Oh my god, what a crazy day!
Huge announcement yesterday, of course, we've been waiting for that for... For... since... since not for... since the last day first, right?
And it's huge, it's gonna be crazy. I'm the last day fast, right? And it's huge. It's going to be crazy.
I'm a little bit worried, right?
Because I talked to a few people that have been in Vegas recently.
And they were like, guys, you can end up with a face tattoo with a tiger in your bathroom.
You can get up married with someone who you don't even know, right?
So we need to be careful, guys.
We need to protect each other there and really, really be careful. But survived hong kong we survived lisbon we survived nyc we gotta make it uh through
las vegas experience too it's gonna be just crazy guys oh you cannot imagine me oh my god but it's
great because in vegas i saw you can experience europe right like you can experience eiffel tower
so you don't have to travel to paris you can experience venice it's amazing right i i saw that you can pay for like
uh 40 dollars and uh yeah you can you can have some uh really italian experiences there and so
on and so it's gonna be vibe so if any one of you want to join us here on stage hop in we also
gonna be talking about how to not lose your nft, right? And I don't mean like getting hacked,
but I'm talking about maybe paying your subscription for,
I don't know if it was an Amazon web service or IPFS, right?
But Artifact Studio, I don't know, guys,
if you own any, they just disappeared from your wallet.
So yeah, you don't own any JPEGs anymore.
But guys, yeah, let's say hi to my calls.
If you want to join us here on stage,
just request, I'm going to bring you here.
I'm also giving away five Follow the Ape NFT.
So if you reach me to space,
we're going to pick five of you
and you have a chance to win NFT.
And of course, this NFT will have a huge, huge utility
in Las Vegas.
I don't know what it's going to be,
but maybe it's a false promise. Maybe it's something, I don't know what it's gonna be but uh maybe it's a it's a
false promise uh maybe it's something I don't know uh who knows right so uh it's gonna be huge
beast how you doing today oh GM grateful GM everyone here bro I'm excited and I'm ready
I I'm not the one who expect expected like 100% that it's gonna be Vegas but like since yesterday it kind of grows in me
and I'm actually fucking ready so I think it's gonna be amazing right and I think as you mentioned
it's gonna be fucking crazy because even the Lisbon vibe it was about you know the chill
sardines exploring the city right being in Europe but now it feels like the vegas it's like a clear
mission right it feels like it's just like we go nuts bro i don't know if it still works like
in the past but i remember those huge all you can eat buffets in in las vegas right so
we still gotta be eating sardines bro don't worry still still haven't made it in this market,
so we gotta be eating sardines.
I think I start all you can eat, like, 10 a.m.
I'll leave 1 p.m.
so I don't have to eat till the next day.
That's the plan.
But, you know, what's good, bro?
GM, GM, MFers.
All great here.
Beast, I don't know which A-pass you went to,
but we're being grateful.
We landed to Lisbon, and we didn't stop until we were taking the plane back because we were just all over the place all the time.
So I know we were chilled, we were just hanging around.
But yeah.
Yeah, but you guys weren't drinking or going crazy or like not playing casino, right? Not being at parties, were you?
No, we were not.
We're not drinkers.
So that's not going to change in Vegas either.
But we're still going to go wild.
So that's for sure.
As I know, grateful and me.
And well, I know that we won't see you for a while as well because you'll be in all the guest lists.
And I'm doing good.
I'm super excited as well.
I did. I'm not gonna lie i
did see myself uh in hawaii uh or in japan first uh then then hawaii and uh i was still hoping
oh at least miami come on i've never been to bagas i i have to say uh still i was never
planning to that i need to go but this is a a really good way to start or to make my mind.
So let's see what's going to happen in Vegas.
I'm sorry, I can imagine Grateful watching all the Vegas movies.
Did you watch Casino already or Hangover?
What did you watch? Come on.
I saw everything, man. Casino you. Casino, hangover.
But you can practice also
with like good fellas, right?
And stuff like that.
So you know how that shit works.
Whenever some MFR is like,
hey, do you want to go
for a ride into the desert, right?
You have to be like,
no, I'm not going.
You know, I don't like to be
shot in the head
and, you know,
my ledger taking off me.
So yeah, I did some research.
Man, I've been to Vegas a long time ago
and I remember those old hotels, right?
They are even older now, right?
Much older.
But one of them was Excalibur
and I remember it cost like,
it was so crazy cheap
because I think their idea was that
you pay for a cheap room
and then you can spend the rest in the casino, right?
So was it like an exit through the gift store,
like exit through casino,
so all the kids have to go through casino?
Yeah, everyone has to go through casino,
but it's US, bro.
Like even us looking that we are like 60 or 50 years,
60 or 70 years old,
you have to have your ID with you, bro.
Otherwise you are not going anywhere.
So yeah, maybe not Tino,ino but rest of us yeah rest of us yeah they'd be like oh tino like uh okay
i could be cancelled no it's gotta be good man i'll be with you so we can uh we don't have to
wait in lines i'll be oh, that's my grandpa.
Can you let us?
I actually do love this.
This is a good one.
Yeah, but it's true, guys.
Since we joined Crypto,
and it's been four years since BYC started minting,
we are not celebrating yet.
We are not celebrating yet because four years ago,
the job was not finished right we gotta be
celebrating actually next week when job will be finished uh it's gonna be four years since mint
out and it's a i would say it's a huge milestone four years sounds like crazy right right and uh
oh it's gonna be another crazy space but let me quickly check a few things we also say hi to our friends
here Arthur and Pancho and yeah what I mentioned right artifacts cloudflare
bill went unpaid probably today and NFTs went dark it's crazy right like if you
look at a collection they raised how much money oh my god tens of millions
maybe 120 more than 120 million shit man million? I think small, right? Because I don't
even remember how it feels to be in a bull market. But I tweeted yesterday that Luka Doncic,
and I see LA MFRs here in the audience. LA MFRs, congrats, right? I said Luka Doncic reminds me a lot of NFT bull market 2021, 2022,
because that MFR is unstoppable.
It's absolutely insane.
The GM from Dallas who actually traded him,
he really reminded me of you, Beast. I can't help myself, but he reminded me of you so much.
And you know when, bro, when you were flippingored Apes for 0.01 profit,
that's Nico Harrison, guys.
That's Nico Harrison and Beast.
So yeah.
Bro, I was securing all these orange backgrounds around, right?
No, but I remember that one ape that has a black t-shirt
and I was placing the bid.
And I don't remember the exact price but it was
something like 0.5 and I wanted to get it for like 0.45 or something just you know just to have
it a little below and yeah I mean I almost did yeah almost right it's crazy it's crazy but yeah
it's fun uh we all have a lot of shit-talking here, we have to do those
basketball spaces, guys, it's
playoffs, right, we need to do that
shit-talking, we have
Anthony Edwards versus
LA, right, so yeah,
we have to set it up, I know
LA MFers are strong,
and I love Luka, so it's gonna be
a lot of fun, because everyone in
US, guys, I don't know what's
happening with basketball there, but all the best all-star players are coming from Europe, guys,
it's weird, right, and they are not athletic anymore, oh shit, now I'm cancelled, okay, okay,
forget it, forget it, it's not recorded, but I had to say that, right, just for fun, yeah, I see a lot
of people agree here, yeah, it's for sure, right? Like, yeah.
Compare the athleticism of Jokic versus, I don't know, whoever probably.
Grateful, you know what we need?
We need a Johnny Most style voice who was like the definition,
like do you remember when he was doing the voice of the Boston Celtics back in back in the day with red arabach have a check stole the ball have a check stole
you remember that right we need that in the ape community yeah i think so i think so but we we
are putting space together 100 with baron uh maybe nana law whoever loves basketball i see bronchis
actually kobe brand got all his skills in Italy.
So Kobe Bryant was a goat because he actually lived in Italy.
So Brongis and his family probably coached him a little bit
and had pizza together.
But Adar, welcome here.
How are you doing, my NYC friend?
What's good, man?
GM, yo.
So much is going on right now. I wanted to come up say hi uh excited to possibly go to vegas vegas is definitely a crazy crazy crazy place uh too
many people it's kind of like new york um but everyone likes money so i guess we gotta go
um but when it comes down to everything that's going on
it feels like it's a bull market i don't know i'm going crazy uh anxiety's high adrenaline's high
you can't sleep much so it just feels like everything's back in motion and uh following
the wave so appreciate you guys.
Yeah, I don't know.
Things are going crazy here.
I feel that too, guys.
I don't know about you,
but by the way,
I'm trying to get Tim Csik on stage.
It's connecting.
I cannot get him on stage.
I don't know what's going on,
but I also feel it.
I feel everything is getting crazier and crazier.
It's still not like a rush in 2021 when I haven't slept for, or didn't sleep for like,
I don't know, months probably, but we are getting there.
We are getting there.
And it's so exciting to actually celebrate four years of BYC Mint because it was such
a different environment back in the day, right?
It was, it was so different.
I also want to touch a little bit on VFriends because VFriends were probably after NBA Top Shots
one of those projects that onboarded a lot of people
into the Web3, right?
So definitely want to touch on them a little bit.
But yeah, so many things happening.
Also, Gordon tweeted, right?
I have a tweet ready here,
so I'm going to read
it if you missed that uh tino beast what are your feelings about a about a market right now
i feel good i feel i mean we the same as other mentioned it feels like we're getting back
and i kind of like i always like the end of the year so i still as i expected with a with lisbon and then we had
like a little nice hype i hope and expect that the this year will be the same and then once we're in
vegas we're gonna have like a little nice end of the year with a little pump so i would love that
to see again because you guys could see the atmosphere during the Lisbon, right? Everything was pumping and obviously it brings the vibes.
So I hope this is going to happen again.
I hope you're right.
I feel the same.
I mean, I don't know.
We've been talking about it here on the show that it doesn't really matter
because, you know, everybody feels that they have their point.
Oh, we're back. Oh, no, bear is back or the other way around.
And I think it's only Bitcoin knows what's going to happen because Bitcoin is doing its own thing.
And and then the rest of crypto follows.
So I think it's a it's a pretty weird bull market.
Of course, we still hadn't had any idea whether
it's ended or not.
But I think my
kind of feeling still hasn't changed.
I still feel that we have a
big pump ahead. We are definitely
far from over, I think.
And I believe that, of course.
And I hope that also
Beez is right.
Bro, we haven't even started yet.
That's the thing.
The same, I feel the same. Guys, give me thumbs up if you agree.
We haven't even started yet.
Yeah, I see that, right?
We haven't started, bro. This is still
bear market, man. You see the madness.
Bitcoin will be
250k, ApeCoin
barely touching
$50. We are flying private jet to las vegas uh we are spending
it all in the slot machines and um yeah staying there as homeless yeah whale had actually a really
good tweet a few days ago about the total crypto and nft market cups right he tweeted that the total crypto market cap is 2.75 trillion and when we look at nfts just
0.1 percent of the total crypto market cap is nfts just to see how small actually the nft
market is right now and how so much potential is here for us
so much potential is here for us.
Yeah, I see it the same way. I think
NFTs have such
a potential.
In games, in
virtual
or digital identities, right?
So many use cases. You can see
it because you are in this space 24-7.
People outside, they cannot see it yet,
but they will, from everything
that's happening in the space.
There are funny things like Nifty Island.
That's really funny, man.
They added fishing so you can fish in Nifty Island.
I'm going there.
I want to try it because that's really, really funny.
And also I'm digging deeper into Somnia.
All right.
I'm trying to get a team here on show because that's also interesting.
And guys, 100% recommend you reading
Virtual Society book by Herman,
the CEO of Improbable,
because you start thinking about metaverse
and everything that's going to happen
a little bit differently.
And for me, I still love the idea
that really you have a place where even if you step into the snow
the the footstep will be there right it's gonna be there even if you leave or not it might be
recorded on blockchain because somnia is so fast and so scalable that they can track a lot of
things there so it's really interesting on the hand, I was speculating on my timeline a little bit if Somnia will be somehow connected
to the other side and it won't.
Other side will run on Ape Chain.
Actually Dim shared the screenshot from the Discord
that Garga wrote other than dead.
Other side is all on Ape Chain and not on somnia so it's not going
to be on somnia which makes sense because you also probably get some money from from transactions on
ape chain right and we ran a partnership with them for all other side nft holders coda holders
and that's true so if you want to do quest som Somnia is pre-TGE and you have those assets,
you get crazy multiplier.
And I know something about it
because I'm number one on the leaderboard.
It's fucking crazy.
Yeah, I'm number one on the leaderboard
because the multiplier is insane.
It's insane.
You know, I'm cooking there.
I'm cooking there.
So definitely check it out.
It's very simple.
It's easy.
And yeah, why not, right?
I'm trying to explore also open metaverse
and waiting for
other sites, so yeah, definitely check
Somnia
and yeah, one more tweet
and then we say hi to Pancho
and that was a tweet from Gordon
actually
I think he was struggling
a little bit with health
recently and he tweeted that he I think he was struggling a little bit with the health recently.
And he tweeted that he got a little bit better and he hopes that he's going to make it to Las Vegas,
which I think is so much easier for him than flying to Lisbon, right?
So hope to see him there.
I hope he gets better.
And he also mentioned that Garga has been cooking some crazy stuff that we haven't heard of yet. So damn, so many crazy things happening.
I'm so, so extremely bullish on Yuga Apes
and everything that's happening in the space
because the holders' numbers are going up.
Holders' numbers are growing
and you have to build this step by step.
All this huge hype,
it always is followed by a huge dump, right?
So yeah, what do you think, B. Stantino?
I mean, the holders numbers, it's what matters because the club is getting better.
Sorry, better, of course, but bigger.
But people are not buying for speculation.
Like people are not buying because they necessarily want to 2x or 3x or more.
They're buying because they want to be part of that.
They're buying because they want to use the IP,
you know, and create things.
So definitely bullish.
Hell yeah.
Yeah, and Tino was like, fuck you guys.
I'm leaving.
Can he drop out of the stage?
Yeah, he's gone.
He's gone.
He's gone.
No, he probably has some technical difficulties.
Yeah, it's gone. He's gone. No, he probably has some technical difficulties. Yeah, it's true.
I really like to see new members also from Czech and Slovak Apes.
We are constantly onboarding new people here.
And I see all the excitement.
So it's really cool.
It's really cool.
I'm bringing Tino back.
So let's see what happened there.
Tino, you back with us?
Oh, shit, he's not.
Oh, my God.
Yeah. I don't know what's going on there. So let's say hi to Pancho. Pancho, big day for... Oh, he's back. Tino,
you here? I got kicked out just like that. I like, seriously, I just disappeared. I was
a listener right away. That's weird. What happened? I'm surprised because purple background is elite.
Right away.
That's weird.
What's happening?
I'm surprised because purple background is elite.
If you were orange, yeah, that would make sense.
But purple, weird.
100%.
I think I just had a point because, as B said, people are buying not to sell.
I tweeted yesterday, it was 584 mutants listed out of 20k.
303 bored apes listed out of 10k. And 2,000 other dead listed out of 20k 303 board apes listed out of 10k and 2000 other deed listed out
of 100k i think this this is insane i i don't know if you do the math it's really insane all the rest
are holding somehow people are building people every day i see a new mutant or ape becoming a
member of the club and i i feel so bullish about this because uh i guess
also many people who were who have been waiting uh to pull the trigger or were hoping for it uh
that you know like the market gave them the the right occasion to do so to pull the trigger
and i'm so extremely extremely pumped up about getting new members, great people in the club. Also, guys, if you are here in the audience, I see some Apes that might be new that I'm not following.
So if you want, just make sure to request.
We'll welcome you.
We're not welcome Apes, but we're good Apes.
We'll welcome you here as well.
So yeah, but I'm super excited.
Yeah, me too. It's it's open you mentioned other side damn man i think we pumped the floor a little bit by ourselves by mistake
because yeah we've been scouting for for deeds for month maybe right and we are like oh we wait
and we this and that and we talk about it a few times on show and suddenly people started sweeping and now the floor is much higher right and the the ones we're not gonna say which one
we are looking at you know because otherwise someone will buy them and and will be buying
for higher price but yeah other deeds the art is insane right i know we've been looking at it
sending each other look at this one look at that at that. I think it's really cool.
I bought another one yesterday.
I'm happy it's slowly stacking.
But of course, nothing like the guests that we had before here.
It's crazy.
Like 200 or 1,400.
That's a little bit out of my scale.
But yeah, something's happening
there because in the evening I was sending some some bid some some offers
and I was bidding and and in the morning it was somebody sweep the floor and it
was all gone I'm like but yeah of course somebody sweep the floor and it was all gone. I'm like, oh, damn. Bro, of course somebody sweep the floor. You guys never stopped talking about buying more deeds.
I mean, you know, like if you want to buy more, you should keep it silent.
That's true.
Yeah, that's why we are not talking about ApeCoin staking on Apechain, guys.
If you haven't switched from E no rush guys we talked about it
last time uh make us rich make us rich don't bridge to ape chain because the less people bridge
the the you know better yield we'll have so yeah if you haven't bridged keep it on eat uh you know
it's nice feeling to support eat right uh so yeah that's that that's the thing.
It's insane to see.
I have a tweet from April 23rd, 2021.
The Bored Ape Yacht Club NFT pre-sale is now live.
Gas is cheap.
Come Ape with us.
It's so crazy how much changed since then, right?
Like four people decided to create this collection.
No one probably expected what's going to happen after that.
And damn, there are so many apes.
This is going to be fifth ape fest ever, right?
Thousands of people flying to Las Vegas.
Thousands of people flew to Lisbon.
Thousands of people flew to Hong Kong and NYC, right? Absolutely insane.
Absolutely insane. So yeah, really bullish. It's fucking wild. Did you guys see the video by DC Roth? Those seven minutes? Holy shit, that MFR is crazy. It's incredible. I'll open it up.
Because he's from Austria, bro. Is he from Austria?
Yeah, they produce the best actors.
One of the most famous actors from Austria
is Arnold Schwarzenegger, the Terminator.
So we have Terminator and DC Road.
I think they are on the same level
because the video is insane.
And just when you go through it
and you think about the journey,
what you just mentioned, that they put it together in April 21 and like how many lives were changed because of that, because of them. that were created and so many experiments also, with so many things. BAYC was first.
And you never know what to create.
It's totally new space.
So you have no idea what's actually going to work
and what's not going to work.
But those MFs, they keep trying.
And they keep doing stuff.
So really, guys, if you haven't checked the video,
I'll pin it up and watch it
and just think about like how crazy the journey is.
Yep, it's absolutely wild.
Pancho, welcome here. I know you have a big day. I'm just going to
Blavver, I guess, right? Blavver XYZ. I'm going to check it out if it's ready, if everything's fine.
Okay, the bored bubblegum machine,
I'm checking it, minting in
one hour, 30 minutes. So,
how you feeling, guys?
GM, GM, we're feeling
good. Really exciting.
Hardly any sleep.
I did actually get
like two hours last night,
but just reaching reaching out you know
dealing with all the uh allow list and everything but um it's it's looking great people are loving
it um we've got um you know 88 prize capsules within the Mint. So you could win a G's, you could win a Shapes, you could win some Portals.
And we've got all kinds of, there's like 13 NFT prizes.
And then the rest are sort of going to be gamified for even more fun as we host spaces around it.
And get people in the Discord to claim those over the next few weeks.
But we're going to have some fun with that.
And, you know, Giacobo did a great job with the art.
He got crates like lasagna top hats and spaghetti hats and fish head hats
and fire and tinfoil hats for all the conspiracy-minded people.
And Pancho, tell them what they win if they get a lasagna hat.
Tell them where this was all born.
Well, the lasagna came out from our idea.
My idea, I've been making lasagna for my birthday parties for like over 12 years and uh ever since i moved to new
york i like well that was 2008 yikes um and uh made lasagna dinners for all my friends to come
over for and serve for my birthday party it just became a family tradition uh and i've experimented
with all different flavors and
different ways to put it together and hone the recipe over all this time. And when I met Jennifer
shortly after the, you know, we'd known each other in Clubhouse. And then once I got the ape,
she had missed the mint and I gave her a derivative of Poncho back then. And we started the conversation about building this MBA Poppin Foods to break bread with all of Web3 and reach out to Web2 and bring them into the fold.
And, you know, when we eat together, we bond.
And IRL is the alpha, we've always said.
And so that's what we're set out to do.
Not only bring lasagna, but pizzas and different food products that sort of have our own spin.
We're going to, you know, I've been making all kinds of fun recipes with Grapeful and Tino's chocolates with the banana splits and poncho cookies and whatnot
and lost chicken burritos and PP Man birthday cake.
But that PP Man birthday cake is actually a real recipe that I made for a friend's wedding back years and years ago
for a Burning Man wedding in San Francisco.
So I'm hoping to maybe make one of those for either NFT NYC or Vegas.
We'll find the best fit for it.
And you'll love it.
It's so good.
It's like people devour this cake.
A little bird told me that there may be lasagna at NFT NYC.
That may be the case.
Not really sure.
I'm so hungry, guys.
That's tough discussion now.
I'm so, so hungry.
It's crazy.
But maybe for people that don't know about what you guys minting,
could you give them short intro?
I don't know if there's still a chance.
Probably not, right?
How to get on OGs and VIPs and public and other lists.
So if you could share short info, what's your mint about,
where they can mint it and uh what are the lists
uh you know the ogs vips public and the broker yeah hey can we can well i wanted to say first
of all we love this space you're doing an amazing. And you can see up there that it says number 362.
This has come full circle.
A couple days ago,
you had 360 show,
360 degrees of grateful.
There is nothing
more powerful than the power
of gravity.
There's a great community
and space.
Sorry, I'm losing you here.
I don't hear you well.
I don't know if it's just me or...
Yeah, yeah, same, same.
Same, so you were ragging a little bit.
A little bit of robot.
It's a tinfoil.
Like, I wouldn't recommend you to put your iPhone into tinfoil.
I actually just crawled out of the microwave oven.
That's probably what was causing the dilemma.
Now it's good.
Now it's good. Now it's good.
So I just wanted to say how grateful we are.
A couple days ago, you hit show number 360, and you've come full circle.
And 360 degrees of gratitude is what Poncho and I are here to be thankful for with you.
You do an amazing job on this show.
This space is essential to this
vibe in this community. And we just want to give you some flowers so that you can put flowers out
on your table so that as we're eating and we're clinking big frosty pints of Pilsner or Kel,
that we will come together and have this vibe that you've created proliferate into IRL,
for which we're enormously grateful.
So just wanted to say thank you for that.
I have to say one thing because I didn't think about this.
And when you said it right now, I think we need to do some crazy IRL event in Las Vegas.
I think I'm putting it here.
I'm writing it down and we need to do something,
Project X or some shit like that, guys.
Like we got to bring 1200 people
into small room
and do some crazy rave.
Tino knows how this works
so he can organize that,
but I'm writing it down right now.
IRL in Las Vegas, guys.
And oh my God,
can you imagine jumping out of like 10th floor into the pool
and shit like that? It's gotta be amazing. So thank you so much.
So one of the things that we've already done is we've got reservations at these amazing places
for these epic experiences that are going to be part of our Welcome to Las Vegas, because
I have deep roots in Las Vegas. As the editor-at-large of Proof Magazine and Food and Beverage
Media, we do our awards there every year. I have got some things planned for us that you can only
dream of. I have private access. You know, Vegas is all about
access. Anybody can go to Vegas, but not everybody gets access. The apes are going to have more
access with Poncho and with Grateful. I'm telling you right now, you are not going to want to miss
these things. And I have a space. The most epic event space in Las Vegas is waiting for us. You're
going to want to be part of this. Not because you're going to want to brag on it. You're going
to want to be there because you don't want to miss what's going to happen. This isn't FOMO.
This is something that's on your list of, boy, I'm really looking forward to it.
I'm really looking forward to being together with these people. I'm really looking forward to it. I'm really looking forward to being together with these people.
I'm really looking forward to drinking with these people
and jumping in the pool with these people,
but I'm really excited to eat on the epic expert eating experience
and extravaganza that Poncho Poppins is putting together for you.
And that grateful grateful i'm telling
you we're gonna have so much fun in las vegas let's go i cannot wait oh my god but it's still
so far away uh i i saw luke joining us luke do you want to add anything welcome here how are you
doing today hey gm uh thanks for having me dude i i don't know if i saw one of you guys in paris i don't
think i did but i know i'm at beast i'm excited to meet grateful um in vegas if if that happens
but i really wish it were in hawaii um also is when you mentioned um things going on in vegas
miss english is i don't know if it's Miss or Mrs.,
but Miss English, are those things that you're doing for apes in general or for the
bored bubblegum chewers? You know what, Luke? Everyone's welcome at our table,
but we're doing some very special things for our board bubblegum holders.
And I really am excited that the timing of this worked out on Mint Day,
that we're getting exciting news about ApeFest coming to Las Vegas,
because I had already got some things planned for us that we're going to make.
We're calling it the Ape Fest expert eating extravaganza,
because one of the things we know is that Las Vegas is all about access.
The best places only have so many seats, and we've got them booked for the apes.
We'll come together, and we will be grateful together. And I'm telling you, when
we get there, this isn't about just having a bubblegum blowing contest, if you know what I
mean. This is going to be delicious and epic. And you will absolutely remember this, not just
because we're there in Las Vegas. We're going to remember it because we're in real life together.
And one of the things that we've discovered is when you're fortunate enough to come together We're there in Las Vegas. We're going to remember it because we're in real life together.
And one of the things that we've discovered is when you're fortunate enough to come together with this community, how much fun we have.
There's not enough laughter in the world.
There's not enough deliciousness in the world.
By coming together and sustaining and nourishing this community, which is what Poncho Poppins has been doing since day one,
since that first week of the mint back in 2021.
We've been talking about how can we feed each other,
because one of the things I know,
and I know this the way I know my own soul,
is that food unites us,
and when you can bring these extraordinary people
who are creatives from all over the world together, and we can share a meal together
and break bread together, and we can have this experience together, nothing really is more
enriching than that. Because as James Beard, the father of American gastronomy said, food unites us.
The French philosopher Brillat-Savarin said, show me what you eat and I'll tell you who you are.
We know how important food is to us. And we are privileged that we get to be the ones to say that
today with our mint happening in what, less than two hours. And i wanted to make sure we said hey just pin this for a second
poncho have we got if we got the possibility that anybody missed getting on our list
that we can get them on their list right now anybody that dms me uh in the next 20 minutes
okay guys you heard it here if you want to get on that list, check the pinned tweet. It's minting in our 20 minutes or something like that.
And DM Pancho here on stage.
So you can get on that list and be able to mint on Bliver, guys.
Anything, guys, you would like to share?
Because I would like to circle around, say hi to Gatsby.
Also chat a little bit more about ApeFest.
So anything that would help you right now with the mint. like to circle around, say hi to Gatsby, also chat a little bit more about ApeFest.
So anything that would help you right now with a mint?
I'll be minting for sure, right?
But anything that you would like to share?
You know, I wanted to say one last thing.
Poncho is one of the most creative people I've ever met.
But he's also one of the most generous.
And there's something really powerful that happens when you marry the generosity and that creativity together. It really is a,
like a power-packed atom explosion, right? You get this nuclear blast of positivity that comes from somebody who's
enormously creative and enormously generous. And that is the underlying vibe of this experience
with today's Mint. It's about being really positive, even when we're talking shit about
the other color, even when we're talking shit about our friends.
At the end of the day, this is such a powerful, fun thing.
And I want to say that it all comes from the incredible spirit of creativity
and the incredible spirit of generosity of Chef Pancho Poppins.
And if you haven't experienced it for yourself yet,
join us.
Because what this mint today is going to do,
we talk a lot about community and we experience it here with Grateful
and on the show and together.
But once you really become part of this,
this is where the leverage of proliferation
is going to come from.
You're going to come and be happy to bring somebody with you to Las Vegas to say,
I want you to meet my friends, knowing that we will push the chairs aside and drag another chair in for whoever you bring.
That's what the spirit of this is all about.
And so I want you to go back to being a D-Gen and remembering when
you were little and remembering when you turn the crank in that gumball machine when you were little
and remembering how that stirred that very thing that makes you such a successful D-Gen today
and join us at our Mint. And if you need anything, we're here because we can't wait to welcome you to our table.
Amazing. Let's go, guys.
I got one important announcement, though, like it was just brought to my attention that there's already three fake collections on Magic Eden.
Oh, that's why Gatsby DMed me that he already minted.
Yeah, he was like, bro, I already have it, man.
Yeah.
But no.
No imitation.
Guys, but you heard Pancho.
You have a few more minutes to DM him with your wallet and get on that allow list.
Make sure to include the feedpicks, for sure.
Yeah, that's how it works.
I have 3D feedpicks from Rita, and it always works, guys.
Whenever I need to invite someone on show, on stage,
I'm just sending those, and it's like magic.
But on serious note, go to blubber.xyz, check it out.
If you don't see yourself on that list, DM Pancho.
He's here on stage. You can DM't see yourself on that list, DM Pancho. He's here on stage. You can DM
him and get on that list. So yeah, guys, if you have time, stay here with us on stage. Well,
the mint is in our 14 minutes. So I think that's just about the time that we are going to wrap up
the show. So we'll remind everyone to go there and mint 100%. And I also see Gene and a few other legends here from LA, right?
He can't do any work for Aborder now because he's been watching all the NBA highlights and everything, you know, trying to get...
Holy shit!
Holy shit.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay. James, what's good?
Whoa. Let's go. What's up? Let's fucking go.
Okay, James, I was just saying this story that whenever I invite the guests here, I send them a feed pics and I forgot to send you the feed pics and that's right. I didn't. I scrolled through my DMs and if
I don't see like image attached, I don't really even
jump in there and I did and I
you know, that's why I didn't hear. But no, sorry.
Sorry I was so late. I obviously have a ton of meetings
and stuff during the day. But I saw
you ask me if I can come in. So I figured I'd join in.
It sounds like I jumped in right as you're wrapping up the space.
So I apologize. No, no, no, no. All good.
All good. All good.
We are just chilling a little bit.
Pancho's Mint on Ape Chain, of course.
I'm super excited for that.
Me too.
Super excited for that today.
Me too.
It's going to be some fun stuff.
Love it.
Love it.
And I have to ask you also about Las Vegas.
How excited are you about it?
I'm very excited about it.
Vegas is always a fun place. Last time I was in Vegasgas if i'm being honest i was there too long uh it was back when i was like a freelancer and i was
working on a we were building a design system for the cosmopolitan hotel and i was there for
probably like four or five days uh you know doing jam sessions with with the whole group there and
everything uh and then my my wife wife and some friends showed up.
And so I was there for the weekend.
So I was there for like probably eight days and like eight days in Vegas.
It's a bit much. It's just a bit much. You know what I mean?
Like, I think that was just too long. So, but I absolutely love Vegas.
It's always a fun, I'm a, I'm very much a people watching person.
And so for me,
I just like to watch everything that kind of happens over there.
Because, you know, it stays there.
So if you don't see it there, you don't get to know about it.
So it's always a fun thing to do.
And I'm a huge fan of the Caesar Palace Bacchanalia.
You know, you just go there and eat all sorts of good food and stuff like that.
Unfortunately, there's not a Waffle House, but that's okay.
We'll figure something else out.
If people know that joke, it's just a joke between the gobs community.
But, yeah, I'm super excited. I'm glad it's just a joke between the gobs community but uh yeah i'm super excited
i'm glad i'm glad it's finally out so now i don't have to keep uh keep it under wraps and so since
when you knew about it because we were trying so hard to get alpha from everyone from you man i was
dming i was using hypnosis a little bit just a little bit you know just a little bit yeah i i can imagine i can imagine but man you had
a successful mint of um minto towers uh i was also lucky i didn't expect it that i would be able to
mint actually i thought it's gonna disappear within second but i was able to to get few uh
with my bayc allocation yeah so i'm really happy with that. I have to ask people here on stage, guys, who also minted
some Minto Towers?
Bro, mutants disappeared in like
seconds. It was impossible.
It was very fast.
It was good, man.
It was chaos. It was
three or four days of chaos. I feel like I had
Monday wasn't too chaotic because that was
just letting... Easter Sunday, which my wife loved that i did this was like you
know the the initial mint and that was going pretty good i had to pause it just because um
you know quit uh you know the awesome person that he is he found something that was like this really
weird edge case but like and i don't mind talking about it now since we're rented out but like
you know there's a really weird edge case that like,
if someone knew what they were doing,
they could have minted out the whole project to themselves.
It was such a weird way to do it too.
It was a very hard thing to catch, but, you know,
excuse me, we were like, well,
no one's probably going to catch it,
but I just didn't want to like, you know,
leave that little bit up for grabs
in case someone somehow figured something out.
So pause the mint, fixed it.
And then yesterday yesterday the big mint
chaos was just you know uh took me a couple extra minutes to get the the collections up on the page
which i actually think was helpful because if you go back and look at the uh the contract you will
see tens of thousands of bots hitting the contract as soon as 10 20 hit and i think they gave up
because it took me so long to get the contract updated and so i actually think that helped get it into actual community members hands and so that made me happy as well man we talk
about artifact here i know gobs are on chain right so is uh mental towers art also on chain so we
don't have to worry about uh amazon web services or something like that that they used in artifact
yeah yeah i think the beauty of ape chain is just being able to put a little bit more stuff easier
on Chain and for a cheaper price.
So yeah, the collections are both on Chain.
So if I win the lottery and disappear into the Cayman Islands forever and stop paying
any kind of bill, the Mentators and the Goblins will remain as long as the Chain runs.
You know what I mean?
Beast, I saw you unmuted.
Did you want to add anything?
Yeah, I just wanted to say that the claim for
gobs was actually so smooth.
So I know it was
420, so I just
chilled, went to my laptop, you know,
went to the website,
did a little claim. Everything was
quick, everything was nice, it was fun,
the website looks dope, so it Everything was nice. It was fun. The website looks dope.
So it was really nice.
Yeah.
Now, Blubber, the team at Blubber, Cos and Deep,
they're just, excuse me, they just killed it.
It was really, really good.
And one of the reasons why I wanted to work with them,
not just because they were goaded, but just
this now kind of helps them maybe set up a little bit
of the infrastructure to do these kind of mint procedures with other collections collections because i think it's fun it's a good way to get
other communities involved and you know while it does add some chaos i think it's still like
it brings a little bit of fun into into the mix of minting and we need a little bit of fun with
mint nowadays it was cool that the blever side was custom right it had custom design i really
enjoyed it and it showed possibilities,
maybe also for the future collection,
if they want to customize the minting experience, right?
Which was really, really nice.
I enjoyed that to see everything.
It worked well.
Everything on Blevr usually works perfect.
I don't know how the guy's doing that.
It's, it's, it's cool.
Funny that the Pauzer, he's, he's from Czech Republic.
He's from our club.
He was the first one actually minting on a Blevver.
That's funny.
I didn't know that Blevver will become such a big platform.
But I also read on the board, Ib Gazet, that there's something happening with a beard.
Yeah, so if you own a Mentator, you can go to the website that's in the Mentator's profile.
It's mentators.xyz, but just go to the website and click the right link.
Don't spell it wrong and stuff.
But yeah, you can go there.
You can connect your wallet.
It's safe.
It's my website.
So it's like, I promise you it's safe.
Trust me, bro.
But yeah, and if you own any gobs, look at me.
If you own any Mentators, you can, old habits die hard.
You can filter by the ones you own.
And if you click on one, a modal will pop up,
and it gives you an option to shave their beard.
So if you see in my PFP right now, it's got the long beard.
You're able to choose to keep it long.
You can go short.
You can go stubble, or you can go clean shaven.
And on each Mentator, they were randomly assigned
how fast the beards grow just like human
beings people have beards that grow at different lengths so um they grow either it takes one week
to get to the next stage or it could take up to three weeks so if someone shaves their beard all
the way to clean and their mentator is set for three weeks it could take nine weeks for the
beard to grow all the way back uh and so you decisions have consequences and you know that's if if you've
heard me talk in spaces and stuff everyone knows i'm kind of like a chaotic dungeon master who
likes to do weird things so like if you make a decision on one thing or another maybe it affects
something in the long term you know i do think one thing you know i didn't think about to be
to be honest is like what if someone shaves it on one of those really long ones and then wants to
sell it and the person gets it and it's like oh my god i have to wait for nine weeks for it to grow back but well that just means you hold it
for nine weeks but james it's still less time than uh tino actually growing his beard right
nine weeks tino he's been growing it since the last day first to be honest i'm not sure where
it is right now but i hear you man like There's a guy I work with, Forrest.
I swear, he would clean shave him one day.
I'd see him, and then I feel like on Thursday,
two days later, he'd have a full beard all the way down to his chest.
I was like, man, how do you do that?
He's like, it just grows, my man.
I'm like, yeah, I hear you.
Yeah, man.
I think I'd probably shave the minotaurs
so the gum doesn't get stuck in the beard
there you go that's right that's right yeah and it's funny what i found is like um there's some
that i find that aren't aesthetically pleasing when i look at them with like say the long beard
but then if you see them either with like a shorter stubble you're like oh this actually
looks much cooler and so it almost like kind of like opens up the collection a little bit more
to folks because you can like change it a little bit,
but not drastically.
And it doesn't affect metadata, so it doesn't affect rarity
and all that stuff.
So I try to be mindful of that.
Man, the short one looks the best, I think.
I'm just checking it right now.
I see there is also freeze bird.
So does it mean that it freezes forever?
That just means, yes.
So if you're like, oh, I like the short beard,
it's very much like
you just want to maintain a short beard so you freeze it and it won't grow and so like it that
way it ignores like the the time spent i can't remember if i set it to where if you unfreeze it
it catches up automatically if it grows from the beginning but yeah can i then change it or it's
gonna stay forever um you can unfreeze it so like you can like you can say like unfreeze and it
should start growing again and it'll get back long and then you can change the lengths again.
All right, let's do it.
I'm shaving.
Let's go.
Let's go.
Oh, and people are like, oh, you know, is there going to be a penalty if I don't shave or stuff like that?
It's like, no, this is all just for fun.
Whether you shave your beard or not has no effect on anything else.
I'm going to shave them after the space, man.
You know, and it's so nice that now we again see why Apechain
is so awesome, because you can play with that and it costs
almost nothing, right? We couldn't do this on, like, layer 1. We would pay, like, so much
for it. You're talking about last bull market. Like, on
ETH, it's also cheap these days, but
Apechain is quick, it's cheap, but, but Apechain is, is quick.
It's cheap.
Like you can do a lot of great things there.
Our other side will be also powered by Apechain,
right?
Which is,
which is dope.
minting NFTs,
it always brings joy to my day.
and,
and other guys from our group chats,
everyone was so excited.
Someone actually minted the,
the gold,
Minto towers. So they were like, holy shit, I have gold. And there's a, there's all for like a 9,000 was so excited. Someone actually minted the gold Minto Towers, so they were like,
holy shit, I have gold, and there's
all for like 9,000 ape coin,
but no, I'm holding. And I was like,
I love it, guys. I love to see this excitement,
right? It's very fun.
To be honest with you, I was
anonymous
on a space while the
mint was happening, and just listening to everyone,
because I wanted to hear everyone without influencing
the chat.
This collection is still open.
Look at this one's going fast. Oh my gosh.
Hearing the chaos is something that I
revel in, I guess.
It's fun hearing.
It's a bummer hearing
when I hear folks who weren't able to claim one because of X,
Y, or Z. That's a bummer.
It is fun hearing everyone kind of have some fun
and spread a little bit of chaos into the timeline.
It's a good thing sometimes.
What was your idea behind the secondary collection after GOPS?
Do you have any?
Of course, everyone's asking, right?
Like utility and future plans, et cetera.
No, no, no.
So my ethos with all of this, it goes with gobs and with mentators is like uh they're
just like experiences on their own right and uh i don't have anything else promised for for for
these things like you know like i just and i said that with gobs and then i did mentors everyone's
like you lying so like i'm the boy cried wolf but like it's at my speed i'm very much i've been
trying to figure out how to like communicate this the best way and it's like it's almost's almost like an author or somebody, or maybe like, you know, it's like,
maybe if I get the feeling to write another book, maybe I'll write another book. But if not,
maybe I don't. And like, I hope the, what I built now can just stand the test of time and
folks can appreciate that or not. And that's okay. And I think sometimes people get upset with like,
dude, don't say that you're going to like destroy the floor. Cause you're saying there's
something coming. It's like, well, I mean, I just, you know,
right now I'm exhausted from the Mentator's like creation doing all that
stuff. And so like, yeah, I don't know.
Like I was able to like put my computer away and watch Andor last night and
actually just like watch TV without trying to be worried about stuff.
And it was so nice. And so, you know, I think for me,
it's just appreciate sometimes that collections are just what they are and
they stand on it. That's why I was a free mint. You know, I, I do have a little bit of royalties this time
just because one, like, uh, my wife killed me for not doing royalties on the last one. And two,
um, uh, my designer buddy, Mike helped with a lot of the traits and he's helps me with a bunch of
other stuff. So, you know, I think it's only fair for him to get paid for his services because he didn't sign up to not do that. So, yeah. And, you know, I think it's, I think it's the, the utility and the when,
when like mentality sometimes is a little tough. And so I feel, I feel like, I feel what's the
right word bashful when I'm talking about that part of it. Cause I'm like, yeah, I know people
want all this stuff, but it's just like, I can't promise it. Yuga is my first priority.
It's like family, Yuga, and then my collections.
And that's just how I live my life.
And people can ride with it or they can't.
You know what I mean?
100%. 100%.
I think it's amazing that people from Yuga
are actually making their own collections on Ape Chain.
I think this approach in general
that
Garga
and you guys, that you are
involved so much
in the community that you
are in touch with us, right?
You are in touch like
we do. You are really
deep in trenches, I would call it like that.
So I think that's amazing.
And I think it's necessary in Web3,
like the approach that you're cooking something
behind the door, of course it works, right?
But you need to have the connection
with the dgens, with us.
And I absolutely love that.
I was thinking about it past week
and I think it's incredible
that you are approachable, right?
It's not like I'm sending email to some kind of corporation no like we dm each other you come on spaces this
is this is it man i love it yeah no i appreciate that and i think that was kind of a a big reasoning
of why i did gobs on ape at first was like you know uh i wanted to make sure building on ape
chain was easy and like you know as easy as it can be as a developer,
right? Like, you know, where we're like, you know,
we can look at, we can, we can look around
and we can kind of like poke on things and see,
okay, this looks right, but like building a real project,
right? Like dealing with the alchemy keys,
making sure you're pushing things like, you know,
to the right, like are using testnet,
do all the APIs you need to use on testnet,
are they available? Where's the documentation?
Like there's a lot of stuff that goes on to building a project besides just just
the art and this isn't like me like negating the art i'm just saying like there's the dev side is
very complicated as well and so i was like cool i'm just gonna do it from start to finish like
all the way through and and just and i did find some holes i forget what they were now but like
you know i think luckily because i of my position i was able to get someone on a, you know, I think luckily because I, of my position, I was able to get someone
on a Slack, you know, channel, but hey, I'm noticing the, you know, we don't have documentation
for test net.
So can you know, how do we do that?
Like, oh, sorry, it's actually this.
And like, you know, I was able to fine tune some things.
I'm like, oh, okay, cool.
And point out where we were missing stuff.
So yeah, and I think then after it launched, I was just able to get to be more in the community
and just get really good feedback.
And it's important to know your users and know your space.
I think you can get something from the timeline, but you really get a lot from spaces and interpersonal communications.
Spaces are amazing that you can feel the emotions.
Everyone can also fake or chat GPT tweet, right?
But on Spaces, you have the real emotions.
And I think that's a great feedback.
That's what we love about Spaces
that you can invite builders, artists,
community leaders, et cetera, et cetera.
And the chat is always great.
So really, really, really appreciated
that you joined us today.
I would love to ask
because I know people here on stage, they also have some questions, but I would love to ask, because I know people here on stage
also have some questions,
but I would like to ask about the name.
Is it coming from the Mint...
Damn, I tried to pronounce it.
Minotaur, or how you pronounce it in English?
Yeah, that's right.
It was funny.
I know I wanted to make Minotaurs,
and I was like, let me just be cheeky
and say Minotaur,
because it's Web3 and whatever. That's all it was funny. I was like, I know I wanted to make Minotaurs, and I was like, let me just be cheeky and say Minotaurs because it's Web3 and, you know, whatever.
So, yeah, that's all it was.
It was just a little fun, cheeky play on words.
And I feel like sometimes the hardest thing
is figuring out the stupid name for your project.
And so I was just like, cool,
let me just throw a T in there and call it Minotaurs.
Man, I remember when I played,
and it's a long, long time ago,
I think the name of the game was just like Hercules.
And there are a lot of these creatures.
And I think the game, let me quickly Google that.
Oh my God, the game is from 1997.
So basically probably no one in this room
was even born back in the day, except Tino.
So yeah, a long time ago, but I love those creatures.
So yeah.
I tell you what, buddy, I'm 45.
So I was definitely alive.
Yeah.
So maybe you play too, right?
That's right.
Exactly.
Beastino, do you have any questions or I'll ask also people here in the audience?
Yeah.
On the stage, sorry.
James, can I request one feature?
And perhaps it's there, but is it possible to have a download JPEG button?
Because...
Yeah, I'm going to work on that.
I think I have it on the GOB site, and I don't have it on the Minotaur site.
After you shave it, you may want to download it or do something like that.
Or even just get a better high-res version.
I need to tweet it out right now you know yeah no 100 i i think
that's that's a fair call out and you know what's interesting is like once i launched when i launched
the uh the site yesterday the preview was like putting the beard above the attribute if you had
a mouth one so if you had like a pipe the beard was going in front so i had to fix that real quick
but yeah give me give me a couple days and i'll probably get the the download button there
beast is stuck in 2021 because he
want to right-click Save Mine, right?
Exactly.
I have to be careful there.
That's why I'm asking.
Perhaps it's on purpose, you know, to protect it.
That's right.
But yeah, it's coming soon.
No, coming soon.
Tino, any questions from your side?
No, just a question to Beas.
Have you heard of screenshotting something? Oh boy.
Don't start with that again.
Let me Google it
for you. Demand shift 4 if you have a Mac.
It's pretty straightforward but you know it's okay. I'll get you a button.
That's cool.
No James thank you so much for joining us on stage.
I'm sure somebody on the stage
also has any questions.
I know Gatsby also minted the Golden One.
Is that correct, Gatsby?
Yes, sir, bro.
Tim, that's another MFR with Golden One.
Yeah, I got no questions.
I just want to congratulate James, man,
because I think the mint was overall just a great experience.
And it also set a lot of standards for a lot of founders
on how we should be know be thinking on um doing secondary
collection sales and keeping it fair involving other collections which also boosts the activity
on them so just overall super happy for you man because i think it's it's dope and i love like
what grateful was saying right that all of you and yuga are so tapped in it comes to show when
we're in the bear that yuga was hiring people
that were djins and apes right so like bat teeth and and just a whole bunch of others that are now
at the at the helm of yuga and yeah man i just think that you also testing it you know testing
ape chain and finding some things that can make it better for others building stuff and launching
stuff i think that just shows you know how much yuga and the
team inside yuga is just legends like us and they're just enjoying and having fun and and
really doing this for for just making it a better space right and nothing much man i'm just i'm just
stoked yeah i'm into the gold i haven't shaved any yet i'm actually i just shot like 25 offers today
i'm not gonna say to what trait because i don't want them to get exactly it was like oh what's your grill i'm like i'm not telling you guys gonna ramp the
price up on that you kidding me exactly bro exactly so yeah i've been i've been doing my
offers i've been stacking i got six mint tatars so far one gold and uh and yeah man and then for
pancho i'm super excited as well man for bubbleg. He's been cooking for a while, so I know the art is going to be insane.
I got my physical Pancho token and yeah, not much to say, man.
Just flowers overall for everyone.
And it's good to see the market pumping a bit, you know,
and shining some sun into us as well.
So yeah.
For sure.
Damn, you are the one with the golden one i love it i'm jealous but yeah they are so cool i i saw
beast shaped his right so that's definitely dope to see them uh i also see baka uh who's big crypto
or space kitty guys do you have any questions for j Baca? Go ahead? I see you unmuted already Baca is not allowed to ask me anything. Don't let this mother
Okay
Bro, if we don't like the question
We are calling police and you out. It's okay. So be careful.
Be careful.
Yeah.
Yeah, James.
I have a question, but it's not related to Mentatars.
So you're good.
What do you think about this Think Agent thing?
It's about to mint out and the sales about to end in about 53 minutes.
Yeah.
It's someone else that asked me about this yesterday. And my response is, I've been so heads down with Mentatars. I've not even been able to look. I think it's someone else that asked me about this yesterday and my response is i'll give a i i've been so heads now with mintatars i've not even been able to look i think it's cool i know
the folks are behind it and they're all really great people but i'm so woefully like behind on
like things that are happening right now uh i think ai agents and all that kind of stuff is
like super duper cool but yeah i'm like i have no idea what they're offering so i'm sorry i can't
really give a good educated opinion.
I know the team and the team's great.
Also, OtherPage did a collab with them.
So I don't know if there's other space today.
They're usually starting in 52 minutes, right?
If there is a space,
I think they're going to be talking about it.
And it's really exciting.
Yeah, I also didn't do like huge research,
but I think it will be dope.
And there are so many things.
And James, I know you know those things, right?
You know probably what's happening and what's cooking.
It has to be insane.
It has to be insane.
So you just can name like two or three
and we'd be happy.
No, no, no, I know, I know, I know you can't.
But yeah, I'm feeling really excited
about what's happening in the space these days.
We, like, everyone was building through the bear
and now everything's coming together.
So yeah, I don't know how you guys feeling,
but I'm feeling really, really good
about what's happening in the space right now.
Like extremely good, I would say.
Yeah, I think, you know, it's,
I think a lot of people say sometimes like, you know,
like the know like the
the builder building the bear right and i think that's true and so you know i feel like there
was like this quiet time on uh on the chain and everything and like you know i knew and i knew
like i think i said it and i actually was in bakken space like probably a few weeks back i
was like i think everyone's quietly building and it's all going to come out around the same time
and you're going to start to feel this like fluster of activity,
which is great, right?
I think you have a lot of stuff
that gets quiet,
people build
and it comes back out in these waves
and so I'm super excited as well.
Maybe one more question from my side.
Do you think about
gulps and minto towers
and other side?
Do you plan something for that?
I don't.
Not because I,
I just,
because I don't have the expertise to do that.
And I don't,
I mean,
I don't know if some,
if people,
if other people make some kind of models and stuff for them,
like I'm more than happy for that,
but like,
like you'll,
you'll find out whenever people ask me
about this stuff like what do i think about this i'm like no no i'm like always just shutting
things down uh so i love it i love other side i mean i get to play and mess around with other
side all that's my that's my day job so like what how lucky am i really like literally i'm working
on like the persistent other side that's like my main focus so it's like i'm very lucky that i get
to play and talk to all these amazing developers so looking forward to bubbles yeah bubbles are great you know like we're just you
know i want to make it to where it's really i want it where when people play like other side
and they start to go around and explore and experience everything that like they just they
finally understand like the centralized assets what what it means to own something, interoperability,
like a lot of the key components I feel of like web three and like digital
ownership. I'm really excited for it.
Man, we were talking a little bit about it at the beginning of the space,
right? Because I tweeted today something about Somnia that I was like, man,
is Somnia tech also behind the other side, right?
And Dim, he found the message from Discord, from Garga, right?
That everything's on Ape Chain, not on Somnia, which, yeah, it makes 100% sense, right?
But also Somnia, it's interesting tech made by Improbable M2, right?
Yeah.
So I think we are in a good hands there.
Yeah. I mean, I talk with I talk with the unsquared folks daily multiple times and insanely smart people,
insanely passionate about like the metaverse. And, you know, like we just super geek out about it.
We're just like, oh, my gosh, what about this? Or I'll be like, hey, you know, I'm thinking about doing X, Y, Z, like totally.
Like today we were talking about something and I was like,
you know,
unlike,
you know,
unprovoked,
he was like,
it reminds me of X,
and Z.
And I was,
I said the same thing to Figgy yesterday.
And so it's just like,
we're all like very much on the same plane right now.
And so it's really,
really good stuff to hear,
you know.
Man,
I'm really bullish on you guys also,
because I was doing little research on on gaming right and
i'm i didn't have to do like huge research because i started gaming in 90s so i played all those
games that you know from blizzard and and all other companies but one thing that that probably
changed those companies was when they when so, so huge and when they
focused only on profit, right?
Like when Activision actually bought Blizzard, you know, the games were a little bit different
after that.
And I see the passion in Yuga and in Improbable Team, like people are really, I would say,
I would say even like insane, right?
even like insane, right?
Insanely passionate about what they are doing.
And I think that's really important to be successful in this new,
it's not new industry, right?
But it's like a new branch of gaming, if we call it like that.
It's really exciting to be part of that.
Yeah, yeah.
No, I think it's really cool.
It's going to be something special and I'm super excited.
And I'm not trying to like like, bull post too much.
I'm just, yeah, I think the way we're going with it and stuff is very exciting.
I don't know if you can...
Okay, go ahead, Tino.
Yeah, maybe I'll use this opportunity because you mentioned it.
Because how we look at it versus, like, how you look at it when you're involved
and, like, very, very deeply in the game.
How do you actually see it?
And would you consider,
because you mentioned several times playing other side,
for us, it's more like going to the other side
and just hanging out there and being there
and thinking about the activities that we could be doing
and possibly, you know, like building some kind of businesses,
some kind of experiences. How would you, how would you somehow explain it or like what was your feeling about this
compared to the gaming, how we know it?
Yeah. I mean, it's, it's very different.
And the reason why I say, I think I say playing right now is because we have play tests.
And so like, I'm very much like in a video game, kind, like, you know, like, vernacular when we're doing this stuff.
So it's just, you know, I think that's just what comes into it.
But, like, there's, I don't know.
I would have to be careful on what I'm allowed to talk about.
And, like, I want to share things, but I don't have, like, well, X, Y, and Z,
you know.
I just think that.
Yeah, sure.
This wasn't the catch.
No, for sure, sure.
I didn't take it as that.
I really just wanted you to take it.
I think it's a
paradigm shift and you have to like i think some folks already have that in their mind maybe maybe
you have played like world of warcraft a lot and all those things i haven't i've never i haven't
done that a ton so i think for me it's still like playing a game but i think i think folks who are
used to that kind of experience it's yeah it's going to be very similar.
I don't know if that answers your question or not. Sorry.
I'm also trying to tiptoe around that one.
Sorry about that.
Yeah, 100%.
That's perfect.
I just wanted to hear how you look at it.
And again, we are so excited.
We keep talking about it.
We talk about the deeds, how beautiful they are.
So even being able to spend some time there during the trips and during
uh during the events i think it's it's perfect and now and for me also the connection to the
real world either real world products or real world experiences i think this is something that
excites me yeah when i saw on ape fest uh the little portal that you can get into i think this
is this is huge for for me from my perspective
yeah it's a cool thing and you know like i think like a you know talking about like gathering and
meeting up with folks and so i think you know we had poker tables before so this isn't like hidden
right like like just being able to like meet up with the homies and play poker together you know
baka like sometimes does poker like in his spaces sometimes like imagine just being able to like hop into the other side or go,
go somewhere and be like, cool. Like we have a table right here.
Just come, come, come down and play with us here. And you get to, you know,
it's, it's, it's,
it still feels like you're playing like a website poker game maybe, but like,
you know, it's, it's,
it's with your friends and you're inside and you could see like, you know,
if everyone has an ape,
like if they're apes sitting across from you and stuff like that, or,
you know, you have, you know, if you have a Mii bit or, you know, stuff like that.
So I think it's, yeah, I think it's really, really cool.
It's really something different.
I think the gaming really, I talked to a few people and they were like,
man, gaming is probably only thing that keeps me in touch with my old friends right now
because they move from my town and we play games together.
And I really feel because I met so many people in Web3.
Just because I minted this ape, I met all of you here, guys.
It's absolutely crazy, right?
Thinking about this like 20 years ago, it's nuts, right?
And I see you guys more as your PFPs than your real face,
because I see you more as your ape than your real face, right?
I see you on ApeFest, but I see your PFPs.
And seeing your PFPs in 3D in the other side,
it creates connection, which is more like meeting you IRL.
And that's why I think other side is special for me,
that whenever I see Ape, I know I really feel such a better connection with that person in that space.
Yeah.
And I really enjoy that.
It's not longer.
It's really what flipped the switch for me.
I wasn't bearish on it, but I think it's what made me even more bullish was Apes Come Home.
come home and i've told the story a billion times so sorry folks in the audience if you've heard it
And I've told the story a billion times, so sorry folks in the audience if you've heard it.
um you know when we had apes come home going on like i ran into the clubhouse bathroom to look
around and to see what was going on and like i was like i saw this ape like you know hanging out in
there and doing stuff and i was like is that garga and i was like wait it has to be garga
because it's garga's ape and it can't be anybody else and i think that was such a massive unlocker
and then you'd see like you see bar see Baron and PP and all those other folks.
You see the folks that you see all the time running around.
And yeah, it's very, very much like it was
this massive unlock for me.
I think you read about it in Snow Crash and Ready Player One
and things like that, and you kind of get it.
But when you experience it yourself,
it's something very, very different.
100%. And I remember it's a long time ago.
We did with Benjamin one of the first spaces with Herman from Improvable.
And we talk about metaverse.
And one interesting point was that also other side and these metaverses are great to actually meet with people that are,
I don't want to say famous, but maybe high profile or famous
because in the real world, you handle like security and location, etc.
But when you meet your NBA stars, for example, right?
Like if you live in LA, you probably want to meet with,
and it depends probably, right?
Luka, maybe Le Lebron who knows this is great opportunity
because it's easier to actually manage it and and the feeling is really it's not 100% the same but
it's really close and meeting Gargadere uh it's um yeah I loved it I loved it yeah no it's really
really good and I'm excited to to see everyone uh in in Vegas it's so funny I was like wait wait we announced it right I can say even though you asked me right first I guess I good. And I'm excited to see everyone in Vegas. It's so funny.
I was like, wait, wait, we announced it, right?
I can say it.
Even though you asked me right back first, I guess.
I was like, yeah, I'm excited to meet everyone.
Wait a second.
Yeah, OK, cool.
Thanks.
I also don't want to get any more alpha,
but I'll try to ask if you can say anything.
It's shown as one day event, right?
We know that previous ape fests were like few day events.
There was like made by apes and some side events, et cetera.
I believe side events there will be 100%.
But how should we look at this ape fest?
It's going to be like whole day or night.
Or I don't know if you can say that.
If you can, let's keep that.
Even if I couldn't, like, you know,
like even if I knew, I couldn't like you know like even if i knew i
couldn't say because like and like that that whole planning section is like off limits to me so like
i don't i i don't i don't actually know so i feel comfortable saying i don't know because i literally
don't okay okay i literally i literally found out as a one-day event when everyone else said i was
and i went and talked to chad who's one of the guys who helps plan all of it i was like oh it's
a one day he's like yeah i was like cool okay cool because i saw it on the timeline like friday in
vegas uh like over 21 it sounds wild it's gonna be fun i'm i'm i'm very excited for it i'm i'm
very excited uh i like the weather in vegas it think around that time, it's going to be pretty nice.
Who knows who's performing there?
Not even at Datefest.
In Vegas as a whole.
So sorry.
I'm not trying to like...
I'm trying to be like...
There might be a show I want to go see.
So I'm excited to be able to go see a show or something like that.
Yeah, I'm just excited to be able to get over there.
It gets me so excited.
He already ordered a fake ID
so he can make it in.
Let's go.
Bro, I'm so worried.
Excuse me. I'm so worried about Vegas, bro.
To be honest.
Are you under 21?
No, I'm not. I'm not. Obviously not.
I'm close to my 30s now.
You can't say obviously. I have no idea.
You can't say obviously when all I see is a monkey holding the nuts. I have no to my 30s now. But, you know, great.
Obviously, when all I see is a monkey holding that.
That's true. That's true. That's true.
That's true. But no, man, when it was announced, I'm very stoked.
It's going to be my first time in Vegas, but I'm very worried as well because I know I have a gambling problem, bro.
That's why I never go to any casinos or play no gambling games.
The only gambling game I play is NFTs, right?
So but not really. Just know the house always wins, man. or play no gambling games. The only gambling game I play is NFTs, right? But no, I'm really...
Just know the house always wins, man.
Yeah, bro.
Just keep that in your mind.
The house always wins.
No, exactly.
That's my number one rule.
But what I do know is what I heard before
of Pancho's bubblegums
that are going to help us get better experiences
and access what the real Vegas experience is like.
So this being my first time, I'm going to 100% be minting more than one.
So yeah, man, just excited overall for Vegas, but just worried, you know.
Just don't get married for a second time, okay?
Be careful there.
Bro, actually, I might take my wife with me.
Let's see if I can convince her, you know.
But it would be dope, man.
It would be my first experience taking my wife to a crypto NFT event.
That way she also, you know, gets into the vibes a bit
and starts understanding our craziness a little bit better,
at least her husband's craziness, right?
I had my wife at NFT Paris with me, and I love her for her patience.
And she stayed for like an hour.
She's like, this isn't my spot.
I was like, okay. I'm going to go read isn't my spot i was like okay just that's that you know somewhere i was like that's literally what what i think is
gonna happen right is that okay i'm gonna vibe by myself so the good thing is a kid goody might
take his wife as well so if they just get bored or whatever you know they can gang up and do
whatever they want uh i don't know if that's safe either you know in in vegas but uh but yeah no
it's gonna be great for sure i'm just excited very fast you's safe either, you know, in Vegas. But yeah, no, it's going to be great for sure.
I'm just excited.
You need to take profits.
You know, you do it wrong.
You need to take profits and give her a lot of money for shopping and you will be okay.
I know, bro.
I know.
What are these profits things you speak of?
We don't know.
I don't know about that.
I have a curse of diamonds.
Are they in the room?
Yeah, the profits are in the room with us right now.
They're all screenshots, guys.
That's the profits.
Yeah, I take profits by taking screenshot of my portfolio.
That's it.
I got to bounce out, everybody.
I got a meeting coming up here, and I got to go take care of a couple things.
But it was great to see everybody.
Thanks for having me up.
Sorry I was so late, but thanks for holding a little bit long to chat with me. It's always great talking with everybody
Thank you so much for joining James really appreciate it, man
Yeah, for sure. I'll talk to you later. Okay. Oh, so shout out to you James. Appreciate everything you're doing for a chain. Hey
Of course, of course 30 minutes on the bubble gum. Let's go
Let's go. Let's fucking go Let's go
Yeah, big shout out to James that he joined us
amazing chat amazing chat love that and
I'm switching the name back to a to a fest Las Vegas, right? Let's go. Oh
My god guys, it's gonna be crazy. I also tweeted out for tips for
Road trip and I have like 50 replies. So It's going to be crazy. I also tweeted out for tips for road trip.
And I have like 50 replies.
So let's check it out.
But Gizme, go ahead.
I see your hand.
Bro, I just wanted to mention,
are we going to have something in the sphere, man?
That's my...
I'm super excited for that, you know?
Because, you know, 10KTF, Figgy especially,
has been like working a lot with the sphere and stuff.
At least that's what I've seen backstage and stuff.
I think WIF actually is doing something there, right?
Or maybe they didn't use those 750,000 for that.
I don't know.
That could be insane.
Can you imagine, bro, like an ape fest in the sphere?
My goodness.
Even if it's like a side event or whatever,
and having apes all around the sphere and the outside and shit doing crazy stuff.
Bro, that's wild, man.
Maybe we can even like submit our apes so they can put them on the sphere
like they did in Hong Kong with the stage as well.
That would be so epic, bro.
Imagine seeing your ape, you know, literally on the outside of the sphere just big ass all across vegas bro but i don't know how much how
much does it cost isn't it like uh 400k for one hour or something like that oh is it i don't know
i do remember reading something about that but i i remembered something like 100k for an event
something i don't know. I have no clue.
But maybe, bro.
Maybe they're like sponsors or, you know, they have the good connections, bro.
That's business, right?
So we know you guys good with business.
We'll see what they can do.
Will be fun.
Will be fun.
I see also another legend here on stage.
Showbiz.
Showbiz, man, how are you doing today?
What's good?
Yo, grateful.
Beastino. What's up, everyone? Hope you all having a great day.
It's Thursday Thursday. What are you sipping on, man? What are you sipping on?
Green tea, baby.
Shot some Modelo.
Green tea. Awesome, awesome.
Yeah, I had some herbal tea. I had some herbal tea this morning, man, so i drink tea every morning but yeah man um
ape fest bro holy who's ready for that i am very excited um before i talk to ape fest we had a
conversation in our space yeah we're running a little late man sorry i usually like to try and
shut down to get over to your space but uh poncho after you left we were talking
about your gumball machine man um you know dojo and i was at board cuban in miami and there was
a gumball machine in there and of course you know it was v friend stuff in there um you know and i
think vicky had one in her ice cream shop as well if I'm not mistaken But you know, I was we were just having a conversation
Lord Lord was talking about the mint coming up and everything, you know, um
He wasn't aware. So yeah, man, we we got to get you got get you people more aware of what you got coming, man
Um, i'm excited to mint and support, you because i do have you know i was i was lucky
enough to get some coins from you at uh the bodega and um at the ape fest and was able to use the
bubble gum machine man got a little uh mini ape out of there you know so yeah um I wish I had it with me, but it's in my box in Portugal still at family's house, man.
Sucks, bro.
Well, Little Alpha is I've been working with a fabricator to make those gumball machines purely customized to Poncho's brand.
gumball machines purely customized to poncho's brand and uh also um custom gumballs and then of
course the tokens uh that fit in them so uh i actually reached out to board cuban and uh
to gene about the brew pub up in calgary and yeah vicky like, want to get bubblegum machines to all those IRL locations around.
And Little Alpha, there are five prizes within the Mint that are actual gumball machines.
Oh, wow.
That someone can get a gumball machine from the Mint?
Yep.
Yo, that is so dope. Let's go. Wow. Someone can get a gumball machine from the Mint? Yep. Holy crap.
Yo, that is so dope.
Let's go.
Wow.
And yeah, so that's, you know, it will take a little bit of time to deliver and have to work out shipping and all that kind of stuff.
But I got a guy working on the customizations for the door.
specializations for the door so poncho will be on the door um if you remember the one in lisbon
So Poncho will be on the door.
just had like a little uh orange plate stuck to the door and it was just a quick fix for the event
um too little time to customize before that and this stuff takes forever back and forth but um
yeah you know that's the thing and uh we're actually working on getting
a really healthy gum in ball form that we can print with the logos and stuff you know instead
of the you know traditional sugar soaked uh gumballs and stuff um It's sourcing that kind of stuff or getting an existing manufacturer
to create gumballs as opposed to sticks
or whatever like that is a little difficult.
But we've got some really healthy gum
that we're working on and other stuff.
Yeah, man.
All kinds of fun stuff and fun and games.
It'll be a barrel of monkeys because
there's there's like something like this 70 or so i can't remember the exact number uh
if you remember tino the little plastic monkeys uh that you got out of the machine
um there were some that were gold and some that were plain uh there's 10 different varieties so
there's six plain varieties and then there's six of each uh pose um and there's 10 different poses
so that's 60 and then another 10 gold uh set so that'll be a different prize. And we're going to kind of gamify the whole claiming of that because we've got
some fun stuff to do on spaces or in discord or something like that for
claiming those, but the NFTs will get dropped right away.
And then,
and then we'll work out the rest of the prizes as we move forward in the
coming weeks.
Man, that's awesome, man. I just I just wanted to share with you
I never got to share with you that experience and it was so cool me and dojo
We were having breakfast there, you know and the gumball machine was v friends. So I just wanted to share that with you
Yeah
Cool, cool. We'll have to kick out those v friends and get some apes in there guys also
really loved the banana candy that was there i'm also really happy for because uh uh the sugar in
candy i think mainly in the u.s it's a huge problem also with kids and i i'm i'm trying to have my son to eat like just the natural stuff and just good
sugar from fruits and stuff so I'm really happy that that you're thinking about that Pancho
because I think that's very important and and for sure just just keep it up and we're all be
minting so yeah guys if you don't know what we're talking about make sure to check uh chef pancho
he's meeting on ape chain in half an hour the first uh the first part comes in half an hour
and then it continues quite grateful yeah i'm yeah i wanted to ask about sugar because you
you saw those illustrations right and there was a mountain with snow. So do you think that snow was actually coke
and that was pointing to Las Vegas?
Bro, we figured it out live on Spaces.
Okay, maybe we're not going to talk about it on Spaces.
Okay, so...
It was cold.
Guys, one quick piece of information.
So, Gatsby, how much did you guess was uh well it was for sphere for renting it for
an event you said 100k dollars yeah i guessed 100k so 20 000 people standing guests uh costs can
exceed 20 million dollars holy shit bro damn oh my god so basically So basically the advertising rates,
for the display,
the advertising rates are around 450,000 per day to 650,000 per week.
And during high demand periods,
during big events,
they can escalate to one to $2 million for 12 hours.
And they have approximately 4.7
million daily impressions, which is
crazy. That's nuts.
Is that where we're having ApeFest?
That would be freaking
epic.
He just
drowned my dreams, bro,
right now.
Aaron said something like
there's
Area 51 Club or now to remember Aaron Aaron said something like uh there's a area 51 like area 15 event space
area 15 oh so they reversed it so there's area 51 which everybody can go out to but um yeah area
15 he said seemed like the most obvious vibe since he's a local Las Vegas guy.
So my bets on that.
How long does it take from Las Vegas to Area 51, actually?
To drive to Area 51, it's a couple hours, I think.
It's kind of north of Las Vegas.
You don't have a UFO app.
Bro, if you are in Nevada, there's a UFO app.
You just tap it and you got to pick up by a flying source.
So you're not driving, bro.
I'm going to RF51 too.
It's going to be crazy.
But I saw Nana here.
He left probably. But I wanted to do a little commercial break.
but I wanted to do a little commercial break.
I found the most,
probably the worst royalty-free background music
that ever that you can find,
but I'll play it anyway.
And we do a little commercial break
and we thank our sponsors,
which is Other Space.
They are sending us zero ETH,
zero ApeCoin every fucking week um yeah uh we've made
it so far just because of them so here is the song it's so bad but other page did a call up
but think agents i don't know what does it mean it uh probably brings uh ai agents to nfts we're
gonna see what's going on i don't know if there's other space tonight,
but if there is one, definitely go there,
join them and ask about it because it looks really cool.
Other page will integrate this stack into its 3D avatars,
letting NFTs like Apes, Kodas and Meebits
evolve into interactive AI souls.
Yeah, and here you have an ad
from Wish. That's it, guys. But
yeah, definitely check it out. If they have a space,
go there. I'm not
100% sure, but it sounds
interesting. I love what's happening in the
space. I'm really, really excited.
Oh my god,
other space. Then we have
Pancho's Mint. Then we have
Persistent Other Side. It's not
today, right, but it's gonna be within like
two months, so yeah, it's
crazy, crazy. Don't
buy other deeds. Wait for
me and Tino, and then we give you green
light so you can go back. Right,
Tino? Yes.
Please.
Yeah.
I don't know if to open the the road trip to it because i know a lot of us mfers
will be flying to vegas some of you guys for the first time some of you for not a first time but
if you be flying from europe asia or africa right maybe you want to stay a little bit longer than just one day and i got so many great tips
i got over like almost 50 tips what to do where for example illa illa uh said la then uh tijuana
that's the only way to experience this my brother some people uh recommend it go to denver salt lake
city uh it's gonna be probably cold right a lot of people mentioned
la um i don't know nba is probably not happening in october i'm not 100 sure i think that i'll
check it out but it would be amazing, right?
Yeah, also I see Horder here. Horder is such legends a legend You don't know it, but he's on the Kaito leaderboard on Thrive Protocol. He's he's top three guys
He's top three. So be careful. Horder is he uping?
But that would be dope
be dope. A few people recommended driving to San Francisco. Some people saying Montana, Yellowstone,
a few people
recommended driving to San Francisco
Rockies, Utah, Vegas. Damn, I don't know what I'm gonna do, but I think staying there, of course,
for example, Josh, Grand Canyon, Antelope Canyon, Arches, Zion, Desert Vibes, Sedona.
Damn, so many great tips. I don't know what to do guys zion canyon bryce
canyon i know but so what's the alpha man so what's the alpha we we do like all those canyons
well i mean it depends on what you want to do like like like jennifer and i have already started on
like uh like you know like list of great eats on a budget, great eats in a medium price range, great eats for fine dining.
I'm also putting together all the mural locations in Las Vegas and stuff like that to share with people.
like that to share with people.
I've traveled all over
that section of the country.
Definitely come up
with some great sights to see
what floats
your boat besides outside of the idea
of casino or
Cirque du Soleil or anything like that.
If you haven't ever seen Cirque du Soleil,
see Cirque du Soleil.
Bro, you're talking about these shows? Cirque du Soleil is in Prague in September, that's Alpha.
Okay, so we can go here. It will probably cost like half the price, right?
I got tickets, I invite you for the presentation.
Okay, amazing. Let's go, let's go.
I wanted to go for david copperfield but uh
my nfts or value already disappeared so i don't need to do any magic show
i just checked and he's been still doing it doing it in mtm that's wild he'd be like he'd be like
hold this ledger and now it's gone i I was like it was gone before man like nothing new
Oh my god, yeah, but they are like oh
Shit isn't Steve Aoki actually resident of some of those clubs there
We could be caked. Oh, I don't know if it's appropriate. Tater welcome here, bro
we could be caked oh i don't know if it's appropriate tater welcome here bro bro never
never go to the top signal if the top signal comes to you it's okay but you don't chase down
the top signal bro steve aoki top signal alpha bro i've been on your mindset before homie i gotta
tell you we're different people because we're used to the cold, right? And you have to remember that this shit's going down in October.
So my suggestion would be land in Vegas,
get to California and then reverse the route 66 trip.
So leave from LA and then backtrack route 66 all the way back to Chicago,
bro.
There is no other American classic road trip.
Then get your kicks on route 66 bro
6 comes right up through where I'm at fuck. Yeah, that's why I said it. I'm planning this boy trip
So he's
Jeff you live in in dead wallet. It's really hot there. I know there I saw a video that you you dig a hole you put a you put an egg in that and the egg boils in the in the land so
I don't know how that works I saw it's really hot there I know eggs are now
expensive in US so I gotta bring my own but yeah is that you live in that world
bro in what like that I know that valley okay yeah i have my own pronunciation of that all the
way to um like hudson new york all the way to the east coast from la it's it's the old like
two-lane highway that went across the entire country that read about in on the road with Jack Kerouac and it's oh my god I read that book man
I I love that book I love uh this beat generation right oh my god I I love that I love reading that
it's so so good but I see nada here nada if you have a second 30 seconds maybe or 45 seconds
join us here on stage because we need to learn other page AI agents.
What the hell is going on?
And Nana's like, fuck, I'm working on something
very important.
And now they call me out on stage.
Yeah, I'll try that.
We'll see.
I already give you shout out Nana for sponsoring us.
So if you have time, join us.
But guys, this trip, I was really thinking about,
you know, renting a car
You know like 69 mustang
Holy shit. Do those have a manual transmission actually?
Um, if you get one with one bro, everything can have one if you want one
I hundred percent let's be one. Let's be real.
Grateful, Tino,
and Beast driving in America.
Pass.
How about I'll just be your driver?
I'm a North American
professional driver.
It'd be better if you guys just
get to look out the windows and enjoy
the scenery and not worry about
yelling, hon honking swearing
fist waving and um and and and you know road rage what is the best song for a road trip through
america guys what's in your um easy rider soundtrack bro offspring bro hey, you know I'm really okay.
The gun in my hand will tell you the same.
You know, finish it.
Damn.
I would go for the Easy Rider soundtrack.
That's a Roll Trip soundtrack.
There you go.
Okay, that wasn't it.
That wasn't it.
What about...
Okay, this is probably not the offspring one right that you thought about something honestly big shiny tunes
2000
2001 those are my driving jams. I'm sorry. I gotta go back to like
LL Cool J a little bit of Will Smith, Big Willie Style, Miami.
Bro, mama said knock you out.
Let's go, baby.
That's how I drive.
I drive in my 40s with music from my 20s,
so I pretend like I'm still in my 20s.
Going back to Cali.
Okay, if we go into cali uh there's only uh one thing how to do that right
and you know that and and and tino knows that and everyone knows that because there's only one way
Holy shit, we get lowriders in Las Vegas. It's gonna be fun. It's gonna be fun guys. Can't wait
Are you going is everyone here on stage going to Vegas?
Yes, I have credit I went to Backstreet boys for my girlfriend in vegas and i held that i held that
nine years nine years i held that card bro and then yesterday i took a picture of that ape fest
post and i slid it to her and i was like baby i'm calling in my card and she was like what she flips it over and she's like oh not the
fucking apes in vegas i can't handle that shit and i was like what do you mean can you imagine
i can't handle you and your friends on spaces it's all i need is you guys running around like
fucking monkeys and i was like touche touche can you imagine that that the announcement would be, yeah, we were like, we want a snoop, we
want a public enemy, but no, Tater, he wanted Backstreet Boys, and here we go, baby!
Apes, go crazy!
Yeah!
Yeah, Tater is crying now bro bro it's it's the call for me there's one backstreet boys song
it's the call it always gets me in the goggles of my heart oh my god please no backstreet boys
garga i know i have a crazy story with nick carter from backstreet boys. Garga, I know you. I have a crazy story with Nick Carter from Backstreet Boys.
When I was on a baseball party of one of my close friends from Tampa.
And we went clubbing.
And Nick Carter was actually...
Because his future wife was also having a baseball party in the same club.
So they had it kind of together.
And Nick Carter was actually hitting on her. And the guy went crazy. having a big show party in the same club so they had it kind of together and nick carter was
actually hitting on her and the guy went crazy so he was like following him over the parking lot
trying to beat him up it was it was the most hilarious story ever i found a photo of that
from some time ago i need to post it me and nick carter in the club this was a long time ago
bro i saw a poster but i think it was a GPT poster,
but there was Snoop, right?
Public Enemy, and some
other incredible
artists. Imagine we have
Public Enemy there, guys. That would be
absolutely insane
because the song we play after every
show, if
Public Enemy are performing
on A-Fest,
I'm jumping on stage.
Even if they ban me from BYC after that, I'm jumping on stage.
I'll take Mike from Chuck D or Flavor Flav or whoever will be there.
And damn, it's going to be crazy because...
Tino, I don't know if you were there too,
but I was on the public enemy concert here 2004, I think,
which is like 21 years ago.
Yeah, maybe.
And we talked about it.
You have a cool story from that, no?
Yeah, yeah.
I had like a red...
Yeah, it was very hard to get like the hip hop clothing here, right?
So I had like a baseball bomber, if you call it like that, red one.
And it was so hot and I was in the like first row standing so i put the bomber or the jacket under the stage and flavor
flave i don't know why but he really did spit there and he hit my jacket and i was like bro
you just spit on my jacket it was like hey cool he gave me high five and and he did his thing which
was really cool.
So yeah, if we have public, I'll ask him,
hey man, do you remember me 21 years ago?
I'm not sure.
You know, I'm not sure.
It's gotta be crazy because after, you know,
we had New York, Hong Kong, Lisbon, and I think Vegas will be, oh my God.
Can you drive there from LA or do you fly? Rethink that question. Like will you fly if you live in LA do you
fly to Las Vegas or are you driving? Do you fly from Prague to Paris? Man I'm not
sure because there's showbiz here on stage and showbiz always driving like
25 hours like showbiz frank driving to florida all the time i don't know
bro that's because half the time half the time in the states showbiz can't get himself a military
cargo plane to another military base so he only uses the cargo plane transport for overseas,
but he drives because he likes the tour.
And, you know, let's be real.
Showbiz likes to be able to use his Wi-Fi or his cell phone signal
so he can be in spaces while he's driving, right?
And if you're on a plane, you got to put your shit away.
Sometimes you don't.
So I think Showbiz, when he's traveling in North America,
he does it for you
guys not for himself it's the selflessness he could get there in four hours but he would rather
drive 18 and spend it with grateful tino and beast than miss you guys and travel for four
but that's just my take i think tino actually drove from prague Lisbon and also Alo did that. Alo drove from Germany to Portugal, which is really far away.
I think it's like a 20-hour drive or something like that.
So it's possible. It's possible. I'm just trying to figure out LA to Las Vegas.
LA to Las Vegas and...
Grateful.
Once I flew actually from LA to Vegas with Spirit Airlines
and we literally, we were on the plane
about to like get ready for taking off
and they canceled the flight where we were sitting inside.
I don't even, I don't remember like why,
but it never happened to me
before so but we had a mission so we needed needed to get to vegas so we went to all these car rentals
we went to enterprise like the hertz i love this and all this and we were literally begging for the
car to get it and like drive to vegas and we did it we fucking took a van and we went to vegas so it
was fucking wild bro that's soft because i just googled that you can walk to vegas
it's just 100 hours of walking which i can imagine uh showbiz can do so yeah
i actually remember that story but i think it's also like 10 years ago. Yeah, it's something like 2016 or something.
Oh my God, 2016.
Damn.
I even did this like David Copperfield shit, you know?
Can you tell me why did you fly to fucking Vegas
instead of buying ETH or, you know,
thinking about buying ETH in 2017?
Like, what's going on, bro?
Like, that was a mistake.
Instead of gambling
right yeah i don't know i don't have answer for that i was actually thinking about if i
if i didn't spend any money on food uh and i bought uh with that money bitcoin in 2009 man
uh i would be a billionaire now bro go download a game called pop slots it's a stupid slot machine game and it gets you slot
points for for shit in vegas so i've already booked i booked five nights but i got two nights
free because i play this slot machine game and i've cashed in points i also got i got a half
price um i got a half price helicopter tour booked for the Grand Canyon and it was buy one get one free. So I consider that half price. And but I got to switch hotels in the middle. So I got two nights at one hotel and one night free.
And then I got one night at one hotel and two nights free because I cashed in my points.
Bro.
I, yeah, I can't imagine like, um, I, I, I traveled to Vegas long, long, long, long, long, long time ago, man.
And I remember one thing that really stuck in my mind
and there was a huge disaster because i was i was in the hotel room and there was like uh you know
there were no dvds when i was there it's a really long time ago and you could watch a movie right
you just pick a movie in tv and you watch one and you're like oh i don't like this one so you watch
another one and i didn't speak english back then don't like this one. So you watch another one.
And I didn't speak English back then, right?
I just look at the images.
But there was like an announcement or some shit like that, that every time you start the new movie, you pay $20.
I was like, oh, I don't like this one.
I'm going this one.
I'm going this one.
It cost like 800 bucks for the movies in the 90s, right?
Man, my parents, they almost killed me for that because we were like, oh, I don't like this movie, man. Let's watch this one. We're switching movies in the 90s, right? Man, my parents, they almost killed me for that
because we were like, oh, I don't like this movie, man.
Let's watch this one.
We're switching movies all the time.
Like we play those movies like 24 seven
and it was crazy.
So yeah, I can't wait to go there.
I think we were in the Excalibur Hotel,
which is absolutely crazy.
I just like, I can't believe it, man.
I think it's trash.
I don't know.
What are some good ones? Showbiz, go ahead, man. I think it's trash. I don't know what what are some good good ones showbiz go ahead man
Give us some alpha
Oh shit showbiz got stuck with his hand up
The wind is nice
Oh, sorry man, as soon as I went to go click on the unmute my
You kick beast out man you you can like unmute and you kick beast out of this thing.
Oh, damn.
No, the phone, my...
I'm on an iPhone, so the phone closed out.
So I had to open it back up.
Because I was on a different screen.
It just closed out on me because I'm on my laptop
getting ready for this mint.
And, yeah, you know, when you go on a different screen,
your phone closes
But I heard you guys talking about me, man, and driving cross country.
I just love driving, man.
I've driven from Connecticut to California, California to Connecticut and everywhere in
between.
Right.
You know, I've driven from England, you know, went to the, went, used the channel,
used the ferry and drove to Paris, drove to Belgium, drove to Germany, you know?
So I love driving, man, you know?
So I think when, when I'm driving, we always like right now, a lot of people know me driving
to Connecticut a lot in different places,
right? Florida. When I go, it's usually the family going with me to Connecticut, right? So we get to
load up whatever we want because we're going for like a month, month and a half in the summer
to visit and hang out with family, right? And so the kids get to bring whatever they want.
And it's just so easier to pack up the SUV.
We've got a big seven-seater SUV and pack it up and just be on the road, right?
And just stop and see family and friends along the way, right?
So that's kind of like why we do it versus flying.
Flying, you get one or two 50-pound suitcase.
You got to pay for it.
They charge your arm and leg where I load up the suv i can do whatever the hell i want my wife be like are we leaving today
no we'll leave tomorrow you know it's like i'm not in a rush right so yeah that's kind of like
why i love it whereas if i'm flying i'm stuck to schedule, like a plane ride or whatever, you know?
So, yeah.
Yeah, I got you there.
I got you there.
It's so much easier for sure if you can.
But, yeah, in Europe.
Oh, shit, man.
My iPhone probably died right now.
I don't know.
Oh, my God.
What the hell?
Can you hear me, guys?
Yeah. No, no, no. holy smoke did the screen turn black and I was like I don't see anything I was like it's because Rita
joined the state yeah Rita's here the legend come on man I have to you know
this is Rita and me and all the motherfuckers in Vegas! Let's fuck them in the go, baby!
Guys, it's not even May and we are already crazy about Vegas, so oh my god. Rita, welcome here, legend! How you doing, man?
Hi, man, grateful. No, because dubai it's art appreciation day uh so i wanted to come up
uh and uh thank you grateful with gutsby hunter and ape in progress uh for your great taste in art
and also money i see him down there so i just wanted to come up and congratulate all the
amazing art appreciation appreciators and that's about it.
Thank you so much, man.
You are the real one.
And I think you have amazing, amazing taste in art.
Yeah, probably the best.
That's why you are behind the G's, right?
Wait, I'm trying to get the Connect Four there.
Yeah, got it.
On the left, we got a four.
Ernest came in sweeping right there.
Rita, you know, quick question.
Are you going to Vegas?
That's not a question.
You don't fucking ask me that question.
What's wrong with you, Grateful?
Of course I'm going to Vegas.
Vegas, baby.
Vegas, baby.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God, Rita.
It's got to be crazy.
It will be my first time in Vegas.
Hell, yeah.
That sounds great.
So you can go 100%, man.
And I know you will.
I went 100% in Portugal and Hong Kong,
so I'm definitely going 100% in Vegas.
Let's go.
That's got to be so dope.
I'll have to show you my roulette approach to roulette so you guys can win
my secret formula what's that i'm only doing i'm only doing strip clubs
only doing strip clubs uh they've got roulette tables in the strip clubs i think
yeah that's the one we're booking for G's then. Alright. Oh my god.
Alpha Alert here, guys.
Alpha Alert here.
Strip club for G's holders.
MF first.
But sorry, Gatsby, you need to be over 21.
So you can stand outside.
But we all got to get in.
But I think you can get married, Gatsby, even under 21.
So you're still good.
You still have some experience.
You underestimate my European capacity to get into clubs at an early age, bro.
You know, it is what it is.
Got to handle it, bro.
What kind of capacity, bro?
Like you in Spain when I was 11, I was in Spain.
They gave me beer, wine, cigar.
They let me into clubs.
Like what kind of capacity are you talking about?
No, that's true, though.
That's true.
Yeah, not a lot.
You know what I did, bro?
You know what I did, bro, to get into clubs?
I used T-Pex, bro, to put the little...
Change the date at the end with T-Pex.
And I put...
With a pen, I would literally finish the number I wanted.
And they would let me in everywhere.
Bro, but what gets me, if you know what Tippex is, you're definitely over 21.
Bro, I'm 29 now.
So I love that Grateful is going to keep me young forever.
Tino is 100.
So this dungeon, bro.
We can switch up some years, bro
Tino, actually remember
There was no Las Vegas
And Tino remembered that
Yeah, I was building it
Guys, we are minting
We are minting, I already minted mine
I think I was
I'm probably gonna have number one and two
Make sure to check
Chef Pancho, I'm gonna pin it up to the top.
Oh, come on guys, but you can mint the whole collection! There is no limit!
If you're rich, you have effort to get minted out! Oh shit, I shouldn't say that in front of Rita
because Rita is crazy, right? Rita's like, oh yeah, max mint, okay, it's gone.
Rita wants all the lasagna to himself. Shit, I missed Clickpunch.
I minted 5,500.
I'm sorry.
Oh, shit.
It's not working for me.
What's going on, man?
Oh, shit.
OK, live minting experience.
I'm just minting.
I'm just minting, guys.
We need some music.
Oh, yeah, I should play the music, right?
So let's play some music for the Mint. 30 seconds. Thank you. Let's go, got mine!
Yeah, Blavor works like magic, it's super easy.
Let's go, let's go, man.
Congrats, Pancho!
And now you have to keep pushing, you have to keep pushing. So you mint it
out. There's 57 minutes for the
OG face.
And can people still get on the
list, Pancho, or it's too late? Or can
they still, like... We could add you
probably to the VIP...
So guys, send feed pics.
Send DMs to Pancho.
Feed pics.
And he will get you on that
VIP list if you are not
there yet. And let's go.
Yeah.
And you may want to strategically
mint because there's prizes throughout
in the little prize acorns.
You know.
Mint 10, then maybe
mint 2 now, 2 later, but just
keep on top of it.
Let's go, man.
I'm having such a strange problem.
Maybe play the wheel.
Does anyone have this?
I can't say like my wallet connection on Blvver either, like on the top right for some reason on the website.
So I can't main or do anything.
Like it doesn't load.
Bro, it doesn't work on
blackberry or nokia yeah no i know nobody no for real it's not i don't know this is very strange
bro i can't even see like my disconnected wallet speaking yep yeah uh what what got to be uh close
the metamask up your own phone i'm guessing right because I just had the same issue but I managed to do it no I'm actually on Mac bro I'm on my
computer trying it like always on Chrome and just trying with MetaMask I have the
same thing with my phone I closed the application and restarted it and it
connected yeah I did that already so I restarted my Chrome as well I don't know
man this is very weird because I don't even see like you know the top right widget with my wallet connected and the option to log out and log in.
What the hell?
I'm going to figure out.
Yeah, we don't care.
I don't know.
Probably a cache.
I minted, grateful minted, Tino minted, so we don't really care what you do.
Probably a cache if you do.
This motherfucker, bro.
Yeah, bro.
Those teenagers these days, bro.
Like, they can't even mint mint i don't understand it man
we 10 000 tabs issue uh in the in the cash it might help i don't know
yeah it didn't all like for you can also pay cash you can also pay cash
you know you know tell him tell him back in my day we day, we used to mint on a black and white screen. Bro, I'm bringing a plastic bag full of cash to Pancho to Vegas to mint mine.
He was talking something about cash, so I'm hoping for that.
Bro, Tino used to mint to DVD.
VHS, bro.
VHS.
Whitelist on a floppy disk, bro.
Yeah.
Tino is probably the only one who was part of the first flight and landing on the moon
so yeah they were brothers the Wright brothers who actually made the first flight Tino
I wasn't there.
Could you share more details about it?
Let's not talk about it.
It was staged.
Okay, fuck.
But guys, go Minder.
I also see Sarah, and I see her amazing Sarah Stargirl Saloon Avatar.
I'm you know, I just check my wallet. I was like, oh shit. I have those and they are beautiful
You know, I just checked my wallet.
I was like, oh, shit, I have those, and they are beautiful.
So if you're also looking for 3d avatar for other side, you can get G's
But Rita of course you can get a Stargirl Saloon, right? So
They are not competing. You can get both. They are going in the set. It's beautiful beautiful match and
Yeah, I. I tried making a couple, but the jeans was a bit too big and the Stargirl has run away officially.
But I got two males actually. I actually got some very cool ones.
Loved it.
Hey guys, I'm getting called away to another space with air.
100%. Pancho, go ahead. Good luck. What do you mean chef? Keep going!
Okay I'm minting, where are you going chef Pancho?
Are you minting all 5,000 of them? You know I actually did max to see if it

Come on, Pancho!
Give me your next!
Minty Day, baby!
Chef, which space are you going to?
Hell yeah. hell yeah i see sarah joining us here on stage sarah welcome here congrats on your mint of course it's beautiful art i love those oh my god can't wait to have them on my other deeds how are you
doing today hey what's up i'm doing good um yeah i jumped in
when you guys were talking about eight fest and i'm so excited um i missed last year's one so i'm
stoked to see you guys soon you have a direct flight from hawaii right well um i'm actually
already gonna be in vegas because i'm gonna be going to like a rock concert the weekend before
so yeah i'm gonna be in vegas for like quite be going to like a rock concert the weekend before
so yeah I'm gonna be in Vegas for like quite some time and then I guess it'll roll into Ape Fest
Nice! Now we know why Hugo chose Vegas because of Sarah is gonna be there so this I do might as well
I knew that I knew that sounds what kind of concert who's performing? It's the When You Were Young festival.
The headliners this year is, I think, Blink-182 and Panic at the Disco.
There's just a bunch of all-
You can't go, Tino.
Yeah, that's a dope lineup, Sarah.
Did you see the one in Chicago?
Tino you can't go, it's cold one year you were young.
Tino, you can't go. It's called When You Were Young.
There was no rock music when Tino was young.
Yeah, orchestra only.
I remember those days, you know. It was a huge innovation when...
Tino on concert when he was young!
When Beethoven came up with a huge innovation leaving out the voice out of
opera for classical music and I think that was huge. Tino, you remember this one, right?
This was your first concert? Of course!
Of course!
Hold on.
Yeah, I love it.
But Bling 182 is awesome. I love them.
Oh my god, that's gotta be a lot of fun.
But Sarah, any news on Mint? How did you enjoy that? What's going on right now?
Sorry, I had my baby come in the room. Yeah, so the Mint was awesome.
I'm really grateful for all the support with the drop.
So right now what me and my little team is doing is getting everybody's full body images ready.
And so I don't know if you guys are all familiar with like JBF,
but for Juicebox friends,
I had it so that in the captions for every single NFT listing,
you can click the link
and then it'll take you to the full body image
just right on the same NFT page.
So I'm going to be doing that with star drops.
But yeah, when we did the drop,
we were kind of working with the thank you deadline, right? Because I was trying to get a grant. And so now that we've kind of passed that, sorry, I'm kind of distracted. Now that we passed the grant, we got the grant, it's all good. Now I'm letting my team work at like more of a healthy pace because we were like doing like 24 hour Like work days just to like meet the grant deadlines. But yeah, so full bodies coming
Approximately at the end of the month and then a little bit further out
Is when the website should be ready with the full like model claim and all that good stuff
Sounds good sounds good. I'm really, I cannot wait to actually,
oh my God, we have also Bored Ape.
Oh my God, such a beautiful logo in the audience showed up.
But I can't wait to actually be as my avatar in the other side.
Guys, that logo in the audience right now.
Bored Ape Yuck Club.
Four years ago, they were born.
It was the first day, like the second day of the mint ride.
And they were like, holy shit, what's gonna happen?
It's not minting out.
And then, magic happened.
A few more days, it was gone.
All of my apes were minted on 1st of May.
I don't know why.
Weird, weird ride.
But yeah, that's why we're gonna have a huge celebration here.
Huge celebration here on May 1st.
It's gonna be crazy. Oh my god.
Tino, he's going
for streaking through the streets.
He's going to
tattoo the BAYC logo
on his ass. So it's gonna be crazy.
Definitely join us next week. But
yeah, Sarah, big congrats to you
uh love the work it's it's incredible so yeah I also let's go let's go and can't wait to see
you in Vegas it's gonna be crazy um I'm so and her hand up so Joyce welcome here how you do it hello
hello I just came up to say hello to everybody and to ask a question I'm
trying to mint the bubblegum and I have this alert I'm doing I'm using my
delicate wallet which I used successfully with no problem for the Mintators.
So now I have this exclamation point.
And it says different account selected.
This request is for a different account than the one selected in your wallet to use another account connected to the site.
And every time I go to confirm that, that alert comes up.
You know, but it's, it's a delegate for the site that holds my portals.
So I don't understand.
Is this the same wallet you have the shadows on?
Yes.
Well, it's the same, it's the same wallet that I've used for ETH for the shadows, and I connected it also to my ApeChain vault wallet.
So it covers for both of them.
I had a similar issue this morning with a different thing altogether, but I removed the shadow delegate.
I removed the shadow delegation and it worked fine.
So if I remove the shadow delegation and then delegate...
Listen, this is what worked for me, but I don't know if this will work for you or not, Joyce.
I don't know what to tell you.
But, yeah, I think so.
But I don't know if that's the right way to do it.
But that's what I do.
It's a different site altogether, not this.
Well, you know me, Rita.
I always have my heart in my mouth when I do anything that has to do with Wallace.
So the thought of undelegating the shadows and then redelegating them again, that would take me all day.
I don't know about other people.
I was actually connecting to Dashboard and it wouldn't let me connect.
To your own dashboard.
To Dashboard, it wouldn't let me verify.
But as soon as I removed the shadow, it worked properly.
Okay.
Joyce, I would probably DM Pancho.
Please don't follow my instruction, Joyce.
Okay.
No, probably DM him.
I suspect, because confirm is lit up,
I suspect that if I click confirm, the mint will go through,
and it will figure itself out.
But it doesn't look like, first of all, nothing dangerous could happen because nothing is actually in the wallet except for enough ETH to do this mint.
Oh, wait, wait, wait, Joyce.
Joyce, are you trying to mint with a wallet that's paired to another wallet and you're trying to send those NFTs to that second wallet?
That's what you want to do so you're using the authority of your primary wallet
to allow a secondary wallet to mint and you want those nfts to go to that wallet correct
i'm i'm using a hot wallet i created as as the delegate for the cold wall
as as the delegate for the cold wall
yeah so all it's telling you is that the authority address of the wallet that has the authority is not the same wallet that you're trying to send them to
oh okay
so what it all is saying is like hey you ordered pizza to timmy's house but you want it sent to johnny's house
yeah yeah wait wait i think that's what it's telling you
no joyce joyce you have the wrong wallet connected to Blubber. Disconnect from Blubber and connect with the wallet that you're currently using.
And Joyce, take your time. There's still like 43 minutes. Don't rush it. I think the second round will also give you opportunity to mint.
And yeah, just don't make, you know, any mistakes there.
If it doesn't go through,
tell me how many you want.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I was just going to say the same thing.
So we got you Joyce.
Yeah.
Okay.
Disconnect and connecting.
Make sure it's connected on your metamask.
It's,
it's,
you know, it's, it's the, it's the on your Metamask.
It's the Delegate XYZ wallet that is supposedly reading the Ape Chain vault.
And if I connect it on ETH, it's going to read the ETH vault.
It should.
George, how many do you want?
I'll mix up for you and send them over.
You can send me the Ape Plan. Let's not get you connected to anything weird okay we don't want you exactly i love this this is security 101 i love this okay okay um thank you two okay i got you
let's go okay thank you anyways guys just to refresh just to refresh the room real quick we're talking about
the man that uh chef pancho poppins has uh it's been on the top uh he's been a community members
member forever he's been building you probably saw him on ape fest on different in different
art basel and different kind of events maybe with his bubble gum machine
and you know if you want to support him
he talked about his collection
for several times
on our show and other shows
so we're talking about this mint
just to refresh the room
and we were talking about Ape Fest Vegas
because we are fucking excited
Joyce I minted two for you
but I can't send them to you until after trading starts.
No, no, it's true.
It's not a joke.
It's true.
I know.
I saw that.
I know it's true, bro.
I love that.
So, Rita, I'll DM you my wallet.
Once they're open for trading,
I'll send you the two I minted for you.
Okay?
Okay. And we can do that. Thank you. But they're fake. trading, I'll send you the two I minted for you, okay? Okay.
And we can do that.
But until after a minute.
Fixed, guys.
This man saves me all the time.
He is the nicest guy on earth.
I met him for like five minutes at ApeFest and I'll never forget it.
So, thank you, dear.
It's our pleasure.
Don't worry, Josh.
He not only saved you I see
Lost in the audience
and Rita always
saved me
and Lost
he said that I don't say it
but Lost always fixed me
I don't know what does it mean but he was like man
I'm fixing Aquamarine Apes
and I don't see it that way
I think it's downgrade but yeah lost try to fix my ape many times yeah but I also brought Baka back let's
say hi to Baka, Duck and Tino if you can pick five people so guys retweet the
space five people will get follow the ape NFT last chance now so Tino you can
spin that shit pick five people we say hi to baka duck and uh
yeah let's go baka how you doing man i saw you in other spaces how was that uh i need to listen
to recording yeah uh no man super bullish on think and their team what they're building
uh you know i saw the the intern buy like 70s or meant like 70th worth.
So bullish, bullish.
They're building something cool, utility.
They want builders on their platform.
I think it's going to be sick, dude.
This could really be massive.
I don't know, Silicon Valley type thing.
Could you give short, Alpha, about what is the agent for?
I mean, essentially it's like your personal Jarvis.
It's not one thing, it's multiple things.
It's multiple,
it's a soul that you
train and then you can do multiple things with it.
Whether it's, you can do
MiBets, it's also on other page, you can do your 3 with it whether it's you can do me bits it's also on
other page you can do your 3d avatar and some stuff with it but also you can train your agent
to do multiple uh multiple stuff check your email do your taxes do a lot of different stuff that's
that's really cool but it's your agent basically you're connecting giving your
pfps all one way or the other whether it's your agent basically you're connecting giving your pfp a soul one way or
the other whether it's 2d or 3d did you meet rito no he's he's sending me something oh yeah dude
nice congrats no and the artist the artist is really good, too. Just looking at the tokens, it's like a trip.
I made a post earlier.
Yeah, there's a TGE next month.
You get an airdrop if you mint it.
Do you mind if I pin it up, Grateful?
For sure, pin it up, man.
Cool.
Yeah, the Think token.
So basically, the earlier you minted the the
more tokens you got um it started with 5000 and you basically just subtract your token id number
from that and you get your token allocation all the way down to 2500 but i don't think 2500 were minted so all good there.
Dope, I'll check it out after space I think it ends soon right?
It actually just ended.
Oh shit!
It just ended yeah.
Unfortunately.
I was like I'm gonna check it after space but yeah okay no okay I'm not gonna check it after space. But yeah, okay. No, okay.
I'm not going to check it out after space.
But yeah, I think it's cool.
I love those AI agents.
I saw that MeeBit video or animation.
Incredible.
So yeah, bringing these into life, it's a game changer.
So yeah.

Dojo. Just scared, but you made
it out with your legs.
Dojo on top. Donk Sox on top. On top. Just scared, but you made it out with your legs
Yeah, because dojo watch probably one of the best movies right with a
Sasha Baron Cohen, I think and his rule is you the foot first or you're the last
So he followed that rule.
And Showbiz, I know you were scared, but I believe you were first in your destination.
We got to our destination.
We did, we did.
After that, I think I drove the rest of the places we went.
Just for safety and security. Funny thing, Grateful grateful i actually met will ferrell while he
was filming that scene at that bar holy shit are you kidding me bro you're right

because will ferrell is probably the best actor ever. And you can look at the movies, right?
The Step Brothers, Old School, right?
Those are like wedding crashers also.
Like, yeah, it's like they don't do movies like that anymore.
Of course, Talladega Nights, Eurovision, guys.
It's crazy.
That's crazy shit.
Like, if you want to learn about European culture, like, watch that.
It's crazy.
Bro, that's my favorite movie. That, honestly, that's my favorite Will Ferrell movie. I don't know why
That and the one where they sing as the Eurovision people from Scandinavia
Those are my two favorite movies
Him with him with Napoleon Dynamite is just a fucking powerhouse with a powerhouse and then him with the chick from boogie nights
being a singer in Scandinavia and never once not believing his shit the whole
time I love that fucking guy as an actor did you realize that he sings in all of
his movies in all of them he. He's such a good singer.
He's incredible.
I think he's gonna be,
I really hope he's going to perform on A-Fest.
That would be great.
Like from the, that's from old school, right?
When he sings on the funeral.
Oh my God.
It's beautiful.
I know it sounds bad, but it's beautiful i know it sounds bad but it's beautiful i love the
other guys that's that one's of course and then uh land of the lost is like oh my god bro land of

Yeah, everyone's confused now.
I know everyone's leaving right now because everyone's like, oh, no one's leaving.
Okay.
Not everyone's clapping their head right now.
Probably everyone's loving movies with Will Ferrell.
Yeah, I do that.
I watch all of them.
I love them.
Land of the Lost, man.
You're probably the only person that actually knows that movie that I know.
Tino, have you seen Land of the Lost?
