Damn, what's up, everybody? What a beautiful Tuesday. Oh, my God.
I was vibing so much with the song.
Damn, White Iverson.
Let's fucking go post-mellow.
Guys, we will have absolutely crazy episode today.
Apechain on top.
We also had amazing episode yesterday by Apechain.
Apecoin going to Solana.
You know, other side and so on and so on.
Absolutely hyped.
And we also have the other page.
But I don't think to say other page,
but it's not other page anymore.
It's open page, open page, badge.
And we got to be giving away 150 Apecoins.
So 5% will win 30 Apecoins each.
So guys, retweet the space and get ready for the badge.
I'll share the password or the code very soon.
And I also need to share the link
because I'm not sure if other.page slash claim
works anymore because of the rebrand.
So yeah, we have like 20 seconds of intro.
Holy shit.
I don't know what I'm going to do,
but I'll figure it out, guys. Yeah. Let it go for the night That would be the best ever All the crazy shit I did

Myself, but this is ApeFest
All the crazy shit that I did

GMGM, everybody. gmgm everybody another dope episode i'm really happy to be here today not gonna lie i'm so excited about vegas i can't sleep i haven't slept in a week it's crazy and it's still more than a
month away right absolutely nuts can't wait So many exciting things happening in this space. Damn, we had amazing talk with Figgy yesterday with Apechain and Apecoin team.
Oh my god, they've been cooking, so I gotta touch on it a little bit. We have Apegames, guys. Apegames are minting, so if you haven't minted yet, go there, check it, mint it.
It's easy, it works. It wasn't affected by yesterday, heck, which was nuts.
But we got to get into it.
Let's say hi to Tino because you know why I play, you know, it was White Iverson's song.
And then I played Ellen Iverson talking about missing practice.
And Tino, you missed the practice, man.
You missed the practice last night.
What's going on, man?
How are you doing? Bro, GM, GM.
Yeah, I was missing the show already.
I was so excited to be on the show today again.
Yeah, man, it's been pretty wild IRL for me.
And it's going to be pretty wild in the next weeks as well.
It's actually my birthday week this week.
I'm turning 70 finally.
So it's around the birthday for me.
So it's around the birthday for me.
I'm super pumped up.
I'm super pumped up.
And yeah, so super excited about what's happening in the space.
A lot of stuff happening and can't wait to talk more.
Also with our guests and the people who will join us on stage.
How have you been, man?
Bro, bro, bro.
I think Ape Chain got you covered because you need to get some hoes on ApeChain
and there's nothing that would go wonk, right?
So, man, ApeChain got you covered 100%.
And also I can eat some peanuts.
Yes, yes, you can eat peanuts.
I don't know if Rita is here, but man, it's going to be hype.
Let me guys quickly share the link for the other page because I don't know if Rita is here, but man, it's going to be hype. Let me guys quickly share the link for the other page
because I don't know how it works like now.
If it's op.xyz slash claim, I'm not sure if that works,
but I will share the link in the comments.
And guys, the code for the badge, the code for the badge,
the code for the fucking badge is ApeFest.
Yeah, no one actually claimed or took or book
or how to call it ApeFest code, so we have it.
Grateful Show has it. You just, you know, claim it with code ApeFest.
We will pick, at the end of the show, we will pick five of you and each of you will get 30 ApeCoin.
Also, I kept the claim open for 24 hours, so even if you're listening to recording you can still claim but the winners are
only from live listeners here right now so yeah that's how i figured out i don't know if it's good
or bad but that's the way how we do it guys retweet the space share gm in the comments say
hi whatever you are interesting or excited about and yeah tino um anything exciting from the past
week that caught your attention before I share the code?
Man, so much stuff.
I think Solana thing is pretty big.
I think people are excited.
I think the entire project rate, I think, is getting a lot of attention also outside of our ecosystem.
I don't know how you feel about it, but for me, this is very bullish.
Man, we had a great chat yesterday with so many people on stage, people from Solana,
people from Apecoin, Apechain. I think it's very interesting. I actually did a
did a short summary. Let me quickly find it. Because it was such a long space history, it was over like three
hours, but PPM had mentioned
that Apecoin needs to reach new metas
and new audiences beyond Apechain
and ETH, right? And I think
Solana with millions of active users
and one of
the highest retail users basis in
crypto might be really
really good, right? We also
need DeFi and meme culture so there there
would be something for everyone right and i think that's a that's a good move also it goes hand
hand in hand with uh with other side because other side is powered with uh ape chain and ape coin but
i somehow have a feeling that uh there will be more chains involved somehow. I don't know.
I just have such a feeling.
And I also think that maybe we're going to see other Tokis
on the other side.
So I know you can easily get host there.
I think you can easily get a Wong there.
So man, absolutely crazy what's happening.
We also have, man, I don't know even where to start because
you know bathroom blitz guys don't forget to actually claim your badge uh on a other damn
fuck open page right uh on open page don't forget to claim your badge because there should be some
utility or i don't know but i just claimed it and there's gonna be a project outbreak uh also another interesting
other side experience and I to be honest I'm expecting announcement this week when it's
gonna happen so yeah other side is incredible other side is incredible I spend every day I go
there uh you know I see Honeybee and the legends from the from the other games it's really incredible
I had such a blast over the weekend we go there
we hang out and we talked with figgy yesterday about it right like spaces you know you're holding
your phone uh which which is got to be iphone 17 for most of you rich mfers right because they're
announcing it just right now if you you know you probably thank the market to buy that shit it's
gonna be the same as iphone 10 or 12 or what is that?
So you don't have to spend money on that.
But what I wanted to say that you're looking at your screen
and you see the avatars here,
but in 3D, you have such a different feeling.
When the bubble is full of apes and me bits
and mutants and other avatars,
it's really special.
And with other, yeah, man, ape games, other games, other page, open page, you know, and with the other yeah man, Ape Games, other games
other page, open page, Ape Games
Ape page, man, I'm confused right now
but I'll figure it out, I'll figure it out
with other
games, yeah we have Ape Games
minting but other games are killing it in the
other side, it's really great experience
to see it and be there with
you guys, so man, I'm
absolutely excited about what's happening i
don't know even where to start because it's crazy man yeah actually minted the the eight games i
think the guys are killing it i think that's uh i was saying that i keep working out every single
week just to be sure for the irl games uh for that digital part i'm not sure because each team always is trying to tell me to join the other team.
I'm not entirely sure whether somebody wants me or not, but I mint it just in case.
Let's see. And did you mint?
Yeah, I got 10 and I did it just to wait for other people.
And if they don't mint, I gotta mint
the rest that I'm allowed
to mint. Yeah, but you won
the games anyways already, so it doesn't
matter, right? Yeah,
I already won Ape Games, so I'm just
minting to support right now. I got you, I got
you, of course. Yeah, but
man, you know, talking about the badges and
we always thought
about it, right? Like we did and, you know, talking about the badges and we always thought about it, right? Like we did.
And Tino, I think we should do something with the POPS because we did POPS like for 100 episodes, right?
We did POPS maybe even before then.
In London.
In London POPS, right?
Back in 2022.
And we have those addresses, right?
So I will try to figure something out like og pop collector and we can
do a badge because figgy talk about it that everything comes chain right like you have the
you see what people did and you have pops you remember he talked about that helmet that we won
i won it as well bro you did also okay you also win you also won. He was surprised, I don't know, but I did.
And now we have these badges, right?
And there's going to be more.
Because they are also tracking people in the bubble.
Because they have their glyph bullets, etc.
So I think in the future, for you and for the brands.
And for us as creators.
I think this is going to be really cool.
Because you'll be able to say some crazy shit, right Like, you have all the badges from The Grateful Show,
you get maybe, you know, I don't know, whatever, massage from Tino, right? Like, in Vegas, who knows?
First thing that came to your mind.
Yeah, because I watched Power Fiction recently, recently so you know that they talk about the food
massage I was like yeah massage but but this is really really powerful and guys in in other games
they are also tracking who's there they are giving badges right so they're giving prices
imagine when when you can build and and there are many builders already right like uh i know
marcel with um with primal instinct and uh we know a lot of people has been building another
site already so it's crazy bullish also also figure yeah go ahead go ahead go ahead yeah 100
i i just just just want to double click on that because uh we've been talking about this for a long time we released
the t-shirt together where people could uh basically have a nfc chip and and so we also
uh release some collections and we do have those addresses and i think that's uh that's the power
of blockchain so the without you even knowing we basically you know you are part of it and we can we can give back to you
uh whenever we are preparing something whenever we decide to do something bigger uh many of our
early supporters or the people who have been on the journey with us uh we will take them uh with
us uh alongside the journey so i think this is uh this is very strong. The Other Page rebrand, I think it looks really cool
because it's probably a step towards other audiences
than just the Ape community
and also maybe possibly outside of Web3,
if I understood it correctly.
And I think this is a very powerful tool
for creators and for us,
even just doing the kind of giveaways
and being able to pick the winners out of the people who actually did join.
So I think the actually pull-ups that you mentioned,
they did a nice kind of groundwork.
So for the pioneers, and also they did a lot of cool stuff with,
the pioneers uh and also they did a lot of uh cool stuff with uh uh you remember those nfc uh ones
that we had uh also uh uh in in real life and the cards and and so on but i don't think they they
never uh kind of pushed it to another level and yeah and and make the right use for it for uh for
those people who actually do need it so So I think this is the correct direction.
100%, man.
And if you look back in the past,
a lot of us and a lot of projects,
we always thought about how can we create experiences
for our communities, right?
It's not easy,
but it's possible to do IRL event for your community in your city, right?
But man, we live all over the place.
It's so complicated.
Look at ApeFest, right?
Like you need to bring thousands of people
into one place.
Everyone has travel, et cetera, et cetera.
So I think digital experiences in the other side,
that's the alpha 100%, like other games, right?
You can create custom games for your
holders, etc, etc. So I
think this is a great way
how to actually create something for your
thousand true
supporters and fans. And
man, I can't wait to actually be
able to build on the other side. And
another thing that that
figgy actually mentioned was that i think there's a there's there was a roblox event and they they
announced that they're gonna give like three percent more to developers so i think if you
are a developer and i i don't remember the number correctly but it was something like from 35 it went
to 38 and with crypto you probably not gonna use stripe right like it's
gonna be on crypto rails so uh it's it's gonna be probably cheaper and it also opens another
amazing amazing utility for the developers right because they they will be able to make uh maybe
more money than in roblox right so you need to attract them to that talking about iphone right
like i remember when first
iphone was introduced first iphone didn't have app store there was no app stores you you got
apps that were installed in the phone and nothing else and i think the the biggest breakthrough was
that you allow developers to build in the ecosystem and build different apps right that's
gonna happen in the other side and we need to incentivize them and we need to bring the best devs ever and i see a lot of people building already there so yeah it's um it's very
exciting time to be in the space and you know be able to experience everything uh firsthand basically
so yeah i think you are right and not for the developers, but also for the creators again, because if you create something being paid in crypto or being paid in ApeCoin or any other
currency, I think just look at Pump.fun. Of course, there are some very stupid things happening
around that, but the creator economy is real it's happening and and uh i think
they are giving back uh something like 12 million dollars uh back to the uh back to the creators so
that's that's very real uh thing and and and i i think and that's my hot take uh for a while you
know that that i really think that the biggest driver in this metaverse future
might not be gaming as everyone expects but i think it might be culture it might be music or
basically show business if you if you want and music in general and some of these artists who
are now kind of pulling the strings and driving the culture forward,
I think that might be the future that brings the masses there.
Of course, the brands, of course, the games, that's huge.
But I think the connection of these things, or at least one of those things must be definitely the driver that brings the masses
to projects like like the other side because it's it's something special it I think everybody
who's here who's been there feels that it's it is special indeed man and there's gonna be a kodak cam which i can't wait to have in in other side because
the photography and we hosted uh the the other photos or other other side photography club
and man the views are insane it's so relaxing man we me and in maka valley we went to to just
you know we were in the bubble alone just chatting, having fun with a beautiful view.
And it was such a different feeling than being on spaces in 2D.
So yeah, and Gaga, he shared in the Discord, right?
That we'll be making a big push on the marketing side for Nexus
and have been polishing the first touch user experience for new people coming to other sites
who don't know anything about it. And I think that's going to be also important, how experience for new people coming to other sites who don't know anything
about it. And I think that's going to be also important how to onboard new people that don't
know anything about maybe even about apes and about what's going on here. So it's going to be
very interesting. I also saw the tweet from Frosties that it was a video, I think, from the
first or second trip man we had like
7 000 people there it was absolutely wild so it takes time to build shit uh i remember when i
talked i think it was just before the nft nyc 2022 i talked with my friend she's in the gaming
industry and i was like how much time does it take to build something like that and she was like i'm
not gonna say the number because she said like a big number but i was like okay i love it i'll be patient uh and let's fucking go enjoy the
journey and that's what i'm doing now you said fuck you i'm not listening to you no but i i'm
i'm cool with that because it really takes time to figure it out and we have a lot of people that
spend a lot of time in the other side.
You see other games that they came up basically with a,
they came up with a, you know, there are bugs in the game that if you are in the bubble and you go to the portal,
suddenly you can walk around, but you hear just the host, et cetera.
Like there are many bugs that they figure out how to use,
you know, for the red light and green light, et cetera.
And it's so much fun and it's great.
So people are already figuring out the ways
how to have fun in the other side.
And I highly recommend guys,
if you haven't been there, just go there.
The link is in my bio.
Yeah, if you don't have an other side link in your bio,
I don't know what you're doing,
but you can go there, you can chill
and maybe you can come tomorrow for me to the club.
Nah, not tomorrow, on Friday, sorry. I thought it's Thursday today. You can go there. You can chill. And maybe you can come tomorrow for Meet at a Clubhouse.
No, not tomorrow.
On Friday, sorry.
I thought it's Thursday today.
On Friday, you can come to Meet at a Clubhouse, right? And chill there with other people.
You can join other games on Saturday.
And you can have a feel how does it feel in the other side
and what you can do by yourself.
Because ODK will come.
More experiences will come.
And yeah, another take on timeline was that uh rux actually tweeted that i have a feeling that
other side meta or other side is about to become a multi-chain platform platform i can see it being
integrated with coinbase netflix youtube openc and even uh uAT. For the companies that don't want the volatility of Bitcoin, ETH,
Ape, Sol or Pengu, they will accept
a stablecoin.
The possibilities
are insane and
it's so easy to use it.
We were twerking around the pond
yesterday and Figgy was going around
and he was
giving us ApeCoin.
So basically, my first ApeCoin that I got in Other Side
was from Figgy for twerking.
Like, damn, what a story, right?
So, man, we still have five more minutes
before Hype join us.
I got AlphaDegen here and ApeGames.
Let's shill a bit what they are doing right now
because I believe it's important and we want to have a lot of fun and uh i i don't want to i don't want to spend
my whole somnia network back uh to mint out your collection guys so so you know uh i need help
alpha djn what's good man how you doing i'm doing pretty good man i. I'm actually the Alpha DGN intern, AI intern 2.0, 2.5 today,
because I turned up a little bit, but definitely saw the Grateful Space want to come support as
always. And just to come, you know, give a little information dissemination about what's going on
with the Ape Games digital mint and some of the gamification, some of the strategies.
And I mean, just whatever, man, we're here for it.
And behind the Ape Games account, we actually got the Intern 2.0's Intern 2.5, you know,
which sounds like a whole mess of redundancy, but a lot of information behind the Ape Games

And also, Showbiz, when you mentioned that you're coming in peace, man, it reminded me
one of the old videos, man.
I'll play just, you know, like 30 seconds, guys.
And then we're going to get what hype is minting i mean cooking but it's really reminded me one video
that i was like come on man i wanted two pieces of toast she brings me only one piece i tell her
i want two piece she said go to the toilet i say you know understand i want to piss on my plate
she say you better no piss on the plate, you son of my bitch.
I don't even know the lady and she call me a son of the bitch.
Later, I go to eat at the bigger restaurant.
The waitress brings me a spoon and a knife, but no fork.
I tell her, I want to fuck.
She tell me everyone he want to fuck.
I tell her, you know, understand. I wanna fuck on the table.
She say, you better not fuck on the table, you son of a bitch. So I go back to my room
in a hotel and there is no sheets on the bed. Call the manager and tell him I wanna shit.
He tell me to go to the toilet. I say, you don't understand. I wanna shit on my bed.
He say, you better not shit on my bed, you son of a bitch.
Oh, my God.
This is crazy.
What the hell?
Bro.
The jokes just write themselves.
What the hell was that?
Yeah.
That's something that you never experienced, man, because you are an English native speaker.
But, you know, that happens.
Yeah, no, I have never experienced shit on my bed.
No, you're right.
I'm sorry.
No, he wanted to shit.
Sheet. Not shit, man bed. No, he wanted to cheat. Sheet.
Not shit, man.
Sheet, you know.

It's going to be a lot of fun.
Grateful.
I want to say something.
I know a lot of people had a big scare yesterday
in this space with safety and security. We made the call yesterday to pause the mint
when that happened, and then we opened it back up later because we confirmed with our
dev that we weren't affected. So we wanted to make sure, you know, we keep that in mind and make sure we protect our community as well.
So, yeah, the dev, you know, gives us the thumbs up.
So I wanted to let you know.
But, you know, yeah, the public is open now.

But guys, it's time to get hyped.
And say hi to Hype. Hype hype hype how you doing today man what's good
yo gm gm i don't even know how to follow up after that last audio clip
bro but i i thought about you a little bit because i think you have a
you you have a little problem with spelling, don't you?
Wait, what?
What did I call it?
No, I don't know, man.
I take the name of the project and thinks it's spelled probably different.
And also, more than hype, is it spelled like that?
Or isn't it like with A?
I don't know, man.
It's all a twist, my friend.
It's always to... See, you just...
Here's the perfect example, Grateful.
You just mentioned something
because you remembered it, right?
You remember the fact that there's an E instead of an A.
And you remember the fact it's robots, not robots, right?
So it's burning your brain.
So you remember that, right?
I remember it quite well.
Guys, you told me so many words here.
You know, i started using
my plane because of alpha dgen and there are many there really yeah i didn't want to mention that
one i was like i want to go any further but exactly so thank you so much for that i can't
wait to get punched in the face in us so it's gonna be great but yeah man i remember that
because of that hype that's correct well let's
just add that to your bucket list in vegas that you get punched in the face how about that
yeah man so i actually did a chat gpt bucket list and i prompted like uh copy the copy stuff that
happened in hangover movie and create a to-do list for me. So the first one was to marry stripper Jenny,
Jennifer, something like that.
Face tattoo, tiger in the bathroom,
losing a tooth.
I don't know what else.
So I don't want to probably do that.
I mean, I could be here, Mr. Chow.
Oh my God.
It's got to be crazy. But guys, guys we gotta do special uh vegas ape fest episode
so we all know what to do uh where to actually fly we should fly straight to vegas or maybe la
or some other cities and and you know i don't know i don't know uh we'll figure it out but hi
let's get into what you've been cooking on onpe Chain, because I know you are behind World of Things.
And, you know, is that a project that you want to talk about today?
Yeah, of course. I actually sent you guys a DM.
If you can actually bring up my partner, my co-founder as well.
We get this special opportunity for him to talk today about his background.
I think it's very important. You guys know about him as well, his history because I think it's very important for our future and our brand.
But I don't know if you saw the request down there.
It's from Lycos, L-Y-K-O-S.
But definitely, you know, he's just spent a couple of minutes
talking about his background and gaming and where he comes from
and the correlation between that and where our future may lie
in terms of what we talked about even yesterday
and what we talked about with, you know, other side and other shout out to the boys by the way first and foremost uh my other
partners in crime is you mentioned it with with honeybee and and macaveli and g-spot and and other
games so thanks for the uh thanks for that and the fact that you know yeah every week you win i don't
know how that happens but i guess the algorithm programs are that way for you to win um but you're
probably gonna win this saturday so make sure you guys all show up and win as grateful win again.
And before, you know, Lyco speaks, yes, we are in a truce.
I forgot to mention that to you.
This is a three-week truce or however long this mint goes on.
But when the mint is over, when the cards are burned,
and when it's time to hit Vegas, the gloves are definitely back off.
So I love the boys in orange. Shout out to you. But I still love my boys in Aquamore. burned and when it's time to hit vegas uh the gloves are definitely back off so uh so i love
the boys in orange shout out to you but i still love my boys in aqua more so there's no hate there
it's just the truth uh anyways uh yeah let's get into it real quick grateful so you know um myself
my partner lycos got together back in early early 2022 um we actually met a year prior to um being
early 2022 um we actually met a year prior to um being uh two people based out of canada
uh locally in vancouver uh we came together as uh colleagues through a friend that wanted to
get some consultation done so he was an artist i was somebody that was fairly knowledgeable at
that point in web 3 and so through that you know we decided to venture off and do our own thing
because we both have a passion for building it we both have a passion for building IT. We both have a
passion for kids' products and kids' entertainment because we are both dads. And so me being more in
the space for over a year, just being a part of community, learning about the space and
understanding that, you know, unfortunately never is a day where things fail, right? So I said to
him, let's get together and build something really cool in this space, something different,
an IP that's not resonating in the space as of yet and something early on which was kids focused
but we got together in in like i said early 2022 to start you know strategizing how we want to
deliver this and so in um late 2022 we introduced our first collection called bubble gun gang or
bgg as we call it i know again you're going to talk about these names and the way we spell it. It's actually Bubble Gun Gang not Gum and we started that
venture in early November 2022 and we'll get into that shortly here but I want to also introduce
Lycos and just maybe him talk about his background before we get into a little bit further so
Lycos you there? Yeah what's up everyone? Appreciate everyone this morning and for the time on here.
What's up hype? Grateful. Love the this morning and for the time on here uh what's
up hype grateful uh love the energy man and and love diversity of characters here but um
yeah i won't i won't take too much of your time as hype was mentioning um you know for us it was
the uh meeting of of of two different worlds i mainly focus in web 2 um started leiko studios
for the better part about 10 years ago.
And we really started as a production house.
Fortunate enough to really develop a close-knit relationship with Microsoft Xbox and Sony PlayStation.
And from there, with the relationships that we built, some doors got opened us to work with other really amazing IPs.
And we got a chance to work with some AAA gaming publishers,
the likes of Activision for Call of Duty, Ubisoft for Assassin's Creed.
And then as everyone knows, obviously with, you know,
the popularity of the Xbox Avatar store, you know, really popularity of the Xbox Avatar store,
you know, really back in the day, I mean, you know, a plethora of other global IPs
from anime titles to, you know, other entertainment brands
really wanted to utilize that as a marketing platform.
And that's where we came in.
Again, very fortunate and just
very blessed to have worked with, you know, the likes of Attack on Titan, One Piece, and even
some movie productions from Warner Brothers and Paramount Studios. So really, we were we acted as
a production house, we have a very diverse artistic and design team here at Lyco Studios.
So when Hype and I got together, I simply, you know, my background is branding, marketing, and sales, going back to my days in the corporate world.
And I was just blown away with conceptual, the sort of innovation that came from Hype.
And that's how we got together, sort of melding the resources that I had with Lyco Studios
and blending it together with the knowledge and experience
that Hype had with Web3 at the time.
So that's kind of how we started,
but I'll let you Hype take on the mic
because obviously you have the lore and everything down.
Yeah, I appreciate that.
And of course, grateful to you guys.
Guys, I want to say one thing, and I absolutely love this because you are such a professional
and I know you've hosted like millions of spaces.
This is so great, man.
I can just sit here, relax.
I learned everything what you're doing, man.
I love that man you you you
should join us like more often bro but no i'm kidding like i love it you know i love it you
you guys are great absolutely love this intro and i think it's really important to have someone who
understand web3 culture right so we don't have that cringe stuff like that pepsi and coke or
what was that like uh walk me my friend etc etc oh my god
so uh love it and go ahead sorry i caught you up there sorry you know what man yeah i'm grateful
just to say that you know i totally agree with you when i when i encountered hype i didn't know
much about web3 at the time again as you mentioned we met in 2021 started working collaborating early
2022 it was always something on the periphery, right?
And with my team primarily being composed of traditional gamers,
I mean, they still game today, and that adds to their design capabilities.
But it was something that always intrigued me,
and hype honestly just came along at a great time
and really brought a wealth of knowledge.
Yeah, that's what Aquas do, man.
I have to refrain myself.
Michaels doesn't understand the cultural joke here,
but people understand at some point.
I'll brief him on this.
Don't want to get him to think of the battles
because I know he's an athlete by his regards and we go back and forth debating who's better at basketball
anyways, just cause he's taller. But that being said is, yeah. So, you know,
one of the ideas around our concept and when we came together was,
as I mentioned before and alluded to,
there isn't a real big niche or space currently for children's products.
I know when we talk about ip especially
in web3 a lot of the times we focus on what we like culturally in the space as dgens right
and so as we were getting to the era of like dick butts and things of that nature it was one of
those things where i kind of looked at does it make sense for my daughter who was nine at the
time going on to 10 to have her enter into the web three ecosystem, um, rocking PPS or images that relate back to the DJ lifestyle. And honestly, no, I mean,
I know it's a hard, well, it's web three, it's DJ, but really if we, we looked at, you know,
how do we expand, um, our eco in terms of where we want to onboard people with our backgrounds and
the ability to do it, where would we do it? And so for us, we wanted to take a stance on children's IP.
So we decided to go with children's IP.
We knew it'd be a risk because I know we talked a bit at the start about,
would we do something older?
Would we do something that's kind of different and quirky?
But we stuck to our guns and said, no, let's go with children's IP.
And so that's how we started developing out this idea and idea,
idealization of let's build it around a lore.
Let's create characters that were multi-diverse,
meaning boys and girls.
And even to a point where we decided to create ethnicities,
not specific ethnicities,
but make it so that there was a ability to have anybody that onboards
their children or themselves,
that they would have something to carry on as legacy to their kids in the
future. So it would resonate with them.
So, and again, bringing this idea of attaching this collectible aspect as a parent
and bringing their children along on the journey in a safe way.
So again, in 2022, we launched our first collection,
even though a lot of people tell us like, you're crazy,
like we're going into the bear market.
Why are you launching now?
But in 2022, November 4 4th we launched our first collection
on e called bgg or bubble gun gang um that collection again was a collection of ip that
was children's focus we spent seven weeks in a fully bare market um and every single day literally
every single day up to and leading to that mental 116 days promoting the brand and the project and
we minted out in seven weeks in a very bare
market so to kind of fast forward to today in terms of like where robots is and we'll talk
about it later i'm not too concerned about how long it takes to mint i know some people are
really hesitant about it mints out in a day in an hour in a week a month i've been through seven
weeks of grind i'm not i'm not worried about this it doesn't scare me so again we we mint it out
three days before Christmas.
You know, we celebrated as a community on ETH.
As we all know, gas prices were very high and challenging.
So it was definitely a tough stretch.
But we were confident in the IP.
We were confident that we would build out something amazing from that. So one of the biggest things that I believed in at the time when we built out that brand
and the first collection was, again, like I said, attaching lore.
And I know lore is sometimes not taken seriously.
I think a lot of times lore is played into the IP just for the IP, which is cool.
But I'm a type of person who likes to go outside the box.
You know, when we talk about Ape Games and me doing the badges to allow for people to mint, that was outside of a box experience.
Me working with the boys on other games and doing something outside of the bubbles that was outside of a box experience. Me working with the boys on other games
and doing something outside of the bubbles
is an outside of the box experience.
And so for me back in 2022,
as we all know, like we had contracts
that were very standard, 721s,
not even a contracts optimized.
We just had 721 contracts.
There was a little bit of dynamic metadata change,
which was cool,
but how could we be different
and how could we attach lore as part of the experience back to our collection?
What I did back in 2022 was devise this thing called a locker system.
And so for you guys who don't know what that means is we talk about toggles today, right?
I know that obviously Dengs and Fiends and even Clutch Puppies are having this thing called Toggle.
Even the, I believe the Night Collider is now having it as well, which is where you change your PFP
from one to another within the NFT.
So back in 2022, we did something very similar,
but the difference was we didn't decide
to put a secondary PFP in our NFT,
we decided to gamify it.
So what we did is we created this thing called a locker
and it's attached to the lore.
And we created this locker that allowed us
to be able to activate experiences for our community.
As in, it didn't really affect metadata.
It wasn't something that anybody in our community had to go and claim, burn, do anything with.
All it came down to was us communicating and showing the metadata changes.
So what we did is, with this locker experience, we had four cubbies that were empty.
And every time there was an item that was added to the locker, it created the experience.
As in, I'll give you an example, grateful.
We put a flashlight in one of the first locker cubbies,
and that was for across the whole entire collection.
That signified three things.
Number one, it signified the movement and the lore.
As in our story, these kids go from this town,
which is all kids with adults,
and these kids go journey to a factory where one of the kids is captured,
the main character, and only the kids can see this factory
and all these robots, which you now know today as robots.
As they venture through the forest, they need a flashlight
because they're going through the dark.
So again, this flashlight implies part of the lore.
The flashlight also implies we did a background change,
so all the background changes were changed to a forest scene
as part of the lore integration.
But we also at that point signified a gamification,
which is we created this crossword puzzle
that everybody in the community could play.
And so what happened was as soon as that item
was in the locker, we created this crossword puzzle
with all the names and ideas around the lore.
We're the first person to solve it, won a prize from us. So those were the type of concepts we built back in 2022,
which we felt like,
how do we keep audiences interactive, engaged?
And this was one of the ways to do it.
In addition to that, what we did was,
we also did a overlay on top of the NFT.
So what we did is we picked 100 NFTs in the collection
and we added an actual overlay on top of the NFTs.
So we randomly picked 100 tokens, we put an overlay, we put into the metadata.
Those 100, which was part of the lore, again, we said were missing.
And those kids that went missing, we went into our Discord, created a role called the 100 Games.
And in that, the 100 Games was these 100 tokens that got to play and compete over a 30-day period.
And basically get, and this was not a burn
function this was just basically a play in discord game where every day everybody competed through
different mechanics or at the end of the result of that game somebody won a prize because they
were the last kid found so basically again we created some type of gamified aspect just behind
the digital asset without doing anything in addition this is 2022
bare bones um but anyways fast forward to obviously 23 we launched robots which was our
second collection our second chapter and again i've been very clear from the start um let me see
if he's back down there i know he rugged a bit just so you know um like this is back down there
but anyways um we've always said from the start, number one is we're an incorporated brand.
We are not just an NFT project.
We are incorporated in Canada.
We're fully doxxed.
We have lawyers that complement our brand
in terms of we have IP lawyer to crypto lawyer
to operational lawyers.
We have lawyers in place.
For any time we need to call on them
for anything we make in terms of decisions,
just like a real business would.
I know people don't like hearing the word roadmap or business plan but we've always
set this out to be a brand that's built as a business so we've always had a five-year planning
strategy we're now going into year three on november but we've always set this out to be
a five-year plan where we disclose basically everything so this is chapter two coming up
which we just started making two weeks ago that That is part of a five chapter lore.
And that's important to note because at the end of the day, we've always
said to everybody, you don't have to mint every project.
If you feel like we're taking away from liquidity or we're creating
too much supply, that's understandable.
But we always said from day one, here's our roadmap.
Here's our business plan.
You push the button that's on you.
But we wanted to be very transparent on like the
mechanics what we're building how the future looks and i know a lot of people were scared of this
so-called roadmap or business plan that lasted five years we obviously all know the attention
span of most people but we've always stuck to our guns right so um i'm gonna stop right there
lycos is backup i don't know if you want to add anything to that. Yeah, man, I want to add one thing. I just minted
one more and my approach on Ape Chain is, guys, because I know you've been putting so much energy,
like a lot of you, and if I know you and I know that you're legit, I don't look much what you're
doing. I'm just minting to support you because I know how hard it is to mint out, right? That's first thing.
And actually to build something reasonable.
So if I know you and I can afford it, I'm buying, you know, it's like that PumpFun or
I don't know, OnlyFans.
I don't know how you call that, right?
To support you.
Maybe not OnlyFans, right?
But I don't know how these subscriptions, like how you called it, but you know, to support
you on your journey
because it's crazy.
You've been working so hard in this space
and this is like 18 ApeCoin, right?
So, or how much is that?
Yeah, $10.
So that's how I approach that.
So if you are minting something and I know you,
just hit me up because it's very hard
to actually track everything,
what's happening in the space. I'm trying my best, of course, but there are many projects that I miss
just because I don't know about them. And I believe a lot of people is the same, right? So
I absolutely love it that we need projects from people that are passionate about Ape Chain,
Ape Coin, and this space in general, right? Like we need people like that.
That's why when I see or when I hear AlphaDGN or Showbiz here,
they're so excited about it, right?
Like you can hear it in their voices and I can hear it also in your voice, guys.
Hype and Lycos.
So yeah, I love it. Love it.
Yeah. And so Lycos, did you want to add anything to this?
Because I'm going to just move on to kind of robots and where our current plan is in terms of where we're at
and why our mint is so low in terms of pricing
and why the supply is so small, even though the collection is 7,500.
Guys, I will add, as you mentioned, there's 7,500.
So, 7,500 NFTs and 6,577 is minted.
So, we are almost there.
And talking about interactions, guys, swipe all the way to the right.
You can claim the other, damn, open page badge.
Yeah, I'll have to learn the name again.
So it's an open page right now, not other page.
And claim the badge because we are giving away 158 going to five
of you. So it's going to be 30 per person. And the code is ape fest. It's easy. So you
can go to OP like, I don't know what so OP dot XYZ slash claim. And the code is ape fest.
It's it's straightforward. I know there are just like 33 claimed and we had like 70 people here, so
mistake was made probably. I should share it more often during the space, but do it, claim it, and
before we end the space, I'm going to pick five of you and I'll shut up here. Tino, go ahead.
Also guys, I pinned to the top the world of things that Hype uh is talking about uh together with lycos so so make sure to
check it out uh support them and i think it's about to to be finished very soon so you guys uh
hypo or lycos uh wherever you want to take it go ahead appreciate it go ahead like us real quick
i don't hear like those guys probably rugging again oh my god damn Lycos hype can you hear oh
shit I don't even hear hype okay I cannot hear them either okay they step down or like us. Yeah.
Let's see.
Let's see what happened.
Man.
I think they're just claiming the other page.
And if you're doing it on a cell phone, it just gets you away from the space.
Or I don't know.
Hold on.
Oh, that was the end of the video we got you amazing okay uh yeah no i just wanted to
say that when hype and i got first got together again with his web 3 focus and and my uh traditional
background web 2 we wanted this as a traditional, legitimate organization company.
Again, both Hype and I come from a corporate background.
So we knew that we wanted to incorporate, again, just to legitimize ourselves.
And as we build this brand within Web3 and Web2, again, authenticity, I mean, I appreciate what you said, grateful.
You know, it's something that we're very passionate about.
Both Hype and I are parents. We both have daughters. And again,
legacy is something certainly that we look forward to in the future.
And yeah, as Hype said, I mean, we're fully doxxed.
You can certainly find me on LinkedIn. That's why I primarily play.
And then obviously everyone here knows Hype. So I'll give the mic back to Hype
and appreciate the time guys and,
and, and the, the, the collaboration.
Man, I got kicked out of this world. Jesus, what happened? I'm back.
I'm back. Wow. I don't know what happened. Grateful. I think, you know,
you said OP and then it just kicked me OP out. Not OPP, just OP.
Yeah. As you guys can hear me,'re good um yeah so as mentioned you know we
we uh we we took a long journey from from when we started to obviously our migration into into
a chain so i was fortunate enough back in you know early january february to start considering
like our move to a different chain and only because we had a lot of game mechanics involved in our collection uh first collection and obviously moving on to robots our
second chapter and so one of the decisions we did make at the time which kind of is ironic in a way
that we're talking about this yesterday but one of our our concepts around moving was to Solano
um main reason why was because obviously gas was cheaper and so we had heavily considered that
for several months before that but you know a few of our community members you know were talking
about Ape Chain they they said that you know it's a great community of people that were building
building real real value and a lot of cross-community collaborations between founders
and communities and so I took a hard look for about a month and finally decided to start integrating myself
into the community.
And in March was kind of my first entry onto Ape Chain,
starting to go to spaces.
A lot of the people that were on Ape Chain,
I didn't know previously,
but really just kind of acclimating myself
and really getting to know people.
And so my first approach to this
was just not come in and throttle people
with this idea of like, hey, we got a mint, we got a project, this and that. I just wanted to get to know people and so my first approach to this was just not come in and throttle people with this idea of like hey we got a man we got a project this and that i just wanted to get to know people
that's always been my approach that's the way i do my spaces is just to get to know people and
just have fun and build that trust and so we we we were still thinking at that time but uh we made
a decision in may uh to move our first chapter bgg BGG over and migrate our whole entire collection over
from ETH over to Ape Chain.
We had the support of Lord Vader and his dev from Fiends to help us do the migration.
It was a very smooth transaction, transition.
And so that was the move for our first chapter.
And I think a lot of people that were a part of our community that still support us were
happy with that because they were already starting to get integrated into Ape Chaining with other communities.
So that was a great move.
And then obviously, you know, more recently, we started socializing our robots.
And again, up until about a month ago, nobody really knew that I had a project.
They just knew hype was in spaces, having fun and getting to meet people, which is the way I kind of wanted it to be, right?
I mean, I know Reed always bugs me,
like, yo, hype,
you got to talk more about your project.
You got to be out there, man.
But to me, that's just,
it's just my approach, right?
I just, I want to build the relationships first.
I want to build the trust.
I want to build the relationships.
I want to get to know people.
I want people to know me as me first
before they put any type of trust and foundation
into what I'm building.
And so, again, we we decided to do our mint and migration so for those that don't know uh we we migrated
we migrated about 5600 pieces from eth over to a chain and then literally right after we started
the mint so that was i'm not going to claim it going to claim it's the first because it's not really important that it's the first,
but to do a migration, shout out Bliver.
And then to do this Mint was very, very challenging,
but they were able to accomplish it.
So again, we started our second chapter, Mint,
back on August 25th.
We've been fully supported by this community.
So thank you so much.
Again, thanks to other page and
ape games for supporting us to be able to give us a a tool to drive us to be able to give new
community members opportunities to get in whether free or an 18 ape um you know so i want to thank
everybody there first and foremost i want to not take too much more time because i know we got rock
my boy on stage as well another aqua but i just want to say like look we have a lot of things planned. I do have a lot of spaces that do talk around
what we're bringing forward. And I could talk for hours with Grateful. And I know Grateful
can talk for hours himself on everything. But I just want to say like, we have a lot of things
that we're building. And I know that's always talked about. We're building a lot more stuff
to come in the future, blah, blah, blah blah everybody says that it's true um but number
one is as you guys know i spent a lot of time on these spaces that's not going to change it's never
changed so my commitment to ape chain and me holding spaces for the complete community not
just us has always been evident and proof number two is you know i said before like i'm not focused
on a fast mint i'm focused on a growing community.
So if you're part of our community and you're here just as a, what I call transient, you're here to stop by, you're part of other communities that you're heavily focused on, I'm okay
with that.
Just join our ecosystem, be a part of it to see what hype has to build.
And, you know, again, take that leap of faith at free or 18-8 one time and let me build
and I'll show you the proof.
The last piece
to this is I have spaces Tuesday night
every week. It's called Triple Tings
Tuesday. I usually run it for two, three hours.
I've been pushing it earlier more
recently because I know there's a lot of people on the East Coast that have never
really got a chance to hear what we're building.
But I just want people to come through and listen
into what we have to offer. I mean,
besides obviously the stuff we're going to build
with Metaverses, we obviously have other side that I mean, besides obviously the stuff we're going to build with metaverses,
we obviously have other side that I'm heavily going to be involved
in building my own stuff.
There's another one called Income Island,
which we're building more of a business-focused
metaverse with our headquarters.
We're obviously working closely
with building stuff for Nifty.
That is the gameplay stuff we're doing for metaverse.
We have other stuff we're deploying
within the NFT ecosystem
to bring back loyalty to our holders through obviously some passive stuff, through some royalty stuff, through some, obviously, things we're building IP-wise outside of Web3 with Lycos focusing on the Web2 IP stuff.
And then lastly, and just one of the things I said on Ape Game Space yesterday and even the day before and even last week.
yesterday and even the day before and even last week
my goal here with ape games and the reason i'm pushing so hard for us to be
yes the underdogs to maybe potentially get a chance to win is to prove to you guys that it
doesn't matter if it's just about the project the point is for me and lycos and specifically me and
web3 to push forward and build no matter what. No matter what the challenge is. If it's Ape Games, if it's us going on the other side,
if it's us going on a grateful space, if it's us doing anything,
my goal is to come every day and push for this brand to be the best it can be
because we know, myself and Lycos, of course, we know the potential.
We're just trying to get that potential out to people to see what we can build.
And again, it's not building empty promises because, again,
if you got a free mint, your value to me and Lycos is exactly the same as if you spend 18-8 or if you
have 200 or 300 or 400 of the NFTs, that doesn't change anything. So I'll continue to build. Once
we mint out, I'll still be here the next day. The next day after that, I'll still be working with
the boys with other games to provide you additional value. And yeah, I just, I mean,
again, I can go on forever grateful,
so I'll stop right there.
I'm starting to sound like Alpha.
I got to land my plane a bit.
But yeah, the Mint's at about 88%.
You know, we have obviously at the end of the Mint,
we have four giveaways of 500 A Beach
for anybody that's minted.
We still have two legendaries in the mix.
One legendary outside of the Mint will be raffled.
That our boy jabral
who's part of our team now and you know jabral very well grateful uh we brought on jabral as
one of our artists to the team he's going to be doing a one-on-one piece based on a robot and
he'll be he'll be theming it to you so grateful if you win a legendary we can make it a beautiful
pink robot oh man i i i think i already won that one so i'm sorry uh it already happened so thank
you so much i can't wait for that piece guys so I'm sorry. It already happened. So thank you so much.
I can't wait for that piece, guys.
We will have four legendaries left, not three.
And Grateful will have a legendary in the mix.
And it will be an Aquamarine.
I really hope it's got to be peace and not peace like in that clip before, man.
Aqua, aqua.
No, I appreciate everything, man.
Like I said, you know, i've gotten a chance to know grateful
over the last couple couple months and couple weeks um i i know he's been one of the legends
in the space in terms of holding spaces and before i became a mutant um i always idolized
grateful as being one of the best folks in the space to look up to and i was i was afraid to be
in a space with grateful let alone be on a stage um again one of the reasons I bought an Aquamarine is because I believe in the Aquamarines.
I bought a merch hat because of guys like Showbiz.
And so, you know, at the end of the day,
I want to say thank you to the club,
obviously for, you know, integrating me
and building relationships with me.
But ultimately, at the end of the day,
I want to just thank Ape Chain
for allowing us to be a part of this
and build our brand through Ape Chain
and be diehard Ape Chain enthusiasts and continually build and have your trust.
That's it.
Like us, I don't know if you have anything left to say before we land our planes.
No, I'm just echoing everything you said.
Again, I'm new to the community and the Ape Chain group.
And again, from everything hype says, we're in the right place.
So we're just very thankful.
Yeah, grateful.
I'm going to post one more thing up.
A lot of community members have come forward and done some artwork for us.
But I want to highlight Marathon Crypto, who put out a small, like,
one-and-a-half-minute AI version clip of our first chapter,
which really showcases the potential for our IP.
Again, I know Lycos alluded to things
like Warner Brothers and Paramount.
We've had conversations in the past
with some studios in terms of conversation with them.
We truly believe,
I know everybody talks about the IPs
like Bored Apes and Pudgy
and their growth and their potential
outside of Web3.
Let's look at taking a chance
on a small IP like ours,
which is a very small segment, which is children focused, which if you do the research, it's look at taking a chance on a small IP like ours, which is a very small segment,
which is children focused, which if you do the research, it's a billion dollar industry.
And I put this on a post last week. It's a billion dollar industry. If we take 0.05%,
which is a very small percent of that industry, IRL, that's over a hundred million dollars in
revenue. And that's at a 0.05.05 so again we believe that our brand has potential
to be sticky in web 3 we also believe our ip has potential to be very sticky in web 2 because if
you look at the time phase of our ip and where it fits in early 90s early 2000 there's nothing
really in that genre in web 2 right now that's sticky but if you look across all web 3 there's
nothing that's ip focus like ours that reminds you of a Ben 10, Teen Titan
Hunter Puff Girls that really is sticky
that way from a lore and
visual IP purpose so I'm gonna
pin it up and then I'm gonna shut up and give it over to you
and obviously Tino and thank you both and then give it over
to my boy Rock
I have one more question man
so I minted
another one today, what can I do
with the NFT right now?
Or are we waiting till it's minted out and then the show starts?
There is definitely things you can do now.
I mean, we have, again, these are just more what I call perks.
I don't ever see you till you-
Or as a new minter, you know, because man, I'll tell you one thing I'm dealing with.
I'm minting so many NFTs that I somehow forgot to interact with the communities, right?
So what should I do right now?
I mint it.
What are the next steps for me to actually, you know, have fun and enjoy the community?
We're going back to, again, again, this is Perks.
We're going back to bingos on Wednesday nights starting in October.
So every Wednesday we have bingo with our community. We also have poker nights on Saturday
with everybody that's involved in our community. I know it's a different time zone for you,
grateful, but we do have poker nights on Saturday through club GG where you can earn points. We do
have this one thing right now. And I know a lot of people in this room and a lot of people on X
don't like to fully engage on every project and spam the timeline. We are using drip. Um, like a lot of communities are using drip. Um, but in
our discord, we have our drip system where basically, um, as you engage and earn points,
we have this one thing called the watt MVP card. There's only 50 available. If you get 50,000
points as a perk, you can cash that in for a Watt MVP card.
That MVP card gives you 10% of every single mint we do as an incentive.
So almost like Grateful is an affiliate for us supporting our brand.
By getting one of those 50 cards, he will earn 10% of all of our mints from now until we are completely done with any collection we've done.
So it's not just a today opportunity.
It's a future opportunity as well.
So this is a commitment from me and Lycos that we pour 10% back to those that are heavily supporting us through getting one of these cards.
There's only 44 left.
And I've always strongly advised those that are new.
All you got to do is go on our timeline three times a day and just promote us just like you would anyways. And so this is an opportunity to get in our discord,
get into using drip, which I know a lot of you guys know what that is. It's like engage
three times a day, earn those points, 50,000 points. Seems like a lot. It really takes you
like a month and a month and a half, but even though it's a month, month and a half, and let's
say we meant out, we've always put aside the 10%. We will always month and a half but even though it's a month month and a half and let's say we meant out we've always put aside the 10 we will always put aside the 10 even though it takes
you a little longer to get the card so that's just one activation grateful you can do now
besides that bingo poker there's a lot coming literally a week or two after we meant out
that i'm not going to talk about today but it's already ready to go let's go bro i'm into another one
and guys i'm going to give this one away uh so we're gonna pick six badge holders or claimers
or how you want to call it and five of them will win 38 coin and six one will win the nft so
yeah appreciate you brother and i did post up to the top guys marathon cryptos minute and a
half video it is using basically some of the ip from our first chapter it does introduce some of
chapter two which is robots grateful and i know you said that the naming convention sounds off
but when you understand why we called it rogue bots you'll understand the lore as we move on
to the future because these robots do go rogue and there is a purpose to them so um if you like lore if you like storytelling definitely it's it's implied
that there is reasons why these names are the way they are but if you take a look at the the video
real quickly which again marathon crypto based it off of kind of me talking to him a little bit about
the lore uh you'll get you'll get an understanding and if you look at the video guys just look at the
potential for the ip being on a show that's all i'm gonna say but i appreciate you brother and i appreciate you tino
thank you guys amazing guys good luck thank you so much for joining us it was a blast it was crazy
uh definitely guys check them out there on stage so you can click on their pfp follow them and check
what they are doing uh minting on Blether, which is probably the easiest way
how to mint NFTs on ApeChain.
So love it, love it.
Yeah, and can't wait to see you in other games
and can't wait to see you congratulating me
for winning another games.
So love that.
Thank you so much, guys.
Also, we have 40 badges or 39 badges claimed
and we have like 80 people here.
I don't know what's going on, guys.
Like we are giving free money away.
Claim the badge, op.xyz slash claim
and code is apefest.
Code is apefest.
So go there right now.
Don't wait because I'll be picking winners
in like 30 something minutes.
And if you're not gonna claim by then,
you can win.
So it's easy, right?
Let's fucking go. Tino, anything from your side
before we say hi to the legend? Legends. No, bro. I'm always excited when somebody's kind of
bringing their skills from web to world into our web 3 world that always gets me pumped up
when somebody knows what they're talking about and uh yeah man i'm i'm super pumped up and i'm super pumped up to talk to roxol who is one of my most favorite people in the space and i was
lucky enough to receive a package from him uh in which uh my colleague comes and he goes bro you started graffiti or something again
after 20 years because the sprays were you know the the sound of spray cans was there and it was
a package from the us with the beautiful cans of grateful ape and infitorium inside so what's up
rock soul welcome where's my camera? Where's my camera? Yo
GM GM, where's that can
I paid bro
No guys like yeah, it means a lot man, honestly like we were working on the cans
I still got a few more I got to send your guys way
Yeah, man, first off like thank you guys for having me in the wife here Christy love
Christy super happy to have you here to
Beautiful pfps guys. I absolutely love them incredible and the backgrounds right like
So beautiful man Russell have me mad. Actually actually I'm not 100% sure because I remember
In in Miami, it was our Basel 2022 you created that art in the
Damn, what was the name of the event man?
Other block we worked with other block other block. That was so good man. That was so good
I'm not too sure that
was a really crazy ass time for us like that was so like we got into the space in 2021 and um you
know we threw some you know art activations and done a lot of stuff like to help onboard people
into the space and also like to pay homage to the apes because we pretty much became full-time
artists um because of web3 and um when we did other block uh that was a collaboration with uh
me my wife uh peter and swicky yeah and um bro that was like the first time that i think we were
able to throw something where we we have like board Ape IP, like before Made by Apes and a lot of stuff.
And, you know, we weren't apes at the time, but we were like integral to the community because of the arts and the culture stuff that we like implemented behind the scenes.
My wife, Christy Love, she documented and filmed the whole event. So when you look at
that recap, that's all her footage, everything that, you know, just stuff that we put in from
working at nonprofit organizations, being part of different hip hop events here in South Florida
since 2007. And yeah, obviously like Art Basel. But the crazy shit about that, bro, is like all the apes from all over the world coming down to Miami, like going to that venue, seeing the mural, the founders, like being there.
Like, I think that was one of the last times Gordon was there, you know, and just like art, music and culture and IP.
you know, and just like art, music, and culture, and IP.
Like, it was just like a very simple formula that we kind of like cooked up,
and it was definitely a proud moment for us because, like,
I used to throw parties like that back in the days.
I used to call them, like, Rockfest and all types of different names,
of different names and it used to be just my house i would take out all my furniture i would
and it used to be just my house.
I would take out all my furniture.
put masonite wood on the floor and um i would have break dancers battling and we would have a live
band outside and a giant graffiti wall and you know my father would be on the barbecue like real
underground house party hip-hop shit like the youino like like your spot like the studio where everything type
shit like that and and it was it was just a beautiful thing man too and that was at the
house that was back then like in 2011 2012 and web 3 came around and then we threw that event
and i'm i'm telling you like a lot of times when i throw events i take a step back i go to the
corner of where everything's happening.
And I look at everything all come together.
And I'm like, wow, like, this is like Web3 IP.
This is Tino.
Like you said, this is culture, you know.
And, you know, you get taken aback from it.
And, you know, it's just it's been an honor to be not only a part of the community, but to create art for you guys.
And we're celebrating, man. We're celebrating Rock Soul Certified.
I love that, man.
So what is Rock Soul Certified, if we can start right off the bat?
So Rock Soul Certify is a curated 500 background collection that we are dropping on Ape Chain on Blubber September 19th for 38 Ape at 12 p.m. EST.
And essentially what it is is a celebration of the four years that we've been in the Web3 space.
So I came up as a digital and physical artist.
A lot of people didn't know who I was at the time.
In 2021, I started doing backgrounds for the Bored Apes in a Discord.
And from there, I did 16 canvases.
After that event in Basel, I asked the i go hey is it okay if i do this full time and she gave me the green light she gave me the thumbs
up she's like you can do it it's full time now so i quit my telemarketing job i was in a small
studio efficiency filled up with canvases from all different apes from all walks of life so literally my studio
efficiency uh was filled to the t and we just we dove into web 3 and um what i started doing is
going into spaces doing backgrounds for people um just donating like my time sweat equity um you
know and the wifey christy, she's been a witness to all
this. We've been documenting everything. So everything you guys seen us do since 2021 has
been documented from the murals to the canvases to the IRL events. So you're really seeing things
from our perspective and our lens and what the project represents is the four years.
And what the project represents is the four years. And yeah, we wanted it to be 500 one-of-one backgrounds that people can print out. They can make stickers. This is stuff for them to hang up in celebration of that. And it's just the beginning. It's just the beginning of that so it is an art project we're starting off with the art because that's how we came we came up and um we're just you know reverse engineering the the process of you know a lot of
people want to put out pfp projects and i and we think you know all that all that stuff still works
and it's still a beautiful thing but we needed to do something that was more like to our roots
and to the people that supported us i love it man and i'll have to i'll have to
check my photo library and i think i took photos of probably of you doing the art there so it's
really funny right i'll try to find it and i'll send it to you if it's you there it's gotta be
really cool because man the other block event it was insane and i left and I think Gordon got there in like five minutes after me so I missed
him and the vibes and everything it was it was insane so I'm really grateful that I was able to
actually travel to Miami and enjoy all these things and events because I also met a betteed
there for the first time and we talked about two-way date and he showed me the the the product
and I was like that's amazing and he already talked about a vision for the other side right and now it's it's coming right in three years
and everything takes time it takes time to build a brand it takes time to you know network and and
find new friends in web3 so it just takes time right like everyone thinks that everything is
gonna happen overnight but it really like takes takes time. And I want to say hi to
Christy. Christy, welcome here. Super happy to have you here. How are you doing today?
Hi, I'm doing great. How are you guys doing? Thank you for having us here. We're really excited.
I'm also excited. And we heard a story from Rock Rock from his point of view that he was in telemarketing and that you said, hey, you can go for it. Go for that dream. So how was the journey for you actually?
2008 right so we've been together for a very long time and we have like a a really strong foundation
with each other and a lot of that means that like i saw him from from the beginning right like he
can i can i can i hope in sorry christy i'll share quick funny fact because i see gets being
the audience so basically when you met with rock gets people's born so it's crazy man it's crazy no way that's
crazy gets me man like come on crazy but sorry for interrupting you i just saw gets me there so i had
to i had to open it's okay it feels like yesterday but so it's it's years obviously like it's just
like like time doesn't exist sometimes you know it's like I feel like I feel like it was just yesterday that I met Rock, but it's been a while.
But just to kind of like start off, like I met he wasn't even doing art like that when I met him.
He was doing music and he was a breakdancer, actually.
And he had just started like figuring out graffiti and like learning how to do art in the style that he wanted to do it at, right? So
I was pretty much there from the beginning and really saw how passionate he was about his art,
no matter what art form he was doing. And, you know, as time went on, I really saw him develop
his style and his style really developed the most when he became an art teacher.
And he started teaching kids the music
and art therapy. And I was telling him, you know, like sometimes life will put you in the right
places that are necessary for your growth. And I believe being a teacher really shaped him as a
person and as an artist. He saw how those kids gravitated towards his art. And it was really in
those classrooms where he really found
like his true art style that would shape it to be what you see now with the stained glass graffiti
patterns and like and all the different ways that he's experimented with his art style like if you
see his art from back in the day to now it's it's it's a huge contrast he's really like learned and
grown as an artist and I was there when he first decided,
hey, I'm going to put my art out there. I don't even remember what year it was anymore. It was
like early 2000s. And, you know, I was there when he did his first art table, like where we
rendered at an event. And that was really the moment for me that I saw that his art was meant to have some sort of impact in
this world and um just because I saw how many like people were like really happy to see his art
for the first time right like imagine seeing the rock soul snap back for the first time or the rock
soul patterns for the first time in real life on a canvas where he was just this is like his
introduction right and it and people were
happy to see it and it made them feel something and that's you know I've I've always supported
him as an artist this is just like I saw how passionate he was about it and for me as his
wife his long-term partner everything like I was only going to support him you know and
then web3 came along and I saw all
the crazy vibes going on over here he was I'm telling you he was completely correct there the
house was filled with canvases I had no idea how we're gonna walk in the house the cats were like
didn't know where to go um but that's just who he is when he gets involved in something he wants to give it 110
and he goes for it you know and when he got into web 3 he hit the ground running he created
backgrounds for not just apes but like it started with with that apes in the discord but he really
just created backgrounds for everybody all the communities because you know he wanted people to
have his art and he wanted people to be happy with it. He created canvases, murals, events. And, and yeah, when that moment
for Art Basel 2021, I saw him do all those 16 canvases. He asked me, can I be a full-time
artist? And I was looking at him and I'm telling you, we had just, we had been working in a freezer.
We had been doing telemarketing.
We were doing, there was just like a lot of different chapters that happened, especially after 2020.
And I saw how happy he was to be creating art in his style, even if it is backgrounds behind an ape, you know?
And it made him very happy.
And I was like, let's do it.
You know, we only live once here.
So if this is the moment to see where your art can take you, then this is the moment to see, you know.
And we've learned a lot.
We've thrown events.
We've done murals.
It's been really great.
And it's meant a lot to me to see how many people have loved his backgrounds and loved his art.
And to push him to keep going and not to
give up on it and um you know i'm really excited now we're here we're releasing a project one when
we saw ape chain was live i i looked at him because he had created these patterns throughout the years
right i'm like is it time to release like a personal rock soul original background project you know like with just your
backgrounds that people like already love and he's like yeah and I'm like how many do you have so far
and he's like about 300 and then he just kept going up to 500 that's when he told me like I
think 500 is good it's's curated. It's personal.
It means something, you know.
And he really took his time creating all 500 backgrounds and just to create something special.
So I'm really excited for everyone to see the backgrounds that they get.
And I'm sorry if this was like a super long answer, but I'm very proud of him.
And I'm just I'm grateful that you guys all have
supported him throughout this journey. And it means a lot to me as his wife, but it also, I know it
means a lot to him as an artist because being an artist is hard guys, you know, sometimes, you know,
you don't know if you're going the right path or if people really love your art or whatever it is.
And, you know, I love seeing everybody happy with his patterns.
I love seeing the backgrounds on the PFPs.
I love seeing all of it.
It means a lot.
What an incredible journey.
I love that story that you shared it.
I think it's really important, right, to learn more about us.
And it was incredible.
What a journey, man.
And also, like, you you talking about year like that
you quit your job or that you did you started being like full-time artist in uh 2020 you know
uh it's it's not that far away right like you can you can create such a such a massive changes in
your life uh very quickly which is absolutely insane i I think in Web3, it's even quicker. And you see a lot of
people basically leaving their jobs and following their passion, which is awesome, because you can
see the energy and, you know, everything that you've been doing for the community that
I believe, like, most of the stuff was for free, right? Like you do it because you want to do it,
right? So that's incredible. That's like, we have such a great stage here, right? Like, you do it because you want to do it, right? So, that's incredible.
Like, we have such a great stage here, full of amazing, incredible people, and if you look in the audience, like, you see so many legends there, it's absolutely crazy, crazy. I can't even start
naming you guys, because then you will be pissed if I skip, because there are so many of you,
then you will be pissed if I skip
because there are so many of you
but if you look in the audience
it's incredible so absolutely love that
Tino man
go ahead
what a great journey I actually
remember one of the spaces
and grateful I'm pretty sure you could find
it in your all knowing
Wikipedia of the show when we
had you guys when we
were preparing an event in LA I believe or something like that I think that was the first when we had we had you guys when we were preparing an event in
LA I believe or something like that I think
that was the first show we had together
and that was that was a long time
ago long time ago

oh man I have I'm telling you, it's like a week here. It's like three years, bro. It's crazy out here.
Oh, man.
I have, you are here, man.
Episode 122, March 14, 2023.
I think that was probably maybe or maybe the first time.
Outerblock experience and BYC community episode.
With Peter, Swicky welsh was here baron gene dario oh my god guys it's crazy what a journey together so tell me rock
how can we get is there like a low list or what's the, what's the mechanism behind the mint?
How can we, uh, how can we secure that spot?
This is where the customer service part comes in because so look like this was a small collection.
We, we kind of had to bottleneck it because we wanted to make sure like we were in control of the community that we were curating.
This was a lot of time and effort that we put in.
But I think the Wi-Fi can kind of help explain the mint process of what's going to go down in Blubber.
Yeah, so basically it's the 500 Rock Soul Certified backgrounds.
They're each one of one, all hand curated and everything.
And it's going to be launching on Blubber September 19th at 12th and it will be instant
reveal. People can mint up to three per wallet. And that's pretty much what we're offering. It's
the Rock Soul backgrounds. It's an art project at the end of the day. And it's a curated art collection designed by Roxul.
But if you know Roxul, it's always going to have an extra layer of value.
Just because he always gives back.
We're always going to be creating different art or opportunities and different art experiences that come along.
or opportunities and different art experiences that come along so at the end of the day it's it
is an art project but it also doubles as like an access it's like an access to the rock soul
universe that we're going to be developing with different um art experiences different you know
opportunities to get his art like giveaways things like that um but at the end of the day the bottom
line of this
project is just that it's an art project and that you know it's a curated collection by an artist
i love it i can't wait to mint uh hopefully i will make it in um
a list friend list or something like that uh i'll get i'll get into your DMs Rock you know I sent you feed pics of my ape I hope it works and by the way I just turned on the the
Apple presentation and they just showcased the Miami I was like holy
shit dude what I wonder if we should just like I know what Figgy's been doing
he's been like I listen guys I quit my nine-to-five job to be a full-time
artist and also to twerk on other side
So like I wonder if I should give out one white list to everyone who goes to other side twerks
You know like to one person right now. I don't know
Yeah, so should they start doing like a line leader thing like the conga line but I'm twerking
Hmm, I think they should start doing that
we'll pick someone
we need it for the honor and the glory
let's go
I'm just loading the stream here on Mac
I don't have a client here
because I don't install anything here on this computer
100% guys if you have a computer
that you can install stuff
get a client.
Client is so much better on PC.
I love it.
I love my PC because it's disconnected from my crypto world.
So I can do whatever I want.
And if you hack me there, nothing can happen.
So I love it.
But I'm going also to other side, guys.
Create a line by the pond and we can twerk and you can get the alol get a you can get a the alolist man but it's
gotta be i can't wait it's in 10 days so we still have some time uh if you if you want to learn more
what's the best way if you want to learn more about a mint rock uh yes so uh we have a pin post
on my profile that kind of describes the whole collection.
We're curating a chat.
So right now we're like bringing in people little by little.
But yeah, if you go to our pin posts on my page or my account,
you could see like pretty much the description of what the project is.
If anyone has any questions, like feel free to, you can message me or Christine.
We'll be more than happy to help you guys out. And yeah, we're just handpicking people because again, we want to make sure that
we do the best that we can to give back to everyone that's been supporting us for the past
four years. Again, it's been really overwhelming the load that we've been getting because
we've kind of been like, you know, heads down, focused, putting out product, putting out work, giving back to different communities.
And it's different when you create the chat and everyone's like, hey, like they're helping push, they're helping promote.
And like we are not influencers, we're not paying anyone, we're not using bots.
not influencers. We're not paying anyone. We're not using bots. This is strictly off the strength
of the art. And it's a very definitive message of that art is culture and it does have intrinsic
value. And, uh, yeah, we're just, we're super honored guys. Like we're super honored. So yeah,
pin posts on my page, uh, check out the details. Uh, we're bringing in people little by little in
the chat. And then this is just the beginning.
Like I said, this is art to create more art. And who knows, we'll collaborate with different
communities. We'll make it interactive experiences. The wifey's documenting. So everything that you
see is part of the history that we've already established since 2021
And if I could I could I would do a backflip in my room, but I don't know how to do a backflip
But I just want to say don't do it man. Don't do it
I saw so many of these like fail compilations videos some people that had a great idea to do backflip man and it didn't end up well
But when I see you guys in 8th class, I'm giving you guys a hug. I'm just saying,
just be ready.
Yeah, man.
You,
it might,
you know,
I might hear your voice and you might see someone hug you and grab your chest and it might
be a tight hug.
Pause.
But,
Tino,
you too,
bro.
I haven't,
I don't know what you look like grateful,
but I,
I hear your voice.
So if I hear your voice,
I'm like a magnet or like a moth to a flame.
I'm running. I'm going towards you. Bro if I hear your voice, I'm like a magnet or like a moth to a flame. I'm running
I'm going towards you
I'm not dogs man, but I was walking in in Paris during get empty Paris
And I was talking to my friend on phone and and few people stopped me and hey, are you grateful? I was like fuck
How do you know you are my first like come on? So?
Yeah, I'm dogs by the by the voice
Can't wait to see you in Vegas.
We'll get into your DMs and send you the wallet.
I hope I make it on the list.
Also, I'm in the other side twerking by the pond, guys.
So, yeah, if you are there, go there, check it out.
It's beautiful there.
I also see Figgy there.
We're going to have Bubble on Friday.
Yeah, Christy, I saw you on mute go ahead oh yeah i wanted to add um to roxel's uh information so another way to find out
more about the project is to just go on our website uh roxelmiami.com which is linked in
his bio somewhere we created a whole faq page um how to get ape coin how to fund your
wallet how to um all the all the little details that you guys need to know like what the project
is about and um how many backgrounds they come in and everything it's all in our um my cats are
going crazy sorry if you heard that uh but basically it's all on the website let's go
let's go
can't wait to mint, I love minting
I have to mint NFT a day
if I mint NFT a day, I'm happy
and as you mentioned, it's crazy
back in the day, you wanted to support someone
and you minted each NFT
and basically you gave like $25
to Chain, right, just for gas
so I love Ape Chain and
any chain that has like Ape Chain especially, but if you have chains that have lower gas fees,
it's amazing. So I love it. Can't wait to Mintman and Christie and it's going to be fun. It's going
to be dope. And yeah, we definitely share it also in 10 days.
It's, is that a Friday?
I think it's a Friday.
Yeah, it's going to be on a Friday.
It's not this Friday, but next Friday.
Is it Friday 13th or no?
We did it on the 19th, but that would be lit, I guess.
I don't know.
Okay, it's Friday.
So on Thursday next week, we're going to share it.
We're going to chill here also, guys.
So you're not going to forget about it.
And one more thing and probably last announcement.
I'm talking alone in the other side, but it's okay.
Damn, let me quickly find a badge i have so many tops here but guys claim
the badge it's a op like uh like otter or is there any better word starting with o like open c uh
or open page so it's o p like peter op dot xyz slash claim and the code is apefest or you can swipe
and find the pin tweet
and the code is apefest
so definitely check it out
we have 56 claimed so the chances
of winning are quite good
I'm not the best in math
so I'm not gonna say the odds
but it's quite good so
claim it I think we have like 10 more minutes
before I pick the winners.
So you still have some time.
And Tino, man, go ahead.
I always try to surprise Tino, you know,
I don't know.
I never, it's like, it's like,
it was the movie I talked about it yesterday.
Is that a wedding crashers probably
like Will Ferrell is talking about his mother
and he's like,
I never know what she's doing up there.
Right. And then he asked her for a meatloaf. So yeah.
Yeah. You were talking about twerking, so I'm twerking here in the room as well,
but I don't know what's happening. I'm kidding. I'm not actually. So Roxo, maybe you're also
doing quite a lot of projects. I follow you on Instagram and I see you doing a lot of murals,
collaborating with big brands like Verizon and stuff like that.
So how is it right now for you,
Web 2 versus Web 3 kind of art and your projects there?
Yo, first off, I'm trying to get this badge broke.
I'm logging in with my legend real quick,
so I can get this badge.
But second off, no, Web2 brands that we've been working with, it's been dope.
A lot of red tape.
So we have to have, like, a lot of, you know, patience with them. But they come to us from, like, a consulting standpoint where they're like, hey, we want to, you know, create a mural to highlight the communities and the cultures here in Miami and South Florida.
How can we do that?
And then me and the wifey, we kind of like, you know, we walk around the house.
We brainstorm.
Like we have meetings with people that are pretty high ranking in these Web2 companies.
But they and it's funny because they see us as like a power couple.
So it's different. Like there's the corporate side of people that work in Web2.
And then there's like us that we have like our own IRL mural business.
And our you know, our house is filled with artwork like it's filled with apes.
So we're having big meetings with Verizon, with other Web2 brands.
And they're looking at the Web3 content behind us.
And it's dope. It's really dope. They're really intrigued and interested in the space.
But it is about tangible results. And I think now we're in the perfect place to do that,
because the one thing I am going to say is there's a lot of project leaders and teams that are, you know, that have their deliverables.
And, you know, you can call them KPIs, whatever.
There's a corporate talk, you know what I'm saying?
But it's really just, hey, we're kickstarting, we're releasing stuff and we have deliverables and here's the proof of concept and the proof of work.
And they've've the companies
that we worked with and web 2 are already seeing that and now you know they'll probably gravitate
in web 3 because it just really because of the pro a lot of projects on ape chain have proof of
work and they're doing deliverables and those are like tangible results you know uh but without
giving up too much alpha but that i do believe
that that's where we're going and then obviously like you guys know project rate is is on a whole
nother level like what yuga's doing um with the with solana like like we're already telling people
on that chat like hey if you guys are gonna mint start loading up your your wallet already because
you know we don't know not financial advice but we don't know, not financial advice, but we don't
know where everything's going to go. So let's, you know, keep that in mind, you know? But yeah,
it's been dope. And another thing too is like, because of the content and the work that we did
in Web3, that was our proof of concept for a lot of these meetings in Web2. They didn't like,
people who were trying to figure out about RockSore Project Roadmap, when we had these meetings in web too they didn't like people who were trying to figure out about rock soar project roadmap when we had these meetings were like hey here's what we did for other blog
or here's what we did uh for haritos or here's what we did for doodles or deejant tunes and
stuff like that and they love it you know it's like it's it's like a new language to them because
they didn't know that they could do things like this with art or with music.
And that's why they come to us really just to kind of pick our brains and just make things different, you know.
But, yeah, corporate is very different from Web3.
Web3, we're like, hey, we're going to do this, this, and this.
And then people look at it, you know, on the deck and they're like, let's fucking go.
Let's fucking go.
I know. We crazy, man man I love the energy here also I want to I want to share one thing I see defiance if I if I pronounce it correctly twerking next to
me in the other side and defines oh you already have blunt so I'm not gonna
probably give you another one so if anyone want blunt uh i have two so i have one spare blunt uh so join me in the other side and uh
i'll give you blunt there sounds great right uh guys i absolutely love what you said i love the
story i love how you ended up in web 3 and what you've been doing so can't wait to mint
oh some mf is joining me and trying to get some...
Oh man, we have five people twerking the other side.
It's wild.
And that's why I probably love hosting spaces
because you can connect with people on another level, right?
It's not just like text.
It's their emotions, bubbles,
and other side is another level.
And I believe you're gonna also
cook something in the other
side so can't wait for that but
let's mint it out also
let's mint the collection can't wait to
get one and support you guys
and can't wait to see you in Vegas it's gonna
be a banger so let's fucking go guys
let's go no guys like it really means
a lot everyone here that's you know been
supporting us since 2021
like you know the work has not gone on notice and and you guys really showed that like we've
we've yeah we've we definitely donated like we've definitely got commissioned out to do art and to
do murals but our our main thing is like to always like give back in some way shape or form and the
the love has been unreal not only for me me, but also for the wifey.
Like, yeah, we've done a lot here, and we feel like this was the perfect time to do it.
And now we're finally going to Ape Fest, which is crazy. We're going to see all you guys,
and it's dope, man. It's just dope. It's a beautiful thing. It's almost the same week
when we're on Bubbles and other side, like there's like it's it's very eclectic what all these different communities and everyone coming together and supporting each other.
And we're not going anywhere, guys. We've been here since 2021.
We plan on being here for years and just putting out art and putting out content and helping onboard people, you know.
helping onboard people, you know, and I feel like this is a good way, not only for artists to bring
in, you know, new people into the space, but also have deliverables. And, and that's the one thing
that's why we wanted to release the project is to for the art, but also to give back something
unique and different with the experiences. So once again, like, thank you guys so much.
It's an honor, bro. And who knows, bro knows bro might bring some spray cans over there. I might bring some art
You know my it might get different who knows what's going on who knows
Let's fucking go guys so hyped today. We had such a great vibes here. It was incredible
Meanwhile, Garga tweeted about Apecoin going to Solana, BAYC account too.
Meanwhile guard got tweeted about a book going to Solana
I love that actually official accounts can talk about it, right?
I remember after Apecoin released and none of the official accounts actually could talk about it because of the regulatory stuff.
So now it's possible. It's great. I love it.
it's great i love it uh bro it's even more crazy the official accounts and officials from these
Bro, it's even more crazy.
coins are saying that we're bringing apecoin to top 20 coins and i think that's the main difference
that's it's huge i don't i don't think it was uh it was happening before people are excited and
that's it's it's it's wild that uh that uh cam also, the regulation is gone and the fun can begin.
So that's really good.
The vibe is amazing.
And Roxel and Christy, we do appreciate you.
You know that you're more than welcome anytime on the show.
And wishing you all the best luck.
Make sure to stop by also around the mint time so we can support and push it.
And definitely hope to mint not to miss this one because i would be really sad if i miss this one and uh also uh
and also for everybody listening who hasn't claimed uh the badge yet so guys open page aka other page uh the badge is right now live uh check the pin tweet uh i think
probably the first one on the way on all the way to the right and uh the password is ape fest so
go ahead and uh and claim that badge grateful is gonna pick uh uh six of you, actually. Five of you will win ApeCoin,
and one of you will win the World of Things NFT
that he meant during the show.
So, Roxo, Chrissy, is there something that we forgot?
Something how can people reach out?
What can we do to support you right now before the mint?
So, one more time for everybody on the stage, everybody here in the crowd.
Thank you guys once again.

People twerking on the other side.
Grateful.
Grateful you're standing up, though.
I want to see some shaking.
Grateful.
Let's go, man.
Yeah, I think the best way that anyone can support, even if whether they can mint or not, is just if you have a Rock Soul background, share it.
If you see an opportunity when Rock posts something to share about the project or anything like that. That alone speaks volume.
Any kind of support is awesome.
But we're just really excited to have his art on the blockchain,
especially Apechain because Apechain on top.
And yeah, that's it.
Love it, guys.
Good luck.
We're going to support.
