Awesome episode.
No dicks in ass 🫡
Clunk Clunk, nukka 🍻
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
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!
@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.

Y'all we're up on the hill so often I didn't even see Debbie Tammy
Jon's children didn't test me on my math skills this year 🤣 last year they put me in school and gave me math tests...😑🤔 Pretty sure Jon had something to do with it haha
Unofficial, official count 400 to 450 attendees
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!🤣😜🍄💪 🇺🇸 🟰 🥇

Excellent rip! Had a blast with you guys! Definitely something spiritual going on at Lake Satoshi. I hope to see that energy spreading to other meetups and areas
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!

Refreshing to hear Jon speak about trusting in God. Harder to do than it sounds, but extremely rewarding ❤️🔥🥳
Have you tried beef Tallow moisturizer on your feet? I have been using it on my feet and they look like a teenager feet again, just slather it on and put your socks on and leave it
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! 🤣🤣🤣

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

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!

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...)
Raspberry Pis are little pieces of shit, but they are fantastic for some use cases. I have some that have been running for many years consistently with no problems. It really depends on what you're trying to do with it. For always on, lightweight servers, they are fantastic. I think I currently have six that are on in another six that are currently powered off
I really like the format of this show and how it is listener-driven. Tons of great information in these shows. Zigbee is something I need to look into more. Home Assistant has been on my automation to do list for a while. One of these years I'll get around to playing with it LOL

Thanks dudes!
Great Star Wars discussion! I never read the books (surprisingly) but collected the cards, played the games, and fairly recently caught up on all the old shows like Clone Wars, Rebels, Resistance and Bad Batch. Generally enjoy them all but Clone Wars likely the most. I'm a huge fan of Andor and Rogue One.
I'll have to check out Picard Season 3 because I tried season 1 and can't remember if I even finished it. Never ever considered watching season 2...

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.

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.

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! 😔

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!

“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

Max, you better come visit us in the “land of the free” one day to experience our form of freedom which always involves guns whether you like it or not.
The shows have gotten pretty gay and boring with out an American badass on as often…. Just saying. Too much Monero talk btw.

20 years ago I took a plea deal for 4-8 years instead of risking the 10-20 years they wanted to give me. If I didn’t have kids I would of went to trial.

Demanding 600 Bitcoin after you stole all of someone’s money is utterly insane
Bro WTF? Everything about their theft is uncommon compared to white hat. You can’t steal and then extort, that isn’t how white hat works. There’s an inherent power balance where you’re “negotiating” with your victim of whom you stole their money. If I break into your house and steal all your shit, will you feel all good if I offer to give most back?

Nice conversation! I swear one of my biggest fears is someone breaking into my house when I'm passed out and catching me off guard. It's one thing to have guns but another thing to get caught in your undies in the middle of the night. Or thinking how your children are closer to the front door than you. But at least if some thug breaks in I can shoot him. But if the government boots show up for some reason then I just have to put my hands up and pray I don't get shot....

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 ....
