And now one thing, I didn't mention it on the last podcast because it hadn't become apparent to me, but I'd already mentioned to you and producer Mark that I was staying in the shittest hotel of all time.
As I said, like I mentioned it to you guys before the NFT convention, which I'm about to bring up.
And then you've got, you know, like, Coors, like, he makes those kind of horrid little streetwear mice-type statue things with all the different paintings on them and, like, Xs for eyes.
Imagine, like, a huge, in that aesthetic, like, a massive gummy bear and, like, a different, not Coors, I don't think, but, like, a different artist doing that same thing.
Because, you know, in, like, streetwear and, like, that kind of street art, world, there's like two aesthetics that everyone copies.
Quote unquote statues like that around, obviously some graffiti on the walls, a lot of like big pictures that are like words, like don't stop believing, but like with, you know, with a bit of grunge to it.
Basically, like if anyone's seen Dana White showing off his artwork video, which is a real good one.
This represents war.
War is obviously about killing with the knife and the gun.
War is all about money.
And in the clip are all the things we kill for.
Like real like suburbs of Manchester, new build, interior design by like British guys.
On one of the walls of TVs, there's multiple walls of TVs with quote-unquote art on them, there's all these basically like club-style shots.
And I was like, what the hell is going on here? It was advertising the doggonal dogs.
Well, sorry, we called them the doggonal dogs, me and the people I was there with for days.
Actually, I feel like my neural synapse is kind of like firing up to try to even like remember how any of this shit worked.
Like trying to be like, what the hell were you guys talking about? Like on Ethereum, I guess.
For whatever reason, Doginal Dog is a Dogecoin affiliated, the number one Dogecoin affiliated NFT collection of, would you believe, dogs, various pixelated dogs.
Can I just say it's a real unpleasant word? When you started posting photos and sending me photos of doggonal dogs, I was like, this is what you've dedicated your life to? This is the thing you're going to New York City to celebrate?
So people from all over the world, presumably, amassed in the frigging dream downtown Hyatt Hotel in order to go to doggonal dog fest.
Like, yeah, in big 2026, how are you? How are you doing this? How are you doing this? How are you seriously doing this? And it was a day of, so I was awoken on Wednesday because I've, you know, obviously jet lag, was falling asleep at 5 a.m.
I was awoken at 10 a.m. To the beach party that had started at the pool to, like, Snoop Doggy dog.
You know, on day two, because the beach party went from 10 till 5 or whatever, like all day, the beach party at, it was a pretty overcast New York few days, to be perfectly honest.
It's like, what the fuck are they talking about? Like, what could they possibly be talking about at the conference?
And then on, I don't know if it was the Thursday or the Friday, it must have been the Friday, they had like a...
Again, when you're talking about the fact that this was red hot during COVID-19.
Back in the day, you would have been able to get a few babes to come to an NFT party purely by virtue of the fact that's where the energy and the money was.
