that motherfucker just went right off a fucking cliff, dude fucking can't stand that motherfucker dude i don't know
yeah um gmer said only heard static lol which is wild bro that i need to ask i need to get
cygar on here and figure out what is the best way there's something in abstract streams that is blocking um let me mute you there that's
blocking the the audio going through or it's doing something i i don't i don't get it um but either
way anyways uh live on abstract live on x live here everywhere i'm getting there uh yeah kyle's about to go live as well don't
forget kyle kyle's kyle's down there hanging out at the bottom of the abstract stream channels
um so go down there and go down there and pay this guy a visit all right just stop and give
me a tip and go back to jesus's stream that's all right yeah uh let's see we're gonna get we're
gonna get a lot of people in here on the stream we're
gonna try to because i'm editing the name to 500 giveaway um on here we should do that every day
and not giving anything away and then we'll get even more people in on the stream uh gm uh everybody over in that chat though uh over in um on abstract um but yeah let's get to
it bro uh kenny gm what's up what's up how you doing oh you don't sound happy what's wrong
i know do you hear that what's up are you good no no. I said sup. Oh, all right. Oh, you're trying to fuck me then, huh?
Put it like that then, huh?
Sup, baby?
Yeah.
Trying to get up in this badussy, huh?
Okay, I see.
Nice.
Bro, I noticed something on my phone as I was going here.
And what is this?
So I have early access for the new chat coming.
Message on X.
Messages are now fully encrypted.
In encryption, messages are...
I tried that like three days ago.
Because I know you've got a few spots on your account.
No, I just noticed it.
I just didn't fuck with it.
State-of- of the art privacy.
He said it's ass.
It's telegram light, bro.
Like it's just literally telegram light.
It's a mixture between telegram and fucking Snapchat.
You can basically do that messages.
Uh, like I think the lowest increment is five minutes.
So basically five minutes after you read a message, it'll disappear.
It's fully encrypted. And then there's invitation links to group chats like well i mean hey it's still good they're uh improvising uh you know just keep spaces going
for a while like you know every time they do some big massive update space is usually rug for a
fucking month so like if you can push the update without fucking
with spaces then cool let's let's do that um but uh yeah anyways um let me move this over here
um yeah so uh but yeah anyways gm happy what is today wednesday right
today wednesday or tuesday it is it is wednesday tomorrow god damn it yeah back on the grind uh
yeah kenny's um kenny's usually uh screaming hump day and shit but i think kenny's distracting
kenny did you just wake up? No. You sure?
I was reading some shit, yeah.
Okay.
What are you reading?
What are you checking out over there?
Dude, I was just listening to that Jason Atkins guy who's for Aros,
which is a market maker, bro.
Dude, this motherfucker, they said they did 2% of crypto trading
on one of the most volatile days this year.
They did 12 billion market making in volume.
I was just listening to some just kind of understanding the algorithmic way it works.
But yeah, it's a market maker.
It's not one of you, obviously, but they're like, apparently,
like one of the better market makers who do a shitload of volume they've done 132 billion dollars
like one of the better market makers who do a shitload of volume.
in trading volume on hyper liquid as a market maker and it's like my mind's blown right now so
i'm just trying to grasp everything really just it's insane how much money uh these market makers
uh or how much volume they do yeah yeah well i, well, I mean, we got a lot to jump into
because I guess one of the biggest things yesterday
was the Magic Eden thing that happened after our space, right?
Yep.
That was pretty funny.
I don't think there's been any real clarity on that yet still.
I don't think it was the biggest thing.
I think it was the second biggest thing.
But yes, it was huge.
Yeah, I don't know what the fuck's going on.
What was a bigger thing than fucking Magic Eden? He's talking about the pump fun shit. Yeah, I don't know what the fuck's going on. What was a bigger thing than fucking Magic Eden?
He's talking about the pump fun shit.
Yeah.
I don't know, bro.
Magic Eden claiming they're about to launch the official Trump wallet
and then Eric Trump coming in and being like,
I'm going to sue you, bitches.
Yeah.
That's pretty fucking big.
What's wild, though, is like,
I'm sharing Voh's tweet 21 hours ago.
She never removed her tweet
magic eden never removed any of their posts yeah so the gist the gist that i got from listening to
some other spaces this is not from my official research fucking lab or anything it's basically
that there's two separate trump teams there's eric trump and world Fi, and then there's the Trump coin team.
And it seems like if this is legit, what's probably happened here is the Trump coin team has set themselves up to launch a wallet.
And the World Liberty Fi Trump team does not appreciate the Trump likeness being used in such a fashion.
They may have even intended to
launch their own wallet and now there's going to be some back and forth uh it's just crazy how do
you have two fucking teams in crypto uh with the rights to you know the brand trump and they aren't
communicating in any fashion to know that something like this is about to happen i yeah that's wild to me to be sorting
this out live on the timeline yeah yeah it magic eden still has theirs up as well um and what does
this one say well the official trump the magic the the kid the twitter account for the official
trump wallet got suspended yeah that's one thing I did notice.
Like I went to,
and it was suspended.
So I was like,
I don't believe that.
And that account has the magic Eden badge on it.
So it's a,
it's the legit by the magic Eden team account.
Cause it's badged up.
Sorry.
Go ahead.
I'm just saying like,
imagine that phone calls literally just calling Elon cell phone.
Like all these people out here trying
to get i know they're doing it's just like hey turn this off right erin calls him up it's like
turn this fucking shit off yeah yeah that's what me and kyle were talking about it's like
the fastest speed dial ever uh you're you're doing this and his best friend's elon so yeah
donald came out uh donald trump jr eric trump everybody
came out shut it the fuck down um said world liberty fives working tirelessly on their own
official wallet soon um i don't know where it goes um oh like mando's tweet let's let's stick
to the winners got melania there um yeah fuck melania bro she fucking rubbed us all um yeah dude might go down
in history as everyone's least favorite first lady of all time and i mean keeping right in mind like
nancy reagan started the war on drugs and michelle obama might have a dick so like that's actually
that's pretty wild to take that throne well i mean she might be the worst
jk what the fuck just jokes folks oh my god that's fucking hilarious um
holy shit all right kenny i know you're chomping at the bit to get to the pump fun shit so
yeah you are let's go come on let's go no we can talk about it i mean
motherfucker i said let's go what do you believe did you just did you just literally say what's
there to talk about i mean well my point is there we don't know what this coin is for or what it's
going to do are they building their own l1 are they creating a launch pad you know know, chain? Are they shifting to streaming? Is this
what it's for? Are they going to create a chain and just like do streaming and launching of coins?
Like what exactly, you know, why is it valued at a $4 billion valuation is the question. Why are
they raising a billion dollars? Like what's it for? Well, I mean, at a minimum, they're clearly
going to build out a lot more into their platform right
with just the streaming alone that's huge right uh will they become their own l1 or whatever i
don't know um they already did their own liquidity pools right and fucked off meteora so i don't know
um hey man it's going to be interesting i i don't know. Yeah, I'm just trying to really wrap my head around exactly what the plan is with this token.
Well, PumpFun hasn't even tweeted anything about it.
It's going to be the most genied token in the history of tokens.
Well, so here's the thing.
Obviously, they've made or was it no $738 million they've generated
over the past year or so right so you know what's the purpose of raising another billion dollars
what are what is the purpose of the token are there going to be buybacks similar to what like
hyper liquid does you know what is this coin going to be usedbacks similar to what like hyper liquid does um you know what is
this coin going to be used for i think there's just not enough information out there to really
understand the valuation now if you look at the statistics of pump fund and their numbers since
january they've declined rapidly uh down 80 90 percent from like the peaks of january obviously
that was around all the Trump stuff.
And, you know, meme coins are just absolutely, you know, everything was ripping.
There were so many coins being, you know, migrated on a daily basis. The whole AI bubble.
There was just a lot going on.
And PumpPunk was raking it in, right?
They're making millions a day.
You look at the statistics now, they're down, but they're still clocking
about a million dollars a day in revenue. Whereas at one point they were valued at
making over 700, 800 million annually, they're probably somewhere down in the 360, 450 range
of revenue, which is still good. Yeah're still making money hand over fist but it
ain't like it used to be no no no that's my point so you know declining statistics declining revenue
and then all of a sudden they do this raise for a coin like i just don't understand what it's for
so i don't i i can't really give an opinion on it but but like if I had to guess, my guess would be they're trying to do their own chain is my guess.
Or just like go full streaming platform, you know, with this creator coin or content creator coin theory that they're going with right now.
Obviously, Gainsey's over there on PumpFun streaming every day.
You've got some other people looking to do it as well.
Streaming seems to be like this new trending meta. pump fun streaming every day you've got some other people looking to do it as well streaming seems
to be like this new trending meta you know everybody wants to be a streamer right now
you know um so so we'll see what direction they go but yeah i just uh i don't understand and i
don't know how this coin would actually do um i saw anson put a tweet out he's like i can't wait
for a hyper liquid to list pump list pump on Perpetual.
Yeah.
People are going to short the fucking shit out of it right off the gate.
However, if they have some flywheel where they're like doing buybacks,
it could end up running like hyperliquid.
Are we being rated?
Are we being rated by Abstract and Camel and Finn?
We got like fucking
yeah i know
door in right now dude
i know
it's camel
i know
they have a big stream coming up
i think 2 p.m. today right fin
uh maybe
you're literally on it
oh is that what's on my calendar?
Yeah.
I'm your assistant.
I'm here to help you.
You could hear the bell clicking like crazy.
He's trying to find it right now.
No, I don't always know what's on my calendar.
I just know I have meetings.
Yeah, that's about how it goes.
So, yeah, Finn, at 2 p.m. Eastern time,
you're coming to
a big stream we're playing poker we're talking about the world series of abstracts so what i
wanted to do really exciting guys you're right i'm finding out with you all together
camel's literally here just because he got a notification that finn was here
he texted me on something else that i had to i had to deal with and fix and i haven't dealt
with or fixed yet so i'm glad we yet. Was it a real thing, Finn?
I don't know.
I think you
might have found, not like
a major bug, obviously. It's nothing
critical. It's just like a weird copy-paste
bug. I found a
major bug, Finn.
How much is the abstract bug bounty program?
Zero dollars.
The bug they found is how many times you can type sugar town in abstract before the ship
now uh camel you get giga chad roll uh if you found a bug yeah
i love it god damn yeah i've been trying to get graduated for like fucking six months
to get graduated for like fucking six months oh my god sorry oh my god you shut the fuck up for a
second camel's still talking about sugar town kenny's trying to ask a question wait sorry
you're asking about what no i think it would be great if y'all implemented, like, adding social links to tokens.
Like, if I'm perusing through, like, the tokens, right?
Oh, yes.
We had this discussion recently.
It's on the list of things.
There was, like, two concerns about it, mainly around, like, what happens if an account gets exploited.
And then also, the main thing was just,
we didn't want to have to manage that directly ourselves.
So figuring out,
is there a way for us to allow for teams to input links?
But then, you know,
when you start letting people put links in things.
Yeah, no, it can get dicey for sure.
No, just I think, you know,
from trying to do your DD on a coin,
you know, and just trying to figure out, okay, is this legit? It's think, you know, from trying to do your DD on a coin, you know, and just trying to figure out, OK, is this legit?
It's not it's not, you know, it doesn't have the blue checkmark yet.
So, like, who is this?
Like trying to find it on Twitter and trying to do some like DD on the socials and stuff.
It just it gets it gets a little muddy sometimes trying to figure it out.
Yeah, it's on my on my incredibly long and ever growing list.
I was about to say that list has got to be long.
Yeah, so Kenny, it sounds like
we're going to be giving a chat here too in a second.
It's like every time I join a Twitter space,
I leave it with extra work to do.
I fucking love you guys.
Make it easy.
I've been hitting
Sygar's tweets over and over
like, bro, ad socials, add socials.
We have talked about it a few times.
We're in a sprint phase for some other stuff
right now.
You can imagine that happening and Cheez's OnlyFans
links the first thing going on.
That's what I'm thinking, man.
It's like how
people ask us for
referral links
in their streams and stuff.
Yeah.
The problem we mainly have is it's like there's a very manual process there.
We have to like whitelist links and, you know, to prevent people from putting things that are dangerous in there.
So we've like avoided it in general just because we want to not have that open to like people
exploiting it and like we already see it on deck screener where like someone gets control of deck
screener and puts a different link in and for sure you know that happens all the time yeah so we want
to like see if there's a way we can do it but we're in a pretty big sprint on some other stuff
right now around like monsters fun and amigos and a few other apps that we're helping with so
um we're kind of on a like a short pause
on like major platform development stuff any like little things are kind of uh stacking up right now
so i think we'll have like unlock and i don't know maybe like a month or so and then we'll be back to
our usual like rapid fire platform iteration phase yeah um all right so camel just to calm him down holy shit oh no yeah i was wondering why i
got so quiet finn um so i think i broke my abstract wallet oh all right so i want to i want to explain
something to you here so i like to go against like everything what everybody else is doing i like to
try new things try to see if i get more xp i do dumb shit. So I was like, you know what?
They say holding NFTs gives you XP.
And the Red Bull racing in the moment
was like the biggest thing that I think Abstract's done
as far as like Web 2 and bringing Abstract together.
So I'm like, you know what?
I'm going to fucking load up on these Oracle NFTs.
So I spent like, you know what? I'm going to fucking load up on these Oracle NFTs.
So I spent about 150 bucks.
I'm the... That's the number first.
Yeah, so I hold quite a few of these.
And as I started adding them into my wallet,
my wallet started malfunctioning.
And so like right now, like I'm sharing it on stream.
I'll go to my wallet and then if i hit
and if everybody mind the balance it's real low when i go to when i go to nfts only three will
pop up and it takes like before i couldn't get any nfts to load nothing would load so i think
i have too many nfts in my wallet and i don't know if there's something there
on the back end how many nfts do you have in your wallet like 15 like 1500 nfts yeah
for context a couple weeks ago we went through jesus's wallet and we really found out some of
his great holdings um yeah we didn't we didn't go through abstract we're
not we're not going back down memory lane camel you can't move forward if you live in the past
all right so oh my god yeah jesus had chinese for dinner last night what's your second fortune
cookie say whatever it said finn was coming and it said you would have a unexpected guest
arriving and there we go interesting so yeah i don't know so i mean
that could be something you can uh i mean i don't know we could get to this about one person
and the entire abstract ecosystem has 1500 nfts aka jesus i was i was that's that's only i mean
obviously that that'll change over time people accumulate a lot of nfts exactly um yeah there's
um i i know we've had some issues in the past with like, once you have a certain
number of NFTs or tokens, it was more to do with on the front end, us not having like
a display for that amount of NFTs.
So like, that's where the issue comes from is it's usually like our you know for tokens for instance the beginning i think we had it set where it's like
we you know had 25 modals designed for tokens and then people started buying way more than 25 tokens
and then they were like i can't see my extra tokens and so we just had to like bump that to
infinite so it's probably the same thing we're just like um we just have like a number of like set modals for for nfts and we just have to go and
update that on our end so it's limited you can leave this and let it be abstract lore so cheese
can only look at those nfts i'm also kind of down for that i'm also kind of not fixing it and then
just making it his problem forever he can go look at OpenSeater Magic Eden if he wants to see his shit.
For the rest of his abstract career,
this is it, buddy.
I can hide the NFTs, which is great,
but you have to do them individually.
So hiding 1,387 in the moment NFTs was a pain in the ass.
And then I was like, okay,
last week I did pretty decent.
This week I'm like, let me see where my XP goes.
And I lost like 16,000 XP.
I just want to point out that all of the issues Jesus is having with the abstract platform are self-created issues.
I just want to point that out.
I was going to make that comment.
I'll fix things, but I would prefer if you didn't create problems for me.
Jesus is deliberately trying to Break everything
Sagar said test the limits
And I'm testing it
How many DMs do you get every Tuesday
At 11 o'clock
Of people going what the fuck man
My fucking
My XP because I hear these guys
Bitch about it every Tuesday
Or they're happy it's one of the two
They're either happy or they're freaking out.
Every Tuesday,
I chain smoke a pack of Marbreds.
Jesus does that before breakfast.
Numbers up, brother.
I've only got four left, too,
so I'm kind of fucked right now.
I get a ton of messages every Tuesday.
It's crazy.
I made the mistake of letting people DM mem me over time that's been the biggest problem um but i to be
honest these days it's gotten a lot better i think most people who have issues um don't dm me they
just post on the timeline and yell at me i'm better so i don't know why everybody was freaking
out though like here's the thing yeah i got less this week than i got last week but a single glance at the timeline it's obvious
that so did everybody else it's not like something unfair happened like there's obviously tweaks
going on with how they're giving out the xp i just i don't know why everybody is freaking out
i think um i think the the big issue which like it was very predictable, whatever, if I'd been in office
when it happened and not...
I was in New York doing some work with Luca in person and I missed some of the conversations.
But basically, with the Red Bull event, we added a nice juice to the XP for Red Bull
because we wanted
to like celebrate that um and so most people who got less xp it was just because
like it just kind of got juiced a little bit too much like it was uh i think i was talking
to loris for multiply about it like it was a it was an over correction to an over correction
uh and those things usually result in people feeling like something was really
unfair um and that we targeted them um when in reality again it was just a you know overcorrection
to an overcorrection anyone who thinks they were specifically targeted is a bitch and you should
block them yeah no i i definitely specifically targeted a group of people in a timeline i want
them to know that i i saw them and I went, you know what?
Your XP is getting nerfed, buddy.
I do feel like the timing was kind of off that you just so happened to post a picture at a shooting range like that close to XP day.
I'm trying to warn people.
Yeah, we need more content like that, Finn.
that was beautiful well the the biggest thing is finn you said this early on is that the xp is
I mean, that was beautiful.
relative to the volume and what's happening on chain on abstract so last week like you can go
on dune and see the numbers shoot up for the uh red bull stuff and then it you know then of course it went down because you
had less participants uh on chain but it's still higher than it was before the red bull launch
so and it's and it's like going back upwards as well yeah i i think also like the um the area
where i like empathize with people the most i, is when they kind of want us to come in with the angle
that the dollar amount spent is all that matters,
or the dollar amount held is all that matters.
And I was having this conversation with the ring bearers from OCH yesterday,
because OCH players were pretty upset,
and there was a calculation error in the data we got from Scarlet. So there was like a slight discrepancy in like
the XP they should have gotten, which was like the only like true mistake that happened.
And I was trying to explain a little bit of the like, you know, to them, they were like, well,
OCH is the, you know, is a big volume driver, like, why are we not getting the most XP? And,
is the you know is a big volume driver like why are you know we're not getting the most xp and
you know in reality like they are right um but you know in that same way it's like well
you know there's dollar spend impact there's uh you know like content creator impact right there
is transaction count impact like if abstract optimized for only one success metric i think
we'd like really struggle right if we were like the only thing that matters is the amount of money
spent um we would see people would figure that out quickly and just right and game the system
and so what we actually are trying to do is like i want to reward creators who are streaming i want
to reward traders who are trading i want to reward gamers who are trading. I want to reward gamers who are gaming, and I want to reward gamblers who are gambling, right? I want to reward all of these things.
And to do that, we have to take like kind of a nuanced approach where, you know, a singular app,
singular product is not necessarily going to be like you touch one thing only and you're going
and you're going to dominate over anyone else.
to dominate over anyone else. And there are going to be people who could go in with less bankroll
And there are going to be people who could go in with less bankroll
and spend a shitload of time, you know,
bouncing around between apps and using products.
And there's a good potential that that person would earn more XP than you.
And that's our whole system, right?
It's supposed to be this, like,
how do you balance people who have time and people who have money?
How do you balance those two?
I think y'all are doing a great job of it too.
And by not revealing exactly how you earn XP,
you know, curiosity is there for people who are just, it creates more exploration on that,
on abstract itself. And that's all we want to do. We want people to like have fun,
go explore and like try things. And I think like the other thing too, that, that a lot of people
haven't really taken into account, but it's like a pretty interesting part of like XP and XP
earnings is app dilution, right? Like early days of abstract, you know, when there was maybe 10 or
15 apps in the portal to use, distribution of XP and users between those products was a lot
different than these days. And so like these days, you're competing for a much larger mindshare
within abstract, and especially you're competing for a much larger mind share within Abstract, and especially you're competing for a much larger
distribution of XP because you're no longer fighting between five to 10 apps for the share
of XP that week. There's now 40 or 50 apps that are sharing XP that week. And so inevitably,
there's going to be player dilution, there's going to be interest dilution, there's all this
dilution that exists. And so there was the the conversation of like oh why why isn't you know season two of
och earning the same xp as season one it's like well because the actual cumulative impact of season
two versus season one is significantly different um and it's unfair of us to like pick and choose
you know teams as like only this team gets the most xp like you know we're going off off data
and we're always going to go off data to for the most part so you know it's uh i i'm i don't mind
having the conversations about it like i think it's kind of fun to talk about um and like ultimately
like maybe that's maybe someday we change our mind right like maybe we get to the point where we we
don't think this is working as it should and we make big adjustments but like i think on the broad scale like most people are
pretty happy with just fucking around on chain and getting some kind of cool reward for it
uh i'd hope at least yeah absolutely a lot of fun and as usual the people that are frustrated
are you know the minority of people that are frustrated are always going to be louder you know happy people are quiet right happy people are just clicking buttons and smiling and
playing the games and whatever and then there's going to be this like loud minority of people
that's very angry or whatever because they got fucking a thousand points less this week than
they did last week i i like that the i i think it's fun to speculate on what's going to be in
the algo this week. I think it's fun. And going from one thing to another, I feel incentivized
to try these different apps, to try the coins, to try the NFTs. Yeah. And it's obvious because
I've been experimenting every week with it that what goes into it changes every week.
You're not going to be able to just purely game it and your your best option is to just you know try a little
bit of everything you know do the things that you had just have fun you know just go to the
things that you're attracted to yeah that's all it is that's all it is like you know i i think um
i think the funniest part is like it's it's always the more people are trying to like game the system
the more the system fights back against them and then they get really upset with us.
But like, look, end of the day, like, you know, and I was I've said this to multiple people.
I'm like, I like I don't know, you know, where else you're hanging out in crypto, but if you find me the other blockchain that even has as much as we have and offers as much as we have, like, you know, and you feel like abstract isn't for you, like, I mean, first off, let me know where that is, because I'd love to figure out where else you could, you know, use this many apps and products in one place.
abstract isn't for you abstract isn't for you but i think like i think the complaints are always
very much coming from people who again vocal minority who feel slighted by abstract but like
you know we're not out to get anyone we're not like uh we're not trying to try to fuck people
over like we're just experimenting and um you know and the other thing too i was like i was
thinking about this recently and i was like i was thinking about this recently
and i was like we've only been out for five months like to expect us to be perfect after
five months of a product deployment is crazy like we're five months into a five-year experiment uh
you know five-year minimum so it's like you know and shipping updates like fucking three times a
week like yeah i mean it's it's insanity uh some of the updates some of the updates like fucking three times a week. I mean, it's insanity.
Some of the updates I found on my own and Saigar hadn't even posted them.
Oh, there's a ton.
Yeah, like the one where you can go in and actually filter your streams that you want to follow.
That one, I think I've seen that before he even said something.
I don't even know if he's said anything yet about it.
But that one's still pretty good because I can just go straight to my streams,
see the people that I want to see, and then when they're not on,
I can just click it off pretty quickly.
I have a couple questions real quick, and then we'll go to some hands.
Then we'll go to some hands.
About a month ago, maybe a little bit longer,
About a month ago, maybe a little bit longer,
Luca said that verified streamers are,
like there was something coming,
like verified streamers are about to eat
or there's big rewards on the way.
Is that still in play?
Or do you know what he was talking about?
Yeah, he was talking about something that we were working on.
It's been delayed a good, not a good bit,
but it's been delayed a bit while we're optimizing
sort of our current strategy.
So tentatively, I mean, I'm hoping we close the conversation soon.
I don't have a hard set timeline on it, though, to be honest.
But I'm hoping the
conversations close up here soon but yeah it would be like a pretty massive unlock for uh for
streamers okay cool if only there was someone here whose balls i could gobble to get myself
a check mark on the ad track no he's not verified he's sitting way down there at the bottom with yeah all by myself
let me i can fix i can fix that real quick uh-oh guys look okay now just for clarity though
for clarity people that are trying to get approved for streaming logan logan has taken over that
right yeah okay so go bug lo Logan if you're trying to get...
Oh, my God.
That was fast.
Dude, I just went back to my stream and I have a blue check.
Holy fuck, that was fast.
I think someone else beat...
I didn't do it.
Wait, who did that?
I didn't even wipe my chin off yet, Finn.
Come on, dude.
That was unbelievable.
Saucy's in here.
I don't know if Saucy can do it.
If Kenny would
get approved, he would be on the knees
now.
No, Kenny... Bro, Kenny will not
come on camera. I don't understand it.
No, no. I just...
Dude, I know.
Yeah, I think...
Yeah, he doesn't want to be identified by
one of his 48 kids
running around the Houston Metroplex, is my guess.
I'm streaming with Mosque.
Can you confirm GTA 6 on the abstract portal?
GTA 6 on the abstract portal?
I would be stoked on that, but I don't have that kind of money.
Jesus.
Finn, I was curious, and we'll get to Luke.
I know Luke and Camel.
Yeah, Camel. But real quick, i just wanted to get your thoughts on so obviously the open c collab you guys done
obviously a big spike in abstract volume on the nft side of things how's that going how are y'all
you know analyzing that internally was that successful yeah i mean we're um we're pretty
stoked on it i mean obviously like the trick is it's really going to be like how do we how do we create like a sustain on there we don't just want kind of a
pump and dump and volume um that's like not not something anyone wants so yeah we're actually
like planning some cool stuff with the openc team like i think we want to be a little bit more
integrated with what they're doing and um you know do some events and do some activations and
try and just continue to have more fun with them um we're gonna have
like a really cool open edition coming up with them that we're doing um we're gonna again have
some in-person events we want to do some streams um so yeah there's like kind of this whole uh
process that we that we really want bro what about uh we're gonna get the camel and luke what about fucking uh ov and wrecked
like they're fucking crushing it especially on abstract fucking like amazing dudes love them to
death it's crazy why i mean it's like and now i'm seeing people actually selling their nfts yesterday
cheaper than what the fuck they meant to them for so that's only the european people don't make sense kept our price above okay uk right now is is 0.20 point uh hold on 0.0272 which is wild it's below mint price so
i don't think people really understood what the fuck they were getting and yeah the usa is uh
still at 0.032 but people were still accepting some offers below mint.
So it was pretty wild to do that.
But yeah, shout out to those guys.
We had him on the first.
He was on his first stream here with us with the Apple wreck, and that was good.
My daughter drank almost both cases already.
Oh, I've drank so much of it.
Yeah, and I have one left right here, and she tried coming out last night and taking that one.
And I'm like, no, you can't.
She's like, I can bring you the empty can back.
And we just filled it.
I'm like, no.
My wife's cousin drank a whole bottle of vodka the other, it was last weekend.
Just mixing it with that apple.
it goes yeah it goes pretty well it goes that apple wrecked is pretty good yeah i i did it but
It goes pretty well.
It goes well with vodka.
Vodka and that apple wrecked is pretty good.
Yeah.
i i added a lime slice to mine because the apple's not you know it's not as strong as i would want
um but yeah it's really good i was drinking it live on spaces um we were getting fucked up i
got a bottle of tito's around here somewhere i had a pretty good bus i did not get to mix it
with alcohol yet.
Oh, actually, no,
I didn't. You're right. I was trying to think if I knew there was a night at, we were
in Dubai with
Farrokh and the boys and
they had a table at
the Metakeetan event and
at the table it was just
bottles and
then cans of the
abstract drink, but I was DD that night, so I did not get to partake, unfortunately.
Oh, that sucks, bro.
Yeah, just grab your guns, a bottle of vodka, some rec drinks,
and go out and fuck shit up and bring some Tannerite with you as well.
The range that I go to, that range that I always post the videos from,
they do allow Tannerite.
So at some point, I want to go there at the range i don't dude i have not found a range around here
that will allow me to bring tannerite when i seen his range it looked like the one by my mom's house
like identical this this range is um it's very very funny uh it's run by a bunch of old southern rednecks um and they've they've owned this
range for a very long time it's an outdoor range um and uh you know they have a lot less
restrictions than than a lot of your other ranges they're they'll let you come in and
their kind of rule is like just tell them in advance what you want to do like if you want
to come in and blow something up uh the joke is reasonable well the joke is always tell them in
advance so they can join yeah there you go they want to be part of but yeah they have like i've
been there well guys have have been uh you know have brought pretty serious automatic weapons i
was there one time and a guy had an m60 wow it was like an old dude damn like older dude came in with a with a
fully automatic m60 came in just like blasted uh for like 15 minutes and left that motherfucker
probably shredded the backstop they had to tell them to stop so they could bring more dirt in
yo that's not a bottle go but i saw a guy we were at our ingor it's called uh top gun uh the dude
came in with the rifle fucking set it up took one shot and left and i was like
what the fuck was that bro oh it's never that way for me i'm always there for at least like
two or three hours i usually bring like three or four hundred rounds and these guys just want to
sight in their deer rifle i had to switch ranges not that long ago because i rocked up to the range
i had a membership at a couple years ago and all of a sudden there was a sign there saying any magazine fed rifle, you're only allowed to load one round at a time.
I was like, OK, can't get my members.
I posted where I was mag dumping the guy who like does the safety tours of the range had been egging me on from his uh his four-wheeler
so that was that was him telling me to stop being uh he was like stop stop being a player
welcome back to proud boys and chill let's go over to our good friend camel camel how's things
going in your sect of the yeah i'm not gonna name any organizations let's keep it going keep it
going finn's uh the one that's the most to lose on this space so yeah let's see
if we can get finn fired tonight he'll dip really quick nah it won't work that way um yeah i actually
had a question for finn if that's allowed finn it is allowed how do you approach onboarding
communities that view abstraction as an ideological threat e.. the hardline maximalists who conflate friction with purity?
That's a good question.
Let me run that
through ChatGPT real quick.
I was going to say I think what you should do
is ask ChatGPT to also give you the answer
to the question and not just the question itself.
I was going to go to GayGBT
and ask the question.
Can you repeat that same question exactly
chance jesus could pronounce half of that that's yeah dude did you not see me on stream i just
threw my hands up in there i'm like what the fuck how do you approach onboarding communities
that view abstraction as an ideological threat e.g the hardline maximalists who conflate friction
with purity so i think what
chat gpt is asking is like how do you onboard the people that are just like bitcoin is the only
crypto and people shouldn't need cx's they should just input numbers into a random thing and have
a hard drive i don't fucking know did you guys just skip me for Campbell to ask a fucking chat GPT question? Yeah, I think we did. And Finn, somebody sent you some NFTs in your abstract wallet.
Stones did.
As a thank you for popping in.
One of them is a collector, bro.
Wow, that is something.
He's looking at the cheese dick.
I am looking at the cheese dick. I am looking at the cheese dick.
If you don't want to take that question,
I'm just going to go to sugar.town
and register for a stream that happens in two hours.
Sorry, am I playing today?
Yes, dude.
Your intern, I've been talking to your intern.
I'm the Sugar Town intern.
I've been talking to your intern.
Your intern has communicated this information to you.
I don't know. He has not communicated to me all right i just saw a block in
my calendar all right well uh that was it well i i didn't i didn't get camel i have a question though
like you it's just like most teams in the space they're like you tweeted this from the abstract
and sugar town and oh it's two weeks of blissful sugar town poker experience and we're okay we're like
we're like halfway through the week like well no we're supposed to get an announcement of can we
start this dog is entailed right tim we're gonna talk about it on the space yeah on the stream a
lot um i assume yeah well no we're definitely i do at least i do at least know what we're doing
so i will be able to talk about it that way yeah i just didn't know i was i didn't know i was playing poker wait this is the
no one told me i was playing poker today i saw spaces like literally like four people on your
team all know that you're playing poker so like it honestly sounds like you don't listen in your
own team calls which is crazy uh yeah i did skip my team calls you know if you don't listen to
your own calls you'd make a great reality check Spaces host, I got to tell you.
That's the only job requirement.
Two things I want you all to implement, Camel.
Number one, chat on the poker tables.
Number two, allow people to show their hands.
Like say I bluff somebody and I want to show them.
We're working on it.
It's a live ops product, so we ship features constantly.
And since we had the initial launch on Abstract last week,
and the first day, shit just kind of broke up
because the user scale was way too difficult for us.
What happened was all the table switching and people getting out
at the same time really fucked things up.
And so that only happened in live, and it didn't happen in you know all the
I don't know what the
fuck this is we're gonna find out
if this account's real here did we just lose
what camel
yeah let's
hope
Brooklyn brawler is he
gonna come stream on abstract
I don't know 33 year old
WWE superstar published author booking inquiries.
What's up, Rugland Brawler?
What's going on, guys?
You guys are fuckers.
All right, Luke.
We got a real-life celebrity on stage.
By the way, I have to go make lunch before the stream.
I love you all.
I'll be back.
Thanks for coming through.
Thank you, bro.
We appreciate it.
Ben, I think that's my question.
I'm going to be out of your door.
I'm going to be out of your door with Chokeshaw and Foods, yeah?
What the fuck?
You had a question for me, Luke, before I left?
It's full chaos.
So are tokens,
NFTs, and apps
that aren't officially
verified by Abstract with a check or in the portal,
are those not
XP earning transactions that we put through?
Correct.
Okay, that's verified. Okay, cool.
And also, I have a verified token, like verified tokens are eligible for XP.
There are some unverified tokens that are eligible.
That's not the basis for it.
But apps that are not on the portal are not eligible for XP.
All right, Jesus Christ, guys, I'm trying to fucking onboard a wwe superstar you're talking about dirty fucking xp questions fuck thank you
appreciate it bro okay guys well you know what i come on spaces to pay it forward and to inspire
everyone i like that so so the bottom line is treat today like it's the first day of the rest of your life.
And start to do anything you want.
Everyone in this space has the capability of becoming and doing anything they want.
All you have to do is believe in it with all your heart and soul.
It'll resonate into confidence, into passion, and it will take you there.
That's what happened to me.
I was like 16 years old.
I want to be a WWF superstar.
And then all the haters came out.
No, you can't do it.
It's the stupidest idea I ever said.
You ever said you'll never get there.
You'll never get there.
Never get there.
I said, you know what?
I'm calling you inspiration because you're pushing me even farther.
Fuck yeah, dude.
I tell those motherfuckers this every day, bro.
Nobody's going to tell me I can't
or cannot do something.
So I made a goal to get WWF.
I got into it. And then when you get a goal,
when you accomplish a goal,
another goal appears. Then my second
goal was to get famous in WWF.
And then Bobby Heenan,
if anybody knows who that was.
Yeah, he's a manager. He was. Hell yeah, bro. He walks up to me. Heenan, if anybody knows who that was. Yeah, he's a manager.
He was.
Yeah.
Hell yeah, bro.
He walks up to me.
He says, you know how to wrestle now.
I'm going to teach you how to make money.
I'm going to create the Brooklyn Brawler and put you in my family.
I said, holy shit, with Andre the Giant and everybody.
So I'm in his family.
So that shot me to the moon.
And then my third goal was to wrestle in Madison Square Garden.
Everybody says, oh, you got pipe teams.
You got pipe teams.
Well, I had 41 pipe teams because I wrestled in Madison Square Garden 41 times.
Let's fucking go.
And then you know what else happened?
Then I get a phone call from Dwayne The Rock Johnson.
Dwayne The Rock Johnson.
He never, ever had a wrestling match. And his father didn't want to get in the business.
So he totally said, if you do want to get into business, have the Brooklyn Brawler,
have your first match, because he had my first match at WWF, and he knows exactly what to do.
So Dwayne called me up, and he said, Steve, I know him since he's 14.
He says, I want to get into business.
I got hurt with Canadian football, and my dad says to have you to have my first match. And I said, it would be my pleasure, Dwayne. I'll pick you up at the airport. So I go
pick him up at the airport. And as I'm driving, as I'm driving, I'm saying, how many matches have
you had? He goes, literally none. I have never had a match in my life in front of an audience.
And then I said, okay, we're going in front of 15,000 people now.
And I said, you just got to listen to me.
Believe in yourself.
Believe in it, Dwayne.
I'm telling you.
Watch what I do.
I'm going to show you the psychology of wrestling.
He walked out to the ring, and they said, get out of here.
We don't want to see you.
We can't stand you.
Go back to Florida.
You're a nobody.
And then I come in the ring.
They booed me because I was in the Heenan family.
So then Dwayne whispers in my ear, they hate me.
And I said to him, good.
The more they hate you, the more they're going to love you.
I said, you just watch the way I changed the whole thing around.
I said, you know those few moves I showed you?
He goes, yeah.
I threw him in.
He ducked my clothes on.
He leaped from me.
He drop kicked me.
And the people booed louder.
He comes and goes, it didn't work.
I said, it didn't work because that wasn't it.
Now, this is it.
Watch what I do right now.
I said, just stop me.
Beat the shit out of me.
I'm going to fly for you.
I'm going to make you look like you wrestle for 20 years.
Just slam me, drop my neck on the top rope, choke me,
do everything you can and show them that you're just dominating the match.
Then go to throw me in.
I'll reverse throw you in.
And then I'll go for a backdrop and you can do what they call a sunset flip.
They call it Sunset Flip.
It's a pinning combination.
It's a pinning combination.
One, two, three.
And then 15,000 people stood up and they said, we love Dwayne.
We love Dwayne.
I turned him all around.
He goes, fuck, you did it.
And I said, I sure did.
He had $7 in the bank.
That's all he had.
And then three days later, he got a six-figure contract.
And now he's a billionaire.
But the bottom line is that I'm not any more special than anybody else in this space.
You all have the capability to do everything you want or anything you want. You can be anything
you want, even if people tell you no, because they don't want you to make it because they can't do it.
Even if people tell you no, because they don't want you to make it because they can't do it.
You make a goal and you just believe in that goal with your heart and soul.
You have more talent than you even know.
You have a magical ability to make things happen if you only allow it to happen.
But self-belief is the answer to success.
And every celebrity and every singer I ever talk to,
they listen anonymously sometimes and they tell me,
what you are telling these people is the only way to get to success.
But what makes you think anyone in this space is going to actually take this and apply it?
And my reply was, well, if I get one person in this space,
I already got 15 that said i changed
their life if i get one person in this space that actually takes me seriously and doesn't just
listen to me and does it it makes a goal of believing in all the heart and soul you are
gonna make it to stardom or it doesn't have to be a wrestler a singer it could be a plumber it could
be electrician the easiest thing is to take your boss's job.
One kid said to me, I want my boss's job more than anything.
I said, do you believe it?
He goes, I believe it.
Two months later, he DMs me.
He goes, brother, I don't know what happened.
I never said one word to my boss, and he gave me a raise.
I said he felt your passion and your confidence.
That's what happened. I'm going to make my boss feel my passion tomorrow you got me fucking hyped up
right now brother because you know what i don't want that motherfucker's job though he's got to
manage a bunch of retards like me i don't want his job but i do want that raise i'm telling you
if you if you if you make the goal to take i know you't want his job, but to take the boss's job, you watch what happens.
You're going to go right to it.
He's going to see.
He's going to feel it.
Because passion and confidence, you can't see.
You can only feel.
But watch what happens.
Any goal you choose, trust me, it works.
It's never failed.
You guys ever hear of Toby Keith?
Oh, yeah.
Toby Keith was a good friend of mine, God rest his soul.
I said to Toby, I said, you know, how did the football players react
when you said you wanted to be a country music star?
He said, oh, my God, brawler.
He goes, they tackled me.
They laughed at me.
They poured Gatorade on me.
They told me no football player could ever be a country music star.
And then I said, what happened then, Toby?
I said, how did you react to that?
He goes, it pushed me even farther and made me want to do it even more
because no one's going to tell me I can't.
And he proved them all wrong.
He became a major country music star.
And I hugged him and I said, you know what, Toby?
You think exactly like I think
because that's the only formula.
Don't let anybody tell you
you can't do something because
everyone has greatness in them.
And all you got to do is activate it
and believe in it.
If you believe, you will achieve
and always stay humble
or you will stumble.
You know, how do you think I felt?
Cars.
Damn, look at this guy spitting it.
I'm telling you, man.
How do you think I felt when I was 37 years old
and I was walking to Manhattan?
I seen my name on the billboard of Madison Square Garden.
You know what?
Most people, we get a big head.
No, I stood humble.
Because you know why?
That was my goal.
And no one could tell me anything even my family told
me i could never do it and i did every single thing that i ever wanted to do everyone in this
space has got the same power to do what i did i'm telling you it's true it works go for it
go for it someone's got to step up someone's got to step up if everyone's hearing what i'm saying and
believing in it give me hearts because that's my reward let's go i love the energy man i love the
message i gotta ask you though uh this is this is a web three space i mean how much are you are you
on i'm on everything you know what you're in crypto what's your what's your favorite crypto
what are you doing in the space my accountants and all those handle it everybody told me don't believe in crypto i says yeah okay yeah why because you can't buy it and
you don't believe in it you're going to tell me what to do no one tells anybody what to do
because you own yourself and you're the only one that could tell yourself yes or no and that's the
bottom line so bottom line is that's the message I want. I wanted to say because it's a stone cold
sex, but yeah, he's got me all hyped up, dude. I'm having flashbacks to my childhood. I was
such a fucking resident. You got a question for Brooklyn or I'll take all questions. I will give,
I will answer any question. Great. Um, I actually wanted to DM you because I think that, well, one of the newest blockchains.
There's a lot of really new advances that are doing updates and everything kind of getting
into this, uh, live streaming.
So I got stories that'll blow you away.
I'll tell you one right now.
I, I get a phone call at my house.
It's Vince McMahon.
He says, Steve, I need you to do something for me.
I said, what?
He goes, I need you to fly to Calgary and wrestle Bret Hart for the WWF World Heavyweight Championship.
I said, no problem.
I wrestled Bret Hart's debut.
I wrestled him 20 times.
And he goes, but I want you to do it as Doink the Clown.
I said, Vince, I don't care about the wrestling, the traveling, but the paint job on the face.
He laughed and he says, I knew you were going to say that,
but I got it all handled.
He goes, I'm going to fly you to Cleveland to get Matt Bourne,
who was presently suspended.
His wife is going to give you the suit and bag is claimed.
They get back on the plane, fly to Stanford, Connecticut,
where you're going to meet with the Jill, the makeup girl.
And she's going to teach you how to paint.
She's going to give you all the necessities.
And she's going to give you everything. And then you're back on a plane and fly to Calgary,
and you're in the main event with Bret Hart and his hometown. That was a task that I just
accomplished, and let me tell you something. When I walked through that curtain, he was the hottest
bad guy, and they didn't even know it was me. i was just that's awesome man i gotta tell you i
love clowns usually i would have a clown pfp brother brooklyn yeah i i'm i'm actually extremely
enthusiastic about the idea of seeing you get interviewed by by ac here i don't know if you're
aware but we're streaming on this platform right now called abstract which is a new streaming
platform um and i think it would be great if you can if you're open to it man give her a follow back and work that out with her because i'd love to see you guys stream uh an interview
the only problem is i do zooms two times a week and i charge 200 an hour so uh you know i you know
i i can't get something for free man's gotta get paid no i don't know man came here talking about
paying it forward now motherfucking wants 200 i don't know what the man came here and talked about paying it forward. Now the motherfucker wants $200. I don't know what the fuck's going on now.
What the fuck?
My stories are insane.
I traveled with Roddy Piper.
I shared rooms with Roddy Piper.
I shared rooms with the Iron Sheik.
You know the Iron Sheik gets up in the middle of the night and blue-jire his mustache as he drinks a cold beer at, like, 3 in the morning.
Holy shit, the experiences are insane.
Oh, my God.
I had my first match with Mr. Perfect in Oregon,
and he pretty much taught me, but he was a real ribber.
Brooklyn, did you ever come down here to the Houston circuit, man?
Because I'm from Houston.
I grew up in the 80s.
I used to watch Houston wrestling every Saturday morning with my brother. We would body slam each other from bed to bed.
Like, this is what I grew up on. I grew up on the Von Erics, the Freebirds.
I wrestled Kerry when he had a pilot beat. But you know what? Let me tell you a little
secret about wrestling. There's no winners and losers. There's winners and star makers.
So actually, every time I got beat, I was telling the guy that was beating me what to do.
And I was enhancing all his strengths and I was hiding all his weaknesses.
And that's what it was.
They call that putting you over, right?
Yeah.
Putting them over.
Very good.
Yeah.
You're right.
But you know what?
I chose that.
I wanted to be an enhancement guy because I had a choice. I could push the Brooklyn Brawl like a big star and have other enhancement guys.
I said, no, I want to enhance everybody else. So if they put me, if they made me a huge star in the beginning, I would last five years.
Doing it my way, I lasted 32 years because there's always somebody to help, to put over and to do it.
there's always somebody to help, to put over, and to do it. But the bottom line is everyone in this
space can do anything they want. The world is at your feet. All you have to do is do what I say
and believe in yourself and watch what happens. Nothing can stop you. Nothing. Nobody. You don't
need any money. You don't need any connections. You don't need anything
but yourself and your self-belief.
Bottom line.
Bottom line.
Coin Kong, do you have a question? And then we'll go to Dijani.
I think he had a question too.
Coin Kong.
I'm good now. I'm good now. You're good.
Okay. Dijani, what's up? You got a question?
Brooklyn, that was a fire speech, bro.
Hey, I didn't hear such a fire speech for the longest time.
I am really excited.
I've done UFC for 10 years, and I liked my small brother has made wrestling.
It's really cool to see you here up on the space.
Fire speech, fire speech.
God bless you.
Thank you for the kind words.
The only reason I come on
Spaces is to pay it forward
because I said to myself, I accomplished
everything I wanted to accomplish, and I'm
still going. I'm going to West Virginia,
and I'm going to sign autographs on the 7th,
and I travel all over the country signing autographs.
But let me tell you, what I
do is I reinvented myself.
That's why I lasted so long, too.
Brooklyn Brawler, Dointer Clown,
Kim Chi, then I came up with
Abe Knuckleball Schwartz.
That was from the movie The Warriors.
Do you remember that movie?
No, fuck no.
Bro, but I think you can make much more.
The Warriors, Jesus? That's a fucking
classic.
That's really a classic.
It's a classic.
They had a gang that had baseball's faces Classic. That's really a classic. Yeah, it's a classic. Brooklyn.
They had a gang that had baseball's faces, and they were baseball players.
So I got an idea.
I had one of the wrestlers, actually Damian Demento.
You wouldn't remember him.
But he was a great artist.
I said, draw me a face on this napkin as a baseball.
I went into Vince's room.
I knocked on the door.
I said, Vince, can I show you something?
He said, sure.
I showed it to him. He looked at it. He said, interesting. I'll give Vince's room. I knocked on the door. I said, Vince, can I show you something? He said, sure. I showed it to him.
He looked at it.
He said, interesting.
I'll give it some thought.
And then I said, can I say one more thing?
He goes, what?
I said, it's never been done.
He said, really?
You get chained in here right now.
We're going to make this happen.
Because he wanted to be the first to ever have it done.
And it only lasted eight months.
But you know what?
When I have an autograph signing, that's my hottest picture. That's the picture. be the first to ever have it done and it only lasted eight months but you know what when i have
an autograph signing that's my hottest picture that's the Brooklyn you are a world star and
you say you just make 200 bucks an hour with zoom i mean come to web3 we can make you a lot of more
money than 200 per hour i already got all the money I need. I'm financially independent, but I do it just because...
Oh, wow, man.
I just got down to the picture of you and Sabu on your account.
I just watched Sabu on Legion of Skanks a couple weeks ago, right before he passed, man.
What a great interview that was, or a podcast, anyway.
That was three weeks before I was signing autographs.
He was right next to me.
And I said, let me take a picture, Sabu.
And he took that picture and then he passed at 60 years old.
You know?
He was still wrestling.
He was still doing.
I don't know what the hell killed him.
I don't know what it was.
I'm not going to speculate.
But, you know, I never wrestled Sabu, actually.
That's like one of the very few people I never wrestled.
How about the Ultimate Warrior?
You guys remember him?
Duh. How could you Ultimate Warrior? You guys remember him? Duh.
How could you not?
How could you not?
When he first came in, he was going by the Dingo Warrior.
And they put me to test him out.
And I wrestled him like 47 times.
But after about 20, they came up to me secretly, the company, and they said, we're going to have you beat Ultimate Warrior.
He wasn't Ultimate Warrior yet.
He was Dingo Warrior.
Have you beat him to test his attitude to see what he does?
I said, oh, shit, he's going to bury himself.
I said, he was a good friend of mine.
So I took him in the other room.
I said, Jim, listen, I'm not supposed to do this.
But what I'm going to tell you, they're going to test you.
And they're going to say that Brooklyn Brawl is going over you tonight.
And I says, I want you to say yes, anything for business.
And he did it.
And then they made him the ultimate warrior
because he showed them that I have no ego
and that I would do anything that's good for business.
And then when he went to the Hall of Fame,
I walked into his room.
He was all alone.
He started crying.
He started crying.
He goes, oh, my God, I was just thinking about you.
He goes, what you did for me. He goes, oh, my God, I was just thinking about you. He goes, what you did for me.
He goes, I'm going to bring it up.
I'm going to have you stand up in the Hall of Fame, 10,000 people.
He goes, I'm going to tell the story about how you told me on the side.
I said, you can't do that, Jim.
You can't because I still work for the company.
Everybody's going to look at me like we can't tell anything to the Brooklyn Brawler
because he goes and tells them, you know, because he might have said, fuck, I ain't doing it.
I ain't doing it.
You know what I mean?
I goes and he goes, that was 30 years ago.
Who gives a shit?
I said, yes, but I still work for the company.
And he says, OK, but stand up anyway.
I'm going to have you stand up.
And all he said was it's all on YouTube.
Everything I tell you is on YouTube.
And the thing with The rock is on Young Rock season
two episode eight he made a whole episode about me but he said where's the Brooklyn baller stand
up said the Brooklyn baller took all my abuse and anguish and always kept a good attitude I
just want to thank him from the bottom of my heart I said oh that's okay you know but uh
could you see my point if he would have said that story, I would have been like,
everybody would turn their head and look at me like,
holy shit, you weren't supposed to tell him.
You know, but you know what?
I'm glad I did because he was a great star.
And then I took a picture with him the day before he died.
And I have a picture.
And he, you know, and then he said in the interview,
the day before, when the ultimate war is gone, his heart stops beating, he will live forever.
And he died the next day. He just, he died in the, he was walking to his car and he took like a heart
attack or something, you know, and he died. I mean, how ironic is that, that he talked about how he's going to be remembered, which he is.
And it happened.
But I got that picture the day before he died, me and him.
Once in a while I post it.
But that's it, man.
The stories are unbelievable.
Roddy Piper, he was a man I shared rooms with, I traveled with,
I did everything with.
One time after the show, I was driving.
He goes, let's go for a drink in a bar.
And then he sees a bar with about 50 motorcycles in front of it.
He goes, there's one right there.
I said, we can't go in there.
They're going to fuck with us because they know who we are.
And he goes, now we are going in.
And then we walked in the bar the music stopped and then everybody
looked at us and then the music started up he walked up to the bar he said two shots of jack
daniels and then i could see what my peripheral vision i said roddy 300 pound guy coming at us
he looks mean he's all in leather he's a a biker. Roddy couldn't care less.
He comes between us. He takes Roddy's
shot off the bar. He puts it
in his mouth. He goggles it,
and he spits it back in, and he puts it back
at the bar. Roddy picks up
the shot. He shoots it down,
and he says, glad to know you.
The bartender goes, drinks
on the house all night for these guys.
And everybody was laughing because Roddy don't give a shit.
He didn't do it out of fear.
He did it out of, is that the best you got?
I really don't care.
You know, and I was with his daughter a few months ago, and I was telling her.
She goes, I never heard that story, but believe me, I know my father and everything he did.
The guy was fearless.
He got electrocuted in the shower because he had like radio or something in there and he
and then he he went right to the ring he didn't care he just went right to the ring he was
fucking nuts but the problem i got electrocuted in a shower in el salvador and i still had to go
