Thank you. Hello.

Oh, it's going.
You came here for my class in Spanish?
You speak fluent Spanish, don't you?
Fuck no. You don you? Fuck no.
You don't?
What the fuck?
I almost said something so bad.
Well, what kind of...
Come on, Jomama.
Did you guys only speak it growing up?
Like only English?
Are you half white? Yeah. Okay. Are you half white?
Yeah, yes.
You say that as such like a bad thing.
I heard it can get you a privilege.
So would you say you're half what?
Half black.
I'm half Portuguese.
Oh, dude, that's cool. You're all kinds? Half black. I'm half Portuguese. Nice. Oh, dude, that's cool.
You're all kinds of cool things.
No, I'm joking about everything.
This is why I don't do well with trolls.
Thanks, Joe Mama.
No, but I have Indian in me.
I'm white.
All that good shit.
Mexican too too right?
Yeah yeah yeah my mom was Mexican my dad was all sorts of shit he had like
Cherokee and Creek which was two rivals
Oh interesting
that's kind of cool though
I feel like we're all mutts
when it really boils down to it you know what I mean That's kind of cool, though. Yeah. I feel like we're all mutts.
When it really boils down to it.
You know what I mean?
We're just a melting pot of beautifulness.
How's your day, though?
How's your weather?
All right.
I can't complain.
I think we reached 61 today.
Oh, wow. I think TWEP got to 12.
Fuck that, dude.
Oh, hell no.
Yeah, and they got like an inch of ice, too.
Sorry, Scape.
It was minus 17 here today.
Did you get any snow with it yeah we're supposed to get um we've already got about two feet but we're supposed to get another foot tomorrow wow
okay that's real snow i'm thinking a few inches i'm like oh it's so pretty but like if you got feet you got that's real you know to be
honest uh we we normally don't get like we'll get snow but what typically happens is that eventually
it'll rain and it'll go away but this year i mean it has rained it has snow has rain but it's
now it's starting to stay it's getting colder so it's starting to accumulate now usually it would have been all gone
by now not this year i hear that from a lot of people yeah yes like some real extremes here in
washington we haven't even had a winter i feel like papa will disagree i feel like we've had a
whole fall because it's just been raining but we haven't had like we just started getting into the freezing
temperatures you've had it lucky or easy rather so far oh for sure no scraping your windows in
the morning i guess no no none of that none of that yeah i guess the brunt of bull we got was in December. Yeah. That was pretty bad.
Oh, of rain, you mean?
No, that makes sense.
Yeah, I just, it's been very interesting.
When my son hit me up and he's like, yeah, we have, um, he's like, it's so weird.
There's like a shell on my car.
I'm like, oh dear God, please don't drive anywhere.
Um, cause he's not used to sleet.
Um, there's different, there's different shit that falls from the sky depending on where
So yeah, it's not to be a mess with, but how's your day going?
How's your Saturday?
So far so good. It's been to be messed with. But how's your day going? How's your Saturday? So far, so good.
It's been pretty slack.
Typical Saturday.
Loving it.
Ate some Arby's earlier.
Now I'm watching the fights.
What fights are you watching?
It's the inaugural fight card with Paramount Plus that the UFC signed.
So this is the first one.
Did you see that, dude? that dude take a face plant?
I don't know what it is.
That was so bad.
That was scary.
You think it was just for him cutting weight?
I mean, it is, but it seemed like he made the weight pretty easily.
It's not like he looked pretty good on the scale.
It's too bad, too, because I think
the fight got canceled after he
collapsed.
His face just boom. I was like, damn,
he must have had a drunken blood pressure.
he got a couple stitches in his chin from cracking
it open on stage.
That's what I heard. That was not the way
he wanted to fight. He didn't want to fight with the ground.
And you know what? I feel bad for both of them right his opponent now isn't gonna get a paycheck either probably right because the fight's not gonna happen it's it's unfortunate it
is it's very delicate i feel like had he go ahead no no please go ahead have you wet um had he had
his like coach or anyone on his team um if there was any indication that he was, you know, a little bit lightheaded, they should have been there on the scale with him and then assisted him off the stage.
Because he would have been fine and he would have still been fighting and would have not been an issue, you know?
I totally agree.
Yeah, I was surprised that nobody was up there with him.
Oh, it took him. It took him. I was like, what is this, in slow motion? Oh, he was surprised that nobody was up there with him. And, oh, it took him.
It took him.
I was like, what is this, in slow motion?
Oh, he was down for a while, right?
Yeah, and they were like, oh, can we get a doctor?
I'm like, okay, two minutes later, bro.
Like, what the hell?
They were talking about it.
Did you just see the clip when Michael Bisping was kind of, like, in front of the stage talking, like, on camera?
And he was talking about, did you see that clip?
Such crazy timing.
Universe works in that way.
No, I agree with you though.
People don't realize like, first of all, that shit, that's a lot of training.
Like that is, that is some serious work that those guys put in.
And then just like you said, you know, that's their bread and butter.
Yeah, yeah.
I mean, like, really, I haven't looked it up, but I'm not sure when the last time it was when that gentleman fought.
But I can't imagine that, you know, whatever money he would have made tonight, he probably could have used.
I mean, you know, never a bad.
And plus, they're
handing out all these crazy bonuses tonight, too.
Not a good night to miss.
Yeah, it sucks.
I think it was $25,000 extra bonus for
anytime you finish somebody and
$100,000 for
Fight of the Night, $100,000 for
Sub of the Night, I think, or something like that.
There's so much
money in it. There's so much money in it.
There's so much money in fighting.
It's usually 50K, right?
But they signed such a big deal with Paramount.
I think they got a little extra cash to hand around.
Yeah, just so little.
What was it, 7.7 or something like that?
7.2 billion? Yeah, ridiculous.
It's been a trip to watch from the sidelines about even just like the Netflix and then the Paramount.
Like everything is just really, I don't know.
They've just transformed, taken over everything.
I don't know how old you are, but when I was younger, we used to go to the movie theater.
movie theater or if something came out you had to wait a year usually from premiere all the way
in order for it to come out like in the stores or for you to be able to watch it at home
depends on how it did in the theaters yes that's true like titanic was in the theaters for a while
like three months i think it took a while for it to come out of vhs but i'm seeing lord of the
rings it took it was in theaters for a while too.
That's why you're right.
But it's been interesting to watch.
for my age anyway,
with everything,
how it's transformed.
So you used to be able to pay five bucks to go watch a movie in my town
And then like,
just be there all day and just watch all the movies.
Nice. It was like, yeah, five bucks five but and then you know what i mean that you don't have to keep repaying they changed that
in like mid-80s yeah they did change that we had to go uh uh theater hopping or know somebody that
worked at the theater so we used to sneak into the drive-in theaters with a little radio and just tune into the radio
station that they would broadcast it on
and watch it from the field.
Have a little portable radio with us.
Oh, yeah. Why pay for that? Yeah, exactly.
Less traffic. You don't have to pay for those
concessions.
I watch Terminator 2.
That's awesome.
Tricky, I see your
hand up, Tricky. He's not going to come off mute until I call on him.
One second.
I'll mute me.
Where's that 2FA, Tricky?
It's Tricky Buddha from DeFi Space Donkeys.
What's up?
Hope you're all doing good.
My throat is kind of raspy, but I'm doing good.
I'm doing better than I was last week.
Damn it, Tricky.
Did you get sick again?
I just, I think I just, like, was up too long.
It's my wife's birthday.
So, yeah, we were kind of just up and smoking and, yeah.
So, my throat sounds a little scratchy.
I'm probably dehydrated
too. I'm working on that right now.
Well, did she
have a nice birthday or is it today?
Yeah, it's today.
So we started the party though like at midnight.
I was like, yeah.
I won't go into details, but yeah.
So we've been up for a minute.
She's actually in a restaurant, a sushi restaurant with two of our friends.
So celebrating it. I can't eat most of those places.
So she just goes out with her friends to like whatever restaurant they want to go to.
I was just going to ask that. She can't even bring you anything back because you've got to make sure it's safe.
Oh, yeah, yeah, and no places are
safe in Florida. Like, even Disney
killed someone who was celiac
last year. Oh, I was
going to say this, though.
You said it was a year before they
get into theaters. Now, I
remember when it was two years
from release
to blockbuster video. Isn's not wild we used to wait
that long that's what i was telling scapes yeah well there was always stuff coming out and i was
really into like film in general so like i haven't watched every movie but like my personal collection is probably like 800 movies
and that's no that's not like an exaggeration i because i they're they're alphabetical and i have
i have two of these boxes that's double double filled uh it's kind of wild so i would just
go through like old uh bond movies, old Kung Fu movies.
I'm definitely an action fan and a stoner.
So it definitely sways my choices.
Yeah, I used to work at Blockbuster.
Yeah, I used to work at Blockbuster.
And so one of our perks was we got five movies that we could rent every week for free.
And then we could also sneak home the new arrivals.
Because they would arrive a couple days before the actual release date.
before the actual release date and they would let us kind of like all right you can take it
And they would let us kind of like, all right, you can take it overnight.
overnight just bring it back and make sure that it's you know here on the shelf on the on the
release day and stuff so that was that was always fun i used to have like movie nights and stuff
with uh with friends so that was right that was so funny getting three movies and then having to
like watch them them real quick.
I remember that shit.
I was a manager at Blockbuster.
And Toys R Us.
And Circuit City.
Let's see who else went bankrupt.
So you can't prove anything.
Didn't Rogers have a video store too?
Well, that's in Canada, isn't it?
Okay, yeah.
Well, we also have Blockbuster and all the rest, but... Yeah.
The ones here were Hollywood Video and Blockbuster.
There's Rainbow Video, I remember.
They were in Calgary.
I bought a bunch of VHS from them.
Oh, my God.
Who had a really extensive VHS collection?
I mean, really.
We all did, right?
I threw them away a couple years ago
because my VCR was just broken it just like it just cracked out on me and I was like I
have all these movies in DVD form and or could just download them or review them in a heartbeat
so like why am I holding on to a VHS that's got like subpar like you know quality I'd rather see it in like 8k on my TV that from a brand new file
You know to me? Yeah, absolutely. So what much more convenience? Yeah, it just looks like crap
I'm sure someone went into the garbage and just I was like yay. We have we can learn English from these movies
Did you hear Pete Davison's
Did you hear Pete Davidson's plan with VHS?
plan with VHS?
He's like bought every
movie brand new on VHS
and he's just like gonna hang on
He's like,
this is my GameStop.
You know what I mean?
This is my GameStop. It's gonna be awesome.
Yeah, hell yeah.
Shout out to Jimmy down there I mean Alex Brown animation with like with his defy space donkey I must have made 30 of
them that I kept you know they are they're like wild I actually made a post
for my wife's birthday and I put them in part of the
comments in there just for something to look at.
so I'll post it in the comments there.
that's right.
You were making the ones for the,
the birthday videos for your wife.
Did she get to see them or did you ever finish the final one?
Yeah. Yeah. So I have, in in the end i i have like a like probably like a 10 or 11 that i really like but there's three or four that
are really good um just the animation seamless it looks like the you know she turns into a fairy
and throws fireworks in the sky that blow up and to say happy birthday, Pooja.
So that one came out pretty good.
I've just been sending her a couple of them every day because, yeah, she'll be bombarded with all of them.
Otherwise, she won't be able to enjoy them.
So yeah, just spacing it out.
You know, we celebrate birthdays for a month.
So sometimes two months, depending on what we're
doing with work wow yeah we that's funny because you know mamas and i um our birthdays are like
two weeks apart from each other and um but neither of us are really huge birthday people
so uh you know it's funny because I was just asking, I was like,
so what do you want to do for your birthday? And, and she's like, ah, you know, your birthday's
coming up. What do you want to do with yours? I'm like, uh, I don't know. I don't know what
we should do. So, but I usually just, when it comes to birthdays, I'm, I'm usually more of just
a, you know, don't make me do something I don't want to do because it's my birthday yeah like so i overthink everything a little bit and
so gifts kind of fuck with my head i don't like them i don't like them at all i'd rather see other
people get a gift and be happy than for me to get the gift like honestly because when i get a gift
i'm thinking of like all the like
other implications of like well i want to be able to return that favor or outdo them and then that
that's a dangerous game uh so yeah i i just don't like know what to say really and i honestly don't
need anything slash want anything i just i just want some food and not be in pain for a day.
That's all I care about.
I get that.
It's funny.
Cause yeah,
when it comes to stuff and like anything that I would actually want,
I would think would be too expensive to expect as a gift or like,
think that it would be like,
don't give me that.
that's crazy.
Or I just, you know, if I see something I want, I'll get it, you know? that it would you know like dude don't don't give me that you know that that's crazy or just you know if i see something i want i'll get it you know but um yeah it's it's weird i'm i'd rather have memories and make memories than than like actually have something exactly
so like what we started off like the defy based donkeys and I did an event virtual.
We didn't do anything IRL.
So on my birthday, I was like, we'll do the annual event on my birthday and I'll get everyone in the community to give me gifts to give away at the party.
So first one, we had like 215 people show up.
Next one, it was like 430.
The next one was 650.
And last one was 1300 and something.
And that one went for like, I want to say 13, 14 hours.
Yeah, that was crazy.
Your voice was like dead by the end of the time.
I was literally done.
Right? That's crazy. dead buzzing every time. Yeah. I was definitely done.
That's crazy.
And, yeah, I remember I was actually in there for a little while, but I can't remember
when that was. It was like in August or so,
wasn't it? Yeah, August 16th.
That's funny.
But yeah, so I don't know maybe
we need to like
while mama's not listening maybe we need to like
you know come up with a big birthday best
cause you know that'll just like drive her nuts
she'll be like what
what are you guys doing and you're not supposed to make a big
deal out of this
so I don't know we'll have to figure something out
I so I didn't
I didn't tell my wife where I was taking her for her 30th birthday.
I said, pack a bag.
You're going to need a bathing suit.
You're going to need some nice clothes.
But really, you could just bring flip-flops.
You know, buy clothes if you need them.
So she's like, that's not helping me at all.
I don't know how to prepare for this vacation.
What we're doing
She thought we were probably in the end
She thought we were gonna drive to st. Augustine for like one of those one of those hotel rooms up there in a little like
Nice little sea town
Ocean town
So I took her to
Basically, she was like blindfolded until like the last 15 minutes and she's then it's pretty obvious that I was taking her on a cruise
Because it's kind of yeah, you know, you can't get too close before you're it's like oh, yeah
There's friggin cruise ships all over the place floating cities everywhere
It was like a I want to say yes like a seven
70,000 ton ship so it was like a i want to say it's like a seven 70 000 ton ship so it was like a floating city well yeah best cruise i've been on boats that big in the caribbean as long as there's no hurricane
it's really smooth yeah i'm i'm i'm it going to go for another cruise. Cause I, I did one like, gosh, 10 years ago, maybe, maybe 11. Yeah, I think it was 11 years ago. And, um, yeah, that was, that was a good time. And, um, I don't know, I just, but I, I wouldn't know where I'd want to go first, you know?
That's the benefit to living in Florida is that we have two cruise ports.
We've got Cape Canaveral, basically by Kennedy Space Center,
and then we've got the one down in Miami and Fort Lauderdale as well, I think.
So, yeah, the Miami one is where most of them go out, especially the bigger ships.
So you fly into Orlando or Miami, and then you go on a cruise for, like,
I like the five- or seven-day cruises. You can on a cruise for like i i like the five or seven day cruises
you can do up to like a two week it's it's pretty awesome in those large ships as long as you're
over 70 000 tons you're gonna be like really comfortable but the eastern and western caribbean
um both of those cruise-like paths those uh charter paths they are amazing they are just
clear blue turquoise water new beaches every single day I mean I remember the
five-day cruise we were on four different beaches and one day we actually
did two beaches so we were actually on yeah five days five beaches that was
really amazing.
Everything's included.
You don't got to think about where to go for food,
where you're going to stay that night.
It's all there.
We charted our steps.
We were still walking about 10 miles every day on the ship.
It's a huge city. We're just walking around getting free food.
No, that's crazy.
It's crazy how big those ships are.
Yeah, we had...
We're like, we gotta have walkie-talkies
because if you were going...
Let's say we were both walking
clockwise.
We might never find each other.
But now...
You get lost.
Now, the Caribbean cruises like
do you have a preference one over the
other like which
which islands to visit and
make sure that they're on the itinerary
they're both
really good honestly they're
both amazing you can't go wrong
with either those are like the two
they're pretty solid.
As long as there's no hurricane.
So you get a credit card, most credit cards, not most of them,
but some of them have travel insurance.
So if you have weather, act of God, some kind of cancellation,
it'll actually pay you for change of plans and all that.
So I advise getting a credit card that has that
feature so you don't have to buy separate flight insurance or vacation insurance it can be really
handy but yeah um yeah i they they're both super nice because i mean and they're the same basically
like if i didn't tell you which one we were on, you wouldn't know
you know what I mean
yeah, I mean
I think the one thing that would be really cool is
is it the Bahamas that have the
swimming pigs?
is it Bahamas or Bermuda?
I can't remember
swimming, you say swimming pigs?
yeah, where you get to swim with the pigs
that's not Bahamas, maybe that's Bermuda swimming, did you say swimming pigs? Yeah, where you get to swim with the pigs.
That's not Bahamas.
Maybe that's Bermuda.
Okay. Hey, we got Skate TV.
Maybe they know the answer.
No, I don't, but I was wondering if you guys had seen the documentary
on Netflix, Poop Cruise.
Oh, yes, I have.
It's funny because I think when we had watched that i was like oh man afterwards i'm like mama's never gonna want to go on a cruise ever i've been trying to get her to
to want to go on one but but yeah after that she's like i don't know about that. That'd be rough. They gave out bags for them to poop in.
That's so crazy.
Yeah, that was pretty rough.
Luckily, the cruise that I was on, one of the nights, the seas were a little rough.
You could feel it swaying back more than I would have expected.
Overall, it was fineing back you know more than i would have expected but overall it was it was fine it wasn't it wasn't bad but um yeah i don't know i don't know how i
would handle that kind of thing i'd be just just let me off i don't care i know i can't swim but
i'll just give me a give me a life raft i'll I'll find my way back to shore and, and, and go home.
That would probably work out.
Give me, give me a dinghy.
I'll just, uh, I'll take my chance with the sharks and the waves and that's,
that'd be, that'd be suicide.
I think, wouldn't it?
I mean, I, I, I'd rather pick that rather than have to go through all that oh wow yeah
lots of poop darkness have you ever been on the cruise i haven't no i don't have any desire to
certainly not after watching that doc i'm not even kidding
um no i don't think I,
I think for me,
it'd be just too many people to into close quarters,
it was a lot of people,
but it also,
there's plenty of room.
So that part was nice.
because you could get off the boat whenever it got into town, then you could just kind of do your own thing.
They do do a good job of making it not feel like you're sardines in a can kind of thing.
That was with Carnival?
I did Princess.
I don't know how the other ones are, but.
You said Doodoo. Yeah but I almost interrupted myself and said
know that having a balcony was great
you know because I was able to
just chill out and that actually
it helps with my anxiety about feeling I definitely have like a you know, because I was able to just chill out. And that actually does help.
Having a balcony.
It helps with my anxiety about feeling.
I definitely have like a,
I've drowned a lot of times in dreams.
And it's like a,
it's one of my least favorite ways to go.
As peaceful as it can be.
It just, it's happened too many goddamn times.
So I always want a balcony so I could just jump or swim out if I had to.
There was a boat I saw earlier this week.
Everybody was sleeping below the waterline.
Because down there, there's barely any movement.
So it's very steady.
But I am not sleeping below the waterline.
Are you fucking kidding me?
No. We're the first ones to die. sleeping below the water line fucking kidding me yeah it's kind of crazy that they would even have rooms under under the water actually it's usually all the
like it's you know motors storage yeah yeah it's usually storage
like the anchor like some you know sometimes you have cabins and stuff but yeah i don't that was a
i don't i forgot what cruise line that was that i just was in disbelief but it was a smaller one
too that's so that's maybe that's why they did that um i'm i'm so on board though with the
70 000 ton or bigger because it you do not notice that it's not moving like it does it yeah i
couldn't feel anything and it's so big like you said it's like a mall and you never even ran i
mean there was 4 000 people on that ship and i didn't run into it like barely anyone. There was never like a line for the elevators and stuff.
it was amazingly like,
comfortable.
And I definitely get claustrophobic.
If you're looking for something a little smaller,
maybe one of the riverboat cruises,
might be a better option.
I know that they're considerably smaller.
So they have, they have fewer people, the ones that go and kind of like go from city to city in Europe, I think. Might be a better option. Because I know that they're considerably smaller.
So they have fewer people.
The ones that go from city to city in Europe, I think.
We did a dinner cruise.
That was fun.
It was just like a night. You go out on this giant boat.
And you have dinner.
And then it's basically a party out on the water.
And then you come back
Hmm, okay. Yeah, we had a lot of them in Florida
Before there was any gambling not allowed in any places because they'd go out two miles be like we're in our international water now
Bring everyone home
That sounds awesome.
Yeah, I mean, you know,
when people are gambling,
a lot of the owners of those establishments
just give free liquor.
So everyone is just getting crazy,
making bad decisions with their money
and whatnot else.
Yeah, the, I don't know, like, I know that I've heard some as well, like, people say,
oh, you shouldn't try to shell money out for the excursions, because, you know, they're
overpriced, and you're usually better off being able to just make your own itinerary.
and you're usually better off being able to just make your own itinerary.
Yeah, I thought that,
but you don't want to make your own itinerary for a foreign country
when you don't know.
Yeah, fuck that.
You don't know.
Nope, nope, nope.
Plus, I guess on the bright side,
with these itineraries, they actually know
and they'll wait for you. If they the the whole itinerary is behind then locally. All right
Well, we gotta wait for this group rather than just one person. They don't wait for you
Yeah, they don't wait at all so they are but they're coordinated with those people specifically and you're all you're all like
Encapsulated in this one umbrella of a large corporation to sue
you know if you do have to hold someone responsible it's a large corporation
that they're so they're gonna look out for you right throughout the entire
process right versus if you go and just like let randomly hire some locals that
even have good reviews you know know, who knows what happens?
You get delayed, now you miss your ship.
You never know what's going to happen.
Makes sense.
Yeah, the other cruise that I'd like to take
is actually the British Isles cruise.
And then maybe we could hit up pads
and see him along the way.
How cool would that be?
That actually goes past my house.
Past your house?
Well, pretty much, yeah.
I could get the bus on.
It's just an amphibious vehicle.
I could wave to you. That'd be so awesome i know i'm gonna do a trip there sooner or later
my my wife's half of the family is all british um and they also have a place in madrid so we
want to do that path but also just a crypto conference i'm hoping i could get over there for
you know nft, NFT London or whatever.
Well, it's good to see you, Pads.
What's good?
Yeah, Pads, what's wrong?
Yeah, guys, it's been a good chat.
Can you hear me okay?
I've just settled like a new desk upstairs,
so I don't know
with my connection i don't know if you yeah but um no i've been good like i've just been busy
today i've always helping one of my friends move out and then he gave me like this big like
workbench so i've kind of set up both my computers on this desk now. But it's really cool.
It's got like holes to do like a circular saw.
So it can be like a workbench.
I was half expecting you to say, so I'm a carpenter now.
Yeah, well, I'm trying.
I'm trying.
I'm not there yet.
You know, I've only got the basics down.
But give me two weeks.
Dude, okay. I'm not there yet. I've only got the basics down. Give me two weeks. I got B in a shop class
where I was on a team
and we were making Adirondack benches.
We took apart a bench,
traced all the parts
and recreated that shit.
My whole team just ended up
not wanting to help.
I did the thing myself.
I got a B in the class and
he sold my bench for or for like 600 bucks i'm like how are you gonna sell it for 600 and give
me a b what the hell mate yeah that's like a backhanded yeah it's yeah i would uh i don't even know what you can do about that to be honest i mean my um
we call it dt in england it's design technology it stands for but like the guy that i had in my um
i think it was in like year nine or ten or something i used to wind him up his name was
mr hook right so you could imagine like you were making jokes about like oh peter pan and stuff
like that he put me in detention and he made me write out the fucking dictionary like page by page
exactly like it's like you could not get away with that now you probably have such a good vocabulary
after that though well i have been known to drop
exquisite soliloquies
from time to time,
but I don't know.
like you couldn't do that now.
I reckon if you did that now,
you'd just get like complaints.
some of these mums now
kicking off.
Oh, you can't do that to my kids.'t make him learn words and stuff anyway but no i'm good man um just been setting up a bench as i was saying
but yeah are you feeling good tricky how's it going yeah yeah, all considering, I feel pretty good today. I mean, this is a good day.
I'm not passing blood or puking right now.
That's a bonus, man.
I've got a really low bar for a good day.
I know how it feels.
It gives you character, though, doesn't it?
Like, you know, when you're trying to...
It really gives you an appreciation for, like, the little things, you know?
Like, I really like the purple and blue auras that, like, contract and expand, like, exponentially.
When I have a migraine, it's really pretty.
It's all about appreciating the silver linings
and the small things.
Yeah, I've just got a good feeling.
I feel like everyone's got a bit of a good feeling
at the minute.
I'll talk to a few people.
I was AFG for a bit.
I wasn't on Twitter really.
Even on Discord, I was just taking
a little bit of time off recently.
Speaking to everyone,
they've all got a really good energy
about them at the minute.
It's kind of infectious as well.
That's the good thing about it.
You talk to someone, then they're up for it.
You get up for it, and you're like,
it's like the old days.
We'll just have it. like pump each other up and then that like trickles off to everyone you interact with that day and yeah everyone just kind of gets more
positive and then people kind of associate you with positivity and then that just exponentially
you know spirals up it's pretty cool i be it's really weird. I was so like
Pessimistic, I mean not pessimistic just depressed. I was optimistic but like cautiously optimistic is the way I always said it
Varyings very anxious. I'm really happy with the
Brain reprogramming you know, you know just with relentless jokes and positivity, you know,
not letting myself spiral immediately, like interrupting that shit. It's hard though,
to not just trip out, to be like, no, I'm, I'm getting off, off track here. Focus on something
else. I think like we might have spoken about this before.
We've definitely spoken about it on this space,
but I don't know if me and you have talked about it.
But, like, I've got a theory that a lot of people in Web3
that are into the stuff that we do are just overthinkers,
like, anxious people.
And it's not like maybe for some of us it's a coping mechanism or we're naturally like that for some others.
But I've noticed a lot of people are just very deep thinkers.
And I think sometimes that can go against you as well.
If you live in a world especially that's fucked up, mate, and just doesn't make any sense.
And if you're an introvert on top of that, with any anxiety,
you just tend to not be as sociable IRL.
But we all need that connection and that energy of communicating with people socially.
That's a big part of who we are.
We kind of need that.
and that's the nice thing about the internet like this is you know we're able to to have um i guess
That's the nice thing about the internet like this.
you could say a little bit lower of a pressure situation right where you know sure it does
involve you know coming up on stage or hooking up a microphone or whatever to do that but
you know there it doesn't it's the barrier is a little lower. And it's always good, especially smaller spaces
or whatever, to really kind of get to know people a little more.
And that's one of the things that I feel like we've done
over this past year and change,
to just get to know everybody.
It's really cool.
Yeah, because when you have so many people that are, like, constantly coming up,
like, if you have too many people coming up to the stage,
you start to get, like, kind of lost,
and it kind of dilutes, like, the show a little bit, right?
Because you spend more time, like, with the pleasantries and, you know,
talking, like, introducing people than actually getting down to business sometimes.
I remember one time we did a show that was like four hours,
and at least a good hour of it was literally just like,
hey, welcome, you know?
Well, especially when you get some of those people on stage
who then, like, they get up on stage,
and then they end up, like, they end up greeting everybody on the stage
doing the whole thing.
I know it's probably
more of a custom thing, but
it's just funny how
the little things we do
in space sometimes.
psychology just said, you know, so it's like,
like psychology,
just said,
we love to hear our name when we hear someone else say our name and we feel
more appreciated and seen.
So you want to like,
that's part,
that's part of like being able to sell something.
It's being able to be like relatable on top of that.
And yeah, there's and yeah there's a
there's a couple of you know of those tricks that you can see people are like are helping to use to
really cement their memory in people's brain right like i always say like the first time you go into
a room don't even bother talking just sit there like you they get to take you five or six like
times showing up before they're even ready to listen to you.
They got to be comfortable with you first and you got to have some conversations and have mutual understanding with that conversation.
Yeah, it's...
Anyway, I'm kind of going off on a tangent.
Anyway, I'm kind of going off on a tangent.
It's interesting, though,
how much this platform can really bring people together
who are recluse or disabled,
and they're not as mobile.
There's a lot of people here
that are struggling with something or other.
And we can bond over that, too.
No, totally, totally.
And that's kind of everything of what we were always kind of expecting
to try and achieve here, right?
It was have a place where people can do that.
And I think it's worked so far, you know?
Yeah, I like the vibe here.
It's cool.
I don't remember how i stumbled across you guys
um i think i the gary v crowd maybe i think was the start of it oh really i thought it would have
been in the gpc but i i don't know um so they i don't know if you remember a while back, they did a 21 or 22 day space that leading up to the launch of the cards.
What's the name?
Oh, the VFriends.
The VFriends cards from, what was it?
Top Flight or Top Deck or?
oh um but yeah so that that during that 21 day i gained like 600 followers that were mostly
I don't know.
you know v friends a couple people were on board into the defy space donkeys but
met a lot of good people that are you know really into nfts and collectibles in general
um yeah i mean it's it's you know, my generation, our generation, we're like now
the adults and we have hobbies and disposable income most of the time for those hobbies.
So the collectors now are serious collectors. Yeah, it's wild. That reminds me. People with like quarter million dollar
like Hot Wheels collections.
Yeah, that is the nice thing about NFTs
is that they don't take up actual
physical space.
And so I don't have to feel like
I don't have to have a storage
unit full of my
That part I appreciate. I have to have a storage unit full of my NFTs.
That part I appreciate.
It'd be so much easier to get over the rugs, though.
You know what I mean?
If it was a physical thing you could throw away and just out of sight, out of mind kind of thing.
Yeah, I know.
I couldn't imagine carrying, like, you know, I don't know, 10,000 NFTs.
I don't even know how many I've got now.
I've got so many different wallets, and most of them I don't even
look at the NFTs.
I only look at them to give them away,
really, to be honest.
Because if I do want to sell it,
I listed it for 10x the floor when I
got it, you know.
I don't know. It is cool, though, to see as far as the, you know? Right. I don't know.
It is cool, though, to see as far as the, you know,
the fact that it feels like the emotion is starting to pick up, right?
And all these people are starting to get in and collect
and, you know, mention all these communities.
and, you know, mention all these, these communities.
I'm, it's funny cause I, I'm, I'm like, I, I almost ended up picking up a GVC last night
I wasn't sure.
She, um, we're like, do we, do we, you know, like, I'm not sure but it um between that and then we felt like well or we could for the
price we could get two two little pudgies like or almost two I don't know but there's there's
there's a lot of opportunities out there and I feel like it'll be good to see what all communities are coming up.
Yeah, for sure.
There's a lot of things I'm really waiting to be released.
A couple of different projects doing different games or IRL,
like merch products, but high-end merch products.
And there's also a building in Vegas that's going to have the ability to host events
and a bunch of stuff.
A multi-million dollar venue is being built.
So I should have access to that.
I want to throw an event in Vegas.
It would be relatively cheap,
which sounds ridiculous, right?
It's like, let's go to Vegas, it's cheaper.
We have so many hotels there, it's pretty inexpensive.
They just figure you're gonna come there and statistically lose money, so they want you
in the door.
After my wedding, I got four or five like trips for free basically they're like a little
fly you into what like Mississippi and you can stay for three days we'll give you five hundred
dollars a day to gamble food airline everything's all included I'm like what's the catch like oh we just we just want you to come visit
us like oh yeah it's right I did win a bunch that last time so that they they
track that shit and then though but yeah if you get like any membership card or
like you know thing like that that tracks your points or your your gambling
there's a lot of bonuses you get.
That's a funny thing.
Last time I was in Vegas, I didn't even gamble.
I don't know.
I've never been a huge gambler.
I know that slots, for example,
last time we went to the slot machines,
we put in $50.
And then, all right, that was kind of dumb.
That was pretty quick.
We lost all that.
And just decided to walk out.
This is not cool.
Yeah, you can't leave on that note, right?
So that happened to me once.
So I put in 20 bucks my like
my brother put in 20 bucks and then my friend goes and puts in 20 bucks and
immediately gets like a jackpot of some guy he immediately made like 150 bucks
and we're just like we got you there kind of not really but you know I never
know how those things are actually like working or you know they'd back yell bullshit too so a lot
of them I don't trust any digital roulettes that's for damn sure well and
that's the funny part as well like sure not a huge thing on slots but but oh if
you wanna you want to play you know buy a bunch of nfts or or some some coin that someone should
lend or whatever right like that might that might work and then you know that's i mean honestly
these a lot of these coins got worse odds than blackjack or roulette you know what i mean so
yeah i mean maybe that's uh the gambling is not that risky, all considering.
I mean, at the time when I was getting married and stuff, I was a completely different person.
And definitely, like, reckless a little bit, we'll say.
Yeah, I've been in a lot of interesting situations as a result. So what was the story
I was going to tell you? I don't know which one. I'm like, I kind of want to tell this one and this one, but this is recorded space. Damn it.
Yeah, so I had extra cash, and I was just like,
well, you know, I've risked a lot of money and my life, you know, doing other things.
Just risking the money doesn't seem like that much of a risk at that point, you know.
I came in with four grand, or I came in with $2,500.
At one point, I had $6,000.
I left with $4,000.
good overall.
But if you don't have any fear
of losing the money,
you tend to think
more clear.
Yeah, and I guess that is true.
There is something also that seems a little disconnected.
I know that crypto relates to actual money.
You can convert it in and out, whatever,
but when it's digital like that,
it seems even further removed than if you were just
using a debit card, right? When you're using
a debit or a credit card, you know, you don't
think about it, you don't actually
see the actual cash in your hand go
away. But I feel like
even with crypto,
it's even worse, you
know? I don't know.
It's hard.
So maybe you make more decisions with that
than you would normally do, right?
You're like, ah, I don't know what this ETH thing is,
but, you know, like, oh, it's, you know,
oh, it's only .2 ETH?
You know, not realizing that that's like $600, right?
I don't know.
I just put it on MoonPay.
Hey, how's it going, Daniel?
Yeah, Daniel, so how you doing?
MoonPay followed me
the other day? Oh, really?
Nice. I have done that.
I had a bunch of people between
400,000 and
2 million follow me recently.
I don't know why.
You're moving on up,
I think this might be a growth hack
I've come across.
This is my latest trick.
You have a professional profile,
and you can be in categories.
So every couple days or every week maybe,
at least every month, switch categories.
Pick something else that you think
that you kind of could relate to people on
or do content on, right?
And just switch out out and people who are
searching certain things and different for you pages will get hit with your stuff like it'll
you know what I mean it won't it'll just kind of mix things up a little bit so I think you can hit
more audiences by by swap that out no, I have never tried that.
That's different than actually like a business account you're saying though, right?
Yeah, and it's just your professional profile.
You don't have to have a gold check or anything.
It's just, yeah, when you go to, let's see, I'll walk you through it here real quick.
I'll walk you through it here real quick.
Yeah, so you go to profile.
And then...
No, not profile.
Maybe it's under...
I've got to change this thing around a little bit.
I don't know where it is.
I know I just did this recently.
I just walked through this recently.
Like I said, I've been up for a long time, and I'm a little out of that.
Shout out to Candy down there.
That awesome DeFi space donkey.
I got to post some more on my pinned tweet of these ones for Jimmy.
They really came out cool.
Did you see the ones I posted in the comment down there in the purple pill?
So I have my primary.
Yeah, it's one that says, like, happy birthday.
And then it's got some visuals.
But then I have a comment with her soul addy and her eat daddy with four different animations.
They're coming out really interesting.
I was making prompts, and it keeps telling me,
would you like me to condense this into a version that's less than 2,000 words?
That's wild.
You've done a really good job with those animations.
I don't know have you tried like getting it to
clip together so they're
they end up being longer
you can chain them and make them longer
than just the 7 seconds
yeah so I figured out a way
to do it to splice them
put them through like actually
TikTok and Snapchat make it pretty easy to do that
you could just record the death like the raw then that's pretty that's clear um yeah i saw
daniel's hand up but she says a listener oh she i'm seeing her still on the stage um are you there
yeah i'm here are you yeah where is that sweet voice that I'm missing? I'm right here.
I like that voice too.
But, you know, I'm wanting her.
When I say her, I mean mama.
Mala bear.
Where is she at?
There's not enough estrogen on the stage yet.
That's why you had to come up and help.
That's why you had to pop up here?
I have to pop it up.
But are you just clearing the way that's why you pop up here yeah i have to pop it up but but
are you just clearing the way that she's not she's not available at the moment because i just miss
her so it's funny because like maybe gosh like five or ten minutes into the into the space um
the kids showed up at the front door and then they've of course they did of course
the only time that the they end up
tending to come over is like right during the space so um and because i'm not in the room of
where they walked in the door and that's why i'm the one that got to uh to be the one to carry the
space today which luckily tricky has been very nice to to to keep chatting. Otherwise, I don't think anyone wants to hear me just ramble on about the dictionary.
So, um. All right. Well, I'm going to tell them, like, we're still having our thing, you guys,
please. You know, you can go sweep an Archie right now. Like, it's a great cause. It's only
under $4. You know, we're giving away, tomorrow's the end of it, tomorrow night, and we're giving two mutants for the top people.
So the mutants are valued at like $45.
And yeah, so go sweep some Archies and possibly, you know, if you're the top one, then you'll get a mutant.
So have you been keeping track yet of how many sales and who's the winner?
Yeah, but so far, not a sweep.
There's not been a sweep?
Not a single sweep, Papa.
Not a single one.
I could go and just pick up two right now and I'd be the winner.
I mean, as long as you're the only one from sweep, exactly.
From now until tomorrow night, yeah, exactly.
Maybe for $8, you can win possibly a $45.
Yeah, exactly.
That's my point.
All right.
Well, I think I know what I'm going to be doing tonight.
Just keep an eye on that.
I'm just like encouraging people.
I did have, I had a nice call with Lunarverse.
And then I guess Silly Girl was on the call too.
So that was cool.
Thinking of new ideas to reward the Archie Apes holders.
I'm always trying to think of the, you know, the family and what to do to try something new to incentivize them, you know, and different ways and things like that.
So that was a good call.
And yeah, possibly doing some things.
We'll see.
We'll see what I'm cooking.
I'm cooking some, I want to cook some things up this year.
And we got the first thing down.
We, you know, we adopted Archie, re-adopted Archie again.
So that was successful.
And now we're, you know, moving on to a sweeping fun activity and um mama would
be proud of me i actually paid for the upgrade of chat gbt i can't believe i did it and yeah
it came up with some cool things so i'm because you know i really want to do 3ds and it was cooking up some good little creations for me well if you're looking for 3d as well if
you um clod if you get clod code and then you can hook it up to blender i don't know how
technically you've been um like if you have done any work with, with Blender or.
With Blender, yes.
But with Quad, no.
I mean, that's how the Archies came into effect.
We had to take it.
So I didn't have the Jason or the files. I had just the art, you know what I mean?
The different pieces.
And I had to take them through Blender to create a whole collection.
It was, it was interesting. It was time consuming and fun. But yeah, wow. Okay. Yeah. It was time-consuming and fun,
I'm not her to Claude, but I'm definitely
interested in ideas
and thoughts to doing all that.
Back in my day,
we didn't have this
bulk-minting thing, and
we had a lazy mint.
I lazy-minted 1600 and infused myself, wore my fingers to knobs and.
Back in my day, I had to write in notepad and, and write the
JSON by hand and count the curly braces.
Um, no, but no, the way you can do.
So cloud code is just basically another company's version of chat GPT.
And they have, um, there's a, there's a package that you can use to hook up
cloud code to blender.
So you can just basically prompt things in cloud and it will basically control
blender and actually make the 3D.
It'll follow your prompt and do what it needs to do.
It's pretty crazy.
It's just an app that I put on my phone called Claude.
Yeah, if you go to Claude.ai.
There's a lot of, I know, perplexity,
and a lot of the AIs will actually help you format stuff.
Yeah, ChatGPT will, too.
They'll give you literally, they can't do it, but they can give you the exact codes that you need to create the collection.
They can't auto-execute the file for you.
That's exactly it.
I'm like, can you please make me the JSON files and everything?
Can you please make me the JSON files and everything?
And it's like, sorry, we cannot perform those functions yet,
but I can give you all the information that you need to create the mesh for you.
Skynet's not activated yet, so they don't have that ability yet.
How do I spell quad?
K-C-L-A-U-D-E?
Yeah, Claude.
C, like C, yeah, like the French name, Claude.
Claude. Oh, it's an Claude Jean-Claude
but so he's better
so Claude oh it is like an
all in one thing
this is fucking cool
oh I don't think I'm going to continue my chat
GBT thing I think I need to freaking
fucking I don't know what'm going to continue my chat GBT thing. I think I need to freaking...
I don't know what the hell is wrong with me.
If you're looking for the images, the chat GBT seems to be better.
Because I don't think Claude can actually...
It can give you the props, but it doesn't actually do the image generation.
It's the best one at code.
So you upgrade these things
what is the different upgrades?
why is it saying
they have like three different packages
there's the $20 a month
and then $200
$1.39 a day
so this is saying for like a week
A month is $30.
And 12 months is $100.
That's not bad really.
I mean, it depends on how much you're really going to use it.
Oh, there she is.
Poor Papa.
I'm literally talking to my son.
I'm like, oh my God, it's been a whole hour.
Papa's in here with 18 people.
Fist fuck.
Hi, you guys.
How's it going?
Well, I had to bring up some great girl presents, but I was like complaining because you weren't
like talking and I was missing your voice.
And I was like, where is she?
Papa's like covering for you.
The funny part is, so we were, because we picked up food because we didn't have lunch because the whole day was kind of thrown off by the inner refuge, which we didn't get a chance to talk about yet today.
But so we were like, oh, we're so hungry.
Let's get food.
But then we walk in the door with like five minutes to spare.
And she's like, well, you're going to be good because, you know, you don't talk on the space. you're gonna be good because you know you don't
talk on the space and i'll be you know you'll be able to just sit there and eat and and i'll have
to like be talking and chit-chatting with everybody now your shit's hella cold and you
didn't get to eat anything and i just sat here and ate my whole dinner fuck what what what's
wrong with your bz bro i swear i swear. What do you want to do?
Well, I'm sorry you didn't get to eat, my love.
You've got to do basically like improv.
It's all guest and.
So like, you know, Papa will do a sentence and you'll be like, yes.
And you do a whole sentence while he takes a bite.
And then he does the same thing when he's done chewing, right?
And you just go back and forth like that until dinner's over.
That's true.
No, I wanted to tell you, babe, though, she said thank you so much for her cupcakes.
I did get a chance to shout around the corner.
Oh, you did?
Happy birthday.
But I didn't actually get to see her.
She shares a birthday with Tricky's wife.
Nice. Hi, Mama. Hi birthday with Tricky's wife. Yeah. Nice.
Hi, Mama. Hi, honey. How's it going?
We were just
talking about, Papa's ass is asking how
many have people slept so far.
And I told him,
not a single one yet, Mama.
Not a single one. Damn it.
I told Papa to last night, too.
See, he didn't listen.
He said, so if I sweep up two right now, I'm going to be so far the winner for next tomorrow.
I'm like, yeah, that's a possibility.
Mankind did say that he's going to go sweep some of the floor as well.
He will, too.
That's nice.
He will, too.
Even if each person just swept one, you know?
Like, every single one counts.
Every single one.
That's what I told Papa.
I even showed him which one I wanted last night.
Fucking hell.
Hey, you know, even if somebody did just one, if two people did one, they still have a chance of winning.
You know what I mean?
At this point, Mama?
That's true.
I mean, for under $4, you still have a chance of, at this point, winning a $45 NFT.
Yeah, dude, that's an insane turnover.
Come on, you guys.
Wake up. Wake up, old man. Oh, shit. We got an insane turnover. Insane. Come on, you guys. Wake up.
Wake up, old man.
Oh, shit, we got all about the new.
So I'm excited about my space tomorrow.
I'm going to invite you.
If you can just even listen, that'd be great.
I told Jill she's still not feeling good.
So I was like, if you even just come and you're just sitting there and not talking, like, that's okay, too, you know?
It's good to have people up on your stage, even if, you know mean just tell them like i can't talk do you not have it scheduled yet
i don't see it i it is scheduled already yeah i have to i have to find it it's in my you know
in my deep of my post i think i actually bookmarked it because i'm so good at posting lately
um but guess what tomorrow's gonna be what? What? Get to know Ryan time.
AMA with Ryan.
Hell yeah.
I actually told him I would give him the questions ahead of time if he wanted.
And he was like, no.
He's like, I trust you, Danielle.
I'm like, okay.
They're not going to be hard questions.
Oh, my God.
That's fantastic.
Okay, yeah. I can't find your space.
So let me know.
And Peculiars give you an NFT.
I love that.
Yeah, you know, I can't, I do remember, like, once I looked him up,
we had already followed each other.
So I have a feeling we've already obviously come across each other
and talked before.
And, yeah, so he's willing to come and speak in my space.
Next week could be a guest. Let me see. I think I found it, or space. Next week it'd be a guest.
Let me see.
I think I found it or is it last week's?
I love that.
Oh, here it is.
Can I put it up in the nest?
Yeah, of course.
I got to find some projects to come over to chat ops and come and talk.
So anybody that wants to do that, I think I've got Solana Deads lined up, but I need some more people.
So anybody who has a project or wants to come over,
let me know. Let's get a fucking
little collab space going.
Otherwise, I'm going to get fired from my job, and that's
Oh my goodness, I just got into
the invite. Thanks for including
me into the Rub Club, Mark, and remembering
that I was talking about it.
I feel like it's kind of like a boys club really when it's called that but hey shout out mama shout out to my artist down there voodoo he is the artist who did I've known him for a long long
time and he did the art for my og collection so i've always gave him love all during the mint
and told him and he ended up getting other work and things like that so i do see him down here
in the crowd and yeah that's why all these people are in here they followed you hell yeah
who do i give you a follow too say that you always want to get a co-host if you can that is doing
similar stuff to you because then all their audiences, you can also have their audience and vice versa.
So it's mutually beneficial.
And then even if they just sit on stage.
I mean, I know if I go into a space with all five or six of my accounts and I retweet the room, I'm going to bring somebody in, even if I don't go on stage and talk.
Yeah, for sure.
No, I know, Tricky, you've brought tons of people in here for sure I really appreciate you I'd be happy to uh to do a space too um
oh nice I've got a couple things going on cool yeah let's do that I'll get you in the dms so
we can make that happen yeah I gotta do it so'm going to be running a weekly space on Tuesdays during the day.
So I'll be doing two spaces on Tuesdays now. Damn it.
I don't know how I get roped into this shit, but.
Wow. I'm going to be a guest on Tom's having like a mutant Monday space thing he's starting.
Because he just recently became, you know, a mutant board ape.
Yeah. So he asked me if i would come be a guest on his
stage on monday and so that way he can try to get me worked for the archies into the other side
nice okay okay yeah i know the other side so papa and i did he tell you that we were actually lucky
enough to go in what was that babe was that when that first came out we went into the other side
do you remember yeah i think it was called but second trip yeah it was really cool it was amazing
how many people they had in there i suck at games you guys don't even understand um like i'm i'm one
of those people i don't know if you ever in discord had those uh like mario kart games i literally
spin in fucking circles like Like I can't figure out
how to get it to move and I'm slamming into walls. Oh my god, it pisses me off.
But anyway, so for the other side, I was sitting in there and we were like trying to get orbs and
stuff. And then all these people were in there talking and all these Bored Ape Yacht guys and
everybody was geeking over it i'm like i don't know who that was like i didn't give a shit
everybody was geeking over it. I'm like, I don't know who that is. Like I didn't give a shit.
because i actually wasn't even on crypto twitter yet so it's funny but yeah got to meet all kinds
of cool people in there so that's cool hey your friend also hooked me up with an nft as well mama
on an ordinal's nft i have one because johnny's introduced everybody to the ordinal stuff um
oh um with top cats yeah top cats yeah top cats yeah yeah yeah yeah 3d sam he's a good
dude he's a phenomenal artist yeah it's amazing art and uh i wasn't he like sent me six different
choices and i was just like i like those two whatever when you pick and he goes okay i'm
gonna give you that one because that's more of a rare one i'm like that's really the one i really
wanted but i don't want to i don't want to be picky, you know?
If somebody gives me a gift, I'm thankful for whatever it is.
So I give them a couple choices and then kind of let them choose the one they want to give to me.
Right, right.
And I just see he's actually in the crowd.
Good to see you guys.
Man, I have all kinds of new people in here.
You guys brought in all these new people and then I don't show up.
What kind of shit is that? That's kind of wild hi pads how are you feeling you know i'm gonna call you out ask
you how you're doing ryan i think you should come up here just so you know what'd you say pads
yeah i'm good i've been um so i've had you on speaker i think did you say, Pats? Yeah, I'm good. I've had you on speaker.
I think, did you ask for us before?
And then I was like down.
No, no, no, no, no, I didn't.
You're lifting what?
You're not supposed to be lifting.
I bought a piano.
Ugh, Pats.
It's cool that you bought a piano, dude.
Should you be lifting
Probably not
Well I hope you take care
But you feeling better
Are you feeling less light headed
Yeah I'm doing alright
Well I'm feeling quite light headed now
Because it was fucking heavy
You bought like a whole ass piano Not like a keyboard Like a whole ass piano Yeah, well, I'm feeling quite light-headed now because it was fucking heavy. Yeah.
You bought, like, a whole-ass piano, not, like, a keyboard, like, a whole-ass piano.
It's like an electric keyboard, but it's one from, like, the 80s. So it's basically, you know, like, before they figured out how to make it lighter.
Like, the old-school TVs, they were, like, 400 pounds.
Mm-hmm. Yeah. I can't even, you know what, like, I were like 400 pounds. Yeah. Yeah.
I can't even, do you know what?
Like I've got my headphones plugged in now,
so I can't even reach it because I've had to plug it in to the other.
I was going to give you like.
You're going to play the piano for us.
You play the guitar.
Any other instruments that you play?
I mean, I can play all of them but like not very well yeah but that's still cool I don't know I it's funny when I was younger I remember um you know like it's it's I don't know if it's required
there but it's required here like in elementary school you have to play what they call them a
flutophone um and then when you get into middle school, you have to play
some type of instrument. Like it's mandated. And I remember playing the, fuck, I forgot the name of
it. Anyways, some stupid, I was awful at it. I was never good at it. I didn't understand why they
were making me do that. So I've always been impressed with people who are musically inclined.
And especially if somebody can listen to something and then like emulate that or make it their own.
I love it.
I love music.
Pads, have you ever watched this guy?
I see him all the time.
He goes to zoos or to just different locations where there's animals.
And he'll actually start playing his guitar and singing.
And these animals will come up to him.
And they try to interact with him and, like, touch his guitar
or kind of nibble on him or something.
Have you ever seen him?
It's fantastic.
I've not, but I feel like, are they not just coming up to because he's obviously making a
noise and then like they're just coming up to say what the fuck yeah but it's so cool because
his music's so um okay so i literally googled guy that sings to animals and it came right up
um so he sings for animals it's a compilation
and yeah they but it's cool because they just come up to him and engage with him and his voice
is fantastic so i imagine you doing something like that so you have to go check it out because
basically they say that even animals can feel the power of music
yeah no i believe that i do believe that
i mean it's an energy right
yeah i feel like it is like
um what else was i gonna say i don't know i always screw you up oh there's your space okay
the uh yeah danielle as well
all right nice to see you in the last couple of spaces i think over the last few days uh
followed your project that looks really good as well um you didn't know about her project
it's so wild to me when sometimes like my two regulars actually come together and i'm like
how did you guys not know each other
that's wild do you know what that's happened a few times with you like i'm at answer yes
it's because i'm normally quick i'm normally in and out of mama's space so quickly you probably
come right in right after i leave or i come in before no you stay longer so that's probably why
we missed each other because i just talk super quick and then I leave. Yeah.
Cause you're always working.
So mama, guess what?
I'm glad to meet Paz.
And if he has any questions, he can definitely ask me.
Thinking of new things for 2026 mama.
I have a question.
So I just put everybody, make sure you guys set your um
reminders for Danielle's space first of all I did that just like it bookmark it make a comment
so easy tag a couple friends if you'd like it helps the algorithm um but secondly I was going
to ask so the person that is co-hosting with you does she actually have a um a good vibes club yes she does okay oh it shows okay yeah what what was her pfp
before i i have no idea because i just met her since that pfp maybe she had a quirkies on i would
guess because she has a quirkies okay because we follow each other but I don't know who that is. I hate it when that happens.
I try to really, really remember people.
Like, if I follow them, I really, I know it sounds ridiculous because I follow so many people.
And by the way, I need new followers.
So, if you know anybody, just tag me so I can.
Okay, I'm going to start getting you some followers.
Okay, I'll start putting you in contact for followers, too, because.
I just need, I just need. I getting you some follows. Okay, I'll start putting you in contact for follows, too, because. Yeah. I just need.
I want real people.
Yeah, exactly.
I just need some real people to follow.
I removed.
Yeah, I removed over 400 of my followers the other day because they were all bots.
And I don't give a shit if it's.
I have to go daily through, honestly, like you, Mama.
I do have to go through them and follow.
But it's actually bad for your account.
Like, all these people think, oh, yeah, well, it shows that I'm, you know what I mean?
I'm being followed by all these people.
But what is your, what's the good ratio?
Like, are they all naughty?
Are they all just bots?
Like, remove that shit.
I don't care how it looks to somebody else.
That's just a filter, bro.
Because I guarantee none of these people go even engage with me.
Danielle, did you fall off the stage?
Yeah, because I came home.
That's what happens when I come home.
I fall off your stage.
Every time I leave my home or come home, I fall.
So that's what happens.
I guess I should just not leave or come to my house anymore.
I'm sorry.
I guess I should just not leave or come to my house anymore.
I don't know, guys.
I don't know, guys.
I think maybe your steps, you need to make sure that they are proper,
you know, standard.
Well, Papa, there aren't any steps, though.
That's the whole thing.
We don't have steps.
It's a one-level house.
Well, funny fact about me, I only fall upstairs.
I've never fallen downstairs.
That is such a weird, it's a gift of mine i don't
know why what's up tricky well the other way around could be fatal so that's good i was thinking the
same thing oh man what was i gonna say uh if it's important it'll come back to me i'm sure as soon
as i mute my mic damn it i hate it when Oh, I was going to say thank you so much for the support, all my holders and subscribers.
Every cent really means the world to me. More than the money, just the fact that she took
the time to do that. So I've been making customs for everybody. And I just posted a bunch that i kind of like went off on a tangent with uh mama bears
bear so there's uh if you go down to the very end there starts to get to some evil ones but
uh the first four or five posts are three posts three or four are just cute bears so there you go
bunch of cute bears mama bear thanks tricky Thanks, Tricky. I appreciate you.
Yeah, he tried to make my damn bears evil.
You and Pup, man.
You and Pup need to get together.
Pup likes to make my bears look evil, too.
I'm like, those are kind cubs.
And he's like.
I mean, at least I didn't, like, shred it.
You know what I mean?
So you just get a shredded piece of art. Yeah, no, that's true.
It could always be worse.
Always be worse.
I need to know, how many groups are you in, Mama?
Side chats?
I'm in nine.
Make no technically in mine, I think.
I removed myself, so I'm embarrassed because they don't bother me.
They're not like, repost this, do that.
Literally, that's it.
Okay, my DMs are stupid.
Wait, did you leave the other one you added me to?
That's why I was laughing.
I left you in there.
Thanks a lot.
I'm thinking, well,
there's a whole other situation
that, like, I don't know, I feel kind of like,
I don't know, I'm thinking of like, I don't know.
I'm thinking about leaving because of something.
Just what you're talking about, how girls can be.
Oh, I can't handle it, dude.
And I'm sorry if I leave your fucking group chat, dude.
I do not, like, I just don't.
And I'm sorry.
I just, it's not my get down.
And I've been straight up with people about that.
And I was asked for that one.
She hit me up and she's like, hey, I'd love to.
But it's never what it's supposed to be.
I thought I was meeting a bunch of dope-ass chicks in the Web3 space.
And we were all going to, like, get together and do cool things and support each other.
And it's not that.
So, no, thank you.
I'll just.
She won't even follow me, the main person of that chat.
Oh, me neither, dude.
She wants to have a meeting.
Me neither.
She wants to have a meeting with me on the phone, but she won even follow me back no me neither don't worry i'm unfollowing her
because i'm actually gonna leave the chat as i'm in here just so we all can be very clear
be very clear that's why i was apologizing to you the other day because i'm like sorry danielle
so you know that group chat i added you to um i'm leaving. Okay, I just left. Sorry, bye Felicia.
Bye Felicia.
I don't want people to get offended, but it's like
some of these chats... I'm leaving another one right now.
Sorry, I'm leaving it. They totally
are. What I do is I
message the creator of
and I tell them, but I also
put an announcement in the group.
I'm just cutting down on these, on my reminders and whatnot.
I'm trying to clean things up.
And DM groups can get you banned or shadow banned more than they can help.
Exactly, Tricky.
So I don't engage with anything that's in there.
I have a question for you, Tricky.
So I totally agree with you that's
one of the reasons i don't like to be in um group chats because it is considered manipulation
and secondly how do i make it um i'm bummed about this because i've been tagged a lot lately
in like some weirdo shit like mama bear and i'll go look and all these people are commenting and
they're like oh that's so cool you're involved. No, bro, I'm not involved with that.
I'm not supporting that project.
So do I literally have to turn off tagging?
Yeah, how can you do that where we turn it off
so they can't tag us?
But doesn't that suck that you can't tag somebody?
Well, yeah, you go into settings.
But yeah, it can be annoying.
Some people are just ruining it for everybody
that's what papa says this is why we can't have nice things i mean i have been tagging adam lately
mama yeah but i think doing it sometimes in um in moderation but when i'm tagged into groups
or projects that i know are really naughty,
I don't want to associate with that. Just like I was apologizing to everybody the other day,
by the way, that dude changed his name again, that had come in here and tried to hustle.
And basically I was trying to be a part of it. I just don't, that doesn't sit right with me
because I don't want people being hurt by being in presently present. Like you can go anywhere else on the streets and do that, but I don't
want to be associated with some nonsense. I really don't. I value who I am as a person.
Yeah. And that's, I mean, really you just got to take it as the compliment that it really
is. Um, because you know, you can't really control idiots on the internet, but they wouldn't be mimicking you
or trying to ride your coattails if you didn't have them.
So you're doing something right.
And I have to report fake accounts, copy accounts, all the time.
It's just a badge of honor, each one that you delete and get get you
know get canceled yeah no i'm and so papa actually told me this person that came in the other day
dude i went and looked on his account he's changed his name 26 times you guys that is a really great
way for you to keep yourself safe if i go right now to joe mama's post i'm going to go to his
account i'm going to click on his thing. And
if you guys see where it says joined November, 2024, click on that. It will show you the date
joined, where his account's based from that he's verified. And why the fuck doesn't? Oh,
because he's never changed his name. You see what I'm saying? But it'll actually show you guys how
many times people have changed their names. Now I get it. Sometimes some of there has to be a changed name.
But when it shows that a person has changed it 26 times, that's a red flag that they're probably out there moving naughty.
Yeah, because this is the at.
It's not just their name visible.
It's the at.
At first, I was like, oh, shit.
I must have a terrible statistic for that.
But I don't think I've ever changed this.
Mine does say one username change.
But that's been here for three years.
Yeah, but I've had one username change.
So Papa, what did you say about that, babe?
I think that it includes your current one.
Because the Kind Cubs, for example, I've never changed it.
It said that there was one username change. So yeah, that's wild
Maybe after maybe after a certain amount of time it drops off because Joe mama has none
Really? Yeah, I do I have a my name. What was my fucking name before dude?
One username change because I wasn't always Mama Bear. This was my personal account.
It was probably my real name.
Does this include from my account that I had to get changed over to the new one or no?
I don't know, dude.
I really don't.
Because, you know, I mean, I had another account that it got removed.
And so I had to start a new account.
That's why.
Oh, no, it's just per.
No, no, it's just per the account. so I do think that what Papa's saying is right
but anyways you guys that's a great way to check people out you know and just as
and to watch them and if you're watching them and you're like damn look Candy it
doesn't show that she's ever changed her username. What does mine say? Because I mean, I'm a goofball. I think I've changed it a couple times just as a goofball. Yours says one change since 2021. Really? Yep. I guess it was on my other profile. Yeah, I was like maybe on your other eight accounts. Yeah, I mainly just changed the name.
He just changed the name.
What does that, though?
What did you say?
Say that, Mankind?
You said look at what again?
Yours is for this fool.
Watch out, you guys.
I'm just joking.
Yeah, Mankind.
So if you go to somebody's profile, and then you'll see where it says joined January 2022,
if you click on that right there, it'll tell you when you joined the account where it's based
out of it's verified and how many usernames you've changed you want to know my thought
what tell me if it was created after they introduced this then that's the ones where
it'll start with one um but if it if you didn't before they they introduced the the tracking then you would have
it zero oh trip out okay just a guess yeah but the problem that i see with this whole thing too
you guys is it actually shows um what is it the ip right babe and it and it and it cat what is that
called where it goes and it'll screen for it and then it'll put out where you're
And that's not always where you're located.
And there are people who are being discriminatory against people who have
accounts from like Nigeria or India.
And I think you're fucking stupid if you do that, by the way,
because it's so disrespectful.
Like everybody deserves to be on this app.
Exactly. Did that sound angry, babe? No. on this app. Exactly.
Did that sound angry, babe?
I agree with you on that one, bro.
It was somebody that came to me, you know, because of my voice.
I have to check their ass real quick.
But I was like, bro, bro, you from fucking England, bro.
It's just like, what are you talking about?
But no, no, for real, they really came to me and was like, man, are you from Nigeria?
I was like, no, I'm not from Nigeria.
What does it matter anyway, fool?
Thank God.
Thank God.
I was like, what the fuck are you talking about?
That's just so ignorant.
Like, seriously.
Extremely.
And I got to say, dude, I have met some amazing, amazing Nigerians.
And they are the hardest fucking workers and grinders on this application around.
Like, you're lucky if you get a Nigerian that follows you and that fucks with you.
Seriously.
Like, I...
They don't work so hard.
They're going to work more hard than the camera.
That's nice.
I love to show their cards like that, mankind.
That's nice of the cards like that, mankind.
You know what I mean?
You know what I mean?
Because you could have befriended them
and found out later on on a weekend.
It's going to mess up your whole day.
Maybe his wife's Nigerian.
Get the fuck out of here.
Boy, I was like, man, look, brother.
He was like, first, let me say, we get on the thing.
He was like, he said, you're you're a bruh and i was like what the fuck is a bruh
like what are you trying to say what is a bruh and then he was like he said are you from nigeria
i said no i'm on the states man and he's all thank god i said said, well, why are you saying that? Thank God you just showed me your true colors, you little bitch.
Yeah, no, I...
I was like, what?
And then, you know, because we said, bro, you know, of course, I'm thinking like my fraternity, I'm like, yeah, I'm a bro.
You know what I'm saying?
I'm like, but...
Mankind, he's like, yes, I can hear the black in your voice.
What the fuck is wrong with you?
I have a t-shirt that helps me screen people.
It says, deport the racist.
Keep the immigrants.
Everyone who likes that shirt is just a cool person.
Especially if they point it out.
Ricky's like, thanks for being my new friend. What's your phone number? Let's hook up. shirt is like just like a cool person right especially if they point it out tricky is like
thanks for thanks for being my new friend what's your phone number let's hook up right the only
t-shirt i get more compliments on is actually my my defy space donkey shirt oh i bet you do
if it could just have like a little uh intro with it i don't know if we're ever gonna have that in
the future but i imagine like you walking into an establishment and saying tricky buddha here from defy space donkeys and then everybody will start cheering
you on yeah i'm gonna get like a i'm gonna get a push pin right do it you put it you put the pin
on your chest and then when you hug me it'll activate it dude that's an awesome idea tricky
i love that so much oh i love that so much oh man how's your weather
turkey are you guys safe i know there's a lot of ice mankind too it's florida it got oh you're good
it got into the 30s for a whole day i heard that it actually snowed on the beach is that true
like a couple weeks ago this ah i I did hear about it last year.
That's the thing.
I never know what's real.
I was talking to T-Wop and I was like, oh my God, you're not going to be able to get any groceries.
He's like, I don't know what the hell you're talking about.
He's like, our groceries are fine.
He's like, they are closing at noon because of, you know, the ice coming in.
But it's just wild to me, the things that were
fed. I'm just glad I can wear jeans again. I've got jeans that I don't wear. I mean,
I don't even usually wear pants at all. If I do put on pants, it's usually shorts or a bathing
suit. Yeah. Well, that's a true Floridian. I haven't, I haven't been to Florida in so long.
I want to go as an adult to experience it.
T-WOP really wants me to move there.
I'm like, I don't know if I could do that.
I don't know.
And you guys get hot weather.
I guess you got AC, though.
Yeah, but the hot is a humid hot.
See, I don't like that sticky shit.
Humidity amplifies temperature, or it just makes you feel it more.
It's like going into a sauna almost. Yeah, hot.
It feels hotter and cold feels colder.
Yeah, that's true.
Yeah, it trips me out. Mankind, how are you
weathering with your weather?
Oh, man, we just
in the house. Yeah.
Did you guys get ice, though?
Yeah, so we had to sleep.
Well, I ate the rain, but tonight's supposed to rain, so this is when the ice is supposed to come in.
Same thing for Chewop.
They got like an inch of ice, I think.
He's like, Mom, it was tripping me out.
He said it was looking like rain, but it sounded like my glass was being hit.
I said, that is sleet, son.
Get the fuck inside.
Yep, and that's all you heard.
All night. All heard. All night.
All night.
All night.
My homeboy and them down there in Dallas right now.
And they can't drive.
Like, if you literally drive on a road, you might hit an ice pack immediately.
And it's not worth risking it right now.
It's really not.
Because then they got snow on top of it, but then they have more sleet coming.
They already canceled all the schools on Monday. because then they got snow on top of it but then they have more sleet coming uh they already they
already canceled all the schools on monday and um i just know this is really hitting a lot of areas
i think pennsylvania uh atlanta's getting hit ohio's getting cooked right now i think they said
like six oh my god i'm gonna say the wrong number was it 600 million people are projected to be losing power?
That's wild.
Oh, I don't think it's quite that bad.
I think that... Maybe 6 million.
60 million.
I don't fucking know.
Yeah, I suck with numbers, you guys.
I would say probably 6 million.
And ain't 600 million in the world, baby.
Yeah, well...
I'm in the States for sure.
Most grids don't handle that many people.
I mean, you know what I mean?
They'll have a different grid or separation.
Okay, we all got a good laugh at Mama's lack there of understanding math.
But, yes, it's going to be a crap ton of people.
So just make sure you guys, you know, at least that's one thing Papa was telling me.
He's like, well, at least if it's hella cold outside, they can put their groceries in the snow.
No, that is true.
I'm just going to go out to VAR, check this math here.
Like there is more than, so there's about like 8 billion people in the world.
So there's, I think about 60 million people in the UK.
Oh, wow. Okay. Okay. So I'm not, I'm not cuck people in the UK. Oh, wow.
So I'm not cuckoo for Cocoa Pots, but just a little.
No, you're actually right.
Yeah, yeah.
See, we didn't say the word.
We said the States.
We ain't go over there with y'all.
We said the States.
Rewind the audio.
Oh, that's funny.
That's funny. That's funny.
Pods, you're going to play us something now?
Next time.
Damn, did you think he just said no straight like that?
I have a hard time with that word no.
time with that word no is it easy for you to say no it's it's as easy as really oh dude i suck at
Is it easy for you to say no?
saying no i know what you mean i do know what you mean because it's like well we've talked about
yeah we talked about it in bab's face yeah i feel so bad when i say no oh yeah i gotta work
well i'll tell you what i'll put this back to the audience here like the people who
um you know i'll put it as a question to the other speakers but like do you feel like you've
had an issue with that in the past is it like do you know because basically like nice people
can be quite agreeable at times and then that can
lead to them being taken advantage of in a way i feel like so i think for me pads it's um things
that i've been exposed to and around you don't say no because then that can create a really big
problem for you you see what i'm saying so it's always safer to do what you're supposed to do
so that everything can stay as copacetic as it's going to be.
You were talking about the grid shutting down in Colorado, right? Is that what you said? Yeah. So
Colorado's population is 6 million. So if, you know, the whole state gets shut down from that
If the whole state gets shut down from that issue, then yeah, that's $6 million.
issue, then yeah, that's 6 million.
My first response was correct, but I always have to Google it or ask AI.
Tricky. Tricky's still on those numbers, too.
No, Tricky. She said $600 million.
I did. I said $600 million.
And I'm like, no, maybe 6 million.
Listen, I'm not asking you guys to
go trading with me, okay? I'm not.
I'm not out here with a coin
pushing numbers and I don't know what I'm talking about.
I'm just mama.
Imagine people are like, oh my god,
don't ever trade with Mama Bear.
She thought that there were 600 million
people that were losing power.
Getting your head around the different scales and scopes of different companies and expenses and budgets and stuff, it's really weird.
I mean, there's such a huge range in budgets and what a company considers an expendable error or the margin of error.
Margin of error for a lot of these corporations is like 2 million.
Honestly, I had never had so much talks about money until I came into Web3.
And hearing about like millions of
dollars, like, Oh dude, this guy just got drained for millions. I'm like, what the fuck? That's like
not even fathomable, fathomable. I don't know what that word is to me. Like the most I've seen is
like, I don't know, like 120 cash from a lick that was done. Right. It's got some blood on it,
some hair, like, you know what
I mean? Everybody's splitting it different ways. Things are being weighed out. And I don't
understand like this millions. And that's wild to me. That's just.
Yeah, I used to, I mean, I could do like, math while I'm extremely intoxicated. I'll just leave it at that because it's recorded space.
But in most situations when people can't speak English, I'm still able to do math.
But doing the finance, you know, one of my degrees is finance. So I was doing financial models and
then reading all the Fortune 500s like prospectus and tax returns and balance sheets so you get it like a
you you kind of get a sense for the scale of different things and it overall it kind of gives
you a better picture because when you first when i first started that i was so confused like
like i couldn't i just couldn't rationalize the you know 10 million
you know yeah that's wild to me for sure what's up pads
oh sorry i had a bit of lag on meeting um now i was gonna say like do you remember last year
yeah it is last year yeah 2025 um and i only know about this because I was on the phone to Rick at the time,
but the power grid went out in Portugal and all of Spain
and a little bit of France, I feel like.
So I've just looked it up, and that was 60 million people
lost access to electricity.
So that is more or less, you you know like a big chunk of like the
western so it can it can happen like it has happened like literally last year yeah well
you have a different situation over there too right like um yeah that's true they they all
yeah like the the yeah like the there then they have, like, rolling power outages and stuff.
They just don't have the infrastructure.
Before Brexit, you know, there was, like – there was a lot more people under the same jurisdictions and stuff like that.
And it was kind of like – so it was interconnected.
You actually could have an outage like that.
Now we wouldn't see an outage like that unless maybe, like, New York went out.
I mean, New York is, like a New York went out. Um,
New York is like a really dense population in New York city alone, but like,
I wonder how many people are in all of New York.
They're about to get cooked over there though,
with their weather tricky.
Cause my daughter hit me up.
She lives in Jersey and she actually said that they were having a lot of food,
shortages and they were on their way to the store.
Um, but it said they're on their way to the store.
But it said they're expecting like 10 to 14 inches overnight plus the dye.
I'm not going to make a joke.
So New York City's population is 8.48 million. The population
around, the whole
state is 19.8
million. Wow.
Yeah, nobody could pay me enough
to live in New York, I'm going to be honest.
There's no way.
I can't, I don't think I'll ever go
back, honestly.
My son went recently.
He always wanted to go to New York.
And he was like, it was the dirtiest, most disgusting place.
Again, it was New York City.
You have two options for smells down there.
You have pee.
Well, sorry.
It's either rats or pee and rats.
He said tricky.
Then he went to Paris, and he said that it was comparable to how gross New York was.
He said he'll never go back there either.
Yeah, I heard that.
Have you been to London?
Your friends aren't known for cleanliness.
I have not been to London since I don't even know if I've ever been to London.
I know that sounds ridiculous,
but it's because I traveled so much when I was younger.
It's one of those.
It's not what you think it's going to be,
but like you just said Paris as well.
That's kind of like along the same lines.
Like we see it as the postcards pictures and the city of love
Yeah, it's a trip. Yeah
Uh, what's good alicia?
Is it alicia? Hey, how's it going?
Good, how are you? Good
Been chilling. I see my bro tricky buddha in the house
Let's go let's go tricky hey how you doing good
how are you brother good good to see you oh yeah I love it bringing that energy
every time hell yeah but recently I joined the team for the project snout zoo which is all about
autism awareness yeah hell yeah i am that's fantastic let's go okay snout zoo fucking
finally the cavalry has arrived okay wait so in. So in your bio, it actually says Snout Bears.
Is that where I need to go?
Like, tell me where I need to go.
Snout Bears and Snout Zoo is the Discord.
It was announced in their Discord that I am a new team member for them.
Snout Zoo is, correct me if I'm wrong,
Snout Zoo is the second release from the Snout Bears collection.
Well, I'll go check that out for sure.
So autism awareness.
Tell me a little bit about that, Alicia.
So it helps out those that are on the spectrum.
For example, me, actually.
Not a lot of people here on Web3 know that I'm on the spectrum. For example, me, actually. Not a lot of people here on Web3
know that I'm on the spectrum.
We all are.
Some of us don't know it yet.
But honestly,
I feel like I fit in really well
with that project because
all our NFTs
have 444 in the collections 25 polygon the profits go
towards helping those to have help with programs for adults and kids on the spectrum for autism. That is fantastic.
You want to know something interesting?
So my son's girlfriend, she is definitely on the spectrum.
And she recently found out, and I know when she did find out, she actually cried.
And my son was asking her, like, honey, it's okay.
Like, you don't have to be upset about it.
And she said, no, it's the fact that I finally have a formal diagnosis.
She said it's been so hard over all these years, you know, going to school and trying to get my parents to understand.
Like, there's, I feel like there's more awareness to it now.
So that's nice.
But this is really cool when she flew um whenever she flies overseas or whenever she
flies here to the united states they actually provide them with a lantern is that what it's
called fuck lanyard my bad um a lanyard and um as soon as they see that they know to um provide them
with like a faster service like they don't have to go through the security lines things like
that have you ever seen anything like that I have never been to an airport actually oh okay okay
yeah I just I just thought it was fantastic that they provided that um and she's from Denmark um
but it just basically it's a silent like indicator for them. And they actually had my son also go with her and he's like, no, no,
like I'm not on the spectrum. And they were like, no, it's okay.
Cause you're her support person.
All people and kids and then people who have like special disabilities and
I have like a wide range of different types of disabilities.
So I get like special treatment pretty much everywhere I go
I get like a private chef or I don't have to wait in line um like at Disney World yeah they just like
I sign in take it to get a time and then I go eat something and come back and skip the line
and that's you know I'm that's basically how it is because I will overheat and start puking in line. And they don't want that shit.
What's up, pads?
Yeah, I was just laughing at that, man.
No, I just wanted to say.
On a serious note.
One thing I noticed recently.
The first kind of perk from this.
If you will.
Because I was recently diagnosed. But I'm in my 30s so like I'm older obviously I'm one of the like older people that
gets diagnosed and it's it doesn't make a difference to my life to like to be honest it's just
the reason I went down that path is just to find like a bit of a instruction manual almost like to
help me to kind of like be a more piece of myself you know what I mean yeah I've got something
it's helpful to know it's one of those things yeah it's fine but like um the first thing like
well the only benefit I've had so far which surprised me and it was a really nice thing actually is i was due in um
i was going to like a tribunal to like claim back uh what whatever anyway it doesn't matter i was
just going to a tribunal and they'd read my um the judge or whatever i'd taken the time to actually
read the medical file so they turned the lights down in the thing because like one
of the things I'm sure like
Alicia might agree
with this or like anyone else you know
that can be somewhat
overstimulated very easily is like a pretty
common thing right
yeah I just thought it was
nice that they kind of like accommodate yeah
that's yeah that was like the the first and the only thing that i've seen so far
with people but yeah it fills me with hope yeah i um always thought i was really weird. I, you know, I'm still am but it doesn't,
it didn't make any difference for me. I had like a genetics test and they're like, well,
you have these things to say you could be on the spectrum. And I had like a learning
disability when I was in like school when I was early, like, I didn't learn how to read the same way as most people.
I was memorizing the shapes of words instead of how letters sound out.
So it was interesting.
But I had, like, a learning disability, like, basically,
and they gave me a special accommodation going through elementary, middle, and high school.
And then even part of my college.
Me and you would have been friends, bro.
What was that?
Me and you would have been friends, like, for definite.
But yeah, sorry.
I want to hear your story.
Yeah, well, that's pretty much it. I learned at, like, 38.
You know what I mean?
Like, talk about late diagnosis.
I just think I'm like a little weird.
Maybe a little crazy.
I always knew I wasn't the same as everybody else.
But I honestly just didn't know what that was from.
Interesting.
Interesting.
But it does help know like what things you might want to like look for or be cautious
I always knew though like I'm very self-aware about my limitations so like I know all my
senses are overclocked.
Smell, sight, everything's too bright, everything smells too much, right?
And that's a very common thing for people on the spectrum so you know what i mean but i did like i just never really thought about it
it doesn't help that my dad's side of the family doesn't believe in mental illness
that's never fucking helpful it's one of those as well it's like if you don't know like are you
kind of the same because when i
was growing up i just thought well everyone's the same as me like everyone's just got this
and then like you as you kind of get older you realize oh no actually i'm i'm fucking mentalist
and then it's like yeah you're you're well because you you kind of assume that you're
you're normal and you're like the people you're around. I mean, you can raise a puppy with a bunch of tigers
and convince it, you know, flat out.
That's just the way it is, right?
But the thing I was going to say actually earlier
is like knowing those diagnoses.
So I was trying to get the diagnosis for my health issues, right?
And in the process of getting my Crohn's diagnosis, I also got, like, a diagnosis for a couple other things I wasn't expecting, you know?
But now I know, like, what things I can do to help prevent issues.
Before, I was just, like, spiraling and had no idea what the hell was going on.
I eventually figured out it was, like, an allergy to certain foods, but I still don't
feel good. So,
anyone else would be losing their goddamn
mind, probably, which most
people do when they get diagnosed with a
terminal illness or chronic illness.
It's not curable. You have
to mourn the death of yourself.
You know, it's
a really weird
psychological mindfuck for sure.
Like, well, I guess mindfuck would always be psychological, technically, right?
Let's hope so.
You have to kind of accept that you cannot do stuff in the same way that you did it before.
And that was something that I found really difficult.
I'm sure you did as well.
Like going from like a fit young person
essentially to like oh i can't do that anymore i can't go i went from like superman to fucking
15 minutes of endurance before i overheat and just puke like i get dizzy and stuff like real fast
it's wild i feel like there's like a process to that too right
because almost like a grieving process because it's something you've always been and then you
get hit with something like that exactly and so it's like i was like just i felt like i was super
man you know i faster and stronger than anyone else my size and you know it but fuck man that
could all be taken away so fast and then now it's like you know my my perception
of what a fun vacation is is changed like everything is just totally changed
and at first you know nobody likes change first people are just like, fuck, I'm missing out on this, this, this, this.
I mean, now I'm pretty much over it, but I still have days where I'm like, is this really fucking my life?
I can't have a goddamn milkshake.
But Tricky, don't you think that it's so important when you do have those days to remember the really good days?
Because for me it is, whether anything mental health wise, right.
But to see, I don't know,
it's hard not to really lean into those bad days is what I'm saying.
Because when that shit happens, it's easy to spiral down.
we tend to be really good at a pity party if we're not interrupted or consciously avoiding that situation with emotional intelligence is what it is.
It's a hard thing to teach and it's even a harder thing to grasp until you really got to go through some shit.
But man, that's why you got to tell
your kids young and create those habits early. So they just continue to stay positive and,
and, you know, don't let themselves spiral about, you know, if you can't help it and you can't fix
it right now, don't worry about it. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, that is one of my favorite things. I remember
a teacher saying this and it was something I had heard her say, not my teacher. Oh, that is one of my favorite things. I remember a teacher saying this,
and it was something I had heard her say, not my teacher. But she had actually said,
she went up to a little girl because she had heard her make fun of the other little girl.
Basically, she was giving her a hard time about her outfit and about her hair. The teacher pulled
her to the side and she goes, I know, I know, I'm already going to get in trouble. And she goes,
no, I want to talk to you about this.
Like, what is it?
Something that you don't like about the way this little girl's hair is, is there something that she can change with that in 30 seconds or even a minute?
And she goes, no, hair takes longer than a minute to grow.
to grow and she goes then don't ever say anything so it reminds you it just gives you that fucking
And she goes, then don't ever say anything.
reminder of don't say anything to somebody unless you know that they can change that within a minute
does that make sense like it's not nice to ever talk shit but i don't know if that makes sense
you have to be able to deliver good um constructive criticism that doesn't trigger people to be
defensive or reactionary because that doesn't help communication well yeah i mean what people can't help it do you know what i mean like if
if somebody and i know i give papa her time about like the um ultra sensitivity like to noises and
stuff but that's how him and i banter but the reality is is if somebody were like oh my god
papa seriously you can't handle the noise of that fan? Get the fuck over it. Oh dude, they would be buried by me. Because Papa sincerely gets
overloaded. He gets overstimulated. He doesn't do well around children. He doesn't do well around
a lot of energies. There's certain noises that he cannot physically handle. So for anybody to then criticize him because of something that he's, you know what I mean?
That's upsetting his nervous system to me.
It's just completely asinine.
Now he's got extra anxiety, um, over this thing that they, that you can't necessarily
And in fact, it does the opposite. Yeah, talk about counterproductive.
What do you think, Pads?
Yeah, I've been thinking about this recently.
This has been kind of in the news in the UK.
with i'm a bit of a nerd for football even though it's like boring nowadays but um yeah like
I'm a bit of a nerd for football, even though it's boring nowadays.
criticism versus self-constructive criticism or criticism versus just having a go at someone
so i think if you are saying something about some someone that they can't change i think that's just
you you're being mean i think if it's something they can change
you can do it in a constructive or a non-constructive way yeah ugly shirt but like
ugly shirt let him rip ugly nose why even say anything
even even ugly shirt dude like we gotta be on some kind of level, we got to be on some kind of level. Like, we have to be, like, some kind of respect factor for mankind to come up to me and be like, damn, mama, your shirt looks like shit.
You know what I mean?
There's got to be some kind of a friendship respect level there.
That's when it gets to the, well, what context is it framed in?
Because if you say, you know, mama uh i know you could look better
like i know you've got like this better dress or whatever it's not really like
no that's true it's all about the it's the delivery
it's the intention behind it right yes you guys move with intention thanks papa
don't say you would look better in this or that you'd be like
maybe try this on and see if it feels comfortable.
Or as I used to like to say when I worked in retail for the very little bit of time I did,
oh, you know what?
This shirt over here actually complements your figure so much better.
Let's try this on and you would be amazed how much it cinches that waist.
Those are the kind of things.
It is about the intention for sure oh yeah even if um like i know like uh i don't know i think even if
some of the highest level coaches in sport and stuff like that, I don't feel that they're delivering a different message.
It's the way that they're saying it.
So it's like, even if you're going to deliver a bit of criticism,
like dangle the carrot out there and give someone a bit of a,
I don't know if that's just like man management to me.
Yeah. And tone too.
Papa and I were actually talking about my tone today.
I have a really difficult time with my tone. He thinks I'm pissed off all. Papa and I were actually talking about my tone today. I have a really
difficult time with my tone. He thinks I'm pissed off all the time. And I go, Oh my God,
you think I've been pissed off for all these years that we've been together? And he's like,
well, yeah, most of it. And I'm like, Jesus. So I joked with him. And I told him I'm going to give
him every emotion throughout the day so that he knows I'm not pissed off. Because I do I have
kind of a bitch tone. I always have.
You got to show him the range so he has a baseline.
Yeah, I'm German.
And you know how they say walking, like a resting bitch face?
I have been told I have resting murder face.
It's funny.
You mentioned the German because it's like German. So so when people speak german it sounds like they're always
angry like think about like
the word for better flying
you know like
it's been like schmetter
it literally just means
i've just been riding a bicycle
but then it sounds like you're like
Declaring war
I said I love you
Yeah exactly
You want me to do what to your what?
What did you call me?
Oh lord have mercy Well today has been your been your uh the language class we appreciate you
coming uh tomorrow we will be speaking russian so um no seriously though you guys i'm gonna go
um i'm having word finding problems i think i gotta go take some medicine
uh but i appreciate all you guys again sorry for not being presently present for the entire fucking first hour. Papa, thank you so much for
being here and holding it down for me. Um, yeah, we'll be back tomorrow though. Right, babe? You
want to close this out? Yeah. Thank you guys. Uh, we'll be back tomorrow 4 PM Papa standard time,
seven o'clock Eastern. Uh, until, do something kind for yourself, stay present,
and as always, move with intention.
We'll see you tomorrow. .
