i really hope you have a second background that you can cycle to so i i don't crack up looking at your oh

okay we should explain the background before i go any further because it's just freaking hilarious so yeah okay so brian johnson cast or tweets this picture and people start meming it and saying they're gonna buy the outfit and all this but then moonpapi actually buys the outfit like what the hell

do we know he didn't have the outfit

i don't know he might have i have no idea it's possible

if you've met moon poppy one

he could've right he probably did yeah so then i had to throw a poll up who wore best and it was you know

the easiest poll i've ever

okay participated in social prediction social prediction easiest social prediction ever he won it by 79 to 20 which is you know 81 to 21 i mean brian jay came in there but yeah that was a easy win easy win we love ponder yes love ponder so funny this just cracked me up so that's my background just to explain what the heck is going on there and yes i do have another one that i can cycle to

no you can keep it i kind of love i kinda love it poppy looking over your shoulder and

hilarious it's hilarious i love it i'll leave it for a little bit longer anyway actually i will switch it out because we have to talk about crypto the game

i have questions too yes to crypto claims to make $7 can you set your you can can you bet a different amount

i don't know if you can bet a different amount

i thought it was

oh like yeah you can you can it's a like it starts at 50¢ and then you can yeah you can scale it up

so you get a larger percentage i think

i'm such an amateur

i am as well

because i too could have made $7 if i had known

this was easy it's almost easy

instead i think i made like a

i actually spent like i think 20 or 30 i don't even remember what i set it at but i spent money to do this so there you go just just for the i will go far for the meme well it's no question and that was just way too funny had to do it so thank you moon poppy for the for the lulls we appreciate you

okay so wear that to farcon

i had lunch with someone yesterday who didn't know who brian johnson was so i was just explaining the whole yeah don't die phenomenon so there's people who don't know

there's people there's people who don't know it's kinda funny like you don't even i know i was thinking i was talking to i think it was my brother who's very like into like health and wellness it was just surprising to me that he hadn't heard of that mhmm but yeah there's a lot of people even with the there was a whole documentary that you can go watch i think it's on hbo or max or whatever yeah or is it netflix i forgot but i watched it and it was really interesting excellent i loved it a different like perspective of him so little less crazy than i originally thought so

oh no no no no no no

little less i said little i said little less i really thought he was crazy

i was like i'm not crazy different crazy and i think he's doing a service to humanity so thank you very much

yeah you don't have to do what he does but you can learn from it anyway there's there's lessons to be learned yeah i should probably recast your recast alright moving on we have we have news and we have to talk about crypto the game because we're both playing now if you recall on monday you heard adrienne say she would not be playing spoiler alert she's playing narrator and then she chose to play so how's it going for you how's the you're on the blue tribe how's the blue tribe doing

vibes on the blue tribe are immaculate really yeah love blue tribe there are a lot of farcaster

people oh okay

so it feels friendly and comfortable in my little corner of my tribe my my my tribe within a tribe interesting

we heard some drama that there was some little blue yellow drama i don't know

but might

have been a rumor

although also sounds manufactured i have natasha and dina in blue so we are stacked on livestream podcasters

hi and i am over on the orange tribe i am the only livestream podcaster

there was talk about like how what's our voting strategy and i did suggest you should not vote off the livestream anyone with a livestream podcast because you can use us and i don't know how but

there's a way there's a way there's value there

it's obviously highly organized so it's a

yes blue blue blue tribe is organized

shockingly organized yeah oh same thing with orange

it's only been two days it's only been two days

so so same thing with orange like incredibly organized and i'm like wow these people are on it we have like quite a few people who have played before so they've just you know they had a spreadsheet within ten minutes they were like rolling i mean it's like very organized i'm shocked we came in second apparently yesterday in the challenge we missed like i i think we were ten minutes behind pink or something so but i couldn't believe how quickly they got it they got it so fast it was i was in the chat and i'm going wait what where are you what it was like because they kept jumping like oh this isn't working go to this and it was just incredibly quick so

and we also got it fast yeah so the question is is there cross tribe intel as one tribe is solving puzzles like it just

possibly possibly i don't think so i don't think so from what i saw like i don't think our tribe had outside intel

i saw puzzle solvers

yeah because just the way they were breaking it down i didn't see anything that looked out of the blue mhmm and it was definitely nothing obvious if anyone did get outside intel they kept it really down low because i didn't

did not appear that way it appeared like oh my god these people are smart like they just

like a good little spy they are i mean

yeah they could be a really good spy it's possible but i didn't feel that way while i was living it it just felt like wow these people are good because they it just it moved very logically it didn't nothing came out of the blue and it was we were i'm pretty sure we were second so that's the other thing like we were pretty close to when the first tribe got it so that's why i don't think so but i'm sure other tribes absolutely because i think everyone missed the part where it was only one tribe was gonna get immunity so i feel like we thought we all had to solve it it was not the case so pink won immunity congratulations pink here's what it was by the way the this was the challenge so this we logged in at noon there was a little delay this pops up and immediately i was like twitter id it's gotta be a twitter id a lot of people are like twitter id okay let's figure out and there was a few red herrings other people went in other directions it was like pretty sure it's a twitter id

we all like went down that rabbit hole found the account there's an account that helped you unlock it from there there was this puzzle people started analyzing this banner so it went to that next and i was throwing that image into chat and chat gbt was like giving me a whole bunch of things it did it did get into the tetragrams it found it figured that that was one option but it also went down this road of like morse code so some people are going morse code some people are going there was one other thing so there was like all these different possibilities but this was led to a seed phrase so the seed phrase was found then the account was found then the e n s was the e n s was found and it was a unicode notation so the person who came up with it in our tribe was martin and i was like that makes perfect sense because if you don't know noggles and the higher arrow that you see will come from unicode so it's like people who are familiar with unicode might have like it might have clicked for them but if you weren't you it didn't even occur to me like this is the part that like didn't occur to me and then they find the symbol the symbol is for resurrection and then if you put that in it showed you that you got it so pink tribe solved it first they want immunity so congratulations pink tribe unichain really likes the pink tribe and here's what i thought was interesting i don't know if you caught this but winnie asked how did you how do you come up with these puzzles how did you come up with this puzzle and dylan said with a lot of help from shlums

oh that tracks

yeah doesn't it like when i heard i was like oh so for those not familiar shlumps is the one who likes to try and break warpcast or he did early on on purpose

yeah purposefully go look at his account i think it's still i think it's still messed up on purpose but i thought that was really interesting there's one more other interesting thing do you see this right here we're playing games today are we playing farcade is the question

see you all tomorrow at 12pm eastern for the next immunity challenge followed by a joystick which could just be you're playing a game

we're playing a game

it's hard to not see the joystick and immediately go farcade

we immediately thought farcade immediately i was like farcade but probably not it's probably just a video game built into the website is my guess and they've done that before like that was a lot of the challenges last time so that's my guess but wouldn't it be fun if it was farcade we'd have a little advantage as long as it's not black hole i love my tribe that's us we're very happy the orange tribe so great tribe i'm very happy with my tribe i don't really know many people but i'm getting to know them so martin's on my tribe cj's on my tribe so there's a couple people i know couple others from farcaster but mostly it's new people but it's been fun they're all good vibes and i love this for america pov you survived night two of crypto the game the clouds have just broken to let the sun through after a cold rainy day you find the last hard cider in the special garage beverage fridge that's colder than the house fridge you crack it open and hear the slight fizz of release you take the first ice cold sip and sigh content to have survived blessed to have received another day on the island just what a lovely sentiment so there you go also what happened was it was also resurrection island so the first player who was out in the first vote the first player in this challenge who individually got it was let back in and it was matthew so this is really funny from alina just for shits and giggles because we're all homies aqua tribe you know throwing matthew out the door and then matthew coming back behind him the simpsons meme which i thought was really funny so very well done

to see matthew back

i am too and chompix is back he's he's doing some homework so but he is he's still in it and he survived another day and he'll be streaming and if it's a gaming day it'll be fun to watch him stream the game so go check him out if you're not following him also we mentioned at the top boysclub is doing is doing their thing every night at 9pm and i am tuning in live it's really fun so if you wanna catch up on what's happening with crypto the game do that but also there's a tip line so if you have a tip that you wanna submit anonymously there you go if you have a tip about crypto the game alright anything else how you ready for today

just like cast out it can be all consuming i feel bad for people that are not in a friendly time zone

yeah there's people that are up it's like they're waking they're setting alarms to wake up at 2am

to vote yeah so i'm i'm thankful that

i don't have to do that same it's yeah you really gotta commit if you wanna come in you can kinda coast in

for a little bit a little bit yeah if you're participating and you're helping early on like we just voted out people who were who weren't there they weren't showing up they weren't active they were selling tokens whatever you know like yeah they weren't really

playing it's still easy now

it's easy for us right now

out it gets harder yeah yeah and the cast out experience i think was helpful learned a lot with so thank you for that and yeah it's just fun

it's just fun yeah i'm having fun i'm having a blast and i mean you know there's some new folks i haven't met before and it's fun so yeah having a good time enjoy it and because you know the rest of the world is going to hell so we might as well have fun let's all have fun alright moving on there's some other things happening on the timeline besides cast out i swear but i do think it's funny going back to this for really quick i do think it's funny that

i don't have it actually here but i'm just gonna put this up for a second that oxen was like everyone's gonna disappear during cast out i mean during during crypto the game because that's what's happened the past couple times because it was mostly on twitter and not this time and i said i don't think so i think there's a lot of people playing this time who are on farcaster and they're gonna be this is where they primarily mess it like post so you're gonna see a lot of it and that's what's happened so that's kinda fun to see the shift where it's not all about crypto twitter this time so like it been fun alright moving on

farcaster

news yes farcaster news blockheim question for y'all how do you discover new frames is this working what would you change what makes you engage with it or add it as always any and all feedback is welcome just comment below so if you have a comment here go add it in

throw throw your comment in here and say how you discover frames how do you discover frames adrienne

literally people sharing them on the feed yeah is the only way so if i see someone share a frame i'll be like oh

that's interesting

yeah frame

yep that's same for me occasionally i'll flip through the frame explore i haven't done that in a while but early on i was doing that and occasionally if i'll if i'll see some like these are all gonna be my pinned ones but occasionally i'll go flip through and just see if there's anything interesting but most 99% of the time somebody shared it and it was in my feed so in other words if you're creating frames share them in your feed and if they're really fun

and get your friends to share

share them with us yeah this from horsefacts only frame builders read this people are literally asking you on the timeline multiple times a day for ways to spend their money

i wanna spend this 25 this is in response to emma i wanna spend this $25 on farcaster eco products coins etcetera how should i spend it so if you wanna give recommendations to emma she should spend her money there you go

oh did we ever did we let did we invite you to our hypersub we should

we should we haven't should

way to spend on chain funds

it is that's a great point it's been yeah because i have done the same like i haven't i haven't offloaded my rewards they're just in my warplet and i've used the morpho frame to get yield on some usdc i've thrown it into various meme coins pick a meme coin i've thrown some in i'm kinda just holding some right now waiting for like the next meme coin or the next thing that i wanna buy i've spent some on balloons in balloon pop which i would have spent more by the way right would have absolutely spent more yeah so all those fun things i've been spending on so yeah like if you're if you're and i think there was a cast from dan a couple weeks ago you know tuesday 1pm is a good time to launch something so because people have money to spend so we've got a little economy going it's kind of fun this economy is actually on the way up as opposed to other economies at the moment this from robin glad to hear our frame template has been useful for balloon pop i just pushed some improvements to the repo if you're new to frames and need a sounding board i'm happy to help so that was cool i didn't know this this is in response to okay who created balloonpop saying a special thanks to robin for open sourcing frame wizard which really helped with producing the share the share image so there you go check that out and speaking of people just handing out money you wanna talk about this what happened here

okay so last week shane mac casted they wanted to give away $2,500 in honor of international women's day so he did a little engagement farming wink to ask people to nominate women or or people for it i did link there's a link i wrote a blog post about this so i linked there's it you should read the the the whole people talking about the women that have lifted them up and supported them it's a it's a really nice cast so kudos ivy nominated me which i'm

aw humbled thank you ivy no

and and and i guess the women at xmtp read the stories and chose me so i just found $2,500 in my wallet in my warplet in your warplet yeah

it just came just showed up it just it

just showed up so

so thank you for that guys and i was trying to figure out what to do with the funds besides besides pocket it besides take it and run and i'd love to figure out so so i came up with five different i potential ideas for what to do with it and kinda how to reinvest and amplify more women i wrote a blog so would love people's feedback on ideas or if you have other ideas

so jump in here and read the paragraph post and see what you think love it this is so fun to think

yeah i was thinking of like either farcon travel scholarships for women

just like charity donations decided by a community

brad i really like brad's story about his mom it was like really touching yep so then i had the idea of actually giving it to brad to fund his mom but then getting brad who's been doing all this great kind of curation and farcaster work

help us with a newsletter so yeah kind of the other thought was do we just fund gm farcaster because i think women are so easy to like the initial thing is just give give give and that was my initial thought but does it help us do things so i i honestly don't know so it's sitting there and i'm curious for ideas because

so three comments on it what do you think yeah yeah i know it's nice it does feel like sometimes found money should be like put to work you know what i mean rather than like let me go buy a new pair of shoes something you know what i mean like should be like i don't know that's kinda how i think it's like let me put it to work somehow

shoes is not like yeah that's the thing is i just who wants shoes

well while you're holding it throw it in the morpho frame and start earning some yield

maybe i should do that this is actually

i only buy eggs

you might have enough i don't know if it's enough naomi i'm not sure may not be enough

and and this is it yeah this is a great idea i will do that so i'll morph i'll morpho it up earn yield and then we'll figure

it out

right in your wallet right in your warplet yeah there you go and but it's really nice yeah that was very very nice

you can look

at the anti airdrop lady i'll take that

yeah right the anti airdrop rate lady gets random airdrops

but i also wrote a little i i like i really am not loving the the complete anti dei like meta mhmm it's just like yeah so it was a nice recommitment like just i i like just thinking about i've like been a long time supporter of women

and as a woman myself

as a woman

long time supportive of a look at

me and see me as a womb but i'm so much more i'm so much more than that

i i love this i thought it was great it was so nice see and it was it sorta like came out of nowhere and it was really great to see that happen i do see our guest popping in so let's we're gonna run through a few more news things and then jump into it we need to get ben ursing on here to explain this more but i'm gonna share this excited to share something that's been in the works for a while farcaster has long needed a native investment group now it's here meet crossroads the farcaster native angel group investing in and amplifying the next generation of founders apply to join or seek funding at crossroads.sourcebook.app follow crossroads at slash crossroads for updates and opportunities to get involved so this is something adrienne and i have been a part of during this sort of beta phase where like i'm basically just we've been amplifying some of the farcaster businesses that are being built and being invested in and adrienne's actually been diving in a little bit more into that so anything else you wanna i think we need to just get ben on here and do like a whole thing about this yeah

and all i'd love to say is this is kind of like his public announcement of this thing that we've been slow slowly working on but this goes back to like early early like probably two years ago maybe two and a half years ago when we're like oh there's a lot of people building on farcaster there's an opportunity to

invest in them

probably for angel investing and and and

so it's just it's you you you can't rush things so yep it i i you know it's like and and you can't necessarily put capital work all right away so this has kind of been slow going but consistently and building and there's a great group of people and kind of this initial crossroads community so yep it is i'm i'm excited about it and we should get back on

yep for sure so if you have any interest in this either as an investor or as a founder go check this out or everyone should just go check it out because it's really interesting do you wanna shout this out this there is a new farcon.nyc site and links has cracked me up look there's even a little jeff goldberg at the bottom watching from afar they thought of literally everything that was funny but this is very cool very cool new design for the farcon site go check that out more coming on that soon gotta talk about the rewards leaderboard results for this week welcome to the journal cabal there are thoughts on this brad continues we say it with love it gets harder as you go kaufman and warpcast finished one warpcast warpcast finished one and four li fang number seven you may be surprised that the cabal got infiltrated pretty well by erica number two with their fire fits and her own purple vibe esty is number three farcon and vibe life triumph number six also part of vibe tribe killing it garrett is becoming a top 10 regular number nine jihad likewise number 10 ryan grimm made a late surge to number eight cashing 300 on his first days trying to defeat crypto funny as heck

bitcoin is the least confusing i think maybe but also make sure you tell them that that feeling of confusion is like totally normal get used to it and enjoy it because like they won't be confused about bitcoin in a few more sessions but there's gonna be something else they're gonna see in life that's gonna confuse them and don't run from that

100% let me just i'm just going flipping through to make sure i didn't miss anything big there's a few things that are gonna end up in our didn't get to but this was yeah this was me yesterday back to school so and it was fun i have it's eight week class this time so we're flying through it they have to do a lot of work you know beyond class hopefully if they really wanna get it and there'll be those who are really into it and they'll you know dive in and there'll be the others who just are taking it because they thought it was gonna be easy elective and are about to be very shocked that maybe not so i'll be i'll be chatting about this as we go along

and anything else really quick that i may have missed that's vital before we bring up our guest

no but i just noticed while our guest has been waiting in the wings he just deployed three new frames

shut the fuck up

no i'm just kidding

i thought you would i thought i you were completely serious

no i'm just kidding i don't he did maybe he did

but i i was like that would not surprise me at all alright well let's bring up jc4p and is it kasra kasra

kasra kasra

kasra kasra welcome i didn't wanna keep calling you j c four p

no worries yeah

but first can we start there what does that mean

oh my goodness that is such an embarrassing question to start with it's my initial gmail that i made when i was i think 12 i love it it's actually kind of held up well it could have been a lot worse it stands for john cena for president yeah

that's funny

there's a lot that could have gone wrong but he's still that good pop culture thing and he does a lot of like i think he has the most make it wish things of any human being and stuff so ever it really works out if there been any other wrestler would have been a lot worse but i think

it's good the rock would have held up you know i think either one of those you were safe with anybody else not

yeah but yeah so that's just been what i've been using because it's a short username and i get to take it on each site because

it's all set i never in a million years would've guessed that like no way that's just hilarious

yeah john c nay for president at g mail dot com was my first g mail oh my god

i love that that's so spam

you now did you just i haven't checked it forever

haven't checked it in like a decade

you wanna check and just be like yeah you know you you never know he might be running soon

that would be funny you're you're gonna be all set up if he ever decides to run more it's likely the rock will run but you never know yeah so that's so funny

well linda mcmahon's the head of department of education so it's all it's all happening

it's all happening what timeline are we in it is all happening amazing so been loving watching your journey adrienne i'm gonna where do you wanna start like where do we start well like this has been so fun

yeah let's just start with intro so keckers is a farcaster og loves and knows keckers like universally loved how and then she brought you on you literally just like exploded with frames and no i just love to hear kind of how how you found farcaster

so it's actually funny yeah i've i've been on kasra for a very long time on twitter because we have a lot of shared mutual friends like in different mutual friends groups her best friend in austin is someone i've been friends with since 2012 and i met her for the first time when she was in la for farcon last year oh and then we were having lunch and she was telling me about it and i was like this doesn't make any sense she's like no you don't get it i'm making money and i'm like this doesn't i don't understand what you're talking about and then a year later we were working on a project together and she was like this will need a frame integration in it and i was like alright can you finally invite me to farcaster so i can see what frames are and then i kind of fell in love with it yeah

that's amazing so are you you have dev background do you have a crypto background

no i in 2020 during covid and stuff i got really into solidity i really like new programming languages so i tried out all the solidity stuff my one of my best friends who is a mutual friend with keckers runs the runs stacks which is a bitcoin l two so i have always been involved in that community i really like it but my mindset on it is like i my uncle asked me like ten years ago if we should buy bitcoin and i told him no and then he's been giving me shit about how bad of a decision that was so i've just been like i'm not gonna touch that but a 10 foot pole yeah but i really like the programming aspects of it and smart contracts and all of that so

so when i say yeah like just don't notice when i say crypto inclusive of all the

cryptography i should say not necessarily cryptocurrencies

and that was part of what i was talking about last night i was getting into like the computer versus the casino and talking about like there's technology here that goes way beyond just the coins and it's fun to see people who are coming for that you know that's really fun

yeah yeah it's really fun one of kickers and i's mutual friends in austin her best friend is she used to be a core bitcoin programmer and she got into it because i remember when she got into it she was like wow the the curves and the epileptic curves are so fun and then i was like yeah they are fun and then she now does bitcoin training events and everything yep

by the way you're yeah j c four p you might wanna check your email your gmail

if i know the password yeah

i thought that was funny i love this that sounds good

that you learned do you like solidity

i love solidity it's really fun there's been a lot of upgrades in the last five years the last time i was using it was during covid and now i get to use foundry and forge and stuff and it's really fun and i just love the idea of immutable contracts because you have to think about every single thing you're doing and make sure that you think about every possible way that someone could attack it and yeah it's really fun

i just have to sorry i have to interrupt this conversation to just say that super tight woody is in the audience today and for those who don't know he is the musical creator of our theme song so when you hear that at the beginning and the end that's who created it so welcome woody sorry and back to and back to you back to you adrienne i just happen to notice that very cool

alright frames frames how many frames have you built

at least a dozen i could check for our cell and see how many i've deployed but i think somewhere between ten and twelve they majority of them were collaborations with checkers and a lot of them i just did on my own just because i wanted to get some stuff out of the door yeah

loved this this is super helpful jc4p's fartree like far link like tree or a

tree link tree link

tree link tree geez why am i having issues but i love this so this was great to like see all your info and then all your links here too so very cool little frame that would be helpful to many people so

yeah it's open source it's on replit and then the really nice thing is because it's a static website it's free on replit you don't have to pay anything to launch it so anyone could sign up they could update the code they could make their own and there's no money involved all they have to do is update the images and the text

very cool very very cool what has been your favorite frame so far that you've created oh i mean to hunt one i have to go hunt them down now

cast and cocktails i was really surprised by how much people liked it yes yeah that was like it was on my end it took like three hours to do my work and then keckers did like a day of work on making it pretty and adding the design and stuff but i would just like mhmm things that are really simple to me i'm really amazed when people like them and then the things that are really complicated and then i spend a lot of time working on making a three d game like 10 people play them so it's always the things that like come naturally that get a lot of attention i i think is really good it was also right at the right time of the zeitgeist because everyone was talking about cocktails at that time so we timed it well

that's right yeah that's right there was this like conversation that was happening did that spur that on or was it independent it

just yeah no i text kickers ideas for frames every hour or so and then one of them that we well it was like what about a frame for a cocktail are you and she was like yeah that's timely let's do it and we were like alright let's do it and then the more we did it the more it involved it ended up becoming and embeddings got added into the mixture and yeah

yeah this was very cool i had to scroll to find it because you have too many frames so this is what we need in your far tree is like all links to your

links to all the frames that's a great idea i can definitely add that yeah

that would make it like nice and easy to find the ones that are yours but this is really cool so you got your personal cocktail menu based on your cast so and it was it's so cute

i love that i mean the first version of it was a black screen with white text on it and then kasra was like please please wait until we can make it pretty and i was like alright and it worked out really well

it's really cute and i love the idea i think it's very these are like fun little engagement moments for people like all these different things it's just you know it's buzzfeed quizzes it's that kind of vibe but it's pulling in so is it ai that's sort of analyzing your cast or how is it working

like for each one okay can you talk about

the cocktails one to give us an example and like

the cocktails one basically works on i made a dataset of a thousand cocktails that were a mixture of old and a mixture of like hip new ones i use perplexity's api to get that information and then i had descriptions of them the ingredients list some reviews on them and i ran all of those through an embeddings model to put them in a vector matrix of like 368 dimensions and then what happens after that is it grabs your last 300 cast using the neynar api it calculates the embeddings on your casts and then it does a cross product between those embeddings and the ones from the cocktails so it's actually it's a little bit more involved than the other ones a lot of the other ones are just send your cast to ai and ask it how to rate it but in this one i it's how we got the percentage ratings and stuff is because we were to actually make math involved in it and then figure out how what likelihood are you of being this cocktail versus this cocktail

oh wow this is way more complex than i realized

it was really fun

mind is blown

making the dataset alone was really fun

how long did it take you to do that this one was like a did you say this one was three hours

three or four hours yeah

but i had a lot of code for a lot of the stuff already

okay but that seems really fast

do better do better with your bot

i can't i'm like i'm struggling over here it's

no it's everything builds on top of everything else so like every time i do something like use 90% of the code from the last project to work on it and i add like one other thing into it and

i just yeah i love hearing this because it's like you see the cocktails it's so simple on the front end it's like oh for sure and i love how you have to do all the math in the background because yeah

it's really fun it's really really really fun

this one was fun too i was looking for the enneagram month this one went this popped off and this is like a more like the cocktails one was a little different like i haven't really seen much of that it felt a little more unique this one we see everywhere and it's and it's something people really like to like you know analyze themselves and because we're interested in ourselves most of the time but also find oh who else is like me and that kind of thing so i felt like this one was really really fun was this using like the traditional enneagram data and then comparing it with your cast or

this one was a little simpler this one well first i should say like this and the four temperaments and stuff i i just love anything telling me what i'm like because i have no idea what i'm like and then someone makes an assumption on me and i can be like oh i agree with this or i don't agree with this so i really like that aspect of the personality quizzes and this one because enneagram is a concept that's existed for a long time and the llms are aware of it all i did was oh take your last 500 casts and send it to gemini for this one because it's the fastest and say hey based on these what enneagram type do you think this person would be and it had all of the other information it wasn't like the cocktails one where i had to actually give it the list of the cocktails or the ingredients or anything i just relied on the training of the llm to assume that it would know what it is

yeah that's very cool and it was it was really fun i thought it was super accurate at least for me and and a lot of people i saw so it's

what i really liked about this one specifically was that like i myself am i'm a type two to helper but when you're doing the actual test it's you're thinking about your own personality you're thinking about stuff and when it's about your public posts it's slightly different and it was really cool just to see that like the majority of people on farcaster are enthusiastic and excited and stuff like it it really goes to show the community and i really love that part of

i think for me it was like okay so yeah if you're taking a quiz like this and you're answering you may or may not be giving an authentic answer like you may be so where it's analyzing your cat and it's gonna be and the this can go the other way too

yeah your cats may not be so authentic

by the not be authentic but if you if these things match and it seems like it makes sense to you then it's like you might be a little bit more authentic you you were probably more authentic online than you realize and i for me it was like oh that nailed me completely so there was lots of things like that when i was doing these little quizzes i'm like okay so i guess my casts are reflective of me but also there's gonna be parts that of my life that you're not gonna see anything about on

on social media just because i don't i don't share a lot about the mom side of me and think just because i don't but there's like a lot of most of what my personality you see it's who i am

yeah i also really like it because the the view i have of myself in my head is of like a depressed 21 year old and then i like read the stuff and it's like he's really excited he really likes helping people and i'm like oh i've made a lot of progress

like yeah i love that you're not you're not who you were at 21 who knew

yeah exactly who who knew

who knew of course not yeah i love this and then this one i'm trying to like see you have so many in here do you have a favorite frame that you've created

the four temperaments one went way the one that's like are you caloric or sanguine and stuff

oh right way yes

harder than i thought it was gonna i thought maybe like five people would think that's interesting and then people were starting going to because it's a debunked theory from like 500 bc like when germ theory came out they stopped relying on it so i i really didn't expect the

the like smart community of farcaster to be really into it but i guess people really do like anything that makes assumptions about them or tries to explain how they are or yeah

i think that's just human nature yeah it's very much human nature and we also like to figure out other people

yeah and when people are

sharing their things you're like oh okay

yeah and that one was really good because that was the first one where i actually learned how to do custom share images for kaslan cocktails we just had a static share share image and we did like a second image and then the farcaster team helped us figure out how to actually do dynamic share images which now i'm helping a bunch of other people do so that was really useful

what's a what does that mean

like a dynamic share image share the frame the embedded of the frame having like j c four p is a sanguine and so on instead of just being like check out this frame

gotcha so i made a stupid frame in a few hours vibe coding like pure llm had no idea what i was doing but the chat but my gpt or like copilot had me make a custom image and i was like oh svg like it creates an svg on the fly

yeah no that's awesome yeah it's really cool but it there's there was a lot of there's there are a lot of people who have finished their frame and are stuck on that aspect of it right now and

well i got that and i'm stuck i'm stuck on every other aspect

yeah well you're doing the hard thing too the adding and the minting is really difficult and yeah

i haven't yeah so by the way professor i created a very like a simple frame you saw it

what was that which one was it

the free compliment

oh the free compliment one yeah

yeah and i was like oh i wanted to add on chain element to it it's like well what would you do and it's like okay well here's a free compliment but wouldn't it be fun to send a compliment to someone's wallet like you like a send it to them

right and send so

kasra says oh that's so easy here here's a you know here's a i'm like okay i'm sure it's easy but i can't even approach how to do it so i'm like i need to find like a i i need like maybe two days of like solid time and then i'm gonna sit down and i'm gonna figure it out and then

tell me tell me how you learn best do you learn best by reading or by watching or by doing it yourself or

no just do like tutorial doing like need

time to just do it

do you watch like will you watch a video and do like pause and do or something like that or is or read and do

i tend to read and do uh-huh but i don't wanna sit and read for like i don't wanna know how to do it i don't want the theory i just wanna build it and as i go like learn as i go right

so i have a video on this already so i'll just do a technical write up for it for you or have an llm do it for you

i i cannot have you do that because

no it's too crazy

i cannot i am not the type of person who can accept any help like that it just feels like she's an enneagram whatever

yeah whatever that is you're looking at this with checkers too

yeah yeah it's like i'll do it on my own just give me a lit point me in the direction so like with my bot shout out i got on a phone he was like i'll help you and i got on the phone with him and he was like high level do this and i'm like okay i'm not gonna bother you ever again i will do it me and my copilot will figure it out and just like the direction

i will provide that level of direction for you if you're comfortable receiving that i will provide

of direction

yeah this is and speaking of this is very cool to see hi my goal for this video was to show that anyone who knows basic html css can make a frame i don't really believe that anymore but maybe so it

was so much harder than i thought it's a seventy two minute video

that's but that's i think helpful for folks to know who maybe don't have a coding background at all to be like okay this is harder than you think so be aware yeah

yeah but i think it's also like what i love about frames is i learned to program on a myspace that was like the first time i ever made like html and css and stuff and i was like this is so much fun and the frames barrier to entry is low enough that anyone who's yeah interested can do that and then you immediately get adoption and people start using it so it's kind of like an addictive feeling so i really am incentivized to get like people who don't think they know how to program to try making some at least some very basic simple ones just to get the reps in

and i think for those who do have like some kind of programming background yes they should be able to do this but it might be harder than they think so appreciate that you're building in public that you're sharing your experience because i think that's gonna lead to other people taking some chances and risks and playing around with it that maybe wouldn't so

yeah that video you just showed was that video you just showed was kekker's idea and she tried recording it and she struggled on so many things and then she was like this sucks i can't let people see that i'm not as smart as they think i am and i was like don't worry i'll do it and i will let them see that i'm not as smart as they think i am because i have that privilege yeah

it's fine it's fine to it's fine to show the flaws it's all good we love you anyway but i i think that's just fantastic i love and that to me that's one of the things that i love most about farcaster is people sharing what they're building in public and doing the shitty version and doing the and showing the mistakes and all those things and that's sort of how we built this is by you know starting doing the shitty version first and keep going and keep going and apparently we still are is that yeah correct still under me or we would okay

just checking in this is shitty episode 223

but guess what we've done 223

like yeah no it's all here

yeah we've only got we only have to get to 10,000 and we'll be experts no problem

we should add a frame for this i was literally right before you hopped me on i was going through the streamyard api there are ways of making a frame so you could do direct rtmp live casting inside of warpcast so we should definitely talk about that yeah

so there is a way we could do do it with stream.tb here's the issue and here's why we haven't done done some of that is that we don't wanna sort of split up our chat so what we really want is to be able to put the youtube livestream into a frame which we know can be done yeah it can be done because you can do it with paragraph but you'd have to like relaunch it with paragraph every day and all that stuff so we need some way to do it that isn't too cumbersome

but that'd

be that'd be what i would love to see so that people are still kind of in the same place and it just creates a better conversation and better community so that's just our that's been our our thing we've been trying to like fully figure out but like we'll get there it'll it'll happen

that makes sense that makes sense yeah

but it's it's definitely like we when we share our newsletter every week in the paragraph format like we go into paragraph put it all in and i drop all the links to the videos and you can watch the video right in the frame so it's and i didn't experiment with putting the live in but it wasn't it was like okay this isn't sustainable i can't do this every day but i tried it and i was like oh it does work

it does work

you can see the live in the frame but it's like we need something that's easy like it's you know a couple clicks and we go kinda thing yeah but yeah we'll get there but it's definitely we're getting close to a lot of cool things the other thing people have been asking for is live audio you know on on farcaster so and i know that the farcaster team has been talking about that and trying to figure out something native and all

that stuff i actually have a frame for that already i didn't launch it but i that was one of prototypes that i made was i called it fariscope like periscope but oh interesting just because i was interested in seeing if webrtc worked in a frame so i built a little video and audio chat room in a frame and it works pretty well but it's the the idea of moderating it and maintaining it and all of that stuff is a little not super exciting for me but it like it all works and you could do that all in a frame right now which is really cool

that's very cool well maybe you could just like let the farcaster team know and if they wanna take it over that might be the thing to do

yeah but twitter just did this thursday so it's it's good timing for it they just shut down voice notes yesterday

oh really yeah but they still have spaces like so it's still is that yeah

but you can't post okay audio on your feed anymore

oh weird yeah oh that's weird that's interesting but you can still post video that's interesting so they must have just pivoted may might be a similar thing they don't wanna maintain it

because people aren't using it as much

or it was the reason they crashed mean they'll never know

it could be oh that's good point yeah the timing's interesting

didn't talk about that we didn't cover that the the twitter down

that was on monday

it was after monday yeah was after

our show monday yeah twitter went down and that's why we saw this influx of a whole bunch of people especially who are playing crypto the game sliding on over to farcaster again they're like hi i'm back we're like great hi we're still here like

thank to see that was really cool to see the bump in engagement yeah

yeah it was fun but it was kinda like it's kinda like it was funny like hey we never left stick around this time after after jordan comes back we'd love to have you here yeah exactly scott get him exactly oh

g that's g m

that's g m i thought i said g m that's funny alright so i i love what you've been building adrienne what other questions do you have like i'm sure you have a whole bunch more that i haven't

thought of i've of course i have my lightning round crush question

oh but hold on look at this but by the way oh yeah yeah how is this going

it's going okay i had to switch it over to a monthly model where it's now happening for every month of the year at a time just because getting the 157,000,000 did work but it was 24 terabytes of data which isn't helpful to anyone because no one will be able to pull that in and use it so yeah based on recommendations that some other farcaster users gave me i am i'm now making it so you can download it for january 2024 or december 2020 whatever so you can go and actually do them but the really interesting thing about this one was that it brought a lot of people out on the out on the weeds who were also working on similar projects and they were telling me about how they were doing it and i'm like why is yours not open source like why are you not sharing this stuff with the world what are you doing with them and then most of the times they were like i do nothing with it right now and i'm like give it to people let let them use it like people have ideas for to do stuff yeah that's one of i believe in open source software very very strongly

we need to get and i don't know how but we need to get some folks who are open sourcing things some support there because i'm sure there's a cost involved in this so we need to figure that out that could be a good scout game purple to do or or scout game

yeah you do know about scout game

i'm it is a it's a new

let me see if i can find it real quick

product chris corella i don't know if you've run into chris cruella yet he's an artist and founder of charmverse and

purple purple mhmm purple dial

right his new project or app is called scout game and it's almost like a it's like gaming open source development and you can kind of like bet developers can you can kinda like bet on them and they can like subscribe for bounties it's like a way to kind of pay pay open source developers in a gamified way

oh that's really cool yeah i i actually got on an argument with pichirs about this i have like a moral quandary against accepting money when it comes to open source development like it's a like i do it for fun and for love and then the second any money gets involved to it it's i worked at stack overflow for a very very long time and one of the things that the vp of community at stack overflow taught me is i asked them why we didn't pay the moderators we did like we sent them hats and we sent them tote bags and stuff and donated to charity in their name and i was like why don't we just give them like a thousand dollars a year or something and he pointed out that these are all professional programmers and the second you give them money they start comparing it to what their hourly rate at work is and then they're like i'm wasting my time doing this if this is how much it's 30¢ an hour or something and then that was like a moment for me and i'm kind of in the same boat myself too it's like i'm doing stuff because i really enjoy it and then the second that i it was the same way i felt about the frames rewards stuff it's like the second i'm like oh i made $300 with this that's really cool but that's like two hours of work that i could have done instead you know and it's really hard to make that comparison

that's so interesting and i've not heard it say it but it somehow cheapens the work

yeah even though yeah

the you know you've seen the the the that the what is it the meme or the that cartoon of like the open source that library that's holding up the entire world's infrastructure

this from dawufi i was all just asked up to disagree but no notes go off j c four p

yeah no that's kind of how i felt and and professor that's how i felt when i got an award for like kind of the women's empowerment it's like i don't want it

yeah i would spend that on

shoes though

i would spend that on shoes if i were you

did you disagree with my assessment there

anyway that's really interesting i i

think there's something though to covering costs for folks who are open sourcing something for others to use

so even if it doesn't go beyond that like to me there's something to that that i i think is necessary so that the other thing is so looking at it from a different perspective what if we don't want you to stop supporting that and then you then have an incentive to at least like let it be if your costs are being covered that kind of thing

yeah i mean one thing that i really i literally got in like a four hour long argument with about the frames leaderboard thing because i was like they announced it and i was like i really hope i can opt out and she was like why would you wanna opt out we're rewarding you for doing what you're already doing and then we went back and forth the entire day but one of the things that's been good for that for me now is when i am helping people making on their own frames very easy to be like hey you should add in minting functionality because the rewards includes that and it's really nice to see other people make their own frames and then hopefully they get rewarded for it and they make some money for it but it's like i i have my own company you know yeah like i i have my own way of making money and it it works well for me and i don't like it's it would be very it would be very different if i didn't have that i would really like to i would love to optimize that and make stuff every day and stuff but then on the flip side like i would literally make an ai agent that makes a buzzfeed quiz frame every single day and then to try to like game the leaderboard and stuff and that's also like not as fun

yeah so we want that yeah but i love that but i think there's also something to the rewards being put back into the ecosystem and that's what a lot of people are doing i know it's something what i'm doing and all that so i think there's that aspect of it too that kinda keeps this sort of new economy just sort of rolling but i love i love your approach it's amazing that's amazing i was we've been wondering about you why are you doing the frames every day it's like

yeah no i direct the kool aid fully i i owe my career to open source software so i love open source software and i love helping other people do it

so you should definitely chat with chris cruella even if you don't wanna participate as you know in the game you might be able to add some support there or something yeah absolutely be something you could do there because i think that scout game is a is a nice approach especially if you think about it from like the junior dev perspective of rewarding them who maybe are very new in their career and you might find some you know really cool devs to work with or something like that yeah absolutely there's something there

the other thing i think is thank you the other thing is

kckc4p i don't know kc4p

that sounds like heckers for prisoner well the other part of that too is like like the programming aspect of it is really fun but what i'm really incentivized on helping a lot of people do is just trying to launch a frame because there are so many like kekker's finished a new frame three days ago and she spent the last three days trying to launch it and all of the all of the stuff of getting vercel set up all of the stuff of getting the c name set up all of the stuff of getting the embedding set up it's all especially for your first time it's really daunting there are some people that i'm helping make frames who are working on some absolutely amazing gorgeous things but i wish i could just tell them like i don't wanna dishearten them i wish i could be like make something much simpler as your first one like get it out of the door feel how difficult it is and what it's like go through getting those repetitions in and then work on what you actually wanna work on

what is that

wait are you

phrase ain't nobody wanna ain't nobody wanna lift no heavy weights

lift heavy weights yeah

i mean we just something beautiful but it hasn't actually shipped yet so there

are yes yeah

yeah they need to just get

it out shout out to very devops coded devops coded and small batch cycle and iteration

granted i probably go the other side of it and i have released stuff way too early a lot of times but like yeah kickers was working on optimizing her homepage for desktop and i was like launch your frame launch your frame

oh that's interesting earlier

yeah just do it yeah just put it out there and then yeah because then you can just iterate

yeah and see if people like it yeah

yeah see if people like it see if people use it

yeah the match three game i made had way many more people using it than i expected so now i'm actually working on redoing it into three d and adding audio in it and then the end result goal is hopefully by the beginning of april i can actually have like monthly tournaments where it's gonna be like a $1 nft buy in and then the nft live updates with your high score and stuff like for stuff that people really really do enjoy like i fully wanna add in all the features and all the stuff into it yeah

and that makes a lot of sense because then you're not spending time on something and making it all pretty and beautiful and nobody's using it yep so yeah this is the is this the this is the one you're talking about yep super fun very simple loved it go check it out meme coin match really fun

yeah my mom pointed out this was also the very first paid programming job i had it was working on a bejeweled clone on myspace and facebook love it so she says it's like a return back to form and i'm just doing what i enjoy doing at the beginning of my career

i love it when you talk about that because i feel like those are the vibes right now it's like with all these frames with all this open ability to create your own thing that you are getting those very early facebook vibes very early myspace vibes where people could contribute and have fun doing it and then from that came some big things like you know with farm bill turning into zynga whatever you know all those like sort of things that popped off and you can kinda see that happening right now with things like farcade and all these different games and like they're they're starting to blow up so it's i think it's it makes it's what makes the space fun almost like a what do you call it adrienne a seniors if you will

that's yes kasra do you know the term seniors

no oh you're gonna love it you're gonna love it

coined by brian it was coined by brian eno who do know who brian eno is right okay to describe collective genius

okay that genius comes out of a scene loosely organized people common goals like lots of you know friendly competition shared practices so you know novel novel things get accelerated quickly tools are shared you're allowed to like fuck up and fail gracefully within a scene and like yep others will lift you up community yeah

yeah celebrating the wins of others like all that kind of stuff yeah be feeling a part like you're others are winning you win too yeah the scene wins

when you come in and you're building all these frames i'm like no we all win it's like our masters better and we take yeah it's like shared success so yes senius is

the magic word to get adrian's happy face

love that love that

it's exactly a dummy

on the og myspace vibes too the other thing that i really like about farcaster is i i worked on a bunch of social networks like in the twenty tens the the biggest thing was gamified social networks and i worked on like four different ones of them and we always had an issue trying to get access to like i i work on the fitness social network and we wanted to give people the ability to share to their close friends on facebook only because it's about weight loss journey and stuff so that's kinda vulnerable but getting the idea of who are your close friends on facebook all of that information was locked in the walled garden of facebook versus on farcaster i can just download everyone's history and be like who are the people you're talking to the most oh here's all the circles and just the openness of that chain is one of the things that i really like

yeah you know dan this is so dan has really talked about we have to grow through crypto it's like there's so much especially there's a lot of anti crypto sentiment from so it's just kinda like get the crypto people over build build build i've get the gamer

people over

so much right but it's like get the gamers but what about open source

and the tinkerers and people who wanna build

and there's also so much low hanging fruit like so much low hanging fruit the thing that i made to get data out of a hub was the in the in the hub mono repo from the farcaster stream there is a proof of concept of how to extract information out of a hub but it's the most like basic way of doing it that if you were gonna do a proof of concept you were doing it and then i spent like a day thinking about it and then mine ended up being like 55 times faster and that is a great feeling but it's also just because it's fertile ground and there's low hanging fruit and someone just going through the steps piece by piece is able to make something that really helps the community and is impressive which in a lot of worlds where everyone else is already doing everything it's a lot harder to just do a first pass and be like wow this ended up working really well so i do really love the the fact that a lot of stuff is available for me to just put a little bit of thought into and then people get really impressed

awesome i love this alright adrienne you wanna hit them with some lightning questions i have a i feel i feel there's gonna be a frame eventually of this but go

ahead oh we should

we should do that can

i give you some lightning round questions

please

okay he seems he seems like the perfect person for lightning round

questions honestly and we'll turn this into a frame the only rule is you're not allowed to think

totally

alright so on farcaster we talk a lot about the url to irl pipeline when and how did you make your first internet friend

it was actually opposite i i i used to switch schools all the time because my my mom was a teacher and she would always get new jobs and move to different school districts and stuff and when i started my high school the very first year of high school i didn't have any friends in school until i realized that one of the guys in my gym class was someone that i've been playing counter strike with for years

wow so it was i would suddenly went from not having any friends to being like hey we play cs assault together all the time and then he introduced me to all of his other friends and now they're i'm going to vegas with some of those guys next weekend you know so it was a very like i was doing this thing i was playing video games and then it turned out that some of them were in my real life and i could actually do them yeah

that's cool that's really cool and it's cool that you're still friends with them i love that

i don't lose friends yeah that is i love it they they come hard so i don't lose them

i've got a few like that too i got a i got a i got a bunch and we do a trip every year and i'm not you make new friends

i try to

that's not a lightning round question this is my i was like i'm supposed to go fast i'm like oh it's just always fine like okay

i made one new friend this year but it was the same thing it was someone that i've been in a star trek group chat with for years and then we realized we live near each other and it's like let's go see a movie

that's cool

alright what's your favorite channel on farcaster

oh lampchop that's a wild card

but yes i there's a lot i would post on lampchop if i didn't have the reputation of a programmer and stuff i just texted the kickers and i'm like this would go hard on lampchop and then she's like yeah i would

alright lamb chop with the shout out nice

shout out we have a vibe check episode with lamb chop yeah dawufi if you

got that link let's drop it yeah

if you

got it handy so dawufi did it yeah did an interview with her with lamp

chop morning person or night owl

i used to be a night owl i have transitioned myself into a morning person especially since i moved to the west coast i slowly found out that a lot of my night owl aspects were actually subtle bouts of mania and then once i realized that and i realized that i was getting really upset when the sun came up in the morning i was like that's not the relationship i wanna have with the world

love that favorite favorite holiday

oh thanksgiving my family all lives in la and we do like a really big we do a big friendsgiving and then we do thanksgiving the week after and it's where we get to see everyone and everything and we all bring our friends and like it's just nice to have that

it was always my favorite for many years same reason

what is the next country you wanna visit

i my mom hates this i deeply wanna visit iraq i i just had a friend who's a photographer go on a tour of a new photo book that he's making and he had a lot of fun and stuff but i i'm from iran and i can't go back to iran just because there's a lot of like i would get drafted into the military most likely unless i bribe someone and my uncle's like just bribe the guy at the airport and i'm like that's horrifying to me i like i need written instructions for how to do that that's terrifying but iraq has a lot of really really cool old muslim sites and that's the culture that i grew up in was a lot of that islam and being able to actually go and see like the tomb of imam ali or something is really really interesting to me but anytime i talk to my mom about it she's like you're gonna go you're gonna get kidnapped and everyone's gonna be like why the hell did he do that but yeah that would definitely be what i would like to do

i am 100% on board with your mom on this one but also i get the desire to do that

there is some really cool stuff and like i understand that it's not magic but there's some really really cool stuff yeah yeah

completionist yes or no

no i've never finished a video game my five year old nephew has finished more video games than i have

okay that's funny are you a to do list like do you have to get through the bottom of your email or anything

i love this guy things on

i just get pulled in directions i just do whatever people want from me and whoever i talk to last is whatever i'm focusing on

adrienne's the completionist i am not and right now my dms from her are have you done your tax stuff yet

oh yeah that's really rough yeah see i have a best friend who got married to an accountant so i have that one

a little yeah a little working in public we have to file our our our corporate forms by march 15 right so yep yep yep got it get on that get on that okay

right after right after

we back in today kasra if you were to write a book what would it be about

it would be a cookbook

i have i get fixated on a lot of different stuff i make the best pizza that you could possibly possibly imagine imagine i like i in 2017 i made my own pizza oven and almost burned down my house but i did make a good pizza oven i make incredibly good ice cream i i i get really really into different treats for like three months and then figure out every single thing about them and then move on to something else so i would love to share that information with other people

that is really cool

is so cool by the way we have the coolest people on farcaster

like just everyone's so interesting when i try to explain why i'm here i'm like because people are interesting because of the people way i know this is lightning round but i'm on the side siennacooks.eath is yep on farcaster she's my daughter she's 16 oh i'm 16 and she's obsessed she gets obsessed with cooking and foods but it's like one thing super super into and then it's like never yep again

that happened to me macarons i at stack overflow we had chefs working at the company and i made macarons and i took them in and they were like i had to do like years of training to make these how did you make these and i was like i'm never gonna make them

again right

but then it's like these people are so interesting they're so intrinsically motivated yeah you know these people these interesting not like no i'm very extrinsically motivated

you're interesting as well yes

i i mean i'm weird i'm weird i'm not interesting okay football or soccer

football

camping or hotel

camping i go camping every year i i i go camping more often than i stay in hotels so i'm gonna say camping by default

oh optimist or pessimist

optimist 100% i'd learned that though there's a great book called learned optimism that i used to transition how i felt about that

oh i want that book

it's by martin siegelman he okay was the head of the apa but when he first started on his concepts everyone thought he was crazy because they were like what do you mean you can learn optimism he also gave dogs depression accidentally during his work at cornell but then he ended up becoming the what everyone else was doing

because i i'm an internal optimist but i'm finding when i talk to pessimists just telling them to be optimistic doesn't work

doesn't really work yeah no he has a check he has a checklist to be

able optimist

yeah no he has stuff about if you're an optimist or pessimist about finality or like if something goes wrong do you say i suck or do you say i just made the wrong decisions that day and there's a lot of really it's called learn optimism it's one of my favorite books

reminds me also of like the carol dweck mindset for yeah growth mindset versus growth

risk fix yeah

yep this is the worst lightning round ever because we're

just i'm so sorry

yeah we're doing you it's me yeah

it's me i'm very interested in what you're answering so it's yeah distracting

yeah you're you're triggering

the conversation

good way yeah

okay do you eat a kiwi with the skin on or off

off do people eat it with the skin on

yes it's a it's a farcaster thing

it's it's one of the first farcaster memes

ah ask crackers ask crackers about it oh well

if she finishes her frame maybe

and apparently without really an orange with the skin on so that horrifying

yeah is horrifying yes dawufi the correct reaction absolutely

okay last one what is the last thing you bought with crypto

oh have you bought anything with crypto

it might have been drugs like ten years ago to be a 100% honest with you it might have been something on the silk road a very long time ago

silk road making its comeback yeah

oh actually no that's a lie that's a lie i i it's even worse than that though i gamble online using ethereum so i i do a lot of prop bets it's illegal in california so i have to do it using cryptocurrency and i do that every basketball season and every football season

have you heard of bracket no and bracket oh oh slash bracket game go check it out or at braky b r a c k y we have our own

to it bracket

bracket

there's gonna be a big bracket okay yeah and it'll be very social and it's gonna stay

at the peak yeah

oh and it's gonna be a lot of fun
