*The story of the TBPN on TBA*

Last month, I knew Dan Romero, founder of Farcaster, was [going live on TBPN](https://farcaster.xyz/dwr.eth/0x49a8d93b), tech's hottest show, and that Farcaster would get a big shoutout.

I thought it would be hilarious if there was a TBPN mini app on Farcaster that would allow Farcaster users to watch the segment about Farcaster ... on Farcaster. LOL. I spun up a quick app, added the manifest, updated the actions, deployed it to Vercel, and [posted it to Farcaster](https://farcaster.xyz/jayme/0x99c4755a).

A few days later, my notifications started blowing up, and I saw that [John and Jordi announced the mini app live on the show](https://www.youtube.com/live/wTl1ISMqph0?t=14500s). 

> **John:** And Big news, you can watch TBPN on Farcaster. Someone built a Farcaster mini app ...  
>   
> Jordi: Which is a very cool novel experience you have on Farcaster. People can create sub-apps within the app, and they live in the feed. I think it's Jayme Hoffman who built this.   
>   
> Dan: Are you talking about the pirate feed of TBPN?  
>   
> Jordi: It's authorized. Fully authorized. 

That day, thousands of Farcasters watched the TBPN livestream through the mini app. Dozens still use it daily. Wild for just a joke. 

Fast forward to last week, coinbrad.eth reached out asking if i could make TBPN work inside Coinbase Wallet. I thought "TBPN on TBA" was such a good meme.
