Paul Tudor Jones Says Bitcoin Has a 'Real Problem' in the U.S.
"Going to talk about Paul Tudor Jones. He was kind of one of those early Bitcoin bulls from the world of traditional finance back in 2021. Now he has some fresh comments on Bitcoin in the U.S. facing regulatory headwinds and quote real problems given the climate in D.C.. We're going to talk about that and more. He also made some comments about the macroeconomic picture, given that he thinks that the fed is going to stop all those interest rate hikes that have been suppressing activity and markets, but we'll talk to that second. All right, the Bitcoin comment. I have a thought, but I want to throw it to Wendy on this one. What do you think, PT was one of those initial profits of the chat file world who got into Bitcoin not long ago? What do you think about these latest comments? I don't think anybody is a profit when it comes to crypto and Bitcoin. I mean, people, when they started using Bitcoin originally, like way, way back in the day, it was meant to make secure private transactions online for specific things. So and things have evolved the narrative continues to change. But I do like to see some guys from traditional finance coming into the space. I don't trust them as far as I can throw them. And I do agree with a lot of his thoughts that crypto is going to surge due to the current economic state, especially in the United States of America. And when I say surge, you guys, I'm not saying it's going to happen overnight. I'm not saying it's going to happen now. I am simply saying it takes time. But number should potentially go up. I mean, I got a counter take on this one. I mean, this kind of commentary kind of puts him in opposition to prominent Bitcoin maxis such as Michael saylor, who have been saying that, hey, the regulatory stance in the U.S. toward Bitcoin specifically has actually been favorable through this crackdown, right? You have SEC chair Gary gensler saying, hey, Bitcoin. It's the one true commodity. It doesn't have an issuer. It's decentralized enough relative to Ethereum and others out there in the market, which may be more securities like. So I think that this kind of puts him in opposition to what, in my opinion, may be the more informed take relative to the regulatory conversations going on in D.C. right now.

Devin Nunes Did So Much to Debunk the Russia Hoax Five Years Ago
"You deserve great credit. Am I incorrect in saying that we learned very little from the Durham book report and most of the work was the work that you and cash did 5 years ago, repurposed with a couple citations. Devin, your thoughts. Well, look, I think that's exactly right. Back in, we knew this in 2017. I always like to say that when Mueller walked through the door with his pit bull Andrew weissmann, they knew there was no evidence of Russian collusion because they had none. They would have provided it to us already who were conducting an investigation, Charlie. And why do I say I know that? Well, they would have had every single bit of reason to give us everything they had in early 2017 right when Trump is becoming president right after he fires Comey, but why not give us all the evidence? And so, you know, we had been watching this for a long time, and we knew there was no evidence of Russian collusion. You know, even just in my experience dealing with Russia for many, many years before that. Fast forward, it took us only about 6, 8 months to put together what was called then the newness memo that we actually launched around the 1st of February 2018. And that clearly laid out everything. I think the only thing that we learned through his investigation is that it really dialed it in on just the people at the top. The only new names and maybe I'm forgetting a couple, but it was really the alphabet scam that went on from Georgia Tech joffe guy named joffe, danchenko, who was their phony Russian that was just a former brookings institution guy. And then the Clinton campaign operative Dolan. Now the worst part with all this is I think no one can understand why he wasn't able to bring a conspiracy charge. I think that's the frustrating part because against these DoJ and FBI rogue officials.

Sen. Ron Johnson on Blinken's Lies About Meeting With Hunter Biden
"Dive right into it. I see here new emails show Tony blinken line to the U.S. Senate under oath about meeting with Hunter Biden, senator tell us about it. Well, Charlie, well, what he lied about is that he said he didn't ever email Hunter Biden. Remember, center grass and I were investigating Hunter Biden late 2019, early 2020. Remember December 2019, the FBI took possession of his laptop to 2020 was COVID. It wasn't easy to do an investigation. People wouldn't come in for interviews, but a number of people from the State Department did come in for interviews. We actually had an interview scheduled with Anthony blinken. Remember, he was deputy Secretary of State. And at some point in time, he decided to cancel that. The election happens, and then lo and behold, because he wanted to become Secretary of State, he decided to come in for an interview. And so we transcribed in and if you ask them all kinds of questions, we are primarily concerned about the May 27th meeting that he had scheduled with hunter, which got canceled because bull Biden died, I think, three days later. But then the follow-up meeting, a launch immediately occurred in July of 20 21. Of 2020. And so we want to ask him, what did he and hunter talk about and what he told us? No, it's just golf and grandkids. It's going to be golf and grandkids, just like Lois Lerner, remember that not low sort of Loretta lynch with Bill Clinton. Just golf and grandkids. Right. So again, they talked about Boeing. So how can you really press them too hard on that when you're talking about the tragedy of losing a brother? But during that interview, we asked him point blank. What kind of communications do you have with hunter? I mean, did you talk to him on the phone? He said he really didn't. We asked him, well, do you communicate him through email and text? And he said, no, now what we've seen because of the Hunter Biden laptop is we have emails where Anthony blinken was emailing Hunter Biden and probably even worse. His wife, Evan Ryan, is her name. She worked for the State Department also under Obama.

Bitcoins Rally to $30K
"Today we are talking price, but it's not just a boring old price show. Like I said, we're talking about the narrative steamroller behind Bitcoin right now. It is chewing up and spitting out pretenders to the narrative throne, and I'd be lying if I said it wasn't beautiful to see. So for the news, last night, Bitcoin reached a price of $30,000 for the first time since June of last year, that milestone came on the back of another scorching hot day of trading that saw the price rise by more than 6%. The broader context is that Bitcoin has quietly had one of its strongest periods in recent history to start the year. Bitcoin is up more than 80% since the beginning of January, recording the two strongest months since October 2021 in January and March. Even with a basically flat February, the first quarter of this year was the strongest three month stretch for Bitcoin since the opening quarter of 2021, which was of course when Elon Musk announced that Tesla had bought Bitcoin. This is also the first time that three months of gains have been strung together since that first quarter of 2021 as well. Of course, it is hard to know if this price action is the beginning of a new bull market or is simply a strong bear market rally. Bitcoin bull markets have in the past follow the halving, which occurs roughly every four years. In 2020, the bull market didn't get fully underway until 5 months after the halving. The 2024 having is still more than a year away, but the class of market participant with eyes on Bitcoin has changed significantly over the last three years. It's entirely possible that investors in the space are generally more tuned into Bitcoin's cyclicality and her front running that anticipated price action.

Nashville council to vote on restoring ousted state lawmaker
"Nashville officials could be poised to reinstate one of two black Democrats expelled by the Republican colleagues at the state House last Thursday. Nashville's metro council has called a Monday meeting to address the vacancy left by the expulsion of former state representative Justin Jones, many council members have publicly commented that they want to send Jones back to the state House essentially turning his expulsion into a long weekend, Jones spoke with NBC's meet the press. This was not as an attack on us, but it was an attempt at silence our districts. Jones and colleague Justin Pearson of Memphis, who are black, were propelled into the national spotlight when the Tennessee House voted to expel them for using a bull horn at the podium in support of gun violence protesters, as for Pearson, he's awaiting word from Shelby county Tennessee, commissioners meet Wednesday, and could pick Pearson to fill his own vacancy. It's unclear how House Republicans would respond to seeing the lawmakers they kicked out sent right back, special elections for the seats would take place in coming months. I'm Jennifer King

"They're also going to look at battery cell technologies, software systems. So there's a lot of Red Bull assistance can be given going forwards and as well as marketing and a big name back in Formula One. Manufacturers are always quite popular in front of Matt. It's good news for Formula One, isn't it? Yeah, massive news. It's such a turnaround that one is four to almost laughed out of F one after that last participation in a Jaguar guys. And not only is it forward, but it's actual forward if you like, because last time it was through the front of Jaguar. So trying to market to Americans like British saloons and lots of wood and lots of leather, whereas proper Ford and it's funny like I know it's just like time doing. But I remember at the Goodwood festival of speed a few years ago speaking to from people from Volkswagen said, we want to market our cars and we're going to do it through lifestyle and people being on the beach and a skate park and on a BMX because that's how we're going to advertise it now as a lifestyle brand. So to actually have motor sport and the win on Sunday sell on Monday adage being back at the forefront, yesterday Netflix also just sustainability drive and as a marketing platform and we've just had Jim Farley, the CEO and president of Ford saying, this is how we're marketing ourselves to a younger new generation. It's through going around in circles and winning and dynamic mode sport. You know, okay, it keeps us in a job. That's so good to hear as a validation of F one and sort of such a turnaround and where it was and obviously timing of the announcement we've just had the FIA talk about the new engine manufacturers confirmed for 2026. So nearly on Audi, and although the time is running out, the fact that Porsche and Honda are floating around and Ford coming on is where Formula One is really, really good shape at a minute. And that's very, very pleasing. Now for readers of auto sport and mobile dot com, you wrote a nice piece this morning about the Red Bull four deal, why Ford gave them up Porsche couldn't obviously those talks collapsed last summer. What is your conclusion from it? What does Red Bull get out of this four deal that it wasn't getting from Porsche? Without being too facetious, money and not much else. But that's exactly what they want. So there will be like, you know, it's called a strategic and technical partnership on Red Bull powertrain specifically. So you can look at that Porsche wanted to buy half the race stream, so Red Bull advanced technologies. And that would have meant certain things. Obviously, if you look at like the 9 one 9 hybrid project, yes, that was Porsche ran by Andrea Seidel, but if you speak to the people involved, they're like, it was our skunk works car with a couple of Porsche stickers on it. And so everyone could reap the success from that. And that's not what Porsche were coming to the table with this time. They wanted to be very heavily involved. So for your Christian hoarder, you've got to have your Stuttgart counterpart and whether that means you've got your helmet marker, you've got to have you get one card apart or someone to just cancel out what Helmut Marco says because, you know, sometimes that can be outrageous or a bit not as corporate as Porsche would like it. In principle, those wants are fine. But when Red Bull was at that point in time, you know, running away with both championships and such a successful formula that has worked so well it's the only team Mercedes to win in Formula One. In the past decade, it was totally reasonable Red Bull to go, we don't want to disrupt that. So thanks, but no thanks to Porsche. Ford, you know, they'll get their logos and I'm sure you can expect what's the current car that a Ford puma Red Bull envy 2025 edition, something like that. So they'll get the marketing from that, but they'll be less fair, they won't be too interventionist with Red Bull powertrains, which we know is already the engine on the dyno. So if they're going to have the money and investment which, you know, let's not beat around the bush. It's Red Bull cofounder Dietrich Massachusetts died. They need to secure a long-term future, which wasn't necessarily in doubt without the Ford ownership, but it certainly secures it. So you've got that coming in, but it's hands off, you know, Jim Farley is not going to be micromanaging. This will not be a repeat of the Toyota flop where you've got the operation in the UK but then Japan trying to manage it remotely and that massive clash of cultures. But Ford does have vast debts of research, money, some expertise in electric powertrains, whether that's from the road cars or from the world rally championship with the puma. So whether that is applicable, they will have an input, but Red Bull be allowed to do their own business. And not be bankrolled fully, but having that investment is showed up finances and in turn selling Daniel Ricciardo to do a show running in Michigan to support for it. That's a really nice partnership and works well for both parties. And like I said in my piece, you know, it's not that Porsche's attitude to F one was wrong by any means. But Porsche's attitude to working with Red Bull, that wasn't going to work, which

"So, this is going back over the last week million hour or so. Matt, what did you make of that launch? Long, like you say, John. Last year's launch, we were so excited to see the new cars and that seemed to really drag on and then Red Bull gave us more of that really, but only in New York City. So it was a bit more hype around it, but you know, we heard from the skateboarders and the skiers and lots of interference from the microphone touched and represented earring, which some of those things that can't be helped, but it did drag on before we got an awful lot of insight. We saw several Red Bull Formula One cars, which saw we saw the one we thought we were waiting for, but when that arrived, it wasn't the one we were waiting for either. So can I be really snobbish and say for the wider audience, perhaps launching it in New York City, it did the job and sort of introduces the brand a bit more, but you know, you have to scroll in comments at the side of the field. And I think we were sort of in that camp John just by sort of watching a little bit before anything actually happened, but you know, modern Formula One more is more, isn't it? Yeah, exactly. I don't think it's a bad thing. I'm having an F one car launch in New York. If you go back 5 years, ten years, it would have been pretty unheard of. You probably have had two people turning up and one of those would have been a policeman giving them a parking ticket, probably. So I think the fact is working like that. I think it's great for Formula One. The team called it a season launch. They claimed it was the RB 19, but when you look in the details of the car, the changes look minimal. And I think one of the big giveaways this year, the rearview mirrors, we've got bigger mirrors this year. So any team that rolls out is 22 car, it's an instant giveaway. It's got an delivery though. Do you like the livery? A new disappointed. We've got to wait a little bit more to see the car. I'm always disappointed that we've got to wait, you know, see the finer technical details, but that's part of the course now, whether it's Red Bull, not turning up with those really sort of cut outside pods until bar signer testing or Mercedes last year, not doing their full concept till Bahrain. I know we don't have the two tests this year, but you used to waiting. And I don't care what anyone says. I know you've had the camo delivery as before, but the whole point of Red Bull being an F one is to boost the brand of the energy drinks company. So I wasn't expecting a fluorescent green livery with a boldly dramatic design. We will get that because they've been answer they'll be three sort of fan liveries, but obviously it's all about it's all about pushing advertisement and you usually have that bike consistency. Okay, they've gone from like white to yellow outlines in the past and that paint, but you sort of knew what you're getting with Red Bull and anyone who sort of disappointed that it's not a wildly different scheme. I guess politely are probably kidding themselves. We always sort of nuts and bolts knew what we're going to be still, you know, has all come on to it as a poorly kept secret but we knew we're going to get the Honda logo and all the sponsors. So I suppose I suppose it's a good thing that has a consistency and a bit of bit of recognition, even if it's even if it's nothing sort of dramatic. When they roll out in Bahrain for the first test, the car is going to look very different. And even for the first race, there'll be a few secrets because Adrian newey never disappoints rebels one of the most aggressive when it comes to aero development. And I think we knew when the launch was going to be one of the first, you knew it wasn't going to be the brand new car because I can't imagine Chris and Horner going to the aero department saying, yeah, we'll have three weeks to launch the car and scrap all that development time. So not really unexpected. But the teams coming off the back of a pretty dominant season, reliability cost it at the start of the season. It was a heavy car. They took the weight off and they're in pretty much in a class of their own until Mercedes got his act together towards the end of the year. But also winter of a bit of punishment for the cost cap penalty, the less aero development time. What do you think they're going to be this year? Our Mercedes the dark horse or a Red Bull got enough in hand, you think, to keep at the front? I go be an optimist for the good of the championship and say that we will have more of a battle. But if you look at where the teams are coming from Red Bull 17 race wins such a snare on such a pedestal, which is a fall off that is completely would be so dramatic and then you got from the other way around Mercedes have such a step to climb interesting that think both for his jumping to conclusions that Ferrari might not be in the mix, but it was more likely Mercedes that will be the main challenger there. I know that Toto Wolff has gone with the narrative of playing down expectations for the season and that Tully is with last season when everyone thought Mercedes were playing it down and then they actually were really not where we thought they'd be or massively behind the curve. I expect this to sort of revert to pre 2022 spec Mercedes, where they're playing down their chances a little bit more as things are heading out that they're pleased by the simulator numbers and feel that despite the end of last season there were peaks and troughs of performance seal it into consistency. So all the balancing and Abu Dhabi I think there will be a marked step forward to bring that gap and obviously as you said with the cost cap and Red Bull being punished for success with the sliding scale of the aerodynamic testing rigs, there will be like a convergence but it's so they were so dominant and maximum stuff and was so dominant looking at a swing of like a second a lap in some case and that such a massive amount of time in the context of Formula One, but everyone on even Red Bull fans surely want to have their Sunday afternoon spiced up a little bit by having a closer competition that will make the wins more satisfying. So I'm going to go with that side and say yes, it will it will be closer because losing that aero time is even for Adrian Pierre vase like there's such a great technical team. It's a massive, massive hit in what are already constricted window. So you have to think for the validation of these new rules and that sliding sale. You have to think it will hurt Red Bull significantly and tangible for us as viewers, commentators, fans, whatever. I mean, today I wasn't just about the car launch. We also got confirmation that Ford's planned to type with Red Bull. The American car giant is becoming a partner. It must be known as Red Bull Ford powertrains supplying both Red Bull and alpha Tory from 2026 to at least 2030. Work's going to start immediately. So forward are going to get in trench with red one of their milkshakes factory helped develop the new engine, work on the internal combustion engine and the three 50 kW electric engine.

"Whenever you think about what might the institutions be thinking, think individually, think about a 32 year old analyst or associate who's trying to make it to partner who put their neck on the table to fight for allocation into FTX and now just got completely buckled and is trying to figure out what they do next. Probably isn't going to be launching another headlong into crypto strategy or funder allocation. Those things are just going to take time for people to recover from. I think the good news is that Robinhood, the growth tech stocks, the fake companies, those just don't have any tailwinds. They probably might not ever hit their all time highs again. There is just no structural momentum behind them. If you think about what I said earlier, where crypto was the first into the toilet and maybe it's the first out. The reason is because it has a bunch of progress as a bunch of applications that has cash flows. You can evaluate a reasonable manner. And a lot of these other things don't. Robinhood, no matter how hard how big it gets, a payment forward flow, business model means that it's really never going to generate a ton of capital at scale. And so I think it's going to take time. The institutions aren't all gone. It's just some made unfortunate decisions to allocate into funds or investment opportunities that didn't pan out. But that's just kind of how it goes. And it's unfortunate that there isn't any continuity if someone who's just like the crypto guy at one of the big endowments because that way it would be better. They would allocate during the bear market. They would not just come back and buy the top kind of like they always do. But that's just life. You know, they just have pretty bad timing pretty much across every psychological. So I get that argument. I just want to advance take the devil's argument case for a second. Okay, the fake me companies and the meme stocks and such together down bad too. All right, but they didn't have a ten to $15 billion fraud who bribed one third of all Congress that literally kind of went bankrupt. The biggest fraud scandal, whatever we're calling this thing now since enron, does that cause a permanent stain on our industry in ways that may be the other mistakes that were made during the cheap money era. Haven't? What do you think about that argument? So I think first of all, Nikola founder, Trevor Milton, he's in jail. Chamath launched, I think, 20 spacs that have all pretty much gone down 95%. There's a fair amount of blame to be passed around when we're thinking about 2021 and what exactly happened. SPF is the biggest fraud of them all. He has funny hair, and he looks strange. And so people like to write headlines about him and all the strange things that he does. And that's just something that we're going to have to collectively live through throughout the case. And that's happening in October. So it's not going to away anytime soon. But everyone right now is just shocked or I think they're coming out of the shock. They're probably dealing with it now, but in the fullness of time, I think people will realize that crypto has real use cases has real traction at scale. Many of these other more speculative companies and projects and ideas did not.

"Number one, you have a lot of price discovery in these smaller tokens just because you have a lot of VC unlocks. You have a lot of liquidity farm tokens that are coming out, so on and so forth. There's a lot of ability for people to find the right price for these things. And you have all of the teams unlocking as well if they had them through the bull market. And so it's actually very healthy that you're seeing a lot of volatility. And you're seeing a lot of dispersion as well between tokens that have a lot of revenue and those that don't. And you've seen that in the price movement of things like lido and rocket pool. And I think that's very healthy. And so it's worth paying attention to that stuff because those will tell you kind of where the crypto native bid really is. It's really at this point it's hedge funds, it's retail, and it's a small smattering of institutions that are buying the majors. But the signals you get from the crypto natives, what they're willing to trade their stables for in a time of a pretty deep bear market. That's a pretty good signal for what might be the next meadow or the next narrative. The other thing that I think of and just look for is does fully diluted valuation match circulating valuation. It's hard for me to make a judgment call on things that have like 10% circulating just because you're playing this weird low float game and is that the right price is that the wrong price, it just depends on what the supply of unlocks is going to be in the future. And it's really hard to forecast that, especially if you're thinking about who sells and who doesn't. And then the final thing that I look for is which tokens are going to break, they're all time high first, where circulating matches fully diluted. And that is usually a pretty good indicator of where things go next.

"Increased as we go. I look at that when we think about the metaverse platform and weird worlds. You can imagine a scenario where AI becomes so sophisticated that you won't know if you're interacting with a human or you're interacting with an AI avatar in a metaverse. And so I believe that just like food supply today, you pay more for organic food. You want to know that it was treated a certain way or there wasn't this chemicals or those chemicals on it. I think there'll be a point in time when you're looking at your content. You're looking at your interactions and you're saying, you know, I want to validation that I am dealing with human content or human interaction. And so I think that will be a factor in metaverses at some point in the future where you'll have to have that toggle or that flip of the switch to validate that you're dealing with a real human on the other side. Yeah, thank you exactly right. And for me, it would be called proof of humanity. Just to prove that a human and not an NPC or not an AI, again, man, this is just going to be crazy out there. And I love the fact that you said utilizing AI for copywriting. So do you mean like what kind of copywriting lore or so right now we're using it as a first pass for email copy for tweets, Twitter copy, email subject lines, and so we're playing with it on those aspects, blogs, we're looking at it for blog writing. We haven't we haven't done it on the creative side. Yet, we haven't tried it on a creative side. Well, I think because I was looking through YouTube channel yesterday and I could see you've got a number of different law based videos. Where you can it's a clever way of using kind of still artwork, but making it an animation style and then you've got this kind of voice-over telling the law and anyone that goes to that much trouble to keep pumping out law for an NFT project is obviously deep than the game. So for respect to there, but I can see that because I've had a try writing law before and it's not necessarily easy, but I can imagine that that's kind of what AI would be good at as well just because you know it can be effectively inventing some kind of sci-fi concept or whatever and then just taking cues from sci-fi fantasy fiction all that good stuff can see that being a thing very soon. Yeah, it would be interesting. And as the AI gets better at you being able to feed it input and here's kind of the inventory of material media that I'd like for you to prioritize over everything else that's out there and if we could point them to our website for instance and you mentioned that it's rich in content and it is. And it starts using the bulls and apes terminology in the story that would be that would be pretty cool. We haven't done that yet. All right, well hey, another thing to add to the road map Anthony and I guess yeah, speaking of the road map just as we start to finish off this part of the podcast, look, yeah, anything else you want to say in terms of what you guys are working on at the moment, what's coming down the pipe and why people should take a look and potentially want to get involved. So I mentioned the ape mint February 7th. What we're doing with the 8 mint is going to push the envelope on digital identity. And this is these are all stepping stones along the way. The gamification that we have in place of tokenomics, all of that are stepping stones along the way to get to the metaverse and to get to weird world. So it's always been part of our long-term vision. And with the digital identity aspects of the apes, they're going to be a dynamic PFP collection, which means we will have a loot box mechanisms for people to be able to open up loot boxes and get new traits into their inventory. And then if those traits are in their inventory, they'll be able to equip and de quip traits from their ape. So essentially designing their own ape as they would see fit, which means we'll have changes in rarity, they'll be a lot of fun. They'll be a lot of gamification aspects to it. You know, you will be able to design a fashion designer of your own of your own ape and maybe you're good at designing apes and putting traits together and those will sell sell better because you're the one who you're the one who designed it. So there's going to be a fun, really fun aspects to see how the community really starts leveraging this dynamic PFP and what kind of creations and they'll be 5000 male and 5000 female. So we'll have plenty of traits on both sides. We'll have ongoing inclusion, new traits as we go. So this will be an ongoing machine of generating new traits opening up loot boxes, unlocking new traits, new traits and a lot of excitement on traits as their first scene in the collection. And so this is going to be a fun road ahead as we release the apes. The other thing that we're doing is we're in the middle of design and testing for a physical card game. So think magic the gathering type of a card game. That'll be coming out probably within the next two or three months. We'll start with limited edition for our holders. But then we are talking to some partners for more mass production of the card game as well. So that's the other way that we're going to be building out the IP in this first half of the year. Fantastic. Look forward to all that rolling out Anthony sounds intriguing and yeah, the dynamic customizable NFTs starting to see a bit of that at the moment. I think that'll be a huge trend this year across NFTs and web three and just brings another level of fun and interactivity. Excuse me, creativity. And yeah, I mean, user user control journey is really your owner controlled journeys, which is great to see. Let's go to a quick break, though, listeners and then we'll come back. We'll have some fun. We will run Anthony through the very first crypto conversation hot take round. For 2023, back in one second.

Anthony is with Litt as CEO. Cofounder of balls and apes, the balls and apes project, and if take community, whole lot of stuff happening as we go as we've learned. Anthony, you may or may not be aware, but I like to finish each podcast with a quick round of rapid fire crypto conversation uptakes. Are you up for it? Excellent sounds good to me. It's gonna run some questions that you Anthony just want kind of quick snappy hot take style answers. No right or wrong way to do it. Let's do it though. Question one, where would you say that you sit on the Bitcoin maximalist to multi chain opportunist spectrum? I'm a multi multi chain multi chain for sure. I also look, Bitcoin store value, no doubt about it. I'm a maxi on that. But I think they're going to be multi chain multi chain ecosystem in the future. That is the ecosystem of the future in my mind. Yeah, how to argue with that. I think I agree. But it is fine to like hold love and respect. Bitcoin for what it is, but also play in that moldy Jane universe. The two can coexist and they should, and they will, as simple as that really, what would you say then the Anthony is your thermos conviction crypto opinion? Which cryptocurrency? No, sorry, the conviction, crypto, opinion. What opinion about anything crypto related blockchain? Do you have the most conviction in? All transactions at some point in the future will be through crypto and blockchain. So I like it. All right. Bill Gates famously sued Anthony that we tend to overestimate what we can accomplish in two years and underestimate what we can accomplish in ten. With that in mind, look, ten years is a long time. But, you know, with three, the metaverse, what does it start to look like in ten years time? In ten years time, I think social social media as we know it will be gone and all of that virtual engagement will be happening in the metaverse in some shape or form. Or can't wait to see you there. The flip side of that, of course, Anthony is a quote by William Gibson who said that the future is already here. It's just not evenly distributed. Can you think of an example of the future being here right now, but most people aren't really aware of it. Yeah, absolutely. So we pay, we pay, we've got 40 something people on the team. And more than half of them are paid via crypto. And the convenience and ease at what it takes to run payroll via crypto is something that people most people don't grasp yet because they're just not paying that way. Absolutely. I like it. All right. Just to finish off maybe with some kind of positives and negative, you know, NFTs are still very exciting even here and the beer markets, but what's something positive that NFTs are going to enable in the world and the year or two ahead, do you think? So right now what's happening is in GaryVee. That's what at least I heard term the kid dolt category. And so right now, NFTs are triggering and enabling, you know, adults have fun, like they did when they were kids, whether it was collecting, trading, interacting, it's the kind of era, the Al war, outlaw, the adults in our community love the lore. Their kids love the lore. And so that is a great form of escapism from a lot of what's going on in the world. And I believe that that's going to continue to be the case on a greater and greater basis over the next one to two years. Where adults will be able to share a lot of the fun that they're doing with their kids through NFTs. That's a great answer, Anthony. What was that story just run that term you used by me again? Yeah, I like it. I haven't heard that term before, but I completely relate and agree. NFTs as simply fun. And they're becoming more fun. As they become more dynamic and as much more exotic new ways to interact with them coming down, the line which is cool. Let's do negative though. I mean, obviously this all sorts of scams and rug pulls and all that stuff. Yeah, anything that worries you about the industry. Right now, the biggest thing that worries me with the industry is gatekeeping. And so it's funny is that, you know, I talk through web three and blockchain technology removing gatekeepers. Well, the quote unquote OG collectors of the space. You know, they do their own gatekeeping right now. And there's a lot of market movers that get to pick and choose what projects are going to pump. And that type of gatekeeping is an obstacle to mainstream adoption. And so that is something that I'm particularly concerned about as we look over the next couple of years. Yeah, well, say it Anthony. Let's start to finish off. Finally, what is your favorite science fiction book film or TV show? Book, book series. So Doc tower, Stephen King, dark tower. No, I like it. I like it. I don't know if I've read that, but yeah, good choice. All right, I think it's like, he's got like 8 or 9 books and they're all very, very long. Is that has that been adapted into a film or a TV show? It was adapted into a film very, very short a few years ago. And it was really more of a summary of all, it was intended to be kind of a lord of the ring kind of style, but production costs, and it just never picked up, but it's worth a watch. All right, thank you, Anthony. And thank you for coming on the show. Hey, this has been fun. I have enjoyed talking to you. And nothing else to say really Anthony, except again, you know, tell the people where they can go to find out more about the balls and apes project and look to do you have a Twitter handle where do you hang out online? Bulls and apes dot com is the best. It's both an apes project dot com bulls and apes dot com redirects right to bulls and apes project dot com makes it easier. And all of our socials are on there. My socials are on there, my LinkedIn, my Twitter, and I do my best to answer DMs. So awesome. Hey, thank you very much, Anthony. All the best. And bye for now. Thank you, Andy. All right, there you go. There was Anthony from Boston ipes and bulls. Yeah. Hey, there we go. We reached the end of the first crypto conversation podcast. For 20 23, how are we feeling about this year team? Man, have been through the ringer. Over the last year haven't we? Luckily, it's supposed to be summer and my part of the world, which means for most listeners, you probably in the depths of not just the crypto winter, but also real life winter. Which can be a struggle, I wish I could say the sun was shining here, but it's actually we've got a storm passing through New Zealand at the moment, so it's actually it's warm, but we've got some fairly torrential rain and winds, yeah, rushing through. So as much of the I'd rather be down on the Lake or out of the beach, perhaps on a paddle board. It's not really the case. And instead stuck at home, sitting on the couch, recording podcasts, really. I think we'll just do that for this week. So hey, do stick around, make sure you subscribe to the crypto conversation in whatever podcast app. You are using, so you know when each new episode drops and yeah, if you are a regular listener and you still listening here at the end of the show, thank you. Please do give us a 5 star rating and Apple iTunes Apple podcast app or on Spotify. Make sure you hit the subscribe button and yeah, always remember you can shoot me an email if you got feedback or something to say Andy a brave new coin dot com. Thanks for listening to me.

"For sure. I mean, we talk a lot about AI at bull's bulls and apes. And we're using it too to be transparent. We're looking at copywriting and how good the AI can get to writing copy that is on brand, on tone, and you've got to tweak it, certainly. But we're taking our first stab at some of our copywriting using AI. There's no doubt in my mind that this is just going to be exponentially increased as we go. I look at that when we think about the metaverse platform and weird worlds.

So this will be an ongoing machine of generating new traits opening up loot boxes, unlocking new traits, new traits and a lot of excitement on traits as their first scene in the collection. And so this is going to be a fun road ahead as we release the apes. The other thing that we're doing is we're in the middle of design and testing for a physical card game. So think magic the gathering type of a card game. That'll be coming out probably within the next two or three months. We'll start with limited edition for our holders. But then we are talking to some partners for more mass production of the card game as well. So that's the other way that we're going to be building out the IP in this first half of the year. Fantastic. Look forward to all that rolling out Anthony sounds intriguing and yeah, the dynamic customizable NFTs starting to see a bit of that at the moment. I think that'll be a huge trend this year across NFTs and web three and just brings another level of fun and interactivity. Excuse me, creativity. And yeah, I mean, user user control journey is really your owner controlled journeys, which is great to see. Let's go to a quick break, though, listeners and then we'll come back.

"Guys are trying to do. Yeah, and one of the things I was important to us when we started the bulls and apes project was we wanted to build a company, a brand IP, the web three way, and to us that meant taking advantage of the technology that was in place so decentralization was important, permissionless, removing gatekeepers intermediaries. When you think about our vision for the companies to create a world of infinite opportunities and we believe that web three is that place that it's that place that for all of those that hit against an intermediary that hit against the gatekeeper that feel like they were limited in the opportunities that were presented to them. We wanted to look at that and say, okay, well, how can we push the envelope on it? And we have an initiative called community tokenization. So I mentioned our ERC 20 token. It's called methane. And I mentioned the tokenomics that we put in place are fairly robust and fun and gamified. Well, we've done with community tokenization is we said, okay, the blockchain is public. It's a public ledger, and it's intended to give power and control to those that own the assets themselves. So removing those gatekeepers. It's permissionless. So what we're doing right now is we are tokenizing projects, holders of NFTs outside of our project. And what we're doing is we're allowing those projects that have been tokenized, the holders to come to our website and to collect our methane token. And so this is us trying to be pioneers and push the envelope around what it means to own an asset and web three. And how you can be rewarded for holding that asset even by a project that isn't the project that you own those NFTs for. And so we feel like that is pretty groundbreaking. We're pushing the envelopes on it. And I'll talk through the vision. Our mission as a company is to empower communities to build worlds where they could live their best life. And where that's going to come to fruition is we are setting forth on a metaverse play in 2023. And our metaverse is going to be not just one big triple-A kind of a game. It's more about individual communities building worlds within our metaverse called weird worlds, and so these tokenized communities are going to be earning the methane token. They're going to be able to use that methane token ultimately to build out worlds in our metaverse. And so that is a longer term vision for our company to really make our vision admission come alive will be in weird worlds through community tokenization. Fascinating Anthony and lucky are nothing is not ambitious, great, great to hear those plans. I talked before about the narrative shifts, right? So, you know, we have this incredible bull market and across crypto blockchain NFTs, metaverse, DeFi. Great to see. And that time, of course, terms like metaverse went from being extremely, well, NFT went from being extremely obscure to some of the buzziest words for good or bad. On the planet and we saw all this attention shift to I suppose the potential business models underpinning web three and how they could perhaps disrupt existing web two models. For the better and so as a result, fantastic amount of capital and of course human potential human talent flowed into the space. Of course, you know, a year or so later a year or so into the beer market. Things are a bit different. And the narrative at the moment in terms of tick is moved to AI, I'm sure it hasn't escaped your notice Anthony. And of course, you know, there's a lot of capital and talent suddenly moving, you know, chasing, chasing the hot new thing. I mean, that's one way to characterize it. Of course, things are never that black and white. Certainly not as black and white as I'm making it. But just within that context, how do you think that affects I suppose that the people that are left building web three and what does that mean for web three? As I don't know, as a place to pitch your tent, take your talent or take your investment capital at the moment. Big questions, but interested in your thoughts, Anthony. I think it depends on conviction. So the conviction that I had for web three, two years ago, when I started to really, really dive into it and the conviction that I have now, it's actually amplified. I've seen what we can do. I've seen the impact that web three can have on individuals lives. Where they feel like they have connection and opportunity and are able to use their creativity and collaborate with like minded people. That's all very, very real, and we are seeing it happen real time on a day to today basis within the bulls and apes community. And that to me is powerful. It's special. And it makes me want to go farther faster. And so that is the conviction that we have at both an apes. So the fact that there might be some a little bit less attention, I'm here right now, is a bit of a blessing in disguise for us because we know what we're building. We know what we want to build. And it's giving us a chance to have a stronger voice as the noise has been inevitably reduced. And that is that is a builder's ability to dream. So if you believe in what you're building, I think this is a solid place for us. Now, with that conviction, we believe I believe personally that the convenience of web three of transacting and web three of transacting on a blockchain as the technology advances in the obstacles become reduced and it becomes a little bit more of safety and security controls in place and there's some help or applications that are built out in the ecosystem. I believe that mainstream adoption is a bit of a no brainer and so if I have conviction in what we're building and I believe that this technology will be adopted by the mainstream, then it's just about it's just a matter of continuing to deliver and having the patience to wait out some of the bear market.

Hi, Andy, how are you? Nice to nice to be here. Nice to have you here. Anthony and a nice to have your company again crypto conversation listeners. As Anthony and I record today, it's Tuesday, 10th of January here in New Zealand and my part of the world probably going to publish this podcast reasonably quickly Anthony simply because, well, it's the first podcast of the year. So Anthony, it's good to meet you happy new year to you and of course happy new year to all crypto conversation podcast listeners. How are we doing Anthony? I'm doing excellent doing very, very well. Looking forward to 2023, that's for sure. Yeah, me too, me too. Good to put the well 2020 was a rough one 2021. I mean, it was good in the markets, but still, you know, the pandemic dragged on. And then, of course, it dragged on and 2022. And we got hit by an incredible beer market, which continues at the moment, but it is a new year, so it's wide open spaces before us. So I think it's better to start on a positive optimistic note than to L too much on the issues of the past, right? Absolutely. Absolutely. That's for sure. That's how we're looking at it. We are embracing the bear and trying to deliver as much as possible. I love it. All right, well, let's do what we do at the beginning of the show, Anthony. Could you please introduce yourself, I'd love to just hear a little bit about your story, your background in the lead up to what you're doing with balls and eggs. No problem. So Anthony Mongol, I've got a 20 plus year career in the corporate world, so I worked in commercial P and C, property casualty insurance, global companies like excel, like axa. So very, very traditional conservative industry, very, very traditional career path that I had. But then I got roped into web three. I got sucked in. I was just, I always looked at insur tech and disruptive technology. So I was certainly familiar with blockchain blockchain is a big topic in the insurance world. But then when I heard about NFTs and smart contracts, that's what started to peak my interest a little bit more and I started getting involved and collecting NFTs in particular. And then when I got into the NFT land, I just was kind of blown away by the community aspects of it. And then it was really, really interested in some of the new business models like douse that were being spun up. And this is roughly spring summer of 2021. So really got in during that during that bull market of NFTs. Volunteering my time just providing some guidance and advisory to some projects. Behind the scenes, and then with all of that potential, as I'm sure you and your audience are familiar with, there's a lot of cash grabs and scams and rug pulls and just people that just had no idea on how to build a business. A lot of good people, but just a lot of inefficiencies that we saw we saw in the space and so myself and the other two cofounders Manny and gee. You know, we got together and said, okay, can we bring our experience to the table? And Manny and Guillaume serial entrepreneurs in the web two space. And so the three of us thought that we could. And so we started bulls and apes. Very, very nice Anthony. So I suppose then this is a good opportunity just to learn a little bit more about bulls and apes and yeah, I mean, and then I suppose we'll talk more about the current state of the market. Web three NFTs, what kind of narrative shifts happening. But yeah, I guess the origin story with Bose and apes. So for us, we looked at our experience and we wanted to create a project and a community that was very much focused on financials, financial strategy, building wealth, retaining wealth. And so the bull character he ate character, bull market, charging forward, aping into investments, you know, reckless abandon. We thought that that captured a lot of the spirit of what we saw in web three and the NFT world. And so that was our focus. We came in as a prefunded project. So we're self funded prefunded. So us the mint wasn't about raising capital or trying to trying to raise some racism investments, some money. It was really about building community. And so we focused on that with an accelerated road map. We had a 6 month eth back guarantee built into our smart contract. So anybody who minted with us had 6 months to decide whether they liked what we were delivering and as you can imagine in a bear market, people thought we were crazy. We minted May 31st, 2022. So right at the beginning of the bear. And people said we were not ten K collection. It was 3D art, so it was pretty expensive. What was the what was the mint price Anthony? So .17 was pre sale .22 was public. So we wound up minting out in about 67 hours in the bear and our floor price now is roughly four or 5 X mid price. And so we've done pretty well. That was our bulk collection. We had tokenomics from day one that we introduced in ERC 20 token that has been very, very well received by our community fun gamification. We've got over an hour narrated video of our lore in place we've done free mince with teen bowls and God bulls, God bulls are roughly four eth floor right now, and that was a free mint based on our tokenomics. And just recently we did on Thursday, we did a pre sale for our apes. So our apes are going to be minted on February 7th. We sold, we sold 1500 mint passes in 75 seconds, we sold 5000 in 40 minutes, and that was our absolute limit. For our pre sale event and those were at .22 eth each. And so right in the middle of the bear and we've done pretty decent job of building community and building with trust and credibility and transparency. Well, yeah, I mean, how to argue against that Anthony, and yeah, I mean, you're right. I'm just looking at the original or the genesis boozing collection on open sea and yeah, you're right, the floor price is 0.748 at the moment, so I think you said that three or four X from the mint price and, you know, my rough back of the envelope myths suggests that is exactly right. So yeah, not too shabby considering where the market is at. You know, and listeners if you're not familiar with Bose and apes, the website obviously will be in the show notes, but it is simply bulls and apes project. Dot com. And unlike I suppose, you know, some NFT collections or brands. Anthony, you know, your website is fairly comprehensive actually. You do a pretty good job of explaining the project and some of the values and ideas, the vision behind the project. And different benefits and so on and I suppose we want this all to go. So listeners, of course, can look through the website, but always better to hear it from the horse's mouth and Anthony or from the ball. The ball's mouth, the apes mouth, if you like, if you're happy to take on that role, Anthony, yeah, just love to hear a bit more about the longer term vision and maybe then we can speak to some of the more unique aspects of

"With one notable section, which will come to a minute. I will swap them around. But I think in terms of what they have done, their part in the Red Bull story at the moment, Vettel, he's number one. He's the first prodigy, the first Red Bull junior champion headline act he made Red Bull, not single handedly, of course, but a credible front running, one of the big F one teams. And I actually was surprised when I was putting this together. Max Verstappen is now started more Grand Prix at Red Bull than Vettel did. 141 238. Yeah, you think, oh, I'm actually still really young, which he is. But obviously in that time, he's one half as many races. Now, of course, circumstances come into it again. But you can only deliver, you know, you can deliver what you're handed, right? And both of them have done that, but vessels done it more times. Now, in three, 5, 15, he said, didn't he? 15 years time. That's nonsense, right? Because the car is terrible. Wherever. Okay, it's a nice thing to say when you've just won the I get that. So but yeah, he could be fully expect that max will continue to deliver the next few years and his numbers will get better and he'll probably take the number one spot. But I think as it stands now, it's four one on titles and I think it has to be said not just because it was more because he was first. I am in full agreement, I think that yeah, I think you would talk about Seb and Red Bull in the same way you would look at Michael Schumacher and Ferrari or Lewis Hamilton with Mercedes, just like the driver who really won that string of titles has taken so many wins and really I think defined the success of that team. And I think that it will probably take a bit of time for max to reach that kind of status. I think that same actx wins, 22, 23 titles and sort of goes on a run of championships, then yeah, it's another conversation. And I think I would agree, he's probably his peak is higher than sevres was. But I think that Seb really just he just dominated with that team and they all worked so well together and he was, yeah, really their first big star. And I think that some of the forms is, I mean, I remember Singapore 2013 when he was so comfortably ahead of the field. There was a safety car, it sort of like really bunched things up again. And he was pulling away like two seconds a lap and it was just such an everything just works so, so perfectly altogether. And I think he was just fantastic for the team. And you mentioned being the only driver to win for both Red Bull teams as well. And I mean, that win at Monza I mean, that was just a real, we knew he was good, but to see that in such difficult conditions. I think it really did put him on the map. So I think, yeah, I'm happy with that ranking. I think that said he defined what success meant to Red Bull in the early years. So I think this is deserving of number one. And these stories complete as well. He's Red Bull story. This is complete. And he's got that for me. He's best win probably was that first one. There was a remarkable really showed this guy's going to be something, right? We know that Maxwell would use his world champion. I don't think we've yet seen max's greatest Grand Prix drive. There will be a wet weather race. It might be after Lewis retire because all the time loses around, you've got two wet weather geniuses, operating at the same time, but there will be a race. Better one that one in an un fancy car, Lewis won the British Grand Prix over a minute in 2008. There will be a race where max does that and he'll just add to his story more titles more wins and then yeah as you say he'll move up the order. And I also hope we touched upon this in the top 15 in the season, but I also hope he rounds off the rough edges. Don't want to go down this big road again, but he hasn't yet shown this properly. Is that the notable exception? They showed it in some of their highlights packages or whatever with the F one stuff of and Jensen going for the top by side and just giving each other room and that's what I want to say. I want to see max and Lewis or max and leclerc or whoever it is that comes out with a competitive card. Hopefully lots of teams and just seeing that kind of will to wheel fighting that we had with Vettel and button and Alonso and Hamilton and Raikkonen. They were all hard but fair and that's the last thing knowing when to knowing when to quit and come back the next time, not just commit all the time and I think that's the thing. That's the last little bit of the max positive I think. Absolutely well, that's our podcast for today. Thank you, Kev, thank you for the list. Thank you, Luke. And thanks everybody listening. We'll be back soon with Kev's top ten Williams F one drivers..

"This time, we are discussing something of an F one newcomer, but nevertheless, one of the most successful in the championships history, it's Red Bull. But before we dive into our top ten ranking of Red Bull's F one races, let's ask the person who's constant list writing is the inspiration for this series to go over how I put some rankings together, sort of what's chief editor, Kevin Turner. Now, many of you will have heard this in our previous episode ranking the ten best Ferrari drivers, but for any new listeners or those who missed the last one, Kev, please tell us more. Yep, so it's taking each of the big 6 F one teams, of which I think is remarkable actually Red Bull's got itself into that list given it's much younger than the others. 75 world championship wins and it's going to overtake lotus, I think unless they produce a terrible car in 2022, which I don't think we think will happen. So yeah, they had to be on the list even though they were much younger, but yeah, so it's all the drivers that are driven for those teams and it's what they've achieved at the team. Both in terms of wins and what they've done with the machinery at their disposal because obviously that changes over time, how they've contributed to building those teams or detracting from them if that's been the case at various points in history. And obviously for this one because Red Bull is young and they're actually that many drivers that are driven for the a team, if you like, we've also included the torus O now for our tour drivers. And I think it's worth pointing out actually that Red Bull contributed an incredible amount to junior driving programs. I consider them to be the modern equivalent of the Philip Morris mulberry situation, I bet if you went through this and looked at the number of drivers that Red Bull has either had on its program more assisted over the years, it would be really quite impressive now, but for this we're focusing on the Red Bull drivers in F one at those drivers have driven for one of the Red Bull teams. We better introduce a second guess for this podcast. F one reporter Luke Smith leak are you ready to disagree? Maybe shout at care food bearing mind is your boss. He's wrangling. I don't know, don't worry about that, but I looked not person that shouts. I'm sure he'll put.

"Like I do think if rob like has these the therapy session? No, no, no, no, no. When he's doing the debate thing. It's like, oh, what happened? You know, like rob has these moments where he does this stuff and you're like, where did that come from? You know, like, even early in the first quarter, he had that little, you know, that he catches a pass and he's like, okay, dribble and like a little floater in the lane. That's a crazy touch shot and that takes a lot of feel. And it's just not something every big can pull out of their bag. I think he's got stuff there. He just hasn't really harnessed it, you know? And so it's a matter of just unlocking some of that stuff, but he was great. When he comes up high at the great backdoor to Jalen, you know, nobody gets him going the other way, right? When he has his back to the basket and he rather he has he's facing the basket and he'll turn, you know, that was definitely crazy a month ago. This time a little bit. It was the first personal file where he caught it, gathered himself, and he didn't turn his back to look to make a pass. He went straight up with it and got into the free throw line and earned that the hard way. You know, I think that was part of his game. His offensive game that was driving me crazy this past month, but he didn't even hesitate on that in that play. On that play, you know, within a minute left in the game, that's a huge spot. You want to see more of that, you know, from rob, you know, late in games. And having the bonus there on the fowl is them going downhill a ton in this game, shooting almost all their first shot baskets at the rim. They got away from that a little bit in the second half. But overall they were pretty aggressive in this game going at the smaller Chicago wings. The bulls were pretty much out all of their defensive wings and certainly the two good players the size there in ball and Levine. So they were missing a ton defensively in the Celtics took advantage of it. They went to the rim time and time again. It was a great game to do the splits. The big men and had the ball in their hands. So you got a ton out of that. You suddenly took it to them early and set a tone in this game. You held a lead for large stretches like Joe sway said they were going to make their run. They shoot 8 to 13 for that stretch where they took the lead from three. They were just knocking down everything. I would do suma was unbelievable. So this is a good win. This is a rock solid win, even though you're supposed to beat this team and blah, blah, blah, blah. You played well for most of it. You nearly blew it with some key miscues and the fourth, but you got up on your feet, you had that bonus late and you take advantage of a big break there on the file call and walk out of here without even needing to run away game set. And they had to get a pair of stops there after that too. A good one on vujovic, you got a decent look. And then you get the follow on to rose in there. So execution just getting better, a win like the pacers one a week ago, a win like this one when you're getting the practice situations. Again, again, John, it's great, right?.

"Do that tonight against the bulls, and a decent amount of that falls a part of it is the shooting part of it is poor shooting from three, and no doubt. But a decent chunk of that falls on Frank Vogel. Yeah, you know, I thought this was the most glaring thing, and you saw it right from the tip. Is that anytime Anthony Davis caught the ball no matter where he was on the floor, the bulls were happy to send another helper, defender toward his way forcing him to get rid of the ball and then rotate behind the action. Honestly, I'm surprised that teams haven't seen it. But they're going to get a lot more now. Well, I think right now, particularly, and I made this point to you on Twitter is that I said the teams can get away with this right now because you don't have LeBron James on the floor to counteract that and punish teams like you said for their choices here. Because once Anthony Davis swings the ball out and he gets the ball to LeBron James or someone else, he's able to make the next play and find the open man. And hopefully you're not going to open shot down. But I think historically with Anthony Davis on the Lakers in particular, what I've noticed, and I'm sure you've noticed this too, is that he's not as fast passing out of double teams. He kind of waits a beat and then passes the ball out. But at that point, you know, the defense behind him has already rotated over. They kind of zone up behind it, but they're able to cover the other four guys on the floor. Ideally, once AD gets the ball and he sees the double coming, he should pass that ball instantly and then keep the ball moving that way. But we didn't see that a lot tonight. And then I think the other frustrating thing and then I think this is where you can probably blame Vogel a little bit here is that they didn't get Anthony Davis in the lower block where he could do more damage. I thought that they had him catching the ball too often from the free throw line extended, where there's more help that way. That's just not, and it was frustrated because you saw what happened over and over and over again. It was like watching a broken clock, like nothing changed. And so it was basically forcing 80 to make tough shots over two defenders or scrambling and having someone else on before make a play. And that's just not good. It was crazy. It would drove me a little bit nuts, Matt, because it was like the Lakers said, well, we're struggling to get the ball to Anthony Davis in the post. So let's just not post him up anymore. But he's playing against a bunch of dudes that are 6 6. And the solution was, oh, well, let's give in to what they want and let's not have our dominant interior presence in the paint anymore. That's madness. It's a swing swing attack off the dribble, force the defense to collapse, and then you're either getting the ball up on the rim and letting AD feast on the offensive glass or you've got a drop off past to him and we didn't see that much at all..

"Kinda fun try hard. Bull's team on heinrich gordon dang no sioni etcetera etcetera. And so you know. John had a during where he was just as aggressive as as our tourists being a terrorist and But you're you're reads absolutely and to me. It's just. I mean obviously ownership wants to win but they hire this guy gave a long term contract to do what he wants and my take on. It was like this. Ain't this ain't working. So let's let's let's do and you can see what i like about. Their plan is If you look at two they address specific needs so rich. Gave them not only another all star player. All-star caliber player kabul score. But a very good passer unselfish player can run offense. Threw him makes light better and catch and shoot situations takes. You know responsibilities off his plate. Okay then you get to the off season. The bulls were last in the league in free-throw attempts last year twenty seven turnovers. Boom here comes on rosa. What does he do he gets to. The line doesn't turn the ball over caruso doesn't turn the ball were much ball you know. It's like they address specific as of today their third league turnovers per game. I didn't check their turnover rate. But i know it's good. And i believe tied for eighth and free throw attempts per game. So they like they're aggressive but they're aggressively targeting specific. Needs this team has had over the last couple years. Do you think the lakers would take alex. Caruso right now Who would think so. I would that would think they could use a player like that. What's your read casey. On zach levine. And this team via free agent next year. Do you look at as a kind of foregone conclusion or is how this plays this year going to be impactful for a player. Who before this season hasn't won anything really. I mean that's questioned mannix fossil your first but i try i. I don't think that last one. As as much i just you guys like you guys have been around long enough. You never say never i. I don't know foregone conclusion is the right thing..

So you know, those are red flags for us that we need to get our house in order, literally the house if you if you haven't refinance yet, and you're still in a higher Interest mortgage you might consider now would be the time to go ahead and get that done because you know once inflation does start Nobody knows for sure, but I think we're going to see us and they've kept move up and inflation again is the it's the cost of of goods. It's it's the fact that when you go to the gas pump, everybody's felt this part of inflation. It's getting more expensive to get that full tank of gas and therefore that chips away at at what the income that we generate from Ernesto when we're in retirement and no longer working. Then you really need to be aware of inflation. The other thing is interest rates when interest rates go higher. The cost of items The Ive borrowed you. You've you've taken leave alone, uh, borrowed money. So you have loans out there. Obviously higher interest rates is more out. Go for you so I want people to to work with us and let us help you not just on the asset side, not just on the given investment advice in placing some of these assets into risk free or very low risk investments. Um you also need to let us help you on the debt side. And and that's what we loved in. So just keep in mind that even if it's $100 extra On top of your nest egg that adds up over time and the magic of compounding interest. Um, just don't think those little changes. Uh, realize those little changes do matter. Right every little bit matters. And in fact, you know if you put an extra $100 toward your debts each month or each of them each month over time, that will make a real difference. I mean, an extra $100 toward a car loan. Every month. That's $1200 a year. And for most people that additional $1200 a year in car payments is going to have a really big impact. And I always think of it like this. The more debt you get rid of the more your money is truly your money, right? That's true. You know, I think that's a great way to look at Tony, and it was kind of stick with this savings theme for just a little bit. Let's look at your 41 K plan. You know, for millions of Americans at 41 K is really the foundation that we use when we plan for your financial future in retirement. So some of these strategies go hand in hand with the four Oh one K so you can talk to your employer and you can easily have your contributions automatically, as most of you do already deducted from your paycheck. But you don't know that You can also Consider having it automatically increased. You know, you can ask the employer to bump it up 1% and what I've found over time. If you do that, slowly. You don't even miss it. You know, 1% is not a big deal. Um, when you're when you're doing it slowly, maybe you're getting raises, and you really going fill it at all. Well, you're right, Michael. I mean, especially if you have things automatically taken out of your paycheck or pay off that debt right away. What you never had you'll never miss. And I think that's a good perspective. And let's stick with this savings theme a bit. And look at the 41 K plans. I mean, for a lot of people out there millions of Americans a 41 K is the foundation of their overall retirement strategy, and I think that's that's huge, right. Yep, it is. I You know the thing about a 41 K. Most of the people in the audience listening, they get a match and free money is a beautiful thing. And so, Tony, we need to take advantage of that. If we're offered a match at the very minimum, you need to be contributing enough to kick in the four match. So that side of the table. Uh, you know, it's kind of like getting your cake too. And, uh, You need to. You need to take full advantage of what your company's offering and we we, We look at 401 K plans for clients that Ask our advice on picking and choosing those mutual funds inside of that, that I don't charge anything for that. And I would be more than happy to look and see what you're currently doing and make maybe some suggestions because the one thing It is true in our businesses, things do not stay stagnant. You know, um we get new administrations and we get industries that become hot industries that become cold And you need a set of eyes looking that will help guy you And to make sure that you have your your money allocated that four. Oh one k in the right places, so I would encourage listeners to utilize us. Utilize the fact that we might, um, give you a question to ask your employer that you haven't thought about or you're just not aware of, you know the ketchup provisions. Once you get 50 or great that you need to kick them in, you need to start putting more money away and will help remind you to do that. Yeah, And I think that's huge. Michael and this has been a really great discussion so far, but we should probably take a quick break here. Is there anything you want to.
The No B******t Marketing Podcast
"bull" Discussed on The No B******t Marketing Podcast
"Now. This workshop is the one i do for c. suite leaders chief executives leadership teams owners etc across the country. One person called me out to book me and said dave. I love the content. I think it's really important. I've seen your delivery and videos. I'm confident you would be engaging. But i can't book you because of the word bullshit spelled b. u. l. l. dollars signed h exclamation point hashtag in the title of the workshop. Which was how to avoid becoming a no bullshit marketer. I've also had people that. I reached out to to see if they wanted to be a guest on this. Very show. Say to me. I love the show. I just don't feel comfortable being on the show because of the name. No bull dollar sign h exclamation point. Hashtag marketing know. What's interesting about all of this. Is that in society. The word shit is commonly used by the vast majority of people here in the united states. At least i'm going to guess it's been used by ninety percent or more of people that are adults are probably even younger but yet when you put the word shit out it's okay. Add the word bull in front of shit and it's not okay. This part is just interesting to me because a bullshitting so bull shit must be worse than human shit which i'm assuming the word shit on its own is either human shit or i guess it is just human ship because some will actually used the phrase dog shit sometimes and horse shit and bullshit. So i'm assuming that. The other forms of feces are worse than human shit. Which i find to be absurd. The key thing about bullshit is that it is a term that has been studied and researched for quite a long time. Because it's been around so long. There's even a book called on bullshit that i'll put in the show notes i've written. That's not my book. I've written and spoken about bullshit and i've heard others to it as well and the reason it's discussed so much. What was the origin of it. And why do we use it and really bullshit is meant to call out what we see as executive weird doing things in a way. That isn't best even when you know better Fabricating trying to get someone to believe something to benefit you when it's not necessarily completely accurate. And sometimes it's meant about lying but not always see lying different than bullshitting. Lying is when you know the truth and you seek to flat. Out make the truth. False bullshitting can be exaggerated give it can be twisting things to use the phrase and the word and the story to manipulate someone to doing things the way that you want. So that's one area about bullshit so when we talk about the word bullshit of touched on how. It's kind of weird. That we worry about putting the word bull in front of the word shit. When shit is acceptable. The second thing is i wanted to talk about the meaning of the word bullshit and how. It's not necessarily lying in fact it doesn't have to be lying. Lying is different than maybe worse because lying. You know the truth. And you try to make the truth false but bullshitting is mainly when you're exaggerating or fabricating or trying to manipulate things in your way when you know it's not necessarily completely accurate but interestingly there are some who use bullshit or bullshitter as a compliment. She's a good be esser hitter and this often refers to some of they think could be good at sales or politics or presenting and there. It's a compliment. So now we've learned that a bulls shit is worse than our shit. We've learned that what bullshit means..
