Well, GM, everyone, GM, GM. Again, it's not with Farokh and RSF, it's just with cows. Actually today, just just me and cows. I'm trying to get hold of me. I couldn't make it seemingly so kind of just base takes again from Cali for the whole week. I mean, this kind of feels like we've been doing this for 10 years. Like if people might not know this. Me and Cali have known each other well. Cows has known each other for. 15 years me. Yeah, 14 years, 14 years, 14 years.
Oh no, 15 years. I pick out the very first meeting at the at the interview itself. Wow. Yeah, yeah. That was that was how were we then like 1817? 19 I think so yeah. No, that's that's that's 14 years. Anyway, yeah, back back. We've been doing this ever since, really. We lived together after that. So this kind of just feels like late night chats at the at our dingy flats throughout the years, which is, yeah, maybe that's what the people want to hear. Who knows, you did seem.
To think I was good content. I think people content you gave you good compliments last week. I think you you definitely speak your mind. I actually I actually geared some of the topics today, so you could really like go at it with your. Views of the world. Baking me, basically beating me. Farok is unfortunately in Korea. Lighten up the timeline. Ovi is on a flight back to the Caribbean or Life. We are sponsored by Kraken NFT.
Again, for the rest of the month, you're gonna be seeing a lot of content with us. And then coming up, kraken.com/rut radio, they're obviously making moves into the NFT marketplace territory. We've seen a lot of failures in that in that world. And it's really good to see a proper exchange come in and put some real boots on the ground with a bunch of different collections. And I'm positive about that. I think they're doing it in a
new strategy. They're doing it a new way and I think it's going to be a success. We had them on the show last week. You can listen in. I think it was on Wednesday. It was a good show. We all get straight into stuff because it's been, I don't know, is it, is it over? It feels like it could be over. It's so over. It's so over. It's so fucking over, man. We were, we had that exact chat, I think probably about three or
four times already this morning. And then we had an hour long conversation about whether it was over or not. I think we came to the conclusion it wasn't over, but it was. It's definitely not feeling that good, is it? We can get into what the main thing was really this weekend, but Ethan's now dipped down to 15, maybe a little bit of about 1575. Wow, great. And Bitcoin is just hovering above 25 K, so it's it's definitely been down about, what's that 5% since Friday's show.
It's feeling a little bit soggy. It really kind of fell out of bed on Saturday, right? There was a lot of lot of bad sentiment about what's going on FTX at the moment it looks as though and we mentioned this last week, but FTX is going to have to start selling some of their assets. I think they have the final approval to start selling them by this bankruptcy plan on the 13th which is on Wednesday. And as we've mentioned they have hundreds of millions of dollars
of soul. They have 10s of millions dollars of of number of other alts as well as high Bitcoin holdings. But it looks like they're going to have to sell something like 100 to 200,000,000 per week. I think that total assets is something close to 3 billion, of which Solana is the vast majority, and the market suddenly woke up to it it seemingly on Saturday. And altcoins in particular got absolutely smashed. They hadn't been on a good run I think for the last 2-3 weeks.
I think the average altcoin was probably down about 15 to 20%, but they were probably down another 10 to 15% over the last three sessions and it hasn't been feeling that good. A lot of doom staying on the timeline, just yeah, just just not feeling that that friendly to be in. I don't have a look at this Cali, but I felt like it wasn't actually. That. Bad. It just feels as though it just feels as though everyone is just, I don't know, scared of
their own shadow at the moment. And this is a reason for us to just hammer the market for whatever reason we kind of want to. It was really this account defy investor that got a lot of the, got a lot of the stuff over the weekend they put out the first thing. Big selling pressure is essentially coming next week. FTX will likely approval to liquidate its assets on September 13th. FTX at three 3.4 billion in crypto. And then it goes to details of
what that has. It has a bunch of different altcoins. Some of these are the Sam coins, which there is no bid for like their value to that level. But there's no, you know, they're not getting out of them. Salon is the big one. FTT, obviously. Who the hell owns FTT these days? And it's underneath. I mean these aren't big. These aren't. These are. I mean, not saying $90 million worth of these is not big, but
it's not, it's not that big. And $268 million worth of Bitcoin, again, it's big, but it's not, it's not that big. And then they have a few others toss Doge Matic which are maybe. 42,000,000 of those, 42,000,000 of those, that's not insignificant. I quite that's just a random thing on the balance sheet to have those has got a mark cap of of 9 billion. I mean it's not that big.
I would say the bigger ones here versus multi cap are things like Aptos and and maybe like Matic but yeah it doesn't feel that bad to me But and it also looks like the vast majority he then kind of backtracked or whatever this D5 and his backtracked on this post which blew up the way and basically said oh actually they don't have that much to sell because that's most majority of the Solano is is still to be vested. It's going to be vested up until 2028.
I think it's something only like 100 to $150 million worth of Sol out of that 700 million which they could even sell and they're talking about selling it over the course of weeks. So I don't really, I don't really know. This feels like it's not if you actually did the work and look through this stuff, it's not that big a deal, but that is what we are going to beat the market with today. What do you think? Yeah, exactly.
I think, I think the market's just in this frame of mind where it's like any negative sentiment has just jumped on and reason to go lower. And it's been like that for
weeks now. And then you're the headline of FDX dumped on market is much more interesting and easy to action than like digging in, looking at the lock up schedule, looking at the resting schedule, looking at a different spread across different assets, looking at what, how that compares to the kind of daily trading volume et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. These guys have an incentive to maximize the value of the stuff they sell. So I don't.
They don't just click market sell on the whole thing and watch it. By 50%. But the market's kind of trading like that is the case. I think it's just another, yeah, cryptos in this in this funk especially versus like every time cryptos down like this must mean like NASDAQ has sold off a lot but. It's not been the case for weeks now.
Which I've that's why I'm led to believe that it is this sentiment driven kind of like it's so over mentality where people are just getting caught in the spiral of negativity and negative news and even looking through some of the positive stuff like the ETF. So yeah, I don't know what snaps a market out of that or is it, is it snap or if it's a gradual
kind of move? But that's just the way people are behaving right now, which, yeah, if it doesn't change, then, you know, all of a sudden you're 1850, then you're at 1650, then you're at 1550, and then if it doesn't change, then you're at 12:50. And then everyone's like it really is over. So these things can actually accelerate. I think in some ways it does feel like that encrypt though things to accelerate.
It's been I was having a look the other it's kind of only for about 12 weeks like we had a we had a brief like one week rises or couple week bounces but then it just like slowly dips down. So it's been a long, long draining period but that was that period where it was 11 straight weeks in 2022, which is
tough. I would say this period is easily coming as my #2 for for tough period because it just feels it's just been like a gradual chipping away at confidence, which has not felt like good. That being said, I look at this and just go like. I don't know. I see massive value in. I see massive value in Eve and a few select things. I can understand why alt coins get smashed in periods like this because most alts are PDP. You just need them to go.
High, but there are sums with actual burn or reward processes which I think can do well. And ETH is even one of them. You know, ETH is burning itself from Memphis and in a time where most other currencies are massively inflating. So I think also that concept of the decentralized currency which is deflationary is like different levels of interesting in this space. You mentioned that the NASDAQ is higher. It is higher again today. One of the main things that was higher today was Tesla.
I know you're a bit of a Tesla bull. Did you not see my tweet this morning? No, I don't think anyone did. But yeah, the IT got. Two lights, so somebody must have seen it. Or two people, And then three, because I looked at it myself. You like your entities. A couple of boxing yourself like this. If you don't, if you don't like yourself, then why would other people like it? Yeah, Tesla's on the up maybe. So what's going on? What is this? Because I, I, I know they're big
in, they're not. They're big in AI, but they're more big in robots, right. It feels like robotics is then is there like main thing and then this this thing called the Dojo. Has come out today, which looks like it's going to be very, very big in that field. So what's what is it? Unrelated to the Chimpers Dojo, I believe, but maybe there's a maybe there's a collab that we had there. Yeah. So for context and as a precursor, I have 94% of my
pension in Tesla stock. Which a pension is like the equivalent of 401K for exactly this reason. You're doing it for like disclosure reasons or because you want to say that you're a big. Big, big swing. Both, both, both, yeah. And basically the premise is that you know self driving car and the kind of the AI and computer vision which will
enable self driving is actually. The biggest use of that is in is in kind of autonomous robotics, which you don't gave a few interviews last year, which he thinks and which he stated he thought that this would be the actual bigger product than the cars themselves. And so this Dojo supercomputer is kind of the first step on that route, I think.
And it's the first kind of announcement that has broadly woken up. The kind of mainstream media and a lot of the market about maybe there's something more going on
than cars here. Essentially the self driving is just a training mechanism for AI so that they can use it in robots, because robots need to be able to see what they're going, see what they're doing, learn to like pick up this box, not that box, etc etc. And I think that's this is the I think you may have just dropped off the Twitter but yeah this is what I'm reading out I'll just share my screen again since but it says they think it could unlock 500 billion of value to
10 trillion market just for robo taxis or no I think you're okay now. Yeah. No there is an echo. I think it's good. Yeah, it does look like Robo Taxis. Does anyone use Robotactics? Maybe in San Francisco? I'm not. I'm not familiar. I think there's one. There's one company which I can't remember the name of the company. There's one I think. I personally, I think self driving is a bit of a con, like they're never gonna.
Well currently even if you have self driving on mode on, you still have to like have a hand on the wheel so that if it fails or if something if the computer doesn't pick up something then you can. Activate it and steer away from like a hazard or something. And in taxis, I mean, I don't know, just feels like a lot, a lot, a lot of tech spend getting spent to solve not that big of a problem. But haters are gonna come at me for that. But let them come. You have 90% of your net worth
in this stock, to be clear. 9494% of my pension. But you don't really believe the story. Because it's long term play, no? Well, I believe the story that the self driving is just to teach the AI for the robots. Okay, okay, yeah. Humanoid robots, Like from I, Robot. I don't know if I'm trusting my daughter in a robo taxi, I just don't know if I'd do that. It's something that I just don't quite trust yet. I feel like we're probably a decade away from that actually
happening at least, right? Or am I wrong? I can't even access, I can't even access this these stocks for 20 years, 25 years, right? So that's kind of perfect. Perfect. Yeah, it does. Oh my God, it feels like despite macro doing well, it is on its way to 0. It's at 1560 right now and Bitcoin is paying onto 25K by thread. It does feel like looking around for what else is causing this weakness is not going to happen. It does feel like stocks. Everything's doing a bit of OK today.
Nastec's up half a percent. Rest stocks are up higher, Bonds are, bonds are slightly wider, higher. But yeah, who knows? Away from that NF T's, what's going on in crypto that actually does seem to be active? Again, friend tech seems to have overtaken NFT volumes, NFT volumes, I think you know, successive blows. Again, at the moment it is a little bit tough I think to be in the NFT space, but Tyler, who is a great follower in the space, runs Lucky Trader Friend. Tech Trading volume was 12.3
million yesterday. Total NFT trading volume on Eve was just 9.15 million. I think I saw another tweet by Punk 959. They seem to go back and forth a lot on data, but saying that this is the third time that's actually happened. Look. Yeah, that's it. Yeah. Yeah, there we go. This one. Hi. In the friend tech. This is actually the third time it's happened. And I don't know, feels like the stuff going on there. It does. I'm not saying it's not a Ponzi
one of these are Ponzi that. Not saying that this, this. This is a way to financial freedom. I'm just saying that people are on that app. I can see it. I'm in a few chat, chat rooms, you can, you can just see the conversation happening. I thought that was kind of a bright spot even for crypto like that is a big target addressable market if they get something like this right? But at the moment, it feels like there's still a lot of questions about it, but it's dominating
volumes. What's your view on? Is it sustainable? That's the key with all this stuff like. You know, it did more fees than like the theory of network in a certain 24 hour period or whatever. But the theory of network, the the great thing about the theory of network versus everything else that's come and gone is that it's still here.
And I think that is like so important in this space when in this space or in any other text space where there's new things coming out all the time and everything is new and exciting for the first few weeks. But it's about that like month, six months, year, two years, three years, five years and do you think this can sustain? To that kind of level or not, I think the fees will have to come down substantially for it to do that. It's like a 10% entry and exit
fee for this app. And I think that only makes sense when there's an air drop and an air drop that people will think will be valuable, which I think this could be like a hundreds of $1,000,000 air drop. Like if Blur came in as hard as it did, I think something like this could come in 10s of 1,000,000, maybe like 100,000,000, something like that. I do think that that's a fully market value, something like this.
So I do think that's people will play the game and be happy to lose some money if they think they're going to make net that amount. We've seen that with Blur Farmers, right. But but I do think for this to be a long term sustainable platform, that's too high, that's just way too high. So I think it's going to have to come down that bonding curve is going to be far less aggressive
and I actually think. In some ways there was some, there was some criticism actually, because there was a, there was an only fans creator who left the platform. I don't know if you saw that. I saw that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. On I did not own keys or subscribe, yeah. I think Cyrus maybe posted about that over the weekend but basically said pretty damning if
I'm honest. Only fans, girls who whose keys are down $0.90 for the high and now she's leaving friend debt because it's a crypto circle jerk. More on why I'm leaving. I don't believe in this app because it will just it's just a crypto circle jerk and will die there. There is no longevity or creators unless the crypto cronies. I really try to understand the space etcetera, but I just don't see the future. Influencers can grow.
I've yet seen any influencer who wants to say the name for a few trading fees when crypto is considered to be space and posting different hot picks here isn't going to do it. People are broke on only fans. Even sponsors are broke. Everyone's broke. This economy sucks and they normally are going to say that. Wow, so enjoy it. It was deaf fun, but I see it from the outside. It's so over. No, it's so. It does feel like that is legitimate. I actually read that and I was like I get it.
And I don't understand what. She's saying, she's basically saying that no one's going to come here because number one, there is, I mean it's still a little bit difficult. Like my wife over the weekend was like can I go on to friend tech And she was like you have to set up my account. I was like that is just, you know, you don't want to have that. You want to have somebody who just feels comfortable and doing something like that.
So I still think there's there's barriers to entry in people doing that sort of stuff, which is what she's also saying. But I also think that it's a it's it's an expensive platform for what it is. It's an expensive platform which is a crypto circle jerk right now about an AirDrop. And you can. Feel it from the chat rooms because everyone's talking about how to maximize their AirDrop value. What it has to turn into to be like actually work long term is not just be about that.
And I there are there are rooms which aren't aren't about that and I think. Do you think, do you think it can go like, survive past the AirDrop? My gut says no. I think it can. Remember, remember, Paradigm are not idiots, right? There's AirDrop one, There's AirDrop 2, there's AirDrop 2. Season three, season three, season three, like they know what they did. Anyway there were the other big thing for macro this week and we didn't quite talk about it before is what's going on in inflation.
There are two big well there's there's a few different data points this week. Wednesday and Thursday are the days to look out for. They are around CPI, PPI and retail sales all happening in the US that is that is consumer inflation, produce inflation and and then retail sales which is quite big for in the US Oil at the moment is looks like it's heading above 100 again, which is a real big risk for what's going on in the inflation narrative around the world.
Everyone was hoping the Feb be out to reduce rates. There is an expectation that inflation will go up to 3.6%. Part of that is driven by a rise in commodities. Again, what do you think about the global oil market? Tight, tight. It's, yeah, the Goldilocks scenario of, you know, everything going right. The oil market is basically lots of people who don't usually get along, shall we say, trying to get along for Economic Cooperation like, you know, US and Russia, like Saudi and Iran.
Lots of smaller producers as well who have either regional differences or something like that. And you know sometimes it works really well and it kind of all moves together. So but surely at the moment I just feel like the whole thing is so fragmented and so moving in opposite directions. And when you couple that together with the US draining the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to like levels I think never seen before, like very, very low anyway and Biden not give it not.
Drilling as much and not giving new leases and all this kind of stuff just feels like a recipe for disaster. I don't know in terms of it going up much, much higher. So I think I. Put this out maybe yesterday. the US Strategic Oil Reserve, which is, which is basically what the US Keepton Reserve in case shit gets really bad. It's now at the lowest level since 1983. It's 40 years and is that when they were stocking it to begin with as well? So that's like on the way out.
God it does. This is only. Part of the strategic reserve so that the much bigger one is the commercial one that you hear reported about tweak and people trade off the back of that. But yeah, this basically what happened is when everyone decided they were gonna hike oil prices, the US started dipping into this. They don't have that much. Left, so it's not looking great. I think oil could easily head above 100 here.
I think Saudi Arabia is incredibly keen on that happening because they are going to do a big sale of that big oil company. The. Big equity sale of that RAMCO, yeah, in the in the in the coming months. So the price of oil being high, it's very important for that. I think they're trying to do another 50 billion or something of that. So it also helps kind of, you know, it helps Russia because they're selling oil across the world where they're meant to be
or not. It's bad for the Biden administration because one way to not get reelected is to put the price of oil up or put the price of gasoline at the pump up. And all these guys know that, right? Like the Saudis know that, the Russians know that. And the US foreign policy under Biden has not been particularly. Respectful. Maybe it's the right word to people like Saudi. So they're turning up the pressure a little bit, yeah.
I think you're right in that it's a bunch of people not being friends with each other, and over the last two years they've become even worse friends with each other. So the chance of data coming together and somehow solving this seems low I think. Biden will probably continue to dip into that reserve, given it's heading into an action
cycle. But of course, of course that goes without saying for me. I don't know at what level you you can't like I I vaguely remember that there being kind of a strategic point where you you have to have whatever it is 150,000 barrels in there in case like the world economy shuts down or something like that the higher. Oil goes, remember, the more naturally shale is coming back onto the market it feels like, so it does feel like there is
some structural changes here. Remember, as all goes higher, more people are well, we'll want to bring it out of the ground and. That normally has a self correcting policy, but yeah there's a lot of oil in the US, there is, there is unbelievable amounts. So it is still surprising to me that they they would be so worried about something with this. Anyway, that was a. That was just a point to watch
out for this week. It could mean surprise inflation, which again could mean macro goes lower and crypto is going to zero and then. I saw that I saw today. Was was gaming? I don't know if you saw, but Anna Mocha, Anna, Mocha seemingly got some investment from Saudi Arabia. Recently. There was another headline that Saudi Arabia was looking to strategically move into blockchain and gaming. And then I saw today that Mochaverse, which is their
metaverseile project raised. Oh no, that was yesterday. That was Swoosh joining. That was linked to this raise, but they. They raised $20 million, which was high. Like I haven't. Seen a raise like that from an NFT? Maybe it got the wrong thing, yeah? High. It looks like it's, you know, they haven't really said who? CCM Global. Scott Mavis obviously by an AXI Infinity who's very, very close yet to these people. CCNCC global oh God, this is like a it's. Like a?
Classic VC website, doesn't it? Anyway, that's why it does feel as though. Also, the other big token that's been up recently is this prime token which is linked to parallel. What do you think? About crypto gaming, do you think we're going to have that's going to be the the bright spot of 2020? 3/24 it's it feels very intuitive to me that you know, you can't have in game, you can't have virtual worlds without virtual economies, I think.
But the design of those and avoiding the temptation for them to have Ponzi Normics is very difficult for people who for game developers, for game owners, for IP owners, everybody's out to maximize their own kind of cut the pie and gamers often lose out because of that. I think like when I was when I was a kid that you could level up swords on like Runescape for example and then sell them on eBay and you know you could buy FIFA Ultimate Points on eBay.
And so when I thought of NF these as gaming items this it immediately took me back there and and made a lot of sense. But it just the people involved need to design economies and mechanisms for earning that aren't just or play to win like sorry a pay to win. Where you know, you know I'm a asset rich, I'm poor, 50 year old. I think some of them are, but a lot are not. It's a little bit. Dated now, because Anna Mocha got a lot of crap for that, right?
And as did Yeah, yeah, for for just pushing the play to earn. I think they're now they're thinking stuff in a different way. I mean I hope. I think Gap who came on the show a bunch of times, well just once I see. But he was unbelievably smart when he came on. I think he gets that that's not what the market wants. So I totally this is a 20 million raise now play to earn model. I think play to win. Sorry, I meant in terms of like
if I'm as a risk yeah time poor. I can just buy the best gun and kill everyone in the game. And yeah, I don't know, it's interesting and you have to design the economy to support it properly, but I think it can be a right spot.
I'll be interested to know what they're going to spend this on, because there was another great post about all of the previous kind of crypto gaming firms that had raised capital and none of them or very few of them of the big raises have really followed through with kind of. Really meaningful product launches. So yeah, I'm on the lookout for actually meaningful product launches rather than meaningful
raises at this point. Yeah. Well, Mochaverse Nst's are up about 80% on the week, so people do this as valuable. Anna Mocha's a huge company, obviously. They're clearly gonna be around in the couple of years to come. So yeah, maybe it's an interesting play. That's why I was a little bit surprised about the raise itself, though, because Anna Mocha is so big, right? Like, why don't they just fund it themselves? Good question. Maybe things aren't at Amoca that we thought.
Yeah, exactly. Well, they haven't got 20 million shit. Yeah, maybe it's. Just like Cross, I don't know, it's a good point. I mean Alamoca definitely have 20 million. I think they just invested sort of that amount in like tiny tap or something like that, didn't they? Yeah, about that a few months ago, so. Surprising. Maybe that's great little one. Anyway, yeah, that's. To Alien Queen who is gonna be our stubs artists for the week. Obviously a massive friend of
the show. Hey, how are you and Queen? I'm good. How? Are you guys doing? We are doing awesome. Unfortunately, OSF is flying. I don't think he even realized you were coming on this week, as I'm sure you didn't really. Realize. You were coming. I didn't. Really realize you. You don't. Tell me. Yeah, you. Texted me about 15 minutes before the show being like, oh crap. But it. Is awesome to have you on obviously me and you and OSF and Cal.
So to a certain extent go way back in the case, we go back all the way to the start of the gents really and varies from project we've seen you see massive success in the space. Across one of ones we obviously did a project together called Tabs which is just a great project and cut based in the Discord which I'm a big fan of and yeah we are super excited to have you on as our Stubs last week. We didn't do Stubs last week by the way.
The code for today at Radioforce Stubs is ALIEN QUEEN ALL CAPS, ALIEN QUEEN ALL CAPS. Want to go on there? You'll be able to claim your Subs for today, but yeah, how are? You doing in Queen. What are you doing and have you? Is the piece up? I think it's making, yes. It is. Have you seen it? It's pretty cool. I didn't. Get the chance, but I'll. See what you're? Doing at the moment and you've been there for the last maybe a month or two, OK. Yeah, so I'm working on something with.
I'm part of the outliers program with transient labs. With Proof and Kevin Rose. So I'm working on actually a massive dynamic NFT piece. It's really ambitious, so I can't wait to share with you guys with that. So it's taking like a really long time because I have all these ideas with it. So hopefully it'll be everyone will enjoy it when I release it. And then? Yeah, really good. They do some great projects alongside artists in space, so that sounds awesome.
I didn't realize that was alongside Moonbirds as well. Or Kevin Rose. Yeah. That's awesome. So yeah, I'm pretty backed up on that. And then I think I'm gonna be doing an exhibit in Dubai with Art and Space Gallery next year. Yeah, wow. I've never been there, so I'm excited. That'd be fun. I. Think they do some really good art events. They've got like a real art community out there. I know then they've hosted a bunch of events. I think Art Week in Dubai is
always like a big event. Yeah, Obi went. There last year or this year? Yeah, that's so cool. That's so cool. So, but that's it. I just, I'm trying to pace myself. Yeah, you've had a. Busy year so far. Yeah. Just started. Pointing to the rec show yes. I can't wait to get wrecked with you guys. I need it. I think we all. Need it right? Yeah, we. All need it. Somebody's wrecked. I think they always. Do better during bear markets than they do during bull
markets. Then everyone's just surprised that people have even shown up. You know, that's that's, that's the utility, yeah. Yeah, this. Piece is awesome. I didn't even see it until now. This is wrecked. Wrecked morning. Yes. An ODE. To rec guy at the same time, it's ODE. To rec guy, it's ode to the the whole market right now and the bear market everything. But we're still around. So we're not dead yet, right. So not on the outside.
Not on the outside, anyway. I know, just on the inside. Is this what is? So is this meant to be what rec guy looks like under the hoodie? Is that? Yeah, kind of. Wow, yeah. But we're still around, right? Cool, I'm still here. It's drinking wrecked coffee. It's wrecked. Coffee. I was like, is that soup or is that okay? It could be anything. I just drew some massive mug and I was like, it's like toxic wrecked juice probably. Yeah, we used to. Start serving that at the wrecked shows.
I was like, wow that. Would be awesome. Wow, we kind of right there's wrecked juice. We. Are having it some stuff. We should maybe go into your history as an artist a little bit, like maybe for the audience who don't don't know you like maybe a bit of background and and how you got into this this style, it would be really cool to hear.
Yeah, so I've always been an artist my whole life and went to school for animation, everything and then heard about the NFT space and was like, wow, this is really awesome. It does give an opportunity to digital artists like me and then join the space. I started off doing like psychedelic Cambodian, like part of my culture did that and then people like that as well. But then I I'm going to have to say, when DJ's came out, it really released my true self
like me as a person personality. And I thought like, wow, I really relate to this community. So I entered the competition. Did the crazy degens that went viral and then after that I just felt really free. I mean, I would thank you guys for having degens. And then I just started to be myself and you know, I'm I love psychedelics and weed and everything and skate culture, the 90s Beavis and Butthead.
And then and then I've always wanted to be like a comic book artist or work at Adult Swim. All that stuff. So I started to illustrate my experiences or my feelings, but but by using characters so you can see and the girls are like based on me. And then I just tripped them out, like, you know, they're all me, even the skeletons and everything. Because underneath it all we're skeletons, right. So I just, yeah.
So I just tried to. Well, I wanted people to relate with me and relate with the skull characters as well. So yeah, that's how I draw my feelings. Just life. And Death series that you did recently, you've got no one of ones for sale on Super at the moment. They've all gone. Yeah, I'm sold out. Well, this is this is awesome some of these. The Life and Death series. That was because I was part of the Super rare path. So three people won those. So that's a cool.
Yeah. Those are really cool series. Yeah, well. Some of these recent cells, I haven't even gone to a page for a while. They've all gone. I remember you said a couple of months ago you thought, you thought no, everything's gone so quiet and now everything's gone so. Yeah. You're obviously pacing yourself, right? So, right. So that's even. Better for everyone in the Stubs community. Like there are no Alien Queen pieces for sale apart from tabs and this limited edition mint,
so make sure. You clean your stuff. Alien Queen is the code for today and I'll double check how many are going to have to be burned for them to be great. This feels like this. Feels like it's gonna be an awesome, awesome Mint for us. Thank you so much for coming on. I know, I know you're busy today and that's why it might work, but it's been an absolute pleasure and maybe, I don't know, we'll definitely mention you again on Friday.
If you wanna come back up on Friday, we'd have you and talk through anything else during the Mint process. Sure. That's awesome. Yeah, I'll try to join on Friday. I'll talk to you soon. OK, I can't wait to see you guys. Really. In London. It's gonna. Be. Weeks. Away we are. I know. So we're gonna, we're gonna go hard in London. You went hard last year, so it's gonna be a.

Yeah, I have actually told Michael this several times, but you know, his listening ability is is low. Yeah, I. Didn't see you in New York. Oh yeah, that was your first. Yeah, New York. In Paris. Paris. Yeah, yeah. OK. So at least I did see you. Yeah, I. Do show up sometimes?
Not all the time, I think. I feel like if you go to every party, people get used to you and they're like kind of like, you know, you need to like at least maybe that's just cuz I have a bad conversation, but I think people only need to see me like 50% of the time. It is exciting when I see your team. Hello. Yeah, life. OK. Well, I don't claim. Thank you so much for coming and we will see you. Guys, I actually got.
One more person we're going to bring up Michael Kutcher, who was a stub artist in the recent past. I believe he's in the audience. He's in the background, yeah. Waiting in the back. Great to see you Mando. GM I thought you. Were going to meet your calls. Hey, how's it going unfortunately? It's pretty much of a different lineup than last time you came. Farooq is unfortunately away, and so is OSF, but I hear you.
Very very kindly have done AirDrop for everyone who owns one of your pieces on the stubs collection. Do anyone want to do that and is that another stubs piece or is it something separate? No, it's actually the sketch for the for the stomach piece. Yeah. All right. So it's kind of like the initial kind of line drawing that always this is how. The initial stage before all the detail, all the paint or digital paint comes in and I thought it's nice to have for the
collectors as well. Almost like a mini collection. Yeah, I love. That that's so we have the original sketch. I'm trying to find where the there it is. So you have the. Wow. Yeah. This is so cool. All right. So for the 22 people who claimed you now get to have the the original sketch. This is this is kind of the sort of stuff that we can do with stuff which is which is really, really cool. Once you have a very small group of collectors or group of collectors, you can reward them
with the pieces. And Michael, look, we love that piece. Thank you so much. Thank you for. Coming back, I know we missed you on Friday last week, but. It's cool. You and Eddie both on the same show. I love. Love Alien Queens work. So I'm it's pretty cool to be the stuffs artists between Cory and Alien Queen and yeah, we're going we're going really going hard. Yeah, yeah. This has been quite banger after banger, which I'm really, really
happy about. And yeah, thank you so much for doing the AirDrop. I know Cory's doing some cool stuff with his as well. So for the audience, just, you know, make sure you're claiming these. This is a really cool thing. We've now had, I think, well, dozens of amazing artists who come on the show and that now air dropping awesome stuff will allow you to do cool stuff with
your stubs. So make sure you're checking out radio stubs or just stubs on open C Thanks so much again, Michael. Really appreciate you coming back, Okay. Look, I think that is going to be the show for today. We are going to be back again tomorrow. I think it's gonna be maybe. Us plus OSF or Mika if she if she responds but but we're definitely gonna have three Co hosts I think tomorrow. It's felt good. This felt like what we normally chat about for years. 100%, yeah, yeah, yeah.
The easiest job in the world when you've been doing it for over a decade. Yeah, it's actually. Might as well just be in the same room, but. Yeah, if we will tell your friends that we are not so bad.
