We're the Guinea pigs. I mean, that's why already before we did anything formal, we kind of put you through the wringer. Like we had to be not just run it, but be really comfortable with it. And I think that's sort of how we view the entire space. Like if we can't set it up, then how is it going to be a workable opt out solution in any regard? You know, I know some people that are full time software engineers may scoff at that and say, but if you have a pulse on the average individual and the way people's time is limited, families, full-time jobs that have nothing to do with this. We have to create workable, viable, realistic solutions that average huckleberries can utilize. And if we don't, there's a lot at stake. There really is. It's not fun and games anymore. Yeah, I know a lot of software developers. I am one. And I don't know any that self hosts all their own infrastructure. This isn't just a technical barrier. It's a time energy in patients barrier. Even people who can have a totally sovereign independent computing existence, the vast majority do not, at least not in full. Many use central service providers for all sorts of things. And it's for the exact reason that Josh mentioned, which is it's super convenient to do so. As I mentioned before, there's a lot of things that are really convenient as children, you know?

He's laughing all the way to the bank. Could they put a cut out of John oats? No, Andrew ridgeley. I don't think hall and Oates has that kind of a contract. I could be wrong, but Andrew originally was more than happy to take 30% or whatever his cut was out of the songwriting and all that shit. So I want to touch one again on a past show that we did, which actually was a good show, songs from great movie scenes, right? And I don't know if you guys, I'm sure you did. The Twilight Zone movie?

"Row studios in the crap part of Bedford, New York, and the crap part of the south fork of Long Island. It's the men in blazers podcast Rodgers. We back. Like my dean, the man who retired. Only to become the Premier League for our official in the worst remake of sexy beast ever. He's like a fighter pilot who retired only to fly drones. Just what I thought I was out. Classic move to resign and then it's like James Brown thrown off his cape and the PGA and they're like, no, no, no. Come back, mate, you always are king. Robots are gonna robot. Roger, you're back from Italy. Yes. What? I know you love the place. Went to your favorite place in the world. Tell us about it. Rossio, yes, I did a couple of meetings with clubs a lot of cacio E Pepe. I went to a new city Bologna that never eaten my way around before I found a new drink. I've always been a vin Santo kind of guy, but I got into sword dinon after dinner, sippy sip drink, murto de, have you ever had that? Uh huh. I don't have ever had murto. There's a clue in the name, I think it's extracted from the Myrtle bush and where knee deep into my bush day though encountered so many peas across the land reveling genuinely. Alongside me in every single plate of prosciutto, they could get their hands on, including this dude, Andrew picorna, who sent us this Raven Devo do the honors. Roger saw you on the Ponte vecchio in Florence today, but did not want to interrupt as you were with your wife, nice of you to try and spread the beautiful game to a country who can't manage to qualify for the World Cup. Yeah, so there's somewhere on the Italian men in blazers. Walmart in blazers. I wonder what blazer is. I've been doing a lot of Google English to Italian. Well, this is remember when we did the Latin, it was something recti veste, men correctly dressed because we couldn't translate it into Latin, so it may be similarly hard to translate it into Italian. Yeah, I think Google in Italian is telling its blazer, which I find hard to believe. I think it may be. USA, come back to us when you've won the Euros, but God bless Italy, gave it one big thing that I really noticed. The haircut that seems to be catching on across the nation of Italy is it's bald people pretending to be had. Wow, really? In the Antonio Conte, a sort of Antonio Conte vibe. I did think that it was like an effort to reclaim a sense of context, but there's just it was more like, you know, when bald guys just grow the hair long and straggly, letting the curls grow in and create kind of like an avant garde stylish. I guess it only stylish in an Italian way a stylish co move, it is. I thought that I wondered if there is and I wonder if the Italian sociologist listening has there been the miracle as they probably call over there, the miracle of Antonio Conte's hair resurrection, his hair nissans. Do you think they actually believed that it wasn't a Turkish hair transplant Devo and they're just like if he can do it, he's my inspiration. I can do it. I don't remember this, but years ago, my dad became obsessed that I looked exactly like an Italian TV star who played inspector montalbano on Italian television. And he was a ball gent with a beard, bit of a scruffy beard. There's definitely a Devo resemblance, but I'm very sad that Italy's going backwards and they've into full on baldur Nile. God, I read a lot of Montevideo while I was there, thanks to many gfs who had a lot of calvino at an incredible, incredible reading holiday, but I will say it was bloody moving to be back in Italy for the first time post COVID after months of watching that nation agonize has really it was Europe's ground zero and served up the rest of the world just viral video after viral video with like neighborhood singing opera together from their balconies or cops doing dance routines in deserted cities to see that nation throng again thrive again was unbelievably humanly moving. God bless you, I can not wait to be back in that great nation. They're talking a great Italian. It is with incredible sadness that we mark the passing of Tony sirico. Poorly walnuts, all right. Talking about Italians with great hair, they say, what a character, what a life, what an actor, what a passing. I mean, unforgettable in that role on The Sopranos own the whole show, you know, I was moved to read his entire bio afterwards. I mean, that really was the role that changed his life and the post Sopranos world. And beloved within the Hollywood community in the Italian American acting community as well. I love the story about him when The Sopranos cast appeared at the group shop for the cover. I think it was Rolling Stone at their height poorly. Stood up with a baseball bat slung over his right shoulder and it came out the no hairdresser on The Sopranos set was allowed to touch his hair. That style that thick, two silver winged on either side, he blow dried it, sprayed it himself always dear listeners always spray your hair yourself right. You do your work. You do your own hair work. You do do your own work and Terence winter, I'll give him the final word a writer on The Sopranos tweeted. The first thing Tony ever told me literally on day one was you're the new rider. Let me tell you something. If you ever write a script while I die first, I die. Then you die. God, go through life. Like Tony serie cake, but without the killing GFPs listening. Yeah, same rule that exists in the Premier League writers from Russia. I'm sure. Okay, the biggest news out of many places world headquarters. We just sold it. But you wrote me out, you think you wrote me out mother come on. I love that. Instant death to referee. I love that. It's very good. The biggest news at a men in blazers world headquarters this week, rod, you're sold out show with Frank Lampard and Everton football club this Thursday at Washington, D.C.'s historic Howard theater. And while the show was sold out, you're doing a post show drink with GFPs at the Brixton on U street and that is open to anyone and everyone, even if they did not attend the show. Yeah, be honest, I want to do the post show drink at RFK stadium. But it turned out that it's unavailable. But I am giddy. Oh, so bloody giddy. I can't even tell you I was away in Italy all I was thinking about was this show that city, Washington, D.C., a place I used to live and love so much with a club that I love more than anything. And despite what I've done to my blood pressure this year, here's what I'll say, GFPs, if you're coming to the show, be ready for something very, very special. And even if you're not, please come be with us at the Brixton right afterwards. If you didn't get a ticket, but what a come and raise a beer, come down to you street among the former haunts of Duke Ellington, Langston Hughes, and now us. I imagine the number of Ben's chili bowl half smokes you consume after that one will be at rod Strickland levels. Again, it's going down at the Brixton on new street right after the show at 9 p.m. Eastern Time. And with that, roger, can we get a welcome back from Italy tost? I want to raise this first third of the day to the U.S. women's national team, who not only beat Mexico one they'll last night.

"All right folks, well, strap yourselves in for a wild ride today because while most of my guests are indeed in the realm of health and biohacking and fitness, my guest today are not only into all of that, but they're also into this idea of health being about more than just biohacking. These guys have studied up on wealth. They've set it up on relationships and they also happen to be real experts in the whole realm of crypto and NFTs. And so this is going to be a fun discussion. Andrew masato is a guy who I ran into quite some time ago in New York City, I believe it was doctor Holland Chen, I think, who might have introduced us, but anyways, I got a chance to hang out with Andrew and kind of see him in his space over there a few years ago. He owns biohacking group dot com. He's a serial entrepreneur. He's an investor. He's very active in blockchain. He was the founding CMO of reserve, which is backed by Peter Thiel and coinbase and a few others, which is currently at a 1 billion plus valuation. He was the founding CMO of another company called hedera hashgraph, which was backed by Google and IBM and Boeing with a fully diluted 10 billion plus valuation and crypto. Recently launched an NFT based website that he'll be talking about quite a bit as well. And he's lectured on Internet marketing, Harvard Business school. He founded and sold higher click SEO agency. He's lectured at Oxford University. He is widely quoted by a lot of industry leaders on growth marketing, he has worked as a lawyer in the UK as an investment banking analyst in Australia. So this guy is up to quite a bit. He's a real renaissance dude. Andrew before I introduce your partner in crime, he's also joining us, say hello, just so people know your voices. Hey, Ben, that was quite the introduction. I'm going to make sure that my staff never give that length of introduction. Again, to anyone. You know, people send me these bios and you know, I got to fill people in, hey, at least I'll help to make you credible, ma'am. I appreciate you. Make you sound smart. Jordan is my other podcast guest on today's show. Jordan fried. He's a blockchain evangelist, a crypto capitalist. He's currently the chairman and the CEO of immutable holdings, which is a blockchain holdings company. He founded and operates NFT dot com, which is a relatively newly launched website. We'll be talking about as well as immutable asset management. He was also part of the founding team behind hetero hash graft. I served the senior VP of business development there until the end of 2020 and they signed partnerships again with Google and IBM and Boeing and LGE electronics and that kind of launched that particular offering into being one of the top hundred cryptocurrencies in the world in Jordan is also cofounded and served as CEO of buffered VPN, which is a real popular VPN service online. And Jordan's been involved in Bitcoin and crypto since 2012, so Jordan, welcome also to today's show. Thanks, Ben. Big fan and super excited to talk about the intersection between biohacking your world in crypto because I think there's a lot more overlap than people realize. I actually want to get into get into quite a bit about that. But first of all, tell me about you guys a story. How did you meet and what's been the journey of you two working together? Well, we have really been through quite a few companies together to join in and I our story starts, data back in, I think, close to 2010 over ten years ago, I'd started higher click Jordan came in as sort of almost like a CEO, really, and he built that company up. The one I started to sell, eventually he started buffered VPN, and I went on to do Internet marketing. And I think the and then in 2017, we reunited after he just sold Buffett VPN. We reunited and started a hashgraph together. And man, that was just timing within 6 months we had raised a 100 million at a $6 billion valuation. Now it's at like between a ten to $20 $1 billion valuation. And then he came to me more recently and it's just so hard not to say no to this guy because a is a great salesman and B and I have many passions together and we've been together for such a long time. I think that's one thing to emphasize we have kept a strong bond over time is someone I deeply trust and love and our paths have collided and we've just added a lot of value to each other. So I'm really grateful for that long-term relationship and for our continued success all the way up to what is now us cofounding NFT dot com together. Yeah, I've got to give the other perspective Ben because the truth is, Andrew's always been one step ahead of me. He's a few years older and definitely a few years wiser, but when he was just getting into performance marketing or sort of actually I would say just getting out of performance marketing and moving on to the next thing. I was really just getting into it. When Andrew and I had met, Andrew has been over a decade now. It was clear to me that this guy is on the bleeding edge of what's coming, often before other people realize it. You got to realize at the time we were doing search engine we were doing search engine optimization. It was still a relatively nascent industry. It's a cottage industry for those that don't know, optimizing your search profile. So you rank higher in the SEO cert pages. It's very lucrative. If you can rank number one for best credit cards, that's a $100 million a year keyword for companies.

Fuck present spoiler now or the other rumors that have been in. Some fashion is going to appear in spiderman. Three but more. The rumors had been leaning towards the former being that in some fashion. They will be a spider man siding and bingham to What do you think about those rumors. And if so what fashioned do you think. Spiderman appears one. The prospect is excites me. Because that means that they're confident enough to setup venom three and then too. I believe that if he does appear it is for the entire value of count. It with me okay. can i count along with. This is gonna be count dracula from You know sesame street not a sponsor one scene still the one Not just the one if you couldn't get the fucking bit so yeah i think for one scene. I might see to one of peter parker in later. One of actual spidey the cool. I'd like that a lot if they want to. Pay tom hawn that much. You this with spiderman. Is it though. I think it could be andrus. Fuck you fuck you. Wow the book just got a lot. Thicker ooh yeah book. Just got home and it would have to be andrus or tom's right to potentially tom's i mean potentially either i would say fifty chance especially because of the. Yeah dude andrew.

You know with the tom holland was so vast it'd be it'd be interesting that been warned. Have any kind of you know citing or mentions of any of the superheroes when the live in the world is full of them and so we think about andrew garfield like his peter parker. His road was the smallest like we knew the least about the outside of his york city and what. His world contained So it could you know something like that Is it's hard to say though.

I don't i don't like this disgusting but it. It makes the most sense. Well listen. i'm old attics. i'm they called. Me schematic stein. What here's a weird synchronicity. You can realistically. I know schematics. And schematic subway is the number one franchise restaurant in the united states and across the world. So that would give us the most advantage of doing the subs across america. So as systems expert like myself that is using systems and systematical process learning and thinking. I can solve subs across america myself. While you couldn't brought up any company could have brought up. you know. Mike's new jersey. Mike's now they're subways. Sandwiches are too high quality up. You know any other shitty sandwich chain but you know you'd have to bring the shittiest one because something listen cassavetes let me tell you something. Let me tell you something. Subway's good representation of how fucked up. America is how like like we talked about our -tarian stuff. All these old buildings like built ornately beautiful now. Any new building literally looks like a gray piece of shit. Looks like a square gray building. Every new building every amazon warehouse day. And these are these are companies are making the most money possible like they can have some cool building. Led's like whites or whatever ornate nece none because we're because we're just We suck dick as a society. So subways a good representation of america. Google cheap easy fat bunch of calories made by person that's strung out on methadone You know what i mean. There's a that's like the opioid. It represents an opioid problem in america. Just saying that if you look a better representation of how shitty america's and i love america don't don't get me wrong. Red wind blew all the way through. You know what i mean. I'll put a boot in their ass but but subway is what we are. The only way it'd be better as if it was a subway buffet but in a way is like a buffet because america's so fat we can't wait for them to cook our food. We have to go to a place where they'll have it ready as we go as we pay. The food is ready because we're so fat stuff in our going right right. Well you know. I was going to point out the fact that subway's headquarters is in the same town that i live in. So it's weird synchronicity. Because you brought up subway. You could've brought up any sandwich chain but you brought up subway and i was just talking about michael one. Ross banned the synchronous cities. I mean a little bit behind the scenes. Before i even had a podcast. I went to the susquehanna river on my way back from my first time ever going to washington. Dc in the middle of the pandemic like two months into the plan dynamic.

Talk about subway. It's because you are in subways headquarters town. This is the subway connection. I'm so spot on. I can solve the hunger crisis. I can solve the race issue. I can solve a lot of other ilk. No systemic racism. I can solve the abortion problem. It's always free subs. Because if people knew it people knew they got pregnant. Let's say you're sixteen and pregnant and you're like how am i going to feed my child. I don't know if. I have enough money to take care of my child but if you know there's a little restaurant called subway where every single day you can get three subs. No matter what no questions asked.

You can't add different towards me when we go for run and then you know i'm still gonna pass to you so i'll go. I'll just try to be involved in. Meet as many people as i possibly could.

There's always an old pro around Book dude Andrew just found out this weekend. T t racist weekend is all excited. I thought i did i. I mean i think i did okay. I'm happy happy with the results.
