hey can you hear me all right? I can hear you.
I'm hiding in my bathroom.
So I just put the basement.
I'm seriously? I'm just like a room away.
I'm like, oh, I'm going to go in here and shut the door.
Oh, no, my earphones have lost connection.
All right, we're back on again.
Can you hear me okay through these headphones, by the way?
Yeah, I can hear you really well.
Yeah, I've got my loudspeaker.
I need some better headphones.
I don't feel like the ones I have,
I don't feel like people can hear me properly.
Oh, I've got like, this is so bad because I've literally gone through three sets of headphones
trying to find one that actually has good quality sound.
You buy them and you think, oh, yeah, these are going to be good.
And then you actually start using them.
Good morning. Good to see you there welcome welcome
yeah we're just just preparing getting organized um yeah so wait for a few more people to jump on
in and then we'll we'll kick it off and maddie i hope you don't mind i am going to read your um ode to the disciples of the disc because I loved that so much
you know what I think it's a great opening prayer for this space I absolutely 100% agree and when
we when we've got a few more people in the room I am going to read that because seriously I think
that kind of sets the scene for the kind of X spaces that we want to run.
I'm so happy you appreciated that because I was like, I don't know if this is like too niche.
I feel like this is so niche.
It's really, really funny because like you go through so many X spaces and, you know, you have a lot of people that you're in contact with on X.
But then you find another Australian and it's like friends.
It doesn't matter what part of the country you're from.
We are friends right now.
I feel like it's because we're at work.
Like as much as I love all the Americans
and I love all the spaces I feel like I'm constantly trying to learn like their humor
their everything whereas as soon as I run to an Aussie I'm like oh fucking g'day.
Absolutely and that's exactly it because and you know I know we want to talk about this later on
but you know it's kind of a thing where we do have a really specific humour.
And I think it kind of translates quite well to English people because obviously the Australian humour comes from Cockney.
But it doesn't necessarily always translate so well to other people.
And I think sometimes I've said some stuff on X F faces and there's been tumbleweeds, man.
There's been fucking tumbleweeds.
And it's usually something that comes off really harsh
because I feel like our humour is very self-inflicting.
Like we're willing to absolutely take the piss out of ourselves
and our mates and then you do it and someone doesn't get it
and you're like, oh, I don't even know.
Oh, I shouldn't have said that. I don't know how to explain that I wasn't trying to be me totally 100% and and you know I think the more
we actually do x faces and kind of put ourselves out there the more people will get that when we
call people an asshole we don't actually mean that We probably mean you're really cool and I really like you.
Be my friend. Yeah, I'm willing to call you my friendly words that I call my other friends and
family. Well, anyway, what time is it? Six minutes past. We'll probably pick up a few more people,
but we might as well kick off with our humor. I tricky is in the room hello tricky hey tricky how you going so i think um we're probably
probably the only aussies in here at the moment so we're making all these aussie humor jokes but
you know what that's a-okay it's pretty much what everyone gets anyway whenever i'm entering
spaces i can't help it i'm too australian i't like Well, that's one of the things that I actually wanted to ask you later on. And I'm not going
to jump ahead, even though like, you know, my brain jumps ahead at a million miles an hour. But
I did actually want to ask you that about, you know, do you ever actually have to moderate like
and tone down your humour for international audience so that you don't quite scare people away.
Honestly, I try not to though because I feel like when I do filter myself
and think about it too much, it causes too much anxiety.
Like even with commenting, everything, I just try and do it off the dome.
I'm very open about the fact that I'm always joking,
like I'm always having a laugh on here, don't take it too seriously.
And I just try and go with that.
And on the opposing end, I never get offended by anything ever in the space and in Twitter ever.
And so I hope that people always joke me that way, please.
It's too much effort to be censored.
100%. 100%. Oh, my God. You you've just you yeah you've hit it totally and i try and do the same like i was in an x-face ages ago and you know
they were they were sort of talking about their day and whatnot and and i piped in and said i'm
eating a cheese toasty and my dogs are licking my toes so you know yeah I just I just kind of cruise along and just be me as I am. But I feel like it's
refreshing in this space a lot. Like I feel like people do appreciate it here and there. Like I
said in a space the other day, like, I'm not here to fuck spiders. And I've heard other people,
I've heard that same guy like say it in other places. And I'm like, oh, like, he liked my little saying.
You know, I've said similar things.
Like, I said, oh, my God, that dude's gone troppo.
And everyone thought I meant he'd gone on holidays to a tropical paradise somewhere.
And I was like, no, it means he's lost his marbles.
It's a very Aussie thing.
But, yeah, all right, I am going to read your Disciples of the Disc because, man, that just, like, seriously, that's it.
If you're a music fan, which I'm, like, a massive music head,
and it doesn't matter what genre it is, it really doesn't. I'm a music fan, which I'm like a massive music head. Yeah, me too.
And it doesn't matter what genre it is, it really doesn't. Like I will rock everything from 80s British punk right the way through to, you know, Italian opera.
And I read this, and being like a girl who used to –
like I've seen your page.
You are a gym bunny from hell.
But I used to be – oh, look, I used to love it, and I was great.
I used to be the girl that used to go at like 4 a.m. in the morning
and then go again at the nighttime as well.
But I had like a real set playlist and I'm going to admit it I hung on to my disc man like
I hung on I hung on to that bastard thing for so long because I had all of my like ministry of
sound and like all these really really cool workout cds that i just loved and then the
pressure got too much i know the pressure got too much too embarrassing and i gave you start actually
i gave in i gave in to the ipod and then i gave in to spotify but i'm gonna read this it was
just yeah so cool it's oh great and spinning disciples of the disc.
We have strayed from the true path.
Our ears are drowned in curated emptiness, fed by a thousand soulless ads that demand coin for silence.
Oh, Discman Lords, guardians of the portable shrine, grant us the strength to reject these hollow subscriptions.
Let not our spirits be divided.
Teach us again the joy of the sacred ceremony of the battery change.
The justice of music owned, not least.
We beg you, restore to us the truth of the album order,
the freedom to listen without surveillance or surcharge.
Spin once more in our pockets, palms and hearts.
Forever in your discs we pray.
I think that is just, that is today's blessing, man.
That is today's blessing on this X space.
Like, yeah, I'm going to rock it.
Look, hey, I no longer own a Walkman.
But I'm still with you in this.
Like sisters in solidarity for the freaking Walkman, man.
It will forever be the Walkman.
Like I feel like the feeling of it, like just like how it opens,
I feel like opening a disc case like it has a smell it has a booklet and an experience yeah it does and
you know you used to get the cd and like have a look at all the stuff that was in the cover like
literally the last cd I actually bought was like Post Malone and I could opened up and had this really cool picture in there and I was like, oh, Posty, I love you so much that you've just, you know, held true to the CD it in the Xbox or the PlayStation. And it's just, it's not the same.
It's not the same as having it in your pocket.
And I feel like, you know, the ads kill me.
Like I am old and I like YouTube and I refuse to pay for it.
And I can't fucking stand the ads.
Well, I've given in and I've paid for my Spotify subscription because the ads were just doing my head in.
And it always reminds me, like, I went to a beautician ages ago.
And, you know, this is such a random conversation.
But anyway, I went to this beautician and she had
spotify playing and she obviously did not have spotify premium so you know you just kind of get
into the zone of of bliss of having a massage and all of a sudden someone is screaming at you
selling you electrical goods through your spot through a spotify so yeah no i can't do it i just
can't do it i know oh can't do it. I know.
But I guess, you know, I wanted to ask you, like, you know,
this kind of came up, but what was the first CD you bought?
The first CD I ever bought, do you remember those, like, fresh hits?
Was that what it was called, like, fresh hits of summer?
And it would have, like, pretty tears and, like, everything on it.
I feel like cool people had those CDs.
I bought it, like, literally just to be cool, like, for class, like, to be to be able to like say at school, like, yeah, I've got it too. I've listened
to all the songs because that's what it was like. You had to like go to EB Games or what was the
other one called? It started with an F. Yes. Oh my God. It's gone from my head. See, you said you're
too old. I'm too old too. I can't remember. I can't remember it, but you'd there and you'd be looking at all the cds and like ever like that's what it used to be like we
didn't just use to surf like youtube and look at what's viral online like it's all so different now
even with like like vines and like all the way back to like do you remember funniest home videos
on tv how people send in their like family home videos and that's how we used to watch like what I've fail videos now I guess. Oh no you do you remember Hey Hey It's Saturday? Yes of course I do.
And they had that one segment like and I think it's not long before they actually got canned
but they had that one segment where they used to do like three ridiculous videos and like judge which one was the best and oh I miss those days.
I know it's almost like I mean I love that we have so much access now but it's almost convoluted
there was something special about sitting in front of the tv and like watching those videos
people probably sent in on VCR tapes of their like own fail family home fails. Do you know the
irony of this is like we've talked about Walkmans
and we've talked about, like, TV, but the reality is I don't even watch TV anymore.
Like, I can't even tell you the last time I watched, like, free-to-air TV.
Like, it's all about watching YouTube or it's all about Netflix or whatever.
Oh, yeah, like, I'm a sucker to the subscriptions because of the kids as well.
We've got Disney Plus, Paramount Plus, like all of them, Netflix, Stan.
We've got like all of them so that we can watch everything.
I'm paying for all these things.
There's no way I'm going to sit there and watch free-to-air TV
and sit through bullshit ads and all the other shit now that I'm paying
Well, I, believe it or not, I live in a household, I'm the only girl in this household.
And everybody in my household loves anime.
So they're all anime freaks.
So I've got, like, all the Crunchyrolls.
Yeah, I pay for Crunchyroll too.
That's mostly for me and my husband.
And to the point where like,
because I'm a massive cosplayer,
so I'll put that out there.
So I went to the last Comic-Con and,
dressed in the Demon Slayer,
And yeah, I did the whole thing.
I did the whole thing man i was just
yeah i was happy girl dressed up as dressed up in my little anime costume i was like yeah i'm doing
this but yeah i also wanted to ask you like i guess we've kind of we've kind of touched on the
fact that we don't even know each other like we have never met before we just kind of met on the timeline and went Australian yeah like we're friends now we're friends instantly
we're Australians we're friends like yeah we're gonna rock this friendship for all it's worth on
the x timeline yeah Vest has just turned up too he's another true blue Aussie he knows what it's
like same thing with him we just met and then now we're friends, now we're mates.
Ah, it's, and, you know, it's really funny because the reality is I could get to
Southeast Asia quicker than I could get to you.
Like Australia is such an immensely large country.
And despite the fact that we kind of meet on the timeline and go Aussie friend you
know we're actually really so far away from each other and you know so many time zones in between
you and I I don't know what state you're in are you in Melbourne I'm in Sydney you're oh so you're
New South Wales okay yeah well you know I'm going to put my hand up and admit that I'm from Perth
I've actually multiple times thought I want to move to Perth.
Oh, look, it's honestly, 100%, it is so beautiful over here.
And, you know, I remember it when it was so much quieter and now we've got, you know, the whole housing crisis and our shitty government and a lot of stuff that we probably shouldn't get into on X-Bases because I'm one of those
people who cannot stand our government and cannot stand.
Let's not go into a depressive spiral crash.
No, no, no, let's not do that.
That's definitely not a good idea.
Anyway, back to the flams.
Yeah, but like it's – Perth is beautiful.
It really, really is beautiful.
But we call it WA the wait-a-while state because it's so fucking far away,
the most isolated capital city in the world.
And, yeah, we are a bit kind of – we are a bit slow on the uptake over here
and I'm happy about that.
So, yeah. But I talk a that. I'm good with that. So, yeah.
I always wanted to go to Perth because I feel like you guys have, like,
the best beaches literally in the whole of the country.
But by photo, they look like the best beaches, man.
You have, like, the most beaches as well.
They are incredible. It it's like super super
super fine white white sand and that I mean picture perfect beaches and they really are gorgeous I
mean admittedly the bad side that sand gets everywhere like there is nowhere you will not
find that sand when you leave the beach and it yeah it just if you're like me and somebody who
always has my camera out and is always taking photos of everything and wants to immortalize
every image for the rest of eternity to be forever sacrificed to the iphone gods
you know it living in perth and hanging out at the beach and the sunsets, like just watching the sun dip down over the, you know,
over the horizon and the colours and everything.
And, yeah, I'm a bit of a nerd because I paint too.
Like I'm a bit of a – I like to draw and paint and all of that.
I really want to get into painting, but I suck.
I know I have to spend a lot of time.
It doesn't matter if you suck.
I am all for – it doesn't matter how crazy, how bad it is.
Like, just get your creative freak on.
Like, get out, get your paintbrush and just – it's, like, so zanned out,
It's just – yeah, it's the coolest thing ever.
So, yeah, W.O. Beaches provide a lot of, yeah,
a lot of inspiration for the creative arts.
I always say to everyone, like, Australia has the best views,
and I say that having never travelled to any other country in my life.
I'm like, Australia has the best views, but I just believe it.
I think we do in terms of nature.
Like, if you are in into because we have
everything and nobody realizes that like they think of australia and they think we're just
like a desert or some really pretty beaches but then we got rainforest and exactly that was the
first thing i was gonna say my husband's an arborist and you know he has worked in the
rainforest in the blue mountains and no one even
realizes that we have rainforest you know everyone thinks it's an arid bushland everywhere like
outback but it's not we have an incredible country yeah and it's it's everything it's the whole world
I mean other than you know minus 30 arctic canadian snow fields we have everything just all wrapped up in one country
and we're so damn lucky in that regard like even here in wa like we don't have um as much snow as
maybe melbs but that's okay we get snow once every three years on the very highest mountain
down south about five hours away and and it's like a
pilgrimage when snow falls on the poronga ups everybody goes down there and you can't find
anywhere to park and you know it's it's horrendous and the toilet's overflowing but we we touch snow
for that two seconds like that two seconds i need to travel to do that I've got the snowy
mountains not too far away from me and I've literally never been I've never seen or touched
snow in real life oh really no I've never my family uh my family are from Scotland so we are
Scottish Danes so half the half the family is Scottish and half the family are what I like to call good quality Vikings.
But I had to go and do it.
I had to go over to the UK and over to Europe and check it all out.
But I made sure it was Scotland that I first saw snow.
So I went up to the highlands and I literally lay in the snow and did a snow angel like an absolute tourist.
Like all these people looking at me like, oh, there's another one of those people.
Yeah, I had my phone in my pocket and here's me doing a snow angel with like a real big goofy smile on my face,
thinking this is the best thing that's ever happened to me in my whole life.
thing that's ever happened to me in my whole life and not realizing that my pocket was slowly
getting more and more full of snow and with my phone and and my phone in there and like literally
the charging port of my phone was like absolutely rammed full and you're just chilling there
uh it was it was just yeah like it was a really cool experience.
And I didn't care that I temporarily had to soak my phone in a bowl of rice to try and suck the water out.
But, yeah, it didn't matter.
It was, yeah, it was an incredible experience.
And I would say to anybody, like, just do it.
Like, even, you know, down to melbourne and get up to
the snow fields there and check it out um i feel like that's just what you were saying on the
tourist like you didn't want to be a cringe tourist i don't get that when i see a tourist
in my like local park like being amazed and taking photos i'm like that is the cute like you just made
me appreciate my day so much more like look you look at you you've flown all the way here you're at my local park and
you're like taking photos in amazement and like you know what I mean I love it I'm with you on
that because I've been a tourist so many times but I I love seeing Aussies overseas like seeing Aussies overseas is really hilarious like I was in Paris
and for anyone who's been to Paris and experienced the Parisian people they are
two Australian like they love Australians and I was with a group of British people
that didn't go down so well but as soon as they heard my accent they they were cool with me but
I remember sitting there in this cafe and there was these Aussies
and naturally I had to go make friends with them because, you know,
that's what we do when we're overseas.
But the guy, the guy's trying to order and in typical Aussie style,
a little bit too loud, and he's asking for a cup of Chino.
He's sitting there and he's going, no, I just want a cup of chino a cup of chino he's he's sitting there he's going no I just want a cup of chino you're so Aussie man I love you I I have to I have to come over there and sit down and
enjoy my cup of chino with you oh it was it was it was a quality moment in, you know, travel, travel cringe.
I've really heard that like Aussies are everywhere.
Like Aussies always be running into other Aussies overseas.
Yeah, I think I did quite a lot.
Like in the UK, I certainly ran into people who are from Australia
Like every barman or every bar I went into had at least one Aussie or Kiwi barman
Yeah, I guess all the friends I know that went overseas to work,
they're like, oh, I got a job at a bar.
Yeah, and that's totally it.
I mean, I think Paris was a little bit different because I was so shocked that just going into like a supermarket, they had badges and the badges said which languages they spoke.
And, you know, some of them spoke five different languages.
blown away by that because I was just sort of like no Australian could get by working out as a
checkout chick in Paris because you know we possibly speak really poor English and then a
hint of a language that we learned in high school for three years that we speak really really badly
like I speak some French but oh my god I know I find it incredible when people are multilingual when I was at uni
I studied linguistics for a bit and there was a guy in my class and he spoke 10 languages and he
was like learning more because he wanted to be a translator and he wasn't Australian born because
they never are when they speak that many languages but it was just crazy I was like I can't believe
you literally speak like and all different like Chinese Russian German Spanish I'm like that's crazy to me that's to me that is just next level
brilliance because like learning all these different languages but learning them well
is just something I I can't get I can't get my head around so I did French and German and
neither of them if you spoke to me in did French and German and neither of them.
If you spoke to me in either French or German now, I mean,
probably a bit of French, but German, absolutely not.
It just didn't, I just couldn't.
Like I just thought, oh, my God, am I that Aussie?
Am I that Australian that I've really struggled to learn these other
as Australian that I've really struggled to learn these other languages.
And, you know, I've got a friend who is as Australian as you can get,
and he decided he was going to teach himself Japanese.
And literally he taught himself Japanese.
And then he went over to Japan and, you know,
he was conversing really easily.
Because the only way you really can learn is
to throw yourself in and start conversating with people in another language, and I feel like I
would just get discombobulated and overwhelmed. Discombobulated, I love that word. I love that
word so much. I feel like there's people, like, I remember when my cousins went to live in Belgium
because their dad got a job there for, like, in Belgium all of the kids speak three languages English Dutch and French I think and some of them
German as well and that's just like how they're raised and I feel like when you're raised with
multiple languages maybe it's easier for your brain to learn other languages but I'm just here
like I was always speaking like a bogan. This is hard.
Yeah, like me in the eastern suburbs of Perth speaking like true Aussie bogan.
But I think like being overseas and spending a lot of time overseas,
I do think my accent changed quite a bit because there's been heaps of times that people have asked me what part of the UK I'm from and have said,
posh yeah some people even say that to me on spaces they'll be like oh are you British I'm like
no not at all uh no I ran into a guy on space the other day and he was like
I was so disappointed to go on your page and see that you had the Aussie flag up there because I
was I could have sworn you're a Kiwi.
Yeah I get that too but I heard you say one word that reminded me of Kiwi.
I think it's just like different like every part of Australia has slightly different accents as well.
Like I feel like the WA accent is a little bit different to New South Wales and Queensland sounds a little bit different and we all have like a little bit different colloquials and some of the Kiwis have like infiltrated some of the language in some areas.
Oh totally you know the the really interesting one that from WA over to New South Wales
is the word beer. Beer. And I know you don't say it. Beer say yeah yeah and you say to me it's not yeah to us
it's here okay because I've been trying to work it out because I feel like Americans are on this
when they get on spaces they'll hear each other's accents and they'll be like oh you're from there
you're from there I can't fucking tell it all with australians where you're from by your
accent oh you you can if you listen and you um you hear specific words you can actually pick up
the differences and that is the really big one it's for us it's bia and you know i'm over here
and i know as i said you you will say it here and beer. You're making me feel posh.
So you'll easily be able to pick up someone who's from Western Australia
based on how they say those couple of words.
There's a lesson in East Coast, West Coast dialect for you.
Every time I hear East Coast, West Coast,
even I think about America, it's like we're like all arranged by TV.
I was saying this, like I posted a status the other day wearing a hoodie,
like it's finally hoodie season here.
And all these Americans were like, whoa, man,
it's not just the time zones.
It really is like so opposite.
It's like the hottest day of the year where they are.
And I'm like putting my hoodie
on and I remember as a kid watching tv I never understood the big deal of the 4th of July I'd be
like oh the 4th of July why does everyone in America talk about the 4th of July the coldest
fucking day of the year it's miserable I know it's it's such a huge thing like you know all these
these things that we take for granted here in Australia. And I guess we don't even think about it until we're in a place like X or X spaces. And then it becomes so incredibly obvious how isolated we are in our tiny little zone in the southern hemisphere in literally this massive giant continent I mean
how long if I was going to come to you now I think I worked it out I would have to walk for like
3,800 and something or other hours and you wouldn't survive the middle you'd have to walk the coast
which would double it I'd be I'd be walking for about four months just to pop over and visit you.
I remember my mum was leaving Australia and because she flew from Sydney,
like, directly, like, across the whole of Australia,
she, like, fell asleep and woke up in six hours and she was still flying over Australia.
And she's like, I'm still in Australia.
Yeah, look, it's an incredible thing.
And I've got lots of questions that I kind of want to raise in relation to this because, yeah, it's such a cool conversation to have with another Aussie in like in an X space.
But I had noticed that Em has just popped into the room.
For those of you who don't know Em, Em is part of the Chatt team and runs the House of Chadet X Spaces and
does an exceptional job with Mrs. Ashok. So it's really cool to have Em in our X Space.
Em, you will have to excuse us. We are going to talk up a whole heap of Aussie language
and Aussie culture and yeah, completely be ourselves today so it's really
nice to to just be in this space and just be um yeah just just rocking rocking the nation
is what what Maddie and I are doing we're just getting to know each other in here as
well like casual Aussies do we've got Vest up here to speak as well hey Vest how you
going mate like casual Aussies do. We've got Vest up here to speak as well. Hey, Vest, how you going, mate?
He might have to do a lot.
I have so much trouble getting in spaces sometimes. I don't know if it's my Aussie Wi-Fi, but I just have so much trouble staying up as
a speaker sometimes. I don't want to jinx it. It's all fine today.
Yeah, well, my internet's pretty good up here, but, oh, he's back.
He's rugged and he's come back.
He'll probably... Request the mic vest
when you're ready and we'll we'll give
you the tick but in the mate in the meantime Maddy I wanted to ask you like
where did you come from in terms of like the first time I met you you didn't have
your blue tick and this motherfucker out of nowhere this m what is it m mog no i've got that wrong oh come on oh
yeah because i'm og now yeah it's got my moguls on my friend gave them to me you don't have to
tell me what that is because i don't know what that is well so i've got my motherfucker nft
that's my pfp and then it's got the blue cap which you can see in the listeners the arborist my husband
he's also got a blue cap and we have like seven other blue capped that's just like a little mini
random thing on the side but then i've got these vr moguls on and that's like you know that's the
moggers the whole mog coin the whole mog vibe um yeah they they put some moguls on me so that I can freely mog the entire internet.
I love it. Okay, that's really cool. But yeah, as for where I came from, my husband has been
into crypto for like years, but he didn't start his own project and start doing his own thing
until like November last year. And obviously, like he's putting his heart and soul into something
And I have no idea what's going on.
I don't even know what an NFT is.
I don't even know what anything is.
I was like struggling to even contribute, like listen to conversations properly.
And I was like, I'm just going to get in on crypto Twitter.
I'm just going to start jumping in spaces.
I'm just going to start ruthlessly trying to learn, even if I sound like an idiot.
And that's pretty much where I came from. I just ended up loving it I ended up really
loving it the memes just really do it for me all the jokes out here really just do it for me and I
ended up just staying and being like fuck it I want to like you know be a person in this cool shit yeah what's going on yeah I look I totally get that
I've been in crypto since 2009 and I have like this story about I bought
Bitcoin yes I bought Bitcoin when it was like $15 or something. And yeah, and I held it for a while and then got freaked out by, you know, my nana.
You're just giving your money away.
So, yeah, I am that person that then sold my Bitcoin that I was holding.
And now it's like the story that i tell in spaces and every
now and again i have a moment you know where sad music plays in the background yeah i'm like i had
what could have been i know i get it man i get it because i remember back in 2010 sitting on my
computer with a little pop-up of like buy this bitcoin for a fucking dollar and i
was like oh what's that scam i don't click scams idiot yeah yeah that's that's me but i i kind of
went through that you know i bought my bitcoin and i was like crypto i'm gonna be i'm gonna be
a crypto girl and all of that and then i got out of it for a while and I got back into it and I was buying, you know, Solana and I made quite a bit of money, which was really, really cool.
And then had another bad experience and I was like, oh, I'm out of here.
And then, yeah, and then last year got back into it again and got heavily into a Mean Coin project and was just killer shiller number one and loved it so so so
much um but then as is the way with with projects the devs kind of lost interest and they didn't
they didn't rug that one they just disappeared and it just kind of all died off which was really really sad and then I kind of got
involved in a subsequent project from that and just I loved it I loved being part of the the
mod team and I loved the community and I loved posting it's so it's so hard to explain to normies
like my family my parents my friends that aren't into this like what what am i doing
why am i talking to these little characters in spaces with like weird names like it's so hard
to explain because it's so new it's so different uh i i talked to it like i talked to my friends
and family and i'm like oh you know i was talking to wolf last night and and the the look on the
glazed over look on their face they just kind just kind of like, what are you talking about?
I was talking about my dream.
And let alone when you talk about actually using like hard-earned money
to buy like a literal picture on the internet, it's just,
And I feel like you can't really explain
it they have to kind of see it it's got to become more normalized do you know it's really really
hard to engage people who aren't into um crypto or into nfts in a conversation because you know
you start talking to them about the blockchain or you start talking to them about how you've
got to transfer your money as an aussie from you know coin spot then over to phantom and
then if you want to go into something else and you want to get on the ape chain or you want to
and trying to explain all of that and how to bridge and there's just as I said before it's
just tumbleweeds like they just don't they don't quite get it and I'm like on this mission at the moment to like
onboard women into into web3 and into crypto and I have all of my female friends like I don't really
I don't I have two separate lives really like my my friends who know me as a as a person and then
my people who are kind of web3 people and you know never never the two
shall meet really but I've almost started to kind of engage on like my actual social circle and be
like no crypto is awesome and you're a girl and you're gonna love this and I'm gonna explain it
to you so I should realize that there's a real avenue here
there's not many women in this that are like genuinely in it for crypto to learn you know as
like you know like for the right reasons you know what i mean in the spaces talking about intellectual
smart shit in the crypto spaces there is not fucking many at all no there's really not and
you know to explain it to them so what I ended up
doing was actually like I wrote a book and and I'll have to share it with you out outside of
you know this space so you can have a read of it but I did it in a from like a real basic
point of view but I did it almost like your typical self-help book where it's really really funny and it's kind of like all right so these are all the pitfalls and these are all the things
that I did which were really stupid and this is all the stuff that can happen but this is all the
really cool stuff that can happen and all the wonderful people that you meet and and I you
know I kind of did it in a very self-deprecating manner, but also making fun of it, but then also highlighting how cool it is as well.
So, like, I'm on this mad mission right now.
That's awesome, though, because I was literally saying last night to my husband, because all this shit is so hard and it makes it even harder that no one gets it.
all this shit is so hard and it makes it even harder that no one gets it.
Like in 15, near 10, 15 years,
we could write a book about this experience and how fucking hard it is because
no one knows what the fuck's going on half the time,
and no disrespect to any of the guys in the room because I love you all.
And I have so many male friends on X and, you know,
within this kind of space and I really respect all of them.
But getting called bro all the time, like I've gotten to the point now
where I actually respond with, hey, sweet pea.
I just say, I'm just like, I'm just merging with the boys.
Yeah, well, I could definitely go that way,
but I decided I was just going to make light of it and just kind of like,
yeah, like, hey, sweetie, how's it going?
It probably earns you better because they probably think I'm another one
of those fake accounts that's actually a man with, like, a girl picture.
Oh, fake accounts. Like, that's actually a man with like a girl picture oh fake accounts like that's
another whole that's another whole thing how many women have you talked to in this space thinking
they were a woman just to realize they're probably not you're like bro i was calling you like babe
just do you know that i had like going back say about a month ago I got my account up to nearly 7,000
followers and then all of a sudden I know the rules changed within you know the algorithm and
within x and in just probably about one week or the space of one week I lost about a thousand
followers and I was like I have been talking to those motherfuckers
all this time and they're all like bots or fake accounts or whatever whatever whatever so
yeah it was it was kind of like a real rude awakening about how many fake accounts are out
there it's actually overwhelming how much fake accounts there is,
how many scammers there is,
how many people that will like be genuine for like weeks just to try and
And that's another thing that I put in the book.
And I've just seen that crypto fam.
I know you've been trying to get hold of me. Sorry. Hey, how are you? another thing that i put in the book and i've just seen that crypto fam hello crypto fam i know
you've been trying to get hold of me sorry hey how are you crypto freya it's so good to hear from
you maddie what is going on fam what's going on build it up tag a few more friends, fam. We've got to grow.
And we've just been saying that we are out here.
We are out here repping the Australian voice.
So, you know, we know for you it's still Thursday.
For us, for Maddie, it's lunchtime Friday.
For me, it's like, what is it now, 9.45 a.m. Friday.
So we've got this whole time zone thing going on.
I always kind of laugh and joke because an NFT will be launched
and it's like, you know, it's going to be really reasonable time,
10 a.m. Eastern Standard Time.
And I'm like, yeah, that's like 1 a.m. for me.
And then, you know, in a couple hours from now, Twitter's just dead.
Nothing on the timeline, no interactions with shit.
And then at what, 11 p.m. tonight, you all wake up again.
I know like I'm a little bit luckier than you because I've got that three hour buffer so they
Like I'm a little bit luckier than you because I've got that three-hour buffer.
all of the northern hemisphere come online just you know after I've done dinner and I'm like
sitting down to chill and I'm kind of like yes they're all back online let's have some fun
but for that whole time period during like my working day and your your day as well it's just dead it's just dead
so crypto fam i am like so impressed that you have dropped into our space we had tricky in the space
earlier on as well so i'm like so stoked that you've dropped in so you know feel free catch me
up what's been going on crypto freya what are you up to now? What Web3 community are you building? I want to know all about it.
and where we've been and what's brought us here.
And I was sort of saying that I was involved in a project
and the second project got rugged,
which was really sad because it had so, so, so much potential.
So I've kind of been floating around in Web3,
in crypto space, in crypto Twitter since that point,
just loving all over nfts and just being like a total nft groupie because
all of a sudden i discovered like all of a sudden i discovered this love for these
you know as maddie put it let's pay hard-earned money for for these little these little pictures and that's pretty much all i've
been doing i've just been loving all over nft so i'm not really um involved in any projects at the
moment just involved in my love of life and i'm about to head off in uh two weeks time i'm about
to head off to southeast asia four weeks. Wow, beautiful.
You're just trying to get a jump off on that time zone difference, aren't you?
You're just trying to get ahead of the rest of your dreams.
I'm just like, if I find a place somewhere in the middle,
just somewhere in the middle, it'll be closer.
It'll be closer it'll closer to the
northern hemisphere please so i just think we've got a new speaker up on the space mate how you
going good to have you here welcome krivik is that his name yeah hello everybody, hello Crypto fam
Yeah, we follow each other already, what is going on?
How are you going here, Neshoja?
Yeah, I'm going really well
I know I've been in your X-Bases before
And I know we've talked quite a lot
So it's really good that you've come into our XBase thank you
yeah of course so I would like to introduce myself I'm Priv
from Malaysia, Southeast Asia yeah if you guys who join who listening
I'm just tapping in to social space um yeah i would like to connect
everyone yeah that that's a great idea and you know i always forget to do this in space because
i'm you know i i gotta remember to do my emojis and to also tell everybody follow everybody in
the group like you know it's always really great to make more connections.
And, yeah, we were just saying.
I get put up in the convo.
And we've just been talking about the fact that, you know,
you know, I lost like a thousand followers in that big cull. So, you know, we've got to build
I lost like 1,000 followers in that big cull.
up our following with real people and people that we meet in spaces that we really vibe with. So,
yeah, make sure everybody follows Crick Monster and, yeah, follows everyone else within the space
and, yeah, we'll all follow back now that we're not allowed to use the follow word or f f what is it follow for follow or whatever we're not allowed to use that brings
back memories oh yeah those those words do you remember myspace i feel like myspace like there
will never be anything like that again that was like decorating your school locker but on the internet
with no supervision for everybody to see.
Do you know, I can tell you, do you remember when you used to have
to put like music on the front page of your MySpace?
And all of that, oh, my God, we're going back to like high school days now,
Like we are so showing our age.
We're old in this case. I came onto Twitter and I realised I'm actually old. So It's okay. It's fine. We need to embrace it. We're old.
I came onto Twitter and I realized I'm actually old.
We're all getting older every day.
Crypto Freya, you're talking about your NFT love again.
I just bought this little kitty.
Look up on the Jumbotron.
Have you heard of these guys?
I think they're called Azucacats or Azucats.
And I'm talking to the founder.
And he is going to come to my space on Saturday.
It's going to be Cats Coffee and Crypto. I host this space on Saturdays.
You should totally join in guys we're gonna talk
about different cat communities we love cats so it's gonna be a cat space only well dogs i guess
can come too if they want but it's cats that we are primarily focused on and i just love i
absolutely love the artwork on these little kitties like look at that guy isn't he dope he's so dope like
that is pretty special that is definitely special i honestly i will go and check them out because i
am yeah i'm all over like discord for me at the moment is i mean we don't like to say this but
discord is like a drug for me at the moment i am all over
all these nft communities just i actually i saved a meme and i'm gonna have to post it in the
comments that reminded me like of exactly what you're saying it was like sell me this pen and
then in the next slide it was like it's an nft
that's that look that's exactly it i mean i have have specific taste in in nfts so you know if there's
if it kind of falls outside the scope of of what i like i probably wouldn't go down that path but
i just love it and like i don't know how i've gone from say two months ago i think I owned one NFT and now I own literally thousands of NFTs.
People don't realise that.
Well, I feel like in 10 years, the old lady across the road is going to own an NFT and she's not even going to realise because that's how she has her membership to the local bowling club.
Because I feel like this is all going to become so mainstream because it's genius.
And I think there's more and more of that happening now.
Like I'm seeing that in sort of the kind of the way it's set up
and the way we're doing things.
And it's not just images anymore.
It's like so many of the things that we're buying are, you know,
if you own this NFT in quotations, that is going to get you into this community.
And this is going to get you.
It's all about the community.
Like, it's like, you know, if you can spend enough money to buy this really exclusive NFT, you get into this group of other people that also have a lot of money.
They can put a lot of money they can put a lot
of money into exclusive nfts and you're in there now in a fucking group chat with them like that's
huge um it's hard for the normies to understand but i get it i fucking definitely get it it's
going to be huge but what what an incredible cultural thing that is simply by changing your
pfp buying so spending money on a you you know, an image, realistically, that's what it is.
Putting it on your PFP, all of a sudden, just like what we were saying earlier on, like I saw your Aussie flag and man, we are friends.
We are friends for life now because you're an Aussie, I'm an Aussie.
So therefore, we are joined.
But it's the same like with nfts like you you buy an
nft you put it in your pfp boom we are friends and you're friends with everybody else that owns
that same exactly yeah and if you all of a sudden start getting followers and you know you follow
them back and you're a part of this community. And in the same way, I've actually heard people like that it can get
a little bit like drama because if you change your PFP,
if you move over to a different like NFT, it's like are you shunned
Yeah, I've heard about that politics side of it as well.
And as much as, you know, I absolutely love so many
of the NFT communities, I'm maintaining my original PFP of me purely for that reason.
Like, you know, I'm going to love you and I'm going to be part of you and I'm going to contribute and I'm going to shill and I'm going to do all this stuff.
But I'm still me and I'm not changing that so you don't want to get much into the drama and
the stress like how we were saying before like not to think about filtering yourself too much
and just don't be offended yourself and never end to offend other people and it's just that's
it's it's less stressful that way not constantly worrying about what you're saying oh man you're
like my soul sister I love I love what you've got to say that's you're exactly
right like just you've got to be yourself and and I think we're really really privileged in that
sense because we are brought up from you know day dot to not be offended by stuff you know
anything can be said to us and it just goes in one side out the other side we laugh we move on and you know it's it's all good and i think
that's one of the best traits we have yeah so and i have a rule with myself i never ever delete a
post like because you know a lot of you everyone gets post regret i'm going to call it post regret
you post something it doesn't do well you're like oh my god i want to delete it no how dare you doubt
yourself never delete your posts your words were beautiful and they're like oh my god i want to delete it no how dare you doubt yourself never delete
your bones your bones were beautiful and they're the same as they were before just because no one
else liked it fuck it just leave it there yeah 100 i can see crypto fam you've got your hand up
yeah i have a question so you said tricky buddha stopped by um did he talk to you about a joint space next week with crypto fam radio because he dm'd me
and he was like yeah uh i totally will co-host her crypto freya i'm like okay cool we're gonna do
this what day he never got back to me so tricky tricky yeah he talked to you yet no he didn't but um i will
i will pester him like yeah because i i look i love tricky and i i love getting in tricky spaces
as well because he's just such an incredible character and he's another person who's just
so authentically himself and i I really, really respect that.
So when you initially said, yeah, get in a space with Tricky, I was like, hey, yeah, I'll do that.
So I'm totally all up for that.
So and, you know, I haven't spoken to him, but I will.
We need a day and time by Sunday. My Sunday.
Cause the schedule comes out.
Remember I come out with a weekly schedule every single week for a,
I know, I know, I know, I know.
I know you are like a machine, man. Like seriously.
I want to do this. I want to do full time web three.
You have to start with consistency.
Because when people find that you're consistent, they're attracted to you and they keep coming back to your spaces.
Yeah, that's why we need to keep doing this a weekly thing.
It's all about knowing when you're going to appear.
Exactly. it's all about knowing when you're going to appear exactly and they'll and if you show up at the same
time in the same day every single week you'll slowly build your community over time but you
got to be consistent right so i know i know and you're dr turkey get back to me before sunday my
sunday and then i can put you on the schedule for next week oh my gosh that's exciting i think that
would be awesome and i'd love to also
be on your schedule with maddie as well so yes let's do it maddie all right i don't know maddie
that well but i can't wait to learn more yes let's do it i'm excited yes we need more space
so eventually crypto fam radio is going to start paying these space hosts and radio hosts that are
running programs under CryptoFam
We're trying to build out a team of
that are going to grow your
communities, going to promote other
Web3 communities. In return,
they get a little bit of, what are
we going to call it? Oh, we
space money, something like that.
give back to you guys where it's just just for the space hosts so yeah that's in the works right now
i've got a few i have a few sponsors that i'm onboarding can you believe that crypto freya
we're gonna have sponsored spaces soon with crypto fam radio so Radio. So, yeah. That is so awesome.
And I love the fact that we've kind of, you know,
even when you did your rebranding, like, we were,
you came on one of my original spaces back then,
and I didn't even know how we came across each other.
We did from, you know, that other Aussie.
I haven't seen her around for a while though.
Another Aussie that's a girl?
Yeah, but she's got a deeper voice.
I'm trying to think who that is.
She was on the 24 hour space with you.
You're talking about Sway.
Yeah. And Sway was like on board. I haven't seen Sway in a minute talking about Sway. Yeah, Sway. I met you through Sway. Yeah.
And Sway was like on board.
I haven't seen Sway in a minute.
Yeah, she's kind of, I think she's gotten into the NFT space
And I was just saying a little while ago, obviously,
about the Discord and how incredibly you get into that space and you just kind of
you lose yourself a little bit because you go from one community to another learning how
everything works so I think she's kind of in that zone at the moment that she's really rocking the
NFT vibe and really sort of really I don't know, just learning a lot about the NFT space
and what is a high-value NFT
and how to navigate that without getting sucked into the FOMO
of buying really crappy NFTs.
So, yeah, I think she's doing that at the moment.
So, yeah, good on her, I say.
Have we got Beth up here finally?
Yo, family, we're actually coming live to you from Australia,
South Australia, Bunnings.
We just banged down one of those fucking sawdust sausages in a blanket,
a bit of mustard, a bit of barbecue sauce.
Fucking yeah, budding sanger.
The Aussie breakfast of champions, my friend.
The Bunnings sausage in a bun.
If you go to Bunnings, it's a commitment.
You know you're not just going to leave with one thing
and you need that fucking fuel, man.
Basically, it's got everything you need in it.
So when you've been doing legs the night before,
your little bitch legs, and you've been smashing them in the gym,
you've got your protein to fix that.
And then you've got your white bread,
which is basically your dog shit carbohydrates
that just turn into simple
sugars and really spike insulin and fuck you up so you've got you've got everything you need i know
this is a recorded space so i'm going to note what i'm about to say um the important thing is that
we're going to turn web 3 into australia basically um look and i know that if you're in the audience
listening and you're not australian uh i know you want to be australian and that's fine we we're very inclusive here we're multicultural
um so you're all welcome uh my brother actually nost is in the car with me my brother and i've
been in web 3 for a while we've done a lot of shit seen a lot of shit and um originally we
just thought hey this is how you make money but But you know what? Fuck money. Because at the end of the day, you can make money a million ways.
We actually reflected and thought, what do you actually want to achieve?
And basically in the Web3 space, Maddie, since you came along, I thought, what the fuck am I doing here?
No heaps of people in here.
And then this little Aussie girl came out of nowhere.
I thought, you know what?
Fucking I love this country.
So we're going to turn Web3 into Australia.
So that's the new narrative for me and that's the new story that I'm going
We're going to recruit as many Australians as we can.
And if they're not Australian, they're going to want to be Australian
So that's what we're doing out here.
And eventually the money will come as well.
You know what, mate? I like that so much. Eventually they're going to be the ones with the fucked up time zones you know you know we're going to be waking up and they're going to be all
like oh no oh no i'm going to bed i'm gonna have to stay up all night and not sleep again
yeah we're missing out we're missing out we're all a bunch of fucking losers in the wrong time zone
So basically, yeah, that's noted.
Sorry, my car is just – I put an ARB bull bar on my car.
And when you get an ARB bull bar, it fucks with the sensors.
So it just picks up ghosts that walk in front of your car.
So you're going to run some ghosts over.
But anyway, going back to what I was saying, this is recorded.
So I hope that you guys pace this recording around,
that people replay it and they understand that we're here
to take over the timeline.
I know there's a lot of timeline takeovers and all these NFTs
and like coins and shit are trying to take over the timeline.
Australia's going to take over the timeline. That's whatia is going to take over the timeline that's what's going to happen mate you can't fucking kill mate chip we're too fucking mate chippy we're just fucking exactly
exactly you tell them and the other thing i'm going to say is i will follow any australian
whether you've got one person in your followers list, even if you're
unverified, as long as you're a true blue Aussie, not some fucking piece of shit from another
country. You might not be a piece of shit, but let's just say that you're a piece of shit from
another country coming in, trying to buy Aussie land. Fuck off. You're not welcome here. We're
not allowed to buy land in your country. You're not allowed to buy land here. So we will follow
and support any Aussies. And that's how we roll out here.
He's not lying about that.
Vest is omnipresent in the space.
If you are Australian and you just, like, say the word cunt three times in a row,
Vest just materialises in your space.
It's actually fucking incredible.
That is, it's kind of like an Australian an australian like call sign isn't it
like you you say that word and everyone's like yeah that's an australian right there
and if you say that word and you're not an australian that then makes you a token australian
like i've decided like you say that word you you're now a token australian so you're one of
us totally one of us flinching because like i feel like people from other countries when they say the word cunt they're
a little bit flinchy they're a little bit scared you've got to really just like say it like a sick
cunt like just cunt and then you're like pretty much
look i'm gonna i'm gonna fully acknowledge that like at home if i if I fall down the stairs I've got a 90 kilo Irish wolfhound
now the other the other week he came barreling down the stairs and like I came barreling down
the stairs with him face first into the ground and what came out of my mouth was a series of words
that included that word but yeah I'm I'm'm kind of like I hold back in public spaces.
And I think that's from years and years and years of working, like,
super corporate jobs that it's like dropping the C-bomb for me is like
running a grater down my arm.
So I need to practice, I think.
I think I need to, like, walk around my house.
Just take about 10 minutes before bed.
Look yourself in the mirror.
Just really enunciate the words and just relax.
Yeah, I'm just going to walk around my house with headphones on
and you're going to do a recording for me
and you're just going to repeatedly say the C word.
Like, just drop that word.
And then I'm going to listen to it like a mantra and learn it.
Just like, today, you're a sick cunt legend.
You need to drop like stone the freaking crows in there
or something else as well.
Look, you know, this is part of the joy of being an Australian.
And Vest, I appreciate youralian and vest i appreciate you
my friend i appreciate you for coming in here whilst you're sitting in the bunnings car park
with for anyone who doesn't know what bunnings is bunnings is like the australian hardware store
it's like all over australia and it's massive the beginning guys lowest prices just lowest prices exactly but they
have like this tradition where they offer out the front of the bunning store they offer like a little
gazebo and all the local groups like local scout groups local sporting groups all of that sort of
stuff they operate sausage stalls and they can sell hot basically it's a hot dog it's a sausage in a bun and they
can fundraise so it's become like a really iconic Australian thing where you go to Bunnings and you
get your sausage sizzle and it's it's like the breakfast of champions so best you rock man thank
you thank you for coming in here and thank you for sharing the Aussie love. And thank you because we were saying earlier on that there's not enough women
and I'm on this mission to onboard women into Web3 and into crypto and into X
and to use their voices and to talk about how awesome all these communities are.
And I think you're right.
Like there's so few Australians like if you come across one
Australian in space you're like hey this is amazing there's one Australian here so yeah we
need to we need to have we need to take over or have a female take over and have an Aussie take
over so yeah let's rock this I thought it was. Like, it's so ingrained into our speech.
I can't help being Aussie.
I was on a spaces yesterday and they were all talking about McDonald's.
And I didn't even think twice about getting up and being like, oh, Macca's.
Like, what's your Macca's like?
Has anyone tried Macca's in Australia?
And they're all just stuck on Macca's.
I didn't even get my fucking answer because everyone just started talking
As in nobody calls it Maccas
Is that just an Aussie thing?
Literally it's just an Aussie thing right?
It's totally an Aussie thing
No one else calls it Maccas
Maccas is after the nightclub
I feel like When i when i say
mcdonald's i feel like i'm calling my child by its full name because it's in trouble i'm like
mcdonald's it sounds like well sometimes they call it mickey d's that's kind of popular as well
oh we call it oh yeah no no we call it mackie d's mackie d's where's the icon
bro that's just like it's i don't know i don't know mom and dad they want it more kid friendly
i don't know that's that's really good you know i did not know that so i did not know
mackers was an aussie thing right there So Australian, you don't even realise that you're the worst.
Everything's an Aussie thing.
It will be an Aussie thing.
You're making me miss Australia.
I used to spend so many years there.
CryptoFam is a token Aussie because he has literally lived in Australia.
There's plenty of places here to stay.
Whenever you come over, give us a shout out.
Yeah, we're from all over.
Any of you guys need to come to Australia.
I'm in New South Wales, Freya's in WA, best in South Australia.
You know, it's not like it's a really big country.
It's just like a short walk between.
It's like the span of the US.
What are you guys talking about?
Australia is freaking ginormous.
You have to take a plane ride from one edge to the other edge and you're still not even
there when you wake up and you go to sleep that's how big it is i remember crypto fam listen to this
man one of our um one of our well he used to be a client and then he turned into a mate he owns a
um a station up in northern territory uh which is right on top of Australia. And his station has 6,000, 6,000, no, 6,000, fuck, anyway, whatever.
Basically, he needs to take a square kilometres.
Anyway, he's got 6,000 kilometres of fencing, right?
And he has to take a plane to get from one side of his station to the other it takes him three hours in a crop duster
In a plane to get across his own station. Yeah, man
We got another speaker up here
Yeah, another Aussie, my husband, the arborist, that's my hubby. He's in the next room
Hey, hey arborist. That's my hubby. He's in the next room. Hey, what's up, James?
It's Friday morning, and I'm on X basis with some really cool people.
Pretty much everything right now.
far as i'm concerned it's such a comfy space most chill space on fucking twitter right now
so you guys are in the same house just in different rooms so we're both hiding from
the baby in different rooms we're not just like literally hiding from her like she's in bed and we're hiding from her
we're not gonna have to report you to like you know docks or something like that you know for
leaving your baby lying on the landroom floor so sorry guys that's an aussie joke we don't mean that that's just it don't get a
just kidding we're gonna have to put a disclaimer at the top of every one of our lives like
take not one word seriously yes there's no seriousness in this space it's all about chaos
chaos cps cool oh look hey hey and i'm interested you're an arborist tell me tell me
about you tell me about your job because like you know when people think about the most perfect job
on the planet i'm about to go working with trees like just just being a tree hugging hippie
would be my ideal job so tell tell me, tell me, what do you do?
Yeah, it starts off like that.
You love what you're doing.
But most people, unfortunately, 99% of the public fucking hate trees.
So it can be disheartening.
I think any profession can have that issue.
But most jobs you get to in the tree is like, fuck, I ate this tree, mate.
I just can't wait for it to go.
And you're like, yeah, yeah, fair enough.
But I've got to learn to understand.
I've had to compromise my understanding and learn to, well,
you know, compromising our existence with trees, codependency, you know.
We've got to compromise our space with theirs.
And, you know, if you've got a big fucking 50-meter tree
on a 50-square-meter property that's destroying your driveway,
Some might argue that it has more right to be there.
But, you know, the old guy who can't own a
fucking pension who's worked his whole life to pay off his house you don't have
20 grand to fix the fucking the fucking driveway so I know there's so many
variables yeah no I hear you like um before well going back a couple of years
I bought a massive property out in sort of the West Australian hills in a place called Gijianup.
Yes, try and pronounce that really quickly five times.
But it was literally a forest property.
And unfortunately, I had to hug and say goodbye to many of the trees on the property because they were just causing chaos
and they were in the building envelope.
So without these massive trees being, you know, saying goodbye to them,
we were not going to be able to actually build a house on the property.
So, yeah, I get what you're saying, although I'm a tree-hugging hippie
I'm all about the trees. So, yeah yeah i just think that's a really interesting job i love the tree after
planting a thousand trees you know when someone has a go at you for removing one i just tell them
to get fucked in one if there's one thing you learn in nature so things come and go
time has passed for some things it's called senescence in biology. Things are on their way out definitively.
And no matter what remedial measures we use,
when something's old, it's fucking old.
There's an episode as well, isn't there, for trees?
Like I've got mates that have 50 trees
and they can't wait for them to grow.
Yeah, that's right. You either love't wait for them to grow yeah that's right yeah
you either love them or hate them it usually goes you know they got the lighting they got
the lighting happening they got the you know the special water going on and then um yeah they can't
wait for those trees to grow ph is perfect you know ph is perfect that's right they make sure
that they're blossoming and blooming correctly and smell really
nice smell nice yeah they have to put these special carbon filters in the in the house yep
yep all that sort of stuff mate if your gardener doesn't know what percentage hydrogen is you can
get fucked i'm like i'm like as you're talking i'm actually picturing these trees growing in the shed under the bright lights.
So I'm totally catching your vibe.
I love the way that our eucalyptus trees, they have such a unique look.
Even once they, like, die and they become, like, really petrified,
I just love the way they look.
yeah I'm that person as I said before that always has my always has my camera on me so
when I see a real funky tree I'm going to be in there taking a photo so but yeah you know really
really cool that we've had so many people drop into our space today and we've already talked maddie about like
community and and what we look for but i wanted to ask you like what's your favorite like what's
your favorite community at the moment and really what makes you kind of like what makes you like
just suck into that community and love it oh hang on before we answer that question. Crypto fam's got his hand up. Crypto fam, jump on in.
Oh, shoot. I was going to tell you a quick tree story, but if you want to.
No, no. Do the tree story. It was about trees. It was about trees. So I wanted it to be applicable.
All right. It's about my day journey in Tasmania.
It's about my my day journey
India, I had the privilege and the honor
To fly down there from melbourne, uh when I stayed in australia quite a few years back, but I met
Slash arborist and she's super super nice on facebook of all places and she did a post in a group
looking for a photographer to document her days um i guess journey down to tasmania and she was going to pay for my trip to do so and all i
would have to do is follow her and photograph and document her with a few other researchers. They were doing this like whole tree study down in Tasmania. If you don't know,
national tree forest and within that tree forest there is actually one of the largest
trees in the southern hemisphere. It is actually located in Tasmania and
unfortunately, it was burnt down a massive
thunderstorm came by a lightning bolt and struck it down and uh what remains is a massive massive
stump from the charred stump and oh my gosh that stump was so big crypto Freya. Like I've never seen anything as big of a stump as I saw that but
But I managed to take photos of the whole thing and I published them and I sent them to her
And we had a lovely time and after our adventures
I remember we got wine and cheese at the Goma
If you guys haven't been to the Goma yet in Tasmania, you have to go.
It is this massive art gallery underneath a winery. So there's like the winery on top,
and then it's like 10 levels down. There's like this massive art gallery that's underground.
It's called the Goma. It's in Tasmania. Go see it. I saw some art, and then we jumped back on
the plane back to Melbourne Melbourne and we did it all
in a day it was insane but I just wanted to share that with you guys that was actually like
so much more incredible of a story than I was expecting that's like considering what we've
been talking about like we've been talking about traveling and well my god we've covered so many
subjects so that's like that's a really cool story i feel a little bit underwhelmed by my own stories now
but i didn't even know that they had a massive tree down in tasmania like my where i work the
company i work for we've got an office in tasmania and my boss keeps saying to me i'm going to send
you to tasmania so now i know where i'm going so thank you crypto i i'm i am going there i'm going to send you to tasmania so now i know where i'm going so thank you crypto for i
i'm i am going there i'm going to go see this art gallery we've got a few like that here in wa
because down south we've got a region a wine region in a place called margaret river and if
you are a wine drinker you may have seen wine from margaret river but margaret river is literally one
of the most beautiful places in the world it's
it is literally like the south of France it's it's gorgeous so you go down there and there's
a couple of places that the that have got the winery in the top and then art galleries downstairs
and it's like you know if you know Australian weather it can be 35 degrees upstairs and you go downstairs and it's a beautiful 23 degrees consistently all year.
So I'm going to have to go suss that out.
But Maddie, yeah, I wanted to ask you, like, what's community?
What communities are you in at the moment?
And what do you love about it?
Like, I'm kind of curious because I'm a free agent
just cruising the crypto Twitter just kind of looking for a looking for a cool space.
Well obviously I came into it the only community that I'd experienced was the one that
me and my husband built ourselves for his community tradie coin and obviously i love that that's where my heart is in
that whole the whole project is aussie but then when i came out here when i honestly came into
this uh the arborist my husband he bought me this nft this motherfucker because he was like trust me
it's really good i had no idea what he was talking about i'm like okay whatever and so i'm coming out
here and i'm seeing these other motherfuckers and I'm like, what?
There's other people with these? Does that mean like I'm in with them? And it was intimidating.
I was too scared to join a space full of other motherfuckers because I was like, I don't know what I'm doing.
But, you know, I just started kind of like posting like my funny little motherfucker posts.
And I met a motherfucker here and there. and then I got added to the group chat
and you start learning the lingo and that was the first one I fell into and it's you know
motherfuckers they do whatever they want I love that you know base motherfuckers that's so me I
love the whole tagline and I love everything about it and then as far as mog that was more a stroke
of luck the first space that I ever joined ever was Jim's Blunt Talk,
like, and that's a Mog space. They're all Moggers and I had no idea what I was doing. I joined as a
speaker and they were all like really nice, really open to help me understand what's going on
and just really welcoming. And, you know, like, yeah, they gave me the Moggles on my PFP
and they were just like, yeah, they're just like, honestly, the like yeah they gave me the moguls on my pfp and they were just
like yeah they're just like honestly the moggers have some of the funniest memes some of the
funniest art you know they've got amazing community members that just create so much
funny content for their coin like i just completely fell into it because they are all
so hilarious to me they're like so fucking funny to me like I find all that
shit really funny that's pretty much why I'm there just for the laughs you know it's funny
just going back to what you said at the beginning I didn't even know that it was you and your
husband who did tradiecoin because I I liked the tradiecoin page and I ended up buying some Tradiecoin.
I didn't know that was you.
We had no idea why that happened, our initial pump.
We were just like, oh, my God.
Of course, we were asleep while it happened.
We woke up in the morning. We weren't we weren't ready oh we weren't oh well i shared it
on my page and everything how funny is that that was you guys that's wild oh my god so i don't know
about the moggers community so i'll have to i'll have to suss that out and uh yeah because that
sounds like my vibe as well.
They are a fucking hilarious bunch.
I am all about people who don't take themselves seriously.
Like I really, really struggle in communities where they take
themselves too seriously.
And they love my Aussie humour.
Like that was the place where I said I'm not here to fuck spiders
and I hear them saying it
all the time now because they think that's fucking hilarious and like they are so unserious with each
other with like me it's just like so relaxing to be in a space well it's it's exactly like that
the saying that I I think I shared with you the other day where you know you get to a point in your life and I now use the phrase my field of
fucks is barren like I literally have no fucks to give anymore it's like I'm completely don't care
what people think don't care what people think of me in terms of what I say or how I come across
and I'm just it's really freeing like it's really freeing. Like it's so freeing.
You no longer have to be held in to those constraints of like,
oh my God, what are they thinking?
And something else is that I feel like if you're truly being yourself
in this space, when you do make connections and meet people,
it's like a very genuine connection because you
will always be in yourself so it's like you're actually making a connection with a person that
you like the same connection you would have made in real life if you know what I mean when you're
not being yourself and you're filtering yourself you make a bunch of connections with people
and when you talk to them you've got to filter yourself and you can't be yourself and it doesn't feel like a real connection yeah and this this space is full of kind of that that that inauthenticity
so having the ability just go you know what i don't care i don't give a fuck um is is really
freeing i see that cj you've just stepped up as well. Hello, my friend.
Yeah, how you doing, mate?
Have we just found another Aussie?
Or, Maddie, do you know CJ already?
Are you Australian, mate?
Yeah, I saw the flag in the top of the chat and I thought,
I better jump in. I better add you to my Aussie cabal, GC cabal.
Got a little takeover going on on Twitter.
It's always nice to find some Aussies because, like,
the communities that I've been vibing in, there aren't that many of us.
I found a few Kiwis along the way when i was in um in the
polygon space for a few minutes when polygon was the next big thing until it died in the ass like
all the projects that i seem to hold seem to do um but yeah cj where are you where are you from
what part of australia because we we already worked out a little while ago that maddie's from new south wales i'm from west australia um oh what was his name maddie i'm having a mental blank
um from south australia best that's it yeah yeah so cj where are you from it's nice to complete the
um the set because i'm a i'm a proper mexican i am in Melbourne. Oh, we don't cover Melbourne yet.
We've covered every state except the Northern Territory.
We haven't covered Queensland, but nobody talks about them.
I think Bricky might be in Queensland.
Actually, yes, yes, yes, yes.
Okay, I think we're friends
okay fair enough so we have the whole Australia covered and now together we can collectively
use the power of mateship to take over the fucking timeline guys timeline
one of the reasons I put I put my hand up because when you guys were talking about communities, I think there is something uniquely Aussie about that concept of mateship.
And two of the communities that I'm in that I think do that pretty well
I don't know if anyone's heard of those.
Yeah, I've made to the few of them.
And then the other one is obviously the project that I've got the PFP for,
So they're two communities that I think there's, you know,
a good bunch of people that don't take themselves too seriously.
But, you know, like I suppose I've enjoyed being a part of.
Yeah, thanks for sharing.
I'll have to take a look.
Well, they're just so much
cheaper than what they used to be and like obviously you know there's this idea that nfts
will never ever make a comeback again and that it was a special one-off run and that's kind of it
forever but like back in the day when you had okay bears selling for like 300 soul and um crazy
shit like that i just thought oh for the sake of being able to get into some
of the OG Solana communities, I think it's a fairly low barrier
And, I mean, some people look at the NFT as the asset itself,
but for me I've always looked at it as a who does it give me access
to meet and, you know, connections to make and that kind of thing it's
all about the community and it's all about the connections you're literally paying based on how
much money you can spend on this nft that you're gonna pfp or whatever you're buying into a
community of other people with that much money to spend on nfts you know that it makes a lot of
sense to me and it's going to make a lot of sense to a lot of people very quickly i think it's gonna become completely normalized i think people that are like nfts i think you're
insane i think nfts are gonna be huge i think they're gonna be mainstream i think they're
gonna be festival tickets i think they're gonna be like membership all this it's it's gonna be huge
we also have another new speaker up here we should say hi jensuku is that how i say
it jensuki yeah i'm good how is everybody doing i think it's dj now as for me you know seeing the
aussies on the space i like okay let me chime in because we have some great you know um
aussies in our community and they're really good and wonderful people. So I think, okay, let me hopefully connect with some great friends and cool people that
I know I have that are from here, you know, this is just an extension of them.
So how is everybody doing?
So this is part of the behind our project account, Jezuki's our project.
Well, welcome, mate. Anyone can be fucking Australian.
You've just got to be able to do a fucking shooey and say the word cunt right.
You've pretty much got it, man.
Hey, how many times have you had to explain the shooey to people?
And I would actually pose this question to everybody.
I've got inside information on the D-God community.
They're talking about shoeies all the fucking time.
They're like, oh. Yeah, I was going to say that's how it came to D-Gods
because it actually came through a couple of Aussies.
There's pasta and a bunch of others.
So they're big into the shoeies, the D-God community.
Like when D-Gods were selling for like a thousand soul each
and all of the holders were like going absolutely bananas,
everyone was uploading videos of themselves doing shoeies
Yeah, mate, I said I'm not here to fuck spiders in the GC the other day
and now they're all saying it.
The D-Gods are so Aussie coded.
We could like take over that shit.
I'm joking. I'm kidding. The D-Gods are so Aussie coded. We could, like, take over that shit. I'm joking.
The D-Gods are fucking incredible.
They actually go so fucking hard.
They're everywhere all the time consistently, omnipresent.
Honestly, that's another community worth thinking about joining.
Like, I think the floor price at the moment is around, like,
Yeah, they are an incredible community.
I fucking love those guys.
And even if Frank never comes back and it does eventually go
to a community takeover, like you say, they've got some serious
holders that I don't think it's written off.
In fact, I've heard in multiple spaces from multiple different people
that they would invest in DGod gods if it was cto'd by
the by certain people because there's community members in that community that are so like
they rep d god like they breathe they live and breathe the shit they're like crazy committed
it's impressive it's respectable it's not only that but their infrastructure is awesome like if
you have you been on their their webpage and actually had a look
what they've set up on there?
It's, oh, honestly, do it.
Like, I went on there and I was, oh, you can actually make your own DGOD PFP.
So you don't have to, if you haven't got the money to buy an NFT,
Oh, that's why there's so many of them.
That's such a good idea, just like you find the opportunity
to be part of the community.
I'm going to post in the Purple Pill because, you know,
I had a night where I was just kind of sitting around
and I think I was listening to X-Bases.
So I started making a couple of the D God PFPs and just for fun.
And, oh, my God, it's awesome.
So, yeah, look, if there was a CTO, I'd be, yeah,
I'd be very keen for that.
I'm just adding them on now.
I want to go make myself a D God now.
I feel so motherfucker, mong, blue cap coded now.
I feel like I am my PFP and I'm like,
I don't know if I could ever change it.
I have to start like another account, like a new account for everyone.
Yeah. Yeah. Well, I kind of,
I kind of get that because you've probably seen for me, I'm,
I'm all about dead duck collective. So, um,
I am such a dead Duck girl at the moment.
When I saw Dead Duck, I thought of you and then I saw you repping the PFA
and I was like, I knew she was going to love that art because it's fucking dope art.
I don't even know what the floor price is at the moment, to be honest,
because I am like diamond handed when it comes to those things.
I am not ever going to get rid of my dead ducks to the point where me and one
of the other dead ducks have been sort of talking about the process of downloading
it and printing them so that we can put them on the wall.
It's just, yeah, it's totally my vibe.
I think he's an Aussie as well.
I've only been for like a month, so I'm like still meeting everybody do you know empress at all
i've actually never spoken with her like i know she's a motherfucker in the spaces and we must
we must be in like different circles or something because i've never come across her like in a space
where i can like actually meet her she's like one of the only motherfuckers i see everywhere that i
don't know do you know her if you if you ever um yeah she's good but she's like she of the only motherfuckers I see everywhere that I don't know. Do you know her?
If you ever, yeah, she's good, but she's like,
she's real big into the like women championing women kind of scene.
So if you ever like want to connect with someone that will like push you,
push you and what you're trying to do as a woman in like what is really a male-dominated space. She's definitely worth connecting with.
Because that is completely my vibe.
We've been talking about that earlier that like a huge thing for me
at the moment is onboarding more women into Web3.
So, yeah, I would love to connect with her.
Empress. She's got name? Sorry. Empress.
She's got a big interesting story.
She was kind of outed by a jealous former partner who posted, like,
explicit videos and things of her online and, like,
really, really made, like, life difficult for her.
And she's done a lot to kind of you know rise above it and
but i think i think for her that's kind of been part of oh this is the shit that you have to deal
with as a woman in a space dominated by you know some because you know not all men are
maggots but some are so so um yeah she's definitely worth um worth getting in touch with. Yeah, thank you.
I'll find a way to connect or find her in a space or something,
and maybe Maddie and I can jump on in and say hello.
So, yeah, that would be very cool.
Her at is hope underscore ology.
Yeah, do you mind tagging her in the purple pill?
And maybe we can go and find a space and connect with her.
Yeah, down the bottom, in the comments.
I chucked some of those D-gods you made up there in the Jumbotron.
They were so – and I had so much fun doing it.
But then, you you know I'm
I'm a bit of a art geek so any kind of anything like that I love it I will actually admit that
I have started creating my own collection of NFTs um I am just yeah I've don't get me too excited
oh seriously they are good too.
They are really, really good.
Like I put a call out a couple of weeks ago and said,
has anyone created an NFT like this, like X,
like what I was thinking about?
Like nobody had thought of it.
And I was like, right, I'm on this.
Yeah, well, we're really new.
It's still new, even though like it's been around for a while.
Most people don't know what it is, so 100%.
Oh, look, we've got the Jumbotron.
We've got Bunnings in the Jumbotron.
I just jumped it up there.
But, yeah, look, you know, in terms of the NFT thing, like, watch this space.
Like, it might go nowhere.
I might just decide to have a collection of 888 really gorgeous drawings
or I will do something with it, but I haven't decided yet.
So, yeah, that's a later Freya's problem.
I'm going to ask all the D gods in the GC when they wake up that Freya's problem. I'm going to have to tell all the D-Gods in the GC when they wake up
that Freya's, like, reffing you hard in the Aussie spaces.
Look, I don't know what it is about it, but I just, yeah,
I like the colours, I like the style, I like the vibe,
and yet I don't actually own a D-God, so, yeah,
I probably need to rectify that but
you'll be able to teach them another aussie phrase by saying that i don't want to blow
blow smoke up your ass yeah that's a good one i think they'd like that one
that's a good one i love it love it but um we probably should i mean we've been talking forever
and this has just been the most epic space and And honestly, Maddie, you know how hard it is to find a partner in crime to do an ex space with.
And you really got to find someone who you bounce off and who you kind of vibe with.
And you can just talk shit and just have a really good time.
And I think that's what spaces is all about.
So kind of randomly finding you and just the fact that we vibe so hard is,
I'm relieved because like, I'm like, this space has gone so well.
It's like, we've done this a million times.
We're just completely bouncing off each other, talking, easy conversation.
And we could probably keep going if we didn't have like real lives we could probably just stay up here and
keep talking for hours which is awesome oh my god and i can so do that like i mean i can talk for
days let's be honest but yeah like i've still right now even from the topics that we just
you know we didn't even really prepare for this we just like chucked we didn't even talk about flans yet what is that tell me what that is i have to know because
that is some lingo that as an aussie i feel like i'm like i'm having fomo i'm having like serious
those two were just like fucking with me in the comments the only flan. He's always talking about everyone, that guy.
I don't even know flan in Aussie.
But it's like that weird, like, fruit.
It's kind of like a fruit tart, except it doesn't have a base.
And, you know, you cook it and you, like, flip it over.
No, you don't flip it over.
I could be completely wrong.
I don't know anything about flans, apparently.
That's literally, that is the last thing. Because, I mean what a flan is it's like a it's like a cake yeah no that's yeah yeah so you tell me i figured
it was you just let me know no no no no but i honestly thought it was like an acronym for
something else like i thought it was like a like female only fans in crypto space kind of thing that i didn't know about maybe it'll give
you more context if i like those two daisy and that jake guy that commented with the flan thing
i have been arguing with them about strawberry jam and grape jelly for like a week in space
it's just random like yeah that's what i love about this place like i've literally been posting
the randomest shit for the last like two weeks i need to start talking about crypto again because
i'm just going no you don't you definitely do not need to pull back do you know one of my um
one of my closest friends um on on x and I guess in this whole space,
And he's, a lot of people know him.
Yeah, I'm friends with Wolf.
He is just the coolest guy.
And, you know, I mean, we chat outside of X as well.
He is so random. And random and random in like in every sense and
he will just post the craziest stuff and the craziest comments and i love it and i think
that's kind of why i loved what you post as well so don't pull back don't don't don't pull back
keep posting extra crazy today do it keep posting know, oh, great and spinning disciples of the disc
because that's the shit that I want to see.
That's what I want to hear.
I want to hear real stuff.
Oh, that's nice to hear because I really hate it.
But anyway, I don't know.
We probably should wind up because, yeah, like in 15 minutes,
I've got to go and join my real life and be like,
I've got to be a real girl.
I've got to go mother the children.
What is this real life ruining my Web3 life?
In actual fact, you know, I'm going to be brutally honest here.
I've got to go to Woolies and do my click and collect, man.
I need to go get milk too, man.
Every day is a daily milk fucking journey.
I just want to say to everybody who has joined in, thank you so much.
Like this is the first Coffee in Chaos that Maddie and I have done.
And it was kind of an experiment really for the two of us just to get together
and, yeah, see if it would just turn into complete, like, chaos, as we said,
or if it would be like a flop and we'd be like uh hi my name's
