Ep.14 - Lucas & Nick

Let's get this to #10 on the Fountain Hot Episode Charts... @npub1unmftuzmk… , have you listened yet?

A great reminder to update my “Dear ______” file.

Thanks for all the great feedback. I could talk to Luke all day... about anything.

"You trust Bitcoin, and she trusts you."

Excellent rip gentlemen!

Is this the definitive "weed/leadership" #Bitcoin podcast? @npub1z9hy7a0n8… @npub17934d3gls… @npub1563z6kxmv… @npub153xmex42x… ❤️ J

Everyone needs a friend like @Boomer

What made you happy when you were a kid? Do those things as an adult.

Let me know when you guys decide what book we’re reading first

Embrace God's challenges.

Sometimes the right pod comes along at the right time!

Love this!

I appreciate the honest conversation. A couple real ones!

I hope everyone enjoys this. We touched on some pretty heavy stuff for me. I heard back tears twice. @npub1z9hy7a0n8…

It was great to catch up with @npub1z9hy7a0n8… . Dude, I'm so lucky to have you in my life, and I look forward to coming on RRR more often... maybe next time we can talk about Antarctica? The moon landing? The Book of Enok?

“He shoots it into his big fucking giant foot” I’m dying 😂

Top 3 RPB podcast of all time.

Every Leaf’s fan is like those three dudes in the stands in the movie Major League.

Fellow child ump here. The best job and the worst job. That was a trip down memory lane. We need an actual Stacker News World Baseball Classic: USA v. The World.

Three legends!

It was honor to talk to you guys about our crew up here in Ottawa. Meetups truely are the social layer to Bitcoin. Vires in Numeris

Top 20 - LFG! Appreciate you 🫡

“Worked up” Len, is the best version of Len! That growl and laugh at 11:59 of the second half was priceless. Never change! Appreciate you both 🫡

As someone who spends about 1/3 of their week on healthcare problems: this must listen! Fantastic rip @npub1w9dlp3nm3unua6es97nt3rfglkuz4lezvp6wlp48mjktu9f0jkdspl56ya

Really enjoyed all three releases this week!

Great conversation. Super respectful. Learned a bunch.

Absolutely loved this one. This was my Bitcoin Podcast of the week. Fundy kept it short, with a bunch haymakers on the mindset of Bitcoin/economics. @npub1kqrddzzl6…

I'm boosting for @npub1z9hy7a0n8… . He's the absolute best in the world at making thumbnails. He does ALL the editing and behind the scenes stuff. And he's paying for all the software. He's the absolute best.

The community stepping up the boosts. Love to see it!

Super insightful rip! 🫡

How many sats will it take to get @npub1w9dlp3nm3… and @npub1s63scxcxw… to the Sphere?

Looking forward to the CBP/RPB extravaganza 🫡

Pure signal!

@npub12eml5kmtrjmdt0h8shgg32gye5yqsf2jha6a70jrqt82q9d960sspky99g @npub19l2muzvelq07kfx8glfqmpf8jdcj2xp733rhjfc05t2g2mt9krjqrae40w Though I haven’t listed to this episode yet, I feel compelled to jump in. I knew BOTC was going to be engaging based on the subject matter. What I didn’t see coming was the 48-72 after each episode, diving back into the tracks and shows referenced in each pod, together with the memories and friendships. I’ve even reached out to a couple of folks from my crew I haven’t seen in 25 years. It’s been a real treat and I wanted to say thanks! I’ll be back for E.10 in a couple days. In the meantime: I’ve got 4 Island Tour shows re-familiarize myself with. Much Love.

"U Sports", formerly the CIAU (Go, U Sports!!), is our pathetic version of the NCAA. As far as I know, we don’t offer real financial or scholarship incentives for student-athletes. If anything, they’re more like small honorariums than actual scholarships. Hockey: @grayruby is right on the money here. Our young players chase opportunities in the CHL — that’s the WHL, QMJHL, and OHL — for ages 16–20.It might not be as much of a sure thing as it once was with the growth of USA Hockey, but when I was growing up, most NHL late-round picks or undrafted older kids from the CHL could reasonably expect to keep their hockey dream alive with a big scholarship or a free ride to a very good U.S. school. I honestly can’t think of a single player from U Sports/CIAU hockey who went on to the NHL. GPT-5 found a few — but with the exception of Joel Ward, “notable” should probably be in quotes: Derek Ryan, Logan Thompson, and Joel Ward – recent standout examples making the jump from U Sports to the NHL. Dr. Randy Gregg – University of Alberta Golden Bears alum (and actual doctor) with a solid NHL/AHL career. Bernie Wolfe – goalie from Sir George Williams University, 119 NHL games, MVP at the university championship. Andre Hidi – University of Toronto, 7 NHL games with Washington after earning U Sports national accolades. Kent Ruhnke – University of Toronto, brief NHL and WHA career, university championship MVP. Football: I’ve never played a down of competitive football, but I know it’s… complicated up here. High school and community teams generally play some variation of Canadian Amateur Football rules. Some use 3 downs. Quebec uses 4 downs, but still with the 1-yard line of scrimmage. Younger kids often use 4 downs to keep things moving. Community teams in Toronto and Vancouver sometimes use a hybrid of U.S. and Canadian rules. I have no idea how it all works, but it clearly hasn’t been a great recipe for producing elite players. We didn’t have football at my high school, but…

I appreciate you both!

@npub1w9dlp3nm3… I don’t always agree with your takes, but always respect your proof of work. Your segment on the mids barking at us to “buy Canadian” and “toughen up” hit the bullseye. I appreciate you both! 🫡

I appreciate you both more than you know! You are doing important work. 👊

Two absolute legends! 🫡
