Local Man Says He Wants ‘Real Notes’ On Crypto-Currency Podcast
Marfa, Texas — Local crypto podcaster Derek Lawson has shocked his friend group by making an unprecedented demand: he actually wants real feedback on his podcast, Crypto Kings: The Future of Finance. Lawson, who has been recording weekly episodes from his garage since 2021, has long relied on his close friends for encouragement, often sending them links followed by the familiar text, “Yo, lmk what you think!” His friends, in turn, have faithfully responded with their standard praise: “Great ep, bro!” “Killer insights!” and “Love the energy, man. Bullish!”—without ever actually listening.
But now, Lawson is raising the stakes.
“Guys, I need real notes,” he announced in their group chat on Monday. “Like, what’s working? What’s not? Do I say ‘blockchain’ too much? Should I stop calling myself a ‘thought leader’?” According to sources, the request was met with immediate silence, followed by a single message from his friend Jason: “Nah, bro, it’s fire. Keep doing you.”
Those close to Lawson described him as frustrated as he was seen pushing his friend Kyle Delson for “specific, actionable notes” later that evening at a local bar. Eyewitnesses from the bar noted that Delson managed to eek out a nervous “I mean, it’s good, man,” before taking a sip of his beer and adding “The guests are… uh… passionate. And I like how you keep it real. You know, just vibing.”
Bar patrons have confirmed that at this tense moment, Lawson, now described as “unhinged” and “frantic,” stated, “That’s not a note, Kyle. That’s just words,” before storming out of the bar. One eyewitness even mentioned that he dropped his phone on the way out.
Sources close to the friend group also reported that later that night, Lawson confronted the group during a Discord hangout, pleading, “Alright, level with me, do I need to mix the audio better? Do my intros run too long? Should I stop doing the bit where I call Bitcoin ‘Daddy Coin’?”
One casual gamer who had joined the Discord for a raid stated that after a long pause, “All hell broke loose.” Close friend to Lawson, Mike Dorson, chuffed, “Okay, if I’m being honest… I haven’t listened since episode three.” The unnamed gamer informant stated that one by one, Lawson’s friends admitted that while they always support him in spirit, actually listening to an hour-long, unscripted rant about “why the SEC is afraid of freedom” was beyond their capabilities.
At press time, Lawson was reportedly seen generating AI audience feedback and considering pivoting his podcast to a more engaging format—possibly by adding a co-host, incorporating sound effects, or simply switching to discussing UFO conspiracies, which, statistically, would double his listener count.
