WIPsgiving was a banger
December 06, 2023 23:12 - 33 minutes - 45.7 MBDon't forget about taxes boys and girls. That was the main message at the top of today's show in a segment we've tentatively started calling "Trislit Time." But for real, don't sleep on crypto taxes. If you have no where to start, check out AwakenTax. It's free until March 1st 2024, simple to use, so far very accurate, and noob friendly. Not finacial advice yadda yadda any other disclaimers we need to add. Following that impromptu start of the show, Matthew & Rizzle dive into the feast that...

Using future tech for maximum weirdness
November 16, 2023 00:16 - 45 minutes - 62.4 MBThis week's episode of the Matthew & Rizzle Show kicks off with a preview of an absolutely epic WIP Meetup slated for tomorrow.

We are SO back. Here's why.
November 01, 2023 22:05 - 38 minutes - 52.4 MBTo kick off this week's episode, Matthew & Rizzle hit folks across the head (for like the millionth time) reminding everyone about the epic WIP Meetup that took place last Thursday which saw $5k in NFT prizes provided and distributed by an #anonsnail. That re-cap paves the way for a conversation focused on our burgeoning onchain reality using Elon Musk's recent (partially correct) comments on NFTs as a guest on the Joe Rogan Experience as a jump off point that somehow ends with some deep c...
Another icon gone, but not forgotten
October 25, 2023 23:04 - 34 minutes - 47.6 MBWe love you, Async.Art. Long live Async.Art. This week's episode of the Matthew & Rizzle Show starts off with a somber reflection of Async.Art, the revolutionary programmable art project that just announced they will be winding down of their business a few days ago. The two original co-founders, Conlan & n0shot, are dear friends dating back to Cent days, so this news hits especially hard. Matthew & Rizzle talk about the highlights of the project and discuss how hard startup life and found...
The WIP Be Picking Up
October 18, 2023 21:33 - 33 minutes - 45.7 MBThis week Matthew & Rizzle recap the past few months of the WIP and the buzz around it that has been growing.

A polarizing debate erupted all over and around crypto twitter yesterday after the maestro Matt Kane revealed his serialized collection "Contractual Obligations" to 250 SR Rare Pass holders. Rizzle and Matthew wade into the exciting waters and try to cast light across the full spectrum of the debate. Regardless of whichever side of the debate you may fall on, one fact remains true: Matt has us all talking about art again. Shout-outs & Shots-fired: @MattKaneArtist...
We Are The Lore
September 27, 2023 20:21 - 41 minutes - 56.6 MBWe're back after a brief hiatus (all Rizzle's fault with him heading down to Austin, TX doing important things with Found3r). To kick things off we dive into the reason why we took a week off - said important irl meetup in Austin, TX led by David All and the Found3r team who are focused on the real, human stories of web3. The conversation branches off from there to cover the differences between putting on irl meetups versus url gatherinds and the amazing energy that is re-emerging around...

[4 Yr Anniversary Episode] Rizzle Interviews Matthew (again)
August 31, 2023 00:24 - 46 minutes - 64.4 MBIT's kind of wild to think about, but today marks the four year anniversary of Rizzle reverse-spotlight interviewing Matthew on his podcast which immediately became the shared podcast yall know today as the Matthew & Rizzle Show. To mark this heroic (for crypto) milestone, Rizzle interviews Matthew (again) and asks him what he's been up to over the last four years which results in Matthew talking, a lot. Note: There are far too many names to shout-out and thank that have had a profound i...

Shout-outs & Shots-fired: @friendtech @clubhouse @BitClout @tryrollhq @zero________one @editionalapp @ludovica__rosi @co1born @museumofcrypto @cent @BuildOnBase @Hicetnunc...

We're so close (and no one is here to see it)
July 19, 2023 19:29 - 35 minutes - 30.5 MBThe boys are back from break and...are rather underwhelmed with what they missed (or rather didn't miss) over the last three weeks. Granted we are still firmly in peak vacation season, so no need to sound any alarms or anything. That said a few things of note that happened during the break were discussed: The Cent team airdropped the Valuable NFTweets minted way back in 2020 to everyone who collected those vintage NFTs (for more details check out this thread by Matthew); the surprisingly ...

Matt gives Rizzle NFC Summit FOMO
June 14, 2023 23:46 - 38 minutes - 53.6 MBThe title of this week's episode says it all. Matt is back fresh of the plane from Lisbon, Portugal where he attended the glorious NFC Summit with 5500+ other amazing human beings from around the world. There are a ton of shout-outs in this episode. Tons. Outside of conference highlights, Matthew & Rizzle dig into the elements that make certain conferences and events stand out and what makes others so uninspired and barely bearable, and talk about some of the strong alpha signals that were...
Did you know you can send ETH to anyone with an ETH address?!?
May 31, 2023 22:52 - 35 minutes - 48.1 MBThe crypto space feels like it regressed 5 years; but it only *feels* like that. We're actually in a much better place. It's just unfortunate the actions of a few despicable degens overshadows all the growth and development the space has made, especially in contrast with where we were during the last bear circa 2018~2020. I've said it and will continue to do so: folks need to make sure they disconnect from their URL lives and experience all the great things that IRL has to offer, especiall...

[Spotlight] Surfing the artistic waves of web3 with Alimo
May 24, 2023 06:40 - 33 minutes - 77.8 MBAhead of his upcoming Nifty Gateway drop, I had the pleasure of sitting down to record a very chill chat with the digital artist Alimo. Alimo has a lovely post-pop nature-themed drawing style that makes his work instantly recognizable. If you ever shopped at Patagonia, Apple, Nike, Volcom, among other places, chances are high that you've seen Alimo's work before. Over the course of our chat, we talk about Alimo's artistic journey that emerged early on alongside a passion for outdoor sports...
Proof of Work Amidst the NFT Land Holidaze
May 17, 2023 22:48 - 31 minutes - 43 MBIt sure seems like a lot of folks are on vacation. Like, not just from crypto and NFT lands, but in real life. Historically, in the period from May to the end of August, sales tend to slow down when it comes to the art-side of things. Couple that with an overall sluggish market and it makes sense that a lot of folks are starting longer vacations earlier. There is no need to be on 24/7 every single day. But that doesn't mean there's nothing going on. On the contrary, from mega corporations...
Web3 Onboarding: to prioritize, or not?
May 10, 2023 23:02 - 34 minutes - 47.7 MBMatthew & Rizzle do a little shitting on parades and stirring of pots on this week's episode of MARS. A non-trivial number of projects continue to innovate and push the envelope on what's possible in NFT Land amidst the current storm of $hitcoins and $memecoins, like Async.Art and their latest innovation: dynamic blueprints. That's great. That is exciting. For folks who've been in the space, we need this continued innovation. But most innovation is on-chain, and in times like these when gas...

May 05, 2023 20:52 - 42 minutes - 34.9 MBAhead of her upcoming genesis Nifty Gateway drop, I had the great fortune to grab some time and chat with the powerhouse young artist who goes by the artist name JisuArtist.

While still incredibly young, Jisu has already lived an amazingly unique and exciting career at the intersection of gaming and content creation prior to her entrance into the sphere of fine digital art and NFTs....
Blurred Lines at the $hitcoin & $memecoin Casino
May 03, 2023 23:45 - 36 minutes - 50.6 MBIt's officially $hitcoin szn (again) in crypto land. Matthew and Rizzle kick the show off talking about all the buzz around $PEPE before veering into far more interesting pastures talking about the ai-assisted twitter performance art that the Australia-based artist Rhett aka Mankind is engaging in with his $TURBO experiment. Also, folks looking for something fun and free, make sure you go claim your free edition of 'The Oath' by Trevor Jones on Nifty Gateway. Shout-outs & Shots-fired: @b...
