not the it's not the bird app oh my god did you see yasine did you see or have you followed the whole twitter yasine yes and he just said like fuck it i'm gonna start calling it twitter again like finally i can
call i can
and maybe he didn't say twitter but like maybe or something like fuck it i can start calling them tweets again like can you just do that funny
it's so magical at x
it is now hilarious that whole thing has been really funny he's just a funny account anyway yeah but like watching all of that go down and then elon even responding oh i didn't know he was oh it was like oh my god 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 pretty funny he's an engineer who just was let go from x and it's quite a quite a controversy
see it yeah me too
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 trivia later okay this from v which jeff goldberg is very happy to see this by the way we're now and pichi 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 i'm gonna go make sure i'm liking all their
i wouldn't call it colluding because they didn't ask me to do it i just did it i'm cheerleading
well that is i mean that's the point of a public leader board right it's like you want to spark some natural i can't
have to what
it's so ridiculous
okay
so ridiculous sorry
yeah yeah
i don't consider what i was doing gamifying or anything because also the person 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 pichi's point like it can be very demotivating for people who feel like it's not fair kinda thing you know they don't have a fair shot so
the outcome
the action and yep there's a lot of money especially like the there's a lot of money at stake and especially when you think farcaster 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 else
the world 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
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 all somebody replied 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 interest 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 a in a goal to then try to find more creators who are talking about those topics and bring them over and onboard them so did you do that little survey
just curious what your what your topics were because mine were like 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 keep separate
yes so that i create like 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 got enough of that on other apps apps
yeah if
that makes sense so
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 i please don't please don't make farcaster look like my other no please dan please no please please
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 liberties it's like full on brain rot it's not it's not like what i would
no i'm not on booktok 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 because when i freaking do i'm on for like two hours like i can't get i can't get off of it 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 to us
it's just really interesting i think to see one the merkle team build in public and how it's how the strategy has changed over the years like the goal's not changed so the goal is to create an scale 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
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 yeah it's like
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
and i think even looking at the merkle team and the way they're sort of splitting some things up right now you can see the the ted dan track of of like we're focusing on content and content creators and then you see like the linda horsefax 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
my wish for like the reason i can't i i wanna leave i loved actually what elon used to say about x which was like his north star kpi was maximizing do you know what it was no unregrettable minutes spent on the app
i like that
very hard to quantify but i like that thinking
most networks are most like it's all about attention so then tiktok does this really well
really well
i always regret my minutes spent though
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 off it like it's really like because it's so good so i do regret i usually doesn't care i don't regret on no they don't i don't regret on farcaster don't think i ever look and go ugh i just spent way too much time i really don't
so then what makes you not regret i regret all my time on twitter these day i used to love yeah twitter because i would go and feel smarter when i would leave
right yeah i felt that's great point
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
yeah that can be it's weird like 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 wanna see that in the crypto sphere but i and i have to block like there's so much it's like kinda surprising how much sexual content there is i'm like it this is like pornhub i'm like why
weird but because it's intermixed in everything else so it's like oh politics news and now porn
yeah yeah and and i guess i have to like yeah i just do a lot of blocking and meeting so it it does regrettable it take so there is regrettable minutes for sure
like and then the feeling thing there's a feeling thing like of like how do i feel when i leave this platform re in 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 that's fail that's not good that's not good that's not how i wanna feel yeah so alright moving on i see we have at least half of los fomos in our green room so we gotta move this along adrienne to make sure we get we get this going
we do
just be chatting there's so much yeah

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 but yeah and then this from brad rewards leaderboard results this was a lot of fun lots of new faces in the top 30 which might be why we now are investigating
related news investigating collusion okay jose fid three zero eight seven after sporadic casting launches mesh mini app and rides it in regular casting to number one sharedogi 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 was my horse in this race this week i just love seeing it gabe einhorn new to fc this week debuts at number five 350 not a bad first week for a non crypto guy exploring faith real estate and vibes eric souls 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 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 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 $1.25 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 nounish 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 amethystara and some fire fits in fat fashion meme coveted 69 taken 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 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
was actually 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 till 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 it 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 kinda 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 kinda fun okay couple more quick things this from pichi 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 and 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 pichi and that was in the first draft so i'm assuming this is gonna be a paragraph post at some point so very cool couple more quick things okbanger mini word this is really fun by the way because now you can create your own mini word puzzle so okay banger christin 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 zmart 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
and lastly i'm not gonna play this but you should go check this out goldy goldytalks 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 and i saw a couple people talking about the election and or the primary i should
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 we 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
because you know what
it's not a it's not a brood it's not a politics podcast
can we talk about can we do metapolitics like just to chat about like we're living through times
may you live in interesting times there you go curse please it's a curse
i know you love it i know you love it alright we need to bring up our guests i'm really excited so we're bringing up tako and pauline to the stage here they come hey gm los fomos how are you today
we are great so glad to have you here i don't know why it's taken us so long to do this this should've happened sooner but thank you for getting this all organized adrienne because this is super fun and we had i have to do hold on i gotta get this this cast up because it's really really funny hold on not that one but this one first los fomos has been all over my timeline what goes on in los fomos 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 would you like to those 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
it's a year already i think it's over a year actually because it started kind of at the time of on chain summer last year
okay yeah so yeah
about this time last year amazing yeah so tell everyone a little bit about what is los fomos and yeah where what have you been up to
yeah i think that's the most popular question is like especially regarding the channel like what exactly is los fomos and
i will jump oh
you jump in now holly yes
i think one in i
wanna know where tako is if she at the bar she can order drinks for us and then i was gonna say around
yeah i could use a drink like i have a fan pointed at my face right now because it's so hot and i don't have an i don't have an ac here so like it's
not a
it's not a uyghur thing to have an ac so that is fun
very uruppur very uruppur no ac
tako tako gave me a drink like order me one as well
yeah we wanted to know if you were ordering drinks at the bar what was going on
no no it wasn't the order and the drink i was just asked about the timing in this phase and stuff
oh that's funny
yeah but yeah what i was saying yeah like it's the most popular question i guess what is los fomos and what's going on with los fomos i think i will start from the show because it's kind of the reason why we're even here asomos is a show that brings 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
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 almost almost as the place in our heads existed before we're dreaming about this place because i mean paul and i we're at irl so we were 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 like decided to join farcaster 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 v one 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 fomos first episodes you actually can find that we have like
two hour things
yeah but many such cases when you go back to early anything it's really pretty funny like if you watch our early gm farcaster it is torturous i'm gonna go into that kind fun kind of funny go into that yeah go ahead it's it's amusing and it and they're much shorter so it's easy to do
oh 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 funny
we made a video and we posted it yesterday when we started the crowd fund 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 due because of covid so it was super short notice university decided to do that so we were supposed to meet but yeah
oh that's so funny okay so how often do you
guys record los fomos 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 from
oh right yeah
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 lay 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
right so which is very cool and i think that's you know that's something that we're seeing now is people are like interested in they're getting interested in crypto from just being on farcaster 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 coproduced an irl show babe now you can los fomos is the first on chain native farcaster born show with irl ambition to onboard the masses we're turning l f into irl production with real sets cameras chaos fave 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 l f 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 gonna be the production like what's involved so people understand what it is that they're supporting
yeah i'm gonna start and let tako chime in if she wants to so first to start with the plan of what we 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 fomos wink wink and
i love it
yeah so we want to make it very like los fomos 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 yeah it's
the vibe
i see it yep like living room you know like palm trees as well so we don't know them 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 lfrs lfrs is people that we feel really represent this personality that we see in los fomos 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 but not only donating sharing the link because it helps us so much i'm pretty sure we will get everyone fed up with los fomos and their crowdfunding link in the next few days and then that's the goal and apart from that
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
by the
way oh
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
there's some great farcasters in paris too you've got kageous 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 i know they've done some really good meetups in for farcaster 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
it's kind of a good question because like we want to like it obviously depends also on the funds and how fast it will go like i think pow 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 even there somewhere near is much higher so that will be like the second question that we will 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
yeah
and calling yeah arjan someone mentioned arjan is there samuel huber i think in switzerland so he'd be another good one there's a lot that are in paris so calling all the europeans to paris for los fomos there we go we need you all to go to paris good i think it's gonna be really fun
shout out to ariane by the way he is one of our old og supporters same with samuel by the way both of them
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 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
tako is where she's asking matthew what his king is that's the last
one oh
and he didn't answer boring
he didn't answer
no 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 like for instance blake's episode
i think we were a little bit more aggressive with with our questions trying to provocate how to make choices that was funny with voice 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 fomos we're trying to build not just you know the fact that okay there was 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 lever you can be a crew member you can be producer if you are subscribed to hypersub and it also gives you access to the channel we have a mixologist that's 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 roles in you know in ecosystem what kind of permissions and access they will have but it will definitely go up in hierarchy of roles because it's one of the most important moments in the development of los fomos because it's basically taking something that we built in the field of farcaster and trying to bring it to the wider world and then to bring them back to us
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 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 two but 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
it's gonna be so fun like trying to set everything up yeah in a
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 kagucha she's really like i know 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 adrienne and if you guys wanna throw us a couple spicy questions we'll take them as well so but adrienne hit them hit them with some lightning round let's do it
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 farcaster 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
well they haven't met in real life yet
yeah that's right
i think i don't remember anything before that so my life like before like it has some 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 well 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 i looked up 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 tako and the basically that was
like cool
how about for you how
yeah so your story inspired my story i'm gonna tell the story of how i met press 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 audios 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 same the trip where i met adrienne maybe you as well nounishprof i don't know but we
don't think so don't think so
yeah it was just funny because cool when someone is so unknown and then they're like whispering in your ear like this is me you're like what strange yeah
really fun
alright adrienne hit hit him with a few more questions and i know we're short on time
that's okay i said i had a hard stop at 09:30 right yeah i mean it's like i said hard stop we have to say hard stop when it's really a little bit after
we also touched
on alright we're gonna go okay so lightning round will will be true to it we'll fix pow favorite channel on farcaster
los fomos i'm sorry tako's in question
okay pirate fits nice
taco night owl pow
depends on the day mostly night owl
they're young
that gets our mom our mom shackles up we're like mom just get some sleep
what's wrong with you
you go first
i'm just gonna say georgia georgia the country not the state obviously
birds
okay
oh wow cool
lunch yesterday
i didn't buy lunch directly with crypto it was
like someday
in your was it a mental thing of like i just earned this on farcaster and i'm not gonna buy myself lunch yes it was yeah yeah
i think the last thing i did was i bought someone's nft but i don't remember which one
i always love that's my favorite question if you're in the chat tell me what the last thing you bought with crypto is i love
it's a good question
okay that's a great question if you could bring one person living or dead to farcaster who would it be
oh great one
i'm not sure if he was social media person but i think it will be that is his channel would be my my channel
that's a good one
i'm gonna go for virgil abloh because the culture the creativity farcast would boom
yep yep and he but he would be complaining about the design every day
but it would be fun 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
bot bracky bracky
bracky is my friend bracky yeah because i'm not really interacting with bots that much
neither do i and i will say that i don't have a favorite at the moment prefer the people for now
the change you'll have to you'll have to meet warpee he'll be helpful to you
say hi to warpee.eve
off to
eat eat
never a kiwi skin
like an apple
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
enjoy it how does it feel when you swallow the kiwi with like the kiwi skin isn't like like
weird never know
we'll have to ask metallic
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 this was a joke it was
it's it's not obvious yeah we figured
right we i i guess we need disclaimers before someone's going off and eating bananas with the skin on okay
that would save me so much time i don't buy kiwi sometimes because i'm too lazy to peel them no you just cut them
that's another option good to know
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 them
what guests would you not reinvite
what guests would we not reinvite oh i don't think there is anyone that we've had that i wouldn't reinvite is there she has a look in
her face i'm i'm checking my notes app i can't actually think of anyone so i was gonna go check our playlist of like all of our guests that we've had on
yeah there's nobody i wouldn't reinvite i that i can think well hold on

no because i definitely would reinvite him i was gonna say proxy i think but honestly i'd love to have him back because i have lots of questions
yeah we have a show
questions
we have a show recorded with proxy and dish and we didn't release it so you were thinking about doing that at some point yeah
you need to release that yeah 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 adrienne i can't think of anybody
i mean also like we tend to bring friends on because we like they're all farcaster people yeah and everyone's been i'm like literally scrolling through i'm like loved that i loved everyone's been great
everyone's been great so i don't think there's anybody i'd be like oh god no i never want them back
