gm farcaster it is tuesday may 20 and you are here with nouna's profiting adrienne for twenty nine minutes of farcaster news to start your day plus our cast out episode seven technically i'm really hating the way my hat is tilted i don't know what's just bugging me and i can't quite get it right but anyway and i also need to just give this a little retweet out let people know we are live chatting farcaster news so adrianne how was jury duty

2:21Speaker 0

i do not hear you

2:23Speaker 1

no no you don't i had jury duty yesterday it was for federal court they don't mess around i'm on call for a freaking month

2:38Speaker 0

oh my

2:38Speaker 1

a month

2:41Speaker 0

a month

2:41Speaker 1

but insane they yeah you have to call every weekend for a month so i got called in yesterday didn't get selected for a jury yay but i gotta go back i gotta call again and maybe i have to go back like every i don't know i'm still on call they have an excuse

2:58Speaker 0

so for the rest of the week you're good and then you go to

3:01Speaker 1

the your electronics no phone no kindle which come on kindle has there's like no connectivity to it and luckily i had a actual physical book with me and i read for four and a half hours

3:16Speaker 0

okay well i mean nice little time to get caught up on some reading but also okay would die what would die oh my god had to be a murder trial it's a murder trial jeez wow

3:27Speaker 1

how is that

3:28Speaker 0

yeah and the other thing i was thinking yesterday i was like oh she's definitely not gonna get get called for a jury this week because world day weekend's coming up but then i was thinking you know what they probably have them report because then there are prosecutors going you better make a deal we're ready to go we'll take we don't care and they're just basically you know not the person but like the the lawyers who don't wanna work the rest of this week trying to get them to make a deal so that's probably what's going on

3:58Speaker 1

yeah and actually and i didn't get a chance i didn't get called into the room but i was preparing my plea for why i couldn't serve on jury duty and it's because i'm a startup founder and how do you like there's it's not like we've got employees like i only wonder

4:14Speaker 0

if it pays me yeah no one i mean

4:18Speaker 1

yeah there's no

4:19Speaker 0

there's no replacement for adrian

4:22Speaker 1

mm-mm

4:22Speaker 0

so it's my replacement

4:25Speaker 1

there's nothing that

4:26Speaker 0

i mean it's good i i wanna hear that conversation i'm sorry what don't you know me i'm the star i'm very important i need to go oh man yeah i'm sure there'll be a lot of a lot of interesting interesting experiments i'm normally somebody who says like do your duty do your jury duty do your civic duty i think it's important it can be really interesting it's important to you know make sure our systems run but also a month is a long time that's a a bit much

5:02Speaker 1

it's a long time and i felt bad because i can't really tell i didn't tell you till sunday night and then i was like oh by the way now you have to go find someone else to do this

5:09Speaker 0

well i mean we kinda knew it might happen i just really didn't think it would this week i really thought it would just not i didn't think this week for some reason i really didn't i thought you'd be safe

5:21Speaker 1

and i'm also of the opinion we should do civic duty and everyone should be good citizens however i'm also of the opinion that the there's too many lawsuits way too

5:30Speaker 0

many federal's a little different there's a lot more in state courts that could be yeah i mean this could be an email kind of situation

5:40Speaker 1

no take it outside

5:41Speaker 0

yeah take it outside like get over it i agree with that 100% yeah i agree with that 100% federal usually not as many in that in that vein it's usually more state state courts but anyway anyhoo still

5:56Speaker 1

farcaster news

5:57Speaker 0

let's let's talk some farcaster news we have had some things happening but it's been relatively quiet but we know something big's coming this week i just don't know what it is all right so let's dive in to a couple things that we missed from last week so this is from brad q who always starts us off with the twenty nine seconds of farcaster news and you can also subscribe and get this to your inbox or to your notifications on warpcast via paragraph so twenty nine seconds of farcaster what did i miss this weekend no gm farcaster today that was yesterday moe dropped a great mini app to view starter pack feeds in app and we were gonna talk about that v cast a primer on rewards most notably it scores your top 50 casts he also did a banger ama and the link is there if you wanna check that out lots of farcon roam talk with rolling up to farcon memes but also side combos about farcon being a dao or run by merkel and still having a us version tbd yeah we'll talk about that brackey was busy with nba playoffs pga championship hey and cast out also

7:08Speaker 1

brackey's very busy

7:10Speaker 0

yeah he's very busy this week in mini apps featured keckers and c jc four p hosted by horsebacks and under the radar but appreciated j.fin energy to spur intentional bgen tipping again lastly bert wurst graduated from intermediate puppy school which can we just start there like yes i can't i can't even look at her little face oh my goodness so darn cute i can't stand it bert is

7:42Speaker 1

so photogenic

7:43Speaker 0

so photogenic just i'm sorry i know i'm like crazy because we talk about bert a lot but he makes me just very happy to see on the timeline and also so they i think it was dan who posted coming soon the arch is coming back i'll also fart caster coming soon the arch is coming back and then you know burt wurst why not why not and then i started you know seriously though seriously for real do you remember clubhouse used to do that i don't know if you were on clubhouse at all during like that brief moment of time when it popped off before twitter spaces existed it was just audio rooms and there was a lot happening around nfts and crypto that happened on clubhouse but they would change their icon in the app store each month to reflect one of the big creators on clubhouse and i was like oh new new reward new reward for the weekly rewards what do you think i think that could be fun so just a thought seems like a lot of work probably won't happen but but how cute is that

8:49Speaker 1

not a priority but adorable but yeah

8:51Speaker 0

but how cute is that

8:53Speaker 1

alright where's clubhouse today

8:55Speaker 0

clubhouse is i think still kicking but not doing anything in terms of numbers it was great tech and it was very interesting and during covid it had a moment it was an a 16 z thing and they took to that like they did a saturday dinner dinner party saturday night dinner party all during covid and it was which one was it i don't know if it was andreessen or horowitz i think it was horowitz his wife like was the host and he was also on there and then there would just be like random really interesting people and it felt like a dinner party like mc hammer would just be up on stage talking about like space i'm not even kidding like that was an actual actual conversation i was like what is happening right now and it was very so it was a lot of fun so it had its moment some new stars were made but then twitter spaces popped off and that was the end of that because it's hard to hard to compete when you have that kind of distribution okay back to the news who and if you're in in the chat and you remember clubhouse shout it out curious if anybody else was in the in the rooms this was the big news from last week this was friday i think this happened celo i think we come out to celo i'm going with celo by the way it looks like it the thing looks like an upside down arch which is kind of funny i know it's a c but it looks like the arch like kind of cool celo is now supported in mini apps and wallet starting today farcaster users can send receive and swap any asset on the celo blockchain the celo team will be offering an airdrop to a group of farcaster users later today you'll get an in app notification if you're eligible check the cast below for seller builder starter pack and information for developers so this was really a cool flow and i had i had mentioned this and then linda had commented back because once you claimed the airdrop it had a link right into the thread with everywhere you could use the airdrop i didn't see my notification at first and then all of a sudden it was there like i just overlooked it so be careful like sometimes you've got it and you just don't think you have and then this was from linda excited to see the new ecosystems coming into farcaster huge thanks to daniel sloke blochheim for building this celo airdrop tool sophia and the wonderful cello team ted on community work and the day one cello mini app builders and lots more and one of those mini apps was this one this was really kind of fun made a new quiz app for the cello launch a personality quiz that made me they made me take during a google internship a decade ago then they told me i got the answer wrong i got the wrong answer flo find yours which is really funny like what was the right answer

12:02Speaker 1

i don't know but that's everyone on forecaster's orange

12:07Speaker 0

everybody's orange

12:08Speaker 1

everyone's orange so i'm gonna go orange is correct

12:12Speaker 0

but maybe that's not what they're hiring for at google

12:15Speaker 1

yeah i cracked up because i also had a similar experience with this once like doing trainings it was like a they there was some psychological assessment and they were like there's nothing wrong i mean like everything's right we're just looking to understand and then no there was clearly a right answer

12:31Speaker 0

that's so funny that's really funny so i i yeah i was orange you were orange the other everyone i saw was orange which is energetic spontaneous charismatic and witty of course of course but it just happens that orange is also my favorite color so it's kind of funny but it was a fun little way to play around with cello and use your use your airdrop i used a few different things i minted stuff and played around so that was fun curious to see you know what comes what else comes from that this is from v airdrops are from apps trying to get users if someone is consistently not using apps and selling airdrops i suspect devs will not be excited about sending them tokens unless there is a compelling reason to be convinced that you won't do it this time so this was a quote cast of john furler okay maybe i wasn't clear enough i don't sell any of the airdrops i've received from farcaster they're all just sitting in my warplet and not going anywhere but i don't like having my mini app library full of stuff

13:41Speaker 0

i don't actually use so once i claim an airdrop i'll usually delete the app if it doesn't feel useful to me why would i have well like connect mini app for example same goes for following accounts i don't like following people or products i'm not generally interesting interested in so i think what he was talking about was more the flow and like what the requirements were but also i'm not sure i agree i usually and i think what you'll find is most people once they add a mini app aren't going to take the effort to go if they added it just for the airdrop they're still going to have it there most of the time and then if there's a compelling reason to use it they'll return to it i think that part i understand what he's saying give me just give me reasons to use your thing as well not just monetary

14:30Speaker 1

right well i think this this whole thing came out of like why are some people not getting airdrops

14:35Speaker 0

right

14:36Speaker 1

and the discussion of their you know and and there's different types of airdrops but if you're getting an airdrop and you immediately sell it all and don't use the app yeah even if you are a you know top 10 active forecaster user potential airdroppers and probably why are they giving you a token why are they giving you an airdrop they're ultimately looking for users

14:59Speaker 0

exactly

15:00Speaker 1

and i think what he's saying is it's not so much selling but i don't want it like they want you to use their app but if so if you're constantly removing the app right away that could be indicative of you're not someone who wants to like

15:13Speaker 0

try things

15:13Speaker 1

sell the token but you're not gonna try as much

15:17Speaker 0

but also if you're doing an if you're doing an airdrop i also would encourage you from the other side of and i think that celo did this very well is make sure you have things for people to do if you want them to use your token on your chain in particular

15:31Speaker 1

something yeah

15:32Speaker 0

yeah

15:33Speaker 1

and

15:34Speaker 0

that was a bit of the problem with the walletconnect one the only thing you could do was stake it

15:38Speaker 1

so i thought that walletconnect was good though because it was such a clear of like if if that was what they wanted you to do which was like they just fed you right into staking what's missing is the why it's all the messaging and the storytelling and i think people don't understand how much noise there is out there yeah how many l ones are there how many l twos are there how many different projects are there and not everyone has like we people don't have name recognition yet so you have their attention like

16:11Speaker 0

right

16:12Speaker 1

for one day how are you like

16:15Speaker 0

how are you using that attention

16:17Speaker 1

give them a token and then expect them to go do the research to figure out what this token is used for like you've got their attention you've gotta get your story out

16:26Speaker 0

make the most of it while you have the attention because you're only gonna have it once and so don't blow the shot kind of thing it's you know don't don't i you know i feel like i should break out into hamilton

16:38Speaker 0

i am not throwing away my shot seriously though like make the moment worthwhile to the users and for you to while you have that attention i think that's great advice from you for sure and this was from linda and that same topic these were the first batch of 10 airdrops to farcaster users a 110 k so far early on as projects target potential new high quality users they're factoring in how likely is this user to convert not a retro airdrop sometimes projects choose to exclude users if there have been multiple prior airdrop sales in the past not if you sold one put yourself in their shoes if a user immediately sold multiple prior airdrops they're probably less likely to convert and you can give to another user who is a higher likelihood that said you won't be perma banned forever for selling multiple selling multiple as this is building some data early on and there will be factors that can help outweigh post high quality content use mini apps do on chain transactions and also just a side note on that too each airdrop may have different requirements anyway so they might be looking for different people to do different things at different times team has been slammed but we'll have more infra support on airdrops later on this on list is definitely to show more token info that's why i manually post info for now since it's not built in as farcaster grows and becomes more valuable to target airdrop amounts will naturally be larger too so be a good airdrop recipient and you'll get more and you never know where that's gonna be where that's gonna go and this was from burberry melissa burr if you want to be a good airdrop candidate don't immediately sell the airdrop if you don't like it or it's not worth it simply don't claim it and trigger the negative consequence when you sell it instead wait and see what the market reaction is if this $7 is worth claiming interact with the protocols use their product if you like their product cast about it if you really like it cast open feedback and help the team that gave you free tokens all in all this is an opt in and opt out system as users optimize your behavior to be properly incentivized or simply don't claim and no negative consequences will occur but please stop itching linda about how unfair the negative consequences are if you're just using these air drafts and providing zero value to the project i always like that you get the very nice

19:11Speaker 0

polished professional linda and then you get burr just like brass tacks and i love that about her so much like brass tacks listen if you don't want it just don't freaking claim it and stop you bitching which i kinda love which is amazing so yeah so i think that's you know keep an eye out there's gonna be more we had tody hawk on here earlier i mean when was that friday i don't know what day it is anymore friday and he was super helpful in terms of talking about that as well and they're getting ready to do an airdrop as well so get ready for that coming soon we had some alpha all right a couple more things and then we're going to dive into castout

20:01Speaker 0

here's a quick primer on how warpcast creator rewards work we'll be adding this to the rewards mini app and keeping it updated as the algorithm changes so you can go just take a look at this it does sum up the scores from the top 50 cast score each cast based on engagement and adjust score based on number of followers so in other words your if you have a smaller follower count it doesn't hurt you it actually can be a boost so it's to give those who are newer a little bit of a push so there you go this was something that we casted the other day and i'm curious to see what you think adrienne would you pay for a pro storage unit that gave you longer casts 10 ks characters up to four images or embed per cast profile upgrades links to other socials banner image etcetera for creators this would help level up their content and profiles assume it costs around $10 a month and revenue goes to weekly rewards and my response was this so that's that was my thoughts i don't know what your thoughts are but that was my thoughts immediately was please take my money but also can i have one more thing and that is the ability to tag more than 10 people because that's why i end up doing this weird thread when i'm doing shoutouts for each episode so i'd love to be able to do just two where the first one was you know everybody who we talked about and then the second one was the chatters but instead sometimes i'm doing you know six to get everybody to so thoughts what do you think

21:42Speaker 0

you're you're muted

21:44Speaker 1

sorry i'm very fidgety today agreed i think they should add in a you know if f i d equals 4617 what are you 40

21:56Speaker 0

4167

21:57Speaker 1

4167 okay close then allow infinite number

22:03Speaker 0

of spans tagging please let me just tag everybody

22:07Speaker 1

fgm forecaster

22:09Speaker 0

no

22:10Speaker 1

i think this is this is great i love the idea

22:13Speaker 0

yeah i think it's it makes a lot of sense and the reasons come down to costs is what it comes down to basically and the expenses of the additional images and things like that and storage costs so and most people won't need that some of us are crazy and are already full or getting close to it yet again and have like four storage units

22:34Speaker 1

and you wanna bring the cost of a storage unit as low as possible because right you want to let people join

22:43Speaker 0

right they wanna get this down to to zero essentially right

22:46Speaker 1

and let's if you wanna get that to zero okay well then how are you gonna fund the protocol and right

22:54Speaker 0

then i hope that's the

22:55Speaker 1

right way i'd happily i like the freemium model and i'd happily pay for some extra features

23:01Speaker 0

yep same same same so

23:03Speaker 1

what i what i don't want to be is like the if you don't pay your experience sucks like you have to make sure the baseline kind of basic version is decent and you can you know do everything you need to do and then you know you want to if you could pay for some extra features because you're a power user great

23:22Speaker 0

right yeah i think that's makes a difference i think that's a really good point because there's so many times when the basic is just so bad or you've got twitter you've got ads galore i have multiple accounts and i have one that's premium basic premium whatever that is it used to be really good and it keeps getting worse and then i have other ones that have nothing on them and they are horrible to deal with like i hate it so there's definite definitely make it like baseline good and then power user you know features that we would want and need that other people just probably don't care about at all and they'll be perfectly happy with free yeah alrighty continuing on we've got a couple more quick things may 16 dev update video so bea is now doing videos for each of the dev updates so take a look at this on the agenda with solana farcaster rebrand verifications and snapchain incident that's when snapchain had some had some issues we had some downtime there and things were sort of backed up so a few other thing the solana thing being probably the biggest next thing coming i think is there's going to be a lot more development on solana so there's a whole bunch of things happening with that shortly so transaction support is coming very soon might be this week i think i'm not sure so that's exciting to see this from ted this is a little long but very useful one of my only requests to farcaster as more users join and react to reactivate building from zero on any platform is hard and can feel extra hard when it seems there's already a strong in group as it seems here if someone joins or rejoins and says it's hard to grow here or that engagement is tough i encourage you to find truth in it before getting defensive or snarky alright the latter isn't going to keep anyone around but the former might i feel like mom is like scolding us but in a in a good way i mean that would love are you

25:41Speaker 1

have you been snarky she's not talking to you

25:43Speaker 0

no i know but i don't know maybe i you know what i have been but just in my head not in an actual cast the latter isn't going to keep anyone around but the former might i would love to see farcaster lean in and embrace new and reactivated users by replying to new users as much as you expect them to reply to you sharing oops sorry my thing's going up sharing what's worked for you or others if you see someone share their struggles and acknowledging it doesn't take it does take time and effort make someone feel heard not unwelcome or inadequate we want farcaster to grow let's be the reason someone sticks around and not the reason they leave and i love this down below shout out to kekkers matthew b brad q afrochicks garrett and many more who are really good at engaging with all users i have moments of snarky that mostly stay in my head like when and it's not new users for the most part unless they're very spammy and obviously bots or whatever you know when they're just like basically stealing other people's casts and recasting them like no not even recasting but like top casting them but every once in a while i'll see somebody who is comes back and i'm always a if they're a big account on crypto twitter i'm always a little hesitant because like what why are you here now oh you heard we're getting money you know like what i'm just very i guess jaded it's the worst i'll be better

27:22Speaker 1

i'll try to be better you're human

27:25Speaker 0

be a little better yeah

27:28Speaker 1

do you find it easier if you're like if you're seeing new people who don't have audiences elsewhere

27:33Speaker 0

yeah no no problem whatsoever yeah i'm i'm very i think i'm pretty encouraging and if they're you know sort of what you call like the friend of a friend like somebody introduces them then i'm gonna be even more so follow them you know try to reply things like that you know so i'm not i'm just i'm just kind of kidding but there's been moments there's been a couple that i'm i'm just not really interested in engaging with you know who you are anyway moving on this was helpful this is from moe starter pack feeds new mini app to view feeds from any starter pack here's a feed from the independent journalist starter pack by ted independent journalist dash g i n s e nine or check out the homepage to see a list of curated starter packs want a custom feed of a set user create a starter pack in warpcast and view it here so super helpful i think that's a great way to use starter packs and that way you can kind of have this custom feed and just see all those things so love that this from our friend ryan of the creators every creator on base is invited to a global pizza party twenty twenty five the creators is partnering with pizzadao and own the doge to invite all artists musicians and creators in the base creator directory to the bitcoin pizza day creator party we're cooking up chaos for the most legendary food order in crypto history create a meme music track or piece of art celebrating bitcoin pizza day may 22 and the deadline is may 21 tomorrow follow the creators pizzadow and onthedoge for information and check out this cast from ryan so lots of fun things on the line there to win this i'm really interested to hear your thoughts on far con twenty twenty six has officially interesting use of word been decided by the farcaster community and the results were shockingly closed see all see you all at farcon rome next year here's to the urby eth crew accepting this large responsibility limone zero x caso it's mighty dot eth and you and then here's to farcon tokyo twenty twenty seven yuki okay so there were 140 probably 153 votes i think in this in this i never actually didn't even see it and then this was from limone me and the irby youth crew are all in no hesitation we're thrilled to bring farcon to our city and grateful to everyone who voted for rome for the past three years we've been bootstrapping the italian builders ecosystem from the ground up and farcon will only take that to the next level more coming soon and then one more thing and then i'm gonna chat about this pulling up to farcon like so apparently moon poppy is gonna be in his best popeware that should be fine pulling up to farcon like this your farcaster rome fits and then pulling up to farcon like this from horsefax with a little bit of zoolander but also one more thing here force horsefax and llamifax met finally so this could be them you know this could be us there you go okay so adrienne farcon rome thoughts

31:13Speaker 1

well you're saying it it's it's been decided

31:18Speaker 0

officially apparently

31:20Speaker 1

okay this is giving i have this happened last year reminded me of what happened last year after farcon which is farcon happens everyone is so excited people have to immediately know where the next one is so we can start looking forward to something and there's always excitement the beauty of far con so far with the three is it's been a different group of volunteers organizing it each year it has slightly different flavor every year so i think it's beautiful what happened last year i is i i think there's a little bit of confusion around what it means to run a community organization that is kind of it's a permission is it permissionless the brand is the brand you know like who owns it

32:04Speaker 0

yeah

32:05Speaker 1

and if you remember last year people kind of quickly jumped into like which city is gonna take it i think tokyo took it launched a token to like raise money right away

32:17Speaker 0

yeah

32:18Speaker 1

borrowed some branding and some design people organized you know took offense and there's a little bit of a i mean i have not seen the published how to do farcon right it's like everything's kind of you're we're creating it as we go but

32:36Speaker 0

building the plane while we're flying yes

32:38Speaker 1

so there is some element of like people it's like if you step up and show leadership you can take it but

32:48Speaker 1

i don't know if that's exactly how it works exactly in reality so yeah i think it's like i think it's super cool to see the the rome crew and just like even europe in general i'd love to see more kind of global style conferences and meetups yeah but i wouldn't book your flight yet if you have

33:11Speaker 0

i i you know we'll see how it all plays out

33:16Speaker 0

when i'm thinking about this from my perspective and and i can think about this from anyone in europe i i think there absolutely should be multiple farcons period like especially if you don't want them to be 2,000 3,000 4,000 people then that's the only way to scale this and have it still have a little bit of that cozy vibe so you know 400 to 500 is a good number because it's big enough to accommodate quite a few people but also small enough that you can actually still talk with a lot of those people you're not going to get to everybody but you're still going to have a better experience in terms of being able to connect and actually feel like you're you're meeting you know your friends that you've met online kind of thing so the way i kind of see or i hope this plays out is that we have multiple and that they happen at the same time and then we somehow connect those digitally where maybe you have a keynote from dan and broon that's happening in palm springs or something and it's being beamed over to rome and it's being beamed to tokyo and wherever

34:29Speaker 0

so that's kind of i don't know just my 2¢ we'll see how everything plays out there's also some discussion of like maybe it's time for merkel to be more involved especially now that they have a little bigger crew you know it wasn't gonna happen when it was dan and barone in any way shape or form or dan and barone and engineers also not gonna happen but dan and varun engineers linda and ted you know now it's possible so it's you know we'll we'll see we'll see how that plays out as well so you know i honestly am just not sure like i can't i don't know i have to i need details before i decide whether or not i'm going to rome for for far con i'm highly unlikely to i have to be honest and and not because i don't want to go to rome cause i'd love to but i can't imagine that that's going to work out for my schedule with children and such so we'll see especially next may because i have a kid graduating and stuff so we'll see but it's it's always fun to see people getting excited and i think far con rome would be incredible and amazing and limone and crew are you know great stewards for something like that so yeah absolutely they've done lots of hackathons and stuff like that there so they have a good good handle on some of it so all right anything else anything else from the news before we move over to casio

36:09Speaker 1

i think we covered it

36:10Speaker 0

all right awesome

36:14Speaker 0

let's talk about the ponder challenge so i'm gonna pull this up here oh i gotta change my background we're shifting we're shifting to cast

36:28Speaker 0

that we're shifting to cast out and we we have to dive in and talk about the ponder

36:39Speaker 0

the ponder challenge was really fun so for those who may have missed it and don't know what we're talking about this is cast out this is a survivor inspired competition game actually it's survivor and a couple other games inspired which you'll start to see starting today and it's pitting eight different tribes when we started 40 players they're all competing in challenges and then also there's some voting that's happening but we just had our last vote so there's that okay so let me bring this back up again

37:19Speaker 0

so we had

37:22Speaker 0

we had the ponder challenge each tribe had to create a ponder predictive poll by last night and the poll with the most votes won immunity so we had five different polls up all of them were featured so the pondir team did manage to they were a little slow getting one of them up because there was a limit on five they finally got all five of them up there so they're all still i think featured at the top of the pondir mini app so you can see them all if you still want to make your make your bet make your prediction because some of these have a pretty good sized pool of funds in them i'll explain that in a moment but we had from the maya tribe if dgen goes to 10¢ will you diamond hand or paper hand i of course answered diamond hand what's interesting is they went back and forth on what images to use in the ponder bowl and they i personally think they had better images that they didn't use and they talked themselves out of it this is some of the things that kills me when i'm in the group chat i'm just like no you're going down the wrong way you were right you were right the first time but that's okay i don't know if it would have made that much difference and then from cast me outside what's most annoying hangry hangover i can't even read the rest of it too hot too cold so that was you know kinda just a very fun basic one you had a most likely to succeed from good news tribe that was so funny and included bert and of course i voted for bert just if bert is in your poll i'm probably voting for bert like let's just you know line that up right now but i thought that was funny because first of all that picture of dan looks like it could have been from high school and it was probably last year or something looks like he could have been a picture from his high school and then kate kaval and tldr in there as well which i thought was very smart so very cute and then in an alt universe who is the best cofounder for v ted peachy jeff goldberg or bert wurst

39:32Speaker 1

bert

39:33Speaker 0

bert obviously obviously and the winners of our ponder challenge were lil socking who their ponder poll was which project has the best community and it was farville dgen hire or nouns i actually voted for dgen on this one this still hasn't hasn't finished up yet but i i really felt like this was smart in terms of let me pick communities against each other mhmm and the thing to get attention the other smart thing they did was they seeded this thing with like a $100 right it's a start i was like what are you doing you crazy people so next time we might need a limit on this one because i did not again you didn't expect that again the players do something i don't expect because why would you do that

40:34Speaker 0

yeah they go hard they always go harder than i anticipate so that was a lot of fun here's where we stand right now oops nope that's not where we stand right now here are our sponsors prize full sponsor lil' noun style that's why it is cast out lil' island octon who we love and we're gonna talk a lot more about they have a ton of stuff going on we are gonna catch up on all that tomorrow octant also sponsors is a premier partner with gm broadcaster purple one of our prize pool sponsors thank you so much purple we love you and dgen has been our reward sponsor so

41:20Speaker 0

that's that

41:23Speaker 0

we're gonna jump into our vote and then i'm gonna explain we have two challenges left and i'm gonna explain today's but also kinda just preview and what's happening tomorrow but here is our vote are you ready any guesses ready no okay here we go first vote is for purple

41:47Speaker 0

second vote cast me outside i don't know who's in our chat here i think jackie's in there oh dramatic music i know i needed some dramatic music purple two votes purple one vote cast me outside

42:06Speaker 0

purple and purple and i'm sorry purple but you have been voted off the island i'm sorry purple purple it's painful when one of our sponsors voted off the island i'm sorry

42:24Speaker 1

this is purple needs to win purple needed to win immunity

42:28Speaker 0

they really did it was pretty vital for a couple of them and this is why i was like oh don't look at this yet because i forgot that i i i highlighted the ones that are still in i forgot to uncheck purple as still in but i did unhighlight them so cast me outside good news lil' sau gang and maya are still in it and there is no doubt in my mind zero that if lil' sau gang didn't win immunity they were gone because why wouldn't you take them off they won everything get rid of them i will say there was a tribe who voted for lilsaw gang to get out the other day that was the right move but it needed more work so from a survivor perspective you needed to build trust with them tell them you weren't gonna vote for them get everybody to vote for them and hope they don't use their immunity idol and get rid of them because they're they're gonna take you out however things are changing today so we've got a little bit of a shift we got a little bit of a shift as to what's happening for this for this particular next challenge and here's a little intro to the next challenge

44:00Speaker 0

okay it's an amazing race so also a fan of the amazing race also a fan of a couple of other

44:09Speaker 1

also i've never also have never watched that show either of course

44:11Speaker 0

you haven't you would love that show they you would absolutely love that show i think they went to mongolia one time they just travel the world so teams of two you can play with whoever it's usually like you know married couple brother and sister friends whatever and they go do challenges all around the world and go to really cool places and it's really fun so that is one actually i think you would like that the best of all the competition shows to be honest so today there's gonna be seven challenges there are seven poaps that will open up one each hour from 1pm to 7pm and i'll be dropping all of the players who remain into one chat i will at the top of each hour i'll drop a clue and the first two tribes there are only two po apps available two minutets per po app and the first two tribes to grab them will keep themselves in the game you're gonna your goal is to get the most poaps that you can and the top two tribes will go on to tomorrow there's no more votes there's no more immunity this is it we're down to what i call the halving this is the having so only half of you will be left so half the tribes will be leaving today and then tomorrow there's one final challenge head to head and then that's it we'll have a final tribe the final tribe will have one last task that we'll need to compete in but the final tribe will will split the bulk of the prize pool equally and there'll be a part of it that will be determined by a challenge so that's what's going on for the next three days so today players who are left in the game i'll be dropping you into a chat shortly and yeah half the tribes are still sleeping true story they gotta wake up they have about forty five minutes to wake up oh that's right i forgot i think we talked about that sparks she auditioned to be on the amazing grace you'd be perfect for that that is a perfect perfect competition game for you because you you would if you would love that i'm sure that would be amazing for you so today you only have to do this from the convenience of your phone or your over your computer so we're gonna see who comes out on top but both all of these challenges so essentially it's a race that kicks off every hour and it could last minutes or it could last the whole hour we'll we'll see i expect it will happen very quickly very very quickly

46:56Speaker 0

wait you were on american gladiators sparks how did i not know that is that true is that true or you just oh jen did two oh wow cool

47:07Speaker 0

so yeah i'd love this is gonna be fun this also is a way to get like seven other touch points on farcaster in one challenge so it's very hard to create challenges for some of these apps so we went in a little differently so they're part of this oh jen i thought you meant smart that makes so much more sense that makes a lot more sense it makes more sense than sporty would be on american gladiators but i don't know you're pretty fit jc you might have been able to pull that off as well but amazing race makes a lot more sense alright so that's it to the players i will be with you shortly i'm gonna be dropping you all in a group chat and explain more of these rules for today's challenge tomorrow we will be back for what time are we on tomorrow are we doing regular park i have no idea what's going on
