== Electricity and NFTs ==


'''Brad:''' I have electricity concerns about this topic, Myke, so I need to learn about this more.

'''Myke:''' The electricity thing is one thing, and I understand that, but there's parts about the NFT stuff where artists benefit greatly. That's the thing that I support. Here's the thing that I found out about NFTs, in case you didn't know. Every time they resell, so like if I bought your art and sold it to somebody else, you make a percentage of the cut of my sale forever. Every time an NFT is resold, the original artist makes money. Hmm. And I think that that is so incredible and is exactly how art should work, in my opinion. Like that every time it's resold, like there should be a royalty that goes back to the artist. I think it makes sense. You're buying the work of somebody else.

'''Brad:''' Yeah. No, I don't disagree. I just don't know enough about it to be able to speak on it.

'''Myke:''' NFTs, in case you don't know, they're called non-fungible tokens. It is digital art sale. This is a topic that you may have heard a little bit about. It's to do with the blockchain and crypto and all that stuff.

'''Brad:''' Yeah, I would like to understand more because that's like a market I would participate in personally. Right? But I just don't, I haven't spent the time to learn about what's going on.

'''Myke:''' We're going to mention Betty in a little bit of the Pictorial podcast here on Relay.fm. You should go and subscribe to Pictorial because as they are saying in the chat, and as I would have assumed anyway, they will cover NFTs on that show because it's a big thing in the art world. So Relay.fm slash Pictorial, which is also just a great show for people that listen to this show. It focuses on art. It's by Quinn and Betty, two art enthusiasts. But it's not a like highbrow, you know, like, oh, you don't understand art kind of show. This is for people that enjoy art but don't, but like want to learn more and that kind of thing. So it's more about sharing and enthusiasm rather than like, oh, you know, you've got to pay the price to come into this room. Do you know what I mean? Right.

'''Brad:''' I mean, and now that we're leading into this and you mentioned highbrow, I would like to put on Betty's radar that we need a lowbrow art episode. She'll know what I'm talking about. And that's a art world I like to follow. You know, it's not exactly what you think. But that is one of my art fandom areas.

'''Myke:''' An underground visual art movement that arose in the 1960s.

'''Myke:''' Okay.

'''Brad:''' So there you go. All right. Let's make a pizza.

'''Myke:''' Okay. Is this like just a new phrase? Yeah. It's like this is when we get on with the show. Okay. Let's make a pizza. No, let's talk about Ooni Pizza Ovens, the world's number one pizza oven company. They make surprisingly small ovens that are powered by your choice of either wood, charcoal or gas, letting you make restaurant quality pizza in your own backyard. Ooni Pizza Ovens are super easy to use. They're very portable and will fit in any outside space. Ooni Pizza Ovens can reach temperatures of up to 900 degrees Fahrenheit or 500 degrees Celsius, which enables you to cook restaurant quality pizza in as little as 60 seconds. It's that high temperature that separates these pizzas from those that you can make in a home oven. One of their most popular models is the Ooni Coda 16. This is a gas powered oven that can cook up to 16 inch pizzas and has an innovative L-shaped burner at the back that gives you even heat distribution. Ooni Pizza Ovens start from just $299 with free shipping to the US, UK and the EU, with two of their coolest models being the multi-fueled Ooni Karu, which can use wood, charcoal or gas, or the Ooni Coda 16. They also make an awesome app as well to help you perfect your dough recipe and give you loads of pizza making tips. Brad, can you, actually before we started the show today, you were saying that it's nearly Ooni season in the Dowdy household again.

'''Brad:''' Yeah, it's mainly because I'm a big chicken and don't want to go out in the cold and fire it up. But it's actually, it would be smart if I did, right, because the Ooni oven is just going to warm me up. So, we have an Ooni. We love to use it. We tend to use it more, which is when I say, you know, it's not cold. That's like nine months out of the year. It's not cold around here. So, we fire up the Ooni quite frequently. It's an amazing piece of technology. I still haven't totally wrapped my head around. But what Ooni has created has been nothing short of impressive. And they kind of change the industry, if I'm being honest about it. Like, I didn't see so many, you know, such competition before they showed that they have such a great product out there. And it's one of the first to really do this. It's the best.

'''Brad:''' And it is so easy to use. It's so fun to use. And it's really like this family gathering point. It's like, you know, you're not going to do it. I'm not going to break out the Ooni for myself, Myke, if everyone's out of town. But it's like we make an evening of it. Like, let's all make pizzas. Yeah. We can all make our own pizza. Fire it in the Ooni. And we can be done. Like, I can cook four pizzas for the four of us in our family in like five minutes. Right? It's awesome. I love it.
