Monitoring The Situation | Bugle Weekly Episode 65

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!

👍🏻👍🏻

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

Best border wallet and password manager backup technology and strategies ?? 👍🏻👍🏻

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

FREE SAMOURAI

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

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 ....

Free samourai and ninjas

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

Were you ever really gone?

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

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!

Gravel-voice Max > AI Max

Intriguing new device 👍🏻

Barnminer needs to make hotter jerky. The mild is a waste of time. Max, wtf is jout fraisi!?! Oh ...... After multiple attempts to google it I see it's Jalfrezi... never heard of her.

👍🏻⚡️

👍🏻👍🏻

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!

In my profession dealing with bureaucrats.... I love when people talk about something they did that "got them in trouble“ with the local boot lickers. Half my job is designing shit in AutoCAD and half is dealing with bureaucrats and I honestly don't know which one I love/hate more .... But I have found my neighborhood superpower is when I get a referral to a new neighbor and then I can go into the planning department and gaslight them into giving my new neighbor a permit. Sometimes it's not worth the fight but just convincing the people in charge that you cannot be governed is worth it whether they realize it or not.....

“Close enough for government work" has always been the saying I've heard. The alternative is..... (Max please read this part with your best accent for someone from Alabama) “we ain't building no damn piano!"

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.

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!

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?

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)

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

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

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? 🤣

“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

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...

#freesamourai

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

Apparently I can't keep my boost cadence with the new weekly releases! Thank you for providing the news and the entertainment for me on a weekly basis!

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?

🐤🌸🌈 keep up the good work boys!

Bitcoin Bugle pioneering into the world of British Bitcoin Podcasters (BBP) - Good work Mr. Greaser! #40HPW

I thought a “wanky watch" was when a brit sits down to watch a little porn!? 😬🤣😬 But in all seriousness,over the past few years I've toned down how much I talk to my friends about Bitcoin. I've realized that the risk is too high for what reward? That they buy Bitcoin? I realized it when someone new moved to the neighborhood and one of my good friends at a cookout said “oh yeah! He has a bunch of Bitcoin"..... First I was like “lower your voice" then very honestly said to him and this new guy “I just heard about it in 2020, I certainly don't have very much" which is completely true. But you never know. That little statement gets mentioned to a few more people and someone raids my house in the middle of the night for 10 BTC which a don't have. They might still threaten my family only to find out I have like 100,000 sats on a hot wallet......... Similarly, I wanna teach my kids about sound money but also have to teach them about privacy too so they don't go telling their random P.E. coach or some kid on the bus who knows where we live that “yeah my dad has a lot of Bitcoin!" (Sorry for the long boost, I sent extra sats) 🤣

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

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!

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...)

👍🏻🧐

Keep up the good work my friends! Thank you!

There are days that I feel like a squawking fucking mongoloid... Screeching into the ether with nonsense. I've just never been able to articulate it as well as Max just did!

Great conversation!

👍🏻🫡

I feel so bad we aren't coming to LS this year! I'm going to miss out on all these connections but have to keep telling myself my family comes first and bringing my whole clan was just not possible this time. Y'all have a wonderful time! Y'all's discussions about these opportunities to contribute are so hard at such a distance! I'll really miss the chance to maybe be part of a podcast episode! Y'all give each other plenty of hugs since I won't be there to do so myself! I feel the same way Phundamentals does about events being over. It's a psychological condition and sometimes I feel like I build up so excitement for events that I don't even actually enjoy the event itself! Y'all lock in and focus on the moment. You are correct that once it's gone, it's gone forever...
