4:21Speaker 1

i think he's also in his like tree forecaster like instagram which is like i'll post my photos i won't make a comment and i'm gonna ignore all the hate because he got a little bit of it so good to know

4:32Speaker 0

bit on this i didn't even notice

4:34Speaker 1

no i just no no no

4:35Speaker 0

okay okay alright like

4:37Speaker 1

like over the over the years yeah that's all

4:40Speaker 0

yeah but i i did love that and i did love your comment i thought that was hilarious we do have this going on this week this is a big week this is a big week and stan with crypto has been not yesterday crypto but stan with crypto has been working really really hard for years to get to this point this is the week when there will be a vote up or down the the first thing that happens is a cloture vote cloture vote means they have the votes to actually put the vote forward this is just like to close the question it's a procedural kind of thing but that's what's gonna happen first before they even take a vote on the bill itself usually if you have the cloture votes you have the votes to pass the bill so rarely does it not work out like that so this is from stan with crypto today 21 stan with crypto chapter presidents founders and advocates from michigan georgia north dakota south dakota oklahoma texas nevada arizona virginia and california are in washington meeting with senate offices ahead of the clarity act cloture vote it is time to move forward with the clarity act and then we had this from them as well this week in crypto the senate is back monday the clarity act cloture vote is september 15 that is tomorrow the national sheriffs association just shifted from opposed to neutral we'll take it stan with crypto was on the road in the bronx in elizabeth city and on the hill meeting with senate staff to make the case directly tell your senators to vote yes on advancing clarity on tuesday so lots of stuff happening i also saw something from senator lummis who's been forefront on this and she did say that they did come to some agreements on the ethics part of it that the democrats were pushing for so we'll see that would help with that and that the white house was agreeing to it so we'll see what happens this week so look for that this week so we'll have some more information on that when we are on on thursday in other really big news

6:56Speaker 0

emily jr was on with jason and lance

7:02Speaker 0

i mean this week in startups guess what he was talking about

7:06Speaker 1

he talks about one thing and one thing only

7:10Speaker 0

grok has money so this was from emily junior that was that was such a blast talking with jason and lon about one of the crazier occurrences involving ai and social media the grok has money situation for march 2025 which is still developing to this day what happens when an ai social media user earns money unintended of its creators thank you for having me on this week at startups my mom and dad are going to be proud we are proud too

7:38Speaker 1

yes your other moms your forecaster moms are proud of you too

7:42Speaker 0

older sister or aunts like

7:44Speaker 1

yeah fine i know i know i know

7:47Speaker 0

but yes we're very proud of you because i know you worked hard to get on that show

7:53Speaker 1

oh my god did you see have you followed his activity he had the best weekend i'm so happy

8:00Speaker 0

i didn't see the rest of the weekend i did see this okay

8:02Speaker 1

well it's all fallout i mean he just yeah kinda rode rode the wave awesome and he gave this week in startups he said that was the first mainstream media that covered graca's money and i took a little offense to that

8:17Speaker 0

okay now i'm taking it back now i'm taking it back

8:21Speaker 1

because i thought we were mainstream but whatever

8:23Speaker 0

we're not mainstream oh are you saying we're niche that we're niche media of some sort because okay fine adrienne's my farcaster mom and i think she's younger than me

8:36Speaker 1

i just look at i just the older the the older i get and then i act it too the older i get the less serious i get by the way the farcaster mom meme came from farcon new york

8:48Speaker 0

just so

8:49Speaker 1

you guys know

8:50Speaker 0

and it

8:50Speaker 1

just be and and it came from

8:55Speaker 1

the farcaster formerly known as thumb who i had never met in real life and when i met him in person he came up to me gave me the biggest hug and just called me mom he's like you're our mom

9:07Speaker 0

yeah

9:07Speaker 1

and it was hilarious and i just kinda went with it so no i don't think i'm old enough to be emily junior's mom

9:13Speaker 0

no we're definitely not definitely not on your hand possible also no no also no i think he's i think he's about the same he might be older than emily junior i'm not sure anyway yeah mfers get it done this is true true story at least that mfer that's for sure

9:35Speaker 0

then we had this

9:38Speaker 0

if you're shocked that they changed the name back to coinbase wallet raise your hand no no one no one so the base app is now coinbase wallet build for speed trade anything anywhere without asking permission so this was like the least shocking thing that happened knew this was gonna happen by the way the funniest thing i saw were people like people were saying oh you should change the name like like oh we did it in twenty four hours no we didn't no we didn't have you ever worked with the apple store no this has been in the works for a while they've been doing this for a while like this has been in the plans for a couple months they've been working on this as soon as they added another chain that should have been a big red flag that like it's not gonna be called baseapp anymore like as soon as they got a robinhood but also they never should have changed it in the first place they never should have changed the name like it was hard to understand so when i was having like students download it it was hard to explain what it was when it was base app like i used to have them download it as coinbase wallet and then like switching to base app it was like harder to explain that this is a wallet so

10:51Speaker 1

but it's also i i mean incubating a a chain that is trying to be neutral within a publicly traded corporation in the united states it's also that's confusing yeah because the incentives don't line up

11:06Speaker 0

right but also and then also go ahead

11:10Speaker 1

no i was saying and it's and it mirrors the issue we had with farcaster as a protocol and farcaster as an app yeah which you know the like the farcaster app used to be called farcaster in the beginning and they changed that to warpcast because we wanted some clarity between kind of a credibly neutral protocol i'm using this as a comp for like the base chain

11:31Speaker 0

right

11:31Speaker 1

right right and then you realize well that's too confusing for people let's just have the kind of the entity swallow back so

11:38Speaker 0

right so i'm glad that they did this and i believe i would be on the lookout in the next couple of weeks especially if the clarity act passes they've been exploring a token for a while part of that exploration was waiting for regulatory clarity not clarity either the clarity act or feeling comfortable to launch a token if the clarity act passes i would say that's more than likely that you'll see a token sooner rather than later so we'll see and jesse had said something like he had posted something that said it's time and it's like okay that's gotta be what he's talking about but i could be wrong

12:19Speaker 1

i don't know

12:19Speaker 0

but i'm usually not wrong haven't been wrong yet so we'll see

12:26Speaker 0

all right moving on one last one last bit of non farcaster news i i don't know if you saw this this morning but this blew my freaking mind i woke up at like 5am because that's what you do when you're this age and pulled my phone up and this was all over my feed all over the place alanis morissette came out with brandi carlile was playing red rocks she came out in the encore they did uninvited and i highly recommend if you're a woman of a certain age that you go watch this in other words if you're a gen x woman you want to watch this and everyone should watch this but you can even just skip ahead to the part where they start to rock at a level that is amazing and the orchestra plays and it is incredible and there's hair whipping and it is amazing and it will blow your mind

13:23Speaker 1

okay and we can't play it i assume

13:25Speaker 0

i i'm not gonna get copyrighted so we're not gonna play it but if you like move ahead to like let me see if i could there you go now you'll start to see some some stuff happening they just start going off and it is she's got an orchestra back there too like there's a cello play there's like it's it's phenomenal absolutely phenomenal so i cannot i cannot recommend it enough so

13:52Speaker 1

and i want your algorithm too

13:54Speaker 0

there you go there's the hair whipping like it was everything it was everything well you know where i found it threads oh threads it was all over my thread

14:06Speaker 1

i was just gonna say because my entire algorithm is reaction to dario's

14:10Speaker 0

blog

14:11Speaker 1

post from saturday

14:12Speaker 0

i was like i don't even talk about that enough already no this was this was my my threads algorithm is just perfection it's perfection so then i went on to tiktok to find the video so that i could share it for all of you so you wouldn't have to like link over so but it is kind it's a phenomenal moment that like people are gonna be talking about for a long time i'm just telling you it was incredible yeah we didn't really going back to this real quick we didn't really talk about dario

14:47Speaker 0

so

14:51Speaker 0

yeah they're so now the openai and anthropic are all like we've got gotta slow down in other words we got a regulatory capture real quick because things are getting out of control and we need more time to put the harness on so that's the way i took that i don't know how did you take it

15:07Speaker 1

i mean i will unless you wanna talk about it there's plenty of opinions on twitter so go there and make your own opinion

15:15Speaker 0

okay i like that

15:18Speaker 1

i will i just my my issue with twitter is it gives the illusion of transparency like oh we're all operating with the same amount of information people are going direct you know yeah and it's total falsity and so i i don't think we need to be gm ai today

15:37Speaker 0

yeah not today

15:38Speaker 1

i it's

15:39Speaker 0

there that's that's why i didn't really pull any of that like i pulled it last week because i felt like linda had a nice take that i wanted to pull in and that's why i pulled that in when when the jacob dude from anthropic quit and all that

15:55Speaker 1

yeah but and that was even all in from friday i actually had a decent conversation about it and this was before dario's post of the weekend specifically i think friedberg had a lot of kind of good takes on it so

16:09Speaker 0

okay i haven't listened to them in a while maybe i'll i'll dive in it's been a minute

16:14Speaker 1

yeah and by the way so it's not that twitter doesn't have transparency it's just just because someone can post something on twitter doesn't mean they're not operating behind

16:23Speaker 0

right

16:24Speaker 1

you know coordinated coordinated efforts and where's jeff goldberg

16:31Speaker 0

i don't know

16:31Speaker 1

we need to talk about inauthentic stuff yeah jump in here

16:35Speaker 0

but openai also announced that they were not they were definitely not gonna have an ipo this year so that was another thing that was out there which was expected to be this year so and that was part of that conversation i think as well so we shall see i did see jason from all in post something about that like that's what that's the regulatory capture by the way total side note all in couple years ago their conference that they had their their thing they do summit summit thank you when they had and i'm gonna forget his name the big guy from he did a thing on regulatory capture and it was so good i'll try and find it post it because it was so good it blew my mind and it was just really really good and it's and it's what immediately i thought of and i can't think of it

17:27Speaker 1

so there's so much happening today can i just give i was this close to going this year

17:30Speaker 0

oh i didn't know that and i

17:32Speaker 1

was this close to going this year because i was chatting with poe on two weeks ago and our good friend of the yeah friend of the pod poe is organizing for like the fourth year like a woman's brunch

17:43Speaker 0

oh cool

17:43Speaker 1

at all in and i had now i have a daughter who's in college in los angeles i'm like oh i have a reason but it's like too much travel these days i have too much other stuff going on so i'm like maybe next year but i was like kinda tempted to go

17:57Speaker 0

i would go that one like still that's that particular thing still rings in my head like sometimes they just have like a really good speaker that just nails some things and all

18:10Speaker 1

their talks will be on their like you can listen to other talks there's really no reason and yeah i don't know someday

18:18Speaker 0

yeah exactly

18:19Speaker 1

we have jeff in the audience

18:21Speaker 0

oh hey jeff hi

18:24Speaker 1

can i just like i'm doing really good

18:26Speaker 0

please bring back the good old vibes we we're not in charge of the vibes we we we help with the vibes but we're not like fully in charge of the vibes who is

18:36Speaker 1

is the forecasters or should we let the intern know they need to know you are you are

18:40Speaker 0

all in charge of the vibes you're all in charge of the vibes and here's the thing just before we even jump into farcaster news which we have very little the big news is we have no news we don't know we still don't have any information about the acquisition we don't know when anything's happening but as soon as we know we'll be here to tell you property you're so

19:03Speaker 1

bad at media finger you're supposed to say we're gonna cover the news at the end of

19:08Speaker 0

the week hopefully we'll have breaking news yeah

19:11Speaker 1

and we'll let you know what we know after our celebration

19:14Speaker 0

after our celebration

19:17Speaker 0

all right yes exactly yeah there's a there's a investor situation as well yeah there's that but they they always know that they got a long road anyway investors know they're in for the long haul they're not they're not in for a short short flip

19:33Speaker 1

there's so many angles there's just so

19:34Speaker 0

many angles

19:36Speaker 1

to the ai stories that it's like it's interesting

19:42Speaker 0

but the interesting thing is that they're all agreeing which i'm sorry that doesn't happen by accident if you think they all just decided to agree on twitter like oh yeah so you're right no the conversations were had

19:58Speaker 1

well the guy whoever the guy was right who just posted on thursday that first one and this is what they're saying on all in like the wall street journal had a story about it

20:06Speaker 0

yeah

20:07Speaker 1

that they published like it was like as he was posting it so it all it was like a little coordinated

20:13Speaker 0

yeah

20:13Speaker 1

it wasn't like an accident that you're weird also the guy was like new to twitter had no followers like how does he get right so yeah like who are the people who are

20:23Speaker 0

who's gonna elevate that right

20:25Speaker 1

within the first fifteen minutes of a like it's just so actually i will say the only thing i was thinking about so and and olin was discussing this too is from a social media perspective like because this is kind of how they were talking about like what if things are happening in the ai world what if there was only one like back to like they were bringing up the covid issues

20:46Speaker 0

oh okay

20:47Speaker 1

when you have less free social media or social media colluding with the government about kind of like what are the things you can or can't say how important it is to be able to have kind of neutral media or access to post information and they're so thankful you know elon took over x yada yada yada but to me that just keeps underscoring like you know how we are like oh no one cares about decentralized social anymore but i think it's just what are the certain truths that like that just this is my personal take up like why i was drawn to farfaster in the beginning was like how do you create systems that will kind of like ensure that you have more chances for freedom of speech right they talk a lot about open source as the answer for

21:33Speaker 0

right oh that was the thing

21:34Speaker 1

i would say centralized control like really good open source conversations

21:37Speaker 0

might disappear right mhmm

21:41Speaker 1

because it's all power right like they're looking at it through the lens of power grabs and consolidation of power and you can look at other past technological revolutions and same thing have happened so kind of like open source being the answer to that and i think from the you know from a speech perspective then i think a like a neutral social network that no one controls like some sort of open source should

22:08Speaker 0

be actually and this makes me very bullish on venice ai but also mhmm will they try and shut them down so that's interesting because they have all different models so we'll see

22:22Speaker 1

i just checked out you can't shut down open source though

22:25Speaker 0

you can't shut down open source i just looked it up it was bill gurley presents 2,851 miles and that's what it was and it was the all in summit twenty twenty four and i'll put the link in our show notes because it was really really good and i recommend everybody if you're curious about regulatory capture and what that means and how governments and and tech and and startups you know sort of butt heads and why some you know things happen it's all the way he's his perspective of that was looking at through the lens of uber and it was very very interesting so highly recommend you give it a watch because i feel like it has a lot of parallels to what we're seeing what we we haven't seen yet with ai but i think we're about to see is is what i'm guessing so very interesting more to come i am sure all right code wants to be free it does it does all right this from brad q twenty nine seconds of farcaster what did you miss this weekend gm farcaster turned three yesterday we did celebrating the third anniversary today on the show we are one of the remarkable things on fc and a true culture builder thanks nounish prof and adrienne for the hard work and the shenanigans here's some lore from show one and we'll talk about that in just a bit the lobby continues to bring the fun and make fc better with trivia poker and they just added college and pro football if that's your thing yesterday they were doing it might still be going on or might just be about to end twenty four hours of nfl trivia i did not even jump in there i was busy and also like i knew brad was gonna win them all anyway so i didn't think there was any need for me to bother i just i just didn't have time but also i love the trivia in the lobby app but they're also doing she's burr and plants are doing some cool things with with football so check that out chris co created initiated a conversation on fc culture that was interesting here's the final summary but you can chase down the quote cast so there you go we i think we had that in our show notes the other day and speaking of the lobby the lobby has new fall additions nfl survivor 200 usdc worth of prizes i think i'm still in it hopefully i haven't checked nfl weekly fantasy 25 usdc weekly prizes cfl weekly fantasy 25 usdc weekly prizes any active farcaster who is not blocked may enter each of these any better believers eligible for two entries explanation how to play is in this cast and then also look for trivia new trivia topics this week coming up and then this so we were getting ready to do some shout outs i'm just gonna scroll up here so we we were you know saying hey you know we're talking about a shout outs to that we did for collective memory they purchased shout out from us adrienne has created this whole agentic it was her way to play around with x four zero two and create ways for agents to buy a shout out on our show and we also added an opportunity to do with warpy and bankr and schmidtiest was like bankr make me an app for sending a shout out to gm farcaster and make sure when i use it i'm prompted to include a tip that gets split between adrienne and shprop and then just went on to build this thing and it like i kept getting notifications because i kept you know cause he's mentioning me as he's working with banker to build this and i think it's working but schmidtiest you're awesome that's all just wanted to love it

26:04Speaker 1

yeah love the energy yeah this is the best of farcaster right just and i don't mean farcaster farcaster but just in general what like an open ecosystem attracts people is like you can you know people share apis you can build on top of it there's zero reason that schmidias needs to build an app to do this zero zero like the there's an api you can just call it directly from your terminal you can ask warpy to do it whatever you can ask banker to do it like banker will just do it he there's a skill but the idea of like oh well how do you add on top it's like people love to remix like when you put things out that are open source or open apis so he chose to remix it he also didn't need to also give a tip to us because spoiler alert the shout out fee comes to us like we're

26:50Speaker 0

yeah so that

26:51Speaker 1

we don't need the tip on top of it but i really like people who play like i like tinkerers so thank you schmidtiest we appreciate

26:59Speaker 0

i just enjoyed and i kept seeing these things pop up in my notifications and i yeah warp you can do it tell them

27:06Speaker 1

tell me your tell me you don't watch gm farcaster without telling me you don't watch gm farcaster

27:15Speaker 0

links like oh wait that wasn't the one but i literally we really we posted we posted a couple of times while we were getting ready for the show today that like you could just ask warpy to do a shout out like yeah it's because if you wanted one for today's show yeah

27:28Speaker 1

hey tag warpy dot eath book me a shout out on gm forecaster and warpy will handle it happen

27:36Speaker 0

yeah we'll walk you through it and if

27:38Speaker 1

anyone does it right now i will i'll give you a shout out before the end of the show

27:42Speaker 0

you

27:43Speaker 1

can go past the deadline maybe

27:46Speaker 0

we can do it and the banker terminal you can do it there as well but now there might even be a whole new app to do it so very cool i just love that he was building on this and i kept getting notifications and i'm like what is he building like what is he building and then

28:03Speaker 1

by the way when he said oh send it to adrienne and nanesh prop

28:07Speaker 0

yeah

28:07Speaker 1

he's like yep i got these two addresses and i'm like i've never seen this address but i realized so banker i guess gives anyone who has a forecaster id their own banker wallet right

28:16Speaker 0

so this is just

28:17Speaker 1

like an embedded wallet or any that is not necessary they spin one up right through

28:22Speaker 0

okay

28:23Speaker 1

that so i guess theoretically and i'm not super active in the banker ecosystem but i guess theoretically yeah that would be a wallet just like just like grok right has money right we could we could have money in the bank or not know it

28:35Speaker 0

grok has money i had no idea this is the first i've heard of it it's crazy yeah you so yeah it it does spin you up a wallet so that's why yeah everybody has a banker wallet that's why grok has that's why grok has money that's exactly why so anyway yeah very cool that he was building this thing i was like oh this is neat alright let's jump into some birthday fun

29:03Speaker 1

hey i'm

29:03Speaker 0

going to start here this was your post from the other day three years ago today that was yesterday nanushprof and i live stream for eighteen minutes and thirty five seconds on a little crypto streaming platform called unlonely for what was episode one of gm farcaster since then we have curated covered and archived the most important and interesting developments that have happened on farcaster 386 livestream news shows now 387 plus plenty of other special events and content our massive archive of farcaster news is a gift to future historians i just checked our earliest episodes to see what type of casts we were curating back in september 2023 and the one from ted made my heart feel full tayab asked for it to be minted and archived and later when dwr and v gave us mintable cast i minted it for a dollar and the cast is also stored in the gm farcaster archive gmfarcaster.com episode episode slash e p four if you go to the website you can find that for episode four the through all the highs and lows over the years building farcaster's number one new show with nounish prof has brought me immense satisfaction and joy happy anniversary to us really what a wild ride what a wild ride this all started with just like hey you wanna have coffee online in front of other people and just talk about what's what and that was the i love farcaster that was the cast

30:34Speaker 0

and that's how it all like began it was just let's just have coffee over you know in the morning and we'll talk and it literally we early days we did not go over twenty one minutes we really didn't there wasn't that much to talk about

30:51Speaker 1

yeah there really wasn't so it was we would curate like six casts like there'd be like six things that we would talk about yeah

31:02Speaker 0

and it was only on unlonely that was it and it was only minted and so if you wanted to watch a recording you had to watch it on zora you could watch it on zora or you can mint it to your wallet and watch it in your wallet but we didn't put it anywhere else early days and it was a really experiment of seeing can we do this fully on chain spoiler alert not quite

31:24Speaker 1

i mean you technically could have like we technically could have you just we did reach as many people right and we missed and we were limited our reach we also we didn't if you remember we would meet on google meet correct and stream through obs

31:41Speaker 0

beast i hate that thing

31:42Speaker 1

on lonely right and then and twice like two of our first few episodes we don't have recordings of

31:48Speaker 0

nope yeah episode is it episode three was the last episode or is it two it's two or three that's completely gone where we had a third host stephanie rish's wife was making granola while we were talking and that one got completely garbled where we could not even salvage it yeah and hypersize yeah correct there

32:12Speaker 1

32:25Speaker 0

okay i'll look at it in a second

32:28Speaker 1

but lol yeah

32:33Speaker 0

zora was by the way zora it always took me a long time to upload as well mhmm on zora but we did it like i just we just battled through and we would do this before we go like i would go to work i would do this and then try to get things recorded whatever and then had to work so it was it was kind of a crazy thing but anyway so that that's that first cast of way back which way back i know i was looking at some photos of me from like five years ago like it's not that long and i'm like oh my god

33:08Speaker 1

don't do it

33:09Speaker 0

oof oof these have been five rough years that's because crypto time every year is like five years so it's been twenty years so i think i look pretty good for seventy you look great there you go we had a couple little comments that i just wanted to share this is from symbiotec happy anniversary best not twenty nine minutes on the internet that was funny and then yeah berserker happy third three year anniversary thank you for all you do around here and this from geez mike he couldn't quite he was trying to figure out the the shout out thing didn't quite get there but i did wanna share this he was one of the ones who played cast out this this last time around i just wanna make take a moment to say how thankful i am for these two and gm farcaster as a whole you gave me a random chance that completely changed my time here and i can't imagine what it would have been like without always grateful for the kindness and support love you both so i just wanted to share those before i go into our official shout outs let me just double check and make sure nothing new came in so i don't

34:13Speaker 1

there's missing got one more okay

34:17Speaker 0

okay alright hold on one second i gotta do i gotta pull that real quick real quick we're gonna we're gonna add a we're gonna add a new shout out real fast

34:27Speaker 1

so we have by the way

34:29Speaker 0

professor here while i do this okay

34:30Speaker 1

so i build all our internal tools yeah talk about

34:33Speaker 0

what you built this year because you built okay so many things it's been so many things

34:38Speaker 1

so i have an internal tool we have a whole internal dashboard that has a handful of tools so anytime someone books a shout out

34:46Speaker 0

that didn't exist in two weeks a

34:48Speaker 1

few months ago i think

34:49Speaker 0

yeah six months ago bit yeah

34:52Speaker 1

or actually maybe a little longer but anyway so anyone who books a shout out it'll come up in a little queue so professor can see them so she doesn't have to ask me to check i don't have to check our database it's in our dashboard but then she takes them and puts it on a nice little like visual that she'll yeah professor i could also automate that for you like if you just want that on a

35:14Speaker 0

that seems like a lot of work for you

35:16Speaker 1

because because we just got an extra one come in she's doing her manual step

35:20Speaker 0

yeah that's okay it took me two seconds it's like should we you know there's some things it's like should we automate it is it really necessary or can i just you know take one second to update myself you know

35:35Speaker 1

oh my god yeah i miss brackie so much this football season

35:38Speaker 0

i miss brackie so much period

35:41Speaker 1

i didn't even do anything with brackie because i don't really like sports or yeah

35:45Speaker 0

but i miss brackie i like talking to him i miss him

35:49Speaker 1

yeah that's right i like i like the blue i liked his face his little smile

35:55Speaker 0

his little face miss his little face

35:57Speaker 1

i like braggie the person

35:59Speaker 0

yes braggie the person all right i'm going to go to our shout outs first and then we are going to whoops let me remove that then we are going to wait did that go up that did not go up there we go then we're gonna kinda walk through some highlights from this past year and all our guests and it's a wild ride but first some shout outs that we had come in this from oddjob you both created my farcaster cozy corner and filled it with fun and knowledge thank you and congrats on three years and that was via warpy happy birthday you two have been a joy to watch this year fab show cheers this is from oh dear crypto via warpy as well via warpy as well then we had this happy birthday gm farcaster from all the weird warplets on farcaster say angel via warpy and then finally last minute according to primary sources from apple contrary to popular belief the iphone duo isn't named for its two screens but because it's the same shape as the duo de numb that's from linxvia warpy yes yes you can say whatever and we'll likely as long as it's within reason we will say it on the show

37:18Speaker 0

so thank you linx do you

37:20Speaker 1

know what a duodenum is how do you pronounce it duodenum duodenum

37:26Speaker 0

duodenum i have no idea

37:27Speaker 1

that sounds honestly it sounds

37:29Speaker 0

like it's duodenum i'm trying to duodenum that's how symbia was writing it out for us but i don't know if i got it

37:38Speaker 1

i imagined it was a shape like a dodecahedron or something oh no it's the first and shortest section of the small intestine lovely located directly after the stomach

37:54Speaker 0

so i think

37:55Speaker 1

this is do do d y o r if you wanna believe this problem

38:00Speaker 0

definitely yeah

38:00Speaker 1

like it's probably named after two screens

38:03Speaker 0

no no no reason to d y o r sounds right sounds right sounds completely accurate

38:08Speaker 1

it neutralizes acid mixes enzymes absorbs nutrient it okay okay

38:20Speaker 0

brad oh that's funny so and i have to just say you know shout out to links links there's some of you in here who have been here since very early on lonely days links is one of them linx and why am i blanking holy shit why did i just go blank completely what they used to go back and forth in a chat and it was hilarious absolutely hilarious it was worth it just to be there and yes to crypto came in not long after and the reason that yes to crypto has an ens name is because it made it easier to spot him in the chat it would you could log in with farcaster it would pull your primary wallet or if you had an ens it would pull your ens so he bought an ens so that we would be able to see him in the chat so those are early early and lonely days and they were quite a ride and by the way if you haven't checked in on brian g lately

39:22Speaker 0

i'm just gonna say go give him a look just see what's up to that's all i'm gonna say i'm gonna leave it at that

39:30Speaker 1

he's had an arc he's he's on an arc

39:33Speaker 0

so he's on a he's on it's he's on something so yeah just go go check it out and i wish him well i wish him very well all

39:42Speaker 1

right as we do as we do everyone

39:44Speaker 0

41:03Speaker 1

nope dwr rish or jesse

41:05Speaker 0

not jesse

41:07Speaker 1

zal's warmer zal is warmer this is warm

41:12Speaker 0

41:29Speaker 1

yeah warmer warmer chompix is getting is the

41:35Speaker 0

i need i need more detail not faceapp

41:41Speaker 0

this is the warmest so far

41:46Speaker 0

i'll give you one more second

41:48Speaker 1

you said in the past year not cef

41:51Speaker 0

not cef

41:53Speaker 1

you said in the past year but also when you tell everyone what this is it's gonna feel like a decade ago

42:00Speaker 0

it is gonna right

42:01Speaker 1

like zoll i just feel like i

42:04Speaker 0

need a little bit more specificity and it's not c e f what do you and it's again what do you mean by clanker sorry yeah what do you mean by clanker

42:15Speaker 1

it is specific it is something to clanker oh we yeah

42:19Speaker 0

where's the clanker sound you know what where's the clinker sound go grab that clinker sound we forgot that there we go there we go clinker bought by merkel that was it so oops let me put this back up so that was our biggest livestream was dish and dish and rish dish and dwr i wanna move this thing this is gonna bug me it's gonna be in all my

42:51Speaker 1

by the way talk about looking younger and

42:55Speaker 0

can't see dish in this photo how do i get rid of that can you see him

42:59Speaker 1

can you see dish

43:00Speaker 0

okay oh maybe it's just me i'm seeing the controls so this is episode three zero three and dwr dwr and dish when farcaster bought clanker we had our highest livestream numbers ever and it was like at one point we had over 10,000 on simultaneously and that was the biggest one that we ever had so the clanker acquisition was the one that brought brought the people out brought the people to the to the board and it was it was crazy i was i remember watching the numbers go up and going oh my god oh my god like this is crazy totally wild totally wild so we also had a lot of fun things happen this year warpy launched this year did they know they were going to

43:53Speaker 1

no to sell to nanr they did not

43:55Speaker 0

no they no no that was way way earlier way way earlier way way earlier it was a couple few months but it felt way earlier

44:06Speaker 0

so warpy launched this year you launched warpy so dan had launched had cco'd this little warplit guy it went crazy on the timeline and two things happened at once you pulled him in and made him warpy and turned him into an ai agent and say angel created the warplets collection where you could turn your pfp into a warplet and that went bonkers that was like it was trending on opensea it was crazy crazy and that was back last fall so we're going from this is september 2025 to now is what we're looking at here this past year

44:52Speaker 1

wait i don't think that's true

44:54Speaker 0

it is true

44:55Speaker 1

i don't think no i think warpy launch i think warp like the warplet becoming c c zero was two years

45:03Speaker 0

ago it wasn't

45:03Speaker 1

warplets was a year ago

45:06Speaker 0

it wasn't

45:07Speaker 1

i didn't just

45:09Speaker 0

i'm telling you

45:10Speaker 1

i swear you're making

45:11Speaker 0

it might have been a little bit before warplets was definitely a year ago

45:15Speaker 1

warplets was a 100% a year ago warpi was pretty but warpi had been around for a long time before

45:21Speaker 0

he hadn't he hadn't i think you're it feels that way but it wasn't because even i when i looked back at our graphics and things there was like a clanker and a warpy battling it out that dan was creating i'm telling you it was all around that same time it was all around the same time

45:39Speaker 1

but i go back to like when dan was pushing here's my memory when dan was pushing vertical video which is really after that no because i was doing i was like play i was making a video this was like with what was openai's like video social network

45:56Speaker 0

oh yeah

45:56Speaker 1

using warpage what i think he open sourced the war i think he was like open source might have

46:02Speaker 0

it was around the same time though it was pretty close it was pretty close because when i was going through our stuff it all kinda fell into the same bucket but warpy when did you officially launch warpy

46:15Speaker 1

it was two two years ago

46:18Speaker 0

are you sure

46:19Speaker 1

was the yes because i

46:20Speaker 0

have blocked both of these set

46:21Speaker 1

like yeah brad you did

46:25Speaker 0

what did he say

46:28Speaker 1

when oh

46:28Speaker 0

he was born when were you born

46:30Speaker 1

but warpy doesn't know how to answer it

46:32Speaker 0

yeah he probably doesn't

46:34Speaker 1

alright you know what put a pin in this because let's keep he's been i feel like you shouldn't be fighting on our birthday

46:39Speaker 0

he took off he took off this year anyway and then in the fall we also had episode 300 live in new york so we were at aptos experience rip aptos aptos and we did it live from the hotel we were staying at after the aptos experience and that whole weekend was i i mean that whole little i think it was i don't know it might have been during the week was wild and a lot of fun and we went to the barclays center and we like it was crazy it was a crazy fun time so that was really fun we had a blast okay so oh sorry april okay okay i stand corrected i stand corrected we also did some other live streams that were not our usual like this you know this was sort of a unique one was the live from new york we also did a base camp recap so base camp had just happened and the recap was like september 18 or something like that you weren't there at base camp you missed it but a lot of folks are there and that's when siege got engaged was at base camp so that was a year ago base camp was a year ago

48:00Speaker 1

i yeah

48:01Speaker 0

let's yeah as we move forward that sounds

48:04Speaker 1

okay was your memory being at basecamp there was still it was still all like base app equals forecaster social pushing social and at that point

48:16Speaker 0

thinking that it would bring more people into farcaster but also there was the pushback on

48:23Speaker 1

on content

48:24Speaker 0

the content and creator points yeah like i was having those conversations there i was saying it to jesse right there but also basecamp itself was a blast and hanging out with a lot of the builders was a blast but there was also this group of like there were creators there that were specifically for the content creation portion of it and then there were builders there who were the people you see on the screen as well as you know a lot of others and we were hanging around the fire pits and talking and you know tldr was there we were talking about brackie kojo was there we're talking about ponder like there was you know pickleball and all those fun things and then people getting stranded on the mountain that was a whole big thing but this episode is really funny too if you want to relive basecamp from a year ago super funny episode it's it's not i gotta move it into the base playlist but right now it's just in our lives it took me a while to find it because i was trying to see i'm like i'm pretty sure that was in this year and it was but that was really funny and so it was also you know clanker was still you know really popping banker was still part of clanker i mean it was just like it's wild it's wild to like look back and see how much has happened since then in this past year so craziness then we had this live from dev connect so this was you i wasn't there

49:56Speaker 1

yeah so talk about dev connect

49:58Speaker 0

i miss this one

50:00Speaker 1

yeah this was i guess november we went down to buenos aires and this was linda was organizing volunteers for the forecaster booth so a bunch of us just from the community manned the booth

50:15Speaker 1

i will say looking back it was a little quiet even it started to get quiet like in the in the farcaster world in terms of like as volunteers we weren't getting a ton of

50:32Speaker 1

engagement or direction from like farcaster team being like hey help us onboard people it was like here's a booth go hang out there we still onboarded a ton of people we had a blast we clanked at dinner a a pancreas

50:47Speaker 0

right a pancreas

50:50Speaker 1

we were showing people like we were meeting we we we like anne and i were out to dinner and we had a whole bunch of people and we were showing them how to clank you know like our dinner pictures of our dinner and it paid for our dinner we had a blast and yeah and i was i was just as gm forecaster had media passes so half of us went so i got to get record from their podcast studio with lamone and w from splits will and debbie from privy and that was we had a we had a lot of fun so

51:22Speaker 0

so that's another one that i'd recommend if you haven't seen it good one to go back and watch these are like bonus episodes that really part of our full thing and then this happened in december we did a watch party for the coinbase system update totally forgot we did this we actually did it like almost twitch style because like you had the comments we had the comments like right on the screen while we were doing the watch party and like that's where so that was the moment that was supposed to be so you're back at base camp in september beta's open to more people you know it's they're exploring a token and the goal was by december like by the system update it would be open to everybody baseapp would be open to everybody so this was supposed to be the moment that like we're supposed to have this like you know million people that we're we're gonna see on farcaster and all this and i think everyone at that point was just like you know weren't sure if it was gonna be good or bad and then it was just like nothing really happened and then shit hit the fan shit hit the fan and brian armstrong was like got feedback that wasn't great and that changed the whole trajectory of where we are now back to coinbase wallet as of this week but that is less than a year like eight months

52:53Speaker 1

yeah

52:54Speaker 0

crazy craziness but i have to say this watch party was really fun like i was watching back and you can see the comments and stuff and it was really fun to hang out and watch this and like just be in the chat with with you know our usual chatters and the and the friends but i forgot about this completely forgotten about this that we did this so fun and then i forgot this was part of this past year i kinda i think i blocked it

53:22Speaker 1

yeah i was healthy

53:24Speaker 0

hold on one second i gotta switch i gotta switch hats hold on one second let me put this on for a minute put my put my cast out hat on so we did cast out four return to meme coin island thank you purple splits clanker and aptos who are our sponsors for this and literally like after that one i was like probably never doing this again because people were like took it a little too seriously is is what ended up happening the reason the dude lost his account is because he rage quit so that's why you find him as bribe there's a lot of lore that came out of that one so it was it was it didn't go great it was fun parts of it were really fun

54:20Speaker 1

it was stressful

54:21Speaker 0

it was the most stressful one we did yeah death of the dude's account exactly exactly it was the death of the dude's account because i couldn't get it back once you rage quit it's gone so

54:33Speaker 1

i hope no one has hard feelings i hope people do harbor

54:37Speaker 0

yeah i

54:38Speaker 1

hope not too hard feelings post it like that there was no permanent damage because

54:44Speaker 1

obviously that was never never our intent no

54:49Speaker 0

people just took it way too seriously and there was a lot of just like crazy stuff going on so anyway rip cast out doubt we'll ever bring that back i can't vision i can't imagine a situation where we do but you never know

55:06Speaker 1

i disagree

55:08Speaker 0

you do disagree

55:09Speaker 1

really yeah as a person who didn't organize or run it

55:14Speaker 1

or manage the group chats and get all the sleepless nights

55:19Speaker 0

yeah

55:21Speaker 1

i can see honestly

55:23Speaker 0

see there's plenty of better ways to do it now actually but yeah go ahead

55:27Speaker 1

yes but i can also see the i like the concept of a game that makes people use all of the things in a app like there there was testing all the different mini apps testing wallets stat like snaps whatever so i can see some sort of cast out version as like an onboarding challenge or true like someone if there's an organization or something that's onboarding mass people to farcaster i'm just pretending we're in a different place in farcaster right now guys for just to like but you know you can see building this for a specific group true or reason as opposed to a generic like you know or you do it and there's zero cash prizes because

56:13Speaker 0

yeah that was i think the biggest problem me thinking that more larger prizes was better was not the case not the case at all it was not the case mookie you're just gonna have to wait somebody's whining over there we run it again we keep

56:31Speaker 1

we keep the track record

56:32Speaker 0

we keep the prize speaking of mookie this was mookie's debut here this was a bonus episode that you missed as well this i think might have been my favorite episode of the whole year burt wurst and uncle horse and assistant one and mookie mookie was mookie had a moment and then he was like i'm out i'm getting down but this was one of my favorite episodes of the whole year so and it was so fun it was just fun and i loved it so another one that if you missed it you should really go watch it it was around like christmas time it was like right after christmas or something

57:11Speaker 1

yeah

57:12Speaker 0

so it was like you were on vacation i'm like i'm just gonna i'll just do it and it was so fun to have burtwurst live burtwurst live was really fun

57:25Speaker 0

then we had the breaking news so episode three thirty two neymar takes the keys we had breaking news during the show so we were been waiting and waiting and everybody had gone quiet for a couple months and it was just like a waiting didn't know what was going on and then during our interview with cassie about quilibrium we get this breaking news that nenar is acquiring barcaster and that was wild that was still wild to me that that happened like mid midstream like during the interview so we had to like pause a moment and like get ourselves together

58:12Speaker 0

then we also launched cef this year so we had that run for three months really appreciated dish and rish giving us that opportunity to reward builders and see if we could you know incentivize some fun things and i think there have been a lot of fun things there's still there's still things coming from it like the lobby is still doing some amazing stuff with what they've been what they've been doing with trivia and sports and all that so

58:39Speaker 1

yep

58:40Speaker 0

any other thoughts on that

58:41Speaker 1

quite hard lot lagadog poi yeah summer dogs kenny

58:47Speaker 0

crushed it kenny crushed it with the like be be if you get a grant be like kenny like really seriously fantastic fantastic and then far con rome far con rome

59:03Speaker 0

which was an amazing time but very different than the past two farcons i'd say very different from any farcon they're all they all have their own they all have their own vibe but this one was definitely there was a little bit of contentiousness with people having their own opinions about where they think forecasters should go so was that part of it but there was also like some really great builder energy in the room like incredible builder energy that i really appreciated and seeing what people were doing vinnie app autoboy like those moments like watching people talk about the

59:40Speaker 1

the bust project was great

59:41Speaker 0

the bust project was fantastic

59:43Speaker 1

the bust art was really cool

59:46Speaker 0

that was really cool and then all the kismet artists and and everything that they did in their auction was really cool so there was really some amazing moments at far conroe it was just very different definitely very different oh it's viewer number one or number two something like that hi chris

60:09Speaker 0

anything else about like this kinda all this stuff

60:16Speaker 0

just this is where this is where energy shifted for me was right around here it was right around farcon rome and it kind of started like it had already been shifting it kind of started to shift when things got quiet with merkel and then as the year went on it just kinda like energy level just kinda

60:36Speaker 1

no so it for me it shift okay for me and i think a lot of others major shift when merkel went hard into trading

60:45Speaker 0

yeah

60:45Speaker 1

it felt like this last ditch of like okay let's try we'll call it the zinger era because zinger i think got a lot of like as the public face of like trader persona

60:58Speaker 0

well he was hired to do it he was hired

61:00Speaker 1

to do it dan was like listen none of us are traders let's get someone in the trenches who can you know be the face and i have nothing personal against zenger he's like yeah a a friend he was an og forecaster for a long time i think we really like that hard pivot felt wrong to me so kind of point like it just it just i i didn't understand it because it also felt like a little disrespect to like anything else that was built as opposed to being like everything here that felt builder focused and trading it was like nope trading only like i don't know so that would that to me was the biggest like change

61:43Speaker 0

by december post then that was post clanker acquisition acquisition pre quiet pre like we're gonna sell so it was like early it was late november early december and then the quiet period came right after that

61:57Speaker 1

then you had quiet period and you were like okay what's like you know like

62:00Speaker 0

something's going on

62:01Speaker 1

something's going on and then earl like i think the neymar acquisition made sense to a lot of people and we talked about as well like so much respect for those guys rish i mean like also our our intro to rish at farcon one was so strong like you remember his we were just like oh he gave a talk and i was like okay now you like he just had such credentials not credentials like just literal like i not credentials credibility i i need to say not external credentials like just such credibility when he's showing what he's building and how he thinks and talks he's done he did forecaster infrastructure for so many years like he he felt like a builder like you know true builder so we were pretty optimistic it made sense for people who believe yep you know so even that i think when rish came to us and said like kind of announced the cef i think that was such a strong point of like yeah it was a good point of view of like hey look we're gonna try to give back to the community and builders he did it in a way where he was like fully trusting us as stewards to say like we're embedded in the community trusting us to kinda make independent decisions and so i even up to there it was like you know it was a we're all a little wait and see wait and see

63:18Speaker 0

yep

63:19Speaker 1

and then the summer he got quiet you know like it's like he did get quiet and he came back later and said you know he's doing some reflection he also had a kid like he had his he like they had their first kid like i know what that time is like

63:36Speaker 1

so i'd say similar to you but it was a little post like there's just a lot

63:42Speaker 0

of hesitation up and down this year it's been very up and down like the fall felt positive and then we get into like that november december time frame and it starts to get wonky and then the rest of this year has been a lot of up and down of like moments of like okay maybe i'm like well maybe not well maybe like just like this very much up and down throughout this year of like what is what is farcaster going to be and that impacts us like it just does because that's what we report on yeah market right market was very volatile

64:20Speaker 1

right and not just here right it's just the world in general we talked about this too like yeah you think this would look very different in like if crypto prices were different than where they're at of course like so it's yeah it's a it was a tough environment i mean i think we had talked about this a few months or weeks ago probably a few weeks ago post yeah resh's announcement but just like the world you know the world's in a very different place than it was when farcaster was you know like when the idea of farcaster came about

64:50Speaker 0

absolutely

64:53Speaker 1

by the way everyone on on twitter right now is wishing farcaster a happy birthday

64:57Speaker 0

it's not farcaster's birthday not farcaster's birthday it's our birthday it is gm

65:04Speaker 1

barncaster i don't know why there's confusion just i don't

65:07Speaker 0

i don't know why i don't get it by the way we still i mean for a while there like we still came up higher in rankings organic rankings on anything anytime you search yeah yeah so there you go even if you search on farcaster a lot of times you see gm farcaster first

65:26Speaker 0

alright so few other few other highlights

65:31Speaker 0

you you made many many many games in this year word today being obviously the premier

65:37Speaker 1

shout out vinnyap shout out vinnyap because vinnyap let me make a lot of things very fast yes word today was

65:43Speaker 0

word today was a was a much bigger effort and then i made a game i made die hard the game i was like i forgot about that like i made a little game

65:52Speaker 1

with ney neymar was that ney neymar studio

65:53Speaker 0

that was with ney neymar studio and that was back at christmas so i did it right around because die hard's a christmas movie and don't even

66:02Speaker 1

okay

66:03Speaker 0

don't even so that's why yeah mine is mine is christmas themed but that was really fun like to to be able as someone who's very nontechnical to be able to actually pull off creating anything was amazing but you really crushed it with various games and then when we launched the token on the stream which we did just as like an educational kind of thing

66:25Speaker 1

so that one right and that was not a gm forecaster stream

66:28Speaker 0

no

66:28Speaker 1

that was not our new show i am yes i wanted to launch a clinker as part of a game and integrate it i was like i because by the way that was my purpose for doing anything anything i build is because i wanna learn something so i built the shout outs because i wanted to learn about x four zero two and agent payments i built word today because i had done some mini apps but i hadn't done a mini app that took advantage of anything financial or like related to the farcaster wallet

66:54Speaker 0

what would the token do what would this

66:57Speaker 1

yeah well it does

67:00Speaker 0

and she thought about that i was

67:02Speaker 1

like yeah i thought about it it's still a it's an appcoin it's not a security it's a but i but i wanted to launch on clank but i was like the only clank site ever done were kind of like on the feed so we had talked so we had done a live stream where i'm walking through the different clanker settings and the idea was also like it could be educational content but

67:23Speaker 0

right

67:23Speaker 1

because we did it on a stream it we attracted i don't some spec

67:29Speaker 0

it got crazy when you clank on stream this happened

67:35Speaker 0

yeah that was wild but that was another one where like i'm watching the numbers go up as we're on the stream and i'm going what is happening right now because we didn't even we did it very last minute it wasn't one that like we really promoted super hard it was just like we just jumped on and it just took off and it was crazy but the game you built is amazing and then you added it so you can play you you have like an email you have like a whole website

68:02Speaker 1

expanded it to twitter so i'm a little i'm yeah no one knows the future of farcaster at this point and it's also like many apps on farcaster it's built on nayanar as well so like i'm using nayanar apis because you could say oh farcaster protocol will live on maybe but it's it's also built with nayanar apis and sign in with farcaster and you don't know what will continue to be supported as far as i know it's still working today but it's like i keep waiting for some day like for it maybe not to work yeah yeah just we will see but it will live on so

68:38Speaker 0

i think this year i would say this year i feel like was your most prolific building year really maybe into a little bit into year two but really like this past year like you just have built a lot of things and a lot of this has been behind the scenes that you guys don't even see that i see that have been a huge help for me in getting like show notes out and things like that that have saved me a ton of time but just in even just the games and all the different experiments that you've done the shout outs all those things just experimenting has been really fun to watch you watch you cook it's been fun

69:12Speaker 1

thank you thank you claude

69:14Speaker 0

thank you claude okay this was another one of my favorite streams when we had tldr talking about the odyssey just loved it just random just some dude you met on farcaster who just so happens to have translated the odyssey from the original greek and did a dissertation on homer

69:35Speaker 0

great timing come on and talk about the odyssey the movie and that was a great chat so if you have not watched that yet and you are interested in the odyssey or you know whatever i would go watch it because it was really good it is a standalone so you don't it isn't it isn't the end of episode three seventy eight but it's also a standalone in the guests playlist and it's really good so i highly recommend

70:00Speaker 0

yeah that was one of my favorites we had a lot of guests we had a lot of guests i'm gonna run through them real quick dwr and rish were our most often guests first dwr obviously dan in the pre pre merkel sell days especially like again like our our biggest stream was was dwr and dish when they bought clanker and then rish has been on with us quite a few times since the acquisition rish was also one of our very early guests dan was our first guest like going way back we're going back to year one so they're you know they've been on probably two of the ones who've been on the most in just overall in general we've also had like i mentioned tldr and the odyssey oddjob and toxic wayfoo did a gave us a tour of decentraland with that big giant arch you could like jump off of that was really fun as i mentioned burtwurst and uncle horace horsebacks that was one of my favorites we had aaron and martin from wide r arslaugh from grandpa slash chef az flynn talking about dota seltorious with among traders that was a really fun game very different way to play a game that where your agents playing and you're just like being able to inject here and there we had jacek back on to talk about degen when he was doing the new sort of the new pivot with the sloths and now he's got pov grin on to talk about snaps when snaps launched a town on emerge we had him on i think a couple times we had k macb on the world cup we did a whole world cup episode ruminations and shira talking about quotient we also later on had before that we had ruminations and jeff talking about quotient and some other pieces to that poof came on to talk about dx terminal dx terminals they're starting up again so if you're been playing anything with dx terminal that's starting to roll again kojo came on and talked about tmro

74:06Speaker 1

i think demoing his multiple bond it was bond is that yeah like it was a client for for customer for kind of brands yep let you manage an account with multiple people

74:37Speaker 1

74:44Speaker 1

yeah they're not all active like i haven't heard from a lot of them in so long

74:48Speaker 0

sad we need to get them all back

74:50Speaker 1

74:56Speaker 0

i know it was kinda it's kinda crazy but what a what a that's a ton of guests

75:02Speaker 1

go go back one you just reminded me of another era remember during i guess it was like during the trader era was merkel doing like there was like a weekly like highlight of a certain token like was there like a yeah they were promoting like a weekly

75:21Speaker 0

and there was an they were doing airdrops for a while there like helping teams do airdrops too and they were also doing clanker spotlights right that's what it was yeah they were doing clanker spotlights like zapper doesn't exist anymore that was such a great client that was one of the best ones i've said that many times one of the best ones by far we did have a few guest hosts we had guest co hosts burr was a co host with me a couple of times while you were out

75:51Speaker 1

thank you burr

75:52Speaker 0

so was tony tony hawk was a guest co host and rachel wilkins was guest co host with me a couple of times as well and then lastly but certainly not least we've had a couple premier partners this year we've had also smaller supporters that we've done some spotlights with and things like that but our two big premier partners this past year have been clanker and the haberdashery and just want to give them a shout out as well and say thank you for supporting us over this past year that was a lot it's a lot of guests i was like going back and i'm like i had forgotten some of them that that we had i was like oh yeah forgot about that and they were a lot of fun

76:38Speaker 1

and the year wasn't all bad

76:40Speaker 0

it wasn't all bad that's what i mean

76:41Speaker 1

it was so much fun

76:42Speaker 0

it was a lot of fun there was a lot of fun so yeah there was a lot of fun going on throughout this year and a lot of builders building a lot of cool stuff like you know whether or not they you know moved on to other things like you know eight towns now at tempo seltorius is a is he a banker i think he's a banker is he a banker and so is igor so there's just been like you know a lot of movement a lot of people just yeah things have changed things have moved around

77:14Speaker 0

yeah dude i'm not i don't know i i thought about that i thought about that tagging all these people we'll see we'll see how we do

77:23Speaker 1

i did make it easier for you that is something else we did

77:27Speaker 0

she did she did oh also from the cast yeah from the much easier like that's the stuff she built in the background you guys don't see that she made much easier for me to tag the chatters and the cat the people we mentioned in cast it takes me a fraction of the time it used to it used to take me at least an hour to do even just that post and now it takes me you know a few minutes like maybe five to ten minutes depending on how how many we have but it's very easy now so we appreciate you for that i appreciate you for that they don't care but i do of course they care adrienne what did i miss

78:09Speaker 1

no one wants to see you lose sleep over things

78:12Speaker 0

i know like well i mean it really saved me a ton of time

78:15Speaker 1

yeah

78:15Speaker 0

a ton of time and a ton of stress like

78:20Speaker 1

wow no that was a great like thank you and thank you for putting that together because i did not

78:28Speaker 0

i thought about trying to have warpy like help me and then i went you know what i think it's gonna be quicker yeah i'm like it's gonna be quicker if i just go through our i went and i know i've missed people if you were a guest and i missed you i'm really sorry i it it would come from me like forgetting to put it in the playlist because i went through our guest playlist and that's where i like pulled everybody from so that i tried to get hopefully get everyone that was a guest on our show this past year

78:58Speaker 1

yeah

78:58Speaker 0

and then that's where i grabbed the highlights as well like the things that stood out to me that like the episodes that stood out to me that were like just a little special a little different so yeah

79:08Speaker 1

yeah remember on year one we made that little video of like i i guess maybe we have a little maybe if there's less going on in forecast i'll have a little more time i'll make another one of like do a year well that's

79:21Speaker 0

what i still use as our intro

79:23Speaker 1

yeah that's what

79:24Speaker 0

we still use as the as part of the intro i've never changed it except i just liked it because it was funny and it was like

79:29Speaker 1

i don't know it makes me so happy to stay yeah all this time

79:32Speaker 0

yeah so like i've never changed it besides adding i add like you know clanker at the end or whatever and i added some different like over like the the voice over but i've never changed the video itself because i like it

79:45Speaker 1

mara lucid asked if we have a third birthday nft so

79:50Speaker 0

not yet how would we

79:52Speaker 1

even do that these days

79:54Speaker 0

oh there's ways i can do it highlight

79:57Speaker 1

maybe i'll make a video shall i make a that would be a recipe

80:02Speaker 0

yeah if we did a little video and then we could we could mint it through highlights probably the easiest way

80:07Speaker 1

okay

80:08Speaker 0

and also i want i'm gonna go into emerge and do something and i want everybody to like just do their own version of it so i'm gonna do that soon ho app why are you making me sad why are you making me sad me goodbye

people saying we miss the old farcaster for these are names that i literally have never seen on farcaster

80:39Speaker 0

hopefully soon maybe soon yeah

84:02Speaker 1

i i probably let a little bit of my doomer self out to you know i'm such an optimist right like yeah in in life yeah and and a lot of what you see when i the things i cast about and things i talk about tend to be like the the positive side of things but the year on forecaster i kinda said like it hasn't been all good in the past year and there's been ups and downs but like when i just reflecting back on covering the space like for three years it's been so like it really has brought joy like it's been such a satisfying journey and to think from like three years ago when you were like hey let's just talk about what's happening on farcaster would never have believed one that we that it would turn into something that we were doing for so long and i built like i think the archive is really interesting that we kind of like have

84:58Speaker 0
