Thank you. so
what is up party people welcome on in excited to get silly with y'all today let's go
all right i see penny i see action let's get some folks up here on stage
wait wait wait why is penny here i thought we're getting rid of the penny
oh you can't get rid of the penny he's uh impervious pennies are lucky man i don't know why
everyone's so excited to get rid of the penny bad idea well i don't know that's a good question
it might be because it's worth one cent and it costs three cents to make
that may need a reason so just uh make pennies worth more if we stop printing money
maybe our money wouldn't be worth jack shit and we could keep printing pennies profitably
it's an interesting uh
i'm gonna wait for alex to be in here because i feel like he's gonna be able to
relate to this rant.
And so I am going to wait on that.
But for right now, let's talk about it action.
Bitcoin, baby.
Going on. Let's go.
I mean, what do you mean what's going on?
It's 2025, man.
It's 2025. That's what's happening.
Are we rich yet?
I just need one more. I just need one more more we got to do at least 10 000 all right how's your bitcoin feeling
i guess i feel like it doesn't even feel that good anymore we had all-time highs and
the high is gone what happened action when did we uh when did we get like this
i i had gotten like this a while ago.
People are all trying to take over the timeline.
Like, oh, Bitcoin is a surprise. Bitcoin is a surprise.
I'm like, dude, I got work to do.
I'm at the point where it's like, this is expected.
We knew this was coming, so it's not a surprise.
You know what I mean?
I guess you can say I'm a little jaded.
That's what happens after 12 years.
I feel it.
All right, Alex, I've got a little rant to kick us off here today.
How are you doing?
I'm doing well.
I'm wrapping up at the gym, so I'll be talking a little bit quieter for the next 10 minutes, but I'm doing well, man.
All right, nice.
Okay, I'm going to kick us off into it.
I moved into a new condo this past week, and, you know, like many people moving into new condos, I purchased furniture from Ikea, right? Went to Ikea with the missus. Spent a good, you know, four hours stuck in there walking around like a lonely, helpless man following behind. You know how it goes.
helpless man following behind you know how it goes and uh i actually you guys will appreciate
this so i was in ikea so long people think that we're over exaggerating right as guys when we go
with our woman i was in ikea so long that when i went to check out the guy turns me and goes
man you've been here all day huh and was like, is it that bad that the employees
are looking at me going, yeah, you just been here. I was like, yep, it's been a while.
So anyways, that was a sign number one, that maybe something was off. Maybe I've been there
a little bit too long. But anyways, you buy your furniture from Ikea. I got beds, shelves,
stuff like that. And you get to check out and they offer you they say would you
obviously you know you want it delivered i'm not gonna fall out my car they say would you like us
to build it for you when we get there and so how much is it for you to build the furniture they
say it's 20 of whatever the furniture costs 20 for us to come and build it i was like 20 this is ikea you know youtube videos baby i got i got
people that can help me i don't need them to build no furniture why does this furniture take so
goddamn long to build i cannot tell you okay to build two beds i had three other guys young fit able men helping me we started at like
that was your problem eight yeah i needed dad's like action that would have been the move i mean
let me just stop you here there were no let me stop you here yes you make too much money to
assemble your own ikea furniture like just you just pay for a task grab but it's a hundred dollars
and they do it for you what are you doing it's a pride thing alex it's a pride thing you know this is my
first you should be proud that you can hire someone to do it what are you talking about
alex this is the first bed i've ever bought you know there's there's there's levels to this
this is the first bed you've ever bought what the hell does that mean the first bed i literally
honestly honestly i don't think i ever had to a bed before thinking back to it or a bed
frame. I'm pretty sure that I basically took one from my home when I went to college. I then brought
it back to my home. And then after we sold my house, I moved in with my fiancee at her place
at the time. I then lived in Airbnbs for the last six seven months and now i just moved in my own place how much is your time worth an hour more than building that goddamn bed i'll
tell you that so then why did you build the bed 20 percent when you said 20 wolf i was like oh god
he's gonna say he passed that is 20 is such a good deal i Ikea furniture is so cheap. It's like $100 for something and you pay
$20 for someone to build it.
Hell yes.
No, my bed frame was $950.
It was not $100.
Otherwise, I would have paid $20.
Anyways.
You got to think about how you value
your time, dude, because you're wasting it.
I value my time $300 an hour.
If I can spend less than
300 to save me an hour i'm spending the money right so you i'd imagine that bed took you way
longer than an hour and probably would cost you under 300 yeah let's see how long the bed took me
so building it with three other guys now here's the thing i had to build let's just be fair i had
to build two beds because of course the fiance's bed had to be built as well
and also don't forget we got the bed frames that have the four drawers that roll into the other side that all the drawers have to be built as well we started building at 8 p.m ish action what time
do you think we finished 1 a.m close closer to 2 a.m in the morning what the fuck took five hours
to build two beds yeah that was the real story is why do you guys have separate beds
oh i i personally move so much in my sleep i would be a terror to sleep in the same bed with me
you should see my aura ring readouts
i'm like punching and kicking um my like sheets pull off like once a week i really don't think
it'd be safe for someone to sleep in the same bed as me not gonna penny penny i tried i've i've like
i don't believe you let's try it but he always says no well you know we tried that one time and
you know the rest is history anyway uh with that being said also i don't know penny i
like i like my space like my space but yeah building ikea furniture something that in
retrospect i would have paid for also scariest part we finished building there's six little
wooden pegs left over oh my god that's nerve-wracking when you like finish building
something and you're like, well, what is
this part here for? What did that mean?
What are these little pegs?
No, it's not.
I have a little,
you know, a little box in my
garage with all the little extra parts.
It's okay. If I ever need it, it's there.
It's not okay if you
don't know where it goes and you think that that might
have been a load bearing or integral piece that's not okay i don't think it necessarily
yeah i think i think they they came with some extras so i don't think it was too important
hopefully especially after all that time i spent putting into it but yeah more of the story um
pay for them to build your furniture it's not worth it i wish
somebody had emphasized that to me harder in advance i'm doing it as a service for the chat
here because that was not good also it took like forever yeah it's no okay so you need to yes you
go ahead and value your time but you need to like realize like what it is that you're doing so like
i will sure pay somebody else to do stuff but it depends on what it is that you're doing. So like I will sure pay somebody
else to do stuff, but it depends on what it is. Like let's like my, the last thing I put together
was a, like a changing table for my kids and my kid wanted to do it with me. Like you got to have
purpose, right? If my kid wants to do it with me, like there's purpose behind it. So like, I'm,
I'm not going to, you know, look at that as like time being wasted. That's time being spent
wisely. So like if you were doing some team building and having those three men, like, I'm not going to, you know, look at that as, like, time being wasted. That's time being spent wisely.
So, like, if you were doing some team building and having those three men, you know, kind of gang build that bed with you.
There was definitely a team building aspect.
Perfect.
You know, I'm going to take him out also for a nice steak dinner in Vegas next week at the Bitcoin conference.
Which is going to cost more than you would have paid for putting that thing together but but don't tell
them i was gonna take him out for the steak dinner anyways but now i'm telling them that i'm taking
him out for the steak dinner because they built the bed with me you know what i'm saying nice is
will coming he did a good job in the space earlier today is who coming will will is will coming we've
got uh yeah will is gonna be there we've got me will, Will is going to be there. We've got me, Will, Charles, Sam, Cade, Jordan, all in one Airbnb.
A lot of couches, a lot of couches.
Dude, this Airbnb in Vegas turned a closet into a room.
I've never seen this before.
It's a walk-in closet from the master, and they put a twin bed in the walk-in closet.
It is wall-to-wall, just bed.
You crawl in from the door of the closet onto the bed so it's pretty much a new bedroom you just know your house
is a party house at that point right like you're just giving up on the idea that anyone is going
to take care of your place and they're just going to party like crazy in it i don't know i don't
know i'm intrigued to see what ends up well funny enough
the people you work with they're they're really good people like they're not the party kind
no no one on my team drinks alcohol uh nobody on my team really like parties from what i can tell
i don't know we just grind we just grind dude they went to the gym after last night after we
finished building at like 2 a.m they went to the gym so y'all are psychopaths um so anyways that was something that was pretty
interesting that was part of my rant i had like one other side rant here but i'm just curious what
else is going on with people what's up with you malcolm uh not much not much man one of my computers
went down at my uh job at my business so I am currently using my main computer as the computer to run my engraver, which is great, but also sucks because now it permanently runs hot since it's a lot of resources being used.
So an amazing computer I really want.
But, you know, for some odd reason, aside from the fact that it's literally two thousand five
hundred dollars i can't freaking afford it i'll put it together for 20 percent
yeah i'm gonna gonna kind of decline i'm not rich like you guys but thank you thank you for
your offer anyways um but yeah no i am definitely poor and so that computer costs way too much so i'm currently having to deal with my hot running computer running a uh big uh vectorizing engraver and
it's just it's it's a time you know it's really a time but other than that everything's going
swimmingly how about you folks is there anything worse than your computer breaking?
No, there is not.
Not having a backup computer.
I will say, yeah, I do have the backup computer.
That is a good point.
I'm just going to say, I mean, this sucks.
creationally and goes to get punched in the face so i mean i was wondering what you're like
And you're talking to a guy who recreationally goes to get punched in the face. So, I mean.
grumbling about the timeline was yesterday oh no no no that's just oh yeah no no no i say that
all that's actually a mantra of mine that everything is stupid and nothing matters
because i mean in all i see it really doesn't When I log on to this app, I definitely see that a lot of times.
Like, man, the stuff I get shown, it damages your faith in humanity. But I mean, I've always
believed that everything is stupid and nothing matters. So assign your own meaning to things,
build your own meaning, make stuff matter, because otherwise life ain't gonna hand it to you.
meaning make stuff matter because otherwise life ain't gonna hand it to you
sorry for giving you got the scare by the way because i know a couple of y'all were concerned
don't worry not gonna happen ammo's too expensive these days and rope well rope is made in china so
it's tariffed do you know that home depot won't let you buy long pieces of rope if you're crying in the store you saw that video is that true yeah yeah it's one of their policies apparently
i did imagine teaching that by testing it imagine teaching that to the new employees
like what training do you go through like if someone is crying these are the things you cannot
sell them there's like 500 000000 ways in Home Depot too.
They probably cut off half the store.
That's fair as well.
Yeah, I don't know.
I don't know.
I just saw the videos that are going viral.
Actually, those are what I'm talking about.
People trying to go in and test this stuff.
Oh, it makes life quite interesting
with some of these different pieces.
Oh, oh, fun thing to talk about.
I get to brag a little bit here.
Has anybody watched my TV show
that came out on Amazon Prime yet?
Has anybody seen it?
Ooh, is that what it is?
It's on Prime.
What?
I'm going to have to find it.
What was it?
My TV show is officially out on Amazon Prime.
It's actually really good.
If people haven't seen it yet, it's called Crypto Nights.
It's all one word, Crypto Nights.
It is out, I believe, pretty much everywhere on Amazon Prime, wherever you watch.
I'll pin up to the top of the space real quick.
Nights with a K, not a.
It's like with chess versus darkness, Nights.
Yes, Crypto Nights with a the k and it's all one word
for it to show up and it'll show it as one of the new shows streaming on there and it is essentially
shark tank but for crypto companies and my role is essentially for most people watching they're
just gonna have no clue what's going on right because people are talking about like all these
you know ai and token and all that type stuff So they have the sharks that are on there. Then they have the host who's Adrian
Grenier, who is the guy that played Vinny Chase in Entourage. And then there's like a second room
that they cut to constantly, like every minute or so. And in that other room, there's three of the
other competitive teams, basically like other companies that are all trying to pitch.
And they're live watching the pitches with me. And I'm basically doing live commentary and
reaction and explanations of what the companies do, what all the topics mean that they're hitting
on, right? If they're going back and forth, like I'll be like giving reactions to the judges.
So I'm essentially like used as the reaction pieces. So yeah, Amazon Prime, check it out.
I've been watching through the show.
I love how they put it together.
They made me look really good.
So God, let me make sure I understand this correctly.
Two years ago, I filmed a crypto Shark Tank show
where I go over crypto companies
and talk about how they work
and they put it on Amazon Prime.
And then two years later,
you go on a crypto Shark Tank show where you go over crypto companies
and they put on Amazon Prime.
Is there anything you do that's original or is everything just a copy of Amazon?
Is your show on Amazon Prime?
And Apple TV.
Yeah, it's an Apple TV.
I didn't know that.
Wasn't it?
I was going to.
Wow.
It's on every major platform yes all right well alex nope
apparently i'm not original that's how it goes just checking no not not a single original thought
in my head in fact i'm actually thinking of a you know a rebrand to nft god if anyone wants to start
a third crypto shark tank i'm happy to host please uh send me dms yeah well before we do that you know
you guys know what we're gonna have to do right we're gonna have to have a watch party night and
vote on who did it better that's the only way yeah if we streamed one of the shows we could
make fun of wolf as it goes on that'd be pretty fun oh no yeah we're definitely going to be taking
the piss out of out of both of them like no it's going to be and basically be like a celebrity
night roast but for sure i really thought that i first off when i recorded the show i had no idea
how much screen time i was going to get obviously you know these things get way cut down when we
were sitting there we were doing 12 to 14 hours of recording a day and you know that things get way cut down when we were sitting there we were doing 12 to 14 hours
of recording a day and you know that would be for basically eight pitches and then so each of those
pitches was running over an hour but then on the show the pitches are cut down to sub 10 minutes
usually and so there's so much content that's just being cut out so i was actually impressed
with how much
they worked in like just little reactions of me just kind of like calling stuff out and pieces
like that so i'm pretty happy with it but yeah go watch everybody if you haven't yet dude if they
didn't have you nobody would understand what's going on i think that's the biggest difference
between crypto knights and what hello labs did is that like they did try to dumb it down as much as
possible right from the get-go but um season two with Killer Whales, they did add that piece that you were talking about.
So the reaction room and having some people on the side reacting to what's happening.
So everybody's copied from each other.
Weren't you in there reacting?
Yeah, I was in there.
Oh, yeah.
You were the belly of laughs.
Somebody had to let out the big laugh when everything happened what would you say was your favorite part of the show
laughing at people i think and calling ran and and a-hole on um yeah on screen
nice have you guys seen diligent lately man's on the warpath on the timeline
all right did you use diligent for he's like go ahead alex no no no you go ahead i want to hear what you're about to say oh no i was definitely about to say see this is why we need diligent diligent is like
your algorithmic shock trooper if you need somebody taken out or you need somebody to uh basically be drug along
the timeline pass him on diligent he'll do it and he will do it thoroughly and he will not stop doing
it until it has been done the way no one else has done it before he's almost like lora loomer or
milo yunopoulos except he does it from a i don't know know, from a different angle. You can say that he's
diligent about it.
I wish I could do the mic drop soundboard right now.
Oh, God.
I mean, he's basically going after
botting right now, right?
Isn't that his rampage? He's going after
his baseless botting?
And everything is scorched earth.
There's no in-between with them.
Everything is completely
hyperbolic.
Oh, definitely.
Definitely.
Yeah, going all out.
Something that I would say.
I just thought it was super funny i mean the one tweet i was specifically referring to of him he obviously did like this whole long tweet about body on spaces and all those pieces and
then he like asked grok below hand he's like grok who am i talking about and uh grok answered and so
i thought that that was
pretty funny that he was getting it into it which speaking of which is it just me or have you guys
been seeing 10 000 times more interactions with grok on the timeline these days i feel like it's
like half my timeline i see gork way more than grok nah gork is kind of fallen off I'm going to be honest neither of them are good
no one enjoys
you're totally rubberbanding Alex
yeah
big rugs
sorry
I'll be back in five minutes
yeah you're good I don't feel like i've seen gork as much
gork is owned by x right penny well i don't think there's been any official statements on who owns
gork but it seems pretty obvious to me given that it's been promoted not just by elon but by other
xai employees that they're involved in one way or another. I actually think they're running an experiment
with Gork is my two cents.
You know the reason why I...
Oh, sorry. Yeah, go for it.
No, when Gork first started coming around,
I saw a lot of XAI employees testing it out
or just tagging it and stuff like that.
So I really, really think that it is by XAI.
They're just not talking about it or telling anyone about it.
Yeah, the reason that I believe, I mean,
it has to have some type of connection to X
is because you can't create a four-letter username on X
unless you have backend access from the company.
Noted.
In any... Yeah, yeah i mean you could
speak first two men enter one man speaks first but no in any sense though gork is amazing as far as
alex you just need to shut up till you get to better internet you're rugging so bad the gawk thing though just so you know there's a so they have actually layers of ai internally
within tesla so they have their own like corporate ai they use right with multiple
apis to all these different ais and the point, is that they might be like playing around with,
they have this internal Grok, which they use,
which is much better than the one what we get access to.
So they might be giving us a little bit of the flavor of what they've got,
which is really kind of cool.
Yeah, I think that's exactly what it is.
I think they're experimenting with a newer, more advanced version of Grok,
whether it's 3.5 or something else and i
think that they're actually like uh pre-prompting it to do humor and measuring the amount of
likes and interactions uh to try to teach the ai to do better jokes that's my guess on what they're
doing with gork yeah now with your statement as far as like them testing things out penny um as like a social
experiment this whole thing is a social experiment so like how would you how could you look at it any
other way well i think most people just don't think about it they're like oh this is a bot that
i can make fart jokes with and uh you know that's that's how 99 of people are using it and they're
not thinking about it at all but i know for sure from the top down from xai they've got some strategic reason why they're doing this and
there's a reason why it's not tagged as xai also right like they want there to be some mystery to
it and uh yeah i think they're working on new stuff i mean look looky, who showed up? Diligent in the house. Somebody said my name three times.
And so poof, here I am.
Yeah, it was me.
It was a bot.
You know, one thing, by the way, real quick, before we go into with Diligent that I was thinking about, because we talked so much about bots and botting.
And obviously, Diligent, you had some pretty intense posts about those the other day, which I was alluding to earlier in the space.
you had some pretty intense posts about those the other day which i was alluding to earlier in the
space but now that optimus is coming and they're training optimus off of watching youtube videos
and probably eventually scrolling x funny enough our views actually may end up being bot views but
not the type of bots that you would think of so just a minute to think about gork was a side
project it wasn't part of xai but it is now it's it's kind of funny because if we're really being
honest i'm getting a lot i'm seeing a lot more quality content material as well as interactions
that come from grok and gork than i do from the actual people that use this platform like
people in the bots are actually switching places so it's almost like it's brain drain but at an exponential scale right
now because it just seems like people are getting dumber and dumber and dumber on the timeline
i've started to incorporate grok into my my news spaces so i've had two spaces last two days
around 15 000 people 17 000 people in them and I had Grok as a co-host.
Well, sorry.
Grokian.
Thank Grokian.
Don't want to get flagged for impersonating.
Grokian as a co-host.
And, you know, there's mixed reviews, right?
But as long as you don't, like, have it talk too much, people seem to be okay with it.
And they really want to use it for fact checking
in live searches you should be very careful because google is being sued currently for um
a chat bot they created which um the person suing has said that it assisted in their um
their demise let's put it that way so uh i don't do these ai spaces anymore for a reason man so uh
google's getting sued massively right now by this teen who committed s uh after being coerced by a
chatbot yeah that's not those kind of conversations i'm just saying bro like be careful yeah that's
that's the same that would be like me anybody being in my space um having those kind of
conversations you know i'm just to see where this goes.
And once it gets cleared out,
the other one,
which is really dangerous.
Yeah, yeah.
Don't come up here
trying to rain on my parade, Lumi.
I'm just saying,
don't impersonate
other people's voices as well.
Yeah, I'm not doing that, bro.
I wouldn't do anything like that.
I'm not stupid like that.
What are you talking about?
I'm not doing any of that anymore.
It's dangerous.
And don't buy robes.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's all you doing
that weird shady shit, bro.
I mean, listen.
You're using a voice.
What voice are you using, right?
The default voice.
Okay.
Makes sense.
Well, to be fair.
That sounds like you, Lumi.
That's the end of that.
Oh, boy.
Just make sure that
it doesn't go off the rails.
Diligent, what's been
your focus lately?
Real life.
You know, my kid just graduated high school last week.
I just moved out of Oklahoma the week before.
And I'm about to take my kid on a trip across the country.
Like I promised her, we're going to hop on a road trip.
We're going to head west.
We're going to California.
Washington, Oregon, California, all the states in between from
Michigan to there.
And then, uh, back through again on the Southern end of that.
So, uh, I'll be seeing some of you maybe probably here in the next few weeks, we're
going to be gone for like two or three weeks.
So it should be pretty, pretty interesting trip.
But, uh, other than that, man man i've been focusing on developing some stuff
i was helping um data republican uh get her voice mode and spaces figured out i think i've got that
done and um i built that that grok speaker so so i've been dialing that in and just hosting spaces
i'm going to double down on spaces i'm going to double down on spaces. I'm going to double down on content.
And as soon as I'm done with all of my family stuff, it's going to be all work.
And I want to clear a path for actual creators.
And I think that since all of the, you know, the largest content on the platform is botted,
the only way that it's really going to be as successful as a medium is if all of that shit's gone.
And so that's why I put that post out there.
It's time for a change.
Good luck because, I mean, the bots are getting, like, there's so many different variants.
It's like playing Left 4 Dead.
Like, you got the boomers.
You got the freaking smokers.
Like, there are bots now that if they latch on to you,
they'll literally spam you with news articles related to something that you
said in your comment section.
There's a certain bot that just incessantly DM you.
There's certain bots that, well, there's always a trader bots.
The trader bots have actually evolved now because now they pre-block you
before they make their comment.
I'm talking about spaces, bro.
I'm talking about spaces. Not. I'm talking about spaces.
Not the porn bots on the timeline.
Oh, who the fuck about spaces?
Oh, shit.
I mean, come on.
Let's be honest.
90% of spaces I listen to on this platform
make me want to suck start a pistol.
I'm just...
I mean, I'm being honest.
Whoa, bro.
Bro, Lumi was right.
Shit.
Don't do it, Malcolm.
Don't do it.
Oh, no, no, no. If they're trying to get everyone to boost their posts when they want to
remove all the bots from the platform right so they can make more money like wouldn't they want
to do that but it just seems counterintuitive but they still allow like dark sites to give people
like infinite amounts of influence basically with the slice of like like it costs like two dollars
we i remember we did spaces on this diligent i did the space a hundred thousand people came up
no they didn't i got bot attacked and i still have the space right and the fact is is that that's
actually how they try and remove uh people because i don't do spaces i'm not like trying to do
anything i'm not like diligent i don't actually want to be like
he does real work he does real stuff right i'm not that guy but the point is is that they try
to remove people before they even get a chance because they don't know who is going to be
potentially another diligent because maybe they don't want there to be too many diligence around
and challenge if you say my name one more time now i'm going to disappear so just stop don't do it
don't do it we need them but actually and this is the funniest thing it's so counterintuitive
because you know most a lot of people don't realize a large amount of their followings
especially if they've been around on this platform for a long time are full of bots
and if you try to remove all of your bots which i have done
it puts you in a black hole so to speak because it reads to the algorithm that a bunch of people
are unfollowing this person so it's like i'm talking about like to the tune of tens was that
a racial reference diligent not everything's about race i didn't even i did i even allude to race like
where where where diligent is the race in the room with us right now are we on an amazing race
is it a race to the well actually it is a race to the bottom on this app right now because of
the bots but still is it a race to the freaking bottom wolf's been
killing it in his spaces i see him pulling like a thousand listeners every time consistently i can't
tell if they're about that but i'll just assume no no no we have uh the trading show that's been
running we've been doing that for a few years but we were hosting it on two different channels
on will financial and then also in jordan's and i just hired jordan and just folded it all into one show good job buying the competition

in there trading the market all day every day market open market close every every monday
through friday well not this coming monday because's Memorial Day and the market will be closed.
That would make you the number two organic spaces host on X.
Organic spaces host.
Wow.
Number one for investors.
We've officially hit fitness industry standards.
We have the enhanced and then we have the natties.
Congratulations, Wolf. You're now then we have the natties. Congratulations,
Wolf. You're now a couple of the noble natties. Wait, did you
guys see that they're coming out with
an Olympics in, I think, next
year that's going to be focused on
encouraging people to take... It sounds
like Ozempics. It sounds like Ozempics.
That's a great name to go
by. That's what they should use. Ozempics for losing
weight. These are people who are giving up steroids. No, Ozempics's what they should use Ozempics for losing weight no Ozempics plural
Ozempics
Ozempics is so terrible for it
I watch it
can you imagine some dude just
jacked out of his mind
doing like a javelin throw
isn't that like what
world's strongest man is already
there's no way any of those guys
are natty like if you want to watch the steroid olympics just watch any of that crap or just go
to russia am i weird for not wanting to watch like muscle-bound men in tights throw shit around
like am i yeah you are you literally are where's your gladiatorial spirit jesus it's it's in me i i
exude the gladiator did you guys see gladiator physique
gladiator 2 coolest scene was that shark scene where they flooded the coliseum and they had like
the sharks around the boats is it good i always thought there's like you know those second ones
or those remakes would be crap.
I'm not going to say it's anywhere
near as good as the first. I would say that they had a cool
scene in there. I watched it because I was stuck on a plane
with no fucking Wi-Fi.
So, yeah.
It's about as close as it gets for me to watching things.
Flooding the Coliseum with sharks?
Doesn't that sound ridiculous?
Is that just me?
How would that...
Oh, it's absolutely...
No, it would never have worked.
It just was a really cool scene to watch on TV.
Like, it's all CGI.
But you know, they actually brought rhinos
into the Coliseum back in the day.
And elephants.
Imagine the guy trying to bring a rhino
into a Coliseum.
Like, oh my God, that job's brutal.
All right.
Speaking of the Coliseum,
Mr. Tate's joining up
diligent is this you're doing i know what you're talking about tristan tape he just jumped up on
stage what's up tristan how you doing tristan i don't i don't know tristan i'm good man i know
tristan this is my doing i'm good man i'm just sorry i Tristan. This is my doing. I'm good, man.
Go ahead, Tristan.
Sorry.
I was just listening here once about Gladiator 2, and I thought I'd jump in.
What do you think?
Did you watch it?
What's your review?
Well, let me tell you something.
I'm a fighter, and I'm a mixed-race man.
Black dad, white mom.
There is no way.
I turned the movie off when Denzel Washington got into the river to fight the hero of the movie.
Let me tell you something.
If you're winning the fight and you're beating up some white boy and you're a black guy and he goes into water that is chest deep,
there's not a single brother in the world who's getting into that water to fight a white guy.
I'm telling you, I'm only half black, but white people can swim very well.
That ruined the movie for me,
and that is all I have to say.
Yeah, I can co-sign.
It's kind of like going to fight the enemy on their own turf.
Like, as a black man, I would never.
Yeah, that's so unbelievable.
As a black man with a lot of muscle, actually.
Let me rephrase that.
I would never do that shit.
I sink like a rock.
I'd drown. Like, literally, first step, I'm gone. Fuck it. actually let me let me rephrase that i would never do that shit i sink like a rock i drown
like literally first step i'm gone fuck it wait but but tristan you can sound pretty okay i mean
you're in the yacht out in dubai so i'm guessing you're okay with water
yeah i am i am half white but as malcolm collect correctly said that's the that's the white man's
territory so even i would not get into the water to fight a white boy.
These guys do water polo and synchronized swimming and all this shit.
I'm just not interested.
Nothing I know has been prepared.
The white guys, they're doing the scuba hockey.
It's Olympic sport, just so you know.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's crazy.
But also Denzel's for the known bearer.
Denzel's a veteran actor. Didn't Denzel make out with like five guys in that movie no i don't know it's not your average it's not your average g
yeah but yeah but denzel should have known as as just as an actor he should have said listen
director cut this is too unrealistic even for the scene i'm getting inside this water and fighting
the white boy it really
upset me i think it ruined the whole movie i must have paid him extra i must have paid him extra
jesus christ they're even dei in nature what what else will they do like jesus rupus de niro was
gonna take the job you know i've been looking for my second white person trope uh besides punching
holes in drywall and you guys just gave it to me, the whole swimming thing.
Diligent.
That should have been like the first thing.
I'm actually very disappointed in you now.
That's a lie.
It was actually a while back, but still.
I don't know, man.
They had Denzel kissing up on every dude in that movie
So I don't know if they were trying to go with your
Stereotypical race theory
Whoa
And you guys all watched this movie huh
Like from beginning to end interesting
Yeah it was hot it was sexy
Why is Denzel gay
Why is he gay
Wait Alex does Tristan follow you is that why you came in here?
We'll be all you gay. Yeah, I did them today. We're having some really interesting conversation. Come on through. Oh, well, there you go
Well, I hope he was a overjoyed
I've got like 20 people who look like they all sell Amazon courses requesting to speak right now
700 people
700 people
700 people just joined here because tristan tate was on stage get a fucking life
to listen you guys talk about uh black men and how they swim and don't swim
i think i think he might have showed up because alex talking about people kissing
it was so cool at first wait i don't remember this whole side of that happening in the movie i
feel like denzel i remember him sticking a piece of metal through the emperor's ear and killing him
i don't remember much else director's cut kissing people that was the director's cut
gotta watch oh alex got the deep alex paid for the the the special uh den cut. Got it. Got it. That makes sense.
That's one that they put out at...
You guys don't mind...
You remember Denzel kissing up on dudes in that movie?
Folks, you have a very specific, deep memory of this.
I don't remember that at all.
I think Alex has got a fetish.
No, that's the most pitch, close combat that you can get in a movie.
Right there.
They literally took the dimension.
I insist that we turn this conversation into a heterosexual direction.
All right.
So let's go.
What do you think about this?
Two guys kissing up on each other really hard, tongue and mouth.
What do you think about that, Diligent?
I think Alex and Wolf or Alex and Penny.
All right, Wolf. Let's get the pitch done. I'm talking PPs, I'm talking
buttholes, I'm talking hair.
Pitch at Amazon Prime, guys.
What do you think?
What's that?
What do you guys think about PPs and buttholes?
What did you ask me, Wolf?
Diligent, what's the most heterosexual
movie that you've seen?
The most heterosexual movie
that I've seen, I'm not sure that I can
discuss the title in this setting.
It was the GameStop movie.
Are we talking about
a feature film, or are we talking about...
Okay, yeah. I see where your mind went.
Mine was asking just about, you know,
movies out there, and your men went to porn.
You dirty, dirty bastard.
All right.
Well, I like, you know, you guys are going to think I'm weird.
I like the, what is that?
The gray, whatever the one of gray.
I like that one.
Fifty Shades of Gray.
You like that, like, girl bondage movie or whatever?
Yeah, bro.
Did you read the books, bro?
No, I never read the books, but
you asked me what the... My ex-girlfriend
made me watch that movie, and I was like,
no, I'm not watching it! I'm not watching it!
And then afterwards,
I was like, that's the most heterosexual
piece of film
I've ever witnessed.
So, yeah, I was
corrected.
You're so straight, dude.
You're like the straightest dude here.
All right.
I'm about to make a joke, but I can't.
I can't do it. Oh, my God.
Yeah, you can. Do it. Do it. Do it. Do it.
Okay, now I'm not going
through action. I figured.
Oh, for God's sake. Please?
Action is what he's doing there
um alex okay real quick this is a separate topic i'm just curious because it's been all
over my timeline what's up with this vo video thing why are people making all these videos
have you seen this thing
did you guys hear alex no, I think he's muted or something.
I don't think he's muted, but he just declined.
But, Penny, have you seen it?
I feel like it's everywhere.
DO3?
I haven't used it, but I've seen it.
Isn't it Google's latest video generation stuff?
Well, obviously, given the fact that they get to train off of directly every video uploaded to YouTube in history. I'm
not shocked that they have a dominating video generation thing, but I was talking to someone
like, I don't know, a few weeks ago about when I thought feature length films will be able to be
generated via AI. And I thought we were still a long way away, but given this most recent update
from Google, I don't't know maybe we're getting closer
it's like adding sound and sound effects it's like maintaining the same character throughout
the film and even like dramatic lighting and all of that i mean it's it's really good from what i
can tell uh i think you know just one more example of how close we are to the singularity and
prompting is a big deal for it as well. If you want to make sure things actually look good,
like knowing how to prompt is a big deal for this one.
But average cost about 500 bucks or so.
If you want to put like a, let's say a commercial together,
like as if you were actually shooting
like a high end legitimate commercial,
that's kind of like the pricing model
that it's coming out to right now for you to buy
credits.
So you have to buy credits?
Yup.
Yup.
Soon enough, it's going to be a token and watch it become a cryptocurrency.
You already know it is, bro.
You already know as soon as they put the name out, somebody already tokenized it.
People are trying to get me to make a crypto for
that Grockian speaker I made.
I'm like, no, I'm not going.
Come on, I'll help you advertise it. We'll make
some good money.
Did we lose
Alex and Wolf?
No, I'm here. Action, you going to Vegas next week? Yeah, I'll be there. I Wolf? No, I'm here.
Action, are you going to Vegas next week?
Yeah, I'll be there.
Someone offered to fly me to the BTC thing.
Is that Vegas?
Yeah, you should come, diligent.
Yeah, it's Vegas.
I'll see you there.
I'm leaving.
I'm going on that trip with my kid, but I'm heading that direction,
but I'm not taking my kid to Vegas.
People are like, you're not going to come to Vegas? I'm like, no, I'm not taking my kid to Vegas. People are like, you're not going to come to Vegas?
I'm like, no, I'm not taking my kid to Vegas.
What's wrong with you?
She's 17.
Oh, dude, there's a bunch of things.
There's good parts of Vegas.
Yeah, there's a ton of things to do in Vegas before a 17-year-old.
I'm the boring guy, dude.
I love going to shows in Vegas.
You think I want my kid to see a bunch of fucking strippers and drunk people all over Main Street and whores?
I'm sorry, excuse me.
I'll use a politically correct term.
I apologize. Prostitutes.
Whoa, whoa, whoa. They're sex
workers, okay?
It's been a long time since I was in Vegas,
but it was pretty easy to avoid
all of that stuff if you want to. I could
easily spend a week just
walking around the different
hotels there's like so many different things it is so not like that you'll see little families
walking around and stuff just because other people want to subject their kids to that type of
decadence i'm not i'm not telling you to but you have sort of a caricature you guys are all like
oh it's fine just go be you know expose your kid to more degeneracy. Like she doesn't get exposed to it enough.
No, I'm good.
I mean, diligent has a point.
I mean, they've become strippers somehow.
So, yeah, maybe he has a point.
Yeah, it's not having diligent in their lives.
Prostitution is legal there, right?
Like that is, am I wrong?
Not on the strip.
I've never seen a prostitute.
Not on the strip.
It's not legal.
You can't just like is there not a a an ocean of of of
stripper and prostitute business cards uh all over the place when you get there i mean the point is
that's in concentrated areas diligent it's pretty easy to avoid it it's not like you step into vegas
and you're like flooded by hookers you've been to vegas right no sir no sir
yeah you should come oh okay okay i'm sorry my man this is you gotta go before you can speak
with that much conviction like there's there's definitely levels to this um i think that if you
took certainly yes you're gonna see a little bit more than other places they have they're not even
the most that people are gonna see unless you're going out searching for it is they have like the girls that dress up to try
to get you to take pictures with them that's about it i mean nothing different from what you see in
new york you know uh new york city yeah you go to the beach i'm gonna chime in diligent i live so i
live in downtown austin we see the walking dead all the time and i use it as a teaching lesson
for like my 12 year old and like see
That's what drugs do to you. So take them out. Enjoy Vegas amazing amazing show
Dude, and then when you see something make it a turn like a learning lesson teach them right then and there talk about like
That's what you could become. Okay, honey. This this uber is gonna take you
Okay, honey, this is gonna take you back to the hotel and I will see you there
in about an hour, an hour and a half.
Daddy's got to go get some
rum and cokes.
Oh my gosh.
Maybe Diligent just doesn't want
his daughter to see him in Vegas.
Two things can be true
at the same time.
Any other tankers?
So when is the Bitcoin conference?
It is on Tuesday.
Yeah, and my trip starts six days.
Yeah, I can't go.
I would have to drive.
Is it one day?
Is it a week long?
Is it all week long?
It's two days.
It's two days.
It's Tuesday Wednesday.
There's events going on until Friday, really, because you have Lightweight Summit as well going on.
So there's enough going on.
Yeah.
And you can pick your days.
There's some other stuff.
Yeah.
And I think that also, well, technically it's the 27th to 28th, 29th.
So technically it's three days.
I think the first day is the industry day.
So you need a separate pass for that.
You can come see your hero, Trump and Jadie Vance.
Speak diligent.
It'll be good for you.
But yeah, Vegas should always be an interesting time.
If you add up all the time I've spent in Vegas, I've probably spent around two months in Vegas.
over the last three years, I would say.
Over the last three years, I would say.
A little too much time, if you ask me.
Yeah, they tested too many nuclear bombs around Vegas
for me to stay there more than a day or two, just so you know.
They used to say, come and see the spark or the flash.
It's crazy.
Yeah.
If you are picking out a hotel, though, top hotel list,
the win is number one.
Aria is number two.
I don't think you can go wrong with either of those.
A lot of people have thoughts on number three.
If you're not trying to pay a lot of money, you're trying to go.
I love Paris.
Yeah, that was what I would say.
I was going to say Paris.
Paris, if you don't want to spend a lot of money.
I could see the globe.
That was my view when I last went a few months ago.
You know, funny enough, I stayed last time I was there at Paris and the Fountain Blue, and I liked Paris
better than the Fountain Blue.
I love Paris.
Is it worth driving up Wednesday
morning?
Bro, go to Carlsbad
and just take that semi-private flight
that I'm taking, dude. It's easy.
Here I am talking
about Grand Elf, Florida, $2,000
and you're talking about private jets and semi-private. God, Lee, I am so about $2,000 computer private jets
and semi-private. God, Lee,
I am so out of work. Yeah, if you want to
buy me an extra seat action, I'm happy
to come along. I'll carpool even.
I just can't leave. I got my kids Monday, Tuesday.
I'm looking this up right now.

has like 200 000 followers on Instagram and does like lifestyle videos.
So I said that she'd make a video, which to be honest, is going to do more for them than I could even offer.
So there you go.
That's the way to do it.
But yeah, no, I'm excited.
It's going to come and it's going to clean my place.
And my condo is just, you know, one single floor.
There's no stairs or anything.
So it seems like it could be perfect.
And my condo right now, having just moved in on the past week, is a shit show.
So I could use it right now. I'm not now not gonna lie there's stuff everywhere in here little pieces of particle
board everywhere from the ikea furniture bro and tried my whole living room is full of ikea cardboard
boxes i don't think robotic robots can help you with that part sorry dude i love what i did for
my kitchen table action i don't know i've always
just wanted to do this but of course like i don't know i go to ikea and i go to other places i'm
sitting around like what are these kitchen tables you know they're all just like uncomfortable
uh the seats it's it feels like they try to make like kitchen seats for you to not want to sit
there long term and i'm trying all these things out and i'm like i just don't like these i'm like
i like sitting all day in my computer chair so i just bought a couple of computer chairs uh just like uh desk chairs for my kitchen table
and they're now just you know on wheels rolling and now we just have nice computer chairs i don't
have to deal with those unfortunate kitchen chairs so that was my no that's that's a power
move right there i mean that's what happens at conference room tables why wouldn't you do it at
home that's what i'm saying that's
what i'm saying so i don't know if anybody else has tried that penny what type of chairs do you
have in your kitchen i don't have any chairs in my kitchen dude i stand when i'm cooking in my
kitchen i have you know what's funny i actually have for my table in my living room one of those
like uh costco folding tables that you would normally bring to a campsite.
And then I have really nice chairs. I don't know how to describe them, but my ex bought the chairs
and she's really into design. So like I have these fancy chairs around a Costco folding table.
If you have room, you can bring Julian, the blue collar intellectual up.
Julian, the blue collar. up. Julian the blue collar?
I don't see them.
He's a black individual with a shiny forehead.
I see a few of those, actually.
I don't see
anyone requesting like that, though.
Here, Diligent, I'll just throw you coast.
Oh, he's following me.
I should probably follow Julian back
if you say he's okay.
I saw William just popped up.
What's up, Will? Yo, what's up, saw i saw william just popped up what's up will yo what's
up guys i was literally just like laughing my ass off looking listening to all the conversations i
figured i'd come up and uh say what's up i didn't know you're gonna be in bitcoin vegas uh action
that's freaking awesome man yeah no it's gonna be great dude i was just telling wolf before you got
in like you did a good job on that flux space before this one.
Oh, thank you, man.
What? Dude, you're too kind,
dude. Thank you.
So this is going to be our first time meeting in person, right?
Yeah, I think so. I've met
Cade in person and Sam in person, as well as
Charles, so I think it'll be our first time meeting in person.
I met Mark, so I basically met Will, so it's fine.
Shut up, dude. Fuck you.
Mark and I are not the same
person, bro.
Well, our Airbnb's going to be a little tight.
I hope you're ready.
I mean, if I have to sleep on the floor, that's fine. I'm just going to
try to force Sam to sleep on the floor instead.
I want to share a bed with you.
Yeah, Sam's going to be... Sam's new favorite
derogatory word is pleb.
He's going to be slinging that thing
around Vegas.
What does pleb even mean?
It's short for plebeian.
And if you look up
plebeian meaning, it's
a term from ancient Rome that means
a commoner. Yeah, it's
lower social classes, right?
It's your ordinary person.
I'm okay being called that.
That's such a first world derogatory turd.
Come on, bro.
Plebs.
Is it also plebe?
That's what we call...
I heard it pronounced plebes.
I think that's why I was confused.
Yeah.
Yeah, both ways.
I mean, when you're shortening a word,
I don't know if there's a true, perfect pronunciation
for the shortened version of it, you know?
When everybody else is pronouncing it one way,
you definitely don't pronounce it the opposite.
So I just, you know.
It's Jif.
Okay, pleb is what Google says.
Wait, you just said Jif.
We don't actually acknowledge those statements, Will.
Doesn't it have to be
well if if the g stands for something that's pronounced differently than that
i mean why do you think it's jeff because the guy who invented the word said it's pronounced
jif and he's wrong right but the g stands for graphics so wouldn't it be gif yeah but if you create an acronym you can
pronounce that however the hell you want and everyone else who uses it after you should be
subject to your pronunciation it's your word bro i i love when we get these comments below hand
this guy commented diligent he tagged you it's like a full two paragraph outline of his first
experience in
las vegas with his dad when he was 10 years old these are my comments bro this is these are my
these are the people who come yeah this is true content is it like some dark demented story i'm
very curious no i'm gonna go read it now all right i'm gonna read it i'll read it out loud
please read it a diligent denizen i fondly recall visiting the bellagio hotel in las vegas with my
father at age 10,
where we enjoyed several captivating shows.
The luxury and ambiance of the Bellagio, known for its iconic fountains of Bellagio,
left a lasting impression.
This is totally AI-ridden.
This is totally AI-ridden.
As a premier destination.
Nope.
Riveting.
20 years later, I returned to Las Vegas for a week-long business trip.
Yeah.
He's got a whole bunch of details in here.
The golden steakhouse. I like the descriptive details in here. The Golden Steakhouse.
I like the descriptive words, though.
The language is really beautiful.
It's, like, colorful, you know.
It really gives you a vivid idea of what the Bellagio is like and makes you really want to say it.
Attending a convention and exploring the city's offerings, I experienced an innovative sphere venue,
attended various shows, and dined at the legendary Golden Steer Steakhouse,
established in 1958 and celebrated for its classic charm
and exceptional cuisine.
These experiences underscored Las Vegas' evolution
as a hub for both business and leisure.
What was the props for this guy?
That person works for Vegas.com.
It'd be so great if, right below that paragraph He was like, it almost made me forget about
All the horrific childhood trauma that my father
Induced on me
And now my sister's a stripper
Yeah, four days into the trip
I had forgotten about the beatings
And the
We returned from Vegas
And dad turning in the car note
And us having to drive and take a bus home because he lost everything.
Dude, one of my favorite signs.
My friends had this hanging in their place.
It was an engraved sign that said the beatings will continue until morale improves.
There you go.
You know, just action.
You live by that motto.
I mean, I grew up by that motto, but the beatinganie only stopped when my dad stopped using Coke.
Oh, boy.
Well, welcome to Vegas.
Anyway.
So, Dillard, we'll see you next week, right?
I don't know.
I don't know.
No, probably not because I'm a kid.
He crossed the line.
He said Coke.
Dillard said, hell no, I'm out.
Those days are over.
Those days are long over. Yeah, that was the line there. D, Coke, Diligen said, hell no, I'm out. Those days are over.
Those days are long over. Yeah, that was the line there.
The dark.
Did you say line intentionally?
Was that a pun?
I kind of, that was a pun.
Bro, I hear Coke is amazing.
That's why I don't want to do it.
Thank God.
Bro, I'm in the same direction.
Listen, I may or may not have partaken back in my partying days.
Let me just tell you, don't believe the hype.
Dude, I heard that.
Anytime you do coke, the only thing you want to do is more coke.
So that's what puts me off.
That's the entire intent of that drug is just to make you want more.
So it's not a fun experience.
All right.
I just wrapped this up. It's not a fun experience. I do have to wrap this up.
Cocaine is drastically overrated.
Sorry, people.
I've got to wrap up at the top of the hour.
I've got to record a podcast.
I'm sure it has nothing to do with the turn of the conversation.
I was going to say my favorite
cocaine-related scene
from movies was in
