Full Transcription
Yo, yo, yo, what's up everybody?
Happy Friday.
It is that time of the week where we all gather to hang out.
Welcome to meet at the clubhouse.
I see so many friends out there, guys.
If you haven't let your friends, let them know it's time to come join right now.
Go ahead and share out the spaces.
I've got it posted up at the top of the page as well
oh my gosh it is going to be a fun day there's a lot to talk about this week we recently just
celebrated four years of the board ap yacht club existing how crazy right how crazy is that that's
amazing uh we have chad from the team going to be joining us for a little bit this morning to talk about ApeFest.
So excited, excited for that as well.
We did give plenty of time.
It's not for quite a while until ApeFest pops off.
But, you know, there's a lot to be planned.
Hopefully some people internationally come.
That might take a little bit of time.
So excited, excited that we finally got that announcement out there that was incredibly huge for us uh just to share together right i'm pretty excited about it i know a lot of
you guys are i've seen the timeline i'm gonna take a deep breath i'm gonna invite anyone out
there to come up guys uh this week we're gonna talk about whatever you guys want as as we always
do uh but like i said we are gonna have chad with us just for a little time so if anyone has any we're going to talk about whatever you guys want as, as we always do.
But like I said, we are going to have Chad with us just for a little time. So if anyone has any ape fest questions,
they're just super excited and want to talk about, you know,
they've already booked their flight, whatever.
I know a lot of you have actually talked to an ape from Australia who already
booked his flight. So shout out to you early shoppers.
In the meantime, while we're waiting for more homies,
I think Ella's going to be joining us in just a second.
There's Chad, the man, the myth, the legend.
Poncho, what's good?
Happy Friday, bro.
Hey, Baron, what's going on?
You know, the bubblegum mint is alive.
So just wanted to remind everybody and share a bit if you don't mind.
I will ask you to hold off on that because we only have Chad with us for a little bit of time.
But once Chad dips, you're welcome to talk about your project.
I myself minted six yesterday to support because I just want to see what the art's all about.
But in the meantime, we're going to defer to Chad and then we'll circle back to you in a bit if that's cool with you.
Chad, the amazing organizer of Ape Fest. in a bit if that's cool with you. Chad, the amazing organizer of ApeFest.
Yes.
Dude, that's too much pressure.
What's going on, everybody?
Are folks stoked for Vegas?
Dude, I've seen all the beauty of the AI post online, which says absolutely, hell yeah, debauchery is on the horizon for a lot of club members, and we can't wait.
Are you excited, Chad, for Vegas?
You know, Vegas, me and Vegas have a long relationship.
I've been going there for years doing this sort of thing.
So it's a wild place to spend a week or two working.
But no, I'm stoked.
I mean, you know, we saw last year in Lisbon,
like what it means to get the club together in a city for the weekend.
And it was amazing.
It was beautiful.
It was old.
But like, I think Vegas is the perfect spot where there's something for everybody.
There's the debauchery.
There's the shows.
There's the dope food.
You know, there's rooms of all price points.
It's like it's kind of the perfect Disney world for a bunch of apes.
So we're just yeah, we're stoked over here.
I think, you know, it was the worst kept secret in Web3, but now it's officially out there.
So, yeah, just looking forward to October.
I will say I was recently out there to see an enema show at the Sphere and I walked
around Vegas the whole time going, AbeFest would be rad here. It really would be. And then to hear
that it came to be there was super exciting because the whole time I was there, I was just
kind of envisioning the lens of what that experience could be like for all the friends
coming in internationally. I saw Grateful say, you know, if he comes out,
maybe he'll do a seven-day journey around that area.
And it gets exciting to think.
There's a lot of people who this might be their first time ever going to Vegas
and don't have that relationship like Chad and myself have with Vegas.
I've spent a lot of time in those casinos.
It's a whole other story for for a whole nother podcast.
Illa, are you excited about Vegas, bro?
Man, of course.
Like, it just makes sense.
And I know a lot of, like, the West Coast Apes are super, super excited.
This is something that the community has been calling for for quite some time.
Listen, I know we all had a great time getting our passport stamps.
And I feel that that was important because we are a local community.
So to have it, we had it two years straight in the US.
And then we went overseas and now we bring it back home and of course it
besides Vegas it would have been Miami of course I would have been you know I'm biased because I
live in Miami but Vegas has so many hotels so much activities it's a few hours away from LA one of
my favorite cities in the in the entire world and then know, it's like even a four or five hour drive to Tijuana, Mexico, which
is where you can get in all types of trouble.
So if I'm, I'm totally grateful.
If you're going to do it the right way, you do Vegas, then you drive over, you go to LA,
you drive down the coast to do the PCH, or actually you drive up the coast to PCH, go
through Malibu, then you drive back down the coast, you hit LagCH. Actually, you drive up the coast of PCH, go through Malibu,
then you drive back down the coast,
you hit Laguna, you hit Newport,
you hit all the spots,
go all, and then you hit the highway,
go down in Diego,
then you go keep going south,
cross the border, end up in Tijuana.
Ha, ha, ha, ha.
Then you come back.
That's how you do it.
That's how you do it. That's how you do it.
Don't let anybody tell you any different.
You're from your boy Illa.
I've done that track.
And it is, I'm sure Chef has done something like that.
He probably parasailed back from Tijuana,
like into United States, something crazy.
Like he's an adventurer like me, man.
Like Noah holds barred.
Life is for living and life is for adventuring.
So yeah, that's my long winded way of saying I'm fucking bullish on Vegas.
Whole time I was thinking, yeah, I did that journey once upon a time,
but that was like 20 years ago and TJ is crazy, crazy place.
So pick your adventure wisely. If you go down there,
I know it's early in the planning chat,
but we were happy to have you join us to celebrate the four year anniversary.
I know you celebrated your third the planning, Chad, but we're happy to have you join us to celebrate the four-year anniversary. I know you celebrated your third-year anniversary with the company recently, so thank you for all the effort and things you've brought to the club for all of us.
But is there anything you want to touch on?
I know we're far from the event.
We gave the community plenty of time to get their planning in, their airfare and such, but is there anything that you want to touch on today?
Yeah, I mean, you know, like you said, we're early. Like I, we, we don't want to say
too much too early. Part of the fun is the surprise. I think for us, we're just trying
to take the stuff that we liked from last year and also just like constantly reinventing ourselves.
So, you know, it's like, we know in Vegasgas people are going to go fucking hard some people are
going to be up all night so it's like we really wanted to start with a friday night thing and
and let the weekend be for the community so you know like please make sure you get in so you can
enjoy the friday night uh ape fest and then you know we'll be helping there all along the way as
the the community does their thing all weekend long and I'm sure there's going to be all sorts of fun stuff. I think we're shooting for ticketing probably
within the month, still working through everything there. But we have a big venue.
I think ticketing shouldn't be a worry. So we're going to follow a pretty similar process to last
year where apes put down
a deposit. If you come, you get the money back. If you don't show up, you lose your money. And
then plus one option as well. Yeah. And just getting stoked. We're also talking to all the
amazing community members who are out there helping with travel services from billionaire concierge to sleep IO and trying
to make sure that there's just different options for all the different price points and sort of
vibes that people are looking for from a hotel and accommodation perspective. I love it, man. I see
a few apes already posting that they're actively putting together some events. I saw somebody putting together perhaps a paintball competition or game of some sort. I saw NFT hoarder and ape concierge already putting together Crater House. Got that in action.
I can't wait because we know the community shows out and really comes through every year with a ton of cool events.
And they're constantly building.
Every year is like a new evolution.
And speaking of evolution, did you guys see that graduation or rather that DC Roth video that came out recently?
If you haven't, do yourself a favor.
Watch it.
It was amazing.
I'll try to figure out where it is and pin it up above for everyone.
The second Red Bull has hit. So I'm going to let let you guys know that's why i'm jumping around so much
so we have uh ape chain africa up here welcome up happy friday do you have any questions for
chad or for the team about ape fest uh gmgm everyone i know you guys definitely gotta recognize this voice uh yeah i don't think i have
any question consigning it first for now right i'm looking forward to like uh you know do some
you know findings and the rest like that i know uh maybe when i have questions i can run
down to byron or ila or there about like when everything is ready because i'm trying to take
it one step at a time yeah but uh i just i'm just i'm just trying to plan and get something amazing
when if for a phrase and uh if in africa is definitely going to be live there at ephra's just to celebrate
just to you know do a whole lot with the community with the fans with the club and everybody
definitely so i i i for now i don't have what a any question for for for chad right so i will
just be here to listen and maybe if uh there is opportunity to
give a quick rundown of what has been happening with apache in africa and definitely be uh you
know glad to do that with the community and with the club we will absolutely circle back to that
probably in about 20 minutes if you don't mind just hanging out on stage with us uh we just have
only about 20 more minutes with chad here uh And then we'll jump into all the different stuff that the club members in the community
are cooking up and working with.
We got Gene up here.
Gene, welcome up.
Happy Friday.
Congrats on your new ape you picked up.
How you doing, bro?
Yo, I'm feeling great being in the Army Green background.
And most importantly, the uh, the black merch hat club. So, uh, I think, I think, uh,
someone might be cooking up some custom merch for, for the black hat.
So if, if you're a black hat, um, you know, definitely hop in that,
hop in that group chat, but, uh, no, I wanted to, um,
since we have Chad here, Hey Chad, um, I wanted to ask,
what's up man what's up um i wanted to ask
if you guys were planning to do anything around the nbas again like um like you did in the last
couple years um and i'm not sure if there's if you can share any details but like um you know
anything really if it's like you know having them as vendors again or just even having like
some sort of like bodega experience or whatever it is yeah early on the thoughts there for sure i
mean obviously mbas are a huge piece and want to find a way to have them integrated it does get a
little bit tougher in vegas you know like these venues don't fuck around with you bringing your
own stuff in quite the same way as like when we take over places. But we're trying to make sure that
we can do as much as we can there and want to make sure, you know, there's space for Made by
Apes however we can. So let's definitely chat. And yeah, we're still trying to figure out what dope thanks I think the fun of Vegas is
the difference right
every Ape Fest has been a completely new
adventure I think this is an exciting
one because people perceive Vegas
in a certain way one thing I'll say is
just come in with you know
kind of the mindset of how you want to
enjoy your weekend we got plenty of time
to plan it out there's plenty of places to stay,
which hit all sorts of ranges,
whatever you feel most comfortable with.
I just stayed at the Venetian recently,
and it was amazing, personally.
Loved it.
So Vegas is just a really cool vibe.
And I'm excited because when I told my girlfriend
that it was there, she's a club member,
she already told me,
oh, I know, we're talking to some other girls in the, in the club about looking to see what sphere show
might be going on, you know, and there's all these people that are just super excited to find
different things to do collectively, but away, you know, the IRL has always been the alpha. So
super stoked. What's up, Drew. Welcome up. Happy Friday. How you doing?
Yo, happy Friday. Yeah. I was going to say, I was just in a tech conference in Vegas,
and I brought in a bunch of Celsius just to give out to people that were stopping by,
and they literally charged us $6.80 for every Celsius we brought in
because we didn't go through the venue, which is wild.
I did that once for a gumball machine,
and they charged us $6 for every gumball we handed out.
Lessons learned. They definitely don't fuck around there um i saw on the on the on the sheet or the picture that that went out is it just one day or or should we plan for three
days or what does that look like yeah so we're our event the main event is one day um but i mean
the goal with that being that like, we know the weekend is full
Sundays, you know, a lot of folks start to travel home and schedules really range. If you're going
to the East coast, West coast, Europe, whatever. But the goal is that, you know, like, like last
time we had 30 plus community events, but our, our main event is Friday night. But hoping for,
you know, a banger weekend full of no sleep and tons of other shit to do.
I already know like this is going to be I think this is going to we're going to break the record for community events this year.
I really have a feeling about that because I mean, it's Vegas, man.
I know personally I want to go into the desert and
shoot guns and shoot tanks and like blow shit up illa i thought you were getting us into like the
hottest you know anderson pox show or something like that you know backstage for uh for bruno
mars i mean that's that's that's that's easy you know we all we got to do is tap our brother shiro
and i'm sure like he's i like, he's got some crazy planned.
Actually, I have a call with him next week to start cooking on some after-party goodies.
But I'm just talking, like, daytime mayhem.
I'm really – this is the Vegas, the one place you could do shit that in most other states you get arrested for.
So, yeah, that's what I'm about.
I'm not even gonna lie i've already been looking into it with
a a consumption lounge experience perhaps like a you know board ape smoke sesh of some sort
i mean that happens yeah yeah but like they have like actual consumption lounges now i just went
to one out here and it was fucking next level so you know it's just it's wild remember
they would try to arrest you remember they would try to arrest you in vegas not even try they would
straight up arrest you in vegas you would smoke in your car and it would be bike cops to ride down
the street and traffic and like nap yeah yeah yep chef knows but yeah vegas baby grenades and
motherfucking tanks like who is with it? Like, let me know who is
putting that one together. If not, you know, just hit me in the DMs because that is so that's one
of the main experiences, the machine gun experience. So we got we got we got illa with the tanks and
grenades side of it. We got Baron with the smoke sesh side of it. I love how things are shaping up.
We got ape games up here. We got Ape Games up here.
We know they're going to represent.
What's up, Ape Games?
You stoked for Vegas?
You already know, Baron.
You already know.
What's up, Baron, Ella, GM, GM, Chad, everyone in the Yacht Club.
What's up?
Happy Friday.
Dude, I need one of those Ape Game medals this year.
I got to win.
Chad, Chadad we're gonna
be planning we're planning we're planning we're ready to get this shit on the road
oh maybe we can do like ape games like pool edition or something um you say the word say
the word we're we're in planning right now definitely Definitely got a link up. But I just wanted to make the presence felt, you know, because we're coming.
Man, you mentioned the DC Rod video.
I was so happy to see Abe Games represented in there.
So shout out to everyone who had a hand in that.
You know who you are down there in the audience, up here in the speakers.
Man, we're excited for ape games um doing something great
for the community right it's all about the community it's all about coming together
having fun having some rivalry and and man some good times so excited for ape fest like everyone
else yo i gotta tell everyone out there if you didn't experience ape games last year
that was the one event where i was so pleasantly delighted and like had so much genuine fun
during the entire event that i left like wow i can't actually wait for next year's because i
found myself running around jumping on a blow-up thing like some guy eating bananas and tossing them
and playing beer pong with Chanimal.
And then I see these guys playing tug-of-war, and the energy was crazy.
I got some funny videos of showbiz and Rita.
I'll send it to you one day, man.
But no, just like if you didn't get to experience that,
do yourself a favor and look forward to next years or this coming years
because that was one of the most fun times I've ever had in the club.
and those medals were next fucking level.
That's probably like a grail piece.
I think in the club for merch,
you know,
you know,
Jean,
did you get one Jean?
Cause I did not.
I did not.
I was a little hung over that day.
I've been wondering the whole time.
I'm like,
I wonder if anyone will sell me one.
Anyways.
Yo, Baron.
So maybe we might get a, you know, for you guys, we'll get a special matter for y'all.
You know, definitely this year.
We're going to do that.
Joyce already brought it up that we're going to get some special matters for the team.
It's amazing, man. Thank you, Chad,
for that crew jacket you wore the other
day. I wore it to an event out
here in San Diego, and
a few board apes were like, where can we buy
that? I'm like, nah, dude, that's
a gift from Chad, so
gotta be lucky there.
E, we got E up here.
What's up?
Happy Friday.
Do you have any questions for Chad or for the team about Ape Fest?
Yeah, GM, GM.
Happy Friday, Clubhouse.
It is another hot fucking day in Florida.
Listen, I'm excited.
This is my first Ape Fest.
Literally when the announcement happened, I booked my flight fucking 10 minutes after the announcement.
That's like the most emotional reactive decision. I've made in a while, but uh, I just got a quick question I know I'm my first ape fest. I know a lot of other people
I see some in the chat's gonna be their first ape fest to any
Recommendations for first-timers anything to look out for top three best things to keep in mind for first-timers
four top three best things to keep in mind for first timers?
Man, I'll let Illa take that one.
I'll jump in until Illa does. I'm not sure. But like, one of the things I always thought
with ApeFest weekends was just kind of go with the flow because there's a lot of things that will be happening all at once.
You kind of got to plan what you want and then just kind of go from experience to experience.
Because if you plan everything, you're going to be running around and just so focused on what the next thing is versus being present in the moment and just having a blast with whatever falls in front of you.
Gene, what do you think?
I know you've been to a lot of ApeFest.
What's a good strategy for someone who's going to their first ape fest.
Yeah. Yeah. Good point. I am. I've been at all four so far.
And I think the, the, the main thing,
especially this year is that there's going to be so much going on and
everything's sort of happening at the same time.
At least that's what it's going to feel like. So, you know,
lock down like your main things,
obviously the Friday night and then all the other things that you,
that you sort of want to do and then sign up for whatever you can.
And then, and then pick and choose where you, where you go.
Cause like you, you can't plan out your day a hundred percent because,
you know, things never just turn out the way you plan,
especially with, with so many things going on.
And then as you figure out that you can't go to something then obviously release your ticket so
that other apes can sign up and do it um and just kind of go with the flow and like enjoy the you
know every minute of it because no matter what you're gonna no matter what you're doing you're
gonna be with apes and it's gonna be a fucking a fucking blast no matter what like no matter what
you're doing if you're shooting guns in the desert or if you're doing you know paintball this paintball
that whatever it is like you're going to be having fun so it's you almost can't lose just
just make sure you're you're ready to do anything and yeah i was gonna say the big one is drink
water and bring a foam battery you know like the days are long you can get out there but yeah i was gonna
say what gene's saying it's like go with the flow i think also it's like make sure you go out of your
way to introduce yourself to new folks like it's easy to be hanging out with folks that you know
and doing that sort of thing but so much of it is also like meeting new people and i think just
trying to put yourself out there if you see someone who looks you know, maybe they don't have someone to talk to,
like be a good member of the club and like invite them into the group.
We're all in this together.
I think it's a great one.
I always kind of just walk up to anyone wearing merch and just introduce myself and try to
give them a follow on socials, to be honest with you.
Like that's most of how I start conversations is like walk up to a stranger. Hey, what's up? Oh, we follow each other. How funny,
you know, and you have some commonality. Most of the time, you're going to be like, Oh, shit,
you're who I've been talking to for the last two years. Amazing, you know, and that happens a lot
too. Yeah, also on the merch side, where as much fucking merch as possible, right?
And wear it at all times.
When you're going to the airport, you know, coming back, whatever, because you never know who you're going to see and, you know, who you may not know is an ape or they don't know you're an ape, you know, unless you're wearing the uniform, right?
And then wear as much, like, you know, even whether it's like club merch or, or like, um, personal merch, that's always, that's always cool. Cause then you could, cause there's been a lot of cool times where
like, I didn't know Gotrilla when I first met him at like Ape Fest too, but I saw him rocking his,
um, his chain with his apron on his neck. And I was like, Oh shit, that's you. It was just such a,
such a dope experience. So, um, so yeah, I'm a big fan of the custom merch, obviously.
All right, will do.
Outside of a couple of jeans, I think I'm going to have a suitcase full of merch and apparel anyway.
I've never linked with anybody in the clubhouse yet.
This will be my first time.
So looking forward to having a raging fucking time with all the apes.
I appreciate it.
The one thing I will ask you not to do is not to dye your hair pink
because that's what i do it confuses the shit out of everyone else uh no i'm just
not i'll be uh i'll be i'll be with the short hair but catch me with just the board ape merch
and apparel on 24 7 it's gonna be good appreciate you coming up man welcome to stay up on stage
hangout memo what's good happy fr Friday. How you doing, bro?
Happy Friday. What's up, apes? GM, GM. And of course, tequila, papi.
No, man, I just wanted to say also as a recommendation, and I did this, I mean, I went to Lisbon. That was my first Ape Fest ever, and it was the best.
And I did this whenever I met somebody and the
Kart 3 thing was amazing because you could just tap on it check everybody's
Twitter and connect but I would always take a photo with everybody so you kind
of like put a face to the ape and of course always ask if people are doxxed
or not but that's just a recommendation and another recommendation for people
going there for the first time, check the distances, man,
between one event and the other.
Distances can kill you.
I was there in NFT Paris too.
It would take you more than an hour
to get from one venue to the other.
So just, you know, plan ahead
the kind of events you wanna go to.
Just check the distances and where you're staying.
And I would just highly recommend
to stay as close as possible to the main event.
Just wanted to say that and say hi.
And of course, every single time you want to go out there, grab a shot of tequila.
No, that's a good shout out.
Actually, Peter Parker, he's in the group.
He's in the space too as well.
He just came back from Vegas, and he says you do a lot of fucking walking in Vegas one day
He did 45,000 steps. So definitely bring your water
prepare for that
Yo, what's up captain happy Friday, how you doing welcome up go for it doing great appreciate you having me up
um double tap all the advice it's all great advice i would just agree with everything you know play
make a plan but also plan for it to you to not execute it perfectly plan for your plan to be
disrupted and you know for example you're at you're at an event you're having a great time
you plan to go to the next event it's on the other end of the strip and you know, for example, you're at an event, you're having a great time, you plan to go to the next event. It's on the other end of the strip. And, you know, there's some crossover, like, last thing you want to do is leave a great time and end up sitting in an Uber for an hour, and then get to catch every event that takes place. Find the things that you're excited about.
Yes, the people you want to hang out with, but also new people.
Like, go in, like, have fun first and foremost.
But the one piece of advice I would say is go into ApeFest with a goal to leave ApeFest
with at least one new relationship.
Like, not just a Twitter follow, but like actually
engage in a conversation and get to know someone on that next level. And you likely end up with a
lot more than one, but I think someone mentioned it, like be a host, act as if like you were
hosting the event. If you see someone by themselves, go introduce yourself, strike up a
conversation. The amount of serendipitous
connections that have happened at every ApeFest I've been to, I can't even count it. And in many
cases, it's led to co-founders starting a venture together or some sort of future vendor-client
relationship. Just the networking that takes place both on a business building and also a truly organic relationship level.
It's second to none, in my opinion.
I am really looking forward to it.
Looking forward to exploring the region.
I've been to Vegas a couple dozen times and have never really been off the strip, so to speak.
So looking forward to taking in some new parts of the region
with some friends from the club.
And that's the other thing I really enjoy is exploring new cities,
new experiences, new regions with friends in this club
to where you just have this,
even if you're hanging out in person for the first time,
there's this embedded relationship that's, it's, it's hard
to explain until you've been there, but yeah, appreciate you having me up. Also just a quick
shout out to everyone. ApeCon last week was a, was a massive success, exceeded our expectations.
Appreciate everyone who showed up and supported everyone who judged everyone who participated
a lot of takeaways, a lot of learning things we things we could improve upon and do better. We didn't expect nearly to have 50 teams that wanted to participate.
But shout out to Vanga and Von Fronten for taking down the pitch competition and just
had some great judges.
And also it was another opportunity, like we've already had feedback where several individuals
not necessarily in the ecosystem, blown away by the entrepreneurial spirit.
And they're like, wow, this really is a club of builders.
So just shout out to everyone who showed up and supported
and had a blast.
I think that there's so much to unpack
with what you contribute to the club, man.
So just as a club member, I appreciate
all that you do, uh, all the hard work you put in because you're up early daily grinding. Uh,
if you don't follow him, please do your daily show is one of the things I try to wake up early
for most days. Cause it is a great way to like hang out with your friends, but also kind of
learn about the topic of the day or the news of the day or whatever else you're cooking up.
Uh, but it's also kind of fun. because then I've met you in real life.
And then we start talking about, oh, we have a side passion for sports.
Cool.
And you start talking about side betting.
And that doesn't just come up normally.
It comes up while you're having French toast on a rooftop of some bar in Miami or something.
And that's what these events are all about.
I know I see someone teasing out on the comments like,
he's teaching each other how to socialize
is Peak Web 3. Who gives a fuck? To be honest,
it's more about camaraderie and we're having fun together.
And I think a lot of the times people forget
that it's about having fun. And this is why
many of us are in this club is to have fun
together. And we look forward to experiences
where we all get together from
all over the world and sometimes see
old friends, meet new friends,
and just fucking party so i'm
looking forward to it spen what's good with you man happy friday welcome up how you doing
gmgm man happy friday i'm doing great glad to share the space with uh so many legends up here
um doing good we had a fun week on ape chain really excited for this ape fest news um did
we happen to squeeze chat out of any alpha?
Did I miss any of that, or are we still – we're letting him go.
You know I'm lips tight all the time.
All the time since day one.
Well, GG.
And I think, you know, Itachi earlier, you know,
I didn't get to touch on it, but if you're still listening, you know,
one thing to really do is honestly keep your eyes peeled for the timeline.
Like, as we get closer to 8Fest, you know, those community events will 100 percent spin up and, you know, find yourself in those groups, find yourself, you know, in the right chats.
And, you know, as they come up, you know, be sure to kind of take advantage and just be ready for a hectic week.
You know, you can prepare. I think Cap, I think I'm pretty sure it was Cap that had mentioned. It doesn't matter how much you prepare.
Apes are going to ape.
It's going to be a hectic week.
Just be ready to have fun across the board.
Can't wait to see you there.
I got to jump, guys.
I got another meeting.
But, yeah, it's a good week when we get to announce Ape Fest.
It's something to look forward to.
And, yeah, hit me on the timeline with your questions.
More news, you know, over the next few weeks.
Appreciate you coming through, man.
Thank you, Chad.
Thank you all.
Have a good Friday.
Thank you, Chad.
Take care.
We'd love to chat.
Yeah, my brother in culture inside of the Yuga building.
brother and culture inside of the inside of the yoga building many conversations about
vape and bbc and neptunes and board of yacht club
Ben what's going on brother i am doing great man sorry trying to you know i wanted to roll out
something a little exciting so trying to multitask and do that at the same time.
But doing great, man. We had a really great week on Ape Chain. I know I just said that.
We have one of our folks up here, Chef Pancho Poppins, dropped a really dope mint.
If you haven't messed around with it, feel free to hop in. It actually stems from the last ApeFest in Lisbon, which is like a little lore behind the bubblegum, bubblegum machine, all that fun stuff.
If you haven't messed around with it, feel free to hop in.
So if you haven't started messing on ApeChain, please don't hesitate. Use the ApeCoin page. Use the ApeChain Hub page as your tools. And feel free to lean on people like myself, Lost in the audience, the rest of the team.
page as your tools and feel free to lean on people like myself lost in the audience the rest of the
team um if you can give me two minutes i'll be able to speak a little bit more on on that note
um yeah absolutely man what we'll do in the meantime is say what's up to don diablo welcome
him up how you doing man happy friday how you how's everything good thank you. Looking forward to Vegas. I've been there a few times and always come back happy and broke. So it's going to be good.
Looking at the flights already from Sweden and they're actually not bad. They're like sub $500 return, which is pretty incredible if you book them in advance.
come in advance um my my my tiger tip for las vegas for those people that are going for the
first time from europe is don't buy anything in the hotel and don't touch anything in the minibar
like if you if you wake up hungover in the morning and you want that bottle of water in your fridge
it's gonna cost you like 20 bucks so fill up fill up at the pharmacy and and the target and stuff
like that that are around the strip or off the strip. I think I paid like $8 for a chocolate bar,
like a Babe Ruth or some shit like that,
because I was hungover and couldn't walk the extra hundred meters to somewhere else.
So watch out, watch out for that one.
And then the Nordic Apes.
So there's a Nordic Apes group.
And we've started talking about the Norwegians and the Swedish coming over and people that are on their own and things like that.
And a couple have reached out that aren't maybe great in English.
So we're going to try and we're going to try and put something together so we can either travel together or meet up and stuff like that so we can show them around.
And I just thought I'd drop that in
in Swedish, if that's okay,
just quickly.
Yeah, go for it, bro.
Yeah.
Hey, if there are many who come from
northern, Sweden, Denmark
and Norway,
then it's like
an Englishman, but I've been here for 17
years. So if you need help
with something, if you need
talk, or if you want to know
where we're going, or go, fly,
or play, and so
you can just hear it in DM.
Then we'll solve it together
and see if we have a
good event. So So thanks so much.
Thanks, guys.
Appreciate you coming up, man.
Worldwide love.
Yeah, it feels like we all have to follow up with the breakdown in our own native languages.
What's going on?
We can't lack.
Let's get those Valley boys up here.
We're going to need to change that into some valley slang i think
gene will understand this sup brah no i'm playing uh i do love how um cultural our club is and and
how we are worldwide i know last year i think illa wasn't it like 56 countries represented at
ape fest uh can't wait to see what that number will be this year. Cause, uh, clubs always growing. We've seen the charts. I love it. Uh,
who else we got up here? We've got some homies. I think chef Poncho,
you wanted to talk about what you're cooking up. Let's jump into it, man.
Perfect time. Yeah. Yeah. Uh, thanks, uh, spend for doing the, uh,
little intro there. Uh, the board bubble gum machine, uh,
was at a fest uh illa was actually the first ape to
pull out a little prize by uh putting in a token and kind of cranking the the slot won a little
monkey that was this sort of setup for our nft project which is bringing that into the metaverse
and you know poncho loves bubblegum and we've built the whole lore around it uh and
the the mint is happening now uh just pinned it up top and uh you know the uh there's 88 prize
prizes within including five irl bubblegum machines uh a bunch of different NFTs, including Gs and shapes and portals and Pixel Pals and
others, and then some other surprise sort of prizes that'll be revealed. But all the arts
done by Hydra Animation, Jacopo, of course. And, you know, we're just, you know, it's really about like
getting popping foods off the ground and delivering IRL utility with fine dining and
food activations, food tours. We're so stoked for Vegas between Jennifer and myself. We have numerous connections in Vegas to restaurants and other things.
So this is right up our alley to like really, you know, step up and deliver some amazing activations and share food, break bread across the club.
But the bubble bubble gum machine is
also an NFT project. So there's all kinds of other types of things planned for the future.
Don't want to reveal the alpha just yet, but, uh, we're just minting, uh, right now. Uh,
it's pinned up top. Appreciate your support. You know, we've been grinding. I've been an ape since
day one. And, uh, this, this idea was born and it's just, you know, come to a point where we have to really launch it out, get things going and ask for uh amazing to see like bubbles coming to perpetual other side
right up our alley we've got you know all all kinds of stuff that we just been like dying to
to release but the bear market was a roller coaster and now we've got our own chain
apes strong together Let's fucking go.
Shout out to all the bear market survivors.
We know who you are.
You're all still with us.
We are the survivors, the round trippers.
Nah, dude.
Poncho, appreciate you, man.
You put in a lot of effort and love into the club.
That's why I minted some.
I wanted to support you.
Here's what I dig.
That people are experimenting on Ape Chain.
I think that's one of the most fun parts of Ape Chain is you see all this sort of experimentation, creativity, fun, right?
And I think of, let's say, Frosty's, for example, yesterday.
He just did something fun, kind of experiment, something unique. And you see that time and time and time again here with the Ape Chain community.
Lost. Do you feel similarly? Like this is a chain for creativity and exploration this is a chain for uh for exploration this is a community that knows about experimenting this is a
group of people that loves to fuck around and find out however you want to put it i 100 agree
and we're definitely seeing some
interesting things exploding on ape chain from from the community to partners to the team itself
i've seen some pretty degenerate stuff going on so yeah experiments and exploration
i know lost is in heaven man lost has been flying the ape the the ape chain the ape coin flag the uh the dow flag for
as long as i can remember and right now it's like it just must feel great to just to be
vindicated you know i'm saying because he was a believer he was the believer and we used to be in
that group chat throwing up the wildest ideas.
I would come in there raging and we'll also be right there like, hey, I love that shit, man.
Hit me on the side.
So now to see things like Banana Bill and all the amazing things that's transpiring with our chain, there's no one I'm happier for than Lost.
Straight up.
That's the homie.
He's been flying the flag, bro.
Yo, I appreciate that i'm
i'm especially excited today i feel like you almost gave me a perfect segue there i'm honestly
waiting for spend right now we're trying to we're trying to get spend on the same boat right now
that's why he had to do a quick a quick lap but today especially i am excited and i mean it almost
feels like when you're a winner right like when you're a winner you almost have to be humble about it when you if you're a loser you know you don't want to be sore and when you're a winner, right? Like when you're a winner, you almost have to be humble about it.
If you're a loser, you know, you don't want to be sore.
And if you're a winner, you don't want to be sore either.
So when we're winning right now, it's like, this is table stakes, you know?
Like this is how it was supposed to be.
This is like what I've been waiting for, yeah.
And this is how I felt the whole time.
So to have the vibe actually match the way that I felt about the community, the way that I felt
about our potential this whole time.
Fucking on the moon, can't wait to see
people's faces, can't wait to go to
Ape Fest, can't wait to go to more events.
I mean, one day in
Vegas for Ape Fest, I mean, I hope we all
fucking make it home. I hope we all make it back.
I'm curious what the road trip after is going to be
in Asia.
People went to Taiwan and Japan and then in Europe.
People went to Amsterdam and Spain.
And then now it feels like the vibe is set.
So I already saw some interesting stuff on the timeline.
I think it was Grateful's looking to do a road trip.
Someone told him go to Tijuana.
I'm giving a thumbs up on that.
I think it actually was Illa that told him he's got to do the Tijuana trip.
So I'm giving a plus one to that.
Grateful, that's a plus one to that. Grateful.
That's a plus one on that road trip idea.
There might be like an L.A. stop just before that. That's your last chance to, you know, get anything regular out before you go to Tijuana and get all the crazy shit out.
So definitely plus one on that.
And while I'm especially excited, I'm trying to lag.
I'm trying to linger.
I'm trying to buy myself some time just a little bit to to let spen come up here and join me in this moment because he's really he's really supposed
to be in damn i feel like i really got it i'm gonna i just wanna i want him to be here i need
i need spen to be here with us for this moment so yeah baron pick it back up and let's like what i
will say about loss that i love is you can stretch a single moment into like five minutes without very like it seems like effortless, you know, and that is a skill, man.
I someday can see you and I would probably vote for you to be a politician simply because I've heard you talking about ApeCoin constantly for years now.
I'm like, oh, dude, uh this guy when he goes for office let
me know uh you got my vote man i don't even know you know where that comes you know where that
comes from it's coming from when he did so whenever the blunt gets to him he'd be like
yeah you know what i'm saying he starts talking that word salad just so he can hit the blunt three
more times yeah thc, that's where that come
from. That's a skill. That's where he learned that from. You got to practice your kush-ups.
You know, you got to, you got to, you got to practice those. All right. Look, Spandis here,
we're having, we're having funky difficulties on the side, but I mean, we could, I could only,
I could only, you know, we could only extend the rotation for as long as we could go. And I think
we extended it. He's back. He did the lap.
I mean, I think you can see it from my page.
If you're looking, maybe there's like a delay.
I know Twitter is a shitty bird and, you know, birds are kind of shitty.
And I don't know how it's doing today. But if you look, I feel crazy to even say this.
Like, I've literally been here so long.
I'm so excited.
I love this community so much. Like, it's crazy to get even say this. Like, I've literally been here so long. I'm so excited. I love this community so much.
Like, it's crazy to get to say this.
But my account is verified by the ApeCoin profile.
Shpen's account should be...
He has the damn invite.
Twitter is just a shitty bird.
Shpen's account is also going to be verified by the ApeCoin account.
And the reason for that is we're fucking out here all day, every day.
The community is always asking us questions. And damn it if we're not here to help. So when you see us,
now you know we're a part of the team. You can go straight to the team. You can, yes,
join us in our community channels. Please join us in our community channels. You guys are welcome
to kit our DMs up. But if you have those technical questions, the Discord is still there. The
Telegram is still there. But we know you guys are here, and we're here with you, so we're here to help the community.
Give Spen those feet pics, but damn it,
if Spen is not awake at five in the morning and asleep at midnight
and answering tickets every hour of that day, so just give him some love.
Keep those technical tickets in the Discord, but definitely feel free to hit us up
in those DMs if you guys have questions,
if you guys are looking for information,
if you guys are looking for a way to get connected
with somebody in the community
that you feel like is maybe out of reach.
We're definitely here to help you with that.
And on a fun note,
if you see us doing some copy pasta shit,
if you see us spamming anything,
everything about ApeCoin,
that is our culture, damn it.
We need to carry that over to ApeCoin,
carry that over to ApeCoin.
Just like when Baron does a pasta,
when Boris does a pasta,
when you see Spanerai come out with something
that looks like it's got pasta potential,
we need to flex that.
We need to get that conversation out on the timeline
so people know what we're doing over here.
Yo, and if you got pasta potential,
DM me, and I have no problem retweeting it.
I know a lot of you guys do that.
If you need a little nudge off the edge
I will definitely push you no problem there
Yeah
Amazing breakdowns
Speaking of positive potential
I'll go ahead Span
I was just going to echo I'm getting super rugged
I've talked too much shit about X and Elon
And now he's not allowing me to accept his badge
So I was just going to say
Keep your eyes peeled for more affiliate badges
Like you're rolled out like myself Like maybe a few others in the near future so uh yeah keep
your eyes peeled sorry yellow no no i was gonna say um there is a post i'm trying to find a
dependent up top that in and out burger is saying you know they made a post saying what crypto should
they accept let's make sure that we raid that.
Let's make sure our entire community raids that
with ApeCoin because, you know,
at the end of the day, it just makes sense.
Even though they do have the worst French fries.
Like, I'm not going to hold you.
We got to find that dog and pin it up above
because the In-N-Out intern is on one.
And so when I saw it yesterday,
I was like, ApeCoin, send it to the team.
Send it to everyone. Like, fucking notify the troops let's let's rally and i would love to buy an in and out burger with ape coin that would be incredible but uh their fries do have have issues
ape coin fried fried uh fried um shoaces. That's what it tastes like. Fried shoelaces.
You have to eat them with a bunch of spread.
Habaka loves the fucking sauce.
You gotta get them piping hot or...
Actually, that's it.
If you don't get them super hot and eat them immediately, you are eating shoelaces.
They got these in Vegas, just if you guys are listening in.
Like, damn, I don't have an In-N-Out burger.
What do I do?
They're in Vegas. Yo, you guys are listening in like, damn, I don't have an In-N-Out burger. What do I do? They're in Vegas.
Yo, I will tell you, though, if you're looking for a nice meal, I had an amazing, just giant steak when I was in Vegas last.
And that's where it's fun to get some crazy meals in.
So, you know, look for those runners, hit a hot table, whatever you need to do.
But I look forward to that kind of shit. Baka, what's good? Happy Friday. How you doing, homie?
Welcome up. Chilling, bro. Chilling, chilling. You know me, man. Just another Friday. Happy to
be here, man. Love the club. Super excited. Dude, I've never been more excited. Like,
this is going to be the best fucking A-Fest, dude. Oh, man.
It's just crazy.
That lineup going around, I'm not sure if it's real.
It probably is.
It's probably going to be better than that.
We'll see.
I'm ready, dude.
Whatever lineup you saw, it is not real.
That has not been announced yet.
Do not get got by AI.
I think that was from Dem.Eth,
and he's been frying, folks.
So, GG.
It's going to be fun, though.
But, yeah.
I don't think that was fun.
What line up they're talking about, Span?
I don't even want to say it.
I feel like if I say it up here,
somebody's going to clippy-clippy,
and the next thing you know, it's posted,
See, you know, it's posted, and then Gargis boinking me in the DMs.
and then Garg is boinking me in the DMs.
Like, yo, I can't believe you said this.
Just know it's like Ape Fest 2 lineup vibes.
The poster Dim made, like I saw two or three of them.
That's pretty funny.
You never know.
Aspirational thoughts.
You put it out in the universe, you never know what might happen, right?
That's how I look at it.
It's positive thinking. Illa, I can't wait to see who we get to enjoy. There's
so many talented musicians that have been at every previous Ape Fest. Last year's was incredible.
I had a great time watching French Montana and Anderson .Paak or DJ Pee Wee, but that shit was
super sick. We have some people trying to come up, come down.
So if you don't mind, I'm going to rotate people around.
If you want to come back up, you're welcome to come back up.
It's been a hell of a week, guys.
A lot of stuff happening.
Appreciate everyone who just jumped up.
We've got Machiavelli up here.
What's up?
Happy Friday.
How you doing?
Yo, happy Friday.
Shout out to everybody in the crowd.
Happy meet at the clubhouse.
Yo, I'm having a great motherfucking day.
I'm super excited about Vegas.
You can catch me and my crew out and about around that area for sure.
Yo, I want to do, like, I'm going to tell y'all right now.
I want to do, like, the Michelin star dinner with the fucking 20 courses.
With the, you know what I'm saying?
We all sitting at the table doing, like, all the whole shebang bang.
Do the thing.
Whether it's Hell's Kitchen or we got Chef Poncho Poppins serving us.
I want that experience in motherfucking Vegas.
You know what I'm saying?
I also need a driving experience,
Illa. So whether we're running over fucking tanks, we're skirting around in Lamborghinis,
whatever it is, banana mobiles, I need that shit in my life. You know what I'm saying? I need some
kind of shit where I fall from the sky and a big ass ape catches me. So work that shit out too.
You know what I'm saying?, I'm fucking ready for this,
let's fucking go, no, but hey, yo, I hope everybody's having a great day, happy Friday,
I came up here to actually talk about a few other things too, because I got a lot of things cooking
in the background, and we've already started the processes to move forward and all that,
as Baron knows, and just, you know, I just wanted to come up here chat the shit and just say yo i'm so excited what a time to be alive to be a part of the club and yo this
year's las vegas let's fucking do it i got you on that drive energy right there yeah i was about to
say just get in the car with lost and it's basically like riding in a tank with dodging missiles and GGs. Yo, so Josh Ong did
offer a post where he found
for, I believe it's 1 point something,
1.4 ETH, we can
crush a tank or something.
Crush a car with a tank. It would be crazy
if we could crush a tank.
I got .05
on it.
Yeah, that's going to be lit.
And I know I was supposed to link with Gordon.
God bless our brother Gordon.
Hopefully his health is on point by the time A-Fest
because he wants to join us this year.
Because I know he got into shooting guns.
He loves that experience, just like my crazy southern black redneck ass.
So, yeah, we were supposed to actually meet in Texas and shoot a tank.
So hopefully we can get that popping in Vegas.
I know if Gordon is there, all the apes don't want to go shooting guns
and shooting tanks and having mayhem in the desert.
So Lord willing, man.
Matter of fact, I'm about to ping him on the side about that
because that needs to go down.
Josh, good looking out on that. See, we are – look at that, man. That fact i'm about to ping him on the side about that because that that needs to go down josh good looking out on that see we are look at that man we that's the thing about the club we talk about it there's some ape that's gonna have his googles ready and come with the
information and have their credit card ready to deploy because that's how we do we get active
baby profits what's going on queen yo yo yo. Happy Friday. How you guys feeling?
I just want to say I called it.
I just want to say I called it.
In Paris, you got a tight team, though.
I give you guys some props.
In Vegas, we were in a circle, and Miss Spicy Tina was a part of that circle.
A few of us, I think Lost was there.
I said, hey, hey guys, are we going to Vegas?
And then they all just completely just gave me the most amazing poker face.
And I was like, all right, just kidding.
What's up? How about that?
Ape coin.
And then I changed the subject.
But man, I'm fucking excited.
I'm excited. I'm excited.
I'm going to say it
right now. So it's very clear. I'm absolutely going to be throwing a mini BeatBazzle on the
same week of ApeFest in Vegas. So we're going to have a lot of fun. I know some people, some haters
are like, one day, what do you mean one day? You go this, you go that. Because they know we're
about to go crazy with side events. That's why. us have our time very grateful so i'm i can't wait for vegas it's gonna be a lot of fun i can't wait to see
everybody it's gonna be a fucking movie yes indeed man you know how many people have been
in my dm and irl trying to poach me for this information about vegas and i just kept it
kept it p you ain't getting nothing from me but now the didn't you start the hawaii rumor
yeah i did start the hawaii rumor and you know at the end of the day that's just gotta throw them
off yeah yeah and it's using the secret. I've utilized the secret for massive success in my life,
so I do believe Ape Fest Hawaii will be a thing.
I mean, a Hawaiian shirt on Curtis is just the most iconic thing,
and I love Hawaiian shirts.
And if we do an Ape Fest in Hawaii, I feel like in the welcome bag,
everyone should have a Hawaiian shirt so we can have our badges on
with Hawaiian shirts. I got to keep pushing for Ape-sterdam then, come back everyone should have a hawaiian shirt so we could have our badges on with hawaiian shirts
i gotta keep pushing for apsterdam then because when i put that out last year that like that hit
with the people apsterdam would be an amazing experience i'm just i'm also putting it into
the universe what if we did like a macy anniversary in hawai Hawaii before Apsterdam. I think we need a bull market
first to dream that high again.
Yo, hey, coming this fall.
Yeah, that's the beauty of
the reason I love Vegas because
I've also wanted us to buy
not buy, but book out an entire
cruise ship because I've done that
before. I've done a party this DJ Khaled has a cruise
in the summertime. He does it like he was, it was every year.
And then because of COVID he skipped a couple of years and two years ago,
he held it again. I think this year he's doing it again.
It is fucking incredible. When I tell you, it is amazing.
And for some reason, when you book artists to go on the cruise,
they love it because they get a free cruise and their whole crew wants to go. Because most people, as wild as it seems,
not a lot of people have gone on cruises in their life. So when you get offered for a free one and
you get paid to go on one, oh man, the yeses come flying in. And know everyone is on one is in on one cruise eating together partying
together gambling together you stop at every cruise line has their own island like it's a vibe
then you stop on the bahamas and go get off the boat and go explore the bahamas and eat there and
learn some of the culture and some of the pirate culture because i love pirates um it's a vibe so
yeah i'm gonna put that out there too.
But I've always wanted that to
go down and I think this is the close
this is super close. Vegas
is very contained. It's
super, as big as it is
it's still small. It's still Vegas.
So there's going to be pockets of people
doing all type of dope shit.
That itinerary this year
is going to be something else.
I can see us like...
For F1, we had...
What was it? Hakkasan, I think we went to?
And bought out
all these tables, and it was
the biggest movie ever.
So if that was just for F1,
I could only imagine what the apes
are going to do at Ape Fest.
We finna go ham at some of these clubs, man.
Day parties, the whole nine.
So I'm with all the shit.
It's going to be a good time.
I can't wait.
I think Vegas is one of those places that's just going to be a blast
for all sorts of different community members.
I look forward to it.
But hell, guys, pace ourselves with all the excitement.
It's six months away.
So if you're
planning a side event i mean i would start now it's probably gonna take a minute if you're looking
for communities to activate with there's people out there doing stuff i know nft hoarder and asif
are activating i'm sure profits is activating i'm sure poncho you know there's a lot of people out
there so if you don't want to lead an event and you want to help someone i'm sure there's going to be some kind of experience like that for you
yo can i just add this i don't know this should be obvious but it's almost five years now
we should all use each other's dms more often and book each other's calendars more often as well
because collaboration is number one no matter what. And it's not about anybody leading, none of that.
Straight up, contact me, reach out.
I reach out.
I do a lot of reaching out.
Everybody here on this stage has an unread DM for me, most likely.
I reach the fuck out.
So my DMs are open.
Let's fucking run this up.
Let's make this the most memorable ape fest ever
because we know this is the number one club on the internet
here's what i look forward to as well the art the art has been incredible with what they've done so
far uh i'm a big poster collector from every ape fest so far so i look forward to the biggest theme

Legendary poker tournament. We got to see how that can go down.
Renting out one of these rooms at the hotels that somebody's staying at,
and we just have like a real eight-game night.
Like that's the way.
We did that at F1, and it was amazing.
So we need to turn that up to the umpteenth level for A-Fest.
Multiple rooms, multiple hotels.

Thank you, everyone, for coming through and hanging out,
giving us some of your time this Friday.
I want to ask Spend or Lost
Do you guys have anything that we should look forward to
This week with Ape Chain
Or anything that you want to put on our radar
Before we end today?
Yeah, hell yeah
Look forward to me finding a way to get this goddamn badge
We've been on the side trying to get this live
Stay tuned
Outside of that, I mean, it was, you know
Pretty impactful week, right?
We had Frosty's longtime legend drop a generative art project on Ape Chain.
And I think the cool thing about that is he used that project to also highlight some of the culture on Ape Chain.
Like some of the meme coins are actually like the main kind of trait or the main traits are kind of named after the top meme coins on Ape Chain.
So really cool to see him kind of mix both those.
Legend of the club, Aloe, you know, he brung home that wicked BAYC from Spotlight.
He's also dropping an Aloe pass.
I know maybe you guys were like me, you assumed it was a joke, but it's for real.
And it has, it's going to be tied to, you know, assisting folks in building.
He's going to be providing tools, be know, assisting folks in building. He's going to be providing tools, providing consultation, providing things across the board.
So if you're looking to build on ApeChain, Allo is one of the best builders we have.
He has his hands everywhere.
Keep your eyes open for that pass.
And next week is going to be exciting.
You know, make sure you're following the ApeCoin page.
Make sure you're following the ApeChain page.
We did also roll out Bubble Maps V2 on ApeChain.
So, you know, for any of our on-chain sle Maps V2 on ApeChain. So, you know,
for any of our on-chain sleuths, if you know anything about Bubble Maps, you know, they've
they help people uncover all types of things. But we do have a small little giveaway tied
with that. There is a secret bubble on the ApeChain, you know, NFT section. So if you
can find that secret bubble, you'll be redirected somewhere and, you know, you'll be able to
take home something nice. So we did already have two people find out, and I know the tweet says first, but this
is Ape Chain.
The intern's always cooking.
Who knows?
Keep searching, find that bubble, and land in the Discord.
Outside of that, again, those affiliate badges are coming out.
You're going to see myself with them, lost with them, a couple other folks here and there,
and when you do, don't hesitate.
That's your green light to reach out. And yeah, really excited. Thanks for having us as always.
Ape chain on top. Ape chain on top. I got it. I got a quick note. We're giving away those think
agents. Saw a lot of news on the timeline. If you guys saw that post, go ahead and put your,
put your thoughts in, put your ideas in that last post. Maybe you guys could still get picked out.
We definitely want to celebrate the club, celebrate the birthday.
So if you're an ape, make sure you did not forget to put a comment into that post from the ApeCoin account
talking about Think Agents looking for winners of those NFTs.
And move your fucking ApeCoin.
If you guys have ApeCoin in the old staking contract, it's dead.
It's done. It's not working.
However, I need to say it to inspire you.
If you want to keep getting rewards for staking your ApeCoin using your Ape, using your doggo, mutant, board, whatever you got, you got to move the ApeCoin onto ApeChain and use the new ApeChain stake contract.
There's no geo blocking. The fees are lower to claim. And when you claim the rewards, you get native yield on ApeChain.
If you haven't done it yet, stop it. The other thing that came out from the ApeCoin account is
you might get a Mentator.
You might just wake up with brand new ApeChain
NFTs if you're staking
on ApeChain. So don't wait.
Do that now. And I'm ready
to crush that car with a tank at ApeFest.
I'll be driving. Thank you.
See you then.
Yo, Ella, do you want to wrap there?
You got anything that can top Lost?
Because I don't have anything personally.
That was beautiful.
Not Lost Crushed.
On that note, we are out.
Go enjoy your weekend.
Make sure you start drinking water and getting your electrolytes in for now.
Because it's going to be one of them weekends.
And remember, what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.
And then it leaves Vegas and goes to L.A., then goes to Tijuana.
And then what happens there may become an international crime.
So get your lawyer game up, too.
Have a good one.
Later, guys. Bye.
