Full Transcription
Thank you. Oh, we see cheese in tune with the season.

Mine is Z.
Ain't nobody tripping.

If something go wrong, then you know we get you tripping.
All that I see you, but don't fuck with me.
Are you telling me to see the sight?
She's looking in my eyes
Most of you are the guys
Are you telling me to see the sight?
Don't think about it for me
Come alone
Nigga you ain't no change
She might stop
I could throw them the rain out of You ain't no G. But she likes my phone. I could throw them the rain out for you.
You ain't no G.
Now you stepping with a G from Los Angeles.
Where the helicopters got cameras.
Just to get a glimpse of our chucks and our khakis and our bouncing cars.
You with your friend, right?
Yeah.
She ain't trying to bring over no men, right?
She, she ain't gotta be in the distance.
She can get high all in an instant.
I'm not sure of what I see,
you bet don't fuck with me.
Why you tell her to stay the same?
She look in my eyes,

Mommy, mamacita
Have you ever
Long G5 from London GM, GM, everybody I hope you are having amazing Thursday.
Oh my God, we have so many announcements.
So many announcements.
It's absolutely crazy.
I hope you hear me well because I've been doing some crazy setup changes with a Windows PC,
which is nuts to have actually to play games.
But guys, we still have two more minutes of intro.
So drop a GM in the comments.
Retweet the space and bookmark.
That's Squiddy's secret hack.
Bookmark the space.
I don't know why it works, but it somehow works.
Squiddy, if you have time, request, I'll bring you here.
You can share that alpha with us.
Also, FIFA arrivals are about to launch.
Maybe they're in-game
App Store or Store or Marketplace
or whatever it is. So, yeah.
We're going, guys. Two more minutes
of intro. Let's fucking go.
And because we are hosting Bored Bones,
there's only one song to play right now. The And they gazed in wide wonder at the joy they had found.
Then they spoke up to leave this one alone.
She could tell right away that I was bad to the bone.
Bad to the bone.
Bad to the bone.
Bad.
Bad. Bad. bad to the bone.
I broke a thousand hearts before I met you.
I break a thousand more, baby, before I am through.
I want to be yours, pretty baby.
Yours and yours and love.
I'm here to tell you, honey
That I'm bad to the bone
Bad to the bone
Bad to the bone Oh my god, I love this song. It's so good. It's crazy.
And yeah, your clothes, your boots, and your motorcycle.
the cycle.
This was the first thing I heard when I met Gaga actually on ApeFest, but this is Grateful
Show 383.
Let's go, baby.
GMGM, everybody. what a beautiful Thursday
I really hope it's Thursday
Because I have no idea what's going on
We have so many announcements
I don't know where to start
Because it's absolutely crazy
Right?
We had a tweet about ApeFest
We had a tweet about
OtherSide
Or tweet about
It was actually garga being in
discord sharing alpha damn i played snoop guys snoop sold 12 million dollars worth of stickers
in telegram which is absolutely wild probably my first nft in 2021 was snoop dogs nftTs on crypto.com. So damn, he's definitely deep into Web3 and NFTs.
Love it.
We got into it.
Tino, how are you doing today, man?
What's good with you, bro?
GM, GM.
When I picked up Garga on ApeFest, he said,
it's not a motorcycle, it's a chopper, baby.
Oh, shit.
Little different movie, bro, but maybe even better one. I love that one.
Yeah, same man. I'm doing really good. I was excited for the show today and yeah man, so many things happening and Snoop, he knows.
He just tends to know he has the right team around him. I remember seeing him on VCon back in the day, the first first beacon uh basically talking about how he got into
nfts and that was completely insane you know he was just going around and his son was just uh
always uh just telling him hey look at this thing keep start looking at this start paying attention
and and basically he just gave them a green light to the team and then he kind of helped them out with his own voice and everything.
And I think this is very cool how he approaches it and he keeps himself relevant.
Sorry for my little rant, but it always inspires me how such a guy can keep himself on top of the game for what 30 years it's crazy
and also he played in the best movies ever right um for example old school movie such a great
performance there i know nobody in the audience has any idea what you're talking about i know
there are better there are better movies with starsky and hutch baby yeah baby yeah such a great actor uh love it
and yeah snoop is snoop is wild snoop is wild we also had a crazy other deed sales uh 100 eat
this time so i don't know i i would love if there's some, you know, insider info, but people are buying deeds, man.
I always check other side wiki
and it's so hard to find something that I really want
because people are just diamond handing, man.
And they don't want to sell MFs, right?
So I don't know what to do.
It's impossible, man.
To get a good deed for like normal affordable price it's which is good which makes me really
happy and also there was uh there was uh uh uh the the tweet that i saw that uh was was the guy's
name he he acquired all the 47 uh resources of course yeah adam yeah the biggest whale and i
think there are more and more people who are doing that
and really thinking about resources,
which makes me also think whether we should be paying more attention
in that direction.
Oh, for sure, man.
Because OtherSide account actually shared that incredible illustration, right?
And it has 100% something to do with resources.
It's called Resource Extractor.
So resources will play a role.
Man, I don't know.
I would love to have like so many other deeds.
I have 24.
I felt great.
Now after I saw everyone has like 100 plus,
I'm feeling terrible.
So I don't know what I'm going to do, guys. If you can subscribe to my OnlyFans that would really help. I just set it up. Yeah,
what else to say? Squiddy, what's up man? Will you be streaming from the other side on your OnlyFans?
Maybe both man. Notice how grateful shot to me as soon as he was done talking about the OnlyFans.
Was he hinting at something?
Perhaps.
I don't want to give anything away.
I don't want to give anything away.
But just, you know, let that sink in.
Man, you know what I learned in crypto?
Like, you always have to find a way how to stay in the game.
That's the alpha.
That's the only alpha you need to know.
Because this game is tough, right?
So you need to find a ways.
Man, tell me. Is it better to be on OnlyFans?
Bro, when I was talking about Snoop Dogg still being on top of the game, I kind of meant a different game.
But, like, is it better to be on OnlyFans or be, like, MemeCoinRugger?
Like, it's so obvious. So much better to be on OnlyFans or be like MemeCoinRugger. Like, it's so obvious.
So much better to be on OnlyFans, bro.
So, like, you know?
Okay. But I wanted to talk about my new PC, man.
My new Windows PC, not about my OnlyFans career.
Which is a joke.
And guys, this is getting really tricky with AI.
Because AI will listen to all the spaces.
And basically, I'm not sure if AI will understand
that all these were just jokes
so I'm completely screwed bro
with all your
in the future like grateful
OnlyFans artist
I don't know what else it's gonna be terrible
yeah but you know
it is what it is but guys
I did it squiddy I did it just because of you
i set up gaming pc with windows and immediately i figure out i cannot copy paste from my iphone
to my computer man what's going on with that i can't airdrop slack get slack and send it to
yourself dude it's the it's what i use i kid you not any device boom pops right back up even if i'm just
sending a message i put it into my phone and it goes into like being sent on my computer it's
pretty snazzy i'm not gonna lie i'm sorry but this reminds me when uh when uh iphone came up with uh
with the airdrop and we were so excited like wow how cool is that and then nokia used to have this
infrared thingy back in the day which was completely the same oh shit bro no one knows
i know but yeah uh i wanted to say something man that happened to me with that computer and i
absolutely forgot it with the nokia joke because Nokia, that was something different.
But yeah, last time I had a Windows PC, it was Windows XP.
So yeah, it changed a lot.
I don't know how to use that anymore.
Yeah, but I have games, you know, I'm ready.
I installed Age of Empires 2, which is amazing.
I installed Fallout 1.
So back in the 90s, 2000s, and I'm ready, man.
But it's crazy.
Yeah, I wish I could stay on Mac.
But Squiddy, before we invite Phil and say hi to Shiba,
how is it going with FIFA?
I heard some announcement.
What's going on there?
Ooh, got a new season starting with FIFA rivals.
Again, we're like four weeks in into a forever game.
This thing is going to last.
Again, the first season was the Club World Cup.
We're now in the finals, which is exciting.
And the next season is the Adidas program.
So it's going to be Adidas based players you can now craft
your myth your mythical players so there is a messi out there that you can put together i don't
know if anyone's ever heard of her but you know solid solid footballer there that's that's a big
prize and i'm having a lot of fun man it's just a fun just a fun game man you need to give me
how to play it man you need to give me alpha how to play it and how to win i play many games there
i love it it's simple game it's fun how games i think games should be like that right and we see
it more and more and other side will be also great example of that that you make to you have to make
games fun right you know you you need to make them accessible you have to make games fun right you know you you you need to make
them accessible you need to make them easy so you just download it and you play it you don't need
to do any like crazy shit around so yeah I really enjoyed the game man and it's dude so fun ripping
goals you know hitting hitting an upper 90 with a little flick of the finger there you know it's uh
it's pretty damn good and I also I see Boris down there in the crowd. I'm in the middle of a draft right now.
I'm in the middle of a spoiled SBS draft, which is fun too.
You know, I'm a fantasy football guy.
So if anyone's interested in the Dynasty League,
Dynasty Fantasy Football League with some, you know,
people who have been in the Web3 space for a while,
I've got a few spots left.
Hit me up if you're a, if you're a hardcore,
you're a dynasty fantasy football player, American football, not the football they're doing in FIFA,
the American football, the one you do with your hands. If that's your thing, holler at your boy.
But when it comes to FIFA, yeah, man, I'm pumped. We're just getting started and I'm having a lot of fun, fun, quick games. And, you know, can only go up as well, which is exciting.
So it's going to be a lot of fun with the actual World Cup next year.
Bullish.
Oh, for sure, man.
For sure.
Yeah, I love these quick games.
Also, it was very interesting today when I started playing Age of Empire.
I played for like 10 minutes just to, you just to see how it looks because I really forgot.
I think the game was released around like 2000 or something like that.
And it's so insane how long it takes before you start playing the game, bro.
Like the attention span really shrinks through the years.
We are not ready to play games like back in 2000 because, you know.
The 20-minute walkthroughs too, like I used to love
doing those you know it's like alright you know let me get mentally prepared
we're gonna walk this out you know but yeah now it's just all right what can
you cram in for the first time user experience in 30 seconds and hope they
stick which you know kind of a bummer. Yeah T Tino, you wanted to add something. I know you have experience with
gaming. Yeah, we had no other options, bro. Like, it was dial-up and even, like, loading,
and it was just loading, so we went to pick something up downstairs and just come back,
and then we continued. I think that we all got used to that. You saw eyes first, right?
Then chin and in 10 minutes, I don't know, neck.
Yeah, I'm not sure what you were doing, but yeah.
Yeah, back in the day, man.
Shiba, how you doing, man?
What's good with you?
I feel like nobody will ever understand the struggle of playing computer games
on my computer. Made sure my parents
were sleeping, but I had to do it from 8
to 10 because I was up past 10 o'clock.
I got my ass beat. So I got two hours of
solid gaming back when I was a kid.
Nowadays, I could do it for 10 and no one
even asked if I'm okay. So, crazy,
crazy. Good to see everybody.
Just came to say what up. I've been playing
a lot of vibes. I'm not a sport guy, so I like squeak, but I'm not going to play that. But yeah, I've been playing a lot what up. I've been playing a lot of vibes I'm not a sport guy some I like sweet, but I'm not gonna play that but we haven't playing a lot of vibes
I'm playing a lot of clash royale, but besides that I have hang to looking good
I'm gonna keep going up, but hope it does and
Shout out to you for having the space
What up what up, man
Well what I feel in really bullish, man.
I also wanted to read the tweet from... Let me quickly find that.
And then we're going to invite Phil here on stage.
Or maybe it's not Phil.
Maybe it's someone else because the name changed.
I don't know who's there behind the account.
We'll see.
Maybe it's a surprise.
From Punk6529, right?
He tweeted and I think he he had a he had a great point basically he mentioned that museums museums and private collections hold billions of physical cultural
objects right paintings coins stamps etc etc and I think NFs make so much sense for the future for the digital future because we talk
about gaming in 2000 but now the the world's changed so much like we can do stuff that we
we couldn't even imagine back in the day and everything will be more and more digital so
maybe 10 000 board apes is really not enough right we're going to see it on the other side that you will have objects
that you will have like hundreds of thousands of those, right?
So I believe it.
I think we're still early.
I don't know how early,
but we're still early, which is good.
But, you know, what do you want to add?
Yeah, man, I really love that tweet
and made me extremely bullish and thinking again.
And I remembered when we hosted William Lobkowicz
a long, long time ago, who is-
It's a Czech prince?
Basically kind of a prince and his family,
like owns has one of the biggest art collections in Europe,
as well as one of the biggest, if not the biggest, weapons like old weapons collection.
And what he was saying because they went, his family
was, you know, they were supporting Mozart and this kind of people.
So it's pretty crazy how far the family goes. But
what he was saying, they lost all their art, basically
twice already, once to Nazis and once to communists.
And when they tried to get it back in the 90s, the only reason why they were successful
were that the Germans, the Nazis were making a really huge catalogs out of that uh and each of the of the artworks was like very well
cataloged basically a ledger uh if you if you want and uh basically that's the only reason why
they were able to claim it kind of and that's why he was so bullish and it still is to kind of uh
making sure that all the artworks that they own has somehow their digital twin on blockchain.
And I think this makes so much sense
because nobody can change it.
Nobody can do anything with it.
And it's there, it's written there.
You know exactly the time,
you know exactly everything, how.
And I really, really feel we should pin the tweet
because it's an amazing one.
And I think he made a really great analogy to many different parts of our life, everyday life.
And as we keep talking on Grateful Show for 383 plus episodes, it's like it's a no brainer.
There are some things and some fields where there is no other future than blockchain.
So let that, that's just enough for me.
Let that sink in 100%, man.
Man, back in 2021, because of my Instagram,
like a huge, huge museum, like art museum in Italy,
they invited me and they wanted to show me their NFT.
They had NFT exhibition there,
but they had like traditional art there.
And I was talking to them and they told me some art pieces, they cannot leave Italy.
By law, they cannot leave Italy, right?
And there are many more rules with it.
So it's absolutely crazy.
Maybe we should invite someone from traditional art world here on stage
and chat with them about it, because it was very interesting.
They had pieces for millions of dollars.
It's crazy.
It was extremely crazy back in 2021-2022.
We were approached, also myself, by some of the huge art collectors and people from the art scene
because I have some background in the art world.
And it's crazy because there was a lot of attention in the NFTs on blockchain.
So all of a sudden, of course, they were going where the attention was.
So I think that's also like big institutions institutions like banks they are huge art collectors I think it's just a matter
of time when it all starts there there needs to be only a few examples who lead
it and and it can go really nuts guys I think it will be like nothing is
happening until everything's changed and we are here and we know it
and we feel it but I think we're still a little bit early and I think that's a huge opportunity
for all of us because I think it's so obvious it's so obvious but it takes so much time it also
takes time to build a brand man like back in 2021 in 2021, I was like, oh, BYC, so everyone will know it within like a few months or now, man.
It takes so much time.
It's crazy.
If you look at, for example,
like we talk about the huge brands, right?
Like when they started, for example,
like, man, it usually takes decades, right?
And one more thing before we say hi to BoardFM.
Tino, I heard on instagram uh some guy or or
girl said that he said that she said that she's older than google and kids couldn't believe her
bro can you imagine like you older than invention of the phone, bro.
I love this.
I was really thinking about it.
What kind of flex is that, bro?
I'm older than Google.
I'm older than most of the companies.
I love this one.
This is my favorite.
Not even talking about... When I was explaining something about the brand history of my brand and i'm like yeah
but this was before instagram and somebody from the audience like wait what do you mean before
and yeah we did exactly i think two or three years before instagram so yeah it's uh uh before the
born before google is huge man it's It's like BC before Curtis, right?
So BI before Instagram.
But it's crazy.
If you talk to people that are around like their 20s,
it's so funny because, you know,
they are already like in business and stuff.
But you are like, yeah, yeah, man.
I remember like MySpace and shit like that.
They're like, what?
Yeah, bro.
Back in the day when I started at Red Bull,
it was basically Red Bull was coming from Web 1 to Web 2.
And I remember we were, I was a trainee in the beginning
and on my table landed, I had such project
as like a global strategy for Facebook advertising
with a Facebook headquarters
because there was nobody else who cared.
There was TV, there was radio, there was print, but but nobody cared about digital and there was this guy who kind of knew
because he had his e-shop with skateboarding stuff and and you know like there were no senior people
there were literally no senior digital people back then and i remember we hired a guy uh from the us
as a like a senior consultant he was he i couldn couldn't even say how much we paid him for.
He came for a week or two weeks to Salzburg, to Austria.
We paid him crazy amount of money.
And when he left, we were looking at each other like this was worth nothing.
He had completely, it's like when somebody now from traditional media
is talking about like what Gen Z,
how they are, you know, taking,
and it was, I was looking at it like,
no, people don't do that.
There was, Shiba, go ahead.
You guys were making jokes on like old things.
If you think about it, I think almost everybody
in this room is older than almost major than most of the major social media platforms.
We've got Facebook, MySpace, Instagram, even X.
I'm pretty sure we're all older than all of this.
Yep, we're getting old.
I can tell you, the moment I realized I was old was in New York City for the NYC thing, for the conference.
I was surprised how many fucking kids were running around in subways.
You go to Times Square, they're all young people.
It's not like somebody made a joke and was like,
you know, New York City's not that bad or dangerous
as long as you can defend yourself against 10-year-olds.
And I'm like, you know what? You're right.
I'm not really scared of the homeless people peeing or screaming.
But yeah, it's quite interesting to see what we've gotten.
And I'm only 30, almost 34, and I already feel like I'm 60.
But I don't know.
Maybe because of the way that time is just moving fast, technology.
But we're keeping up.
I feel like most of us are in 30s and 40s.
But fuck, I feel like we know more about this shit than most of the young people in their 20s and even younger.
Oh, 100%.
I believe that, man.
I believe that.
I mean, our sons and daughters could definitely mop us in Fortnite. Well maybe not me but
yeah we're definitely running them laps over here in the crypto space. Damn kids.
I also believe that. Guys let's do this. Retweet this space, bookmark this space and if you have any questions for BoardFM, you can ask them in the comments.
And I think it's time to welcome...
The Board!
The Arnold!
The Terminator!
Gio!
What's up bro, how you doing today yo what is uh if you hear a small baby it's because i've got one on my left arm and my phone and my right arm oh okay you have also been up from new york city
uh no i don't think so i've got three i don't need a number four i don't think um no bro you
need four kids i like i have four apes so basically i have you need four kids bro so i have one it's
almost the same thing it's almost the same thing for real over this last bear market it's felt
kind of like having a kid you know the ups and downs in the bear market for sure how are you doing man i'm good dude
i'm excited to be here as always like always enjoy listening to you guys chop it up and
and you guys you know i mean you guys have been doing this forever literally and just one of my
favorite you guys are two of my favorite people in the space for sure we've had tons of conversations
on you know on the space and the backgrounds and DMS. And it's always the same. It's never, you guys are never fake,
which I truly appreciate.
Like the same conversations we have in the background that nobody can see are
the same conversations we're going to have right here on stage,
which I would say in crypto and NFT spaces, um, fleeting,
there's not a lot of that. And so I'm really excited to be here. Um,
I know I had reached out to you grateful. Oh, a little while ago, just to be like, hey,
dude, I'd love to come on your show and talk a bit about what I've been building, just
because, again, I really am excited about what I've been doing over the last few months.
And what better way to talk more in depth about it than the Grateful show that felt
like a perfect marriage, if you will.
I have to ask you, can we still call you Phil bro? Or you, you are secret now?
Because I understand like this, like, you know, being anonymous has a hundred percent,
some advantages, right? Like, I don't want to, I don't know if you want to share it or not,
but, uh, we, we heard that story, which is terrifying. Right? So, yeah, I 100% understand.
What's behind the rebrand?
Or is there anything other than what happened to you before, man?
Damn.
Am I rocked?
I'm here.
Oh, okay.
I'm juggling.
No worries, no worries.
So, okay. Okay. Okay. No worries. No worries. So yes.
Basically the rebrand and this goes for everybody is like,
I guess my little like tip or advice to even if you're doxed,
there's still ways to help protect information.
Obviously.
And I think it's always just good practice to continue to like go over those things and
even if it's once a month once a quarter
United States of America especially in the United States at least information
is easily accessible and so basically the uh long story short is I had um a break-in attempt at my house and super scary like nightmare type
stuff and it's because i was doxxed and someone had given my address out so um what i've been
doing over the last and that happened in the beginning of december so maybe you noticed maybe
you didn't but i was definitely not in the timeline as much as i usually was here for the last i don't
know six months or so just because obviously reassessing things and trying to clean up some information potentially or trying my best,
you know, and a lot of stuff still in the air, but I love Web3.
I still want to be here.
I still want to be creating and doing content and all those things.
Like I did a thread yesterday when Garga put out that long lore and other side.
So there's still things i'm super passionate about
and you can still call me phil like if you know me i'm still phil you can call me bored you can
call me board fm it's like that's like a call back to my days working in radio that's where i got that
but um that's the the short version is just be aware of uh just the amount of information that's out there.
Yeah, 100%. I think also flexing and stuff. We saw some people being kidnapped
for sharing fake P&Ls, right? It makes no sense.
Yeah. Being careful is
not worth it. 100% agree.
Man, how did you get into the point that uh because
i don't know man we have so many like we have a lot of apes here that probably know you but
maybe don't you want to share just a short story uh how'd you end up here uh i think i always love
those stories for sure for sure yeah i think they're actually imperative because even if you know me or maybe
have seen me on the timeline or maybe you don't know me at all,
I think I'm doing a quick like history,
if you will of my experience in web three and the club specifically,
I think it,
I think it actually really does matter.
And it's part of the reason why I started board bones anonymously and I'll
get into why to start.
That was just for fun and theater if you will um but to put my name behind it was important to me before i launched
because i did want people to know it is me um because i have value like tremendous value and i
know that and i am a builder creative all those things are true and i'm excited to share more so
i started in crypto at the very, very end of like 2020.
And then I saw Top Shot, like I think maybe on Instagram.
I don't really recall,
but I think it was like a random Instagram ad,
maybe at the very end of 2020.
And I jumped in the first week of 2021 into NBA Top Shot.
And so I was ripping packs.
Like if you were there, it was electric
because they could basically like drop packs whenever
and they would sell out instantly.
And if you got lucky and you binked a pack or five, you would just make tremendous money if you wanted to.
And the reason that made sense to me is I've always been a sports memorabilia collector.
Autographs, sports cards, jerseys, those things make sense to me.
And so for me, NBA Top Shot,
it was still a collecting thing for me. It doesn't mean I never sold anything,
but I really was trying to like collect the things that I liked and, and, you know,
like rare items, if you will. So that was like early 2020. If you see Jed down there, Jed131,
he's one of the people I connected with the earliest within web three. And that was actually funny. Funnily enough through some small,
like 50 to a hundred piece art centric collections.
And we vibed in discord.
And like,
there's this like meme of the guy that like has a big stick and like a
leather jacket on,
like running after people like swinging at it.
And that was like a meme that like just went rampant in that discord.
And so Jed and I still like Jed,
I don't know, a week or two ago ago he responded with one of my posts with that and it was just hilarious because
it was nostalgic for me um because that was one of those things that like connected community and
again that i'll get into that more is why i'm still here and why i'm building board bones is
that community it might be cliche but it's true so um i was kind of looking at hash mass before board apes released and then i saw the board
ape giveaway on x and if you know who the shiller is he did a lot of like big nba top shot streams
i had become like cordial i wouldn't even say friends per se but definitely acquaintances i
talked to him i jumped on his twitch stream a couple of different times and I really appreciated the content he was doing.
And this is kind of a funny story, um, is I tagged him in the giveaway and maybe like one or two
other people. And he hit my DMS and we had DM before and he's like, Hey dude, he's like, I
appreciate you, but I don't love getting tagged and like giveaway stuff. And it's so funny because that ended up being like board API club.
And so like fast forward a couple of days, I had minted this one in the middle of the night.
I think it was like 1 a.m. my time or something the night that it minted out.
And I also like the next day I was in the DMs with him again, because again, like we are friends for sure now.
And it was just
so funny looking back is like that one moment of me like tagging him in this giveaway and then me
deciding on my own volition like I was just like I like the art I liked the the website it was
nothing crazy but it was like merch check I'm big into apparel and merch I'm huge into that
paying back their moms was just like hilarious to me.
And like, I don't know, like that connected with me.
And I, and I really did like the art.
So I minted the one board eight and talked to Schiller and, and then like instantly that
night minting.
Well, I fell asleep at like one, cause I was up to put our, our son to bed, back to bed.
And I was like, I'll get up in the morning and I'll mint like two more.
And by the time I woke up, which wasn't late, they were all sold out. And so I jumped in the
discord and I had jumped in the discord the night before. And I Gary V was there and blah. And I
mean, there's all kinds of people in there, but it wasn't even that, that was cool. It was just
like the regular people that I hadn't met yet in the space that I was running into down there. And
so I was in the discord a lot and, um, just vibing. And, and the cool thing about that,
discord a lot and um just vibing and and the cool thing about that and it's like it just hasn't been
replicated since as much as that beginning stages was everyone just had dreams like every single
person even if you had never done like created a comic or done a you know a video or anything like
people were spinning up like really creative ideas from the jump with people that they didn't really even know. Like they were creating groups and, you know,
small DM chats and going on clubhouse and making monkey noises.
And it was all because there was this like big dreams.
It was like, well, what could we do with the IP? It was never like,
in that moment, there was never a thought that like,
these will be worth a lot of money one day,
maybe more than they minted at $200, but it was never like,
these will be five figure assets, six figure assets. That was never like, even something we were talking about is really more about dreaming
and creativity. So into this board, um, and shortly thereafter, um, I kind of a fun little
note is I actually traded one of the fit. If you remember the first merch drop, um, they had really
limited hats and and hoodies.
And I ended up getting one of the black hats.
And back in the day, those things were like gold, basically.
Oh, I noted one.
I think Richard Wagner has one or two, man.
So I'll give you a really fun story about that, I guess.
And some people might know this and some haven't heard this before.
But basically, I had one of those hats.
And I was talking with a friend of mine and trying to get him to like jump in.
And I had this hat that I could work as like a bartering thing because basically I'd gone on eBay that night that I was lucky enough to get that order confirmed.
And I saw they were going for like, it was like 3,000 to 5,000 USD.
And at the time apes were going for like maybe like 13 to 1500 bucks.
I'd have to go back and look exactly.
So I posted on a timeline.
I was like, Hey, I got one of the black hats. Um, my friend and I are trying to pick up a second one.
And, uh, I got this, you know, I got this hat that I'll trade. And over the next like five
days ish, I ended up long story short. I almost got two apes for the hat, believe it or not,
but I got one other ape trading a $30 hat that I got lucky enough to, to get in that first merch
drop. And I traded it for a board ape. And I, I still have that one to this day too.
And so I, I got like a mutant serum off of it, a dog, all those things.
And so, um, again, I did that just because I thought the community was dope.
It was never like, even then, even with them at 1500 bucks or whatever,
it was never like, these are going to be worth a million.
That was not the thought. It was just, the community was cool.
I had a friend that I wanted to try to get in. And if I could get the second one, you know, he could at least experience
some of that. Um, he is no, he's no longer interested in the space, which is fine, but he
had some fun, um, I would say experiences through the first year or so. Um, he was not long for the,
for the bear though. So, which is fine. Like I get that and I understand. So, um, when spaces
became a thing, I connected with a lot of
people and started doing spaces at night before spaces were super popular. I was doing those
night spaces like way back in like 2021, called them the gray bird shift. And, uh, we would do
them from like 10 PM to 2 AM. And I actually started that through the collection deadheads
NFT. If you remember that one, I really liked the art. It was 3D. And I really liked the
two founders. Jeremy was super dope and connected with some more people that are Squirtle, Don't
Feed the Wolf. Those are some of my best friends in the space for sure. And just got used my
background in content because I was in the radio industry right out of college basically i was in the radio industry um started
doing streams started doing um x spaces obviously and uh and then created board network uh started
as board media group actually just started as board tv after the second annual ape fest speaking
of ape fest stuff i had run into bryce Will. They're both brothers that hold apes.
And I had ran into them literally randomly the first Ape Fest when we were lining up at like five in the morning.
And we found out we were all from Texas.
And I was like, oh, that's crazy.
What are the chances?
And then like fast forward to Ape Fest number two.
We like maybe talked once or twice between those two.
And then if you remember the second eight fast way crazier way longer line
and guess who i ran into the first day those two again in line like what are the chances like we
hadn't like we did not say like hey let's connect let's meet up it wasn't there was zero those
conversations i was there with another ape named nick ridiculous and jed knows nick um and we ran
into them and it was like this is is destiny. Let's start a show.
So I started board TV every Wednesday.
Every night we were streaming and talking all things board ape.
Yuga did the death nut challenge,
had a bunch of Yuga team members come through and still doing some,
some content to this day.
It's just a solo mission right now.
Cause Bryce and Will went off to the pengu land and that's fine.
And they're enjoying that. um i'm still all board ape yuga ape chain maxi just because to be
fair it changed my life and more than much more than a monetary way it was it was like the
connections and community that was built here and that i can still like lean on i can still call
people i can still dm people and know that they'll be there for me if I
need something. And that's, that's really powerful. And I think truly, if we get more, get back to more
of that, and that being the reason that you join a collection, because you, you know, appreciate
the art, you appreciate the, the builders and you appreciate that community. I think what will
happen naturally is the floor price will skyrocket. We got way too heightened on like floor talk rather than building talk.
That's all it turned into is like, what's the floor?
You know, basically when you talk about meme coins,
that's really the only conversation that can be had as well.
And so it changed the narrative of NFTs.
And this is just my opinion in a negative sense where it was just like every waking moment, it was like floor price, floor price, floor price, when this,
when that, and when that happens,
and it doesn't mean that there hasn't been mistakes along the way.
Like if you've followed my timeline at all,
there's been times where I've been frustrated and you've been bored ape and
things that they've done like for sure.
But at the end of the day,
I think the way that you build really solid communities and then in turn,
the floor price is steady or continues to creep up is you really cultivate the best community
possible with dreamers that actually want to push the community forward. And I see Gene down there.
I talked to NFT hoarder Jason just a day or two ago. These are people I think about when I think
about proliferating the brand and getting out there and doing things.
And, of course, you two with all the million things that you guys do as well.
There's so many people in the space.
JC Snacks down there.
There's so many people in the space that are really trying to push the brand.
Bad Teeth had this amazing freaking activation event.
Just unbelievable builders that I still believe is by far the best community.
And Ape Chain has opened that community to more people,
which is really cool.
And so when I decided to do this thing,
it started as just, let's see if I can make the art.
And then I just like, I have an addictive personality,
which can be good in some cases.
And I think this is the best case is I got super addicted
to like, let's learn how to do dev stuff and coding.
And I just like went full bore in and I didn't,
I'm really good at telling myself I can't do something because I'm a
perfectionist. So I'm like kind of hard on my toughest critic,
if you will. And one of these, this time I was just like, screw it.
Let's just go and see what can happen.
And I'm not going to say I can't do something before I'm proven that I
can't. And it's been really fun. That was a long winded story,
but that's why I'm proving that I can't. And it's been really fun. That was a long-winded story, but that's why I'm here. I love this journey and it was really special back in the day
and it's very hard to describe it, right? Now I feel a lot of projects and a lot of people, they
try to force the hype and force the enthusiasm and force something but this wasn't forced it just happened
right it was right time right place it was after all the lockdowns like ape fest number one was
perfect timing when people could probably meet for the first time in a long time
everything was booming it was really crazy and i man, that's why I'm saying,
if you are part of this space,
you are experiencing something
that you look back in a few years
and you'd be like, wow, those were special times.
And I'm really grateful that I could experience that
because money is nice, right?
Like money, of course,
but the experiences and all the emotions that you had,
like I still can remember
but me and tino we were in the line for bobby hundreds during nft nyc 22 and then those people
with those signs nfts are scam and god hates nfts and what was that bill gates what was that tino
with bill gates it was hilarious it was one of the coolest things.
IRL.
Because everybody believed there was all the media coverage all over the world.
There was a big protest against NFTs at an NFT event.
It was hilarious.
It was such a great guerrilla marketing.
Yeah, 100%. It was crazy.
And also, it doesn't matter where you live. Like,
if you have internet and if you can speak English, you can connect and network with so many people.
Like we are the great example. We are in the middle of Europe. I know guys, we don't have ACs,
like don't hate on us, right? If you visit in in the summer we don't have acs here but it's okay
but we also don't put ice into water it's also weird right yeah we don't we also don't tip 50
here yeah also weird but no i'm kidding guys i'm kidding uh yeah get ready if you're going to vegas
get get ready to tip a little bit you know and get ready to bring hoodies and pants because it's going to be colder, you know, because of the AC.
But it's an incredible journey to network and connect with so many people.
And wherever you travel, you can just, you know, tweet or DM people and you will find
apes there.
So it's 100% special.
And Ape Chain and other side, it opens door to so many possibilities, to so many new people joining the space,
to actually growing so much more.
It's wild.
And I've been looking closely at gaming
and Paul, the CEO of Somnia,
he was like, it's very tough to beat AAA games, right?
It's very, very tough,
but you can create your own genre here
and you can utilize blockchain
and you can bring something more than just the game.
You can also bring,
and we know that casino works the best, right?
Like you can bring betting on games
and I really hope we will have something on Ape Chain
for bathroom blitz
because that's going to be a banger, right?
You can bet like how many headshots will fill do during the game etc etc so i i think
it will be amazing and i'm not in rush um yeah i mentioned it before when other side drop i i talked
to few people in gaming industry here because we have like gaming industry is quite popular here in Czech Republic we have a you know what's the name of that game kingdom come you know that game
kingdom come right it's it was made here and it's quite popular and they told me like to build a
game it takes like like they said seven years but i wanted to hear like three years
yeah they said seven years oh you went months right yeah the first thing after i told them
about other side they were like like man it will take time so i was like okay chill i'll buy
whatever i like and i'll be patient and see what's gonna to happen. And we're here, and we are about to be able to participate there.
So, yeah, love it.
But we kind of detour from what Phil is building, man.
So how did you come up with the idea to be a founder of this project?
Why Bored Bones, man?
What's the story behind it yeah man perfect question and i think i have a pretty perfect answer so um also agree like we got to be patient
with all builders no matter the scale because it does take time to build um let's go back to like january of this year um and
specifically the minting of gobs on ape was really like really fun and this is before i knew it was
james from yuga it was just a fun experience like being able to have this allocation where
because he had collected some different ape chain um product projects you were able to potentially mint one
if you're fast enough basically and it was fun it reminded me sort of of like top shot where it's
like speed and maybe a little bit of degeneracy but that's okay too and and but but we also had
some people that knew who it was and said no this is a this is a real builder this is not something
that's going to rug you blah blah blah and so blah. And so I liked it just because like, it was cool. It was art. It was free. Like that was cool too, of course. Um, though I'll get to
a point where I want to change the narrative a little bit of free men's versus non, cause I
don't think it's sustainable long-term. Um, but I was looking at the art and just seeing the
community and feeling like good vibes again and fun. I think that was a key too.
And I just was like, all right.
I love, and I guess like him talking about the art being on chain,
not that I didn't know that that was possible
or knew that that had happened before,
but I just like kind of went into this rabbit hole again,
addictive personality, I suppose.
And I just fell in love with the idea of like creating something
that's here on the chain forever, as long as the chain is alive, right? And so I was like, something that's important to me is
if I'm going to do this, and I still wasn't even sure, and this was like end of January into
February. I was like, if I'm going to do this, I want the art to be on chain, and I'm going to try
to push myself to see how much I can do. And so if you followed my journey at all,
one thing I've said a million times, it's like my tagline. I believe it's my tagline. It's stay bored. I've said that forever. And the whole point there is like, stay bored. Obviously,
there's a connection with Bored Ape, but it's more than that. It's like, stay bored is this
mentality of like, even in the S storm of life, you got to find that calm.
You got to find that peace.
And I'm grateful.
You talk a lot about being grateful and like meditating in a way.
And like stay bored is that same mindset is like find your inner peace, like find that quiet in the storm.
And, and when the bear happens, if you stay bored, it sort of sounds funny, but if you stay bored, you're going to
make it through much easier than somebody that's like sweating bullets every five seconds watching
the charts go up and down. And so it's something that I have leaned into over board network and
company. I say it all the time on my posts. And so like this idea of boredom or finding inner peace,
that was important. Again, it's also kind of a tip of the cap naturally to to bored apes and then um how did i come up with like the skeleton idea it's not
like it's like a new um character per se my version is but i wanted something that could like
sort of intertwine and be sort of like uh you know how mutant cartel was started to amplify really mutants, right?
They started this brand and their own journey and their own story,
but they were able to tie in some of the lore, obviously, of memes.
That's kind of where I was at with, like,
I just loved Gobz on Ape so much.
And the story behind it, listening to James and his creation,
I was like, what's a character that would make sense
in this world of, like, goblins and then Mentators and his creation, I was like, what's a character that would make sense in this world of like goblins and then mentators and things?
And I was like, you know what?
I really think like skeletons make sense.
Like that seems like a character that would play really well.
And again, not that I'm not, this is not me saying I'm collaborating with James Hall.
I did have a call with him two days ago, which was dope.
But that's, I'm not saying that at all.
It's just like, I wanted to pay homage, if you will, to some things that I really enjoy. And those two things primarily are board ape and the community aspect and and putting the art on Ape Chain,
even though Ape Chain is much cheaper, doing pixels via SVG is way, way cheaper than trying
to do something like high fidelity. And I had fallen in love with pixel art over the last
four years or whatever I've been here too. And it was something that I had never done.
And I am a creative person by trade. Both my parents were music teachers.
My grandma was an artist, a fine artist.
She did watercolors primarily.
And so art has been something that's always been in my blood.
And I'm a musician myself.
And so I was like, hey, let's just see what I can do.
And I started at pixart.com.
And I can continue this story.
But that's why I started with Bored Bones.
I love the story, man.
And I think ApeChain is so good for all of us apes
to actually bring their creativity
right on chain.
And I don't know
what your vision for your project is,
but I think with other side,
it also opens like door for,
you know, you have your deed
so you can invite your holders, you can invite your holders you can do events
you can do whatever you
want to do there right so it
brings it on another level
something that we couldn't do before
also with gaming etc etc
now we have a spotlight number two
is coming so
it's really cool that
and it's
not like you are new right that's another thing i'm
not saying that if you knew uh you can do a project but for me i said it here many times like
if i know you like i'm minting i don't care i don't even care what you're doing i'm minting
you know to also uh support the journey because i i was i was thinking a lot about what's the biggest issue in Web3 for us especially
and for probably most of the people here in this room right now.
And it's really simple.
It's having a revenue stream.
And it's so hard to have revenue stream in NFTs
because I think the one that works 100 is to mint new nfts
right but you cannot do it like you can do it once twice okay you can drop stickers which also
helps if you are like a big brands like yuga of course you have many more opportunities but
i believe if we find a way and maybe it's gonna come with other side maybe it's going to come with a with the economy there but if we find a way how to have revenue stream it would be so awesome to find it
in web too also right like how to bring more people that will pay you for something i don't
know what it can be it would it would improve everything because the more money you get the
the more you can invest and the the better product
you can build right so i think it's something that that is little overlooked that everyone's
talking about building but we really should like figure something out uh how to you know how to
basically make money right i know tino you have i want to tell you like all the things i'm working
on but i can't today just because i want to like under promise and over deliver.
But I promise you these things that you just said, I'm already like I'm well on the way of figuring out my internal roadmap is very deep.
And I've had conversations already of things that won't happen day one, but they'll happen soon ish.
And the way I'm thinking about it is how can I just sustain the project so I can
do continual cool activations and more like dope things for the community? It has to have some sort
of revenue stream, even if it's microtransactions. There's a million things that you can kind of look
into. And I'm definitely navigating that space. I'm not going to share everything. I'll share
some little like hints potentially of what might be coming. But I mean, I had a call with Rita this morning.
I've talked to Nana about other page and we're going to definitely use other
page tremendously in a way to build community.
Because I just think it's like one of the best ways to do it through bad
systems. And I already have a million plans with that.
That's going to happen day one. So, and I'll get into this a little bit more.
I'm going to throw it back to you, but like, I have plans for day one.
I got, I'm tired of kind of little bit more. I'm going to throw it back to you. But I have plans for day one.
I'm tired of kind of like...
How do I say this?
I know that I'm going to produce things right away.
And I'm going to continue to try to do really fun and cool things along the journey.
I'm not promising Lambos.
I'm promising fun.
Guaranteed.
Yeah.
Love that, man. And I think part you know, part of those revenue stream can be
some, you know, whatever you do, like maybe it will be streaming, it will be some in-game items,
I don't know, but I think we will figure it out quite soon. And it will, it will improve everything.
Tino, go ahead. Yeah, man. I'm very curious. When? When, when, when? What is the
timeline? What's happening? What can we expect? When can we support you? For sure. I'm going to be
sort of vague for a purpose that is like, I don't want to say an exact day, but I can definitely
key you into my thinking here. Um, one thing,
and here's a little bit of like alpha. Yeah, yeah, sure. It's a little bit of alpha. It's
kind of, it definitely ties into the story and lore is, um, back when I was in college,
a long time ago, I had taken an astronomy course, uh, cause I needed a science credit and I'm not,
I wasn't a science major, but I needed a science credit. And I was always interested in the stars
and astronomy moons, planets, all those things. And it was like one of the coolest classes i ever i ever took and so
and this made sense to me too with like bones and it's like this the environment that they're in is
called the void and i'll talk a little bit more about that today as well but it's all about um
there's a connection with the moon and so um i've been looking at moon
cycles and like when new moons happen in moon phases basically and so i'm trying to line that
up with when the mint would start um and that's just to tie in some lore there's um there's a
potential it'll happen towards the end of this month but i think the better bet is probably in
august maybe like the middle of august uh i think the better bet is probably in august
maybe like the middle of august uh again i don't want to rush anything and i got a few things that
i want to make sure are tidy before i press go and also to be fair i started bored bones without
my name attached because i just wanted some organic growth i'm like really tired also to see
like projects that somehow spun up an x account like a month ago and they have like 10,000 followers and you look and it's like 95% bot activity. Like I didn't want that to happen.
And so, um, I just wanted people to, to experience the story and maybe stumble upon it. Um, and now
that my name's attached, hopefully people can ask me questions too. And like jump in my DMs,
like if you have questions, if you have whatever concerns, I mean, anything, you can always hit
me in the DMs and I'll reach back out to you.
Like I love the feedback.
That's important to me.
I know balloons was in here earlier.
He's got a project that's minting right now on a chain.
And I actually have already had conversations with him about helping me with color palette,
which is like dope.
I just met this human like two days ago.
So I am open for feedback.
I'm open for suggestions.
But what I would say is it's
dealing with moon cycles and the reality is it'll probably happen um sometime in the middle-ish of
august probably oh i thought you you were you were gonna say uh because it's full moon today i
believe so i i thought i was surprised surprised surprised surprised guys here's the link no
yeah I just wanted to ask to GPT when the next is next full moon with like one
month I don't I'm not in this stuff man I have no idea the next full moon
according to my information is is August 9th.
So that could be a little alpha.
That would probably be when it is.
Yeah.
I think that's a pretty good guess is what I'll say.
That's not a guarantee.
I don't want to put my exact stamp on it, but that would be a good guess when it happens.
Yeah.
Love that. Love that. a good guess when it happens yeah love that love that so you have a lot of time and there i i
believe there will be a few also a few announcements from uh from other sites so uh that will be very
interesting time um man could you tell us a little bit more about the lore and whatever you can share for the future.
Yeah, I know you can share everything, but whatever you
can, that would be awesome, man.
Yeah, for sure. Absolutely. As I just
stay silent.
Yeah, I'll give you
a little bit of some lore
for sure. And
also, I'll spill a little bit of alpha here
that I hadn't told anybody yet.
And it's with my like kind of larger vision.
And one thing, if you look at the Bored Bones account,
if you're not following it,
like it'd be dope if you did.
Even if you can't mint it,
if the price point, which it won't be expensive,
but if the price point is too expensive for you,
you can still like and retweet stuff.
That's free, which is dope. And the account should be in the space still it's on
my laptop yeah it's down there it's bored bones on ape it's got like a dark purple which is the
the color of this like the void basically um the alpha here is and it's kind of where i'm going
i had created this minesweeper game by myself, literally like the old school Minesweeper,
but I changed it where it's a skull instead of a bomb. And basically this whole thing is like,
the void is always watching. Do you want to try again if you fail? And I have it live on the
website right now internally. This website is not live for you to go to now, but I have this
love for nostalgic, like arcade style games, like simple games. and it's something that i want to do but
there's a larger vision and so the alpha i'll share today is um each nft the the art will be on chain
and but also each nft will have stats and you can uh i guess you can dream or think and assume
speculate on what that means but they'll have different stat
categories randomly assigned um and it won't mean necessarily that the most rare trait would have
the most rare stats it'll all be randomly assigned um i will not be like picking like oh this one's
super rare it's gonna have this really d a you know trait that'll make it i don't want to say too much anyway because that's won't be
like directly tied to do uh rarity so um yeah i have a little i don't know i got a little story
to share if you don't mind if that's fun is that fun 100 yeah go for it all right so again if you
check out some of the board bones tweets as well i did some video and And this is done with 11 Labs, which is an AI voice thing.
And I've been creating the scripts and then running it through different voices.
And the art that you see on the posts that are not the actual NFTs, I've been using AI for that just because it's fun and it's a little bit faster for me to create what I'm envisioning.
But the NFT art is all done by me.
No AI used.
So here you go.
It's a little bit of a script for me.
Hold on.
The art is made by you?
Yeah, dude.
No AI?
The pixel art?
The pixel art that I've shared with you is me.
Yeah.
Wow.
I'll share a couple more at the top of the screen.
Let me do that first before I try to read this script and post. I'll post one. And I'll share a couple more at the top of the screen. Let me do that first before I try to read this script and post.
I'll post one and I'll do another.
If I can multitask, which I think I can.
I'm a dad, but I'm like always multitasking.
I'll try to find a new trait that I haven't shared yet and I'll share it to this space.
Oh, here you go.
So like I'm going to post this at the top.
This one's really special to me and I will jump into this story here.
Is I really wanted to like honor builders and collections that I love in Web3.
And these are collections that maybe I didn't even necessarily own.
Maybe I just saw them from afar.
Maybe there are things that I own, but I liked them for what they did for the space or attempted for the space. And so
the one that should be populated now, and all this pixel art is done by me, by myself, is a
board bones, like a base trait, but it's got the nouns glasses on. And it also has my version of
Frosty's, who's one of my favorite people on the planet, his fade collection that he did on
Ape Chain. I actually have one and i had asked him if he
thought it was cool if i did a background and a pixel style with the fade that i own and he said
he'd be honored if i did that and so i created this uh my own version of the fade that i own
in a pixel version and so that'll be one of the rare backgrounds that you can potentially get but
yeah this pixel art is done by me for sure any Any questions on that? So yeah, the NFT art will be done by me.
That's amazing.
I loved it.
I loved it.
That's great.
All right.
So this will be kind of fun, a little mysterious for sure.
Yeah, because that's part of what I'm building here at Board Bones.
Here we go.
You ready?
Yeah. All right. Let's do it.
I thought you had a question. I was going to wait for the question.
You got a question?
No. All right. Here we go.
Don't mind
screaming children in the background. They're stuck in the
void. It's part of the lore.
Just kidding. They're not. I don't
think so. I love
when you said that you are dead because you know, I'm dead. Yeah, I'm dead. All right. They're not. I don't think so. I love when you said that you are dead because, you know, I'm dead.
Yeah, I'm dead.
All right.
Here we go.
You ever wonder what happened to the ones who got stuck between chains?
They weren't supposed to survive.
The bridge collapsed.
The lights dimmed.
The devs vanished.
But something strange happened.
In the space between the mints and the rugs and the cracks of forgotten roadmaps, ghost towns, they started to wake up.
Bones of explorers, builders, DGens, dreamers, left behind by the chain, not by the culture.
They found each other, and then they got bored.
Bored enough to build, bored enough to poke holes in the dark, bored enough to laugh in the face of the void and then map it out now they're here not for promises not
for hype but for mystery lore and especially fun every mint a whisper every trait a memory
every moon cycle is shift you're not just watching the story you're in it stay bored
stay curious whatever you do don't wake the watcher let's go man I love it I love it I I I
think it has a it has a huge potential bro but Tino go ahead man yeah you
really appreciate this Phil because you know I back in the day when when I
started building around my character and this this was before ChatGPT basically, I created the collection on ETH around a 3D mutant basically.
So I had my mutant being created in 3D by a 3D artist and I always wanted to write a short story.
And right now everybody writes short stories and long stories and everything
because uh it's it's uh it takes them two minutes to do and and back in the day also grateful you
know like when you had to play with your character and uh create a story around him you actually you
know talk to real people talk to real writers uh i had it edited by a real editor. And I think this gives me the appreciation
because no matter if it's created by AI,
co-created with AI by you,
but it's, I mean, just this way of thinking
and the depth of it,
I think this makes me really happy.
So I really feel that you know what you are doing and
uh and obviously you have a big history in the space so i'm i'm definitely super bullish about
the project and just to like more and like and i appreciate that you know i think like to me lore
story building short story long story like all that is like man it's like some of the best
utility you can have actually because it allows people to and this is something also i don't know if i mentioned this but i really enjoy
the forgotten runes project and one thing that i i love that they did and have done is the book of
lore where you can submit your own like versions of stories about your character and that's
something that i'm going to lean into as well with bored bones where i can then take those
characters and kind of weave a story along with there's going
to be 12 one-of-one characters that are like the main drivers of the story and by the way you could
actually hit those on mint like they will be in the mint randomly as like I'm not gonna know
I won't even know like you'll be able to mint those those will be one-of-one characters which
should be fun I'll be like the main storytellers if you will but like every single person if you
own a Bored Bone you're gonna be able to if you want to and you can useellers, if you will. But like every single person, if you own a Bore Bone, you're going to be able to, if you want to.
And you can use ChattyBT if you want.
That's cool, too.
Like you can still craft with with AI tools to make a story that makes sense for you.
Don't make it.
No, you know, don't use one pass.
Do multiple passes and like craft it if writing's not your strong suit.
That's cool.
I just want people to have fun building this like lore behind their character so that I can then weave it in and work with the community on how to weave it into the story. But and more of a like non theatrical way, the void, which is where these board bones have been created and are going to rise.
of like broken promises, like forgotten projects, lost NFTs.
Like that's kind of where they go because maybe along the way during the bear
funding ran out, maybe there's rugs. I mean,
we've all dealt with all of these things.
And so it's this place where we can rise again and like build together,
if you will. It's like space between again, the blockchains,
obviously this one's going to be on ape chain.
That's super imperative to me. And again, these bones,
like they're going to stir, if you will.
They're going to come to life because they're remembering all these old things. And so when I talk about leaning into the culture, leaning into these great builders and collections and members of the community, they remember those.
And it's shown through traits, which I think is really fun.
I actually have a trait.
There'll be others. But G-Spot spot if you don't know him you should he's a new newer ape and he came through ape chain and
um just a good human being he had talked to me a lot about like he wanted the cigarette trait
and i said bet and so i have this trait and it's called g spot that's what his name is on
on x and it's and it's this trait that he wanted created and so i have this trait and it's called g spot that's what his name is on on x and it's
and it's this trait that he wanted created and so like these are things the fade background
obviously because i love frosties i have other things that you'll see i don't want to give
everything away um i'll pull a when i stop talking when i shut up i'll pull a a new trait that i
haven't shared yet and i'll make a post on Bored Bones and pin it in here. But again, it's like the Bored Bones want to build with the community,
want to build with other people.
And I'm the creator, if you will.
Me, Phil.
Love it, man.
And do we know how or do you want to announce how big the collection is?
Are we looking into like hundreds, thousands?
For sure.
I can definitely do that so um and there's still uh i don't want to give too much away here there's a chance that
this collection could shrink take that for however you want to after mint out if you choose to
do something i think that's pretty obvious but, the original mint collection will be 4,200, um, mint price.
I'm not positive yet, but, um, I told you about moon cycles. A moon cycle is approximately like
28, 29 days. And so I'm kind of thinking maybe that's the price in eight, but I'm not sure yet.
Like maybe it's 28, eight, because again, this moon cycle tied in, um, the key for me is to have
some sort of runway that I can do some of these fun things that I'm creating already with other people as well.
So that's way more information that I was going to share.
But let me, I'm going to pull up one.
Let's see what trait I can share that I haven't shared yet.
Maybe the MF Doom mask.
People like that usually.
I can share that.
Do you have any trade for Rita?
Yeah, it's the guy that has the stick,
like chasing after everybody, saying, get off my lawn.
No, I'm just joking.
Rita's the goat.
I do not have one currently, but that doesn't mean it won't happen.
I'm still – oh, I know what I'll do.
I'll share.
This is fun.
If Bad Teeth's still here, yeah, he here yeah it is okay bad teeth will appreciate this i love the idea of the potential of these
like traits that run and work really well together you know sometimes that happens where it's like oh
my gosh i just binked it and it's like all these traits that actually create this like one-on-one
character right it's like that maybe it doesn't show up as rare, but it all ties together.
I'll share one.
I don't think I've shared this all together,
so I will.
And this will be,
and it actually is perfect
because Bad Teeth is rocking this kind of wear.
It's actually a cowboy that could potentially hit
where you bink all of it
and it looks like a true cowboy.
I'll go ahead and give me like one second and i'll post this up on the
board bones account and i'll put it up here you could potentially um hit this through the mint
and it's not a one-on-one character which again i think that's fun so i try to do some of that where
i have um some stuff crafted that again if it if it goes together it can make it i forget what
it's even called but it's not rare it's uh gosh bless america bad teeth will come up here and slap me
that i don't remember what it's called but um whatever it is he had he had worked on like
this way to rank um nfts that wasn't necessarily like a rare trade it was like if it all flowed
together and i'm speaking in way too much language but um here
i'll say um howdy from the void and i'm gonna post this in about 30 seconds and i'll tag ape chain
as well so again you could potentially hit something like this it's got a a relatively
plain background but it works well it's called the bone background shocker i had to have something
like that um here we go so again this has got um let me find it now hopefully it's automatic
how fast is x this is what happens when you're the one man wrecking crew all right here we go
it should populate here on the top this is one that you could potentially hit which to me is like man that's like such a ba cowboy he's got and you can see actually the g
spot trait which is that cigarette with the digital like smoke going up which is fun i got
this like vest got the got the thematic rarity thank you bad teeth yes that's exactly what i'm
talking about so you could hit this where it's got the cowboy hat.
It's got the eye patch.
It's got a sig.
It's got the cowboy vest.
You could hit this all together and it would look, in my opinion, pretty dope.
So I really enjoyed crafting these.
It's something I'm doing every day, like just trying to figure out the right ones.
And the cool part about this too, man, I've had a lot that I go through and I'm still
like fixing some and changing some it's like
you'll go through and you're like nah that was garbage you know you just delete you start again
um it's not like i can promise you i have done way more trades i'll never see the light of day
than then we'll see just because i wanted to make sure something like looked good and hit so um
it's been fun a lot of fun this one should just be called bad teeth probably because it kind
of looks like it's pfp oh man that's a pfp for sure looks like a legend uh anyways uh uh we
kind of uh me and grateful would be happy for a chocolate trade i'm just saying you know done
easy got it i got you yeah that's great idea man i would love that no that's for sure
and again like i'm i will be finishing up the art the plan is to finish the art let's see today's
thursday i'm hoping it's all done so i can start testing some of the functionality of svg files
hopefully by uh early next week or midweek but you've got like i would say five-ish days if you've got like
dude i'd love to see this trait and maybe it's a trait that's never been done before i'm all for
that like i don't need it to be all the same old same old traits i've got some fun things i got a
squid game uh track suit trait um i got some stuff that's fun i did a glitch trait that i've shared
already on a skin it's my favorite skin type it'll be rare um and it was because i liked some of the glitch art
that i've seen x copy oh here you go here's some alpha i'm spelling way too much there's a one of
one character um and his name is one moment please i don't want to mess it up because i have it
located down here just gotta scroll forever he is called the neon howler pretty ba and he is definitely
um in the x copy-esque style and it's a one of one and it'll be one of the characters that you
can hit and it'll be kind of in the style of x copy as a board bone and i think it's really really
fun and it was fun to create so uh there'll be more of that again there's gonna be 12 one of
one characters that you could potentially mint there will also be
these thematic rarity things bad teeth that you can hit as well like I'm trying
to do some of that there's a Terminator eye trait there's a leather jacket so
you can maybe even hit the Terminator
let's go man I love that guys you see the pin tweets you can follow the board
bones account there so you just click that follow them, you see the pinned tweets? You can follow the Bored Bones account there. So you just click that, follow them, and you can stay tuned.
Phil, how can people actually participate right now?
One thing following, of course, but is there a way how to get on a low list somehow
or how the Mint will work?
It's a great question, and I'm glad you asked it
because I would have forgotten to talk about it.
So I mentioned a bit about how I really enjoyed the gobs on ApeMint
just because you had this allocation of collections on ApeChain
and also off ApeChain.
He even did it with Mintators
where there was like maybe 100 for these different collections.
I've actually already started building this in the smart contract itself. There will be a public phase as well. Cause I'll leave
some for public. I think that's important, but there is, let's see how many projects I have on
the allow list right now. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 15.
It looks like about 22.
I should do moon cycles, right?
I should do 29 collections.
I've got 22 on here, and those include ETH projects
like Bored Apes, Mutant Apes, CODAs.
Shout out to Frosties.
I know he always wants CODAs to give love,
and I got a CODA, and I got to give love.
All their deeds is on here as well.
And then you've got Ape Chain projects like Fade,
Bush Babies, Typical Tigers. There's all kinds of them on here. Shapes, Bailey. Shout out to Bailey. here as well and then you've got ape chain projects like fade bush babies um typical tigers there's
all kinds of them on here shapes bailey shout out to bailey um and there'll be some allocation and
it should be fun hopefully like that's the idea is to make it fun and to make it where um everyone
has a shot to get one like that's the idea is like you make it where it's hard for like i'll use
myself fill to mint like a thousand of them i don't want that to happen i don't i don't want it to be bought into hex and so if you have to hold some of these
collections and um and you can only get like one mint from that collection so like let's say i hold
pen fade i would still only get one allocation one allocation of those 50 or 100 allocation
that's for that specific collection it's's a lot of what James did,
and I actually really appreciated it. And then again, whatever's left after,
I'll probably do like 24 hours or something. It'll go to public after that. And then they'll
probably be between 500 and 1,000 that are available for public mint. And that's by design
too, because if there's somebody that maybe hasn't collected and they jump in, I mean,
I'll be honest, it'd be kind of hard to believe if there's somebody that maybe hasn't collected and they jump in, I mean, it'd be, I'll be honest.
It'd be kind of hard to believe if they don't have at least one of these projects that I'm
allocating for, but even so, even so if you miss out, um, there'll be a chance to do it
public and I'm trying to make it fun, trying to make it engaging.
And truly the key here is I'd like it to have a lot of holders that actually want to hold
building community.
That doesn't mean you can't sell.
I'm not saying that at all.
You can always flip, you can always flip you can trade
you can sell that's all part of this thing but I want it to be as dope and
unique and wide-ranging community as I can
man I I'm having such a formal I need to mint so I really hope that you do it the
way that every guest on Grateful Show does it.
So basically, yeah, you can mint hundreds to my wallets right away.
Yeah.
During the mint.
Thank you, man.
No, I'm kidding.
I'm kidding.
I'm kidding.
You know what I will do, though, is I'll jump in Sean's DMs.
I'll come back on the Grateful Show maybe the week of,
and we can do a,
I think we can do this,
or maybe the week before,
we'll do a badge.
And if anybody has that,
there'll be an allocation
for The Grateful Show.
Oh, yes.
Man, guys,
my math is off right now,
but I would say in 39 minutes,
Outer Space FM,
you should be there.
They are our sponsors.
And I have it on to-do list.
I need to, I need to create illustration of Nana giving me zero ape coin
every week.
So I'm going to create it today and I'm going to share it,
but definitely go there.
A lot of other side announcements happen.
We don't want to talk about everything here because other space is the place to be because they started the show after the first trip which is back in 2022 i think
so they've been consistent as hell i loved i loved it i loved it also talking about announcements
uh damn there are so many announcements on the timeline about apepeCoin, about ApeFest. I'll shut up here because...
Yeah, Tino. ComplexCon. What the f**k is ComplexCon? I have no idea. I never heard of that.
Oh, s**t. Now it's embarrassing. Okay, I heard of it. Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay.
Okay, beginning in 2024, the festival expanded to Las Vegas. And the next edition is scheduled for October 25th and 26th at a Las Vegas convention center.
That's what I remember.
I didn't read that.
It's an experimental celebration of youth and pop culture.
So I don't know what we're going to do there.
Wait, so Pop-A-Scon is actually during A-Fest?
I know, and they have a partnership somehow and it's gonna be so it is
yeah so for the culture if you want you know if if there's a cool brand uh that you like you want
to see it on complex corn that's for sure and now we're gonna be there as fucking apes bro let's go
baby let's go and we to be streaking through complex.
Oh, maybe not.
I don't know, man.
Maybe not.
Maybe.
Sorry.
Yeah.
Too excited.
Did you see the freaking Ape Fest tickets going live too?
That just got posted five minutes ago.
They're going to be live on July 14th.
Holy smoke. We're just getting all
the smoke i think it's because you know we had to talk about bored bones and they said
we're gonna drop some alpha here too for the bored apes let's go it's got a fun beam me up like image as well from garga if you saw that it's pretty dope
oh my god i can't wait guys it's so hyped that's gotta be crazy i also see who's big
here on stage who's big do you have any questions for phil or do you want to share anything
or maybe you just vibing here and chilling who knows right but phil we have like five more
minutes because we have some uh some meet up and then we gotta uh we gotta go to other space so
oh yeah who's bigs here? Who's back?
Hey, no, my man, I was fucking driving, so I had to fall over real quick.
Bro, you always drive. What you doing, man? You just drive.
That's my career. That's what I do.
Oh, that's amazing. So you're like Forrest Gump, right? Like you start running and so you start driving and you kept driving.
Love it.
Yeah, I started and I kept
driving, man, to the end. To the wheels
fall off, what they say, bro. Man, happy to be
here. Back at the
grateful show. Ape Chain on top.
Tino, what it do, baby?
Hey, Illa. Glasses
King. Good to see you down there.
Love. Ape Chain on top. Let's keep building.
Let's keep growing. Ape Chain
on top, baby. Love building. Let's keep growing. ApeChain on top, baby.
Love it.
Quack, quack.
Phil, is there anything we forgot to ask you?
Anything you would like to share?
Whatever you want to share, man.
Ila's here because those crazy announcement on the timeline. And he's like, motherfucking. He doesn't know what complex code is that European MFR so not
He doesn't have AC. He doesn't have ice in water and he doesn't know what complex code is
Yeah, he was like that for sure. He's in my DMs right now. He's like man educate yourself. I'll do you I promise
Educate yourself.
I'll do Ila.
I promise.
Bro, Ila's gonna teach you.
He's gonna, you know, he's gonna make sure that you know.
But man, with AI, man, I learned so much about it.
I'll know about all the performers there.
It's good.
Make sure to wear like a meta glasses or something, you know, and you'll just be there.
Oh, sure.
Yeah, man. ComplexCon, it's such a historical something, you know, and, uh, you'll just be there. Oh, sure. Yeah, man.
Complex con.
It's such a historical thing, you know, for anything culture related.
I love that. Expect over 300 streetwear brands there, bro.
Man, you should be there as your brand.
That would be crazy.
Do it, man.
I would love to, if I could afford it.
Bro, if only problem is money, like it's the easiest problem you can have drop the ca drop
the ca bro but uh phil is there anything that uh you would like to share um that you would like to
add and maybe we forgot to ask you no i would just say um i truly believe what i'm building is going to be great um
fun uh great on-chain art which is cool like if that vibes with you it definitely vibes with me
and even if it doesn't matter to you the art's gonna be fun um and if you like community building
if you like um interacting being part of the story you like lore story um this is the project for you
i'm excited to do it um I've had a lot of fun building
it. I think that's imperative. I've been saying it on the timeline a lot is that we just need more
fun. I'm going to try to bring my own version of fun through Bored Bones on Ape. And that will be
through story. That'll be through on-chain art. That'll be through a simple arcade and then some much bigger plans that may or may not have to do with
an original game that would be still pixel, but original.
Original.
And I love merch.
I'll just say that.
Love it, Phil.
We're going to be here for the mint.
I can't wait.
It's going to be epic.
Yeah, we have to do batch with other side,
other side,
with other page, of course.
Yeah, other side, other page.
Because that's definitely dope.
Guys, I think they'll talk a little bit about other page
during other space.
So definitely join them in 32 minutes.
I had a blast today today it's so hype to
talk about ape chain i know we have many announcement about announcements about other
side also bathroom blitz is coming soon right uh ape fest tickets ape fest announcements ape i saw
ape coin announcement spotlight damn what a summer that's definitely not boring summer so i'm grateful to be here with
you guys we're gonna have another banger episode on tuesday i see betty here he's been cooking so
much i need to i need to do research there too because betty has been cooking so much on ape
chain uh so yeah phil thank you so much for joining. Good luck with the collection. I believe it's going to mint out quickly.
I love the art. I love you, man, personally, because you've been here for ages.
You've been always building something, which is awesome, and you are Pink Ape, so that's an extra point for you.
Yeah, you have five extra points for being Pink Ape and four
and minus four points for being
Orange Background.
I thought we would have one show
in 383
episodes without mentioning the word
background. Did not happen.
Oh my God, we were so close, Phil.
