Chapter 1: What is Crouton Jones and its concept?
We are, man. This is going into this year, man. This is the next big thing. Yeah.
This is going to be the next four years. It's going to get crazy for crypto. And I think that we've timed this launch of Crouton Jones perfectly, to be completely honest with you. I'm very, very excited.
Yeah, I'm pumped.
Bitcoin, $105,000.
New all-time high yesterday, right? Yeah, new all-time high. I saw that. I saw that. Trump's been stocking up on crypto.
I saw him buy like... Yeah, gotta do it.
Yeah, tens of millions of dollars of crypto added to the wallet. And now you got these big corporations adding to their wallets, right?
Yep, yep, exactly. It's just, you know, the more and more it starts to go mainstream and... Yes. You don't work on the regulations, work on the technology, you know, really filter out these scams and... dial in what this looks like for the digital world that we're going into.
It's just more and more mainstream people are going to get involved and you really see the institutional money really starting to flow in. It's very exciting.

Chapter 2: How are they using AI in the animation industry?
That's what we call it now. Does McDonald's still have the playgrounds? They're getting rid of them because of all the lawsuits and lost kids. Tons of both.
Yeah, that doesn't surprise me.
One usually leads to the other, they say.
Chapter 3: What makes Crouton Jones unique in the entertainment space?
I was actually a little scared of those playgrounds growing up. Were you? They seemed dirty and stuff.
You seem like a ball pit guy. You're very ball pit vibed up.
Yeah, I like ball pits.
I can see your hair kind of sticking through the ball pit, even though you thought you're hidden.
Yeah, ball pits are fine, man. We all see you, bro. Yeah, it's hard to hide the throw and the height, dude. Yeah, that's true. Wherever I go, I kind of stand out a little bit.
I imagine you at like a trampoline park, dude, doing like a double backflip, just dunk.
Yeah, I used to love those. Yeah. I haven't been in a while.
Bro, I did not realize that you were going to be this tall.
I get that all the time.

Chapter 4: What are the main challenges in building a Web3 entertainment empire?
Yeah, it was like the pre-internet show for sure. Absolutely. But going back to Crouton Jones, how did this thing start and what is it?
Man, you want to open up on the story because Travis is actually the originator.
Oh, yeah.
I'm going to have a little story about how this all began.
Awesome, yeah. So Crouton Jones, what it is, is first and foremost, it's an animated series, okay? And what we did was... You know, me and another partner of ours who's in on the project with us, Dennis Gleason, we wrote this storyline out of Crouton Jones kind of vaguely. And what Crouton Jones is, is he's a detective and it's shot in like the 70s era. And think Shaft, if you will.
I don't know what that is. OK, Shaft is like a old school, like real smooth pimp kind of like detective guy. OK, like he works with the police force, but he's not with the police force. Ladies man, like a ladies man, Batman, bro. Something like a Sherlock Holmes, kind of like a Sherlock Holmes. But if Sherlock Holmes is like a pimp.
Yeah. And he's a he's a bad dude.
Forget Watson and bring the ladies in. And a lot of respect. That's Crouton Jones. There you go.
Respect.

Chapter 5: How can the community participate in Crouton Jones?
It was thought about.
We thought about it and thought about it. And everybody told us, they said, if you don't do the pre-sale, y'all are doomed to fail. Every single company has told us this, right? But we believe in the community. That's the whole thing. That's the whole goal. We think that the community is looking for a good, solid project to get behind. And we're betting on that.
And if we're wrong, okay, sorry about it. I guess we just screwed up. But at the end of the day, we can say we did everything possible in our power to put out a good project with a good message and try to go community first with it. And either people are going to buy into it or they're not. That's what's going to happen at the end of the day.
So far it's been working. This is actually just a surreal moment that we're even on this podcast.
Yeah, it's dope, bro.
First time in Vegas.
Oh, wow. First time for both of you guys.
Hit Fremont, staying at the MGM, just seeing all of the art and everything that's here, flying out last minute. Y'all hit us up to do the podcast. It was like, man, are we ready to go there, dude? And it's just... But now we're seeing Monday Night Football tonight, bro, in Vegas with the Raiders and the Falcons, bro.
It's going to be sick, man.
