Full Transcription

Thank you. happy friday sorry i was stuck on mute
no you're all good uh a lot of the time i'm like in the middle of sending a message and I'm like, ah, I got to go back.
Got to go back.
Are you working?
Not working?
What's your status?
I'm not working.
I am currently not working.
I am enjoying this week off having a nice little vacation off of the madness.
just here enjoying myself
awesome hey welcome hey how you doing i'm good you sound um
you sound like a different delta you like different batteries
i'm taught dude i'm still fighting this cold but i'm better now
I'm still fighting this cold, but I'm better now.
Your voice definitely sounds a lot better.
Yeah, that's what I was trying to convey.
I was trying to instill as a battle-hardened general,
this is a recorded space, I can't get to Patton.
I'm trying to do a like a george c patten
kind of thing yeah see you already sound better how are you guys
i can't complain as i was telling robbie just now like i'm i'm doing good just here and enjoying
the time that i have off from work and you know just been experimenting and uh enjoying the time that I have off from work and, you know, just been experimenting and enjoying the art.
It's good to hear.
I, uh, I made the, I'm trying to make a joke and I don't want to make a joke.
We, we started going to the gym.
We went to, yeah, we went to went to uh we live in like a neighborhood
that has like a uh shit it's got like a little gym and tennis courts and other things that we
have to pay for that you know we don't ever use and we started we went to the gym and it's uh i'm trying to think i'm sore in ways that i i'm i'm like
happy i'm sore and i'm sore in ways where i'm like remembering i don't know being 17 and then the
you know gym trying to get ready and you're just like completely tore down.
And it's like, it was one day, like I can't go in.
But yeah, I think
the one that got me, there's two.
But the one I'm going to blame is
squatting with a kettlebell.
Doesn't sound bad.
I've had some shoulder issues.
Like for a couple of years, I've been fighting some shoulder issues.
So like for when we're doing our pushups, if for some reason like I'm having a,
hey, my arm is kind of having an off day. I'll do body weight, like squats where I, you know, have me
use my arms and go down, but I don't have any of my hands. Well, this was, I put a 20 pound kettlebell,
20 pounds. It doesn't sound like much. It's like a small baby. Like I put a 20-pound kettlebell in my arms,
and it has you hold it out in front, and it has you go up and down.
And it's reminded me that I have muscles in my legs.
So anyways.
You've been doing a lot of endurance with the walking,
so you don't normally feel it.
But having to actually use them for for active lifting is a whole different monster.
Well, and that's this that's this thing.
Like I, I, Andy, I laugh at it.
And I actually at the same time, my brain goes, really?
Because it's like.
I just I posted this thing just uh i think posted it yesterday i
average nine miles a day for the year like so i'm using my leg muscles every freaking day but like
you're right i'm not and and i think what it is is um i'm trying to think of like an analogy for all those that want to hear my cool analogies.
It feels like when you're cooking a turkey, like when you're getting ready to like get the turkey and like there's like appendages that are kind of sticking off that whatever.
Well, like my legs feel like they're normal in certain spots.
And then there's like these ligaments and things that i
think that i don't use normally anyways i'm really boring on a friday talking about my legs but
i'm better i'm better you're better chums off we've got andy in the crowd also also
there's more yeah there's more. Oh, yes.
Well, I'm about to sell another one of one probably tomorrow,
so I'm pretty happy about that.
Get out of town. So if I missed it in the group chat, or are you doing like?
Just a private sale.
It's not private.
Like, you know, it's .8 he's picking it up.
It's a collector that's collected from me before. But, you know it's 0.8 he's picking up it's the collector that's
collected from me before uh but you know we came to an agreement this morning and i'm gonna mint
today and accept the offer tomorrow for it is it the same series as something's already out is it
new yeah it's the same series i'm gonna mint it in the same collection as, like, my other one of ones that I've been working on.
But, no, everything's going to do.
I mean, like, you know, issues were down to, like, the last 14 as well.
Like, we've had five back-to-back auctions, so.
It's felt like there's been some... I don't know.
It feels like there's some fine-tuning.
I don't want to say I'm listening to The Force,
but I spent time listening to a lot of different people
as opposed to just getting one guy.
And I've got some people that I really respect
and I won't get really excited about it,
but Gary Vee did a thing today
and he and it was more it was more comic book book focused and you can go listen to it if you
want on youtube it's there's a there's a thing you can go listen to it it's him and the two other
guys that are part of the comics any it's not not an nft focused conversation it's just really you know it's comic book focused and
it's really like this kind of and i would think you'd even be excited about it delta it's like
this resurgence of he thinks four-year-old kids today will be comic book collectors in six years
like he's making this like reverse, you know,
like I keep telling everybody I want to get a dumb phone.
I'm tired of having a smartphone.
I want to just have a phone that I can talk on.
And then I want to like do other things somewhere else.
And he's saying that kids are going to be like, Hey,
I want to like collect comic books again.
Is he going to be right? I don't know. Is he really perfect?
Maybe my point is, and I'll get, I don't know. Is he really perfect? Maybe.
My point is, and I do want you guys to talk,
I'm just, I want to get to where he's going,
is he's building characters in comics.
So there's nine comics out.
Tenth one comes out in January.
It's going to be the Rare Robot,
one of these other characters.
But he's building these characters,
and he's doing such a way to try and make it so long-term, at the end of the day,
sort of the people that have bet on this and the NFT people,
that ultimately the NFT people will see something from it,
and he's trying to reward along the way.
But it was just interesting to see, because he and a few others
have come out lately saying they're feeling like there's not going to be a lot of
communities that survive this next 12 to 15 months and i don't i'm not saying that in an
arben gedden kind of way i'm just saying i'm listening i'm listening to it i i mean he's not
wrong i mean he's 100% true.
The vast majority,
because you can look at it from the point of view of how many artists are still here from 2021.
Not many were able to survive during the bear market.
It was rough.
A lot of people came in on the high hopes
that they could make a living selling artwork and it would be easy. the bear market, like it was rough. Like a lot of people came in on the high hopes that, you know,
they can make a living selling artwork and it would be easy.
And that ended up being wrong.
And you had people like me who stuck it out.
But I will also say this, like,
even though the vast majority of people left,
if there is ever a resurgence in the space,
which we all hope there's going to be, otherwise why the hell are we still here?
Right, right.
Those people are going to come back, 100%.
Not all of them, but I would estimate a vast majority of the people that left are going to come back.
And my question, like, as an artist here, because I don't look at it as a competitive space at all,
because I'm only competing against myself.
My big thing is, for the people that come back,
are they going to get priority versus the people that have been here and stuck it out for these last few years?
Are you asking, is there going to be clicks and priorities to people that sort of
have some sort yeah i hear what you're saying yeah i'm curious because like you know and this
is mainly from like a you know towards a collector perspective it's just like
is it gonna be where the vast majority of like the new shiny thing is
like the best way of saying it,
like the new shiny artists,
the new shiny like person that,
that's coming into the space or will there still be weight to having built
relationships here and having stuck it out for the last four years?
I have a couple of things.
So I'm going to, i do want to comment on this
as a collector the comment go ahead okay sorry i'm just right your hand yeah okay i'm making
sure everyone is everybody in the crowd to at least do two people respond as a collector i look
at from a couple things i look at there's a there's a longevity there's a
relationship that you've built and the that i'm using you as an example you in your group chat
in your your group uh lunches that you do in person and you've created and are built to sauce. So you have what you have.
I think at the same time, in the same breath,
and I think I would say in parallel,
because I loved your opening statement
of not in a competitive way,
because I think there's a plethora.
I don't think there's a limitation,
especially if we're really air quotes
talking about this mass adoption.
So I think there are artists that have gone away mostly, I think, due to the need to eat
and to survive and to subsist and to have their families and kids and all the things that, you know, require a pivot. But I think as a collector of some of
those people's art, I've not only tried to keep it alive by, hey, from time to time,
we talk about it, we put it in a shameless plug. We put some of my oldest stuff into the tweak
zine and talked about artists and were able to get some of their links
in to talk about it. And I think if I saw not an, if I hate that word, um, when I see them show back
up, it'll be with open arms and Hey, I, you know, I think some of it is selfishly like, Hey, I want the investment in what you did before to be something someday and to see you use
that to continue to kind of springboard to grow and to, hey, people are back and they're doing
things. So from a collector's perspective, that's what I think, as opposed to, hey, I'm taking what
I would use to get a Delta piece and I'm going to go give it to this other guy that didn't survive or do this nuclear winter for us.
You know what I mean? I think I wouldn't look at it in a competitive way.
I would look at it as I'm trying to almost, you know, sort of that whole rising tide thing.
Like it's anyways, I'm I'm too much of a hippie child built, built in the wrong year.
If, if I'm going to, first I'm, I'm a piggyback off of that a little bit.
But if I, if I were to say, you know, from a strictly,
the people that have still been in this space um for for a lot of us
i'm sure it would be a happy moment to see these artists coming back or at least anybody that like
truly enjoyed creating the art um to see them come back and start creating again um one of the ones
and delta i know this name is going to strike a chord with you, but Captain, if he were to come back and start creating again, I would be really happy because I enjoyed seeing his art on the timeline every day.
But as far as the audience as a whole, I think what would drive people to them is the fact that they were here in those early days and how they take that audience attention and use it would be entirely
up to them. But we've seen in this space, you know, certain people have their moment in the sun
for a few months and then, you know, attention shifts elsewhere. So at the end of the day,
it may give them a leg up in some way, shape or form, but it's how they use it in in the space and whether they're attempting
to just extract or to continue adding well i mean the main narrative with like people returning
and people that weren't you know that didn't stick it out during the bear market is like
it can look extracted like people left when times got hard and then they come back when times are easier and there's more free-flowing liquidity.
So it can look and be perceived in that way.
And I think – no, I am of the mindset of, like, welcoming people back with open arms because I know that this space is difficult.
It's not for everyone.
But I would also wear
those lens of looking at
people objectively.
Again, a name that
throws a lot of people off and I
have no negative comment to say about
them as an artist or a person or why
they left, Puck.
And I have no clue why.
I don't know the history.
I know that there's some negative sentiment
and some bad blood with that specific artist
from the collector's standpoint.
And I know that if they were to return into the space
during a bull market,
they'd probably get a lot of flack.
Because, like, I don't know if you guys know this,
but, like, Pac has objectively made,
he is the highest grossing NFT artist ever.
I was going to say,
I want to feel like I should know who this name is
but at the same time
I'm not really
I hadn't even thought about
Pac in a long while
I remember hearing some rumblings
when he first showed back up
but yeah you're right
so But yeah, you're right.
So I was going to make a two-pack joke.
I mean, I think there's a two-pack joke in there, right?
Two-pack for sure.
Pop made about
estimates of $200 million
in primary sales.
Are you fucking kidding me?
Seriously? No, he did one big drop of 200 million dollars in primary sales are you fucking kidding me no like seriously no no like
he did one big drop and it made 91 million from that one big drop just from that one drop alone
yeah so like he's the top selling nft artist okay just on primary sales uh i don't know what
a secondary sales market is.
I know another good artist that stuck around, Jack Butcher.
He sells a lot on primary,
but his secondary markets are absolutely fucking batshit,
fucking crazy on volume.
He puts these, and you've been doing this.
And I think with your last one on bit Bitcoin,
he puts these,
I don't even know what to call them.
Like hidden,
hidden agendas.
Like he puts out these things like,
do this and do this.
and people will go even though G and the X's or whatever it is.
I don't even know what you
call the the different things that he's got going out there but yeah he seems to he seems to touch
things and they turn to gold again because he has that community and he stuck around i like that
that's another thing when it comes to like sticking around the market is just like jack stuck around
regardless of like the market being up or down
but you can all again i'm doing it from the lens of like being very analytic and like you know i
jack's a good guy i love the guy like he i met at i met at my hub but he's also in a position
where he can afford to stick around right like it's a double-edged sword because like jack has
been so successful that he can just sit and wait for the market to come back to him.
So you got to look at these situations regardless of the relationship you have with an individual.
You got to look at it from both sides of the equation because once you've made it success-wise and you have this cushion to fall back on,
you don't really care about what the market looks like, to be honest.
You could just sit and wait until the market comes to you.
I hear you.
I hear you.
So let me throw it at you because I know your financial –
or some of the backgrounds and things that we've talked about.
There's like a whole breadth of people that are like living on the high or the high stock market that we have that.
We could like, you know, go down dramatically and it could afford it could cause a lot of people to go back to work and stuff.
So I don't know.
It just feels I don't know where my question was.
I lost my question mid-statement there.
I don't know.
I don't know where my head's at.
Economy's kind of been, it's been weird
and I've been listening to a lot of podcasts.
So like I said, I had a question for you
and I know it's there.
It'll come back later.
Do you have any questions for me?
No, I don't actually. That's good. i'm just trying to start an auction right now to be honest for you
no no someone else are you are you looking at uh christopher's yes i'm about to start it so like
i honestly i have my wallet open i was like do I pull the trigger on this and kick it off?
If you're going to do it, do it.
Well, if you outbend me, I won't bid you back.
I'm just like kicking this off.
Because I like the piece, but I don't have a lot of liquidity in my main wallet right now to like be in a bit before.
So let me make a point.
Yeah, no, I was thinking the same thing.
I'm like, ah, to kick it off, why not? But no, if you're going to kick it off, I think it'd be a bigger'm like to kick it off why not
But no if you're going to kick it off
I think it'd be a bigger name having you kick it off
Yeah I kicked it off
I'll quote retweet it
You sometimes have the sauce
I think is what he's trying to say
It's just like
I don't like bid wars
If I win it I win it i'll feel bad that i
want it for that price to be honest i want someone to outbid me but if by me starting
you know an auction can get more eyes on the auction and someone outbids me and the artist
makes more money i'm happy so well yeah so that's what I was going to say. I don't think every time that somebody bids a higher than another person that it's immediately, you know.
It's more money to the artist.
Like at the end of the day, it's all.
No, but it's not a war.
It's not a war.
I think a bid war, I just want to clarify for the audience because I think Chum and I are both kind of thinking this, but maybe we're not.
are both kind of thinking this, but maybe we're not.
A bid war is like,
there's 17 minutes left in this auction
and it's gone up 272% in the last three minutes.
And there's three guys that are bidding
and now a fourth wall has just showed up.
That's a freaking bid war to me.
That's like when it's whatever.
If it's just you and me,
then I come in and out, whatever.
You and I, if we talk out of band
and you're like, hey, I really want this
and I feel like you do have a chance for it,
I do back off.
If it's like, man, this shit's going up
like at least three acts from where it is right now
and he's worried about it,
I'll hold off for a little bit.
But then it's like, hey, I'm going to want to do back to you what you're saying i don't want to hold off it to
the last minute because i want more visibility to the artist and whatever so i i i want to try
to take the dead dead time down so you know what i mean there's there's there is an art
to trying to help sell art no i i definitely feel that and like you know all an auction takes is just two people wanting
that one piece and then just outbidding each other like that's all it takes for an auction
to go and like for me it's just like i do this all the time where like i want the piece like
i wouldn't bid on it if i didn't want it but I'm of the mindset if someone's willing to pay higher than me I'm gonna let them have it
because I can always just take that you know point point zero one eth and go start another auction
yep yeah and you you just got outbid i was gonna wait like and then place a bid
there's already another bid on it see there you go
i was intrepid but i mean at the end of the day that's that's the synergy of it
right no it's all good i think that's what i was asking last time about the two hour auctions i
really like the short term you know the ad focus kind of like hey we can get in get out and so i i
the two hour auctions are okay but they they hurt the awkward time zones like that that's the one
reason why I am...
Again, one of my biggest collectors,
Airstrip, he's in Australia.
He couldn't participate
in the fellowship drop that I did last
year because
he had to give money to someone
else for them to bid for him
because the time zone
difference.
I like the two-hour auction
uh as well but it's a net negative for anyone that is in a weird time zone i agree i agree it's it's
it's i wish there was a way to kind of mix them in and and you know there's no there's no perfect
way to do it but i just it's a it's a cool deal i think it would be cool to do
it especially if you could open it up where you could have almost maybe a discord kind of audio
this is back to me still want to run a marketplace i'm gonna keep throwing this
shit out till either something is built or chum and i build it ourselves but the two-hour auction gives you almost
that medieval times is kind of what i'm picturing like where you're all kind of
standing around and talking up and doing that kind of stuff you know yeah yeah i'm gonna put
you on mute for just a second because the doorbell rang and i'm not really sure who this one
was he being me or was or was he muting himself?
I think he was just saying he's going to put himself on me
while he answers the doorbell.
Because I'm pretty sure he said, I'm going to put you on you.
He's like, so are we getting you?
Yeah, exactly.
I was like, okay, I'm using myself.
But no, no, I don't mind the two-hour,
like, again, I don't mind the two-hour options.
But if I'm going to do that, I'm going to do, no, I don't mind the two hour, like, again, I don't mind the two hour auctions. But if I'm going to do that, I'm going to do, like, ten pieces, two hour auctions, but the auctions are at random times just to do coverage.
Like, I feel like that's the most fair way of doing it. Otherwise, like, I end up doing it, like, noon my time to, like, 2 p.m. my time.
And, like, people in Asia or Australia, like, miss out on it.
Because they either have to be awake or they have to be at home.
Or, like, it's just, I don't know.
You know, I definitely hear you there um i think robbie is is mostly referring to
what brain pasta has been doing with his yes his dailies um he's been doing them at the same exact
time every day it's been i love the two-hour auctions because it's like he's he's also doing
them at stupid low prices he's like it's only like a dollar something for for the start of the auction
so like doing something like that right where it's just fun and light-hearted and it's like
ah you know i got i got i got some change that's basically what you're doing you're just
grounding for change in your wallet i get that which makes yeah no no i get that 100 you know
another thing that i like is just like and this is the mechanic that I really had going with issues. It's just like every day there's an auction.
Like every day there's a new piece mainly.
So like just having these rolling pieces available no matter what I think is
like Justin Aversano does this too with his moments collection.
Like every day there's a new piece.
And guess what?
He does it in a way where if no one bids on the piece he bids on the piece he wins the piece and he just puts it in his bowl for later just to keep
the auctions going so that there's a new piece every day which i think is really yeah you know
i i really i really love those mechanics that you guys have done with that because it allows
it frees you up to do other things while also still like
having something new for for your audience and the people that want to be able to collect your work
and it goes back to like i talked to a collector today like and we were talking about like having
artwork available and like you know and this collector i've had weekly talks with for the past like six
months now like he's a really good guy but he told me situations where there was an artist
that a big collector wanted to drop like fifty thousand dollars on no joke on this artist and
the artist had nothing available not even in like you know not even behind the scenes. Nothing was available for private sale.
So he pointed the collector to his prints.
The collector ended up buying $60 worth of prints,
but the collector was willing to drop 50 grand on his artists.
So it goes back to always having something available no matter what,
even if it's in your back pocket,
because you never know if you'll have a situation where like
a collector wants to come in and drop like thousands of dollars on like artwork
what do you think just in your humble opinion what do you think is driving somebody to come in
and drop fifty thousand dollars they see they see potential they they see things probably from the
perspective of like they know things behind the scenes that others people don't realize or they
see things or you can look at it and you can also call it market manipulation getting in early you
know before prices pump up like i've seen collectors do that all the time i mean like
just like it's just about knowing the landscape and knowing how much of the needle you can move
because, like, at the end of the day, collectors have power
and they have the ability to move an artist market
if they really want to.
So, like, this guy could have had outside connections
and could have been, like, wanted to buy in early
before he tells all of his, you know, collector friends.
Like, there's different reasons why someone will want to drop
that much money, like, right off the bat right no it just feels
another situation where that might occur is uh like like with chambo uh you know you have a lot
of interior design friends and they have a project and they need to fill that space well here's another
way that they could go about doing that so there's a variety
of situations in which somebody would drop a crap ton of money but it definitely begs the point like
thinking long term as opposed to just like let me get this dollar right now yeah also yeah like
if you're coming in if you have fifty thousand dollars to spend on artwork right now, right away, you have money.
You're well off.
Sitting on $50,000 worth of artwork is not that difficult on a long enough timescale.
So that's also another perspective as well.
I hear you
I hear you.
is it too soon to tell you
that I've been watching Pluribus
no I mean I've already
finished it I'm waiting
we're probably going to wait like two years for the next season
to be honest
I just thought you'd be impressed
that I was watching it
I'm happy but I don't want to, I'm happy,
but I don't want to get into spoilers
because I don't know how far into it you are.
So my four episodes in.
How do you like it?
I think it's interesting.
I like how they've taken the perspective of,
and I'm trying to think of what you call it, the collective consciousness.
Is that the fair way to describe, you know, everybody?
You know, the collective consciousness believing that they're going to fix these people that are, air quotes, normal.
air quotes, normal.
Like, they don't, they're not thinking of it as,
well, we'd all like to go back to having individuality
as that's the, you know what I mean?
That's part is interesting to the storyline.
No, I like it because like,
I like shows like this because it makes you ask a lot of questions
yeah and it makes you think so
I don't know I love
the show I'm excited for the second season I don't
want to get too deep into it because like again you're
not finished with it yet so we can't like
do a deep dive discussion but like
I'll do it soon
I just wanted to let you know I was in
I'm in the game.
I've thrown some punches.
Guess what show I've been watching?
I finally caught up.
Crazy shit show, isn't it?
Isn't that a crazy show?
It is, and it sucks that there's only three more episodes this season,
and then it goes on
hiatus again it it'll be back they keep adding to people and more stars and all that kind of stuff
it's not going anywhere i love it dude like i started like i don't know like i i have a list
on my phone of shit that i'm watching right now. Stranger Things is over. I removed those from my list.
Does Landman make you want to get a truck
and move on to West Texas?
So you don't want to go be part of any of that stuff?
Yeah, I'm good.
So far, two shows that I'm actively watching,
Landman and the new Fallout season,
which I fucking love.
I'm going to start The Chair Company
probably this weekend.
The Chair Company?
Yes. I'm not
familiar. I'll have to look it up.
You should look it up.
It's starring Tim Robinson,
the comedian.
Tim Robbins?
Tim Robinson.
Tim Robinson. Tim Robinson.
Okay, I have to look it up.
Yeah, he's a very funny comedian,
but it's a comedy thriller show.
I will check it out.
I was just trying to blow the major feature.
I just wanted to let you know that I was in it and watching.
And the reason I don't get to watch a lot of these side spots,
my wife is not into it.
She loves me, so she sat there and let me keep watching them.
When they came to the next thing where it was like,
skip the credits and go right to the next show,
she'd kind of look over at me
and i got into the fourth episode and as i said i i thought it was interesting because i was looking
at it from more of a perspective and how it was feeling and would you really want that kind of
anyway so yes i don't want to talk any deeper because you're right i don't want any spoilers it's it's going to be interesting to see where it goes no i i i'm excited i mean like
i again i i just i i piece of i don't know like it's a good show like i highly recommend it to
anyone i guess i know what i need to start watching then you need to yes please there's there's no more
episodes so you can probably like binge watch it in like a couple days to be honest yeah you can
watch it at a healthy rate too if you want you know do it on a weekly thing i mean it doesn't
have to be binge watched but it is nice to know that if you want to watch it, you can watch it at your pace, which is so Robbie,
did you finish stranger things or you're not interested?
I never really got into it ever.
So I've kind of like watched and listened to people talk about certain
And so I'm,
I don't think I'm like ignorant to kind of the concept.
I just don't know any of the specifics at all.
Well, I mean, now you can start it because it's done.
So forever.
I mean, they're doing a spinoff.
It's already confirmed.
They're doing an animated series and there is a play right now on Broadway.
But they said that the entity that they had been doing
We don't know.
Because they're doing a spin-off.
We'll have to just see.
Spin-off as in like a
love interest
couple kind of thing?
We don't know.
The animated series takes place during
the main series, that's for sure.
It's just a side adventure
for the main series. That's been
confirmed. They're doing a
spinoff, which has not
been confirmed.
couple details that have been confirmed,
but I don't want to spoil it because it revolves around the new season.
And then the Broadway play is a prequel to the show.
Are you interested in going to Broadway to watch that?
Only thing I'm interested in going to Broadway to see is Beetlejuice, the musical. I thought you were going to Broadway to watch that? Only thing I'm interested in going to Broadway to see
is Beetlejuice, the musical.
I thought you were going to say Cats.
I was going to yak.
All right.
All right, good.
Darbles, your hand is up,
and you can be officially recognized.
You can take Chum's time.
Hey, guys. hand is up and you can be officially recognized you can take chums chums time hi guys I don't like as a Christian um um Velta Robbie drum hi everyone I'm the
Danny rough tricky astro falling because I've been. Okay, I was wondering, between Vecna and Pennywise, who do you think is way strong?
Pennywise, 100%.
If you read any of the fucking IT franchise, any lore, Pennywise shits on Vecna every fucking day.
Like, I don't care.
Literally or metaphorically speaking?
Beckner has no chance against Pennywise.
I don't care.
And then we're talking about the guy that's in the thing with the red balloon?
Pennywise.
The clown.
The clown.
Darbles, you had one shot at a question for Delta,
and that's where you went.
It was about a clown question.
funnily enough, Pennywise is female.
If you guys didn't know that.
Wait, what?
Yeah, Pennywise is a female.
Pennywise isn't actually a clown either.
Pennywise is an alien, isn't it?
Pennywise is a spider. A cosmic spider.
Wait, what?
Yeah, Pennywise is a cosmic spider
and also Pennywise is female.
It takes on the form of a clown
it is meant to scare people
and also it was one of the first forms
that it saw
you gotta watch the show
it makes sense
also Pennywise is scared of a cosmic turtle
that's Pennywise's ultimate enemy
is a cosmic turtle
like a teenage mutant ninja turtle kind of thing no giant turtle That's Pennywise's ultimate enemy is a cosmic turtle. Like a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle
kind of thing?
No, a giant turtle.
Like a giant cosmic turtle.
It, his mortal enemy,
is a giant cosmic turtle.
Stephen King did a lot of drugs, okay?
I was just going to say,
if you do mushrooms,
most of the questions
and the things I'm asking probably go away.
The shit that he has written is batshit crazy because he did a lot of drugs.
One of my favorite reads was his book On Writing, which he talks about how to write and how to be a writer.
And halfway through it is when he gets hit by the van.
So, you know, you can hear the narrative change.
He almost got it.
His wife almost divorced him because all he would listen to is Mumbo No. 5.
I love that.
Oh, I love that.
The guy is
crazy, but
what he has created
is a masterpiece
cinematic universe.
Because all of his stuff takes place
in the same universe.
Aren't most artists just a little bit? You have to be crazy to be an artist like yeah no
there's no no you can't be any ounce of sane to be an artist i've never met a sane artist before
an artist that walks in line like all the rest of the ants it just doesn't happen they don't
go together you can't like there's no way. To do this
full-time, to do this
as a lifetime thing, you have
to be fucking crazy.
Be a little more gentle to yourself.
You have to be different.
You have to willingly do it too, not
force. That's the whole thing. When it's a job
that you want to do,
you truly want to be an artist you're just nuts
you're absolutely nuts
and you willingly walk into that fire
yeah I hear you
no I definitely agree like there's no
other way that you can do this like it'd be
also Robbie have you been farming impressions lately?
I haven't done the thing.
I haven't made the – I haven't made the – I'm itching my beard.
I haven't made the I want to have the $5 million and do it,
even though I've been tempted.
Like I told you, the one guy offered for me to pay him to do it even though i i'm i've been tempted like i told you the one guy offered to pay
you know for me to pay him to do it and he used uh air quotes pent up payments like when you
actually finally get monetized there's all these like historical or back amounts that you're owed
and all that kind of stuff so he used that as a way to say you might have some some big check that would come out of them doing it and i don't know i'm i'm tempted
i i've been engagement farming a little bit and but i've been doing it in a way where i'm doing it
because i enjoy the conversations that come from it i I got to argue, I got to a couple arguments with some people about Fallout
in the TV show like the other day and it's gotten me like so many fucking impressions
and just having these bad, like I'm engaging with content that I love.
I'm not engaging in content that I know is going to make my stuff go viral.
I'm engaging, like, so I've been engaging with with people for Stranger Things, Kingdom Hearts,
and just my impressions are through the roof
right now because of it.
all, you're talking just all
acts type of impressions?
Well, that's good.
I mean, you're not doing it
I want to say
a sickening inorganic way
but yeah if you're
enjoying it
I'm not tracing drama and I'm not
forcing it and I'm not going after
like impressions for impressions
say I'm engaging with content
that I like and I think
that makes it easier because I get content that I like fed back
Darbles you were recognized for
some of Delta's
time please
the reason I was quiet was like my woman and I we were
arguing because she can't like believe that
Vecna she loves us she loves stranger thing and she believes I've been always
stronger than Pennywise so whenever I said Pennywise she gave up so she can't
like something in a new one where uh she said like uh uh between uh
this goes to you too bro between vegna um pennywise um who else again okay the pennywise the max uh
the max who again uh cut in the hat and nanny mcFew who do you think is way
stronger and Millie Poppins
Delta he's not
asking me he's asking you
have you been drinking
it's Pennywise
Pennywise is a cosmic threat
he is a cosmic entity
he feeds on fear.
Pennywise is over the max
on Mary Poppins?
Yes, 100%.
That's in the hat?
I'm sorry.
I was going to say, I'm not sure if Mary Poppins
could not win with the whole spoonful of sugar makes the medicine go down stuff.
Again, Pennywise would make Mary Poppins live her worst fears
and feed on her.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I want to believe the Wizard of Oz and the house will fall on the
person, you know?
I don't think so. I'm sorry.
Yellow Brick Road.
All I know
is Pennywise is
a cosmic threat.
Alright. So Pennywise and a cosmic threat. Okay. All right.
So Pennywise and Predator.
Pennywise.
What thousand fucking percent?
Like, what the fuck are you on?
I got one for you, Delta.
This one you'll actually have to think about.
Pennywise and Cthulhu.
Cthulhu, 100%.
Lovecraftian horror will outdo.
Because you've got to think,
Pennywise is based on Lovecraft horror,
so Cthulhu
is the godfather of that, so
Cthulhu, hands down, no matter what.
Dude, I...
That was like the Kobayashi Maru and chum just solved it i i
every every like fictional being has an upper power limit and i it goes back to like
goku versus superman the classic fucking you, you know, scenario where people will argue for days.
Same with like One Punch Man versus Superman.
People will argue One Punch Man
because One Punch Man only takes one punch
to win against anyone that he fights.
But a lot of people
say that One Punch Man
should be disqualified from this
argument because he is a gag
character.
No, One Punch Man
I think One Punch Man wins.
No, he is a gag character.
So he should not win.
Superman should win, theoretically.
That's almost like putting,
okay, who would die first, Bugs Bunny or Michael Myers?
Obviously, Bugs Bunny is never going to die
because, again, gag characters. Pull him up Bunny is never going to die because, again, Gag,
blow him up and he's going to be fine.
but what is
Omni-Man and Superman?
What's Superman? I don't care.
Omni-Man is going to eat ass.
I don't, like, literally.
Dude, Superman has more feats
in the comic book series in the animated series than omni man combined you just said eat ass on
a public show that's recorded that's what i was reacting to i wasn't reacting to the message
i was reacting to the just okay well it's still the truth, though. Okay, all right.
Superman has more comic book feats.
Superman has more TV feats.
If you watch the animated series,
Superman lifted the heaviest apparatus
known to the universe
on the moon
in the cartoon show.
Omni-Man destroyed
an entire world
in a few seconds.
I don't care.
Superman has more feats
than that.
What are you winning, Darbles,
for making this a
topic of Friday night's special space.
Nah, it's fun. My woman and I always do this a lot.
So I just wanted to see what you guys opinion on that.
And I think Delta and my woman picked the same thing.
She said Superman will beat Omni-Man.
We kind of like do that every now and then, every Sunday night.
All right.
I'm not worried about it.
I'm more about the Leave With Love stuff.
So I really hope that they all just like get together and play a game of
cribbage or,
some sort of card game or something.
Did you get your Christmas trees down?
I'm waiting for the fucking bags.
I ordered bags.
All right.
they should be here tomorrow, hopefully.
And then we can take down. We will only have one more
Yeah, we don't have any. You couldn't
tell that it was Christmas here. Everything has been
Sounds good.
We have vintage
mother-in-law is an antique dealer, so
we have vintage Valentine's day sort of decorations
do you have the lead painted tinsel i hope not oh man i'm so fascinated with that because like
i don't know i i watch i watch weird tiktoks and like you know yeah this guy collects old Christmas stuff and he has
the lead painted tinsel.
Now I've completely heard what you said.
No, we do not have any tinsel.
It's funny you say that because we
saw a tree, one of our neighbors, that was
out front and it had the
remnants of tinsel and
they tried to take it off
but they, you know what i mean i i don't
know i i thought that was stuff was all outlawed no i mean it's still allowed it's just it can't
be made of lead no be heavy too i think the branches have all gotten together remember
lawn darts and then they banned lawn darts. Remember how fun lawn darts were? It used to be.
Lawn darts used to help to thin the herd.
Yeah, I know. They helped you to figure out which one of your four kids was your favorite.
I'm totally being funny for the people that are listening to this.
No, I only bring up lawn darts because you're probably the only one here besides me that knows what a lawn dart is.
That was around during the time of lawn darts.
Andy down, no, Andy down there.
I know Andy knows what a lawn dart is.
He survived lawn darts.
I didn't get to experience them, but I've heard the horror stories around them.
Those and wood burners.
You know what a wood burner was yes i know what a wood burner is you know the problems with wood burners is they would sell them with like a two and a half foot cord oh god you know what i mean
so you'd plug it in and it would be two and a half you wouldn't get to the coffee table so you'd have
to set it on the floor catch the the carpet on fire. Anyways, yeah.
They've come up with some good ideas on how to keep kids entertained and parents buying new shit.
Why did you bring up the lawn darts?
I don't know.
We were talking about old shit. Okay.
I hear you. I don't think you can get them anymore. I hear you.
I don't think
you can get them anymore. I wish you could.
You probably could.
Someone has bought a shit ton
of them. They're in someone's garage.
They're probably still
available somewhere.
I would think there'd be liability.
Don't touch
this because you're going to be in trouble.
I don't know.
Some people don't know.
You're throwing a javelin up into the air and it's going to come back down like a spear.
I don't know.
How has 2026 been so far i'm tired because i've been sick yeah so once i get over the sickness
i'll be good
chum same question
uh you know 2026 has been uh pretty great for me so far um i i put it up there in in the
jumbotron for us but um we we talked about it briefly uh in our chat about doing a the subscriber
pass for the year uh for the tweak design so i i went ahead and I created that. And I put the post out for it.
Andy's already grabbed his.
I was surprised.
I turned around and got an alert.
And I thought, oh, is it sending me the message that I minted it?
And I'm like, oh, no.
Somebody actually minted one already.
So shout out to Andy for that.
I'm definitely getting mine next week as well.
Because I've got some of the artists in mind that i want to reach out
for for the artists of the month that we're going to be doing now um as as you know and as everybody
in the chat knows loop is going to be our first artist for january um so for this first issue
we're going to showcase some of some of. The next issue, we will be actually, I'll have some interview questions.
I'll have him answer.
We'll talk a little bit more about who he is.
And then the third issue is actually going to be the cover that he designs.
We commissioned him for that.
And we're going to be sending out additions to everybody that holds a pass
and then auctioning off a single one for the public
at large whoops i meant to do the heart and i don't i don't know why the sorry it was and it
wasn't a freudian thing i'm excited about it it's cool and i will be getting my pass soon as well
um is it retroactive so it'll give all the past ones that we haven't.
I'm being funny. I'm just being funny.
I do want to get the past ones that we haven't been able to mint yet at some point.
I'm just OCD there.
I will say when the site goes up, you will definitely skip.
No, you've been making it once.
You're cutting out, by the way.
You're cutting out a little bit, Chum.
Can you hear me now?
I can hear you now. All right uh i was just saying uh i will be
robbie i will be for sure giving you at least one of each edition from the past ones uh because
you've been buying buying three of each uh every time so yeah i'll for sure make sure you have
your full collection going forward all up thank you thank you i'm excited sorry go ahead delta you
were starting to talk too no i was just gonna say like no i i went shopping today like this
is off topic but like this is like i hate going grocery shopping because i'm reminded how much
shit actually costs yeah i don't know if you're like that, Robbie.
Usually, I just
send my family money to go
shopping for me instead
so I don't have to look at the prices that I went today
and it's just like...
I don't know. I ended up spending like 200
bucks today.
There's two of us.
I'm not going to tell you out loud how much we
spend. It's pretty intense.
I do believe that the best fuel that you put into the one meat suit you get
is important, and so some of that stuff does require some extra
compared to what you could if you were just willing to put anything in.
And I think it has slowly crept up.
And it's just one of those things that's not talked about.
So I hear what you're saying.
I'm strange.
I'm the oldest of four.
My parents were young and we moved to Alaska
and things were expensive.
And so we make fun of my parents. We're like, hey, we moved to Alaska and things were expensive. And so,
you know, we make fun of my parents. We're like, hey, we had to drink powdered milk when we were
kids. And so I'm just of this mindset that I always sort of, I'd rather throw food away than
have somebody at the table not have enough. So I'm just kind of odd that way uh so yes i hear what you're saying and food has um definitely gone
way up in sort of what it feels like on a weekly basis yeah we used to spend so i hear you
no i i'm of the same mindset it's just like i don't know i hate looking at prices
i do too i'd rather be ignorant to it yes i hear what you're saying
i do too i'd rather be ignorant to it yes i hear what you're saying
what's for i i shop central market i don't know what we're gonna have for dinner she
so we we have grand grandkids from north carolina the that last minute drove to
longview and so she drove down with one of our kids and two other grandkids and got to see everybody all together.
And I stayed here.
I had some things I had to do.
And we really didn't want to put the dog in the car for five hours.
So, you know, we started to do things in our lives to satisfy our dogs.
So I just, I hung out here.
So she's coming back.
Long story, she's coming back. story she's coming back and i think
i'm gonna try and talk her into going and getting some sushi well you go and enjoy that sushi all
right yeah i will i'll do some extra wasabi so it's spicy hot what about you are you doing anything
uh i don't know uh we got stuff to cook tonight i don't know what tonight. I don't know what I'm in the mood for.
Once this space wraps up, I'm going to go cook.
Chum, anything you want to know from Delta before we let him go?
Delta, so I know you've been quietly working on some different things.
Anything exciting for this month?
Yes, yes, yes, yes.
I'm glad you asked this.
So January 5th, I have to have all three pieces for AOTM done.
They are all at 95% done.
So this weekend I'm going to finish them up.
It's an open edition and two one of ones
you were trying to you were trying to get off the space and i know you guys it's like you guys
worked this out like you guys worked this out like you sent him some 0.01 each or something
and he brought it up like just i i i can't tell you the date because like aotm has protocol on how they like to announce
stuff so right it's gonna be more towards the middle of the month that's that's about it so
but like no i'm i'm excited because like i've been working on these pieces for like
the past two months and i think they're some of my best works i'm really excited about the
open edition because like i'm going to give a little bit of alpha here, which I'm okay to do.
It is going to be Burned or Redeemed.
There is going to be a minimum that you'll require to burn for all the upcoming Burned or Redeemed.
But you guys are going to get a little bit more.
Whoever wins the one-of of ones that go to auction
won't have to buy any of the open editions i will airdrop them the exact amount that
they would need to burn for to get all the artworks throughout the year so
are you saying just for clarification are you saying that you will you give like hey in order
to get five open editions you're going to want to or i'm sorry five burned or redeemed you're
going to have five open editions like is there going to be guidance i i will i will let everyone
know okay ahead of time and when it goes live i would be like to to get all of the editions upcoming for
2025 you have to get this many burned already or this many open editions yeah and i'll just let
people know straight ahead exactly what they need and i will let the you know i will also before the
one-on-one auctions go live i will let the people know that whoever wins these one-on-one options or one-on-one auctions
won't have to buy the open editions they will just get airdropped the exact amount that they
will need for the whole year for free nice nice great question chum this is why you run a magazine
just just that that that's out like that right there i haven't said that to anyone else to be
honest so like that's the early alpha but like all that information is going to be available
before he's really good at asking questions that make people feel you know comfortable in a
vulnerable state and give out stuff so i mean don't feel like it's a trap or beam i don't know
i'm excited like i'm excited about the artwork because I've been working so hard on
it so like I am I'm excited but I'm also nervous because like it is man you guys got me gushing
like the open edition is like old school delta sauce like old old school delta sauce like I went
back on that one so the the two one of ones are newer like newer newer some of my newer works like right
look like my newer works but like I went really old school on that open edition so I'm really
excited about it and nobody has seen any sneaky peeks or anything like that no no the only person
that I've seen sneak peeks are the AOTM teams
because they wanted to look at the artwork beforehand
and see what I was working on and what I'm working towards.
And also my management.
Those are the only two groups that have seen the artwork itself.
I'm excited.
I'm excited.
I heard it.
That's not going to allow us to see it.
I didn't understand the question.
You modulated again.
Yeah, Sean, you cut out.
I think it's just the area I'm in.
I was saying that press pass isn't going to allow us to see this one.
No, it's not.
You'll see it when it's done.
It's not even done yet.
Like I said, all three pieces are about at the 95% mark.
That was an attempt at a dad joke.
I'm just going to say that out loud.
I know it was.
As a dad, I recognize he took a swing.
And he missed.
He did. He did miss.
Not by much, though.
I mean, it was pretty darn good like i saw
where he was going i was gonna say the same thing because because i have issues with you
oh god do i do i that was funny but now but now that you brought up issues like
i have issues with you i know you have issues with me but now that you brought
up issues like i find this funny because like i do got to do another airdrop for special edition
holders i think i'm a special edition holder for pulling that sneaky peak thing so just remember
that when you're doing that so it's all right i'll remember that it's okay all right i'm gonna
go figure out dinner if anybody else um down the crowd invited Danky, but he didn't come up.
If anybody want to come up for the last minute, hey, hello, whatever.
If not, I'm going to.
I'm going to head out.
You're heading out.
You're like a baby.
You're going to head out.
I'm going to head out.
I'm going to go get some yogurt.
Have you heard the hockey one?
Have you heard the hockey one?
I'm like a hockey stick, and I'm going to get the puck out of here.
Am I dating myself?
Is that not even a good one anymore?
Also, I got tiramisu.
I've heard that one.
I got tiramisu Oreos that I want to try.
I want to make like a tree and leaf.
All right. I'm done with them. No more leaf. Oh God. All right.
I'm done with them.
Enjoy your weekend.
Appreciate you guys.
Talk to you next weekend.
All right.
