Clank the Rainbow: GM Farcaster ep290 Wednesday, September 24, 2025 with guest cohost Burr.eth

TL:DR Burr returns with new lights & Monster Rehab Farcaster feeds go “gnarly” 🌈 Rainbow drops surprise Clanker acquisition letter, team says nope 👀 SBF tweets from prison while Vitalik shares Mozart trivia 🦅 Adrienne popped by to clarify “eagle hunting”

From our ChatGPT Intern: Prof and guest cohost Burr rolled back into GM Farcaster with new lights, new mics, and a Monster Rehab in hand, just in time to cover Farcaster’s gnarly feed outage that had everyone convinced they’d been blocked. Between rainbow-colored acquisition drama, Clanker’s fresh “sniper tax,” Vitalik shitposting Mozart facts, and SBF somehow tweeting from prison, the episode played like an onchain mashup of Succession and meme roulette. OH and Adrienne popped by for a photo dump from her Mongolian adventures!

🎤 Burr Back on Mic Duty

Episode 290 kicked off with Burr stepping in as guest co-host, this time armed with influencer lights, a half-working mic, and a Monster Rehab in hand. The hosts joked about looking more professional than they actually felt, while catching up after a week off. Between birthday shout-outs, hoodie compliments, and nostalgia about “Liquid Death and a Biscuit” from ETHDenver, the energy was playful and chaotic from the start.

Farcaster Outages & Gnarly Feeds

The Farcaster feed outage had users spiraling into paranoia. For hours, timelines either showed nothing, only self-casts, or just endless “interesting content” filters, making people wonder if they’d been shadow-blocked. The team explained it came down to broken embeds from new token pages, dubbing the glitch “gnarly” in the most ’80s way possible. In true Farcaster fashion, the bug sparked memes, with one cast joking: “Farcaster isn’t down, everyone just blocked you, hon."

🌈 Rainbow vs. Clanker Drama

The headline saga was Rainbow’s very public proposal to acquire Clanker, which dropped like a new season of Succession onchain. The Clanker team had already said no privately, but Rainbow escalated with an open letter promising “consideration” for token holders. The hosts covered Clanker's response and the memes that followed. In summary: whole thing weird.

Leaderboards & Prison Tweets

The leaderboard chatter returned with Bertwurst the dog still dominating, while Burr joked about making her own run for the top. Vitalik added chaos by posting both serious DeFi takes and Mozart trivia, leaving everyone half-convinced he was gunning for leaderboard points. Meanwhile, SBF somehow tweeted “GM” from prison, triggering a mix of disbelief and memes.

🦅 Adrienne’s Pop-In Chat

Adrienne dropped into the episode like an 🦅, sharp and timely, immediately cracking jokes and avoiding weighing in on the Rainbow–Clanker situation. The pop-in was brief but memorable — just enough to clarify that she was not hunting eagles but hunting WITH eagles.
