Introduction

In this energetic episode of On The Chain, hosts Jeff and Chip delve deep into the latest developments surrounding XRP's surge toward its all-time high (ATH) of $3 and beyond. The conversation seamlessly weaves through cryptocurrency market movements, legal battles faced by Ripple, political influences impacting the digital asset space, and engaging community interactions, including NFT giveaways.

XRP Price Surge and Market Sentiment

Jeff kicks off the episode with exciting news about XRP's meteoric rise:

[00:00] Jeff: "XRP to all-time highs $3 and rising. @ least that's what everybody in X is saying. And that's what Coin Gecko is saying."

The hosts reflect on XRP's historical performance, noting its resilience and optimistic trajectory:

[37:18] Chip: "Nobody. Nobody cared. It had no effect. Isn't that fantastic?"

Jeff emphasizes the significance of XRP surpassing previous benchmarks:

[37:06] Jeff: "Chip, did you realize I didn't even realize that XRP actually hit $3.18 today? Yeah, I saw it hit 305."

SEC vs. Ripple Legal Proceedings

A significant portion of the discussion centers around the ongoing legal battle between the SEC and Ripple. Chip provides an overview of the latest legal maneuvers:

[02:58] Chip: "Stu Alderoti, general counsel for Ripple, says... the SEC lawsuit is just noise. A new era of pro-innovation regulations coming, and Ripple is thriving."

The hosts express skepticism about the SEC's intentions, especially with the impending change in administration:

[07:19] Jeff: "Parody. It's all parody."

[37:53] Jeff: "We're on our way as a market as a whole. I'm looking at some of the stocks... positivity finally after all this time."

Political Commentary and Election Impact

Jeff and Chip engage in a lively debate about the influence of political shifts on XRP and the broader crypto market. They discuss the potential return of Donald Trump to the White House and its implications:

[14:14] Chip: "You're right, it doesn't. It doesn't take that long."

[34:13] Chip: "That Obama, he thinks he's... He's thanking President Biden and Secretary Blinken for getting this deal done. Chef, they had nothing to do with it."

The hosts argue that Trump's assertive stance is beneficial for XRP's future, contrasting it with the perceived inaction of the Biden administration.

Hostage Deal in the Middle East

The conversation shifts to international affairs, specifically the recent deal facilitating the release of hostages in the Middle East. Chip highlights Trump's role in the negotiations:

[34:07] Jeff: "What'S that? The bin chicken."

[34:29] Jeff: "Trump at 13 cents. Yeah, but I'm saying 19 once it passes there, we're in like new territory."

Scott Jennings from CNN is featured, praising Trump's unwavering commitment:

[47:38] Jasmine Crockett: "I think we're going to end up paying a very heavy price in this deal... to get peace and to get our people back."

[49:23] Chip: "Right, everyone? Yeah, solid point, right, Joe?"

This segment underscores the belief that strong leadership is crucial in resolving international crises, which in turn positively affects market sentiments.

Crypto Market Overview

Jeff provides a snapshot of the current cryptocurrency landscape, noting significant movements in various assets:

[45:00] Chip: "Sometimes you see things that make sense here."

[45:21] Jeff: "You gotta love that extra P at 50 cents. I don't know. XRP at $4. Take my money. Take it all."

[46:03] Chip: "What is it? What's it say?"

The discussion includes mentions of Bitcoin rallying past $100,000, Sui outperforming XRP, and Stellar making notable gains:

[47:25] Jeff: "Trump at 13 cents."

[47:38] Jasmine Crockett: "...this administration's term in office will expire in five days."

The hosts remain bullish about XRP's prospects, citing exponential growth over the past decade and upcoming market realignments.

Community Interaction and Giveaways

Engaging the audience, Jeff and Chip launch a giveaway for "Badass Yeti" NFTs. They explain the process, encourage listeners to participate, and navigate through technical hiccups during the live transfer:

[09:56] Chip: "Move. Yeah. Heck, even Suleani Elon Musk. Yeah, I would say that."

[57:44] Chip: "We are live from the Gold Coast, Australia."

[60:55] Jeff: "Thomas Brennan wins. Thomas, are you here?"

Despite initial challenges in transferring the NFT to the winner's wallet, the hosts entertain the audience with humor and persistence:

[63:57] Chip: "Destination does not exist."

[74:01] Chip: "Gregory Hines was in that movie. And I got to hang out with Gregory Hines."

This segment highlights the community-driven nature of the podcast, fostering engagement and enthusiasm among listeners.

Closing Remarks

As the episode wraps up, Jeff and Chip look forward to the upcoming inauguration day, anticipating its impact on the crypto markets. They reiterate their optimism about XRP's continued growth and express gratitude towards their listeners:

XRP to all time highs $3 and rising. @ least that's what everybody in X is saying. And that's what Coin Gecko is saying. There's a lot of interesting commentary from the fanboys on YouTube and on X. We're going to dissect that workshop that we're going to get into. Some of the Stu Alderati commentary and some of the stuff that's been going on. Is there another legal document pending? At least there's some people talking about that. We got that. Some videos. We're also going to be giving away a cool ass badass Yetis. So get ready. Get your Zaman wallet ready. Get your yeti ready and get ready to win. That's what it's all about, Chip. Getting ready.

[Chip]

Let's go. Right. Let's put a. I think we need some. I think we still need some metal for tonight. We do need something like this.

[Jeff]

Yeah. If we're gonna be doing that, I need long hair.

[Chip]

We jamming head banging on that. I love it. It's good. It's good. I love it. One of these days I'm gonna cut this stuff, man. I'm gonna cut it really short. I'm gonna go. I'm gonna do. I'm gonna do. Well, maybe not as short as yours, but I'll get there. Pretty close.

[Jeff]

Look at that.

[Oscar]

Yeah.

[Chip]

I'm gonna put a compilation video of all different hairstyles I've had on this show.

[Jeff]

Be. Your hair will be going and I'll just be like.

[Chip]

Exactly. Just see. Do reverse show where I'll wear. I'll wear a, you know like a. A skin mat, what do you call it? Skin thing on your head, you know. And then you'll do. You'll wear a long wig and do the. We'll do an opposite.

[Jeff]

Dude, who's this character?

[Chip]

I don't even know who he is anymore. What the evening.

[Jeff]

Don't know who that guy is.

[Chip]

Oh. Good afternoon. Welcome everybody.

[Jeff]

Give a quick shout out where you're tuning in from. Unless you're from Iceland or something like that.

[Chip]

Oh, Iceland. Okay. Iceland's place. I'm going to Iceland one of these days. I mean it. I'm serious about it. I'm gonna go visit Oscar xrp. Have some beers. Be great. Be fantastic.

[Jeff]

Beers are expensive over there.

[Chip]

Well, I don't Care. It's gonna go a drink over there. It be great.

[Jeff]

That would be really cool. Go sit, have a beer overlooking one of the volcanoes.

[Chip]

Yeah, as long as it's not active, I'd be really happy with that. But if it's active, I'm not gonna be so happy about that. But, Jeff, you know, a lot of people in the X community and the XRP community, they're all upset in arms, are like, oh, did Ripple drop the. Did the SEC file it? And Jeff, here's what I see.

[Jeff]

What do you say?

[Chip]

Nobody cares. You know why? Because XRP is not a security and none of us gonna change it. You know what? Trust. Trump will be back in the White House in six days. They have a pro SEC chair coming in. He's going to point someone to look after it. Gensler's gone on the 20th, and you know what that means. Smooth sailing. None of this matters. You know, it's so dumb. So Jimmy finally dropped this XRP community. You know, the SEC's filed its opening brief. So what? That's what I say. Who cares? Jeremy Hogan brought. Okay, it's got on Jeremy Hogan for the. For the fun stuff. He says, poor attorney Ezekiel, he's going to be exiled just like his namesake in the Bible, except by the SEC instead of what does. How do you say that, Jeff? Yeah. I always knew reading the Old Testament would come in handy someday. Yeah, that's right. And it came in handy. Ezekiel's getting exiled. That's funny. Yeah. And I said, none of this matters in six days, right? Boom. To the moon. And people are worried. SCC argues whether investors are led to say none of this. Look, the SEC's done. Gensler's gone. Wrap it up. It doesn't matter anymore. Drop where you guys are coming in from, please. Drop where you're coming. Where are you coming in from?

[Jeff]

To the moon.

[Chip]

Oh, gee, Louie, the moon right there. Yeah. I'm so happy.

[Jeff]

Green like. Rod's from Greenland. No, he's not.

[Chip]

Nobody's from Greenland. The people from Greenland aren't even from Greenland. They're. They're from Denmark.

[Jeff]

Soon people from Greenland will be from the usa.

[Chip]

Yeah. To the moon. So. So one of the things is, when we. When we think about this, like, this, this. I mean, what's really going to happen? What are they going to do? Like. And. And it's not. People are worried about price. Well, last time I checked in 2020, when the last lawsuit was filed against that, we had one of the nice, nicer sort of runs. It went up to like a buck 85, right? From down to 20 cents up to a dollar 85. And unfortunately, my friends got in around a dollar 60. They're like, I knew you. I knew XRP would go. So two guys that I had, two ex colleagues of mine that I got in many years ago, are now texting me, xrp, xrp. I'm like, okay, yeah. But then I got the Australia's in the house. Love it. Then I got the, the. The cooling off of what's going on with xrp. How come it's not doing anything? Why is it at 50 cents, I'm like, look, I don't control the prices. Canada. Yeah.

[Jeff]

Caroline, what is going on? Caroline? Caroline Conroe, Texas.

[Chip]

You know what? You know, it's sweet. No, I'm not doing dreadlocks. No dreadlocks. I'll cut it. That's fine. My next move is just cutting it. That'll be the next move. Slovakia loves it. Loves it.

[Jeff]

Rod has got his bags packed. He's ready for the moonshot.

[Chip]

Well, I think we're all ready for the moonshot. I mean, what's not to want to like? But look at this, Jeff. Stu Alderotti, general counsel for Ripple, says, as expected, the SEC's appeal brief is a rehash of already failed arguments and likely to be abandoned by the next administration. Will respond formally in due time, which means we'll probably never have to respond. For now, know this. The SEC lawsuit is just noise. A new era of pro innovation regulations coming, and Ripple is thriving. And all we have to do is look at the photo of Stu Alderotti, Brad Garlinghouse, and President Trump, right? At Mar A Lago we gotta see. Just kind of like casually sort of like hanging out, having dinner, you know, Nothing, nothing, nothing. All that, all that big of a deal. And here's. So Stu's saying the same thing. And then Garlinghouse came in here and he said that one definition of insanity. Doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. Gensler's SEC really took this to heart. And then out the door, he's trying. He's trying to sue Elon Musk. Like, he hasn't. Like, it's just. It's comical at this point. I mean, it's pure comedy. It's parody at this point, right? Man, it's insane. I don't know.

[Jeff]

Parody. It's all parody.

[Chip]

Gensler, very much on brand, completely dismissive of the 2024 election and the American public fully commits to his failed regulation by enforcement agenda to the Bitter, bitter end. Sad. All was missing with there was sad ha. Like Charlie Gasparrito does all the time. Maybe, but sad ha. But it is hashtag sad. But you know, you want to take a few shots out the door. They know it, it doesn't mean anything. I mean it's, it's kind of comical, isn't it Jeff?

[Jeff]

Don't you think it, you know, I'm watching, I'm watching the exit. You know, Gensler, the sec, you know, filing last ditch lawsuits. Biden taking claim and credit for things that he has no capacity of. You know, we've got five days left. And on the sixth day everything was great again. Because by January 21st it's gonna be a whole new world. It's already starting. We're, we're kind of like in the, the pre show of the new world. We're getting back on track. It was like four years ago we were in this universe and we're going from point A to infinity and then all of a sudden we jumped universe where now we're, we're up. We've been operating for four years in a parallel universe. It's not even. The realities don't even intersect and so we like bounce. And now we bought Brat. We've been brought back into kind of into alignment and so January 21st be the beginning of that realignment, so to speak. Got Dean Robinson. Evening guys. It's NASCAR gang from Minnesota.

[Chip]

All right.

[Jeff]

You know, land of the idiot government.

[Chip]

Yeah, Tampon Tim. We heard hardcore holders XRP and we were happy buds. Yeah, and I was happy to see XDC up as well, Jeff. I mean so that was a 13 cents and an all time high is 19 and that's so undervalued. They have so many great things happen. We don't talk enough about XCC and all the good things that are happening. Pablo Martinez. This administration has been a clown show from the beginning. Really?

[Jeff]

I didn't notice.

[Chip]

So maybe I should go back and review. We have one entry for the yeti. Type in yeti. Guys, if you want to win a badass yeti nft, I gotta pull up the one where. Look what it is, Jeff. I mean you've been stalling all this time. I don't know what it is.

[Jeff]

We don't know yet. Yeah, we will find out momentarily.

[Chip]

Move. Yeah. Heck, even Sulani Elon Musk. Yeah, I would say that. Yeah. You wouldn't see pretty much what we're gonna do.

[Jeff]

We haven't done this.

[Chip]

Look at this. I love this. So there was a Brad Garlinghouse made a response and I wanted to go back and find it. December 2, 2024. And this is all you have to know, the big salute after Gensler. All boats rise. Q. And you know, I saw an influencer. You know how, you know XRP is doing. Well, I've seen so many people making videos about xrp. I've never seen him before. But it's a good side because that means a lot of people are excited. But one of the influencers or guys making these videos referred to President Trump as President Pump. President Pump. So I thought that was after Gensler. All boats rise. Exactly. Well, after Gensler's on the 20th, remember Mel Carmine was calling for an $8 XRP by the inauguration. I texted him today and said, we got some work to do. You know, we got a little bit of, we got a little bit of work to do. We got $5 more to rise here. And then you will be a seer. You will, you'll be highly regarded as a seer, which would be fantastic. So that's a, that's a good thing. Today was a, there was a hearing, Jeff, Pam Bondi, who, who was our Attorney General in Florida for many years. And she was, she was good, she was tough. And boy, she. Democrats really gave her a once over. They were really, they were kind of harsh. But I've got some of that I wanted to pull up and. But she's tough, man. I'm telling you what she does not, she does not bend easily. Here's one. So here's one of the tips she got into today. Let's watch this.

[Pam Bondi]

I will be. I'm speaking. Your job will be to.

[Chip]

You see that? I'm Jeff, he gave, he actually did the finger. I'm speaking.

[Jeff]

I'm speaking.

[Chip]

I'm speaking. What's this? Listen, woman, I'm speaking. Listen, here it is right here. Ready?

[Pam Bondi]

Your job will be. I'm speaking. Your job will be to protect voters and election workers, not to undermine and dox them. Now, I know that earlier you agreed that Joe Biden is in fact president. But many of the President Elect's inner circle continue to spread the big lie about the 2020 election. Then we'll move on to a different topic.

[Jasmine Crockett]

May I speak? You come ask you the next question.

[Pam Bondi]

You can speak and I Hope you answer, Ms. Bondi.

[Jasmine Crockett]

Now, when we met yesterday, Senator, when we met yesterday, you pointed your finger at me and said you did not seem to be familiar with. Let me answer my question. I'm not going to be bullied the.

[Pam Bondi]

14Th Amendment of the United States of America, which was deeply disappointing.

[Jasmine Crockett]

I guess you want to hear my.

[Pam Bondi]

Answer today after I gave an opportunity to study overnight. So can you tell me in this committee what the citizenship clause of the 14th Amendment says?

[Jasmine Crockett]

Senator, I'm here to answer your questions. I'm not here to do your homework and study for you. If I am confirmed as a judge.

[Pam Bondi]

You're the one asking for a confirmation.

[Jasmine Crockett]

You cut me off. Can I please finish?

[Pam Bondi]

What does the 14th Amendment say, Senator?

[Jasmine Crockett]

Senator. The 14th Amendment, we all know, addresses birthright citizenship. I've been a state prosecutor, I've been a state ag. I look forward to even given your remarks today, working with you and the people of California, if I am confirmed as the 87th Attorney General of the United States of America. I didn't take your homework assignment. I'm sorry. I was preparing for today.

[Chip]

Not taking any of it.

[Jeff]

You gotta love Ann Bondi.

[Chip]

She's not taking any of it. And Jeff, we saw this as the Attorney General of Florida time and time again. Like, this might be new for some people, but we saw it over and over again. She is just tough as nails. And what's odd, Jeff, is this. This woman is 59 years old. I didn't know she was 59. Looked it up.

[Jeff]

I didn't know that. Really?

[Chip]

How is she 59? I mean, my God, she does not look. I thought she was in her 40s. I don't know.

[Jeff]

She doesn't look a day over 58.

[Chip]

No, not a day over 58. Not a day. Not a day at all. She looks fantastic. That's what I was thinking.

[Jeff]

Oscar said. Funny how you can always tell within two seconds which side is which and you could tell so quickly.

[Chip]

You're right, it doesn't. It doesn't take that long. You know she was talking with. With Pencil Neck. You know who that is, right? Adam Schiff.

[Jeff]

Shifty shift.

[Chip]

Shifty Shift. She was talking with. And member Trump calls him Pencil Neck. But she was talking with him and someone had a little fun. Took a little liberty with the. Hey, what was that? Who was that? Was that Berserker? Who's that there? Lower level.

[Jeff]

Lower level.

[Chip]

Boys, what's up?

[Jeff]

Democrats don't give a damn about. They want their three minutes on tv.

[Chip]

Just want to have interference more about public, you know, speaking, whatever. So here we go. Someone took a little liberty. I'm just going to say that.

[Jeff]

Will it be your advice to the President? No, Mr. President. I need to go over them on a case by case basis. Do not issue blanket pardons. Will that be advice to the president, Senator?

[Jasmine Crockett]

I have not looked at any of those.

[Chip]

Someone, someone made him, really made him pencil neck. So yeah, here's another exchange here.

[Jeff]

Greg is saying they used to make it more discreet. Now they just do it right in front of your face. They don't care. It's just up, just right there out there in the open. They don't care what people think. You know how they, they just, they just assume everybody's coalesced behind them. They're going to keep getting away with their nonsense. Another thing's coming. It's a whole different universe. They entered into it.

[Adam Schiff]

Absolutely no worry about divulging law enforcement sensitive information. So just tell us, are you aware, please tell us, are you aware of a factual predicate to investigate Jack Smith, yes or no?

[Jasmine Crockett]

Senator, what I'm hearing on the news.

[Jeff]

Are you aware of a.

[Jasmine Crockett]

Do I know if you crime? I have not.

[Adam Schiff]

You seem reluctant to answer a simple question. Let me ask you a different simple question. The President also wants to jail Liz Cheney. Sitting here today, are you aware of any factual basis to investigate Liz Cheney? Yes or no?

[Jasmine Crockett]

Senator, that's a hypothetical and I'm not going to answer.

[Adam Schiff]

No, it's not hypothetical. I'm asking you sitting here today whether you are aware of a factual predicate to investigate Liz Cheney.

[Jasmine Crockett]

Senator, no one has asked me to investigate Liz Cheney. That is a hypothetical.

[Adam Schiff]

President has called for it publicly. You are aware of that, aren't you?

[Jasmine Crockett]

No one has asked me to investigate.

[Adam Schiff]

But the President has called me.

[Jasmine Crockett]

We're also worried about this. Cheney's.

[Adam Schiff]

The president has called for it.

[Jasmine Crockett]

You know what we should be worried about?

[Adam Schiff]

Ms. Bondi, please answer my question.

[Jeff]

You are aware of the roof, Ms.

[Jasmine Crockett]

Bondi, your robberies are 87% higher than the national question. Is this, that's what I want to focus on.

[Adam Schiff]

Senator, do you have the power to.

[Chip]

Say no to the president?

[Adam Schiff]

And what you're suggesting today by your non answer is you don't have the independence to say no to the President. So let me ask you a different question. It also requires you, if you're going to be a good attorney general, to be able to tell hard truths to the president. So my questions now are can you tell hard truth to the president? So let me start with an easy truth that you could speak to the President. Can you tell us, can you tell him that Donald Trump lost the 2020 election? Can you say that? Do you have the independence to say that? Do you have the gravitas, the Stature, the testimonial fortitude to say, Donald Trump, you lost the 2020 election. Can you tell us that here today?

[Jasmine Crockett]

Senator, what I can tell you is I will never play politics. You're trying to engage me in a gotcha. I want you to speak truth with any ongoing power.

[Adam Schiff]

So let me ask you another.

[Jasmine Crockett]

Like you did leading your Devin Nunes memo.

[Adam Schiff]

If you can't answer the question, let me ask you a different. What should be a simple truth, not a hard one. Was there massive fraud affecting the result of the 2020 election? Yes or no?

[Jasmine Crockett]

Senator, I'm glad you asked that question. If you'll let me answer what I saw in Pennsylvania.

[Adam Schiff]

No, I asked a simple question about massive fraud.

[Jasmine Crockett]

I can only tell you what I saw.

[Adam Schiff]

I know you want to answer a different question, but my question is, can you tell us whether there was massive fraud affecting the results of the 2020 election? Yes or no? Was there or was there?

[Jasmine Crockett]

I'll tell you what I saw when I went.

[Adam Schiff]

That's not. That's not my question.

[Chip]

So.

[Adam Schiff]

So you can't answer that question. You can't speak that even easy truth to us, let alone to the president. So let me ask you a different question.

[Chip]

Please do.

[Adam Schiff]

It will also be important that you give good advice to the president. Are you prepared to advise the President not to pardon people who beat police officers?

[Jasmine Crockett]

Senator, as I said, the pardons are at the direction of the President. We will look and we will advise. I will look at every case on a case. Let me finish on a case by case basis.

[Adam Schiff]

Okay, good.

[Jasmine Crockett]

I abhor violence to police officers.

[Adam Schiff]

Follow up with that. So will it be your advice to the President? Mr. President, I know you said you want to issue hundreds of pardons on day one. Will it be your advice to the President? No, Mr. President. I need to go over them on a case by case basis. Do not issue blanket pardons. Will that be your advice to the president?

[Jasmine Crockett]

Senator, I have not looked at any of those files. If confirmed, I will look at the files.

[Adam Schiff]

And will you be able to do. Will you be able to review hundreds of cases on day one?

[Jasmine Crockett]

I will look at every file. I am.

[Adam Schiff]

Of course you won't. So will you advise the President?

[Jasmine Crockett]

Can I answer the question?

[Adam Schiff]

Well, my question.

[Jasmine Crockett]

I would have plenty of staff, you said. Of course you want.

[Chip]

You.

[Adam Schiff]

You'll be able to review.

[Jasmine Crockett]

I'm not going to mislead this body, nor you.

[Chip]

All right.

[Adam Schiff]

Let me ask another question. You don't want to answer that. Let me ask.

[Jasmine Crockett]

You were censured by Congress.

[Chip]

She'S like hitting him with. You've been censured, you know? Yeah, she was. I mean it's just unbelievable. I mean, wow, she's tough. Go ahead, show up, put that video up there. I mean the Yeti.

[Jeff]

I'm gonna, I'm gonna put this video up here, right here. So this we decided we're picking one of the little prowlers. These guys are small, cute, cuddly and deadly. So don't wander around the forest alone. If you do, these guys are waiting for you. That's, that's all you got to think about. They look cool, but check out, man, what's that?

[Chip]

Take you apart.

[Jeff]

It will take you apart. Check that out. Look at these. The grommets go just nice and like cuddly. That guy is, man, he looks so cute. He's got his little sword crystal glow to it. That is a kick ass. That's exactly how they lure you in, man. You think it's nice, you're excited, you're happy. Like, look at that badass Yeti go hang out with them. Boom, that's it, done. So we're giving that guy away. You got the word? The word of the day is Yeti Yet.

[Chip]

Name of my dog is Yeti. Every time you go to take him to the vet or take him to the grooming. What's his name? Yeti. Oh my God, I love that name. I go, if you love that name, you don't love some NFTs. I'll tell you right now.

[Jeff]

That's it.

[Chip]

I gotta cut this because of the music. This is just a quick hitter.

[Scott Jennings]

Question of constitutional interpretation.

[Jeff]

Is President elect Trump eligible to run for another term as president in 2028?

[Jasmine Crockett]

Well, I hadn't thought about that, but to be honest, Trump, 2028 sounds awesome.

[Chip]

You gotta love the memes, man. They are fantastic. Man. Man, oh man, oh man.

[Jeff]

Got him. Look at his badass Yeti over there. Love seeing all the badass yetis popping up as avatars. A lot of people we haven't seen in a little bit too popping in here. Jeff Rome. What's going on, Jeff, man, We got coast to coast, which is really cool. We got people coming in from coast to coast in the us we got all the way over to Slovakia, probably late over there. Iceland then if you hop about 14 hours into the future, so about 10am and that's where you've got the Australian contingent. So you got the whole contingent over there in Australia. I know it's probably different hours, you know, across Australia, but that's pretty cool. They're all down under over there somewhere where the toilet's flush in the opposite direction. Chip.

[Chip]

Yes, I do.

[Jeff]

Did you check that one? I forgot to look. I didn't even check it. Totally forgot to check it.

[Chip]

I don't think it did. I think we talked. Did we talk about that there?

[Jeff]

We probably did. Maybe on the way there. Never looked.

[Chip]

I don't care that much about it. I mean, I don't know.

[Jeff]

You know what? Probably because it doesn't exist. Maybe it's like kangaroos and koala bears.

[Chip]

We didn't see one of them, dude. Not a wall. I mean, nothing. Nothing. Not those weird birds too. I heard the birds. I heard the. What are they called? Cuckoo. What are they. What are the name of those weird birds they have in Australia?

[Jeff]

Kind of squawking.

[Chip]

Someone will tell them.

[Jeff]

I don't know. Because they don't exist. We saw. We saw none of the above. We are promised kangaroos on the golf course and at least a koala bear hanging out of a tree. Something.

[Chip]

We also promised flying cars. And I'm still waiting for that. Oh, it didn't happen either. So I guess it's all part of the same sort of a. Same sort of thing. It's not a dodo bird.

[Jeff]

In Australia.

[Chip]

I bought a keychain of it. My wife has the keychain of it. I don't know what it's called. Someone will come in here with it.

[Jeff]

Australia. There you are today.

[Chip]

Listen, fab, I need to know what the name of that Australian bird is. It's got like a long beak, I think. It's not the dodo.

[Jeff]

The bin chicken.

[Chip]

Cookamoni. I don't know what it's called.

[Jeff]

Talking about the one with a thin beak. The bin chicken.

[Chip]

Not the bin chicken, dude. No, not the bin chicken. By the way, I thought. By the way, I was up in Canada. I had. I had to buy. I thought of our friend who had to go. Don't you remember when we had. We had to travel to go find a. An Australian mug of Starbucks that had it have, say, the Australian signal on it. And Tommy had to find it. And so I gotta send Tommy a picture of mine because I've got the official Canada one and it is badass, dude. It's got a moose on there. It's got everything. It's got the whole scene. It's the best one I saw. And I thought, yeah, buy this. It was in the airport. I'm like, yeah, let me. Let me buy this. Why not? Why Would I buy this? It's fantastic.

[Jeff]

So. And it was it the Starbucks version.

[Chip]

Nice sized cup too, you know, and it was like 24 bucks Canadian, and. And I got a little coffee and it was like. I'm like, I don't know. This is how much I have in my phone. So I like, can you scan it? I think I have enough here. He's like, yeah, it was American. He's like, yeah, it was American. That makes sense. So it's scanned fine. But, yeah, I gotta. I gotta send Tommy the picture of that chip.

[Jeff]

There's the kuka. Kuka.

[Chip]

That's it. That's the one. The kookaburra. That's the one. Yes, that is it.

[Jeff]

And then one after another. Kiwi or the kookaburra.

[Chip]

Yeah, the kookaburra is what I was thinking about. But we did see a giant spider, Jeff. That was about the best thing we saw. Like, they do have crazy spiders and spiders.

[Jeff]

And I think we saw a snake, but the snake wasn't crazy. We went on a bridge that was swaying. That was kind of cool.

[Chip]

Yeah, it was kind of cool until like, 10 people got on it and it was like, doing this. I was like, I'm getting off. This is weird because you're like, oh, it's perfectly safe. Until that one day when it's not. Two Americans visiting Australia met their untimely demise because they were stupid enough to go on a sway in Bridge with 15 or 20 people. Like, I was standing out there myself. There was like a family, and I'm like, is this moving? And then here comes the crowd that we were with. And then like, yep, it's moving.

[Jeff]

It was definitely moving.

[Chip]

Yeah, it's moving quite a bit.

[Jeff]

We found the Irish pub up in the mountains.

[Chip]

Fantastic. I tell you, there are some times.

[Jeff]

There'S nothing better than that when you're driving through the mountains and you run into an Irish pub. And of course you got to stop.

[Chip]

This is Adam Schiff. He fell asleep in the hearings today. Look at him sleeping, Jeff. The hearings. Totally out. Totally out. I hear snoring. I think that was probably dozen. I don't think you're there. It was. I don't think you would have heard of snoring from that far away, but I thought that was pretty good. I mean, here he is, the shifter. He's. He's. He's sitting there snoring. That's funny.

[Jeff]

Where was. Oh, here we go. This is what I was looking for. Let me see if I can pull this up here.

[Chip]

And then yesterday we had Pete Hegseth was. Was being grilled and he. The best exchange he had was with Elizabeth Warren and people cracked up and he shut her down. This is great. Now somebody took a little liberty with this video. I'm just saying this is not the original video. But it's not quite sure that every general who serves should not go directly.

[Jasmine Crockett]

Into the defense industry for 10 years. You're not willing to make that same pledge.

[Oscar]

I'm not a general senator.

[Chip]

Look at the dude next door. He can't take it anymore. He's just like, please, why do I have to sit next to this senator?

[Scott Jennings]

General senator.

[Chip]

Everybody started cracking up. I'm not a general senator. Fantastic. I gotta love that. That is some good stuff right there, man. Pete.

[Jeff]

Here we go, Chip.

[Chip]

Well, there you go. There we are. I don't hear any audio. Is there audio?

[Jeff]

Oh, I forgot to show the audio.

[Chip]

Come on, man. Yeah, that's.

[Jeff]

I wish you could just go and edit it. You can't even. You gotta like, stop the screen share only to re share. They should just have a switch. Be like, oh, you want to turn the audio on because you forgot about it. Yeah, I would like to do that. Love to just turn it on.

[Chip]

It's over here at Driving Matt is our professional tour drive. So tour driver. And so we driving to the mountains. Look at this beautiful scenery, guys.

[Jeff]

Look at that. Oh, man.

[Chip]

Gorgeous. And we're not too far outside of the Gold Coast. I mean, we were driving for maybe 13 minutes. Yep. So like, the beach is maybe 20 away. Horses. It's a part you're not expecting to see.

[Jeff]

Nary a kangaroo.

[Chip]

I don't know. I hope we got a good signal. Might be tough to know for sure. Somebody was like, jeff, blink your eyes if you're being. If you're being kidnapped. That's pretty funny. Jeff, why don't you jump on the channel and see if you can see anything? Yeah. Scroll out to where we got out of the vehicle. I think we got out and started walking.

[Jeff]

Did we ever get out?

[Chip]

Yeah, we did. I'm not sure we have any. This is. We are live from the Gold Coast, Australia.

[Jeff]

We ever get out of the car?

[Chip]

I don't know.

[Jeff]

I feel like we're in the car.

[Chip]

The whole time we got out. 30 hours. There we go. And there's almost a hit and run.

[Jeff]

Are you ready to see your brand on tv? You're serious?

[Chip]

You'll have to hide that. And what the heck. Turn off the volume and just play through this. You know, what the heck?

[Jeff]

Even Though it's our ad playing.

[Chip]

Well, I know. Our own ads playing in our own video that we're showing. That's funny. How funny is that? Look at that beautiful scenery right there. We did it soccer mom style. Because that's the way it was.

[Jeff]

It was kind of. I can't remember if it was rainy or not. There we go.

[Chip]

Jeff. Go, Jeff. This is Jeff taking a picture of the beautiful scenery. Boring live stream, Jeff. All right, you tourist. I don't know.

[Jeff]

We're taking a picture over there.

[Chip]

I can't even take any photos doing the live.

[Jeff]

So we're in somebody's backyard taking a picture of the backyard. Just make sure they're good, Jeff.

[Chip]

Just make sure it's beautiful, man. Yeah, you guys should hook up with Pepe. Look at that, man.

[Jeff]

Look at that hair Chip.

[Chip]

Look at that volcanic. Volcanic ash there. Volcanic gas. Nice. Look at that, dude. I just, like. I was worried about that because that, like, one wrong move and you're tumbling down that hill. It looking on this video. But it was very steep, man.

[Jeff]

And we kept going to the edge.

[Chip]

We kept going. I felt like it was a little bit wet there. I was like, I don't know, man, because, you know, a little slip and you're down there. I'm like, no, I don't want that. No, thanks.

[Adam Schiff]

That's good.

[Chip]

Oh, yeah, it's good.

[Jeff]

See what else we got.

[Chip]

That's it, Jeff. It's pretty boring live stream, really. Just us kind of hanging out. It was windy. I remember that. Windy and a little rainy. So there you go.

[Jeff]

To the pub.

[Chip]

We've got a lot of photos, though.

[Jeff]

Yeah, there you go. It's Mode. It was definitely Mode. Yes, it was. Who's here? Right, Rob.

[Chip]

We were just talking about Tommy that I have to send in the picture of the Canadian, you know, Starbucks mug that I got. See if he has it. I'm sure he does, but I was thinking about him. I'm like, I gotta buy that just so I can take a picture and give it. Send it to Bin Chicken.

[Jeff]

You should have taken one right away. Yeah, Reminds me.

[Chip]

American tourists anywhere, dude.

[Jeff]

Reminds me of the Canadian tour. It's an American tourist here in Miami in Fort Lauderdale.

[Chip]

We wouldn't act like that if it wasn't on camera, though. We would have just been take a picture and, like, get in the car and go. That's pretty much it.

[Jeff]

Yeah. And sit there talking true.

[Chip]

Just trying to fill some time.

[Jeff]

Waza.

[Chip]

Just waza's here. Oi, oy. Oi, oi, oi. WAZA is here. So what else we got here that was pretty fun? Jeff dripping down memory lane. And then we never did another live. We were just busy. It was back to back.

[Jeff]

We had so many plans to do more. None. Nope, man. It was his birthday. Happy birthday to the bin chicken.

[Chip]

No, it was his birthday. I got you, man. Did you ever give him those. Those socks with the Ben chickens on them or what? You get in the pants. One of them.

[Jeff]

He did right there. I got him bin chicken socks for his birthday.

[Chip]

What did he say about the Ben chicken socks? I gotta hear this. So Rob and Tommy, his best buddy Tommy, came to Australia. We did a lot of hanging out together. And. And the. I don't even know what kind of birds those are, but they call them bin chickens because they hang around the garbage bins. So he got the nickname Bin Chicken on the. On the trip, which he loved. Of course, he got a couple guy gifts too, which I have a good video of. And oh, man, that was a good thin chickens. Like, oh, my God. Chicken's the greatest thing ever.

[Jeff]

We're at the health food store. We came out of the. The health food grocery store.

[Chip]

Funny man. Some goofy gift. I remember that. So he was not happy. He's like, oh, cool, you got me a gift. Oh, not cool. He wasn't. He was like, not so happy about it after that.

[Jeff]

John's talking about a cockatoo either.

[Chip]

Cockatoo. Yeah, we saw.

[Jeff]

We have peacocks here.

[Chip]

Yeah, peacocks. And so here we go. I wanted to talk a little bit about this right here. First of all, let's put this up. This is Trump one week ago, and this is the second time he said it about the hostages. And we found. Got word today that a deal has been reached.

[Jeff]

Those hostages aren't back. I don't want to hurt your negotiation. If they're not back by the time.

[Adam Schiff]

I get into office, all hell will.

[Jeff]

Break out in the Middle east and.

[Adam Schiff]

It will not be good for Hamas.

[Jeff]

And it will not be good, frankly, for anyone. All hell will break out. I don't have to say anymore, but that's what it is.

[Chip]

That was one week ago. And then we saw. There's his ex post. We have a deal for the hostages in the Middle East. They will be released shortly. Thank you. There it is. However, Jeff, what did you. Wouldn't you know it, but somebody's trying to take credit for it. Yeah, that's right. Biden was trying to take. Immediately. Immediately.

[Jeff]

He tried taking credit for it today.

[Chip]

So I got. I think I have that video. Do I have that? Here it is. So here we go. I should have just played this video.

[Jeff]

Credit for this, Mr. President.

[Jasmine Crockett]

You or Trump?

[Chip]

Who takes credit for it? You're Trump. Is that a joke? Oh, no, you're the joke. Thank you.

[Jeff]

If those hostages aren't back, I don't want to hurt. Hurt your negotiation.

[Chip]

Yeah, there it is right there. I mean, so that was pretty much it. But then, Jeff, the biggest loser, I mean, obviously you know that. Obviously that Kamala Harris was not. Well, look, no one thought she was going to win. I mean, so maybe some people did. I don't think even her campaign thought. But the biggest loser was Barack Hussein Obama. He said. Oh, look at all this winded thing. The ceasefire and hostage release deal announced between Israel and Hamas is good news for families of the hostages taken on October 7th. For the Palestinian million civilians who suffered for more than a year, and for everyone who's paid or prayed for an end to this horrible chapter, it's important to recognize that no deal, including this one, can ease the pain and blah, blah, blah. That's something we should all support. Get this. Here's the kicker. That's something we all should support. I'm grateful to President Biden, Secretary Blinken and the leaders and diplomatic teams from around the world who work so hard to get this done.

[Jeff]

Well said.

[Chip]

That Obama, he thinks that he's. He's thanking President Biden and Secretary Blinken for getting the deal done. Chef, they had nothing to do with it.

[Jeff]

We know the truth. You know that thing? You know that?

[Chip]

I mean, seriously, Jeff, it's insane, but I mean, his own had the video here. I could find. I have so many damn videos here. Where is the video? Did I not download it for the hostages? Maybe I didn't. Oh, my gosh. Where is it?

[Jeff]

Chip, did you realize. I didn't even realize that XRP actually hit $3.18 today? Yeah, I saw it hit 305.

[Chip]

Oh, I went to 318.

[Jeff]

310.

[Chip]

I saw it at 317.

[Jeff]

318. At exactly 651. That's crazy. Crazy time. Look at this ramp up. What was going on today? We saw bitcoin. Bitcoin picked up a little bit of a rally. XRP picked up a rally. Little bit of excitement. The hostage dealer deal. There's something. There's something else going on, though.

[Chip]

The SEC filed their.

[Jeff]

SEC filed their. Their event there.

[Chip]

Nobody. Nobody cared. It had no effect. Isn't that fantastic? So here is. Here is. Here is Biden's State Department, Jeff.

[Oscar]

To the involvement of President Elect Trump's team. It has been absolutely critical in getting this deal over the line. And it's been critical because obviously, as I stand here today, this administration's term in office will expire in five days. And one of the things that we have always said about this deal is that when you get from stage one to stage two, that the United States, Egypt and Qatar are the guarantors of this deal. And Egypt and Qatar will push Hamas to stay at the bargaining table and to get from stage one to stage two, and the United States will push Israel to stay at the bargaining table to get from phase one and phase two, too. So obviously, those are promises we cannot make on behalf of the United States for any longer than the next five days.

[Chip]

So there you go. Credited President Trump. Meanwhile, Biden's over there. I mean, it's just. I mean, I don't even know what to say, Jeff. It's just. It's so pathetic. I mean, it's just like the SEC filing these things on the way out the door. It's like. It's like petty school children. I mean, it's like, oh, I'm gonna take a shot at you as you, like, walk out the door. So you know what I said? Not a lot, Jeff. Usually pretty high winded, but this time I was pretty succinct. I commented on Biden or Obama's thing. I said, this kind of delusional thinking is exactly why Trump won. What's next? Are you going to thank Biden for the booming economy? Well, no. Biden's out there saying, I'm handling Trump the best economy. If it was the best economy, dude, you would have got reelected. Your predecessor would have got reelected. I mean, yeah, come on. But no, it's not exactly how it went down. Did you know that there was a fight today in Congress, Jeff? And it wasn't between men, it was between women.

[Jeff]

Nice.

[Chip]

That's right. Nancy Mace and Jasmine Crockett. Jasmine Crockett said something Nancy Mace didn't like, and I thought they were going to throw it out. I liked what Nancy Mace said.

[Jeff]

These campaign coffers really are struggling right now.

[Chip]

So she gonna keep saying trans, trans, trans so that people will feel threatened and. Child, listen, I. I want y'all.

[Jasmine Crockett]

Do not call me a child.

[Chip]

I am no child. Which of those emails you will not do? I am reclaiming my time.

[Jasmine Crockett]

You want to take it outside?

[Pam Bondi]

Mr. Chairman, the committee is not in order.

[Chip]

Order, order.

[Jeff]

Point of order. Point of order.

[Chip]

Order, order. Order. Order. That was great. You want to take it outside? It's called her child. I'm not child. I'm a grown woman. Just call me child. That's fantastic. Real life, man. This is like real life. It's insane. She was like calling around females. I broke more glass ceilings and broke more. I mean God, it was a. It was a throwdown, man. They were insane. Holy cow.

[Jeff]

What do you do? Broadcasting. Give me that mic. I expect extra XRP to put a dent in the world. We're on the way. Well, we're on the way to 304 tomorrow. Then we'll be on the way when.

[Chip]

We hit 5, 10, 15, 20. Then we're on our way. Right now it's just, you know, what should have happened three, four years ago. But we're. Then we'll be on our way. We're not.

[Jeff]

When we hit all time highs. Yeah is coin gecko. Coin gecko still shows all time high. $3 and 40 cents seven years ago. We haven't even hit an all time high from seven years ago yet. So we're getting close. But it was more than 340. It was like 380. And so when, when we break the all time highs and we're getting close, it's. It's definitely, you know, touching up and, and it's a. It's really impressive. But let's hit the coin geckos all time high. Let's hit the bit stamp all time high. And then all of a sudden, you know, then we're in play. Which things are. The motion is there. I mean everything is moving at a pretty exponential rate over the past decade. We want to look at 10 years, Chip. Look at that movement. 112. Almost 113. 113 000. I mean 113 000. If you got in at point 002, you'd be, you'd be loving life right about now at that $3 and 18 cents or 3, 5. The crate. But it's amazing that after all this time, Chip. And that's really, you know, the positive. I think it's still. Let's wait till Monday. Positivity is coming up. People are gaining some perspective and getting excited because we are five days out. There was a huge boost because of the election. Turnover of administration. People were definitely leveraging that excitement and positivity finally after all this time. And here we go, you know, here we get ready to. To move on the 20th. By the 21st all the markets are really going to start making a massive Change. And that's. And that's going to be exciting. You know, we're. We're on our way as a market as a whole. I'm looking at some of the stocks. Stocks dip back a little bit over the. Over the past week. But now with bitcoin hitting a hundred thousand again after it dipped into around 90,000, 92,000. It's good. It's really good. And here's Scott. Let's hit $4 and call it a new all time high. There you go. That Once we passed $3 was a critical point because it was really hard to see that XRP kept touching on that three dollar range. But it wasn't hitting three dollars. You know, the. As things were going up. The fact that it's gone over 3, fact that it's hit 318, fact that Bitcoin's back over a hundred thousand ship puts us on track for, you know, that kind of momentum all carried right now just by excitement and fomo, you know. And, and that's a good thing. And positivity, positivity of the marketplace chip. I think that's. That's key. That's really key.

[Chip]

I love seeing those bad yetis. So much fun.

[Jeff]

Yes.

[Chip]

Classic. Fantastic. I say Jeff. Insane.

[Jeff]

Look at Jim D. Just sold a small bit of xrp Clear out all credit card debt. Look at that. And use to buy. To use to buy gold. There you go. Transferring XRP to gold. You gotta love it. That's awesome. Crypto Caddy. We need some reckless abandon. Stop making sense.

[Chip]

We do. Like you're selling at 5. You're selling a 10. I'm like look, let's let it ride up a little bit man. Let's not get crazy. This is.

[Jeff]

Damn my $0.17. Can't imagine.000 2.002.

[Chip]

Sometimes you see things that make sense here. Jeff. Tell me if anybody here can relate to this. I bet you a lot of people can relate to this. Look at this right here. Ready? Here we go. XRP on the left. Stacks and stacks. And then on the right bank account. It's like it's all an XRP.

[Jeff]

You gotta love that extra P at 50 cents. I don't know. XRP at $4. Take my money. Take it all. Shit's moving in a very cool direction right now. I'm liking what I'm seeing across the board. Positivity in the crypto markets just chip. Just a lot of. A lot of good momentum. Trying to check in to see exactly where Sui is. Suey's sitting at 4.73. That would. That it topped out at five something. Look at Sui already over the XRP numbers.

[Chip]

What is it? What's it say?

[Jeff]

473.

[Chip]

I don't see the screen.

[Jeff]

My screen isn't up there. $4 and 73 cents. Then if we get down to the Shib Shiba, you know, still hovering at 2238. It passed 3000 during the, the big up. But look, it just, it's kind of holding in that position right there. Hedera. Then if we drag down to litecoin because it's always the top three chip, Bitcoin, ethereum, Litecoin and xrp, I guess that'd be the top four. And then if you have to scroll and look for. I think I already passed it. I passed Stellar. Stellar's typically in the 20s. There it is, 13 Stellar's sitting at the 13th spot right now. Typically was down in the 20s, sitting at 47 cents. Stellar's at 47 cents. Man. That was a solid buy at 5 cents.

[Chip]

Yeah, I wish it was XTC though. I'll be honest. I'm not gonna lie. I definitely wish it was. XTC.

[Jeff]

Was going up too, like pretty nicely.

[Chip]

I mean 19 cents is the all time high, so we'll get there, man. I think we definitely will surpass it in this bull run. There's no doubt. Here's Scott Jennings from CNN talking about.

[Jeff]

Trump at 13 cents.

[Chip]

Yeah, but I'm saying 19 once it passes there, we're in like new territory. Get there six more cents. Hell yeah. Look at this. Here's Scott Jennings on cnn.

[Jasmine Crockett]

I think that all sides agree that Trump's hand in this has made a difference one way or another.

[Scott Jennings]

Yeah, they don't want to deal with Trump. He's been perfectly clear. He is not vacillated about his message that if they don't send our people back there's going to be hell to pay. And thank God he has been on that message and he has not wavered from it. He's not stepped back from it. And I don't really care candidly who the President is when all this happens. I just want him back. I mean, I've worn this yellow ribbon out here every night for over a year because I think there's so many families who are just devastated, they're hurting, they don't know what the situation is. And we need this to come to an end. There are Americans involved here. Look, I think we're going to end up paying a very heavy price in this deal. I'm sure some terrorists are probably going to wind up being let out of jails. I don't particularly like that. But to settle this, to get peace and to get our people back, I think it took Trump winning the election and being clear eyed about it to make it happen. If you were Iran or any terrorist with any level of responsibility, what you have witnessed is that the Biden administration has tried to at various points put shackles on Israel. You can say they've been strong on it, but they have at times tried to put rhetorical and military shackles on Israel. There is no expectation that Trump would put shackles on anybody. And there is some expectation that he might just get involved himself if they don't send our people back. So I do think this was the essential element to getting this over the finish line and I hope it happens right now. A great, a great nation, a superpower, does not permit its people to be held and treated like this for as long as we have. I don't think Donald Trump wants to be taking over a country that was willing to permit that kind of behavior by these thugs and terrorists. And so I think that's why he was clear eyed in his statements. And I think that's why they're responding.

[Chip]

Right, everyone? Yeah, solid point, right, Joe?

[Jeff]

Oh, plus they've been hammered now for a year and a half. But it's horrible, you know, what the, the hostages had suffered and endured all this time. And Biden for the most part was pretty quiet for the past year and a half with American hostages being country.

[Chip]

That's what I want. I don't even know who was running the country. Somebody was, Jeff. You know those, you know those loons on the View? Well, one of them had a statement to say and I want to see if this is actually gonna happen. That's what she said about the hostage crisis thing.

[Jeff]

A 5 alarm fire.

[Jasmine Crockett]

If he does good, if he gets.

[Jeff]

The Israeli hostages out, I promise I will wear a MAGA hat for one.

[Chip]

Day on the show and say thank.

[Jasmine Crockett]

You for doing it.

[Jeff]

She'll knock it right off my head.

[Chip]

But like we can.

[Jasmine Crockett]

You have to be able to cheer.

[Chip]

For wins when they happen and then.

[Jeff]

Call out relentlessly the wrongdoing.

[Chip]

Okay, when is she gonna wear the MAGA hat? That's what I want to know. I just want to know. So we can play it here, back to back. We'll play this clip. Do you think she ever wears or dons a MAGA hat? Do you think she's ever gonna happen, Jeff? What is the odds? What's the over under on this happening?

[Jeff]

I don't. Yes.

[Chip]

You think she's going to. I don't have high hopes for. I'm gonna be honest with you. I just don't have my hopes.

[Jeff]

We're almost unburdened by what has been.

[Chip]

We.

[Jeff]

We're getting very close to being unburdened.

[Chip]

Please.

[Jeff]

By what is what has been. Like a whole.

[Chip]

Please unburden us.

[Jeff]

Monday's a new day for crypto.

[Chip]

Yeah, Donald.

[Jeff]

Monday. Monday's a massive day. You know, it's. It's a no school day on Monday, so there'll be a lot going on.

[Chip]

Is it MLK day?

[Jeff]

MLK Day.

[Chip]

Look at that. So here we go.

[Jeff]

I will be streaming from morning till night.

[Chip]

I try to set up an appointment today on Monday. And they're like, we're off. It's a. Monday's a holiday. I'm like, oh, yeah, I forgot about that. Oops.

[Jeff]

And it's inauguration day.

[Chip]

Yeah. I wish I had the day off. My company doesn't take that day off. What do you think about that? Yeah.

[Jeff]

You don't take off inauguration day.

[Chip]

I'm not taking off inauguration.

[Jeff]

I'm okay, dude.

[Chip]

Yeah, I usually. I usually had MLK day off.

[Jeff]

But maybe we'll stream that night and we can do play by play commentary. Even though I think that what happens at noon. Yeah, I know it'll be over, but we can talk about.

[Chip]

You know, there's something that I really wanted. Like something bounced in my head today and I thought, like, you know, where is it? Did I have it? I don't think I do have it. My gosh, I thought I had it. Do I not have it? This is not.

[Jeff]

Matt, you missed it. You missed it. You missed us playing the playback of the car ride.

[Chip]

Can't believe it. Matt, you're gonna have to. You're gonna have to go back. You're gonna have to go back. I don't understand, man.

[Jeff]

There's a lot of caps being thrown in here.

[Chip]

Yeah.

[Jeff]

Blockchain will be adopted.

[Chip]

One more blockchain that'll be adopted by XRP. Is BitTorrent. Is BitTorrent still around? Commands and process in and out without the massive data traveling through XRP ledger. What's the point then? If it goes through Victory? Sure. Bithorn still, there's something I wanted to play back. You know how we always played like a funny video at the end? And this one, like, I started thinking about it today. I don't know why, something probably jolted in my head, but I wanted to play this video. It has nothing to do with crypto. Nothing to do with anything. Not even no geopolitics. Yeah, I've been ready. It's just a. It's just something that I thought was funny. This guy, he does great videos. He posted this around in the holidays about the questions he gets from people as he works at ikea.

[Jeff]

Oh yeah, this is good.

[Angry IKEA Worker]

Just lost yourself a customer. You think I own this business? You think I own ikea? I'm a part time employee halfway through a two week notice. I don't give a shit. I'm telling all my friends not to shop here. Tell them you think I want five other youths running around the store? Have him call me. I'll tell him you think you hate this place more than me. I work here. I know the sale ended last week, but can I still get a discount? Do you hear yourself? We can't go backwards. Time marches on. You want the sale from 15 years ago too? When's it end, Diane? You want that price, you're gonna have to go through the quantum realm with Ant man. Do you know how much money I spend here? More than you should. Meatballs ain't that good. Save your money. End my time. Doesn't matter how much you spend here. We don't thank our donors. This isn't pbs. Every time I come here, my order gets messed up. Then stop coming. Make my day. Every time you come here, your order's messed up. Sounds like you're making the mistake. Look inward. You're ordering the wrong shit. I'd like to speak to your manager. I'd like to speak to your mother. Tell her she should be embarrassed she raised someone to act like a baby in public. You want to speak to the manager, please? Manager doesn't know what's going on. Haven't you ever worked anywhere before? I know that's not right. I used to work here. Well, things change. Sorry they didn't run it by you first. You used to work here? Well, I used to be happy. Then you walked in. Can you just check in the back? Can you just accept we don't have it? The back ain't some magical place. What do you think is back there? Santa's workshop. The only thing back there is a clipboard with our schedules and some brownies. Darcy brought in the website, said it was in stock. And what do your eyes say? Sometimes it's wrong. The website also has pictures of employees smiling. You see that? Should go. Yell at your computer instead of me. It'll get you the same result Nothing. This is cheaper at other stores than shop there. Why are you here? We need directions. I'll get you some. I'll call you an Uber. Cheaper at other stores. I don't set the prices. I'm a seasonal employee. You working hard or hardly working? I'm hardly laughing. I'm already at work. I don't have time for a second job pretending you're funny. Why don't you tell me something I don't hear every day? Like, thank you. You should open up more registers. And who's gonna work them? You think I'm the only one ringing you up because I called dibs? You want me to clone myself? Are you saying you want to apply? Well, you see, we're shorthanded. Where's your resume? I can't believe they have you working Thanksgiving. I can't believe you're shopping. Why do you think I'm here? It's because of you. I have to stand here for 15 hours so you can yell at me instead of your family. I work retail. I don't even remember what Thanksgiving is. The customer is always right. About what?

[Chip]

How to pick.

[Angry IKEA Worker]

Piss me off.

[Chip]

Anyway, you get the idea there, Jeff, but that's. That guy is just. That guy is fantastic. Look at this. Mike is saying, if you haven't tried the Yeti Badass Yeti coffee yet, then you know you are missing out. And quite honestly, yeah, you are missing out. It's fantastic. I gotta grab the bag from the kitchen and bring it over here again, but here it is right here, guys. Greatest coffee you've ever had. There it is. And look, is it any good? Nah, it's effing great. It's fantastic. Shop. Badass Yeti coffee. Of course. Look at that beautiful badass Yeti coffee. My God, is that beautiful. Man. Look at that obsidian bowl. There it is right there.

[Jeff]

10 off, right there.

[Chip]

Off, right there. Guys, click on that link. 10 Yeti is bad there. You get a 10 discount right there. Why is it 24.99? Because it is roasted to order and shipped direct. This stuff isn't sitting on a. It's not sitting on a. On a shelf for 12 months where it's all dried out and nasty. Nah, man. These are beautiful beans. They still have the oil on them. They're fantastic. Just roast it within a few days. In your house. Mike told you. Mike's not a. Mike doesn't get anything out of this. Brad said he's pissing himself laughing. Everyone's looking at the earbuds. In. Yeah, I don't Know who that dude is, but if you find him, please let me know, because I would love to watch this stuff. I could watch that all day long.

[Jeff]

Sleepy Cato said I'm a server in a restaurant. I love this. Been coming here for years. Did you eat the dirt when it was getting built?

[Chip]

Yeah. I can't believe you're working on Thanksgiving. I can't believe you're shopping. I'm here because of you. You got some donuts in the back that Darcy brought. That's great. Bill's ravens. Yeah.

[Jeff]

You know what time it is? It's badass yeti's drawing time. We're at that moment. We're at that moment time. So first, before we do the drawing, make sure you guys get your Zaman wallet out, get your Zaman wallet address ready, because as soon as that gets drawn, we need you to post your badass. Your badass yetis. We need to post your bad as yeti wallet address. We need to post your Zaman wallet address in there. And we're going to transfer this badass yeti over to this one right here. This badass little prowler is going to be transferred over to you expeditiously. And we want to prove how. It'll take us longer to pick up the phone and scan everything than it will be to actually complete the transaction and the transfer. But you got to get the badass yetis, you got to get the Z wallet address in there so we can get this thing going. And then when you guys get one of these badass yetis, if you go to our discord, you go into the discord and you verify your badass yetis, These cool discount areas will open up for badass yeti's coffee, and you get some really nice discounts based on the yeti. So you own a yeti, you verify yetis, it opens up discounts. You own 1 yeti, 2 yeti, 5 yeti, whatever it is you get, and it's white yeti or blue yeti, which is really kick ass. So you got to go over to the badassery. That's it. You got to go to the badassery discord, and that's where you check it out. So I'm gonna add the badassery discord invite in there, so you guys can go check that out to verify your guys and get some discounts on the back 28.

[Chip]

Jeff, we're going to give everybody a shot. Ready? Get your zombie wallet ready. Be ready to. If you win, you say here and post the wallet. We Just want you're here because otherwise we'll draw again if we don't hear from you guys. Ready? Here we go, Jeff. And the drawing is going. There it goes, There it goes. Who is going to win today? Who is going to win? See what happens here.

[Jeff]

Thomas Brennan.

[Chip]

Thomas Brennan wins. Thomas, are you here? The important question we need to know, are you here?

[Jeff]

Tomas Brennan, are you here?

[Chip]

All the chilly weather, don't forget to get hooked up on your hoodie. Yeah, that's the other thing. We got to drop in there too. Our merch store, Jeff. Oh, yeah, on the chain shop.

[Jeff]

And we're gonna work on a kick ass, badass yetis merch too. That'll be sweet. We'll put that on a T shirt, put one of these guys on there, which will be really, really nice. So, Thomas Brennan, you have to be here to win. I know you were here because you typed in yeti at one point. So now we're looking back in time to see if you were here. But you've got got to be checking the post. Got to be listening to the post and hopefully. And if not, guess what has to happen. We get to do another drawing. Rob McDermott says, I'm wearing my OTC zip sweatshirt right now. There you go, man. It's so cool. Look at that, man. Look at that elder that Rob has.

[Chip]

Rob.

[Jeff]

What'S that? The shop's down.

[Chip]

It wouldn't load and it's loading now, but for some reason it wouldn't. It's going super slow. I don't know what's wrong with it. It would be a problem.

[Jeff]

Maybe it's on their end.

[Chip]

Must be. I mean, it's just. It's weird how it's strange. Not really loading up. There it goes. Yeah, you get a sweet hoodie.

[Jeff]

Where's Thomas? Oh, Thomas showed up. I don't see Thomas. Did Thomas show up? I see no Thomas.

[Chip]

Thomas. You gotta see her here. You have to say you're here, man.

[Jeff]

Oh, Thomas shared his address. There it is. Where is it? Oh, something went down with this spring. All right, let me get his address.

[Chip]

Yeah, something's going on with spring.

[Jeff]

That's so weird. Thomas, friend, you have to say that you were here before. The address. That's right. He just posted the address. It's a good thing everyone's looking out. There we go. Is here. Thomas is here. The address doesn't show up on our side, so we need everyone to, you know, keep an eye out. Because it's weird how YouTube doesn't allow us to always See, everything that's going on, that's. That's a YouTube thing. So now I gotta scroll. I gotta actually go to the current. Gotta open it up in the control room.

[Chip]

Mike. Mike says he finally got his S. Suggested he got his coffee pick it only took him a week. There is the badass yeti's coffee. The first one to flash the badass yeti's coffee. Nice. Well done, Mike. Well, now you can teach other people how to do it. Because maybe they don't know. Because I certainly don't know. It's. I don't know. I changed mine so long ago, I don't even know where it is. Look, it's cold outside, guys. Get an XRP beanie. There you go. Get yourself a beanie, man. Look at that. Or on the chain or in.

[Jeff]

While you're doing that. Here we go. Thomas. Thomas, stay tuned. Putting your address in. I'm hitting transfer. I'm going to open up the Zamen wallet on our end. I'm going to click the little blue thing. I'm now going to scan the QR code. QR code is scanned. Now going to accept it. I'm sending you that offer. Gotta verify. It's verifying. It's now. The transfer has been submitted on the screen. Verifying on the ledger. And submission failed. Look at that. Destination does not exist.

[Chip]

Destination and XRP to create it.

[Jeff]

Thomas, you might not have XRP in the wallet.

[Chip]

Yeah. Is it a new wallet? Thomas, you have to go. You have to fund it.

[Jeff]

Thomas, is that if it's not. If you have to put like, what, one or two XRP over to it, you got to fund it. You got to send over one or two, and then we got to. We got to put it in. So if you can do that really quick and then we can make it happen. Savvy granny. I've been sitting on my XRP since 2015. 2015.

[Chip]

There you is. That is one savvy granny. I'll tell you. Right there.

[Jeff]

And it's moving. It is moving. So now, Thomas, gotta put 1 or 2 or 1.2. I don't even know what that number is. Oh, enough to tell us specifically. But. All right, let me try it again and see if there's.

[Angry IKEA Worker]

Because you went shopping, you're not infallible. Susan, you're at the mall always, right? That's why you're on your ninth try hitting the button for credit. Do you have any coupons for me? That's what I ask you. We all have our roles to play.

[Jeff]

Find it Again.

[Angry IKEA Worker]

Well, you think you just found a cheat code for the store? Oh, yeah. I keep a few hundred percent offs back here for the smart customers. Bring your own. Scan must be free. And you must be out of your mind.

[Jeff]

You know, what's the problem?

[Chip]

It's a problem.

[Jeff]

What's that?

[Chip]

What's the problem?

[Jeff]

Thomas. Thomas is gonna have to go on, log into XR and 2XRP Cafe and verify finish the trust line with the XRP Cafe because it's got. For some reason, it's got to finish the transfer with the connection to the XRP Cafe. I believe that's it. I'm gonna try one more time. It's verifying. It's it. Since it's transacting over the ledger, but it says destination does not exist. So it's trying to transfer. I think it's still trying to communicate it as though you're not. You're not completely trusted with the XRP Cafe. So try that. Try to open up XRP Cafe and just connect. Connect your Zman wallet there. That's pretty easy to do too. You can just select Zomin Wall, puts up a QR code, and then just verify and finalize the trust line with the XRP Cafe, and then we will be done with that.

[Chip]

Yay.

[Jeff]

Simplified. Hey, this is a process. It's crazy how we're, you know, kind of. Everybody has to learn through the process, you know, still takes some time, you know, trying to go through the crypto process too.

[Chip]

Let me copy to fund it. I don't know if it's a matter of funding anymore, though, Jim. I think we're good. So, yeah, here we go.

[Angry IKEA Worker]

First person to say that you're not even the first one today. Don't worry about the scan. I'll type in the product code and charge you double. I swear, I fake laugh at this job so much, I forget how my real one sounds.

[Chip]

Be prepared.

[Jeff]

Go ahead and give it to someone else. Oh, here we go. We got to do another one. Seriously? All right, that's it. We've done. Everything you have to do is just connect to the XRP Cafe. But if that's it, Chip, we're doing another drawing.

[Chip]

Do you know how to connect there just on you go to connect your.

[Jeff]

Wallet, you just go to XRP Cafe, select the wallet, and then just, boom, get your app, and you scan that QR code and you're in. Just like that. It's all yours. It's pretty easy.

[Chip]

Worker Scott S. Is that his name? Is that what he goes by on tick Tock angry IKEA worker. Is that it? Angry IKEA worker.

[Jeff]

Give it to another person. Thanks anyway. Come on, Thomas.

[Chip]

That is it. Thank you. Comedians.

[Jeff]

Get ready to roll. Chip, we gotta roll it again.

[Chip]

Okay, if you say so.

[Jeff]

He wants us to give it to someone else.

[Chip]

Okay, we'll do that. That's a bummer. Hate Thomas.

[Jeff]

Prefer to give it to Thomas because he won. Come on, Thomas.

[Chip]

So you want me draw? Are we redrawing or what?

[Jeff]

I guess we gotta redraw.

[Chip]

Yeah.

[Jeff]

You said give it to someone else.

[Chip]

Thanks for that. Thanks for that, Charles. Appreciate that.

[Jeff]

It's right there. It's right there.

[Chip]

We drawn again or no?

[Jeff]

I guess so. Unless Thomas is going to connect his wallet.

[Chip]

Get it or what?

[Jeff]

Get it, get it. Got to get it connected.

[Chip]

Cryptocurrency's already got his wallet in there. His address.

[Jeff]

I see that. Yeah, throw that in. Jim, he had. He had plenty of XRP in the wallet. It's just he didn't finalize the trust line with the XRP Cafe, which apparently is one more step in the process. Even though I fig if you're going to transfer it. But since it's in the XRP Cafe, when we finalize the transfer, it has to be to somebody. Supposedly that's how it's been working. We have to go into XRP Cafe and you have to finalize the. The trust line. I would think if it's on the xpl, you can just move it on, you know.

[Chip]

Oh, Greg loves Thomas. He's a Fiat Ford. Kind of a philanthropist. Beautiful, right? All right, let's do this again. Here we go. Ready? Here we go. We're going to redraw draw again. Let's see, we got. We got 31 entries. You gotta be here.

[Jeff]

It's a bitcoin maxi group.

[Chip]

Yeah, we only do bitcoin here.

[Jeff]

There's only bitcoin search.

[Chip]

Are you here? Please tell me you're here.

[Jeff]

You didn't even share it. We didn't even see him win.

[Chip]

Oh, sorry about that, dude. Sorry, I thought I was sharing the screen. It's just this is so long and arduous. Let me get the bed early.

[Jeff]

Tom T. Tom T. Tom T is just another name for Tom Brennan.

[Chip]

Yeah, he's got multiple accounts.

[Jeff]

Why are you here, Tom?

[Chip]

Going.

[Jeff]

Way behind.

[Chip]

Are you here?

[Jeff]

Like, I don't know if Matt Roche is up to speed. I'm sure he is. Let's see, like the 2020 elections.

[Chip]

Not exactly. We have no control over this thing. I mean.

[Jeff]

I are used to not require a Pre trust descent. Yes. All right. Thomas will have it set up for the future win. All right. I guess we're gonna roll again. Spin again. Spin again.

[Chip]

No.

[Jeff]

Tom.

[Chip]

Team, do it to me. Okay, Ready? Let's do it again.

[Jeff]

One more time.

[Chip]

All right. Please.

[Jeff]

Here we go.

[Chip]

Be here. Please get a winner.

[Jeff]

Who is gonna be sassy One. No. Oh, so close. So close. Crypto coins for free.

[Chip]

Now you get a badass yeti for free. Come on, let's go.

[Jeff]

Dude, can we get a not? Can we get a not? Tom. It's all about Tom. But that's crypto caddy. But who just won? You took it off stage again.

[Chip]

Beautiful.

[Jeff]

The King.

[Chip]

Congratulations, the King. You are now the winner. And the badass yetis is official. Be expecting you, Jeff. Do you think he's going to get rid of his king hat? Well, he's got to make a badass yeti with the king with a crown.

[Jeff]

Yeah, we might have to do that. I'm transferring it. Here it goes. It is now being sent. Verifying. Gone. Look at that. Fitted successfully. Badass. It's now owned by who? Chip?

[Chip]

It's owned by the King. Dude, love your work. We love you, King. If you would be so kind as to maybe switch out that crown for a badass yeti. What do you say, King? What do you say? What do you say? That's a. Jeff, we got to get out of here. I gotta get to sleep here.

[Jeff]

It is late. That was a lot.
