A
Hey, Chip, I think we're watching one of the biggest shifts that we've ever seen for XRP in years now. Seriously, for years, the criticism has been the same. XRP just sitting there. It moves money. That's it. That's been the big talk. Now all of a sudden we're talking about XRP as collateral. XRP and lending strategies, XRP and vaults, XRP generating yield rlusd exploding, institutional defi showing up everywhere. This is just not the same conversation anymore.
- [00:37]
B
No, I don't think so. And I think what's crazy is it didn't really happen because of one announcement. It's happening because really everything we've witnessed in 2026, kind of all the pieces are starting to come together sort of at the same time. Like, if you think about it on this side, you have flare. You've got XRP fi RL USD, then you have the XRP ledger expanding and exploding. Then suddenly XRP is being talked about as an asset that can actually work inside of a financial system instead of simply moving through one. And I think that's probably one of the key big differences there.
- [01:08]
A
Exactly. And on today's video, we've actually got Hugo Filing talking about XRP being used as collateral. We've been talking about some of his comments over the past week or so. And we keep plugging the flare because there's a lot of growth happening with flair. Now we've got RL USD pushing towards another major milestone. I don't know how many milestones they can keep putting up. They're just stacking, keep going, stacking, stacking. Ripple giving us a rare look at the AI Red team protecting the XI XRP ledger. And the state of XRP report is out. So we're going to look at that, see what's going on. And while all those good things are happening, SUI just gave the entire crypto industry an actual reminder that not every blockchain is ready for prime time.
- [01:58]
B
Yeah. Plus we've got some crypto markets getting smacked around by geopolitics, ETF demand cooling off. Caitlin Long, if you remember, heard her fight and her battle with the Fed just went to the next level. And Jamie Dimon back in the headlines. And somehow just. I don't know, Jeff. Somehow he is going to fight the Clarity act. Good luck with that, pal. Legacy always loses and history proves it. Go ahead and ask Blockbuster how that went. Vanilla Ice, believe it or not, Ice, ice, baby. He's trending again, Jeff.
- [02:30]
A
That's right. Now Vanilla Ice and XRP are both back at the same time, 2026 is officially off the rails, maybe even off the chain.
- [02:41]
B
You ready for this, Jeff?
- [02:42]
A
I'm ready.
- [02:43]
B
You sure? Let's go. Welcome to on the Ch.
- [02:50]
C
Foreign.
- [02:54]
A
Welcome to on the Chain. This is Jeff here with co host Chip. What's going on? Chip? What's going on? OTC chip.
- [03:03]
B
Bam. OTC fam.
- [03:05]
A
And we've got a pack show talked about it. XRP flare Ariel USD institutional DeFi ripple's AI security initiative. Imagine you got. You need an AI security team. That's important. The SUI outage, crypto, ETFs. Caitlin Long, Jamie Dimon, Texas politics and some absolutely ridiculous memes. That's right.
- [03:30]
B
Keeps jumping out at me. Is this Jeff? For years everybody was asking what could XRP become. Now we're starting to see exactly what XRP can do. So the big ones are collateral lending vaults yield and if the trend continues, could completely change how the market thinks about xrp. I think we've seen that show up big time in the ETFs. So if you guys are already out there, I think we should just jump right into it. Don't forget to put down where you're coming in from. Always like to see where people are coming in from what part of the world. And of course Chad, first one to report. Greetings from celebration. Big ups from the uk. We love the uk. We, we, we really want you guys to succeed. I think there's, I think there's a good shot. You guys may. Because you're not sitting around anymore. You guys are standing up and you're not laying back and that's what is necessary and needed over there. Jeff, we can't have any more complacency. Complacency does not work. It's not a good look.
- [04:28]
A
Time to change it. We're going to mucka. Imagine that. Make the UK great again.
- [04:36]
B
Was it Luca or Maka Makamuka make the UK great again. The G in there great again.
- [04:46]
A
That's right.
- [04:47]
B
We have to come up with other. I saw Trump posted about Armenia. He said maga. He said make Armenia great again. So it kind of still works, you know, if it's Armenia or America, it kind of works at the same way. But this is interesting too. So this XRP ledger posted about this. The new XRP report is available.
- [05:07]
A
Yeah.
- [05:08]
B
Yeah, beautiful. Love that. The XRP ledger accelerating value capture from stable coins, real world assets and ETFs all enabled by XRP issue token integration across the industry. XRPL got an enhanced with AI formal verification prep and quantum readiness. And it's good that you got the team thinking about quantum readiness. You know, quantum readiness is a big issue when it comes to blockchain. I know some of the bitcoin people are freaking out a little bit. They don't want to all of a sudden lose their bitcoin overnight. This is put out by messari. Masari does a good report despite the guy who runs the messari not liking XRP too much and blocked me for years. I've been blocked for like six years now
- [05:51]
A
writing about the xrp. Look at that.
- [05:53]
B
Yeah. But they do get, they do do put it. Always put out an excellent quarterly report on XRP. So XRP's utility continues to grow as XRPL's feature set expands, especially with institutional defi use cases with talking about things like the real world assets, your stable coins and decentralized liquidity. So quarter over quarter metrics. And I think this is kind of like the key point. The report's excellent if you really want to drill down on numbers. But this is it right here. The U. S spot ETF holdings, 2% to 775 and a half million XRP, that's 11 0.3% of the circulating supply. Then you've got the RL USD market cap on XRPL, that's 45% went up 45% to 340 million. Then the real world asset market cap on xrpl, that's up as well. That's 124% to 2.25 billion. Now it's number four among all networks, which is impressive. Now if you think about these stats, Jeff, it's like, oh, this is impressive. This is quarter over quarter. So what they're comparing here is Q1 of 2026 to Q4 of 2025. You're talking about basically from start to finish six months. But from one quarter finishing to another, we're talking about six months, three and three. These are impressive stats. 45% is a big one. 124 on the Real World assets. You've seen a lot of starting to take a lot of hold there. And then you got the average daily transactions, they're also up 35% up to 2.4. This would be impressive year over year and it might even be impressive every other year. But for quarter over quarter, it's a good thing to see. They go on to say that ongoing implementation of identity compliance and privacy features also driving value to xrp. As increased institutional adoption on the XRPL means more adoption or more Operations using xrp reserve requirement, transaction fees, asset bridging, etc. And here's a chart right there, Right there. You can see the spot ETFs are up.
- [07:49]
A
Look at that, the gray GXRP.
- [07:52]
B
Look at that. Whoa. But look, look at this. From November just started right around, right around 100 million. You can see it gradually kind of peaking. It's kind of like it's kind of been a little bit stable since January. But you know, you've seen some peaks and valleys. But again, still go up, but still pretty good.
- [08:09]
A
Everything's been having just volume. Yeah, we're seeing such a momentum across the board and when we get into flare, we're going to see some momentum there with the volume as well. So a lot of new development, new money coming into the space. Obviously need a lot more push. But maybe people have been even sitting on the sidelines. Could be old crypto money investment that's just been sitting, waiting and now it's being injected or being moved around into these different assets. But a lot of excitement. And then we're going to hear from Hugo. You know, we're going to hear some more excitement. But we got man. St. Lucia. Beautiful.
- [08:49]
B
Mike. Mike. Mike is in St. Lucia. Look at that. St. Lucia on vacation. He still makes time to catch check in with the OTC fam. Always appreciate that. As a Ford says. I had a bit of FOMO with xlm but H bar has been pumping so I'm okay now. It's so funny. I was looking at XLM and all the pump, right? So the pump went to 20 cents. That's the pump. No, I think all time high for XLM is like 86 or 87 cents. Don't quote me on it, but it's under a dollar all time high. I don't know. There's no FOMO for me, man. I in the funny part sitting at 25 cents.
- [09:25]
A
25 cents.
- [09:26]
B
But look at the, look at, look at the chart, Jeff. It's like it looks really deceiving because it's been so artificially low for a long time. I, I, I, I just never really understood why XLM never had a nice run. Like they never hit $2 or $3. What was funny to me was their CEO or their whatever Danelle, whatever her name, whatever she, her title is. But she was going on and talking about how they were built for institution and built for that. Jeff McCaleb left Ripple because he wanted to target the consumer side. That was the whole split and they wanted to go institutional and he's like, screw this. And now you can see that there's really. Listen, man, you always go where the money is, right? And so dtcc, which is the settlement. And again, Ripple's all also involved with DTCC and everyone's flipping out like this is some big thing. Well, guess what? DTCC is going to use hundreds of different solution partners. You know, it's not going to just be one. It's not like we got the contract. I still don't think it's going to change the price much. So I mean it did here because a lot of FOMO and stuff and they haven't really had a run. But look at that. Chad says no foam or foot here. The DTC will use multiple L1s and L2s. Exactly. Dude, I didn't even see your comment, but you're exactly 100 spot on there.
- [10:46]
A
Bruce Lee's brother. Boring brothers. Come on.
- [10:49]
B
Boring brothers.
- [10:51]
A
Bruce Lee loves coming in. He's always here.
- [10:53]
B
Hey, we're not boring. And well, meanwhile, it might be a
- [10:55]
A
little boring, but Bruce Lee's always here though, so.
- [10:58]
B
But we're not. We're not, brother. The boring brothers.
- [11:00]
A
You gotta love the commentary's brother ever comes.
- [11:03]
B
I have to tell you some of the best comments of the negative ones. Jeff and I have a. We laugh because sometimes they're pretty accurate. That's okay. Yeah. Ripple X put this out. Can xrpb. Well, that's because we're not telling you. XRP is going to moon like those, like those douchebags out there. The biggest douchebag I can think of. But I don't want to name names here. But he's always going on like if he's been wrong for three, five, four, five, six years straight, but he's like, no, no, no. End of year it's going end of this year and it's talking. It's not like $50, a hundred dollars? No, thousands. Can it go 9,000 or $10,000? I'm like, dude, really? But don't worry, that guy gets plenty of viewers, plenty of backing. Even though he's been exposed as a fraud, Even though he's got multiple run ins with the law. But that's cool. As long as he's preaching to you and you want to. You get what you want to hear. So can XRP be using strategies involving lending and vaults? Absolutely. So Hugo Fillian from Flare breaks down how XRP can be used as collateral to access yield strategies. And that includes wrapping XRP as FXRP on flare networks, borrowing stable coins against it, and then Deploying those assets into other protocols alongside vault based strategies that XRPL and Flare. Guess who makes an appearance on XRP in a minute? No, other than Hugo Fillion.
- [12:18]
D
Here he is breaking down the entire product stack that we've built on. How XRP gets yield is pretty tricky to do in one minute. My name is Hugo Fillian and this is xrp. In one minute. Can XRP generate yield?
- [12:34]
B
Yes.
- [12:35]
D
The short answer is absolutely yes. And then the longer question is how does it generate yield? Well, Flare's mission has been to turn XRP into a collateral asset rather than just a transaction payment asset where it's used on the XRP ledger. So you can take your XRP and you can move it to Flare, which then as wrapped xrp. In fact, fxrp, this allows you to then put it in a number of different lending protocols where you can borrow stablecoins against that and then deploy those stablecoins into other protocols where you can get yield. So by taking your XRP and turning it into a collateral asset, you can then get yield through borrowing and then relending out those dollars. There's a second way to do it which is more centralized. Flare has pioneered the decentralized way. And that way is to put your XRP into a vault, either on XRP ledger or soon on Flare, which then allows a counterparty to take that XRP and take it to a financial intermediary who can then deploy that into markets and get yield that way.
- [13:34]
A
Let's get some yield.
- [13:36]
B
I have to say, listen, out of all the people I've ever seen do the XRP minute, there's no bumbling, there's no stumbling. It was on point, it didn't feel rushed. I gotta tell you, Hugo's a pro at that. It's tough. You know, Jeff, if you're trying to, like we were sitting there trying to get, say something inside of a minute now, it's hard to do, right? It's, it's difficult. You'd screw up, you get through it. The reason we love doing live videos, every time I would do a recorded video, I'd restart it several times because I'd screwed up six or seven times. And I'd be like, oh, damn, here, you just roll with it. If you say something stupid, so what? But also too, you don't have anybody to play off when you're doing it by yourself. Jeff's smiling at somebody. It's either his wife or his son. I can't tell which. Your wife, your wife gave that to you or no, see, you can see the big smile and sees his wife and he lights up like a Christmas tree. It's fantastic. He's off smiling in the distance. I was like, it's either going to be two. One of two people popping in, right? Beautiful. She just brought some coffee. Yeah, she locked it down so hard you can't open Oslops.
- [14:35]
A
I can't open it.
- [14:37]
B
You can't get it open? She doesn't know her own strength.
- [14:40]
A
Exactly. Plus it's locked from seals because of the heat, so it makes it worse.
- [14:45]
B
Oh, Jeff, come on, man.
- [14:47]
A
Now what am I gonna do? I have no coffee.
- [14:49]
B
Come on, dude, you can do it.
- [14:50]
A
It's slippery.
- [14:52]
B
You know, you gotta get like a towel, one of those grippers or something to open that puppy up. You need a gripper. So I like that was. That was a good thing with you still can't get it open. Oh, you got it.
- [15:04]
A
I need a gripper. It's not opening.
- [15:08]
B
Those grippers are good. Well, this is something we talked about a little bit ago. This is Mayuka Vidari. She is one of the senior developers over there. I see her official titles. She's a staff software engineer over at Ripple xdev Programmability. She's former MIT Seattle sports fan, blah, blah, blah. Views my own. Well, I don't know whose views they might be. I mean, my views are always my own anyway. Unless you are one of these XRP nut jobs that follows these weird influencers, then you're. Then you're totally into it.
- [15:39]
A
Look at that. I got it.
- [15:41]
B
Yeah, look at you. Proud of you, Jeff. You gotta have your wife open. I see. I saw you hand it to her off screen. She opened it for you. So Mayuka says we're two months into our AI Red Team effort for the XRP ledger. Here's a real look at what we're doing, the tools we use, the bugs we fixed, and what we've learned so far. And of course, Mayuka offered the. Authored this particular one here. And then she goes on to kind of talk about it. We're not going to go through everything but just the fact that this team exists. They talk about the challenge, the security at scale. Since it's been running continuously since 2012. Process over 3 billion transaction track record. Something to be proud of. It's never gone down. We've seen Solana go down. Now we're going to talk a little bit about Sui going down. A lot of times too, when you run on, what would you say?
- [16:30]
A
A lot of times his platforms go down in the bad way. You Know, it's, it's complex. Think about when an exchange goes down too. Like when Coin, Coinbase would go down. When everyone's, you know, when there's a run on, on a sale selling people
- [16:45]
B
are trying to get, trying to get it out. So she talks a little bit about that. The multi layered pipeline that the red team's combining several compliance complementary techniques catching different classes of bugs. They have developed some AI bug finding agents. This is the core of what they're doing. This is the custom AI pipelines that really analyze the ripple code base, XRPL client SDKs and Clio. And it runs these agents against feature branches, release candidates in the main code base and continual basis always looking to catch stuff. The cool thing about AI that is very difficult for humans to do is that it can rip through code pretty fast. It can compare code. It can also find dependencies which is sometimes when you work in the software world as long as I have, you go ahead and deploy a new feature but you broke two other ones. Those are the dependencies where you remove some piece of code somewhere else. Something's relying on that. And so a lot of this is what AI is really good at. Depth first they use depth first and AI powered vulnerability discovery platform does deep scans of the repositories. While the custom pipelines are purpose built around XRPL specific semantics Antithesis fault injection testing they use antithesis continuous fault injection platform to run rippled under adversarial conditions. External security research intake. They also have a bug bounty program. So when you find a bug I think you get some compensation or some kind of reward for that. Got your PR review bots from bug fix. What's up?
- [18:16]
A
Good way to pay out, you know, if they have a bug fix program. Because if you're running a node on the xrpl it's not like you're mining or anything. You're not generating revenue specifically. But if they can have a bug program or if there's solution built in. I think it was one of the proposals once they have people earn when you're running a node.
- [18:37]
B
Yeah, that was one of. Yeah. Because the best reward is no reward. I was like the whole thing is
- [18:41]
A
like I love the no reward part.
- [18:43]
B
Yeah, well the, the, the worst reward is you come out of pocket pretty heavily to be able to run a node. Right. So you got server infrastructure. Not to mention every time there's an update which pretty happens pretty frequently. Sometimes they're once or twice a month and you got to update your node. Right. So and of course zao DAO runs its own node as well. So they talk about the life cycle discovery on pipelines, deduplication before finally cross check all this stuff, this AI assisted triage, all this stuff that they're doing and they're being very public about it, which I think is really core because a lot of times, like when I looked for the sui, you know, I think, I believe heavily in sui. I'm a big SUI fan. I believe that is, you know, it's an all time low. It's been over $5, right. So I think last time I checked it was one something. So I mean if it's all time, 5's been over $5, you know, you're probably gonna 5x at some point. So. But just having this in place, I couldn't really find out what was the demise of what happened with sui. But a lot of times they run on, you know like S3 or they run on like the Amazon servers or, or Google and you got some big outage, it can take down your whole thing. So there. So as much as we like to think about decentralization, we still have to deal with centralization. Right? You're still using some kind of a partner. And if you think about even Ripple here and what they're doing, they still have, they have, they're using all these, these industrials type tools to be able to assist them. In other words, they're not going out writing special things, they're spending their time looking and fixing and using some off the shelf stuff. And a lot of this stuff too. It just kind of gets into some of the big things. But this is what they fixed. And I love the fact that it's so super transparent on what they've actually done, what they learned.
- [20:29]
A
I like that. Yeah, if you, if you fix but don't learn, then you're gonna repeat. So I like how they document that. Hey, we can hear your dog barking in the background.
- [20:38]
B
That's because I don't have CRISP installed. Ah, he's going nuts about something. I don't know what he's going. My CRISP is messed up, dude. I don't know what happened.
- [20:48]
A
They had an update.
- [20:49]
B
Oh, the garbage. The garbage guys.
- [20:51]
A
A couple updates. They had multiple updates back to back. So I think they broke something then tried to fix something.
- [20:58]
B
No, they definitely broke something. They definitely broke something because everything's effed on my computer and before my mic wasn't even working and it was, you know. And the problem is I can't figure out what the issue is. I don't Even know what's broken. Right. So to even fix it. So that's the other sort of problem with it.
- [21:15]
A
Yep.
- [21:16]
B
I don't even think Crisp is running now. That might be the other problem, because you know what? I didn't see it available.
- [21:21]
A
Yeah, it did an update and it. It was gone from my taskbar today.
- [21:27]
B
You know what, dude? Yeah, it's gone.
- [21:30]
A
Yep.
- [21:30]
B
You know what, dude? You're right. It's gone from my taskbar.
- [21:33]
A
None of my audio is working at all. You know, and I. I checked.
- [21:37]
B
That's the problem. Okay, I see. I see what you're saying. Yeah. Because, like, it's not even showing up at all in my. Okay, so now it's on there. So let me try to do not select it in Google Chrome. See, this is. This is messed up. Let me see if I can. Because that's. That was one of the things that was killing my. My microphone. Like, I couldn't figure out what it was. So. Okay, tell me if my mic changed. It changed a little bit. Same. Do you guys? Tell me. All right, thank you, Charles. Charles, Tell me if it changed because I put on Crisp now.
- [22:12]
A
Sound good? I think something changed in the background.
- [22:15]
B
Well, it's kind of a combination of things. First of all, I put in a new dongle. I got a brand new dongle. That. That. Which I have a bunch because I have so many things connected to my. My MacBook. And. And I put that in. And what was weird was the red box wasn't showing up on there, so I had to unplug, replug it in, reconnect it, and now it was never showing up in Crisp. So that's why Chris was using some alternate mic, and that's why my microphone sounded horrible.
- [22:45]
A
Ah. So. And it was hard to track that down.
- [22:48]
B
Well, Scarlet wasn't showing up in there. Now Scarlett is now I select Crisp here and now. So that was part of the problem.
- [22:55]
A
Yeah.
- [22:56]
B
So finally. And then ji.
- [22:58]
A
Get rid of. Cancel others noise. You can cancel your own noise, but if you cancel other people's noise, it doesn't allow you to hear videos and playback in streamyard.
- [23:07]
B
Oh, great. Another. Another thing which is good for meetings but not necessarily good for anything. Sounded better before when you.
- [23:14]
A
Now you can send a Chris bot.
- [23:16]
B
All right, so you say it does. It sounds. It sounded better before, is what you're saying. Let me see if I put it back. And let's see. Because I put it on. Hang on. Let me check my Crisp setting here.
- [23:27]
A
Yeah, go to Crisp.
- [23:29]
B
Yeah. Chris, microphone. What Do I have cancel my noise? Cancel my noise?
- [23:33]
A
Yeah, just cancel yours. Get rid of. Cancel others noise.
- [23:36]
B
Yeah, that's off right there. Okay, so cancel my noise. So you're saying it's sound. Hang on a second. Let's do a little sound test here. Let's see if it sounds better. Here we go. So I'm talking right now and I just switched it. Does it sound better like that or does this sounds better before? Tell me if it sounds the same because now Crisp is on. Crisp off. So tell me which way go with it Off. I'm gonna keep it off for now. I don't know what's going on.
- [23:58]
A
It was weird. Something's going on. It got all tinny when you had it on. So keep it off, right?
- [24:04]
B
Yeah, I'm gonna keep it all. I don't know what's going on, but I think you're the updates. But I, I need Chris, I need to record like meetings and stuff. I can record that and it's been.
- [24:11]
A
Let me go, let me go to your mic settings. I'm going to re use Stream Yard to reduce your mic background noise and see what happens. Say something.
- [24:18]
B
One, two, three. Has it changed at all? Yes. Off. Off is better. Okay, so yeah, something's wrong with Crisp. It's messed up.
- [24:24]
A
And we're going to use streamyard for the background.
- [24:26]
B
Jeezer Gemini finally unlocked my account after three months of trying to get their stupid AI only customer service to accept my KYC digital credentials. So sick of non human AI. But well, here's the problem, Jim. The problem isn't the AI bots. The problem is shitty AI bots. And you call into companies, they're so prefer one, press one. I'm like, those aren't AI real AI bots that I, that I've listened to on the phone that I know they're AI bots are so good. Like for example, go high level uses really good audio bots and they're way more helpful than humans. And I can tell it anything and give me all the information I could tell it to send me stuff and it sends me stuff. A real human doesn't do that. So don't blame it on AI, blame it on shitty deployed AI. Don't get it confused because they're not. The two are not the same.
- [25:14]
A
Again, the AI is so amazing. I started testing one out made by Workmates. And so Workmate monitors your calendars, gives you a recap of your calendar for the day, looks at multiple calendars, looks for conflicts on your calendars and then so it sends you an itinerary of the day and then it'll send people reminders. They'll text them reminders, email them reminders and ask you what you want to do. So I had two meetings coming up. I had people meeting at the office and I said, hey, can you send them a reminder? And the one was getting there early and they said, oh, he's 10 minutes away. He'll probably be there in 10 minutes. If not, let me know and I'll reach out to him. And the other one sent a ping, you know, to get a reminder and said, oh, he hasn't, you know, responded yet. Let me send a text. Meanwhile, the AI was texting me and emailing me. I'm like, that's insane. And I could send a text, hey, can you reach out to him, send him an email and let him know I want to schedule a meeting. And it sent somebody an email that said, this is Jeff's assistant, Jill, whatever. And he wants to schedule a meeting with you. Are you available on these dates? His calendar is open. I'm like, that's crazy. You can have a, a text or email conversation or Slack conversation.
- [26:30]
B
Yeah, that's really, it's incredible. Yeah. If you're using AI the way you should be, then it's good they have zero. Well, nobody does. I don't even think Coinbase does. I mean, no, almost nobody does. And Claude is the worst. And if you use an Anthropic, forget about that zero, which is bad because they have some of the best AI tech. So, so just so you guys know, like, Anthropic is the biggest startup in the history of the entire world. They just did a, an H round where they got $65 billion investment on a $980 billion valuation, which means they're almost a trillion dollar company and they're private. So when that they're going to IPO, you're going to have OpenAI is gonna, gonna IPO. But to have Anthropic be almost a trillion dollar company that's still private is insane. And the fact that they just got an h round on a 66, so what do you think? 65 billion is roughly maybe 7%, 7, 8% of that. So you got to see how diluted those shares must be. But you know, I mean, it's hard to even understand. Like, you'll see companies do, you know, different rounds. Abc, right? So if you've run an H round, you get 60. I mean, you can't even fathom $65 billion. Right. You think about it, like, okay, well, a hundred million dollars, 999 million dollars. A lot of money. That's not even a billion. You got a billion, but then you multiply a billion by 65, you got $65 billion as an investment. We're starting to get in some insane territory here. So it is absolutely freaking wild, man. Anyway, here we go. Let's go into like some more of this news here. We'll finish this up on the crypto scene. We'll get into some crypto or some geopolitical political stuff, which really is a lot of US stuff. There's so much going on in the US right now. This right here, Jack McDonald put this up on our USD monthly independent attestation for April. So the total market cap surpassed 1.75 billion, quietly inching towards 2,2 billion. That's less than 1 1/2 years since launch. Pretty solid. LUSD is now part of Copper HQ's stablecoin rewards program, which is interesting. The old stablecoin reward program. I don't know with Copper, how that works on Copper, but I don't know. How much do you have to. Have to. This is in May 21st. How much do you get? How much yield do you get on this thing? Too much reading, Jeff.
- [28:56]
A
Way too much reading. Throw it into AI so we can get a summary.
- [29:00]
B
I'm like, I guess they're just telling you that they have a program but you don't know what the yield is on it. You don't know what the rewards are. What are the rewards? Is it monetary or is it we give you like good feed, we give you a congratulations, hey, good job, you're doing good. It's just like some platitudes like what is this exactly? What the hell's going on? Stablecoin reward program. Nobody knows what the rewards are yet, Jeff, but apparently they have them. Let's get into sui. So this is interesting, Jeff. So SUI mainnet stopped accepting user transaction and it had to do was an epic change at the beginning 01:30 Pacific Time the validators are up creating system transactions but user transactions are not currently being accepted. The SUI core team's investigating updates will be shared. Now what's interesting about this is it went down three times. It went up and then it got went down again. Three separate occurrences on this one fatal flaw. This right here is, this is Evan, he's one of the co founders of Miston Labs and that's obviously what's building sui. And again I'm a big fan of sui. This stuff's going to happen when you're on centralized systems. Moving fast. But I love how he owns it, right? He doesn't make excuses. A lot of people make excuses. He says moving fast is not a valid excuse for the outages. They are unacceptable, period. You have my sincerest apologies for the outages. We're focused on restoring the level of reliability and security to the absolute maximum. So it's good that he put a statement like that out, Jeff. But, you know, look, we've seen Solana go down like for a while. It was like every other month Solana would go down. Am I. Did I sour on Solana? No. What I sour on Sui. No. But for people to say like, wow, now the XRPL has been processing transactions. Sure. You can go back and say the missing blocks. That was on creation. That's very different from having outages and failures and everything else. Now, it had had a couple hiccups here and there along the way. Not necessarily outages, but it has every. Not Nobody's immune to this. You're dealing with, you know, these workflows. You kind of have these problems. Jeff, it's not going to be just down overnight. Who is it in here to talked about here? Look right here. So I'll have. He says, how about Jamie Dimon yesterday talking to Maria Bartolova? What a pussy. I step. I definitely agree. Thanks for that. I definitely agree with that. We've got the little bit that he was talking about before we get into that too. Good evening. Crypto. Put this on. He said, hey, J.P. morgan, Jamie Dimon Warren Stable coins could become a huge problem. He's not happy with the clarity act. So here we are right here. Here's him talking to Maria Barcelona. The funny thing about these guys is, like, when you get to be an old dude, you're still hanging on to like old. And you're still thinking like life is going to go on the way it went on. And you seem like you're always the last person in the room to know Jamie Diamond. I'm not calling him an old dude, but I'm just calling his thinking's old. I'm not no attack on him personally, but he's got this old mindset, the leg. We're gonna be the same as we've always been. And if you don't adapt, you die. Here he is right here. Jeff, listen to this.
- [31:58]
E
It's complicated and the government needs do it thoughtfully. If they don't do it thoughtfully, it will become cause it'll be a huge problem.
- [32:04]
C
So are you Happy with the way
- [32:05]
B
the Clarity act is turning out?
- [32:06]
E
Oh, no. Because it allows them to effectively pay interest on deposits, Stablecoins or something like that without the protection that they should have. And it doesn't do anything for email. BSA has almost no legal protections, so now the banks will not accept it that way.
- [32:23]
F
They want to.
- [32:23]
E
And the aba, the small banks, the credit unions, not just the big guys. I'm not worried about Stablecoin, Bitcoin, but if it happened, I'm telling you, I would have nothing to do with it. And it would eventually blow up on its own. Okay. But that's my personal thing. But I do understand the concern of all the other banks, so.
- [32:39]
F
Well, the markup is coming. I mean, what are you going to do about it?
- [32:41]
E
It is. We'll fight it. If we lose, we lose. And we'll live.
- [32:43]
F
Okay.
- [32:44]
E
But it will be fought. This will not be. No. No one's going to bow down to this guy. Okay. Or that company. And he's the only one. And he's spending hundreds of millions of dollars in Washington.
- [32:53]
F
This thing he said he's.
- [32:55]
C
He's representing the whole.
- [32:59]
B
Well, we're gonna watch that one. Yeah.
- [33:02]
A
Wow.
- [33:02]
F
Well, I mean, this is turning.
- [33:04]
B
You know, Brian Armstrong got under this dude's skin, right? He's full of. Brian Armstrong. No, and he's like, conflict. What do you think about that job? What do you think about, like, what he's saying and where his stance is?
- [33:20]
A
It's. It's. It's so interesting, though, just to see where these players. Where these players are going. Volume was low on the video. Yeah, it was a bit low.
- [33:29]
B
But, you know, unfortunately, we can't control what people post. I'm sorry I didn't see that earlier, because I could have boosted.
- [33:35]
A
It was a good video, though. It was an important video.
- [33:38]
B
Yeah. Unfortunately, we don't post that. I will say this. The stuff we post. Perfect. Why? Because we have high standards. Not everybody has high standards. Not everybody checks the volume. Not everybody adjusts the volume. And they post these low videos that we end up stuck with.
- [33:53]
A
Banks becoming Gensler 2.0 f the banks.
- [33:57]
B
Well, that's exactly right. Jeff, you want to read? You want. I think it'd be fun if you read my commentary on this.
- [34:03]
A
All right.
- [34:03]
B
Instead of me reading it, here it is. Go ahead and have at it.
- [34:07]
A
This is in Chip's voice. I'm gonna read it in your voice. You could just. You could have just said it without reading it. And then you go. It would have been. But there's this is Chip's comment. I pulled this up, found this guy who was commenting on the post. His name is Chip over at on the chain.
- [34:25]
B
Guilty as charged.
- [34:27]
A
Here's a wild idea. Maybe banks should build better products for consumers instead of whining about disruption. Maybe stop running the same tired legacy playbook where customers get paid 0.25% on their own money while banks quietly pocket the other 4.5% on the back end. That is not innovation. That is legalized complacency with a marble lobby. That's right. If banks want to survive, they need to adapt. Holding on to legacy systems, legacy fees, legacy rails and legacy thinking never works forever. History is undefeated. The companies that protect the old model always think they are too big, too powerful and too entrenched and to be replaced. Think about the the horse whips right up into right up until they are Banks defending legacy rail should study the newspaper business. They thought their moat was permanent too. Then the Internet walked in, lit the moat on fire, sold ads against the smoke, and turned the whole industry into a subscription. Pop up, adapt or become a case study. And while they're at it, ask Blockbuster how we'll be fine. Worked out. That's right. They apparently weren't so fine. Spoiler, Netflix didn't pay the late fee. Pro tip. Don't bet against Coinbase.
- [35:48]
B
There it is.
- [35:48]
A
Maybe that should be the lesson.
- [35:50]
B
Don't worry, everything's fine.
- [35:51]
A
Don't worry about it. Everything's great in the banking industry. That's great.
- [35:56]
B
It's so funny, these legacy systems, how they really, they. You know, he's like, he's always the last. He'll be the last guy. When people are like that and are hanging on to stuff, man, it's unbelievable in so many ways. Well, we have. Caitlyn was on with, with the, with the wonderful crew over there. Crypto America Live. I really like what Elliot Terror and the team are doing. They really put out some good stuff. I really want to find out what's going on, especially with legislation. I go ahead and look at that, but here we go. Or here she is right here. And then we're gonna break this one down here too. So I had some commentary on this too. I just. This stuff's really pissing me off on a big level. So I had to sort of talk about it a little bit. Here we go.
- [36:40]
F
The Fed used to have more dissent than it has had under in the post Greenspan era. Greenspan was the first of the sort of super Fed chairs. And then Bernanke And Yellen Powell followed in that footstep where they generally tried to get a consensus and generally had 70 votes at the Board of Governors. The way the FOMC works in Senate appointed governors plus a rotating four Federal Reserve bank presidents, one of whom is permanent. The New York Fed President. Remember what I said earlier? Those Federal Reserve bank presidents, those are private entities legally and the presidents of those are appointed by the boards that are controlled by the banking industry. Those are private citizens that the US President cannot fire and that Senate confirmed Fed governors cannot fire.
- [37:29]
B
Right.
- [37:30]
F
So the rotating of those of those four are there. Right. So back to your point. If they are on board with the President's agenda, then you would tend to see that there won't be dissents. But what we have seen is a fracturing of the votes. We've seen the highest number of dissents and the most partisanship of both the Board of Governors votes and the FOMC votes in the Fed's history in the last several months. And so the real question that will all soon get answered, is the partisanship going to calm down or is it going to even potentially get worse?
- [38:11]
B
Oh boy, Jeff, this one got, this one really enraged me to a point of. It's nice that you're, bless your heart there. Partisanship. Let me call it out for what it really is, Jeff, is she's saying like nice kind words like partisanship and dissent and. Well, I, I basically added this a little bit and into the display of reflexive, nihilistic obstructionism that's become the signature brand, the Democrats have once again proven they are the party of anti everything. That's what I call them, Jeff, the anti everything party. Anti growth, anti energy, anti innovation, anti common sense. Whatever advances, prosperity, security or basic competence or basic common sense, they basically line up and they're against it every single time. So the latest fiasco carries the fingerprints all over it because responsibility and results have never been any of their priorities. Call it partisanship, if you want that polite word, Jeff, which is actually corrosive, spiteful sabotage of public interest. The American people keep paying the price for the ideologic tantrums while they preen about democracy and norms and their anti everything pathologies. Not a bug. It's basically their entire operating system. It's. The country is exhausted by it. Jeff, any thoughts on that? Anything you want to add to that?
- [39:26]
A
No, I think that's pretty spot on.
- [39:29]
B
Right. Polysibia. There you go. Beautiful. I tell you what, man, it's sometimes this stuff I, it just drives me crazy. It's like, oh, partisanship and descent. Now call it for what it is. And who are you going to piss off? The anti everything party? Is she worried about pissing off the Democrats who we know are like the. Who were the. Gary Gensler, you know, anti everything world. Right. And now you got Gemini filing this lawsuit. There was. We'll probably have some more on this tomorrow night. But this lawsuit that was only unfairly filed against Gemini, it's. To me, this stuff is an all time high. Call it for what it is. Don't step around with kind little words. It's funny because Caitlyn Long is actually. I wonder if she's gonna. Nobody, nobody's liked or hated anything. One person liked that. I don't know if somebody started, but I don't know who because Caitlin Long is on that. Because I kind of called her out. Like, don't use partisans. Partisanship, Jeff. It's like, you know, it's. So call it for what it is. The anti everything party. Because I always says, I always say to Democrats, again, like disputes. And I'm like, what do you guys stand on? Okay, I hate Trump. Let's just. Okay, we got that. What are your ideas? Like, what are you guys doing that's new? Tell us how you're going to do this. And it's always the straw man argument. Well, they. And there's this. That we got to fight against it. And you got Karen Bass out and running for mayor. And she's like, well, it's gonna end homelessness by 2026. And 2026 rolled around. I was like, oops, Nothing. Nothing ended, Jeff. So interestingly enough, it looks like Ellie Terra put this out. That Custodia Bank CEO Caitlin Long preparing to take her fight with the Federal Reserve to the Supreme Court. Justice Neil Gorsuch granted Custodia additional time to file certiori rari petition asking for the Supreme Court to review by the 10th Circuit's ruling on whether the Fed has the legal discretion to deny the bank a master account. But of course, it's a crypto bank. That's why they got denied. The move comes after a divided 10th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in favor of the Federal Reserve. Custodian's petition is due on July 11th. Jack, what are your thoughts on this? This whole Tom Foolery BS garbage.
- [41:43]
A
Oh, bs.
- [41:45]
B
It's all ridiculous, Jeff. I mean, we. We should be done with that. Jeff, these next two stories, I want to talk a little bit of ay. What's that?
- [41:55]
A
I've got one for Aussie you got one?
- [42:00]
B
What is it?
- [42:03]
A
I can't do anything with it yet. It'll come up here in a minute.
- [42:09]
B
Okay. Okay, so I want you to take these next two stories, Jeff, and give your commentary on it. We don't have to go through the whole story, but just on, on the basis of the articles themselves. So we're gonna go through a coindesk has been writing about. Here we go. This is coin dad.
- [42:28]
A
So yeah, so you know, it's interesting you go through and we really try to analyze where Coin CoinDesk is writing all their articles for. Like what's their perspective chip? Where, where are they coming at this from? I don't know who this writer is from anywhere, but I keep seeing like a weird interpretation of how the crypto market is performing as they try to compare it to legacy financial infrastructure. Now I get if you want to talk about ETFs. ETFs. Maybe the demand is cooling, right? So we have Bitcoin, Ether, xrp, Dogecoin lag, a nine week stock rally as ETF demand cools. So is there less money going into the crypto ETF versus what's happening in the crypto space? So I would like to see a good, a better comparative to say, hey, are we seeing stocks cool across the board? We're also seeing a lot of money pumping into AI and not just a, everything in and around the AI infrastructure. Thousands of percent gains on, on chip and semiconductors and everything that's built in and around whatever type of infrastructure is needed for AI, which is a lot. And we're seeing massive, massive gains. I mean insane. Like I don't, you know, to see stock prices move by a thousand to 4,000%, you know, for the year, which is insane. Now here they're talking about where, you know, the, the crypto, the big crypto players. ETF, the S& P posted its longest weekly winning streak since 2023. Brent oil stabilized near $92 on US Iran. CeaseFire hopes okay, great oil is going to response to what's going on over there. The biggest cryptocurrencies still drifted lower with Hyper Li, Hyper Liquids hype the only major name to rally. So we, we have seen some sluggish movement within the crypto space, but there's lots of money going again going into AI and I think that's where, if we go into the stocks and ETF outside of crypto, we're just focusing on what's happening in legacy investment vehicles. It makes sense why people are moving out of, out of crypto ETFs, maybe they're. They're held in there, but people want to go into where the money's going. And so if the money is potentially over in oil, they're going to oil. If it's in AI, which is where there's lots of money flooding into AI infrastructure. That's where the money. That's where the gains are. So why don't they reference that? Why don't they just talk about the bigger narrative? They're so hyperfocused on one tiny little perspective. Now. This haunts us across the board, especially like we talk about with the other YouTubers out there, where they're so hyper focused only on crypto and they don't even look at the geopolitics here. They're talking about crypto in the ETF space, and they're just very, very narrowly focused on the S P. I mean, they're not showing where people are putting their money. Let's go. Let's zoom out a little bit and figure out where's the money really going. Instead of trying to beat up on the etf, specifically saying, hey, what's happening with the crypto etf? Why is demand cooling? Demand's cooling because money's going elsewhere right now where the big gains are.
- [45:42]
B
Jeff, that was so spot on with the commentary. Well, how about when they blink, bring political stuff in there and they're completely. Yeah, I want to hear your commentary on this one too, on the Hormuz, like how they compared.
- [45:55]
A
So, yes, here's another one.
- [45:57]
B
Another coinbase.
- [45:58]
A
Right. This is the other one. Right? Crypto slides on Hormuz Airstrike. Did it, you know, did it really slide because of what happens over there? You know, again, the money is moving around money, there's money trending again. AI is the big investment right now. So that's where money is moving into.897 million in long liquidations pile up. Yeah, we've definitely seen bitcoin is at a low. The whole crypto market is. Is at a low. If we look specifically within crypto, is it because of what happened over Horus? No, it's been at a low. This. We've seen, you know, the numbers kind of tank a little bit, but again, we also see tons of money going over into AI. So explain that. You know, is it. Is the crypto liquidation systemically connected to what's happening over in Iran? Or again, is it connected to the fact that money is going where the money is? I mean, you know, and then the holders are. The holders pick people that are in bitcoin long term, are in bitcoin long term. People that are XRP long term, are in XRP long term, they're holding. Then there's the, the money that keeps coming and going in and out of the market. That, because those are the shorter term gains and they're looking for the run. And that's it.
- [47:15]
B
There it is, Jeff, right there. Jim D. Says the money's going to bombs in the Department of Defense. It's Department of War, it's not Department of defense or DODs anymore. But it is, it is interesting though that that's where they would be coming from, you know. And then we have here, Mike Morris says this flare, good long term hold, you have to do your own research. I mean, I, I'm a big believer in flair. I think they're doing everything right. You know, it remains to be seen what, what's going to actually happen. But Jeff, on the, you know, one of the things that I've been really, I don't want to say something surprised by, but sometimes I am surprised by it because the White House official account sometimes puts out some amazing things. And I will say this, this one here had me laughing and happy on the floor. But they put out a post and the post simply said, it was posted with this video here that I'm going to play. But it simply said they walk among us amongst us aliens.gov so you're like, oh, this is the alien disclosure stuff. And then they posted this video. Now guys, watch this video closely here. There it is the White House dot Go. There is the White House president Donald J. Trump, dominant scribe for people listening on audio. What this is, is you see a spacecraft, a guy running and it lifts him up, spacecraft lifts him up and basically takes him and places him over the other side of the wall and basically places him back down. And so if we go back to the actual post here, let's kind of break this down a little bit. Let's go back to the post. Here we go. Here it is, Jeff. They walks Amongst Us and aliens.gov, right? So there's the thing right there. And here we go. We click on aliens.gov and they walk among us. For 60 years, the US government has kept a closely guarded secret. Aliens have been walking among us, living in our neighborhoods and interacting with us in daily lives. They shopped in the same stores, they've attended the same classes as our children. And they live seemingly normal human existences with one exception. They do not belong here. Millions arrived under the COVID of darkness and embedded themselves directly into our society. Countless presidents, congressmen, and senior officials knew exactly what was happening. But instead of protecting American citizens, they chose to cover it up and even accelerate the invasion. Until one man finally had the courage to tell the truth. Bold, unapologetic, unafraid. President Trump was the first to call out the real danger of aliens posed to every American family, every community, and the future of our nation. The truth is no longer out there. It's right here, right now. And so that's it. Legal aliens, turns out they walk amongst us. But the fact that they put this on the. They, they, they. It goes to whitehouse.gov but the URL is aliens.gov. this is rich, I have to say. And this guy right here, Tech News, posted this. He said whoever pitched aliens.gov as a domain for immigration enforcement understood virality better than most ad agencies. And I concur with that. And, boy, did you see the left being outraged by this. Flipping out. Especially when you read the word congressman in there. Not Congress. People. You know, they're going to flip out about that. And they didn't mention any they, thems, or, you know, whatever other pronouns they like to talk about. Jeff. Which is too much. But of course, Jeff, you know what's going on. You know, Trump is hosting a UFC event at the White House.
- [50:54]
A
At the White House. How great is that?
- [50:55]
B
I think it's phenomenal.
- [50:57]
A
What a perfect place for it.
- [50:59]
B
I absolutely think it's a. It's a phenomenal thing. But you know who's outraged by it, Jeff?
- [51:04]
A
The left.
- [51:05]
B
The left. Hillary Clinton put this up. This is what Trump's done to the People's House. A third of its rubble, another third of it is a cage. Max, what a metaphor.
- [51:17]
A
They're so ridiculous, the way they. They make these claims. It's under construction. They're building something right now. Like what? The. The commentary is just so. So stupid, is so low.
- [51:30]
B
And you know the other thing, too, Jeff? It's like to.
- [51:32]
A
To.
- [51:33]
B
To basically be against. First of all, Trump is going to be almost. Trump is going to be in office like four months or five months when the ballroom is finally ready, he's going to be out of office. He's building it for future presidents. Essentially. What people are missing is what's underneath that. What they've really expanded is all. There's a. There's a bunker down there. There's all kinds of tech down there, latest tech.
- [51:57]
A
There's.
- [51:58]
B
And security and a way to secure not only the president, but other people are missing, that it was the closed disclosed because the stupid Democrats were filing lawsuits against it and it came out. But you know, the government can't even build stuff that makes any sort of sense for future. And these be this, this fake outrage is unbelievable, Jeff. But you know what? I don't know if you guys know who Buzz Patterson is, but Buzz Patterson, he was at one time the guy who did was, you know, walked with the, the football, the, the nuke that Clinton carried around. He. Here he is. So he had a direct response to our pal Hillary Clinton, and he does not go lightly. Jeff, go ahead and take this one. You'll love this one.
- [52:44]
A
There we go. Put this up, Buzz Peterson. Oh, Hillary, you ignorant. Oh my God. As a senior military aide to President Bill Clinton, your military aide, the officer who carried the nuclear football in and out of the White House every single day, I saw the People's House up close alongside you. Hillary Clinton. Spare us these sanctimonious lectures and turn on your replies, coward. When you and Bill left in 2001, your staff ransacked the place. That's right. Remember, they stole everything. W keys were ripped off every keyboard. Think about. Because that was GW was coming in. Phone lines cut, desk drawers glued shut, obscene voicemails and vulgar graffiti left behind. How disgusting. You know, and this stuff, you know, really did happen. Presidential seals and silverware were stolen, furniture was damaged. The GAO confirmed the vandalism and theft. It wasn't transition friction. It was a disgrace. You trashed the People's House on your way out the door and now you're clutching pearls over Trump. I remember Hillary. I was there. Remember? The hypocrisy is Olympic level, Ms. Clinton, and you know it. You of all people know it. The American people have long memories, especially this one. Me, we remember who actually looted the place. Shut up. In color. I'll just say shut the F up.
- [54:08]
B
Yeah, I think he was trying to be a little bit nicer at the end, but yeah, yeah, that's. That's that's 100 spot on. And all these people flipping out about it. You know, we got some more talk about too, but this whole thing, so. Yeah, it drives me insane. The. It's like, where do you start here? There's another article I wanted to put up here. And we'll kind of get back to that. The ufc. The left flipping out about the UFC event. So Ellie Terry put this one up. Crypto Flexes in Texas. See how that rhymes. Jeff Flexes in Texas. Jeff. This is another one of those articles that let's call it what it really is. But let's not prance around and pretend what we think it is. So here we go. The crypto industry emerged as a winner after spending millions in the Texas primary runoffs. This is a fake story, it's not the real story. This is a nice platitude, but it's not the real story. President Trump jumps into the prediction markets debate. He didn't jump. He was 100 and whatever, whatever he bet on, he was a perfect. Okay, so he wasn't jumping into a debate. Senator Warren sparks backlash for bashing crypto trust charter approval. So if we click on this, we can go into the story here and it's on a dark background, not making me happy. So let's talk about it. So it said crypto won six for six backing winning candidates. A fun story, but it was a Trump endorsement that carried it. How do we know that? Because it happened in every state in every race and he's got perfect effort. It was over 100, right? The industry's leading super PAC, Fair Shake, which we expose as a phony, mostly gives more, more money to Dems, took credit. They took credit for helping 38 year old freshman Christian Menifee unseat a 20 year old incumbent Al Green. Well that's funny because I remember redistricting really was the big one in that but also the endorsement. So Al Green is out. Remember Al Green famously parading around with signs during the, you know, the last couple of Trump state of the unions
- [56:12]
A
and there's so many that are out. It's so great to see who's out.
- [56:16]
B
Democrat primary runoff after spending 6.5 million. That's not why. That's not why at all. Rep. Green proves anti crystal hostility. Yeah, okay, that's part of the story. But again this is another one trying to Fair shakes, trying to take credit for something that Trump did.
- [56:33]
A
Yep.
- [56:33]
B
So it's in green 78. We got an F rating from advocacy group Stan. With crypto you have elsewhere you got Alex Mueller, Tom Sell, John Bond. All Republicans won their respective races combined 1.8 million from fair Shake. Then you have Anchorage and Chain Link endorsed Menafee and Bong. So yeah, you can do the crypto tie in. I think it's important. But in my opinion, Jeff, there's one reason Trump endorses you. I mean look at Paxton. One week before the primary you had the in in Cornyn. John Cornyn was elected during the Bush administration. Okay? This guy is one of the Bushes holdovers. Total Rhino. Republican in name only Rhino. This Guy John Cornyn lost by the largest margin since World War II. It was like 28 points. He lost by. You're talking about a. A couple decade incumbent senator getting blasted off. But Paxton was a very, very, very well, you know, I would say wonderful ag. He's well known and people hate corn and Cornyn doesn't represent the people. And so it kind of shocked some people. But he went with Paxton and he put out a funny statement after saying John and I will become long remain friends. I was like trolling the crap out of them on top of everything. And the latest weird thing that happened, Jeff, is this 250 year celebration that's coming up on July 4th. There was going to be a bunch of bands and people. So Brett Michaels from the band Poison, he pulled out of it because. Because Orange man, bad Martina McBride, she pulled out. They're getting hammered. Remember, the left doesn't know how to meme. The right is very good at especially with AI videos. And one person, this was Harvey Levin over on tmz, wanted to interview Vanilla Ice because Vanilla Ice is going to be part of it. And so he kind of chimes in here and here he is.
- [58:42]
G
So what do you think about this? That, you know, it's a birthday party and now it just feels super political.
- [58:49]
H
Oh, man, I'm not going to get dragged into that. I. I'm here to party with America, man. Music is made to bring people together and that's what we're here to do, man. We're just gonna represent the 90s. I don't take anything too serious. Serious. I don't think anybody else should. I think that we should just dance. You know, it's life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness and you got to get out and pursue it. With dance, it's all about just us making it this far and then kind of bringing people together. And that's what this is about. I don't think that it should be about any political thing or anything like that. I don't even vote, so I don't even care. And if Biden called up a and he said my, my daughter's getting married, we need Vanilla Ice, I'd go play. It's not a big thing. You, you play for your fans. You know, we don't get a chance to pick our fans. They pick us. And I, I'll go play for Putin and I'll play in Iran if you want. It don't matter. There's fans everywhere. Music is not political, man. It's universal. Just brings people together over the Years
- [59:44]
G
we've covered these stories where, you know, people, big celebrities, singers, have gone to Saudi Arabia, other countries that are problematic in terms of human rights. It seems like when you do it outside the country, it's fair game, but when you do it in the United States, it really becomes divisive. And I just mentioned all the people who have bailed from this, and they're bailing because they think that this has that Trump stamp on it and that Trump stamps is everywhere now. And now it's going to be on $250 bills, it looks like. You know, as well as building and arches and ballrooms and all this stuff. So people are saying they don't want that stamp on their forehead.
- [60:32]
H
Well, some people are probably getting it tattooed too. You know, it's all about not taking anything too serious, man. And everybody's opinionated. And it seems like the world is like a snow globe today. It's all shaken up, man. I'm from the 80s and 90s. We didn't take all this mess so serious. I mean, we're all wearing Z Cav Richis and, you know, it was serious. We had fanny packs and ripped our back seats out and put in subwoofers. Come on, man. This is a celebration of America 250, the birthday of our country that we were born in. Come on, enjoy the dancing. Don't take it so serious. We're just entertainers, man. Just get out, shut up and play. That's what I say. And it's funny because all the people, they're all my friends. Like, we're playing here tonight. They're all on this tour with me. Where are you?
- [61:12]
G
Where are you now?
- [61:13]
H
We're in Bangor, Maine tonight. So it's. It's awesome. But like, you know, young mc, everybody that bailed out on the, on this, they're all out here with me. It don't matter, man. We don't have.
- [61:23]
G
Do they. Are they talking to you about it?
- [61:25]
H
No. It's not even a big deal. Everybody makes their own decision on what they feel like, you know, however it works. But I don't think that anybody should take this serious, including them. I think everybody should just go dance. It's just music. What's the big deal, man? We're just entertainers.
- [61:40]
B
I hate to say it, but when Ice. When. When Ice. Ice, baby, Ice. T weighs in on this, and he's right. It's like, wait a minute. How is this. How is this guy so spot on? Like, he goes for entertainers. Shut up and play, man. You Know, I'm not going to be political. You know, the funniest thing was if you remember the great Rush Limbaugh. The great Rush Limbaugh. He got re. He got remarried and, and he want, he loves Elton John. He wanted, he paid Elton John like a million dollars to come play at his wedding. He did like a 45 minute or an hour set, really intimate, setting him in a piano. And Elton John got freaking raped over the coals. Like, how could you play for this man? And the rhetoric. He says, it was a gig, man. It was a gig. He goes, and he goes, he's a very nice man. I had the chance to meet him and he said, you know, but this guy took so much incoming. Like, oh my God. You know, it was the same thing where they go like a Trump type thing and he says the bishop things and he's like, dude, it was a gig. He hired me to play. I came and play a wedding. It was a lovely experience. He made a million dollars, played a 45 minute set, you know, or whatever it was. It's, it's. And, and man, I remember Elton John was just tortured over that. He was just like, shut up, man. It was just a gig. Like, don't. You're gonna tell somebody where they can, you know, what they can do and
- [62:54]
A
what they can do, how they can make money. It's getting so, it's so absurd. They're so filled with hate, you know, that just let the, let people do what they want to do. The left, they're so just out there. They've gone so far deranged. You know, it's, it's not even Trump derangement syndrome anymore. These guys are wacky, you know. Now what you see happening, like in New York City with Mom dummy, mom dummy appealing to the Islamo fascist. And it's all about using the lefts, communist leaning to allow for the Islamo fascist takeover of New York City. And, and the left are so stupid. They're. They're just being used and abused while they're, while they're trying to demoralize this country.
- [63:42]
B
Look at this. That's a great comment right here, Jeff. Curious comics. The left is sick and they act like Nazis while calling the right Nazis. Yeah, they're at the. This whole sort of everything they accuse the other side of, they're basically doing right. It's this, it's just, it's bizarre to me. They're filled with so much hate. There's only room for Left for Love. TMZ is walk woke. Yeah, TMZ is, but I noticed they're trying to get more in on the political scene. They're trying to comment on it. They, they got into Dispenser, so they're, they're increasing their reach, but at least they give. At least they were right on this whole topic. Like, don't turn everything into a political event when it's this fruit. Cynthia Holt's another one she talked about. She weighed in on this whole thing and language is kind of hard. She says f this it's absolutely disgusting and pathetic that Martina McBride and Brett Michaels and these other fake ass patriots are refusing to show up for America's 250th anniversary just because Donald Trump's involved. These talentless frauds and gutless losers built their whole careers off the back of this country. The freedom, the fans, the opportunities America gave them. Now they want to spit its face over politics. What a bunch of whiny, virtual signature signaling little bitches. You don't get to cash in on America's dreams for decades. Then boycott the biggest birthday this nation will ever throw. Never forget the betrayal. If you can't put the country first for one goddamn day, then we the people won't support your sorry asses going forward. No more streams, no more tickets, no more merch. Go fuck off to whatever blue gay retarded bubble you crawled out of. America doesn't need you, but you sure hell need America.
- [65:16]
A
That's right.
- [65:17]
B
Damn, she's good. Her and LH Great, by the way. They're two lesbians and they're partners and they write some of the best commentary I've ever seen on. They're, they're, you know, a couple. They're together and they write the most scorching stuff. Somehow I got blocked by L.H. graham, my account. I don't know. I've only ever promoted her on this show. I don't know why she blocked me. I have to go on my other account. I. I honestly don't. I've. I've only said positive things, so I don't know. She might have not liked and she's hardcore conservative, but here we go. Look at this, Jeff. There's a couple different types of headaches. You got your migraine, which is the front sort of where your eyes are. You got the hypertension, which sort of. The back of your skull over there, you've got your stress, which kind of runs through it. Then you've got your whole head, which is a white liberal woman speaking. The memes are so strong. This I had so Many great memes. Look at this. Democrats are Republicans. So who owned the slaves? That would be. The Democrats defended slavery. Yep. Democrats founded the kkk, banned. Democrats perpetuated lynchings. Yep. The Democrats enforced segregation. Dems. Jim Crow laws. Dems. Filibuster civil rights legislation. Dems oppose the 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments. The Democrats. The Indian Removal Act. The Democrats. A trail of tears. Democrats. Japanese internment. Again. The Democrats. Jeff. It never fails. Look at this one here. The actors union would be a great place to try socialism. We could take money from the Hollywood millionaires and redistribute it so that the struggling actors could have a living wage. They just never really want it when you kind of pull it down to that thing. Right, Jeff, look at this. You got three guys and they were marked safe from testosterone. So you have Telerico on the left, you got Butt plug Buttig in the center. And you got Beto, who's been running. You got Beto who's been running for office. He's a beta male. He's been running for office and losing. And this telo is going to lose unbelievably. Here we go, Jeff. That we're at a turning point. To the right, you got the free world, fork in the road, the left, you got communism. This is where we are. We're right there.
- [67:23]
A
That's exactly where we're at right now. And people are making their decisions, they're making their choices. Many on the left are choosing to go left. They've risen. They've raised an entire generation through the schooling system. Some of the kids are waking up and they're smart, but the media is hyper focusing on the minority. I still believe that there's a minority out there that is getting the spotlight, they're getting the attention, and they're the ones that are left leaning. Maybe there's a few more of them. Maybe they look crazier than they used to be. Maybe they used to be in the shadows and now they're willing to come out in the light. But they're still a minority. This country and and other countries, people want to head down the direction of the free world. Our country, the United States of America, always lived right of center, never left of center. It's going in that direction. It's artificially pushed based on the media corruption, the politicians and everything else to try to create this illusion that we're actually left of center. That's complete. And the more people wake up and take control back and we have to take control from these losers because those beta males that you showed, you know, that have been put into power. They are not true leaders. You put a Trump up against or put any of the MAGA leadership up. True alpha leaders versus the beta leaders. Beta leaders are corrupted in nature and they're not meant to be there. And so if you place them versus have them actually earn their place, totally different scenario. And so these are, these are some of the things that, that we're up against. And there you have it.
- [69:04]
B
I like this one here from Jim D. You need it. Oz. Scarecrow at that intersection. That's fantastic. And so rolling right along here. So I want to go ahead and play this next video here is pretty much the Democrat party and the leftism in one video, Jeff. And I think you're going to enjoy this one. The memes are so clever these days. They're so good that it's just. I just love if AI has any reason to be around these generative AI videos are certainly it because you couldn't really illustrate this by a cartoon. You really need something like this. But here we go.
- [69:40]
I
Women should have any rights and LGBQ people should be executed.
- [69:45]
B
So we have, here is. We got a guy in the last cartoon, right? Guy with a beard, curly hair, and he's talking to a girl with blue hair and she's listening to him. It looks like they're on some kind of a date night or they're a couple of some kind. But he's kind of getting into his philosophy here about what he thinks about women.
- [69:58]
I
I don't think women should have any rights. And LGBQ people should be executed.
- [70:03]
J
Oh, my fucking God. What a complete primitive asshole you are. You must be a Republican.
- [70:09]
A
No, actually I am a Muslim and
- [70:11]
I
those are my religious beliefs. Women to us are lower than dogs.
- [70:14]
J
Oh, I am so sorry. I apologize. I hope you don't think I'm Islamophobic.
- [70:19]
B
There it is, Jeff. That pretty much sums it up in
- [70:22]
A
one little video thing in a, In a short clip. That's amazing.
- [70:27]
B
You couldn't be more succinct if you were going to illustrate how it works and how they act in one freaking video, you know?
- [70:35]
A
That's insane.
- [70:37]
B
That's so good. Is that, Is that not a great video, Jeff, or what? I'm like, I. I was like, how could you capture so much in just one little tiny skit like that? I, I'm laughing because the whole Trump, this whole meltdown about the USC, Jeff. The whole thing about. I can't believe the U.S. the White House is in there defiling this and that, and you know, it just seems to never end with this. But here we go. Let's look at, here's. This is funny. This is the UFC ring. And you know that meme of the screaming lady when Trump was first inaugurated?
- [71:06]
J
No.
- [71:06]
B
So you got her on the, in the middle of the, of the ring with Joe Rogan and Donald Trump. Got the fireworks going off, celebration in the background. How freaking funny. So let's talk about how Trump defiled the White House. But let's forget about this little scene that happened when Biden was there.
- [71:31]
A
Right.
- [71:36]
B
I gotta be careful because of the, the sound there. But look at that. Remember, they turned the White House into a rainbow flag. They had trannies who are topless, parading around, but, but no orange man, bad job. That's, that's what it is. It's, it's the orange man. And so the, the bee, which never misses, had this fun thing to say here.
- [72:01]
A
Oh my God, there's so many great.
- [72:02]
B
Look at this. Democrats criticized Trump for holding MMA match on the hollow ground where Biden hosted topless trannies.
- [72:10]
A
Yeah, exactly. That's what they, this is what they like. It's what they want.
- [72:15]
B
It's 100 what they want, right? Yeah, but the whole thing is, is especially we look at this video here, Jeff. When you think about like what happened to society. I can't play the music because obviously. Let me see if I can. Yeah, it's off. Okay. But here it is on the left you have a 1965. You got this beautifully dressed woman in a dress, elegant, got purse, white gloves, high heels on. And then you have a blue haired, kind of half shaved head, oat milk wearing, I don't know, it just looks like a homeless person. And they're at a gas station, right? So you got the old car behind you, got the other one, new one in front with a can of one of those energy drinks. There's a whole animation thing that happens here. But the whole thing is like what happened to our society? 65 and 2026. You can see the difference, elegance to whatever that is. Here we go again. There's 1965, got Nice Girl, she's buying a Hershey's bar. Well dressed. And you got some lady, some woman buying tackies and overalls, taking a selfie, tattooed up with a, with a beanie cap on, on the right. Then again, we look at again, gas station, 1965. A nice woman dressed in a beautiful dress and some homeless looking woman with big old stained hoodie and those yoga pants. You see Everywhere. And like, you know, come on. Sometimes, Jeff, the people wearing yoga pants aren't the people who should be wearing yoga pants. Okay. If you got a nice figure, sure. Okay, go ahead. But I don't need to see every nook and cranny. Okay. I just don't, like. It's like, in the gym anymore. I'm like, I. I'm. I'm happy for you that you're here, you're overweight, you're in the gym, you're working out, you're doing something about it. But, God, please put some clothes on. Please.
- [73:55]
A
I. I can't look at the difference. That's such a. A distinction between the way, you know, the 60s and. And now. It's crazy. Forget about just in public. Think about when you get on a plane, what it used to be like in the 60s.
- [74:09]
B
Well, people want to know what happened. Liberalism happened, Leftism happened, woke happened. That's what happened. So here we go here, and here's another animation. And she's looking at her phone. Then you got the guy on the left. It looks like, you know, out of, you know, some beautiful. He's on his way to work. He's drinking a Coke. He's got a full suit on, beautifully tailored suit.
- [74:29]
A
He's going to a MAGA rally, though.
- [74:31]
B
Yeah, 1965. Then you got the dude on the right, beer belly hanging out, flag shirt on. He's got an energy drink, one of those burgers you. You go to a convenience store and stick in the microwave. And he's got McDonald's in his hat. He's got the cargo shorts on. I mean, this is. This is it, Jeff, right here.
- [74:50]
A
Let's get back to the 60s. How about that?
- [74:53]
B
1965. Look at that couple. He's wearing. Beautiful slacks, a nice white shirt. There's the chicken yoga pants.
- [75:00]
A
Yep. Pumping the gas.
- [75:02]
B
Pumping the gas with her loser boyfriend, soy boy over there, checking out his phone. It's. It's just a sad state of affairs, man. Of where we really are and what's. What's happened and sharing some other fun memes, too. You saw what happened with Blue Origin. It blew up on the. On the. Oh, yeah, on the rocket on the pad. I don't know what they were testing, but some. Something happened, and they basically blew up on the pad. Yeah, well, just, you know, all you can say is, like, bring out the meme army, because they had a field day with this one, too. So they put up two of these. Two of these memes. Here's the first one. This is uh, the Amazon rocket.
- [75:41]
A
Wow.
- [75:42]
F
Seven minutes.

B
That was fast.

Minor inconvenience.

A
I love it.
- [76:46]
B
Your whole house is blown up. Just a minor. It's just a minor inconvenience, Jeff. It's nothing really that big. It's not a big deal. And then this meme right here. So you remember the. The train to nowhere. They spent like $20 billion and they built like track that you can. I don't know, they built like 20ft of track. So here is new scum and Karen Bass riding the. Riding the train, board the California. High speed fail.
- [77:11]
J
This thing is really moving for once.
- [77:13]
B
Only three breakdowns this week.

J
A new record. And only 20 billion over budget.
- [77:22]
A
High speed fail.
- [77:23]
B
The high speed fail. Yeah.
- [77:26]
A
That's awesome.
- [77:27]
B
And then
- [77:31]
A
some of these things are the best. I mean, what they're pretty are.
- [77:34]
B
There's so much cleverness that goes into it on the execution side. One thing that was pretty interesting too is this woman. I've seen this whole clip before, but it's been resurfacing again. But it was a liberal woman. She's basically talking everything about wrong with Trump and putting Trump and Trump, Trump. And she was talking about why. Go ahead and read that one, Jeff.
- [77:50]
A
I got to put that up. Something like this pops up. It's so spot on. Curios comics over here. Conservative crypto show. I was getting tired of crypto channels that repeat the same thing over and over.
- [78:03]
B
And thank you for that. It looks like maybe you're like a new new viewer, which is great. Thank you. Welcome. You know, spread it with your friends. The other thing too, that we do, the first part of it's going to be crypto, but it's all tied in together. What's going on with geopolitical stuff. A lot of times we will show more stuff that's happening in the world. It's just a lot going on in the US Right now. Chance. We usually show what's going on in Germany and in the UK and France and, you know, what's going on in Australia. So we like to show that. But sometimes there's just so much stuff going on. But this is something that's been circulating. This is a liberal talking about Trump, attacking Trump personally for things that Trump did. And how could you be a conservative? And this woman has a pretty good response, but of course, the left won't. Lady won't let her speak, but here she is.
- [78:45]
C
You feel like Trump supporters have strayed away from conservative values, right? By voting. But. But that is, but that is the prompt. So as a Trump supporter, I'm going to tell you how I align with conservative values, because you just gave me a laundry list of something that a flawed human has done. I didn't, I don't voted for. I don't, I don't see Trump. And let me just tell you, I'm a black woman. I got good people in my family. I got killers in my family. Half the people in my family on my mom's side, the men are locked up in prison. Would you point that's kind of a man that I would vote for? No, no. But let me, let me just say what I have to say. You just gave me a laundry list of something that a flawed human has done. I'm going to tell you as a conservative, the values that I align with as a conservative, number one, family structure, tradition, holding on, upholding traditions within society. That is very important so that we stay structured and that we have boundaries in society. We need that. I know what a community is like when it doesn't have a foundation, a core foundation of tradition. So. So, though. But these are the conservative values that I. How does Trump embody that? But I feel like Trump and the administration and the things that they are enacting and activating, to me, those things protect certain things. Like just the basic things, like a man and a woman. What does that have to do with everything? That literally is the basis, is the nucleus of the family. So when you, but when you try to confess, confuse people on what just the basic things of life are as a man and a woman, like, to me, you are literally undoing a basic foundation of society.

Like, you're, again, you're sitting here talking about somebody Cheating. I mean, people cheat across the aisle. I'm not saying that I condone it. So I. Because I just feel like I just kept being cut off because you just want to prove me wrong. You don't want to hear me out. And that's the problem with today. Nobody. Everybody wants to be right. Nobody's looking to understand where somebody's coming from. You're not even receptive. So listen, I was receptive to you. So family structure is important to me. Upholding traditions within society, the fabric of society is important to me. Limited government is important to me. And uniting everything under the executive branch, to me, that goes back to being a republic. That is clo. Yeah. That's the opposite of republic. No, it's not. Because literally, with everything being all over. Opposite of. With everything being all over the place and you letting bureaucracy. Bureaucracy run wild. Literally all these different sex and fashions, they have all this power and control, and we're in this. A bunch of confusion. So I do. I. I align with some of the things that he's doing in that. In that respect. Let me see. Core values of conservatism. I like financial conservatism. Being that being financially conservative, conservative for the individual. I believe in individual responsibility. That's a conservative. While increasing American. That's. That's a conservative value that I align with.

B
That woman can't keep her mouth shut. That mental illness is strong on that thing. Says, well said, that woman. 100. 100. Well said.
- [81:53]
A
Yeah.
- [81:54]
B
And you know, she couldn't. She couldn't even collect her thoughts because that woman kept interrupting her. But if you watch the whole clip, she listens the whole time while that woman's talking, but she doesn't give her the same courtesy. Of course, the Spencer Pratt AI videos are great. People are like, oh, Spencer Pratt's putting these. Spencer Pratt's not putting these videos out. He's only put out, like, one or two. You know, the Prince of Bel Air, that was one of his. But for a lot of them, no. So listen to this. Here we go. Oh, God. Oh, God. Oh, God, please.
- [82:26]
J
My daughter, she's sick. Spencer Pratt is the common sense choice for Los Angeles. Just look around. The city is a mess, and our leaders have failed us. Homelessness, crime, drugs, everything is worse under Karen Bass.
- [82:40]
I
This is bad. She's caught the Pratt. How did this happen?
- [82:44]
J
We restrict her media diet. New York Times, msnbc, npr, maybe CNN if we're feeling frisky. Something must have slipped through.
- [82:54]
I
Does she know anyone, anyone at all who thinks for themselves?
- [82:58]
J
I Don't know. I don't think so. What is this?
- [83:02]
I
It starts with a mild cough, and then next thing you know. You hate seeing homeless drug addicts inject near kids. It's very contagious. I'm going to prescribe four doses of NPR every hour on the hour. Two doses of the New York Times and five doses of the LA Times.
- [83:18]
J
Why was Karen Bass in Ghana while the city was burning?
- [83:21]
I
Six doses. Six doses of the LA Times. We'll have to hold her in quarantine with the others for a few days. It's protocol.
- [83:33]
B
Sick of it.
- [83:35]
A
Oh, my God.
- [83:36]
B
Spencer Pratt. Oh, he's got a cough. Oh. Oh, no.
- [83:43]
A
Oh, that's so brilliant.
- [83:44]
B
Does she know anybody who thinks to themselves, I don't think so? This is great. Npr, two doses. How funny, man, you have to love this stuff. You gotta love it. They're doing very good things, man. So much fun. You almost can't enjoy that stuff enough. It's just that good. I love to see the memes and stuff. It's great. Jeff, The Chicago Bears. So this has been a big controversy in the football world, in the American football world here in the United States. You know, they call them for the Chicago Bears because they play in Chicago, Illinois. Well, the Chicago Bears say they're leaving Chicago, likely to move to Hammond, Indiana. They're being courted.
- [84:21]
A
Oh, yeah, they're being courted.
- [84:22]
B
This team says they can't afford the cost of taxes imposed by Democrats. They would have. They'd be set to pay 53 million in taxes per year on a stadium if they stay. So Mayor Brandon Johnson's lobbying against the mega projects bill, and without this bill, the team would pay 4,53 million per year in taxes on a stadium that they're gonna. They've been talking about building for five years, by the way, this committee, right?
- [84:45]
A
Yep.
- [84:46]
B
And because of moving to Arlington Heights isn't an option, they'll most likely leave for Indiana. The taxes in America are so.
- [84:51]
A
Imagine that. Imagine no longer the Chicago Bears.
- [84:56]
B
Well, I wish we could play. Bill Maher, mil. Bill Maher had a great commentary where he went off. He talked about Alabama is doing solar energy better than California. He said it took him a year and a half to get his solar things. He says they're doing it within a month in. In Alabama. He said the kids in Alabama on the math scores for third and fourth grade are five times what they are, and they spend about a third of what California. And what's the common denominator there? The leftist woke nut job. Left. That's exactly the common denominator. If you want to know exactly what the problem is. That's 100%.
- [85:30]
A
So crazy.
- [85:31]
B
Where the issue is, Jeff. And people want to parade around, call it for what it is. Forget about partisanship. The left is dead. Look what's happening in the uk, for example, right? So you have, you have. Starmer took one of the most heaviest losses of any prime minister and he's doubling down on stupid. He wants to do more censorship. He want like, dude, he got the loss.
- [85:50]
A
And the people and the. And the parliament, they're still letting him lead in. In chaos. So their party loses. He has a massive loss, and yet he's still in charge, still. Prime Minister, what's wrong with the parliamentary form of government?
- [86:04]
B
Well, plenty. But the problem is, is not him. The problem is, you know, is. Is Labor. Because the other problem is the Tories. The Tories are what we call Democrats here, and the labor is what we call left of the Democrats here. So you got left party and leftist party. And both of them were. Were ineffective. And people go like, well, the conservative Tory party part, I'm like, not by conservative values in the United States. They don't tick any of the boxes, right? So people saying that are largely mistaken. So this is one of my favorite things, Jeff. I have this on my desk here. Let me put this up here. Let me see here. Come on. All right, let me see it. There we go. There it is. Here it is right here. And this right here. It pretty much sums it up. Here it is right here. Let me try to put it on here. So here, right there, Jeff. Mistakes. So sinking ship. It says, it could be that the purpose of your life is only to serve as a warning to others mistakes. So this is. This is anybody you know on the left that their whole existence is to just be a warning. Warning. Danger, Will Robinson. Do avoid. Do not cross. And that's pretty good. This is, by the way, this guy had made a whole thing of this called despair dot com.
- [87:29]
A
Well, those used to be those motivational, right?
- [87:32]
B
This guy made. He made a whole thing on these.
- [87:36]
A
These despair instead of motivation.
- [87:38]
B
Well, I gotta tell you, this guy was brilliant, man. This is like. This came out in like the 90s. But you see, like this what achievement. You can do anything you set your mind to, especially when you have vision, determination and endless supply of expendable labor. Shows the pyramids Achievement.
- [87:50]
A
Oh my God.
- [87:51]
B
Acquisition, discovery. That you're no longer a big fish in a small pond or even a small fish in a big Pond. But a small fish and a big in a big fish.
- [88:01]
A
Look at that. Look how great that is. That's so funny. Fantastic adaption.
- [88:05]
B
How about this university? That which does not kill me postpones the inevitable agony. Not all pain is gain. And then affirmation. Instilling the self confidence. Kids will need to carry themselves through all the failure they'll experience because they weren't taught competence instead.
- [88:25]
A
That's right. Oh my God. Adversity.
- [88:28]
B
Adversity. Only you can come. You can only overcome almost any obstacle in life. As long as you haven't. Yeah, we read that one. And determination and extremely rich parents. Ambition. The journey of a thousand miles sometimes ends in a very, very badly. There you go. The trout going upstream into a bear's mouth. Apathy. One of these old dial up phones. I don't know if you still have that dial up phone in your desk, Jeff, but. Apathy. It's got cobwebs on it. Apathy. If we don't take care of the customer, maybe they'll stop bugging us. Arrogance. Here's a lion. It says the best leaders inspired by example. When that's not an option. Brute intimidation works pretty well too.
- [89:07]
A
Yeah. Oh my God. Awesome.
- [89:08]
B
Attitude. Your attitude determines your aptitude. Altitude. About as much as that platitude inspires my gratitude. That sounds like something Chad Nauseam would say. It sounds like his vocab right there. Attitude. If you can't handle me at my worst, you deserve to know. It's also my best aspiration. I can hear the call to do nothing. And I'm doing. I worked at a company and I. I did get these installed around there because you know, everybody's putting these stupid motivational posters up.
- [89:37]
A
Oh yeah, I used to love those. There was a shop that did that.
- [89:41]
B
We put those up instead.
- [89:42]
A
So that's what the store was called. Successory.
- [89:46]
B
Oh yeah.
- [89:47]
A
You remember that store.
- [89:49]
B
And it looked just like this. They had the big things so they went ahead and made a whole thing on it. You know, it was just fantastic stuff.
- [89:58]
A
Felt successful. Just walking in the store by the posters they would sell. The Franklin Planners.
- [90:05]
B
Yeah. One last one here. Bravery. It shows a guy surfing with a giant 80 foot wave behind him. Bravery. Every man dies, but not every man truly lives only to die of sheer stupidity.
- [90:17]
A
That's awesome.
- [90:20]
B
That's all we have today. How about that?
- [90:21]
A
Oh yeah. So I've been putting together a storyboard. Fortunately it's not quite done yet. It's almost done. It's assembling into a video Freaking amazing that this storyboard could come together. This was for Ozzy. I don't know if Ozzy is still here, but just to give him a little bit of a snippet of what he had asked for and said, hey, this would be. This would be great. Would love to have. Would love to have this in. But storyboard format would be so much better. Audio.
- [90:56]
B
Look at. There he is. Still here. Still here.
- [90:58]
A
Still here. All right, so this is just the beginning of it. Trying to see if I could delete something.
- [91:05]
B
Being very cryptic over there.
- [91:07]
A
Very cryptic. Very cryptic indeed.
- [91:10]
B
Cryptic stuff going on over there.
- [91:12]
A
Cryptic indeed. Keep a little sampling of the. Of the audio because it'd be better if the whole storyboard was here, but it's still prepping. Why it's not gonna wait.
- [91:25]
B
Why isn't the storyboard there, though?
- [91:27]
A
Oh, because it's still creating.
- [91:29]
B
Oh, I see. Gotcha.
- [91:31]
A
It's still in process, but it's freaking amazing. So let me see if I can even. Let me see if I can download one of these images to kind of give them. Here's. Here's a cool one right here. So let me see. Hang on one second.
- [91:44]
B
We can always play it tomorrow, Jeff.
- [91:46]
A
Yeah, that's. I want to play it tomorrow, but I would give a little sneak peek on.
- [91:51]
B
On where this is an AI video you're generating right now.
- [91:55]
A
Yeah. Yep, yep. So let me see if I can. I'll pull up the image while, you know, and then we'll factor in the rest. But then. Then we can play the song over it. This is just a little bit of a. A sampling.
- [92:14]
J
Is it delightful?
- [92:18]
A
It's definitely delightful. So here's. Here's a little bit of a sampling of where we're going with this thing. This is for Aussie. I'll play the. The beginning of it and then tomorrow we'll play the whole thing. But here we go
- [92:33]
K
20, 26, you know what time it is? They told us wait your turn Trust the system, pay the fees now yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah, yeah, yeah the legacy bank coming straight from the ledger 20w later in your payment still ain't better 3 day settlement man, that's prehistoric sending money overseas feel Jurassic in this story Got a suit in Manhattan saying trust the old rails Meanwhile every customer knows the system fails Charge a fee here, charge charge a fee there Middleman stacking paper while they sit in leather chair they said crypto was dead Then they launched a stable coin they said blockchain was useless now they trying to join funny how the tune changes when the money starts flowing.

- [93:56]
I
Is it risky?

B
Maybe, but we're gonna play it anyway.
- [94:01]
A
Very risky.
- [94:02]
B
Hell yeah. We're gonna be celebrating like it's Margarita Taco Tuesday.
- [94:08]
F
Margaritas.
- [94:16]
A
Crypto rap is whack, but the whack is Aussie ass for it.
- [94:21]
B
