Avi opens Episode 147 with “The Return of the Local Oracle,” a sermon on outsourced knowing, supply-chain truth, and rebuilding trust through people you can look in the eye: ranchers, butchers, and neighbors with gardens.

Tom Taber returns to unpack his work with the Beef Initiative, arguing that ranching culture runs on integrity, “cowboy code,” and accountability in a world he frames as increasingly Truman Show-ish.

They dig into the initiative’s mission: connecting consumers to ranchers (via beefmaps.com) while building something bigger. Tom explains that Texas Slim acquired beef.com, positioning it as a “digital ranch” with privacy protections and a marketplace for ranching trade beyond just beef.

The conversation turns to rebuilding independent micro-processing centers, and why Bitcoin capital can fund real-world infrastructure that saves ranches.

Sunday Brunch is your lightning-laced decompression chamber: no sermon, no prepared questions, just coffee, a record player, and a guest DJ, with Value-for-Value splits (90% of boosts/streams during songs go to the artist; talk-time splits go to the guest + show).

This episode’s guest is Rod Palmer (Bitcoin Bugle), spinning a playlist that sparks a wide-ranging riff on staying sovereign through the noise: “the remnant will subscribe,” waves of normie dilution, and why the frontier always keeps a core that survives every cycle.

Between tracks, Avi and Rod go from “slop culture” (AI-generated everything and the new “hurdle rate” for art) to modern “glazing” as a social currency, plus a youth-perspective detour via E-Cash Sailor, broccoli haircuts, and peak timeline absurdity.

Avi opens with a sermon on “embracing the outsider” and argues that the real mission isn’t winning debates, but building a parallel city, with art as core infrastructure and Bitcoiners as the new patrons.

Guest Dion Wilson, former professional dancer (including the touring cast of Disney’s The Lion King), shares his path from the demanding Broadway ecosystem into Bitcoin and launches Bitcoin for the Arts, a 501(c)(3) designed to support artists, institutions, and nonprofits with Bitcoin microgrants plus practical education on living and creating on a Bitcoin standard.

They talk NYC’s cultural cycles, fiat’s squeeze on artists (rising costs, stagnant artist pay), and a hopeful vision of a Bitcoin-driven Harlem renaissance.
