in #meep7 years ago (edited)

We're here with you live from our Studio in NYC. So glad you could join us today. We have on the show a new special guest with us. He's been making appearances all over the comments section of your posts it's blogger @ionlysaymeep. Thanks so much for being here.

ag- So, meep, Let's start when you were young. Any brothers or sisters?

meep- meep

ag- interesting. Now this is a bit of a fun performance art piece that you're doing on the blockchain. What inspired you?

meep- meep

ag- Ok, I should have seen that coming. We've recently had a new hard fork land. H19 titled "Equality." What do you think of it? Have you noticed any changes to your post value? Have you noticed any effect of the ~40% drop to the rewards pool since then?

meep- meep

ag- yes, I think we've all been experiencing it. How do you feel about a quadrupling of power of votes in the comment section? Do you feel that is whales commenting on other people's posts or simply upvoting themselves and raping the pool?

meep- meep

ag- woah, those that's a powerful understanding. Have you been following the news at all? What do you think of Trump and the Republicans going for healthcare?

meep- meep

ag- let's end this on a positive note. Recently, @acidyo made a pretty hillarious video where he turned himself into the hitler character in the Hitler learns he lost video whilst making an epic rant. Do you know anything that might top that?

meep- meep

ag- well, lastly, the Minnow Support Project and PALnet celebrated having more than 1600 members in the channel. Last night there were more in the room than any other Steemit based Discord groups out there. It was an exciting night. Were you able to partake?

meep- meep

Well, that's all the time we have now folks. Thanks for joining us for this rivetting interview.

(the contents within are a simultaneous mixture of fiction and non-fiction. This interview didn't actually take place, but you can imagine if it did what his answers may have been. Anyways, meep may or may not have consented to this. I did ask, but you can guess his answer....)

Sort:  

Meep really shows insight into HF19 that I never saw coming. Most interviewers struggle getting Meep to express his true thoughts, but it's like you guys have known eachother forever. Fascinating stuff.

I've had several conversations with him prior to this. He's my bro-meep.

Ha! 👏🏽

The filthiest mouth, can't believe even Steemit censors his filthy mouth. Great interview, it's another side of @ionlysaymeep that doesn't come across in his blog.

He's very introspective.

I could see how this was going to turn out LOL.

Muppet of few words, that Meepster, I like them!

The HF changes to voting power and rewards pool struggles is real.

Great interview. I've been looking forward to this!!

I just hope his walk can match his talk.

Yeah, he's swingin' hammers for sure.

How did you get an interview with @ionlysaymeep, Ive been trying for weeks, havent heard a meep.

This is definitely one of your better articles. His thoughts were clear and concise. I recommend bringing him back for a second interview.

yeah. he really worked out well.

Indeed. I'd like to learn how deep the "meep" rabbit hole goes!

Thank you for this interesting Meep interview, he seems intelligent beyond his years. Everyone should take a note from Meep.

The meep insights. I'm curious of who he/she/it is. Thanks for the interview @aggroed

Hell yes! Thanks for stopping by my comment section yesterday @ionlymeep. Truly was an honor!

You know.... i've always said " a man of few words is a man who speaks volumes" , this could not be truer quote about the man, the meep, the mission..

Meep on my man, Meep on.....

MEEP MEEP!

This is fake news!!

I once had the opportunity to ask @ionlysaymeep "What do you think of Trump and the Republicans going for healthcare?" His response was

"meep"

He can not have it both ways. It's one "meep" or another, but not both!!!

:-)

@ionlysaymeep somtimes replies to comments i make on articles and he says "meep", it's funny i saw him comment on someguys article saing "meep" the guy responded and asked him "what do you mean?" and he again said "meep" lool, poor guy was about to become crazy

I humbly present a link to a related post I made an hour ago... it's about where I think Steemit is headed and it's based on the 2017 Growth Plan they issued several months ago. It's sure to piss off Steemit's biggest fans because I think the rewards pool is intended to shrink. It's by design. And I apologize for the self-upvote, but it's for visibility. I usually only give myself high-fives in secret.

haha very concise. I mean meep-meep

wow! such a nice post.

I'm not sure if it's all fair or not , the powerful only help the powerful , what about us ??

and hear I was all excited and .. it's the same meep. Who hasn't gotten the odd comment from meep?!

"one meep for yes, two for no"
"meep meep"
"allllllllllright, yes yes it is!"

hahaha sick ^_^

So meep, I trust you went to a top college and can tell us what 'peem' is spelt backwards? Smart man

he's got you covered.

The reward pool is going to disappear in no time at this rate. Why are they waiting to implement a fix?

Dude, he only says meep

Yeah, but it's all in how he says it.

Hahaha, well played sir. You're absolutely correct. It was actually a great idea for an article, I was honestly curious when I read the title of the post :)

ahhahaha same here, made my day that much better

The insight @ionlysaymeep has into this world is astounding...I hope I too can one understand the intricacies of our community in such a way.

I think what @ionlysaymeep said about the hard fork and how it's being used by the whales is highly speculative, inflammatory, borderline libelous, and completely uncalled for. I for one will not tune in to any further broadcasts if you continue giving ignorant blowhards, like Mr. Meep, airtime on your show.

He can come across pretty strong at times.

I only wish he wasn't so acerbic and vitriolic in his pernicious critique of the system.

He gets passionate when discussing misappropriation of whalebalz. With great whalebalz comes great responsibility.

Your interpretation of some of his meeps is the highlight of the interview. You should start interviewing politicians who say exactly the opposite of what they have in mind.

hahaa funny!

I like @ionlysaymeep point of view in most of the questions.
But I disagree with what he said about Trump and healthcare.

Good read @aggroed !

a fair point.

LOL, Ionlymeep has really gathered a good visibility for himself!!

Haha meep is the man! I've had a few stimulating conversations with him before on the comment sections of posts....and yet they all ended the same way - me wanting more!

Lol I really dig these satirical pieces - keep 'em coming @aggroed! And that @acidyo video with Vitalik's brother was hilarious!

this is hillarious. i have seen him coming at my post a few times. and he only say meep.

Very insightful responses you managed to get @ionlysaymeep to elicit and share with us! Thanks for the laugh, quite the creative idea!

This is too funny! Made my day! Haha!

Hahahaha funny picture..i wanna be you to question..?
What you mean the picture? What about? Please talk?
@aggroed

That was a meeping mess of meep proportions that I can only respond to with: meep :-)

Sometimes it is the questions that matter instead of the answers.

meep-meep

Well that is some original content. Had fun reading it. :)

I respect @ionlysaymeep's opinion... but was it really necessary for him to say that about my mother?

I'm only here for the meeps.

Hehehe love this! I couldn't understand what the hell he/she was doing when they commented on one of my posts for the first time

Meep meep

I have a pretty good relationship with him. I think.

I feel like some of the question were not properly answered. Extremely dodgy at some points. Especially about Trump and Healthcare where he replies "meep". Not buying it at all.
