Thank you. Well, well, well, welcome back everybody. Happy Friday. Welcome up. It is that time of the week.
I invite all of you out there who want to come up. If you're new to the community,
if you're an old friend, you want to come up, talk about what you're cooking up,
what you're building, simply what you're excited about this weekend. I'm
excited. I finally got some sunshine. It's about to be Mother's Day. There's all sorts of stuff to
talk about. Illa will be joining us shortly. He's often doing something that we can't talk about,
so he'll be here joining us in just a minute. In the meantime, I'm going to say what's up to
Baca because you jumped up here with the quickness, man. How you doing, I'm going to say what's up to Baca because you jumped
up here with the quickness, man. How you doing, homie? You run the spaces so much that you
can't be in the audience, huh?
No, no, I can't, dude.
I get that.
Yeah, I just have to be a part of it. It's fun, though. But yeah, dude, Mother's Day.
Dude, I haven't even bought my gift yet, bro. What am I doing? What am I doing, man?
I gotta get to that.
Thought you cut out for a second.
Yeah, I'm going to a Renaissance
fair with my mom tomorrow somewhere
in LA, so that should be
interesting. We'll see how that goes.
I have not been to a Renaissance fair in a very long time. So thank goodness for social media, get an idea of what
it looks like. Realize I don't have anything to dress up in. So we'll see. We'll see. Up above
guys, in the meantime, I pinned up above the spaces. While we're waiting for more people to
join us, go ahead and share that out. Let all of our friends know it's time to get together, talk about what's going on this week for us.
There's always a ton going on.
I saw this week that Ape Chain is now on Nifty Island, and I was listening to ad spaces.
That seemed like a really interesting thing now that I've got to learn a little bit more about.
There's just always so much going on in the ecosystem.
Baka, what's on your radar right now?
What are you looking at?
As far as Ape Chain?
As far as Ape Chain, life, whatever, man, as being a club member,
what are you focused on right now?
Oh, dude. Honestly, I'm kind of just strapped in, dude i i'm i'm excited for for this bull marker right
now you know i think apecoin goes back to a dollar um nfts see all-time highs you know once again
um yeah i'm just locked and loaded right now locked and loaded it seems to be the the play
right now i'm seeing a lot of green candles. The vibes are feeling very positive.
You know, guys, it's a funny thing how vibes tend to be really good when candles are green
and not so great when they're red.
It's fucking weird how that happens, right?
I do see a lot of friends out there who have been working hard on things that I know I've
seen a lot on my timeline, and I'd love to invite them up, like Gene and Peter with their beautiful kegs
that they've had all over the timeline.
If you guys want to come up and talk about that.
Got Nana from Other Page in the house.
We got Outer Lumens out there.
So many friends.
You're all welcome to come up.
Right now, we're just kind of hanging out.
I know Illa's going to jump up in a minute,
probably tell us he can't talk about what he was working on,
but, you know, that's part of the game uh got peter coming up something on a fan bro he's just i mean for us it's always
just cooking for the club like at the main point of the day like that's still the main focus for
what we do most of the time you know what i mean so when we keep these these meat of the clubhouses
tight it's
literally because we gotta jump into something else that we're like all right we gotta make
sure these these things get taken care of so we can have more amazing collective community
experiences like we love so much uh we got another og up here pete i don't know why i just said it
peter peter what's good dude welcome? Welcome up. Happy Friday, bro.
You massacred my Dutch name. I'm so offended.
It's Peter, or growing up, once I got announced at a big sporting tournament,
they read it wrong and they called me Pister. Pister Beekoff.
So we can run with that if you want, but no, Peter will do. It's fine.
Mr. Pister Beekoff. How are you doing? I'm good, buddy. How are you? Oh man. I love this club. I
just leave, uh, you know, start the day with so many smiles. You guys are already making me crack
up. I'm great. Uh, I would love it. If you guys could talk a little bit about what you guys have
been cooking up because I've seen the kegs.
I'm still hoping there's more time.
I haven't had an opportunity to get there yet.
My week has been crazy, crazy.
But if you don't make, if you don't have a month, if you don't mind, guys, second Red Bull already started, by the way.
Take it over.
yeah, you got, you got a little bit of time left. We're, we're kind of on Bishop's schedule.
Yeah, you got you got a little bit of time left.
We're kind of on Bishop's schedule.
Um, board Bishop, if you haven't followed our AI agent, anthropomorphic brand mascot,
um, he's kind of taken over. I don't know if he sent in quite yet, but, uh, he's, uh, he's making
demands. He he's running out of inventory and he's, he's got a limited window to hook up his
buddies with, uh, some stuff that's in the back room.
So, yeah, the brewery kegs, it's brewery.xyz.
I can maybe pin something up for that.
But, yeah, we're pretty excited about what he's cooked up in the lab.
And it's been a fun ride.
Appreciate you talking on that.
I'm going to throw it to gene in a minute and ask him something
similar but in the meantime we got illa in the house illa what's good happy friday how you doing
bro happy friday my favorite day start of the weekend it has been a hectic week but you know
it flew by because like they say time flies when you're doing something you love so great week in the club great week outside of the club as well so yeah i'm happy to be here and
congrats to to um to my brother p on his on his project i'm definitely gonna make sure
um i grab one like baron said it's been a crazy week i actually have like three doodles
and for and completely dropped the ball on that missed missed missed selling a couple while they
pumped and then or claiming my dude so it's been that type of week it's been that type of week man
but i'm always happy to be here on every friday with the rest of the Ape fam.
You know what I'm excited for, though?
Miami.
I mean, is there more to say on that or what?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So Rita's going out there to claim his prize, and I'm going to meet up with him out there. I think a couple of other people are out there like showbiz.
So it's going to be a little meet up there.
You mean to claim his prize with Gargis?
Yeah,
yeah,
yeah.
I love that you guys are all tapping along on the experience.
Yeah.
We're just crashing that party,
you know,
no consent.
Just,
we're there.
Yeah. I was supposed to be here next week.
And I live in Miami.
But I actually got to go to New York, man.
Apes have such troubles, right?
Like, do you crash the cool party over there in that cool city?
Or do you go to the other cool party in that other cool city?
I loved your copypasta everyone jumped on the other day.
It inspired some great memories. I love when we have a good copypasta that really includes
memory, photos, that kind of energy, because it's fun to see all the different connects we've had,
all the different friendships, all the cool places we've gone just in four years for having
monkey pictures as our PFP.
Never would have imagined, you know.
Gene, how are you doing this morning, homie?
Happy Friday.
Welcome up.
Yo, happy Friday.
And yeah, I definitely partook in that pasta.
It was nice going through the pictures and trying to pick out all the global you know, the global locations that, you know,
the club has taken me. And it's real, man. Apes are global, whether you like it or not. But yeah,
we're everywhere. And yeah, I think it was like, there was Hong Kong, there was Lisbon, there was
Canada. And then obviously I had to get one in New York with me and Gordo.
So yeah, apes are global.
The week has been insane, to say the least.
I've always been able to experience projects from the collector standpoint.
I've never really been involved on the project side, so it was stressful
this week minting out these kegs. And again, as Peter said, if you have a neighbor mutant,
make sure to go get your keg. It's just a cool piece of artwork for now. And I think Peter said
earlier, but the kegs are empty. So Bishop apologizes that the kegs are empty for now. And I think Peter said earlier, but the kegs are empty. So, you know, Bishop apologizes that
the kegs are empty for now. But he also notices that, like, there's a lot of ape chain communities
out there that, you know, may or may not have an ape. And so he wants to take care of those,
the ape chain fam as well. So he had a lot of meetings this week. I heard, um, to try to,
to try to fix that. So, um, so we'll see what's, what's next,
but I would say the, the next thing to do is, um,
if you want to get in on the fun is, um,
hop onto other page and join the, uh,
or brewing Coke community there. Um, we, we set one up.
And so that's kind of the way we're managing that
and having other sort of communities come and be part of it.
And yeah, doors open for everybody.
I got to make it over to Other Page soon
and join a few different communities.
I think one of my favorite things is being able to kind of see
what other friends are in those different communities and be like, oh, shit, I didn't know that.
That's dope.
If you guys are looking for what Gene's talking about, it's pinned up above.
Second thing that's pinned up above I wanted to share is Cam, who is now the CEO of ApeCoin, started a new Twitter handle, Head of Ape.
If you guys don't mind, give him a follow.
Just give us some love, appreciation, turn turn on notifications however you want to do it uh because that's a great source of information
and someone to talk to if you're trying to learn more about ape chain right if he's the head
why not start at tweeting at the head such a weird um handle when you say it that way you
know what i mean all right deep breath profits what's good
happy friday how you doing homie happy friday what's up what's up what's up active over here
how you guys doing yo life is good it's been a it sounds like it's been a busy ass week for
everyone because everyone around here seems to be a builder of some sort i see you're off in dubai
you know putting in your reps and doing all kinds of crazy shit.
What's good with you?
What are you up to these days?
That was so much fun.
It was a quick trip.
I'm already planning going back.
It was so good.
No, but we're good.
We're just head down cooking.
All the events coming up.
Excited for Ape Fest.
That's like the number.
I had a whole bunch of events this whole year and I'm like, I'm still going to all of them, but the only one I'm the most
excited for is ApeFest now because we got a set date and everything. But yeah, everything
is amazing. It's that time. I do appreciate the ... I like how you just mentioned Cam's
new page. I just shot it a follow. I could
appreciate somebody stepping into that position and willing to speak our language, if you will.
I feel like it doesn't matter what age you are, if you've been here for even a year,
we all understand that CT and this ... our bubble here is where we kind of communicate and get our things
off and express and create.
There's a lot of different cults and things in this whole place, but I think our swamp
is super special, right?
I think we would all agree.
So I'm just appreciative that he's kind of adjusting and not in a cringy, it doesn't
seem disingenuous way either. It seems natural and he is actually interested in doing it. But definitely can see the new,
what's the word? New sheriff in town on the ApeCoin DAO website. The DAO activity has been,
I don't know if you guys got scared or what, because we're about to start getting checked,
but wake the fuck up. It's okay. This is a good thing. This is how we keep the DAO in check and keep it running.
So I'm hype. I'm excited for all the new things to come. And some would argue and say there
shouldn't be any sort of control or anything like that. And maybe that's true, but we still
need direction and we need strong leadership. If we want to say we want to last
forever and be known forever, which I would argue and say we're the most well-known IP.
All through Dubai and every other country I've visited, anytime anyone sees an ape,
they're like, oh, we don't even speak each other's language. They're like,
ah, they do one of those. Ah. So, yeah, that's my little spiel.
It didn't mean to go crazy.
I just had my second cup of coffee of the day.
So I'm a little active right now.
But always happy to be in the clubhouse.
Happy Friday, Apes.
Hope you guys are feeling good.
Pete, what was the highlight in Dubai, man?
I'm mad I missed it this year, man.
Like, I love Dubai.
You know I got to do the tourist shit, brother.
So me and the boys went to Abu Dhabi, to Ferrari World.
And I'm a Ferrari fanatic.
And so learning the history.
Apparently, I went on the fastest ride in the world and got whiplash.
They make you put fucking goggles on your eyes.
And I'm like, what?
I was like, do we got to put the goggles?
They're like, yes.
I was like, what?
And then after the ride, I see why we had to put the goggles on.
That was a super highlight, just really inspiring all around.
It's a really cool theme park.
And then I think another highlight would be, even though you only asked me one, was how
respectful everybody is no matter what.
No matter what, respectful. Like, no matter what. Respectful.
Super, super respectful.
A lot of, unfortunately, my closed-minded friends were like, oh, you know, be careful
and, you know, this and that.
And you're not allowed to wear crosses.
And I get it.
I understand a lot of stuff is very disrespectful to their culture.
And I definitely was as respectful as possible and probably more than I probably even had
to be just because every place is
not the same as our place.
So yeah, my overall two were Ferrari World and just overall how genuinely nice and willing
to make sure you feel comfortable and you're happy and you're okay.
That was really, really cool.
The hospitality was just on point to the max.
Rob Markman Love it, man dubai is one of the safest
places on earth like nobody will steal your shit because you know they don't play over there
bro i left the b&b unlocked the homies was locked out i was like yeah yeah i'll leave it open miami
nope never leaving that never never never we left uh you know i went i was going there with my artists
and you know artists are out of their fucking minds and he would lose shit non-stop he bought
a brand new cell phone in london on the layover and then got to dubai and left it in front of the
hotel at check-in we went to eat for like two hours came back and the cell phone was still there
that's when i was like and yeah our
guide our our the promoter who we were with who was the guide he was like bro no one steals anything
here they do not play it's not we're in shock he's like what y'all he was in shock that we were like
in shock he's like what do you mean this is dubai it's the safest place in the world no one locks
their doors you like no one takes anything here so yeah it was crazy crazy story about dubai i remember going there and in i went twice in one
year i went in january no i went in like spring i think and the the ruler of the country was like
i want to bring the ocean around the city and at that point if you go there now they have these
canals that bring the ocean around the city when he said that point, if you go there now, they have these canals that bring
the ocean around the city. When he said that, there was no canals. We went back in December,
it was done. I'm like, I've never seen a workforce like that. And come to find out they have a 24
hour workforce. There's some thoughts about that. But man, I've never seen a somebody a ruler a head of a country
move like that and then he was like once he built that he showed up on the first day of school
in august he showed up on the first day of school and showed up to the it was like
it's the same thing as the congress and the senate? And he showed up at 8 a.m.
in the morning and everyone who didn't show up got fired. It didn't matter how long you were a
politician. And he went on TV and he was like, I came here at eight in the morning and that's the
time all of our children and the teachers are at school. And there's no excuse for the heads,
the people who quote unquote run this country aren't there at the same time that the people who educate our children are there.
I'm like, holy shit.
Like it never happened.
Our country is a shit show compared to that, bro.
I mean, I love our country, but it just it opened my eyes to like how people don't play in like the level of like standards.
So it doesn't surprise me that they're really strict about everything else
because they move really different.
Exactly.
I learned a lot of the history too.
I met a really cool person, like a professor coming back.
And the alpha is for anybody like,
how the fuck do you do a 15-hour flight?
Listen, you go and you don't sleep.
Maybe a couple times.
And then when you get on the flight, it's almost like a business class flight because you're going to sleep the entire time anyway. It's a little alpha for you guys. But they basically were saying
how there's... So it was man-made 53 years ago. It's technically not a real country. It's an island. And so what they did was,
you know, the family, the wealthy families came here, came to the US, went to Vegas,
went to all the main attractions of the world, and were like, what do these people like?
Oh, you guys like the Bellagio? We'll do, you know, the Emirates Mall and the Dubai Mall and
all these things. And so they went in, they saw the blueprint, used their money and recreated in their own way with their own laws and their own rules.
And I don't know, I mean, not to be corny, but this just reminds me of creating your own club
in this world that we're in, that we live in now. And it's like you get to curate what is best for you and your community, and then you get
to invite people, right?
We get to invite people to ApeFest.
You don't have to have an ape to come to ApeFest, even though you should have one.
So yeah, Dubai is awesome.
I used to say, oh, I got to be rich, super rich to go.
No, no, man.
I feel like my money was 2, 3x over there, for real,
for what I was getting. Yeah, definitely going back. Suggest anybody that hasn't been,
tap in, go to Dubai. And it's dope to see all the crypto space over there. All the homies are
over there enjoying themselves that was a
that's always a great thing to see man especially like right now when we're in this we're in the
weird like well right now it's bullish so thank god for that maybe that y'all going to dubai
brought the the energy back or something but man phew it was it was rough it was rough. It was rough waters out here.
Right now, we doing good.
Right now, we doing good.
Showbiz, what's going on, brother?
Yo, what's up, Illa?
What's up, Baron?
What's up, everyone?
Prophets, everyone?
Good afternoon, my apes, man.
How y'all doing?
Jeez.
Man, I just want to pop up here and say it's a great day to be in the club. I'm out in Miami. I've been here since last week, Monday. I was working for Tamu,
Ella. Freaking Tamu had me working hard, bro, at F1 Miami. Yo, you know the company he works for does beverage service. Man, that dude had me working.
Holy shit. But man, some amazing things, some amazing conversations with him about some
things that we saw that they can incorporate into what they're doing for their beverage services.
Me and Tamu chopping it up a lot about that kind of stuff.
But yeah, I took my boy to Bored and Hungry, so I got to meet up with the apes and hang
out and got to meet up at the collector's club with some
of the apes out there, you know, like Fuego, Jack, and, you know, Buffalo.
So every chance I get to hang out with the apes, you know, I got to come hang out with
my apes.
So, Prophets, what we doing later?
I know you hit me up.
What am I doing later?
What we doing?
What we doing, Prophets?
Yeah, man. I'll hit me up. What am I doing later? What we doing? What we doing, prophets? Yeah, man. I'll hit you up. I know you're leaving tomorrow, but I got you. I'll hit you up. I'm hosting an event tomorrow too at Collector's Club. So any apes in Miami,
definitely pull up. It's the official after party of Got Soul, the sneaker show that's
out here.
But yeah, I wanted to just pop up
here and say what's up to my fellow apes you know it's friday that's all are you in a are you in a
miami shirt right now looking at what you're at your view or what's going on my view is amazing
right now in miami holy shit you know you gotta put i'm sorry dog you gotta post a picture or else i did the other day
all right well then i'm i'm i love this club so much my favorite part of friday is how much i
smile and laugh and just we all banter and bullshit and catch up and i was even learning
about dubai through you guys like there's certain aspects from like damn i gotta get to dubai
next time i've missed it every year there's certain ones i'm looking forward to ape fest is always the jam so look forward to
what's happening over there uh illa and i have been talking about this behind the scenes if
you're a community member putting together an event hit us up we're putting together like a
community calendar uh you know so if anyone's running a satellite let us know try to figure all that out for everybody
make it a seamless opportunity for fun basically but with that said if anyone else wants to come
up say what's up you're absolutely welcome to we're kind of getting to the halfway mark of
our show usually where NGB or Lost are going to come up talk about all things ApeCoin whatever
they may have missed unless Baca wants to do it, he could just run it.
He's like, yo, that's what I'm here for, dog.
You got your ApeChain back yet, Baka?
Is that coming in the future?
It's coming. It's coming.
You got to speak it into existence, man.
I kept saying I was going to work for Yuga,
and look at me now, dog.
I'm up here next to Illa.
Come on. That's crazy.
That is kind of crazy still.
The best place, the best company to work for.
I remember when I started, a guy with Siri was like, hey, man, if you don't love it, you can always quit.
Because I'm like, man, I got to work for somebody.
Like, I got to get up early and answer to people.
Like, I don't know about
all that bro he's like hey this is not like a regular company everyone has nicknames he's like
hey and if you don't like it you can always quit four years later bro oh no three years later three
years later I'm like fucking god man he knows how to he knows how to he's a great out for talent, boy. He knows how to get what he want, man.
He's a great dude.
Speaking of which, he's back doing some cooking right now.
That's all I can say about that.
He's back doing some cooking.
I know, Illa.
The part of our timeline internally is we can't say anything about anything.
Hold on, you can't say anything about anything.
Hold on, you can't just say that. Alpha, what?
What?
What's going on here?
What's going on here?
You know, like, you know, just some things, man.
Hey, at the end of the day, like, just know that we all know that we never stopped cooking.
Bull market, bear market, we have always been shipping whether people liked it or
not you know we got we sometimes it's a win and sometimes it's a miss and but the great thing is
you always get some learnings from both from all from both of those experiences you know if you get
a win you you you put it in the in the in the memory catalog of what to do again. If you took an L, you put that in the memory catalog of what not to do again.
So we always cooking.
And Guy is somebody who is so busy with Madonna and Chris Rock.
And, you know, Madonna went on a world tour.
So Guy can't manage both of these things.
It's a very demanding job.
But now she's back chilling.
So, you know, it's just, you job but now she's back chilling so you know
it's just you know he's he's back he's back doing some cooking that's all i can say
gene that was similar to my other tease the other day about that one thing that i said about
you know that other thing uh you speak like that it's really fun it's also super fucking hard
because i wish i could say other stuff uh In the meantime, I pinned up something funny that Sean Nana posted about, well, not funny,
interesting rather. Like what does the community think a full set is? Happy full set Friday to
everyone out there who celebrates. I see a lot of new people collecting full sets lately. So
thought this was an interesting poll just to see kind of what defines the full
set in the community's eyes, you know, just kind of enjoying that poll. So figured I'd throw that
out there. Hey, Barron, I was gonna say, it'll tease something, but I feel like he gave us way
more than what you gave us last week. So do you want to help us out this week?
Do you want to help us out this week?
No, dog, I don't.
I don't.
We're good.
We'll hold off.
We've already said too much.
Said too much.
Yo, I keep seeing a lot of new apes and a lot of new mutants joining the club.
And, you know, there's nothing that feels better than that man
like every single week like back to back to back to back to back to back people just taking that
you know they're seeing that's another thing we we think that when you're building and just because
everyone was is hot was high on that meme coin supply that doesn't mean people aren't taking their wins and jumping into a project that they that they really think has longevity in the space
so when people are wondering like damn what happened how come apes are running is because
people are are jumping into this the project they feel that it's been has the best builders the best
community and they can see he's going to be around for the long
haul. That's us, baby. That's us. And shout out to Cam, man. Those meetings with Cam and Juan,
there's a lot of great things cooking up on Ape Chain. And, you know, shout out to Lost and Spand
and the intern and the whole team. Like, I don't talk shit about any other team
until they talk shit about us.
Then I'm gonna fire your ass up.
But I will say, we've been doing our thing, man.
We've been doing our thing.
Yo, I see so many friends in the audience
just throwing random emojis up
and like throwing direct emojis to us. And to me, honestly, this is the best part of the week because it just is a
pure hour of positive energy. Like I hope many of you take this as that, where you get to sit down,
have some laughs, banter, just disconnect for a second because so much of the world is fast paced.
Our industry is crazy, but we are not fucking serious people. We are just people who do things insanely seriously. Like the focus we have with these
PFPs to show up for years for many of us, doesn't matter how long you've been showing up. But once
you're here, it's like, you're not going anywhere else. This is it for many of us, you know, and
we're at the beginning of the journey. So it's exciting to see that even four years in, we have so many new friends joining every day, old, old members
coming back and rejoining the club. I've been hearing that a lot lately. That's been exciting.
And just hearing some things behind the scene, knowing that the club is always cooking.
It just feels good to be a board ape. So stoked that we have so many new friends with us and old
friends joining this week. Uh, we got a few other people on stage art what's good happy friday how you doing bro
what's cracking y'all man it feels good to be an ape happy friday y'all always the best day of the
week get to come by and uh chill with a bunch of monkeys in the room great day though but yeah just
decided to come up and say what's up to everybody.
Gotta just say what's good to the whole space.
Eli, hope you're doing great.
Finally, my cheater brother.
Finally joined the gang.
Baron, I'm with you two with the flip brim.
Yeah, Showbiz.
So yeah, it's all love.
And I know Showbiz is laughing down there.
He enjoys these battles.
He enjoys them.
But, yeah, can't wait for Ape Fest, man.
I'm excited.
My first Ape Fest.
And I know it's going to be a blast.
So, yeah, just decided to come up to say what's up to the whole crew.
Cheetah gang, man.
Cheetah gang.
You know, simple, simple.
Simple.
Best for in the actual club.
You know, there's no need to debate or hate.
It's just, it is what it is.
You know, it's like, like the sun's going to rise and the moon's going to set.
Listen, I will debate and I will say that I prefer the pink apes so much so that I actually gave a cheetah ape away, you know, because I preferred the pink.
Right. So regrets.
It's not a regret at all.
There's all things that we regret.
Not at all. Not at all.
Clear regret.
Clear regret.
Anyways.
Anyways.
All right.
Michael, what's good?
How you doing, bro?
Happy Friday.
Welcome up.
Happy Friday.
Yo, yo, dude. Everything's just looking so good. I'm so excited for everything ApeCoin.
I mean, it's kind of wild, you know. 62 cents, just straight up and to the right.
Vibes are great. ApeFest is coming. Like, the takeover is going to be real.
I mean, I don't know what else to say other than
ApeCoin is the place to be. I don't think we've seen anything yet. We're going violently higher.
I just wanted to say hey to everybody and thanks to this community in general.
There's nothing like it, So let's keep it moving.
Yeah, definitely nothing like our community, man.
And yo, shout out to Profits.
I jumped into the Vegas chat the other day.
Profits was like, yo, it's good to see you.
Good to see you in here, on here.
And I'm like, damn, i really haven't been online like that
man like it's been i've been so fucking busy and plus there was so much negative energy on the
timeline but it luckily it wasn't from our community our community's been coasting if it
would have been negative energy from our community then i would have definitely been online a lot more
because you know we got to keep the we got to keep the troops aligned and we got to
we got to keep marching but we've been through that already now it's like it's on autopilot man
and it feels good let me knock on wood because we are on autopilot we building and that just
the proof is in the pudding man all these other people been running around here stressing
messy finessing motherfuckers getting
jammed up motherfuckers out here trying to figure out how they're gonna pay the tax man how they're
gonna pay the lawyers because they was caught up doing some bullshit that you know that's probably
gonna come out later but apes man autopilot and it's been feeling good the cook right it's a cohesive ecosystem i think is like
the the the main kind of takeaway here it's like all these builders the main projects the big
movers they're building to grow the ecosystem as to where everywhere else is, a lot of places, I'd say, are growing individual ecosystems
that segment things.
These are all,
many of the largest activations
within ApeChain
just grow and feed back
into this larger vision for ApeChain.
So I had to say that.
It's like, once you see it,
you don't unsee it.
It's the only place where it's happening
you know what i'm not like us yeah that's for real you know the the interesting thing that's
happening right now i'm kind of noticing like trend wise there's there seems to be like almost
a few there's always a certain amount of groupings in a in a club right but right now it looks like
we have people who have been around long enough that are really developing their voice many people
like let's say grateful profits i can see a bunch of other people who have put in
their time and they're becoming very admired in in the way they bring information to audiences
right and that takes time to build the that that takes time to build that foundation of trust
between a community right and then you have new people who are coming out and putting in a
tremendous amount of time like baka and like a lot of other people's showbiz with their Ape Chain NFT shows.
And they're doing the same thing, but they're doing it now with the new audience.
And seeing all these different groups kind of just saying like, I'm going to take my shovel, I'm building, I got this.
That's the thing that separates our club from where I see a lot of other things online, right?
Like we just have people who want to build and they don't really seem to ask
permission.
They just go off and do it.
And like,
shout out to grateful having Gary V on his show the other day.
That was sick,
dude.
Like that was dope to see all these years of effort.
You're getting insanely important people in this industry on your show.
And then the next thing,
you know,
grateful is like,
have you talked to Garga? Maybe we could get a show together with you two. And it's always
thinking of the club and like moving it forward, right? So it's kind of sick to see so many
dedicated people in this club. And we see it week after week after week. And it's impressive. It's
one of my favorite reasons to be here. Like Sailor Jerry over here with his ape spokesperson,
you built your entire spokesperson identity around this ape. Like Sailor Jerry over here with his ape spokesperson. You built your entire
spokesperson identity around this ape. Like that's fucking crazy, but also awesome, man.
How you doing, bro? Happy Friday. Welcome up. GM, GM. Wonderful. Friday vibes high.
I miss Dubai, but we're grinding away anyways. You know, put it, put it on the clock. We'll be in Vegas at the end of the month.
Lisbon, mid-June.
New York, end of June.
Still cooking.
Keeping the ovens hot.
But, yeah.
Good to see everyone up here.
Good to see you, Illa.
Profits, Gene.
Showbiz, Peter.
Papo, Art.
What's up, guys?
How we doing?
Brother Gary! Mm-hmm. popo art what's up guys how we doing getting brother gary
getting so stoked for vegas round mini round one in a couple weeks and then the real rounds
come in the fall eight fest is going to be lit we are going to take that city down
stateside is a whole new world you know a lot of these MBAs have been doing magic tricks to put
products internationally. But we're on home turf in 2025 here. So we're real excited for it. A lot
of things cooking. Listen, somehow you don't have 6,000 followers. If everyone out there isn't
following you, please do so. If you've ever been to any ape event or most likely any web three event and
you've had any vodka,
it's probably been bored vodka.
Most likely it's probably been spirit punks product.
I'm going to give you like a 90% guarantee on that.
You know,
and that's one of the things that you got to say is like a staple is,
is your
product and it's amazing essential goods essential goods right we're essential workers here putting
putting web3 vodka out in the world uh you know there's a lot of incredible builders in this club
and i i couldn't be happier to be building with all of them um yeah a lot of a lot of a lot in the cook but a little bit of gin too we do some gm gin
wine enthusiast best buy that's in uh we're just dropping those into total wines in california
um i think we're at 14 so far we're gonna be moving on socal in the summer um a couple other
like real irl placements and then we then we're launching some real market campaigns come late summer in the fall.
So you won't just have to find it out at, you know, Web3 events.
You can find it everywhere.
We're just cooking downtown Sacramento with Stand With Crypto,
with Miss Nifty, like a big lobby.
Ape, you know, Ape Strong on the forefront.
Scott Fu in there also.
And we're doing some real placements with some cool people.
So here for it.
What's up, Showbiz?
How we doing?
I had a question for you.
In that GM gin, is there a hint of orange in there, flavored? We extract from lemon peel, grapefruit, cardamom, nutmeg, angelica root, oris root, juniper.
It's all like whole botanical extraction.
So how we go about scaling that nationally will be kind of an interesting consideration.
But yeah.
It's delicious.
I have had it.
Golden LA International last year. we haven't really put the
gas behind it in terms of marketing but uh it's pretty sticky so it's it it's we get a lot of our
our we kind of run it with our we have a traditional like non-web web2 brand and we run it
kind of in those same verticals um and so we get a million people a week now hitting us up on our our non-web3 socials
being like hey what is why does this word copy talk about degenerates and nfts and lfg and we're
just like don't worry about it just if you know you know that's the best marketing method ever
don't worry about it i'm not going to tell you. It's too hard.
The arc is too hard to catch people up on.
Just drink the vodka.
Shut the fuck up.
No, you got to tell them it's too much lore.
Way too much lore.
Hop in, buy an ape.
Fuck around and find out.
The answer's at the bottom of the bottle, guys.
Fuck yeah.
All right.

mfers and guys can you imagine that we didn't have these spaces?

It was invented probably, but you know, you know what I mean, right?
So yeah, love it. Love to be here. Love the vibes. Love everything that's happening, guys.
And holy smoke, June is coming, right? Other side.

i i found a dm uh i dm him uh i think august 2022 if he can stop by for for 10 15 minutes
and it took like three years to to achieve that and you know if you keep going bad
That's the alpha right you keep going and you you achieve that so I absolutely love it
Now we would love to get Snoop Dogg on show so yeah, I don't know
Yeah, yeah, he DM me actually once on Instagram so I'll try that I don't know if it's possible
But let's fucking go dr. Bombay, you know
but let's fucking go dr bombay you know dude i believe if anyone can land him you could do it
like everyone you you make a tweet everyone will just at snoop at snoop at snoop you know maybe
that's not a good tactic but that's the one i would start with initially so i heard you got
to hit up nikki right not not nikki nichols like nikki ads yeah i would love to host nicky nichols one day man
i was gonna say congrats again on uh on the big interview yesterday um funny funny story i think
um tina may have shared it but but he was saying, I was talking to
him on, um, I think on IG and he was saying like, um, it was like four years ago or something like
Gary V had just happened to be in Prague. And, um, and then, um, uh, Tina was saying like,
oh shit, like I've, I've traveled the world literally to just meet this guy. Now he's in my,
he's in my city. And so he was like, shit, how do I go find this guy?
And so I think he was like in a cafe or like, I think he was on the tram, like drinking
a coffee or whatever.
And then looks out the window, he sees Gary V and who's there with just like with his
homies.
He's not there for like any sort of web three event.
I think he was just like at like a bachelor party or something.
And so he sees him at the window, but his's still going so he's like fuck and so he like has to wait a
stop to like get off he gets off the the tram runs his ass back to where he saw gary v and he's
probably like out of breath and like he pulls up on gary and he's like yo and i don't know what
like i guess gary was like super gracious enough to be like,
oh yeah, hey, what's up, what's up?
And, you know, he gave him some time, took a picture with him,
and apparently he, like, Gary would have been down to, like, chat more,
but, like, Tina was so, like, frazzled that he was just like,
ah, I didn't want to, like, take up too much of his time,
and, you know, just wanted to get a, snap a quick picture,
but, like, what a fucking full circle moment to get him now on the show and and um you know do that
whole thing so congrats again and it's funny because Tino got into NFTs through VFriends
it was his first NFT and because of that we found out about Tino and we had a call in 2021 and then he ended up on our show and now we've been like
it's crazy like this space is insane guys like the networking effect uh it's unbelievable so yeah
i'm really grateful for it it's it's so much it's so much fun yo sorry i was in the middle of trying
to get out of a text you know when you get stuck and you're like fucking too far away and you gotta like, ah
shit, go back real fast.
I know you guys know that.
Listen, I feel seen and appreciated simply because there's four Army Green on stage now.
The troops are rallying.
This feels good.
But before I go over to you, I want to say what's up to Kapo9 because you've been up
here for a minute.
What's good Kapo9?
Happy Friday.
How you doing? What's going on everybody it's good to be here on a friday and uh
you know seeing some familiar faces i've been following some of y'all for quite some time
shout out to the whole board of yacht club this is my first meet at the clubhouse as an eight
i'm glad to be here um yeah
welcome to the club man i'm taking that you're a relatively new member because i
don't follow you and i try to follow everyone so i shot you a follow you just joined recently
yeah man i just copped this this freaking sick make man um the funny thing is i'm a big fan of
cheetahs and i feel like this is probably this is probably as close as you're gonna get from the uh mutant
ape uh collection but it's yeah it's probably a leopard it's probably not a cheetah but
all good it's all good it's that your intentions are in the right place my brother so we accept
you into the fold and well you're also one of the first people i heard say make so we gonna
yeah well i'm always down to let the brothers and sisters make up their own vibe.
I say, Macy, I ain't going to police how you get down what you get down.
Make it is for my brother, Capo.
Bake and make.
100% correct.
Wake and bake with the make.
We got the homies Spend up here.
Oh, shit.
It's time for the update of updates.
Spend, what's going on?
GGs.
Yeah, he said Cheetah Gang and I had to appear.
I'm doing great, man.
That's right.
Hope you guys can say the same.
Hell yeah.
Yeah, I can go ahead and get right into it if we want.
Yeah, dog.
There's no time to waste.
Let's go.
What's good? Yeah, we had a fun week on ape chain as always man I mean if you haven't seen the intern is back out sweeping he still has some more brooms to some more floors to sweep some
more rares to get so keep your eyes peeled there's still that excitement around spotlight
gearing up this coming week we will be hanging out with Rita in Miami.
So that's going to be another fun thing.
Keep your eyes peeled for that rolling out on the timeline over the coming week.
We had a really great announcement also regarding Nifty Island.
We know we have a bunch of our eight builders and eight chain builders
all throughout Nifty and building content.
You know, UGC, making experiences, doing quests. We have
folks like Rita, folks like Sarah, folks like Claude, and so many more folks across the board,
you know, building dope stuff in Nifty Island. So excited to see that kind of come to life on
ApeChain as well. You may have missed it, but if you did, you need to double back on this.
Flip.meme is coming on ApeChain. They had a pretty big announcement earlier, and we're one of their top partners,
and we're going to be working closely with them in the future,
bringing that over to Ape Chain, so stay tuned.
We did also have our second Ape Chain game night.
Shout out to Icy Phil up here.
Shout out to Phil and Ovi.
It was streamed through Ovi by Jay, one of our Chippers fam.
And, yeah, stay tuned.
You know, we'll be doing a lot more of these Ape Chain game nights,
and we'll look to kind of cycle through other games.
It was back-to-back weeks with Alternates, you know,
the FPS shooter game on Epic.
So if you aren't in the know, you should be in the know.
Dynasty has been a longtime club member building that out,
and it's been exciting to see that come to life on Ape Chain.
And we've been having some good time creating some good content
and, you know, some good prizes as well tied in.
Outside of that, you know, we still have our Think campaign.
You know, if you're building, if you want to build with AI,
keep your eyes peeled on the ApeCoin page.
It's constantly posting out posts, constantly giving, you know,
opportunities for builders
across the board, whether they're artists, whether they're content creators, whether
they're who knows what's next, the opportunity to land one of these think agents and be a
part of what's to come down the line.
Outside of that, I mean, the biggest news is that we have our head of Ape finally live on Twitter with an amazing thread touching on, you know, a lot of things to come.
Like we know, the long-awaited special counsel, some more AIP news, the governance for ApeCoinDAO happening on chain,
and also the transparency report that I know people are looking for that we're aiming to have next week as well.
that we're aiming to have next week as well.
So a lot of dope stuff.
If you have not, I'm going to go ahead and pin Cam's post to the top.
Make sure you follow that page.
Cam put in years of work at Yuga,
and we're super lucky to have him leading the Ape Foundation,
and we're super excited to see our bright and blue future around the corner.
We definitely pin that up above, and glad that you're pinning it up again We're super excited to see our bright and blue future around the corner.
We definitely pinned that up above and glad that you're pinning it up again so this new people, a new batch of audience,
new people that may not have heard have the opportunity.
He's at 418.
Who's going to be 420, guys?
Who's going to do it?
I want to see screenshots.
Let's jump over to Phil, then we'll jump over to McIvely.
Phil, what's good?
Welcome up.
Happy Friday.
Hey, g'day, Legends.
Hope you're doing well. Stoked to be back in the clubhouse.
Apologize for missing last week. I was in Dubai getting entertained by Reader and Bandor and Asif and all the amazing guys out there. I actually bumped into Forever Famous at a random event
who actually gave me a mini bottle of Bored board vodka by Sailor Gary. So that was pretty
amazing to be honest. So I passed it on and yeah, it just shows Sailor Gary, apes are everywhere.
Yeah, the vibes were high over there. So yeah, stoked to be back. I hope you guys are doing well.
Yo, Gary, how are you getting alcohol across these borders past customs, bro? Like what's the
what's the alpha, man? Whoa, whoa whoa y'all hit that hit that up in the
dm you know what i'm saying you know gary's a pirate you know you know so maybe who knows facts
that's facts
gene only asked because he's known as the the mover of things in the club you know he's a fixer of
sorts i'm just playing.
Phil, will you talk on Ovi though?
Because I know you're building that out and I know that NGB just mentioned it briefly
that they streamed on it yesterday.
But for those that don't know, what does that mean?
Yeah, bro.
So we're essentially a Twitch, Zoom, Restream.io
all wrapped up into one,
bringing live streaming to ApeChain. So we're essentially making ApeChain the home of live streaming.
And obviously that enables people to go live, stream and broadcast it out to any platform they choose,
be it X, Twitch, YouTube, even Abstract.
So that's basically what the guys have been doing,
utilizing obviously the platform to game
and then obviously showcase that across.
So, you know, we've had shows in the past with Grateful.
That was an epic show.
This week we just had, who was it?
Sorry, excuse me.
It was Danny Saber who was on.
And yeah, so we're just,
through the Unfiltered Apes movement,
doing two podcasts a week, just showcasing builders, community members,
and just basically, yeah, trying to add our value, you know,
from our own personal touch back into the club.
Hell, yeah.
Absolutely love it, man.
Sorry, I stepped away for just a second to take a call real quick,
but I'm back, I stepped away for just a second to take a call real quick, but I'm back.
I'm back.
And to answer that question on how we move stuff around borders, we have soft direct consumer logistics in Europe.
We also, like, individually can bring in product up to, like, four and a half liters per person for personal use.
So we have the ability to kind of work with private events and private venues to kind of push those needles.
But as far as like full club scenes in Dubai,
probably not for another 24 to 30 months until we get it landed.
We're doing like full market surveys in Lisbon and Paris.
So those will likely be the
first cities that have the possibility of getting launched. But big alcohol is a terribly big
monster of a game. So we'll take it in, take it in our lane, you know, as it comes.
Yeah, if you guys aren't following
Sailor Gary, like I said
This dude is a fucking mad scientist
Who makes alcohol
He knows how to do things
Very impressive things
Mainly make amazing alcohol
Machiavelli, what's good?
Happy Friday, how you doing bro?
Yo, happy Friday, happy Friday everybody at the clubhouse
I hope y'all are having a wonderful day.
Bro, I'm doing good, man.
I came up here because earlier this week, I'd thrown up a little space, and Adam Weissman
came by, chopped it up with us for a little while, and he wants that last Mega Muse serve,
man.
He wants to open it live on the Sphere during A-Fest.
So this is just another one of those call outs you
know what i'm saying if anybody in here knows that somebody who has that mega muted serum
let's get that going for the homie you know what i'm saying let's make that happen uh live on the
sphere you know hey listen he came to the space it's recorded and uh put the call out so this is
us continuing that call out man you know adam's a legend man he's like let's just straight up bro let's just get this done and you
know i can't wait because i i'm you know that last mega is a cheetah so it's just it's just
oh is it really yeah i mean it's only right you know it has to be the cheetah you know i'm saying
like so at the end of the day,
I'm trying to see that thing on the sphere in full glory.
Not only is Adam a legend,
but he wants to end this the right way
by revealing
the best fur on the biggest stage.
You know,
we got to see it happen, man.
We got to see it happen.
It was funny because I shot my shot earlier that day.
Tiger had made a post and said, you know, if you could meet one member
or talk to one member and whatever, who would it be?
And I tagged him first.
And then we had thrown up a space, and then he hopped right up in there,
came up on stage and said, what's up?
And just, you know, showed love and had a great conversation with us and stuff.
Shout us out to follow, just, you know what I'm saying?
And he's like, yo, I would really like to make this happen, this happen guys and uh that's you know it's dope just to have that experience
here at the club and shit so let's see it happen you know what i'm saying
yeah we've been waiting for that for for years i wonder where that shit is at
you know there's so many people who are in the in the club or in this space
that just buy something for the craziest amount of
money, set it and forget it and just go about their life. You know what I'm saying? There's
so many people who've done that with punks and it's always the most expensive assets. Those that
like, yeah, I'm just going to get this million dollar thing and just go about my way in the
South of France and just chill out. But hey, you got to respect it, man.
Game is game. We all got that dream, man. I made a post yesterday like, damn, I wish I would have
just put all the tuition for my master's degree into Bitcoin in 2020 instead. And I literally
probably own 10 yachts. Who knows? But we all make our choices. You can't. What is it that's saying?
You connect the dots.
You can't look forward.
You can only look backwards.
Right.
So we're going to say what's up to one or two more homies.
We haven't said what's up to on stage.
I think it's just one homie.
Then we're probably going to wrap because we do have to jump into other meetings in the day.
And I know it's Friday.
You all have a ton to go off and build, which is consistently the theme, but also Friday.
So some of you might go fuck around and find out.
Dojo, what's good? Happy Friday.
Yo, happy Friday, happy Friday.
Yeah, shout out to Grateful.
Seeing Gary Vee in his space yesterday was a big full circle moment.
In 2021, an artist by the name of Jesseondue did the Bushido Apes. He did
my first derivative of my board aid, and it was a caricature of Gary Vee. So to see him
on Grateful Show was a big moment, and yeah, I'm honored to even stop by the Grateful Show, to be honest, and to
be on stage once again.
Anyway, Sailor Jerry, you know what it is, turns every Web3 event into actually a fun
place to be.
I can't give it enough to say that Jerry, he's on top of it.
Dojo, dojo, you drinking board vodka right now or what, bud?
Yeah, you got me, you got me.
Hey, no, for real though, like flowers to everybody up here, you know, who's in this,
in this clubhouse right now, you know, I'm, I'm, I'm so excited to be building alongside, you know, such,
such legends here, you know, it's really been an inspiration to come,
you know, not from blockchain and cryptography and not really in the like
culture art element and just be so inspired. You know, it's,
it's really, you know, flowers to everybody on who's up here.
Absolute.
Yo, appreciate everyone coming through, coming by, hanging out,
spending some energy and time together this week.
I've only got one question left, and it's for Gary.
Did you get that basketball?
Fuck yes, I have that basketball.
Okay, sick.
All right, beautiful.
Appreciate all you guys.
Have a wonderful weekend.
Illa, you got anything to say before we depart?
Enjoy the weekend.
Enjoy the time with the fam.
Tomorrow is never promised.
So enjoy every moment of this life and spend as much time of it as possible with family
and hopefully traveling with your family.
So see you all next week.
Peace.
See you guys.
Peace.
Love your family. So see y'all next week. Peace. See you guys. Peace. Love your mother.
