To quote this piece: Yoel Marino, “What made you smile today? Exploring Denver from Wyoming,” We Them Media, filmed 2026-03-30, https://wethem.xyz/watch/what-made-you-smile-today-exploring-denver-from-wyoming. Each transcript line links to its second.

Yoel Marino is in Denver for a week from Casper, Wyoming, and what made him smile today is the city itself. “Exploring the city, because I’m not from Denver, so I came from out of state and I’m just exploring downtown. It’s been pretty fun.” Compared with home: “The complete opposite, I would say. Because over there’s like a bunch of just land. Open land, small town.”

Before the question, Maceo explains what the tape is for, in one of the plainest statements of the project on record: poidh is “a platform where people can essentially be incentivized to go out and do real things in the world and earn crypto for doing it,” and “We Them Media is a community-driven media platform trying to be at the intersection of tech, community, and culture.” Yoel’s question for the world: “what keeps them going? Like, what’s their drive.”
