Wizard Wednesday Episode 78 Transcription

Wizard Wednesday Episode 78 March 8th

=

Elf: [00:00:00] It is Wednesday We're Wizard and today is a magical day that we call Wizard Wednesday in with Quantum Style, through the quantum Downs. This is Elf and Do

and, and Bear Snake is in the woods going peepee right there. Hi and

Bearsnake: bear. What's up?

Elf: What up Bear? Welcome to Wizard Wednesday.

Bearsnake: Hey, I, yeah. Hey, thanks for having me.

Elf: Uh, we got a lot to go over today. We've got questions, we've got updates, we've got cult content. So I'm just gonna launch right in. The first thing I want to talk about is, uh, have you seen those 3D Souls? Yes.

Dotta: I love. They're so fun.

They're, they, you know, you have a knack for sort of like, um, marrying kind of the dark with the [00:01:00] comedic in a fun way, and it just really shines through when these souls heads. I love it.

Elf: Yeah. Yeah. I, the, the, like, these 3D souls have just brought an entirely new love and appreciation from me for that collection.

Uh, and, and you nailed it, don't it? Like, like, one thing I love about these, it's, is it's, it's showing sort of the comedic, wacky side of the souls, and yet they still look very gory and gruesome and scary. Uh, they're, they're just so much more organic maybe than, than the Wizards collection. Um, and, and yeah, I freaking love 'em.

Um, You know, I, I just wanna brag and say, uh, what did I tell you? All souls would immediately follow right up after the Wizards were done. They are in full production. I can even say that. I've got like 30% of all the heads done, all freaking ready. Um, and, and I don't know if I said this last [00:02:00] week, but all the wizards are totally modeled heads and bodies.

Um, the rigging is mostly done, and now all that's left is the texturing, which goes relatively fast. So yeah, 3D is almost

Bearsnake: here, and let's just congratulate. Elf and the 3D team for making the deadline. Yeah. Thank

Dotta: you. Incredible. So the 3D team, uh, correct me if I miss anyone, is elf. Um, it's Molly, it's frog eater, and then I think that there's been a couple of other people to help, uh, as well.

But it's been, been a huge, huge effort. And I don't think that you did mention it last week, the fact that all of the wizards heads and bodies are modeled is a massive milestone. Uh, so yeah, I'm very, very excited about this

Elf: freaking massive. Um, you know, yes, you, you name the whole team. Um, I might add one more.

Uh, wa on our team, mag Waze, the one who rings, [00:03:00] um, who his contribution is, he is currently making, uh, the 3D page on our website where everyone will be able to go, uh, download their model, see their model. Hopefully test out some animations on their model. Um, we're building it all out, so I'm really excited for that.

Yeah. Well, I also

Dotta: worked on the code to kind of like script, uh, uh, blender basically to, to, to actually make 10,000 different wizards. Right. So there's, um, you know, of course there's a few hundred heads, a few hundred bodies. Um, and, uh, we put them together with code. And so that assembly work's also been done by Mag was ear.

So it's been really fun, been really fun to see him, uh, create like 3d uh, memes, I guess. And then also working with Locke. Locke is like even been getting into blender to grade on 3D work. So it's just a little microcosm of what hopefully the whole cult will be able to do.

Elf: [00:04:00] Exactly. Yeah. And you know, I, I think I've said this before, but um, you know, the 3d, the whole 3D thing has definitely taken a very long time.

Longer than we wanted, but I, I think the timing is actually perfect because if we had released these six months, six months ago, there wouldn't have been a lot of things to use these for. But now, um, just coming up very fast upon us are a bunch of new 3D metas that other teams are building that you will be able to use your 3D character in.

Um, so, so I think this timing is actually way better. Um, speaking of the website though, Woz and I were discussing this yesterday and I'm just gonna kind of open it up. Uh, the, there, there we have sort of two options as far as like downloading a 3D character rig on one option is just completely make it open and let anyone in the world download any character.

The other option is [00:05:00] Token Gate It. So you can only download that rig if you actually own that character. There's pros and cons to each. Uh, what do you guys think?

Dotta: I think that it should be open for sure. 100%. Uh, okay. Uh, I'm curious to hear what, you know, if the community has any thoughts, if anybody wants to come up, feel free, but in my opinion, basically like there's no upside to making it harder to, to get these files.

Um, you know, the, in terms of sort of the, the rules that we've basically set up is that anybody can use all of the wizards, all of the art that we create for non-commercial purposes. So, for example, if someone wanted to create a game, um, and they wanted to include wizards through, include these 3D models into their like metaverse, um, and it's sort of like, They're not charging people to use the Wizards, they, they're allowed to do it.

I think that there's just like a strong enough culture within Web three that like, if you're going to like, invite the wizards in and you're gonna like let people connect as their wizard, there's gonna be an expectation that you're going to let the wizard [00:06:00] owner sort of use that. But if somebody wanted to like, use the R 3D models as sort of like an asset on the steam asset store, like more power to you, especially if it's non-commercial.

Um, so yeah, I don't think that we need to ate it. I think it, like, I think almost everyone would appreciate seeing their model used in some other context. Yeah.

Bearsnake: And I also think you look at a lot of the content, the cold content that's made, people are bringing, you know, they make art scenes with all of their friends in it, right.

Without the permission. And I think we, we should mirror that with 3d.

Dotta: Matt's coming up here.

Elf: Yep.

What's up Meadow?

Dotta: Meadow? Did you say that Nifty League is going 3d? Because that would be,

Elf: yeah, I just posted it actually in the secret tower. I'm gonna pin in here. Nifty League's. Actually the, I noticed myself like the week that they pretty much announced that, like that wizard, if you scroll through their timeline, like, funny cuz they have like the announces that wizards are in NIF league and it mixed in with like announcements of like, [00:07:00] here's like a 3D version of like this map and this map and like that got gears rolling in my head like, hmm, like is that coincidence?

But it sounds like you didn't know about it, so

Cult Member: maybe, maybe it, yeah, no I didn't.

Elf: It's, it's quantum synchron, that's what we call it around here. Yeah, so, so I guess by the time we have our models ready, they'll probably have their 3D ready and we can probably get wizards in that too. There you go. Hell yeah.

Bearsnake: And I will say a lot of the things that we're looking at doing in the future, definitely incorporate the 3d.

I think it's, it's a whole entire new playground for us, and I think, uh, it just adds, you know, no pun intended, but a whole new dimension to experiences and games and things that we can do in the future. So I think I'm just, I'm so excited and they just look so fricking good.

Elf: Yep. It's, yep. Yeah,

Dotta: it's so hard to get the initial [00:08:00] collection in 3d, but then you get such an economy of scale when you try to do animations across every character versus like pixel art where we have to, you know, paint every pixel,

Elf: right?

Yep. Uh, so yeah, so they're not, again, they're not 100% done. We still have some texture work to do, but like the, the heavy lifting is over and, um, we'll be rolling these out as soon as we can. Um, and, and again, like that first batch that I, that we released, uh, to. Select community members a few weeks ago.

That was very helpful. There's gonna be even changes on those. Um, I think I'm gonna do a new version of the rainbow suit, cause I, I didn't really like that one. Um, but yeah, uh, look forward to 3D coming very, very, very soon. Um, and, and then, yeah, I also wanted to just give a quick shout out to, to Locke and Woz, um, who are using the 3D assets on TikTok.

Um, I personally don't know a lot about TikTok, uh, [00:09:00] but what I do know and what I love about it is that the content there is just very low brow and ridiculous. And I mean that as a compliment. Um, and the things that Locke and Woz are, are doing with our 3D models, uh, fit that description perfectly. So I imagine they'll do really well on TikTok.

Um, okay. And then in other news, uh, it looks like my super puma sold, uh, which, which I believe led to a new cult member joining the cult. So it did its job

Dotta: well done. Perfect. Yeah. Uh, yeah. So that's Mitch, n z. Hi, Mitch. I don't know if you made it in here. We'll see.

Elf: I, I see Mitch just commented in the secret tower. So, yeah. Welcome to the cult. Mitch, what up? Yeah. Nice. Uh, Puma wizard. Um, okay. Yeah, let's jump into cult questions. [00:10:00] Uh, so Tabitha of the marsh asks.

If the forgotten una verse is a reflection of the real world, why do its members only reflect positive treats of the real world and not the evil and the dark? So I would say, first of all, I have seen some evil and darkness, uh, right off the bat, but you are right. I think it is overwhelming positivity. Um, you know, the universe is being built by the cult, and so it is their own reflection they are building with.

Uh, and so I can only assume that that reflection that they see is a positive one. Um, you know, a reflection is not something described only by the eyes, but also the brain and the heart. So, um, reflections are upper interpretations and uh, so far it's been nothing but positive, which is great. Um, Emma is asking skiing.[00:11:00]

Are you working on any of your own overarching lore? Uh, what do you have planned for the future and um, is anything that the cult is building, influencing your personal lore? Um, I think this, this is a good question for all three of us. Um, uh, yes, I am working on my own lore, um, and it's all in my head and I know that's the lamest answer ever, but it's true.

And, uh, I will roll it out. Yeah, I think in the next six months it is a, uh, a fair, a fair assumption. Surely I can get it done in six months. Um, bear, uh, or dodo, what about you guys? Um, I

Dotta: think a lot about like the lore that I wanna tell from. The project as a whole and less about the lore that I want to tell from like a specific character.

I mean, I have characters in Wizards that I own, that I've, you know, thought through some lore to tell about them. And I probably should [00:12:00] just to set a good example. But I think, like for me, one of the things that's always been a bit of like friction point is just like being the embodiment of Dota and then like, not having really like final say in the lore of the character of Dota.

So I think that most of my lore will be kind of on, uh, well, uh, like some of the other wizards

Elf: that I own. Well, what's funny about that is number one, you don't even know the on the original. And number two, I own the baby Doda, so. Right,

Dotta: exactly. So there's really an identity crisis

Elf: over here. Um, Barry, what about you?

Bearsnake: I'm kind of along the lines with Doda. I, um, Um, sorry, I'm, I have, um, a little bit sick. Uh, I feel like I've really just been, I have three different stories right now that are in different phases, but they're all really around my, those specific characters, and I think I need to like, get those out there first.

Um, and then figure out how to [00:13:00] like, weave in my, uh, my friends and other, and sort of other cult members into those storylines. But I have to like, establish them as, as sort of individuals

Dotta: first. Yeah. I would say for me, I think that like WildAid Lumos, which is like Wizard ID 44, that would be the wizard that I kind of think the most about his lore is like, because like for me, that's sort of like my kind of anchor, like default wizard of the entire collection.

I just like that I, I picked that wizard out super early because it felt to me just like this quintessential wizard, he's got a purple hat, he's got a broom, um, and he's got the beard. And so I think, I think a lot about WildAid, Lumos, um, uh, but I think that we'll probably have more as a group detail about him, uh, in the year to

Elf: come.

Yep. Um, maybe you guys should do like a group, like, like you guys should actually drop like Laura, like one specific wizard that all three of you kind of like contribute a little bit.

Dotta: That's fun. Cool.

Elf: Yeah, we will, that would. [00:14:00] Um, yeah, that, that would be a microcosm of the collaborative legend. Legendary. Uh, pixel Trader is asking what is the current status of the TV show?

I've seen the trailer. I was very impressed, uh, reminded me of visionaries from my youth opinion. Remembers that. I do not remember that. Um, but bear, I know basically your entire month has really just been phone calls, uh, to the industry insiders. You got any updates for us?

Dotta: Yeah. I mean,

Bearsnake: I tweeted about it the other day.

I mean, nothing that is, is sort of ready to share more broadly, uh, or I should say more specifically, but, you know, I mean, we've gotten, we have interest from some of, you know, the biggest studios in, in the world that make some of the most successful television films. Uh, and it, it, it just, you know, I had to tweet about it, I think it was yesterday, just because it, you know, it dawned on me that.

While, while all of us are building this, the cult and and magic machine [00:15:00] altogether, the fact that we have and, and, and obvi and you know, the fact that we have people at the highest levels calling and having like incoming interest without us even w within just like hearing about it in, uh, hearing about the, the property and the project.

Um, and then them calling us is just, I think it's just absolutely phenomenal that that doesn't really happen. Usually it's you have to like, just sort of like get a battering ram or get inside of a tank and, and roll through the front door of these, of these studios. But the fact that people are starting to come to us, um, as they hear about what's going on, it makes me extremely excited.

And, and I think, you know, as, as, as much as we want to speed run and move as fast as possible, I think we have to make sure, you know, part of the difficulty here is um, we don't wanna just like. Go down the path that any normal show goes down, because that inhibits us from [00:16:00] doing things and including the cult, um, in certain ways, uh, because these, these traditional media companies are very handsy and grabby about rights and you know, what they take versus what creators take.

Um, and so we're, you know, I think we're just trying to, as always set a new bar for how, uh, a company that's been born outta Web three and wants to embrace that ethos across all these mediums, like, and have that reign true. And so, you know, it's one thing to sell a show, it's another thing to come in, in, in a position of power and hold onto as much as possible, if that makes sense.

Dotta: Yeah, exactly. Because like the only way. Forgotten ruins wins. And we like stay true to our vision is if like everyone wins like that, that if there is a show and this becomes like a global media brand, that that's something that we all took part in and that we all benefit from. So I think that [00:17:00] like the deal terms also matter, um, in so far as like, you know, if we go to it and then Netflix owns it all and they own all the backend and then it's like, okay, we got a show, but we like lost creative control and then there's like no money on the other side to go to anyone, then that's like not ideal.

And so, mm-hmm. I think we're just always navigating this of like making sure that we're like getting the best deal that we can, but at the same time, You know, not holding out for something that's impossible. And it's like we never, we never know, you know, perfectly what the right answer is, but we're just making progress every day.

I mean, I know it seems like an eternity in, in Web three World, how long we've been talking about this, but it's just how long it

Bearsnake: takes. Yeah, I mean, for what it's worth, I think if we just wanted to go the traditional route, we would've sold it and it would be in process. Um, but you know, I think as always we have the long game, uh, in mind and so, uh, we're gonna get there.

Things are [00:18:00] looking really good.

Elf: Yeah, just, and by the way, that option was on the table, um, and we, we just didn't take it, so, yep. Anyway, uh, so yeah, speaking of the show, uh, Snoop Doug is asking kind of a tangential question, believe it or not. Um, Snoop Doug is asking, uh, did a different group of Wizards trap each beast?

And if so, was it the Kron who trapped the, or Boros? Okay. So this is actually a storyline I'm actually playing with in the show script. Um, how the, how the beast got behind the gate. Um, and, uh, so, so I'm not gonna say too much there, but, but as far as the or Boros is concerned, I, you know, I don't think the Oro Bo Boros actually came from the gate of the seventh Real.

Um, the Oro Boros, which is the divine avatar of space and time, first revealed itself on Times Square in New York City. Uh, true story. Um, so I'm not sure if it's ever been trapped anywhere because how can you confine a beast that manipulates, uh, [00:19:00] space itself? Um, you know, all we really know at this point is that the wizard realize who is represented by the video Ghost Toru, uh, is currently the beast master of or of the Arab Boros.

So, uh, any further information or questions may have to be, uh, directed at him. Uh, Tanya is asking, uh, who is behind those amazing beast animations for Goblin Town? Um, yeah, they are indeed amazing and it is the geniuses at the Pixel shop. Um, so yeah, I mean, I don't know. Doda, I mean speaking of Pixel Shop, do you wanna give any Goblin town updates?

Dotta: We've been working super closely with Pixel Shop for Goblin Town. The UI is looking incredible. Um, NIS and I have got a end, end, uh, demo pre alpha demo working on Arbitrator's, Testnet. [00:20:00] Um, and, and Pixel Shop has just been incredible in this process because, um, everything they produce looks incredible and they've also been very flexible with me because, Um, you know, I, I'm not like super great at kind of designing every single UX interaction from my brain, um, like ahead of time.

And so what'll happen is it's very iterative. Uh, they'll, I'll be like, oh, we need, you know, UI design of these kinds of apps is like very sort of intricate. And it's like, okay, there needs to be like a tab where we can craft a settlement or a road, and then you need to show how much each one costs, and then you need to be able to like, place it and like, what menus do we even put that on, right?

And so then like, how do you know how many you have and where, what button is it and where do you lay that button out? And so the team over there led by, uh, sums have just been so gracious, so flexible. Um, they, they meet with me on a regular basis and, and, um, well we've, we're making quite a lot of progress there and it looks really good.[00:21:00]

Elf: Yep. Not only are they super talented, they're also, uh, very. Uh, friendly and kind and just a joy to work with.

Dotta: Yeah, they're really great. Uh, Johnny, you've got

Elf: your hand up.

Dotta: Hey.

Cult Member: Hey. What's up? Was that uh, Dota or Oh, what up? Yeah.

Bearsnake: Dota. Yo, what's, what's up y'all? How

are

Dotta: y'all doing?

Elf: Good. Hey, good, how you doing?

Good, man. Did I meet

Cult Member: any of you in New York last year on that? Like little, uh, like that yacht that went into the like death thing?

Elf: Probably. Were y'all there? Y'all were on that. Uh, I was not Bear. Were

Bearsnake: you on that? You know what? I didn't make it to the boat. I did not make it to the, yeah, I don't think

Dotta: any of the three of us went.

Some of our team was there. Jitsu was there. Yeah. Where is

Elf: Jitsu anyway?

Cult Member: Oh, snap. Dude, I felt like such a, a, a loner dude. I was eating that pizza and just getting sloshed and drinking and like, I was like, I wish I knew where the Wizzies

Elf: were.[00:22:00]

No, we, we, I, I, that's the one thing I was really sad about missing. I, I, I had a, we did a Christie's art auction, so I had to go to the party for that. Um, but, but yeah. What was, so, was it fun? Did, what did we miss?

Cult Member: I thought, no, you didn't miss too much, man. I mean, plus it was like, um, y'all collabed with like two other projects or something to make it happen.

Um, I, I was like baffled. I couldn't, like, I did not run into like any wizards holders and I was like, what the fuck? But it was still a good time and everything, and I'm, I'm glad that y'all made that happen. Um, yo elf bro. Can you give me your honest critique and opinion on my

Elf: canto RAs? Oh, are you the one who drew the canto ra?

No, I didn't

Cult Member: do the art on them. Um, that Oh, okay. The, the art was done by acid

Elf: eater. Okay. Okay. Right. That's what I thought. Um, I mean, uh, all I really know is that the art is fantastic and, um, I'm a little annoyed that [00:23:00] acid does my style better than I do.

Cult Member: Yeah. See if, if, uh, if I think if Canto was really actually moving right now and like their marketplace wasn't absolute dog, she, uh, that it would, it would, uh, have a little bit more attention.

But I totally, I went to the Mala Rave and um, some other stuff in Eha Denver and like tossed out like almost a quarter pound of pre-rolls. Um, oh hell yeah. And I was like, yeah, are you a canto, enjoyer? Are you a weed enjoyer? Okay, here.

Elf: Nice.

Cult Member: Nice. But yeah, uh, I just wanted to come by and say hello and that I love y'all.

And, um, I totally hope we can meet, uh, I r l one day and party it up.

Dotta: Yeah, that'd be fun. Yeah,

Elf: I, I'm sure we will. Jitsu. Did you have a comment about the, the yacht? You were there, right? I was there. I was

Cult Member: drinking, I was partying. Um, yeah. What's up Johnny? I remember you. No, I don't. But [00:24:00] it's like good that you were

Elf: there.

Probably should have met. I

Cult Member: have a, I have a picture, I have a picture of like me on the yacht, not, not a face docs, but I was wearing like a tan Woodstock shirt and I was like pretty dripped out. I was

Bearsnake: like a super skinny, super skinny

Cult Member: white dude, even though I'm mixed. I'm Indian, but, um, that was like

Elf: 80% of the boat.

But yeah,

Cult Member: no, like, uh, this girl like came up to me and was like, can I get a picture with you? And I was like, sure. And I literally like covered my face with my hands.

Elf: So I, I heard, I didn't, obviously I wasn't there, but I heard that it was either Tad or Dr. Pop was doing the worm, uh, the dance move is, is that true?

Jitsu? Can you confirm? Confirmed it was magical.

Cult Member: Pop Pop. So

Elf: pop it was Dr. Poplawski. Okay. Okay. Okay. Yeah. Okay. It was good.

Cult Member: I don't remember much the dance floor, I'll be honest, but it was, I

Bearsnake: remember that moment, that's for sure. [00:25:00] Jie, I like how you just came up on stage mid shoeing and are just like,

Dotta: like mad.

Your pfc, sorry. Which I love by

Cult Member: the way. What is this? I'm about to bail guys. I, we just wanna say I love y'all one more time and um, keep it pushing, keep it pushing. Thanks.

Elf: Coming up.

Cult Member: All right. Yeah. Appreciate Johnny. Thank later. What p p is it showing for me? It still shows my cucumber one. Or is it the Cyclops?

Yeah, I'm seeing

Elf: a cyclops.

Cult Member: Oh, the cyclops is good. That I was joking about it on Twitter, about how I wanted does, um, Cyclops Cobalt and then why Sam went and made one obviously. So I had to snap right click, save As, and put it as my profile picture. So here we are. I love it.

Dotta: Uh, he's really committed to that Yellow cobalt.

Uh, mm little bit. Uh, it's

Cult Member: a little greenish. It's, you know, yellow, green. I

Elf: say green.

Okay. We have two more questions to go through. Uh, this one is actually very important. Uh, [00:26:00] Sharon is asking, uh, today is international Women's Day. We need to get more gals into the cult. Any plans to make that happen? So Sharon, I'm gonna say that I have no plans to make this happen, and here's why. Because the current women who are in the cult are just outshining everybody.

And I'm a little intimidated, quite frankly. I mean, we've got Tanya Del Rio whose talent is just off the charts for everything. Acid eater, like I said, does my pixel style better than I do. Cosmic and Emma are better at memes than anyone. Sharon and Lor punk are some of our top lore, ma lore masters. Sammy is the queen of pretty much everything, not just the Hall of Cats.

We've got, um, sweet Bread and Artist and Slick Chick and Cookie Tree and Slim's wife, who I think everybody likes more than Slim himself. Nah, uh, and, and not to mention Locke and Molly on our team. So, you know, I, I'm just, I don't know if bringing more women in is a good [00:27:00] idea. What do you guys think? More women.

Okay. Then Bear, I leave that task to you.

Bearsnake: I'm just saying it because like, I, I like, you know, I, I go to, it's my job to go to all these conferences and events and I don't think we've all seen like the Frank to Gods, uh, video of, of the, of the second web three Worm Pop obviously had the first one. And it's just a lot of dudes.

And we know women are smarter, more, you know, basically better everything. So I think we just need to, uh, you know, we need to have a better balance here. Yep. Yep. Oh, also Slim's. You didn't say Slim's wife. He did, no, I. Okay, good. All right. When

Dotta: we, which like, we know that she has a name, but she also goes by Slim's wife.

But if you want us, and

Elf: we

Dotta: like her a lot more than Slim. Yeah. If you would like us to use your own name, we are happy to, but we don't know it. [00:28:00]

Elf: Um, so yeah, I don't know. I, I, I hope that answers that question. Um, and then finally, v Mark is asking, um, this is a question for Doda, uh, but I think Bear could answer this too.

Uh, what do your children, uh, tell the other kids about their father's work? Uh, v Mark says that he feels weird, uh, when his son tells others that his father owns Wizards. Uh, what, what guys, what, what do your kids think about, uh, you being cult leaders? Oh, Well,

Dotta: my kids love it, so my kids are super into it and create wizard art all the time.

And like, um, you know, drawing wizards in this household is, is quite common. We've got wizard rugs and all sorts of sketches. Um, you know, I don't think that like other kids really ask, but like, people definitely ask, you know, when you meet new people and they're like, oh, so what do you do for work? And if I don't know them very well, I'll just defer and I'll just [00:29:00] be like, oh, I'm a computer programmer.

Or I'll be like, oh, I sell art online or something. Right? And so I think like, uh, yeah, when everyone, whenever someone asks, I think it just depends on like how deep I'm ready to go with them. Because we're still in the phase where you're like explaining NFTs to people. Like, like I would say 50% of the people have heard of NFTs and like 10% have even heard of like, let's say board apes for example.

So it's like you, you have to be like, oh, well, like the mo, okay, think about the value of the Mona Lisa as like not in the board or whatever. Like you, if you have to like have that conversation, it's just like a lot.

Bearsnake: Yeah, let's just say like, uh, parents night at school, I just try to avoid it because it's just not worth getting into.

Um, like my kids think think it's cool, but they don't engage with it. Like, my son wants to do what I do, even though he doesn't really understand what I do. Um, so yeah, I mean he's, yeah, I, it's, it, it's NFTs have not broken into that, like that age [00:30:00] group. I would say

Dotta: most of the new people that we meet are like at church too.

So like I don't really open the, I like, um, lead up a wizard cult.

Bearsnake: Do you know the church would have a problem with you being a co-leader?

Elf: You know,

Dotta: some things are better left unsaid,

Bearsnake: man. Should I come down there and break the ice for you? Yeah.

Elf: Yes. Come to Bible study please. That's like such a funny

Cult Member: premise for like a skid or something. Holy hell. Yeah. Oh

Bearsnake: my god. Bear a Bible study.

Elf: Uh, yeah. I'll, I'll bring my demonic black goat into that scene. That's perfect. Great idea. Yeah. Bear Aldo to walk into Bible study. So, so yeah, this is a good segue into just a little anecdote that I wanted to talk about. Um, I, for one, have no children, but I do have some nephews. Um, and I saw they, they did something really funny recently and I, and I [00:31:00] think it actually speaks to something bigger that the whole community can, can sort of, uh, relate to.

So, um, You know, when, when, when you describe what an NFT is to a lot of, uh, normies, uh, I, I think a lot of people and myself included, uh, use the, the analog of baseball cards, um, or just any sort of physical trading cards. Like, it's, it's a good, like, real world analog to what, to what an NFT is. Um, and so I have, I have some nephews, they're like three and four years old.

Um, and they're just now getting into Pokemon cards. And the funny thing is, is I don't even think they know what Pokemon Pokemon are. They certainly don't know how to play the game, but they love the cards. Mm. Yeah. And what's, and what's really funny about it is, I saw my brother sent a video recently.

They're not playing the game, they're not watching the TV show, but here's what they are doing. [00:32:00] They built their own little Pokemon card store. They are selling their Pokemon cards to their friends and to their dad. Oh,

Dotta: that's a security.

Elf: And, and it's like, that is an N F T. I mean there, you know, there's the fun and the culture and the collecting aspect, but there's also this, the, the market aspect. And it's just amazing to me that these three and four year olds, like the first thing they do is put their cards on the market market. And, and then I was like, thinking back like, what did I do with the cards that I collected when I was a kid?

One of the things I did a lot was, you know how they sold those like price guides? Mm-hmm. Um, And they had every single card listed, and you can see how much you could sell each card for. Um, me and my brother and my friends would always like, make a list of like every single card I have and its price and then add it all up.

And I, I don't, I don't think I'm the only one who [00:33:00] did that. I think that was pervasive activity among all card collectors. I

Dotta: love it. Well, I mean, and, and then that's even like how Mountain Gox got started, right? That was like the magic, the gathering exchange. Right? And so because it got to the point where that, that that's, there was a direct lineage from kind of the p prices are published in the magazines and then the prices move online, and then you have this like exchange online where you can buy and sell the cards even without even taking custody of them.

And so that's, I love that so much. I would love to do a set of physical, well, I shouldn't say this, I really, really loved the physical ruins cards that I got from the Mele dad box. I thought they were so fun and I wanna see more of that. Um, yeah, those, so. So it's so satisfying to like, have them in your hand.

I feel the same way about like photo books too. Like we get photo books printed up through like Google Photos or whatever, because yes, they're on your phone, but there's just something about like having these artifacts in like the, in your physical [00:34:00] space that like, um, give you kind of more opportunities rather than like finding them on a folder on your phone.

Elf: Yep, yep, yep. But yeah, I don't know. It just, it just struck me as, as like something fundamental that even a three and four year old would like try to sell their, their, their collectibles. I don't, I don't know. It's, I, I guess for me it like, ultimately it's, it's just a wa me moment. Um, yeah. Yeah.

Dotta: You guys didn't eat your trading cards.

Bearsnake: I did that.

Dotta: Nice. That's very good. Cut from the same

Bearsnake: cloth. Love it. Yeah. Yeah. I'm right there with you. Jessey ate 'em. You hate them. What do you

Dotta: mean?

Cult Member: I mean, I'm just happy you understand

Bearsnake: me bear. Yeah, no, the the one, the shiny ones taste great.

Dotta: Way better. So me and my daughter play like old maid and then like when we, when she was younger, people would like chew them and like so old maid is like, you don't wanna let you draw a card and try to get a match, but you don't wanna draw the old maid.

And so then the problem is like she would like bite the old maid so that way she could like [00:35:00] tell which one it was. So that's clever. So then we would like have to chew all the regular cards that way they all had bite marks. So our whole old made deck is just like covered in bite marks, so that way no one could tell which one is the old meat.

She understands. Yeah. Okay.

Bearsnake: It's better than card counting. I mean, it's a lot easier than card counting,

Dotta: but we didn't like ingest them. I don't know what you guys are talking

Bearsnake: about. Well, no, I just chewed them up. I got the juice out.

Elf: Yeah, you, you guys, this is why they put sticks of gum in those packs, so Yeah.

Bearsnake: Oh, I discarded those. I never chewed those. That's gross.

Elf: You traded the gum, but you ate the card. Great. Yeah.

Bearsnake: No, but al back to what you were saying, I think it's like, it's just easier to play with a card, a physical card than it is with a digital one, especially for younger kids. And that's why we need more and more, uh, sort of ways to interact with more fun ways to interact with our digital, you know, our digital assets.

And that's what this whole sort of movement's about, right? Like hopefully in 25 years [00:36:00] when my kids kids have, um, when my kids have kids, there will be things on whatever devices they're using. To be able to, you know, it's like, that seems like a, like a, a mobile game and you can interact. I think it's, the physicals are just, it's just easier to interact with.

Dotta: Yep.

Elf: Mm-hmm. Yep. Um, okay. One other thing that's been happening, the community that I just now learned about and um, I'm kind of sad, I'm just now learning about it, is Tim k TF has just released a bunch of physical shirts and they freaking look awesome, and I don't know how to get one. Uh, so who up here can tell me how to get one of those?

Cult Member: I don't think you can anymore. I don't think it, I think it's over, over. It was over, like from the very beginning. It, you have everyone speculated that there was gonna be physicals because of like, well you put your image onto a physical essentially, and then like, you know, eight months

Elf: later they, they got him out through

Cult Member: like a burn in the sub, I mean, a form of some kind.[00:37:00]

Um, but yeah, I missed it too. And I'm like, hold assets from that ecosystem, so I'm just. I'm dumb. I'm dumb, but like, yeah, I don't think we can get 'em anymore.

Elf: Hey, bomb. Do you have any comments on

Cult Member: this? Yo, yo, happy wizard Wednesday. Yeah, I do actually. Um, the nice, I don't know who was just speaking, um, sorry I was hopping up, but they were correct that it was through a comfy hoodie token that these were redeemable.

You could go to 10 ktf shop and essentially, you know, get your hoodie and redeem it. They're no longer available at this moment, but, um, I wouldn't doubt that they were gonna do more of this stuff in the future. So keep your eyes open, you know.

Elf: And, and what do you need to, like, do you have to exchange a token to get one

Bearsnake: or, oh, if, if it's over, give it up, you're not getting one.

Cult Member: Um, essentially, yeah. So you'd get, you'd get a comfy hoodie token, or they had APE token that you could just essentially purchase one of these four. And on the shop [00:38:00] online, you would have to have in the same wallet the IP that you'd want printed onto the hoodie. And as well as, obviously it has to be an IP that's involved in the 10 K TF ecosystem.

So Wizards are in, right. Okay.

Elf: Okay. Yeah, I mean, I just know that I minted, uh, like a backpack like almost probably over a year ago now. I have two of 'em. I guess they're like the Genesis Tin Ktf, something. Um, but I don't know what to do with it. Maybe, but I, I guess I missed my window on the,

Cult Member: well, you might have some major, like they have a whole bunch of alpha where they have burn king through P F P.

And if you go to the stockroom on open sea, there's this thing called the G tag. And under the property on right properties, the only thing it has is a crown. So, and the, the community's done so much sleuthing finding these like hidden, you know, messages essentially in these tweets. And if you wanna DM me, I'll send you this stuff.

But, uh, yeah, they [00:39:00] essentially found these hidden messages that said burn. Crown for P F P. So we're speculating that if you, and the only way to get a gag is by taking a Genesis item to the recycler on their, again, their 10 ktf map and all that. And essentially you would get the blank item, like if you have high tops or a day pack that are Genesis, which those are the only two items that can be Genesis, just for anyone that's listening.

Um, you would then get the blank dayak or blank high tops and as well a G tag. So essentially you'd be able to recraft those items, but they would no longer be labeled as Genesis

Elf: jt, why couldn't you explain all this to me? This is the expl explanation I was looking for. This is

Dotta: why I can never use 10 ktf.

I can't understand what's going on.

Elf: Yeah, it's

Cult Member: uh, it's a fun ecosystem, but there's a lot to it. And the way I couldn't explain it that well [00:40:00] because. I'm, I don't explain

Dotta: Too good.

Bearsnake: You ate too many cards. Too many

Cult Member: cards At a young age.

Bearsnake: Wait a minute. But if I, I have a mutant day pack. What do I do with that?

Jt, right? You can

Cult Member: just send that to a new address

Bearsnake: right away. Shut up. Hey Bob, what do I do with my immune backpack?

Cult Member: I mean, that's up to you to speculate like whether or not you want the gag, because that's the thing, Genesis is always king in that ecosystem. So,

Bearsnake: so it's Genesis, one of the properties is Genesis.

So that's, yeah, that's,

Dotta: is Genesis a gag the same

Cult Member: thing? No, it's not. So there's on their fact website too, on the fact section of their website, excuse me. They have, say they've updated it many times and it still says certain items will only be, um, I guess distributed or available through the ownership of Genesis.

So there is still value in owning a genesis. Like I had, uh, like seven Genesis, I burned five and kept two. So not financial advice, [00:41:00] but I, I still want to be exposed to that side of the ecosystem, if that

Bearsnake: makes any sense. Can I get one of you? Could you tag? Oh yeah, absolutely.

Cult Member: Five eth and we'll make it happen, captain.

Bearsnake: Oh, that sweet.

Cult Member: No, they're actually not too bad. They're a little under an eth right now. On, on Opens Sea. So again, if you, if you wanna go snag one.

Bearsnake: Yeah, I got my mutant dayak. Dang it. Anyway. It's too late though. The head, the headline is Elf, you missed it. I, I have all my sweatshirts with all of your wizards on them.

And listen, if you wanna make a deal, just, just gimme a ring.

Elf: Okay? I'll wrestle you for it. Oh

Bearsnake: yo, you can't lose. You are already, don't have any, you. How are you gonna get wit? How are you gonna get bear when

Elf: I'm gonna beat you, bear. I'm coming. I'm coming back with a vengeance.

Bearsnake: Have you been working out every day since I've been just the one arm.

Elf: You'll, you'll see bear. You'll see I'm coming to LA next week. Oh, now I have to come.

[00:42:00] Listen.

Bearsnake: Yep. I'm, I'll always make time for you, Alf. I'll always make time to beat you in things.

Elf: Okay. We'll see, I supposed watch

Dotta: Josh next week.

Bearsnake: Josh is a blind horse. Won't

Elf: just put a, a big orange fuzzy scarecrow in the field and he'll, he'll think

Bearsnake: it's Doda if, if anyone doesn't know who Josh is, Josh is the blind horse that lives next to Doda. Yep. Um, and every once in a while, I guess what the owners go out of town and you have to feed Josh. Yeah, that's

Dotta: exactly

Elf: it. Yep.

Yeah. Well, Josh is also a, a racer in the black sands pony racing that my pony has. Beaten every single race. Um,

Bearsnake: so are you flexing that you beat a blind

Elf: horse? Yes, I am. And I'm about to be a bear next weekend, so, oh my God.

Bearsnake: Get up here. You have to film. [00:43:00]

Elf: Okay. Um, okay. Anyway, ABO thanks for the, for the 10 Ktf, um, uh, explanation.

Uh, that's what I've been looking for the whole time. Um, okay. How about some, some lore? I want to talk about the Illuminati heads. Oh yeah. So these are fun. Uh, everybody knows what the Illumina's heads is. Um, so there, there's an archetype, uh, just in the zeitgeist, uh, of. It's this, there's, there's this, there's always a secret cabal that is just always behind the scenes.

Um, often in government or elite institutions. Um, there's always talk of some shadow group that is actually in control. Uh, and they are sort of the masters of the very public leaders that we see. So, for example, uh, the president of the United States is merely a servant of the deep state. [00:44:00] Um, secret banking syndicates control the world's finance, which are controlled by ancient families, which are controlled by reptilian overlords.

You've got groups like, uh, the Freemasons and the Rosa Crus and the Bergs and the Rothchilds and Skull and Bones, and the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. And these are all examples of these like secret societies behind the scenes. Um, And, and there's very rich lore behind all of these. Uh, and so, um, you know, you can spend years just going down these rabbit holes.

And, and people certainly do. I mean, this, this sort of genre is just rampant on, on the internet. Um, you know, just look at what Q Anon has done. Um, the, the lore of these conspiracies is just so damn compelling because honestly, it's, it's a mixture of truth [00:45:00] and absolute nonsense. Um, and, and for better or for worse, it's, it's, it's often the nonsense that is really put up front because nonsense has the capacity to be more sensational than the truth.

The truth is often confined by facts and reason. Um, And, you know, I find that even the crypto community at large is quite prone to conspiracy theories. Um, and, and why wouldn't they be? Uh, you know, the word crypto is in the name. Uh, cryptography is the art of concealment. It's, uh, it's, it's the art of hiding something with ciphers and secrets.

Um, and, and not only that, but the Messiah himself, uh, Satoshi Nakamoto is like the quintessential conspiracy figurehead. Um, so. I'm not here to like, offer my personal opinions on how much truth or bullshit is in any given [00:46:00] conspiracy theory. All I'm saying is, is I'm just trying to illustrate how much lore and storytelling potential is in this territory.

Um, you know, Dan Brown's Da Vinci Code is, is a really fun example. Uh, Dan Brown brought a lot of these ideas into the mainstream and, and whatever you may think of his work, it was extremely popular. Um, and so of course, such a lore rich archetype has to be in forgotten reasons. Um, uh, and the image archetype that is pervasive in all of this conspiracy discourse is the all seeing eye of providence.

Um, I mean, it literally sees us every day. On the most banal object ever, the US $1 bill, it is hiding in plain sight. Um, and so all this is to really say is I can't tell you exactly [00:47:00] what it means. Nobody can, there is no canon in conspiracy theories. Um, and so there's no canon here in, in the universe. Um, the eye of providence is not really here to answer questions.

It's here to serve as a conduit to the secret behind the secrets. Um, it is after all a creative primitive, uh, for you to explore this forbidden territory through lore. Uh, so if you own one, perhaps you can give us some insight into your secrets, uh, through this avatar of the Illuminati. Um, and that's really all I can say about that.

Uh, I know somebody asked this question last week in the Secret Tower, and I don't know who, what it was, who, I can't remember who it was, but, but, but that's the lore behind

Bearsnake: the I love it. I was talking smack in the secret tower when you started, but I think it, it, [00:48:00] it, uh, I think it fits perfectly. I love it.

Elf: Um, I, I, yeah, I'm looking at your shit talking now, and you said you do not approve bear. Tell me what you do not approve.

Bearsnake: No, it just sounded like you were going down a pretty, uh, dark path, but you turned it around and, and it was all cyclical, so we're good.

Elf: Yeah. It's, it's interesting that you, uh, described this as a dark path, um, because Yeah, I mean, a lot of conspiracy theory does get really dark, especially on the internet.

I mean, it's, it's resulted in some terrible shit. Uh, but what's funny is like, I remember as a teenager before the internet was really such a big thing, um, You know, this subject matter was so much fun to explore. Um, and, and I, I kind of wish that conspiracy theory was, was, was like back in, in the fun phase.

Um, cuz cuz yeah, like nowadays it's, it's like, it, it it, it intersects with danger and [00:49:00] darkness very fast.

Bearsnake: Yeah. It's just, it, I think it like gets mixed up in this idea of like, uh, questioning facts and skewing, um, what information is presented to who in what way. Uh, and yeah, it's, there's nothing light and, and fun, uh, a about it much, but, but I think, uh, you know, the, I think the reasoning between the, the iconicness of the illuminati head and your explanation just seems so spot on.

Elf: Have you, uh, read the DaVinci code or seen the movie?

Bearsnake: I love Tom Hanks. Of course. I've seen it.

Elf: Ok. No, I, I, I, I remember reading that book, um, and I know a lot of people make fun of it, but it was, it was a page turner. Um, and it's like, you know, I just love how he took all these, uh, conspiracy tropes and wove them into a big story.

And, and like, like what's fun about this [00:50:00] genre again, is like, there's so much truth mixed into the fantasy mm-hmm. That it's, it's fun to like pry apart, uh, where the historical accuracy is where, and where the pure fantasy is.

Bearsnake: That's why I always like Michael Creton and even like Jurassic Park, this, he, there was always like this sliver of science, quote unquote, that.

Everything was like hung on this idea. Like there were mosquitoes during dinosaurs, and they would, you know, they'd set the blood of a dinosaur and then get caught in amber and then, you know, and then we find it. But like, you know, that's believable, right? There's like, that's technically possible. Whether or not we can like, replicate dinosaurs out of that is another thing.

But like, to your point, it's, you know, taking certain things that, that, that could potentially be true and, and fabricating a whole entire sort of world or, or story around it, I just think is so interesting.

Elf: Jitsu or mado or dodo. Do you guys have a favorite conspiracy theory that you think might be true?[00:51:00]

Dotta: Oh, oh, this is like a

Elf: whole other episode.

Dotta: I, one of the things that I find it most disturbing around, like the time that we live in, in like 20, 23, is like basically two things. One would be the fact that like, pretty much all of the conspiracy theories are true, or like mostly true, right? Like when you look at like, gosh, I'm, I'm gonna zip my mouth because I'm not ready to go into this right now.

That

Dotta: like, I think that they're like almost all true. Um, like, so, uh, and then the other part would be just the fact that like, um, That kind of, the information warfare is so rampant right now and, um, there's like very little consequences for kind of this sort of like, the people who fulfill that sort of Illuminati role are able to sort of say whatever they want and kind of, there's no real consequences to, to putting out [00:52:00] fiction.

So I think that those, well there's nothing really humorous

Elf: about it. It's somewhat stressful actually. Doda, do you think that, um, the, uh, alien lore between behind the Roswell crash is true?

Dotta: It's very interesting. I have gone full circle on this, so I've been like, super into kind of like, I don't know what you want to call it, like the UAP stuff since sort of, uh, like the Nimitz tic tac incident.

If you haven't looked into it, you absolutely should. Um, you know, there's a couple of people in the cult where we have like our own little private chats where we're share kind of the latest stuff. I've really gone full circle. I've gone from both like being like, oh, there's something, um, there is like technology that can move, um, better than the laws of physics that we actually are aware of.

Um, that there's something real. And so you see kind of like all sorts of like eyewitness testimony from this, right? It's from people in the Air Force, people in the Navy. You have, you know, uh, uh, Obama getting [00:53:00] on late, late night TV saying, oh yeah, there are things out there that we kind of like, don't understand how they move.

Um, there's, there's a lot of like interesting evidence there. Um, you know, I, uh, Well, there's a lot of interesting evidence there. At the same time, I think that like they use, they, the Illuminati right? They use that sort of, uh, PSYOPs for power and control. Right? I, I actually don't think I've looked at kind of all of the evidence and I actually haven't seen any, like even one concrete piece of evidence that feels just like absolutely convincing that UFOs are real.

So I've kind of come full circle to feel like maybe it's actually just a big psyop, um, to create

Elf: the next crisis. Okay. Doda, I have another important conspiracy that I need to get your take on. Mm-hmm. Do you believe that the earth is flat? No. Okay. You said you believed in them all, but I'm glad you don't believe that one.

Dotta: No, but like, ok, like [00:54:00] the moon landing stuff, right? So like we probably landed on the moon at the same time. At the same time. NASA like very likely. Uh, put, put out like fake footage and presented it as real, for example. No. Yes. I'm not saying Wait,

Bearsnake: wait, slow down. Are you saying that they went, but maybe before they even got there, they put out fake footage just to like get ahead of the Russians?

I'm

Dotta: saying that like, when you look into it as like part of kind of the materials that were put out of like, oh, this is footage from the, from the moon. It's not, it's like studio footage that's like fake and then like there's footage that's real. And then now they'll even say, they'll be like, oh, we told everyone it was fake at the time or whatever, but like, you can't go find that footage, right?

Like they lost like all the original tapes and now all you can ever find like the remastered versions. It's crazy. I'm telling you. Look into it.

Bearsnake: Can we have a whole topic about conspiracy theories? The people

Dotta: who say that the moon landing was faked are not completely crazy, but we probably did go on the moon landing.

The, the, [00:55:00] basically the mo the, the most convincing reason of why we did go on the moon is they basically left effectively like a mirror on the moon. And you can basically run the experiment to like test that the laser like bounces back. And that it's like real, right? Like we went to the moon. I'm not saying we didn't, but I am saying that there's like weird stuff in how they presented, like what they did and what they actually didn't do well.

The

Bearsnake: motivations behind going the moon, well, partly was to like show dominance and like, you know, superiority and technology, right? So maybe there was a version of them putting that out there, uh, and faking it before they actually went just to, just to like show up the rushes, you know. Well, we're going, we're going, we're going.

We're going. We just took a hard, right.

Elf: Okay. First of all, I think it's pretty clear we need to do a whole wizard Wednesday on this topic. Number one. I'm so down. Number two. Um, man, Donna, you said a lot. Wait, Donna, do you, do you think, uh, Stanley Kubrick is the, is the one behind the, the moon ending footage?[00:56:00]

Uh, I don't know.

Dotta: That's the thing people say. I

Elf: have no idea. Okay. But

like,

Dotta: okay. But here's the thing that, lemme tell you one thing that, that people talk about this. Have you heard like Project Bluebeam? Yeah. Okay, so this is, this is probably what like the UFO sightings actually are. Is that, like if you, you know how like when you have like your cat and you and you have like a laser pointer and you like move that laser pointer around?

Yeah. Project Bluebeam is probably a three-dimensional hologram that they use actually to like, trip up sensors where you can basically like focus in these lasers into a three-dimensional point in space and make it appear as if there's this craft that moves like super fast. Oh really? You're actually just like focusing lasers, three lasers on this like one point.

So it like ionizes the air, it shows up on your radar, it looks like it's really there. Uh, and then you move it and, and it's like, wow, this thing is like the size of, you know, a small car. And you just blew my

Bearsnake: mind. You just blew my mind.

Dotta: [00:57:00] Yeah, so like, it's probably just like a weapon of war and not really the

Bearsnake: aliens.

There's no aliens. I'm going back. No aliens. It's lasers.

Elf: Jit mado. Weigh in with your conspiracy theories.

Cult Member: I got nothing to say.

Elf: I, I know what jitsu's conspiracy is. Cobalts are green. That's his conspiracy. Yeah, we'll leave it there with that one. Matto, anything.

Bearsnake: Matt's upset. Matt's upset. Look,

Dotta: just do research on whether or not the CIA trained Lee Harvey Oswald. That's all I'm gonna say.

Bearsnake: Oh, I'm not denying that. I'm not denying I have someone you need to talk to. Doda, I have someone you need to talk to.

Elf: Who is it? Lee Harvey Oswald. He's actually still alive. Yeah, he's

Bearsnake: in Costa Rica.

You don't know that

Elf: is does is, is he, is that the guy who you hired [00:58:00] to put the posters up in New York for us?

Bearsnake: No, my, my, my buddy is actually writing a podcast, um, uh, about the JFK whole conspiracy thing and it's, it's very, very interesting. You're gonna have to talk to him, Donna, cuz it's, y'all will, uh, get along quite

Dotta: well. I've said enough I have to code Goblin Town. Yeah, I

Bearsnake: got, doesn't matter. I'm gonna phone on 60

Elf: seconds.

Yeah. Oh man. I have so many more to bring up, but yeah, we only have one minute left. Um, you know, I just wanna say though, that I, I've really enjoyed the past 10 minutes and, uh, I think the Illuminati has done its job. I mean, clearly, you know, this is what a creative primitive is supposed to do. Spark conversation, uh, uh, ignite creativity and make the imagination go wild.
