Perfect.
Yo, yo, welcome to the Lones Vibe Sesh.
We out here.
Another chill-ass day.
Another vibey-ass day.
Been cooking up. Been going hard out here, making all type of moves.
Definitely, definitely would love to hear from you, Aaron.
So if you'd come up, definitely come up.
But yeah, I've been talking to Zoll, Candy.
We've been figuring out everything for the grand space that's going down on Sunday.
So, oh, what's up?
You're on stage.
What's good, Aaron? How are you feeling?
How are you feeling? Hi, just about being on here to see what's cooking because I've been seeing you
on these spaces and I just wanted to know what is this about? Oh, no doubt. No doubt. Would love to
let you know. First of all, been seeing you on the timeline as well, going crazy. You know what I mean?
So yeah, definitely big shout out to you. Glad, as well, going crazy. You know what I mean? So yeah,
definitely big shout out to you. Glad, you know, you really fully stepping into your artistry and
like just, just really, really putting it out there. That's, that's really the vibe. That's
really how it goes. And yeah, loans is essentially, we giving out grants. Essentially, it's a token
that we created on something called Flaunch. So there's this new token launch pad on base that's called launch where
essentially whenever people trade the token,
the creators get a 1% of the trading fees.
So like as people are trading,
like you don't have now you don't have to dump on people in order to quote
unquote make money.
So we're using those trading fees to give our grants.
So that's what is going down on Sunday.
And we're going to have like a lot of grant spaces like the Shark Tank,
but we call it Loans Tank, where people like bring up their ideas
or whatever they're working on.
And, you know, people that are holding loans get to decide
on who should get the grant for that day.
And, you know, as more people trade the loans token,
the more we can just give away grants. So like, it's pretty simple, pretty simple logistics and
idea. We also have these like daily spaces where, you know, we just come to chop it up,
see what everybody's working on, what everyone's doing, you know, just to just to put ideas
together. Because I really miss I really miss the spaces we all used to do. know what i mean like when everyone came together everyone had all these ideas and you know the
crypto space was all bustling and whatnot but now it seems like you know things have kind of died
down and that kind of energy hasn't been out there so we're like hey we might as well you know try it
and see what happens you feel me oh that's so interesting but is this your project
like are you behind all this and um what kind of projects are like do you give loans to like is
there any certain topic yeah first of all yes i'm one of the co-founders me sam and zol so i'm pretty
sure you know you know the other two.
But, yeah, we're the ones writing this.
It's not somebody else's project, which is a great question.
But, yeah, we get whatever.
It's whatever the people that hold loans think is the best project to put funding behind.
That's it.
Because the idea was, as I've been creating waveboards all this time time we were looking for grants we were looking for funding etc etc and we realized
it was like it was hard you know like it's like damn like and then you got to wait like 12 000
weeks and whatnot for to hear back from anybody and then even when you do hear back from folks
it's like no you know what i mean so i was like okay how can
we create something to like speed up this process you know what i'm saying because like we want it
to be such that we do the space and like immediately in the space we give away a grant you know what i
mean we don't have to wait for like weeks and whatnot it's just like yo whoever wins that day
you know is good and we launched this
during like the meme coin time when people were trading like crazy so we were like look if people
are gonna trade we might as well create something that people can trade that we can use the those
trading fees to like add value you know what i'm saying now you know the meme coin space has died
down and whatnot but we think after we run our first loans tank space and like people actually get to see the vibes and like get to see how it works and how it moves and whatnot, we could change the game.
You know what I mean?
Wow, that's so interesting.
Well, I hope I can swing by and hopefully one day I can like come up with it.
and hopefully one day I can like come up with like I already have projects you know but I
like I don't want them to be like more like that music focused you know I want it to be more like
more a big thing so I hope I don't know what time do you guys host these
Shark Tank spaces yes pinned up top it's the first pin tweet right up top you can uh
set a reminder there it's gonna be our like very first one and it's gonna be on on sunday
is a is the day we're running it but yeah even music projects work because like the idea is like
the the projects that are gonna probably get the most grant funding are the projects that like
also help
push loans in a way. You know what I'm saying? It doesn't have to be like all about loans or
whatever, but it's like, it should be like a feedback cycle, you know, like a flywheel.
Like as these projects go out, they bring more attention back to loans. People start trading
loans and then we have grant funding to get to the next people and then etc etc and just keeps growing like that that's the goal you feel me
okay thank you thank you so i set my remind reminder and i will make sure to swing by
on sunday thank you no doubt of course of course yes we need you there, Aaron, 1,000%. Good to see you in the space.
Good to see you vibing with us.

you know finishing the code and getting everything right getting stuff audited etc etc but yeah we
definitely working on taking it to the next level and actually really
appreciate you for like joining us so early you know when we're when we quote quote small
we never forget that you know what i mean so yeah yeah of course like i i'm a full supporter of
everyone who like have like a project that puts like their whole heart in it you know that means so much to
me and i like to be around that energy so i'm so happy to support no doubt no doubt let us know
what you're working on what are you working on lately like what you've been cooking up and then
we're gonna say what's up to candy yeah so now i'm like just adding like the finishing touches uh to my album like it's
being finalized like and everything so and yesterday I had like my first call with my
production team which are basically like that sounds like a big team but they they are just
basically like two friends of mine that were the ones that helped me put up everything on my last videos.
So now we are like starting conversations on how to aim this new album.
And it's going to be like, it's not that I'm lazy, you know, but I know it's going to take so much energy.
So I'm trying to get my mind prepared for that my mind and my pocket too you know
yo yo that's what's up though because like that is one thing I definitely admire about you you put
a lot of like passion and like love into your craft and like I think that's really really what
it's about and the fact that know, you're like preparing yourself
to give something to the world rather than just, you know,
willy-nilly giving it out is like, it's already a success.
You know what I mean?
So yeah, definitely keep it up.
Looking forward to it for real.
Your music is very, very calming.
Definitely, definitely think you should continue

thing you know rv that's a whole nother story but we do got the the thing up top the little uh arrow that's in the half box next to
the three dots on the top right i hope that makes sense but yeah if you click that you can you can
repost the space and yeah candy what's up what's up how you feeling how you feeling
i'm doing good um i actually just got out of the shower. I got a quick minute while the baby was still sleeping to shower.
So that always makes me very happy. Good start to the day.
Yeah, and just been like working on the forum site.
I got the first version, you know, recognizing how many, uh, loans are in your wallet that's working.
Um, and then I, I tested, um, I used the bolt 44 and kind of made that, that version, I kind of
made some adjustments to, and now I have to get that one to recognize the loans because um and then i tried
it on bolt and i don't know bolt was pretty good i wasn't super impressed but bolt was pretty good
but it's crazy how fast these uh that's my baby playing the guitar in the background. I was about to say, my G growing up, yo. Let's go.
Yeah, my daughter has like a black junior guitar.
And he loves it.
And he likes to get it.
And he sits and strums on it.
I'm like, that's cool.
So maybe we have a musician in the family.
I was about to say, yo.
Future musician, yo. Yeah. He's pretty good, actually. so maybe we have a musician in the family i was about to say yo future musician
yeah he's pretty good actually and it's funny because like my my other son um is an awesome
artist and i'm like where do you get this from and then he like plays musical tunes like without
even trying i'm like you guys are so awesome but But anyways, yeah, that's what I've been
up to. Anxious to see what Zal's up to while I finish getting ready here. Yeah, yeah. Zal,
the man of many moves. Let us know what you're doing, man. What's up?
No, man. I'm up to so many different things all at once always. But my girlfriend's birthday is on Monday.
So I'm actually doing a lot of personal stuff, getting ready.
We got some friends coming over tomorrow.
So I got to clean up the house today.
Got to go get some dinner and get some alcohol and hopefully, you know, have a good time.
Focus a little bit more uh
on her since i've been you know cooking up all this stuff all the time always so uh you know
trying to use this week as a more of a focus on home and then come back super strong for q2
for for april i'm really excited just thinking about more socials and like
how we can start doing more stuff on barcaster youtube and tiktok
i mean yo you wanna you wanna give us some some insight as to what you're thinking is
gonna be on those channels bro like what's happening man i mean a little bit of everything
um two of the things i do want to tap into a little bit more is comedy and sports.
Those are two of the things I used to post a lot about.
But ever since I've jumped into this on-chain music world, I've been talking a lot less about.
And today's opening day, actually.
So I'm very excited, super stoked to watch the Sox.
So maybe I'll start streaming a little bit more while watching the socks and just doing some work.
There's a lot of cool things that will be coming.
A little bit of a mixed bag of everything.
That's always how it is.
But the first goal really is to ultimately create the Zows brand on all of these pages
and push that forward a little bit more as well as the personal brand.
And then I help our amazing
friend here can you toy box out with youtube and getting some some more of the tutorials and stuff
up and running and going so i was able to send over our nexus to jed our links page which now
you can go to at links.thezow.com or nexus.thezow.com. And my goal is to grow that
page ultimately. So Hurricane, Candy, and even Aaron, since you are definitely a part of the
ZOW as a Wave Voice participant, feel free to send any of your links in an ideal world website,
link tree, the project you're working on you know any of those links
we can add into the zao community side so would love that would love to just start
increasing this so that we can kind of really get an amazing directory of all the amazing people
in our community doing all the cool things in one spot for other people to share out
cool things in one spot for other people to share out.
Let's go, bro.
Great work, man.
As always, you always cooking, man.
You always doing something.
I'm going to tell y'all, bro.
I'll be chilling and Zal called me out of nowhere.
Yo, I got an idea.
Yo, we're doing this.
Yo, yo, let's talk to this person.
I love fucking Zal, bro.
Whenever I see Zal's name ringing on my phone, I'm like, oh, shit.
Here we go, man. Something's been happening, yo.'m like, oh, shit, here we go, man.
Something's been happening, yo.
So, yeah, definitely big shout out to you, man.
Keep doing what you're doing out here.
I got a question, though, because earlier today, me and Zal were having a debate.
We were having a debate.
I think you know what I'm going to talk about.
We were having a debate.
We were having a debate.
So what do you guys think about billionaires?
So what do you guys think about billionaires?
Like, Zal, first of all, I want you to say your perspective, and then we're going to get Aaron and Candy's perspective on this.
I'm very curious.
Go ahead.
There's no way to accrue a billion dollars of financial value without taking advantage of the humanity of someone else.
Personally, I don't think it's possible for someone to have a billion of resource in this day and age, in this world, for that to be a moral idea. But I will say that some of my super harsh stances against the concept of a
billion dollars has changed in our discussion. So I definitely have moved away from my initial
thesis completely that 100% all the time it's bad in every single case. I just believe that in this day and age,
if you want to accrue a billion dollars and that's your goal, you have to do it in some sort of
way. Okay. Okay. Yeah. Your stance has definitely changed. The reason I bring this up is because
earlier on TikTok, I was perusing the TikTok as I'm doing my daily TikTok posts.
Definitely highly recommend, you know, just being consistent on some kind of posting.
You know what I mean?
Because it actually does bring results.
It actually does bring people to your stuff.
My monthly listeners have been growing just by me finally promoting my music on stuff like TikTok and whatnot.
You know what I'm saying?
So highly, highly recommend. And then number two, I saw Zal. Zal was on a TikTok and he was like,
man, bro, he was just ranting about billionaires. And he was saying how nobody should have a
billion dollars once they get to $999 million.
After that, it's futile.
You know what I'm saying?
And I was essentially explaining to him that never block the blessings that are meant for you.
And I honestly don't think you have to be evil to be a billionaire.
be a billionaire like if you provide so much value to the world that you end up having a billion
dollars i think in the right hands those billion dollars can serve people at a much higher capacity
you know what i'm saying and and go ahead go ahead bro i just want to point out that i believe that
anyone that gets to that point it that's actually doing good won't actually have, like, I guess the
difference is like liquid net worth versus actual net worth, right? And I think that's,
it's a whole other discussion. But I do believe that someone that's got that in mind won't
actually accumulate a billion dollars of wealth just by themselves. They'll be
giving that out to the folks around them and the people that can make a difference. So even if they
do accrue that, to me, a person who does care for how the future of the world is and not their
own ego would be sharing that as opposed to hoarding it i feel that but but yeah that was another that was another
thing we were talking about was like net worth versus like having an actual billion dollars i
don't think anybody on earth has an actual billion dollars like i think everyone has assets or like
it's in some kind of business or it's or it's functioning somehow it's doing something like the money's not just sitting in oh wow wow sitting in some bank account and whatnot but you know that's that's
our opinions so far we'd definitely love to hear you guys's opinions aaron what do you think what
do you think about billionaires what is even money in itself like what, what is your relationship to money? That's pretty complicated. I mean,
that's a very complex question, I think, you know, but I just, I'm going to respond on my
perspective and what is my relationship with money and the way I see money. Um, because I don't, and, and, and
I've read that spiritual people, um, turn out to be like this way. And it's like, like, I wish money
didn't exist because to me, like, I feel I need to give out to the society, but not receive anything back.
You know what I mean?
Because I don't know how, sorry, because I'm lacking language here in English.
But you know what I'm trying to say?
I always feel that I wish I could dedicate myself to music without getting anything in
return, just for the fact that I'm able to heal people, you know, and I'm able to
make someone happy with that, you know. So that's the relationship I have and I wish I could have
with money, but unluckily we live in a society that money is like a dry force, you know,
and you sadly need that to be able to live.
So I don't know if I made a point, but that's-
I care.
No, I love that.
I love that, Aaron.
You're on the money right there.
And I would also like to say my perspective is skewed as well
because I have not had the same challenges with money growing up
my whole life that other folks have had. So by no
means, you know, is my perspective 100% valid. It's just kind of where I come from, from what
I've grown up to see that people with a little bit of money to maintain their lifestyle that
are good people will continue to be good people and accumulate money. And then other folks that
are only interested in money and
not interested in the other things that happen will continue to do that. Right. So I love that
perspective, Aaron, of, you know, if, if it was a perfect world and you could do whatever you want
it, uh, you would just kind of keep making that music for the sake of it. So yeah.
Yo, I have so many things to say about this because I 100 percent was was that on that spiritual like tip of like, man, fuck money.
You know what I'm saying? Like there was definitely a time in my life where I was on that energy and I was like, man, this is evil.
I was into the whole rabbit hole about the Illuminati and, you know, them using money as a means of control, which I still I still definitely know it is.
You know what I mean? It's definitely a means of control and trying to take power over others, et cetera, et cetera.
But as you guys have, you know, detailed, it's like it's a part of our lives now.
It's like it's a part of our lives now. So I was like, OK, because before when I was thinking like this, I always found myself in precarious financial situations.
You know what I'm saying? Like I would be like, damn, like, fuck this money shit.
But I'm trying to make music, but I can't eat, but I might be homeless.
be homeless. So it's like, I don't know, man. But after changing my relationship to money and the
way I thought about it, the way I felt about it, my life has gotten a lot better. You know what I
mean? And that's kind of the energy that I was talking to us all with today. And I realized that
just like food, just like a roof over our heads, just like anything that's an asset that helps us live more in our purpose, money is a gift of abundance.
You know what I'm saying? It's a part of the abundance. It's not all the abundance. It's not the only thing. You know what I'm saying? It's not the only thing that matters and whatnot.
not the only thing that matters and whatnot. But now I see it as sort of a gift from God for doing
one's purpose. You know what I'm saying? For living in one's purpose, it's like the universe,
God, people, whatever, gives you money so that you're able to further live in your purpose in
today's present paradigm of the world. And now that I look at it like that,
I now am way more financially safe, you know what I'm saying, than I was before. But go ahead,
Saul, go ahead. Yeah, I mean, I love that perspective, but it'd be nice if the rest of the world had that perspective, but that's just not the reality of everyone else. Not
everyone's a hurricane, right? Where it's like, while you have found that for you,
other people don't apply that to themselves.
And that's kind of where I come from my thoughts from.
But one of the things I want to touch upon
and in going the positive route of everything you just said is,
and I quickly searched this from my text from my family.
We have a family group chat where we share about what the day of the month is
and what it means.
So I had to search, I think a couple of weeks ago,
was a Shishpung Roj.
And what that means is it signifies both earthly
and spiritual riches or rewards.
And I pinned it up to the top,
but basically what my dad said to me
was the generation of wealth is part
of our ethos as long as it is done honestly and used for charitable purposes spiritual riches
means tuning into our innate wisdom to get a full understanding of the rewards that come with
following the path of righteousness so that's just like my mindset where it's like if you are
on that path like yeah you'll succeed in money.
But I don't think it goes inversely,
that if you are successful in money,
you have achieved spiritual riches.
And that's kind of the point I want to make.
I believe that earthly riches, like at a billion dollars,
like none of those individuals have spiritual riches,
I feel like in the current day and age,
just because of the way the world day and age, just because of
the way the world works and how they use that money. I agree they could use that money for good,
but do they? No. But that's another interesting perspective because it's like, and we're going
to get to Candy's opinion as well because we got to hear from Candy too. But like the other
interesting perspective about it is it's like we kind of
are in a conundrum right because if that's the case if the people that are willing to do anything
for money get the money then they have a lot of influence i'm not saying more influence because i
think spiritual wealth is a whole nother thing that that a lot of people don't even account for
which is absolutely insane because i think spiritual wealth is is a whole nother thing that that a lot of people don't even account for, which is absolutely insane.
Because I think spiritual wealth is a true wealth. You know what I mean?
Because then it doesn't matter where you go. If you are just a loving person, like there's nothing better than that.
You're always going to be taken care of somehow, some way. But that's the side of the point.
I'm talking about. Like these people that are willing to do anything for money and whatnot.
Of course, I think at some point they receive their karma.
But the thing is, if they're the ones doing that and there's no competition and they're the ones that are accumulating all the wealth of and they're the ones that are control, quote unquote, controlling a lot of the physical reality using this.
It's like, is it OK to just like let them do that?
But my question, devil's advocate, the other side is just because other people are committing evil.
Do you think that it's OK to commit evil in the name of good?
It's like, is it does do, do the ends justify the means?
Like that whole concept, right?
I'm not saying to commit evil,
but I'm just saying to disregard like that aspect of life.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, because, because somebody,
it's going to be in somebody's hands.
It's going to be in somebody's hands.
You feel me?
And it's like, it's either in the hands of people
that have their own
motivations and inclinations or if you have motivations and inclinations like what you
would do with money because you know what i'm saying if we if we quote unquote gave a million
dollars to mother teresa like what would she do with that million dollars as opposed to some some uh crazy motherfucker you know what I'm saying but anyways
let's let's say what's up to candy candy yo what are your thoughts on this whole conversation
oh yeah she might be doing something she got musicians in the house all type of stuff
okay I'm sorry I couldn't get the mute button um okay uh yeah so i definitely um agree with what you guys are saying um my perspective on money is
it's definitely um i don't know skewed i guess i don't know. But so my parents always like my real mom and I mean,
obviously my real mom, but my real dad and my mom and then also like my stepdad and mom and
had always fought about money. That's what they fought about all the time. So I always promised
myself that I would never fight about money and that I would always work as hard as I needed to,
to make sure that like I could take care of myself and not fight about money constantly.
And so far I've done a great job at that.
But I also think on that side, though, you know, as in like, you know, it would be great.
Like if we didn't have money, that would be great.
But like, as you said, you know, it's a system and you kind of like you have to have the balance and stuff.
me personally, it motivates me to work and receive, you know, a paycheck or money or whatever, you
know, for my work. It like, it makes me feel better, feel better about myself. And then I just
want to keep doing more work basically. So for me, it's kind of, it motivates me because I feel good when I make money for myself and my family.
But it's not good in the evil way.
So not greed type of good.
I've always said I don't want to be rich.
I want to be financially free, which I believe that's just live within your means and don't be obnoxious.
live within your means. And, you know, don't be obnoxious. And I've always asked myself and just
like always thought like growing up, I was born in 1990. So growing up, I always was like,
thank you. Where is the money? Like there is enough money in the world for there to be no
hunger and no thirst and no like everybody to have the basic human needs.
So where is it? You know, I've always had thought that about that. And as I got older and you get,
you make more money. And then, well, I started working at 15. So then I started making my money
and then I quickly learned, you know, about shopping. So I'm not really a shopper.
I paid for like me and my brother's stuff and like my gas and my car and stuff because my mom
was mostly a single parent. So like that always gave me a good sense of like pride and that. So
as big of a problem as it has been in my life, it's also been a kind of motivator and like a, a good thing, uh, for me
to, I don't know, uh, self-confidence, I guess. But, um, but yeah, definitely though. So I,
I've always asked like, where's the money in the world? And as I've gotten older and I've,
you know, just different, uh, people I've hung out with or, you know, where I've worked, for instance.
Like, OK, so I used to live or I used to work in a very fancy nightclub in meatpacking in New York, in Manhattan, but in the meatpacking district.
And we had very wealthy, very high profile people come in and, you know, serve them celebrities and all that stuff.
And like the one night a person came in and they spent three hundred thousand dollars on champagne.
And it was they the order and the actual money spent was was done in like just a matter of a couple of hours.
And it was like him and like 50 of his closest friends and they spent 300,000.
Like you're thinking, OK, that's literally a whole entire house, you know, and like that's like how many people's incomes.
And then you're like blowing it like crazy.
And then so then whenever you work in a place like that, you kind of get like,
you know, money doesn't really have the same, you just throw numbers around, especially whenever
you're like an employee and you're working for somebody else and you're, you know, you bring
them the check and like tips would get big tips, like $20,000 if they had giant checks like that.
And, um, for instance, like the waitresses,
they would get like snobby about it.
And they would be like, they would even,
a couple of them even tried to like fudge some of those tips that were already five grand,
you know, to make them more.
They got caught with it, whatever.
But like, then they would kind of, you know,
even though they made 10 grand in the nightclub that night for tips, like at one table, then they would still be like bitching about it.
And I don't know, like for me, I think like, like you're saying is all there is no in this case, there's no waitress.
I mean, I was a waitress for 15 until like 20, you know,
seven or eight or 30, I guess. But, um, there's no waitress in the world that is that good that
she deserves a $20,000 tip. You know, like all you did was, was do your job and your job is
basically pretty simple. Like people do it every day for nothing or, you know, little to nothing.
So like, that was one thing that like, I always,
it's like a disproportionate, like, like it's all like we were saying is to
where like, you know, there's no billionaire, you know, without doing,
you know, doing good. And like, or I mean, I get what you mean,
but you know what I mean.
So I think that way too, like in that situation, it's like a smaller example. There's no waitress
that's that good. She deserves a $20,000 tip. So yeah, I agree with what you're saying is all.
I also think that due to inflation and the cost of living and
like whatever you want to call it um the new billionaire is like becoming like the new
millionaire and I actually had a conversation in the airport when I was coming back from Zalchella when I was onboarding a billionaire into Web3.
Well, then we were talking and as we were sitting there talking, we sat next to a billionaire
and he was showing his perspective. And the person, the millionaire that I was just talking to,
talking to, which actually I'd been talking to for like six, seven hours. Um, and he, uh,
which actually I'd been talking to for like six, seven hours,
you could kind of see, like, he was very proud that he was a millionaire because he like looks
wealthy as shit compared, you know, to me. And then when this billionaire was next, it was like,
no, if you're a millionaire, that's like, you know, like it used to be whenever you've made six
figures. So it's, it's gone up. So like, I feel like trillionaire is like, like you were saying
those all this kind to where, yeah, maybe you, you have that much money, but like,
how much good are you doing? So like, um, I don't know. I feel like there, you know, uh,
yeah, I don't know. I feel like, you know, yeah, I don't know.
I feel like the inflation part has a lot to do with it.
But I definitely agree with that. Like, you've got to be doing good.
And I have a little, like, kind of story or whatever on that.
But I'll let you guys let me know what you think about it.
Man, man, you cook, kid.
You cook, yo.
And actually, I got a lot of points to make,
but we definitely got, you know, folks in the room
that we got to say what's up to,
like my G, Tricky Boodastic.
You know what I'm saying?
Back in the cup, man.
They're going crazy.
I've been seeing you all over the place, Tricky.
So, yeah, big props to you, man.
But, yeah, like, real quick on this point before we get to Tricky and get his perspective.
Like, my thing is I don't want anyone to block their own blessings because of their beliefs around money because I did that shit.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, there was a lot of times where I would be like, I'm a very, just like Aaron said, I have that same kind of energy. I like to just,
just if I'm blessed with something, I just want to give, give it, you know what I'm saying? I
don't really care. I didn't used to care if I got paid or whatever. But like I said, it left me in
these like really precarious positions. You know what I like where it was like damn like i can't even
like eat you know what i'm saying it's like which is weird because it's like yo i'm giving away all
this value don't get me wrong i got love like it was definitely love around that i still carry to
this day which i think is invaluable but i I don't think those two are separate.
I think you can still make money and still have love.
You know what I'm saying?
I don't think that it's like something that one should like borrow themselves off from.
And that kind of goes back to Aaron's point.
Like just as we love to give, we have to learn to love to receive as well, whether it's money, whether it's
opportunities, whether it's any of these things. Because I realized that that was the blockage
that I was having in my spirit. I was kind of in an energy where it's like, if somebody was to
offer me stuff other than money, I would say yes. But when people offered me money, I would get this
weird feeling or something. I don't know. I didn't want to take money from them. I don't know what was going on. But like now,
I'm in a completely different energy because I'm realizing like as you acquire money, you're able
to do more and you're able to fulfill your purpose at a higher capacity, especially in the way that
today's world works, et cetera, et cetera. You're able to bring your vision to life and make it more potent and as a result, serve
more people, you know?
So that's really the kind of energy I want folks to kind of take away from this.
Like, just don't block your blessings, yo.
Every piece of whatever it is that comes to you as a result of you giving out of love is good.
There's nothing wrong with that, even if it's money.
You know what I mean?
But let's say what's up to Tricky.
Tricky, what's up, dog?
How you feeling?
What you think about what we talk about?
What you been working on, bro?
Give us the deets, man.
What's up?
It's Tricky Buddha from DeFi Space Donkeys.
What's up, fam? It's Tricky Buddha from Day 5 Space Donkeys. what I said to to match with the song. I was cracking up, bro. Did you hear it already? No, I did not hear it.
I need to see what you
say, man.
It's exactly what I
always say, but it just
sounds fucking hilarious for some
reason. I mean, I laugh every time I hear
it or do it anyway, so maybe I'm a bad
judge, but yeah,
it definitely cracked me up.
Good to see you, Hurricane Candy.
Zal.
The homies.
Hey, guys.
I might be seeing
Jake this week.
I gotta talk to him.
Get some dinner with him or something.
Wait, Jake Croner?
Yeah, the doctor.
Yo, let's go. dinner with him or something. Wait, Jake Croner? Yeah, the doctor.
Yo, let's go.
YG Tricky, you're a crazy-ass networker, bro. That's one thing
about you, dog. I don't know
where you'd be doing this. I don't
know how you'd be doing this. I don't know how many
hours you have in the day. I don't know
if you inherited that technique
from, what's his name,
Hit from Dragon Ball Z
where he's able to slow down time and do shit
while, you know,
other folks have to
live on the regular time.
But yeah, bro, you've been going fucking nuts.
You know when you open a cabinet and something
falls out and lands on the floor?
Yeah, yeah. I don't.
I catch it every time. I don't. I catch it every time.
It never falls.
It never falls more than like six inches.
I'm right there with it.
Yo, that's hilarious, bro.
And it actually makes so much sense.
And now I see where the nunchuck game be coming from because you definitely got to have some some reflexes for that shit.
So, yeah, now it's all making sense.
So you are the real life version of that motherfucker, bro.
You be slowing down time, doing extra shit while we all, you know, operating on regular, regular time patterns.
And I used to be super, like like judgmental about it right like what
the fuck is wrong with all these motherfuckers like what why are they so slow like in just
multiple ways and then i got like chronically ill and i'm like all right i should just shut
the fuck up everyone's got problems all right like so that you can't always be on point touche
okay yo that's hilarious dog but yeah man i'm glad you're using your talents to
the best of your abilities and yeah like i asked you know what i'm saying so so you're working on
the song what else you what else you've been cooking up bro what else you've been cooking
oh they got this uh this leak figured out my house so now i'm on to uh getting the bathroom
remodeled and i'm selling my car this week.
I got a couple offers.
I think I'm going to go cash it in for like $14.5, which is a little bit lower than what I wanted.
But to put that into crypto right now would be clutch.
So, yeah, let's go.
I'll give you my four Priuses after a couple months.
Yo, I was a to say, bro, so you think the market's looking up?
You think something's about to change?
What do you know that we don't know?
Well, okay, so, like, the people in power dropped the ball hardcore.
And I'm expecting, like, a little pull back.
I'm seeing this.
I'm expecting like a little pull, a little pull back.
And then, but also the longer, like we kind of go sideways and, and kind of waffle and
shit and to try to shake people out, the higher, I feel like it's going to rock it when it
does like start to turn, you know, cause once, once it's kind of like the all clear, then
the, these rich people are going to just FOMO into this thing.
Like, Oh, this is where it's going. You know, and we've got like 22 millionaires in America.
Like 50 million millionaires worldwide.
If they all try to buy a Bitcoin,
what do you think happens to the price of Bitcoin?
You know what I mean?
When they're all like, oh, the government's buying Bitcoin.
Well, I guess it's time for us to buy Bitcoin too.
You know what I mean? They're going to jump on it before like all the, the government's buying Bitcoin. Well, guess it's time for us to buy Bitcoin, too. Fuck it.
You know what I mean?
They're going to jump on it before, like, all the governments really eat it all up because that's what they do.
Rich people get it.
The banks get it.
And then they convince the governments to get it to pump their bags.
Like, because it's not really convincing the government.
It's convincing all the other people in the world to pump their bag.
But they got the behind-the-scenes deal.
So, like, that's how it's going to work. And we haven't seen it fly because they don't have their bag but they got the you know behind the scenes deal so like that's how it's gonna work and we haven't seen it fly because they don't have their bag yet simple as that like once they
got their bag it's gonna force it to fly and then it's gonna force people like fomo in and then
you know it's just gonna i think it's gonna be kind of nuts so yeah we're gonna i think i think
it's been like a real delay i was was really expecting that we'd already see some pretty good upward movement by this part of the month.
But I was saying March, April, May.
Like usually April, May is kind of when I was planning on taking profits.
But now I'm looking at like – I'm like, fuck, April is like right there.
So is this going to just be ridiculous real fast? Or is it delayed?
Some people are like, nope, it's over.
We're not going to have a bull run. That was it. We had it.
It's over.
I don't know. I don't really buy that.
Why would the government
and all these people be aping in
or trying to make legislation
to ape in if they're thinking it's going nowhere?
No, no, no.
Yo, I agree. So my thing is this my thing is this the the mere fact that it went to bitcoin went to less than 100 000
is very is very telling bro that that to me is definite like folks trying to fuck with the
charts to make folks think it's nothing going on.
You know what I'm saying?
When in truth, it's like mad stuff going on.
But also, also, I think the phase of crypto that didn't rely on products like that just relied on pure speculation, I think is over.
relied on pure speculation i think is over and i think that's what we're seeing right now right now
And I think that's what we're seeing right now.
we're seeing the the transitionary period from crypto being a straight up casino to now people
actually having to win off great products that utilize crypto you know what i'm saying so like
i agree with you and disagree with you at the same exact
okay talk about it talk about it okay so like you are totally right like that's where
web 3 is like all of our d our dgen asses are going to be like look if we don't support good
shit we're only going to keep eating the same bullshit so stop buying bullshit they'll stop
selling you bullshit but also people love to gamble oh my god do people love to gamble. Oh my god. Do people love to gamble people are dumb
People will spend the craziest money on the stupidest odds
Just because if it pays off big then you know people are dumb
Okay, and they love gambling in the last like couple years
You've seen sports gambling like they've turned over a bunch of laws and like different states
So you can like gamble online and fucking even people who are like only 18
It's like you can only get your game of for 21 and up in certain places
But like if you're 18 you can use this app and it's like not real money
It's basically crypto which you can swap out for real money. So that's
Gambling is such a huge industry and it's not going anywhere
Like people are just dumb but wait but wait boy bro
that's that's what i mean by products because like that is the most effective crypto product
you know what i'm saying right it's the gambling right so it's gonna be crypto gambling instead
of just like mean coins you know but but yeah we're gonna be it'll be actual companies though
not just like some third party.
You have no idea who they are.
They just sprung up.
They've never done this in industry before.
That kind of thing.
Yeah.
Cause this is a weird, this is goofy as fuck.
These whole, like there are people out there who are just hunting these one day runners.
I'm like, what the fuck are you doing?
What's a one day runner?
Like, you know, it's a Ponzi scheme.
It's like by definition, a Ponzi scheme.
Like you're not even, you're not even expecting this you go longer than like a week
Like it's a pump and dump Ponzi scheme 100% not even trying to hide it and they're like, well
I just want to be first and out, you know, it's like
Do you want to understand how math or society works? Like what's the problem here? What's the hang-up?
Why are you guys still doing this?
I don't know.
Yo, yo, yo, yo.
There's so many points to this.
Shout out DeviantExchange, by the way.
Definitely feel free to come up if you'd like to come up.
We talk on Web3.
But yeah, bro. When we talk about gambling, especially in the sense that it's happened today, you're right.
since that has happened today, you're right. People absolutely do love to gamble. But I think
People absolutely do love to gamble.
that the fact that people love to gamble can be used to create a lot of beneficial change in the
world. Now that the, quote unquote, the rails are taken off and whatnot, it's like so much can be
done with that need for people to gamble. It, so much good can be done with that.
You know what I mean?
Like, there's people out here creating charities off of meme coins.
Like, all type of shit.
You know what I mean?
So, I don't think it's a completely bad thing.
And also, I think, you know, the fact that some people's lives are getting changed is also pretty fucking dope.
Like, some people are winning everything.
Of course, there's some people are winning everything of
course there's a people that are losing everything but i don't know man this is a question i want to
ask like let's say somebody comes into the arena they lose everything who is to blame
and ultimately it's the individual right we're adults here um but it it's the individual, right? We're adults here. But it's the wording that they're getting people to pull the trigger to make the purchase to the gamble.
It's the wording that makes them a fucking security or a gamble or a dumb play.
And that's the thing is if you mislead people with the wording, then technically it's criminal at that point.
Then you're just lying to people and stealing their money. Like that's what it is. But okay. So real quick
numbers. Global cryptocurrency is approximately 2.86 trillion. Okay. Global gambling 0.54 trillion.
So like as a percentage of like
When you think about how much more money a lot of it's gonna go into crypto
I feel like the light gambling will be in crypto, but like that is a that is huge
like a half a trillion dollars for gambling like that's just
Yeah, it's not going anywhere right like people will still have their meme coins. They'll still bet on that stupid shit.
It's going to absolutely go to zero.
But you know what they will do?
They'll stick around if we're telling them the whole time, stop.
Don't do the gambling bullshit.
Like, you can do anything with a dollar bill, right?
Like, you can gamble with a dollar bill.
But you can do anything with crypto.
You can gamble with it.
But don't do that.
Just don't. Like, if you have have an addiction you need to get help like if we if we if that's our standpoint right then when they when they do fuck around and find out which there will then they'll
come back and be like you know what you were right tech is good but maybe i should stay away from the
gambling sites you know because if we just say yeah yeah, we're all going to get rich.
We're generational wealth off of one soul. Like they're going to be like, this is all bullshit. I'm out.
You know, and no looking back. Yo, where I see the problem is, is folks trying to circumvent the universal laws.
The problem is, is folks trying to circumvent the universal laws.
That's where I think people come into the most pain.
Like, like, just like what you said, one soul for generational wealth.
It's like, I'm not saying it's not possible, but to to to make that one's primary method.
If it's a secondary, tertiary, you know, some shit that you just haven't fun with,
that's another thing. But if it's like your primary agency to just be like, yo, let me just
try and get something for very little, that's when you fuck with the universal laws. And that's when
you lose. You know what I'm saying like i think as as long as people
stay in tune with nature as in you have to give in order to receive if you want to receive in the
proper way you know what i'm saying like the value you receive is the value that you give
a lot of things will you know be better off but yeah i definitely want to hear what you got to
say what's up it's okay so i'm like there's been like three or four coins that i've helped deploy this last year right and
i normally don't want to like help help with coins but if they're like a community project
they're actually trying to do something with them and i'm like i'm in right so i've gotten in early
on some on a lot of on a lot of tokens this recently that I didn't want to sell because like they were community
tokens, right? So I got in super early, like one or two is full. Went up to like 50 grand.
Then I just get to watch everybody slowly sell as the card comes back. And I could have
just been like, I could have been like in and then out and then, you know, made a lot
of people upset. You know what I mean? But I like, I'm not buying the quick, like, pump and dump shit.
Like, that's just not, that's not what I'm doing.
You know, even if it is a meme coin, if I'm buying it, I'm buying it to hold it for the community.
You know, to like, to see if I, to grow that part.
And, you know, if I see a crazy up go, you know, like boom, and I know there's
a huge pullback, I might take some profits so I can put it back into the chart when it
pulls back. But I'm not like, wait, I'm not writing it. I'm not getting at the bottom,
dumping it at the top and causing this massive fucking slide. Cause if I've got like one
to fucking 25% of a coin, I could easily fuck the chart up, right?
Like, there's a couple charts I could destroy.
Like, if somebody hacked all my wallets and then just dumped everything, this is why I
have over 50 wallets, because I don't want that to happen.
You know what I mean?
Like, every wallet's not going to have more than a 1%, so they can't crash a chart more
than like 5%, 10% right off rip.
You know what I mean?
But even that's too much.
Like that's too much.
If I have 1% and it's a 10 to 1 fucking leverage scenario, I sell my 1% or some scammer rob
steals it and sells 1%, chart drops 10%.
Like that's just, that's how the math works.
So, yeah.
You've got to have your shit in diverse bags just in general, just for extra safety.
But we've got to fix that whole metric.
It should be barely moving when we sell a bag.
You know?
Man, man, man.
You're bringing up some interesting stuff, man. You're bringing up some some interesting stuff man you're bringing up
some interesting stuff but like i don't think there's nothing wrong with taking profit like
it is what it is it's part it's part of the game you know what i'm saying it's just like
like i said you just gotta do it responsibly right you sell on well you sell on upswing
to tamper the upswing not not freak out and sell on the down and then force it down even further, right?
Like, if you take profits responsibly, then you can do it the right way.
But you just got to know that, like, early on in a chart, especially in a meme coin, that thing is going to fly in crazy directions, either up or down.
So, yeah, it's dangerous, man.
Bro, I know too well, man bro i know too well bro i know too well
we're gonna run a couple times how crazy that shit can get you know what i mean but songs
yeah it gets wild fast man but i mean like like like i said if you want to win and this is with
anything in life you also have to be prepared to lose.
So, like, I think anybody that comes in, loses, and then, you know, gets maniacal and gets crazy and all type of shit is like, bro, what are you talking about?
Like, it's part of the game. Like, if you're coming in expecting only wins, that's your flawed logic.
You know what I mean?
So, yeah, I think at the end of the day, it all boils down to this.
But that's the thing also, right?
Like, if you're betting on meme coins and, like, things that are gambles, then, yeah, you know you're going to lose a couple.
And that's, you know, it would be unreasonable to expect wins.
But if you're investing in, like, good people, good ideas, you would expect majority of those to be wins long
term, right? Now it's going to take, you know, between a year and five years for any one of
these businesses to really boom. Like if you're expecting to sell in less than two years with a
with a win on everything, then yeah, that's completely unrealistic, right? Like how long
does it take for a business to succeed? And then even then, normal business, businesses fail.
Half of them fail in two years.
That's just kind of how it is.
My thing, though, with this whole meme coin thing, now that money is floating around like this and moving around like this,
I would just say the meme coins I like to put money in now, even though I don't even be doing that too much anymore is like the ones that are that have some kind of impact you know what i'm saying
that are doing something with that with that money you know what i mean because then like let's say
even if you quote unquote lose it's like it's still going to like some kind of good cause like
the the market that i'm very interested in is good cause gambling that's the best way
that's the best way to put it bro like good cause gambling bro like yeah like so like james has
meme for trees right he he has a couple coins in his ecosystem like six of them right or
eight of them and um and they all kind of work with each other they work in the game
and he's growing trees with like with you know it's like you you buy in you know you're at least
funding trees right you there's already a win there you've already funded trees
i like that yeah exactly because it's like yeah you know you might win a loop but it's like you have the chance to win but like
you're also it's a good card the root is good you know what i'm saying as long as the root
the root of the thing is like is something that's that's positive
shoot let's shoot let's throw the chips on the table you know what i'm saying
did you see the uh Bowl Challenge with Jimmy?
Yeah, I think I did.
Oh, speaking of Jimmy, bro, in my latest, the latest song that I just dropped yesterday,
I shouted out my Jimmy, my G Jimmy, bro.
Like, what he's doing is so inspiring, bro.
It was something about planting trees and seeds and all that
shit but that shit went hard bro i love that right well the world record is like 30 000 trees in a
day by a single person like that's fucking insane i thought i told my wife that like he
plants the tree in my name he got the world record and i told her the number she's just like
what like huh i'm like okay well because if you think planting trees you think like digging a hole put in the tree in the hole
Covering back with dirt and it's like planting mangroves is just like take a stick shove it into the dirt
To the dirt. So it's just like
He's like killing it, you know, it makes it it's a way easier to do a tree that way
That's why he's that's why you plant mangroves because it's like 10 cents to plant a mangrove tree,
and that thing will really actually help the ecology
and the dirt and the water and everything.
It's a good win and an easy pick.
I see we got songs up here now.
What's up, songs?
Songs.
What's up?
Thank you, Treekeeper, for yesterday.
That was awesome.
Good vibes. Good vibes.
Hell yeah, let's go.
Yeah, that was a good space.
I didn't know you were going to show up
because we had a sound check the day before
and you weren't there.
And I was like, okay, is this guy coming?
But there you were, about out of nowhere.
Yeah.
Hard left.
Hard left, straight to the middle.
Yeah, I didn't, I was like,
I didn't catch the sound check thing.
I gotta give you my cell phone number.
I think that's the thing, like,
sending me a DM, it just gets lost.
I found that sound check DM today,
and was just like, what, oh, oh,
that makes sense to do the sound check, smart.
Yeah.
Yeah, it was no biggie, we just, i mean we all do been doing zooms and google
meets before so we know how how to work it he just wanted to make sure yeah everything was
audible and so forth but yeah it was it was fun though good show bit long for me but i was going
out with your friends so i had to till i go to the car run like like crazy, connect to the phone, and do the last part from town.
But yeah, whatever to make it happen.
Yeah, it was great.
It was good to see people, like, you know,
their smiley faces instead of just, like, a couple of voices.
Yeah, it's cool.
It was a nice change.
We've been doing a lot more of these restreams
where we're, like, live on video.
And yeah, I like it. I'm digging it, man. It was a nice change. We've been doing a lot more of these restreams where we're live on video.
Yeah, I like it.
I'm digging it, man.
It kind of reminds me of being on TikTok back in the day.
It gets to see a lot more of my friends.
I just ended a live.
I was doing five platforms,
playing piano for an hour. I had like 500 people almost tuning in.
It was super fun.
TikTok is crazy. And I made
two cents from TikTok. Thank you very much.
You didn't go on Arena?
Does it work? I can do the stages of course but I live stream so I'm
waiting to get up I want to be approved to abstract I'm kind of waiting for that
gotcha got yeah I guess like 20,000 people applying so it's so I think that
like I can send you a referral link but there's probably one of my bio to know
that I'll just send you a referral link to arena and I'll buy your ticket but you can have tickets over there it's kind of like a meme coin
but there's a very like generous like tipping culture over there for like you know yeah yeah
i know arena i have a i have a seven or eight uh ticket holders but i thought you meant like
going live with camera because they were talking about
Implementing that right. Yeah, you're not on camera. It's just audio but that would still be good though like to have that as one of your streams just audio and then you don't have to bring anybody up on stage
just be like, you know, welcome to my concert and you know and
You I mean you could even just leave it So it's only ticket holders that can join that would force people just to buy tickets, let alone tip.
That's how you know you're not going to only going to be letting in people that were like are generous enough to buy your ticket or tip.
If you do it that way, that's for sure. Versus like just having people stop in.
But I mean, having people just stop in is also good for, you know, sharing the space and whatnot.
So, yeah. Now, now also you can actually it's a new feature on YouTube. having people just stop in is also good for you know sharing the space and whatnot so yeah oh now
now also uh you can actually it's a new feature on youtube you can actually add ad uh ad breaks
on the live so if you set it up prior to the stream you can have like an ad break basically
like on the long-form content which is i haven't tried it out yet but it's uh they launched it like a few weeks ago
yo that's crazy bro crazy alpha and you can go and take a pee but there's an ad break right
okay my thing though is like what if you know it's supposed to be an ad break you peeing and
then it comes back and you know you you just walking around shlong all dangling
and shit folks like oh and then you know the twitch they take your shit down and now you
fucking in a lawsuit i'm just playing now let me chill i'm here so i'm like it's there it's a
raining over there what the fuck is on it i just call that i just call that bonus content
thanks bro thanks man just make sure you you're on the right platform, bro.
Twitch be strict with it, bro.
You're strict.
Yeah, you might have to have, like, the only camera.
You have to have your camera set up just right.
So, like, you know, the top camera is, like, your Twitch.
The middle one is, like, the Instagram.
And then it's, like, TikTok.
And then the OnlyFans is the one on the bottom, just for angle
purposes.
What's the Leslie Nielsen movie where
he forgets to take off the
mic?
He's having a speech.
He's having a speech?
What do you mean?
Yeah, it's like having a speech,
and then he forgets to turn off
the mic, and he goes and
take a leak and you can oh yeah and there we go again right you just hear a pee and then the mic
mutes and then he gives a whole speech just bro then he stops and like yeah oh and then it continues
to pee the funny part about that whole thing is, I would fuck with that person more than the quote unquote prim and polished person.
You know what I'm saying?
Like the person that's like unfiltered, bro.
I fuck with those kind of people more than people that's like always, you know, everything got to be perfect.
You know what I'm saying?
If that makes sense.
Like, so if that ever happened to me, I would even trip, dog.
I would just be like, hey, man.
It is what it is, dog.
That's funny.
Yeah.
But yeah, bro.
Definitely appreciate the alpha.
Appreciate everything that you did on that end.
Shout out to you for making this super song, super songs of Eden.
If y'all don't know about it, definitely check up top.
He got my G.
He got my G. Hold up. Let me wait for these
big-ass trucks.
He got my G Tricky Budastic on that thing.
You know what I'm saying? So, yeah.
Big shout-out to you, bro.
I played it in the
VFriends. Damn tricky.
You made people know your
catchphrase. I played it in the
VFriends. I was like, oh, that's tricky.
Let's go.
Yeah.
Yeah, they love me over there.
It's great.
I'm like, I mean, I feel like most of the shit that I'm saying is very much like what Gary,
I'm like a cuter, less successful Gary V, you know?
So, like, these are my people.
They'll like me if they figure out what I'm about.
There was one guy who was doing my intro in the car on the way to work.
And he's like, yeah, man, definitely cheering me up.
Definitely cracks me up, puts me in a good mood.
Got people waking up, and that's the first thing they say in the morning.
I'm like, what the fuck is wrong with you guys?
Yo, yo, what is the origin story of Izjirgy Muda?
How did this come about, bro what where did it come from hell yeah let's go um so so I was going through like
my surgeries like when my Crohn's really hit hard I couldn't like do fuck all I was so useless I
pretty much just gave up on life and I was like well fuck dude I'm just fucking useless I'm gonna
get my knee surgeries done like double knee surgery on both legs.
I got my cadaver tendons on both quads, you know, so I'm like three people now.
And then I also did like a fulcrums osteotomy where they cut the shin bone out, they rotate
it, move it over and down and just screw it in place to line the tendon up across your
patella so I wouldn't dislocate my knees anymore because I dislocated them like 30 times.
So anyway, so I get my surgeries. I'm healing up at home watching like video games and like
movies and stuff, but I'm playing Call of Duty at one point and the mic goes live whenever you die,
right? And then people will just be toxic, right? Especially if you're good. I'm getting cussed out
like 30 times a game, right? Like it's ridiculous. So I start telling jokes like just having a joke ready to go whenever like my buddy would
die or I would die or something happened like I would always just blurt out a joke.
So I always had this like something funny kind of stuck in my head like, oh, I'm about
to drop this banger of a joke.
I can't wait to hear what they're going to, you know, this next your mom joke is going
to be hilarious.
Right?
And then one day I, at the same time I, I started to do the DeFi Space Donkeys project for a friend of mine who wanted to make just art NFTs.
I came up with the DeFi Space Donkeys name because Space Donkeys is addicts, so DeFi Space Donkeys are addicted to the blockchain, right?
This is the blockchain, right?
And he decides not to pay.
So I decided that I'm going to kind of make a DeFi space donkey mean lover of crypto and NFTs and kind of like take over, like immediately CTO the whole thing, right?
So I'm like, all right, one of these NFTs is an hour of my time.
I'm the utility.
It's a membership to the club.
And a DeFi space donkey is a lover of crypto and NFTs.
But nobody knows what that is.
So I got to get it out there somehow.
And I'm playing a video game the next day and I die and I just go, DeFi space donkeys.
And my friends are like, what the fuck was that?
And everyone's laughing and I'm like, well, shit, I laughed, they laughed.
It did the same as a joke and I need to get this thing out there. so I'm going to just keep saying it until everybody knows what it fucking means.
And here we are, four years later.
Yo, that is tough, bro.
Holy shit, I can't, is this the first time you told this story?
No, I tell this story a lot.
I just, I love this time you told this story no i tell the story a lot i just i love
this i love the story um but like yeah it's like it was like a positivity hack and that's when i
realized like oh i gotta get on social media and explain this shit because it's like after doing
it for a while it like rewired my brain i was way more positive just having this like happy stupid
thought in my head right so i was like was like, this is a hack, man.
I got to explain this shit.
So that's when I started to get in on all social medias and just being like this positive
hitting chronic illness advocate.
And it just all kind of happened at the same time, which was really good because could
you imagine a Web3 founder that wasn't on social media?
Right?
Like that wouldn't make any sense.
So it really worked out like all these things kind
of coming together at the same time you know if I hadn't been like chronically ill and needed
surgery and gotten fucked over and had made this project for this guy as an advisor you know it was
all these things that kind of just happened all at once and and then you know and now I couldn't
like I couldn't go into spaces and and do my normal shit without kind of making me laugh a little bit.
I had to kind of like – it kind of like – it primes the pump.
It's like it can be nervous and anxiety provoking speaking on stage or just being on camera or whatever.
But it was just such a way of resetting myself playing the game.
I was just like, fuck, fuck i'm gonna use this hack every
chance i get so yeah before i speak anywhere it's like reset the brain defy space donkeys
yo yo yo yo that's so inspirational bro
talk about commitment to the joke, though. For real. Who keeps the joke going for four years?
You know what?
No, I can't stop it.
That's what you don't do, bro.
That's brand, bro.
That's brand building, bro.
Like, that's fire, man.
Yeah.
It's a journal.
Man, I'll give you the phone.
Yo, we got easy.
What's up, guy?
Yeah, if everybody in this space, if you don't got a theme song or a
theme thing by now after hearing this story bro like what is he doing bro i expect to hear
something from everybody by tomorrow that's y'all's homework tomorrow's space we need everybody
to come in with a new catchphrase right you know what i'm saying you had an intro catchphrase what would it be i if there's a couple people who've come into this space like in the last year and
they like they basically do my intro but it's their version of it you know like it doesn't say
but like uh it's alicia from hostile crypto hogs like she like alicia does it uh there's a couple
friends that like have their own their own version of an intro now and it's just uh it's hilarious i love it though it's like
you got to be able to get out of your head and having something that is gonna like put a smile
on your face before you start talking or doing it and doing any kind of job it's like i think smart
you know get pumped up and enjoy what you're doing or you're doing it wrong. Turn up the silly.
That's what I'm saying, bro.
I remember yours, bro.
Even from the first time you said it, man.
So, yeah, definitely agree.
Highly effective.
Did you feel me?
So, yeah.
I'm like, this is my superpower.
I can type in my intro and make someone smile from across the world by putting some text on social media.
Like, that's a fucking superpower right there.
What's up, Trey?
Good to see you, bud.
Trey Dizzy was good with you.
It's Trey Dizzle.
I don't have anything else.
Sorry.
I still heard it.
From planet Earth.
Let's go with follow me if you want to get really lost.
Wait, wait, wait.
I just realized I'd be helping y'all out, bro.
I'd be giving all the new folks, bro.
I'd be always saying some shit, bro.
Like Trey Dizzy.
You know what I'm saying?
And we got super songs of Eden, bro.
Like, yo, y'all got to use me as a resource.
You feel me?
Yeah, he's creating the intro for you every time you show up.
I love it.
Well, that's the great thing is if I show up a couple times,
people just start thinking, like, I'm going to do an intro.
Even if it's just like a goof as a joke for that one time,
you know, like it's pretty hard to not, at least eventually you will get to that point.
Like, maybe I should just try to do his intro.
Like, there's not too many people that I've known for more than like six months that haven't tried to do my intro at one point.
I remember someone thinking it was recorded.
Like, what?
Are you actually saying it?
I thought it was like he pressed play or play on something.
I love to still fuck with people because they'll be like, is that really you?
Or you got like a voice modulator or something like that?
Like, what is that?
Is that really you?
And I'll be like, no, actually it's not.
For $10, you can go on Fiverr and get one of those buttons.
Like you would program it, say, treat.
And then your dog will hit it, treat.
Or like, out.
You know, so you can talk to your animals.
So you get one of those buttons.
And for like $10, you send it to the guy on Fiverr.
And he'll record anything you want.
So I just got a button.
So I just say my first button.
I just say, it's Tricky Buddha.
And then I hit the button.
From DeFi, DeFi, D, D, DeFi DT DeFi space DeFi space donkeys it
makes it a lot easier just to have that button and then I do that and they go oh
okay well that makes sense like a nope zombie motherfucker
