Joel Comm: The new British prime minister is pushing for central bank
Joel Comm: digital currencies. But down in Africa, Nigerians are rejecting their
Joel Comm: government's push for the same. The SEC says trade coin
Joel Comm: club members are part of the Ponzi scheme. And there's
Joel Comm: big news around the Solana blockchain as a new Google
Joel Comm: partnership could bring the chain to the masses. Poor Xqc's
Joel Comm: Metta may be getting trashed, but Instagram could bring Nfts mainstream.
Joel Comm: We salute all of our United States veterans who have
Joel Comm: fought for our freedoms and dedicate the moment of silence
Joel Comm: coming up to those who have lost their lives in
Joel Comm: defense of those freedoms. On our bad news, episode number 648.
Joel Comm: Of the Bad Crypto podcast. Five for.
UU: Free are for all those.
UU: Whose bad. I.
Joel Comm: This episode is airing on Veterans Day initially, which is
Joel Comm: why the moment of recognition and silence for those who
Joel Comm: have served. We do take our hats off to you.
Joel Comm: Thank you. Both men and women who have served. For
Joel Comm: your considerable contribution. We appreciate the liberty that we have,
Joel Comm: at least for the moment in this country. And may
Joel Comm: your sacrifices not be in vain.
Travis Wright: Also, shout out to everyone who looks at the clock
Travis Wright: and randomly it's 1111 because that happens to me quite regularly.
Travis Wright: I was like, oh, 1111 Make a little wish.
Joel Comm: Where did that alert?
Travis Wright: I don't know. I think it's some mystical shit from
Travis Wright: back in the day.
Joel Comm: Like it at 420. Are you supposed to puff Puff?
Joel Comm: Is that like.
Travis Wright: Oh, boy, You know, it's always for 20 somewhere as
Travis Wright: long as it's 20 past the hour, I guess. But
Travis Wright: I don't know. Think about it. 1111. It's rally hasn't
Travis Wright: been the thing. It's been the thing since people have
Travis Wright: had clocks.
Joel Comm: What if it's 7-Eleven? Get a Slurpee.
Travis Wright: Well, get a slot back because.
Joel Comm: It's a 7-Eleven. This time they're under the sun. Get
Joel Comm: yourself a big gulp. Big gulp.
Travis Wright: Make a wish. You wish you could drink this in
Travis Wright: one big gulp so you could go get another.
Joel Comm: I wish we could get on to the content of
Joel Comm: this episode of the Bankrupt podcast. Joel, Com and Travis
Joel Comm: right here. And we've got news that you can use.
Joel Comm: We did mention that the UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak
Joel Comm: is pushing heavily for Cbdcs. I watched the video. I
Joel Comm: don't think it's in this article here, but there is
Joel Comm: a video of him and it just it makes me
Joel Comm: want to retch because they are selling cbdcs as though
Joel Comm: they are going to be such a blessing for the
Joel Comm: people and it's going to just lead to all kinds
Joel Comm: of ways that we can use our funds and make
Joel Comm: everything more secure. And the bottom line is it's a trap, folks.
Joel Comm: It's all a trap. Central bank Digital currencies will be
Joel Comm: used in the hands of nefarious people, which many of
Joel Comm: our leaders already are. To track everything you do and
Joel Comm: if you want to question if this reality is something
Joel Comm: that could be a reality here, look up the Chinese
Joel Comm: social credit score system. They implemented this a few years
Joel Comm: ago where they're tracking everything. People buy and sell their
Joel Comm: tracking what they post on social media, who they are in,
Joel Comm: in contact with. And if they decide that you said
Joel Comm: something they don't like or you are, you know, somehow
Joel Comm: in relationship with people that might be undesirables, they lower
Joel Comm: your social credit score just like that Black Mirror episode nosedive.
Joel Comm: If you haven't seen it, go watch it.
Travis Wright: Well, to me, it is interesting. I mean, because look
Travis Wright: what happened to Kanye West. They didn't like what what
Travis Wright: happened to him and they kicked him off of J.P. Morgan,
Travis Wright: Jp morgan, and said, hey, we're not going to have
Travis Wright: you be part of our thing anymore, so take your
Travis Wright: Yeezy empire and skedaddle. And so, you know, think of that.
Travis Wright: That's a that's basically I look at it like this.
Travis Wright: I say that to people when you go, wow, look
Travis Wright: at that happened. And then I also say, Do you
Travis Wright: want to know how close we are to sort of
Travis Wright: global authoritarianism, sort of one world government type stuff? Look
Travis Wright: at how quick the whole world's shut down for COVID. Like,
Travis Wright: it was just it was just a maybe a slightly
Travis Wright: harsher flu. And what they did was immediately, oh, people
Travis Wright: were sick. Let's put them in nursing homes. I don't
Travis Wright: know if you remember that bunch of people. One of
Travis Wright: the nursing homes got got got a bunch of these
Travis Wright: old people sick, everybody up in arms. Now, you can't
Travis Wright: go to funerals. You can't go to the synagogue. You
Travis Wright: can't go to church. You can't go to certain restaurants
Travis Wright: unless you're Walmart and Target. You can stay open. Everything
Travis Wright: else has to shut down. The whole world was like, okay,
Travis Wright: except Africa, who didn't do it. And they basically had
Travis Wright: no COVID, right? So it's like it's just crazy to
Travis Wright: me if you don't see where we are. And we
Travis Wright: had Liz Truss, right? Was that her name? Liz Truss?
Travis Wright: Liz Truss Yeah, which I trust her completely, because anybody
Travis Wright: who's in charge of government anywhere, you got to trust them.
Travis Wright: But think of this is they were not they were
Travis Wright: not so quickly she was released from she resigned but
Travis Wright: something happened. Maybe she didn't want the Cbdc I don't
Travis Wright: want to. We see that happen globally because once that happens,
Travis Wright: they don't like your opinion. They're going to shut you
Travis Wright: off and that's not a good thing.
Joel Comm: So I don't know if you saw this just tossed
Joel Comm: in as in here, The Atlantic, which is an incredibly
Joel Comm: far left magazine, wrote this article by Emily Oster, Let's
Joel Comm: declare a pandemic amnesty. Let's focus on the future and
Joel Comm: fix the problems we still need to solve. Oh, you
Joel Comm: mean forgive you for locking away our senior citizens and
Joel Comm: leaving them isolated to die alone? Is that what you mean?
Joel Comm: Or do you mean forcing experimental vaccinations or RNA altering
Joel Comm: drugs on people? Let's get.
Travis Wright: Over it, Joy, for.
Joel Comm: Talking about. Are you talking about making us wear the
Joel Comm: stupid face diapers that do absolutely nothing? Which, by the way,
Joel Comm: I don't know if you've seen.
Travis Wright: Forgive and forget. Yeah. I don't know how serious. You know,
Travis Wright: I was so interesting. I learned this. It's like it's
Travis Wright: whenever I wanted to go to a restaurant, I had
Travis Wright: to show my vaccine card because it's like somebody dies.
Travis Wright: And then I say, Where were they vaccinated? That is
Travis Wright: so rude of you to ask. How dare you ask
Travis Wright: if they were like, Well, I mean, I'm looking at
Travis Wright: the statistics here and I see in the funeral home
Travis Wright: statistics where they said, Oh my God, there's more funerals
Travis Wright: than ever. Like they would say normally in in a
Travis Wright: place 150 funerals a year in a funeral homes, a
Travis Wright: pretty good year. That's a great year. Now they're talking 350,
Travis Wright: 400 funerals like. And they have to do bulk, you know,
Travis Wright: youth caskets. As for them, basically in their whole existence,
Travis Wright: they never had to do book youth caskets. And they've
Travis Wright: had to do that twice in the last seven months.
Travis Wright: There's something going on. Nobody's talking about it, but.
Joel Comm: Some people are talking about it, just not, you know,
Joel Comm: the people who should be talking about it. Those in
Joel Comm: the trusted media there.
Travis Wright: Might be on for some people to hear. Like we've
Travis Wright: been ranting a little bit this week, like and I'll
Travis Wright: give you that. We've been ranting because there's a lot
Travis Wright: of noise here.
Joel Comm: This is our microphones. We can we can.
Travis Wright: Microphones.
Joel Comm: We can say whatever we want to say about whatever
Joel Comm: we want to say. And if people want to listen
Joel Comm: and there's a lot of people out there that are
Joel Comm: nodding their heads, we know we we hear from these
Joel Comm: people and they're like, yeah, you guys just just speak
Joel Comm: the truth. And this is all tied into blockchain and
Joel Comm: crypto gang. We're talking about central bank digital currencies where
Joel Comm: they can track everything that, that you're, you know, up
Joel Comm: to And.
Travis Wright: Just check this out is a great segway right here
Travis Wright: because conversely, we're talking about, you know, the new prime
Travis Wright: minister of the UK who's like, yeah, we want Cbdcs,
Travis Wright: we want Cbdcs. But right here the Nigerians are rejecting
Travis Wright: the country's cbdc in favor of decentralized crypto currencies. That's
Travis Wright: exactly what we need because when they're decentralized, nobody controls them.
Travis Wright: When they're a centralized bank, digital currency, the centralized bank
Travis Wright: controls them, which can then lead us down a very
Travis Wright: authoritarian path. You don't have this, you don't have that,
Travis Wright: you don't have enough in your wallet. You can't access this,
Travis Wright: you don't have this NFT, so you can't do this.
Travis Wright: You can't go here, you can't get on the bus,
Travis Wright: you can't get on a plane. Like you mentioned that
Travis Wright: we're living in Black Mirror in a lot of ways
Travis Wright: and it's really bizarre.
Joel Comm: The population of Nigeria is considered to be the most
Joel Comm: crypto savvy on the African continent, with the nation ranking
Joel Comm: as the top country in Africa for. Crypto adoption and
Joel Comm: 11 Globally, more than a third of Nigerians between the
Joel Comm: age of 18 and 60 reported owning or training cryptos
Joel Comm: in 2022. They also have the greatest export of princes
Joel Comm: seeking places to go to have their funds transferred. You
Joel Comm: might have gotten an email from.
Travis Wright: I got an email. I was so excited that the
Travis Wright: prince chose me. I thought I was Nigerian. Prince was like,
Travis Wright: Oh my God, Travis. I've been waiting to transfer you money. And,
Travis Wright: you know, I saw I saw the future of population
Travis Wright: in the world in golden 50 years. In the future,
Travis Wright: Africa is going to explode in population. It's going to explode.
Travis Wright: And that's great. I think we need so like, we're
Travis Wright: going to start seeing some really interesting leaders popping up
Travis Wright: in some of these countries where there's 220 million people
Travis Wright: in Nigeria, there's 330 million in America, like.
Joel Comm: 380.
Travis Wright: That will pass 380. We have three.
Joel Comm: I think we're up to 380. Just overnight. We just
Joel Comm: we did that. So while Nigeria gets it, JPMorgan is
Joel Comm: coming around. You know, of course, you remember Jamie Dimon
Joel Comm: many times had said, you know, to avoid Bitcoin and
Joel Comm: that's a scam. Of course, JPMorgan is moving heavy into
Joel Comm: blockchain now and they are calling JPMorgan trade on public
Joel Comm: blockchain a monumental step. For Defi, they're using polygon to
Joel Comm: trade tokenized cash deposits and they are just another in
Joel Comm: the line of financial institutions that are going, All right,
Joel Comm: if you can't beat them, join them. How do we
Joel Comm: get our big piece of the pie.
Travis Wright: Mhm. But how bullish is that for Polygon. Yeah. Like
Travis Wright: when you start paying attention to all the projects that
Travis Wright: are popping up off on Polygon right now and with
Travis Wright: it only being a dollar 20 now that's what it
Travis Wright: was when we last saw it. I don't know what
Travis Wright: it is exactly today because I'm not that far of
Travis Wright: a futurist, but I mean it was 70 something cents,
Travis Wright: 50 something sense not long ago. And here it is.
Travis Wright: You start seeing, you know, what, Disney is going to
Travis Wright: start doing stuff on Polygon, JPMorgan, starting to do stuff
Travis Wright: on Polygon. There's a lot of projects doing stuff on
Travis Wright: Polygon and that should tell you something about Polygon. You know,
Travis Wright: projects can start doing stuff on them. Pay attention.
Joel Comm: We've been big fans of the wax blockchain. The only
Joel Comm: good thing that I can see that's come out of EOS,
Joel Comm: but because it is not an EVM, at least not yet,
Joel Comm: that was the big mistake that William Quigley made, is
Joel Comm: taking wax off of Ethereum to create their. They should
Joel Comm: have immediately had the bridge right. Have your own chain
Joel Comm: that's faster. That doesn't have the gas fees because even with.
Travis Wright: Which should have been like a.
Joel Comm: Polygon, it should have been going on. Yep, it should
Joel Comm: have been like polygon and it wasn't. And so now
Joel Comm: Wax is is getting a little left behind. However, I
Joel Comm: think that they're working on the EVM. And so that will,
Joel Comm: you know, because right now you want to be able
Joel Comm: to put the chain in your metamask. Right. So it's
Joel Comm: easy to do if you're on polygon draw on Binance
Joel Comm: Smart chain. If you're on an avalanche arbitrage doge chain, right,
Joel Comm: you just add it to your metamask it uses the
Joel Comm: same address, you're just adding this new RPC protocol and
Joel Comm: now you can trade your tokens there using the same format.
Joel Comm: Whereas with wax you got to go to a set
Joel Comm: of wax wallet. With internet computer you need an ICP wallet.
Joel Comm: Could be a better chain. It could be faster, more
Joel Comm: transactions per second, but you still need another wallet. And
Joel Comm: so now that polygon, I think Polygon's got a pretty
Joel Comm: bright future. Not financial advice.
Travis Wright: They're not polygon, they're poly here to stay.
Joel Comm: Yeah so also here to stay. The SEC seems like
Joel Comm: every episode now we have a story about them going
Joel Comm: after somebody. They are charging the ETrade Coin Club founding
Joel Comm: members with operating a $295 million Ponzi scheme. It's an
Joel Comm: MLM network marketing. Just another reason that I do not
Joel Comm: like network marketing. There's a number of reasons I don't
Joel Comm: like it, but they've raised I.
Travis Wright: To do it. I like the idea of it, right?
Travis Wright: But the problem is, is that it's centralized power. Those
Travis Wright: up at the top normally are the ones that win
Travis Wright: the idea of, oh, basing on my effort and getting
Travis Wright: of getting a group of people together and helping everyone.
Travis Wright: I like the idea of network marketing or multilevel marketing,
Travis Wright: but in practice I've just never seen it really work.
Travis Wright: Aside from maybe Amway, which kind of stuck to the
Travis Wright: Oh no were one of the original ones.
Joel Comm: There's a lot of ones that it's worked. There's a
Joel Comm: ton of companies that work for, you know, New Herbalife,
Joel Comm: but it usually works for a very small number of people.
Joel Comm: Now the idea of, hey, you know, this creates opportunity
Joel Comm: for everybody. But here's the this leads to the thing
Joel Comm: that I dislike the most. Most often you're encouraged to
Joel Comm: go to your war market. Multilevel marketing is just another
Joel Comm: name for how to lose family and friends. Right. Because
Joel Comm: who do you go to? People, you know. It's the
Joel Comm: best thing. You need to buy some of this. We're
Joel Comm: all going to get rich together. Yeah.
Travis Wright: Buy these pills, potions and lotions, and put them in
Travis Wright: your garage pills.
Joel Comm: Potions and lotions. They don't. They don't help you. If
Joel Comm: you put them in your garage. You have to rub
Joel Comm: them around and drink them and stuff. Right?
Travis Wright: Pretty routine. So you know the boxes of them and
Travis Wright: you put them in your garage.
Joel Comm: And then you get a divorce. The the reason that
Joel Comm: the SEC is going after them, after they've raised 80,000
Joel Comm: Bitcoin from over 100,000 investors, they are saying that they
Joel Comm: allegedly deceived investors by telling them they can generate daily
Joel Comm: returns of 0.35% on their crypto through a bot. But instead,
Joel Comm: these funds were used to compensate himself. Jeff Paradise Man
Joel Comm: named a last name. Taylor Callaway, Leilani, a kind of
Joel Comm: Taylor and Jonathan troll for their involvement. So these guys
Joel Comm: are all in trouble. We're all on a lot of
Joel Comm: a lot of trouble going.
Travis Wright: I would say this. Good luck to all you. All
Travis Wright: I would say this. Here is some interesting news that
Travis Wright: Google is launching a blockchain node engine. And they're saying
Travis Wright: that Ethereum is going to be the very first blockchain
Travis Wright: that is supported. And they're partnering Google Cloud is partnering
Travis Wright: with Coinbase and creating that the Google Cloud blockchain node engine.
Travis Wright: More blockchains will be supported by the theorems going first.
Travis Wright: How bullish is that? I mean, Google's in the game now, bro.
Joel Comm: Incredibly bullish. And they're not stopping there. They're have unveiled
Joel Comm: a partnership with Solana. So at the breakpoint, which is
Joel Comm: a four day conference that is simultaneously held in four
Joel Comm: different venues from November 4th to seventh. I guess that's
Joel Comm: the Solana conference. They made a series of announcements and
Joel Comm: one of them includes the launching of smart phones and
Joel Comm: decentralized app stores partnering with Google Cloud. And, of course,
Joel Comm: Google wants a piece of all of this.
Travis Wright: Mm hmm. Well, thinking about that, let's have a decentralized
Travis Wright: phone and here's Google to help us decentralize it. Yeah. Like,
Travis Wright: to me, that's like, you know, Solana could really, you know,
Travis Wright: drive growth with having a smartphone, getting people off Android.
Travis Wright: That's not going to happen, though. Google's in it, Right?
Travis Wright: So what happens now? What I mean, well, now going
Travis Wright: to go.
Joel Comm: Anyone, anywhere can build their own Solana store and they've
Joel Comm: got Geo NFTS that are going to be part of
Joel Comm: this smart salon of smart phones available for preorder in
Joel Comm: early 2023. So whatever you think about Solana and how
Joel Comm: much it goes down and how vulnerable it's been, clearly
Joel Comm: they are kind of like McDonald's. We're stuck with them.
Joel Comm: It's it's it's crappy food, but they're everywhere and it's
Joel Comm: smart marketing, you know? So there's a lot of inferior
Joel Comm: products out there, gang, that win the day, you know,
Joel Comm: out of their mediocrity because their marketing and their their
Joel Comm: ability to joint venture with with other brands is solid.
Joel Comm: And so congratulations to Solana. I still wouldn't build anything
Joel Comm: on it. That's my $0.02.
Travis Wright: I still wouldn't build anything on it either. But I mean,
Travis Wright: they're going to be around. You really cover that right now.
Travis Wright: Also around helium. Helium is now building out its mobile
Travis Wright: network and they plan to give free trials to so
Travis Wright: lot of phone users. So so there's helium connecting with Solana.
Travis Wright: And these saga phones are going to get a3a 30
Travis Wright: day free subscription to Helium, which is basically that sort
Travis Wright: of like mesh net type thing.
Joel Comm: Yeah, decentralized wi fi, which which I am a fan of.
Joel Comm: I think that that's a pretty good deal and it's
Joel Comm: smart of them to partner with Solana behavior releasing blockchain
Joel Comm: phones and let's work with whoever we can to distribute
Joel Comm: our network. So they're going to give away 30 day
Joel Comm: free subscriptions to helium mobile. And so I'm not exactly
Joel Comm: sure what people are going to get for that, but
Joel Comm: they want to participate in 5G network and make your
Joel Comm: own 5G hotspots. And then I guess you'll earn helium tokens, H.A.
Joel Comm: tokens for running hotspots on your phone. So you'll be
Joel Comm: a portable hotspot. You won't need to buy one of
Joel Comm: the high priced ones that you plant in your home
Joel Comm: wherever you go. If you're not, you are one. You
Joel Comm: are a walking hotspot.
Travis Wright: Yeah. So think of that data though, that might be
Travis Wright: coming through that hotspot. I don't know what kind of
Travis Wright: implications there might be if you are a hotspot. WI
Travis Wright: fi that's open and decentralized and other people are utilizing that.
Travis Wright: Does that come back on you? I don't know, but
Travis Wright: we'll keep an eye on that. Also, we're keeping an
Travis Wright: eye on Instagram. Joel Metta is now talking about Nfts.
Joel Comm: He's right. Yeah. This is this is a big deal.
Joel Comm: The I think that they've released some examples already, but
Joel Comm: you're going to be able to mentor Nfts on Instagram.
Joel Comm: You'll be able to create them and sell them in
Joel Comm: the app. It's going to happen very soon. They won't
Joel Comm: charge any service fees until 2024 and for.
Travis Wright: Gas.
Joel Comm: Fees covers gas for both creators and collectors. Of course,
Joel Comm: if somebody buys within the app, you're still subject to
Joel Comm: the 30% iOS app store fee and whatever Android feeds are. But.
Joel Comm: This is happening. There's there's there's no way to avoid it.
Joel Comm: And I think it's pretty funny that it's happening as
Joel Comm: quickly as it is, because it was just a year
Joel Comm: ago during the NFT Bull run that so many people
Joel Comm: were saying Nfts are a fad and they're stupid and
Joel Comm: there's never going to be any practical use for them.
Joel Comm: And you guys are being scammed. And we said then, no,
Joel Comm: you're wrong. What we call you is a mass adopter.
Joel Comm: Pioneers pioneer in tests. This technology's early adopters are the
Joel Comm: first ones to go, Yeah, this is the thing. And
Joel Comm: meanwhile they're taking the arrows from all the rest that
Joel Comm: are to follow. And if you were one of those
Joel Comm: saying that's a scam and tweeting voraciously about how you
Joel Comm: would never, ever own an NFT, guess what? You will.
Joel Comm: You will. And we told you then and we're telling
Joel Comm: you now, they're here to stay. It's coming. Instagram, you're
Joel Comm: not going to be able to stop it. It's going
Joel Comm: to be huge. And just like we have seen people
Joel Comm: become stars as creators on on Snapchat and YouTube for
Joel Comm: their singing, their dancing, their magic, their jokes, whatever. We're
Joel Comm: going to see a new wave of artists become stars
Joel Comm: via their NFT creations.
Travis Wright: Mm hmm. And I just did the keynote here at
Travis Wright: NFT NYC in London. So I guess technically Nfts in
Travis Wright: London around the future of NFT is it's not just
Travis Wright: crazy hilarious cartoon JPEGs that are NFT. So you got
Travis Wright: to get that out of your mind. There are there's
Travis Wright: about 30 different use cases now that we can determine
Travis Wright: Nfts will be utilizing on. Again, you can check that out.
Travis Wright: Link tree link Tricky link tree slash future of Nfts.
Travis Wright: You can snag that. I go in-depth on that. I've
Travis Wright: actually added a couple of of links to that as well. Joel.
Joel Comm: I've got to point this out as well. Just because
Joel Comm: it popped up yesterday. Square Enix is a renowned game
Joel Comm: developer and creator of Final Fantasy 14, which is one
Joel Comm: of the world's most popular MMO RPG games. And they
Joel Comm: have announced an NFT project and they are getting absolutely
Joel Comm: clobbered on Twitter. A Clobbered like there's hardly anything they don't.
Travis Wright: Understand in their teams or you would you do it
Travis Wright: in a video game? Just skeletons do it.
Joel Comm: So if you want to see like what it is here,
Joel Comm: I can actually go to the tweet.
Travis Wright: Let's see what should happen with Gorillaz, dude. Gorillaz said, Hey,
Travis Wright: we're going to do some NFT. And they just came
Travis Wright: out on the set, right? Like, okay, we're not going
Travis Wright: to do an empty. Well, maybe they'll do them on Ethereum,
Travis Wright: where the gas fees were so high. However, now that
Travis Wright: proof of stake that they're not as high.
Joel Comm: Since Biogenesis as the name of the project and they
Joel Comm: posted this video out there. And if you will, scroll
Joel Comm: down the tweets of what people have said in English.
Joel Comm: I think I speak for everyone when I say we
Joel Comm: won't be buying. Let's see.
Travis Wright: What did you say?
Joel Comm: I said, Congratulations to Square Enix for having the companies
Joel Comm: to lead into the future in spite of the smear
Joel Comm: job that's been done on NFT is gamers are pushing
Joel Comm: back for all the wrong reasons. Eventually they'll get it.
Joel Comm: This is why all pioneers and early adopters come before
Joel Comm: mass adoption. By the way, only one like no comments.
Joel Comm: 6 hours after tweeting I am so shadow banned. I
Joel Comm: am so Shadow banned still, and I don't know if
Joel Comm: it's ever going to get lifted. I hear some other
Joel Comm: people on Twitter are getting more.
Travis Wright: You need to start with your opinions. Joel, you're very
Travis Wright: opinionated with your words and your thoughts and the things
Travis Wright: that you say.
Joel Comm: No, thank you, Steph. You while this hurts. No, thanks.
Joel Comm: This sucks. No. And block. No, no, no, no. Where
Joel Comm: is the dislike button? So people, the fans, these are
Joel Comm: mass adopters you're looking at here. They have been told
Joel Comm: that nfts are one thing when they don't see the
Joel Comm: vision for what they could be about. And I think
Joel Comm: Square Enix jumping in here and in doing it is
Joel Comm: a great move for them and I applaud them and
Joel Comm: I hope that they don't back off. I hope that
Joel Comm: they go through with that because I guarantee that they're
Joel Comm: going to sell these things like crazy because FOMO happens, right?
Joel Comm: The sale happens to people like, I'm not buying one
Joel Comm: of those. I'm not buying one of those. And then
Joel Comm: they see the start.
Travis Wright: I'm buying for those. Oh my gosh, they're going, I
Travis Wright: got a square penis. What you say clear in. Okay.
Travis Wright: Something like that. Yeah. He has a square penis. Like,
Travis Wright: that's the weird thing. Good luck with that. I don't
Travis Wright: know how you identify.
Joel Comm: Square peanut t. Oh, thanks for tolerating us. Everybody, please
Joel Comm: do go take just if we've made you laugh. Okay.
Joel Comm: This is the this is the the guidelines for today.
Joel Comm: If we made you laugh and you haven't written a
Joel Comm: review for us yet, please go over to iTunes or
Joel Comm: wherever you listen to the show, give us five stars
Joel Comm: and let us know that we made you laugh. Maybe
Joel Comm: you learn something to doesn't cost you any. Thing to
Joel Comm: be nice to others, and that would be really nice
Joel Comm: to us because we do the show for you for
Joel Comm: free out of the goodness of our hearts.
Travis Wright: Educational and hilarious is what we like to think. Information
Travis Wright: and a lot of is just off the top of
Travis Wright: the dome. It's not. None of that's premeditated. It's all
Travis Wright: decentralized humor that is centralized in our brains.
Joel Comm: I mean, look, we already spent a lot of time recording.
Joel Comm: It's not like we take a ton of time, you know, preparing.
Joel Comm: We're thankful to producer Lisa for calling stories for us.
Joel Comm: And then we come together before the show. And maybe
Joel Comm: what we'll do here in coming episode is we'll go
Joel Comm: live during the recording of a show and introduce you
Joel Comm: to Lisa. And you could see how we actually, you know,
Joel Comm: go through stories and decide which ones we're going to
Joel Comm: talk about on an episode, and then we'll actually do
Joel Comm: the show live, which we then put out as an episode.
Joel Comm: Would that be fun to do?
Travis Wright: It sounds great, and I do think our production value
Travis Wright: is getting better. I like how we're showcasing the news
Travis Wright: articles in between us while we're talking and doing the thing,
