We'll see what Bark says in his space But and also some like amazing phone calls today with you know some of the biggest people in in web 3 IRL businesses Branding a lot of different things some new calls, you know some some people we've never actually talked you know talked to So bark will definitely I think talk about it in his space somewhat I don't think he'll say who it is and who they are but yet because there's too much going on behind the scenes and Before our event so but it's really cool to see that and see the support from others Um, yeah, man good things man good things and man the event coming. Oh my god 33 days. Holy shit. It's pretty insane man I was thinking about go ahead. I was just gonna say time is flying. I literally like this is it's going so fast I don't understand it's under the year. It's November. It's like whoa. What happened? Oh my god, we got things giving coming up to I know that's a busy day for for our family a lot of traveling Do you have to travel or is it at your house? Well, we'll do We'll probably have like three things giving to be honest my parents are no longer together So I'll do something with my mom. I'll do something with my dad and then we'll go and do something with my grandma That's which like yeah, it's we got to spend Spend the holidays with her we're not sure you know how much longer it should be with us unfortunately, but you know That's part of life and the fact that it's looking like we'll get the holidays With her as a giant blessing. So I definitely you know no, no, but Well, you never know man life's short Right like those moments and those gatherings and the things you think about you know with loved ones and good people But for sure. Yeah, that's that's happening and yeah, you'll go to a couple you'll pop out to a few I know we'll just go to one, but I know like my kids will go to multiples you know what they're like Girlfriends, boyfriend their houses their grandparents. So I know my kids will do some of that For sure because I think yeah, yeah, that's that's how it works man Yeah, you just said man like life and if it's parents separated or if you still have grandparents around or parents like Yeah, man in those moments you don't want to miss any of those those moments for sure man Any of those memories, but uh, yeah, it's like it's a good time for people and gathering and getting together um For sure Yeah, these these next like uh Wow, it's really going to be like a handful of weeks, huh because it's like two weeks two and a half Till he's giving and then like basically a week after that Will be in Miami spin in Spin in a good event together Dude, I'm so excited. Uh, I know Just my experience from New York and seeing everything that you guys put together for that. I can only imagine how crazy Miami's going to be and And you guys have been working diligently on getting all the details together. So I'm super excited to hear more And just experience it you know experience another community event in a new location and see what that's all about Plus, yeah, I don't I don't know how we're doing so many things like so much like there's so many things we added to this one I'm like Man and we keep adding and doing this and I'm like bro like I'm just like now I think of the event after this you know events. We're already you know looking into You know in 27 a couple of them, but I'm like Yeah, I'm like how are we gonna like top any of this like you know like top in products and what we build Is amazing, but it's not gonna be anything like that last star basil or any of the events New York anything. It there's just so many new added experiences and then When we're just on the call like me and the team right before I started this we're still on the call but we um You know, there's other people that have surprised us and called us out of the blue that we've been tapped into with With other things if it's events or um things that they own you know, they're they're You know restaurants or clubs their hotels their Beach clubs like you know, we we got some calls during our call from those people like oh, man We haven't talked to them and you know six months or eight months and so it's like it's it's pretty cool Like everything's like coming together very well. So it's good to see Yeah, it's awesome I'm Yeah, I can't really imagine I mean, I'm not surprised those calls are kind of coming out of the blue with all the momentum that the Dojo dogs have now like you guys on the timeline, but then just everything that you That's been building here. I mean the ddl specifically is probably the easy one to identify just You know to go from a launch to being sold out to having a tournament already scheduled to have cards graded by a gs to have cards selling for You know four figures Months after released is absolutely insane and and right now it doesn't look like there's any Signs of slowing down or or any of that. So the momentum's there the velocities there now it's just continuing to show up putting in that consistency and And doubling that work effort and and working towards achieving that that overarching goal of Creating a brand and an IP that lasts forever and I can't wait to see What all you guys have been working on on the ddl side of things I know there's there's been talks of in your expansion when that may be released and What all could come with that and and what you guys are planning to do with with these characters that you've all created I think there's like an abundance of opportunity there Um, I love what I'm seeing on the timeline a lot of people Making gifts and videos like nib and devol and defy. I just I love seeing all the content Flooding the timeline it makes me so happy and And inspires me constantly and Uh, you know, I had some stuff come up and now order and I are getting back onto to discord and cooking up some incredible things and I'm super excited to show share it with everybody and Just continuing to put that best foot forward There's so much going on in the road right now these elections and a lot of doom and gloom and you know at the end of the day like A lot of that stuff is outside of my personal control So all I can do is be aware be prepared and then if it happens it happens and figure out like where What's the silver lining and it wears the opportunities lie and how can we kind of come back from it stronger than ever um Because if if anything humans are resilient So With hope and faith we can carry on no matter what Mm-hmm Order. How are you doing today? Sick oh What's up How about you how's anthem doing I'm good. I'm good. I'm actually embarking on a new IT experience. I just started Claude workspace for the first time yesterday so I'm Trying to land this I've been trying for like half a year to land this app that I've been working on for It'll be almost a year hooting it at the beginning of next year so Yeah, just working through it you know just trying to find different angles to land the plane So we'll see hopefully this is that yeah absolutely is that the uh Is that clause version of agents or is that their their codex or like their Claude code it's basically it kind of seems like in between cursor and GPT a little bit. Okay, it's kind of like uh, you know what it is. It's like GPT codex basically. Oh, okay Yeah Big the dev kind of suggested this one to me he's been helping me land the plane the last few weeks and a little bit and and so kind of his big thing was to Try Claude so I've kind of done the circuit here. So I've got cursor, Claude and GPT And I'm like downscaled cursor I've already kind of downscaled GPT and I'm running 20 bucks on Claude right now So we'll see this maybe this will be the ticket so nice we will be yeah Yeah, it's been fun. It's actually kind of cool. I'm I like uh, I'm pretty impressed with what I see Which do you use all these ones to or yeah? I bounce around. I mean right now I'm not gonna lie It's primarily grok with a little bit of GPT just because I'm really I do really like GPT's agent system that I think they're called dots Um, okay, they function really well Um, I haven't tried that one yet. I haven't tried the GPT agent stuff yet. Yeah, I like their agents a lot and then Is that on the $20 month or is that like on a higher version or I think you do get it entry I think you they just limit how many dots you can create. I don't think like, okay, you know Oh, that's cool. I'll try it out. But I do think there's some access to it with the paid like the $20 a month Which is that's all I have on GPT's blood Little heavy on the eating of the the credits, but hey, you know if it works well then it's cheap So we'll see. Yeah, that's one of the reasons Well, I mean, I was using cloud primarily and then it kind of I don't know what they did It got throttled or nerfed a little bit or it got nerfed a little bit and I couldn't really tell why I know it's running opus 48 medium right now. Nice. So Yeah, I think that seems to be I've got it like I like it tapped out yesterday a little bit But yeah, you know how it is because like first first day on and so kind of learning the cadence of it a little bit Yeah, I just um when I was heavy on cloud. I didn't like Because they have credit limits, but it's like a 24 hour limit and I kept on maxing it out. I was like this is not It's sustainable because then you get maxed out and then you're like well, what am I supposed to do with and then I was jumping over anyway And then Grock got to the point where I was like well Grock's doing the same level of work that cloud was doing and And then we all got on Grockbot and I was like, okay, well, let me just Let me yeah, I guess on this one. I tried the Grockbot a while ago and it was struggling with the coding
