[00:00:00] Out of Cycle Update.
[00:00:03] If true, it's a very unfortunate loss for the impressionist community here. CryptoTalk FM. My name is Leister. I'm your host. I heard a rumor. I don't know if it's true. That's why I'm calling it a rumor. Don't come at me. I heard a rumor. This was stated as a rumor. I was looking around and then I saw a little bit of tiblets of evidence that seemed to correlate this as truth. I can't say that it is, but this is what I was seeing. Then I noticed a post on the. I think it's the block tag. It's something on. I know it was Reddit. I think it's a block tag, Investors Reddit or something that said, hey, we think that. They said, we think Nick Vandenberg, Nick Vander idiot, for those that follow me@CryptoTalk FM, that apparently he's gone from the project and he has a big red X over his face. He's still on the site, last I checked, but they're saying that they had information that he was gone. So I went and checked his LinkedIn. His LinkedIn does seem to indicate that blockdag is not his current employer. Now, of course, LinkedIn is the shits. So it's possible that vendor Idiot just doesn't keep LinkedIn up to date. That's possible. I checked his X account, though. His X account, all the posts. I thought he was posting pretty irregularly. All the posts are gone. Far as I could tell. I'm not. I don't have an account on there, but when I look through just normal browsing, all the posts were gone. And it didn't show Block Dag as his current employer or nothing. There was nothing Block Dag mentioned anywhere. So if it's true that Nick Vander idiot is gone from Block Dag, let's. Let's talk about what that means. Well, first of all, I wanted him gone for the marketing. I said that he is one of the two cancers left on this business because I thought he was the one that was in charge or that he was a proxy for good on Kizidos. But ideally, I wanted him off the marketing. Yeah, I.
[00:01:45] I didn't want the guy gone from the project. You know, he could. He could have done. He seemed like he was really good on the logistics. You know, maybe you could put him in the mail room, have him ship out the miners that people were waiting on. He seemed like he enjoyed doing that. He seemed like he was good doing that seemed like he was capable of printing a label on a DHL package and getting it out the door pretty competently. So I, I didn't have a problem with keeping around to help get those minors out the door. You know, when Turner did the walkthrough of the building, showed all those miners in that side room. And remember vendor idiot, he did that video and he's in a mail room with some guy holding a package, holding one of the miners. I, you know, I didn't have a problem having vendor idiots shipping out minors and doing mailroom behavior. I just, I felt like they should keep him away from the marketing. That's all I was pushing for, you know, keep him off the damn marketing. But I didn't want him gone. And you're like, well, why are you defending them? It's not defense, people. I just, I wanted him off the marketing. I never want to see somebody get fired like that. I. It's not that he was competent. Sure. It's not that he was good at his job, of course. It's not that he was a value asset. It's not that he was adding to the project. I understand that he had a lot of significant negatives, but you have to look at it from my lens. From my lens.
[00:03:00] I, I don't like to see people get fired like that. I really don't.
[00:03:05] And plus, you know, I was hoping, and I knew it was kind of naive of me, but I was hoping that at least one of these situations with Vander Idiot going up on these shows and over talking this alleged CEO and doing all that, that, you know, maybe he would step up and he would say, you know, what was really going on behind the hood and he was telling the truth about good unquijeros and he would drop the dime, that he would be more transparent, that he would try harder, that he would push come. Because say what you will about Vander Idiot, at least he can talk better than Turner. Because Turner, he actually called out. If Binance stuff's hearing this, he actually called out the whole, yeah, I tend, I do tend to shake. So he, I showed my cards. So he's listening to you, so that's cool. But I was hoping that, you know, Vander Idiot would just, he would just fix his stuff. Like I said, I didn't want to fire, I just wanted to fix your stuff. And I understand what he was trying to say.
[00:03:57] It just, it didn't resonate with the actions. The actions didn't match what he was stating.
[00:04:02] I've been in marketing for over 30 something years and me getting fired is just absolutely unacceptable. And I just felt bad.
[00:04:09] So if it's true, and I don't know that it's true, but if it's true that Vander idiot was fired from Block Dang, we wish him well in his future endeavors, whatever it is. Again, apparently he went back to that other company. I think it's a web3 gaming something or other, but apparently that's what it is. And then, you know, you know that means we're stuck with more of Turner stuttering and not answering questions and lying through his teeth and shuffling around for the foreseeable future.
