Dogtales. Dogtales. Party time. Excellent.
Yo, I'm talking to myself, so this message is for Elon Musk.
Elon Musk, can you please set up spaces so we could start it from our computer?
That'd be awesome. That'd be awesome.
I could use a mic. I could use, like, actual soundboard.
So, I'm just saying, you know, that's between us, Elon.
It's between us.
And, you know, circle back to me on that.
Appreciate that.
What's up, babe?
Let me get you that co-host spot while we wait and see if anybody shows up.
Like, everybody promises to you and then never shows up.
So, it is what it is.
Hopefully, people show up.
If not, we're going to go about our morning.
Get these dogs' messes cleaned up.
Secure that fence a little bit better.
Put up some netting, little privacy fence.
You know what I'm saying?
Oh, I know that's turning you on right now, babe.
I already know.
This is great space, guys.
Damn right.
You already know it.
How long do you think we're going to be here before somebody shows up?
Well, we kind of started a little bit late.
I don't know if we're counting those minutes or not.
What was it?
One minute or two minutes?
Shame on me.
No, I'm just saying, are we counting that or not?
Because if not, I say just like five minutes.
Um, that's a good question.
I say, nope.
We're not counting it.
I got a soundboard.
We can mess with this now.
That just sounds like static.
Yeah, it's supposed to be like a thunderstorm or something.
Let me see what this wind one is.
That's kind of funny.
I don't know why nobody uses that more.
That one's kind of cool.
Let's see the robot.
Oh, that's lame.
Here's a bomb.
That makes sense.
The winner.
Interesting.
Oh, you could actually do a timer on them.
That's kind of cool.
They're taking forever for an answer.
You just...
Hey, sometimes it's urgent.
I understand them now.
That's cool.
Damn, I could probably get a beat going with that shit.
Dang, I wish I had the mute all button right now.
I've muted your ass.
What do I sound like?
Like too many different noises.
What do I sound like now?
What do I sound like now?
Oh no, that's spooky.
Oh no, I don't like that.
What do I sound like now?
Oh, hell no.
What about now?
That's spooky.
This doesn't make any sense.
None of this shit makes any sense.
That one sounds very prepubescent.
Like a kid?
Oh, really?
What about you?
Chip Mike.
What about you?
What's up, man?
Is it off now?
Am I normal sounding?
All right.
Right on, man.
Good morning, dude.
How are you doing?
Good, good, good, good.
Just done.
That's Mr. Moxie.
Oh, Moxie.
Okay, gotcha.
Nice, dude.
He's saying, let me out.
I gotta go potty.
Every morning, you go.
Yeah, dude, he's like, he's got, dude, that's one thing, like, I don't realize, is like,
you know, beagles are, like, a smaller dog, and I don't know if it's because they're hunting
dogs and whatever, but they can hold, like, they go to the bathroom, like, they pee a lot,
Moxie is like Mr. Tiny Tank.
So, like, he's going, like, three to one to all my other dogs, you know?
That's funny.
Yo, what's up, Web3 mogul?
Good morning, guys.
Good morning.
Yeah, dude, that's crazy, man.
Apollo has this thing where he just fucking, like, urinates, like, once a day, and it's
just, like, a fucking gallon, dude.
Yeah, yeah, that's the thing, like, my dog, Mox, Ollie, like, he, I'll take him out, he'll
sniff around, whatever, no, no, and then, like, usually, like, once, maybe twice a day,
You know, but, like, like I said, but, you know, I didn't know this.
So, you know why, like, dogs will be running, like, beagles, like, they're hunting, and they'll
stop and piss, like, a little bit, and then go, and then pee.
Do you know why they do that?
So, if they get turned around on the scent, they'll come back, and they'll smell themselves
and know they're going the wrong way.
Oh, that makes sense.
Like, like, Mark.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Because, you know, sometimes, like, the rabbit will loop around and stuff, you know, and try
to confuse them and all that, so.
GM, Pele, what's up, popular?
What up, brother?
What up, man?
How's everyone doing?
I didn't think you were going to make it.
I thought you had family stuff going on.
Yeah, I have my great-niece's baptism, but it's, I got to leave maybe, like, in half
an hour, so I'm good for half an hour.
Oh, nice, man.
How's everyone doing?
Doing good.
How's everyone?
Everyone's doing well?
Hey, are you guys liking the dogs that I'm making?
Yeah, they're cool.
Okay, cool.
I think they're super clean.
I'm just, yeah, I'm just making them, I was going to tell you, because I know we're not,
like, really putting, like, single dogs in there, but what I've been doing is, I've been
practicing my prompts, and, like, getting the dogs down good, so now, somebody told me
to do that, and then now I'll start adding, like, you know, the dog at the vet, or the,
you know what I mean, and kind of learning how to do my prompts good, you know?
Um, so, like, you know, that's why I started doing some of the different dogs, you know?
Yeah, that was pretty cool.
I like, uh, I like the beagle that's running.
I like the Rottweiler.
I like the, uh, did I, did I share you guys the, the King Corso?
With the necklace?
Yeah, you did.
Yeah, I like that, so.
Where'd you share that, in the Discord, in the chat?
In that, um, in that group that we've got?
Yeah, I need to get in there.
I haven't had a chance to get in there.
Yesterday, I was working in the yard, trying to get this fucking place secured.
What happened to your dogs?
Are they okay?
Yeah, they're good, man.
Just, uh, it was weird.
We went to Costco, we came back, and so, we have, like, in our backyard, we have, like,
our fence, and then our neighbor has his fence, and there's, like, a little run that separates
And, uh, like, our dogs were, I had two of our dogs inside of that run.
So, they jumped the fence and got into that run, and they go after the neighbor dogs, like,
kind of crazy, and we've been working with them on that, but never, like, that gnarly,
Like, I don't know.
It makes me think, like, maybe somebody's, like, trying to, like, jump in our backyard
or some stuff where we're not here or something.
And, like, the fence was all messed up in that area, like, looked like somebody was, like,
like, walking over it or something.
Either way, I fixed it all, and I put up the fence, like, another section of fence, like,
above it, just, like, raise it up, like, another three feet.
And, uh, today, I'm, I'm gonna be putting up our privacy netting everywhere.
I already got cameras put, like, in that corner, right?
Do you guys have any weird bugs?
Like, what?
Like, maybe.
Okay, because, okay, remember, um, do you remember when I had to take Ollie to the vet?
He got, I thought he poisoned himself with the shampoo?
Okay, so, the vet told me, um, that she thinks that he ate one of these caterpillars.
They're, like, really hairy.
They've got, like, long, like, long hairs on them.
And they said that they will make them super sick.
Oh, yeah, dude, those things are gnarly, uh, yeah, dude, they're, um, it, I highly doubt
it was that, um, the reason.
Yeah, I do, too, just because it was so many of them, you know what I mean?
Yeah, it was four out of the five Belgians started.
Yeah, that's, you know.
Like, at it, bro, we were only gone for, like, a half an hour, like, an hour, you know,
tops, like, we weren't gone that long.
So, it was kind of, and, like, the only thing we could think of is maybe why they were in
that run, or they found something, and they ate it, like, a dead animal that was in there
or something.
Well, maybe.
I just hope somebody's not trying to do anything.
Dang, bro.
Yeah, that would, you know.
No, dude, I'll literally have somebody locked up over that shit, bro.
Oh, yeah, dude, that's, well, dude, I don't know, I don't know about California, I'm sure
California, but I know Georgia, uh, if you poison animals, it's, like, a big time, like,
it's way worse than just, like, anything.
Because there was a guy that got busted, um, he poisoned dogs with antifreeze.
And he ended up doing, like, serious time over it.
That's, that's.
Which is good.
So, initially, that was my first guess, right?
Because the dude that lived here, well, my first guess was somebody poisoned dogs, because
there's four of them puking.
I'm, like, I was looking at my wife, I'm, like, dude, what the fuck?
This is really strange.
Then my next guess was, you know what?
This old man that lived here before us had this whole backyard full of cars and car parts.
And so, maybe in that run is where he was dumping all his hems, you know what I mean?
And when they got in there, they kicked it up and they all got sick or whatever, you know?
And luckily, I was able to get that charcoal into them right away, you know?
Because, yeah, because that stuff will kill them really fast, dude.
It's not treated, man.
So, I think it was, like, all just, like, we got lucky as fuck, dude, you know?
Either way, man, whatever the case may be, like, something's going on right there.
So, now I'm just, like, raising those fences all around.
Like, fuck it.
Well, that's what I'm saying.
Like, I was so weirded out when Ollie got sick because I'm, like, like, I don't keep stuff around.
You know what I mean?
Like, anything that you can get into because I know beagles are, like, you know, super curious and get into shit, you know?
So, I'm, like, and then I didn't know that about those caterpillars.
And I see them here every once in a while.
Oh, yeah, dude.
Those things are gnarly, bro.
Definitely.
No, I touched one when I was a kid, and that shit caused crazy-ass rash and shit, dude.
Yeah, that's what, well, you know, after she said that, I remember that happened to me a long time ago.
I just brushed on one when I was at a job site, and I got, like, a whole rash up my arm.
So, what do you think about the activated charcoal treats?
Dude, that's a fucking great idea, bro.
I ain't gonna lie.
At first, I didn't get it.
I was, like, yeah, I mean, yeah.
And then I was, like, oh, it's, like, it's already baked into it, dude.
That's, like, fucking smart, man.
Yeah, dude, that'd be crazy.
Yeah, I think that's something that we could come up with, you know?
Yeah, I could literally make them right here with our dehydrator and the treats.
Right, exactly.
You know what I mean?
It's, like, ready to go.
That'd be cool, for sure.
You know, and it's just something, you know?
I mean, because even activated charcoal is not bad for them to eat every once in a while anyway.
You know what I mean?
It's just a detoxifier, you know?
Yeah, exactly.
No, it's actually, it's good for them.
It pulls out a lot of toxins that are stuck in their gut and shit.
Their farts will stink and they'll poop out black and shit.
Yeah, but that's okay.
It's better than them dying, you know?
That's crazy shit.
I'm really glad that I knew about that shit and I keep that stuff around, man.
Like, I recommend anybody with dogs should have that, like, a bottle of that stuff in their cupboard.
Yeah, and it's cheap.
Yeah, exactly.
Super cheap, you know?
Super cheap.
It's all natural.
There's no side effects.
It's, like, the ultimate, it's, like, perfect.
Like, it's, like, if you take them to the doctors, that's all they're going to do is
just feed them activated charcoal.
Well, that slurry that they put down their throat, like, if you haven't seen, that's
all it is.
It's, like, activated charcoal mixed with, like, some kind of, like, oil or whatever,
Yeah, they mix it with all kinds of stuff in there.
Like, I think they use, like, Epicac and the other kind of thing.
NAR showed up.
What up, brother?
What up, NAR?
So, check this out.
You like this, mom?
I don't see NAR.
Nah, he was here for, like, a second.
He's like, hey, what's up?
I made a appearance.
Now I'm gone.
There he is.
There he is.
What was I going to do?
I completely lost my train of thought.
We were talking about charcoal.
Yeah, I know.
It's something.
It's something.
Oh, no, no.
So, you know Terrence, right?
So I've been talking to him, like, in the back channels.
And he showed me, um.
What you can give to your dog.
What he gives to his dogs.
Like, if they don't have arthritis.
You just want to have something to give to them.
Like, for health reasons and everything.
Hemp seed oil.
Uh, he showed me the bottle.
I'm going to actually get a screenshot of it.
And I'll show you guys.
But he said it's, you know, a lot cheaper than CBD.
And it's easier to get.
He said, but if your dog has, like, arthritis.
Or, like, uh.
You know, like a, uh.
Some kind of condition.
Like inflammation.
Yeah, yeah.
Like, it'll help.
Because it's oil.
It helps with the digestive system.
And I took all.
I mean, you could use it for dogs and stuff.
Just for human use.
I would not recommend it for guys.
It increases your estrogen levels.
Like, dramatically.
He said, too.
It's a very little bit that you use.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But I thought it was cool that he.
He took the time.
He actually made a couple videos.
Yeah, dude.
He's a really cool guy.
Yeah, Terrence is cool as fuck, dude.
I like him a lot, man.
I know, dude.
You know, Cannabuddies wants to start working on a CBD dog treat.
And, uh, Terrence wants to see, too.
But here's the thing is, like, what the reality is, we need to figure out which one's higher quality, you know?
Well, I would, I would go, personally, I would go with Terrence.
For the simple fact that, you know, he knows the stuff, and, like, he was telling me, um, you know, just, like, how his is, is kind of set up to, like, the dog stuff is for dogs, you know?
Um, but, who knows?
I mean, Cannabuddies, they're pretty good.
I mean, like, that's what I'm saying, man.
It's, like, everybody's, and, dude, there's, like, a lot of people in the weed industry, in the cannabis industry, in the hemp industry, right now, growing, you know?
It's, like, there's a, there, it's a lot of people in that right now.
Well, you know, we also have Mr. Gnar that we can always associate with, too.
Well, there we go.
What's up, Gnar?
How are we doing this?
No, he's just chilling, listening.
He actually posted that, so.
Yeah, but, I mean, no, but he's, like, in the future, we can, we can kind of, he knows, you know, he was in the, um, cannabis industry for a long time and stuff, so.
You know, and.
I actually worked in that industry, as well, too.
Yeah, my friend did, too.
He worked in Colorado, where he had a CBD, um, company and stuff.
I was, I was telling Gnar this, but it kind of, regulations and all this shit kind of screwed everything up for him, you know what I mean?
Like, it's, like, shit gets so expensive.
That's the problem, you know what I mean?
Some of the, like, especially in Colorado.
You know, it's, like, the permits and shit become so expensive, and, you know.
If you want to do it legal, if you want to follow the rules, then, yeah, you're going to have to jump through all that red tape, and they just keep throwing red tape down.
That you got to jump over, so.
Well, and, like.
It's a difficult industry, for sure.
Well, and, see, this is the thing.
A company like, um, say, Pfizer, right, that can have, like, medical marijuana, right?
And, you know, they hire growers.
They can buy a million-dollar permit, and it's not going to set them back.
Because that's what I want.
Because if you ever watch the documentary Murder Mountain.
It's about, uh, NorCal, or what?
Yeah, it's about, like, Humboldt County and stuff.
Yeah, Humboldt.
Yeah, yeah.
And, uh, and, uh, the, the reason I watch it is just more what it talks about the industry.
Like, there's one guy that goes missing up there.
But what was interesting is just, like, you see, like, there's still, like, you know, outlaw growers up there.
And you're, like, why, why wouldn't you just go legal?
And then you find out, like, oh, because it's permitting and stuff is so ridiculous, you know?
What's up, everybody?
I could definitely talk to that.
Yeah, what up, NorCal?
I've, uh, 20 years background in, uh, cannabis, uh, legal cannabis, and.
And also legal cannabis.
20 years in the game, five years, uh, 15 of it legal.
Statue of limitations.
Yeah, California system is so broken.
Uh, they're still going through provisional adjustments.
Like, this is, what, seven years later?
I think it was 2016 or 2017 that they passed it.
Uh, the problem is, is that every single local government, including the county, including the city,
everyone has gotten involved, uh, they all want their piece.
They all want to get their palms greased.
The same thing happened in Vegas.
Uh, you should have seen what the cities and counties were charging for licenses out there,
like hundreds of thousands of dollars.
It was just ridiculous.
So, um, California system is completely broken.
So, for most of the, uh, the growers, um, they're going to keep doing what they're going
Um, there, there's an oversupply in Oregon and Washington and California, uh, even in the legal
So, um, people are still going to do what they're going to do because they hustle.
Uh, and I am a huge proponent of that because it can help to make this, uh, I mean, there's
always going to be that market.
There's always moonshiners.
There's always people that are going to hustle, hustle away.
Um, don't make it difficult to do things the right way.
That's the problem that I've, that I've seen.
And I help a lot of people navigate that space because it is so complicated and every single
city is different.
Um, there's a reason that I chose a County Island for, uh, my ag tech business, both for
tax purposes, as well as the counties tend to have less regulation.
So it's just some of those things to think about, about where you're putting your company,
where you're, you're putting your location, where you have to disclose all that stuff.
Um, but yeah, there's huge, huge in the, uh, in the black market.
Um, and, uh, honestly, um, I've, uh, I know of a couple of brands that are now in the
legal market that got their start in the black market and crushed it because I can tell you
when I was, uh, before medical cannabis and adult use cannabis, you didn't see packaged
goods outside of the stores.
Now you're getting packaged stuff that has like verifiable authenticity that it's actually
from this black market grower.
It's just, uh, yeah.
So, and I don't care that this shit is recorded.
So they don't give a shit about pot.
They just want the fucking money.
That's all the government just wants their cut.
So, um, things happening in crypto, we're, we're, we're getting the rails.
We're getting the rules of what we're allowed to do.
Um, and, uh, but I mean, I, the, the fact that the SEC is not fighting the ripple ruling
is so huge, uh, for one, they were grasping at straws to, we now know, okay, here's the
You, if you were going to go institutional, you're considered a, uh, a security.
Sorry, I got a call.
I got a call.
So let me, I'll just let them know.
I'll call you back.
I may have to jump.
Um, yeah, you guys, you gotta do that.
It's no big deal.
So just, uh, I know I totally got sidetracked.
No, no, it's good.
It's good.
I like it.
I can talk about this stuff all the time.
I mean, that's, that's what you get when you join as a partner, as a member, like you,
you get me, you get my team, you get my experience of what I've seen.
And this is the way that the world works.
Like that's the level that I've been at.
I've, uh, done a few multimillion dollar deals to help, uh, sell licenses in the cannabis
So that, uh, that exposes you to a lot of things, a lot of conversations.
A lot of people, a lot of situations.
And that was the, I can tell you, that was the first time I heard the term inside baseball.
Uh, so it's all inside baseball.
If you didn't know that.
So you just need to know how to play it in the right way.
So, um, I love you guys.
Uh, I got to get going because I do got a dude back, but, uh, wanted to hop in, you know,
I am, I'm here.
We're going to, uh, this, uh, dog, uh, and just co-op and this is what you guys are building.
We're, we're going to keep growing this because, because period.
Before you go, I just want to say, you know, what else you get with the, the dial pass is
you get a true, uh, friendship from a true, uh, like a real person.
So I love that.
Uh, you know, if I call you, you respond to me, I talk to you.
So, you know, like I said, I don't consider you just a partner.
I consider you a friend and so I appreciate that, uh, everything that you do.
Thank you, dude.
Likewise, right back at you.
You, you know that that's, I, I have partners.
I have friends that's, we were past that customer transactional bullshit.
Um, let's just in, in everything.
I mean, that's, that's the mindset.
That's the difference.
It's transactional customer versus long-term partner clients.
Uh, I don't really like the word client partners.
It's a better word, but I'm thinking of, I don't know.
I'm probably going to coin a new term.
We'll see what happens, but appreciate you all.
Um, we're, uh, we're minting right now, uh, 33 Matic.
Uh, so very, very affordable, 35% off of everything that we create.
You only need one pass to get in and you can make that back with one hoodie and then everything
else that you get on your gifts, you save.
So, um, and I love to help and share.
You guys know that.
So much love.
I had to come in and jump up, uh, cause you know, say you're going to do things.
So you do things.
So, all right.
But I got to jump to the next leg.
All right.
Appreciate it, man.
All right.
Appreciate you guys.
Take care, man.
Good takes on, on the weed industry though, man.
But, you know, have you noticed how people feel about what we're doing?
Definitely.
No, I think we're on the right path for sure, man.
Like Pete, well, it's a good idea, bro.
You know, like, like some, like I, here's my dad's like my biggest critic.
Like anything I've ever done, I'm like, Hey dad, I'm doing this.
He's like, yeah, that's not going to work.
Like I told him about our idea about educating the kids and he was like, well, God damn, it's
about time somebody did something about that shit.
So nobody teaches you anything about that.
So like hearing it from him, I was like, dude, okay, this is fucking, I think this shit's
going to work, man.
So yeah, dude, for sure, dude.
I honestly feel like it's a fucking great idea.
Like, like some of these should have done this shit a long time ago, but you know, they
So here we are, you know?
A lot of great ideas.
So we'll make them happen.
We'll be timed.
That's about it.
Need some funds eventually.
And then the market will be good next year, hopefully.
So that would help us a lot.
You know, I hear a lot of people like rumors saying that they think the bull market's coming
back for NFTs specifically, you know, because like the new applications for it and whatnot,
like people actually using it in real, real world uses, you know?
So yeah, I don't know.
We'll see, man.
You know, obviously nobody knows anything.
So anybody that says they'd be like lying to you.
I mean, if we're going to look at the Bitcoin halving, that would, that would take us around
April, May next year, and then they'll give us a year or so after for the bull market.
So let's see what happens.
Because it happened already three or four times.
That'd be awesome, man.
Hopefully.
That'd be great.
Definitely.
We all need it.
And then it'll help us a lot just for, not just in the Web3, just in our, you know,
IRL life as well, what we're doing.
So we need funds to do anything we're doing.
You already know that.
Absolutely.
You can't do shit without money in this world.
That's the reality.
You can't change anything if you don't have money.
I tell people that shit all the time.
Like, if you're out trying to help people and you're broke, you're focusing on the wrong
You need to go get some money and you can help people.
You know what I mean?
Here's the thing.
Here's the thing.
Having passion, having the idea, that's all great.
But if you cannot implement something, then you're not going to get anywhere.
And I hate to say it, money is what enables you to get places, you know?
And I, like I said, I wish that it wasn't the case, you know?
But I mean, even, I always go back to my buddy Rice Count Legacy, right?
I mean, even him, I mean, he feeds homeless and stuff with rice and everything over in
Indonesia, but like money to do it, right?
And so, that's why, you know, I supported him big time when I first met him and, you
know, I like what he's doing, but without money, you're not going to get anywhere.
Yeah, man.
You know, people, like, I feel like my whole life, people lied to me about what money is,
Like, they're all like, oh, man, you don't want to be at the top because it's lonely up
And I'm like, well, why the fuck is it lonely up there?
That's, that's on you, man.
You fucked up, like, you burned all the people around you to get to the top.
You know what I mean?
Like, you're losing.
So, like, I look at things differently than a lot of people, I think, man, especially when
it comes to finances and money.
Like, dude, like...
Well, a lot of people will say money is evil, right?
Yeah, they'll say all kinds of shit about it.
I'm like, dude, if it's evil, then how are you eating off it?
Well, here's the thing.
It's evil if you're evil.
Do you get what I'm saying?
Like, if you're, if you have good plans to do something good with the money, then it's
not evil, right?
Like, you know, like, if you want to get money and do like we're doing dog rescue and stuff,
that's not evil, right?
Now, if you want to build a project, rug people, and go buy a Lambo, that's in you.
That's not, the money didn't do that.
I mean, it gave you the opportunity to do that, right?
Yeah, that shit was present the whole time.
Right, exactly.
That dude had his eye in the back of his head, he was dreaming about that fucking Lambo.
The stupidest...
Like, bro, first of all, here's my take on Lambos, right?
Like, dude, like, you got a fucking car that goes 200 miles an hour and you're sitting in
traffic, just like the rest of us.
So it doesn't matter.
You know, here's the thing, I have a total different take on supercars because I work
on supercars, right?
So I've worked on Ferraris, BMWs, Mercedes, Lambos, Maseratis, right?
And the thing is, is that people don't realize, not only, like, are you, you know, going to
get in trouble because the car is super fast if you're, or you're just sitting in traffic
and you're looking and people are going to, like, you're going to worry about people scratching
it and all this stuff.
But here's the biggest takeaway.
Like, so an M3, which is not that expensive of a car, right?
It is a race car, though.
I mean, by heart.
So it runs Michelin Pro Cup 3s.
So those tires, you're lucky to get 5,000 miles out of them.
A set of tires is $3,500.
Yeah, dude.
Everything about that is liability.
And people don't think about this stuff before they go out and buy these cars.
Like, you know, an oil change on some of these cars is $1,000, $1,500, you know?
And people don't think about this stuff.
So it's like, I find it funny because people are looking.
Wait, how much are brakes on a fucking Lambo?
Oh, oh, dude.
I don't even know because I know on the – if you get – on an M3, if you get the
ceramic – the ceramic compound brake rotors are $2,500 a piece.
So, you know, just for the –
So they're, like, pretty much all those luxury cars, I imagine, where when your
brakes are done, they're, like, you got to change the rotors, the brakes,
like, the whole – the whole – yeah.
That's how they –
Yeah, like –
You're like, what?
Yeah, like, on the carbon –
What are you talking about?
Carbon ceramic.
You can't turn them.
You know what I mean?
You can't, like – you know?
And the thing is, is it's funny.
Like, I find, like, I'm – here I am looking up cars, right?
So I was – the other day, I was looking up vehicles, and, like, I'm looking at vans, right?
Like, or a truck or something that can be useful, not, like, a Lambo that's, like, ridiculous.
Like I said, even an M3, you know, like I said, you're talking about a $60,000, $70,000, $80,000 car, depending on which one you get.
Like, to have horrible gas mileage to, you know, like, it's just – but that's where it goes, where you get in priorities in your life, right?
Like, you find out, like, where you want to put your money, where you want to do stuff, you know, so.
I had an M3 in 2010.
I had an M3 in 2010, and then back in the day when that oil changes were $20, it was $250 for an oil change.
Right, exactly.
Just that, like, lighting the brakes and all that.
I'm sure the brakes were just probably ridiculously expensive.
But, yeah, just an oil change was 10 times the price.
But, yeah, the brakes on a BMW in California are about two Gs.
What would you pay for?
Oh, so, I have an update for you that might make you feel good.
So, you know how you were giving all the Banksy societies away?
Have you heard about that?
Yeah, they got bought out.
They got a new founder, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
No, I know.
Sarah Faye, I believe is her name, and she's been in the community.
Since I got in there and shit, so.
Hopefully, yeah, man.
No, I was just listening to it.
You're turning around, man.
It'd be awesome.
Yeah, it would.
Because I actually always liked the design of those NFTs, you know?
Yeah, man.
Well, you know what I've learned, dude, is derugging a project is probably the cheapest way of starting a project.
So, you don't have to pay for the art, you don't have to pay for the contract, you don't have to pay.
All that stuff's already in place, and it's already on the blockchain.
Everything's done.
All you have to do is derug it and then start pumping it.
And so, a lot of people are going that route now, it seems like.
Well, and I'll tell you this.
I think the expectations are low, right?
So, it's like, everything you do is a plus, right?
Dude, yeah.
Like, you know?
The holder, you bring any value to that, the holders are going to be like, fuck yeah.
You know what I mean?
So, dude, I honestly, I think that was a smart move by that girl, for sure.
Yeah, I do too.
And like I said, I was in the space listening to her, and she definitely has the right expectations, you know?
Has the right, wants to do the right things with it.
Yeah, man.
Like I said, I saw her as an active community member for a very long time in that community, you know?
And then, like, seeing her take it over, I was like, oh, cool, man.
This has a chance, man, you know?
So, yeah, no, I was stoked to see that, for sure.
Definitely.
I think, honestly, dude, I feel like that's the way a lot of people are going nowadays.
Like, I've heard about people taking shit coins that have already been launched and just buying the whole supply for fucking nothing.
And then using that as their token.
Like, nobody, like, bro, you can literally get the whole fucking thing for nothing.
And then you have a token to fucking distribute, you know?
So, and you could add the value to that token.
It doesn't matter what the fuck you launched it or whatever, you know?
Like, they ain't even really getting shit off the launch, so it doesn't really matter.
But that's what I understand about it.
I don't know everything about it yet.
That's what I'm learning.
I mean, you know, I mean, I'm not saying it's, like, the easiest thing in the world, but it's, I think it, it's the cheapest.
And I think if you're the right community member.
You know, and like, like people saw her in that community, you know what I mean?
So, you know, speaking of all that, how are we going to, how are we going to pump all of our projects and get it into this public?
I, I've been honestly thinking about running some web two ads.
If y'all want to get down on some of that shit, you know what I mean?
Well, you know, I got, um, I'm getting Engager installed.
Do you know about Engager?
No, but, uh, I just found this AI website called 10web.io or something.
I'll have to send it to you, but, um, you could literally set up landing pages in, like, seconds, dude.
And, like, set up online shops, everything, dude.
And they have an AI for engagement as well.
It's literally like.
So, basically, with Engager, what you do is you put, like, go like this tweet, right?
Go share, repost, go join, like, follow the Good Dog Club, right?
And they get rewarded in points for doing the missions, right?
So, you get a ton of people coming to the project.
Well, I'm getting Engager in my project, but I'm going to be able to add, like, popular, like,
go to Popular's Twitter, go like his post.
Same thing with the Good Dog Club and stuff.
Is it like Zeely, Brenda?
Is it the same as Zeely?
Yeah, but it's kind of, uh, I actually like it better because we're going to be rewarding in Sheesh token.
So, they're going to actually get a real token.
You know what I mean?
Versus, like, Zeely's, like, so.
But I'm just saying, like, I'm going to share the, uh, our communities with that.
You know what I'm saying?
I think if, uh.
That'd be awesome, man.
How do you get on it and just, like, like, grow it, you know?
Well, it's, you got to pay for it.
It's a paid thing, yeah, right.
Yeah, this other one, too, 10Web, it's the same thing.
You got to, it's like $35 a month, but if you pay, like, for the premium, you can either do the $15 or the $35.
If you pay for the premium one, dude, you get, like, AI engagement in the package and shit beautifully.
It does, like, it pushes your shit out there in the algo.
Engagers, like, expensive.
Like, $530 a month.
Ooh, shit.
But the community that you get behind it.
Is big and, see, I'm doing it while we're going to be running, um, um, like, our marketing.
So, the thing is, is you can turn it on and turn it off.
So, it's kind of interesting.
Um, I talked to, like, Aura about it and they, they have gotten a lot of members from it that they would have had to pay, like, you know, like, ads for and stuff.
You know what I mean?
So, we'll see what happens.
So, dude, you could just, like, so you could pay for one month and then shut it off for the next month or whatever if it's not, like, performing or whatever?
But, also, also, we can, um, you get your own landing page and with it.
But, like I said, I can promote our projects with it.
You see what I'm saying?
So, it's not just, you know, so that's the, that's the thing.
That's why I think it's going to be useful.
Yeah, no, dude, I'm definitely interested in it, for sure.
And if I, you know, if I start getting, like, tons of engagement from it, then great.
And if not, it's an experiment and then we didn't, you know, I'd move on to something else.
Exactly, dude.
And that's what I figured I'd be doing with this, this other website, figuring it out.
I'll pay the little monthly thing.
We'll see what the hell it is, you know?
And, like, yeah, I mean, like, really, it's just about us keeping our failures out and looking for the right data.
As soon as we get the information that we need, we'll just implement it, you know?
Well, and, you know, you get people that say, like, marketing, I'm not doing any marketing.
Like, you have to.
Absolutely.
You just got to find, you just got to do the right marketing.
Don't hire these people that are showing up in your Discord saying, oh, yeah.
You know what I mean?
Like, well, you don't know how many, you don't know how many people that get got that.
Oh, I do, dude.
Trust me, I know.
They, like, they almost got me a few times, man.
I'm like, dude, what?
But, well, you know, and they're like,
they're good at what they do.
You know what I mean?
Exactly, man.
Sorry, guys.
I got to step off.
But one thing I'm going to say on the app, next, what we can do,
what I can do is I can just put, like, banners as well.
But for you guys.
For Wolf and then Duck Club as well.
So we can do that as well.
Okay, yeah.
Let's do it.
Whatever you offer in the banner, that way, just go.
We'll make it clickable to your whatever.
On the website, Discord, and they'll do that.
We do have around 20,000 downloads so far, so I don't know.
Might as well use it.
Yeah, no, that's the thing.
And that's the thing.
And, like, I'm saying, like, a lot of the ideas I have for, like,
the gamified when we get there and the token and stuff, you know?
Like, you're already established, so we can use that momentum, you know?
Definitely, definitely.
And then we can work together, too.
Like, now you're trying Engager.
So we'll see if whatever works, we can work together sometimes, too, right?
Because stuff can get expensive.
Like, I can't spend as much in marketing because I'm spending on the app.
Right, right.
And also, like, we can figure things out, you know?
Well, and that's why I want to help you, the dog club.
Like, that's why we want to work together.
And that's what we were talking about when we were saying before, like,
real partnerships.
Like, not just, like, hey, I'll put you on my website.
I'm on your website.
We'll keep working together, you know?
No, no, for sure.
Okay, guys.
Got to step off.
Have a good time, man.
And we'll be back this week, for sure.
Thanks so much.
Have a great day.
Hey, enjoy your day, Pele.
Have a wonderful day, bro.
Thanks, Alan.
Have a good one.
Yeah, man.
That's a great idea.
Like, we start, like, so what I always like to say with people,
like, when I was in bands and stuff and, like, trying to get the team together,
I'm like, look, guys, we need to be like octopuses.
Like, put our tentacles out and wait until we – and look for those opportunities.
You know what I mean?
Like, we need to find those opportunities.
But that's a great idea, man.
Work with that.
Let me know how that works.
If it's working, bro, I don't see any reason why – if, like, it's help –
it's benefiting all our projects, bro.
I don't see why we can't split that bill or something, you know what I mean,
and figure that shit out.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
And we'll try it.
And then, you know, we just get – like, to me, it's like,
at least by getting the engager thing and, like – you know, the good thing is I get to talk to Aaron in the background
and I get to ask him, like, should I do this or whatever, you know,
and he's, like, giving me, like, straight-up answers and, like, explaining to me why.
So I feel like, you know, as I go through this and I'm, like, thinking of things
and we're working together on things, we kind of, you know, gather stuff from every side of things,
you know what I mean?
So we don't – you know, our reach, like you were saying, so, yeah.
Yeah, definitely.
The more informed we are about all this stuff, the better we're all going to do as well, you know.
But, like, dude, like, for sure, I'm going to post that link.
I'll send it to Pele as well.
But I'll post that link.
You can check out this website.
It's pretty legit too, man.
Yeah, I want that.
Look at their little packages that they have.
They only have two packages.
Look at the most expensive one and look what's included in it.
That was kind of blowing my mind, bro.
I was like, damn, like, as soon as our dog food's ready, I'm paying that bill
and I'm having that landing page set up and it's going to be like – yeah, man.
Like, well, you know, and that's the crazy thing too is, like, as we go along
and we find out what's working, right, then we know, like, hey, we're actually,
like, almost like we're doing our own marketing.
You know what I mean?
Like, we're not just depending on somebody, like, to say, like, oh, yeah,
I'm going to do this and this and this for you.
You know what I mean?
Like I said, the only reason –
We're not getting, like, in sync, bro.
Like, that's how we got to do it, bro.
Like, literally, if we could all, like, go and just, like, like and share each other's
shit on Instagrams, Facebooks, TikToks, like, because we all have multiple profiles,
you know what I mean?
Then we should all start seeing some shit, like, picking up pretty quick, man.
Well, you know what I've been doing lately is – and I'm going to tell, like,
what we should start doing is if we do a tweet, post it either in the pack chat
or we can make, like, another chat where we just kept a couple of us in it.
And so that way, if I do a tweet, I post it in there and then you know when you see it.
Right, exactly.
And then when you see it, you know, and then, you know, that's the main thing, you know?
I mean, it's – you got to trick the algo.
That's all there is to it, you know, because it's unfair bias, you know what I'm saying?
Yeah, it has nothing – it's nothing to do with our business.
It's nothing to do with us.
It's nothing to do with the words we're using.
It has everything to do with just – if it doesn't receive that initial engagement,
it won't fucking pump it, dude.
And that's – I've learned that shit the hard way with shit, dude.
I'll go through on all my profiles now after I make a post and like it
just because I notice a big improvement in the fucking reach, dude.
Yeah, yeah.
Well, and, you know, the thing is, too, is you like when you're –
when you do something like that and you actually see, like, oh, okay,
this is working, you know?
It's, like, it's beneficial to, you know, you know when you're doing the right thing
also, you know?
So, I mean, that's my thing is, like, I hate doing things for no reason, you know?
So, I think – and I think us working together on everything that we've already
been working on has built up our want to help each other, you know what I mean?
Yeah, absolutely, bro.
Definitely.
Absolutely.
Because, like, here's the thing.
Real world problems being solved, and that's the difference, you know?
Right, right.
Well, and, like, okay, I know some people, right, that I know, like, in the space that
I like, but I know they're out for themselves.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, and that's okay, you know, if that's who you are, you know?
And I can utilize you in the correct way, but, like, I don't – I'm not going to hold
you close to me, you know what I mean?
You know, I understand that shit, too.
I mean, like, I feel kind of honored that Kaley kind of appreciates us and wants to work
with us, you know, because he does already have, you know?
It's like, you know, so to invite us into that is a pretty big deal, you know?
No, I'm honestly, dude, like, honored to be around everybody that we're partnering with
right now, man.
This is everything that I dreamt it could have been, dude.
Like, we're actually doing real-world shit.
We're making a difference.
We're doing it, like, with no greed involved.
That's – bro, just to say that, dude, nowadays is crazy, dude.
What do you mean there's no greed involved in that?
What are you talking about?
Nobody's making money off that?
Like, I'm just saying, man.
Nobody does that shit nowadays, dude.
Well, you know, it's like you watch, like, people, like, projects that I've watched, right?
And I'm like, you know, they come into the space and they, like, you know, they act like
they're trying to do something good, but you can always tell, in my opinion, you know?
Like, I can – like, right from the get-go when I met you, I knew that, like, we were both
for the right reasons, you know?
Sorry, man, I was fumbling with the fucking mic button.
Yeah, no, dude, as soon as I met you, dude, when we hopped on that video call, I was like,
oh, dude, this guy's a fucking punk rocker.
He's into dogs.
Like, for real, I could tell that shit.
Like, you could tell when somebody chooses words, man, the words they choose to use.
It says a lot about somebody, you know?
Yeah, bro.
Like, yeah, man, the passion was there, dude.
That's why I was like, dude, we got to fucking think of something.
Something, you know?
Like, fuck, dude.
Well, that's why, like, dude, have you ever noticed somebody that, like, jokes around all
the time and stuff, right?
Like, not all the time.
I mean, can take serious, but, you know, can have fun and, like, we joke and shit, right?
Like, but, like, when it's time to do serious shit, we'll get it done, you know?
You know, that's the thing, like, you know, there's some people in the space, too, that
are like, I'm like, what are you, a stick in the mud, you know?
Like, I don't even want to talk to you, you know?
I mean, I don't know.
I don't judge anybody, man.
Everybody's just themselves.
Everybody's different, man, is what I realize.
No, but I mean.
Like, we're all the same shit, just traveling in different little experiences, man.
Yeah, but what I'm saying is the people that you run into that you can tell are not doing
it for the right reason.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, and that's the people that I don't like, you know?
That's where, like, for instance, there was one project that my friend got into, and I'm
like, dude, that's totally a rug.
And he's like, no, dude, it's a rug now, you know?
I mean, we've all had to learn those lessons, man.
I think that's honestly a lot of what separates this space from what, like, where we all come
from and, like, our backgrounds and shit, man.
It's like, out here, dude, it's like, you either learn or you sink, dude, like, real fast
in this world, you know?
So, yeah, man, it's like, that's why I always say crypto separates the cream from the crop,
It's like, like, the smartest people in the world are right here in these spaces.
We're blessed to have access to even speak to them, like, in this form, you know what
Like, that's crazy.
No, I know.
And that's why I say, like, when I met Nar, like, it was, like, refreshing, you know what
Because he was, like, just different, you know?
Like, you know?
Yeah, no, he's a big man.
I don't know how to explain it.
I could tell right away.
He has good intentions, man.
He's trying to do the right thing.
I could sense that shit about a lot of people, man, if they're actually, like, people's
intentions are evident, dude, by their actions, their words, if you just pay attention, right?
Yeah, just try to stick to real people, man.
And I honestly feel like that, that real shit will get a lot.
Authenticity's always been the thing that I've gravitated to personally.
Like, I want to fucking be around authentic people.
I want to be around authentic situations.
I want to hang around with somebody who's not bullshitting me.
You know what I mean?
Like, I don't know.
So, I feel like just as long as we just keep that authenticity, we keep true about what
we're trying to do, our mission.
We make sure we let people know that, like, we are a team.
We're doing this shit together.
You know what I mean?
Like, and we always corroborate that together.
Like, you know?
And make sure people realize, like, hey, we're doing this shit.
Like, whether they think it or not, this is happening, and because they are part of these
communities that we have and these groups and stuff, like, they're actually going to
benefit from this, you know?
Like, I think...
Well, and I'll tell you this, too.
The animal community that I've dealt with, like, they're usually in it for the right reason.
Usually have integrity.
You know what I mean?
Because, like, the ladies that I work with doing the rescue, you know?
Like, she's...
Like, she's a great thing.
I'm not saying all of them, but definitely most people in the rescue are genuine with
Absolutely.
There's a...
Like, dude, when we're out at those freaking protests and, you know, there's, like, kids
out there, and they care, and I'm like, damn.
I'm like, this fucking kid cares more than his parents.
More than, like...
Like, it blows my mind, bro.
I'm like, damn, dude.
Well, you know, and sometimes it's like...
And that's why I want to have the information to get out there, you know?
Because sometimes, like...
Like I said, when I first got a dog, I didn't know certain things.
You know what I'm saying?
That I would have loved him on it.
Yeah, dude.
Like, nobody teach...
That's exactly what my dad said.
He's like, that's a fucking great idea.
Nobody ever teaches you shit about dogs when you're a kid.
No, you're just supposed to get a dog...
I swear, right?
And know...
And either know how to take care of it, or...
Go spend a bunch of money...
...on classes.
You know what I mean?
Or have the money available to get the resources that you actually need.
And make sure that it is ever.
They don't know about it, right?
Like, they understand that.
Like, look, this is either going to cost you money, or it's going to cost you time, or...
Or it's going to cost you your freedom, probably, if you're not real careful, you know?
Like, yeah, there's...
I think...
Yeah, I mean, obviously, we don't want to be, like, super harsh about it in a kid's thing,
but I think those lessons...
Right, exactly.
...need to be taught.
Like, hey, dude, you could wind up in jail if your dog kills somebody while you're out,
Yeah, exactly.
You know what I mean?
You know, and...
And, like, you...
If you're not responsible with the dog, like, say, you know, you leave something around
for it to get into, right?
And it's like, you know, it's one of those situations, like, where if it can happen,
it will happen.
Yeah, that'd be...
I'm trying to think of how the actual little game that we're talking about could go, like,
when we gamify it.
And that'd be crazy.
Like, you remember, like, Friday the 13th?
That video game on Nintendo?
Like, where you walk and open the doors, and you gotta choose the doors and shit?
That shit was cool, man.
Yeah, I've been thinking about that, too.
Present them with different choices, right?
Like, where they make the right choice or the wrong choice.
But, you know, that's the cool thing, is that we have time to, you know, think about different
things like that.
Add things, you know?
And, uh...
Yeah, we're gonna have plenty of time to add all that stuff, for sure.
What's crazy is, bro, all that...
Where we were talking about where you could rescue dogs and do all that stuff, dude, that
Pele's already got that stuff on lock, dude!
That's what I'm saying.
Yeah, man.
Dude, for sure.
Oh, this makes all the sense in the world, dude.
Like, what are we doing?
Well, he's right in the idea with it, dude.
Yeah, man.
He's, like, pro, too.
He's really good, dude.
It's all about adding stuff to his app, or whatever we gotta do, or if we gotta do another
Yeah, man.
I was thinking even eventually, bro, possibly one of those things we could do is possibly
DRUG a coin and use that as, like, our token, you know what I mean?
Since it's, like, doesn't fucking cost shit.
And that will be, like, the collaborative token, right?
And we'll use that for the kids and for fucking...
Like, we'll just throw fucking liquidity into it, essentially, as we generate it.
Well, and we can...
We could also bring up, like, basically, like, the dogs dug up this...
Found this, like, token, you know what I mean?
And then she, like, brought it back.
There you go.
Brought up this shiny token and shit.
I can see the memes already.
That's funny.
Yeah, no, dude.
I just feel like, like, why spend the money, right?
Like, if we're already doing, like, this collaboration thing together and we could already...
All we gotta do is just fucking grab the whole supply of a shit coin that's already fucking
dropped to below zero for nothing, you know?
Like, it's just a much easier thing.
We just gotta find a shit coin with some letters that actually make sense, right?
Yeah, but, uh...
I don't know.
What's up, Gordon?
I see you down there.
Juice, what's up, fam?
Oh, Juice was dipped right when I said that.
Rhino, Hish.
I see y'all down there, fam.
Web3 Mogul.
Appreciate you guys being here this whole time listening to us rant.
But y'all gotta admit, dude, derugging a coin's a good idea.
That's a fucking...
Yeah, well, like I said, it's only optional.
Yeah, exactly, dude.
And really, you could dictate everything about it because you control the supply.
You could pass it out as you see fit.
You know what I mean?
Like, donate it to where you see fit.
Whatever the case is.
So, yeah, I just thought that was, like, an idea that might work for us, you know?
Like, to just pull something off, like, really quick and clean.
And even with the morp, like, if the dog's finding it or the wolf's digging it up.
You know what I mean?
Like, dude, that's...
We could call it the...
It could be, like, the stray coin.
That'd be sick if we can get stray coin, dude.
I mean, I'm...
I don't...
I've never heard of that one.
So, we might have to actually make that, but...
I'm saying, like, just treat it like it's a stray.
You know, like, we're bringing it in.
That's a rescued coin, bro.
Yeah, right.
Right, yeah.
I see what you're saying, dude.
That's fucking...
That's a good one, man.
That's a good one.
We rescued a coin, dude.
We fucking...
We're so into rescue here.
You know what we're doing?
We fucking pulled a coin out the trash.
That's good, man.
I like that a lot, actually.
That's a good one.
Yeah, man.
So, I don't know.
What do you guys got going on today?
What do you got going on, Franny?
Hanging out.
I got to fucking get back to this fucking yard work, dude.
I probably might mow my lawn.
I don't know.
I had the chainsaw out yesterday.
I had the fucking pole saw out.
Clearing all this debris so I can get this netting up.
Like, block us out a little bit.
Anyway, guys.
Thanks for showing up.
Appreciate y'all.
You already know.
Everybody here.
You guys are legends.
Appreciate you being here, fam.
Hope you're good, dude.
And I know, actually, Gordon's working on something along the lines of what we're talking about.
If you want to come up here and share that with us, bro, you're more than welcome to.
But, uh, no pressure.
Yeah, man.
Definitely, brother.
Anyway, thank you guys for being here.
Appreciate everybody that showed up and stuck around listening to us rant and crazy ideas and shit.
Brandon, thanks for sharing those ideas, man.
You got amazing ideas, bro.
We're going to do this and it's going to be fucking epic, dude.
People are going to be like right now, man.
This is like, the way I see it, dude, this is like Sleeping Giant shit.
They have no idea what the fuck's about to happen, dude.
But when it hits, it's going to be like, whoa.
Well, and that's why I don't call it a bear market.
I call it a builder's market because we're building constantly.
What up, Gordo?
Yeah, a little bit, is it?
I don't know.
I just lost the Pauly Diamond for another.
What's up, man?
How you doing?
I'm sorry.
I got fucking, my headphones are doing some weird shit.
My dogs are barking.
Hey, Gordo, share with us what you got going on, man.
What do I have going on?
Yeah, I know you got a project you're working on, right?
Well, I got a father that's deployed and minting and we're pushing it out.
I just did Nars Diamond.
His Polygon Diamond is on chain.
It costs like 30 cents to get it on chain.
It's freaking crazy.
I think I spent more like fake Matic, which is actually, I guess, real Matic,
than I probably spent about one Matic testing.
And then like 30 cents to deploy.
That's crazy.
That's so cheap.
Can you send me the link to that?
That'd be awesome.
I'd appreciate that.
For the mint?
For Nars Mint?
Or for the contract?
Oh, you're talking about Nars Mint?
It's 30 cents?
It took 30 cents to deploy a Diamond on Polygon.
Oh, gotcha.
And initial.
Understood.
Sorry, man.
I'm having some issues with my fucking Air Clause.
You had Nars NFTs, what?
That's what you said.
It's like 15 bucks?
Yeah, dude.
I'll pop some of those today for sure.
I already got two of the OG collection yesterday.
I got four.
I got four of them.
But I'm going to get some more.
Yeah, I was thinking about picking up a couple, too, for a giveaway or something for somebody.
Bless somebody in the community that has a project or something.
We'll see.
I got to figure out.
We really spend so much freaking money lately, this whole thing.
My wife's giving me the slow down signal, and I'm like, okay.
Yeah, but definitely, yeah, guys, I appreciate everybody being here.
Ape Father, Gordon, you said?
Yeah, Ape Father, that's a revitalizing of a Rugged Project Ape Dads.
I was one of the lead mods with my co-founder.
The devs walked.
I was like, no, you can't do this to dads.
The artists had come for the art a couple times, too, so we were sketchy on maintaining that art.
So, with an investor and the support of the community and some OGs, we outsourced, and actually, it's her first project that she ever did the art for.
She's actually the relative of the core investor, so he's not freaked because, like, the money didn't go off into nowhere.
He actually paid his family member to get the art done, and she did an amazing job.
So, that way, we were actually able to pass off the IP.
She signed a contract selling the traits to the business, and I published the full IP ownership contract on the smart contract itself so that it's tied to every asset.
Then passing the NFT, the full NFT, not the traits, but the full NFT to the holder so you have that full commercial IP ownership.
Yeah, and, like, we're just going to be building.
I got an idea for a gamified ecosystem using the diamond.
I really kind of want to build out a gamified platform a la The Sims and integration within Web3, utilizing either Sims 4 and a mod, because that's...
I can see it happening.
I can see where all the connections can be made, and also the benefits that you could use.
Like, I use the easy example of getting something within the game and it directly minting, but not minting to your wallet, minting to the NFT, because it's a token-bound account.
So, now you have a character who's bought something in a metaverse, but that something's actually a utility something or an item that minted to your real-life NFT wallet.
Things like that.
What are they going for on mint?
Ours right now is 0.03, because we're trying to re-derug and put some value back into the business.
As this market is being really tight, and we are going to look at possibly restructuring and maintaining that anything within Phase 1 mint is going to maintain its true value, all future benefits of the ecosystem.
And after Phase 1 into either Phase 2 or Phase 3, those ones will be structured in a way that will be very cost-effective, but not necessarily...
Like, you'll be getting mostly the IP ownership and some benefits of the ecosystem, but not, like, I wouldn't be adding token-bound accounts.
And future things that'll be really cool will be limited to the OG collection, which will still be one collection.
They'll just be the first batch that were minted.
Oh, my gosh.
Yeah, so, like, we're looking at amazing things of implementing.
Like, I have an idea of, like, you could use the mod of the Sims.
We import the traits into the 3D rendered models.
And now your IP, your avatar, your father, your A-father, is actually the Sims avatar character within the gamified ecosystem.
And we just go from there.
We implement ideas.
Like, I've got raffle contracts.
I've got token-bound account contracts that I'd all love to implement.
But we've got to get the business rolling first before I start tacking on more.
We're not going to build out additions until we actually have the house built.
Like, so, I just want to touch on this real quick.
And, Gordon, dude, what you're doing is, like, commendable, dude.
Like, you guys are straight grabbing a project that you were already a part of and bringing it to the levels that you already know that it's capable of being, man.
That's huge, bro.
I got to give you props on that shit for sure, bro.
Crazy, man.
Not crazy.
It's sane.
It makes sense.
That shit is fucking legendary.
So, dude, like, what I want to know, like, obviously, it's tough right now for any projects.
And we know that.
Wolfpunks knows that.
Everybody, every project's feeling it right now, man.
This market's crazy.
We've personally had to pivot, like, three times just to even stay here, you know?
Just like, yeah, dude.
So, like, we understand that aspect of it.
What I'm wondering is how hard is it right now for you trying to get that in front of people's face?
Are people even being accepting towards it?
Because I personally think it's a good idea, but I know, like, everybody is different, you know?
So, I'm wondering, like, how's that going for you?
For what, Barrett?
The change of the mint or the gamified aspect?
Just trying to get Ape Fathers in front of people's faces again and have them, like, actually grasp the idea.
Hit and miss.
Some people see it.
Some people understand.
Like, we're not here for the pump.
We're not here to say, this asset is going to be worth two weeks, like, in a year.
We're here to say, this asset is going to evolve.
This asset is going to grow with the contract, with the project.
It's not tied down to the first implementation of what we've built.
It can directly be added to.
And, like, I talked about token-bound accounts.
I've not tested it, but I've compiled it.
I've got token-bound diamonds.
So, your token-bound account would actually be a diamond contract itself.
And you could actually, you yourself, as the token owner, could add the functionality to your NFT, just like any other contract, and turn it into something that's much more than even just the NFT is.
And these are just things that I'm tinkering with and trying to push boundaries.
And, yeah, that's where I mean.
It's hit and miss.
Some people are afraid of monkeys.
PFPs are dead.
Blah, blah, blah.
But, like, that's where I'd keep maintaining.
This is going to be more than just a PFP.
It's not only the IP that we're fully giving you.
So, it's more, it's going to be that avatar within a game.
It's going to be a wallet.
It's going to be an access token.
It's going to be evolutionary.
Could it be one IP?
Could it be two IPs?
Could it maybe later be three IPs?
That's what we're looking at.
So, that, like, right now, we're going to be constantly pushing out that the main collection.
These OGs will be the most valued out of the collection because that was the whole purpose of it.
And anything else, like you say, we have to pivot or move or change, will be still part of the collection.
Just not so high valued in terms of being able to have those benefits within the ecosystem of everything that's going to be coming.
Because it's very easy to create a little bit of a limit or set some OGs on these tokens.
And this is why we mean by evolving.
And I don't have to redeploy a contract or migrate anything to add functionality.
We're going to add them directly to the tokens.
And that's where I think it is just cool.
And I have this plan of how we're going to go forward.
But also, we're open to ideas and communities and collaborations and stuff.
And then implement that even further with what the community wants.
Like, hell, I drafted a dad wisdom contract.
That's like you input your dad wisdom or whatever.
And you can vote and upvote and downvote.
And whoever gets the most votes after a month or whatever gets the prize, wins the prize.
You know, that you could do dad milestones where you can mark your milestones on the blockchain with, like, JPEGs or a little story or whatever.
Same thing.
You could not necessarily upvote or downvote, but you could have a marker where holders or even just public could read it and say, this one helped me.
You know, this is a great thing or congratulations on that milestone for your son or whatever.
And now it's forever marked on the blockchain with your event celebrating your father, your fatherhood.
And that's where I'm seeing us go, integrating your own personal life within the blockchain.
And now you'll never lose your digital pictures.
You'll never lose that memory because not only have you put it on the blockchain, but it's put on the blockchain, marked on a transaction at this day, at this time, with that picture and the description.
And either visible to just you or whoever you want it to.
So, like, there's just so many possibilities that I want to just grow with.
And that's where Ape Fathers is.
We said we don't have a roadmap.
We got a honey do and a honey done.
So the honey done is giving them the art, revalued the assets, super efficient burn claim, and now on to the mint and constantly building from there.
And now the honey do list is more like, what do you guys want us to do?
Where do we go from here?
Dude, that's genius, bro.
I love that, dude.
The honey do and the honey done.
Dude, my wife wants that list, dude.
Oh, my God.
Dude, that's so clever.
Dude, I honestly, like I said, man, I can't give you enough flowers for what you're doing, man, resurrecting this and with these amazing ideas, bro.
Like, you're literally bringing that tech to the limit, man.
Dude, like, I'm so stoked to see what happens.
And you better understand I'll be grabbing one of those Ape Fathers, dude, especially the OGs, 100%.
There's some, because we've been marketing and pushing out some crazy giveaways through NFT Arcade and stuff.
There's some snipes on the floor.
People are dropping them for like six bucks, eight bucks, whatever.
We're going to just keep going.
It doesn't matter what the floor price is for our project because, like, I know what we're going to be bringing long term.
And if we got this far on very, very lean, I'm telling you, I've like, essentially the expense that we've paid for in the business is the art.
And once we are able to pay off the art, which has been paid to the artist, just not the investor who paid the artist, once I pay that off with the business, we're gravy.
We're off to the races and anything else is going to be moving towards working the business, paying the team, growing and expanding into the next phase of what we want.
Because, like I say, I'd like some mothers in here.
I don't think they went that far with the project.
And I think building out a family within our ecosystem that also mimics the family that you would have in the game that we want to kind of develop.
But we're not going to rewrite the wheel.
Like, I looked at it.
The Sims is very, like, it's on Epic Game Store, which is blockchain friendly.
They already made their statement that blockchain games are allowed on Epic Game Store.
And EA is very accommodating to mods because they wouldn't be where they are without the moderating community, the modding community, to expand and grow the platform.
So I looked at the conditions.
There's no conditions that would hinder us from being able to create a specific mod available to our holders that would basically be the Sims connected to the contract.
Because then it would just, the mod would essentially be the API connecting to the smart contract, utilizing all those benefits.
So if somebody wants to help your project, would you rather them sweep the floor, buy them in, join the Discord?
Like, what's your call to action?
Oh, I appreciate that.
Call to action is if you're, if you want to get into the project and you don't necessarily have the .03E to pick up one off the floor, because there are some people that got some for giveaways and clearly $5 in their pocket is, is worth whatever they want.
To directly support the project would be obviously to Mint.
That will get, obviously, money directly into the contract wallet that I then move into the, the ledger that I have and distribute it accordingly.
Right now, because the mints have been slow, they've been paying for the, the, the, the light mint expenses.
There's about $10, $20 on Pinata every month and $10 or $15 on DigitalOcean just to maintain the API.
But other than that, um, that's really what we've been doing is just slow building, slow growing, uh, and appreciating all the, everybody who sees what we're doing.
Cause like, like I say, I want to do this organic, but we've had, I've had so many of those marketers come into my DMs and be like, Oh, we'll push you.
I want to collaborate.
And like, no, this is real.
This is not a fake pump and dump.
As long as it's going to take, it's going to take, um, like we're just going to keep growing and building.
So yeah, call to action would be, there's that, um, the, the mint for 0.03, uh, and like I say, we're going to be throwing out a little bit more incentives and then restructuring into phase two to make it so that essentially it's going to be even more accessible to all, but you won't necessarily get everything that we'll be building out over the longterm of the project.
All right, guys, you heard that.
Then what you want to do is if you can go mint, uh, jump in the discord, share your mint, let them know what you got and, uh, you know, start supporting them and you're going to get all the perks from the get go.
Um, and you want to, you want to try to do that soon.
Cause you don't know how long exactly that's going to last and just go support them and help them grow their community.
You know, uh, sounds like a really great dude.
And I love the idea that, you know, this is her first project and you guys are all working together.
So, you know, uh, I'll definitely be supporting.
I appreciate it.
And yeah, this is what it's all about, right?
Family supporting family.
Yeah, exactly.
You know, and to me, and that's why I always like to ask call to action.
Cause you know, some people, they like the floor sweep.
Some people don't care.
I'm more on the, I don't care kind of side of things because my first mint was a free mint and we've already surpassed, uh, like one eighth trading volume.
And so I'm happy with what it's doing.
And, you know, I buy them a couple every now and then just to do giveaways with them.
Um, I don't really, you know, like sweep my own floor, but I don't really need people to sweep the floor.
I want them to buy them if they want them, you know, to get that collection.
Cause it's going to be something in the future that like, if you hold that, you're going to get something extra.
But, you know, the main thing is, uh, yeah, like, like I said, you know, just go in, participate in everybody's discord, you know, support people you like and, you know, support people that are, you know, trying to redo a project.
I kind of think it's cool how you're the eight fathers instead of like the eight dads.
It's almost like, kind of like the project grew up, you know, it sounds like, and that was the idea.
Cause the original project is eight dads.
So I, I like that, you know, and like I said, uh, you know, I, I think everything you're doing is cool.
Sims is, you know, that's a cool way to go.
And, uh, you know, like I said, somebody that's here, that's building, in my opinion, if, if you're worried about the price of the floor, a lot of the times it's because, you know,
you're not really, you don't have anything to care about.
Whereas it's like, once you guys come out with all the stuff that you're going to, people are going to be like scrambling to get it because they're like, Oh, I didn't realize all this, you know, but then they're not going to have the chance because they're not going to be able to get though.
And geez, so yeah, because we're going to own them all.
I don't like to hear it in Brandon's voice.
Well, and I like, you know, here's the thing too, is like, I, uh, you know, I know you said like some people are scared of like monkeys and stuff, but like I tend to, which I, I still, you know, I have a few eight projects that I'm into.
Oh, gee apes, uh, worry pixel club.
I like the ones that are kind of like unique looking, you know what I'm saying?
And don't look just like the same old thing.
So I went on, I already went on to, uh, open C I went and I saw them inside and everything.
So I've already looked at them and I think they're unique looking.
So I like that, you know?
Yeah, I appreciate that.
And that's also what I found is she did an amazing job.
It's nice and clean.
It's friendly.
It's like, we have some, like some weed traits, whatever traits in there, but like, they're not obtrusive.
They're not in your face.
They're, she did a very clean, nice job.
I've, I've gotten people say, Oh, it's got, got that Dr. Seuss vibes or, um, all of that.
And that's the idea is because we're going to really want to target, not just us, but families.
Cause like, if it's a Sims style game, you, like you're going to want, Oh, Hey, I'm going to let you, if you finish your homework,
I'm going to let you play the, the eight father Sims.
And, you know, then they come back to you and say, Hey, I got this, this, and this minted to the wallet.
Cause I, cause I completed these quests.
Well, awesome.
Like, you know, they get to enjoy a game that they know and, and want to play, but also you get the enjoyment of actually, you know, acquiring other assets or building out the ecosystem.
Yeah, no, I think that's a great idea.
And like I said, I've, I'm a big Sims fan.
I've been playing it for God.
I remember like, you know, SimCity and like when I was a kid and then like, you know, when the Sims came out and like, you know, just, I've always liked the, the kind of mechanics of it, you know?
So that'd be something I would definitely be interested in playing.
So that's, you know, that's kind of what I like to hear is like, what kind of game are you going to build out?
Cause like, there's so many like, you know, Mortal Kombat, like slash Tekken kind of games and not saying anything bad about them, but it's just not my speed.
You know what I mean?
I'm more like, I would sit down and play a game like Sims before I would, you know, something like Tekken or, you know, Mortal Kombat.
So it's cool to see that.
And like you said, I, I, you know, I have, I don't have any kids, but I have nieces and nephews and stuff.
So it's like, you know, if they're here, like they can play and it's not like, you know, worried about what's coming up, you know?
And I mean, I've been paying attention to the latest news and the Sims four has a solid modding community.
So eventually like probably be able to dip toes in there and help, but like, we're not trying to reinvent the wheel.
Like with the Sims having the fan base that they do, we're just looking to bring that to our holders because doing so, then you eventually others will see it and realize, oh, I want to be a part of that mod too.
But to be a part of that mod, they have to buy the asset.
And that's what we're trying to do.
And then expand further.
Like the Sims four is where I'm looking at because it's out, it's established.
And there's a modding community with all these different implementations that eventually I'd love to delve into and then connect to the contract.
And what I'm really looking forward to is what they call project Renee.
And it's going to be the Sims five on unreal sneaks and all of that.
And it's going to be on Epic and they're working with EA, which means that's all feasible to possibly implement later.
Because like I can see EA still maintaining true to their, their commitment to the modding community, because again, they wouldn't be where they are without that community.
So you still have to kind of throw flowers backwards, even while implementing like layer five, Sims five, but opens up so much opportunity.
Because Unreal Unity, or Unreal is what we use, who's, you know, with Blender and all that.
And it's just going to integrate seamlessly, even more seamlessly with what we've been doing in Web3.
So I'm excited for all of that, because like, we can look at the Sims four right now for implementing and look towards Sims five for the future.
Like, I like the, I like what you say to about not reinventing the wheel.
You know, like I see a lot of projects that are going to build their own, like, when I build my own metaverse and a game and like, that's completely opposite of my thoughts.
My thoughts are like the game that I'm building, I want it to be able to be put into a metaverse.
I don't want to have the expense of building a metaverse.
And then, you know, you don't have any traffic.
It's like, with all these metaverses, like, you got to understand where the traffic's going and, you know, who's going to be successful.
Well, that's just like you were saying with the Sims, like, people already play it.
So now you're just incorporating something into it where you're going to be kind of owning your own character in it.
But it's still kind of a game that you know, and you're familiar with.
Own your own character, and then as a community, as a team, as a Web3 family, we come up with the ideas, the quests that, you know, you got to go get a job.
Hold that job.
You got to take your kid to the amusement park, whatever.
And in doing so, you fulfill a quest in the contract.
In fulfilling the quest, what do we do?
We airdrop something or we mark them as a conditional something that they can get later on?
Like, all of these are possible, and they're just cool implementations to me that I see that we can just always think forward.
Well, that's awesome.
I think it's great what you're doing.
And also, I think it's great to, you know, if you can revitalize a community, you know, kind of give them hopes and that they're going to, you know, not waste.
Because I know we all have those assets in our wallet that every time we're flipping through, we look at or, you know, some people hide them, you know, and I'm just like, I just keep them there.
I don't hide anything because I just keep everything, but I'm like, you know, and some of them, this is the worst part to me, is when you look at a project that's rugged, that you actually like the project, that's the worst part, you know?
So, it's like, if you didn't, you know, if it's just like something you bought into just because you thought you were going to flip it or, you know, you thought, you know, it was the thing to do because everybody was buying it.
But, you know, when you actually like a project, and I have one of those that I really like the project, but it's not going anywhere.
And that was really this, and we felt like as the two lead mods, and we were like the frontline guys, and we had faith in the project, we could see where it could go, but the devs just wouldn't, they wouldn't meet us halfway.
Like, we were that bridge between the community and them, and they just, they wouldn't meet us, and it was, they just kind of did their thing, and the community rejected.
And I was like, well, let's, let's reboot it, because I see so much more potential than what they brought us.
And it's funny, because if you look at our new art compared to the old art, like, these ape fathers ate those ape dads.
Like, they're scrawny compared to the team.
It's like, oh my god, we like these?
All right, well, I'm glad we could have you on.
Nice to meet you, and, you know, hopefully, like I said, I'm going to be supportive.
And I'm sure, you know, other people will.
So, we'll look forward to seeing what you're doing in the future.
Yeah, Gordo, appreciate you coming up and sharing that with us, man.
That's awesome.
Everything you got going on is awesome.
I mean, literally, dude, I'm a fan, for real.
So, you know we'll be there.
I appreciate it.
I haven't been around lately.
It's been a whirlwind of a week, actually.
Lost my kitty boy two weeks ago.
Passed away, like, 2 a.m.
Oh, I'm sorry.
So, it's been heartbreaking.
Because he was my boy.
He was my little one.
And so now, even though all these teams...
I told you before that we were looking for a place to hold him while we're kind of in a middle spot.
But now, I only have to find a spot for one.
Or I might end up trying to build, like, a little cat home in my parents' backyard so she can at least stay with us.
Well, so we'll see.
We'll see.
It's just been a whirlwind a couple weeks.
Yeah, I hear that.
Well, that's the other good thing about the Web3 community is, you know, you can come in here and talk about everything.
And, you know, you've got our support on everything.
So, if there's anything we can ever do with the animal stuff, you know, we're always here to help, too.
Yeah, I forget who has it.
Somebody said immortalizing them on the blockchain.
I might pick whoever had that up at some point.
Yeah, popular.
Yeah, and that's who we've all teamed up with.
Yeah, I think that's an amazing idea.
Like, because, you know, I do rescue.
And so, we put out a calendar every year.
Like, you know, like an in-real-life calendar.
And I always thought it was cool because we have the Rainbow Bridge page, a couple pages in there.
And it's, you know, people's dogs have passed away through the, you know, time.
And it's, like, it's really cool because, like, you can have that calendar forever.
But, you know, putting them on the blockchain, now it's, like, you know, they're living forever.
So, yeah, I love that idea that he came up with.
Yeah, I'm currently working.
I might put him on my father here.
But if I can get him drawn up properly and matching and looking the way I want him to and wrap him around the father's neck.
So, he's going to perpetually be on my legendary father.
Yeah, exactly.
I completely understand that because it's nice to immortalize him, you know.
Yeah, Gordo, sorry you're going through that, bro.
That's never easy, man.
That's, like, literally some of the hardest shit I've ever been through in my life.
So, I totally get it, man.
He was low-key, little cat of mischief.
We got him in, like, 2009.
And we got him.
And then we got another one, Hunter.
And then Hunter had FIP to pass right quick.
And then they were shelter cats.
So, OSPC may actually, if you provide the certificate of passing within a year, they'll just waive the fee and allow you to adopt another.
So, we got Dakota, and she's the one I still have here.
But, yeah, Loki was that mischievous, sweet, little snuggled cat that, like, he was just, he was getting up there.
He was getting 14, 15, and he was a tabby cat.
And started getting really skinny, and who went, what a place that he could be going.
Yeah, it was just, I was hoping he'd be a little bit healthier and longer, but it is what it is.
And at least he doesn't have to go through another move and being somewhere without me for an X amount of months and all that.
Yeah, I completely understand that.
I'm laying here with my bagel that I've had, he's 14, and I'm like, you know, he's slowing down and stuff.
And I'm dreading, you know, I try not to think about it.
But, I mean, it is reality.
You've got to, you know, know what's coming.
It's not going to be great, because my Schnauzer, who actually lives with my parents, my mini Schnauzer,
that also I had around the same time, I got at the same time as Loki there.
He's obviously getting up there, and so it's going to be great these next 6 to 12 months.
I don't know exactly what you mean.
I'm not looking forward to that, but, you know, I just enjoy him always here, so it's all you can do.
She's become the biggest, the other cat has become the biggest snugglet in the past, like, two, three weeks.
Like, she now, like, comes under the covers and, like, just goes, like, right up, right up to you and, like, straight up.
Here's my belly, here's my body.
I'm just going to snuggle right up to you and sleep.
No, that's cool.
It's cool.
It's amazing what they can pick up on.
Yeah, well, sorry not to bring down the room, but, yeah, that's just what we've been going through.
No, you're not bringing us down, Gordo.
You're good, man.
I mean, it's all over there.
Yeah, we think about him.
You're celebrating his life, you know, and you're telling us about him.
And, you know, also, it makes me more apt to want to get into your project because I know that you're an animal lover.
And, like, we just had that talk about how, you know, animal lovers are, you know, genuinely, usually good people.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, I mean, I threw him up on the old banner there.
I found an old picture of him.
Well, not old.
I think it's pretty recent.
But I had to throw it up there just to give him that homage.
That's beautiful, man.
We appreciate you, Gordo.
100%, man.
Anytime you want to come and talk to us about that kind of stuff, man, you're always more than welcome.
That's stuff we take seriously, man.
Like, losing a pet is like losing a family member, you know.
We're there for you, man.
If you ever need anything, just reach out, bro.
Appreciate you guys.
Yeah, definitely.
All right, guys.
Well, I'm going to get going, get this yard cleaned up, man.
I appreciate every single one of you in this company.
Thanks for hanging out with us today.
Brandon, dude, I'll be in touch, brother.
And we'll get this PDF together.
And yeah, I'll keep working on stuff, getting better and better.
Absolutely.
Gordo, I'm coming to support, man.
Best believe it, brother.
I think you're working on some cool stuff, bro.
Appreciate you, man.
Appreciate you guys.
Yeah, so everybody, you guys have a good day, dude.
Give your dogs a hug.
You know, Gordo, give your cat and your family a hug right now.
You know what I mean?
A hundred percent, man.
You guys take care, all right?
I'll talk to you all soon.
I think we're going to set up a space for Wednesday, 9 a.m. Pacific Standard.
And we're going to probably be the same people, popular, Wolf Punks and NARIA.
Yeah, and we're just going to keep pushing on these topics and keep pushing these projects.
So, we love y'all.
Brandon, dude, take care of yourselves.
Give your dogs a hug, bro.
Yeah, sounds good, man.
I'll talk to you later.
I'll let you know when we get those treats together, man, for sure.
Okay, cool.
All right, guys.
You guys take care.
Thanks for being here.
Appreciate you guys.
Later, Rhino.
Letter, Weapon, Mogul.
Appreciate you guys.
Weapon, Mogul.
