Thank you. Thank you. Yo, yo, yo, what's good boys?
Taco Taco Tuesday. Taco Taco Tuesday.
Switch that over. Let's not do that. Let's not do that.
Really nice NFT today. Oh, yeah? What was it?? Let's go. How are things? I got a banger. Really nice NFT today.
I don't remember seeing that color combination.
Oh, boy. I have no clue. Oh, boy.
Do you think that Blubber... Sorry, I minted an additional 20.
But do you think they could take that off
so, like, occasionally I can just mint one?
You know, as it gets closer to the end?
Because I don't want to have to put NFTs in another wallet.
Like changing from like, if you've been just open it up so people can mint as many as they
I mean, I'll let it, I'll let it play out for the next day or two.
I mean, we'll see where we're at.
I mean, I don't think anybody's minting 20 right now, but I mean, maybe Ernest minted 20, but.
I minted one and I minted it in my other wallet and I would, I did that with Skelly friends and I would prefer not to have to transfer everything.
Yeah, we'll see how it goes. Like I said, I.
We got, we got some time. We got some time, but I wanted to say what's up to everybody in the room.
It's been busy today, you know, just, uh, working on stuff, devising stuff.
I was just off a call with Jabril.
Uh, we got some got some cool stuff cooking.
Like I said, you know, I told you guys before, like, it doesn't matter the day before yesterday,
yesterday, today, it doesn't stop me being in the spaces building and building on Ape Chain,
building for World of Ting, building for other games. That doesn't change. It just accelerates
everything more because there's a lot of things I want to start rolling out now that we have both collections on
I'll give a little Alpha tonight. Don't worry.
I'll give some Alpha tonight.
I like Alpha. You know that.
Yo, dude, please open up the mint for pamela
please i mean pamela sent me six messages today i didn't send you any today please let's get the
let's get the mint open i sent you a message yesterday that yes you could have the the nf
the pink nft that ied. That was the only message
when we get to like $7,000.
No, there's no point right now, Pamela.
You know what I mean? Pamela just wants to be able to mint.
You know, every time I talk to Blender, they're going to charge me,
Pamela. Oh, I did not know that i'm okay yeah it's like they're like can i just do a shameless plug right now
no they're like go ahead so at at owie fyi uh our our launch pad um everything's included you know
what you it's your contract. You have all the
tools as the person putting together and building it. You don't need to ever get back to anybody.
It's all there ready for you to go. Just a shameless plug for Uwe.
Yeah, it's all good, bro. And you guys, it also comes with a stake on a platter every
time you want to use their platforms.
I mean, you just told everybody the name of our token is called
steak on a platter oh shit it's okay uh-uh yeah that's our currency steak on a platter
oh yeah it's called soap i'll never i'll never remember that if you ask me tomorrow with my old age, you know, I'm like. Just remember the word soap.
Anyways, what's going on, Sid?
Everything's good, brother.
I thought that turnout yesterday was fantastic.
You know, I'm super pumped and excited for you.
Yeah, dude, that's all I can say.
I think it went fantastic.
Yeah, it went great for a first day mid-party.
We haven't done one in a long time.
I'll be honest like you know the response
we got especially when most people probably didn't really know about the project or even
that i had a project until like three weeks ago so you know again that was intentional my my time
in the space is to connect it's not that it's not you know for me to just push push push right if
people like the stuff they'll they'll like it you know whether they like it because the art
whether they like it because they just vibe with me and you know or whether just supporting because
it's an ape chain project everybody has their choices right but um you know for me it's just
i just want to be here to build as you know i've always been wanting to be somewhere where i can
build and put my ideas to paper and eventually to the people that support and yeah we're gonna get there bro there's a lot of cool things that um are coming i'll talk about some of it tonight and give some
uh some alpha um you know it's not gonna be it won't be overnight just to be very clear
but let's just say um stuff will start moving fast i know most people in the room here are part of
chapter two which is robots you know we do have chapter one which is bgg and and again whether people decide to be joining our original chapter
that's totally up to them um it doesn't affect what they're going to get with what they have
with robots um does it play a part in the long-term strategy yeah 100 but as it stands today
like there's no impact so if somebody's minting a robot, it's not contingent
They must have a BGG to move forward in terms of all
of our perks and utility. It's
How many did you pick up yesterday?
I bought another one today.
You know, I got the legendary and some others.
some others but I already um I onboarded a couple of people and so you know it's about
But I already, I onboarded a couple of people.
getting people into the community and seeing the value because I know
if I think I know what hype's going to talk about there is value and there is utility
um yeah it's I think it's awesome I you know the robots my favorite, and I have all the spikes.
Well, not all of them, but I have a good portion of them.
By the way, Tess, that is a heater.
If some of you guys are not in the chat group, let me know, and I'll add you.
I know everybody doesn't want to be in multiple chat groups,
but unlike a lot of other chat groups groups you will get a lot of alpha
there especially for those that don't use discord um yeah give me a second i'm gonna add you close
i added i had the world of things account of those but it's on my other phone in the background
and all i hear is echoing so it's driving the fucking nuts oh i'm sorry bro no no it's okay
i'm just gonna i'm just gonna everybody if you going to please repost the room
because this is not a normal time
what's up Lisa Lisa, Jabril
what's up Nifty's World, Caprice
so I can get on the commercial
See, I always say G to the R to the Y to the Z.
And I know that's not how he pronounces it, but I think it sounds good because it's kind of like a little rap.
So just hi to everybody in the room, and we're glad that you're here today with us.
And, yeah, just wanted to say that.
I'm adding, again, guys, you don't, there's no, there's no must to stay in the chat group
So, but I'm adding people that want to be in there.
Um, again, I don't take offense to be honest.
There's too many fucking chat groups, but, um, you know, when I go in there, I'll definitely
least personally drop some some alpha or drop some things i think are cool that you guys can feed off
of i hope you guys like the 3d and the the full bodies i created transparently that's ai but at
the end of day you guys can see exactly what these potentially could look like in in 3d as well as
you know in a game environment so i just wanted to throw it out there like throwing, you know, in a game environment. So I just wanted to throw it out there, like throwing a, you know, meat on a bone
and just throwing it out there for you guys to take a look.
So yeah, I think they look really cool.
If you guys haven't seen the BGGs when they're 3D
and they're full size as well from our first collection,
And they actually look really cool together, paired up,
where they're kind of like fighting each other.
And again, this is part of the lore part of our
brand but I just again I want to show you guys what the potential here is to put these in 3D
and put them onto like a nifty or uh you know uh potentially like another side when we when we build
out our our our deed um yeah I think it's really cool and so um but we'll fill up the room and
then I'll start talking more about what's going on.
Congratulations to whoever ended up minting 6250. That was the first legendary of three.
There's, there's two more in the collection and the collection goes to 7,500,
but there's two more in the mix. And like I said before,
everybody that has purchased a mint for 5727 to 5727 to 7,500 will all qualify for that last legendary in a raffle.
So, you know, if somebody scoops up one of the ones on the floor,
or if there's one that's listed,
I think the funny part of this, Pamela, is you know what's going to happen?
I'm going to announce a winner.
I'm going to announce a winner, and then that one's going to be listed on the floor,
and somebody's going to go buy it right away
because they're not going to know it's a legendary, that person that listed, and the person that does will go scoop it up. I guarantee somebody's going to go buy it right away because they're not they're going to they're not going to know it's a legendary that person that listed and the person that does
will go scoop it up i guarantee that's going to happen i'm going to do the the raffle when it's
all done live but i can just see like token number like 5924 listed for like 228 and then
it gets announced and then just people just go see it on the floor and just it's it's going to be
gone like nothing so there might be somebody that hasn't been
paying attention and they just
meant to support it and then all of a
sudden it's like what is this crap
it's just a word and put I can see
100% I gotta find this one thing I was doing
this for Reckon give me a sec
here I was gonna do did I do his 3D
He's taking care of his granddaughter while his son, he's in the Marines.
And she's the cutest thing running around the beach with him.
He does a little poker with them.
It's good when you have good people
Do you guys see that one I just posted?
I'm going to go there now.
I got my PC going and my phone going.
I mean, how much would you guys love?
I like the Voyagers on the other side.
But imagine having these robots on the other side instead of the Voyagers.
No, I just posted it in the chat group.
Well, there's a lot that I missed today.
The yellow with the orange background.
I'm going to create one for Tusk real quick. uh shout out to the board gazette i don't know
if you guys just saw that they just dropped an article on uh world of tings and robots so
you know if you want a snapshot in time of like kind of the vision of the the brand it's not
extensive but it kind of gives you my thought process about why we're building why we're here
um i hope you guys enjoy it.
Shout out to everyone in the room. Again, Lisa, Lisa,
thank you for being here. Caprice, my boy.
It's a bro. I'm good. I know it's getting late for you. Cuban, what's up? Tess Campbell again.
Al One. What's good, homie?
Al One's been a long time holder
even though he rocks with
No, I'm just playing I'm playing, bro.
He's rocking his DJ and tunes.
But anyways, he's with the hops as well.
But yeah, Al's been around for a long time with us.
Marathon, my boy, what's up? What's good?
Loving you cranking out those 3D videos.
Of course, Uwe and Nifty's, which is Sid's companies.
Grizz, again, the aspiring nobody.
Yeah, I mean, you you know it's uh it's
been a good day we've uh we've hit uh another milestone i think we hit a legendary in the mix
so we've got two more to go in the in the collection we're at 60 i think 62 62 kind of
nice round number um so we're like 84 of the mint um yeah like i said guys there's no pressure to
mint out but we're getting closer, which is kind of cool.
Of course, once we mint out,
there's some things we're going to be doing right away.
But yeah, no, like I said, today's been a good day.
First thing I thought of was you guys,
and what's the next thing for me to push forward and grind?
Because that's just my attitude.
I grind for the space, I grind for the ape chain,
and now, like I've told Pamela in the past,
now I got 140 new people that I got to be responsible for
in terms of people in my community.
So thank you guys for being here,
and thank you guys for being a part of it.
So I'll talk a bit about robots and the plan forward,
but I'll talk a little bit about BGG as well
just because, again, there's not a requirement to get a BGG.
Cause some of you guys have asked about the first collection,
but I will talk about how they can formulate and come together a bit.
there's no requirement just to be very clear that like you guys don't have
I bought a robot and I got to go buy this other thing.
Like there's no requirement,
but let me tell you a bit about what's going to happen with robots.
So it's part of our milestone and roadmap over the next three or four months,
we're dropping two airdrop collections.
They're free to you guys as long as you're holding,
but there's things in place before that,
that hopefully it brings value to Ape Chain.
I'm not asking you guys to mint a million balls.
Okay. There's not going to be that whole idea around,
I got to go mint a million balls to get this free NFT that Hype's going to deliver to us.
That being said, though, I want to contribute on-chain in terms of transactions.
And it's no different than you guys interacting and game-playing with anything else you're doing today.
The only difference is that the way it's going to work is this.
And again, it'll be posted up in a version of a doc
but also i'll be putting it on the timeline as well and so this is how it's going to work so
probably in a few weeks we're going to be starting to work on the bgg portion of that free free men
coming out in the future that free men is called sidekicks it's a companion to the kids it's part
Only the kids can see these companions. And let me, let me walk you through this before I walk
through robots, but think of it in the same kind of concept. So the way it's going to work is that
we're building at our website. It's going to be revamped. And on the website, if you own a BGG,
whether you own one, a hundred, 200, it doesn't matter. The point is you're going to go to our
website. You're going to go there every day and you're going to earn like a lemonade token just like kids would have a lemonade stand
and with that earned token you're going to be able to then get a free mint into sidekicks
and that sidekick is going to be paired with your bgg i'll stop right there and go to robots
with robots you're basically going to go to our website and you're
going to basically recharge the bot every day so every day you recharge the bot you're going to
earn energy and with that energy you're going to be able to mint an orb so if you guys have seen
some of the teasers in the last like three pictures i posted in the chat group those orbs are basically
like little circular objects and so you're going
to be able to mint an orb now how does it all come together hype you're like what okay fuck i got
another free mint coming to me cool what does it even matter so step one is to basically earn your
orb and to earn your pet once that's done we've done what basically apechain has asked us to do
the last two weeks which is to basically add value on change with transactions,
which we're going to do and give our part to earning those transactions on chain.
The next piece is we're going to then take those,
HETs and Orbs, along with your BGG and robots,
and gamify creating multipliers.
Okay, so simply think of things like Aloe.
Think of things like the Spotlight in terms of like how multipliers work and those multipliers will earn you one of three things rewards
so my plan is i'm going to be talking with lycos is to create a staking mechanic that you guys can
be drip back value in terms of like ape, earning rewards in terms of keeping the points
or the level of your stake high.
So that eventually, and this is going to take
probably a few months, guys, for that portion,
just not like it's overnight.
Like I said, this is more of like a six month kind of stretch
because in six months, the plan is to have our own deed,
have our own land and plot,
have somebody develop our assets
and be able to start doing some of what you guys see already on the other side.
The goal is to take those points.
And when you hit a certain level of points by staking,
you'll have access to certain emotes,
certain skins, and certain areas within our land.
And this is the best part, guys.
You don't have to burn it.
Whatever kind of concept of token or coin we create to multiply, you'll never have to burn it,
which means that when you burn it to get below a level, you no longer have access. Once you hit a level and go up, you'd never have to go backwards. So as we end our collections, whether it's robots,
BG or future collections, you never have to worry about
what happens after that hype so yes we're gamifying a bit maybe there's no value long term if you're
not a gamer but this is this is like linear towards metaverses specifically right again
there's going to be opportunities to earn rewards tokens skins emot. But eventually the long-term plan is that we do this so that we can actually
monetize it and the stuff you guys own.
Maybe you can sell to some of the people that onboard into web three and into
our ecosystem on, on, on our deed.
Maybe there's some kids that onboard through us, through the experience of IP
and toys that want to start getting into the gameplay.
And you guys don't want a very limited emote that you guys have.
Cause you have 200,000 points that those emotes you can sell to somebody else for a thousand bucks because they
really, really want it. So I'm going to try to gamify it in that regards and earn value
from that for you guys to just literally have a BGG, have a robot, have an orb, have a pet,
hold whatever you hold and let it multiply.
Again, guys, for you guys that are holding robots, hold tight.
There's another collection coming for you guys that are free.
If you have a BGG, some of you guys do, some of you guys don't.
If you have a BGG Classic, you will be getting a pet.
It will eventually come to you regardless,
but we want to create this gamified kind of opportunity
through the lemonade stand
and through the re-energizing of the bots.
And yes, is it something that sounds like
it's outside of the story and the lore?
It's actually built into the lore a bit,
but not as highly focused as, we're not focusing on these kids standing around
a lemonade stand and we're not focused on these, these bots being energized as
This is just part of their, their, their life.
Um, but again, ultimately we're giving you guys value through another, a free
mint and you guys can do whatever you want.
You want to sell it, keep it, do whatever the hell you want with it.
You can just stake it and hold onto it and make multipliers and grow with the community.
And what we're trying to build just from Gamify,
that's literally what it'll be
is that little component within our brand
is this one stream, which is Gamified.
And you guys can participate in that.
And then we're going to still build
all this stuff on the side.
This is just kind of that main focus.
So, and again, with your pet and your kid,
With your robot and your orb,
you can sell it or you can hold on to it.
It's totally up to you guys, right?
So anyways, that's a little bit of alpha.
I'll talk more about it tonight as we keep going.
But the more robots you have,
obviously the more BGDs you have,
it'll just be better for you in the future.
And again, I'm not pushing anybody.
Have one, be a part of this, and you'll do well. Have more, you'll do extremely well.
So I'm just trying to gravitate towards things I think that are working in the ecosystem of Ape
Chain. Spaller did great. The multipliers did really well. Yes, I know the balls sucked and
having to min and spin them. We're not going to go that drastic. You're literally going to have
to go once a day and literally hit a button
and claim your lemonade tokens.
You're going to literally have to go in once a day
based on how many robots you have.
And then once we get to a certain benchmark in time,
which gives our artists time to actually do the art,
including Jabril and Jody,
then we will do the mint.
And however many, in this case,
adoption papers you have for the pets you will
get that many pets in terms of orbs depending how much energy level you're at whether it's 100 70
50 you've got equal amount of orbs to your actual bot and that will give you your multipliers
combined so you have a robot and a bgg and an orb and a pet. Of course, your multiplier will be higher.
If you have multiples of those assets, it'll be even higher than that.
Anyways, I'll stop right there.
It is, but it's all ready to go on paper.
I just, I have it all written up.
I mean, I was just thinking, I only have to push the button one time though, right?
That is the plan, Pamela.
If I have to push it 400 and plus times, I'm going to-
No, I'm- Well, you might have to if you have 400.
Every one of the robots you have, you'll have to do it individually for sure.
So I have to push the button 432 times you
bet if you have 432 robots actually i have more than that because i bought yes you will have to
because that's different from you having to mint 10 000 balls and then actually having to like
spend 10 000 balls for most of you guys you'll have to like literally do an energy update once
a day with like three robots no it's not you get you get orbs based on your energy you'll have to like literally do an energy update once a day with like three robots no it's not
you get orbs based on your
energy you'll get orbs based
on your energy yes but you'll get
orbs based on how much energy
you produce in that period of time before we mint
of the orbs out there they may have
different multipliers based on the rarity
wow I told you Pamela I'm coming out swinging Some of the orbs out there, they may have different multipliers based on the rarity.
I told you, Pamela, I'm coming out swinging.
I fucking told you, like people, people don't realize what I'm building.
So now, you know, and it's recorded.
Yeah, it's okay. You've been doing this for a while and, you know,
little things at every turn and people have to know that, you know, like you said, you came out
swinging. Yeah. I just, I want people to realize, and I know some people have known me a little
longer than others. I mean, Sid, you know, we talked about it yesterday and Sid obviously
threw me flowers and I appreciate that.
I love to build outside the box.
I'm not an inside type of box guy.
I'll build within the constraints of the platform,
which is crypto and an ape chain.
But anything outside of that,
I'm not staying within those lanes.
when it comes to like having a mint,
you know, putting shit on the timeline.
when it comes to if I have a little bit of a tool available to me,
whether it's an idea, a dev, an artist, I will completely go outside the box.
Because everybody's experience here, I want to be different.
I don't want to be the same as everybody else in the space.
I just want to be different.
And I want people to appreciate that they're part of something different. And I want them to be proud.
They're part of something different.
And that's all it comes down to.
It's nothing bad or good to any other projects.
I just like to do my shit different.
And I'm going to keep doing it different.
Like me throwing out these 3D images and throwing out different shit on the timeline for people to see.
That's just me having fun because I'm different.
Like, you know what I mean?
Most people are like, yo, you got to keep that reserved and inside and quiet. Why? Like, you know what i mean most people like yo you gotta keep that reserved and inside and quiet why like you know what i mean like what's the
point if people like this shit try to build it for them if people like the 3d assets that we're
throwing out there and they're they're throwing up like hearts emojis and flames and commenting
and saying this is fire why not try to find a way to build it
i love 3d assets i mean because i've got a couple of them in my house now and of different projects.
And the robots that you're making with the full body, I could just see the little robots
running around Nifty's Island.
And, you know, just, yeah, it's so cool.
It really is yeah like i said it's guys at the end
of the day this is meant to be fun for you guys um ultimately what a founder should do at least
in my opinion what a founder should do is keep you guys engaged and entertained and feel like
you're valued while we're building not Not everything can be built in one day.
A lot of stuff takes time to ship in terms of building.
So in the meantime, you know, not to say you're focused on one project,
because I know a lot of us are just in a lot of different projects.
I'm not saying, again, this is your number one project.
At the end of the day, it could be your lowest project on the totem pole.
But my goal is to keep you guys engaged to a point where it's like,
yo, Hype's actually doing stuff for us.
versus me selling my shit
because Hype's doing nothing for me.
So my goal is to at least keep you guys engaged enough
where as long as when I'm building,
you guys see the rewards at the end of it,
then I've done my job, right?
It's not just like Hype's here.
If you'll build in two years,
in two years I can do a lot more things.
I can be disengaged and I can go fuck off.
Like, I just rather people be like, all right, hype, I'm here.
I got my main communities.
I'll be here to support you.
And when it's done, I'm here to try it out.
And if I love it, I'll stay bullish.
You know, you don't, there are so many communities and being that I have
Nitro, you know, it's like I can't even spend time in half of the communities I'm in. I do support
people by buying their NFTs, but there's spaces and this is where we grow and learn. And then we
come over to X and like you said, there's a lot of the DM chats and you can't do it all you have to pick
those ones that you have a passion for and I've been with you a long time and I I have a passion
for this so you know go do what you all got to do um and know that I'm seeing so much growth in
ape chain doesn't no shade on any other chain but i'm seeing things on here that i really really
like especially the gas fees and my wallet is just like getting over stuff now so you know i've
you know it sounds it sounds kind of like corning away but you know for me i'm sure a lot of founders
are like this when they see their stuff come to life on the paper and then be put on a timeline it's a rewarding feeling you know what I mean this is what makes
the mint itself rewarding as a founder not not the fact the mint goes from like this percent to this
percent it's more just like people enjoy the art and they're supporting and even if they're not
minting like they're just still supporting that's a cool that's a cool thing for me right ultimately
we're going to count about a 7500 and that's it right it's a cool thing for me right ultimately we're gonna count
about a 7500 and that's it right it's a number is gonna be a number at the end of the day
regardless but for me it's like seeing the stuff on the timeline is really cool but my job is to
maintain and sustain that like how do we keep people our community bullish on what we're doing
right and so for me like i said said, yesterday was yesterday. The day
was the day before is the day before today's just another day for me. Right. It's another day on
Ape Chain supporting Ape Chain. It's another day that I'm planning for the other side and other
games on Saturday. It's also me just planning for the future of our brand. Like that doesn't change.
Like I wake up today is no different. The only difference now I said is that we have 130 plus
more members of this community
that I got to look out for because they put their trust in me.
At the end of the day, plain and simple, right?
So it's like having new customers in your restaurant, whether they come back or not,
But if they do, you got to make sure that experience is always the same every time,
is always the same every time if not better.
But am I catching motherfuckers
on other side playing red light, green light
and you move and I tell you to move to the side
I will kick you out of the project.
I see some of these guys in the room
moving when they're not supposed to
and I'm like, yo, get off the field.
They're still walking and I'm like, do'm like, yo, get off the field. They're still walking.
And I'm like, do you not hear me?
When I get in other games mode and you don't get off the field, I will burn your fucking NFT.
Have you been day drinking?
I'm just kidding. Yeah. yeah yeah i don't know i'm gonna
call nick he's not in the room but nick saturday i was like yo nick you're knocked out green light
starts moving again i'm like nick you're out again green light i'm like nick get to the
fucking side bro you are out i'm like i swear to get to the fucking side, bro. You are out. I'm like, I swear to God, people have like television. They don't hear anything.
There was somebody named, I think it's like Okos. O-O-K-O.
In the very, very back because my shift button is making me look like I'm running like I'm an old fat lady or something, right? It's so slow.
making me look like I'm running like I'm an old fat lady or something, right?
And that guy, he got kicked because he was moving.
So then what does this dumbass do?
He comes around behind me and starts running again.
And he just kept running.
And I'm just like thinking, why?
Hi, guys. Lisa, Lisa. just like thinking why come on hi guys lisa lisa what's up i have a question for you what's up so i love the color purple i love a lot of nfts in purple so i was wondering if you could give
out alpha like say maybe in the next 20 minutes there's a purple coming up or something like that
there's a purple on the floor you should grab right now is what I'm telling
I'm not going to say the price cause somebody's going to find it,
I've already seen it and I almost bought it.
It's basically the mint price a little bit higher.
my computer's like super slow today.
My computer's going so slow.
As far as what's up in the minute, I don't know.
To answer your question on the other side of this, I have no clue.
Do you get what I'm saying?
It is, and it's badass with the beer.
You'll never, I'll be very honest, you'll probably never find that one in that kind of
just like that i got it okay perfect thank you congratulations yeah i'm glad i asked it's dope
right all purple it's really dope i like it a lot yeah i like the eth eyes i got too that's one's
really nice yeah yeah i mean everybody has their their their love for the traits um so what's really cool is um back in
22 when we minted on our first collection we actually i remember back in the day everybody
was like trait grouping stuff and forming groups based off traits we actually ended up i don't
know if you heard the origin story we ended up creating factions so we had five factions back
in 2022 and i'll tell you right now those factions got really really heated just like no
difference in aqua versus orange it was that heated so we had people like literally forming
separate no no joke separate spaces because that's how big it was back then i remember yeah we we had
people having spaces for grunge gang we had people having spaces for jocks um whenever i made any stupid comments about
different factions they would get on my ass because i'm a normie so so we had five factions
and we still have five action we actually created one-on-one faction leaders um which unfortunately
today i'll be honest like three of those faction leaders are no longer in web3 or part of the
project but we designated those those three those those five faction leads to people in our community
that really vibed and took took the lead of those those groups right but um to kind of go back to
what i was saying is that beyond the factions we had specific traits like we have like traits where
we actually gave us stuff so we did it where anybody had a laser eye um with the full laser
they actually got into into a raffle for an oculus so stuff like that we
actually used our traits right um which was really cool but one of the other things that i mentioned
which i love innovating like i said i'm not a normal person when it comes to stuff inside the
box so one of the things we did and we're going to restart that game for bgg we may do something
with robots i don't know yet i haven't thought that far ahead in terms of like, um, in game mechanics with the PFPs. But what we did with BGG was we ended up doing a randomized hundred tokens where we did what's called an overlay. So if you know what your PFP, right, is just your PFP. We ended up getting the PFPs overlaid with this kind of like glitch and it said missing. And reason for that is part of the lore is 100 kids go missing in the forest
on their way to the factory and those 100 people with those missing was a trait we added it to the
discord and made a game around it called the 100 games and basically over 30 days we made 100 tokens
compete against each other to be top prize so that's what i mean by taking that's what i meant
like taking the simple concept of taking
the pfp and gamifying just the pfp alone is really really interesting to me not just taking a trait
off a pfp and going all right guys anybody with a purple trait you're part of a game like no i want
to intentionally make it within the actual nft itself by building behind it so i know a lot of
guys here toggle like i know dens have toggle, and I know
the fiends have toggle, and I think
Clutch probably is going to have a toggle with their pixels,
right? But what we did instead
was, we ended up, instead of making a
secondary PFP as our toggle,
we ended up putting a locker
to gamify it. So anytime we added
Sorry, one sec. I don't know if I'm on speaker. Anytime... To gamify it so anytime we added an item
Sorry, one sec, I don't know if I'm on speaker um
My Bluetooth just died anytime we added anytime we added an item to the locker and everybody got the same item
No different, but every time we added an item there was four cubby holes and everyone was empty and every time we added the first item
What would happen is it's a progression in our story. So it's part of the lore. So the first time, for example,
was a flashlight. So how it works basically is all these kids go through a forest and it's really
dark getting the way, making their way to the factory. So we represented this flashlight as
their way to guide themselves. So when we did that, we put a flashlight in their locker. We
changed everybody's background to be the same, to be the forest.
And then what we did is we gamified it by saying, okay, guys,
the flashlight has been dropped into your locker.
We're now doing this word search, right?
Because the kids are searching their way through the forest.
So we did a word search using all different words from our first collection.
And the first person to guess all the words right won a prize.
So we used it to gamify just the nft and so on and so forth so we did that with that's so cool yeah i mean i wanted to keep it fun and the main reason why and just like i explained earlier with
you know with sidekicks coming in orbs and creating this gamified experience was i want
to keep you guys having fun and engaged while i'm building because at the end of day there's
always so much you can do with having spaces and being in Discord.
And no offense, Pamela, playing poker and bingo,
there's only so much of that people can do.
Versus me saying, let me gamify the experience.
And you guys just go off on your own and actually explore that gamified experience.
Like nobody's holding your guys' hands when you're minting these balls and spinning them.
It's pretty much they just put it out there and you guys have fun while they're building
spotlight season three. Right. Right. So that's my goal is to, to give you guys the opportunity.
If this is what you like is to give you guys that experience while I'm building the real
utility that we need to build for the brand while it's still keeping you guys interested
and keeping the value of the product high.
then we also had the bad bots.
So another thing we did was really cool in the first collection is we
our first real world asset around the PFP again.
So what we did is for Halloween of 23,
we basically took all of our nft tokens we randomly selected like i think 300 or 400 of the tokens with this so we did a trick-or-treat
background and so it was behind the lockers but what it basically was was when you toggle you can
toggle through your pfp to the locker to this ha Halloween image. And in the Halloween image, randomly, some got trick and some got treat.
And the ones that got treat, they were able to go to our website
because you had that trait in your PFP.
You were able to connect your wallet and by doing that,
you were able to spin a wheel.
And when you spun the wheel, you either got an NFT,
you got a whitelist, or you got a physical ghost pin.
So we were able to literally give you a gift of a pin, which represented this little ghost as a physical item for spinning the wheel.
So we gamified the NFT experience, then we took it to our website and did the spin, and then we basically gave you a pin if you won the pin.
And you got a lanyard also to put that pin on.
So you get what I'm saying?
Let's take these examples.
Yeah, that's really awesome.
because maybe some people don't want to play this game,
or maybe someone doesn't want to do this,
but there is something for everyone in there.
I'm not a fan of Discord either,
so I like the other stuff.
I'm always back and forth with Discord.
I like it because I can construct stuff and keep it there
You know, for me, like, my longer-term goal
is to just have everything centralized on a website
because I feel like that's where you can get the best information
and the most accurate information
like I shut down the discord yesterday,
like from non holders and I did that during our first main.
And I did that during any type of major event to make sure we don't have
very tight on my discord.
very picky on my discord.
So luckily knock on wood,
we've never had a situation where we've been compromised.
That being said, those, you never know. But like but like i i take everything with care and i always want to
make sure the best interest of the community right so but yeah for me discord is one of those things
that for now we centralize a lot of the information there are people that do like discord
um there's things we gamify through discord so it is what it is um but yeah long term like our
website we're rebuilding right now it's gonna have touch
points that are interactive we're gonna have obviously a section that has the marketplace
we're gonna have a section that allows you to do what i just talked about earlier by charging your
bots or re-energizing it so you just go to the site uh we'll eventually have products on there
that are real life products and then of course we're gonna have links to the to the different
metaverses we're a part of, whether it's other side,
whether it's Nifty Island or income,
it's all going to be centralized there.
we'll have major updates on there,
like through a blog that I'm going to write about in terms of like
updates to the community.
But I also will have a holders only area that you guys have exclusive
So I want to centralize everything.
You know, longer term vision.
And I talked to Jerbell about this.
I'd love to be like a dashboard, right?
you can go in and do poses with
The GLB files and the different file
types, right. And be able to use those and apply those to different things because we should be
able to have those files long-term for things like other side and for, for nifty. Right. So
that's a long-term goal. Will we have that at the start to have every asset be
created into 3d? No, it's not realistic, not only financially, but just time-wise,
but longer term, is that a goal
yeah 100 if we can make those things happen we'll make those things happen you know of course lycos
my partner has a team that can do that but they have so many other things they're working on for
projects right now with with the gaming industry that to pull away their time is is is not viable
right now financially or by time so you, we may lean on somebody like a,
like a, again, maybe like a Rita
to help us out in the future,
but it's one step at a time for us.
Like we just don't want to go cart before horse.
I think the main thing right now
is to get this thing minted out,
move forward with you guys,
understanding the mechanics of the brand,
move forward with obviously the next phase,
which is to get you guys integrated
a little bit more further
into what the value is in the brand. and then we'll just start putting on all
the all the products and ship those products to you guys in the next month or two like we we want
to obviously be very smart i don't want to i like to say this all the time i like to ram things down
your guys throats pause but i don't want to ram it down your guys throats so much that it just
becomes so overburdened that you guys just don't understand what the fuck's going on.
And I do kind of sort of remember the bubble game because you were on ETH to begin with, right?
You moved it over in May.
Yes, I got to check them out.
But I kind of remember, you, you, you came
out a long time ago, right? 2022 November. We minted November 4th. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. I think
I was involved heavily in other projects at the time, but I kind of remember a lot of people
going over to that one. Um, yeah, very cool. Yeah. I mean, the last project I was a part of
as a community was, um, Nutty Squty squirrels which was by maloman who's
part of the doogies and who's also helping out sidwin now with 3d printing um as part of the
platform uh prior to that I was part of um uh what's that project called um the one where
everybody howls I can't remember the name right now. Um, but anyways, they were wolves. I can't remember the name, but anyways,
yeah, I was, I was part of a few projects as a, as a community for sure. Um,
your voice sounds familiar and I don't know if you ever did anything with,
what was it like the, the Scooby gang or something?
Yeah. They, they, they invited me to some of their spaces.
Yeah. And we did, I did karaoke with them.
Yeah. I still have those. The ones that look like yeah yeah yeah yeah i remember that because i actually got
introduced and you were in were you in the space last night yeah yeah so freckles actually introduced
me because uh ox uh ox social club which was a side facing ape she was a part of and she introduced
me to those guys yeah they were they were really
cool guys yeah i never know what happened to them but anyways i i still have like 30 or 40 of their
nfts me too yeah yeah because i was like your voice sounds familiar but like you know jogging
your memory it was a while ago and then i was like i remember you guys came out around the time that
i was involved with them as well so then it was just, I was so involved in so many projects at one time.
It was so hard to keep up.
And ETH was, the gas was so expensive then.
My voice was way sexier back then when I had a voice.
Before I started doing like spaces like every day and losing my voice.
But no, I remember it was, it was good times.
But, and, and you probably again
you can probably speak to this i mean i think apete still has those vibes the only difference
is now that everybody builds together and actually people are building real products not just
just vibing you know what i mean like yes i said the same thing i said i feel those vibes again
from that era of like with the communities getting together staying in space for like longer than a
Some people are starting to build traits again,
like the trait wars and everything.
But I think back then the hardest thing was the gas.
So it was so hard for us to mint like 10 from each project
because gas got so expensive.
Do you remember those times where it's like,
I'm going to give you an NFT for being in the space
and you have to wait like six weeks because the gas was so yeah i have to wait until like the
middle of the night to send it so the gas is cheaper yeah yeah it sucked yeah so from the
first collection as i was mentioning to people the other day we we ended up doing like a a give
back so i ended up having to do a thousand thousand airdrops on christmas day
and it cost me five thousand dollars to do it wow wow i remember that oh it's it sucked every
10 transactions like every 10 i airdrop cost me like i think like 30 or 40 bucks it was crazy
so it came to just under five thousand dollars to to airdrop a thousand NFTs that were free.
And then the other side meant, oh my goodness, the gas went up to like, what, $1,000?
Like I said, I love those times.
Unfortunately, like 90% of those projects are gone.
Which kind of sucks because, I mean, I'm sure a lot of us invested in two.
Yeah. I know we've been to a lot of different projects to get back as bounties and a lot of that went to nothing which
kind of sucks um so i'm very careful now with like anything we pick up for the community but
i feel like on ape chain there's there's a lot more value here because we can always pick out
who's actually building but also the the fees and the prices of those NFTs are a lot lower. So it's not like a huge burden in terms of financial
cost, but it's still kind of like one of those things where I like, I'll be very frank with
everybody in this room. I am not building a treasury of NFTs. I may pick some up just because
using it for drip, but I'm not going to be, and no disrespect, I'm not going to build a war chest
of NFTs because I feel like that's not the end value for you guys from what we're trying to build.
I think the bigger value will come longer term with what we're trying to build.
If people want to get some NFTs from us through that, they definitely can through Drip, but
it's not going to be one of those things where I have 600 NFTs from different projects into
Because it fluctuates way too much.
No offense. No, it does. Because one day something that you're holding for six months,
it could be worth a hundred dollars. The next day it's down to three.
Yeah. Yeah. So I rather people take the money they make from us and go buy it themselves if
they want it. Right. That's cool. Or you buy a $250 NFT and the gas is 525.
So we won't be definitely doing any of that.
We will have a small treasury of stuff, but I rather leave the funds in the treasury and use the funds towards you
guys in terms of community activity.
Like I rather give back money through competitions and activities versus
giving you guys NFTs that may hold value today,
or it may not be something you want.
And honestly, this also goes to...
And again, it's not about disrespecting projects
and people that get an NFT from us for a project.
I just don't want those projects
to have their NFTs waived.
I mean, we see this through Spotlight all the time.
NFTs get waived after a large sweep or after somebody gets gifted an NFT,
And I'm being very Frank and anybody can call me on this,
but I bet your ass that people are going to take those NFTs.
They went through the multi balls and wait them.
it's just naturally part of the game.
I don't even know what a ghost machine is.
But I know there were a lot of them.
And I'd probably keep it in my wallet because I'm dumb like that.
No, I mean, things that are three ape, yes.
I mean, what's the point, right?
And yes, you guys, I will never call or shame sell anybody.
But if you're fucking selling our shit for a two ape and you buy for 18,
I'll take the money off your hands.
You think that was a mistake or they did it on purpose?
Like I'm just saying, I want people, if they're going to,
if they're going to wape it at two ape, just let me,
let me give it to you for free.
I'd rather just hear it here.
I'll give you, I'll give going to wape it at 2Ape, just let me give it to you for free. I'd rather just, here, I'll gift you two.
Well, I do know there are people that I've met that are like first-time Ape goers.
And like someone will put .02 thinking, and I'm thinking, no, it's not ETH.
And what you've done is put it like for a penny as opposed to, you know, 0.02 what Ethereum would be valued at.
I mean, not quite that dumb, but I'm just saying.
Way more people that are just getting rid of it.
And there's also people like in other countries that three-way for them may be, you know, worth $30 or whatever.
that three weight for them may be, you know, worth $30 or whatever.
But for a majority, it's people that get it for free,
and then they're just getting the $2 for it or whatever.
Yeah, I, yeah, that's so hard, but I get it.
Sometimes people need a couple dollars to get something else.
I've got a lot of rugged art in my multiple many, many,
many wallets. And some of it I can envision using one day as IP because those people are no longer
around. So I own it. And so like there's this one, it's almost like a Looney Tunes, but I can't
remember the name of the project it was a long it
was two years ago and their art was dope it was almost like this 50s 60s kind of art and i got
this some of it's black and white however there's bits of color and there was this girl and she was
a boxer and her gloves were red and i snagged that one. And I was like, I can see this being on a hoodie, you know, walking around, just kind of chilling with it.
Yo, Tusk, I just added you to the chat.
And I didn't know you were in there or not.
So I just wanted to add you in there just to show you the 3D I did of your bot just so you know.
Damn, I'm seeing i knew you were doing something so that's what i was talking lisa doesn't that purple look so good i love it i really really love it purple's my thing i have like so many
purple entities love it i love purple too green is color, but if I had to go second color, it would be purple.
Yeah. Green is money. We all love green.
I like the lime, kind of like the lime green on some of these and the brighter green. There's just,
there are some greens that are like, oh no, But it's just kind of the way it is.
purple is a great color. Let me make a
3D version for you real quick.
I think this one's going to turn off fire.
With the purple. Put grapes in it.
I was so upset that my sideboard
couldn't be pink when I was playing the games.
Like, at least couldn't I have the pink lighted up colors instead of the blue?
But how's it going to distinguish that you're girl versus boy?
Actually, I guess you can select tall, right?
Girl versus boy, I guess.
I mean, Lisa should just be a girl's name, but I do get called king and bro every day.
So, I don't know. I mean, Lisa should just be a girl's name, but I do get called King and bro every day.
So I don't know. That's funny. I mean, like whole history of girls names.
There's some, you know, Jamie, that could be a boy or girl, even Jody. But Lisa, never.
True. I mean, there might be some boy Lisas out there. I mean, you never know.
I don't think so. I'm just I'm'm just, I'm pulling at strings right now. Just, just grasp. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So every time I get those, I put like a big gift up that says I'm a girl. Nice. Nice. I know people will always say, they'll look at my
name and they'll go bro. And I'm like, bro, who are you calling a bro? And they're like, oh,
I'm sorry. And I said, I'm just giving you a hard time.
Because Pamela or Pamela, however you want to pronounce it,
clearly is a girl's name.
Yeah, that's another one that in the history of names,
I don't think I've ever heard of her name.
Like if my name was Pat, or you could say Patricia or Patrick,
you know, you don't know.
And even hype, there could be a girl that's hype yeah for sure well
when when Rita calls me hypey yeah you probably think I'm a girl
what is wrong with you but you know sometimes people will call me Pam and there it got really
annoying a couple years ago and I there was this guy from the UK and finally I yelled at him and I said, it's Pamela, not Pam.
And then somebody goes, you need to put a dot eth on that.
And so, you know, when people go Pam, Pam, Pam, Pam, and I'm like, whatever.
It doesn't bother me as much now, but you know, it's.
Yeah. Pam and I'm like whatever it doesn't bother me as much now but you know it's yeah but you know we're I guess it could be worse you could be rocking a name that doesn't that you made up
yourself right oh this looks so good uh-oh I can't wait hurry hype wow hype. Wow. We want to see the purple.
For those of you that don't know, it's somebody trying to trick
and I was going to click on it. Here we go.
Oh my God. I want to orb hype.
You'll get an orb eventually. Don't worry. You got to power up and use that orb. Oh, my God. I want to orb hype. You'll get an orb eventually.
You got to power up and use that energy.
Oh, you know, how can I not with the amount of robots that I have?
The purple looks so good.
Yeah, make sure you make a picture of that.
I'm going to push all this on Rita and be like, bro, you got to make these into 3D assets.
Like, how cool would these be, honestly, running around versus those, what are the fuck they're called?
That's just too damn crazy.
welcome everybody else that come,
I'm going to bring them up.
I see like this is in the room.
I just saw you drop in a few minutes ago.
What's good. Master lotion. I see as ago. E-Money, what's good? Villegas. Villegas, what's up? What's good?
We got Lycos in the room.
Let me check where we're at the Mint.
As I said earlier, somebody hit that first legendary.
The legendary was hit at.
Someone just minted three.
There you go. that was cool it said 64 and then it turned into 67 i like that yeah and i mean like i said you know for you guys
that just guys and girls that just joined the room um you know you're starting to see probably
some of these little teasers with these little orbs the orbs won't be exactly like that but
was saying before is that kind of our longer term plan is to create a value proposition for ape chain
which is to create transactions on chain number one where you have to mint uh 10 000 balls a day
uh and then um i'm just playing um no but in all seriousness um in our first collection if you have
a bgg the plan is that we're going to be launching Sidekicks, which is a free mint, which is a pet.
It's a pet companion to the BGG.
And for you guys, you'll be able to get that free.
And the plan for that is that on a daily basis, you're going to have to earn a lemonade token.
It's not an actual token.
It's just basically like kids, you know, having a lemonade stand and earning some change for just basically being there and selling
lemonade to people and customers walking by. So we're going to do something with that. And then
with the robots, you're going to have the ability to earn what's called orbs by basically every day
going and hitting a button and re-energizing that bot. And so the plan is when you re-energize the
bot, you'll be able to have access to minting the orb for free. If you basically have your kid
basically sell lemonade every day, you're going to be able to get the sidekick. And with the sidekick,
the BGG, the robot, and the orb, you're going to be able to stake all those together,
which will create multipliers.
And with the multipliers,
you're going to be able to get some of our rewards
in-house, in our ecosystem,
whether it's some rev share we're creating.
By that time, we'll probably have some better understanding
what we're doing with things like Other Side,
So I can really start building shit.
we're going to have things where you're going to have your own emotes,
there'll be some unlockable land areas that you guys will have access to
versus anybody else that goes onto our
And so I think it's going to be really cool as an in-game economy and experience.
And that's just, again, that's just in-game within our eco, just within our NFT projects
has nothing to do with anything else I talked about yesterday with what we're building.
There's a lot more stuff we're building outside of just holding these nfts that you guys will have
access to this is just more metaverse centric and more experience centric so i'm looking forward to
building these things out for you guys this is something we're going to run way over the next
three to four months um nothing happening tomorrow once we met out we're going to let it breathe for
a couple weeks while we're going to build out the mechanics for for the orbs and the out, we're going to let it breathe for a couple of weeks. Well, we're going to build out the mechanics for, for the orbs and the pets.
Uh, we're going to give our artists like Jabal time to actually cook and build out the product
And then we're going to get devs involved to help us.
I actually have a call to more with simple farmer.
So I'm going to run by him some ideas around this to, to see if I can pick his brain on
some of the gamified opportunities to, to bring some transactions on chain with ape.
But, uh, I look forward to cooking this stuff for you over the next couple of months and
really see some value add to you guys, uh, longer term over the next three to four months
after that and just keep building.
So there's a lot more stuff coming with, like I said, Income Island with Stardogs, uh,
So we're going to be building stuff for Income Island.
You guys are going to have access to as being holders.
We're still going to have bingo and poker for you guys.
If you guys want to do stuff with the community on a, on a weekly basis.
And of course we're going to be building some other, other products,
IRL that you guys can benefit from for yourselves or earn some,
some, some type of passive or revenue income from,
from some of the products we build out. So yeah, I'm excited, Pamela.
I'm excited too. I mean, it's, it's fun and I can't wait to start up bingo again and roll those balls, but I'll be rolling the balls.
You don't have to roll the balls like we did with that. I still have 150 of those white balls,
150 of those white balls, those multi balls.
So I have until the 31st to spin those, right?
I like that little orb a lot.
I'm picking, I have to pick out a special robot
because I want you to do,
I want you to gamify one of my robots.
When? A while ago, your your spikes when did you do that i don't think i see it in my folder uh let me give me a sec here
i'll i'll put it in the chat and anybody else in the community that's not part of the chat wants to
be i like i said i i brought everybody into the chat that got the badge just so you guys can keep up to date on the mint um but i didn't
want to just bring everybody in there because i know like i said like a lot of people have a lot
of dm chat groups and the last thing i want to do is add another one to you guys that doesn't add
any value wait a minute let me say that right that adds value but maybe you don't want to be a part of
so if you guys want to be a part of it you can like i said you know if you see me spam it it's mostly because i'm going to put some ideas in
there and some obviously spaces that i'm i'm going to be running that is probably more hyper focused
on on what i'm building or maybe something i'm running for ape chain because you guys knew
know i run ape chain spaces as well from time to time but again you'll get that stuff on the
timeline you get in the discord but if you want to be a part of it,
some people don't want to be,
I was looking for the badge today.
I haven't done a badge yet.
I was going to do the badge for last night, but I'm going to do it, um, in a Okay. No, no, no badge yet. It's coming though. You were going to do it. You're going to do it. I was going to do the badge for last night,
but I'm going to do it in a couple of days right now.
I'm going to be doing a badge.
Jabril is going to be working on a badge for us.
I'm going to do a badge for BGG and robots first.
Cause I like to go in order.
I want a badge for BGG holders.
I want a badge for robot holders who initially minted with us.
And then I'm going to create the,
I'm actually going to look at those bubble gum guys now okay so before you look there's there's two collections lisa just so you know okay there is and i'll tell you the origin story around this
so there's bgg ogs and there's bgg classics so what ended up happening when we first minted
our dev at the time locked the contract.
And he must have mistakenly thought I didn't want anything changed,
meaning like changing prices and whatnot.
So originally our first collection was 7,500 like robots.
But what ended up happening is about 800 mints in,
we decided we wanted to do some type of marketing,
but he couldn't unlock it.
So we decided to cap it at 950.
And people that spent 0-1, we wanted to give them something of value because they spent zero one. Cause
the remaining 6550, we made it 008 on ETH. So what ended up happening is those that had 950,
we said to them, we offered them, if you get an OG, you're guaranteed a free mint through all
of our collections. So it's, it's basically giving you a free pass all the way through all of our
That's why it's more expensive as,
as far as the floor is right now,
they don't get the free mint.
They still get all the perks.
They still become a part of the community,
All the benefits are the same.
The biggest thing is you're keeping,
you're going to be able to,
every mint or every collection we do in the future, which I think is more value.
But again, not everybody wants to go that route.
So, um, so that's the major difference between the two.
The only other major difference is if you have an OG, every, every collection we drop,
um, whether you're holding one, 10, 25, 50, or a hundred, there's different levels. You'll be able to claim a free merch depending on the level you're holding one 10, 25, 50 or 100 there's different levels
you'll be able to claim a free merch depending on the level you're at
so we have some that are actually at 100 OGs
basically a shirt, a hoodie, a hat
right, so if you have one
you'll get a shirt from us, if you have
I think 10 you get a shirt and a hat, If you get 25, you get a hoodie and a hat. So that's,
so that's just in the first collection in robots. There'll be different things we offer as well,
as far as physical products. If you own an OG. Okay. So just to be clear on the two collections,
it's called BG classic and there's BG OG.
Yeah, I have to restart the computer so I didn't get to chance yet because I couldn't get to either website.
So I'm thinking it has something to do with my computer.
Yeah, but I just wanted to be clear on the two just because you're looking it up.
You're like, what's the difference, Hype?
And the OGs are a little bit more expensive, obviously.
But the OG will get you into our last Thursday of the month.
This Thursday night, we have our OG poker game.
And the winner will take home 1,000 drip points.
And you're going to need that to get an MVP pass.
You know, I kind of feel like ice cream right now.
You know, you ever get that craving for something?
Yeah, I crave a lot of things right now.
I keep seeing this stupid commercial.
And sometimes I'll have some in my freezer, but there are certain brands that are just no bueno.
And now this, and I don't eat Pizza Hut pizza pizza but they have this new little artesian pizza bread
and it looks really good and I know it's gonna happen because it's close to my house I'm gonna
buy one I'm gonna take it home I'm gonna eat it and I'm not gonna like it very much
so there's that that happens often they make it look so good on TV.
They make it look better and it never tastes better.
And then you eat it and it's like, what the hell just happened?
You know where I think it is?
No, I know where it is, but I'm looking for a version of a hero so I can just throw it up.
Yeah, I think it's in the World of Tings chat.
You know, things like that.
Did you send something to our group?
Oh, but it doesn't have legs, bro.
Because he's been fighting.
I was laughing at it. There are only four rainbow spiked robots in the collection.
And two are in the hands of people.
And then I think there's another one that's kind of floating around out there.
And then one has not been minted.
And, you know, I was looking at the, i know we haven't minted out yet it's
very close but the rarity that they have is kind of weird you know because like you'll have more
of a simplistic kind of plane and then it'll be ranked yeah i i just i don't get the metrics
behind rarities to be honest and
not in this collection no and and for those in the room i'll be honest most people that have
been part of our community they don't even care about rarity except for pamela um they just grab
what they just grab what they want to be very honest it's true pamela in most projects i do
love rarity and if i can get something for a good price and it's, you know, under $100 or $50 or whatever,
more than nine times out of ten, I'm probably going to buy it.
However, I've been in with the Rogue Bots for a very long time.
And I know, like, there are some traits that you know should have higher ratings.
So I'm not really sure how they did that
but magic eden's kind of weird anyway because like let's say you have something similar to
somebody else and they list it for 58 well then you go to look at their rarity and you'll see that
58 next to the one you have that you haven't listed
so i don't quite get that but it's okay right hype yep i do like i do enjoy the glitch backgrounds
on things um it's one of my favorite traits i like the the factory uh backgrounds and then we just have the
plain backgrounds and so i mean backgrounds are are for real for people like if you could have a
purple you have the purple robot you just got with the purple background come on right lisa lisa
purple background come on right lisa lisa looks so dope i love it yeah i like i like the clean
bots like my favorite bots are the um the really matching ones like there's there's there's a few
that i really like the all white bots with the gold on the on the face guard and they're actually
face cards guys it's actually on the screen it's actually not behind the screen and so um
actually not behind the screen and so um yeah the face cards are really really cool um because
they're glitched and and if you look into the actual images a bit you can see that but um i
love i love the all whites with the gold because there's a there's a few of them in the collection
there's actually enough you can form a team which is kind of cool and another thing like i'm and i'm
thinking way outside the box here this is nothing we're planning at this point.
But it would be cool to have where, and you guys know I love playing the other games and doing this stuff with the boys. But, I mean, having these robots basically have team-ups and compete on Adid would be really, really cool.
There's so many opportunities.
That's the thing, like, I wanted to do 3d for you guys to
really see what this potential could be instead of just the 2d artwork on the robots because
sometimes it's really hard to kind of see like what the vision could be on what these could
look like if they're 3d and i just wanted to put it out there the other thing that's really cool
is if you see the collection so these ones here they're facing uh i guess right i guess i think
they're right they're facing right if you look at our first collection they're facing, I guess, right. I guess they're facing right.
If you look at our first collection, they're actually facing left.
And that was intentional.
So very, very methodical.
And just as a hint, in our first collection, Jules, our main character, she wears an eye
And underneath that eye patch, and I've said it,
so I'm not worried about saying it now,
under that eye patch is actually,
eye patch is actually a cyborg eye.
why do you have an eye patch on this girl hype?
or under the patch is a robot eye.
Even if you look at, for example,
I think she's the only one in the room rocking it.
So if you see G, she's wearing a scouter on the robot
with a little red scouter.
If you look at our first collection,
the kids, there's some that actually have the scouter as well.
Look at Lycos, his picture
He has a bad bot killing a good bot
With a purple background, by the way
The white robot is really dope. Yeah, that's that's the good bar we have
We have the G bot and the B bot so the B bots the bad body boss the good bot
And then we have Ren in the middle which is the one I'm rocking and he's like the main character
But basically it's good versus evil right which are you gonna take and so right if you And so if you look at the B-Bot, which is the red bot,
if you look at his eyes, they're red.
So anybody that's in the collection that has a red-eyed bot,
it's actually an evil bot.
And the red eyes are rare in comparison to the rest.
I'm going to see if I have any red.
If I can ever get back on.
Yeah, I have quite a few.
When I first signed up, I think I was a good bot,
and then I switched over to a bad bot.
Because you could click a little button in the Discord and get the roll.
Let me see if I can find...
Let me see if I can find that number
that became before and I'm assuming it's all one discord yeah yeah it's all it's
all one blended discord hundred percent
let's see here let me go to the sorry i want to look up uh 2964
2964 i'm glad magic even came in last night and was able to correct all this stuff
well that was i said them to come into the space yeah i've never known them to do that before.
Well, it's because of you guys.
Because you guys put pressure on them.
They're literally looping
Oh, I like the skeleton face.
Yeah. So there's the skeleton.
Again, we really wanted to play on some things from the first collection. The skeleton's actually
the logo from Grunge Gang, which is one of the
from the first collection.
Yeah, we tried to incorporate it as much as we could from the first collection
to the second that kind of was in unison and made sense.
I'm going to do this for BK because he wants it.
Do you know on an iPhone, if you type pew pew to somebody, it'll shoot out lasers?
But that's the only thing you can type.
Like you can't send a message with it.
Well, like during, you know, like a celebration thing or happy birthday, you can.
Well, I mean, thinking of that
Anybody want to play a game?
I saw the pew, that's what made me think of it
There was actually a command in the discord if you actually go
exclamation mark pew pew, it actually shoots
It has a gif that comes out with a cat shooting like lasers
I was thinking if anybody wants to play a game that's in the room
Lisa, I'm telling you right now.
Nothing's easy with hype.
I'll let somebody win that doesn't have one.
You probably will not win this either
Game on are you sure you want to play?
Sure, why not? I probably won't win, but it's okay. I need at least another one or two more people to play this game
Frank before I can do it. I
Know Brooklyn wants to play good luck to all you guys
I know Brooklyn wants to play.
Good luck to all you guys.
So, anybody who wants to come on stage,
I'll give you a chance to win a BGG Classic.
I need at least one other player, though.
You don't even know what the game is, Lisa.
You might be like, oh, man.
Truth or dare, oh, man. Truth or dare.
As long as I don't have to get on the floor and do push-ups, I'm good.
It's a lot harder than truth or dare.
I knew Master Losher would come up.
Oh, now we got people coming.
Let's wait until G connects first.
Yo, what up, Master Lotion?
You know, it's another day, bro.
Love what I'm hearing in this space.
Oh, look at all you guys come up now.
Look at all you guys. You don't even know what the game is. Jeez
Hey, didn't you didn't read my DM? I have not read your did you send me a DM?
No, I sent agent at the end. Oh agent
Yeah, is he in the room? I don't know. I'm thinking.
Why are you calling him out in this room that he was not here?
Okay, well, give me a sec.
I'm going to put one more picture in the Discord.
Oh, you haven't said yet.
Yeah, I'm going to put this for BK.
He wanted to see his bot.
This is the ones you were talking
I'm going to have to pour a shot for this one.
No, no, you probably don't.
Alright, well, it's a time game
and you can't make mistakes and the first person to do
No, I know what this is already.
So we have, do we have anybody else that wants to play?
I'll give you like 30 seconds to get up here, but I'll explain the game.
So back in the day, we used to play this game.
And the collection we have is called Bubble Gun Gang.
Let me get Grizz up first.
So, I'm going to give you guys all an opportunity to say Bubble Gun Gang.
You have 30 seconds and whoever can say the most
in 30 seconds without fucking up will win so it goes like this bubble gun gang bubble gun gang
bubble gun gang bubble gun gang bubble gun gang bubble gun gang bubble gun gang bubble gun gang
it's not it's not what who was one person did this they were like gun gang bubble gun gang
bubble it's a bubble gun gang so no cheating on the cadence but whoever can say it without
fucking up you can't be like bubble gun gang bubble gun gang oh shit i screwed up like you're
over you're done you're out bubble gun gang bubble gun gang bubble gun gang and you can't be like
bubble gun gang well you can't go, but you're just going to lose.
So everybody will have a chance.
No, because at least you can make it to the end.
Because I did kind of a ready.
So whoever can say bubble gun gang the most in 30 seconds will win the bubble gun gang.
So it's bubble gun, G-U-N.
You want to say it like two or three times just to practice?
Bubble gun gang, bubble gun gang.
We had a community member named Element who did it in 30 seconds.
Damn. I think he holds the record. He did it like 48 times. Damn.
I think he holds the record.
He practiced Sally at the seashell.
So yeah. Who wants to go?
Does everybody on stage understand the rules?
Who would like to go first?
Give everybody, when they come up,
let them do it just two or three times.
Yeah, we'll let them do it.
They're probably practicing at home right now.
I almost fell out of my chair when I did that.
So Pamela, I need you to do me a favor.
I'm going to count the cadence, but I need you to time it.
I love that this is recorded too.
I can clip this and make it funny.
Anybody else want to practice?
I mean, the pressure is going to be on the person that goes last, to be honest.
you might fuck up, so, I mean...
Okay, let's do it. I might fuck up. I've been just drinking and smoking a little. I'm cooking right now, so
Do you want to practice and say it a couple times?
I was getting right into it
off the mic, so I think I'm ready to just
get started, bro. Give me the countdown.
Well, Pamela, you say three, two, one, and then I'll start counting his cadence.
Bubble gun gang, bubble gun gang, bubble gun gang, bubble gun gang, bubble gun gang, bubble gun gang, bubble gun gang, bubble gun gang, bubble gun gang, bubble gun gang, bubble gun gang, bubble gun gang, bubble gun gang, bubble gun gang, bubble gun gang, bubble gun gang, bubble gun gang, bubble gun gang, bubble gun gang, bubble gun gang, bubble gun gang, bubble gun gang, bubble gun gang, bubble gun gang, bubble gun gang, bubble gun gang, bubble gun gang, bubble gun gang, bubble gun gang, bubble gun gang, bubble gun gang, bubble gun gang, bubble gun gang, bubble gun gang, bubble gun gang, bubble gun gang, bubble gun gang, bubble gun gang, bubble gun gang, bubble gun gang, bubble gun gang, bubble gun gang, bubble gun gang, bubble gun gang, bubble gun gang, bubble gun gang, bubble gun gang, bubble gun gang, bubble gun gang, bubble gun gang, bubble gun gang, bubble gun gang, bubble gun gang, bubble gun gang, bubble gun gang, bubble gun gang, bubble gun gang, bubble gun gang, bubble gun gang, bubble gun gang, bubble gun gang, bubble gun gang, bubble gun gang, bubble gun gang, bubble gun gang, bubble gun gang, bubble gun gang, bubble gun gang, bubble gun gang, bubble gun gang, bubble gun gang, bubble gun gang, bubble gun gang, bubble gun gang, bubble gun gang, bubble gun gang, bubble gun gun gang, bubble gun gun gang, bubble gun gun gang, bubble gun gun gang, bubble gun gun gang, bubble gun gun gang, bubble gun gun gun, bubble gun gun gun gang, bubble gun gun gun gun, bubble gun gun gun gun gun, bubble gun gun gun gun gun gun gun gun gun gun 7. 6.43 seconds. All right. So the tiebreaker will be the time, but you did 7.
All right, let me put this.
7 times. It started out really strong.
Alright, who wants to go next?
Oh, look at you guys all.
Why not? Nobody else is volunteering,
but I can't do it loudly.
You want to practice a couple just before you go?
Bubble gun gang, bubble gun gang, bubble gun gang, bubble gun gang, bubble gun gang, bubble gun gang, bubble gun gang, bubble gun gang, bubble gun gang, bubble gun gang, bubble gun gang, bubble gun gang, bubble gun gang, bubble gun gang, bubble gun gang, bubble gun gang.
I had to take a breath there.
The key is to hold your breath and just do it.
Well, that's a you problem, unfortunately, not a me problem.
12 seconds. 12.87., though. Come on. How many times? What was the time? 12 seconds.
You're doing one a second.
I'm assuming G's the oldest that's playing right now,
so you guys better step up your game.
Chris. She's older than me
Great, I mean I mean some sriracha noodles right now, so
Hopefully clean the throat, you know, let's do it
Damn bro. You already prepped for this one. All right. Well
You can do it. All right. Wait, wait, wait. Okay. Grizz, let me write this down. Grizz.
I'm going to count you down, bro.
Everybody else mute their mics.
Everybody else mute their mics.
All right. Count them down.
Bubble gun gang, bubble gun gang, bubble gun gang, bubble gun gang, bubble gun gang, one. Oh, 29. Bubble Gang, Bubble Gang, Bubble Gang, Bubble Gang, Bubble Gang, Bubble Gang, Bubble Gang, Bubble Gang, Bubble Gang, Bubble Gang, Bubble Gang, Bubble Gang.
But here's the thing, guys.
You could actually beat them if you just do it slow enough and you can do it in 30 seconds.
How long was his time, Pamela?
I'm eating food, you know. So anybody who beats me kudos you got the advantage so go
but that's the best time how many did he do 29 and 23 and a half well 29 and 23.74 seconds
all right Who's next? Who's next?
I guess I have to go, but I'm not going to...
Everybody mute except for Lisa and Pamela.
Pamela, whenever you're ready.
Bubble gun gang, bubble gun gang, bubble gun gang, bubble gun gang, bubble gun gang, bubble gun gang, bubble gun gang, bubble gun gang, bubble gun gang, bubble gun gang, bubble gun gang, bubble gun gang, bubble gun gang, bubble gun gang, bubble gun gang, bubble gun gang, bubble gun gang, bubble gun gang, bubble gun gang.
No, before that, I heard a
I know, but you did great.
She's not in the lead anyway, so it doesn't really matter.
I did better than the first time.
Amgood, you basically have to beat 29
All right, who's up next?
Okay, I'm counting you down.
She's going to count you down.
She's going to count you down.
I'll go three, two, one, all right?
The games are about to start.
I'm getting ready to start.
Bubblegum gang, bubblegum gang, bubblegum gang, bubblegum gang, bubblegum gang, bubblegum gang, bubblegum gang, bubblegum gang.
Oh, I think you got six, bro.
You got six. All right. Well, bro. That's fine. You got six.
Well, the winner is Grizz.
Congratulations, Grizz, for the win.
You had your food in your mouth, but the rest of you guys that competed, I'll give you another robot.
Hey, much appreciated, bro.
All good. Just you guys send me your walls directly and
What I win, I came in late, what I came in and missed
You won a BGG Classic bro from our first collection
So you got a classic now and you got a robot
And the rest of the people that participate
Who was before the last person, I'm sorry
Don't hold back People just come up eating food Taking care of kids, you know gets an extra robot. Who was before the last person? I'm sorry.
Just come up eating food, taking care of kids.
So, G, everybody that was on stage,
just probably participating,
I'm going to give you guys a robot,
so I'm going to give him a BG Classic.
Yay, Grizz. So send me your wallets,
over that in like two minutes.
Okay, I'll send it anyways.
to get me to buy another one
because I can't have odd numbers.
That's a personal problem. I know I didn't, not a me problem. That's a personal problem.
I know I didn't say it was a you problem.
So this is the kind of stuff
we used to do back in the day, guys,
for you guys to experience some of the fun
we used to do back in 2022.
We had a guy that did a song
and he kept saying, Bubble Gum
I know. I should play that song,
actually. I'm going to go find it right now and play it.
You know what's funny? When you guys hear me play a song,
song starts, I actually hit space bar to pause
at one piece or mute it for like
one second so you don't have to hear him
Whoever slit the sheet was
Let me see if I can find it.
You got me away from my computer bro
This is the kind of stuff I like to do
Is have fun with the community.
I hope you enjoyed it at the end of the day.
this is the days I missed back in the day where people can just come together and
And this is what it's about.
I know expectation hype still cook,
like hype still here, going to have fun with you guys. And this is what it's about, you know? So that's why cook but at the same time like hype still here gonna have
fun with you guys and this is what it's about you know so that's why i love doing the other games
it's fun it's participation it's bringing people together and sometimes you get a participation
trophy nft yeah exactly what upcos? I just want to have fun.
Yo Lycos, what's up? You there?
It's been amazing man. Just been busy.
I know you didn't come up here because I know you've done this before as well.
So I know you didn't come up here because I know you've done this before as well. So I know you didn't come up with your say bubble gun gang.
You know, I, when I first came on,
I had my earbuds on and then I had to take care of my six year old and I was running around at it. I wasn't close to, to my, my phone,
but I heard some of the comments and whatnot. So it was a good time.
It's it's great. I loved, I loved hearing, I think I've,
I think I may have done it twice, but kudos to the winner and even to those that came up because I'm pretty sure you did better than I did the couple times last time.
Do you want to see if I can beat it?
I think you should demonstrate.
I think you did pretty good the last time too.
Well, it's going to be hard because my brain is a little fizzle, but I'll try I don't know if I can beat I don't know if I can beat
Yeah, yeah, Grizz did really really well so I can try we'll see I'm
My voice is kind of raspy right now, but yeah, probably if you want to clock me and we can try it
Let's go you let me know Pamela somebody's after it would help if I was unmuted to clock me and we can try it. Let's go. You let me know, Pamela.
It would help if I was unmuted
Somebody's going to have to do the countdown, though, and count me
I have a question. Yeah, what's up?
Before I forget, because I'll forget.
I have not focused on the ball since I spent my last balls
To be honest like I'm over it. I don't see or hear another ball for for a long time. I'm good
He was spinning 8,000 that's somebody
He didn't win the jeans. All he won was 10 and a 4,000 balls.
I am 4,000 balls. I'm good honestly
I'm good. Honestly, if you guys knew the code that I put out there for the last other games,
I put the word balls on purpose because that's the last time you're going to hear balls out of my mouth for a long time.
I still need the code for hype and seek.
You have to find me on the... You have to go find me, girl.
I found you. You were right next to me.
What are you talking about?
Oh, you gotta... No, no, no. You gotta ask me. No. What are you talking about? You were floating. Oh, you got to ask me.
No, no, no. That don't count.
Orange wasn't the code I asked you.
Okay, I'll find you next to it.
I'll be there later tonight. I'll be there tomorrow.
You can find me on the weekend. I'll be there on Saturday as well.
Yeah, Lycos, can you count
how many times he says it?
Bubblegun gang, bubblegun gang, bubblegun gang, bubblegun gang, bubblegun gang, bubblegun gang, bubble gun gang, bubble gun gang, bubble gun gang, bubble gun gang, bubble
gun gang, bubble gun gang, bubble gun gang, bubble gun gang, bubble gun gang, bubble
It's because you know you start thinking about your cadence and then you screw up.
When you start thinking about the cadence itself like you're doing it right, are you
Why do you have people so fast?
Because I don't know. You almost't you almost okay bubble gun say it slower
no not that slow but do like a reggae beat you know what's funny grizz i was saying earlier
but like it do it like a no but i think i'm think... I'm in a serious dilemma here, man. What's up?
My little, almost one-year-old got into my shit,
and I don't know where the hell the kid put it.
You don't know what a Zen is?
Oh, Zen. Yeah, I know what his in is
Yeah, but I don't know where she put the the puck. I don't know where the puck is. Oh boy, you're gonna
Grizz is about to go off rails. Be careful guys. Yeah
Yeah, yeah his his PIP students are jittering in two seconds
yeah yeah his pfp's gonna start jittering in two seconds what's his impact it's basically i think
if i'm if i'm not mistaken a zimpak is like to replace like a vape if i'm not mistaken or nicotine
i believe if i'm completely wrong bro tell me but i'm pretty sure i'm right so
yeah like nicotine salt in a pouch instead of having like straight tobacco it's just nicotine salt and then just put down your lip like dip
That's it. Instead of being there smoking or whatever else. Yeah. Yeah
It's the better way to get your nicotine so you know, it's been like I don't know two and a half years since I've ate
Seven years since I smoked a cigarette
Yeah, bro. Well put something else on the table that you know, she would probably
We're good you found it. Oh Chris is back. He's bad. We're good. Let's put two to the upper lip six millies
And then he's like, I'm back to this obviously like I'm back to this game
He'll come back when do like 73 bubblegum gangs in like 20 seconds
I'm just I'm just saying bro
All right, let me let me play this song real quick. Yeah, you guys will hear the air. It's not B B B G. It's B G G
Yo, but shout out to the guy back in the day crypto casually some of you guys may have known him back in the day
He comes to the spaces and asked you to basically make a song and pay him on ETH, which we didn't
But we still paid him just because he did it. but anyways, let me play this song real quick It's BBG, it's Bubblegum the gang The horns are to the ground, the halos that we slaying
We look into the sky, just choose a faction, pick the side
Tunnel, vision, laser eyes, ha!
The Nomi bomb's about to fly, just runnin' hikes
Watch the Bubblegum gang, we down to ride, ooh
Watch them out, watch them runnin' out
Look at Super K and Lil J, no mistake, they bout to lead the way
Look at all the jocks down, baby, yeah

You know what I'm playing?
Yo, and now you know that you in trouble.
Boy, it's casually I came in.
I'ma represent the hustle fool.
Might just Harry Potter broomstick, whack-a-muggle.
I might just be on shit that I had to sip

Yeah, if you take a piece, you might just take a little piece of history
I'ma probably put this down as the greatest to ever go down
Bubble gun gang, yeah, we on town
Pew, pew, pew, sha, sha, sha
Yeah, you see me run the block Yeah, the bubble gun gang BGG, we are in town. Pew, pew, pew. Sha, sha, sha. Yeah, you see me run the block.
Yeah, the bubble gun, the gang.
Yeah, we done touched the mic.
We left it high. We burnt the stage.
And then we walk, we walk it out.
So, yeah, what's really cool about that song is that actually the community made it together one night.
So, we were in a space and he came through and we literally put out the lyrics all as a group.
And that's how the song was formed.
So yeah, in there, you know, you'll see Lisa Lisa, the pew pew pew in there as well.
We talk a little bit about the factions and actually talks about those airdrops,
me doing the thousand airdrops on Christmas Day. So yeah, it's pretty
dope. It's a pretty dope song. So a lot of creative artists back in 22 that create a lot
of different beats for us into 23. So I miss those days where people would actually make
songs for projects. And as long as they themed right, it was good.
Yeah, different group of people around now. I haven't seen, there was another guy that we had
that did a song for us. What was his name? Oh, Crazy Kimbalin. Yes. I mean, there's a lot of
talented people out there, for real. I mean, you got artists that draw and create but then you got artists that sing and um rap and everything else and some of them bring their guitar into the discord
or into the you know next space and i'm like who's this guy i mean that actually happened right
so that actually happened. Right. So,
you got a couple minutes to hold down,
you want to talk a little bit about,
for those that weren't here yesterday,
maybe a little bit about you
and if you got a couple seconds
these giveaways to these guys.
but a lot of people don't know you
like we know you, bro. Yeah, you know what I was just it down, but a lot of people don't know you like we know you, bro.
Yeah, you know what I was just going to say?
I was like, real quick, we can talk about hype behind his back.
Obviously, you know what?
I wanted to come in, obviously, while hype has held it down.
And I had a couple of things to say.
First and foremost, thank you to everyone who has been there, participated in this.
I know Hype has thanked you guys and obviously developed those relationships, and you guys have come in full force to support.
So I just wanted to extend my own personal thanks really as Hype's partner in this.
One of the things that I want to say, because I was listening to some of the comments earlier,
and one of the things that I can't help but think, Pamela, is what things were like when we launched BGG in November 2022 in comparison to now, right?
And all the things in between.
There's been ups, there's been
downs. And I think, you know, a time like this, it's, for me, hard not to even reflect on, you
know, the high points, the low points, the mistakes we made, admittedly as founders. But one thing that
we always said is that we weren't going to go away. And we're always going to have a presence,
we're always going to have, you know, be accessible.
And I just want to say, you know, when it comes to hype, like I said, I said it before, I think on a previous space, you know, his unwavering commitment and sort of diligence when it comes to this, you know, he's a real one.
And I know he's developed a lot of new relationships with different people.
Hype and I met, I think, in probably December of 2021.
Somewhere around that time.
Actually, it was probably the summer of 2021.
I mean, number one, I can't be grateful enough.
Pamela, am I still there? Can you hear me? Yes, sir. Okay, perfect. Yeah, I can't be grateful enough just for the support that's ongoing. I know Web3 is an evolving place. I
primarily come from the Web2 environment. Hype is the one that actually introduced me to Web3.
Obviously, at that time, I already had Lyco Studios, Lyco Studios is
we really got started in the gaming industry
partnering with Microsoft, Xbox and
you know, almost 10 years ago
and we started out as a production house
so I have a team of artists
came about and even the Rogue bots uh the artwork for there
um and um yeah we were able to leverage um some good relationships uh specifically in the
entertainment world um starting with the gaming industry but obviously even the gaming industry
uh i know all you guys are aware like you know, you, you, there, there's overlap, you know, because when it
came to specifically the Microsoft Xbox platform and the avatar platform, which is where we really
sort of made our name and developed the relationships is you've got AAA gaming studios
wanting avatars made. You've got motion pictures wanting avatars made. You've got all the different genres also within sort of viewing.
You know, we worked with anime.
We worked with Attack on Titan.
We worked with One Piece.
And, you know, we kind of like, you know, that's where we learned a lot
and understood what global and sort of
renowned IP building looks like. So, you know, for us, it's a journey. We're going to continue
on the journey. I just can't say enough, Pamela and to Hype and to everyone here, you know,
how grateful I am. And again, appreciative of Hype's efforts.
He's the one that holds it down for the both of us, for the World of Things brand.
He is really the face and the brain trust behind World of Things.
And I hear him talk about the lore, Pamela. And I don't know about you, because it's been a minute, been more than a minute, right?
And that was the thing that from day one that got me so hyped, pun intended. And, you know, because it really starts with the
brand story. It starts with, you know, where that lore begins and with hype's background,
because the thing is that I always find helps is when you have a personal passion for this kind of stuff, which hype does, you know, I'll be, um, you know, I'm, I'm a, I'm a business
guy, uh, started on the corporate world and then started Leico studios and learned a lot about,
you know, marketing and branding and strategy and things of that sort. And, um, we compliment each
other. I, you know, definitely will say. Again, coming from a Web 2 background myself,
hype primarily from a Web 3 background.
It works out really well.
So I love when I hear him talk about the lore
and going back to, again, starting with BGG,
even when he talks about the origination of Jules.
Just so you guys know, I mean, we've worked
and sort of connected with screenwriters from Hollywood.
And, you know, there's a handful of them that are still aware of what we're doing.
But it's a step-by-step process, right?
So, you know, the story and the lore is very important to us.
And then everything else that comes with it is equally important.
But, you know, there's a formula to this.
So when Hype talks about little nuances where he says, you know what, he talked about the
robots facing one way and BGG facing another way, he's crafted very meticulous details,
you know he's crafted very meticulous details not only in the lore but also in the mechanics of
different uh um of different uh collections and uh i'm used to it like i mean you know i i i've
gotten used to how his brain works and how it function and it's great it it's definitely um
And it's great. It's definitely, you know, to the benefit of the Watt brand and everything, everything with it.
So for those, so for those that, again, are, you know, just getting to know the Watt brand, just getting to know Hype.
I mean, like I said, you know, he's a legit one being the creative and the, you know, the genius, for lack of a better term,
support them every step of the way.
Because I think one of the things that
we looked at, even from a business model
mindset, so let me switch gears
building, one of the things that
I love, and that's great about this this is that we have these factions from BGG to Roguebots and so forth.
But there's going to be a lot of opportunity for character building with it.
Again, Jules being a perfect example of that.
It's exciting when you really get into it.
And like I said, you see the vision and you get into the deeper details about it.
It's fun, Pamela and everyone out there.
I mean, it's fun to get into it.
And now I think that based on some of the changes Hypen High made from a strategic standpoint,
I think that based on some of the changes Hypen High made from a strategic standpoint,
even from a business operation standpoint, with what's happened with this particular Mint,
we're going to be able to continue to keep on building on a more consistent basis, legitimately.
And that's something I feel that, you know know we haven't been able to do in the
past where you know we'll come up with a collection and then there's a bit of a a lag or whatnot but
you know um high pass the roadmap I mean we've discussed it we've gone over it and at the same
time uh you've got the web2 world also kind of peeking in, again, being methodical in their own right and doing this.
But, you know, Pamela and for everyone else is saying this is why, you know, for me, building relationships with, you know, investment firms, venture capital individuals is so important because we do anticipate, you know, and it's all a relationship thing.
I mean, Hype mentioned it, and I applaud applaud him for doing this and I feel the same way.
Anyone wants, that has any questions
or anything like that, it would be easy for us to say, you know, build
your bag, you know, grab every NFT that we have.
But that's really not the approach we want to take. We want everyone in our community
Pamela, you know, we want to guide them in a way that's smart, that's efficient.
So I heard Hype mention it and comment about it earlier.
It doesn't make sense to just, you know, grab a free-for-all for every, you know, NFT asset that we have out there.
Understand the mechanics, which again, Hype is happy to walk you through.
Pamela, you probably could walk someone through the mechanics as well.
I'm just wondering, are you our last
Maybe Freckles because I think I saw her for a minute last night.
No, it would probably be Mente.
Okay, so everyone came around around that same time frame.
I came maybe just before Thanksgiving.
Mente was the first one just because Mente's Mente came in like a month
before we even started minting.
give or take a couple of months of each other.
So shout out to you guys,
and obviously Pamela who've been there since day one, our day to you guys, you know, Mente, Bob, and obviously Pamela, who've been
there since day one, our day ones. But, you know, what you can expect from us, and obviously,
certainly from Hype, who obviously has been holding it down for us on Web3, is that we
won't steer you wrong. I mean, we've had a lot of ups and downs. And again, Pamela, you could
talk about this, Bob, Mente, you could talk about this. Where, you know, I think it's natural in Web3 to always question someone's
intentions. But we've been through it. We've certainly been through it. And I'm sure Hype has
maybe commented to some of you and some of you are aware of some of the things that we've needed
to do. Even here in our home province, you know, our home state,
you know, where we've had to defend ourselves against PC securities
We've done what we needed to do in terms of lawyering up and making sure that this brand,
and even our individual names, have stood clear. And it took a bunch of months and took a toll on us in every respect,
on us in every respect, but proudly able to clear our name. Not that it was, there wasn't any pending
charges or anything like that, but we were under the microscope of the Securities Commission here
in our jurisdiction. And we met with them frequently frequently met with our lawyers frequently and then at the end of the
day uh you know the conclusion was in our favor um we're proud of that because we know where we
stand uh from the very beginning we know uh the sincerity and the authenticity we bring so when
it comes to guiding people in terms of you know which nfts to, how to buy it. And again, the mechanics around it to give you
the best possible advantage. That's what we want to do. And then as we continue to build up this
brand with, you know, future, you know, launches of various products, whether it be Web3, whether
it be Web2 or whatnot, that's really where the core of our intention is always going to be.
that's really where the core of our intention is always going to be.
So that's kind of the little spiel that I wanted to say.
So I appreciate giving me some air time on the stage.
Again, shout out to Hype for doing what he does normally.
I mean, I talk about, I think it was Brooklyn.
I think Brooklyn was talking about it last night where, you know,
questioning whether hype sleeps or not, right? And I remember from the launch of BGG in November
2022, and probably for the entire first year, he didn't sleep. Well, I will say that caught up with
him. I know firsthand it caught up with him. So it's not good. As much as I know he's passionate and gives so much of himself. Pamela, you've talked about it before. Hype is very generous when he is, he's the architect behind this. He's very generous when he's building these mechanics, when he's thinking about giveaways and things of life, to his own detriment.
when he's thinking about giveaways and things of life, to his own detriment.
Like I said, Hype and I probably live 20, 25 minutes away from each other.
And so I've seen it take its toll.
So this isn't intended to artificially gas him up or anything like that.
I mean, I would say the vast majority of you in this room don't know who I am, which is fine.
It's okay. Like I said, uh, hype and I divide and conquer hype is the guy and the face behind,
uh, world of things. And, uh, you know,
I just wanted to give him his flowers and make sure he's recognized it because obviously with the launch yesterday and where we at today,
I mean, you know, 80, uh, 80 plus percent, uh, you know, minted out.
Uh, it's an amazing accomplishment. And, uh, you know, like I said said, I can't help but feel blessed and grateful to all of you for coming out, joining the cause and providing your support.
And, you know, if there's one thing I want to continue seeing is continuing seeing hype receive the level of recognition that he deserves.
So anyway, that's that's it for me.
I'll still stay on listening. I got a
six-year-old girl here that's hungry. I'll be, uh, I'll be cooking. I heard others were cooking,
but I'll still be listening in and, uh, yeah, you know, um, let's go.
Wait, wait, you're supposed to talk shit about me, not glaze me. What the hell?
We did before we talked shit about you when you left and then talk shit about me, not glaze me. What the hell, bro? We did before. We talked shit about you when you left, and then we came.
I was here the whole time.
What are you talking about?
No, we muted you so you couldn't hear or talk.
Yeah, you thought you were on.
And then there's these DMs between Pamela and I that are going back and forth.
So that's been since day one.
My ghost and I used to have a show on Monday nights while Hype got a little sleep.
And it was fun because we both love football. We love NFTs and the world of Tings. And,
you know, we had a good time. And I'm still waiting for my ketchup chips.
I need a bag of ketchup. I want to try them. I haven't tried them yet. But people say,
you know, I like potato chips. Oh, damn, Pamela. I think I remember that.
And yeah, that definitely slipped through the cracks.
I am going to DM you. I'm going to ship you some ketchup chips.
Honestly, they're not my favorite, personally.
I mean, being Canadian and all, I'm not a sweet person.
I'm more kind of like a spicy, you know, that's what I would prefer.
But, hey, if you've never had it, I'd say you at least got to try it once.
And I heard they have these new spicy ketchup chip Doritos, like a brand new thing.
How come we don't get that in the U.S.?
There's a lot of wild flavors out there.
I don't know if you guys.
We have some crap in the, like.
I don't know if you guys have. I crap in the uh like i don't know if
you guys have i don't kind of dumb stuff sorry yeah like i'm talking about like insects and stuff
oh no yeah like there's nothing my latest potato chips well i mean hype i don't know if there's an
equivalent because you probably might know this in in the u.. better than I do, but TNT, if you go to TNT's chip aisle,
which is an Asian grocery chain here in Canada,
there's some wild flavors there for chips.
Like bugs and crickets and stuff?
I mean, there's nothing, unless it's,
if it's dead and it's not squirming around like a earthworm.
No, they're still chips. Don't get me wrong, Pamela. No, they're still chips. Like fully,
like, you know, what you would expect, Lay's and they're potato chips, but they're flavored funky.
Yeah. They, like they did this fried chicken version here in the U.S. and I'm like,
fried chicken version here in the US.
And I'm like, oh, this is nasty.
Don't ever buy this again.
it tasted like packaged barbecue chicken.
I'm going to send you some ketchup chips
and you can come back with your review of them.
All right, BRB, I'll still stay on, but I'll catch you guys in a minute.
Hype, do you like ketchup chips?
Yeah, of course I love ketchup chips.
but it has to come from a special place.
I like poutine like any other person would like poutine.
I'm not, you know, yeah, I mean, it's good.
By the way, guys, we are, just so we have some math,
we are at 1,214 minutes till we mint out.
1,214 minutes till we meant out 1214
minutes till we meant out so
again thank you everybody that's
yo I see David just showed
up David Horvath if you guys don't know who he is
ugly dolls in the house no um
I believe he's working now with the team at Klanos.
So, yeah, Pamela, like I said, this ride's been long.
It's been three and a half years.
I mean, you know, a lot of us wouldn't be here unless we enjoyed it, right?
So I'm looking forward to continually building.
Well, you did say in the beginning that, you know, like to really get to where you need to
go, it's going to be a five-year run because you want to build right. And then, you know,
there's going to be down periods where maybe you take a vacation or sleep a little bit,
or the market's down and things happen. You know, you go through little bumps in the road,
like the whole securities thing, which will actually set a precedent for other nft projects because you are a corporation so that's my law background i
mean you know it's it it's a good thing because we're still here and no matter what happens
you know people will see your drive and the art is dope and art will always get me into the door.
But then you got to have more than art.
It's got to be some sort of utility, gamify things or, you know, like I don't mind playing a little poker here and there or bingo.
But there's other things to consider, like traits.
Like, you know, there's a lot of people in the room that like certain traits
like you like the background that you have obviously it's not on what you're rocking right
now but you know and then there's people that unfortunately like the cheeto orange trait
on background it's not it's not always about it's not always about utility and perks it's about value
It's a word we throw around very loosely in Web3 is this word utility.
And even the word Web2, Web3 is thrown around very, very loosely in the space.
I've always gone with the notion of you have to have substance and value.
What's the value proposition?
And what's the substance you're providing and even like when i talk about web 2 web 3 like to me
the way i map it out in my head is like we have digital consumers i like you guys or you're buying
digital products which in this case are pfps and digital assets and then you have our our front
facing irl real life you know in what i call call in-store consumers, which, again, most of you guys are when you go buy products out there in the real world.
So when I kind of tie the relationship between this Web 2, Web 3, we have in-real-life consumers, which we're going to be touching upon.
But we also have digital consumers, which are people like you guys guys which are collectors and enthusiasts and more savvy with crypto and blockchain and eventually we'll marry the two the
two will come together at some point where it's to me a seamless transition between people that
already collect digital products i like you know digital trading cards and digital digital things
that most people don't realize today they're collecting, even though they are.
The only difference is it's going to be where it's traceable,
trackable, but it's still decentralized, right?
So we're going to get to that point.
It's just going to take time.
I mean, we're moving as fast, honestly.
We're just moving as fast as the space will go.
I mean, we can move faster beyond the space in certain areas but
as far as kind of curving where we are in the space it's very difficult like the biggest project
in this world and let's be honest like between pudgy and and board apes they're probably the
most recognizable when it comes to like brand recognition. But in terms of like volume and people,
like none of us are even close to being
where we can match any Web2 brands
when it comes to like the understanding,
the recognition, the appeal, the brand awareness.
Like we're not, none of us are there yet.
Having two, 300 people in a community is amazing.
And it's a bar that most people said,
like two, 300 averages is normal.
But again, out of a thousand, 2, 2000 people, we're talking about people that are probably
crossed into like five to 10 communities.
So you really don't have a core community that's focused on your brand.
We're like in, in IRL, you have people that are focused specifically on the target brand
or the Walmart brand or the, you know, Hasbro brand or this brand or that brand
where they're, they're, they're passionate like Lego. So it's very hard in this space to be able
to take that consumer base and really throw that in front of investors in web too. Right. So that's
what we're trying to do here is our goal within our brand is to create this, this brand proposition
to investors to say say like, look,
look where we are now in this tiny increment of a space and the percent of the people that we have
that are on board into our ecosystem that basically recognize our brand and socialize with our brand
and support our brand. And how can you as an investor take that same model, infuse it with
investment and scale up and scale up very big and very fast.
And if at least you have one consumer that loves your product in Web3, not saying that's enough, but at least you know you have one person, that's more viable than zero.
And taking at least one person and taking that back to an investor that has any belief in you, that gives you potential.
Absolutely. I mean, there's so many things that go on in projects like for me personally, the way I look at things. Sometimes I'll look
at something and I'm like, well, the art doesn't appeal to me, but then I'll go into space and I'll meet some people.
And then you know how I like to change my mind hype, right?
I'm never getting one of those because I don't like the way they look.
And then all of a sudden it's like I start talking to people and seeing the group that has them.
And I'm like, oh, okay, I get it.
But like you said, there are a lot of DM chats because not everybody's in the Discord.
One of the first projects, the largest projects I got into, the White Rabbit, 38K.
Now, yeah, only about a tenth maybe of people were active, but it was people all over the world. And that's where I
first, you know, you, you start to get to notice other countries and people and, and they're not,
they're no longer around. They just recently, uh, they got smaller and smaller and then they pull,
they, they rugged. But, um, you just, if you keep doing the right thing you keep grinding and working
and you keep working with your community because you're you're present there's a lot of founders
that are not present when it comes to the discord or i mean you can't be everywhere but you are very
present and sometimes we're just in the voice chat
and that's not every founder and so that's what i like about this project in you yeah well also i want to just shout out to you know m good g grizz lisa and obviously um mr lotion down there for
participating i hope you guys enjoy those nfts um grizzly like you said
you know i'm glad you're going to be uh gifting it um so hopefully she enjoys it um but yeah david
if you have time to come up i mean you know i i know that you know you have a history in kids
products and i know you're in the web 3 space and one of the things i've always advocated for in
this space myself and my my co-founder business partner is that you know it's a small market in web 3 with with children's products and i know it's a it's more of an uphill
battle than most ip versus like either ip that's in the ecosystem uh especially on chain and you
know my i'm gonna try to do my part to to really bring you know the kids ip to the to the world
through web 3 and it's it's gonna be an be an uphill battle, but we're going to,
we're going to push and persevere. So, um, I don't know if you have time to come up and talk, but, um,
it's good to see you in the room. Um, and yeah, just, you know,
it's good to see other, other brands being put into web three, like,
like Klano and of course, you know, with David's background and with,
with, you know, ugly dolls, if you guys don't know the ugly dolls, it's,
it's one of the most popular brands when I, I wouldn't say growing up but my my kids definitely uh went through that phase and uh you know i
remember that those times so but yeah pamela like i said you know um when i said it's it's definitely
an uphill battle i don't mean that's a bad challenge i think it's a great challenge i think
there's a lot of potential to grow because of that IP and kids products.
We talk about gaming a lot, right? We talk about things that are currently in play with a lot of us as adults.
And I keep stressing this, like the kids are the next generation, even though it sounds
They are literally the next generation that will come through this space.
And hopefully for the betterment of the space, as a lot of us have learned bad habits,
learned bad habits in this space,
but the biggest influence will be kids
because they're going to learn the right way.
They're a lot more tech savvy
than a lot of us were when we grew up.
And they're really going to be the ones
that set the forefront of everything that we do,
whether it's gaming, whether it's blockchain, whether it's crypto, whether it's gaming,
whether it's blockchain, whether it's artwork, whether it's education,
all the things we can think of in this space that we're all trying to achieve.
They're going to be the ones that take the reins and literally run with it.
So, and I see a executive on stage. What's up, brother?
Yo, yo, yo, fam. Just wanted to come up, you know,
just to give you a love, honestly. I love seeing all the spaces i know uh i could take some notes from you guys you know sometimes when it
comes to spaces myself but i just i learned to try to lean off myself when i'm posting so i just
try to join in other people's it works out better for me i take so much of my mental health if i
have my own space all day i don't know there's pressure involved for me i know it's we're used
to because all spaces probably feel it at least to some extent but i just really just may love guys to have these spaces. You know,
I know it's for the road with the robots, man, but it's just great to be able to,
you know, you just come up here and say hello. Like, you know what I mean?
I have always appreciate that about you guys use a never token gated, you know,
and you know, I get it to an extent, I mean, but you know, I don't,
I like the accessibility of just being able to say hello to you guys and all
that. So just really just want to give you guys your props and just say,
hello, hope you're doing well. And just love my robots. I want to get myself some
more, but just a little busy at the moment, but definitely going to grab myself a few more before
it mints out, bro. I'm loving it, honestly. No, you're good, bro. Like, you know, one thing I'm
just going to highlight again, you know, and I know you, you don't get a, you don't get a lot
of recognition. I mean, you onboard your dad and your dad is part of our community and you know,
it's, it's never been about age or boundaries, never been about race or
But ultimately, you know, you've, you've done your job, which is to onboard somebody
older than you, which in this case is your dad.
And, you know, one thing about our community, which is kind of, um, it's kind of funny in
a way because we are children's focus.
But we have, you know, um, age demographic all the way from down to like 13, 13, all the way up to I think 72 as our oldest community member.
So one thing about us is that the brand itself and the IP never really discriminates.
Because I think at the end of the day, the value is not really the art, even though I love art.
I think what it comes down to is, and I said this before, it's about substance, right?
is, and I said this before, it's about substance, right? That's the biggest thing is it's about
That's the biggest thing is it's about substance.
substance. And so as long as there's substance in a brand, regardless of the artwork, you could
have people from all over spectrums of ages and races. So yeah, I want to shout you out for that,
man, because I love your dad, you know, definitely a big Phillies fan. I know two years ago when,
when Pamela's team in Philly were going at it, I know they had their little, I wouldn't say
squabble. It was fun, but it's fun to see these two guys being, you know,
some of our older community members going at it with San Fran and Philly.
I was cheering for Philly this year because I hate the AFC
and the Kansas City team.
It's all good in the hood.
But, yeah, I like the whole aspect of people onboarding.
Like, your dad, that's so cool.
Like, I kind of onboarded my nephew.
I kept telling him, bro, you need to get into cryptocurrency because everything I have, all my wallets,
and I'm going to have to teach you about this,
you're going to get when I pass.
And he's like, oh, auntie, you know, I don't have time.
Now, he works as a computer IT person.
He did Homeland Security back when he was in the Navy,
doing all this secret stuff.
And then he helped me move a couple of months ago.
Well, actually last month.
And he goes, Auntie, I bought some Bitcoin.
And I'm like, oh, so you did listen to what I said.
So now, you know, he's starting to get into cryptocurrency
So hopefully he'll be in here soon.
But, you know, if we don't teach the younger generation,
and even sometimes the older generation,
who's going to be the legacy that's going to follow us?
Are you bringing people in?
Because jobs, when i got my very i knew i wanted to be a paralegal um i didn't want to be a lawyer back in 1986 because yeah i'm that old but you
know the high school 77 graduate then college and i was also a jock. And I knew what I wanted to do, and I knew there were an abundance of jobs.
Now, if you want to be a paralegal, maybe not so many jobs.
So you have to look at what is the market.
And Web3, coding, computer tech, all that kind of stuff, art.
Like, you know, like I have a friend who's
a digital artist for Pixar. And you have to just really look at, are you going to make money? Are
you just going to, like, some people, they're just content getting married. And, you know,
some of my older girlfriends is like, I'll just get married married and they can pay for everything no have a little
faith in yourself what's your legacy I ask that to people all the time what's your legacy and
are your kids that are coming up are they going to look at that legacy and follow it or maybe they
go their own direction and And that's fine.
But just help your kids be successful.
Because there's a lot of shit out there.
There's a lot of bad stuff.
And so you just want to make sure that everybody in your family is protected.
And there's got to be some sort of passion.
What is your passion that turns into your legacy?
My passion is building value.
You always want the best of yourself and what you build you build so you want the best for everybody else too like for me like selfishly i'm building this brand for me but
at the same time i'm building for anybody else that's coming along on the ride right i mean
and that's that's really the intent of this like me and like i've talked about again like a lot of
stuff i say here is probably like to most people like really cheesy and corn, but at the end of the day, it is what it is.
If people like it, they like it.
If they don't, they don't.
Me and Lycos have built this brand for our kids, whatever it ends up becoming.
There are a lot of brands out there that have built brands for their kids.
Their kids are now 30 and 40 years old.
The only difference is we're doing it in a Web3 environment.
Ultimately, the fundamentals I'm learning here and the fundamentals i want to kind of you know pass on and we said like
we expect this to be a legacy brand like i mean it sounds really again cornball and kind of cheesy
like wait you want this brand to sustain in web3 forever like why not why can't that be a goal
at the end of the day like that is our goal because some of you guys might be around and I'll be, I'll be Frank. I'll be very honest in 15, 20 years. Some of you
guys might be around still part of the brand. You're going to be dealing with my daughter,
not me. And she's more savvier than me. So trust me, you're going to be dealing with her talking
on these spaces and being in front of, you know, whoever she has to do corporate life with. And
that's going to be the plan. Like myself, you you know my daughter's a little older than lycos's daughter actually way older but you know for now
she wants to get into architectural design when she goes to college she wanted she wants to
understand business and you know without really grooming her she's grooming herself so eventually
if the time is right you know um maybe there'll be someone that comes in and becomes the CEO of our brand
long-term, but they will groom her and she, she eventually will become the head of this
brand and then you'll have to deal with her.
And so, yeah, that's, that's kind of the trajectory where we're, we're, we're kind
of focused on in the, in the short term.
It sounds like it's daunting because again, all of us have a really short attention span
Like a lot of us do have three to five week attention spans for the most part, but I've been here three years.
It's been a long ass three years and that's three years in this brand, not three years in web three.
And to me, it's young, it's early. It feels long, but three years is nothing in business. Like,
you know, like us and I talk about all the the time like most businesses are still in the red three to four years in um as long as we don't go in the red for you guys and we figure
a way to stay out of the red for us we'll just keep building but even then even though we're in
the red sometimes we'll still find a way and we have found a way so again this is why our mint
price is only 18 ape you know this is why we're only minting as small supplies funding to us is is critical to to keep
the the flow of web 3 for the brand and web 3 but ultimately the funds won't do nothing for us
in web 2 let's be very very honest and frank about that right so yeah making a free mint is cool
anybody can do a free mint anybody can show analytics with a thousand holders on a free
mint but how does that justify to an investor like what's the value prop like i could put out
a hundred thousand free mints right now and say to an investor like yo we just got a hundred thousand
people buying into this they're gonna ask like so what's the roi on this well nobody paid for it
well can't the next guy just do the same thing? Yeah, theoretically, they could too.
So we have to find a way to bring value to the brand
that investors are truly, truly invested into.
And so we're just trying to build out that model right now.
I agree because investors look at different value
than people in the Web3 space.
because it doesn't matter how many contacts you have,
you know, Warner Brothers, Disney, whoever,
you have to still produce.
You have to have a script
and you have to have different things.
And you can't just rely on,
well, my goal is to get on Disney.
You know how many people would probably say that?
But you have to be, you have to go where you feel is the best fit for your project.
And I know you're looking at different things.
You even went so far as to even talk with those people that do the documentaries on Netflix.
I don't think you've ever heard the story uh executive I know a few people have and
some people on stage this is the extent I've gone for this brand so back in 2023 um I'm pretty close
to Washington state so some of you guys might know the the headquarters of Funko is actually
based out of Everett Washington so I went out there with my girlfriend one day because they
were having a Funko event.
And my only reason for going to this event, because it was close and I knew it was a major
event, that Corp would be there. So I studied everybody on the team, like literally everybody
on the team. So I knew that if I see somebody, I'm going to talk to them about NFTs.
So I went around, did my thing, thing saw a couple people from their marketing team saw
a couple people from their corp headquarters you know some financial people some other people
but ultimately anyways we get in line the line wraps around the building we're there at 8 30
in the morning we're like literally last in line we're like 300 people deep and we're last in line
300 people deep and we're last in line this dude runs up behind us okay wearing a i think it was a
i think it was a spongebob or something backpack i can't remember which backpack it was
but he was wearing a backpack and shorts a t-shirt sunglass and he was holding like a slurpee
and this is like 8 30 in the morning okay and he runs up behind us and goes hey guys what's going
on we're like yo we're waiting you know we're waiting for a line this thing's going on funko event he's
oh that sounds really cool um do you guys trade pins me and my girlfriend looking at each other
like oh my god we're dealing with a guy that's psycho anyways we're like yeah like we we collect
pins he's like would you guys like would you guys like a pin we're like sure so he hands us two funko pins
he's like let me give you this one and let me give this one like these are like my collectible pins
um here's one for you that's like like a little older and here's another one
anyway we get talking he's like so why are you here we're like well we actually want to meet
with corp because we want to talk to him about digital assets and making potentially an nft of
starts debating with me about nfts like well you know what's the market for nfts really compared
to like physical toys this and that so we go back and forth for about 10 minutes and he goes i gotta
go we're like oh okay he's like yeah i gotta get to work we're like oh cool he's like yeah i'm
helping with the event and we're thinking he's like a you know just a dude kind of they're just
volunteering so anyways he's like you you know, I love your story.
I love what you're trying to do.
I talked to him about how long I've been like collecting Funkos.
I'm like 987th member of Funko.
So I have this certificate.
How'd you guys meet over toys, blah, blah, blah.
He goes, catch me inside.
I got, I got something for you.
So anyways, he takes off.
And then next thing I'm like talking to my girlfriend.
I'm like, this guy looks very familiar.
And he only gave us his first name.
And we're like, okay, okay.
I'm thinking, I'm like, all right, I got to go back to my Google and find out if this guy actually works for Funko.
Anyways, as I'm looking through my phone, scrolling through their corp images. I hear this guy's name get announced.
Yo guys, today we have a special guest, Mike Becker.
Everybody's like cheering.
And I'm like, fuck is this guy?
I look back into my phone executive.
You know who this guy was?
I have no idea, but I'm assuming it's so important.
He was the founder of Funko.
not even knowing at first.
I was just shooting the shit with him,
talking about NFTs and how it should be something that you guys lean on as,
as a demographic within all your collections.
Cause they collect like TV and movies and obviously like sports.
that's a segment you guys need to tap into.
And he was arguing with me for 10 minutes. Like, no, like NFTs are like, not the way to go. It's a fad. And I'm just like
arguing with him. And I'm like, I just want to talk to somebody for marketing and branding.
So he gave me a name. So that's kind of a clue. And like, he must know some people,
but then I found out through him getting introduced and people starting to sign
autographs with him that he's the, he's the original founder of Funko.
So then later on that day,
we actually ended up getting to meet with him.
So we're standing in line.
and his kind of token of what he does
and every time he goes to an event,
So he gave us a Shoka from Star Wars,
and it's like very, very rare.
So he ends up gifting it to us and it's worth $4,000.
Bro, that's so dope, bro.
It's like, it's crazy when you run into them situations.
Like, cause like, you know, it just happens to show you like how real some people are.
Like, I mean, how down to earth, like doesn't matter how famous or what people are.
Like you just get to see their true, their true person. Like when when you run in them situations but like you didn't know who he was at
first i mean it's just crazy you get to see like their true value as a person like you just see
how genuine they are and uh it's a great feeling because i love funko pop so just getting to hear
how genuine that person is it's pretty dope but bro to meet the founder of funko in a lineup just
trolling me just straight trolling me that was funny that was really funny so I was
so excited I got a I got on a discord call with some of our community I was like yo guys guess
what just happened and I guess long story short my point is like I will do anything to promote
this brand I will go to every extent to push the world of things you know what I mean like
and that was me going out there that day, that morning and just being like, yo,
I'm going to find somebody to get us in front of.
And so that is my point is that's my commitment to getting this brand to elevate is to get
out there and meet everybody I can to give not only us a chance to win, but everybody
Cause my, my, like I said, yes, selfishly, like I was out there for us, but I was like,
yo, you need to start tapping into some of these digital ips like some of these ips are huge and they could be really really good
product product lines for you guys now of course they haven't done anything he's left he was
actually the original founder he's gone he came back um you know onto the team came back as the
the the ceo and then he left again now he started his own brand. And so, you know, but it's a, it's a cool story. Right. But yeah, man, that's, like I said,
it's, it's those types of things that, you know, I'm willing to go to the extent for.
Bro, that's what it takes. You know, honestly, like people have to be willing to get out there
and do things like, you know, for me personally, like, I don't know, I think I've told you before,
but like when I first came into web three, it was like literally right after a big car accident for
me, both my arms are broke, my left knee, my right ankle, and part of my back.
So like I couldn't do none of this stuff like up until more recently.
So I'm so excited to be able to start like going out there and like going to conventions and all like for real, for real.
I'm starting to get to meet people because like I was so tired.
But like, you know, Web3 really helped me in a dark place.
I mean, like there was so much silver lining that kept me positive and really pushed me forward because like I wasn't able to move.
I wasn't able to do nothing but have a phone in my hand and uh you know a lot of people in this space helped me get
through that tough time and uh you know i'm just truly grateful for it and just want to like you
said bring as much value to this space it doesn't really matter like you know exactly how i bring it
like like you said any win for the space is a win for us all like even if for some reason like let's
just say i went to a convention like oh wow what are these robots like and they started like asking
they seen a picture of your nft i would promote your nft instead of mine because they were interested in yours and guess
what that's what's going to bring the space more more eyes is the bigger anyone can get it doesn't
matter who it is you mean the more eyes that get on any one project is going to bring more people
around the world into the space period so like i love that you see the bigger picture like some
people get like jealous and try to be competitive it's all about cooperation honestly because
cooperation is what's going to get us that worldwide view. That's what's going to get people wanting to be a part of
it. People don't want to like, you know, come into a space and try to learn about something they want
to invest in and hear all this drama about I'm better than you and all this. I'm not saying like
it happens because that's why I picked Ape Chain. So I feel like that doesn't happen at all really.
It does very, very minimum. I mean, you can't ever cut that all the way up, but you know, that's what
I love about Ape Chain. Like, people are literally collaborating and collectively
working towards a greater goal, you know?
I mean, that's what, again, you're right.
This is what this chain's been about.
we all win. At the end of the day, if
somebody takes a win, somebody
takes a dub, we all win. Like, you know what I mean?
Like it's chain and it's, it's, it gets eyes.
It gets everybody's eyes onto it.
No, exactly, bro. That's what people don't realize. You know, so people,
some people are so worried about what they're doing, but like, you know,
even with like the whole multi-ball thing,
like we went live the same day with our maintenance multi-ball thing.
And obviously it took a lot of attention away from our mint,
which is 100% fine because I told people,
I said, the better A-chain does in the long run,
the better that pal's going to do.
It doesn't matter how fast the product's minted out.
It matters if the product's continually dedicating their self
It doesn't really matter if it mints out one night
As long as the people are bringing you value, that's all that matters like look how many people like you know bubble
gun gang perfect example like there are so many people that support because of what you guys done
because of what you brought and it doesn't matter how fast the mink goes i mean it doesn't even
matter what's going on because people know that hype pamela they're doing stuff they're not here
just like mint mint mint mint without anything at all on the other end i'd listen my dad on one of your first minutes i remember my dad when he first
started man my dad won like 0.1 eth off of like two minutes when he first joined your project and
he was like holy crap like you mean that stuff doesn't happen often you mean like it does happen
but it doesn't happen often is what i should say like to where the little guy wins it and stuff
but you guys like i said you guys done it a lot you've brought so much value you've made sure to
reward people for support and uh it's noticed bro and that's what it takes in this space to
really be successful bro so like i said i just love it i love learning from other people i love
seeing the growth i love seeing the evolution like you know i mean we all know it there's always
gonna be people that disappear throughout the throughout the space you know but you know when
you see people like i said i've seen you for years now when you see people that's been here grinding
learning growing you're excited just like i'm excited for you like because of it because i've
been here since the beginning i've seen you guys at the very start i love the evolution i'm excited
to see where it keeps on going bro so like i said i love seeing the bigger picture it's very hard
for some people and i do get it like you said earlier we all want that instant gratification
we want to know it's happening right now but uh you know just also them long-term plans are very
important bro so just just always love to give you guys your props because it takes a lot to continually push.
Some people think, like, you know, some people that's giving me crap in the piss, like, I was like, well, how about you try it?
And I'm not trying to, like, be ignorant, but I've told them straight up, like, can you try it?
Or can you tell me what you would do differently that would solve any issues that you have right now?
And, like, they never even have constructive criticism.
Like, if you want to complain to me, I'm 100% fine with that but give me
some type of feedback that we could improve upon it then
yup yup hey by the way I put
the picture to the top so you can see
like imagine that dude walking up behind
you at the back of a line with a
slurpy backpack and asking you if you want a pin.
You'd be like, wait, what?
Yeah, I would have been like, what's going on here?
So, no, it was a cool moment, man.
It was definitely a cool moment.
It's always cool when you find somebody that is unexpected.
Because I know you're a big Funko Pop. I've only got a few of them.
I don't have a bunch of them I can make a wall with in a room and separate.
because I know you have quite a few of them.
Because I know you have quite a few of them.
Yeah, I mean, and also, like, you know, in the background,
we still have some relationships, you know.
Obviously, Pamela, you know that, you know,
I had a good friend of mine actually reach out to you, you know,
obviously with cash, you know.
Like, those are little things, like, you know, obviously,
executive, we won't get into to the situation but basically I
hit up one of my friends who plays
yeah and I got him to basically send
Pamela a personal video message you know
because she wanted to come to LA and she couldn't make it out there
I got him to send her a personal message
where he shouted out Pamela and was
wishing that she came out to LA and you know,
it was cool. It was a cool moment. You know what I mean? So yeah, there's,
you just gotta, you gotta pay it for it, man. You gotta do it right.
You gotta pay it forward and all things come around.
Oh, I fully broke that the karma is true.
People don't understand how much it is. The better you do.
Like I tell people all the time, if you're projecting positivity,
if you're projecting good karma, guess what? That stuff comes back
tenfold. People really fail to realize
it because what you're putting out in this
universe truly comes back and you just
got to pay attention to realize it.
Yeah, I wish he was still playing football so I can get tickets, but he's not.
You had to stop playing that mother...
I'm like, bro, come on, man.
You can't play another season.
He was the last I looked.
He was doing like a lot of weightlifting and stuff.
But he's into, you know, that whole magic thing with the cards.
Them, like, Pokemon and magic.
That's how him and Posty became friends.
They play Magic the Gathering and drink Bud Light together.
And then every now and then he'll open up like he'll have a football jersey of his.
You know, give it away to somebody.
And I'm like, damn, how did I miss this?
But he seems like a very genuine, cool dude.
And his little boy is so cute.
Pro athletes that are actually nice.
Well, you know, when we used to go baseball spring training in Arizona,
the players, they're not under the pressure they are
as when they're during the regular season.
And they would sit for a long time and sign autographs and give baseballs.
I got a game used bat once.
And, you know, I know they're real people.
And sometimes you don't want to go up to somebody in a restaurant and say, hey, I know who you are.
Could you, you know, no, no, just chill.
Because I understand we all get excited but um
i'm sure there are a lot of fans that sometimes overdo it and when you have an opportunity to meet
cool people um you know the the niners had some pre-season thing with military families
and they were autographing funcos and then i looked looked, and I'm like, Purdy has a Funko.
I need to get that Funko.
And so, you know, you just, it's my passion.
It makes me happy, keeps me positive, unless they lose.
But he did play for Seattle also.
He played two times for Seattle and he just he just missed
he probably still knows people though
he still knows a lot of the players on the team
he knows a lot of players
he's actually played in Jacksonville he's played for you know Tom Brady he's actually played he played in Jacksonville
he's played in Pittsburgh he played under
obviously played under Russ
as well and he played in San Fran under
at the time I think it was what's his name
what's your boy with the afro
I can't remember his name
the guy that did the knee thing
the knee thing you know the. The guy that did the knee thing. The knee thing?
You know the guy that kind of did the
I can't remember his name.
Yeah, I think he played for Kaepernick.
He played for Indianapolis as well for the Colts.
He used to do that karate kick when he would,
you know, he's a big, tall. He used to do that karate kick when he would, you know,
Yeah, he's a good friend.
I mean, I got to link up with him when I get back down L.A.,
but yeah, anyways, it was good.
Yo, Tony, I sent you, I responded to your PFP, bro,
the PFP you put on the timeline.
I sent him another 3D robot you could PFP, bro. The PFP you put on the timeline. Send him another 3D robot.
See if he responded to me.
We like those 3D robots, though.
It's cool that they're running around
and causing a little havoc.
Talking about havoc, I haven't seen him.
He was here the other day, though, for a minute, right?
Yeah, which is probably a good thing.
But he's in our time zone.
So, you know, if he's working during the day, it's harder for him to get here.
Whereas if, you know, if you're on the East Coast, it's already 1038.
So, but I see Meta Rides down there. If you're on the East Coast, it's already 1038.
But I see MetaRides down there.
Honeybee, what's up, bro?
Nifty's World is just kind of chilling there.
Double O, what's up, bro? haven't talked to you in so long uh-oh did i scare him i don't know how you scared him away pamela what's up with that
oh man i know it's just like that poof he was gone yeah like end game i'm good do you like your uh your robot bro is actually brilliant i actually

Nowhere in your league, right? Out of the zeros, but I've got my start, right? So yeah, thank you
so, so much, bro. I actually really appreciate it. Well, what's your passion, though? What's
your collectible passion? Me, honestly, I'm a little bit of a mint hunter freak. I like binary numbers, 888, like angel numbers and stuff like that.
There's nothing wrong with that.
So are you waiting for a 6666?
Yeah, all that kind of stuff.
I like all those kind of numbers, ascending, descending.
I really collect numbers because people sleep on them, right?
And then I like art as well right
i really like art so i think nfts is like food for the eye right so if i like it somebody else

you know you guys can keep practicing and see if you guys can and match or be wouldn't be here
until like 3 40 in the morning right listening to this space of all spaces because i just feel like
So I like communities, bro.
I really try to, like, you know,
find places where I can do at home, right?
And Ape Chain's done that for me
and I meet a lot of cool people here.
So I'm just, like, having fun.
Yeah, I mean, we've had some good conversations
So, yeah, man, anytime, like I said,
if I'm hosting a space and it's, you know,
whether it's, you know, an ape chain space or a space for the community,
you know, you're obviously more than welcome.
Usually on Tuesday nights, I usually do a space at 8 o'clock Pacific,
11 o'clock Eastern, you know, with our community.
And now you're a part of it. So I might start running a little bit earlier and just running a little longer,
you know, because the community has definitely gotten a lot bigger in the last 24 hours.
And like I said yesterday, I said today earlier in the space when I started, you know, I appreciate everybody that's been supporting and minting, you know, because they like the artwork and they like what we're building.
But also I want to obviously say thank you guys for supporting me personally, because, you know, this journey for me has been has been a long one.
me personally because you know this journey for me has been has been a long one um you know i've
i've spent a lot of time trying to foster those relationships and i think i'm doing an okay job at
it and um you know at the end of day like like i said whether you're minting or not minting
got a free one not got a free one like my expectations on myself will never change
like i said you know at the end of day like you guys are part of this community now. It's my job to foster 140
plus of you guys, uh, to see the value in the brand. So I'm just going to keep doing that. So
yeah, day, day, day two of mint, but, uh, day fucking 1200 and whatever of being in
spaces as a founder. So I don't know. It's, it's's been a minute let's put it that way i started
i started running spaces in like july of 2022 uh officially and i ran 116 days straight burned
myself out through our second minute actually caught covet through a 24-hour space i was running
and um yeah that is what it is yeah so when Rita says like being a founder you're you're
I laugh because I'm like yeah you want to tell me that three years ago because three
years ago you could told me that bro we had your back though I need to blame um um the
alpha though because I got a loyalty because of them because I even hold all their nfts since
the beginning and I need to blame the frog lens for keeping here and making me feel welcome and
then you got ape espe Espanol.
And, like, man, there's so many communities here that are dope, right?
You've got Bouvet there with Frostbite.
So I'm, like, I'm just collecting.
I'm starting to, like, know who is who.
And then, yeah, the other side games a little bit got me hooked yesterday, bro. After four hours of playing around with Ovi and, like, getting everything set up,
I forgot to save my setup.
So I started again tonight, but I just completed.
So I'll be streaming soon.
So I'm like really looking forward to this.
Yeah, it's all dope, bro.
Like I'm actually excited, right?
So yeah, agent, I see you as well.
This woman's just packed with alpha, right?
So yeah, shout out to everybody, Ape Chain on top, right?
And the hype, yeah, it's been a pleasure
chilling with you the last few times in the games
and just getting to know people as people, right?
We all have the same passion.
You said you've been here since 2022.
I've been here since 2020, right?
12 to 18 hours a day grinding.
So trust me, I've been the ups, the downs,
the bear market, but I'm still here
and I'm having so much fun.
So yeah, it's just only up from this way here.
Yeah, I mean, like I said,
today was the second time I've been in Honeybee's Espanol space.
And I have no shit what he's talking about.
But all I knew is when he said my name, I give hearts.
He could have been talking shit about me for all I knew.
But I was just like, yo, I'm going to just heart because he said hype.
So you could have just said, hola, como estas?
You know, it's basic, simple.
No, he said Dios más desp, it's basic. Simple. No, he said, Dios, mas despacito.
I said, Dios, mas despacito.
I actually had to say it slower,
otherwise I'd screw up the word.
So I probably screwed up anyways, because I'm not, yeah, I'm horrible.
And I swear they were laughing, like, why is somebody who doesn't speak Spanish here?
And I was like, in the comments, I said, well,
Honey Bee said we can learn Spanish by by joining it the the space so why not i mean we got we got a lot of fetish people in our community now you got a you know
oh yeah that's that's why i joined it it's interesting i could pick some pieces out and understand. So I always wonder, isn't there a Spanish word for, what do you call it? Mutant. Or instead of, you know, you're in a sentence and all of a sudden it's English. I always wondered about it. A lot of people have mentioned it lately.
English I always wondered about. A lot of people
have mentioned it lately.
I was talking to you, it's like, it's got to be
I'd like to know instead of having to ask
Yeah, I mean, like I said,
good to get into other people's spaces and support them.
Like I said, I support hanging in spaces
because we're working together, obviously, on other
games. It's been good times. We're working together, obviously, on other games.
It's been good times. We have another game this weekend, too.
Oh, we got our... Yeah, yeah. We're going to have...
I haven't been catching up. I think we got a test game tomorrow. Yeah, everybody come, man.
Rover, Rover, Rover, Rover or something.
I never played, never had anybody
was move into a new neighborhood.
Or some of them can be. But I think that'd be fun.
Yeah, there's gonna be some good games.
I just like to go in there and sit on the bubble.
And then get in the bubble and go.
I've got to figure out how to run fast when I'm in the bubble.
And then I notice there are people that when they're in the bubble and there's about 100 people in the bubble,
I want to get to the other side of the bubble, but I don't know how to scoot my way over there
because I use an Xbox controller and my mouse at the same time.
Because there are some things that are faster with my Xbox controller.
And you're G's, aren't you?
This is like, I feel almost naked because I haven't, I've been rocking my G's for so long.
And then I did the robot for our men and then
um yeah but for the games I'll I'll be in there back with my G's and you know it's and I have to
figure out how I know how to glide but I'm not good at distance to get right to something like
I finally got to the right eye and I needed to get,
like tall kind of a woman avatar thingy
and I needed to be in the other eye
and I was going to jump from one eye to the other
I ended up on the ground.
I want to know how to get the fire out your butt and fly or disappear and
come back or just well i have a regular the people that have the little things on their feet that
have the look well you know what i do have the the thing with the fire ring that goes around
somebody gave me and so i can go up and i've got fire, but I don't know if that'll speed me up.
We were told the shift key, if you press that, you can go faster. But in actuality, it slows me down.
Yeah, it slows me down. I can't get it to go fast, like when you're in the bubble. If you play the shift key,
when you start running, don't press the
shift key. And when you start running,
then press the shift key. So then you go from slow
to fast, otherwise you're reversing it.
bubble, it doesn't work right.
It doesn't really work in the bubble
for running. The shift is if you're just running
on land. And my advice is to go and play every hour maybe,
Practice for a week, right, to get in the hang of it.
So yeah, just practice. Practice makes perfect.
But I see people that are running so fast.
That's how I lose it, red light, green light.
How do you make the bubble go faster in direction?
So like you have to change your mouse.
So if you've got your mouse and you look up the way, right,
then you move up in that direction faster.
You look down the way, so you change your view.
The way you're looking at it is the direction that you move to.
It's like I'm going around in circles all the time.
Somebody's working on a map.
I don't know who it is, but I need it.
Yeah, I think there's people working on maps.
They definitely need a map,
so at least you can see where you are on the map compared to the map itself.
I think that's really, really cool to have.
I don't know the names of things.
You never know what they're...
Like, they said, we're going to meet at the auditorium, and I'm like, where the hell is that?
When you got there, I actually knew what it was.
I just didn't know that was the name of it, so...
It's at the big billboard.
I didn't see a big screen.
You know, one of those things where they put
the names of the movie on it. It wasn't that big.
Like, we just all coined it
ourselves. Like, Peepy Man's Cake,
we think it's Peepy Man's Cake.
That's the blue thing. The Peepy Man's
Cake is the blue thing. Then you've got the big skull
and the auditorium is the thing that looks like
If you get in a bubble and fly all the way up as high as you can and then look around 360 degrees, it's really easy to spot where everything is, right?
Yeah. Cool. I'm going to try that probably tomorrow.
I try to go in at least an hour or so a day like you had said.
I don't want to get the hang of it.
Just use a mask and a keyboard.
So maybe we can't get the control. It'll work right.
I'm going to make a tutorial.
That's what I'm working on.
So I've got everything set up.
I'll make a tutorial and you can watch the video
and I'll break it all down.
Yo, I'm going to give a, I'm going to give a quick update.
We've got some new people in the room.
Again, shout out to everybody for being here.
6,288 out of 7,500 in the Mint.
I think we're at 84% of the Mint.
We started yesterday around
Everybody that's supported, thank you so much.
Everybody just showed up to the room
and support. Thank you so much.
Everybody's been putting stuff on the timeline.
Obviously, shout out to all the other hosts that have had us on,
on their spaces, like Agent.
And, you know, obviously, Showbiz and the gang over there.
And, of course, thanks for Board Gazette doing our article today.
This afternoon, I pinned it to the top.
Just a little bit more about, you know, me,
Lyco's the project and what
we're building um i announced earlier today there's there's obviously more being cooked and
and ready to deliver in the in the short term here uh you know this is for some of you guys
that don't know this is chapter two um of our of our of our what i call the chronicles of bubble
town so this is chapter two which is robots we do have a chapter one bgg that launched in 2022
um it was moved over to ape from eath back in may we just migrated um the robots that were
pre-minted meaning like they came over from eath and then we are minting now the remaining supply
um once we have the the supply minted out um bringing these two collections together is really
critical now i want to say bringing together what it means is basically now we can move on
and progress some of the stuff we're trying to deliver.
To note, though, and I announced this today in the space,
and I'll be putting out something over the next couple of days
so you guys can understand a little bit better,
but those that own a robot and or those that own a BGG
will get some additional benefits.
We're going to kind of gamify it a bit
where we actually support ApeChain a bit more by doing some additional benefits uh we're going to kind of gamify it a bit where we actually
support apechain a bit more by by doing some additional transactions and yes it's transactions
but it was going to happen anyways regardless because of the way we're gamifying it
but i'll talk specifically to robots so with robots um once we mint out we're going to start
working on our our platform where you're going to be able to basically energize your bot every day
for a period of time while we're building out what's called the orb. The orb is going to be
a free mint to you guys that hold the bot. Now that's going to be is basically after we go
through the energy cycle, which basically on our website, you're going to go every day and claim
energy until we get to the point where we're going to do the mint. And once you guys have
topped up your energy, you're going to get an orb.
The orb and the robots will go together
as part of a staking protocol we're building out,
which you're going to be able to get multipliers.
There's going to be different parts of the multipliers
and the staking that reward you.
So those that don't know, BGG is our first collection.
Like I said, it's Bubblegun Gang.
It's our children's collection.
With that, it's going to be very similar
where you're going to be able to earn lemonade. It's our children's collection. With that, it's going to be very similar,
where you're going to be able to earn lemonade.
So think of kids like at a lemonade stand,
basically trying to earn money off people that walk by and try to get a drink.
You're going to go in every day if you have BGGs,
And we're going to be providing you guys
They're basically companion pets.
And so with pets and orbs that
go with your bga robots those combined will go into a staking where you're going to be able to
get multipliers and those multipliers like i said will earn you things like um rewards back through
dripping out ape to um being able to receive some some some benefits through irl products to
things that in the future, and this kind of
leads to more of the gamified side. When we build out our deed and when we build out Bubble Town,
they'll have things like emotes and skins you can trade and areas that are going to be
available to you guys at Unlock based on the amount of multiplier you have. So we're going
to gamify it. Again, this is not the end goal of our brand guys this is just
one key piece for you guys to be entertained with and be a part of and be participants of
while we build and scale the rest of our brand out so again i've talked a little bit about it
earlier i've talked about it now i'm going to be putting out something on that a little bit more
so you guys can understand the mechanics behind it but um that's something we're going to build
over the next uh four to probably four to seven weeks um once we get through uh the mint and into like late september our focus right now is to build
income island which is another metaverse we're building out um as part of our roadmap so expect
to see something like that in place by late october early november so if you guys can just
hold on till then um you guys will see that come into play
to see you like in spaces
or you know wherever people
so people can always see you
you might not always be rocking
might have one of your mutants on, but like I said, people know that you're active and that you're working hard behind the scenes.
At least those of us that have been around for a while.
Because, you know, honestly, I'm one of these people that's a long-term person with every job
like i was 19 years at one law firm 14 years at another law firm and when you when you find
something that you may not every day might not be a great day but if you do what you like to do and
you see other people around you busting their ass day in and day out you want to
be a part of that and so you know I know there's founders in the room that are active in their
communities and that's awesome and I know sometimes there are founders that have a day you know day
job and they got five kids and and so they come in when they can and they have a day, you know, day job and they got five kids and, and so they come in when they can and
they have a good team around them, but you just keep doing what you're doing hype. You got a lot
of people that have your back and you know that already. Yeah, no, I mean, all I ask is people
that support me is just keep supporting me on the timeline, keep supporting me, you know, by keeping
me motivated, you know, I'm going to do my job, which is to keep this brand above my shoulders and keep building.
You know what I mean? Like I, I'm not going to quit based on circumstances or days or whatever.
I'm going to build based on the fact that I have 140 plus participants, community members,
investors into this brand. That's what I'm building for right now. Long-term, we're building for the masses, 100%. But in the meantime, I'm building for everybody
here because ultimately you put your trust in me and purchasing or minting a PFP. And, um,
you know, at the end of the day, that's, that's what it comes down to. Right. I never look at
this as like one of those, Oh shit. Now I got people that minted like what do i do it's more like oh shit i got people now i have responsibilities towards and so
again at the end of the day i've i've i know business pamela i understand what it takes
um you know i bust my ass off not because i have to i bust my ass off because i love to
that's the difference you know when you love to when you love to bust your ass
it's a lot different than when you have to. Look who appeared up on stage.
Looks like the bots are doing well
they're doing very well my friend i mean we're at uh 84 percent we're at 62 88
um and again for you guys that don't know um both the project here jody as well as jabral
down there have joined the team and i always like to preface the non-exclusive part they're
non-exclusive to us but they are going to be on the team building with us long
And a lot of cool things are going to be coming from both these guys as part of the team that
are doing the art for a lot of things we're doing in the future.
So yeah, I'm excited to have both these guys on the team.
They're very motivated as individuals.
They're very talented as individuals.
And, you know, like I've always tried to do and people
have tried to do for me i'm going to lift them up and they're going to lift me up and they're
going to lift this brand up and so i'm excited to have both these guys starting to cook with uh
some of the stuff we're working on i know i just mentioned uh jody sidekicks a bit so obviously
jody and jubal are going to be tag teaming on sidekicks and uh i'm looking forward to see what
what they can produce together uh for you guys so yeah it's going to be uh something in the future nothing right now but um
again in the meantime i know these guys are going to be supporting and building our content wherever
we need to uh to continue to elevate this brand and and keep moving up the charts not from a
financial point of view with the price of where we're at, but more from a value proposition, like I said.
How's the house coming along, Jody?
It's coming. I got attacked by my daughter. Sorry.
Oh, that's cool. How's it feel like to be in a stable place where you're not traveling a lot?
You'd rather be traveling?
Yep, 100%. Yeah. I kind of feel that way.
But I'm super excited about everything that's going on behind the scenes with
hype and all of that. So, Oh yeah. It'll,
it'll allow me some time to focus on that.
Welcome to the team, bro. I'm excited. Thank you. Yeah.
Yeah. I'm going to make these guys work.
Good. yeah i'm gonna make these guys work good i'm like yo you got locked in and we're gonna work 24 24 hours in one day together no i'm just joking
but i am gonna have a space in the future guys me and your bro have talked about it
um it's gonna be called uh ltfi and we're going to do a 24-hour space which is
called lock the fuck in and uh anybody's more than welcome to come through we're going to just
basically be cooking for 24 hours straight on stuff we're doing individually but also if anybody
wants to come through and and and cook with us we're just going to be cooking on spaces so
yeah just run ideas by each other and help each other out you know if anybody needs like connections
internet Rolodex and be like yo
come through the space because this person has a question about that
but yeah I'll be on there for 24 hours
I might get giddy for like an hour and a half
and then I'll just probably go back down and be me
you know what would be really fun to do during that space
is in the first 10 minutes of the space,
we take people that suggest what a fun little collection would be.
Just a fun collection, right?
And then anybody who comes into the space over that 24 hours,
at the end of the space, they can mint the collection.
So it's like extremely exclusive and me and um jabral jabral i don't know how to say his name but we can work on the project
for those 24 hours and at the end of the project or at the end of the space we can launch it and
anybody who submitted wallets during the space gets to mint them. Yeah, just full send.
Or just take everybody in the space
and just do a rendition of their
PFP in a different way and just be like,
yo, here you go. That'd take a lot of time.
Well, there's a big difference between time
of drawing individual pictures
Can I join you guys in doing the artwork, too?
Oh, sweet. I'm going to just be doing stick, man. You guys get a treat stick. Oh, my goodness. the art can I join you guys in doing the artwork too oh sweet
surprise that's not a thing
a stick man project out there I would not doubt there isn't if you google it got to be a stick man project out there I would
not doubt there isn't if you google it you probably can find one bro I'm sure there is
yeah well then I'm surprised there isn't one that slaps right I'm surprised there's not one
that's out there making its rounds well I think there is isn't there um
yeah what's that project I can't remember off the top of my head.
There's like the ones that sit in front of the computer.
What are those guys called? Is that what you're thinking?
Off the top of my head, I can't remember right now. I'm blanking out.
I'm looking it up. Because I'm sure it's so simplistic
it's probably just called
no no no there's actually a name
oh you're right yeah I think that's right
UK version where everything is about the queen
and different things and it's pretty hilarious you got the teamu version okay
no i got somebody actually did you know like a knockoff of the mfers and it's the UK version. It's kind of cool.
But it's been a long time. You know, we all have those things in our wallet.
And then when we look back in our, you know, hidden folder, it's like, oh yeah,
whatever happened to that project yeah exactly i kept trying to mint
this one and i couldn't get in any of the phases and i was like what in the world and then i
realized this is in the wrong wallet yeah uh-oh yeah it happens it. So then when it went to public, I just minted the crap out of it.
There is just a very simplistic stick man.
I mean, it looks like a four-year-old druid.
Yo, by the way, Jody, do you know that somebody actually ended up hitting one of the first legendaries?
So there's two more legendaries in the mix
and then there's one at the end that we're going to be raffling
So there'll be three in the collection
and then we're going to have one more outside the collection
we're going to be adding for one person
One lucky person in the raffle will be able to get that
fourth and last legendary so
so far we've had iron man voltron uh megaman and optimus and then now we have left uh c-3po
uh we have rosie from the jetsons and, and we have Megatron.
So those are the last three that are available,
which we'll reveal after mint once we mint it out,
and we have all the three legendaries minted,
and then that fourth one will go into the mix,
and we'll be replacing whoever wins a token,
whichever token they choose to replace.
That's dope. I like it. token Whichever token they choose to replace as dope I
Yeah, man, okay people see that they're like, oh, I want that Ironman, but
No, I'm gonna rebrand somebody really has what I'm saying. saying. Is trading open? Can I go make an offer on it?
I mean, you can make an offer for sure.
I think I know who owns it.
Some people just don't want to sell, you know.
What is this question mark?
The legendary Oh, you're going to get in so much trouble secret. No, tell me. I need one.
The legendary is listed for $3.99.
You're going to get in so much trouble.
It's under the collection.
It's under the question mark, which is legendary.
I know whose wallet it is now.
Maybe I should just go buy it.
I know whose wallet it is.
No, I know whose wallet this is.
You might, but I don't say.
No, because I'm making it.
yeah our plan is uh 2296 let's go okay if you click on it it's a gif it's not an actual static image it's actually a gift i'm lost in the shuffle of shit again which um
ape is it which which he said it was 308 399 for the token 62 60 50 that's the first legendary that's been since we started minting yesterday
you see iron man jody oh yeah i saw it
you saw that it's actually animated right it's animated
go go bro You saw that it's actually animated, right? It's animated.
Yeah, so there's Optimus, Mega Man, Voltron.
Oh, all of these are animated?
Oh, yeah, the 101s are animated.
So what's the difference between a 101 and a legendary?
Or do we have to wait to find out?
Now, so the remaining three one-on-ones, which are legendaries, are C-3PO.
C-3PO, Megatron, and Rosie from the Jetsons.
And then there's, like I said, the fourth legendary is going to be Raffled.
And that one's going to be custom.
Yeah, we back and forth a bit. It's all good.
It's all good. It's all good. Yep.
Here. Alright, well, I'm going to close down the space, Pema.
We've been going for like 3.2 hours-ish.
I'm going to jump into other spaces and obviously talk a bit more to some other communities
