3:19Speaker 1

it's not the it's not the bird app oh my god did you see yacine did you see or have you followed the whole twitter yacine

3:26Speaker 0

yes

3:27Speaker 1

and he just said like fuck it i'm gonna start calling it twitter again like finally i know i'm calling i maybe didn't say twitter but like maybe i or something like fuck it i can start calling them tweets again like can you just imagine funny

3:41Speaker 0

it's not

3:41Speaker 1

a whole thing and it's just like not allowed to say twitter no one's allowed i declare i declare speech

3:47Speaker 0

so hilarious that whole thing has been really funny he's just a funny account anyway but like watching all of that go down and then elon even responding oh i didn't know he was

3:58Speaker 1

oh i was like oh my god

4:01Speaker 0

what is going on so yeah pretty funny if you're not watching if you're not following along with that it is pretty pretty funny he's an engineer who just was let go for max and it's quite a

4:14Speaker 1

quite a controversy i wasn't even following his account until ted posted it on farcaster so yeah

4:19Speaker 0

yeah me too

4:20Speaker 1

i i wasn't even my discovery from farcaster

4:24Speaker 0

same i had the same situation and but since i found him i can't i can't stop it's been it's been fascinating to watch alright let's dive in because we've got some farcaster news happening so let's jump into it and i'm telling you just be paying attention if you're playing trivialator okay this from v which jeff goldberg is very happy to see this by the way we're now and peachy we're noticing more gaming on the leaderboard we'll be making some algo changes this week to address voting rings and similar coordinated behavior to game the leaderboard thanks to everyone who reported these issues and then you can see pichi's note thank you lots of folks losing motivation so that's i i haven't really noticed the gamification but i will say my personal behavior is if i see my friend who's trying to stay up towards the top of the leaderboard

5:26Speaker 1

i'm gonna go make sure

5:27Speaker 0

i'm liking all their books

5:28Speaker 1

are you colluding

5:30Speaker 0

i wouldn't call it colluding because they didn't ask me to do it i just did it i'm cheerleading

5:36Speaker 1

well that is i mean that's the point of a public leaderboard right it's like you want to spark some natural i can't

5:46Speaker 1

okay if you're just listening to the recording later prop

5:49Speaker 2

you

5:49Speaker 0

left it what

5:50Speaker 1

from a micro stanley cup your hand looks so big

5:56Speaker 0

it's so ridiculous okay it's so ridiculous sorry

6:00Speaker 1

i lost my train of thought all i wanna say is

6:05Speaker 1

yes sparking some competition i think is good right overly gamifying and

6:10Speaker 0

yeah yeah

6:11Speaker 1

then like then not fun so

6:14Speaker 0

i don't consider what i was doing gamifying or anything because also the person who had no idea i was doing it like they had no clue they weren't coordinating with me but it was really it's just it's it's interesting but also you wanna keep it so that it doesn't get too demotivating i think to peachy's point like it can be very demotivating for people who feel like it's not fair kind of thing you know they don't have a fair shot so

6:43Speaker 1

yeah show me the incentive and i'll show you the the

6:46Speaker 0

the

6:47Speaker 1

action and

6:49Speaker 2

yep

6:49Speaker 1

there's a lot of money especially like the there's a lot of money at stake and especially when you think forecaster is global right so a 100 usdc can buy you about three cups of coffee in new york city maybe you can pay your rent somewhere

7:09Speaker 0

else yeah yeah that's a great point because we you know when we think about it from our perspective it doesn't seem like much but elsewhere in the world could be very big hello eleanor yes i was just i was just thinking about you you're you're gonna come up later as a matter of fact so welcome this also from v farcaster spam check do you want to help a friend affected by the spam label check if they have the label by going to profile three dots about and look at the spam label if it says zero likely to engage in spammy behavior then reply with their username but let me tell you if you just reply with a username and you don't do that check it's gonna be mad because this is also gonna reply to that if you don't actually check the labels and just reply with usernames that are clearly not in spam i'm going to start thinking that you might be a spammer or a bot so in other words make sure you check first and then let him know don't just like let him know without checking alright this from dwr clear opportunity for more casts about sports both professional and recreational have been doing a bunch of user research recently and it's the clear number one most popular non crypto category where people read watch content on other social networks so i don't know if you got this dm from dan but i did about interests with a little survey and i did the the survey and just said like what non crypto content i was interested in so that's what he's been doing so he's actually he's actually talking to a lot of folks on farcaster to find out what what it is they're interested in and i think that is in a in a goal to then try to find more creators who are talking about those topics and bring them yeah over and onboard them so did you do that little survey

9:13Speaker 1

i did and yes any questions

9:18Speaker 0

just curious what your what your topics were because my my first one was like what do i use elsewhere and it's like politics but i also use completely i use a very specific twitter handle so that it doesn't get mixed up with my crypto one like i have to get

9:35Speaker 1

oh that's interesting your multiple twitter accounts for different algos wow

9:39Speaker 0

yes so that i create like it yeah it's the only way because otherwise it gets too messy so that's why i do it that way but like so that was my first thing was like politics is one of mine but i don't necessarily want more of that i want it at a high level or like a deep thought level i don't know if that's what the right word is but like i like some of the independent journalists who are bringing some of that content like that kind of stuff but i don't want more fighting about politics i get enough of that on other apps

10:13Speaker 1

yeah if

10:14Speaker 0

that makes sense so

10:15Speaker 1

i mean he asked one of the questions was like if you were to look at your feed your algo yes you know your algo feed on other apps what would you see and that was really interesting mine was like dumpster fire and garbage like please don't please don't make farcaster look like my other no please dan please no please

10:36Speaker 0

and and that was a great question because that made me think and that's what made me i actually told him like i have different accounts for that reason so that i can keep things separate and not turn it into a dumpster fire but the the other thing i was thinking about when he asked that question if i think about my tiktok on the other hand i think a lot of people would be very amused by my by my tiktok algo because it's mostly you know utah moms who are on a reality show it's mom talk it's like bravo lebrities it's like full on brain rot it's not right it's not like what i would

11:17Speaker 1

expect to be you're not on stem stem talk

11:20Speaker 0

no i'm not on book talk i'm not on stem talk i am on full on pop culture is what my tiktok is all it's totally and i don't i actually don't use tiktok very often

11:36Speaker 1

because when i freaking do i'm on for like two hours like i can't get i can't get off of it

11:41Speaker 0

it is very much like crack it's like social media crack it is crazy that algo is very good for what its you know purpose is to keep you there but yeah i don't want that over here please don't do that

11:55Speaker 1

it's just really interesting i think to see one the merkel team build in public and how it's how the strategy has changed over the years like the goal has not changed so the goal is to create an upscale social network from scratch has not been done since like the early social media networks took all the network like it's it's just really hard to start over so in the beginning the the strategy was really attract developers mhmm it wasn't trying to attract content creators because people weren't gonna come it would attract developers who are going to create net new experiences different types of apps developers will onboard users and then kind of came to the conclusion well developers aren't going to build somewhere where there aren't users right so it's interesting and i think now i don't think it's one or the other it's there's obviously you know it's like yeah it's parallel the multiple flywheels that will kind of you know more developers will mean more users more users will mean more more developers

12:58Speaker 0

and i think even looking at the merkel team and the way they're sort of splitting some things up right now you can see the the teddan track of of like we're focusing on content and content creators and then you see like the linda horse facts b they're focusing more on the developers and the mini apps and the you know that aspect of it so you can be doing both at the same time now you couldn't before but you can now you couldn't when there was only two of them

13:28Speaker 1

my wish for so like the reason i can't i i wanna leave i loved actually what elon used to say about x which was like his northstar kpi was maximizing do you know what it was no unregrettable minutes spent on the app

13:47Speaker 0

i like that

13:48Speaker 1

and i really like that hard to quantify like right

13:52Speaker 0

very hard to quantify but i like that thinking

13:54Speaker 1

most networks are most like it's all about attention so spend tiktok does this really well

14:01Speaker 0

really well

14:02Speaker 1

how much time are you

14:03Speaker 0

spending on that i always regret my minutes spent though

14:06Speaker 1

oh because it's too much like you enjoy it for a little bit and then it's

14:10Speaker 0

because i realized that like oh my god i have been on here for two hours and this is insane and i gotta get the heck out it like it's really like because it's so good so i do regret but i usually care i don't regret on no they don't i don't regret on farcaster i don't think i ever look and go oh i just spent way too much time i really don't

14:32Speaker 1

so then what makes you not regret i regret all that time on twitter these days i used to love yeah twitter because i would go and feel smarter when i would leave

14:41Speaker 0

right yeah i felt that's a great point

14:45Speaker 1

and engaging like it felt really good to also tweet and talk to people and reply to people because i would meet people who i would never in a million years get a chance to have a conversation with or meet yeah and now i scroll and yeah i get rage bait politics and extremely hypersexualized content

15:10Speaker 0

yeah that can be weird that's the other reason you have to really curate your algorithm and that's why i do have multiple accounts because like i will block like i will block even things i will look look at in one account and that's like the political stuff i will not look at it in another account so that i can keep that very crypto focused very like you know the things i want to see that in the crypto sphere

15:37Speaker 1

but i and i have

15:38Speaker 0

to block like there's so much it's like kind of surprising how much sexual content there is i'm like it this is like pornhub i'm like why

15:51Speaker 1

but it's weird because it's intermixed in everything else so it's like oh politics news and now porn

15:58Speaker 0

yeah yeah i have to like yeah i just do a lot of blocking and muting so it it does require though it take so there is regrettable minutes for sure

16:06Speaker 1

so going back to forecaster like

16:08Speaker 0

and then the feeling thing there's a feeling thing like of like how do i feel when i leave this platform in regret regrettable minutes but also like what is the feeling and when i leave twitter most of the time not my crypto twitter but my political twitter i almost always leave angry like without fail that's not good that's not good that's not how i want to feel yeah so all right moving on i see we have at least half of los fomos in our green room so we got to move this along adrienne to make sure we get we get this going

16:48Speaker 1

and if you're just joining

16:49Speaker 3

22:59Speaker 1

if you're not familiar tmnt stands for teenage mutant ninja turtles

23:03Speaker 0

yes and

23:04Speaker 1

they used to mention that and like if you don't know the lore if you've never been to a pizza dough event and see people dressed as teenage mutant ninja turtles like i forgive you for not putting that together

23:18Speaker 0

i really wish i had my photo handy right now to show you because yes i have i have multiple pictures with me and the ninja turtles at various pizza dough events always fun definitely go check it out super fun and this from debbie at privy in conversation with privy at permission list a fireside chat with our ceo henry moderated by sequoia capital partner josephine chen this is wednesday today at 03:35pm learn how privy is building infra for seamless experiences on crypto rails and this is with blockworks and there's a whole bunch of other privy events that have been happening as well i think that was yesterday this is the one that's today so everybody okay so i didn't have any fomo now i have los fomo oh wait no that's in the chat i have a lot of fomo totally because of like i was like oh i don't need to go to nyc for this i was just there and then i started to think maybe i should because i'm heading up north anyway this weekend and if i had thought this through i could have gone early and gone to this and now i have full regrets about it because and i think this is a good way to sum this up from peachy i hate to i hate to be the one to break it to all of you who don't come to irl farcaster events but someone needs to tell you the truth one on average farcasters are really tall seriously something is at the water two farcasters are really good looking humans it's not like a normal crypto conference crowd three they are also really nice it feels unfair to see so many triple threats walking around but it is what it is i just thought that was funny and then burtwurst i'm here to bring the average height down

25:14Speaker 0

just really funny but in general like the irl events there's just nothing better and i'm really having some major major fomo at the moment because i wanna see all my friends are in new york i don't like it it does look like it's been really fun so i hope you get over there today

25:34Speaker 1

related news investing in conclusion

25:53Speaker 0

okay jose fid 3,087 after sporadic casting launches mesh mini app and rides it and regular casting to number one sure doogie made it to number two and debbie number three hold down the elite top three tier for the vibe tribe i was just riding for debbie cheerleading it on that was my that was my horse in this race this week i just love seeing it gabe einhorn new to fc this week debuts at number five three fifty not a bad first week for a non crypto guy exploring faith real estate and vibes eric sulls sv first time top 10 at number six because people like the science yes they do that was my other suggestion to dan asking for non crypto content more i would like find some really good researchers and science folks let keckers like curate it and you're you're gonna have a lot of people interested because i know eric sol eric by a different name i call him honk but honk has very has been doing some really interesting things and he was at a nuclear something nuclear medicine conference i think it was so he was posting some really interesting things from there this week noviana in her first week on fc is number 14 how much of the $125 does she owe to her sister elvie for onboarding this week i forgot to pull the cast but very funny cast back and forth between brian g calling out neovania as ai and linda saying no i actually onboarded this one but i think he might have been just trying to get a date shout out to four new people in the 21 to 30 range that i've never seen here including the ooma first couple days on fc amistara and some fire fits in fat passion meme coveted 69 taking by presidio j one with some serious soccer vibes so very fun and this from debbie we did it fam a solid third place finish thank you so much for helping me achieve my holy grail grail here on farcaster i do love how there's just this was with henry last week too was just like the going hard first for the leaderboard from people who you know it's not about the money it's definitely about the glory

28:29Speaker 0

especially henry last week that was just funny i loved it and this from gabe einhorn who i do not know i have never heard of this person until they came to farcaster but a lot of people seem to know who this person is why am i here i just had a conversation on farcaster with a guy he asked me a question about tokens and i told him i honestly don't know much about tokens or crypto he responded by asking genuinely why am i on this app it made me think i know nothing about crypto i'm not involved with any of it so really why am i here the backstory is my best friend evan z solomon told me about the platform he has been supporting my content on linkedin and other social media and he told me i gotta come join farcaster so i did that's it nothing too complicated but now i'm here so i might as well learn about crypto and i was like oh that's interesting so this could be like a backwards onboarding to crypto we've been focusing on the the crypto folks rather than the non crypto folks and probably should be flipped the other way and this is a good way to onboard them especially now that you have this built in wallet they don't have to get a wallet they don't have to connect anything they don't have to leave the site they can earn crypto learn about crypto just by being here like just kind of absorbing it because we're talking about it all the time so and you're earning it from like day one so very cool very cool to see so that was kind of fun okay a couple more quick things this from peachy i'm gonna let you guys i'm gonna just point this out do a quick read of some of it and then you can dive into the deeper it's a bit of a long cast if you will adrienne engagement is a two way street i've seen a lot of chatter on the timeline that engagement has been weird for the past two weeks we've either all gotten worse at casting or the type of pro has worn off or the team has been the hypo pro team has been experimenting with the algorithm and we are starting to feel the effects maybe it's a combo of all three that's what i think we need to take some action so one clean up who you follow two change your feed settings to see all replies for a week reply to every thoughtful comment and ignore how low effort ignore low effort replies hack the recency bias in the algorithm we talked about that the other day of like sometimes you have to go back and like if you're not seeing a particular person go like a bunch of their casts and you will start to see them turn on super follow notifications for your favorite casters i use that or friends you wanna see more change up how when and where you cast audit your own profile handy dune query below and there's a lot more detail on all of this go check that out from peachy and that was in the first draft so i'm assuming this is going to be a paragraph post at some point so very cool couple more quick things okay banger mini word this is really fun by the way because now you can create your own mini word puzzle so okay banger kristen created one and i did horrible but it was really fun so go check that out i think i got through most of my things i wanna make sure there was a couple other quick things but i am going to skip them i think i'll just point this out you can go give this a read heatwave psa from a certified hot dog because those of us who live in arizona and florida find you all hilarious in new york but here's some advice for avoiding swamp ass and things like that so pretty funny so go check that out from bertwurst giving you all the details this from v this is why we don't let horse facts take vacations because he was giving us a shopping list headed to z mart to pick up hand sanitizer narcan condoms a smoke detector a bike helmet a large bag of compost and a 10 pack of really shitty board of elections pens anyone need anything i don't know where he was going but sounds fun

32:54Speaker 0

and lastly not gonna play this but you should go check this out goldie goldie talks has been doing these videos and he was giving a breakdown of the recent new york city election in relation to polymarket so go check that out super super funny and he made a lot of good points here about like and i saw a couple people talking about the election and or the primary i should

33:28Speaker 1

say

33:30Speaker 0

why did this person do so well and it really comes down to because they were different and we're sick of the same old stuff even if because so many people were like i don't believe in his policies but i like the guy and it was like okay that's interesting here we go again other side just other side anyway i

33:50Speaker 1

have so many i have so many words and i'm not gonna say any of them because as

33:55Speaker 0

hold on not that one but this one first los fomo has been all over my timeline what goes on in los fomo so we'll start there i just thought it was so it was such a funny way to put that like what goes on so what goes on in los fomos

35:27Speaker 1

would you like to those

35:29Speaker 0

who may not be familiar tell us what is los fomos and what have you guys been up to during your how long have you guys been doing los fomos a year over a year

35:41Speaker 2

it's a year already i think it's over a year actually because it started kind of at the time of unchained summer last year

35:50Speaker 0

okay yeah so yeah about this time last year amazing so tell everyone a little bit about what is los fomos and yeah where what have you been up to

36:02Speaker 2

yeah i think that's the most popular question is like especially regarding the channel like what exactly is los fomos and

36:15Speaker 2

for a second

36:17Speaker 0

i will jump oh you jump in now polly

36:20Speaker 1

i think one inch i just wanna know where paco is if she at the bar she can order drinks for us and then

36:25Speaker 3

i was gonna say

36:27Speaker 0

around yeah

36:28Speaker 1

i could use a drink

36:29Speaker 3

like i have a fan pointed at my face right now because it's so hot and i

36:32Speaker 1

don't have an i don't have an ac here so like it's not a it's not a pure thing to have an ac so

36:38Speaker 3

that is fun

36:39Speaker 0

fun too very europore very europore no ac yeah

36:42Speaker 2

taco

36:42Speaker 1

taco giving

36:42Speaker 3

you a drink like order me one as well yeah

36:45Speaker 0

we wanted to know if you're ordering drinks at the bar what was

36:49Speaker 2

going on there no it wasn't ordering the drink i was just asked about the timing in this space and stuff

36:55Speaker 0

oh that's funny

36:57Speaker 2

yeah but yeah what i was saying yeah like it's the most popular question i guess what is los alamos and what's going on with los alamos i think i will start from the show because it's kind of the reason why we even hear los alamos is a show that rings out from well known for now in only crypto people like the spicy side and more human side of it and we try to create the show that is not just valuable from the information perspective but actually you know connects you to the people and then you're entertained and you're more interested in what actually they're doing and checking out because i think the thing that drives interest to products and being the user is basically

37:48Speaker 2

the people behind who built it so this is like the show that we built over the year it started as i said like during the on chain summer it actually started during the idea that i mean it was almost as the place in our heads existed before we're dreaming about this place because i mean paul and i we now met irl so we're kinda like creating this metaverse without a very specific pinpoint like where exactly it is kinda like this world again based on our shared interest in the music and culture and fashion and and then we started join decided to join firecaster for actually a few reasons because we thought that channels are the interesting way of actually building the community around yourselves and there was some kind of promise of frames we won which we thought oh it could be something that we can experiment and play around with people and we wanted to do the podcast a little bit more traditional podcast initially and we actually if you go back to los alamos first episodes you actually can find that we have like

39:01Speaker 1

two more things

39:05Speaker 0

but but yeah many such cases when you go back to early anything it's really pretty funny like if you watch our early gm forecaster it is torturous i'm gonna go into that

39:19Speaker 3

i'm gonna go into that

39:21Speaker 0

yeah go ahead it's amusing and it and they're much shorter so it's easy to do yeah so have you two now met in person or no you still haven't met in person oh that is interesting i don't think i realized that part oh that's funny that's fine

39:38Speaker 3

we made a video and we posted it yesterday when we started the crowd fund and i feel like the most interesting part of this whole campaign is like for people the fact that we haven't met in person and we were actually supposed to meet like i was telling adrienne the other day when we had a call that we actually studied together but it was online because of covid so it was super short notice university decided to do that so we were supposed to meet but yeah

40:03Speaker 0

oh that's so funny okay so how often do you guys record list

40:09Speaker 3

of us for the podcast part of it so we do these batch recordings where we always record it a lot of people within a short amount of time so that we can just focus on doing other stuff building the app and grow growing on other platforms as well and so we did like i think maybe 20 people in two or three weeks oh wow or even more that was super intense and we actually haven't published all of those we took a little break from publishing because we were part of the blueprint accelerator firm

40:43Speaker 0

oh right yeah

40:44Speaker 3

yeah that was beginning of this year so we took a little break after that and actually focused on building the community also beyond the episodes and actually understanding what is what play place and what meaning do the episodes have versus the community building we do in the farcaster channel because there's kind of these two things going on there's the vibes and how do we bring the show closer to the vibes which leads us to what we're planning with the crowd fund actually because we really want to be in the same space and we feel like we can create such great content that's going beyond beyond the things we've seen in the sense that it's gonna attract the masses even to crypto because we're using crypto rails and no one will even know that that's the case

41:31Speaker 0

right so which is very cool and i think that's you know that's something that we're seeing now as people are like interested in they're getting interested in crypto from just being on farcaster which is really really interesting okay so you mentioned the crowd fund so i wanna show this so this is what you dropped yesterday by the way i didn't watch the video or read it i just went and donated i didn't even pay i didn't so i missed the i missed the video so that's why i'm like i didn't even realize you guys hadn't met yet so i'm gonna re just read this from pauline ever co produced an irl show babe now you can los fomo is the first on chain native farcaster born show with irl ambition to onboard the masses we're turning lf into irl production with real sets cameras chaos babe spicy girls will meet in person for the first time irl after working together for four years this campaign is the fuel we need to start the new lf chapter fade it or help make it real to become part of the story so give us a little tldr of like what is the plan where are you planning to meet like what's going to be the production like what's involved so people understand what it is that they're supporting

42:54Speaker 3

yeah i'm gonna start and latak could chime in if she wants to so first to start with the plan of what we've what we want to do we want to meet in paris for the first time and the production is gonna be called midnight in los formos wink wink and

43:11Speaker 0

i love it

43:13Speaker 3

yeah so we want to make it very like los formos and the way we do that is we pick specific locations we're gonna record in bars or brasseries like places that really feel like they match the vibe i can't really explain what the vibe is right now but it's it's like that's

43:30Speaker 0

the vibe i see it yeah like the living room you you

43:33Speaker 3

know like palm trees as well so we don't know them in paris but okay and so this is part of it and then we're gonna chat with people that really fit the vibe people that we personally find super interesting that are elephoros elephoros is people that we feel really represent this personality that we see in los fumos quite often so this is this is the plan we actually we're super grateful for the support so far we've reached almost 50% i think maybe it's 50 now thank you so much for donating also for the people that are watching not only donating sharing the link because it helps us so much i'm pretty sure we will get everyone fed up with los fomo center crowdfunding link in the next few days and then that's the goal and apart from that

44:23Speaker 0

yeah it looks like you're at 49% so we need just a smidge more to get you to 50% so there you go but that's awesome in one day less than one day it's been like seventeen hours so that's incredible

44:37Speaker 3

by the way

44:38Speaker 0

oh yeah go ahead

44:39Speaker 3

yes and the last thing about what what we're actually raising for so we have to cover the cost for production equipment and you can rent these things but renting them is super expensive if you rent them over a different like over a period of time we can't have all the guests in one day so we have to buy the things and we're gonna use them in the future as well so then there will be some trademarking fees as well and paying flights to come to paris together

45:07Speaker 0

there's some great far casters in paris too you've got kagusha is there right i think justin ahn is there i know there's a bunch more that i'm not even thinking of but there's a sig i know they've done some really good meetups in for broadcaster fridays in paris so you've got like a good crew to even start off with and i think when are you planning to be there i think there's some other cool crypto folks that are there right now

45:40Speaker 2

it's kind of a good question because like we want to like obviously it depends also on the funds and how fast it will go like i think powell plans to go to the venues already because we're kinda approaching to 50% and we can start kinda exploring the dates available so we can start booking and then second is like yeah people because that's the thing like we picked paris because it's still kinda like a center in europe and the the possibility that people will be able to catch people over there like if they're somewhere near is much higher so that will be like the second question that we'll be figuring out and we decided like okay maybe we can when we reach the 60% we can go and start actually asking around because it kind of feels like okay we actually can pull it off and

46:32Speaker 0

and calling yeah arjan someone mentioned arjan is there samuel huber i think is in switzerland so he'd be another good one there's a lot that are in paris so calling all the europe poor to paris for los fomos there we go we need you all to go to paris

46:51Speaker 1

yeah

46:51Speaker 0

i think it's gonna be really fun

46:53Speaker 3

shout out to arian by the way he is one of our old og supporters same with samuel by the way both of them

47:00Speaker 0

that's not surprising they're very good supporters of us as well and just i know that they're just great cheerleaders on farcaster in general so that's amazing

47:14Speaker 0

okay adrienne i'm giving you a heads up i don't know if you saw my note but we need the lightning round questions so don't don't don't forget we definitely gonna need those so before that though what else do you want folks to know about los fomos what are some of your favorite episodes of the podcast

47:39Speaker 3

taco is where she's asking matthew what his kink is that's the best oh and he didn't answer boring

47:46Speaker 0

you didn't answer no

47:49Speaker 2

but i actually love when we ask some provocative questions and the goal is sometimes not actually to get the answer like you know it's not like the specific information i love to see people to crack a little bit and then you know you see their personalities a little bit more so they're becoming less this kinda like public persona and more like themselves so i love when we achieve that i also love the coincidence blake episode

48:18Speaker 2

i think we were a little bit more aggressive with with our questions trying to kind of propagate her to make choices that was funny with invoice block but again like we wanted just to see like okay how it's gonna go i think it was fun what else to to maybe like you know people can learn i think when we say people can be part of it we actually mean it because as we're building the community as los alamos we're trying to build not just you know the fact that okay there is a channel but we try to build this again on chain the community membership and we do have different roles that for now are off chain but they're based on on chain actions right you know it can be a leper you can be a crew member you can be producer if you are subscribed to hypersap and it also gives you access to the channel we have a mixologist those who collected our limited cocktail stickers and we want to create obviously very special role for people who actually supported us and as we kinda grow we're also figuring out okay how you know this role is in you know in ecosystem what kind of permissions and access they will have but it will definitely go up in the hierarchy of roles because it's one of the most important moments in the development of los alamos because it's basically taking something that would build in the of the farcaster and trying to bring it to the wider world and then to bring them back to us

49:57Speaker 0

love that and i have to say like doing irl interviews is much harder like i don't think that people realize like doing like the quick little interviews on the street is pretty easy but doing like the you know formal more of a podcast more of a like sit down it does require a lot of coordination it's not that easy and it does require a lot of equipment and getting it right and we've done this a few times and sometimes successfully and sometimes not as much successfully even when it's just us to but it together in person it's like much easier to control it when you're when you're doing it online than when you're doing it in person so it definitely becomes a little a little trickier for sure

50:44Speaker 3

it's gonna be so fun like trying to set everything up on the clock

50:47Speaker 0

yeah it'll be really fun i definitely would say like reach out to those folks who are in paris because they'll definitely help you find good locations and i know they'll be super helpful with that especially kagusha she's really like no she's organized a lot of meetups so she's definitely one to to chat with for sure okay i think we need some lightning round questions adrianne and if you guys wanna throw us a couple spicy questions we'll take them as well so but adrian hit them hit them with some lightning round let's do it

51:19Speaker 1

okay and warning and i don't know if you saw my message i seem to be having some wi fi issues out of nowhere so let's fingers crossed i don't lose you we've never done a lightning round with two people so i don't know how to make this work we're gonna and and usually okay so the first question we ask everyone is always the same but it's really interesting because i know how you guys met so i'm going to ask it anyway in case you have a more interesting answer but because forecaster is a social network and we talk a lot about the url to irl pipeline i wanted to ask each of you when and how you made your very first internet friend so like someone you met online first and then later met in real life

52:07Speaker 1

i guess present company excluded

52:11Speaker 0

well they haven't met in real life yet

52:13Speaker 3

yeah that's right

52:18Speaker 2

i think i don't remember anything before that so my life's like before like it has in chapters and i don't actually remember if before joining crypto i was active on social media and communities to be honest i think nfts moment was that moment for me and i met quite a lot of people and mostly in europe based and there was like amsterdam conference like nft amsterdam or something and i think that was the first time when i met a bunch of people that i met during this crazy 2021 and then but actually i have a really fun story like yeah and i remember that somebody approached me while i was talking with somebody else and gave me a sticker and i looked down at the sticker i recognized the nft

53:06Speaker 1

i looked up

53:07Speaker 2

and i was like are you and she was like yeah i'm i'm i'm frida and then i was like i'm taco and the basically those are the

53:16Speaker 0

oh that's cool

53:18Speaker 2

really yeah like very fun moment

53:20Speaker 0

how about for you how

53:23Speaker 3

yeah so your story inspired my story i'm gonna tell the story of how i met pres he he's a friend that we met on crypto twitter i feel like we were getting deep into ordinals at some point and like trying to understand how this ecosystem works investing a little bit and he was really the guiding figure of this group he was showing us how to how things work he was giving us like the newest updates on projects and things and he created this community around that created his own ordinals project as well and i had no idea what he looked like until i met him in person in new york last year that's also where like the same trip where i met adrian maybe he was well known as buff i don't know but we i

54:06Speaker 2

don't think so

54:06Speaker 0

i don't think so i don't think so

54:09Speaker 3

yeah it was just funny because when someone is so anon and then they're like whispering in your ear like this is me and you're like what strange yeah

54:20Speaker 1

really fun good

54:22Speaker 0

alright adrienne hit him hit him with a few more questions and i know we're short on time

54:27Speaker 1

that's okay i said i had a hard stop at 09:30 right yeah i mean it's like i said hard hard stop we have to say hard stop when it's really a little bit after

54:38Speaker 2

we also touched

54:39Speaker 0

we have less

54:39Speaker 1

we're gonna go the last okay so lightning round will will be true to it we'll pick pow favorite channel and forecaster

57:35Speaker 1

that's a

57:35Speaker 0

good one

57:36Speaker 3

i'm going to go for virgil abloh because the culture the creativity fakassar will boom

57:43Speaker 0

yep yep and he but he would be complaining about the design every day

57:48Speaker 1

he would be running slow

57:49Speaker 0

57:49Speaker 1

it would be fun yeah it would definitely be fun alright i'd like two or three i'd like two or three more who is your which is your favorite forecaster bot

58:01Speaker 0

bot brackie brackie

58:05Speaker 2

brackie is my favorite yeah because i'm not really interacting with bots that much

58:12Speaker 3

neither do i and i will say that i don't have a favorite at the moment prefer the people for now

58:18Speaker 0

but change you'll have to you'll have to meet warpy he'll be helpful to you

58:21Speaker 2

say hi

58:22Speaker 0

to warpy say hi to warpy eath

58:25Speaker 1

alright last question yeah okay kiwi skin on or off to eat to eat

58:34Speaker 3

never eaten a kiwi skin

58:36Speaker 2

what was the question

58:38Speaker 1

when you eat a kiwi do you eat it with the skin on

58:41Speaker 2

oh or do you eat

58:42Speaker 3

it with the skin on

58:43Speaker 0

like an apple

58:45Speaker 2

yeah i i i want to try actually because i saw people doing it but but i think my yeah i'm not sure my senses would

58:54Speaker 0

enjoy it

58:54Speaker 3

how does it feel when you swallow the kiwi with like the kiwi skin isn't it like

58:59Speaker 0

weird i'll never know

59:00Speaker 2

you chew it first

59:03Speaker 1

we'll have to ask vitalik apparently naomi eats bananas with the skin on too so don't ask anyone on farcaster about their fruit what you know the joke though the joke of all of this and there is lore that went back to vitalik and tim daub and eating kiwis with the skin on but the joke is there's a thing called a golden kiwi which has a much like softer less hairy skin and that's like really easy to eat with the skin on it still doesn't taste like anything

59:39Speaker 1

this was a joke it was i guess it's not obvious

59:42Speaker 0

yeah we figured

59:43Speaker 1

right we i i guess we know the disclaimers before someone's going off and eating bananas with the skin on okay that will save me

59:51Speaker 3

so much time i don't buy kiwis sometimes because i'm too lazy to peel them no you just cut them

59:56Speaker 1

in half and scoop out

59:58Speaker 0

that's another option good to know

60:00Speaker 1

alright

60:01Speaker 0

alright well done very well done this has been awesome do you have any quick spicy questions for us we've only got like a second but if you do we will take

60:13Speaker 3

them what guests would you not reinvite

60:15Speaker 0

what guests would we not reinvite oh

60:21Speaker 0

i don't think there is anyone that we've had that i wouldn't reinvite is there she has a little interface

60:26Speaker 1

i can't i'm i'm checking my notes app i can't actually think of one so i was gonna go check our playlist of like all of our guests that we've had on

60:38Speaker 0

yeah there's nobody i wouldn't reinvite i that i can think of well hold on

60:45Speaker 2

if you give it a thought

60:46Speaker 0

no because i definitely would reinvite him i was gonna say proxy maybe

60:57Speaker 0

of questions

60:58Speaker 1

we have

60:58Speaker 3

a show recorded with proxy and dish and we didn't release it so we were thinking about doing that at some point yeah

61:05Speaker 0

you need to release that yeah we had we had one but with separately but we so we had one with proxy very early right after clanker launched and but that would be interesting to have him back but that's the only one i can think of that like people might be like no don't but honestly i think they would actually like to hear from him i don't think there's anybody else adrianne

61:29Speaker 1

i can't think of anything i mean also like we tend to bring friends on because we like they're all forecaster people yeah and everyone's been i'm like literally scrolling through i'm like loved that i loved everyone's been great
