year's time.
It's like, man, I feel like I'm going to be,
even if we stayed at these price levels,
I feel like in half a year,
I'm going to be like broken even at least.
So if we, any price moving upwards,
it's going to be all profit, baby.
Beauty, beauty. We haven't, we didn't, Ark's been up here for a minute and he hasn't said
anything hello so we should introduce you everyone welcome arc no you you guys were uh
we're talking i didn't want to interrupt especially like any of you guys so
there you go we're just talking Batman. Who's your favorite Batman? George Clooney?
Which is the one with the nipples?
favorite Batman would probably be Christian Bale,
but I really, I don't know.
Sorry, we just sprung out on you.
What's new with you, Ark?
What have you been up to?
Nothing, just doing Barrow Chain stuff and bullies, talking shit, you know, normal days.
Oh, you've been spanking?
Spanking on the bullies game?
Oh, yeah, I only spank gods on principle.
Oh, can you spank gods now?
I didn't know that. That's a new one, is it?
Hasn't gods been there the entire
time? Oh, has he? He has. I didn't want to tell
Tez that. I was going to say,
I was like, damn, Tez, open up
Bullard game once. It has been a minute.
It's been a while. Wait've played it. I've played it.
Wait, if we're, real quick, if we're going to talk about Favorite Batman, can we talk about Favorite Hulk?
I wasn't sure where you were going with this, but yeah, that's one of the few I've seen,
and Edward Norton did so good.
Yeah, he only got one movie, and it was like the origin of Hulk.
And they just kind of stuck with it.
New guy's good, but I saw some clips of the original Hulk the other day.
It's like, dude, goddamn.
Edward Norton is such a good actor, and he just...
I don't know what he's doing nowadays, but they just don't put him in stuff anymore, and it sucks.
They just don't put him in stuff anymore.
Yeah, he's just not in movies, man.
When's the last Edward Norton movie you saw?
Yeah, that was a good fuck.
Dude, he was the king of early 2000s.
He had some bangers, and then now it's just like...
Hopefully, he just retired off into the sunset and
he's just like chilling big time maybe oh so you saw another hulk during the week right red
nice segue yeah no i uh i went down to hulk hogan's bar in uh down here in Florida.
I guess they're going to have some big Memorial Tuesday.
Like, I kind of want to go, but there's going to be so many people.
But I know there's going to be, like, Ric Flair's around here.
So, like, I know Ric Flair's going to be there.
It's like, man, I kind of want to go and meet all these old wrestlers or at least see them.
I feel like it's going to be mad crowded.
It'll definitely be crowded.
But if you could get a photo up with Ric Flair wearing your sproto kit,
that could be quite a moment.
But I have some family down here, but they will not go with me down there.
So it's like I would have to go alone.
It's like, I don't want to go to this packed place alone.
I don't always do well in crowds.
So it's like, eh, I don't know.
I might try to pull the trigger, but maybe I could try to get Ric Flair.
I wish I was closer to that side.
I was going to say I would totally go there if I totally go there if there was someone else to go with.
I mean, maybe I'll go there and try to get Ric Flair to hit the Spurto Puff Paw.
He probably shouldn't, to be honest.
But, dude, this man, my brother sees him in bars every now and then down here.
He'll drink, like, 20 beers a day.
He's, like, 80 years old.
He was wrestling until he was 72.
I think he retired, which is, like, you guys shouldn't be.
The average 72-year-old is already, like, just, like, can't even, like, has no mobility, and this man was wrestling.
Well, and it wasn't, like, just, like, puff matches either.
It was, like, they were throwing him over their shoulders.
Like, he was taking big bumps.
And it's like, dude, he's, like, 70.
You're going to break his hips a lot.
Dude, he was taking big bumps?
I was going to say, like, that guy was actually really into big bumps.
I think it was like 72 when he finally retired.
He had his retirement match and then he was still on TV,
like kind of like as a manager,
but now he just goes around different bars and goes on TMZ all the time the time i think just to get paid and it's like damn man you know the thing
is is like i i know i think we've talked about this before uh red because like obviously you're
uh a fan of the wrestling you know i like to the people who try to talk shit they're like oh it's
all fake it's like, it's scripted,
but, like, those dudes are really
throwing each other around, and, like,
brother, like, there is no way to fake
being dropped on a bunch of, like,
and whatever the hell else they were doing to each other.
even more sportsmanship to fake those things
because you need to make it look real.
So it requires so much control in, like, doing it,
but not overdoing it, you know what I mean?
Yeah, no, so my son and wife watch aew which is like a
competitor to wv i know red uh red cab knows about it and like i yes it's scripted but like there's
this guy named darby allen that's climbing up two fucking stories in the air and jumping off and
like hitting the ground and like i don't care how scripted that is. That fucking hurts. Yeah.
For the old school people, Darby Allin is basically Jeff Hardy for this generation.
And, like, dude, if you β like, I went down the death match wrestling for a while, and, like, they would jump off of buildings onto tables.
Like, I'm talking, like, two-, three-, four-story buildings onto tables like i'm talking like two three four story
buildings onto a bunch of tables and it's like people just breaking their backs like
people get actually hurt like that's the thing like yeah it's fake and scripted and they know
who's gonna win before the match but like you can't script getting thumbtacks in your head
i saw i saw someone and it was aew because they're a
little bit more they can be a little bit more bloody than wwe um but yeah aew i saw they had
like a death match and someone just had a fork and was just diving it into his fucking forehead
and it's like jesus christ he's bleeding like it's actually real and it's like you can't fake that
that was real he just dug a fork into someone's forehead it's like, you can't fake that. That was real. He just dug a fork into someone's forehead. It's like, Jesus Christ.
Imagine that conversation.
I strongly respect professional wrestling.
I've seen the wrestler with Mickey Rourke.
No, I said Mickey Rourke. Oh, I thought you said Kid Rock? no I said Mickey Rock
oh I thought you said Kid Rock
The Wrestler is a really good movie
all the wrestling matches were filmed
at one of these death match promotions
in the movie are actually
indie wrestlers which was kind of cool
but yeah The Wrestler if you haven't seen the wrestler it's oh it's so good that last scene oh man yeah
i love that movie how did we get on wrestling how did we get here because you went you went to
the hulk thing oh yes thank you tez for the great the beautiful segue into hulk hogan
oh yeah that's what we got i was wondering how we got here according to twitter if you even ever
liked hulk or like even acknowledged that he died and like he did leave behind a legacy you're now
also a neonat see so yeah i guess careful with that one someone i didn't realize that there was
so much backlash like i knew i know his history but like i didn't realize there was so much backlash like uh joey swole like put a whole
apology video out and like i i put a picture with me and hulk posing and uh and someone like puts
like hey you're gonna have to put out an apology and i didn't understand the reference at the time
and i'm like dude i just fucking like hulk wrestler, man. You can separate the art from the artist.
Like, chill the fuck out. I actually, like, that really, really deeply upset me.
Because, like, Joey Swole is, like, the coolest fucking dude ever.
Like, his entire platform is just, like, don't be fucking rude.
Like, he's so, like, health max-y, positive.
Like, supports people getting into working out.
Like, that is a good fucking dude.
And the fact that they almost drove him off social media because they literally started, like, doxing and threatening his family and his wife and his sister or whatever the fuck it was, like, is insane to me.
Like, these people are mentally ill. Leave the man alone.
You can recognize that the Hulkster for a lot of people was a huge part of their childhood
without that also meaning that they agree
with every single thing he's ever said and done
Yeah, and if you're unfamiliar,
he had a very bad voice recording 20 years ago.
I'm a big believer in people can change.
Again, I don't want to get too far down that rabbit hole, but he said some very bad things.
But yeah, it's like, dude, I liked him as a wrestler.
I didn't like everything he did.
I didn't like his show even.
Hogan Knows Best. a wrestler you know i didn't i didn't like everything he did i didn't like his show even uh was it hogan knows best uh it was like okay growing up but like looking back it was like yeah
it was just a kind of a shitty reality tv show you know uh but yeah he was just i don't know he's
just a wrestler man you grew up watching him you grew up doing the uh the turn into nwo and shit
like that's what i remember uh or my favorite my favorite hulk Hogan quote was he was in court and he had to say
in front of a jury on record that he didn't have a 10-inch cock. And it's the funniest quote ever.
Literally a lawyer asked him. Someone left after that. But someone asked him, I'm going to keep
going. And I guess he was quoted as saying that and like he had to say like
no like hulk hogan does but i'm terry whatever it's so goddamn funny he's under oath saying like
yeah i don't have this and oh yeah that's crazy dog yeah well they uh they leaked his sex tape of
him and i don't know it was it was a whole thing it was a whole thing we don't got to get into it
but well i mean well now we've got to know.
It was weird. It was some guy basically had him bang his wife and was a cuck.
And it was just like Hulk Hogan banged my wife.
And then they released the tape without his permission, so he sued yeah it was a whole thing it was a whole thing oh wow yeah
he had a very interesting life i guess he did yeah sure interesting we've got no audience left
sorry anyway i mean i could talk about wrestling a lot i don't know i i know a lot of wrestling lore so
once we get on wrestling it's it's game over so just know that for future reference all right
good to know oh yeah because you because we're going to do this yesterday and you were like
oh was it yesterday yeah it was yesterday or day before you're like oh i can't because i gotta
see a you know a wax model of hulk hogan i was like all right yeah man. Yeah, man. You do you. I was bummed, man.
And you could take, like, really good photo.
And now it's, like, in the shop because, like,
So they can't, like, move it around.
And, yeah, they raised the prices in that shop.
He had a little shop down there, too.
And they raised prices like a motherfucker after he passed.
That happens. That, that happens.
how are you guys feeling?
I was thinking of maybe we leave it around here or what are you thinking?
How are you guys feeling?
Is there anything else you want to discuss for the,
for the proceedings today?
So I thought I might chill, but how do you feel how do you feel
this format goes do you do we keep it this vibe do we try to keep it more baratine less baratine
more vapid how do we want to roll this team meeting I kind of you know I kind of liked uh
today's structure you know we had we had some moments where we talked about actual on-chain things and then like we i like this like sort
of casual dipping in and out between like crypto talk and just like vapid yaps i don't know about
y'all but yeah sure thanks for me let's get some audience interaction can we get some uh
thumbs up or thumbs down how'd you like the structure of today's case?
I mean, I think it's going to depend a little bit week to week too if we do these weekly.
What's going on on Baruchain?
Because some weeks we might have some big updates to talk about for longer.
Well, there was a big update.
That was a pretty big update.
Yeah, I didn't really understand it.
So you transfer USDT from Baruchain to Bybit now.
Yeah, which is good because we haven't really had a stablecoin
that you could on-ramp and off-ramp.
August is looking brighter for bearers.
People can off-ramp easier.
Digits is going to be so happy.
Oh, actually, I'll talk about that real quick.
Have you seen the Shorzy...
Yeah, you're quite connected to this.
What is going on with the Shorzy Digits? Dude, I love... Are you on top of this? Honestly, have you seen the Shorzy? You're quite connected to this. What is going on with the Shorzy digits?
Are you on top of this, Icy?
Have you seen this on Twitter?
Oh my God, Shorzy's the fucking man.
So are you familiar with digits at all, Icy?
You might not even be too familiar with digits.
Do you know who digits is?
Digits has been around in Bera for quite a while he was one of the big
much like jenny he held a lot of bears he kind of sold them and bought them on and off again he used
to wreck the floors and then buy a bunch again um and then he built this thing called nav was it
called nav yeah it was called nav and um he pretty much he got like an rfa and he was kind of boosting
the crap out of his meme coin for a while and kind of harvesting the yield himself.
And then he dumped a bunch.
So like he's got, he's left a pretty sour taste on Barra Chain on his departure.
And on top of that, he's been like shitting on Barra a lot on the timeline.
In a particularly kind of butthurt, kind of like salty ex-boyfriend kind of way,
like is kind of the vibe.
Would you say that's fair, Red?
That's kind of the way he's carrying himself?
Yeah. way like it's kind of the vibe would you say that's fair red that's kind of his the way he's carrying himself yeah and i think my some of my favorite was like i think initially smoky would
interact with him a little bit because like again it was very butthurt like again i i don't want
people to lose money um and it sucks when people do but like sometimes you have to have a little
patience too and like let things play out before you just drop everything and move.
And Digis has dumped on a lot of people here.
So it's not like he is like, oh, I'm doing so bad.
He's dumped on a lot of people's heads.
Yeah, he's always talking about losing money.
And then people pull up a tweet where it's like,
oh, I made a million dollars on bear chain NFTs.
And it's like, so you're up, dickhead.
A lot of us aren't up. And you're being dickhead like you're up a lot of us a lot of us
aren't up and you're being a dick and he he was a big puff paw guy i remember talking to him in
the puff paw telegram a couple times uh and it's like what are you doing yeah he'll just he'll
always post charts of bear and just like yeah it's more like engagement for me at this point but yeah
shorzy well sure great poster bear yeah sorry go ahead to contextualize this for ic as yeah shorzy well sure's a great poster and bear yeah sorry go ahead to contextualize
this for ic as well shorzy is like a he's an og he's been around forever in bearer um he's not
always the most active member but he's always been there he's always been a voice in the community
and he's also been pretty forthcoming about his opinions like he's happy to to throw shade and
talk shit and i think he's decided he's had enough of digits bullshit from what it looks like right
he's he's had enough of digits talking shit about bear change he's like you know what fuck you
and i'll probably leave the rest of the story to you red like where he's kind of gone in pretty
hard on twitter at digits right like what's he been saying oh it was so good and that that picture
because you you had sent it to me and was like this is yeah like he he put a picture of digits
as his pfp for like a couple days it was so funny you know his PFP for a couple days. It was so funny.
No, it wasn't even a couple days.
It was like 12 hours, and he changed it back.
I think he thought he went too far on that one.
But yeah, he's just been shitting on him and his business partner, too.
And I don't know, man. I'm always going to have Shorzy's back because he's β
like we were talking the other day.
We were talking about Dolomite and lending and stuff
and just some different strategies.
He's just like, I'm not leaving. Barra to 100 and i'm just like i fucking love this guy man like he you and you can tell he's serious like he's gonna be here
and you need those people those people that are diehards and they'll they'll shit talk for you
you don't have to have um foundation members shit talking you can have the community just doing it
for you um and he's one of those guys.
And, yeah, he's fucking funny as fuck, man.
He just shits on digits all the time.
And what was β they just posted the Barra chart,
and then Mop underneath of him posted the Nav chart, which is worse.
He did Nav to Barra, didn't he?
Nav to Barra. He did Nav to Barra, didn't he? Nav to Barra.
And then he got Inverse Brod,
which Inverse Brod doesn't really cover Barra Chain too much,
It was so fucking good, man.
But yeah, people just kind of hate on him because, yeah,
he did Nav, but he didn't do it very long,
and he was very selective about when he bribed
so that he would get a lot of it.
Yeah, he was very extractive, i think it's fair to say um yes that's that's a good synopsis of of digits on
barachain was just yeah just extractive and didn't really care about the community the long term it
was just it was just a trade for him which that's fine it's crypto you can do what you want but like
i don't know he made it seem like he was going to be a long-term guy and just quit after like what a few months you know it's like yeah he kept he kept
twisting the knife as well like when he got out he just wouldn't shut the fuck up and it's just
like that's what i think shawzy's like all right you need to shut the fuck up he's kind of like
we've we've learned because bearer has been kicked bars down quite a lot by a lot of people that
those those those handful of enforcers in the community are quite nice to have people
I would say is another one.
It's nice to have those people that come in and get a bit scrappy when,
when things get a bit rough with some people.
So it has been nice to see those people kind of do a bit of the dirty work.
Would you agree with that?
there was a post or like a reply I think Jack made at
one point people got really offended by it and I think it just comes down to like foundation members
have to toe the line they have to walk a very fine line and I don't envy their position because
with like ticker Bitcoin it's like any of us can kind of say whatever the fuck we want and it's a
meme coin so so whatever.
But when you're an actual L1, you have to toe the line.
And Smokey does an incredible job of that, not to glaze too hard, but he just does a really good job of not getting upset.
I know Jack recently, he had some reply where people were like, you shouldn't have said that, you didn't need to do that.
And he even acknowledged it, which is really great when people just acknowledge, like, hey, I shouldn't have said that or should have phrased it differently.
But yeah, when you have people in your community that will just do it for you, it makes your job as a foundation member, as a team member a lot easier because it's like you don't have to worry about it.
You just, yeah, community's got them.
That's what happens in the ticker ticker bitcoin telegram a lot too
we don't even have to like shit talk it's just the community just kind of handles it uh it's
kind of great yeah i i know i know what you mean you know being a being the community lead of
baritone sometimes i'm like dude if i wasn't in the position i was i would bully the shit out of
you right now but you know you gotta someone's you gotta be nice but that i know you mean by
having the community step in and kind of like enforce for you based yeah you just you gotta
be kind of aligned on like the very core values of what the project is and what you're about
because like you know some people will come in just from personal experience,
come and take a Bitcoin and be like, Oh,
someone sold or this or that.
And then we get a little colorful with some of the language.
I don't want to say all of it,
but like just join the telegram and you'll see it every now and then.
But yeah, you know, you, you have to be aligned though.
You have to like, this is, this is what we're about.
And we're very schizophrenic.
So you can kind of just say and do whatever you want.
And everyone's just like, yeah, makes sense.
It's like, all right, cool.
Yeah, community enforcers, very unsung heroes in crypto.
When you don't, you're not on the team,
you do have a vested interest
because you have the tokens or the NFTs,
but you don't have to answer to anybody.
Although sometimes they should
because sometimes people go a little far,
but that's a story for another day.
Yeah, I think I'll be back home next week.
I don't know if we're planning on doing this Fridays.
I think I get back home Thursday.
So if we end up doing it next week, same day,
probably would work out pretty good timing-wise.
But then that's Friday evening for the Eurogang.
So maybe we'd want to not do Fridays.
Maybe we do like Thursdays.
Yeah, we can do Friday next week for Red and then maybe Thursdays going forward.
Yeah, I was going to say Thursday.
Yeah, I'll be kind of busy next week unless we do it like Monday,
but that's literally just three days from now.
But the rest of the days I'm kind of tied up.
I'll be a little busy. Are you getting tied up? No, I'm kind of tied up. I'll be a little busy.
No, I'm not getting tied up, Tez.
No, my β because I'm house-sitting because some family members went out of the country.
So, like, they're coming back, and I want to see them for a little bit before I leave.
So, yeah, I'll just be busy.
When they're back stateside, as you guys say busy when they're back stateside as you guys say
we're gonna be back stateside you know is that what you guys say no um maybe i guess
i don't say that because i don't travel out of the country but yeah i'm sure some people say it
well icy's back stateside she was uh over over in France and now she's back stateside.
Wait, I got a sound for that.
now that I've experienced
of just being able to go outside,
walk around places people are
actually outside i come back to the u.s and i'm like man you guys didn't go outside it's just not
a lot of u.s cities are walkable you know like you need a car to go places whereas like in at least
where i was in france like you can just like walk to your destination.
And like, I really enjoyed that.
Like I can, it was so easy to be like, oh, I'm just going to walk down to a coffee shop
or I'm going to walk down to the grocery store, yada, yada.
You know, like you don't really, there's very few cities in the U.S. where you can do that.
Yeah, New York is one for sure.
I would say depending on where you live in L.A.,
but again, it depends on where you live.
But yeah, New York is like, I think the only,
that and Chicago are the only cities
that I can think of off tops
that are very walkable in that regard.
Like most of the U S is like,
you need a car or ride share or you need some sort of a vehicle to get where
Yeah, I get you. I get you. I mean, yeah,
the French Riviera is very idyllic. It's, it's a, it's tough to,
Yeah. It's gorgeous there for sure.
So you're going to move to France?
You're going to be a French lady?
Well, no, because the French crypto tax laws are just fucking dumb.
You're going to be a millionaire.
You need to deposit a million dollars in a bank or some crazy shit to live in Monaco.
Yeah, no, I did go up to Monaco one of the days I was there to go to a beach there.
And dude, that was money.
Before we wrap, Red, now you've got your passport,
what's the first country you're going to visit non-stateside?
It's less about having a passport and more about having the financials to travel.
Sounds like Mexico is on the list.
Hey, Vito, you've got yourself a client.
Yeah, well, I wanted to go to Australia and visit Tez,
but Tez is in Thailand now.
Not sure where life's going to take me,
but I have the option now, which is cool.
Oh, shit. We said Mexico and Vico requested.
No, I think he's from France.
Hey, guys. I just want to pass by say I love you all thanks for doing this space much appreciated having various yapping with
