All right. What's up, everybody?

Welcome back.

Happy Skiy to you.

And Memorial Day.

Well, actually, you're watching this today after Memorial Day, Tuesday, May 27th, 2025.

We're filming this on Memorial Day at what time is it,

March 9.54 a.m. on the left coast, much earlier addition,

because I'm coming to you from my hometown, old stomping grounds of Clay County,

Tennessee.

That's also the reason for the more lo-fi production quality.

But I hope you can forgive me.

It was either this or you just didn't get anything this week and we didn't want you guys to go without. But that's what I'm doing. How are you doing, Mark? Doing good, man. I went to a barbecue, more really a barbecue yesterday afternoon. And there's a woman from the UK there who was like, I don't even know what this holiday's about. And I was like, well, it's for the dead troops.

And she's like, what does veterans say?

I guess that's for the dead troops and she's like what is veterans day as that's for the living troops and then July 4th and flag day are also we make them about war even though they're not technically about the troops right and then it's like she's like we don't have anything like that like they have remembrance day for I guess I think it's for World War troops, but like they just took three minutes of silence don't even get off work.

So, yeah, just a specific cultural thing.

Well, it's what it's like, I mean, it is weird how many things we have that's like just all about, you know, the troops and the flag and America rocks and all that stuff were very nationalistic. It's like how you think about as an adult when you think back as a kid on getting up and putting your hand on your heart and doing the Pledge of Allegiance every day or whatever. And as an adult, you're like, man, that's kind of fucking weird, actually. It's like out of 1984, but you don't think about that when you're a kid. And it's like a lot of these holidays, you like that too.

But also I kind of appreciate how most of them, Veterans Day, not really, but Memorial Day for

sure, and definitely July 4th, really just end up serving as like most holidays in this country

is an excuse to like, you know, get drunk or whatever.

Like we're, you know, I'm from, I just said I'm back in my hometown. I'm Salina, the only thing we got going for us here is a lake. It's a lake town. A Memorial Day weekend is the start of the summer. And so this, that's what everybody treats it mostly as. It's like Memorial Day weekend's like, yep, rest in peace. Also, you know, let's go get drunk on the boat for the first time this year is what most people do by the way it's like Memorial Day weekend. It's like, yep, rest in peace. Also, you know, let's go get drunk on the boat for the first time this year is what most

people do.

By the way, it's raining every single day we're here. So that kind of screwed all of our lake plans. But what are you going to do? Yeah, get drunk on a boat or get a good deal on a mattress. Right. So, before we get to the show, we're going to're talking about a lot of fun crypto-related stuff,
