  None. Hey guys, welcome to the live
• 0:30
  stream. Welcome to the basement Horns up
• 0:32
  dusters, huh? We got a lot to be very, very
• 0:35
  happy about. I'm going to tell you something
• 0:37
  right now. It hit me last night like a ton
• 0:39
  of bricks. Oh and by the way, I'm sorry I'm
• 0:42
  late. I had a little wardrobe
• 0:44
  malfunction. I'll tell you more about that
• 0:46
  later. My elbow burst through the
• 0:48
  shirt, so I had to fix it. Anyway, that's why that iron is
• 0:52
  right there, in case you see blocking our friend the Penguin
• 0:55
  from Pengu. Anyway, it hit me last night
• 0:57
  like a ton of bricks. You know, when that happens,
• 1:00
  you're just kind of sitting there and it hit me like super
• 1:03
  strong because I'm always thinking about you.
• 1:06
  UFD us, we together. And I was like, you know what?
• 1:11
  But here's why, Because I was reading something about how the
• 1:14
  meme coin sector has been pretty much, I hate to say it like over
• 1:19
  over all, not us, not Unicorn fart does, but overall kind of
• 1:24
  decimated in the last year, right?
• 1:26
  Like I've been in this business for about one year and I can
• 1:29
  tell you things were much different one year ago.
• 1:31
  They go in cycles, they go in phases.
• 1:34
  I would say, I'm not a financial advisor.
• 1:37
  Do your own due diligence, be responsible, but I would from my
• 1:41
  experience and markets over the years, things go through cycles,
• 1:45
  things go through ups and downs. So I'm reading this article
• 1:48
  about how bad it is in the crypto world in general, but in
• 1:51
  particular because when the crypto world in general catches
• 1:55
  a cold, right? The the the meme coin sector,
• 1:58
  which is more volatile, it like it's a bad case of pneumonia or
• 2:03
  the flu or something like that. So I was thinking about our
• 2:07
  project and I was like, we can be the project.
• 2:10
  Not only can we be the project, but we are being the project.
• 2:14
  Later on we're going to talk about yesterday we had a
• 2:17
  billboard in Times Square. Check.
• 2:19
  OK, we've got new IP. You saw that at the beginning of
• 2:22
  this of this live stream introduction.
• 2:25
  Check. We just had our one year
• 2:27
  birthday. I was looking somewhere and it
• 2:29
  like next to UFD, it says there's like a badge that says
• 2:33
  one year. You know, look in the crypto
• 2:36
  sector that's a big deal. In the meme coin sector, that's
• 2:39
  even a bigger deal, OK. And it shows that we are here to
• 2:43
  stay. It, it just hit me like we could
• 2:46
  be the meme coin when the dust settles, right?
• 2:49
  When the dust settles, right? There's going to be a few meme
• 2:53
  coins. Crypto Victoria, who I really
• 2:56
  like and have a lot of respect for.
• 2:58
  Last time I talked to him, he said this like there's going to
• 3:00
  be certain coins, certain projects that go into the meme
• 3:05
  coin Hall of Fame. You know, all the shenanigans
• 3:09
  and legal stuff going on right now in the meme coin sector.
• 3:12
  We are above the fray. We have done everything,
• 3:15
  everything above the board. We've been probably too
• 3:19
  transparent, if that's possible, right?
• 3:22
  We've been honest and and acted with integrity.
• 3:27
  Oh my gosh, in the meme coin sector.
• 3:29
  Are you kidding me? Look, I hate to have to say
• 3:32
  this, but I've been around for a year, so I guess I can start
• 3:35
  speaking my mind a little bit, right?
• 3:37
  There's a lot of crap that goes on in the meme coin sector.
• 3:41
  A lot of almost just pure thievery at the bat at the worst
• 3:45
  end, and a lot of weird manipulation and, and a lot of
• 3:49
  the rest of it. There are some great people, no
• 3:53
  doubt about it, right? There are some other great
• 3:55
  projects, but you know what I'm talking about, right?
• 3:58
  Buttercup dusters. Are you a duster or are you a
• 4:02
  buttercup? Anyway, the good news is, right,
• 4:07
  we are. We are resilient, we are strong,
• 4:10
  we are continuing to build. We have digital scarcity.
• 4:14
  We got it all. Here, let me pull this up and
• 4:17
  then I'll tell you about this situation I had this morning
• 4:21
  with my garment malfunction. My main garment manager.
• 4:24
  Here we go. I want to pull this one up from
• 4:27
  our friend Resilient Jack. Simple but powerful, he said.
• 4:30
  I don't know, I just keep having fun with my community and
• 4:35
  eventually I'm sure we'll get lucky with our UFD because we
• 4:39
  ain't giving up. We thrive during this dip.
• 4:42
  Study the builders. And that's so true.
• 4:44
  I love that's our new IP, OK, which is ours.
• 4:47
  It belongs to us legally. OK, again, that's something else
• 4:52
  that sets us apart. But the big thing, it also sets
• 4:55
  us apart part is we are fighters.
• 4:58
  We have grit, we have determination.
• 5:00
  You know, I've live streamed every day now for 368 days.
• 5:04
  Whatever the heck it is, doesn't matter.
• 5:06
  You're showing up, right? We've got people that were in
• 5:09
  our in our community, get busy in real life, come back, people.
• 5:13
  We don't give up, all right? We're not giving up.
• 5:16
  We've not given up, right? All we can do is control today,
• 5:20
  right? And that's what we're doing, and
• 5:21
  we're out there spreading the dust.
• 5:23
  And the great news is this. Great communities are built
• 5:29
  during difficult circumstances. That's a fact.
• 5:33
  OK, so when things are good and everything's pumping, that's
• 5:37
  great, right? But the actual core, the actual
• 5:40
  foundation of any great community is built during
• 5:44
  difficult times. And let's not sugarcoat it.
• 5:46
  Let's not throw Jelly beans and say, oh, everything's great.
• 5:49
  No, right, it's not. The crypto market is going
• 5:52
  through a very difficult period right now and the the meme coin
• 5:57
  sector is challenged even more. But we continue to build our
• 6:01
  horns. We continue to do the right
• 6:04
  things. It's a big deal.
• 6:05
  Keep it up. We can be the coin.
• 6:07
  We got heart, we got passion. I got all these notes, but I'm
• 6:10
  just kind of blurting it out to you.
• 6:12
  OK, here we go. He a little little pick me up
• 6:15
  this morning. We're going to go to double
• 6:17
  feature of Resilient Jack this morning, he said.
• 6:20
  Woke up feeling extra bullish. OK, I must be a Unicorn.
• 6:23
  Christmas spirit. Big shout out to everyone still
• 6:26
  out there holding on, creating unity, friendship and
• 6:30
  development. And let's pause that.
• 6:33
  And I got to share the right screen.
• 6:36
  Hold on. OK, there we go.
• 6:38
  All right, let's hear what Resilient Jack has to say.
• 6:41
  For seven seconds, there's a picture of Resilient Jack's
• 6:44
  ceiling at his house. Here we go.
• 6:49
  Yo dusters waking up in like. Yo dusters waking up in like.
• 7:03
  OK, we have a, but this, this project, everything I've already
• 7:06
  said, I promise I won't repeat it.
• 7:08
  Susie calls me a repeater, Ron, right.
• 7:10
  But we have been exposed for a year to the crypto world.
• 7:14
  We have grown this unbelievable core community, right?
• 7:18
  But there's people out there, there are some great, great,
• 7:21
  great people out there who have become prodigal dusters.
• 7:26
  But I don't like that term. I've said that before.
• 7:27
  Like somebody who leaves the herd and then comes back and
• 7:31
  they're the prodigal duster. I was thinking, guys, I think we
• 7:34
  have, I think we have a big secret resource that could
• 7:38
  really help us down the road. This just came to me this
• 7:41
  morning. I'm going to put it to our, our,
• 7:43
  our team of people that are that are working on the website and
• 7:47
  all this great stuff that's going on from a, from a
• 7:50
  structural perspective in our project, which is very good,
• 7:53
  very, very good. And see how they, and I want
• 7:56
  your, your feedback on this as well, because there's a lot of
• 7:59
  people out there who maybe bought UFD, were active in the
• 8:03
  community and then things happen in their life, maybe whatever,
• 8:06
  you know, or, or maybe they, maybe they sold their UFD and
• 8:10
  officially breed buttercup themselves.
• 8:13
  But I think that it would be cool if we had a section on our
• 8:17
  website and I think our website might be the but just an idea.
• 8:21
  I want to get your feedback on this.
• 8:22
  Where we called, we called it. I've got a couple different
• 8:25
  different things where we can write messages to these people.
• 8:28
  I'm sorry, I'm all over the place this morning.
• 8:30
  But you know, people that we know we're part of our
• 8:33
  community, people we care about and that we can show them right
• 8:37
  on this area of our website. Like, hey, we just want to make
• 8:40
  sure you're OK or hey, we want you to know that we miss you and
• 8:44
  we'd love for you to come back and to the Unicorn fart dust
• 8:47
  Family Guy, cuz we got there's so much good that we can offer.
• 8:51
  So I thought maybe we could call it the silent dusters, but I got
• 8:55
  some better ideas, I think. Then I thought we could make a
• 8:57
  section called like wanted, you know, those old Wild West wanted
• 9:01
  posters like have a wanted like like Unicorn fart dust top 10
• 9:06
  most wanted missing dusters. OK.
• 9:09
  And that's what I thought we could call it, right?
• 9:11
  Like a missing, a missing dusters, like top 10 missing
• 9:14
  dusters, like we just, we just really want to know you're OK.
• 9:18
  But we'd love for you to come back to the herd 'cause I think
• 9:20
  of people and I'll name like one name somebody who, who's, who's
• 9:24
  awesome. And I'm not mad.
• 9:26
  Nobody's mad. Nobody's whatever.
• 9:28
  And, and people can do whatever they want with their lives.
• 9:30
  You, me, any of us, right? We choose to be here.
• 9:33
  This is not like it's a family or a community.
• 9:37
  That's a, that's a, you ever heard that word used?
• 9:40
  Community. Community not a cult.
• 9:42
  I'm sorry I don't like cult cults.
• 9:46
  I think tell people how to think and we never tell people how to
• 9:49
  think. People are welcome to think
• 9:51
  however they want. OK, but when we come.
• 9:53
  But the one thing we will say when we come to UFD, all that we
• 9:57
  ask is that we set aside divisive things like politics,
• 10:01
  religion, whatever it is, right? When we're in, I mean, we're not
• 10:04
  I'm not, we're not telling you to set it aside in your life.
• 10:07
  You think whatever you want. But when you come into UFD, set
• 10:11
  those things aside, right? And put your horn on and focus
• 10:15
  on good attracts good. Because at the core, no matter
• 10:17
  if you're a, if you're a hardcore conservative or a very
• 10:23
  liberal, that's great, right? We're all good people.
• 10:25
  I believe that anyway, I thought it would be cool to have like a
• 10:29
  missing, maybe call it missing dusters, right, and have like
• 10:33
  the top ten like wanted. I don't know.
• 10:36
  I think that, well, here's why I said that because there were a
• 10:40
  couple of people that I was missing.
• 10:42
  And just in the last few days, I saw that they posted on the
• 10:45
  timeline and it was really great to see.
• 10:48
  Here's the first one. OK, the burger man.
• 10:50
  And he wrote a really nice thing about UFD and about about myself
• 10:55
  and about Susie. But there's the burger man,
• 10:57
  right? We love the burger man.
• 10:59
  Yeah, he's a, he's the UFD burger man.
• 11:02
  You know the story. He lives in the Philippines.
• 11:04
  He made some videos giving away hamburgers to people with his
• 11:08
  own funds in the Philippines with UFD, you know, people would
• 11:12
  hold up their UFD signs and really great.
• 11:14
  It was real. It's really great to know that
• 11:16
  he's doing OK, right? I know he had some things that
• 11:20
  he was dealing with in real life and, and we love him and it was
• 11:24
  great to see him. And then I saw this character.
• 11:30
  Excuse me, pop back up. Where's the Riz Tony?
• 11:34
  And I met him in person in Las Vegas last year.
• 11:38
  And I got to share the right tab.
• 11:39
  There we go. I mean, like, like just a great
• 11:43
  guy, you know, like the like somebody that I trust is much
• 11:47
  pretty much is I would feel like I could trust as much as I could
• 11:50
  trust anybody, right? And yeah, I don't know.
• 11:52
  I'm that great. But I got to spend some time
• 11:55
  with him and it's great. I mean, these are like really
• 11:57
  good quality people, number one that we, we, we always, you
• 12:01
  know, stay in touch with us guys, Let us know you're doing
• 12:04
  OK. And of course, right, we want
• 12:06
  you to be part of the UFD community.
• 12:09
  If that's what you and and they are they both these two people
• 12:12
  both still are. So anyway, I got off on a on a
• 12:15
  tangent. Let's go check out this next
• 12:18
  from the madman. And why did I bring this up?
• 12:21
  Because I was going through the timeline last night and it's
• 12:24
  real simple. UFD is the number one meme coin
• 12:27
  right now, but I looked at the actually, I used this in the
• 12:30
  thumbnail for today's. I was like our IP guys, we have
• 12:34
  our is cool. I mean, I'm sorry, that is very,
• 12:38
  very cool. I just, do you love it?
• 12:42
  I mean, we've got nothing but positive feedback.
• 12:44
  I've heard nobody say, oh, I mean, the people that worked on
• 12:47
  the IP project from the legal side, from the art side, from
• 12:51
  the administrative side, just did an incredible job.
• 12:55
  And I was involved a little bit. But don't give me credit for
• 12:58
  this. This was from the community.
• 13:01
  And I just love it. And it's ours.
• 13:03
  That's our Unicorn. We own it, OK, And it belongs to
• 13:08
  us and things. Can you know?
• 13:12
  Anyway, I guess it'll be interesting to see now that we
• 13:15
  have legally have our own IP, what types of interesting
• 13:19
  developments. I don't know.
• 13:21
  I get a big smile here. You know what we need to do,
• 13:24
  Dusters? Uh oh, hold on.
• 13:26
  Little tech issue. Little tech issue.
• 13:29
  I'll be right there. I'll be right there.
• 13:31
  There we are. Now I see you.
• 13:34
  Let's do a three second smile when I say goat.
• 13:36
  We're all going to smile for three seconds.
• 13:38
  GOAT. Yeah, and I'll try not to talk.
• 13:43
  It feels good to smile. OK, try it again.
• 13:46
  Right now. Smile for three seconds.
• 13:48
  But I smile when I see that IP because it's beautiful and it's
• 13:52
  us and it's ours. And you know what?
• 13:55
  It's a It's a madman double feature.
• 13:57
  I got another one from the madman.
• 14:00
  Here we go. He said you need a strong
• 14:02
  community that will never give up Unicorn fart dust is that
• 14:05
  community over a year of building, posting and spreading
• 14:09
  Unicorn farts. And there's there's our there's
• 14:12
  our Unicorn knocking out the bear right again, guys, yes, you
• 14:17
  know what we are doing right now?
• 14:19
  We are like we're like like setting up a lemonade stand when
• 14:23
  it's like 15° outside and there's snow coming down.
• 14:28
  But we're building our lemonade stand and we know when the
• 14:30
  weather changes right and people and money starts coming back
• 14:34
  into crypto. I looked most recently, I think
• 14:37
  the total crypto market, crypto market market cap last I looked
• 14:43
  was around like $3 trillion, which is down pretty much I
• 14:48
  think last year, not right at this point it got to like 3.54
• 14:51
  trillion. So when things turn around,
• 14:53
  we'll be in good shape. Let us now let's look at the
• 14:58
  big, the big thing yesterday, right?
• 14:59
  We had a a, a, a, a billboard in Times Square.
• 15:04
  Even Susie and I, one of our nieces that lives in Manhattan,
• 15:07
  she went and looked, made a video, sent it to us.
• 15:10
  Unbelievable exposure. It was a community driven
• 15:13
  effort. I read off all the names of the
• 15:14
  people that made it happen twice now.
• 15:17
  So but if you're part of it, if you were part of that core group
• 15:20
  that made it happen, thank you, right.
• 15:22
  It's a big deal when we get to do things like this.
• 15:25
  And I want to show you really cool video of the the Billboard
• 15:32
  in Times Square. Hold on here.
• 15:34
  I'll get it on full screen for you.
• 15:37
  And it's about a minute long, but this is awesome.
• 15:40
  This is UFD. I'll try to keep my mouth shut.
• 15:43
  Oh, then I'll tell you about the how to fix your shirts.
• 15:54
  Times Square, New York City. I've never been there.
• 16:00
  I'm telling you, though, the duster will be in Times Square.
• 16:03
  The duster that I, I guarantee you at some point it will.
• 16:06
  It's actually talking to somebody.
• 16:08
  Yesterday I promised I wouldn't talk, but I am anyway.
• 16:13
  Who's lives in that area? We're talking about a really
• 16:17
  cool potential project. I'm like, I'm bringing the
• 16:19
  duster to New York City. Mark my word.
• 16:22
  David Golkstein, I promised him it does get the first ride.
• 16:27
  And the only other person who may be in there for that first
• 16:30
  ride might be Savannah Guthrie. All right, go ahead. today.
• 16:45
  Here it is. Baby.
• 16:48
  New York, NY These Vagabond. Shoes.
• 16:56
  Are longing to stray right through the very heart of it.
• 17:05
  New York, NY. I want to wake up in a city that
• 17:15
  doesn't sweep and fine. I'm king of the hills top.
• 17:24
  Of the I love Eminem. These little.
• 17:28
  Man, that is incredible. Hold on.
• 17:33
  OK, makes me tear up. So yeah, we will be in New York.
• 17:41
  Absolutely. Oh, yeah.
• 17:44
  OK, let me switch. So you might be wondering the
• 17:46
  iron. So funny story this morning I go
• 17:48
  I put the green shirt. It was one of those mornings.
• 17:50
  You ever have one of those mornings?
• 17:52
  I don't know. I was I'm in my normal morning
• 17:54
  mind and then two of my computers for some reason
• 17:59
  wouldn't start and I'm panicked. I'm like what happened?
• 18:02
  I still I'm anyway it got it got worked.
• 18:04
  I went to get ready for the live stream and I'm getting all the
• 18:07
  notes and I go get my green shirt right.
• 18:10
  I put my green shirt on and boom my elbow blew out.
• 18:13
  And you can probably see it. This elbow blew out a couple of
• 18:16
  weeks ago. I've had this shirt for like 28
• 18:19
  years. I never throw anything away
• 18:21
  anyway, my elbow so it was ripped and my elbow blew out and
• 18:25
  I thought, oh, I wonder if I can fix that.
• 18:27
  I know I have some Bondex iron on patches.
• 18:31
  So I went out to the Internet and I thought, I wonder if
• 18:33
  there's any videos about how to fix your how to fix your your
• 18:38
  clothing with a Bondex iron on patch And look what I found This
• 18:41
  guy's interesting. This is from six years ago and
• 18:47
  he has now had 21,000 views on this video.
• 18:52
  I'll show you a few seconds of this guys.
• 18:54
  This was probably one of my first 50 YouTube videos that I
• 18:58
  ever made. I apologize, but it is about a
• 19:01
  Bond X iron on patches. Yeah, I used them on.
• 19:10
  I was 50 toilet seats back there.
• 19:16
  See it? There's the patch.
• 19:22
  Oh, hold on. I'm not.
• 19:25
  Oh, sorry, guys. We'll go there for my.
• 19:26
  Thank you, Susie. I'm pretty hard on my clothes,
• 19:31
  but sorry guys, Very, very happy with them.
• 19:33
  So I'm going to show you what it looks like on the outside.
• 19:40
  Yeah, so I showed how you iron on the patches.
• 19:42
  That's where the RIP is. And there's where the RIP was.
• 19:45
  See a couple loose threads, but I'll guarantee you this will
• 19:49
  hold up and I'll get a lot more life out of each chance because
• 19:52
  I'm not into my first 100. You 2-3 years old.
• 19:55
  I like my jeans to be. But I'll tell you what, the
• 19:58
  reason I knew it was still out there is because I still get
• 20:01
  emails and messages from people thanking me.
• 20:04
  About this video because they were able to salvage a lot of
• 20:07
  their clothing. Anyhow, let's go here.
• 20:11
  I'm almost out of patches real quickly.
• 20:12
  I'll tell you what I discovered this morning.
• 20:14
  I purchased them at Walmart in the past.
• 20:17
  I don't personally like to go to Walmart, but I will go there for
• 20:22
  my forgot to comb my hair on decks iron on patches.
• 20:26
  So I went on the eBay and Amazon anyway and mostly knees on pants
• 20:32
  and elbows. I blown my elbows out on a lot
• 20:34
  of my shirts yes you do my shirts like polo.
• 20:37
  You know long sleeve shirt yeah like the one I have so anyway,
• 20:39
  this is how you use it You first you have to get your patches get
• 20:42
  your patches type again. The bondex iron on patch comes
• 20:46
  in 5 by 7. So I I cut this one in half.
• 20:50
  Poop, poop. You have to make sure your patch
• 20:53
  is bigger than your and you can go watch the video if you like.
• 20:58
  So that was why I was late this morning.
• 21:00
  There's the iron, excuse me, having some voice instrument
• 21:07
  issues and you too can fix your clothes.
• 21:10
  But hey, on a serious note, keep up the great work UFD, OK?
• 21:14
  This is a unique situation that we are in right now.
• 21:18
  We can be the coin, right? We can be the coin that makes it
• 21:23
  into the meme coin Hall of Fame and it's real easy, real simple,
• 21:28
  right? There's 999 million coins out
• 21:31
  there. There's a community behind this
• 21:34
  project like no other, OK? And that community can create
• 21:38
  utility that is essentially unlimited, OK?
• 21:42
  We've got more big things coming down the Pike.
• 21:46
  I think 2026, it can be a really crazy Goodyear for this project,
• 21:52
  especially with our new IP that we have out there and a number
• 21:57
  of other things. OK, Keep up the great work.
• 22:00
  Number one, don't forget, be good to yourself.
• 22:02
  That will give you a platform from which you can be good to
• 22:05
  other people. Thanks for spending some time
• 22:07
  down here in the basement with me.
• 22:09
  Happy holidays and I'll see you, yes you soon.
