Thunder's just gone off in my bathroom. It's day 10 of like, extreme carnivore diet.
[00:00:31] Unknown:
Well, I'm sorry that that this happened to you. You know, you wanna make fat jokes about me all the time on your different shows and on Twitter. Hey. Mhmm. I don't feel bad for you. I'm fine. Okay. Stomach's in good shape.
[00:00:47] Unknown:
Other than being empty, I'm very good. Thank you, mate. How are you? Oh, I didn't even ask how you were. I asked what the p's and m's meant to you. But since you asked, I'm fine. Oh, you said you did. You asked how how you said how are you feeling? I don't think so. That's what you said. Check the tape. What are you feeling? What are you feeling?
[00:01:04] Unknown:
What are you feeling? Yeah. Check the tapes. I'm pretty sure you did. Alright. We gotta get right into it. Introducing the show. I I picked some music here. I've been into this guy, Ed Trader's Music Beat. Have you ever heard this guy? Mm-mm. Well, you're about to. Like a dilly. Get hyped for the show.
[00:01:51] Unknown:
Thunder in the backpack.
[00:02:05] Unknown:
I imagine this is what he sounded like when you were in the bathroom. He was screaming. So he was
[00:02:51] Unknown:
Oh, yeah. You fucking wacko. Yeah. It was like drinking every night like an absolute cunt, not sleeping at all and eating anything I possibly wanted, straight into zero alcohol, training every day. All I'm eating is beef, eggs, air, water, black coffee. At the end of the list? Oh, you
[00:03:13] Unknown:
you eat me all day.
[00:03:18] Unknown:
Nobody wants that.
[00:03:20] Unknown:
Hey. I I really enjoyed your, your confab episode with Kerim. Well, it's not released yet, is it? Yeah. But it will be released, so we're playing with time here. You know? I get the Oh, it will be by the time this goes live. I get first dibs at listening to things. Manipulate time. Not a regular guy. I'm on the inside. Yeah. So I've I've already started TRT and, totally jacked.
[00:03:43] Unknown:
Yep. Really?
[00:03:45] Unknown:
Yeah. That's all it took. In that one day period? I was just on the edge. Incredible. Mhmm. Wow. You just looked at a white stream. That's all it took to recapture my form.
[00:03:57] Unknown:
You get that, mate. I think there was some top tier tips in there.
[00:04:01] Unknown:
There were top tier tips. Yeah. I mean, as far as the keto stuff, aren't you know, I knew all that, but then when he got into the chemistry, then I put my earphones on, really listened intently. Mhmm. We'll see. I've got a good friend that started TRT, like, six months ago, and he's like, oh, I'd I'd never go back. Yeah. I hear that a lot. Karen's been doing this for years Mhmm. And, like, gone deep into it also. I think the guy knows what he's talking about. I'll say. Yeah. He at least bullshitted enough to fill up an hour and and something with with all that information. Yeah. For a degen Mhmm. Drug loving fucking weirdo, he's actually quite smart. He is quite smart. You know, I've gotten to know him a little bit better, over the past few months, and and really like him. Yeah. He knows some stuff. We we were saying in the the ungoverned Willows Fitz chat, if I'm a father figure to you and Q, then he's just, like, the weird uncle.
Yeah. That's quite fitting. It works. Alright. We've got an episode of PMM to do, and we only have two topics here. They are an article by our good friend Charles Francois Bienvenue Muriel titled The Revolution for Your Mind. That's right. He's back. What a legend. He's gonna give us plenty of fodder to talk about. Then we'll just move right on to an article that I wrote about mentorship and friendship and fatherhood and just being a good man, and and that essence of being a good man just emanates to all things around you and everything that you touch. Like it. We'll see if you like it. I know I will. Up first, let's read some boosts. That way we can get right into the show. Max, you're up first. Late stage Huddle with 15,000
[00:05:37] Unknown:
sats. I'm really looking forward to hearing John's rendition of I've Been Everywhere. I've been everywhere, man. Very nice. For all the possible places where Max lives now Oh, we should do that. I retract my entry into the giveaway. I was looking for a clamp on multimeter, not one of Max's u strap on multi dildos. Oops. Already in the mail. Shit. Note that was the best rooster impression I've ever heard. Really spot on, mate. But I didn't have any carefully selected quotes for this boost. I'll be sure to provide citations next time. I hear one.
Thanks for making me laugh and also for providing signal through the noise. You're welcome. Hope to see you all at Lake Satoshi. I'll be the f f c.
[00:06:35] Unknown:
Alright. Yeah. I've I've heard that about late stage Hottle. He's a big boy. We had to send him special edition shirts and hoodies. Yeah. Yeah? Is he? He had special requests, especially the the boulder boosters.
[00:06:47] Unknown:
Yeah. We did. Yeah. That's right. Jordan made that. To message the, sweatshop employees and say,
[00:06:54] Unknown:
bigger, bigger, more, more, more. You gotta work all the time. We got bigger American boy. Gotta make shit for. That's what it sounds like in our sweatshop.
[00:07:01] Unknown:
What's that song? Give me
[00:07:03] Unknown:
more more more. What's that song? Billy Idol, rebel yell. That's what the rebels yelled in the sweatshop. More more more in Chinese. More more more. More material. We run out. Thanks, late stage huddle. Always our top booster. It's interesting. We've been doing this show for so long. We're, like, 15,000 sats back in the day. Been like, what are you? Throwing peanuts at us? Get out of here. That's pretty good. We'll take it now.
[00:07:31] Unknown:
It's big time. Yeah. Thank you very much. Next up is Bubba.
[00:07:34] Unknown:
Another great show in the books. Boys listened while traversing the Rocky Mountains with a half cow on ice in the back. Got it from Jason Weryk at Weryk Ranch in Crawford, Colorado. Paid in Bitcoin. So I think I did it right. What a beautiful ranch in the mountains. Hey, John. Since you're Max's dad, if you want, I'll be yours. Oh, thanks, buddy. So, hey, son. Oh. Get me a fucking beer. Nice. I wanna tell you something. Keep me in mind. I'm available. And, Max, chickens are easy as they eat anything, which is true. And if there is a slow day with eggs, you can go do what I do with ours. I whisper sweet as I can to them. Bitches, I'm gonna like eating you. It works every time. Oh, fuck off until next time.
Alright. We will.
[00:08:24] Unknown:
That's a great tip. Top tier tip. Chet, l m f a o. Are we planning a game of where in the world is Maxi San Salvador, question mark, question mark, question mark. Costa Rica, Guatemala? Where in the world? You old motherfuckers, l m f a o. I'm tiring of this Bitcoin life I long for. I think we all are, buddy. I feel you, mate.
[00:08:53] Unknown:
Then Chet, you're really going to like Charles Francois, Bienvenue, Muriel's article in this edition of PMM. I think everybody's gonna like it. Next up is Jordan boosting from the fountain desktop. Oscar and team have done some more enhancements on the mobile and desktop experience. Very cool. Also, I really enjoyed the two topics at the docket. Great evergreen value. Thanks, boys. You're welcome, sir, and thank you for all that you've done. Thank you. By the way, I just want to mention, usually, our boosts are compiled and provided by Jordan, but this time, expatriotic took over that duty. So thank you, sir. Yeah. Thank you, mate. Next up is time sloth slash stack jaro.
There were two of the same boost. So same guy boosting from two different applications. I don't know. Mhmm. It's too much. Lightning, dude. Fucking sex, dude. Sat for sack, which is more efficient? The eggs from your own chickens when you sell the extra eggs or bit axes with the $13.70 chips mining on an FPPS or similar payout non solo mining? Pool. Eggs. The eggs. Egg miners every time. Yeah. Especially when you can trade them for things like sourdough like we do.
[00:09:59] Unknown:
Delicious.
[00:10:00] Unknown:
Yeah. Oh, I love sourdough. Ever tried homemade Yes. I have. I did my whole starter and and everything, and it was giant pain in the ass. And then our friend makes really great sourdough, so that just makes sense. I can feed chickens. Okay. She can make sourdough, and she's a chiropractor.
[00:10:16] Unknown:
That's a collaborative transaction.
[00:10:19] Unknown:
It is. There's a whole collaboration going on there. Sarah brings over eggs to their house to cut their family's hair and do their hair, and then she comes back with sourdough and a chiropractic adjustment.
[00:10:31] Unknown:
Do you ever, like, watch the chiropractic adjustments, like, videos of it? Mhmm. I think I like a towel and No. I don't like those ones. I don't like the ones where they pull the neck. I like the ones where they sort of, like, look like they're putting someone in a choke hold, and then they do, like, the sideways neck one, and it's like, and I'm like, oh, god.
[00:10:53] Unknown:
It's making me wanna puke. It's fucking amazing. You need that right now. Yeah. I do. I do. Have you ever seen a chiropractor? Have I? Yeah. I have seen a chiropractor. Yeah. So good, isn't it? They say, my god. You're a fucking mess. What do you do? Yeah.
[00:11:08] Unknown:
Like, what don't I do? Sorry.
[00:11:12] Unknown:
Alright. Let's get moving. Next up on boost is Henry. Don't get bad brains from listening to bad brains. That's good advice. Mhmm. Wire stuff, ground yourself, and inverse square law of the rest. Everything has an electrical component to it, the soil, plants, bacteria, and people, and even biochar, which you should be putting in your chicken coop. I'd love to do biochar stuff. I I've watched lots of biochar videos, you know, maybe someday. Biochar dunked in Bokashi and fed to chooks, I assume chooks, will increase the quality and color, oh, this guy's a European, said color, of your eggs. That only cost £2 here, and where the fuck are you paying $4.50? Could you only source eggs by driving to Belgravia in your Tesla?
[00:12:01] Unknown:
That's fair. No. I used to, it's just as bad. I used to go to Waitrose in the, Tesla or a truck, either one. Oh, it it's posh. Yeah. And then I would get Burford Browns, they were called. Eggs for rich suckers. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And they always had, like, that really rich, like, orange sunset orange yolks rather than all the others would have, like, whitey yellowy, like, very light colored shit. And I just really enjoyed them. And they were more money, but I was just like, sometimes you gotta live a little.
[00:12:32] Unknown:
Hey. Whatever makes you happy. When you eat so few things, a good egg really means something.
[00:12:38] Unknown:
Yeah. Exactly.
[00:12:39] Unknown:
I've heard they put marigolds. They give them marigolds, and that that makes that color. Really? Mhmm. Yeah. Marigolds.
[00:12:47] Unknown:
What? The gloves that you use for washing up or disposing of bodies? No. The flower.
[00:12:52] Unknown:
The flower. Oh. The marigold. The flower. Yeah. Do you call the gloves marigolds over there?
[00:12:57] Unknown:
No. We're not gay. They're all they're always yellow. They're always that color, and they're called marigolds.
[00:13:03] Unknown:
Oh, alright. They're not always That's a bit gay. You know who would think that was gay would be Pies.
[00:13:12] Unknown:
Pies says, John, you're an OG like me. You always do your workouts in marigolds. I'm old and beat up, but still work circles around young bucks and hit the gym for prison yard workouts four days a week. I can barely stand up and walk, but we're warriors. We carry on and go at it.
[00:13:36] Unknown:
No. You never forget the warriors. That's something, Karim said too. He's like, you know, my shoulder is so fucked up. Oh my god. Just just keep going.
[00:13:45] Unknown:
It is the most disgusting thing I've ever seen. I'm just like, what the fuck? How are you still functioning with your shoulder like that? It is proper fucked.
[00:13:54] Unknown:
Yeah. But he carries on. Just inject some what is it? Like, Wolverine juice, he said, something like that. Yeah. Pretty much. War time says
[00:14:02] Unknown:
explosion explosion in my pants. Oh, yeah. Zaker boy,
[00:14:07] Unknown:
a bit of normality question mark. Not him, mate. I don't want I don't think so. I think far from I don't I don't recall on that episode titled No. Off if there was any, normality involved. No. Up next is our article.
[00:14:23] Unknown:
Chooks, by the way. Sorry, mate. No. Please. Delay the show. No. I will. Chooks, I've heard a few people in The UK say that before for chickens. So Okay. I don't think that's like he's miss misspelled it. It's just like people call them chooks. Okay. Chooks it is. And some people go northern, more northern, be like, alright, Chuck. Right. You're right, mate. Like, you're right, chicken.
[00:14:46] Unknown:
Okay. I like that. I like it better than mate. Everyone else overuses mate. Even the Europeans will say mate all the time. Even Canadians do it. Get out of here with this, mate. Canadians obviously took it from us, but everyone says mate. They did. Yeah. But I prefer it to bro.
[00:15:02] Unknown:
I don't say bro. I say brother. Oh, brother's okay. It's a bit bit more old school, a bit more biker gang kind of gay sort of thing, but it's it's not bro.
[00:15:12] Unknown:
You know what I mean? Like, handlebar mustache handlebar mustache kind of stuff. Hey. I actually don't have one of those. I I trimmed my beard up for the summer. Oh, very nice. I feel nude.
[00:15:22] Unknown:
Okay. Come on. Let's get on with the show. Fucking out. Oh, okay. I'm getting ready. Look at my
[00:15:27] Unknown:
This, article is titled The Revolution for Your Mind by Charles Francois Bienvenue, Muriel. And he's got a quote from a very wise man. It says, stay punk, never sell out, and be an inspiration to others, or else they'll sell out or never even be punk in the first place. I hope this message lights a fire in all of your collective asses to never forget the struggle that brought you here. Sounds guy. Remember the blood, sweat, and raw determination that shaped who you are and why you got involved in ungovernable misfits in the first place. So a wise old man once said that in an article titled, don't forget the struggle, don't forget the streets.
What a great way to start off an article. My man. That's my dude. He's like a little brother to me. That was your best work, by the way. Thank you very much. I thought Atlas mind. I've been reposting Atlas mind a lot lately not to get into mining Mhmm. Too much just because of the abject cookery and defeatist feminine attitude. No. It's okay to lose money. I'm doing it for the for the revolution, man. Mhmm. Stop it. Shut up. Said everybody yesterday in blood miner math. He had Telegram group. Atlas mind should be required reading for everybody in this group. Mhmm. Charles goes on to say, the Bitcoin subculture is dying.
It was always destined to die. If Bitcoin were to become relevant and dominant global currency, it meant that it would inevitably morph into the mainstream culture. The idea would somehow fix mainstream culture is rather silly and naive. We find ourselves facing a tremendous amount of conflict because those who follow mainstream culture are unwilling or incapable of coming to grips with reality. The expectation that they would have their minds changed by Bitcoin podcasters, books outlining the history of money, and influencers wielding ref links is silly. That doesn't mean that Bitcoin's subculture has not had an impact on larger society.
It doesn't mean that all the energy and excitement around Bitcoin was a waste of energy. But in the larger conversation, the cypherpunk ideals that many of us strongly believe in will likely never be adopted by the masses. That is because the masses do not value self respect, thinking for themselves, and human dignity. Many of them have been sold the promise of convenience, comfort, and safety. Most revolutionary movements are based on a collectivist set of ideals which are destined to fail. Michael Malice outlines this in masterful detail in his book, the white pill. The book details the history of how idealists such as Emma Goldman, aligned with the Bolsheviks in order to topple the czar, only to find that they had helped enable a monster to take power that was a thousand times worse than the system they had fought to replace.
In the West, the history of the Bolshevik revolution is rather fuzzy for some reason. Not only does the majority of historical discussion fail to mention the absolute carnage wrought by the Soviets, but it also fails to mention the good intentioned idealist who aligned with the Bolsheviks during the revolution. The Kronstadt rebellion of nineteen twenty one is the perfect example of this. Russian sailors who had fought on the side of the Red Army for the ideals of empowering the working man staged a protest as they saw the writing on the wall. They demanded elections, a restoration of civil rights, and more representation from other groups such as the anarchists and socialists in government.
The Soviets' response to their protest was to slaughter them with artillery. What started as a revolution based on the ideals of equality for the worker turned into one of the most oppressive and tyrannical forms of human organization ever created. This story is an important one for dissident groups to understand for multiple reasons. The first is the danger of disrupting existing power structures as the new one replacing it could and often does turn out to be significantly more destructive. The second is that no tyrannical power structure can last indefinitely because the human spirit cannot withstand it.
To be successful as a revolutionary, you have to be ruthless, which many of us aren't. I'll speak for myself here. I'm not a murderer. I'm not willing to kill in order to further my political aspirations. I'm not willing to lie, cheat, and steal in order to conquer others. I'm appalled by those who do things and work to build my life in a way where I work as little with individuals like that as possible. If you are like me, that puts us at a serious disadvantage compared to those whose goal is to conquer the masses into believing our worldview. I'm not a pacifist, and I am willing to kill in self defense.
I hope that never happens, but that is different than the belligerents who actively go on the attack in order to accomplish their goals. Framing things in terms of revolution is not helpful for peaceful and sane individuals. Many of us may become revolutionaries if the circumstances get dangerous enough. Though I would argue that we are not there yet, though we still do live under many forms of tyranny. We may not be revolutionaries yet find ourselves in conflict with mainstream culture, the institutions that dominate it, and often the state. There is something innate with us that cannot comply with the societal norms being force fed down our throats. We want to produce things of value, not focus on the nuances of microaggressions.
We want to build a legacy, not focus on the intricacies of compliance. The idea of a revolution has been made seen as sexy in pop culture, but the reality is that a real revolution requires the individuals participating in it to often go to dark places. As dark and depraved as the people they are fighting against, there is a likely chance of not living to see the end of it and facing immense amounts of danger. What many people opt in for instead are societal movements LARPing as being a revolution because it's safe. It can be cathartic to LARP with others who are also frustrated with what's going on, but LARPing will likely do very little to change anything as we are watching happen now with a good portion of the ecosystem interacting with Bitcoin. I just wanna pause on that one for a little bit. That whole LARPing revolutionary thing feeling cathartic.
Man, that that one really hit when I read it the first time. Yeah. There is certainly a lot of that going on. Are we part of it? I feel like in some ways, we are. Some some ways. Yeah. I thought about it. I took a little introspection there Yeah. To make sure I'm not full of shit. Sometimes I am. Sometimes I'm larping. Mhmm. But most of the time, I'm working as hard as I can to increase the sovereignty and resilience of my family and my community around me. In my heart, that's what I think I'm doing. I think that's where the larp is. Some people
[00:22:27] Unknown:
will act as though by just holding Bitcoin, they're changing the world and, like, fighting all these things that they have an issue with. Mhmm. Is not really truthful. Like, if someone's honest with themselves, but if you're honest with yourself and you say, I'm trying to improve my life and my family's life and give ourselves as much freedom as I can, that's probably a bit closer to the mark and a bit more fair. It works for me. Yeah. It's not a cope, I don't think. I don't think so. I I used to have this theory. I'm just gonna hold as much Bitcoin for as long as I can and never let it go to banks or the cunts who fucked up the original system, and I'm gonna try and accumulate more and spend less.
And if that means, like, suffering and not having the things that I need, then that's gonna be worth it in the end.
[00:23:16] Unknown:
And you did. You suffered for years.
[00:23:19] Unknown:
Yeah. I I mean, not like really suffered. It's like, you know, first world suffering really, isn't it? But, like Okay. But you could have had a different life the past few years, and you you chose not to go down that path. Oh, yeah. For sure. But I I think the thing is I used to think that by doing that, I'm gonna change the world. And I think just over time, I've realized, like, no. That's not gonna change the world. Also, that matters less to me than what's immediately important in front of me. Like, my immediate family, having food on their table, getting an education, having the things that they need, like, getting to spend time with them.
Like, that's more immediately important, and I think a lot of that also is because when I look around at the people that I'm supposed to be standing shoulder to shoulder with who are this, like, Bitcoin movement Mhmm. If I compare them today to who I was shoulder to shoulder with five, six, seven, eight years ago, it's totally fucking different. And, like Yeah. I would not wanna go to battle with these fucking retards. No. These motherfuckers are soft. Yeah. So my confidence in the whole movement is nowhere near as strong as it was previously,
[00:24:32] Unknown:
and that then affects how I move through life, my ideas on Bitcoin and other stuff. K. Bitcoin isn't gonna save us. You gotta save yourself. Absolutely. I would say this caveat. Perhaps the people that you are shoulder to shoulder with now are more worth being shoulder to shoulder with, and you're far closer to them than you were with people who you didn't know personally
[00:24:53] Unknown:
Yes. But may have more idealistic things in common with each other. Yeah. I was speaking to Ben about this the other day, and we've just what we're saying for a while, but it's like this whole thing of Bitcoiners get each other and Bitcoiners are like Mhmm. Have this different worldview and, like, they're tougher and they're the people, like, I wanna have as part of my life and blah blah blah. It's like, nah. That's gone. Just being a Bitcoiner means absolutely nothing now. Nothing. Like, don't come to me like, yeah. I'm a Bitcoiner man. I'm one of you. It's like, no. You're not. Like, you gotta prove that you're something else. You're not just a lump in cunt, which is 90% of people. I think that's why a lot of people see ungovernable misfits as, like, the next next level podcast,
[00:25:38] Unknown:
you know, organization to be involved with. There's there's really nothing entry level about about the the Ungovernable Misfits organization.
[00:25:46] Unknown:
No. You have to be a special type of retard to be Yeah. Listening to this. Sure. You gotta be super super special retard to be to be in it. Just know if you're listening to this. You're very special. You're one of the real ones. Yeah. You really are. And I don't think we get a lot of, like, transient listeners. This is a really dedicated group of people Yeah. That we are privileged to be friends with. Yeah. Definitely. It's pretty niche, but it's extremely tight knit. And, like, even just today, like, someone who's in one of our groups and, like, I went docs and stuff that we were talking about the other day, and I've been back and forth with them. You'll know who you are. Just being able to reach out to some of these people who've been listeners for a long time and just have that instant, like, level of connection and trust Mhmm. Is pretty fucking awesome. So when I say most of this is a larp, I exclude
[00:26:40] Unknown:
the groups who we interact with. Like, that's Most of them are a larp. Yeah. Not us. They. But sometimes sometimes maybe I feel larpy.
[00:26:49] Unknown:
She, they, thems. He's gross.
[00:26:52] Unknown:
Let's finish up with Charles Francois. Public perception is a mirage that is constantly getting manipulated by individuals who have incentives to try and lead the public in a certain direction. That is why it's important to mostly discard what the masses think. Much of their opinions are informed by news anchors, journalists, writers, statists, pundits, and philosophers who spew nonsensical garbage meant to elicit some sort of behavioral change, Whether it is to vote a certain way, behave a certain way, or purchase a product, most of the information presented to people by propagandists is not meant to empower the individual.
In today's world, it is not a revolutionary action to join a social movement, use a certain technology, hate the shit coins, run a bit ax, buy a hardware wallet, or lobby a politician. Unless you have been able to achieve meaningful progress in your own life for the better, Becoming more confident in yourself and your abilities, you have not made any progress. The most effective thing you can do to create positive change in your life and the world around you is to utilize your own brain. That action may lead you to buying a hardware wallet, foundation devices, of course. Use code ungovernable. But it is important to understand the order the order of operations here.
Achievements of your happiness is the only moral purpose of your life, and that happiness, not pain or mindless self indulgence, is the proof of your moral integrity since it is the proof and the result of your loyalty to the achievement of your values, Ayn Rand. To fix the symptoms, you have to first understand the malady. There has been a social movement that was created on the premise that if we fix the money, we will fix the world. Now we watch as many of the podcasters, conference speakers, and authors that preach this concept to us are beginning to marry the establishment that they once railed against.
Bitcoin is being adopted by governments and politicians. It is being accepted by the banks, by the biggest corporations in the world, and it seems to be fixing very little. Privacy abuses by governments and corporations are only increasing. Taxation continues to be just as sinister as ever. Market manipulation due to central planners appears to only be accelerating. The social movement that appeared to have the most chance at disrupting all of this appears to be disappearing and morphing into the system that many of us had fought to replace. If there is any chance that Bitcoin will have a positive impact on the world, it is not strictly because of its innate qualities.
For Bitcoin to have a positive impact on the world, it must work to empower individuals with decency and self respect. Those individuals need to be active participates in their own lives, thinking critically about what is truly best for them and utilizing Bitcoin as a vehicle in order to be able to pursue the things they value. My philosophy is that tyranny is impossible when individuals value themselves enough to use their own minds and are willing to fight to protect the right to do so. Bitcoin is an interesting technology because in many ways, it enables the ability to do that. The sad reality is that tyranny exists because the majority of people in our society do not value their minds.
They value safety, compliance, and comfort. The choice of safety overthinking is why we are facing hard times, and it will likely only get harder. It can be discouraging when you look at the world around you. You see problems that seem self evident, but your peers fail to understand either due to ignorance or apathy. You may feel isolated and alone and likely will continue to as long as you have the benefit that your duty is to change others' minds. The information industrial complex wants people to focus entirely on things that they have no power over. The TV attempts to get people upset at everything outside of what is in their immediate control. Change fails to happen because individuals are so hyper focused on everything except for themselves.
You have the opportunity to change yourself despite what everyone around you is doing. Just because the general society is sick and has low self esteem does not mean that you also have to have. When you change yourself and live with self respect, you become an example for others. So much of our culture is dominated by hollow influencers trying to influence how people think. They are often either blatantly full of shit or exposed as being charlatans eventually. The goal of personal growth should not be for the purpose of trying to change other people or changing the world. It should be because you actually value yourself.
To think for yourself in modern society is a revolutionary act. It can be difficult and in many ways dangerous. Freedom is never safe. As we watch the Bitcoin subculture shift and morph into pop culture, it does not mean that we have to shift and morph with it. We will find each other, and together, we will build the world that we want to pass down to our children.

He really is such a great writer.
[00:32:09] Unknown:
He really is. Yeah.
[00:32:12] Unknown:
Also true. I like that last bit as well. Like, that we'll all find each other. We'd have to move with what's turning into pop culture. Yeah. Because it definitely feels like that. Greaser and that lot will be very upset with what I'm saying here, but I haven't tuned into a single podcast in about ten weeks.
[00:32:33] Unknown:
Wow.
[00:32:34] Unknown:
Yeah. I just I just can't do it anymore. I just can't. What have you been listening to? The birds. That's nice. Yeah. That's a nice answer. Yeah. I've just tuned out of, like, at certain shows that I would check-in on and updates here and I'd listen in or there's an update over there or there's this thing going on. Since moving so a little bit before moving because I was just so busy, I was just like, no. My brain's too busy. I've got too much going on. No. I just no. A lot of the shows that I used to listen to just aren't what they used to be. The whole, like, culture around it and comments I see and messages on Twitter and everything, I'm just, like, disgusted by, and I'm just, like, no.
I listen to the birds.
[00:33:19] Unknown:
Birds are government drones. So much of their conversation is guided by their sponsors. Oh, yeah. That's the great thing about our sponsors, and I'll not so grossly pivot to alter tech.io. But there's never any input from our sponsors on what we should be talking about, not even their products. Nope. They sponsor the show because they appreciate our message.
[00:33:42] Unknown:
Yeah. I I would say with one caveat is that I have to let q and a on the show every couple of weeks, and that is a burden. It's kinda gross. It is it is a burden. But, you know, you you spend enough time with it, and you start to not like it, but accept it.
[00:34:03] Unknown:
It's like having a gay son. You know? You don't like it. Yeah. But you you learn to live with it. I didn't just call q my gay son, by the way. I see now people's wheels are turning.
[00:34:17] Unknown:
Yeah. Yeah. That's the only input, and that is a nice spot to be in, a very nice spot to be in. But there's just not many out there. Like, I can see the draw. I can see some of the ones that have done it and, like, they're like, they've worked out this Bitcoin thing and number does go up even if we don't like the way that people talk about it and focus on that rather than other things, but you can see the draw, can't you? Mhmm. Especially when life changes come and it's like, oh, fucking hell. Life's quite expensive now. You can see it, but fuck that. We do things differently. We do. Well, thank you, Francois. We appreciate you. Mhmm. We do things differently. Our sponsor, Altairtech.io,
[00:34:58] Unknown:
does things differently as well. A lot of the minor gear salesman just focus on trying to get you some let me find some used machines somewhere. I'm going to palletize them up and ship them off to you and sell them in a lot and hope that not too many of them are broken. Yeah. Or I'm going to happen to, you know, have some coupons for Bitmain, and I'm gonna get them shipped over here, and I'm gonna pass the duties onto you later on.
[00:35:25] Unknown:
Mhmm.
[00:35:26] Unknown:
AlterTech doesn't operate that way. All the duties are paid for. Everything ships from Missouri. Nobody knocking on your door saying, hey. This is actually gonna cost this much because we valued the miner as x, and you have to pay import fees. And Mhmm. Now there's different tariffs that you have to keep track of, and you're responsible for that. AlterTech doesn't do that. Everything ships from Missouri doesn't just sell I received them for Bitmain, and then I ship them off to you. He'll modify these machines for the home miner. He cares about the home miner. If you want to run a bit axe, great. He's got you covered. If you wanna get in some larger scale mining, he has you covered too. You wanna fiddle around with Loki rig stuff? Yep. Got that. Control boards? Got that. Pretty soon, I think this was announced, so I'm gonna say it. And if I'm wrong, sorry, barn. Sorry, Avril.
But they're going to be having their own firmware here soon. The Epic UMC boys have them white label their firmware. So pretty soon, Altair will be offering his own version of the Epic UMC firmware, which I like very much. It's smooth. It's easy to scale them up and down. They come up quickly and tune very, very quickly in comparison to some other firmwares. If you reboot these machines, it takes a long time to tune those chips and get it to the hash rate that you have it set up. The Epic UMC is not like that at all. You reboot the machine, you stop mining, you start it back up. It's pretty much at the hash rate or the power usage that you want it to be very quickly. When you wanna change fan speed, boom, little slider there, 75%, fifty %, hundred %. You can hear it scale up almost immediately. It's very responsive firmware. I like it a lot. And it's pretty neat that Avril has a great relationship with the EPIC UMC people, and they've allowed him to use that firmware.

Can you pay in Teva?
[00:37:19] Unknown:
No. He accepts Bitcoin, which you get a discount if you buy his gear in Bitcoin because he wants that corn. He want that fucking corn. I don't even think a motherfucker makes money. He just want that corn.
[00:37:34] Unknown:
He loves it. What about bond? The corn, dude. Lightning. That's I don't fucking have anything, dude. I don't fucking have any corn left. Going to fucking conferences, going to this fucking shit coin conference, going to fucking Nashville, dude, and then driving up and going to every I don't know if I can have anything left. Never should fucking start at mining, dude.
[00:37:52] Unknown:
Such an accurate portrayal of that goat.

He's not a bad guy.

Let's pump things up with a double ad read. A little bit of Lake Satoshi. I just want everybody to picture in their minds getting on your motorcycle, your Honda Gold Wing, getting on a plane, flying north to Michigan, getting in the family truckster,
[00:38:29] Unknown:
driving west. Took a look down a westbound road, right away I may not
[00:38:34] Unknown:
You're on your way to Langsburg, Michigan. You're on the rear to Lake Satoshi. Headed out to my big two wheeler. I was tired of my own roll. You're gonna see some friends there. Just now. As you roll up that dusty road to Lake Satoshi, see those smiling faces, thinking there's some good food cooking out on the grill already for you. Yeah. From Mike from Bitcoin101.IO. Just smiling, waving it. Waving yarn. Keep on driving. Go up that hill, past those sand dunes. What do you see? Pavilion full of these happy smiling faces ready to greet you. Jump on in the water.
She's a not gonna see a thing. Refreshing. Come and dry off. Warm up by your own campfire by your side.
[00:39:27] Unknown:
Get up to the tent right next to your friends.
[00:39:30] Unknown:
Have some deep conversations long into the night. That's Lake Satoshis. Won't you join us 08/02/2025.
[00:39:39] Unknown:
We didn't wait to see it. Said a word. We just walked out and got on that thing. Roll on with the rest of the show. That was a lovely ad read. I really felt like I was on my way there. Yeah. I had a little smile on my face.
[00:40:00] Unknown:
Someday you will be, buddy. I just know it. One day. I will. One day. It's right up at the top of my list. You'll get over this not showing your face nim bullshit. Come and slap some skins. Maybe. I recently, hired a guy to come work at my gas well with me. The guy talked about that on the last show. Did you, or was that just me and you chatting? I'm not sure. It all kind of just melds into one. Maybe you did. Because people don't realize our personal conversations are pretty much this. Pretty much. Yeah. Yeah. You know, we'll talk about the kids and stuff like that, but Yeah. A lot of this kind of stuff. He's been working out really, really well. I'm I'm pretty impressed with this guy. He's not afraid to go out of his comfort zone. Like, you can tell his comfort zone is a IT nerd, computers, that kind of stuff. But when it's time to get down and dirty and and sweat and work hard, he's like, yep. Okay. Whatever you need me to do.
[00:40:53] Unknown:
Is it kind of nice to pass on some skills, some knowledge?
[00:40:59] Unknown:
It really is. And you don't know how much you know until you try to tell somebody else how to do something. Just really simple stuff like putting on a logging chain. Mhmm. You know, like, hey. Just put on that hitch there and and throw that logging chain around and, you know, shorten it up and throw it back at me. I think, like, what? He doesn't know any of these terms that I just say, you know, how to slide a logging chain on another link, little stuff like that. And I know dads have this tendency, and I very much do too. Like, just get out of the fucking way. Just let me do it. Mhmm. And when you have the opportunity to show another person something, if you can, just take the time to do it. Yeah. You have all this muscle memory of stuff. They don't. It's hard not to let that kick in, though. They're like, get the fuck out of the way. Let me just do it. Because you know, it's gonna be 10 times quicker and better if I just do it. Yeah. But you're right. Then if you get hit by a bus, then who's gonna know this stuff? Well, it got me thinking about mentorship. Now I didn't hire this guy on to be his mentor, and I don't think he sees me as some kind of mentor. So when I I say mentorship, it's not me getting the big head, but there's an element of mentorship and just about everything that you do with a younger person that doesn't know all the things that you know.
So consider there to be elements of mentorship when you have these relationships with younger people. Yeah. So it inspired me to write an article for this episode of Ungovernable Misfits PMM. Would you like to hear it? I would I wouldn't like to hear it. I'd love to hear it. Oh, very good. I'm so glad. Here at Ungovertible Misfits, I like to think we represent sovereignty, freedom, and building communities that'll outlast the crumbling foundations of Western civilization that we are experiencing right now. You know, I only told Muriel, like, yesterday morning, like, hey, you know, we're recording Thursday afternoon, and the episode is gonna be on mentorship.
And he's like, okay. I'll have something written. I was like, wow. Holy shit. Okay. And then somehow, it didn't show him, you know, my article. We were, like, writing in that at the same time he's sending me, and I was like, oh, look. Here's my article. And, I don't know. They kind of meld together as I just read the first sentence. Mhmm. But our impact is meaningless if we don't pass on our hard earned wisdom to the next generation. As a Gen Xer that's right, Josh, who doesn't listen to the show anyhow, but calls me boomer all the fucking time.
[00:43:26] Unknown:
And he's always like, well, I haven't listened to the show since it was bit by bit. He does the same to me. He does he listens to every single episode. He just pretends to be cool that he's not listening. But he does. Alright, Josh. Here you go. He definitely listens. You little
[00:43:40] Unknown:
cunt. As a Gen Xer, you little fucking hairy son of a bitch. See, it likes to touch, buddy. I've seen the selfish boomer legacy, and I'm determined to do better. If we are to make that fourth turning, if we are the strong men who make good times, that means being a mentor, a friend, and a father, not just to my own kids, but to anyone who needs a steady hand, a swift, hey, yo, or a lesson on how to grip it and rip it. This article isn't preaching or an old man yelling into the void. It's one of showing up, working hard, and teaching and instilling resilience into the next generation through action. Mentorship.
As many of you know, I was in the military, and I and hate to keep talking about this, but I get so many good stories from back then. It was like an action packed time in my life. So you're getting another There's nothing wrong with speaking about your previous parts of your life, is there? Get over it. No. I'd I'd like to think I'd cover them all. I come up with a good story in my head about mentorship. You get a lot of that mentorship. It's part of the system. It's the way it's constructed. Mhmm. So I got a good story from. As many of you know, I was in the military. I made sergeant in under four years. I was a good marine. Nontypical, though. Not some wannabe drill instructor screaming at my guys until I was hoarse.
As a platoon sergeant, I'd led with a mix of stoicism when the shit hit the fan, understanding when someone needed guidance, and a hard ass edge only when they fucked up bad, and they did. I had plenty of tricks up my sleeves for when they did. Painting rocks wasn't my guy's first choice in how they spent their weekends. I could flip that switch, but I didn't live there. My job was to build marines up. I'd tear them down. So one time, we had a new sergeant. This guy's name was sergeant Perk. He came in all hard ass and out of place, especially with that platoon. It was very, like, a pleb minor kind of platoon. Everyone was a electronics maintenance technician. They were weirdos. They those guys were sharp. They all had high ASVAB scores, extensive schooling. Some of these guys were over were over a year. What's an ASVAB? Like, a special needs kind of thing. Armed services vocational aptitude battery
[00:45:50] Unknown:
Oh, okay. If you must know.
[00:45:52] Unknown:
They weren't the type of guys you bark into submission. I had a good reputation there. I was good at PT, that's physical fitness, good at fixing gear, a hard worker who partied with the guys at my beach house on weekends, but was the first one to show up to PT Monday morning, stinking of booze more than the rest of them, but clean shaven and ready to run. They were my friends. Twenty five years later, they still are. Well, sergeant Perk was rubbing everyone the wrong way with his hard ass bullshit. So I challenged him to a competition, two teams.
Set up GP tents. These are general purpose tents. It's just a just a big canvas tent. Check them, PM them, tear them down, pack them back up. The fastest group wins. He picked his team. I picked mine. Perked bark orders. I ran around like a spider monkey, sweating my ass off, showing my guys how to do it, trusting the ones who knew their shit. My team unequivocally smoked his, and he picked good guys too. It wasn't me just picking all the runners and he picked the losers. Not because I yelled louder, but because I worked harder, and they matched my energy. Leave from the front. Never let someone outdo you, but don't make it a one man show. That's my approach.
I carried that mindset into civilian lives. Four years as an engineer and project manager for long distance distance fiber builds, nineteen years of my current vocation as a construction spicer. Now I'm passing it on by sharing stories with you guys on Ungovernable Misfits and building community through all of you in the Pleb Miner Mafia, the Meshedel. No matter the circumstances, I try to be the guy who works his ass off so you know what to expect. Grunts, nods, yo, here and there. That's how most men communicate with respect. I don't see mentorship as lectures or acting like you've got all the answers.
Sometimes it's just showing up, sharing what you know, and letting the other guy figure it out. I've fallen into the trap of looking down on younger generations, calling them lazy or soft. Get out there and get to know them. You'll find different. Every generation has its strengths, and it's our job to mold them, not mock them. If we're going to lead our communities into a better future, we're compelled to pass on our work ethic and resilience. Currently, I've been working with a young man who's been with me at my natural gas well in Bitcoin mine. He's only been at it a few weeks, but I see the potential. He's an IT nerd, sharp as hell, raised right by his dad, a guy I work with, a hardworking guy I've known for fourteen years.
His time and talent would have been wasted this summer in fast food working with retards and women and retarded women. With me, he's learning Bitcoin mining, natural gas operations, electrical work, and perhaps most importantly, matching my energy. We recently went on a trip to West Virginia to pick up a generator and mining container, and we got some wind chill time together. I was glad to be able to get that time with him, listening to his take on the world, the poisoned food supply, COVID's mass psychosis, dystopian vaccine mandates, blind obedience to authority.
At one point, he says if all this goes to hell, I'm just going to drive east until the gas runs out and find an Amish community to join. Oh, bad plan. I told him that's not no. I didn't I told him that's not a bad idea. That's sharp. As long as he doesn't mind a chick with hairy armpits. I told him about the mesh to del permaculture, regenerative agriculture, our mesh to del homesteaders, and pleb minor engineers, how we're building sovereignty communities. So his generation's got a shot, and he doesn't have to marry a hairy Amish girl. We may save his generation from a razorless world yet, Max.
And he's eager to share his IT know how, and I'm teaching him practical shit that every man should know. When When we got back that day, we're pulling the mining container off my trailer, and he was fretting about the fenders on this thing toppling over. It was unloading it on a hill, and it started to kinda slide towards the one side of the trailer. It's a tilt bed trailer. And I'd let him try to figure things out. You know, he's like, man, we should pull from this end and this end. And I was like, okay. Yeah. I'll try it. And I pull forward a little bit in my truck. I mean, no. No. No. Stop. You know, we should do this. We should do this. And I was, like, considerate of how conscientious he was because I appreciated that he didn't want the truck or my trailer or the generator to get destroyed. So, you know, I was like, okay. Alright. Well, we'll try this. We'll try this. And finally, I just put a a couple four by fours on one side. So if it did hit that side, it was just gonna slide on the four by fours and got on the truck and gripped it and ripped it.
And afterwards, I told him, I said, see, sometimes you just gotta say fuck it and go. He's like, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No. You know? I I I understand what you mean now. Those young guys, they they can overthink themselves into a corner, but action, actually doing something gets it done. In general, I want him to take that away this summer. Resilience, confidence, the DIY punk ethos we often talk about on ungovernable misfits that says you can do it if you try, even if you fail a few times, and then fail a few times more. Just getting shit done. Not afraid to break a few eggs. That's the key. That's it, man. I think the young guys are really afraid of that. Mhmm. I think that generation, I I can definitely say, like, they're they're very cautious about stuff.
[00:51:10] Unknown:
Yeah. But you start, like, you either have that in you. Maybe it's a generational thing or, like, you have that in you. We're just, let's fucking go when you're young, and then you break shit. Well, that's, like, how I was. Over the years, I've broken so much shit and been so retarded
[00:51:28] Unknown:
that
[00:51:29] Unknown:
then I look at it. I'm like, oh, yeah. It's not the end of the world. Like, everything's fixable, so let's fucking go. Like, every you can fix as you go. It's not the end of the world. But if you've never if you're so worried about everything being perfect, you never move at all.
[00:51:43] Unknown:
Oh, yeah. A perfect being the enemy of good.
[00:51:46] Unknown:
Definitely. Yeah.
[00:51:48] Unknown:
See, he he's doing the same thing with the IT setup. You know, he's like, oh, well, you know, this building where your compressor is, it's got a different ground than the than the generators are gonna have their own ground. There's gonna be a difference of potential there, and that that's all very well and good to be thinking about. I mean, that that's great. I love the fact that he brought that kind of stuff up. And he's like, you know, oh, if you're using shielded Ethernet cable and I could carry the ground here, and I was like, listen. I'm digging a trench. I'm throwing in some conduit. I'm running Ethernet cable. They'll all be kind of tied on the same grid for grounding.
It's alright, man. It's okay. Everything will be alright. He sends me this wall of text, and I and I just looked at it, and I was like, that's pretty cool that he put that much time into doing all this research, and, like, he he really cares about getting this project built.
[00:52:33] Unknown:
Yeah. That was nice. He's putting in the work and he's conscientious and he cares about it, but he's not paying for it. And that's where it comes in, where you go, okay. I can spend double Mhmm. And I'll get the same results, and maybe my failure rate will be down by 10%. Okay. That doesn't add up. No.
[00:52:53] Unknown:
Yeah. I I said, buddy, if I was rich, I'd give you a credit card, and I'd say freaking go all out, but I'm not. And this is where I have been in successful in life is because I'm able, as my buddy Aaron says, fabricable things. I love that. Get it done. Get it yeah. I've always liked that one. So good. Eventually, said to him at one point, I said, I gotta lean on my strengths. I I thought you were gonna list all your strengths there. Oh, you ought to know them by now. Such a long list. It's hard to remember it all. We we gotta move on. We gotta move on. Your house is gonna descend into chaos here soon. I'm literally getting texts at the moment. So yeah. Alright. Sorry, dear. Ten more minutes.
[00:53:34] Unknown:
Honestly, getting them all out of the house today was a physical thing. Like, I had to physically pick everyone up and move them into the truck and open the gate. Fuck them off, like, literally out.
[00:53:50] Unknown:
Well, don't I feel special? And our listeners,
[00:53:53] Unknown:
what Max does for you. You're all very special.
[00:53:56] Unknown:
Let's move on to friendship. Special friendships. Mhmm. Being a friend means filling the voids in people's lives sometimes. Sarah and I have always opened up our hearts and our home to those who need it and deserve it. Years back, when our kids were younger, we spent a lot of time with a family with two kids whose dad had passed away and whose mom was grinding two jobs to pay the bills. In a way, we became a father and mother figure to them. For the boy, I was the one who taught him how to throw a football, a baseball, how to throw a punch. He's 19 now, but Sarah told me the other day that his mother still says what a positive role model I was for him and that he still talks about me, and that means a lot. And I've thought a lot about that over the past couple weeks, which that's another inspiration for writing this article.
[00:54:42] Unknown:
Chet turned out to be a very strong and kind young man. I think you've done a great job. Did a good job with Chetna. Yeah. You did. He's a lovely man. 19 years old.
[00:54:57] Unknown:
Friendships are built on trust like the social capital we build in the mesh to do. There's that social capital thing I keep talking about. I can't get over it. It's showing up with no strings attached to being the guy the others can lean on. When times get tough, as I often say, they will, those bonds are your safety net. That's why I'm part of the ungovernable misfits, plaid modern mafia, mesh to del, was to connect with all of you plebs who see through the veil, are doing something about it, and take solace and inspiration from a community who see the world as they do.
Fatherhood, on the other hand, is a very different from mentorship and friendship. I think that's obvious to those of us that have children. My girls aren't me. They're living their lives for the first time, and I can't project my own shit onto them. And I can't treat them like they're someone who I have mentored or have had a friendship type relationship. My job is to be their rock, to protect them, and make them feel safe in a world that's crumbling. Western civilization's fading, and they'll need to be resilient mentally and physically.
I give them speeches while we work on school stuff or correct their behavior, stacking functions to make the most of our time. I teach them independence by showing them how, then holding them accountable. It's a chore, the teaching, the letting go, the reminding, the reteaching, but it's my duty. I correct their mistakes, sometimes yell and huff, but always redirect them to the right path. I want them to grow into women who don't need me forever, and that's really hard to say. Like, that's a tough one. I want them to grow into women who don't need me forever, who can stand with their future husbands. When I see kids acting foolish or disrespectful, I don't know if you do this, Max, I don't sit quiet there like a cuck beta soccer dad I see fucking everywhere, especially, at summertime.
So we're gonna go to the pool all the time and see these cuck faggot fucking dads with Stanley Cups. Oh, I can't fucking stand I show up there in boots and work jeans and, you know, t shirt, pick the kids up. Cups. What are you talking about, manly cups? Stanley. Stanley cups. Oh. Oh, no. Don't slag off a no. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No.
[00:57:08] Unknown:
You can go fuck yourself. You can go fuck yourself. Do you know what I've got in my hand right now? A dildo. A Stanley cup. I've got a Stanley flask that I take everywhere with me, and it keeps my drink Stay hydrated. It keeps my drink lovely and cold no matter how hot it gets here in Scotland. Don't be a cunt.
[00:57:34] Unknown:
Okay. Odwalla cups.
[00:57:38] Unknown:
Do you know these cups? I don't know these cups. Odwalla.

No. Alright. Look it up. I mean, look at a real faggot cup guy with that one. Okay. Anyway, back to the article. Anyway, if I see a kid acting foolish, disrespectful, I step in. If a friend's kid is mouthing off to their mom, especially if the dad's not around, I'll hit him with one of them, AOs. Uh-uh. And that look. Mhmm. You know, the look you can give kids. Yeah. Yeah. It scares the shit out of them. Mhmm. They know they know what that look means. Yeah. That kind of dad gravitas gets the point across. Yeah. And moms appreciate it, and dads do too.
[00:58:20] Unknown:
Odd one is extremely gay, by the way. I've just looked at it. I'm glad you looked that up. Yeah. My Stanley's not. Like, it's, you know I'll send you a picture of it later. It's No. That's okay. Pretty manly.
[00:58:31] Unknown:
Yeah. Yeah. I'm pretty sure. If it's, you know, you have it, I'm sure it's real, you know, it's tough. It's tough. It's tough. Is it dented? Yeah. I've got yeah. I have children. Right. That's better. It's a little bit better. They know if their kids are with me, I'm an extension of that fatherly accountability. My buddy Thomas down the street here, the one I think I told you is from Denmark. My buddy Thomas does the same for my kids. It's like it's a way of life, a community pack that keeps the kids in line and teaches respect. Mhmm. That Thomas will yell at my kids in a fucking heartbeat. Thomas. Thomas.
Lucas. He don't fuck around that guy. He come Viking style, and then the kids beat him over with a head with a battle axe. Love it. As I stated earlier, the guy who's working with me this summer was raised by a good man, my buddy, Robbie g. He's a good man, and therefore, his son is a good man. And that isn't always the case, of course, but it's a lesson we can all learn in mothers and fathers. Parenting doesn't have to be any more complicated than giving your children the example of a good man or a good one. But we're still punk.
Punk and hardcore days shaped me as referenced in our don't forget the struggle, don't forget the street article on ungovernablemisfits.com. Clothing is back on the store. Buy some after you catch up on our articles.
[00:59:57] Unknown:
Buy it slowly though, because we've almost run out.
[01:00:00] Unknown:
Wow. That was fast.
[01:00:02] Unknown:
Yeah. The new printer wrote to me. He was like, woah. You weren't fucking kidding. And I was like, no. I did tell you. Yeah.
[01:00:10] Unknown:
Are you ready for this? Yeah. That DIY ethos wasn't about no responsibility. That's not what punk meant at all. No cares, no responsibility at all. To me, it was about hard work, failure and trying again. You can't DIY without skills, resilience, confident. I hate being told what to do. I think that was the the real start of my punk either. They still fucking hate being told what to do. So I outworked everyone in the Marine Corps. Everyone, wherever I was, I would outwork them so I could call my own shots,
[01:00:46] Unknown:
and that's what I wanna pass on. Did you sort of have the thing? I I have it still now, but, like, it just doesn't really happen in my life anymore. But when I was a kid, someone literally told me what to do, like a direct Mhmm. Go and pick that up and put it over there. Something like that. Like a direct you do that. I couldn't do it. Like and it wouldn't actually matter what the consequences were. It's like detention for a week. I'd be like, you're paying for it now, aren't you, buddy? Yeah. They they'd, like, do all that. Yeah. Oh, how about a month? I'm like, how about a fucking year? I'm not doing it. Yeah. It was very dumb.
Very dumb. And then I had smart friends that would pretend or, like, I'm telling you, you need to do this. Do you understand? And, like, I'm like, no. I don't understand. It's dumb. Whereas the smart ones would go, yes, sir. I understand. And then they go and do the same fucking shit straight away anyway. That was that was a smart move, but nope.
[01:01:45] Unknown:
I think it's good advice. If you're like us and, like, a blood rage comes over your face when somebody tells you what to do Yep. Work hard. Work very hard. Yeah. And so when you run into kids or young people that are like that, it says to him, the only solution really is for you to work your fucking ass off. Mhmm. So there isn't somebody to tell you what to do. Yeah. Other than yourself. And I think that's punk. Mhmm. And that Ungovernable Misfits Meshed Out, played Modern Mafia, I see this punk ethos in action. That's us. That's you guys, building communities that'll outlast the current epoch of civilization.
It's our duty. It's your duty to bring that next generation along. So mentor someone, be a friend, raise your kids with grit and love. And as always, tune in to Ungovernable Misfits, the Confab, Monero Monthly, The Bitcoin Brief, Action News, and PMM. Ask for an invite to the or Pleb Miner Mafia where we say good morning like we're neighbors. Talk pleb mining, parenting, permaculture sovereignty, real shit for real plebs and not PodConf's version of real plebs. Register trademark. Take what you hear and read and have discussed with others and apply it to your family, your community. Mentor a future that's ungovernable and unbreakable.
Okay? Go ahead.
[01:03:09] Unknown:
Go right now. Yeah. Go do it. Stay ungovernable. Become ungovernable if you aren't already, and then stay ungovernable.
[01:03:17] Unknown:
And don't LARP, or maybe LARP until you're not LARPing.
[01:03:21] Unknown:
Yeah. That's a good that's good advice.
[01:03:23] Unknown:
That's the, our version of fake it till you make it. Yeah.
[01:03:29] Unknown:
Good show, mate. We're excellent. Yeah.
[01:03:34] Unknown:
It was a bit rushed, but we're still good. Yeah. It wasn't bad. It's alright. We didn't get to hear so much about your shitting.
[01:03:42] Unknown:
No. It's it's awful, though, but I've lost a lot of weight, and I'm looking better and, feeling healthier. Oh, I crave some sugar. I crave some alcohol, I'll be honest. Mhmm.
[01:03:52] Unknown:
Or do I crave it? Just not, like, let down at night. Oh, okay. Sit down and have a drink. Yeah. Just
[01:03:59] Unknown:
but no. Nothing. Nothing. Good for you, buddy. Before we jump off Mhmm. Did you tune in to the Bugle Boys event?
[01:04:09] Unknown:
And if so, how did it go? I didn't notice that it was live streamed. I tuned in to their day before. Mhmm. They were at somebody else's event, and Rod and Greaser and Fundamentals were, talking to some folks. And, man, I I just Rod especially, I think Rod could be, like, the next Larry King or Howard Stern. He he's just a really good interviewer. He has this way of just keeping things going when there's uncomfortable pauses. He always has something to say. I I just was really impressed with Rod's skills on the microphone very much so. Mhmm.
He's very intelligent.
[01:04:45] Unknown:
They both are.
[01:04:46] Unknown:
Impersonable. No. I wasn't taking anything away from Greaser. Greaser, listen. Don't let him put you down.
[01:04:52] Unknown:
I know he slags you off all the time and holds you a cunt, all that sort of stuff. But No. I don't. Oh, I think it might be the first cunt of the show. Oh, really?
[01:05:00] Unknown:
Yeah. There weren't any in the boosts. Okay.
[01:05:04] Unknown:
Oh, yeah. That's true. Cock a few times. That's usually true. True. Come come come come come come come.
[01:05:09] Unknown:
Get it in.
[01:05:11] Unknown:
Right. Anything else?
[01:05:13] Unknown:
That's it, buddy. I'm just gonna roll with the, outro music. I think you'll like this song. It'll pump you back up. Sometimes we end the show, like, a little. Here's a special message for all of you guys. Fuck that. Rip it off. Grip it. Rip it. Let's fucking go. Get out there and get some work done. Peter finally showed up.
[01:05:50] Unknown:
Lobby's fun.
Alright. We're gonna jump right into it. Another episode of PMM. Pleb minor and Meshed Adele, Pleb minor mafia, whatever p's and m's you feel are appropriate to the show. What are you feeling?
[00:00:14] Unknown:
Man to man, all honesty? Yeah. Empty. Woah.
[00:00:19] Unknown:
When you said that, thunder went off in the distance.
[00:00:24] Unknown:
Thunder's just gone off in my bathroom. It's day 10 of like, extreme carnivore diet.
[00:00:31] Unknown:
Well, I'm sorry that that this happened to you. You know, you wanna make fat jokes about me all the time on your different shows and on Twitter. Hey. Mhmm. I don't feel bad for you. I'm fine. Okay. Stomach's in good shape.
[00:00:47] Unknown:
Other than being empty, I'm very good. Thank you, mate. How are you? Oh, I didn't even ask how you were. I asked what the p's and m's meant to you. But since you asked, I'm fine. Oh, you said you did. You asked how how you said how are you feeling? I don't think so. That's what you said. Check the tape. What are you feeling? What are you feeling?
[00:01:04] Unknown:
What are you feeling? Yeah. Check the tapes. I'm pretty sure you did. Alright. We gotta get right into it. Introducing the show. I I picked some music here. I've been into this guy, Ed Trader's Music Beat. Have you ever heard this guy? Mm-mm. Well, you're about to. Like a dilly. Get hyped for the show.
[00:01:51] Unknown:
Thunder in the backpack.
[00:02:05] Unknown:
I imagine this is what he sounded like when you were in the bathroom. He was screaming. So he was
[00:02:51] Unknown:
Oh, yeah. You fucking wacko. Yeah. It was like drinking every night like an absolute cunt, not sleeping at all and eating anything I possibly wanted, straight into zero alcohol, training every day. All I'm eating is beef, eggs, air, water, black coffee. At the end of the list? Oh, you
[00:03:13] Unknown:
you eat me all day.
[00:03:18] Unknown:
Nobody wants that.
[00:03:20] Unknown:
Hey. I I really enjoyed your, your confab episode with Kerim. Well, it's not released yet, is it? Yeah. But it will be released, so we're playing with time here. You know? I get the Oh, it will be by the time this goes live. I get first dibs at listening to things. Manipulate time. Not a regular guy. I'm on the inside. Yeah. So I've I've already started TRT and, totally jacked.
[00:03:43] Unknown:
Yep. Really?
[00:03:45] Unknown:
Yeah. That's all it took. In that one day period? I was just on the edge. Incredible. Mhmm. Wow. You just looked at a white stream. That's all it took to recapture my form.
[00:03:57] Unknown:
You get that, mate. I think there was some top tier tips in there.
[00:04:01] Unknown:
There were top tier tips. Yeah. I mean, as far as the keto stuff, aren't you know, I knew all that, but then when he got into the chemistry, then I put my earphones on, really listened intently. Mhmm. We'll see. I've got a good friend that started TRT, like, six months ago, and he's like, oh, I'd I'd never go back. Yeah. I hear that a lot. Karen's been doing this for years Mhmm. And, like, gone deep into it also. I think the guy knows what he's talking about. I'll say. Yeah. He at least bullshitted enough to fill up an hour and and something with with all that information. Yeah. For a degen Mhmm. Drug loving fucking weirdo, he's actually quite smart. He is quite smart. You know, I've gotten to know him a little bit better, over the past few months, and and really like him. Yeah. He knows some stuff. We we were saying in the the ungoverned Willows Fitz chat, if I'm a father figure to you and Q, then he's just, like, the weird uncle.
Yeah. That's quite fitting. It works. Alright. We've got an episode of PMM to do, and we only have two topics here. They are an article by our good friend Charles Francois Bienvenue Muriel titled The Revolution for Your Mind. That's right. He's back. What a legend. He's gonna give us plenty of fodder to talk about. Then we'll just move right on to an article that I wrote about mentorship and friendship and fatherhood and just being a good man, and and that essence of being a good man just emanates to all things around you and everything that you touch. Like it. We'll see if you like it. I know I will. Up first, let's read some boosts. That way we can get right into the show. Max, you're up first. Late stage Huddle with 15,000
[00:05:37] Unknown:
sats. I'm really looking forward to hearing John's rendition of I've Been Everywhere. I've been everywhere, man. Very nice. For all the possible places where Max lives now Oh, we should do that. I retract my entry into the giveaway. I was looking for a clamp on multimeter, not one of Max's u strap on multi dildos. Oops. Already in the mail. Shit. Note that was the best rooster impression I've ever heard. Really spot on, mate. But I didn't have any carefully selected quotes for this boost. I'll be sure to provide citations next time. I hear one.
Thanks for making me laugh and also for providing signal through the noise. You're welcome. Hope to see you all at Lake Satoshi. I'll be the f f c.
[00:06:35] Unknown:
Alright. Yeah. I've I've heard that about late stage Hottle. He's a big boy. We had to send him special edition shirts and hoodies. Yeah. Yeah? Is he? He had special requests, especially the the boulder boosters.
[00:06:47] Unknown:
Yeah. We did. Yeah. That's right. Jordan made that. To message the, sweatshop employees and say,
[00:06:54] Unknown:
bigger, bigger, more, more, more. You gotta work all the time. We got bigger American boy. Gotta make shit for. That's what it sounds like in our sweatshop.
[00:07:01] Unknown:
What's that song? Give me
[00:07:03] Unknown:
more more more. What's that song? Billy Idol, rebel yell. That's what the rebels yelled in the sweatshop. More more more in Chinese. More more more. More material. We run out. Thanks, late stage huddle. Always our top booster. It's interesting. We've been doing this show for so long. We're, like, 15,000 sats back in the day. Been like, what are you? Throwing peanuts at us? Get out of here. That's pretty good. We'll take it now.
[00:07:31] Unknown:
It's big time. Yeah. Thank you very much. Next up is Bubba.
[00:07:34] Unknown:
Another great show in the books. Boys listened while traversing the Rocky Mountains with a half cow on ice in the back. Got it from Jason Weryk at Weryk Ranch in Crawford, Colorado. Paid in Bitcoin. So I think I did it right. What a beautiful ranch in the mountains. Hey, John. Since you're Max's dad, if you want, I'll be yours. Oh, thanks, buddy. So, hey, son. Oh. Get me a fucking beer. Nice. I wanna tell you something. Keep me in mind. I'm available. And, Max, chickens are easy as they eat anything, which is true. And if there is a slow day with eggs, you can go do what I do with ours. I whisper sweet as I can to them. Bitches, I'm gonna like eating you. It works every time. Oh, fuck off until next time.
Alright. We will.
[00:08:24] Unknown:
That's a great tip. Top tier tip. Chet, l m f a o. Are we planning a game of where in the world is Maxi San Salvador, question mark, question mark, question mark. Costa Rica, Guatemala? Where in the world? You old motherfuckers, l m f a o. I'm tiring of this Bitcoin life I long for. I think we all are, buddy. I feel you, mate.
[00:08:53] Unknown:
Then Chet, you're really going to like Charles Francois, Bienvenue, Muriel's article in this edition of PMM. I think everybody's gonna like it. Next up is Jordan boosting from the fountain desktop. Oscar and team have done some more enhancements on the mobile and desktop experience. Very cool. Also, I really enjoyed the two topics at the docket. Great evergreen value. Thanks, boys. You're welcome, sir, and thank you for all that you've done. Thank you. By the way, I just want to mention, usually, our boosts are compiled and provided by Jordan, but this time, expatriotic took over that duty. So thank you, sir. Yeah. Thank you, mate. Next up is time sloth slash stack jaro.
There were two of the same boost. So same guy boosting from two different applications. I don't know. Mhmm. It's too much. Lightning, dude. Fucking sex, dude. Sat for sack, which is more efficient? The eggs from your own chickens when you sell the extra eggs or bit axes with the $13.70 chips mining on an FPPS or similar payout non solo mining? Pool. Eggs. The eggs. Egg miners every time. Yeah. Especially when you can trade them for things like sourdough like we do.
[00:09:59] Unknown:
Delicious.
[00:10:00] Unknown:
Yeah. Oh, I love sourdough. Ever tried homemade Yes. I have. I did my whole starter and and everything, and it was giant pain in the ass. And then our friend makes really great sourdough, so that just makes sense. I can feed chickens. Okay. She can make sourdough, and she's a chiropractor.
[00:10:16] Unknown:
That's a collaborative transaction.
[00:10:19] Unknown:
It is. There's a whole collaboration going on there. Sarah brings over eggs to their house to cut their family's hair and do their hair, and then she comes back with sourdough and a chiropractic adjustment.
[00:10:31] Unknown:
Do you ever, like, watch the chiropractic adjustments, like, videos of it? Mhmm. I think I like a towel and No. I don't like those ones. I don't like the ones where they pull the neck. I like the ones where they sort of, like, look like they're putting someone in a choke hold, and then they do, like, the sideways neck one, and it's like, and I'm like, oh, god.
[00:10:53] Unknown:
It's making me wanna puke. It's fucking amazing. You need that right now. Yeah. I do. I do. Have you ever seen a chiropractor? Have I? Yeah. I have seen a chiropractor. Yeah. So good, isn't it? They say, my god. You're a fucking mess. What do you do? Yeah.
[00:11:08] Unknown:
Like, what don't I do? Sorry.
[00:11:12] Unknown:
Alright. Let's get moving. Next up on boost is Henry. Don't get bad brains from listening to bad brains. That's good advice. Mhmm. Wire stuff, ground yourself, and inverse square law of the rest. Everything has an electrical component to it, the soil, plants, bacteria, and people, and even biochar, which you should be putting in your chicken coop. I'd love to do biochar stuff. I I've watched lots of biochar videos, you know, maybe someday. Biochar dunked in Bokashi and fed to chooks, I assume chooks, will increase the quality and color, oh, this guy's a European, said color, of your eggs. That only cost £2 here, and where the fuck are you paying $4.50? Could you only source eggs by driving to Belgravia in your Tesla?
[00:12:01] Unknown:
That's fair. No. I used to, it's just as bad. I used to go to Waitrose in the, Tesla or a truck, either one. Oh, it it's posh. Yeah. And then I would get Burford Browns, they were called. Eggs for rich suckers. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And they always had, like, that really rich, like, orange sunset orange yolks rather than all the others would have, like, whitey yellowy, like, very light colored shit. And I just really enjoyed them. And they were more money, but I was just like, sometimes you gotta live a little.
[00:12:32] Unknown:
Hey. Whatever makes you happy. When you eat so few things, a good egg really means something.
[00:12:38] Unknown:
Yeah. Exactly.
[00:12:39] Unknown:
I've heard they put marigolds. They give them marigolds, and that that makes that color. Really? Mhmm. Yeah. Marigolds.
[00:12:47] Unknown:
What? The gloves that you use for washing up or disposing of bodies? No. The flower.
[00:12:52] Unknown:
The flower. Oh. The marigold. The flower. Yeah. Do you call the gloves marigolds over there?
[00:12:57] Unknown:
No. We're not gay. They're all they're always yellow. They're always that color, and they're called marigolds.
[00:13:03] Unknown:
Oh, alright. They're not always That's a bit gay. You know who would think that was gay would be Pies.
[00:13:12] Unknown:
Pies says, John, you're an OG like me. You always do your workouts in marigolds. I'm old and beat up, but still work circles around young bucks and hit the gym for prison yard workouts four days a week. I can barely stand up and walk, but we're warriors. We carry on and go at it.
[00:13:36] Unknown:
No. You never forget the warriors. That's something, Karim said too. He's like, you know, my shoulder is so fucked up. Oh my god. Just just keep going.
[00:13:45] Unknown:
It is the most disgusting thing I've ever seen. I'm just like, what the fuck? How are you still functioning with your shoulder like that? It is proper fucked.
[00:13:54] Unknown:
Yeah. But he carries on. Just inject some what is it? Like, Wolverine juice, he said, something like that. Yeah. Pretty much. War time says
[00:14:02] Unknown:
explosion explosion in my pants. Oh, yeah. Zaker boy,
[00:14:07] Unknown:
a bit of normality question mark. Not him, mate. I don't want I don't think so. I think far from I don't I don't recall on that episode titled No. Off if there was any, normality involved. No. Up next is our article.
[00:14:23] Unknown:
Chooks, by the way. Sorry, mate. No. Please. Delay the show. No. I will. Chooks, I've heard a few people in The UK say that before for chickens. So Okay. I don't think that's like he's miss misspelled it. It's just like people call them chooks. Okay. Chooks it is. And some people go northern, more northern, be like, alright, Chuck. Right. You're right, mate. Like, you're right, chicken.
[00:14:46] Unknown:
Okay. I like that. I like it better than mate. Everyone else overuses mate. Even the Europeans will say mate all the time. Even Canadians do it. Get out of here with this, mate. Canadians obviously took it from us, but everyone says mate. They did. Yeah. But I prefer it to bro.
[00:15:02] Unknown:
I don't say bro. I say brother. Oh, brother's okay. It's a bit bit more old school, a bit more biker gang kind of gay sort of thing, but it's it's not bro.
[00:15:12] Unknown:
You know what I mean? Like, handlebar mustache handlebar mustache kind of stuff. Hey. I actually don't have one of those. I I trimmed my beard up for the summer. Oh, very nice. I feel nude.
[00:15:22] Unknown:
Okay. Come on. Let's get on with the show. Fucking out. Oh, okay. I'm getting ready. Look at my
[00:15:27] Unknown:
This, article is titled The Revolution for Your Mind by Charles Francois Bienvenue, Muriel. And he's got a quote from a very wise man. It says, stay punk, never sell out, and be an inspiration to others, or else they'll sell out or never even be punk in the first place. I hope this message lights a fire in all of your collective asses to never forget the struggle that brought you here. Sounds guy. Remember the blood, sweat, and raw determination that shaped who you are and why you got involved in ungovernable misfits in the first place. So a wise old man once said that in an article titled, don't forget the struggle, don't forget the streets.
What a great way to start off an article. My man. That's my dude. He's like a little brother to me. That was your best work, by the way. Thank you very much. I thought Atlas mind. I've been reposting Atlas mind a lot lately not to get into mining Mhmm. Too much just because of the abject cookery and defeatist feminine attitude. No. It's okay to lose money. I'm doing it for the for the revolution, man. Mhmm. Stop it. Shut up. Said everybody yesterday in blood miner math. He had Telegram group. Atlas mind should be required reading for everybody in this group. Mhmm. Charles goes on to say, the Bitcoin subculture is dying.
It was always destined to die. If Bitcoin were to become relevant and dominant global currency, it meant that it would inevitably morph into the mainstream culture. The idea would somehow fix mainstream culture is rather silly and naive. We find ourselves facing a tremendous amount of conflict because those who follow mainstream culture are unwilling or incapable of coming to grips with reality. The expectation that they would have their minds changed by Bitcoin podcasters, books outlining the history of money, and influencers wielding ref links is silly. That doesn't mean that Bitcoin's subculture has not had an impact on larger society.
It doesn't mean that all the energy and excitement around Bitcoin was a waste of energy. But in the larger conversation, the cypherpunk ideals that many of us strongly believe in will likely never be adopted by the masses. That is because the masses do not value self respect, thinking for themselves, and human dignity. Many of them have been sold the promise of convenience, comfort, and safety. Most revolutionary movements are based on a collectivist set of ideals which are destined to fail. Michael Malice outlines this in masterful detail in his book, the white pill. The book details the history of how idealists such as Emma Goldman, aligned with the Bolsheviks in order to topple the czar, only to find that they had helped enable a monster to take power that was a thousand times worse than the system they had fought to replace.
In the West, the history of the Bolshevik revolution is rather fuzzy for some reason. Not only does the majority of historical discussion fail to mention the absolute carnage wrought by the Soviets, but it also fails to mention the good intentioned idealist who aligned with the Bolsheviks during the revolution. The Kronstadt rebellion of nineteen twenty one is the perfect example of this. Russian sailors who had fought on the side of the Red Army for the ideals of empowering the working man staged a protest as they saw the writing on the wall. They demanded elections, a restoration of civil rights, and more representation from other groups such as the anarchists and socialists in government.
The Soviets' response to their protest was to slaughter them with artillery. What started as a revolution based on the ideals of equality for the worker turned into one of the most oppressive and tyrannical forms of human organization ever created. This story is an important one for dissident groups to understand for multiple reasons. The first is the danger of disrupting existing power structures as the new one replacing it could and often does turn out to be significantly more destructive. The second is that no tyrannical power structure can last indefinitely because the human spirit cannot withstand it.
To be successful as a revolutionary, you have to be ruthless, which many of us aren't. I'll speak for myself here. I'm not a murderer. I'm not willing to kill in order to further my political aspirations. I'm not willing to lie, cheat, and steal in order to conquer others. I'm appalled by those who do things and work to build my life in a way where I work as little with individuals like that as possible. If you are like me, that puts us at a serious disadvantage compared to those whose goal is to conquer the masses into believing our worldview. I'm not a pacifist, and I am willing to kill in self defense.
I hope that never happens, but that is different than the belligerents who actively go on the attack in order to accomplish their goals. Framing things in terms of revolution is not helpful for peaceful and sane individuals. Many of us may become revolutionaries if the circumstances get dangerous enough. Though I would argue that we are not there yet, though we still do live under many forms of tyranny. We may not be revolutionaries yet find ourselves in conflict with mainstream culture, the institutions that dominate it, and often the state. There is something innate with us that cannot comply with the societal norms being force fed down our throats. We want to produce things of value, not focus on the nuances of microaggressions.
We want to build a legacy, not focus on the intricacies of compliance. The idea of a revolution has been made seen as sexy in pop culture, but the reality is that a real revolution requires the individuals participating in it to often go to dark places. As dark and depraved as the people they are fighting against, there is a likely chance of not living to see the end of it and facing immense amounts of danger. What many people opt in for instead are societal movements LARPing as being a revolution because it's safe. It can be cathartic to LARP with others who are also frustrated with what's going on, but LARPing will likely do very little to change anything as we are watching happen now with a good portion of the ecosystem interacting with Bitcoin. I just wanna pause on that one for a little bit. That whole LARPing revolutionary thing feeling cathartic.
Man, that that one really hit when I read it the first time. Yeah. There is certainly a lot of that going on. Are we part of it? I feel like in some ways, we are. Some some ways. Yeah. I thought about it. I took a little introspection there Yeah. To make sure I'm not full of shit. Sometimes I am. Sometimes I'm larping. Mhmm. But most of the time, I'm working as hard as I can to increase the sovereignty and resilience of my family and my community around me. In my heart, that's what I think I'm doing. I think that's where the larp is. Some people
[00:22:27] Unknown:
will act as though by just holding Bitcoin, they're changing the world and, like, fighting all these things that they have an issue with. Mhmm. Is not really truthful. Like, if someone's honest with themselves, but if you're honest with yourself and you say, I'm trying to improve my life and my family's life and give ourselves as much freedom as I can, that's probably a bit closer to the mark and a bit more fair. It works for me. Yeah. It's not a cope, I don't think. I don't think so. I I used to have this theory. I'm just gonna hold as much Bitcoin for as long as I can and never let it go to banks or the cunts who fucked up the original system, and I'm gonna try and accumulate more and spend less.
And if that means, like, suffering and not having the things that I need, then that's gonna be worth it in the end.
[00:23:16] Unknown:
And you did. You suffered for years.
[00:23:19] Unknown:
Yeah. I I mean, not like really suffered. It's like, you know, first world suffering really, isn't it? But, like Okay. But you could have had a different life the past few years, and you you chose not to go down that path. Oh, yeah. For sure. But I I think the thing is I used to think that by doing that, I'm gonna change the world. And I think just over time, I've realized, like, no. That's not gonna change the world. Also, that matters less to me than what's immediately important in front of me. Like, my immediate family, having food on their table, getting an education, having the things that they need, like, getting to spend time with them.
Like, that's more immediately important, and I think a lot of that also is because when I look around at the people that I'm supposed to be standing shoulder to shoulder with who are this, like, Bitcoin movement Mhmm. If I compare them today to who I was shoulder to shoulder with five, six, seven, eight years ago, it's totally fucking different. And, like Yeah. I would not wanna go to battle with these fucking retards. No. These motherfuckers are soft. Yeah. So my confidence in the whole movement is nowhere near as strong as it was previously,
[00:24:32] Unknown:
and that then affects how I move through life, my ideas on Bitcoin and other stuff. K. Bitcoin isn't gonna save us. You gotta save yourself. Absolutely. I would say this caveat. Perhaps the people that you are shoulder to shoulder with now are more worth being shoulder to shoulder with, and you're far closer to them than you were with people who you didn't know personally
[00:24:53] Unknown:
Yes. But may have more idealistic things in common with each other. Yeah. I was speaking to Ben about this the other day, and we've just what we're saying for a while, but it's like this whole thing of Bitcoiners get each other and Bitcoiners are like Mhmm. Have this different worldview and, like, they're tougher and they're the people, like, I wanna have as part of my life and blah blah blah. It's like, nah. That's gone. Just being a Bitcoiner means absolutely nothing now. Nothing. Like, don't come to me like, yeah. I'm a Bitcoiner man. I'm one of you. It's like, no. You're not. Like, you gotta prove that you're something else. You're not just a lump in cunt, which is 90% of people. I think that's why a lot of people see ungovernable misfits as, like, the next next level podcast,
[00:25:38] Unknown:
you know, organization to be involved with. There's there's really nothing entry level about about the the Ungovernable Misfits organization.
[00:25:46] Unknown:
No. You have to be a special type of retard to be Yeah. Listening to this. Sure. You gotta be super super special retard to be to be in it. Just know if you're listening to this. You're very special. You're one of the real ones. Yeah. You really are. And I don't think we get a lot of, like, transient listeners. This is a really dedicated group of people Yeah. That we are privileged to be friends with. Yeah. Definitely. It's pretty niche, but it's extremely tight knit. And, like, even just today, like, someone who's in one of our groups and, like, I went docs and stuff that we were talking about the other day, and I've been back and forth with them. You'll know who you are. Just being able to reach out to some of these people who've been listeners for a long time and just have that instant, like, level of connection and trust Mhmm. Is pretty fucking awesome. So when I say most of this is a larp, I exclude
[00:26:40] Unknown:
the groups who we interact with. Like, that's Most of them are a larp. Yeah. Not us. They. But sometimes sometimes maybe I feel larpy.
[00:26:49] Unknown:
She, they, thems. He's gross.
[00:26:52] Unknown:
Let's finish up with Charles Francois. Public perception is a mirage that is constantly getting manipulated by individuals who have incentives to try and lead the public in a certain direction. That is why it's important to mostly discard what the masses think. Much of their opinions are informed by news anchors, journalists, writers, statists, pundits, and philosophers who spew nonsensical garbage meant to elicit some sort of behavioral change, Whether it is to vote a certain way, behave a certain way, or purchase a product, most of the information presented to people by propagandists is not meant to empower the individual.
In today's world, it is not a revolutionary action to join a social movement, use a certain technology, hate the shit coins, run a bit ax, buy a hardware wallet, or lobby a politician. Unless you have been able to achieve meaningful progress in your own life for the better, Becoming more confident in yourself and your abilities, you have not made any progress. The most effective thing you can do to create positive change in your life and the world around you is to utilize your own brain. That action may lead you to buying a hardware wallet, foundation devices, of course. Use code ungovernable. But it is important to understand the order the order of operations here.
Achievements of your happiness is the only moral purpose of your life, and that happiness, not pain or mindless self indulgence, is the proof of your moral integrity since it is the proof and the result of your loyalty to the achievement of your values, Ayn Rand. To fix the symptoms, you have to first understand the malady. There has been a social movement that was created on the premise that if we fix the money, we will fix the world. Now we watch as many of the podcasters, conference speakers, and authors that preach this concept to us are beginning to marry the establishment that they once railed against.
Bitcoin is being adopted by governments and politicians. It is being accepted by the banks, by the biggest corporations in the world, and it seems to be fixing very little. Privacy abuses by governments and corporations are only increasing. Taxation continues to be just as sinister as ever. Market manipulation due to central planners appears to only be accelerating. The social movement that appeared to have the most chance at disrupting all of this appears to be disappearing and morphing into the system that many of us had fought to replace. If there is any chance that Bitcoin will have a positive impact on the world, it is not strictly because of its innate qualities.
For Bitcoin to have a positive impact on the world, it must work to empower individuals with decency and self respect. Those individuals need to be active participates in their own lives, thinking critically about what is truly best for them and utilizing Bitcoin as a vehicle in order to be able to pursue the things they value. My philosophy is that tyranny is impossible when individuals value themselves enough to use their own minds and are willing to fight to protect the right to do so. Bitcoin is an interesting technology because in many ways, it enables the ability to do that. The sad reality is that tyranny exists because the majority of people in our society do not value their minds.
They value safety, compliance, and comfort. The choice of safety overthinking is why we are facing hard times, and it will likely only get harder. It can be discouraging when you look at the world around you. You see problems that seem self evident, but your peers fail to understand either due to ignorance or apathy. You may feel isolated and alone and likely will continue to as long as you have the benefit that your duty is to change others' minds. The information industrial complex wants people to focus entirely on things that they have no power over. The TV attempts to get people upset at everything outside of what is in their immediate control. Change fails to happen because individuals are so hyper focused on everything except for themselves.
You have the opportunity to change yourself despite what everyone around you is doing. Just because the general society is sick and has low self esteem does not mean that you also have to have. When you change yourself and live with self respect, you become an example for others. So much of our culture is dominated by hollow influencers trying to influence how people think. They are often either blatantly full of shit or exposed as being charlatans eventually. The goal of personal growth should not be for the purpose of trying to change other people or changing the world. It should be because you actually value yourself.
To think for yourself in modern society is a revolutionary act. It can be difficult and in many ways dangerous. Freedom is never safe. As we watch the Bitcoin subculture shift and morph into pop culture, it does not mean that we have to shift and morph with it. We will find each other, and together, we will build the world that we want to pass down to our children.
[00:32:07] Unknown:
He really is such a great writer.
[00:32:09] Unknown:
He really is. Yeah.
[00:32:12] Unknown:
Also true. I like that last bit as well. Like, that we'll all find each other. We'd have to move with what's turning into pop culture. Yeah. Because it definitely feels like that. Greaser and that lot will be very upset with what I'm saying here, but I haven't tuned into a single podcast in about ten weeks.
[00:32:33] Unknown:
Wow.
[00:32:34] Unknown:
Yeah. I just I just can't do it anymore. I just can't. What have you been listening to? The birds. That's nice. Yeah. That's a nice answer. Yeah. I've just tuned out of, like, at certain shows that I would check-in on and updates here and I'd listen in or there's an update over there or there's this thing going on. Since moving so a little bit before moving because I was just so busy, I was just like, no. My brain's too busy. I've got too much going on. No. I just no. A lot of the shows that I used to listen to just aren't what they used to be. The whole, like, culture around it and comments I see and messages on Twitter and everything, I'm just, like, disgusted by, and I'm just, like, no.
I listen to the birds.
[00:33:19] Unknown:
Birds are government drones. So much of their conversation is guided by their sponsors. Oh, yeah. That's the great thing about our sponsors, and I'll not so grossly pivot to alter tech.io. But there's never any input from our sponsors on what we should be talking about, not even their products. Nope. They sponsor the show because they appreciate our message.
[00:33:42] Unknown:
Yeah. I I would say with one caveat is that I have to let q and a on the show every couple of weeks, and that is a burden. It's kinda gross. It is it is a burden. But, you know, you you spend enough time with it, and you start to not like it, but accept it.
[00:34:03] Unknown:
It's like having a gay son. You know? You don't like it. Yeah. But you you learn to live with it. I didn't just call q my gay son, by the way. I see now people's wheels are turning.
[00:34:17] Unknown:
Yeah. Yeah. That's the only input, and that is a nice spot to be in, a very nice spot to be in. But there's just not many out there. Like, I can see the draw. I can see some of the ones that have done it and, like, they're like, they've worked out this Bitcoin thing and number does go up even if we don't like the way that people talk about it and focus on that rather than other things, but you can see the draw, can't you? Mhmm. Especially when life changes come and it's like, oh, fucking hell. Life's quite expensive now. You can see it, but fuck that. We do things differently. We do. Well, thank you, Francois. We appreciate you. Mhmm. We do things differently. Our sponsor, Altairtech.io,
[00:34:58] Unknown:
does things differently as well. A lot of the minor gear salesman just focus on trying to get you some let me find some used machines somewhere. I'm going to palletize them up and ship them off to you and sell them in a lot and hope that not too many of them are broken. Yeah. Or I'm going to happen to, you know, have some coupons for Bitmain, and I'm gonna get them shipped over here, and I'm gonna pass the duties onto you later on.
[00:35:25] Unknown:
Mhmm.
[00:35:26] Unknown:
AlterTech doesn't operate that way. All the duties are paid for. Everything ships from Missouri. Nobody knocking on your door saying, hey. This is actually gonna cost this much because we valued the miner as x, and you have to pay import fees. And Mhmm. Now there's different tariffs that you have to keep track of, and you're responsible for that. AlterTech doesn't do that. Everything ships from Missouri doesn't just sell I received them for Bitmain, and then I ship them off to you. He'll modify these machines for the home miner. He cares about the home miner. If you want to run a bit axe, great. He's got you covered. If you wanna get in some larger scale mining, he has you covered too. You wanna fiddle around with Loki rig stuff? Yep. Got that. Control boards? Got that. Pretty soon, I think this was announced, so I'm gonna say it. And if I'm wrong, sorry, barn. Sorry, Avril.
But they're going to be having their own firmware here soon. The Epic UMC boys have them white label their firmware. So pretty soon, Altair will be offering his own version of the Epic UMC firmware, which I like very much. It's smooth. It's easy to scale them up and down. They come up quickly and tune very, very quickly in comparison to some other firmwares. If you reboot these machines, it takes a long time to tune those chips and get it to the hash rate that you have it set up. The Epic UMC is not like that at all. You reboot the machine, you stop mining, you start it back up. It's pretty much at the hash rate or the power usage that you want it to be very quickly. When you wanna change fan speed, boom, little slider there, 75%, fifty %, hundred %. You can hear it scale up almost immediately. It's very responsive firmware. I like it a lot. And it's pretty neat that Avril has a great relationship with the EPIC UMC people, and they've allowed him to use that firmware.

Can you pay in Teva?
[00:37:19] Unknown:
No. He accepts Bitcoin, which you get a discount if you buy his gear in Bitcoin because he wants that corn. He want that fucking corn. I don't even think a motherfucker makes money. He just want that corn.
[00:37:34] Unknown:
He loves it. What about bond? The corn, dude. Lightning. That's I don't fucking have anything, dude. I don't fucking have any corn left. Going to fucking conferences, going to this fucking shit coin conference, going to fucking Nashville, dude, and then driving up and going to every I don't know if I can have anything left. Never should fucking start at mining, dude.

Let's pump things up with a double ad read. A little bit of Lake Satoshi. I just want everybody to picture in their minds getting on your motorcycle, your Honda Gold Wing, getting on a plane, flying north to Michigan, getting in the family truckster,
[00:38:29] Unknown:
driving west. Took a look down a westbound road, right away I may not
[00:38:34] Unknown:
You're on your way to Langsburg, Michigan. You're on the rear to Lake Satoshi. Headed out to my big two wheeler. I was tired of my own roll. You're gonna see some friends there. Just now. As you roll up that dusty road to Lake Satoshi, see those smiling faces, thinking there's some good food cooking out on the grill already for you. Yeah. From Mike from Bitcoin101.IO. Just smiling, waving it. Waving yarn. Keep on driving. Go up that hill, past those sand dunes. What do you see? Pavilion full of these happy smiling faces ready to greet you. Jump on in the water.
She's a not gonna see a thing. Refreshing. Come and dry off. Warm up by your own campfire by your side.
[00:39:27] Unknown:
Get up to the tent right next to your friends.
[00:39:30] Unknown:
Have some deep conversations long into the night. That's Lake Satoshis. Won't you join us 08/02/2025.
[00:39:39] Unknown:
We didn't wait to see it. Said a word. We just walked out and got on that thing. Roll on with the rest of the show. That was a lovely ad read. I really felt like I was on my way there. Yeah. I had a little smile on my face.
[00:40:00] Unknown:
Someday you will be, buddy. I just know it. One day. I will. One day. It's right up at the top of my list. You'll get over this not showing your face nim bullshit. Come and slap some skins. Maybe. I recently, hired a guy to come work at my gas well with me. The guy talked about that on the last show. Did you, or was that just me and you chatting? I'm not sure. It all kind of just melds into one. Maybe you did. Because people don't realize our personal conversations are pretty much this. Pretty much. Yeah. Yeah. You know, we'll talk about the kids and stuff like that, but Yeah. A lot of this kind of stuff. He's been working out really, really well. I'm I'm pretty impressed with this guy. He's not afraid to go out of his comfort zone. Like, you can tell his comfort zone is a IT nerd, computers, that kind of stuff. But when it's time to get down and dirty and and sweat and work hard, he's like, yep. Okay. Whatever you need me to do.
[00:40:53] Unknown:
Is it kind of nice to pass on some skills, some knowledge?
[00:40:59] Unknown:
It really is. And you don't know how much you know until you try to tell somebody else how to do something. Just really simple stuff like putting on a logging chain. Mhmm. You know, like, hey. Just put on that hitch there and and throw that logging chain around and, you know, shorten it up and throw it back at me. I think, like, what? He doesn't know any of these terms that I just say, you know, how to slide a logging chain on another link, little stuff like that. And I know dads have this tendency, and I very much do too. Like, just get out of the fucking way. Just let me do it. Mhmm. And when you have the opportunity to show another person something, if you can, just take the time to do it. Yeah. You have all this muscle memory of stuff. They don't. It's hard not to let that kick in, though. They're like, get the fuck out of the way. Let me just do it. Because you know, it's gonna be 10 times quicker and better if I just do it. Yeah. But you're right. Then if you get hit by a bus, then who's gonna know this stuff? Well, it got me thinking about mentorship. Now I didn't hire this guy on to be his mentor, and I don't think he sees me as some kind of mentor. So when I I say mentorship, it's not me getting the big head, but there's an element of mentorship and just about everything that you do with a younger person that doesn't know all the things that you know.
So consider there to be elements of mentorship when you have these relationships with younger people. Yeah. So it inspired me to write an article for this episode of Ungovernable Misfits PMM. Would you like to hear it? I would I wouldn't like to hear it. I'd love to hear it. Oh, very good. I'm so glad. Here at Ungovertible Misfits, I like to think we represent sovereignty, freedom, and building communities that'll outlast the crumbling foundations of Western civilization that we are experiencing right now. You know, I only told Muriel, like, yesterday morning, like, hey, you know, we're recording Thursday afternoon, and the episode is gonna be on mentorship.
And he's like, okay. I'll have something written. I was like, wow. Holy shit. Okay. And then somehow, it didn't show him, you know, my article. We were, like, writing in that at the same time he's sending me, and I was like, oh, look. Here's my article. And, I don't know. They kind of meld together as I just read the first sentence. Mhmm. But our impact is meaningless if we don't pass on our hard earned wisdom to the next generation. As a Gen Xer that's right, Josh, who doesn't listen to the show anyhow, but calls me boomer all the fucking time.
[00:43:26] Unknown:
And he's always like, well, I haven't listened to the show since it was bit by bit. He does the same to me. He does he listens to every single episode. He just pretends to be cool that he's not listening. But he does. Alright, Josh. Here you go. He definitely listens. You little
[00:43:40] Unknown:
cunt. As a Gen Xer, you little fucking hairy son of a bitch. See, it likes to touch, buddy. I've seen the selfish boomer legacy, and I'm determined to do better. If we are to make that fourth turning, if we are the strong men who make good times, that means being a mentor, a friend, and a father, not just to my own kids, but to anyone who needs a steady hand, a swift, hey, yo, or a lesson on how to grip it and rip it. This article isn't preaching or an old man yelling into the void. It's one of showing up, working hard, and teaching and instilling resilience into the next generation through action. Mentorship.
As many of you know, I was in the military, and I and hate to keep talking about this, but I get so many good stories from back then. It was like an action packed time in my life. So you're getting another There's nothing wrong with speaking about your previous parts of your life, is there? Get over it. No. I'd I'd like to think I'd cover them all. I come up with a good story in my head about mentorship. You get a lot of that mentorship. It's part of the system. It's the way it's constructed. Mhmm. So I got a good story from. As many of you know, I was in the military. I made sergeant in under four years. I was a good marine. Nontypical, though. Not some wannabe drill instructor screaming at my guys until I was hoarse.
As a platoon sergeant, I'd led with a mix of stoicism when the shit hit the fan, understanding when someone needed guidance, and a hard ass edge only when they fucked up bad, and they did. I had plenty of tricks up my sleeves for when they did. Painting rocks wasn't my guy's first choice in how they spent their weekends. I could flip that switch, but I didn't live there. My job was to build marines up. I'd tear them down. So one time, we had a new sergeant. This guy's name was sergeant Perk. He came in all hard ass and out of place, especially with that platoon. It was very, like, a pleb minor kind of platoon. Everyone was a electronics maintenance technician. They were weirdos. They those guys were sharp. They all had high ASVAB scores, extensive schooling. Some of these guys were over were over a year. What's an ASVAB? Like, a special needs kind of thing. Armed services vocational aptitude battery
[00:45:50] Unknown:
Oh, okay. If you must know.
[00:45:52] Unknown:
They weren't the type of guys you bark into submission. I had a good reputation there. I was good at PT, that's physical fitness, good at fixing gear, a hard worker who partied with the guys at my beach house on weekends, but was the first one to show up to PT Monday morning, stinking of booze more than the rest of them, but clean shaven and ready to run. They were my friends. Twenty five years later, they still are. Well, sergeant Perk was rubbing everyone the wrong way with his hard ass bullshit. So I challenged him to a competition, two teams.
Set up GP tents. These are general purpose tents. It's just a just a big canvas tent. Check them, PM them, tear them down, pack them back up. The fastest group wins. He picked his team. I picked mine. Perked bark orders. I ran around like a spider monkey, sweating my ass off, showing my guys how to do it, trusting the ones who knew their shit. My team unequivocally smoked his, and he picked good guys too. It wasn't me just picking all the runners and he picked the losers. Not because I yelled louder, but because I worked harder, and they matched my energy. Leave from the front. Never let someone outdo you, but don't make it a one man show. That's my approach.
I carried that mindset into civilian lives. Four years as an engineer and project manager for long distance distance fiber builds, nineteen years of my current vocation as a construction spicer. Now I'm passing it on by sharing stories with you guys on Ungovernable Misfits and building community through all of you in the Pleb Miner Mafia, the Meshedel. No matter the circumstances, I try to be the guy who works his ass off so you know what to expect. Grunts, nods, yo, here and there. That's how most men communicate with respect. I don't see mentorship as lectures or acting like you've got all the answers.
Sometimes it's just showing up, sharing what you know, and letting the other guy figure it out. I've fallen into the trap of looking down on younger generations, calling them lazy or soft. Get out there and get to know them. You'll find different. Every generation has its strengths, and it's our job to mold them, not mock them. If we're going to lead our communities into a better future, we're compelled to pass on our work ethic and resilience. Currently, I've been working with a young man who's been with me at my natural gas well in Bitcoin mine. He's only been at it a few weeks, but I see the potential. He's an IT nerd, sharp as hell, raised right by his dad, a guy I work with, a hardworking guy I've known for fourteen years.
His time and talent would have been wasted this summer in fast food working with retards and women and retarded women. With me, he's learning Bitcoin mining, natural gas operations, electrical work, and perhaps most importantly, matching my energy. We recently went on a trip to West Virginia to pick up a generator and mining container, and we got some wind chill time together. I was glad to be able to get that time with him, listening to his take on the world, the poisoned food supply, COVID's mass psychosis, dystopian vaccine mandates, blind obedience to authority.
At one point, he says if all this goes to hell, I'm just going to drive east until the gas runs out and find an Amish community to join. Oh, bad plan. I told him that's not no. I didn't I told him that's not a bad idea. That's sharp. As long as he doesn't mind a chick with hairy armpits. I told him about the mesh to del permaculture, regenerative agriculture, our mesh to del homesteaders, and pleb minor engineers, how we're building sovereignty communities. So his generation's got a shot, and he doesn't have to marry a hairy Amish girl. We may save his generation from a razorless world yet, Max.
And he's eager to share his IT know how, and I'm teaching him practical shit that every man should know. When When we got back that day, we're pulling the mining container off my trailer, and he was fretting about the fenders on this thing toppling over. It was unloading it on a hill, and it started to kinda slide towards the one side of the trailer. It's a tilt bed trailer. And I'd let him try to figure things out. You know, he's like, man, we should pull from this end and this end. And I was like, okay. Yeah. I'll try it. And I pull forward a little bit in my truck. I mean, no. No. No. Stop. You know, we should do this. We should do this. And I was, like, considerate of how conscientious he was because I appreciated that he didn't want the truck or my trailer or the generator to get destroyed. So, you know, I was like, okay. Alright. Well, we'll try this. We'll try this. And finally, I just put a a couple four by fours on one side. So if it did hit that side, it was just gonna slide on the four by fours and got on the truck and gripped it and ripped it.
And afterwards, I told him, I said, see, sometimes you just gotta say fuck it and go. He's like, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No. You know? I I I understand what you mean now. Those young guys, they they can overthink themselves into a corner, but action, actually doing something gets it done. In general, I want him to take that away this summer. Resilience, confidence, the DIY punk ethos we often talk about on ungovernable misfits that says you can do it if you try, even if you fail a few times, and then fail a few times more. Just getting shit done. Not afraid to break a few eggs. That's the key. That's it, man. I think the young guys are really afraid of that. Mhmm. I think that generation, I I can definitely say, like, they're they're very cautious about stuff.
[00:51:10] Unknown:
Yeah. But you start, like, you either have that in you. Maybe it's a generational thing or, like, you have that in you. We're just, let's fucking go when you're young, and then you break shit. Well, that's, like, how I was. Over the years, I've broken so much shit and been so retarded
[00:51:28] Unknown:
that

then I look at it. I'm like, oh, yeah. It's not the end of the world. Like, everything's fixable, so let's fucking go. Like, every you can fix as you go. It's not the end of the world. But if you've never if you're so worried about everything being perfect, you never move at all.
[00:51:43] Unknown:
Oh, yeah. A perfect being the enemy of good.
[00:51:46] Unknown:
Definitely. Yeah.
[00:51:48] Unknown:
See, he he's doing the same thing with the IT setup. You know, he's like, oh, well, you know, this building where your compressor is, it's got a different ground than the than the generators are gonna have their own ground. There's gonna be a difference of potential there, and that that's all very well and good to be thinking about. I mean, that that's great. I love the fact that he brought that kind of stuff up. And he's like, you know, oh, if you're using shielded Ethernet cable and I could carry the ground here, and I was like, listen. I'm digging a trench. I'm throwing in some conduit. I'm running Ethernet cable. They'll all be kind of tied on the same grid for grounding.
It's alright, man. It's okay. Everything will be alright. He sends me this wall of text, and I and I just looked at it, and I was like, that's pretty cool that he put that much time into doing all this research, and, like, he he really cares about getting this project built.
[00:52:33] Unknown:
Yeah. That was nice. He's putting in the work and he's conscientious and he cares about it, but he's not paying for it. And that's where it comes in, where you go, okay. I can spend double Mhmm. And I'll get the same results, and maybe my failure rate will be down by 10%. Okay. That doesn't add up. No.
[00:52:53] Unknown:
Yeah. I I said, buddy, if I was rich, I'd give you a credit card, and I'd say freaking go all out, but I'm not. And this is where I have been in successful in life is because I'm able, as my buddy Aaron says, fabricable things. I love that. Get it done. Get it yeah. I've always liked that one. So good. Eventually, said to him at one point, I said, I gotta lean on my strengths. I I thought you were gonna list all your strengths there. Oh, you ought to know them by now. Such a long list. It's hard to remember it all. We we gotta move on. We gotta move on. Your house is gonna descend into chaos here soon. I'm literally getting texts at the moment. So yeah. Alright. Sorry, dear. Ten more minutes.
[00:53:34] Unknown:
Honestly, getting them all out of the house today was a physical thing. Like, I had to physically pick everyone up and move them into the truck and open the gate. Fuck them off, like, literally out.
[00:53:50] Unknown:
Well, don't I feel special? And our listeners,
[00:53:53] Unknown:
what Max does for you. You're all very special.
[00:53:56] Unknown:
Let's move on to friendship. Special friendships. Mhmm. Being a friend means filling the voids in people's lives sometimes. Sarah and I have always opened up our hearts and our home to those who need it and deserve it. Years back, when our kids were younger, we spent a lot of time with a family with two kids whose dad had passed away and whose mom was grinding two jobs to pay the bills. In a way, we became a father and mother figure to them. For the boy, I was the one who taught him how to throw a football, a baseball, how to throw a punch. He's 19 now, but Sarah told me the other day that his mother still says what a positive role model I was for him and that he still talks about me, and that means a lot. And I've thought a lot about that over the past couple weeks, which that's another inspiration for writing this article.
[00:54:42] Unknown:
Chet turned out to be a very strong and kind young man. I think you've done a great job. Did a good job with Chetna. Yeah. You did. He's a lovely man. 19 years old.
[00:54:57] Unknown:
Friendships are built on trust like the social capital we build in the mesh to do. There's that social capital thing I keep talking about. I can't get over it. It's showing up with no strings attached to being the guy the others can lean on. When times get tough, as I often say, they will, those bonds are your safety net. That's why I'm part of the ungovernable misfits, plaid modern mafia, mesh to del, was to connect with all of you plebs who see through the veil, are doing something about it, and take solace and inspiration from a community who see the world as they do.
Fatherhood, on the other hand, is a very different from mentorship and friendship. I think that's obvious to those of us that have children. My girls aren't me. They're living their lives for the first time, and I can't project my own shit onto them. And I can't treat them like they're someone who I have mentored or have had a friendship type relationship. My job is to be their rock, to protect them, and make them feel safe in a world that's crumbling. Western civilization's fading, and they'll need to be resilient mentally and physically.
I give them speeches while we work on school stuff or correct their behavior, stacking functions to make the most of our time. I teach them independence by showing them how, then holding them accountable. It's a chore, the teaching, the letting go, the reminding, the reteaching, but it's my duty. I correct their mistakes, sometimes yell and huff, but always redirect them to the right path. I want them to grow into women who don't need me forever, and that's really hard to say. Like, that's a tough one. I want them to grow into women who don't need me forever, who can stand with their future husbands. When I see kids acting foolish or disrespectful, I don't know if you do this, Max, I don't sit quiet there like a cuck beta soccer dad I see fucking everywhere, especially, at summertime.
So we're gonna go to the pool all the time and see these cuck faggot fucking dads with Stanley Cups. Oh, I can't fucking stand I show up there in boots and work jeans and, you know, t shirt, pick the kids up. Cups. What are you talking about, manly cups? Stanley. Stanley cups. Oh. Oh, no. Don't slag off a no. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No.
[00:57:08] Unknown:
You can go fuck yourself. You can go fuck yourself. Do you know what I've got in my hand right now? A dildo. A Stanley cup. I've got a Stanley flask that I take everywhere with me, and it keeps my drink Stay hydrated. It keeps my drink lovely and cold no matter how hot it gets here in Scotland. Don't be a cunt.
[00:57:34] Unknown:
Okay. Odwalla cups.
[00:57:38] Unknown:
Do you know these cups? I don't know these cups. Odwalla.
[00:57:42] Unknown:
No. Alright. Look it up. I mean, look at a real faggot cup guy with that one. Okay. Anyway, back to the article. Anyway, if I see a kid acting foolish, disrespectful, I step in. If a friend's kid is mouthing off to their mom, especially if the dad's not around, I'll hit him with one of them, AOs. Uh-uh. And that look. Mhmm. You know, the look you can give kids. Yeah. Yeah. It scares the shit out of them. Mhmm. They know they know what that look means. Yeah. That kind of dad gravitas gets the point across. Yeah. And moms appreciate it, and dads do too.
[00:58:20] Unknown:
Odd one is extremely gay, by the way. I've just looked at it. I'm glad you looked that up. Yeah. My Stanley's not. Like, it's, you know I'll send you a picture of it later. It's No. That's okay. Pretty manly.
[00:58:31] Unknown:
Yeah. Yeah. I'm pretty sure. If it's, you know, you have it, I'm sure it's real, you know, it's tough. It's tough. It's tough. Is it dented? Yeah. I've got yeah. I have children. Right. That's better. It's a little bit better. They know if their kids are with me, I'm an extension of that fatherly accountability. My buddy Thomas down the street here, the one I think I told you is from Denmark. My buddy Thomas does the same for my kids. It's like it's a way of life, a community pack that keeps the kids in line and teaches respect. Mhmm. That Thomas will yell at my kids in a fucking heartbeat. Thomas. Thomas.
Lucas. He don't fuck around that guy. He come Viking style, and then the kids beat him over with a head with a battle axe. Love it. As I stated earlier, the guy who's working with me this summer was raised by a good man, my buddy, Robbie g. He's a good man, and therefore, his son is a good man. And that isn't always the case, of course, but it's a lesson we can all learn in mothers and fathers. Parenting doesn't have to be any more complicated than giving your children the example of a good man or a good one. But we're still punk.
Punk and hardcore days shaped me as referenced in our don't forget the struggle, don't forget the street article on ungovernablemisfits.com. Clothing is back on the store. Buy some after you catch up on our articles.
[00:59:57] Unknown:
Buy it slowly though, because we've almost run out.
[01:00:00] Unknown:
Wow. That was fast.
[01:00:02] Unknown:
Yeah. The new printer wrote to me. He was like, woah. You weren't fucking kidding. And I was like, no. I did tell you. Yeah.
[01:00:10] Unknown:
Are you ready for this? Yeah. That DIY ethos wasn't about no responsibility. That's not what punk meant at all. No cares, no responsibility at all. To me, it was about hard work, failure and trying again. You can't DIY without skills, resilience, confident. I hate being told what to do. I think that was the the real start of my punk either. They still fucking hate being told what to do. So I outworked everyone in the Marine Corps. Everyone, wherever I was, I would outwork them so I could call my own shots,
[01:00:46] Unknown:
and that's what I wanna pass on. Did you sort of have the thing? I I have it still now, but, like, it just doesn't really happen in my life anymore. But when I was a kid, someone literally told me what to do, like a direct Mhmm. Go and pick that up and put it over there. Something like that. Like a direct you do that. I couldn't do it. Like and it wouldn't actually matter what the consequences were. It's like detention for a week. I'd be like, you're paying for it now, aren't you, buddy? Yeah. They they'd, like, do all that. Yeah. Oh, how about a month? I'm like, how about a fucking year? I'm not doing it. Yeah. It was very dumb.
Very dumb. And then I had smart friends that would pretend or, like, I'm telling you, you need to do this. Do you understand? And, like, I'm like, no. I don't understand. It's dumb. Whereas the smart ones would go, yes, sir. I understand. And then they go and do the same fucking shit straight away anyway. That was that was a smart move, but nope.
[01:01:45] Unknown:
I think it's good advice. If you're like us and, like, a blood rage comes over your face when somebody tells you what to do Yep. Work hard. Work very hard. Yeah. And so when you run into kids or young people that are like that, it says to him, the only solution really is for you to work your fucking ass off. Mhmm. So there isn't somebody to tell you what to do. Yeah. Other than yourself. And I think that's punk. Mhmm. And that Ungovernable Misfits Meshed Out, played Modern Mafia, I see this punk ethos in action. That's us. That's you guys, building communities that'll outlast the current epoch of civilization.

[01:03:29] Unknown:
Good show, mate. We're excellent. Yeah.
[01:03:34] Unknown:
It was a bit rushed, but we're still good. Yeah. It wasn't bad. It's alright. We didn't get to hear so much about your shitting.
[01:03:42] Unknown:
No. It's it's awful, though, but I've lost a lot of weight, and I'm looking better and, feeling healthier. Oh, I crave some sugar. I crave some alcohol, I'll be honest. Mhmm.
[01:03:52] Unknown:
Or do I crave it? Just not, like, let down at night. Oh, okay. Sit down and have a drink. Yeah. Just
[01:03:59] Unknown:
but no. Nothing. Nothing. Good for you, buddy. Before we jump off Mhmm. Did you tune in to the Bugle Boys event?
[01:04:09] Unknown:
And if so, how did it go? I didn't notice that it was live streamed. I tuned in to their day before. Mhmm. They were at somebody else's event, and Rod and Greaser and Fundamentals were, talking to some folks. And, man, I I just Rod especially, I think Rod could be, like, the next Larry King or Howard Stern. He he's just a really good interviewer. He has this way of just keeping things going when there's uncomfortable pauses. He always has something to say. I I just was really impressed with Rod's skills on the microphone very much so. Mhmm.
He's very intelligent.
[01:04:45] Unknown:
They both are.
[01:04:46] Unknown:
Impersonable. No. I wasn't taking anything away from Greaser. Greaser, listen. Don't let him put you down.
[01:04:52] Unknown:
I know he slags you off all the time and holds you a cunt, all that sort of stuff. But No. I don't. Oh, I think it might be the first cunt of the show. Oh, really?
[01:05:00] Unknown:
Yeah. There weren't any in the boosts. Okay.
[01:05:04] Unknown:
Oh, yeah. That's true. Cock a few times. That's usually true. True. Come come come come come come come.
[01:05:09] Unknown:
Get it in.
[01:05:11] Unknown:
Right. Anything else?
[01:05:13] Unknown:
That's it, buddy. I'm just gonna roll with the, outro music. I think you'll like this song. It'll pump you back up. Sometimes we end the show, like, a little. Here's a special message for all of you guys. Fuck that. Rip it off. Grip it. Rip it. Let's fucking go. Get out there and get some work done. Peter finally showed up.
[01:05:50] Unknown:
