Brian and Jason's Excellent Adventure

In this freewheeling, high-energy return to the mic, we break in new audio gear, talk live mixing our theme music, and lay out road plans for a run of April conferences—Nashville, OpNEXt, and a Vegas sprint where we aim to rip ten on-the-road pods. From there we riff into Bitcoin culture wars, meetups, and the BIP-110 drama, drawing surprising parallels to 90s tape-trading ethics, nitrous-lot economics, and scene game-theory. We detour through comedy war stories (including a triumphant night at Philly’s Laugh House), time traveling with Bill & Ted, and why Fish may be the closest thing we have to the Wild Stallions—a band uniquely built to scale, unite a fractured culture, and give younger fans a real alternative to musical slop. It’s loose, candid, and hopeful: if the good gods win, maybe music still can bring us together—and Fish might be the vehicle. We also swap lyrical misfires (hello, “nappy nappy Bonaparte”), compare Clubhouse vs. Spaces vibes, reminisce about budget 90s hostel life, and celebrate Europe’s traveler hospitality. Underneath the tangents is a through-line: tools, incentives, and culture matter—whether you’re mixing a podcast live, stewarding a monetary network, or nurturing a scene that can actually scale without losing its soul.
