Alright, let's get it, though. Everybody wants to know what's happening. Arms spread way too thin.
What's the big rush now?

Tell me why you're rushing.
Why you rushing?
Why you rushing? Why you rushing.
Well, everybody's calling.
But I just need some time.
I just need some room to breathe again.
Better clear my mind.
You don't need to be here.
All up in my face.
You need to find the fine solution to put you in your place.
I say, hey, I got a lot to say to you.
Here we'll let you say it's not true.
So this is what I'm gonna do.
Look at me, I'm gonna let you know.

Oh, arms spread way too thin
One-star, big-lushin' up
Tell me why you're rushing
Why you rushing
Why you rushing
But this has got to twist it
In the best kind of way.
You put me down when I'm not a frown and then you smile at my face.
You don't need a home, no.
What you need is a cage.
I bottled up all of these emotions, baby, monster up the face.
I said, hey, I got a lot to say to you
It seems you've got something to prove
So this is what I'm gonna do
Look at me and I'm gonna tell you so
Ah, ah, I'm straight way too thin
Everybody wants to know what's happening
Ah, ah, I'm straight way too thin
What's the big push? Now tell me why you're a kid I said, hey, I got a while, let me breathe. No, it's not my style.
I said, hey, I got a lot to say to you.
Hear what you say, it's not a time.

Look at me, I'm going to let you know.
Oh, I'm spread way too thin.
Everybody wants to know what's happening.
Oh, I'm, way too thin
What's the big rush?

I love that one
That one's a good one
A favorite of mine
Hang on a second I love that one. That one's a good one of favorite of mine.
Hang on a second.
Blinking new time.
Put you away from that.
And you don't got to listen to the ad.
You know what I'm saying?
The hell do you think this is?
I'm going to play Coffee and Enjoy it, and I'm going to play that last little.
The other track's only a minute.
It's kind of just a funny, more or less.
But yeah, I'm going to play Coffee and a Joint, and we'll play that other track, and we'll get going over here. I got this feeling inside, can't find no balance in my mind.
I must be missing a point, I need a coffee and a joint. I got this feeling inside, can't find no balance in my mind.
I must be missing a point, I need a coffee and a joint. Coffee and a joint, coffee
and a joint. Coffee and a joint, coffee and a joint. Coffee and a joint, coffee and a joint.
Coffee and a joint, coffee and a joint. I'm higher than an F-16 at Walgreens. Trying to find some
eye drops in a bottle of Listerine. Well, I miss the clean when I step on the scene.
But yo, how did it get here?
And what is this on me?
The last thing I remember was way back in September.
Oh, Johnny had it groovy.
It was groovy, full of pleasure.
But I probably didn't measure the amount I should have taken.
Now I'm standing on the ceiling and it's feeling got me quaking.
Yeah.
I stick to bacon with my better crocker, baby.
We dish out the lecternables a year.
They tasty so here.
It's amazing.
Now come and get the sights.
And if they try to take my herb, I'll say.
Take my wife.
But Kevin, you're not married.
Oh shit, it's getting scary.
I'm mixing up my history.
My memories are buried.
And I don't have a clue what's real or imaginary.
So take ye my children, cause this story's cautionary.
I got this feeling inside. Can't find no balance in my mind.
I must be missing a point, I need a coffee and a joint.
I got this feeling inside, can't find no balance in my mind.
I must be missing a point, I need a coffee and a joint. Coffee and a joint, coffee and a joint, coffee and a joint, coffee and a joint, coffee and a joint, coffee and a joint, coffee and a joint, coffee and a joint, coffee and a joint.
I was standing in the corner of the kitchen by myself, eyeing up the pop brownies on the top shelf.
I'm thinking maybe just a nibble to do
but i didn't eat dinner so i gobbled down too
yeah we're too high to function i'm feeling like a clown at a funeral luncheon.
I'm a goner.
Man, I've reached my mouth.
I want a maximum consumption.
Well, goddamn hors d'oeuvre through my knife over a curve.
But I could be the hero that this party deserves.
So I boot and rally, sink the last cup.
Turns out it was my team's cup.
Fuck.
I got this feeling inside. Can't find no balance in my mind.
I must be missing a point.
I need a coffee and a joint. Coffee and I need a coffee in the joint coffee in the joint coffee in the joint coffee in the joint coffee
in the joint
yo yo all right i got this i got this last one right here.
It's just a minute.
It's not too crazy.
I'm gonna finish rolling up my joint, and we'll get ready.
It's called Friday, bitches.
The tech might even know this one, actually.
It's an intro for a radio show that I know of, but here it is.

Friday. So you know how I do. I kind of had to turn up. I guess it's not so much
anymore now that I do the live stream on Friday. But yeah, it is what it is. How's everybody doing
today? I hope you all spend some time with the fam when you get the chance, educating yourselves,
eating well. You know, you gotta do all that shit for yourself. Make sure. It's important. It's part of the journey.
Yeah, we're gonna get started.
Big man's over here.
I'm gonna finish rolling on my doobie real quick.
We gotta wait for the sleepyheads to roll out of bed.
You know what I'm saying?
I was a sleepyhead too.
We got decoop in the DMV
coming in at 11 now. It's 11 a.m. He's coming. He thought we were starting the space at one.
So he was like going to come for 1 p.m. My time, EST. You know how we do. Yo, what up D-Man? I see you over there and Linda. Hello, Linda
Appreciate y'all for stopping through
Yeah, dude, this is
Shit
This is probably one of my favorite times of the week to be honest with you. I mean, I love the tuesday podcast and all that shit, but
favorite times of the week to be honest with you i mean i love the tuesday podcast and all that
shit but thursdays it kind of hits home for me man i have some irl homies that i'm trying to get up
here working out with their schedule and shit and that music shit dude there's not an we can't
spread enough light on these musical artists that don't get recognition you know and i want to make
that happen any way shape or form that i can I know I ain't got a huge platform.
You know what I'm saying?
But even a few extra heads, man, for that person to see or for them to see that person.
You never know.
Music does crazy things.
You can save somebody's life with music, bro.
You really can.
It's one of those immaculate conceptions, you know?
Can you guys hear that?
A little ASMR.
Breaking up some bud.
Shit.
My bad.
I get, when I'm rolling a doobie, I kind of, like, hyper-focus on the doobie.
Yeah.
I know.
It's tough.
I, like, blank out for a minute while I'm doing it.
And I'm like, uh.
Oh, shit.
Where's Crypto Stoner?
Where is this guy?
No, no, no.
I hope he says the same type of shit when I'm a couple minutes late too.
Because I'm just playing.
But like, it makes me feel good saying it.
Shit.
All in all, dude.
Every day, I hope you all get to, you know, live happy, safe lives.
And that's all that really matters to me.
If it's fucking
four people that are here or a thousand people that are here, the biggest question, I made a
post about this a long time ago. I say a long time ago, but when I first started my ex,
I was like, if I lost, uh, if I woke up and only had a hundred followers or I woke up and only had
a thousand followers or had skyrocketed to a thousand followers at the
time. Um, I'd ask myself one question and it's the same question either way. It's, uh, are they
real? You know what I mean? Are they real people, not just bots? Or are they like people who took
the time to actually read and see what you got going on? You know, and it means a lot, dude. Or like in my case, I'm,
I'm not going to lie to y'all. I am not the greatest reader. I can read. I can write. I'm
not the greatest reader. I'm not the greatest writer in the world. Um, I have a good imagination,
but at the end of the day, I really like to hear y'all voices. I like to hear what you got cooking in
your projects. I like to hear what's going on IRL. And that's the stuff that really keeps
big man ticking, you know, them little things in life. That's all that really matters to me, bro.
Sorry, again, I'm almost done over here, fam, and then you're going to hear me spark it up and all that jazz. D-man's over there, probably on his way to work right now, blowing smoke too.
Fucking Rick and Stoner are going to show up and be like who died it's so silent here that's what happens when big man's all alone i just you know focus on what i'm doing i can't help it
focus on what I'm doing.
I can't help it.
Yes, dude, we got a...
It's a lot of the strays up in the house today, too, bro.
We had four waitlist spots go away for them last night.
I hope them people hit them up,
because we're on, well, two days left now.
I believe yesterday was three days.
Today, it's two days. now, I believe. Yesterday was three days. Today it's two days.
You know what I'm saying?
Yo, what up, D-Man?
I see you, buddy.
Lonely.
You're so lonely.
Lonely.
What up, big man?
Yo, that was killing, dude.
You came in with the right beat, too.
You know what I'm saying?
Shit, just want to shout out to you guys. I'm already here
at work and shit, but fuck the
boss. I'm the boss. You know what I'm saying?
Turn around, the boss is standing right behind
you. You know what I'm saying?
He's all like, D-Man,
why you late? I said like, shit, I
got hit when I could you know my mother
Yes, sir, dude, you know
Yeah, what are you guys doing? I probably got up to you guys and shit
Yeah, buddy. Yeah, buddy. So we're gonna be we got D coop from the D in the DMV coming today
He gonna come and jam out for us. He said he's got a good sound system for spaces too.
So I'm kind of excited for that.
But go figure.
Like, oh man.
Since Klay Jean, dude, I don't think we've had a bigger Thursday space.
Out of body space was pretty big too, but.
Yeah, dude.
All right, all right.
That way I don't spark it up real quick i'll wait for the for the
beats oh yeah yeah he's supposed to be coming in around 11 a.m est time so it's about another
half hour so give gives me a little bit of time to run the space up give y'all some time to share
it let your friends know drop it in the discords and the alpha chats you got you know what i'm
saying if you were you're a real one over there i see you i see you i i know people been getting
rid of the the x chats because x is supposed to be getting rid of chats i'm gonna be honest with
you all i think that that's a load of uh load of fud i don't think that they're really gonna do
that i think it's more or less just them trying to cut down on the bots that are in there doing that stuff right
but we'll see we will see i think it's good to have precautionary measures
i think uh i think it's good to have a discord and i think it's good to have a telegram and all
this other stuff to different platforms right like the
way crypto fam does it he does uh an email list so that even if x goes down even if telegram goes
down all this other shit yeah dude so what basically if you sign up for their newsletter
they that email address that you use to sign up for the newsletter will get other like um
promotionary things or stuff like that. Obviously, I think you
have to click the little box to say you want other promotionary stuff, but I'm not really sure. I
haven't, I haven't signed up for the newsletter, actually. I probably should. He'd be pop. I see
him kind of, kind of weekly, almost day to day, kind of, so I, I forget about the news aspect, sorry, I'm
over here licking my paper and shit, sealing up my doobie, but yeah, dude, we cooking today,
we cooking, I'm excited to meet my mans over here, D-Cop and the DMV. I like the name, honestly.
It's kind of, it reminds me of, every time I hear DMV, actually, it reminds me of Zootopia with the sloth and shit.
But I think you're going to be a good one today, boy.
You know what I'm saying?
We got a good sound system popping through, which is great.
Space is a fucking hella trash for that most of the time.
So to hear that he's got a setup for it, I'm pretty excited about.
And he was asking me some questions on the back end, kind of like how it goes down.
You know, it's just like AMA, can't play some music.
I was like, yo, it's a little bit of everything, man.
We do a little AMA, you play some music, you tell us how you got into Web 3.
Shit, you tell us what you're having for dinner tonight.
I don't care, my guy.
It's about you.
That's what the show's for.
Big man got to slide some shit over so i can sit on my little comfy chair instead
just sitting on this ottoman rolling my doobie my ass hurts
so it's like dope said it to me the other day in the space he was talking about it and um i think it was a pup space and doom piles dude i didn't i didn't realize it was such a thing like piling up all kinds of shit
like you're you're um whether it's like your mail or the trash or a pile of socks whatever the hell
it is just piling it up until it becomes a big task that you like all right you can't ignore
it but it's not even just that it's that the bigger task gives you more dopamine bro so like
your brain's just like yeah fuck all these little tasks with the little dope hits it's like nah
just save it just keep saving it and then eventually one day you have like that existential
dread about it and you're like oh my god this has to get done and then you one day you have like that existential dread about it and
you're like oh my god this has to get done and then you bang it out in five ten minutes and
then your brain's like whoa dopamine overload baby it's insane dude i was like that's nuts but
now that i know it though and i have a name for it bro it's gonna be a lot easier to stay focused
and like move through it right and past it and stuff and I mean I'm all for living the way you want to live too as long
as it's productive and doesn't hurt anybody but I see you down there the mad queen I see you the
oysters too what up oysters it's nice to see you in a space, my guy. Whose was it?
I'm trying to remember whose space it was that I connected with, John, that I actually heard your project.
I heard what you guys got going on. The Launchpad-style platform with a non-arbitrary rarity system, right?
I love that. You pick the traits that you want, and then based on that is what's going to determine the rarity system right i love that like you pick the the traits that you want and then based on that is
what's going to determine the rarity and you know it's pretty wild for sure dude if you want to talk
about oh hang on sorry i know it's connecting and shit yeah sorry i knew it was connecting um
for sure though my guy if you want to talk about what you guys are cooking a little bit
well you could definitely have the mic for a minute oh yeah what's good no i just
definitely wanted to say come say what's up i was talking to um to do yesterday and um you know he
had me inspired a little bit to like get my notebook written like every you know everybody's
spaces for the day and start hopping in you know two three four spaces because we have joe as well
that you might know who does like the the outreach and stuff like that for setting up all of the uh projects that are going to be minting in the beta phase on the
the kosher launch pad um like we talked about i don't remember whose face it was that we
that we met in honestly it was it it wasn't ours dragon yeah dragon punks Dragon Punks and Us and Quack Life and one other project I can't remember.
And I didn't know any of those projects.
And I had met them all that day.
I have no idea whose face it was, though.
It's crazy.
Oh, wasn't it Dew?
It was Dew.
It was CryptoFan.
I think it was CryptoFan Radio.
Yeah.
And Joe had known them before.
And then I, yeah, it was.
Cool.
That's awesome.
And, you know, we had went up there and talked a little bit about our projects and stuff like that
but yeah um i mean just to like run it down like in 10 seconds we have uh the oysters project that
we've been working on for a while and um you know we went through like crazy market turbulence
and it was 2023 we had developed this technology that basically lets you create your own character.
We were going to do it as a one-off kind of project.
And then, you know, work on the IP because the guy who does the artwork for,
had done all the attributes and traits for the oysters is from,
he worked for Nickelodeon for like 20 years of his career.
He was a professional animator.
So we're going to kind of build on that and like a potential art studio-esque like you know ip play i guess you could call it um but then the market was
really turbulent and stuff like that so we took the create your own character and we added the
layer of organic rarity onto it um which i mean that that was the whole idea in the first place
was you they're going to come in they're going to build their oysters the mentors are going to build their oysters our community um and then basically uh determine
it on scarcity uh their rarity outcome is going to be automatically assigned organically um through
these algorithms that these devs have built for us so um you know basically that means that like
the most common attributes are the ones that are chosen the most and then the rarest or the, you know, the most scarce.
So it's kind of like traditional collectibles. And we actually like went through a period where the market was really far down.
We were like, OK, well, you know, I don't I was personally I was like, I don't think we can mint out six thousand oysters.
I don't know. OK, well, it dropped the supply now all the way.
It's like, well, that doesn't really meet the standards of what we want to do as a company um because we
have kosha.lol and our bio is the launch pad that we're creating we haven't really worked on the
socials as much with with kosha yet because may 7th is looking like the date that it's going to
be totally complete and then we're going to go to minting pushing out the oysters and then the beta
stage all the other projects but um so the socials aren't great yet no don't get me wrong but um kosher creations is a company it's a
united states based llc so we had that company right and we were like well minting the oysters
you know we could do it in the down times in this market we were building we're building a community
we have like 4 000 you know people on our discord for example and stuff like that a lot of whom you
know are still sidelined you know silent and just waiting for the mint and um we were like well you know i didn't
think i was like i don't think we can mint down 6 000 and i tease a price point that makes sense
for us to keep on you know pushing this company keep on building this and we didn't want to build
something that was you know you know mint it and three months later it's you know the community's
dumped everything and it's dead you know that kind that kind of happens a lot. So we've decided to go fully on into the launch
pad. Now we have a system where, you know, organic rarity, create your own character.
Deployers can seamlessly upload all their attributes, all their traits, and then their
communities, their mentors can come in and build those, you know, their own characters and get
that gamification, that sentimental value to their NFTs and drive demand through the organic rarity rankings, you know,
should bring back, help bring back like rarity hunting and some of the manipulation in the
market where founders choose their own, you know, choose their rarity and they can move
NFTs around into their different, you know, wallets or like a shadow presale is what I call it,
you know what I mean? 2000, 6,000 of the 10,000 NFTs, for example, are already in two wallets.
You know, with Kosher Creations, you know, we have something called MetaView Plus is what Joe likes to call that.
You have a ton of different parameters that these founders are basically able to set.
Just kind of the same.
It's similar to LaunchMyNFT or even Magic Eden.
You know, Magic Eden down the line with the Ad Marketplace, we could compete with them. set um just kind of the same it's similar to launch my nft or even magic eden um you know
magic eating down the line with the marketplace we could compete with them but launch my nft
except we have everything they do except we also have organic rarity and then we have metaview plus
so they can basically see all of the metadata the mentors can see all the metadata all the
parameters that the founders have set everything um and it may get very because you know one of
the problems with i'm talking for a while one of because you know one of the problems with i'm talking for a
while one of the problems are one of the problems with blockchain space now you know is that with
meme coins and everything too a lot of people don't even know they're getting dumped a lot of
people don't even know how to get to the first couple transactions like lp creation and then
where the lp you know the people who bought first you know they don't know the quick ways to go
about those things so we're trying to create the most transparent platform metabook plus co-creator studio you know gamification
thinking out of the box innovative down the line we want to do we've also got the token tethering
stuff so it's it's pretty cool you can if you're a meme coin community or if you're an nft that
already has the utility token you're minting your second collection or if you're um you know or a
smaller collection or if you're a meme coin that wants to launch an NFT project, we have these token tethering
options. So you can actually tether your price of your meme coin to a lower price than what it
would be for just using Sol, for example, or just using Swede. It's, you know, for example,
like with ours, we'll probably do $19.99 or something like that. And we'll partner out.
We were thinking about this.
Like, you know, I'm not 100% sure yet, but partner up with a token, a bigger token community.
Maybe something that has, you know, tens of thousands, 30,000, 40,000, 50,000 followers. So we can get some promotions and marketing off of it as well.
Have it be $19.99 for paying in that token and then have it be $25 in Seoul, for example.
So, yeah.
I mean, there's a lot more cool stuff to talk about with it,
but, you know, I could talk about it for hours on end.
So, yeah.
But definitely, guys, you know, if you're one that you're listening here,
thanks for coming, and, you know,
thanks for listening to me spiel for a little bit.
And, you know, shout out to Big Man X,
and hop in our Discord.
Shoot us, follow as well.
Definitely follow you guys back.
Love to connect.
Yo, for sure, my guy.
And if you have something recent that you'd like to pin up, you definitely can pin something up over there about it. does follow as well that would follow you guys back love to connect yo for sure my guy and if
you have something um recent that you'd like to pin up you definitely can pin something up over
there about it um i kind of if you don't that's fine i'll just go over to your page and grab
something over there i normally grab the first thing that's up just so people can navigate to
your page safely and then once they're at your page i always encourage everybody to use the
official links on the project page because there's a lot of fake stuff that happens and a lot of fud that goes around and with what you guys are cooking
man i'd hate for that to happen and um not i don't want to water it down at all either but it almost
sounds like to me you guys have like a pfp builder type ui like you know you got a few boxes on one
side and you got your main picture box on the other side and you can scroll through and pick your traits.
Right. But then it tracks what traits are being used.
So that's pretty fucking sweet that it's not like like you said, it's not just a dev created rarity system.
It's literally market driven rarity, which is pretty unique in my opinion.
I like that idea.
Do you guys have any, like, so I know it's a launch pad.
I know it's the collection.
But, like, let's say it does, it shoots your expectations all the way through.
Like, you know, you hit the stars.
You do what you need to do.
You guys mint out really fast.
Are there any, like, other things that we can um expect as a holder like
obviously you guys are big community engagers and stuff as well so i know that that's there too but
uh like maybe a tokenomic system or future token gated things or just you know a few things
yeah i mean um that's definitely like my ultimate goal i've been you know building we've
been building this for for two almost two years now because i think we're sitting on kind of a
gold mine with the concept right and that's you know how it came about in the first place was it
was literally just conceptualization and then finding and building the team you know bringing
in devs bringing in ryan um from nickelodeon bringing in you know some other people to actually
go and execute on that concept and like that's what I like to think about in the same way as on a bigger scale as well.
You know, once we mint the oysters, that's the Genesis collection, then we go to the
beta stage where right now we have like, I think six or seven other projects.
So if you guys are, you know, any main point founders potentially replaying this or listening
or in the audience right now, or any NFT project founders that want to mint a smaller, you
know, prototype collection and see how that could work with organic rarity, you know, feel free to contact us. We're trying to collect
maybe 20, maybe to 25 beta stage projects that will come in and mint. And that will probably
be around late, later June. We're probably minting the oysters here in about a month as we have the
May 7th timeline for the tech. Then after that, so, you know, I like to think of these things
kind of in roadmap, you know, but actually more specifics right and with q3 q4 so you know after that we're going
to uh i mean obviously it's a tech startup so i'll talk a little bit about like what we're doing
tech wise so we're going from solo and then we're going to be able to uh we're basically moving to
sui try to capitalize on the niche markets there and this is more kosha stuff and i'm getting
oysters but um you know we're moving to sui then after sui we're going to try to build uh evms in basically i want to have
a kosha app and this is something that you know joe always gets mad at me for talking about because
it's not really public kind of information it's when we haven't released like an official roadmap
but just so you know um before you say that it is a recorded space too so people can't go back
okay okay yeah no no no i'm not pressing as bad as
he wants but the um yeah i want to definitely have like a like a coach app basically where
eventually we build that into uh into a marketplace but the first and foremost thing that i want to
build tech wise is have it be so um if you know of like on-chain ramp for example i want to basically
have it on our coach app or either we work with or we build it ourselves, or we have a system where people can come in and they can create
their account with a credit or with a username and password simply, being able to skip all the
hoops that you have to jump through as like a new Web3 user and have that automatically generate.
Yeah, have that automatically generate them a wallet. And then if they want to pay with their
credit debit card, they don't have to go through all the seed phrase
and all the different things that might turn them off.
You know what I mean?
A lot of new users get on Windows Web 3 and they're like,
oh, you could lose all your money if you forget one word in your seed phrase.
So that's something.
Yeah, we actually, we have some base fam, Decentral Bros.
They built in the ETH Denver Buildathon and integrated and integrated straight payment systems so that's what they did they integrated the stripe abi into their um into
like an nft minting system essentially so all you have to do is put in an email um a credit card and
then boom it handles all of the blockchain stuff on the back end they They're on bass network as well. Um, as well as abstract is there,
abstract says they're, they, they technically their own ID, but they're, they're all EVM
compatible and it's the same type of documentation that was used for bass. So it's pretty cool. I
love that concept, man. And, um, I think that's really good for retail. Sorry to cut you off on
it too. I just kind of wanted to add that little bit in there no yeah um no i definitely love i've actually just got an abstract for the first time
with the drag connected with dragon punks and they got me pretty interested in abstract now
i got a wallet i've been farming bitcoin but amongst other things but um yeah no and then
for the oyster specifically like joining in the community um one of the cool things that we've
done is since we are a united states-based company we've gotten we've partnered up with hyatt hotels windham there's a conglomerate
called active and fit which is gold's gym planet fitness 24-hour fitness and a couple other gym
chains in there as well it's um there's a couple other ones i think lifetime fitness is in there as
well and basically when you mint your oyster you're basically get a QR code and it's $28 a month.
So instead of paying, let's say $50, $70 a month for a gym, one of the nicer gyms in your city, if you're traveling often for work, you can use your QR code with the oyster to scan.
I kind of compare it to like a Costco card in your wallet.
You can use that QR code on your phone to scan into any of those gyms hassle-free.
You also get 10 or 12,
I'm not exactly sure the exact specifics of it,
but discounts on those hotel chains
that we've partnered with,
kind of like affiliate marketing,
but it's not really affiliate marketing.
We even go through any of their portals
or anything like that.
And then we actually got a travel agent
from Expedia as well to work with us.
So that's going to agent from Expedia as well to work with us. So that's
going to be cool. Expedia stuff you need, you know, if you're setting up trips and things like
that, just to encourage people to, you know, get active, mentally healthy. And, you know,
the goal is add more official companies onto that. So our holders can have that kind of utility
package as well. And then the one thing that I want to do that's you know kind of tokenomics based but
i do want to have a kind of like a patreon collectible basically where you're able to
with the oysters this isn't like set in stone or anything this is just something that i've
conceptualized is that having like a your oyster be able to have a pearl in its mouth so we might
do either with the kosha tech maybe a re-oll kind of system. Obviously, there's so many
doors that are open when you have the organic rarity system in place. We could go to trait
swapping kind of or a pool where people who have, because there's also a randomizer button basically
where if you randomize your NFT, you have a chance at winning one of the one of ones in the
collection. And this is for all the collections. If they want to create one of ones, the randomizer system either gives you a totally random NFT. You void
your chance to build your own NFT, but you might get one of the one of ones that might be a higher
price or, you know what I mean? Whatever you want to consider that. And then if those people don't
get the one of ones, they get a totally random NFT. So then I was thinking we could have a pool
basically of the attributes that they could go through and select the attributes they don't like. And then if there's,
you know, let's say 500 people doing that, all those attributes would go into a pool
and then they would be able to go and recreate their oyster based off other available attributes
and then pay, you know, then we have to get into, that's more dev work, getting into how you can keep, have it not affect the actual overall price as much, but still change your rarity ranking slightly.
And the difference, it wouldn't be that hard, right?
The only thing they would have to pay is the difference, really, which shouldn't be, unless the price, unless the collection is massive, you should have basically a chance to be able to do that on a
smaller scale like the same thing that we've done with building the nft but on a you know smaller
scale with those traits and create markets inside of the markets which i think is something that nft
space is definitely lacking is like having a organic aspect organically economic aspect to
every single part of their ecosystem so i agree with you on that yeah and then building you know
trade swapping and stuff like that so um probably do forgetting some other stuff too
both of the sorry to cut you off too just a little bit to add to that the both of those
are pretty cool concepts because the trade swapping allows that third market sale ability
as well as well as the randomization thing, right?
Or that like, like you said, people are forfeiting their chance to build one, but they have the chance to get the one of one traits and stuff. And as well as promoting a trait swap afterwards, it sounds similar to, the idea sounds similar to Tradify.
I don't know if you've heard of that, but they're pretty cool.
I like the way you guys are approaching it, though.
The whole kosher idea is pretty sweet.
And you seem...
Sorry, what stories I'm looking for here?
You're keeping up with the times on it, so to say.
As the technology is progressing, you guys seem to be looking at that and being like, how can we grow with that, right?
Instead of just sticking to the main vision that we have right now, let's grow into that NFT field and let's bring certain marketability back.
And I'm kind of about that myself, honestly, when it comes to the marketability of NFTs.
of about that myself honestly when it comes to the marketability of nfts it it's kind of crazy
when some of these collections like even some free collections that mint out like what they end up
selling for on aftermarket like on magic eden and stuff like that and i think we could see more of
that but not necessarily skyrocketed pricing right like actual collectability like v friends like you see the real
it's like a trading card at that point right and now there's real value behind it not just an
arbitrary number because somebody bought it based on a previous buy which could have been traded
like could have been a dev just buying and selling stuff right and now it's like no i want that one because it symbolizes
me and it also has like this cool trait that i wanted and like there's just so many different
aspects or you could be like oh i wanted that one because i want to swap that one of these traits
out with this trade over here and then that'll make this like the most epically rare thing in my wallet.
Like it's just there's so much customability to it.
I'd like to.
I think like one of the things that we have to do as NFT, and this has been my kind of vision for the long term, is like if we can get, you know, our beta stage with 2025 projects, we can start a movement.
You know what I mean?
Inside the NFT space, like if it's everybody saying that it could be a golden bull run, you know, we'll see what happens with altcoins and memes and things like that. Obviously, that's going to contribute to it. But NFTs as well, you know, everybody's been thinking that for the last couple of years,
you know, at some point, NFTs will come back, right? This isn't a one-off thing. To do that,
you know, we have to bring, like you said, bring back collectability, right? And wanting to
actually collect something for its, you know, for its scarcity in the market. And I think that, yeah, the system encourages that certainly that it can't, you know, fix every single problem, but it can start to create a new kind of atmosphere of like, yeah, innovation, like free market, free market innovation.
So collections can come in and then they can build their utilities on top of what, because you can't, for me, the problem, one of the problems has kind of been that you have a situation where um collections will come in and they'll mint and they'll mint
out based on one you know how much hype they have on twitter right like if they're getting tons and
tons of people looking at them which isn't really that hard you know you can easily pay for
advertisements for boosts and things like that and get your views up to you know tens of thousands
10 000 views or something like that by dropping you know 500 bucks or something like that right and
then you could have a ton of people come in your spaces people even you know about their engagements
and things like that to try to get people to come in and buy their things but they're not inherently
collectible and you have situations where you know then those people would want to you know
dump and then they'll say oh we're on admission to this floor price or that well you know if it's actually scarcity based and they want to collect it for the
sake of one collecting and two being able to have that connection to their to their nft and then on
top of that you know in instead of the just the utility package being the thing because a lot of
people will create a token and have the utility token in their ecosystem and then promise that
that utility token
is going to be used for rev share or x y and z and you're going to be able to earn money and make
your money back that you spent for the nft we think of it more in terms of value in terms of
how much money can we get you guys to basically save on other things with the things like you
know hotel and gym packages um you know and then but if you you know if you have 25 projects that are all building under that same umbrella,
I think those projects have pop-off potential
because those people,
then their users are collecting based on scarcity.
And unless you have a situation where,
and if nobody can get 1,000 of the 6,000 NFTs
into their wallet,
unless they drop a ton of money,
then they can't really,
there's nobody that they're really dump on you at all. I mean's the what happens like you know i don't see it as much with
nfts but you have people with 5 000 of 10 000 you know nfts in their thing and then they insta sell
or they they quick sell on magic eden they'll give you the option to quick sell you know for
you know 0.9 soul if your floor price was 0.5 1.5 so you sell a thousand of them now the floor price
is down to one soul and then everybody's you know like uh crap i just lost 0.5, so you sell a thousand of them. Now the floor price is down to one soul.
And then everybody's, you know, like, uh, crap.
I just lost 0.5 soul, you know?
So I don't know.
It's like, how can we start that conversation again?
No, exactly.
And I really like that you guys are bringing IRL capabilities. That's something else that reminds me of Decentral Bros.
So they brought a lawnscaping company and a thc company um on chain basically if you
have one of the wrap d bros or two of the wrap d bros nfts i forget how they do it which are
financial instruments too so you wrap a hundred thousand d bro in um in that you uh into the nft
the nft has a one percent like um unwrapped tax which goes to the ecosystem but they have like a tiered system based on those
nfts where you have access to all kinds of different utility bots the the couple irl
things that i was just mentioning i'm going to continue to mention um and just a few other
things and you can also stake the dbro over there too they're all on base but what's really cool is
with the irl companies is they're doing exactly
what you're saying like if you have two of the rap d bros nfts or one whatever i'm not exactly
sure the specifics but you can get like a certain percentage off of your lawn care for the whole
season or and you don't have to forfeit those nfts either like you just hold on to them they
they check it verifies yep they have the nfts good to go and what's really cool is integrating
that with the stripe technology is now somebody can go on and use an email address their credit
card get a couple of raft dbros nfts and then probably with that same account even pay the
lawnscaping company you know i mean if the lawnscaping company wanted to take those types
of payments i think they just do the discount and what's cool about that is that they didn't have to pay out of pocket to offer that discount
dbros took it off the build so like it's kind of like a win-win for everybody dbros gets it out
there and these guys don't have to pay extra to give people a discount on what they have you know
so i'm pretty excited to see where that goes there was something else you'd mentioned in there too that i wanted to touch upon but
i forget what it was one thing is like you know with um with creating you know a collection and
like keeping up because it's hard right to keep up like hype for your collection after i mean we've
seen it time and time again like the classic classic example is, you know, DGods.
They've, you know, they have their collection, right?
People did have like a sentimental connection to it.
You know, they really enjoyed the artwork.
The artwork on DGods was dope.
It was dope in 2021.
It's dope now.
But they've, you know, had a situation
where they haven't really been able to drive that demand
for new buyers or bring new people in to say,
okay, well, I'm, because then they had such a high floor price. It's like, I don't really know what no one's really going to
come in and say, I want to drop eight grand on this NFT. I want to drop five grand or whatever
it was at the time on this NFT. And so then they went and they migrated to different chains to
kind of create like, like demand events, almost like liquidity events, right? Where people were
like, okay, well, then I could come in on this different chain and then you have FUD come in. like demand events almost like liquidity events right where people were like okay well then i
could come in on this different chain and then you have fud come in and uh it's just it's just
tough right and then other communities will go the route of um you know either trying to partner up
or i think that this is one thing that's done not as well as it should be um getting their characters
like into games to bring those other communities you you know, kind of into their ecosystem as well.
I mean, you could do like you could do, you know, as many poker tournaments or gaming, you know, you know, tournaments or giveaways as you want.
But like, you know, if your demand isn't, you know, if your demand doesn't have the right, you know kind of like not tokenomics but the kind
of like ecosystem around it then it's going to be tough to retain all those people to get them to
keep coming back to your discord get them to keep coming back to their you know eventually nowadays
you have situations where you know it's just been lots and lots of pump and dumps man like i you
know i don't know really what else to say about that.
It's tough.
No, you're right.
The devs haven't been as wholesome as they should be, right?
And then there's nothing there.
Or even if they have been trying to, there wasn't a creative mechanism there to keep the people engaged naturally within the system itself, right?
You could have a simple launch my NFT fucking collection if you really wanted to but if you set up your community right and you set up bounties or tasks or all kinds of different
things throughout your your um your project you have that longevity you have that word of mouth
that goes around like dude i minted this thing and i didn't even know it but there was a 0.5
soul bounty on it dude you know what i mean? Or a whole soul bounty, whatever.
And we've seen Bass Booties kind of did that with a few.
There was like $45 in ETH or whatever in there.
I think it's 0.006, roughly the same as a Dragon Punk, you know, to mint them.
And then you get $45 in Weethe, though.
So I'm like, that's pretty cool.
That's a nice little incentive bonus.
I did want to mention real quick um so i'm part of this or um this group that we created called
the gpc we're the green pill collective we moved over our stuff to discord right now but we have
probably 25 to 30 projects in the gpc so i'm gonna connect with them and i'm gonna talk to them and
let them know about you and i'm sure that there'll be at least three or four projects in there that you guys resonate
with.
Out of 30, there's probably a couple.
We're pretty hardcore vetters for the most part.
We really focus around community.
And I'm sure that there's at least a few projects in there that would love to connect with you
and possibly be one of those, you know, beta testers with you.
Oh, dude.
Yeah, that would be, that would be
awesome, man. I really appreciate that. And yeah, one more thing, I guess, before you, you know,
stop talking, hogging up the face with, with kosher stuff is the, you know, one thing you said
was like creating systems where you can have bounties and where you can have consistent
engagement for people to, you know, keep on coming back and you know completing tasks or whatever it may be um one thing i wish that this is with uh you know asset dash right and so my uh you know i wish that
they would actually partner up with or have a system where you could apply or partner up with
different brands with different you know projects with different companies and then actually have
like what they have and their tools there on assetset Dash available to, you know, use in your ecosystem
as well on a smaller scale. Like that's one thing that I think Asset Dash like has failed on
completely. And so with the Kosha Hub, you know, eventually down the line, we do want a marketplace.
But what I was thinking first, because that will take a lot of time to build as well. So we're
looking at, you know, maybe early, you know, Q1 of next year or Q2 to be like a Magic Eden competitor, really.
I was thinking that like some type of system where, you know, we basically were like an asset
dash mixed with our own hub where you could track all of the collections that were minted.
You could go and mint your collections on the app as well, on the Kosha app. You could see all of
the collections that you'd already purchased, their prices, you know, have an aggregator there.
And then also track your whitelists, your, you know, different things like that, basically.
And have all of those tasks like an Asset Dash built into the CoShop.
So any project could come in, mint with us, and then they can utilize that system.
So kind of taking what they've done, but then actually making it accessible.
Like Asset Dash has fallen off a little bit to me i mean i used to use it all the time i used to go and i
was waiting for airdrop and this and that and i was just like why isn't this you know why aren't
you able to i don't know maybe they've added some stuff but i was like why why aren't you able to go
and you know why isn't this you know they do more collabs like acid dash i collab so we're kind of
that's definitely something i want to do down the line.
Obviously on a smaller scale,
first you met the project,
you have those bounties and those different systems,
weekly games, weekly poker tournaments,
you know, things like that.
But then open it up eventually to give our deployers,
because that's what's going to actually be the,
you know, what's going to make us big money,
you know, give those deployers the option
to use those tools easily.
And simply without, you know, having to build a whole, you know, game those deployers the option to use those tools easily and simply without,
you know, having to build a whole, you know, game in their own ecosystem, they could come in and use
our app basically. So yeah, man, definitely appreciate you. Oh, a thousand, dude. That's
absolutely amazing too. We got the Mad Queen over there too, and she's part of a couple projects.
The Moon Ape Labs, they're, so they have a 3d render of those that you can get as well they
have the blender files that go along with it they have they're like game fight ready you could go do
yeah i'm glad she's gonna come up here because i stumble over my words with some of these projects
there's just so much going on with them and then the yetis too dude so there's some big projects
already cooking over there and we have the mutant shant Sheebas in here with Rick Starr.
We do have a big, big team over there of just wholesome projects,
devs, creators, all kinds of stuff.
And, you know, I rock with the sock puppets.
We're on Solana.
My brother, he's the game dev over there
and does, like, all the artwork and everything.
So we have a lot of connections for sure.
I'm excited to see where this goes, man.
It's going to be amazing.
Hello, Queen.
Good morning, G-Man.
Good morning, Oysters.
Nice to meet you and everyone else down there.
Hope you're all having a good day.
I'm just cooking over here, big man.
I'm like multitasking at the minute, trying to get the GPC sorted.
I did send you an invite, Oysters.
Let's go. appreciate you guys i will definitely hop in the back channels with you all and i think that there's definitely potential for collaboration
with any you know with any projects but specifically if you guys already have a
collective where you're vetting you know different projects and devs and you know making sure that
they're on the same type of of longer term sustainable you know vision too yeah and you know anytime that anybody had a an idea for a coin
or for a smaller project or wanted to come in and test you know with a um that could also help if
you've already minted your collection and you wanted to do a couple hundred you know nfts and
do a collab in that regard you know it would be super super easy to
go and upload those attributes and mint among kosha so i really appreciate the connect man
yes of course my guy that's what we're about over here connecting building bridges you know we
i feel like for me personally i feel like a lot of that gets done in spaces, right? Maybe that first initial contact.
And then after that, man, we, it's just nitty gritty.
You know, sometimes it's some live calls.
Sometimes it's chopping it up on the back channels for three hours or jumping in a VC,
like whatever it may be.
But yo, I'm excited.
Like I said, there's, there's a plethora of projects in there.
We have like 30 plus projects.
And I know at least the two on the stage right now, really crazy devs been in the space for three plus years.
Let's go. I see you with your hand, Rick. What's up? One love, buddy.
Yo, what's up, guys? Been a great show so far. Just been listening, you know?
been listening you know i don't like to don't like to hug the mic too much you know me uh but
I don't like to hug the mic too much, you know me.
yeah what i wanted to say was um mad queen has been absolutely bro she is literally the queen
of the discord like uh i didn't expect this you know i thought i was gonna have to
normally i i would just be doing all what she's doing by myself so i'd be stressed to the nines right now so she's
very thankful to have her and she's just kind of owned that uh admin role in the in the discord and
uh yeah i think we just all need to give her her flowers for this because she's doing it for all
of us you know they're like don't forget that like she's like all the work she's putting in right now
is not for her benefit it It's for all the projects
so just realize that and if she asks you for something, please just
Give it to her as quick as you can, you know, she's asking for project information
And that type of thing just so we can have everything streamlined when you go into the project now
There's a whole section of of the project info and we've each got a section to fill out
ourselves so uh i need to actually add more content to my one but just very happy to see that
and uh you know what guys i i've seen other people also uh in the last couple of 28 24 48 hours
basically they they try to replicate the green pillective, and I'm very happy to see that.
They like getting eight to ten projects together,
trying to form a collective, and that just tells me one thing.
People's eyes in the space are on us, and they like what we're doing.
So let's keep doing this.
Just keep collaborating.
Keep doing cross spaces with different projects.
So reach out to someone else in the Green Pearl Collective.
Do a cross space with them this week.
Another one with another one the following week.
We've got agents in the morning on Ape Chain with his GM Ape Chain space.
We're all over the place now i'm streaming on abstract
tonight tomorrow we've got our mega space uh last week 2600 tuned into our friday space so i i think
this this week will break that record because we've got gm ape chain uh joining us and we're
also going to be streaming on ov which is a ape chain uh streaming platform and so it will be abstract obi Ovi x YouTube Twitch
Facebook and that's all of our accounts and then one last thing is that's also from
the the THC humor account which has over 200k followers which will be under our control uh in the coming weeks the green pill
collective so it's all looking very positive uh for the green pill collective but again
we have to vet every project that comes in um and and basically like uh collaborates with that with
the rest of the green pill collective just to keep us all safe so uh just guys please if you want to get
in fill in the form uh the tech's got a form there that that you need to fill in and let's just go
through the whole process uh and get everyone on boarded like i say 100 communities nothing less
thank you very much yo rick no a thousand a thousand communities dude you know what i mean
we're we're pushing and you know what hundred's a good milestone because we're like
a third of the way there with really
solid founders and projects
too, you know what I mean? And we just
continuously connect
and build these bridges.
I'm absolutely ecstatic about it. And I
do have to give mad flowers to the queen.
I have to get the sock stuff in there.
I'm probably, socks are either going to
collab and write something up,
but I definitely got to get that in there ASAP.
But a big shout out to you for just being such a discord,
like Fissy and Otto, like it's absolutely amazing. Um,
from the Yeti's discord over to what you're doing for us with the GPC.
And like it, like Rick said too, it takes a load off of Rick as well.
Cause like ultimately I think discord is like the best place for us to really connect.
Right. I think X has a good onboarding platform, like with spaces and stuff.
And I think bringing them over to Discord, that's where we'll really know you're really great at keeping Discord safe.
That was my only concern with Discord is like discord's just like telegrams kind of you
know this is bad rep right but you thank you for doing that and just putting the time and the effort
into that and into the collaborations that we're doing i see we got d coop up over here dude what
is going on the man of the hour d coop in the dmv i'm loving this dude what's going on today brother
yo yo yo what's good everybody gmgm sounds of the vibe listen out hold tight
appreciate y'all having me man rick star what's good homie i've seen you around the way
a bunch you know all all types of spaces man you're out here killing it and always you know man of the people vibing
it up big man appreciate you having me up oysters i love the pfp that's crazy i've seen you guys
around a bunch before you know but i feel like it's been a hot minute um mad queen much respect
much respect of course to the Queens of web three.
Always.
Um, you guys have really shaped my journey, um, and my existence in this space and outside
of it.
Um, so yeah, shout out to all the homies in the building as well.
Trey Dizzle having me as, you know, hosting me as well.
Um, I see some beasts in the building, a whole bunch of different homies, just happy to be
here and kick it with y'all, man.
It's a great start to the day.
Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Yo, we love it. I know you was a little concerned about how things go and shit. You know, it's like, what's this? Is this like an interview or like what's
going on over here? Nah, dude, we all good vibes. We just a bunch of Web3 enthusiasts,
cannabis enthusiasts. We're chilling, we're vibing.
I like the Thursdays because I feel like the music industry is way underappreciated,
especially you underground artists, bro. And you web three artists, like you can't get enough exposure, bro. And it's all just for love. That's all it is, man. So
we do like to know a little bit about you, obviously, because that's just cool. It's
always good to know the story, the person behind that, PFP behind, like, you're more
than a PFP, right?
You do shows, all kinds of shit, I'm sure.
But, you know, just the person, who you is.
And then, like, you know, a lot of our people have been, like, music from the beginning
too.
Some of, not everybody, but, so yeah, a little backstory.
And then, like, we segue into, your, your music career and stuff like that.
And then maybe how you got into web three, we talk about some of the projects, maybe
potential collaborations.
We got, we got a lot of web three fam too.
So we definitely want to hear from you though, my guy, much love.
Yes, sir.
Yes, sir.
Yeah, man.
You know, I can go either way.
I like to know a little bit about what I'm getting into.
But, you know, for a little bit of context within Web3 that would make sense with this, you know, I've done spaces where it's just, you know, kicking it, chopping it up, talking about anything and everything.
I think one space we had, it was supposed to be a music space.
We ended up talking about our pets for like an hour.
So, you know, and then I've had, you know, one of the biggest spaces I ever hosted myself
was with, you know, Pons ETH from The Plague and Liberty from Liberty Square.
And that one was more on the intensive side where it was like a dual interview with themselves
and their projects as well as,
you know, their perspectives on the space. So, you know, I'm all over the place, man. I, you know,
I can kick it and vibe or I can, I can go deep. So I think this is a good combination of the two.
And when it comes to being a cannabis enthusiast, obviously, if you look at the PFP,
that'll tell you a little bit about me. But cannabis has definitely been
a major part of my life. I feel like that'll be something I'll get into a little bit more
down the journey. But as far as who I am, who I've been before Web3, I grew up in Northern
Virginia. So for those of you who don't know, DMV in the name is not just
the name. It's where I'm from. It's my stomping grounds. It's the place that I love.
I was raised in West Virginia for a couple of years until my parents moved us down to Northern
Virginia for better schooling, better opportunity, because West Virginia is a beautiful place,
but they don't necessarily have, you know,
the kind of resources and such for someone growing up as Northern Virginia. Plus my parents were
commuting like two hours plus a day just to get to their jobs down in Virginia. Now I'm in Maryland,
but in between, you know, that, that part of my life, I grew up mainly being a poet. I was, I was always drawn to creative
writing and such like that. I would write haikus and short stories, and then, you know, just kind
of got into fantasy type stuff and everything. So that was kind of the beginning of me picking up
a pen and starting that artistic part of my lifestyle. That grew into my parents buying me
my first acoustic guitar, which I was pretty decent at, but I'll be fully honest, wasn't
any Jimi Hendrix or anything like that. And then I ended up being drawn to the saxophone,
which was actually an instrument that I was much more adept at, had a lot of fun with for a couple of years which was, you know, Marvel comics, DC comics,
as well as he was the first one to introduce me to hip hop. So he, you know, back when I was,
I want to say around 14, 15, he got me hip to old school hip hop, like, you know, run DMC.
And then that went into like, you know, Wu-Tang and Mobb Deep and everything. And then of course, you know, 50 Cent, Eminem, Biggie, Tupac, all of that kind of stuff.
So he really got me ingrained within that culture along with my friends around that age.
You know, there was a lot of times where I was the only white boy in the neighborhood.
where I was the only white boy in the neighborhood.
So I definitely had to, you know, earn my stars and, you know, really got engulfed in the culture.
And at that point, I didn't really see music as anything but a part of my lifestyle that I loved
and was passionate about.
You're just constantly listening, learning to, to different
CDs, memorizing every word, you know, going to parties and being the guy playing the track list,
ending up becoming a DJ part-time for a little bit, uh, with a buddy of mine who got us fired.
Um, that's a whole funny story. Got us fired over a girl, of course, you know,
uh, her parents weren't too happy seeing her on stage with us when we were
teenagers at a, at a teenager nightclub, you know? Um, so yeah, that's, that's how that pretty much
began as far as how my musical journey and, you know, I know I'm monologuing here, which I tend
to do. So I'll kind of cut it off after this, this, uh this little montage, but what really got me into focusing on music as a quote-unquote career,
but more so just a passion and something I feel like I couldn't go without really pursuing in my life,
was I was ironically locked up for distribution of cannabis and psilocybin mushrooms.
And when I was set up by an informant who was the older brother of a good friend slash
ex-girlfriend of mine.
But you know what it is, what it is.
And at that time, yeah, I was angry and upset and mad, but that's also become a really huge part of my journey as a cannabis
and psychedelic advocate. Um, you know, um, yeah, I don't know. I got, I got stuck there,
but, um, as you know, just, just a big part of my life essentially. And when I was locked up,
I, you know, it was like my second day there. I walked over to this couch where, you know,
the TV is and stuff. And there was a dude sitting there and he had a Kid Cudi tattoo on his arm.
And at that time, and still to this day, Kid Cudi is a huge influence of mine. His artistic
style is just something very different, very deep and very unique, which I appreciate.
And so I walked up to him and I was like, Hey man,
you know, I really, I really like your tattoo. That's, that's dope. I'm a huge Cuddy fan.
And he was like, Oh man, that's awesome. And we got to talking and you know, he was an artist. He,
he was very, very talented artists. One of the best, you know, freestylers I know personally.
And he was like, Oh, well, do you rap? And I was like, nah, man, I mean, I write a lot of
stuff, you know, I've messed around and, and, you know, cipher with my homies and everything, but
I kind of just do it for fun. And he was like, well, let me see what you got. So, you know,
for the couple of months that we were there, you know, I was there for a couple of months,
went to another one for a couple of months, blah, blah, blah. And I was like, okay, cool. So every morning I would,
you know, show him what I'd written the night before. Cause you got a lot of time to be,
you know, writing. And he would be like, dude, he was like, you know, I wish I could write like
you. And I was like, I wish I could freestyle like you. So we would kind of play off of each
other's strengths where, you know, he would have me freestyle. I would kind
of show him my writing style and we would develop and learn together. And when I was close to
getting out, he was like, man, you know, we really got to hook up and we got to, you know, just,
just get to the music and everything. And I was like, yeah, man, for sure. And, you know,
a lot of people will say that stuff and everything, and then it never just comes to fruition.
But he had let me know his release date because I ended up getting out, I want to say like
a month before him overall.
And he gave me his number and he called me the day he got out because he was in Virginia,
but most of his family was up farther in Maryland.
And he's like, hey man, I'm out, you know, if you want to link up and stuff.
And I was like, hey, man, I'm out, you know, if you want to link up and stuff. And I was like, yeah, bro.
Like, you know, I went and scooped him up.
And then we pretty much spent like every day together after that, at least, you know, most of the week.
And he's the one who really pushed me, really gave me that drive to pursue music.
And I couldn't be more grateful for it because it's obviously stuck with me ever since.
So that's my prelude
before web three. Yo, I, I absolutely love it. So where I'm also a psilocybin enthusiast and
advocate for proper use of all substances in my opinion, right? I don't think it's the substance
itself. It's the relationships we have with substances. That's the most important thing and the relationship we have with ourselves i think that's something that
we really advocate uh i'm a big advocate for oh man i see now i'm fucking up too i can't speak
no it's all good um but yeah dude so that that's absolutely crazy that part of the story i'm dude
i remember when i was growing up and weed was like this
criminal act and like it was this insane thing bro and it's so not there's so many demons around
it and it's like get the fuck out of here with that shit if you just smoked a joint i love those
videos the ones where it's just the cop fucking he smokes a joint for a minute he's like this is
what i've been arresting people over all these years?
I'm like, holy shit.
No, it's wild, dude.
I absolutely love the story.
I noticed Crypto Stoner stepped up.
Good morning, Crypto Stoner.
How you doing today?
You caught me right as I was finished.
No, no, no.
I just posted my comment with Gucci.
You know I had to tag some fam and post some NFTs in the comments. I was just doing that.
Yo, good morning, everybody. I hope everyone's having an amazing Thursday. I'm very excited to be up here and decoup listening to you talk. I'm very, very excited to learn more, hear more.
to learn more hear more uh i caught the oysters a little bit when i first got in here you know
very excited very awesome day um i woke up a little late today you boys slept in co-host is
a little late sorry um but i i love you guys it's amazing to be here i'm getting my dab ready
and uh looking forward to hearing more chats and uh and see where we talk about today.
Yo, also, D. Coop, you don't ever have to apologize for the monologues.
I got to start renaming my Tuesday spaces so people know what's going on in big man space.
We do that sometimes.
Every once in a while, we break out the tinfoil hat.
We talk a little market analytics sometimes, too.
You know what I'm saying?
We do a lot around here, but this space
today in particular, my guy, this one is for you. That's what this one is. You are the star of the
show today. You can talk as long as you need. I'll try to take notes of any questions I have,
or if it's not a rude interruption, I'll jump in there real quick and be like, hey, I just wanted
to clarify on something or whatever. You know what I'm saying? It's tough to have like real free flow conversation in spaces, but we do the best we can around
here and we just be respectful.
That's all.
You're, you're, you're, what's up though, dude?
Yo, I see you over there, Oyster.
See, he threw his hand up.
Yo, I just wanted to say, D-Coup, that's, that's dope, man.
It's, it's cool to reconnect as well.
We were building the Oysters Project a long time ago.
I think we had, we had connected at some point while we were, you know, maybe in 2023, even early 2024.
Who knows? But it's cool. I'm in Maryland as well.
I definitely know I'm in D.C. all the time and I have a lot of friends in Nova.
So it's cool to see another DMV hit.
And yeah, to reconnect, I'm going to actually got to run downstairs and pick something up real quick.
I'll be right back if anybody's calling on me. So, yeah.
Yeah, for sure, man.
Yeah.
First of all, big man, jump in anytime.
I love having questions.
You know, it's fun to talk and tap in everybody on my journey.
But, you know, having the questions that really make me think and connect more with people is really what I'm looking for.
You know, I can't stay in the spaces where I'm hosting and I'm like, come on guys, get
And everybody's just kind of like sitting there.
I'm like, I don't want to sit here and talk at y'all.
I want to talk with y'all.
But oysters, that's awesome, man.
DMV, what's good, bro?
We definitely got to connect.
You know, I got a show where I'm going to be opening in a couple of weeks.
So if you can make it to that, I'll tap you in. But also we're opening up the pool this week. So I'll be throwing some pool
parties and then another show myself later in the summer. So, and yeah, dude, I'm always down.
I know there's some, I actually went to a crypto meetup in Arlington, what, like two, three weeks
ago. It was a base meetup. Base sponsored it by, you know, three weeks ago was a base meetup, uh, base sponsored it,
uh, by, you know, it was funny because a friend of mine who is not web three at all and who I,
you know, I'm that guy who doesn't always throw web three into the conversation, but with some
of my close homies, especially I'll, I'll kind of talk their ear off and be like, listen, man,
you don't know it's the future. You know, like you said, tinfoil hat on and everything.
And, uh, he was the one who invited me to the event because his buddy who he does flag football
with was the one who was hosting it with his mom. And his mom is an absolute bad-ass. This woman
like knows all about 501 C3 pro non-profits. She was the one who was like, you know, this,
this woman who's probably, uh, you know, I don't like to guess a woman's age, but I would say, you know, probably around early 60s was probably the most crypto educated person in the room, which was incredible to me.
And I know they do like Farcaster Fridays once a month or something.
So we definitely got to tap in to the local DMV Web3 culture because, you know, we need more of us and then we gotta, we gotta stand together, man. Um, but yeah, as far as
my web three journey goes, I got into crypto in 2015, uh, funny enough through music, right? So
there's this group, this DJ group that I was a huge fan of and I went to a bunch
of their shows and you know we would talk and chop it up after the show and
everything and you know text here and there and stuff like that and one day
he just happened to mention he was again man are you into crypto and I was like
well I don't know man I was like I heard about Bitcoin and everything but I just
don't I'm not really like educated on you know like digital money I don't
necessarily understand it and he
was like well you know he kind of broke it down and had you know the beginnings of
my teaching me what decentralization meant in a very simplistic form and to this day i still kind
of use his concept when i explain it to other people where he was like, you know, Bitcoin is the gold
standard that backs the market, right? And then you have your other kind of stable coins like
XRP, ETH, you know, Solana and such that depending on your perspective can be compared to the silver,
the copper, you know, and, you know, one being retail, one being entertainment, et cetera,
et cetera, which really opened my eyes to it as someone who didn't really know about
And so I was like, okay, cool.
And he was like, you know, just buy, buy Bitcoin the most, you know, have, have some of that
stocked up.
And he was like, it doesn't matter if you're spending, you know, $5,000 or you're just
putting in a hundred bucks here and there or something like that he was like just get you some bitcoin he was like and then you know
stack up some ethereum stack up some solana stack up some xrp etc etc and that's when i i first
started investing just kind of dipping my toes in and i started making some pretty decent gains you
know i bought in eth at like 300 or so and, you know, Solana when
it was like 20 bucks and things like that. And, and right at that time, things started kind of
going up a little bit and I was like, okay, cool. Like I'm, I'm seeing the profit, you know,
but I wasn't really ingrained with the community. It was just him and like two other people that I
other people that I knew. And then everybody else was like, Oh, crypto is a scam, blah, blah, blah,
knew. And then everybody else was like, Oh, crypto is a scam, blah, blah, blah, blah. And I'm like,
blah. And I'm like, well, I'm over here making some money off it. So I don't know, whatever.
Yeah. And I just kind of kept investing and learning about, you know, using different
exchanges and et cetera. And then back in 2017, I want to say, no, no, no, uh, 2017 was when I really, really started investing more. And then
2019 to 2020, I had posted something on Instagram that was like some digital art that I was messing
around with. Right. I was doing like a cover for, um, what I wanted my independent label to be,
um, which is the VC down there, but was originally named the Dirty Mouth Village Entertainment.
So we've grown a bit since then. And so I posted that and this guy from high school
that I played football with commented and was like, hey man, do you do NFTs? You should look
in NFTs. And I was like, well, what's an NFT? like what the hell is this so i started looking online and
researching and you know that was around the time when of course i i missed the board ape train that
everybody talks about and and a couple other projects around that time uh but i but it got
me into it you know which was most important you know the community the culture decentralization
which is what most appeals to me making money is, but I'm really here for the progressiveness of the space, what it does for entrepreneurs, what it does for the little guy
trying to make money for their family, but also connecting with people across the world, etc.
And so I was like, okay, cool. And I jumped in, of course, a couple of rugs from the beginning,
because I was learning,
and, you know, there was a lot of mass appeal out there, and, you know, we've all had our
good rug or two, maybe more, depending on your journey and timing. And the first community that
really made a difference for me and kept me here was, you know, like I said, with psychedelics and advocacy was psychedelics anonymous because
the art and the story and the community coming together, having mental health spaces,
talking about, you know, the legalities and the philosophies and the ideals behind psychedelics
and the safe use of psychedelics, like big man said, really kept me here and, you know, got me
within a network of people from all different lifestyles that really pushed me forward. You
know, I vibed with people about the core of the project, which was everything I just mentioned
prior, as well as, you know, there's some music heads in there, there's some artists in there, you know, things like that. So psychedelics is what really kept me here.
And then that had me kind of cross pollinate and meet people from other communities that
continue that drive forward, you know, the plague of frogs, beasts, you know, all different kinds
of communities that ended up having a lot of the
same people in them that I had already known for like a year or two at this time. So that
gave me a sense of trust seeing, you know, versus going around and being like, oh, what's the next
big play? What's, you know, what's the next big shiny project versus, oh, I see, you know, these
10, 20, 30 people that I've really connected with who I know
are, you know, intelligent and are looking for the same kinds of things, or just have, you know,
their thumb on the pulse of Web3 and community of what I'm looking for. And, you know, that
continued into Long Lost and Canisapiens and Hen House and all these different projects that intertwine with each other and have cross-community spaces.
And then, you know, music. Music was, of course, something I didn't even know about in Web3 the first, I want to say, year and a half. And then Dre the Noid and the Humanoids, I jumped up in one of
their spaces with Snoop Dogg's son, Champ, and they were allowing artists to come up and share
their music. And at that time, a lot of my stuff was really rough. I was just utilizing some of my
first equipment. I had taken classes on mixing and mastering, but I was far from professional. And so I was kind of, you know, intimidated to jump
up and share my music. But I was like, Hey man, they, you know, they've got this space open.
They're letting people come up. Like if you miss this opportunity, like you're just going to look
back and kick yourself. So I went up and I shared my music with Dre and, you know, if you guys don't
know Dre, he's an incredibly talented, but also very humble artist. And he's open for and worked with artists like Mac Miller,
Kendrick Lamar, Bone Thugs in Harmony, all these bigger named artists who I've always been a fan
of myself. And so I jumped up and I shared this song with him, which I'll,
I'll share with you guys in a little bit. Uh, one of the first songs I ever recorded with my,
my little cousin. And he, you know, of course, wasn't like, Oh man, that's, that's fire. He gave
me, you know, what I believe I needed to hear at that time. He was like, dude, you have great
writing skills. He was like, I can tell you have a lot of passion. He was like, but you need to focus on the quality. He was like, you know, keep at it. He was like, but
when it comes to sharing your music in a, in a public space, he was like, people want to hear
something that's more polished, more, you know, smooth on the ears and everything like that.
And that's what, you know, was, was a huge fuel to my
fire where I started investing in better equipment, you know, um, looking for producers
and engineers that could give me a leg up versus trying to do everything myself, uh, and being this,
this one man wheelhouse. And, you know, to this day, I couldn't be more grateful for Dre and the,
wheelhouse and you know to this day i couldn't be more grateful for dre and the and the web3 music
space that turned into meeting people like violetta nessie spotty wi-fi darius you know i could
i could name people for for hours here um that have you know welcomed me into the web3 music
community and and inspired me and had a big impact on on my journey here. So I think that's, that's my, uh, my web three synopsis.
Dude. Everything you got the fucking Midas touch my guy. That's what it sounds like to me.
You know what I mean? That's absolutely insane, dude. And you know what? That constructive
criticism, sometimes that's the best thing right because like especially
when we're trying to build up confidence for ourselves like i'm an inspiring artist myself
but i it's all back burner that's all like just for passion it's like a diary for me like type
of deal you know i don't know no mixer and a master and none of that but i got a couple friends that
dabble in it so every once in a while i'm comfortable with sending the homie some raspy-ass poor vocals, you know what I'm saying, that are just like, yo, what can you do with that?
And then he slaps it up and makes it sound wicked cool, and then sends it back to me, and I'm like, yo, that's what I needed to feel, thank you.
You know what I mean?
Because it's for me most of the time and it's just an amazing
experience when you start really building but to have the knowledge of how things are gonna work
too man you're very well educated i feel like and through experience it seems like too which to me
is like the best kind right and you said you took classes and all that shit too but like
nothing like real world experience actually getting shot down at some point and
then still doing it right and then still putting in that grind still putting in the time and
perfecting your art you know just mad flowers to you dude and i i know uh where's that ultimate
glaze or d bros knows what i'm talking about we were in the fucking uh space last night where
uh clay's after dark clay's after dark is wicked fire actually too and he's got a cool sound D-Bros knows what I'm talking about. We were in the fucking space last night where Clay's After Dark.
Clay's After Dark is Wicked Fire, actually, too.
And he's got a cool soundboard over there.
But, no, I ain't just blowing smoke either, man.
I can feel the authenticity coming out of you.
I sense vibrations through words really well, you know.
And, yeah, dude, just big, big, big love to you.
D-Bros is just here in the glaze part right now, probably.
That's crazy.
Appreciate you, homie, man.
And, you know, like you said, do it for you, you know, because that's a big part of the journey, too.
And when it comes to raspy, bro, if you can't tell, I'm raspy as hell, man.
And the funny part is, like, I was, you know, kind of saw that as like a you know a weakness at first um
but honestly like especially some of the women you know they'd be like I love that that raspy
part and everything so don't lose the raspy man I mean you know definitely definitely throw the
polishing on it definitely throw stuff but you know I still like I have a bunch of tracks where
I throw that in because it's become
a part of my sound you know and it's and it's been a part of me so you know don't lose that uh and
you know any art starts out as as a passion and a hobby and then when you have you know your homies
and your friends that that support you and you know bring that sound that you're you're looking
for but don't necessarily know how to find yourself when
it comes to, you know, using all these different plugins and DAWs and all that kind of stuff.
Having those people in your corner that can, you know, a really good producer or even just
a good friend with musical talent that can hear what you're going for and take it to
that level is, you know,
something that's, that's priceless. And the, you know, the constructive criticism
was something that, you know, as, as someone who grew up playing sports, as someone who grew up,
you know, I did end up doing very well in school. You know, I graduated cum laude and got my,
you know, pieces of paper to put on the wall and everything, blah, blah, blah. But school. You know, I graduated cum laude and got my, you know, pieces of paper
to put on the wall and everything, blah, blah, blah. But I, you know, I thrived off of constructive
criticism. And when it came to music specifically, I feel like that was like a double-edged sword
because don't get me wrong. When I was, I was first starting, you know, I was this hard-headed
young artist where I was like, I'm dope. And, you know, people just haven't seen it yet and blah, blah, blah.
And, you know, it's tough as an artist to try and share that vulnerable part of yourself with your friends, your family, you know, or even, you know, random people or performing.
And not getting the same, you know, love and attention that you see from, you know, your favorite artists.
you know, love and attention that you see from, you know, your favorite artists, because
whether people want to admit it or not, starting out as an artist, you're, you're kind of comparing
yourself, right? Like, oh, this guy, you know, I think I'm more talented, but you know, they're
getting so much more, you know, fandom and I just don't understand it and blah, blah, blah.
And that was tough for me starting out because I'll be honest, you know, I would show my music
to some of my friends and stuff. They'd be kind of like, oh, that's cool. You know, or I'd show it to them and I could tell they were tuning out, you know, 10 seconds in. It was kind of frustrating.
friends, she's a music lover and she ended up, um, working with people in the industry and such
like that. And, and having a lot of opportunity to meet big names and things, you know, I would
show her my music and she was one of the first to be like, Oh, you know, this part here, you're
kind of, your flow's kind of off or like, you know, I can't really exactly make out what you're
saying here. This, you know, this mix here sounds kind of rough.
And I was like, thank you. You know, like that's, that's what I'm looking for there. And that kind
of snowballed into, you know, that happening with producers that I work with and such. And,
you know, I took, like, like you said, music classes, quote unquote, like, you know, in a
professional style. The guy who I learned
under his name, Sanjay Mishra, he worked with more classic rock style artists. He worked with
some people from the Grateful Dead and, and such like that. Very talented guy, but somebody that
you're, you know, is not a household name. And, but the funny part is, yeah, I learned a lot from him technically, you know, from a
technical sense of, of using pro tools, you know, finding the ins and outs of it. Um, but we really
made the difference going back to like, what you said was I met a guy in that class because I'm
like, man, this is cool, but I'm trying to do hip hop. You know, what is all this like arrangement
of like, you know, different instruments and stuff. Like I'm trying to throw a beat down and rock the mic, you know? And there was a guy in the class who I ended up sitting next
to. His name is Max. And, uh, I was like, yeah, man, you know, I do hip hop and stuff. He's like,
oh yeah, me too, man. He was like, you want to meet up after class and go do some music? And I
was like, yeah, for sure. And he was, you know, I'm an artist trying to learn how to record and
he's a producer who already knows how to record. He's just taking these classes to get his degree. Right. And so I was like, yeah, you
know, I was like, I got a little studio at my house. I got a Scarlet, a Scarlet interface and
a Bluebird mic and I hook it up to my Mac and I got some speakers now and stuff. And he comes over
and we just started messing around. And so I learned from him, you know, how to actually
start using some, some reverb on my voice and, and using some,
you know, equalizers and, and clippers and things like that. And, you know, no disrespect to,
to Mr. Mishra, you know, if it weren't for that class, I definitely wouldn't have learned nearly
as much as I would today. But if it weren't for those after class sessions with Max, I definitely
wouldn't have, you know, developed my artistry at that pace.
And, you know, kind of last thing I'll say on that is it's funny now as someone who, you know, the VEC down there is an independent label artist collective in the DMV that I'm facilitating.
We're very grassroots right now, but very much on the come up.
grassroots right now, but very much on the come up. And I started a couple years ago and I'm
continuing to work with artists of different ages, of different styles and things like that.
And it was funny kind of flipping the script from being an artist who was being mentored
or collaborating with my peers to becoming more of a mentor and seeing my hardheaded younger
self in these artists, right. Where I'm trying to, to kind of give them that feedback without
being, you know, I'm not the kind of guy that's gonna be like, that was shit recorded again,
you know, but just trying to kind of work with them and be like, Hey, you know, you're, you're kind of singing
a lot here, but I feel like, you know, your forte is more on the rapping. Cause a lot of these young
guys, they want to, you know, go off of what's popular now, like the little babies and, you know,
the juice worlds and all that kind of stuff, which is cool. You know, I have a lot of respect for
some of these, these newer artists that are, that are shaping their lane and stuff. Um, but you know,
a lot of these younger artists will try to emulate them versus having their own sound.
And, you know, just seeing that, like that same frustration that I had where I'm like,
you know, maybe try a little bit of this and they're like, nah, man, I want to keep it this
way. And I'm like, okay, cool.
You know, I'm not going to tell you how to do your art.
I'm only going to work with you to try to elevate your art.
And in some cases, it's worked out very, very well.
And I'll be real with you.
In some cases, it's resulted in us not continuing to work together.
And at the same time, you know, I still respect them.
At the same time, I still respect them. I still support their journey. But if you're an artist
I still support their journey.
at any point in your journey, whether you're just starting out or you're 20, 30 years in,
you're always going to be able to learn from somebody and you'll probably learn the most
from somebody you least expect. So that's something I always keep in my mind and I, you know, always humble my
ego, but, but embrace my confidence when I'm in the studio, no matter who it is I'm working
with or who I'm showing the music to.
Yeah.
Let me ask you a quick question and this might be a little off topic.
There was a lot to digest, dude, but it's an amazing journey.
I resonated with what you were saying about the younger artists taking influence and stuff.
So my question is, and it's kind of like tongue-in-cheek type of question, you know what I mean?
How does it feel to be one of the G-paws in hip-hop?
You know what I'm saying?
Like pretty close to it.
You ain't like a grandmaster out there like fucking the legend snoop dog and stuff like
that but you're fucking you've been in it dude you've been in the great you've been in the grime
you've been doing it refining and i keep saying it like that because i can't emphasize enough on
how many people fall off of that track you know what i mean and just settle for a minimal viable
product that isn't what it should
be. Right. And they're like, ah, fuck it. And now, like you said, now all these other kids are going
to grow up listening and consuming what I would consider to be, I don't want to call it trash
because it's still art in its own right. Right. It's cool for certain times, but it's not the
music that I vibe with personally. That's all I can really say about music, I guess.
But yeah, so kudos to you for keeping it alive too, man.
I appreciate it.
And I'd love for you to be able to play a couple songs or play a couple songs of your
choice or whatever.
Before we get to that real fast, I just wanted to open the floor real quick to anybody who's
got something they want to say or, you know what I mean?
And then we'll definitely, we'll get right into the music too dude we'll chop it up we'll
do a couple songs do some more talking do a couple songs something and also if you got any time
constraints um whenever you gotta dip out no worries man we go for like four or five hours
over here sometimes i've been cutting them back a little bit because i've had a lot on my plate
lately but you know uh we we still going out here we still out here we're partying what up tech i
see you over there hey how's it going big man i had a quick question for the coop so i know you
were talking about like um mixing your own music so i was just curious like um other than maybe
using particular beats and um sounds from like maybe sampled music from the past
and stuff that you like what are some elements that you like to implement in your mix like i
know you said you were learning the reverb and stuff but i'm wondering if there was any particular
elements you like to mix in to your beats in particular to give it like a special sound so people know that
it's yours like um for example mf doom is one of my favorite artists so he used to do the whole
funk master flex thing where at the end it would have like the radio recordings of different sounds
and mixes he did and comics from like the old fantastic Four and Spider-Man. So I was wondering what yours
may be. Yeah. So I would say that's a, that's a fantastic question and a very, very loaded
question. Um, and you know, that's exactly what I like. Cause it made me sit here and think,
you know, I don't have a pre-planned answer for that. Right. Um, I would say it's developed over the years. Um,
so if you, you know, for instance, if you go to my sound cloud, most of my stuff on there is circa,
you know, five to eight years ago. Right. And at that time, but to now I did a lot of intros and outros and like ad libs and little kind of things in between.
Right. So, for instance, I have this song that's not what it seems like, where it's very much about the political climate at that time, but from a wider view.
but from a wider view. And the beginning of that song has a sample for like 20 seconds
from a Malcolm X speech. And then I have another track I know with my homie Mitch,
who was the one who I told about that story earlier, who really got me into hip hop,
about that story earlier who really got me into hip hop where he is somebody I considered like an
ad lib or like skit master where you know we came up with this concept of you know like I said
earlier the VC was originally Dirty Mouth Village right so he and I together but more so him I'll
be honest created this character called dirty mouth, right? Where
it's him, where it's, it's Mitch talking as himself where he's like, Hey man, Hey,
you know what's going on? And then he's got this like really rough, like OG character.
That's dirty mouth. It's like, you don't want to mess with them boys. Like, well, you know,
and they have this whole like back and forth conversation, uh, which was, was awesome. And then if you look at, uh, how it all worked out,
which is a very emotional song about life and trust and loss and things like that. Um, I,
we worked on it with myself, uh, my friend Danielle, who's a vocalist and my buddy Cam,
um, who's another incredible, uh, hip hop artists. And we did this kind of skit that was like a,
an NA meeting, right. Where, but it was, it wasn't about, you know, alcohol and drugs. It was more
so about people with trust issues. So, but it sounded like the beginnings of an NA meeting,
you know, where they start with, hi, my name is, you know, so-and-so and I'm an alcoholic.
Um, we started out with, hi, my name is Cam and I have
trust issues. And we did this thing where Danielle and I both recorded ourselves doing like hi Cam,
but then, you know, added, like you said, reverb and effects on it. So it sounded like a group of
people saying hi Cam back to him. And then him kind of doing this little intro like and i have trust issues and
stuff which led into his verse right um and then i won't i won't go on this too much longer
but love ain't here um that was more of a story that involved you know love and past romance and
and the hurt of love um within that song uh with with the chorus as well as kind of the little
ad-libs and things in between, right? Now, I would say I still incorporate that. You'll definitely
see that in one of the upcoming drops I have with a female artist in Web3, actually two different
drops with two very talented female vocalists in web three that
incorporate that specifically when it comes to my solo music. Now I, you know, I still stay true to
my roots when it comes to more of the old school hip hop, like gangster rap style shit. But as you
see, you know, my, my brand is kind of my, my brand and my passion more so is like spiritual
gangster where it's a combination of the two of my
growth, my personal feel, which translates into the music. One I'll play in a little bit is
Supernova Light, which I'm having a lot of fun with this because I feel like it's something
which pertains to your question of how I differentiate and have my own sound,
which includes a lot of like psychedelic cosmic space
type sounds, which is something I don't really see out there much. I've definitely seen it
here and there. Um, with, uh, I'm trying to think of ASAP Rocky. He's got that. I can't think of
the name of the track off the top of my head, but the video where he like drops acid and it's a very
trippy video and everything. And it's kind of got that sound to it. I think that's one of the only
artists and in Kid Cudi, of course, um, but more so in his, his skits and kind of a, you know,
he kind of incorporates it, I'd say in a, in a little bit more of a deeper, darker way,
you know, where he's like, you know, we have our hero, Scott Miscotti and blah, blah, blah,
versus mine is more like, I'd say like hippie meets trippy space,
psychedelic type thing is,
is kind of where I'm at experimenting with, with that part of my,
myself and music.
Great question.
It's actually funny you say
that because I thought about it and there
aren't too many artists that do that.
ASAP and Kid Kelty, like
you said, and then the third one
I was thinking of would be Madlib
when he plays his alter ego, Quasimodo.
But those are the only three
I can think of. You got
Mac Miller, Larry Fisherman.
He's got a couple as well.
Some dope shit. I love those
ASAP, MF Doom, Cutty,
all that stuff. MF Doom
specifically, so good, man.
ASAP too, like early ASAP.
Man, like 2013,
high school times,
middle school.
When did I join? 2013, I guess,
high school. Yeah, dude. I join? And 2013, I guess, high school. Yeah, dude.
Those were some times for sure.
Yes, sir.
Yo, D-Coop, it seems like you like interludes, ad-libs, and them transitional skits.
You know what I'm saying, bro?
I like that idea, too, with them.
You know?
I like it, dude.
All right, dude.
Well, let's hear some music my guy for sure this is
about you today yes sir yes sir so i also you know love to kind of cater the music to the the
conversation and such right um so what i think i'm gonna do is know, we talked a lot about the beginning of the journey and the growth and
such like that. Um, so I will play, uh, one of the first tracks that I recorded with my cousin,
uh, you know, to be fully honest, this is one that doesn't have the best mixing and everything,
but it's something that's so true to my heart that I still play it. And it's something that I,
my cousin's actually going to be coming over to
do a full week sesh, um, for the first time in years. Um, and this one is something we'll,
we'll likely rerecord and remaster. Uh, it's called rise and grind. Um, and then,
you know, a little bit later after some more conversation and stuff, I'm going to play
something that's a little more old school hip hop hop and then maybe one or two that's on the newer side.
So you guys can kind of have that that full sound of what we've been talking about here because you guys have really kind of inspired the playlist.
So let's go.
This is Rise and Grind with my little cousin Atlas. About that time, yeah, yeah, it's about that time, yeah, yeah, it's about that time.
Yeah, I got it so defined, I'm rewriting this game and I ain't even been signed.
Always coming in tough, bet your boy don't fall behind.
I stay blowing they minds, cause I'm just so well designed.
Grinding all damn day, so it's time to unwind.
See, we live right at night, now that our stars have all aligned.
And when they talking shit behind your back, don't even pay no mind.
Tell them hop off your dick dick if they be so inclined.
Cause you wake up every morning and you just rise and grind.
You wake up every morning and you just rise and grind.
Rise and grind.
Rise and grind.
Time to shine.
Time to shine.
Keep on gleaming, boy boy till you make them blind
Do your thing girl till you blow they minds
Rise and grind, rise and grind, time to shine, time to shine
We like to waste our time just making rhymes
Finger digging through the crates trying to create some vibes
That any cat can dig, no racial lines
And hopefully the raps be spitting shit young minds
But they probably won't cause cats on the microphone
These days are either too weak to teach or too apt to flow
So I try to set a proper example by setting the pace
Whenever I'm setting it off, yo
So don't expect another nursery rhyme, we be dispersing the lines
So put a curve in your spine, from all the head nods
Yeah, our words are divine
If you ain't heard, you're missing out like a virgin who died
So get your ears cleansed, my click is fearless
Click 911 to get to the nearest hospital
Talking won't get you nowhere, so don't be so scared
Just spit it fearless, yo
Rise and grind, rise and grind
Time to shine, time to shine
Keep on gleaming boy till you make them blind Do your thing girl till you blow they minds
Rise and grind, rise and grind Time to shine, time to shine
Yeah, that's dry motherfuckers I be dry, motherfucker. Here we go. Now. Now when I beat drop. One, two, three.
Hey!
Baby, go.
Get up.
Get up.
Every morning when I wake up, take a look up at my mirror.
Cause I put in so much work and now this vision's getting clearer.
Cops are new and move to a new crib.
Gotta grind elusive, never let them know your next move.
Cause you ain't got shit to prove to anybody else.
Man, take yourself up off
that shelf, you don't need nobody's help, just wake up, lace up, and homie tighten that belt,
hit em so hard with the flames, that they brains all start to melt, sharpen that skill, make it
ill enough to kill, don't just do it for the money honey, do it for the thrill, shit it just might
pay the bill, woke up a lot in the morning, scraping and scratching for a meal, but I ain't
Wayne Brady bitch, I ain't looking for a deal, guidelines, strong punch lines. Just call me the man of steel. God's the only power to
wish I shall ever nail. Now he's got me rising, grinding, living his life just so, so real.
Now he's got me rising, grinding, living his life just so, so real.
You on that? On that what? Ah, you on that grind.
You want that grind?
Ah, you guys are.
Uh, yes, uh.
Mm-hmm.
Rise and grind.
Rise and grind.
Time to shine.
Time to shine.
Keep on gleaming boards
till you make them blind.
Do your thing, girl,
till you blow their minds.
Rise and grind.
Rise and grind.
Go ahead, man.
Hit them with the note.
Hit them with the note.
Get your ass up and grind. Go ahead, man. Hit it with the note. Get your ass up
and grind.
Yo, that was absolutely
fucking amazing, D-Coup.
I love that, dude.
You said it wasn't mixed all that well.
You fucking lying, sack of...
No, dude, that was absolutely fire.
You just inspired me, homie, because that flow, everything on that, like the way that you...
Dude, I love it, dude.
I got to hear more, too, dude.
I got to hear more.
This is going to be fucking...
You just got me down a rabbit hole for music.
Dude, you know when somebody shows you a new band or something like that right and they show you that one song that really resonates with you
and you're like oh my god that's it and now dude yo all right so real quick before we like get into
any other talk or like another song or anything like that i gotta know my guy where where can i
find your music like what's the easiest most easily accessible way um
all right so we'll say it for everybody first but then i want to point out i don't use spotify
myself so i don't know if you're on spotify or not but where can i listen to the tunes on the
daily hey appreciate you brother truly man yeah that one is uh that one is yeah i think that's the the most one of the
most resonant songs that i have and that's why i love to play it because it's just kind of something
you can relate to i think anybody can relate to is you know waking up and and just getting to the
grind because it's something we all do but i wanted to make it more about you know waking up
and pursuing your passion versus,
you know, waking up and, oh, you got to go make that money. You got to go, you know,
clock in, you got to go sell that bag, you got to whatever. I wanted to make it more about
waking up with that inspiration to, you know, do what you love. And, you know, me, that was
four of my boys in the studio there. It was me and my cousin. I was on the hook in the first verse.
He was on the second verse. And then my buddy Max was the one kind of talking to me there. He was like, yo, you on that grind or whatever. And my buddy Mitch, I told you, the ad-lib king there
was the one with that little rising grind at the end type thing, which was a lot of fun.
So it was cool. Collaboration really brings the a lot of fun. Um, so it was cool,
you know, collaboration really brings the, the passion out of me. I, I woke up one day,
you know, me and my cousin smoked up a little bit and I just like, yo, I just have this idea,
like, you know, rise and grind, bro. That's what we're doing. Like, let's make a song about it.
And he was like, yeah, bro, let's do it. And you know, then we, we kind of all just got together
and made that what it is. And you know what I think really drove me to play that one as the first track on, you know, when I,
I show somebody my music or, or do an interview or whatever, um, is because my, my best friend,
Mateo, he actually loved that song so much. It's his alarm clock. Like that's what he wakes up to
in the morning. So I was like, damn dude, if that, you know, It's his alarm clock. Like that's what he wakes up to in the morning.
So I was like, damn dude, if that, you know, that's the beauty of music that I, you can have
that kind of, you know, effect on someone, um, to start their day in the right way, then that's,
you know, so the style of music that I really, you know, wanted to pursue and still continue
to pursue as far as where to find my music right now. I'm a little bit
all over the place. I'm trying to be, you know, more focused, um, for something like that. And
my older stuff to see the beginning of my journey. Uh, I haven't put any newer stuff out on it yet,
but on SoundCloud, cause you know, that's where a lot of us started. Um, so it's, it's somewhere
where I'm not going to ever leave. Um, it pretty much everything is decoup official or decoup stuff on sound XYZ, but I think,
um, kind of straying away from there.
Um, it's available.
I have some stuff that's minting, um, which when I, when I get to those tracks, I'll,
I'll post at the top, um, on Noom, uh, which is a great platform as well as AIOW through
Ape Chain.
You know, Rick was talking about Ape Chain earlier.
I think Ape Chain is a great platform for artists now
and a great community of vibes.
Just in general, a lot of awesome communities
and fun stuff going on there,
which I've connected with recently,
but look forward to connecting with much more in the near future.
I have not released anything on DSPs besides one of my
original songs that was the first one I recorded solo, which is just an important part of me as
well. I put that out on DSPs just to have my profile set up because I do plan to drop on DSPs.
Eventually, like I will be dropping a song or two probably in the next month, but I'm
not doing it just through DSPs, right?
I'm not just like, oh, I'm just going to throw my stuff on Spotify.
A lot of my music is going to be completely exclusive to Web3 and not to go into a complete chill, but minting my music
gives you the opportunity to not only vote on projects and kind of how they develop, um,
you know, still staying true to myself, but also connecting with my community and my fans.
Um, but also which ones, you know, do we want this one to be kind of exclusive for longer?
Do we want this one?
Do we think this is a banger and maybe it will, you know, elevate my career or whatever,
but also hand in hand with those who mint being able to receive streaming tokens and
be a part of that journey.
So if the song mints more, you know, you have a piece of that pie and, you know, maybe you'll
make a dollar off of it.
Maybe, you know, in the longer term, you'll, you'll make a dollar off of it maybe you know in the longer term you'll
you'll make back the money you spent on the mint maybe one day if it ends up being a real you know
banger that a lot of people connect with and it gets a lot of attention maybe you'll you know
you'll make some more money who knows but i never want people minting my music to look at me as an
investment i want them to look at it as you get to be
a supporter and more, more active and engaged and have opportunities to be
an integral part of my journey is the whole thing.
Yes, dude. Honestly, I love the whole web three side of it, being able to mint your music and
your songs and shit that for me, that's something that's amazing for artists and like the
audience right we get to have a piece of you too and the the the rev share type aspect of it's
pretty just insane but i think bringing the music space to the web3 space is like the best thing we
can do for both the community and for the artists right you? You guys are going to have, it's more direct to
artist payments and stuff. And it's more direct to consumers, so to say, direct to the audience.
I don't like to call it consumers because it's different when it's music. I know we're consuming
everything that we see, touch, feel, whatever, but it's different. And you're creating and curating
a show and a presence and an atmosphere for people to be a part of, dude.
And I resonate with it a lot in what you're doing in particular.
So I definitely, when we get to the Web3 side of it all, and I normally ask for like a call to action as well.
Like, you know, that's something actually Rick put it in words for me one day.
He said it to somebody and I was like, yo, that's it.
That's the word I'm looking for.
But, yeah, for sure, man.
Can we have D-Coop headline the burning sock when we do that?
Because I'm digging.
I'm sorry, burning Gus.
I'm digging D-Coop and the community vibes.
My burning sock. What the hell is burning sock? It's burning vibes my burning sock what the hell is burning gus you know what i just took a fatty so you just leave me alone let me settle in here
is it like burning man with but instead it's like all statues and art made out of socks that
we burn is that is that what's going on all right so green gus if you take a look at
the sock puppet nft profile you can see green gus peeking out right there he's our mascot that's
the puppet uh socks gave birth to him himself and you know stitched him into this world and
here he is but yeah it's like it's exactly it's like a burning man but we're gonna have green
gus statue over there and stuff where musical festival all kinds of stuff we have
other fam in here too that um quack life they do like they want to do healing centers and like
uh playgrounds for adults and just there's so much and the whole gpc movement and uh yeah what's up
rick i see you over there my guy no bro i just wanted to say i love your stuff, Dekoop. Also, obviously, you being a weed connoisseur slash advocate,
we do on a Friday a mega stream.
I don't know if you're into streaming, bro,

It just seems like the whole of X is starting to wake up to the fact
that streaming is the way.
Also, because your content gets pushed so much more when it's streaming.
But I'm seeing big influences recently starting to stream
and I'm just like, that's cool, bro.

we with some of the biggest weed um accounts on x plus the whole
green pill collective we pull in about 2 500 uh viewers slash listeners per episode uh and growing
every week so yeah man if you want to come jump on uh maybe show us some of your music talk a bit
about weed the market uh bro i think it's a good fit.
And yeah, man, totally open to that.
Yeah, I would love to, brother.
Absolutely.
Unfortunately, right now, I'm working weekend nights a lot.
Long story short, I got sick of my real estate job and quit.
So I went back to a little bit of my bread and butter of slinging drinks.
And, you know, ironically, between that stocks and crypto,
I'm making more than I was with real estate. But it comes, you know, at a cost of, you know,
being going from the rookie bartender at my new spot to becoming, you know, top dog,
essentially very quickly. So they're, these, these dudes are trying to have me working like
six, seven shifts a week, sometimes doubles. But now that I've, you know, kind of gotten a little more seniority pretty quickly, I'm slowly starting to be like, hey, you know, I need I need some nights here for myself, guys.
I have, you know, a life outside of this.
So we definitely truly appreciate the offer and would love to coordinate where I can take a Friday off just to come kick it with you guys.
That would be awesome.
Yeah, no rush, bro.
When you want offers there, fill up.
I think it'll be a good fit, bro.
I think they'll enjoy it.
Yes, dude.
Let's go.
Yo, so actually, Rick, I'm glad you brought up the streaming thing because I was going to ask.
I know we've had Clay Jean and Otter Body on here in the past past and i don't know if you know who they are decoup but i
kind of assumed you do because yeah you're plugged in with trey and trey to dizzle tricky buddha
zal all them guys over there they're all fucking they're they're what's up they're the they're
the shit the collaboration and like musical experts over there i I say. But the streaming thing, I don't know if you do Metaverse streams
or if you do
other types of stuff, but
I hear there's some rumors about some new stuff
coming up for that, too.
So I'm going to keep my eyes out
on what I'm hearing, but I'll let
you all know ASAP.
What is this?
The Sockpap and Sword?
No, no, no. I'm not exactly sure where how or when but i know that there's some streaming services that are going to be coming out
it's going to be capable of all i've i i spoke i spoke this morning by the way to uh ov on a chain
i did mention earlier and um yeah brother we we're speaking to them we're going to be
streaming on there they're still in like beta phase though so we have to just be a little
that's on ape too right ape chain yeah yeah it's like there is you know like um abstracts got their
streaming it's just going to be like streaming but basically for uh for ape chain um but we're
going to be definitely uh green pill collective we'll be
on there one of the first i'm already in the discord chatting to them uh the only problem
is right now the limitation is six people streaming at once and as you know you know
every every week we go up by like more streamers i think tomorrow if i'm not mistaken i think tomorrow we've got um
10 people so we we at the max for tomorrow i'm i'm so hyped
that's insane dude yeah every week it just keeps growing more and more man
yo yes how you doing dcoop how everybody today oysters is back over here
yes dude oh my bad i didn't realize i was still on
i'm good bro i'm just kicking man drinking my mushroom coffee still
still a little sleepy because i closed the bar last night but i'm i'm kicking it bro
i'm having a great time.
Which mushroom coffee are you sipping on?
Because I'm sipping on mine with some local honey right now.
Nice, nice.
Yeah, dude, local honey is the move.
If you guys don't know, I'm very much a hippy-dippy type, too.
So buying local stuff from your local farmer's market or wherever you can
get it really makes a difference. Fun fact, local honey and bee pollen will actually help your
allergies a lot. Something that definitely saved my life when it comes to that, because my allergies
are terrible and my black car has about an inch of pollen on it. But yeah, I do a, when it comes
to the mushroom coffee, I do a, what is it? I think it's called pure shrooms and it's like a 10 piece blend.
So I actually learned that from one of my homies, um, B tabs in a space.
He's a, from the psychedelics anonymous.
Uh, he's also a, uh, an incredibly intelligent dude who does podcasts on, on everything from
psychedelics to, you know, as simplistic quote unquote, as like mushroom
coffee and the benefits of it. And he, you know, at first I was drinking one that had like three in
it and he was like, that's, you know, that's a good start, but you know, like a 10 blend with
10 blend with like Chaga, Reishi, Lion's Mane, Cordyceps. Um, you know, there's five others.
I can't think of the top of my head, but yeah, man, like, you know, I was an avid espresso
drinker and I still like a good espresso here and there, but something about mushroom coffee,
like it wakes me up, but it keeps me feeling focused and creative versus waking up and
popping like a double shot of espresso and being like all jacked up.
Like sometimes you need that maybe, but I kind of prefer the balance aspect. Bro, I'm the same way. We went through a couple.
I use Rise. They're an eight blend. And same thing. It's just so good. And the amount of focus that you have versus like, so you get to explain it's like an energetic focus.
Like you can focus, like hyper focus on things.
But when you have coffee, you get that same energy, but you really can't focus on one thing.
It almost, sometimes coffee gives you an ADD vibe where you just can't really sit one thing you kind of it almost sometimes coffee gives you an add vibe
where you just can't really sit still you feel restless uh and sometimes that made it harder for
me to get work done or it would send when i used to have anxiety i would have panic attacks from
like too much caffeine because i would start shaking and shit and i'd be like something's
wrong with me i'm dying uh but like mushroom you know, you get the right blends and you do your research and, you know, that focus and clarity is just there.
And it's and it's long lasting. You know, it gets me through the whole day, I feel like.
Oh, yeah. A hundred percent. Yeah, I definitely feel that like ADHD vibe from coffee because it's like you'll you know, I'll drink mushroom coffee and I'll be like, okay, cool. I'm going to like, you know, work on this song or like, you know, I'm going to,
you know, focus on, you know, doing some specific stuff around the house or whatever.
But yeah, I drink some coffee and I'm like, okay, cool. I'm writing this song. Then I get like four
bars in and I'm like, oh, well, well now I got to go, you know, like, uh, clean up around this
area. And then I got to, you know, versus like, okay, spending this
hour dedicated to like this focus versus trying to do like seven different things in an hour.
And then being like, what was I even doing? I was like,
Big man, have you ever tried mushroom coffee? I know. I know we talked about it. I couldn't
remember if you tried it. Only mushroom tea. Okay. I know what kind of tea that is. Yeah.
I haven't yet, dude. Honestly, to be perfectly honest with you, man, I had, I had one coffee
this week and I've been like drinking these pure leaves instead and I don't get the extra
sweetened ones or not.
And then I've just been kind of, I don't know, weaning out on the coffee a little bit.
But like I still drink my coffee and I'll probably end up having to pick up some of that mushroom coffee and try it now because I'm getting the old crap out of my system.
Right. So now I'll get some of the new stuff in there and it'll be yummy, yummy.
Sorry, big man's like half asleep this morning still, dude, for some reason.
I'm like, I'm fucking pumped.
I'm hyped.
We got decoup in the building, but I don't know what it is.
This is like this little fog everywhere, bro.
And I feel like it was like that for a lot of people this morning.
I noticed that mama bear said something about waking up late.
Crypto stoner was tired this morning.
Like I was, dude dude i almost fell back asleep
like 10 minutes before the space i was like what the fuck it's crazy i was like no way dude
and oh yeah dude it was wild you know what that means it's a download day yeah dude it must be
energetically usually i feel like when i have these days I'm just downloading a lot universally so like I I feel but I feel like you know the reason that we're having that same collective
feeling is or got up a little later feel a little foggy we're probably just receiving information
we've seen you know a lot of hype this week and stuff so yeah it's crazy that uh because yeah I'm
noticing everyone else I think even wifey might just be getting up.
And, man, she will not really sleep this long.
So, yeah, something's in the air.
Maybe we all take a nappy, a little siesta for everyone today.
Because we're so close collectively, right?
So we're all just, like, getting that shared experience now.
It's like, oh, no, big man was tired.
So now everybody has to feel tired.
Shit. It's amazing, dude.
It's a great time.
The space vibes are always good. Even when they're a little slower, they're
just fucking... We're chilling, man.
I'm fucking...
I'm excited,
dude. We got so many collabs going
on today with the GPC and shit, bro.
We got the oysters that are popping through, which they're looking for some debut projects
and shit, beta projects to be launched on their platform, dude.
I don't know if you caught that part, Crypto Stoner, but yes, dude, I mentioned how we
got like 25, 30 plus projects over there, man.
And I know there's bound to be at least a couple that'll make
it over there yo what's up boys this i see you yo yeah and uh i was jumping in earlier and just
uh accidentally interrupting people not uh yeah man we definitely want to uh connect with as many
projects as possible like the oysters is the is the first go the the genesis collection the alpha collection for the
the kosha launch pad but um yeah we have like six or seven i think beta projects now we're
definitely trying to get that number up to like 20 to 25 um you know before they go to that phase
which is going to be later in june um yeah man it's gonna be awesome definitely definitely like
now that i got an invite over to the to the Collective as well, I'd love to connect with more of you guys. And yeah, we got a pitch deck and everything. I can show you the ins and outs of it, how easy it is to onboard your own UI. Like even if you only have, you know, JPEGs or PNGs, you know what I mean? We can build that out for your own landing page on the Kocha Launchpad. You know, your users can come over and mint, you know, you get the organic rarity aspect
of it.
You know, you also get a cool gamified experience where, you know, users can create their own
characters.
It's going to be really cool, man.
It's going to be seamless.
Yes, dude.
No, that's awesome.
I'm wicked excited to see what, not just what you guys come of it, right, what you guys are doing, but what
the collaborations that come out of it
like I said, we do have a lot of hefty projects
over there that are, they're pushing
some pee, like, you know what I mean, they got
they got a lot of weight behind them and
yeah, dude, the Mad
Queen in particular, she's like, her
and Berlin, their whole team
with the Yetis and the like the
Moon Ape Labs and everything,
which, by the way, CryptoSnow, we will end up getting into a Yetis and Solana Deads.
I want to make sure all my fam get some love today, as always.
Dude, that's every space with Eggman, and that's going to happen.
And even if it's just that right there, dropping a name like that, dude, it's going to happen every time.
But, you know, y'all want some music or or we got some more from decoop or
what what do you all want to do well first i want to ask oysters so like
i you know i vaguely remember you know again seeing you before and everything like that but
does the you know from the dmv does the the story of the oysters have anything to do with like the local ecosystem and such yeah so uh we i mean i grew up around here i've been here i was born in dc and grew up around
here my entire life but then our team actually formed because um i don't know if you know
salisbury and ocean city probably do dude i went to school there for a year and a half
oh wow yeah so me and um the other guys, one of them went off to
study national medicine in Oregon. That's Joe. And then our CFO, Griff, the third member of our
company. Well, I mean, all four of us as well, actually. Nick went there as well. We all went
to SU. I'm actually going back to start grad school in the fall, start working on a master's
and MBA. But yeah, we all, you know,
grew up around the Chesapeake Bay. And, you know, when we were younger and stuff, you know, our
parents would, you know, my dad, for example, like we would go out crabbing and things like that
without, you know, you didn't need any permits or any, you know, you didn't have to jump through
any hoops to like go fish and stuff like that. And, you know, overfishing and like pollution
and things like that have destroyed a lot of the, you know, a lot of the local ecosystems specifically. So kind of the Chesapeake Bay
and the Eastern shore definitely, definitely played a part. And, you know, it's a shame that
like all those, you know, all these kinds of regulations and things like that have popped up
for, for fishing and all these different, you know, it's, it's stifled out of people's, what
were initially hobbies, but, you know, with oysters, like the thing is that the oyster reefs, they come to, they basically like
agglomerate kind of like on rocks and things like that on the, you know, on the ocean's floor.
And then what they do is they actually, you know, filter, they eat their, the way they eat is by
eating the bad stuff out of the water, the little microorganisms and bacterias that like,
you know, pollute the water. So, you know, when people areisms and bacterias that pollute the water. So when people are dumping
and stuff like that, the oysters are eating it up and filtering the water for us. And so definitely
kind of brought that over here. And then that's kind of the tagline is filtering the Solana
ecosystem, filtering crypto. So we're kind of doing the same thing with organic rarity,
filtering out the manipulation, filtering out the bad stuff, just like an oyster. So yeah, man. Beautiful, man.
Beautiful. I love it. I love it. Okay. Yeah. Now you're, you're bringing back the, the remembrance
and dude, that is, that's awesome. Um, you know, I could, I could go for, for days about, you know,
my thoughts on, on especially the local environment issues and things. Now seeing,
I won't go too deep, but recently I saw that there's going to be a lot of harvesting and
deforestation in middle to lower Virginia up to West Virginia, which is crazy because it's
the last forest we have left around here, essentially, right? I mean, it's pretty much all becoming city and it's like, what are we going to breathe? And then, yeah,
I grew up going to Ocean City every summer and enjoying being in the water and experiencing
all the animal life and such. And it's so sad that that's not something as a majority that we're proactively – there are a lot of people out there.
They have certain programs and stuff to assist, to get involved with and everything.
But as a majority, not doing our to somebody the other day about Salisbury and how
unfortunately, you know, Purdue is actually, you know, being sued in a legal lawsuit over,
you know, polluting the local areas and waters with waste and things like that. So it's crazy
times, man, crazy times. But I'm really happy to see that you guys, you know, brought that into Web3.
And I'm definitely down to support in Web3 and definitely outside of Web3 locally for sure.
Yeah, the Purdue School of Business, man. I mean, you guys know about you go in the frozen aisle and you see the Purdue, the Purdue chicken.
That's where it comes from. Salisbury, Maryland. It's pretty. It's funny. It's the only thing they really got going for them out there.
The whole town's economy is like the university
and then the Purdue factories.
And I think they got a couple Pepsi factories out there.
And then like 40, 45 minutes,
you guys probably know about Atlantic City, New Jersey,
with the Trump Hotel and all that stuff.
Everyone's heard of that.
But then Ocean City, Maryland,
Atlantic City, Ocean City, New Jersey, actually. And it's near Atlantic City, I believe. And then there's Ocean City, Maryland, which less people have heard about. But yeah, we have a ton of,
a ton. We have Assateague as well and Chickateague with, you know, there's tons of horses out there.
You go out, see the horses on the beach and things like that. That's a really protected area.
But then the water, you know, the Chesapeake Bay and actual watersheds have been, it was more in the, you know, the 50s and the 60s. There was
actually a war. It's not a war, but there was like an armed conflict between Maryland and Virginia
over oysters, over fishing in the Chesapeake Bay, where they started, yeah, they started like
shooting at each other. It was insane, man. I loved going to, when I was younger, going to West
Virginia. I think you had said something about west virginia west virginia is absolutely amazing it's a shame
to see what has happened to some of the communities specifically in the south and the west and south
you know it's uh it's it's super super impoverished after you know uh coal because i was coal mining
you know any rocket boys stuff like that right but it's one of the most beautiful states uh in
all the united states in my opinion definitely once i up, once I have, you know, some bread, buy a house up there,
build something, you know, in the mountain.
Davis, West Virginia, the Canaan Valley, all types of really, really cool stuff in West Virginia.
I mean, the Appalachian Mountains in general, but yeah, it's mostly the federal government, man.
You know what I mean?
Just coming in, it's like, well, we're going to destroy all this forest and we're going
to build more $2,500 rent apartment buildings that nobody can even really afford.
And we're going to put this and that in there.
I don't know.
I think that, you know, we're making some steps in the right direction in terms of what's
going on nowadays, but it's really just a, it's like how much damage can you really reverse?
You know what I mean?
These are things that take decades and decades.
It's been, you know, 60, 70, 80 years of just BS going on
and just, you know, the taxpayers getting scammed,
all types of stuff.
So, and that leads to, you know, infrastructural issues.
So, you know, we'll see what happens,
but I'm hoping that they can definitely put some more,
some more tighter grips on, you know, some more initiatives for, you know, cleaning up those waters.
And, you know, yeah, pollution sucks, man.
It's crappy.
100%, man.
100%.
And I wish, oh, man, I wish I had, because I definitely have some, like, progressive, like, advocacy style music stuff.
But that's not, like, ready to play but I I wish it was
um but damn dude yeah and you've really like kind of tapped me more into that and and inspired me to
to think more and and write more in that regard because you know my my perspective is that it's
like almost every you know kind of revolution and when I say revolution, I don't mean burning down buildings and going crazy,
but every rise up throughout history of making change has had music a specific part of it.
And part of that with me with the DMV is the ecosystem and the land and the people involved with all that kind of stuff.
So yeah, man, love what you're doing. And thanks for the inspiration.
Yeah, dude, it's like, you know, being around DC, it's like,
it's super around here. It's, you know, everybody, everyone's got,
got, you know, I mean, except for, you know, it's, I'm in PG County.
So, you know, in lower PG County and things like that, it's different,
but you know, Inova and things like that, like everyone's got money, you know what I mean? Go to the city, you know in lower pg county and things like that it's different but you know in nova and things like that like everyone's got money you know i mean go to the city you know they've got
their prosciutto picnics and their champagne and things like that and you know what i mean they
don't really i don't really give a you know what i mean like they don't really care because it's
like nothing good because this whole area is like a little bubble almost you know what i mean it's
like you vote for that you know get you the this or that you, you know, you vote for this person, you'll be fine.
You know what I mean? Your job security is more important than, you know, everybody else.
Everybody's, you know, the people in. But at the end of the day, there's that big, you know, silent majority of people that do, you know,
actually have those traditional values and care about, you know, the earth and care about, you know, pollution and things like that. So, you know, we'll see what happens. The bureaucracy and,
you know, the political games have kind of, you know, put issues like that on the back burner,
but I'm definitely going to go back to West Virginia definitely this summer at some point,
probably do some cliff jumping and stuff like that. And just, you know, it's so easy to get out there and like, you know, just Airbnb, a cabin and things like that for decently cheap too.
Like Davis, West virginia it's
the highest point in west virginia um you know there's awesome ski area ski resort canal valley
if you're not you know have all the money to fly across the country to colorado but you love skiing
you know you can get airbnbs out there for really cheap too um you know i mean those people have
had those those homes for so long and even in the summertime they're even cheaper in summer and
there's awesome cliffs cliff jumping just nature in general is you know it's a trip man let me know
dude i love a good cliff jump yeah like i've uh done a little bit at great falls not not as much
opportunity necessarily there plus you get in trouble um but uh yeah and then uh spot in uh the three points where it's like delaware
pennsylvania and somewhere else intersect maryland maybe i don't know like there's a great spot out
there i went to uh but yeah cliff jumping uh and then at bahamas that was cool too um but yeah
cliff jumping is definitely a good hobby of mine.
It's a rush and it's being one with nature at the same time.
It's a beautiful, beautiful thing.
Yeah.
And what you were saying about music kind of inspiring people and things like that definitely rings true.
At the end of the day, we vote with kind of our dollar to a point.
And even if we do want to get out and everybody wants to be a proponent of change
and things like that.
It's like, what can we really do?
Well, you know, giving our, you know,
making sure that we're, you know,
buying things from companies
that are actually at the goal and things like that,
which is tough because, you know what I mean?
The cheapest, the ways to get things
for the cheapest amount of money
is to go to, you know,
give your money to the store brands
like the Walmart brand, you know,
things are the cheapest.
So they got us in this, they got this kind of system where, you know what I mean, those,
that money trickles up almost. And it's like, you know, you're going and you want to, you want to
live affordably, but then the ones that you want, the brands you want to support, like,
that's whatever it does weekly, right? Grocery shopping. Some of those brands are, you know,
those small business economy kind of like forces people into the city's forces, people to kind of, you know, collaborate with that same system.
And it's it's tough for small business owners, man. So we definitely got to support each other.
Yeah, 100 percent, you know, and and I'll be fully transparent.
Like when my wife and I first moved to Maryland, we found this Dutch market, which kind of, you know, connects to the, the mushroom coffee and honey talk, you know, a bit ago. And it was a great
experience, like going to this little Dutch market where everything was so fresh and locally sourced
and so good. And it was actually like, you know, a lot of times with, you know, organic and things
like that, it'll be kind of pricey, but they actually do good at a fair value price for a lot of their
stuff and you know you have you see these little like like 12 to 15 year old kids working there
it's like a family business everybody's so nice and everything and you know when we first moved up
yeah yeah the one in laurel by chance yeah yeah dutch amish market the amish be flipping freaking
cheese wheels like they're like they're bricks like the amish be flipping freaking cheese wheels like they're
like they're bricks like the amish be on some shit man they got like maybe they got they have
such good stuff the big potato wedges chicken cheese wheels all types of stuff man it's lit
dude so good so good and you know my wife and i moved here we were like transitioning so we kind
of had a little bit more time because we both worked from
home and, you know, things just weren't as, as kind of crazy and busy as they have been the past
like year and a half or so. So we went there a couple of times and we would like make a day of
it, you know, go out hiking, go there, get some really good stuff, come back, cook up really good
meals. And it just felt so good. Like you said, to contribute to like locally owned businesses, like the, the, the local environment, you know,
everything. And, you know, but, and, and that's kind of what has been weighing on me a little bit,
to be honest, is that, you know, we've, we've kind of fallen into, like you said, the convenience of,
of the bigger brand buying because you know we
can get harris teeter delivered and it's just easy and convenient and such um but we made a
pact that this summer we're definitely going to make more time you know we're going to make the
time uh to do that sort of thing because it's it's important to us we don't want to you know
spend the rest of our lives being like oh well you well, you know, it's convenient. So we'll just give our dollar to,
to the big corporations and look the other way. Cause that's, that's not us and you know,
not a, not a cycle we want to continue. And it's just enjoyment and fun and good food too,
at the end of the day. So good. Yeah. If you guys have a, in your areas as well, I mean, it's,
it's awesome. Like the Amish are really, really cool. The Dutch Amish and things like that.
If you do have an Amish market in your area, like definitely you haven't checked it out.
Definitely go check it out. I know like for for me, there's one in Laurel, Maryland.
That's it'll be like on Sundays, like everybody will go there.
The lines will be insane. Like when my me and my dad used to go um it was probably i mean i was young i was like
seven eight years old and stuff like that i haven't lived there in a while but i definitely
like uh whenever i ride by it nowadays there's a walmart up there i'll i'll have to go get
something sometimes and i'll ride by and the lines will be so long i'm like sheesh this thing really
thing really popped off so you know if you have one in your town you haven't checked it out go and
you know go and check out the amish markets man I don't know how the pricing is nowadays you know
I mean it's probably it's probably crazy because they got to compete but back in the day it was
cheap it was affordable they had like oh man it was crazy you know I mean they have all types of
anything any types of meat cheeses really and then bread fresh break fresh baked bread and
you know they would have those little like, you know,
kind of made to order things too. You could get like a,
you could get like a big piece of chicken wedges and like a roll and mac and
cheese. And it would be like 16, 15, $14. You know,
this was to 2011 or something like that. So, you know, nowadays it's probably
$25 for that same plate. It's a shame, but yeah,
not to stay on this topic for too long. But dude, the Amish are awesome.
Yo, they are.
I actually, I was in a town called Craftsbury up in Vermont.
And they have a couple different Amish general stores over there.
And it's honor system still, bro.
Like you walk in, the prices are on like a little sheet.
You leave your money in the box you take your milk
you take your eggs it's you know it's a general store it doesn't have everything yeah dude and
i love it like we still have little things like that in my town like there's people who have
chickens and stuff and they leave something on the side of the road and you you know you leave
some money in the box and we have like wood cords that are like that and we still use a little bit
of that over where I'm at.
I'm in kind of a rural area though.
But it's amazing to see. And I love it.
Yeah, 100%.
100%.
It's the nostalgia is so, so powerful too, man.
It just makes you feel good going in there.
The smells, you know, I mean, smells, sounds, music, anything can be can be nostalgic you know we're caught in between like a we're caught
a constant paradox of like wanting to to live in the past but also wanting to live in the future
you know what i mean like we want these things we want to feel you know walk in and see all those
you know the price is just right there and it's you know i mean in uh written in marker on things and um you know
all types of uh stuff like that and you know all those you know uh but then there's also you know
we got you like you said you know you could doordash or you could instacart uh you know
harris teeter at the same time and have your something delivered to you there's amazon stores
in dc now that you can walk in there's nobody even working there it's like they have security
guards and then it's like you go and you scan these things and this and that and um you know there's
all robots and stuff like that doing these hybrid stores and things it's it's a crazy society i'm
excited for the future i'm optimistic and glass half full about technology but i also understand
that you know i mean we'll never get the we won't get you know what i mean those you know those older
nostalgic experiences as much.
So it's cool.
Blending Web 3 with some of those things could be interesting.
Some of those past practices.
I think that's where music comes in.
You got to keep the history alive.
Definitely no rewriting or revising of those things. And that music, the history of music is definitely one of those big nostalgic factors.
The next, because when you go to Mars, mars when we do go to mars if we do right you
have martians it's like what are we listening to we're probably listening to classic rock man like
i listen to you know uh tupac and biggie and nas and you know what i mean all this stuff it's cool
yeah they're still listening to stuff from the 50s man you know what i'm saying up there
oh they're back like i don't know oh my god i can't believe that's like 75 years now
that's insane dude i'm i'm only going on 30 and i feel like a fucking old fart
i just so much like the way technology has progressed and expanded throughout the years
and time and no you mentioned nostalgia though.
And that's kind of one of the things that my brother and myself with the sock
puppets project, that's like, that's where it all came from. Right.
You know, sock puppets,
pet rock studios is the company that we work out of in Rhode Island.
And pet rocks, like, I'm pretty sure everybody's done this as a kid.
Maybe it's just me, but you know,
you're collecting the rocks and you take them and sometimes you paint them or you you know you
have a pet rock it's your friend now and so that's where the whole idea for the studio came from
and then he dived into Kraken Attack which is like who who doesn't want to be like a kaiju style
monster like breaking stuff up and like knocking them you know it's just all it reminded me of that
game Rampage a little bit,
but now you're in a 3d world and you get to do things.
And that was just a total web two game.
And then, you know,
one day he was just drawing and fiddling around and the sock puppet shape
came out and it was born.
And we were like, holy shit,
big NFT collection we thought about and all this.
So, you know, it's pretty cool man we're only
a thousand on Solana point one soul from in fees is my little sock show for y'all there you go but
we it's a game five pass though you get every single game that pet rock studios LLC produces
from here on forward it's in their operating agreement even if the company gets sold it's not
meant to be changed it's like it's official it's
there this collection id so it's pretty cool you get more than just the the pfp you get more than
the socks allocation a token you get a community you get game fi aspects and we have like musical
opportunities in there as well so we we've already been talking about putting like a theater in Sauk City.
It's going to have a plethora of buildings.
It's not technically a metaverse because it doesn't,
I forget what layer exactly it's missing,
but it's not technically a metaverse,
but it is a game and a community center for all of us to go into and just
connect, you know, and we'll do concerts and
we'll do uh live streams all kinds of stuff discord has an sdk now so we can like port over
all the sdk stuff for discord not sdk it's just a dev kit but port over the vc stuff like so voice
channels and all that tap to talk like it's just gonna be pretty sweet uh yeah uh yeah that's
pretty you know quick little show about the project that's done so rip the band-aid off real
quick you know no i love uh dude it's so cool that decoup and the oysters have like so much irl
in in common dude i absolutely love that and we're, I want to say holistic around here. And I
mean that in all the, all ways too, right? Not just when it comes to medicine, but if you look
at the word and words are like spells, you know, we, we look at things as a whole and we, every,
it's not just me, myself. I am not, there's not little tiny parts of me and all of this. And
they kind of are right, but I am, and we are, and that's what it is just be man just be I love y'all sorry that that's my
little soapbox tangent for for the couple minutes and I'll let the floor go back to you guys
yeah I think um you know one thing that that kind of you know gets me going about is like the the some of those things from like Chia Pets where you had the used to have the little thing that like you would grow it in the in the water.
I don't know why that that reminded me of Chia Pets.
But I'm checking out the I'm checking out the sock puppets a little more right now.
This is this is cool.
You got the little Gus.
And yeah, I mean, it's the sock city.
But yeah, metaverses and those things, kind of a lot of them were not killed.
I mean, there's still a lot of development behind some of those bigger projects.
Like I know in 2021, it was mostly like Decentraland and like deploying, you know, deploying your metas.
And being able to do that was really cool.
But it seems like kind of I mean they all just
became asset flips to a point which you know isn't necessarily a bad thing but you know it was a I
think it was what it was Zuckerberg came and he had changed the name of Facebook to Meta and the
stock pumped a whole bunch and then the stock also the coin, the Decentraland's coin pumped
because everybody was talking about Metaverse.
So it was kind of the inverse narrative to that.
And I'm not saying it was like orchestrated or anything,
but I was holding that coin and it was 90 cents.
And then a week later it was $4,
you know what I mean? And then everybody dumped it and then turn the asset prices of those markets
were screwed up. So, you know, it's tough to do supply and demand there with, you know,
economies that aren't really totally, I mean, they are organic, but the thing is that there's
so many games built on top of them that without the
without the user bases for those games and if everybody and those those token holders are also
holding the token of that metaverse and then everybody's dumping it or if there is a liquidity
event like that it's uh it's tough to sustain and they didn't have foundational support from like
the eath foundation and things like that really so i don't really know
why they because that was really fun back in the day decentraland and i think they were building
the sandbox was yeah i was gonna say the sandbox yeah dude i remember that and like you used to
be able to get a little plot and then go build your little game on there and then you could have
people go in and check out your game and all this. Like, no, dude, the concept is cool, but you're right.
Like that, you get taxed out of it basically, right?
Because of all the scalping and just the media around certain things that pumps charts.
And that's absolutely insane.
And we do have a token for Sock City, but it's meant to be an in-game economics token more or less.
So like there's an airdrop
allocation that's set aside for everybody who buys one of these og puppets they will be in-game
pre-sale uh pre-sale style like you can exchange it back and forth it's not nothing's going to be
locked up but you know it's meant to you be used in game when you play games in sock city and you
like run around the city and you do missions
and stuff your socks gonna get dirty so you're gonna have to wash your sock in a washing machine
which will be a laundromat we'll have the first laundromat but there'll be player-owned laundromats
and there'll also be player-owned washing machines so that the players can charge their own fee that
they want at those laundry machines and then of course like i said we'll have ours too
right so we'll have our set at a probably a lower price or a fair market price somewhere in there
and it'll keep like some type of stability within the in-game economics but also allow the
the people within the market to be able to have their own um their pull so it'll have almost like irl economics but inside of this game and it's just
very player driven and the socks token is just the main token you know that is used for all those
transactions and it's going to be cool we have a lot of different tokenomics that we're exploring
with it as well because we do want to like um introduce other tokens potentially for different
mechanics and just yeah there's a
lot going on right now we're kind of focusing on kraken attack and getting the release of kraken
attack out there that's the web 2 game and then when that's released we'll be able to go full steam
um into like everything that sock city has to offer obviously all the assets and stuff certain
things are still being worked on for Sock City all as we go.
But the release of Kraken Attack will really help us push another source of revenue towards this project in particular and allow us to be able to lift Sock City up onto the foundation that it deserves to be put on.
That's cool, man.
You have, you know, it's like I haven't really understood why there hasn't been more because
everybody wants to like jump into creating these you know big first person shooters battle royales
racing games so on and so forth but you know until web 3 gets down the concept of like these
simple games like uh like mine for example or the Sims right or
something I mean it's just isn't simple right there are lots and lots of aspects to it but
you know um not like P2E I guess it's more like where you have NPCs but then you also have people
that are able to bring their character into those immersive worlds and actually because it's tough
to test a token economy like beforehand right so it seems like a lot of these games have released their,
or had a build up to the release of their token
and their world.
And so how do you test that before, right?
You don't have the player base.
You could run, yeah, like a,
nowadays it's like you could use an AI to create
some type of simulation of what potentially could happen.
But it's like, if you have, for example, the swords that you would get in the game,
you would go and then you have people that are selling these swords to each other and things
like that. But in a lot of these games, the swords don't do anything like in theory you would need a
way to have it so like you know for example right the swords you buy that sword for a certain amount
of money and then it makes it so you can you know more rapidly you know make more money or farm or
whatever type of you know whatever you'd call it um and it seems like a lot of the projects have
tried and a lot of a lot of failed and I think that like that's due also to market conditions and things like that.
So I think it's like just, yeah, like what you guys are doing, like keep it simple at first, you know what I mean?
Get it down where you have, you know, a, you know, one town, one area, you know, that multiple, you know, all types of players can come into, you know, you don't have to jump to, you know, already having like everything built out with this massive ecosystem because then you need a massive player base and you need to make sure that all those things like play into each other
perfectly to have each aspect of the the entire game be economically organic organically economic
kind of or whatever you call it um yeah a lot of tried a lot of failed until we get down like the
mario parties the minecrafts the sims the simple It's like, then we can go on to the, you know,
to battle Royales and big Fortnite or whatever, huge GTAs.
Yeah.
We need those people that are building those simple games that actually like
can get people to play and are fun.
Yo, I wicked appreciate that opinion too, to be honest.
And it's cool.
Cause like we do have like a shooter game that's designed in like for like an idea. It's conceptualized anyway, like a paintball game, right? We don't want anything super crazy because we still want it to be kind of family friendly. But we'll also have like a 21 plus server because we do have like a lot of cannabis enthusiasts and stuff like that right so it's not just that but that's really what these first thousand nfts are too is these first thousand nfts they're like
our alpha testers these are the people who are going to have the early access to the game and
then when the game finally gets polished and it's ready to come out you'll be able to go in game and
mint a puppet and the puppet that you mint in game is going to be a naked puppet it's going to have
no attributes to it it's not going to have anything you're going to have to earn those things
through missions or gameplay or go and purchase socks token and go to the shop that's a player
owned shop and buy it off of another player who's either bought socks token to and to purchase the
items in the shop that they're going to sell or used it um
like earned those things in game right and then put it up there themselves so there's definitely
a lot to it but you're right small scale kind of test out each little part of it a little bit more
see how it runs and then and upscale it and there's like we we actually just kind of got into it like having regions almost right like not just the big city but that's kind of a different thing
that's more of a little alpha leak for y'all but uh yeah dude it's wicked cool so socks is
definitely over there cooking like i said um he came out with green gust shooter as well so there's
going to be other games inside of sock city although so there'll be a big Vloxel city that you can travel in, hang out with friends, go to different shops, do things.
And then there'll be like an arcade or something that you can go into.
And then you can play all Sock's original games.
And you can also play games that have come through collaboration work. So like, um, juicy nugs or Dubsy dragons or whoever happens to be around that wants to
put a game in sock city.
Well,
you can come in and get an arcade,
get an arcade machine.
And here it is.
And also he's making it so that,
what is it?
He's,
I think it's a unity SDK that he's making available.
I'm not exactly sure what it is,
but we're going to have files that are also available from the game as well
that players can use, similar to what the MoonApe Labs is doing
and what they had done where you get the 3D render.
So we're going to be able to make certain assets in the game
accessible to SOX holders.
It'll be token-gated so that you have access
to those files can build in game and i really like when you mentioned the um the asset share
i've that like um it had provoked that in my head too like not the conceptualization of that but um
i wanted to talk about that a little bit because that's a really really cool concept like now
imagine we can all go to a site and like you you know, Sock Puppets, Mutant Sheebas, Mutant Ape Labs, D-Bros, Dragon Punks, whatever.
We're all like in the GPC together, right?
And we're all working on different games and all kinds of different assets and whatever.
And we're like, yo, that's really cool.
You think you could do a cameo in my game with that?
You know, and then now it's, yeah, sure, no problem. It's just go to the site, grab the asset, know and then now it's yeah sure no problem it's
just go to the site grab the asset drag and drop more or less right now it's in there ready for me
to use it's got all your ip on it you know and obviously it's between trusted communities and
true collaboration but i'd love to see that man like that that's going to be some cool shit so i
really want to help push you guys too so that that we can, I know you said like,
you know, Q1, Q2 next year, whatever. And I like the, the realistic timelines on things too. So that's awesome. Um, that's like a long, more long-term plan, but I'd love to see that happen
and to be able to push, help push towards that thing with you guys. Yeah. The, um, you know,
kind of like my, uh, you know, I guess like middle, you know, I guess like middle term vision, because those are the things that we're, you know, doing in the long term with just, for example, like the timelines that I put on things just with our own devs.
It's like, what are we, you know, because there's so many steps ahead once you have that door open to organic rarity.
And so now I'm like thinking, you know, because we already have the algorithms and the math.
It's like, you know, fuzzy sets. It's like the algebraic stuff. It's
not that complicated though. You know what I mean? Once you have it, you know, in theory,
if you have the 3D modeling and the UI and things like that, if you had a different character or
if it was an oyster, you know, we haven't had any like spinning characters or any,
we haven't explored anything like that yet because we've been working mostly on the tech side or on the mid tech side of things but in theory you know what i mean you
could onboard that to your game and as long as you have a marketplace connected to the characters
that you build it's like okay we're going to now introduce into for example sock city you know we're
going to have people be able to go on the Kosher Launchpad Tether, link those two things together and then have the market,
you know, this would have to be, you know,
once that marketplace is already open or, you know, for now, right,
have it be on Magic Eden because they do have things where you can, you know,
they do have the options where you can go and inspect the NFT and you can see
the rarest traits or the rarity of traits and things like that which you know but
the problem has been that it's not organic so if users can come in they can build their character
let's say on you know on socks portal right you know we you know okay yeah you're going to put
an oyster there our users for example come in and build their oyster we would just have to do the
3d modeling and the animated character things like that and get all the attributes you know
they could pick their shirt and pick their hat and pick their wearables
basically like that you'd say in the central end of these metaverses you know they they have their
wearables there but then their wearables would already be part of an organic supply and demand
system then they could play as that character in the game and all of the other, let's say, if you had shops in the game or discarded
wearables from other people that were, you know, commons, right? That would be the theory. It's
like, okay, if you have something that's really common, so it's not worth anything on the market,
those people would then have like an inventory cap. So let's say you could only hold three pairs
of pants in the game, right? You would go and you, let's say five or something
like that would make more sense. You know, when you have a really common thing that's only worth
0.01 soul, those people would discard those things, you know, onto the ground. And then folks
that didn't mint initially, once the cap comes in, they would come and they would either be able to
buy through that already organic supply and demand system linked to a marketplace or pick those things up in the game by completing missions, so on and so forth.
Axie Infinity did it well for a while, right? But Axie Infinity wasn't as sustainable as
everybody thought because, again, you know, you get liquidity events, these price spikes.
It's really tough for games. But I'd see a lot of optimism in the futures, you know,
with a lot of these builders. It's just like who gets it right you know dude i'm i'm wicked glad you
pointed that out because one of the biggest things that at the early start launching the nft
collection we were kind of we're really we're really green to the uh the launch itself launch
my nft kind of makes it easy to just put stuff in there right we did we didn't realize the
attributes though like you know what i mean and so the right we did we didn't realize the attributes though like you
know what i mean and so the sock puppets actually don't have the metadata attributes you go pull
the metadata the metadata is blank it gives you the collection um name the number of the sock
puppet just basic information so what socks did is instead of like just getting rid of the
collection after we had already sold a bunch and all this other shit, he made an actual chart to display the rarities of everything.
And what your VIP is, how rare the skin colors are.
Every asset that there is, he made a chart for it.
And then he went and handmade every single asset to be put into the game.
Every combination that could have been made out of
those or like 3000 plus or whatever that he made so he has all of the puppets to pull so now we
can use just the basic metadata information with your mint number and all that stuff to still pull
your puppet asset into the game and now don't get me wrong all the future ones that come out
will have assets and they'll be like full fledged.
They'll be there.
But I think it's really cool.
And when you pointed that out, I used to think that was a downfall kind of.
And when you just pointed that out, now if people want to go get the real resale value out of their puppet, they have to actually take the time to go look at that chart.
Right.
So they have to go see what that rarity is at.
They have to go see what that rarity is at.
And it makes it a little less arbitrary.
And it makes it a little less arbitrary.
And some of the traits in there, like the VIP trait, for example,
there's only 85 of those.
And those are, like, they're not insider holders or anything
because nobody has a token.
But they get the information a day or two before, right?
So they're going to get, hey, tomorrow we're going to be dropping
this alpha in the space.
You know what I mean?
And it's about the game.
It's not like a fluctuation of chart stuff.
So it's not really that big of a deal.
The way I wear it sometimes, it makes me feel like I'm like, oh, that doesn't sound too
right when you think about it.
But again, we don't have a token attached to us directly at the moment.
That's an in-game driving mechanism.
So nobody's fighting on charts. nobody's doing any of this bullshit it's just um we wanted to be able
to give an opportunity these people like green gust shootout the vips knew about that a little
bit before every other holder did just a little bit and they're there to test run those things
before we announce it too right so we got 85 out of those thousand people that can run through and test run that game
and check it out before we say, hey, everybody, look, we got this thing.
So it's pretty cool the way that Sox, like, intentionally slash unintentionally had it
all set up.
Like, it's pretty cool the way it fell in place.
the way it fell in place. And as we go, it just gets more and more refined.
And as we go, it just gets more and more refined.
And then it's like, you know, take that, you know, kind of what we do. So then, you know,
look back to what we do. It's like, take that one step further and have it be so that chart
is algorithmically created by the users, basically, you know, take all, you know,
all of those things that have been, or, you know, you don't necessarily need that. I mean,
that chart would definitely still matter if you have you don't necessarily need that i mean that that chart would
definitely still matter if you have a gaming ecosystem right but take that initial batch i
guess you could call it because it will change like it you know if it was in a game it would
need to be a constant changing thing um but you know take that and put it in the hands of the
users let them create it and then let that first step be based on, you know,
what they've chosen to be, you know,
the rare attributes and then have that pop out
the combinations that are then associated
with those NFTs.
And that's where it's like, you know,
so many doors are open, you know,
especially when it comes to gaming, right?
It would have to be constant changing,
but you could use those same algorithms.
You know, it could be, you could have trait swapping systems,
so on and so forth. If you can connect all those concepts well, like, I feel
like that's an absolute goldmine. And that's what we're trying to open the door to, you know,
some of those games could be absolutely, you know, pop off potential kind of, you do it right.
Yeah, for real. And just like you, you helped me conceptualize an easy like example too.
We'll take like boots of swiftness right and then like heavy boots
they could both have an in-game attribute right like boots of swiftness you get like
1.5x the walking speed or something like that right in game and then the boots of steel you can
um like you don't get blown back by the wind or something like that right just a stupid example
but now before you even mint your character you
get to go through and select all these different gear right and it all starts as basic gear just
stuff that has that one in-game thing and then based on how many people picked that particular
item will determine the gear's rarity upon mint out so like when it's all minted out said and done now you had you've got boots of
swiftness but not many people picked that because the games you know takes place on a cliffhanging
side where a lot of wind wind focus type shit so it's wicked cool that there's that concept there
for growth all of it dude it could just interconnect and like i'd be totally down for something like that yo decoop i see you my guy what's going on buddy yo that's awesome bro it reminds me of like
if you know we're talking about like nostalgia and stuff like if zelda met fortnight with like
you know zelda with like that all you can equip these like thousands of different items that have
all these different like effects and then you know fortnight like the ability you can equip these like thousands of different items that have all these different like effects. And then, you know,
Fortnite, like the ability to like purchase it and,
and see what the price point is, you know,
for wearables that actually have, you know,
viable utility within the game. Like that's, that's mad dope.
You definitely brought the kid out of me with that.
Yeah, dude. No, for sure. And I love it. So like I know about Wilder World as well,
which I'm all for it. It's a wicked crazy metaverse. If y'all haven't checked it out,
check out Wilder World. If you're into the metaverse idea, they have like IRL type economics
going on in it. Land with resources. You use the resources to build materials, but it's all like
high res graphics graphics right which is
cool i love high-res stuff it looks like fucking gta 6 should you know what i'm saying it's really
out there but um i like that nostalgia dude i love loxel style i like that kickback almost comic book
vibe to it like that's just kind of where i resonate the most so though i like wilder world
i don't even see that like we're not even in the same type of like universe you know what i mean
it's like yeah i'm good that's like free guy type shit and i'm over here like nah dude i just want
to chill and be my little floxel sock puppet while trying to fight my way through the sock
pile to get into the club you know what i'm saying like
what or come in as an oyster dude and stand above the whole crowd you know what i'm saying you know
i'm saying square a little water out dude the collaborations are endless i was i was talking
about it with um with crypto stoner too because like i said you can use the most basic data and input something like even if it
was just one generic oyster model anybody who owns an oyster nft could come in and get that one and
then change their in-game assets with shirts and all kinds of shit or like um you could make it so
that however many oysters you got you pull the the info for it, and then boom, you just 3D model
the assets for it. I say big bang, boom, you know, it sounds super simple. It is a lot of work,
but it's totally doable is what I'm getting at. I talked about it with the Solana Deads as well,
dude. I'm not saying any of this is gonna happen i'm saying
the potential is there and it can happen the the right pieces fall in place the right conversations
happen just all kinds of stuff and we're not about money around here for the most part like it's all
obviously we're all here to make a little money right that's why i said the most part but
it's more about community and it's just connecting and building bridges i want to be a part of your story in all the best ways possible.
And I've been saying that since the beginning,
because that's what it's about for me.
I'm just the ultimate side character, bro. That's how I am.
Well, I think it's, I mean, I know, I know it's going to, I mean,
I don't know, but I'm pretty certain it's going to happen. Right.
And that's the kind of thing that we, you know, initially we were like, well, why don't we build the first step to it?
Because we saw so much manipulation in these markets and things like that.
Like with Fortnite, the Fortnite example, right?
There's no way, like with Fortnite, you know what you're getting, right?
With Fortnite, you know what you're getting, right?
You're going and you're paying X amount of money
and you're getting this, you know,
rare thing that looks cool
that you could run around with your character on
and shoot other players or whatever.
But eventually, and we didn't know when
and we didn't know how or why
people would come on to it.
But I do think eventually, you know,
Web3 Gaming is going to be completely organic
and there is going to be ways.
And I think that our tech is, you know, what opens the first door to that. And now it's
like, you know, it is possible to, you know, to build it. It's just like going and getting those
different partnerships, going, getting those, those games that also have the devs and then
getting them in, you know, channels together so they can, they can create those things as well.
Like dude, the, the, the main problem that I've seen with kind of cross-pollination between, like,
different gaming communities and empty ecosystems are the development languages.
Like, it's been tough for us with having to go and get Rust and Solidity devs to build
that on there first.
And now it's like, okay, well, we need to go and revamp what we've done.
So next we're going to SWE, but then it's like the EVM challenge, right?
You want to have, you know,
some type of system to have all of these things
be like interconnected.
And that's obviously, it's a big challenge,
but it's certainly doable,
like getting the right, you know, teams together
to go and build this.
It's going to happen eventually.
And we definitely don't want it to be done by,
you know, Epic Games or something like that
to come in here and, you know, build or build, but have the people those founders they've found that the
easy the easiest way for them to make money is to sell off their own things or you know what i mean
at least have systems where they have and then you know all those liquidity events and stuff like
that there's a lot of challenges and hoops to jump through but like eventually it will happen
certainly and i think web3 gaming ecosystems will be 100% organic. And that's where you can really start, you know, opening it up to the masses and things like that.
When people don't have that, you know, there are systems in place to make it so people have peace of mind in going and like paying for something in a game.
They know that it's not just going to potentially the entire thing could go to zero or the, you know, the specific attribute could be manipulated and things like that. So yeah, it's going to be cool. I see a lot of collaboration in
the future with us and with you guys and with everybody. I mean, anybody that, you know,
wants to get involved, people that already have those devs and already have those infrastructures,
it's going to be dope. I got to hop off here in a couple minutes, so I'm going to mute,
but I got to go talk to Joe. We got some stuff to handle, but there's also, I'm going to
hop in LaserAces space later.
And I think Dragon Punks is doing one.
And yeah, if you guys are still running it in like 30 or 45 minutes, I'll definitely hop back in.
So yeah, dude.
Yeah, dude.
Sounds cool, dude.
It's a pleasure to have you here, man.

but I used to do marketing for, uh, for Instagram influencers actually.
And, um, you know, I have a page over there that's got like 25,000 followers.

Because, you know, everyone's boozing, everyone's getting lit.
So, but yeah, man, I'll hit you up.
Definitely.
We're good to reconnect.
Yes, sir.
Yes, sir.
Let's do it.
And, you know, I'm over near Laurel.
Wow.
Laurel.
Laurel, bro. So, you know, i'd be doing some things over here as well and that's what pg county's like like 20 minutes yeah i'm
literally 15 minutes from you i'm literally in college park like i'm right down the street
now yes i'll be in laurel they have the thrift stores in laurel they have like four three or
four thrift stores that are pretty pretty solid if you like thrifting and shit like that I like to go
out there sometimes and you know pick through the random things I once found a
Care Bear that was like a gun to Care Bear they only this crazy story it was
like a gun to Care Bear they only produced it for like two years I saw the
thing was in one of those Goodwill boxes I sold it for like $250 it was insane I
like to go out there and see you know know, if there's, you know,
sourcing stuff on a Sunday and stuff.
I'll definitely have to come up to Laurel and hit the Amish market and hit
some of those thrift stores and stuff, bring you back.
Because I grew up in Laurel.
Our first house was over there.
I lived there for the first 15 years of my life.
It's a cool place.
Back then, it wasn't what it is now.
They got the big mall and all that stuff.
Now it's like back then the mall was like
deserted. I don't even know if it was, what was going on, but it's cool. So yeah, we'll definitely
connect. Yes, sir. Let's do it.
Yo, D coop. I know we had a little bit of an intermission in there with the web three. We
had some collaboration talk.
We was talking about some platform integration and stuff.
I definitely would like to take a little segue into some music if you got something lined up already.
And then after when we come back, I definitely want to hear some more about what you got cooking in the Web3 space.
And then we'll segue into the Yetis too and what Solana Dez has got cooking, if that's cool with you.
Yeah, man.
Yeah, dude.
You know, I honestly love this kind of setup way more where it's like a community thing and we got some music in between, some Web3 talk in between, everything, bro.
Because, you know, I love to learn, live, and connect with everybody, not just, you know, sit up here and be like, oh, blah, blah, blah. But, um, you know, like I said, like catering the music and everything to the conversation you
had mentioned earlier, like Atabody, Clayjean, Zal, you know, those, those are the mans, dude.
I connected with them, uh, last year and, uh, Zal was cool enough to put me as an opener at Zalchella at Basel, which was incredible.
Great experience.
You know, not only did I get up there as an opener, I showed up in the morning to help
set up so I could get to know everybody.
You know, I didn't want to just show up and be like, oh, I'm here to perform, blah, blah,
blah.
It was a really cool experience.
And shout out to Candy down
there. We've been in some Zao Shella talks, and it's been a pleasure to meet her as well.
And yeah, man, it was just so much fun. I got to meet God Cloud for the first time,
who I connected with here and there throughout Web3 Music Spaces. Met Atta Bodies, all
Binks from Third planet studios and everything
and it was just truly like a community show and there was just like so much support and it was
only my i used to perform a ton before covid you know at different venues and also at the night
club that i worked at i would i would perform while bartending which was the best job of my
life i would literally be pouring drinks while rapping and getting like double tipped. Like I was walking
out of there with like stripper money, dude. I'm talking like walking out on a Friday night with
like $1,500, like crazy. Um, but yeah, I was, I was a little rusty because I, you know, after
COVID and everything and getting back to just like writing music and recording more
versus getting on stage, which is a whole different beast in itself. And before Zaucella,
I had thrown a show in the DMV and just performed myself with a bunch of artists,
Nessie, Prophet, a couple of my local homies. And that kind of dusted the rust off, but going up at Zouchella in front of like a
50, 50 crowd of like people I had never met before. And then, you know, some of the music homies and
some of the community members that I did know, uh, was just an awesome experience and, you know,
out of body killed it. And that led to the Zouchella cher that I believe is dropping soon. I'm on there with, you know, Darius and Atabody and Clayjean and Hurricane and everybody.
So just an awesome, awesome experience.
But yeah, that runs me into the next track, which like we've been talking about is like
a mix of like futuristic sound as well as like a little bit of nostalgia.
You'll catch a couple
lines in there. Like, uh, I mentioned Tony Hawk and stuff like that, but I'll let the,
the music speak for itself. Um, this is supernova light. Let's go.
Yeah. yeah. crazy have I found my silver line cuz you're electric or sending shivers down my spine
just like a ride girl I chase you cross the sky
cuz out of seven sisters yeah your love is so divine
igniting seven chakras and my third eyes open wide
your kaleidoscope it gave me hope couldn't leave it if I tried
stranded out on Mars yeah my brain was feeling fried
till I caught a captive penis and I swear I damn you died
sexy lips luscious, it's AI electrified
That beauty overthrew me, my soul truly fucking cried
They say that love's a battlefield, but now I'm wondering why
Cause I feel like we're white, she's hot, tight and intertwined
Down upside, like a Tony Hawk grind
360 on the mountain, fuck yourself blind
Yeah, it ain't no lie, you're the freshest off the vine
Cause you age like wine.
And my style so refined.
It's a bad market.
But my one-on-one still shines.
For now it's Bluebird.
But tomorrow's headlines.
We're on a satellite flight.
As we burn into the night.
The vibe is super stellar.
And the energy is right.
I swear I'm going blind. From the supernova light. And I'll burn into the night. The vibe is super stellar and the energy is right. I swear I'm going blind from the supernova light.
And I'll never be the same for the rest of my life.
And I'll never be the same for the rest of my life.
Thought I was done?
Now we're just getting started.
My mind was down there before you.
I was so brokenhearted.
I was out here with the lost.
He's crushing.
Can't he retarded
So you love to control, did my injury restart it
Now it shares of my doubts, yeah they dearly departed
Thighs taking sky high, your backside is astronomical
Them starry eyes shine, yeah
Something phenomenal, going hop in this rocket
Baby it's a two seater, keep you plugged in like a socket
Cause I love your demeanor, Save the space in my locket,
if you'll be my Athena. Shoutin' bravo for Apollo.
Drip you out with Valentina. Now we're trippin' across the galaxy,
writing our own Rhapsody, sippin' from the Milky Way,
sippin' in our chalices. Our forces legend in this Star War,
while the rest be livin' fallacies. So let the maydors hate.
Yeah, we call them Greek tragedies.
Yeah, we call them Greek tragedies. Yeah we call them Greek tragedies.
Satellite flight as we burn into the night.
The vibe is super stellar and the energy is right.
I swear I'm going blind from the supernova light.
And I'll never be the same for the rest of my life.
Yeah, yeah, want a satellite flight as we burn into the night. I And I'll never be the same for the rest of my life Woo!
Yo, sorry, I was lacking on that because I was vibing
Dude, that was an absolute banger
That was a jam, dude
Oh, I see you over there, Rick What's up, my guy? Dude, that was an absolute banger. That was a jam, dude.
Oh, I see you over there, Rick.
What's up, my guy?
Was it an accident, maybe?
A dribble water fell on the mic, yeah.
Likely story. No, no, no, no, no.
I was meant to do that, bro.
I'm at the vet.
I'm at the vet, but I was meant to do that.
Getting a check up here for myself, John.
All right, all right.
I wasn't sure if it was for you or for the pup.
It sounded like you said the vet, so I was like, I hope the pup's okay.
But now I hope you're okay.
You know, this is my doctor, bro.
The vet.
My doctor is your vet, bro.
Oh, shit. All vet, bro. Oh, shit.
All right, bet.
No, but that was fire, bro.
Honestly, that's...
I've got to say, this has got to be up there
with one of the best guests you've had, bro.
By far, I'd say.
You know, this music hits, bro.
Yeah, I totally agree with that, dude.
D-Coop is fucking killing it, bro.
I absolutely love the vibe, the music.
You as a person, too, though, my guy.
Yeah, that jam, though.
I definitely want to hear some more.
You got some more.
Well, we could take that intomission to talk if you want,
if you want to just go into another track.
I know I'm down personally.
Kind of up to you.
Yeah, appreciate y'all, man.
Appreciate y'all.
Just a little snippet on that one.
And then I'll just run two more quick back-to-back
because I do got to jump in probably like uh, probably like 10, 15 minutes.
I got a studio sesh. I got two collabs. I'm trying to get out the next like couple of weeks. So it
takes, you know, working with other artists is a little more, a little more time intensive. You
feel me? Um, but yeah, that one, I don't know, man, I found this beat and it was so different
and I just had fun with it. Like I just, you know, the, the sound and the vibe of that was like really what I was experiencing
in the studio.
Like I was just jumping around, like have my own little party.
And to be honest, that song I didn't think was going to be something that people like
really resonated with.
It was just something that I made for myself.
And one of my best friends, he, you know, like I had said earlier, was one of those people, like I would show him music and a lot of my old school, like gangster hip hop type stuff.
And he'd be like, oh, you know, that's cool or whatever.
But I randomly just posted that one on an Instagram story.
And he immediately, like 10 minutes later, messaged me and was like, hey, bro, what was that one you posted?
10 minutes later messaged me and was like, Hey bro, what was that when you posted? Like,
because I only posted like a snippet. It was like a 20 seconds of the course. Cause I'd only done
like the first half of the song. And he was like, what is that, man? What is that? And I was like,
Oh, it's like some new style I'm working on. And he was, and he was, the funny part is he was
tripping shrooms at the time. Right. And he was like, bro, like, can you send me that? Like,
I need to like, I need to hear that. And I was like, sure. And he, and I'm like, still trying to talk to him, you know, about like, Oh,
he's like, no, no, no, just, just send it to me. I sent it to him. And at the time it was like
a minute and 10 seconds of the track. Right. And I'm not even joking a minute and 10 seconds
later, he calls me back and he's like, dude, I love that. Like, can you send me more of that
style? I was like, yeah, I mean, I've just kind of starting out with it, bro. But like, you know, I'll let you
know once I got stuff more like down the line and everything. Um, but yeah, so that was, that was a
cool experience. Cause it was something I created truly for myself, um, that really like stuck with
people and, and yeah, it's, it's, you know, something so different, uh, like a very unique style.
That's just out of the box and, and really out there, like no pun intended.
Um, so yeah, that was, you know, it was, it was a lot of fun.
This next one I'm going to play, uh, is a collab with, uh, the man himself, Nessie the
Rilla.
Um, you know, like I said, we, we threw a launch party for the VC, uh, last August in
the DMV, we had a pool party, um, through it.
You set up my stage on the back deck, our stage on, on my back deck to clarify.
Uh, and it was, it was a lot of fun.
It was a combination of my DMV homies, um, a DMV artist, and then a couple of web three
artists.
And we just had fun with it.
You know,
it wasn't anything serious.
We just threw the equipment out there and had a good time.
And Nessie was like,
Hey man,
you know,
I'm really,
I'm really feeling the vibes.
Like let's get in the studio.
Let's throw something down.
And the day he was,
he was leaving.
We just woke up,
got in the studio and this song just came to life.
You know, no pun intended on that
one either and yeah ever since it's just been something that brings back a lot of moments
and a lot of memories with the people that were there so here we go
hey we live live from Duality Studios.
With my boy D-Coup.
Got my boy Teo in the building.
We just kicking it.
Good vibes, all the other shit to the side, you know what I'm saying?

Yo, I needed that song today
I'm not gonna lie I think Rick may have played that song today. I'm not going to lie.
I think Rick may have played that song for us before.
Maybe I'm lying on that.
Maybe I'm not.
But it takes a village line right there.
I remember that particular line.
And dude, but that whole...
Honestly, that's what Big Man needed this morning.
Big Man's ready for life right now.
You know what I'm saying, dude?
That's how I know I resonate with music sometimes, dude.
It's like right there.
It makes me feel that.
And it's not always crying.
Sometimes it makes me feel like angry too, right?
You know what I mean?
But that one, it was my feels and it made me cry.
I was sitting here sobbing, dude.
I had dropped off on the emojis for a minute
because I'm just like, it's tapping out my eyes right now. But dude, thank you,
D-Coop, for coming in today, bro. Many flowers to you and to your journey and to everything you're
doing. I hope that people listen to you and they become as inspired by it as I am right now and
more and they go out and achieve what it is that they're inspired to do
thank you brother truly man truly you know that's that's why we do it um you know it yeah still
listening to that song it uh it makes me get teary-eyed too but like you know you know in a
beautiful way um it's yeah and that you ironically enough, like I said, that this song has a lot of pieces of moments from that day.
That line particularly is is incredible that it stood out to you because we had a moment where we had all the equipment outside and we were doing everything on the deck.
Right. But my buddy who had the mixer, he didn't tell me he was like until last minute.
He was like, oh, bro, I have a gig in gig in DC. I got to jump to at like nine 30. And I'm like, what? So we had to
try to reset up all the equipment before Nessie was supposed to perform. Right. Right. In between
all the openers to the headliner, right. Perfect timing. And there's this dude, had come with one of my other homies.
And why am I drawing a blank right now?
Jesus Christ.
It'll come to me in a minute.
But so he brought this dude and I hadn't met this dude before, you know, but he was there
helping us switch all the sound equipment.
Right.
Because I have these high tech JBL speakers, but of course they're not connecting to the Bluetooth and, you know, the, the, and then we're trying to do it,
you know, brick and mortar audio quality style, and that's not working. And we're plugging and
playing and plugging and playing. And, you know, I'm stressed now because I'm like, man, this is
my first show I'm throwing. And, you know, this is, this is what's happening. And, you know, the,
the dude who was helping me, we finally got it. We were like, yo, oh my God. And he looks at me and he's like, bro, it takes a village. And I was like, oh my
God. And so the next morning we woke up after that, like that stuck with me. And that just
became a part of the song and a part of the memory that like lives on from, from that moment in the
music. So, yeah. So, so thank you, man, for, for feeling that. Thank you for having me
today. Uh, this has been awesome connecting with you guys. Uh, thank you for giving me the platform
and, and everybody in the audience that's been vibing mama bear. I see you down there. I saw,
I saw you throwing up the emojis and everybody, candy tray, you know, everybody in the building.
It's been, been awesome. It's been a great day. Uh guys definitely, you know, hyped me up to really put
it in the music. And I will be more than happy to be back and to support you guys in any way that I
can. I will run one more to close you out because, you know, you kind of threw that inspiration in
me too with the, you know, you said sometimes it makes you this emotion, sometimes it makes you
that. So this final one is more on the,
on the rougher side, you know, more back to my, my old school hip hop roots for the drip music
tape. I was paired up randomly with a producer who had a very different style than what I've
been doing lately. And this beat kind of just brought it out of me and it will be the next
drop off of my EP um so thanks again guys
definitely we'll chop it up with you right after this one for a bit before i gotta
jump to the studio sesh but this one is called voices let's go We'll be right back. broken I'm going to go to the next one. He brings a beat, broken concrete, where those shadows meet. All three feet, you either freeze and you hold your heat.
No chance to speak, likes you drumline, and you talk, say don't skip a beat.
Talk to the cloud, I'm gonna move a step.
Watch the cap for the bag, who's there for the health?
My holes in the paint, come on, lose the shelf.
Sight to the end zone, team Kelsey, play, stay clear.
Don't make me go messy, hold for the night.
Look for your legacy, Hercules, Hercules.
My team fly on legacy.
And every line hit like a Jake Paul fish. Tyson, another person, don't break, don't twist. We'll be right back. Back to the block with the hustle on lock. The streets going tight, TikTok don't stop. Red note like a death. They always get blocked in the heartbeat.
It's not true being scheme.
It's a bar in a dream.
Like they sweeten the glass they made.
Fake on the scene.
Cut, wait, stay lean.
I'm trying to break chains.
It's a free turn play.
Bad, say you lose with the pantomime back.
And cause the alley goes straight to black.
Could be lost in chaos, but I'm up on track.
Can't stop the stack.
Turn my city on the map.
Can't do truth, so I'm a soldier's bow.
I ain't in my face, my hand won't fall.
I'm an ass, I gotta break the mold. You get a go-for-love, you get a go-for- both. I ain't in my face, my hand won't fall. I'm gonna ask, gotta break the mold.
You the go for love, you the go for gold.
You don't let it get this story unfold.
You don't let it get this story unfold.
Voices in the street and they got it.
There's a beat, spoken concrete.
Where those shadows meet.
I'm 3P, you need a freeze.
And you're holding it.
No chance to speak.
Black's your drum line. And these odds, they don't skip on me. again appreciate y'all appreciate y'all big man it's been a pleasure rick great vibe with you homie definitely looking forward to to streaming or kicking it with you. Whichever we can do and figure out.

If you want to get tapped in with the music, you want to know what's going on in this Web3 musical
industry, it's up and coming. And I promise you, in the future, this is where you're going to see
your artists. This is where the real, real stuff is going to start coming from. Just wait. That's
a big man guarantee. You know what I'm saying?

all, keep the vibes alive. Yes, dude. That's right. You know how it would do.
You know how it would do, baby.
I needed that song today, though.
You got Big Man up and ready, dude.
Big Man normally comes out ferocious.
I come out from the corner.
I ain't a swinger, but I come out ducking, bobbing, and weaving,
ready to take them blows any day.
Boom, boom.
I don't give it back tenfold, but, dude, I don't know.
Today I was a little sluggish.
You played that. I got my good little cry know. Today I was a little sluggish. You played that.
I got my good little cry out. I got my feels out there, dude. Yo, I don't know if y'all can hear
the difference in my voice or not, but I know I can feel the difference and I know that it's here,
dude. Thank you so much for that, D-Coup. And I hope everybody else got to feel a little something
about it. You know, that's what it's about, about bro and just thank you for sharing your diary with us because that's the way i see it that's like we're peeking into
your diary right now and you're letting us so thank you yes sir thanks again guys much love
peace peace until next time yes sir y'all make sure you go drop my man D Cooper follow D Cooper in the DMV. Yo, I know.
I know it ain't just a pun on the DMV either, but it's a good one.
I like it, too, because you make the vibes at the DMV that much better.
No matter which way you're talking about it.
Thank you, man.
Yo, with that being said, I know D Cooper's on his way out the door.
We're going to segue into a couple little bit.
You know, I said a couple little bit we
got we got so much fam up in here too dude uh it's crazy i want to i want to talk about solana deads
but i also want to talk about those ferocious fucking yetis with that yo i can't tell you how
many people i had i saw reposting that slot game being like, come check it out.
Come play.
I was, I'm fucking, I'm like, I'm mad.
I want it.
Where is it?
Give it back to me.
I want it.
You guys duped me.
And I was even told, I was even told, you know, and I still got duped.
No, it's amazing. It's a good pull. And, you know, once you're got duped. No, it's amazing.
It's a good pull.
And, you know, once you're there, dude, you're not going to leave.
It's such a fucking great community.
Like, I don't know what's so hard about it.
I think it might come back to that thing, like, the Discord fucking feel, like, that people have about shit sometimes.
And it's crazy, dude, because as soon as that coin flip gets activated and everybody's up in there jamming and flipping, dude.
Yo, Crypto Stoner.
I know if you have a few minutes anyway.
Sorry, I don't want to put you on.
If not, I can totally talk about Yetis too.
But if you got some time to talk, I'd love to hear from you about both of them.
You know I got to talk about both of them.
We'll do one.
We'll take a break, open the do some uh do some more other stuff and then we'll do salon of deads after that because
i'm gonna shout out the well i'll have the salon of deads account in here um but yeah bro oh also
mad queen i saw you hop up and your mic's on me off mute do you do you want to hop in? Say good morning?
I didn't know it was off mute. I wasn't unmuted
I don't think. I think
X is telling you lies again.
Okay, okay. I just wanted to make sure.
I wanted to let you say something if you wanted to.
I do have some good news for Big Man
though.
It might not just be
an image anymore.
I don't know if you guys can hear me stimming over here,
but I'm stimming.
I thought you were running to your computer.
Yeah, no, no, no.
Yeah, I know, right?
No, it was me running around in a circle
above the office for the, what the hell is it?
A convenience store downstairs.
But yeah, no, dude, it's crazy.
That's amazing.
So obviously, I'm a little bit of a DJ, you know what I'm no, dude, it's crazy. That's amazing. So obviously,
I'm a little bit of a DJ and you know what I'm saying? Like a little bit. But with something
like that, you got to be smart. And if you're doing it to a cool community, somebody who supports
the community of communities, the GPC, like why would you not want to? Like if you're already
doing it, you know what I'm saying? I have a kid for people to go out and gamble and stuff but it's it's almost a marketing move in
a sense too right it's kind of like everything that abstracts got going on where you can go like
play that stupid crash game but now instead of getting a token eth back you're getting you're
buying into a chart over here and it's making chart volume but no no no fuck all that you're
gonna get your chance at some ice token instead or you're gonna get your chance at a yeti which comes with some fucking
ice token which dude there's just so many possibilities sorry i had to stim out for a
second did you did you cut cotton on to what i was saying there big man so it's no longer just
a marketing image it is actually coming to life yes i know that's what
i know i was i'm over here spazzing out about it because i'm like sorry maybe that's why it sounds
all i got a mad hat on right now and i'm just like scrambling around talking all like furious
like god it's amazing though you, we're getting close, too.
We only got 67 people left until we hit that 500 mark on the Discord.
So I just checked.
We're very close.
And, you know, I'm very excited.
So there's a slot game coming for y'all.
There's CoinFlip being activated at the 500.
We're continuing to gain followers on the Yeti main account so that we can get closer to that mint date and the token drop.
Everything is looking very bullish. We're seeing a lot of market sentiment changing today.
I don't know how many of you guys looked at the market today, but it's still pretty wild.
You know, so it's just a really good time. I pinned, oh, you pinned up at the top today but it's still pretty wild um you know so it's just
a really good time i pinned uh oh you pinned up at the top i think we both pinned one yeah i was
like i pinned the story there of yeti and then mad queen has the slot machine game that's coming
for the spin to win and i love spin to win i don't know if anyone's league of legends players
in here but i used to play a character when i was having a bad day. His name's Garen, and he just spins around with a big sword in circles and kind of just
dumps on everything, and so spin to win is one of my favorite things to do, and I can't wait to start
playing that. It's just gonna be fun. I love that everything in what Yeti does is, you know,
having fun, but still getting to get some of that DGEN fun out of your system.
You know what I mean?
Like, that's one of my favorite parts is, you know, the Yeti games that we're just seeing at the start, the little fun stuff.
It gives you a little risk, but you get reward, you know, and that's what's fun about it.
It's not like you're going on a pump fund trying to you know risk and gamble your money
there um you know you you're going to be playing with tokens and the nft system is going to help
facilitate growth and every everything that moves around is helping facilitate growth through the
ecosystem once we go live uh and you know just the more and more gamification that's going to come from this after we launch and mint and get all this fully going.
It's going to be so fun, and I think it's going to be that place
where you can get your little degen out,
but also do something that's more useful
and something that can still build
even while you're playing those little risk-to-win games.
And that's one of my favorite parts
because it allows you to kind of degen safely
and have fun while you're doing it
and also support an ecosystem that's growing for everybody.
Go ahead.
Yeah, so I just onto that,
like doing it within a safe environment, right?
And I assume, you know, Berlin and the Queen
being the people they are and everything,
there'll be like a rough RTP on it as well.
And if you're not familiar with RTP is, it's a slot game so there's always some type of
rtp but that's your return per play you know what i mean or that's like the average return if you
play out a whole set and that like means something when it comes to that versus buying in on somebody
else's dev like you know what you're doing there versus trying to figure it out and think you got some odds like on the statistics and stuff and being like no
and not to mention just going to a cool ass community so i like i said i don't endorse
gambling but if you're already gambling and you already do those things it's cool and the only
reason i don't endorse gambling is because i've seen what it can do to people who don't who let it control themselves right so like i always um deter people away from
that specifically but if you're there it's fucking it's cool to just do it in a safe environment with
people that you know are doing good things you know what i'm saying and that's what i like the most i just you know oh sorry go ahead um i was gonna say to the you know with the way that yeti is being built
too right is it almost is gonna help train people how to risk manage better uh in my opinion and
here's why the way that the token sis the tokenomics are set up, the way the
NFTs and the staking will be, you know, realistically, you should be able to never have,
once you, let's say, put your initial, what you want to invest into, but minting, maybe picking
up token supply, you put that to work first, in my opinion. And I think that's probably a grand
mindset of Mad Queen and Berlin because they care about people and who are playing in their game.
You know, that's why this is set up this way. This is that's why I was so bullish from the
beginning of meeting Mad Queen, talking to Berlin, talking about Yetis, learning the project is,
it allows you to have fun, but it's going to teach you to also kind of, you know, if you're having a bad day in the in the game sense and you're losing some tokens, you know, maybe you there's just a lot of information is going to be, in my opinion, given out of, you know, hey, if you get X amount of rewards per day, don't let yourself go under. Don't go sell your NFT that's staked because you didn't
have enough money to buy ice or, you know, and then you wanted to keep playing. You know,
it's going to help to just allow people to have a residual income that can go to almost
degening and having fun. And when you circulate any of this or sell it, the tax and the way that
everything's set up, with the nft side
you're just making more money for the actual ecosystem and you're supporting the ecosystem
so even if you want out and back in it helps to re to keep building what's going into the
gamification what the rewards are going back to the holders so all of that stuff is going to just
be so important uh in the space that we're in because there are a lot of DGENs.
And so in my opinion, this will be a place where it helps people that even if you have, let's say, an addictive personality gambling problem,
maybe here is where you can learn to safely play and grow and actually make some money and not get rid of it. And the staking will
help so that you can't just, you know, just so you can't run out unless you sell that. And there's
just a lot of ways, in my opinion, where we can help to just onboard people, one into Web3,
people that have that gambling tendency, let's say, maybe it's not even an addictive personality,
but they just get caught
on the rushes of things, but they could stop. All of that stuff, Yeti is going to help with a lot of
that. And it's also going to be fun. And we love the art and we love what it's going to do
community wise. But on top of that, I do think it's a safe place for people to learn and play
with money a little bit more while also still earning and
having that ROI coming in as you gain. And the more NFTs that you get and collect over time,
the more you can play with and the more you can grow your portfolio, things like that. So there's
so much to it. Go ahead, Mad Queen, I see your hand up. Thanks, Diana. So initially, the RTP will be something around the 85% mark.
So we want people to be winning when they play in any of our games,
in any of our markets, any investments they can ask.
We want people to win.
But the first version we're going to launch will be a,
you'll be able to write tokens
at very, very low value and then create a leaderboard system so whoever has the most
tokens, the end will be sold by this and all that kind of stuff.
So the first version will be known, the token people won't have a monetary value but they'll
feed into monetary price, if that makes sense.
And as we go through projects, we go into the NFTs and the ice tokens launch,
then we can look at making it into an actual game you play with ISO.
We need to be careful around gathering laws and we can legally do not do.
So we'll tread the fine line.
We'll make sure that we do everything.
See, and that's what makes me so excited is that, you know,
you guys take that time to look into these things.
And like, you know, I live in Vegas and Wifey did slot machine art for a long time for the digital machines.
So, you know, that was one of the things that I liked about a couple if he did slot machine art for a long time for the digital machines.
So, you know, that was one of the things that I liked about a couple of the companies she worked for, not the rest.
And that's why she got out of the industry in general is, you know, some of the companies do give a little bit better win rate and payouts and like making sure that people, you know, are going to want to stay.
Part of the RTP of slots and gaming is you need people to want to stay.
So you can't just take their money.
So it's so important.
And that's what makes me so excited hearing Mad Queen talk about that.
They put that thought into it.
We want to make sure people are winning, you know, almost more than not,
but also still facilitating the ecosystem that needs to be maintained.
And that's a fine line.
You said it,
that's a fine line to be had, because too much means that the house loses to the point where it
can't maintain. Too little means that the house is ripping people off. So, you know, the fact that
they take that precaution and make sure that we are clear on what the percentages are and how much you're going to win or how often you can win so that people understand, OK, cool, this is a system that's fair.
the future too far or anything with it but when the mad queen was mentioning um you know putting
in something of a monetary value and and technically getting something out that's not i would presume
that's in the form of like a mint voucher or something along those lines you know what i mean
so until the ice allocations are out and until all that's there maybe it'll be those types of redemption things you know so it's still
in my mind right in the in in the player's mind it could still be considered of something with
monetary value to some degree but you know it doesn't have it yet and that's the thing so it
and this is just my speculation towards it from an outsider as well. I don't actually know what's going on.
The queen just told us all right now what was happening.
So I have no idea what's actually happening.
I'm going to let her back up too.
I just wanted to finish that statement before I let her back up.
But yeah, so I, and an 85%tp is pretty solid too especially to start like i i really like
that that's cool and you know i also i know where it's going that's the biggest thing to me like you
know i don't know i'm done with the little here's here's the other thing, bro. Imagine, because Yeti is going to have multiple games, you know, maybe the voucher is an entry into a tournament, you know, and things can be adjusted on that. So if there's special events or giveaways, things going quick accessibility is we can set up little events and things and different options.
Or you could get a play in a different game.
Or if we do a poker night, you get a free entry into a poker thing.
You know, maybe that you don't have to put up your ice supply.
in this game five sense and that kind of fun degen safer world is that the vouchers a lot of
the stuff that can be given away or won on a spin can be you know changed to what's current what
we're doing and that gives people that constant like new okay this is fun we got something coming
up and it just gets everyone excited it keeps people wanting to play
and it also keeps the winnings right because if you win an entry into a poker thing and then the
poker thing is let's say down the road here ten thousand dollar winning pot and you got in there
and you're good at poker well you might take a top three seat take a large portion of that tournament
and that's way bigger win than just what you would have won on the spin that you're trying to win on. So there's going to be a lot of other options and
growth opportunity in that game sense to even if it's not always winning ice or an NFT in a spin,
you get entries into things and you get added to stuff and it'll be so many different ways to collect and earn.
Yes. Another reason that we decided to go with like a leaderboard, you know, like a slots tournament almost to begin with, is it allows us to iron out all the errors before people start actually playing with tokens of value.
But then still to have a, you know, there'll be a small buy in and there'll be a prize pool that'll be reflective of how many people take part.
But, yeah, we want we want before we launch anything major and start putting people's ice tokens on on at risk or, you know, that people start getting silly.
We want to make sure that it all works nicely for everyone.
No, exactly. And that's that's part of the thing, thing right is that you guys are absolutely vetting
the shit out of the whole process like so i'm wicked excited about that you came in here and
told me that it was real and like i was underselling it at first kind of well as i'm
talking about it because i'm over here stimming out i'm grabbing onto my shirt i'm ruffling it
around i'm like walking pacing i, yes, you don't understand.
The little DJ inside of me is like jumping up and down. That little Yeti DJ. It's like,
I got my little monocle and my roulette wheel on my back. I'm like, let's go. I'm going to put it
down and like spin the little ball up. Let's get it. You know, and I can't emphasize enough on
this part too. And and like it's the same
thing as if d bros was to start something like that right i know where the money's going to like
to me like it's i love you guys i love everything you're doing so to know that it's going back
towards you and the projects we're funding whatever guys are doing, I'm more than happy to,
even if I lose, it's a win. You know what I mean? It's a quote donation, you know? So to me, it's,
it's still cool to do. And I do the same thing. Like, that's why I mentioned D bros in there too,
because if they were to do something similar to that, I would be all over it. I'd be supporting
that as well because it's just, you know, I throw five or 10 bucks at shit because it's just you know i throw five or ten bucks at shit because
it's a chance for me to it's like a scratch ticket i go to the store and i buy scratch tickets and i
don't like supporting my fucking local lottery so if i can go support you know the mad queen or
decentral bros or rickstar with the mutant shibas or whoever instead of going to buy a lottery ticket
i would rather go do that and it feels different than just putting money into a chart and saving money or staking it you get a different feeling out of it too right
so you kind of you're filling the seat and and that's what i like about it and i absolutely i
adore that um that you guys are actually making that a thing like uh yeah no that's fucking amazing and again real quick if you guys are not
in the yeti discord go hop in there you hear what we're talking about right now i know some of you
are getting excited and if some of you guys have not because i'm seeing emojis so you can't tell
me ain't uh for those of you that are spamming emojis make sure you're in that discord i mean
everyone go hop in the discord 67 away we We're getting close. I just threw a boost on there this morning. Cause I noticed I
had an extra one. Uh, and so, you know, we're going to get this discord filled up and the more
that this grows. And also remember this too, fam, a lot of the group stuff is under speculation and
X right now. So if the groups start to go away
or it's bad to be in these groups,
for those of you guys that are on the timeline
growing your accounts,
it's a good place to be in Discord again.
And I know that that was kind of a flip a bit ago.
We were kind of all moving into groups and spaces,
which is great.
But because of what's happening with the groups
and the speculation on it, it is a good time to kind of start hopping back into Discord stuff and getting into the Discord projects because we can at least do our group community building stronger there without it having to affect our algorithms if it is and it seems to be. So, and we know the X chat's coming. So I just wanted to add that part in too,
because, you know, we're not doing community chats
in X anymore.
We're moving stuff to Discord,
even the Green Pill Collective, all of that.
So go show love to the Yetis,
click up at the top there, hop in.
We've only got 67 more, like I said.
And, you know, as soon as that's done,
we get the first entry of what Yeti is building.
And that's just the teaser.
And, you know, that slot game's coming now.
We know that it's not just an image anymore.
So, you know, give that some time here.
And we're going to have one of the, in my opinion, most fun game fi places to be in the Web3 industry while also doing it safely and having
fun on that little bit of that degen side while also teaching people to earn and learn or earn
and gain. So, you know, it's a good time to hop in. It's early. The coin flip is going to offer
a lot of fun rewards, ice tokens. You can get an NFT through there on midday, things like that.
So you want to be in there, get locked in.
We appreciate all the support and love that we are getting already.
And we have been seeing some growth and traction.
So they know that it's coming.
We're seeing market sentiment start to get better when retail comes back.
And this goes for all the Green Pill Collective projects that I talk with.
We are all
going to moon. Like this is going to be an insane bull run and it's going to change all of our lives.
And so we're early and make sure you guys are getting in to the things that are early so that
you don't miss out before this run comes. Go ahead, Mad Queen. Thanks. Yeah, so one other point,
we are going to be hosting quite soon a cross-community rumble.
It's going to be a huge rumble event.
So those spots I do anticipate will go quite quickly at some point.
The quicker you join, the more likely you are to secure your spot.
And we are going to be locking it at 500.
No exceptions, no 501s. 500 is the number for ogs and you will
forever be the foundation of this project so we will look after those people who got us off the
ground and got us started and it's going to be fun so excited mad queen thank you for always
coming up and helping and adding these little extra
uh informational bits because it just helps and it helps it helps to really just uh dial in what
we're both what we're building and pushing i was gonna say pushing and i want to say building first
so that's why i put up so uh it's what we're building uh and pushing later you know it's it it's just such an amazing uh
family to be a part of with the yetis i mean it's it's the same as what moon ape labs is now
you know you guys you guys took that over and you saved it you you guys i know that it's been a slow
and long road but you guys have just babied and nurtured that and it shows. And so the Yeti, you know, in the way that you guys plan the growth,
even though it's a little bit of a slower start to get things launched,
it's so much more important because the community that's building,
the OGs that are going to be there, the 500, the followers to get this mint going,
it's going to be a historical thing.
We're going to look back in this year, five years from now, and it's going to be absolutely
insane.
There could be an entire Yeti casino going on in Sox City, where people are playing in
tournaments and the battles.
So it's just going to be so fun.
And yeah, I just want to echo that we're thankful for everyone and we're excited for, you know, getting close to these goals of getting met.
Yes, dude.
No, I am.
I'm excited for Yetis.
And you mentioned the casino in Sox City.
Dude, that would be fucking fire.
I'm telling you, dude, all the different, like, possible, like,
playable characters and, like, atmospheres and stuff.
I mentioned the other day, like, how we were talking about regions and stuff,
and I dropped, like, a little hit.
And none of it's, like, set in stone yet, right?
But I was like, you know, get the polar ice caps over there, maybe a graveyard for the Salon of Deads, too. It could be expansive. And I kind of like when the oyster was in here talking about, you know, starting it off as like the small city or like the small area, whatever the starting area is going to be.
Right.
And then expanding and opening up new regions.
And like it's I don't know, you see games that actually come out with DLCs.
Right.
Well, now the DLC itself is kind of free in a sense, right? But
if you're a part of that community, you'll have more perks within that. So like when the Polarize
Caps come, if you're in the Yetis community and stuff, you could have more perks. They could
design their tokenomic system for their area and it would just integrate into what we and socks have going on like that
would that's a lot of talking and like you know a lot of um working out certain things but we're
all here for that right that's why we're all here so that's why i mentioned these things in the
spaces now just to get the idea out there right and that that's kind of what big man's good i've
ripped a band-aid off and just jump in there. And I'm like, big idea. Now everybody else with the team and everyone, now we can scale it into feasible chunks and ways that, okay, this is how we get, this is the first step.
Like, y'all need to do your thing.
I need to do my thing and, you know, whatever.
And then once we get to that milestone, we can reach another spot or, like, we can turn around and help each other in certain
areas or whatever it has to be. That's what I love. We're all willing to work and do that.
We just need to talk about it. And I think the discord is going to be fantastic for that
because we're going to be able to really narrow it down. The X space gets a lot of cluttered,
even when we do have the group chat in there. I't tell you how many dms i have over there and like just to find it sometimes is kind of hard so and i say it's kind of hard but
it takes me like 15 seconds but as opposed to just going right to the um the discord going right to
the the filed spot where it's gonna be and this is the gpc founders chat this is where we all are
already chatting about this and yeah sure i might have to scroll up to those things but i'm sure we can pin a certain thing or like there's so much we can do
with it the growth of it all is going to be great and um we yeah dude i'm i'm fucking i'm loving it
and to know that that flop machine is coming out dude you don't even know i'm i'm over here getting
static all caught up on my pants and shit.
I need to go pop some balloons or something.
I don't know.
Mad Queen broke Big Man for the day.
He's just going to be pulling an invisible lever like he's playing a slob machine
until he can actually click spin.
Pull the lever lever crunk
i'm gonna go play some marvel marvel rivals later and i'm gonna work on my website that's
what i'm gonna do uh a little little both you know what i'm saying yeah that that's part of
what the d bros class is dude you know what i mean we're working on front end stuff too dude so like
even that one skill alone being able to design a website now
and pull it up locally host it so i can do my work on it and everything and then
link it to an actual domain like that shit's fire like and not to mention the solidity work we're
doing and you know the whole mint page home page separation the the hero functions reading the shit we need for contracts and
sending it over to the mints dude it's just it's wild it's a good time i love what we
got cooking and i can't wait to just help bring other things to life and now also as um
like a think tank mind i have like a little bit more of an understanding of the work that goes
behind it too. So like, you know, big man be up here talking about all kinds of crazy ideas
sometimes and I'm spitting them around like they're easy to do. And like, yeah, sure. The
pieces are there and the foundations there and stuff. And maybe if you have the knowledge,
it, it looks easy, but it, it's difficult. It's work, right? Regardless, it's work. It's proof of work
when you actually do it. And you can see it when you actually look at your page or when you do
certain things. So I'm definitely learning quite a bit, man. Like I said, I'm a little foggy brain
today too. Not just from that, but like everything. That song from D Coop today though, that got me
shit. That got me vibing and now to
hear the yet he's got a slot machine shit bro i think i might rise up out of this chair you know
what i'm saying like rise up like i'm like i'm coming out the graveyard like i'm rising from
the dead or something you know dude i'm like what y'all got me woken up yeah don't melt all your ice
you know what i'm saying fyi it's actually coming but don't melt all your ice. You know what I'm saying?
FYI, it's actually coming, but don't let all your ice melt.
You see that?
I'd be trying to do ice emojis instead of fire emojis when I drop that stuff.
And now this time I did it the other way because, you know, it's a little gambling casino style, you know.
Don't let it all melt away.
All right, crypto.
I'm sorry.
A little monologue's over.
I can go back to you.
No, no, you don't have to go back to me.
I think that was a tedious thing.
I'm sorry.
No, no, no. I think that's pretty much the shill for the day on the plug for ICE.
I just wanted to really remind you guys, you know,
if you're not in that Discord, that we're just really close to it.
So let's hop in there and get verified.
Claim your OG role.
And, you know, let's get to that 500.
We're so close.
And then everything else, all the alpha stuff,
and especially Mad Queen coming
up here and sharing about the slot machine, not just being an image and being something that's
coming. So, you know, that's pretty much it for the day. We'll do some Solana Deads, but we can
do some, if you want to do a little bit of like a music break, or you want to chat about something
else, or we want to do anything else i'll uh get salon of deads in
here and then i'm also going to get the white list uh from from now i'm going to see if the
dead army wants to roll in today oh yeah dude definitely let's see what's good dude send them
send them a little invite see what's good get some people popping through get the intern up here i
want to hear from the intern i need him to
leak a little something something you know i'm saying he he got looser lips than pup does dude
my god that's crazy bro that white list chat is crazy he leaks everything we he steals shit from
our wallets i guess it's a good thing i guess it's a good thing it's shutting down and oh man
going over to the discord instead maybe you guys can put a little cap on I'll give them a little less control or
something I don't know you know really was like bro has been telling people he
got he's got his wallet cold wallets getting his NFTs taken by the intern and
the interns just giving them away to everybody you know I'm saying he took
some rockers he took a sock He's been giving everyone stuff out.
Yo, that's crazy.
No, it's fun.
The intern's a good, you know, I keep saying the intern keeps stealing stuff from us, you know,
but at the end of the day, it keeps ending up in better hands, in our opinion.
So we okay with the intern doing the good.
He's doing some Robin Hood.
We're okay with him taking a little bit, you know, it's getting people some love back in their hands so it's all in good fun uh but yeah
yeah it's just fun to be a part of the project and then um yeah i'll we'll summon the dead army
and um and then we'll talk about it and chill with them for a little bit yo let's go yeah that's cool
dude but yeah we can uh we can break it up we can chit chat about
some other shit if you all want i don't know how everybody else's day is going or what the
markets are really looking like i know we talked about it a little bit but uh big man's been like
not looking at charts really i don't have much monies to buy in right now and right now is not
a good time to be buying and necessarily anyway. So, you know,
I'm kind of just,
I'm watching,
chilling,
sitting on hands,
vibing with my peeps.
You know what I'm saying?
Yeah.
151 salamis right now.
154.
Sorry.
I posted a picture of bonk.
Bonk is going crazy.
you know,
you know,
what might be a good opportunity right
now when when the markets are volatile if you all don't notice and it's tough because there's a lot
of bots right now that do it but um arbitration arbitration is a really cool thing you can like
buy low on one exchange and sell high on another exchange. And, you know, that's just a discrepancy
in price. So you can even set things up to do it more instantaneously. It's pretty cool. And you
can even do flash loans to be able to take out a larger loan of money. And that's why it's like,
it's really, it's difficult, right? You have to have bots that do it nowadays. When it first
started coming out, like you could actually just go bots that do it nowadays. When it first started coming out,
like you could actually just go in
and do it kind of manually
and check out what was going on.
Not a lot of people knew about it.
But now there's bots that do it
that kind of automatically do it
by those exchanges and stuff too to watch
so that there, you know,
there isn't that arbitrage opportunity.
But there are some opportunities in the meme coin space for arbitrage.
I'm not a huge meme coin advocate and stuff.
Make sure you're a wholesome project holder, though.
That's the most important thing.
If you're looking at those fucking projects,
make sure you're not fun in a chart.
You're DCAing in and you're DCAing out.
You can change that and rebalance it right but ultimately at the end of the bag end up in that token mostly right tp
save the bag token and that's it man hold it and the opportunities are cool but if you believe in
something have conviction and help it grow right and then you'll grow alongside of it and then it will grow alongside of you it'll just be
you know it'll be that much better for everybody and i know it's crazy that i went down that rabbit
hole for a second because i was talking about market opportunities and stuff and arbitrage but
yeah dude it just be careful who you're fudding.
Yeah. Also, you know, understanding charting, uh, and chart health. So understanding that,
you know, dumping a large sum of earnings out is, especially on smaller projects is hurtful
to a project's chart. Whereas dollar cost averaging
your profits out actually allows other people and their options opportunities to dollar cost
average themselves as they're watching you dollar cost average out, especially people that are
watching the charts. And it allows everyone to kind of get a better price while also allowing
you to get a good price back in.
As you dollar cost average out and other people dollar cost average in, in turn, after you're done dollar cost averaging out, other people are also going to be doing that.
That cycle continues. And, you know, it kind of you can re-facilitate your own bag without taking large chunks.
And so there's just especially in my opinion, in small market cap, this is important.
You know, if you're trading Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, XRP,
you know, if you want to sell a whole bag and then buy back in after you get a lower,
you know, that's just more time in your market.
That has, you know, especially Bitcoin trillions, dollar trillions goes into this. The, you know, the only time you have to worry about etiquette in that point,
in my opinion, is if you're a whale, if you're a big enough Bitcoin whale to where you can tank a
chart 5%, then you should be not usually you would start dollar cost averaging. And that's
where the market manipulation comes in. And I think some people may not even realize that they're manipulating somebody's chart in smaller market cap because a few hundred
dollars into something and a couple of thousand out is very large to the chart. And so, you know,
you kind of have to scale yourself up. And I dollar cost average and profit take accordingly to under a million, add a million, 5 million, 10 million. And I actually have,
I would do small percentage takeouts on anything that's under 10 million, to be honest. And that's
just for me, 10 million, you can still kind of, you know, a few thousands, not going to manipulate
a chart too much, but it's basically just understanding what percentage of me selling would manipulate a chart so that you understand how to not hurt a smaller project's
charts. Because there are, let's say, philanthropists or angel investors that are out there
that invest in the market, and they do try to protect the drops, protect the dips. That's what
the bear and bull battles become, is people trying to milk the market and people trying to protect the drops, protect the dips. That's what the bear and bull battles become, is people trying to milk the market and people trying to save the market back and forth. So,
you know, just I wanted to touch on that with what big man was saying, because it's important
to understand the difference between market caps, what percentages change that and doing things
respectfully. Because the other thing is, too, is if you don't do it respectfully and a project notices a certain wallet, you know, they're going to not want to
support that wallet or that person. They're not there, you know, there's a lot of, it just builds
a bad taste. So, you know, understanding proper etiquette, it's like space etiquette, right?
Understanding not to cut people off or raise your hand if it's a deep conversation so that you don't
cut off a deep conversation, but get your place in line. All of these different timeline etiquette,
DM etiquette, it's all the same thing. It just falls into a similar respect. So understanding
chart etiquette is something we should all do. Yeah, no, a thousand percent, and um you know like you mentioned about the dcaing in and out
as well doing that is healthy chart flow right like you said when you come out other people are
coming in like you know yeah tricky buddha i'm gonna let you come up and say this too because
you're probably gonna resonate with this but like as the charts going up that's when you should be
clipping out a little bit right as the liquidity is being filled so as the charts going up, that's when you should be clipping out a little bit.
Right.
As the liquidity is being filled.
So as the price continues to climb, like in the middle of that climb, roughly, you know what I mean?
You start DC on your way out.
And then on the downward trend, you start DC in.
It's it's it's simple math guys no all right what's going on tricky
buddha how you doing today it's tricky buddha from defy space donkeys what's up fam i have a
i like this conversation yeah figuring out healthy uh shark flow key, especially, you know, you get in pre-deployment or,
you know, something like that. Really, they got to lock up all these tokens, you know,
before the charts get big, you know, for all, that's really the way it should, you should go,
right? If you're going to get in early, I feel like you should be a supporter,
not like someone who's just going to flip the whole thing. But absolutely, you do some tasteful DCA in and out.
And that way, when that chart is going up crazy vertical, you can take a little bit of liquidity out, provide opportunity for somebody.
But then if it does dip back down into any little lull, now you have liquidity to actually execute and to dca back in
raise the chart back up but yeah it's like you don't want to when it's hitting its old near its
all-time high again you don't that's not the time to do it you want to do it when it's like going
vertical all of a sudden from a dip you know that's when you take a little a little tiny bit
out but yeah loving the conversation man had. Had to be here to support.
Good to see the whole Greenfield Collective coming through. I'm pumped about our space tomorrow. We
got Cyber Ape Yacht Club coming through and the Cheech and Chong Project. So stay tuned for that.
Yes, sir. I popped in for that Cheech and Chong Project for a couple of minutes. I actually ended
up having a phone call on the back channels that I had to take, but
I definitely want to support. I am following
was that Pablo?
I think it was
Pablo and Lauren.
Yeah, they're both
cool. Both of those
people I met in NFT NYC.
They've been
fostering relationships with them for a while.
They were our sponsors for
zao chela it was really awesome they gave me like 500 in merch and it was that was pretty cool
just being able to say i had teaching chong as one of my sponsors that's freaking amazing so
that's like a flex you know what i mean but uh that's i was like you know perfect for the green
pill collective so i appreciate everybody who could stop through and show some love.
They definitely felt the love, and it was noticeable.
And, yeah, they're going to come hang out with us after their 420 space.
So they're live from 420 to 520, and then they're going to pop in with us.
Yo, that's what's up, dude.
That's fire.
No, it was wicked cool. Yes, cool yes of course dude that's a flex in
a fucking half being able to say you got a cheech and chong sponsorship you know i mean i don't care
how how far down the pipeline or how close to the pipeline it is just being able to say cheech and
chong sponsored me is fucking amazing i love that dude i like uh i'm a i'm a big fan i we talk about
little scenes and stuff obviously the most iconic one iconic one where they're parked up against the pole.
Am I driving okay, man?
Yeah, yeah.
I think you're parked, man.
Oh, you just ate the most amount of acid I've ever seen anybody eat, man.
Anybody eating my life, man.
I hope you had no plans for about a week.
Yeah, that shit. It's too good man it's too good
all the all those lines are burned into my memory from like the first time i smoked i we watched cheech and tong up in smoke like that was the first stoner movie i ever saw for sure i like
grew up with those guys so it's legacy right there uh and cyber apioclep man they just
uploaded their their thing to steam and everything oh my god they're gonna be live in a week on
playstation xbox and pc and then they're gonna have uh the well maybe i shouldn't tell you all
now i'm gonna appear tomorrow yeah it's some cool alpha being dropped man so uh definitely tune in
tomorrow uh they were in our space for at least an hour yesterday.
It was good conversations.
That's what my PFP is.
They are minting right now for two ETH.
There are some on the floor.
They don't stay there long.
Not financial advice, but yeah, it is what it is.
Yeah, no, big facts.
I can see why they don't stay there long, man.
Dude, when we were talking about the Cheech and Chong, I was like, Mexican Americans don't like to get up early.
Does anybody else remember that one yet?
So they go to night school and take Spanish and get a B.
Green Giant.
And then the chorus hits.
Beaners.
Beaners.
I gotta watch that one. I can't wait for
the streaming parties and all that jazz.
Dude, I can't fucking wait.
This is gonna be amazing.
No, Dave's not here, man.
Alright.
I gotta get some coffee but
much love fam i'll be right back is it isn't my license right there on the back of the bumper man
it's back it's back there in the back of the car man
that's a great coffee
cheech and chong legends. I absolutely do.
I'm trying to figure out who else would be good to bring into the Green Pill Collective,
and that's definitely one of them.
I've got a couple other collabs I'm lining up to, but a little bit of alpha at a time, right?
You know, another fun stoner to have in there would be 2 Chainz.
Y'all ever seen some of the videos he's done on, like, shit or whatever that thing's called uncle trains he gets so high bro they're like
giving him that oil extract and they're like yo you just put like a toothpick drop and he's like
licking the toothpick and shit and then all of a sudden he's like so high during this video and
they do like a whole side shot where they're just talking to him and they're like hey you were like incredibly high right now and we need you to like dial back in to get the rest of this recording
done and he's like no i'm i'm fine and they're like yeah you were sedated oh when they're in the kitchen
yeah dude and he's like he's just smoking like chief after chief or two bro oh and then he he
took that oil bro okay this is crazy shit so
they said a toothpick dropper was like 100 milligrams right just to drop off the toothpick
my man took his finger and like got a bunch of it on there and then he rubbed it all over the
outside of his jay and they were like bro you've ingested like 5 000 like you've inhaled and burnt
and like had the amount of like it was something like you've inhaled and burnt and like had the amount
of like it was something like 10 000 milligrams total and he was just you could tell he's baked
his shit but he'd be great to have in the green pill collective for the for for those 420 streams
uh he would chief up it'd be fun all right well i don't know how active two chains is on social
media but i got i got a goal now.
Yeah, yeah. I'm going to try to. We'll start tagging 2 Chainz, figure out what platform he
actually uses most. We'll get his attention. And then we get him into Web3. I mean,
that's the other thing. We have something to offer. Even some of these celebrities at this
point, right? We have that opportunity to teach them what Web3 is if we get in contact with them and show them what they could do over here. And then you build that
collaboration bridge. So, you know, never know. We'll try. If you take all of our combined followers
of all the people in the club, like if everyone in the club and the Green Pill Collective and the
DeFi Space Donkeys, if they all retweeted our stuff at the same time our reach at this point is like 50
million i'm not even exaggerating it's like with our weed accounts like all the weed accounts that
are a partner of this and weed meme coin and and the uh humor the weed humor that we're getting
ready to work with like you know we know, we literally, like Tricky said,
Green Pill Collective is building millions of outreach.
Like we just have a lot of connections. We're growing that community constantly.
We've got the Discord going now
and we're getting that ready, getting a website ready,
like at least a landing page.
We're talking about content now.
We've got, you know, now T-WOP, you know,
from his doing his class, we're going to
also be talking about doing content so that we can have videos up online, YouTube, TikTok,
having people help edit that stuff and clip what we record, but so that we can also keep the market
going. And the Green Pill Collective is just going to be all over. So, you know, before you know it,
like Tricky said, it won't really matter where we reach. We'll tag, we're going to be all over so you know before you know it like tricky said it won't really matter where
we reach we'll tag we're going to tag an account on any platform and or do a video of saying yo
be cool to collab with so-and-so and that outreach is going to be insane and that's all it really
takes is you know enough noise to be made uh for these collabs and people will talk and reach out
and be like yo what's going on with the Green Pill Collective? Everyone's blowing up my DMs on everything.
It's crazy.
What is this?
You know, and then we have another collaboration, more growth.
And, you know, we vet out, we're going to vet out even the big boys, you know, somebody,
a big boy wants to be in.
We got to make sure they're legit too.
So, you know, the Green Pill Collective is really building that global network, in my opinion.
And we will have that reach to tap in with whoever we want to.
You know, I got a great example for you guys.
So I've met a couple of like pretty cool people that I was fans of when I was younger.
I'm going to just post up the pin post of Homegrown Creations.
Homegrown Creations
are one of my edible sponsors.
She's also a good friend.
She subscribes.
I've gotten her into
a lot of things recently.
And this is her current
pin tweet.
Up in the jumbo.
I'm waiting for it to pop up it's still not there
there it is
Homegrown Creations is one of my faves too
they were actually on
CryptoFam Radio
and I would love to chat with them again
and have them on another space.
I know that one had some technical issues.
I'd love to get in touch with them again
and hang out on a space.
Yeah, I'll bring her in 100%.
So yeah, that'd be awesome.
And then also, Big Man,
I don't have to hop off quite like to, I just won't be able to talk in about 30.
So what I want to do, if it's okay, is do a little Solana Deads chat real quick and just kind of share, reshare, post something at the top.
You know, we got some stuff coming.
That's okay.
Look how high Red Man is in this video.
Look at his eyes, bro quick you see yo um crypto stoner absolutely dude that's what we was doing we was in the middle
of getting ready to go to the salon of deads you know how we do we we've following it up from the
yetis you know the dead the dead are a little slow to rise sometimes. The Yetis, they're chilling. They're just chilling.
They're over there.
So I want to hear what the Solana Dez is about to do.
Also, I don't know what Tricky's talking about with these red eyes.
The red man, his eyes are so squinted, I can't tell if his eyes are open or closed in that video.
That was a big man on the last 420 stream dude my eyes are just like
bro that's why rick had those vipers on so you couldn't tell how red his eyes were
oh man dude i loved it that 420 24 hour stream was just absolutely crazy and i
it was just so cool to to see that and and be a part
of that too so oh real quick into some dead lore for y'all i don't know if you knew this but back
in the day they used to hang bells above when they'd um they'd bury people because you'd ring
the bell if you weren't actually alive you know i saying? So they'd have a bell above your gravesite. And, you know, the dead may rise, dude.
When you start hearing them bells ringing, you might actually be hearing something.
That's all.
That's all.
I just wanted to add a little to your narrative there.
Dude, that's wild.
I actually did not know that.
That's super crazy.
No, no, you're good.
I think it was if they were like witches or vampires or something specifically like that.
But like, I'm not exactly sure how it went.
But I do know that they used to put bells above the grave so that, you know, if one of the bells was ringing, the grave digger would go over there and start digging up the grave.
I think it was because modern science was really atrocious back then,
and they'd have people with low blood pressure getting buried.
I think you're right, Tricky.
I think that's what it actually was, too,
and it was just like a precautionary measure.
But I just wanted to add a little bit to the Salon of Dead narrative
for you right there.
You know, when them bells start ringing, baby,
maybe the dead will rise.
Ooh, you know what's bells start ringing baby maybe the maybe the dead will rise oh you know
it's gonna be dope so you know you guys know that uh i'm working with rogan levels and pup
on and fax on uh solana deads um so with that i would love as we get into the spaces you know we
do like maybe you know i'm i want to do the spaces difference it's solana
deads right it's obviously undead dead theme um so i think the spaces maybe start with some creepy
music in the starts just not nothing scary but you know just kind of creepy eerie and then having
bells ringing and that's how we like start the solana dead spaces something like that would even
be fun because like you said, the bells,
you know, that's significant in a lot of culture around there, the dead. So it would be pretty cool to ring that in at the end of, you know, music being played. So that's a good idea, bro. And it
would give more, you know, story lore to even the spaces starting, like, you feel like it's almost
misty in your room or office that you're in
when you join the Solana Dez.
You're like, damn, when did it look like Undertaker is joining the ring here?
And then all of a sudden, boom, Solana Dez, space, time to party.
No, it's going to be fun.
As you guys know, the 28th is going to be the full reveal.
I also did pin at the top.
We had a post to go up that was talking about, you know,
you could guess the traits, might get a reward.
Somebody in there in that comment section,
I'm going to make you guys work for it,
but someone in that comment section can see through blur, I feel like.
It's crazy.
Go ahead, Mad Queen. So just before you close out, work for but someone in that comment section can see through blur i feel like it's crazy go ahead
mad queen so just before you close out i want to remind everybody that it's the solana strays
mint tomorrow so if you're minting tomorrow look out for notifications and only click links in
their official channels a hundred percent and also going to be doing a co-hosting for that too. Solana Strays reached out,
asked if I'd be down to co-host and hang. So I'm going to be there for the pre-ment and for,
or yeah, the whitelist launch, which is going to be, I believe at two, right? And I could be wrong
on times, but yeah. So big man said 100. So I'm going to be there for the first one and for the second one,
which is two hours after they stopped the first one, the whitelist.
So it'll be two o'clock for the whitelist and PST,
and then 6 p.m. EST for the public launch.
So I'm going to be helping with that launch too, be there.
I can't wait to support Solana Strays in that.
And yes, with all projects, make sure
you guys are always going to the projects page to click on any links or any kind of CAs, things
like that. You want to copy it from the source because other people can manipulate and change
that stuff so that you're not going to the right place. And there's a lot of copycats.
And that's not a pun at Salonistrays. But there's a lot of copies.
So just make sure that you guys go to Solana Strays and that you're following,
just like you should be doing with Yeti,
like you should be doing with Solana Deads and Socks
and Mutant Sheepy Club up here.
So yeah.
And then with the Solana Deads, you know, we got the reveal, like I said,
coming on the 28th.
We're going to do a big space for that.
Very excited.
We've got some fun announcements and just what we're planning on doing more so.
And you guys get to see what's been being built.
Very excited for that date.
You know, we've pretty much just been teasing.
We've been giving away a lot of stuff. Well, like I said teasing. We've been giving away a lot of stuff.
Well, like I said, we haven't been giving away a lot of stuff. The intern just keeps taking stuff.
But, you know, so the Solana Dez chat is getting a lot of a lot of giveaway opportunities.
We've been able to give back to community and grow organically. It's been really nice to just see how many people are willing to be here and
support and grow with the Salon and Des with just even the limited amount of information that we've
given you guys so far. You know, that information is, you know, it's limited, but people are still
so excited. And now we're showing a lot of, you know, images that are kind of giving away a little
bit more of what's going on. Like the one at the top, you know, you can kind of see that there might be some golden traits,
if you know what I mean, stuff like that.
So it's just exciting.
I think at this point it's just wanting to show you guys the real thing.
Like we're excited.
We're almost just as excited to show you guys, you know, what we're working on. Like it almost hurts as
much to like, not it's like for gifts, gift giving for me is so hard. Cause like, as soon as whatever
I ordered for the person shows up, I'm like sprinting, opening the Amazon box or whatever
box and running to the person, trying to give it to them. I don't, I can't wait if it's a Christmas
gift and it gets here early, you get in the gifts early. I just can't wait. Uh, so it's been tough.
It's been tough to hold back on this one. It'd be like, ah, everyone's just got to wait for this,
but man, the wait's going to be worth it. The 28th is going to be such a fun day. Um, and I'll
get that reminder set up today so that we can start pinning that at the top too. I want to get
a lot of people following that. Um, so I'm going to do that actually right after I'm done talking and stuff. I'm going to set that up,
get the space set up so that I have it for you guys so you guys can see it. And we'll have that
reminder ready because that'll help us get even more people on the calendar and ready for the day.
And the dead will rise. It's going to be such a fun space. So we're really close to that.
You guys know the rest. A lot of you guys in here in the sense of that the mint is essentially the
beginning of the journey. We have a lot of ambition and a lot of plans, whether it be
merchandising, game fi, staking, earning, you know, Solana Deads is really trying to focus on a little bit of everything, a little bit of real world, tangible stuff that supports Solana Deads, along with having that ecosystem, having those staking rewards, having the GameFi be built properly and have everyone, you know, that organic growth that we're getting. So we're getting excited. We're getting close.
The reveal date, like I said, on the 28th.
Make sure you guys go guess those traits at the top pinned post.
It's just, you know, it's so amazing to see you guys supporting and loving it.
And I'm, like I said, I just can't wait for the 28th.
It's going to be a fun day. I appreciate you guys always letting me come up here and chat about Salon of Dead's and
the more that we're getting closer to everything. It's just, like I said, it's just going to pop
off. It's going to be a big, lots to talk about after we explain traits and what's coming and
what we're doing with those. That part also will be a very, you know, we're just waiting on all
that. As soon as you guys see what we've been cooking on the 28th we can talk about everything more so and what this stuff is going to mean that you're
getting and collecting so thank you guys i appreciate you i love y'all yo um quick question
um has the mint price been established yet maybe i've been sleeping nope so that is also going to
be the the 28th is going to be everything. So that's what I'm excited.
Yeah, yeah.
And I will say, though, just because I've been teasing it a lot, it is better to be in those earlier roles, the OG role, the white list.
You want to be in that stuff early because it's going to benefit you on mint day.
You know, so that's the only teaser I've been given about pricing.
Obviously, it's going to be better price for you
if you're supporting and you're in those early roles
and in that Discord too.
So make sure you guys hop into Solana Dads Discord.
Make sure you guys get in there for that
because you will be rewarded for being early in the supporting game.
So that's the only thing I'll say about that.
On the 28th, though, you get to see what it is.
And I think it's very fair for the amount of rarity,
the trade list, and what we're doing.
I love what we built for it.
And the numbers I did also tease this once.
They signify dead lore.
A lot of the numbers are synergistic to things in that realm.
So just those little fun. That's the only little alpha you get out of me.
I got the, I was going to say the interns over here looking at me like, you're about to spill more than I do.
So I got to chill.
But I'm excited.
And so we'll see you guys for the 28th for that.
And I just appreciate you guys.
There's so many people in here already supporting and sharing so i thank you guys and appreciate
you guys uh for having us oh thank you thank you thank you thank you levels too appreciate you
pulling up my guy you're you're like the reply guy legend my dude i remember like early days and i
say early days like i've been in it for seven years or something like that.
You know what I mean?
But you know what I'm saying, dude?
I appreciate you.
It's amazing to see a project come from you, bro.
And yes, dude, let's keep cooking.
These dead are going to rise soon.
And I'm just, I'm bullish.
I'm all in, dude.
I'm balls deep on this one.
You know what I'm saying?
I don't mean to sound all grotesque like a man and shit. Take it. I knew levels would appreciate that one. You know what I'm bullish. I'm all in, dude. I'm balls deep on this one. You know what I'm saying? I don't mean to sound all grotesque like a man and shit.
I knew levels would appreciate that one. You know what I'm saying?
Oh, man, dude. It's been a phenomenal space, too.
If you clip back to the very beginning and a little bit after that,
y'all are going to see my man D Coop in the DMV.
He is the man.
And I ain't closing out quite right yet, but I just wanted to let everybody know if you're coming in now.
Check him out.
He's got a lot of cool music.
He played some tunes today that just hit me in my feels, dude.
And I was happy about it.
Rap.
You know what I'm saying?
It was just some good stuff.
Yo, Rick.
I see you with your hand over there.
I was losing my train of thought anyway what's going on my guy just a bit of admin stuff bro
for uh green pill collective uh mr tricky buddha i know you haven't been feeling well bro but
when you can please jump in the discord we need you to um just go into the your we need your
project info please uh in the in the project info section
and also to give you a role and then also uh decentral bros uh we're also waiting for you
so that we can open up a section for you to to put a your or your project information in
uh yeah and anyone else who wants to join please join uh let us put you in into the
project information share all spaces links guys do not forget to do that that's the most important
thing you can do before starting a space is share it in the green pill collective spaces links
and what we will start doing is tagging at everyone as the space starts so everyone knows
that your space is about to
start so make sure that you're keeping up to date with all the admin with uh green pill collective
i know it's an extra 10-15 minutes a day but it's really going to make the difference between us
being organized and disorganized and an actual collective and just a pie in the sky dream you know so let's put this shit down
mad queens killing it uh with organizing this discord so let's just um make it you know make
it pop the way uh that she's set it up now all she needs is all the project info uh and we set
and then of course just share your spaces please guys that's it yes no a thousand percent yeah i actually mentioned that too i know i gotta get my stuff in there
for socks and stuff and i big flowers to mad queen like i say big flowers like they're huge
they're gonna fall on top of her but no um she's doing a killer thing over there with it you know she really is and i appreciate that and i'm not huge with discord but i can definitely get some fucking
info in there and take the steps that i need to to keep you guys in the loop with what we're doing
too right and and that's important to me yo what up what up justin that is justin right or is that
the cmfo or i don't know how to say that word it's it's me it's justin yeah i was
responding to rick real quick um where where do i need to give info so i'll send you just i thought
you're in the discord i'll send it in the group chat again just join the because everyone's left
the group chat bro there's like five people left in our green pill collective group chat i was kind of curious about that i've said one good morning in there and then all of a sudden i look up
and i'm like 12 people you know i was like i was like what happened to everybody okay yeah um let
me just see let me scroll up and see if i can find it here because i didn't see that yeah i thought
we were supposed to leave i saw like 10 people dump out and I just said, I thought we are.
We are supposed to leave,
bro.
I'm leaving the trash.
It's on fire.
I'm leaving every single group chat I can,
because obviously the algorithm doesn't like it.
If they've said they're getting rid of it.
So bro,
I'm no more for me.
I'm great.
Getting out of every single one.
If people want to talk to me,
discord,
you know,
that's,
that's the best way.
And just always verify that it's Rickstar.
That's my username.
No funny letters, nothing.
Just Rickstar, the way you see it.
That's my username on Discord.
Yeah, I joined it, Rick.
So where do you want me to...
So, yeah, I'll take care of that now.
I'll give you the role and everything,
and then MadQueen will set up a...
I don't know how she's done it, but she'll set up uh i'll let her take over because she knows it better than i do
okay maybe she she she might be busy but it basically she's going to set up a thread for you
and then you just basically you'll put in all your projects info there, how people can get hold of use,
how people can go, you know, just how can they go and buy the Dbro token.
And then anytime you do a space or anything like that, let me know and I'll add everyone.
Actually, I'll give the, maybe I'll give the founders that option to do that, just to add
everyone.
And as your space starts put it in
there and add everyone so everyone knows the space is starting that's it we we need to get a little
bit more uh just just more fluid you know what i mean we're doing great so far i've been mad queen
if you want it i saw you reacting if you want to take over what do you need from the projects please so um i if i don't know already i need
to know what chain you're on i need a good quality of your pfp and that's it really and
we'll create a slot for you you can go and load in your own information so that it's all accurate
and then once you're done we can lock the thread so that it doesn't get tampered with. Okay. I'm DMing you right now for those two things, the chain,
and then I'll send you, you said just an image or a PFP, right?
Yeah, just a project PFP.
Also wanted to say any community members that want to join us,
you're welcome.
You considered OGs in the project, so you will get an OG role.
Just DM one of your
founders or myself, and they will get you a Discord invite. But it is by invite and word
of mouth only. We're not posting this anywhere. It's exclusive, guys. For now, it's exclusive.
So if you guys want to get in, just speak to your project founders. They'll definitely give you an
invite. Yeah, and I also wanted to mention too that I don't know what we're going to do yet. just speak to your project founders they'll definitely give you an invite yeah
and I also wanted to mention too that
I don't know what we're going to do yet
it'd be cool to plan it out
I know in the DMs I've been talking to
Big Man and
CryptoStone around a few things of some kind of
collaboration stuff but
yeah we're at 10 months and 30 days
today so we're a month away
from our one year birthday so um we'll need to do some kind of really cool big space or giveaway or
something um so it'd be really cool to collaborate all together with the green pill collective and
everything in there and you know um let's run it up bro i've been looking for the next event
i've been looking for it that's it bro one year birthday
of d bros let's run it up baby it's gonna be like msc birthday i want maximum numbers in there we're
gonna go hard stream everywhere yeah let's let's get it bro almost that we made it almost one year
baby one year in the public you know doxed registered ready to go ready to claim that
one year and then move to a year two and so. But yeah, super excited about it. And like, I just looked at the chart, I was like 10 months and 30 days, like, dang, we're a month away. And before I know it, if I don't start planning something, I'll get caught up and busy, two weeks will pass. So I don't even care if like, it'd probably be a good idea to get like, something planned out and a post out and pinned to our profile. So that way it's there for a few weeks.
Yes, dude, a thousand percent.
We can definitely cook this one up for sure.
D-Bro's first birthday, dude.
Y'all heard.
They're turning one, baby.
I love it. We just went, man, you know.
My little D-Bro fam growing up so fast we learned to to walk and code when we were three months
you know what day did you say that was on like it's like the benjamin button case we're going
backwards you know or we started out old we're getting younger so you better catch us before we
get too old because then we'll be too young and won't understand what a computer is you know and uh try to try to try to program an ecosystem we're losing a little bit of our english and our
vocabulary no i'm just kidding um that would be crazy though it might be an interesting concept
to live life the opposite direction i don't know it's kind of crazy you know my joke old people
and babies are basically the same right they're both speaking speaking gibberish
both wearing diapers and they both can't handle their cocaine um if you guys don't have a community
pinned to your profile um you know join one and do it if you want to join the d5 space donkeys and
pin that to your profile that would help grow the community and that's actually a good way to share
spaces and stuff instead of DMs because the algo
prefers that people will see on their timeline instead of in their DMs so
that's a workaround I have a DeFi space donkeys on all my profiles but there's a
couple of them like we've got a few in the community so join all of them pin
one to your profile so we can grow it. And, um, that way we know we can, we can just see each other more in the timeline.
Basically it just highlights us more.
I was up at like 6 AM this morning, woke up the smoke, the smoke, the smoke
alarms going off.
I'm like, what the heck?
Thinking like, is there a fire like
like you know so i like grabbed the fire extinguisher like ran downstairs we've been
trying to you know get every piece of last life out of this washing machine right and i try i last
night i spent hours taking it apart and trying to fix it put a new belt and stuff on it and
and it ran and i was like all right well let's see if you know what happens right and it was like you could smell
like something burning like the motor something was clanking luckily no fire or anything but the
smoke detector like caught that and so i woke up this morning just like with cleaning up water
tons of tons of water like the laundry room and like this thing like smoking so i unplugged
it and had to go get a you know look we had a spare washer in the garage but swapping it out
and stuff so kind of how i spent my morning while listening into your space so it's kind of a
fantastic space so it was nice to have an earbud in and just listening to it while i was just
getting frustrated with this washing machine bro when you started that
sense when you started it off you said i woke up this morning smoke and i thought you said
you're gonna say smoke to blunt i was like damn justin
yeah bro i woke up you know i don't know must have been smoking in my sleep because the room
was like i was just like cloud dime wheezy status bro just woke up and i'm like even the smoke
detector was like dang bro you're going hard in your sleep like i was i was laughing when you're
saying that because bro it's just like one of those moments that i can relate to when anything
that can go wrong will go wrong bro murphy's law and shit just starts going wrong
bro you try to solve it and shit just gets worse and worse and worse oh man uh you got to appreciate
those moments in life honestly like they don't happen often but when it does happen it's like
a comedy show bro i fucking love it uh but yeah, sorry to have that, Justin.
Nah, bro, you're all good.
But I just want to say everybody much love.

Yo, thank you, Justin.
Thank you for the class too, man.
Thank you just for everything you're doing over here.
Thanks for being in the spaces.
You're working on your shit.
I wanted to say, you're just going to call the Maytag man.

Everybody remembers the Maytag guys.
Like, yo.

I'm like, no.
She's like, I want to get that to do this i'm like no she's like

And then.
Yeah, yeah.
You can, bro.
Did you check the belt?

Like, I mean, I found all that stuff on, you know,

That's, that's that's
wild well sweet yeah everybody have an amazing day and much love and i'll see you guys later

because it's just been so busy on everyone's –
we're all building, bro.
Everyone's killing it.
But, yeah, I just wanted to hop in real quick because I had been listening.
I wanted to say hi to Justin because he won my favorite people.
Bye.
Yeah, love you, T-B.
And that space last night was pretty crazy and epic.
So, good laughs last night leading up from a long day from working on code to the class it was like class and right at like seven i think we ended up class
like 702 or something and then that space started right then and i went into that i wasn't expecting
i was expecting like i don't know 10 15 minute chill and other stuff going on but the whole
production of of the space and the cat after dark and all the people on there and the love from benny and you know the tech and everybody else in here like none of it would be
possible without you or us being there so to have the whole hour of just talking about the bros and
then you know having their space was fantastic so um and like uh i heard i heard a big man say it
this morning glazed you know i know some of that stuff is like sticking in my mind too now bro i'm
like i'm like retweet the space and then the horn you know i mean the the soundboards and stuff were
just like i don't know that guy was on the money man like just there was funny funny conversations
but how on point his timing was with some of those soundboards like when somebody random was talking
i was like dude this guy's got like everything, everything loaded. And he's just, like, nailing it.
But, anyways, later, guys.
Yo, yes.
Retweet the space.
Like, that shit was fire, too, dude.
And what was crazy is there was a whole track, too, that was, like, you know, you got Trump talking over there.
I mean, like, Andrew Tate.
Fucking all kinds of people just talking about all kinds of crypto stuff.
Bro, my man had Morgan Freeman.
Yeah, dude.
I tried to clip it.
And then, like, I didn't like where I had clipped it the first time.
So I went to clip it a second time.
And it booted me from the space.
Like, my whole app shut down and stuff.
I was like, damn, bro.
I wanted to clip a piece of that, though, because it was just that hilarious.
It was fucking awesome, bro.
Clay's have to dock, though.
Dude, I didn't realize that that's what the little pink halo in Benny from the Bank's, you know, profile picture was.
You know, he almost made me want to rock a little pink halo.
That's something so simple I could do.
Just put a little pink ring around your profile,
and it's not that big a deal.
That'd be pretty sweet.
Oh, my God.
But then I'm like, yo, I don't know how Claes is going to feel now.
I'm going to have to talk to Benny, see what's good about it.
You know what I'm saying?
Or maybe we'll get a green one going.
We'll do a green one for the GPC.
With Denzel Jackson, right? Yeah Denzel Jackson. Don't be messing with me, bro
Yo, the fucking talk to tax the tech he goes, huh?
Just like Denzel Jackson
Of all people you could have said that to with me and probably I would have just let it slide bro i wouldn't have even picked it up with the tech bro he he zoomed in on that straight away
denzel jackson huh yeah dude he was like who the oh yeah he knew exactly what i was trying to say
but he was like the disrespect we have to give to give, we have to, I have to give people context.
Otherwise, like you guys don't understand.
So big man says in the discord replies to crypto stoner saying the green pill.
Morpheus turns into Denzel Jackson and says, what green pill motherfucker?
We process to throw green pills at him until he covered it in a pile
of green pills just his hand clutching for salvation but yeah if you didn't catch it
morpheus turns into denzel jackson and it takes like the fuck is denzel jackson and he meant to
say samuel jackson of course from from the matrix. But somehow I got lost into a mix of Denzel Washington and Samuel L. Jackson.
I don't know why I found that so funny.
Funny.
Sorry, guys.
Dude, what's crazy is I do it all the time.
So I actually spoke that out loud while I was talking the text,
and I spoke it out loud.
And I was like, no, that's not right.
But I had already hit send. And then I was like, ah, whatever. And I just, like, left it. And then the text and I spoke it out loud. And I was like, no, that's not right. But I had already hit send.
And then I was like, ah, whatever.
And I just left it.
And then the tech called me out immediately, though.
And yeah, you're right.
Maybe somebody else wouldn't have minded too much.
He didn't even reply, bro.
You said that.
You replied to me like Samuel L. Jackson.
And he didn't even reply, bro.
He did put a laughing emoji though That's pretty funny
Yo, it's wild
Oh man
Yeah, no, it's definitely it's gonna it's a good time dude
And I think the organization over there is gonna be sweet
We're gonna be able to all have different project pages within the same GPC thing.
A true amalgamation of all of our projects coming together
in one place.
That's going to be fucking sweet.
Not to mention, Discord does
let you
stream and
VC, all kinds of stuff.
That's what it's going to be useful for.
I'm just trying to see what day is the best for us.
But let's set up a weekly meeting for the Green Pill Collective.
It can just be one hour that we all get together
and we talk about what happened the last week,
what's in the coming week,
anyone says any events they have, etc., etc.
Anyone can't make any space and needs a replacement
you know that's that's where to do it uh so i think just once a week if we can organize a one
hour meeting for all founders obviously there's going to be some weeks people are going to be
able to make it but then if someone else can represent them and just take notes or whatever
so that we can just uh have that good communication flow between all projects and you
know better collaboration you know oh i didn't have a collab this week dragon punks doesn't have
one boom we do one together you know sock puppets doesn't have one uh space donkeys doesn't have
one this day boom they do it together so that's kind of what i'm trying to create there's like
we have a schedule for the week of like um
different uh collabs we're going to do between each other and if someone doesn't have one they
can always link up with someone else that doesn't have one you know and just put one on so let's
just encourage that because that's what what is going to make the green pill collective grow is
just uh consistency with spaces entertainment and content and just a place to go
bro people want want to find a home in web3 and uh hopefully we can make the green pill collective
that home like i had an hour hour and a bit chat with crypto stone at the other night and
we're talking about like just daydreaming about where this can go and man this there's so much potential with this so
like for not just for for the founders for the community as well so i i just encourage everyone
just get involved like if you're waiting for the push this is the push get involved
like dme tell me what you want to do you know text a moderator in in the green pill collective
he's found a role you know we can find role. Just hit me up and let's build.
Yes, no, a thousand percent, Rick.
And I love letting you, like, not letting you,
when you speak about it,
because you summarized it all together.
Like, I get the ideology and I'm here with the heart of it
and the spirit of it all, of the GPC.
But I'm still really green to, like,
the organization aspect of the entity itself, right? Like all of us together, the communicating everything that needs to be
communicated when it needs to be communicated. That's kind of the big, that's the trickiest
thing for me, right? Is like the when, because something is time sensitive, dude, you know what
I mean? And when people are taking time out of their day to do things to make the collaborative effort easier, it's kind of disrespectful in my opinion,
when you don't respond to stuff where you don't do this. And I hold myself accountable for that.
So I feel bad, obviously, times when I don't and, you know, I'm late on something or whatever it may be no i think i i get what you're saying
bro but i think that that's what we're trying to solve here is we're trying to just make it
an easy flow for you so that you don't have to like stress about oh you know what i need to
submit like it'll just be so easy you'll know that like maybe Sunday 5 p.m. is like the deadline for spaces
and you submit your spaces for the week at that time.
And that will also encourage you to set your spaces earlier,
which will get you more people.
Because often we don't get – I'm guilty of it, bro.
I should have already set my space for Saturday, for Shiba Saturday.
We should have already set our space for Saturday for Shiba Saturday. We should have already set our space for high intelligence tomorrow.
You know, we should have done that already.
But, you know, it's something that we tend to leave.
And I think that it's just because it's not like in our set routine.
And I think that if we get to a stage where we like, right, Sunday,
I'm going to have to set my space now for next week, Saturday.
But on Sunday is a good thing because then you've got a whole week for people to set
reminders.
By the time the space comes, you know, you've got 80, 90, 100 reminders.
It's going to ping all those people and say that your space has started on X.
You want that.
So let's create that like habit of just submitting space links on Sunday all into the Discord.
And then we've got the full weeks.
And then all it takes is just visiting the Discord once on Sunday night after 5 p.m.
And you just go click, click, click, click, click, set reminder for every single one.
It's done for the week.
We don't have to think about it again.
We can worry about other shit.
You know, that's what I'm trying to do.
The other thing I'm going to set up tonight is webhooks.
So every single project that is in the Green Pill Collective will be tweeted into a channel in the Discord every time they send a post.
No matter what it is.
Like, any time they post.
Not reply, but post.
So that way, you know, if you want to go and check all any projects posts it's really easy
you can look in the discord you know it's it's really really easy for us to integrate these
webhooks and just make everything even more streamlined so you can turn notifications on
for a discord channel so anytime a space link comes up you're going to get a notification saying a new space
link is there but like i said let's just streamline this shit so we do it once a week
and then we have the meeting once a week and that's it yeah so i didn't know you could set
multiple spaces up that that's basically what i was going to say at the beginning of that is i
didn't know you could have multiple spaces scheduled. I thought you had to go one space at a time.
So that's the only reason I've never scheduled more than one space at a time.
I simply was afraid that if I scheduled multiple spaces
that it would erase the other space that I had,
like the time slot, you know what I'm saying?
I think what you need to do is do it on PC,
maybe on mobile you can't do it it but i'm pretty sure on pc
you can set like i don't know how what the limit is but i've seen people set more than one so
okay cool no but that'll definitely be something that gets done every week yeah because that's why
i pushed for the tuesday space for the project promotion is because i was setting them one at a
time because i thought I had to.
I was under the impression that I had to do it that way.
And then that would give me from Friday to that Tuesday in order to promote.
I was still able to get a whole week worth of promotion in there.
But knowing that I can just set multiple spaces, it doesn't matter when I know that I do my Tuesday and Thursday spaces every time.
I can call it thumping Thursdays, even if I don't know who's coming onto the space yet. It doesn't matter. Coffee and a joint,
same deal. That's why I kind of coined a name for each of the things that I was doing is because
I don't always know who's coming. It's a day, it's a week to week thing, a day to day thing for me.
Trey's been really cool. You've been really cool filling in with musical artists and stuff too.
So we don't always have, at least not on my shows, I don't always have a project like in a seat on Tuesday.
Sometimes it's just the chill and chill vibe family day, too.
But at the same time, I do that.
That's going to bring my game up totally right there.
Even before the discord stuff, just knowing that I could do both of those.
So thanks for dropping the knowledge, knowledge basically is what I was getting at
My bad I got a crinkle some paper real quick. I'm rolling a little jibby
okay bro i had to i didn't want to talk shit and say that and then you go and look and then you go
damn rick you can't set more than one uh so i have seen it before but i just wanted to go and test it
myself and ladies and gentlemen it is true you can set more than one space in advance
maybe there's no limit maybe you can set
five six seven so uh let's start doing that that's a very good practice you know setting spaces in
advance starting to share the link uh and i think it's just this is what i this is what i think we
mean about being accountable and like holding each other accountable it's you know it's not always
easy for me to even say this shit because i don't want to seem like i'm trying to boss people or anything like that it's not bro
i'm just trying to make everyone's life easier because once all of this shit is done we're going
to have a system and once you have a system it's just like boom boom boom you just do stuff
automatically it's there's no like having to remember and stuff you you know your system so i you know it's just going to make us run effectively as a collective and grow as a
collective so you know hold me accountable too that that's the truth so as much as i can hold
anyone else accountable hold me accountable you know oh rick where's your link for your space you
said we should share links that i haven't seen your link bro straight up that's how it should be we should all be doing this holding each other accountable
because that's how you improve you don't improve by people telling you oh you great you're amazing
all the time and not not pointing out anything that you could improve on so let's let's let's
keep you know helping each other grow bro this is this is what it is
yes no exactly dude i want you to call me out when i'm not doing shit or like
drop knowledge on me that i don't really know like you know that that's what it's about dude
you bet your ass like i ain't even i'm gonna check it out now i'm gonna go on like my laptop
instead you pointed that out to me too and i do a lot of stuff for my phone. So that's a good point. I'm going to go on my laptop,
check it out, dude. And I'm going to go set up the next month's worth of coffee and a joint
and thumping Thursdays, because I know that it's Tuesdays and Thursdays, man. And if there's
for some reason, some hiccup in the schedule afterwards, well, at least everybody knew about
it and we'll still get a GPC member in there. Somebody will not necessarily on that show, but have a show for that time slot, but it's available.
And I've been doing these pretty consistently for a while myself now. And that's why I picked
these days was because I knew that I could make time for that. And it's just amazing, dude. So
if everybody has their whole month's worth of fucking spaces already done up, you can just share them as necessary.
Share them in chronological order instead, you know, and keep the one that's for your week pinned up and then share some of the homies and then share some of your content in between.
And it'll just it'll grow from that point.
I think that's fucking fantastic.
I'm I'm glad you talk about this stuff, dude.
Like sometimes it's hard to talk about, but you need to, and it's not hard to talk about
if you're just willing to have a conversation, dude.
I'm, I'm okay with you being like, yo, bro, you, you're trying to get a fine line, but
you're using a fat tip Sharpie.
That doesn't make any sense.
You know what I'm saying?
Like just the, I know it's a totally different different analogy but it's that same type of thing we're trying to use a filtration system essentially like a greater
filtration system to have real core members in the gpc that are actually engaging actually active
real true collaboration and like i said before x is great for onboarding, but it's not the end all be all.
We need somewhere for everybody to be able to go after they've met us on X, after they
see the face, after they have that interaction and get vetted through that process there,
a place to go and interact with on a deeper level and share their content with people
to come back to the X platform again.
It's like a
segue back and forth right because we're trying to all do the stuff here on x but we're also trying
to get more real dedication and that's where the discord server comes in is that's like it's kind
of the nitty-gritty there's a lot more dedication there too but there's it can also be really fun
as we know the mad queen makes these fucking experiences really fun over there. It's not just this dark, dribbly, dismal app where everyone's just talking about project shit.
It's engaging to the point where you can host meme contests and you can do games.
We could all go meet up and go play on...
I think it's called Blocks or something stupid like that.
I don't know.
It's like a Minecraft-style game, though.
Or we could all go have a poker night and it's free entry it's not like anybody has to put any money in
it's just for funsies there's all kinds of games that are already linked in through discord that
we can use even movie nights bro movie nights yeah you can do movies too yeah bro we can watch
cheat and chong we can have like a once once every once a month we can have
like a movie night and everyone pulls up and we watch like an old school stoner movie that'll be
dope bro i didn't know you could do that through um through discord right i stream ufc every single
saturday night that dana white come at me yeah dana white come at me that's sick dude i didn't know that
yeah i well you it's a bro it's just a like watch along thing but anyone can stream on discord and
the the voice chat is actually dope you can play games in there it's like linked up so they've got
activities like poker watch along youtube so you can like watch youtube together uh all sorts of shit so
karaoke like all sorts of stuff like that so um yeah we should use it more and have like a discord
not like maybe you know once a month i'd say you know obviously we've got a lot of spaces and stuff
but once a month we just all hang out in the discord and then the other thing i wanted to speak about is solana strays is minting tomorrow imagine if we had had a uh minting soon or like a give or kind of like a
collab channel so all so um projects can offer uh spots to the green pill collective and then
people enter a raffle to get those spots so they'll offer 10 20 spots like you would to any project um but i think that
people are going to be very hyped to offer us uh spots to the green pill collective because uh
we active bro we we some of the most active people in the space who wouldn't want these
projects these people in their project it's like an asset to have almost every single person that's here listening
in their project every person every person that's listening right now i think a project would love
to have as a holder you know so that that's that's what we have to keep in mind is that we're creating
an ecosystem of positive good people that are diamond handed and that in itself is going to be
a huge asset to communities so they'll
happily give us 30 40 50 spots they don't mind because they know one we diamond hand two we show
up three it's going to put them on the map with the green pill collective so it's in their interest
really to you know it's going to get to a point where we're going to have to pick and choose who
we take collabs from i think it's already at that point i mean we're getting over 2 500 people tuning in on a friday to our show
to the high intelligence show bro tomorrow we're going to top that so we had over 6 500 people
tune into our 24 hour space that's madness bro we we we starting to smash it now and i'm seeing how many what how many 6500 bro 4700 individual accounts
on x because now you can check analytics i did post the analytics so you can see 4700 individual
accounts tuned in and then on restream it was 2000 as well so yeah bro well done and you and dude you killed it it's not me bro it's a whole
green pill collective bro i was just hosting that's what i'm saying you were there you were
awake for 24 hours that was brutal bro honestly that's i was thinking about it not not joking
that probably took one year off my life like i'll probably not i'll probably not like it's probably
one year of my life gone bro
but it was definitely worth it but i'll never forget that now that was there was magic in the
air bro that playlist that i've got every morning i wake up now that's like my wake up playlist i
play the the the spaces thing all reggae but it's just perfect for the morning so yeah man i i it
was worth it i'll do it again next year but i'm not doing another 24
hour space until then you know you you like you got to cut out after six hours and we log in with
one main account that's holding the space nah but but bro the whole thing of it is is like watching
a man almost destroy himself like 24 hours like have 40 plus bongs live on.
And almost that's, that was like part of the thing I think is like so many people
were tuning into the end because I was just right.
You can imagine I was in a state, it was amazing.
I couldn't even speak at one stage.
I was just laughing.
It was, I was trying to do the, the quiz and I just, uh, I've actually got the
clip I downloaded it. It's so funny bro i was
trying to do a multiple choice answer thing and i couldn't read the answers it was just too funny
uh but bro that that's the power of the green pill collective so i'm saying like we can pull
that amount of people and projects already reaching out to me going please you know
uh how can we get involved they're not even just that streaming services like ov this morning you know they've seen the numbers that we're doing
and they straight up said you know we'd we'd love to talk to you about further partnership and stuff
which makes me very happy bro very very happy uh abstract gave us normally they're not giving out
um streaming uh you know like they're not allowing anyone to they're being
very strict at the moment with who they give uh streaming to and uh they gave it to us bro well
to me because of us you know what i mean because we turn up in the way that we do in my ar class
on monday so i don't want to take credit for anything bro it's it's a green pill collective
it's you guys you guys are doing all this this and if you keep supporting and you keep showing up the way that you do uh you're
going to eat well off this project in the long term believe me because we've you know we've got
an idea of where this can go long term and there is definitely a financial side to this that could
be long term that wouldn't be to benefit us hold us founders at all it would
to be to benefit or every single person that has supported us along this whole journey so
like anything we make would would obviously go back any profits we make would just go straight
back to all the gpc ogs and everything like that but we're talking long term now you know for now
the main thing is show up and support first create the utility and then the value comes
after and that's what we're doing now create the utility and just keep spreading the word
we i like i said earlier there are other there are other accounts right now that are doing exactly
what we are doing they're they're trying to
other projects they're trying to replicate it and that means that we're doing something very right
right now that other people are noticing and copying i can show you guys privately if you
want in your dms other people doing this and it makes me very happy people say oh you that's
competition you should no way that's confirmation that what you're
doing is right that's what you want to see if you if no one's copying your style you're doing it
wrong right that's that's the truth especially in web 3 big man yo i don't know if you remember
rick but when we first had the conversation about the gpc before the 420 space before the mutant
chiba club like when we first like really started when
the name arose i was like yeah dude and then you could have different collaborative groups right
like now we could have like this whole branch of 35 projects or 100 projects and they're called
like the knights of the the crypto table or something like that like i don't know i came
up with some silly stupid name for that but like it's happening, dude. And that's absolutely amazing. And to be part of the GPC, that real initial spark of it all, dude, I just I love seeing that butterfly effect happen.
And as long as people stick to the same type of ideology and continue to give back to their communities, it's the right way to do it, man.
That's how it should work. It's supposed to come through for everybody. like you know like you said um a rising tide
lifts all ships man and that we're all here in the harbor we're all cooking we're all doing our thing
that tide is coming and it is coming hard dude it is going to lift us and we're going to go out to
sea but we are going to go out to sea together and we are going to go and travel this vast land that
we have to travel together and i'm just i'm ecstatic to be a part of it
i gotta get in there a little bit more i know i got a lot on my plate right now
but that's also the thing big man i want to say this very important if you ever need a space off
you can't do a thursday or whatever like this that's we need those times there are going to
be those times but we need those times because that is the gap for someone in the community to step up.
If a show is canceled, guys, and you're in the community and you want to host a space, that is the perfect time because people are used to showing up at that time.
So they are more than likely going to show up to your show.
Call it the Green Pill Collective.
I'll be there to support.
The other founders will be there to support and you'll have an immediate stage you know if your
first your first space that you're hosting so uh that goes for anyone that wants to start up their
own thing so please big man if you ever i know you got a lot going on bro with the d bros thing
and especially when it comes towards the tail end of it i'm sure it's going to get hectic for you just say bro i can't do whatever a tuesday and then that's the
gap for someone in the community the tech or whoever it might be to say right that's it i'm
hosting that space i'll do i'll do coffee and a joint for for big man this week big man takes the
day off they run coffee and a joint all of a sudden they they
are spaces host you know they can they then they can come and co-host they get the feel for it
that's the best way honestly so i just want to say that if any person hosting spaces or anyone needs
days off people in the community time for you to step up let's let's see you become a spaces host as well this
is what we want to see in in the green pill collective it's about empower empowering your
community not not trying to extract from them yes no a thousand percent and honestly if we have
multiple spaces on the same day and i'm running a space or so and so is running a space y'all let
us know i i'll cut my spaces short we've done it
on crypto stoner spaces too on wednesdays we roll into crypto fans radios or we try to line up to
mama bear spaces if it's there and we'll roll over into other spaces as well too so like there is but
i think that's really important to remember too to take a break sometimes you know let other people
step in there and have their their their show too. Right. And then
the GPC shows up and they're there. And then the following weeks they're co-hosting with you. And
then they're taking the show too, a little bit and bringing in what they have to offer to that show.
And that's what I see in it too. Like all these other groups coming in and trying to replicate
that same type of thing. Like you mentioned the people looking at this competition and stuff,
and it's not, dude.
It's potential collaboration.
That's what there is.
Like if they start doing really good as well and start having as big
attraction or just as much,
or we see something in them that like adds value for everyone,
we all go, right?
And we all support anyway.
So just being yourself,
being authentic and connecting building
these bridges that's that's what it's really about and you'll see you'll be seen it might
take time sometimes as the movement grows and it gets larger and larger but you're going to be seen
by multiple members and there's there's levels to it all you're all a member you know and that's
just by existing and being an authentic human being
and caring and pushing for your community you're already in it now now let's get organized and wrap
it all together and really really push get that needle head in there you know sew up a nice
tapestry with all these names on it and all these founders and i can just see it dude i see the big
vision in my head and i'm glad that we all connected because there's a lot of steps in between that it takes in order for that big
vision to come together but we're doing it step by step and it's just it's continuous man the GPC
the Green Pill Collective is going to be nationwide a household name it dude I have this shirt that I just bought the other day,
and I want to get patches put on it.
You know what I mean?
Like, I want to put GPC on it.
I want to get some sock puppets patches.
And I'm looking at it, I'm like, God damn, it's like an army.
But it is, but in a different sense, you know?
We're an army of people who care about each other,
and that is not anything to be trifled with.
That's for damn sure.
Yeah, it's been a phenomenal space, too.
We were talking heavy about the GPC.
I absolutely love it.
Make sure you're giving my man's decoup a follow, decouping the DMV.
We're going to wrap it up in a few minutes.
You know what I'm saying?
We can give some closing statements and stuff.
Make sure you're jumping in the Yeti's discord and everybody's discord for that matter.
Honestly, it looks like a lot of stuff is going to be moving over towards discord.
X is kind of weaning away from those group chats and all that jazz.
And we need a place to collaborate together and really share this information.
I'm not telling you to neglect your X timelines or anything like that.
But, you know, make sure you got your list.
I know CryptoFam Radio, he likes to do an email list.
He has a newsletter, tries to get people signed up for that.
You know, that's so if any of his social media platforms go down, he still has that list of people.
You know, we can still keep the group together.
We can still do these things it's going to be important to have multiple avenues and to just be present
you know presently present speaking of that i've just pinned it to the top make sure you
set your reminders now for mama bear space tonight i know that's happening around the same time as
dragon punks though so you can attend both, though.
Especially if you have an alt account, you can attend both.
Yes, sir, yes, sir. You know I'll definitely be popping into Mama Bear space.
Dragon Punks tends to be on a kind of a schedule. Mama Bear sometimes is quick. Sometimes it's a long space.
be on a kind of a schedule mama bears sometimes is quick sometimes it's a long space but i i'm
always there in spirit always i try to go in there make sure i reshare it when she's popping and
stuff i drop a couple comments under there try to engage still let people know that i'm there
um i also like to be really present when i'm at mama bear spaces too so sometimes if i'm split
focused too much i'm kind of like but i feel like that about all my spaces i want to be i want to be
present with you all when i'm there and i think that's important but no you're definitely right
dude them alt accounts i know big man's gonna have to grab another account dude i'll make a
dgen account then i can know i mean just the sock puppet account for going on the sock puppet
accounts and then your accounts on another one that's what i do bro the mutant shiba club will be in one and
i'll be in the other or top hat will be in one and yeah man just try and support i try and support as
many as i can it's hard sometimes though bro it is hard that's why i think that you know let's
let's also just try and like um manage like these con these schedule conflicts and stuff by
you know,
people don't know the schedule.
So we have to kind of put it out there so they know,
I don't want to plan a space at this time because it's going to clash with
this person's space.
And that's exactly what I'm trying to do with,
mad queen at,
green pill collective discord right now is just set that,
that schedule for the week so that we
can plan it and be like no conflicting spaces so we can all support each other without having to
sacrifice anyone's space you know so it's not it's it's not on anyone because we don't have that
schedule yet so it's hard for people to just know oh you know i don't want to set it at this time
but going forward we will have that um and you
know tonight what i want to do is i'm going to be streaming on abstract i mean i don't even know
tonight i'm going to be just teaching ai and stuff uh but then i'll game a little bit towards
the end on that roach thing and when i do i'll be playing the audio will be dragon punk space so i
think that'll be nice as streaming dragon punks audios on their
space on abstract you know for them i think is is nice a nice touch so i'll stay up and just game
after the after the the the ai thing it's not going to be too deep tonight i'm just doing higgs
field they've got turbo mode now and it's just going nuts. So I want to just show everyone what they can do with that.
And also, ChatGPT4O, which is the new one.
Bro, you can tell this thing, write me a full children's storybook,
and it gives you eight different images.
Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.
Gives you the whole story all in one.
Yeah, it's getting really crazy.
Yeah, that's absolutely insane.
And you know what?
My tech said something to me on a space of hours that kind of resonated.
And that's that, you know, not everybody's going to like you and not everybody's going to like what you have.
But the thing about the GPC is we have so many different types.
Right.
So even if so, like there are conflicting schedules sometimes with spaces, you know, some people are going to resonate with a project more than another project.
And that's OK. You know, they're still in the GPC and they're still all like that project overall.
The other project like Dragon Punks overall is helping out with what Mama Bear is going to do.
Right. Or like Mama Bear helps out with what Dragon Punks is going to do.
And just in this particular circumstance. But so so moving forward even that all that stuff to me
is kind of just like it's okay but the more structured we get the more we'll be able to do
like even opposing ones let's say right so now we can put like i don't have any examples off the top
of my head but like like, you know,
two projects that have two totally different demographics that are doing spaces at the
same time so that they're getting two sides of the GPC all at once, you know, and there's
just so much that we could do with it.
The space scheduling is pretty cool.
I think what's really important though is when we do those big promotional spaces, those
are the ones that we like really collaborate on.
Like if you want to do a space on a Tuesday or a Thursday or whatever, you know, those are the days that I'm on.
So like tell me, hey, I want to plan a space for this particular time, a big promotional space.
I'm like, hell yeah, let's do it.
We can do it on your account.
We can do it on mine, wherever you want to go.
But I'll promote that space instead.
And that's just my point of view on it. Yeah, I get it. account we can do it on mine wherever you want to go but i'll promote that space instead um and
that's just my point of view on it yeah i i get it 100 but i'll just tell you the angle i'm coming
from when i say that my vision for this long term where i see green pill collective going is
24 hours a day brother seven days a week we're going to have enough projects to fill every single
time slot so it will almost be like a radio station that's what i was trying to say in my
high ass state on sunday morning is that we could turn this into even like a youtube uh like video
like 24 hours of like streaming you know each person has an hour we need to build that out
right now that's why i'm saying all of this organization and all of that might just might
seem like oh why do we need to do that but it's because where i can see this going is a very
organized 24 7 crypto radio slash media show that doesn't stop it just keeps going like all different projects
so you'll have your like you're saying all different tastes bro you'll have every taste
that you can imagine in those in in that seven day schedule every taste from bro whatever you
want meme coin to nft to solana to bitcoin every taste so that's that's the vision
is to just have everything right all right okay so now that i see that as well right i think the
best this is my opinion as well i think the best approach on that is to do that i know you're
working on it as well with the um the thc humor account when we transfer that one over that that one's the main
one that hosts so it's hosting 24 7 but then we all come in and co-host on those certain things
right and then we we give different permissions to whoever like whether it's crypto stone or the
mad queen or different time zone regions and then that's the main host space always like and the
stream can be up too we can do that but then we all restream to
the different perspective platforms and our account is still in there we're right up there
next to that host getting the co-host but ultimately it's the gpc that is like consistent
and i totally agree with that vision too i could see a 24 7 space and maybe we don't have enough
projects quite yet to be able to do it like with quality, right?
Like we could have it, but it'd be some long shifts in there and stuff right now.
And like fluctuating schedules would be a little tight.
But that's exactly what you're saying, right?
Getting the organization together, getting those schedules down.
Fucking if you work nine to five, let us know you work nine to five so that we can schedule you in for your one hour time slot here.
So that gives Rick Starr his one hour break.
He knows he can go cook some food real quick.
Or he knows he can go take a shower or do his thing real quick.
And then come back and be ready for it again.
Or a big man's going to pick it up or whatever.
And then you can almost be on call a little bit kind of like, right?
You know what I mean?
Where like somebody's like, hey, I'm not busy today.
I can float in if you need me type of shit.
So I totally see where your vision's at. And I know what you're getting at now for sure. somebody's like hey i'm not busy today i can float in if you need me type of shit like so i totally
see where your vision's at and i i know what you're getting at now for sure i think i think
also bro you know timeline is also important you know i'm not talking about like anytime soon i'm
talking about like even in a year's time because if we have like a hundred just imagine bro 100
150 projects bro there's not going to be a lack of
like it's going to be so easy that you're going to be like you're only going to have to do one or
two hours a week because there's going to be such a demand for people to host those slots because
like you're saying if we if we hosted that way and the thc humor account hosted uh well it's going
to be the green pill collective at that
time but when the green pill collective account is hosting 24 7 with 250 000 follower accounts
and all of us bro it will create a snowball effect like you've never seen before honestly that's
you'll be at the top of spaces constantly that your name will never leave the top of the spaces it will be
like mario nofo when he he logs on but it will be a radio station that goes 24 hours a day with all
music different characters different people different projects that's the vision bro why
why hasn't anyone done that in in crypto yet because it takes a lot of people and collaboration and organization to do
that so we we're starting off now with with the collaboration and getting all the projects and all
of this shit but honestly bro one year goes by so quickly and in one year i believe we'll have
enough projects to to run this thing 24 hours a day, seven days a week,
which would be almost groundbreaking for Web3
because no one's ever done anything like that before.
You could almost turn it into like a TV channel type of thing, bro.
A thousand percent.
I was just doing the math with 100 projects 24 hours seven days a week
it's 1.68 hours a day you know per project so if you do it 100 projects it's really not a lot of
time and that's just like you're like the minimum like that everyone would have to put in right and
we got some people that are willing to do a little more, some people that have to do a little less.
So it's definitely feasible to do it with 100 projects.
No problem.
I think we could even do it roughly with like 50 to 70 projects,
like pretty easy in my opinion.
You know what I'm saying?
Like that's like, and I mean consistently doing that for like a year or longer,
like running it and then getting a public broadcast put up on it
and like all kinds of different stuff and obviously like you said timeline this is further down the
line we're gathering it all together right now we're getting the pieces in place so that we can
do these things but it is that's the vision and i totally see it rick i do bro i honestly like this
this shit isn't you know when you can see something so clearly that's how i
see it right now i see all of the stuff happening and i don't see any obstacles in the way i just
see hard work and perseverance that is going to be the recipe that's required to make it happen
but i just think people are going to love it and then then my question to all the community is, you know,
what value does that put on you being an OG, you know,
of being the original supporters of this 24-hour,
seven days a week thing that runs with all the top projects in Web3
because they will all come knocking.
That's what you guys must also realize is that we small now,
but when we get to that listenership and we on that big account the big projects are all going to come ask us for
slots you know and then it's the small guys that are running the show and say yes or no that's
where we want to be a true decentralized system where there's no one that's at the top it's just
it's it's us that build it together you know know, we are building this shit together.
So let's keep doing it,
bro.
This is a good talk that,
you know what I love about this?
This is what you call building in public,
like our community here as building this out.
So they can say like in six months time,
yo bro,
look,
they doing it,
bro.
They doing seven.
They said that I was six months ago.
I was on a space and I heard big man and rick speaking about this shit and look bro they just announced
they're doing seven days a week now and you guys will feel like a sense of uh like
not belonging but like you'll feel a part of all of this you'll be like bro i was there like this
was and we're we're like you guys don't have to do it like just
keep showing up that's it and yeah that's about it and we'll do all the rest of the work
yeah big facts big facts rick yo it's been a pleasure and much love i love it uh the way you
wrap that up too with building in public and that's what that's what it is man there's nothing
to hide we're authentic you being here you are a part of it like that's what it is, man. There's nothing to hide. We're authentic.
You being here, you are a part of it. That's it. You are the growth. We are the growth. You know what I'm saying? All of us together. And let's just keep doing what we're doing, refining what
we're doing, getting more organized as we go, and just keep pushing with that same mentality, man.
That discomfort that you might feel sometimes with certain things that's because you're you're getting out of your comfort zone man and that's where the growth really happens
that's where it happens and i'm super super bullish on it and i'm really grateful for the
opportunity and the experience that i've even had thus far so i can't wait to just i the vision and
the train is still on the same path bro bro. And that's something amazing to me.
Because sometimes when you get lots of groups of people together like this, it doesn't always end like that.
It doesn't always continue to grow in this diversity and opinion.
We've had multiple different opinions on things and ultimately come to a colomerate vision on it and say, yep, that's the right path.
Regardless of how my view was at first or not, I still say, yep, that's the right path. Regardless of how my view was at first or not, I still say, yep, that's the right path
because that's the end goal right there.
We're all seeing that same goal.
And that, to me, that's what really matters.
Yo, Tricky, I see you.
We need that 2FA from, I don't know, if you could do two, do two, but.
It's Tricky Buddha from DeFi Space Donkeys
you know it
I put up a
little post this is the audio
for tomorrow
which we'll have them join there
and then we'll have them join the restream
so yeah
I tagged the
Cheech and Chong project and it looks like we'll
probably be moving this over to a larger account here soon.
But yeah, for now, I put it there because it's just another account to go live.
When we stream, I'm broadcasting through my main account on live.
And then also YouTube, Facebook, and Twitch.
So we're going to have a bigger audience every single time.
This is epic.
But yeah, make sure you're following the original
DeFi Space Doggies Club account
because I don't take this into enough spaces.
I need to put it in more.
I'm trying to get more devices.
It's tough with seven accounts.
It's just a little bit tough.
My man said seven accounts. Yeah it's just a little bit tough my man said seven accounts yeah that's crazy i'm over here tackling trying to tackle one one one of myself talking in one space i don't need to be talking all cryptic in three spaces
at the same time like trying to answer questions yeah i know not for me but i am my own biggest
supporter though i mean you know that guy always has something nice to say.
Very encouraging.
Yo, big love.
Big love, dude.
All right.
I think it's about that time.
Give me one second.
Actually, give me one second.
One second.
Crypto, are you there?
Do you want to talk?
Oh, yeah. I can take over for a minute while we wrap up.
What an amazing space it's been today, y'all
It's been a good day
I just had some lunch with Wifey
We had some Chinese food
It was delicious
I love all the talks, the community
The building, the kind of
Re-establishing
The Organization of it all. Uh, it's something that is important
as we get bigger, just because it's going to make everything so much easier. And I,
I see the same thing Rick does where it's going to be, you know, 24 hours a day at one point,
you know, because we have enough trusted people and projects being able to facilitate and run things. And, you know, I think it'll get to a point where, you know,
we are hosting our space a week and doing ours, but then also just popping into as many projects
and family spaces as we can throughout the week and just constantly connecting and networking
and building together, right. That's the other
biggest thing about all of this that I love is we have so many projects and projects that are early,
you know, like Solana Deads, where it may benefit us to ask, you know, from another project,
you know, who's got who understands how to do this or who's worked with this and and then being
able to cross, you you know pollinate and cross
collab especially because it builds even more trust right when we have people inside the
collection or the collaborative here of everyone being you know together and being like yo yeah we
have a 3d modeler that's been working on like seven eight projects you know we have a coder
that's worked on 20 projects you know and, and he helps everybody. And you know that that person is genuine.
You don't have to be vetting every time that you need help.
We have people that we can just go to.
Be like, hey, do you have time?
Yeah, cool.
No, we'll go to the of eggs to reach into and ask for help from.
And it's going to help all the projects.
Every project is going to be able to grow and expand and build what they want to build.
But with the help of people in the community, you know, so that it just helps everyone.
of people in the community, you know, so that it just helps everyone. It just, it really is gonna,
it's gonna make things more cost effective, cheaper for people, while also still supporting
the people that are growing in the space and creating their own businesses and brands. And,
you know, especially people that want to be a part of the collective and getting into it,
you almost like, well, as we get bigger, it's good. There's going to be intern roles and
leadership roles and things like that, that will open up and position. And everyone's just going
to have a niche. Even if you're not building a project, you may be just helping all the projects
all the time. Someone like Pup, you know, Pup is as much as he builds his own projects, he's always
building with other people. He's art collabing and just drawing and doing things for everyone else too. And I feel like he's very fair about it. He just wants to be busy.
He doesn't really care necessarily on how much he's charging you as much as he wants it to be
fair and that he's willing to do something that's fun. So we see already the collaborations of
people that we're getting, the growth, Justin being able to help with blockchain development and coding for so many different projects and kind of collaborate with them and help people understand the growth that they have in front of them or the, not expectations, but the, you know, just the gravity of what they may be building. They don't even see where Justin does because he understands what can be done with code
and where the limits are or aren't.
There's not a lot of limits in coding.
You can do a lot.
So, yeah, I'm just happy to hear all that.
I'm so thankful for everyone that's been hanging out in the space today.
You guys are always amazing sharing the space, always holding a consistent listening.
We heard from so many good projects today.
I had an amazing time listening to Decoop this morning.
The music was just absolutely fire.
So, yeah, no, thank you for letting me hop back in and chat for a few.
You guys, I just love what we're doing.
I love what we're building.
And it's just the beginning.
We're just getting started. The cook is going to be that slow crock pot, low heat, super juicy,
just meaty cook. It is going to be a stew for the ages. So I'm excited. And yeah, I hope everyone has an amazing rest of the day too.
Yeah, we appreciate you, Stoner. Thank you for holding down the floor for a minute too. I
appreciate you and gives you a chance to give you flowers out as well. And thank you for coming in
here and wrapping a couple of great projects, Getty, Solana Deads, dude, both of those projects
and their founders. They're just, they're people close
to my heart, in my opinion, just from the beginning of everything, from replies to spaces to just
educational perspective with the Mad Queen trying to get there, you know, people to know how to use
these assets and build 3D assets and stuff. That's absolutely amazing. So I just appreciate all y'all.
and stuff that's absolutely amazing so i just appreciate all y'all and if anybody else has any
uh last few words i'm gonna play a song and i and then i'm gonna play a clip i didn't feel like
i could do the usual you know sign off that i've been the funny sign that i've been doing because
we've been talking about some real stuff so i had to i gotta play a real song first and then um and
then i'm gonna do the little little funny sign off just for half a
second but if anybody else wants to speak to speak now what are you more excited about a uh a glass
blower collaboration an edible collaboration or a music collaboration i got them all my dms right
now more excited for so all right so for me personally it would be the glass
blowing only because the music collaborations are there like they're within my grasp right so
i could get those but the glass blowing that's amazing dude but is it functional glass or is it
like just pendants and stuff yeah uh special k glass is he's a d5 space donkey um the bong father
so like they got an nft that is a forever bong.
It's a customized bong, and if it ever breaks,
and they're in business still, he re-blows it and just mails it out to you.
I can get us all Green Pill Collective glass bongs that are forever bongs.
Yes, please.
Yeah, I know Sox would love it, and I'd probably take a couple rips out of it i don't
smoke bongs often which i probably should smoke those more than i smoke my other stuff but um
i was thinking about when i hit on camera like that size is like my daily driver i want to make
one that size and shape but make it like galaxy uh colors for the defy space donkeys um and i was
thinking about putting like a green pill on it for like
the green pill collective and we could and then I was like well forget that we should just make it
a green pill collective bong so let's just like kick out I know our ideas like what colors we
want we could even make them like in different batches different colors and stuff too like if
we wanted to do ones like I don't know we can we can make like, let's say there's 10 that are more galaxy colored.
There's 10 that are more like just green or, you know, if someone like is a fan of red.
No, we don't know. We can talk about it. Like, we'll have to kick it around in Discord.
But yeah, I got I mean, he's all I got to do is call him.
Well, what you're saying is Tricky got the plug for the glassware to do.
That's what he's saying
and i definitely could see us rocking some gpc glassware too bro that's that's i had 20 sponsors
that were weed related sponsors uh last year yeah dude that's absolutely insane tricky that's phenomenal glass is something so i had a buddy
that like he took some classes and met some people locally and stuff but um i didn't know
like he don't know them people anymore so i didn't have anybody in my rolodex i normally do have some
people in my personal irl rolodex but not that category. How much would you pay for a Green Pill Collective Forever Bong?
Yeah.
I'd have to see the Bong itself first, but I'd...
And, like, I don't know.
I don't know.
To me, it's priceless, kind of, too, so it's tough.
Well, the answer is $100.
Oh, bet.
That's not bad at all.
Yeah, with insurance.
With insurance.
Yeah, that's fucking phenomenal, dude.
Yeah, I just broke my baby, my $200 bong the other day.
Actually, it was $400.
I got it on sale for two, so I might need a new bong anyways.
I was so sad.
My triple perk is gone
we could yeah we could make a special green pill collective uh stamp to stamp into the glass we
could like even if we wanted to put like special shower heads or something like that in there in
the down stems and so like that we could do we could do something like that too like we just
got to talk to them they got everything all worked out though.
Like it,
the guy's,
the guy's awesome.
I've got a lot of deads of this too.
Good God.
Put some skulls on this shit.
Ooh,
could be fire.
Just saying.
I've got some $35 and some $50 Sherlock's right now from special cake glass
that are in my mystery boxes,
which are like just a couple bucks more.
And it comes with like extra merch from, um, Zouchella.
But, um, yeah, big man, you want a skateboard and a Sherlock and hit me up.
Yeah, no big facts tricky. I do. I still have to hit you up about that skateboard.
That's something I got to grab.
I got to just send you something over next paycheck or something.
I've been saying that for like two weeks, but dude, you, IRL is crazy.
No stress. No stress. No, no i know i put more stress on
myself on it to be honest with you because it's something i want to do bro i'm just like
oh yeah dude it's crazy uh so with that being said we were talking about the gpc glassware and
stuff it kind of changed up the vibes for me for a little bit so i i think you're all just gonna
get the funny song.
You know what I'm saying?
We killed a couple minutes over here.
There was a good song in there, too.
If you want to know what the other song was that I was going to play,
it's All Together by Wookie Foot.
And it's tough because the song blares a little bit, too.
So the come through the space and all that stuff is going to sound like shit.
But you all know what this song is.
I'm going to play this.
I'm going to sign off. I'm going to go grab some food, get some grub. I love y'all. Make this song is. I'm going to play this. I'm going to sign off.
I'm going to go grab some food, get some grub.
I love y'all.
