What Is An American | Bugle Weekly Episode 66

Follow up boost since last time I used “Dary” to refer to Jon there was some confusion... In Letterkenny there is a character named Daryl and they call him Dary. And a while back Jon said something about his parents almost naming him Daryl? Hell, now i can’t remember but yeah, that’s the over-explanation and here’s some more sats... Cunt(s)

Matt and Dary! My favorite podcasters! I really should have hired Travis Bickle to help plumb my pool heater. Maybe I could have saved a few ASICs and a few thousand cuck bucks. I just realized Travis name is Travis BiTckle - clever! Remote automated drones activating when people are nearby......? great.... There is a Black Mirror episode about this - it’s terrifying... (Metalhead Black Mirror: Season 4, Episode 5)

Pioneer Miner swag incoming?

I got 21 projects but a bitaxe ain’t one 😂… glad this rip didn’t include any mentions of merrigolds. Your 2nd chat with Travis was a school session. Been thinking about residential hotwater for a few months so the info related to hydro units (and new whatsminer) and boiler style indirect water heating was new to me and I’m a pretty seasoned (albeit whitecollar) MechE. Cheers

I absolutely fucking hate sports ball small talk! It’s such a phony way to go through life, not for me!

I can barely get out of bed most mornings I’m in so much pain, and have very little time inbetween demolishing buildings or jack hammering to hit the gym…… But I force myself to…. Because we are warriors @npub1luwkteu2e… , so stop being a pussy and start working out!

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Should have named the last episode “Cash for Clankers” - I honestly thought the title was “Clunkers” until y’all switched to robotism... Anyway, man, I have so many stories about buying or selling cars! Dealerships are the worst! We just dealt with one and it was quite a situation! This poor kid sold his first car to me and I took him on a rollercoaster of emotions!

Another great rip gentleman. PPI’s (pre-purchase inspections) are common practice in the P2P vehicle market. At least for the “enthusiasts”, and as long as the potential buyer pays for it.

@npub15604np6cc… Is good people’s! 💪💪💪💪💪

I hate buying car at car dealerships. I usually want to fist fight everyone in there so it’s actually a test of my strength to hold back 🤪

Enjoying this conversation. Thank you gentlemen.

🍻

Outworking everyone so you get to call the shots is a message I needed today. Cheers Jon

I certainly feel like a LARP most of the time. But generally speaking aren’t we all LARPing as a living creature in preparation for eternity? Either spend your time here trying to be a “good” person or maybe one day you answer for your sins before the Lord himself. I do really appreciate the comment about raising girls who won't need me one day. It's my biggest goal but my greatest fear. The thought of failure or success are both terrifying. Trying to enjoy time with my children while they are kids while also ALWAYS considering their future as an adult is a juxtaposition that I don’t think most humans fully understand. Cultivate that passion within them, protect that innocence, but also ensure they fully understand the world is ready to terminate all their hopes and dreams at any moment...

Max I feel you on the whole podcast burn out thing. I’ve felt the same way. I used to consistently week after week listen to 40-80 hours a week of mostly Bitcoin or Libertarian podcasts! I’ve tremendously reduced that amount. And now I’ve gone back to listening to what I still can at 1.75-2.0 speed.

“Do you call them merrigolds over there?” Umm…

Free Samourai! Free America... Y'all are incredible. Keep up the good circle jerk!

Yeah, Freedom Tech sounds good on a Friday, but let’s be honest, people only test out such software on Tuesdays or Wednesdays.

Happy Freedom Day! 🇺🇸🟰🥇🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🟰💩

When y’all started the second part of this show the audio on top of other audio is the funniest shit I've heard I've heard in a while. A live troll combined with a recording for some next level meta BS..... But 🤯 are you trying to overstimulate all your listeners with ADHD, autism, and we LARP-multitaskers??!? I think I tried to listen to both streams at the same time and my eyes were bouncing like I was in REM sleep! Might have had a seizure and I was only listening at 1X. Did those two streams double my time logged towards my 40HPW?! I hope you make a surprise appearance at Lake Satoshi 👀 🙏

Aw Max, my man, you aren't fucking stupid. You are like my British spirit animal. The UK non-FFC version of me who is also retarded and keeps telling people how much of an idiot and asshole you are and they keep nudging my shoulder like “aw don't say that! You are so smart and so nice!" And I just immediately think of the GIF I wish I could show them to explain how I actually feel ....

Did I really forget to boost last episode? I'm such a dick.... Free Samourai

Were you ever really gone?

Just for reminiscing, throw back…… 🇺🇸🟰🥇🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🟰💩

Thank you gentlemen

It was such a pleasure to meet you and your family, Jon! I was honored to give you and so many others a hug! Max, I’m not sure what to say other than you better fucking be there next year... If I have to buy you a plane ticket then so be it. How much are flights from Antarctica anyway? Thank you to everyone at Lake Satoshi - thank you especially to Mike and PF for all their efforts, I hope to actually meet them next year. One of my favorite conversations was with a lady who has known Mike for 20 something years and talks about how this type of event is just a normal Saturday for their friends and family. Not only is the PMM and Meshtadel my type of people but these Michiganders are my type of people too! - my kids will be talking about this their entire lives and are already so excited to go next year! I will do my best to arrive earlier than 1 o’clock in the morning next time!

I want a job earning sats to dig and fill holes!🤣😜🍄💪 🇺🇸 🟰 🥇

@npub1luwkteu2e… your daughter is an OG!!! Well done on raising a true G!

Thank you gentlemen

Episodes like this remind me of how retarded I am

I get so turned on thinking about coinjoin and privacy tech.

“Woo Girls” are hilarious... I love pointing out “Oh the woo girls are here” and someone in my group will ask me what that means? Then the other group says “WOOOOOOOO” and I just point ---> see, “woo” girls! Also, you are right, you shouldn’t tell me you’d read anything... Gettysburg address 🤣 I’m gonna get drunk and boost asking Jon to read War and Peace or Mandibles or Human Action

LFG!!!! @npub1luwkteu2e… doing pushups live on air!!! 💪💪💪💪💪🍄🍄🍄🫡🫡🫡

I agree with you Max on how many men are cunts when talking about their lady’s when with other guys. I would never disrespect my wife by doing that.💪💪💪

🫡💪🍄🇺🇸🟰🥇🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🟰💩

Now a message is required with all boosts!? Not just the sats!? Y'all are so needy! Didn't Max already tell us about his nasty cracked out feet?! Please don't make that one of the chapter art photos! Here’s some extra sats to ensure next month’s show is not “unsatisfactory” or “clunky” and to ensure the next show is “super poppy and funny and interesting.” Also I pulled up at the church and turned off my truck to hop out and pick up my child. Then I turn the truck back on and this episode just has Jon saying “NOW I GOTTA HAVE SEX WITH YOU!?" 🤦🤦🤦 Thankfully the windows were rolled up! 🤣🤣🤣

I almost got attacked by an osprey on a cell tower back when I a climber I threw a wrench at it and kept working

Scratch that… gfy from SE PA

Love you Jon…. 🦗🦗

Sweet EWF intro!

I appreciate listening to a podcast where I’ve given all three of y’all a hug! Keep up the good work gentlemen! Lol, Otis was the GIF of the guy who sees something, makes a face like “this might as well happen” and then unzip! 🤣

Last episode is the first I boosted and y'all can't get the boostes to work!? Lol WTF

The white Eddie Murphy!!! 🤣🤣🤣

@npub1luwkteu2e… Yoooo!!!!🫡🍄💪

Love the intro song!!!! 🤣🪩🕺

Max is a mining woo girl! 🤣 I had to go get some BarnJerky from the fridge after Jon eating jerky midroll ad read style. What can we do to ship some to Max?! Y’all keep up the good work gentlemen! Thanks for everything! 🫶 Also I wish I had listened to this 2 years ago when I started the pool heater build. I haven’t abandoned it yet... I’m still going to ignore the fact that I should have just bought a normal heater or should have run the numbers on anything. I want my pool heated with miners and I’ve gotta make it happen!

Great practical home mining advice, Jon. Well into my 3rd decade as a mechanical engineer (we are indeed getting old!), over engineering anything is a big pet peeve of mine and I beat that mental model into my teams. Gall’s Law comes to mind: always start simple and only add complexity once you have high confidence in the foundational design or setup. Ego has no place in a designer’s thinking if a system needs to ‘just work’. I also heat simply shunt any excess heat in my space with a thermostat controlled damper. As for Jack, the modular design is cool but unproven in the field.

Whenever @npub1luwkteu2e… is on I get hyped as fuck!Walking round my Construction job looking for a fight while laughing at the shit talk bout Pete the Cunt! 🤣

The homie @npub1luwkteu2e… back in trenches!!!! LFG!!!!🫡🍄💪

Max’s American voice is hilarious. I guess we’re all gay over here... 🤣 Nice articles and readings by SoulEx, Charles, (and Jon) - I need to read Charles' article and send it to my wife. She's a social worker at the local government school but about to go into private practice. Before that she worked for the state and has placed many kids in foster care. So many times her opinion is ignored and the state gets what they want. The foster parents are pretty good in our area though. But there are MANY who sign up across the county only with the goal to abuse kids. It's incredibly hard to figure out which ones are the bad ones unless the kids come forward to a therapist or social worker. But my wife's time is spent dealing with bureaucratic BS rather than being able to actually help the kids.

Max a CTO? I was mid coffee sip… I’ll be back after I clean this up.

👍🏻👍🏻

I'm on vacation. I might forget to boost so.....

It’s not a trap if I know I’m being trapped.

👍🏻👍🏻

It was so great to meet all of y’all and to see Fundamentals again! Thanks for the books! Otis - Thanks for the coffee! BitcoinAcct - Thanks for tossing a bag of freeze dried skittles to me on the last day too! I had a few on the plane ride home and they are delicious! My kids finished all the rest of them! Really enjoyed meeting all y’all and enjoyed the discussions throughout the day and late into the night with Karl too! See y’all next year! Somehow I forgot to grab a bag of beans from Otis... I appreciated the cups for me and for my wife, the coffee was delicious and I appreciated the V4V - I hope y’all earned enough!

Yo yo yo 🫡🍄💪

👀👀👀

Kerim’s soundboard just keeps getting better! I always enjoy a “That’s fine” thrown in the middle of the conversation and Jon’s voice saying “Fucking Parasites” was perfect! Good work, Kerim! Pay this man more to keep up the good work! Great conversation with Business Cat! I look forward to the 4-man confab and lots of “grumpy old man stuff"

Love the iso’s Max, lean into that

Yo yo yo 🫡🍄💪

Bullish!

I didn’t even realize Marty went on the Tom Woods Show until this - just listened to that episode after this one and came back here to boost. Good work sir! Y’all are some of the only people I listen to nearly daily on podcasts that I’ve traveled to go meet in person at a live event! Cool to hear y’all get together together! Also met Odell in Nashville too and got a drunken invite to the Park for the next day. 👀 I was the fat guy with the mustache but didn’t get to actually talk to Odell the next day. I think he forgot 🤣. Was a bit surreal with the security at the park, Harry welcomed us in, and Senator Lummis walked past me with her security mean-mugging me... lol - my wife and I left and went to the conference and Marty stopped us in the crowd to talk again. I still remember that and still appreciate it! Wish I had given a T’KEE but it didn’t cross my mind... Matt, do you still have your button/pin which says “I don’t wear pins” - thanks for indulging me in this long ass boost. V4V - Stay humble and stack sats!

👍🏻👍🏻

I’m really looking forward to hearing Jon’s rendition of “I’ve Been Everywhere” for all the possible places where Max lives now. Jon, I retract my entry into the giveaway. I was looking for a clamp on multimeter not one of Max’s used strap-on multi-dildos Note: that was the best rooster impression I’ve ever heard. Really, spot on, mate... But I didn't have any carefully selected quotes for this boost. I'll be sure to provide citations next time I hear one! Thanks for making me laugh and also for providing signal through all this noise! Hope to see y'all at Lake Satoshi. I'll be the FFC.

Jon your an OG like me. I’m old and beat up but still work circles around young bucs, and hit the gym for prison yard workouts 4 days a week. I can barely stand up and walk somedays, but we are WARRIORS….. we carry on and go at it!

Merry Christmas gentlemen! Hope you enjoyed some time with your families! I can't wait to hear all the stories and see this "show" growing more next year! Happy new year!

These past few episodes have been fantastic. Cheers guys, hope your Christmas was merry.

On my way into work, which I should’ve taken it off for Christmas Eve. But I agreed to come in for a half day for a crane pick, which is absolutely ridiculous that they even scheduled this for Christmas Eve but whatever I didn’t feel like punching anyone in the mouth from the job site yesterday. I’m fumbling around with my banana in my coffee. My lunchbox is not unzipping and I’m thinking to myself what the flying fuck am I doing?!! and then I hear Max and John coming over my speakers and I get a sense of calm over myself. Thank you you 2 retard for being yourselves. I forgot how nice it is hearing two retards as retarded as I am speaking about bitcoin and life. I truly appreciate you 2 retards and Jordan too. Merry Christmas, you fucking bloody cunts!!!

Merry Xmas 🫡🍳🥩🍄💪

Jon/Americans: Suppressing fagginess to save manliness Max/UK: “Open up” your buttholes Also Max: “i liked that bit” when SoulExporter spoke about his ass cheek

Maybe I’ll make it out to pubkey someday. Most of my free time is spent smoking blunts and working out. Last time I was in Brooklyn I was chasing a mother fucker around a Construction site with a shovel trying to kill him. That’s when I decided fuck NYC it was right before Covid which the communist like rules just sealed the deal for me to never cross the GW bridge ever again. I said I would never go to NYC ever again, not even for a wedding or a funeral and so far I’ve held to my word.

Btw I loved the 1 hour hard stop! Being that I listen on 2.0 speed I only had to wear my AirPods for 1/2 an hour this morning. Namaste 🙏

I’m an American and I’m spiritual and badass! You Brits are just whiny cunts! Just kidding Max. Your kind of badass too, the way you talk about kicking men in the balls. 🤣 🇺🇸🟰🥇🇬🇧🟰💩

16 hour drive is dedication! Only a badass American would do that! 🇺🇸🟰🥇🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🟰💩

Thank you gentlemen

Hello sir - Just came across your podcast recently. Listened to about 15-16 episodes all the way back to the FREE SAMOURAI! Episode. Anyway, keep up the good work sir! Here’s some V4V sats and for your contribution to my 40HPW. Just a quick stupid question: When you say “Circle P” what do you mean? I understand the idea of circular economy but ... P? Plebconomy?

Thank you sir

As technology gradually eats the world, both in life overall and in Bitcoin without basic math, logic, and technical knowledge you will always be a step behind and easier to con. Harsh lesson of 2025 as it was during the Bcash split.

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Missed boosting the last few episodes. Can't miss the Bugle show. Really appreciate all 4 of y'all! Keep up the good work, the good coffee, the good reporting, and the good discussion!

🫡🍳🥩🍄💪

I had to pause the pod after you mentioned jumping into a pool with a cold beer. I had to actually go do that! But then seriously considered my role here after listening to pleb miner in the wild (Jon, I hope to find a moment to send you a video reply soon). Keep up the good work gents!

Jon's mid-boost-read burp cracked me up. Just completely not expecting it and then buuurrrp 🤣

sssshhhheduled. Rugby. Stones. I can tell Max is harkoning back to his UK home world and having too few chats with Jon. I didn't even here a “zee" on this episode! 😔

🫡💪

Here's some sats. I hope this will help to hire someone who can run a live stream. Maybe we just host the next one on Microsoft Teams? 🤣

Thank you gentlemen

“Stag Weekend” sounds so gay. Q, you know I’m American.... But thanks for the attempt to obscure my identity. Anyway, FREE SAMOURAI

How can we film an MTV Cribs type show with Bitcoiner houses without doxxing locations or faces?!?! Can Home Assistant help with that?! I also used to have all these automated lights and quickly realized I didn’t want to deal with it or have it phoning home. For lights automation I’d much easier to install an analog option (motion sensor switch) on the wall to replace the manual switch. Like a bathroom occupancy switch which will turn on the lights for 30 minutes when you walk in... So unless you take a really long shit then the light and fan will turn off after you finish your business and leave. If you get stuck watching videos or doomscrolling then just a simple wave of the hand will turn it back on! I had this happen to me once in college where I was in a stall and the light turned off in the bathroom while I was in there and the sensor couldn’t see me... didn’t turn back on until the next person walked in and was surprised I was shitting in the dark. Or in my shed when I can’t get my fucking miners to work and I’m staring at the computer then the lights turn off so I typically use that as an indicator that I need another beer and walk over to trigger the lights again. (Sorry for the long boost on your hour-long show... I sent extra sats...)
