Listen to our daily conversations as we explore the most fascinating topics this wonderful world has to offer us and experiment to develop LOOTB into something that's, well, out of the box.

216. Art = Innovation?
Monday May 31, 2021
Monday May 31, 2021
"Art is not about likes, feelings, and expressing the self. Art is about statements of innovation. Only after those statements, those feelings and expressions will be worth understanding." -Pak
In today's episode, we discuss the above statement and break it down word by word to determine whether or not we think art really does = innovation. To our surprise, as we each bring up some historical examples of artists and why their works were so influential—the answer seems to emerge and become profoundly clear.
Innovation and art are certainly entangled in their own way and have been intertwined for ages—perhaps these statements of innovation get to the heart of why certain art and artists transcend generations and continue to impact artistic creativity in the present and future.

215. How Honest Is Too Honest?
Sunday May 30, 2021
Sunday May 30, 2021
In today's episode, we discuss a podcast episode we recently heard of another couple talking with each other about life to try to figure out why their unfiltered/raw/honest conversation bothered us so much (that we had to turn it off!). This got us thinking—is there a limit to how honest people should be towards others (especially their significant other) in public, particularly when it comes to how they express their negative emotions? Tune in to hear our thoughts and the interesting conclusions we come to.

Saturday May 29, 2021
Saturday May 29, 2021
Attempting to get at the truth means rejecting stereotypes and cliches.
In today's episode, we discuss our preconceived thoughts on the city of Miami—before ever visiting. This is a little experiment for us to challenge our own biases prior to our road trip to Miami for a week! We'll do a follow-up episode to record our thoughts on Miami after we've actually experienced it ourselves.

Friday May 28, 2021
Pak _burn(A Cube) --> 0x0 = {$ASH}
In today's episode, we discuss the digital art performance that blew our mind recently — burn.art by Pak. We've talked about Pak and the genius system they created through The Fungible NFT drop on Nifty Gateway, but today we talk about our experience participating in their performance through burning our "A Cube" NFT to receive Pak's exclusive new fungible token $ASH.
If you're interested to learn how the future utility of NFTs (non-fungible tokens) might evolve, you'll want to tune into this one. Information here is not easy to find on google right now, so if you listen to this podcast in the month of May 2021, congrats you are very early to the game friends.

{ Private > Public } ?
In today's episode, we discuss how one can protect themselves from becoming the target of a hacker/hack—both in real life (IRL) and online. Security and privacy have always been important, but they are more vulnerable than ever... so this is a PSA to ensure that our LOOTB tribe is equipped with the knowledge and tools to protect themselves (and each other!) for years to come. :)
