Rising Above Slop | Bugle Weekly Episode 84

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! 😔

Well I ain't much of a pleb miners, hell I ain't even a miner. But I am a great cheerleader, and sometimes I even wear the outfit when I'm feeling frisky. I love to hear about the real "you can just do things" and they are actually doing things. Beyond that while Max is in Montana being a dental floss tycoon, doing things.🤘🤠 As usual my morning was made. Not that it takes much to make my morning. Me and the dogs listening on the front porch. Waylon and Willie approve. Btw don't ride for hours in the desert without ample water. You'll see a horse in the desert with no name.

Thank you, Max! #PARDONSAMOURAI Also I want to take a moment and point out that in exchange for horrible UI/UX.... Fountain app took a total of 5,000 sats from this donation to Bill's family. When TF did they start taking fees on top of the splits!?!!?!

Swepted up in the madness and stupidity. Nothing makes sense at all.

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!

Fuck I almost forgot the Dear Bubba moment. Jon you played the great straight man in our impromptu comedy dou

Great recap Jon. More thorough than mine of course. Max the goldwing is a 95, 30 years old it was $2800. Wish you were there ya fuckin cunt. Jon don't forget I took your youngest, crazy one on her first motorcycle ride. She loved it. Especially when I goosed the throttle and fishtailed it a bit.her scream of joy said it all. I will be at the lake every year. Probably gonna buy an old class c RV and drive again.this old man can't camp on the ground. Highlight of my cross country trip.

Work hard and quit acting like a bitch when no one trust you to do what you say

Man that article hit home with me. "The revolution can't find the tv" very well written. I wish I could do that but I like saying "fuck you faggots" way to much. As far as larping it seems to be a sport these days. And none of them are Larry Bird. I'm a selfish bastard, I only care about my family and friends the rest of this world can fuck off. Max you could listen to "two angry cunts". Never larp and sometimes funny. See y'all at the lake cold beer and smokes mostly for health purposes. "Too be a good patriot, you must become an enemy of humankind" Voltaire So be a bad patriot except to those close to you.

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...

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!

Another great show in the books boys.lisyened while traversing the rocky mountains with a half cow on ice in the back. Got it from Jason Wrick at Wrick ranches in Crawford colorado. Paid in Bitcoin. So I think I did it right ? What a beautiful ranch in the mountains. Hey Jon since you're Max's dad if you want I'll be yours. So hey son get me a fucking beer I wanna tell ya something. Keep me in mind I'm available. And Max chickens are easy they eat anything. And if there is a slow day with eggs you can do what I do with ours. I whisper sweet as I can to them. Bitches I'm gonna like eating you. It works every time. Ok boys fuck off until next time.

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.

Whose the fastest runner in Bitcoin? Will David Hudman win the next Bitcoin Race? He won the last 3. Predict the outcome on Predyx! Hope to see you at the next Sunset Circuit on Jax Beach Jan 11th. 400 meter race & kickball game Winner gets btc on a cold card Pre race pump up recorded by the Bitcoin Bugle guys Bring old clothes to trade or donate to the homeless

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!

👍🏻👍🏻

Big Dick pioneer. Good show Dan.

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

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

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

🐤🌸🌈 keep up the good work boys!

👍🏻👍🏻 Krux is amazing

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) 🤣

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

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!

John McAfee 🐳🐳

I think the other Jon should read one! Or I can read one? Regardless, thank you for doing this! #PARDONSAMOURAI

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.

I have done 2 spit takes with my coffee this morn and only 30min in. And the dogs are licking up the coffee and mucus. It's a beautiful day. Max you are such a a bully. In a very English sorta way. Which means we American say " what are you saying man". But good on ya. Jon that impression of the old man me regurgitating old man shit is so fucking funny. Sincerely Dear Bubba Btw.... Fight the gayness. It's so gay

👍🏻👍🏻

Chicken chow meow!

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!

Prepare to be unprepared it takes works. Like dressing trashy takes a lot of money. Act a fool as much as possible. It's refreshing. Eat drink and be merry. Merry Christmas to all you ungovernable retarded misfits. And go ahead and have a happy new year. Love almost everyone(some are undeserving) let them know. Smoke'em if ya got'em

I hate that this brain rot has gotten into my Bitcoin Podcasts! Max is taking notes so he can sound cool with his friends in the Shetlands!

Excuse me I gotta take a selfie for my male fag worship engagement. I never knew how simple it all really is. I really love you guys. But then I got nothing else to do. 67 bro's

Sorry I have a stutter. Or turrets. I think I found the downs Bro.

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?

👍🏻🫡

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 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 🤣

Wallow wallow wallow. The never ending saga of self without reflection. I hear chicks dig it. I never likedthe word pleb, too similar to pledge, like in a fraternity. And fraternities are good for one thing. Weekend parties with free beer. I was a legacy pledge my one glorious year college, and I still got kicked out, my older brother got me in and couldn't believe I didn't take it serious. Anyway I see Bitcoin and mining as the wild wild West. Instead of pioneer, let's be cowboys. Independent don't give a fuck do the job that needs to be done and grab the fair maidens. Yeah I think cowboys is better than pioneers. My 2 cents, that's what it's worth, and with inflation it's worth nothing. God damn shitty life and sentimental Kodak commercials still make me cry. Onward ho Christian soldiers

Dammit back again for another boost. Feel compelled to chime in that Bass Load does give good hugs! And then Fundamentals was very jealous so I went for a full bear hug for him after he complained. Not sure if he wanted the full bear hug but he got it from my fat ass! (I had to stop half way through typing this boost to laugh at this fucking Avaron ad read!)

Back to boost again just because of that Hash Sluts commercial!

Sorry, but I bought Otis’ coffee and then we ground it up in an Amazon Basics grinder. Put it in a reusable K-Cup and still enjoyed it! It's so good! “Don’t let perfection be the enemy of good” Max! I was just about to send 25k sats and the Dary called me a dumbass 🤣 so I cut it down to 10k 🖕

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...)

👍🏻🧐

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!

Just saying hey too let you know what I'm thinking. Well I am not. I find it leads to stress and unhappiness. If anything I'm thinking about doing something to get downs syndrome. The happiness they exude is contagious and damn it I want some. So if y'all know of anyway to reach the "downes" I would appreciate the help. Other than that I got nothing. Nothing is good.

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! ♥️

Hard work is the only work that counts. Very little computer. But lots of mechanical technology. This is what matters

Great show! Stay Ungovernable! 💯

Listening to this now and realizing that I completely missed number 70. ... can confirm Fountain chapters don't work for shit. I was scrolling through the boost section to listen again for my boost and it was all news info. Gonna go listen to 70 now! Keep up the good work gents and keep your chins held high! Pardon samurai!!!

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...
