Yo, Tonio sending out the alert to the masses.
Happy Wednesday, everybody.
We cooking with this fish grease or what?
Hot fish oil in the platter, bro.
Yo, shout out to the Uzi winners.
That's a crazy one right there.
Yeah, that's a LeBron, D-Wade, and Chris Bosh with the, yeah, we taking our talents to South
That's a Kobe talking about, yo, listen, man.
Dan, you just cracked over and opened a bottle?
Yo, don't worry about that.
All right, we're going to have that type of night.
All right, I'm not mad at it.
Yeah, that's a, yeah, that's a serious situation right there, man.
Has he ever, has he ever dropped anything?
With anybody else, like a partnership like that?
I mean, like a collection in general.
Yeah, I think he's just been like teasing shit for the longest.
Yeah, maybe we get some experts up here to tell us.
R.P. Tina Turner, though, bro.
They said it was a condition that's been going on for a minute, man.
And you just never know what these celebs, man, what they go through.
You know, they're humans, too.
And, you know, I feel like she held it down gracefully.
And she's been through a lot.
You want me to get into the record?
Get the little intro going while we send out the links?
Going to start retweeting the space out.
Going to invite somebody, see if we get a special guest up in here.
And then, yeah, we'll get this thing cooking.
You want me to play the joint?
You must understand the touch of your hand makes my folks react.
That it's only the three-o-boy-meaning girl while the sense of trying.
You must try to ignore that in me more than that.
Oh, what's love got to do?
What's love but a second-hand emotion?
Who needs a heart when a heart can be broken?
If it may seem to you, then I'm acting confused when you're close to me.
If I tend to look dazed, I read it someplace.
I've got cause to be, but there's a name for it.
There's a phrase that fits.
But whatever the reason, you do it for me.
Oh, what's love got to do?
What's love but a second-hand emotion?
What's love but a second-hand emotion?
Taking on a new direction?
I've been thinking about my own protection.
It scares me to feel this way.
Oh, what's love got to do?
What's love but a second-hand emotion?
What's love but a second-hand emotion?
Who needs a heart when a heart can't be broken?
What's love with a sweet old fashioned notion?
Who needs a heart when a heart can't be broken?
Who needs a heart when a heart can't be broken?
What's love got to do with it?
Hey everyone, Random Radio episode 56, Let Em Cook.
Yo man, R.I.P. to Tina Turner.
That like two or three hours ago that kind of messed up my day.
Oh man, just going to go back and just play some of her vibes, man.
Kind of get into it, you know.
She influenced a lot of people, even an artist that I work with from Brooklyn.
Just the passion to sing it from her soul and having a story and the abuse, you know.
She birthed a lot of female powerhouses, man.
But yeah, other than that, you know, another beautiful weekend in the NFT space.
Shout out to everyone getting there.
Well, not everyone, but yeah.
Shout out to the people who won a Ooze Friends spot.
The announcement with Tony Babble, you know.
That's the coming to South Beach, baby.
Coming to South Beach, let's get it.
We got to welcome him right, man.
And I did check while I was playing the song.
He did drop stuff on Super Rare, but not a collection on OpenSea.
So yeah, it'll be good to welcome him to the dark side, you know.
Yeah, that's going to be crazy.
I don't want to be greedy, man, but I'm trying to see what other type of collabs is next.
I was so tempted to tweet out, like, when DK, typical friends, you know.
I don't know, man, but I think that's super healthy, man.
Kind of take a break from the 10K, 5K collections and, you know, get the collabs going.
I feel like it's like KD and Kyrie going to the nets, then we got, like, you know what I'm saying?
I feel like it's the era of the heavyweights teaming up and getting the chip, you know what I'm saying?
And I'm not mad at that, you know.
Like, that gives me positivity in the space and it just amplifies the art aspect of it as well.
I like the way they're formatting it, too, with typical friends, you know.
It looks like Tony's not going to be the last artist, you know.
So, like you said, it's one of those things, like, who's going to be next, which is pretty exciting.
Yeah, it's so exciting that it's scary.
That threw me all the way off guard, I'm not going to lie.
You know who got Tonio excited?
His butt probably perked up a little bit, man.
But, yeah, dog, that's crazy.
I'm seeing and hearing, what, only 67 friends listed?
That's kind of scary, too, man.
Like, you get Bob and Blondie on a good night.
There ain't gonna be none listed, bro.
It's gonna be like, yo, I can't even buy one.
It's actually none listed.
Like, yo, there's none listed.
I'm gonna be getting, like, 20 Weeth offers, 20 Eeth Weeth offers on the collection, bro.
But, yeah, that's kind of crazy, man.
That's insane to think about it.
It just goes to show, man.
Yeah, it is a marathon, and I'm glad that, you know, with all the time that's went by
and all of the quality that's been delivered that we still got people still here listening
and holding it down and, you know, not listening and continuing on this journey with the toys
and, you know, the limited editions and the apparel, everything, bro.
Like, this shit is amazing.
We need more, though, right, Sounds?
That's why everybody wants more all the time.
It's like, yo, look at all this stuff that's happening.
Go into Discord or wherever else, and you'll see that.
Well, now, we just did it, too.
It was like, oh, yeah, Tony, that's cool, but, yo, what about DK, bro?
You know what I'm saying?
Like, you gotta keep announcing shit every day to keep us satisfied.
I think you're so right, though, man, with the amount of the low percentage of listed,
and then also 20 friends from 2Eth Floor, which, you know, I don't watch the floor unless for a project I'm trying to, like, buy in or sell or whatever.
But, you know, like you said, I mean, it's one of those things we're getting to a point where the people that are still around, they're galvanized, and they're gonna hold, you know, they're not really trying to flip or anything like that.
But, you know, it is what it is at this point.
Yeah, and that's, this is the, when they say building in the bear, this is the feeling that I'm liking and what we're seeing.
Just, all right, what happens now?
And how do we move forward?
Because this is new territory for everybody, man.
And patience always wins, man.
And the one thing why I'm still holding, man, is I just always get this long-term, I always got the long-term vision feeling from IF that Invisible Land 2033, whether it's real or not.
And just the quality, the urban Disney slash supreme cause feel that they always gave me.
And it's great to see it.
Just, I'm still getting surprised each time.
And, you know, yeah, man.
Like, man, typical friends.
And what's the dude's name with Meme Land?
Mind gag, and imagine it's like you get, oh, man.
I don't know if that means I'm, you know, if you just started watching something or if I'm talking too much.
Oh, I had to close that window down.
Hopefully you was in the private browser, bro, the incognito mode.
But knowing you, you wasn't.
Nah, knowing you was right in your office.
But, yeah, man, I'm done rambling, bro.
Yeah, so we got some people that dialed in here.
And to everybody else here, you know, welcome to the show.
Feel free to leave your song requests and dedications in the little purple bubble there.
And, you know, maybe we'll play your song during the show.
Spawny, congrats on the new show that you launched today.
I guess today we're pretty much considered The Leftovers.
Wait, before he even starts, I missed the show.
You ain't missed nothing, really.
Because I see what a lot of people do, man.
They need a little head start.
So they're like, yo, we should do it an hour before Sounds and Dave.
And then we're going to just say, yeah, check them out after us.
Yo, that shit was so funny.
People were telling them, yo, we got to shut the show down.
Get this shit out of here, man.
You got the real show coming.
Yo, it's prime time, man.
We're like Friday night, 8 p.m., man.
You know who they coming to see, bro.
Everything else is just a filler.
I got to get used to the scheduling with that.
I appreciate you, Dave, for coming through.
He came through with his alter ego or something and just had the whole space cracking up.
So I really appreciate that.
And yeah, Kenyon gave out a detonated DJing tune in that space.
So it's not just nothing happened.
Summer said she felt like she can talk and hang out with us.
So yeah, man, Ooze Radio is going to be growing.
It's a space where people could come up and just be themselves and rap on top of different music
or whatever you want to do.
I think Dave is going to steal Summer.
Who the fuck is this guy?
Jordy, thanks for dialing.
Did you hear me or was I on mute?
I'm trying to listen to your space and Elon's space, but it's a rug.
Elon's going to pretty much probably kill DeSantis on that.
It's going to be so funny.
I don't know what his team was thinking.
Didn't Elon say he's going to come here after he's done?
We don't need, we don't even need Elon.
We got Coinbilly trolling Elon.
That was like an epic, epic post that he put out there with the Shrek.
Thank God he only got a warning.
Especially during the, that was like the toy week too, right?
Cause it was literally like a week before I watched Super Mario Brothers on Twitter,
And that dude got banned.
I just want to know, I just want to know how he had that on standby.
Like he got like, you know, a torrent like hard drive with all the shit bootlegs on it.
Don't keep your NFTs in your torrent hard drive.
Thanks for dialing into the show, man.
Um, I honestly saw who's friends on the timeline recently.
And although I signed up to the premium.
Oh, now there's this guy.
So if anyone speaks lightly, I won't be able to hear you.
But, um, I honestly had no clue what whose friends were.
I, although I signed up for the pre-ment.
Is that your kid or your dog huffing in the back there?
Um, I can't tell which one's huffing, but they're both huffing.
I just don't know who's louder.
Did, did you hear what Luke said?
I think he said he signed up for who's friend and he doesn't know what it is.
So I don't, yeah, I think that's what he said.
I mean, there were only 10, 10 spots for kids friends.
I'm not sure, but I signed up.
Um, I don't know if there was a public raffle.
If so, I'd love to enter, but I don't think I won.
I just didn't know what whose friends were.
And I was wondering if there's like a thread or like a spot to read about it.
Or if there's someone who loves talking about it, but I know that it can get annoying if everyone's asking for apologies.
Um, we're not really probably the experts on that.
And this is more random radio stuff.
So, I mean, Jordan, you might be able to take that one.
No, I'll just pin a thread.
So there is a big difference between typical friends and random character collective, right?
There are two, two separate things, but similar like ownership or no.
So random radio or random radio, RCC is pretty much a, um, collective of different artists.
And, um, Marcus did an agreement with them to launch invisible friends and have, um, RCC help them out.
So that's kind of like just a one-off thing.
Um, RCC is pretty much like, um, um, launch pad for artists to, to roll out collections and,
you know, with their team over at RCC, they're able to, to help the artists in certain areas,
you know, like, um, social media, um, the dev work, all that kind of stuff.
So it's like a one-stop shop for people.
Um, um, after Marcus launched invisible friends, uh, he started, uh, typical friends, which is pretty much his launch pad to kind of do what he wants to do and, um, launch out other things like this, who's friend that is on pinned up there to the top.
And, um, so that, that's basically it.
Um, so IP wise, um, RCC and, um, Marcus slash typical friends on the IP for invisible friends, if that makes sense.
But, um, for any future collections from Marcus, it's most likely he's going to run that through the typical friends.
Jonathan, thanks for dialing in.
What's good. What's good. Don't hit me with the AI, man.
Uh, I, I don't have any control over that.
No, I'm just stopping by to say hi.
I haven't, I haven't caught up with a lot of your beautiful faces or voices and whatnot in a long time.
Um, yeah, I was listening in on the beginning.
Uh, what NFT sounds was saying, what you were saying.
Um, but yeah, what a great time to be just like, you know, part, a part of IFA.
IFA as a whole and everything that Marcus has done, like, like you said, it's a marathon, not a race.
And, um, like that news about Tony, uh, it's probably like the biggest news in a long, long time.
I mean, there's been a lot of updates. Right. But it's just like, if you put into perspective, just for the longevity, longevity, I don't know. I think I'm pronouncing that wrong.
No, you're good. Um, like just for the ecosystem and just what that means, I think maybe a lot of outsiders, you know, they like to FUD and everything, but they probably don't realize how big it is.
Just like, as we start introducing bigger names and just like these names that a lot of the space is aware with, like, it just really stamps us as like, you know, like an, like an evergreen collection in the space.
And it's, it's much bigger than NFTs now. Right. It's just like, like we've always said digital collectibles. And I think, um, they're like a staple in the space in that regard.
So it's just, it's really great to see it. Like what a time to be alive, right. For, for typical friends and IF and all that stuff. So hope everyone's happy with that.
Yeah. It's a, it's a great time, um, for the space too. I mean, there's the thing I'm most focused on right now is just really seeing who's expanding outside of this ecosystem that we have and, and really pulling more people in and bringing more awareness to
what NFTs are, what these collections do and what they mean and, and all that. So even over the last few weeks with the excitement with like, um,
pudgy, uh, penguins and the toys and launching on Amazon, I mean, stuff like that is, is, is what's really, what really excites me. I mean, I love the stuff that's kind of inside for us to kind of enjoy and kind of get access to.
But, um, I think the next step in this whole thing is really going to be, um, reaching the masses in different ways and, and showing them the technology and, and why all this really matters, um, and doing it in a way that, um, you know, a grand grandparent can kind of understand, you know, or a five-year-old can understand.
Um, so when they go get their, their little toy or collectible and they're able to connect it to their wallet, you know, it's something that kids are going to be even doing from a young age.
Hopefully this pudgy penguin thing turns into a tickle me Elmo. That's what I would really love to see.
Yeah, man. Like, yeah, the mass market appeal move, uh, by Luca, that's was, that was king. And like, you know, if everybody could follow suit and just basically mass market appeal, that's where it's at.
I mean, at the end of the day, cause what percentage of people that are actually into crypto, right? Like the whole goal is to go worldwide and whatnot. And like that, that approach was pretty insane and it was a good success story. So we'll see where things go, but I think that's the way to go from now on. Right.
Yeah. I mean, we need more oxygen, AKA money currency. I mean, we, we all can't just keep trading the same, same money in this thing. So yeah, we need, we need masses to come in.
CEO Papa. Thanks for dialing in. What's up?
Uh, hello, this is CEO Papa. Can I help you?
Can we help you? Uh, you called the show.
Oh, hi, random radio. How are you?
Yeah. So sounds, so we kick him off the stage or what?
We'll give him five more minutes.
I didn't think so. It looks, it looks too clean for it to be yours.
I know. I got this one from sounds. Sounds sold it to me on the low.
Nah, I wouldn't have a head on bro.
How's everything going? Toys? Who we letting cook? Everybody? We all cooking?
You know, the reason why I came, I came up with some of these titles just randomly and this one kind of came to me a few days ago.
And I think it's one of those, one of those, um, phrases that we all know. And, um, you know, we just, we want to let people kind of say what they want to say and get it out there or, or kind of do what they're going to do or, or finish what they were saying or finish what they were doing.
Um, and I think in some, some spaces in some ways, people kind of did that. But then I also thought that, you know, let them cook. I mean, the whole thing with like the, the frog in the pot of boiling water, thinking that it's, you know, having a spa day, but it's really getting cooked slowly inside.
So I don't know where that title really came from. It came from a few different places. I take that what it's worth though.
Exciting week. A lot of stuff coming, huh?
Do we, do we, can we just let them cook?
Yeah. Yeah. Do we know anything?
No, I'm waiting for one of you guys to paper hand it.
Exactly what I'm waiting for.
Bro, someone already took like a 0.09 to eat.
Worst case, I'll pay more.
I mean, it's whatever. I don't, it was one of those, like, honestly, I just didn't have time.
I've been so busy with work, uh, and short staffed.
So it's one of those, like, I'm finally at lunch sitting in this, uh, spot where they come up and serve you in your car.
Oh man, it's great. Can't wait.
My man, I mean, it's, I mean, it's, I mean, it's called Burger Master.
My man's hyped up this, you know, my man hyped up the Sonic like it was some luxury event just now.
Burger Master, I mean, it's better than Sonic, but I mean, same shit.
Like, I'm at a luxury restaurant laying back in my Maybach where they roll up to me in Rollerblades.
Well, let me ask you this.
Do they serve you Dungeon S and Swiss at, uh, Sonic?
Nah, but they serve an All-American Glizzy with a, with a frozen, like, blue slushie.
Never had the All-American Glizzy?
Nah, I'm not, I'm not into the same shit as you, Sounds.
I'm trying to, I'm trying to get hip, you know, trying to hop, you know, I'm trying to learn.
You guys are both very, oh, go ahead, Sounds.
I was going to say, you both are kind of fancy because you actually have vehicles where you can eat out of your vehicles.
Like, I don't even have a car.
So, like, how do I look rolling up to Sonic just standing there?
You probably, what do you mean?
You can roll up on those, uh, you know, those Skechers that got the, uh, wheels in them?
I could see Dave, you know, just sliding through on one of those, just pop them out.
Just rolling up on people.
You know, I got to find this old picture.
Actually, we actually did that, um, in Vegas one time at Sonics.
We just pulled, we were just, like, standing in the parking spot and we ordered from there and it was hilarious.
But we were, like, I was in the driver's seat and my friend was in the passenger and then we had, like, two people in the back.
So we were kind of standing just like that.
So we just didn't have a car.
Who else just came up here?
Yemi, welcome to the stage.
I think he's in the restroom again.
He usually, like, puts us on and...
You got to hit that unmute button.
We're just going to play crickets until Yemi unmutes and talks to us, okay?
All right, uh, J and Dave, uh, an empty sound, man.
And I won't lie, bro, I am really, really exhausted.
I just want to try my best to make it to this space.
I'll see you all right to you guys.
Oh, man, we appreciate it, man.
But you got to get some rest, man.
Yeah, definitely, definitely.
I guess when I come see how I get that.
You got your pajamas on now?
You got your little teddy bear with you?
Is the teddy bear's name Tonio?
That's all I need to know.
You guys got, like, matching pajamas?
I don't have a teddy bear.
I'm really, really tired.
My day has been a long one, you know.
I've been on the road almost all day, so I'm really tired.
I'm glad you had a safe day out there on the road.
It's dangerous to be out there, and I'm glad you made it home safe.
This show will always, you know, we'll be here every week, so.
Always play the recording, too.
But, yeah, we love to hear your voice and love to have you on.
Man, this is, man, it sounds, this is the only reason why I do this show still.
It's just because of the people, you know.
Manscaped ain't cut another check, so we're doing this for free, and it's just.
Yeah, we all we got, man.
You know, it's, it's, believe it or not, man, I'll do this.
I'll do this for free forever, man, you know.
Wait, Manscaped was sponsoring the spaces?
Yeah, we got, we got commercials.
Can we get a discount code?
It's, um, random radio, 15 for 15% off.
Damn, my man sound like he got some, a lot of grown, some grown.
You know, he jumped up real quick, like, wait, what?
You got a date coming up, Luke?
I'm feeling kind of bushy.
I mean, date or no date, you should just, you know, take care of your manscaping, right?
Don't let it get out of hand, ladies and gentlemen.
You can let it get out of hand, you know, every once in a while, but just have the manscaper handy.
I mean, having flashbacks from last night.
Having flashbacks from the last space when someone said something about their mother and.
I don't know what you're talking about there, but I'm not sure the context.
Jordine, what are you laughing at?
The context of this conversation.
I don't know what the context of this conversation is anymore.
That's the name of the show, ladies and gentlemen.
It was lovely talking to you, Dave.
I'm going to have some birthday cake.
Cry myself to sleep because I'm.
It's your birthday today, man.
Feeling another pop in my knees here and there.
Everybody throw some hands up for Jonathan.
No, they definitely ain't party even when you go in the club now.
He'll get wheeled in the club now.
Let's say, sir, you didn't make it for the early work special.
You have to pay full price again.
Have a good night, everyone.
What other news that we have sounds?
Shout out to the winners for the, um, the, uh,
What happened to the little, um, your little list?
Let's get summer in here.
I have a feeling I'm going to, I'm going to regret that.
I was just going to leave that one up to you.
But, um, speaking of lists, if I'm about to go to the store, everyone on stage, what's
one thing you would say I should buy from the store right now when I go to the store?
I'm going to go to Target, then the Sprouts, so you can pick which store and which item.
You ever have that before, Sounds?
So, deodorant, kombucha, and butt wipes?
Yo, whoever said deodorant, I'm worried about you, bro.
Why are you worried about me?
I'm making sure he needs it.
Are you getting it for Luke?
He asks you what you want, bro.
Oh, I thought he said what he needs.
I thought he was asking for suggestions on stuff.
Well, yo, who said I need butt wipes?
Yo, that's a fire one, dude.
I just realized that a lot of dental floss has, like, heavy microplastics in it.
So, you got to get that, like, all-natural dental floss, you know, like, made of hemp.
You also need your preparation age.
I recently got some mouth rinse.
Is that different than mouthwash?
Mouth rinse doesn't have any alcohol in it, apparently.
Nah, we need the alcohol, bro.
Nah, I got the mouthwash and the mouth rinse.
See, see, I'm looking at it right now.
I'm looking at it right now.
And by looking at it right now, I just rush to my bathroom.
Oh, it's downstairs on the kitchen counter.
You got to run through this.
So, it says, so, this is TheraBreath.
Dentist-formulated fresh breath oral rinse.
Fights bad breath for 24 hours.
And on the back, it says, are guaranteed to you.
Your satisfaction with every TheraBreath product is guaranteed or your money back.
Yeah, I got that today, man.
But does it have to water in it?
That's our sponsor for the show right there.
It keeps your mouth clean for like 48 hours.
So, I don't have to brush my teeth for two days after my teeth?
Luke, you were asking if it had fluoride in it?
Also, that probably rules out the dental floss, huh?
Does it have fluoride in it?
That's what the bottle is pretty green, isn't it, too?
You might have to sit here.
So, I'm spraying with the slime, man.
Yeah, I might need to get some sponsors for Random Radio, man.
You know, to anyone who's not on stage but has a suggestion for something that could improve
my quality of life or, it seems like, my hygiene, go ahead and retweet the space and
comment in the bottom right, preferably with a photo.
So, I don't, I'm kind of simple.
I'm a simple man, so I don't want to not know what you're talking about and spend my hard-earned
money on the wrong thing.
You should get, like, one of those, like, I don't know if you got a family or not, but
maybe just get, like, a little miniature cake.
You know, nothing too elaborate, but, you know, just, like, a little slice of life, man.
A little slice of happiness.
Just take that home and slice it up with the fam and, you know, celebrate life, man.
It doesn't have to be somebody's birthday.
I guess he doesn't know what I mean.
So, you were the one they were talking about when they said, let him cook.
You're about to go to the store and get some stuff, so, yeah, we got to let you cook, man.
Yeah, there's baking and cooking, guys.
That actually might be a good tagline for some cannabinoids, man.
Just, you know, giving generational wealth out here on random radio.
All right, what else are we talking about here?
I mean, I heard Spani had a show come out today.
I mean, I really appreciate everybody that creates a space just to, you know, get the community out there and talk about different topics.
And I think it's important that we, you know, have a little bit of a footprint in the Twitter spaces world with all these other spaces and things like that going on.
So, Jordan, should he run back his poem?
I don't think I'm going to have anybody performing anything on this show for a while.
Yeah, I don't think we need any more performances on the show.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Who's the guy who used to do the dad jokes?
Yeah, his jokes used to get a little crazy.
I'd have to, like, most of the time I was bracing myself because I'm like, yo, this dude, we're taking it too far sometimes.
He'd be like, yo, there's four strippers going into the club with two babies.
There's no way this is going to end well, bro.
It is like a bad, it ends up being like a bad abortion joke or something.
Didn't that guy hungry always have dad jokes?
I don't know who that is.
You know that guy that said that he was hungry one day and then I was like, oh, hi, hungry, I'm dad.
No, yeah, you're losing me?
That was my attempt at a dad joke and it worked because it wasn't funny.
Oh, also on the subject of the soundboard that just played, the soundboard that just played, or, I mean, the tabs that we were trying to close in the background.
I never, I never execute anything in an incognito.
What do I have to hide from?
Oh, you actually paid for that?
You're on the next level, man.
You probably hang out with Jordine.
I'm talking about my machine.
I'm talking about my computer, my phone.
What sense do I have to go in an incognito?
I always have my on for anything, so I don't know.
I just always have it on.
You don't want somebody to pick up your phone and be like, yo, can I use your phone real quick?
I got to search something.
That hasn't happened, though, before, bro.
Nah, sometimes I'd be out in public like, oh, man, let me look something up.
I remember I was in this Uber one time.
I was about to look something up, and this guy was sitting right next to me because it
was him and three of his homies in the backseat.
I was like, yeah, no, what is that one actor that's on the tip of my tongue?
Then I opened up the Brave app, and I was like, wait a minute.
And he probably got like two seconds of the screen, p-hub.com, you know?
Man, I know as far as like news.
How do you follow Will Smith?
You follow the press prince.
Yeah, he's out of control.
CEO, can you hear Sounds?
I mean, am I low or what?
Stop, stop, stop, step down.
Nah, I don't know that guy.
I came on the show a couple of times.
Yeah, I don't really like him like that, man.
Yeah, I think he's deaf in one ear or something.
But yeah, I was going to say, man, there's a meetup, man.
NFT meetup, RCC meetup in LA, June 4th, I believe.
Quarter Milk definitely is, I think, leading that community meetup.
I think it's with other communities as well.
Like Island, The Undead, or a couple of different people.
Yeah, so June 4th, man, LA.
Definitely hop in the Discord and get details.
I should have details on it, damn.
I'll try to find the, I wonder if they posted about it.
I saw Like Island posted about it.
So you guys are going to do a meetup when I'm in Mammoth?
That's kind of fucked up.
Luke, the world does not revolve around you, bro.
I'm taking other NFT people to Mammoth.
Well, we're all going together.
Bro, where is Mammoth even?
It's like in the middle of California, kind of.
Nah, it's not happening, bro.
Only the part of California that we care about is the part that might drown soon.
Damn, I never even heard of that, bro.
Let me know if you guys are ready for a completely unrelated tangent.
And is anybody, so I'm watching Breaking Bad all the way through for the first time.
Walt is a menace, brother.
I don't know if anybody else has watched Breaking Bad.
Yeah, I love it though, right?
I've watched it 12 times.
Yeah, no, I was just running out of things to watch on YouTube, running out of good shows
I was like, you know what?
Let me get a good old Breaking Bad at a chance.
Because I watched it, started it before, and then stopped.
And now I'm going back through and watching it.
And it's like, oh my gosh, it's so good.
I'm on like season three.
I'm glad you're watching that.
And then after that, you'll have to watch Better Call Saul.
Yeah, that was a good spinoff that they did.
CO, Papa, you want to say your joke again?
I wonder if he can't hear me now.
Yo, CEO, Alan Black, can you hear us?
Yo, did you not hear my Will Smith joke?
Yeah, you got to say it again.
I said, do you know how you follow Will Smith in the snow?
You follow the Fresh Prince?
I wasn't even going to get, like, I was like, I was like, should I, should I do the laugh
I was straight looking at the laugh soundboard.
I was like, nah, it just doesn't even, I'm sorry, man.
I can't even, I got to give you the ding, man.
I got to give you the, the light.
Good taste is hard to find these days.
I'm not going to lie, that's kind of mint.
I don't even know what that means.
No one knows what it means, but it's provocative.
It gets the people going.
It took me a minute to get the print, you know, Prince Prince, Fresh Prince.
That was pretty good, right?
I feel like I've heard it, like, twice before.
And, like, that third time, it's just not hitting.
Also, I wish there was, like, a light golf lap.
Golf, golf clap on this, on this soundboard, in this, in this bird app.
Because that's exactly what I was getting.
I'm sure sounds can get that going.
Yeah, I need to charge you.
Charge $100 per sound request.
So the song request, that was for Engage, man.
I think you requested a song, right?
That joint kind of slapped.
I'm not going to lie, man.
I might play it for the outro.
I've been finding, guys, hear me out.
I've been finding all my new music lately.
And it's like banger on TikTok, my For You page.
I've heard enough from you.
Are you learning dances, too?
Nah, that's just my name.
Nah, Dancing Square is on to something.
I mean, you could definitely.
I mean, TikTok is the list to really get stuff out there.
Oh, I said Dancing Square?
Oh, you didn't do that perfectly?
I was going to let it fly.
You said the square dance?
What are you doing, brother?
You know what really needs to happen?
I need to do one of those cognitive tests where they say, you know, point to the circle.
I'm probably going to point to the fucking triangle.
Blondie, thanks for dialing in.
I was on the phone with a principal for almost an hour.
Dave, what did your daughter do?
Did your daughter smack up somebody?
I was thinking about this the other day.
I was thinking about this the other day.
I mean, mind you, I'm 27.
You're not that young, bro.
In the NFTs, you're 48, bro.
In the NFT years, I'm 69.
I was like, because me, personally, I don't think I'm having children.
I mean, this could change in, like, five, 10 years.
I think, like, I had a thought the other day.
I was like, I'd have to be mentally deranged to have a child.
Yeah, it's happening to a lot of people around your age where they're really just waiting.
You know, rolling triangle.
It's just happening, man.
You got to just roll with it, you know?
You don't want to, like, you know.
Like, I think about the fucked up thoughts that I have on a day-to-day basis.
I can't imagine replicating it, man.
I guess, you know, I used to believe, like, when I was around your age that having a child
is, like, the product of the love between you and the other person, you know?
But now I'm on this whole, yeah.
There's so much shit going on in the world.
Shout out to Miss Khalifa.
Yeah, you guys got to reproduce, man.
I know you got NFTs and you got here, but go out there and practice, man.
Legacy is one thing, though, too.
I try to practice, but I get denied.
Saints, you can't talk until we let you in.
Like, it was a struggle, but, you know, look where we got now, bro.
Got a nice chiseled chin.
You talking about Joe, the co-worker?
Yeah, Joe, the co-worker.
You can't even see his chin.
Nah, you can tell through the beard, bro.
I want the context on this call with the principal.
We definitely glazed over that.
I mean, just kids have finals, and people are cheating, and nobody wants to rat anybody
out, but the kids that...
Yo, you're going through some garbage university shit.
Kids that didn't cheat got really...
It's, like, really obvious the kids that didn't cheat because the teacher makes the test, so
the questions don't match the answer.
So then she gave a paper copy and told them to use the paper copy to answer the test questions
on the Google form that doesn't match.
It doesn't even make sense.
The teacher's already been fired, but she has to finish out the year or something.
She left the room for, like, 15 minutes, and it wasn't in lockdown browsers, so the kids
I mean, it was the whole stupid nonsense.
Yo, so she really went to the bathroom to do some lines during a test.
Yeah, she had to go to the paper version of the test to clean up her mess from her
messed up Google form test.
Saints, thanks for dialing to the show and for staying on hold patiently.
Yeah, you can help me by pretty much stating what you want to say here.
Oh, I didn't want to say anything.
I just wanted to come up and say hi.
Did you remove the seat off your bike?
It goes in like a hot dog down a slippery hallway.
For now, until I switched gears.
I was actually so afraid to switch gears during that whole bike ride.
I think Sponny is currently getting his hair dyed.
He's going to become a ginger.
Dancing Circle, you know Saints?
They start with an S, though.
Saints, how'd you get that name?
Do you know who Supreme Saint was back in the day?
Like, are you into sneakers at all?
I know Supreme, though, yeah.
Hypothetically, I may or may not have ran it.
It was a Twitter account that leaked insider Adidas info
The name had to get changed to Saint
because of Supreme Copyright.
And then the Twitter account, hypothetically,
was sold off to someone else.
Saint isn't in that business anymore.
So how this space was recorded, you know?
Wait, Saint, you're just LARPing?
This is an elaborate sting operation.
Yo, all we did was make you comfortable for weeks.
and now you freaking admitting everything.
Can you speak a little clearer into the mic, please?
You can just drop some ETH into DavePlowden.eth,
You know, I'll take this space down
as soon as that transaction comes over.
You know, attorney-client privilege.
Yeah, something like that.
Who the hell is an attorney in here?
Yo, where's our lawyer that used to pop up, man?
He probably got caught up in Vegas or some shit.
Yeah, he's maybe heated piece of the block right now.
Yeah, he's probably locked up,
representing a rug project, bro.
I heard he's representing Ben.
He's like, yo, I used to have 15 years of law experience
Like, I just want you guys to know,
I've been here, a lawyer for 16 years.
I'm bringing my experience down here in Web3.
All you have to do is click my link, and...
He's experiencing some special things
in D-Block in the prison, I'm sure.
You think he's getting the fault?
Yo, D3, we love you, bro.
Like Jared did when he went to jail from Subway.
Why is this the second time Jared from Subway
has been in his face this weekend?
Yeah, that's Joe's fault.
He did go to jail like the real Jared from Subway.
Yo, real quick, Alpha, though.
That's the best sandwich spot ever made.
I haven't tried it with the Jersey's sauce or something.
Yeah, you didn't have Mike's way, his sauce,
No, I have it Dave's way.
I'm thinking of a sandwich shop right now.
I mean, Jimmy John's is all right if you're...
I was going to say something.
Boy, it's about to get canceled.
He's about to run off into the sunset with that cap on.
No hard R's, please, man.
It was very difficult to keep things clean, man.
You got to watch what you say on so many levels, bro.
But no, I was going to...
I'm thinking of another one.
I'm in fucking Georgia, bro.
We have Witch Witch in Texas.
Oh, that's a down south thing.
No, we got Witch Witch in Chicago.
I haven't lived down there in a while, so sorry.
So it's everywhere except out west.
Y'all got Potbelly out there?
I think it's just a Chicago thing, maybe.
Yo, you know, every time I go somewhere and I'm like, yo, you guys got Giardiniera?
They're like, what the fuck is Giardiniera?
Do you guys know what Giardiniera is?
Is that a sexually transmitted disease?
No, it's like a bunch of like spicy peppers and oil.
Anytime you're in Chicago and ask for Giardiniera on the side, you won't regret it.
You'll have to be taking a job.
Oh, well, you didn't say it was a condiment.
You just said it was like a store, a restaurant, yeah.
I'll have to try that, yeah.
Hey, yo, guys, I got a match on Hinge.
You're going to pin up your Hinge Match's screenshot of her profile up top?
Especially not on a recorded space.
What if we actually become a thing?
That could be the level of your match, bro.
We could be looking out for you, bro.
You should tweet it out, and then I'll do the at remind me of this in like, you know, 24 months.
What's better, Tinder or Hinge?
Like, honestly, after trying both apps, because I decided to get back in the game probably within the last, like, three, four weeks.
So, after trying both apps, it's like, I don't know what it is.
I don't know what's in the water over there at the Hinge, bro.
But they're on a different echelon.
They're on a different tier than these.
They got all their teeth.
Did he just say the skin is clearer?
Oh, it's clear or clearer.
Their credit scores are higher.
You know, they have the credit score on Hinge now.
You don't, like, verify it?
His credit score was out.
Somebody needs to make that right now.
Yo, credit scores on a dating app will be wild.
They do already have that on those, the one for wealth, like, where the men are super.
Yeah, they already have that.
You have to have, like, a background check at an interview.
But they have, like, their credit scores.
How much they make every year, and it's all been verified.
Is that your annual wage, sounds, or is that your credit score?
Nah, it's my friend's credit score.
He's a little shy next to me.
He doesn't get on spaces.
Yo, that's, for your friend's score is, like, it's okay.
Yeah, that's, like, the yellow, isn't it?
Ideally, you want to be anything around, like, or above, like, a 630, I guess.
Probably, like, 650 and above.
Like, what does my friend need to just walk in the bank and just get a house?
Just, like, the same day.
You just got to go to the right bank.
Or if you've, as long as you've put it in your account, like, taken the cash out to an actual
You have to print out each NFT, though, too, when you bring it with your application.
Because then they can judge you.
Actually, what you guys did was just give me financial advice, and guess what?
Oh, man, Swan, thanks for dialing into the show.
We see that you came up here right when Tinder and Hinge were mentioned.
So, what are your thoughts?
Man's jumped out the bed like Khaled jumping up with a cocktail in his ham.
We need that cartoon sound.
Dave, welcome to the show.
Is this now Slime Sunday?
Because if so, we're going to get, like, another, like, 5,000 people in here.
Sounds fucking hilarious right now.
Dude, you're on a roll, man.
When do you learn how to get so funny?
Ladies and gentlemen, we're here today.
To find out, is Swan's Jokes Funny?
I think it's an R. Swan's Jokes Funny.
Swan is also, that's just the first count, Swan.
The second count is, um, exposing.
Exposing the community to, um, particular individuals.
That's the, that's the official charge.
Is, um, engagement farming at the, um, dismay of an unfit individual.
So, that'll be the second count.
Third count is just being sexy, man.
You know, that third count, man.
That's what I meant, guys.
Yeah, back to Tinder and Hinge, man.
Which one's a better platform?
You need another opinion.
Yeah, CEO about to get divorced.
Damn, that sound like a new car, bro.
No, it's not a new car, no.
No, you're not in the go-kart today?
I'm not in the go-kart today.
You want to know what I'm on today?
I'm going to a art exhibit that is all about swans.
It's this dude who fucking drew.
You're like, bro, it's like low-key dank as fuck.
Like, he's like got some really solid swans that he's drawn.
Like, this dude's whole exhibit is just about swans.
And so I'm sending it up there by myself.
I'm going to go fucking look at this dude's swans.
And I'm wearing a swan t-shirt and I'm lit, bro.
I'm going to just have some random person there flick me up, you know?
When are you going to get the swan tattoo?
So you're not in the candy yellow Tesla that you let me borrow the other day.
Yeah, I think you're taking it a little too far, swan.
Swan, this is your intervention.
My man's at a convention about swans.
He's going to have a sleeve.
Don't get a swan sleeve on your legs, bro.
I think I got the bird flu because I was FaceTiming with CEO Papa yesterday.
And I saw a swan and we had to look at it.
I think I got the flu, man.
Were you really FaceTiming him?
It's kind of weird, but okay.
He got some shipments in, so I was just checking out the shipments.
I'm convinced CEO's running some hidden operation, bro.
He was like, yo, yesterday, I got a fucking...
I got a Bluetooth satellite.
Yo, he showed me the shop yesterday, man.
The whole warehouse and everything, man.
Like, he showed me, like, the stuff coming off the truck.
And then I went into this room.
And then he had, like, a couple tables with people lined up on both sides.
Like, kind of taking apart the electronics.
And for some reason, all the people were naked.
Like, I guess so they don't steal the electronics that are inside.
But, man, it was like a whole little thing.
You know he has to be careful.
He found that dude that stole his shit.
I think that's why he got them working naked, man.
So they don't steal the motherboards.
Wait, CEO Papa's people work naked?
We got him in the back room working naked.
Yo, Papa, why don't you charge an hour, bro?
Nah, we got to get Tonio in there, man.
Tonio went from ashy to khakis real quick, man.
He's corporate as hell right now.
Yo, that one right there, you could tell Tonio didn't work on that one because it's flying.
Tonio said, I work on helicopters, but don't worry.
I don't work on the person we can fly.
You just want us not to worry.
I think after Tonio made me buy some NFT project, bro, I forgot what it was.
I swear to God I bought the top on that shit, bro.
After that, bro, I was like, I'm good.
Can't trust anything Tonio say, bro.
I believe everything he says.
Did he have a space this week?
Remember our remix with the Craig David, The Seven Days?
Tonio got a show on Monday.
So, we should be making love on Wednesday right now, according to Craig David, but nah.
We don't need Craig David, bro.
Could still make that happen.
Tonio doing us dirty, man.
Nah, he doesn't care, bro.
He doesn't care about my well-being.
Lower the volume a little bit.
I ain't got the sounds like you, man.
Nah, that shit sound good.
You got the volume on a thousand.
Nah, you just got the volume on.
You gotta get to the go part, though.
Let me just randomly put this on here.
A beautiful honey with a beautiful body.
Oh, why did you see the business talking about it?
You got the low budget, bro?
Tony, I got a space on Tuesday.
Tony, I got a space on Wednesday.
And on Thursday and Friday and Saturday, Tony, I got a space.
Tony, I got a space on Monday.
Tony, I got a space on Tuesday.
Tony, I got a space on Wednesday.
And now he makes helicopters.
You got a fucking lyrical, man.
Listen, I'm out here, kid.
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da.
We missed the spaces, Tony.
Hopefully, you'll be back.
Damn, what's Captain, bro?
I think Captain blocked me.
He had to after all my corny jokes about him.
We got Bird Dog in the building?
Yeah, people are tweeting out.
Come listen to this train wreck.
That's pretty much how it goes after the first hour.
What we got, though, man?
I need to hear something funny, man.
Oh, you're going to the swan convention.
I really hope this swan thing is it, bro.
Would you get it tatted on you or what?
I got a lot of crap, man.
Yeah, I ain't got a lot of crap.
Yo, I need to clip some shit, man.
I got to go back to some spaces and clip some stuff.
I don't show it all the time, but deep down inside, like, I slap shit out of all y'all.
But now you want to know what the alpha is?
You got a swan t-shirt on?
How you just say something and just run away?
You got a swan t-shirt on?
The alpha is don't follow anything on TikTok, bro.
If you want to lose as much brain cells as possible.
Okay, what else we got, bro?
I downloaded this recently.
It's kind of cool, right?
After, like, I play a song or some shit.
Or after somebody says, like, somewhat hard R.
Nah, that space with swan had me crying, though, bro.
I think Blondie said, like, the most heartfelt, like, she's like, you know, she's like, just broke it down.
And son just came back with the funniest comeback ever.
It wasn't funny, though, but that was a very trolling conversation, man.
That doesn't entertain me at all.
And, yeah, that's not cool, man.
Nah, that shit had me crying, bro.
Yeah, I guess we got to just realize.
If I'm a moderator in room, I got to be able to, you know.
I don't think I did that great, but.
Nah, you was pretty terrible, bro.
There's definitely places that I couldn't improve, bro.
I'm just sitting down, like, yo, why is this 20-year-old, like, the judge of this?
Yeah, why are you the judge of this mature, life-changing conversation, bro?
I stood my ground, though, dog.
Yo, I just got to fucking let people speak.
If you can't let people speak, then that's, then.
It's just all about that.
Yo, nah, the funniest part, the best part to me was when Sandy pulled up.
And she was like, yo, you know what?
That's like, you can't say the fucking F-word.
Yo, I was like, all right, I'm sorry, Blondie.
That wasn't the best part, but I appreciate it.
Yeah, we love you, Sandy.
I thought it was awesome.
Because she said, you can't fucking say the F-word.
And I was like, wait, what?
What F-word are you talking about?
But I knew what F-word is.
That was good practice, though.
You got to be a judge when you grow up?
Unlikely, with a background check, the salon to be a judge.
You trying to sell some shit on there, Papa?
I just want to tell you that.
If you own one, they suck.
Hey, yo, Papa, what drugs should I buy?
For the salon convention?
What kind of music do you listen to?
Word around town has it, but you're trapping out the back door.
Hey, Swann, you're going to have to break it down in Papa language.
Papa, you didn't hear what I said when you FaceTimed me?
You didn't hear what I said when you FaceTimed me and you were walking me around the shop?
Nothing comes in my back door.
He can't hear you now, Dave.
Hey, go down and come back up, fucker.
Get him the fuck out of here.
Papa, get the fuck out of here, pal.
It's literally two clicks.
I want to talk to him, too.
I'm on my second phone, so maybe I need to do an update.
Maybe that's why he couldn't hear me.
But he couldn't hear sounds, so maybe he needs to update his.
No, there's a new update, but I couldn't hear Saints earlier when he was on stage.
But I turn on the captions, so I know when that's happening.
Do you read the captions with your reading glasses?
Well, you should probably go get steady.
Does that mean you see things upside down or what?
Yeah, like a fish eye lens.
I was just transported to us sitting around a campfire at night, listening to the crickets
Well, we no took shrooms before the show started.
You told us, like Uber Eats or like the regular Uber?
I hate Uber Eats so much.
It's like you have to, first of all, go to the restaurant.
Maybe eat the fries and shit, huh?
You have to go to the restaurant, pick up the food, go to somebody's house, try to find
parking, go to someone's house, front door, drop it off at a front, like it's so much
Just get in, get in my car, get out my car.
I don't have to go anywhere.
I don't have to do anything.
And the pay is so much better.
Anyway, so I ran, I ran my car into a power line like earlier this week or last week.
And so my car, I've been out of a car, so I haven't been able to get my, my, my weed
So I'm actually really, really dry right now.
And I haven't actually tried shrimp.
So I really want to try shrimp this year.
Well, first off, circle square, dancing triangle.
We're happy that you're, you're okay.
Um, you know, car situation will be taken care of.
You got to tell them why you got in the accident.
Nah, we ain't, we ain't doing that deep.
This is a recorded space, but Swan.
And yes, 73% of, um, DoorDash drivers have admitted that they have taken some of the
food out of their delivery.
Bro, I used to eat the fries, dog.
That's why I steal that shit.
Yeah, they steal that shit.
What was that shit called?
I did fucking, uh, Postmates.
Yeah, bro, I was eating the fries.
Postmates get bought up by Uber.
They probably bought them up and shut them down if they're not around anymore.
It'd be like that sometimes, you know?
Sometimes I think about, I'm like, yo.
Like, sometimes you see those school shooters and stuff, and you're like, yo, that dude looks
like he works at, he worked at a Wendy's or some shit.
But nothing against the good people that do work at, you know, fast food places, because
there's a time and a place for that.
But, you know, you know what I mean?
Some of those guys just look like the guy that works at Wendy's or something like that,
I used to work at Wendy's, bro.
You definitely look like a guy that used to work at Wendy's.
I might go back, honestly.
You guys just have a look, man.
What do you mean by you guys?
What do you mean, you people?
Nah, the Chick-fil-A people, they got a certain look, too, man.
You just got, you know, you just know they work there, man.
People that work at Starbucks, they got a look, man.
You just look like you work at Starbucks, you know?
I don't show it all the time, but D-Dine inside, like, I slap shit out of all y'all.
Jordine looks like he works at a male strip club, you know?
He just has that kind of face.
I worked at a male strip club once.
No, I worked at a co-ed strip club.
Yo, did you end on a good note?
Like, did you do my reference?
Like, guys one night, girls the next night, or whatever?
They were both the same night.
I got in for free for, like, every night that I was lit.
You got in for free every night you worked?
I don't know why I said that, but yeah.
Yeah, that's what I was saying.
I think this train has come to a complete halt, hopefully.
Thank you all for coming through.
I got to see Tonio flying the helicopter.
Tonio listens to that shit, like, 14,000 times a day when he's playing Warzone.
Yeah, then he's like in five minutes, and then next one, I'll have on the next one.
Thank you all for coming today.
It sounds like some colonial stuff.
It's like a colonial hug.
Yo, Swan, you still got the Paul Revere blazer?
I just put on that shit on, dude.
You got me salute the flag.
Dude, that shit tough, huh?
You got the motherfucking bronze accents with the...
Those are the fancy buttons.
Man, that shit hard, cuz.
Wait till you see the swan shirt, bro.
Nah, this is just some shit from Amazon, low-key, but fucking it's funny, so...
You really going to a swan convention, bro?
Is it where you all dress up like swans?
Kind of like the furry convention?
It'll be crazy if they get you there, and they're like, yo, swan is here, and they, like,
nail you to, like, the wall or something.
They don't put you on exhibit.
What do you mean, like, Jesus Christ, bro?
What do you mean, nail him, bro?
Nah, they're just going to nail you to the wall.
Or it's not a fireball out of your heart.
Like, I think he doesn't...
Yo, let's get some wings tonight.
You like the flats, or you like the drums?
I'm going to stay neutral in this conversation, because I've been clown before for my choice.
Yeah, because my mom, she has to get flats, like, and they got to be crispy.
And it's a special order every place she goes.
Some places catch on, and she thinks she's the one that made it possible for everybody
else to get the flats only.
Dave, she definitely did make it possible for everybody, and telling her different would
I try not to stroke people's egos, you know, in IRL or Web3, so nah.
So, I'm going to come out of left field here and say boneless, but if I had to-
I gave you some bad advice.
But if I had to say, if I had to choose between flats or drums-
You shouldn't have brought up the boneless pizza.
That's the crap that falls off the wings at the bottom of the fryer.
But if I had to choose between drums or flats, I got to say drums, because I'm not trying
I'm not trying to struggle-
I'm not trying to struggle eating my meat.
I like them dripping off-
I like them, like, I got to, like, I got to be able to, like, eat all of it off the
We still talking about chicken?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
All right, all right, all right.
I'm going to use that sound bite later, though.
Yo, you should put that on your hinge.
Don't they do audio now on hinge?
You should put that on your-
I don't even remember what the fuck I said, bro.
You said you like them thick, juicy, and something you can bite into.
You got the juice running down your chin.
Actually, that is a power move.
Because, actually, I saw someone on hinge.
They had the most chaotic-
I don't even remember what their prompt-
So, like, the way hinge works, right?
It's like they have prompts that you set up your profile with.
Like, we'll get along if yada, yada, yada.
This year, I really want to yada, yada, yada.
And there's this one girl-
There's this one girl is, like, I'm at my strongest when I-
And the prompt ending was, like, when I kick kids while they're down.
And I passed the time, like, my favorite pastime.
And then another one was burning cigarettes on my skin.
And I was like, you know what?
I don't know why I'm attracted to this chaotic energy.
Okay, the first question answer was hilarious.
And that's obviously funny.
The second one's, like, creepy.
If they were separate answers-
And you'd be like, well, yeah, that doesn't mean anything, actually.
Honestly, Triangle, I mean, there was a point where I was in a bar,
and I pulled my pants down, and I asked the girl to, you know,
put the cigarette out on my ass cheek, so.
It's a recorded space, man.
Well, at least it wasn't only with a child in the bathroom.
You said to put it out on your-
Yes, it was in Pittsburgh, yeah.
Yo, that was one of the funniest videos, too.
Dude, you young kids make me laugh.
Us older people are like,
All right, keep going, Dave.
It seemed normal at the time.
We got a bad news segment coming up right now?
So, you know the guy from the meme,
it ain't much, but it's honest work?
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
The farmer guy, the farmer guy, it ain't much, but it's here.
No, I don't want to put it up in it, because it's going to spoil.
His name was David Brandt.
I'm going to put it in the little bubble, so you guys can see.
I mean, Tina Turner died today.
I feel like that might be a bigger, bigger set.
We did dedicate a song for her at the beginning of the space.
Well, I mean, the meme guy lived at 76,
and that would be a lot longer than I would have expected that guy to live.
Yeah, I got to ask Triangle.
Does the little Nas X PFP work for you?
Like, are you like, you know, are people like,
yo, what's good, Triangle?
Like, I'm kind of curious.
Okay, so we'll say it again.
Does it insinuate a vibe?
We're going to frame it like this.
This is not a little Nas X PFP.
This is an artist over on Avalanche,
because I play over on Avalanche instead of on ETH mostly.
And he's like, he's one of the big,
he's one of the bigger artists on Avalanche.
And he actually made me a custom one of one PFP.
So that's actually my face.
You can see him on media.
So you're a little Nas X?
I'm obviously just kidding.
Bro, I had to keep thought that was a little Nas X PFP too, man.
Yeah, no, that's just my face, man.
Lil Nas is way skinnier, like way smaller looking than that.
Like the cowboy hat would have been way bigger on the head.
What if it was a small cowboy hat?
Yeah, I'm not going to lie.
There was just like one Spanish song that Lil Nas put out.
That shit kind of slapped.
Bro, Britney Spears puts out bangers.
She was the first singer.
She put out a banger last.
Dang, I just said go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go.
Hey, hey, guys, be quiet.
We got a special guest in the building.
So for you guys that don't know, this is Chef Robert Irvine.
He is my biggest, biggest fan.
No, but this guy right here, I mean, he's a philanthropist.
He has the Robert Irvine Foundation, which gives back to our military and first responders
The guy owns over 20 businesses with over like 5,000 employees.
I'm one of those employees.
But yeah, thanks for coming through, man.
I know you're like on the run.
I don't think you're an employee.
That's what it feels like sometimes, and I appreciate that.
That's your world I'm living.
So quick question, Robert.
For a 27-year-old, what advice do you have for a 27-year-old that feels like a loser?
Dude, first of all, what's your first name?
William, you're not a loser, number one.
God put you on this planet to do some good for somebody else.
There's a couple losers in the space, though.
I like to make art and make music, man.
Then follow your dream, dude.
When I finished the military, I came out.
I didn't know what to do.
I played football or soccer, as you call it.
I was no good at either of them.
I was a special forces guy in the military, shooting things and blowing things up.
And I went back to food because I enjoyed it.
I just wasn't very good at it.
And as you keep going back and back and back and doing more and more and more and you get into it, you become better at it.
And you surround yourself with people that are better than you.
And you get to, if you write music, then find somebody that's better than you and go and study with them and say, hey, can you take me under your wing?
They won't pay you, but they'll take you under the wing and you do the shittiest jobs, whatever.
But you'll learn and see what they do in the process of doing those shitty jobs.
And I've done it all my career.
I'm still doing it now at 57 years old.
I really needed that on a Wednesday evening.
Hey, there's always somebody else.
Look, guys, there's always somebody else worse off than us, even though we think it sucks.
And believe me, some days, it doesn't matter whether you have a million bucks or you have a dollar or you've got the best job in the world.
So you just got to get through them.
Thanks for the question, Will.
I got to know, who's the most influential person you've met in your life and why?
There's been lots of, I can tell you from a dishwasher named Ruben Espinal, who had so much tenacity.
He's now an executive chef.
But I gave him his first job and he taught me patience and to listen.
So I would say he had one of my biggest impacts.
So one of my closest friends today came from the Dominican Republic with nothing, couldn't even speak English.
I'd been to a pub and I was the executive chef of a Trump Taj Mahal.
I'd been to a pub with a bunch of guys.
He was sitting outside not having a meal.
For whatever reason, I put him in my car, took him to a cafe or a diner.
I fed him, put him into a hotel room for a week, said, if you need a job, come to me.
He came to me the next day.
And now that guy, 20 years later, is an executive chef, two cars, a house, a couple of kids and doing what I did.
So I think inspiration wise, you know, I don't think there's anybody that gives me more inspiration or has in recent than he has 20 years ago.
And I think inspiration comes from, it can be reading a book, reading a magazine, meeting somebody on the street, a dishwasher, a street sweeper.
It depends how open you are to listen to other people's ideas, right?
And I think that's a huge thing.
And I was never good at that until I met this guy.
And, hey, talking about books, I got to plug your book since I'm in the book, too.
I'm Overcoming Impossible.
It's on your bookshelves right now.
So please go out and pick that up because, I mean, Robert, I don't know if you want to talk about that a little bit, but it's a different kind of book.
It's not just your, you know, do this, do this, do that for a success.
You really just get into the other side of it that a lot of entrepreneurs don't talk about.
I meet great people like Dave and a lot of other people.
And, yeah, we have over 5,000 employees.
But I started off in the Navy with no money, no nothing.
I would borrow 500 pounds a month from my mother and spend that in drink and, you know, clubs in the first week of the month.
So, you know, as time goes on, you learn from people I just talked about, like Ruben and other folks.
I wrote this book, Overcoming Impossible, because I never had anybody mentor me or tell me how to do things.
It's just kind of do it, mess it up, or make it work, one or the other, right?
There's four principles of being successful in any business or in life.
Number one is empathetic leadership.
You know, who you're working with?
Do you care about the people?
You know, do you know that Johnny's son has autism or Missy's son is down or her mother's got cancer?
You know, the people that work with you, do you really know them?
Because if you really know them and you take care of them, they'll stay with you forever.
Number two on that scale is egotistic.
Yours, in other words, mine and the people that we're dealing with.
Number four is authenticity.
And if you want to be a musician, you want to be a painter, you want to be a truck driver, you want to be.
As long as you love what you want, I don't give a shit what anybody says about me because I'm happy, right?
If you worry about what the world tells you, you will never get anything done.
And I think I wrote this book for all them people that feel like losers sometimes.
And by the way, we all feel like that, including me.
So the book I wrote because we do one episode of Week of Restaurant Impossible, yet we get 2,000 applications a week.
And I can't help everybody, although I try to.
But it's only so many hours in the day.
It's almost like a blueprint of not stepping on minds and going out and reading and see where failures happen because they don't do certain things.
Matt Tothill can take all the credit, not me.
I just spoke to him, as a lot of other people did, yourself included, Dave.
But it really is about how do you become successful in life in general.
We're not all going to be Jeff Bezos.
We're not all going to be movie stars.
So we've got to do the best we can do with what we have.
That's why I wrote the book.
I'd like to go over to Jordine.
Retweet and like the space if you're in here right now.
This is a crazy opportunity right here.
Retweet and like the space.
Some people see like we got we got Chef Robert Irving up here spitting facts, you know, so show some love.
No, I was just going to ask being in the DMV.
I was curious what brought you to D.C. today.
So I'm in D.C. because I have a lot.
So today or tomorrow, I should say, I feed 8,000 people at Fort Belvoir, all the injured and so as men and women are first responders.
Gary Sinise will play in the band.
Then on Friday, I'm at the Pentagon, have a dinner with the chief of the Air Force.
Then on Saturday, I feed a thousand Gold Star families at the Marriott Hotel in D.C.
Sunday, I host with PBS, with Gary Sinise.
And then on Monday, I host a Memorial Day parade for ABC in D.C.
Monday night, go home, Tuesday, fly to Scotland with a hundred wounded warriors.
And we march 56 miles with 900 coalition wounded in 24 hours.
And then we jump on a plane, come back, get back to work.
Yeah, this guy, he he's on the road and in the air.
I want to say what, like 300, 300 and some days a year.
Yeah, I'm still trying to get the house keys, Robert.
So so what else is somebody doing on here?
What else is other people doing?
You got a rugger in your space, Dave.
Hey, let's not address that right now.
Well, we talk NFTs, you know.
You know, I did some stuff last year.
Raising money for like No Kid Hungry and things like that.
So majority of these people in here, they buy, sell, trade, create NFTs.
Hey, some people go to Kroger and take pictures of protein bars for certain friends.
My name was Blondie, but yeah, I think that's, I don't need Dave.
We spoke on FaceTime when you were in Miami.
You can take as many pictures as you want because the more pictures you take and post,
the more money we can give away.
Dave gets lots of them of your protein bars.
So, and I think it's amazing what you do.
And I'll turn it back to you, Dave.
I just wasn't going to let anybody trample on an amazing moment.
I know you want to ask Robert if he'll follow you.
It's all I can do not to because I don't think I can follow him.
But he's like the only one.
Twitter, the only place I've been on Twitter.
Okay, I'll follow you on Twitter.
You're going to get a bunch of NFT.
When I get off, I'll follow you.
My life is complete today.
I wasn't going to tell him.
NFT Sounds, I think you were up next.
Oh, you guys know each other.
We met at the New York Wine Food Festival last October.
And I was actually the guy that won the prize doing the push-ups on stage.
That was a wonderful night, man.
That was a lot of fun, right?
You'll have one this year, hopefully, right?
Yeah, we'll do it again this year.
Yeah, I'll be there, definitely.
And shout out to Dave for that.
He actually gave me the ticket to enjoy that.
So, appreciate you, Dave.
That was a lot of fun, dude.
That was a lot of fun, dude.
So many great cuts of steak.
What else is there in life?
That's all you need in life.
So, the name of our episode tonight is Let Them Cook.
So, I had a question, man.
If you had one meal that represents you as a person that you had to cook forever, what would it be?
Mine's kind of different, but I'll tell you.
So, for me, it's any meal that I cook for anybody in a uniform, be it a first responder or man and woman who wear the class of our nation.
But I would say it would be roast chicken, mashed potatoes, some kind of sauce and veg, you know, asparagus, broccoli, whatever.
My kids grew up on that, and I grew up on that when my parents, because my parents were very poor.
So, I grew up in two slices of bread, butter, and sugar was a nightly meal for me for five nights a week.
And then one night, we would either have fish or a chicken with some kind of potato.
You know, we're all kind of products of our parents.
And I think that one, for me, is that sticks.
That would be my last electric chair meal.
I appreciate that answer.
We'll go over to Quarter Milk.
It's awesome to e-meet you.
I had a question about the food industry, if you don't mind.
So, it's amazing what you do with helping everybody.
So, what do you think about kind of what's happening in the food industry?
You have three stars, like Noma, who's closed.
They can't afford to really pay people livable wages.
Is it still something that, you know, you've loved as much as when you started?
I know these aren't your restaurants I'm talking about.
But, like, what do you think of kind of the change that's happening in the industry right now?
I think it's really interesting, and it's a great question.
I was just at the National Restaurant Association yesterday in Chicago.
The problem we have is not only – so, traditionally, the restaurant industry,
the hospitality industry, has used low-income labor, right,
whether it would be legal or not legal.
That's just the way it has been for years.
And now, with inflation, the national wage, which is in most places –
I mean, I tell you, I pay a cook $27 in Vegas because they're a union.
I have no problem doing that, by the way, as long as they can cook.
Most of the restaurants through COVID, we lost 54% of restaurants in the United States in COVID.
And now, the inflation and the salaries, small business cannot afford it.
It literally cannot afford it.
And let alone, you know, three-star mission restaurants or two-star or one-star,
just mom and pop in general.
And I think something needs to be done about it quick because America was built on small business, right?
That's – everybody's dream is to have their own business.
And yet, the way – look, and I'm not looking at one government or another.
I'm just being real with you.
The way we are right now, it's not possible to pay somebody a living wage.
And if I give you a real – I'll give you a real statistic.
If you join the military now, one in four of our military that are active duty are food insecure
because we're not paying them what we need to pay them to do the job that we're asking them to do.
And that's the same in the civilian world.
We're not paying enough money for people to live because inflation keeps going through the roof.
So even if I pay you $27 an hour, it's like it was 10 years ago at $7 an hour.
So I think we're going to see a lot more restaurants close, a lot more – bigger chains thrive
because they'll just eat up to small restaurants.
And the way in which we solve the problem – and it sounds really funny, but when I say this,
and by all means fire back at me, anybody at this, but technology is going to help save our business.
So instead of having – you see the self-ordering kiosk, right, where you can order your food and it comes quickly.
Instead of paying a host $12 to chew gum and play on a phone, I can now take that $12 times eight hours
and distribute that between the people that are redeployed in the kitchen or redeployed in the service area
to be able to make more money.
So I think at some point technology is going to help that, you know, what I'm seeing anyway.
I'm seeing it in my own restaurants.
But if you look at McDonald's, McDonald's now has robots that flip hamburgers, that make french fries.
Chipotle does the same thing.
A machine never calls out, never calls out sick.
And I think one of the problems we have is somebody can make more money sitting at home
than they can working eight hours in a restaurant.
And, Robert, you tapped into some of that technology recently with Grubber.
You're part owner of that company, I believe, right?
Yeah, I think it's – you know, it's not – people say, oh, it's getting rid of people.
What it's doing is redeploying the labor and paying more money for that labor
to be redeployed in the back, the front, or the middle, or wherever it is
instead of paying somebody to take an order that 90% of it's wrong
when you put it in on a computer that's there and it gives you a picture
and it prompts you to – it's twice as fast to get the food and it's always consistent.
So, you know, there's no mistakes.
So, yes, I tapped into that.
But I keep employing people.
So, if you think that we're losing people – I mean, I've gone from zero employees to 5,261
and I'm buying companies.
So, I'm buying people, you know, and that sounds terrible when I say that,
but employing people is a better word and paying them good salary jobs
to be able to do their job and go home and take care of their families.
Yeah, that's great stuff.
I hope that answered the question.
You know, I live in Los Angeles, and even this past weekend I volunteered at No Ask Without You,
which helps back-of-house families be able to feed their families.
Back-of-house workers are able to feed their families.
You know, just this industry is changing, and it's – my husband's executive chef.
I've, you know, flown all over the world for food,
and it's just really interesting what's happening right now, and it's at a rapid pace.
And he will probably know this.
So I'm developing right now for the military, a kitchen of the future,
which is prepared food that's almost finished, that gets finished by people in the kitchen,
and you wouldn't know if it's a three-star mission or, you know, just because of the labor shortage.
So – and I think he is – you can ask him the same question.
I'm sure he's seeing the talent pool shrink tremendously.
Yeah, it seems just a discrepancy, a discrepancy between people, the super-rich, right,
still going to three stars, but three stars can't even afford it.
And then, you know, we just need more, I think, for the average person.
You know, and, you know, so it's – I'm excited for the change, to be honest.
I think it's going to be – once it settles down – and you're right, look,
I just went next door to the hotel where I am,
and I ate a half rack of ribs, coleslaw and french fries, and with my team of chefs,
three chefs here, and it was 200 bucks.
And four glasses of water.
I nearly had a conniption, but anyway.
Well, we're going to go over to Sean first.
Sean was in here, I think.
He had his hand up first, so hold on, Swan.
I know I called on Swan, but I changed my mind.
I just wanted to, first of all, thank you for all you do
and your inspiration that you provide for lots and lots of people
and a lot of stuff that you do that people don't know about.
So thank you so much for that.
And also, it reminded me of the old saying when, you know,
the saying that common sense is surprisingly uncommon these days
and you provide loads and loads of common sense and great advice to many, many people.
Just a quick story for you as well.
You mentioned your Irish dad.
My late father's parents were both Irish.
And the story about the bread and the sugar, it reminded me of what my dad used to say to me.
And funny story, my mum used to always get on to my dad for eating fast.
He says, if I didn't eat so fast, some bugger would pinch it off me.
Yeah, that's exactly where I grew up.
That's exactly where I grew up.
It's an absolute honour to speak to you, Robert.
And as I say, keep up the magnificent work, mate,
because, you know, we need more blokes like you.
We need more people like you in this day and age.
And we're all trying to do the same thing.
Everybody on this call, we're all trying to do the same thing for some way, shape or form.
And all I ever say is, look, we can always do a little bit more.
And collectively, if we do more, like Dave and you guys, the more we can do together,
the easier it becomes, the lighter the burden becomes.
It's not a one-man job, that's for sure.
And also, as well, I mean, I'd like to keep it to basic, you know.
If you can be kind to someone, be kind.
If you can reach out and help someone, reach out.
And it's as simple as that, right?
I wish it was, my friend, because too many people judge.
That's the problem with this country and the world, not just this country.
Well, I'm in Australia at the moment, originally from the UK, from Leeds.
But Leeds, oh my God, dude.
I used to do a bike ride through there for charity every year.
Well, there's been a big fundraiser with Kevin Sinfield and Rob Burrow.
I don't know if you're aware of that one.
Ex-Rugby League players with Rob Burrow's got MND.
And, you know, they're doing amazing work.
And, yeah, I must quantify that, though, Robert.
I'm from South Leeds, you know, where even the buses go around in threes around there.
Yeah, I'm going to say, even the dogs walk around in twos.
Absolute honor to speak to you, mate.
Swan, you're up next, buddy.
No, it's just some great conversation.
So I was fine to wait, bro.
I love listening to that.
I got a way more simpler question, though.
I'm just curious, what is your favorite country to eat in, you know?
Like, where's – what has the best eats?
Jeez, Greece, Italy, Egypt, Germany.
I mean, I just – I was in Poland two weeks ago and then Ukraine,
setting up some base feeding for our military.
Even Ukrainian food, we had two bases and it's all local there.
There's just some amazing people doing some amazing work for –
around the world with food.
I was in Munich a couple of months before that.
I'd be in Scotland next week, followed by Gitmo,
Gritanemo Bay a week after that, then back to Germany,
feeding 3,000, then to Jordan.
I travel a lot, but food for me is like – if we could –
here's a thought process.
Just like entities, if we could put every head of state around a big table,
take their national dish, take one bite and pass it to the right
until everybody understood the food and the culture of these countries,
we wouldn't have half the problems that we have.
And I think food is such a great equalizer.
So, no matter how much money you have, you've got to be fed.
No matter how much – how many houses, you've got to be fed.
And I think food is a great way to open tough conversations,
no matter where you live, you know.
So, all great countries with food.
I just kind of want to follow that up really quickly.
Are you able to keep a consistent sleep schedule with all this traveling?
Or how do you maintain your sleep and, like, keep that body?
My sleep is about three hours a night.
This guy, he's like a shark, man.
Swan about to switch up and do tea.
Swan would have to sign up a lot of things to just –
Well, Robert, we respect your time, so we're going to go to CEO Papa.
I mean, you can still hang out.
I have a couple questions for you too, but, you know, we'll see.
Well, you've got to ask him quick because I've got to shoot off
because I'm getting ready for this thing in the morning.
Hey, CEO Papa, we're going to hold off on you real quick
because I want to get Randy in here from Pittsburgh.
Give him a chance to say hi to Robert and ask any questions or comments.
Hey, how you doing, Chef?
We met in Chandler at the Chuck Wagon cook-off several years ago.
That was an amazing time.
We had a really good time.
You were so kind and so genuine.
And then I also sent you a copy of my book,
and you were kind enough to take a picture of it with me –
with it and sent it to me.
And, you know, I'm retired now.
But I want to get your opinion on this because I think COVID, as horrific as it was,
it exposed a lot of bad restaurant owners that really weren't in it – their heart wasn't in it.
They were in it for the bottom line.
And I think I ran a lot of those people off.
And the ones that genuinely are – that have survived and are genuinely restaurant people
and want to serve people, they're the ones that are trying to put it all back together now.
Is that how you would see it, too?
I slightly disagree with that, Randy.
I think you're right to a point, yes.
But I think here's – look, everybody thinks the restaurant business is an easy business, right?
So your mom tells you you make good meatballs, you should have a restaurant.
The family gives you some money.
You take your credit cards.
Three months later, you invite all your friends in.
They're drinking, they're eating, and then four months later, you call somebody like me or you to fix it, right?
I think people thought the restaurant business was easy.
Then COVID really showed you it wasn't easy and took all those restaurants that were good, bad, and in a different way.
And those that were smart and had money saved and could adapt quickly survived.
And they're the ones that are fighting the inflation, the cost of goods, the cost of labor, and trying to keep it all above water right now.
So I agree with you slightly, but there's some people that did try that just didn't have the backup, the funds, the support, and all the rest of it to go along with it.
So, you know, I think we're still going to see a lot of that this year, the rest of this year with inflation, the debt ceiling right now, all those things that we don't want to go into.
But we'll see what happens with that.
All I can tell you is the strong survive and the adaptability of people who are good at it survive.
Yeah, you're absolutely right.
I mean, the restaurant business is crisis management all day long.
The other thing I wanted to say, Chef, if I could ask you on this, do you think, not a lot,
but there are some establishments that are raising prices on their food items and using COVID as an excuse and the economy as an excuse.
I'm not saying it's not real for a lot of people, but I know from personal experience.
There are a lot of people taking advantage, for sure.
Yes, that's what I wanted.
That's what I wanted to see.
And here's what's going to happen.
You'll start to see those people see through that.
Look, I've got a restaurant in Vegas.
I've got a restaurant in the Pentagon here in D.C.
We have not raised prices.
You know, portions are still the same.
You know, at some point, you can't, even though a case of eggs is, you know, what was $40, $160 right now,
you've still got to serve eggs with breakfast.
That's the main course, right?
So, you know, you've just got to be smart the way in which you do it.
But I have not, a lot of people tend to get cheaper meats and cheaper whatever.
Look, if we go out, we go out on top, and that's it.
The thing I always tell people in the industry, if I talk with them, is people understand if you have to raise your prices.
What they don't want you to do is raise your prices, use a cheaper grade of meat, and your customer service.
Yeah, they don't want to be gouged.
Yeah, your portion sizes.
I've seen people, they raise the price, their portions get smaller, and the quality of their food is lessened.
And you're right, it exposes them, and they're not going to last.
We just want to be treated like good human beings.
Tip what we're supposed to tip for good service.
Look, if it's not good service, don't tip.
Sorry, I'm not just because you want to say something bad.
If you didn't get good service, don't tip them what you would normally tip a good server, right?
Hey, Chef, I loved your book.
Thank you for your support.
And I appreciate, I'm a veteran.
I appreciate everything you do for the veterans and for the first responders.
Everybody on here, thank you so much.
Um, hopefully we get to do this again.
This is kind of a cool format.
Dave, I like this format a lot.
Um, but I got to work a little bit.
Yeah, appreciate you coming through.
And, um, yeah, we're going to pin to the top in a few minutes, the robertirvinefoundation.org.
Um, and I'll, I'll talk a little bit about that too.
I'll tell you guys, stuff gets random on this show.
Yo, Dave, I can ask you this question.
Oh, man, we got to go into that.
That's all I was going to, I was going to ask him how much he can curl because I looked
at his picture and the dude definitely has got, you know, he's, he's hitting the gym.
Uh, that was my one question.
The next question really was, how did you guys meet?
Did you not hear about the co-edged strip club?
I feel like that was on the phone.
Hold on, hold on real quick.
We'll go with, um, we'll go with the gym question first.
So, you know, it's, it's one of those things where with Robert, it's not about lifting heavy.
It's really about that resistance.
So using smarter weight, um, and, and getting that resistance.
So like I've worked out with him and, you know, he's like, oh, just grab like those twenties
He likes those negatives.
The negatives and everything.
Oh my, like you're just hurting for days.
So yeah, he's not, he's, I mean, he can push some good weight, but he doesn't really,
And how we met, um, I was in the protein bar industry, you know, creating packaging
and things like that at a manufacturing plant for, um, a lot of other protein bar brands.
And, um, it was one of those things where he had one of his live shows that was near
Pittsburgh and, um, we saw that he was going to be there.
So we were like, man, it would be so cool if we came out of the bar because we felt like
we had the best tasting bars and then chef, you know, Robert Irvine.
And the whole fitness thing, as you just mentioned, it just makes sense.
You know, it's like most chefs are like overweight or, you know, but they deliver on the great
So yeah, we, we pretty much pitched them, um, met him out there and he was like, I was
honestly looking for a protein bar too, because I wanted to make one.
Cause I'm always on the go.
Like you said, 300 and you know, 45 days a year, he's, he's not even home.
So yeah, it came out of that, man.
It was just probably the best pitch deck that I ever put together.
Wait, you made a protein bar?
It's, um, something that we started around 10 years ago, man.
But, um, you can get it everywhere.
Costco, Target, Walmart, Amazon.
Wait, who just asked about a protein bar?
Um, circle, dancing, triangle, square.
I started to say, if anybody in our small group that's around all the time, just asked
about your protein bar, I'm going to have to personally hunt them down and beat their
But no, him and I, we just, we just met today on Spawny's show and we just followed each
I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to be like, I'm going to get a witness
So you, you saw he was coming to the area and decided that you were going to utilize that
opportunity to, to go pitch something that you, you've been learning about, uh, you have
background in and you just saw like, man, this would really make sense.
And you just went, went for it.
And now 10 years later, here we are.
He's made more than sense.
It's been a little bit more than sense.
Like maybe like probably in the next, probably in the next, um, two years, we'll probably hit
shipping a billion protein bars.
Yeah, it was a good, good decision.
People, anybody listening, that's got a dream.
That's an industry that's working for somebody else.
Just listen to what you're hearing today and figure out like, you're always like, like,
you know, like he was talking about, he was inspired by all these people around him.
Uh, people that he even said the most inspirational person that he knew was somebody he had hired
who literally came from nothing, uh, guys, like stories like Dave or what makes me happy.
It makes me do what I do.
I just, I love hearing stories like this.
I mean, it's just really cool.
You got a chance to hear somebody very influential speak.
I just, Hey, Dave, kudos to you, man, uh, going out and getting it and just getting where
And I've seen what you've done in our little community, nonstop, always giving back, always
showing up, uh, always trying to guide people and help them see a different point of view
And just, you know, we see what you put out.
I see the effort, the details, uh, it shows.
So I just wanted to give you, uh, some kudos, man.
And shout out to your co-host, best co-host I've ever seen in a game.
Um, Papa, I'm, I'm usually not right, but you know, you only got to be right a few times
But, um, yeah, I got a pin up here, the Robert Irvine foundation.
That's, that's another big thing.
Um, you know, a portion of proceeds from the protein bars, all the other products he has,
you know, wine and spirits line.
Um, you know, there's portions from all those different companies at different levels, but
it all goes back to, um, supporting the military members and their families and first responders.
And that's the thing, like I, I've had like crying conversations with him just like, dude,
the impact of, of doing those kinds of things, you know, just selling protein bars and knowing
that, um, on the other side of it, you know, he's going overseas to, to help feed troops.
You know, like he said, um, tomorrow they're going to be feeding like over 5,000 people in
DC, uh, military members.
So little things like that, you know, are pretty, pretty impactful.
Uh, when I think about it, um, with just what I do on like a daily basis, lady Viz, what's
Um, thank you for being like a breath of fresh air on the fricking timeline today.
I'm so happy to be in a room where like, you guys are talking about good things.
And I, I mean, that's obviously, I mean, of course you are like the king of that.
So it doesn't surprise me.
So just, I just want to congratulate you on that because, you know, there's not enough
good and, um, you push out good all the time and like genuinely, genuinely push out good.
So I don't know if you haven't gotten enough flowers today, Dave, I'm sending you your flowers
and, um, I appreciate you.
I hate, I hate getting flowers too.
I was going to say Dave hates his flowers.
He hates getting flowers on stage.
He really needs it though.
You've been getting a cord on you.
He like seriously needs it though.
Maybe we should, um, make it a habit.
We really should make it a habit of like embarrassing Dave on stage and I don't know, just making
A quick way, a quick way to end random radio every week.
He'll start booting everyone off the stage.
That was a funny episode though.
When we just started, you know, everybody was leaving.
And, you know, I was kicking people off one at a time.
But, um, no, I appreciate you lady.
And that is one thing I try to do is not like, you know, life is not perfect.
We all go through certain things in life.
And honestly, the last few years of my life have probably been the worst years of my life.
Um, but you guys would never know that on my timeline, you know what I mean?
So got to fight your battles in certain places and just spread positive energy out there to
everyone else because it is contagious, you know, and do it the best you can.
Like Robert said, for others, that's why we're here, you know, we're, we're all on this like road trip together in the same car.
You know, some people play the music.
Some people are the comedians telling jokes and stories in the car while we're on this journey together.
Um, you know, some people bring the snacks, you know, some people, um, are the ones that are providing the food to others that, that didn't bring their food.
And, but, um, like I said, you know, it's, it's a road trip and while we're here, we should definitely not make it harder for other people when we can, you know?
Oh, he sounds, I hate you.
Cousin Phil, you snuck up here.
Dave, you are incredible and deserve the Gawk Gawk 5000 for all your efforts in the community.
Oh man, we can't even save the space anymore now.
Cousin Phil, what's going on, man?
I'll, uh, I'll save you from a moment of flowers.
You're, you're the man and you're doing well.
That's all I'll give you.
But, uh, I had a moment of just like cringing cause I didn't get up here while, while Robert was still here.
Cause I, I wanted to tap into his thoughts on like what I'm trying to eventually do.
Um, so now I'm just going to say to all you guys, which you probably kind of heard before, but like I bought the farm and a long play is like the dream is to have a farm to table dinner at the farm every week.
Um, maybe it's weekly, maybe it becomes more than that.
I kind of picture it being like, just like a farm.
Like I want to have like a sandwich stand out front cause I have like very little zoning rules where I'm at.
So I can pretty much do whatever I want.
Um, so I wanted to do like just a sandwich stand out front.
I got a high school down the street from me and then do like a formal, like, like a more sit down thing where it's a little higher end.
So I can kind of hit both ends of things where he was talking about.
There's such a separation right now where people can still pay all this money to go to nice sit downs.
But I almost now I'm getting all these amazing ideas.
So thank you guys so much for putting a discount on there for first responders, putting a discount on there for veterans.
Like you guys are just making the ideas roll.
So I'm just thankful to be here and, uh, I appreciate the space as always.
But, um, yeah, Robert, what a, what a great person to pick his brain.
It would have been great for me to just like pitch that and be like, where do you see the big problems in this idea?
Um, yeah, but yeah, one day, one day I'll get in front of him.
No, yeah, we're going to charging too little cousin Phil.
Don't charge too little and trying to find good staff is the hardest part.
You can always lower your prices, but when you raise your prices, people get super pissed off.
Pricing stuff's crazy right now.
People will pay a lot right now for everything.
I think the other big thing cousin Phil would be probably your traffic.
I don't know if you're like, you know, close to the city or not, you know, so that's one thing to consider too.
So then if you're not close to the city and, you know, you're doing some of that Airbnb or air food and food kind of thing, then you're kind of getting people out there, um, to where you're at.
So I think you can't hear Dave.
If you can hear me, you Dave, ask him to maybe step down and come back up.
So you can jump down and come right back up if you can't hear Dave, um, dancing emoji.
Uh, cousin Phil, man, cousin Phil, um, dude, when I came up with the name for this, I wasn't even thinking about Robert.
And then I just shot him a text was like, Hey, if you want to jump in here.
So we'll definitely have like a planned one where we, um, kind of promote it and, um, you know, get people up on stage to ask, ask some good questions.
But yeah, man, I'm excited for what you're doing there.
And cause, uh, it's amazing.
You said it cause the Airbnb thing has definitely been a forefront of the idea.
When we originally bought the farm, we thought it was going to be like a first year.
We're going to crack this out.
And then we were like, you know what, uh, you have to figure out what a farm does, how water shifts, where you could actually put sites and stuff like that before you just go building stuff.
Um, and then on top of that, we found like kind of a more economical way to do it and actually have a couple RV sites where people just pull in, pull out, they do their thing.
They have a electric water hookup and you can make good money off of that and then offer kind of like the dinner thing and, and stuff like that as well.
So yeah, I mean, you've, you've hit it on the head with where we're going.
Um, and we have like a bunch of lake house towns right around here.
So I feel like summer would be popping.
The biggest obstacle would be winter.
Um, and that would be kind of when I just like kind of go and take other work as well.
Um, which is nice cause you're, you know, you're around a lot of farms.
There's a lot of, there's good help around here.
There's people that know how to work hard, um, in farm towns.
It's pretty cool that you guys are vibing on it.
I got to cut you off, man.
Winter, you got to take a, you know, you got to take, um, advantage of winter too, man.
Because if you have a great landscape or a great, like look out into the, you know, wilderness
or whatever, like that's going to be beautiful in the winter time.
And, you know, people are going to want to, couples and things like that are going to want
to go out there, little getaways, um, winter getaways.
But yeah, I had a lot of questions for Robert too.
I wanted to get into like restaurants and NFTs and all that.
So we're going to have like an official space soon.
Quinn Billy, thanks for dialing in to the show.
You know, I just got a DM.
Someone said that, you know, they wanted me to give you some flowers and, you know,
Do I have to kick you off the stage, man?
No, I'm just fucking around.
But yeah, episode 56, it's pretty wild.
It was, it was cool listening to Robert, man, hearing him, you know, just speak casually
Um, you know, the relationship you guys have, it seems pretty special.
So thanks for having him up here and just, you know, integrating him into the community
And, um, that's why I was really trying to get some kind of cooking chef trait into the
I know we got the turkey, but I needed a little bit more chef.
Wayne was open to, uh, suggestions back then.
We should have pushed it.
Yeah, pizza wasn't a bad idea.
He did say the roasted on chicken.
Maybe I'll set him up with a wallet and send him, you know, I'll buy one of the turkey
ones and, um, get him set up for that.
There's ice cream, there's popcorn, man.
We got a lot of food traits in there.
Actually, I feel like Dave is the one that's falling down on this.
There's plenty of food traits.
I wanted more of a chef trait, like, you know, like a spatula or, you know.
I just bought an IPG today too.
I could get him one with a chef.
That's a good idea, swan.
You got all the grilling traits, bro.
Then I got to send him up with a Discord so he can get in the Discord.
Send him in hold of this chat, please.
Yeah, he's going to leave.
Dude, I don't know if you guys remember this, but, um, so just a funny story.
Back in, like, I think it was, it must have been December or January before the mint.
And it was my, one of my first meetings with Ronnie.
And I was, you know, I told him to make a Discord so that, before the meeting, so I could just
show him what it's all about.
So, got to his office, just, uh, you know, I was just showing him Discord, showing him
how active it was during that time.
And then I think I, uh, I think I sent the message, like, yo, guys, I didn't even add
I was like, yo, guys, I'm with Ronnie right now.
Want me to tell him anything?
Like, he was watching it with me and he was like, he was like, holy shit, man.
Like, you don't even understand what you have here.
And, yeah, it was pretty nutty.
Now, now we have questions about, hey, how can 3D, uh, pay for my child's tuition and,
uh, airdrops and tokens, please?
I do have a win question though.
Um, win restaurant token for Robert's restaurant out in Vegas.
Like, win collab with RCC and Robert Irvine.
You know, um, it's actually interesting.
Uh, I don't know if you've seen it.
Maybe you could send Robert this, but Dave Grumman did something like that with his restaurants
where if you own an NFT, you get to order a special, like, dish or dessert or something.
Like, I think it, I think I did it for a little bit.
I don't know if they still do it.
But, yeah, that was live in Miami for a bit if you want me to send you that to send it.
Dave, we got to do Food Friends and I'll just grow all the veggies that are featured on the farm.
And then when you come to eat, you can have a discount as long as you pull your token.
I've been thinking about Food Friends for a minute for on the farm, but that's because
my Beats for the Soul logo is literally a perfect NFT.
But my buddy, who's a street artist that made it, is just reluctant as fuck to give in.
He doesn't want any part of it.
I'm like, dude, you're so punk that you just won't give in to, like, having a plethora of new fans.
But that's artists and I love him for it.
But, yeah, cool ideas rolling around.
I'm definitely waiting on the blueberries.
I think we should probably, you know, close it down while we're doing good here.
I don't want us to take another turn down.
While people are still participating, yeah.
But Sounds, you know, Sounds and I are in our mama's basements right now.
So, we're just, you know, we're trying to.
My mom just yelled at me saying, don't let the food get cold.
And don't forget to do the dishes.
Well, since you guys are ending, we might as well end it with the Flowers for Dave episode.
What an amazing episode, man.
Let him cook with Robert Irvine pulling up, dropping some gems, dropping some knowledge.
You know, believe in yourself, man.
And his vibe in person was amazing, too, man.
I had the opportunity to meet him and take shots and do push-ups and sit-ups.
That was an amazing night.
Shout out to the winners.
Shout out to Tony Babble.
That's going to be incredible.
So, IF, what was it, Dave?
And only 20 before 2 ETH.
And like I said earlier, man, Baba and Blondie come together and they have a nice night.
They sweep the floor and there's none listed, man.
So, that's kind of crazy.
But, yeah, man, you know, old holders, new holders, future holders, always remember it's a marathon, not a race, man.
Thank y'all for tuning in.
And, Dave, here's your flowers, bro.
Kind of dream that can't be sold.
We were right till we weren't.
Built a home and watched it burn.
I didn't want to leave it.
Started to cry, but then remembered I, I can buy myself flowers.
Write my name in the sand.
Talk to myself for hours.
Say things you don't understand.
I can take myself dancing.
Take yourself dancing, Dave.
If you're in the morning.
Yeah, I can love me better than you can.
I can love me better than you can.
I can love me better than you can.
I can love me better than you can.
Press in peace, Tina Turner.
I can love me better than you will.
I can love you better than you can.
I heard you say, I didn't want to leave, I didn't want to fight, started to cry but then remembered I, I can buy myself flowers, write my name in the sand, talk to myself for hours, there's nothing wrong with getting flowers as a man.
Yeah, I can hold my hand, yeah I can love me better than you can.
Did you cry, but then remembered I
Say things you don't understand
How do I re-deck some of this stuff in this space?
I can take myself dancing
From like 7 o'clock to 7.45
Yeah, I can love me better than you can
I don't know why this song is kind of buttery, bro
Probably not what I should dedicate to you
I know, I know, I'm sorry, bro
Thank you all so much for coming through
It was a good episode, man
Thank you for everything you do, man
You're the backbone of this, man
And what you do for the community is amazing, bro
For other companies as well
I don't know how you do it, bro
I just play sound effects, man
You can do more than that, man
Yeah, we're getting out of here
Damn, we've been going for what?
Two hours, two hours, yeah
Everybody go buy yourself flowers and get a life
Damn, why are you still here?
I don't know why I don't want to leave
You never see your friends in a long time
Nobody wants to go home, you know
Y'all got families to take care of kids and shit
Anyway, I'm going to go binge Breaking Bad
I'll see y'all when I see y'all
It was so great talking with you
I hope you come back soon
Everybody have a great night
