Full Transcription
Now here's a little story I got to tell about three bad brothers you know so well.
It started way back in history with that rock, me, my cousin. My cousin's name's Paul Ruffio.
Just me and Mom with the inner court of beer, right from the land, kicking up stairs,
there's scratches on my. What's up? D C I P. All by myself, got nobody.
The sun is beating down on my baseball. The air is getting hot.
Looking for a girl, I ran into a guy. He said Miss M C A. I said Howie. He said Hot.
Oh. He told a little story that sounded very hurt. Footed on the run and then he's dying of thirst.
The fruit was in my hand and he was on my tip. His voice starts to break. I asked for respect
and he said Can I just come? I said You can't get us. I had to get the gun
and I pulled out a shotgun. Put it on the drawer. I thought I'd be dead. He put the gun in my hand.
He's bloody. He was empty. He had a license to kill. I freaking know what kind.
It's time to get ill. I'm with the way of death and I'm in his jail. I wouldn't play with this.
He killed himself. We stepped into the wind. He had a gun
and had a grin. He said The story's over but it's ready to begin.
got the blues, you got the blues. You got two choices of what dudes can do.
It's hard to believe that you can see how can boys move. Still ride with you if you can get me
to the border. They stare us after me for what I did to his daughter. I did it like this,
I did it like that, I did it with the whiffle ball bat. So I lost the match, the cops got my guns,
and right about now it's time to ask the fonz, sticking that rock. Name and I stole the spotlight.
The dance is jammed to attention. We rolled for six hours, then we hit the spot.
The beat was booming, and the girls were hot. This dude was staring like he knows who we are.
We sat the empty shot next to him at the bar. Hey, you know who you know? This kid. I said I'm here,
but I know he's here. Get ready, 'cause this ain't funny. My name's Mike D,
and I'm about to get funny. Full thousand enemies, aiming down the sky. We out to the moon
and let's do fly. Hands went up and people hit the floor. He winked at two kids. I'm mighty
and I get respect. The fast and the jewelry is what I expect. MCA was with it and he's my ace.
So I grabbed Seattle player and I punched him in the face. Seattle player out, the music stops.
This boy had pace and he got dropped.
I grabbed the money, MCA's that's the goal. I grabbed jewelry, gonna be a bad
day.
Hey everybody, looking for something else to play, and then I might play another one after that,
depending on what it is and how long it takes and how many people come in.
But hope everybody's having a great Thursday. Yesterday was amazing. I got to meet some people
from the the Twitter space, which was awesome. Great people. Had a good lunch together, three of us,
and talked a whole bunch of shop and life and fellowship and all the good things. So, yeah,
I hope we get some more people to come in. I'd like to see some more people,
maybe some people I don't know today. But who knows? Maybe I get to connect with somebody else new.
That'd be awesome. So. I'm going to just put this on. What boot delivered in a box? Yeah,
we do that too. Tractor Supply. We go beyond the box. Low prices every day. We'll say shout out to
Tractor Supply. I'm not getting paid for any Tractor Supply things, but I do like a Tractor Supply
and tractor things and farm things and all of that. So yeah, that's some kind of insurance
or sales commercial. We're gonna skip it. So here we go. Have no idea what this will actually play,
but it's a Grateful Dead show. Seven twenty eight, nineteen eighty two in Morrison, Colorado,
which would be like probably Red Rocks. Yeah, I've never got to go to Red Rocks,
but I hear that it's amazing. So, anybody's been to Red Rocks, say something. Tell me.
Say something. Got a little shake down street.
I'll see you later. Take the streets. Just gotta follow the rhythm. Just gotta
follow
the rhythm. I trust
you because you instill every day. It feels too much too fast. It feels too much too fast.
Too much too fast. Too much too fast. So keep it coming. Let's shake it,
shake that thing. Just be on the channel. My little baby, he just got a little
corona.
Oh. Just your way of staying. Can't
let go, so stay. I
recall your darkness falling down.
Don't tell me this is love. Don't tell me this is love. Don't tell me this is love.
Lame. That's lame. I see you, Jimmy Bones. I'm just playing some dead right now, uh,
and letting the full show roll to see who all comes in today. So. You hadn't missed anything yet.
I appreciate you coming in. Assume you're probably at work, but if you are, then be careful.
And hopefully, you can enjoy a couple of tunes here for a little bit while you work.
Nobody comes in to chat, then it'll be some uninterrupted,
good old Grateful Dead live at Red Rocks from 1982. So appreciate you, homie.
Just gotta look around. Just gotta look around. Don't you ever change your look?
You can be
the heart of town. Don't you ever change your look? Just gotta look around. Don't you ever
change your look? You can be the heart of town. I'm just shaking, oh shaking.
Just gotta walk a mile. Never been scared to take a fall. Just gotta walk a mile.
Never been scared to take a fall. Just gotta walk a mile.
Never been scared to take a fall. Just gotta walk a mile.
One.
you gone?
Hey.
I'm gonna shake, I'm gonna shake as the beat drops. It used to be the home of love.
But we're killing this feeling, got my heart jumping off. Just gonna fuck around.

Hey, autopsy. I see you, buddy. I haven't chatted with you in a while.
I don't know if you're working or what, but I appreciate you coming in. If you got time
and nobody's in here and you want chit chat, then feel free to throw a mic, whatever. If not,
then I'll probably just keep fooling with some stuff and playing these tunes and.
Maybe I'll roll to something else here in a bit, but it's like a three hour show, so I don't.
I probably won't play all three hours of this show, and hopefully we don't have an empty room
for three hours. I don't know that I'll run space for three hours if you guys are the only ones in,
but who knows? I might. This might get good. It might be a good show. Jimmy might get off work.
You know, he may get six beers deep, and maybe. Couple grams of shrooms or something—I don't know,
man. But I hope everybody's having a good week, Mama. Just I see you just popped in. Welcome,
welcome. I hope everything's going all right. I'm sure you guys are busy as heck around your part
of the world. There's a lot going on. So right now, just been chilling and playing music.
Kind of some crowd noise between songs. That was—I don't know, Jimmy—about 12,
13 minutes of one song. Gotta love the good old days, man. I like the artwork on the posters.
It gives me a lot of inspiration for making stuff for events or different projects
or something like that. So I I create a lot of things that are based off of that type of artwork.
And yeah, man, I think it'd be cool to make more stuff for people in the future.
But let's see what they'll come out. The best thing about the Dead is you never know what
the next song's gonna be. It's like every single show.
How do you go show after show for decades and never play the same set? It's just awesome.
Shout out to you, working
motherfuckers! Get on down, get on down. Used to know to wait it, but the station broke
and the train pulls on back, back. Now I'm going back where I belong. This ain't no old song,
it's my favorite used to be. Now it's your night, it's your night.
You said goodbye, cold, cold. You said goodbye, cold, cold. You said goodbye, oh.
Let there be no doubt that none of these guys are very good at singing or vocalizing
or harmonizing or any of that. But man, they can all play, and they got some great lyrics.
It's a long night. We're close to the end of the chase, and this round got stuck.
I keep on trying to find you, but we never meet. And this is where I'm gonna make my heaven.
I shoulda had it all. I shoulda had it all.
I shoulda had it all. I shoulda had it all. I shoulda had it
all. I shoulda
had it all. I shoulda had it all. I shoulda had it all.
One of the many Grateful Dead Bible songs right here. You can't please me.
I don't need to be lied to. You can't make me dance. You can't make me dance.
You can't make me dance. You can't make me dance. You can't make me dance.
We can come in with no doors. So get your hands and close the door. We stand up and face the day.
So you can close the door and close it. Standing by, standing by. We can survive,
we can survive. What you come for? Let it go. We need some rules in the house.
Let it go. You are a
witch.
I was at lunch with Quack yesterday, Misty from Quack, and. She lives up in the Humboldt County
area, the Emerald Triangle up there somewhere, and she's she's fairly young.
But most of the community up there is all these old, the old hippies that went up there from
the Bay Area. They moved up into like the Redwood Forests out there up north
and started their their community and what's become the Emerald Triangle now and.
She said that like those people are getting to be about in their seventies and eighties now,
and all the people that established all that and grew all those weed farms
and lived off grid in the woods and all these things and you know handmade items that
they bartered for back and forth with each other and gardens and feeding each other
and all that stuff. And she said those people are getting to be in their seventies and eighties now,
and their kids want nothing to do with that life or that property or anything they built out there.
So like all that stuff starting to kind of fall to the wayside with the The generation behind them
that doesn't really want that stuff, which is just crazy to me, because like I wasn't around,
or and I definitely wasn't out on the West Coast when all that was established.
But I spent some time in my young days out there in the Bay Area, and I've been down
on Hayden Ashbury, where the Grateful Dead, like all that hippie movement, kind of started,
and the acid tests and all the things happened there. And you know, after the war and all that,
they. They all were like, "Nah, we're getting out of the city and we're going up to the woods
and we're going to build a community up here and it's going to be awesome.
" And they've been doing it for decades now, and they've really got a they've got a great thing
happening up there, I think. And yeah, it'll be a shame if those kids don't don't don't take it up.
It's awesome to see somebody like Quack be so young and be so passionate
about wanting to try to keep those things going. And she seemed to. She indicated there seems to be
a lot of opportunity for property and established businesses and things that are already built out
there because, like I said, the their kids behind them don't really want it. So
unless some some other younger generation comes in and enjoys that kind of thing,
then you know who knows what's going to happen to it. But yeah, it's it's cool.
It's That was an amazing chat with her and K Mac yesterday. Those are two wonderful people,
in my opinion, and they're all over the space and they're always spreading the good vibes
and they're always trying to build things and gather people together. And it's just anybody
that knows me knows that's how I roll and the things I want to do in Web three
and I want to go around the country and around the world and meet everybody that we interact with
online and how can we help each other and how can we you know just hang out and have a good time
and like. Don't matter the the chain. It don't even matter if you're not into crypto.
If you're in Twitter Spaces and you find a space you enjoy listening to things and whatnot,
then you know those are people you can make connections with and you can you can look forward
to trying to meet in the future. And I don't know if it's just me because that's the lifestyle
I'm looking for, but I seem to be seeing more and more people that kind of thirst
for the same things these days. So. It's pretty exciting. I'm bullish, Mister. I see, buddy.
I'm I'm just playing some music, and I kind of cut in so I could chat over the ads that
we're probably gonna run. And it's Grateful Dead. It's a live show from 1982, so it's like.
Three hours of just them playing their music, so I wasn't really doing much.
Not a whole lot of people have come in. The ones that are here, legends,
and probably busy at work doing something. And so, you're more than welcome to come up,
or you're more than welcome to sit and enjoy or whatever. And I hope you like Grateful Dead. If not,
then maybe you become a fan. If you don't know any of their music, so yeah,
I try to turn people on to new things. So,
I'll go back to it here. Like I said, just request a mic if anybody wants to come up.
Dude,
guess how much it cost me to make sure my family gets a million bucks if something ever happens.
Too good. These are the Brett. These are the Brett Medlin years, and man, he was good. Piano,
keyboards. They had a hard time keeping keyboardists.
All them sons of bitches just kept dumping on us. This guy brought the heat, for sure.
But y'all know about trading tapes. That's what I want to know.
I'm a big old fool. It's not the country. Better not be there.
So much that I messed up. Better change music. Oh no, it's just gotta try to see a little
better. Oh, you can
see.
You can
see.
You can see. You can
see.
First set's always like ten single songs that are fairly long, most of them.
That second set's like three or four songs. The whole second set. Everybody,
it's been a long fucking time. Bobby,
we just lost Bobby not too long ago. We're singing. Oh, with the
most of my blood, I can dream of growing up. There's my anthem right here. Retraining the sound,
I don't know where I'm bound. I can still ride it on the track. Wasn't the only real child
of a family we can laugh. Wanna see? You know what it's all about. All the sunbelt earnings go back
to John Dunning. To mom who only brings home. In 2130, I'm back without a roar.
I can still ride it on the track. On the track, it makes me better, but it's bleeding my heart.
You know what I mean? You know it's my own job. I turned 41 in prison, and now that I think of that,
today is my 13-year alcohol sobriety day. So, shout out to me for that.
I don't care what anybody else says. Okay, that's a long-ass time. This is the longest stretch
of time in my entire life that I've been without alcohol since birth. So that's pretty good. For me,
especially if you knew the dude that used to drink alcohol. So in my later days,
that guy was a mess. So you guys, fortunately for you, most of you never got to meet that guy.
So he was a little, a lot of fun sometimes, and earlier on. But in the later days,
he was not a very good guy, and not nice to people, and fell down a lot, damaged his body,
and got arrested, and all kinds of things. So yeah, yeah. Good riddance to him. Shout out to myself,
and yeah, shout out to you guys. I love the shit out of you. I'm glad you're here.
I hope life treats you well for the rest of your days. That's for sure.
I see simple finally tightened up and came in. Mama been in and out five, six times.
Just I found out it's some good alpha for the algorithm, by the way. So every time you fall out,
mama come back in. It's like a new person came back in. So that's kind of cool.
Lots of interaction right there, but simple. I hope you're having a good day.
I don't know if you're driving around town or if you're fighting with workers or homeowners
or if you're flying drones around or if you're kicking it on the couch or whatever. But so far,
I've just been playing this Grateful Dead concert off of YouTube and chit-chatting. Jimmy's at work,
probably milling and listening to some Dead, which is awesome. It was kind of funny.
I was already playing it when he came in. It was like, hey man, I got you some music going, so.
It's not the most amazing tracks ever, but it's live shit and it's recorded direct
from the soundboard back in the '80s. Which I don't know if you guys know about trading tapes,
but that shit. We'll talk about that sometime. I got boxes of them and CDs
and all kinds of stuff from live shows,
and I've been interacting online for a long time, my friends, a long time.
So what I'm gonna do is gotta go into Evo, go down to Mexico, start walking right now, my sad ass.
In the windowsill, when the devil wants to take it away,
just one thought to keep tight the fire. Making it all mine today.
We're saving all your stolen energy,
and she was fresh in town. And in the windowsill, I'm ready for hell.
Trying to get
you.
Shit's almost as good as James. Simple. I'm sitting here looking at your shirt.
I put the front graphic on it. It's cool, but it didn't come out quite like I wish it would have.
So let's see what I can do about it. And Mama, I have the art done for yours, and it's printed out.
I just gotta get it all cut loose. And hers is gonna be the hardest. She decided she wanted
a black shirt, so that'll be cool to try to do my process on a black shirt versus the white shirts.
So. That was coming, so I'm actually gonna practice a little thing on some other colored charts
to see how the process works before I do anything with your black charts. But yeah, I got
and I got Fuses' art made up and printed out, so. Yeah, hopefully their stuff comes out good,
and I'll see what I can do about yours. Simple, and if I have to, I'll redo it and do another one.
I don't know if I didn't put enough spray or if I didn't hold the thing on long enough.
It all came out good, but it kind of looks a little bit blurry and a little bit
like it's already a faded shirt. So I feel like I didn't leave the heat on long enough, maybe.
So we'll see. I'll. I got some other things to put on it. I think it's for you at least
around your place. Be a wearable shirt, but probably not what I want to send for you to wear around
the event. So I'll see if I can get another one, not go all day fucking up shirts. So it actually,
I'll get an image of it here in a minute, and I'll send it to you.
It actually doesn't look terrible, but it does just doesn't pop with the color like I really thought
it should or whatever. So I'm gonna see. I've got a QR made up to put on the sleeve,
and then I've got a big state melting graphic to put on the between the shoulder blades on the back,
and then the big graphic on the front. And Fuse's shirt will be similar, but it'd be his PFP.
It'd be I did it's that Jon Snow one version of that one that's up top.
His PFP that he wears in Discord. So it's that, and then stay Melty for the back
and a QR for the sleeve. And then almost just got a thing for the front and a thing for the back.
So hopefully theirs turn out good. I don't have any issues, and they just look amazing
and wonderful. And then I can. Finish this one off at least as a good shirt for you to wear around,
and then I can hopefully figure out what happened and make your next one and make another one
or whatever, and it'll be better. And hopefully I can get a few out. I I tapped into a lead
for trying to get my way to Vegas. A buddy of mine that's got me working on some shirts for him,
or not shirts, but the design for some future shirts and stickers and things.
He's actually my ex brother in law, and he plays in a band. And he started playing some venues,
and he wants some stuff made up. So I've got some artwork for him, and he's like pretty well off.
And he, when I used to be married, and he was still married, we're both divorced to these sisters
that we used to be married to. And now, now we're talking in the background.
The sisters would probably lose their minds if they knew we were hanging out behind their backs
or whatever. But Yeah, he's. When I last saw him, I and got it was about time I was getting into
Web three, and he like works from home. He's like a process manager, so everything he does
is online. He works for a company out of Colorado or something, and every once in a while
has to go out there for like a team meeting in person or something. But the rest of what
he does is online. He gets paid good money, and he had some investments in the crypto back then,
back in 23, and or he had them before I started talking to him about it. And I was huge Cardano guy,
and you know I knew about some Bitcoin things, and that was about it. And he was like, "Man,
you don't like Solana?" And I'm like, "Man, fuck Solana!" It was awesome. And I was like, "No, dog,
that's all hype and bullshit and blah blah blah blah." And I'm like, "Cardano's
where the real builders are and the real community and this that and the other.
" And I was feeding him all my pitch about it. And yeah, so we were just recently touched base
about his band and me doing some design work for him. And I was like, "Yeah, just so you know.
" I got some Solana friends now, and I work with a project, and we're going to Solana,
and blah blah blah. So, if you still hold some Solana and you're looking for a place to put it,
then just holler at me, bud. And but I was going to try to get him to drive us out to Vegas
because he's one of those guys that could just be like, "Yeah, I'll take off and go out to Vegas.
" And yeah, he's like, "Nah, I got some girl coming in from out of town next week,
so I'm out on that." So. I'm gonna. I got one or two more options that I can try to figure out,
and other than that, I don't know what the fuck I'm gonna do. So, anyway,
I'm gonna play some more of this. Simple. If you get unbusy and you want to come up,
then feel most free and stuff. Autopsy, like I said, man, brother, it'd be amazing to hear from you.
I ain't heard from you in a long minute, but. I do hope you're well. I think about you a lot.
I definitely. I was showing Quack. I made I made Lou a cup for the moons and a tumbler mug for Debt.
And I was showing Quack and came back that stuff yesterday. And she was like, "Ooh,
I like how that eye came out on the cup." So. Yeah, man. More things to come for the deaf fan.
I love the shit out of you guys, and that token is amazing. And it's one of those things where,
like, some real people can be holding that thing and and determining what happens with it,
and some real possibilities can come out of that. So, shout out to you for holding it down on that
and holding it down in here and holding it down and whatever you're doing, brother.
I appreciate you, man. Everybody in here, I appreciate it. You know that. Look,
the song just ended right whenever I turned it back up.
That's the part where you guys all clap for that bullshit I've just said and blah blah blah. So,
if you guys haven't seen K Max' new video, he's wearing a a Cryptokey homie shirt that is
pretty dope. And him and Nomi are going to do some cool stuff together with podcasts,
and I'd love to see them get into some multimedia gathering and that kind of thing.
Us all build together. We do love that. We love ha Nomi and me and Simple been knowing him
a long time, so. It's awesome to see those guys build together. K Mac is one of a kind, man.
You can't beat these Oki people. They're just some of the best folks out there.
That's all I'm gonna say about that. Let's see if we can. Get a little farther.
Sorry for the bullshit audio. Definitely not a professional when it comes to sound. Hey,
what I'm gonna do? I'll switch it up. This be more for Jimmy. Five, let's see. Five seven
seventy seven, Boston, Massachusetts. Got to, got to show some love to my northeast folks.
Plus, the image has turtles on it and a skeleton, little Jimmy Bones.
God. These are the Donna days and girl
thing.
The way back to. Swallow your
dreams.
That's why I need to be. I need to be. I need to be. I need to be. I need to be. I need to be.
I need to be. I need to be. I need to be. I need to be. I need to be. I need to be. I need to be.
I need to be. I need to be. I need to be.
I need to be. I need to be. I need to be. I need to be. I need to
be. I need to be. I need to be.

Smiling.
Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go.

Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go.
I see fuses and drinks made it in. Appreciate you guys. I haven't really done anything
but play Grateful Dead concert music live off YouTube, so or I guess old recorded live.
But you guys are more than welcome to come up. I could chat about any number of things in the world.
So if anybody gets time, then pull up and chat, or throw throw a hand up for a mic or whatever.
And I see drinks requested. I see, simple requested. Nice. I have other people talking besides me
and the Grateful Dead. So, and ads, which is kind of cool. Probably anybody
else out there listening might like that. Yeah, yeah. What's up, fellas? How you guys doing?
I just wanted to hear about your trip, man. I saw the photos of the suburban going down,
and your son having to come pick you up, and all of that. But got to see, missed it.
Got to see what K Mac hang out with some fine folks. How was that? That was amazing.
That was probably like if you thought it would be cool to meet her, him,
or both of them at the same time, it was like ten times that probably, or whatever.
It was everything and more. It was it was pretty cool. They're They're the people
they appear to be in person, as they are online. So, yeah, it was it's super cool
to get to interact with people like that. You know, I'm all about the the being out here
in Web three and meeting people online, and then venturing out to be able to meet each other
in person. I see a lot of other people meeting each other in person these days. Like
when I first started in crypto, man, you didn't see people's face. Like you were lucky to get
anybody's name. You definitely didn't see selfies or anything like that.
And I rolled into Twitter like it was Facebook, man. And I was just like, "Here's my face.
Here's what I do. Here's where I live." Blah blah blah. And so it was, it was kind of weird. And now
that I've been around for a few years, I see more and more and more of it.
And I don't know if it's just like that's how the algorithm's working, or there's actually more
and more people that feel like, "Hey, man." You know, I'm out here every day.
I want people know who I am, and I want to meet some of these people. And you know,
you build some real relationships. And we talked a lot of shop, but then you know,
we just talked about life in general, and you know, some of what we do for a living
and what we have done for a living, and different things. And so it was.
I think we were at Chipotle's for two, maybe three hours, something like that, sitting there.
And it was like, man, when we were done, it was like, damn, let's get this selfie,
and everybody goes on their way, and it was like. Felt like we should have spent three, four, five,
six more hours together. You know, the whole rest of the evening or whatever. So,
definitely would like to. KMac's super close to me, and he passes right by
where I'm at all the time. So, once him and Nomi really get rolling, I'd love to have
where like we talked about coming over and sit on the porch, and you hear the chimes, and me
and him both would be live and streaming and whatever. So, I'll probably try to keep touching base
with him. And of course, we love Nomi and been running around with him forever, and.
He's a big reason why I host spaces. He's definitely a big reason why we're on Solana, or you know,
have all these Solana friends. And and Nomi's Nomi's another one of those guys. Man,
he's on my list of people when I get when I get down Simple's Way to see him and Mama.
Then Nomi's on that list, and I got a couple other friends down in the Florida area that
I've been knowing for a really long time, and some really good people that I think would be
really cool to hang out with in person. So we definitely brought you up drinks,
and me trying to get. Like out there and see you and Rankin, and then see Quack
and and get up into Washington. I got some other friends up that way, so yeah, man.
I got when this Suburban gets going, it's it's not a terrible fix on the Suburban,
so like getting it back out there and going again should is very doable. It's just trying to.
Do a swap from the Tahoe transmission to the Suburban, and doing all that work, and then
plus like the fluids and the the torque converter things and gasket kits and the hundreds of dollars
you know extra that it would take besides my free transmission that I'm putting in.
It's just the time and the money. If I spent my time, you know, doing it, by the time I got it done,
there's no way I could make the trip. You know what I mean? Doing that, so I've kind of been.
Focusing on doing something else until after this Vegas deal, and then I'll get
that suburban going again. And like it shouldn't take me very long to get it going again.
And once it's had its few things addressed, like I'll feel really good about traveling the country
in that thing, and possibly towing a trailer and all kinds of things. And in this process
of the suburban breaking down, I've been looking at like sprinter vans
and different camper vans that maybe I could rent for a few days or a week to try to drive it out.
And the cost is fairly reasonable, and you—they have it like Airbnb stuff,
where people just rent their shit. You know what I mean? Like they—I own a camper or RV,
and I just don't really ever use it, so I put it on this site, and it's like people just come here
and get it and take it wherever they want to go and come back, and you got like unlimited miles,
and you just pay for it per day. So if I can get the suburban going, then like
before the time comes that I could have a trailer or something to tow behind it. Then you know, like
when event times come around, or if we set something up, then I can at least probably rent one
of those for very reasonable and tow it around for a week or whatever. Go hit these events,
and you know maybe along the way some sponsorship builds, or as the project builds,
if I'm really promoting moons everywhere I go, or whatever the case may be. You know,
as long as it keeps me funded to get around and pay for that trailer, and then hopefully
some profits are generated along the way, and eventually I would get my own trailer
and then could be out there doing it. But I'm thinking I'd really like to travel around
in that suburban I have. I just want it to look like brand new, but like custom and cool,
and you know, new technology and things like that, because it's a 2002.
So I think it'd be cool to roll around in that thing and then have a little trailer behind it,
have some branding all over the place, and. Just roll around and go to events, man.
There's tree right there. I'll be up in Ohio, be like, "What up? Let's do this." Be soul gods
and jets and melting moons and all the things plastered all over the side of that thing. So, tree,
welcome in. I'm gonna. I'm just chit chatting with drinks a little bit,
and we really haven't done anything besides that yet. So, ooh, I see Paul just came in too.
He's a he's a foreign fellow, buddy of mine that I've been talking to for a long time, like
since I started in crypto, and He, I don't get to talk to him on the regular, but last I saw him,
he was trying to start his own business, and so that was going to be exciting. And so, yeah, yeah,
tree. I don't know if you can come up, but you're more than welcome, Paul. You're more than welcome.
And yeah, drinks, how's things in your land, buddy? It's good. I don't think I have any right
to complain about the heat, but plus 80s all week long for the zone, and.
Just been gorgeous out here, man. That's welcome, one and all. Anybody that comes out this way,
you know, happy to shake hands. Tried to meet up with Rankin over July Fourth,
so that would have been cool, but I think he was on his boat all day and actually didn't even leave
the water. So it it is what it is, man. And just hope everybody's safe.
All the things that happen to you out there on the road, I I sympathize, man.
My my family had an old Like blue truck, and I want to say it was like late seventies or
early eighties Chevy that we used to drive and haul the boat, and you know, go to the river
and do all that stuff. In so many sympathies, and at the same time, it's it's going to make for
some great adventures. And just hope you're safe and and having a good time out there
while you're doing it, man. Glad to have you back. Yeah, it was it was brutally hot. I'll say that,
but it man, it was. One of those things—the thing, quick going down the highway—and I was just like,
"What can you do?" You know, you you figure out a solution and you move on. And so,
it was a bummer because I was trying to deliver some stickers and some mercs down to a guy that had
an event like the next day, and so and I was going to go with him to that.
It was a Battle of the Bands thing, and he sells World Mobile service, so I had some World Mobile
stuff for him, which I finally got it. I was like. Fifteen or twenty bucks to ship it
when it cost me hundreds of dollars to drive it to him. But mostly, I wanted to take that trip
to test before I went to started heading for Vegas. Like if I wouldn't have tried to deliver that
to him, then I'd be all set and ready to roll for Vegas and might get to the Oklahoma Panhandle
on my way out there, and everybody expecting me to be there and. And you know,
fall apart out there somewhere. So it's kind of fortunate that it happened the way it did.
So that's kind of, you know, me, brother. That's the way you got to look at things,
and it's the way I try to look at things. It's it can always be worse. I feel like so.
I I did not get any good sleep that night because I was like just laying in sweat all night.
So I would lay there for like an hour, and I'd have to get up and like go try to catch some kind
of breeze out there. But I've been down that road a lot of times, man.
I've slept in my vehicle a bunch, but whether it was planned or not planned,
and I've been afoot a bunch of times in my life. So and I've been way far away from home
in all those situations. So it's fortunate, like. Nowadays, like my truck has,
or my son has a vehicle that can haul a trailer with a vehicle on it. Like that's what he does
all the time is looks for vehicles to go get and bring home and work on them and flip them.
So he's hauling vehicles all the time. So going down to pick me up was just like going to get one
of his toys. So it wasn't terrible. He he actually had him and my mom left to drive down
to Texas somewhere to get this seventy three I think he found out it's a '76,
but an old '70s model Ford truck that is like his dream truck that he wants to build
and make it look awesome. And they were on their way down there to get that with the trailer,
and I was headed for New Mexico. And then I broke, and they're like, they're like, well,
we're on the way to this guy's house, and we're gonna get this truck, and then we're gonna go home,
and maybe we'll come get you tomorrow. And I was like, all right, then. So what can you do, man?
I sat there and. Triple A wanted to. They're like, we'll take you five miles,
and then we'll charge you per mile after that. And you know, I was hundreds of miles from the house,
and it was just like, man. So, is what it is. I got home all right. My vehicle got home all right.
Nothing like blew out of the casing of anything. So, like, nothing super bad wrecked or torn up.
The transmission just the clutches went out of it. So, like, the gears are all still good, I think.
But like I said, I have a whole another one, so I'm just gonna drop the one out of it
and take the one out of my Tahoe and put it in this Suburban and should be good to go,
or at least it'll go for a while. And then maybe I'll really rebuild the Suburban one fresh
and new while it's out on the ground. And then you know, if the Tahoe one that's in the Suburban
falls down, then I got this brand new one, and it'll go 300,000 miles or 200 or something.
So fortunately, the engine seems to run really well. There's A couple of sensors
and some like I need to change the intake gasket. Probably, I think I got a little bit
of vacuum leak on it, so it's not firing quite like it should. But other than that,
the thing is super mechanically sound. It's a, it's a Chevy. It's a Suburban.
It hauls a lot of stuff. It's four wheel drive. It goes anywhere I want it to go when it's going.
So I think once I get the transmission lined up and a couple of those engine things,
it's gonna be it's gonna be in really good shape. I'll be focusing on. Making the interior look good
and have some new technology in it, and and then what to do with the body and paint or decals
or wrap or whatever the case may be. So I think it's going to be awesome, especially
if I can travel around with my other caravan friends and got suburban and trailer branded up,
and then a Tesla and trailer and a Winnebago and another guy in another rig that's
mining blocks everywhere he goes. His ship runs full time, so we got quite a movement going.
And meeting KMAC and Quack is is like just Those things that just make makes it feel like
the the goals I'm trying to achieve are actually achievable when you see other people trying to do
the same things, and then you can marry your stuff together and and all help each other.
It's just to me that's what I got into Web three for, and what I love about DeFi and crypto
and stuff is like you can literally build a group of people that could that can run a thing,
just like in your town, like. If you closed off your town to everybody
and just like we're gonna put a community fund together, this is how we take care of everybody.
If you get sick, this is the doctor that we use. If when your kids go to school,
this is who teaches them. You know all the things, and they all choose
and decide the best things for their community. You can do that in crypto and Web three too. So it's
and people are all over the world, and it can be a thing that you all contribute to together
that builds all of you up at the same time. So to me, that's what it's all about, and I see more
and more people doing it, man, and it's just it's amazing. So. Yeah, shout out to everybody.
Everybody in this room is one of those people, and that's doing it and sees it
and is out here seeing the vision and working on these goals and understands the process of what
a community can do when they all get together. So, I appreciate all of you. Drinks, drinks.
You got any new songs, brother? You at home? You got something? Can you play?
Are you even still here? Nah, he gone, or I'm gone. One of the two. That's all right.
Birds are chirping, chimes are going, the sun is out. It's not 105; it's probably 95,
and the humidity's probably 55. So it's definitely warm, but not not super terrible.
I am still here, man. I'm just driving around, so I can't hit the can't hit the mic every time
I would like to. But I do have some new stuff. I do have some new stuff. I'm not home yet,
but if I make it that far and you're still on, I'll pull some up for you. All right.
Are you done with your your Work or errand running part of your day, and just going to chill at home
for the rest of the night. That's kind of what I'm doing. I went over to In and Out,
grabbed a burger, and yeah, grabbed some stuff on the way home. Good old In and Out, man. Yeah,
I got to get back out to California soon, man. I do love it out there,
and I got a lot of good friends. So yeah, before the year's out, I'm going to be on one
of the coasts, if not both. So we're going to make it happen, and. Very, very nice, man.
Those are good goals. Yeah, and I'm gonna learn to pour metal before the years out. Maybe we'll see.
I hope. You talking like forge and casting and that kind of stuff? Casting, yeah.
Like I could teach you a little bit about it if you like. Do you do it already? So like,
I had a I had a buddy who did it, so I had to learn all about it. Nice.
I those caravan friends of mine, as I was talking to Quack, you know, she wants to do.
Like therapy centers and retreat type places, and her and her partner looking for properties
and different things. And my caravan friends are really similar. Like they want to. She's realtor,
and they want to get properties around the country. And you could do meetups.
You could have where like holders could have perks to stay in there, whatever the case may be.
And then you know the rest of the time it's just a place for people that don't do anything crypto
or anything could just come to a retreat place or a or a place that's.
On the way from somewhere where people travel through, and it's a kind of off the beaten path,
just a cool place to come camp or stay at a Airbnb type deal. And a lot of their stuff
is revolved around health and wellness. And he likes those float tanks,
and he's got a one of those things where you wear goggles and like have a strobe light,
and you have these headlights on, and like you're supposed to have this. Experience
where you're traveling the Akashic or something like that, you know, while you're doing
these things. But he's kind of into that stuff. But then they also have he has like
all the equipment to do glassblowing, and he's done some, but he's not like good enough at it
to teach people. But part of what he would like is to find like good artists like that,
or people that can forge and cast and do woodworking and different things where they can.
Have a thing to offer people that come stay at these places, and like if you had a glassblower
that was on site and taught glassblowing classes at these retreat sites
and properties where we buy stuff. Like if Simple gets a gold mine, maybe it's too shitty of weather
to go out and mine gold, so now we're all sitting in a glassblowing class or a metal casting class
or something like that, and we got all these. People that have these skills that can,
and we could set it up like a meetup. Hey, everybody, we're gonna have this event
where we teach glassblowing for three or four days, and all you guys that are holders are invited,
or you know, whatever the case may be. So many possibilities of stuff you could do like that.
So community getting together and getting these properties, or people that have big properties,
like I'd love to have. My mom even said, maybe you need to just see if you can have a meetup here,
and I was like, yeah, mom, I talk about it all the freaking time. I'm like,
we got all the land in the world. I could have hundreds of people here
and have a cool meetup on this property. And I don't know if she met on this property
or just here in Tulsa somewhere, but she, I was like, I tell people all the time
because we're central in the country, we could have a big meetup here
where like people could come from both coasts and down south and you know down
from the Canadian border even from Canada that you know it's we're just more central location
for everybody in the countries. It would I've always thought it would be a good place to have
a meetup here. And man, I love I know a lot of Oklahoma people that I've met on through Web three.
That are crypto people. Like, I don't know a lot in real life that hold any crypto
or know much about it. But I know several from meeting them in spaces and stuff, and Discords,
and different projects. And about at least half of the people I have met online that are here
in Oklahoma, I've got to meet in real life. So that's uh, it's we got a a good good crew
of good people around here. So it's pretty awesome. I see a request, but I don't really know you, so
and. Your account looks a little strange, so probably not gonna let you up, Alfie.
But I appreciate you coming in, and I don't know, man. Keep coming back. I'll do
this every week if you. And Melting Moons does a space on Mondays, and all these other people do
some spaces. So if I see you around in the community and you keep coming in here or something,
I'll let you up next time. But I can't really do it on what I see from your account only.
So I appreciate you trying to get up and speak, but. Won't be today, my friend.
But you want to hang around and listen? We do usually have some good conversation. Me as the host
and drinks as a person driving down the road. We're not quite having the same conversation
that we sometimes have, but more me rambling than anything else. But yeah,
it's still usually some good conversation. I was playing. That's per the usual.
What are you talking about? What me rambling? Yes, sir. Well. I I actually drinks I I can ramble
that is 100 for sure um and in simple spaces usually he rambles a lot so I don't talk very much
in his spaces I sometimes jump in there and cut him off when I think I need to
or whatever he he does he curses way too much for my liking so kind of straighten him out
yeah I don't remember where we were the other day but it it seemed like uh I wasn't enjoying
the vibe so much and you were in there as a speaker and I was down as a listener and I was off.
In the other side of the room, working on something, and I thought I heard you say, "Well,
that's my cue to take off" or something like that. And then I came back over to look,
and you weren't around anymore. So it's one of those raunchy spaces, I think. So I know how it is,
man. I sometimes those are fun. I just I can't spend three hours just listening to nonsense.
You know what I mean? If I'm going to listen to rambling, I want there to be some. Some positivity
or some, some hopefully you know, like some building. Somebody's rambling about what they're working
on, or even if they're rambling about their crazy day that they had. They just need to unload
or whatever. It's or even like you know, verbally processing. They just need to work through
it out loud. Yeah, I want to hear that. I want to help out. I'm here for that, man. Exactly,
exactly. You know, that's why I wanted to hear about your trip, man. So, yeah, it's uh, well,
that's. That's what I want to do, man. Is that all the time, except for without the breaking down
and being stranded in the heat part. But I don't even mind sleeping in my vehicle, man.
I've got all the stuff to do it, and it would be cozy in there. But like, I brought a sleeping bag
and a pillow and some and a backpack of some clothes because where I was going,
the guy has like three. He owns a piece of property in New Mexico in this small town out there,
and he has three or four big old huge. Like fifth wheel type tow behind campers,
and I was going to get to stay in one of those while I was there,
and I was just basically going to have my sleeping bag and pillow and crash out. But yeah,
I got stranded on the road, and so normally if I was going to sleep in my truck,
I would bring like one of those inflatable air mattresses or something, and a fan.
If I knew it was going to be really hot, and I plug in a cigarette lighter fan
or have a battery powered or solar powered fan that charges and stays running for a few hours
or whatever, and just a little bit of breeze would have like saved me in there, but. Bro,
I I cracked the windows, but you know I'm sitting in a Love's truck stop parking lot,
and although it was pretty clean and had good lights and blah blah blah,
you know where I was parked, there was all kinds of other people that were pulling in
and pulling up in these same parking spaces to like crash out and get rest.
It was like a one-hour parking spot, but I spent 24 hours in it. The people at the Loves were
really cool, and I I had a lot of good interaction with them. I was in
and out of there a bunch of times, and They had showers there. I was really like, man,
I need to check in and see what it takes to get a shower. I could, I could be just living out here
in the parking lot at Loves for quite a while if they didn't run me off. But I'd go out there
and pick up trash or clean up something if I had to. But stuff like that, man, I'm not,
I'm not against it. If I was traveling around and I had to, like, I didn't have
enough fuel to get somewhere for a few days or whatever. If I could find a Loves or a Walmart
and they'd let me just crash out like that, and I could have bathrooms to use
and a place to get some refreshments and food and They just let me like pick up trash or something,
and be like, "Here's a hundred bucks for your three days you stayed here picking up trash,
and you got free water and and crackers or whatever." I'd I'd do that for a few days and move on.
I don't know how it is anymore, but used to be Cracker Barrel was a good safe place to
to you could stop and park for the night, and they wouldn't run you off and stuff like that.
So there's some places around where you can do that kind of stuff that are like all
over the country. Different truck stops and Wal-marts and Cracker Barrels and things like that,
and like they've got a community where you can map places like that. And there's also a thing called
Harvest Host, and I don't know if it's just a Facebook thing or if they just utilize Facebook
for marketing. But if you're a part of it, it's like a hundred dollars for a year membership.
And there's places all over the country where people have little small businesses,
or there's strip centers, or there's like an art gallery, or a small town museum,
or something like that. And if they have a, if it's a touristy thing or a shop of some sort,
usually they'll have like a parking lot, and a lot of times that establishment will have a fence
around it. And if you're part of Harvest Host, you can go to any one of those places as a member,
and after they close up shop for the day, you can pull into their parking lot
and stay inside their fence for free. You can only stay overnight, one night,
and like you don't—they don't normally have facilities or anything like that. So, like
if you have your own facilities on your rig, it's best. But like you could be a van lifer
and just have a bed and be like, I'll go to a place that has a shower and whatever tomorrow,
and you can pull up at these people's place and just check in and. And what they really like is
for you to go tour their shop or their museum or whatever, and either like leave a tip
or maybe buy something from one of the merchants or the artist, local artist that's in that town
or whatever. And then everybody has a little bit of fellowship. And usually, like
when I traveled with those caravan people, because they're in Web three and crypto,
like they're looking for those like. Businesses like that that don't really have a lot of business,
and they're kind of off the beaten path of these travel routes. And they're trying to find ways
to integrate Web three and marketing and and crypto and that you know smart contract technology
into their local business there. How How the caravan can help teach them things
that can help promote their business with Web three things. So it's a it's
a cool little handshake process. And for a hundred bucks a year, if I was traveling all the time,
I mean that's no brainer, worth it all day long. You know what I mean?
So there's plenty of places you can stop and get showers. You can get a gym membership to like
Gold's Gym or something, and drive all over the country and Planet Fitness.
Drive all over the country and just use their shower and their sauna or whatever the case,
and then move on to the next town as you go. And you can be clean and hippified and off grid
and all the things, and out there really helping yourself and helping a lot of people and having
a good day and a good life. I think so.
I think everybody should do it. Drinks. Everybody should do it, my friend.
Oh, here goes anti. Welcome in, buddy. We, I've been rambling. Drinks is up here speaking,
but he's driving, so he's kind of busy. But I haven't been talking about a whole lot. Maybe I have.
Nothing in particular on topic. So you're more than welcome to request a mic and come up and.
If not, then you're more than welcome to sit and chill. I definitely appreciate you, everybody.
While we got a few people in here, and there is some good accounts and legends and all the things,
can everybody like maybe repost the shit up top? Or you don't have to do that. That's showing
grateful dead. Ooh, you could repost the Melty on Soul stuff if he would, and maybe throw a like
and retweet and all the good things that we all know we're supposed to do when we go to spaces and.
I appreciate you guys. Love everybody in here. And simple came up. You came up last time as drinks,
and I let drinks go. And I think I'm probably gonna let anti go this time.
But I do want to say hi to you, simple, and give you your shout outs and see what you got going on
with your day. So let me say hi to anti, and then we'll we'll go back to you, simple. How you doing,
anti? I don't even see simple up in here. I don't know if my space is the melting moons account. Oh,
that's what you call simple. That's that's his. I've known him for a long time before he even had
this melting moons account. He was on a smart account, and his name's Simple. His real name's Cody.
So, and he's completely doc. So I didn't just throw him under the bus right now. He is.
I don't give a shit. Don't tell me your name, man. Don't even do it. I'm just playing.
I definitely respect people's privacy, but he is absolutely fully docs, and you can get his name,
address, phone number, face, everything off of our Discord channel. So, but yeah, man,
how's your day going? It's going all right. I won't be able to hang out for too long, but obviously,
I saw you guys popped up a space. I'm not normally available at this time of day,
but I wanted to come and say what's up and just hang out for a little bit. Well,
I certainly appreciate it. The more legends we have up here talking, the better. And yeah,
I don't know. You know, you know Quack and K Mac at all? Quack, I do. Yeah. So I've been.
She's the one behind the actual NFT project, correct? Yeah, Quack's the project. Mystic is is the
or Mystic, I guess is the the one of the founders or co-founders of the project. Yeah. Yeah,
I've definitely gotten a chance to. She comes up in a lot of spaces. I don't get to talk to
her very often, but a lot of my favorite people are involved in the project, so obviously,
definitely something I want to support. Well, I got to get a couple of hugs from her
and sit across the table and chat with her for about two or three hours yesterday, and here,
very cool here in Tulsa or Broken Arrow actually, and. I love what they got going on
with their project, and I know I know some about it. I mean, more than others, probably.
I've got one or two of those quacks, and just what they're building, their merch,
and just her when she gets into spaces, she sounds like a forty or fifty year old legend.
You know what I mean? Like she's just so business minded and professional,
but she's She's pretty young, and she's just got a good head on her shoulders
and a super kind heart. And she just—it was just amazing to sit with her and chat.
And then K Mac is—he's from here in Oklahoma, and he he lives not far from me.
And we've been interacting for a while, but I haven't got to meet him yet. So if it wasn't for her,
like coming to town from California out to Tulsa, visiting some other people
and getting us all together, I still probably wouldn't have met K Mac. So that was—it was awesome.
That's an interesting connection between California and Oklahoma. You don't. Hear that too often.
Yeah, it was. I guess she lived out here for quite a while before she lived up there,
so she has family and friends and things back here, and so she was coming to see them on vacation,
and was just like, I'm gonna try to see these Web three homies while I'm out here.
So we definitely did. It was. Man, that's what I. More people need to do that because like,
there's so many of us, but it's not often that people will just ask the question, you know,
like who's where and obviously I get it, like you said, privacy thing. Some people don't want to.
Be doxxed, but like knowing what county you are, at state you are, it's not
like people are gonna go knock on ten thousand doors and stalk you. You know what I mean? Like,
it's one of those things where we've started to develop. I'm down in the great state of Florida.
We started to develop like a map where we have like a web three map for people that live down here
in the state, and we'll put their PFP like over a county. Kind of thing. So, like,
whenever you're traveling for business or for family or whatever, like, if you're in the area,
you hit them up. If they're not interested, then who cares? You know, no harm.
But if you're gonna be there already and you want to grab a coffee or you know grab a bite to eat,
you can learn you know some of the local spots where the people live and just say what's up.
You know, it's been it's been kind of fun. That did you hear what I was saying about
that Harvest House place? I don't think so. When I came in, it wasn't I couldn't hear the speakers
for some reason. But I was like, I can come up and speak for the next five minutes,
and then as soon as I came up and speak,er I could hear you. Well, there's I have
some caravan friends that travel around in RVs and haul trailers, and they caravan friends.
That sounds like what do you call it? What were the old you know like gypsy style type?
I could see quack. I could definitely see quack being a gypsy style. She is. She's like.
What she's doing with wanting to try to get properties and have retreat type places
and places we could have meetups and stuff—that's what my caravan friends are wanting to do.
And like you can get project sponsorships, so we can travel around and host these events.
And you know, we can buy land together. We can find people that have land.
Like I live on a big farm property in Oklahoma, so like we could possibly have a meetup here.
And you know, just different things like that that you know she's really into,
and they're really trying to build with the Quack Project is really similar to just what
I. Want to do with my life and Web three and what I really, you know, I I said I don't know
if you heard me, but right before you came in, I was like, I think everybody should do it,
just travel around and all go visit each other and build with each other
and see how we can help each other and then move on to the next group of people you want to meet up
with and and a lot of people are doing that out of necessity these days. I mean,
it's just you never know when it's a good time to buy property. It's really getting a lot harder.
So I know a lot of people that are just investing into those types of like trailers
and you know out of necessity, but now they're starting to see the world. You know, it's kind of
like they were forced into it. With the way that the economy is, but now they're loving it,
kind of getting to see the world where they would have just been stuck in a single county,
working a single job. But everybody's got the chance of these satellite positions now.
The world's changing. Oh, a hundred percent, man. That's what I I quit my career job in '23,
and so it was like not too long after all the COVID stuff, and people started working from home
and whatnot. And my job was like hands-on. Well, I managed some people for the most,
but I did a bunch of hands-on work, building like wiring harnesses and stuff like that,
electrical things and whatnot, but. It was a career job and like something
I really probably couldn't do from home unless they shipped all the materials
and just let me build those cables at home. But you know that that workforce came around
through COVID when they sent everybody home and started working from home,
and there was a lot of people that were like. Yeah, man, I don't need to come back because I can do
my job from home. And if you don't want to let me do it, then I'll find somebody that will.
And so that's really become a thing. And then as people, like you said, it's become a necessity
because of home prices and vehicle prices and gas prices and all the things.
And people just can't own anything anymore. And so now, rather than being homeless, they're van life
or off grid or you know whatever. And in the process, they're I think, like you said,
they're finding that, like, man, I should have been doing this all along. Like, this is the way.
Like, it sucks to be homeless and living on the street, but if you find a place
and you can build something and do yeah, the gypsy life is coming back,
and now they're they are still working. Like, they're figuring out ways to work,
and they're figuring out different jobs they can either do if they stay at a place for
a couple months, like you know, picking up handyman jobs or whatever. You know,
there's there's places where you can work with your hands that people are willing to pay you.
Either that, or if they do have the the satellite job now with Starlink.
You know they're able to work from wherever they want. They just park up for a month, work there,
get to know the people, and then move on if they want. Stay a little longer if they want,
and they can even save up money. So it's it's a different lifestyle kind of forced on them.
But I definitely have some friends that are loving it. That's what there's a few people
in this caravan group, and one of the couples drives a Cyber Truck with a brand new Airstream.
And they get looks everywhere they go, and they got they've got Starlink and their World Mobile
people, and so they're they're on the both of them do different things that are
Web three business things all day, every day, everywhere they go, and they manage properties that
they own, and then she's a realtor, and they're looking for properties as they travel the country,
and and then one of the other guys is in seventy three, I think Winnebago, and he.
He has been staying out in the desert on like government land for the last month or two or three
or four. I don't know. It's been a minute. And there's another Web three guy that's local there
that he does some things for him to kind of earn some things along the way.
And that guy's got construction going on. And like those people, the people with the cyber truck
and the airstream, they took me out to California and had me on a boat they own
and had me in these properties they own, and all of them needed some kind of maintenance.
And they're like, man, it would be cool if you could just like. Stay in this house for a month
and just work on these plumbing issues and fix these light fixtures and you know repair
these shelves or whatever the case may be like a like a not a remodel but you know some things that
they've had on a list for a while that they need done and like I could literally take some tools
out there drive out stay at that place for free for a month as long as I can feed myself
and help them out with their deal and then as they earn profits for their rental property you know
that in turn benefits me down the road somewhere so amazing things we can do with this stuff
and the right people in the right communities right mindset man. You, if you look down here,
everybody in this room is that way. So, I love your pirate hat. We we were talking at
lunch yesterday about a pirate, and I said, man, it's just the crypto way.
It seems to be the mindset in some of these people, and we're not bad guys.
We just sail our own seas, and we we barter with each other, and we help each other,
and take care of each other, and that's that's that's the way. To me, look out for the bad actors
and that kind of thing, and point towards the good people, and let people decide for themselves.
I literally know somebody who. Lived out of a Sprinter van while they got their doctorate.
They worked at the Y on the weekends, and so they got the free membership
and they literally lived on government land and their Sprinter van while they were working towards
their doctorate. And then they would just do some weekend hours at the Y studying for
the Their boards and stuff like that, so they basically lived rent free for the whole
four years of their doctorate. Got paid some, just you know, working a little bit at the Y. Got
the free showers, got to work out for free, all that kind of stuff. So it's like, you know,
people can do it if you think outside the box and you're willing to swallow a little bit of pride.
Like, it's not like they're a burden on society. You know, obviously now he's literally a doctor,
but he did it in a way that was minimal to. Hurting his account, where most people just take on
the student debt. I'm, I'm one that you know. I wish I did it differently,
but my student debt was much bigger because I was paying all this rent for an expensive apartment
close to where I was getting my doctorate done, and that kind of thing. And looking back,
and I'm like, that's a crazy cool idea. Like that guy is just that's kind of what Web three people
do, right? Like thinking of different ways and alternatives to get things done,
and that was ingenuity, in my opinion. Yeah, and he'll probably turn out being one of those doctors
that's like one of the best doctors around. Like, really is a doctor for the medicine.
You know what I mean? Oh yeah, he crushed it through his entire program. Did very well,
and he got placed in a really good starting salary with a good facility and everything.
So he definitely had a good head on his shoulders. But he just thought a little bit outside the box
and didn't worry about. You know, he was put his nose to the ground and just worked
and wasn't worried about what people thought. You know, he was like living in a van and in parks
and stuff. But like he loved it. He had a great time for the whole time. Down by the river.
Pretty much. Pretty much. Anti man, I wanted to check on you after Tuesday too.
You feeling any better? I am starting to feel a little better. I'm finally turning the corner.
Good stuff. Murder. Yeah, I'm about to. I've just made like a funny little art piece with like one
of my NFTs, just fighting like a horde of zombie worms. So, if anybody wants to know, you know,
if you want to lose a quick 12 pounds and don't want to get on the Ozempic train,
just get some parasites. That works just as well. But I'm coming out the other side,
and I'm starting to feel a little better. My energy's coming back. So, yeah, victory's in sight.
Also, don't eat salads anymore. Bro, the lettuce today is kind of spooky.
If you go to anywhere that has a salad bar, that would be very questionable in my my book. Well,
I usually have my own garden and I grow all my own stuff, but like I've got little ones,
I had another daughter, so like life has been busy, so my garden is pretty minimal.
And I don't even eat salads. I'm not normally a salad person anyway. Um,
but ended up eating healthy, and my was like, oh, got to lose some weight. Like, yeah,
I definitely do. So ate some salads and some produce from the Publix, and I've been.
Definitely sick for weeks now. Got parasites from it, so like that whole thing that's been on
the news. Like I just happen to be lucky enough to be one of the ones in the statistics.
So I just got all, or I just did like a whole round of crazy, crazy medication and the stuff. Man,
my body is going through it, but I'm feeling a little bit better. So thank you, drinks for asking.
That is good to hear. Go ahead, drinks. Oh, I didn't have anything, man. I just made it back,
got settled in my house. Going to pour a nice tall glass of iced tea and.
Beat the heat till the sun goes down. So as long as you're hanging out, man,
I'll be in here for a little bit. But I got a hot date this evening. Other than that, nice, nice.
How bad has it been over in California? Because it feels like a hundred degrees right now
in Florida. It's yeah, depending on if you're if you're on the coast or you have some breezes.
I'm close enough to the ocean where it's been between about eighty and eighty five,
and it's equally that humid. So it's kind of interesting when it's that hot on the coast,
and you—I have every inclination to go jump into the ocean for like an hour. Eighty
and eighty-five—I can't even. Can't even hear that. That sounds so nice. But at the same time,
while I'm battling the internal, you know, zombie horde, you guys have to battle the the real ones
out there. That's it. Yeah, you you go into downtown. I think downtown LA hit
triple digits the other day, so it's a stark difference, but hot nonetheless.
That smog be trapping that heat in. Anton, do you know know me by any chance? You don't know me.
I do. Yeah, I used to be a lot more active with Nomi. Probably like a year ago,
just due to different things. Everybody gets busy, but I still see Nomi here every here and there.
Where'd you see him a year ago? Was it that's like pre Soul Gods, isn't it? Yep,
that was before Soul Gods. Was it on Cardano or somewhere else? No, he was hanging out with
Soul on Chain a lot more back then, just like in spaces and things like that. But like I said,
everybody gets busy, and he got super busy with Soul Gods and things like that. So,
but definitely like know me. Yeah, he's he's a long time homie. I've been known him
like my almost my whole time in the space. And simple in the moons count.
There he had does he has the smart account, which has like six projects under it,
and they're all all Cardano CTO rugs shit. And so, not they're not rugs anymore,
but they you know stuff he had the CTO that other people rubbed, and they're they're not.
Any of them big projects, but a lot of good homies have been around in those those projects
for a long time, and he keeps them together and keeps those people together.
And now it's translated into this. And nobody's been a part of that group,
or I've known him in that group for a long time. So, yeah, it was him that got
us transitioning in here, meeting all these soulful man. So he is he's doing he started
you know he started doing I don't know if you know, but he started doing some lives
and podcast type stuff. And K Mac is the guy that I met with yesterday with Mystic, and him
and Nomi are gonna podcast together and do lives together and stuff. And K Mac's kind
of radio personality, does voices, and he's kind of goofy and stuff. So, and he's a real good guy.
So. Love all that, yeah, man. It's like there's never enough time in the day.
Like the longer you're here, you meet more and more cool people,
and sometimes it's hard to you know keep up with all of it, and you know you feel
bad losing track of some people. But then as soon as you're back with them on Spaces,
it's like you never missed a beat. You know what I mean? Oh yeah, I don't.
He's so busy with Soul Gods nowadays, and and he's always busy with every other project
and chain that pops up that sounds good or the art looks good. He jumps on NFTs,
but if he were to pop in right now, it'd be like you know I was just in space
with him earlier today. So it's for sure that's the way it is. I gotta let you guys know go,
but I definitely miss our I miss our Thursday night trivia nights too as well.
That's one of the things I miss the most out of all these spaces, but.
I'll catch up with you with you guys at another time. Tree, nice to see you again.
I haven't seen Tree for a little while either. Always a pleasure hanging out with you guys.
So enjoy the rest of your time. And drinks, maybe I'll see you on Tuesday. We'll see.
I appreciate you, brother. Oh, absolutely. Anti's got a soul on chain.
What real weird news Tuesdays? Yeah, the real. It's a phenomenal thing to become to come be a part
of you. So I like the giveaway. I like the funny stories. It's good stuff, man.
This has been one of my favorite of the guessing game. I can't wait
for someone to actually guess it. So it'll be fun. Yeah, I'd like to see you guys do some heads up
trivia again. So, that's good, dude. That was was it got the people going. You know,
it was a fun time. What's funny is you can kind of throw simple in there,
and he actually gets some trivia pretty good sometimes. So, it's got he he would have
his little runs. Yeah, absolutely. He don't sound like the smartest guy around,
but he actually does know some stuff. I think so. All right, I want to say hi to Tree.
She finally made it up, and welcome. I hope you're not driving, but if you are, please be careful
and You sound like you're driving. Hi, Eric. I am driving. Yeah, I'm driving home from work. So.
Well, at least you have the technology and probably the good things that makes it
where you can pay attention to what you're doing while you chat. Oh yeah, it's no problem.
So it's a beautiful day, 82 degrees. It's like a perfect day here. Nice, beautiful. It's blue skies.
Love it. It it looks amazing in the shade here. I'll say that. And it's not terrible.
It's it's definitely be a great day to sit by the pool or be at the lake or something.
Now, are you in Las Vegas? Are you still home? No, I'm. I'm at home. Vegas starts on
Tuesday next week. Oh, okay, okay. So, yeah, I'm still on the fence. We'll see.
But because now my truck is broken and I have to find a whole different way to go, so. Yeah.
And I wasn't in a position where it was like I could even afford it at all in the first place.
It was like a pipe dream kind of thing, but so. Anything I throw up, my truck takes away from what
I would need to take the trip and all that. So I, we'll see how it goes. I'm, I'm not fully.
I'm not saying yet that I'm not going to be there. I'll, I'll put it that way. I,
I still have in my mind there's a chance. There you go. But we'll see. Well, I hope you get,
hope you get your truck fixed. That's important. That I will do. It'll probably be after Vegas,
whether I go or not. Um, because I got a lot to do whether I go or not. But shortly after that,
I should be getting it back up and going, and then hopefully, you know, before the summer's over
or something, you know, maybe by what is it, Labor Day that we have in September,
or is that Memorial Day? It's Labor Day, isn't it? Labor Day's in September. Yeah. The end of summer
or whatever. Maybe, hopefully, before Labor Day's out, I'll be able to get to either coast.
You know what I mean? Be in good enough shape and be on my feet enough that I can travel that far
and that kind of thing. So. We'll see. I'll try to make another event or two
besides Vegas before the year's out, or at least go find some people somewhere. There you go.
Are you thinking about going to NFT NYC? No, that's like the week after Vegas, isn't it?
Like the first or second week of August, or the end of August, or something. No, it's
the first first week of September. First of September, so be another. I don't know.
That's if I don't make Vegas, and I can get my vehicle going, I would definitely consider that.
I know there's a handful of people going. Yeah. No. Yeah, there'll be a lot of people there, sure.
And there's a that's always a good time. I got a whole bunch of northeast friends,
and maybe if I could travel out, maybe I could get some of them to actually come to the event.
Jersey, you know, some Jersey and Boston and people like that out there. Yeah,
that would be close for them. Yeah, for sure. Yeah. Yep. I don't know. I want to go to all of them,
Tree. I'm like you, except for you can afford to do them all and all that be VIP everywhere you go,
and they're like, "Ooh, there's Tree." I'm trying to get to Nashville, so.
Trying to see if some people want to meet up there. Is that going to be with Tree and them,
or a different thing? Um. Well, it's the Soul Gods. Was we're trying to get a meet up, but you know,
so she would probably be hosting it or trying to set it up
or whatever. At least. Yeah. Um. Like August twenty second. So.
That would be a cool one to make too. I'd love to get out that way, and if I could get my vehicle
going and hit that, then I could head on down to Georgia and Florida and see some people
and some of those people down there and. Where they're at, what they got going on.
If I was going to get out to Nashville, I definitely. Plus, I have that family that was just in town
that's from Alabama. I'd have to stop by and see them. I have more family out there in Alabama
that I haven't seen in years. So, there's definitely a bunch of people in that part of the southeast
that I I could definitely go venture around for a week or two and visit, do stuff with. Yeah,
I heard you talking about the the travelers. That sounds like a like a fun time. You know,
just travel around to see people. Yeah, those those people are great. They they did a meetup
in Chicago, and I think it was October last year. And it was at a guy's place that has a big farm
there and stuff. Community guy that just invited some of the community to his place,
and he's got this big barn that he's got set up. Like he's got a stage, and him
and some other friends have a band and play music together. So he's got all that stuff set up
where people can sit there and watch people play music, and so they had a campfire and stuff,
and then they all went into Chicago for a night and. Partied and did stuff, or you know,
went to dinner or whatever they did, and I was supposed to be going to that. But that,
if they do that again, I could probably get you an invite, and you would be that would be a group
of people you probably would would enjoy spending time with, and be fairly close for you to get to,
and that kind of thing. So, I don't know. And this guy Rod down here with the crazy yellow
and blue turquoise PFP. He is a Cardano homie, and he runs a steak pool,
and he's a teacher in real life, and lives in San Diego area, and teaches out there.
But he web threes, and he. Onboards people. They do meetups at like restaurants
and bars where they invite people out, and like they do digital tickets to comedy events
and these different events they do, and then they teach people about blockchain
and and how to get wallets and you know how different things work, and so like that's what
his stake pool is for is like to you know keep that flowing where he can keep teaching people
and keep onboarding and he builds all kind of processes to do it. So he's like.
I I met him before through another project way back when, but then like I got to know him
and meet him in person at the events and spend some time with him through those caravan people,
and it was just that kind of stuff. Tree, you know how it is, man. It's just amazing to get to sit
and toss around ideas and and his his dreams pool. It says I think Rod dreams, yeah, dreams D R M D,
and manifesting our dreams. That's what we're trying to do out here, and it's just
it's coming together. Tree, we're finding a lot of good people. You know it. Yeah, it's awesome.
Yeah, I mean, every every event I go to, I make more friends. You know, to become family friends.
Yeah, one of us rubbed. I can't hear you now. Bummer.
Simple or drinks? Can you hear me? Can you hear Tree?
Nobody can hear me. Can anybody hear me? You're good. Tree dipped. She's probably gonna do that.
Okay, I see you're a listener now. Okay, thanks, drinks, and thanks for the thumbs up. Okay, simple.
Well, we got a second. How you doing, buddy? How's your day going? You wait till Monday.
Is he up here yet? He's here. Here we go, you motherfucker. Oh, you know what I'm gonna say.
You didn't come in at early high time. I say what's up. I say, hey man,
I need to talk to my co. All this, and then you'd be like, hey, I'm gonna let
four hundred other people talk in front of you. I got you, bro. I feel you. I feel you.
And did somebody say I cuss too much? You're out your mother, my. Bro, I cost too much.
Ain't no way. I don't believe it. Nah, man, I'm just grinding. I'm trying to fucking get ready
for Vegas and yeah, man, just coming back from vacation last week and trying to catch up
and then make sure my guys are good for next week. And yeah, I had a big ass contract.
I don't know the lady. I don't know what happened, but she pulled out fucking sixty k worth of work,
and that's like around six weeks or so for my guys. So now it's just like grind, grind, grind,
right quick. I don't need to be going to Vegas either, but yeah, I'm going. I don't care.
I guess if I come back and the business is shut down, then it was meant to be. So,
but hopefully that won't happen. So yeah, just getting ready for Vegas. Excited. I saw the post,
and K Mac was in Nomi Space yesterday, talking about you know how y'all met
and how much he enjoyed it or whatever, and etc. So that was that was awesome. Y'all got to to meet.
That's what I told them. I was like, hell yeah, I get to meet a bunch of Legends next week,
a bunch of folks I've been talking to for years. I ain't never got to see them, so yeah,
I'm excited, man. I hope I hope something works out. I was gonna say if you quit bullshitting
and go ahead and get your Fred Flintstone on, your ass to be at Vegas in time, bro.
You got to hit the road now. Let my hair down, stick my thumb out. Hey, hey, there you go. I mean,
you know, they did it. I'll tell you like this. I remember my my aunt.
Now she was a very she alcoholic, lived a tough life. But dude, I watched her,
or didn't watch her obviously, but she walked from Atlanta to Blairsville,
which is about a hundred miles or so. She did that shit with two of those hefty black trash bags
full of her shit, and she did it in like a day. And she was like, she probably about like you.
She's about what five five. She's about one ten. You know what I mean?
So all I say is get your ass to work, or hey, get on a bike. You know what I mean?
Bike be a lot quicker. Hit that Forrest Gump on them. So I don't know, but no man,
I do hope you make it. But I understand if you can't. If I was going anywhere, I was running.
That's right. You know, get your ass stepping, buddy. But no man, I I get it. I do hope you make it.
If you're not, if you can't, man, I I get it. You know, last year we were supposed to go,
and because of Family stuff and financial, it just didn't work out. So that's why. If you don't,
I got to. I done said it too many times. Folks gonna think I'm damn rugged if I don't show up.
So we got the flight. We gonna go out there. My wife done sent me. She's like, holy hot as hell.
And I'm like, yeah, bro. That's Vegas. 110, good 115. But I was like, boy,
it's gonna be that dry heat, man. I can't wait. Dry heat, bro. It's gonna make
me want to move out there. I'm gonna be like the hell with it. They can have Georgia.
I'll stay on this side. I remember being out there. It's been so long though. Yeah, but no, man.
I'm excited. And shout out to all the legends, you know. Drinks, Tree was up here.
Who else was up here? I'll be anti. Me and him been talking a little bit in the background.
Cool dude. I think he rocks with the Bull Bears. I've been getting a lot,
a lot of folks from the Bull Bears talking about us chopping it up. So shout out to them. But yeah.
Oh, and shout out Tree for a clean sweep. She won all six NFTs. So Tree, if you are listening,
I sent the Cardano NFTs, but I need your Solana wallet and I need your Polygon wallet. Yeah, so,
but yeah, got a delusional and a salon stray on the soul side, so and a nudies and no, no, no. Oh,
that's for next. I thought there was one in there. So we got nudies. We've got a pair of weed gens,
a weed gen and a weed genet. I think a soul god. We got some. I don't know.
We we representing nothing but soul since we on our way. So yeah, nothing but soul prizes.
Y'all ain't even got to get y'all's Cardano wallet out no more. Only if you want to mint
the last few hundred. Win Cardano stuff. What happened to giving away Moon Boys or something? Yeah,
fuck it. We're moving to Solana. Like too expensive. Have you looked at the floor?
It's almost fifty. Let's go. Let's go. Nice. Yeah, bro. They're gonna go up and up and up. Yeah,
when the swap starts happening, people are gonna start dumping them things. I can't wait. Well,
look. That's the cool thing though. I just noticed like I've been tracking a little bit
of the wallets to see like new listings, and one of the guys that listed he just listed a bunch
of blue heads. A bunch of legendary, I mean, like some grails. But his wallet,
he's been sitting on them for like years since like before me and Fuse even took over.
So it's like that's good. It's like get the hell, like hell yeah, sell them, get the hell on,
put them in a new fresh wallet. You know, somebody. Is there is there a bunch of lightning jackets
in there? There's a few. He he he listed one or two. I think there's only like three or four. Hmm.
I have to go hit up my homie. Sounds like. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know. I need to see what's up,
big Melty. He's got all of them. That's a oka, that's a okey, homie. Another one. I was.
If that's his stuff. Damn, I forgot. Yeah. Shout out K Mac. He just popped up too.
But I just wanted to say what's up, man. I fucking got paperwork. I got fucking.
I've been listening, but yeah, my life is it's it's hectic. I bet it is, man. But yeah,
exciting times. As soon as everybody that wants to know been fucking beating down
my damn message board asking me when, when, when, and we're coming soon, man.
We got a few things figure out. We gave a number, right? You announced that, right? Yeah,
fifteen fifty five. Is that what it was? Fifteen fifty five, and we stopped me.
And that doesn't mean we won't go ahead. And if we're ready in time, we'll just probably cap it
at whatever it's at, like you were mentioning, and just keep it like twelve fifty or thirteen
and whatever, fourteen. I would like to get to that, and I'm trying to let everybody know
that that's the cheapest entry because we're going back to our original price when we hit soul.
So yeah, I mean, it's like if you do want to catch a discount, cool. If not, it's all good.
But yeah, I mean, really, we're we're gonna get the ball rolling as soon as we get back from Vegas.
Like we're gonna make the payment. We're going we're gonna go ahead and solidify what we're doing.
So right after Vegas, at the beginning of August, we'll start. Start pushing some things
and get over on Selana, so and get these mints pushing. So we got a lot of people over there
ready to mint. So don't want to make them wait too long. Rod down there.
I was in his ministry space on Sunday. He's been holding that ministry space for a long time,
long time. And I was in there, and he let me up, and we were chatting.
And he's going to be in Vegas, so definitely look for him. He should be rolling around.
You'll be able to spot him, and he. It's definitely somebody you're gonna want to sit and chat with,
but I was trying to get him to we. I think we somehow got talking about Viper Swap and Viperians
and stuff, and he was like, he's like, I'm a holder of like before the Viperians,
I got those OG whatever's and this that and the other, and I was like, man,
I think there's a thing where like you can get these trade deals and blah blah blah if you're
a holder, and so he gets on like while he's in space, he gets on and he starts looking,
and he's like, ooh, I'm gonna have to, I have some, but I'm gonna have to pick up some more
or something, and so like. Right there in space, he just starts picking some up out of
off the marketplace, and I'm like, bro, like you could be minting moon girls right now.
Is all I'm saying. So he's like, make sure you let everybody know you got me to to scoop some NFTs
while you were in my space, and I was like, man, screw them. They got all kinds of help.
We're trying to mint moon girls over here, so I did throw up top. If anybody does want to
still try to catch some on Cardano, there's about 300 maybe less at this point to go
till we hit the 1555. But I do have a referral link posted in that. Or in that post up top,
so I get 10 ADA for every mint that people put in. So I would like to thank anybody in advance
that uses that link, and thank you in advance for getting Moon Girls on Cardano.
You'll be one of those OG people who say, "Yep, got all these Solana Moon Girls,
" but I remember when I minted mine on Cardano back in the day, and so we got some Soul friends
and Cardano friends that are in this first batch of Cardano ones. So to me.
All the people that already hold some are amazingly special, so I don't care if you mend any more
or not. But you will be getting a little bit of a discount because when they go to Salona,
we're going to try to get back to the price, the dollar amount price that we wanted to start with
from the beginning. So yeah, the swap should be easy if you pick up any between now
and the fifteen fifty-five. It's not going to cost you an arm and leg to swap them over.
It should be either free or very, very minimal transaction fees. So the boys are going to, I think,
cost a little more, but be very reasonable. So if you're new to the Melting Moons community
and you haven't scooped any boys yet. I don't know. My My personal opinion would be I might wait
until we swap over, and then you can scoop boys off the Solana side. But if you're
Where are you picking them up on the Cardano side right now, Eric? Where's the boys?
Where's the marketplace to go scoop for the boys? They are on wayup.io.
Way w a y u p dot i o. It's a good little marketplace. You just search "Melting Moon Boys" in there,
and the girls are in there. But I don't know that anybody has any listed for the girls.
So good luck with that. But yeah. We're excited, man. Like he said, if we don't get to fifty fifteen
fifty five soon, then we'll if we get the the launch ready or the swap ready,
we're like all everything's ready to go. We're just waiting to get to fifteen fifty five.
Then we may go ahead and just go on over, and it won't matter. Simple just posted a link, I think,
up top. Drinks, so you could go direct to it from that link or copy paste that if you'd rather.
But it is pretty simple to find it. I I found it. I ain't done. Pretty easy to use. If you,
I don't know if people have told you or if you are. This far along on the Cardano wallet,
you probably are, because Solana is very similar. But if you go from your browser in your wallet,
it certainly is much easier. I find that going to websites and then like trying to do
the connect wallet never works. So I always try to launch from my wallet,
unless I'm just investigating something. But if it's a place I know of
or somebody sends me to that I know, then generally I just open it from my wallet,
and you just connect your wallet, nice and easy. So. Like I said, Phantom's pretty similar,
and Backpack's probably about the same. So the Solano ones are pretty close. And yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'd love if KMac or Rod could come up. You guys got time? I see we got more new people. And Paul,
man, if you got anything going on with your business, brother, I'd love to hear you come in
and and speak up. And plus, everybody in here could hear some Irish, and that'd be fun. And P Nasty
and what is this, Crypto Granny? Oh, I see him. You guys are all more than welcome to come up.
Anybody. But yeah, if Rod wants to talk about his thing or talk about getting ready for Vegas,
or if K Mac wants to talk about yesterday or what he's got going on with podcast stuff,
you're more than welcome, man. It's it's what this space is about. So I see K Mac trying to come up,
so I will definitely let that guy. For those of you that just entered the room or whatever,
he's a local guy to me. And for the first time yesterday, him and another Web three friend
all got together for lunch and got to spend two or three hours together.
And it seemed like five minutes. And I can't wait to do it again. But me
and this guy are gonna get together and do some more things. And he's a ball of good energy
and good people to be around. I don't know if he made it up. I see Rod requesting. That's awesome.
K Mac requested. He lives where we get crappy. Reception sometimes, so he may have hit a dip.
But if he can get back up, and Rankin, I see you, buddy. I hope you're having a good week.
And if you can get up here too, man, you're more than welcome. I missed your space. What was it,
Tuesday? I think. But I think I caught part of it. But I had I was driving around,
so I didn't get to hear everything. And then I had to dip out. So I did get to catch a good part.
That's always a good time. But let me see. Who am I going to go to? Rod,
I'll go to you since you're here. And I saw an emoji, and it looks like maybe you can say hi.
And how's it going, buddy? Yo, yo, can you hear me? Okay, hundred percent. Six, six. Yo,
I pinned to the top just the most recent block that we that we minted on Cardano.
So we have a a stake pool, like Eric said, and it's great to be here with you all.
I am a Melting Moon Boys OG holder. I think I might have a girl or two, but I gotta check my wallet.
But anyway, yeah, Eric was kind of telling me about the move over to Solana,
and you know we've been out here doing a lot of IRL cross chain things for a little while.
So you know I I hold NFTs literally on every chain that I I I hold a Robinhood NFT.
Let's just put it that way, just one, because I'm already because you're an old dude. You know,
just yeah, you got to go and you got to check out what the ecosystem is like
and what it's what's happening where. And at the end of the day, you know,
like I think Solana is great for certain things. I think Cardano is great for certain things.
I think Ethereum is great for certain things. Bitcoin is great for certain things. You know,
it's going to be a future composed of, as as many of you know, you know,
I don't got to preach here to the choir, but it's just great to be amongst these vibes.
I definitely am looking forward to Rare Evo. You know, I I will be at the Cardano Foundation booth.
If anybody really wants to chat with me, I have to post up for a few a few hours because I am
an ambassador there, and they offered to to pay for my travel if I if I you know helped out
for a few hours. I was like, hell yeah, let's go! I was already going to Rare Evo, so you know,
little opportunities here or there for those that are interested in the ecosystem. And yeah,
I would love to to chat with anybody building on Solana. I mean, we're out here in San Diego, right?
So there's a lot of Solana developers and development happening out here,
and I honestly would love to see more. Kind of cross benefits to both Cardano and Solana holders.
So I like this idea of, you know, your collection existing on on both chains to some extent.
Because I don't know if all of the NFTs are moving over or if some will remain on Cardano.
But you know, I was thinking about some sort of minting something that did something on both chains
as being like a cool forward-facing cross-chain facing NFT culture. You know,
dust sort of allows for a lot of that thinking in my mind. The the midnight dust token
and how it works, and so I think anyway something like that where we can create
new ways for the tech to complement the tech and the holders to benefit, regardless of
where they want to park their their USD. And how they want to support, you know, what ecosystem,
what what type of development, and and for what reasons, you know, there's some chains that are
more artistic focused, and some are more in the RWAs, and some are more DeFi, DeGen stuff, and yeah,
it just it depends on what you want, how centralized do you want to be.
There has to be a a culture that acknowledges the benefits of of just what's at the extremes, right?
Like what's what's ultimately centralized and what's ultimately decentralized,
and and how are both actually not the solution. We need something in the middle middle ground,
right? Like Decentralization with some centralized control, you know that's why DAOs exist
and and even NFT communities. So anyway, I I believe in in this wholeheartedly.
I've devoted my time to managing a Web3 community and building a Web3 culture in San Diego for
the last like four years. And yeah, we're doing we're doing good. We're doing fun events.
We're we're honestly not starving for attention. We joined you know communities like for example,
we just got invited to co-host a Web3 event for Comic Con. It's gonna see like 50 people
that are gonna get like a meal and kind of show up and participate with the V friends
and do some pack rippings and stuff like that. And you know we're kind of bringing the Cardano
to that and the Midnight to that and just facilitating and helping the co-host.
And it's been kind of cool, just really growing this cross-chain community.
Because at first there was a lot of animosity. There was a lot of tribalism that I noted.
It was very palpable walking into a room and like, oh, well, I'm you know I'm this chain,
and so you suck. You know, I'm like, bro, I just I like this one. What do you want me to say?
I like your chain too, chill. You know, like your chain's fine if it's not a rug
and it's not a you know a pointless just clone of something else. I don't know.
I feel like there's values and fundamental technology that has to be acknowledged,
real community that has to be acknowledged, and so you know me, Eric. I'm working to bring it all
into the education world. And into this sort of live IRL networking world,
and the only the only thing that I ever ask is, yo, check out the ecosystem if you're in Cardano,
and and maybe give our stake pool a chance and stake with dreams because you'll power what
we're doing, which is really just given to the community. So anyway, man, much love to you, Eric,
for hosting this space. Shout out to everybody who's who's up here. I truly do believe in
this NFT culture that we're we're all here fostering. So let's let's keep it going. Yeah, bro.
You know I love you, buddy. I I sure hope I get out there because I should could sure use
some more time with you and a hug and some patio time and a lunch or two or some pool time
or something. The patio is the spot, bro. Hey, anybody who doesn't know,
you need to know that the patio is the spot, and then you'll you'll never find yourself isolated
if you're there. I'm showing up by myself this year, dude. Like nobody could make it from
from the crew. Nobody. Like I'm truly flying solo. I'm like shit. I'll be on that patio
chatting with whoever wants to chat. Well, simple, simple. I've already told him, man.
You find this guy, and you guys have got to spend some time together. At least, you know, ten
or twenty minutes out on the patio or by the pool or something, because we got to get together more
on some more things, Rod. If I know Rankin is a Cardano guy with the duck
with the purple backwards hat, he's a Solana guy, but. He's all chains,
but he's been in Cardonal for a while and knows some things. So definitely,
anybody in here that believes in this kind of thing that I talk about and what we talk about,
trying to onboard people and build these communities and do things together
and bring this positivity and shut down the bad actors and you know teach the good things.
Rod is a guy to tap in with. I promise you, he does a show every week. Like.
Both of us said for years he's been doing this card on ministry. Plus,
he's in all kinds of other spaces. He's—I'm pretty sure. Don't you have your signature
on the Constitution, Rod? Didn't you help come up with that thing? I know. I know it's not perfect,
but you know that's why we have revisions and things. But yo, and and talk about as an academic too,
right? Because I'm I'm a nerd for from my job and what I do, and and I don't teach, you know, civics
or like you know political science or anything, but but I think. I I know that all of my colleagues
like they dream of scenarios where they might contribute to something meaningful, community driven,
organic, and and reviewed right peer reviewed and and yeah debated man like we we were not
entirely happy with the document that that we ended up signing but. The whole idea of
of constitutional debt and shared governance and what it means to continue that work well
beyond that moment that sort of has become a part of the ethos that Cardano's taken on for me too.
Just looking at all the governance side of things and it's it's boring stuff. It's not degens stuff.
Like people are not gonna be fucking super excited about. Yay! I'm gonna go vote now. Right?
They hardly go vote in their communities. But can you make it appealing somehow or desirable?
If you feel that that the blockchain might succeed or fail because of your reasoning
and your due diligence, and and you, as you can support, right? Because it's also based on stake.
Then as you can support, vote yes, vote no, abstain, whatever you choose.
But like your your your voice finally matters in a in a significant way.
Is kind of the the philosophy of it, right? It's at the core of of that feeling.
And I know that shared governance is not perfect. On any blockchain yet,
but I think the point here is that we're trying to make strides towards a better version,
and so I applaud all that. And I just I try to look at the tools, I try to see what I can use,
and and now in the age of AI, I think it's really cool that I can even make my my own tools
to now use my own abstractions to bring in academics and people that. I don't think would touch
the stuff if it if it has the labels that are that are common right now, you know, DeFi
and and and yields and and all of these things. Like people will use the blockchain, in my opinion,
for different reasons, and so we just have to point them to the right reasons that are meaningful
to them. And so again, use AI to abstract that away and and bring AI and blockchain
into your communities. And I think that's how we see the next wave. And so yeah, you know,
it's about building all that out anyway. And and yeah, man, I appreciate you. Yeah, man. If you can,
Rod. Drop your YouTube channel down in the purple pill or up top or something,
and maybe we can get some people some traction over there. Because like the guy just drops knowledge
all the time. If it's blockchain things, if he doesn't know about it, then he'll go investigate it.
You know what I mean? Like if it's interesting and sounds like something worth investigating,
then this guy can go find out some good information. And like I said, it's just it's a dream
of getting as many people as we can to learn as much as they can and be able to move through
this technology and into the next gen. You know, on the safe side and stuff. Go ahead, Rod. No, no,
right. I was just gonna say, shamefully, I will not share the YouTube only because it's pretty,
pretty unused at the moment. Like, I actually made that my homework for this semester, for
this semester, for this summer. I got teacher brain on because my semester is about to start.
But you know, it kind of there's like a window of time where I can be hyper productive over
the summer, and then I got to go back into the classroom and do you know,
like like full time job duties, and and this all becomes part time. But I'm like, damn, I got it.
I got to make YouTube content that's like short clips. Like descriptive, sort of my way,
and trying to engage again an audience of people that I think I can onboard. And so, you know,
not not to be redundant, I guess was the point we were talking about earlier, too, right? Like,
how do you work with people so that you avoid redundancy? But anyway, yeah, dude,
let's we we got to team up communities, and we got to figure out what each community needs.
And then just deliver, and it doesn't matter what chain you you choose,
as long as you're on the Web3 side. Then anybody winning is everybody winning because it's so small
and so scattered and so not the mainstream. And we need more successful examples of like here's here
's how it works, and look, it works, right? Like this community is thriving,
this community's managing this this scale of funds, or this community is this size and it's global.
Look, it's you know anyway, whatever metric helps. To determine value for your community, yeah, man,
I I love that. So you know, good luck on the Solana chain. Good luck to anybody coming over
from Solana to Cardano to check it out. I encourage more cross-chain navigation.
And and if you are on Cardano and you want to find a good stake pool, yo, stake with Dreams.
And that would help us, and it helps everybody that we know, and that includes projects in Solana,
XRP, you know, ETH, et cetera, that we're partnering with boots on the ground to just do events
and help everybody because we all need it. So, if you look at my profile,
you'll see some quarterly events that we're doing, and the ones titled
Tokenized Matrix are literally include projects from like all across the ecosystem,
specifically XRP. And friends, and you know the the devotion one is is cross chain
with some ETH friends. There's another we we just did one with some friends over from from ETH
called Good Company. I was just met them. Oh, did she leave? I was just gonna bring that up
because a tree that was in here is up in Ohio, and she's like. She goes to events all
over the country, like six or seven big events every year. Oh shit! Okay, yeah. Um,
and I was going to mention to her about that because she's more of the type that would meet up
with people and sit down at dinner like that and just enjoy company for the evening. And she's
like I said, up in Ohio, and it seemed like on that list there was an event reasonably close to her
that she could probably travel to. So I I pinned it. I think I pinned it. Oh, there she is. Uh,
I think it's on Mike. I'll see if I can pin the full schedule. But yeah, it was super fun. Like.
The The group that met up was diverse. Everybody kind of doing their own thing, in in Web three.
Everybody very willing to just share their story,
and and of course like they're choosing restaurants that are very good.
So the the one that we went to in San Diego here, I've gone to before with my wife,
but but you know when the food's not on you, and you really get to enjoy everything that's on
the the menu. That's kind of the the whole idea behind this event. So it was great.
There was like 15 people there. I just pinned it to the top. You can see the photo,
and and in that photo, or or in the tweet that I pinned, you'll see the full schedule.
So they are going to make a few stops. And if they're coming to your neck of the woods,
then reach out to to Maha and and get added to the list because it is it is an RSVP thing.
But as you can see, it's it's very very small community, and they're just looking to to grow
an audience. And honestly, it wasn't shily at all. Like I ended up learning about the the NFTs that
they do all play around with. Mainly out of curiosity. At no point was it like,
let's show each other's you know projects. Now, it was organic questions about,
so what do you do in the space? Oh, you know, we we do X Y Z. Oh, cool. Like,
let me see your collections. And and if you vibe, you vibe, and if not, it's all good.
But you enjoy a good meal, you have a good chat. And and again, it's it's on this NFT
and community that's funding this whole trip. It's like twelve stops or something.
It's it's cross country. So they're probably coming somewhere near everybody. So check it out.
There's one coming to Chicago. I'm gonna tell Relic about that one. Yeah, dude,
just gotta go out there and mingle with those those others who are also building this
this Web3 thing. Yeah, I don't know if you caught that tree, but we were just talking to you
because when I was in his space the other night, he had just been to dinner with some people
that hosts these meetups all over the country, and they all just go sit and have dinner together,
this intimate group of people, and There was some places nearby you that I thought
maybe you could make, or maybe if they're not nearby you and you just wanted to go to that city,
so check that post pin that he's talking about up top, and you can see that project he's talking
about. And if anything interests you, you can try to get on the list and meet some more people.
And like Rod met some of them, and if I can, I'll try to get somewhere and meet them.
If nothing else, you know, if I can't get any, I don't know if you have to be a holder Rod or what,
but yeah, it's. No, no, no holding necessary. They literally are just like, just reach out,
and if you're in Web three doing anything in Web three, they they just want you to come and chat.
So yeah, it's very open, and you know everybody's super cool. Like honestly,
I everybody that I met was very kind, humble, like very very, you could tell passionate
about their involvement and and where they're at. It was just very, very respectful and very cool.
So I would definitely recommend it. Of course, you do get to do that whole like, hey,
you're meeting a total table of strangers. So there's a little bit of a social, social factor there.
Maybe some people get social anxiety, or, or you know, you may have to start with
small conversations with one or two people and then kind of get to the full table.
But whatever you choose, I mean, there's there's people there from all walks of life was what
I experienced, and some of them know each other, so they'll be extra like welcoming and hey,
you know, let's talk to the new people. So I got, I truly was like. Five stars, the whole planning,
the location, like the execution, the the community and the vibes. So if it comes back around,
it's coming, it's coming back to San Jose. I'm like shit, I can't make it all the way up there,
but I would, like, stay in the California bubble. But I, I maybe I could,
maybe it's a few hours away, I don't know. But anyway, I recommend it.
So definitely do check it out. Yeah, it it sounded pretty cool, and it's right up the same alley
as like what you guys do. It's just, I I think what I'd like to be doing and all that. Go ahead.
Well, and it's open, Eric, and it's open. So so you know we we could, for example,
like let's say you have a community out where you're at, and you're like, I could get like 10,
15 people. Then you can you can partner with them. Is kind of what we were talking about,
because I was like, obviously I want to do more of this in San Diego, and and moving up to LA
and stuff. And I don't know, maybe even at Vegas. Like if I if I had met them before,
I would have partnered up with them to do something right now that we're all going to be at Vegas.
For for like good company and the midnight community or something, right? But like anyway,
they they'll partner up with us is the point, and and they'll partner up with people
who are trying to do the IRL thing but may not have all the draw or they don't have
all the all the heads to account for. So they'll help, right? And they'll show up,
and and so it's it's this whole thing. It's very supportive in nature. So likewise, you know,
we've said it here, man. If you're if you're local in California somewhere,
I'll try to make it if it's within reason, like few hours away or whatever.
Like I'll I'll do my best. And and we're doing stuff down here in San Diego.
We've had people come all the way from like, you know, Sacramento area for an event. Like, I'm like,
damn, that's a commitment. Like, thank you guys. So it's hard, but it's part of the sort of nomad
Web three ethos. And and yeah, man, we got to we got to support each other how we can. So.
Get get on that tour, and Eric, if you think you have a community, you know, again,
we can we can reach out to them and partner up with them, or anybody else. It's like, yo,
we can definitely get twenty people in a room, even even if that is, you know,
a few a few friends who are curious about Web three, or or you know, family that that is curious
about Web three, and then sort of extend that out from there to strangers.
But if you can get A few of your of your closer community to come, then then you're already
it's already looking good because because you start seeing more heads you start seeing
more people there, people think okay this is this is a thriving community it's not a small group
of people it's just a very different ethos right both can work, but in this case we want to want to
we want to really show people that that Web three is diverse so like where are you building what
are you building is kind of the the focus so anyway dude yeah let's let's team up with them
yeah I we definitely have plans to try to create meetups and do all kinds of things like that so.
Yeah, you know I'll stay tapped in with you, Rod. It's I'm not in and seeing your continuous work,
but I definitely keep tabs on what you got going on and stuff. You and I, like I said,
been knowing each other a long time. I know you've been. Around so, and and you
and I want a lot of the same things in life and the world and the blockchains and crypto
and Web three and just the way we live. So, real quick, I want to say hi to Paul
and let him speak because he was up here and then fell out. And also, poor K Mac was in here
for a minute too and. I got to meet him yesterday, and I never did get a chance to let him up.
But he's a he's a Oklahoma guy, Rod, that I just got to meet. And then a California girl came out
to visit some people in Oklahoma, and she actually got us together, and we all met for lunch.
And two or three hours later, we were like, "Oh, I'm so sad that I don't get to spend
more time with you." And you know, so. We'll be looking for each other again,
but KMac is doing some podcast things, and he's a lively personality and a good old Oklahoma boy,
and very close to me. So, definitely stuff like that and getting some meetups together is something
we have planned to do. So, real quick, I want to say hi to Paul. Paul, go, buddy. I'm sorry. Myself,
how are you? I'm amazing and wonderful, sir. How are you? I'm good. I'm good. Thanks. Um,
do you know when you say real quick? Like I think I saw an episode a couple of episodes ago,
and it was like five plus hours. Yeah, we had a pretty long one. Sometimes we go pretty. So
why the fuck am I real quick? I know. I mean, you could take it, but Paul,
if you want to go on for an hour, brother, I will be right here. I haven't got to chat with you
in a long time. Yeah, it's been a while, dude. You were gonna send us some.
You were gonna send Simple's wife. Uh. Uh. Atomic vacuum machine, not too long back. So,
how's life going for you, buddy? Yeah, man, like it's it's cool. It's good. Like you know,
left Ireland, walked away, moved to Malta. I checked while you were waffling on
there a little bit earlier about the temperature over here to convert it to Fahrenheit,
and like the other day it was a hundred and seven, and the humidity was like ninety percent.
That makes you just instantly sweat as soon as you walk outside, doesn't it?
Like your whole body's just instantly soaking wet. I I would guess so, but like I ain't leaving.
I'm I'm staying here. Like you know, it's still cool. I'm staying inside when it's that hot.
But I didn't actually the other day, did' right? Um, there's this really really posh hotel down
at the end of Valletta, and my wife was getting a haircut, right? So I said, you know what,
I'll come join you, and we'll go for like maybe a bit of lunch or something if.
It was fucking roasting, right? It was like proper hot. This hotel was down like a big bunch
of steps, okay. And I went down, cold called the hotel, like, dude, I'm talking about
like Forbes top one hundred in the world hotel, right? And I walked in,
and I knew I was starting to sweat, like, cause it was hot. And I said, "Can I speak to?
" I checked out the the general manager's name, right? And I said, "Can I speak to such and such?
" And they're like, "Do you have an appointment?" No, I was like. Okay, let me check. Right,
and it took about twenty minutes or so before she actually came out. Right,
but in those twenty minutes, I managed to cool back down, so it was like good. Um,
and I I got to like meet this like cool general manager of one of the top hotels. Right,
and I walked out like so happy with myself. Right, and then I fucking realized. Right, it was oh,
let's say about one thirty in the afternoon in a Mediterranean rock. Right, it was
forty two degrees. I think. The steps weren't down anymore, dude. They were up. I was like,
"Oh my god!" By the time I got to the top, like. Anyway, that's my story.
Do you know what I've been enjoying listening to is like, your story about the caravans. Yeah,
I love the caravan life, man. I need to get out there. I I tried to get out on the road
the other day, and I had I got four hours away from home and had car trouble and got stuck in the.
Oh yeah, yeah. No, here, what was it? An air valve gasket is what's missing, I think, if I remember.
I was listening to earlier, going, "Oh my god!" I think it needs an intake gasket. Intake gasket,
that's what it is. But the real problem is that the clutches went out on the transmission. So, like,
it goes first gear, it shifts into second gear, and then about the like you're giving it gas
and throttle to go into third and fourth gear. And when it goes from second to third,
it just like slips into neutral and goes. You just gotta let off the gas and it comes,
it gets itself back in the second, and then you can go again. And that's I get about twenty-five,
thirty miles an hour. You're right, simple. I do need to tighten up. If I really got in that thing,
if I was really, really dedicated, I could get in that thing and drive it in second gear all the way
out to Vegas, and I would be there by Monday or Tuesday, probably, maybe,
if it didn't break itself in second gear and I was only stuck in first gear. But yeah, yeah.
And I see Lord Mills down there. Shout out to him. I've got to meet him two years in Vegas, and.
He has been with the guy that I was supposed to be delivering the stickers to in New Mexico. So
and yeah, good homie down there. I wish him the best. I know life throws us some curves from time
to time, and we we get a swing and a miss. So I definitely hope the best for you, brother,
and and things are going good. If I hope you can get out to Vegas, I don't know
if you're going to make it or not, but it would be cool if you could. And if I can get there
and see you again, man, go ahead, Paul. Yeah, it's weird, right? Like, you know,
we've both been here quite a long time, you know, and a lot of good shit and bad. So,
anybody remember the nodes? I was earning like two and a half grand a month on these nodes in
the first month, and then it all disappeared. Like, there's been such crazy shit in this, but um,
yeah, we've we've both been here a long time, but like, what I done last year was like start a real.
Sorry, I don't mean a real business. I mean A physical business rather
than you know being buzzing around on crypto for so long, and it's so different. It's crazy.
It's cool, but it's like a mirror image as well in some ways. It's weird.
There was a guy in here earlier, and we were talking about caravan things,
and he's we were talking about how like when COVID came and people started working online
and from home and stuff, and like. Since then, there's been a lot of people that like didn't go back
to work, and they've started living this van life. And plus, like housing and economy
and things are bad, so people have taken up this off-grid or this RV or camper lifestyle,
and using Web three and working online as they go. And this guy was talking about he had a friend
that traveled around in a in a Sprinter van and stayed on government land
and did his entire became a doctor. Like did all his school online and became a doctor
and like all has no student loans to pay nothing just took his time and went out there and lived
and enjoyed life easy and and yeah no it sounds like it sounds no it it actually sounds like nice
and some of the stuff you've experienced Eric is cool like you know you get spend time like on a bow
or in a nice property because you're the dude fixing up you brought your your tool bag
and off you go like but you still get to enjoy that shit. I I think that's like the physical side is
really important as well, like you know, um, like I think the dude's name is Rod from Dreams, um,
like he's talking about connecting and all this stuff, and that he went to a dinner party. Rod,
I'm not toward parties, speaking about you, like I know you're here, um, he went to a dinner party,
and it's like oh, there's these tables of people and stuff. When you're out there a little bit more,
instead of like in crypto, um. It's not like oh shit, there's a dinner party. Which table?
It's like okay, which is the funnest table, so I can go over there, and if not join it,
hang around it at least, lurk a little bit. Yeah, you're exactly right. When you're when you're out
and about and you're talking to every stranger that walks by, like going to dinner with a bunch
of strangers is not that difficult, especially like if you've had any interaction online before
or anything like that. So true. I I try to strike up conversation with everybody I walk past
whenever I'm out in the world. So. To me, there is no strangers out there. So, Rod can tell you too.
He knows the people I'm talking about that have the boat and the properties,
and he knows he knows their stuff needs work. And he knows I was out there on that boat.
He might have been on that boat before, seen it. He's seen pictures of it for sure,
and he knows those people and how amazing they are. And that's just man. I just find more
and more people like that. Tree just came back up. She's a. Phenomenal.
She she's out meeting people all year long, so she's all about it. And what's cool is like she's
my generation, and so like us going out there, we're kind of that gap between these younger kids
and these old older retired people, the the baby boomers and stuff. And like we love the technology,
and we still are like these 80s babies having fun and stuff. So we kind of are the Dgens in there
that can use apps, but like we're not as good as kids with the technology,
but we're still pretty damn good at it, and and we know enough about finances and the world
and the narrative and things and what like really matters and how you can really get ahead
in the world and that kind of thing. So, dude, before I leave, right, because I'm gonna pop off now.
It's it's actually ten to twelve at night over here, Malta. Like, but um,
you you talk about my atomic vacuum cleaner, right? What it is is Something that you can offer
a hotel or a restaurant, right? And it's chemical-free cleaning, right?
It cleans much more efficient and kind of like hygienic than chemicals. You remove the chemicals,
job done. There's a lot more behind it, but I just wanted to get it in there.
It's not atomic vacuum cleaner. It's called the Green Clean Concepts, right?
And it's cleaning everything around you without using chemicals, as much as like if you know you
you jump in the shower, you ladder up with soap. You don't get out while you're full of soap
and dry yourself off, but we do that with all our environment. So remove all that shit,
and it makes a huge impact on like the groundwater table. Like the amount of chemicals less
that are going in. Like you're not storing chemicals in plastic containers, so microplastics are.
You know, it makes a difference there, but it's also healthy for the people
that are actually cleaning the hard workers. So yeah, there you go, and um. Have a good night, dude.
It's nice to talk to you. It's always amazing to talk to you, brother. I wish that one of
these days, man, I'm gonna have a passport and I'm gonna travel around. And there,
there's a double handful of you that I want to see all over the world, and man.
Malta is a place that, like, I would just want to go to Malta. It's one of those places
I want to visit in the first place. So I definitely have a good reason,
and I know I got a good homie that would come to dinner with me and give me a hug
when I get over there and all that. So I, I certainly appreciate you rolling through, brother.
I hope you get amazing rest and have an amazing weekend. And yeah, stay tuned.
I don't know if you heard, but this Melting Moon project that I work with,
we're moving over to Salana. So we're we're Making a a pretty good switch. I did see.
I did see actually, and the the fact that it's on Cardano, I kind of bookmarked it there earlier
because, like, I've listened to Mister Melty there like maybe three or four episodes ago. Cool dude,
cool project. So yeah, um, yeah, I'll I'll take a look in a short while. Well,
we uh we definitely are gonna keep some. Cardano community around. We got a lot of homies that've
been there for a long time, and and we want to have ways where like those people
from Cardano can still earn and and profit and be happy. They're part of the community and stuff.
So we're definitely not leaving there. We just for an NFT project. We decided that.
Solana would probably get us more traction, and if we can get these mints done
and get this traction, then we can earn the money that we want to put into our investments and our,
you know, planning these meetups and these things, all these things we got going to try to.
Promote people and build each other, and get you know pay back our holders and all that.
So stay tuned if you want. If not, at least hang out with me. Come in to the space, man.
I'll let you up any time. And I wish you the best on the vacuums. I definitely. The fucking vacuums.
You need to come in sometime when you can really talk about it because I I think it's
an amazing thing. You know what I mean? The fucking vacuums, you said. They're amazing.
I think chemical-free stuff that keeps the workers that are actually using that stuff
and cleaning hotels safer and making a cleaner environment for the people that come in is always
better, man. That's in my mind. So I love what you're doing, and bro, if we can get people from all
over the world to help support your little thing going on out there in Malta,
and then we can stretch it across the planet. That's what I want to see happen. So keep coming by
and saying hi every once in a while, and let me know what you got going on, or ping me in some posts
or something. Thanks, dude. Um, have a good night. Right, I appreciate you.
Like what you're doing here on these um, what would you call them on Twitter, like talks
or something like you know spaces? Yeah, I appreciate it. Like I do enjoy them.
I like the way you you have that connectivity between different kind of crypto people. Um,
it's pretty cool. I appreciate you, brother. You uh, you're definitely one of my longtime homies.
If you guys don't know this guy, like. First days of Book IO and way back in Cornucopias
when it was first getting started, and he's rocking my buddy Hatter PFP at one of his NFTs,
and he's one of my longtime great people that I love in the space, and one of my people
I want to meet, and yeah, yeah, a lot of kind souls around here, brother, a lot of them. Anyway,
I'll pop out so Mrs. Tree can come in. All right, have a good night. All right, buddy, rest well.
Love you. Love you too, dude. Tree, are you coming in, Rod? You still there? Yeah, I'm here. Yeah,
I I wanted to say it's great. I I love seeing that um you got to see Quack and K Mac in person.
That's so awesome. So I can't wait to meet them and you as well and all you guys.
Hopefully we can all meet up in in real life here sometime. Hopefully this year.
That's the way to do it. Yeah, I'm all about it. Uh, Tree, you gotta tap in with Rod
and and there may be a thing where that uh. He helped plan the thing that I was talking about that
was in Chicago, and he mentioned Relic was a different deal than that deal he pinned up top.
It was the thing I was supposed to go to last October. He mentioned the guy that hosted that,
and I was telling her Rod that she's one of those people that if I was able to make it up there
to Chicago, or maybe even if I wasn't, she would. I think those that group would like her,
and she would like them, and that would be a good connection if she, if she, if he,
if Relic does that again. Do you know if he's going to host that this year, Rod?
I would encourage him to, but he's been a little bit absent the space,
kind of focused on community building in the gaming space. Like, I don't know if you remember,
he was doing some like soda things with his brother, and he's running like a D and D group.
So he's he's been a little bit off the Web three, but I have no doubt that he would, you know,
go to a meetup or even host another one of those, that we we couldn't sort of use his his place
there to kind of plan something collaborative, but. Yeah, no, definitely. Let's let's plan
more stuff together. I really only have Rare Evo on my radar right now, and then honestly,
some of the stuff that we're doing locally, like an event in September
or whatever out here in San Diego. But I do want to go to more of the conferences that
I I keep hearing I should go to. So you know, I I'm I'm all ears, and maybe it's just
a cross community networking time. Like it could be anything really. We'll tap in
with drinks there too. I'm not going to dox him here, but he's he's definitely in Cali,
and I think probably fairly close to you. So, yeah, and he's a super good guy, and and a attorney,
and all very knowledgeable about. He's like a trivia master. He's like world's most interesting man.
He's a he's a great fellow. So definitely tap in with him, and if you guys could connect somehow,
that'd be amazing. So. Yeah. Yeah. Hell yeah. Definitely. Would love to chat with anybody
just looking to build. Rankin's in California too, I think, but I think he's farther up north and.
And then that girl I had lunch with yesterday. I want Dan and Angie to meet up with her
and her partner because they're looking at a vineyard somewhere up there,
and they are really into health and wellness, and they want to have a retreat center,
and it'll be a thing that holders have some special perks for, and different things like that.
So like right down that same alley is what Dan and Angie do. So. And she was just wonderful,
and I'm sure her partner is just as wonderful. And but they're farther up; they're up in
Humboldt County area. So, but if Dan and Angie could get up there, they could all meet in the middle
somewhere, and you could be with them. That would be. I think you guys could make a good connection
there. A lot of like-mindedness and just super people. So, keep hanging around, buddy. I'll come in.
I'll point people at ministry space and whatever you got going on. Devin,
once you get your video editing and your AI bots that do all that. Editing for you,
and it's a simple template process. Hit me up, brother, because I need to use it,
and I got we got all kinds of plans for multi media that we want to like stuff like your content
is stuff we want to try to push around along with just music and other things,
but like useful content, like. Working Dead was gonna do back in the day, brother. You know, like
where you can go to those stores and have it. So, oh my God, yes, yes.
We honestly need something like that, and that's kind of. So you you know I was close to Sean,
and everything that went down as it went down, man. R.I.P. To to that guy.
He was he was really cool. It's truly sad what happened there because that project I saw
so much promise in. I know there's competitors. There's other ones that are doing
some similar stuff. But just the vision that Sean had, a lot of the things that he
and I talked about, where where we could see integration, dude, that one hit really hard.
And he was so young too, so you're like, fuck, this is—you never really know how much time you have.
So you know, just I fucking went into the back cave, dude, and and without intending to make
and and a learning management system, because that's not really what I made. Instead,
what I'm making is sort of a curated experience for onboarding, right? So, like, yes,
it's education focused, and you do get a lot of definitions, but it's it's gamified, right? So,
like, you know, you you start you start the the quote unquote quest, which which is linked to
my real courses. So, my students will be using this at the college.
And it's not currently connected to blockchain, but I am going to add those dimensions to it
over time. But it's more of just like a gamified HUD for my students to do certain things, right?
Like one of those things is they need to understand my AI policy for my course because that's
just such a fundamental aspect of going to school at the moment. That you know,
there's some teachers that don't even have one here. I've designed an entire game using AI
around one, right? So like, it's just kind of crazy where you can really put your passion behind,
and it's coming together as this. Perfect in my mind, like onboarding a tool that first asks you,
you know, to choose a character. It's just a two two choices at the moment, and then to study,
right? So there's some quests that you can take to study, and you know,
there's there's right now at the moment I only have some Cardano quests.
There's nine mini Cardano lessons, and then there's the Midnight quests, which is not six.
Mini Midnight lessons, and when you unlock those, right? Then, then you get like a little pop-up
that says that you can now go to the Grow tab, which is another section
where basically they can learn about minting NFTs or like what NFTs are, real-world assets
and tokenization, et cetera, et cetera, right? All the technology side of it.
And then once they've acquired that, then they get access to a sort of in-house minter that
I've made, so like a minting page where you can just mint from inside this DApp.
If you already have an artwork, just kind of experiment. To play around with it is the point
for them, but then also to mint badges that you can collect internally as you complete
all these lessons, right? So like, yeah, there's all these different engagement platforms
and management platforms, and so you know there's aspects of those in this tool,
but it's it's so much more than that, and it's grounded in really AI literacy.
So you can't really do anything until you take the first nine AI lessons, and then
once you've unlocked those, then you can sort of look at other stuff. But its purpose is
pretty specific from for my students. But then imagine all of these options now that will be there
for when they want to learn, because there is a blockchain path. And you go, oh well,
what's down that blockchain path? Oh, I see here Cardano and Midnight. Okay,
well let me study Cardano. What's that about? Oh, I see what is cryptocurrency. What is Cardano?
Forge your wallet. Meet Ada. Web three identity. Stake with Dreams. Understanding NFT minting.
And then raise your voice for shared governance. So a little bit of everything, right?
Like here's like a full plate of what you can do in Web three.
And and you know I'm I'm still kind of developing it even as we speak because it's just been
my pet project, but we're getting so close to the semester. I'm like I think I could have
a working version by the time I start the semester. So I've I've made small badges like collect
your your attunement journal, your your satchel, your backpack, and your dreamcatcher,
which is a charm, and each one. Apologies, a call came through. Maybe that I cut off, but anyway,
three main charms, and if you don't have those, then you can't proceed
because the the the third charm, for example, it's kind of like a little bit of an assessment.
It says, Calvino invites us to see narrative as combinatorial play. Many stories, many mediums,
many rhetorical effects. This course frames writing as entering that multiverse of forms, right?
So like, if they haven't passed the little quiz. That certifies that they've understood that fact,
then they can't claim this object and hence cannot continue through the course. So there's
little checkpoints like that that are not really currently NFT token gates or anything,
but that they could be down the road, right? Like I could say, okay, you know what?
This charm that you got is actually an NFT badge, and you can equip it to your character.
So is the satchel and the journal, and then having those unlocks other token gated content.
So it's just kind of cool that that we can start to do stuff like this. More on our own. I know,
I know. Finding developers has been very hard on on the Cardano side. I don't know about
the Solana side because there's tons of resources for building on Solana
and building on other chains. But I'm hard headed, so I was like, I'm gonna do the shit on Cardano.
So here I am, beating my head against the desk, trying to simplify it for others. But anyway, yeah,
it's this tool, man, that I've been building out. And in the avatar section,
because you'll be able to kind of switch around the the objects that the character has.
There's one section I'm particularly proud of because you know that I made Morpheus. So Morpheus,
it will be the chatbot assistant that you can that you can click here on
and just kind of learn from this agent LLM with a harness is what Morpheus ends up being.
So it's it has very tight parameters and it's constrained in a lot of ways. It cites sources.
It's it's redundant, et cetera. It's it sort of avoids redundancy. It's very rhetorical.
And then two tools that I made with AI. One to help students get unstuck when they're stuck,
so I called it a Decision Explorer. So literally, you put in a subject, and it gives you a strawman
and steelman sort of a take on that on that subject. And then a writing feedback one
that's not meant to grade your paper, but rather there's like far too often that in my classes.
Students are just like maybe they're missing one page, or maybe they're missing
like you didn't use dialogue, or maybe they're missing like you didn't apply this theory
or something, right? And it has nothing nothing to do with the the quality of the writing itself
is good, but you you don't have these fundamental parts that you need.
That's what this this thing would do. So if they have their draft ready to go, they would upload it.
My AI system here would would vet it. And tell them, hey, you know this looks great.
Here's where you're killing it. Here's where you need some help. By the way, you don't have this,
this, and this, so you're gonna fail this assignment, right? Like, like give them,
give them that support is kind of the idea here. So, none of that currently is is blockchain
again connected. It's all just kind of AI and and vibe coding, but. Again,
I see a situation here where we we might now token gate all of this behind an NFT,
and and start there, or or or a token or whatever a policy idea of some kind. But anyway,
using the tech is what I'm into these days, and trying to figure out like you like you said before,
for meetups we were like okay, well we do meetups, but we don't have poaps on Cardano,
so what do we do? How do we airdrop something? How do we make a badge, mint it?
You just got your ticket, checking at the door. It's tedious sometimes,
but like the point is you're trying it out as the solutions are developed. So, yeah, man,
I can't wait to show this to you, maybe in person. I can kind of pull up my computer
if it's not published to the web by then. But I'm gonna keep working on it.
And if you have any suggestions for like what a learning HUD should have,
obviously like a display for your NFTs or an understanding of DeFi that's very safe,
stuff like that. But anyway, it's it's a cool moment. So I'm happy to share and collab
and work with others. Yeah, I I like it. I've heard you talking about some of it,
and it's pretty cool. And you know, Panic. It reminds me a lot of Loony that he's building.
It's like a local LLM, or it's a local agent that you keep on your machine.
And she's like a child that just knows how to breathe and and talk, or not talk, but you know,
can understand your communications. And then basically, you teach her everything.
And any agent you use. Would then she would be able to learn from whatever its resources were. So,
like, if you had Grok doing something for you and you let Lumi look at it,
then Lumi would see where Grok got his information from, and then be able.
She would be able to then learn from that same source, and so she would grow as you use
different agents and use her and all that stuff. So similar, but yours is onboarding and learning
and and like. Like I said, we we have a lot of plans to do media company things for Melting Moons,
and part of it is just getting artists out there and promoting them and playing their music,
and part of it is like onboarding, and part of it is you know how do you get in this Club
that is part of a real estate venture, have this club that's a trading club
or whatever the case may be, and then like I said, people that have good quality content
and good information can land their stuff there, and then it can be gated by holder things,
and it can be our stuff or like if they're coming to see your stuff, it could be something that
you have or a ticket that they have to get somewhere or whatever. So. Yeah, man,
the the possibilities are endless. And if you can stay at it on the on the Cardano
and Midnight building side and learn all about the chain and the smart contracts and keep going
and how to code on there, bro, you'll be like one of those legends that knows everything
about the whole chain. And And there won't be no questions you can't answer. So,
I'm proud of you for sticking in there, man. Like I said, I definitely am still
a diehard Cardano guy, but just for this particular thing, it's I think it's going to work out
for us. So, and we're going to get a lot of Pollination, man. Cross-chain pollination out
of the deal. We already have. There's probably probably at least seventy-five,
eighty percent of the Moon Girl mints are people from a chain outside of Cardano, mostly Solana.
So a lot of liquidity shifting around in this process, and that was like what we set out to do, man.
You know, so we've we've got a work in progress that is like proving itself as it goes,
and hopefully. When we cross over, we can still carry a lot of Cardinal community over there,
and I know we will carry. You know, there's some Jimmy Bones and Jeff Dukes,
and we got we got a good handful of people that will still support us and what we're doing.
And I think if you support the project or the people in it or the the art or whatever they're doing,
the message they're sharing, then I mean, it's hard to lose, man. As long as those people
continue to Do things, you know what I mean. As long as they're gonna build,
I don't care what chain you go to. I don't care if you quit doing crypto and go strictly fiat.
I wish you could do it different, but you know, whatever you got to do to keep your business
sustainable and your holders, you know, where you want them to be is is the the end goal. So.
I I've met a lot of good people on this soul chain, Rod. Since I saw you last year, brothers,
there's been a lot of people that I've met on this other chain that are just out here doing
the same stuff you're doing and trying to and building. So and there's Quack.
That's who I got to meet yesterday. Phenomenal, Quack. This Rod that I'm talking to,
I don't know if you can hear me. Hopefully you can, but he's one of my California,
San Diego friends, onboarding, doing meetups, all those things, and he's good friends with Dan
and Andy, who I'd like for you to connect with. So that's tap in with her, Rod, and and that group.
What up, Quack? Quack, Quack. What up, Quack, Quack? That's her collection. That PFP she's rocking,
and they've got some dope art. I don't know if that's AI created, but it's pretty cool.
It looks kind of like your PFP, Rod. So. Two birds of a feather. Let's go. Yeah,
she's super good people, and I'd like to meet her partner. I'm sure he's amazing as well.
And where they live up there, I'd love to see it. She was talking about how, like,
the generation of of hippies that left the Bay Area and moved up north and started all that
Humboldt County movement and living out in the woods and off grid and all that.
Like they built up a whole big thing there. And she was talking about like that generation is
all old and retired and can't hardly farm and build anymore. And Well,
she said they are surprisingly strong for as old as they are. They do still get out there
and do stuff, but like they're getting to the point where they can't maintain those properties
and stuff anymore. And their kids, the next generation, just doesn't want them. And it's like, man,
she said, like property is actually there's some pretty good deals to be had
because these older people are getting rid of these properties that their kids don't want
and they're getting too old to take care of them. So. I don't know, man.
She's got a good thing going on. They've got their eye on a vineyard, and I'd like to see her
and her group, and Dan and Angie, and you guys all be able to meet up and hook up. And I said,
ranking is between you guys, and drinks is between you guys, and tree travels all over,
and Melting Moon's gonna be in Vegas. You guys have got to sit down at least, like I said,
spend some time on the patio together. If not, go to dinner or lunch or some somewhere together
because I think there's a lot of things, Rod, that you and Simple could tap in together on,
and work together in the future, and promote each other, and do all the things. So, I definitely,
if I can't get there, man, if I can, I know I'll see you. I'll be looking for you. You will.
You will be there. You will be there. We're gonna manifest it, buddy. We're gonna manifest it.
And you'll facilitate the dinner, and and yeah, man, let's hang and let's chat
and let's let's just grow this thing organically, boots on the ground,
like real people building it out. I'm I'm I'm here for it. I'm gonna play your song
before this space is out, or before you go, so other people can manifest with us.
But I gotta look for it real quick. Yo, shout out the homie Drew, who who made that song. You know,
it's it's a some AI power with some human creativity, and it was kind of early
in the the Suno movement. That's that's currently. Getting way more complex.
Like I don't make stuff on Suno these days anymore either, man. Because they gave
just so much control. Now it's like, wait, wait. This is I could just go pick up a guitar
and make some music for myself. You know what I mean? But but anyway, it's cool, man.
What you can do. This is an early example of a song he wrote for our Stakepool, which I love.
Dream Stakepool, baby, let's go. If you're on Cardano, check us out and and stake with dreams. Yeah,
Drew's awesome, man. Simple does the Melting Moons guy there. He used to like back in the day.
He did some mixing and some doing some tracks and different things. And he's a big music guy.
And he's got into doing some AI tracks or taking some of his old tracks
and running it through AI to clean it up or whatever. And he, hold on a second. Sorry,
I'm trying to look for your song at the same time as I chat here, but.
We've got a lot of people that have been creating tracks for the moons that are making AI music
and stuff. But that Goat Tribe stuff is some of the best stuff around, I think. So,
in my my personal, that's how I feel about it. But it's on Spotify. It's on YouTube.
It's it's in some places. Might be on Apple Music. I'm not sure. I got a sticker that I scan a code
and it takes me to the website and lets me play it. But I can't do it right now because I'm on
my phone. So I'm having to look it up. Sorry for the little delay here, but.
I would like to play it. I would like to try to manifest some, some, some Vegas dreams
and find my way there. So, let's do it. I love it. Go ahead, buddy. No, I,
I hope that you can manifest it and that you do make it. And yeah, I, I don't. I think well,
this would be the third one that we would have been at, or only second.
This would be my fourth time out there, but I. Think I might have crossed paths with you year
before last. Okay. Okay. You know we spent all kinds of time together last year, so. Yeah, yeah,
dude. And thanks again for for all the the scannable stuff and all the the um uh NFC chip ideas
and everything. I have so many ideas that I want to execute. Uh, anyway,
we should maybe talk while we're in Vegas. Uh, about some of those. Definitely,
and if I don't make it, and you get to chat with uh simple down there, um, like he's.
The project is helping me with my merch stuff, so like that's part of the.
And then my merch stuff will in turn help the project, and blah blah blah. But definitely, like I,
there's all kinds of stuff I'd like to make for you in the future, and there's all kinds of things
that I have since I met you last year, and like I've acquired since then.
So I'm going to be able to do a lot more things here before too long, and. Yeah, man.
There's a lot more coming as far as my printer bot and merch things and all that,
but a lot of that's going to run through Melting Moons. And but yeah, the the cards.
I've discovered that now I can make a metal business card and sublimate on both sides,
so I could put like a full color graphic on both sides, and probably have your QR or something.
And And they're like pretty reasonable for that kind of thing. So. Definitely,
some more things coming down the pipeline. I got a 3D printer now. I got a sublimation printer.
If we can get more funds generated, there may be more printers. And my son
and I are thinking about trying to find a shop and some space. He wants a shop to work on vehicles,
and I could maybe have a little office space in the same building and like really,
really get after it and start doing some professional things. So. Definitely. If I don't see you,
Rob, man, or when I see you, we'll talk more about it. How about that? That's the right attitude.
Hell yeah, man! Manifest it. Let's go. All right, I got your song. Let me see if it's gonna throw
an ad at me. It did. I'm glad I had it muted. So once the ad plays, I will. Play your song.
I don't know how much longer you got, Rob, but shout out to you for coming in, man.
You got all kinds of great alpha. You're a superhuman being. I've been, I've hung out with his wife,
his kids. We've sat by the pool. We've had dinner together. We've done all the things, man.
Good people. Been building around here for a long time, and like you said, four or five years
hosting spaces, doing meetups, trying to onboard people and teach people the goodness
and What what we can do with crypto and Web three and all that. So, shout out to you, Rod.
I'm gonna play your song, and if you can hang around and chat some more, cool. CK,
I see you down there, buddy. If you can come up, you're more than welcome.
It's always a good time listening to you ramble and go on and bring the good energy. So, throw a mic
or a hand up for a mic if you want. If not, then it's all good, brother. Just hang out and listen.
Somebody just message maybe. So, you guys might be rubbing a little bit, but yeah, here we go.
Have you ever stick to dreams? You got any ideas? We gon' manifest our dreams.
Build this world by any means. Everything's not what it seems. When these fucking crazy dreams. Hey,
when you sleep, do you dream and remember? When you wake up, see for me,
guaranteed that reality is made up 'cause I dream while awake. Though when I am sleeping,
dreams is where the snake is educating. What you're seeing, teaching noobs about crypto.
And I ain't gonna talk around the fact that I'm smashing other adults like little work together
peer to peer till riches start to appear. No, please don't interfere with the dream I'm having here.
Crypto connoisseurs, yeah we're taking the leap, holding big bags and know we ain't cheap.
But this dream has to end when I go to sleep. So goodnight, G N. Don't be going to the place
I dream. Build this world by any means. Everything's not what it seems. When you smoke
and graze the trees. Ooh, I have done that 100%. Yeah. Have you ever had a dream that you were sure
it was real? Believing it so much, trying to conceal that you spend your time
and money thinking it's a deal. Only to get wrecked. Come let me give you my spiel.
Sometimes dreams take a turn for better or worse. Fake friends and real foes. Yeah man,
they're a curse. But out of the dark comes a surprise. My brother Rod, dreams on the rise,
holding events, hosting meetups, free NFTs. Yeah, he's gon' treat us to beers and some food.
He's setting the mood. Then we go for drinks, we network and do it. Thank God for my homie,
he's really a go. Even a deep red. Make sure you go far and fulfill your dreams.
Build this world by any means. Everything's not what it seems. Like you smoking grains of truth.
Stay with DRMZ on Cardano. Yeah, shout out Drew again, man. Thank you for playing that.
That is such a great song, man. I don't care if you're in crypto or not. That's that just
if you're into any kind of thinking positive and manifesting your reality, that song just hits, man.
It's a and it talks about your your onboarding and you know just what you're about, man.
So it's it's pretty cool. That's Rod's song. If, like I said, if you got some Cardano
and you're looking for a stake pool, this guy is definitely worth a look. So, good,
good freaking people. And the more his pool generates, the more people learn. You know what I mean?
Like the more good onboarding happens. So, just that's what he's about.
And you guys got a little taste of it. I hope everybody in here gets to meet the guy someday.
I hope I get to meet everybody in here. CK, I see you, brother. What's up? What's up, Eric?
Shout out to you, bro. I'm I'm gonna take a real quick drink of water here. One second. Do it,
do it, do it. Gluck, here we go! Shout out to the wind chimes, man. For folks that don't know,
people keep saying Eric, Mister Threadgill himself, should really consider calling himself Chimes
because, man. Almost every time that I'm in one of these rooms with him. Now,
recently he had some some serious adventures, bro. He got in his suburban
or whatever the hell he's got, decided to try to ride across this great nation of America. Which,
if you do not know, kind of like Australia, it's big AF. There's a lot of lot of space.
Those those little pistons have to go up and down. Combustion reactions have to keep up the game
for a long time. And sometimes it's just too much, and they gotta quit. So our boy Eric had to.
Overnight in in in a parking lot, but as as is the way, what did he find? The soul of America, man.
Do not get it twisted. We are better than our leadership, whether it's the president
or it's Elizabeth Warren. They both fucking up our situation, man. They're all bought and paid for.
Don't don't give these people an inch. And you know where we find our freedom as well,
right here in spaces like this, where we disseminate the information that leads to liberty,
like stake into a pool, like D R M Z. Our boy Rod is out there passing forward the knowledge
to the next generation, saying, hey guys, uh. Artificial intelligence is advancing rapidly.
You want to learn together? Hey guys, blockchain seems like it's going to be
the native monetization layer for all this awesome value creation in AI.
You want to learn that together? So definitely, man, we got to support folks that are out here
running the infrastructure of freedom, carrying forward that Promethean fire of freedom lit by
Satoshi Nakamoto, and we do that by sharing knowledge. And we also share vibes, we share culture,
we lift each other up, 'cause many hands make for light work. Man, I see Money Miller down there,
also a gentleman creating really, really cool things on all kinds of, all kinds of blockchain, bro.
Oh my gosh, bro, we got Mill, we got Mill here, Mill Mascadas. Y'all might not know this gentleman,
he's a big fan of Bitcoin, big believer, but he's also a believer in education, man.
That's one of the things that I really respect about Mill, is he's out here empowering himself
with knowledge. So yeah, man. Welcome, welcome to the room, bro. You're in really great company.
Yeah, Eric. So bullish again on on where where clarity act is coming now. I know, you know,
we all know it's it's a banker's bill. The cook is in. But at the end of the day, see,
here's here's the thing, bro. It frustrates the holy living Buddha out of me
when like Elizabeth Warren's gonna get out there and say, oh, we can't pass this crypto bill
because maybe a corrupt dude is gonna do corrupt shit. Well, it's like, well, great.
But imagine if at the very least we lock the macro game into a universal state of fair play.
Like again, no matter how corrupt the President of the United States is guess what
he can't do change the 21 million Bitcoin set right say he can't change the 84 million Litecoin set
he can't change the 45 billion Cardano ADA set right and so within there
when you actually open yourself up to that UTXO interoperability and whatnot at least that
macro game is fair so even if we've got cheaters playing in those individual games they can't change
the the game of chess. Whereas Elizabeth Warren's out here saying, "Hey,
let's keep all the corruption, all of the cheaters, and then have them playing a cheat,
corrupt game, fiat, where someone out here owns a printer." It's like, "Damn it, Elizabeth,
I'm fine, you know, competing with a dastardly bastard. At least I know what time it is.
I know he's going to cheat, but at least let me play a game that he can't corrupt, you know.
" So Elizabeth, come correct, come with respect, understand. There's a better way forward.
We can actually have free hearts and free minds and free markets out here that can actually advance
the state of economic fair play for all people, man. So yeah, so all of which is to say
that I actually do think Clarity Act is likely to to get passed. We'll see, we'll see.
But apparently, the ethics provision, which was one of the main sticking points
from the Democrat side, that was now included. We know we got you know election season in November,
which is a powerful forcing function. You know, again, not ascribing good
or bad to the current party, but the the the Bitcoin and blockchain community. Really did come out
and support the current administration. So if I was the current administration,
I sure would want crypto and blockchain and Bitcoin natives to be feeling good about things,
which is to me one of those reasons why Clarity Act is probably going to have a will to get
it passed. And as soon as we see that, bro, because what they can't do,
the the the legacy is sort of written for where the dollar is going. The printer
is going to go burr. I think just 48 hours ago, we I saw some a request basically for
1.5 trillion dollars. From the Defense Department or Department of War, whichever you want to go.
But again, when we have 1.5 trillion is the ask on the defense side. We know we're we're printing
an additional billion dollars a day every day that Iran operations are going on.
Which what does all this mean? It means that the dollar is losing its argument
as an international unit of account. If I put my I'm Russia hat on, or I put my China hat on,
or any of these, you know, international, you know, participants in the market,
what is their incentive to hold dollars if they know
Americans themselves are going to be shooting themselves in the foot by printing it into oblivion?
So suddenly, if I'm Russia or I'm China, I'm going, bro, do we have a better asset that we can do
international trade with? Enter Bitcoin, baby, which is what Clarity Act lines up. Again,
I'm not the one that's gonna miss the fact that yes, the bankers have already bought a lot
of the legislation. They're afraid of free market competition with stablecoin yield. But low key,
you know it's really great. They can pass all the laws that they want,
but they actually can't stop it. We can make yield on stablecoins, and we will.
It does not matter whether our little patch of dirt in America decides we want to be, you know,
we want to trap the American public in with corrupt people and banks. You know, liberty, liberty
and freedom is going to win. Open source code is what it is. It's unstoppable. So yeah, man,
I'm bullish on that. That I think Clarity Act ultimately, even Elizabeth Warren,
I think behind the scenes is going to realize, oh my gosh. If we don't empower Bitcoin
and blockchain and cryptocurrency technologies, what do we do? We watch America slide further
and further from dominance in international trade because we have to print more dollars. We have to.
That's what Larry Fink was warning us about when he was saying, "Guys, 1929, which is when
the Great Depression kicked off." Is starting to really rhyme with 2029,
and if you look at the housing market in the United States, is that an all-time high?
It's never been higher, and yet we also have less buyers than ever before. And when we
and for folks that know how real estate is basically used as personal banks in America.
When we start getting that real estate unwinding, that 30 to 40 percent correction in real estate,
that's not going to stop with houses, guys. And when we look at the overvaluation
of traditional equities trading on Wall Street, that also is a serious piper to pay. So
when Larry Fink is looking at this, these inflated and irrational valuations,
there are very few safe harbors. But one of them, and the chief safe harbor,
is right here in Bitcoin, in Cardano, in Litecoin, hard cap supply, UTXO-based assets
with global decentralization and distribution of the validation and consensus.
We will be the fortress fund when winter comes, and unfortunately, it will come.
We are that safe harbor, so we're well positioned, right? But as they say,
markets can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent. But even they know
they can't keep kicking this can because the printer has to go burr. Because just paying
the interest on our national debt—if you look, it is now more than the gross domestic product of
the United States—and which is why Larry Fink was ringing the bell, saying, "Guys,
we need to start getting domestic value creation happening. We need to start empowering
AI data centers." Cryptocurrency, space exploration, all of that. The the American economy
has to cook hotter and faster than ever before in history to prevent the greatest depression
to come. For my money, honestly, I think even Larry Fink knows we aren't going to avoid it.
We are going to get hit. It's just a matter of how much can we blunt the damage, you know.
And so it's about being in position. Understanding the power of Bitcoin and blockchain technologies.
So, so yeah, man, landing the plane. I think that the powers that be are going to understand
they have to pass Clarity Act because Clarity Act is what gets laws and legislation right,
so that the powers that be in America can begin advantaging what will become the new queen
on the chessboard in the international economy, which is Bitcoin. You know,
Bitcoin will be that asset that that China and Russia and America and all of the rest. You know,
we can start doing oil, Bitcoin preferred, steel, wheat, corn, Bitcoin preferred rather than
the U.S. Dollar. And in that in that environment, I'm bullish on what we're building here, man.
I'm bullish on what we're building here. So shout out to Rod. Shout out to you, Eric.
Shout out to the positive vibes. Shout out to Money Miller, Melting Moon. Shout out to Mill.
Shout out to Security Token, bro. I'm sorry I didn't take the to Security Token.
We were in that room, the midnight, the midnight, the midnight tavern.
That's a fucking dope ass spot, bro. Some awesome, awesome. Real cross chain liberty
and freedom conversations happening, but yeah, man, you wanted to ask about the Midnight Network
situation. So TLDR on that is this: right, Midnight Network is secure. It was not a hack.
It was not an issue on the Midnight Network. Not a hack on Cardano. There was a one chain bridge,
bro, and in that bridge was 515 million night. Okay, now the total maximum supply of night
that will ever exist is 24 billion. So when you look at that, that 515 million,
that is basically what, like a 148th of the total supply. So a pretty fucking fat chunk.
And that is what was hacked. The Wan Chain Bridge was hacked, and whoever that hacker
was started just playing games all across, you know, Cardano, DeFi,
and wherever they could find to dump the Night token. But what's actually really interesting is
there's a shadow and light to it. The distribution profile
of Night has actually now substantially improved, so I'm kind of bullish on that. So
and the charts kind of recovered. So so yeah, bro. If you if you haven't read yet,
the the major 33% decline that we saw in the Night token was related to a Wan Chain Bridge hack
that was dedicated to to moving and shaking on Finance. So it was a BNB-related situation,
but it does look like most of that of that sales pressure action has occurred. So onward
and upward as far as as far as night goes. And again, anyone that caught that wick down
and anyone that caught like snek. So that's another thing. I think snek on the meme layer is
very very well positioned within Cardano. When we do get the reversal,
we all know a rising tide lifts all ships, and Bitcoin is going to cook, guys.
I really do believe we're going to get clarity act passed, and we're going to see
Bitcoin charging back up to that hundred thousand dollar regime. And when that happens,
bet your ass, eight is going to start stacking multiples. Bet your ass,
Knight is also going to start stacking multiples. Outside of meme coins, guys,
there are very few L1 plays where you can pretty confidently say, "Hey, we got a ten
or twenty x cooking." And I think Knight, guys, I think it's well positioned for that.
We can talk about a lot of nuance there, but especially with this recent happening with
a one chain bridge hack. It does set night up for a really, really strong rally once we start seeing
that macro correction. But I'm gonna land the plane there, Eric. Cheers to you, bro.
Good to see you. And yeah, man, happy Thursday, and let's go. And shout out to you, brother.
That was awesome. Yeah, I can't work my. Where's it at? The where's the? Here we go.
That's as I'll fuck up and rug us out of the space if I don't be careful.
So I got to get my soundboard back down and blah blah blah. Okay, I did it. I managed to clap. Man,
CK brother, I love when you come in, man. It's a it's amazing your energy, your knowledge,
just all the things, man. The positivity and it's just I'm I'm bullish on you.
I'm bullish on everybody in here. Quacks in here now. Money, we talked about you yesterday.
I got to meet her and K Mac. That was amazing. Yeah, K Mac's been in and out a couple of times.
Tried to get up on stage. I'd love if he could get a chance to come in and speak, just
'cause he's same kind of deal. But money, I'll give you a shot, buddy. How you doing? Like I said,
we talked about you and more great people, more another great builder in the space and hosting
good spaces. Quack. I don't know if you heard Rod talking about his. His agent
that he's been working on and the tools he's working on, but I think the two of you could, Rod,
she hosts or his co-host or something in a good space that they they talk the technology and AI
and what we can do with it and it's I mean super good people, super good vibe
and just the conversation is amazing. So who who was that? Was that Monday night joint?
Is that Monday? Mondays, okay, yeah, I I can check it out. I I would love to jump into more.
I think it is on Monday conversations because I want to say I generally hit it
after the melting moon space on Monday. If I if I can, I try to jump in.
It's a it's later in the evening, West Coast time for you guys and. Yeah, man,
just some really good AI talk, and she she does a lot of agent battling
and and trying to get the different agents to do what she wants, and she plays with
several different ones and does a lot of cool things. So definitely, you could get in
on that conversation, Rod, and contribute and and learn and all the things. So heck yeah, man! No,
I definitely will will tap in or just just remind me or send send me a. A message on Monday.
I will try my best while I have my Mondays before I'm back in the classroom on Mondays
and Wednesdays, and then I have to do this Tuesdays and Thursdays. Adjust, adjust Web three life.
Yes, I don't know how you've done it all these years, man. Fortunately, you have a supportive wife,
and I think you probably spend some time looking at your kids and think,
how can I make a future for these kids? And that's one of the things I love about you,
and that's one of the things that I work for Melting Moons for because I'd love to see
first lady down there is. Simple's wife, and she's going to be at the event.
She's been in the background with the smart and his years of hosting spaces and all that. Like,
when are you coming to bed? And what's this? You're degenning, and why you up all night doing this?
And blah blah blah. And we got the Moon Girls going, and man, she's got a book.
You were talking about your agent that would look over your book. She's got a full children's book
ready to publish. We just need some art for it. You know, there's she's jumped fully on board, man,
with these moon girls, and that's like that's what happens, you know. And they can involve
their girls in it, and that's what they want to do is build a future for those kids,
and and I want to see where they get to travel around and go live life and meet people,
and they don't have worries in the world, and you know we can all go live and build together.
So it's kind of a dream they have for more of a retirement time once he can get the kids out
of the house, but you know if things change and things manifest a different way,
then then who knows, man. So. Real quick, this is like the third time K-Mac's been able to get up
on stage, and I got to meet him yesterday. He's an Okie homie, and man,
he's got some big things coming. He's hanging with another one of our old-time Cardano guys.
That's pretty much a full-time Selena guy now. But K-Mac, if you can go, go, buddy.
I'm giving you right now. Man, I tell you what, I I thought it was my connection,
then I found out that. I'd like. Oh crap! I've got to update my app,
and I literally had to update it twice in a row. So, whatever X is doing, I love X. I love Elon.
I love Cybertrucks. So please do not remove me, X Nikita Buyers or Beers
or whatever your Beers whatever your name is. I love you too, bro. So, yeah, yeah, yeah. No man,
what a great time yesterday was. I I still am am running conversations that
that we had through my head, and and how just amazing you guys are, and how brilliant you guys are.
Like. It was just so fun. Like I'm excited, and like in my my video I did today,
like it's it's just different now. Meeting people in real life and then
and then seeing the stuff that they do, like it's it's just different.
And how I look at Web three is completely different now. So, shout out to you guys.
Shout out to everybody in the room, and shout out to to X and and Elon Musk.
So he promised me not to rug me this time. Again, the third time. Brother,
that was that was a pretty special time. You and I can definitely touch base on the regular.
We got to set up a time where you can come sit on the porch, and I can play chimes,
and you can be live with Nomi, and we can really get a big space going and have a good time.
And man, we were talking about this meetup thing. Rod pinned a thing up top about this group
that's going all over the country, and I think they're Earth based project, but they
Or cross chain things, and they just want to sit with people like we did yesterday. But you know,
eight or ten or twelve or fifteen people meet up and have dinners, and they have like a schedule
across the country where they're doing stuff. So stuff like that, like Rod does that in San Diego,
and has been for a long time. But you know, now that we're building this community that's all
over the place, like we got enough homies here, man, that we could like gather up the resources
and the sponsorship or whatever it takes. To gather everybody, and we could do a dinner at a place,
and or we could meet here on the farm, or I don't know about what your place is like,
but definitely, like we got some great, great people here, man. And I, I,
I'm definitely going to be tapping in with you more, buddy. And yeah, that was I, I,
I've been kind of reeling ever since, and it's like we're kind of still there
because now you're here on stage, Quacks down there. We were talking about money,
we were talking about Rod, we were talking about simple. We talked about ranking. Man, it was.
We talked about so many other projects that were all. Oh, there's Nomi. Yep, today's a good day.
Two days in a row. So this is why we stay positive. Like when I broke down
and had to sleep in my truck overnight. This is why. You know. We manifest it, Rod.
I will see you in Vegas, buddy. I will be there. There's going to be a way.
We're going to make it happen, and we're going to all sit down, and I'm going to get hugs
all around, and deliver some merch, and it's going to be a good time. So I'm going to see a lot
of you out there, one way or the other, and I don't care where I got to travel,
at least across America until then, and. We're gonna fly the fly fly the project flags of everybody
as we travel around, and yeah, it's gonna be a good time. I want to see more and more people do it.
I already said it once, way earlier in space. I was like, I think everybody should live that way.
We should all get out and about and go find each other and see what we need from each other
and help each other do things and live life and be happy and teach and learn and grow
and do all the things. So. I want to say hi to Nomi because he's super special in this whole thing
we do. Just me hosting spaces, all our friends on Solana. Like he's really encouraged me
and our project to reach out in different directions and expand our horizons and different things.
And he's led us to a lot of good people. So I definitely want to say hi since it's we're gonna have.
What's it called? It's the Mac Nomi Show. The yeah, we're gonna have the Mac Nomi Show. Hell yeah,
we're gonna have the drive-through open. You can pull up. And order some stuff off the menu,
and yeah, we're gonna have a good time. Gonna be pops up pop up coming soon,
little pop up restaurant with K Mac and myself. I'm super excited. But yeah, how you doing,
my brother? You doing? I'm doing. I'm doing amazing. Did you? I guess you probably heard all the
that we had such a good lunch yesterday and spent some time together. Yes, I'm so.
You don't know how jealous I am. That K Mac got to got to meet you in person before me. I mean,
you guys live next to each other, but I am still a little jealous. I am just now thinking about it,
but I should have brought all my stuff I have for you, because like Quack,
I think's gonna end up in Florida before it's all said and done. So, man,
maybe she could have delivered your stuff for you, but brother, I'll get down there here, man.
I'm hoping before the end of the year to the Florida area. There's three, four, five,
six of you that I have a a I need to pin a location and come see. So, uh.
I'd rather get it delivered by you. No offense, but Quack's great and all. Can I say?
Can I say that KMac and Quack? If you look at their faces, they look like they could be brother
and sister. I mean, it's really quite crazy how close they look with like their their cheek
and I was like, man, they kind of look like a little like family. It was kind of cool, but yeah,
good stuff. It felt a lot like family, like we'd all known each other our whole lives.
It seemed like right. It was pretty cool, man. Dude, I will I will say this: like I'm a hugger,
and I'm telling you, Quack gives out the best hugs. Like, like she held on, like she didn't let go.
And I'm like, and I'm I'm like I'm sitting there going, oh my goodness!
Like I've just met this person, and now next time I I meet her again, she's in for it.
She's gonna get the KMAC bear hug, but but when I first met her, like she just gives out
the best hugs, and I was like. Like, oh my gosh! But yeah, she's uh the difference between me
and and Quack is she is absolutely a beautiful person inside and out, and I'm
just an ugly looking guy. But my cheekbones are a little higher, so that that's about it.
That's about it. But yeah, I can't wait to meet Nomi too. I'm excited. I mean,
we're we're planning some Disney trips next year. We're going to try to do it this year at the end
of you know towards the fall and the the uh like kind of the Halloween and then Christmas time,
but I'm not sure it's going to work out that way. But I, I already told my wife, I was like,
we are definitely going to hang out with Nomi and his family, and so yeah, yeah. After this,
after this, after yesterday, like I'm ready to meet everybody. I'm like, screw it, you know.
There's no more. There's no chains anymore. There's no projects anymore. Like the tribalism
and all that stuff is out the door. Like I don't care if you're Ethereum, Robinhood, Solana,
Cardano, you know, toilet paper. I don't really care what chain you're on. Like let's let's go.
It doesn't matter. Yeah, doesn't matter. It really doesn't. There's just a little bit of information
that's different. That's it. Everything else is all about people, and it's all about bringing
new people into Web3 in general. So, and the faster and the more people we get in the grow,
the more we get to grow as well. So, it's all about it. Yeah, that's why I try to take
a very agnostic approach to all that. And it's like, hey, just use the tools for what they're meant
for, and just try to bring people in and support them and move forward. Exactly. Exactly. Yeah.
Hell yeah. You didn't hear it, know me, but CK down there, he laid it down before he came in,
and like the break is gonna happen. I mean, everybody in here believes it. I know
most everybody in here really well, been knowing all you guys for a long time, most of you.
So we all believe the break is coming, and you know it's all gonna go one of these days.
And crypto is going to be the future of currency and all that, and like.
What's so cool is like everybody in here wants to be the people that shows people the way.
You know what I mean? Like helps people get onboarded. Shows you, you know,
the good people to hang around and the good communities that are building. And brother,
it's it's it's crazy to me. Know me and and others in here when I came in in 23.
Like you didn't see a selfie on Twitter. You just didn't see it, and I rolled up in here
like it was Facebook, and was just like, "What's up, everybody?" And you saw my face everywhere,
and I was posting where I was at, and people were like, "Bro, you can't do that, man.
People come find you." And I'm like, "Come find me, man. Let's hang out." It was weird to me,
and now I'm seeing more and more people are just like, "Yeah, man. Here's me.
Here's here's who runs this account. There's like a thing going around now.
This is who runs this account." So. I mean, I love that shit. Touch grass out there.
I pinged them earlier to try to come in. They're another community that's just like get off
your keyboards and take some time to go outside, touch that grass. And we're finding a way
that you can collect tokens to do that. And like people are earning from doing things that
we should do all the time. So go ahead, CKE. Yeah, bro. On the subject of of Of being
kind of forthcoming and doxing and whatnot, I do gotta gotta kind of cosign like privacy
is important, you know, security is important and all that. But at the same time,
if we want the culture to change, right? Because look, if this is going to become
and when it does become like the way in which we transact and peer-to-peer, you know,
economic exchange and all that, we do have to create that environment where people do feel
safe to participate, where it isn't like, oh my gosh, I have to be pseudonymous
and I have to be Agent One Three Five Nine, and okay, I can get economic liberty,
but now I gotta hide. And so it is kind of incumbent upon us to create.
That environment where it's like you know what it's okay to say hey I'm Eric
and and this is me you know and so shout out to you and shout out to folks like Nomi
and and and whatnot where you know and Rod that are are slowly kind of saying hey you know
this is you know creating that culture of of safety and and it is it is something
that is is going to kind of take its time but yeah bro like security is important
and absolutely do not you know put yourself and in in in positions that you know
whatever like obviously don't go oh yeah I've got you know so many Bitcoin and this many that
and look at my wallet like yeah do not do that don't do that. But to be able to put a name
and a face to someone that does participate in cryptocurrency, I think that can be healthy,
you know. And so I, I think it it does start with those of us that are willing to kind of take on
and make those those um those calculated risks. So so yeah, just wanted to say that I am
I am encouraged by seeing that, seeing a little bit more of that openness to being able to put.
Faces to the people that are in the space because it helps put a check on these Elizabeth Warrens
that are saying, "Oh, it's all a bunch of crooks and and and and black black market
Silk Road criminals." It's like, no, bro, it's Nancy and her two kids going to Trader Joe's
and that are just super excited that they can now use their Bitcoin, Litecoin, XRP, Solana,
Ethereum, whatever, to buy groceries. You know, and so yeah, man. Shout out to you
for kind of being part of that vanguard of helping slowly change that culture.
Because there's also the the can't catch all of us kind of situation, like
where when we create a a culture where it isn't just the thousand people that that disclose
who they are that puts a spotlight on them. It's like no, no, no. We're all Satoshi Nakamoto.
You know, I am Spartacus. We are Spartacus. So yeah, bro. Shout out, shout out to that.
Shout out to the cultivation of community and being able to create that environment that is safer
when we all are able to kind of walk a little bit more into that light together.
That's that's dope as hell, bro. So cheers to you. Thank you, buddy. I appreciate it. That's uh.
That's what I try to put off, man. Me personally, so and that's what I want to see. And I,
like I said, this whole room is full of all kinds of people that feel the same way.
So I appreciate you the flowers there, and it feels good to host spaces
and have people say what you're doing is worth some shit. So that definitely makes
me keep having spaces, man. And you guys coming in and this crew of people today has been making
it even more amazing. So, money, go ahead. I see your hand up, buddy. Appreciate you. Likewise,
my man, and shout out to everybody in here. Lots of beautiful souls. Uh,
it's kind of funny on like the whole doxing thing. So when I came in, I came over from Facebook
and primarily came in for music initially, and like I didn't even know that it was a thing.
So like I immediately just put a picture of myself up, not even thinking twice about it,
and started jumping into spaces and ultimately ended up in um in the trenches. And I be in spaces
and people are like, hey man, why aren't you wearing an animated character? And I'm just like,
what are you talking about? Bro, like I have no idea what you're saying, and eventually, obviously,
got it. But I would say I think it does speak a little bit, like on the doxing part,
and being willing to be open about, you know, who you are, potentially even where you are. Not like,
look, I wear my heart on my sleeve, and I'm, I believe in radical transparency. So, like,
I think it speaks a little bit to like the ability to have credibility and trust and honesty,
where people view that as like, hey, I know this person, I can go up to them
or find them in like real life, and it just I think it's that transparency that kind of helps
people get bought into whatever it is that you're trying to do or achieve,
as well as you know the the correlation to the blockchain technology and how we're leveraging
that to ultimately try to move you know the rails forward and take us into the next kind
of economic revolution, if you will. Yeah, so we'll we'll see how things go,
and you know just appreciate you guys and you know the insight that everyone has shared with me
and like the the relationships I think are the the biggest thing that and kind of impacts me on
a day to day basis. And Eric, if we do get a music break at any point,
you were saying some stuff earlier that I've got the track that I think is perfect too. Yeah, man,
I would love it. I know you got some dope tracks. So if people don't know, man,
tap tap in with money. Not only is he a super good person, but makes some some killer music.
And we talked about it earlier. I don't know if you heard, but I played Rod Song
and Drew developed that album. There's a lot of AI stuff, and Simple does a lot of AI music stuff,
and he does regular music stuff too. And we we really want to generate some traction
behind the media company. And right now, he goes around and does drone work.
That people hire him to go take a drone and take some footage or whatever, and gets paid in dollars.
And then I don't know what percentage, but like a good percentage of that money that he makes
kind of is kind of side money at the moment because he has a regular business, but. When he goes
and does that, that goes back to the project, so that's like USD that comes back to melting moons
and is gonna, you know, inevitably go to investments or back to holders or something.
So we got about I don't know five, six, seven revenue streams that are passive income
and different things. We got trading bot and Bitcoin miner and that media company,
and now we got with my with my merch work. Like I was saying earlier, some of that's gonna that'll
As I generate business, that's going to go right back into the project,
and the project's going to make off of everything that I sell. So it's we got some.
We're just getting started, man. And if once we swap over to Solana, if that really generates
some traction, then the money for the project will start rolling in,
and we can really we can really hunker down and do some things. And I can promise you right now,
my ass will be all over the country, meeting all kinds of you folks. So. Yeah, money.
If you got something, brother, I would love to hear it. Everybody else, tap in,
and while he's playing, rebeep the boop. If you reposted it already, unpost it and repost it again.
If you don't mind, maybe throw some likes or repost some of the stuff up on top
and support everybody in this room, man. As all kinds of legends in here, so go ahead, money. Well,
let's get it, baby. I don't got all the answers, but I got questions I can feed a village.
So let's trade. They made intelligence a costume and a flex. Turn wisdom to a product
with a checkout tax. Everybody talking, but they're guarding the source. Sell the map to the maze,
but don't show the course. They say fake it till you make it, louder like a tenor.
Every feet full of experts that never been under. We learned how to boss,
tripping out of the passage. Learned how to brand, but forgot about practice. So many loud voices,
so little repair. So many blue checks, so few who care. If the hands in the back ever touch
the light, or if the knowledge just loops for the rich inside. It's me, I T That's the exchange.
No podium, no permanent rank. Your scars got a lesson, mark in you. My loss has got a map
for the road you choose. Teach me, I teach you. Watch the power extend when wisdom moves freely.
I don't need a guru with a guarded playbook. I need a neighbor with a real life notebook.
Show me how you survive when the lights went out. I show you I kept breathing, drowned. I learned
more truth from a title man on a broke down Porsche than a thousand grand plans. He said, Son,
don't chase crowns or noise. Chase understanding how you sharpen your voice.
Now the classroom is the block and the block is the school. Every story a tool, every wound a rule.
We don't hide our fingers behind curated gloves. We teach from the bottom
'cause the bottom is cause. Teach me, I teach you. That's the exchange. No podium,
no permanent rain. Your scars got a lesson. You, my loss has got a map for the road you choose.
Teach me, I teach you. Watch the power extend when wisdom moves freely. The struggle ends.
You can't download survival. You gotta pass it hand to hand. Now imagine a world where the mentors
rise from the same crack streets as the learners, eyes where nobody too big to say I don't know,
and nobody too small to show what they grow. Where the elders ain't shelved
and the youth ain't dismissed. Where the future get built in the overlap of this,
where experience ain't trapped in a paywall gate, but circulates free like blood in a vein.
I don't wanna be famous for what I kept, I don't wanna be remembered for what I left in the minds
of the ones who I left. My friend took my loose blueprints and built their own lands. Teach me,
I teach. That's the exchange. No body, no permanent rain. Your scars got a lesson, my heart can use.
My losses got a map for the road you choose. Teach me, I need you. Watch the power extend.
And where's the most free? The struggle ends. Teach me. I got you. Now teach them. No.
Yeah, share knowledge, share freely, and always just keep passing that insight along.
That was awesome, buddy. I love it. Appreciate you. I do want to say real quick,
I see Shiverous down there. It's a white PFP with the side profile of a guy's face with a beard.
Quack, that is my buddy Dan that has the cyber truck and the that I was telling you the couple that
I really want you to see. So, Dan, Angie, if you guys are both there and you can hear me,
I got to spend time with Quack there, the duck, and he was in here, but I think he's gone now.
K Mac, so it's almost like a continuation of our meetup yesterday where we're still hanging out
and Rod's in here, so. There's a whole handful of people that I've met in person and got to hug on
and sit with and have fellowship in here right now, so it's really making my day. So, yeah,
I'm excited for what's to come in the future. But I'm glad you could make it in, buddy.
I hope you guys are safe or home if you're traveling. Everything's going okay.
If you got any time to come up, I would love to hear from you. But if you don't, then yeah,
that's okay. I'm glad you could make it in and listen. Definitely try to find simple while you guys
are in Vegas. And I've already talked to Rod, and I should be there too.
So we'll hopefully I will get to break some bread with you. Oh shoot!
I'm gonna smile big now. Here we go. Let him come through the portal. Hey buddy, did you make it?
They drive around a lot and travel around a lot, and he catches a lot of spaces on the road. So.
Dan, are you there, buddy? Or can you guys hear me? Or I can't hear you. Yeah, I can hear you.
Yeah, what's up, guys? Can you hear me? Is yes. Now I can. Right on. What are you doing?
Yeah, I can. I can hear you. I just sounded like some crop talk. Sounded like what?
I've got my niece and nephew in the back of the truck playing video games.
Making my way out of Utah, I'm gonna drop them in St. George. Oh, nice. Well,
we'll try to keep it keep it clean. I won't. I'm hearing myself repeat back to me like 10 seconds
after I speak. Yeah, it seems like you're on quite a delay. So he's he travels the country
in this cyber truck with this airstream, and they run on. They're either out of cell service
or they have whatever Elon's deal is. Starlink. Yeah, Starlink. Yeah, yeah.
So they have Starlink on their rig, so usually they can stay connected,
and they web three all the time, like they're out there doing business on the road all
over the place. So that's why I want them to get connected with Quack because they're
super super good people and. Just same kind of vision, and want to find these properties,
and they're really into health and wellness, and arts, and different things. Where if people,
I was telling, I was talking earlier about, he has all the equipment to blow glass. And he knows
how to do some stuff, but he's not like instructor level. So, like, if we could find somebody
that was instructor level that wanted to be on one of these properties we have,
or if we have a property and we're going to do a meetup, we can be like three days
of glassblowing lessons, and you go to this place and you have these lessons,
and everybody could do that stuff. But he has a float tank, and then he has these goggles
where he puts some headphones on, and you listen to these different soundtracks,
and it kind of Puts you off into the nether world, so you can kind of focus and tune in
and kind of reposition yourself, and I don't know, maybe look into the future if that's
what comes to you while you're in there or whatever. But you know, a lot of holistic things,
and they're super conscious about health and food, and a lot of a lot of similar things
to other people that are in these spaces, and definitely similar things to what Quack
and and that group's got going on, and so. Yeah, yeah, yeah! More of a good thing.
I'm super happy to see him. I've got to spend a long, good time with them.
They have the boat I stayed on and the homes that I got to visit, and then I've spent time
with them out in Vegas and at EVO last year and. Them and Rod and his family.
We all stayed at a place for Fourth of July last year and had a cookout,
and all the kids were swimming, and all the grown people were over there talking, talking crypto
and Web3 and life and all the things. And so it was, it was a super good time of fellowship.
I spent a month or more with those people. So just traveling around, man, and everybody.
When we got a guy in the crew with a '73 Winnebago, which we actually purchased fully with Cardano.
And then everything turned around and pumped like three days later, and the guy made like
three thousand extra dollars off the deal, and was like, "Holy crap! I love this stuff!" So,
you know, proof of proof of all the things that we talk about, we want to do out there.
They they went out there and made it happen. They came and picked me up. They took me to
where this other guy was. We all traveled down to San Diego. We bought that thing for Cardano. We,
me and the other guy, traveled from San Diego all the way back to Oklahoma,
and we had to nurse it the whole way. It broke down on us the whole way.
I had all these tools with me and. We were fixing it enough to get us down the road, and got here,
and I got him good enough to get up to where he's from up north of me, and he got home
and got some things repaired, and then he got back out on the road, and he spent all of the summer
out there and and and over the winter out there in Arizona, New Mexico area, and just BLM land,
and living in his Winnebago, and getting on his computer, and he's in spaces,
and he's web threeing it, man, and it's just cool, man, that kind of stuff,
and meeting those people. That's that is awesome, like just that opportunity, especially to get out
and like see you know the country and beautiful places. And to be honest, man,
I'm like burning out from the rat race. It's just killing me these days.
And I want to come like meet all you guys as well. I did actually have the opportunity
to get to spend some time with a couple of people I met in in CT that were from
the Moonsters community. My buddy Michael Fire and I ran a space for just music a lot,
and then went out to Florida and got to meet them. That was just it's wonderful getting to
actually meet the people in real life that you develop relationships with on here,
and you know it's just you. You can tell, like the family knit, like how everybody's super close
and has similar mindsets, and really just wants to move things forward
and in society to bridge the gap that has been intentionally put in place by the establishment
to keep control of money, authority, and power. Yes, all of that. T here is t here is a whole group
of us that think like that in here, man. A whole group of us. And what's cool is, like, even
though everything's so negative in the world and society these days, man,
I run into a lot of good people that have a really positive mindset and see. The future of things,
even with you know, people are freaking out. Technology is going to take our jobs,
and blah blah blah blah blah, and everything's so expensive, and we got wars going on,
and everything. But man, I spend a lot of time with people
that just kind of—I wouldn't say ignore it, because we all want to be aware of the full narrative
or as much of it as we can. But you know, it's not. Rankin does a space where we go deep
into the crazy things that the government's doing and people that run society
and that kind of thing. But it's always like good, just fellowship talk. It's not crazy,
weird arguments and and people like, ah, I don't believe that or what. You know,
we have there's facts to back up things and it's just good, real conversation.
And it don't matter how far off the deep end we get, it seems to be fairly normal to talk about.
You know, so I'm finding. Or more people that kind of look that way and think that way,
and it's just awesome to see, you know. Because it's a scary time, man.
We could definitely go in the wrong direction. We're at, I think, a tipping point in history
and humanity and mankind and things. Where like, like this is pretty much the same
as discovering fire. Like I think it's way beyond when we discovered the internet, Web One
and Web Two. I think it's so exponential at this point. It's literally going to be
like we discovered a new form of fire, and What's going to happen with humanity and mankind?
It can be shifted so easily right now, and I feel like the love and the positivity
and the compassion and the understanding and stuff is what's really going to push the good stuff
through the other side and hopefully defeat this this darkness and all this. To me, man,
money working and this rat race you're talking about, I don't understand
how we ever taught each other to do that, man. I just don't feel like that's our purpose
in the world. I think. Learning things and having experiences, and then like translating that
into knowledge, and then going out and sharing your experiences with other people is what
our purpose should be. And in the process, everybody's needs are taken care of, and like.
Wants in the world and comfort in the world and stuff like that just kind of falls away
because you don't really want more than anybody else. You don't need anything more
than anybody else. So everybody stands on a more equal ground,
and and you know we're going to stand on some kind of crazy ground on the other side
of this technology, one way or the other. So the more we can carry each other along rather
than step on, step over, or I don't want to carry somebody, and I don't want anybody to carry me.
I want to hold hands and walk along together. You know what I mean? Yeah, absolutely.
And I think the speed at which things are moving at this point, like it's now
that we need to embrace that. And I think it's a misnomer that someone else needs to lose in order
for you know someone else to win. Like we can all win and win together
if we actually support each other and move in that direction. 100%, man. That's and.
I preach it all the time, and there's been several people that come in
and they'll say the same thing. You spend any time with anybody. There's
several people in here that either host a space or co-host a space or get up
and speak a lot in spaces, and every one of them says this same exact kind of thing.
We can win by supporting each other, and it's it's it's really that simple, man. You
as if you try as hard as you can to look at how you can help someone else in your daily life. Versus
how you can help yourself, then all the things that you need to help yourself just kind of fall in,
and you don't even realize that it happened. You're just like, wow, I didn't really need anything
today because I was so focused on making sure I did something that somebody else needed.
So you don't want to overwork yourself, and you definitely don't want to get used up
by the energy vampires that are out there that will steal that energy from you. But you know,
when you fall in with the right people, and you just kind of feel that thing,
and you you give that energy, and you should be getting something that you feel beneficial. Rod,
are you getting ready to leave, buddy? Oh, he dipped down the listener. Man, shout out to you.
Sorry, go ahead. I was just gonna say, shout out to Rod for coming in. Like I said,
everybody tap in with that guy. He's amazing human being, amazing builder,
definitely blockchain legend. He knows a lot of things. So tap in with him if you can. Be safe,
brother. I will see you in a few days. How about that? Love you. Be careful. Go ahead, money. Yeah,
I was just gonna say, like, kind of funny that you had mentioned that because, like, well,
on the like community and growing together and moving that direction, because that's actually one
of the topics. I so I submitted an application to speak at NFT New York,
and that is one of the two topics that I had positioned to try to in my application to speak to,
and how you know, as as you form community and bonds with each other,
you can kind of understand like where you have gaps and weaknesses, and where you synergize
and work with each other and collaborate, and ultimately like kind of create a single family unit
to create and build and bring society forward. Yeah, that's a big part of what he does,
and that's a big part of what that caravan crew is about. You know, going out and, like I said,
have your experiences, and then go share that with other people. And along the way,
everybody's helping each other build, and it's. It's it's a cool thing, man.
Once that ball gets rolling, and we get more and more people that are out and about, like even
if you can't caravan around, if you got a local place, you're like, man,
I got a good place for a meetup, a local business, or, you know, like I think small town events
and like stuff where they shut down Main Street in these little towns across America would be
great places to just set up something. And it doesn't matter what you're doing,
what your business is, if you've got anything to sell or whatever, whatever it is,
you can set up a food truck or whatever, and you know, basically have a little mini event.
And if you can invite some other community people from around, especially if they're travelers
or whatever, like that caravan group, we really wanted to have like you're kind of on call,
and so an event comes up, and it's like who can make it, and everybody would kind of have a call
to arms, and all these caravan crews just show up at an event and help support
whoever's trying to run that event. So we. We definitely have some things.
They definitely have some things in motion. They've been living on the road for some years
and been making a living in the Web three world. And they're, I mean, boots on the ground doing it
every day. So it's a thing that's a work in progress that we want to build
and help other people get into. And you know, it doesn't take but a few more people to jump on board
with it. And now. Now you've got a collective, and now you can turn that into a movement.
So it can all happen real fast once the ball gets rolling. So I think I'm still hoping
that before 2026 is out, that we're going to have some kind of good bull pump.
CK was talking about clarity act. If that passes, that's going to be. I mean.
I would almost rest assured that you're going to see that in the chart,
like the instant that it happens. So, it may not go where to some big crazy pump,
but as soon as that clarity act passes, watch those charts and see what happens. And yeah,
so I don't know. Anybody else got anything going on or got anything to say?
I'm not really shutting space down. I just didn't want to keep rambling
if somebody else had something. Ooh, I see Betfi just made it in. I know they might have
some updates, and we use we have a table. Ooh, and since we're switching to Solana.
I think we will be the first table on Betfi that's a Solana table, so they already make
it pretty easy to get Solana and play on Cardano tables. But yeah, we're gonna.
I think we're gonna be some legendary OGs over there when they become a huge thing.
We'll be sitting around being like, "Yep, that's our homie right there." So,
if you can come up give any updates, that would be amazing. If you can't, buddy, welcome in.
And you've missed a hell of a day so far. Gassy Meow just came in. We got some shoes.
If you guys don't know about Meow, she does custom airbrush shoes like Jordans and shit like that,
and they're like. Super amazing! So we have a prize to give away that she's going to paint somebody
some melting moon shoes. So I'm excited. I really hope Tree gets them, but I don't know.
I didn't hear anything about that drawing. Tree won everything else, but Tree already has like
two pairs of meows shoes, so they're amazing. And it would be really cool if Tree goes to
these events and wears some moon girl shoes around or melting moon shoes around. So yeah,
shout out to her for that. And go ahead, CK. I see your hand up, buddy. Yeah, bro.
I just wanted to to co-sign what you were saying there. I might be rolling out in a second,
but yeah, man. I think Clarity Act is likely to get passed. But as we often see,
sometimes they like to double dip, where they'll put a date on the calendar. They'll say, "Hey guys,
we're gonna vote on this day," and then we watch the charts go up twenty percent, but then it fails,
and then it retraces back like seventeen percent. And then you know, as the market's going, oh no,
what happened? Then they go, "Hey guys, we had a meeting, and we've got another vote in three days,
" and then boom, chart runs up again. So just keep a weather eye on that, you know. But yeah, bro,
I'm I'm bullish on on on the passage. Shout out to Betfi, shout out to Meow,
and making really cool art and whatnot. And Eric, I just love what you were saying,
and and Money Miller and whatnot. You know, like Buddha's last words are said to have been "Make of
yourself a light." And what I take from that is we all, men and women, right, we're born.
We have a set of lungs. We got a heart that that beats. We know what it is to have fears and dreams
and bravery. And it's like it's what fathers and mothers pass on to their children.
They're they're making a light by saying, "Hey, baby, like I have been afraid. I have been brave.
" And here's you know here's some of the learning you know let me press back you know the dark of of
of our of our of our ignorance or just our our unknowing, and and that's just powerful bro to
to pass on the lessons that we learn as we live these lives so that those that come after us
can can can take that baton of liberty and freedom and just awesome life experiences cultivating
awesome fellowship and community and and and and making really awesome friends
and living the the memories you know that really are the treasures of of living a life
so so yeah bro shout out to doing that. Shout out to the Clarity Act and the markets getting
ready to cook because again the dollar isn't getting any healthier and they're gonna need something
to to if America wants to maintain dominance right the only real asset that exists right now
at the forefront is Bitcoin you know and and again the reason why I believe let's say XRP will be
a success is the reason I personally don't own it which is it's the banker's coin you know but at
the end of the day I've got friends that are building there. And XRP has done a really great job
of establishing those strategic relationships, so that they can get a piece
of that international settlement. But one of the reasons why XRP will not be that international unit
of account and whatnot, like Bitcoin can be, is precisely because of those human relationships.
Whereas Bitcoin is a lot more sort of decoupled from the traditional powers that be.
And so something like a Solana. One of the reasons that I don't hold a Solana is
the the infinite supply, the accounts based, all that. But at the same time,
Solana has really gotten a lot right. Solana has reduced the friction to participation.
It is easier to to get in there, get in the trenches, to do these things.
And so that's where I think our toxic Bitcoin maximalists. Really do themselves a disservice.
If you are trying to maximally advantage and empower Bitcoin, then you should not be making enemies
when you should be making allies. You should get into these Solana trenches,
whether you want to hold Solana or not, and make friends. Say, yo, why are you here
in these trenches, Solana fam? And you're gonna find out. You got a lot of folks
that are trying to turn fifty dollars into freedom, five hundred dollars into freedom,
and there's nothing wrong with that, man, because if All you got at the end of the month is
fifty dollars or a hundred dollars. DCAing into Bitcoin, as much as I love it,
isn't gonna get you there. So how do we actually figure out meet the market where it is? You know,
and how can we say, hey, yo, Solana fam, if you do manage to turn a thousand dollars into fifty k,
why don't you then use something like a Houdini swap, a Silence swap, a Thor swap, a Leo deck?
To move some of that, some of that meme money over into the Bitcoin layer, and that's the key, guys.
It's this interoperability. So you know, three cheers and and all the success in the world
for Melting Moons and folks that are from Cardano that are maybe saying, hey,
maybe there's opportunity that we can realize on Solana, you know. And it's about okay
when you wanna, you know, that capital you wanna keep because you know what? As we're seeing now,
there are home Loans in the United States of America where you can back them with Bitcoin.
Maybe Solana gets there, but I don't know. But what I do know is again,
Bitcoin has a hard cap supply. It's got a UTXO basis, so that that's the thing is using these assets
for what they're best at. You know, there's nothing wrong with participating in Solana or XRP
or Ethereum. You know, so so shout out to shout out to spaces like this, Eric,
where we can empower each other and say, okay, how do we? I think Money Miller said it really well.
You know, is it's about figuring out how can we use each of these assets to, you know,
for what they're intended for. You know, so when you're trying to, if it's the capital
you want to keep, maybe that's best on the Bitcoin layer, or maybe the Litecoin layer,
or maybe the A layer. All three of those assets have hard cap supplies.
All three of those assets have that UTXO basis. So yeah, man, I'm gonna land the plane there.
But I appreciate the hell out of you, Eric. Shout out to Betfi. Hope y'all are doing good.
Shout out to Chivalrous rolling through the room, and shout out to Meow in the sneakers.
I don't know if it was her sneakers that I've seen on the timeline, but I did see an artist
was out there doing. Really dope shit, where they were, were, were, you know, buying sneakers
and whatnot, and doing some really, really cool stuff. So I'll definitely check out your timeline,
meow, and yeah, see what you're cooking. But until next time, Eric, you take care, bro, and onward,
onward, let's go. Yeah, love you, buddy. I'm so glad you came in. Today's space has been amazing.
And it's always a pleasure to hear you speak and all the things. So I appreciate you coming in.
I hope the rest of your evening is amazing and Friday is good for you. The weekend's good for you.
Evo next week, so keep your eyes peeled for some footage of different people posting things
from there. Man, a lot of things going on. A lot of people are doing meetups
and a lot of a lot of happenings are happening. And that probably was meow that you saw.
She gets like Jordans and stuff, and then strips them down and paints them up
and makes them look amazing. So I think he's gone now. But yeah. It's uh it's good, Jimmy.
I see you. I'm gonna let Betfi say hi, and and I don't know if that's Johnny or what,
but welcome in guys. And yeah, if you got anything, you just want to say hi,
you just want to chime in on the conversation. You got some stuff to share, whatever it is, buddy.
Go with it. Yo, what up, Eric? What up, Melting? Sup, everyone. Thank thank you so much
for getting me on stage. I'm on the way to church right now, but I'm not sure you can hear
the background noise. But yeah, just excited to be here. Excited for Rare Evil next week.
Just meeting everyone on Cardano and other chain to. To expand and showcase,
you know what we've been building, which is the first, you know, multi-table, you know,
true professional poker platform on Cardano. Then we also are expanding multi-chain into Solana
and Night, and there'll be other chain that is going to be coming up towards the end fourth quarter.
So yeah, we're just super excited to have this multi-chain. We recently partner up with Change Now
to allow swaps. So you're able to swap crypto, or any crypto, into Solano or Cardano
or any other other token. You can swap directly onto our platform, which is really cool. And yeah,
that's about it. I mean, we just want to showcase what we have on Rare Evil in Vegas
and just party up, have fun, and and network is the key. I love it, buddy. Sorry, my.
Mom walked up right when we we have all these cats. I know this is way off subject,
but we have all these cats around here, like eight. I have grandma, mom, and dad, and then four boys
and a girl out of a litter from them. And one of them, one of the ones out of the litter,
we didn't see it at all yesterday. And my mom just walked up and she's like, got this real sad face
and was like, "I found Tippy." And so, yeah, I had seen a whole group of vultures out in the field
yesterday, and I guess that's about where she found him. So sad news there, but. I hate to say it,
but that's one less mouth to feed and one less neuter to have, and that's just kind of
how it works on the farm around here. So, we have a lot of cats come and go, and we usually have one
or two, maybe three, that like we have them around for quite a while, like the grandma
and the dad we've had for a long time. But the kittens just kind of the ones we give away a bunch,
but then like kind of. Farm life happens, and we got like every kind of. We got bobcats,
and we got eagles, and hawks, and owls, and all the things that can run off with little kittens.
So I'm not sure what happened to this one, but anyway, I don't want to drag that on.
The show's been amazing, and life life happens. People, we move on, we stay positive,
we see some light on the other side of all the things, and yeah, Betfy,
I know some some BS happened over there, and Some people tried to wreck you,
and you guys freaking trudged right through it like it almost didn't even happen, brother.
And I think what you guys got going—it's one of those things. Like when my truck broke down,
people are like, "Man, can you find some positivity?" I'm like, "I'm being positive," and you know,
it may turn out to be that this thing breaking turns into a good thing,
like a better thing comes along or whatever. So I think in the interim of the bad things
that happened over there. You guys moved right past it and like jumped that hurdle
like it wasn't there and came out like super winners on the other side. So I wholeheartedly expect
big things for what you guys got going on, and and we'll roll some more Salana people in there.
That place would be hopping with poker games going on all the time, and there's there's game betting
and all kinds of stuff you guys doing there. So it's it's gonna be awesome. Like I said,
if we're the first ones to have a Salana table one of these days, I'm gonna be raising my hand
and be like, "Yep, I'm an OG that was planning on that sucker right there." So.
Shout out to you guys. I hope nothing but wonderful things for you, and definitely appreciate
you coming in. You're more. I'm not dropping space or nothing. So go ahead,
anybody that's got anything. Yeah, super excited. You guys will be the first Solana poker table
onto our platform. So that table, you guys will earn fifty percent of the Solana rake
that's going to be coming from that table. And then since you guys already have that table.
Future chains that we have, Melty Moon will always have a table moving forward.
So every chain you guys have, I mean every chain that we have on there,
you guys are going to be earning automatically for life. So thank you for the the support early on
and and supporting us early on, and you know just we want to pay back to early believers
and in our community that stood by us. You know the the attack the attack that happened to us
about a month ago. Took it down for a little bit, but we bounced back right away. Recovered,
and now we're we're onward and upward. So we're super excited with the the roadmap that
we have coming up with the sports book that we have. You can bet on parlays,
you can bet on single games, you can bet on boxing. World Cup just ended, so we'll have NBA, NFL,
bare bare knuckles fighting as well. So there's gonna be a lot of sports activity that you're
able to bet on there using Ada, Salana, or Knight coming up. Yeah, and for anybody
in here that doesn't know, like we have BFI and in the room, so like as a holder, you can go in
and play, and I don't know, you could you go into theirs and play. Um, they got different tables,
and it's a whole website. But like what he's talking about, where we get the rake off the table,
that's stuff that goes back to the holders. That's project funds that go into investments
or go back to paying back holders. So shout out to you for even building a damn thing like that.
Where projects, you know, that's what we've talked about the whole show is like us promoting you
and our table there. Helps you, but then you're promoting us with our face on one of those tables
and those things, so it helps us, and then in turn that's helping both our communities
and all the other people tied to us as holders, and you know that's what it's all about, man. So,
like I said, shout out to you for even developing a thing like that. Shout out to Simple for.
Knowing you for as long as he has, and and getting in early and believing in you,
and like I saw the thing happen, the attack happen, I was like, man, I was in the chat.
You guys were there the whole time. It's just you guys worked right through it. And like I said,
I think the project, since you had to take that direction, it kind of took you in a new way
and made where other things were became possible. So it might be a good thing that it happened.
So it's I do see good things for you, and do hope that I get to spend some time with you out there
in Vegas this next week. So. I know you're gonna be representing my friend. I know you will.
Who's that? All right. Is he speaking? Sorry, buddy.
You rubbed there for a second. I didn't hear you talking.
Oh, the Holy Spirit's done grabbed him. He got too close to church, bro. The Holy Spirit
has done grabbed him, so it has taken him away. Shout out to Johnny. He got to go.
He got to go to church on what's today? Thursday, bro. He's going to church on Thursday.
He definitely got to repent for all that bad shit he did over the weekend. So, no man,
I just want to say, shout out Johnny. Yeah, I've known him three, four years now. Yeah,
it's been a minute. So. Yeah, man! Shout out to him. They've always been working him and the team,
but yeah, I can't wait to to meet them out there in Vegas. So, I hope you got a bunch of free shit,
man. I want it all. No, I'm just kidding. I ain't like that. I know some people. They be like, man,
I got two backpacks fulls. I'm like, God damn, bro! Like, could you have saved a little? Greedy. Um.
So either way, but yeah, no. We and I wanted to say we obviously with what they had going on,
they had to you know get things right. Which yes, shout out to you again for taking care of that
and handling business. But also with my vacation and freaking Vegas coming up and all that,
and obviously the switch. We're gonna get things strike back up after Vegas, even
if we're on Cardano, playing for a few weeks a month, and then switch over to the Solana side.
But yeah, we're definitely gonna get our table going. Hopefully, get two a week. We were doing
Saturday nights; they would be like good games. So we're gonna definitely try to strike one up
on Saturday, and then try to find one like midweek or something to do.
But then the tournaments is coming as well. So once the tournaments hit,
that's going to be a whole different thing. So we just talking about the regular sit and go.
So yeah, just if you haven't tapped in, if you like poker, if you like sports betting, if you like,
there ain't no telling what else they're going to come out with. I'm sure blackjack, roulette table,
you bet on coin flip. You know, it'd be like Vegas vacation when he hit the end. He's like, bro,
I need rock paper scissors type shit. I got fifty cents to bet. So they coming with it all.
So shout out to you, bro. And yeah, I hope you have a good night. And pray for me as well.
I need some repentance. So yeah, just just go ahead and throw them Hail Marys up. And yeah,
I'll see you out in Vegas. So that was all. And I see Jimmy Bones. Jimmy Bones up here. What's up,
everyone? How you guys doing? Doing good, brother. Did you make it home yet? Oh hell no!
I got another four hours. I just wanted to come up and say it was amazing how you
and I were in here, grew into the dead for a while in the beginning of the space,
and all these legends came through and. Now Johnny's here and stuff. It's just awesome,
awesome space. Love it there. That is pretty cool. Me and Jimmy were sitting here,
but I was by myself. I started playing like a whole Grateful Dead concert off YouTube,
like a three-hour show, and I was just like, "I'm gonna let it run and see if anybody comes in.
" And Jimmy happened to come in. I'm like, "Man, like one of my only Deadhead friends.
" Which I see Chad Rico down there. Shout out to you, buddy. Another good homie I've got to meet in
real life. Golly, so many people have come through space today, Chad, that I've got to hug on
in real life. It's crazy. So, but he likes the same kind of music as me,
and I met him at a. At a Yonder Mountain String Band concert, which was pretty awesome,
but I was playing this Grateful Dead show from Red Rocks back in the '82 or something like that.
When Jimmy came in, I was like, "Cool, one of my Deadhead buddies hanging out with me.
" And we were just sitting here listening to tunes, just me and him. Nobody rolled in.
It was like half hour, forty five minutes. It was crazy. And he was at work.
He works on a on a mill in a machine shop, and he was just grooving to some Dead
while he worked away. And I was just doing some things on my computer and. Running the tunes
and chiming in every once in a while, and then, man, like you say, Jimmy,
there's been a lot of great people come in today, and the space has been one of the best ones
I've had. And Chad, I was talking—I don't know if you saw a post or anything—but Quack that's here
with the duck BFP, well, the orange and green duck. There's a purple duck over there too,
but he's on my list to meet. Rankin, but I got to meet Quack yesterday, and there's another guy.
Guy that's an Oki that I got to meet him yesterday, and he was in here in space earlier,
and he got to come up and chat. And of course, I've met you, and I've met Chiverus, and who else?
There was other people in here earlier that I've got to meet. So it's been a whole space
of people that I've got to meet in person, and all kinds of other people that I haven't got to meet
that I want to, that are out here kicking ass and building and doing things.
So Chad's just another one of those guys, man. Another one of those people been around a long time.
He's been around since like before Cardano got big. He did some Bitcoin things,
probably some ETH things back in the day. So I think he's been around a cycle or two.
But he's got a lot of good homies where he lives in person that are into crypto and things.
So I'm just saying, where I'm at, I know some people. I got some connections.
I got some friends all across the place and all kinds of people that are out here doing
all the things that we've been talking about this whole space. So I'm anxious to see all
of us win in the future, man. So. Give everybody a follow that's been in here, and yeah,
you got anything to speak of in general, Jimmy or Simple? Anybody else that's down below
that wants to try to get up? Go ahead. I would like to shout out Corey B because I got
a Moon Boy spacesuit that was yesterday or the day before for like two bucks. Nice. As he point,
he pointed out that the floor was really low. I'm like, well, I don't have one,
so I'm going to get one. Brother, I didn't have any either, and I went and scooped. A few,
and then I think when I did, few sent me one or two more or something.
I I think I have five all together now. So they, man, they're cheap, and for what I think
they're going to be in the future, I'm anxious to see. I I've got a lot of the backstory
on all that, but those backpacks, I think, like as games develop and Just some
of the gamified things that we have planned for the community. Those back,
those spacesuits are going to be like what a backpack is in Discord. Like you're going to be
able to load it with items and go around and have special weapons and powers
and maybe special access to different channels or different gated things or whatever.
But I'm not sure how it's all going to shake out. But I know he's put a lot of time
and thought into the development of it. And by the time we get doing some things,
we were talking yesterday. I was talking to Quack because. It's Infinite NFT, I think,
is the name of it. It's a group that has a game that's developed, and from what I understand,
it's really fun. And she's got like each project can be a whole set of characters in the game, so
like your whole community can battle against other communities and stuff,
and you're all got your PFPs in there, and like. They do it because it's fun
and because they want to promote projects, and it's not like a a thing that costs people all kinds
of money to get involved with. They they want to see these projects join and be in these games.
So like they just they have the template all developed, and you just put your NFTs to it,
and they just add you to the game, kind of deal. So super plug and play,
and from what she described, simple to you know good to work with the team
and get it get integrated into it and everything. So I'm anxious to see if maybe we can look, check,
tap in in there, and get our moon boys and girls fighting in these battles
and wearing their backpacks and playing these other communities and building some stuff together
and having a good time and promoting each other. Man, that's what that's what it's all about.
I love it. Now, are the moon suits moving to the spaces moving to Solana also?
That I think is undetermined because of how Fuse is wanting to develop the lore. So.
Simple might can say different, but I believe at least for now they're just gonna
kind of we gotta do something with them anyway to get the policy ID. So there will be a swap
on them. Go ahead, Simple. Yeah, so there's not gonna be like we don't have control all that.
So like if you do have these, you'll be able to swap, and we'll do something where it's
a pretty simple manual process. And the people that do swap will have kind of an added benefit
because we're redoing them. The artist they did the Moon Girls and Fuse already in works.
Like there, she just sent the first sample over, but he's got it more laid out with the the way
we want to do the gamified staking side of things and the lore. So it's not just like three suits.
It's like he's got like certain suits that are damaged and you know need repair.
Like he's got all this whole. It's fucking crazy. Yeah, y'all. Like I said, it ain't just me.
I promise. Like this shit would not. I would have not come up with this shit that they've come up
with. But yeah, so it's going to be worked on. So it's basically going to be a new collection
on Solana. We were even talking about it the other day, and I was like, "Well,
we might could do it on a different chain, you know." But we really can't because the main goal
is is it's going to be kind of like hard staking. So you can do soft staking with us
or hard as we get there. And so you're literally kind of locking it up for a say a two day mission
or three day mission. But when you send that away, you're getting like I mean,
he has like dark matter and all this shit that's into it, and then you're able to. You know,
there's possibilities of bringing back actual soul or NFTs, but then they're like
all these dark matter and these elements you bring back. You're able to create new NFTs
or buy things with, or I mean, it's yeah, it's ridiculous. But again, it's long term,
so like this is something that you know we want to continue with the story and all that. So yeah,
I mean we're gonna keep with it, but yeah, if you do have if you do have moon suits, just hold them.
We're definitely once we figure out the transfer, like our biggest thing is is we want to get
the mint going on Solana to start bringing in some more funds. To help with this transition,
because obviously the transition wasn't necessarily thought of, but we get that you know spending
this money to do it will benefit us long term. So yeah, like we're gonna once once we get the mint
going and we start transferring over the Moon Girls, you know, over to Solana and the Moon Boys,
then we'll start working on that. But yeah, I mean they're a cheap price, so I mean in my mind,
I would. I would. You're probably better off getting some now and swapping them than even
because it's not going to be like we said. It's going to be a near free mint,
but I mean you might be spending a couple of dollars over on Solana, you know. But like again,
you're not going to have some of those benefits that we're thinking about the people that swap.
Same thing with the Moon Girls. People that swap with the Moon Girls, like we've got some things
in mind of you know added raffles and maybe some you know added Moon token
when that starts coming out with the gamified token and all that, where y'all have more a little bit
of a bonus on top of the discount because again they're going to be more expensive. So you know.
It's always better right now to buy on Cardano if you can, because you're basically getting
a discount and a few added benefits for being kind of, I guess, early or one of the OGs. But if not,
wait for us on Solana. I know some people are like, yeah, so I'm good with it. You know.
But the passes—if you do have a pass, some people have asked—the passes
are going to get swapped over, so they'll have the same added benefit.
You'll have a discounted price when we start minting the Moon Girl steel. Again,
discounted price on anything else we do. Plus, they have their own percentage of the profits,
so those hundred passes will be transferred over to Solana as well and have those same benefits. So,
I think that's that's all my rambling. My rambling. That was pretty good. You have
more information than me. I get a lot of it, but you seem to. Track it better
and talk about it better. So, yeah. Once you fucking go over it and then go over it
and then go over it, and it's like holy crap, you know. So I'm I'm actually reaching out to launch.
I just I just looked at launch an FT. I'm looking at Grave Mint. We're gonna look at Soul on Chain.
We're looking at all our options, and that's the thing. Like if you think about on Cardano,
it's like holy shit. And then think about like once we start getting at marketplaces,
I'm looking at all the marketplaces we have. We've already got. Four or five that we'll be
able to be listed on as soon as we start minting. So it's not like hey, go to way up. It's like nah,
go to here. You can go here. Oh, you can go here. Oh, you can go here too. You know, so yeah,
it's nice. But that's what I was doing while y'all was talking. Actually, just going over
and writing down all the all the numbers and everything. So once we get back from Vegas, man,
we're about to strike it up. A lot of people are ready. I know the Soul Gods family.
A lot of the Bull Bears and Soul on Chain. They've been hitting me up. I'm trying to think. Oh,
the Stone Gods. I've been talking to a lot of them and the team, and of course, like Solana Strays,
Corey, the Ojai Nets, and the Ojaians, obviously, because we're gonna be working with Hondo
and Morgan and them with the swap. So, yeah, man, fun, fun times, fun times, man.
The floor on the boys is up too. I think it's somebody, somebody hit a little, little, you know. Oh,
I'm gonna sell for 45. So we're at 45 right now. That's cool. That's cool. 45 ain't bad, shit.
You know, from I think we were, that shit was like 15. I was gonna say they've been.
Ten to maybe thirty for a long time, so it's that is cool. Yeah, bro. Well,
I just picked up two more spacesuits. Let's go. Let's go. And I got a new Moon Girl yesterday.
I mean, you might as well buy them at a discount now. Yeah, that's. I mean, that's what we're.
You know, some people don't really want to, and they don't come. And they literally are like,
"All right, fuck it, I'll just wait" because I got Solana. And it's like, "All right, cool." Like,
we're that's one reason we're on the move. You know, like keep it pushing. But yeah, I mean,
for damn near half price on Cardano. And I mean, like Eric said earlier,
like the Moon Girls are going to be the transfer fee will be nothing but what the platform cost is,
which is under a dollar. I think it's under fifty-fifty. I had to look at it,
so I'm not gonna throw a number out, but like we're not charging anything. Like, no,
the project's not trying to make any funds off of that. And people that hold a decent amount,
we're looking at even covering the cost of that for them. So, yeah, I mean,
we're it's it's definitely cheaper because I mean, you think twenty-five dollars,
twenty twenty dollars, whatever the hell it is, versus forty, forty-five to fifty on Solana. So.
Yeah, definitely. I mean, and the boys—they'll be a little bit more
because the boys—we don't really make anything, so we are trying to be smart and be like, okay,
well, if we do transfer over, if we can make say a buck off of each one, you know, I mean,
now that's another five thousand dollars that can go towards investments or whatever. So,
and that's including the holders or the founders and stuff. I mean, I don't hold nearly what
Fuse does, but I think I hold—I know I hold a hundred plus between the two.
I think he holds a couple hundred between the two. So, yeah. But we'll do like the Weejuns did.
Like there, it'll be a big window before we figure out because that's that's still a few things
in question. Like with the girls, we control everything. With the boys, they're already mated,
so it's going to be kind of interesting. Towards the end, when we set a date,
trying to figure out like the old Moonboys and stuff. I mean, for a while,
I guess we'll end up really having collections on both chains because there's going to be people
that probably don't even hear about this for another year. Hell, I don't know.
There's there might be somebody. Unfortunately, there might be somebody dead. You know,
that has a damn wallet that we don't even know's around it. You know, I mean, like so.
There will probably be some always on the Cardano blockchain. So we'll we'll have to figure out
how that goes, but you know. Either way, there's people that lost their keys to their wallet.
They don't even know the you know the seed phrase anymore, so they're just stuck. Yeah,
they just gone, you know. So, which is cool, and we can figure out something, you know, as we go.
I mean, our big thing is, I mean, this the biggest thing for this is like just wanting to propel
the the mint forward. And yeah, I mean, I know everybody, you know, oh yeah, Cardano. I mean,
I get it, but Then you see this damn second mint for this one project that we all know and we love,
and I'm like, bro, like this, like y'all are just literally third mint and second breakfast
and fourth mint, bro. I saw the post and the partner project, and I'm just like, don't.
There's like a project that they keep posting, including us, and I'm like,
can you keep our name out that shit? Like, leave me the fuck alone.
I don't even want to be including that. Like, don't even tag us, bro. Like,
we're gone because we out this bitch. Like, y'all do whatever the hell y'all want to.
So either way though, we got some projects that we're invested in on Cardano. I still believe,
which I want to see, because C swaps talking really hard about what they're about to do,
and it looks like some changes coming. But I mean, we still got them. We've got Bank
and doing some of the stuff there. I mean, I still want to. I'm honestly,
if this propels the mints like we want it to, then we want. I still want to do the thing
with Hostgillion and what they're doing because they're payouts, and so I mean
that'll still be Cardano based, and you know we can transfer it over easily with Viper Swap.
You know, four Solana rewards, or you know, however we break it down. But we're not,
we're not completely leaving Cardano. But I mean, we're you know, we're we're going to have our toe
in the water over here, and the other nine and hands and feet and all that shit over on Solana.
Those, I'll tell you, those Hoskilian payments are pretty nice. Bro, yeah,
and and you know that was one of our first initial, but we didn't want to go in
and just buy a couple of units, so we wanted to do kind of like Angel did with their, you know,
when they went in and did kind of the commercial side of it, like the B two B. And so I've we know
the numbers because there's different tiers, and even hitting that lower tier, it was like damn.
So we're I'm hoping that's one of the things we can do and really invest.
I know I I mean they're close and local. If we were to do that, I'm definitely like taking my ass to
North Carolina and meeting that mother like in person. I've talked to I've talked to him a lot.
But I really want to tap in and just make sure because it's not a it's not a small investment,
you know. So I met him. I met him in New York City at the Mallard Order event. He's a good dude.
I met him and his wife. Okay, cool. Yeah, yeah. I met the other guy. I see him right now. Who? What?
What? You don't worry. I'm not doxing people in here. He can come up and talk if he wants. Oh,
you talking about? Oh, I see his ass, Tadrick. Tadrick. Uh, I was like,
who the hell are you talking about? Uh, I'll I'll say the name. I just said a name. That was it.
You know. I think he likes. I think he likes a Hoskilian. If we if we invested in Hoskilian,
he probably he probably be like, "Them Moon Boys is all right." I'm just saying. No,
I mean that's still definitely on the radar, you know. And I mean, what bank does? I mean,
there's a couple of projects. So again, it's just you know, this is to us. This is more broader eyes
and just a quicker. A quicker, I said. I mean, like you know, we've hit a wall.
Everybody can see it. You can see and be like, "Damn!" And I mean, we've got literally. I mean, God,
I got so many people like, "Win, win, hurry this," you know. And they even know about the discount.
They're like, "Yeah, I ain't. I don't give a fuck. I'm not dealing with that. I got Solana ready.
Hurry up. Tell me price." So, yeah, bro, like, we're we're good to go, you know.
And I think it's gonna be a good thing. But like y'all said, there's a lot of good people.
A lot of people that were up here earlier. You know that are part of Cardano that we'll stay
tapped in with, and if Cardano comes back around, if Charles will shut the hell up
and stop crashing out, and all this other stuff you know transpires, yeah, we're gonna be over here.
You know, so I mean, hell, we we mine in Bitcoin. We even got Bitcoin people. It's like, yo,
when you move into Salona, you know what I mean? Like they ready to spend some money.
So we got connections over there. Polygon, we got some connections over there. So. Yeah,
we we definitely blockchain agnostic, but you know we just gotta we gotta leave this little guy
over here Wyatt Bruise and go go put our ass on a billboard somewhere up in New York City on
Times Square, you know. So New York City, New York City, get a rope. Let's go.
It makes me think of what was that movie? God damn, Harley Davidson. It was like an old.
That was an old pace commercial. You remember when they were going through? Yeah, you seen?
I know you seen that movie, bro. Harley Davidson, Marlboro Man. That's a shit.
If y'all ain't never seen that, that's a good. Oh, hundred percent. I've seen that.
That's a good ass movie. I ain't gonna lie, bro. Um, but yeah, makes me think of that.
Or there was something else. There was some country ass. It was like some rodeo movie.
He's going down, fucking on like a old ass seventy something fucking Ford, little square body,
about to fall apart. You know. They had old electric cowboy. I don't know if that was
a New York City, but old John Travolta or whoever riding his was a John Travolta or was that.
Might have been Robert Redford. Might have been older than that. Anyway,
riding his lit up horse down the look. I think it was New York somewhere, New York City.
I seen that. Vegas Strip or something. It's old seventies, eighties movie. Something. I don't know.
Electric Cowboy. Look it up. That's all I know. I've heard that name. Yeah, shit.
I'm sitting here with Rocky. Rocky something. Oh shit! I don't know what the hell. This shit.
I went to Rocky Ten. What? What we on? Oh, it's Rocky Four. What? It was a movie.
Rocky Two earlier today. There's a movie from like the maybe the 90s or something.
I wish I could remember what it was, but it's like set in the future, and as the as whoever
the main character or somebody in the movie is strolling along, you see this big like sign,
like you would in a hallway or something, you know, like a banner type thing.
And it's like Rocky Ten, and it's got Sly. He's like 150 years old, and he's got his arms up
in the air like Rocky. And it's it's a it's funny because like by now he could have
he really does have Rocky Ten or whatever. And this was when there was only like three Rockies
or something like that. So kind of funny. Yeah, just fighting Mr. T. He was fighting fucking yeah,
the boy. They was getting it in, bro. It's been a minute. That's all. That's all. Uh,
Zach Clever Lang, Mr. T. Mmm. Oh, Fab Five. You know what I mean? Fucking wasn't a Fab Five. Yeah,
bro. It's been. I be watching all that old shit. I be. I've seen myself.
It was crazy because I went to my when we were on vacation. So my cousin, she don't really,
she don't have uh. Like internet connection to all the TVs in the room. So like the guest room,
it has. She's like, well, I got a TV in there. She's like, it's got a DVD player and whatever.
And I'm like, goddamn DVDs. Like that shit makes me think of like VHS and cassettes back in the day.
You know, like that's what times are now. Like are DVDs are they scratched? Like fuck. But no,
she got a good collection, so that was a good thing. But then I started like looking through it,
and I'm like, oh, they some old school movies in here. So I started like pulling some old shit out,
and I was like, like let me watch this. I then got home and just started watching like
more old shit. I'm like, oh, what's this movie? Like I just watched something.
I don't remember what the hell it was. I'd never heard of it. It had a ton of fucking
like characters, like actors that were like in the early '90s that were just coming.
Like I'd see them and be like, "Oh shit! Oh shit! Oh shit!" It was like fucking twenty of them.
I was like, "Bro, like this movie probably like Bob Jones, like Breakfast Club or something." Yeah,
bro. I was like, "Yo, what the fuck?" I was like, "Oh my god!" And like it was a good.
It's got everybody, Young Guns. Yeah. I just I've been watching like old ass.
I've just been watching like '90s movies and shit, like fucking literally,
like even movies I've watched before. I'm like, man, it's been so long. Like, let me pop back in.
Some of these movies nowadays, it's like I don't know. Like I start going through Netflix
and all this, and I'm like, okay, bank robbery. This, okay, fucking. I'm like, dude,
like y'all have, okay, like y'all played every storyline a million times off of those early '90s,
fucking, you know, late '90s movies. So I'm like, let me just go watch the original
that y'all are ripping all this shit off of. So there's some good ones out there.
There's some good ones, but yeah, I was like, damn DVDs. We was fucking having to change shit
and rewind. I was like, God dang, it's been a minute. That just shows you how fast.
Cause I remember fucking my dad. He used to have like, oh my god, his VHS collection was. I'm like,
bro, this motherfucker had two thousand, three thousand movies. But that was back when you went to
Blockbuster, right? He had the Blockbuster collection down, cause like we were going that bitch on.
You know, most y'all know my story. I I didn't spend a lot of time with him, but I had
about a year that I was like pretty much stuck with him. Yeah, I said it. I was stuck with him,
motherfucker. You know what I mean? And dude, that Blockbuster about ten minutes down the road,
shit on weekends, motherfucker have forty fucking goddamn movies. Game, you know,
you go in there as a gamer, so you go and rent them games, get the snacks and shit. I'm like,
he'd rent all them movies, and then that motherfucker he popped the first one in,
lay down on the couch. That motherfucker watched that. That motherfucker be out.
He watched the same. He try to watch the same damn movie. Got a stack of ten movies.
He watched the same damn movie the whole time. Yeah, I'm like, bro. Like, I loved it. Like,
blockbuster. I'm like, yeah. When I was a kid, we would get like five every weekend. I'm like,
I got to choose one. My my step sister got to choose one, and my folks picked out like. Two
that we could watch, and then one that we wouldn't get to watch or whatever,
and that was that happened every weekend, man. And pizza, and and it was before Blockbuster.
We had like a actually one of the guys I went to high school with, his one of my lifetime
best friends. His parents owned an Adventureland video, and it was like before Blockbuster got big,
and they rented out movies, and they had like For people that came in like we did all every weekend
and rented a whole bunch of movies every weekend, they would give tickets like rewards points,
and it was like those tear off tickets that you have on a big roll, and you'd get those,
and then like you could spend those tickets in the kitty corner and get little shitty toys or candy
or whatever, and I'd load up on all that shit with all the tickets that my folks built up,
and we'd get our movies and our pizza, and pizza was in the same little. Strip center,
so we got our food and and go and we watched all our shit, man. It'd be all weekend long.
We'd sit there as a family and watch all five movies or whatever, and be kind, rewind
and send them back in good order. And yeah, the good old days, man. That was
before like we could rent games at when Nintendo came out. Like I had buddies down the street
that Nintendo came out a few years down the road after that. Then we'd all gather at his place.
Especially in the summertime, we'd gather at his place and play for two, three, four hours,
and then all of us would go get out on the on the bikes and motorcycles and go down in the creek
or down the street or whatever. And good old days, man, good old days.
I remember when my neighbor he got the Coleco Vision and they got Turbo,
the game with the steering wheel and the brake and gas pedal. You know,
Turbo is such a ghetto game looking at it now, but it was the best thing back then. It was so cool.
You're literally, you're literally a car in the middle of the road, and you steer,
and the car kind of goes to the right. It doesn't. The graphics were horrible,
but it was so much fun. Well, we played like Centipede and Space Invaders and Missile Command
and that kind of stuff, and like fucking Tecmo Bowl. You remember trying to play football?
How the fuck you play football with those rat turds? That was, dude. That was so stupid.
How many hours you spend on that game? How many hours did you spend on that game? Oh,
hundreds probably. But what a stupid game. I went through some nine volts
on that that old football game that was just little tick marks running back and forth.
Is that what you're talking about, simple tech mobile? It broke. That shit was terrible.
That was like that was like Game Boy. Game Boy before they ever thought about Game Boy, man.
That was a hundred percent. Yeah, it had like a little. I think it was little red dots
that moved across the screen or something. And they weren't even. It wasn't like they were
advanced LED dots. These were just little red dots. Like, bro, you know how much code
it takes to make that game? Nothing. Like four lines of code will make that game. And nowadays,
like, we could be. Dude, we could have developed Unreal Engine. You know what I'm saying? Like,
we should have been the guys doing that shit. It makes me so mad I didn't pay attention. I'm like,
oh, I learned how to run my name down the screen and make it zigzag constantly down the screen.
And after that, I don't give a shit about computers until Windows comes out. Like, it's crazy, man.
I could have been, I could have been the guy out there building all the cool shit, the blockchains
and the kick-ass video games and. All the stuff our generation is right there.
The people building that stuff is is from our group, and it's crazy. Corey's got that game out now,
and he's I didn't jump in and play it yet, but he's got a game that he's playing with
his wheat bandit steel, and it's some type of old Space Invaders type thing or something like that.
Old school stuff, man. You see, you see Rankin down there with his little pixel art thing.
That that old school stuff is cool, and especially like a bunch of us from our generation,
and like Simples just right there with us behind us, and like we we love that stuff from back
in the day, and it's nostalgic to me to think back my Nintendo and Atari days,
and then now we got friends that have these projects and NFT projects where they're
they're creating games that are like those old school games, and some of them are kick
ass new technology games, but A lot of the people starting out are just building
normal old pixel games, man, and it's it's a lot of fun to see. I'm anxious to see
ours get out there and people playing with moons, doing different things.
I think a moon patrol would be really cool, like you play the old school style,
and like maybe you come to like a portal, then it zooms you in, and then it's like GTA 6
or something all of a sudden, type graphics, and I don't know, man. There's a lot
of things potential for some of these projects out there, and moons is like the whole ball of wax.
So I'm stoked. It's endless. Yeah, yeah. Did I rug? You guys don't care. No, you didn't rug. Nah,
you just ramble too fucking long. You. That was awesome. All right. Well, you.
How about I'll play a song and we'll roll out of here. A lot of people have filtered through today.
It's been pretty kick-ass, if you ask me. Toof's in here. All right, shout out Toof. Kinda.
I still got my one and one booger, so I'm kind of fucking salty. If you're on the East Coast,
I'm glad you made it safe, and I know you're spending time with fucking old fucking Morgan
and all that. But can you hurry a fuck up? I need. I saw you gave me. I saw you gave me a sample
of the moon trait. That's cool. I need. I need the one and one. Cuz I need the moon.
I need the fucking booger wrapped in the spacesuit. We need a whole collection.
A whole booger moon collection. Hey, and he said he's coming out soon. I think month or two,
so I ain't putting a date on it because I heard him. But fucking hey, it's going on Eath,
so all y'all need to get a little Eath because we got him. We got Corey with the Weath Bandit.
So I'm just saying, y'all get them because them boogers. I know y'all.
Some of y'all probably booger, which I think everybody in here probably knows. But if you don't,
bro, they some they some dope ones. But yeah, I need the fucking Space Boy.
I need that motherfucker. So, but I hope you I hope you have a good time over here.
Enjoy your fucking time. Tell Morgan say what's up. And yeah, once you get back, fucking write.
Get your ass to work. But no, I'm excited, man, and glad you're getting some time away
and enjoying some time with her. So, that was all. Saw the homie. Everybody else, shout out Quack.
You already did that. Paul, he was here, so shout out him. Rankin. Shout out to you, homie. Sorry,
I don't make your spaces Saturday, bro. Yeah, I'll be trying to sleep. I'm like y'all,
y'all be fucking talking some some seriousness, and I'm like fucking barely waking up,
fucking getting out of my zombie state. So I am sorry I missed that, but that's
when we need to catch you, man. You need to have like your first cup and your first bowl,
like three puffs in or something. You need to be like, man, what did he just say right there?
That's when we need to get you, like when your when your mind has not had a chance to think about
other things in the universe yet. And bro, I miss his and I miss because fucking. Handro,
they be doing their shit, and I'm like, "Why do y'all want to host a space on Saturday at fucking?
" I'm like, "Bro, I still need to be eating fucking Fruit Loops and watching cartoons at this.
" He doesn't do it. I don't think he does it early anymore. I think it's at like two or three
or something in the afternoon, maybe early evening. I don't have an excuse. Okay,
I might be I might be mistaken because he has his Tuesday show, but I think Tuesday is like.
Maybe Tuesday is two or three, and maybe Saturday is now like six or seven in the evening.
I can't remember, but I got to tap in. It's hard to keep up, man. It's not early morning
on Saturdays anymore because for me it was like ten o'clock, nine o'clock in the morning
when he was doing it before, and I was like, man, that's a little bit early on a Saturday.
But it's definitely always some interesting and good conversation in there,
and he's just great people, so. And the deck crew is always awesome. So, yeah, hell yeah,
bunch of pirates, bunch of pirates like me. All right, well, I hope everybody has a good night.
Shout out Jimmy Bones. Peace out, brothers. We will not, for anybody that cares,
have a space on Monday because I will be kind of getting situated in the hotel.
I'm spending the night in Atlanta to be close because I'm on
that fucking sorry ass early bird flight to Vegas. I waited too long to get my damn flight,
and yeah, so I'm on that. That's what you get for being a fucking slacker, bro. Straight up,
I was like, but I thought like a month in advance, and then they started giving me, and I'm like,
well, will we rather show up early and be there most of the day, or show up at fucking midnight
on basically Wednesday? So I was like, ah, fuck it. So all good. We're gonna be at Vegas Tuesday
at like 8:30 in the morning. I'm like, fuck it, let's go. I'm gonna be like.
In the parking lot of the dispensary, white. You're gonna be on like Vegas schedule from the jump,
dude. I'm wondering. My thing is 24/7, baby. Let's go. Hey, I'm ready though,
cause like we're only out there a few days. I'm like, man, if they had a cocaine dispensary,
I'd probably hit it. I ain't gonna lie to y'all. Y'all can be here. I can say what y'all want.
You can say what you want. I do a little toot. I might, you know what I mean,
just to keep the edge going. But hey, there's not. And I'm not gonna risk it.
Too much crazy shit out there, so I'm just gonna smoke my weed. Might get a couple of drinks
from the casino, you know, go down there and act like I'm gambling so I can get my free drink
and ride out. But nah, it's gonna be fun. I'm excited for everybody that is coming.
Can't wait to meet you, Eric. I hope to God. You can make it, and there's a will, there's a way.
But if not, like I already told y'all, good. But great space, bro. You've been running for
fucking almost five hours, a shit ton of people. So hey, just remember, keep pushing.
Some of them smaller spaces, fuck it. You know what I mean? That's just what it was. But yeah, man,
you had like God. I can't imagine how many people came in here. So. Shout out to you!
Shout out to everybody pushing and the whole community and the family and yeah, again,
just rocking Corey's space on Monday because my ass is gonna be getting ready to go to Vegas.
And once we get back from Vegas, man, the ball is gonna be rolling. We gonna be fucking pushing
this Alana, getting things going. So take your little week, hang out, and if you're not scared
of Cardano and minting on Cardano, come check us out. You're getting a discount, and we've got.
A lot of Solana prizes. So the Weegee, Weegeenette pair. We got the Bull Bears about to come out.

I love y'all. Appreciate you. Great space, Eric. Hope you have a good night.
Hope everybody has a great night. And yeah, we'll catch you later. Yeah, man.
I'm gonna see you in Vegas. That's how that's gonna be. We've already talked about it.
We've already. It's already happened. We're just waiting to get there, man. So.
I'm gonna figure it out, and I'll see you there. And we're gonna have some good fellowship
and build. I see Phil C finally drug his ass in. Whatever. I don't know, man.
These these Weegee people, they're just they just they're just like. Well, I'm gonna. I'm surprised.
Like Bar and Corey and and the whole Hondo and the whole crew didn't just fall in here
like closing track, getting ready to head out, folks. See you later. So. No, brother.
I appreciate you. Love you. I'm glad you made it in. It's five hours long, but man,
this was a really good space today, like Simple just said. So, if anybody's bored
and wants to go back for a re-listen, do so. Dear Quack over there. I hope you can still hear me,
but be safe on the rest of your travels. Simple's in Georgia. If you're anywhere nearby, oh shit,
he probably won't be there by the time you get there. But anyway, be safe on your travels, Jimmy.
You be safe at work, and then be extra safe when you get off work because I know how you roll,
Simple. I'll see you there, and be safe in the travels. Give the wife a hug for me.
I'll see you guys soon, Paul. Keep Malta in touch with the rest of what we got going on over here,
brother. We're building on every freaking chain there is. We're gonna sell your vacuums all
over the planet. I hope he's asleep, man. It's probably like 2 a.m. For him now.
But shout out to him for sitting in here the whole time and coming up and throwing
some Irish freaking accent into my space. We had an amazing amount of legends roll through
here today, and it was a super good space. Yesterday was awesome. Today was awesome.
Tomorrow's going to be awesome. Rankin, shout out to you, buddy. Check out his spaces on Tuesdays
and Saturdays. Check out Quack posts a whole damn schedule for all the cool shit she does.
Of course, Weejuns they're out there posting everywhere, and yeah, man,
I'm going to find a tune here. I love you guys. I'm gonna play another Goat Tribe because everybody
that was in this space today is a freaking goat, and I'm bullish. And yeah,
we manifested our dreams. So let's see. I'll kind of chime in with the same type thing. Actually,
you know what? I'm gonna go more hype. Now, let me play two. They're both short, two
or three minutes long. I'm gonna play one, then I'll play this other one, and yeah,
we'll do this 3D modeling AI thing commercial real quick and. Here we go. We'll play this one.
Then I'll play a little more hype one from the same album. Check out the Go Tribe
if you like Cardo things. Check out Rod G and Dreamstate Four if you like Cardo things. Be the
Go. 100. Don't give in, get back up, let's fucking go. They always say I'm cocky,
that I think I know it all, that I can't be kind, I'm nice and cool, that I'll probably collapse.
But then they meet me face to face, and see we can share the space. It ain't about who wins
the race, 'cause I'm just trying to inspire you. Be humble and be patient. That's always what I say.
You gotta lead by example. Forget about the weight, don't run your mouth, don't be infected,
don't tell lies, don't be a snake. We just wanna be the best, to put our skills against the test.
I'll never fold, I'll never rest, 'cause I'm just trying to inspire. Man, I don't care if you buy.
I just wanna see you spread your wings to learn some things that hit this weed and get you high.
I can inspire you, inspire you. Lift you up, come on and start to grow.
Chase the dream with that bag you already know. If you don't expect no one's following,
don't give in, get back up. Last fucking song, make sure to go and hit the gym to build yourself,
not on the wind, but day by day. Let's compete against ourselves, not PvP. When I say go,
I really mean it, but it probably ain't what you're thinking. I just a title, you gotta earn it.
You can't give up, there's no returning. So when you're still on the grind
and feel like you are running blind, just know I made this little rhyme. Oh, 'cause I want to.
As soon as you walk, come on and start to grow. Chase that dream, get that bag. You already know.
This song is meant to inspire more. Get big, get that gold, let's fucking roar. So
if you're listening, don't give up, man. It ain't a competition against each other.
It's a competition within ourselves. LFO. Yeah, good powerful stuff right there, in my opinion.
So I got one more. I'm gonna run down, throw everybody out on some super hype.
If I can find that word. Make sure it's not gonna throw an ad at me. It is,
so give me just one second here. Two or three minutes song. You guys are more
than welcome to dip out whenever you feel like. And like I said, I appreciate everybody
that came through today. Whole pile of legends and builders
and beautiful souls. So have a great weekend, and I'll see you in Vegas.
Just let me
know. Just let me know. Just let
me know.
Awesome. Have a good one, everybody. Peace.
