# LT3 #70 — Get The Message

**Host:** Superhighgasfees ❤️ (@SHGFees) with co-host Sho (@AgogoKaren) · **Date:** Sat, 11 Jul 2026 · **Duration:** 1:25:49 · **Speakers:** 5 active voices (plus intro music)

## TL;DR
- The stated topic was understanding people across all forms of communication — avoiding misunderstandings, listening over talking, and reading intent before reacting. [6:00]
- The room landed on **patience** as the real throughline: patience with people, with the space, and (for Chicken Wizard) with your own body and pain. [46:05]
- The conversation's live wire was a recent curated 11-piece "Wackyville" mint that Sho got into, which stirred FUD about only "top people" being selected. [48:03]
- Chicken Wizard drew a sharp line between **jealousy** (happy for the person) and **envy** (out to tear them down), and argued most floor-price noise is just envy dressed up. [53:07]
- Both Super and Sho admitted the mint messed with them emotionally — Super felt for those left out; Sho felt like "a fraud" for being picked. [1:07:41]
- Everyone signed off on the same note: celebrate other people's wins, don't check floor price, and hold (or flip and buy more of what you love). [1:03:41]

## Highlights

**Super frames the topic — NFTs as communication [6:00]** Super opened by arguing that buying an NFT "says" something a meme coin can't: the image, brand and ethos add a layer where the buyer is signaling that parts of that brand represent parts of themselves.

**Jburn joins, and immediately loses the plot [9:52]** Introduced as co-founder of Doomsayers, Jburn was warm and eager — and kept openly misplacing his own points mid-sentence, a bit that ran the whole session. He landed a real one anyway: you can't dodge confrontation or FUD, you can only control how you react and use that momentum. [22:02]

**Listening as the actual skill [12:28]** Super's core contribution: he used to be too eager to talk, missing what people said; the fix is staying calm, taking your time, and sometimes not responding right away just to soak it in.

**Sho's practical repair move [24:25]** Sho offered the simplest de-escalation tool of the night — just say, "this is what I heard you say, is that what you meant?" She also gently flagged Jburn's talk of "narrative" control, drawing the line at manipulation: authenticity means you don't have to bend the truth.

**Chicken Wizard on patience, Jenga, and pain [40:08]** Chicken shared that a raging-teenager past gave way to peace — first via a Buddhist friend and a game of Jenga at 16, then martial arts, which taught him to tolerate not just others but chronic physical pain (he lives with Crohn's and post-accident nerve damage).

**The Wackyville mint becomes the real conversation [48:03]** Sho, who minted, described the meanness swirling around the 11-piece curated collection. The group unpacked why: exclusivity creates value and inevitably leaves people out, and money always summons envy.

**Jealousy vs. envy [53:07]** Chicken's clearest framing: jealousy is wanting the win while being happy for the winner; envy is destructive — and it only exposes the envious person. He celebrated Sho's spot outright, "kitty table" self-deprecation and all. [52:57]

**Do you even like the art? [59:31]** Quoting Henry from CyberKongz, Chicken asked whether the FUDders would care at all if the collection floored at 0.01 ETH — and made the case that genuine collectors barely mention floor price.

**The emotional cost of a whitelist [1:07:41]** The most human stretch: Super said watching people feel "not good enough" reminded him of high-school friends who dropped him; Sho said the pick made *her* feel like a fraud, uncomfortable and quietly guilty rather than triumphant.

## Notable quotes

- "This is what I heard you say. Is that what it was meant as, or is that how you took it?" — Sho (@AgogoKaren) [24:25]
- "Would you actually still like the art if it wasn't worth anything?" — Chicken Wizard (@ChickenWizardX), quoting Henry from CyberKongz [59:31]
- "Now I'm just a chicken wizard... sitting here clucking and just like casting happy spells everywhere I go." — Chicken Wizard (@ChickenWizardX) [1:06:37]
- "If that was the opportunity me or chicken got it, that's what we'll be doing. We'll be buying more stuff and helping our ecosystems." — DaFameless (@DaFameless) [1:18:34]
- "I do want to say that I am not in the Epstein files." — Sho (@AgogoKaren), on a joke post about the minters [1:22:51]

## Who said what

- **Super (@SHGFees), host** — Set the "communication" theme; championed listening and slow responses; ended up using the space to work out his own conflicted feelings about the Wackyville mint and the people left out.
- **Sho (@AgogoKaren), co-host** — The grounded voice: misunderstandings are inevitable, so handle them honestly; offered the "what did you mean?" repair; candidly shared feeling like a fraud for being selected. Having "one of those days," and said so with humor.
- **Chicken Wizard (@ChickenWizardX)** — The philosopher-monologuist: patience via Jenga and martial arts, life with Crohn's, the jealousy/envy distinction, and a plea to celebrate wins. Also currently deep in a project to train ChatGPT on his NFT designs.
- **Jburn (@SupportJburn)** — First-timer to LT3, warm and self-aware; made the point about facing (not dodging) FUD and confrontation — between losing his train of thought, which became a friendly running gag.
- **DaFameless (@DaFameless)** — The comic realist: dropped in "just to say hi," but delivered the honest take that most people are simply happy someone they know won, and yes, he'd absolutely flip 4 ETH into more Fugs.

## Worth a full listen

- **[40:08–41:34]** Chicken Wizard's arc from a raging teenager (who once punched his dad) to finding patience through Jenga with a Buddhist friend and later martial arts — plus how that patience extends to living with chronic pain. It's the emotional heart of the episode and doesn't compress well.
- **[52:57–55:29]** The jealousy-vs-envy passage, where Chicken celebrates Sho's win while she deflects to the "kitty table" — a genuine, funny, and clarifying stretch on how communities handle each other's success.
- **[1:07:41–1:15:00]** Super and Sho comparing opposite emotional reactions to the same whitelist — one feeling for the excluded, one feeling like a fraud for being included. Honest, unguarded, and the truest version of the episode's actual theme.
