From Grumpy To Gleeful With Matt Odell | BTP Episode 23

The sun was absolutely more yellow when we were younger. Also look at photos from the 60s and 70s

🍻

Great pod. So glad this finally happened - i knew it would be a banger!

Saving grace is we'll know it's happening since the sun will get weird. Once the dark sun arrives, time to warlord.

👀👀👀

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

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.

@godsdeth (dr4kdr0u) 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.

🍻

Thank you gentlemen.

Greatest theme song ever made!

Let’s go!

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!

Great episode

Wow, I haven't heard a perfect strangers reference and many years. Bunch of boomers on this show 😁

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!!!! 🤣🪩🕺

🍄🍄🍄💪💪💪

Whoop whoop!

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.

Yo yo yo 🫡🍄💪

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

👍🏻👍🏻

Thank you gentleman

Took me too long to boost this. Thank you for documenting your journey.

“i can't imagine a time without you”👀 man, this episode started out real gay... Speaking of gay, eBay doesn't keep listings that long. Even if you still had the account it only goes back a few years. aaaaand now we are back to “my trousers got pulled down!" 🤣 Jon, come and visit me and fix my pool heater 🙏 JK but seriously bring back PMM! The whole month one! I can give away some of my broken machines to really deter new plebs from mining! 👀“I really like old head" 👀 “that’s my kink”👀 ...... y’all are fucked! Can't wait for Part Duex 🤣

Pleb miner month is how I first discovered you fools!!! LFG!!!🫡🍳🥩🍄💪

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!🤣😜🍄💪 🇺🇸 🟰 🥇

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

Thank you gentlemen

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

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

Thank you friends

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!

Thank you gentlemen

Another amazing inspiration. Keep building. Many thanks.

🎯 help you bring ideas into reality That's one thing I've struggled with, I've got lots of good ideas but I need assistance and assistants 🤭 to help me move forward to completion

What I would like to see more Nostr apps doing is hiding the fact that they are Nostr apps. Just obscure it away so normal people think it's a normal app, and not a power app. And let the features and usability make them a fan without them realizing it

Custom scripts for everybody! 🥳🥳

Ya there's definitely nothing wrong with waiting. 6 to 12 months from now it will be much more capable, and in order of magnitude easier to set up

I've been setting up mine to automatically log conversations. I've been feeding it all of my notes and business ideas. Everything gets automatically cataloged into obsidian. That obsidian vault is included in the QMD database for vector memory search. My agents have excellent short and long-term memory with minimal token usage. To set it up right, you really need to spend quite a while setting it up - or buy the files from somewhere. I've been setting up going on 3 weeks. It has already made me more productive. Soon my calendar will be synchronized. Client leads with automatically be filtered and surfaced front and center to me. The more you use something like this, the more you will start to understand how you can compound little abilities on top of each other. One cron job can trigger a cascade of events and work. I have used simplistic bots for many years. I used to have one that would pay my child support for me. That ran with no issues for about 5 years before they updated the site and broke my bot. I used to use another one for automatically populating descriptions and titles for an online store. At that time, I was replacing an employee with a simple bot. These things have been providing real value for people, for longer than people assume. Again it all comes down to how you use it and what you're doing with it. 6 to 12 months from now the landscape will be much different. Right now it's very hard to set up correctly and easy to burn money if you don't know what you're doing. But soon a lot of these things will be ironed out and much more normal people will be able to get higher value from it. On top of that, every time the models get better or cheaper, that means you can also upgrade your system to be smarter or cheaper.

I don't know who's spending $1,000 but you doing it wrong. I spent $15 in the past 3 weeks with more usage than I've ever had. It all depends on the model. But If they are also using it to do scraping and analyzing, it's not exactly simple work. And if you compare that to a human being doing the same work - that $1,000 is probably much cheaper than a human spending the time manually scraping and analyzing. I think I saw a graph recently saying that Claude opus outputs - in one prompt - between 5 and 15 hours of human work. Obviously that's not on every prompt, but that's pretty substantial even if it's expensive at a 30 cent API call, then maybe it's an extremely good deal. It's all very relative to what you're using it for and what your accomplishing in the end. Some of us have been playing with AI models for years already so we already know how to prompt better and we get better results. You've got to keep playing with different models - talk to them in different ways - and be explicit, try to remove ambiguity. And if you're having problems writing prompts - ask one AI to write a prompt for you to give to the other.. and that will often increase your chance of a one shot successful prompt

🍻

Thank you gentlemen

We need more Bitcoiner families present in the space.

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...

Thank you gentlemen. Boosting from the future

These stories are a true gift. Thank you Jon.

Wonderful story! Proud of you Jon and proud to have met you both through this wild last few years! Appreciate you both and everyone on your "team" at UM and everyone in the PMM! ♥️

Fundamentals is a suitcoiner now?! Lol I also enjoy wearing something that promotes people talking to you. I've found this ridiculous mustache also triggers conversation where someone may not otherwise talk to me. It's like an unspoken icebreaker.

Thank you gentleman

@npub1luwkteu2e… on 2 days in a row!!!! 🫡🍄💪

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!!!!🫡🍄💪

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...

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!!!

Brits eat SPAM?! Damn y'all are more like us rednecks than I thought! I've always referred to SPAM as “stuff posing as meat" but it's good if cooked correctly in some fried rice. Or Spam Masubi which is like sushi but with spam. I guess Hawaii is halfway between Southeast Asia and the rednecks in the Southern United States so it's a nice mix! Thanks for your explanation of the Knots vs.Core debate. I appreciate y'all as always!

The shows have gotten pretty gay and boring with out an American badass on as often…. Just saying. Too much Monero talk btw. 🫡💪
