Come on, folks, you baby.
Let's go. 30 days late, it's way become a wonderbump Twix and size when we ride throughout the Golden Coast

Feelin' like I'm Ralph Sampson
Fallin' never fallin', baby, I'm a champion Let it rip like I'm slagsampson Falling, never falling, baby, I'm a champion
Let it rip like I'm slags, make it pop like Coughlin
Whatever we did, they're never trying to let me off
Got a call from a boss Told me meet me out in 50's, count out at all office
Pull up in the U.S. with the glom, with the glom
Walkin' through the gallery and see my NFT on the wall. I had to take a second light, dawg.
This all started from a dream that turned into reality.
Could've been gone for the pin or maybe casualty.
Knew it wasn't solid, but three just pulled it out of me.
Immersive experiences, you came back.
When the press comes up, you got one chance you lay.
On board and through education
So when we touch the mom that we are on, man
Feeling like dripping in some Giorgio
Tilted Cartier's ladies way
We're coming on the boat
Twins and sides when we ride
We're off the golden coast
Like nobody and everything
We're not on our own
When you see it, girl, let it dash
Let the facts be done
Keep it treated and mad Got all that stuff I'm on my own, when you see it, girl, let it dash. Other facts, we dance. Keep you dreaming of my ass.
Got all that sex, man, sitting in my wallet.
It's your network, got your network.
Think about it. I'm gonna play my best, I'm gonna play my best
I'm gonna play my best

really just focusing on building and uh like i told you in the past and we've talked in private
conversations about how ape chain is in terms of the community and the builders out here and this ecosystem is thriving it just needs more
attention and you know today for sure to kick off this apes gone wild i want to really bring some
some big hitters to the space um obviously we got we got ape church on on stage now i think it's
coco behind there as well we plan on having a lost and spank come through too uh we may have some
other guests coming through as well tonight, including Simple Farmer
from Clutch Markets and Clutch Puppies.
We also have Sharon here,
who's kind of in the ape ecosystem,
but not on Ape Chain,
but she's definitely here.
Some of you guys have heard of her
and we're probably going to get rolling
with her tonight
before maybe Ralph gets here
unless Ralph's already here.
But we're going to definitely
keep this conversation light.
Obviously, the guests on stage,
they have a lot to add value to what they're building,
and I want to make sure they get their time as well.
But, yeah, I just want to maybe go around the room and say what's up to everybody,
make sure they're all checked in.

You know, Muthan.
Look, we won't spend too much time today debating it.
But when he asked me about what he thought of these apes when he got his, I actually knew this was one of his picks.
And I said, yes, this is definitely the one you should go with.
I was focused on an orange background and there was
one, there was one that I really loved and, you know, it slipped through my, it slipped through
my fingers. But at the end of the day, uh, this guy that, that I picked up, uh, he's perfect for
my brand and what I'm building. And so I'm super pumped about it.

have a spot left open correct type I got two spots left correct okay yeah let's keep it let's keep it
like that and everybody who's trying to get up just hang tight and yep get to everybody actually
we've got three spots technically because Prince Prince is under two accounts so if he needs to
he'll drop down his uh his personal account but either way it's all good um what's up Rob that that hand's tripping me out bro I think your
hands up all the time Robby there are you there I think that should just be part of his PFP I kind
of like that just you know we should put a farming ring around his PIP. Yeah, I just think I hate it to be the new meta.
Jesus Christ.
All right, well, whatever.
Why don't we roll into this?
I know there's a few more guests coming through.
We'll get into what's going on in a sec here.
But Baka, I was going to say real quick, I know you're a Houston boy.
I don't know your legacy in NBA and history in NBA in terms of basketball
from, like, predating you, but do you know Ralph Sampson?
I do not, brother.
He's coming on.
So Ralph Sampson played for the Houston Rockets.
He's an NBA Hall of Famer, so he played there many years.
So you got a local Houston boy.
Yeah, he came out of Virginia.
He was actually Hall of Fame, high school, and college, and pros,
which is there's only a handful of people that actually hit all three.
I think he was one of the most sought-after rookies coming in of all time.
You know, he's played 19. he came in the draft in 83.
He was part of like the legendary team of the Twin Towers.
So that was Akeem Olajuwon and Raul Sampson.
I think this goes back to the heyday of basketball.
You know, Magic, Kareem, Jordan, all the rest. He finished up in, I think his final
year was a 95, four-time NBA All-Star, like I said, MVP All-Star, and ended up in the Hall of
Fame, obviously, with the NBA. So he's been working with me for years, and now we're about to do some big stuff,
and we'll talk a little bit about that
and some of the projects we're working on.
But he's going to be here tonight.
Hopefully, I know Pamela's in the room.
We definitely want to get Pamela up here
because I know she's a big Ralph fan.
When Ralph comes up, if there's anybody up here
who wants to ask a question or just shoot it around with him,
definitely let us know. It's a unique opportunity, obviously, to get anybody up here who wants to ask a question or just shoot it around with him definitely let us know
unique opportunity obviously to get him up here
he used to come on the spaces a lot
back in the day
and now you'll be seeing him coming in here once in a while
talking about the new stuff we're building
together so it's pretty exciting
if you guys are in front of a computer
or on your phone just go
google Ralph Sampson.
So he came in the year before what was considered the year of the rookies.
He came in first.
He was first round pick, first overall pick, 83.
Yeah, because 84, 85 was considered year of the rookies.
That was like Akeem, Jordan, Stockton, Malone, Barkley, all those.
So he came in right then, right there,
and played with the Rockets till 95.
Well, this probably predates Baca,
but anyways, he's a legend of the Houston times, bro.
So he'll be happy to hear you're from Houston. But let's's let's get into it maybe we'll get into with what sharon's got
going on with ralph um but anyways everybody welcome to the space um you know my boy nifty
and i came together to start running these wednesday spaces um to bring a lot of communities
and projects together we feel like this is going to be a staple for us uh going forward on wednesdays
with some some amazing guests and tonight we have an all-star lineup for sure. But before we get
started, I know Rob has his hand up, I think finally. Rob, what's up? So it is part of his
PFP. No, he has no idea. Yo, did I get you guys? Yeah. Like, you know, I got to do what I got to
do to get eyes on Polygon. So thanks for being here, Rob. We appreciate appreciate you i don't know how to follow up after that one i'm
gonna but oh i mean we're gonna talk to sharon who's on base but either way we're gonna talk
to her because she's got some some cool stuff she's done and and and really focusing on the uh
the ape experience so sharon can we talk about it now let's go let's do this yeah yeah sure man
sure yeah let's talk about it what does this crowd want to know because i mean i have questions for them man they want to know obviously
like who you are and this documentary you came out with yeah so uh so yeah i'm a an entertainment
person i built a couple uh low budget studios i've made a ton of films i've produced some big
hit shows for netflix etc made a movie with Ferrell, talked about not one of these spaces.
So I'm an entertainment conventional normie cat.
And then I was working at a real time animation company called Mindshow about four or five
years ago during the whole rise of everything.
And I ended up talking to a bunch of NFT folks.
So Stoner Cats, which is featured in the movie with Mila Kunis. The CryptoPunks came to me and we were going to maybe build like a narrative world for them.
Like I got it. I kind of was on the edge of the space and I was working with some apes to maybe develop, you know, some content.
And then after the crash, I was like, oh, this is a really interesting world and story. And so I ended up pitching a doc where basically I have five apes tell the story of what
happened from like 2000 to 2003, basically. And so it's a funny punk rock, weird sort of like
South Park meets Daily Show kind of thing. And then the thing that we did that's kind of
interesting that I'm not sure, you know, the experimental part is we released it first on a,
on a, uh, with a company called stuff.io, who's doing a media web three token model. And, you know,
I'm a person who normally would have just gone to Netflix or Hulu or those, those are my
relationships. But we started here to like do the movie to the community to just kind of experiment
and see how it would go. It's been interesting, you know, like I've met a lot of cool
people, but the idea of buying a movie that's also sort of an NFT as a media token, and yes,
it's on base, is like, it's been interesting, you know, like it's up and down. It's not like a huge
breakout hit, I'm not going to lie, but it's also been a really interesting way to kind of
meet the community and talk to people and figure out where we should go you know like how to do screenings how to have people own their content
the whole idea is you can own it you can rent it you can have screenings some people had a screening
last weekend on the beach for an nft community that was cool um but how does media kind of cross
into your world you know that's what i'm trying to figure out from my little spot over here um
so that's what i'm listening to you guys for honestly it's like you you know you with everybody sees ip and and
is trying to figure out a way to build projects and build worlds and i'm here to learn you know so
yeah hype did that make sense man hype's my boy go ahead said
That's my boy.
Go ahead, Sid.
Hey, can you hear me?
You're good, brother. Go ahead.
Hey, sorry, bro. I was just sending out a DM, and I'm just getting Ralph situated.
Yeah, I'm real excited about what you've built, and I'm definitely, you know, we kind of tapped on it when we were in the space together,
hoping to connect behind the scenes and see how we might be able to connect some dots on, you know, what we're building now in Las Vegas and some of the different opportunities to take, you know, different content that we're creating and that we're partnering on to syndicate it into, you know, multiple locations around the world.
So I'm excited to talk to you about that and your future plans with, you know, streaming this content or making it available for
some kind of in-person experience. Yeah, I love that idea. And I want to have screenings where
the community is at and it's a worldwide community. So we're just, yeah, like I think I would love to
do a screening in Vegas for Ape Fest and the distributors down. So we're, we're sort of playing
around. Yeah, we're open guys, but I, I just want to like hang out and laugh with a bunch of apes to be totally honest it's kind of my dream right now that's what i look for in vegas
so we'll see we'll see if we can put the pieces together but i i just wanted to tell like my
version of the story going through it with a bunch of guys that i really liked and the the kind of
dream of the space and also make fun of vcs and you know all those kind of people that I was
interacting with um so sure Sharon tell tell people like unless you know you want to tell
them exactly like what the supply is you know um where they can mint on on uh oh yeah yeah yeah I
know I should do my speak yeah there's like yeah yeah it's minting on a site called stuff.io
we um yeah like we we we've got like 10,000 copies
that you can mint.
Basically for how I'm looking at it now,
it's sort of a premier edition of the movie.
So if you buy it,
I'm literally gonna reach out to the community
and be like, hey,
do you think we should stream this on YouTube with Snoop?
Or should we go to Netflix for two weeks?
Like, I don't know.
I'm gonna actually kind of engage with the community
about the distribution model
and like the screenings and thoughts and stuff. That's kind of my, my goal at this time is like, how do I engage with
the people that we're in first? Because it's going to have another life. Does it have more value
after a window on Netflix? Does it have less? Like, I don't know, man. So like, that's, I'm
sort of on this journey, experimental distribution journey. So I'm hoping that early adopters who get
in and buy it and own it can be a part of the process and the ride with me. So I'm hoping that early adopters who get in and buy it and own it can be
a part of the process and the ride with me. So yeah. And so, but stuff.io, you can buy it with
a credit card or on base. Yeah. And they've got some other cool stuff that they're doing as well.
So they're really trying to like be a place for media to sell content. They've got some big stuff
coming up they're going to announce soon. So check them out. Be aware. Because media, it's all changing so fast.
And entertainment's changing. You don't really own anything like Amazon, Netflix. All those
people can take stuff away from you if you buy it or rent it that you don't own it. So this is a
new model that we're trying. And so check it out. But go talk to Ralph now because Ralph is a legend.
I can't compete with Ralph.
Ralph is Ralph.
I'm trying to.
I don't know if he's in here yet, but he's coming any second.
We're just waiting on him.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Cool, cool.
I'm happy to warm up the room for Ralph.
I appreciate it.
And by the way, Sharon, I sent you a message.
So we'll chop it up, I'm sure, later this week.
Yeah, I'd love to man yeah
for sure and look
there's a lot of crazy shit in this
space guys lots of people coming to you with different things
and I'm like you know
I mean we're let's see
somebody just posted something we're up to about
five I think we're at 550 or
something that have been minted
lots of people coming offer
weird things and I'm trying to figure out
what's cool,
what gets to the community and what isn't.
I'm not interested in like,
it's not as much a cash grab is like,
how do you build a world?
And I really want this movie to be a bridge to Normie and D-Gen.
So both sides matter to me.
So that's what I'm trying to do.
So there you go.
we appreciate you,
I know that you,
and Jeff have been talking about making a documentary on the
life of hype.
So I don't know who could contain the power, right?
No, no, no.
We appreciate you.
Like I said, you know, all the, all the best of luck with the, obviously the documentary.
I think it's really cool that you've incorporated web three.
It's important to get that exposure on the entertainment side, especially, you know,
the adoption of of Normies getting into this ecosystem.
And I think it's it's it's going to do well.
So I'm looking forward to everybody that's gotten this and are going to be watching this
because I think it's a really, really cool way to really put the board apes out there.
I mean, a lot of us in the room are apes.
Yeah. And I think just just doing that and I'm looking forward to, you know,
continually building this relationship. So, of course, you know, continually building this relationship.
So, of course, you know, stick around if you have time.
Stay and hang out.
Yeah, I'll hang and listen.
I just don't know how to move, man.
All right.
All right.
Thanks, guys.
Talk to you soon.
Yo, before we move forward, and I know Ralph's going to be here in a second,
I want to just say what's up to Marathon and NGB.
So let me just say what's up to these guys first, and then we'll see if Ralph's here.
What up, Marathon? What's good, brother? Yo, yo, yo, what's cracking?
What's cracking, brother? Good, good. I'm going to bring up
I'm going to bring up, there we go. Bring up your sister, bro.
All right, word. Hopefully we can get up here. I know, right?
So we're going to bring up your sister and then I appreciate you being here, brother, of course.
Most people are like, why is Marathon here?
What's he got to offer?
Trust me, he's got some stuff to offer.
I love basketball.
Hey, to death.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You're that guy, man.
So definitely I'm glad you're here.
I'm sure Ralph's going to love hearing who's going to be on the other line of your sister's PFP.
That'd be awesome.
Hopefully he'll pull up.
I told him.
I said, hey, man, just listen in, bro.
Your boy Ralph's about to be speaking.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So, yeah, we'll try to get your sister up there.
I know she's down there.
I sent the request.
Knowing her, she's probably busy doing something.
Yeah, we'll bring up in a sec, 100%.
But, yo, let's say what's up to NGB real quick,
and then, Sid, you let me know when Ralph's here.
But, NGB, what's up, brother?
GMGM, man, just got done giving away some balls on the other side,
some no prize tickets. You know, if you missed the memo,
make sure you burn all of those no prize tickets for your shot at that code
or some new community sweeps.
Let's go. Yeah, we're definitely going to talk about some balls tonight.
And you guys might be like, well, what are we talking about here?
But Spen's definitely going to be talking about a lot of balls that have been going on on ape chain so
what are you talking about uh balls balls don't put me in that situation bro come on man i mean
i didn't hear what you said you're talking about what we're gonna be talking about spend's balls
all right all right i did somebody won today, or am I tripping?
Somebody won a board ape yesterday.
We'll talk about that later.
I'm sure Spinner will highlight that.
Well, actually, it was the first day,
so the second board ape in the multiball round is still there,
and the mute is still there.
We're in day three.
Oh, my God.
Day three.
It's all a blur.
Just keep clicking.
Just keep clicking and keep spinning and keep burning.
Yeah, for sure. That's all you've been Just keep clicking. Just keep clicking and keep spinning and keep burning. Yeah, for sure.
That's all you've been doing all day, right?
Well, it's been automated.
Some people are smart enough to do this now.
There's so much good technology and people being savvy.
So there are ways to do it.
But, yeah, if you don't have it, you're just basically clicking, clicking, and clicking.
So, Sid, where are we at, bro?
Just let's go to the next person.
He's on his – he texts me.
He's on his way here.
He'll be here.
Let's throw the mic to somebody else for a second, and we'll –
Yeah, 100%.

What's good?
GM, GM, how are y'all doing?
Good, good, man.
So obviously, you know,
there's a ton of people in this room
that know what Ape Games is.
A lot of people in the room that may not.
And so maybe, you know,
part of tonight's conversation
is really getting some new people
to really see what's going on in A ape chain and and i know you guys are
not only ape chain focused with some stuff you guys are doing on chain but obviously you know
working and participating in ape fest and whatnot so maybe maybe get into some of the stuff you guys
are doing for october with activations and then maybe get into some of the digital stuff you guys
just did recently yeah so um a brief my name is eddie umbiz, everyone knows me as showbiz, I'm behind the account. I'm just one of many members that's in the club and part of Ape Chain, that's part of the Ape Games team, right?
um you know through club rivalry right uh you know we we started you know if you go back to
the beginning right um the dmt and cheetahs had this rivalry you know shit talking in the club
right and and so late 2023 into 2024 you know this rivalry started with the orange backgrounds and the awkward Marines, right?
And it continued, right?
And, you know, we were on the Banana Boy space at that time.
And, you know, Alpha D-Gen and a bunch of us, you know, were talking about, you know, hosting for United Georgia Apes, you know, the tug of war, you know, at Lisbon, Portugal.
And at the same time, Hoarder and Joe Carro, Joyce, was planning these field day activities, right?
So, you know, we got on the meet at the clubhouse space and we kind of combined efforts and that's how Ape Games was formed, right?
We also had, you know, Barry, Tamu and Dobbins. Right. And recently we had added some new members, um,
you know, uh, uh, uh, Jeff and cool chick. Right. So, you know, um, it started from members in the
club, you know, wanting to have this fun experience, right, and bring it to IRL in Lisbon, Portugal.
You know, Ape Games was a fun activation that, you know, we were able to utilize the hangover
hang at Ape Fest, you know, which Yuga Labs provided that venue. We were on meetings and calls with uh the ape fest production team you know and having
you know daily meeting i mean weekly meetings with them right to plan this event because we
wanted to make sure it was a unforgettable experience right um to bring to the community
and that's how it all kind of started right right? So, you know, fun games like, you know, Cornhole, but we had a little spin on it.
We branded it with Jimmy the, you know, the monkey, you know, so we call it Dookie Hole
because Dookie Dash was going on at that time.
We had Mutant Pong, which is Bear Pong, Flip Cup, you know, Banana Boys Challenge,
putting a banana in your mouth and going through a blow-up obstacle course.
And, of course, the coveted tug-of-war with the eight teams, right, competition.
You know, during, you know, Ape Fest, Lisbon, Portugal, I mean, people had so much at Ape Games.
And, you know, we always got kudos.
And, you know, the Awkward Marines, you know, you guys got the bragging rights.
And, you know, you don't let us, you know, you don't let it go.
You know, you don't let us, you don't let it go that, hey, you guys are on, you know,
won it, right?
So we always got to hear it.
But, you know, we give you all credit for showing up and showing out.
And we want to continue that same spirit. Right. Because it's it's fun to bring people together, IRL and and have these fun activities.
And we know that not everyone can go IRL. Right.
Not everyone can go IRL, right? So the team came up with this digital competition, right?
And it started off as a badge claim on Otterpage, right? Utilizing their technology that they created, right?
So each hoarder, you know, that man, you know, he gets to work.
I mean, I don't know how he does it.
That man, you know, I know there's two of him.
There's probably triplets or quadruplets.
I don't know.
He must have cloned himself.
But he created all these badges and sent them to a lot of the community, you know, leads like yourself, Hype, you know, and so many others.
And, you know, you guys rallied your community behind this badge claim, right?
And there were 14 teams that were, you know, selected at the end of the two weeks badge claim.
And those 14 teams that were selected will be part of Abe Games Digital, which is an NFT that we're going to launch.
It's a burn to level up NFT, right?
So it's going to be 8,888 NFTs, right?
The 14 teams got GTD and everyone that participated got first come first serve
and so these 14 teams will have the opportunity to burn and level up right so it's kind of like
introverse if you remember introverse you burn two level ones um and upgrade it to level two burn two
level twos and upgrade it to a level three. But
within that, you'll have your choice of which team you want to level up to, right? So if you have,
you know, World of Things and Hoes, right? Or Board API Club and Mutant API Club,
you can burn either one and level up to which team you want to be, you know, participating as, right?
So this digital competition, you know, these 8,888 NFTs can essentially be burned to under
300 NFTs, right?
Now, we know that it's not going to be all, there's going to be six levels, right?
One to six.
And we know that not everyone is going to be able to upgrade it all the way up to level six so you know possibly some level fives or fours you
know um maybe a few level threes you know and people might be having some level ones so there'll
be um and and you know there's some utility with holding those NFTs, right?
As far as like when it comes to Ape Games IRL, right?
And so, you know, what better way than to,
the people who are not able to make it to Ape Fest, right?
Have this digital competition and we're going to have prizes, right?
And one of the main prizes we're giving out is a mutant ape, right?
So the winning team, the participants, the people who are part of that winning team
will have an opportunity to win a mutant ape, right?
So anyone from that winning team, someone will Ape, right? So anyone from that winning team will get, someone will get lucky,
right? So we kind of looking at Spotlight and the way things are going with Spotlight, like the top
100, the top 1000, right? People are able to win something for their participation and
their support, right? So there'll be some other prizes as well.
But that's essentially, you know, the digital version, right?
And it's communities rallying together, right?
And that's what it's all about, right?
Having that fun.
And, you know, it's going to translate into the IRL in October at Ape Fest, right?
Where we're going to have the competition, we're going to have the, you know, tug of war,
but we're also going to have an actual obstacle course where five-person teams can compete for a grand prize of $10,000, right?
And so, you know, those who are able to make it to IRL, they're
going to be able to compete. And, you know, so we want to bring that fun with the obstacle course,
some of the same games you played at Ape Fest, but we're going to have it be like an obstacle
course style and compete for a cash prize and other prizes as well, you know. So,
yeah, you know, we're just here to, you know, bring some fun to the community on Ape Chain.
And, you know, we've included Ape, you know, Ape Chain teams for the IRL as well. And,
you know, that competition, that digital competition matters, right? Like, let's see
who can show up and show out
you know because you might be showing up at IRL to compete right so yeah dude I mean like I said
you guys have a lot going on and you know I know that you showbiz if you know you're one of the
reasons I'm on not only on on ApeChain but you know through crossing our paths back in the day

and it's very cost affordable.
Sid, what's up?
You said Ralph is here, right?
Do you say Ralph is here?
I see Greg down there.
I don't see Ralph down there. We could definitely bring Greg up
if he's free. I haven't seen Ralph's
PFP in here at all.
So I don't know if he's having trouble in here.
So I need a little help on troubleshooting.
What's up?
For some reason, he's on an Android, and he's coming to the space,
but it won't let him toggle off anonymous.
There's no way for him to turn it off.
It just says anonymous.
Anybody in here have an Android up on stage?
I do, but I've never had an issue.
Someone else, sorry, because I see Greg Anthony in the audience here.
Yeah, Greg's here.
We're looking for Ralph.
Ralph Sampson, he's in the room as well.
Okay, sorry.
Yeah, he's been listening in, and he says that he can't toggle it off of anonymous,
and I'm trying to troubleshoot it for him. and he says that he can't toggle it off of Anonymous.
And I'm trying to troubleshoot it for him.
I've never even come in under Anonymous, so I'm not sure.
He says it's not giving him any other option.
All right, I'm going to call him back. I'm going to look online for a quick second
and definitely,
definitely want to hear more of what hoarder's up to a hype. Keep,
keep it rolling for a second. I know Greg is here.
I want to get him up here as well. So just bear with me.
Let me figure out how to get Ralph on here.
Yeah, 100%.
Thank you, brother.
Yeah. Like I said, shout out marathon, you know, you know we'll we'll probably get ralph in here
a sec but i want to just kind of i know this is not project focused but i want to i want to tap
in a marathon for a sec because you know um the reason why greg's here is because of marathon
um but yo marathon maybe just kind of give people a rundown because you are part of the community
bro so we got to celebrate you too and and give in and really connecting so you know tap in for a
minute yo yo yo yo what's cracking y'all glad to be up here on the stage man yeah shoot i do see
greg down there for sure uh but yeah um uh if anybody knows me man i play basketball i sell
candy i mean i'm i've been an ape for a minute and i love being in this space honestly ape chain on
top all day board appes on top all day.
And shoot, I can't wait for eight games.
What Vegas is about to be Liddy.
But can't wait for that and shoot, like I said,
today is the talk about basketball.
So let's talk basketball, man.
Shoot, like I said, I grew up playing basketball.
Greg already knows I love basketball to death, man.
I play in pro-ams, everything, played overseas, did my thing. Like I said, I love basketball. Greg already knows I love basketball to death, man. I play in pro-ams, everything, played overseas,
did my thing.
Like I said, I love basketball.
I'm still playing in pro-ams, so I'll never give it up, man.
Like I said, as long as my nephew's playing in the NBA,
I still want to be able to play basketball on the side.
So that's all that matters.
No, I appreciate you.
I mean, obviously, you know, with Raul coming in,
there's going
to be some stuff that's just going to talk about, but how cool would it be to bring some,
some, you know, some athletic IP to Ape Chain, bro? Some way, somehow.
I'm excited, man. Honestly, I really want to start a basketball show with Grateful and
Barron. That'd be dope.
Yeah. Like, I know Grateful always talking about, you know, Kobe and everybody, but I'm like Grateful needs to know the history, man.
Like I used to actually ride my bike to the actual forum to, like,
get tickets to go, like, watch games.
So I for sure know, like, I'm an actual real, like, gym rat for sure.
So that's why I can't wait to, like, pick his brain.
Are you in L.A.?
No, I'm originally from L.A.
I'm actually out in Colorado right now.
Oh, Rock. So what year were you out here going to games at, I'm originally from L.A. I'm actually out in Colorado right now. Oh, Rock.
So what year were you out here going to games at the forum?
Oh, shoot, man.
I'm an 85 baby.
So, hey, I'm 40, bro.
So I can tell you right now, I have been going literally since, like,
the Nick Van Exel times.
Eddie Jones, bro, like, dead serious.
Like, my mom would hate me that I would literally be riding my bike down
Manchester, like, to go get tickets in front of the forum.
It'd be so funny.
Yeah, that's awesome, brother.
Yeah, I got a few years on you.
So I was lucky enough I got to see the Dream Team, Kareem, Magic, you know, Jamal Wilkes, Worthy, everybody, the whole crew.
It was nonstop.
Everybody was a superstar.
That was right there.
That was honestly the pinnacle right there of basketball in those times for sure.
Like, I ain't going to lie to you.
Like, that was shaped and molded, like, especially when Greg and them came up.
That was like the time, the time to be in the NBA.
Yeah, it was all about finesse.
It was a different game, right?
It was a total, you know, like all sports.
Everything now is power.
Everything now is, you know, the three-pointer or whatever sport it is,
it's always power, right?
If it's tennis, it's the serve, whatever it is.
Back in the day, it used to be just about the finesse
and knowing the game and knowing the court, knowing your teammates.
It was just a different vibe.
And so I just sent Hype a message, and you can see the text I just sent you, Hype.
I don't know what the problem is.
It says start listing anonymously.
It's the only way it's letting him come in.
Yeah, let's
I'll work on this right now. Why don't we
talk to Prince real quick and then
right after that we'll get to Bach if not Ralph shows up.
But let's talk to Prince real quick
and get going on what he's been working on
and then we'll get to Bach on to the Ape Church.
I mean, I'll make sure, you know, because some of these guys
are obviously on the East Coast. We appreciate your time being here
tonight. I know it's a Wednesday. Thank you for
being on our first episode of
or rebrand of Apes Gone Wild,
which is kind of our new launch on Wednesdays.
But definitely, yeah.
Yo, Brent, you there, bro?
Yo, what's good?
Yeah, I'm here.
Yeah, what's good, bro?
Congrats again on your mint.
You started minting yesterday.
Maybe let people know what's going on.
There's a lot of people in the room that know what's going on,
but for those that are new, maybe top in.
Yeah, thank you.
Yeah, we started minting yesterday.
Honestly, might have not been the best time with all the peanuts
and the balls action going around.
But yeah, you know, just a little bit of, I guess, bio about myself.
You could see my profile down there in the listener, NFT Prince.
I'm the founder of Board Club Canada.
I guess you can say I'm an OG ape.
I minted a couple...
Sorry, I guess I didn't mint.
I bought secondary a couple days after they minted out.
And, you know, I've been, I guess, a Yugo Maxi ever since I bought my Board Ape.
I started Board Club Canada that same month that theored Ape sold out, so May 2021.
And I've just been growing that community ever since. And, you know, that's the kind of the same
thing I want to do on Ape Train, you know, so just build a cool community. We put together a nice team.
You know, we have two developers on our our team and we have a really good artist
as well. His name is Render Times. He specializes in 3D art. So we're lucky enough to have him
because we're going to be planning to build assets on the other side as well. If you guys
want to check us out, it's Aplates.com. We did integrate Glyph Wallet as well. But yeah, if you guys want to check us out, it's apelitz.com. We did integrate
Glyph Wallet as well on our platform. So if you have ApeCoin in your Glyph account, you
can log in with your Twitter and mint directly off our platform. And I guess, yeah, you can
also check out what we built on our platform. We built too many games so far and analytical dashboard.
And we have something to announce next week
from our devs as well.
So keep an eye on that.
No, it's great, bro.
I mean, like I said, you've been grinding on this a minute you know obviously
you've been part of the the board of ecosystem for a very long time I know you know so because
under the account there is just working with you guys in terms of the community to support the
support the mint where you guys in the minute right now so last time I checked, we had about 400, well, I guess it's gone up a bit now,
466 minted so far.
You know, we don't mind that it's a slow mint right now.
You know, a couple of the recent successful ones on A-chain have been slow mints as well.
And, you know, now they're doing really well.
So, you know, we just got to grind
and just keep building.
No, that's amazing, bro. Like I said, you know you know i love the ip i love what you guys are doing i know i know you like i said you know you're you're well
recognized member of the club and you've been here helping not only with what you're doing with the
board canada and setting that for all of us in canada but also supporting you know the guys over
at i think with hoarder and what they got going on a little bit too.
And then, yeah, of course, you just established yourself
as an amazing person, bro.
You're always friendly and giving.
I know anytime there's an event, you try to do stuff.
And yeah, you guys, go support Prince, man.
I mean, Aplets is a new NFT that's on ApeChain.
And like you said, it doesn't matter if it's fast or slow.
I mean, they're going to keep building
and they've already put out some products beforehand.
So I know with him and Deep and Deep's background
and the team itself, did you mention the artist at all?
Yeah, I did a little bit.
But if you guys want to see his profile, his render times,
he has his, I guess, portfolio and his bio somewhere there.
He's worked with a lot of big brands like Nike, Bose,
and he's even done some work for the Ape Hotel,
some 3D work for them, Resorts World in Vegas.
But yeah, definitely check him out.
He deserves some love.
He worked really hard on our art.
Yeah, I love all the anime stuff you guys are doing too
as part of the pre-reveal and
some of your stuff for the content on the timeline it's pretty dope so yeah man

I'm just trying to get this thing worked out
I took your advice I'm going to see about
I just sent Ralph another account and we'll see if we can get him
in the meantime
I definitely want
to support Apletts
so why don't I just drop down?
Let's grab some of the mints right now.
Yeah, we'll definitely do that.
We'll grab some of the mints.
I appreciate it.
Yeah, brother.
I'm going to grab some of those bad boys,
and we'll talk about promoting you up on our Uwe marketplace.
We'll give you some love and let people know what you're building, brother.
Yeah. Yo, let's say what's up to a hostile before we get to Baca. No, Baca's on stage too. And then we'll, we'll get to, we'll get to the rest of the gang here. And
thank you guys for being patient. I mean, obviously we're, we're grateful you guys came
through and supporting the space. You know, we got Ralph coming in tonight and obviously,
you know, you, you you know people don't usually
that use x sometimes have uh have to find their way through but we're gonna make sure he gets in
here we got we got great down there as well care of uh marathon so so marathon thank uh thank your
brother-in-law for being patient man appreciate it thanks greg by the way it's a total trip i sent
you that screenshot um and there's no toggle he shot a video for me. He literally just goes on X and it opens up the space with the link I sent him.
And all it gives him is a button that says start listening anonymously.
And he's never had problems.
I mean, once we went through one time with him, he never had a problem after that getting out of space.
But it's weird.
So we'll see if he can get on there with uh
the vital toys account all right cool so look out for that account yeah let's see what's up
the hostel and then we get to baka what's up hostel what up pipe what's up brother oh not
much man it's fucking awesome awesome room you guys got lots of of new faces. It's awesome to see you.
What up, brother?
Oh, no, excited for Ape Chain and everything coming on OOE Marketplace. I know I definitely want to start building on the Marketplace directly.
Like for one thing we were talking about was building in-game items
so if you had the item once we go live you could cash it in we could send it to your your account
and then and then be able to have it in game so that's uh i'm excited for it, man. I can't wait for Uwe to come out.
And it's cool to see how much activity is coming with Ape Chain and everything else.
Like, I know there's a lot of different chains there.
I definitely love hearing all the projects here and everything that's going on in Ape Chain.
that's going on in ape chain i got to get more a little more familiar with it myself uh the hogs are
I've got to get a little more familiar with it myself.
are still on the ethereum chain and we're we're still minting i'll actually
we got a promo coming up yeah definitely throw it up brother throw it up top here so this is for At the end of the month, we're doing a buy one, get one. And I think we're at mint 2,500 and 2,600.
So if you mint between 2,500 and 2,600,
we're going to do a wheel spin for either an Xbox or PlayStation
to help promote the upcoming game that's going to Xbox and PlayStation
called Unreal Kingdoms by the Cyber Ape Yacht Club.
So we're a partner with that project and we're going to have our own world, Hog City.
And, you know, if you get one of our 3D assets, the Hogs, you can go to our website, connect your wallet, get the 3D asset, get an FBX file, get a GLB file.
And there's going to be a lot of perks.
We're going to be giving 28% of the profits, keyword profits there, back to holders through a marketing system.
So that means we're going to make very easy tasks to complete, like retweets or comments,
and it'll pick up.
You go in the IMS system, show that you have the asset,
show that you completed the task,
and then we'll be able to work it out as paid marketing
because you can't just have an asset make you money.
Otherwise, it's considered a security or a share
so that's how we're working that so right now we're minting at 0.029 eth been around for the
last three years we're these badass biker hogs in hog city uh the breakdown on hog city the main
quest is going to be taking over areas of the city.
It's going to be like,
it's going to be like faction wars,
So it's fun.
We're going to make,
we're talking to the guys there about making lots of motorcycle access.
Cause that's a lot of our theme.
and then just,
also doing different one-on-one quests and uh we are
we are putting in nifty's world there sid it's uh if you get a little better idea of the the city it
might not happen right away but we'll have like i think 120 days of beta testing where we can start
adding different areas so i've already got that chalked
up and uh yeah man it's exciting so yeah brother i'm i'm super pumped about what you guys are
building obviously uh you know we're we're partners with the hogs on a bunch of stuff
who we at nifty's world um you know the game that you guys are building out with Unreal Kingdoms, I'm super bullish on it.
Obviously, we're going to showcase it at the venue.
If you guys didn't catch it, it's going to be going live on Xbox and PlayStation, among other platforms.
And we did sign a big deal with Tootsie Roll brands, and we'll be doing some wearables together.
So those will be digital collectible wearables featuring you know blow pop
double bubble tootsie roll uh etc uh and so you'll be able to go in grab different
grab different wearables throw them on your characters uh in game and then also we'll have
a limited edition run where there'll be a digital collectible connected to a physical good um and so there'll be one-off uh
special limited edition um uh connected product so i'm super pumped about that brother
well yeah man it's it's especially like the amount of users the amount of players
and like you think about like a tootsie Roll sweatshirt, right? If there's a limited supply or if it's a rare drop that we end up doing together, you know, the value of that, the collectibles are collectibles, right?
And a lot of gamers love having unique items.
So, you know, I could see something like that really jumping out to people, right?
Because it's a long-term brand.
It's been around forever.
Everyone knows Tootsie Roll.
So it's exciting, dude.
It's exciting.
I'm pumped, brother.
You guys, definitely give them some love.
If you haven't checked out the Hogs, it's a great community.
They've been super supportive, founders, supporting founders,
builders in the space for a great community. They've been super supportive. Founders supporting founders. Builders in the space for a long time.
And, you know, pumped out of you as a partner, brother.

i've watched you for many years play and so it's excited to have you in in the space man this is
this is crypto brother this is this is web3 so you have a lot of people in the room here that are they're not only avid fans
of sports but collectability and and digital collectibles and i know there's a there's a
couple people in the room including the that that one guy under the ape church account which is baka
he's actually from houston uh he's a little younger, but he was your hometown for a while, bro.
Yo, Baka, you there?
Yeah, Baka, meet Ralph Sampson, bro.
He played in your city for many years, bro.

Yes, sir. He might be muting. It's all now. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's there.
Yeah, he might be muting.
It's all good.
Yeah, I was going to say, under the Ape Church account is Baca.
He's actually from Houston.
So I just wanted to introduce you to Baca real quick.
Yeah, Houston is a special place for sure.
Love it there.
There you go.
Baca, are you there?
Yeah, Houston is the best brother yo i i think you're gonna like
what we're cooking up on ape chain bro have you checked out ape chain at all are you involved
do you have any nfts coins no i don't not yet we're gonna get him in there we're gonna get him
in there yeah so we're just to kind of give you a little bit of background, Baca,
Ralph and I have been working together for many years now.
He's an advisor over at my company, NFA.
We also have multiple projects going with each other, including digital collectibles.
And so Ralph and I are building out a full line of sports-related at least out the gate, sports related digital collectibles, not only for NBA Hall of Famers and retired players, but also across all sports.
And so this is something we've already built out Ralph's first, what we call a digital bobblehead, a digibobble.
And we'll be launching that.
And that was the big announcement. We are going to be launching all of these collectibles on
ApeChain. And this is going to be a big deal for us, not just for ApeChain, for us as well.
My vision has always been to build a digital collectible platform, similar to what Vivi was doing and ultimately build out my
own blockchain to launch it on. But now that I found Ape, I'm super bullish on it. So we're
going to be building our entire digital collectible platform on ApeChain. And like I said, we're
going to bring some heat right now. And Ralph has helped me put this together. So it's exciting times.
We've got a lot of stuff we're cooking up. And we'll talk more about that as the weeks go on.
But we're working on some stuff in Vegas together. We're working on print-on-demand projects
together. We're going to be doing a lot of things. And like I said, all connected back to Ape Chain.
You know, with our
end goal, right? The end goal that I've always had, if anybody who's been listening to me for
the last four years talk, it's always been, how do we get, you know, two to five million new people
into Web3? And this is how we're going to do it. And we're going to do it, you know, on Ape Chain.
So I'm super pumped about it. Ralph will have a full wallet very soon
with a bunch of goodies that we're putting together.
So he'll be ready to rock and roll.
Yeah, yeah.
I was going to say real quick, Sid,
I definitely want, you know, Ralph,
I know you're under the UE account right now.
Make sure you're full and when you get a chance to
on your main account,
you see that guy there wearing the weird clown face
over his little cheetah guy, GB?
Yeah, yeah.
He works as part of the Ape Chain team.
So definitely tap in with him for sure.
Obviously, you got to tap in with everybody on stage
because everybody on stage is definitely a connector in this space.
Hit up Ape Church with Baka and those guys.
They're making some really great moves on the chain
as well as definitely hit up,
I see him under the account as well,
Hoarder as well, Hoarder and the Ape Game guys.
They kind of do stuff with Ape Fest
and the Ape Game's team.
They're really doing stuff like more sports focused
in terms of some of the games and participation
for some of us.
The Apes, the Bored Apes, the Mutant Apes,
and obviously the community.
So tapping with him. And I saw Marathon marathon drop but i want to bring him back up i don't know why
i dropped the marathon is uh where is he he's coming back up i think uh yeah i tried i tried
to bring him up i don't know i don't know what happened i saw him drop too yeah so marathon
actually you may know marathon but marathon's sister is actually married to greg so uh as
soon as marathon found out you're coming through bro bro, he's like, yo, yo, I
gotta, I gotta bring my bro.
I'm like, who's your bro?
He's like, he's like Greg Anthony.
I'm like, you mean Greg Anthony from like Vancouver Grizzlies, Greg?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So, so we got, we got Greg, we got Greg in the house tonight.
I think Sid might've mentioned it to you, but we have Greg here tonight as well.
Coming up to see what's up.
I don't know why Marathon can't get back up here.
I've tried.
Give him a sec.
Maybe he's got to accept it.
So, yeah, Sven, are you there?
What's going on, man?
Why don't you meet Ralph?
Ralph Sampson here.
Yeah, man.
Super glad to meet you.
Super glad to hear you guys are looking to build on Ape Chain.
Really excited to learn more. You know know really see where we could support and i know we have an amazing group up here that uh you know the one biggest thing that we have as a chain is our
community we're super lucky to have the network effect that happens inside our community and
you know you're gonna get to see it i think uh as you begin to really roll up and roll out on
ape chain and you know collecting
those eight chain nfts getting into those meme coin communities you know it's uh i would say
it's definitely a must and you guys have you i know you have hype i know you have nifty up here
so i know they'll guide you the right way and if you ever need anything from the ape chain side
we're just a quick ping away you know sped aren't you in, you in Virginia, right?
I am in North Carolina.
Very close.
Very close.
All right.
Cause Ralph,
you're in Virginia,
That's your home base.
I'm in Virginia.
You guys should definitely tap in.
You guys are pretty close.
Like I said,
NGB and lost and the,
the full eight chain team.
they're amazing people,
And they're definitely wants to connect you and,
and show you guys the way.
And of course, Sid tapping with NGB as well. I know the way. And of course it's tapping with NGB as well.
I know we got a meeting tomorrow,
but definitely tapping with NGB as well.
It'd be great for you guys to connect.
One hundo.
Appreciate you coming up your NGB hype.
I don't know.
I don't know what's up with marathon.
I don't know if you're,
is Greg up on stage?
No, no, we're, we're, we're trying to find a marathon.
It's X has been really glitchy today.
People have been bouncing all up and down.
So let's just give it a sec here.
Ralph's got a little bit of time, right?
Just want to make sure.
I think he's got a few minutes.
All right, cool.
Well, in the mean, he can meantime, he can speak to it.
You know, I just wanted to say, you know, are you there, Ralph?
Yeah, I'm still here.
Yeah, so, you know, I wanted to kind of, you know,
I don't know if you want to talk a little bit about, you know,
your businesses and what you're building.
You know, I kind of touched on the stuff we're building.
I didn't want to get specific with names.
I know we have a long list of, you know,
Hall of Famers, retired players we're working with.
But just to kind of give a background
of what you're doing business-wise and stuff would be awesome.
Yeah, no problem, no problem.
So I'm in California right now working on some agricultural,
with a very large fund for agricultural space.
And that way back in Virginia,
I'm working on launching,
actually launching an athlete platform
for educational financial literacy
and building a platform around them
so they can monetize their name, image, and likeness
and anything else we can from a college standpoint
to the pro standpoint, to a Hall of Fame standpoint.
So those are the two major projects.
So, and obviously we're working on a whole thing with NIL as well with you.
You know, we're, if you guys don't know,
we made a deal to launch a Nifty's World rewards card with Visa.
And so Ralph and I are also working on one catered to the basketball world.
And so hopefully we'll be launching something together and also obviously doing an entire print-on-demand platform that's catering,
not only to all these great players that we all know, but the NIL players coming up, all these kids coming up in college and even younger.
Does NIL touch high school at this point?
It does, yes.
Right, so the stars that are hitting up in high school also,
the forthcoming stars, we'll be working with these people.
So it's exciting.
And I can't wait for you guys to see the first digital collectible
that we'll be dropping.
I would say hopefully we'll drop it before the end of the year.
These are going to be super limited. This will be our first one with Ralph.
It'll be a commemorative piece and there'll be some interesting utilities behind it, including some physical goods.
So, you know, we're going to make sure whenever we're putting out a digital, let's say,
digital bobblehead or whatever it may be, whatever the commemorative digital figure is,
some of those people who mint are going to get a chance to get some signed memorabilia.
You never know what you're going to get. And that'll be linked to those players. So I'm super
bullish and excited about that. I see we got Marathon back up. What up, Marathon?
Yo, yo, you already know Twitter be hating sometimes when, you know,
H&M trying to have a good time.
But I'm back.
We're good.
Rock and roll.
So I know you were talking to Ralph for a second.
Were you able to get Greg up on here?
I'm actually waiting to see.
I think he's still on a call right now.
I know my sister's tapped in right now down there, down below.
So she's probably listening for Greg. No problem. What up, sis? Well, listen, Ralph will's tapped in right now down there, down below, so she's probably listening in for Greg.
No problem.
What up, sis?
Well, listen, Ralph will be coming in a lot.
As he mentioned, he's traveling right now.
We'll coordinate another space that's really dedicated to what we'll do.
We'll get Greg up here, and we'll bring in some other –
maybe we'll get a chance.
We'll bring in some other players and stuff.
But, you know, Ralph has been part of the team for a minute now um and so you guys will see
him around we'll bring him through again this is awesome man honestly this is historical man like
this is what this community does like the web 3 a chain community like is on top like we literally
brought in a hall of famer like is this the first hall of famer we have on a chain is that like is
that what we can actually say?
So I'm like, we're breaking barriers, bro.
Like, this is like, barriers can't even look at us no more.
So I'm like, this is what I'm talking about right here.
This is what the space needs, for sure.
So good job, for sure.
Good job on that.
Thank you, brother.
No problem.
Man, thanks for joining you guys.
We'll do more.
I'll get some other Hall of Fame friends on here.
I was with them last week.
They said no, but let's make this thing happen. I appreciate all y'all. We'll do more. I'll get some other Hall of Fame friends on here. I was with him last week and said no,
but let's make this thing happen.
I appreciate all y'all.
Thank you, bro.
Feel better.
We'll be chopping up later.
Take care.
Okay, perfect.
All right.
Later, bud.
Yeah, I don't know
if you dipped down or not.
No, he's still up here
for a minute.
It's all good.
No, but honestly,
you know, marathon, I know, you know, real quick all good. Okay. No, but honestly, you know,
Marathon, I know, you know, real quick before we get to Baca, I mean, you know, I don't know if Greg's tapped in with you on any crypto or NFTs, but, you know, there's definitely, you know,
something that a lot of these guys, I know for a long time, you know, when they first enter crypto,
when I'm saying like a lot of celebrity status and athletes, you know, there's this stigma,
and I've talked about it, you know, there's this stigma around people entering this space and whatnot.
But I think, you know,
some of these guys are really here for the right reasons.
So we got to show you guys some love.
And so hopefully you're getting Greg indoctrinated into the ecosystem with
Ape Chain and definitely getting him some NFTs, man.
Cause I think it's the wave.
I have actually, the funny thing is, man,
I have been picking his brain in his ear for a while
He knows and I know he listening to but uh, it's funny me and Baron have been trying to get him to ape in
Like I mean he's run he's from Vegas. You feel me?
UNLV all-star like that
That's the most the most perfect scenario for us to have Greg ape in and then be in Vegas
Come on now like it's nothing better. We're working on a basketball experience for our Nifty's World venue in Vegas.
And so it would be awesome to have him part of that.
That'd be awesome.
I think we should definitely connect in the back channels.
I'd love to get Greg on the roster for what we're building
and get him one of our digital collectibles for what we're building and get them one
of our, one of our digital collectibles to what we're building right now.
That would be awesome to get them lined up.
I know hype you've seen, you've seen a couple of the prototypes of the,
of the bobblehead. It's pretty sick, right?
Yeah, it's pretty dope. It's pretty dope.
Yeah. We got, we got Pumas on there. You know,
Ralph is one of the first, you know, athletes from back in that day that had a sponsorship.
And so that was, they were Pumas.
They're super sick.
And I actually, I was with Ralph on Saturday.
And I'm just going to tell this little story because I thought it was funny.
I ended up throwing out my back. I was putting on my Ralph Sampson shoes,
which the last time I wore them was on my first day with my wife.
So I wore them on my first day with my wife like two years ago,
and then I wore them to go meet Ralph the other day,
and I showed up, and Ralph is rocking the same shoes,
which was just classic.
But he's a dope guy,
and I'm real excited to bring what we're building over here,
you guys, to Ape Chain.
It's going to be big for everybody.
Like I said, we're going to start bringing in a lot of new people
into this space, and we're going to start to build out
some killer, killer collectibles.
Yeah, 100%.
Yo, but by the way, Marathon, you know,
if obviously Greg still wants to come through and say what's up, I'd love to have him come up if he's still free.
So obviously, like, there's no obligation.
But I would still love to, you know, he's spent some time in the room, and I would still love to have him come up because, you know, he's a bro to you.
It'd be loved to see him.
And I know you were mentioning some other people that we should definitely connect with.
Oh, yeah, for sure. Yeah, I hit my boy Isaiah. So Isaiah Thomas. I know everybody were mentioning some other people that we should definitely connect with. Oh, yeah, for sure.
Yeah, I hit my boy Isaiah.
So Isaiah Thomas, I know everybody knows him, Mr. Boston Celtics, Mr. Get Buckets, Mr. Walking Bucket.
And, yeah, you know, from straight Seattle.
He just actually had his Zeke weekend pass a couple weekends ago, and that was a super great turnout.
Honestly, he sent me some tickets to go to it,
and I was just so busy with the candy stuff I couldn't even pull up.
But it was some stars out there when I tell you for sure.
So I know Peyton Pritchard ended up having, like,
another 65-point summer league game like he usually does every summer.
And you got to bring Chauncey through as well, bro.
Oh, yeah, for sure.
I'll definitely hit Chauncey for sure too.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And I'll see if Rodney can pull up too that'd be nice that'd be sick no i
appreciate you and like i said stay up here if you got time and if greg comes through i'd love
to say what's up and said would love to say what's up and sure a lot of us would just love to show
some love for sure for sure but yeah let's let's get the baka real quick because i know baka's been
patient and uh yo bakaca you there bro yes sir
bro what's up man NBA players Hall of Famers coming to a chain bro no that's sick man yeah
just I like that fucking hasn't even hit me up bro like we got this this change thriving as you
know bro and you've been champion of this chain as long as you've been on a chain and you're
one of the biggest space hosts that always pushes it, you know,
day in and day out.
And you can see it's starting to come to fruition, bro.
You know what I mean?
Like, it's starting to happen and motion is definitely happening.
And with Ape Church, there's a lot of motion happening
and a lot of people are interested in what's going on with Ape Church.
I know a few of us know a little bit about what's going on,
but obviously you got all the secret sauce.
But, you know, tell us what's going on, bro.
Dude, what's going on is you're right, like i'm i'm excited about it too it feels like
everyone's coming together to you know try and push the ecosystem forward bro like it's really
it's sick to see bro like you know like it's like damn like finally you know like we're seeing some
some a lot like a lot of cool stuff. Even the balls lost.
I see you down there, bro.
Man, you really had me questioning life while minting these fucking balls, bro.
I don't know.
It's crazy.
And trying to buy them, too.
Trying to buy them is another challenge.
So it's really exciting, you know?
Just seeing new stuff
like that and yeah i think a lot of you guys are really gonna like what we have in store here for
for ape church bro it's gonna be sick um so yeah you're definitely gonna see some some new posts
from the main account over the next uh week so. So like, yeah, you definitely want to turn notifications on,
follow and interact with the posts. Yeah. It's going to be sick.
I know you're working with a team. And so I know Coco's talked a little bit about it.
So maybe just let some people that are new in the room that aren't on Ape Chain
or just never heard of Ape Church. Like what, what, what is Ape Church? I mean, some of us do like most of us, I think that are in in the room that aren't on ape chain or just never heard of ape church like what what what is ape church i mean some of us doing like most of us i think that are in
spaces with you and have heard it uh know exactly what's kind of the the premise around
ape church but maybe just give a little bit of what's what's going on yeah so it's it's pretty
much like a a dap you know what i mean like it's it's completely like decentralized bro
like you know you can you can put um money in the house like it there's a leaderboard bro um loot
boxes like um like a pretty good selection of games where we're still adding more games to it. So it's, I think people are going to love this thing, bro.
And yeah, I mean, I know some of you guys have seen the Gimbos.
Yeah, they look sick.
Yeah, I saw the teaser.
We should actually try to find the post.
It's on the main account, right?
Is it pinned?
I don't know if it's pinned.
Let me pin it right now.
Yeah, yeah. So for you guys that don't know like like like baka said like you go in there you play
games um you can win money uh with betting with ape um which is really cool um you can win loot
boxes which gives you more ape to play with i know a lot of a lot of us that have been kind of beta
testing and have been able to
experience it and they're adding new games they're actually collabing with a lot of different
communities like balloons uh to bring an experience through their project onto onto
a church and with the gimmos that bak is posting up most of us don't even know what's going on with
that but we kind of get an idea that's going to be a character within the mix so yeah top in with
with ape church as well um coco who's um usually behind the mix. So yeah, top in with Ape Church as well.
Koko is usually behind the Ape Church account.
I know Baka works with the team,
but Koko also has Ape Express.
Maybe Baka, you know,
you're not really focused on Ape Express.
Maybe you tell people that are traditionally on like Solana and these type of like meme coins
what Ape Express is about just really briefly.
Yeah, I mean uh it's a platform where you can create tokens trade tokens on ape chain and
make tokens in like you know uh less than a couple minutes like all you really need is an image
a ticker and i mean you can choose how much to buy you know um you can get one percent of the
supply for like 58 you know what i mean so yeah if you want to try out you know making a meme on
ape chain it's it's the it's the best place to do it it's fast you can you can connect your passkey
to it and trade in like a matter of seconds like it's pretty much like solana speeds it's it's um
it's a great platform bro like i've launched on it you know it's uh it's fun and it's quick and
it's quick and even people can even people can actually earn to me by just promoting it they
don't have to buy into it if they don't want to buy into the coins they'd actually promote it and
if they have a following and people like that
type of stuff they can use that loot link right yeah yeah the loot links is
pretty much like a referral thing right but so I went whenever someone buys using
your link you you take a cut of the fee and yeah we're actually working on some upgrades on ape express as well so like um
yeah look you want to be tapped in like you really want to be tapped in it's it's it's gonna be
special no we appreciate you bro coming through um so go ahead no I was just gonna say
Baka I want to chop it up with you
I sent a message
I have some ideas for
Ape Express and
want to see if we can work on a couple things together
just message me or
the account whichever
we'll figure it out
plus you can always find Baka running his spaces
pretty much every night. I think he's on episode
190 yet, bro?
Oh, we're getting pretty close,
actually. Wait.
189, I think it's something like that. Anyways, Baka's
done 189 spaces over the last
six months.
That's pretty dope.
He's very consistent, right?
If you guys ever
want to tap in more about ape chain products and stuff going on on the eco baka pretty much throws
up a space every night you guys can come through it's a very vibe space but still every night
there's some some informational pieces and some things going on that may interest some of you
guys so uh tap in for sure if you guys get a chance to under the ape church account or not follow baka um yeah bro appreciate you yeah we're also we're also sweeping some nfts bro we're gonna keep
sweeping so you know i i recommend you you try to snipe some collections you know um there's a lot
of cool nfts on ape chain bro so like you know if you really like you know take a look, you'll find some cool shit.
Appreciate you, bro.
I love it.
Yeah, thanks for having me, bro.
No, of course, bro.
Thanks for having me.
No, I appreciate you coming through, bro.
Dude, I'm going to pay out $100,000 a night for the amount of times you say bro.
Me or him. Bro. bro bro come on bro i mean the original bro bro came from the kid and now all of a sudden hype's doing 45 000
bros i just i get it's just i'm getting indoctrinated to this word bro all the time
now so just say bro i spend too much time in broad space dude i i say it i say it a lot too
i thought he was talking to me.
No, it's even there's some people in the audience
who even have, like, sound bites of me
because I always say bro, bro.
Actually, you're part of the reason I probably say bro a lot, man.
I mean, honestly, when I get tired, I say bro.
It's just a lot easier for me.
I go back into, like, DJ mode.
What's up, bro?
Yeah, for real.
Abaka, yo. We're going to change gonna change the meta on ape i can feel it coming
i don't know about that bro um yo let's let's let's let's let's thanks baka um let's circle
to dylan let's get over let's circle to dylan and then i want to get back to order after that
just talk more about what he's got going on with you know his uh his board ip because i think that's
gonna interest you as well said but let's get to dylan because i mean dylan's been here a minute he's a
homie he's been he's been rocking a long time with both me and sid but you know what up
what up guys just chilling it's great space um obviously a lot of ogs you know just building
and making stuff happen so you know excited about all of that. And, you know, we did a live stream the other day
with TOA's VTA TV on their Apology page
and, you know, showing everybody around
inside the Income Island metaverse
and everything that's going on with that.
So, and we're working on our our newest update
for that hopefully we'll have that done within the next couple of weeks we're getting close so
just some new businesses going in some new rides that people will be able to drive around in as
well so a lot of good stuff yeah brother i i'm not gonna i won't i won't share any of the secrets i know but the stuff
i've seen that's coming is looking insane um if you guys haven't jumped into income island
go download it go play around a little bit uh nfa we have a building uh we've had in there for
a long time we're we're expanding across Beach. We have a big beach property,
so we'll be adding in a bunch of buildings. We also put up, we co-sponsored with Income Island,
a Ferris wheel in there, and so it's a place that projects can kind of plant their brand
and be part of that. The new game with MetaRides, where you can drive one of the MetaRides where you can drive one of the MetaRides vehicles is awesome. Definitely, definitely give
it some love and check it out. It's pretty sick. And I know Stardogs, you're going to be, I know
there's been a lot of moving on Stardogs as well. Yeah, we've got one of our movies that we're doing
a re-release on that's coming out theatrically, Thousand Theaters Nationwide. It's called The
Blind. It's about Phil and Kay Robertson from the Duck Dynasty family movie. We originally
released it two years ago. So we're doing a re-release on that. Our Mint will be happening
later this year. And with that, people know, people will get opportunities to get roles
in our movies, you know, follow around the directors, producers on set. And it's not something
that we're saying, oh yeah, when we meant, then you get it. We've actually had films release over
the last couple of years and our private sale holders have gotten opportunities to, you know,
attend the red carpet events that we've got going on have been able to

And the fact that you get a portion of the profits now moving forward as well on all of our movies that were released after our mint.
So that's going to be awesome as well.
Yeah, dude.
Super rad.
Super pumped.
And can't wait for that bit and can't wait for people to get into income island i know there's a lot of new stuff that's gonna be dropping when
is the next um the next update coming out do we know yet should be within the next couple of weeks
uh we're trying to get these buildings done with the axion dow um and then i think the next update
that we'll be working on right after that will be
a world of tink building i'm hoping nice very exciting yo i appreciate you brother as always
we see you too man we should should we say what's up to hunk should we say what's up to teal because
i know he came up yeah let's say hi to hunk i brought on cup here i saw him down there just
chilling i was like yo i gotta bring the kid up and i asked. I brought Anka up here. I saw him down there just chilling. I was like, yo, I got to bring the kid up.
And I asked MetaRides to come up here.
I know Hermes killing it right now.
And definitely want to get him integrated.
And people know who he is and what he's up to.
But what up, kid?
What up, T.O.?
What's up, bro, bro?
Shoot, bro.
You know how I've been rolling.
I just got off a phone call with Eric over there with X Inc.
We got everything done. We're working on the marketing packaging and stuff and going to be reaching out to certain people on Solana and Ape Chain to get their opinions and start marketing that out.
You know, just want to give you guys an update real quick on that.
You know, hearing all you guys and everything everybody's doing here is always wonderful.
And this is a great space for it and it i love it it's gone it's gone back to its old
roots for sure like it's gotten really good and hype's been killing it and stuff and been grinding
a lot over there at ape chain so i'm proud of him and of course said everything you you know me i
don't have to give you flowers you just the man dog you're my my mentor and a good friend that
we've become with and and i appreciate everything you do for me. But on this X Inc stuff, bro, guys, like it's, you know, he's been working on it.
He created his own thread, has three years on it.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars he spent on it already.
Finally got everything.
Everything will be turnkey, just to let you guys know.
Everything is ready.
There's no roadmap.
It's done.
Like when you go buy into it or mint into it, if you want to get into it, you're already part of the ecosystem.
You're going to be earning revenue share, all that stuff.
So we'll get all those fine details and put it out.
It's really exciting. I'm proud of him.
He's put a lot of team and effort on this.
This is a guy that has two other small businesses, not small, but pretty
big businesses, you know, 50 or 60 employees. And to go from that and create your own clothing store
is pretty amazing. So if y'all don't know who Eric is, he's probably one of the nicest people
you ever meet. He's my number one Canadian and just love that guy. But I'm really excited about
that. And the phone call we had, dude, Sid, like, I know you know about it. I was going to say, dude, Eric, Eric is the bomb.
I'm still trying. We're going to try to do something with Eric. I'm hoping that we can,
you know, integrate his designs into our print on demand. That would be sick.
So we're going to work on that for sure. And then the other thing is this. The other thing is this
is like, you know, taking advantage of the metaverse and stuff, too. But the other thing is this the other thing is this is like um you know taking
advantage of the metaverse and stuff too but the other thing is like let me tell you my canadian
list right like everybody has a rap list or favorite basketball players and everything said
but mine is like there's eric and then there's like graham right and then and and all those guys
from the hogs and then there's like a few other people that are in there and then you get right right there about eight or nine and then you get a guy named hype that's
just right there like he's moving up like he's doing really well to try to move up and everything
but it's just it's hard to get past those eight in front of you guys right are you actually he
made it into the top 10 he did he did and it happened the other night he did something i
couldn't believe that he did i was so proud proud of him. And I was like, you know what?
Kicking these two other guys out and these girls. And I'm like, I'm moving up hype.
So congratulations, hype. You're in my top 10. And that's a hard list to get on.
Congratulations, hypey.
Let's let's let this make that clear. That's your Canadian top 10.
That's my Canadian top 10.
So he's so he's sitting. He's my Canadian top 10. Correct. So he's
sitting around
I'm probably sitting like 90th
at this point. I mean,
he probably was like the two Canadians
in the Yukon, which aren't even part of Canada.
I can't get a hold of it anymore, so
he's now my top 10.
This fucking guy.
No, I'm just kidding.
But no, I appreciate you guys and everything you are doing.
This is a special, special community.
And A-Chain, like you guys know, I know I'm very vocal.
And I know some of you guys might have felt that I was a little extreme this morning when we were talking about Peanuts and all that.
And I'm not.
I'm just being very honest.
I know. Go ahead. Yeah, no. But, you know, I am sometimes that I can get very serious when I think it needs to be serious.
And I want people to understand how it's working so they can make the best decision for themselves.
Because we eventually we are talking about money here. You are talking about investing. You're talking about buying things.
So you want to make sure you feel comfortable and you're making the right decision for you and your ecosystem and stuff like that.
And this is why we're a community.
That's why I'm here, to share my experiences and to help you make the best decision possible in this space.
And one of the best decisions I ever made was becoming a maxi and crypto homies,
you know, and supporting Sid. So like, this is just the beginning. I can't wait for the Vegas
thing. That's been my biggest thing. You can ask Sid. I've been constantly asking, trying to make
my vacations to go around it when he's going to be down there, because I want to see the building
so bad and everything they put into it, because I know the effort that went in there. So,
you know, those don know, I love that.
I love when people do that.
I can't wait for the Hogs.
I've been waiting for the Hogs and their game to be done
so we can showcase that on a live stream and do all that.
You know, I only hold four, but I'm working.
I'm working on trying to get a couple more because I really, really like the Hogs.
If you haven't got one, go get one.
They're awesome, and you're going to enjoy them.
So those are the things that I'm looking for.
And I'm always going to showcase them.
You go follow my timeline.
You're going to know the people that I support.
And there's a lot of good people on this space.
And, you know, we bring them in here.
We bring them here so they can, you know, talk about their projects and everything they're doing or just talk about a community that they love and care about.
And that's what I love about this space.
So I'll continue doing what you're doing. I heard Ralph Samsung there for a little bit. I was on, of course, on a phone call
and then a work phone call. But, you know, I'm excited that those guys are
have people like you said to give them an opportunity to build their brand out. Right. Because they
gave us a lot of joy. I didn't get to see him when I was young. I was too young.
But, you know, you're talking about one of the greatest athletes of all time in any sport.
And that guy transcended the sport. He doesn't get as much credit as you should.
But that guy, it was special and stuff. So, you know, it's great that they're still venturing out and taking chances and saying, hey, what do I need to do to build my brand out here?
and saying, hey, what do I need to do to build my brand out here?
And that's something really special, and we need to help them
so it can make us and open up doors for us to do the same thing
because everybody here is a brand, like it or not.
Everybody.
Well, I can tell you this.
First of all, Tio, I appreciate you, brother.
I appreciate you always supporting what we've been building at the Homies
and NFA and being part of
the family you've spent a lot of time you know on stage with me and obviously you know I have a
relationship outside of web 3 and and I appreciate you always having ideas and and not being shy just
to be like yo you got it you know hear me out I got something dope I want to I want to point you
in a direction I want to introduce you to somebody.
And it fits into my model always of, you know, community supporting communities,
people supporting people. And that's how we really grow. It's the same way that Hype,
you know, was like, yo, Sid, you got to check out what's going on in Ape Chain. I know you were banging on me too, Tio. So I'm not going to give it 100% to hype. But, you know, hype definitely,
definitely caught my attention was like, yo, you know, I think you should really look at it.
And I'll tell you, it's been a fantastic move for me. Obviously, I'm building out the marketplace
who we put in put in the last two years of developing it. It's going to be fantastic.
It's going to be Ape-centric. We've built out some
features and functionality that I think Ape is going to go crazy over. Our launch pad is going
to blow you away. The services we have there are going to blow you away. And I think, you know,
when it comes to collectible side, we're going to start to bring some heat to the chain, right?
So people like Ralph Sampson, the Hall of Famers we have, you know, I have athletes from, you know, over 10 different sports. We have some leagues outside
the country. We have some physical art we're going to bring to the table. It's going to blow
people's minds. We have, you know, I just told Hype yesterday, if you guys, I'm just going to give a
little sneak peek Hype. But if you guys know who Chaka is, Chaka is a legend,
LA legend, 1980s, 1990s. Chaka was probably one of the most notorious taggers ever. And, you know,
I think within a six or eight month period, he was able to put up like 10,000 tags in la on street signs uh and it was i think one of the top 10 most wanted
at a moment time also so we we've been you know old school we've been working with you know with
with chaka and you know over 500 of of the of the legends um and that's one of the things i've been
bringing to web 3 since day one uh but now we're starting to really, really cook. And like I said, I found my home on Ape, and we're going to bring some heat here.
This is where the real collectibles are going to be.
These are where we're going to build a brand, which is the brand I always wanted to build.
We're going to build it on Ape, and this is just the start.
And so we'll be featuring a lot of stuff in here.
I won't go on too much about it more. But I will say this. Number one, up at the top,
I just reposted the giveaway for tonight. We're giving away $100 USD in ApeCoin. So I need you
guys to go up to the top. Make sure you're following me and Hype, the NFA account, the OOI account,
which left because that's what I brought Ralph under, the Nifty's World account over there,
and can't wait to bring somebody in and drop them some ApeCoin. And we got a lot of stuff brewing, you guys. We'll talk more about Nifty's World next week. Just in the meantime, go take a
look at the website. We are building a venue out there
uh condo hotel immersive experience and i think a lot of the people on ape chain are going to be
excited to know uh the ape chain is going to be the backbone of our facility um and uh we have a
lot of plans to bring a lot of people through the chain so we're excited oh dude those are basically and i forgot oh
oh dude did you drop one by the way it's okay did you did you drop one yet over on the on the site
i i have not i'm picking back bro you gotta you gotta you gotta knock that out because we're
picking the winner next week uh for the first person to represent the OOE brand.
It's going to be Jay Vegas.
Right now it's Jay Vegas, obviously.
He's been killing it.
I'm going to go smoke two cigars and we'll see who
wins out of Jay Vegas and that
It's very easy. Go to the OOE marketplace.
You're already in there.
It'll be going off beta
soon for the people that didn't get into beta.
But go in there, bro, and there's a place you can record.
And we're going to keep this going for about a year.
We're going to pick 12 winners, one every month,
and then we're going to take those 12.
We're going to do a big contest,
and we're going to pick the final person who we're going to continue with
as the voice of the marketplace.
So we're super excited.
Yeah, bro.
Yeah, we got to get Machiavelli on there too,
but like a serious one.
There ain't a guy over there.
And Hype is in the running too.
You've heard his version.
Well, yeah, I've heard his Canadian version.
Yeah, I know.
Hype, you going to drop yours?
It's so bad.
No, it's awful.
We don't even want you to.
It actually hurts our brand every time you say the name.
Well, I mean, I try, bro.
Five people left the space. Hey, good job. Yeah. 400 just left. Hey I try, bro. I try. Five people left the space.
400 just left.
Hey, this gives you guys more opportunities to win that eight.
Come on. I'm helping you out here.
There you go.
I see my brothers up here.
We got Hermie from MetaRizzle.
What up, Herm?
We're changing the name right now to MetaRizzle.
Hold on. I got you.
MetaRizzle is the way to go.
Meta Rizzle.
No, no, no, no.
It's very catchy.
It is catchy.
Like, you change it, I'm going to go mint three more.
Like, let's go.
If you change it tonight, we're all minting.
He's just going to do a PFP name change.
It will not be a brand change.
Hey, there you go.
I want to put out the Meta Rizzle vehicle.
I'm claiming that now, Herm.
Yeah, we're incorporated out of Wyoming.
I'm going to change all of it for T.O.'s three sales.
I'm on it.
You got to do it.
Then you got to top it with Dylan and get that stuff changed on Incom Island, too.
See, I'm looking out for your best interest, my brother.
I appreciate that.
But at one of these days,
you're going to have to give a real ooey.
A real ooey?
Yeah, like a real one.
Like, not last place.
Like, something that's like that.
He's from Canada, dude.
It doesn't matter.
He's still in last.
There's two of us from Canada.
Actually, there's three of us from Canada on stage. What are you dogging us for?
There's people there's people from all over the world and I gotta say like Tio is my number one
Venezuelan like he's the top-notch
He's my number one
See how many other Venezuelans do you know in this space, Graham?
That's the fucking point, Hyde.
Maybe you should not hang out with so many Canadians.
How about that?
How about that?
How about that?
Hey, did you see Hyde deflect?
Hyde's not going to do the ooey.
He's just deflecting, and he's picking on countries now.
I already said flat out, bro.
I said that nobody's going to be Jay Vegas.
Jay Vegas is the number one fucking U.S.
It doesn't mean you have to come in last, Hype.
I don't care coming last.
I mean, as long as I'm not last on the fucking
T.O.'s Canadian list, I'm good.
Anyways, Hype is going to move to the U.S. soon enough
so we can try to get higher on the list.
We'll see if that works, if that's strategy.
I'm going to go lower on the list.
It's going to be more like I'm like 97th.
Hype, if you move over to Texas, you'll be my
number one hype man in the whole wide world.
Yeah, I don't know about me moving
to Texas. No disrespect.
I know Baka's going to say something different, but no.
I ain't moving to Texas, bro.
Yeah. Herm, what's the latest and greatest over
there, brother? I know
I can't talk about what I know, but what's the latest and greatest over there brother i know i know i can't talk about
what i know but what's going on in general uh so for those of you in the space that and i had a
conversation last night we had some big news yesterday that i can't share yet but um timeline
is moving up on some builds and um we're talking to quite a few brands right now in an effort to
piece some stuff together pretty quickly.
So there's a lot that's coming. I'll leave it at that. But I think if you understand that we're not just building digital collectibles that can be used inside our games,
they're going to be used inside partner games and metaverse worlds like Icom Island.
There's going to be a lot of value around the assets that we're building.
So, you know, just just trying to do it right, trying to take the necessary steps to build the right way and build the assets where they can
continue to exist and we don't keep recreating them. So a lot of stuff is happening, though.
For those of you that don't know, and I'll give you this little bit of a teaser if you don't know,
we have redirected all of our efforts towards mobile building this year and our first game will be
dropped on mobile and it will include quite a few brands that you know so um i'll leave it at that
but i just we've had some really really good news uh we switched dev teams we've done a lot of stuff
that um was necessary to talk to the bigger brands of the world that are starting to ask the deeper
questions about security and such and quite frankly frankly, it worked out for us and not good news for him.
But our main developer had surgery.
And when he came out of it, he decided he didn't want the stress of being a blockchain dev anymore.
And as we looked under the hood even deeper, we realized we needed to rebuild some stuff.
So things are being done and things are happening quickly.
So just be ready.
And Dylan's right, too.
There's going to be some new whips inside Income Island
and some cool stuff happening.
Dude, I'm so pumped.
Meta Rizzle, dude.
I still miss your two-second pitches back in the day.
They were legendary.
I don't know if you guys,
probably a lot of people weren't there
at our 60-day space,
but Hermie was doing two-second pitches.
They were phenomenal.
Well, not for anything.
You got one for us?
There were people that were, like,
giving a sentence-long pitch
about what they were building,
and I'm like, I got you guys beat.
They're like, what is it?
I said, cars.
But I... And that was it. Listen, we were talking about the 60 day space at dinnertime tonight and about how you met your wife there. And, um, it was, it's pretty cool. Some of the stuff that
came out of that space. I just, you know, at times there weren't a ton of people in the space,
but you really got to know people and you got to, you know, hear a little bit behind, you know,
the paywall and what people are doing and what they're all about. So,
Sid, I appreciate you for doing that, man. Again, we were just talking about it at dinner and
my wife's like, really? Like he met his wife that way? And I'm like, well, not technically in the
space, but we all got an opportunity to hear, you know, updates and stuff as that happened. But
just appreciate you guys. Sid, I'm glad you're feeling better for sure. And everybody, yeah,
everybody in the space, just keep an eye on us. There's a lot of stuff that's happening.
Yeah, like I said
MetaRides, you guys
definitely tap in.
Just a great brand, great founders.
Again, the type of people
that help out and
looking for the community to build, not just themselves.
Same thing with Hostile Crypto.
Obviously, same thing with what Dylan's building, what Hype's building, and all the other projects
that you've heard come through here tonight.
We all have the same interest in building this community and building up the chain and
cross chains, all chains.
We want there to be a big place for all of us to have fun and grow.
Hype, how are you looking, kid?
Are you serious?
We have the winner already?
Congratulations, Dylan.
Yes, we do.
But before we announce, let's get to Hoarder.
I want to talk to Hoarder real quick and connect.
I mean, again, Hoarder is obviously working with the Ape Games,
but a lot of people know Hoarder's a legend in the space with board IP
and the stuff he's built.
So I want you to hear Horder for a couple minutes here
because I know you guys are on the same page with stuff you've built
and what Horder's building on.
Not only the Ape Chain Eco, but what he's done with his own IP
and stuff for the board ape community.
So Horder, are you there?
Yeah, and by the way, before he speaks,
I think hoarder and I spoke back in the day about the bagels and a couple of
other stuff that he was building. So excited to have him here.
Yeah. Yeah. No, it's been a minute, but, but glad to connect. And, you know,
I think all, all roads lead to a chain and I'm happy to be back here here building and talking to you. Yeah, I appreciate you coming
through, brother. So give us a little update on what you're up to. I'm excited to talk to you in
the back channels about what we're building. That could be some stuff that we could collaborate on.
So just kind of let people know what you're doing that might not know what's up. Yeah, no, thank you. I think IP has kind of been the play for me.
And as I've fallen down the rabbit hole,
I come from more of the corporate professional side of it
with supply chain logistics
and being a kind of partner in the hospitality group
with bagel shops and restaurants.
So, you know, as COVID hit and we had to shut down and kind of move away from nightlife more into dining,
you know, really kind of learn from that experience to take a harder look at, you know,
take a harder look at, you know, the IP and consumer packaged goods and, you know, transitioning,
transitioning from kind of doing this for, you know, these larger Fortune 500 companies to
then take these proven products and look at doing that with the IP here in this space,
right, and scaling that out. And, you know, I think for me, it's
seeing the opportunity and leaning in more with my existing cafes, you know, kind of seeing where
hospitality is going, right? Is, you know, more of this experiential kind of hospitality, less transactional?
How do we potentially move away from and redefine what kind of showrooms are?
And I think there is definitely this redefinition of showrooms through cafes in where, you know,
in where it's this third space that people come,
sometimes multiple times a week,
where they're introduced into different things
in addition to a community, right?
So when I take a step back,
what I've experienced here in this space
and where I see cafes and events
being kind of a catalyst in,
in building communities, it's really, you know,
how can we engage in communication and how do we share these experiences?
And I think, you know, when I look across, you know,
spaces like this or, you know, what Hype's doing with the other,
other games you know, all thesepe's doing with the other games.
You know, all these are just examples of that, right?
And connecting it all together, right?
So, yeah, I think it's a little bit of product development against, you know, some of these events and the setting of a cafe.
But, you know, where,
where is the trend leading to? And I think there's a lot of,
a lot of energy and focus on the health and health and wellness space as we see
kind of also nightlife and events transition there. So for me,
it's kind of like trying to take a step back from there
to look at the products that
we can create and develop
against that space
having this showroom
in my cafes but then also
standing up experiential
things like Ape Games
and leveraging Ape Fest to
garner further brand awareness and products penetration.
Yeah, brother, I love what you're building.
Obviously, I'm an IP guy.
That's how I built my whole career through all the different industries
that I've been involved with for the last 35 years. And, you know, watching what you're doing is, you know,
hopefully an inspiration to people in the space who are sitting on all this dope IP and hopefully
will utilize it at some point. That's really been a big part of what we've been building at NFA.
And so, you know, I'm really excited for your success and really excited to kind of fill you in on what we're building in Las Vegas and how we're going to utilize the IP that we've acquired and licensed to push the vision forward.
Exactly what you're talking about.
Yeah, I know.
And, you know, I think there's a lot of I mean, you guys are building actual, what sounds like venue and experience in Vegas kind of more permanently.
You know, my kind of like home base is here on the East Coast.
But, you know, with A-Fest being in Vegas, I think it's a huge opportunity to kind of look at this time frame in which the communities kind of look at this, um, this timeframe in which the communities kind of, kind of come together and,
you know, how do we, um, kind of put on and, and show up for the community to, um, to kind of, uh,
you know, really, really kind of get the eyes on it that we, we want, you know, and, um, that's
where I've also partnered with, um, Ape Concierge andge. And, you know, we're kind of taking over the Conrad Hotel on the Strip, booked out about 60,000 square feet of their hotel to do a bunch of different things.
One being Ape Games, you know, also like the official after party of Ape Fest will be there as well.
if Ape Fest will be there as well.
So throwing a bunch of activations.
So throwing a bunch of activations.
So looking forward to it and definitely would love to connect with you
to see if there's any synergies there.
Yeah, our goal once we're open is to definitely host Ape Chain at our venue,
and I think people will find it to be the perfect situation.
We're still a little bit away.
We're hoping to get our, you know, break ground
sooner than later, but we have the property. We're working right now with architects to get it laid
out and finalized. I'm hoping to have actually some CADs back in the next week or two. We'll
start to work on our permitting and we're off to the races. So we will definitely, definitely be chopping it up.
I sent you a message already to your DMs and we'll chat and we'll see how we can connect some dots together.
Sounds great.
Thanks, Warner.
I know we're – and by the way, I just want to thank everybody for rolling through tonight.

Appreciate you being number eight,
moving up the list very slowly, but going to get there one day. And everybody else that came through
and just supported and being in the space, you know, the point of this is we're going to be doing
this every Wednesday. Any projects you want to come through and spend a little time with us,
talking about what they got going on. It doesn't have to be Ape Chain, but I thought we kick off
tonight with a lot of the pillars in the community and a lot of people I look up to, as well as people that are really recognized in the space and
building on Ape Chain. And there's a ton more that are down there and out there that we've had in a
couple of our spaces, but I'd love to have them come through and come back. We would love to have
you all come through. But yeah, Sid, I mean, we got Drips up here as well. Yeah, let me, I'll get
