Gotta be honest with my fellow Nostriches, this one was one I almost passed on and was really concerned with platforming. It turned out to be a really good and fun episode, although I held my tongue a few times. Join Havok and LX on the Space Tomatoes Podcast for a hilariously funny chat with retired FBI Special Agent Eric Robinson. After 12 years as a Baptist pastor complete with stress headaches from carrying every congregant’s drama, Uno scandals, and a debut sermon on circumcision. Eric traded sermons for search warrants and became a fed anyway. He spills the beans on everything, botched SWAT breaches (couch blocked doors and eight swings of pure chaos), interrogation mind games that make Hollywood look ridiculous, drug ops, public corruption cases, and why pastors might just make the perfect feds. They roast Criminal Minds, debate the moral fine print on lying to bad guys, and preview Eric’s upcoming book *Irreverent: From Saving Souls to Chasing Sinners in the FBI*. Faith, firepower, poop filled basements (yuck), and non-stop banter this episode is pure gold. https://fountain.https//fountain.fm/episode/KtRBzI1gyYpEg7tOO8pvfm/episode/KtRBzI1gyYpEg7tOO8pv

The SpaceTomatoes man detests the long metal tubelike air transit because its ridiculous. Although Chicago from Charlotte in 2 hours beats a horsey ride for a week or more. Still, these things used to be cool, now they are the equivelant of the city bus, just stops are fewer and further between. #thoughtsnack

@Vitor Pamplona Can we get this stuff fixed before going down the road of onchain zaps? I like Amethyst but sheesh, half the time im looking at this stuff and other clients seem to do better with loading friendly names and content posted elsewhere. Also if im being a n00b and missing something feel free to say so. The npub username and the event loading or not found really take some of the joy out of things. 😁

We have a new visitor/resident on the farm, in the goose pond.

Duncan spills the beans on his “checkered past,” why he rocks the wizard look on Nostr, and how Bitcoin + Nostr are the ultimate middle finger to the powers that shouldn’t be. Expect zero BS talk on self-custody (“not your keys, not your coins”), peer-to-peer freedom, Mt. Gox lessons learned the hard way, mesh networks, Reticulum, Bitcoin meetups, and why using sats as actual money beats HODLing forever. Plus: colloidal silver machines that actually work, spontaneity vs. planning (surfing wins), epic taco rants, and a heartfelt shoutout to the real King. https://fountain.fm/episode/O1QhzBw6lEhrOTcyGazb

Goats are awesome, and they get themselves into the craziest predicaments. For example I present a goat with a "Better Bucket" (Horse bucket for feed), as a shirt??
