Full Transcription
Thank you. you hey vdk happy wednesday i am i'm still putting loads of bookmarks at the top so feel free
to just chat with me whilst I continue going through my bookmarks and getting posts at
the top.
All good. I have nothing of importance to say but, hi, happy Wednesday. hi happy wednesday i guess i'll chat to you whilst i i put a lot of posts up there yeah happy happy wednesday indeed
it's um it's been a good week i've uh cleared some stuff off my to-do list not as much as i'd
have liked but um some stuff which is which is nice so i don't know how many of these posts i've already shared
and how many i haven't and how many are still relevant but i guess we'll uh find all of that
out in a bit yeah i sadly have not accomplished anything on our to-do list today i also though
did not accomplish making a to-do list today. I guess that's the
first the first step. I have things lingering on my eventually list but today was not the day.
That's okay. I think my Wednesday wins though are I do a two-hour group therapy, which has been super, super beneficial.
Definitely recommend.
Never thought I would like group therapy.
But it's been really, I guess it always feels like a win by the end of it.
So that's my win today.
Group therapy for the win.
Well, thank you for sharing.
I often feel like these spaces are a bit like that for me, right?
The opportunity to express and have people listen.
And hopefully not in too much judgment, but that's on them and not me.
Yeah.
I even got to show, not by names and like I wasn't going to sit there
and try to explain what Web3 is to 15 other people in my community.
But because it's all linked to the same hospital,
the two ladies that lead our group therapy
Wednesday morning sessions,
they brought up walk to the lighthouse
because they were both there participating.
I actually saw the one.
She helped make my cool button,
my mental health matters button.
And so she was asking who had attended a couple of
people had attended. I think I saw, I think I saw some hands go up, but like didn't necessarily walk
or, or get like super involved. So I took the time to mention that, yes, I had been like a
registered walker, like with the page and all that and uh got to and they thought it was so
cool that the people that donated to my page were people not in canada like i mentioned you and and
having some friends also in the states and they just thought it was super cool that Walk to the Lighthouse had become a global effort.
So it was it was kind of a win to be able to talk about that experience with them.
That is awesome. That is awesome. And it's the power of what we're able to do. And it's
it's finding the light because there's, you know, there's plenty of darkness, plenty of things that
we can we can take a negative view on in and around this space if we if we choose to but then there's so many
things like that that have just got a massive positive impact an impact that's unknown in a way
as well um so yeah no i'm grateful you got the opportunity to to share that i want to go to
guth before you know he has to go to bed because last time i spoke to him at this time it was like 3 a.m or 4 a.m or something ridiculous like that and prism you've got a co-host invite
um by the way no if you can't if you can't jump up just let me know and i'll throw it vdk's way
hi dave yes it's still 4 a.m i haven't switched switched switch switch which countries just yet.
I don't even know which country I'd go to.
It has to be.
Which one's winning?
I don't really know.
It's almost like the entirety of humanity knows that some great change is upon them with technology or something like that.
It's almost like we can tell.
Well, it is.
I think we're at the starting point of the next hundred years. I didn't feel that I would ever live through such a changing period
a such a changing period in human existence
in human existence.
it's it i can't press buttons it's crazy but i think vdk was going to say something
no i was just gonna say is any country winning with time changes except then i remembered
we're actually at my favorite one we're at fall back we always learned it at school
as like spring ahead and fall back and that helped us remember which way it went um we get an extra
hour and you know what I'm I probably will still wake up early and miss out on that hour but the fact I have the option to do that that's a win I mean I'm all I'm all for time like
the clock change in the UK I don't think that was what Guth meant but that's also cool um like in
the UK I think it's a a good thing uh because of just how like otherwise it would be get like dawn
would be breaking at like 2 30 a.m in the
middle of summer like that's just insane um so like there's a couple of good reasons for kids
would be walking home in the pitch black pitch black dark at 3 3 p.m in the middle of winter
if we didn't change our clocks so like there's a there's a couple of good reasons for it in my
opinion but yeah it's also a pain in the ass.
And it's like the thing that annoys me most of all about it is we all do it at different times.
That's what frustrates me about that.
If we all did it at the same time, it'd be fine.
Yeah, it's not globally friendly.
It's fine when you lived in your little bubble of everybody you knew was Canadian and everybody you knew was from Ontario.
And everybody changed at the same time, but now, yeah, globally,
the world needs to like figure this out.
We need to change at the same time, the same way.
Everybody needs to do it or nobody does it. Like it's something's got to give.
It is pretty nuts but yeah but i i i also want to go back to what guth said briefly because i i agree i think i think we're a a moment in time where we
get to set some values as humanity and i think those values will last a long time because of where technology's going and it's going to be a mass decision based on
you know everything that's happening not like no one individually is going to make this decision
but yeah we're all part of that process and we're all anyone that's playing with this technology
at the moment is having an influence and an input on these changes that are happening whether they realize it or not and the final point that I'd make to it is
you know like things are going to be tough for a lot of people because we you know it's going to
be a lot of change at the same time like when have we ever been able to realize that this is what
we're witnessing and I think that's from a from a bigger picture outside the individual perspective it's something that really sort of
fascinates me because I'm not philosophizing and and I spoke to this on on Monday a little bit so
like the that big picture part of me really loves thinking and talking about this stuff um so yeah i'm at yes
i think it's i think it's it's happening it's important and uh we get to be aware that we're
witnessing it and that's rather special well i think it is i maybe maybe i'm misreading it, but I think between AI, robotics, societal changes that we've witnessed in the last 20 to 30 years,
I just feel that something major is or has to happen to bring some realignment into a human direction into the next age whether it be a digital age or a
digital assisted age not sure quite where we're at and how digital is digital I think is the
the the point that you're making there from from my perception anyway like does digital mean that
everything's digital and we're fully digitally uploaded does it mean that our conscious is
digital like or does it mean that that we have just a ridiculous amount of tools to help us
move to what we'd like to think could be a world of abundance I guess. That's the big question isn't it how far
does adoption you know where does it stop where do we stop saying yes yes that's okay that piece
of technology is useful to us that piece of technology is for the better rather than the
worse so look I'm being very philosophical at after 4am in the morning but it is something
that I often do think about just where we are in our in our books. I get and it does bring me to
a point that I think it's important to think about and I have no idea what the answer is on this, but economics needs to change because fundamentally, labour and other things are changing and economic
principles that have helped humanity progress for a long time.
Parts of that fundamentally are still going to be required. And that's where it comes down to
markets. And that's what I was going to say to you about sort of the technology aspect of things gath
is that you know that the technology that we want and that is useful will be decided by markets
at least for the the short term how it's how it's decided after that if economics changes
i i don't know and that And that's an interesting thing to consider.
Can I say you're off to bed on that note?
Oh, I'm sitting here thinking, you know,
it's starting to run my brain ragged again.
But let's talk about wins.
I've been very excited to see the numbers that the Middie Punks collab
are slowly creeping up, some daily spaces,
adding some fresh love voices to the track.
It's been a lot of fun.
Yeah, that's been the highlight of my week
i'm gonna let prism jump in and say hello to him and let him finish off on this but yeah seeing
that that billion oh hello whoa whoa i just wanted to celebrate billions first prison
you said my name and then i'm sorry yeah i know i know. Anyway, carry on. Over to you.
Wow. Wow. I was wondering when you're going to let me talk. Okay, thanks.
Hello. Wait, hold on. Hold on.
I'm calling from my telephone booth from the 80s. Just letting you know.
Just hello, everybody. Happy Wednesday. I hope you're having an amazing day.
I think somebody talking about billions. I love billions. Let's go. Let's talk about it. We I think we filled up like what a big portion of the song.
Oh, my gosh. It sounds so good. And it did this amazing switch. I love I love the switch.
And I'm about to put it in the game. So you'll be able to hear it in Medivators soon. Very soon.
Just stay tuned on my account. i was going to say that that that
that little partnership uh collaboration affiliation whatever you guys are calling it
um is working is working well for you and i think it is it gives the the billions community that's
been it's very digital based very kind of technology based and you know with with some
sort of gamification around that because of the platforms that they're engaging with.
But it's given their community something different to get involved in as well.
And that's what's exciting about it from my perspective is, you know, the community
engagement in a different manner.
I thought you were going to say something about my telephone booth, but yeah, that's
fine.
No, I'm a child of the 80s.
Like, we need to normalize that stuff.
That's like, so like, you know, we just accept that it still exists, it's still around, and people need to deal with it, Prism.
The only problem is it gets really loud when you've got your volume turned up.
It does, right?
You have to turn it way down.
Hold on, sorry.
Turning it down now.
Whose volume needs to be turned down if it's playing through Guth's phone?
And are we going to be whispering?
It was probably mine.
Sorry.
But no, Dave, I think, you know, that collaboration when songs told me what was going on with that, I was very excited because it is a very international community.
I've been to a couple of Nigerian spaces today.
I've been to an Indian space.
I've been to an Indian space.
You know, it's not unusual to go into a billion space
and be listening to different languages being discussed,
discussing a similar technology.
And for me, that breaking those language barriers
is going to be a huge part of how the world moves forward.
And AI is doing that already with automated translators.
You buy new technology now and they've got translation stuff kicking about on the device
you're using.
And it's only going to get better and better.
That's rather exciting.
We talk about that in one of the Voice Note Suck episodes a little bit.
Or was that one of the AI episodes?
Anyway, we've definitely talked about it at some point um but songs songs uh we were just talking about billions and what's
going on and how many people are on the love song and how prism is going to upload a new version to
the game a new demo version to the game i should say yeah yeah that's great i had some other fun algorithmic news for you dave i was listening to a podcast
and you know how spotify kind of just chose choose something for you when you're done and
guess what they choose when i was done with my podcast well that's pretty awesome some of that
might be because you follow me and we put a new episode out there but it's still pretty awesome some of that might be because you follow me and we put a new episode out there but it's still pretty awesome um but yeah i uh it's we had a couple of episodes do that on youtube so
maybe there's something we're doing songs but no it's uh we've seen a few listens uh today
having pushed it a little bit and um i'm very appreciative of it we're about to hit the 500 of this and on spotify so um that's that's quite nice
and uh i'm very appreciative to to all of our all of our fans i don't know i hesitate saying that
all of the people that are supporting us and uh like listening along so no thank you very much
um but yeah i i appreciate your songs and uh there's some more hopefully some more interesting topics coming
um in this in this series stuff that we like talking about anyway
yeah it just came out of a surprise when the first one ended us on here
was his voice no socks with dave and jay i know those guys i know those guys
yeah that that episode we recorded i don't know maybe january or february it's been a long year
of recording so it was the first time i'd listened to it i listened to it today at work it was um
it was interesting like it it didn't feel like we recorded it in in january or february listening to
it but yeah that's uh that's definitely maybe it was a bit after that but anyway it was that sort of part of the year but we also have silantax up here and i don't want to say hello and he probably came up here
because we were talking about technology and ai and philosophy and things and i don't want to
disappoint him happy wednesday silantax happy wednesday i was just coming up to say that you say that the market is going to kind of dictate where the technology goes.
And I think I agree with that until the point that the technology basically is essential.
Once the technology becomes essential, humans will figure out how to get that technology.
AI can't be air-gapped and completely secure.
Otherwise, it has no way to access the data.
So anything that's not air-gapped and completely secure away from a network is vulnerable.
Somebody will figure out how to break it.
And maybe it will be, you know, at first it'll be people
who we don't want to have it, but eventually open source and things of that nature, I believe
everybody will have access if they want it.
That's the only way we get to the future that I think a lot of us would like to see.
And it's what happens with other technologies
and it becomes more accessible, more affordable, more usable if people want to use it. So,
yeah, I think, yeah, I don't know, it's interesting. I find it fascinating and I don't know what the
answers will be, but I'm grateful that we get to witness it and be part of it and be aware that
we're part of it as well I think that's the exciting thing there are loads of wins at the
top and I can probably go and find some more as well in my bookmarks but yeah feel free to
scroll through the posts if there's anything you want me to share chuck them down in the comments
I will get them up at the top I did want to say prism you you came in and we jumped straight into
the the billions uh collab with midi punks was there any other wins that you wanted to talk
about or anything else that you wanted to to share to talk about oh thanks thanks dave um yeah i think
the um there's two things that well i mean i've been working on shipping a lot of things this week.
So we have the MIDI shots.
Those are available to all MIDI punk holders.
It's a fun way to have like a fun photo booth.
So where you can take your picture with multiple MIDI punk characters, whether it's Note or Mito.
They're such, you know, and even ragnar if you
really want to if you want to silence them i mean maybe you want to fight them back you know
little boss mode uh so yeah that's that's a lot of fun and then we also uh shipped my midi punks
which is a way to like see all of your midi punks in one place and find out your brick score so you
can check that out uh if you're a midi-punk holder,
any of the midi-punk,
like you can have even some of the collab midi-punks,
characters that we've done, music, NFTs,
and the characters are all available right in one place.
I think that's it.
Oh, wait, there's something else.
I forget.
Oh, there's, yeah, nope.
I did an interview today
that was pretty good practicing talking about the journey I really enjoyed that that was a private
thing so not not public um and I mean there's so many things going on right now so but thanks for
asking uh Dave and uh appreciate all the support and feedback what what was the I want to know more
about the interview.
What was it about?
Was it about what you're doing at the moment or was it related to one of the things that
you contract for?
It was about, they were asking about content creation, like the process of content creation
and how chaotic the content creation process is.
Or like what tools are we using?
Like what have I like gravitated to? how chaotic the content creation process is or like what tools are we using like what are what
have i like gravitated to and uh also kind of like what obviously it's kind of a sales thing
too to kind of find out like can we use their tool as well so uh but yeah like some it was
kind of talking about the journey it was supposed to be a like 10 minute conversation end up being
like 30 minutes but it's a friend of the space, so I'm totally down another developer.
So yeah, always like, always nice to talk to some devs and get some tips from them.
So yeah, I appreciated the time.
So it was a really, it was a really nice space
or a nice chat, unfortunately not public,
but yeah, it would have been a good public space,
I think too.
Yeah, I mean, I, yeah, sometimes these things are,
I like they're good to be public.
Other times it's good to, it all depends, doesn't it?
Sometimes it's good to kind of have that sort of conversation
that you would have in public, but have it in private as well
for practice or for other things.
So, yeah, you know, I think there's plenty of good things
that can come from that, including new relationships and stuff.
So that's exciting.
And I love what you're doing with the the midi punk stuff at the moment and I'm excited to see
what it all means because like it's it's kind of it's kind of sitting there meaning something
at the moment and um you guys are kind of holding on to that a little bit so uh I'm excited to to
see what it's what it's what the relevance will be.
But, yeah, it's good to have everything in one place, right?
It's all about that branded feel.
You go into MidiPunks, you hit the MidiPunks website, and everything is there that is relatable to what you're doing.
And it's easy to navigate as well.
And then the canned app and MidiShots app, just super easy to to navigate as well and then the the canned app and uh midi shots app just super
easy to use and that that's that's what we need to be able to do for people to to get them to want
to get involved in this stuff so yeah it's exciting to to see that so yeah congratulations and if you
haven't logged on to the midi punks website and you're a new MidiPunks holder
and you haven't logged on for a moment or two,
you definitely should and definitely have a look at that feel.
And offer any feedback you've got to these guys.
They're very receptive.
They do like to listen to the feedback that's offered.
Thanks, Dave.
Yeah, I think, oh, the other win I guess I had was the uh I started the reply guy
strategy and had probably the biggest number of impressions I've ever had on this platform
I think it was on Sunday that I had the most but yeah like it's like blast off but I'm not trying
to be like I'm it's pretty crazy yeah I don't know like I don't know exactly but I'm not trying to be like, I'm, it's pretty crazy. Yeah. I don't know. Like,
I don't know exactly what I'm doing, but it's kind of fun. So I figured why not have a little bit of fun during the day? Um, so yeah, so that's been, I think I have, I think I have over a hundred
notes. See in the last three months, uh, 272,000 impressions. And like most of that was done in the last three days i'm glad you're seeing some success and and having fun like at the the same time right that's the
important aspect of this like we do enough stuff that feels like work some of us are even getting
paid to do work like that's not what you want to be doing on your social media account if you can
if you can help it um so yeah no i i yeah it's exciting
prison playing with new things exploring exploring different ways of engaging with people and um
are you getting a little bit uh more relaxed with some of your replies or are you still focusing on
like canning celebrities i'm letting the canning go to songs of eden he loves to can no i just
and guth's really good at it too so maybe once in a while if i feel the feel the uh
the urge it's i like to can myself you know that's my favorite thing to do
it's so it's so easy which is the one anyone can get canned right is that the way it works
or is it the other way around anyone can get i think so i think they anybody can go you know
they can can themselves i guess and they can also can others i guess i yeah i don't know it's
upload a photo and go get canned so it's that any but anyone can do it is the point prism you don't need to hold a midi punk oh no yeah it's open it's
open yeah the other fun thing i was doing is and this is for people that love to can
is to say like instead of frames like go get canned you know cans are canning getting canned
is better than framing i think that's the that's the new one something to that effect put that in
your gpt get five variations of saying that,
and you'll get all of a sudden a bunch more replies.
I know, Gath, you're listening.
So, yeah, definitely go do that.
I just, every time I see somebody with a set of headphones on,
I just want them to have MiniPunks headphones.
It's really bad.
I've been watching a lot of sport lately,
and a lot of sport lately and
a lot of the the crossovers to the players they've got cans on and i'm like will you just
fucking go and get candy motherfucker
yeah yeah that that that's right yeah except for the cursing word i think dave doesn't like that
in the space so be careful please don't there's a time and a place for it and if um if you catch me outside of a public i've got the audio fi
lurkey bot listening in down there so i'll make it a public apology for swearing in uh dave's space
and i'll i've noted that um noted that in my my gift diary there.
Definitely, definitely.
Someone should drop a note in the comments, I'm sure.
I'm sure Guth will in a second.
But yeah, that's what it's all about.
I can't wait until you decide what does getting canned mean into GPT and it doesn't turn around and say game fired.
It turns around and says getting a pair of digital headphones
put on a picture that you've uploaded to MIDI punks.
That's what I'm waiting for. I'm waiting for that moment in time.
I think you missed the definition, but that's okay.
It's a technically correct definition, but incorrect definition of what it actually is.
So you have to pay attention more and you'll learn exactly what it actually is. So yeah, you have to pay attention more and you'll
learn exactly what canning is. There's various definitions, isn't there? There's also the
definition that I wasn't aware of. Like we wouldn't call the provision of like produce,
like sort of pickling or jarring uh things we'd never call that canning
in the in the uk it wasn't until vdk started doing it and she was like yeah i'm doing a lot
of canning i'm like what do you mean like what what what are you trying about and then she
explained i was like oh oh right i get it i understand what you're doing i really feel
like that would have been a British thing.
I mean, maybe it is.
Maybe it's just something I've never heard of.
I mean, I get a lot of customs and sayings,
but I'm sure there's someone missing.
What do you do with your excess produce?
We jar it and we pickle it.
But, you know, we don't can it.
We put it in glass jars
and put lids on it and then
call it, you know, pickling.
Aren't those jars
called canning jars?
Possibly.
I've got no idea. I've never bought one
on a website or from a shop.
I couldn't tell you.
The jarring jars.
Jam jars.
Like, you know, when my mum used to do stuff like that,
we weren't in a position to go and buy new jars.
They were carefully curated, collected and kept jars.
So things changed as our family grew grew older and my younger sister lived
a different upbringing to me but yeah when when i was at home and mom was doing those things and
i'd have been aware of it it yes i just i'd have never found out about it that way do you still
collect jars dave do i still call jars jars do you still collect jars oh no i don't i don't i've got no need to
oh mate i'm i'm terrible i'm terrible with it so i collect my coffee jars i collect my jam jars i
collect anything that's a glass jar that can be sterilized and it's got a screw top lid i it's like an obsession and i don't know what it is
um but i if anyone ever needs a jar just let me know i've collected lots of stuff and it's one of
the things i'm most grateful for for the digital world like i can collect things digitally now
and they can be relevant and i don't need to fill my house with absolute like and I still there's still things that I keep.
Don't get me wrong, because I've got I've clearly got that mentality.
But I like being able to try and collect different things digitally.
It's it's yeah, it saves my house from a lot of clutter, house, flat, apartment, whatever you want to call it.
I live in a town center um it's over
two stories but it's above shop so you know it's kind of a mixture anyway enough about me there's
loads of posts at the top that are all wins um happy to share some more of yours i need to check
the comments to see if there are any in there there's high chance if you're in here there's a
win of yours shared at the top in one form or another anyway.
So do scan through and have a look at some of that stuff.
I will talk about those posts briefly in a bit.
I do want to say hello to Tricky though before I get into that.
And I will just see if anyone's left any posts to be shared at the top in the comments quickly.
But yeah, happy Wednesday Tricky.
It's Tricky Buddha from DeFi Space Donkeys. any posts to be shared up the top in the comments quickly but yeah happy wins stay tricky it's
tricky buddha from d5 space donkeys powered by weed on solana get yourself a bag of weed
what's up guys i uh i shared my win down there i uh i hit 5k verified followers let's go
that's awesome being twitter again are you um are you are you on the creator payout into on twitter are you like prism farming farming
that engagement getting on those replies oh yeah i got i got uh monetized a while back um but yeah
i uh i am i have uh monetization i've got, and now I don't have to pay for being here ever again.
So that's another 300 bucks in revenue I'll get a year, right?
That is a win.
That is a win.
Congratulations.
And yeah, I've got that post shared at the top.
So no, well done on that.
How long has it taken you of like concerted effort like
specifically attacking that goal rather than just building your twitter account um well i think
about last year sometime when i hit um 10k i was like i realized i was pretty close like i wasn't
that far away from getting that um so i was like i was at like like,000, 2,200 or something like that. So since 10K to like 13, 7K, I basically, most of those are verified.
Or I guess because, yeah, I'm at like 36% verified now.
So it's pretty good.
But it's kind of hard to like focus on that because, I mean, you'd have to like, you got to like schmooze with all the blue check accounts basically
but I've been ever since I got monetized they changed the algorithm so you get paid based off
of engagements more than views so I've been like stocking like all the gold checks accounts and
like trying to get them to respond because if you get a gold check to respond and engage you get way
more money for that for keeping that account on You know, they just want you to keep the paying people here.
You know what I mean?
So doing that, I think, helped too, because I got a lot of gold checks following me, and
then I got a lot of bigger accounts following me, and then also monetizing the other accounts
that I'm working with, and, like, I've got delegate accounts and stuff, too, so I have,
like, 12 accounts total, so I'll jump into a space with like my other accounts
that i got like a half million and i'm like and i'm also working on this one and you know getting
to follow this one too that seems to work pretty well no i think the goal i think what you said
about the gold the gold accounts is is a is something that i'd not considered because i mean
i don't have the the willingness to put the time and the effort into that at the moment.
Just not for me.
And it's not a judgment on anyone that's doing it.
But for someone like Prism, who's just starting this exploration out,
I think hints and tips like that are really useful for him to explore with
and see if they'll work for him.
And anyone else that's looking to monetize their Twitter slash X accounts,
if that's what you want to do.
Like the reply game is where it's at.
And it's about being at the top of replies and being seen.
But it's also like those interactions and like, yeah, the focusing on the gold check accounts.
Who are the people that pay this platform the most?
Probably makes a lot of sense.
Yeah, that's what they want they want
they just want to keep those that money here you know what i mean and and those those people
engaging so it makes sense but um it can be like a little bit of a pain because some people who
get that gold check don't follow anybody but um but yeah you can you can see by their follow
and following ratio if they're like gonna possibly follow you back and like look at their replies on their timeline and see if they even reply because if you can find one that does
that is actively replying because that's actually the best way to get monetized is you just buy a
gold check and then like everybody with a blue check will follow you pretty much automatically
like you'll get over 10k in that first year and then you'll never have to like spend money on
verification again like I think the first time if you're a business like it makes sense if you're
not a business then don't bother uh if you're not really trying to market anything then it's not
necessarily you know critical to be verified but if you're trying to push anything or help
get exposure on stuff you got to have at least a blue check so um yeah then it helps to
work with the team and you've got a lot of followers too so like i got a buddy i trust
like you could make him a delegate of your account and he'll get you monetized um and
you might have a good amount of money waiting for you too because like you get back paid for like 18
months sometimes and that so how many how many know, engagements and views you've got over the
last 18 months that you're going to get all that payback.
Like my first paycheck was like 175, but I've had friends that got 200, 300.
One friend got a grand when he finally got his verification because he was getting like
three to five or three to four million every like couple of months.
But you have to get five million in three
months and you just got to do it once but he finally got it and then got credit for like you
know several million uh you know going back pay and that was that was pretty cool but um it's not
worth your time for the money it's just like if you're trying to get seen out here and you're
building a brand then it's kind of like necessary right because once you do that play that game the algorithm pushes you out in front of so many more
people that it just it really makes sense if you maximize your time here you know what i mean
no no that's it and that you know back in 2021 when a lot of us joined that game was played by
the kols and the groups that they were in and like it was pushed by by that form and yes whilst they've still got a position of ability to influence things in in the current industry it's not quite like what
it was in terms of what what's seen uh on the crypto sphere but yeah it's like that all of
these platforms want want the same thing they want they want you on them and like x is just a
different version of the info fight game when it comes to create a you on them and like x is just a different version of
the info fi game when it comes to create a revenue just like tiktok is just like youtube is
no they they want you keeping people on their platform and they reward you for it that's exactly
what info fi is exactly what it is um so it's just different mechanisms of of the same tools to
encourage engagement in in whatever way form or like
and the issue for me and the issue for a lot of people is you just end up with like brain dead
content because that's what people respond to like the clickbait rage bait deliberately wrong stuff
that we all see all of the time and we know what it's out there doing and if you're if you're going
for engagement you should be doing that and i don't like saying that
very much but that is what it is like that's what you've got to do they've actually changed things a
little bit though and and you don't want to play the game like that like that's the way you can
get monetized quickly but you end up getting followers that aren't really supporting your
stuff and you end up getting a lot of other interactions that actually can hurt you negatively
like the thing is if you say something like kind of trolling you'll get a bunch of views but if you
get a bunch of people who mute you or block you or something like that as a result it's going to
hurt your your social credit score on here and you're not going to be able to push stuff out
viral it just won't happen so you have to be careful and pick make sure you're getting people
following you that are in your niche.
It's not worth the rush to get it done and then have the wrong people following you.
And then you're not going anywhere, not being seen.
And those people aren't even helping anyway.
Because it's not like you're going to get paid so much from Twitter that you can quit your day job.
That's not a thing.
So, yeah, you got to stick within your niche and make sure you don't have any of that, that weird bullshit. I go through randomly, like I'll see someone who following me,
and I'm following them, but like, I've never seen them on my timeline, I'll block them. So they like remove them as a follower and then unblock them. So now they're like not a follower of mine.
And my engagement percentage rate will go up because the people who are seeing my shit more
of them are engaging right so if they
see my shit and they don't engage I will block them and then unblock them so they're not they're
no longer a friend of mine I don't need more than 10k followers like you don't so I can like do that
now like kind of play the game a little bit you know as long as I still have 5k blue verified and
I've got 10k total the algorithm is pushing me out pretty much to the max anyway, without me paying. So yeah, all these little tricks, man, I'm always here to help. Well, as I say, mostly,
mostly for those people that are pushing at the moment. And yeah, it's just not a, not a focus of
mine individually. I understand why it is a focus for people and why it should be. But yeah, I just,
there's, there's various things that you said in there that align with me that that mean i don't want to therefore spend the time and the effort
to to get to that point because it's it's just not a worthwhile return there's better things
in my mind for me to spend that time effort and potentially money thanks but yeah exactly
but it's good it's good input for people and these conversations are good for people that
are looking to to do this that do want to monetize, but they want to do it in a, you know, knowing someone that's that's doing it without fully playing that game or hearing anecdotes, stories, outcomes from people that aren't just being trolly is is good and useful, even if it does take a bit longer to hit that monetization band.
take a bit longer to hit that monetization band.
Yeah, everyone's got different goals.
You just got to figure out if your goals are worth it.
Sometimes they're not worth it.
I remember when I first came over here from TikTok,
because I was on TikTok for like a year and a half doing Web3 stuff
before they started really banning people for Web3 stuff.
Now they're totally cool with it.
But three years ago, they were getting down on people. And that's when I popped over here, and I tried to get monetized, and we were all, like, all of our group, we were like, we're real big supporters of Web3, which is a detriment if you're trying to get monetized, because if you engage with people who are shadow banned or not blue checkmarked, then it actually hurts your reach, so we were like, we'd support everybody and then not get very many many views and we're like what's going on here why isn't this working so
like we kind of gave up because we were all shadow banned and then engaging with
each other and then just getting each other shadow banned so it just didn't go
anywhere yeah and then like after a while I was just like all right I haven't
been like you know I haven't been like spamming things I've been kind of like
dead on this account because I I had this account taken away from me for six months.
It was suspended and I didn't think I was even going to get it back.
But I finally got it back. I was like, all right, perfect. It's like a clean slate.
I haven't been, you know, using this account very much. Get a blue check and push.
I got it done in like 10 days, honestly. It was actually really cool.
Now they've changed the algorithm, so it's a little bit more difficult, but there's little, you know, if you follow big accounts in your niche to grow and then it happens,
great. But like, I wouldn't, I would, I would just focus on the networking and getting quality
people, you know, on your account, because that's worth more than the follow numbers.
Yes. Yes. It's about the network and the people that you meet and and and here you know what
you're looking to push and build and be be part of as well i am i've had the most ridiculous couple
of months in terms of you know just things unexpectedly taking up my time um like we've
just had to randomly prep a load of stuff for the squibbles for for an event that we're we're going to to
figure out the licensing aspects of you know so that we can finalize our our pitch essentially
and seek proper investment so that that's that's come up i've had some issues with my car which
haven't been fun to try and sort out um but you know you know there's this isn't this isn't a win
this is definitely not a win but i've had. But you know there's issues with economies where your 15-year-old second-hand car isn't appreciating asset.
Like, that's not how things are supposed to work.
Same.
I've got a Prius.
It's 10 years old, and I negotiated a really good price for it, right?
Like, I negotiated, like, 20, 30% off the MSRP
when I bought it, brand new.
And now this 10-year-old Prius is worth 14 grand.
The dealerships are selling for like 16 to 18 grand.
I'm like, that's what I paid a decade ago.
Like what the fuck?
Well, that would take me onto inflation and sort and money and stuff like that in one aspect, which I don't want to dive too deep down that rabbit hole.
But yeah, secondhand cars become that kind of appreciating asset in an environment where not many people have got access to to assets that's that's why that
happens because there's a wealth of new cars available for people to go and purchase if they
want to um but they're kind of out of the the price range and you know people at the moment
don't want to be taking on the debt kind of speaks to some of the stuff we were chatting about
earlier um so you end up with you know cars that i mean
look they're still they're still mechanical big bits of mechanical equipment that work and run
and serve a very useful purpose and clearly have a value i'm not trying to say otherwise
but to replace my car like for like having put 20 000 miles on that car in the last three three and a half years uh would probably cost me
more than what i bought it for um which is which is where we're at at the moment and we're trying
to find a secondhand engine for my car and that's proving difficult when you don't have a car
um it's a challenge to to potentially you know you're're stuck with what a local garage can do for you, which is
then meant, anyway, because I've got this trip coming up, the time and all, look, you don't
need to know all my woes, but my time has been eaten up and I've ticked some stuff off the to-do
list with everything being sort of set up now on Spotify for the podcast. And yeah, there's still
going to be a little bit of work that we need to do around it but it's not it's not a lot of work which is what it's been over the last few weeks
wrapped up with everything else so i'm excited i'm catching up with vdk um after this space
about a couple of things um and and then jumping on some stuff that desperately needs my intention
exactly that vdk exactly that so you're going on a on a massive trip here like i want to i want to desperately needs my intention. Exactly that, CDK. Exactly that.
So you're going on a massive trip here?
I want to hear more.
I also got a quick shout out to MetaRides,
as seen in Forbes magazine.
Got to do it.
Got to do it.
No, you got to do what you got to do. So there's a licensing expo in London
in the first full week of October.
And we're heading to that. and there's all sorts of brands
children's brands like the trading card sticker brands that are out there book publishers
TV producers TV you know like the TV stations, I guess, football brands, soccer brands, like all sorts of brands to talk about all the different types of licensing.
And essentially for the squibbles, that's where any return on investment is going to be for an investor.
It's going to be in licensing, whether it's licensing the show, whether it's licensing future shows or whether it's putting Colin on lunchboxes.
It doesn't matter what the licensing is. That's where the potential return is. So
we really need to get that information in terms of costs so that we can effectively forecast.
And that's the missing piece.
And that's the missing piece. We've got forecasting information from
We've got forecasting information from ChatGPT and, you know, what's available online.
But it's really difficult to dive into how much it's going to cost to produce X amount of Colin plushies without sort of sitting down and having a lot of chats with people who want to know that you've got the money to do it before they go into fully offering the pitch so yeah i might be able to help a little bit i'm actually
also making plushies for uh my defy space donkeys so my pfp will be a plushie and then there'll be a
voice box in it that'll do my intro when you squeeze its hand so like that's a that's something
i actually have on the in the background um and i'm also going to make a very cheap one that's
just the the simple plushie,
a little bit smaller, and then sell those in stores.
So there's a couple different people that I know that have actually done this already.
A buddy of mine helped Snoop Dogg make his toy.
Another buddy is making plushies for their whole crew right now.
Do you know Silky?
No, I don't recognize the name but yeah so i mean yeah tap in when before you spend your money or whatever but a lot of them basically it's like
a you have to buy a preview or buy like a you know make a prototype and the prototypes are anywhere
from like 80 to like 200 and then after that you know the manufacturing line can get set up
and then the prices vary from there
based on how many you're going to get in quantity and whatnot um but there's lots of options out
there man i like plushies like most people do and colin and colin is absolutely adorable uh as
anyone who followed the crochet colin's journeys around the world will will testify to uh vdk your hand was up amongst
the plushy talk yeah i i think the tricky already answered my question kind of like some of the
overhead like what what does that look like leading up and then do you know offhand obviously And obviously it's always better to buy in bulk than like price wise,
but is it still manageable to do like on demand? Um,
like if you had a mark shop, no. Okay.
No, not really because unless it's a product that's already manufactured in bulk.
Yeah. You have to do pre-sales. Um,
which is what I would totally recommend is pre-sales
to get you to your first ship out. And then after that, you'll have money to afford to
buy more in bulk. Obviously, the bigger in bulk, the more you're going to save, the smaller
they are, you can get the price down pretty good too. So start with a small batch of smaller
ones maybe for your first run to see what the demand is too
right before you start like going real gung-ho on it but yeah I think a lot of people like plushies
and it's a pretty it's pretty easy thing to get going definitely there is a market for plushies
like I myself cannot walk through a store it's very rare to find them but I have
literally walked through a store and then freaked out like I was five years old because I found a
pink narwhal of all things in a plushie um bought more than one so that I could gift to somebody
else in the community because like who finds a narwhal plushie and then it was also pink which is our our tier three
narwhal and my favorite color so um definitely get that adults love the plushies just as much
as they get oh yeah no 100 and not only are they collectible um and like so like the like
different varieties like of the same character dress in different things, for example.
There's a like, there's that kind of, they get used, they get, they get shown in things, they get put in videos by content creators.
Like, they're more than just something that people want to want to buy, which is nice.
want to want to buy which is nice um i have heard some horror stories so if you are looking and
I have heard some horror stories.
nothing to what you're talking about or your friends tricky but if you seek certain suppliers
through certain places um like alibaba for example um then you might find yourself in a situation
where your end product doesn't meet your prototype so when you're looking at this if it's not
someone that you know or a contact that's formed through someone that you know and you know just
be careful and make sure you're doing your research with the company that's that's that's
making the production of them once an order's been put in uh because you are like like tricky
was saying once you make that order like you're you're liable for it like that's
the yeah that's the thing so to one thing you should do though you can get a storage unit
at a lot of places and if you have a storage unit as a company you can get insurance through that
so what happens is that you have your shipment arrive to your storage unit and get put in storage
and like it's totally under insurance that way if anything gets kind of fucked up you could get you can claim
their insurance through the storage company and that way if they do just
make some total weird bullshit that it looks like crap and it's like falling
apart you can just be like insurance you know what I mean that's that's one
thing um print I think is that is it printify or printful has an on-demand
plushy service that you can
so you might want to look into that as a potential um solution just to have low overhead but yeah
you're gonna you're gonna have way more profit and way less cost percentage if you do a bulk order
some it's something bram bram looked at with the mums and we did some serious research on what
what you need to do sort of through pre-order what you'd potentially be able to offer um and what different amounts are like like if you want two
and a half thousand the cost is going to be a lot higher than if you wanted 25 000 for example um
and the other thing to do is is you know how do you get these into shops if you're if you're
seriously thinking about ordering in bulk how can you potentially get them into some shops that's the other thing that you need to be considering put them in a
put them in your uh storage unit or send them directly to amazon fulfillment by amazon for
your first batch until like you know what i mean unless you want to make it your full-time job
that's what i would do i would just yeah send a whole bunch to amazon and be like
boom sell on amazon fulfillment by amazon i
don't gotta do shit yeah no all all good points and it's one of the many many different reasons
we're doing this like there's all sorts of merch opportunities for a children's brand
um all sorts of opportunities for licensing in all sorts of different different ways and
the information that we get is not going to help not only help us build out that costing and forecast forecasting aspect of our document
um our documentation i should say um it's going to enable us to to actually seek out investment
rather than waiting for investment to kind of come to us which is the position we're in at
the moment and another part of that process has been creating,
we've called it a pitch zine.
And it's essentially like at age six,
God, you Americans with your weird paper sizes.
It's like a tiny note, but like pocket,
genuinely like pocket sized little booklet that tells the story of the squibbles to date, essentially,
whilst talking about the language referring to the problems and the solutions that we see in the children's entertainment industry.
So like that kind of initial in with someone from a business perspective at a business place,
but something that's going to like it's going to make people remember us like so um that's been a lot of work to get that done over the last
couple of months with with what jay's been doing with colin who's in a magazine that's going out
to 120 000 kids at the end of october um so our main characters like yeah it's been a lot is is
what i'm saying but i've cleared we've cleared
a few things from the the to-do list and that means that i'm going to be able to focus some
time and effort and attention on f cancer um on getting axion put on there because they've
offered to sponsor the event this year um and really pushing the open call in in the final
few weeks over on webby social uh so i'm catching up with VDK after this space
to come up with a rough plan of action
on what we can do, hopefully, around content
on the Polyon Alliance accounts, on Webby
and on this platform.
And then I'll touch base with Cynthia
either later in the week or over the weekend and figure out
how we're going to push an event and yeah so anyway I've got a few things that I need to
so whilst my to-do list is cleared in some ways and it's you know there's other things that still
desperately need my attention which I which I need to get to loads of posts at the top I want to get
through them I want to give Prism an opportunity
to say something on all of that
because we were kind of talking about him
without really letting him talk.
And then we need to say hello to Hermie.
I assume it's Hermie at Metarite.
Yo, yo, yo.
I forgot what we were talking about.
Oh, yeah, followers.
Yeah, that's cool.
Impressions.
Yeah, I think it's an experiment i think it's good to experiment with new things
and i think that's kind of what i'm going with and i feel like at the moment i feel like it's a
like boss level um you know like i feel like it's a retro game like just kind of like okay i'm
i get the game like they do have a bit of gamification going on so you're like okay let's play into this gamification and yeah if i get a few dollars
you know that's fun and who knows like i mean i've been on this platform since like forever so
why not you know try some new features that they have and uh you know who knows it's it's reaching
new audiences it's getting the midi punks in front of new people. And that's kind of the, I'm always making sure I use the memes and the retro vibes and stuff.
So you're like, let's, let's go.
And MetaRides, over to you.
Or not.
Went to the listener, right?
He got a phone call, right?
He's like retro vibes.
I'm out.
I only drive modern future cars.
Yeah.
Only supercars, that's it.
Oh, I just remembered another win.
I got the last two episodes or issues rather of Crypto Magazine.
I have a cover of a book that we are making as a collab and my PFP is on the cover.
So you can see my PFP in Crypto Magazine, the last two episodes or issues.
No, that's pretty awesome. And like, whilst we don't need things like that,
they're incredibly validating when they come along. And you should enjoy and recognize the
moment, right? There's nothing wrong with that. As long as it doesn't stop you or, you know,
make you become, you you become too conceited.
Thanks.
Thanks.
I also pinned to my profile.
I keep on asking AIs, different AIs, who Tricky Buddha is.
And in the last couple months, it has been really, really accurate.
So my pinned tweet is asking perplexity who Tricky Buddha is. And it's been really really accurate so my pin tweet is asking
perplexity who tricky Buddha is and it's a fucking stellar review like if I said
that shit you'd be like yeah a little little arrogant you know but seeing like
AI like kind of recognized you like I mean I feel seen you know what I mean
like I'm so used to blocking out the noise from from people you know because
people will say good things bad things like who knows if it's really beenating or if they're just trying to, like, social engineer you.
You know what I mean?
But AI is like, there's no emotional bias.
It's not trying to get anything from me.
You know what I mean?
So I was like, all right, that's pretty dope.
But, yeah, you can check out my pin tweet or just ask AI yourself.
It's pretty amazing because usually you Google yourself, right?
This is like the Web3 version of Googling yourself. Yeah, no, no, exactly that. ask ai yourself it's it's pretty amazing because it's usually like you google yourself right this
is like the web 3 version of googling yourself yeah no no exactly that it's exactly that and
like you accept a correction like if it finds the wrong person like and you tell it like that's
that's not me like like this is this is who i actually am it will then go and find all of the
stuff on you um nice It's pretty nuts. And
just, yeah, the world that we live in is crazy. We leave a digital footprint. This is something
that we, I can't get, I couldn't tell you what episode, but in Voice Notes Up, one of the things
that said in one of the first series is it's a digital footprint is left by all of us wherever we go like it's really
hard to erase really hard uh as you see from all of the sensationalist news that's presented to us
all of the time like it's it's it's crazy so really really consider how you're putting yourself
out there on the on the internet during web 3 when you're speaking to people digitally like all of this
stuff you're being judged and you're being tracked to a point i mean well yeah that's how algorithms
work uh but but you know and that's how ai learns right by judging and tracking um it's that's what
it is that's it's a database of as much human knowledge as it can get its hand
on which is which is all digital at the end of the day um but yeah it's so you leave a digital
footprint it would have been we it would have been when we were talking about online personas
that would have been the episode uh because it's relevant to that and we all have an online persona
i'm quite a sweary person i don't swear in spaces because I want them to be a place where everyone feels comfortable and I know swearing makes some
people uncomfortable especially if they've got children and historically we were encouraging
of young artists coming through this space when we were much more of a pitchy chilly space um
back in the early days four years we've been doing this for four years. It's insane.
Are we October yet?
Not quite.
Not quite.
We've nearly been doing it for four years.
And, you know, just whilst I'm on that note,
thank you, everyone, for all of the support over the last four years at different times,
including all of you that are in here now.
It is massively appreciated.
You've kept me company.
You've kept me sane.
Many would argue you haven't, but from my perspective, you've kept me sane.
Despite how it looks and sounds, you guys have kept me sane.
Yeah, I completely agree.
This October is my four-year anniversary for the DeFi Space Donkeys Club, specifically.
So, yeah, let's go.
It's exciting i remember i remember me and uh beluga in january
2022 racing to a million impressions and i remember how many were how much work that was
like just just yeah it was insane i don't i don't want to do that again not in that manner anyway
not in the manner that that it had to be done back then.
Especially when you were organic and you weren't willing to pay for any of the backdoor favours offered by certain groups or the platform itself.
You moan about Elon all you want and there's plenty of things to moan about him for.
I fully appreciate that. But there's a few things that he's done with this platform like them or loathe them and you're entitled to either that I think are for for the betterment
of us all even if it makes us uncomfortable um so you know it's yeah yeah anyway um let's not
get lost on an Elon an Elon track because he tends to upset more people than most uh there is a taco up the top
that i want to point out just quickly as it's wednesday and we should shout about wins uh the
final mint and it will be the final uh taco mint the og taco collection will mint out this last
900 it's going to happen and it's going to happen before Christmas and you don't want to miss it. So that's happening. There's information being teased in the discord.
So if you want to find out some of the stuff that's being talked about, you can see it in the discord.
But there will be announcements coming soon on what plans look like.
Ryan is catching up on the tiny tacos.
The airdrops is something that's a priority for him,
or at least that's what he said on Saturday.
But those of you that know Ryan, well, you know Ryan, and he's Ryan,
and that's fine.
We accept him and love him for who he is.
But, yeah, more tiny tacos.
That's going to happen at some point as well.
I love them.
The tiny tacos are awesome.
And you get them for holding a taco or two.
Everyone loves a tiny taco.
It's funny because I almost made a taco collection with a buddy.
It was like a year and a half ago, maybe.
And he was like, bro, we've got to do this.
We're always doing like Taco Tuesday.
You're always cooking tacos.
Like, we should be the taco people.
I was just like, I don't know.
It's a funny idea.
Like, yeah, it's going to get easy adoption. But but like i got a lot of stuff i'm doing already but so yeah it's cool to see
little tacos out here i mean right it's being ryan's been building that brand in one way or
another for 11 years like it was a fully focused youtube channel like they they started i think
october 2021 as well, maybe November 2021.
And their collection says some point in 2022, I think, because they migrated it from a lazy min. I don't understand why that was ever called lazy min.
And it was far more work than doing it via an actual contract.
But it was lazy for the dev, maybe.
No, I don't know.
It's like the most strenuous piece of shit.
It's so annoying, man. I uploaded 1,600 DeFi space donkeys to OpenSea in 2021 because there was no bulk minting.
They got so nice these days.
We made a macro to do it at games. That's how much of a an effort it was like because we released our our collection
in in thousands i think the the zom's the third one before we put them on contract so it got really
yeah just just insane anyway point being um they're they're very nearly four years old they
will mint out but ryan's been building the brand for far longer and you know web3 related or not
he'll continue building the brand for as
long as he's Ryan which is uh what you want from someone who's trying to push something and uh do
something they enjoy um and also you know enable hopefully people to be sorted there is a post
up the top um actually before I get distracted amongst all of the posts from a week late. And it's the Taco Tribe book.
It's The Taco Who Found His Crunch. I have a copy, a copy, yeah, a copy on my coffee table.
Like that, that's complicated to say. My brain tried to run ahead of me. But yes, I have a copy
of The Taco Who Found His Crunch. And yeah, it's awesome it's awesome absolutely awesome i mean i don't think
i'm the age range it was aimed at but it's it's still an awesome book and i think it's about it
was it's probably about ten dollars ish give or take on amazon i think i i got it for about seven
pound so i reckon that's around ten dollars maybe a little less maybe a little more i don't know
it depends but yeah there's loads of other posts at the top.
FDK, when are races open till?
Are they shutting tonight, the registration?
They are shutting tonight.
I desperately need to register.
I might need some pearls.
I might need some pearls.
I might need to buy some pearls. I might need some pearls. I might need to buy some pearls.
I go through the banker Mandelbrot because it's easier for me.
Since Metamask has not been friendly with just swapping pole to pearl anymore,
I just buy in bulk from our pearl banker Mandelbrot because he holds like two million pearl i've got it set up as a as a favorite on quick swap yes quick swap also
definitely quick swap are awesome by the way and also um now on base as well. Like if it wasn't for quick swap and Umbria,
Polygon just wouldn't have happened in 2021.
OpenSea helped a little bit with Weth and that aspect of things.
Don't get me wrong.
So I shouldn't fully rule them out of the equation.
But those three platforms, without them,
Polygon wouldn't have had anything at all.
So, yeah, definitely show some love to QuickSwap.
Umbria are still doing things, not to the level of QuickSwap.
There's lots of ways that you can get involved with QuickSwap
and lots of ways that there are potential DeFi rewards.
And it's something that, you know, with Axion,
and maybe Metal will come up until there's a
live stream tomorrow at 3 p.m est uh on youtube with Axion um and the the next stages of of what
we're doing over there um full disclosure I'm on the the mastermind council and involved in some
of the decision making processes um but but uh with everything that's that's happening and us migrating to base um and
working in alongside a project that's already working with quick swap it's all rather exciting
and quick swap of you know they've hosted spaces for body gone for a long old time they've done a
lot of other things for for people people that we all know as well.
So, yeah, a little bit of love for QuickSwap.
And if DeFi is your thing, spend some time having a look at what they offer.
Well, and definitely some love for Axiom.
I have not been great this week. I'm not going to lie, but the last time I cracked open the laptop, I did get, uh, some,
some stuff done for, uh, campaigns, um, earned myself some, some entries.
So definitely recommend getting involved in what Axion is doing.
and getting involved in what Axion is doing.
Basically, you can do some daily tasks
or some long-term tasks
and get yourself eligible for tons and tons.
Well, in total, like over 50K USD.
And all you have to do is sometimes tweet something
or follow a couple different projects or different things.
And super easy.
I absolutely have loved them.
I wish I was more diligent.
It's going to become part of my daily to do eventually.
I win some money.
Why not?
Win some money for doing some simple simple x things and other things as
there was a meme competition happening and i know metal and i had a had a brief chat last night and
we were we were brainstorming um you know what else we can do uh over this campaign because
uh this first campaign will be running until we relaunch and then there'll be another
campaign following on from that which I can't remember what we're calling it
my brains a mess prism stop laughing at me and making me all self-conscious I
only hear cans every time you say campaign that's why you were laughing. That's why I'm laughing. That used to be a campaign.
A can-pain.
That's what they are, right?
I mean, you keep saying it, and I keep hearing can-pain.
I can't be a can.
Go get can.
I mean, come on.
Let's just go get can.
What's the big deal?
Like, why are you hesitating?
Just do it.
That's a campaign in and of itself, Prism.
You need to connect with Axiom, get a campaign campaign,
say that three times fast, and it benefits both of you.
So I think MidiPunks needs to be a campaign on a campaign.
I agree.
Is this how we get getting canned is a is its own definition on on
chat gpt i want to say hello to moonbeam i've got to get through these wins at some point but i'm
having a lot of fun like check the posts out i'm going to keep pointing you to all the posts at the
top but happy wednesday moonbeam thank you for joining thank you thank thank you. It's nice to be here. And camp, camp painting, camp painting, camp painting, camp beat painting.
So a little bit of context for you on that front, because I'm not sure if you're aware or not.
But MidiPunks have got a little app where you can go and put a pair of MidiPunks headphones on any picture.
And they're calling it getting canned. so that's that's the context behind that
and now prism's just like any opportunity to talk about it which i don't blame him because it's it's
fun and uh awesome and there's definitely a picture or two of me canned somewhere we need to have a
good camp a good campaign with the drinks the teas that i'm making um we could definitely put like
each individual uh, you know,
and do, like, a – I'm going to white label it anyway,
but that would be funny, like a – kind of like a missing persons thing on the can.
It's like a Web3 project.
That's a cool idea.
Like a missing tea.
You could do a missing tea instead of a missing person or a missing camp.
All right.
Yeah, that's cool.
Hide the headphones or the camps. But Moonbeam have you had any wins is there any wins for you that you'd like to share with us i've just been working
um i'm creating movies short animated themes i've just been working my little bums off my little
eyeballs got like black circles around the bottom i spend hours and hours in front of my computer so
i just been having fun i'll post some stuff down at the bottom but I spend hours and hours in front of my computer. I just didn't have fun. I'll post some stuff
down at the bottom, but I love what I do.
As a result, you won a bag of weed.
Really?
I'm not even checked. I got a new address.
Do you have my new address?
I already sent you one or maybe two, but you got another
one coming for that last animation you made.
I've got
hundreds for you.
I love it. I had seven days of unlimited
yeah i could tell three days
some of the animations didn't even make sense you could tell she's just trying to use credits
they were fun though i wanted them not to make sense that was my purpose is to throw your mind
out there down the rabbit hole and wonder like, why and how did that happen?
Why is this alien all of a sudden on a surfboard?
Exactly. He wanted to surf. That's the only thing. He wanted to wave. Give us a wave.
Like, why wouldn't there be an alien on the surfboard? That's the question that you should be asking.
He's hovering in space and then all of a sudden, boom, he's on a surfboard, he's on the waves.
It's such a funny transition.
He wanted to touch water instead of touch grass.
It sounds a little bit like the Colin 2D video with the song that we made as he moves from scene to scene.
He's just in a different scene, doing a different thing.
That's what happens.
We've got Extinct with us that I want to say hello to as well.
Moonbeam, share some animation.
I'll get it pinned at the top.
But Extinct, happy Wednesday.
Is this not a muting? Happy Wednesday.
I'm good.
How are you?
There we go.
Can you guys hear me now?
Yeah.
Yeah, I got that.
How are you?
I'm good.
But yeah, you're a bit robotic.
But you're clear now.
No, yeah.
X spaces doesn't work for me.
I have to put in like 20, 50 times for it to unmute.
Like, seriously, I can screen record this.
But shit, Wins.
Shit.
I've been just doing my thing in the studio.
Yeah, I've been... I was shelved for the longest.
So now I'm finally able to release music since August 8th.
And I've just been getting back with my team, with my publishing team.
And yeah, we're planning out a lot coming up.
But yeah, if you guys check out my pinned post, I went into the studio recently with a goal of three tracks to have them fully mixed and mastered.
Came out with seven.
So that was a good good outcome right there and yeah there's like a whole rollout plan and stuff and
yeah I can't really share too much of like what I'm doing I really want to but um yeah hopefully
you guys have a phantom wallet and you guys guys get some Solana, and you guys want to participate in DAOs per se, and be part of the music journey, and my growth as an artist.
So yeah, there's a lot of stuff coming that I can't fucking talk about that I want to.
But if you guys want to check out all the other wins like the thing with kami and chaos and
all that other shit like that's there too on a timeline but the main thing that i wanted to like
bring to everyone's attention is this thing that i'm doing with my music taking it from demo version
to fully polished mixed and mastered track um anyway that's that's enough word bombing for me i feel like i'm boring you guys
don't feel like that i know you're a middie punk i see you in the in the group and it's um i'm
excited that you've got back into the studio if that's something that you enjoyed doing and
like like maybe it was just this is about having fun and and pursuing like creativity what you're
enjoying so yeah that's that's the most important thing and um when's when stuff due to come out um i know you can't give specifics but can you give that rough
rough idea so right now i'm talking to people that know people that are gonna do a thing for
a system that's part of an engine um and then that engine that i'm building with my team and those exterior blockchain dApps that are being integrated as layers that are bridging two worlds together from the traditional music model and music NFTs and bridging them in a way that hasn't been done yet and hasn't existed yet until now.
And this is something that we've been missing since music has literally existed on chain.
Because it's like, we need to start looking at this more of a layer system than the end-all, be-all,
you know, answer and result when this is just a part of the machine that each one of us is making or creating.
Well, I'm more so speaking for myself here. you know everybody's here on their own journey but um yeah i don't want you
i don't want you to feel too much like that you don't want to and i can see why you're a midi
punk now i get it i get it like this is exactly like the similar sort of stuff to to what they
want to do isn't it making making this this this music much
more accessible to people it's not just about accessibility it's it's uh oh it's uh how do i
wear this it's all right man i'm gonna get i'm gonna get stuff out of people that don't want
to feel too much so like don't feel obliged by any stretch
stretch
I can't
you know go into
specifics but okay
so like
I've got time
for that
deliberately or accidentally I've got time for that. I've got time for that.
Deliberately or accidentally, I've got time for that.
You said I can't go into specifics, and then you muted yourself extinct. It was quite good.
Okay.
But no, to put it in plain...
We're merging two worlds together.
I didn't, I think, yeah, the signal went,
but I get where you're coming from.
I think we all do.
And it's like, this is what we're all trying to do in in whatever
way we're in this space isn't it like whatever we're involved with whether it's our own creativity
whether it's a project yeah it's a chain like we want to we want to make it work for people
yeah we're things that are bigger than ourselves things that are really gonna like
yeah you know what i mean like independent musicians are really gonna have some fucking power
that's that's that's yeah i'm gonna leave it right there i'm just gonna leave it right there
it's exactly that like before the the last bit i mean i can't speak to that i wish i wish
independent musicians all the power in the world like one of like jay is an independent band like with what they're doing with all hail hyena and like
how good they are and how many people like them and how hard it is for them to to get anything
because they're not you know signed to and they don't want to specifically sign up to a label
or whatever like that there's some challenges um and it's kind of what we're trying to do in in a way
for the defy as as a whole with action you know we're trying to legitimize is a strong word but
you know we want to we we're we're aiming to be regulated in utah um as a as an organization and
and we want to help people you know come into def5 through a a more traditional means almost sort of crossing that
bridge um like say trying to trying to do something for the the larger um rather than ourselves
individually but the beautiful thing about blockchain is that none of this shit is traditional
all of this is experimental it's brand new nobody knows shit about fuck we're the ones paving the fucking way so yeah independence for musicians this whole
bridging gap things this whole labels being owned by them like yeah it's not gonna last for long
it's a very old narrative and it's dying off yeah there's there's some challenge let the language slide because it was like that yeah i
know where that came from and it was it was it was worthwhile and relevant um but the challenge
the challenge with all of these things is and it doesn't matter what industry you're in like
some of those third party aspects we need and creators have found this out certainly artists
right you need someone to help with the sales at times so that's just where we're at if you want a business to grow you need a sales
team right like so it's but what's happened is these companies record labels in the music industry
many many other companies auction houses in the art industry you can think of a billion different
places they've grown so much power that they can control the dynamics.
And that's what needs to change.
So that's what's going to be fascinating is how we figure this picture out as we move forward.
Yeah, I mean, it's not really about a redirection of power per se or even eliminating them because they're still going to exist in some capacity of some shape or form.
to exist in some capacity of some shape or form. It might not look the way that it looks like now,
but they still own a very large amount of music catalogs by favorite artists from all around the
world, right? So they're going to use that music that's already popular, already well-known,
but eventually like the way this shit is going.
yeah,
it's artists are not going to even need all of that.
Like at all.
the marketing perspective and all of that.
Yeah,
I get,
but you know,
that's also like an individual business thing,
you know,
like by the end of the day,
even as artists,
as creatives,
as musicians, whatever, we're, we're a business technically, you know like by the end of the day even as artists as creatives as musicians
whatever we're we're a business technically you know right you know so it's like you know for
someone like me it's like emotions of of fucking expressing my fucking you know instead of cutting
myself i'm fucking laying it on a verse on on the fucking thing you know it's like you know instead of cutting myself i'm fucking laying it on a verse on the fucking thing
you know it's like you know and just whoever fucking relates to that relates to that but
again like that message can't be out there if there's no marketing team if there's no sales
if there's no like push because it's one thing to like express yourself and do all this stuff but
it's like you're not you know progressively putting out in front of people, doing shows, even like small businesses too, right? It's like it's the same thing.
You own a small restaurant, maybe you should, you know, go to a festival and serve like a feasible
meal or something that's easy to like do or whatever. But it's the fact of just getting
it out there and getting just being seen whether you're
liked unliked who cares it's just you know just getting it out there and whoever resonates with
it will resonate but um and if no one resonates if no one resonates you reiterate and go again
right like that's like the only way you get anything is by doing yeah or you go back to
your community and you hit the DAOs and all these other things
that are in place out here. And you figure other
more modern ways to do it in the thing
instead of relying on the old world model.
There's a balance.
There's a cross to be. There's a mixture's a there's a balance there's a cross to be there's a there's a there's a
mixture of of things to be found as we move forward and it's exciting to to explore and
try and work out what's going to work and what's not but I think VDK had her hand up extinct I
think she wanted to ask you a question
or not no sorry different screen taking a screenshot of my my my plushy narwhal thanks
to tricky no just today though and xc extinct it's not you it wasn't even tricky it was not
it honestly is like a week late and some weekly inside jokes we have.
I think we need a Polygon swear jar.
I'm going to set it up.
And then we're going to.
We do for tomorrow night's show, for Thursday night's show that we do.
And then I think we designate it as like a really cool thing.
Like, you know, every, every three months,
if there's a significant amount of swear jar donations,
we get to do something cool, like apply it to,
who is the project that's doing the cool, like tampon.
Polymators, like that kind of thing like you know every like two three times a year we take all of our swears we sell the nfts that are donated from
it or the the crypto and we find cool things to do with it i think that's worth a few F's.
Well, I mean, you might even swear if that's the case, VDK.
I will fucking swear.
It means.
Yeah, exactly. I will swear.
Occasionally.
With a purpose.
So that's what I raised my hand
for and I was laughing about it.
Now I'm going to get back to taking my stuffy normal pick.
That's high impact.
That's what that is.
That's why you don't swear often.
And we'll do it on Webby Social.
It'll be a goal.
We'll set it up as a goal.
Yeah.
Yeah, and we could buy a midi punk for back to the blockchain as well
oh we're just gonna we're just gonna drop that no one's gonna respond to that
no i was trying to get to the dang button it's like so far away when you're like posting replying
and listening oh my god so many things to do yes thank you yeah we wait so so how
does this uh swear jar work exactly um have we figured out the mechanics can you tell me the
requirements and no i won't it was just damn it you cannot participate unless you just want to
promote it prism because i think i would have a heart attack if I heard you swear.
And Princess Prism would not approve.
Oh, she's not here right now.
So, yeah.
And why is Songs of Eden not talking?
That's what I want to know.
Why are we not talking to Songs of Eden?
What's going on?
He's stupid.
He was doing like a church gig.
He got canned. He left us to do a gig and he's come back.
Like he's come back at a halftime show.
I think he went to pray. He was praying for some canning.
I was watching MasterChef
with the kids.
Did you do a church gig today?
Was that yesterday?
That was today.
What were you doing?
Were you back around for some hymns or were you doing something else?
It's like a mass.
So it's a gospel choir.
So I just played piano for them.
But it was fun.
It was fun.
That's pretty awesome.
Is it like, are you involved with their rehearsals or is this like, was this a production slash show?
Yeah, it's a production.
So it's the mass.
Is that the word? Mass, I guess.
The priest is talking for like five hours, it feels like,
and then you play a few songs, and then the priest talks for a few more hours, and then you play and you go home.
I bet that's how bands at weddings feel.
Like, for the love of God,
like you made me set up at like 10 a.m. in the morning,
like just let me play my songs and go home.
It's pretty calming, actually, and I like churches.
I'm not super religious myself, a little bit maybe,
but it's a nice environment for some reason,
and it's calm and relaxing. It's tricky here to extinct what happened oh my god and crypto hunter down
there billions fam is representing in wednesday space let's go so many awesome people have just
been hanging out listening to us um i am going to cycle through those wins i've been threatening to
do it we're 90 minutes in and i haven't done it at all so i'm going to run through them now from the beginning
to the end um very quickly you are going to have to dive into the post if you want more i'm still
scrolling obviously i haven't even got to the beginning yet like what am i doing to myself
i won't have any breath left by the end of it um the first two of this spaces you can ignore that
you should check out muriel and what she's doing.
She's always doing challenges, supporting and uplifting artists on this platform.
Check her out.
Then there's a post from Era.
She's animated adulting using Nano Banana and VO3,
and she shared the process so you can do the same thing.
She's very good at things like that.
There's also another post up the top with her doing MIDI punk stuff stuff um she made a video of me after i'd been midi shotted uh which is pretty awesome um maybe smile spoke about the spoke about the um taco that found his crunch already
uh but yeah check that out and keep an eye on taco tribe and what they're doing uh say the final the
final mint series section opening will
be happening they will mint out and that'll be it tacos will be done um not forever because you'll
be able to get them on secondary occasionally i imagine but there'll be no more to be minted ever
again linked by our super community um doing something with midi punks i don't know maybe
maybe we'll come back to that at the end.
But, you know, there's a post from Link by Art
saying stuff about the love song and MIDI punks.
I don't know.
Maybe you'll have to see more about it.
There are also billions with MIDI punks.
There's a post about that.
So the billions community,
lots of engagement on X at the moment
with what they're doing
and how they're trying to do decentralized ID verification, etc.
But in a way that's decentralized and doesn't put you at risk.
So they're an exciting project to look into. We're going to need stuff like that.
But yeah, getting that love song up to 400. That's the goal at the moment.
Billions are helping and I guess Linked by art are going to be helping as well there's the other post from era
um caffeinated beard bearded nft chef and he's just a he's just a positive guy on this platform
and we need more of him um in my opinion he's got a couple of poems up there with some pictures that
he's taken uh which are you know i like I like his poetry, I like his photography, but he supports artists
and his good morning posts. I mean, I'm kind of falling off the good morning game a little bit
myself. I post how many days I've been starting my day outside now instead. But his GM game is
quite funny and makes me smile. So yeah, check him out have a look at him lucia is awesome
um she's just been super supportive of a community at the moment and building her profile and uplifting
all of the people that are supporting her from an artistic perspective or from an art point of view
so definitely worth tapping into her she's always doing giveaways for artists and things like that
so just just an awesome person and you know when
she gets her own art back on the go you know and um are they tassies i can't remember uh but what
she's got going on hopefully she starts pushing some of that stuff again as well because that's
why she came to this space um webby there's a couple of posts up there their open call system
loads and loads of open calls for artists on webby. If you've got artist friends, make sure
you're sharing the platform with them. If you've got artist friends who aren't on the platform at
all, then you can get referral codes and stuff like that from the platform to push people there.
So do check out Webby. Do get the platform shared with your artist friends so that they can start
entering the different open calls. Dorothy, she's just revamped her website um and she shared a post about it and then paul
paul charles are just again these people are uplifting artists and who's who not only are
they they putting their own art out there on on chain on different chains they're uplifting the
people around them at the same time um very very supportive and and just bring smiles to my timeline um all of these people are in my timeline um
because i don't ever really use this platform to to look at political content i get lots of art
and lovely things um polyraiders vdk mentioned them earlier on they have just done uh i guess a a project or a collection to fund uh period packs
to young women um girls going through puberty in in nigeria um and uh it's just an awesome thing
that they're doing and for a dollar 50 roughly i think on on base um you can go and
support that project and get get some art that's been drawn by a kid colored in by a kid so uh you
might even get something from from a couple of artists that have got in involved as well so
check it out um and support a project that's having a real life impact in their local area
making a difference those young girls that get supported by this, young women,
they're going to remember it.
It's going to have an impact.
It's going to carry an impact.
So if you've got a couple of dollars kicking about in base,
that's something very useful you could do with that money.
Rainbow Mo Show, she's awesome.
She's just an absolute powerhouse.
Many people will have heard her speak in one form or another,
whether it's spaces, whether it's on stage at nftnyc whether it's one of the many other things that she gets involved in um but yeah there's a couple of posts um it's her mum talking
about uh how rainbow's been impacted on it on a news article um on video news tv TV news, not an actual written article.
And then a post from Rainbow and her mum just talking about some positive things.
We spoke about Axion briefly.
Well, I did.
And BDK did.
Thank you, BDK.
There's a post of the live stream at the top.
Coming on to the live stream tomorrow.
I'm sure there's a quest on Zeele around that live stream up the top, coming on to the live stream tomorrow. I'm sure there's a quest
on Zeely around that live stream too, so if you're going to come to the live stream,
you may as well jump on Zeely and check out that quest and potentially win some money for
supporting the live stream. Voice Notes Suck Series 3 is finally here, and I mean finally,
it's been one of those journeys over the last few months for both Jay and I with various different things interrupting this process.
But it's here. And I don't know when it will be on YouTube.
That's that's that's to be confirmed, not to be announced, Prism, to be confirmed.
We know it's happening. We just don't know when.
Whereas we had this conversation on Monday.
But yes, series series three is there
we're about to hit 500 listens on spotify we've had we've had over 100 hours listen time already
um just racking up those stats makes me smile and it's because of you it's because of our friends
and supporters and dare i say it fans so thank you very very much um want to keep pushing those followers want to keep pushing the
listens and and hopefully continue putting out content that people want to listen to
i wonder if we got a little bit stuck on ai in the second series but it's fine we were learning
this series like every episode is a different topic uh there'll be some crossover or some
similarities but every episode is a different topic that we think is related to modern life
in one form or another. The first episode which was out yesterday is The Influence of Influencers.
Last time I checked which was before this space we're at 498 listens so tonight maybe you can be
our 500th listener. I don't know how I'd ever know but I'd appreciate it very very much.
I don't know how I'd ever know, but I'd appreciate it very, very much.
Guth shared some billion stuff where I did.
Songs of Eden.
Metavixens.
If you've ever wanted to get into Metavixens and the price has been outside of your range for the last few months, year, 18 months, something like that, now's the time.
I assume there's still someone that's looking to liquidate, and not because
they're not in love with MetaVixens, but because they're looking to leave the space, I think.
The community will be open about it, but there's some affordable MetaVixens out there in comparison.
Be careful how I phrase that at 0.2 ETH. But Anna's awesome, and yeah, if you've been looking
at a lower price point to get a vixen
this is the time uh there's another post by linked by art there's the there's the races open post
from uvdk and then there's all of the other stuff that we've been talking about some posts from
extinct moonbeam uh tricky um your narwhal which you've shared on the top of that is awesome by the
way i do i do have time for that
it kind of looks like the thing that you could win on that would you call it a boardwalk but
like on the pier like it looks like one of those one of those kind of cuddly toys that you could
win in one of those kind of um cuddly toys such a pretty thing to say um yeah anyway I'm going to
shut up I've just been talking for 10 minutes about all of your wins
do check out those posts I even mentioned one of mine it's lots of exciting things and I like to
be able to have a more positive space where we can share like some of our successes some of the
successes of people we know and you guys make this possible just coming back listening doing
things being awesome so thank you very much for listening to me talk for 10 minutes about all of your wins.
And I feel very uncomfortable talking for that long.
Prism, you put your hand up, but you also want to jump into the stuff about Superlinked by Jib.
Oh, super.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Sorry.
Nope. Not going to talk about that. But i did have a question about webby social and what is the difference between the fire emoji and the heart
emoji when you're going through the home feed what is the difference i don't know i'm not sure
i just clicked both okay just wondering if anybody knew because i was clicking both no i think um i think the fire one
leads to trending so i think um i think it push i could be wrong you might need to double check
with a certain um creative owl but yeah i think if you click the fire one you push something to
whether it's trending or not and then i think that represents um i don't know if it represents
placement on the on the home page but it represents
a button that you get for having trending content it definitely does that okay a button thank you
dave is probably a thousand percent right and there's probably a reason for both i thought it
was because humans need more than one emoji so you either feel like i like this
but do i want to click it twice um that's kind of what i thought but i feel like
dave's explanation was better
i mean like create create is the kind of person that does something with a reason in mind. And like, you know, I have just used logic.
I do not know that for a fact,
but there is a trending content badge that you can earn on the platform.
And there is a fire emoji and things with fires,
like sometimes get pushed to the top.
So I don't know.
I'm just, I may well be putting two and two together and getting five or
six but i think i'm getting four okay so i'm gonna go to all the stuff i see right now and
i just hit the fire emoji and then we should see it trending right or do we all have to do it
i think i don't have one fire emoji you'll do it i'm not sure i'm not sure the algorithm's built
for for one fire emoji having a huge weight prism i don't know it's not my platform it's kind of like so on x let's say
you can like it but do you really want to repost it to your page like i kind of feel like that's
the purpose is you can give somebody a like but when you give them the additional fire you're like
this is hot like i would repost this to my page
vdk being stingy with a fire emojis i was like wow the fire like are you like the watering do
you have a watering hose out or something like you're preventing the fire yeah exactly right generally i think i give both most of the time like if it's a john post i'm
giving him both but sometimes when i'm like i don't even know who this person is but i liked
what they did like i just i don't know i think it's the human instinct to have multiple options and because we don't have a repost option on webby
um that secondary like you've clicked twice you've really said to this person like i love
your content i don't know i think it's a social
experience experiment i don't know
experience experiment i don't know
it's all the social experiment none of us know how this is going to end up but i liked your
like i didn't think of it that way but one is probably uh doing the trending so i need to
rethink things i just always gave it as like i love this post or I love this person.
They're going to get me to click twice.
If I just like the post and I don't know you, you're probably only getting one.
So to the context, and I've still not opened Webby app on my phone. I know that you can hook up a way to make it work,
like an app on your phone, even though it's still HTML page or whatever.
But the point being is posts on Webby have got two emojis
that you can click on them.
You can't reply.
There's no comments on Webby at the moment.
I don't know if there ever will be.
I hope there's not, but, you know, people will want what people want.
And if it's going to be why people use the platform, then, you know, you've got to make decisions that you've got to make if you're creative hours.
And I don't want to cast judgment on that. But I really like that it's a no comment platform.
I think I think that's one of the things that makes it work really well.
But, yeah, every post has got two buttons on it.
It's got a heart and it's got a fire button.
So that's what we're talking about.
And you can find out.
And, like I say, if you're an artist, hit the open call page.
Go check out the open calls.
Check out the F Council one whilst you're there.
I want to talk more about that, hopefully on Friday.
I want to talk more about that, hopefully on Friday.
I think Metal said there'd be a space on Friday.
I think Metal said there'd be spaces on Friday.
By then, we'll have caught up and I'll have hopefully formed some form of action plan.
If not, we'll focus Monday's spaces on it very, very much.
So Monday Matters will essentially be F Cancer 2025 spaces, I feel, if we don't talk about it on Friday.
spaces i feel um if we don't talk about it on friday so um yeah the reason we got stuck into
webby was because the open call for f cancer is on there whether you're doing awesome stuff
creative hours has been part of this this space is that that's coming up to four years old next
month creative hours has been part of this space is from the beginning as have many of you which
i appreciate very very much and uh thank you for still checking in with us.
But the point being is we've known this guy for a long time,
and he's built a platform that people are using, and it's exciting.
And you should check it out, especially if you're an artist
and you want to enter open calls and you're frustrated
at what happened with Hug and Join last year.
It's definitely worth looking at Webby's open call system um do you want to talk
about your narwhal at all baby can i'm sure you're just leaving it at the top for everyone to admire
i mean so i literally was like a five-year-old who saw her favorite character from a TV show. Except for me, I was raising in a TJX related store, which I know you
guys have in the States. So this was like a Marshall's. It's two minutes from my house.
I love to go there and just browse. I was with my kids and I lost it. Like I saw this and I was like, Oh my goodness. Oh my goodness. It's a pink
narwhal. It's a narwhal. It's a pink narwhal. And yeah, like actually, and if you can't tell by the
photo itself, like I love pink. Like that is not, there is no lie behind the VDK brand. I love pink like that is not there is no lie behind the VDK brand I love pink um
so I bought not one but two unfortunately it didn't get shipped out last year but
I have one in a box and it's actually for one of my like oldest friends in ORL for his daughter. And it's going out this, this fall for her
Christmas present. So I'm super excited. It's still like in original packaging. Um, but yeah,
I love narwhals. My first like captain back in the day when we had like much smaller, uh,
captain back in the day when we had like much smaller uh assortments of creatures and things
like that my main uh team was built around the pink narwhal and my my go-to captain is
racer number 196 which is a pink elephant on a pink narwhal and yeah I I'm obsessed and I don't care that I'm 40 years old
and I have a stuffed animal I am proud of this
I still I they don't they don't spend any time on my my bed anymore um but I still have like
but I do sometimes like sit with it in my lap while I'm in therapy.
Like it's still a comfort creature.
But no, it's not on my bed.
No, no judgment.
When I had Colin for a couple of weeks, like Colin wasn't on my bed.
But, you know, he was sitting on the mantelpiece overlooking me whilst I was working every day like above my left hand shoulder like it's you know it's definitely very much a part
of my life for the couple of weeks that he was okay having Colin in my life for a week is a life
goal it is on my my bucket list um and he will be doing everything with me he will go shopping with
me he will be in the car uh which i don't even go in cars that
often because i don't like driving um but he's going to be in every room he's going to can with me
or jar if you're from the uk he's gonna jar with me he's gonna make it strawberry jam
anyways yeah i i'm all for the call experience. I think that's the coolest thing ever.
I think, so the one that did the worldwide trip got donated to Vance and her kids.
So Colin has found his forever home over there.
I love that.
I do.
We have, I mean, he was, well, when it was like,
Jay's mum's made three, two with a rucksack, one without.
And when I saw one that hadn't travelled the world
compared to the one that I'd had that had been loved and gone places
and like there was a discernible difference.
He wasn't tattered like the one that i had but he
was definitely definitely used and i mean that in the nicest of ways like you could tell that
he'd been loved on his round the world journey like 100 and like the it's just incredible that
we've been able to capture that level of imagination without any real budget like
when we get some investment like the the squibbles is
going to take over the the children's broadcasting market like it's it's going to happen it just will
um we just need to get some investment first which is also going to happen a thousand percent
like i remember and this is like going back so so I feel like this is like two years ago even.
I remember Raina just talking up a storm in spaces and talking about how excited she was
that Colin was en route because she's got kids.
She's obviously like big on the Polygon community and like child-friendly uh projects and just she was over
the moon that colin was coming like i remember those spaces so well ellie ellie made up her
doll's house for for colin so like she prepared a doll's house and made him a bed and it was
yeah i i got colin after to rainer and it was about two years
ago to the day that i that i had colin um so uh yeah you're very very correct on those time frames
vdk uh but yes i'm going to suggest it to to jay again that we uh that we put out um or we ask his
mum to to make another colin maybe dress differently and get get
colin sent all over the world because it was such a wonderful thing to say there's a photo booker
like a scrapbook of all of the photos online you can see all the places he visited with all of the
people it's it's insane he had his own instagram or still got his own instagram account and stuff
like that like it's just anyway yeah colin's awesome um we've got metal up here but but before
we go to metal um you said you have some updates for orl bdk and i want to get them in before we
have to run away so i did you want to share them now i mean today oh that's today um don't forget
to register i haven't done so yet dave oh I'm looking at a chat with more people in. Yeah, okay.
So we need to register.
We are about the halfway point of the season,
which means we're coming up on a tiny break.
We are going to take like a week or two off after this season,
and that is to get ready to launch the new coach. We're doing something with the current coaches in Elite League and then we're going to go into Vet League. So some cool things
coming and right around that time too we're going to have our fall regatta so it's going to be a busy fall
yes yes it is going to be a busy a busy fall um for for you guys and for other things as well
um i've just found it i've just found the webby channel in discord which i've forgotten all about
god damn discord vdk um so yeah uh and again which is why i was like you've
got updates what are you chatting about i thought i'd already gone to you but no that's for tomorrow
night's blockchain banter space is at 4 p.m est with a week late you should be there i'm sure he
hasn't shared the link already but you should be there you follow me or vdk our accounts will be
in it i'm gonna go around the room well actually no, I'm not going to go to Metal because I said I'd do that.
Jumping up right at the end, Metal.
Happy Wednesday.
We did some sharing for you.
I don't know if you heard.
Oh, I've been listening the whole time.
And, yeah, all I did was just to come up and say hi.
I promise I am not long-winded today.
Getting ready to head down to Vegas to hang out with David Stanley.
And feeling like a dog because everything's been last minute and I never connected with John cause I've really wanted
to meet him down there, but it'll happen someday. Um, but no, I've, uh, in fact, I was just now,
um, I just logged into, uh, ocean racing league and I'm getting my team ready for tomorrow because
I missed last week and i was
so mad um but yeah we got a live stream tomorrow we've got a couple of uh really good new quests
up and and here's the thing if you're brand new to doing these quests you're going to come in and
there's going to be about seven or eight quests for you to do to get you kind of kicked off on
on uh getting engaged with everything that's going on. So
if you go to the Axiom DAO PFP down in the audience and you check out the link to our
Zeely campaign, you can start going through the Zeely campaign. We've got one campaign out right
now that has a total of $700 that we're giving away just in one campaign. So there's a lot. And so there's a lot of, a lot of small winners, a lot of medium winners,
and a couple of big winners, two or three big winners, actually. So yeah, just looking forward
to spending the day, the afternoon with my boys heading down to Vegas to hang out with David
Stanley and do some collaborating. But yeah, it's been good just to hang out with David Stanley and do some collaborating.
But, yeah, it's been good just to hang out and listen.
Well, thank you for supporting.
I appreciate it.
I appreciate anyone that listens.
And I'm just going to use this as an opportunity to say if you enjoy listening to me rather than coming up and talking.
And I've got a podcast you can listen to that's got like 500 listens
and over 100 hours of listen time on Spotify.
Just saying.
Voice notes are up.
But no, Metal, thank you for hanging out.
Thank you for listening.
And excited for the live stream tomorrow as well.
I think I'll be able to make it.
I think.
I think.
It's like right after our weekly Squibbles meeting.
And I don't...
It's happening tomorrow,
but I'm going to remember to end it on time this week
rather than let it run on like it did last week.
But we hadn't met for a couple of weeks
and there was a couple of other things that needed discussing.
So, yeah, should be there on time or very close to,
but probably not before.
Songs, any final words from yourself before I go to prison?
I would say I like Extinct's new PFP, but he dips out.
And I'm happy to see Jigsaw down there, so let's go.
And the third thing, I always thought Cylantrax and Extinct was the same person
because they sound exactly the same
but seeing both
PFPs in the same
space I guess it's possible
but I think
they are not the same person
yeah
I've known Cyl since the beginning
of time
in this space since the 2021 era.
So, yeah, that's totally a different person.
But I agree that they kind of sound the same, or is that only me?
I can hear the similarities.
I think, yeah, now that you've said it,
I wouldn't have clocked it until you said it, those songs.
I think it took that.
But yes, love song.
How many people?
I know you're aiming for 400, 420,
but how many people so far?
I would say 160 around 160 between the thumb and the index finger as we say in swedish
in in that region in that region um no that's it no it's good it's positive and like the response
you've had from billions has been awesome and i know you're you're chatting to a couple of other
communities about uh how to to
onboard them as well so you know fingers crossed that that that tbc prism happens uh sooner right
oh sorry i'll just before i go to you prism i'm just going to let you sort of close us out and
you can choose to play some music or not it's entirely up to you um but vdk is there anything
else from you i did i should really ask rather than just assuming that you've got nothing else to say.
I have a million things to say, but we're closing down.
It's 3.59.
You and I are going to have a call that we should have had yesterday
and two days before that and a week before that.
Yeah, I was going to say, at least a week ago.
Dave and I need to connect.
We're going to talk F cancer and all things ketchup.
Also ketchup because that's a great condiment, but you know,
but that's my updates.
No mustard.
Only ketchup.
You know what?
Mustard is my favorite condiment as of like the last few years
we can argue this another day
ketchup versus mustard but
I think that's a great debate
you know what a
dad hot dog is
only mustard
and see if I was
told here's a hot dog you can have
one condiment mustard would be
amen If I was told, here's a hot dog, you can have one condiment, mustard would be it.
Amen.
Yes, thank you. It's the most versatile condiment, and if you haven't seen that TikToker, you are missing out.
I like mustard and relish.
You've got to have mustard and relish together.
That's how it works.
It's all like, if we're doing it properly,
it's all about some sort of honey and mustard glaze
on some kind of slow-cooked meat that is probably not chicken.
But, like, yeah, mustard is awesome.
I am a fan of mustard.
Metal just took it from dad hot dog to grandpa hot dog in one, two seconds.
Hey, wait a minute.
No, no.
That's playing dirty.
I think grandpa hot dog is the relish.
I don't know.
I don't do relish.
I'm not a granddad.
It's kind of like a sort of more chopped up salsa, really, isn't it?
Yeah, it is.
Chopped up pickles and onions and some seasoning and stuff.
But yeah, it's just pickles and onions.
I mean, how did we get to like, I don't know, burger sauce or Thousand Island dressing?
This is the subject for next week.
We'll do a poll.
We'll have conversations if you
come up you're gonna have to say ketchup or mustard as your number one it's gonna happen
probably next wednesday all right well maybe maybe or or i'll talk about a honey and mustard
slow-cooked ham but you know like these things are fine these things are good like i do we should
do a cooking space. We probably should.
We just, you know, share our favorite recipes or whatever.
But we're getting to the end.
Tricky, you've jumped back on.
And I'm going to like Prism let you come back up because, you know,
he doesn't like me and he doesn't want me to close his spaces down.
But, you know, here we are.
It's Tricky Buddha from the Pie Space Donkeys.
Powered by We weed on Solana.
Get yourself a bag of weed.
I just had to come in and do that.
That's all.
We all doing good.
No, it's all good.
It's all good.
I've got time for that.
I do like the kind of weird audio output you get from that.
Yeah, the double account there.
I was going to say something. That was a while back,
so I kind of forgot what I was going to say.
Much love. Good space.
I'll have a space a little bit later,
so if you guys want to pop in, feel free.
Just my normal AMA space there to help.
Do it. Go show some love to Tricky.
If I'm still awake, I will do it. It's 9pm.
If I've got the mental
acuity for it and i'm still up
tricky i will i will pop along but i probably won't come up on stage it is 10 for you right
like 9 10 for you so yeah it's just gone nine so if you're doing it in like three hours not a chance
if you're doing it in about 45 minutes an hour yeah maybe it starts in 18 minutes i can come
chuck my pfp and whilst i'm chatting to VDK, if nothing else.
Prism, we're going to get to you, and then we're going to close these spaces down.
I don't... Wait a second.
Let me finish.
I can never tell when you're finished.
I'm going to get better.
What?
Did you finish?
No, not quite.
Like, nearly.
Maybe. I'm going to get better at saying your name at the end, because I understand where this Did you finish? No, no, not quite. Nearly, maybe.
I'm going to get better at saying your name at the end
because I understand where this relationship is going
and what you need, and I can react to that.
I'm not going to be perfect, I warn you.
I was going to say something, and I can't remember what it was.
It was going to be nice as well.
You ruined it.
You ruined it, Prism.
I think you wanted to ask Ziggy something, right?
Ziggy, ask M3 to play Engagement Farmer.
That's what you wanted, right?
Oh, no.
