In this episode, Average Gary and Fundamentals dive into the fascinating world of mathematics, exploring its critical role in understanding Bitcoin and cryptography. They begin by discussing the motivation behind learning math, especially in the context of Bitcoin, and why it is essential for achieving personal sovereignty and a deeper understanding of cryptographic principles. The hosts explore the common phrase "do the math" often heard in Bitcoin circles, unraveling the complexities behind it and emphasizing the importance of understanding the mathematical foundations of Bitcoin's protocol.

I would be honored to have myself and a few of my goons run security for yous twos! I can spot a trouble maker from a mile away! Bro I used to move hella coke at strips clubs back in the day! That was my bread and butter! I paid the price for my crimes, when I did my prison bid from getting popped at one! I even was given an apartment above one by the owner so I could have threesomes with strippers because I was the house dealer there! I been waiting for an opportunity to quite my Union gig! Don’t be playing with my emotions! My only request is that I can hire my best childhood friend when he gets out of prison in 2 or 3 years and that I’m paid in Bitcoin! LFG!!!!!

One of the most interesting episodes produced. The back and forth of the dialogue between npub1z9hy7a0n8zxnhgrcew2nnkr4sx6sum07exve99pqq30leujye3usgd858n and npub12eml5kmtrjmdt0h8shgg32gye5yqsf2jha6a70jrqt82q9d960sspky99g as they not so much argue, but try to break down their use of language to meet an understanding on the complex idea that is 'enlightment'. I found myself going back and forth agreeing with one speaker and then rapidly finding myself agreeing with the other. It's as if I had an understanding yet not exactly, but the purity of the desire for truth kept me constantly intrigued. This is an episode I would mark in npub1kqrddzzl6xng2wn0n0eyyjnf6smwmtp8m5atetzjw7vqyngwrphs4ye5xu's top five. I'll give it some time, but I plan to listen to this episode again. Sidenote: I loved Fundamental's use of examples such as Larry Bird and The Fountainhead sparked me up with joy.

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.

This was an excellent episode. I personally think I've been disappointed by some of the more recent episodes. It wasn't that they were bad in any way I can point out, but they just didn't have that magic that I listen to this podcast for. This episode made me have that same feeling that hooked me in when I started listening to RPB. I LOVED IT. There are some who bow down and answer the calls of men and their laws. Then there are great men who only bow down and answer the call of God.

Can you imagine what the world would look like if everyone had a mother like Jubilee. Good parents fixes this. Fundamentals jamming on Chemtrail Skies was truly special.
