In honor of @Car's recent hero slaying, we slay our bitcoin hero... @Car.
Will he see the light, have a change of heart, and decide it's worthwhile to support fellow Stackers and bitcoin entrepreneurs or will he keep supporting the heartless mega corporations relentlessly destroying freedom?
After slaying Car, we do talk about the territory, MLB all star game, NHL, NBA, cricket, soccer and more...and then slay Car a bit more at the end.
Happy listening guys!
Thanks guys for your support in contests!
Thank you for doing an amazing job running them.
Despite my horrible showing, I also enjoyed the contests.
Love you guys so much! I will keep holding down Spotify for SSP as y’all’s only listener and zap you here on SN.

Listening now…
was this one?
view on youtu.beThat was awesome. Too bad he missed.
It's a more honest reflection of Marbury this way.
💯 To his credit he did launch the Starbury’s or attempted. Always appreciated that about him.

I don't remember those
Ya he was trying to prove he could sell $15 sneakers as an entry point to a catalog of other clothing items to accommodate the shoes at regular retail price the competition was selling for. It was unorthodox at the time. Lots of famous ballers made fun of him at the time because he turned down easy endorsement money from the big 4.
Ya I thought he made it too. Totally forgot Vlade made it on the other end.
Weird how will remember things playing out more whimsically or at least want that.
You found it!
I forgot that he missed.
When you said I instantly remembered but I was like, I think it was a shot.
Love you too, @Car!
You are keeping our spotify metrics afloat. Haha
Can’t wait to tune in during yard work
Hope we only moderately disappoint
It was good. A minor note: You guys start talking too early and it overlaps with the intro music, making you hard to hear
That has to do with the Audacity editing feature. I need to figure out how to use it better so edits, cuts, music fades are more seamless. That's my bad. I just haven't gotten around to it and we have been playing around with the intro timing to try and cut off an automatic ad that the software places at the beginning which is making things worse.
We're trying to get the timing of the intro down. There's an audio watermark from the free software we use right at the beginning and we want to cut it out, but so far it's been outsmarting us.
At, that makes sense. I’m sure you’ll get it!
Released just in time before my run.
Are you going to make the extra 20k this month?
Why so bearish? Bitcoin not stopping at 120k. I'm already at 74.2km this month and it's not even the 15th yet. I think I'm on pace to run 150km this month. I'm thinking of upping my game and push to 200km if the price calls for it. I am traveling to Taiwan near the end of the month though, but I'll try to still run in Taiwan.
I started using Runstr and joined @TheWildHustle's season challenge. Trying to win this thing and get the 30k sat 1st place prize.
That's awesome. I'm glad Hustle's freaks are getting into it.
Yea, got some fierce competition in there. I need to up my game if I want a chance at winning this thing.
Wow!
Car's on the show?
No @Undisciplined just spends some time trolling him for not using fountain.
@Car insisted that we slay him if he steps out of line. I don't make the rules.
interesting.
i recently deleted fountain because i found it was taking up an insane amount of storage on my phone.
yes.. yes... I know, 'the revolution will have bad ux'
Fountain itself? I occasionally have to go through and delete old episodes, but I never noticed the app being too large.
app data.
i didnt look too closely because i was pretty annoyed that my phone's storage was so bloated.
maybe it was my own fault.
It definitely can use a lot of storage on your phone. Currently using 25G on my phone. By far the largest usage of any app. I just deleted all audio downloads and it dropped to 14G. Now I can add back whatever episodes I want.
Hm, I wonder whether 14g isn't still too much for a podcasting app...
Seems pretty reasonable.
howdy
Are you here for the public shaming?
i do love a good car slam
ya plebpoet cuts me all the time at the lab, she’s a very sassy woman irl
That comes through on SNL
🤣
I'm in love with those AI videos. So damn funny. The baseball ones are hilarious as well. Best thing about these videos is that they are so wrong, but also so right at the same time.
Is the animation you guys were talking about Hero Ball? It's posted under the Bleacher Report account. I watch that too, it's pretty funny.

I love calling it the Paul George finals.
It's true. Paul George -> Sabonis -> Hali.
Also true, Paul George -> SGA + 2022 first round pick = JW.
This looks cool but no it's a comedy central thing I was referring to. I will look it up and post one tomorrow.

Are these summaries accurate and helpful? Should I go ahead and summarize all the episodes?
I think they're fun. The accuracy's pretty impressive.
They are excellent.
Flagg had a very good game last night.
Apparently he is being shut down for the rest of summer league
As much as I hate load management, I don't know why you'd play the number 1 pick in these games. It's not like the other starters are playing, so there's no chemistry building.
One word: money
The beginning is very hard to cut perfectly. Before next week's pod I need to play around with audacity and figure out what the smallest time span I can cut is so we can just make it easier and do a countdown rather than trying to guess. This time we bantered a bit and I could cut to right before you said "that should be long enough" or right at Stacker Sports podcast.
I am guessing it is around 3 seconds.
We could do a ten second countdown and then wherever you cut in will just be the last few seconds.
We'll outsmart these machines, eventually.
If it only allows cuts in 3 second increments then we would need to do a 9 second countdown. That's why I want to check the shortest cut time.
I did some research. Apparently there is a way to make smaller cuts. I have to watch a tutorial. I will test with the current episode and if I can get the cuts finer we don't need to make any adjustment.
In honor of @Car’s recent hero takedown, we jokingly turn the tables and make him the target—our Bitcoin hero turned villain (for now 😄). Will he come around and back the little guys, or keep riding with the big corps crushing freedom?
After giving Car a hard time, we dive into the territory, MLB All-Star game, NHL, NBA, cricket, soccer, and yeah… we roast Car a bit more to wrap it up.
Enjoy the episode, folks!
Haha, what an episode! Love how you all roast @Car with both wit and heart. Hoping he sees the light soon and shifts that energy toward lifting up fellow Stackers and builders. Also appreciated the mix of sports talk—makes the territory feel even more alive. Keep slayin’, team!
