“Alaska, those people were fucking cool. Like, there's there's something about living up there like where you could die going outside like a good six months out of the year. They work together. They're very friendly, but they're very rugged, but they're also, like they realize you need each other. If you if your fucking car breaks down the side of the road, you could die. Like, someone's not gonna let you die. They're gonna pull over. In California, they're like, someone will get them. They just keep driving.”

“It's the wolf thing is interesting because they they just brought him back to Aspen, and they did a really stupid thing. They they brought him into an area where it has a lot of livestock, and they brought him in from a place in Oregon where these wolves had all been captured because they were killing agriculture. So what did they do? They captured them, and they dropped them off in Colorado where they started killing cows. How how the fuck do you in good conscience take a wolf that's used to killing cows and put them around other people's cows?”
Regulatory crackdowns follow major protocol failures
“Regulators are going to have a field day with this, and we should expect much stricter oversight on smart contract audits and protocol governance. This failure provides the perfect excuse for government overreach into the DeFi space, which is the last thing builders want to see right now.”

I was like, I don't know if I'm ever going back. You know? I was like, this is right where this is where where I need to be.”
“I have a video of me shooting at an access deer at 80 yards, and it's, we have a slow mo of the arrow. So as the the arrow's coming, it's a perfect shot within 10 yards of him. He hears it and and he's gone. It's the craziest thing. This thing's going at least from the actual, like, leaving the bow, it's going 275 feet per second. And he get out of the 10 yards. Within 10 yards, he's hearing it coming, and he's like, see you.”

You don't need to be locked up in any contracts with nobody. He was like, they're all telling me I gotta strike while the iron's hot. I'm like, fuck them. I go, you got talent, dude. Talent is the number one thing. You already have that. That $7,000,000, they're giving you that because they're gonna make 14.”
Riding bulls at 10 built lifelong mental toughness
“Riding bulls, that's one thing my uncle taught me when I was young. He he was really quick to be like, man, it doesn't matter how strong you are. It's not about it's all mental. It's all in your mind, and it's all, it's not I think I can. It's I know I can, and I will. And he goes, if you don't if you don't believe that every time you go put your rope on one of those on their backs, he's like, it ain't gonna happen. He says you you say you don't it's not being cocky. It's just being confident.”
“You know what's really good for kindling? Fritos. We were in Alaska, and it was raining all the time. So we got some pieces of wood from, like, underneath the bottom of trees and shit and dead trees that were covered by other things were kinda sorta a little bit dry. And we used Fritos.
