Ungovernable MisfitsHearts On Fire | PMM 17In this episode of PMM, Jon & Max reflect on what the show has been, what it is, and where they want to take it next. They talk candidly about ditching rigid prep and Bitcoin-only rails to embrace broader, real‑world building: skills, tools, community, and practical sovereignty. From Jon's first local educational event with Fundamentals and Shadrach, to celebrating the high‑functioning doers in the Meshtadel, the focus is shifting toward action over theory—featuring people who actually build things, run businesses, and strengthen local resilience.

They dig into keeping speech free via open RSS, the practical trade-offs of centralized platforms, and how value-for-value actually works in the wild—from Lightning boosts to Monero tips, funding tags and fiat donation pages. Barry shares Podhome’s ethos (don’t deplatform lawful speech), its all‑in features for creators, and what’s next on the product roadmap.

Ungovernable MisfitsWe All Eat | The Confab 25: ChetIn this confab, Max catches up with Chet—long-time friend of the show, pleb miner mafia stalwart, and one of the most hands-on mining pioneers around. We reflect on the evolution from pleb to pioneer, the value of craft mastery, and the realities of living like a “mining monk” to keep uptime high. Chet opens up about humility in markets, his thesis on used miner pricing, why community matters more than adulation, and how building a circular economy means choosing who you spend your sats with.

Ungovernable MisfitsThey Fear Our Flight, Not Our Fall | PMM 16In this candid, free‑wheeling conversation, Jon and Max explore what happens when people who simply want to be left alone are pushed too far—and how that pressure cooker connects to young men, internet culture, and real‑world resilience. They reflect on the importance of physical labour, sport, mentorship, and male rites of passage as antidotes to fragility and online cattiness. From dogs and pecking orders to construction sites, ranges, and rugby pitches, they draw lines between embodied challenges and the concept of bullying. Jon and Max close with a heartfelt tour through listener boosts, a poetic field report from a...
