In the eighth episode of season five, we are doing something a little different. Instead of me interviewing someone else with Andy or Benny, they are interviewing me.

We go deep on the seven stages of grief, the importance of pseudo anonymity, trading psychology, compounding relationships, the transition from playing video games for 12 hours a day to crypto, and more

We're excited to announce that the rest of Season Five is now powered by Towns! Built on Base and running on River, Towns is a decentralized and permissionless group chat app that allows anyone to create & own digital town squares on their own rules. Available on web and iOS with full end-to-end encryption, users can join or create feature-rich Towns with native on-chain gating, paid memberships and more with tons of exciting features & rewards coming soon. We'll also be doing a little collabing with our friends at SHILLR in a joint Town for our communities so make sure to tap in to get access to some Towns exclusive giveaways, rewards and more.

In the seventh episode of Season five, we are joined by the one and only Xer0x. Xer0x is one of my favorite artists and his work incorporates a mix of painting, 1-bit pixel art, retro hue cycle techniques and both traditional and new glitch techniques.

We dive deep into the power of anonymity and how it shapes his artistic identity, what it was like growing up in Iran, his views on the absurdity of memecoins and general crypto culture, what artistic success looks like for him, and so much more.
