good good gm farcaster

1:25Speaker 0

gm farcaster i was gonna start with some other news but you know frankly i think we need to explain our backgrounds so i'm gonna start with that and in case you didn't know i'm i am team north and we we we're winning that's all i'm gonna say so if you're not enjoying farcastles yet you you really should and it's really fun game it's just this fun little social game and literally there's only one thing you need to do and that is exclamation point attack and you wanna say attack south just for the record you can pick either one but i think you really should attack south this has been a lot of fun it is very community driven and like they have the bot that's essentially telling you how much damage you made on the castle and things like that but then what i what's fun to me is that everyone's getting into it and they're creating things like these little castle images and knights and all this crazy stuff and it's so it's kind of getting its own little lore adrienne have you have you done any attacking yet have you jumped into fire i have

2:32Speaker 2

not attacked attack castles do you need is it can anyone join as permission list do you need to be in do you need to be in a group chat do you need to no get an nft token nope

2:42Speaker 0

you can just start

2:43Speaker 2

attacking i can just say it literally you

2:44Speaker 0

just go into far castles the channel and say exclamation point attack south just to be clear that's what you wanna do attack south

2:53Speaker 2

so we're attacking the south

2:55Speaker 0

we're attacking the south

2:56Speaker 2

eastern or west are there are there enemies

2:58Speaker 0

to east or west there's just north and south at the moment but you know that's interesting that could be an expansion pack and that's it and it's it's kinda just becoming this little fun little thing so you know there's there's tribes that are emerging i i gave away some dgen my dgen tips went to those attacking the south yesterday and i plan to do the same for the foreseeable future so do with that what you will not financial advice not legal advice probably not a cult my usual disclaimer but you know it's fun

3:29Speaker 2

it's fun wonderful well you know how i feel about tribes

3:32Speaker 0

we love the tribes

3:34Speaker 2

no and and my entire tribe

3:36Speaker 0

and then i have to explain your background because this is the fun we're having today on this on this happy friday so ace from pearl spun up this little the next pearl game here and it's round 16 happening today and it is will ace or dwr.eath get more likes tomorrow so challenge accepted by by dan okay fine i'll do the duel tomorrow ace bangers only up only for my team and then the meme started so here we go we had i'm

4:15Speaker 1

gonna crush

4:16Speaker 0

ace i'm bringing the pearl gang it's friday i'm dropping features so are we get off my app so it was really getting quite funny with the memes so you got you got the meme channel getting into it and then we had this from dan and this is adrian's background tomorrow team dwr team ace just being completely engulfed in a in a in a fog of of doige i guess i don't know what's going on there but it's really pretty funny so i'm i'm enjoying the fun of fun farcaster i am the meme that dan often shares like with you know spongebob out the window go like this while other people look odd so jump in and just have fun with it but i swear to god the first thing everybody says in the farcastles channel is i have no idea what's going on but i'm just gonna type this thing and that's exactly what i did i'm like i don't know what's happening but you know and then i just keep onboarding new people so it's really fun it's gonna be a fun day i think it's gonna be a fun day is that

5:15Speaker 2

is that unique to farcaster or is that just kind of internet now that like the people who are good at internet know you can kind of just jump in anywhere and you don't have to understand exactly how things work you can just kind of figure it out as you go

5:31Speaker 0

question i think it's a little bit of both right i think i think there's definitely a forecaster culture of of just jumping in

5:40Speaker 2

did you say cult

5:41Speaker 0

experiment culture i said culture

5:42Speaker 2

did you did you

5:43Speaker 0

say cult i said probably not a cult earlier come on i said culture i think there's a i think there's you know a culture of experimentation right so in early adopters and things like that where we just jump in we just jump in and try things so when builders are building things on farcaster and you see something fun you're like oh i want in i went in on that same thing with pearl like as long as it's easy to figure out we're probably gonna try it if you're just asking me to click a button or type one line of one sentence two words i'm gonna probably do it just to see what happens just for fun

6:21Speaker 2

there's someone on farfaster and maybe you know their name or matthew maybe you do and i it's they're famous for breaking things so every time every time warcast releases a new feature yes

6:32Speaker 0

his name

6:32Speaker 2

because his name display name is like a bunch of unicode characters or some i mean it's just such a like so he'll just immediately go and try to test all the boundary conditions yeah it's who is that someone in the chat will tell me but whoever they are

6:45Speaker 0

is the same i forget i know exactly who you're talking about he's the unicode dude who tries to break everything in somebody

6:51Speaker 1

it's it's schlom's schlom

6:53Speaker 2

yes yes

6:54Speaker 0

that's on his platform

6:55Speaker 1

yeah actually since we're on his platform he had a little he had a little argument with brian on the on the timeline

7:01Speaker 0

oh really

7:02Speaker 1

if anyone wants to if anyone wants to see our boy brian in a in a little bit of a debate

7:06Speaker 2

who among us has not had a debate with brian for no say

7:10Speaker 0

he's not this is nothing new

7:12Speaker 1

match with the sky i i don't know i think they talked it out but it's pretty funny to watch

7:16Speaker 0

funny that's funny yeah if you haven't had an argument with brian are you really on forecaster yet are you really even here so anyway a few other notes before we move on and chat with matthew i wanted to wrap up valentine's day it was really fun as well so this is what i'm here for i'm here for the fun i loved this meme from links where were you on valentine's eve it's like a dad with his kids i was posting memes on a sufficiently decentralized social network no wonder mom hates you that was pretty much what i did and then i

7:53Speaker 2

actually wait but actually my family is starting to hate me so if someone can mock that meme up with my face and then chair i'd appreciate it like they're actually starting to hate farcaster

8:06Speaker 1

like mom what are you doing all the time

8:08Speaker 2

yeah no act

8:09Speaker 0

i i understand completely i have a similar situation going on you know you're just gonna have to deal with it for a little while but i promise kids you know it may pay for college so you know just tilt it dj make me your college fun now it's okay it's okay it's okay kids and then

8:29Speaker 2

what but don't they know we're building a future to protect their freedom of speech

8:33Speaker 0

we are no they don't and they don't care children they just know that mom is attacking castles you know they she needs to join us they need to join us so gryn i loved what gryn did with this frame mirror mirror on the wall whom do you love the most and i of course played this game and dwr was my once you're left followed quickly by adrian and let's be honest it's really adrian and a few other folks it was it was quite a nice nounish slash farcaster mix and adrian's was was me and i and i love that and dwr was second so we flipped you flipped it but we know that's real i tag him in everything of course of course he came up as number 1 but i thought that was really cute and it was such a quick little fun little thing that frames was actually meant to do who knew that it was also going to you know incorporate ai create a whole ecommerce site and all that it was just really supposed to be about polls so we moved on so that was really fun adrienne were you surprised by any of the people on your list or was it like not at all that's what i

9:35Speaker 2

not at all

9:37Speaker 0

yeah exactly it was like oh yeah that's right that sounds that sounds right that sounds completely right and then from dan so in real news in real feature news before we since we've we start with we start with memes now minor war cast update show fewer like this i actually loved this idea new option in the kebab menu on cast that will help us provide better recommendations don't overthink it whether it's a cat whether it's the cast content itself or the account behind the cast selecting this option is private and will help us tune our algo so this is actually gonna help with the algorithm and by the way i love that zeneca in the comments said you know today i learned people call the 3 dots the kebab menu which i thought which also i have learned from dan so thank you for that dan and then this amazingness from zuora let's just talk about this for a second you can now configure custom webhooks to validate your frame mints so this means you can allow mints on just fridays or happy fridays during full moons when the current month ends in a y like you can create all these little parameters for your mints now on zora which how crazy awesome is that like that's pretty nuts i was like oh okay that's i don't know what to do with that yet but i'm thinking about it

10:53Speaker 2

but programmatic i mean just anytime you can add programmatic logic to something developers will figure out cool ways to use

10:59Speaker 0

it yeah

11:00Speaker 2

we adore zuora

11:01Speaker 0

we do we love zuora i'm actually alpha alpha i'm gonna be interviewing jacob with toady today on zero pod so that'll come up probably in a couple weeks so i'm really excited about that and okay this is really cool we have a new channel it's called fart but it's not what you think just to be clear it's it's farcaster art and david furlong df has posted a thread of some of his recent favorites and they're really amazing so i i love this new channel and along those same lines i wanted to mention that max is having a crypto art spaces number 2 in a on a burrow today talking about crypto art on war cast so love that the art is getting some focus so this is amazing couple more things before we start chatting with matthew over on x aka twitter aka the thing we never use anymore deese had a note here about 5 things he likes more about farcaster than x no ads especially no lazy scam mint ads 2 i get a daily tip allowance of speculative token to give to friends for good posts or just vibes 3 less than 200 k users on the entire platform yet i get similar engagement to x where i have 250 k followers that's impressive 4 channels allow me to find and post more relative content love that and frames games like pearl minting with warps feels comfy very comfy from the ux perspective can't wait to see what based chad devs cook up for us as frames evolve and in that same little post he had a little special reply from vitalik saying farcaster feels like it's gotten to the point where it's quite usable as a twitter alternative for lots of people the channel's thing actually makes it better in many ways in my in my opinion that said spam is increasing i think dealing with that well is the next challenge and dan replied working on it so that was really cool to see like you know deese is a pretty big well known person within the crypto twitter space the fact that he's making that move over and is seeing the value i think is really important a lot of people listen to him too so i think you'll see some people that will engage more because of that and i just thought it was really cool that vitalik is spending a lot more time over on farcaster as well so you've got you've now got you've got the culture coming in as where we already had the devs you know so it's it's it's happening it's happening it's really exciting

13:44Speaker 2

and obviously one one of the big selling points in over the past year is there's no spam

13:50Speaker 0

here right

13:52Speaker 2

but yeah as obviously as the platform grows and people come well it'll get bigger so

13:59Speaker 0

but i love and you know going back to you know see less like this i think that's helpful all these little things that they're pulling together are starting to be really helpful with the spam with kind of controlling that and making sure that our our timeline is is amazing okay needed some water i wanna shift gears to matthew we're so happy to have you here really excited really excited about what you're doing with frames and and events and things like that but let's start with who are you what are you building and tell us a little bit about that so that for those who may not be familiar with you and also i have one other very very important question why did you change your pfp from the lips from the little noun's lips i'm i'm i'm i'm i i almost unfollowed you for that you took away

14:47Speaker 1

the little notes for off i mean i didn't know you you you liked it so much

14:52Speaker 2

we all did

14:54Speaker 0

we did but of course i did it was it was a little nouns of course i did

14:58Speaker 2

i'm not even now and i'm so obsessed and i loved it

15:03Speaker 1

see you're so what you're saying is you don't like my baby photo

15:06Speaker 0

no i love your baby photo it's adorable but i was so used to you as the lips that it like it feels like it feels weird i was like i don't know who this is i really thought i'm like somebody act him what's going on

15:20Speaker 1

dan literally posted about this at one point like i i didn't know if matthew like like stopped using farfetch or something like that

15:27Speaker 0

we thought he laughed

15:29Speaker 1

well because i've said it as that like way back when like like almost 2 years ago and i actually didn't have that nft in my wallet

15:39Speaker 0

oh that's funny

15:40Speaker 1

so like i had it in a different wallet that was not with the connected address like and and then so i wanted to like separate the 2 walls and so okay at some point i'm gonna set this to either like a photo or something that's in that wallet and so

15:52Speaker 0

oh that's funny

15:53Speaker 1

i think i did it like in the fall and then people just like didn't notice it for a little while because i was not really on forecast for that much and so i don't know it was a change i was gonna make at some point and i just like had to pull the trigger and do it okay

16:05Speaker 0

if you're in the chat and you know matthew if you prefer the lips just just make a note we'd we'd like to we'd like to encourage it

16:13Speaker 1

hey i'll tell you this if i ever get a noun i will set it as my profile picture

16:17Speaker 0

it's a little noun i mean the little noun is just as valuable it's oh

16:20Speaker 1

a 100% i i love the little nouns and i actually i i haven't figured out how to get this live but i i have a little like purple little nouns thing that i wanna figure out how to do and i'm actually professor i'm curious to get

16:33Speaker 0

yeah let's talk let's talk up because we can do that we can do that with nouns builder there's a million ways we can do that so let's chat

16:39Speaker 1

yeah

16:39Speaker 0

because i i wanna see those little purple nouns cause they were adorable

16:43Speaker 1

i know they're so cute right

16:44Speaker 0

we can get you some funding for that for god's sakes they were so cute so let's let's do that for sure

16:48Speaker 1

figure it out but yeah i mean in terms of who i am like i i i mean i you know dan talks about like you know giving developers an audience like i was just a random little developer and and his bedroom coding stuff and i've been joined farcaster and started working on event like a year and a half ago maybe it was the very first version of it but i guess kind of something i i don't think crypto or farcaster people necessarily know is i built a coaching company before this so i was i was working at a crypto company before i joined farcaster and then before that i started and did a did a acquisition for a coaching startup okay so it was a it was a mental health like program for guys who wanted to be more vulnerable and emotionally intelligent and so and and i was i was not the coach i was the other side i was the person who wanted to be more vulnerable and so yeah so we worked on that for a year and then and and then kind of while that was happening saw all the stuff with nfts and all all and daos just starting and we were building a community more than a start up and that was one of the reasons we ended up you know calling it quits but but yeah i did that and then it was the excitement was just too strong i couldn't i couldn't avoid it and so i yeah i jumped into crypto after that this is like summer of 2021 i think is when i first got into crypto so

18:06Speaker 0

amazing yeah and so what drove you to start events like to to focus on that area what's the what's the driver there

18:17Speaker 1

you know it's funny i i don't know if i've told him this i think i have but but victor and actually victor and steph i think hosted a meetup way back at eth nft nyc 2021 i think it was

18:30Speaker 0

oh wow

18:30Speaker 1

no 2022 sorry they had a pizza dinner in new york and there were like 20 or 30 of us at that table and it was just so fun and it was all like really really early forecasters i don't actually even remember who was there i just remember going and thinking wow this is a really cool community like i wanna do more of that and so later in the in the fall i was experimenting around and me and was it alok alok hosted a meetup and so me and and and a bunch of friends like we drove down and and and i think there were a bunch of la people and so we did this like meetup in i think like august of 2022 so i just like wanted to do more of that and i had come up with this idea for posting an event in the feed and like how would you do facebook events on farcaster in the feed and so kind of just like started hacking on it and and built the first version of a bot with the app replies or the thumbs up replies to mark that you were going and so we had we were doing meetups through that people would post them and then reply thumbs up and it was very very early community and then kind of started to build on it and so here we are

19:42Speaker 0

here we are so now you launched a frame that makes it super easy to like rsvp and connect your forecast or account with that rsvp so can you talk a little bit about how that works you know what that development is and then if somebody has an event like how they can tap into that and and this is for us adrienne

20:05Speaker 2

yeah let let's just say someone has a podcast that they live stream and they want people to know when we're gonna i mean they would plan their podcast can they use

20:15Speaker 0

like they were doing a meetup in december for example and they and they wanted to you know send allow those who maybe minted their podcast to attend and something like that so yeah a little bit about that

20:26Speaker 1

yeah well i kinda mentioned it before but the original there were kind of 2 original ideas in my head which maybe we can talk about the second one a little bit later but i want i i was very excited about this idea of an ethereum calendar so that was like the original original thing and then the other kind of like thing that i was thinking about all the way back to the beginning is facebook events on a social network like farcaster and how would that work and you wouldn't know this unless you're like on farcaster at that time right but like the idea of thumbs upping in the feed to rsvp was actually pretty frictionless already like that was a pretty easy experience you know for for people who are in the community to to mark that they were gonna go to something and what would happen is the bot would then respond to you with a calendar invite so it'd say hey you're going here's the calendar invite you don't have to do anything else right we we know who you are because it's your fid and your connected address and so that was a really cool experience and what we noticed at the time was that 50% of all of the rsvps were coming through that method of the feed so it was so these

21:30Speaker 0

were events that weren't necessarily just farcaster it was more like that was a method that you were using and then you had like also a traditional website or something where they could rsvp

21:40Speaker 1

the original version of the app did not even have a website and so i built the i built a very rudimentary website like kind of after launching the original bot and then i relaunched the bot and then i relaunched the mess and i was like relaunched things like a bunch of times but it's mostly been forecast for meetups actually those are the things that have really done well on the platform for which reasons we could probably dissect but but yeah i mean that was such a cool thing to see like people doing stuff in the feed rsvp ing and then getting access to an event and like getting the info about it right in their feed and then something kind of subtle that i don't think necessarily would be obvious but when you respond right when you do the thumbs up you would get like that post then gets put into other people's feeds right because there are people that follow you right that see that you reply and so it's just like viral social mechanic and so i think the combination of that was really exactly a year ago at heath denver i mean people remember like the hype was just off the chain yeah no no pun intended

22:48Speaker 0

it was

22:48Speaker 1

it was nuts and and i think a lot of that was revolving around like the fact that everything was happening in the feed and like the rsvps are in the feed and so i i just knew that like that was a that was a really powerful thing and facebook events is basically the reason i used facebook beyond like 2013 2014 like that was really the thing about it in college was that people were rsvp ing to events and parties and stuff through facebook and just knew that okay if there's gonna be a killer events thing in web 3 it's gonna be done through this like this like facebook events kind of thing it's not just gonna be you know there's luma there's particle there are these event pages but i think to get beyond something like that you really do need to do this you you need the distribution right you need to you need to nail that that's the thing that everybody wants and so and and frames now right like you know evolving the the the the modality or whatever you wanna call it like the frames are the kind of next evolution of that and so so yeah so i built a frame and i actually built it pretty quickly like i there's gonna be a v 2 like so that was just kind of like the first

23:54Speaker 0

good that's a v one then that's pretty good yeah

23:57Speaker 1

but i but i just kinda i already knew that like this like this is what i had to do like as soon as i saw frames i dropped everything i was like oh my god like like this is it like i had been waiting for this for so long as a feature something like this i kind of expected it to come eventually but i didn't think it was gonna be this fast and so yeah so once that happened it's like okay this is this is what we need so i dove back in

24:23Speaker 0

amazing and and it's i love that you can also you can see who's going you can see you know their profile on forecast you know it's like you can connect back things like that so i think that's really cool so the eth denver event is coming up can you speak a little bit about that and what the plan is and purple's party and by the way i'm like builder i would like to sponsor yeah we're good we have enough money we're all set we don't need your money

24:52Speaker 2

and i'm like okay you

24:54Speaker 0

guys turning away sponsors fine that's fine oh it's what i mean i think that's amazing i think that's amazing that it's gotten to this point where you know people are wanting to be a part of it and and wanna support because farcaster is just you know taken off so much but talk a little bit about what's going on with the purple party how can people you know respond and things like that

25:17Speaker 1

yeah it's gonna be it's gonna be fun i have i don't know what to expect so we're like we this is a planned thing before the hubbub of frames in g gen so we'll see how like how many flags come we've been looking

25:36Speaker 0

for right now before frames in d gen there was an expectation like this was gonna be 3 times the size it was last year and now it's like now we've got a problem

25:46Speaker 1

yes exactly

25:49Speaker 1

so we we spent a bunch of time me and graham mcbain who's kinda me and him are are are co organizing it we spent a bunch of time like thinking about different venues we had one it was gonna really overcharge us and then we we had another that was gonna be cheaper but like fewer people and then we finally found one it's 550 people and it's a big enough venue and so and it's a really cool spot it's the wing cooper and company and so so it's gonna be fun it's on the saturday saturday night at the end of eatdenver i've been trying to figure out like how to work on my approvals rsvp list so i can tell like who's real and who's coming and because there's a ton of bots and farmers that have responded to it and so it's yeah it's hard to know what to expect but but it's gonna be fun if you're on farcaster and you're a real person you should definitely come

26:43Speaker 0

you're a real you're actually

26:44Speaker 1

doing anything please don't

26:46Speaker 0

please don't respond if you're not

26:47Speaker 2

matthew people would have to is it like an application too and then you have to approve

26:54Speaker 1

so or

26:54Speaker 2

is that only if you're is that only if you're not meeting or there are certain kind of the active badge purple holders

27:01Speaker 1

so it was the active badge so i so that's the original gating mechanism that i did and i think long term that's the right thing because i think work caps will figure out how to make sure that like the peep like as fast as you join like to get an active badge if you're a real person and contributing like actively to the network but there are so there are some people that just like haven't gotten to that point yet and so i think there are a couple of people that were like a little frustrated right there like i'm a real person why can't i apply for this and so so i actually like sprinted in like a day or 2 to build this other feature which is approvals and so now anyone can apply and of course now my list of rsvp approvals is flooded with airdrop farmers right but but i can just click deny right and so i can

27:46Speaker 0

like

27:46Speaker 1

i i'm trying to approve all the all the real people but so we currently have 2 of those like call them like gating mechanisms which is active badge and the idea is hey if anyone who's a real person at some point this needs that should reflect that and if it doesn't then maybe we can do something there to like help figure that out like proof of personhood but and then and then also like an approval process and then the third one which is actually pretty much built but i haven't shipped it in like bug tested and everything is actually nft gating so if you own the gm farcaster nft for example that's something that i'm gonna hopefully finish this weekend

28:23Speaker 0

how soon can you have that ready

28:25Speaker 1

this weekend

28:25Speaker 0

is it great okay so monday do it monday we'll be announcing our q or extra meetup

28:31Speaker 1

i'm just building it as as as friends want it basically

28:34Speaker 0

right now and i that's awesome

28:36Speaker 1

i had i'm sorry to anyone who who is bugging me about about a feature or getting an event on the site i i'm just trying to

28:44Speaker 0

28:47Speaker 0

29:18Speaker 0

cozy not elite we're not elite we're not far pastor aristocracy like matthew we're not we're not we're not included in that particular picture so i think it's just because you look like dan that's fine by the way if you've never seen a picture of dan and matthew together it's it's kinda funny

29:38Speaker 1

i think there's only one but it's there's

29:39Speaker 0

that one but it's pretty it was the proof right it was the proof that they are 2 different people because there was questions about whether or not you were the same so i love this very excited like that that you're doing this i am a big proponent of you know the the url to irl kind of flow i think even small tiny meetups i think are important and the other thing you've done with event cast or whatever we're calling it today is you've supported meetups so when people have wanted to do you know meetups in in different cities all around whether you know depending on what size they were being able to to offer a little bit of financial support to that and that's been really cool and encouraging to people to actually do them you know and we we had a little dinner we had a little dinner in boston one time with like there was just 6 of us and it was great just to have those conversations

30:31Speaker 2

new york city courtesy of of anne thank you matthew yeah

30:35Speaker 0

you're and i think that's important i think that's how you solidify some of these relationships and you create a a social network rather than social media and that's i think that's really important really important so even if you just have a couple people i highly would encourage you to to do a little meetup wherever you are if you're not going to east denver or far con or something like that you know find the people that are in your in your neighborhood so to speak and and get together have coffee whatever have drinks have coffee something like that adrienne what else did you want to to chat with matthew about you wanna hit him with your your lightning round are we ready

31:11Speaker 2

yeah the the questions we ask everyone but before i do matthew you talked about being on farcaster 2 years ago

31:19Speaker 1

almost not quite yeah

31:20Speaker 0

like what's your

31:21Speaker 1

the year like what's your fit 1.75 maybe

31:23Speaker 0

what's your fit

31:24Speaker 2

what's your fit

31:25Speaker 1

473

31:27Speaker 0

473 wow

31:29Speaker 2

yeah we're in the presence of a 3 digitor i didn't realize i didn't realize we

31:34Speaker 0

were in 3 digit royalty today who knew

31:36Speaker 2

no i'm so nervous actually would

31:38Speaker 1

be lower except i was working at like another web 3 social company before i like quit and then joined farcaster and for those who don't know brian and at ishika we work together at this one company that's how we all know each other

31:52Speaker 0

oh it's funny i didn't know that yeah so that's wild

31:55Speaker 1

from a low

31:56Speaker 2

do you wanna plug your do you wanna plug your podcast with ishika

32:00Speaker 1

yeah we haven't quite figured out what it is like we're just kinda doing it every once in a while and so we're trying to figure out how to do it more regularly like what we wanna talk about but we we came up with the name far side fm so we wanna do a podcast of some kind and we like product like we like thinking about products and ishka and i both like community and irl stuff so we're working on it we're gonna i think we're just gonna like start doing episodes and see how it goes and you both are inspirations for us because i love that you

32:27Speaker 0

put it on chain

32:28Speaker 1

with this and now you got the fancy podcaster press badge at eatdenver winning yes you made it

32:36Speaker 0

yeah it's official

32:37Speaker 1

yeah maybe we'll be there with you

32:38Speaker 0

next week yes yeah you know what i just start doing it and just do it consistently like whatever that means to you if it's once a month if it's you know once a week whatever that is that's the biggest suggestion i would say and put it on chain put it on zuora i make that part of your part of your flow make it part of your flow because you're not youtube's not gonna pay you spotify is not gonna pay you but if people like what you're doing they're going to mint it because they're gonna wanna keep it and put it in their wallet you can also airdrop it to to guests or things like that it's a nice little thing to have and there's some wallets that you can play it right in the wallet so highly recommend highly recommend that for sure

33:15Speaker 2

and you can do both it doesn't have to be 1 or the other

33:17Speaker 0

yeah yeah oh i love that exactly do both make sure you do both because we're

33:21Speaker 2

just oh yeah pro on i don't think we we can add this to our list of links for next week but yash yb posted the yes farcaster native text or like right or is it blogging text stack we gotta do the podcasting text stack

33:35Speaker 0

it's literally the yb i have the link we just didn't have time for it but it will be in our show notes it will be in our show notes because i did grab that as well i thought that was great hit them with your what else you got

33:47Speaker 2

what else do

33:47Speaker 0

you need adrienne you ready

33:48Speaker 2

yeah yeah let's go matthew what who is the first friend you made online who's your first you're gonna

33:56Speaker 1

ask this and i don't honestly i don't have an answer i don't remember like i can't remember back that far i grew up on the internet

34:02Speaker 0

yeah you know like i was like probably many

34:05Speaker 1

little kid when i when i first started using the internet but i will say i had a lot of friends in middle school we would we would go home from middle school every day and just play call of duty together on xbox like in the same game and map like playing together and so i don't know if that i made any friends on xbox live because i think it's just like a cesspool i certainly got bullied a little bit on xbox live but i think the friends that i play that with were probably my first like real like you know we're we're friends online so to speak so yeah i'm kind of a cop out but

34:36Speaker 0

no it's a good thing

34:37Speaker 2

but but i guess to you your point is the you don't really see a distinction between internet and irl anyway

34:43Speaker 1

well now all of my friends are internet friends and and like everyone from farcaster right like a lot of the people i like become real life friends which i think is what's so valuable about this whole thing is that we all know each other a lot of us do know each other through just

34:57Speaker 0

you

34:57Speaker 1

know nothing else to do

34:59Speaker 2

yeah it's like how do you know each other forecaster

35:01Speaker 0

forecaster

35:02Speaker 2

forecaster friends what are your favorite channels

35:06Speaker 1

good question i i love i love the electronic channel electronic music i can't remember if it's electronic music or electronic but i post sets there i think there's someone from boiler room that leads it i saw today like it it's it's pretty cool i'm a huge electronic music fan so whether it's djs or sometimes music or really electronic music yeah that's kind of that's what i check into when i wanna find something new to listen to

35:33Speaker 0

so djs in electronic music those are your those are your go to's interesting i don't think we have anybody mentioned those yet so that's cool

35:39Speaker 2

yeah and that's and there's it's hosted by v

35:43Speaker 1

there's one hosted by v but i for i don't know

35:46Speaker 2

if it's big one i think it's just slash electronic

35:50Speaker 1

yeah or maybe it's dj's that is hosted on

35:52Speaker 2

dj's has another the dj's

35:54Speaker 0

there's a dj's one too and there's a i think that's my favorite part

35:58Speaker 1

yeah she's a couple cohost with mikhail opium i don't know who the person actually is but he's he says yes you know me from boiler room so i don't know what that means but i saw boiler room i was like fred again so i love that channel i also love like founders and product and like you know those kinds of channels and so i have to say

36:20Speaker 0

i has so much brilliance like

36:22Speaker 1

i know right

36:23Speaker 0

it's so good it's so good i love that too

36:26Speaker 2

yeah is there gonna be a dj at the purple party mhmm no that's what i wanted to know

36:32Speaker 1

i i mean people are calling it a party but like i honestly i i what i wanted to do and like what i'd love the vibe i'd love everyone to help like curate is what we had last year where it wasn't a dj like party it was more so like 200 people hanging out yeah meeting up

36:49Speaker 0

meeting up

36:50Speaker 1

so i'm not cheating it like it starts at 5 pm right i'm not like i don't know how many raves anyone's gone to at 5 pm but like i like i

36:57Speaker 0

i don't know that sounds like a perfect time for me i

37:01Speaker 2

but i'm wait i've been i've been talking about wanting to hold jack knows this because i've been trying to tell jack i wanna host like create this adult rave that happens in the afternoon or like just whatever that's a separate conversation okay just curious i forgot someone asked me about a dj and i wanted to ask okay

37:18Speaker 1

might be a small

37:19Speaker 2

what is your playlist that works

37:21Speaker 1

yeah

37:22Speaker 2

what's your favorite farcaster native meme

37:28Speaker 1

oh favorite farcaster native meme

37:30Speaker 0

i haven't heard her ask this one before i don't even know how i would answer this oh stuff

37:33Speaker 1

i think it has to be the what is the wow wow thing not wow wow and like like i don't really

37:40Speaker 0

low effort reply

37:41Speaker 1

yeah that whole thing not not where it went after that like the token and all that i kinda not really a fan of that part but i i love the the dan responding and then the guy responding to him i thought that was fucking hilarious sorry for not supposed to swear i thought that was so funny and so and i dan's just trying to you know he's trying to just just like make his network as spammy right

38:03Speaker 0

i mean that was one of our favorites too it's like wow wow this is a low effort reply and then farcaster gets involved yeah and takes a hold and and it becomes a thing it's really that

38:14Speaker 1

was really cool that was not i think that was my favorite but there's been a lot and mister nonlinear i mean this guy i don't know i can't i he hasn't shown me his meme folder but like everything everyone he posts

38:26Speaker 0

just hanging out

38:26Speaker 1

his meme game

38:26Speaker 0

his meme game is strong his meme game is strong yeah i don't know what to do nervous he got a little nervous when the when the crypto twitter reply guys made their way over but it's it's yeah he's still holding he's still holding strong it's okay what else you gotta do

38:41Speaker 2

it's just so good to see people when they're kind of like at peak performance top of their game

38:46Speaker 1

yeah

38:47Speaker 2

i'm just in awe he has memes with memes

38:50Speaker 0

with memes yeah

38:53Speaker 1

it's been hyper sub and that i mean the yeah he's on fire

38:56Speaker 0

so amazing amazing

38:57Speaker 2

do you have do you have d gen

39:00Speaker 1

i do have d gen i so funny story and i'll tell the story in more detail at some point but i actually i regrettably sold 14 out of 15,000,000 of my d gen airdrop and i used the money i it was like 3 or 4 grand i used the money to buy the events dotxyz domain so i'm very unhappy that i sold kicking myself of course but i have taken solace in the fact that it went to a good cause because i really needed the money to buy it so i love that hopefully it's worth it in the end

39:33Speaker 2

i actually love all the stories of people selling kind of forecaster

39:38Speaker 0

for especially forethings like that that's

39:40Speaker 2

yeah and then reinvesting back into the whole ecosystem do you have your og nft

39:46Speaker 1

i do still have that i'm i'm not sure how i feel about that i'm not sure why people are buying it but like i think can't tell if they're buying it because they think that gets them to be an og or gets an airdrop or what but like let's be clear like we all like you can't buy your way into the club right like i mean you know we were all here like when no one else wanted to be on this network and wanted to be in the community like there were there were people that believed in it early and i think you won't you can't buy your way into that so i i love the idea of the nft i i i love that people are making money off of it but yeah i don't i don't know how i feel

40:24Speaker 2

for it i love the design okay

40:25Speaker 0

so that would never i would never sell mine my original one but i really wish i had bought more like early on like when they were just going for like nothing i because i i just didn't envision that it would do it you know that that would this would ever happen but i'm like oof that's the regret but i will never sell yes i look at the i think the other day i got up to like 4.9 and i'm like this is probably the dumbest thing i've ever done was to hold this but i'm but i i can't sell it i'm attached it's not happening keeping it for us

40:51Speaker 1

that's where i that's where i was like okay you know what if someone's buying it for that much money i okay i kinda can't ignore that but

40:59Speaker 0

but it's hard but it's hard it's hard but honestly it's like i i feel like in the long run it's the right i won't i just can't i can't part with it can't do it

41:07Speaker 2

yeah alright last question kiwi skin on or off

41:14Speaker 1

i think you gotta go with it on

41:17Speaker 0

really

41:18Speaker 2

for the meme or well

41:20Speaker 0

i'm just lazy

41:21Speaker 1

i don't wanna have to like

41:22Speaker 0

he's lazy

41:23Speaker 1

feeling about you know like deal with all of the like you know the prep work i i hate i hate prep work like i don't know do people

41:31Speaker 2

but do people know there's different types of kiwis and there's like you know there's a golden kiwi that has like very smooth skin not very hairy so like so when no i think super easy to eat and then there's like some that are kind of like much much hairier outside and are

41:44Speaker 0

part of the show been about the hairy kiwi

41:48Speaker 2

i it just yeah

41:49Speaker 0

i think when you're asking the question it's

41:51Speaker 2

it's got

41:51Speaker 0

to be that one with the skin on

41:55Speaker 1

i don't know about you guys but i'd be honest i don't eat a lot of kiwis so like when that meme happened i was like what the hell is going on but when so i think it was tim said like it's vitalik banned this man from ethereum like that would easily that's my second favorite meme like that was so funny so that's what flew me into it but i had no idea otherwise

42:14Speaker 0

i mean we're really we're really all about the memes here anyway

42:17Speaker 2

i just got a text i got a text from one of my normie friends that just said kiwis are the new avocados so i'm just wondering

42:25Speaker 0

is your normie friend watching the show

42:29Speaker 2

no it's someone we're we're sharing a ski house next week and we're we're planning our grocery order and he last year i had buy like 30 avocados because that's all he ate so i was like do you still need 30 avocados and he said no kiwis are the new avocados so i'm just wondering if all of our kiwi culture has you know dripped out into the mainstream

42:49Speaker 0

that's really that's really ironic that i mean that's quite the coincidence happening at this moment okay we need to we need to wrap this up we've been we went a little long which we tend to do with our with our with our guests matthew what else should people know where can they find you where can they learn more about what you're doing with events

43:09Speaker 1

yeah well the easiest way is to follow at event try to work out like how exactly i wanna use the bot going forward because it hasn't had a lot of iterations but the feed on that event is all the events that are posted to the to the app so if you check that feed you can see it and if it's starting to get spammy i'll split it up and so the bot's responding in another account but for now that's where they're all posted so and then of course i'm at matthew so i try not to post too much but but yeah if you wanna connect

43:45Speaker 0

post more you like it when you post what do you mean

43:47Speaker 2

what do you what is that why hold back that's why

43:49Speaker 0

you hold back just just go ahead just

43:51Speaker 1

i don't know casting

43:52Speaker 0

cast in fully

43:54Speaker 1

i need to get outside you know like i i i don't like truly no

43:57Speaker 0

you're one of those oh you wanna like the touch grass okay bye

44:01Speaker 1

but but i will say if you if you are thinking of doing a meetup the frames stuff like kind of like i i kind of dove into that but before that like the kind of 2 months before that i was really thinking about like this meetup funding thing and and guess the final thing is i'll say is like i just think it's so cool and fascinating that like people like dozens of people could crowdfund like people crowd that money that i'm giving out is not my money like it's crowdfunded last year that we could raise money and sponsors of people like put in money and then we can redistribute that to people around the world who wanna help their community become stronger by hanging out with making friends i think that's so awesome and so if anyone has ideas or wants to do something like that within the farcaster community let me know and i would love to help make it happen because that's the thing i really love so

44:50Speaker 0

amazing and we'll be hitting you up for that that frame and we're doing a little meetup so we hope that maybe you'll join us if you're awake at on a saturday morning and i'm really excited for the purple meetup and the forecast for me up at east denver it's gonna be amazing i i am just super excited just to be in a room with all those incredible people and that's gonna be the way you know we end our east denver experience so i'm really really looking forward to it thanks for hanging out with us on this happy friday we appreciate you popping in and adrienne anything else before we wrap that i forgot
