Full Transcription
Thank you. Did you short all your shorts and long all your longs?
did you short all your shorts and long all your lungs
i don't know bro i'm just saying the market's been crazy today
yeah no i i threw a couple darts at it the other day but i i failed that mission yeah i understand
i understand it's kind of crazy out there. A little volatile.
It touched
120 today and now it's at 118.
Damn.
I was trying to catch the top
so I can come down.
You never know when it's going to come down
and I was just late on it.
Then I was like, fuck it. Let me try to catch
it coming back up and then it still wanted
to go down.
I get that. This is bullshit. so then I was like, fuck it, let me try to catch it coming back up, and then it still wanted to go down. Right.
But yeah, look at this.
I get that.
This is bullshit.
I totally get that.
I don't know.
Crazy shit.
What'd you say?
I said I'm closing that tab.
Yeah, I'm like, hmm.
Yeah.
Kind of crazy, though. Looks like the timeline's a little i don't know the timeline seems off lately that's broken yeah it is what it is i know papa
fucking hates x you see uh the bearish account actually got taken down a bunch of the bearish
and they're they're over an abstract i don't know why they're losing their accounts left and right.
It trips me out.
Those are big accounts, you know?
And I see a bunch of people getting their monetization back.
Did you ever get to set up your Stripe shit?
No, I still got to do that.
I got to figure that shit out.
Yeah.
Yeah, that makes sense.
Yeah, you'll definitely want to do that.
Because then hopefully, shit shit is it next week
is the payout wait it's not it's not this friday right is it next or do you know next friday i think
next friday okay yeah joe mama's gotta stop his stripe shit
makes sense to me how's it going babe i didn't know if you were going to show up today
did you see that there's a
another AI thingy that you can talk to
and it like replies to you and shit
uh you mean besides
grok
there's a ton of them now
complexity
and whatever
yeah there's a bunch of them that will reply to you but i feel like you obviously
you can't do those too often or else they'll be like yeah it's manipulation or or it'll get you
like shadow man kind of thing at the at the release so gotta be careful with great power
comes great responsibility that's the thing you'll never see those bots
i don't know when they're going to figure that shit out but you'll never see those
liking and bookmarking they're not able to do that function i don't understand why
but do you know why babe like the technical side I don't get it. You have ideas? Oh, yeah.
Exactly.
Yeah, exactly.
That's crazy, though, because all the automated shit.
I mean, I know people right now who are paying decent money to get their accounts monetized through the automation.
But they end up becoming eligible, and then they lose their account right after.
And the reason is,
is because of exactly that they can tell that it's a bot.
So I don't know.
Why is that babe?
Why can nobody's AI fucking liking,
bookmark?
I don't know for sure,
but it could be like,
um, like it's not an option in the API.
I don't know.
Interesting.
But, yeah.
Okay.
Interesting.
I didn't know that.
You see Sock Puppet here.
So, first of all, I love sock puppets.
PFP, that shit really stands out.
But do you know what happened to me, babe?
So you know how we got our one-of-ones yesterday?
Yeah.
I had my migraine, which shit, I guess I haven't really gotten rid of.
But I was actually, I had a post.
I do this shit all the time.
I had a post queued up to do a thank you.
And it didn't go out today.
And I was like, what the hell?
Because I want it to be during one of my more, you know, more active times on X so that people can see it.
And I went and looked and I did it for a whole 10 days later.
So, you know.
There's that.
I mean, at least you got as far as to start it.
I was, last night, I, you know, granted,
I can't say anything because he's here.
But I was going to, like, I was looking, I was like, okay,
tomorrow, you know, I was thinking this last night, I was like, tomorrow, I'm going to go ahead and make something special.
And I'm like, so I was doing a little research, but okay, I got the perfect idea, right?
What happens today?
Day from hell at work.
Yeah.
Just fucking, oh.
Day was your Monday, bro. Dayay bro day was well no it was even
worse than a Monday it was like a Monday after um like you know summer vacation or something
it was like I don't know like just getting blindsided here and there and everyone, like, you know, the world is on fire.
That's something about the energy today, though, babe.
I can't even tell you how many people were hitting me up and calling me and messaging me and messengering me and calling me on all different.
I must have had three different applications,
people trying to call me today.
So I feel like the energy has been a little bit,
just the world is on fire.
You know,
but chicken little running around with his head cut off,
you know,
he's like,
the sky is falling.
I feel like that's how today's been.
Well,
I will tell you Mercury retro is right about to go into retrograde.
So it,
it, Oh, fuck.
Is that bad?
Yeah.
Fuck's sake.
I mean, bad in what way?
Everything happens for a reason.
There's always, you know, upsides and there's things you do and blah, blah, blah, all that bullshit.
Okay.
But let's just be very
Let's understand and support one another
During this retrograde time
Yes, it very well
Could be a little chaotic
Okay
Especially when it comes to communication
Oh god, not communication
Yeah
Over the next, let's see, how long is it supposed to last?
About a month
Oh babe don't even tell me that
That means that we're going to be arguing for a full month
And it's happening
During Leo which
Yeah
There could be
You know drama
I don't want it
You're speaking this shit on me bro
I don't want it Keep it over speaking this shit on me, bro.
I don't want it.
Nope.
Keep it over there.
It's going to be different this time.
It's going to be so fucking magical.
It's going to be so different.
It is.
It's not going to be like the last time.
Exactly.
You said it was going to be different and it wasn't.
It's not going to be like that. It's not, Jed.
It's fucking not.
What did they say?
Like, you know, you know,
I actually totally forgot what they were saying.
You know, but you forgot what you know.
I know how that goes.
The definition of insanity.
Yeah, I know.
Same thing over and over again.
On the backing doors.
Yes.
Oh, my God.
Joe Mama.
Joe Mama, you caught that shit on my, on that space they had me up
on today. I knew you did. I was laughing so hard cause they don't have a clue. Oh my God. So that's
actually just so you know, creep crew, I work for them. Um, so I always go to their spaces and,
uh, so I go to their space, but I usually don't get up on stage.
Um, cause it's just been a while and I don't know.
I just don't.
Um, so they not only tried to pull me up like they usually do.
Usually I can kick back and ignore them.
But today they called me out and they were like, mama bear.
So I was like, fuck, my boss is calling me.
So I had to get up there and go engage and, you you know, they're good guys over there, though, for sure.
But I didn't know because I saw you go over there.
And I thought I saw I made that comment.
And I was like, oh, John, mama knows what I'm talking about right now.
I saw Babs, too.
Babs, I appreciate you showing up.
Yep.
How's everybody doing?
Not everybody talk at once or anything
shit man fucking
tastic i'll take the reins
all right they're bringing
back the cocaine for the coca-cola
um wait
i thought they were bringing back regular
sugar they're bringing back like the cocaine
like from mexico
i don't know maybe
you remember how many people were actually Cocaine, like from Mexico. I don't know, baby. Oh, God.
You remember how many people were actually addicted to Coca-Cola because of the cocaine?
That was like a thing.
I remember my grandma, because we lived in El Paso, so it's right next to Juarez.
And we used to get her Coca-Cola from in Mexico because it had different ingredients than the States.
And she said it tasted better.
yep.
It's a real thing,
bro.
Looks like,
Trump's going to make America great again by Coca-Cola.
Do you guys like Coke or Pepsi better?
Coke.
Coke.
Okay.
How about you,
Joe?
Mama.
You like Coke better? I like Coke in a can. Okay. I like Coke in a can. Yeah. How about you, Joe? Mama? Yeah.
You like Coke better.
I like Coke in a can.
Okay.
I like Coke in a can.
Yeah.
How about you, Babs?
My father-in-law is all about Pepsi.
Oh, no, no.
You're good.
No, I don't drink either of those.
I'm not a, I don't like the fizzy stuff.
Me neither.
I'm not a fizzy kind of person.
It's funny.
I used to drink a lot of soda.
And then I remember when I stopped it, this was many years ago,
I actually lost just 20 pounds just from stopping soda.
And then I had got on this medication.
It's actually for migraines but also for anxiety.
And it completely changed my taste buds, and I can't stand any soda anymore,
ever. I can't stand any fizzy nothing, nose fizzy waters. Keep all that shit to yourself. So I don't know, kind of changed my taste buds. I am 100% with you. But when I lived in Germany, we used to
have Coke, but we would put lime in it.
And then I remember when it came here to the States and everybody's like, oh, Coca-Cola came out, put a lime in it.
And then it had like this whole song.
And it was really funny because always when I lived overseas, we always put lime or lemon into our sodas.
So, yep.
Yeah.
And I just have to admit, I was one of those people contacting you on let's see how
many how many platforms did we use how many different ways can i talk to mama there about
three different conversations no it's all good i'm telling you that's when i was just trying to
respond to you i had four different phone calls coming in. I mean, my laptop was ringing. My phone
was ringing. I'm like, how does, how do people even know me over here? Like, it was amazing. I
had, I had Ebo hitting me up. I mean, everybody, you guys, I've talked to, I think I've talked to
like seven people just from web three today. It's been pretty impressive. So lots of, lots of lots of potential synchronicities happening in that my friend you have to just
whisper oh yeah i am not thinking that i'm gonna mess up that that mercury record retrograde is
gonna mess up everything yeah papa keep that shit to yourself i mean it can't it can if you're not
if you're not aware of what can be happening in your life, but if you're aware and you can be cognizant of these things, it might help me like deal with some of my scattered energy.
I'm like, oh, OK, it's being it's being even heightened so that I can even work on it some more or something like that.
There's different ways for me to look at it, you know.
So I always try and look at things in the.
Yeah. Yeah. Um, so I always try and look at things in the, um, yeah.
Yeah.
In ways that are, you know, and it's a great time to focus on relationships because things
will pop up.
And it's especially like you, you, you and Papa Bear are aware.
So it'd be like, oh, this is the perfect month to work on our relationships because
it's just normal.
Something's going to be coming up and then you can always blame it on Mercury retrograde,
you know?
That's true.
That's very true.
And then you say, okay, so we're just something to work on.
You know?
Yeah.
Papa's definitely the one that's into this more than I am.
I'll be like, God, what's going on?
And he's like, well, technically the scars are aligning and this and this and that.
Yeah.
Well, it's interesting because if you think, like, I think, I don't know, Papa Bear, what you think about this whole thing,
but I often think about, like, with the moon and the moon swings like we are made up of like, I don't know, 70 percent water or something like that.
And you think of the ocean and how high and low the tides go in that body of water and that swing.
So if you can imagine that the moon and its pull affects us also because we're made so much of water.
That's what I often think about.
So I think with all these planetary shifts, it has stuff to do with just kind of like the energy that's getting pulled and shifted around.
And it's a great time for clearing stuff up.
That's kind of what I think.
I don't know.
What do you think about that, Papa?
I agree. And I think that's, that would be the scientific way to describe, you know, how does the moon influence us or why would it, you know? And so, yes, I do agree. And yeah, when it comes to the, like, murky retrograde and things like that, it's, you gotta find the, how to make the best out of the situation, right?
I agree.
If you know that maybe this is the time,
instead of trying to jump in headfirst on things, reflect.
Do shadow work.
Do things like that that kind of, you know, introspectively,
you know, introspectively rather than trying to necessarily go out and, and, and, you know,
get all tied up into the whole, the whole potential chaos, you know?
100%, because it also means if you think about it, like we've talked about this here before,
like there'd be other people who will be like unawares and they're, they're in our orbits and they're going to be going a little bit cray cray,
right?
Because they're,
they're salts,
they're water in their body,
swaying their energy,
swaying everywhere in their bodies.
But if we can be a balancing,
like a,
like a buoy for them to be able to just ground and not take things as
personal during this next period of time.
What a great practice for us.
And what a wonderful thing to just keep reminding us over this next month,
you know, just reminding us as we meet,
you hear every so often on Present to Present, like, hey, oh, yep,
that's what's happening and it's not about us.
And let's keep ourselves steady so we can help this world.
It's going a little cray-cray right now.
I actually read something about that,
about how important it is to recognize that all people are not on the same vibration.
And it doesn't mean that one person is above somebody else or further along in life because we're all on different journeys.
But it's the fact that if we were all just in the same place, what a boring place it would be.
And we wouldn't have any way to grow and to flourish and to learn from one another. Because that's, that's just what
life's about. You know, some people are vibrating at a different level and they don't even realize
that. I think that's something, Papa, God dang it. You weren't supposed to message me that in the middle of this. Fucking Papa. Okay, I'm telling him what I said.
So I had gone to, God dang it, Papa.
God.
Okay, so.
That was a complete joke.
Yeah, but you said it across the thing and it came across my thing and I was trying to be so mindful.
Okay, so I messaged Papa and I said, oh my God, is it me or is Babs talking really fast?
I messaged Papa and I said, oh my God, is it me or is Babs talking really fast?
It happens when I go into another application.
I get like a call and I come back and it'll be going really, really fast just for a few seconds.
So I messaged that to Papa and the man messages me back and he said, it must be the cocaine.
Fucking Papa.
How was I not not gonna laugh at that
what's awesome as well is like like when you hear the you know hear a laugh like you know
like what they just did or what they saw or you know whatever like that
no seriously have you guys ever done that in spaces? If you get a phone call, if you go listen to something that has an audio,
if you come back into the space, everybody's talking really, really fast.
And I don't know what the technical reason is for it, but it was like, holy shit.
And I was like, is it just me or is Babs talking really fast?
Fucking Papa, don't message me anymore.
I think it's like trying to just like catch up.
Yeah, it's weird, isn't it?
Okay, that is probably what it is.
So it's happened to you too, Jen.
Yeah, it's happened in the past.
You're not alone in this.
It's definitely not because of cocaine.
I know, I know.
I, you know, unless, you know, unless maybe it is.
We just don't know.
But yeah, you know, for some reason, when you you said cocaine it reminded me of columbia
something that i learned today about columbia did you know that it's that something about columbia
is the the three c's of columbia do you know what what they are no i just know about the um
the three c's for diamonds tell me i guess can I guess? Can I guess? Sure, you can guess.
Papa, be appropriate.
I'm not in the mood.
Well, I mean, obviously, the three that came to my mind would be coffee.
Okay.
Okay.
Probably cacao.
All right.
You already got it.
All right.
Just stop.
And then cocaine.
He said okay
All right
Jed, never ask Papa, bro
This man, he's like his own
Encyclopedia
I think he's grokking everything
It might be
He looks super smart
Yes, yes
That is what I would like to tell myself
So it's cocaine, cocao
How do you say it? Cocoa I would like to tell myself to. So it's cocaine, co-cow.
How do you say it?
Co-cow?
Oh, thanks.
I just like chocolate. Yeah.
Fucking chocolate.
You can be normal.
Okay, thank you.
You know, a normal human being.
Okay, so chocolate, which I love, by the way.
Cocaine and coffee.
Hmm.
Okay.
Interesting.
Holy cow, cocoa beans.
Cocoa beans. interesting like you know cocoa beans cocoa beans have you guys ever actually had fresh um cocoa plant i guess it's like a uh it canga actually showed it to me i'd never seen it before
they have it in um nigeria where he lives and he's shown me the plant in it and it's like a fruit
and they open it up and it has like these really big seeds in it and
he says it tastes like chocolate. I've never had anything like that in my life. So have you, babe?
No. Well, there's some cool fruits out there, bro. I'm gonna look it up because you're making
me think I'm wrong. Cocoa plant. Yeah, no, I've been there. When I went down to the Dominican
Republic, we went to this store and they showed us the cocoa plant. Yep. Oh, cool.
Is it soft? It's like kind of gooey, isn't it?
I don't know. I didn't see that part of it. I didn't see that part. They pulled it out,
but it was a big pot, at least the ones that they had there. Yep. That's amazing. Did you
have a nice time there? Yeah, I like the dominican republic i've been there a couple times so yeah the people are very nice
driving is insane crazy yeah i heard insane but yeah otherwise it's a good place the people are
like i said the people are beautiful my my brother and the way no My niece's husband is Dominican. He's the nicest guy.
Okay, so my daughter's boyfriend is Dominican.
And they actually have a, yeah, amazing, just such kind people.
And, oh, and he's so good to her.
Oh, I love him.
But he actually, they have property in the DR.
And so they got to take her her and she said it was fantastic.
It was a huge shock for her, you know, because she's never been anywhere like that.
And I think they started at the resort for a few days, which they had a blast.
And then they went out to where he, you know, where they live.
And it's, you know, it's very different.
They don't have like sinks and you know the toileting
everything is just different so I suggest anybody that can ever travel to I don't even know if is
that considered a third world country definitely I like to call them developing countries thank you
okay that sounds nicer developing countries yes yep um it gives you a different perspective in life for sure. 100%.
And just beautiful, beautiful people and so much connected more with relationships and the earth.
Their families too.
Don't they seem to be more?
Oh my gosh, yeah.
I agree.
I agree.
Yeah, that was probably one of the hardest things that I saw when I was in Egypt was there were literally children on the
side of the road begging for money and for food. And I'm talking two-year-olds, you guys. And it
was such a culture shock to me. I had never, I had experienced that when I was younger over in
Mexico, but never as an adult to see such things and just how different life was.
It was really amazing.
But you're right.
That's actually the most beautiful people I've ever met to live in developing countries.
I like that.
I'm going to have to remember that.
Jed, have you ever been out of the United States?
Yeah, you have.
Oh, you haven't.
Have you?
I have not.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay. Not yet. You will. Yeah, totally have. Oh, you haven't. Have you? I have not. Okay. Okay. Okay. Not yet. I, I, you will. Yeah, totally. Yeah. Um, I, I, dude, one thing I didn't know, because I, like, a couple of buddies, uh, and I were talking about Columbia and one of them had been there before. And, uh, he was telling me something really interesting. I didn't but you know obviously um columbia is very well known for their coffee um you actually can't get
the best coffee from columbia in columbia you have to get in the states dude that sucks
that's like it's because they transport only the best of the best
to the states. So when you're in Columbia, you can't, you can't find the best coffee there.
That sucks. They transport it all out. And then they got to pay a shit ton more money to even
have what's right in their yard or in their backyard. It's interesting because I think that
happens a lot more often than we think. Washington State is the home of the apples. And we actually get the worst of the apples because we export them all.
And then same thing when I was in Idaho, they actually don't get a lot of the really good
potatoes because they export them all. It's interesting how that works. It is interesting.
It's almost like we prioritize making money off of our own.
Oh, no way, bro.
Of our own products, you know?
Yeah.
I was actually watching this thing earlier.
I wanted to bring this up.
I'm glad you just said that.
I was watching this show a little while ago.
And this young man, he basically, I don't remember what the show is called, but him and his sister
have gone to this summer home every year at the beach.
It's their mom's best friend, right?
And so the mom's best friend, it's the mom, the best friend, and the lady who owns the
house, the best friend, she actually has two kids.
And every single summer, they go back there together.
Very well-to-do family.
And of course, you know, the girl and her brother and the mom are not.
Well, he had actually gotten this year because they're older.
He had actually gotten a job at a country club, of course.
He was over at the Snack Shack.
Then he had gotten kind of an insight on a card room.
So he started working in there.
And he was so excited
because not only were these people tipping him really well,
he was able to serve them alcohol only being 16,
because it's kind of like a club where things are a little bit different.
So anyways, he was serving them, and he'd made a decent call.
They're playing poker, and the guy asked him,
well, what do you do with the twos? And he's like, well, I play the twos. And, you know, it leads up to it
where it ends up well. And he gives him this chip, you know, which is obviously probably a hundred
or 200 bucks, which is a big deal. But a couple of days later, you know, he keeps coming back and
he's so excited. And, um, the guy actually makes a racial slur to him and he says, yeah, um, all
you fucking Chinese people, I swear you come with a him and he says yeah um all you fucking chinese people i
swear you come with a a textbook and you guys get into all these elite schools just because you're
chinese and you know just going on and on and uh he he walks out yeah and he walks out it's really
sad and he walks out and he goes over to talk to one of the other guys and he's like do they always
talk like this and he goes something i've learned is to never sit there and try to gain respect from these guys
because they don't give a shit about you. And the kid, he's like, you know, he's 16. He's like,
I don't know if I can do this. And the other guy goes, well, it's definitely just how it is for
people like us. And that's just how they are. That's how they're going to be. And just take
their fucking money. He said, when I'm out on my boat and I'm smoking my cigar, I don't give one, two shits about those guys.
So it makes the kid change his perspective and he ends up staying.
But another employee was talking about like how it's just so horrible and toxic.
But it brought me back to the idea of like, what will people do for money?
You know?
And when you have, because they'd brought him over his tip right when he was
like at that pivotal point in his day.
And he's just like, I don't know if I can do this anymore.
Dude pulls out an envelope.
He goes, well, this might help you reconsider.
Gave him over like $300.
And, you know, he's trying to impress a girl for their summer and blah, blah, blah.
But it's just very interesting to me about how much money can change things and how we can change even the way that we feel about ourselves or our own usual morals in order to do something for money.
You know what I mean?
I don't know.
It just kind of fucked with me a little bit.
So I wanted to, when you brought that up, it reminded me.
What's up, Babs?
Yeah, it's crazy.
Go ahead, Jed. Did you have something? I want to share something that happened to me when I was in it. No? Yeah, it's crazy. Go ahead, Jed.
Did you have something?
I want to share something that happened to me when I was in it.
No, no, no.
Okay.
You go ahead.
Go ahead.
Okay, so I haven't really shared this.
It happened to me at NFT NYC.
I was at an event.
It was a smaller event.
We're kind of in this auditorium.
There's a founder there of a pretty big project, quite high floor price.
It's not like really super big or anything, so I don't think I might know who it is.
But anyway, like, so something had fallen down on the floor in front of him,
and a woman bent down to pick it up, and it was kind of like at his feet.
And a woman bent down to pick it up.
And it was kind of like at his feet.
And he made this comment that was just like totally inappropriate.
And the girl goes, well, what the heck or whatever.
And he says, hey, I'll give you $1,000 to do that again or something like that.
And I'm like, I was like shocked.
talked and then and I said like I was like dude stop um or or I said something and he said hey
And then I said, I was like, dude, stop.
I bet you'd do it if I gave you one bitcoin I'm like hell no I'm like no way am I going to sit
there between your legs and do anything um for a bitcoin like f you there's not a amount amount
of money even if it was just picking up something in between your legs, just the thought of it and what you were saying about it.
I was just, like, shocked.
And he was like, it wasn't funny because he knew I wasn't laughing about it.
So I was just like, I was a little shocked.
I don't know.
What do you guys think?
Was I overreacting or was I just being a prude butt?
I don't know what mama bear would
have said but I was like there ain't no way you could give me enough money to do that yeah no
that's a bad choice when men decide to talk to me like that I can tell you that first of all
I'm not I'm definitely not somebody who's like don't do that or whatever but I will be like
what the fuck are you talking about you talk to your mom with that mouth you little bitch oh I
would have said something much worse so yeah I but in in my thought, I would have been like, oh, I'll do it. I'll take the Bitcoin and
then I'll clown on you in front of all your friends. So, but I do, it's, it's disgusting.
Some people just have this, I don't know. I actually was telling Papa yesterday that I was
in a meeting and I felt very dismissed by the person that I was in a meeting
with. I had seen the way he was moving with somebody else and he just thought he was king
shit. And actually I told Papa that if he does want to come back and work with me, I'll probably
charge him a shit ton more just because he's a prick. It's not awful. But like the way he treated me was so bad. Oh man. Yeah. Well, I like, I won't,
I had thought about buying into that project or looking more into it. I'm like, no, I'm done. I
am not gonna, if that's how you present yourself and then you present and you try and make it like
be normalized. Like when, when the, when the woman was uncomfortable with it in the first place.
Yeah.
And then you try to make it normalized by saying, oh, you would do it for money.
Oh, yeah.
They're just trying to further, you know, justify his stupid ass behavior.
Oh, I totally agree with you.
Exactly.
I know Jed would do. Yeah. Fuck him. Yeah. If I was there and I saw that shit, I, I, I,
yeah, I'd see red. Yeah. Yeah. Well, that's the thing though. People don't, people don't say
anything a lot of times and that's really hard, especially when it's a female that's in that
position. Um, but the reality is, is as long as time has been, I mean, you think
about the back in the day, I want to think like back in the 80s, right? Like my mom, she was a
stripper. She had, she used to work at the bartender, you know, she was a bartender. And
that was the lifestyle she chose. She made a lot of poor choices. But a lot of the people that we
knew that were strippers, it was, oh, well, this is how I'm
getting through college. This is how I'm paying for my kids' schooling, whatever it was. But the
thing is, I don't think people have like this goal to go and be a bottle girl, you know, or a
goal to be an escort or to, I just think that people will do a lot of things for money and it doesn't just have
to be females. I think there's tons of men in this world who will end up, I don't know, kind of like
you just turn the cheek to what other people's behavior is. Cause you never know, Babs, somebody
maybe on his team despises the way that he behaves, but doesn't want to pipe up because
they're getting that money too. So I don't know.
I think it's a very common thing for sure though.
I do.
And just the arrogance to think that anybody could be bought.
That's one of the things I love.
I know.
The arrogance that anybody could be bought.
I'm like, no, you can't buy.
Exactly.
Just, just, yeah.
And it would be tempting, but like, no, my integrity,
I know that money isn't going to get me my, my, my happiness.
Yeah.
Money is just a thing.
Yeah, totally. And I can,
I can say though that I'm pretty vindictive like that though, like I said,
because I could have done it for a different price and that was my exact words
to Papa. I don't know, but if he does want me to work for him,
don't you know his bitch ass ain't getting no discounts and I'm going to charge
him even more. I don't know. No, no shit. Like, you know, not that it matters because it's over with
Pabst. I'm sorry you had to deal with a fucking piece of shit like that, but God, oh my God.
Could you just imagine if we all want to NFT NYC together one day?
I think we might.
Oh God.
Yeah.
You had like me and AJ and Ebo and fucking Joe Mama.
Oh God.
Oh my God, dude.
Oh shit.
We might have to have bail ready.
I hope somebody is videoing that because we would definitely make some good content.
Unintentionally.
Yeah.
But I feel so safe.
That would probably be the place where I feel the most safe.
Like I could go and be cray, cray, cray, cray, because I know you guys would be watching me.
Exactly.
You can do whatever your heart desires.
You're protected.
I know.
That's what I love.
I don't go to these things.
I am just me.
I don't drink.
I don't do anything.
I don't do anything because I'm like, I'm alone.
But if you all were there, I'd be like, okay, I can be a little bit.
She might have to drink.
Yeah, I know.
That's awesome.
No, exactly.
Exactly.
No, but everybody should, I don't know.
But everybody should.
I don't know.
It is amazing to me though, what people feel that they are just from some money.
And I've seen it not only in web three, but in real, I mean, like, it's funny because
we go to some meetings and these people are all very business people.
And Papa would actually talk to me about this because my entire demeanor changes.
When I go to those board meetings, I get very, what do you say, babe? Mousy, very quiet.
Yeah. You just, you're like, you shrink down. You're like, you're not vocal at all. And,
and you know, yeah, it because, yeah, submissive.
And it's because of the energy that I receive from them, it's as if I'm not even good enough to be in their presence.
And I think that that's what I experienced yesterday as well from that person that I had met with.
And it's just, it's tough because I don't know.
And I asked Papa, how do you deal with shit like this? It's a constant
dick measuring contest. You know, it's just this, oh, this is me, and this is how much I have, and
me and the old lady have been doing this, and, you know, is this even worth my time? It's like,
bro, like, why? I don't know. It feels very gross to me, and I don't know how people deal with that
in the business world. I assume AJ is very used to it.
Papa, I know you are.
Jed, I assume you've dealt with some dipshits like that.
What is it?
Why do people think that they can just – how do you guys handle things like that?
I honestly think that I've had not a fuck ton of times, but I've had a few times in my life where I've had to deal with dipshits like that.
And honestly, not one time did I deal with it and I got any fucking pushback from them.
Oh, interesting.
So you're kind of like, okay.
So did you do it just energetically or did you like say something like, you know what I mean?
Oh, it's been both.
I mean, I feel like more times than not, I say something, you know, with girlfriends in the past, with my wife in the past, things like that that have happened out in public before we go to concerts and things have happened or whatever the fuck it may be. You know, and I don't know what it is.
I think that there are there's a demographic of people out there that grow up extremely privileged in
whatever way you want to put it. And they are never challenged. They just,
they just hit that luck that like, you know,
you're at the casino and you just get lucky and lucky and lucky, you know,
you never lose, you know, and they just go through life like that.
And they don't run into somebody like me or like right you know and then
when they do it's like what the fuck was that right yeah it's almost like they don't it's almost
like they don't know it actually reminds me of elon and trump you know when these two go back
and forth like fools first of all you guys are acting like complete fools secondly nobody is
hanging around them and telling them hey hey, you're acting like an
asshole, you know, knock that shit off. And I think that that's a problem. And it's so accepted,
especially when it's for the elite to just be told everything they're doing is right. And
everything you're doing is amazing. I can't see how that's helpful or helps people grow.
grow. Yeah, I don't, I don't know. Interesting. You know, it's funny too, because I am the most
like docile, like passive kind of person, you know, I let a lot of things, like, I feel like
I have a good judgment of like, you know, when to let things go
and when to like, you know, uh, put up a fence or, you know, stand, stand up against something,
you know? So it really does take a lot for me to do something like, and to say something. Um,
but I feel like, you know, I don't know when something happens and you just know
in your gut, like this is fucked up. Like, you know, like you can't, you can't just walk away
from this and then go to sleep at night and feel good about yourself. Like, I feel like I have a
good sense of when to, to do, to say something, you know?
I mean, and not everybody does.
Sometimes people overreact and they go too far too early,
way too early.
And then it creates a whole bigger issue, you know?
And it's like, dude, you should have stayed chill.
It wasn't worth that, you know?
Totally.
Like, and I'm never one to be physical.
Like, I'm not going to get physical with you,
but if you fucking swing at me, dude, like the Baltimore movie is going to come fuck out.
I might try to curb stuff fucking ass.
Like, I I've never fortunately I've never been in that situation.
You know, I've, you know, had a few, you know, physical altercations before, but nothing like that went like prolonged. So, I mean, I don't know. Like, I think I've been
lucky that anytime that those things have happened, you know, it was towards people who
did not expect that coming from me at all. Yeah. But don't you think that you can also
give off that energy? Because I always tell Papa, I worry about him, but he looks so mean. But I think he gives them that energy of
don't even think about it. And they just don't. That's a good thing, honestly. Because like,
you can, you can totally give off that energy. You just look at a motherfucker.
You don't even got to say nothing you just look
at them and they're like maybe i should just like reevaluate what i'm saying here you know like
that's a real fucking thing dude i mean even if they're a you know dipshit just trying to cause
trouble like it doesn't mean they can't pick up on energy you know what i mean oh totally everybody
everybody has the capability of picking up on everybody does i totally agree with you absolutely
let's say what's up sorry baps please go ahead work yeah posture just go in with posture oh
posture is a good one so just even mouth shut and posture just just like if you can't, like if you're feeling like you want to shrink down, work on your body, work on power poses, and you just fake it till you make it is often a good thing.
And you don't even have to say a lot, but just going in with good posture, eye contact, and not saying much, especially as a woman.
woman, if you're not saying much, they're going to wonder what the heck's going on.
If you're not saying much, they're going to wonder what the heck's going on with you.
You may try and come up with some kind of little smart, smart aleck remarks. But by then,
if you're pausing with, if you're within your body, within your own energy, you know, you can,
you can come up with something to say if you want to say something. If you don't want to say anything,
you don't say anything. They may call you a B-I-T-C-H-1 afterwards, but it's okay. That's,
that's what they do because if they can't understand you, then they call you a B-I-T-C-H-1.
Or crazy. I've gotten that a lot too. Yeah. No, it's just, it's been very interesting because
like I said, this journey of me having the space, um, even I was catching myself today when I was
speaking in, um, this other space, cause I've been, um, you know, a mod for those guys for a
long time. And I second guessed myself a few times and I was like, no, no, it's okay, mama. You know, you, your voice is okay too. And, um, and, and that's not the
project I was talking about you guys about this experience, by the way. But, um, it is, it's,
it is interesting when Papa points it out. I'm like, damn, I don't realize that I do that.
And I think it's helpful when you have somebody who is safe and they're like, Hey, why are you,
you know,
shrinking?
Why are you doing this?
Cause then it,
you know,
it gives a different perspective and we all got our base.
I want to say hello to tricky Buddha real quick.
I know you will not come off me until you are called upon.
Hello,
tricky Buddha.
It's tricky Buddha from defy space, powered by Weed on Solana.
Get yourself a bag of weed.
What's up, Mama Bear?
Papa Bear, how's good?
Joe Mama?
Good, good.
Good to see the whole family.
Yes, how are you today?
I'm doing good.
I'm doing good.
I haven't had my voice just leave me in a good day and a half, two days.
So, yeah, I think I'm doing good.
Yeah, you need that voice good job yeah
it might be over the covid that's good um i've got like two tests i could still use but i don't know
if i want to like save them for a little bit later you know before i go to like a family event or
something like that or if i should just check now i feel pretty good so i'll just wear a mask for the
next couple days until i know I'm 100%
but I still feel kind of like wiped out but I don't know hopefully there's not like you know
long long lasting symptoms from this shit who knows I hope not yeah just make sure you take
good care of yourself and the early version you need to rest rest yeah the early version I was
pretty much like asymptomatic and my wife got sick at one point and then it switched for this one. She's no symptoms at all. And I got real sick. So I don't know. It's weird.
You stay over there. I'll stay over here. I did want to say hi. I've never spoken to John Meme Studio. How are you today? How's life?
That's great. Pleasure to be here.
That's awesome, Jamala. Are you there, John? How's life? How are you doing?
Maybe not.
That's okay.
Maybe you can't hear us.
That's all good.
You can take a lap and come back if you'd like so we can introduce ourselves to you.
I don't think I've ever seen you up on the stage before.
He was probably actively looking through his timeline to find that post to share.
You probably can call on him now.
Yes, yes.
John, are you available?
It's always the worst when people call on you when you're exactly...
Oh, he put one up at the top.
Yeah, that's what he was talking about.
Sorry, I didn't see it.
Well, I've had a lot of other things put on my top that I would be way upset about.
things put on my top that I would be
way upset about.
Thanks for being
decent and
not one
time.
Oh my god, that was horrible.
We've all got the same thing.
We just can't unsee.
We're trying to avoid the loss now.
It was fucking disgusting.
It was so... It was the fact that we had to collectively
probably remove a hundred of them
it wasn't even just like a couple
you know it was like they wanted to make sure
more than five I rugged the space
we'll be back in a second
that's not a bad idea turkey I should try that
because let me tell you
I mean that just changed up the whole focus too
It's very interesting sounds
Not the energy I wanted
And they'd stick up there like for the recorded space
Yeah
You probably know that
People are like I'm gonna tell on this mama bear trick I don't know what kind of shit she's showing
That's why you just delete the whole damn thing.
When you come back with a brand new space, do the TLDR and get right back into it.
It's a good idea.
Very good idea.
But yeah, did you guys see that there was a very large earthquake actually today in Alaska?
And I was thinking
about that too, what Babs was talking about, how everything is energy and, you know, how the
planets align and things like that. Do you guys, does anybody think that those types of movements
can also mess with our emotional state or just, you know what I mean? Like chaos or anything like
that, you know, because I? Like chaos or anything like that.
You know, because I know that everything is always in shift, right?
But does anybody know if there was ever an actual tsunami that had hit?
I know that they said that they were seeing some of the beaches suck back.
That would be the scariest shit in the world to me, by the way. I've been like watching this very closely, to be honest with you.
I'm very in tune with the weather as of late.
It's actually pretty fun learning how to read weather
and understand what's going on,
but they reduced it to a watch.
I don't think the NOAA has had any like significant signs
that there is going to be a tsunami,
but I do know some of the coastal
states and the islands off of Alaska there, they still have a tsunami warning. And from
what I've watched and looked into, it's just to be safe, just being extra cautious. They
don't want to reduce it to a watch without letting some more time go by because so far they're not getting
any readings as far as waves and you know swells that would indicate there is going to be a tsunami
but a magnitude earthquake of that degree usually would have to be some sort of tsunami so yeah i
don't understand tsunamis to be honest honest with you. I know Papa said
that it like, sucks the water back. And then but I don't understand like the gist of it. Like I
don't get it. Imagine if you had a bathtub, right? Full of water. And you took the tub, like just
just the bottom part of the tub. You half of that and you just all of a sudden
dropped half of it right and you know like just just to like an angle like in the center like
you just dropped it all of a sudden to where now the bathtub's no longer flat there's like a little
bit of a an angle down like imagine like a like you just like cut it and like dipped half the bathtub down
it would cause a lot of that water to from the these the circumference of the bathtub to like
drop you know and then imagine that all of a sudden now popping back up into place or semi
into place all that water would then ricochet back, you know?
So, I mean, that's basically what's happening.
So that's why it sucks back?
Yeah.
I mean, because when the tectonic plates, when they, essentially when there's an earthquake,
what's happening is that our tectonic plates are constantly moving over each other, you
know?
And every once in a while where those surfaces move against each other, they will bind and it'll keep trying to move and move
and move. And that surface on the upper layer that's binding will eventually reach a point
where it has no choice, but to, it'll, it'll, it'll essentially essentially pop and when it pops like that it creates it creates a force
that will shift water you know upwards or whatever you know i'm not a meteorologist or a geologist or
whatever but just from what i've learned it makes sense you know there's all kinds of animations
you can look at um on youtube on the internet and all that to like, get a good idea of like,
what happens when there's an earthquake, you know, and it kind of makes sense when you watch the
animations. But it is very interesting. I do know that we've just gone into a new solar
area. I don't remember what it is. It's like,'s like i was just watching something on it today
uh we've shifted in the universe everything's shifted i mean i think neptune has gone into a new
uh uh section of its you know solar orbit essentially um and there's a lot of energy that shifts with that. I do real quick before I pass it off.
I do think that we are directly affected
by all the cosmic events that happen.
There was a comet of some sort that hit the sun recently.
And after the fact, there was a large magnitude
of solar radiation that got released from the sun,
like within the last few weeks, and that has made its way to the earth. So, you know, whether or not
it's like, you know, you might not see it, you know, that's the thing about all this stuff. You
may not see it at all, but it could affect all kinds of things on the planet. It could affect
your mood, it could affect the weather, it could affect the temperature,
it could affect animals and wildlife
that are more sensitive to those kinds of things.
It's really interesting when you look into it.
But to answer your question, I 100% believe
that we are affected by all that stuff.
Whether we completely understand it or not, that's up for debate.
But I think we are, for sure.
Yeah.
No, I totally agree.
I think so as well.
It's just I don't think a lot of people understand it.
We had quite a bit of, what were those solar storms, you know,
where you can see like the northern lights, by the way, you guys, that was so dope. But I felt
very different during that time. So I was just curious, you know, because is that what it does
when you said there was the extra that had come off and then we were, you don't necessarily have
to see it, but is that what is created from the sun? Do you guys know about that?
What the fuck are you talking about? I'm sorry, I have a migraine
too. The northern lights. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah. Okay. Yeah, I mean, that's
all magnetism. Right. Have you ever seen that, Jed?
The earth. I have.
Oh, my God.
Yes.
It's the coolest fucking thing.
I've seen it in Alaska.
Oh, my God.
All the fucking places.
I was in Healy, Alaska, which is like two hours outside of Mount McKinley State Park.
I was staying in a cabin on the mountainside when I saw it.
And I got to see the green.
The green. Oh, the green.
Yeah, we had green and we had purple.
Oh, it was phenomenal.
It was the coolest thing, bro.
I have not been to Alaska.
Is it worth the trip?
Absolutely.
100% worth it.
You know, just like any state, there's places that are better than others if you're just
going to try to get the gist of beauty.
But Alaska, like, I don't think you can go wrong, like, with where you go.
Honestly, I personally, if you're going to go to Alaska, you have to go to Mount McKinley
State Park and take the 12-hour bus ride all the way to Glacier Lake.
Whoa.
It's called Wonder Lake.
It's a lake basically completely clear and it's at the center of Mount McKinley State Park.
The only way you can get there is through a bus ride.
They do like tours and all that kind of stuff.
But it's wild.
I mean, you'll see grizzly bear.
You'll see those goats that stand like fucking, what, like 85 degree angles.
I was going to say, you know, they got some core strength, bro.
Like that's wild.
Yeah.
You'll see all kinds of really cool stuff.
Oh, it's awesome.
Oh my God.
I love moose. Whateverose people say moose are
unfriendly but my one would be my friend for sure so um i love moose they're so cute
i only advise you to not get comfortable if you see one i know well they fuck you up
i don't want them to i want them to be my friend.
They are territorial.
So if you see a moose and it's 100 yards away from you, you should be nervous.
Because they run fast as fuck. Oh.
They'll be up in your shit before you know it.
I mean, it's like imagine like like a two ton wrecking ball coming
at you with horns. Yeah, that doesn't sound very cute. I'll just watch it from very far
away. Okay, I promise, Jen. I promise. Find a baby. As long as the mom's not with it.
Yes. Papa, can I have a moose friend? Oh my God, this is a plan. Babs has her hand up.
Oh my God, this is a plan.
Babs has her hand up.
So I went to Alaska last March, not this March, the March before that,
up in Anchorage to see the Northern Lights.
It is a fantastic, amazing, completely awesome experience.
But knowing that you love cars,
they have one of the world's best auto museums in Anchorage.
If you can believe it, Anchorage, Alaska, all these vintage cars.
You can look it up, Anchorage Auto Museum.
They are all functional.
They drive at least once a year except two of them, and they have hundreds.
And then they have also all the vintage clothing that goes along with it.
It was one of the most fantastic things we did, which was kind of crazy.
And we went during the sculpting.
They had an ice sculpting contest.
Oh, that's dope.
Crazy.
Frickin' frickin' frickin' cold as all get out.
But it was an amazing, amazing experience.
Yeah.
Oh, the ice sculptures.
I'd love that. I love to even go see,
have you guys ever been to the beach where they're making sculptures?
People blow my mind with what they create.
I love that so much. Amazing. Amazing.
I'll send you some pictures in the DMS or maybe I'll put in the kind of,
Oh yeah. There's, there's some amazing cars. Yeah. Look it up.
You'd be like shocked. I was, I was like, I'm not a big car buff. I mean, I love cars, but I know you guys are. And it was like,
how the heck did they get these cars all the way up? This is like by the North Pole. It is literally
close to the North Pole. The Anchorage is like way the beanies up in the North it's crazy it's an arctic circle um yeah insane but amazing so
i know and i know there's a lot of bald eagles there you guys know i love bald eagles i actually
saw one today a bald eagle oh yeah so beautiful all right i've got to step down i got my husband
is uh texting me about if i'm going to come out and help make some din-dins. I'm going to sign up. Yes. Hamburgers. Oh, that sounds good.
And nectarines
for my tree, you guys.
If you've been watching my things,
I'm going to grill some nectarines.
Nectarines are so
good. Do you make juice with it or do you guys
just eat them straight? I just eat them. They're white
nectarines. Oh.
I have white peach tree and a white nectarine tree
so they're amazing.
That's beautiful. Have a good rest of your night
I'll see you tomorrow we're doing the book club
I put that up at the top too
amazing thank you
much love everybody
yeah that'll be good
dude
we're talking about Alaska
we need to talk about balto does anybody about what
the story of balto balto never heard of it you talked about the cartoon dog yes that is based
on a real story yes it it really is so in alaska, long time ago, what back in the, like, I think it was in the early 1900s, late 1800s.
They had a huge outbreak of a very, very famous disease. I believe it was tuberculosis, TB. And there were no roads, there were no
aircraft or anything like that that could fly out to certain parts of Alaska, namely Nome,
which is at the northeast, or I'm sorry, the northwest coast alaska um it's where a lot of eskimo um are still
are you know they do all the whale shit whale hunting and whatever else it's very primitive
um so basically they had to use dog sleds in order to transport medicines and vaccines and
supplies and all this kind of stuff.
They would transport all them from Anchorage, right?
Which Anchorage is in the south central part of Alaska,
it's towards the water.
So it's kind of closer to Washington State in that sense.
But essentially they had to get all these dogs,
mainly Huskies and things of that.
Most of them were Huskies and different breeds of Husky. And they would have a guy who was the
dog sled, you know, I guess he was the pack leader, so to speak. He'd be on the sled,
you know, with the reins in his hands and he would have a sled behind him
full of supplies. And then he'd have 12 dogs in front of him on harnesses. And they would
literally travel for thousands of miles through the Alaskan terrain to get to these far off,
uh, towns to deliver these supplies. Well, there was a real dog named Balto, which is the
cartoon that I watched as a child. It's a fan that, you know, I'm going to put it on my list
right now. I got a list of movies that I'm trying to get because I'm just trying to build my
library. It is such an awesome movie. And basically this dog was so resilient
that it was, it actually, the story is,
is that the human that was, you know,
had the reins in hand and was in control of the dog pack
fell ill during his adventure, his trip to Nome
where he was gonna drop off all these supplies.
And there were children dying from tuberculosis. There were all kinds of people that were critically ill from this stuff. And they had no hope. They had absolutely no hope other than this
dog sled. So Balto and his dogs and whatever else, they somehow, I mean, I wasn't there.
balto and his dogs and whatever else they somehow i mean i wasn't there you know i don't think
anybody really knows factually what happened they just know the result like what happened at the end
um balto and the sled they were able to still get themselves there without their human um and they
essentially the the guy ended up on the sled making their way to Nome.
I believe the guy died, but the dog still made it to their destination in Nome.
At this point, it was like hundreds of miles before they were supposed to get there.
And they delivered all these goods and supplies, and kids got the, kids got the vaccine. People were saved. All this.
In Fairbanks, Alaska, which is like kind of central Alaska, there's there's a place called Fairbanks.
And then just north of that is North Pole, Alaska. And it's not really the North Pole.
is North Pole, Alaska. And it's not really the North Pole. It's like central Alaska.
Like Nome is farther north than North Pole is. It's just the name of the area.
In downtown North Pole, Alaska, they have a gigantic bronze statue of Balto.
It's just a huge memorial to it. And know? Um, and you can probably look this
up on Google and find it, Balto statue, Alaska, and you can see it. Um, I got to go see that in
person, which was really fucking cool. Cause I, at that point I was young. I didn't know that it
was actually a real story and that was based on a real thing. And, um, you know, uh, after seeing
it and looking through it all and all that kind of shit,
like, yeah, it was a real fucking story. And thus through all of that, you got the Iditarod,
right? If anybody's ever heard of the Alaskan Iditarod, it's a race that happens every year.
And it's now like a ceremony type thing. You know, we don't need these dog sleds to take
supplies here and there anymore. You know, we've got bush planes and we've got, you know, uh, uh, uh, uh, snowmobiles
and all that kind of shit to get stuff where we need it. Um, but every year there's still a race
and it's the races from, I believe it's from Anchorage, Alaska to known. And it's the same
path that they supposedly took way, way back when all that
tuberculosis outbreak was going on. And it's, I don't know, it's really fucking cool. That's all
I'm gonna say. It's really fucking cool. I got chills. I was just looking it up. That's dope.
They said that's the last great race on earth. They already have their schedule up for 2025.
race on earth they already have their schedule up for 2025 yeah yeah it's wild it really is wild
just to think the things that that humans did you know with their canine companions to
you know uh help people you know and um if you look up look up the story of Balto, because that's a very interesting story.
It really is.
It's like it'll like if you're reading it like that shit will bring you a tear to your eye.
I'm not kidding.
It really will.
I really didn't know they did that anymore.
I remember seeing that on movies when I was younger.
They'd be like mush, mush.
And I always thought that's so mean.
But those dogs are working, you know know that's what they do yeah and I never realized that how much um dogs actually like to have jobs
and animals in general I think that's something I've come to more of a realization as I've gotten
older yeah it's like we're not that much apart you know we like that purpose right yeah that's true yep i didn't think about it like that i saw no credits come up here how are you
hey fam um i'm well thank you i'm getting much better oh good you sound better talking
yeah i know my voice is back hooray um i heard you guys talking tsunami before, and I had just actually watched a video the other day from the Japan tsunami.
And the comment about the water rushing out and then rushing back in, it totally depends on the geology of the location you're at.
This particular video, the water didn't really seem to disappear so much, but you could just see this massive wave coming.
And I just thought I'd explain the little bit that I know.
It's like a high energy, low frequency wave, as opposed to the normal waves we get on the
shore, which are low energy, high frequency.
It's kind of like how 3G and 4G and 5G work for our cell phones. As they shifted to 5G, it's a much higher frequency transmission wave, which means you
can get more data packed into a shorter amount of space.
That's why 5G is great for video and stuff, because it sends a lot of data very quickly.
But the problem is that as soon as it hits a tree, it stops.
Whereas, you know, like 3G, you don't send as much data,
but it can travel a lot further.
And so you need fewer cell towers.
So that's kind of the same thing with a tsunami.
It's this one wave with maybe a sort of an echo prior or after,
wave with maybe a sort of an echo prior or after but it's huge amount of energy into one particular
low frequency wave and as it gets closer to the shore that wave just powers through and just keeps
on going whereas the waves that crash against the beach don't have much energy and they just sort of
come up a little bit and then just dissipate. And the problem with the tsunami is it just keeps on going.
It's got all this energy packed into it,
and it's just lifting the water in front of it.
I've seen video from the Bali and Indonesia and Thailand tsunami back in 2004
where absolutely the beach just emptied,
and then you could see this wave on the horizon. And that was horrific. But then the one in Japan, a lot of those harbors were quite deep.
And so they didn't empty per se, but definitely very destructive.
So, yeah, a really interesting topic. And where I live in Auckland, we have ocean on both sides of us.
We have ocean on both sides of us.
And so we also blessed by having about 25 volcanoes in our city,
which are all dormant or extinct.
But it means that if we ever get a tsunami warning,
we're all like, okay, which is the closest hill to climb
and make sure we don't get washed away.
Well, that totally makes sense.
God, that's a trip.
Yeah, I'm uh amazed by it i know
that was it babe the japan one that caused so much like we've still had things come up here on
our shore right yeah um and we found like shoes and i mean things much later and it's funny the
first thing i did was message papa i was like if if Alaska has a tsunami is it gonna bother is it gonna mess with us and he's like
no I can only imagine this man's just constant laughing at me no no and and the thing is it
really depends on like where like for example depending on the type of earthquake and the way
that the fault lines would move the it would send the waves a certain way and
so when i look to see the like okay well where are they doing issuing the warning right well they
were issuing the warning against like um against the actual alaska coast even though it happened
off of the coast of alaska the waves basically went to the alaska shore
so it depends on which way it moves as to which way the waves are oh yeah yes so for us like we're
part of the ring of fire in the pacific ocean that goes all the way up through japan and up around
and probably down through it's probably the same sort of ring that goes through
California and stuff like that. So in New Zealand back in, I think it was 2011 when the Japanese
earthquake happened, we had a massive earthquake in Christchurch. We had two massive earthquakes
very close to each other, like a couple of days apart, I think. The first one did a lot of damage,
but no one was injured. The second one killed a couple of hundred people and it made worldwide headlines because you know an earthquake strikes New Zealand and people are
trapped under buildings and all this other stuff and it was for a moment we had the world's
attention and then the Japanese earthquake happened and it's all part of the same fault
line, the same plate, the same piece of earth, you'll quite often find when an earthquake happens on
one part of the world, it'll happen soon after on the opposite or, you know, on the same fault line.
So once Japan happened, everyone forgot about New Zealand and it was all about Japan because it was
so much more devastating. But it'll depend where on that ring of fire for us that the earthquake
happens and whether or not that, as Papa Bear
says, that wave propagates towards us. And if it does, then it depends where it propagates from as
to which part of the country is in danger. So it is a really interesting sort of geological study,
but we just rely on the scientists to set off the warnings and the alarms and and you know our phones will do that whole Apple iPhone thing but um we've had a few
we've had a few recently like in the last 10 years we've had a few warnings
but never actually had a tsunami come to us so you know long may that be the case
yeah exactly I sure hope so and you've been there a long time right and in that
particular area yeah okay I was born here so I've been there a long time right and in that particular area
yeah okay okay yeah i was born here so i've been here a long time i always try to look at pictures
every time i every time i hear you i go look up pictures i can send you pictures it's so pretty
yeah that would be awesome i just i think it's so beautiful there um how are they i'll send you
one of my favorite beach because
it's just north of auckland and that's just my i we're going camping there again this christmas
remember how christmas summer summertime that's right that's right i was like why would you go
in christmas that's right we're opposite that's funny so so christmas time for you guys you guys
are out beach bodies and hanging out.
Interesting.
And is Christmas something that you guys are like in your area that you guys celebrate?
Yeah.
So New Zealand was originally taken over by the Maori people back 500 years ago um and then when the white man arrived it was the missionaries who
sort of either arrived with them or backed them up pretty quickly and so we were a very christian
based country from from the beginning from like the late 1700s early 1800s um and so there's a
lot of the christian faith down here obviously you know many more faiths now that the world has
gotten smaller but um but christmas is you know Christmas, Easter, like there's some of the public holidays
that the whole country observes, whether you're religious or not, you get Christmas Day and the
day after it off as a public holiday. And, you know, Good Friday and Easter Monday, you get off.
So a lot of those religious-based celebrations are still in our public holidays.
Okay. Nice. Interesting. Yeah. I got to learn more about New Zealand.
Are there things that are trying to kill me? I always forget.
No, that's Australia. Okay. Okay.
Yeah. So of the top 10 different things in the world that'll kill you,
or top 11, if you include um the of the top 10 things
Australia has the number one of everything they have they have the most dangerous spider
the most dangerous shark the most dangerous jellyfish the most dangerous snake like
they have like top it's a scary place New Zealand's like the opposite there were no
predators here which meant bird life was off the charts we used to have a thing called a moa which
was like a six foot emu um massive thing and and they just hunted it into extinction so yeah it's
a real shame but we have a lot of bird life and until the white man arrived with their rats and
their rabbits and their stoats and their ferrets and all these other crap possums um the bird life
was amazing and now we're trying to
on this path of trying to retain or restore the bird life to what it used to be because
it's no longer as do you have owls uh we do have a a small owl but not owls like you guys have oh
my gosh i love owls so much every time we move an owl moves with us whether it's with us or it finds me i'm not sure
my mom says it's very bad luck i think it's very good luck um but owls are just so dope
they're so cool what is your favorite animal there that you guys just see everywhere that
maybe i would be like what the heck um well my favorite would be the kiwi because it's like the national bird, but you don't see
them everywhere. So when a lot of foreigners think of kiwi, they think of the kiwi fruit,
which was actually a Chinese gooseberry that was rebranded in the 70s and 80s. And
it grows really well here in New Zealand. So the local um whoever they were the growers formed a group
and rebranded it kiwi fruit and started exporting it it's basically a Chinese gooseberry um uh but
no the kiwi is actually a bird and it's flightless so it's real prone to being eaten by anything but
it is a cute little bird but there's just not many of them so it's it's a favorite for that
but my favorite that's common would probably be the it's called the karearea which is a it's like a falcon it's
a small falcon compared to what you get overseas but it's um it's a pine falcon it lives in pine
forests and it's a beautiful bird me i'm trying to google these words and i don't know how to spell that kadea kadea is what you
said k-a-r-e-a-r-e-a oh karearea karearea okay um we used to have a thing called a hast eagle
which was like a eight foot wingspan eagle it was massive but again it just got it got decimated when humans lived in the country.
Man, falcons are so dope too.
Dude, birds are so dope.
I have a thing about birds.
We actually live pretty close to a place called Nesqually Ridge.
Right, babe?
Is that what it's called?
Nesqually?
Docks.
I know, right?
Anyways, we live close to there. And Papa takes me me there and there's all kinds of different birds
it's really neat and people actually travel there to see the birds right babe
yes yes yeah there's like a wildlife refuge yes a wildlife refuge but it's really cool and people
actually go out there and um they hunt uh ducks and I didn't realize how many different kinds of ducks there were.
Um, and one day we actually saw the, what is that dude's name? Fish and wildlife dude roll up.
Did you guys know they create guns? Anyways, dude rolls up, goes out there and then checks this guy.
And I guess he got in trouble cause he killed the wrong kind of ducks. So, yeah yeah i know i was like oh shit i guess you could get fat finds for
that but i didn't know there were so many different kinds of ducks that's my point and birds are really
cool so yeah we get a lot of bird life here um you can wander through the bush and see one of my
favorites is called a fantail you can look that one up um i think it's P. Waka Waka is the native name for it.
But the fantail is a beautiful little bird.
It moves really quickly.
And it's got this beautiful tail that hangs out.
It's about the size of the palm of your hand.
It's quite small.
It's so cool.
Yeah, gorgeous little creatures.
And we'll see them in the backyard.
That's awesome.
Yeah, what we see in our backyard are really, really big fat crows.
Our crows are the size of chickens.
I don't know what's happening with our crows, but they are massive.
KFC bro.
Yes.
Yes.
They are massive.
Papa was like, what the hell?
Yeah.
So we have.
They might actually be ravens.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
Okay.
They're so big. I saw two of them fight at the top of the tree today. They might actually be ravens. Oh, really? Yeah. Okay. They're so big.
I saw two of them fight at the top of the tree today.
And then I saw an eagle fly over them and they fucking booked it.
They were like, out of here.
So, yeah.
I love eagles now.
I just, I don't know what it is about eagles.
Birds are so free.
They're so lucky.
Can you imagine though?
Have y'all ever been to one of those things where you, like, put on this big glove,
and then they'll call it, and it'll just come and just take flight,
and just, boom, just, like, slant.
That is so cool.
I don't know if I could ever do that because they're so powerful.
I love it.
Beautiful creatures.
Yeah.
I found this photo, so I'll post it in the comments of your space.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's awesome.
You can put it up top too.
It doesn't bother me.
You know, I always like it when people, oh, shit, Quack space is happening too.
You guys, I keep forgetting Quack actually changed her space back an hour.
Oh, I forgot about that.
And they are doing TA tonight.
So that's probably where we'll be heading over to after this but i want to see your picture first no credits damn it i put in my favorites
now i can't find it hold on okay no worries bloody phones i know right it's funny actually
earlier i was having to do a post for my brother so So I have to turn on his phone and I have to get
into his Facebook to post it for him because he'd lost a bunch of his contacts. And I go to post,
Papa, you'll think this is funny. I go to post because he told me to do like something colorful.
So I'm looking for a post of my brother. And of course the naughty posts that are in there,
I'm like trying really hard to just scroll through them so that i don't have to have my eyes all the way open um and so i actually click it luckily i did not push send
because one was a picture of him and one was a very naughty video so um i'm glad that wasn't
going on my facebook and i'm glad that i caught it at the top oh yay okay good
oh jed put his alaskan dog sledders up there too dude that's so dope i have to do that have you
been to alaska no credits i have not been to alaska i've been to canada but that's as far
north as i got okay i'm waiting for your picture to show up at the top. It hasn't shown for me yet.
Darn it.
It's definitely there.
It's in the comments too.
So if you go to the little pill down the bottom, it's in the comments of that.
All right.
So sometimes when I can't find people's stuff, I'll actually go to that person and I'll go
to their replies and then I'll find it right off the gate.
Oh, that's beautiful.
Wow.
Can you buy beach property?
No, that land there is actually all sectioned off.
So it's owned by the government.
It's a bird sanctuary.
So to get into this beached area, and this is actually where we camp,
you're not allowed to bring any pets. You've got to drive through these double gates that keep other animals out.
So it's a bird sanctuary on the land.
And actually, the water is a marine reserve.
So you can go snorkeling and see stingray and snapper and all sorts of fish life just off the coast.
It's a beautiful place, and that's why we love it.
Wow.
Babe, New Zealand looks so dope.
That might be one of our places we need to go to.
That would be amazing.
It's very expensive there?
It can be pricey for things, for sure.
But it's expensive to get here because it's just so far away.
Right, right.
But if you know people, then those people can help keep the costs down. Right, right.
That's fantastic.
And this is the last thing, and then I'm closing the space, I promise,
because I could just talk about this forever.
What is y'all's language there?
Is it English?
Yeah, English is – we really only have one language they're doing a lot to try and
bring back the native Maori language called Te Rea Wa Maori and so a lot of schools will offer
it as a language you can learn but ultimately we speak English here but then you know we have a lot
of Pacific Islanders so Tongan and Samoan and Fijian is quite popular.
You find little pockets of communities where they speak that.
There are some parents or grandparents who live here who have come over from the islands and brought their kids over,
and they just never bothered to learn English. So we do have a lot of mixed languages, but by far the biggest language would be English.
Probably second, it would be Mandarin
because we get a lot of Chinese immigrants come here,
a lot of South Africans.
So you'll wander through the shops and hear Afrikaans being spoken.
That's awesome.
Yeah, it's very diverse.
That's really cool.
And it's safe, right?
You guys don't have to deal with a bunch of craziness all the time.
Yeah, mainly mainly mostly safe there
are some little pockets that are starting to get a little bit dangerous i probably wouldn't go into
town like i used to do as a kid yeah um on a friday night that's the sort of place you might
get beaten up now but no it's ultimately safe because we don't have a very big gun culture so
weapons like that you only get if you're in a gang or, you know. Oh, I see. Okay, okay. It's real hard to get guns.
Right.
Oh, my son won't move with me, damn it.
No, no.
What's up, Chad?
You can't carry.
Put it that way.
That's right.
That's right.
Chad, do you have your hand up?
Yeah, I got a question for no credit.
What does the, okay, I don't know't know because you know i'm not from there or i don't
really know many people from there but uh it's like what do you think when someone says like
would call somebody from that region kiwi yeah no that's that's fine we're happy to it's not it doesn't have any negative connotation at all
whereas maybe if i called you a yank you might get a little bit offended because i'm not a yankee
but when i was growing up it was like oh those yanks oh my grandma used to talk shit about my
grandpa because her and him were from the different sides of the mason dixon line and she'd be like damn yankees oh yeah
yeah yeah um we when i was growing up in the 80s uh and if you saw an american car you called it a
yank tank because usually they were massive compared to the types of cars we drive but um
no it's not a it's not it doesn't have any negative connotation at all so we're quite
happy to be kiwis proud to to be Kiwis, actually.
I actually love that.
I don't know of a positive nickname for Americans.
You know what I mean?
Me neither, bro.
That's dope.
I mean, Kiwi, number one, the fruit is fucking amazing.
The bird is really fucking cool.
You know?
So it's like what?
Yeah, but we kind of don't associate it
with either of those.
To us, like if you go to England
and you hang out with Kiwis and Aussies,
that means you're hanging out with people
from New Zealand and Australia.
And it's just like a term.
It doesn't have any connotation at all
other than maybe a little thing to rally around
so it becomes like tribal
and and we're proud of it but it's definitely not something that we get offended by at all
okay okay i was just curious i was i was just curious because i've heard that many times i i
work with some people that are from australia uh not new zealand i'm sorry for you. I'm sorry for you, bro. Sorry for your loss.
Oh yeah, it's just funny. I knew a girl in high school who had a Kiwi tattoo and she had family in New Zealand. And I never used that terminology and I figured this was a great opportunity to ask.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, we had a couple of american um opos who came over and helped us with our kids when they were little
um one two one of them stayed and got married to a kiwi um the others went home we had 14 in total
but some of them are for like germany and sweden and stuff but um but yeah and we've got family
who've shifted to america so we've got family in Colorado and Idaho.
And, you know, so it's kind of cool to have both.
But yeah, I'm proud to be a Kiwi.
And you guys are welcome to come visit anytime.
Oh, yeah, Jed.
Tell me when you're ready.
We're going to go check out the Kiwis, bro.
I am so ready, man.
You got the, well, I don't know about New Zealand, but I do know in Australia, they have like a, every year is RC plane competition, like worldwide.
Oh, that's sick.
Yeah, like they do the world championships for patterns and stuff like that for RC planes, like big RC planes.
We're not talking like small ones.
Dude, I've never seen that.
That would be fun to watch. Yeah. Yeah, that big RC planes. We're not talking like small. Dude, I've never seen that. That would be fun to watch.
Yeah. Yeah. That's pretty cool.
But either way, Oh my God, I would love to go to that side of the world.
Yeah. When I, when I have people come visit us,
they might spend like four weeks in Australia and two in New Zealand.
And typically they say they wish they'd done it the other way around.
I think if you want a big sort of off the grid adventure, Australia is a great place to go.
And if you visit the big places like Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, you kind of get a little bit overpowered by the city side of it as much. Whereas New Zealand, there's so much outdoor stuff
that people come here and then they just think, oh oh man I wish I'd spent more time in New
Zealand so you know I love the Aussies we have this fun rivalry but I tell people if you're
gonna spend a six-week trip do four in New Zealand two in Australia but you know if you've got a two
week trip then just pick one don't try and then try and do both in two weeks you know like it's
really not enough oh that's awesome honestly you know, like it's really not enough. Oh, that's awesome, honestly.
You know, I've been like, I've been diving into like weather like lately
and I've been looking at all kinds of things like globally.
And I was looking at specifically ocean swells, you know,
like waves and stuff like that out in the ocean.
And I was completely fucking blown away.
The Southwest of Australia and like New Zealand,
like you guys have like 30 foot swells going on right now.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's brutal from the Indian ocean and from,
you know,
Antarctica and stuff.
There's a lot of,
a lot of brutal,
brutal wave action out there
are there surfers out there i bet not really i mean i'm sure there are um there are some diehard
surfers who live down in the south part of new zealand who will go out into incredibly difficult
stuff but not like you get like at waikiki or anything like that like you could you could go
from the east coast of america all the way to europe directly across the atlantic ocean
and you'll get maybe in in a worst case scenario right right now like because that does change but
right now you know five to ten foot swells oh really like all the way across the atlanta ocean you know
and right now down that way off of australia new zealand you're getting like 30 35 foot
fucking waves dude that's insane wow i was on a cruise ship coming into sydney harbor
um once we hit the harbor we were fine but the night before traveling towards australia um yeah it must have been 30 or 40 foot waves it was ridiculous it was so crazy
we were watching the video out the front of the ship and the and the almost like the bow
of the ship would go under the wave it was so big oh hell no nope that's a nope for me
though. Nope.
That's a nope for me.
You have to have respect
for the ocean, right? Fuck.
Ocean's crazy. Anybody
who doesn't feel small next to the ocean,
I don't know, bro. I don't know what to tell you.
Something wrong with you. Yeah.
That's wild.
What a beautiful country, though.
I've seen all kinds of pictures
and things like that.
It's gorgeous.
It really is gorgeous.
That should be a bucket list item for everybody on the planet to go and see that beauty with their own eyes at least once.
I think I'm almost positive that that was the place that I was at the vet
with my dog a few years back and this guy was actually moving to New Zealand and um he wasn't
going to be able to see his dog for like a month at least maybe it was a couple uh because they're
very careful about is that right is that probably right yeah I I traveled back to New Zealand after
visiting some friends in the states and one of them gave me a gift and I was it was like a parting gift as I was heading to the airport.
So I just never opened it. And I get to New Zealand and the sniffer dog, you know, sits down next to my case and I'm like, oh, shit, here we go.
And the person comes up to me, says, what have you got? And I'm like, I actually don't know. It's a gift. I haven't opened it. So we opened it and it was this honey mix that someone had given me and it was honey
mixed with something else. And that is like a big no, no, because if we bring in a bacteria or
something that'll kill off our honeybees, like it'll kill the whole country. And so we are not
allowed to, because it was wrapped, they let me off, but I could have had like a multi-thousand dollar fine for bringing honey into the country. So yeah, honey, animals, you know,
wood, just they're real strict about what comes in. I mean, I understand though, just trying to
preserve that, but I had no idea. He told me that, you know, him and his wife had gone there and
visited, they'd made the decision they were moving there.
But that was the only thing.
They said they could go visit their dog, but the dog had to stay in quarantine.
It would be in quarantine for several weeks, if not a couple months, I would assume.
Yeah.
I think he said because he got the shot, because they require different shots, that it would be a month without seeing him.
And then a month with they would be able to go see him
and then they would be able to get him.
So, yeah.
Yeah.
Crazy.
Well, it's a good thing you guys protect yourselves.
Okay, now I promise we're leaving.
You guys, Quack Life has her space going on right now.
They're doing TA with Invisin.
SP is supposed to be over there and
CryptoStoner. So that's where we're going to go. Papa, you want to close us off? Everybody,
it was good to see you. Woof. And yeah, I saw you guys. I love to see you guys. I know you guys are
doing your own thing, your own spaces. Definitely, you know, show them some love and kindness. Pads
mean you need to get on a call or a chat.
But yeah, I hope everybody has a good rest
of your night.
That's good.
Thank you guys all for showing up. We'll be back again
tomorrow, 4pm Papa Standard
Time at 7 o'clock
Eastern. Until then, do
something kind for yourself, stay safe,
and move
with intention.
And we'll see you tomorrow.
