This is like a rabbit hole, but, you know, posture is a very interesting topic because there's lots of studies out there that show that actually fixing posture doesn't do absolutely anything to preventing pain. So you could say posture is a shitcoin. The best way to fix your posture, I think, is just sell your chair. So, Sam, I've been doing a muscle activation technique, which is basically a realignment of your nervous system, I guess, so you have a bunch of different muscles that help your joints to mobilize your joints, and oftentimes we get micro injuries and some of these slow twitch deep muscles stop working and then your body compensates, of course, by utilizing other muscles around that muscle group or within that muscle group to compensate, and sometimes those muscles start refiring again and sometimes they don't. And so I've been doing this thing called muscle activation technique, and my posture has actually improved because this technician has gone through and ensured that all of these muscles that are around these joints for mobility and range of motion are activated. And I feel I actually it's almost like magic. It's just really weird thing because you don't really you can't really tell what's going on because you don't really feel a lot of these muscles individually. But after doing this for about 10 sessions now, I feel better physically than I have in a long time. My posture is better. It feels like my body is working in much better than it has in the past. And it's really been it's really and he and he actually and people have noticed my posture getting better. And it's just a really it's it's probably the best health care money because he doesn't take insurance or anything. It's probably the best health care money I have spent in the last 20 years. Wow, that's quite an endorsement. Well, that's great. Happy it's up for you. Muscle activation techniques. What's up, Terrence, Dom, good morning. Yeah, I've been working on my posture, too. I look back at like old bull market charts, Bitcoin, and then in my posture, I like puff up and my everything kind of comes much better. I just have to go on internal team videos, watch my great colleagues, Steven Lubka and put them. Sometimes they look the same to me because they have the exact same posture and they're the same height. But yes, that's always a good reminder to improve my posture. That is true, as you learn about Bitcoin and you stop watching every single five minute candle staring at the chart and just stop worrying and go outside and start learning about other things, start learning about the network, reading books, the posture improves. So there's a little benefit there. Dom, yeah, I saw you make an announcement about the proof of workforce. Congratulations. Pretty cool. You want to tell us a little bit about it? Yeah, thanks, Sam. I got a little background noise because I'm on the big red. But yeah, really awesome to get that thing up and going. We put it, we tweeted out our board, which is, in my opinion, an unbelievable board of directors, including, I see in the audience, the one, the only Joe Carlasari. So I got mad BJ Dictor sound effects. I got my BJ Dictor sound effects loaded up right now. So, yeah, no, just doing great stuff, doing some great work, really excited for it and excited to talk more about it at Pacific and connect with anyone who's looking to bring Bitcoin to workers and unions and other membership based organizations. So really cool stuff. And yeah, man, super pumped. Yeah, I think it's a super cool nonprofit just working for, to educate people about Bitcoin, these unions, these pensions. Congrats on getting that off the ground. I think it's a really important effort for the next bull market to kind of start protecting workers and their future retirement. So with Bitcoin. Yeah, it's a tough group to crack sometimes. And it really helps, you know, was thinking about like, what's the best model and the nonprofit model being able to come in with no product? No, like, hey, sign up here. Like, hey, here's the cards on the table. We want to help you figure out how this works with your organization, whether that's just education, whether it's adding Bitcoin to the balance sheet, you know, enabling lightning payments for your members, you know, whatever that is, we just want to provide the tools and then let them kind of find their way on their own. Yeah, probably use the Nakamoto portfolio. That's a great tool right there. It's going to help a lot. Check it out. Nakamoto portfolio dot com. Play around with those tools. Extremely powerful. Yeah, that's a great tool for sure. Kind of pivoting a little bit, but like. Did you guys see that video of the guy getting his engagement ring back on like a reality TV show and then saying, you know, oh, that's a Bitcoin. That was hilarious. I could play it for you if you want. Yeah, why don't you play it? Vanderpump rules, right? You're still wearing your engagement ring, huh? Yeah. Yeah. I'm I'm going to give it back to him. Do you want to know? I mean. Don't give it back. No, I'm not going to keep it right here. Thank you. That's a Bitcoin. I love that so much. It's like every Bitcoiner thinks that you start like pricing in everything in Bitcoin. It really does become your unit of count in your head. Once you give the girl the ring, don't take it back. Yeah, you're going to want to make sure you're. You're positive on that one. Another reason not to put data on the base layer, right, like marriage certificates. I kind of think the days of expensive engagement rings and expensive weddings are going to end fairly soon with housing affordability at all time lows and so forth or in all time lows for at least for decades. You mean because diamonds are a shit coin and they dump them in the in the ocean off of the coast of South Africa? Yeah, basically, I think it's already the demand is already down, but it needs to kind of die a permanent death. I think the greatest marketing campaign ever. Yeah, diamonds are a rabbit hole. Like I'm going down that rabbit hole, the De Beers company and how they control a monopoly on the entire supply. And it was a huge marketing campaign. And there's no scarcity there. Girls aren't going to want to hear that, but only it's only for certain only for certain sizing and color. But yeah, then there's like these lab diamonds, right, that you can't even tell the difference now that are better. Yeah, I'm not going to get one of those, but they're shit coins. There's no scarcity to them. And they're wow. Really, Sam? It's progressed that far. You're already thinking about a ring. Congratulations. You heard it here first on Cafe People. I wouldn't go that far, Peter, right? But if I was, there's no way I'm going to get her a lab diamond. I saw this video of somebody like in the front row of an NBA game. And I guess there's like a gun that you could check rings to see if they're lab grown or they're regular. And they were going down looking at the big rocks of these celebrities. And this guy, his wife's ring, and then it shines red that it's a lab diamond. And she just gets so pissed off and throws it at him and runs out of the game. Whoops. Rug pull. Rug pull. Or that gun was inaccurate. Because again, you're like trusting the third party source. That's the whole point of bringing it back to Bitcoin. But that's the whole point of Bitcoin is you can self verify that you got real Bitcoin from whoever sent you Bitcoin because you're running your own node. Whereas with whether it's gold or diamond, like the Chinese got swindled for billions of dollars. I think of fake gold bars that were actually tung sun and just gold plated. I like how quickly you think on your feet, Terence, but I don't think she's going to buy it. Yeah. Terence is like, oh, did you think about the gun? It was the gun, bitch. It was the gun. Oh, my God. Hey, guys. So a friend of mine, actually, this is timely. A friend of mine just bought a lab grown diamond and he paid 1500 euros for it. It was 3 .07 carats. And a traditional diamond would have cost about 50 grand. So it's completely destroyed the price of diamonds, man. That's insane. Yeah. Over three carats. And it's chemically, he showed me the certificate is chemically identical. It's still got slight flaws in it, but they literally just they're basically just printing diamonds now. Right. So they've become dollars. I thought it was funny. That's hilarious. The stock to flow is going down for diamonds. Anyway, his wife, she's delighted. She's got a $50 ,000 diamond around her neck. Does she? Got to get one of those guns around here. So check out, check them all. Yeah, I'm intrigued about that gun because what he was saying to me was that he said chemically, they're identical. So I'm not sure what the gun's doing to identify it being a... They find the flaw, right? Because natural diamonds have flaws. So if it's natural, there's going to be a flaw. It's inevitable. You can't see it, but you can see it under like a magnifying glass or whatever. Well, I saw the certificate of this lab grown diamond and it had flaws in it as well. Oh, wow. Yeah, they artificially create the... Yeah, Chris, did you verify that there was a flaw? That's a valid point. I mean, I did trust. I didn't verify. So I stand called out. Yeah, a lot of Bitcoiners are pretty hesitant to separate with their sats. But I think a white is a good investment. That's when you know you got a keeper. Like I was going to buy you a diamond ring, babe, but instead I stacked into cold storage for us. For us. Sam, you might have something there. A ring that's a self -custody hard wallet. You might be something there, dude. I'm actually seeing... I remember in 2017, I saw rings and watches with like little tiny QR codes in them. I don't know if it's a good idea to have a lot of your Bitcoin on a ring or I saw another person with one in a necklace. So there are like things like that. It's not great security. It reminds me of how like in India and stuff, they wear their gold. You know, they keep it around their neck and wrists just because it's the safest place to be. I mean, I guess if it's just a receiving address, you know, I mean, somebody could hold me down and track it down and figure out and whatever. But I mean, you know, that could be your diamond ring. You know, instead of the diamond up there at the crown, throw a QR code up there. Just be like, babe, you're going to be stacking. We're going to stack for the rest of our lives together now. We're going on a stacking journey together. How do you carry across the border more than $10 ,000 in value without having to report it? You wear it. Or Bitcoin. I have friends who move tens of millions of dollars or millions of dollars of their net worth, like 90, I don't know, 98 % plus of their total net worth to leave China, leave South Africa, come to the U .S. and never go back. And at the time, at least, they were too dumb to stop them or even question them. We just left, one -way ticket. Yeah, the fact that Bitcoin is digital and that anybody can escape like an authoritarian regime or war with some of their wealth, you know, that's when you think about like the ESG narrative and even like KPMG report talked about the S and how that characteristic of Bitcoin really helped people in really tough situations and think about how else they would do that and kind of realize that like Bitcoin is a solution there to a problem. And BlackRock and State Street are closing up ESG funds as we speak, which is, I think, a positive development. Yeah, I kind of reject that entire framing. I think it's led to a lot of misallocation of capital and kind of influencing boardrooms about how they invest their capital kind of impeding free markets. Yeah, ESG is a control scheme. I mean, we've seen that, but what are you talking about about BlackRock shutting down ESG funds? I don't know about that. Yeah, BlackRock and State Street have just been closing ESG funds in 2023, kind of shutting them up. And that's a reversal of the trend over the last couple of years. And BlackRock, Larry Fink, I mean, in the early 2010s kind of spearheaded a lot of these efforts, really gung ho about ESG. The last couple of years, they've seen a ton of pushback. And now we're kind of seeing them close up ESG funds. And I feel like we're seeing a shift in sentiment around the entire movement because I think people are realizing that like, A, some of these goals are completely untenable. And then secondly, you're hurting the poorest countries amongst us, like the developing nations, by preventing them from accessing cheap energy sources. And you're really making us weaker and less resilient by shutting down oil, gas, and fossil fuels. And so you're seeing a ton of pushback on it. And so BlackRock and State Street are starting to shut down ESG funds. It's just kind of like a flag post in my mind of this ESG narrative that was so, so strong the last decade. I don't know if anyone else has opinions there, but... Yeah, the only thing I have to say is I feel like Larry Fink kind of jumped on the bandwagon somewhat later after the ESG narrative got a lot of traction. Then he kind of added fuel to the fire, which is a huge name and was very outspoken. My point is he's added fuel to the fire. He didn't start the fire, but he kind of... So he's a politician ultimately, right? Like he's very political, even though he knows finance. To a manage massive fund that manages, I don't know, $9 .6 trillion or whatever, you have to be political and you have to read the tea leaf, so to speak. And yeah, react to the times. I think the exception would be somebody like Vanguard that might do a lot less in terms of ESG or jumping on the latest trendy whatever, because they're so focused on index funds and they're member -owned. This was not an ad for Vanguard, but... I just remember Larry Fink writing... And I just remember it made a lot of waves and kind of definitely added fuel to the fire, like I said, Terrence. So they shut down two dozen ESG funds this year, just to give some stats there. Yeah, I wish I could say like, you know, oh, maybe they really are being orange -filled and whatever, whatever. But it's probably like you said before, I mean, like ESG stuff, it's untenable over time and you get to a point, it probably just isn't profitable. I don't know than any of this, any of what I'm talking about, but just I'm just going off a gut, like the ESG stuff is unprofitable because the economics don't work. We've talked about that. You can look at the windmills and the solar panels as perfect examples of that. But I mean, just the overall thing, there's a good book, I've talked about it before, called The Prize. And it talks about the control of energy on the planet and how there are groups that seek to control other groups through the narrative of controlling what type of energy you're using, what is acceptable energy use, all of this stuff. But in the end, if you're going to try to make like, you know, bets and gambles off of this stuff, like you're going to have to pull your rug early because it's not, at some point, the economics don't work. Well, not to mention too, you know, it's the trend of like having an ESG report for a company. I want to see some of these companies that are like, you know, Nike's ESG report, which I don't know the details, you know, but you know, there's some low wage labor being done. And then, you know, you got this shiny ESG report that's like, you know, sustainability, we've done this and ethically, we've done this. And also, you know, behind the curtain, we've got this going on too. Yeah, I mean, it trickles all the way down, even now, like in web design, web development, like if you want your website to rank well on Google and whatever, then, you know, you have to build your site, you have to have that in your mind while you're building your site. You have to make sure that it's going to be well received by Googlebot and, you know, all these other stuff. And one of the things that they've been pushing is how ESG friendly is your website? Like your, the processes that it runs and, you know, are you doing it correctly and coding it correct? There's more than one way to code. And, you know, it's like, man, okay, I understand the idea, like, make your website work more efficiently. Like, of course, duh, like, that's what we're doing. But Google of all people to tell me about energy use of a web platform? Come on. Yeah, Chrome is pretty bad. Yeah, go ahead. I was orange peeling and no, I was I was just like at insurance, kind of talking to them about Bitcoin. And it was a bunch of claims professionals and lawyers. They were very like, you know, obviously, these are like super risk adverse cohort of investors. And so we were there just like talking Bitcoin as like the weird Bitcoiners at this conference. But I found out that 90 % of them take into account ESG when they're thinking about investments today. And that's in the most recent Goldman survey. So 90 % of insurers consider ESG when making capital allocations today. And at the same time, their number one worry in that survey was inflation. And so it's one of those things where I don't want to give credence to the framework. But it's so ingrained in some of these like traditional capital allocators minds that maybe just by playing into it and saying like, well, here's how Bitcoin is actually, you know, quote unquote, ESG and just kind of like Trojan horse in it through their their silly framework is the strategy that I took. And it kind of kind of went well. I kind of like said, like, although I reject this entire framing, here's why Bitcoin actually kind of achieves your goals. That's kind of the tactic that I took.

"I know. I can't believe that was over seven years ago now. But anyway, so part of the reason that I brought you two here was to discuss some recent issues. You could call them in the Bitcoin ordinals world, and it affects you as creators. But first, why don't we give everybody the backdrop of what you've been doing? And we'll start with your backgrounds pre-MediGood. So, Danny, would you like to start? Yeah, so I'm Danny Yang. Pre-MediGood. I started at Stanford Bitcoin back in 2013. That's when I met Bill, actually. So that's how he connected. True OG. Yeah, yeah. Early days of Bitcoin when we were all very, I guess, excited by what we could do, and the sky's the limit. And Bitcoin was kind of the center of attention for everything. It was really the only thing. And I started a cryptocurrency exchange in Taiwan called MyCoin that's doing well today, too. And then a couple of years later, I started a blockchain analytics company called BlockSphere that was then sold a few years after that. And Bill also was the first investor in both of my, those two Bitcoin and crypto companies. So I've been busy in this space and just excited to see what's happening today, too, what we're going to talk about because of the new happenings for Bitcoin in particular. And Bill? Yeah, Laura, I think obviously you've known me for quite a while, but I somehow was able to see some kind of interesting future for Bitcoin back in 2010. That led me to doing some work on a bunch of different things. Some of the more notable companies that came out of the industry at that time were Bittheory, of course, where I put together the funding for their first major ASIC chip. I'm still chairman of the board of Hut 8 Mining, which we spun out of Bittheory. It used to be our Canadian operation and had funded a bunch of interesting projects like AirSwap with Joe Lubin and Mike Novogratz and Power Ledger and some other things. But Danny, having been the founder of the Stanford Bitcoin Meetup Group, and Laura, you will remember, even back on Necker Island, what I wanted to do was create something like the Homebrew Computer Club for this segment. And Danny had already done that. So, as I was attending the Stanford Bitcoin Meetup Groups, young startups like Zappo or BitGo or Coinbase or whoever would come and present at his meetup. And I just identified Danny as a node with a lot of talent, given his PhD in computer science at Stanford. And every question that I had that was technical, he could answer. And so, one day I walked up to him and I said, hey, if you ever start a company, I'm writing a check. And that became the first company he mentioned. And I funded it along with some real OGs like Charlie Lee, Bobby Lee, Jed McCaleb, people like that. And then that turned into another funding for Blockseer. Both of those companies have been successful. And third time around, I was like, Danny, let's do this one together. So, I wrote a check and we put together Medigood.

Good morning to all of you Cafe Bitcoiners. Good morning, Peter. Good morning, Ant, Dombey, Jacob, Wade, everybody else in the audience, all the loyal listeners. If you're new, we play that song at the beginning of every show. I highly encourage you to go look up the words and read the words to that song. It's mind blowing. Welcome back, Ant. Thank you. Thank you. I see you guys held it down. Yeah, we were all sad. We missed you. Oh, I'm really sure. I had to explain you to my sisters yesterday, Ant. Oh, I'm sure that went well. You were the technical guy, that's the other technical guy who does other technical things and has other technical knowledge. All the technicals. We did have like the Wicked show yesterday, was it yesterday? I don't know. We had a moment where the scale was up, came up and she was like, I have a wicked question. And then that was KSD. It great. was All right. You're listening to Cafe Bitcoin. This is episode four hundred and thirty eight. Shout outs to our sponsors on Fountain Nosterness. Our mission for this show is to provide the signal in a sea of noise, teach the other seven billion people on this planet why there is hope because of this bright orange future that we call Bitcoin. Today, again, we're going to try and discuss near perfect energy arbitrage. I've been meaning to do that for three different episodes now. We never actually get to it because the content is so dang good. The questions are good. The discussions are good. Hopefully we get that today. There's also a bunch of nonsense that the lizards are up to that I think needs to be highlighted. We shine lights on lizards and lizards doing lizard things. And it's I hope it helps you guys. Peter. Speaking of lizards, my banking saga continued. So, you know, yesterday I was talking about having trouble transferring money in my account being frozen, et cetera, et cetera. I thought, well, I'll just go into the bank, get out cash, and then I'll go make the deposit into my friend's account. Right. So I put my tweet up in the nest. I'm just going to it's real quick. I'm just going to read it. I said friend needed financial support, went to their bank with cash to deposit. Teller, we don't take cash. Me, what? Teller, sorry. Me, manager? Manager, we don't take cash. Random patron looks at me and mouths, what the fuck? Me, thank God. I literally said this. I said, thank God for Bitcoin. I walked out of the place. My friend, thanks for the BTC. You said that in a bank, Peter. What? You said that in a bank, Peter? Yeah. You're on the list. Hell yeah. You're on the list. That's like saying bomb on a plane. I looked at this lady, this manager, I looked at her. I was like, what the fuck is cash for? She goes, well, you can go buy stuff. I said, you're a bank. You don't take cash? No, thank God for Bitcoin. I fucking walked out. I couldn't believe it. You're all on a list. Every single one of you. It's OK, Peter. I got on the list a long time ago. I was on a phone call with my bank a long time ago and it was just like a lowly customer support person. And I was like new in Bitcoin, like brand new and like, you know, feeling it. And I was like, this is why y 'all are going down. You see, this is why Bitcoin is going to take you all out. So I'm sure I'm on the list as well. OK, later today, second half of the show, we've got Eric Kaysen joining us. Looking forward to that. That dude, he's one of my favorites. He's an extremely passionate Bitcoiner and deep thinker, in my opinion. He says some stuff that is I mean, there's a lot of edgy people in Bitcoin that are willing to say and call out lizard nonsense. Eric pulls no punches, man. This dude, when he's laying it down, I'm like looking around the room thinking, are any of these guys that are in here fed? Because he's definitely on the list. And so is everybody in this room. Oh, I'm sure we've had feds in this room for a long time now. Yeah, probably. I mean, these are all recorded, right? So, yeah, I guess they let it back. Yep, yep, pretty much. Good morning. They won't get the emojis, though. Yeah, screw them. I wish these guys would do something illegal. Mike Hobart, good morning. Mickey Koss, good morning. Terrence Yang, good morning. Oh, by the way, congratulations, Terrence. Terrence was on Bloomberg again. Dang. Thank you. Thank you. He's a regular now. Whenever they want to know something about Bitcoin, they call Terrence Yang. Your star's rising, Terrence. And Terrence is like, oh my God. And Terrence is like, hang on one second. I got to hang on one second. I got to park this dim sum cart so I can go get into a nice background place and do my interview with you guys. Exactly. Exactly, due to my crappy or just something's not great with faces for my audio, so it doesn't do noise suppression. So but it's motivating me to take a walk. So instead of you guys listening to the piano music from the hotel again. As long as you don't walk into that ballet center again, Terrence. I think that was Beetlejuice. I did not record. Terrence, if you don't mind me asking, since I didn't see the Bloomberg appearance, what did they ask you about? Did they ask you about any of your opinions on the Binance situation or is it just strictly Bitcoin and price? A little bit Binance. It was price, not as much price this time. I think I'm not sure why, but it was more about ETF kind of timing. And we got into spot versus futures of the SEC loss badly against Grayscale. So actual signal then, that's good. Allegedly, yeah. No, they ask good questions. That's good questions. And then talked about some tax stuff, stuff like that. Terrence, you were telling them how it's going to go down this year. That's interesting. How did they react to that? I did point out that 75 % of quote unquote experts surveyed said that Bitcoin ETF will be approved by year end, which I don't agree with. Yeah. Who are these experts? Are they the writers that coined it? These crypto people, right, because sometimes our stars do align a little bit with the crypto people short term. So their PR machine is formidable. So I think they just go around and random crypto experts opine on Bitcoin ETF timing based on their chat TBT law degrees or whatever. Here's a big wrench, Terrence, and you have a law degree, so you can tell me if this is possible. This may throw a wrench into the some of the bets on the side chains. What is it possible for the SEC to approve Grayscale, but with a go live date that's next year or far out or some kind of ambiguous, like, yeah, it's approved conditionally with this. And then people, well, it wasn't approved. It was approved. That I don't know, but typically they just kind of approve, delay or deny. And then when they approve, you just have to do all the paperwork. It's like they're always approved with conditions. Everything the government does or lawyers do. And now you're talking about government lawyers. So every approval is like if you meet the, you know, registration requirements, blah, blah, blah, you can do it. Go ahead and file the paperwork and, you know, give us comfort that you're compliant. Yeah, but they can attach conditions like, OK, so you're saying you're doing the surveillance sharing agreement. We are only doing this if that actually gets signed is, you know, not clear that that signed it, blah, blah, blah. They might add some details. I think that's possible. I don't actually know that much about ETF approvals, but that should be how it goes. It's kind of based on all the other stuff that government regulators tend to do. Yeah, because that's that's my new thing is, is this is backed by no for the listeners, no legal knowledge whatsoever, zero. But if they can find a way to approve Grayskills, put a timing on it that somehow screws them and lets BlackRock, whoever's first in line for the ETF, go live first. That's what I see them do. Yeah, that's possible. I feel like they're not that explicit. Like, OK, so a couple of things. One, if you're a Gensler, political animal, Bitcoiner, allegedly, you would probably want to do what? Delay approval just because, you know, hurts to lose three to zero in the D .C. In or batches dispersed would be one of the big four. It doesn't have to be BlackRock, right? Because the public perception, at least in some corners of the universe, they tend to think that BlackRock is super evil because they're so big, totally misunderstanding how asset managers work. But anyway, you might pick one of the big four, the new one being Franklin Templeton, 1 trillion .4 AUM, I think Invesco is like 1 .6, Fidelity and BlackRock are orders of magnitude. So one of those big four. Maybe do it in batches, politically you might do, I hate to say it, Cassie Wedge from ARK because she's a woman and she's very vocal.

I'm going to say luxurious experience, even though I was having problems, the look and feel of the UI, it's an Apple versus Android kind of thing as far as I'm concerned. It's just it's a very nice experience. And the best part about it is the access to the Telegram group and the help that you get when you do run into problems. They have really the end user in mind when it comes to getting this thing set up and running. And then, as Tomer said, once you get it set up and running, there's these apps that you can download and they need some configuration sometimes, but they also run, according to Portland Hoddle, who obviously knows a lot more than I do about this space and about these tools. He was really impressed with how quickly you can get things onboarded and how they effectively come pretty much pre -configured for somebody who's not going to utilize these tools to their utmost, you know, to the utmost. So that's my experience with it. I think it's kind of like an Apple experience as far as servers and nodes go. All right, good stuff. Do you guys want to dive into some discussion of this new FASB ruling? I see Foss out in the audience. Terrence Yang's up here. Good morning. Welcome. Greg, if you want to come up here and share your thoughts or insights on this, anybody else who has an accounting background understands the significance of the ramifications of what the FASB ruling is going to have, the new rules regarding GAAP accounting and large corporations. Terrence, if you're there, do you want to dive in? Sure. So bottom line, this is great for all U .S. public companies who do GAAP accounting. This is the accounting rule change that was affected for people who report GAAP or generally accepted accounting principles. So number one, this affects all U .S. public companies and any private company that aspires to go public and is planning ahead. So this will make their transition much easier. They're already doing GAAP accounting, even though they don't have to. And GAAP accounting does what? It classifies Bitcoin as an intangible asset. And what is that? That means it's going to be classified, it's currently classified as similar to goodwill. So, you know, that saying that it takes a lifetime or generations to build a reputation and you can lose that reputation in a day. So if you think about how goodwill is calculated, once you damage your goodwill, whether you're Enron or FTX would be a good example, right? Because they're continuing to operate under the FTX name. The brand is atrocious.

Last week locally a Montgomery County school principal sent a note home describing students performing an apparent anti -Semitic salute and making a video of themselves doing it actually. And that's prompted a call then for direct more action to deal with a rise in hate and bias incidents locally. Alan Ronkin, the regional director for the American Jewish committee noted that the incident at Montgomery County's Blair High School in which students reportedly filmed themselves doing an anti -Semitic salute happened just before Yom Kippur, one of the holiest days on the Jewish calendar. Ronkin also cited a yet to be released Maryland State Police report on hate and bias incidents showing a jump in those targeting the Jewish community. He called for direct more action including education. AJC issued a report that said 41 % of American Jews feel less secure than they did a year ago. Montgomery County Police and the county school system are investigating the incident at Blair. Kate

Good morning, everybody. Welcome to Cafe Bitcoin. How are you doing, Dom? What's going on, man? Not much. How are you all doing? Happy Friday. You getting some surfing today or what? No, today I'm working. I'm surfed out. This hurricane is supposed to hit on the West Coast, but, you know, we'll see, man. I might have to recreate the 50 year storm scene. From point break, but I think I think it'll be nothing too crazy. OK, OK, Mickey, what's going on, man? How are you doing? Hey, good. Just finished the workout. I like to pop in here towards the end. It kind of aligns nicely with the end of our morning workout. Good stuff, man. Good way to start a Friday workout in Cafe Bitcoin. Dom, Mickey, you guys got any hot takes on the price action that we've seen in the last 18 hours? You know, it's payday Friday, so, you know, just look at the opportunity. Not the most severe we've seen, but obviously significant little drop. And yeah, it's payday Friday, right? Good opportunity to convert some fiat into some Bitcoin. For sure, for sure. And I'll just say this, this makes me think, you know, I have a conversation, a recurring conversation with clients who want to talk about market entry strategy. And the way I usually handle that is by saying, first off, if you got the crystal ball, go with that. If you don't have the crystal ball, then it's usually a mix of a lump sum purchase and a recurring purchase plan. And I think the recurring purchase plan is kind of the acknowledgment that you really, unless you're following the markets deeply and even if you are, you're not going to be able to predict when large price declines are going to happen quickly. Even if you do it right a couple of times, you're not going to do it right all the time. So I think it's it really is a mix of those two things because, you know, the lump sum at the beginning gets part of your purchase on and then the recurring buy plan after that just allows you to get exposure to these drops. Again, absent having the crystal ball and massive conviction on getting in at one moment, I really think that's the best way to do it because it's just too hard to predict when I think I saw Bitcoin dropped like 7 % in in like 30 minutes or something like that. You know, I don't know who has the capability to predict a move like that. Yeah, this, you know, any time we get the big swings for entertainment value, I love the spaces that fire up. I learn a lot. There's been some marathon spaces on recently, you know, heavy macro discussion, price action on Bitcoin, potential causes, where it's going. No one knows. It's entertaining. And obviously, there's some people that can be close to statistically correct on a guess. But that's a that's a gambler's game. You know, still remains. Close your eyes. And in 10 to 20 years, do you picture Bitcoin being around? The answer is yes. It's an opportunity and a story. I did see an article this morning that about half a billion dollars worth of longs got liquidated. So that's that's probably positive and sets us up for like another leg higher. But at the same time, I remember probably two years ago just watching Bitcoin go up almost 20 percent, you know, in like in like 90 minutes as I was working out in the morning. And so this like 10 percent crash is kind of largely uninteresting, I Yeah, think. agreed. I think in the long term, it's for people who have a long term time horizon, it's really not something that we'll even be thinking about, you know, a few weeks from now would be my guess. But, yeah, it's always worth talking about when there's a significant price move in such a short period of time. Terrence, I see you just hopped in. Good morning. How are you doing today? Good. How are you guys? Good. We're just chatting about the recent price move. You got any hot takes there? It should have been priced in when it was publicly revealed that Tesla, Elon's sister company, the SpaceX, sold almost all their Bitcoin.

I'm actually titling this episode, Where is the Melt Up and Deflationary Bust? And I know you have a lot of takes on that. So David, thank you so much for coming back. Sure, Natalie. Thanks for having me back. All right, so first, let's just zoom out. What is your take on everything that's happened with the markets? Because one thing I know we have talked about in the past is how good we are here in the United States and the economy with kicking the can down the road and being able to, let's say, avoid a hard landing or a recession. But there are a lot of indicators that say that a hard landing might be coming. And I know you have a lot of takes on this. So what's the big picture? Yeah, I'm still looking for a hard landing, what I call a global bust. And I'm still saying it's going to be the biggest downturn in financial crisis, certainly in the post -World War II era, so bigger than 2008, 2009. And I know that's hard right now because everybody's moving the other direction towards soft landing. But there's a lot of stuff in the, you know, the leading indicators and looking at credit, etc. There are a lot of signs there that things aren't as good as everybody thinks. And as you know, not many months ago, people were glad to buy into the global bust scenario. And now they're moving away from it. And that's just kind of the ebb and flow of the economy. I've been surprised by the ability for the economy to stay resilient and for the consumer to continue going. But a lot of that, I think, has to do with the pandemic. We just had so much fiscal and monetary stimulus pumped in during 2020, 2021. And it just doesn't go away that fast. It's still in the pipeline. So it's allowed consumers to continue to spend. One thing that surprised me, and nobody talks about it, but, you know, we really had people using for many, many years using the refinancing vehicle of their home equity to take money out of their home and keep spending above their means. And with rates moving up 500 basis points, that took that away. So we really see very little of that anymore. And yet the consumer has remained resilient. What they have done a little bit is they can't do it all at once. So for the period during the pandemic, they spent on goods and, you know, things on their homes, et cetera. Now that the pandemic's passed us and everybody feels comfortable traveling, they're putting aside some of their spending on material things and they're traveling. So they're not doing both at once, but they're, you know, it's still the U .S., it's still shop till you drop. And they just aren't, you know, they aren't giving that up yet, even though they're they're using credit cards for everything. I mean, credit credit card credit on credit cards is the highest it's ever been. And it's moving up rapidly and you're seeing it in, you know, they're using it for groceries even. So that's a bad sign. I think there are lots of signs that we're moving towards a tough economy and because of leverage, I think it will be a bust. But, you know, it just takes time to work through the pipeline. Yeah, I know I saw that there are a lot of credit card delinquencies. The government is still spending a lot of money. And I wanted to ask you a little bit more about the mechanics, because it seems like the reason that we're able to keep going and that the government officials are saying that the economy is so resilient is we really did blow up the bubble so much and all governments around the world did it in response to the pandemic, that it seems like there's still a lot of liquidity that is sloshing around and needs to work its way out of the system. But now we are seeing some of those indicators. There have been insolvency issues with regional banks, that commercial real estate looks really weak as that debt rolls over. So can you talk a little bit more about sort of like how big we blew up this bubble and why that's the reason maybe we're seeing this drag out and we haven't hit an official recession? Sure, yeah, it is. I mean, I think we throw around these numbers, you know, trillions of dollars, but I don't think anybody really stops and realizes, you know, in in 2008, going into the Lehman event, the Fed's balance sheet was $875 billion. It blew up to two and a half, two and a half trillion, I guess, by the end of the 2008 -9 crisis. We're now just below $9 trillion, we went up over $9 trillion and we pulled back a little bit. But we put $5 trillion into the system where the Fed expanded their balance sheet by $5 trillion during the pandemic. I mean, so you go from $875 being the entire balance sheet going back to 2013 when the Fed started and in just a short decade plus, we've gone to $9 trillion. I mean, trillions matter, that's big money. And equally, I mean, we've gone on the government side to, you know, $30 trillion plus in debt, just on US government debt and $300 trillion in global debt. So we're talking about numbers that are way off the charts. And I think we just kind of hear them, see them and move on, but they matter. And so when you put that much stimulus into the system, it doesn't all get spent in a year or two, it kind of works through the system. And then, of course, you've got home prices moving up, you've got borrowing on the private side at levels we've never seen. So it's across the board, just massive leverage. And it will matter at some point. Obviously, the big question is when? Have you been surprised at their ability to raise interest rates as fast and as aggressively as they've been able to without sort of breaking something in the system? I mean, there have been definite cracks, but they've rushed in to sort of save it, right? Yep. I mean, we saw it in the spring, obviously, the regional banking issue. So we did get a crack and now we've settled down. The Fed kind of pumped some money and took care of the few banks that were in trouble. You know, we just had yellow freight go under because of debt. There are plenty of cracks under the surface. It's just the nature of the economy that it takes time and forecasting, you know, you can expect things to happen faster and they take longer. It doesn't mean they're not going to happen. It just means we're not there. Yeah. But the thing I've learned through all my years of doing it and through several cycles is it can look like it's a ways off and come very fast. And I use 2008 as an example. In September of 2008, I was calling hard land and calling for a hard landing. Every recession, every economist on Wall Street was saying soft landing, no recession in sight. We were literally three weeks away from the biggest financial crisis in the post World War Two era and people didn't see it. I mean, people trained to see it, didn't see it. So I'd say the same thing here is it can happen at any time. My guess is it will be in recession before the end of the year. Some people would tell you we're in a recession now if you look at certain things. But ultimately, I think recession by the end of the year and bust next year is still my call. Let's talk a little bit more about your forecast, starting with equities. There have been only a few companies within the S &P that have outperformed all the rest. And we have seen a rally on that side. It seems like people are really confident. If you look at just the stock market, can you talk maybe a little bit about some of the nuances and where is the melt up that you were calling for? Yeah, some people think we're in the melt up. I keep saying no, the melt up hasn't hit yet, but we've had a big rally from last October from $3 ,500 up to $4 ,600 and obviously pulling back a little bit here. So I mean, in almost any other period of time would be considered a big bull market. However, because sentiment was so negative and people were so worried about what the Fed is doing and overkill, etc., they fought that rally the whole way up and said, no, it's a bear market rally, it's a bear market rally, we don't believe it, we think it's going to end up going to new lows. And only I think probably once we got above $4 ,300 did some of those bears begin to move the other way and say, oh, I can't fight this any longer. But the thing is, there's still, I call it bullishness with no conviction. The minute you get something like you're getting the last couple of days, people start pulling out the bearish narrative again. So there's really a lot of skepticism about this rally and rightfully so, the valuations are high historically. But I would say we're in the process of moving towards a melt up. The melt up is what I call the final stage, the parabolic stage. And we are still climbing wall worry. We're still, we're in a nice bull market, it's a new bull leg. But I believe once we get to new highs above $4 ,800 is probably where you're going to see the slope steepen even further. And you're going to have pullbacks are going to be very short and very quick. So you'll be up, up, up, up with and people have to chase and people look at the $7 and ,000 people are going how in the world are you going to get there given that we're already at historic valuations. But it's because people will believe we're entering a new cycle with the Fed tightening cycle is over. They can look over the trough and begin raising earnings estimates for next year. And in doing that, you know, valuations come down. So I think that's still ahead of us. I think it's directly ahead of us. This pullback we're having now, I think probably doesn't last very long. We could get three, four, maybe five percent pullback. It's always possible it's bigger. But I think given how many people fought this thing, I think you get down three, four or five percent and people are going to be coming in and trying to catch up again. Well, the Fed recently raised rates yet again, 25 basis points because inflation is still too high. And I think there's almost a tug of war, especially when you look at the analysts out there between an inflation narrative and a deflation or disinflation narrative. There are so many factors that indicate we have a decelerating economy. But at the same time, you know, if oil ticks up, some people are predicting that maybe it could go to 100 a barrel. That's the that's the number one input for prices. So things could go up again. Some people are predicting even a double digit CPI next year. So I wanted to get your take a little bit, because how do you see this all all playing out? Because if oil were to go to 100, I mean, that would cause potentially a crisis in the bond market, wouldn't it? I don't know about the crisis, but it certainly would would push inflation fears higher and inflation expectations higher. But at the same time, assuming gasoline follows along with that, it's going to push tighten the consumer pocketbook even further and leave them with less discretionary income. So, you know, it's kind of yin and yang, which one do you pay attention to the impact on the economy coming, you know, going forward or the inflation that's hitting right now? So I don't happen to believe we're going to 100, as you know, probably I've been the bear on oil all the way down. And I think we're probably we've been in a trading range between the mid 60s and mid 80s for most of last year. And I think it's going to remain in that trading range and probably roll over and head back down towards the lower end of that. And because I think the bust is not that far off, I think ultimately oil goes to 30. So next year or so, you know, there's always and people stay pretty they fought the downturn in oil for a long time until it kind of broke. Seventy five, I think, then they started getting getting on board and saying it's going lower. But but I think people still look and say, well, it has to go higher. And I don't think so. Yeah, I think, again, we talk so much about the US and my focus is the US, but globally the economy is weak and I don't see that changing. So I still think oil is probably going to stay in that trading range for a while longer. It's time for a quick break to hear these messages from my partners.

Why has gold underperformed? Well, if if if I you probably think it's because of Bitcoin.

Bankless
A highlight from Will DeFi Survive This?
"Bankless Nation, we have a bonus episode for you today because I think this requires almost a midweek look at what is going on in crypto. Specifically, what is going on with DeFi, David? So much going on with the curve protocol. I know you are fresh back from climbing mountains, but I need your help. Duty calls. Yes. I need your help to understand what happened. Can you give us the TLDR of what we're going to cover in today's episode? Yeah. So there has been a series of events, which of all one has led to another. There's a coding language called Viper, which is an alternative to Solidity. So it is an Ethereum coding language that had an exploit in the actual coding language that affected a certain number of DeFi protocols across Ethereum, especially in most importantly, Curve. Curve, which I would call a systemically important DeFi protocol, has had some very important curve pools drained. And that has led and put pressure on the CRV token specifically because the founder of Curve, Michael, has put up a bunch of CRV tokens as collateral across DeFi. So just to recap, the coding language had an exploit in it, which led to Curve liquidations. And because the founder of Curve had so much CRV tokens as collateral across lending protocols, we are potentially on the cusp of cascading liquidations of the CRV token across DeFi, which might put holes into the balance sheets of many of these DeFi lending protocols. Did you catch that? I did. And I'm so glad. We called David down from the mountains in order to help us with this episode, David. I'm so glad you're back. I think what we're trying to do in today's episode is just unpack this story and let folks know as well that it's still developing. So we'll have more things to talk about. But really, in bankless fashion, we want to talk about what just happened in the events in order to learn from this, in order to level up on crypto. So we're going to discuss what happened, what's currently at risk right now. You might be wondering, are my assets safe? Is this a systemic issue for all of DeFi? How scared should I be? And then finally, what we can learn. I think that's the flow of this episode. David, you want to say anything else before we get ready to get in here? Yeah, just a few more bits about Curve and why it's so important. I would say Curve is kind of a yin to a yang of Uniswap perhaps, but it's specifically meant for trading like kind assets. So stablecoins trade with stablecoins. Ether trades with other versions of synthetic Ether. And so like staked Ether trades with rocket pool Ether or alchemix Ether, which is one of the pools drains is traded with Ether. So like kind assets is what Curve is really meant for. And it's just a huge, huge amount of DeFi built on top of it. TVL in Curve, total value locked in Curve, was 3 .2 trillion up to the point of - Wait, billion, billion. Billion, excuse me. Billion, trillion is a different number.

A highlight from Richard Heart Could Face LIFE IN PRISON (The End Of HEX?)
"Any of you guys from the SEC are listening I hope you are I want you to know in the deepest Deepest parts of your heart that I've saved a lot more people from being wrecked than you have Because I did everything I could to prevent people from putting their money into BlockFi Did you I did everything I could to prevent people from putting their money into Celsius? Did you I did everything I could to put people in charge of their own keys and get them to? Have self custody. Did you do that? I called the top on the day. Did you? What have you done? So I break my balls to save people. I'm warning people about bad daps fake airdrops Showing people constantly every single hack that happens right I hand out free coins out the ying yang I created free coins give them to Bitcoin quarters now creating free coins giving them to aetherium and every single er c20 holder I'm the giving tree of crypto. I raised 27 million for charity You know what the SEC did the SEC? 50 Got paid million dollars. All right, so that is Richard heart and whatever he says there I'm not sure if it's gonna help him when it comes to this big case against the SEC and we're gonna talk about the SEC case and Richard heart and what it means we also going to Talk about Bitcoin and where we're at with Bitcoin. So yesterday when we were on the show we said that It was decision time and Bitcoin needed to either break up or break down It looks like we got our break down and we are at the same level exactly the level which Annie said when she was in The show yesterday. She said it's gonna be twenty eight thousand eight hundred a presto about I said Is it gonna go up or down from here? She said it's gonna go down and she's looking for the twenty eight thousand eight hundred But look not all is lost We have dropped one level which is the 50 the 50 ma the 50 the 50 day moving average We've dropped that level but we are here at Another critical level. So I want to show you this this level here if you take Let me make sure you zoom out first. Let me go on today on to the daily and if you take this trend over here And okay, let me just get off the screen So if you take this trend line over here, it is exactly what Garrett said in terms of the trend So we are let me just get that a bit more a bit neater my charts are my charting skills on the screen I'm not great but you can see that Bitcoin is now moving back towards this trend line over here and probably if you look at that the Next critical level is about the twenty eight thousand. So we are going to talk about that We're also going to talk about this Bitcoin dominance spikes It's not a big spike but Bitcoin dominance actually did start going up and the reason why Bitcoin dominance started going up is because If you look at the bubbles you can see that there are two things that are really weighing down crypto So the first thing is the hex and pulse story. You've got hex down 26 % you got pulse down 45 % But I'll show you something very cool here when you look at hex and pulse Is that if you go to the hourly you can see that they're starting to recover on the hourly So yes, it's been a bad day for hex and pulse but if you go down to a shorter time frame What you can see is that these tokens are actually starting to turn and this may be your indicator that it might actually be buy Time so one of the things we are we should talk about today is we should talk about whether this is the end For hex and pulse or whether we're gonna get some kind of recovery now Magat says that Maybe it's not the end and maybe there's gonna be some kind of recovery the other big sector that you can see is Benicha Ave compound synthetics all the The DeFi token specifically the big DeFi 1 .0 tokens that have a lot of traction They got hit and we're gonna talk about why they got hit Because it's all got to do with curve and the hack that happened on curve But ironically it's actually not the hacker that's pushing down the price The big issue is that what's going on here could be a huge a huge hit to crypto This could be something that takes the market down by 10 or 20 percent overnight if it happens So we got to talk about all of that then I've got to Admit that I was half right and half wrong. So I said that FTX 2 .0 would never ever start I said that never ever start the exchange again And I was half right when I said it because I said it in context of the fact that the exchange token is going to be worth nothing and it is gonna be worth nothing but I was wrong because it seems like the FTX exchange is gonna restart. It's gonna restart pretty soon and We're gonna talk about that today. So there's a lot to talk about today. It's a massive massive show We haven't had a big news show like this for a long long long time Let's go. Let's get this on the road I Mean it's been a rough 24 hours for old coins If you look at that the old coin market hasn't been great and you can see it in the dominance Going back up towards that 50 % remember we were on forty nine and a half and you can see it in the banter bubbles Where you can see that the the the old coins have been really really really hard hit We're gonna talk about each one of them and why they've been hard hit And whether or not this is the end or whether we can expect another leg down Let me tell you that there is a real risk of another big leg down in crypto If if this curve situation doesn't resolve itself, then we've got a very very very big problem We're gonna get the defy the defy protocols the big defy protocols with all the traction They are going to get destroyed. They are going to get crippled if this curve thing pans out So it's a pretty serious thing We did start covering it yesterday, but I think we're gonna speak about it today because it could actually affect your portfolio It's also an amazing amazing amazing opportunity and I'll show you what the opportunity is regarding the curve token So I do have a long positioning curve I was stopped out a little bit of my curve position overnight because the price dipped and I'll show you whether or not it's worth actually getting into a similar trade on curve and where you should get into into Similar trade on curve because there's a lot of money to be made here There is a fort if you know what you're doing. There's a fortune of money to be made here I Think that's what we're gonna be covering today. If you are new to channel subscribe to channel Give us some love help us get on shadow band.

We haven't had news like this for a long time It's actually one of those days where I actually really want to do a show because there's so much to talk about So I think we should probably skip the formalities and just get straight into the hex story because it is a big big big story and I think the big question is what is Richard Hart gonna do is Richard Hart actually going to fight the SEC? or is he just going to be do what everybody else did and Actually settle and I think that I have some insight today. I'm gonna build a story today I'm gonna show you why I think that Richard Hart may actually fight this till the very end I don't think he's gonna just take the the settlement I'm gonna show you why in a few seconds, but for those of you don't know what is going on I think you obviously know who Richard Hart is we showed him in the beginning in the beginning of the show. We also We also on the eve of the launch of the Richard Hart Okay, we are set for you Richard What do you want people to know about you I got a big dick this here is three point one million dollars watches I don't know as big as diamonds you don't I do is Richard Genius legendary arrogant bit of a narcissist the benevolent king quarter -million hate me hate me I'm farther than you'll ever be in your whole life. Who does this guy think he is? Whatever the governments have been doing it's not worked out You've never had worse interest rates. Your money has never been worth less. Everything is getting worse Only thing that's making it better is crypto currency. It's better than the dollar. It's better than gold. It's better money Crypto is money without governments and it is money without banks You're not gonna meet another product like this as long as you live. Yes, every scammer in the world is gonna say this is the trailer for the Richard Hart movie and I think on the eve of the The Richard Hart story the SEC comes out and they make an announcement that they are suing Richard Hart aka Richard Schuler His real name is Richard Schuler and three unincorporated entities that he controls hex pulse chain and pulse X with conducted Conducting unregistered offerings of crypto asset securities that raised more than a billion dollars in crypto assets from investors Hart called on investors to buy crypto asset securities in offerings that he failed to register with SEC He then this is where it gets tricky He then deferred those investors by spending some of their crypto assets on exorbitant luxury goods This action seeks to protect the investing public and hold hot accountable for his action So the SEC coming out with one of their we caught you announcements. This is the document. It's about 27 pages I read all 27 pages so that you don't need to read 27 pages I'll show you the points that are actually important the points that actually make sense So the first point that actually makes sense is what hearted was he raised 2 .3 million etherium from investors with 678 million dollars for the hex project back then it appears at 94 to 97 % of these each deposit saver were Recycling transactions directed by heart and other insiders which enabled heart or other insiders to gain control of a large number of hex tokens What that means is that he was taking the ETH that was deposited and he was recycling them to get more Tokens for himself and other insiders again. This is the allegations as per the SEC He says investors also invested more than 354 million by depositing their crypto assets to the pulse chain public wallet address in exchange for the promise of a future delivery of PLS tokens in connection with pulse X investors invested more than 676 million dollars by depositing their crypto assets to the pulse X Public address in exchange for the promise of future delivery of pulse X tokens They're going after him for hex for pulse and for pulse X now up until this point this whole thing is just a civil case between heart and the SEC for Potentially selling unregistered securities to this point. It's pretty simple straightforward and probably the same charges at every other ICO Founder is going to face now. Some of them will fight the the charges and something won't fight the charges That's just that's just what it is. But this is the point where it gets a little bit more tricky. So if you look at page 7 so it's point up to him Additionally heart and pulse chain defrauded investors by misappropriating at least 12 .1 million of pulse chain investor funds instead of using these funds to develop and market the pulse chain network or even fulfill hearts explicit statement that invested funds support freedom of speech heart and pulse chain used 12 .1 million dollars of investor funds for hearty for hearts personal hearty luxury luxury purchase Including a five hundred fifty five carat diamond the biggest black diamond in the world expensive watches and high -end automobiles now But I mean that was the lifestyle that that that heart was actually and we all saw this we saw the sports cars We saw the watches now. There's a big question here Is this misappropriation of investor funds on the one hand? He did tell everyone that they were sacrificing their money and if you sacrifice the money Well, then you're not actually an investor and if you're not an investor, well, then you don't have any rights that investors have so what the SEC is going after him for is they're making an assumption that a these tokens are securities and that be that he actually Misappropriated funds now again the term misappropriated funds means that Investors had expectations investors had expectations that the funds would be used for a certain purpose. These weren't investors. These are people that Sacrificed their money and probably that's gonna be hearts defense now I wonder if he actually got any legal opinions Before he actually did this and if he did get those legal opinions I wonder if he actually listened to his lawyers or whether he's eager got the better of him because it's all very well You know, sometimes you you get advice from your lawyers and as you end up making more and more money You start thinking that you're more and more invincible and if you Feel more invincible then you may stretch what your lawyers have told you and kind of justified it to yourself that it's okay to use These funds perhaps perhaps you can call this marketing Perhaps you can call this, you know part of the game to try and get people to sign up to the next community You know and you could say that this was what you did The other issue is that it seems like the SEC said that he is a US citizen, but he also The offers offering for sale of hex and hex tokens have not been registered with a commission and they were available to US investors and I think that that may actually be Another another issue that he has I'll show you I'll show you I think it's a point Page 11 so point page 11 hex hex conducted the worldwide offering with no restrictions on who could access hex and hex dot -com and he said that when hit websites and These transactions can be traced to at least 21 ,000 156 wallet addresses including addresses that belong to investors in the United States.

"And I just wonder, I'm not in any way saying the academy is perfect. The industry is perfect. Hollywood's perfect. But isn't it kind of a central for the academy and I guess that means you as the president to push back when these members are saying to imply racism after the things that I'm not saying there's nobody who's racist, but is that truly an accurate reflection of the current status quo? It's all about whether you see the glass half empty or half full. And I have had to remind people that this year is extremely diverse when people say, oh, this year is not diverse. I said, it was extremely diverse. But clearly, one community has felt left out. And understandably so, there were two excellent films that came out this year that did not see nominations coming their way. So on the one hand, if you're looking at that, if you're looking at black representation, this is not a good year for that. If you're looking at the big picture and the long-term picture, I mean, many years have had really strong black representation. So this year just didn't happen to have that. And it's diverse in many other ways. All of India is going to be watching the show. I think all over Asia, people who are watching also the diversity of the kinds of films. People are climbing most people, focus on what's lacking. So in the past people focus on the lack of big movies, you know, this year we have big movies, sometimes people focus on the lack of other representation in this year people are focusing on the lack of black representation and obviously no one person has control over that. And it is a reflection to the overall industry. So, you know, Bill and I sitting in the positions we do. We hear it from all sides, you know? Every controversy that comes up, we hear diametrically opposed positions. That's just the nature of the world that we live in. Right. With our last minutes, can I do what we call just rapid fire? First thing that comes to mind. Okay, you hear that HBO is going to put the season finale of the last of us up against the Oscars do you say anything to them or do you just have to eat that? No, we just, you know, people are watching in all different ways. You know, maybe they're not tuning in. They're flipping channels maybe. They're looking at it on TikTok. They're looking at it on YouTube. People will find a way to see the show. We're not worried. There was a report this week that Vladimir zelensky from Ukraine wanted to be involved with this year's Oscars, but that was passed over. I know there's been sort of studies done over the years that when anything political is a part of the Oscars telecast, people tune out, is that the primary reason for passing up on them? Yes, we don't have time. We don't have time except to focus on the things that are most relevant and most celebrated on the show. Sure. I know that as we talked about earlier, Chris Rock, it's a mixed bag for how I imagine you may feel about him. On the other hand, I imagine that if he were to come out and present best picture, there would be a 5 minute standing ovation, has there been any conversation with him about presenting at the Oscars this year. Early on before Bill and I assumed our roles apparently he was approached about hosting and he said no.

For several years leading up to August 2nd, 2022, when David's David Rubin is turning out, how early on were you thinking, this might be kind of an interesting thing to run for. And then what do you remember about that night? What can you tell us about that night? There were some, I think in the, you know, maybe in a spring or summer, there was discussion amongst all the governors like, you know, who do you think should be the next president? And people were talking to people, and people asked me, I'm sure asked many other people, do you want to run to you? Because first of all, you want the person to really be available the job, right? And then be a person that would have the support of many governors. And I don't know. I was thinking about it. I was like, could I take this on? It's so funny because people say, how do you have time for this? And it reminds me of when I got pregnant. And I tell a Friends of mine who are thinking about having babies like, you don't just have the time sitting there, going, well, this is a time I've been reserving for a baby or to be present at the academy. But you make it happen. You know, you just re jigger things so that it can happen. So I kind of knew, and all throughout as an indie producer, you never want to know when projects are going to land. So sometimes you're like, oh my God, what if these two or three things happen at the same time? It's just, you just make it work. And people shouldn't really remind it. This is, this is an unpaid position. You've got you're doing this on top of whatever else you have to do for anyone who does that job to make a living in this business. So it is a commitment and an incredible commitment. But I can, especially, you're catching me right before the Oscars. And I'm seeing the incredible teams of people. I've always been impressed by the academy staff and how well organized it is and how people really shoot for the stars.

"So 21 years ago, you become a member of the academy, and but it seems like it was not until 7 years ago that you were really activated as a member of the academy. For the benefit of our listeners, can you share what happened at that year's Oscars and did it make you want to slap Chris Rock? Oh, I'm looking over. Well, it's out there. So I might as well just repeat some of the things that already been said. Now, it was the year Chris Rock was a host and it was the Oscars so white and there was a lot of discussion about racial diversity and so many of us were looking forward to it. And what I heard since was Chris was under a lot of press. Some people were saying, don't do it, don't do it. And there was this feeling like we have to give them carte blanche because he's already doing us a favorite kind of thing. So I had an Oscar party and a bunch of us are watching and the show starts and he gives a really cool monologue, I remember in the beginning and then it's not too far into the show. He's like, and now I want to introduce you to the accountants of price waterhouse Cooper, and he came out with three children, three Asian children came out with briefcases and here are accountants. And it just was jarring. It was hurtful. It was like, oh, we're really being made fun of for one of the very things that we're most sensitive about, which is being nerds. I literally grew up thinking that all Asians were nerds. I really did, you know? That was the and that's why I had the incredible epiphany and joy when I was in China just to be able to talk to artists. I was like, these are my people, even though they weren't my people, but in certain level they were. And so that was very hurtful. And then later Sasha Baron Cohen said something about little yellow people with tiny dongs. I can't even believe I'm saying these words, but he's set to close.

China Accuses US of Aggression
"So as I explained in the last segment, our policies and behavior towards China has been anything much confrontational. In fact, it has been quite soft and cowardly. One of the biggest things that we did was just send 100 to 200 more troops to Taiwan. When I reported on that last week on my showtime, was someone wrote into me and said, I think you got that number wrong. And I said, no, I didn't. It's 100 to 200. So hardly anything to write home to mom about, but nevertheless, China is accusing us of aggression. And I was providing some examples of the many ways that China is the aggressor in the United States and towards other foreign powers. But back to what I was discussing, I was mentioning that in 2022, the Justice Department found and charged several Chinese Communist Party affiliates for planning to violently attack a U.S. House of representative candidate for New York's tenth congressional district named Jiang Yang. He is a Chinese American and during his campaign. He spoke out very harshly against the CCP and against communism and again these Chinese affiliates tried to target him and assassinate him and luckily it was uncovered, but just yet another example of China's aggression. I also mentioned that they have opened several overseas police stations around the world, including one in New York City. Chinese officials have said that this is necessary to provide quote unquote vital services for Chinese citizens living in the United States, but isn't that what an embassy does?

Beijing official in Hong Kong warns US envoy after speech
"A Chinese diplomat has accused the U.S. consul general in Hong Kong of meddling in its affairs by saying the city's freedoms were eroding, consul general, Gregory may, gave a video address last month in which he expressed concern over diminished deputies in Hong Kong. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs office in Hong Kong said its commissioner yu guang Yang met with May to express his objection to his comments. You apparently warned me not to cross red lines. They included not endangering China's national security and not engaging in what they called political infiltration in Hong Kong, Hong Kong is among a raft of issues that have sent ties between Beijing and Washington to their lowest level in years.

Eric and Kevin 'Votestradamus' McCullough Discuss the Impact of CSI
"Votes you're down. You and I are gigantic fans of Christian solidarity, international CSI. We're doing a campaign on this program right now today this month to free slaves in the southern Sudan Christians who are enslaved by radical Muslims who believe in slavery. They don't have biblical values. They believe in what the Quran says on slavery. And we have an opportunity. I almost can't believe how beautiful it is that we get with our money to actually literally free slaves. What's your experience with CSI? Oh, too big to fill an hour for. But I will just say this, Eric, that every good impulse that you feel from what we're doing is magnified 10,000 times in the heart of that slave that is freed. And it's kind of an interesting the Chinese talk about the yin and Yang and the push and pool of life and kind of the counterbalance of what everything is. And I'm not talking about that from a spiritual standpoint. I'm just saying there seems to be an opposite pool in different directions at times. If you thought about what could possibly be the worst life experience and moment for a human to go through, being a captive of war being drudged off to another country on foot, being repetitively raped and sexually assaulted being told you have to mutilate your own genitals or you can not be a good woman in the culture that you're going to. You're forced to give up your Christian identity and take on an Islamic identity. You are called names that are so heinous that we can't repeat them on this airway because it would be a violation of FCC standards. And yet that's what you are called for thousands of times a day, hundreds of times a month, many, many years in a row. And it just goes on and on.

"I spoke with Andrew Yang earlier this week, obviously he goes way back, founded venture for America, ran for president, has a lot of thoughts about the economy. And he thinks there's a long way long way down to go. Take a listen to what he had to say. We have a ways to go on the downslope. I certainly think that folks should try and keep some powder dry, make sure that you have enough cash to make it through for a little bit longer than you might hope. So he's saying to keep powder dry for a longer period of time, you know, how much farther how much farther down do you think this slope goes and how do you think these seeds are going to negotiate, you know, not knowing how long this is going to last. Yeah, I mean, as far as we do see a lag in data from what we see, what we're expecting in the narrative. And so even from right now, I would expect deal counts to continue to slide and deal value, slide a little bit more for a few more quarters before it catches up to what we're talking about right now in the beginning of Q four. As far as keeping dry powder, I think again, a lot of the that unlocking or getting that dry powder back into the market is going to have a lot to do with what goes on in the public markets. LPs are very over balanced right now. They've been putting a lot more money to private equity and venture capital over the past few years. Now, the public portfolio is very much lower than they were last year. I think they're looking at their VC allocation. It has a little overweight. And so having those investors continue to hold on to dry powder, not call it down from LPs. I think it's going to be very important until we again see a little bit more certainty in the market. See interest rates interest rates stop rising and inflation kind of start to lower and kind of get to a sense of balance throughout the entire market.

They say it's a Macron. I don't know we can believe on anything. Do you think Olympians ought to be going there? If I were an Olympian, I would be taken a deep breath before I'd go there. And let's face it, China is going to use the one tool that they have used consistently through this whole thing, which is massive authoritarian techniques. Everything from massive lockdowns of huge cities, economic isolations, all of that.

Judge in Rittenhouse Case Criticized Following ‘Asian Food’ Comments
"The judge in the Kyle rittenhouse case. Ordered Asian food in. I don't know for the jury for I don't know for whom, for himself. And made the following comment, you will now hear it from the judge. So this is now being played on CNN. The judge presiding over KAR rittenhouse's homicidal homicide trial made a strange and offensive joke inside the courtroom today. I want you to listen to what judge Bruce Schroeder said as the court was preparing to take a lunch break. Let's hope for one o'clock. I don't know if the Asian food isn't coming. It's on his not one of those boats and Long Beach harbor. So he appears to be referring to the supply chain backlogs caused by congestion problems in California ports. But his comments were offensive and perceived as anti Asian by some. And as placing blame on Asian people for a catastrophic event happening in this country. John Yang, the president and executive director of Asian Americans advancing justice told CNN that the joke and I quote here, harms our community and puts us in the crosshairs of microaggressions as well as actual physical violence. That's CNN as my producer just said. Where did they find us the Asian action association for justice or something? You see how they lie? I don't lying. Is not an issue to the left. The judge ordered Asian food, and made a crack, I hope it's not being delayed. In the Lake. How is that possibly anti Asian?

I want to say that this has been some kind of a ride for asian americans. You know There was a time when felt like we couldn't tell any story is truly not them the way we wanted them to and when we did they had to be a certain kind of story over just the last a three four years. We started more idiosyncratic and yet really masterful new kinds of of narrative exploring explaining and just giving experiences around very different ways of being asian american and blue by us is right up there In in that world of like the minorities so just wanted to give you props for that and maybe ask bit. What the origin story in some ways of of this film. Was you know what i mean. You know Being asian american we all know. Adopt these you know it's I'm sure we all know that. Adoption originated the idea of international. Adoption originated in south korea after the korean war. And you know the whole family went there and the kids off the streets or whatever the case that needed families place a nice christian families in the united states and over the years become a big business in and you can't tell an asian narrative that's inclusive without including that storyline Without including that experience in this in this country So you know i. I'm friends quite a few adoptees and and I've grown up with few. And i started hearing that this was taking place at adopted. These were being imported in. I thought it was absolutely shocking.

"Western medicine. I stated earlier in this episode. Line that the gall bladder is considered one of the six extraordinary yang. Can't this tiny little. Or i know many of you go to stores vile no not to an acupuncturist you see. The gallbladder is considered an extraordinary young order because even similar to what upstate early unlike.

"So blood vessels transport refined foods essences as well as gene blood throughout the body. Now when it comes to holding blood and serving as the apparatus which functions as reservoir for its circulation. The blood vessels receiving hold in nutritive. Chee that has been extracted here. We go by the spleen as essence from the food in which we readily serving as a source for which chicken blood can circulate inside of now when it comes to transporting refined residences extracted by spleen along with team blood throughout the body. The blood vessels facilitate the function of all bodily tissues being nourished by cheam blood as well as the essences extracted from food lion. Those two main functions of the bug peissel's to an acupuncturist in an acupuncturist considered just like boned. The uterus we consider blood vessels to be an extraordinary because think about beginning young function. It holds blood which is yet online but blood vessels are hollow which is a shaper beyond. This is what makes these six young organs to be considered extraordinaire the next extraordinary young organ too inaccurate punctuation going to surprise you again acupuncture mero mero now. The concept of marrow to an acupuncturist must not be confused with bone marrow as is understood in western medicine. You see kidney. Essence is the origin of merrill as it is an important substance and our brain as well as spinal cord in even out bones forming bone marrow along with the kidneys the stomach and spleen also responsible for the production of marrow has tuned acupuncturist. Marrow has three actions. It's responsible for filling out boned within our bodies. Of course it plays a part in production of blood as well as it nourishes brain acupuncture. Can you sort of see how acupunctures may consider. Marrow is an internal organ it has functions that are required for our sustenance to remain and now when it comes to filling up the bones as a form of essence fills out bones for purposes of nourishment as far as let's say playing apartment production of blood because kidney essence services the origin of merrill as well as the kidney meridian being responsible for nourishing blood this is how merrill plays a partner production and when it comes to nourish the brain marrow is a form of essence fills up both the spinal cord and the brain to provide it with the nutrients it requires to function. And those are basically two functions of mauer's undisturbed by acupunctures. Need you guys. As i say as i said in the past with regard to function out the twelve internal organs lock in the functions of extraordinary young organs as well. Because it's all going to connect when deep into discussions on diseases and disorders will come together now. Another extraordinary young is the brain and when it comes to the functions of the brain to an acupuncturist the brain has two main functions. Now keep in mind. You guys are hope you still have your understanding the western concept of the internal organs. Completely blind all right now to an acupuncturist. The brain has two main functions. The i just had it controls intelligence in a second. It's considered the ceo of marrow and control sight hearing smell taste and speech when it comes to controlling intelligence the brain is seen as the palace persons original hsien which is the place where intelligence memory thinking and consciousness reside for those who view the video on acupunctures. My life youtube channel on the conscience of the heart. You'll notice that a lot of these functions overland now when it comes to the brain as the see of marrow sight hearing smell taste and speech all depend on the brain. So there really.

America i'm phil you and i'm jeff yang and we are here with some very special guests fresh from reality television and maybe a window serving delicious food near you. We're talking here to ted. Kim yong kim and on one of seoul sausage who competed just now in the great food truck race all-stars season and we'll talk a little bit about that finale which just happened What it was like being on on the all stars of this competition whereas like winning season three of that competition and just in general what. It's like to be trying to sell sausage or things other than sausage in a pretty rough environment for selling any kind of stuff right now. Welcome to the show guys It's so good to have you guys here as you guys know. I've been a fan and a supporter of sociologist Since before day one. I think yeah i knew guys before you guys didn't started in was a huge fan of season three and everything you've done of course have been a big consumer of your your wears a since then fan of your sausages know. I was wondering maybe we could start by. Maybe talking about 'cause 'cause when you guys compete in season three this season that you won you guys had never actually run as a food truck before and i'm kind of wondering like and we still don't know how to do can't jump into that like i i. I do starting this venture even before the food truck race. But what was the impetus to get started. Where you up the short story version or the long version cast on the show and you know We want a food. Truck aussies three so. It was never part of our plans. But here we are. You know We open our store and we have a truck and a and a store at the same time. So yeah that's how we started

"Something evolved when we kind of had the kernel of an idea a long time ago and then talking about it and collaborating with people and then getting lena's input getting naomi akis input just unbelievable actress in the show and having her rehearse with us and and sort of gleaning stuff from her perspective and putting that into the show that all goes in. Its this stu that just gets ideally richer and richer and richer. And then by the way you're then paring back. Its the editing process and literally and figuratively literally editing the show and editing the scripts and editing. While you're on set and sort of figuring out what to put in after all these people add stuff in so Yeah no it's it's. It's been a long time coming and we're really really happy. It's out there in the world. It was a process to make for sure. That's an understatement. But yeah well. I thought it was a beautiful beautiful season three. I texted the you. That and i particularly was moved by episode four. I mean i think each season. You have one episode. That's a little bit different than the rest of the episodes and i was like. How the fuck did you guys write that. How you guys. May i mean. I've been part of that. I've seen the process. None of you guys have been part of the birthing process like how did you. I've the whole thing. I i mean. How did that happen. Yeah i think. I have to a lotta i credit suzy's because it's you know. The amount of work he put into working on. That script was was paramount but but it also speaks to. I think like like you said it's a little bit surprising because you look at the you know. Some of the standard episodes of the show a lot of it was based on us right. It's like parents is like me. He's talking right. It's like us having a conversation. And then i was talking to our parents and figuring out what it's like to be The children of immigrants and what that gap in communication is like. And all that stuff and then the thanksgiving up since like somewhat based in lena's life right it's like we talked to lena and we talked about her family. We talked about her relationship. Storing up and coming out and what life was like for her. Then you look at this episode. Which again is one of the things. We're most proud of ever having worked on. It's an amazing episode and in my opinion And i say that because crediting the other people not my contribution to but but yeah. It's it's it's one of my favorite episode certainly of this year and probably in the history show and a lot of that since it's not our personal personal personal personal experience between the three of us. It was research right. It's watching documentaries. And it's interviewing people and it's getting those stories that may not be in the books right. It's people on the show. We ended up talking to i. I won't even disclose who you know. People who've gone through that kind of thing and for those of you don't know it's it's i don't want to spend too much but it it has to do with Fertility and and and the troubles that women go through to to get pregnant. And and you know. Obviously that's not the case with any of us yet right. That's not the case of any of us and and so it was really building empathy building the ability to put yourself in someone else's shoes really through work in research and interviews and and you know. We had a smattering that we started learning to do that. The first couple of seasons like even if you look at an episode like new york i love you which was the second season episode where we follow different people around new york who aren't the main characters. We interviewed people. We interviewed taxi drivers because one of the episodes of one of the stories about taxi driver. We interviewed doormen for building. One of the sections was about a doorman and then one of the characters happened to be deaf so we interviewed You know deaf people and and and stories from them so that was kind of you know a little bit of a germ of of of a way to do things and know this is i think pretty commonplace for people who work in the more dramatic space but for us as people coming for comedy was kind of a revelation it was getting these ideas from people and and not ideas for stories -sarily but just details from their lives and perspectives and how felt in a certain situation. All of that again goes into the stu and helps you make something. That feels real. And then it's refining right. It's refining not just the scripts although those were rewritten over and over and over again but then onset figuring out what feels genuine. What feels emotional. What feels truthful. And what doesn't it's funny. You talk about here your process and to hear you talk about watching documentary to educate yourself about the subject to write about i. I love what you've done in the season specifically splitting off the camera to follow lena's character you know and and it reminds me so much of like you're making a scripted comedy drama series here but it's almost like documentary in its in its form right like dave and i are both huge fans of formula. One drivers five netflix. Another netflix streamer. And it's just wherever the interesting story is where the series goes right and it's like the interesting story in this season i know this. Isn't i understand the difference between real life and Television but the real the story in the universe of master of none is most interesting with denise here right we pick up and like her life has become sort of the driving force here and so the camera naturally panned over there and just started following. I think it's super interesting to see you. Guys take that approach almost of like documentarian of the world. You've created that that's a great way of putting it and and even more than that you know. It was comment on a little bit season two. Or it's like oh they're interested in everyone in new york. It's kind of about its curiosity. It's open-mindedness it's it's the curiosity of the world around you and the people around you and i love that's my favorite stuff it it's just when it's capturing real moments capturing what it feels like to be that other person or to be that in that world you know. This is a strange comparison in some ways. But if you look it what clouds out did in in nomad land. You know all everyone in that movie is a real person. Except for frances. Mcdormand david straight there and think his son in the movie the rest of it is real people and he just can't find people like that like watching it like i was like these can't be actors they can't be actors is i with all due respect to actors. It's like some people you can't duplicate right. You just can't duplicate it and you know look. Our show doesn't go that far but there is i mean since season one. It's been like you know what lean is gonna play. Someone who's kind of like lena. Sushi is anger has going to play somebody. Who's got to like eric and to by someone who's got like z's in some ways and especially in comedy that works really well a lot of the time because that's just how people are funny and so it's like people are funny when they're like themselves and they're able to do that. I'm not saying that you can't inhabit a character that's kind of was kind of really working for as well but you're you're right in the sense that the most interesting story was here. We talked about aversion. That was that's moments in love. And it's devon woman and it's just like they are and you know what we've seen more of that. I got to say we've seen more stories like that. Then stories like this one in for so many reasons for sure. So when we meet denise in the top of season three. i'm not going to give anything away. But you know she's she's successfully written a new york times bestseller and working on the next one but it's not coming right. She's having trouble getting the next one out. We asked to simply is that. Is that something that either one of you recognize. Like she's got this huge pressure to deliver the second one and like its success. Induced writer's block to either one of you feel like you've encountered that. I think all of us do man. I think anyone who's had anything. That's even mildly successful as like. Oh shit i gotta do this again like and then you realize that it's not even doing a one more time. It's doing it ten more times or twenty times. Then you're never gonna feel. I think again i. I said all that stuff about we being pretty happy the time. I think you're always going to feel like a fraud. Some percentage of the time. And it's almost like i think dave talked about this at length he certainly has in the past. And maybe still does. But you gotta you know helps to overcome that by just doing the next thing and i think in this case it was so real for all of us. I think all of us have experienced some level that you know obviously for this show you know we won wards forward and alina obviously gone onto tremendous success as well. But there's always the pressure of what's the next thing. What's the next thing. What's the next thing. I think it's relatable in the sense that no matter what the scale of what you're working on is god you. You might be like it was at the only thing you know. Was that the only thing. I might no good. And and and that's like that's.

It's hardly gig but it is funny to to to do so it's all your your house is a podcast do your house. Your writer's room. Your house is your whatever right. It's everything so and your house is also gymnasium. Where logging in. Maybe twenty thousand steps a day right. Yeah more poorly. How many steps have you taken in the last week. Everyone who knows me knows almost steps freak almost free basically in in the regular writer's room like previous shows every other show i've ever worked on. It's like i'll walk around as we're writing the show which is weird on the one hand but also kind of okay because a writer's room is pretty casual place and you generally have a little bit of space so i like to pace around and you know it's okay right you're there you know you're you're working all day you're pitching whatever stories characters jokes. Whatever it's okay to walk around now since we're on zoom. I can't do that right so i need to be in front of the computer. I need to look at the screen and be visible for our writers. So i i was like well. Here's the here's the compromise mcgregor seen suggested that she's like you should get a treadmill. Is you get a treadmill to go under the desk or table. Whatever says okay. i'll try it so guy really cheap ass one from like or something for la. And then i got it and and it worked pretty well and so it was like all like this is pretty good like maybe i'll get a real one. Maybe i'll get like a treadmill. That actually works for the first day. I did it. I walked about thirteen miles and then tristan. Jose it's too much you've gotta stop walking going. you know. You've got a treadmill for for your writers. Jim but i just walked all day while we were working so ended up being and then i i did also like then the other thing is i had a meeting with somebody later that day and he suggests like let's go for a walk as great so then i went for a walk through. This man is attacking onto three miles to this. But yeah i have a lot of energy for people who don't know me and a lot of energy burn it off gotta burn it off so now. I'm trying to get down to like on mondays. Lieuten than tuesday's do like nine then wednesdays like eight and it'll taper on weekends. I'll do feel more less. People may not know this as a healthy eater and drinker. It's not true that's batting. Well lodges let's like you you you you don't eat you eat a healthy lunch but you go out to restaurants. Oh yes without sometime in your healthy diner. you'd like not a healthful diner. I'm a i'm a. I eat a lot less why the writers were accusing me like like. Oh you so you workout every morning you you walk ten miles. You're eating salad for lunch. Like yeah but i also eat and drink crazy shit at dinner. like anything like my friends like you eat you. Sometimes you'll eat the worship. And i'm like yeah. Well burn it off if i walk twenty miles or a for. I was confused. So dave was with dave was saying is you're the equivalent of if you were a baby he become you. You're such a good eater is what he'd be saved. Allen is a healthy looking felt man and again as i say when we were in japan she was fitting into extra large. Basically like that. That's funny like i went to japan. I'm i'm about five ten. One forty so i went to japan and i was enormous. I would wear like a large. I would wear like large blazer. Or whatever. And the i by by no means an donnas. But i remember the lady measuring me. The first time i went with you we went to eat on or something we got. I was getting a suit made or something and they the lady measuring me was like. Oh wow are you a looks like you work out. Are you a professional athlete. I'm like brag because god. I'm not rift but it was just. I work out semi regularly at like an la fitness they. They were very surprised and again. I couldn't there's no shoe size. At least when. I lived there oversight. Ten extra large or larger. You're not your size. Unfortunately allen you ain't cannot join the big boy asian club. I love that club by the way. Some of my favorite characters in that club that's that's the also honoring big boy. Indian club is fun green guys. I love big indian guy or big guy to kick your ass fun but if you know i'm good friends with alan and he's talking about writer's room but you're writing a show with maya rudolph right now. It's a fun one man i. It's so funny like you know. Obviously i've done a little bit some more dramatic stuff recently. You know i did. A movie called tiger which is a drama. And there's a new season master of none out. That's that's a little more dramatic starring. Lean away the name yacky and then this shows like we. What's funny man. it's a funny show. And we want it to be fun and welcoming and warm and and sort of optimistic and all that stuff while also not being an idiotic show hopefully be meaningful as well but yeah. This one's a comedy and yeah we're writing now. Who's going to stream it It's on apple. And co created it with my friend matt hubbard and we did a show called forever together with With my on amazon a couple years back so yeah reunion of sorts and alan is always busy always working. When do you ever get burned out. Because i mean how many projects you got going on right now. I'm being warned about that in some capacity or other by look at it. It's like seven or eight or something. It's like seven or eight shows and you know a couple movie is always kicking around that up than always thinking about to throw the way i look at it as my focus is usually going to be on stuff. I'm writing directing that very second right so that very second in the writer's room right now it's the maya show and okay. We're gonna go shoot that later this year. I don't love to split. Focus on something like super writing writing writing but it helps to have collaborators right so another thing i might be working on another thing with z's or someone like that in okay we'll start writing that but i'll do phone calls with that person and really get into that in one. I'm digging into it. I'm digging into it then when it comes to producing like i do have time to devote to that. So it's like oh we'll go pitch a show or you know in that instance. I like to feel like. I'm providing help to these other writers directors and producers and that i'm additive and that i'm giving notes in helping them craft their scripts and craft their edits and cuts and all that stuff. So yeah i mean it ends up being very busy job but i think the moment which i feel like i'm overwhelmed or it's too much or i'm giving other things shortchange like i'm shortchanging products than. Yeah that's the time. cut it off i. It's it's reaching a point where i'm busy but You know again. Like i said i'll let energy and i i feel like unproductive on working. So do you think this constant working mode of alan yang which another long time. Now it's always working. Is that asian sensibility or just you. I think a little bulk. I think a little bit. I think like i don't so growing up. It certainly was like. I wasn't like the hardest working kid but i think my parents had such high expectations and and i was able to do a lot of stuff i just. I don't know what that is like. I think i'm fast at doing some stuff. And so as a kid you know was always faster doing school stuff i was. I was okay at sports. Was okay at music. I was like i was a decent a lot of different things and so my parents just kind of packed my day and it was that like being involved in a lot of different things which i think helped make me kind of more well rounded type of person for one thing and then secondly they had high expectations so this is a stereotype but it was true in my household. It's like okay. You bring home ninety five like it should be a hundred right and so for me like that. Meant working hard and that meant like good enough. Usually it wasn't good enough right. It's like you gotta you gotta do better and better better. So i think all those things combined. It's a combination. i think i like. I look at the power of genetics. You look at like your photos and then you'll get your parents photos like damn like they look alike right. It's like there's a lot of that so there's the power of genetics. but then there's also the power of of nurture right. And i think i give i give my parents a lot of credit my mom especially because she was driving me to shit and like you know encourage them to do better in all honesty holding my feet to the fire. When i didn't do well and so i think her high expectations coupled with the demonstration of hard work. My parents are both incredibly hard workers. That all helps But i just can't imagine. I don't like laying around that much. I i like relaxing. Don't get me wrong like auto workaholic. Dave knows you know we hang out enough or was he knows that like i.

Does she have the right to be will know we should Least listen to her first. You know, I can't say you should believe her if we've never heard or But until we hear what she says you should wait. See what she says, and then make judgment. It's really a hard thing to say Somebody story isn't true if you have no evidence, but I agree. That it's difficult to just assume they're telling the truth. So Since you can't go back 20 years and we probably can't find anybody who was in the room.

"Mayoral candidate Andrew Yang that is coming up at 10 o'clock here on W N. Y C. Thistles Pull Henry with news our life from the BBC in London. Big priority among environmentalists, aiming to slow global warming has bean planting more trees. But experts from the Royal Botanical Gardens in queue in London, a warning that planting the wrong tree in the wrong place. Can actually do more harm than good. Scientists have proposed a set of golden rules as they call them tree planting, which they say should be taken on board by all nations this decade. Hate. Hardwick is co lead author on the Conservation Partnership coordinator at the Royal Botanic Gardens in Kew. So what we're talking about here is being guided by nature to try and restore the forest with a mix of species, which is similar to what would have been found in the natural forest. So I think people imagine, though. When you hear about reforestation. That's exactly what's happening is that the forest is being restored much along the same lines is how it was before. But in reality that often isn't the case. And so one of the studies we sight in our paper. Shows that only about a third of the global commitments to reforestation are restoring the natural forest, and two thirds of them are commercial monoculture plantations. And aka forestry. So we're not saying that there's no place for plantations in Agra forestry, but we'd really like to tip the balance more towards restoring trees that are typical of the natural ecosystem. But can it really be true that the wrong species of tree in the wrong place is worse than no tree at all? Yes, well, it can I mean in in a couple of different ways, So first of all, Planting trees in the wrong place means planting trees where they don't naturally occur. So we're very strongly advising against planting trees on Pete Lens and grasslands and savannahs places where, naturally there wouldn't be much tree cover and they already evolved. Their own unique biodiversity and planting trees on them will just help to wipe that out. It is important to be careful of introducing species from a completely different ecosystem on there's lots of examples around the world where this has happened. I really famous one is South Africa, which was planted with A lot of occasions be. She's back in the 19th and 20th century on, it's had a devastating impact on their local habitats. They're so their native Heath Island, which is called Fain boss. Have a tent is being almost wiped out in areas by this dense canopy of occasions. That's growing where the faint boss should be. It sounds as if local knowledge is crucially important here. So therefore local people, too. Absolutely. So This is one of our most important rules, and it's right up there at the top that local people should always be put front and center of any restoration project or reforestation project because without their absolute support involvement right from the beginning. Is not going to be any long term success in the Paul is very famous for involving its communities in forest management, and we give another example from Tanzania about the nattily system. Where again, Avery successfully involved local people in the whole planning process. Suppose a tree making money doesn't harm things, either. As long as it's sustainable Now, that's absolutely right. So for the project to be successful in the long term, the local people have to support it on and If they can get a sustainable income from the forest. Then, of course, they're more likely to support it. That was Kate Hardwick from Kew Gardens in London..

"When i was looking at it we have even more to cover today. The nine originally thought we have that throwback story a couple of covid stories though very different and some news on the new york city mayor's race. It's some great stuff to end the week. So let's get caught up so getting in the way back machine. Do you remember the name. Alexi nevada i mentioned it way back in august. He's the russian opposition leader. Who was poisoned with a nerve agent. Anti ended up getting taken to a hospital in germany to recover extensive nerve damage in actually had to be put in a medically induced coma which is never a good sign. I guess obviously he's feeling a lot better now because he announced that he's going back to russia sunday. He said on twitter quote. There was never a question for me whether to return or not and quote in just over here thinking. What the heck demean that poisoned you man. It's definitely not my cup of tea. I mean this is a heck of a recovery. Because he's already been back at work trying to figure out how this happened to him. He's been working with an investigative group called bellingham cat. in together. they found evidence that directly links the russian fsb the federal security service. Which is like the kgb but supposedly better crush air quotes because it's not the soviet union anymore. Sure the way they found this information out though sounds like a morning radio skit according to them and they posted audio they trick the fsba into admitting that they poison navalny by putting the nerve agent in the seams of his underwear. Okay hold on a second first off. How the heck do you trick the twenty first century version of the kgb by prank calling them second nerve agent must be no joke if the one almost killed him just by being in the scenes of his underwear you don't even have to ingested by eating it or having your drink spiked it just goes right through your skin. His supporters seemed to be thinking. Like i am because the article says that they were surprised to hear that he's coming back. They're worried that putin will throw him in prison right away. Because he's got some issues relating to a conviction from two thousand fourteen. He was convicted of embezzling five hundred thousand dollars in. Us dollars from a russian subsidiary of some french cosmetics company. He originally got a suspended sentence but his brother actually got sent to prison now. They're trying to get him again saying that he misused donations from his supporters. Like they actually care about his supporters. Who are against putin. The russian prosecutors are also saying that he should have to serve that prison sentence because he violated the terms of the sentence by going to germany. You know when he was fighting for his life because the russian government poisoned him. Frankly i don't think it's hard to connect the dots figure out. These charges are most likely completely fake against putin. He either get fake charges to throw you in jail. Which is the best case scenario or you get a nerve agent to the face or both. Oh also can't forget falling out of a window by accident by accident yuna accidentally gets shoved out of a window happens to me all the time just to further prove that point the european court for human rights has since ruled that the two thousand fourteen conviction was unlawful. It does sound like there is real reason to be concerned. Because russia's prison service said issued a warrant for his arrest in late december already so there is real danger obviously if he win against putin in the first place. He's away tougher guy than me. But if i were him get comfy enjoy berlin. I the moderna. Ceo is out on a media tour for some reason because he made some more notable comments at another conference this time. It was the j. P. morgan healthcare conference as for his notable comments. They were that he thinks covid will be around forever. He said quote. We are going to live with this virus. We think forever end quote viruses that are around continuously like the flu and the common cold are called endemic viruses. Just thought i'd throw that out there in case it's a trivia question or you just want asylum smart some time now. That was the end of that. But this actually led me down a rabbit hole because this cnbc story had links to new information on the south african virus as well as to possible new strains that researchers found that originated in the us for the potentially new us drains. It's the same old story. We've been hearing. The mutation seem to be making covert more contagious but have no effect on how deadly disease or how well the vaccine will work. I think it said that one of the strains has only been found in one patient which is pretty crazy. They said that this one had a mutation that's identical to the uk one so like it made me wonder Are you guys may just like really tiger or something. It's in one person and it's identical to the uk one. Maybe it's just the uk one. Obviously they're probably sure than it is a new one but still that just sounded funny to me as for the south african strain. It's spread to a couple of other countries now. The uk france switzerland japan australia and zambia. The uk health secretary said quote. I'm incredibly worried about the south african variant. And that's why we took the action that we did to restrict all flights from south africa. This is a very very significant problem. Even more of a problem than the u k new variant end quote. That's scary enough in itself. But he just didn't explain why he said any this. So thanks thankfully. Dr scott gottlieb. He's the former. Cdc director than i'd trust most said that the south african one is concerning him because it seems to be rejecting antibody drug treatment so technically it could become more deadly. But for what it's worth the cdc still says that there's no evidence that it causes more severe illness or then it's more deadly but it's probably too early since this is the common pattern. We're seeing you know like every single new strain is more contagious but not more deadly. I just have to ask are all of these mutations helping it spread more quickly or these changes actually not doing anything. In terms of how easy it is to spread and is just spreading more quickly because people are being dumb and getting tired of covert rules. Obviously there are changes to the virus. Because it's been confirmed by genetics. But is it actually just some coincidence that it's spreading quickly and they happened to catch the new strain when they tested. I don't know maybe a son crazy again. Not a scientist. The other interesting thing that was in the story about the us variants was about calling these. The uk very interest south african variant. And now that. I think about it. It's probably just trying to shake the blame now that the us might have some variants but some expert in the article said that it's not really fair to call the variants by where they're coming from because it really could have started in another country. That just isn't as advanced and isn't looking for these mutations and it wasn't founded until it reached a country that was more scientifically well-equipped so those are some covert.
