So pumped for today's episode
The Art Basel looked amazing from the timeline
And I can't wait to hear more from you guys
We have an all-star team on the stage today
Our previous Miami Art Basel wrap-up
It was hype even last year
But it looks absolutely brilliant
Had an incredible experience
You know, what happened with that toilet?
I have no idea what's happening there
Before we invite our guests on stage
How you doing, bro, today?
Man, super happy about the space today
With all these friends here
That are already on the stage
And in the audience down there
And of course I had FOMO, man
Like if you spend some time on Twitter
And you see everyone, you know
You know, I'm happy to be here
And happy to kick off the show, man
That backflip that Quint did
I never seen anything like that
It was really, really brilliant
So definitely need to learn
You don't flex with your PFPs anymore
You need to have some skills
So I think that's a good one
Man, the market is changing
You know, it's not like the old days
I don't know what you guys did
Everything dropped, you know
So you probably needed to pay
And a luxury accommodation
Someone ripped the toilet
Damn, I need to sell that shit
And they say they are collectors
You collect just valuable stuff
You don't want to collect everything
You wanted to say something
That you were shopping, actually
I've been always shopping
I was actually shopping books
I have it on my Kindle now
From the Coffee with Captain
So excited to have you here
It was fucking amazing time
Yeah, I call it bro voice
Like I think we're talking
About that you're joining
What's happening in this space
What happened to the toilet?
What's the alpha of that?
I've had this orange background
Hopped on the original train
And then I was the last one
And it helps you stand out
You get into the bathroom
They really want the ladies
But I'm going for the question
Because of the provenance
Checked what I have there
I wanted to announce the sponsor first of this show but you know
Do it I'm surprised actually so I'm curious
Send it it's a peak mood drink you know send it send me zero eat every week so we have third sponsor actually and talking about Pudgy they did a call with Pudgy and that's why we have Adam here because send
Sorry Laura's here now uh we're all this brunch I'm good I'm fucking exhausted guys I have a 14 hour flight tonight I'm not looking forward to it but it's been a great week and met so many amazing people and you know we're vibing so
Wait are you still on that brunch that I saw the photo posted like four hours ago
No we just got here I'm not really sure the details I'm currently looking at Cyrus right now
By the hey guys hey yeah um dude great uh great week though truly everyone had great events shout out to rug radio shout out to quinn shout out specifically to Jen
Casino for being the absolute goat of event coordination because that event was nothing but seamless the entire time just we're pulling up and walking in it was always a good vibe so
um shout out to d gods frank fucking and kevin and aaron it was a great event they're very
Hospitable artifact is super cool even though they made us wait in line
And i'm sure i'm forgetting something that was the worst lab just dope and bing bong of course gg snaps everyone did great it was it was an incredible week truly
Man and you had also amazing announcement uh so uh yeah how was it actually live announcing pudgy world you know what was the reaction there
uh, I saw some videos but how was the vibe there life
It was it was pretty crazy because it was so packed that like I feel like
Fucking like 60 of the people that were there weren't even inside for the announcement
And everyone was like, did we miss it? I was like, yeah, dude, you gotta go on twitter and retweet that shit right now, man
Um, so a lot of people missed it, you know, I think I think uh, I think if we had Jen facino
We would have probably snapped like rug radio did but regardless it was really it was an amazing event
Um, everyone i've asked I said don't be biased actually tell me everyone said it was really good
I think the biggest thing my bad might be really windy
Um, but I think the biggest thing people liked was the food peter is like a big foodie uh chef goer d on twitter
He's our uh chief creative officer. He's a big foodie. So we had like wagyu burgers and stuff and
Um, the food was great. It was so good
Damn like having a the the great food on on events is the alpha
Uh, because djens and everyone you know, we love to eat great stuff like we ate a great stuff in hong kong
right chobis bro, they had um
Korean food they had um bulgogi bulgogi there
So I was I was excited because I lived in korea for a year
actual korean chef and they were also making corn dogs these
Beautiful decorated corn dogs and I didn't take a picture of them. Uh
twit x rug my my videos my life videos
But the pudgy event was amazing man as soon as you walk in there's a long line at the bar
Uh, well the the highlight was
And lorenzo meeting and greeting everyone as they walked in
I think that was the highlight to have the founder and the president
CEO and the president greeting you as you walked in
That was amazing. Um, they were giving away merch and plushies
They had the claw machine. They had cameras walking around
um, they had these boots up where you can take multiple multiple photos
The penguins dressed up. Um, i'm trying to remember their names
I can't remember their names
Pudgy and peaches pudgy and peaches pudgy and peaches there we go
I'm saying pingu. Sorry. That's different
um, pudgy and peaches. Yeah, I mean and
And the vibe was there's a lot of people there
It was a huge um venue you people hung around at the front
But if you walked all the way to the back, there was a lot of room
So people were just crowded inside around the claw machine trying to win, um, these little
Love to hear that man. It's amazing
Uh, it's also awesome that pudgies like since I know, uh, you know, since luca, uh, look up bottom
I think it's up only, you know, so
For the holders and everyone involved, it has to be such an incredible ride, you know with all the announcement announcements
Adam, how does it feel you know to be part of this?
Um, I was telling someone the other day
That's the first time in web three for the past like three years
I actually truly feel fulfillment and passion from something
Um, everyone on the street team truly are really great people
Like show was saying luca and
Lorenzo were sitting outside for like an hour and a half
Greeting every every single person that came into that event like met luca and lorenzo
And I think that goes a long way. I know this there's a lot of ego in this space and in this world and
It's refreshing to work with people who drop the bullshit and just
Are good people um, but not only that but have good intentions
Um, I don't know man. I made a I've been looking back. I i'm always on go mode, so I don't really get to sit and like
Think about everything that's happened, but
Um, I was looking back at comic-con and dude
We're asleep. I was sleeping on the floor and we were getting up super early to
Get there and day one we sold out and just like straight up startup vibes
And just to see even from then to now like in walmart and and everything going on
It's really incredible and I can't even take credit for any of that. It's it's truly
luca and and peter and lorenzo and vedant and the whole core team they've they've really just
Blown my mind because I think over the past a few years. I don't know how long everyone's been here
But we've seen so many people drop the ball and and some incredible projects just sadly fail
Um due to just lack of I don't know lack of a lot of different things
So it's um, it's refreshing to see people push the space forward
It's incredible to be a part of it for sure
I agree and it's also hope for other projects and other holders, right?
Like I have some stuff that I would really love to you know that some some, you know
Entrepreneur buys that projects and push it uh to the new heights. That would be amazing because the the art is amazing or
I think it showed that it's possible
Yeah, I'll just quickly like it also shows like for other projects that you can make it even like in a heavy bear market
Right, because I think badges they never experienced the real bull market, right?
They were acquired in these hard times and building it through it like since then
So it's kind of fascinating and a nice example send it go for it
Yeah, I love the pudgy event. I thought it was really good. I think the team
Did really well to get it all together and what I was really happy with there seeing was like everyone showed up to support the team
Um, as adam mentioned when we when you got there
Luca and lorenzo were there greeting everyone and it wasn't just like a quick i'm the founder higher, you know
Just like i'm a celeb. Let me quickly wave and say hi
They were individually going up to each person in the queue saying hello
Chating to them. It was it was really impressive to see and then once I got inside
Everyone was there like illa was there repping the ball date team supporting
um, stevie williams was there
Uh, like scott fu was there like everyone all the different people from different projects different communities
All there supporting um, the pudgy team
Which was great to see because on the timeline there's a lot of us versus them and all of that
You know sort of bullshit that you see people trying to pin the different projects against each other
But at the actual event everyone was there the artifact crew were there
So, um, yeah, it was really nice it was as a final night everyone coming together and uh, and supporting
Pudgy after after the good run they've had
Um, so that was really cool and the merch was sick as well. They had really good merch
Uh at the pudgy event as well, which I think is coming out soon
So the merch is uh unreleased so uh, there's gonna be for sale
Yeah, I think adam can probably talk more on it, but there was stuff that was exclusive there
Uh, and then some of it I believe is going going online
Yeah, some sorry guys i'm inside now i'm at a brunch so it might be a little loud
Um, some of it there's some that's going to be just exclusive for that event and the rest of it should be on our shop in like a week
But yeah, no, I I think we I think peter definitely snapped with this drop
I know people had some comments about some previous drops, whatever, but this this new stuff is super
It really is it's it's it's I like it a lot. I'm not just biased. I swear
I can't wait to see that actually, you know, maybe maybe send it send us some photos, you know, how you wear that
Uh, you you have a cool style. I saw a few of your photos of of man
Actually, you wore the the what's the name of the brand like echo or eco or how you pronounce that
Yeah, man had to pull out of the old school echo
Yeah, I remember that bro
Yeah, it's a classic brand people don't really remember it, but it's one of the first sort of skate streetwear brands
I remember seeing growing up so and I actually got that shirt from america
So I had to I had to pull it out for the occasion
That's awesome adam go ahead
Yo, i'm gonna say i'm a hot bodyer guys
I'm with a bunch of friends who are leaving to the airport in about an hour or two
So I want to make sure I connect and say bye to everyone but much love grateful much love beast
I'll talk to you guys soon for sure. I love you all you guys. Thank you
Thank you so much and have fun safe travels
Love you man. Thanks for joining us and yeah, see you soon somewhere on some of the events
What a legend happy birthday happy birthday, bro
Adam's a fucking legend. He was top peeps looked after us
Really really cool guys. It was really nice to meet meet them. What's mad about the pudgy team is as well as they're also young
Like they're literally all under 30s mental
Uh, how much they're achieving, but I think that's also why they're
Doing so well because they understand social media
And they understand how to build a modern day cultural brand
um, so I think their age is also
The reason why the pudgy team is actually
Outperforming most projects at the moment is that sort of younger connection to the to the youth market
Um, so yeah, that was it was really nice to meet them all
Yeah, I agree man, I agree and they are killing it. Uh, so
I really wish you know, uh
All the projects, you know do well everyone's doing some you know kind of different stuff
Uh, but we have to test a lot of things, you know to figure out what works and what doesn't work. So love to see that
Showbiz go ahead and then I
Uh, we'll refresh the room guys and circle around to say hi also to tino
I'm grateful. I just wanted to touch on a little bit of what send it said um with
illa going around, you know supporting a lot of the projects
I mean, I ran into illa at just about every single pro um event. I was at
He was at the pudgy event. He was at the od event. He was at the sappy seal event
You know, we had a conversation yesterday at the
Um yesterday on sunday at the board clubhouse, you know
Um, shout out to von cross met him at the
Arf basil, you know, I just want to say what's up to him
And we met so many people, you know, I got to hang out with seph
I mean me and seph hang out a whole lot
We were talking and we had a conversation. We're like
Hey, you know, we're there to support
All of web three, right? You know
Stop thinking about just one project and and being there to support every single project
Whether it's just showing up or
Or you know when you're on when you're
You know doing great things in the space, you know
Keep cheering you on because you know, there's every project is learning from you know learning from each other
You know, you're doing something successful in the space
You should use the playbook, you know
And and try to be successful as well, so
You know, that's one thing I saw iller everywhere
So yeah, definitely wanted to shout that out
Yeah, shout iller honestly such a nice guy
Like you meet all these web free influences
I was chatting to von about it earlier a couple of them definitely had a bit of an ego
And then you meet people like iller the producer farooq people like that who are actual
Real g's in the space and they were so humble and down to earth iller was chatting to everyone
He was it we were at the d gods house together
He offered to look after us as well with anything we needed whilst we're in miami
Um, yeah proper proper hospitality from iller which he doesn't have to do at all
So yeah, I was really impressed
To see iller everywhere as well and we had a really good time with him as well
He's fucking legend like it's impressive that he's really like connecting the communities
I remember doing the nft nyc this year actually doing the azuki community event
illa was there and he was sharing like we're in this together right like supporting everyone
So it's a it's a beautiful part of web 3 when people can really do it
We saw it with gordon also right like after
He tweeted at a pudger pudge verse look looks fucking cute that he wants to play it
And I think this is what we need in the space so that we really you know, like a one one web free
Founders and project team members are scared to credit other projects
I don't really know what that's about. It's a bit weird. It's almost like they're not allowed to or I don't know, man
But yeah, it's really good gordon actually did that. I didn't see anyone else do it
Um, but yeah, we need we need more of that just casually it shouldn't be such a big thing to tweet
You know just to put out a tweet going oh that looks good or congrats to
This project like if everyone did that around each big drop then every drop would get a lot more attention and cross community
Involvement as well. So yeah, definitely gordon as always leading leading the charge
We missed him though in miami. I would have loved to seen him
I'll kind of wanted to message him and bother him whilst we were in town
But if i'm gonna leave him to rest, but he was definitely definitely missed as well
Yo, um, I would like to say something on that aspect as well, too
Just like you know, it's it's simple just show love like you know people putting in work people putting in you know time effort into all this product and
Experiences that they drop it and stuff like that
It don't it's not hard to just show some love and just be like yo, what you're doing is fire. Like it's so simple
I 100% agree and it's quite easy, right?
It's like not rocket science, right? Like uh, everyone knows about like especially projects founders
They know what's happening in the space
And it's not that hard to to support others, you know, which by the way
I think clone is also doing a fantastic job in this, you know supporting other communities
So i'm really really bullish on on cool cats, too. Oh my god, that's awesome to see that
Oh my god, I gotta say clon was probably the one everyone was most starstruck by
Meeting meeting him at every event. I saw people were just crowded around him
Even all the other founders like soon as everyone saw him at the artifact team
Uh, like I just saw a circle with the pudgy team wow
Artifact crew everyone wanted to meet him
And I was lucky enough to meet him
We were both talking about beast for about 10 minutes as well
Um, so yeah, in what way, man?
In a bad way, of course in a bad way
No, but it was mad cool. I was I was slightly starstruck seeing him. I was like, oh shit
It's clon from cool cats. Like it was it was mad to see him there and the mural looked amazing
He showed us a little preview on his phone before they um unveiled it
Which was really nice of him as well. And yeah, they killed it. They did really well
That's amazing man. Also guys, if you want to add anything or hop into the discussion, just raise your hand
You know, I will I will get it to you
I I just want to say hi to tino
Because send it you talk about that
Pajis there they were born with the cell phones with social media
And uh, you know, tino he was born with the electricity actually his best friend was thomas edison, you know, so
How are you doing tino? What's good?
It was nicolai tesla bro. I keep telling you it was tesla gmgm everybody
Really good to listen to uh to the vibes from miami
So amazing and and also like I have to you know, like just two things. Uh, illa first thing, uh, he's also you're really supportive
For made by apes. He's literally doing like a customer care, you know
Like I had some some issues with my license and he's like dude if I was a technical guy
I would just click it myself, you know, and he was like really nice to really go and ask people from the team and
And get the answers for me and also what you said like, uh
Supporting each other in terms of project as as we keep saying, you know
Like a retweet is free, you know, like it doesn't cost zero eat to be kind and and to even like show love
And I think this is this is a must and as you guys said, uh
Uh, gordon, uh, you know, he's showing the the way how it should be and how it was in the beginning of the web free, right?
Because there it was not that much happening
So we were kind of like helping each other and we still are but from like the founder side
It became in in some points like a bit of too much of a business. So it's amazing. And uh, yeah, so gm guys
Gmgm and welcome here super pumped that you made it and yeah, I agree like gordon's amazing and there are many amazing founders
Actually in the web three space and even we are not a the biggest space like uh, you can find incredible people
And also incredible collectors and djn. So, uh, it's always awesome to meet you guys irl
Uh, I go through the hands and if he drew and then sepsos
Yeah, I just I just wanted to add on to it. I don't you know
I think this whole connotation of you know, there's competition in the space. We're not lifting and supporting each other when
The space is so small. It's just kind of it's kind of funny
I mean, obviously all the founders that you guys named are doing a a wonderful job
And I think that obviously it's reflecting that and for all the founders that are sitting here wondering
You know, why are things not going my way like they are there and you know, quote unquote just waiting for the bowl like
You have to keep your community
Engaged, you know your core community that's there and then you also have to make sure that you're onboarding and you know
Showing up at these and you know, IRL events
Like luca being at the door shaking everyone's hands
Like that really does make all the difference for a lot of people and you know giving shout outs and flowers to others
I mean, we just have to do that stuff like this space is so small like the competition
This it's this just not even I just can't even fathom that because of how small the space is
To be honest and if you drew, I think
The there is a competition but not not in web 3 there if you know
We see web 3 games, but they are competing with web 2 games, right?
We're not competing against each other. We compete with the with the world outside
And if we gotta be fighting against each other, I think we gotta miss the big picture
So it makes zero zero sense to do that
Yeah, absolutely and you know these like small just
Get gestures or like small details. They they actually make the big difference like whether we talk about like luca shaking hands with
Everyone it basically shows that he cares that he cares about his community right that he cares about the people
So it's like I would say it's like super important and super nice
The same like when we talk about the tweets from founders when they support someone again
It's like a small detail, but it shows like hey we stand for something we believe also in other projects
We want them to grow also. We want to succeed together
So I really like trying to pay attention to these small details because like at the end of the day
It's really like a you know like a big ones
I think it makes all the difference. I mean, you know, it's the kind of the ethos of web 3 from a, you know
Transparency decentralization perspective, right? Like, you know, again, that example him standing at the door like
You know comparatively, it's you know, the the dude in charge, right?
Like it's not you know, some big huge web 2 company where the ceo is hiding behind, you know, door members
Or I mean board members behind other people you'll never get to see them except for when they come on for
You know a message. I mean again, you know, it just kind of really does make all the difference like you're saying
Yeah, I absolutely love also to to see the journey of the founders and of the people in the space, right?
I still remember that that panel in in london
I still remember when showbiz
After he bought a mutant and you know pay man and everyone when we met quinn in during an empty parry, etc, etc
Like this is such a such an awesome thing
Like you basically see the growth of the people like that. That's that's amazing
But yeah, sepsos go ahead
Well, yeah, what's up guys, uh, I just want to touch on that, too
I met a lot of a lot of other eight beverage like makers, you know, like
There was a spirit punks, you know, they're doing the board vodka
There's a captain fuego. There's the 288 and we're all uh, we're all talking to each other and just there's a big mutual respect
We're all trying trying each other stuff, you know, like saying like shit like we're not we're not messing around
You know, like everyone here. It's not like just some vodka that they found like everything tasted really really good
And I'm just seeing everyone and it was almost like you can kind of like
Shake their hand and understand what each other is going through, you know, because we're all like yeah, let's let's make this happen
We believe in this so much. We also like to have community and have drinks and everything
And that was a big part of it for me just to kind of like give everyone like the nod of approval and being there
That's one thing. I haven't been able to do
Because I've had down building but like it made me maybe wish I went to hong kong, you know
Really get my face out there a little bit more
One of the first people I met actually was showbiz on our on our first event for a fine
Like he came in and and he wasn't made by member and he he heard about about our event and I was like
Well, they're for eight blind members only, you know
And he immediately bought an eight blind a membership and he came to he came to pretty much all of the events we threw
Uh, and actually I want to hear from showbiz. I want to I want to hear from his perspective that first party when we find when we finally met
Uh me and him. I don't know if he was smoking hookah
But I was trying not to drink that much
But I probably smoked two whole hookahs to myself
Like at the party to try and avoid uh drinking
But but yeah, that's probably what my voice is shot either
But showbiz man, please come up here. Tell me tell me from your perspective. How that party was what's going on?
What's up brother? Oh, man, so
This guy is amazing the hospitality
You know just showing all love man
No, I didn't smoke the hookah man. I I don't smoke
But I got plenty of secondhand smoke of course
But yeah, man, um all the events, you know being an ape vine holder you sent me
um invites to everything man
They were really good events. I mean, I had a blast of your events. Um
Artists, you know drawing
I mean, it was by the pool at the hotels
I mean the vibe was amazing and there was a lot of people there
You know being a host at the at the two different hotels that you had the events at that was amazing
You know being a sponsor, you know, and
You know meeting and greeting people and pouring them
You know a glass of wine for them to taste it
You know, this guy was out there, you know
Um, and that's what it's all about and
When when we got to um beat basil
Um, where profits and scott, you know, were throwing their event, you know
He connected with captain fuego and um
And these guys, you know, they they had some good conversations, you know, and
You know, it that's what it's all about. It's it's not about
Oh, mine is better than yours, you know, it's about supporting each other and drinking each other's um
Alcohol to support each other
I know that's kind of something drink each other's alcohol, but yeah
Sounds like a hard joke and a hard thing to do showbiz
I mean, I got like I got really messed up when I was trying the spirit punks
Because they just poured me a big glass and I was like, dude, okay, and I drank it
I think I had to I think showbiz and I were supposed to leave together
I think I just went like I got to get out of here like I'm too messed up
Oh, but yeah, I mean everybody
Everybody is just keep showing each other love man, and that's what it's all about
You know, I I couldn't reconnected with my buddy. Um, sincere
You know, he was going through a really tough time
I'm we actually for the first time we met at the fuck it weekend we he flew in for us to meet up
We reconnected back in miami again because him and his girlfriend
Lost their baby and so it was all about connecting with him and just hanging out with them, you know, so
So, you know, I hung out with him, you know, and
Yeah, that's that was that was about it, you know, just connecting with people man. That's all I love doing
You know, I'm not building any projects. I'm just not yet, you know
Um, and when I do, you know, I'll be looking to my friends for some, you know to help support me, you know
Building all these cool relationships with people
I can confirm showbiz you always have the best time, you know, I saw you in hong kong and you were everywhere you were
Vibing, you know partying having fun. It was awesome to meet you there, bro
Yeah, I also saw studio payment. I saw your hand guys
Yeah, I just wanted to add if I may I just wanted to add that you know, this movement the web stream movement
Is not about competition is about collaboration and it's about love and showing each other
You're like making sure that you empower everyone to be their best self, you know, like the
Literally, I met og artist friends like robness and coldi and
you know, like builders like, you know, the
you know, the founders of
um, rarible alexi and alex such humble people this guy just like when I got me a sandwich and came back
Even though I didn't even want it. Like he was like, hey, I'm going to get a sandwich. Can I get you something?
I said no, man, I just had dinner
But he's like i'm getting you something so he brought a sandwich back and you know, I also wanted to encourage everyone
I heard about the ordinals earlier at the beginning of the show
I had on I had the honor to stay at the ordinal's mansion with the cypherpunk
Group and you know got to meet casey the founder of
Ordinals and so I think that we have to be open to
Opening the you know, our minds and welcoming builders that have
Great means, you know, they're trying to build on what we have built for the last three years. So
I just feel like every time I go to these events, I continue to grow
I continue to get inspired
By everyone by all of you and you know for those that didn't make it
I want you to know that you're represented when we are there like, you know grateful
I reached out to you and I said hey, man, if you're not coming
I'm going to be talking about your chocolate bar, which I did, you know, I was looking for beast because I thought just like
You know, new york he was there and it was just like a scavenger hunt hunting and finding beast, you know
So I was like asking everybody. Have you seen beast?
Is he here because in new york? He was supposed to meet up with me and I just couldn't find the guy so
Yeah, I just wanted to encourage everyone to you know
Open the their arms and widen the circle make sure that everyone has a seat at the table
And it's not just about a handful of or you know a group of people. It's more about
Everyone and you know every time I go to these events, by the way, I come back
And I feel super like even though i'm tired and I have to catch up with irl work
I just feel super inspired and I feel super excited about the future so
And you know lastly I wanted to share this too, you know, I've like
Haven't really shared much of my art. I've just been like helping onboarding curating
I worked with the base uh house team and layer and we curated a really beautiful show of
You know artists big and small up come up and coming and you know
Legends and that was amazing too, you know
And I actually released an open edition after three years of being here since 2021
I only had five minutes and so my first open edition and I might actually just uh post it up there
Thank you. It's all about sharing sharing your
Your original story and empowering each other to tell these like our stories because the stories are what connects us
And when you see each other in person
Like we did back in you know last year's art bagel and we gave each other hugs and we looking through each other's eyes and speak because it's much more
Much more um, you know, like I don't know it brings you much closer to each other
And so I just wanted to share that and thank you beast. I will I I will post my
Thing on the dramatron, but yeah, I just love everybody. You guys have the best show
I missed hearing your voices and before I just mute I want to say congratulations to you on 226
And I want to also just say thanks to everyone that
You know supports one another like you guys mentioned illa. Um, that guy is dope. I like saw him everywhere, you know from
events, uh, you know nft now events when like the first event I went to the rug radio like
Everything like makers place transient labs. I mean
That's what it's about. It's about supporting one another. It actually doesn't take anything away from you
It actually adds to you and your legacy. So yeah, I just want to encourage everyone to have love for another
And just um elevate and empower
Love you payment. Thank you so much, man
Let's go man. Always great to have you here
Guys, I know your voices are tired
It's always like that, but I wanted to ask you, you know
a few of you were on a fest and many other
nft events like nft london
How would you compare art basel to these events that you experienced before maybe you experienced the art basel last year?
Um, I don't know send it if if you if you still good, uh
I would love to hear your opinion man
Well, I didn't go to last year's one so it's hard for me to compare it's the first time
Um, but for me it was really good. It was better than I expected
Didn't realize is that the market would be in a good place
I think a lot of people slept on uh, this year's art basel both from the traditional art space
Also, obviously in the web free space
That was a good thing because it also removed
a load of fluff and a load of people there there for the wrong reasons
So it felt quite pure this year to me anyway and speaking to other people
like it felt like it was kind of back to the essence
Of uh, what it's about as well. So I I liked that aspect of it that
It kind of yeah people weren't expecting this to be a hype moment and then
Obviously, we got lucky with the market and everyone was in really good spirits
You could just tell everyone was in in good form. No one was moaning or complaining
About their bags being down. Um, there's no funny jokes about that people are just genuinely happy
Uh, and like you guys always advocate for it, you know, the the irl events
Um, uh, are really really not to be missed if you can go and obviously if you can afford to travel to another country, etc
You should definitely do it and it made it a lot easier as well because there's so many people there
Every day you don't have to worry about. Oh, what have I got to do?
Like where is everyone gonna be it felt quite easy as well just to kind of like go out and about
Um and see everyone which I really liked as well. It wasn't too difficult
Bearing in mind it was in you know all the way across the pond
And like if you asked me let's say three months ago
Uh, I would say that like in terms of nft projects the art bars is gonna be smaller this year
So, um, I was actually really like nicely surprised that
Many people said it was the best time they had so far that like everyone was like having a good time
There was this like a bull market vibe, but still I guess it wasn't like crazy, right?
It's like we just talking about money and flipping and stuff like it was still like creating building, right?
Yeah, everyone no one was talking about money
No one was like, you know, the euphoria wasn't like that
It was just more of a positive vibe
And everyone trying to connect as well because I think a lot of people have worked
Hard this year to stick through this bear market right and and and make sure that they they uh held on
Bags they had or however they they survived through the bear
so I think it was just like a a real kind of
Positive moment for the space to kind of come together and and kind of celebrate that celebrate making it through through this crazy up and down year
Yeah, I I agree man like that the IRL vibes are always different and
Like uh, often the twitter timeline is absolutely disconnected from reality, you know, uh, what happened like the same happened during the eight
Fest this year and many other events
By the way guys check the comments
Because sepsos pinned something amazing there guys
Also, if you have some photos that you want to share hop into the comments share it there because
Uh, I I want to definitely see it but yeah, uh, it's it's amazing to see the builders and I think bear market changed it a lot
I remember and nft nyc 22 that was still kind of like a
Little bit at least or was it bull beast. I don't even remember. Yeah, it was a vibe. It was a vibe, right?
So this definitely changed and you know, everyone that spends money to travel abroad for nft events like is is dedicated, you know
It's a it's someone that really uh
Is pushing something in web 3. So I absolutely love that man, but beast you wanted to add something go ahead, bro
Yeah, I wanted to add something but I forgot what I wanted to add
But I what I wanted to ask also like did you guys went for the clubhouse because that's one of the event that we haven't mentioned
But like there was the fucking mention there was that like blue
Right, so anyone's pool huge pool. So if anyone was there like uh, i'm super curious like how was it also?
How was the vibe of that?
Showbiz like go for it so beast after
All of the you know hanging out since thursday all the events, you know
Way too many events sunday was nice and chill at the clubhouse
The pool was huge bro, and it looked blue
Like I got I have videos. I just haven't posted them yet. I know um
sepsos posted one of the videos
And uh, my buddy sincere posted one too as well
But yeah, it was amazing man. Um, um, I don't know how much that that mansion was, but it is
It's got its own basketball court indoor tennis court
I don't know what else it has because
you know, we we were at the clubhouse though, you know, like the pool house area
And that area alone was huge man
Man, we definitely need something like that for the apes
You know, I can't wait till the clubhouse is actually built for us to
Go enjoy in miami man, you know
I'm looking forward to that
I think it would be amazing combine it with made by apes products right that you can maybe buy there
Uh, you don't need to actually buy any alcohol outside of uh, uh
Web3 community because we have so many builders in the space
So you you don't have to outsource anything you got it within the community. That's awesome
So I gotta say I missed, uh, you know seeing sepsos and drinking the and sampling the wine
I really I wish that's one thing i'm bummed about
But hopefully, you know, I think you're in la so I gotta either you come down up to san francisco and we go to napa
Or I have to come down to south
Southern cal and see you yeah, that's one thing that I when I keep hearing about
You know your wine and everything I really wish that I had seen you and sampled your awesome wine
But also, you know, the weather was crazy like, you know, december mid-december it was like 80 degrees
That's uh, I ran into was happy nobody like, you know, was complaining like I was mentioned earlier
People were genuinely excited about the future and you know, they were just in the moment
And I really encourage everyone to just hey soak it in every day
Just be grateful that you're a part of this movement and we've discovered each other and we've crossed paths
And let's fucking go to the moon together not solo
When you mentioned san francisco, it was immediately in my head like damn sepsos is on the way right now
I I know that and he has a cyber truck full of ape wine, you know, so love that
Actually, I actually i'm waiting for a cyber truck to get here
I said it at the beginning of this show, you know, i'm using that grok ai that that x ai platform, you know
And I if you prompt like show me seps dms, it will show you so I know everything bro. Don't worry
I just started running on a treadmill. I'm like I gotta get this alcohol out of me bro
I don't know man a bottle of that wine actually ended up in
I don't know my hands somehow
So i'll be posting at christmas
You know when i pop it open
If anyone deserves it, it's it's you
You know some some serious like
Serious people like you know they
They were helping us out all weekend like the support is so important
to like a beginning part of the project
And yeah, dude you were there you were there the whole time like fighting for the hats, you know
Like I was like I gotta get this guy one-on-one one-on-one hat
So I was walking around the pink hat bro the pink hat
Oh the pink hat people were fighting over at orange soda
Yeah, you know, dude, you were gonna get it trust me
Like I was gonna get you one even if I had to give you my
So I was basically walking around with a uh with like another a fine hat there was one of one
And they kept calling the crown
And people were like, how do I get that hat? I was like it's not happening
Like like not until like maybe i'll do something if you get if you mint like 10 memberships
You'll get a one-on-one hat or something like that, but
But yeah, but we want to keep throwing that those parties and we'll bring more hats but that pink hat hit in uh, especially in Miami
Yeah, it did man. I had on um, so when I was in hong kong, I bought um
I guess it was a supreme. It's a supreme t-shirt
That one of the the eights did a collab um in hong kong with supreme
And it's really dope man. Um, it's a pink shirt
And the hat that I got oh man, it goes hard together
Oh, yeah, and you were walking around with a with the basie hat
Uh, yeah, I see that and under the pink hat
I think I got a photo that somewhere man, but I got to go through I got thousands of photos like of this weekend
Uh, that's why I keep telling people to follow the instagram because I can't just keep posting them on twitter, you know
It's gonna take over my whole timeline
Guys definitely want to see more photos. So if you have anything
Uh share it on the timeline or share the instagram share your instagram with us so we can see it
Um, we are slowly about to to wrap it up guys. The energy was insane today
I have to say that it was absolutely amazing. It's also like we always love to do like
Uh rep ups after irl events because it's always the vibe, you know, it's always the best
Uh, it's unreal. So big shout out to everyone who joined us on stage today. Thank you so much guys. Bees go ahead
Yeah, fucking beautiful guys. Like thanks for joining us
I have one more question for send it because like I saw the peak everywhere
Of course, I saw all these photos, but I haven't tasted it yet
I'm fucking curious. Yeah, like is this like pudgy editions gonna be available to get somewhere or was that just for the event or
Like how you know, like how can what can people do?
Um, so those were just for the event and they were limited edition
Um, we wanted to test them out with the pudgy community
Um, and it was quite interesting. I was chatting to the team
ahead of the event and um, they kind of were telling me
That this is how they kind of introduce all of their products
Which I found really interesting and what they meant by that was
Everything that we now see and kind of think is more regular pudgy products like the toys, etc
It all started with them testing them for free
uh, at their events or at community events and just
Giving them out seeing how they go down
seeing what the reaction was
Um, so that's exactly what we did with the drinks was we we used the art basil event as a bit of a tester
Um, to see how they went down
Uh, I mean, yeah, hopefully
We're going to be doing more next year
Um, there's nothing nothing confirmed or planned yet, but they're really big supporters of the drink
Uh, they've like we sent a load to the house a few months ago, so they've been drinking it for a while
Uh, anyway before the event. Um, and yeah, hopefully we can do more next year
Uh, we definitely want to get out to america more next year. We've just been focused on uk
Which is why you guys haven't had it yet either
Um, but next year we're definitely going to be
Uh branching out of america. So hopefully
Uh, everyone can can give them a try
Set me up for the pudgy Davebein collab
Yeah, I think these co-ops are quite cool, right?
Uh, if you already have a product, uh
That that's amazing. So, uh, send it. I can't wait to actually try it
Uh, sounds great. Uh, bees know a little bit more than me. So, uh, yeah
