Full Transcription
I mean, the core idea of Bland is that everybody was sold a broken promise. Thank you. . Thank you. Music Thank you. It's Tricky Buddha from DeFi Space Donkeys.
Where does that come from, right?
We're going to go over that today real quick, and then we'll hang out, play some music,
see what everybody else does when they show up, if they want to talk or whatever. Where does that come from, right? We're going to go over that today real quick, and then we'll hang out, play some music,
see what everybody else does when they show up, if they want to talk or whatever.
So we'll get into it, though.
Tricky Buddha is my gamer tag from the PlayStation Network, actually.
My brother was Green Buddha, and I was like, well, we're brothers, so we should have the same last name.
And everyone always calls me Tricky because I'm always finding those little tricks.
So Tricky Buddha.
And I was playing it a lot, a lot of Call of Duty, especially when I was going through my surgeries and my recovery and dealing with Crohn's and stuff.
So I'm playing video games.
And, you know, it can get kind of toxic playing Call of Duty.
And I started telling jokes just to kind of break the ice, to kill that anxiety, alleviate the pressure.
And it put the team in a good mood.
It put me in a good mood.
And I realized how good it was helping me reprogram my brain, so I just kept doing it.
I'm always just telling a joke.
So, yeah, I can't not do a quip or say some kind of joke.
It's kind of hard.
It's like my natural setting now.
But I did this, and I created the DeFi Space Donkeys at one point. And I was thinking to to myself Well, I don't you know put this out there if I don't get it out there
No one's gonna know that a DeFi space donkey is a lover of crypto and NFTs, right?
We're just blockchain addicts is basically what it is a space donkey according to urban dictionary is someone who won't get off drugs
So we're a DeFi space donkey. We won't get off the blockchain.
Love DeFi.
Anyway, so one day I'm playing the game, and I get shot.
Mike goes live, and I just blurt out,
DeFi space donkeys, instead of saying a joke.
And my friends laughed.
The team laughed.
It worked the same, and it served the purpose of getting the word out.
So I just kind of kept doing it.
And it was so effective at reprogramming my brain. I was like, okay, I got to get on social media. And when I'm on social media, like I had
bad anxiety, you know, before, but I felt a lot better. But even to break that anxiety more,
I would start every space, every, you know, time I would talk in any kind of live, I would do my
intro. And then I continue, you know, if you don't call on me live, I would do my intro and then I continue.
If you don't call on me, I won't do my intro and I'll just sit there. You won't hear a damn thing
from me. So that's where the Tricky Buddha intro came from. It's born out of necessity and humor
and yeah, makes me feel silly. So, you know, be goofy, be a free to be silly and find your comfort zone.
You know, when something makes me anxious at this point, like if I'm sitting in a room and
I'm starting to feel anxious, like, oh, I should go up on stage and then I'll jump immediately
on stage and I'll do my intro as fast as possible. The faster you confront that anxiety head on,
the better you can conquer it. So stay tuned, like stay at it, you know keep that vibe and stay positive
All right, we're gonna play some more music
I want to share the space out to a couple places and then I'm gonna pin this underneath my pin post or the tricky Buddha account
It's at under tricky Buddha. What's it under those at tricky underscore Buddha?
Tongue twister for some reason. All right
But yeah, there's a tricky tease over there right now
I think I'll change my pin post though or just add to it with the series of videos
That way you guys can see yeah, you know who I am here a little bit and then we'll continue the space
Maybe we'll answer questions chill, you know talk cannabis talk, you know finance talk whatever life and
you know talk cannabis talk you know finance talk whatever life and
Yeah, hopefully we have a good time all my holders and subscribers get first dibs on asking questions
And I reserve basically these Mondays and one dates Wednesdays from 4 to 6 or 4 to 7
Just to answer questions donate my time as a as an advisor. I am the first
Tokenized advisor the first advisor on chain. Thank you very much. Also the first donkeys on chain
Yeah, but yeah stay tuned. I would love to help you out
You know bring a goal bring a question and show up next week or you know next Monday Wednesday
All right, let's get back This is Clay John.
I'm just here to set the bar Gonna take a rest, you're depressed, how bizarre
Thought you was pulling strings, but that ain't who you are
I'm in charge Thank you. I'm in charge.
Ain't tryna flex.
I'm serious.
I'm in charge.
Come on, take a rest.
You look depressed.
I'm bizarre.
But you was pulling straight.
You gotta know who you are.
I'm in charge, ain't tryna flex, I'm just scared of simple boy, don't take a rest, you look dressed, I'm in charge. Ain't trying to flex. I'm going to take a rest.
I'm going to take a rest.
I'm sorry.
I bet you was pulling straight.
I bet you got who you are.
I'm in charge.
Let's go.
He does a lot of live performances.
You can probably catch him over there on TikTok.
It is ClayJean, C-L-E-J-A-N, the trap violist.
He actually performed at our Zaocella Festival.
That was during Art Basel last year, not this year.
And yeah, one of 16 of our legends that showed up,
that whole thing, but Zaocellaela look it up that shit was amazing there's a there's a track for it too like i think on
youtube and uh i think 53 communities came together for that event so it was a lot of fun
i think there's a couple other spaces we could jump into and i see we got tribe called rex in
the house what's up what's up? What's up?
Feel free to come up here. I should probably share it out
I created a space like real fast well recently and you know kind of coming back from
holiday vacation, so
Hopefully we'll get some more people in here
They're like he disappeared
They're like he disappeared
A lot of just random stuff to do plus my sleep schedule's been all wacky. I
Hope you're doing good Rex
Let's see. Let's see what you got going on in your post
okay, so
You know what you got to do you need to break the link in your bio, right?
And this is what I mean. You have the link section has your discord
link, but you have the same link in the bio section above it. So if you have the link in
the text area, and it leads outside of x, it kind of like demotes you it kind of dings you it hurts
you a little bit in the algo. So just like between, I would say like just segmented a little bit like maybe disc, I
was, I don't know, discord.g space g slash or you know what I mean?
Discord.gg and then space and then slash.
That way people can still see it but they have to go to your profile in order to actually
click that link.
You might get more profile visits that way too.
Anyway, free advice.
There you go.
There's always these little tricks with the algo.
And most people don't really care too much.
But if it does help and you're trying to build something, which I know you are.
Most people, if you're listening to this, you're trying to build something.
You're about education, trying to build something.
Or maybe just see what I've done on this one.
Because I did some crazy, reckless shit later and got into a lot of trouble.
Or I got real famous.
I don't know.
Maybe I'm foreshadowing.
I have no plans.
I'm just, you know, anything's possible.
Fuck, I'm not even the same person I was when I was in high school.
I feel like I've been like three different people throughout my life.
It was weird.
You know, you got the child version of yourself,
and then you got like the adult version of yourself,
like high school slash adult college version of yourself.
And then, you know, sometimes you go into an adult or parenthood phase,
and I went the other way with chronic illness and just, you know,
got really fucking sick.
Totally fucking useless to the point that I finally got my surgeries.
Look up Totally Screwed.
That's the title to the NFT I made based off of the x-ray from those surgeries.
You can see two titanium screws going through my leg. Yeah, and it's an NFT.
Because why not? I think everything should be on chain. I want to document my successes and
failures on chain all the time. This is how it's done. I got to start being on other social medias
too. I've made a bunch of different accounts just so I'll have backups and stuff.
I'm going to start posting on more socials,
so look me up over there and everywhere.
Better yet, ask AI who Tricky Buddha is.
You'll get a stellar review.
In fact, it's clearly non-biased
because I'm not telling you.
Let's go see what AI says.
It's like the new version of saying
Google me, motherfucker.
Let's see. I got this over here now
to the DeFi Space Donkeys
group.
That would be good.
Jump in quickly, Tricky. How are you?
Good. I didn't even say
you're a speaker. Dang.
Sorry, man. I heard you call me up
it's gary from tricorrex and yeah i just thought i saw oh check he's on the space i'm jumping in so
um yeah i just thought i'd jump in and say hi um appreciate it's good to hear from you
don't want to be monologuing bro well this is what I'm going to start doing, actually,
is I'm going to do like a little monologue story, and I'm going to title the space based off of what that story is about.
So that's why it says, you know,
origin of the Itch Tricky Buddha from DeFi Space Donkeys intro.
Right.
So I told that story,
and that way people can listen to like the first 5, 10, 15 minutes
and get like all the alpha., 10, 15 minutes and get
like all the alpha.
And then, you know, I'll hang out, answer questions, we'll chill, play music or whatever,
like after that.
So because who's going to listen to the whole the whole space to find that bit of information
they wanted from it?
No, no, no.
I'll tell you at the beginning or what I if it's a longer space and there's like a big
gap until there's the alpha.
I'll reply to the space with the time. So like it's a time stamp, you know, at 2.45, Clay John came in here and played an amazing track called whatever, right?
But did you hear the advice I gave you about your link?
I kind of did. I was rushing around trying to find a headset
um but i've it's a recorded space so yeah well i'll just i'll just tell you it's easy all you
gotta do is break the link in your bio leave the you have a link anyway in the link section
but the link that leads outside of x in your bio hurts you in the algorithm so you just
put a space in there somewhere so it doesn't so it's like not clickable
you know what i mean um and then you'll be good nice yeah the algo is strange everyone's trying
to work out the algo and i don't know if anyone succeeded the thing is they like there's a lot of
people that are playing tricks on it to try to get money out of the system.
They're not actually creating good content.
They're just trying to make the fucking money.
That's not how you do it.
You make content because you make good content.
And if the social media platform gets the algorithm right, then good content will fly.
But you don't want to just work the algorithm. that way you can make money off of a single thing. And then anytime you do it anywhere else, it doesn't
work out. You know what I mean? So yeah, it's kind of like, you don't want to, like, I have,
I have 13,000 something followers right now, but I probably gained my, you know, I don't know, 20,000 this last like two years.
But I've been after I got over like 14 or 12, you know, 12K maybe I started just deleting people.
So I'll go through my thing and I'll find anyone who's like got like some crazy amount of like follower, like following a bunch of people, but nobody's following them.
And their profile's missing a banner and a profile picture you know what I mean it's
everything's wrong about it and you're like okay this guy just made this
fucking account anyway we got Dave in the house I'll stop talking and we'll
say hi to Dave how you doing? I'm doing good, bro.
I'm stoned.
But other than that, we're recording.
I'm sorry.
Oh, no, that's fine.
I mean, you're, you know, cannabis is legal.
You know, you can ship THCA in most states that have the farm bill or some similar bill to that of Florida.
So, yeah.
Go hemp. Hemp is one of the. So, yeah. Go hemp.
Hemp is one of the most efficient, clean
crops there is. Cleans the soil
and produces
an astonishing amount of fibers and stuff
like that. That's why there was Hemp for
Victory in the last World War.
They were trying to get everyone to grow
hemp so they could make more sales.
That video came out
the same year. they made it illegal
1937
like they make it illegal and then they're like
wait wait wait wait
for now though
for now
it's still illegal
in the UK
yeah
it's one of those
the UK is not cannabis friendly it's one of those the uk does not is not cannabis friendly um so it's not anything friendly
you got you got to watch what you take you got to watch what you say like it gets you coming and
going we are the new china that's right if i send you a present and i insure it for 500
you got to pay a huge fucking tax just to pick the damn thing up right what kind of tax would you have to pay
on that
I was just thinking if they
locked you up for misinformation
back in the 80s
you know how many girls could have had me
put in goddamn prison
that's terrible
you should have just said you don't know how many times I could have been put in prison.
Right.
And instead of kind of like implicating you, like you said more than you needed to say.
Oh, well, I meant.
Yeah, I probably did.
I did.
But yeah.
I meant for giving them misinformation, like having a different name. You need a good lawyer, bro.
I remember giving them misinformation, like having a different name or, you know, I love you or, you know.
I love doing, like, search engine stuff and research.
Like, doing research.
Like, my literal first job title after college was just research analyst.
And I would research random things.
People are like, what industry are you in?
I'm like, well, I'm an analyst because I'm not in any specific industry.
I'll like whatever, you know, if I know somebody and I want to work with them, I figure out what they're doing and I see how I can make them or help them do it better.
And if they really like it, they come back and hire me again.
And that's how I run my business.
I'm only working for cool people
who will pay me what I'm worth
without me asking.
Basically.
So if you're a psychic rich guy,
I'll be your ideal employee.
Guy or girl, it doesn't matter.
Hell yes.
He, she, or they can pay whatever I think is worth it. And the best paying people with the available time I have gets filled until I get real sick and have no hours left.
And then the schedule stops.
I don't think I can go to certain places anymore,
you know, like super big cities and stuff. I can't go to New York again. I mean, if someone
gave me like 10 grand, then I would like, I would bring all my own food and I'd be able
to do some extra clean precautions, probably wear a mask the whole time and see if I can
not get sick. But every time I've been to New York,
I've been sick for like a really long time afterwards.
All my senses are locked.
It smells like pee and or rats everywhere you go.
Every time everybody goes, they get sick.
I mean, everybody got sick last year when they came home.
Yeah. I mean, everybody got sick have real good habits because all those different conditions put different stresses on different parts of your body
that you got to let shit compensate for.
Yeah.
You don't want to get sick every time it gets a little cold
and it's going to happen often
if you're in a northern state.
Dude, it was 80 years yesterday
and 28 today.
Ouch.
My mom and stepdad were just like, you know what?
Fuck this.
They're in Argentina right now.
I got it made.
It's like, it's just a little bit of snow on the ground, totally frozen.
They're like, yeah, we're out of here.
This is the best time to get away from
washington state too cold so they almost came here instead of going to argentina because
um they almost missed their flight well their first flight was like canceled and if the flight
was at all delayed or late then they wouldn't get the connection.
Right?
So luckily, they got the second flight that was available or whatever.
So they still made it.
But they were traveling for like 18 hours or some shit because of the layover.
That's brutal.
Did you already send me an anime, a picture?
Or if you're, if this, all the subscribers, there's posts there that's like a share your
image.
You can DM it to me or you can post it and then, um, you know, leave any like traits
or themes or features, whatever you want me to maybe include in like a six second animation and I'll
I'll make you one of my pieces. Um
I've been like putting crazy amount of hours into building prompts and stuff like that. I spent like
I spent four and a half hours today, right before the space, just literally working on
one prompt because each prompt is like a 5,000 word story
that I then format for Grok to make a six second video.
So if I like think of something and have like a 10 minute fucking drift off into outer space
and visualize this whole thing, then I got to compress it into six seconds for you.
And if it takes six hours, you know, well, let's see, six hours at minimum wage,
you know, I'll sell some customs for cheap, give some away, and then I'll lazy mint some
good ones, you know, and people can start calculating the value.
But if each word is like, you know, a stroke of the brush equivalent, then I don't know,
it really is
like making, it's like writing
a book that makes art.
Really.
Like, people keep calling me
an artist now, and I'm like,
I just made some shit. I don't know
what you're talking about.
You're an artist, dude.
So I'll go on a little art journey and see if it'll, you know, cover expenses.
If it covers expenses, sweet.
That'll be my little mark in history on the blockchain.
You know, I love it.
Hey, what's up, Mo?
Come on up.
I finished my drink.
I decided to get another one.
I think I have to have the mango tea.
Mango tea.
Yeah, Arizona mango tea.
My wife really loves the green tea.
She gets it whenever it's on sale.
And they had the
mucho mango.
I was like, oh, fuck yeah.
I think I got some infused mango tea that I got from my home room.
Oh, nice.
Nice.
I'll get that mango pulp or mango puree.
It's just like thick mango juice.
mango juice. It's really like a consistency of like a smoothie. And I'll add that to like
It's really like a consistency of a smoothie.
some Sprite or some tea or, you know, sometimes I'll just drink straight. It's a little bit
too thick to drink straight, I feel like. Very sweet too. I, molecular.
I've been trying to learn more about quantum physics and brain chemistry recently.
It's been kind of going down some weird rabbit holes
that I don't think anyone's going to really be interested in,
but every once in a while, I've got some useless facts on deck.
Me and you both, brother.
I like all those weird-ass documentaries about going into the brain and
all that shit yeah there's like four states of like a quantumly entangled particle and i'm like
looking at the possibility of it like being entangled during a black hole compression or a
supernova because like we're all made of stardust so like we could all be
quantumly entangled particles that make up all of our cells and shit and and and then we're all
actually really like actually connected like that's that and there's four different states
so you don't connect with everybody but you might connect with one two or three or four of the other
ones oh my god tricky you gotta be recording this.
It is recorded.
I mean, I gotta shut up or you'll be deleting this fuck thing.
I'm not deleting it, so you better just watch what you say.
I was just thinking, if I was gonna be a molecule anywhere,
I would be, it would be dirty. It would not be recorded safe.
I just remembered the story that I wrote, which kind of backs up that previous point. It's called Luna.
And Luna's a, like, sentient, you know, soul, sentient energy.
Gone through all the different life, you know, stages,
you know, hundreds of years of different lives and stuff.
Learned all there was to learn, finally ascended.
You know, you get that final stage, basically,
where you're just pure energy. You float wherever you can travel wherever you're not you know encumbered
by a physical form uh you know it gets boring it's like god mode on a video game you know after a
while just like i'm done you know yeah yeah so, you know, I want to be with the people again.
Maybe, you know, maybe I'll experience life again, for example.
Or, you know, get back redistributed.
Luna, at that point, throws herself into a sun,
creating like a supernova,
which just like vaporizes that whole,
one of the whole systems that was next to her
but everything, all of her
like atomic particles
quantumly entangled
with all the
matter in the sun
so there was just a huge dispersion
of her
element, her vibe
bits of her vibe
molecules and elements flying all over space,
being re-assembled and accumulated by other life forms,
carrying, you know, walking around.
And it's just a numbers game, you know,
but basically everything's made of stardust,
so you've got like a one in four chance
of being quantumly entangled to the person next to you.
Isn't that interesting though?
That really makes sense for like twins and stuff too.
Like twins, they're on the same fucking channel
because they were born, you know what I mean?
They're made of the same stuff, born at the same time.
They're on and they're all made of the same stuff.
They're like perfect match quantum entangled particles
that are on both sides, right down.
You know what I mean?
That shows it's like maximum potential of being quantumly entangled to another person.
And they're always talking about how like twins have like almost like supernatural powers, being able to feel and sense the other person.
And, you know, speaking at the same time, the same things, like feeling the same way, just getting a weird feeling when you're far away from somebody
you know oh my brother my brother younger brothers are identical twins so yeah all that shit they
talk to each other in their dreams and they do i've heard them do it i mean they i want to talk
something i'll happen to one of them and then it'll happen to the other one yeah i'm so i'm
trying to go slow so i don't
destroy myself of the world or like cause like the you know the atmosphere to catch fire or
anything so i'm trying to send messages to people uh telepath telepathically and it's it's not a
good success rate but it has been working without me i'm not telling people and shit i'm just seeing
if it works and corrects their behavior or attitude. It's fucking, it's actually kind of cool.
So, but yeah,
it's sent me down these rabbit holes of like, you know,
brain chemistry. I've always been into
like psychology and stuff because now my family's
batshit crazy. So,
yeah. Recently
they're like, your dad is sad. I'm like,
yeah, he's an unmedicated bipolar
guy. That's why I don't talk to him anymore.
Like, fucking take your medicine, man.
It's not that complicated.
You know, sometimes medicine's good.
Hey, Tricky, I've got to say, your intro's going to be a very interesting story.
Yeah, man.
We've got to listen to the beginning, man.
It's all recorded right in the beginning, too.
I play one song and then I do my intro.
Okay, I missed that bit. Sorry. Yeah. Origin in the beginning, too. I played one song and then I did my intro. Okay, I missed that bit.
Sorry.
Yeah.
Origin of the Tricky Booth.
But, yeah, I mean, I started yelling it at Call of Duty whenever – right after I made it up, I was like, I got to get the word out.
So I started yelling it whenever the mic went live in Call of Duty.
And, you know, because it replaced the jokes that I used to tell at the same time to get my team to relax and play better.
When you're laughing, you play better than when you're mad.
It's just true.
You know what I mean?
So I changed the vibe of Call of Duty for my team.
That's why I have like 600 friends on the PlayStation Network.
But yeah, it's been a weird journey.
And yeah, I mean, DeFi Space Donkeys is the DeFi Space Donkeys club and the NFT.
Do you still keep up with those guys, don't you?
The guys you play Call of Duty with?
Some of them, Navy is in the community and around.
Okay, yeah, I know what you mean.
There's a couple of them. I probably gave away like 60 NFTs to people in Call of Duty
for bringing me a rocket launcher, grenades, and like full ammo.
You know what I mean?
I like to do the explosives.
I'll set booby traps and then like have...
Dude, I've gotten a rocket kill from like an RPG
from a helicopter flying like 400 feet in the air. I've like been
like, okay, there's a car on the side of the road. I think he's going to try to go to that bridge,
probably take him like 11 seconds to get there. So when he gets here, I'm going to fire an RPG
there. And I did it. And I fucking, it takes out a whole team. Like everyone's just looking at the
screen. Like, wait, but did you just rocket kill a whole team like everyone's looking at the screen like wait but did you just rocket
kill a whole team like like my teammates were like freaking out i had so much fun playing that
shit and while i was like recovering especially and dealing with all like the health issues
it took so long to get diagnosed and to finally break down and get double knee surgeries on both
legs was kind of a difficult thing to do when the doctor started
to describe what he wanted to do i he got to this part where he said bone saw and i just go
stop right there tell the rest of my wife i approve and i allow her to sign off i'm out
i don't want to hear it till after it's done and so i did one, and then 21 days later, I did the
other one.
like, it was just
pretty bad. Literally had to
walk again on both legs, because it felt like
they were twist off by a giant.
It's the weirdest fucking
feeling. No shit.
Because they cut the shinbone out
where the tendon connects from going over the patella.
And they rotate it 90 degrees with the tendon on there.
Then they move it down and over and just screw it in place.
So it is the weirdest feeling for a while.
Dude, I don't want to talk about it it hurts
oh man yeah it's a little much man it's a little much oh fuck but like man life's crazy
there's been so much bullshit um i never realized like how fucking uh fucked up i am like how
disabled and weird I really am.
Until like recently.
Oh yeah, I dislocated my knees like 30 times.
You know, I had allergic reactions randomly
to all kinds of shit.
My stomach was hurting, you know what I mean?
And this was most of my life
until I got to like 25-ish.
Then I started having some pain in my stomach
and shit from some stuff, and then when
I was 30, I ate some pizza, and three slices just came right back up, and everyone's like, oh, he's
drunk, because it's New Year's, and I'm like, no, no, I just ate three pieces of pizza, so I could
have a base, man, we're just getting started, just barely getting started.
Yeah.
And I was like, well, fuck, if I can't have pizza,
man, I bet there must be something seriously wrong with me.
I'm going to go to the doctor.
And at first, they're just like,
oh, here's some anxiety meds.
You know, here's
some depression meds. You know, maybe
you're just drug seeking.
Yeah, that's why i'm getting a ct
scan and colonoscopies and shit yeah because i want like fucking 30 painkillers every month
so they finally took me serious once i got my diagnosis from the blood test that i ordered
because the doctor never thought of it i did research and found it. Oh man. It's so at the point where I'm like,
okay, no more milkshakes or pizza. Like what the fuck? Now I am finally treating everything that's
wrong with me. And I'm like, Oh, there's a lot of fucking shit wrong with me. Genetic testing is so
accurate though. It could tell you so much cool shit. It's like, it's like it's like hey you're you're uh fucked up in these five six
different ways for that to give you an autoimmune disease and you might be autistic you know i'm
probably also depressed i'm like yeah okay great thanks for that uh i mean, I always knew I was weird, but man, the test results confirm.
Oh, yeah, absolutely, bro.
I'm definitely one of a kind, for sure,
for sure.
Man, everybody is
a result of our fucking environment.
Yeah.
Despite our best choices
as it starts, you gotta
learn all those lessons, you know,
either yourself or from an elder.
Hey, we got Juergen.
What up, Juergen?
Fergen McGurgen?
Here, I'll throw you a mic.
Come on up.
What up, Juergen?
It's Juergen.
You can retweet the space, quote, retweet the space, whatever.
If you can bookmark it, too, heart it, that'll help.
See if there's a couple people who want to come in,
if they want to ask any questions, present any goals for me to help them plan out
or maybe introduce them to someone, you know,
someone to add to their network that can help answer those problems more specifically.
Yeah, man, I used to just like love doing the research
and I know so much about,
I know a little bit about a lot of things
and enough to know where to look for the information
to find more information about each of those things.
So I can answer most questions fairly quickly
and also speak in a way that's either professional
or literal or like
simplified so i can explain like i'll i'll explain like nfts and blockchain to a fucking three-year-old
you know and get it across you know my 95 year old grandma knew what an nft and blockchain was
and chat gpt you know i taught her all that, she, that teaching her chat GPT was fucking hilarious because she asked me to come in her room one day and help her zoom in on an article, a newspaper article she was, she pulled up on the internet.
Because she wanted to find out this obscure answer to a random question from like, you know, 60 years ago.
And I was like, I don't know where your zoom button is, but what's your question that you're trying to get answered?
And I threw it into chat GPT and got the answer
like within 15 seconds and her jaw just dropped.
She's like, what did you just do?
You gotta teach me that.
What up, Jergen?
Not much, man.
I'm just bumping around in spaces under nine to five, Jergen? Not much, man. I'm just bumping around in spaces.
Under 9 to 5, you know?
See you put up a space, so let me pop in.
Oh, yeah.
Well, welcome.
You know, this is the Tricky Buddha fan club.
Not really.
This is the DeFi Space Donkeys free advice by Tricky Buddha
because I'm an advisor and nobody really wants to pay me anyway,
so I just give away
free hours during Monday and Wednesday. My hours are also kind of expensive these days. You know,
I started off like literally working for tips because if I made, you know, if I added 10%
value to a $100,000 project and the guy tips me well, you know, I make a little bit there,
here and there that
used to be enough then I started charging for my hours at like ten dollars
an hour then it was like 25 now it's like it's 325 I lowered it back down to
300 and I do like a pr like a first consultation for a hundred now that
helps with like getting more business too but I need to just create some sales funnels if i really want to kick it up a notch um you said you had an nft something like that for the um for the for the consultation
yeah uh i'm gonna so defy space donkeys um was just an art project a 10 000 art project
but the the guy who wanted to be the founder,
like a co-founder with me,
who hired me to create everything,
you know, like, I mean, I advertised on Google.
I fucking made Discord, every fucking social,
you know what I mean?
Like I put, I fucking put in some work.
I got it all.
I had 200 followers on Facebook, man.
I made my first social media accounts
for everything, for the whole project.
I put so much work into it when he didn't pay for me. I just took it over. I immediately CTO'd
the DeFi Space Donkeys. Now, if you buy one from me directly, that includes an hour of my time or
a consultation to go over your goals or whatever I can help you with. I'll find out more about you and then I'll just tell you like what I think I can do to help you.
And I'll just ask enough questions to kind of lead to that answer, that set of answers.
But yeah, so that's what the DeFi Space Donkeys is.
And then I started feeling better and doing events.
So I made it that if you found me at an event, we do rock, paper, scissors for a prize.
And, I mean, those prizes go up to like $100.
I remember I ride won this really awesome blue pipe.
It was like a Sherlock from Special K Glass, you know.
And, I mean, there's all kinds of prizes.
I get stuff from sponsors.
Like I got the one time we had the Cheech and and Chong project was a sponsor my homies in dreamland and they sent me like $500 in merch
so everybody who was of you know
Holder who is just like do I have one guys like can I take a skateboard? I'm like no no no those are 120 bucks
I'm not giving away those. I still have two skate skate decks left but in my personal one, but
Yeah, we get stuff from sponsors, you know, and then
Give that away for prizes. I still do raffles on them to like there's certain NFTs that count as a ticket and
Yeah, I do like five-hour tickets basically and then once I get to like the same the value of the things
You know, I just that's it and the raffle and raffle it off
I don't like really make any money off the raffles to be honest
But I give it that way I can you know move a little bit of merch basically for sponsors and stuff like that
Because it's advertising for them when I'm doing that and also, you know
They see me still, you know talking about them, you know, and they're like, that was definitely worth the money.
I'm going to still throw more money at him next time to go somewhere.
So that's why I basically was I was sponsored for the last two events that I went to.
I've never paid for a ticket to go anywhere.
Like I never paid for a ticket. I show up and the first time I did it, I just thrown a rave with Jane
Violet and Ape Reunion in Miami. It was good. I was a bartender the whole time. After that,
we went to this little club called the House of Sex. I get to the the velvet rope and they're like tickets and I'm just like it's tricky
buddha from defy space donkeys I was throwing a rave with jayden violet he said this is the place
to be so here I am it was like me my wife and my friend and they just let us all in I got like
four hundred dollars at four hundred fifty dollars worth of tickets and that was the first time I
ever tried it I was just like you know I'll just try it you know i don't know what i don't maybe i'll try it you know if he's actually working
here maybe i'll get in for free and that's all i have to do is mention his name anyway but uh he
hadn't showed up yet so i was like i'll just try this bouncers don't know who the fuck is inside
they didn't know who was performing or anything about this dj set but uh i think it was just the confidence
the guy was like all right but like yeah now that i think people are actually they're recognizing me
now when i do it i'll come into a new room in a random event and uh i'll walk in like when i first
saw uh louis c rhymes right he's looking at me like i'm a cop he's like can i help you sir Oh, I'll walk in. Like when I first saw Louis C. Rimes, right?
He's looking at me like I'm a cop.
He's like, can I help you, sir?
So I do my intro and he's like, oh, tricky.
I'll stand in a room and everyone will kind of look nervous.
And then I'll do my intro and see how many like heads turn, you know, just to see who can like, who notices.
Like, who notices?
I got recognized at a gas station.
I got recognized at a gas station.
But Trey pointed out that when I do that, like, people's faces, I don't just turn.
They, like, light up.
Like, people are, like, fucking, like, genuinely happy to hear it and to see me.
So I'm really getting a kick.
It's so, like, cool.
It's like job satisfaction, you know?
When you go somewhere, you do the fucking standard line and someone recognizes your voice.
I got recognized from the back when I was in Miami.
I didn't know how that was possible.
I don't think I was even talking at the time. That's the weird part.
It was Blake. Blake was like, hey, Tricky.
I've seen him a couple times in person so he recognized me from the back
alright that sounds wrong
that sounds really wrong
anyway
if you do not know
who I'm talking about Blake is
the Wake and Blake show
every day 8am
Eastern Standard Time.
I made a really
funny track, or helped make a really
funny track for his 1,000th episode.
I might
have to play it.
Maybe see if I can find it real fast and play it.
Do you guys know
about that? The track
called Racks?
Hey, what up, Solo? mark what up see we got blockchain dev in the house we got black angel welcome
welcome feel free to grab my come up I should have just put the settings on
where anyone could get a mic that's I'm following you know that's a good setting
You know that's a good setting
All right, I'm gonna bring it up racks. It's got um a
Day could feel and mr. Darius and me
Which is really weird and awesome
I'm like the DJ Khaled of web 3 just yelling a random stupid fucking line
in everything I do that's it everywhere I go it's tricky Buddha from the five space
donkeys I need to bring another device in here so I can give you guys the
surround sound what's up what's up mark uh maker is it maker or mark i'm just it's maker tricky how
you doing i'm a little dyslexic right i actually believe it or not a lot of people get it wrong
because i took the e out of it so just to shorten it up a little bit that's great awesome well
welcome welcome how are you feeling today i'm'm feeling great. Oh, yeah. That's awesome. Glad to hear that shit, man.
You know, it's not rare that I feel great, but I try to feel a little great every day.
To me, it's a mental choice.
Oh, yeah.
I can feel like crap and then still decide I'm going to feel great.
Yeah, absolutely um bookmark
uh this space and listen to the beginning later the first like like there's a song and then by
the by you know by eight minutes in it's it's like done all the alphas in the beginning of all these
spaces and the title represents that alpha right so you do play music in this space yeah i do random
shit i do all kinds of stuff sometimes we we're just hanging out. Sometimes I'm answering questions as an advisor, but it's really just whatever the community wants to do.
Okay, are we sticking to the topic of the space?
No, no, no, no. That's just for later, for documentation and easy, you know, it's easy to Google and find and then people can play that segment.
Can I show you something cool to go look at yeah
He just left our blockchain dev modest miner and
My group just finished launching soul tricks. It is in live beta
It's at soul tricks.io. It has a gamified and Ft mint
I like soul and it sounds like that's made for me.
Yeah, and the gamified mint, right now we're doing the itty-bitties from Poisonous.
He finished out his Mad Bombs, and now he's on to the itty-bitties.
The way the game works is it basically is the generator.
basically is the generator.
So rather than loading JSONs and image files,
you actually load your layers
and then go through the configurator that Josh created
so you can set your layers forwards and backwards
and get them in the right order and all that stuff.
And then you can go over and set your rarities
and then play the game. And when you play the game, you'll go over and set your rarities and then play the game.
And when you play the game, you'll go into it.
When you hit the start button, it'll show you an NFT,
which is basically just like as if you did a blind mint.
But if you're on desktop, it'll show you on the left-hand side.
If you're on the phone, it'll show you underneath all of the layers themselves. And next to those layers is a lock button.
So you can go through and go, I like the background. I like the hat. I like this,
or I like that. And lock those in. And the traits that you didn't like as much,
you can take a chance and shuffle those. Now now the shuffle will still follow the rarities
from the creator so what is rare is rare and will be rare in the shuffle as well that's cool so
there's been a couple projects that have made something kind of like that uh i don't know if
you remember there's this project around here a while ago that was uh bird builders um and it let you build a full body like bird
right like slightly pixelated there's all these different traits so you do the generator you'd
pick traits you'd make different combinations and then you could mint whatever one you like the most
correct um and there's a bunch of there's a couple ways to do that and i also i want to do that on a
future mint but also have a like a just a grab
bag like a you know a treasure chest that gives you a random set of traits that you can or you
know whatever includes you want okay that that but that's i was actually trying to do that for
two projects that was was the bird build did it follow a generator and you were literally minting
one of ones or could somebody make the exact same bird as somebody else?
I mean, somebody could make almost the same bird with one trait off.
Okay, so it did follow the rules of the generator and one-on-one and all that stuff.
Yeah, yeah.
I mean, technically, yeah, they were all, like, unique.
Yeah, well, this has now been platformized so you can do it anybody can do it
cool well does it doesn't have to just be the birds yeah i'll learn more and you know check it
out i'm i'm an ambassador for uh the platform for um crypto magazine okay. Out of the UK, they made a platform called Liquid NFT Market.
And it basically gives you a little backpack with a stash taking half the sale proceeds and throwing them into different pools connected directly to the NFT.
Gotcha. Connected directly to the NFT. And so as that – like if you were to sell or do a bunch of NFTs at the height of the market and then it pulls back, then you'd still have like half the value just sitting there.
And then over time with transactions either on the collection or the platform, it fills those pools a little bit.
So you could technically get at least half your money back no matter what.
You couldn't lose more than half of your thing.
And then you'd have, you know, there's still upward potential.
You know what I mean?
But it does limit your buying capacity and buying power, purchasing power as a consumer, right?
When you're doing something like that and mitigating risk for people who want to mitigate risk and don't want to have to think about it to take that extra step, right?
Correct.
Plus, you're getting free advertisement by the magazine that outsorted Forbes that one month.
Uh-huh.
Yeah, it was cool.
I've been trying to get them involved in more things.
My NFT is visible in two of their issues.
My NFT is visible in two of their issues.
My NFT is on the cover of a book, and then that was inserted into Crypto Magazine.
Or the cover was, anyway.
Gotcha.
We got black up here.
What up?
How's it going, black?
I feel like you should never just call somebody black
I feel like that's just it just sounds bad
What would you like to be called?
Because you don't read the full name though
Yeah I gotta go with the full black angel right?
Right
So what's popping in there boys?
Apparently only
Men and gentlemen in here
Not even a lady So kind of boring well you know
there might be some there might be some ladies that join us i've got i've got a lot of female
friends i have more i have a higher ratio of uh female to nreal like male followers
than there is on the platform so really so i'm I'm, you know, it's, I think the average is like 31%
and I'm like at 34 or something like that.
That would say.
Considering your crypto is mostly men,
that's a pretty good numbers.
Right?
So how is your Monday over there?
It's all right.
It's all right.
I'm always, always staying positive.
I was trying to do my best here. And we do
spaces on Monday and Wednesday. So
this is the first one I've done
really in like a week and a half because the
holidays just kind of threw everything off.
You know?
Makes sense then.
I didn't know about your spaces on Monday
and Wednesday. This is good. I'm going to
come and support you sometime.
Yeah. I'm recording to come and support you sometime. Oh, yeah. Yeah, I'm recording them, making the title relevant
so people can search it later, putting all that alpha in the beginning and then
hanging out or sometimes we raid another space.
You do the same for my project, but I'm
still working projects, so it's not the right time yet.
Do you want to tell us anything about it or pin anything up top?
I'm not sure if I can pin something.
I don't know what's happening since they update this.
And actually at this moment I'm from the smartphone,
not from the iPhone in here on your screen.
But yeah, there are quite a lot of news that are going on.
If you could put the post in the comments, I could take it from the comments and throw it up top.
If you want me to share anything.
Yeah, my Pinterest is the last one actually. This is the last actual news that is on the project. And there are many others that I'm working on, you
know, to just make them come true. Reality, reality, and
factability and cash flow, you know, before I launched the
collection, which I'm very excited, finally, but before
that, before it takes still a lot,
like two or three months before I launch.
And just to let you know, guys,
it will be an ordinary collection.
And it will be amazing, you know,
because I see the feedback that everyone from the Web2, actually,
everyone from the Web2 actually.
I don't think really too many of the Web3 has the eyes on the project.
But in the Web2 it's going very strong, you know, so being able to create already utility,
working with the company, for the company for five years, you i think i'm i'm just in the right way
and i also like what you're doing in there it's with buddha to be honest you know it's been years
that i know you're around and you never give up you're still here you're still grinding you know
you're still moving and progressing and this is like actually the kind of people that i love to support and hang in our way
you know yeah 100 uh that was the one benefit to the bear market right like being here from 2021
to now basically it was hard you know people couldn't make money so you ended up you were
here for the love of the game you're here for the art
and then you met you met other builders that were consistent exactly yeah i mean i don't really
believe that thing that people could not make money i think for some reason people get a little
bit lazy with the circumstances and the environment and everything and uh everyone can kind i remember first day i
come here i was like shocking surprise and i was happening exactly uh about my my profile is from
2010 the first time i made it and i made it for my first company of fashion but then when i properly
get inside the the x in the in the web in the space I didn't
even know what is a space and I find myself in the mic and have to speak with all of the people
and it was exactly in the coffee time exactly when the lockdown started and everyone was like
panicking crazy a lot of this disease coming out you know oh my god it was a horrible dude it was kind of
funny timing like i wish like covid would have happened like six months earlier because i'm like
i wasn't okay i was disabled with crohn's and staying home and like basically i was trapped at
home and my friends when i wouldn't like you know i don't complain a lot but my friends if i did
mention my friends would just like i wish i could be at home that's not so it doesn't sound
so bad right and then covid comes and they're all freaking the fuck out they want to get outside
yeah that was crazy though and it made like uh when first i think you remember the first time that everyone
started there was the board aid and everyone was crazy about this collection.
And then one was like, Oh my God.
And at that time really it was expensive, you know, but they get in the year in
two years, they get crazy expensive.
Like everyone was aping on that.
And then of course the wave of the nfts the real
artist and photographer and this and that and you have to see the artists that coming in with the
procreator no those are not artists that digital it man it was a movie really and it still is today
because now everyone is mad with the AI.
But in the end of the day, it's just evolution, right?
Everything is happening for a reason.
So yeah, it was crazy, and it still is.
Honestly, speaking around, everyone
has his point of view.
Everyone has something to say.
And still, you know, the OGs are in here. I think it was a time when we was having like 25%
remaining in here, but now you see them, everyone is starting to come back. I was looking around,
NFT is real, NFT is like not real. Every art is real to me every everyone has has something to
say in there but i i just like looking this week around and i see photography is back uh oil on
paint on paper is back so all that kind of art is coming back again you know after that lockdown
passed and everything and this is cool because it means we will have good times in here again you know after that lockdown passed and everything and this is cool because it means
we will have good times in here again you know it will be like all world full full of different art
from different sides from different uh inspiration and soul because in the end of the day
it is the brain that created the art but this is the soul that inspired the movement you know so
uh it would be amazing honestly the soul feels it and visualize it the brain figures out how to
recreate it exactly that's what i've been doing recently i've been writing these like
long stories like 5 000 word plus prompts you know that are just you know describing in like poetic detail every aspect of
vision that i had that could be you know six seconds or it could be a 15 minute vision and
i'm condensing it to six seconds so i can give everyone a custom that's exactly what it has to
be you know and and that's not cheating with a that's how you're supposed to use it each word each prompt you
generate is like a brush stroke to the whole thing and i'll literally spent five hours making
one piece today exactly but you know that's the thing is like there are more way and way to use
anything any tool because if i take a pantone in my hand now definitely you need to know how to use it what kind of shadows you need
to do what kind of tool if i take a pencil oil or something i already know oh thank you i already
know if i have to create something like this depends on the size of the of the of the i don't
know how you say it in english but in italian we call it tela. Depends on that. It needs time to drive.
The contract or the payment.
Exactly.
So it's always a thing.
And you always have to appreciate the work that is behind.
It doesn't matter if you like or you don't like what you see.
But just be respectful of the hours and time that person put in there
and the idea that he
has to create something you know no matter what you know so it's like that's pretty much what
everyone should do you know like and everything has some place where it would probably fit in
you're just the right person's got to see it you know what i mean but it all kind of makes either
way if you don't buy it you still get you't buy it, you still kind of enjoy part of it.
And it's like a movie.
You see the perspective from the artist's point of view.
Absolutely.
So I put some stuff up top.
I've got three different ones.
The first one is just my logo that I animated because it looks kind of cool.
It's got four of them.
The next one is one with me and my wife on the back of a cruise ship at the top right.
That one is a must-watch.
Nice.
I like that.
And then right in the very front, you'll see this.
I got four images.
I made this post, you know, Witcher AI and Witcher Raw unedited photos.
And this is from 4-24-2025, right?
So, you know, what is it, six months ago?
So those are four images,
and I want you to tell me which ones you think
are raw unedited photos and which ones are AI.
I love that.
If I have to think on the last ones that you just put in here, definitely the mushrooms
are AI.
Absolutely.
And the second one, I'm not sure that can be even, you know, kind of, but it's, it's
difficult to find that light somehow.
The third one, which is an orchid flower, this one also, it's a picture.
It can be editing and different.
For example, even if you take Photoshop, you can change different, but not even Photoshop.
I mean, even with the phone.
The options are AI or an iPhone 6.
Okay.
Literally.
Okay. or an iPhone 6. Oh, okay. Literally. Okay, okay.
So, yeah, the first, let's say the first two are made with the phone
with the effects and change and everything in there
because it's very easy.
And the first one, the mushroom, I totally think that's an AI picture generated,
which is very nice, you know, the mushrooms and the way.
The mushrooms are from disney world the flowers are my wife's birthday present the flower was in a random pot somewhere and the light was in vegas in this really cool room and i didn't
think you would come out there's no filters there's no edit there's no lenses nothing it's
a standard raw photograph and you have good lens in there i don't know what
phone you're using there but that's cool though to be honest no no yeah no lenses or any kind of
adapters just yeah just a flashless you know so i'm gonna do something with them are you gonna
mint them or just they're they're all i think they're all minted actually really the two of
them are in the super rare singles collection.
There's none of those listed, but for a while there was like a couple listed for like 1.6 Ethan.
Wow.
Coral eyes in there though.
Bravo.
I mean, you have to dare them.
I always say to myself, like there is nothing that can stop me.
At last, it's me.
So until somebody comes to stop me,
it first is mentally me that I say, no, I mean, why flood?
No, I'm like, so every time you have to think,
it's you that stops you before anyone tries to stop you.
These are like the first things,
because sometimes we have this
uh fairness or probably influence or probably watch brain or probably you know look around
and see the trend fuck that shit you create your own reality this is like you know so that's
yeah that's what it's all about man you gotta like manifest and visualize that win
and then if i can stay positive to get there true true
is that what i actually did like i mean when i created this collection that has to be class to
come out i wanted something special and different and then I started to mix different little babies
of animals that I really love.
And in the meantime, you know, I said, okay, cool.
But why should I stop only here, you know?
It is useless if I just mint a collection in any blockchains, but then I don't give
him a life after or before you know so then I start to
create collection and then I start to create a platform for it and then I start to create
a skincare for for with the name of the project and then lately I just start and I published the first book of the infinite edition
that has to come, it's already available
in Amazon and they already
start to sell a lot
and the range, the age
is just dedicated to the little ones
it's from 4 to 8
and now next
will come
they will come
I'm thinking to do an AI movie to make like old story, you know, of the book.
But I'm still figuring out which kind of software should I use because I really have so many.
The only thing that the AI doesn't generate more than eight to 10 seconds.
So that's kind of heavy.
You're limited right now with the free tools anyway.
Yeah.
But you can buy a professional and unlock longer and longer ones.
So you can make a full movie if you wanted to.
That's my goal is I wanted to make little cartoons to show the origin story.
Yeah.
When I minted all this stuff, that was back when OpenSea didn't even have bulk minting.
I lazy minted like literally 1,600 NFTs.
Whoa.
It's fucking like, you know what I mean?
Yeah.
Back to these four images.
They are all raw photos, right?
No AI in those.
All of those don't use any AI.
And I'm going to keep a lot of my photography, I feel like it looks like AI.
But how did you get those mushrooms, though?
Where did you get them from?
Those mushrooms are three feet tall at nighttime in Disney inney in the avatar section so they're fake mushrooms
but it's a real you know photograph my god i love that you know there was actually remembering me
the word of avatar in there to be honest i was just in this evening i was schooling in disney
plus and because that's one of my favorite channel i watch i know, maybe it looks like childish, but I love
it because from there I get my inspiration
as well. And I was
scrolling and seeing Avatar,
but then now it has to come, the last
one that has to come out, and it's in
cinema, so I'm waiting for that one,
to be honest, because I see them all.
So that's why these mushrooms
and all that
blue light in there are from Avatar.
You're right.
Yeah, those are really awesome ones.
I only minted like some of my best.
You know like how photography is.
You take 500 photos.
Exactly.
You know what I mean?
Especially nowadays with digital photography.
I would say click, click, click, you know, or just make a video and take the best frame out of it.
You know,
that's the best.
So yeah,
I've used to like the last,
I don't know.
There was like a 15 year period where I literally bought the best camera every
year.
Cause there was a big jump in the pixels and like the resolution there for a
minute.
It's like,
it was almost doubling every year.
So I just, I got a new camera like every year, you know, it had to be freeze minute. It's like, it was almost doubling every year. So I just,
I got a new camera like every year,
you know,
it had to be freeze proof.
It had,
you know,
cause I,
I wanted to take it skiing.
I'm the guy who like literally ski circles around the group and videotape
from like all,
it looks like there's a drone flying around the family,
but it's just me.
I can literally face any direction and ski any other direction.
Wow.
That's a lot, though.
That's a lot.
That's a lot.
I like to go backwards.
That's how I slow down, actually, is I spin around backwards.
And then just keeps, you know, keeps.
Sometimes, there's one time I actually spun down, like, halfway down the mountain.
Just spinning the whole time
just because I wanted to see if people would think I was actually just out of control.
You know?
I got like halfway down and was like getting really dizzy.
So I was like, all right, I guess I got to stop.
That's crazy.
And how's your list?
And Solo Breezy. We got to down here and Solo Breezy.
We got to make them come up.
I don't know if you want to come in here.
I was hoping we get more artists and women in here then.
Don't worry.
I did my due diligence.
I retweeted space.
I don't know if you guys retweeted, but you should.
And invite your fans.
Let's pop up this space
because why not?
Deserve it.
I'm going to tag some friends
because there's people who are like,
oh, I should have come to that thing again.
Yeah.
Free advice.
My hourly rate is expensive as hell
because I have very little good time like i
there's i only can't you know i'm not gonna i'm not gonna do some project when i'm feeling like
shit and got brain fog and i can't think straight you know what i mean so i have less good hours so
but when i do have good hours i get paid decent i just don't have enough of those good hours to
live right now because it costs me like an extra 20 grand a year to live
with this fucking all these autoimmune issues
well I remember I hear
something about you
I'm sorry
I just remember
I hear something about your
personal story and I didn't
know for real I didn't know for real.
I didn't really know what exactly is happening with you behind that harmonious voice that you have in there.
Because you see, this is the point, though.
There are lots of people like lazy and boring, but they just don't appreciate life, you know.
So I hear him speaking that whole time.
I was like, man, really.
That's for sure.
I went through a rough years there like the 12 it was like 12 years it was really rough i mean i was so useless
i was like you know what let's get those double knee surgeries because i can't do shit else
like it was it was bad for a while and eventually i was was just like, I can't be sad anymore.
I'm over it.
You know what I mean?
I'm not going to die immediately.
It's just going to suck.
But I'm over it.
I got a really high pain tolerance anyway now.
So I'm just grateful for every moment i have that's decent
right at this point you know so but i mean you this means you are a winner in life you know
because as i said before image there are people they don't have what you have they didn't pass
in your infer that you passed in there you're still here and you're still vibing and you're
still happy to be you know there are people doesn't have nothing on that and they're always sad and mad with the next person.
Now that's not something that you are not appreciating.
My intro spawned after doing all these jokes online to my team during Call of Duty.
It was so persistent with the jokes or yelling out defy space donkeys and then you know making people laugh just having that positive like thing i was thinking about like locked and loaded ready
to say because you know you're gonna blurt it out when when the mic goes live you only have like
a second and a half to say something you know like fuck you or camper a lot of people just
say really bad negative shit you know like know, like, fuck your mom.
And I would just say some ridiculous joke or what would sound like the end of a really, really crazy story.
Right?
Yeah, I remember.
And she ate the entire guy's leg.
Anyway.
So back to you.
I remember you.
I think when we first have a lot,
it was on the Turtle Space, though,
on Level Away.
There we have a lot of fun.
If you remember those fans, Jesus.
He's more on Arena,
and I just haven't seen him recently.
I miss him. He's awesome.
He's a vibe for sure.
But he chose to be in there
because in there he gets a lot of tips.
So I can understand the guy
who he really created
his community and he's going so
strong. I was so happy to see
how strong he's going over there.
But still, I tried sometimes
but then in the end of the day,
here I am, back in Ix.
I don't know why I have this feeling.
But it's crazy.
Arena, if you know how to dominate it,
it's really make your day, honestly.
I mean, I feel like girls get pretty good tips,
multiple.
If you're a talented artist and a female,
you got two different audiences just throwing money
at you.
I'm going to put a cute
girl picture as my PSP.
Just to see what happens.
Because Tricky's kind of
ambiguous. You can't
tell if Tricky's necessarily a girl or
a guy, right? Tricky could be
a girl. Who knows?
Who knows?
Is this enough to change your or a guy, right? Tricky could be a girl. Who knows? Maybe I'll be a hotline for a mom.
Is this enough to change your feed, though,
and see what's happening?
I've got six accounts.
I could change it on a different account
and change the name and the bio
and the whole damn thing.
There you go.
I could do it with my mom's account
because my mom's account's almost monetized anyway.
I got her to like 3 500 followers
gary v's your mother are you so big my mom my mom had no way i made the account for her um and what
because one day i wanted her to come into a room and do a bong rip live with me and some friends
because it was the space was sponsored by uh a buddy in the club, Special K Glass.
So by doing that, she got a gift card to get a bong.
So I combined it with two of my gift cards and got her like a custom piece basically.
No way.
That was what I made her account.
So from that point, I built the hell out of it.
And it's basically a good solid backup account. From that point, I built the hell out of it.
And it's basically a good solid backup account.
Or if I want to prank someone, like all my friends are following it. So I could change the name and the whole profile and everything and jump into a space.
And they would be like, oh, that's someone I know.
And they let me up on stage and then I could do whatever bit I want to do.
Dude.
I wanted to post. Oh, yeah, I think I posted it up there, did I? Yeah. Oh, that was just one random post. I didn't mean to post that one. I meant to
post, um, my tricky underscore Buddha account. Cause that's got the, uh, the herbal tea that
I'm making. I spent like the last two and a half years basically creating this like this new recipe for energy and like a sedative tea.
Because I basically I was insomnia.
I was like an insomniac with like restless leg syndrome.
Like those things are fucking it's bad.
Like it's really bad.
There'll be nights where I literally just like fucking have to kick the entire fucking night.
I'm going to take muscle relaxers.
You know, if I don't drink the tea, I'm just
fucked. I went to a hotel
one time for like two days. The first night was
okay. The second night, that was it.
They were real sleeping.
Up top, you can see there is that little
it did not get
posted yet.
There's this little review
by CryptoFam Radio.
Right. What are the guys i got a couple from radio i made a couple old uh like and not animations but just pictures that logos um that some of
them are looking pretty cool i'm going to animate some of those but those are like
potential logos for the label. Okay. And this is nice.
Oh, shit.
What did you do? Okay, so this is how you do your tisana.
Yeah, that's...
He woke up in the morning
and I think he'd like...
I think he did multiple things with
that sedative tea first thing
in the morning. I was like, what are you doing?
He looks so wrecked in the fucking video, too.
It's hilarious.
It's really funny.
We got Trey Dizzle down there.
Everyone make sure you're following him.
I hope you're doing good, man.
Let me know any updates, dude.
Text me or call me whenever.
I almost called you earlier today, but I I just kind of been running around doing random things
But yeah, so I posted that I was gonna share something else, but what the hell was it? Oh, it was my mom's account
That's right
This last year though, I think at this last year alone I got like 9000 followers and
Got a bunch of follows from like all the leaders in the industries you
know which is pretty cool um like you know it's when like moon pay and gary v are following you
you know you're doing something right you know exactly carmen electro is following me. It's funny.
I was just having my account and she just texted me now.
Can you believe me?
It's funny.
I had my account taken away for six months
and I just bombarded them with fucking letters
and emails and shit
until eventually, six months later,
they gave me my account back
And then I got a monetize and I'm like fucking seven days or eight oh ten days. Yeah
Yeah Somebody in the mic I don't know if you see there is the tribe
College Rex welcome
He's up still cool what's up dude
meet meet the angel see it says listener on my screen
but most of the speakers said listener it does say co-host for you oh wow but because tribe
is in the mic i'm not sure i don't hear you we don't hear you. We don't hear you, Tribe. If you want to come down and then come back again.
Tell me what you want.
Sorry, I have all my cards.
He says, Tribe, you're there.
Hmm.
Yeah, he said hi earlier in the beginning.
Yeah, he left earlier, and then pfp popped back in it's kind
of funny but yeah at six we got shorty tall space we'll go hang out over there with some friends
um i so i was trying to look up there's this story i told earlier about luna
you know basically highest uh ascension of life. Of tranquility, basically.
And then supernovas.
I'm trying to find that.
Because that is...
I think I posted that on my mom's account.
Because I changed it to Alien Overlord Broadcasting.
Instead of her name.
It's good.
It's good.
Let's see. Am i back hello how are you doing hi nice to meet you now i was enjoying listening to your backstory actually um black angel it was uh it's nice to hear people from
different areas of the world who are doing different things and the same passion and yeah no it's cool um so yeah it's um i'm surprised we haven't come across each other in a space
actually but um yeah nice to meet you nice to meet you too where you from though oh that's
yeah i'm from the uk yeah? Where in the UK are you?
South.
I'm just south of London.
Yeah.
Well, nice. We are a lot of people from the UK here.
I'm from London too.
Oh, okay. Nice.
Welcome.
So what is your project in there?
Oh, okay.
So I could talk for ages on this, but so we're 3D avatar builders, basically.
So we came into the space as, when I say we, myself, and No Credit,
it's my co-founder.
We were part of a community
called Jpunks and they were a 2021-22 NFT project we were in.
We got in quite heavy.
We were both whales.
Amazing community, amazing people within there.
And the team were London based.
They claimed to have a studio. it turned out they were renting it but
you know by and by um but eventually they they packed in and you know stayed made a lot of money
and left and left everyone high and dry so i tried to cto it i had 20 hours of meetings with that team
and basically there was a deal on the table for us,
but it was a deal where they still maintained some control.
And we said, absolutely no way.
So myself and NoCredits decided, well, what we'll do.
We spoke to the community.
Some of the community put some money in.
And we rebuilt it all from scratch.
So we hired a very, very good 3D artist to build the Rex
who we worked with, Aguinho Morelli, who's in Brazil.
And then the whole idea of the project was what we wanted to do was basically build a base Rex who has all of these different outfits, costumes, et cetera, that we'll swap on.
So we've done it.
Yeah, we're almost there.
Our devs are just working on the back end of the contract.
And one of my posts there was actually about the first showing of the contract. And the, I mean, one of my posts there was actually about the first showing of the viewer.
So that's where people are going to go in, a bit like a game lobby,
and basically swap these outfits on and off, depending on what they've got in their wallet.
But we've spent two years building this.
We've gone to an an awful lot a lot of detail um there's a hundred different
skins for the wrecks a hundred different eyes for the wrecks i think there's around 400 different
clothing traits um and yeah we're almost ready to go so you know we've spent a lot of time, put a lot of work in.
And something we always said was from what we saw from the space, from being investors and community,
was we saw too many teams who were basically just crowdfunded.
So they were going to build something after they minted.
So you'd get your placeholder or just a
static um nft and fm that was going to happen never really happened so our view was well what
we're going to do is we're going to build it all and it's you know it's taken a lot of time it's
taken a lot of money um but anyone who comes in is actually going to get the product.
And that was one of our claims.
You know, people will mint a product, not a promise.
So, yeah, we're almost there.
We've made quite a few collabs.
Obviously, yesterday was our first space after Christmas. We try and do a weekly space.
We dropped three bits of alpha yesterday our
community's been outstanding you know they've supported us throughout this yes a few of them
have dropped away lost interest gone and got married had children you know life takes over
sometimes but most of them have sort of stayed and seen what we're trying to do what we're building and the vision we had so
yeah it's a it's a really exciting thing and i just can't wait to be able to get these out into
people's hands they can be great for ai because you can basically take a an orthographic view of
everything so you can take a side because it's in in 3d take a side view a top view a front view and then ai is basically
getting that really nice accurate picture of your character that you can do stuff with so
on top of that they're they're rigged for blender unreal unity use as well so you know we've kind
of covered all bases but i think for for the majority of people ai is
now the difference between now and 2021 22 that you can actually do this stuff quickly and easily
doesn't matter on how good you are to some extent yes tricky i'll get your point about
the prompt needs to be right and saving credits in particular by prompting correctly.
But, you know, anyone can have a go at it.
That's my point.
And anyone can be a creator now.
I think that's amazing.
You know, you don't need studios.
You don't need all this stuff.
I mean, you didn't with Unreal either.
You can drop something into Unreal Engine and just use your computer.
But, you know, nowadays with AI coming in, wow, what a difference.
And even as a comparison to creating something in Unreal,
I mean, Unreal, you need to create your whole scene.
You need to animate everything within that scene,
all the different characters within
that scene well it takes all that work away so it's even for someone who's a creator who can do
stuff in unity and unreal all of a sudden you saved hours and hours of work um and you can
combine the two so it's a really it's a really cool thing listening to you guys talking about ai is it's really important actually i think it's such a strong tool for everyone um exactly it's
an entry it's an entry level isn't it yeah it's an entry but also it's something that can make
better anything that if you know how to use it you know uh now if you are a talent you are you don't need but even the bigger talents
are going in there to see how it's look if they put a touch on the ai in there and that's how the
perfect things are coming out you know so it just you don't want to be uh properly oh my god exclusive
you choose sometimes she's going to try to be inclusive you know try different
things see different areas see different worlds explore be a curious person never never close the
door to everything because what you close today tomorrow can be helpful for you you know so
yeah and something we've always said we've've loved seeing people learn Blender and Unreal and things like that.
But it's quite a journey.
It takes quite a lot of effort.
Of course, if you work with Blender and you are not an expert, you really hate it.
But if you know how to model it inside there, it's easy as well.
So for the professionals, it's like...
But today, even for that, there are so many tools today
that you can blend with AI.
And it takes like seconds, minutes, image that.
So it facilitates the life to a lot of people.
Some of them, they don't want to accept it.
But, you know, or they don't want to tell it.
But everyone, i'm sure for
curiosity for not curiosity they they tried once yeah and i think there are people who are ai
haters and you know i can understand it to some extent if you're a music artist and
all of a sudden you know there's some amazing apps for that sort of thing. Remember when they said, you know, voice modulation or auto-tune was cheating, you know,
or for art, they'd say, you know, any kind of just electric, you know, what is it?
Like a clip art or any kind of just art that's a machine or, you know, computer generated is not really art.
Like, if we go through waves,
there's always a group of people who are like, slowed on the pickup. They don't know they hate
on it. Like, they just go the opposite direction, you know, at all at all costs. Well, eventually
come around, you know what I mean? What matters is what works for you. And like you were saying
earlier, like, it just opens the field for people to use it like someone without hands can use ai to write to like create
the image that they wanted to right like and you can create it in like the style of your favorite
painter or photographer or you know whatever but i think whatever medium you use to recreate the
vision that's in your mind is like that's just that's what that's what bats an art is you know
it's not just putting in 10 words and generation of you know
10,000 of them to be in a collection you know we're not yeah and I think both will always have
their place I mean if we talk about music for example you know a music artist is a performer
and you know people want to go and see those concerts or you know AI doesn't provide that
so you know that side of it is always going to be there.
But again, with music, I mean, I could sing to save my life, but I can make a song using AI that I can be happy with.
You could write it.
You could write a song.
I can play piano.
We can get AI to do drums, guitar, background vocals and editing.
Right.
But that's the thing is now you don't have to hire this huge team.
You have a $200,000 employee in the palm of your hand.
Yep.
What up, Raster Lee?
Flourish, feel free to come up.
We got to say hi to Begania.
I made him an animation recently.
If you actually look up top,
there is a recent post I made explaining
about my process with AI,
and there's a couple just random fucking prompts
that I made earlier.
So I'll put that on there, Begonia.
Let's hear from you, man.
Say hi.
Tell us what's good.
How's your day going?
Are you there? Come in, begonia.
This is after the beep.
Beep!
Alright, well, we tried.
What up, Flourish? I'm gonna send you a mic, too.
Feel free to come on up.
I jump into so many different spaces,
and it's awesome just finding different fun communities.
People come across Palomay.
Everyone just gets more friends.
The average person who subscribes to me and actually engages with the content
gets like 3,000 followers within like two months.
I remember, I remember there's this one person that had like 12,000 when,
when they subscribed. I want to see now what they're at because this,
it's now like, I don't know, four months, five months later.
So let's see.
Oh, fuck.
What's their handle?
This is when he says, oh, I'm not following them.
They're not subscribed anymore.
Last I looked, they were like at 19 or something like that.
Let me see if they are subscribed. It'll be easier to find their app and I'll be like, that's it. Of course. Duh.
Ah, they are still subscribed. Good. She's at 22.3 K. That's, that's amazing. I took a screenshot
when she, when she subbed, because I was like, I was like, you know, you're into crypto and you're you've got a girl PFP.
I told you you're going to do good. You got double audiences right there.
And a lot of my followers are men that are into crypto.
So like, yeah, during the whole monetization process to everyone was just like sharing, you know, sexy pictures or whatever they could to to get attention I'd take some girl's photo and put it in their reply just to some random post just so it's
pinned a little bit higher up and people are like oh girl maybe they click on it
it which fucking works guys are simple-minded creatures for the first 30 years I only think
about like two things we got food and like that's about it
Begonia when you come back just feel free to just to interject
You don't got to put your hand up or nothing
Just go ahead and say hi
And we're gonna be here for like maybe 30 minutes a little less than we'll go over to shorty towels
And we're going to be here for like maybe 30 minutes, a little less.
Then we'll go over to Shorty Towels.
At 7, there's another space with Mama Bear.
At 8, there's another space, I think, with Salt.
At 10, there's another.
I have a couple of counts.
I'll be all of these places.
So, yeah, there's a lot of good spaces coming up in just a bit.
So, basically, let me understand where it is.
Are you having your space, but also you are in the space with someone else, right?
No, right now I'm actually just hosting.
And I use my other computer for playing music.
My older device does not work.
And the last computer I bought, I also returned.
So I went from four devices
to two devices and one of them I had used for music. So yeah, I'm just here with you
guys right now. You got my full attention minus this really good faith.
I'm like a big positivity and hidden chronic illness advocate and cannabis advocate especially and I leaned into the cannabis
a lot more this last year
and my account
grew three times the speed
just being completely
uncensored myself
I just call people who just know me for like the
longest bong hits in web 3
really?
yeah
here let me go get the bong.
It's a recorded space, but this is medical cannabis slash hemp.
It's less than 0.3% THC, so it can cross borders.
It is completely legal, and I don't have a lot of it.
No, I'm just playing.
Not financial advice.
I made this really big, this really long disclaimer. Or like, you know how they say, you know, not financial advice. I made this really big, this really long disclaimer or like, you know how
they say, you know, not financial advice and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. You know, take
your own risks, your own, you know, go see a financial advisor before any investment.
I made like a five, 10 minute, maybe it's a six minute version of that. It's like every
fucking disclaimer you've ever heard or seen rolled into one
really and it starts off with i think it starts off with like
hello we've been trying to contact you about your car's
oh my god yeah i mean i've been a little bit absent like for a few minutes because i'm
on the other line with my accountant and actually uh as for my account and as a sole trader we have
to close the year and then pension payment and all this stuff like bureaucracy but any country
is different than any country for real uh yeah it's like it's
impressive but then with the company i have another account and it's always like don't don't
don't every day there is so much so much to do so i apologize if i i miss out a little bit the
topic especially when uh third tribe was speaking in there i pay i was paying attention
on what he's saying in there and also uh have to pay attention on this one because she says it's
the only time that i can do this because i have a little baby so during the day she cannot really
work so much i said okay let's do it now it's hard to cram everything into life. There's too many things.
Too many.
Too many.
And I see Raster.
I think Raster is just like, you know, listening.
And then there's V.
I'm not sure.
Probably also for her.
That is late.
And then I don't know who is this. Trey.
Trey Dizzle is the DeFi Space Donkeys community liaison.
He connects a lot of people.
He comes with me to events sometimes.
Yeah, he got to stay in the mansion in Miami.
Cooked him some dinner.
It was like almost a week.
We've had some fun, me and Trey.
Hell yeah.
I'm not going to do an event again unless Trey or my wife is going to be there with me.
They're just easygoing and helpful.
Nice.
I've had a couple trips with friends where they're just not competent.
I just stress them out the whole time.
I know.
When you have the kinds of people it's really like it's make your
work double than necessarily so yeah like in the middle of nowhere almost snowed in
finish your meal at the restaurant and friends like oh i locked the keys in the car
should i break the window or should we get someone to get us a key it's like five minutes
so we had to call a place that was close to my brother who would drive
later i'm like oh my god hour and a half later but fuck it we finally got a new key for the car
i'm like you were not breaking the window and then driving home two hours with the
open window while it's snowing like fuck no just like wait for the key.
Man, you guys are crazy.
But that... I have some bad stories about traveling
with people who just aren't helping out.
But I have a lot of...
I try to travel more and more.
It's hard, though.
It's just hard.
I know.
It's not easy.
I know.
It's not easy.
But I'll...
You know,
if you choose them, you must have a reason.
That's always what I say.
Jesus, you're going
strong in there, though.
I told you.
The longest bonkers in the web.
The voice is saying
when he's just bonking in there.
When I did the
Zaucella event down in Miami
where Trey was there, we had
this huge thing going.
And I had 26 sponsors.
Two-thirds of them
were cannabis-related.
I had three edible sponsors.
I gave away over three grand worth of edibles.
I even had, the coolest part was getting the Cheech and Chong project.
My homies in Dreamland is a sponsor.
And they gave me like all this merch.
They gave me a hoodie and they told me,
like, keep this because it's discontinued.
I'm like, here's a rare hoodie that they don't make anymore.
I'm like, fuck yeah.
Well, hoodies.
You said hoodies?
There are hoodies in the Maranoma Stay collection.
And they are in the red.
It's My Homies in Dreamland.
It's from the Cheech and Chong Project.
You know who Cheech and Chong are?
I don't know who are they.
No, Cheech and Chong are very well known in America and a lot of places for cannabis.
They had a couple of videos.
Right, in America. Do you remember I remember living in the uk though for the moment i would think he would
make it over there i mean like i got i but i watched monty python some things just don't
travel very far though you know what i mean so no it did it did tricky it did make it over here so
uh yeah i i know who they are you know them yeah i don't know them personally
like if if you were like the tech like the top people in the cannabis industry as far as like
celebrities it would be like um uh what's the old fucking guy i would say that the
teaching tonger second um there's there's a the the other ones like evading me right now.
And then there's like Snoop Dogg and then also like Wiz Khalifa.
And there's a bunch of rappers that are like really into getting into weed more.
You can't forget Bob Marley.
Willie Nelson.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So I would say it's Willie Nelson and Bob Marley are probably like at the same level.
Maybe Bob Marley's even ahead because he made some great music and was an activist in a place that it really wasn't like very very easy to do so you
got to give him a little more credit for that so i'd say it's yeah it's bob marley willie nelson
and then cheech and chong like together as one because that's how they come and then like snoop
dog wizz khalifa uh method Man and Red Man are opening up.
Never mind.
That's not released publicly.
Yeah.
They're like number three, maybe.
Two in America, three in history.
I mean, I'd say it's a good credential.
It's a good credential.
But 26 sponsors total.
That was the first year I got sponsors.
MetaRides were just like, we want to sponsor you.
They gave me like $600 of NFTs and stuff to give away.
It was like a little over total.
It was like a little over $8,000 worth of stuff.
So if you came to the houses, the house was like $200 a night per room.
It was a bunch of rooms.
And it came with like a portion of the merch too.
So like
eight people show up
and there's eight grand worth of merch.
Every person gets a grand worth of merch.
People were taking home edibles
and shit.
The whole party, the whole
festival we threw, which had
53 different projects that were in there
and 16 uh musicians
and a couple art like that was that was in miami yeah exactly i think i know i don't know that
event when it was when was what time last year that was like was that two or three it was like two or three. It was like three years ago. No, two years. Yeah, maybe two years ago.
Yeah.
This year's Art Basel, but previous year was one thing.
The year before, yeah, it was Zout Coachella.
And then the previous year, that was the rave that we did.
That was the rave that we did.
The first one.
Because DigiJoin is from there, right?
What was that? DigiJoin is from there, right? What was that?
DigiJoint is from there, from Miami, right?
Well, yeah.
They definitely go to Miami often.
They're just a little north of Miami and South Florida.
I've seen them several times.
And Mr. Darius, you have also one of the boarders in there.
He's a producer of music and everything.
Yeah, I mean, I would say that out of the 16 artists that we hired for Zaucella, I think like 15 or 14 of them have made tracks for digi joints, for digi beats.
They mint them. You can mint them pretty cheap. I was going to play that song, Rax, actually.
So before I forget again, maybe I'll do it.
Because it's about DigiJoint's 1,000th episode, which is a big mark.
1,000th episodes in a row at 8 a.m. in the morning.
That's crazy.
I keep doing it.
He's spinning every day.
I'm like, I could do that if I was 20 still, but not now.
Right.
Well, I think this week I totally understand because I thought there are people like, you know, have like a Web2 life.
But no, I actually understand they are like majority
are just web 3 digits in it like that they're in all 24 and i was like wow you know i didn't really
expect that i mean i was expecting that i was used with this reality in in the coffee time, but after I said, okay, people get back to reality.
Impressive.
There's so much going
on right now. It's absolutely wild.
I'm really having fun, though.
I never thought I'd be here doing
what I'm doing.
I took three speech classes
at three different colleges
just to see if I could get a, be a better like public speaker if I just knew more about it.
No, I was like, I was suffering from chronic depression and anxiety.
That was the problem.
And it was untreated.
Really?
Why?
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's cool.
I was always anxious and depressed.
I never thought about it.
I also had like terrible pains and stuff and like, you know, autoimmune disease.
And I just didn't.
I just assumed everyone was in pain.
But it was a time really when it was like that.
Everyone was in pain.
I mean, every time.
I always feel like there's always people complaining about how they're feeling.
And so like the fact that I'm in pain is no different than anybody else.
So I just didn't complain.
My parents had too much other shit going on anyway.
So we didn't have any health care.
It is true.
It is true, though.
But if you remember the COVID time, everyone was here.
Everyone has an illness.
Everyone has a problem.
It was a moment that I was terrified to open a space because what I was here.
That's why, you know, I remember it was a trend when you every time you see mental health space, mental health, mental health.
There was so much. The dominance was so huge of this mental health.
I said, man, I'm not going to go in there. I was once.
I ended up to be a co-host.
And it was making me feel sick as well, you know?
So I said, no, I can't.
I'm sorry.
It's like, it's not, it's just a little bit of protection for my inner soul, you know?
Because really, you hear so much.
Yeah, and a person like you that's supposed to
share the pain or something doesn't no so this is like the real champions uh energy in there you
know i like i share my journey through the medical system and dealing with an autoimmune disease but
like there's there's a couple things like when it comes to like like crippling anxiety or depression uh little groups of to share
your stories is not actually helpful it's true you need to talk to a therapist who can help
change your perspective and then you can train your brain with positivity or focusing on something
else to to you know hone a skill and and and refocus your attention away from the things that you can't control.
Because it's not...
Nobody really has enough
energy for that shit, and life is short.
It is.
You can spend your time being sad
or you can just focus on something else.
Do something more valuable with your time.
So this is the
track called Racks. It's by
Ade Kefil and Mr. Darius called racks it's by a day kafil and mr darius
and it's featuring tricky buddha i'm in the beginning the middle and i close it out
and i thought there was going to be a bunch of us in this track and when they just said it
i was just like blown away so honored here it goes first rule of fight club is you do not talk about
second rule of fight club is you do not talk about And happy to be here for episode 1000 DJ running back, it's a beautiful day. I hear Art Basel banging me the back to Basel, hanging in the Airbnb.
Probably too high, Shazone, but I can see.
I might be spark of the month,
tapped in with Moon Queen.
Milga said, send it.
I go postal on a G.
Do the Harley go crazy, everybody out they seat.
There's somebody in my ear asking me, what's a meme?
I'm like, what the do you mean?
I'm deaf to the noise, I'm with Skid City for coins.
The price's numb, so I got a bag of coins.
I grabbed a bag of Quakey, cause I've been in my pond lately.
Grabbing everything from homegrown creations.
Music out the trunk, banging, this is building.
Hyping the building, like gold takes no limits.

That was funny.
It sounds great, dude.
It's all just full of inside jokes between the whole fam over there at the DigiJoint.
It's hilarious.
That's the track we beat.
There's 202 minted right now out of 2000 really oh yeah that's nice yeah i think i have like 30 of them i give them away
to my subscribers and random like giveaways and stuff like that i try to give away if i do get a
bunch of revenue i want to be able to sweep floors later. But like right now, it's mainly just giving away sponsors stuff like contributions.
Yeah, well, this is a good way to, you know, to encourage following, to give support to people that, you know, support you.
So it's absolutely legit when you bring in there.
And it's just two bucks. I just made it like, it's just enough that, you know,
it's more of sentimental value to me as a monetary, right?
And I'm like, here, you guys, take a, get a custom.
I spend hours on, you know, for two bucks a month.
Cool.
What up, Chikki?
We got a new buddy in the house.
What up, Chinese?
Chinese Zodiac.
How's it going, man?
Dude, how are you doing, man?
I just stopped in because I saw this.
I see your profile picture. You got the...
What's a donkey, right? Is this a token you created?
We have the first donkeys on the blockchain.
The DeFi Space donkeys back in 2021.
Launched by Polygon.
Lazy minted 1600 to OpenSea before there was bulk minting.
That's what I had to do because there was no fucking tools at the time.
That's when we all called it BrokenSea.
And yeah, it's gotten a little better.
It's gotten a little better every time.
I'm grateful to be on this piece.
And that track, dude like i've made a
lot of like a ai tracks for what i've been in but is that that was like a legit track huh
yeah yeah no that was those are those are artists that are friends and they also also performers for
our zaocella event down in miami when we had those 16 artists that we they we know a lot of awesome
people there's so many talented people around here once
you still move around and you know you're open to meeting people it's hard to get people a lot
but you get to a certain point where it just starts to grow exponentially you know i um i was
going to start a token um about my like music and my life and stuff like that. And I was going to just do all that stuff.
But I love that you just shared that, man.
So what am I looking at here?
The Tribe Called Rex.
Is that your community?
No, that's the buddy who was – he's in the room.
That's his project.
I was sick.
You could also check that out too.
Yeah, man. I was sick. You could also check that out too. Yeah, man.
I'm new to this space.
Like I've, you know,
I've been on X for a long time,
but I've been trying to build something
and I'm just trying to connect
with different people.
Like I see you've been in this for a while
and I don't know.
I'm just trying to look forward
to meeting good people.
I have a solid project I'm developing.
But you guys can check out my page and stuff like that.
I'm not trying to go and promote and be –
This is the place for a lot of people.
I like to – you come.
You share.
You share your goals.
I give you tips and tricks on how to do things more efficiently.
how to you know do things more efficiently i really appreciate that dude and i give away my
I really appreciate that, dude.
time monday and wednesday uh four to six or four to seven p.m eastern standard time sure i just
kind of like donate it to like you know holders get first dibs subscribers next and then whoever's
in the room and we always we always get to everybody but yeah you stumbled here right
as we're about to go raid shorty tall space we were just hang out chill and smoke and laugh and stuff but yeah man i'm gonna i'm a tokenized advisor that
group by space donkey is a club uh membership plus if you get it from me it comes with the
consultation okay so dude i want like legit people um so i guess like would you mind if i sent you a
dm and i could just share because i don't want to go and blast myself.
Well, okay, what I would do is go to my page and subscribe.
But also follow the DeFi Space Donkeys account.
That's the club account.
The Tricky underscore Buddha is now my herbal tea account.
I have six accounts.
By one point, I was a delegate of six as well.
So I had 12 accounts with, 1.5 million combined following.
It was fucking crazy.
Tribe, go right ahead.
I appreciate you.
Thank you for your time.
Yeah, man.
I'm glad we connected real quick before the end of this.
Yeah, I was just going to say, Chinese, I don't want to run through everything again.
This is a recorded space, so there's bits you could go back and listen to.
But, yeah, I've given you a follow. We do run a space for Tribe Called Rex called The Matrix every
Sunday it's evening for me it's probably Sunday lunchtime depending where you are in in the US
I'm guessing you're in the US but no beautiful yeah more than happy on any of those spaces or in our Discord to tap in and explain.
Yes, I love that too.
That must be listed on your page, huh?
Yeah, it is.
Yeah, so, but yeah, anytime.
And yeah, we're there within the community all the time, so we can just talk people through.
So, yeah, and, you know, Tricky's been here a long time.
We've been here a long time, but Tricky's known by absolutely everyone.
I met Tricky through, I think it was originally Green Pill Collective,
but obviously by Mama Bear as well.
So there's some great people in the space.
And being new, you know, navigating your way around isn't always that easy.
You know, you're trying to find the right people.
I really appreciate that.
That's massive, and I like the clarity in this,
and even the fact that you guys let me even share even the little bit I did.
I'm really happy.
So you guys are probably ending this phase slightly spin.
We can stay a little bit, and then we'll lead out with a Clay John track.
He's another one of the performers who's also a DeFi Space Donkey member.
And he has over a million followers on TikTok.
He's always streaming over there because you get tips and stuff.
But over here, I told him you should make an account.
And I start sharing it.
So he starts posting it a couple times a week, and you guys can follow it too.
He's got a music video pinned under his pinned tweet.
He's up to 1,500 followers.
Let's go.
Huge.
I'm looking forward to holding spaces soon because I want to kind of talk about what I'm
what I'm planning um and so like if you do see if I ever have a space if you feel like dropping in
and just checking on it um yeah I mean you can tag me in the comments um my dm my dms get flooded
because I'm in a lot of group texts I'm in like 60 group chats so like perfect yeah if you send
me a dm I have to scroll down like like 80 dms to find yours so if you send me a dm i have to scroll down like 80 dms to find yours so if you send me a dm it
might take six months to get back to you okay but if you join me in space you're gonna get me
or if you comment on my pin post or my most recent like post i'll probably see that
the way the algorithm works you know you could even drop your music too because because i enjoyed that man i'm like dude all right i'm in here this is good i dig this do you like uh do you like ai
do you have like an ai that you go to to like search things i mean now most search engines
now have a ai connected to it so you can just add your search bar like i actually use, have you heard of Vidu.ai? V-I-D-U dot A-I?
I generate all my music videos on that
because I make a lot of music
and I make music videos for them.
And that's the app I use.
And it's pretty insane.
But yeah, I use TrashGBT.
It's one of the best at the moment, actually.
Vidu, it's one of the best.
So if you guys didn't know,
go take it because
you deserve it.
I was making a list of new ones
I need to go explore.
Get more exposure.
That one's top
notch for sure.
Yeah.
Good for videos and all that.
Nice.
Sora is very good but sora
in here it's kind of difficult but in the states you guys have more utility with it
so sora absolutely i suggest it to you and then there is pika which is crazy dimension for the
video it's like you have to see what is capable capable to do. These are pretty much the ones that really work very well.
Luma doing good, but not very professional.
Some imperfections you have in there, but the one that the guy said in here, it's good.
Sorry for the coffee pouring.
You got to check out my page.
I'm doing animations for like all my subscribers and holders right now
because I'm practicing my prompt writing.
But I'm basically doing really fucking elaborate prompts.
And there's some hilarious.
What do you use for them?
I use Grok.
I use Grok and I use like either ChatGPT or Perity um to help edit and format and then yeah and i basically
my prompts are basically like a second by second director's like readout like description um and
then add and then i add more details and textures and stuff like like shadows and stuff like that
yeah it's it's like it literally is like each word's a brush stroke
um yeah so like there's a there's some of those prompts i spent like five six hours and maybe
probably you know regenerated like 200 times before i was like i like this one you know
is that you in the shirt rocking the shirt with all the different ai videos you did
yeah dude right on yeah dude check out vdo ai you you need to i
have a subscription um i've got you know like 5 000 something credits over the last year but man
i used one image for myself only one and it like knows who i am it's nuts it like does such spot on
like just that was exactly what I needed you to say.
You use AI. Go
say, who is Tricky
Buddha?
To literally any AI.
Oh, trick. And watch this.
Or you can
Google me and the first three pages are
mostly me.
Shut up.
Are you serious?
And if you ask AI,
it's like a stellar fucking review.
Like, if that was a Google review,
everyone would
go to me instead of the competition.
You know what I mean?
If I said that Google, that's like
perplexity response, if I gave
that in a speech, people would think I
was extremely conceited.
I'm going to check that on my video, man.
I'm going to be like, yo, generate a video
of, say that again?
Tricky Buddha.
I'll check that, man. I'll see
what it generates. I'll send it to you.
I'll try and tag it on the web post.
I've been doing Who is
Tricky Buddha, but yesterday I did
What Do You Know About Me me that's all I said
and it got my name the only thing I got wrong was my age it said I said I was 30. Man are you so
addicted to the AI I didn't know you're such an addicted of the AI I don't know look at that
I'll post I could post my prompt for that last video under it, and you'll see what – you'll be like, okay, this is ridiculous.
In the notepad on the phone, I have to scroll, like rapid scroll, and where it keeps going, you know, I do that three times in order to get to the top or bottom.
It's like –
Oh, my god. it's like it started off like a couple paragraphs and then it's like eight or nine paragraphs and
now it's like second by second account and i don't even know dude i love it man i'm glad i met you
guys i have to cruise right now but um i'm gonna look forward to more of your spaces um and here
i'm gonna go through i'm just gonna go follow all of you guys that are in here.
And yeah, I hope I can just see you because I just saw this random community pop up.
I don't even know if I was following any of you.
I don't think she were.
I love how it does that.
It pops up.
It's like this is a fine thing.
Every once in a while you get lucky and you don't find a space full of trolls.
Yeah, seriously. Right.
Seriously. That's what I want to be a part of is like legit people you know not being like fake promoters i'm
like hey i can't deal with this stuff i gave away like i gave away 80 nfts to people who know got
me like you know rocket launchers and full ammo and call of duty or just for friends or whatever uh we started minting in 2021 at three dollars
the highest sale is 0.1 eth
it's 100x in a bear market they're dope too they're fucking fire
and i completely designed every little aspect and i got my i got my artist to build it up and and and make all the
all the traits and shit and then i was like well go ahead and make you know you can make some of
your own and he only made like two traits i think and i i was i just rejected and i was like why do
you swap this one out for the disney hat and if you actually look at the time stamp there's a couple traits that i have that were not traits that were common before and now i'm i was the first donkey now
there's uh space donkeys there's defy donkeys there's golden donkeys there's uh lost donkeys
there's donkeys on soul and there's a donkey coin and there's bored donkey yacht club i'm the new motherfucking ape oh now that's cool
that's crazy i'm gonna retweet your space before i cruise um we're gonna and we'll lead out to
this clay john track too um because he is amazing and i want to play the Clayjean track called Strings.
Which is a duet, basically.
He has another guy.
And yeah, it's a nice collab.
So we're going to leave out with this and then raid Shorty's space.
But this way you can hear it as you're leaving.

Say what you want.
Take everything. Baby girl, you're cool, beast.
No way.
those are just artists that are here in web three chilling with us.
We're going to go rage.
Shorty tall space that started like 12 minutes ago.
And I appreciate you all coming through.
Turn on those notice.
You know,
subscribe for $2.
I'll make you some cool shit and give you tricks and laughs and positive
energy.
That's worth far more than $2 a month.
So I've given away like over like $1,000 worth of merch and stuff from sponsors.
And I think I've made like $600 of revenue.
So I'm doing pretty good.
Why not?
I mean, it's a pretty good value
you're doing a great job my goal is to get it to like a 60 value or if i could get 5 000 people
at two dollars then i could just keep it at two dollars right yeah you can do that that's what
i'm trying to do if i can get if i can get like a thousand by the end of this next year,
then I'll probably can keep it, you know, $2.
If not, maybe I'll change it to three.
You know?
I don't know.
If it gets too expensive, I can always... You are in the testing mode, so you see what's best for you.
Deciding from now in three months and take a decision.
I put effort into things I enjoy and I can do
and whatever pays off
and opportunities arise from that.
Crawl through those windows or doors
and break down some walls if I have to.
That's what you have to do.
Yeah.
I just say,
visualize the win, stay positive. We got this. Up top, let's what yeah, and I just say visualize the win stay positive like and we got this
All right up top. Let's see we got so make sure you're you're following clay john that defy space donkeys account
All my other accounts all those are good pin tweets to check out
Um, so the one that's that's back here from 41 minutes ago. I'm gonna put this one back up front real quick
This prompt I literally spent like hours and hours making this prompt because it has to do three specific different things that go together in one single fluid shot.
And it's just been giving me trouble.
But this prompt is like a 5,000-word prompt.
And you can see it there now up front, I think.
And then I'll find ShortyTalls space.
I'm going to retweet it as well.
So when you're going to my profile to turn on those noties and or subscribe, you'll see that it's like my first thing under my pinned tweet.
And join us at ShortyTalls.
It's also good fun.
A bunch of stoners.
A bunch of jokes.
A little bit of music.
Let's go.
See you soon, Paul.
Appreciate you all.
Thanks, Tricky.
Closing it out.
Join me Wednesday.
Same bat time.
