29
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:19,400

Good question actually. 

30
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:23,080
Oh man, this guy fucking kills

00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:25,520
Anyways, I had way too much food
last night. 

32
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:28,520
That's what I did. 
I had way too much food last 

33
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:31,040
night on my end, but it was 
really good and quite a bit of 

34
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:32,040
wine. 
But it feels good.

know, everyone's trading, 

76
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,400

I yeah had a had a pretty chill 
Valentine's Day yesterday. 

79
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:23,200
Took the wife kids and the mom 
out for dinner and then had to 

80
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:26,080
do a little prep for a board 
meeting that we have today. 

81
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:29,760
But but everything's good man. 
Everything's good in Doodles 

82
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:32,320
Doodles World. 
We're you know, we're we're 

83
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:34,920
cooking right now. 
Things you know things are 

84
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:36,520
starting to turn I think for the
better. 

85
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:39,680
It, it feels, feels very good 
going into this next chapter. 

86
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:43,240
OK listen but I mean we may as 
well then dive right into that a

87
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:45,320
board meeting sounds big. 
You know if you want to give us 

88
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:47,680
a little alpha was that could be
a pre board meeting if you want 

89
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:49,720
with the people you know we got,
we're about to show the 

90
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:51,240
broadcasting. 
We are live on video by the way 

91
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:53,600
Julian is on on the stream with 
us for everybody. 

92
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:56,000
So you can find us on X 
broadcast we post on at formal 

93
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,160
our page on Rock Radio, Twitter,
YouTube. 

94
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:01,080
Sorry, I'm about to post it 
myself, Etcetera, etcetera. 

95
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:03,800
But you know, why won't we have 
a pre board meeting here, 

96
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:05,520
Julian? 
So this is officially the 

97
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:08,760
Doodles pre board meeting with 
OSF. 

98
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:13,200
You know Rook and Mando on FOMO 
hour on your very own rug radio.

99
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:15,160
So. 
So Julian, why are things going 

100
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:16,519
so well right now? 
What's the what's the latest, 

101
00:04:16,519 --> 00:04:18,720
Dude, I saw the G shock, which 
by the way, I'm I'm gonna need 

102
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:21,480
one of those. 
And then you know I always see 

103
00:04:21,519 --> 00:04:24,600
whoop. 
Hold on, I saw the Crocs collab,

104
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,400
which, which was actually pretty
cool, heard some stats on that. 

105
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:29,200
I can't wait to dive into that 
with you and everything, but 

106
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:31,000
how's we what? 
What's going on in the world of 

107
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:32,320
doodles? 
Why are things so good right 

108
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:35,920
now? 
You know, I think we did a lot 

109
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:39,480
of self reflection last year. 
We did a lot of reorganizing 

110
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:43,920
internally. 
We we tried to really listen to 

111
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:46,880
a lot of the feedback that we 
were getting and really kind of 

112
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:49,320
like reflect on what happened, 
right. 

113
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:54,120
Because sure it would be easy to
just blame a bear market and 

114
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:57,200
everything is down. 
But there were clearly certain 

115
00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:00,800
cases that you know and it like 
clearly certain cases in this 

116
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,840
space that you know ended up 
thriving in the bear market. 

117
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:09,520
And we we knew that the the 
trend down for doodles was never

118
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:11,880
really about the amount of work 
that we were putting in. 

119
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:17,680
I think it was our inability to 
show up for the community in a 

120
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:22,400
way that they really wanted from
us in in pretty difficult and 

121
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:26,720
scary times. 
And when you're not doing that 

122
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:30,440
and you're not contextualizing 
sufficiently like why we're 

123
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:33,600
making the moves that we're 
making and how this is going to 

124
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,880
benefit the project and how you 
know this is going to take us to

125
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:40,320
where we all want to go. 
You know I think you start to 

126
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:43,200
erode a lot of trust and when 
you lose trust in a community 

127
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:45,640
that's it like there's there's 
nothing left. 

128
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:49,320
So we, you know we did a lot of 
looking in the mirror. 

129
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:54,560
We did a lot of reorganizing And
you know since last summer, you 

130
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:58,040
know a little after we made an 
extremely conscious effort to 

131
00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:00,880
turn that around and really make
the community feel like they're 

132
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:02,760
part of this. 
Because they are really 

133
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:05,360
contextualize the moves that 
we're making really try and make

134
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:08,840
sense of the ecosystem that 
we're building and and really 

135
00:06:08,840 --> 00:06:10,880
show up. 
Like I think one of the things 

136
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:15,800
that I, I had a harder time with
when I came from Billboard here,

137
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:20,040
like I'd always been used to 
scrutiny from investors, from 

138
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:24,560
music fans, from, you know, all 
sorts of constituents. 

139
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:31,640
But the the scrutiny in Web 
Three is real and not like it. 

140
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:34,680
It's not unjustified, right. 
And I just didn't really give 

141
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:37,720
enough credit to like how much 
you really needed to be in it. 

142
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:42,720
It wasn't like my my view on 
work in like and it served me 

143
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:46,440
well in my career is just put 
your damn head down work and let

144
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:52,320
the results speak for itself. 
And that works to an extent but 

145
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,600
not if you're going to lose the 
trust of the people that are 

146
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:59,400
supporting you. 
And and that I think I I really,

147
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:02,360
I don't want to say like I 
didn't understand it. 

148
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:05,760
I just didn't realize like just 
how important it was that I 

149
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:09,760
showed up, that the team showed 
up and like how our messaging 

150
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:12,360
really needed to come through. 
And I feel like we've done a 

151
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:14,280
really good job of turning that 
around. 

152
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:17,400
And you know, and ultimately, 
like clearly defining the 

153
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:20,680
vision, contextualizing the 
moves that we're making and not 

154
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:24,680
just putting up like wins that 
seem flashy, but like, no, every

155
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:27,720
move that we make is a step 
closer to this end goal. 

156
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:30,480
And you know, and that that's 
what we're working on, man. 

157
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:34,000
That's fair. 
I honestly, I think that's some 

158
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:36,200
pretty good soft reflection. 
I mean what what did we we had 

159
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:38,640
Julian boys like we had Julian 
on before the the big sale 

160
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:41,520
there. 
I remember the the boxes. 

161
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:44,240
I think that's when you last 
came on the show and obviously 

162
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:46,080
there's been a lot of stuff that
happened since, right? 

163
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:48,160
There was like obviously the 
criticism on the Silence for 

164
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:51,200
like a month Ish on social, 
obviously the big Florida and 

165
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:54,160
get the fuck out moment which 
that's at this stage this is 

166
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:55,400
like lore. 
So that's. 

167
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:59,960
A classic NFT moment though. 
I think it's it's it's iconic. 

168
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:03,160
Yeah, it's like Tropo telling 
fucking Gordon telling Tropo to 

169
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:05,880
fucking figure it out himself 
and go build an NFT company. 

170
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,720
You know it's like those moments
are like the similar is you 

171
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:12,520
know, you know the big like that
and and so I actually appreciate

172
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:14,760
that when you say the self 
reflection like what we did, we 

173
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:17,960
did wrong and like how we can 
fix that and it seems like 

174
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:20,560
you're doing a lot of that. 
How is the how is everything on 

175
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:22,160
the Golden Wolf side. 
It's funny because we were 

176
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:24,920
talking about you guys obviously
your floor went out like 3X 

177
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:26,360
whatever and we're not here to 
talk floor price. 

178
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:29,560
But naturally we talked about on
the show because of Daily News 

179
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:32,600
and and market reports and Mando
was mentioning that you know, 

180
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:34,880
the most interesting, one of the
most interesting part of you 

181
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:37,320
guys, what you got going on 
right now is Golden Wolf, right?

182
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:40,559
Like this is a solid revenue 
stream in a big studio which 

183
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:42,080
allows you to do a ton of 
different shit. 

184
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:44,440
I remember talking about how you
guys did AI think something for 

185
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:48,080
Moonbirds even, right? 
They used to or for trailer or 

186
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:51,040
something last year, but how 
How's it going on that front? 

187
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:52,320
How's the studio side of things 
going? 

188
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:55,120
It's it's great man. 
And and by the way, like, just 

189
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:57,760
to quickly touch on like, you 
know, the floor didn't get the 

190
00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:00,960
fuck out like it was. 
How's that behind the scenes? 

191
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:04,320
Like, look, that was. 
It was tough, right? 

192
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:06,600
Like it was, it was tough in the
moment. 

193
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:10,360
Everybody drafted off of it, 
like, and it became a really big

194
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:14,760
meme for all the wrong reasons. 
And the way it was communicated,

195
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:18,320
the time it was communicated was
obviously not the right way to 

196
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:20,600
do it. 
But at the end of the day, like,

197
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:24,080
what was trying to be 
communicated was like, no, we're

198
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:28,880
not just an NFT project anymore.
And if you have any hope for 

199
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:32,720
your bags, you better pray that 
all of your NFT projects become 

200
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:36,040
not just an NFT project anymore.
And that's the whole vibe, 

201
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:38,280
right? 
Like, Harry Potter is not just a

202
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:40,800
book. 
Marvel is not just a comic book 

203
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:43,560
franchise. 
Like Barbie is not just toys. 

204
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:46,440
And at the end of the day, 
there's so much more than that. 

205
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:48,680
And like, I think people really 
understood that. 

206
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:52,160
But because of, like that trust 
that eroded for such a long 

207
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:53,600
time. 
And like that moment that we 

208
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:56,800
were in, like that was just the 
best opportunity in the world to

209
00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,360
dunk on doodles. 
I think it will go down in 

210
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:03,400
history as like kind of like 
that that moment you were 

211
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:05,680
talking about with Tropo and and
Gordon. 

212
00:10:05,680 --> 00:10:09,800
But but anyway, like and and it 
and it does, it dovetails into 

213
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:13,720
what we're going to talk about 
in Golden Wolf in that when we 

214
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:17,160
acquired Golden Wolf, like the 
reason behind that was when I 

215
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:20,760
got to the company, the first 
thing that I worked on was 

216
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:23,560
trying to create business 
development opportunities for us

217
00:10:23,560 --> 00:10:26,640
to actually bring our content to
the world with the biggest 

218
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:28,880
players. 
So we brought Pharrell in 

219
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:32,240
obviously pretty quickly. 
And then right after that, he 

220
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:36,440
and I specifically got to work 
on, OK, let's go get a Hollywood

221
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:39,920
studio to adapt our IP for 
television or movies. 

222
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:41,600
So we started doing all those 
meetings. 

223
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:44,920
We met with the biggest players 
you could imagine, the biggest 

224
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:49,040
players in animation, and we got
really far with a lot of them. 

225
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:53,920
And at one point, it became so 
clear we were not going to get 

226
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:56,720
the attention and the support 
that they're going to give their

227
00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:59,440
own IP. 
And because we're not Barbie and

228
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:02,040
we're not Super Mario, they're 
very interested in this new 

229
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:03,840
technology. 
They're very interested in this 

230
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:07,040
culture that exists on Chain and
in Web 3. 

231
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:09,800
But they didn't understand it 
and they were. 

232
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:13,360
They were not going to give us 
the amount of attention that we 

233
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:15,560
would have needed and what we 
owe our community. 

234
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:19,320
So we had to pivot quickly and 
we just weren't getting the 

235
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:22,760
deals that we wanted to. 
So we had to pivot quickly. 

236
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:26,560
And pivoting meant we're either 
going to build our own team to 

237
00:11:26,560 --> 00:11:29,360
create our own content because 
that's what it meant at the end 

238
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:32,080
of the day, like someone's going
to create content for us, or 

239
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:33,680
we're going to create our own 
content. 

240
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:39,400
And the idea of building a team 
that would then be able to 

241
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:42,680
create the amount of content 
that we knew we needed to, to 

242
00:11:42,680 --> 00:11:45,120
stay relevant in the world that 
we're living in today. 

243
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:48,080
Like there's a lot of volume 
right now. 

244
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:52,680
It it just became like really 
jarring to look down that hole. 

245
00:11:52,680 --> 00:11:55,400
So we had just had this awesome 
experience with Golden Wolf. 

246
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:59,760
They happened to be at this 
opportune time of wanting to 

247
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:01,920
grow but not having the 
resources to. 

248
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:07,120
So Inggy and I met Scott and I 
talked and we were like let's do

249
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:10,600
this man, like let's actually 
acquire them and and not rely on

250
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:14,480
anybody to tell us what content 
we make, how we distribute it 

251
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:18,200
and how we go to market. 
So we got that deal done early 

252
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:25,480
early in 2023 and it took a 
while to get the paperwork done.

253
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:28,760
It took a while to integrate the
staff and like they really got 

254
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:34,280
running in August of last year. 
And the significance of that 

255
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:38,560
deal is there's a few key points
to think about. 

256
00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:41,880
One, they work with the biggest 
IP in the world. 

257
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:44,160
They work with Disney, they work
with Epic Games, they work with 

258
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:46,920
Nike, they work with Paramount. 
Like they had spots running in 

259
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:49,440
the Super Bowl, like, they're as
good as it gets. 

260
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:54,360
Short form video is the number 
one most consumed format of 

261
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:58,680
content in the world right now. 
They have built their company 

262
00:12:58,680 --> 00:13:02,320
throughout the last 15 years on 
creating short form advertising,

263
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:06,480
6 second ads, 32nd ads, 92nd ads
etcetera for the biggest 

264
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:10,560
companies in the world. 
They are also now incubating 

265
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:13,640
next Gen. 
IP and brand development through

266
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:16,480
doodles. 
So we get learnings from what 

267
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:20,440
they're being tasked with from 
their clients and their clients 

268
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:24,280
get learnings from what they're 
developing with doodles, new 

269
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:27,080
ways to build brands, new ways 
to create content. 

270
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:31,240
And now we completely control 
our content pipeline. 

271
00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:34,920
No one can tell us, hey, you 
need to wait until you have this

272
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:38,640
to make ATV show you need. 
That is freedom. 

273
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:42,120
And the quality that we can 
create and the pace at which we 

274
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:46,000
can create it is unprecedented 
in our space right now. 

275
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:48,760
And I feel like people are just 
going to really start 

276
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:52,000
understanding that this year 
when they see the sheer output 

277
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:54,960
of what's on the timeline and 
the quality of what's on the 

278
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:57,120
timeline. 
So that I know it was a little 

279
00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:59,440
long winded, but I think I think
I covered it okay. 

280
00:13:59,880 --> 00:14:02,320
No you no that's that's great. 
I mean look like we're we're 

281
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:04,720
media so like totally get that 
and totally understand like the 

282
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:06,960
importance of like short form 
content and actually we were 

283
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:09,160
talking about short form 
digestible content yesterday OV 

284
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:14,240
but it's it's I totally get that
it's so big like the acquisition

285
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:16,200
over there was big so anyway so 
the big stuff right I just. 

286
00:14:16,560 --> 00:14:18,560
Wanted to delve into that 
slightly because I think it's an

287
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:21,120
important thing to to to to 
linger on. 

288
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:24,200
Like how much would you say like
as a short form piece of content

289
00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:27,080
as that sort of quality you'd 
have to give like maybe specific

290
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:30,520
figures, but if you wanted to 
have like a a 32nd to one minute

291
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:33,440
long video by one of these 
creators, like what is the cost 

292
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:36,560
of that for like your your other
NFT project? 

293
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:40,080
Yeah, like, OK. 
So if you were going to work 

294
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:44,080
with a with a Golden Wolf or a 
competitor like Golden Wolf to 

295
00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:47,360
get like, there's also 
differences in the style of 

296
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:51,360
animation which add to the cost.
But in order to get like the 

297
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:54,480
really highly produced, like the
stuff that you would see on 

298
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:59,560
broadcast, you're talking for 
like 60 seconds. 

299
00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:05,200
You know, anywhere from 300 to 
400, maybe $250,000. 

300
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:06,800
Yeah. 
Like it's. 

301
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:09,480
Yeah. 
And it really also just depends 

302
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:13,200
on like how complicated the spot
is, like how many different 

303
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:17,320
frames you have to animate, like
how much of backlogged content 

304
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:19,920
that you can repurpose for the 
next time. 

305
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:23,000
So. 
But like you're talking 

306
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:29,480
significant 6 figures for for 
minutes, not you know, not hours

307
00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:33,200
or you know 10s of minutes. 
And how how many projects are 

308
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:34,680
you? 
Is the team like generally 

309
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:37,560
working on like per week or per 
month? 

310
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:39,560
This is something that you do 
work like just like a two or 

311
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:42,280
three month. 
Yeah. 

312
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:45,000
No, I mean. 
This sounds, I think it's crazy 

313
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:47,840
business to get into and I think
like it's clearly going to 

314
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:49,640
revolutionize the whole of 
doodles and I think it's 

315
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:50,880
important to kind of get into 
some of. 

316
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:52,560
That, but this is the angle. 
But I think most people also 

317
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:53,880
don't think about on the 
timeline. 

318
00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:55,680
So Julian, that's actually 
pretty interesting, but please 

319
00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:58,040
feel free to don't have to go in
extra details, but we. 

320
00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:00,040
Like, no. 
But yeah, I mean it's like we 

321
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:02,200
try and not spread ourselves too
thin. 

322
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:04,720
Like we don't take on every 
single project that we get. 

323
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:07,440
Like it either has to be that's 
the qualifier, one of two 

324
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:09,400
things. 
One like the money is just 

325
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:12,920
impossible to ignore or it's a 
really good brand look. 

326
00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:16,560
So like we actually did 90 
seconds of animation for a movie

327
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:19,640
called The Monkey King on 
Netflix and it was a number one 

328
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:23,520
movie on Netflix. 
And you know, that didn't pay as

329
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:25,840
well as some of the big brand 
spots that we do. 

330
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:30,600
But it was a really good look to
be credited on that movie 

331
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:32,880
because it had such a big 
marketing budget behind it. 

332
00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:35,400
It was like a really, you know, 
it was a really touted and 

333
00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:42,200
promoted project, but we try and
keep it to like 20-30 projects a

334
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:45,320
year to make sure like we're 
really managing it the right 

335
00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:47,240
way. 
But we're actually going to be 

336
00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:50,880
investing in Golden Wolf to do 
more work and do different types

337
00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:53,960
of work because of what they're 
doing for doodles right now. 

338
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:57,280
You know, they're doing all of 
our product animations, they're 

339
00:16:57,280 --> 00:17:00,720
doing all of our social 
animations, they're doing all of

340
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:04,200
the unboxing videos, the live 
action stuff, like literally 

341
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:07,520
every bit of the pipeline, the 
web design, everything. 

342
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:11,040
We're going to be taking that 
skill set, brand identity 

343
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:14,720
consulting for IP development 
and actually bringing that to 

344
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:16,920
companies now. 
So it's not just like the 

345
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:19,920
technical production side of 
content development. 

346
00:17:20,079 --> 00:17:23,400
Strategy and execution is going 
to be a big part of it moving 

347
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:25,880
forward as well. 
Yeah, I mean, I think it's a 

348
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:30,320
huge thing. 
That's what Moonpay did, right? 

349
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:32,920
They bought, they bought out a 
firm. 

350
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:36,440
Night shift. 
Yeah, the new name of them, but 

351
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:37,960
yeah, oh the old name is Night 
Shift. 

352
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:42,440
But yeah it's it's crazy how how
much demand there is and we even

353
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:44,880
know from rec guy like when we 
have these conversations that 

354
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:49,280
that you're kind of beholden to 
just a very small number of high

355
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:52,800
quality firms in the in the 
industry that that that are, I 

356
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:55,480
don't know relevant in the NFT 
space or know the NFT space 

357
00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:57,840
quite well. 
Well, and and to that, I think 

358
00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:01,040
it's such an interesting point 
because like everybody was an 

359
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:06,120
expert in 2021 and 2022 and like
so many of these big 

360
00:18:06,120 --> 00:18:09,400
corporations got burned working 
with people that actually had no

361
00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:12,120
idea what they were doing, 
weren't capitalized the right 

362
00:18:12,120 --> 00:18:13,960
way, didn't know how to manage 
funds. 

363
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:18,080
And when you look at the pool of
people you can like truly take 

364
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:20,960
seriously and and have a 
credible voice in this space, 

365
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:24,080
like there's not like there's 
probably a handful, right. 

366
00:18:24,360 --> 00:18:28,840
And I'd say that the people that
have survived and really have 

367
00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:32,320
exercised like good business 
practice and like cultivated the

368
00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:35,760
right environment and ecosystem,
they're going to be able to go 

369
00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:38,320
into these big companies in this
next cycle because all of them 

370
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:40,480
are going to come back like 
first of all, none of them 

371
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:42,280
actually left. 
They're all still developing 

372
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:44,880
like our brand partnerships are 
kind of proof of that. 

373
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:50,560
But the like when people do come
back, the people that have been 

374
00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:54,080
able to like tell stories and 
keep narratives up and create 

375
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:57,720
real life value and like real 
life utility, I think those 

376
00:18:57,720 --> 00:18:59,920
people are going to, you know 
that's going to be where like 

377
00:18:59,920 --> 00:19:03,280
the big business gravitates to. 
So it's yeah, it's a, it's a 

378
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:06,680
it's a really interesting time 
for that and I feel very 

379
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:08,960
fortunate that we're positioned 
how we are right now. 

380
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:11,520
Yeah. 
Fuck your position really well 

381
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:13,080
for that that's a that's a 
really good question. 

382
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:16,360
So let's let's dive into the the
Doodle studio right. 

383
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:19,560
That that what, what what's what
exactly is that? 

384
00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:21,760
Because that was that was the 
latest news that came out of the

385
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:24,440
doodles camp right. 
Yeah, yeah. 

386
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:29,720
So we, we launched our new web 
app that's inclusive of our 

387
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:33,200
character creator. 
You know, it's where our avatar 

388
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:35,440
system is. 
It's where our wearable system 

389
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:39,800
is, you know, It's where we're 
building our loyalty and rewards

390
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:43,520
ecosystem, our user generated 
content platform. 

391
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:48,160
And it's really set up to be 
like an app, like a mobile web 

392
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:51,920
app and you know, function like 
an app and have all the things 

393
00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:55,720
that you would be used to if it 
was on iOS or or Android. 

394
00:19:56,080 --> 00:20:00,560
And you know, it's basically 
like the home base for for 

395
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:05,080
doodles like we we look at it 
as, you know, kind of a place 

396
00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:10,360
where you come to prepare your 
journey on the blockchain and on

397
00:20:10,360 --> 00:20:14,080
the Internet to have a really 
incredible experience. 

398
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:16,520
But it's based, it's going to 
connect to every single touch 

399
00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:18,840
point, so whether you're buying 
toys. 

400
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:22,920
Going to a live event or you 
know, sharing social content, 

401
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:26,240
like all of that stuff is going 
to be able to be connected back 

402
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:30,560
into the studio and register. 
So we're we're going to know who

403
00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:33,360
our most engaged, you know, 
community members are. 

404
00:20:33,360 --> 00:20:35,560
And because of that, we're going
to be able to reward them in new

405
00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:39,160
ways, know more about them and 
really know how to personalize 

406
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:41,760
their experience with the brand.
So this is, this is just the 

407
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:43,680
start. 
There's so much more development

408
00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:46,720
coming out in the studio. 
But but yeah, we finally 

409
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:48,080
released it out of beta. 
We couldn't. 

410
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:50,400
We couldn't be more excited. 
I love that dude. 

411
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:53,320
I I got to get me one of these 
watches. 

412
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:55,360
I'm not going to lie, I know 
this is not what you're talking 

413
00:20:55,360 --> 00:20:56,960
about, but I'm. 
I'm just sharing my screen right

414
00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:58,760
now and I'm going through a 
Doodles X page. 

415
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:02,160
You guys are quite active on X 
now. 

416
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:06,760
I like that. 
Yeah, I mean, come a long way. 

417
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:08,320
Y'all posting now. 
Y'all post. 

418
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:10,000
But now next you got to get the 
casting. 

419
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:11,920
That's a new posting, you know. 
Phew. 

420
00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:15,000
But I'm sure the right guy put 
you on that forecaster train. 

421
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:17,200
I know, I know, I know. 
I'm digging in. 

422
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:19,960
I got, I I secured my name. 
We're gonna, we're, we're, we're

423
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:21,640
working on it. 
That was a great interview by 

424
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:23,760
the way. 
Shout TJ again, but watched some

425
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:25,160
of it yesterday. 
I thought it was fascinating. 

426
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:27,960
So OK so you got the studio 
stuff going on a lot of a lot of

427
00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:30,800
crazy stuff happening obviously 
on the on the on the golden wolf

428
00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:34,400
side which is which is awesome. 
And So what I I I noticed 

429
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:36,800
obviously like to say one of the
collab stuff you did the Crocs. 

430
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:40,400
You did G Shock obviously. 
Like I'm sure you have a bunch 

431
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:42,640
coming and obviously you have 
the whole Pharrell. 

432
00:21:43,120 --> 00:21:44,360
You mentioned Pharrell yourself 
here. 

433
00:21:44,360 --> 00:21:45,840
It's kind of a collab like he 
came on. 

434
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:50,120
So like what what role will like
collab have in like the future 

435
00:21:50,120 --> 00:21:52,200
of doodles here like what's 
what's coming up next And also 

436
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:53,280
what what's the latest with 
Pharrell. 

437
00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:54,720
I mean he's cooking over there 
at lvi. 

438
00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:57,560
Got to say that that cowboy 
collection was crazy the last 

439
00:21:57,560 --> 00:21:58,200
one. 
Yeah. 

440
00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:01,240
He's how how's the. 
Yeah, he's killing, honestly. 

441
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:03,400
You can hear doodles, too. 
There's there's a lot more 

442
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:05,080
coming, so I'll tell. 
I'll tell you more in a second. 

443
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:06,760
OK. 
Yeah. 

444
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:11,520
So, so collabs like they're, 
they're a huge part of the 

445
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:13,760
development. 
And this is like a big strategy 

446
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:15,880
that I kind of put into place 
when I came to the company 

447
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:21,160
because I really believe that 
the right brand collaboration 

448
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:25,280
integrates you into culture in a
very different way than trying 

449
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:28,600
to build everything on your own.
And it has to be the right 

450
00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:30,720
collaboration, has to be 
organic, it has to be 

451
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:33,200
meaningful. 
And we take a lot of pride in 

452
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:35,720
kind of who we select that we 
want to partner with. 

453
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:40,160
But at the end of the day, when 
you partner organically with a 

454
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:44,400
brand like Adidas and Pharrell, 
Skate brands like Human Race and

455
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:48,080
BBC, and then you move on to 
Crocs and then G Shock, like the

456
00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:50,880
kinds of brands we're going to 
start to partner with really 

457
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:53,240
start to make sense. 
And like there's a lot of 

458
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:55,840
crossover opportunity to reach 
their audiences. 

459
00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:58,920
So when G Shock does a collab 
post with us, all the people 

460
00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:02,240
that follow them now become 
aware of doodles when Crocs does

461
00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:04,680
the same thing. 
And by the way, don't forget 

462
00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:07,880
brands like Crocs and G Shock 
pay companies like Golden Wolf 

463
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:10,000
to create their marketing so. 
Different money glitch. 

464
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:14,240
So inherently when you're 
partnering with us, you're 

465
00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:17,680
getting award-winning creative 
right out of the gate. 

466
00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:21,640
So when we actually put creative
on their timeline, their 

467
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:24,960
audience is already perking up 
because it's such a high bar. 

468
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:29,280
So we have found that our 
followers increase whenever we 

469
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:32,720
do these brand partnerships. 
A lot of people you know, like 

470
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:34,640
have criticized in the past 
saying like oh, you're just 

471
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:36,400
trying to extract more from the 
community. 

472
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:39,400
That's not really it. 
Like my answer to that is always

473
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:43,360
like be excited about the moment
and the energy that this 

474
00:23:43,360 --> 00:23:47,520
collaboration is driving into 
the brand and don't worry, if 

475
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:50,840
you don't want the product, you 
don't have to buy the product 

476
00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:56,480
and that's completely fine. 
The even more so 60% of people 

477
00:23:56,480 --> 00:24:00,040
that bought Crocs were not 
holders, so I. 

478
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:03,960
Heard that stat on portal, so 
that's that's big 60%. 

479
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:07,680
We're not doodles holders, but 
were they 3 participants? 

480
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:09,880
Is there a way to see that 
versus Web 2 participants? 

481
00:24:10,120 --> 00:24:14,520
Not a way to see that, but I 
think that that matters to me a 

482
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:18,760
little less because it's still 
like, it's still people that 

483
00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:21,320
don't hold doodles. 
And it's not like we're just 

484
00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:24,720
trying to extract value out of 
every single doodle holder. 

485
00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:28,440
And we try and do a lot of 
things that like give people 

486
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:33,440
priority access and like make 
the NFTS that the people own 

487
00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:34,960
actually part of this 
experience. 

488
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:37,040
I'll tell you more about that 
when I talk about G Shock. 

489
00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:42,600
But like, if you really think of
why people loved the Pudgy 

490
00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:46,640
Penguins move into Walmart, it's
because they believed that 

491
00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:50,200
people outside of our echo 
chamber, we're going to be 

492
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:54,600
buying Pudgy Penguins toys at 
Walmart because everyone knows 

493
00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:58,920
it is very familiar with people.
People go to Walmart and Target 

494
00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:02,440
and all these toy stores to buy 
toys and now Pudgy Penguins is 

495
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:05,280
there. 
So off the top of your head, you

496
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:08,240
immediately think like that's 
not just web three people that 

497
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:12,280
is normies through and through. 
We're reaching a lot of normies 

498
00:25:12,360 --> 00:25:15,160
through these partnerships and 
we're trying to do this with a 

499
00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:18,920
media first approach before we 
go mass retail. 

500
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:23,040
It's not right or wrong in my 
opinion, it's just a different 

501
00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:25,800
strategy. 
So we're really doubling down on

502
00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:28,160
this. 
We have probably five more 

503
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:30,440
partnerships coming this year 
already committed. 

504
00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:33,280
We have a toy partnership. 
We have more apparel 

505
00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:35,440
partnerships. 
There's, you know, different 

506
00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:37,960
categories that I want to 
speculate too much on, but like 

507
00:25:38,360 --> 00:25:41,640
really, really big things this 
year that, you know, G Shock is 

508
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:44,040
frankly just the very tip of the
iceberg. 

509
00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:47,360
And then the one thing I want to
mention about G Shock is like, 

510
00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:50,480
so not only are we reaching new 
people through these 

511
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:53,760
partnerships, we are also 
figuring out a way to bring the 

512
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:57,920
community into these programs. 
So if you look, we're starting 

513
00:25:57,920 --> 00:25:59,840
to establish some main 
characters. 

514
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:04,280
We're starting to use NFTS that 
are inspiring these characters 

515
00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:07,640
in creative. 
So one of the things that we did

516
00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:13,760
with this G Shock campaign is 
the Alien character was the face

517
00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:15,960
of the campaign in all the 
marketing. 

518
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:19,160
There's a bunch of ancillary 
merchandise, a vinyl developed 

519
00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:24,520
by SK Lamb you know that's on 
sale and the Alien is actually 

520
00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:31,560
influenced by two by two NFTS, 
Pablo Punk Caso and you know and

521
00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:35,840
one other person actually own 
the green aliens and then eight 

522
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:40,800
other people own aliens. 
So what we did was just coming 

523
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:41,680
over a cold. 
Sorry guys. 

524
00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:47,440
So what we did was basically 
created a redemption package so 

525
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:51,960
those holders could get all of 
the merchandise that is on sale 

526
00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:54,640
for free. 
Well, the not the shirt and the 

527
00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:56,560
hoodie. 
It was the hat, the watch and 

528
00:26:56,560 --> 00:27:00,360
the vinyl. 
The vinyl is actually signed by 

529
00:27:00,360 --> 00:27:03,720
Burnt toast. 
So not everybody you can't buy 

530
00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:05,040
that. 
Only the holders are going to 

531
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:07,200
get that. 
The Alien holders are going to 

532
00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:12,360
get that and then the and then 
for the two that are actually 

533
00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:16,280
that actually influenced the 
main character, they're getting 

534
00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:20,520
a one of one page out of Scott's
sketchbook that influenced the 

535
00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:24,080
whole campaign, hand drawn like 
like art that you like. 

536
00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:27,280
Because these things, you can't 
ascribe value to these things. 

537
00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:31,520
They're priceless now. 
The redemption is not the 

538
00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:33,960
special thing. 
I think for Web 3, the mechanism

539
00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:38,680
in which to redeem it is we 
airdropped an 1155 token to the 

540
00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:44,320
alien holders and they wanted to
redeem the the merch they could 

541
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:47,240
or they could sell the token if 
they wanted to. 

542
00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:51,400
We tokenize the redemption so 
people can have the option to 

543
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:55,160
create whatever form of value 
they want for themselves or 

544
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:58,960
redeem the actual merchandise. 
Every one of them has redeemed 

545
00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:02,200
the merchandise. 
And the other piece of it is 

546
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:05,080
that we actually included the 
aliens in the marketing of the 

547
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:07,640
program. 
So all alien holders took to 

548
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:11,760
Twitter and did these like 
cryptic messages on Friday 

549
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:15,320
before we actually did the drop 
and helped in the campaign. 

550
00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:18,080
That is the kind of community Co
creation that we want to 

551
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:22,680
cultivate moving forward while 
like being true to Web Three 

552
00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:26,360
with how we actually like 
mechanize redemption and like, 

553
00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:29,800
you know, like it's like people 
getting a lot of what they want,

554
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:32,480
not looking at their fees. 
Yeah, no, that's great. 

555
00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:34,160
I'm sorry. 
It's the it's the sound of your 

556
00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:36,840
ad actually that was playing. 
But as I'm sharing the screen so

557
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:39,040
that's OK that's cool. 
I like the whole communication 

558
00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:41,000
aspect of that a lot. 
A lot anyway. 

559
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:43,360
So it's great. 
All of your stuff made by Golden

560
00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:45,720
Wolf by the way. 
Now in house all the the. 

561
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:50,560
Music too. 
The music too. 

562
00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:52,880
It's good sound. 
We have our own. 

563
00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:57,320
We have our We have our own 
internal music studio called 

564
00:28:57,320 --> 00:28:59,200
Take Your Medicine These two. 
Incredible. 

565
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:02,000
It sounds really nice on the 
Sony's right now. 

566
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:05,680
I'm not going to lie. 
Like, it's like the soundscape 

567
00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:08,120
one way. 
I don't know explain it, but you

568
00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:11,080
can tell it's done 
professionally because it's like

569
00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:13,400
fun. 
And then, so I know you asked 

570
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:15,440
about you asked about Pharrell, 
so. 

571
00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:20,200
Oh yeah, stop with Pharrell. 
Yeah he's he's good man. 

572
00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:23,600
We one of the other things that 
I think was amiss for us kind of

573
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:26,920
early on was like that big 
grandiose presentation we gave 

574
00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:30,280
at NFTNYC without 
contextualizing like just how 

575
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:32,600
long some of these things take 
to do well. 

576
00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:35,880
And you know that that was 
probably my bad more than 

577
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:40,440
anybody's like you know I there 
are so many things that can 

578
00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:44,720
change in over the course of 
trying to execute a business and

579
00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:49,520
the and like the idea of putting
out like a like a really 

580
00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:52,840
valuable piece of music and 
really valuable piece of film 

581
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:55,640
content. 
Like it takes a long time. 

582
00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:59,520
And I went into that 
presentation kind of giving 

583
00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:01,040
people like a vision into the 
future. 

584
00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:03,880
This is like what Doodles is 
going to be not what we're 

585
00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:07,560
committing to like tomorrow. 
We did miss a couple deadlines, 

586
00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:11,360
which kind of added extra 
scrutiny to that, but at the end

587
00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:15,120
of the day, like none of our 
vision has really changed 

588
00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:17,400
specifically around what 
Pharrell is doing. 

589
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:21,640
We have our first major content 
experience coming out with him 

590
00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:24,040
this year. 
It's Doodle's records. 

591
00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:28,240
It's got like I I don't want to 
give too much alpha on it, but 

592
00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:31,760
it's basically a ground breaking
content experience that's going 

593
00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:36,680
to be anchored by by a short 
film, a music EP. 

594
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:39,880
Pharrell's doing the music. 
We're going to have a couple big

595
00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:43,480
artists that are voicing 
characters in the actual content

596
00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:45,680
itself. 
There's a lot more news on that 

597
00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:50,400
coming, but like, trust me, Web 
Three hasn't seen anything like 

598
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:52,640
what is about to come this year.
It is. 

599
00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:56,520
It's going to be trending on 
platforms. 

600
00:30:56,520 --> 00:30:59,360
It's going to be very like that 
moment that people had when they

601
00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:01,480
saw the Walmart announcement for
Pudgy. 

602
00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:04,280
They're going to have when they 
start seeing shit that we make 

603
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:07,440
on Spotify and YouTube and all 
the other areas that you consume

604
00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:10,120
content. 
Sims, you know what? 

605
00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:11,920
The clip here. 
And we're gonna, we're gonna 

606
00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:15,440
we're gonna hold our boy Julian 
accountable to that and or you 

607
00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:16,080
know what? 
Not even. 

608
00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:17,760
We're gonna just bring it back 
when it happens. 

609
00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:19,080
You know, we're gonna pick it 
back. 

610
00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:21,000
And I'm excited for it. 
I like this type of stuff. 

611
00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:22,400
I like this. 
This is what we're here for. 

612
00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:23,720
And I think it's exciting. 
Yeah. 

613
00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:26,840
I mean your background is 
literally Billboard CEO, right? 

614
00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:28,560
You're ACACO of Billboard. 
Right. 

615
00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:30,000
President. 
Sorry. 

616
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:30,920
I'm sorry. 
President. 

617
00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:31,480
Yeah. 
You know what? 

618
00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:34,280
I I'm a president now too. 
You know, I'm just saying. 

619
00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:35,520
So I get that. 
You know the vibes. 

620
00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:37,360
You know it it feels cool, 
right? 

621
00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:39,760
It's a nice title. 
I love the title better than 

622
00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:40,800
CEO. 
Frankly, I have. 

623
00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:45,600
To say like whenever whenever we
did the merger, I I jumped on 

624
00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:50,080
that title like I I was like I 
was Co CEO with logs. 

625
00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:52,640
I was like oh you can have it, 
you can have the CEO Shit, I'm 

626
00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:54,520
good. 
Like I I like Presidente, you 

627
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:55,880
know. 
Yeah, exactly. 

628
00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:58,560
That's like, what's it? 
You know, Portnoy from Barstool?

629
00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:01,240
You never changed the title. 
So last week and you guys going 

630
00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:03,440
to think I'm crazy? 
Oh my, I'll send it to you too, 

631
00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:05,560
Julian. 
But I wrote a letter, and I made

632
00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:08,440
a letter head for myself, 
inspired by the president of the

633
00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:10,680
United States. 
And then I made a letter bottom 

634
00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:12,320
whatever. 
And I said from the desk of the 

635
00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:15,320
president. 
And I wrote my team a note of 

636
00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:17,640
how proud I was of their work 
because I was generally happy. 

637
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:19,760
It was a Friday night where I 
had done like 40 meetings that 

638
00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:20,840
week. 
It was insane. 

639
00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:23,360
And they all worked hard. 
And I was like, and I wrote the 

640
00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:25,720
whole thing and I wrote from the
letter and I said it to all the.

641
00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:28,760
That's so good, man. 
That's the best, dude. 

642
00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:30,160
Like. 
I'm so extra dude. 

643
00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:31,640
I love. 
That that's it. 

644
00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:33,160
You got we got to have fun, 
right? 

645
00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:35,000
Look like you work on this fun 
stuff for talking. 

646
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:37,840
G shark talking, Crock talking. 
You know, all the this shit is. 

647
00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:39,240
Fun, man. 
Like that's. 

648
00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:41,840
Like. 
That's the hard thing about the 

649
00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:44,160
space sometime. 
And like I'm not saying it's not

650
00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:46,720
warranted. 
We're playing for like like 

651
00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:49,280
really high stakes here. 
Like, I I get it. 

652
00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:52,480
But like, I wake up every 
morning and I feel like I'm in a

653
00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:54,360
dream. 
Like, I'm getting to make 

654
00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:59,000
cartoons and merchandise and 
live events and make people 

655
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:02,960
smile and happy. 
Like, it's our job to inform 

656
00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:04,480
people. 
It's our job to entertain 

657
00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:06,120
people. 
Like, I dreamed about that when 

658
00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:08,800
I was like in a sports marketing
class in high school. 

659
00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:10,920
Like, you have to pinch me every
time. 

660
00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:14,520
And that's why I always say to 
people like like Web Three, you 

661
00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:18,840
really have to be in it and 
experience it to understand, 

662
00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:20,720
like, how powerful the culture 
is. 

663
00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:24,560
And once you're there and really
in it and you give it a chance, 

664
00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:28,440
like, I, it's kind of hard to 
ever think about leaving. 

665
00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:31,400
Like, I have people that ask me 
all the time, like, yeah, NFTS 

666
00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:34,440
and Crypto are fucked. 
Are you, You know, you're really

667
00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:36,280
thinking about, you know, not 
getting back into the 

668
00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:38,440
entertainment industry. 
And I'm like, yeah, I still do 

669
00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:40,600
that. 
And I'm like, you literally 

670
00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:41,680
don't know what you're talking 
about. 

671
00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:46,240
And I cannot wait. 
I cannot wait to show you what's

672
00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:48,040
up. 
Let's go. 

673
00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:49,280
Let's go. 
That's they. 

674
00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:52,520
I think that's some good energy 
to leave off on Julian. 

675
00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:56,400
You know, I I like that energy. 
I like the spirit, You know, you

676
00:33:56,400 --> 00:33:58,480
got, you got Ovi. 
Even reacting like Ovi. 

677
00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:03,200
Yeah, usually don't react. 
Not unless somebody's trying to 

678
00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:04,920
knock him out in the ring, 
exactly. 

679
00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:09,199
He wants to box again. 
He wants to do some exhibition, 

680
00:34:09,199 --> 00:34:10,920
but maybe I'm not supposed to 
say that. 

681
00:34:13,159 --> 00:34:15,880
But you know, we got to get him 
back in the ring because it was 

682
00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:20,120
one of my best trades last year.
The trade, you know, we hit a 

683
00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:25,000
300% return on that. 
Hey, they were giving me 3 to 

684
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:26,440
one odds, so we got to take 
them. 

685
00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:30,120
But Julian listen I'm excited. 
I think there's a lot of stuff 

686
00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:33,760
that you you left people excited
about holders non holders you 

687
00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:36,159
know we want we want wins. 
I we say this about pudges all 

688
00:34:36,159 --> 00:34:38,239
the time. 
We say this about a lot of other

689
00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:41,239
NFT projects on the show. 
We want wins in the space. 

690
00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:44,320
We actually we need wins in the 
space right. 

691
00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:46,520
We I'd I'd love to open Spotify.
Use Spotify. 

692
00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:48,920
Let's open Spotify and fucking 
see the Pharrell doodles like 

693
00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:53,719
crazy NFT Vinyl whatever the 
hell like going on trending on 

694
00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:56,040
there right. 
So this is stuff that's cool. 

695
00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:59,000
And also he's cooking at LV and 
getting bigger and bigger. 

696
00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:01,200
You figure if all keeps on 
getting actually more 

697
00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:03,000
influential by the year, which 
is wild. 

698
00:35:03,120 --> 00:35:05,920
I don't know how he does that 
motherfucker doesn't age but 

699
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:09,640
it's it's it's pretty well. 
So Julie, I don't know any last 

700
00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:11,800
words before we take off 
anything people should look 

701
00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:13,880
forward to maybe on the shorter 
term or something? 

702
00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:17,680
No, man, I, I, I, I appreciate 
you guys like everybody. 

703
00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:20,880
Stay tuned. 
There's there's a lot coming. 

704
00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:23,560
This was frankly like the 
smallest announcement and thing 

705
00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:26,440
that we're doing this year, this
past week, which should just 

706
00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:29,160
give you a sense of like how how
big and you know what we're 

707
00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:32,960
working on is. 
But like this culture is being 

708
00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:35,360
brought to the masses by people 
like you guys. 

709
00:35:35,360 --> 00:35:38,120
And like the more we can bring 
this culture to people like I 

710
00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:40,480
really people are going to get 
intoxicated by it. 

711
00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:41,720
People are really going to feel 
it. 

712
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:44,560
And a lot of people are getting 
Trojan horsed into this when 

713
00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:47,600
they don't even realize it yet. 
Like, you know, you guys having 

714
00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:50,160
wins is huge. 
Congrats on all the success and 

715
00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:52,720
like you know, appreciate the 
time and the platform guys. 

716
00:35:52,720 --> 00:35:55,840
Like, let's just keep changing 
this thing together. 100% 

717
00:35:55,920 --> 00:35:57,920
appreciate it, Julian. 
Thank you for coming today and 

718
00:35:58,120 --> 00:35:59,920
excited for what you guys got 
coming up. 

719
00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:01,360
All right, guys. 
You too. 

720
00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:05,240
Thanks man. 
All right, lads, that was a good

721
00:36:05,240 --> 00:36:05,800
review. 
Everybody. 

722
00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:07,560
Hang tight. 
Don't move, don't leave. 

723
00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:09,520
We're going to do market 
reports, we're going into NFTS, 

724
00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:11,560
we're going into crypto, we're 
going into gaming tokens, we're 

725
00:36:11,560 --> 00:36:13,360
going to talk about a whole 
bunch of stuff. 

726
00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:14,880
But what? 
What's the first impression 

727
00:36:14,880 --> 00:36:16,960
here? 
OE Mando, that was. 

728
00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:19,680
Solid. 
I like, yeah, I honestly, I 

729
00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:23,360
really respect any project 
that's been through a tough time

730
00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:26,520
and is trying to turn around its
fortunes and didn't just give up

731
00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:27,880
and rob the community and 
whatnot. 

732
00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:32,040
I think Doodles has had his fair
share of challenges, but they 

733
00:36:32,040 --> 00:36:34,080
sound like they have a plan. 
They sound like they went away 

734
00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:38,720
last year and devised an idea 
and a strategy and and are now 

735
00:36:39,200 --> 00:36:41,840
some way through executing it 
and you're seeing it in the 

736
00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:43,280
floor price and the sentiment 
improving. 

737
00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:47,600
So I respect that like I think 
this is a is a tough space and 

738
00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:53,800
sometimes people get a lot of 
Flack not for bad intention and 

739
00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:55,840
it's just a question of can you 
turn it around and it looks like

740
00:36:55,840 --> 00:36:59,080
they're giving that the the best
go they can and so far the 

741
00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:01,840
results seem good. 
So excited to you know, it's 

742
00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:03,320
great. 
It's great to see turn around 

743
00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:05,320
stories. 
It's great for the space and I'm

744
00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:07,880
definitely, I'm definitely 
rooting for that. 

745
00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:10,800
Yeah, that's that's that. 
You're right. 

746
00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:11,600
You're right. 
It's funny. 

747
00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:13,640
It's, it's good though like 
coming from you too because like

748
00:37:13,640 --> 00:37:15,960
you've been critical of that, 
right. 

749
00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:18,720
And so and so now like seeing 
that it's like it's a genuine 

750
00:37:18,720 --> 00:37:22,800
sentiment change because you're 
seeing like action not for for 

751
00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:24,360
anything. 
So I thought it was good. 

752
00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:26,400
I liked him going deeper into 
those moments and stuff like 

753
00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:29,160
even before going on, you know 
we're chatting in the studio 

754
00:37:29,160 --> 00:37:31,000
with Julie and he was just like 
it's just a lot of like 

755
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:33,920
introspection and like reworking
on internally on you know, the 

756
00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:35,320
brand, the business and 
everything, right. 

757
00:37:35,560 --> 00:37:38,640
Mind you, they also there was a 
raise on the doodles camp right 

758
00:37:38,720 --> 00:37:40,640
that happened there. 
So you have investors. 

759
00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:42,760
It's a lot of moving. 
I don't think people realize 

760
00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:45,000
when Julian says I have a board 
meeting later it's actually like

761
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:47,640
a whole different level of 
running a company with all these

762
00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:49,680
things. 
And I'm about to find out 

763
00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:52,720
personally this year this whole 
lot that you know it's it's it's

764
00:37:52,720 --> 00:37:57,560
I don't know it's scary almost. 
I was just talking as a founder 

765
00:37:57,560 --> 00:37:58,640
Guys. 
I don't know. 

766
00:37:58,640 --> 00:38:01,080
I don't know this is it's gonna 
it's interesting anyways. 

767
00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:05,360
Market report. 
I mean lads, whoa, we are 

768
00:38:05,480 --> 00:38:08,160
popping Ovi. 
I'm going to go to you first 

769
00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:10,360
because ETH is obviously leading
the charge. 

770
00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:14,440
Multiple fronts. 
You are bull posting out the 

771
00:38:14,440 --> 00:38:17,320
wazoo. 
You are quote, tweeting yourself

772
00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:20,280
with pastas and you keep 
revisiting and revising the 

773
00:38:20,280 --> 00:38:22,800
price of ETH. 
Ovi, talk to me. 

774
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:24,880
What is the rundown on the 
market? 

775
00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:27,160
Yeah, it's just more of the same
really. 

776
00:38:27,160 --> 00:38:29,760
I think we, we got the ETF 
numbers yesterday. 

777
00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:33,160
It actually was a smaller net 
inflow than we've seen in the 

778
00:38:33,160 --> 00:38:35,560
last few days. 
So I think it was just well I 

779
00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:39,240
said just it was $340 million 
inflow yesterday, but that's 

780
00:38:39,240 --> 00:38:43,280
still a sizeable number and that
takes it to about 2.4 billion 

781
00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:45,960
over the last five days. 
It takes the total net inflow 

782
00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:49,840
since the inception of the ETFs 
to 4.1 billion. 

783
00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:53,800
So it's these are massive, 
massive numbers and I think the 

784
00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:56,440
market just continues to digest 
it really like every day you're 

785
00:38:56,440 --> 00:39:02,160
seeing net demand from ETFs to 
the tune of hundreds of millions

786
00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:05,280
of dollars for Bitcoin. 
And I think the reason why ETF 

787
00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:08,440
is outperforming is because of 
the ETF narrative as well That's

788
00:39:08,840 --> 00:39:13,000
now three months away. 
Yeah, three months away, just 

789
00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:16,160
over three months away. 
And it's almost like we're going

790
00:39:16,160 --> 00:39:18,680
to see the same thing with ETH 
that we saw with Bitcoin in the 

791
00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:23,040
run up to the ETF approval. 
And if the Bitcoin ETF ends up 

792
00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:25,680
being a success for the Bitcoin 
price, which so far it has been,

793
00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:28,240
that makes the narrative for ETH
very strong. 

794
00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:31,560
And I do think, you know, there 
is still some doubt as to 

795
00:39:31,560 --> 00:39:33,240
whether the ETF will get 
approved. 

796
00:39:33,240 --> 00:39:36,120
So I don't think it's priced in.
I think even for myself, I don't

797
00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:39,680
think it's 100% slam dunk like 
it was for Bitcoin because it is

798
00:39:39,680 --> 00:39:40,960
something different. 
I think it's a very high 

799
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:43,520
probability. 
But yeah, I I don't think it's 

800
00:39:43,520 --> 00:39:46,160
completely different. 
But because you know, Grayscale 

801
00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:49,480
won it's case against the SEC 
and that theoretically should 

802
00:39:49,480 --> 00:39:52,400
translate to to this situation. 
But there are some you know some

803
00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:57,200
different assets so you do have 
to apply some you know some 

804
00:39:57,200 --> 00:39:59,800
probability of doubt there. 
And even for Bitcoin ETF like we

805
00:39:59,800 --> 00:40:01,880
didn't really value until it was
approved. 

806
00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:04,960
So I don't think it's priced in 
and I think that's what people 

807
00:40:05,240 --> 00:40:07,360
are looking at now and starting 
to get pulled up on now. 

808
00:40:07,680 --> 00:40:10,520
And my expectation is that 
you'll start to see ETH perform 

809
00:40:10,520 --> 00:40:13,240
pretty well against Bitcoin. 
I'm not sure about against 

810
00:40:13,240 --> 00:40:14,640
Solano and and higher beta 
assets. 

811
00:40:14,640 --> 00:40:18,320
But against Bitcoin I think ETH 
starts to outperform as we head 

812
00:40:18,320 --> 00:40:22,240
towards May and it might take a 
a long time to for it to happen.

813
00:40:22,240 --> 00:40:24,560
It's not just going to be a day 
one thing, but I think we'll 

814
00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:29,160
continue to see a very strong. 
Technical backdrop for ETH, but 

815
00:40:29,240 --> 00:40:31,680
yeah, that's where we are. 
I think you know Bitcoin hit 52 

816
00:40:31,680 --> 00:40:34,280
1/2 K earlier today. 
ETH was 2850. 

817
00:40:34,280 --> 00:40:37,640
We've had a little bit of a pull
back since then, but price 

818
00:40:37,640 --> 00:40:39,080
action is is still pretty 
strong. 

819
00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:46,560
Yeah, it's funny because like 
you shit will shit will like gap

820
00:40:46,560 --> 00:40:49,880
up loads and then it drops and 
everyone's like Oh my God, it 

821
00:40:49,880 --> 00:40:51,320
just drops. 
But you look at the price versus

822
00:40:51,320 --> 00:40:53,760
yesterday and was still up, so. 
Look at the drop. 

823
00:40:55,160 --> 00:40:56,600
Yeah, exactly. 
It's just a classic thing at the

824
00:40:56,600 --> 00:40:59,280
moment. 
Like we, we, we rally whenever 

825
00:40:59,520 --> 00:41:03,560
the US opens because that's when
all the buying happens. 

826
00:41:03,840 --> 00:41:07,320
And then we all freak out for 
the rest of the afternoon and 

827
00:41:07,320 --> 00:41:09,240
everyone's like, oh, there's no 
more buying going to happen. 

828
00:41:09,520 --> 00:41:12,800
And then as we start to have the
European morning, we start to 

829
00:41:12,800 --> 00:41:14,440
rally again because everyone's 
like, Oh no. 

830
00:41:14,440 --> 00:41:16,000
No, no, no, no. 
The Europe poor isn't buying 

831
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:17,120
shit, bro. 
You're talking. 

832
00:41:17,120 --> 00:41:18,320
About Asia, Asia, Asia, the. 
US to wake. 

833
00:41:18,480 --> 00:41:19,440
Up. 
No, no, no. 

834
00:41:20,240 --> 00:41:23,440
Don't even try to sneakily say 
the European morning because 

835
00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:26,080
you're you are literally the 
only European like that's like 

836
00:41:26,080 --> 00:41:29,720
Max bidding, OK, You're and 
you're trading on Asia time. 

837
00:41:29,880 --> 00:41:31,280
So let's let's just put it that 
way. 

838
00:41:31,920 --> 00:41:33,720
OK, it's the same thing 
happening every day. 

839
00:41:33,720 --> 00:41:37,120
But look at the chart like it 
literally you can see points of 

840
00:41:37,120 --> 00:41:39,840
the like any bring up anything 
like Bitcoin. 

841
00:41:40,640 --> 00:41:42,880
You can just see what happens. 
Like we we. 

842
00:41:43,600 --> 00:41:46,440
Yeah, 4 hour chart. 
Rally into the US Open and then 

843
00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:48,600
we sell off. 
You can see it. 

844
00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:50,400
You sound like we ran into the 
server and then we sell off in 

845
00:41:50,400 --> 00:41:51,800
the afternoon. 
Then we rally again. 

846
00:41:52,960 --> 00:41:55,640
This is This Is Us now realizing
there's no more bias until 

847
00:41:55,640 --> 00:42:00,640
tomorrow morning. 
So everyone freaks out and we'll

848
00:42:00,640 --> 00:42:04,440
do it again again tomorrow. 
And I'll do it again tomorrow, 

849
00:42:04,440 --> 00:42:06,880
you know what I mean? 
It's like, you know, a few weeks

850
00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:09,800
ago we'd wake up and be like, oh
shit, we're going to wake up and

851
00:42:09,800 --> 00:42:13,680
get dumped on by GBTC. 
And I was like, oh shit, let's 

852
00:42:13,680 --> 00:42:15,160
go. 
We're going to wake up and go 

853
00:42:15,160 --> 00:42:17,040
higher, you know what I mean? 
It's like a complete sentiment 

854
00:42:17,040 --> 00:42:18,760
shift, which is I I found funny,
right? 

855
00:42:18,760 --> 00:42:20,680
Because when you were saying 
that, like, now we're like 

856
00:42:20,760 --> 00:42:22,680
waking up and we're like excited
for U.S. 

857
00:42:22,680 --> 00:42:26,560
Open, which we were not before. 
And we're not talking about the 

858
00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:29,480
tennis here, We're talking about
markets. 

859
00:42:30,600 --> 00:42:32,600
But but it was just, you know, 
hold on. 

860
00:42:32,600 --> 00:42:37,200
That was really bad one. 
So market's good. 

861
00:42:37,280 --> 00:42:40,480
Everything's looking great. 
Mando, let me go to you. 

862
00:42:40,600 --> 00:42:44,680
I mean, say or what you like to 
call, say that thing is going 

863
00:42:44,720 --> 00:42:46,520
wild. 
Do you want to maybe touch that?

864
00:42:46,520 --> 00:42:48,440
By the way, cook those traits. 
Thank you so much. 

865
00:42:48,440 --> 00:42:50,880
Fuck me dude, guys. 
Mando gave me the train on 

866
00:42:50,880 --> 00:42:55,400
Friday, he told he said Long say
I long say so. 

867
00:42:55,520 --> 00:42:59,200
Appreciate that and and you know
it's great. 

868
00:42:59,200 --> 00:43:00,680
It's honestly, it's good. 
It's nice. 

869
00:43:00,920 --> 00:43:04,080
I needed I needed that. 
But but why is this happen? 

870
00:43:04,080 --> 00:43:06,920
Like why is say specifically 
really like an outlier pump 

871
00:43:06,920 --> 00:43:08,160
here? 
Not in that way. 

872
00:43:08,160 --> 00:43:10,960
I'm sorry. 
It's like it's it's going harder

873
00:43:10,960 --> 00:43:12,240
than most. 
Sure. 

874
00:43:12,240 --> 00:43:14,120
So. 
So it doesn't perform for for a 

875
00:43:14,120 --> 00:43:19,200
while before that. 
So remember it hit that local 

876
00:43:19,200 --> 00:43:25,840
high of like $0.75 maybe $0.80 
and then dipped for a long time 

877
00:43:25,840 --> 00:43:29,520
so it unfold for a while and and
really that was because it was a

878
00:43:29,520 --> 00:43:32,640
very large unlock happening and 
it happened yesterday. 

879
00:43:33,480 --> 00:43:36,320
So people were like and remember
say is a chain which is not 

880
00:43:36,480 --> 00:43:42,120
really operational, they are 
launching their V2 which is AV2 

881
00:43:42,120 --> 00:43:44,360
main net. 
But right now the TBL of say is 

882
00:43:44,360 --> 00:43:48,680
like 10 million. 
That being said, people are 

883
00:43:48,680 --> 00:43:53,400
expecting it to be a very, very 
quick rise because just given 

884
00:43:53,400 --> 00:43:57,360
the nature of the this paralyzed
now 20, I mean that was 10. 

885
00:43:57,720 --> 00:43:59,160
That was 10, like last week, 
yeah. 

886
00:44:01,440 --> 00:44:06,480
So part of it was I thought it'd
be bullish unlock. 

887
00:44:07,560 --> 00:44:11,680
And then secondly the V2, the V2
is meant to be coming out in 

888
00:44:11,680 --> 00:44:14,480
May, which is when they'll start
the TVA. 

889
00:44:14,480 --> 00:44:18,960
You'll start seeing the TBL rise
a lot and comparably. 

890
00:44:18,960 --> 00:44:25,200
Like if you look at SUI, which 
is a blockchain again, which has

891
00:44:25,240 --> 00:44:28,360
seen a massive increase in TBL, 
that's a chart that's just gone 

892
00:44:29,040 --> 00:44:32,240
parabolic. 
And wow, Sui's at $600 million 

893
00:44:32,240 --> 00:44:34,680
TBL. 
Yeah, they, they, they 

894
00:44:34,680 --> 00:44:37,080
basically. 
And that like, look what 

895
00:44:37,080 --> 00:44:38,840
happened to Sui. 
Like this was let me. 

896
00:44:38,920 --> 00:44:40,680
I'm kind of. 
There you go. 

897
00:44:41,000 --> 00:44:43,560
Here it is. 
Yeah, so and that's since. 

898
00:44:44,240 --> 00:44:47,640
Then right. 
Like that cup right there. 

899
00:44:48,440 --> 00:44:51,600
And that NN was the date that 
they changed. 

900
00:44:51,600 --> 00:44:55,200
They it's like an ecosystem fund
and and and the TDL rose a lot 

901
00:44:55,200 --> 00:44:58,000
so like chains really respond to
increasing in TBL. 

902
00:44:58,400 --> 00:45:00,520
The WIC, like that meme, look at
that. 

903
00:45:01,040 --> 00:45:05,800
They're literally look at. 
That hope is the hope is that 

904
00:45:05,800 --> 00:45:10,600
they are, you know they'll start
to now gain a lot of TDL by May.

905
00:45:10,600 --> 00:45:11,840
So people getting very, very 
bullish. 

906
00:45:12,680 --> 00:45:17,880
Obviously this was something 
it's up like 50% in the last in 

907
00:45:17,880 --> 00:45:22,120
the last couple of weeks this 
was trading at $0.60 and now 

908
00:45:22,120 --> 00:45:25,280
it's trading at 95 or whatever 
it is. 

909
00:45:25,680 --> 00:45:28,400
So it's up a lot I have to 
admit. 

910
00:45:28,640 --> 00:45:31,480
I mean I told you I took some 
profits today, funding got very,

911
00:45:31,480 --> 00:45:33,000
very high and got very, very 
build up. 

912
00:45:34,720 --> 00:45:36,080
I don't know. 
I feel like it. 

913
00:45:36,080 --> 00:45:39,560
It's a good story. 
I really like the story, just 

914
00:45:39,560 --> 00:45:44,240
maybe not today. 
But yeah, that was a that was a 

915
00:45:44,240 --> 00:45:46,840
big mover. 
And then really it's like I said

916
00:45:46,840 --> 00:45:49,080
yesterday, the trays that I'm 
looking at right now, I'm 

917
00:45:49,080 --> 00:45:52,760
looking at anything which is 
etho ETH related. 

918
00:45:52,760 --> 00:45:58,360
So I had a very small position 
in Ondo, which is that real? 

919
00:45:58,960 --> 00:46:01,480
That real. 
Well, that's it's fun. 

920
00:46:01,840 --> 00:46:04,320
I've been growing that today as 
that's dipped. 

921
00:46:06,600 --> 00:46:08,960
Yeah, so that's dipped today. 
So I bought some of that. 

922
00:46:09,280 --> 00:46:15,760
I bought some, bought some SNX 
which is synthetics which is 

923
00:46:15,760 --> 00:46:22,000
just like underpins a lot of the
perp space on ETH and a lot of 

924
00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:27,400
the D5 space and I'm looking for
ETH ETH beta trades to keep on 

925
00:46:27,400 --> 00:46:29,400
going. 
I think ETH will continue to 

926
00:46:29,400 --> 00:46:33,400
outperform here, so each soul 
moved about 5% today. 

927
00:46:34,120 --> 00:46:37,960
ETH Bitcoin has been is up as 
well. 

928
00:46:38,520 --> 00:46:40,120
I just, I just like it, that 
trait. 

929
00:46:40,120 --> 00:46:44,360
So my I've just, I've kept kind 
of the same amount of risk. 

930
00:46:44,360 --> 00:46:48,840
I've just converted more and 
more of it to ETH or ETH related

931
00:46:48,840 --> 00:46:52,120
things as over the last four 
days. 

932
00:46:53,080 --> 00:46:56,960
OK, look, I love that 2800 ETH 
feels pretty good, but I cannot 

933
00:46:56,960 --> 00:47:00,880
help but wonder what would. 
It's going above 3K, not $100 

934
00:47:00,880 --> 00:47:02,360
ETH feel like though. 
Am I right? 

935
00:47:02,480 --> 00:47:04,520
Can I ask you why are you 
tagging this person on stop? 

936
00:47:04,560 --> 00:47:07,120
Was he like a hater? 
This is the guy that used to 

937
00:47:07,120 --> 00:47:11,040
tweet the same thing that I'm 
tweeting back in 2021. 

938
00:47:11,240 --> 00:47:13,440
I didn't know that, OK. 
When he was really bullish on 

939
00:47:13,480 --> 00:47:16,240
Earth, but ever since then he's 
been a massive Bitcoin dominance

940
00:47:16,240 --> 00:47:18,520
maximalist. 
Maximus is the wrong word, but 

941
00:47:18,520 --> 00:47:20,240
he's been very bullish on 
Bitcoin dominance, and in 

942
00:47:20,240 --> 00:47:22,000
fairness to him. 
He's been smart. 

943
00:47:22,320 --> 00:47:26,640
He's been right. 
He's definitely been right, but 

944
00:47:26,720 --> 00:47:29,400
I love this. 
I think he, I think he's kind of

945
00:47:29,400 --> 00:47:31,040
like picking up pennies in front
of the steamroller. 

946
00:47:31,040 --> 00:47:32,880
Now is my, is my view. 
I love this. 

947
00:47:32,880 --> 00:47:34,000
Look at this every time you 
click. 

948
00:47:34,240 --> 00:47:41,320
It's 100 back 25262728 and I'm 
going to wake up tomorrow 

949
00:47:41,320 --> 00:47:43,720
morning and look at the 29. 
Then I'm going to wake up the 

950
00:47:43,720 --> 00:47:46,720
next morning and I'm going to 
look at the 33,000. 

951
00:47:47,320 --> 00:47:49,360
Why don't we? 
Let's talk about you for a 

952
00:47:49,360 --> 00:47:51,040
second here. 
You're talking E Beta trades and

953
00:47:51,040 --> 00:47:54,080
stuff. 
I think there was, didn't 

954
00:47:54,120 --> 00:47:56,000
Kongeko? 
Can't you look at Eve Beta? 

955
00:47:56,000 --> 00:47:57,440
Like wasn't it? 
Isn't there a thing? 

956
00:47:57,440 --> 00:47:58,640
I'm trying to pull it up on 
screen? 

957
00:47:59,040 --> 00:48:00,800
I don't use Kongeko as much, I 
use CMC. 

958
00:48:00,840 --> 00:48:02,640
Which is the different things 
you can play for EVE beta, 

959
00:48:02,640 --> 00:48:03,880
right? 
Because it's got so. 

960
00:48:04,240 --> 00:48:05,640
I. 
Know. 

961
00:48:06,840 --> 00:48:09,640
I know, I agree. 
I'm starting to get, I have to 

962
00:48:09,640 --> 00:48:12,360
say for the first time here OV 
I'm starting to get pulled up on

963
00:48:12,360 --> 00:48:16,680
your shit blast. 
I I don't know. 

964
00:48:16,680 --> 00:48:18,680
Maybe you're tweeting too much 
about and it's getting to me. 

965
00:48:19,240 --> 00:48:21,240
I haven't tweeted the last. 
Couple about in the last couple.

966
00:48:21,280 --> 00:48:24,480
Of days pump token that like the
wassies are going I I have I 

967
00:48:24,480 --> 00:48:27,360
bought a Wassie like dude I 
showed you like I I bought a 

968
00:48:27,360 --> 00:48:30,760
wassie it's in my baroque dot 
ETH wallet like you're plus ago 

969
00:48:30,760 --> 00:48:32,320
and you I'm going to get an air 
drop for that. 

970
00:48:33,320 --> 00:48:35,920
Yeah, they'll get. 
Get him on stroll, by the way. 

971
00:48:35,920 --> 00:48:39,160
Pump, yeah, pump will be the 
first, I suppose one of the 

972
00:48:39,160 --> 00:48:43,440
first mean tokens on blast and I
think something like 80% of the 

973
00:48:43,440 --> 00:48:46,680
suppliers going to the NFT 
holders, some of the some of the

974
00:48:46,680 --> 00:48:49,400
supply goes to blast stakers and
maybe some of it to the team, 

975
00:48:49,400 --> 00:48:50,200
I'm not sure. 
Look at the. 

976
00:48:50,400 --> 00:48:51,360
Ms. The last one. 
Nice. 

977
00:48:52,400 --> 00:48:55,640
Yeah. 
The the other something I asked 

978
00:48:55,720 --> 00:48:57,520
someone just asked in the in the
comments as well. 

979
00:48:57,520 --> 00:49:00,280
The other, the other token 
that's really been going nuts is

980
00:49:00,560 --> 00:49:05,320
some of the Bitcoin L2 stuff. 
So Bitcoin L2's and this is kind

981
00:49:05,320 --> 00:49:08,440
of what Anthem and Melton are 
getting on the back of publicly.

982
00:49:08,440 --> 00:49:10,160
So you're probably going to see 
a lot more on the timeline, but 

983
00:49:10,160 --> 00:49:13,120
Stacks is obviously the most 
well known one and there's been 

984
00:49:13,160 --> 00:49:18,080
a lot of criticism of them. 
But there seem to be some very, 

985
00:49:18,080 --> 00:49:21,000
very big changes and funding 
rounds being done. 

986
00:49:21,440 --> 00:49:23,640
People think that the whole 
Stacks technology might even 

987
00:49:24,400 --> 00:49:27,000
have a few upgrades. 
Kind of similar to how you know 

988
00:49:27,000 --> 00:49:31,280
Polygon looks to looks to build 
out several different L2 types, 

989
00:49:32,520 --> 00:49:36,680
ZK, ZK, roll up on Bitcoin or or
various other things. 

990
00:49:36,680 --> 00:49:43,080
So Stacks is Stacks is at an all
time high and that that that's 

991
00:49:43,080 --> 00:49:45,880
been a huge move. 
It's been leading leading the 

992
00:49:45,880 --> 00:49:49,800
top 100 alts for a little bit. 
So as opposed to just Bitcoin, 

993
00:49:49,800 --> 00:49:54,160
you're starting to see Bitcoin 
L2 become a big thing and that 

994
00:49:54,160 --> 00:49:56,240
is definitely a trend to pay 
attention to because that's 

995
00:49:56,240 --> 00:50:01,920
where I would say from the the 
second-half of 2023, that was 

996
00:50:01,920 --> 00:50:06,560
where about 80 to 90% of all the
VC funding stuff was happening. 

997
00:50:07,040 --> 00:50:09,280
So they normally haven't. 
They're normally a leading 

998
00:50:09,280 --> 00:50:11,520
indicator about what everyone's 
going to start throwing them 

999
00:50:11,520 --> 00:50:14,000
into. 
And it does feel like that as a 

1000
00:50:14,000 --> 00:50:16,080
trend is going to be a big one. 
OK. 

1001
00:50:17,200 --> 00:50:18,360
OK. 
That's good. 

1002
00:50:18,400 --> 00:50:21,280
We love to see that. 
Well markets I guess I mean 

1003
00:50:21,280 --> 00:50:23,560
Europe, Europe didn't need to 
wake up market is just rallying 

1004
00:50:23,560 --> 00:50:27,760
again love to see that we had 
like a, a baby dip for like 5 

1005
00:50:27,760 --> 00:50:31,240
minutes. 
You know we're we're so anyways 

1006
00:50:31,240 --> 00:50:33,360
so price is 5215. 
Yes. 

1007
00:50:33,800 --> 00:50:37,800
I have to say last night I was a
little lit you know I I I added 

1008
00:50:37,800 --> 00:50:40,800
the wine pairing to my wonderful
meal that I had with Vanessa. 

1009
00:50:41,520 --> 00:50:45,200
And so I was not a little I was 
lit like you know I took the 

1010
00:50:45,200 --> 00:50:48,760
five wines and I I ended up with
a beautiful soteren, which I 

1011
00:50:48,760 --> 00:50:50,320
gets the sweetness of it. 
Gosh, I. 

1012
00:50:50,320 --> 00:50:56,880
Love Soteren. 
Dude, Soteren is so good and and

1013
00:50:56,920 --> 00:50:59,720
I and I sat down and I got home.
It was like 11. 

1014
00:50:59,960 --> 00:51:03,200
It was 11. 
I was tired, rolled one up, got 

1015
00:51:03,200 --> 00:51:06,760
high. 
I sat back and I realized 

1016
00:51:06,760 --> 00:51:09,040
Bitcoin is 52,000 fucking 
dollars. 

1017
00:51:10,120 --> 00:51:14,880
Like, I don't, I don't know, 
like, do you guys, you just 

1018
00:51:14,880 --> 00:51:18,600
realize that you guys crazy this
time is right now like we. 

1019
00:51:19,360 --> 00:51:23,160
Like, I don't think, I think too
many people like, take it for 

1020
00:51:23,160 --> 00:51:26,000
granted because we're talking 
100 KS and 250 KS and half, 

1021
00:51:26,000 --> 00:51:28,720
$1,000,000 Bitcoin and you have 
fucking Kathy Woods saying like 

1022
00:51:29,680 --> 00:51:31,560
fucking $10 million Bitcoin, you
know what I mean? 

1023
00:51:31,560 --> 00:51:34,280
We're creating like, like, I 
think it's pretty wild what's 

1024
00:51:34,280 --> 00:51:36,640
happening in the space. 
There's a massive shift going on

1025
00:51:37,120 --> 00:51:39,120
in front of us and that could, 
that could be the run. 

1026
00:51:39,400 --> 00:51:41,360
That could be it. 
Like, we could that could be the

1027
00:51:41,360 --> 00:51:44,200
run. 
And it's exciting. 3X in the 

1028
00:51:44,200 --> 00:51:50,760
last 14 months, right, 3X? 
There's been quite a lot of 

1029
00:51:50,760 --> 00:51:53,160
memes about that recently, just 
like people talking about how 

1030
00:51:53,160 --> 00:51:55,080
great their portfolio the stock 
portfolios have been. 

1031
00:51:55,080 --> 00:51:58,480
But since FDX Bitcoin, Bitcoin 
did a 3X. 

1032
00:51:59,520 --> 00:52:01,400
Look at this. 
Phenomenal. 

1033
00:52:01,400 --> 00:52:04,880
Time to buy Bitcoin when FTX was
happening. 

1034
00:52:04,920 --> 00:52:06,360
Phenomenal. 
Look at this. 

1035
00:52:07,520 --> 00:52:11,440
It was a phenomenal time to buy 
Bitcoin three months ago, bro. 

1036
00:52:12,920 --> 00:52:16,760
It's crazy because I think this 
is at the risk of, you know, 

1037
00:52:16,760 --> 00:52:19,080
being a local top. 
I think this is just the 

1038
00:52:19,080 --> 00:52:21,080
beginning of a bigger move. 
I really do. 

1039
00:52:22,320 --> 00:52:24,000
And I think you just have to get
your head out of, if you've been

1040
00:52:24,000 --> 00:52:26,920
around this market for the last 
two or three years, every day, 

1041
00:52:27,360 --> 00:52:30,000
it's really hard to get your 
head out of the bubble that you 

1042
00:52:30,000 --> 00:52:32,120
get sucked into when you just be
you're like, oh, prices up so 

1043
00:52:32,120 --> 00:52:33,360
much just to sell this kind of 
stuff. 

1044
00:52:33,360 --> 00:52:38,080
But you know, if you take a step
back, I think the ETF have been 

1045
00:52:38,080 --> 00:52:41,560
around for a month, just over a 
month. 

1046
00:52:41,560 --> 00:52:44,200
We're just over a month into 
that and we're seeing consistent

1047
00:52:44,200 --> 00:52:46,720
data inflows. 
We are probably at the beginning

1048
00:52:47,120 --> 00:52:50,560
of a massive massive move higher
in Bitcoin and in crypto overall

1049
00:52:51,000 --> 00:52:53,840
where we do see new all time 
highs quite possibly this year. 

1050
00:52:54,640 --> 00:52:58,000
And yeah, it's a it's a really 
hard thing to like get yourself 

1051
00:52:58,680 --> 00:53:01,640
out of the mindset of like oh I 
should take, you know, you 

1052
00:53:01,640 --> 00:53:03,360
should take some profits along 
the way, but add the mindset of 

1053
00:53:03,360 --> 00:53:06,240
like oh like you know, I want to
like take the money and run away

1054
00:53:06,240 --> 00:53:08,920
and like just cash in because I 
fucked up from not taking 

1055
00:53:08,920 --> 00:53:11,440
profits last cycle. 
I think the best thing to do 

1056
00:53:11,440 --> 00:53:13,080
really is just sell little bits 
along the way. 

1057
00:53:15,240 --> 00:53:18,200
But yeah, I just think these 
prices, you know we're here 15th

1058
00:53:18,200 --> 00:53:22,160
of February 2024 in six months 
time we could be having very, 

1059
00:53:22,320 --> 00:53:24,000
very different conversations I 
think. 

1060
00:53:25,560 --> 00:53:27,840
Yeah, yeah, it's tough because 
we're in here every single day. 

1061
00:53:27,840 --> 00:53:29,720
So we look at different trades 
on a daily basis. 

1062
00:53:29,720 --> 00:53:33,080
But I did like ease keeps on 
pushing out that that tweet that

1063
00:53:33,120 --> 00:53:36,160
you pushed out yesterday, which 
is, you know, stop trying to 

1064
00:53:36,160 --> 00:53:39,240
catch small moves trying to 
catch, believe in things long 

1065
00:53:39,240 --> 00:53:43,880
term. 
I do think that people, most 

1066
00:53:43,880 --> 00:53:48,120
people underperform bit Bitcoin 
over the last 14 months. 

1067
00:53:48,320 --> 00:53:50,080
Everyone. 
Dude, I was looking back last 

1068
00:53:50,080 --> 00:53:53,200
night at all my stuff and 
because I was actually, I was 

1069
00:53:53,200 --> 00:53:55,920
because I was looking at Mog and
Mog went to like 70 + 1,000,000 

1070
00:53:55,920 --> 00:53:57,640
yesterday. 
So having a small pullback here,

1071
00:53:57,640 --> 00:54:00,760
but like still up above 50. 
And I was like, had I held onto 

1072
00:54:00,760 --> 00:54:04,160
the original Mog that I bought 
on the date in July last year, 

1073
00:54:05,120 --> 00:54:09,880
I'd probably be up like 
$400,000. 

1074
00:54:09,880 --> 00:54:13,200
I think it's tough. 
I can see that, I must say, but 

1075
00:54:13,200 --> 00:54:15,960
not not how you grow myself. 
But mind you, mind you, let me 

1076
00:54:15,960 --> 00:54:16,600
tell you. 
Just listen. 

1077
00:54:16,600 --> 00:54:17,880
We're all big. 
We're up big. 

1078
00:54:17,880 --> 00:54:19,640
OK? 
So there's no mind that we're 

1079
00:54:19,640 --> 00:54:22,720
still up big and we believed in 
something, but this is point. 

1080
00:54:23,640 --> 00:54:25,040
Believe in something. 
In freedom. 

1081
00:54:25,040 --> 00:54:26,680
Like I'm talking about shit 
Coin, talking about Bitcoin. 

1082
00:54:26,680 --> 00:54:28,600
Yeah, it's tough to believe in a
shit coin at the lows. 

1083
00:54:28,640 --> 00:54:30,480
Right, the Solana position. 
I did this. 

1084
00:54:30,480 --> 00:54:32,640
This the better. 
Solana's much better for 

1085
00:54:32,640 --> 00:54:34,600
example. 
I swapped my ease to Seoul in 

1086
00:54:34,600 --> 00:54:37,360
November and then recently, like
two or three weeks ago, Two 

1087
00:54:37,360 --> 00:54:41,560
weeks ago, I think I staked it. 
That trade for me has done 

1088
00:54:41,560 --> 00:54:44,520
better than all the bullshit 
I've chopped myself up and down 

1089
00:54:44,520 --> 00:54:46,400
in. 
Like whether it's like ape and 

1090
00:54:46,400 --> 00:54:49,840
jupe on launch or then being up 
and with a lot which we cooked 

1091
00:54:49,840 --> 00:54:51,960
that. 
Oh we still cooking that one up 

1092
00:54:51,960 --> 00:54:53,520
like crazy. 
I mean this motherfucker is 

1093
00:54:53,520 --> 00:54:55,520
making hard bro legs with that. 
You know I don't know what's 

1094
00:54:55,520 --> 00:54:58,360
happening there but he's he's 
chefing the Michelin star thing 

1095
00:54:58,400 --> 00:54:59,160
there. 
You know what I mean? 

1096
00:54:59,600 --> 00:55:02,200
But but there's that And then 
the up and downs though, right. 

1097
00:55:02,200 --> 00:55:04,880
So one second you'll be up six 
figs on on the coke and the next

1098
00:55:04,880 --> 00:55:07,080
second you're chopping yourself 
down to 0 because you're moving 

1099
00:55:07,080 --> 00:55:09,600
back-to-back. 
So it's it's interesting like 

1100
00:55:09,600 --> 00:55:11,200
when you that's why like 
yesterday taking a step back, 

1101
00:55:11,200 --> 00:55:13,520
I'm like damn, man. 
Like it made me realize like 

1102
00:55:13,520 --> 00:55:16,680
really like definitely like 
having a bag that you never 

1103
00:55:16,680 --> 00:55:19,360
touch. 
It's probably the best ever with

1104
00:55:19,360 --> 00:55:21,120
conviction. 
Just believe in something God 

1105
00:55:21,120 --> 00:55:22,680
damn it. 
You know. 

1106
00:55:22,680 --> 00:55:25,640
I mean oh remember you had a 
speech about believe in 

1107
00:55:25,640 --> 00:55:27,840
something God damn it have some 
conviction. 

1108
00:55:28,080 --> 00:55:31,120
When I think that was the bottom
there, that was the bottom, that

1109
00:55:31,160 --> 00:55:33,520
was this bottom signal. 
That was when everyone was like,

1110
00:55:33,840 --> 00:55:35,760
everyone was like, panicking 
about EVE. 

1111
00:55:36,280 --> 00:55:38,400
Yeah, like 1600 or whatever it 
was. 

1112
00:55:38,400 --> 00:55:41,840
Yeah that was that was that was 
good. 

1113
00:55:41,840 --> 00:55:44,640
Look like for example look on 
changes posted 2 minutes ago. 

1114
00:55:44,640 --> 00:55:47,120
I have my applications on for 
them dude. 

1115
00:55:47,360 --> 00:55:50,440
The giant whale began to inject 
funds into crypto market again 

1116
00:55:50,440 --> 00:55:54,240
this general in the past 26 
hours he received $148 million 

1117
00:55:54,240 --> 00:55:57,760
USDT from tethered treasury and 
deposit exchanges and the whale 

1118
00:55:57,760 --> 00:56:02,680
has injected 3.22 billion USDT 
into the market since October 

1119
00:56:02,680 --> 00:56:05,200
20th 2023. 
There is a whale. 

1120
00:56:06,080 --> 00:56:07,720
I don't know. 
But there it's 2 minutes ago I 

1121
00:56:07,720 --> 00:56:10,280
posted it. 
So this is like the level of 

1122
00:56:10,280 --> 00:56:13,760
like insanity. 
This is like nothing compared to

1123
00:56:13,760 --> 00:56:17,760
what's going to come. 
There's that's one whale, one 

1124
00:56:17,760 --> 00:56:19,880
wallet. 
It must be a fund I guess, but 

1125
00:56:19,880 --> 00:56:21,280
like. 
Has to be. 

1126
00:56:21,560 --> 00:56:24,320
That's a large number. 
Yeah, it's. 

1127
00:56:24,480 --> 00:56:27,920
And they're using crack. 
They crack like Kraken, 

1128
00:56:27,920 --> 00:56:32,680
Coinbase, OK, X Kraken there, 
look at that. 

1129
00:56:32,680 --> 00:56:34,280
Look at their buys, look at the 
buys of Bitcoin. 

1130
00:56:34,280 --> 00:56:38,720
They've been, they've been 
buying Bitcoin non-stop. 

1131
00:56:39,160 --> 00:56:41,760
You know and you're looking at 
Michael Saylor also is going to 

1132
00:56:41,760 --> 00:56:45,240
become the richest man on earth.
You know what's the stat of 

1133
00:56:45,240 --> 00:56:47,480
every dollar Bitcoin goes up how
much is he making? 

1134
00:56:47,640 --> 00:56:51,080
Like it's it's crazy. 
So I don't know like not to get 

1135
00:56:51,080 --> 00:56:54,680
people euphoric and all pulled 
up and stuff but like, you know 

1136
00:56:55,600 --> 00:56:59,920
like here we are we're here like
we know for for months and 

1137
00:56:59,920 --> 00:57:00,960
years. 
You know bear market. 

1138
00:57:00,960 --> 00:57:02,920
We say you know go slow, go 
slow. 

1139
00:57:02,920 --> 00:57:04,920
It's coming, it's coming, it's 
coming. 

1140
00:57:04,920 --> 00:57:08,040
But now we're here. 
So anyways it's I think it's an 

1141
00:57:08,040 --> 00:57:11,440
important thing to point out. 
Look it's already 11:30 and then

1142
00:57:11,440 --> 00:57:12,760
we went a little over with 
Julian. 

1143
00:57:12,760 --> 00:57:15,480
I don't want to the to ramble. 
Tomorrow's Friday we're going to

1144
00:57:15,480 --> 00:57:17,400
get Shabaz candles. 
Although we've been getting them

1145
00:57:17,400 --> 00:57:18,880
every day this week which has 
been great. 

1146
00:57:18,880 --> 00:57:21,160
We're going to get more. 
I do want to talk about H 

1147
00:57:21,160 --> 00:57:23,000
Channel, Arbitrum. 
I do want to talk about gaming 

1148
00:57:23,000 --> 00:57:24,240
tokens. 
I'm sorry if some people are 

1149
00:57:24,240 --> 00:57:27,280
have to but it's do it tomorrow.
So Sam's promise you let's do a 

1150
00:57:27,280 --> 00:57:31,080
gaming like 10 minutes top 
gaming tokens per Alex Becker. 

1151
00:57:31,080 --> 00:57:34,120
Which by the way, we've never 
had Alex Becker on the show come

1152
00:57:34,120 --> 00:57:35,600
together. 
Yeah, does. 

1153
00:57:35,680 --> 00:57:37,880
He follows me, actually. 
I don't think he follows us. 

1154
00:57:38,000 --> 00:57:39,360
I mean let's. 
Get him on, but not for the 

1155
00:57:39,360 --> 00:57:41,760
gaming stuff I'm more interested
in, like the supplement. 

1156
00:57:42,120 --> 00:57:45,320
Stuff, dude. 
He is this motherfucker. 

1157
00:57:45,440 --> 00:57:47,160
Jacked bro. 
It doesn't follow. 

1158
00:57:48,760 --> 00:57:52,000
That this guy is like, he's 
crazy. 

1159
00:57:52,000 --> 00:57:53,520
He's big. 
Maybe we couldn't ask through 

1160
00:57:53,520 --> 00:57:55,200
through Elio Elliot's homie. 
I don't know. 

1161
00:57:55,200 --> 00:57:57,320
Anyways, we should get him on. 
But let's talk about this shit 

1162
00:57:57,880 --> 00:58:00,120
and let's talk about all the 
gaming stuff because Arbitrum 

1163
00:58:00,120 --> 00:58:02,640
Landing Ape chain, that's big. 
I know there was bits from CK, 

1164
00:58:02,640 --> 00:58:04,840
there was bits from Polygon. 
It's like everyone was at it and

1165
00:58:04,840 --> 00:58:07,600
they they landed Arbitrum, which
is a big gaming move in my 

1166
00:58:07,600 --> 00:58:10,760
opinion. 
Pixel lands on Ronan arcades. 

1167
00:58:10,760 --> 00:58:14,240
XYZ are going to do an AirDrop 
overall that announced A10 min 

1168
00:58:14,240 --> 00:58:16,880
law funding round like there is 
so much guys, so let's let's 

1169
00:58:16,880 --> 00:58:20,000
let's cook on that tomorrow and 
get to that. 

1170
00:58:20,000 --> 00:58:24,680
So anyways, great show lovey. 
Also tomorrow we have the the 

1171
00:58:24,680 --> 00:58:26,800
Robot loot box spin, so hang 
tight. 

1172
00:58:26,800 --> 00:58:29,720
Tomorrow when you retweet the 
space, you'll have a chance to 

1173
00:58:30,040 --> 00:58:32,200
two, one and two chances right? 
Not one and two big. 

1174
00:58:32,200 --> 00:58:37,120
I mean there's two chances to 
come up and and and you know, be

1175
00:58:37,120 --> 00:58:38,120
part of this. 
So anyways. 

1176
00:58:38,280 --> 00:58:41,560
Anyways, anyways with that, with
that, with that, we will see 

1177
00:58:41,560 --> 00:58:44,480
y'all tomorrow morning, 10:30 AM
Eastern Standard Time, 7:30 AM 

1178
00:58:44,480 --> 00:58:46,960

episode of four more hour on 

1179
00:58:46,960 --> 00:58:49,080

Let's go.
